The ground rumbled, and gusts of wind flew through ranks the makeshift team of hunters-in-training, and they were prepared for the source of those phenomenon. Then, the forefront of the treeline splintered apart as the large Deathstalker burst into the small clearing before the ravine, and the splinters flew at the group like tiny needles when the Nevermore swooped into the air above.

Azure narrowed his eyes, and gestured for all those behind him to get ready for the fight. Ruby cocked Crescent Rose, Weiss spun Myrtenaster, Yang cocked Ember Celica, and Blake drew Gambol Shroud.

"Guys, the Nevermore is coming up on our six!" Kat shouted as she drew her dual kama.

"Alright, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake, you girls take on the overgrown pidgeon, we'll take the Deathstalker." Azure said as he plugged his knives into the metal bars on his sides, coming away with two longswords.

"Got it!" Ruby said as she and the other three dashed away to the ruins.

"Oren, Nero, keep it's pincers busy! Pyrrha, Ren, fire at it's eyes! Jaune, Kat, hack off the legs! And Nora, wait for my signal, you'll know what to do." Azure said, directing them all to their positions.

Nero gave a nod toward Azure in response and rushes forward with Oren besides him. They run to the sides of it and shoot their wires across to the other, one high and one low before locking the strings to both gauntlets on each side and pulling, Preventing the pincers from moving while Jaune and Kat both started hacking away at it's legs. But the giant scorpion reared its stinger back, ready to strike.

"Oh no you don't, mother fucker." Azure grinned as he ran at the Grimm, bouncing off it's head, just missing getting hit by the firestorm of bullets, and cut off the stinger with a scissor-like motion with his knives, which were now swords, letting the business-end of it partially pierce its armor. "Nora!" Azure shouted. She whirled to look at him with an almost wild look in her eye. "Smash." He said simply. She grinned, and used a combination of the strength of her legs and an explosion to propel herself at least ten stories into the air, and used a second explosion to send her down already near terminal velocity. She brought her hammer down with the strength of the god of thunder himself, and sent the stinger through the Grimm, and into the ground. She celebrated with a loud cheer.

The group that had taken care of the Deathstalker had turned around just in time to witness Ruby cut off the head of the Nevermore, and take a place at the top of the cliff on the other side, and start heading back towards them. Just then, when they were about to go meet back with the other group, the trees burst apart once more, and the Beringals entered the clearing, glaring at all the assembled hunters-in-training, including Ruby and her group, who had rejoined the others.

"Shit!" Yang shouted."We can't run, we don't have enough energy to outrun them, what're we gonna do?" Yang had a crimson glare pointed at the Grimm, and was standing in front of Ruby protectively.

"Azure." Oren said flatly.

"But-" Azure started but Nero interjected.

"It's the only way to exterminate them that has a high likelihood of group survival." Nero said.

"Fuck… Yeah, you're right. Fine" Azure said solemnly. Azure kneeled and took the case from his lower back. "Guide my hand, Summer." He murmured, but just loud enough for the others to hear, and Ruby and Yang gasped when they saw the symbol on the case. He unclasped the locks on the case, and took the handle that was on one side, and from it extended a six foot blade that ended flatly, so the blade was a rectangle. It was white with red accents, and a sense of both warmth and foreboding came from the weapon. "Album…" Azure started.

"Moros." Ruby finished for him. "They told us one of her students had inherited her weapon, who knew he would be my first friend in Beacon?" Ruby had tears in her eyes, as did Yang.

"We're talking about this later, Azure!" Yang growled. Azure nodded, before standing up, the blade resting next him.

Azure's eyes glowed silver, with a hint of red and white, and then he dashed off, a flurry of blue rose petals, with white and red here and there, trailing behind him. He shouted in a bit of exertion as he swung the large blade, and cut across the blind Primal Beringal's chest, and landed on the other side.

"Damn, I have to be better!" He growled. He disappeared in petals this time and the same Beringal's chest was now mince meat, it had multiple cuts in every which direction. It brought its hand up to its chest and stared at it's blood. Then it's head fell off.

Azure dashed back around and cut off the left arm of the other Primal, then the right. He severed its legs, then bisected it from hip to shoulder. He turned his glowing eyes to the King who looked back upon him defiantly.

