Welcome back to Operation: Outcasts. I'm very sorry, but this chapter is a lot shorter than expected because there wasn't much time for me to work on things.

With all of the new things that are happening, things are going a little well, thanks. Please enjoy the next chapter.

Chapter 7

Nothing much was planned out. Velvet was slowly waking up to the sound of glasses falling down on the floor, three of them to be exact. She opened up her eyes and stood up to see the disturbance, Coco was dressed in a brown tailored coat with four buttons on the side, and a belt with some bullets placed on it, she had some boots that were fit for walking, and she only wore one glove on her right hand. She still kept the beret and sunglasses.

"Good morning Velvet." She turned her head and smiled at the bunny Faunus, "How are you?"

"Good." She yawned and looked at the CFVY leader, "What's going on?"

"I'm just checking the map of the city, determining whether we're going to be seeing lots of Atlas soldiers in some designated areas." She got a red marker out and circled something on it, "I got some clothes that you might like," she threw the pile of them to her, Velvet went to go change somewhere.

Neptune was sitting on a table next to Coco, he wore a blue bottomed up sleeve shirt, a regular belt and some jeans with the color of black with small hints of silver or gray. He had some weird shoes that cool guys would wear and a gold necklace. "Where did you find this stuff?" He asked.

"I have my ways, It felt like a good thing to change out of our gear for a little while." She marked another thing on her map. "I always wanted to change my look for some time." She moved the brete slightly and looked at Neptune.

"I heard that you were trying to plan out how we can escape the city." he replied.

"I tried to list out all of our possible escapes, we're still going to take the bridge route but we'll need to go through the right path."

"Don't forget that we're still agreeing to the short straw thing, we still need a leader for today." At the sound of that, Coco put her head down.

"Don't remind me, it's going to make me nervous." Coco was hoping to forget that thing, but she had to remember that it would only last for a day, and they had to figure out who will be the next leader, but she kept hoping that it wouldn't be Cardin, otherwise they would have a lot of trouble in their hands.

"Are you still angry at Cardin?" Neptune asked, he didn't share the same feelings for Cardin, he was just hoping that he could change for the better.

"Yeah, you could say that." The leader of team CFVY took her scroll out and took a picture of the map, then put her scroll back. "I'm done, take a look." The blue haired got up and walked to the map. There was a red mark on every location they've been through.

"We only have three bridges that we can go on, but they might be heavily guarded by Atlas and the White Fang, unless we have a different strategy to avoid them, we're dead."

"So the best option, other than the trains is to go right through the ocean?" Neptune's question was indeed correct as shown by Coco's nod, "The problem is that we need a boat of some kind to get us through."

"Good point buddy." There was no plan for that though, they need it to escape, the others probably had the same idea as them, hopefully they would meet up with each other soon enough, and they could get out of here.

"So guys?" Velvet appeared and the two turned around to look at her new look. She wore a tuxedo-like uniform but the coat was in the color of brown and they could see some red and white bow tie on her collar, not to mention a ring on her left finger. The ring was in an odd shape that represented a cupcake with a red and white color on the inside. "What do you think?"

Coco looked at it and smiled, impressed at what she had picked out for the faunus, Neptune also smiled, and he said, "It looks absolutely stunning on you."

Velvet couldn't help but blush, "Thanks." She said, the outfit on her was actually beautiful on her, and she like the red velvet cake ring on her, it looked very attractive to anyone, she couldn't agree more on that. "Coco, are we ready to leave?"

"Almost Velvet, almost." Just then Cardin entered the restaurant and Coco gave out a villainous glare at the leader of team CRDL, she had to pick out clothes for him too since he was a part of their 'team'. He wore a coat with an eagle on it, with a shade of gray and yellow on it, he didn't like this outfit one bit, nor did he like the boots he had to wear.

"Next time, I'm picking the clothes." He said to the face of Team CFVY.

"I wouldn't allow you to do that even if you became leader." She shouted back, but she was trying to control herself from trying to hit his face. "Guess we should leave now before we cause a fight."

"Not before we find out who's the leader." Neptune took out a box of straws and placed them on the table, Coco grumbled under her breath since he had them along and they had no possible change to avoid this. She said, "Fine." And walked to the package. "Velvet, just-"

"I know Coco, don't worry." Velvet knew that she can't join up in this again since she was assigned leader yesterday. The three students looked at each other then at the straws.

"Okay, here we go." One by one, they repeated the same process as before, and hoped to get the short straw so that they will be the leader. Right then, all of them took it out and saw what they had in their hands, it turns out...all of them had long straws.

