8Chapter 2: Museys, Motivation, And A Lot of Fighting
Hey, ladies and gentlemen! BioshockerN7 with AACEing It's "White" trailer. ENJOY!
We don't own shit in terms of RWBY, aside from our love for it! Rest in Peace, Monty. Rest in Peace.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to this year's Vale Musey's, with your host, the maker of the hit single, "REDD vs BLUE", ADAM RALEIGH!"
At this, a brown-haired man with a white streak in the sole left bang wearing a tuxedo walked onto the stage, his face containing a smile full of irresistible charisma. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Adam Raleigh, and I am SO EXCITED to be here! Now tonight is going to be FILLED with great moments! But for now, let's kick this off with the nominees for Best Single!" Adam said, as the screen behind him lit up.
Grimm Hunter by Black Lavender.
Oh Monty, What Have You Done To Me by Rojo Fresco.
REDD vs BLUE by Adam Raleigh.
That's a Big Ursa by Achieve.
At that, Adam reached into the envelope that was handed to him, and pulled out the winner's name. "And the winner is...REDD vs BLUE by Adam Raleigh!"
Claps echoed as people stood up and cheered for the winner as an employee walked up to Raleigh and handed him a Musey. Once he took it, Adam began to tear up, happiness clear in his expression.
"I am SO honored to receive this award. Now, you're probably expecting a big speech, but I'm gonna keep this brief. So in that regard, I'd like to thank the academy, Monty, and the Kool Aid Man," Adam said, before adopting a cheerful expression. "But now, let's go and give a welcome to our lovely guest tonight, who will be singing a song. Ladies and gentlemen, the TERRIFYING, the DEADLY, the person I see at times as a tsundere," Adam said, muttering the last part to himself. "Ladies and gentlemen...WEISS. SCHNEE," Adam said, before walking off stage with his Musey as the curtains unveiled. "Wow, they don't even know much about me and I got an award, anyway. Eat your heart out Leo."

As the music began to play, Weiss simply stood where she was, waiting for her cue to sing, when she noticed something, or rather, SOMEONE in the balcony above.
With a jacket of black and red, chest armor of silver material underneath, and black and red goggles on his head, as well as eyes that were as yellow as the sun, and a posture that screamed relaxed and laid back, she instantly recognized the man.
It was the same man she met several months ago. The man who after the incident almost appeared to have become her guardian angel, for wherever she went, when trouble was nearby, like the White Fang, she was never dragged into it, because they were already taken out, the only evidence that something happened being the sighting of a man with yellow eyes. One person even said they saw the man walk out of a destroyed White Fang base, then disappear into thin air, as if he were never there at all. And any attempts at tracking him led to false traces, with a token of mischief left by the man in his place.
She had never seen her father look so frustrated at an unknown before. She recalled seeing General Ironwood himself practically on the verge of tearing his hair out at their failed attempts to study, in her own words, her "unnatural acquaintance". But noticing the part the song was getting to, she steeled herself, and began to sing the song she saw as a description of herself.
Mirror, tell me something.
Tell me who's the loneliest of all.
Flashback
The room was dark, almost empty in terms of life, save for one person.
Weiss Schnee.
As well as a lifeless suit of armor, that rose up, as her final test.
It then raised its sword, ready to attack.
But Schnee saw it coming, backflipping out of the way.
Quickly prepping Myrtenaster, she lunged forward, passing through the armor into the air.
Upon landing, the armor went for a downward strike, which Weiss shot past in a blur thanks to her Glyphs, now delivering a flurry of strikes from behind. The armor then spun around and swung its blade, which Weiss blocked, but was still sent sliding to the other side of the room. Recovering, she saw the armor jump up with its sword raised before bringing it down. Quickly dodging, as well as dodging another, she brought up Myrtenaster only to be sent back by a strike. Rolling back onto her feet, she used her Glyphs, propelling herself forward at inhuman speeds as she attacked numerous sections of the armor before being punched back to the ground.
She tried to get up, but couldn't find the strength to do it.
"You can do it."
She didn't move her head, but her eyes darted around, looking for the voice, but saw no one.
"Get up, Schnee. And kick that thing's ass. Or you gonna sit down and let that thing win?"
Playing at her pride. Strange, but perfect motivation for now.
She then rose up, ignoring the blood coming down one of her eyes.
Weiss spun her barrel, activating red Dust, and blocked the strike the armor threw in a fiery shockwave. She then spun around, setting the barrel to blue Dust, and brought her blade down, creating a path of ice that staggered the armor. She then jumped onto its swinging blade, now having green Dust as she slashed at the armor's helmet, jumping off the blade onto the ground. She then activated a Glyph below her.
The armor now had no blade, leaving it no choice but to charge forward...right into her Glyph. She then activated another that sent it flying into the air as she triggered smaller Glyphs that froze it in the air as she jumped up. Then, triggering white Dust, she brought her blade down, destroying the armor, leaving nothing but pieces left.

Standing back up from her landing, she simply stood where she was, waiting for her father to announce her results.
"You did good."
Spinning around, she finally saw the source of the voice that allowed her to win.
It was a boy, roughly her own age, wearing a black and red jacket, as well as a whole outfit of a black and red color scheme, save for a visible silver chest piece underneath his jacket. His eyes were currently covered with black goggles with red lens. His arms were crossed, but one rose up as she went to speak, signaling her to stay silent.
"I can't stay here much longer, so I came to congratulate you." He said, as he checked his left arm, a holographic device appearing as he played around with it before turning it off. "Gotta go now, Snow Angel. But before I leave, got one thing to say."
Annoyance ticked across her face at the nickname. "And that is?" Weiss asked, speaking for the first time since she entered this room.
"See ya at Beacon, Schnee."
At that, Weiss looked down in confusion for a second to ponder the man's words, but when she looked back up...he was gone.
End Flashback
As Weiss finished her flashback, she quickly took note of the applause that befell her.
But most importantly, she saw HIM again.
He was clapping as well, his hands covered with black gloves. And he was smiling. Focusing back on the audience, she did a curtsy and walked away as the curtains closed, leaving Adam to himself as everyone else left the theater. The Timeshifter wondered what to do now when he saw three people that caught his interest, and the topic they were talking about in particular caught it even more.
They were students accepted into Beacon Academy.
The first one was a tan-skinned girl, dressed in pink and black, consisting of a pink jacket and a black shirt, as well as a black and pink skinny jeans. Her hair was brown, and her eyes were green that shined with happiness and innocence.
The second was a pale-skinned male Wolf Faunus, with grey wolf ears on his black-haired head. His eyes were grey as well, holding a look of constant excitement and mischief. He wore a fully grey jacket with an interesting pattern on the back, but black shirt and pants, as well as a pair of aviators in one of his pockets.
The third was a boy with fair skin, and blonde hair, as well as blue eyes that held confidence and determination. He wore a black trench coat with a red shirt underneath, as well as black pants.
'Looks like I found my team.' Adam thought to himself as he walked toward the three students.
Well, that was fun to write.
Stay tuned next time as Mikey goes after a certain former White Fang operative!
