TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CITY OF VALE, THIRD PERSON'S POV

It was a quiet day in the city of Vale, and in the city a little shop called From Dust Till Dawn was having it's re-opening, the old man that ran most of the businesses in Vale was on a ladder hanging up the sign for the re-opening, after hanging the sign he started to climb down the ladder but was knocked to the ground by someone bumping into him.

He looked up to see a dark skinned girl with mind green hair and red eyes looking down at him, she was wearing a unusual white top with a cropped olive coloured undershirt, she also wore a pair of white pants that were covered by brown chaps that reached her calves and a pair of heeled boots.

"Excuse me! Sorry!" Emerald said as the old man smiled back up at her.

"I'm not really from around here" she said as she offered him her hand, which he accepted and she managed to quickly pull him back up onto his feet.

"Um, would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" Emerald asked as she showed the old man the address of a shop, the old man nodded his head and pointed down the street.

"Thank you!" the girl said as she waved good bye to the old man, she walked away down the street past an alley way where her partner in crime was impatiently waiting for her.

"I knew you were lost" said a boy with grey hair as the girl walked past, he was wearing a grey and black jacket with armour covering his arms and black pants.

"Mercury! I will seriously pay you to shut up" Emerald said to Mercury while waving a wallet in his face.

"That's not your money" Mercury said as he shook his head at the girl.

"But it could be yours for five minutes of silence" the girl said as she moved the wallet closer to the grey haired boy.

"Mmm... No deal" Mercury said as he shook his head again, making the mint haired girl annoyed.

"Hmph. Fine" she said as she took the money and threw the now empty wallet to the ground, then she walked away from the boy quickly.

"Whatever, you want me" Mercury said with a chuckle as he pushed himself off of the wall to follow after the girl, as they walked people around them were enjoying their day as usual.

"So how much farther?" Mercury asked impatiently.

"A few blocks" Emerald replied as they kept on walking.

"Uhh, this place is so dull" Mercury complained in a bored voice.

"I kinda like it, tall buildings, diverse culture" Emerald said as she and Mercury walked side by side down the street.

"And nice dopey people who are very easy to pickpocket" Mercury said.

"That's every city" Emerald said as she stopped walking and stood still with her hands on her hips.

"Oh Emerald! Master Thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!" Mercury said in a mocking voice, Emerald narrowed her eyes at the grey haired boy as she growled in annoyance before walking away.

"You're no fun today" Mercury said as he followed after her, they reached the shop they were looking for, a book shop called Tuckson's Book Trade, Mercury stopped to look at the books while Emerald went to the desk and rang the bell to get the shop owner's attention.

"Be right there" the store owner called out from the back of the store, a few seconds later a man walked out of the store room holding two large stacks of books in his arms.

"Welcome to Tuckson's Book Trade! Home to every book under the sun" Tuckson said as he set down the two large stacks of books.

"How may- uh..." his cheerful greeting was cut short when he got a good look at who it was that had walked into his shop, Emerald let a cheerful smile come to her face at the look on his face.

"How may I help you?" Tuckson asked, trying to stay calm.

"Just browsin'" Mercury said as he slammed a book shut.

"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of The Thief and the Butcher?" Emerald asked as she leaned her arms on the counter between herself and Tuckson.

"Yes we do" Tuckson said.

"That's great" Emerald said.

"Would you like a copy?" Tuckson asked.

"No. Just wondering" Emerald said, as she said this Mercury loudly closed a book he was holding.

"Oh! Oh! What about Violet's Garden, in paperback?" Emerald asked.

"He's got it. hardback too" Mercury said as he picked up a copy of the book.

"Ooh, options are nice" Emerald said as she touched her chin with her finger.

"Ehh, no pictures" Mercury complained before slamming the book shut and dropping it.

"Hey, do you have any comics?" the teenager asked.

"Near the front" Tuckson said, he was starting to get annoyed with the two kids in his store, he wanted to deal with them and have the leave as quick as possible.

"Oh! No wait. What about Third Crusade?" Emerald asked, her voice suddenly turning very serious, making the store owner get nervous.

"Umm... I... don't believe we carry that one" Tuckson said, Mercury slammed another book closed loudly, the sound echoing in the quiet room.

"What was this place called again?" Emerald asked.

"Tuckson's Book Trade" Tuckson said in a tense voice.

"And... you're Tuckson?" Emerald asked.

"That's right" Tuckson replied.

"So then I take it that you're the one who came up with the catchphrase?" Emerald asked.

"Yes" Tuckson said.

"And what was it again?" Mercury asked, Tuckson sighed trying to calm himself down.

"Tuckson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun" Tuckson said.

"Except the Third Crusade" Mercury said in a pointed way.

"It's just a catchphrase" Tuckson said.

"It's false advertising" Mercury snapped at the store owner.

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tuckson" Emerald said in a serious voice.

"I hear you're planning on leaving" Emerald said, as Mercury tinted the windows to the store until they were fully darkened, not letting anyone see inside.

"Moving all the way to Vacuo, your brothers in the White Fang wouldn't be happy to hear that, and neither are we" Emerald said as Mercury finished tinting all the windows in the store.

"You know who we are don't you?" Emerald asked, as a cruel smirk came to her lips.

"Yes" Tuckson said, at this point he knew he was in trouble.

"And you know why we're here?" Emerald asked, the smirk not leaving her face.

"Yes" Tuckson replied, at this point Mercury walked towards the desk and stopped close to Emerald.

"So. Are you going to fight back?" she asked once again, it was silent for a few seconds as they waited for Tuckson's answer.

"Yes!" Tuckson said before he unsheathed his claws and jumped onto the counter, he then jumped at Emerald and slashed at her with his claws but she suddenly vanished! Tuckson'e eyes widened in surprise before Mercury raised his left leg and shot him in the head with his shotgun that was hidden within his pant leg.

After they had killed Tuckson, Emerald and Mercury exited the book store, Emerald stretched her arms out above her head as she walked out, while Mercury was looking at a comic he had picked up while in the store.
"What's with that?" Emerald asked as they started to walk away.

"Eh, I like the pictures" Mercury said, not taking his eyes off the comic book.

"Well, you two seem to be having some fun..." came a voice from close by, the two teenagers quickly got into a combat stance in case it was a huntsman or the police, however they backed down when they saw Zack Marek walk out of the alley way with a smile on his face.

"Zack, what are you doing here?" Emerald asked as she stopped in front of the Sith, she was wary of him and the other Sith, after the failed Dust robbery two weeks ago they killed the White Fang members that managed to escape for their failure only sparing Roman Torchwick because apparently his usefulness outweighed his failures so far.

