"Hi there!" Flora called out, walking up to the human shaped hole surrounded by the members of teams RWYB and JNPR. Lifting their heads to look at her Flora asked "I take it my partners down there?" she questioned, getting nods from each of them.

"Yeah… Arthurs also down there" Ruby added in a mutter, staring back in to hole, seeing a pile of broken wood and stone with a dust covered girl lying on top of it. Arthur on the other hand was buried within the debris his arms and legs completely out of view as they were completely submerged. His eyes blank and dizzy from the numerous blows he had taken minutes earlier, having not had the chance to start circulating his Aura for a shield.

Walking up to the hole Flora, along with Skye peered into the hole, Bean was off to the side playing with a small cloth doll he named Lulu. "You okay down there?" Flora called out.

"Yeah… Give me a minute, heads still spinning…" Tiger responded pushing her body up until she was sitting, putting her hand against her head to steady her vision. "Your brothers a prick, you know that?" she added, quickly shaking her head and standing up.

"Yeah, I know…" Flora let out a tired sigh and leant down, holding her hand out to help Tiger out.

"Thanks" Tiger said taking Flora's hand, quickly pulling herself up from the hole. Dusting herself off once she was on solid, unbroken ground, behind her another crack could be heard as even more of the bleachers came crashing down causing RWBY and JNPR to quickly jump away from the breaking bleachers. Opening her eyes wide Tiger turned around slowly, with an embarrassed expression at the half destroyed seats "My fault" she said with a slight chuckle.

From the side the members of FSBT could hear Yang say, "Do we hold the funeral now, or later?" while peering into the dust cloud filled hole along with the rest of RWBY and JNPR.

"He should be fine?" Ruby said with an uncertain tone, flinching as another crack resounded throughout the hall.

"Who designed these!?" Weiss shouted, staring in horror at the seeming unstable bleachers that if the last five minutes were anything to go by, were extremely dangerous to a healthy persons lifestyle.

"Did they say 'He'?" Tiger questioned, looking between her two teammates with a nervous expression, Flora and Skye sharing an equally as nervous look as they too peered into the dusty, debris filled abyss. Their eyes widening in shock as a pale white hand hung limply out of the pile of debris.

"We are gathered here today, for the passing of our beloved friend, Mono, the nutcracker…" Nora said, starting a mock funeral, now wearing a pair of black priest's robes, a bible in her hands. Bean standing behind her with a box of tissues, crying his eyes out while hugging his doll Lulu.

Tiger fell to the floor on her hands and knees "I'm a murderer, I'm sorry mom, this child has broken our promise" she whimpered.

Skye was the first to console her as she started patting her back while saying "Hey, don't act like that, it was an accident, if anyone is to be blamed it should be her brother" she said pointing to Flora with her other hand. "I can't refute that" flora replied.

"Nutbreaker, was a great friend, albeit, prone to getting impaled by giant feathers…" Nora's funeral procession continued in the background.

"I'm still the one who did that, even if it was by proxy" Tiger responded looking back into the hole, specifically at the pale white hand poking through the debris, her eyes widening as she saw the hand twitch. Quickly standing up she shouted "He's alive!" in relief "We need to get him ou-"

"Zombie!" Nora screamed "Kill it with fire!" she roared, pulling out her grenade launcher and pointing it at the hole.

"Nora! No!" Was the resounding echo as every member from RWBY and JNPR screamed out. Ren was to slow to stop her as she had been able to fire a single grenade into the centre of the pile before he was able to push it to the side. Seconds later a bright pink light burst from the hole followed by a mushroom shaped plume of smoke.

Staring blankly at the dissipating mushroom cloud Tiger's arms fell to her side, her mouth agape at what just happened.

"Well, at least you weren't the one to finish it" Skye added, earning her glares from both Flora and Tiger. "What!? I'm just trying to lift the mood!" she defended.

"So, closed casket I presume?" Yang asked turning to her sister, earning her a slap to the back of the head, from all three members of her team "I deserved that".

As the dust began to settle around the hole, filing it with a heavy mist, a dark red hand shot out of the hole, the fingers bent into claws as the hand fell onto the floor just outside of it, its black nails digging into the wood of the bleachers. The finger dug into the wood, soon joined by another hand, this time a pale white one lathered in a fine layer of dust.

"It's alive!" Nora cackled, lightning crackling overhead, now wearing a white lab coat, and large round goggles over her eyes.

"She's insane" Flora, Skye and Tiger said at the same time, before turning back to the hole, seeing the hands push down onto the wood after having found somewhere sturdy enough. Slowly from the hole a head emerged, still enswathed in a fine mist of dust particles, which quickly dissipated revealing the white and black hair of Arthur, his white eyes seemingly releasing a glow as they pierced through the dust.

