Chapter 26: Vegeta Stakes his Pride as a Saiyan! Truths Revealed for Everyone!
A blanket of tension coats everyone on the beach. You, however, still floating over the water, are out of the blanket's cover. You're more confused than anything else.
"Fight you? Why?" You fly towards the beach and land, just out of the range of the tense cover. "I think it would be a lot more fun if you tried-"
Vegeta raises his hand towards the group, unleashing a Ki blast that purposefully weaves through them and connects in the forest, shaking the island and eradicating a small section of its forest.
"HEY!" Yang hollers.
The other members of RWBY get into a fighting stance, putting themselves between Vegeta and their friends. Sure, the team isn't even the slightest match for the Saiyan Prince, but they have a lot more of a chance at surviving an attack than the others 
Crystal's confusion is displayed by her eye movements. The defensive stance RWBY takes, the cruel nature of Vegeta, your calm manner... it's all so perplexing.
"Isn't he your friend? Why would you want to fight him?" Crystal, having not gotten an answer, looks to the prince. "Why would you hurt us?"
"Silence, insect," Vegeta coldly replies, not even looking at her. "I will defeat this low-class wretch and prove that I am the strongest Saiyan."
"Don't talk to her that way!" Weiss barks. "You have no right to be this rude to people who helped you.
Vegeta momentarily looks at Weiss, the woman who dares backtalk him. But she's so insignificant that he doesn't deem her worthy of argument.
"Saiyan?" Crystal repeats. "What is that? Your team?" She focuses on you, who's still deadlocked on Vegeta.
"He's an alien, remember?" Jaune answers.
"An... a what? Alien?" Crystal shows a little frustration at that claim. "That's mean, he's a Faunus!"
Jaune looks back at her, quickly piecing together that she doesn't know anything about what's happened recently. He's aware that she perished and was brought back by wish-granting balls – a story Ruby told very eagerly – but had no idea your very nature was hidden from her.
"Why would you say something so mean to your friend? Is that... just a joke? Cause he's a little silly," Crystal half-heartedly smiles, attempting to remain cheery in this situation.
"Now fight me, Kail. I won't miss next time."
You frown at Vegeta, though not viewing his threat as anything serious. "That's not a very nice way to ask, Vegeta. You know I'm always up for a good spar," you switch to a smile. "Besides, you should know you wouldn't land a real hit on them."
Vegeta frowns at the remark that you're just so much stronger that you render his threat mute. But... "This isn't sparring. I want you to fight me with everything you have. Fight me with all that power you fought Frieza with!"
"Frieza?" Crystal repeats, her head tilting to anyone who could answer her. "Wait, who is that? Someone at Beacon? But what's with this alien stuff? Nobody answered me," she looks to Jaune first, then the others. None of them answer her, but the look in their eyes make her question everything. "An alien... is a joke."
"Don't worry, Vegeta's just a big ol' grouch," you smile at your dear friend. "Nothing to worry about."
"I'm right here," Vegeta snarls.
"Right, right," you return your attention to him. "So... a real fight, huh? We haven't gone one-on-one in a while. Okay, let's go!" You end with a smirk, blasting off into the sky and far away from the island and towards the sea.