"I was bored, and looking to kill some time, or people..." Zack said in a dark tone of voice, Emerald got slightly nervous about that.

"Heh, looking for a fight Zack? How about we go a few rounds?" Mercury said in a cocky voice, he didn't believe that the Sith were as powerful as they claimed, even though Cinder had agreed to let them work with them he doubted they were any good.

"Yeah, if I wanted to fight a robot I'd just attack an Atlas shipment, so no thanks tin man" Zack said in a mocking voice, Mercury growled angrily as Emerald held him back.

"Aww, what's the matter, you lose your balls as well as your legs?" Zack said as he turned and walked away, Mercury yelled and pushed Emerald aside before jumping towards Zack intending to kick his head off, suddenly he was just hanging in mid air choking on air, Mercury started to claw at his throat looking for a rope or wire but started to panic when he couldn't find what was strangling him.

Emerald looked over and saw Zack making a clutching motion with his hand, a cruel smile on his face as he moved closer to the scared boy, Zack got right up into his face which was starting to turn blue from asphyxiation.

"Your too weak to beat me" Zack said before he released his Force Choke and let Mercury fall to the floor, choking and gasping for breath as Emerald watched on, eyeing Zack carefully in case he tried to kill either of them before he walked away with a satisfied smile on his face.

"What the hell kind of people do we have working with us?" Emerald asked herself as she knelt down next to Mercury, making sure he would be okay before they got up and went to find the hideout.

BEACON ACADEMY, IN (Y/N)'S ROOM, ???'S POV

I was sat down beside (Y/N) with my eyes closed, it was the end of a two week break from classes, I had spent most of that time practising Sith teachings with (Y/N) but also hanging out with my friends in Vale, as well as him spending time with the others too, right now we were meditating in his room with me trying to channel my emotions for power but it was difficult to focus because I was getting kind of hungry, it had been two weeks since I became (Y/N)'s Apprentice and it had been a hard road, I had been practising hand-to-hand combat with him in what he called the Echani ways.

At first it was really embarrassing since we both fought in just our underwear, his reasoning for it was that it allowed for more freedom of movement, I did as he asked and stripped down to my bra and panties and we sparred, he told me the way the Echani fight is by watching their opponents and predicting their movements, by watching their body language or their eyes, however Force Sensitives could also use the Force to read their bodies and act accordingly.

I did my best and there were a lot of times I ended up in my bed covered in bruises with my Aura drained from healing my wounds, but I was eventually starting to get the hang of it and actually started to predict his movements, he had told me we would be moving onto the second tier of Combat during the next sparring match, meaning we would use weapons but not lightsabers since he doesn't want me to lose an arm or anything.

I tried to follow (Y/N)'s example and just focus on my training, however my stomach decided to betray me and growled loudly.

I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment, I opened one eye and saw (Y/N) was still concentrating on his meditations, I wonder how he does it?

{Years of practice, Apprentice} I yelped in surprise and jumped out of my sitting position, I forgot about that whole Force Bond thing...

"Sorry Master, I guess I forgot about-" my stomach growled again this time even louder, I quickly punched myself in the stomach, hoping to shut it up before I died of embarrassment, but I only succeeded in winding myself and giving myself a tummy ache.

"I suppose you should get yourself some food, before your stomach eats itself" (Y/N) said, I got embarrassed and hit him in the arm before I stood up, but my legs had fallen asleep and I fell back down closing my eyes as I braced myself trying not to hit my face on the floor, I felt myself land on something firm yet not solid I opened my eyes and saw I had fallen on top of (Y/N), my face was inches away from his and he had a cocky smirk on his face.

"Oh? Hungry for something else are we? Well I think I can help with that" he said as I felt his arms encircle my waist, his hands resting on my hips as he pulled me tight against his body, I wasn't able to say anything before his lips were on mine giving me a passionate kiss, I kissed him back as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself deeper I felt his tongue slide across my bottom lip asking to be let in, however I was so caught up in what was happening that I didn't answer right away.

So he bit my bottom lip lightly making me gasp before his tongue went into my mouth, exploring everything and dominating my own tongue, I was starting to feel my self control slip away as I felt my body start to get warmer, I felt one of his hands move up and into my hood taking running through my long hair before we separated for air.

I just stayed on top of him, panting for breath as my face burned bright red, him below me also trying to catch his breath, but his own face wasn't as red as my own, I saw him smiling up at me and the warmth on my face went even hotter.

"You know..." he said as he sat up, with me straddling his waist as his arms remained around my hips.

"I'm starting to like this new you, I guess your new found power has also given you more confidence, hasn't it... Velvet" he said as I felt his hand leave my hip and remove my hood, my long brown hair fell down my back over the folded hood as my ears unfurled and stood up straight.

"Ii's quite a change from the shy girl that followed me around in the shadows" (Y/N) said, I blushed and nodded my head as I wrapped my arms around his neck, it was kind of embarrassing that he was aware of me following him but I had to admit the power I felt that first time I felt the Force was amazing, now that I knew I could potentially use such amazing powers I felt renewed, I leaned in to reconnect our lips when my stomach growled again!

"To be continued?" he asked as he pulled back and brushed some of my hair behind my ear.

"O-Okay... let's go get some food" I said as I stood up, my legs were still numb with pins and needles running through my legs, I stumbled a little as feeling returned to my legs, I pulled my hood back up and we left the room together, we started to walk towards the Cafeteria when a question came to my mind.

"Master, I wanted to ask you something..." I said as we kept on walking.

"Yes Apprentice?" he said as he glanced at me from under his hood.

"When will I get a lightsaber like you?" I asked hopefully, I don't know if i'd ever be able to use a lightsaber but it would be good to have in case I needed it.

"You'll get it once you have proven yourself worthy of wielding one, a lightsaber is a symbol of a Sith's authority and power, once you've gained the power to claim one then you may possess one" (Y/N) replied, I couldn't believe it, so if I kept going I'd also get a lightsaber like (Y/N)'s?

"A-And how will you know if I'm ready?" I asked, I felt self-doubt creeping up on me because I had thoughts that he was just doing this out of pity, it seemed like it would be a while before I fully change myself...

"When you pass the final level of our combat tests, then we will have our final match, your final test before you can claim a lightsaber for yourself" (Y/N) said, I couldn't believe it, now I was really looking forward to training again, but I could think about that later, right now I need to get myself some food.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, AT THE CAFETERIA, THIRD PERSON'S POV.