"What the heck?" They were all confused about that.

"Oh, sorry I put in some long straws to make things more interesting." Vasilias and the others threw the straws away, "Okay, now let's do this." They all did the same thing again, and after pulling their hands out with an item in it, one out of three of them had a short straw, Coco looked at hers, but it wasn't the correct one since it reached out of her palm, she then looked at Neptune's and his was hidden a little bit, it was indeed short, but is it enough?

They were a little nervous when they slowly turned their heads to see Cardin's straw, and he had it in his hand, and once they saw it, they noticed that it reached out a little higher, almost the same size as Coco's, that must mean...

"Looks like I'm the leader." Neptune said. Coco sighed with relief, and Cardin threw his straw down on the ground and threw the entire pack at the window, but it hit the door instead.

"I'm so happy for you buddy." The CFVY leader smiled and patted the new leader's back.

"Thanks Coco, and you're pretty lucky Cardin didn't get to be the leader." Coco got her weapon and headed out the door. "Now let's get going." She walked away, and this left an angry Winchester to take out his mace and then slam it out at the window to calm his mind down. He went out that way and tried to catch up to Coco.

"Congratulations." Velvet was happy for her friend and she hugged the blue haired boy. "I was so worried."

"There's no need to be Velvet, I'll try to keep us safe today." Neptune smiled, and let Velvet go on ahead to the others, he followed along to start off their new objective.

There was activity going down at South America, there was a mining operation that was not happening anymore for particular reasons, and this only left a patrol for the Sentinels to walk around and see what they could find. The place felt quite silent but with the sound of wildlife around their homes, there was about five soldiers walking around and seeing what they could find around here. The red eyed wolf was one of them.

He had an IMR with a Foregrip, some extended mags and an auto focus sight feature on it. His Exoskeleton had his symbol of a wolf with red eyes. The contact wearing Sentinel was with someone else and they were walking through a small ruin temple.

"This place was said to have some sort of buried treasure that came from the pirate age centuries ago," explained the companion, "they didn't find it yet, and I doubt they will. It takes more than a long while to find something like that."

"You think they would've given up so easily after this." Chris said.

"Not really, but it'll have to take over a year before the mining process can start up again." As Chris walked through the temple and down the steps, he looked over at an old station that used to have Atlas soldiers in it, even their symbol was there to say it belonged to them.

"Irons is very concerned that the outcasts thing has to get rid off, why didn't I hear about the whole Anti-Outcast force thing until now?"

"It's something the world needed at the time, but Gideon believes that they are the only ones that will be able to kill them since they have more advanced weaponry for them."

"That Archangel guy he was talking about, why did he bother to just stay with them?"

"He's the best they have, and what's more is that he's close to being better than Ilona herself." That did not amuse Chris, the records didn't matter to him, he had better things to do than that.

He said, "If Atlas and an anti-outcast force, why can we?"

"We didn't expose ourselves before, but now we can't for specific reasons."

"It Always has to be reasons." The lone wolf turned to the companion, "I'm going to check out something over there," he pointed at a far ditch, "Hwad over to the mining parts and I'll catch up to you." The far ditch he was heading in was only filled with a broken column and some sort of old items that were not in use for the mining stage.

There was some set of tools that only contained parts and that was really it, Chris sat down on a rock, and set the gun down on his feet. So far, he's been told that Gideon and Mitchell knew that the outcasts were going to get killed by Archangel and his small group of Atlas soldiers and the White Fang, but he didn't think that those forces are such a good thing, they were both enemies of their kind from different worlds, it was only until they would stab their backs, but it depended on who would do it first.

The silence and the sound of birds were broken as a distant gun shot wa heard around the place, this alarmed Alder and he gripped his IMR in case they were facing any hostile threat. He walked as slowly as he could when there was more sounds heard from that place, he could see someone approaching that sound, but that was just it. The lone wolf began to follow too, but he kept stopping as more were heard, maybe even a painful sound too, after that was heard, there was no more bullet sounds to be heard, so he ran to the place to catch up to the hostile.

He pulled out a grenade and set it's ability to stun, then threw it out at the unknown enemy. It got him and the white flash began to open up and blind his line of sight, this gave Chris time to fire out his IMR and shoot at him, but the hostile threat used his boosters to back away from the bullets and once the flash cleared, he looked at the Sentinel.

