Good evening, or morning, or afternoon... Hmm... Good (whatever time it is when you're reading it) readers, RWBYBlackFlames here with a new story for you, appropriately named A Screw Loose. Now, this is going to be a fun little story for everyone. Teams RWBY, JNPR and SSSN are sent to a mansion in the woods, what could go wrong? A lot, but I'm sure you'll find it enjoyable. I'm not going to spoil it, but Penny has a special role in this. Hopefully, you will enjoy. RWBYBlackFlames out!

Chapter 1

The Professor's Mission

"Good evening Ms. Rose, Mr. Arc and Mr. Wukong. I bet you are wondering why I have gathered you here today. I am pleased to say that your teams are getting their first mission!" said Professor Ozpin, earning some excited cheers from the leaders.

"*Ahem* Now, this mission is going to be a simple one. You are tasked with retrieving a relic from an abandoned mansion in the Forever Falls. The relic in question is a pendant with a silver crown on it." said the Professor.

"Why are all of us going then? Wouldn't this be a one team job?" asked Jaune, a bit confused.

"I'm glad you asked Mr. Arc. I never said it was easy, I just said it was simple. When you get to the mansion, you are going to have to find and retrieve the relic hidden in the mansion. There is also a guardian in the mansion, tasked with guarding the relic, and it will not give up easily. I know that no individual team can do it, as you WILL need more than 4 people, and that's why I have assigned this as a multi team job. There's also a reason why I've assigned Team SSSN, as you need to be prepared to fight with any ally and you can't become accustomed to just fighting with one other. It took a little work, but hopefully it'll be worth it." said Professor Ozpin.

"This'll be fun! I can't wait to let my sweetheart destroy that guardian!" said Ruby, in a little bit too loud voice, as now the other three were looking at her creeped out.

"Now, this mission has a few unique features that deviate it from the standard mission. First of which, you will NOT be able to use your Aura whilst in this zone. This is a result of the plants that inhabit this region that dramatically increases the amount of Aura you need to do anything, even healing a small cut will reduce your Aura exceptionally. Second, you will not be able to use your standard weapons. You will be in an ancient mansion that has existed for countless centuries, and I'd rather not fill out paperwork to the city on why it was destroyed. Everyone on all of your respective teams will be assigned a dust gun to use for the duration of the mission. There is an exception however. I have looked into it, and Jaune, you may continue using your weapon, as I don't think that your sword has the capabilities to destroy the mansion, or anything in it that's not an enemy, yet." said Ozpin as he stopped to take a sip from his cup.

"The Third part, and possibly the most important part is..." said Ozpin taking a pause. They leaned in, preparing for what the professor might say that is so important.

"The Third part is that the mansion is haunted" said Ozpin in a extremely serious tone. The three sweatdropped as they wondered if the professor was serious or if he was just messing with them.

"Okay then, now that we have all the details worked out, prepare your respective teams, as you will be leaving tomorrow." said Ozpin in a lighter tone.

"Uh, sir. Sage and Scarlet of my team are down for the moment, they got in a training accident. Nothing serious, but they won't be able to make it for the mission." said Sun.

"Hmm... It'll be alright, as long as no one else is out of commission..." said Ozpin as he looked at the other teams.

"My Team is A-Ok!" said Ruby.

"Likewise, my team has been waiting for this for a long time." said Jaune.

"Okay then, your replacement weapons will be in the armory. Now, before you go, can you send Pyrrha and Yang here, I need to discuss with them about their semblances in the mansion." said Ozpin as he sent them off.

"Will do Professor!" said Jaune and Ruby as they walked off with Sun towards the Armory. This was going to be an interesting mission indeed...

Good evening, RWBYBlackFlames here, and here's a new story for everyone. I hope that you don't mind having a small introduction chapter, as there's so much I want to write, but there's only so much I can do before making it a straight up oneshot. However, I shall give SOME spoilers. Enjoy, and Black Flames out!

"So this is the mansion we're supposed to destroy..."

"You dunce, we're NOT supposed to harm this building! Do you want Professor Goodwitch to unleash her fury on you?"

"Sorry! Jeez, learn to take a joke princess."

"Penny! What are you doing-"

"RUBY NO!"

"I can't believe this is how I'll die... In a closet with a person I hate covered in gravy..."

"Hey!"

"It wasn't supposed to end like this..."

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Welcome back P-001, what is the status?"

"Mission Complete"