In the cafeteria Blake, Yang and Weiss were sat down eating their lunch, Blake was looking through an old book she had been writing in as well as doodling in, on one page was the symbol of the White Fang with a picture of a man with spiked hair and a katana on his back, facing away from them, below that was a drawing of a rose, Blake's eyes showed sadness as she gazed at the picture of the man in the book.

"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked as she leaned in towards Blake, startling her slightly.

"Nothing. Just, going over notes from last semester" Blake said as she quickly shut her book, she may have been comfortable sharing her past with them, but she did not want to reopen an old wound...

Suddenly Yang caught a grape that was tossed towards her in her mouth, and she ate it happily.

"Lame!" Yang said before she looked back towards a table opposite them, sitting at that table was team JNPR with Nora using a spoon to launch grapes towards Yang, she caught another grape giving a thumbs up as she chewed it, then she and the others were startled when something landed on the lunch room table with a heavy thud.

The 'something' in questing was an overstuffed binder, with the words VYTAL FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES PROPERTY OF WEISS SCHNEE crossed out and instead BEST DAY EVER ACTIVITIES was written on the bottom half in larg red words, standing at the end of the table was none other than their fearless leader Ruby Rose.

"Ahem. Sisters! Friends! Weiss..." Ruby said.

"Hey!" Weiss exclaimed in annoyance.

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream" Ruby said happily, as if she had the best idea ever.

"This ought to be good" Yang said before she caught another piece of food Nora had launched at her, this time a big red berry.

"A dream that one day, the four of us would come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly, Yang seemed interested in what Ruby had planned, while Blake and Weiss didn't seem to eager to be a part of her plans.

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss accused, it was obvious Ruby had done it from how poorly the old words had been crossed out.

"I am not a crook" Ruby said as she made the peace sign with both of her hands.

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked as she looked to her younger leader.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby said as she pointed at Blake.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!" Yang said with a cheesy grin on her face at her wit.

"Ehh!? Guys? Am I right?" Yang asked while Weiss sighed in exasperation resting her hand on her cheek, Ruby's shoulders slumped as she shook her head and Blake just sat still looking lost, suddenly an apple flew towards the table and hit yang in the head while Nora booed at her for her joke, making the blonde haired girl growl at the attack.

Nearby to the four girls a certain Sith and his new Apprentice sat at a table alone eating their food, Velvet had her hood covering her head since her shyness while dialled down was still there, she was enjoying a slice of carrot cake she had gotten from the kitchen and was feeling happy, (Y/N) chuckled at Yang's pun before taking a big bite out of a chicken leg and watching to see what will happen next.

"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks, and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow" Ruby said as she explained what she was planning.

"Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today" Ruby said happily.

"Do any of those 'events' involve (Y/N), or his mysterious friend?" Yang asked as she looked over at her crush and the person sitting with him, ever since that night Yang came back she had gotten curious about who it was under that hood, she and Ruby had tried to find out who it is, by either following after them during training or their time in Vale, but they always managed to avoid getting caught and it was starting to frustrate Yang, unknown to the blonde brawler Pyrrha was also looking at the robed stranger wondering who it could be.

While she had apologised to (Y/N) and they started to hang out again, he even restarted their little thing with the flirting and the stolen kisses in private or public, and while she wasn't too worried she was still curious.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store" Weiss said, as she said this Yang quickly stood up and threw an apple back at Nora, missing her and hitting a random student and making Nora laugh.

"I don't know, I think I might sit this one out" Blake said in an unsure voice, truthfully ever since she had seen this thing with Roman Torchwick she hadn't wanted to be distracted and kept her ears out for anything about that, however her gaze eventually rested on (Y/N) and his mysterious new Apprentice, in truth she knew who it was and feared that under (Y/N)'s influence she could end up becoming yet another monster, several times she had reached out to her or tried to talk to her only to be dismissed or ignored, while she admits they aren't close she felt that since it was a faunus she had to be the one to talk her out of this path she was going to walk.

"Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team" Weiss said as she looked at Blake.

"I got it!" Nora called out as she picked up a pie and pulled her arm back to throw it at Yang, who was shaking her hands at the hyperactive ginger trying to stop her, (Y/N) tapped Velvet on the shoulder making her turn around her face still shadowed by the hood, he pointed at the two tables and Velvet watched the exchange with interest and a little worry.

"I for one think that-" Weiss said before she was hit full in the face with the cream pie Nora threw, this startled the other three girls, Ruby ducked down slightly as she, Yang and Blake looked at team JNPR's table, the pie fell off of Weiss's face leaving it covered in white cream, with only her icy blue eyes showing.

Meanwhile at team JNPR's table Nora quickly sat down, before pointing at Ren as if to say he had thrown the pie, Ren himself was holding his hand over his face in annoyance, Pyrrha had been broken from her thoughts on (Y/N)'s new Apprentice and held a hand over her open mouth, trying her bets to not laugh, and Jaune just looked wide eyed at what had just happened.

"This is about to get interesting Apprentice, I suggest you get ready" (Y/N) said as he carefully got ready to move.

"Ready for what?" Velvet asked from under her hood.

"FOOD FIGHT!" came a loud yell as suddenly food started flying everywhere, Velvet quickly ducked under the table while (Y/N) simply deflected the flying food with the Force, he looked down and saw Velvet hiding and grew an annoyed expression before pulling her up onto her feet, dodging a doughnut that nearly hit him in the head.

"Avoiding a fight is not the way to overcome it, that is the path to stagnation... stand up and face your challenges" (Y/N) said as he picked up a handful of mashed potatoes and threw them, hitting a random student in the face and knocking them down from the force of the hit.

"Think of this as training, if you don't want to be hit by the food, just avoid it, or better yet throw it back!" (Y/N) said as he put his arm out catching a full plate of food that was thrown at him and Velvet before using Force Push to throw it back, Velvet was intrigued at this and started to focus her emotions, when a chicken was flying towards her she closed her eyes and extended her hands, when she wasn't hit by anything she cracked an eyes open to see she had caught the chicken with the Force!

(I-I did it!) she thought to herself before she let it go, the chicken dropped to the floor as she smiled at her accomplishment, suddenly there was a loud yell and she turned around to see Jaune come flying at her!

"D-Did someone throw him instead of food?" Velvet asked as she braced herself for the hit, however (Y/N) caught Jaune with the Force before he could crash into her and held him in the air.

