The Badge and The Burden

Y/N POV

I wake up at 4 in the morning, so does Isabelle, she wakes up with a yawn and her spider plushie still in her arms.

Isabelle: Morning Y/N...

She says still practically asleep.

Y/N: Morning to you too. Say, this room is a little small for all of our stuff but I have a fix for that.

Isabelle: Really? What?

Y/N: Help me get our stuff and Raviera and Amara out of the room.

We do just that. All of our luggage is now outside the dorm room and I carry Amara outside and Isabelle caries Raviera with a big blush on her face.

Y/N: Now wait there!

I go inside the room and close the door. I create a portal in front of the door. I step inside and the dimension is empty. I decide to turn it into a bigger version of our dorm room, big enough for all four of us, our luggage and some more stuff later if we want. I step outside the door which now doubles as the gate to the new dimension.

Y/N: Done! Now step inside my arachnid friend.

Isabelle enters and I teleport all of our stuff and __AR inside. We set it all up and the room is really well decorated and all our stuff fit. Isabelle got rid of her bed since she prefers sleeping on her webs like a hammock. Raviera and Amara wake up.

Amara: Wow, I don't remember the dorm being that big!

Y/N: That's because this isn't our dorm. Well sort of.

I explain what I did.

Amara: That's so AWESOME!

Raviera: It is efficient.

We get dressed, brush our teeth and then go to class,'we arrive when it's just 7:00. We see Professor Port writing some stuff. He turns around when he hears us enter.

Port: Ah! If it isn't Team (First letter of your name)IAR! Please have a seat!

We do so, I'm sitting next to Amara who's next to Isabelle who's next to Raviera. When it's 9:00, Team RWBY and JNPR burst inside, making us and the other students look at them.

Ruby: We made it!

RWBY sits in front of us and of course Ruby sits in front of me.

Third Person POV

Port: Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!

The members of RWBY and _IAR (I'll start doing this from now on instead of  (First letter of nour name)IAR) on the front row, are in varying stages of interest; Blake, Yang, Amara and Y/N are sitting up and paying attention, Weiss and Raviera are taking notes, and Ruby has her head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result.

Port: Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses...

He gives Yang a wink, which she groans uncomfortably at.

Port: Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!

Student: Ayyyy-yep!

He stands with his fist raised in the air for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed.

Port: That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy...

His words fade into the background and a series of "blah"s when Weiss notices Ruby is very focused on penciling the paper in front of her.

Port: ...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me...

The speech evolves into more "blah"s as Ruby snickers at her creation and shows it to her teammates: A general ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Blake and Yang are heard laughing, Y/N chuckles at Ruby's childish behavior, but Weiss looks annoyed.

Port: Ah-heh-hem! In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!

The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's antics.

Port: The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!

Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face.

Port: A true Huntsman must be dependable!

Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year.

Port: A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!

Ruby is not-so-subtly picking her nose, much to Weiss' building anger.

Port: So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?

Weiss: I do, sir!

Isabelle: Me too!

Y/N: Me three!

Raviera: Me four!

Port: Well, then, let's find out! Hmmm Isabelle! You first!

He turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it

Port: Step forward, and face your opponent!

Isabelle gets out of her seat and steps forward. Her hand glows purple. Port unleashes a Boarbatusk at her. Isabelle raises her hand and summons a giant spider that bursts out of the ground with a screeching roar. It devours the grimm in one bite. Isabelle pets the spider on the head and makes it dissapear.

Amara: What was that Y/N?!?

Y/N: Her semblance. She calls it Spider Dance. She's able to summon spiders of any size and made of anything. She can also manipulate them to do whatever she desires.

Port: Hohohoho! You really are capable Ms.Arachne! Now, we only have one left so Ms.Schnee! Step forward!

He grabs another cage as Weiss approaches. She readies her rapier at the growling grimm in the cage. Her teammates cheer her on from their seats in the front row.

Yang: Goooo, Weiss!

Blake: Fight well!

Ruby: Yeah, represent teeeeam RWBY!

Weiss: Ruby! I'm trying to focus!

Ruby: Oh, um... Sorry...

Port: Allllright! Let the match... begin!

The professor swings down and breaks the lock, dropping the cage door and revealing the Boarbatusk inside, which immediately charges at Weiss. She uses Myrtenaster to deflect its attack and roll to the side, readying herself for its next move. The Grimm stands a distance away from its enemy, studying her.

Port: Ha-ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?

Ruby: Hang in there, Weiss!

Weiss is now speeding towards the oncoming Boarbatusk, sticking her blade straight at its skull until they meet and Myrtenaster is trapped in the beast's tusks. Weiss is still hanging on to the hilt, and is tossed around as she struggles to get the rapier back.