"You… Are going to die." He said trails of petals flew from where he was standing, until they came together like a drill and he reappeared in front of its face, a large glowing gun that looked a bit like crescent rose but with more plates and a bit thicker, aiming between its eyes. Azure fired, and the Grimm's head exploded, and a fifteen foot deep hole appeared where the shot had continued. Azure flipped backwards off of the Grimm's headless torso, and landed on a knee, with Album Moros back in it's Executioner Blade form.

Azure was panting, and blood fell from random places on his body, but more of them towards his chest, which was exposed since for some reason his clothes were ripped to ribbons, just barely hiding his modesty. Azure coughed a glob of blood on the ground, and smirked.

"Looks like, I'm a little rusty." he panted, before collapsing face-first into the ground and groaning loudly. "A little help?" He asked. Kat and Ruby rushed over and helped him up."Before you two ask, I'll tell you after team placements." Azure said seeing Yang's expectant look, and Ruby's pleading one.

[]Team Placements, Next Day, 7:00 AM[]

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark." Ozpin announced. The screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see as Ozpin continued. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL (Cardinal), led by... Cardin Winchester!"

The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while four students walk up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the screen.

"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR (Juniper)." Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug. "Led by... Jaune Arc!" Ozpin says, a small smile detectable on his face.

"Huh? L-Led by...?" Jaune mumbled confused.

"Congratulations, young man." Ozpin commended. A grinning Pyrrha offered a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her 'fine leader' is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

"Next, Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Blake Belladonna. And Yang Xiao-Long. You four collected the white knight pieces, and from this day forward, will be known as team RWBY (Ruby), led by… Ruby Rose." The audience clapped, and Ozpin grinned like a loon, especially after he noticed the sour expression of the white haired girl.

"Last, but not least, Argent Azure, Nyctores Treubruch, Oberon Edgewater, and Kat Aurum. You collected the white bishop pieces, and from this day forward, will be known as team AKNO (Actinolite)!" Ozpin announced. "Led by Argent Azure!"

[]Later in the Morning, 11:00 AM[]

"Thank Oum that initiation was on a Friday." Kat sighed as she reclined in the beanbag she had brought. The room was set up fairly simple, except for the fact that they had followed RWBY's example and had built bunk beds. For some reason Nero had a fair amount of 2X4 planks of wood, as well as a drill and plenty of screws. They had made Azure put the beds together. Nero and Oren slept on the left side of the room, while Azure and Kat were on the other. Oren and Azure both had top bunks.

Azure had even made a little overhang at the head of his bed which he put things on. Like his scroll, a picture, and a bracelet no one else had noticed. It was a chain with a silver cross with grey, white, blue, and pink inlets.

Other than that, the side of the room that Kat and Azure had taken up had band posters, which were mostly Kat's. A T.V., which had a game system hooked up, also Kat's, and A desk that was littered with spare parts, and had a computer sat on it, Azure's. And last, was a closet.

Nero and Oren's side had mostly bookshelves, as well as a desk that was clean, with papers in stacks. They also had a larger closet than the other two. Nero was sitting on his bed reading, while Oren was fiddling with her scroll. Kat was reclined on one of two beanbags, which were both huge, and was playing some racing game. The only one who wasn't awake was Azure, but he wasn't snoring so they let him be.

"YES! New personal best!" Cheered Kat as a 'Finished!' prompt came up on her screen. Just then there was a loud knocking on their door. Kat looked confused for a moment as she got up to answer the door. Nero wasn't even paying attention, and Oren just gave a cursory glance that lasted half a second before going back to playing with her scroll.

Kat opened the door to see team RWBY, who had their room down the hall from them. In their hall there were four teams. RWBY, JNPR, AKNO, and CFVY (Coffee). Other than their dorms there was a kitchen which usually went unused, and a room to do repairs and small upgrades for their weapons.

"Hey…" Yang, the one who presumably knocked, trailed off, trying to remember the girl's name.

"Kat, Kat Aurum, this is the second time I've told you this." The girl said flatly.

"Sorry. But, is Azure here? He promised us an explanation." Yang relented.

"Yeah, he's still asleep I'll wake him up." Kat said. Kat turned and walked up to Azure's bed, team RWBY walking into their room behind her.

"SEE! Bunk Beds are such a good idea that they thought of it too!" Ruby cheered.

