《A sith dies, A huntsman rises.》Criminals

Advertisement

Team JNPR and team RWBY sat together during lunch, discussing their favorite Professor.

Ruby: I like Professor Skywalker the best!

Yang: You just enjoy his weapons class...

Ruby: What? No... Maybe.

Ren: Well, it's certainly better than Mr. Ports' speeches.

Nora: Oh, Oum yes!

Pyrrha: I wonder... who would win a fight, Professor Port or Professor Skywalker?

Weiss: Oh, Professor Skywalker of course!

Jaune: Well... Port's still a fully licensed huntsman.

Blake: Yeah, but Skywalker took down an entire white fang base by himself, and is anyone forgetting the video of him killing the goliaths?

The team all remembered the video of the armored man they now knew as Professor Skywalker effortlessly kill the Grimm.

Pyrrha: Yeah... but it is sad how he lost everyone.

Pyrrha remembered the conversation they had, how he said to stick close to your friends. It must have been terrible to lose everyone you care about.

Their attention was drawn to team CRDL picking on a poor Velvet.

Cardin: I told you these were real!

Sky: What a freak!

They all laughed at Velvet before being floated up into the air in surprise. The attention of the lunchroom being focused on them.

Cardin: What the - !

Vader: Mr. Winchester, if you'll kindly avoid harassing your fellow students, that would be greatly appreciated.

Vader said appearing in front of the students, who spun in the air in response to him having his hand raised.

Vader: Now... If you'll kindly report to detention after classes today I will meet you there.

Vader then set them down on the ground, knowing better than to pick a fight with a teacher the boys all grumbled and went back to their table.

Vader: Are you alright, Velvet?

Velvet: Y-yes, thank you, Professor. They just bruised my ear a little bit.

Vader: Here, allow me.

Vader extended his hand towards her ear, she felt a tingly feeling as the bruise healed, and eventually disappeared. Velvet thanked him before standing and walking away, Vader bowed and summoned his tray of food to him before walking out of the cafeteria.

-The skip of time-

Vader sat in his classroom his tray of food, now empty seat next to him as he tinkered with his arm. Vader heard the door open, whoever did enter radiate nervousness.

Vader: Can I help you with something Glynda?

Glynda: (face turns red) A-ah, well, I have a question for you Vader...

Vader: Yes? (waiting for her response)

Glynda: Would you like to -

Glynda was cut off by her and Vader's scroll buzzing checking it, they read the most recent notification.

Vader: Well, that will have to wait, we are currently needed in the cafeteria.

Glynda nodded as Vader strode past her, she silently cursed to herself before following suit.

Vader using the force slammed open the cafeteria door's seeing team JNPR and RWBY engaged in an incredible food fight. There were smashed tables, food everywhere.

Both teams turned to face Vader, who simply had his arm's crossed and a very angry Goodwitch.

Glynda: Children, please, do not play with your food.

Vader then raised his hand removing Team JNPR from the wall, while cleaning up the mess left behind by the food. While Glynda began re-forming tables that were broken.

Glynda: They're supposed to be defenders of this world

Ozpin: And they will be. But at the moment they're still children.

They looked over at the two teams helped each other up and cleaned themselves off before laughing and exiting the cafeteria.

Ozpin: ...So why not let them play the part. After all - it isn't a role they'll have forever.

Glynda sighed and looked at Vader, who was finishing up the mess left behind by the food.

Glynda: Vader... I wanted to ask... maybe we could go get coffee tonight?

Vader turned to face her, his smile making her slightly blush again.

Vader: Very well. Where shall I meet you?

Glynda: A-ah well, there's a nice place in town we could meet? I could send you the address.

Vader smiled again and nodded, continuing to clean as GLynda walked away with a smile on her face. Look at me, she thought, I'm acting like a schoolgirl that had just been asked out by her crush. Well, she looked back at Vader, not all of that is completely false.

-Timewarp-

Vader sat in his robes, deciding that he didn't need to wear his armor, Vader had worn simple robes that were incredibly similar to a Jedi's, but it felt off not wearing his armor in public. He still had his lightsaber clipped to his belt, deciding he should take it as a precaution.

