Ozpin's office
Ozpin: we find ourselves here again, why is it that we only get together at trouble times?
Ironwood: because people will stop at nothing to take a maidens power.
Glynda: so what have you found?
Winter: this (puts a usb on the table). This contains a virus that can corrupt any system and give full control.
Ironwood: ozpin... This was found inside your personal computer, meaning someone broke into your office and controlled the robot like a puppet master would use a puppet.
Ozpin: how is this possible? Glynda and I have been here nearly all day yesterday.
Ironwood: we suspect this was planted weeks if not months before.
Glynda: so why must the school be shut down? What are your reasons.
Winter: of course we have reason goodwich, we have to shut down your connection to us to slow down the virus and prevent it from affecting the military's weapons control or worse.
Ironwood: till we can figure out how to remove it of course. We will send someone to retrieve it.
Ozpin: that easy to corrupt a robot, then just what else can they control?
Destroyed White Fang HQ
lliam: so just what else can we control? Our castle has fallen, our followers have abandoned us. Do we even have allies?
Adam: yes we do lliam! I never wanted for peace among Faunus and humans. I want Faunus to be the only dominant species. To achieve this, I have been forced to negotiate with Salem herself.
Lliam: then you are more of a fool then I thought.
Adam runs fast at her and pushes her to a wall holding his blade to her neck.
Adam: we will built a new army and take our long waited revenge on the humans. Salem will provide us with all the necessary supplies.
Lliam: ugh ah- what about Blake? (Adam releases her)
Adam: she had her chance. No longer will I show mercy.
The walk towards Ruby and yang's house was a short one with little to no conversation as everyone was in deep thought trying to figure out why things were the way they were. After a few more minutes, they arrive as yang pulls her key to open the front door.
Yang: we're home, come on in.
Qrow: where's your dad?
Ruby: out of town on business.
Blake: you sure you have enough room for 9 people?
Ruby: yes we do, we will be upstairs and the guys will take the couch.
TRND and Qrow: w-wait a minu-
Weiss: that seems fair. Show us to our room. (RWBY run upstairs)
Qrow also takes his leave by going to the fridge to grab some beer and sits on the couch.
Qrow: eh, just pick a spot and get comfortable.
TRND takes a seat that the dinner table to discuss.
Nikolai: I believe this attack was meant for us. I didn't think much of it, but I did see metallic bugs with lens for eyes when we first arrived.
Takeo: we nearly lost today. I cannot tell who would have won the fight, but I know we were pushed to the very edge.
Richtofen: how do we begin our search? Our search for answers.
Dempsey: we start tomorrow; sticking with RWBY is our best option than to run of in an unknown world.
The next day
Everyone is out of the house and ready to head to town... But
Qrow: I need to head back with jimmy. I will not be joining you.
Yang: alright, we're just heading into town to try and see what we can find.
Qrow goes the opposite direction from them.
Finally taking their leave, both teams get in deep conversation along the way.
Richtofen: you come from a military family Weiss.
Weiss: just my sister, I was spoiled growing up until I myself saw what war is. Now I run from my family fortune.
Richtofen: running away is something I understand well, I was not born with a silver platter. I was raised in an orphanage.
Weiss: you never met your parents?
Richtofen: a smart man took me and thought me many things. My mentor, my teacher.
Weiss: is he the person who got you into science?
Richtofen: yes, now I like to know how things work before I use any item.
Weiss: the only benefit of having wealth was that I could get a higher education. You know... How would you like to go inside one of the laboratories that we have.
Richtofen: to expand my knowledge and learn things that I thought impossible. Is a dream come true?
Weiss: with some strings pulled I can make that happen.
Richtofen: I would like that.
Yang: you hit hard Dempsey, who thought you how to fight?
Dempsey: my neighborhood was not the cleanest or the nicest. Just survival
Yang: though times made you into the person you are today.
Dempsey: what's your explanation?
Yang: we used to have more neighbors growing up. Our dad didn't want defenseless little girls.
Dempsey: what happened to the neighbors?
Yang: they were eaten by hungry Grimm.
Dempsey: all the more reason to be a fighter. What of your mother?