"Oh thank Oum, thanks (Y/NNNNNN)" Jaune said as (Y/N) threw him away from them using the Force, Jaune flew through the air before he slammed into a window and slid down it.

"Don't touch my girl Arc" (Y/N) said as he scowled at the direction Jaune flew away at, he they heard a lot of noise and saw team JNPR piling up tables and vending machines as a makeshift fort, they stood on it in various places, while they and team RWBY were exposed.

"Ahahahaha! I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora cheered out from the very top of the pile of tables and vending machines, Pyrrha was on the level below her watching them with her arms crossed over her chest while Ren and Jaune, who had somehow recovered from his flight, stood below them, Ruby stomped her foot onto the table making plates and food jump up as she stood up.

"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" Ruby said as she pointed a trembling finger towards the team that stood on top of the pile of tables, she then crushed a carton of milk in her hand making the milk spray over the floor at her feet.

"It will be delicious!" Ruby yelled as she pumped her fist into the air, her three teammates cheering as they too put their fists into the air.

"Let's watch for now, we'll join in very soon, when we can eliminate both teams and claim victory for ourselves!" (Y/N) said as he clutched his hand making his knuckles crack.

"I-I don't know... I don't want to hurt them like I did with Blake" velvet said, in truth she still felt guilty about slamming Blake into that tree, she was so ashamed she had been trying to avoid her out of fear of being hated, although, her time spent with (Y/N) was slowly dissolving that fear.

"It'll be alright Velvet, don't forget, I'm here with you" (Y/N) said, Velvet blushed at his words before nodding her head to him, and so the two sat back in cover he had built with tables using the Force to watch the fight.

"Off with their heads!" Nora said as she jumped down from the top of the pile of tables and onto the floor, in front of a table with several water melons sitting on top of it.

Ren dashed towards a lunch tray, back flipping over it and stamping on one end making three water melons fly up into the air before he kicked them towards team RWBY, Jaune grabbed one watermelon and threw it as well, Pyrrha threw two more at the four girls while Nora used her strength to flip the table and send a lot more at the team.

"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby ordered, Yang rushed forwards and stuffed her hands into two cooked turkeys before slamming them together like she would with her Ember Celica, she stood ready as the watermelons flew towards her but she stood still and smashed two of them with the turkeys before back flipping to avoid more of them, some of the melons splattered on the floor before Yang dashed forwards smashing more watermelons until Blake jumped over her head and rolled across the floor grabbing a pair of baguettes, Blake broke two more melons before Yang jumped over her head and kicked another one breaking that before she threw the turkey's at Pyrrha, however she dodged them and both turkeys smacked into Jaune knocking him onto the floor.

Pyrrha turned around and slid back to avoid a double jab from Blake's twin baguettes, Pyrrha went for an overhead swing which Blake blocked with her baguettes, the two girls looked into each other's eyes as they each tried to overpower the other.

"Just how old is that bread? There's no way you can eat those if their hard enough to use as weapons..." (Y/N) said under his breath, Velvet shrugged her shoulders as she watched the two girls start a duel with each other, Blake used her Shadow Clone ability to avoid a hit from Pyrrha's baguette before landing behind the red headed girl before trying to counter attack, however Pyrrha skillfully avoided the attack and swung at her again but Blake used her Semblance again to escape the attack, as she was airborne she threw one of her baguettes at Pyrrha but she jumped back letting the bread break on the floor before she lunged forward and jabbed Blake in the stomach with the baguette, breaking it but making Blake drop the one she was using.

Pyrrha grabbed it and threw it like she would with Milo, however Yang punched it breaking the baguette then kicked a second one, but she got hit by a third that followed right after the second knocking Yang down onto the table she was standing on, as Yang slid back Ruby jumped up onto the table and surfed a lunch tray towards Pyrrha, she then jumped into the air and used the same lunch tray to deflect another baguette back at Pyrrha who rolled out of the way as Ruby continued to surf the tray towards her.

Pyrrha stood back up and saw Ruby flying towards her, using both of her feet to bring up the lunch tray, Pyrrha blocked the tray with both of her forearms but was launched backwards by the Ruby kicking away from the tray, Pyrrha fell backwards and rolled onto her stomach as Ren dashed past her to face Ruby along with Nora, however Ruby jumped up allowing Weiss to dash under her and squish a container full of ketchup on the ground making Ren slip over and slide into a pile of tables making the tables, plates and food fly up into the air.

Nora jumped onto the airborne tables using them to get higher, she jumped into the air and broke a metal pole off of the wall before stabbing it into a watermelon making a make-shift hammer, Nora spun around to get momentum as she swung the melon hammer at Weiss only for Ruby to jump in the way taking the impact of the hammer and getting launched back, Weiss looked down and saw a swordfish laying on the ground she bent down and grabbed it before twirling it and using it like her rapier.

Weiss launched herself towards the hyperactive ginger and hit her hard enough to send Nora flying backwards, Nora launched herself towards Weiss and the two fought each other with Nora blocking Weiss's attacks by twirling her make-shift hammer until she saw an opening and delivered a heavy smash to Weiss's body, sending the heiress flying backwards until she slammed into one of the pillars that held up the wall, Ruby saw what had happened and gasped as the pillar started to fall on top of Weiss! She rushed forward and grabbed Weiss in a bridal carry, she looked at her partner with worry as she hung limp in her arms.

"Weiss. Weiss! Don't leave me! Noooooooooooo!" she cried out as the pillar Weiss crashed into hit the floor with a heavy crash and broke into pieces.

"I ship it" Velvet said with a giggle, making (Y/N) look at her confused before he turned back to the fight.

As Ruby was having her moment, Yang dashed back into the fight, jumping over the broken pillar and grabbing the turkey's as she rolled before she rushed to engage one of team JNPR, meanwhile Ren vaulted over a vending machine and grabbed two leeks before rushing to engage Yang, Yang pulled back her turkey while Ren got ready with his leeks, Yang suddenly went for a high kick which Ren blocked with his leeks, Yang gritted her teeth in anger before she started attacking Ren with a series of punches and kicks, before delivering an uppercut to his chin sending him up into the air.

While he was airborne Ren looked down at Yang, before doing an aerial flip and throwing his leeks at the blonde brawler, however she jumped into the air and flew above Ren before punching him into the floor an destroying several tables.

Yang landed and was immediately attacked by Nora, Yang jumped back avoiding Nora's first swing before they both charged each other attacking at the same time, however it was Nora's attack that hit first destroying the melon and sending Yang right through the ceiling!

