The 'Lone' Hero of Vale (RWBY & Link)

Unnecessary Isolation

Beacon Academy: Cafeteria

Several weeks have passed since the attack in Central Vale at the hands of an unstoppable train, crashed into a dead end on purpose by Roman Torchwick and the White Fang, with the purpose of leading hordes of grimm Vale. The proceeding events led to a full on attack in the City but luckily students and professional huntsmen and huntresses were present at the scene to stop this from escalating any further and no innocent lives were lost. Although Roman Torchwick was captured, all of his White Fang associates were either killed or arrested during their suicide mission. The enemies were not the only ones who suffered however, as General James Ironwood decided to rogue and attempt to capture of Atlas Military's biggest target, the Beacon Academy one person team, Link. When refusing to surrender, the plans to capture him changed to killing the boy but his closest friend Ruby Rose showed up in the nick of time to stop this heinous act. Unfortunately, she lost her life in the process and the general was able to get a glimpse at this 'demon' locked up within Link, nearly resulting in him almost losing his life too had Velvet Scarlatina not interfered. Luckily for everyone, Ruby miraculously made it, a massive mystery where only she and Link are aware of how she pulled through. In the end, it was a mission that ended in partial success with the capture of Torchwick but everything did not go back to normal as changes immediately transpired within Beacon. Specifically around the social lives of team RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, even Sun and Neptune. They are all close friends and allies, it is business as usual for them but there is one name missing in that list. It is ONLY team RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, Sun and Neptune spending time together whenever they can, there has been no sign of Link within those few weeks...

But why?

Where is he?

What has he been up to?

And lastly...

Why isn't he interacting with anybody?

"WAKE UP LAZY BUTTS!" Nora slams her open palms on the table to generate a loud slap. "It's a bright sunny day, a good time to go out and have some fun, or stay here and have a blast inside the school. But SOME of you still look like you're ready for another round of sleeping!"

"We're awake!" Jaune's head shoots up from the table. "Sort of."

"Nora, just let him sleep." Ren sighs. "He had a long training session with Pyrrha last night."

"Y-yeah, only with Pyrrha." Jaune mumbles. "She's been pushing me even harder because with the tournament getting closer and closer, then our other sparring partner disappeared after consistently showing up to train with us. What's up with Li-!"

"SO." Pyrrha swiftly cuts him off as she is the last to arrive and sit down at the large table, the red haired huntress sits next to her team and cross team RWBY, specifically Weiss. "How is everyone doing on this beautiful day?"

"Could be better." Ruby mumbles as she yawns and dramatically stretches. "But it's okay. Weiss woke up early for... Um, I guess I forgot already?"

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Weiss gasps. "I'm trying to implement a strict regimen for us to be strong physically AND mentally. We can be the strongest but what is the point if-!"

"Blah blah blah." Ruby snickers. "I was kidding, Weiss. How could I forget? I was there. I still don't understand how waking up early is good for our mentality."

"Because! You dunce!" Weiss crosses her arms. "Waking up early sharp us stay on edge and having sharp minds is good for our reflexes."

"Is that scientifically proven?" Blake frowns