It was a White Fang member, but he was different. He had a standard outfit, but he had shoulder pads, metallic gauntlets, and his mask was black with a side of red on it, and he had a sword with the Atlas symbol on it. He looked at Chris and hold his ground, then cracked out a smile. He recognized him.

"Remember me?" He said, Chris nodded yes and stayed where he was, while the faunus just sharpened his blade. "I'm the guy responsible for all those deaths a year ago."

"I don't need a reminder from you." The lone wolf put on a frown and was already planning to kill this guy. "You killed my family, and now, I'm gonna avenge them."

"Then go ahead." The White Fang soldier used his Exo boosts to accelerate to him, but he moved out of his way to avoid a sword swipe. Chris fired his IMR, but the Fanusus 's balde was able to block the bullets from hitting him, but it wouldn't matter anyway since he had a full load of aura.

The faunus charged again, but the soldier dodged it, and then swung the end of the gun at him, which succeeded in hitting him. The faunus dropped his sword and punched his enemy, which made him drop the gun and avoid the next attack. As Chris caught the next fist that almost approached his face, he and the enemy fell on the floor and rolled almost through the place and he was able to kick the faunus out at a rock wall, he wasn't dazed by the impact however.

This time, the Faunus jumped from his current position and tried to land an impact on the ground, but Chris moved again, and it failed. Chris rammed the enemy, and he flew about two feet away from the fight, the faunus got out a knife and tried to get as close as the enemy as possible. The knife only pierced through the air, and he knew that the Sentinel was going to hit him, so he ducked and hit him on the chest to bring him down on the floor.

The sentinel rolled up on his feet, and pulled out his pistol to shoot at the faunus, he was able to use his boosts again, and as Chris got away before he handed, the sentinel punched him quickly, then the knife was dropped on the rocky surface. Two fists were caught as the Faunus grabbed the next punches that the sentinel was about to use. Chris head butted the soldier and hen got his hands free to hit his face.

The Faunus picked up the knife and thrusted himself to Chris, he grabbed the arm, and the knife was just inches away from his face. The soldier struggled as the knife was getting far away from his face, the Faunus was almost getting to disadvantage. He knew that this would just be a waste of time, he used his boosters and backed away from Chris.

The two soldiers stood face to face together, but the faunus just smiled at this. "Wow, I didn't think You would be so hard to kill." He said, "But I wouldn't think of staying here for this."

"You're retreating then?"

"For now, but when we get to New York, then we will fight to the death." The Faunus chuckled and put his sword away.

Chris looked at him, "So, you expect me to go to New York City, just to face off against you again?"

the Atlas enemy walked away and headed over through the large trees, Chris watched him leave, and took his IMR back. "Goddammit, this is not going to be good." He was now standing there alone, and all he did was follow the Faunus. Now he only knew exactly where to go.

It only took him that much time as he began to pass by some of the trees to see where the enemy would go, he was walking fast that's for sure, but Chris kept his distance as far as he could from the enemy. Through some of the noises he made didn't disturb the enemy, he kept going as slowly as he could.

After he went though the trees, he could see the Faunus walking to a VTOL, which revealed itself from it's clocking form and he hoped right in, there was another VTOL next to it, but it wasn't filled with soldiers. Chris began to walk through and take a bit of ammo as he crept his way to the vehicle, and hoping to hitch a ride.

The Faunus began to tell something at the pilot, and he understood where their next destination should be, Chris was glad to be aboard now, this could be his chance for vengeance, but he knew that he was doing something expendable.

"Gideon, you're gonna hate me for even doing this." He muttered to himself, he sat in the enemy vehicle and it took only a few seconds for it to begin it's new corse for New York to complete the outcast mission, Chris kept his eyes out for the right moment to fight, this would not be good for him to do, but his reasons did, he was wiling to keep going.

It had only been an hour as the two outcasts, Pyyrha and Jaune, were almost heading to their exact destination. Along the long road that was close to Peter Cooper Village, they were almost at the bridge, luckily there was this highway bridge above a regular road.

"We're almost there." Jaune muttered to himself, he was dressed in a black shirt, but he had himself equipped with a vest from one of the soldiers yesterday, and he had only three grenades on just in case. He didn't take the Exosuit because they still didn't know how to use it, or even how it works.

Pyyrha was dressed in a steel body armor, with shoulder pads on it, the sleeves were colored in autumn red, and underneath the armor was a white revolutionary robe with two forearms that were blue and red, she had some old brown boots that might've been from a few centuries ago, she found it somewhere, but she wouldn't tell anyone about it.

