"Well Miss Rose you will need a place for your new team" Ozpin said as he lead the team into a high tech dorm capable of being called a command centre
"So this is now our new base huh?" Sun asked flopping down on a coach
"Feet off Mr Wukong!" Goodwitch scolded the Monkey Faunus with her crop
"This is sensational!" Penny said going over to the massive computer and started using it; bringing up many applications and programmes.
"Wow the door to the personal quarters has their owner's insignia on them!" Jaune exclaimed amazed
"Cool" Nora squeed
"Oh my; is that?" Ruby gasped seeing the area she was in
"A top of the line armoury and workstation? Why yes it is even better than the Beacon Student Forge. Personally I feel like this little project is set to fail; but this is the first time in the last few months that you've been happy since the dissolving of Team RWBY" Goodwitch said as she observed the forlorn student who stopped going all fangirl over the armoury.
"Have you been tracking them?" Ruby asked
"We are, we've tracked Pyrrha and Weiss back to their homes but we lost track of Blake" Goodwitch said
"And Yang?" Ruby asked.
"It would be better if you didn't know about her" Goodwitch said
"That bad?" Ruby asked worried
"Unfortunately, your sister had a lot of potential; but now she has begun to waste it" Goodwitch said leaving Ruby with her thoughts.
'Yang where are you, even though I haven't seem like it in the past when we were a team with Weiss and Blake I needed you and I still need you. I don't know our I'm going to get through this without you here to guide and comfort me, like you have in the past' Ruby though tearing up, suddenly she felt a tender hand on her shoulder. Ren stood behind her smiling softly as he saw the pain, hurt and confusion in those silvery eyes of hers and knew what she needed.
"I Know I may not be Yang, but if you ever need to talk" Ren said smiling before Nora softly wrapped Ruby in a hug
"You know that applies to all of us right?" Nora asked in a sisterly manner
"Yeah Ruby, you are our friend, leader and surrogate sister. If you need to talk to us or everything, we'll be there for you" Jaune said smiling
"Right" Ruby smiled. She turned to the doors of the personal quarters seeing there were five spare doors.
"Hey guys, if we only need to recruit Weiss, Yang Blake and Pyrrha, why is there a fifth door?" Ruby asked.
"I'm not sure; someone Ozpin wants us to recruit?" Ren asked looking at the fifth door.
"okay so time to debrief" Ruby said as the team gathered around a holographic projector in the recreation area, Penny controlled from the main computer. She brought up an image of the Abomination they fought on the projector
"Enemy designation: Abomination, first enemy target of Team Avenger and what brought us together. So what did we know about this thing?" Ruby asked.
"First thing is that it was a Dust enhanced person. They gave him armour like skin by imbuing it with Iron Dust. A type of dust that is used for reinforcing defensive walls and barricades" Sun said.
"The other main type of Dust is Fire or Burn dust. We still don't know why he was infused with Fire Dust, possibly to help with move with the Iron Dust" Ren said.
"What do you mean Ren?" Ruby asked.
"The veins acted as a channel for the Fire Dust, now if the Abomination's skin was infused with Iron Dust, then he wouldn't be able to move. Making him basically a non-decomposing human statue. Now the minute amount of Fire Dust would be able to heat the skin to a point where it would be strong but it would be malleable, meaning he could move and fight" Ren explained.
"So what now?" Nora asked sipping a drink.
"We find out who wanted this thing unleashed" Ruby said looking at the hologram.
"Wait; what's that on its back!" Jaune asked.
"I don't see anything" Penny said
"Magnify on the area where my hands is" Jaune requested.
"You got it" Penny cheered. She did what Jaune requested as was shocked about what she found.
"Is that?" Nora asked, her eyes imitating a cartoon owl's eye
"A dust dispenser! That must be how the fire dust got into his veins!" Ren growled.
"and it seems to be covered in some kind of cloaking device" Sun added
"Okay I'm curious who exactly made this thing!?" Ruby exclaimed.
"A branch of the Schnee Dust company" Penny said looking to her partner Sun who nodded.
"Like I said the company was a part of the Schnee Dust Company. Its Defense contracts were handled by this company: they only referred to it by a codename: Krieg" Sun explained
"Krieg?" Ren asked.
"I know that on: the code name's Krieg because of the Battle of Krieg Cove. During the Faunus Revolution it was a small military out post which was assaulted by General Dragoon: A Fox Faunus who was a brilliant tactician. People on both sides admired and respected him; however when he attacked the outpost a soldier named Blitz Strum mounted a counter attack with a dozen men. They somehow held out until Dawn when the Faunus' vision was switching from night to day and captured Dragoon. When asked about his first defeat, all Dragoon said was that he did not expect to face a human with such determination and courage" Nora explained.
"When did you?" Jaune asked.
"Oobleck's third class" Ren answered.
"But why would they install a dust dispenser?" Jaune asked
"To probably maintain the fire dust in his veins" Ren said
"Okay, so what do we do if more of these things come at us?" Ruby asked.
