Chapter 4: Team RWBY's first mission Part 1
All Weiss could see was darkness, she hopelessly looked around for any indication of her team while having one thought repeating in her mind "Where are they, where is Ruby".
Weiss still stumbling through the darkness, then a bolt came flying out of the tree tops piercing through her right shoulder, Weiss yelled in pain forcing her to drop Myrtenaster, she then quickly hid behind a tree to evade her attacker. She looked to her shoulder knowing that taking it out would cause her to bleed to death picked herself up muttering to herself "Ouch it hurts so bad, but I have to leave it for now," Weiss looked around the tree "No time to worry about the bolt itself I have to find who shot it", Weiss still looking at the tree tops, barely able to see in the darkness heard rustling coming from behind her.
Weiss quickly jumped out of the way as a figure jumped out and sliced the tree in two. Weiss tried to get a good look at the enemy attacking her, while slowly moving backwards towards Myrtenaster. Weiss tried to make out the figure in the darkness only making out that her assailant was a scythe user like Ruby but the scythe itself was different as it was a double headed scythe with a launching mechanism for bolts.
Weiss finally making it to her weapon she tried to reach for it with her left hand when one of her assailant's bolts hit Myrtenaster and knocked it further away. Weiss turned her attention back to the figure, Weiss was scared and thought to herself "Am I going to die here" then she hears Ruby calling to her "Weiss… Weiss" Weiss closed her eyes and wished to see Ruby.
Weiss awoke to see that Ruby was next to her, they were in a train heading to their mission. Weiss looked at Ruby to see her crying "Silly why are you crying" she said while still looking at Ruby. Ruby responded to Weiss "Because your crying you looked like you were in pain while you were sleeping" Weiss wipes away her tears and looks to the crying face of her partners "Thanks Ruby for waking me".
Then breaking the mood Yang spoke "Hey Weiss I think Ruby has something to tell you" Ruby looks at Yang blushing then Weiss asked Ruby "What is it Ruby?" Ruby told Weiss as an excuse because she couldn't think of anything else "Weiss do remember what Ozpin told us about the mission?" Weiss looks at Ruby disappointed "honestly Ruby don't you ever pay attention" then she let out a sigh and began to explain to Ruby.
As team RWBY stood around Ozpin's desk waiting to be briefed about their mission when Ozpin walked in with Goodwitch following behind, he began speaking as he walked to his desk placing a photograph on it "This man Peter Tanner calls himself an excellent tamer and is a traveling performer, we have gained the knowledge that he has been using a creature of Grimm that he had captured to cause panic to the townspeople as he steels all the Dust in the area". Ozpin then opened his top desk drawer and handed an envelope to Ruby "Your mission is to kill the creature and to find and retrieve the object used to control the creatures of Grimm, inside this envelope is the details for your mission to pass on to the police, good luck team RWBY you are representing all of Beacon academy in this mission".
Weiss looks to Ruby "You understand that we are representing Beacon so we can't afford to fail because we didn't know who we were facing" concerned as she thought she hurt Ruby's feelings Weiss put her hand on Ruby's shoulder "It's ok though, if we work as a team we will be sure to complete this mission" Ruby's expression became less embarrassed and more happy that Weiss trusts her as she excitedly hugs Weiss "Yeah this will be awesome" Ruby said happily.
Meanwhile back at beacon Ozpin is sitting in his chair and then Goodwitch approached him "Was it wise to send students, you know as well as I do that the other staff would have had no choice if you decided we should go" then Ozpin looked to Goodwitch and spoke "I believe that team has the potential to become great, this is there chance to prove themselves as students of Beacon academy".
Weiss thinking it felt like ages since they left and there still not there yet she turned to her teammates and asked "What time is it, when will we be arriving" since she was sleeping Weiss lost track of the time, then Blake answered her "it's almost noon we still have another 20 minutes until we arrive".
