"Team RWBY are coming back!"

That's all Jess could hear the minute she entered the cafeteria the next morning. At first, she thought it was some big joke. She had idolized Team RWBY ever since they attempted the defend Beacon from it's fall. She always was inspired by them. And yet, now that many people where talking about their return, it made her wonder whether it was real or not.

She knew Team RWBY had spilt up after the fall of Beacon, but did that mean that because Beacon was rebuilt, they were back together again? Jess hoped so. She had always wanted to meet the fearless team. She sat down with the rest of the team, a small smile working up upon here face.

Blythe, however, seemed to be thinking differently. Her face fell the minute she had heard the excited chatters from table to table. She sat down next to Ube, a frown fixed upon her face.

"Did you hear?" She mumbled. "That Team RWBY are coming back?"

Jess and Ube nodded excitedly, while Loki just smiled.

"Yeah. Cool, isn't it?" Loki said, while signing an autograph for one of her fellow fans.

"Why so glum Blythe?" Ube asked curiously. "The one and only Team RWBY are coming back to Beacon!"

Blythe shrugged. "It's just... Oh, nevermind." She turned and looked away.

"Blythe, is something... bothering you?" Loki raised one eyebrow as she took a sip out of her coffee.

"It's nothing." Blythe whispered. "L-Let's just eat our breakfast and go up to our dorm and finish the essay which Professor Port assigned us."

"Aw, come on Blythe!" Ube whined. "I promised Jenni that I would help her with her invention!"

Blythe rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. "Oh, okay." She sighed. "Jess? Loki?"

Jess turned bright red. "I-I was going to see Ollie, actually. I mean, if that's okay with you?"

"Nah, the essay isn't due in five weeks. We have time. Besides, I want to see what the whole of the commotion is about." Loki explained while twirling a lock of her long, golden hair around her index finger.

Blythe shoved her breakfast away from her, and looked down at her palm.

"Blythe-" Ube began.

"I'm fine." Blythe got her feet. "I'm fine guys. I-I just need some time alone." She strode back to the dorm, leaving her confused teammates behind.

"What's up with her?" Loki asked.

Jess shrugged. "I don't know, but something's not right..."

Five Years Ago

BOOM!

"Father, what's happening?!" A much younger Blythe looked up at her scared father, shuddering in fear. "Father?!"

Howard Amra didn't say anything to his daughter, he just held her close. Blythe's mother, Yasmin Amra, took a step back from the door. "Howard, whatever is going on?!" She screamed.

BOOM!

"H-Hide you two!" Howard Amra stuttered. "Take baby Ben with you as well!"

"No, Howard! We won't hide until we find out whatever is going on!" Yasmin shouted sternly.

The sound of a baby crying came from another room, and the whole Amra family was shaking in fear.

BOOM!

The door came crashing down, and members of General Ironwood's military came rushing in, closely followed by a much younger and handsomer General Ironwood himself, along with Jacques Schnee and Winter and Weiss Schnee.

"HOWARD AMRA! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR WORKING FOR SALEM AND STEALING DUST FROM THE SCHNEE DUST COMPANY!" One of the members of military shouted, aiming his gun at him.

Howard shuddered in fear, and looked back at his family with sadness in his eyes. Yasmin stared back at him in disbelief.

"W-What are you talking about?!" He yelled. "I would never do anything like that!"

Jacques  frowned. "That is hard to believe Howard. You and your little family have living on the outskirts of Atlas for twelve years. No matter what, your family has always been poorer and weaker than the others. No doubt you'd want to steal from my own company!"

Weiss looked up at her father. "I'm pretty sure they would never do anything like that." She said.

"Weiss! You are forbidden to get involved with this conversation! And, if you are to get involved, you are on our side!" Snapped Jacques while slapping Weiss on the cheek.

Weiss clutched her cheek and looked up at her father in fear. "You..." She whispered. "You... you-!"

"Either way Howard Amra, you are under arrest!" Shouted General Ironwood.

Howard sighed.

"Father, please don't do this!" Blythe begged.

A teary eyed Howard bent down and hugged his daughter. "Stay strong Dodger-Bly." He whispered. "I'll miss you."

He got to his feet and kissed Yasmin on the cheek. "You were the most beautiful person in the world Yasmin. I love you." He said. "And tell Ben that he is the best son ever."

Yasmin nodded while wiping the tears from her eyes.

General Ironwood grabbed Howard by the arm, and led him out of the house.

A shocked Weiss followed them, glancing back at Blythe and her mother as she walked away.

"Blythe? Are you alright?"

Blythe quickly snapped back into reality, and saw Nav standing before her.

"Y-Yes." She whispered.

"You don't look it." Nav sighed while sitting down next to Blythe and he wrapped his arm around her. "Come on, what's bothering you?"

Blythe sighed. "Nav, I used to live in Atlas."

"That's bothering you?"

"No, not that. You see, it's my father."

Nav looked at Blythe with worry in his eyes. "Is he alright?"

Blythe shrugged. "Who knows." She wiped a tear from her eye. "H-He got arrested back when I was twelve and was accused for doing two things which he didn't even do."

"And what were they?"

"Stealing dust and working for S-Salem." Blythe stuttered.

"Aw, Blythe." Nav hugged her. "I'm sorry to hear that."

Blythe sighed. "And, it's just, now that Team RWBY are returning, I just feel worried because Weiss is part of Team RWBY and her father was Jacques and she probably doesn't like me and-"

"Hey, slow down Dodger-Bly. I'm pretty sure Weiss will like you. I heard she doesn't get along with her father."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so there is nothing to worry about. Team RWBY are all super nice. They'll love you, I'm sure of that."

Blythe smiled up at Nav and kissed him on the cheek. "T-Thank you Nav."

"No problem. I think Team RWBY will be arriving soon. Come on, your teammates are all worried about you. Like, super worried. Let's go see them, okay?"

"O-Okay." Blythe sniffed, and went to go see the rest of Team JBLU with Nav.