The two students of Beacon were near the bridge, it was good enough for them to get to higher ground. "Jaune, do you think we should get up there?" Nikos asked the leader of JNPR.

"Judging from our distance until we reach the bridge, yeah." He answered, he looked over to the left, and there was a good amount of level for them to get on it and head to the bridges to escape, but right then, there was about three vehicles moving along the path, they were all Atlas vehicles. "Okay, never mind."

The Atlas trucks were all being assisted by an Atlesian Paladin that was walking along with them, they all headed away to the right, where the bridges were located. "There goes that idea." Jaune looked right in front of them to see the docks, there was about a few boats over there, perfect for them to steal a boat and use that as an escape route, but that was also a problem.

There was also a patrol there that guarded the boats and they were securing it from any hostile that might use it to escape the city, the outcasts were not so lucky about this now. Their escape plans were falling short.

"This is a problem." Pyyrha said, "We can't go head on against them." Despite the fact that they were able to take on a whole squad yesterday, they weren't sure that they sould because there could be another patrol heading their way to assist the Faunus and Atlas forces in case they needed to.

"We need another plan." Jaune replied to Pyyrha, "We should regroup with some of our friends, once we set up a destination and meet up there, we can come back here and get out of here." His partner nodded.

"Right, let's just hope that they won't be followed by the enemies." She was indeed right however, because they were being watched by someone. At the patrol, there was Archangel, he had his MORS pointed at the two outcasts the entire time since they came here, but all of the other soldiers didn't see this. He kept his finger away from the trigger, and he had this chance to find out about the other outcasts.

He put on his Exo Cloak and walked as slowly as he could and hide behind some of the trees, they didn't provide much protection, but at least he can eavesdrop on them. He took out some sort of device, it was a communicative system that can be used to hack the scrolls and just trace them back to the caller. And that was just it, all it does was see who was calling and where. (Pretty useless technology unless it's used at the right moment).

This one was made for these sort of outcasts in case they ever come, this was tested by the White Fang before on each other, and it could only work on Scrolls, it was a good thing he brought it with him. At that moment, Jaune took out his scroll and began to contact Velvet. "Velvet, are you there?"

"Jaune? I'm here." The bunny Faunus replied, Archangel could see the profile picture on his device and it began to trace the location of the call. "What do you need?"

"We have a problem, Me and Pyyrha have reached the docks, but unfortunately it's guarded by soldiers." He explained, "And while it could be better to take them on, we're not going to leave without you."

Velvet said, "Oh, I was going to ask if you were going to leave, but that's good enough. What do you need us to do?"

"We have to regroup with Ruby and the others," This was indeed news to Archangel that he needed to listen to, luckily he had the device locate where the bunny Faunus and her team was, somewhere far from their current position. "We should meet up at Gramercy Park, how about that?"

"Hang on one second, " Velvet was off the phone, and was back after ten seconds, "Yeah, Sounds like a plan alright. I'll alert Ruby."

"We'll be at our destination soon, we'll wait for you there." Jaune and Velvet had hung up after setting up their rendezvous path point, Archangel had all the information he needed, and he refunded back to his squad to inform him of their newest plan, they eren't going to attack them now, they just needed to wait a little more, and the time to strike will be coming.

About a long while had passed since the news about the new mission had reached Ruby and Weiss, they heard about the mission too, and we're ready to go there, but there was a problem.

"Velvet, according to our destination, we're so far away from you guys." Weiss aid on her scroll.

"Oh...this could be a problem then," the bunny Faunus was heard through the phone, "What do you advise then?"

"You guys should probably go ahead without us, there will be more boats for when we leave or we can go through the train station if it's possible."

"We're just worried about this, our plan could be the only chance we can ever get out of here." This was potentially true, until the trains were finally confirmed a good idea, this was their only option left, despite the original plans to get on the bridge. Now that hey knew what to expect out of this, they had to make their move. "Just...we'll wait for you at the park, okay?"

Weiss didn't sigh, she knew that they were right about all of this, "Okay, we'll try to get there as soon as possible."

"See you there." Weiss hung up and set up the designated waypoint on her map, she put the scroll away, and turned to Ruby. "Come on Ruby, we got to get going." The heiress went on first and then the young huntress followed along to their next destination, if things were to go well, then nothing bad would happen. But they'll realize that they were wrong when they get there.

Yeah, like I said, I'm sorry about this being short, but the next chapter will be longer again.

Hope you enjoyed, please review, compliment on some things, and I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