"Ouch, I hope she's alright..." (Y/N) said as he looked at the large hole in the roof.

"Get ready Velvet, we're going to attack on my mark" (Y/N) said as he reached out his hand and pulled two baguettes towards them, he caught them and gave one to Velvet that was long enough to act like the Vibrodoubleblade she had been using.

After Yang's crash through the roof the rubble fell down to where Blake was stood, she quickly backflipped away from the falling rubble as it crashed onto the floor, as she moved away she grabbed a rope of sausages and used them like a whip to smack Nora back into a vending machine, Nora crashed into the machine making it spill cans of fizzy drink onto the floor as their make-shift fortress crumbled to the ground, Nora wasted no time and started throwing cans of drink at Blake like grenades.

One of the cans exploded in front of Blake making her jump back, she continued to back flip away from the assault as Nora threw more cans at her, however Pyrrha had gotten back up and noticed the cans all around her, she put her hand on the ground and activated her Semblance making the cans levitate above the ground before sending the cans after Blake, as she used her Semblance Velvet felt the echoes in the Force from Pyrrha's attacks, she then felt something similar to what she felt with (Y/N), her eyes widened in realisation as she felt Pyrrha's connection to the Force and it was a strong connection, she wondered why (Y/N) wasn't training her as well but she would wait and ask him later, after the fight was over.

The cans hit Blake with enough force to lift her into the air, her back hit the wall and then she was pelted with a barrage of different canned drinks, Pyrrha felt a sense of satisfaction from that fact she had Blake exactly where she wanted her when suddenly her Force powers lashed out sending Blake flying across the room, Blake flew close to where Ruby was sitting and crashed into a pile of plates.

Suddenly something crashed into the ground close to Pyrrha sending her to the ground, she looked up to see (Y/N) standing before her holding a baguette in his hand, a smile on his face as he surveyed the destruction around him.

"This looks like an interesting fight..." he said as he turned his body and looked at the carnage, then a smaller person wearing robes similar to his jumped down beside him, holding a very long baguette like a spear.

"Anyone mind if we join in?!" he yelled before he swung his baguette at Pyrrha, she quickly rolled away and grabbed a baguette for herself and started to fight a duel with him, meanwhile Velvet saw Jaune getting up and rushed to attack him with her own baguette, she jumped into the air and smacked him across the head stunning him before she hit him again knocking him down.

Velvet felt a rush of excitement as she fought, sure it wasn't the same as when she fought (Y/N) or the Grimm but it was still an emotion, she sought to harness that emotion and felt power rise within her, she hit Jaune with the baguette before doing a similar motion (Y/N) would do and Force Pushed Jaune into the collapsed tables, at first she felt worried she had hurt him but that quickly went away when Nora tried to attack her with more soda grenades.

Meanwhile (Y/N) and Pyrrha fought each other fiercely, Pyrrha trying to block all of his attacks while he made the fight look effortless on his part, the smile didn't leave his face as they fought even Pyrrha had a smile crawl over her own face as the excitement even with a baguette (Y/N) was indomitable!

"Having fun Pyrrha? Because I am" (Y/N) taunted as he swiped at her, Pyrrha moved back and tried to counter attack but was blocked by his baguette before he clashed his bread with hers, the two fought each other until Ruby stood back up with a serious look on her face.

Ruby turned towards team JNPR, the Sith and his Apprentice and got herself set to use her own Semblance on them, she growled before taking off like a speeding bullet, she ran so fast that the cans that were flying through the air started to fly the other way, along with lots of plates and food, team JNPR looked at the oncoming maelstrom with worry while (Y/N) and Velvet saw the attack coming, Ruby took off into a rapid spin turning herself into a red blur as he cloak wrapped around her body.

"Oh Shit!" (Y/N) said as he reached out to Velvet and grabbed her with the Force before pulling her into his arms, Ruby sped past Jaune and Ren blowing them along with the food and cans, (Y/N) quickly ducked behind a table with Velvet while Ruby got Pyrrha and Nora caught up in the wind tunnel before she stopped in front of a wall, the force from her speed caused the wall to crack before all four members of team JNPR were stuck to the wall, Ruby then jumped up to the roof and held on as the food and cans from her wind tunnel crashed into the four students, in the end the four members of team JNPR were covered in different types of food and drink making them look like a chaotic painting as Ruby dropped to the ground in a superhero landing, then the four members of team JNPR detached from the wall and fell to the ground behind Ruby.

"That was close..." (Y/N) said as he stood up, only to find the he and Velvet had bits of food stuck to their robes, they looked at each other before they burst out laughing.

"I love these guys" Sun said as he smiled at Neptune, who was covered in some kind of drink, suddenly the doors burst open and Glynda Goodwitch walked in with a scowl on her face as she looked at the mess, she stopped some more food that was flying towards her before using her telekinesis to put everything back into it's proper place, and clean up all the food that had been splattered all over the room.

"children, please do not play with your food" Glynda said as she adjusted her glasses, all of the kids were covered in bits of food from the fight, Ruby sat down on a table tiredly with Weiss, Blake, (Y/N) and Velvet, and opposite them was all four members of team JNPR, suddenly Nora burped loudly making the others flinch from the noise, suddenly there was a loud crash as Yang came back through the roof along with a pile of rubble, (Y/N) jumped off of a table and caught Yang in midair before he landed with Yang in his arms princess style.

"Careful now Yang, wouldn't want you to fall for anyone else now would we?" (Y/N) said with a cocky grin on his face, Yang laughed at his pickup line as she wrapped her an arm around the back of his neck.

"It's fine I was just... 'dropping in' to see you!" she said as they both laughed, the others joined in with the laughter but Velvet and Pyrrha looked at Yang jealously, Glynda growled in annoyance at the carefree way the kids were acting over wasting food and destroying the cafeteria.

"Let it go" Ozpin said as he stepped up beside Glynda and put his hand on her shoulder, making her sign in exasperation.

"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world" Glynda said as she watched the kids laugh and have fun together.

"And they will be, but right now, they're still children" Ozpin said as Yang gave her teammates the thumbs up with a big grin on her face, meanwhile Pyrrha and Velvet's jealousy grew bigger.

"So why not let them play the part?" Ozpin asked as he stood beside her.

"After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever" Ozpin said, he looked back towards (Y/N) who was still holding Yang in his arms, it was times like this he felt that (Y/N) was starting to adjust to a peaceful way of life, however his eyes lingered on the robed girl that stood not too far away, watching the Sith and Yang with obvious jealousy.

