One Week Later
"Goodbye everyone! I'll see you once the village is safe again!" Velvet waved, with the rest of her team returning the wave along with Teams JNPR and RWBY.
"Stay safe Velvet! Call me if you get into trouble!" Blake called, while Coco made a heart sign with her hands. Velvet blushed and straightened her beret. She returned the symbol as the helicarrier took off, sending Velvet and multiple crates of supplied off towards Kakos Village.
"Ms. Scarlatina, could you please take a seat? There are some storms on the way there, and I don't want you to get hurt." The pilot asked, the voice very familiar to her.
"Jazzy? Is that you?" Velvet asked, poking her head into the cockpit to see her cousin waving back at her. "Jazzy! You made it into flight school!"
"Yeah, I heard about a flight scheduled for a 'Ms. Velvet Scarlatina' and I immediately jumped on the waiting list to fly it. Since I'm family, I got priority!" Jazzy replied, patting the seat next to her. "Sit!"
The flight went by quickly, despite the few hours it was scheduled to take. Velvet and her cousin, whose actual name was Jasmine, talked almost the whole way there.
"Whoa, these guys hate the Faunus? Why are you helping 'em then?" Jazzy asked, approaching the landing pad set out by the Kakos residents.
"Well, I'm a huntress, my job is to help people. I'll see you soon, hopefully!" Velvet replied, grabbing her bag and holding onto her beret as she hopped off of the helicarrier, multiple residents already cluttering the landing pad.
"Are you the huntress they sent? You don't look much like the description." A short man said, handing her their 'professional illustration' of the expected huntress, who turned out to be much shorter than her, and not a Faunus.
"Well, most of the administrators at Beacon are very tall, so my height was probably exaggerated." Velvet replied, turning to see Jazzy unload multiple crates of water, food, and farming supplies.
"Well, we're glad to have you anyways. Our village is dying of hunger at this point, we can barely feed ourselves, let alone keep off Grimm." Another man said, this one tall and frail. "How rude of me. My name's Alphonse, and this is my brother Steven."
"I'm Velvet, pleasure to meet you." Velvet said, shaking both men's' hands. "I only have one rule for me helping you guys. The beret stays on."
"And why would that be?" Steven asked, crossing his arms.
"My sister died guarding a town from a Grimm invasion, so I was it to remember her." Velvet lied, completely fooling the townspeople.
"Fair enough, thanks again for helping us." Alphonse said, pointing to a tall building. "That's the main housing building, you're booked for the first floor."
"Thank you, I'll get set upright away." Velvet replied.
