Team Ambr arrive at their new dorm room, which is just a few doors down from team RWBY's. Ambré pulls out her scroll and opens the door, and the four walk inside.

  "Woah..." Rose mutters as she looks around.

  Team Ambr looks around in slight awe at their massive room. One on side of the room is four rge beds with nightstands between them and a window in the middle. On the other side is a rge TV on a stand with bookshelves on either side of it.

  On the farthest end is a door that Byzan assumes leads to the bathroom and on the wall closest to them are a couple desks.

  'This room is rather rge, I don't think every room is like this.' Byzan says in thought. 'But why is our room so rge?'

  Rose walks over to her bed, dropping her dufflebag at the end, and plops down face first. "Mmmm, so soft!" Her bed is second from the bathroom.

  Ambré walks over to a bed, closest to the bathroom, and sits on it as she sets her two dufflebags down. "Wow, these are soft."

  Maize and Byzan pick their beds, Byzan's the farthest from the bathroom. They sit down, dropping their bags, and pats the beds.

  "I didn't think the school had beds like these." Maize states.

  Byzan hums in thought as his ears twitch. 'Something's not right here. Why did Opzin give us a room like this?'

  Rose props herself up. "I think we should take some showers... We all kinda smell." She smells herself and cringes.

  "I rather like the sound of that." Maize smiles.

  Ambré stands up and stretches. "I call dibs."

  "Darn..." Rose mutters.

  Ambré opens the bathroom door and whistles. "This is one nice bathroom."

  Team Ambr's bathroom is rather rge with a rge bath and shower; and double sinks. She heads back to her bed and reaches into her bag and pulls out some sweat pants and a white shirt.

  "I promise not to take a long shower~" Ambré heads into the bathroom and shuts the door.

  After a few seconds the shower turns on and Ambré can be heard humming. Rose hops off her bed as Maize ys down in hers. Byzan ys belly down and stretches out like a cat.

  Rose walks around the room and spots a box on a table between the studying desks. She blinks in question and walks over to it.

  "What's this?" Rose questions as her two teammates look over to her.

  Rose opens up the box and pulls out a set of Beacon's Student Uniform. She smiles and gasps in excitement. "Wow, it's our uniforms!"

  Rose pulls out the rest but grows confused.

  "Why are there four female uniforms?" Rose asks.

  "There's not four." Byzan walks over and grabs a set and shows that it has a female top but bck pants. "I had mine customized."

  Maize looks confused. "Why do you want a female top, but male bottom?"

  Byzan sticks his tongue out as he does a cute pose. "I wanted to show off everything I have~"

  Rose and Maize give Byzan the same confused look. "What?"

  Byzan leans forward and slightly tilts his head while ticking out his rear. "I~ Am~ Going~ To~ Be~ Beautifuuuuullll~" He wiggles his ass.

  Rose and Maize look at each other in more confusion, before looking back at Byzan. "OKay."

  "Byzan, do you require a medical checkup. This is not usual behavior for men." Maize states.

  Byzan ughs as he gives a rge smile. "I'm just unique."

  Maize nods. "I understand." She heads back to her bed and sits down.

  Byzan gnces back at Rose and notices a small blush on her face as she stares at him. His smile turns into a smirk. "See something you like~"

  Smoke flows from Rose's ears. "I-I-I'M NOT STARING!"

  The bathroom door opens as Ambré walks out, in her pajamas, as she dries her hair. "Ahhh~ That was nice, who's ne-" Rose runs past her, clothes in hand, and sms the door shut. "-xt... What was that about."

  Byzan chuckles as he sits crosslegged on his bed. "Just couldn't handle some teasing."

  Ambré gres at Byzan as she sits on her bed. "You better not mess with her."

  Byzan gives a smug look. "Or what~"

  "I'm snap you in half."

  Byzan licks his lips. "Oh, kinky~ Meow~" He paws at her.

  Ambré grows a slight look of disgust. "Never do that again!"