"Thanks for catching me handsome, how about I give you a reward~" she said before she leaned in and pecked (Y/N) on the lips, Pyrrha and Velvet's jealousy turned into anger and suddenly their latent Force Powers suddenly lashed out, tables were thrown away from Velvet and Pyrrha with force.

(Y/N) knew immediately what happened so he set Yang back down and walked towards Velvet and Pyrrha, he placed his hands on both Pyrrha and Velvet's shoulders and they both calmed down when he pecked them both on the lips, making them both blush from the kiss.

"Who are you?" Glynda asked Velvet in a demanding tone of voice, Velvet froze under the teacher's gaze in fear of getting in trouble but felt better when (Y/N) walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"This is my apprentice, for the last two weeks I have been teaching her the ways of the Sith, and I must say she's an excellent pupil" (Y/N) said, Velvet blushed at the compliment while Glynda narrowed her eyes at her with suspicion in her eyes.

"Would you please remove your hood? I want to identify you properly, we cannot have unregistered individuals walking around Beacon, after all we don't want any criminals to get in and cause harm to our students" Glynda said as she reached for her riding crop, Velvet got really nervous because she didn't want the others to know about her yet.

"That will not be necessary Glynda, I'm sure she is not going to cause any trouble here" Ozpin said as he looked at Velvet with a small smile, Glynda growled angrily before she turned and stomped away.

"Have a nice day students, but try not to break anything else" Ozpin said as he turned and left the room too.

(Y/N) and Velvet looked back to see the others looking at them both, Ruby, Weiss, Jaune and Nora were looking at the two with curiosity, Blake kept her eyes on Velvet trying to think of a way to get through to her, Ren just observed Velvet at a distance and Pyrrha and Yang were looking at her with jealousy, they were both worried about this unknown girl that was taking up a lot of their crush's time and attention.

"Hello there! what's your name?" Ruby asked as she zipped over to Velvet, who kept her hood over her face and carefully watched the others, she didn't want another close call like last time and chose to hide herself in (Y/N)'s chest, making Yang grit her teeth in anger and Pyrrha get sad.

"She's a little shy, doesn't like to talk much" (Y/N) said, he knew that Velvet didn't want to reveal herself to the others yet, and he chose to respect that.

"Oh okay, so are you really (Y/N)'s Apprentice?" Nora asked as she looked into Velvet's hood, she nodded her head at the ginger haired girl, who smiled excitedly.

"I didn't know you were going to teach people stuff, how come you didn't make that offer to any of us?" Ruby asked, Yang seemed interested in what (Y/N) would say, even if she wouldn't really know much about Sith stuff she would have loved to spend so much time with him.

"Well, I did make an offer to Pyrrha, but she didn't seem interested in learning the ways of the Sith, and the rest of you seemed too busy with your own things" (Y/N) said, Pyrrha looked crestfallen after hearing that, if she'd known she could have gotten to be with him so much she might have agreed, and Yang was pissed because while she was a little hazy on studying she might have been with (Y/N)!

"So... if she's training under you, does that mean she's already a Sith, or not?" Blake asked, she was hoping that this would have some kind of initiation, if that was the case then perhaps she could find a way to stop Velvet before she became a full member of whatever (Y/N) was doing.

"Technically, since she's still discovering the power of the Force, she's an Acolyte, after she learns more about the important parts of the ways of the Sith she will become a true Apprentice, she will become a full Sith after her final test" (Y/N) explained.

"And what does this final test entail exactly?" Weiss asked in annoyance as she glared at Velvet, she hadn't forgotten about being blasted away after almost knowing who she was, she fully intended to find out one way or another.

"That I cannot say for sure, it's something that will bring about strong emotions for her, a good source of energy for her to feed upon and use to wield the true might of the Dark Side" (Y/N) said, Blake didn't like the sound of that and resolved to try and stop whatever it could be, before it was too late for her fellow faunus.

"Wait, so there's studying involved with this whole Sith thing?" Yang asked as she walked a little closer, as did Pyrrha.

"Absolutely, anyone who wishes to become Sith has to understand the basics, full immersion over time will produce results in their training, for instance right now along with her physical training I am teaching her the Sith Code, and explaining it's meaning in battle, war and politics" (Y/N) said, this caught the attention of the students, they were curious of this code and what it entailed.

"Wow, I didn't know the Sith had a code, can you tell us about it?" Yang asked, she was hoping that if she started to learn about it, then perhaps (Y/N) could teach her too!

"I'd also like to know about the Sith code, please" Pyrrha said, she was thinking pretty much the same thing as Yang was, and the fact that she could already feel the Force would surely help her with him choosing who to train.

"Very well, the Sith code goes like this, Peace is a lie there is only Passion. Through Passion, we gain Strength. Through Strength, we gain Power. Through Power, we gain Victory. Through Victory, our chains are broken. The Force shall set us Free" (Y/N) said, as he recited the code his power swelled along with his emotions, Velvet and Pyrrha could feel them through their connection to him through the Force, while the others had mixed feelings about the code they just heard.

"Wow, that's an interesting code" Jaune said in a nervous voice.

"Indeed it is, the Code of the Sith is much more than words to memorise, you must learn them, understand them, those words will lead you to the true power of the Force, the power of the Dark Side" (Y/N) said, the others were now interested in asking about the Sith Code.

"Do you think you could explain what the code means?" Blake asked, she was interested in knowing the philosophy of the Sith, perhaps it could be a way for her to get through to both him and Velvet.

"Sure, the first line, Peace is a lie, there is only Passion, it means that peace is the ultimate lie of those who wish to be powerful fighters, Conflict forces one to better oneself, it forces change, growth, adaption, evolution... or death" (Y/N) said, this made the other students slightly confused.

"But, what's wrong with using our strength to preserve the peace?" Ruby asked.

"For a Sith, our powers are derived and strengthened by conflict, peace brings only stagnation, leaving you vulnerable to those who are stronger, conflict is a law of the universe, it is everywhere, you simply cannot see it for what it truly is" (Y/N) said, Ruby did agree somewhat since conflict meant awesome new weapons, plus Yang found herself agreeing since she liked to fight.

"Through Passion, we gain Strength, simply put we seek to become stronger, to achieve our full potential and not rest upon our laurels, it is our passions that keep us, or all creatures alive, we are hunters, not shepherds or their sheep" (Y/N) said.

"Through Strength, we gain Power, you see, without strife and conflict victory has no meaning, without strife you don't advance, without strife there is only stagnation" (Y/N) said.

