RWBY: Faith Restored (Book 1)

Blood and Snow

"This is it! The final round of the Teachers round! The crowd is certainly excited for this one, Peter!" Doctor Oobleck exclaimed which prompted Professor Port to answer "Ho Ho! Indeed Barty! After Vacuo's Professor Simon Bernhard crushing defeat at the hands of Winter Schnee, this one will be possibly the closest match ever!"
The crowd cheered as they watched Dracula step into the arena for the final round of the Teachers round. His gaze was upon the Atlas teacher whom was revealed to be Winter Schnee. Dracula cursed "Coșuri de rahat" He walked towards the center where Winter held her saber and her left hand was behind her back as she stared down the King. She narrowed her eyes as she gripped her saber. "Just going to try and punch your way through this fight?"

Dracula furrowed his brow before using his left hand to make it look like he's gripping an sheath and his right hand moved before a sword handle appeared. He gripped then pulled to reveal the blade. The blade was a broad sword around 5 ft. in length and 6 inches in width. The handle was of red leather with a red ruby studded at the butt of the handle. He held the blade with just one hand and spoke "I have some class, Winter."

Winter gave a quick snarl before speaking "You may now have control of the company and legally adopted Weiss as your daughter and made Mother fall in love with you, but I will not be easily convinced. So I have a proposition for you. If you can defeat me, I will recognize you as Father. If I win, you will be my Butler for a month. What say you?"

Dracula gave a smirk as he held his hand out to her and she shook his hand as a sign of the deal accepted. The arena revealed itself to be an ancient temple filled with moss and greenery and the second half was revealed to be a volcano.

"3 2 1 Begin!" Doctor Oobleck announced quickly which prompted Winter to swipe at Dracula who quickly brought his sword up to block and move to go in for a cut. Winter swiped the sword away and charge at him.

Yang spoke "My moneys on Vlad." Ruby looked at Weiss "Weiss, are you going to take that action?" Weiss shook her head "Even I know not to make bets when I know who will lose." Blake looked at her before joking "Wow, a Schnee who won't throw out her money." Weiss rolled her eyes at the joke and showed Blake the middle finger who simply laughed along with Yang.

Winter slid across the arena into the temple where she stood up and held her saber and watched as Dracula stood into form with his sword pointed towards her. "You are certainly a tough one, Winter." This prompted the eldest Schnee sibling to sneer and sprint after him as she started jabbing her blade towards him who simply dodged the jabs before catching the saber with his blade and swiping it until it was loose from her hand and flew up and Dracula kicked her in the chest which launched her into the wooden temple. She growled and stood up to see her saber pierced into the wood next to her head.

She ripped the saber from the wood and moved out from the temple back to the open where the audience could see them. She stared down the King who stayed still but kept his eyes trained on Winter. She sneered "You're toying with me." Dracula gave a smirk as he dragged the tip of the blade across the floor which caused some sparks to fly before disappearing. Only be in front of Winter and jab his sword at her chest in which she blocked it and continued making swipes and jabs towards the King who blocked and parried before making a cut on her arm and punched her in the face which launched her to the center of the arena and the buzzer rang. "This is it! The Teachers Champion is Professor Vlad Dracula Tepes!" Confetti shot out and the crowd cheered as Dracula walked towards Winter who knelt down with her sword holding her.

Dracula held his hand out to her who looked at it for a moment before taking the hand. Dracula pulled her up and spoke "You fought well, Winter. The Atlas military was meant for you." She looked at him and gave a slight smile as she spoke "You've clearly had so many years of experience. You fought valiantly... Father." Dracula smiled as he was finally accepted by the eldest sibling. Weiss ran up to Dracula and Winter and hugged them both "You both fought amazingly!" Dracula and Winter hugged her back.

Emerald watched from the stands as Yang and Sun danced around each other in the arena. "It's the final round of the Tournament!" Port exclaimed as Sun spun his staff around which kept Yang on her toes before she punched through the staff and broke them apart to become the gunchucks. At this point, Sun's aura was in the yellow. Yang clenched her fists as she dodged a kick and punched him in the stomach and launched him out of the arena and the buzzer rang. "Yang Xiao Long is victorious!" The crowd cheered as Yang jumped up into victory. Emerald smirked as she activated her semblance. Sun walked to her and held his hand out before lunging out to her in which she backs away and before punching his jaw.

An Atlas soldier watched the schematics when a beep made him look to see an indicator of a semblance outside the arena. He immediately radioed in "Semblance detected in Area 4 of the stadium! I repeat, Semblance detected in Area 4 of the stadium!" Dracula heard the radio and started looking around in the area to see nothing but he knew the only student with an illusion semblance. He growled and ordered the Atlas soldiers. "Get those two out."

The crowd gasped as they watched the unsportsmanlike act from Yang. Sun screamed as he held his face and looked at her and asked "What the fuck is wrong with you, Yang!? Why'd you attack me!?" Yang looked outraged and shouted "You attacked me, asshole!"

Several Atlas soldiers aimed their dust rifles at the two "Yang Xiao Long! Sun Wukong! Stand down!" Both looked confused. Before Dracula stepped into the arena and spoke "Yang, Sun! With me."

--------------------------------------------

"You're telling me, this Emerald chick who was from Haven made it look like Sun attacked me?" Yang asked to which Dracula nodded "Yes. She was a confirmed companion of Cinder Fall. Sun said how they never even saw the team before arriving."

Blake held her partner's hand as Yang was silently fuming for have her mind fucked with. General Ironwood spoke "Unfortunately, since we cannot tell the public as that would immediately make the infiltrators suspect to our knowledge. I have no choice to but to disqualify you." Everyone was outrqged, including Dracula who looked at General Ironwood "What!? This was due to outside influence!" The General sighed "The public are insistent and it would not change the opinion. I'm sorry." The General walked out of the dorm room to which Dracula clenched his fists to which drip with blood due to his sharp long nails. Yang looked up at Dracula "What will you do?"

The King looked at the blonde brawler before sighing "I don't know." There was a knock on the door to which Dracula opens to reveal Raven. She stepped inside to look at Yang and spoke "I heard and saw what happened." Yang looked away and expected a talking down but instead, she felt arms wrap around her. She looked to see Raven hugging her so she hugged back. Dracula spoke "Let's give these two some space."

Ruby, Blake and Weiss walked out with Dracula to which Jaune asked "Will she be OK?" Ruby spoke "Yeah, she'll be alright." Weiss said to Pyrrha "Pyrrha, will you win one for us?" The red head smiled and nodded "Absolutely." Blake said "I don't know about you all but I think I've had enough fighting for one year." Dracula replied "I concur. Though I think you should stay. I think Yang will want her... "Kitty Waifu." To which Blake blushed and rubbed her arm. Ruby and Weiss held hands and walked down the hallway. Dracula sighed as he knew something big will go down and he needs to be ready for it.
