(Blake's POV)

I continued to look at him... my big brother, Tyros... H-He was here... in the flesh... Wait... earlier, Dairoku said I had met one of his teammates and his team is supposed to arrive tonight... Is Tyros one of them...?

Me: T-Tyros...?

Tyros: That is my name. Hey there Bla-

I cut him off by running to him and pulling him into a tight hug. I heard him sigh happily before hugging me back.

Tyros: Good to see you too sis.

Me: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you... to mom and dad... I-

Tyros: Blake, it's alright, really. I'm just glad to see you alive and well.

I didn't know what to say so I just tightened my grip around him while he patted my head.

???: Aww, don't you just love family reunions?

We turned around to see that same Monkey Faunus boy from the docks

Tyros: And you are?

"TEAM RCST"
VOLUME 1 FINALE
CHAPTER 10: BLACK AND WHITE; TEAMS REUNITED

(Dairoku's POV) Two day time skip

So... it was two days since Blake ran away and since I heard from Tyros. I was now with Ruby, Yang and Weiss, looking for Blake... well at least three of us were... Yeah, Weiss was still not over what Blake said...

Ruby: *sigh* she's been gone all weekend...

Weiss: Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself.

Me: You're not helping...

Yang: Dairoku's right and she's one of our teammates.

Weiss: ...Is she? We all heard what she said.

I just shook my head in silence

Ruby: Weiss.

Yang: Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing and we need to find her.

Weiss: A member of the White Fang... Right underneath our noses!

Ruby: I just hope she's okay...

I placed my hand on Ruby's head to which she looked up at me

Me: Don't worry Little Rose, we'll find her.

Ruby gave me a small smile as we continued forward. I decided to check my scroll again but just like last time, Tyros' is offline; I bet he was with Blake right now... Then I noticed a message for my other two teammates; at least they weren't far from us...

(Blake's POV)

Right now, Tyros, the Monkey Faunus known as Sun and I were at a café in the afternoon. I was... thinking about my teammates and Dairoku... I'm starting to think I shouldn't have ran... but... I know Dairoku wouldn't be mad at me since... he is a Faunus too and he figured out I was a part of the White Fang but... What about Ruby, what about Yang... What about Weiss...? Especially Weiss... Why do things have to be so complicated?

Me: So... you want to know more about me...

Tyros: About us.

I looked towards Tyros who had his arms crossed.

Sun: Finally they speak! Nearly two days and you've both been completely ignoring me and talking to each other and when I do get either of you to say something, it's just small talk and weird looks.

Tyros and I just glared at Sun, not to his surprise.

Sun: Yeah, like those!

Tyros just rolled his eyes; I'm getting the impression that he doesn't like Sun...

Me: Sun... are you... familiar with the White Fang?

Sun: Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't of them. Stupid, holier than thou creeps that use force to get what every they want. Bunch of freaks if you ask me.

Me: Well, My brother and I were once a part of it.

Sun chocked on his drink before alternating his surprised gaze between my brother and I to Tryos' annoyance

Sun: Wait a minute, you both were members of the White Fang?

Me: That's right... We were members of the White Fang...

Tyros: You can almost say we were born into it.

Me: Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between the Humans and Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings, And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people.

Tyros: And we were there. We were at the front of every rally, every boycott. We thought we were making a difference... but at the time, we were just youthful optimists. But five years ago, our leader stepped down and a new one took his place, and that's when I left.

When Tyros looked at me, I just looked down in shame...

Tyros: However, she stayed. After I had left, the two of us had a... falling out and we lost contact with each other. That's until my team leader told me she was here in Vale, at Beacon. And I happened to run into her when I got back from a mission.

Sun nodded at Tyros before looking at me.

Sun: So, have you told your team any of this?

(Dairoku's POV)

So I agreed to do two swoops around downtown Vale to look for Blake but, I strangely couldn't find her; almost as if she's keeping out of my vision. I decided to fly back to Ruby, Yang and Weiss who were walking along the sidewalk, the two sisters calling out for Blake. When I landed, the two looked at me expectantly but I just sighed and shrugged.

Me: I flew around downtown Vale twice and found not a single trace of her. I feel like she's doing everything in her ability to stay out of sight.