"Through Power, we gain Victory, unless you achieve victory by showing your power is superior, it will only be an illusion, something temporary that will eventually be shattered, we seek more" (Y/N) said, Blake was a little unnerved by that line, it sounded similar to the White Fang's doctrine.

"Through Victory, our chains are broken, Once you have broken the chains that hold you down, you shall reach higher, your potential fulfilled" (Y/N) said, Pyrrha liked the sound of being free from all the things that bound her down.

"The Force shall set us free, the Force is our servant and our master, our teacher and our companion, a weapon and a tool, know the Force and you know the universe, master it and you master the universe, strive to become more and the Force shall reward you" (Y/N) said as he finished up.

"How exactly does the Force reward you, (Y/N)?" Pyrrha asked.

"By giving you the power to overcome all obstacles and become the most deadly thing on the planet, speaking of which it's time to continue our lessons, come Apprentice" (Y/N) said, Velvet nodded under her hood and the two quickly left the Cafeteria to continue her training.

"I wonder what kind of things he's teaching her?" Ruby said as she watched them both walk away.

"I'm more concerned on who she is" Yang said as she clenched her fists.

"Do you think if any of us learned about that Sith Code he'd teach us stuff?" Yang asked, she was forming a plan in her mind to get the Sith to take her on as a student, then they could play the teacher and the naughty school girl~

"Maybe he will, we just need to learn more about this Sith code..." Pyrrha said to herself, she was planning to take on the role of his student to improve her fighting techniques against the Grimm, and if she could get closer to (Y/N) in the process all the better.

"Oh, oh I wanna try and learn it too!" Ruby said excitedly.

"It couldn't hurt to learn some of his fighting techniques, after all he does slay Grimm much easier than anyone else" Weiss said, as she also planned on how to manufacture those lightsabers that (Y/N) would use.

"No! We shouldn't follow his path" Blake exclaimed, surprising everyone.

"I mean, it wouldn't be right to just copy someone else's way of doing things, we should be working hard to do things our own way" Blake said quickly, she really didn't want to cause a rift between them all or get Velvet in trouble if it could be avoided.

"Yeah... I guess your right" Ruby said as she scratched the back of her head.

"It would be a pain to relearn a completely new way of fighting, especially when we're already good with our own fighting style" Weiss said as she thought about it more, if she took up trying to learn the ways of the Sith it would cut into her study time!

"They do say, it is better to find your own path rather than follow the path of another" Ren said in a calm, sagely voice.

"Oh all right! Ren, Pancakes!" Nora yelled before grabbing Ren's arm and dragging him away to make her some pancakes.

"I agree, I'm pretty sure (Y/N)'s training is way too harsh, probably best we stick to what we're doing now" Jaune said, Pyrrha gave a sneer at the blonde knight, ever since she had been bonded to (Y/N) she had to admit some of her darker emotions had begun to bubble to the surface, so far she had been able to keep it in her head but these feelings have been getting stronger and stronger, she'd also noticed that sometimes when her emotions ran high things would move on their own, or things would suddenly get broken and she was certain it was something to do with the Force.

"Well I want to try it! I'm going to learn about this Sith Code, and I'll get to spend time with (Y/N)!" Yang declared before she walked off planning on how to learn what she needed to learn.

"Well... I'll be going now, I have things to do, bye!" Pyrrha said before vanishing in a flash, leaving the others standing there staring after them both.

"Wow, she's really got it bad..." Ruby said, Weiss huffed in an annoyance at her blonde teammates antics, and Blake's worry spiked since she was worried about her partner being entrapped in the darkness, as well as the strongest First Year in Beacon.

NIGHT TIME, VALE'S WAREHOUSE DISTRICT, THIRD PERSON'S POV

In a warehouse in the shady side of Vale, Emerald, Mercury and Zack were walking into the warehouse, where White Fang soldiers were working to unload crates from a Bullhead and move them elsewhere, the three kids walked through the warehouse until they stopped in front of Roman Torchwick.

"Oh look, she sent the kids again" Roman said as he walked towards the two criminals.

"This is turning out just like the divorce" he said as he hugged both of them, they quickly swatted his arms away before stepping back from the orange haired man.

"Spare us the thought of you procreating" Emerald said in a disgusted voice, Roman then looked at Zack but didn't make any move to approach him since he liked living.

"Hello again Zack, what have you been up to?" Roman asked the Sith.

"Not much, got bored staying here so I thought I'd look around to see what there was to do on this world, besides, I didn't want to hang around 'her' any longer than I needed to" Zack said, his voice dropping into an annoyed tone at the last part.

"Yeah, I can kinda understand why you don't want to be around Toranna, she's crazy" Emerald said.

"Crazy for some dude called (Y/N), I pity the guy" Mercury said as he gave Zack an angry look.

"And this, might just tell me where you three have been all day" Roman said as he pulled out a business card got Tuckson's Book Trade, Emerald checked her pockets in surprise at that.

"I'm a professional sweetheart, pay attention, maybe you'll learn something" Roman said as he read the address, his face falling into a frown after he read it.

"Why do you have this address?" Roman asked Emerald and Mercury.

"wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald said in a snarky voice while Roman walked closer to the three.

"Yea, I would, now where have you been all day?" Roman asked.

"Cleaning up your problems, one of them at least" Mercury said as he pointed at Torchwick.

"More like hogging all the fun..." Zack said in annoyance.

"I had that under control" Torchwick said in annoyance.

"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise" Mercury said in a carefree voice.

"Listen you little punk, if it were up to me I would take you, that freak over there and your little street-rat friend here, and I would-" Roman said as he raised his cane to smack Mercury across the head with it.

"Do what, Roman?" came a very feminine voice, the four looked up and saw Cinder Fall walk to the edge of a raised platform, the platform started to lower her down to them.

"I'd uh... Not kill them?" Roman said as he lowered the cane.

"Cinder!" Emerald said excitedly.

"I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would-be runaway" Cinder said as she walked towards Torchwick, her heels clinking on the floor as she walked.

"I was going to!" Torchwick said.

"He was going to escape to Vacuo. Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat" Emerald said in a proud voice.

"I think he was some sort of cat actually" Mercury said.

"What, like a puma?" Emerald asked.

"Yeah, there ya go" Mercury confirmed.

"Quiet" Cinder said, this got both Emerald and Mercury to shut up quickly.

"Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?" Cinder asked, while Torchwick made an "Oh your in trouble!" look at the kids, Zack just glared back at him in annoyance since he's being blamed for something he didn't even do!

