"Raiders Of The Lost Arc"
Hey you beautiful readers.
It's been a long time since the previous chapter, but most of you don't care.
Either way, I've been doing tons of stuff ( work, school, personal projects ) and have recently put up a new Youtube Channel.

It's not much, but I'd appreciate it if you took a look. Anyways, on with the story!
Chapter Four, A Return :
A sleek black Ford pulled up to the terraced house beside it. The building had a homely look, and indeed, it was the home of Indiana Jaunes, set in the foreground of the night sky. It's lights were on, and the shades thrown in did little to hide it. The driver got out, breathed out a wisp of cold air, and began to pace up the stone walkway.
Opening the door, Indy stepped aside to let Ozpin in.
Trying his best to look presentable in his bathrobe, Jaunes cornered his guest.
"You did it, didn't you?"
Ozpin gave a weary-sort-of laugh. "They want you to go for it!"
Indy gave a sigh. "Oh Oz…!" He laughed and slapped Ozpin on the back as they moved out of the corridor and into the living room.
"They want you to get a hold of the Ark before the Nazis do, and they're prepared to pay handsomely for it!" Ozpin said, removing and draping his coat around a beige armchair before facing Indy.
"And the musuem?" Indy asked, trying to iron out all qualms and queries, unable to believe the opportunity. "The musuem gets the Ark when we're done?"
"Oh yes…"
A laugh was shared between the two men, as they both couldn't believe their luck, and they shook on it.
There was a whole affair of the Biblical Arc, Nazis and a quest to retrieve it that two American men had previously discussed with them, and the adventurer had actually agreed to their terms!
(This might be a little weird, RWBY characters fighting Nazis, but imagine it again, "RWBY characters fighting Nazis", and suddenly it becomes a whole lot cooler.)
"Oh, the Arc of the Covenant." Jaunes breathed as he poured champagne. "That's the entire reason we got into archeology in the first place!"
Indeed, it was theorised that Indiana Jaunes himself was a distant descendant of the first creation of God, Adam and Blake.
Somewhere along the convoluted storyline of the Bible, a rabbi named Jaune Arc was commanded by God to hide the Arc Of The Covenant, a box that contained Godly powers.
Early in their lives, Ozpin and Indy got together, discovering various inscriptions and clues, all leading into the undeniable fact that only a descendant of Jaune Arc himself could uncover and control the ancient power of the Arc.
A clink of glass, and both men downed their drink, in celebration of the adventure they'd both been waiting for.
Moving across the room again, Jaunes went to closet and retrieved an enormous suitcase.
"I've got to locate her. Do you think I could find her?" Jaunes said, in an absent-minded fashion.
Ozpin was not fooled. "Pyrrha is the least of your worries right now, believe me Indy. I know, she might have helped you a bit-"
"A lot."
"-on some of your other trips, but this time…."
Darkness dawned on Ozpin's figure, and the dull light of the space only manage to light up a bit of him.
"For the past 3000 years Indy. Man have been searching for the lost Arc. Not something to be taken lightly."
"What do you mean?" Indy asked, his face suddenly hardening like a stone statue.
"Well…no one knows its secrets. Its….its really like nothing you've ever gone after before."
The temperature dropped a few degrees.
Ozpin gave an ominous glare…
"Oh Ozpin!" chortled Jaunes "What are you trying to do, scare me? Jesus, you sound like my mother!" He strode across the room again, to his desk this time. "We've known each other for years, you know I don't believe in this magic…hockey pockey..superstitious nonsense…besides…"
A drawer pulled back, and a revolver was in Indy's hand.
"You know what a cautious fellow I am…"