  Maize just looks confused. "Is this what flirting is?"

  "NO!" Ambré yells as she gres at the smug looking cat.

  Rose walks out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of pink two piece pajamas with different kinds of birds on them. It shows off her rather rge chest. The blush on Rose's face is still viable as she plops down onto her bed.

  "Y-Your turn, Maize." Rose calls out as she hides her face under her pillow.

  Maize stands up and salutes. "Okay!"

  Maize walks towards the bathroom with a pair of clothes in hand. She then heads in and waves her hand. "Oh, kinda hot." She shuts the door.

  Ambré sighs and pulls out her scroll and starts to tap at it. Byzan pulls out his scroll and and watches some videos on Remtube.

  Several minutes ter Maize walks out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of pajamas simir to her combat outfit. "I'm done! Byzan it's your turn."

  "Nah, I'm good." Byzan, with his eyes closed, licks his arm, his shirt and coat are ying on the ground beside the bed. A rge circur jagged scar on the left side of his stomach.

  The rest of the team stare at Byzan in question.

  "Um... Byzan, what are you doing?" Rose asks.

  Byzan opens on of his amber eyes and looks at Rose, as he licks his arm. "Cleaning myself, what does it look like?"

  "That's so unhygienic and disgusting!" Ambré shouts.

  "Actually-" Maize speaks up. "Cat Faunus' saliva has no scent. And they are able to clean themselves by licking, just like regur cats do."

  Byzan nods as he licks the back of his right hand, then uses it to clean his cat ears. "Yup, I do this all the time."

  Ambré just keeps looking at Byzan in disgust. "When was the st time you actually cleans yourself, like with soap and water."

  "What is today?"

  "It's Sunday." Rose informs.

  "Hmmm. Six years ago."

  Rose and Ambré are disgusted while Maize gives Byzan a confused look.

  "From what I know, that's not every hygienic." Maize states.

  "It's very unhygienic!" Ambré yells as she stands up and stomps towards Byzan. "You have having a real bath right now!"

  Byzan stares bnkly at Ambré, before he shoots up and runs out of the room. "RUNNING TIME!"

  "Oh, no you fucking don't!" Ambré yells as she chases after Byzan.

  "Oh, please don't cause trouble!" Rose loudly says as she chases after them.

  "This is great for team bonding!" Maize cims as she chases after the rest of her team.

  Ruby pokes her head out of her dorm as she heard some yelling. Then Byzan swiftly runs past her. "Byzan, why are you running?"

  "They want to kill me?!" Byzan yells as she zooms around a corner.

  "What?"

  Ambré, Rose and Maize run past Ruby and round the corner where Byzan went.

  "O...Kay?" Ruby slowly goes back into her room.

  Byzan nearly trips as he runs around another corner.

  "You can't run forever, Byzan!" Ambré yells.

  "This is fun!" Maize shouts.

  "Please don't cause damage to school property!" Rose shouts.

  Byzan whines a little. "What is bad for the kitty!"

  Byzan runs around another corner, only to run into someone, sending them both to the ground.

  Byzan grunts and moans as he rubs his head, he looks up and spots his sister. "Bke?"

  Bke props herself up and sees her brother. "Byzan, what are you doing?" She says with slight venom in her voice.

  "Um..."

  "Why are you not wearing a shirt?"

  "I don't have time-" Someone grabs Byzan's gs. "Uh oh."

  "I got you." Ambré's eyes shine red as she gres down at him.

  Byzan looks back at his team leader in fear. "Please, don't do this!" Ambré starts to drags him back towards the dorm. "NOOOO! BLAKE, HELP ME! NOOOOOOOOO!"

  Byzan gets dragged around a corner and his yells slowly get quieter and quieter.

  Bke picks up a couple of the books she dropped. "What was that about?"

  Later in the bathroom of team Ambr's dorm, Rose, with her right eye red, is giving Byzan a bath. The cat has a grumpy look on his face as his arms are crossed.