Ruby and Yang sighed in frustration.

Ruby: Weiss you're not helping!

Weiss: Oh! You know who could help? The Police!

Me: Not funny Weiss...

Weiss: It was just an idea.

Ruby: Yeah, a bad one.

Yang: Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions.

Weiss: I-I think that when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right!

Me: And you'll realize how overly dramatic you're being about this.

???: And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!

We all turned around to see Penny walking with us.

Ruby: Ahhhh! Penny where did you come from!?

Me: *sigh* Hey there Penny.

Penny: Hey guys! What are you up to?

Ruby: Uhh...

Yang: We're looking for our friend Blake.

Penny: Ohhh, you mean the Faunus girl!

Ruby, Weiss and Yang looked at Penny dumbfounded while I chuckled a bit.

Ruby: Wait, how did you know that?

Penny: Uhh... the cat ears?

Yang: What cat ears? She wears a... boowoohh...

The group stayed quiet as I just snickered a bit. The wind blew as a tumbleweed rolled past us and I waved at it

Ruby: She does like tuna a lot...

Me: Ahh please... don't ever change Little Rose.

Penny: So, where is she?

Ruby: We don't know. She's been missing since Friday.

Penny gasped in kind of a dramatic fashion before walking uncomfortably close to Ruby

Penny: That's terrible! Well, don't you worry Ruby, my girlfriend and Dairoku my boyfriend! I won't rest until we find your friend!

Ruby: Uh... that's really nice of you Penny, but we're okay! Really! Right guys?

Me: Umm... Little Rose?

She looked over Penny's shoulder, only to see me standing there as Weiss and Yang suddenly disappeared... Then the tumbleweed rolled back past us as the wind blew, to which I waved at it.

Penny; It sure is windy today!

(Blake's POV)

Tryos, Sun and I were walking down the street but earlier, we were staying out of sight since Tyros saw Dairoku flying around the city, obviously looking for us.

Sun: So, what's the plan now?

Me: I still don't believe the White Fang are behind these robberies. They've never needed this much Dust before...

Tyros: I wouldn't be so sure about that sis.

Me: What do you mean?

Tyros: While I was on my mission, we heard some rumors of the White Fang planning something... something big... and they were sightings of Roman Torchwick working with them...

Me: Torchwick? That can't be right. There's no way the White Fang would work with someone like him, let alone a human... And even if it's true, it doesn't explain why they need so much Dust...

Sun: But... what if they did?

My brother and I looked at Sun confused at what he said.

Sun: I mean... the only way to prove that they didn't do it... is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it... and not find it there, right?

Tyros: Good point... But there's one problem... We have no idea where that would be.

Sun: Well, while I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas.

Me: How huge?

Sun: Huge. Big Schnee Company freighter.

Me: Are you sure?

Sun: Sure I'm sure.

Tyros: Hmm... Well, there's only one way to find out. C'mon.

The three of us began to make our ways to the docks in hope of clearing up the situation.

(Yang's POV)

After Weiss and I broke off from Ruby, Dairoku and Penny, we went into a book store, one of the many that Blake loved to go in, in hopes of finding here there but... no luck...

Me: Thanks again! *sigh* This is hopeless...

When I looked at Weiss, she seemed to not care at all

Me: You really don't care if we find her, do you?

Weiss: Oh don't be stupid, of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her... The innocent never run Yang

???: But the afraid do...

Weiss and I quickly turned around upon hearing the strange voice; it sounded like a female with a bit of a monotone... When we fully turned around, we saw two girls, both shorter than me... One had very long black hair, even longer than mine, like mid-thigh length with purple eyes and she was wearing a tight outfit with a sash on her left shoulder and black spiked gauntlets on her arms; she was also eating from a bag of small cookies...

(Outfit change all the red bits to dark purple and remove the quiver)

(Gauntlets)

The other girl had long white hair, a bit shorter than mine with magenta eyes and she was wearing an outfit with a long hooded jacket-like coat with her hood up and the insides of her cloak-jacket seemed to have a galaxy texture and a strange half horned mask that covers her right eye and replaces it with a glowing magenta orb-like eye... But a strange thing about her was... that she had two black wings on her back, like crow wings... Was she another Winged Faunus?

