A/N: This is my first fanfic, but don't go easy on me in the reviews, I need honest feedback on my work. Also, this is primarily a AC x RWBY fic, however there will be references to other franchises and entertainment series. These will be indicated by asterisks next to the reference. Let me know if you don't want me to do this, and if you want longer chapters. By the by, this fanfic picks up right after Episode 7 of RWBY, and pretends the rest didn't happen. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

"Gooooood morning Team RWBY!"

"Aaaaaaaaaah!"

Weiss groaned as she nursed her side from collapsing to the ground for the umpteenth time. Blake growled and threw her wadded up blanket at their cheeky leader, while Yang simply gave her the most threatening glare she could muster.

"I thought we agreed, NO WHISTLES!"

"But this is an emergency sis, we have a assembly at 8:15!"

"So what?"

"So look at the time."

8:05 AM.

"Shit!"

"I call the shower!"

"Oh no you don't!"

Weiss scrambled to the bathroom, Yang at her heels. Blake sighed, and resigned herself to just combing her hair.

Team RWBY made it just in time for the assembly, with R and W clean, chipper, and ready, B buried in a book, and Y with matted hair, crimson eyes, and the largest scowl ever to curse a woman's face. They took their place next to JNPR. The entire room went silent as Ozpin cleared his throat and stepped up to the microphone.

"As some of you are aware, there was a breach in privacy this weekend.", Ozpin began, "A hacker bypassed the security detail guarding our CCT, and made off with very sensitive information. Luckily, the thief left behind a clue."

A screen went on above Ozpin, displaying a medallion shaped like a weird sort of triangle, with two sides curving inwards, and the last curving outwards.*

"You were all told your first mission would begin today, but instead of choosing your objective, all of you are assigned the task of gathering as much information about the thief this whole week in Vale. Get on it."

######

Team RWBY disembarked from the airship, and began to talk with JNPR.

"Where are you guys planning on going Jaune?"

"Well, we were going to just wander around the town looking for that weird symbol anywhere."

"Seems legit."

"Legit, right!"

As the two teams continued their chit chat, they failed to notice the mysterious hooded man, watching from a distance...**

A/N: Well, so that's it, my first chapter. Now, for the references!

*I'm not too good at describing things, so look up the Assassin's Crest on Google Images if you aren't a fan of the series.

**Yes, I threw a Tobuscus reference in there. If you don't watch his channel, try him out, he's super funny! The videos that reference came from are his "Assassin's Creed Literal" videos. Check him out!

That's all, peace out!