  "Stop being a fucking whinny bitch." Rose? gres at the cat as she washes his arm.

  "How can you be Rose's sembnce?" Byzan asks.

  "I do have a name you know, it's Thorn!" Thorn tightens her grip on Byzan's arm.

  "Ow! Ow! Okay, Thorn!"

  Thorn gives Byzan a smile. "Good, now be a good pussy cat and let me wash you."

  Byzan remains quiet as Thorn washes Byzan's back and rubs a hand over his fresh scar, causing him to slightly flinch as he bits his lip.

  "Wow did this happen?" Thorn asks as she continues to rub his scar.

  Byzan sps Thorn's arm, making her stop. "I make a slightly mistake and this is the consequence."

  "What, did you piss someone off?" Thorn raises an eyebrow.

  Byzan shrugs. "Something like that."

  Thorn pours a bunch of water over Byzan's head. He tries to get up, but Thorn sms him back into the tub. "No moving~" She gives him a angry smile.

  "I HATE WATER!!!!" Byzan screams.

  .

  .

  Byzan is in a undry room as he leans over a washing machine.

  Byzan's wearing a oversized white T-shit and a pair of booty shorts. His ass is sticking out as sways a little as he gres at the wall in front of him. Water drips from his slightly long hair as he taps his check with his right hand as he sues it to prop up his head.

  "This is just cruel." Byzan looks down at the washer's controls and sees three minutes left. "Making me do undry after nearly killing me in the bathtub."

  Byzan angrily starts to hum as his hips sway a little more. Suddenly a pair of red eyes shine in the darkness of the open door behind him. Suddenly Yang zooms into the room with a hand held high.

  "Gottcha, kitty!" Yang sps Byzan's ass hard.

  Byzan yells out in pain as she slumps to the ground, smoke rising from his rear. "What the fuck, Goldie!" He gres at her with a tear falling from his eye. He stands up and rubs his as. "You gotta problem?"

  Yang shrugs as she smirks. "I dunno, but I do feel rather lucky to run into you~" She leans towards Byzan.

  A smirk forms on Byzan's face. "I don't know if I'm lucky or not to see you now." He leans towards Yang, slowly pushing her back onto the wall. "But they say bck cats are bad luck."

  "Oh, but I feel rather lucky." Yang lidded eyes look down at the cat.

  Byzan leans up towards Yang. "Oh, really do you now?" He leans up towards her, their lips inches apart.

  "I really do." Yang leans towards Byzan, their lips just grazing.

  "Boop." Byzan suddenly boops Yang's nose as he skips backwards towards the washing machine as it beeps.

  Yang blinks in confusion a few times, her lips purse.

  "Awww, are you not satisfied Goldie~" Byzan asks in a teasing tone as he moves his and his teams clothes from the washer to the dryer. "Maybe next time don't sp my ass!" He gres at her. "At least not so hard~"

  Byzan starts to dryer and walks out of the under room with a sway in his hips. He stops and looks back at Yang, wiggling his butt a little. "Maybe next time you'll be a little more lucky." He leaves the room.

  A little bit of blood falls down Yang's nose. "Damn."

  Byzan smirks as he walks down the hall. 'She's so easy to py... Honestly I think her and Bke would make a good couple...' He taps his chin. 'But how could I make that happen?'

  Byzan rounds a corner and nearly bumps into someone.

  "Oh, sorry about that." Byzan looks up and frowns as he sees Professor Ash. "Professor." He gres at him.

  Ash smiles. "Ah, Mr. Beldonna. How are you?"

  Byzan keeps gring at him. "Fine, Professor."

  "That's good." Ash keeps smiling. "Though, why the gre, Mr. Beldonna?"

  "If you must know Professor, I don't trust you."

  Ash raises an eyebrow. "Oh, is it because I used to work for Ironwood, or that my sister nearly killed you recently?"

  "That and among several other things."