"Yes, but theirs look structurally sound." Weiss replied. "How did you get the materials to do this anyway?" She asked.

"Oh, Nero had the supplies in his bag, and Azure is apparently really good at this kind of stuff." Kat explained.

"Sounds about right for an animal." Weiss humphed. She didn't notice either Blake or Kat's eye twitches.

"Yo, Azure, wake up." Kat said, pulling on his blanket.

"Go away, Neo." Azure groaned before going back to sleep.

"Who's Neo?" Kat asked, confused, As Nero's eyes flicked over to him and back before anyone could catch it.

"Probably his girlfriend." Yang chuckled. None of the assembled group noticed Ruby's sad sigh at that.

"I hope he sleeps naked." Yang smirked as she grabbed the blanket covering the faunus, and pulled. Azure immediately shot bolt upright and scanned the room. He locked onto Yang's smirking face and glared.

"What the hell?!" Azure hissed.

"Aww, I was hoping you slept naked." Yang sighed as she shamelessly ogled Azure. The only thing he was wearing was a pair of black boxer shorts.

"You are probably the second most perverted person I've ever met." Azure groaned as he hopped down to the floor. All eyes were on him as he ran his hand through his hair. "What?" Azure asked obliviously. He heard Yang giggle a bit, and looked around the room. The only ones not blushing were Nero and Oren, but he knew that they could control blood flow for the most part, at least when it came to blushing or things of that nature. He wished he had that ability right then as he took stock of his pelvic situation when Nero pointed downwards.

Azure made a choking sound as he grabbed clothes from his dresser as quickly as he could and dashed to the bathroom.

"I am so jealous of whoever his girlfriend is." Kat said, receiving a smack to the head from Weiss who walked out of the room muttering about shameless animals as Nero spoke up.

"Want me to tell you what you're missing out on?" Nero said with a straight face. Causing the blushes from the room to erupt further, and for one to ignite on Oren's face.

"Fuck you Nero, I'm a virgin!" Azure said, poking his out from the bathroom.

"Yeah? And I'm not." Nero replied, Still in his book before Oren punched him hard enough to send him off the bed.

"Doesn't matter, we don't need to talk about this, be mature." Oren scolded the boy as she shook her head and went back to typing on her scroll while Nero climbed back up beside her.

Azure walked out of the bathroom in faded blue jeans and a black sleeveless shirt, and black socks. He sighed to settle his blush and gained a serious look on his face.

"So, explanation time right?" He questioned

"Yeah." Yang said, equally as serious. Azure sighed and reached up and grabbed the case for Album Moros from his bunk.

"I never leave it too far from myself." He said at the girl's questioning look. He took a seat on a beanbag, Ruby joining him, and Yang and Kat on the other. Blake chose to sit on the floor. "So, where do you want me to start?" Azure asked.

"From the beginning." Ruby said.

"Well, I met Summer when I was eight, it was a year after my mom had found me and my best friend. At the time, we were living with Raven in the snowy forests just outside of Atlas. Summer came to visit Raven, and tell her how you were doing, Yang. In fact, the times when she would come over and tell her things about you were the times I saw her happiest." Azure had a nostalgic grin plastered on his face at the end there. Yang and Ruby both had a few tears in their eyes and gestured for him to continue.

"I had just finished a spar with my mom when Summer spotted me, she squealed and immediately glomped onto me and basically smothered me with her chest. I turned blue before she let me go. She and my mom talked about their time at beacon, and eventually they got to the part where they almost always tied in spars. I asked to spar with Summer, and she accepted. Needless to say, she beat my ass six way to Sunday. After that, she agreed to help my mom train me and my friend."

"It was gruelling and fun at the same time. Other than that, I have no idea how to explain it. My mom had unlocked my Aura when she found me, because I was in a bad way, but even then, I hadn't unlocked my semblance. I unlocked it when I was nine. We were walking through a town when a couple guys started trying to get touchy with Summer. She was about to put them in their place, but I was still pissed. I glared at them, and they turned into magled piles of human flesh, barely alive. Summer was surprised, and so was I, so we just ran.