"Little help here…" he asked, turning his head to the three members of FSBT, his eyes locking with each of the members for a moment, sending various emotions through each of them. For Flora it was intrigue as to who this person was. For Tiger it was relief, her guilt only slightly disappearing. And for Skye, well, her face lit up like a Christmas tree and she quickly turned to the side, jumping behind the back of Bean who had appeared next to her.

"Still need help here" Arthur said, awakening the girls from the inquisitive gazes.

"Right!" Tiger shouted, almost jumping back into the hole accidentally as she grabbed Arthurs right arm, followed by Flora grabbing his left. Both counting to three, and pulling him up with enough force that he ended up airborne, about a centimetre above the ground.

"Thank" Arthur said once he landed, his eyes wandering around the room, seeing the various students watching what was happening, Glynda as well, albeit with a impatient, annoyed expression on her face.

Turning his head even more he saw team RWBY and JNPR looking at him with relief as they began to walk over to him, skirting around the now nearly three metre wide hole. Arthurs eyes eventually locked onto Nora who had her head tilted to the sky, while whistling as If she had done nothing wrong, causing Arthurs cheek to twitch in response as an awkward smile formed on his face 'I am so getting my revenge… one day Nora, One day' he cackled in his mind.

Turning his head back to FSBT "Thanks for that" he said as he began to dust his clothes off, or at least what was left of it, as his shirt was now missing it's right sleeve along with the left side being shredded and torn leaving the fabric of the shirt to hang loosely from his body, revealing a large circular scar on his c.h.e.s.t as well as numerous smaller scars from his scuffle with Beowolves when he first arrived on Remnant. His pants didn't fare any better as the entire lower portion the then was shredded and filled with holes, luckily enough was saved that he could still retain his dignity.

"You know… for some reason, I'm starting to think my Aura is really bloody useless…" he muttered, as he began to think how no one apart from him seemed to be going through the same injuries and damages as him, he hadn't ever seen Ruby, let alone anyone else have their clothing torn or even as remotely damaged during spars.

After rapidly shaking his head to remove the dust from his hair he turned back to FSBT and began to inspect the four, his eyes first locked with the large metallic greaves of Flora, which to be honest looked more like a type of jet engine the more he analysed them.

Flora wore a pair of light brown shorts with black stockings underneath. On her upper body she wore an Azure blue waist coat with long sleeves with a pair of black finger less gloves, the waist coat had an intricate floral pattern, highlighted by a lighter shade of metallic blue and golden buttons running down the centre, no other shirt could be seen under the waist coat, leaving a small crevice to show through the V-neck of the coat. Her hair was long and curly, hanging to her shoulders, her eyes a piercing ocean blue, and her skin a fine peachy white which seemed to gleam in the light.

Turning his head to the left first, he saw a tall man, about 6'2 in height, taller than Arthur by nearly a full four inches taller than him. He had brown hair and brown eyes, his face filled with numerous freckles and a goofy smile on his face as he played with the arms of his doll. He wore a pair of light blue, stretchy jeans and a red and blue poloshirt.

Behind the boy was another girl, she had slightly darker hair and a lighter set of brown eyes, her face equally as freckled as the boys, if not more, the freckles mostly along her cheeks. Her skin, Arthur assumed was a bright and peachy white, but was currently a crimson red as she poked her head out from behind the boy. If she had been in the open Arthur would see she was wearing a light red Sundress, with a short sleeved Blue denim jacket, only long enough to reach above her navel, under her sundress she wore a pair of long blue denim pants and on her feet she wore a pair of light brown leather sandals.

Arthur quickly turned away from her once he realized she was getting more agitated the more he stared at her. Whereas the truth was, she had been struggling to remove her eyes from Arthurs open c.h.e.s.t, only being able to once she saw Arthur looking at her.

"Found him" Flora whispered into Skye's ear, a wide grin on her face, causing Skye to blush in embarrassment and retaliate with a punch to her shoulder, ultimately being ineffective as Flora only began to let out a hearty laugh before whispering to her again "My little country girl has a crush~" in a singing voice.

Lastly Arthur looked to the equally as monotonely haired faunus girl, with deep orange and blue eyes as if looking into a galaxy, her skin a light and tan brown, her expression was that of an excited child as she recognized Arthur. She wore a light grey, almost white crop top with black tiger stripes emblazoned across it, on her hands she wore a black pair of gloves, as well as numerous golden bracelets hanging around her wrists and ankles as well as a golden necklace with a small tiger head shaped locket on it. She also wore a pair of light blue ¾ denim pants with one of the legs only going to her t.h.i.g.h.

"Your Arthur Fielder!" Tiger shouted jumping in front of Arthur, excitement evident on her face. "Did Byakko really save you!?" she questioned, her eyes sparkling with numerous stars appearing in her galaxy like eyes.
