The Child of Grimm (Rewritten)

Chapter 1: The Vytal Festival

(Opening Theme: RWBY V3 Opening-When It Falls Performed By Casey Lee Williams)

"Ladies and gentlemen, team RWBY will be moving onto the doubles rounds!"

It was finally here, the Vytal Festival for one and all to see! Everyone was excited about it, the students from the different academies had been especially excited. Mostly because of the tournament taking place. They were not only given the opportunity to represent their own school but they got a chance to show off in front of a crowd far and wide. All the students and people from different places and academies cheered loudly as they would watch the Huntsman and Huntresses in training engage in combat with one another. The one team, that had been the most excited out of all the rest, had been team RWBY as they had just one the fight against team ABRN from the academy of Mistral, known as Haven.

Ruby let out a groan as she slouched where she stood, "Is anyone else starving right now?"

"I may have worked up an appetite." Blake said with her hands behind her head. Though the four of them jumped when they had heard a loud growling sound, coming from Blake's stomach had been heard; she placed her hands on her stomach as she looked embarrassed.

"Oh gee, if there was only some place on campus where we can get food." Weiss said.

Though Weiss had been sarcastic with her words, as they had been standing at the center of the fairgrounds, where many concession stands were seen standing and where the crowds had gathered as to take a break from fighting; many people won prizes, went to buy souvenirs or just by a snack.

"Oh... Wait a minute." Weiss said gesturing to the fairgrounds.

"It's okay Weiss." Ruby said putting a hand on her shoulder, "I forget about the fairgrounds too."

Weiss sighed as she shook her head, "... I was just being facetious."

"Well if you were hungry, why didn't you just say so!?" Ruby shouted as she threw her hands up in the air.

"Come on, I know just the place to get the bite!" Yang said before she went ahead, eventually the group had followed behind her. Just as they turned the corner they were stopped by a familiar voice.

"Hey!" It said, "It might be hard to eat without this!"

The group turned and saw that it was one of their friends, a girl named Emerald Sustrai who had been holding onto Ruby's wallet, which took her back a lot. "Oh gosh, no, no, no!" Ruby exclaimed as she had a fearful expression.

Emerald couldn't help but laugh at the expression she had, "Good to see you Ruby." She said before handing her wallet back to her. "Thanks Emerald." Ruby said, "I guess I must've dropped it. Girl pockets are the worse!"

"What's up Em?" Yang greeted with a smile.

"We just left the stadium after your amazing fight!" Emerald replied, "You guys were awesome!"

At this Ruby's face turned red, "Oh stop it! You're making me blush!"

"I heard that your team progressed to the doubles rounds too." Blake added.

"You know, I feel like we've never seen your teammates." Weiss pointed out.

"How did they do in the fight?" Yang asked curiously.

-Earlier-

Emerald and Mercury fired a couple of rounds on two of the opponents causing them to fall to their knees before they were kicked out of the ring, putting them out of the fight. As one of them went to charge, Cinder countered by kicking him right in the stomach causing him to fly a few feet before he hit the ground hard. He opened his eyes and saw that a girl with black hair tied in twintails wearing a gothic outfit stood over him.