  Ash chuckles darkly. "Oh, trust me Nightshade, I won't hurt you or be a threat. As long as you don't hurt any of the students here. But if you do, I am in need of something to test my new weapon on~"

  Byzan growls at Ash. "Oh, trust me, I don't pn on hurting anyone here, as long as they don't do anything bad to me, my friends or my kind."

  Ash ughs as he walks away. "Have a goodnight, Mr. Beldonna."

  Byzan gres at the retreating Ash, before letting out a shakey sigh. "I don't know who's scarier, him or his sister."

  The next morning Byzan and his team are walking through the halls of Beacon, with Ambré at the lead. Byzan is wearing his custom uniform, a female top with bck pants.

  "So what's our first css?" Rose asks.

  Ambré looks over the schedule on her scroll. "Our first css is with Professor Ash. Weapon's css. Then we have Port's css then Peaches. Then the rest of the day is elective csses."

  The way Beacon's scheduling works it for the first three csses of the day are with your team, then the st three are elective csses of the students choice.

  Byzan growls at the mention of Professor Ash.

  "Oh, Ash!" Rose shakes with excitment.

  "I know, I'm excited too." Ambré smiles.

  "Don't forget, Professor Ash will not give you two any special treatment, even if you're all reted." Maize calls out.

  "We know, Maize." Ambré rolls her eyes.

  Maize nods. "Just making sure."

  The group reaches a rge steel door.

  "Are we sure this is the right room?" Byzan asks.

  "Well, it says room 142." Ambré states and they see the room number next to the door, which is correct.

  Suddenly a loud boom is hear within the room and bck smoke pours out from the sides of the door.

  The team swiftly open the door and head into the room. They see Ash standing at a work bench at the side of the room with a scorched piece of metal on it.

  "Damn, that didn't work." Ash mutters in annoyance. He then notices the four students in the room. "Oh, Hello!"

  Ash's face is covered in bck soot as he smiles and waves at the four. Ambré and Rose look at him in worry, Maize just tilts her head in question and Byzan takes out his fsk a and takes a rge drink from him, causing him to slightly cough.

  Ash motions to the seats. "Come on team Ambr, take your seats."

  The four stare at him, then head over to their seats and sit together. Time passes and Ash starts his css as the room is full. Ash goes onto a lecture about weapons and their uses and other stuff.

  "A huntsmen is only as strong as their weapon. Yet, a weapon is only as strong as their huntsmen." Ash walks back and fourth at the front of the css. "You must treat your weapon as if it was another limb, take good care of it, and it will take care of you."

  Everyone listens intently to the Professor, his one good eye glosses over the css.

  "In this css you will learn everything about your weapon and its secrets. You will learn how to maintain it, clean it, and upgrade it. I will not help you fully learn your weapon, you must learn it for yourself."

  A many of the students look at their weapons. Byzan wipes a hand over his sheathed weapon.

  "Now, we all know about Dust Bullets and their uses. There are many kind of Dust rounds. How do Dust rounds work? Well, regur rounds have a lead core designed to penetrate the flesh and bone of Grimm. But Dust rounds have Dust Crystal cores designed to deal damage with their elemental energy, not designed to penetrate. But sometimes Dust is used as the propelnt, which gives the bullet some elemental energy to it, but not as much as a Dust Core. These rounds have a high chance to penetrate the target and deal elemental damage on the inside."

  Ash pulls out a box and opens it up to reveal many different Dust rounds, the tip of the rounds are color coated for the type of Dust.

  "Now, who can tell me why we don't use rounds that have more than one type of dust in it?" Ash asks.

  Ambré raises her hand and Ash nods to her. "The rounds would be more expensive to make?"

  Ash nods. "That's partially correct. The main reason is because the size of the round, to make a round that could hold more than one type of dust crystal would be rather rge. And there's still the chance that the crystals reject each other and set off the round, injuring or killing the user. Now-"

  The bell suddenly rings.