Yang: my mom left us and became a smuggler. (Begins making frowning face)
Dempsey: I want a rematch.
Yang: you want to go again.
Dempsey: we need to settle the score.
Yang: you're on. (Frowning face gone) ((punches his shoulder).
Blake: since I was little, I always protested for equal rights. I was so desperate for change that I ran from home and joined an extremist group and followed someone who took lives for his personal agenda. The fighting never ended.
Takeo: I too followed someone blindly and without question. As my recognition grew, his petty jealousy drove him to send assassins to take me away.
Blake: I didn't know
Takeo: I learned to let go of my past, and look forward. Can you?
Blake didn't know how to answer that.
Takeo: know this Blake, you are not alone.
Blake: thank you Takeo.
Ruby: and that's how we defeated the horseman.
Nikolai: haha, well Ruby now I understand why you are the leader of your team. You have never ending potential.
Ruby: I do what I can; we look out for each other.
Nikolai: it took us a long time to trust one another. We met as enemies.
Ruby: well my team was chose through initiation, living in a room as roommates and practicing in a secured environment made it easy to get along. Why were you enemies?
Nikolai: each of us were sent to the exact time and place by our former... Tribes that were at war with one another.
Ruby: you tried to kill each other?!
Nikolai: oh yeah many times, many many times. It also didn't help that we Kept secrets from one another.
Ruby: tell me how you ended up here then?
Nikolai: that's a really long story. Maybe some other time, I don't want to go through it now.
Finally arriving to town, the 8 take to the streets and begin their search to find out who has infected the military's system. They go through every dark alley and talk to common known snitches. Some of them refused to talk and even attempted to fight back, the fools who did this ended up having a little "chat" with yang and Dempsey's fist. No real progress was made as our heroes decide to go to beacon and talk to ozpin. However little did they know that a umbrella wielding multicolor hair girl has been following them ever since they started the search.
Takeo: this place is far different than the home we left behind.
Richtofen: I know what you mean takeo, to walk so casually without having people stopping you for identification or simply because you looked suspicious.
Nikolai: this is the future that I... We fought for.
Dempsey: Im thinking of retiring here someday.
Weiss: maybe it would be best if we have each other's scroll number.
Yang: definitely we should. (Pulls out her scroll) what your number?
TRND: scroll number?
Ruby: you don't have scrolls? That's ok guys I'm sure the school can provide them for you.
Blake and takeo feel a presence, like a shadow stalking them and turn to one another to see if they were the only ones who felt it.
Takeo: me too Blake, me too.
Blake: we should pick up the pace.
Weiss: I'm ordering a carrier right now. (A smaller sized one)
And like that a carrier ship lands in front of them with open doors. RWBY enters first and leave TRND behind as they are unsure.
Ruby: well come on before the doors close.
TRND step inside with caution.
Yang: what's wrong? You get air sick?
Dempsey: it's not that, the 4 of us actually rode a drag- ahh I mean winged Grimm before.
Richtofen: but never a ship likes this.
Weiss: heh, this one time Nora did the same thing, but with a large Grimm that she rode from its back and rammed through hundreds of smaller Grimm.
Blake: well look at the Window and take in the view of Vale. Probably the best one you can get.
TRND take in the view in amazement of the glorious kingdom of Vale.
Richtofen: who is driving this ship?
Yang: all automatic.
Richtofen: well then I have a lot of homework to do.
Nikolai: tell us about this professor ozpin.
Ruby: he's really old and wise.
Weiss: he's more than that Ruby. No, professor ozpin has spent "lifetimes" protecting the kingdom just like every headmaster does in their own school. Always ready to train the new generation.
Yang: yeah but right now we're on summer break.
The ship starts to land and everyone gets of as the ship returns to its station. As they enter the building, a real creepy vibe takes over the place as most of the lights were off and none of them have been around beacon when nothing was in progress. A few more minutes of walking later, they make their way to the elevator leading them straight to the top.
Ozpin: HaHaHa! Ahh it is good to catch up my old friend.
?: am I the old one "old" friend.
Hahaha
Glynda: gentleman we should really get back to the point of this get together.