(Outfit)

(Mask)

Me: Umm... who are you two?

Purple eyes: Friends.

(Dairoku's POV)

Ruby and I were walking with Penny, still in search of Blake but it was getting late so I was starting to wonder if we should stop and continue tomorrow...

Penny: So, Blake's both of your friends?

Ruby: *sigh* Yes Penny...

Penny: And you're all mad at her?

Me: No Penny, Weiss is.

Penny: Is she Blake's friend?

Ruby: Well that's kind of up in the right now...

Penny: But why?

Ruby: *sigh* well you see, Blake might not be who we think she was.

Penny:... Is she a man???

I almost fell over but chuckle nonetheless

Me: No, no she isn't Penny, though that would be an... interesting yet funny twist...

Ruby elbowed me while pouting

Me: Sorry, sorry.

Ruby: *sigh* I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she ran off...

Penny: I don't have a lot of friends. Dairoku was my first friend and if there was something wrong with him, I would want him to talk to me.

I just smiled at Penny.

Ruby: Me too...

Me: Don't worry Little Rose, Blake's a tough girl. She'll be fine.

(3rd Person POV)

It was nighttime. Blake and Tyros were waiting on top of a building at the docks overlooking a Schnee Dust Company freighter, waiting for any suspicious activity, when Sun dropped down on them.

Sun: Did I miss anything?

Blake: Not really. They've offloaded all the crates from the boat. Now they're sitting around.

Sun: Cool. I stole us some food.

Sun was holding around 3 green apples. Tyros looked at him, raising his eyebrow before shaking his head and actually taking one from Sun. Then he began to eat the apple.

Blake: Do you always break the law without a second thought?

Sun: Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?

Blake and Tyros just glared at Sun when he fired back with that question.

Sun: Okay... too soon.

All of a sudden, a large gust of wind hit them as they heard loud turbine engines roaring. When they looked up, they saw Bullheads, landing in the docks. When the ramps opened, White Fang members walked out of it with their weapons.

Tyros: Just great.

Blake: No...

Sun: Is that them?

Tyros: Unfortunately.

Sun: You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?

Blake: No. I think deep down I knew... I just didn't want to be right...

Tyros: This isn't the same White Fang we knew...

??? Hey! What's the hold up!?

All three looked back down as they heard the voice; it was Roman Torchwick.

Roman: We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, sooooo why don't you animals try to pick up the pace.

Tyros: Damn... he's really working with the Fang...

Blake: This isn't right... *stands up with Gambol Shroud in hand* The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially not one like that.

Blake jumped down and began speeding towards Roman to Tyros' dismay

Tyros: Why is she always like this...?

Sun: She does that all the time?

Tyros: You don't know the end of it...

Roman: No you idiot! That's not a leash!

All of a sudden, Blake appeared right behind Roman, holding her blade to his neck in a hostage fashion

Roman: What the-? Oh for Fu-

Blake: Nobody move!

The group of White Fang member began aiming their weapons at her.

Roman: Woah! Take it easy there little lady.

Blake, while holding Roman hostage, took off her bow, revealing her cat ears. The lowered their weapons... for a while...

Blake: Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?

Roman: Heh, oh kid. Didn't you get the memo?

Blake: What are you talking about?

Roman: The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together.

Blake: Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation.

Just then, more Bullheads flew in and hovered over the docks.

Roman: I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation.

As Blake looked up at the Bullheads distracted, Roman pulled the trigger on his cane, shooting off an explosive shot right underneath them that sent Blake flying back.

Off in the distance, Dairoku, Ruby and Penny see and hear the explosion go off.

Dairoku: Oh no... C'mon, let's check it out.

Blake began dodging and rolling out of the way of Roman's shots but as one was about to hit her, Tyros dropped down, with his bladed bow called Grimm Hunter and deflected it, then he unsheathed a fire arrow from his quiver and aimed it at Roman with Grimm Hunter.

Tyros: Would you be so kind as to not shoot at my sister?

Roman just smiled and aimed at Tyros but unfortunately for him, a banana peel fell on his face and Sun landed next to Tryos.