Weiss looks out the window and thought to herself about her nightmare "What does this mean, am I just anxious about the mission". While Weiss was stuck in her thoughts Ruby gazed in awe at a huge field of roses "look Weiss it's so pretty" Ruby said to Weiss knocking her out of deep thought. Weiss looked out at the huge field of roses and looked back to see the rest of her team looking out to the roses then said back to Ruby as she looked back out the window "Yeah they are pretty". Ruby still looking out the window "Yeah the red ones and the white ones look so Beautiful", Yang also looking out the window asked Ruby "Ruby what about the pink ones?" then Ruby looked to her teammates with a big smile on her face nodded "Yep the pink ones are really beautiful too"
They all watched the field go by "The roses were so beautiful" Ruby said looking to her team, Weiss thought "Ruby really loves roses" looked to Ruby "Ruby when we get back how about I go and buy some for the room "Weiss said without thinking
Ruby looked to Weiss with sheer excitement "Really" Weiss looked at Ruby and nodded "Sure Ruby I don't mind getting some" Ruby shook in her seat with joy and then hugged Weiss "Thank you I really love roses".
Ruby released her hug when Blake tapped her on the shoulder "Ruby looks like we will arrive in about 10 minutes do you have the envelope for the police?" Ruby's happy expression suddenly disappeared as she realized that she didn't have it, she looked to Blake "um no, I forgot it".
Weiss panicked, looked at Ruby "You forgot it, without that we…" Yang interrupted Weiss "Don't worry I have it" she said as she pulled the enveloped form her pocket. The others sighed in relief and Blake looked to her partner "Yang why do you have it?" she asked.
Yang looked at Blake "Well I went back to our room before we left to see if we had forgotten anything and then I saw it sitting on the bed so I grabbed it". Ruby looked to her sister "Thanks Yang for grabbing it" then Weiss looked to Ruby looked even more annoyed "Well you wouldn't need to be thanking her if you didn't forget it in the first place" Ruby looked down and Weiss continued talking "Well it did end up ok so let's just get ready to start the mission".
Ruby more excited than before jumps up "Ok, Team RWBY's first mission starts now let's do it" Ruby grabbed the envelope form Yang and sat back down as she squealed with excitement.
As the train were only minutes from reaching its destination Ruby looked to Weiss remembering what Yang said earlier, she blushed and played with her hands then looked to Weiss "Um Weiss" Weiss upon hearing Ruby's voice was brought back to reality. She then looked towards her crush "Yeah Ruby what it is?".
Yang and Blake stared at each other and had the same thought "Is she going to do it" then stared at Ruby waiting for her reply. Ruby looking down to the floor "Weiss do... do you like me?".
Weiss thought to herself assuming that Ruby was asking because of how she talks to her "Now I've done it, Ruby must hate that I am always cold to her" and responded to Ruby to reassure her "Ruby I know I am cold at times but I'm your friend so yeah, and nothing will ever change that".
Ruby thought to herself "Weiss that's not what I meant I wish I could tell you" at the same time Weiss thought "Why can't I say it, stupid Weiss stupid". Yang who was watching what just took place looked to the roof and sighed "How disappointing". Blake looking out the window informed her team "look the station is up ahead".
As the train pulls into the station Ruby jumps up again "Ok let's go team" Blake and Yang got up and started heading to the exit then when Weiss got up she was stopped when Ruby grabbed her hand, Weiss looked back at Ruby, as Ruby spoke " Weiss after we complete the mission will you get me some roses?" Weiss looked at Ruby confused at her question "Ruby I already said I was going to buy some when we get back" Ruby looking embarrassed and looked down at her feet. Weiss feeling concerned for Ruby's happiness "Come on cheer up" Weiss said to her, as her hand gently lifted Ruby's head, "I know what about after we complete the mission I will let you request something from me, it can be anything".
Ruby looked up to Weiss surprised "Really", before thinking about what she could possibly ask from Weiss, "I don't know what to ask for though", Weiss smiled at Ruby "Then think about it and then tell me later", Weiss said before turning towards the door her team had exited "Come on the sooner we start the mission the sooner we finish, and you can find your answer".
They walked to the exit to find that Yang is already causing trouble for the team; Yang had a man pinned to the ground with her fist ready to punch the man. Ruby yelled out to Yang "Yang what are you doing, what happened" Yang looked up at Ruby while still holding the man to the ground "This man tried to attack Blake so I stopped him" she said in a cheerful voice that made both Ruby and Weiss shudder to hear.
The Man still on the ground looked to Weiss and Ruby and then looked at Blake and yelled "Demon… I know your kind, and you're all demons in human clothing"
Ruby and Weiss looked confused at the statement; while behind them two men came out of the train. They both had the same attire on this, being a white collar shirt, Navy blue tie, black trousers with grey suspenders and black shoes they also wore sunglasses as they yelled to Yang who had a man held to the ground "Hey stop what you're doing" Yang recognizing the men let go of the man surprised. The man quickly got to his feet and ran off yelling back at the team, "Don't be fooled by the demon".