"Sometime later after some testing, we found out it damages people based off their sins. Different things have different corresponding damage amounts. Like stepping on a bug that's outside when you know its there is a tiny ache in a random place, most wouldn't even notice it. Other things also affect it. Like if someone assaults some random person for no reason, it's like getting a strong punch, but if someone assaults someone who murdered someone in their family, no effect. But then, good deeds lessen the effects of sins, as well as willingness to repent." Azure explained.

"Does it just bypass Aura then?" Ruby asked.

"Not exactly. It won't affect someone's Aura level, but the strength of someone's Aura can reduce the damage somewhat. I can also anticipate the damage, and pinpoint bigger sins when I look at someone. But then it also highlights good deeds, and how they feel about their sins. It lets me be a good judge of character.

"But there was another thing. My semblance was amplified in regards to who activated it. Normally, it would be increased effect. Like you could heal them more and/or easier. Or do more damage. But with mine. I can tell if anyone has committed a sin against Summer, and what it was, and the damage of my use of it upon them is tenfold. The big thing though, is that I don't even have to see them, or know who or where they are. That led to a bit of awkwardness between her and I, but it just pulled us closer together. I just instantly get a name and location whenever I check who has done so." Azure sighed a bit as he leaned back.

"Who has the biggest sin against her, and what is it?" Yang asked.

"You aren't ready to know yet… It would affect your entire life." Azure admitted.

"But-" Yang was going to argue, but was cut off by Ruby.

"I think we should trust his judgement, Yang." Ruby said. Yang sighed and relented.

"Anyway, Summer continued to train us, and I will admit that I developed a crush on her, but I was a dumb kid at the time. She taught me how to use her weapon, and just general things about how to survive, and parts of the world. She was there for me when my mom died. It was hard, and if it wasn't for her, I probably would be either submerged in a sea of depression, or I would have commited suicide. It was just as bad, if not worse, when Summer died, but I still had Raven and her other student, my friend, to help. But before that, she taught me one other thing, well, a set of things." Azure grinned at Ruby.

"And what was that?" Ruby asked.

"I'll tell you in a minute. But first, do you believe in fairy tales?" Azure asked, the grin plastered on his face.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ruby pouted.

"I'm going to do this the exact way Summer did for me, now, do you believe in fairy tales?" Azure chuckled.

"I mean, I believe that some could be real, if we made them be real." Ruby said.

"Good answer in any other situation, but for this one, the correct one is yes." Azure grinned even wider at her confused face. "Every heard the one about the Silver-Eyed Warriors?" Azure asked.

"Yeah, mom used to read it to me all the time." Ruby nodded.

"Well, it's real." Azure said, making his eyes glow brightly. A few blue flames popped up around him, and coalesced into a rose, before bursting into blue rose petals. Ruby, Yang, and Kat all gasped, while Blake just had wide eyes. Oren and Nero didn't seem to be paying attention.

"What was that, and how did you do it?" Ruby asked.

"That, Red, was the power of my eyes. The stories say that those with silver eyes can kill any Grimm 'with but a glance'. That is partially true, but what we can do, it channel one of four elements depending on which Maiden we descend from, and yes I mean the ones from the Story of the Seasons. Those descended from the Winter Maiden, have powers of ice, those from the Spring have powers over lightning, the Summer Maidens descendents got fire, like me, and Autumn or Fall got wind." Azure listed these off while counting on his fingers.

"So, which one am I descended from?" Ruby asked.

"Winter. Summer ironically had the opposite of her name. I actually think that your grandmother was the maiden. My great grandmother on my father's side was the Summer Maiden." Azure explained. "Anyway, we'll get started training on your eyes tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to wield Album Moros. It shouldn't be too terribly different from how you wield Crescent Rose." Azure shot a grin at Ruby as he got up, then looked at Yang's conflicted face. "Yang, you've wanted to ask something from the beginning, what is it?"

"So, you said that my mom, Raven, was happy when Summer would tell her how I was doing? Does that mean my mom actually cares about me, and if so, why'd she leave?" Yang asked, choking up. Azure could see tears gathering at the edges of her eyes, it didn't fit her usual aloof persona.

"Hey guys, why don't you leave me with Yang for a minute, there are some things she only she needs to know." Azure requested. Ruby shot a worried look at her sister, but consented, along with everyone else, and they went to RWBY's room. "Yang, Raven wanted so, so much to stay with you, but she couldn't." Azure said soothingly.