Port: Bold, new approach. I like it!

Ruby: Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!

Weiss turns to glare at Ruby, only for the Boarbatusk to turn its head and rip the sword from her grip. Myrtenaster lands far away from its master, who is knocked back by the creature's tusks.

Port: Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?

Weiss looks up just in time to see the Boarbatusk to charge again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid getting trampled and make it crash into a desk. Weiss rushes at her sword and slides to get it back in her hand.

Ruby: Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-

Weiss: Stop telling me what to do!

Ruby looks hurt at Weiss' rebuttal. Y/N glares at Weiss and growls in anger. Meanwhile, the Boarbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air and landing on the ground, consistently gaining speed until it launches itself at Weiss. It comes closer and closer, but Weiss activates one of her blue-white circles and blocks the roll, leaping up into the now-black snowflake symbol and turning it blue again so she can drive the blade into the Boarbatusk's stomach. It squeals and falls silent while Weiss gasps in relief.

Port: Bravo! Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of true Huntresses-in-training!

As Weiss stands up at attention from her exhausted position and Ruby continues to frown

Port: I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!

Weiss glares and turns away, walking hurriedly to the exit past her teammates.

Jaune: Sheesh, what's with her?"

The remaining members of team RWBY look at each other with the same question.

Weiss is still storming off, but Ruby turns a corner and manages to catch up with her.

Ruby: Weiss!

Weiss: What?

Ruby: What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?

Weiss: What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be a leader, and all you've been so far is a nuisance!

Ruby: What did I do?

Weiss: That's just it - you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!

Ruby: Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team.

Weiss: Not a team led by you. I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better. Ozpin made a mistake.

Weiss storms off while Y/N walks up to Ruby and stands next to hee. He looks like he's about to shove Muramasa down Weiss' throat.

Y/N: Now that didn't seem to go very well.

Ruby: Is she right? Did he make a mistake?

Y/N: Trust me. He didn't.

Ruby: What do you mean?

Y/N: I mean, it's only been one day. Ruby... I've seen more mistakes being made than any man, woman, and child on this damn planet. But at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them. Do you?

Ruby: I don't know!

Y/N: Alright. Let me ask you this. Who wanted to be friends with her partner, while her partner was a cold bitch to her?

Ruby: I did...

Y/N: Who charged into battle against a Deathstalker, knowing the danger but still doing it because she wanted to protect her friends?

Ruby: I did.

Y/N: Who came up with the plan to kill the giant Nevermore at Beacon Cliff?

Ruby: I DID!

Y/N: There's the Ruby I know! Now remember this, Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?

Ruby: None...

Y/N: Exactly. Now, I'll be going. Me and my team were going to play some board games.

Y/N walks off.

Ruby: WAIT!

Y/N turns around.

Y/N: Yes?

Ruby: Why do you...Care so much about me?

Y/N: You reminded me of somebody I used to know back when I was a little kid. Plus, I see potential in you as well as a kind soul. I hope we can continue to be friends.

Ruby: We'll definetly stay friends! And probably become even more than that!

Y/N: Well, I'll be seeing you later Ruby!

He walks off, unknowingly to the both of them, Ozpin was behind a wall. Smiling.

Ozpin: You sure have grown up into a great leader and person...Son.

(SCENE CHANGE)

Weiss is still walking around the halls until she comes across a balcony where Amara is watching the sunset over Beacon Academy's rooftops.

Weiss: Amara?

Amara: Ah, Weiss! Good to see you!

Weiss: Why are you here?

Amara: Watching the sunset. Actually, I also wanted to talk to you and I knew you would be here because I read the script.

Weiss: What?

Amara: Nothing! So what's wrong?

Weiss: Well... I-I think I should have been the leader of team RWBY!

Amara: ...That's insane!

Weiss: Excuse me?! So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?

Amara:'With all respect Weiss, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is dragged down by your poor attitude.

Weiss: How dare you!

Amara: That's just what I am talking about!. I see a girl in front of me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted!

Weiss: That's not even remotely true!

Amara gives her an "are you serious?" Look.

Weiss: Well... not entirely true.

Amara: So the outcome did not go your way. Do you really believe that acting like a spoiled brat who got a red ferrari instead of a black one would cause those in power to reconsider their choice?

Weiss: I...I don't...

Amara: There you go Weiss! Now, go to Ruby and make things right with her, or else your whole team will fall apart.

Weiss suddenly hugs Amara.

Weiss: Thanks Amara! You're the best!

Amara hugs back before they let go and Amara walks to her room.
