Hello! Another post, another freakin' chapter! I've been wondering for a while, so I decided! Charli's going to get a little mixed into the action of the canon! Before going into the story, try to guess which part she's going to be in first! Try not to spoil yourself if you really want to answer for yourself. If you do? Start reading on! :)

So… this will be something else. Enemies will be amped up because of Charli's presence. And when it comes to RWBY, all that makes the difference, is something out of the norm… and in one case… magic. Ohohohoho! Here we go with this one! :)


"The World Welcomes You"

It was late night and the shattered moon was as bright in the night as ever. The Kingdom of Vale is quite peaceful, or so a lot of others think, but it was about to get more interesting, as the real events surrounding the present and future were about to occur.

Charli was flapping the wings on her back as she quietly flew over the city of Vale. She has hear earmuffs on for the sake of her cover, and if she wants to get on the ground to walk. But it was so late that even she doubts it would happen. But then, she looked at one spot in the city and her purple eyes glowed, which on her view enhances her vision. Magnifying what she sees, she was seeing a suspicious group of people, all human in nature. One of all the people wearing black suits and hats, was wearing white with a derby on his head and having orange hair. She assumed the 'white-suit' is leading the group. She saw them head towards a Dust shop, and she knows there's bound to be trouble. Dust is something of value, especially when it comes to ammunition and the uses by huntsmen and huntresses around.

She landed at a roof just across the Dust shop and stayed in an area that isn't shone by the moon's light or any source. Finding a vantage point, she observes the situation from the higher ground, seeing the human suspicious group enter that Dust shop. Folding and letting her wings disappear, she narrows her eyes as she confirms what she thinks of the situation. They're going to steal the Dust off the shop. And she looked around to find a ladder and headed there.

Sliding down the ladder and now on the ground, Charli headed towards the side of the Dust shop entrance. There were open windows, so she has to be careful before she exposes herself. She peeked at the window and saw the suspicious group state their intentions to the spooked shopkeeper. She puts one side of her earmuffs aside, and listens with her elf ear.

"Ssh-ssh-ssh… Calm down. We're not here for your money. Grab the Dust." The man who was believed to be the leader, was indeed the leader. Soon some of the black suits started to act and does as intended. Having tubes in their hands, they start to slide Dust into their containers. There were long tube containers of powdered Dust inside the shop as well. The group even started to grab the Dust stones from the shopkeeper's glass shelves as well.

While some of the black suits were looking around, Charli knew she had to intervene. Not only was Dust a commodity, but it was also some of the towns and cities' lifeblood. But before she even made a step, she didn't hear much of a conversation at the back of the store when she highly sensed one of the black suits being thrown to a wall. Confirming the group had a problem, the "white-suit" sent one of the black suits to go after their problem… only for their problem to grow into a bigger one. Charli prepared herself as she stayed beside a window. Seeing the new suit beat up, he was thrown towards the window, and it shattered. Time slows down and she grabs the man's neck, throwing him across to the nearby wall beside her, knocking him out. It's really happening, she thought. She covered her exposed elf ear with her earmuffs. And eventually, she saw the mystery figure from inside the shop. The red silhouette had a cape, was pale in her skin tone, has short black hair styled with her right longer, carries a red and black themed scythe, and for temporary purposes, had headphones hanging on her neck. Charli could hear music coming from it while the red-theme silhouette makes a stance with her scythe weapon and gets into a defensive position. The music clicks off, and it starts to make Charli curious. This girl she was seeing seems young, but she's in a daring situation. With Charli's back on the wall and arms crossing the other, she observes.

Three black suits come out of the store to face her, as expected. With the young red-themed figure ready, she uses the scythe to maneuver herself and kick the first man she sees near her. For the rest of the time she was fighting the men, she wiped the floor with her agility in using the scythe with both as a melee and a powered gun, and tried her best not to even slice one of them. That made Charli's observation all the more interesting, seeing the red themed figure managing herself as she took on the men getting close. Then Charli sees some black suited men running down from the nearby road with Dust-round pistols. Well they're playing dirty, Charli thought. She got off the wall and went towards the intercepting group before bringing out her Dust Tactical Knife. Briefly pouring in light blue to white colored powder onto the hilt of the weapon, a small blue glow starts to light up its jewel. Looking back at the men with guns, she starts to activate her DTK, and her blade turns into a long-whip, with Ice energy emanating from it. "Hey there," she said before she got the attention of the men with guns, before she spun and struck one of them, grabbing his weapon and freezing it before pulling it to her and swinging it towards another man, knocking his head and body down in the process. The remaining man fired his weapon at Charli and she was quick to see it before she moved in a zip, dodging rounds a few times, and jump-kicked his head first, knocking her target down. One of the men recovered and got up before he drew a sword in an attempt to stop her. As he charged, he swung and he missed, and swung again before his arm was caught by Charli's free hand. She got behind him while he twisted his arm before her eyes glowed brighter and kicked his abdomen, sending his flying up, before she used her whip to grab his arm with a growl from her, and pulled him, making him fall hard to the concrete. Retracting her whip with her DTK, she snorts.

Eventually seeing the red-theme figure finished with her group of men, the "white-suit" and the figure face off.

"Well, RED. I think we can all say it's an eventful evening!" The group leader said this, taking a cigar off his mouth and letting it fall to his feet before he puts out the cigar's flame with his cane. "And as much as I like to stick around…" He had a smug look on his face as he brought out his cane, which turned out to be a weapon, since he had a cross-sight at the bottom end of it, which he aimed at the figure. "I'm afraid THIS… is where we part ways." He then fires a fireball of sorts towards the figure. As Charli reacted to run towards them, she didn't notice there was a flash grenade rolling at her, as it blinded her in its small explosion. She grunted at this. This was at the same moment that mystery figure jumped to evade the round, letting an explosion come to the road below her. The figure lands to look at where that "white-suit" was, and Charli was just recovering from her temporary blindness and shakes herself out of it, just to find that man was gone. Then she thought of something. That man was perceptive. Before she was blinded, he smirked at Charli before he threw something.