"I just thought-" Emerald said as she scratched her hair, however she was cut off by Cinder.

"Don't think. Obey" Cinder said as Torchwick made a neck slice motion towards the three, making Zack reach for his lightsaber.

"Yes Ma'am, it won't happen again" Emerald said after a pause.

"And you" Cinder said to Roman, who chuckled nervously now that her attention was on him.

"Why wasn't this job done sooner?" Cinder demanded, Roman just indicated to the stacks of crates around him like it was obvious.

"Sorry if I've been a little busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom!" Roman exclaimed loudly.

"Well, not every speck..." came the voice of an older man, Cinder, Emerald and Mercury turn around to see Darth Thanaton, the current leader of the Sith that were on Remnant walking towards them, beside him was Lord Zash, another of the Sith that were working alongside Cinder and her plans to destroy humanity.

"After all you did fail to take a sizeable shipment two weeks ago... and from what I understand all of your troubles stem from a young girl and her three friends, I must say..." Thanaton said as he stopped beside Cinder, giving Roman a glare.

"In my mind if you get stopped by a child of all things, then your usefulness would be at an end" Thanaton said in a threatening voice, Lord Zash smiled at the insult even though she was not happy with having to stay close to her former Master.

"Look around, I've got this town running scared. Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're all sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials and rounds than we know what to do with" Roman said as he swept his arms over the large crates of Dust all around them.

"Speaking of which" Torchwick said as he turned to face Cinder and her companions.

"If you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand-master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother" Roman said in an annoyed voice.

"True, it would also help us if we knew the plan Cinder, after all we wouldn't want one of my apprentices to kill someone important to your cause" Thanaton said, in truth he was annoyed at having to play along with Cinder's games and would have been more than happy to kill her and take control, however for some reason he felt that he shouldn't kill her just yet.

"Oh Roman, Thanaton. Have a little faith" Cinder said as she walked up to both men and caressed their cheeks with her hands, her touch lingering on Thanaton longer than Torchwick, Roman seemed a little uncomfortable while Thanaton seemed unaffected by her flirting.

"You'll both know what you need when you need to know it" Cinder said as her eyes glowed orange, Roman scoffed and looked away while Thanaton simply left to continue his own plotting and scheming.

"Besides, we're done with Dust" Cinder said as she turned away from Torchwick and walked towards Emerald, Mercury and Zack.

"Okay, then what now?" Roman asked curiously, Thanaton watched silently his mind carefully looking for anything he could use to his own advantage.

"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building, Thanaton have your students take whatever they need, I'll send you the details and coordinates tonight" Cinder said as she walked away.

"Coordinates?" Roman asked.

"we're proceeding to phase two" Cinder said, Emerald and Mercury followed after her while Roman stayed at the table, Thanaton watched Cinder walk away while Zash smiled at Torchwick.

"Looks like she has some trust issues" Zash said.

"Heh, tell me about it, would you two mind getting your other kid, I don't want to go anywhere near her" Roman said as he put one of his cigars into his mouth and looked for his lighter, he felt around the pockets of his white coat but couldn't find it.

"Where the hell is my lighter?" he said to himself.

"Over there" Zash said as she and Zack followed after Thanaton, Roman looked to the door and saw Emerald smirking back at him, holding his lit lighter in her hand, she stuck her tongue out at him and clicked the lighter closed before sauntering off after Cinder and Mercury, leaving Roman standing back annoyed at not being able to smoke.

Thanaton, Zash and Zack kept on walking towards the area that they had claimed as their own, outside the doorway several White Fang were guarding the door, they were visibly nervous at the approaching Sith especially after what they did to the ones that failed during the robbery.

"Let's go get Toranna, and get ready to move" Thanaton said as he opened the door and walked inside.

"Hopefully we'll go somewhere a little cleaner, I need a sterile environment to conduct my experiments on these Grimm" Zash said as she followed after him.

"I just hope Toranna will calm down a little, ever since (Y/N) went off on that journey to get those artefacts she's been getting crazier and crazier" Zack said, the three Sith walked through the base together, White Fang soldiers parting like the red sea before them in fear.

"Yes... the fact that he got those artefacts was an unexpected success, I fully expected him to be killed by one of the various traps, or captured by the Republic or the Jedi, it would seem I underestimated his will to live..." Thanaton said, the truth was (Y/N)'s ideas seemed like blasphemy to Thanaton since he was a staunch traditionalist, he wanted to keep the traditions of the ancient Sith but (Y/N) felt that some of those traditions needed to be changed, thus he had sent (Y/N) into these situations hoping he would be killed, however Toranna's intervention stopped him dying a few times since her obsession with him drove her to keep him alive.

"Indeed, you even went to the trouble of having it set up to kill him when he returned, yet the Republic attacked us saving him in the process, he must have a true stroke of luck..." Zash said as she put her hand on her chin in thought.

"Yes, perhaps too lucky..." Thanaton said when they reached the room that belonged to their crazed member, Thanaton opened the door to find Toranna sitting on her bed meditating.

"Apprentice, we're moving the base, gather your equipment and be ready to move" Thanaton ordered before he walked away with Zash, leaving Zack with her.

"I wonder if we'll find (Y/N) soon..." Toranna said as she stood up.

"Well, he has been staying in this city, so he must be close by" Zack said before he walked away, he didn't like having to be around her more than necessary.

"I can't wait to make him mine, he may have rejected me once... but once I find him I'll make him mine forever!" Toranna said before she started to laugh manically.

AT BEACON, (Y/N)'S POV

I was training with Velvet when I felt a shudder through the Force, I looked to the window of my room and watched the outside carefully, I knew that feeling and if it was who I think it was, things are going to get really rough...

Especially for Yang, Pyrrha and Velvet.

"I may have to speed up the training, they have to be ready..." I said to myself.

"D-Did you say something (Y/N)?" Velvet asked, I turned around and saw her still sitting cross-legged on my bed, she had been waiting for me to teach her more about the ways of the Sith.

"It's nothing Velvet, just thinking on a Force Power to teach you" I said, I looked over and saw that she was excited to see what I could teach her.

"What are you going to teach me?" she asked, I walked over and sat across from her, looking right into her chocolate brown eyes, making her blush slightly.

"I'm going to teach you, the Art of Terror" I said as a smile came to my face, she looked at me intrigued as I started to explain what she needed to do to learn this power, she had felt fear for most of her life, but now, she will be the cause of new fear...