"WHY!? Why couldn't she stay!" Yang shouted standing up.

"Because someone was threatening your life if she came near you." Azure said flatly, getting a bit annoyed. Yang's eyes widened.

"But, she could've just told dad! Dad would've-" Yang started.

"Yang." Azure said in monotone, starting to get pissed.

"Done anything he could, and more, if she told him then-" Yang kept going, but was cut off this time.

"YANG!" Azure shouted. "The one threatening you was your father." Azure said.

"What! But, that's stupid, you're lying!" Yang shouted, her eyes red, just like her mother's.

"Yang, I know you won't believe anything I say, so I'll just show you his sins against Summer, so you'll actually realise that what I have to tell you is the truth." Azure said. Yang calmed down a bit and nodded. "Hold out your hand, and channel your Aura and semblance into it." She did as he said and looked to him. "I'm lucky we're related or this wouldn't work." Azure said as he took her hand and did the same as her, focusing on the sins of one Taiyang Xiao-Long.

[]5 Minutes Later[]

Yang collapsed to the ground with wide eyes and vomited, then broke down in sobs. Azure took a few deep breath to calm himself, then knelt next to Yang and started rubbing her back. She latched onto him cried into his shoulder. Ruby peeked in the room, but seeing as her sister wasn't physically harmed, she nodded to Azure and left.

"H-How could he… Why would he?!" Yang sobbed.

"Because he thought it was a right entitled to him, it was basically the same with Raven, but he had to drug her." Azure said sadly. Yang just cried harder.

"And, they still loved us." Yang's cries subsided a bit, and she looked into Azure's eyes. "This is the thing that pulled you two closer. She told you after you asked her about it didn't you?" Azure nodded and just gave Yang a tight hug, which she returned. "Thank you, for being there for her, and for mom." Yang said.

"Yang, I know this messed you up, but do you think a day out on the town will cheer you up a bit?" Azure said with a small smile.

"Maybe a bit." Yang said with a smile. "You're paying for everything though." She added as she stood up.

"Aww, what the fuck!" Azure groaned.

[]With the Others, Five minutes earlier[]

"Sooo, how are you guys liking Beacon so far?" Ruby asked the part of team AKNO that was not talking with her sister

Nero lets out a small hum as Oren nods "There seems to be no challenging aspect to any portion of the academic nor practicality lessons, or at least it seems so by the curriculum shown in the textbooks." Oren lets Nero pick up where she left off. "The students here also possess a low combat class as well with an average of a C-." The two listed reasons before pausing and looking at each other as they both speak. "Beacon is tolerable."

"You two are pretty critical arent'cha?" Kat said as she crossed her arms.

The two just roll their eyes and sigh before going back to the scroll that Oren was working on. Blake looked up at them from her book while Weiss looked them over with a calculating gaze, Kat just gave a huff and sat on the closest bed, which was Weiss's, who didn't notice, as she was still trying to get a read on the strange duo.

"I'll be right back." Ruby said after she perked up a bit. She came back a moment later looking concerned.

"Is everyone just going to ignore the elephant in the room?" Blake asked, slamming down her book. "We just found out that magic is real, four women are out there with the power to bring down nations on their own, and our leader is some sort of super warrior who can kill Grimm by looking at them!" She sighed heavily. "It's just, so much just happened, but no one's saying anything!"

"What he said can't be real, it's just not possible. That dirty animal is just trying to make us all look like fools!" She said scathingly. All of a sudden a large gash opened up on her right arm, under her sleeve, staining it red, and causing her to cry out and clutch it tightly.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you about the reaction. I get internally pissed really easy, and I hate racism, so put insulting me and being racist together, and my soul just reacts. But you must be very racist to get a wound that bad from a single sentence." Azure said he walked in with a puffy-eyed Yang.

"How dare you! I am-" Weiss started to shout, tears at the edge of her eyes, but she was interrupted.

"Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Racist Dust Company, I don't give a fuck, and I never will. So screw off, and shut up." Azure said nonchalantly, then he gained a cheerful expression. "Ok all! We're going to go to town and spend some time together, and bond as teammates and as sibling teams. We may spend too much money, or we may get too drunk, but, we. Will. Have. FUN!" Azure cheered. Almost everyone else couldn't help but cheer with him. The exceptions were Blake, Weiss, Nero, and Oren. Blake just smiled, Weiss glared at him, then Nero and Oren only looked up from their scroll to him then continued doing whatever it was on the scroll.