  "Oh, I guess that's all we have time for today." Ash clears his throat as the students start to pack up. "Now, I want everyone to know that this css will have little homework. But I expect all your weapons to be clean by the start of each css. Dismissed."

  Team Ambr leaves the css and Byzan stretches as he and the girls walk down the hall.

  "Now off to Professor Port's css." Ambré says as she looks at her scroll.

  "I wonder what his css is like." Rose puts a finger on her chin.

  "I heard he likes to tell stories." Maize says as she deadpans. "A little more then usual."

  .

  .

  .

  The day finally ends as Byzan leans his final css with a tired look on his face.

  "Damn, that css took forever!" Byzan takes out his fsk and brings it up to his mouth to drink, but stops as an angry Weiss stomps past him and down the hall.

  Byzan blinks a few times and lowers his fsk a. "Maybe this day just got interesting." He puts his fsk away and walks after her, sticking to the shadows.

  Byzan follows Weiss as arrives outside Ash's room. She heads into the css as Byzan sticks outside the door.

  "Ash!" Weiss says in a happy tone.

  "Ahhh, Miss Schnee." Ash greets.

  Weiss sighs. "You could call me Weiss, we're not back in Ats."

  "But you are my student. I won't treat you any different then any other student."

  Weiss lets out a long sigh. "OKay..."

  "You look trouble, Weiss, something wrong?" Ash asks as some metal clinking is heard.

  "I... I think I should have been the leader of team RWBY."

  Ash snorts as he tries to hold back his ughter. "Really?"

  "Excuse me?" Weiss says in slight anger.

  "Weiss, I don't think Ozpin made a wrong choice, Ruby is a perfect fit to be leader."

  "You of all people know how good I am!" Weiss shouts.

  "Yes, but Ruby is still better."

  Weiss stomps her foot. "How?!"

  Ash sighs and sets something down. "Weiss, have you ever gone hungry, not eaten a meal before bed time?"

  "W-what, no? What has this to do with anything?"

  "Have you ever had to sleep alone with no one around you?"

  "Huh?"

  "Weiss, you've spent your entire life getting what you wanted."

  "That's not even remotely true."

  "Weiss..."

  Weiss sighs. "Okay, not entirely true."

  "I've struggled through life a lot Weiss. After my parents were assassinated, I've spent days going to bed without any food. I've had to sleep all alone in a cold dark alleyway. And how did I become like this, I work very, very hard to get where I am today. Do you see what I'm saying?"

  Weiss remains silent.

  "You've hardly gone through hardships, compared to most people. Ruby has gone through several hardships, ones that completely change her life. Her mother was the leader of her team, and I believe Ruby has the genes of a leader. But she can't lead the team by herself, she needs someone to help her."

  Byzan peaks into the room and spots Ash kneel down to Weiss and put a hand on her shoulder.

  "So please, give Ruby a chance, she has great potential. Potential that you could help bring out that potential. You trust me right."

  "...With my life." Weiss looks at Ash's heavily scarred face.

  Ash smiles warmly. "Then trust Ruby, okay."

  Weiss stares at Ash, before nodding. "Okay, I'll trust you."

  Ash ughs and pats her shoulder. "I may be an insane bastard, but I'm really smart. I know potential when I see it." He stands up. "Now, you should get back to your dorm and do some studying."

  Weiss bows to Ash. "Thank you for your time, sir."

  "Anytime."

  Weiss heads for the door.

  'Shit!'

  Byzan runs off, with light footsteps.

  .

  .

  Ambré and Rose watch a movie on the team's rge Tv as Maize sits on her bed with a book in her head. Byzan sits on the window ledge, staring up to the broken moon.

  A raven nds on a tree branch near the window and stares at him. It's red eyes staring into his amber. Byzan smirks and looks back into the room, at his leader.

  'Help bring out the potential huh?' Byzan studies his team leader. 'I guess I could work with you for a little bit.'

  Byzan gives a Cheshire smile as he pulls out his fsk.