The two men began walking over to Yang as they got closer the brown haired one spoke, "we're detectives sent from vale police department" the grey haired one puffed out his chest, "Yeah, we are here to investigate the dust robberies, so you girls can run along back to your precious academy now".
Weiss said annoyed at the two men walked up to the both of them and even while being only just above his chest in height still gave off an imposing image as she berated the two officers in front of her, "Excuse me where here on official business, where here to capture the one who is stealing the dust not you" the brown haired detective scoffed and queried back "Then where is your warrant for taking over the capture of the criminal?" Weiss leaned over to Ruby "Give them the envelope" Ruby still holding it in her hand "Here" as she handed it to the brown haired detective.
Opening it the brown haired detective read the letter and before turning back to Weiss, "Okay were good here "than asked Weiss, "You're the leader right?" Weiss suddenly exploded angrily "No" as she pointed to Ruby, for some reason feeling infuriated, "She is the team leader, can't you idiots see that" the brown haired detective scared of the white haired huntress in training quickly turned to Ruby, "My apologies Miss, we are here to help in any way we can, you are leader of this operation in order to catch this criminal". Ruby, shocked turned to the rest of the team as they all huddled together, "WHAT, I thought we were helping the police not taking over" said a now panicking Ruby. Weiss put her hand on Ruby's head "Don't worry Ruby we are here behind you" Ruby looked at Blake and Yang and then at Weiss "Ok" she said with faith in her team .
Yang deciding that she should bring up what happened earlier spoke up, "Why did that man try to attack Blake". Suddenly the grey haired detective spoke up, "That is strange this town is actually one of the safest for travellers the people they won't help to the best of their ability are the Faunus" after he had said that Ruby, Weiss and Yang all turned to Blake shocked to realize she could possibly be a Faunus.
Blake looked at her team, shocked that she was found out, panicked she ran. Ruby yelled out "Blake wait" but she was already gone, Ruby looked towards Weiss and Yang tearing up "Why would Blake run, we have to find her and let her know its ok" she said worried about Blake.
Weiss seemed to be most affected when she realized all she did around Blake was say terrible thing about Faunus. Weiss began to cry and then dropped to her knees knowing she was the cause that drove Blake away and said looking to Ruby "Ruby it's my fault Blake ran, she knew I hated the Faunus" Ruby grabbed Weiss' hand and pulled her up into a hug "Weiss its ok all we have to do is find her and make clear we don't hate her".
Yang got pissed at the detective "Why did you say that" then the detective backed up scared of Yang "Hey I didn't expect her to react like that and it was just a thought I didn't actually think she was one," he closed his eyes expecting to get hit, But Ruby had held Yang back "Yang it's not his fault," Ruby said pulling her sister into a hug, Yang realising it was her fault "I know it's my fault for bringing it up". Then Ruby as calmly as she could asked the detectives "Hey are you supposed to do what I ask," caught off guard the brown haired detective quickly replied "Yes but only if it regards completing the mission" Ruby then spoke, gone was the giddy girl, before the members of team RWBY and the two detectives stood a leader who was willing to do anything to find her friend "Find Blake, we can't do anything without our friend".
The brown haired detective looked to his partner "Ok we will consider this as a missing person and call it in and say that she needs to be found ASAP" he then looks to Ruby "We will do everything we can to find her but we really need to capture the criminal" he said. Ruby looked to Weiss, she nodded and then Ruby said the detective "Fine we will do the mission, you look for Blake"
Meanwhile Blake was sitting on a roof top as she held her ribbon, then a voice behind her spoke "Poor kitty, you are all alone" She turned to see a man who wore an open black trench coat with a white shirt, trousers and black dress shoes. Realizing who he was, she began to speak, "Wait your Peter Tan..." before she finished her sentence she was shot with a tranquilizer dart and quickly dropped to the floor.
Blake looked up as her vision blurred and saw another person behind him but couldn't make out the face knowing that person walking over was the one who shot her, as the darkness took her she heard Peter whisper "sleep little kitten, when you next awaken you will be mine".
What will happen to Blake, Will team RWBY capture Peter Tanner will the detectives ever be useful find out in the next chapter.