"Ruby only gets milk, or non-alcoholic drinks." Yang said. Ruby just shrugged, as she wasn't planning on getting anything else anyway.

"So does that mean I can finally get my real weapon and stop using this?" Nero says while waving his glove around before Oren grabs it from him and puts it on while talking, "Why didn't you get it finished sooner?" Focus was on Nero as he continued on. "There were some complications..."

[]45 Minutes Later, Club/Bar in Vale[]

The group of twelve, Azure had insisted that they bring JNPR, walked into a bar on the edges of Vale close to Beacon, it was only about a block from the landing for bullheads. Yang looked visibly cheered, Blake had a small smile, Ruby looked a tad nervous but also excited, and Weiss's face was blank. Weiss also had a bandage covering her entire right arm.

Team JNPR looked to be generally excited as well, with Jaune looking nervous and excited, more on the nervous side, Pyrrha being cautious, but also clearly showing excitement, Nora looking like she had eaten a pound of sugar, which she might've, and Ren with a smile similar to Blake's.

Azure and Kat walked in last, as Nero and Oren had gone to pick something up and said they'd meet them there later. Azure had a wide, mischievous grin on his face, and Kat looked positively ecstatic to be there.

Ruby was wearing a red and black checkered button up shirt, with Jean shorts and red and white high top sneakers, as well as her usual red cloak, and a deep red leather belt with her symbol as a silver belt buckle.

Weiss was wearing a semi-casual blue and white corset skirt combo not unlike her battle attire., And heels of the same color, and her family crest on the skirt in black.

Yang was wearing a yellow t-shirt with her symbol over her right breast, and an orange hoodie that only went down to right under her breasts, with light orange capris, and black and yellow flat shoes.

Blake was wearing a black and purple flannel shirt, Jean capris and purple and black sneakers, with silver bangles all over her right forearm, one of which had her symbol on it.

Jaune was wearing a black short sleeve shirt, with a white, open, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled to to his forearms and his symbol on his back, and a nice pair of blue jeans and brown leather boots.

Nora had on a pink shirt under a black hoodie that had lighting designs flowing all over it in pink, which gathered on the back circled her symbol in the same color, with a few green beads tied into yet hair, as well as black leggings with a black skirt over, and pink shoes.

Pyrrha was wearing a white shirt with some sort of red and gold flower designs on it, with a maroon hoodie with her symbol on the back, a skirt of the same color with gold designs of the same color, and black leggings, with red and white sneakers.

Ren was wearing a simple black t-shirt with his symbol on the shoulder in green and pink, and a cord bracelet on his left wrist, a black digital watch on the right. He also had on ripped black jeans, and black high top sneakers.

Kat was wearing a tan blouse with a bangle on her left hand that had a sun shaped marking that had wings around it, somehow floating there. She had purple jeans with black sneakers.

Azure was wearing a blue shirt with his symbol on the back in grey-silver, and some black jeans with blue sneakers, and a silver band that wrapped around his left forearm multiple times, and a black watch on his right hand.

"Heey! If it isn't the Neon Ninny!" Azure called to the bartender. She had dark pink hair, a pair of black plug earrings, a white shirt with a pink skull wearing shades and putting a finger to its lips, covered by a worn green coat with pink patterns on the back and sides, with the sleeves slightly tucked up, along with a wristband. She also had dark red shorts over black ripped tight leggings and dark lavender pink boots that they could only see because she was walking back towards the little gate that led into and out of the inner part of the bar.

"No one uses the word ninny anymore." The pink haired woman laughed.

"Are you saying I'm no one, Laser Girl?" Azure asked, feigning a hurt tone. She chuckled and swatted him on the back of the head.

"No, but you are annoying." She said.

"Is Del here or do you think he fell asleep in the back of his shop again?" Azure asked.

"Nah, he's here, washing glasses in the back. But what're you doin' here, pipsqueak?" She asked.

"Well, I got into Beacon, and so I decided to take my new friends to celebrate, and take advantage of the rule that Qrow got made." Azure said as he ruffled her hair, gaining an annoyed look from her. She pointed her finger at his arm, and a pink energy beam hit his arm.

