A very special ocassion has recently began at Beacon Academy. The gathering of the people aming all of the four kingdoms to indulge in each other's culture, the Vytal Festival.

Additionaly, the most awaited and celebrated event of the festival is the Vytal Tornament, a collection of fights between teams of all the Huntsmen Academies culminating in one on one fights. Weiss thought to get ahead of tge crowd and take a look around at the other teams. Although she really hopes there are particualar people taht she wouldn't need to enter in combat with.

As per obligation of camadery, her team cane with her at the docks which Ruby complained that smelled like fish. Kumagawa and Itami tagged along to see if they can finnaly any of their old friends. Both Kujira and Takachiho remained at school to begin experimentation with the rare Grimm specimen they aquired in the Forest of Forever Fall.

Itami:You think any of them came?

Kumagawa:[I doubt they'd miss it. We can know if Medaka-chan is close just by how loud she usually is.]

Itami:That's true!

Weiss:I hope not.

In their way they passed by a newly robbed shop. The police was still investigating the place, but the theft was a really weird one to say the least.

Kumagawa:[They left the money, but grabbed all the dust. Heh, it's unlikely this is a simple theft just for the need of wealth.]

Itami:Oh, someone must be planning something big!

Weiss:Most likely the White Fang. That group of thugs.

Blake:I think your judging to harshly. They're not psychopaths, just misguided.

Weiss:You do realize that you defend a group who's goal is to wipe out the human race?

Blake:Well, then they're very misguided.

Kumagawa:[Eh, they're not the worst out there. I did meet Adam-chan a few times. I like him.]

Weiss:...That statement should be proof enough.

Their conversation was put on hold when they heard several screams. They turned their heads to see a boy climbing a pillar with a banana in hand. There were several policemen on the ground screaming at him to get down.

The boy had blonde hair and golden eyes. He was clearly a monkey faunus, evindence being hus yellow monkey tail and general demeanor. His was was Sun Wukong.

Sun:Hey! A no good stwaway would've been caught. I'm a great stowaway!

Kumagawa:[He's got a point.]

Ruby:He does.

Sun eat the banana and threw it's orhganic sheath on the policeman's face. His monkey screams only seemed to anger the officer more.

The faunus quickly jumped down and began running from the officers. He passed by the Beacon students on his way and winked at Blake, which was meet with a simple stare. However, he had managed to to gain much more of a reaction out of Weiss.

Weiss:After him! We need to catch that riff-raff.

Her team took heed of her words and began to run after him. On the other side of the group, Kumagawa and Itami walked in a calm manner after them.

The two abnormals found the team with two achievments. One, they lost Sun. Two, Weiss bumped into a girl. The Ice Queen seemed to have finnaly noticed the position she was in and got off the girl.

The girl had orange hair and green eyes. Itami couldn't shake off tge feeling there was something familiar about her, but Kumagawa noticed she wasn't a ordinar human from hiw netalic the girl's scent was. Her name was Penny Poledina.

Weiss:I'm terribly sorry! Are you alright?

Penny:I'm in perfect condition.

Yang:...Do you wanna get up?

Penny:...Yes.

Penny leaned on her hands and jumped up on her feet. Sge looked at team RWBY, but they took a step back a little weirded out by her.

Penny:My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!

Ruby:Hi Penny! I'm Ruby.

Weiss:I'm Weiss.

Blake:Blake.

Yang:...Are you sure you didn't hit your head?

Blake hit her stomach with her arm to stop her before saying something even more stupid. Yang took the hint and began again.

Yang:Oh, I'm Yang.

Kumagawa:[Kumagawa Misogi.]

Itami:Koga Itami here!

Weiss:And...We need to go.

They slowly walked away from her to go on with their bussiness. However, Ruby has decided to bide her farwell.

Ruby:Take care, friend!

Yang:Well, she was...Weird.

Penny:What did you just call me?

The normals jumped back in surprise at her sudden apparition. While her tone might sound threatening to most Kumagawa could only feel curiosity abd excitment from the robotic girl.

Yang:Oh, I'm...Gosh, I'm so sorry!

Penny:Not you. You.

Penny pointed at Ruby, making her very confused. The young Rose became even more uncertain wgen she got closer.

Ruby:I...Uh, I...

Penny:You called me friend. Am I really your friend?

Ruby:Uh...Yeah, sure!

Penny laughed a bit and took Ruby in a hug. The Red Ridding Hood themed girl wasn't sure what situation was more confusing, this or the one with Kumagawa in the Forest of Forever Fall.

Penny:Sen...Sastional. We can now sleep together, pqimt out nails, braid each other's hair and talk about cute boys like Kumagawa there.

Ruby turned her head to Kumagawa at her words with uncertainity. Although the girl wanted to ask for help through her eyes she took the time to analyze his features in a little more depth, especially the consuming blue eyes that seemed to stare at her very soul right now. Ruby quickly turned her head away with a blush.

Penny:Oh, I remember now!

Ruby:Huh?

Penny:Kumagawa, I knew that name seemed familiar. There are two team leaders from Atlas that were actively looking for you.

Kumagawa:[Really?]

Penny:Yes. Both Kurokami Medaka and Chobusaki Gagamaru were quiet eager to meet you.

Kumagawa:[See? Told you they qere here.]

Soon Blake and Weiss engaged in a heated argument about the White Fang once again. Kumagawa and Itami decided to leave, feeling that this will take long. Although they saw Blake running away from the school in tge cover of the night.

The next day Blake meet Sun and she talked to him about the White Fang. Both the history of the organization as well as her part in it.

Blake:The worst part? It was working. We finnaly were recognized. But not out of respect, out of fear.

Kumagawa:[Well, fear can be a really strong drive fir any sort of intelligent creature.]

Both Blake and Sun jumped at the sudden voice. They looked at the middle of the tae they sat at to see Kumagawa sitting there wither a cup of coffee and a plate of cookies.

Sun:How...

Blake:For the three hundred fourthy eighteenth time. Stop doing that!

Kumagawa:[So, am I to assume you're going to check out the shipping going on tonight?]

Blake:...Yes. I...I need to see it with my own eyes.

Kumagawa:[I see...]

The have staled the shipment in that very night. Sun came to them with some apples.

Sun:Want some?

Blake:Do you alwais take the propriety of others?

Sun:Weren't you part of a cult or something?

Blake leveled him with a glare. Sun turned his head away, not even attempting to meet her cold gaze.

Sun:Sorry...

Kumagawa:[Do you have any dark red one?]

Sun:Yeah, here.

A bulllhead soon descended and from it came out several White Fang members. They began to take Dust cargos to ship them to their ship. Soon after a man came out of the bullhead, watching them with a serious face.

The man had orange hair and green eyes, some bangs covering one of his eyes. His demeanor as well as his outfit simply screamed smooth criminal, a thing which Kumagawa quickly recognized. His name was Roman Torchwick.

Roman:We're not exactly the most subtle thiefs out there, fellas. So would you hurry up and get them going before some second Red destroys this haist too?

Blake:It's true...I guess I alwais knew, but...Why? The White Fang would never work with that kind of person.

Blake planned to get behind Roamn using the darkness and her stealth skills. However, that plan was quickly blown off by Kumagawa.

Kumagawa:[Oh, is that Roman-chan? Hey, Roman-chan!]

Roman:Hm? Kumagawa? Long time no see!