"We'll fight them head on!" Nora said before a siren sounded.
"What we got Penny?" Ruby asked heading over to the screen
"Bank robbery, a dust bank to be precise, looks like Torchwickers" Penny said
"Great Torchwick, and knowing him he'll be ready for resistance" Sun said
"But he won't be ready for Avengers!" Ruby said
"Let's go!" the team said
"we'll need a personal transport though" Nora said
"I think I've got that covered" a voice said as in walked
"Professor Ozpin?" Ruby asked
"Yes miss Rose I take it you know about Roman's latest attempt to gain a large amount of Dust?" Ozpin asked
"I do" Ruby nodded
"Then I think you'll be needing this" Ozpin said leading the team to a hangar where a sleek sliver and white jet stood.
"That is the Hunter's Wing! An advanced aircraft capable of getting you in and out of mission areas, whether it be Forever Fall or Vale City this jet will take you any and everywhere" Ozpin explained
"Cool, so who's flying?" Jaune asked
"I will" Ren said taking the keys off Ozpin and headed up the ramp.
"Excellent choice Ren" Ruby said following him up the ramp
"Let's go!" Nora cheered
"I'm combat ready!"
"We have switch those girls to decaf" Sun deadpanned.
"Okay so this is the Vale Dust Vault, the largest depository of dust crystals in Vale" Ruby explained looking at the screen inside the Hunter's Wing as the group travelled to the location of their next mission
"I have got to say Roman must have gotten some big brass ones after the two teams dissolved for him to do this" Sun said.
"Now he'll face us the Avengers!" Ruby said
"Coming up on mission area" Ren said
"Any civilians in the area?" Jaune asked
"Just the guards but we can recover them when we trounce Torchwick!" Ren said landing
"Alright team let's go!" Ruby said running down the ramp followed by her team.
"Come on hurry up the police will be here soon and that means we'll have to fight them and waste our precious energy to beat them" Roman said puffing on his cigar as his thugs stole several cylinders of dust and containers of Dust crystals, he picked one up and examined it
"Beautiful, I could almost cry" he said
"Soon you will be" Ruby said appearing on a pile of crates
"RED! How have you been, word was you've been moping around since your team broke up and dissipated" Roman chuckled.
"Yeah, well I have a new team now AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" Ruby shouted as the others took down several thugs, majority belonged to Nora who smashed her hammer into them sending flying into the back
"What the hell?" Roman exclaimed ducking Jaune's sword and Sun's staff "Well, well, well if it isn't Bananas! How has it been since I last blasted you in ash?" Roman said opening fire only to be blocked by Jaune.
"You know twerp I hate knights! So only thing to do is turn them into days!" Roman said ripping Jaune's shield away from him and destroyed it by blasting it when it landed on a piece of burn dust
"NO! that was a family heirloom!" Jaune said as Sun pulled him into cover
"We'll get you a new one" Sun growled as he seperated his staff into his gunchuckus "Wait here" Sun said as he leapt out of cover and started attack Torchwick.
"Penny duck" Ruby said swinging over head of her friend who was just using two of her swords, she attacked low while Ruby attacked.
"Don't worry Ruby I'm" Penny said
"I kno, I know your combat ready!" Ruby joked.
"Quite right" Penny said punching a thug as another one went flying over head
"DUCK!" Ruby said her pulling down
"NORA!" Ren was heard shouted
"She's quite energetic isn't she Ruby?" Penny asked deploying all of Puppeteer
"You can say that" Ruby shrugged.
Nora jumped into the air before slamming Maghild into the ground creating a shockwave, which Ren then chose to ride firing concentrated bursts of Aura at the thugs he was targeting with his Storm Flower handguns. He felt something behind him, he shifted his gaze behind him and saw a goon with a mallet about to splat Nora
"NORA BEHIND YOU!" he said defending his best friend
"Huh, thanks Ren" Nora giggled knocking him out.
"No problem, just as long as you're okay" Ren said panting before Nora kissed him on the cheek.
"Wow, Nora" Ren smiled.
"Come on I think Sun and Jaune need help" Nora said racing off
"Does she think of me more than a friend?" Ren asked before racing after Nora.
Jaune and Sun were in trouble with dealing with Torchwick who was peppering them with dust shots.
"How many things does he have in that damn cane of his?" Sun asked
"We're surrounded by dust, for all we know he has infinite ammo!" Jaune barked.
"Give it up Roman you're outnumbered six to one," Ruby said arming Crescent Rose's sniper rifle mode.
"You know I play like that Red, so let's say some time next week?" Roman asked as a rope descended, which he grabbed and was lifted into the air.
"Farewell" he laughed getting away
"I swear if that guy had a moustache, he would be twirling it by now" Penny growled.
"Right now we should head back home and debrief about this situation" Ren said
"Good idea, Avengers let's go home" Ruby said