Roman: You two aren't the brightest bananas in the bunch, aren't ya?

The White Fang members behind him began charging forwards. Sun and Tyros briefly looked at each other before slightly nodding to each other. Sun jumped in to attack as Tyros stayed back and kept firing off arrows at the targets, alternating between all kinds of arrows; fire, ice, lightning and wind to be more specific. For the members that got close to him, he blocked and dodged out of the way of their attacks, before slashing them with the bladed segments of Grimm Hunter. Then he suddenly broke his weapon in two, forming them into twin blades that he used to endlessly slash with. In the matter of seconds, Tyros was finished with his bunch and saw Sun finished as well as Roman was about to shoot him but he quickly recombined Grimm Hunter and shot it, using an earth arrow.

Then suddenly, Blake jumped over the two and began charging Roman.

Blake: He's mine!

Tyros: Wait Blake!

Blake didn't listen and began to release endless and ruthless slashes at Roman, while using her semblance of Shadows to swiftly maneuver around Roman but he was keeping up with her. Roman eventually kicked her back causing Sun and Tyros to step in.

Sun began going head to head with Roman, using his Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, first fighting with its staff mode before swapping to its badass Gunchuck mode and firing off shots while swinging the gunchucks; Roman surprisingly keeping up while Tyros kept swapping places with him, using Grimm Hunter in twin blade mode to slash at Roman with speeds similar to his sister but he wasn't as agile. Tyros and Sun managed to both kick Roman away from them but began aiming his cane at them before the voice of Ruby called out to him

Ruby: Hey!

The four of them looked up to see Ruby and Dairoku standing on a roof with Crescent Rose and Glacial Blaze in hand respectively.

Tyros: About damn time you showed up!

Dairoku: Well sorry! I might have gotten here sooner if SOMEONE didn't turn off his damn scroll!

Tyros: Sorry you're butt-hurt about me ignoring you!

Roman: Oh, hello Red and Wings! Isn't it past your bedtime?

Penny: Dairoku, Ruby, are these guys your friends?

Ruby: Stay back Penny!

As Ruby was distracted, Roman shot at her, causing Dairoku to get in front of her and block it with his wings, the same way he did the night they met.

Dairoku: You good Little Rose?

Ruby: Y-Yeah... I'm fine.

Dairoku nodded and looked at Roman with a scowl as Penny walked up next to him, her too looking serious and mad.

Ruby: Penny, wait! Stop!

Penny: Don't worry Ruby, I'm combat ready!

Penny's backpack opened up for around eight swords to fly out and hover around her. Her and Dairoku shared a look before nodding and jumping off the building to join the fight. The two allies tag teamed the group, Penny maneuvering her swords known as Floating Array by simple hand gestures and flips while Dairoku kept alternating between striking with his Glacial Blaze and Dreadful Sins, either firing the cannon on his right gauntlet or swinging the whip from the left gauntlet. Then multiple Bullheads flew in and began firing at the duo as they deflected their bullets. The two were surrounded by the Bullheads and were back to back.

Dairoku: Let's end them Penny!

Penny: Right!

Penny's Floating Array got into a particular position before spinning in a circular motion as a green beam of energy charged up while Dairoku began charging up his signature attack.

Dairoku: Now! DAWN!

The two fired off their respective lasers, Penny's laser splitting up and slicing the Bullheads into multiple pieces while Dairoku fired off his Dawn ability and the phoenix-shaped beam engulfed the Bullheads, incinerating them. Ruby watched in amazement as the two absolutely decimated the Bullheads.

Penny then noticed a Bullhead trying to get away with the Schnee Freighter but she launched two of her swords at it, piercing its hull, then began pull it down to the ground. Then Dairoku decided to help her out by launching the whip of Dreadful Sins at it, wrapping it around one of the engines and began to pull it down with her. The two sent it crashing down into some crates, exploding it.

Roman: These kids keep getting weirder and weirder...

Roman got into a Bullhead before it took off and flew off into the distance. Dairoku's Dreadful Sins retracted themselves back into the gauntlets and began kneeling, using Blaze to hold him up as he started breathing heavily from exhaustion. Ruby and Penny immediately got to his side.

Dairoku: Well, that was something...