Vader saw Glynda walk around the corner, seeing that she was just wearing her normal attire. Vader felt overdressed and wondered if he should have just worn his armor. As Glynda sat down, he could see that she was clearly nervous, Vader could sense her emotions, but even he didn't need that as he could see that her body was occasionally twitching.

As time went on, Vader and Glynda chatted about their past, what they think about the new students earning a few laughs from both of them, Vader observed how Glynda slowly relaxed as she sipped her coffee, she was about to speak when Vader's scroll went off.

Vader: Hello?

Blake: Professor! We need help we're being chased by - argh! - keep running Sun!

Vader: (stands up) Where are you now - ?

Vader was cut off as Sun and Blake ran by being chased by a giant mech, Yang driving behind them on her motorcycle.

Vader: I'm afraid I'll have to cut this short.

Glynda nodded as Vader launched himself using the force, he followed suit as the mech chased Sun and Blake down the highway. Vader landed on an abandoned car, using the force, he pressed down on the accelerator, chasing after.

Yang was punched by the mech, sending her straight into a pillar. She tried to get up but collapsed in response.

Ruby: Yang!

Ruby ran to her sister's side while the rest of the students tried to hold off the mech, but failed in the end.

Roman aimed his cannon at the two sisters preparing to fire.

Roman: Sorry Red, end of the line.

Suddenly the arm was jerked to the left, firing into the sky. Roman looked at it quizically.

Roman: Is there something wrong with this thing?

As Roman examined the arm, a lightsaber flew out of the mist. It sliced through the arm, separating it instantly, making a thud when it hit the ground.

Roman: What?!

He turned to follow the lightsaber's path, he watched as a man with brown hair caught the lightsaber and held it in a defensive position.

Roman tried firing at Vader with his other laser cannon, Vader smirked and began twirling his blade, deflecting each laser bolt right back at the pilot's cockpit, severely damaging it.

Vader retracted, and pushed with an incredible amount of force. Launching the mech back, crashing into a wall. The mech tried pointing it's arm at Vader again, only for him yank it out of it's socket using the force.

Clipping his lighstaber to his belt, Vader lifted the mech while using two arms. Once it was in the air, Vader began moving his hand's together. Metal creaking was heard, as the mech began crush into itself, Vader then moved apart his hand's incredibly fast, tearing the mech in two.

Roman crawled out of the mech, dusting himself off but quickly exclaimed in shock as Vader slowly moved towards him.

Roman: N-Neo!

Vader felt a presence speed towards him from his left side, switching hands with his lightsaber. Vader saw the same girl speed towards him with an umbrella. He slashed left separating the umbrella in two, then with his robotic hand, grabbed Neo's neck lifting her off the ground.

She struggled, pounding on his robotic arm to no avail. Vader only tightened his grip making her arm's drop.

Roman: Neo!

Vader: Still having children doing your dirty work Roman? I expected better from you.

Vader stabbed Neo straight through her chest, his lightsaber piercing straight through, then Neo's body shattered into a thousand pieces.

Vader: Another mirage.

Vader watched Neo pull Roman away as they ran. They looked back at the powerful figure, the looks of terror on their face very apparent.

Vader walked over to the wounded hunters and huntresses in training. They looked at him in shock before Ruby spoke up.

Ruby: P-professor Skywalker?!

Vader: (smiling) Hello Ruby.

Vader extended his hand, using the force, he concentrated on each member. Repairing their aura and healing them.

Blake: T-Thank you for saving us.

Vader: As your teacher, it is my duty. Now... I would return back to Beacon before Ms. Goodwitch catches you out here.

Weiss: Thank you Professor.

The group walked off, waving to Vader, he waved back in response.

-Jump in time-

Several days later, Vader was sitting in his classroom, teaching.

Vader: Now, as you remember the assignment I gave you last time, was to think of an improvement for your weapons. Mr. Arc, why don't you go first.

Jaune: Uh, well, I had this idea where instead of my shield just shrinking all the way, it forms into a sheath, where I can store my sword.

Vader: Very good.

Vader continued asking students about their improvements, Jaune sat down with an exhale of relief. Pyrrha gave him an encouraging thumbs-up, then leaned her head on his shoulder, his face turned as red as her hair but paid attention to Vader, remembering last time he talked to him.

