Shadows seem to have no heart, no feelings, no emotion. Yet Shadow Joker Strife is different, his heart had been changed, after seeing his family killed in front of him. He attends Beacon Academy to train so he can protect those he cares about. Fate...
Ruby: Jaune sure had his act and leadership role improve.
Weiss: Even still, he's acting more of a strategist than a fighter.
Rinoa: It's part of his style, and it's something that's worth something.
Yang: Well, at least Pyrrha has his back when it's time for combat.
Shadow: Yep, but he'll be able to learn how to fight.
Blake: Soo...who's the next fight?
Amber: I believe it should be Sun's team.
Shadow: [This will go very quickly down hill if there are girls on the other team.]
Meanwhile at a Bar...
A gray-haired figure in a tattered red cloak is sitting at the counter with a collection of empty glasses to his side. He takes a swig from another drink as he looks up at the screen above, displaying an image of the victors with the caption "Team JNPR Defeats Team BRNZ!"
Bartender: *as he wipes the surface of a glass in his hands* Huh, those kids weren't half bad!
The familiar stranger merely lets out a "Meh" as he raises the beverage back to his lips. The door opens as Soldier of some kind walks in with blonde hair, black combat gear, and a huge blade on his back as he takes a seat.
Bartender: What'll be good sir?
???: Mako Sunrise, no ice.
The bartender nods as he heads to the back as the gray haired figured turns to the Soldier.
???: Never heard of that drink before...sounds like a spin.
Soldier: It's a homage to my brother...he sometimes would come here for one.
???: What was his name?
Soldier: Zack...Zack Strife.
The bartender returns with the Soldier's drink. It's a blueish color with the inside bubbly like a soda. The Soldier drinks a few sips before continuing his conversation.
???: So...why come here?
Soldier: I've come to look for his son...and daughter.
???: Are you sure they are here?
Soldier: That's the thing. I haven't found them yet... *sips along with the grey figure*
???: I see...So you're just stopping here for a drink.
Soldier: You could say that...*finishes his drink* Anyways I'll get going. Nice talk pal.
The Soldier begins to walk away, putting the Lien required to pay for the drink on the counter. He stops at the door as the grey haired customer stops him with a question.
Qrow: Name's Qrow...what about you?
The boy turns to Qrow, his blue Mako eyes looks at him with a "not interested" face before responding.