(Time Skip)

After the battle, police cars arrived at the docks and Dairoku, Ruby, Tyros, Blake, Penny and Sun sat on some crates; Dairoku leaning against Ruby as he was still a bit tired from using his Dawn ability. They turned their heads when they heard footsteps; they saw Weiss, Yang and the two girls they ran into walking up to them. Dairoku leaned off Ruby as she got up to try and explain everything to Weiss.

Ruby: Look Weiss it's not what you think she explained the whole thing you see she doesn't actually wear a bow she has kitty cat ears and their actually really cute.

Yes, she said that without stopping to take a breath... Weiss just ignored her and walked up to Blake, who stood up.

Blake: Weiss. I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with-

Weiss just stopped her.

Weiss: Stop! Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you?

Blake just shook her head, slightly dumbfounded

Weiss: 12 hours. That means I've had 12 hours to think about this. And in that 12 hours, I've decided...

Everyone looked at Weiss, kind of anxious of what she would say

Weiss: I don't care!

Blake: Y-You don't care?

Weiss: You said you're not one of them anymore, right?

Blake: No, I-I haven't been since-

Weiss: Upupupupupupupup! I don't want to hear it! All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your teammates and not some...

She looked at Sun and Tyros as Dairoku just glared at her.

Weiss: Someone else.

Blake shed a tear of happiness before wiping it and smiling at her.

Blake: Of course.

Dairoku: To be fair, Tyros is Blake's brother sooooo...

Ruby, Weiss and Yang looked at Dairoku shocked while Blake held her arm nervously.

RWY: HER BROTHER!?!?

Dairoku: Yup. Tyros Belladonna, a member of my team. And it seems like you've met the others.

Dairoku went point to the two girls standing behind Weiss and Yang but they weren't there anymore.

Dairoku: What the... Where the hell did they...

Before he could finish, Dairoku was tackled by the girl with the black wings on her back. Her hood fell off as she tightly hugged him, not saying anything but smiling with tears of joy falling from her eyes. Dairoku just smiled and rubbed her head.

Dairoku: Heh, Heh... I missed you too Celeste.

As Dairoku began to stand up, he was suddenly hugged from behind as a feather of a raven floated past him. He then noticed it was the girl with the very long black hair.

Purple eyes: What about me?

Me: I missed you too Kuraime.

Yang: Wait, Dairoku you know them too?

Dairoku: Yup and I'm guessing they didn't introduce themselves... Well, they have a habit of doing that... Anyways, the cute chick behind me is Kuraime Silewe, a member of my team.

Kuraime, upon hearing what Dairoku called her lightly hit his head while slightly blushing.

Kuraime: Stop...! You're embarrassing me... You know Celeste is the cute one...

Dairoku reached behind him and began rubbing Kuraime's head.

Dairoku: You're cute too Little Rae. Anyways, the cute one with the white hair is Celeste Rein my little sister, another member of my team. She's a winged Faunus like me but a Crow Faunus. And... well, the four of us are Team RCST.

Celeste, Tyros, Kuraime and Dairoku looked at everyone who all gave them shocked looks. The four shared a confused look before Dairoku asked them,

Dairoku: What?

Meanwhile back in Beacon Tower, Ozpin was checking the live feed as two messaged popped up on his scroll, from two people named Qrow and Kai.

Qrow's message: The queen has pawns.

Ozpin: Hmmm...

Kai's message: Still no word on the missing Huntsmen. I'm on my way back.

Ozpin: Hmmm....

Ozpin just said nothing as he closed his scroll and walked back to his desk...

END OF VOLUME 1

————————————
Whooo! We made it through Volume One. Team RCST are now revealed; Dairoku Rein, Celeste Rein, Kuraime Silewe and Tyros Belladonna. I hope you guys will enjoy them! I can't wait to do Volume 2!

Also MythicalKaizer from the future. When I made this book, I had no originality so, if it seems similar to Ice Cold Rose, you know why. But, half way though Volume 3 and Volumes 4-8, it began getting more original. More noticeably near the end of Volume 6 and then Volume 7 and 8 were completely original. At least I think... so yeah, I had no originality back then. But it strays away from that in later Volumes. Hope you understand.