Jaune: Uh, Professor?

Vader: Yes, Jaune?

Jaune: I was wondering, could you give me some lessons on how to sword fight? I-I would like to improve my fighting style.

Vader: very well.

Vader and Jaune began sparring, Vader would easily overpower Jaune, but as Vader was watching, Jaune was improving. He was able to actually engage with Vader.

Vader: Very impressive Jaune... tell me, why are you doing this?

Jaune: W-well... I just wanted to improve my fighting technique.

Vader: Very well.

Vader: (looking at Pyrrha and Jaune, Good job Pyrrha) Now, finally Mr. Winchester, what is your idea for an improvement?

Cardin: I had this idea of my Mace extending from a chain for more reach.

Vader: Excellent... Now class today we are going to Emerald forest, I have sent a list of Grimm you need to kill with your weapons. I will observe and intervene if you get overwhelmed. Let's go.

Vader strode out of the classroom, the students following suit once they changed into their armor.

Vader stood at the edge of the forest seeing the last students arrive.

Vader: You must complete this list by the end of class. It is acceptable if you complete this list with the help of your teammates. Begin.

Vader said raising his hand, the students ran into the forest splitting into their respective teams.

Vader pulled out his scroll observing each student.

Team JNPR walked through the forest their weapons drawn. Ren reading off the list of Grimm they needed to kill.

Ren: each of us needs to kill 8 beowolfs, and 3 ursa's, Alpha beowolfs count as double, so do ursa majors.

Nora: Well that seems incredibly easy.

Jaune: I don't think he wants us dying while on this assignment.

Nora: Look! Over there!

Nora pulled her grenade launcher out firing a round, exploding a beowolfs head easily.

Nora: That's one!

Each of their scrolls buzzed, they pulled them out and pressed the answer button.

Vader: I forgot to mention something, the first team to finish will be receiving extra credit.

Team JNPR looked at each other before sprinting to find more Grimm.

Ruby was chasing a fleeing beowolf when a white sword stuck out its head.

Ruby: Jaune!

Jaune: Sorry Ruby! Gotta be quicker.

Vader watched this go on from his scroll, observing the two teams competing to get the highest score. Vader smiled when he saw Pyrrha and Jaune interacting, atta girl, he thought, knowing Pyrrha took his advice to heart.

Once the two teams finished they all sprinted back to their professor. Team JNPR winning barely, but they stopped celebrating when they saw team CRDL already standing there.

Cardin: Seems we won the competition, what say we celebrate after Nora?

Nora: What?! No! Gross!

She said clinging to Ren's arm, who got an evil glance from Cardin.

Yang: Where is our professor anyway?

The three teams looked around, then saw their professor land on the ground lightsaber activated, the teams stared at him until they heard a nevermore screech.

They looked up seeing the nevermore flying above. It began launching feathers at Vader, once they got close to Vader, he extended his hand stopping them mid-air and sending them back at the nevermore. Screeching in pain, the nevermore came crashing to the ground, which it was finished off by Vader. Having finished that, he shrank his helmet and placed it in his pouch.

Vader: I apologize for being late class, as you could see I was somewhat preoccupied. Now, what team was the first finish?

Cardin: Our's sir.

Vader: Very well, let me double-check the footage.

Team CRDL's face's paled, as Vader scrolled through the footage.

Vader: Oh, this certainly interesting. I see team RWBY and JNPR fighting Grimm. Great form, by the way, Jaune. But I don't see team CRDL anywhere.

Team CRDL looked away in shame as the two other teams stared at them.

Vader: Ah, I found them... Cardin, explain to me why you and your team are just sitting around eating berries, instead of killing Grimm?

Cardin: W-Well...Uh...Sir...

Vader: Cardin... you and you're team have two choices, one, you get no credit for this whatsoever and you're done for today like the rest of the teams. Or... you get back in that forest and actually complete the assignment.

Team CRDL looked at each other before sprinting back into the forest. Vader saying.

Vader: Be careful Cardin, I will not tolerate failure.

Vader then turned to the other teams.

Vader: You are free for the rest of the period, enjoy the rest of your day.