And that made Charli all the more pissed off. He knew I was there to take more of his lackeys, she thought. She looked around, the same as the figure, and she saw that same man climbing a set of stairs. She then yelled to the red-themed figure… "THERE!" She pointed towards the man, and the girl's attention was pointed towards the same direction thanks to Charli's help. As Charli headed to the Dust shop, she figured there had to be someone bound to guard the place, but someone has to go after the guy. Then Charli looked at the figure. "I'll lock this place down before the cops get here. You should get him."

The girl in the red smiled and nodded. "Name's Ruby if you're asking. And thanks." Turning with a serious emotion, she saw the shopkeeper come out of the store. "You okay if I go after him?" As she asked, he grunted a YES and with no doubt, she went after the man just as he reached the top of the ladder.

With Ruby going after the man, Charli had her duty and went to the shopkeeper. "It's a Dust shop that needs protection. Lucky for you, I like Dust." She said this to calm the shopkeeper down and at least make him smile. "Mind if I look inside?" As she asked, the shopkeeper nodded and with politeness and respect, gets into the shop. Finding that the shop was undamaged, she still noticed the tubes and the small Dust case left behind. This group is certainly after the Dust and not the money. Hm. For them to do this, that man has a serious pay for a job like this. After she had her thoughts, she then walked to another part of the shop before she heard distant explosions. Then there was a sound of a strong swoosh in the air in sync with an aircraft engine. Gunfire was also heard from afar, and recognized it's from Ruby's scythe. That girl certainly has guts.

Time had passed and it was a very early morning. Charli knew she needed the sleep, but she slept for some hours, and making sure she woke up for an early interrogation. She was headed to an interrogation room in the Vale police department, but it wasn't the usual cops who would interrogate her, but Glynda Goodwitch and Professor Ozpin. As soon as she saw Professor Ozpin alone and just at the other side of the glass, she smirked at him. "Big trouble, huh?" She asked this to Ozpin. She saw him preparing some cookies and a warm drink for the morning and knew he'll have a long day ahead of him.

Then Ozpin replied with a soft chuckle, acknowledging the presence of 'Earmuffs Charli', which a nickname, rang in his mind. "You may think it's an understatement. But once it hits your face, it is very annoying to say the least." He sighed, before looking at her while he worked on the snacks. "You've been there. It's certainly something we should be concerned of."

Charli sighed for what her reply would be. "I tried low-profile, but it won't work if you're in an open space, and if you need someone to protect. I'm not an assassin."

"You're not, but you should still be careful. This world is filled with its own dangers, but the world isn't ready for-"

"Elves and magic. I know, Ozpin." Charli winced and covered her mouth, feeling embarrassed. "I'm… I'm so sorry!"

"No no, it's fine." Ozpin was considerate, knowing Charli's place as a huntress-to-be, and someone who's completely different from a Human and a Faunus. "The only problem I'm having is this girl."

"Ruby. She's awfully young to be a huntress trainee. But she's skilled with that weapon… the Scythe."

"Then I know what should be asked. At least… if you'll be there, I could at least let her be more motivated to speak with such a friendly face."

"Shucks. Friendly? Me? Hm. No thanks."

Ozpin shrugged and grabbed the tray of cookies. "I see. Well… You're free to go."

"So… Vale Police won't charge me?" Charli asked out of curiosity on Ozpin's words. "They're unwise, I think."

"I don't think so. After all, huntsmen and huntresses have some benefits, even if they're in training. Besides… I pulled some strings. Now, I suggest you get some sleep. You have a big day ahead of you." Ozpin said this before he walked into the room where Ruby should be in.

As Charli sighed, she left the room and the station before looking around where no witnesses are. Spreading her wings magically wide, she jumps and flies off towards Beacon.

Though some hours later into the morning…

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…!" Faerin was excitingly eager while in her pajamas in the room she slept in with Charli as her roommate. She had stars on her eyes, signaling her eagerness of what she heard from Charli. "YOU'RE A HUNTRESS TRAINEE IN BEACON, AND YOU ACTUALLY STOPPED A ROBBERY BY YOURSELF! OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE SO COOL!"

Charli was seated on her bed, face-palming. "I didn't do it by myself, Faerin. Jeez. I had help."

"Hm? Really?"

"Yeah. Someone named Ruby Rose. Probably not something you should consider lightly, but Ozpin confirmed that Ruby isn't a huntress trainee in Beacon. But she wiped the floor with the robbers. I had to help since some of them had guns. Her skills with the Scythe she carries? That caught his attention."

"Chances are, Ruby could be drafted in."

"Hm. If I knew Ozpin a little better especially with how I got off the hook, I think that's the case." Charli smiled and chuckled before she stood up.

And Faerin was a little stunned at Charli. "You and Professor Ozpin seemed close for one day."

"Let's just say there are some things we agreed upon. After all… what you saw that day at the shore wasn't a normal thing. It can betray what you know. But I want to keep things to myself, until the right time."

Meanwhile in the City of Vale, a brown-haired semi-tanned teen with silver eyes was walking a smirk on his face. As he recently passed by an appliance shop, he saw the headlines of Roman Torchwick's plans foiled after an attempted robbery at Vale's Dust shop.

He chuckled and muttered. "Looks like my services can become of use after all. Torchwick might be an associate, but he is trash. He's nothing. Hopefully, Cinder will understand." He smirks as he walks away from the appliance shop, with thoughts in his mind. Understand? I think she'll be laughing. Next thing to do, is attempt to find them.