"Just remember what I taught you." She said. "Don't get so drunk you do something stupid." She and he said at the same time.

"But Fetch, it worked out well for you." Azure groaned.

"Me getting drunkenly married to my boyfriend of seven years is completely different to you potentially getting married to some random stranger." Fetch scolded.

"But I didn't get into that situation." Azure pouted.

"But ya did burn down the longhouse!" She growled.

"Fine, you win." Azure sighed.

"Ehem, you gonna introduce us?" Yang asked. Everyone else in the group was looking on with curious stares.

"Oh, yeah. This is Fetch, she might as well be my sister. She owns and runs this bar." Azure said, gesturing to Fetch.

"Hi, name's Yang." Yang put her hand out for a shake, figuring that she best not offend this bartender.

"I've heard of you, you wrecked Junior's bar." Fetch said. Yang had a sheepish expression. "Thanks, gave me a few more customers, and a few less goons trying to harass me." She said with a grin. Yang just smiled. Everyone else introduced themselves before they got to Ruby.

"Hi, I'm Ruby!" She said. Fetch raised her eyebrow at the youngest of the group.

"No offense kid, but you have to either be a hunter-in-training, or over eighteen to be in here." Fetch said. Azure and Yang started giggling, and Ruby glared at the bartender.

"I am a huntress-in-training." She growled. Her aura started manifesting, giving her an intimidating presence. At this point, both Azure and Yang burst out laughing, even Blake had to smile a little.

"S-She's telling the truth Fetch, she got in two years early for almost taking down Torchwick." Azure said, his laughter subsiding.

"Oh, sorry then." Fetch said. "Why don't you all go get seated in the VIP area, just tell me what you want over the intercom in there." Fetch said.

"Ah, we can order more later, but a dozen beers, the good ones, three shots of you know what for everyone, and my signature." Azure said, before dragging the others along behind him. Fetch just shook her head with a mischievous smile.

[]VIP Lounge[]

After everyone got seated in the lounge, Pyrrha looked at Azure with a worried expression.

"Do we have enough money to pay for what you ordered, Azure?" She asked.

"We don't need to, I put enough money into helping her and Del set up their shops that even after this I still have around…" Azure looked down at his scroll to see the credit he had left with Fetch. "Around three hundred thousand lien in credit left. Plus I usually leave a tip that's at least ninety-five percent of the cost every time I come, so they don't lose much money." The others nodded, and Yang gave him a playful look.

"So, what's you know what?" Yang asked with a grin.

"You'll have to wait and see." He said, a fox-like smile spread across his face.

"So, who wants to play truth or dare?" Azure asked.

[]With Nero and Oren, Permafrost Armory[]

"I believe I had told you to come alone."

"General Ironwood, I am alone, as much as I can be atleast. You didn't….lie to me did you? I'd hate to think I'd need Ozpin involved, Unless you want him involved then be my guest." Nero confidently spoke as Oren remained to the side, silent in the middle of soldiers pointing their guns at her as she looked at various weapons amongst the room.

"...No, Bring out his weapon. Now!" The General yelled to the soldiers that weren't guarding Oren or aiming at Nero. Never breaking eye contact with the boy as the soldiers brought a giant metal case in between the two as they set it down and opened it before stepping out of the the way, the General stared as the boy walked casually over to the case and pulled out a long black and white spear and smile at it then the General.

Nero twirled the spear a few times and tossed it into the air, not even watching it disappear as he walked towards the taller man. "Thanks, James." He spoke softly as he ran a finger down his chest and began to whisper, "You're a real lifesaver, I owe you one." Bouncing back, Nero smiles at him and laughs, turning around and walking out "C'mon, Oren. Let's get back to the leader."

Scotus: Hey there, it's us again. Finally back at it again with the white vans. Ow! Shit. I just felt the punch from everyone who ever heard that joke.

Hearts: I can't control his action and take zero responsibility for them as well.

Scotus: Oi oi! Don't act like i'm some sort of… of… Embarrassment! Anyway, here's the new chapter, and the first fight showing any of the more mystical powers. If y'all have any questions just PM me or write up a review. Hearts may be open to it as well, I don't know how his account is set up.

Hearts: Me either tbh.

Scotus: God fucking dammit man!

Hearts: Anyway, Leave some reviews or whatever.