Ozpin: yes of course, thank you glynda (takes sip of his coffee mug). Well I am happy to say that yesterday's incident did not cause major destruction and no one got hurt in the end. However we are still trying to figure out who was clever enough to even break in my office or ironwoods.
? : Well I can't thank you enough for providing a roof over my students heads. I'm sorry we have to leave real soon back to Haven and leave you like this.
Ozpin: that's quite alright. The real reason I called you here is because of this (lifts usb).
?: Ah yes the virus that caused this to begin with. I take it Winter told you to give it to me then.
Ozpin: I know we will remove it in time.
A knock on the door could be heard. Glynda is the one who walks over to open it.
Glynda: children, I did not expect to see you here. Anyway this is not a good time.
Ozpin and? Turn towards the door
Ozpin: nonsense, please do come in and let me introduce you to Headmaster of Haven academy professor Lionheart.
Lionheart: there they are the 4 who impressed us all. (Goes to greet them).
Weiss: oh why thank- (but Lionheart is not referring to RWBY and passes them).
Lionheart: I would like to skip the formality and go straight to the point. How would you like to be enrolled to Haven academy for the next semester?
Everyone: what?!
The news was an utter shock to everyone, especially towards RWBY who didn't want to see their new friends go just yet. For sure TRND didn't want to go ether, but that didn't stop a persistent headmaster from trying.
Lionhearth: I didn't attend the fight, but I saw the recording. Accept my offer and have your professional hunter license in short time.
TRND Still uninterested and quite tired of his rambling look at one another to make sure their all in agreement. Richtofen speaks first.
Richtofen: as intriguing as that sounds.
Takeo: we have no interest in what you have to offer.
Lionhearth: I must have mistaken then, I thought you wanted to be hunters. Such a shame, I shall take my leave now.
Lionhearth storms out of the room without even saying a word leaving an awkward silence for a full minute. Ruby breaks the silence.
Ruby: so we were wondering if you could give us 4 new scrolls for them.
Glynda: is that all you require? (Ruby nods).
Glynda opens a cabinet drawer and pulls out the scrolls and walks toward each member of TRND handing them out. TRND begin to mess around with the device attempting to understand it with little to no success. RWBY tried to hide their smiles at watching them pressing all the buttons without knowing what it does.
Nikolai: how do you work this contraption?
Dempsey: is this suppose to be some fancy new walkie-talkie?
Yang: pfft! No. Cmon I'll show you what to do.
Blake: maybe later, we're getting sidetracked.
Weiss: that's right, we need to compare notes.
Ozpin is the one who speaks first telling them about the reason the school has been shut down and why this is more problematic than just taking control of all technology.
Ozpin: your personal files of where you live and who you interact with on a Regular basis. The ability to track soldiers and students no matter in what kingdom they hide.
Weiss: professor we tried to get answers and we don't have much say.
Ruby: just that some guy was listened in on 2 people rambling about how soon they will walk the streets taking over everything.
Blake: we think we know who they are based on their description. A dark skinned green hair woman and a dirty silver hair one with mechanical legs.
Glynda: Mercury and Emerald fit that description. They did pose as students before and must have studied our own security to enter Ozpin's office.
Ozpin: the best thing we can do is keep watching and remain vigilant. I will tell Ironwood and winter who their target is.
Ruby: what what about uncle Qrow?
Ozpin: he does things his way.
Some random bar in a shady part of town
A red portal opens and from that, a woman with a long sword wearing a white fang mask enters.
Qrow: now it's really the end of times.
Raven: oh come on I've done bad, but I'm not a monster.
Qrow: your my monster sister.
Raven: cinder attacked my fortress, she killed many.
Qrow: you need my help? You are in need of me?
Raven: not yet I'm not, I'm here to repay an old favor.
Qrow: and what's that?
Raven: the witch is back.
Qrow: N-no, your own daughter along with her team stopped her forces from resurrecting her power.
Raven: I know that! She can't do much now, otherwise she would have slaughtered us all.
Qrow: then we really are in trouble.
Author's Note: sorry for the long wait for the second chapter. i know this one is not as action packed as the other one, but i would like to start setting up things that are to come in the future. Please leave a review and pm me if you want.
