"So why did you call us?" Bobby asked.

It was just another Sunday for Team RWBY as they groaned in boredom when they unexpectedly heard a knock on their door. Opening it, the leader of Team RWBY was greeted with the sight of Ozpin with his ever-present cane and coffee mug in hand, asking for their presence in his office.

Now, they stood in front of the stoic professor, wondering why they were called.

"I have a mission for you." Upon hearing this, Ruby's face brightened up, excited to finally receive their first mission. This was obvious because Ozpin immediately looked at Ruby as he said, "This isn't an ordinary mission, however, so I want you to listen carefully."

"What kind of mission is it, Professor Ozpin?" Weiss asked, obviously getting slightly impatient.

"There have been reports that members of the White Fang were seen entering and leaving a warehouse near the Vale docks..." Team RWBY, minus Yang, flinched when he mentioned the word 'docks' recalling the incident with Roman and his goons, "...and I need you to go and investigate it. This isn't a mission I normally give to my students but I have trust in your abilities to return back in one piece."

"No problem Professor, you know we won't fail you..." Yang told the stoic man confidently and suddenly placed her arm around her male teammate's neck and patted his chest twice, "...besides, we got our trump card right here."

'That's exactly why I'm worried...' Ozpin thought, closing his eyes. He had heard about the Roman fiasco at the docks and was hesitant to send Team RWBY but there was nobody else he could entrust this mission to and Team CFVY wasn't back from their mission yet.

"Very well...You may leave when you are ready but I advise you to leave as soon as you can. I highly doubt that they plan to stay in the warehouse longer than they need to." Ozpin said, ushering them out of his office.

-Vale Docks-

"So where do we start?" The hooded leader of Team RWBY asked after arriving at the docks. Unfortunately for them, the sky started to turn dark immediately after they returned to their dorm to prepare their things and by the time they left the academy, a heavy downpour was beating down on them.

It was nothing an umbrella couldn't fix, though.

"Wow, this actually hurts pretty bad..." Bobby told his team. During their journey towards their destination, some of the rain had gotten onto the conduit who had opt to carry an extra large umbrella. This didn't completely stop the rainwater from hitting his skin however if his groans of discomfort were any indication. "I should probably wear a raincoat next time...man I can't even feel my arms anymore."

"Oh quit whining, it's just rainwater." Weiss snapped at him.

"I don't know whether you passed your science test or not but electricity and water don't exactly go well together!" Bobby retorted.

"Can't you like turn your powers off or something?" Yang asked from his left.

"A conduit does not simply turn their powers off, Yang..." Bobby answered her, getting slightly annoyed.

"Well, that sucks..." Yang muttered but immediately froze in place, earning her questioning looks from her team. Suddenly, a wicked grin carved its way onto her face as she turned towards the conduit slowly.

"Yang, what are you-" Bobby was cut off when Yang suddenly hopped in place, sending rainwater splashing everywhere. He immediately widened his eyes when he realised just what she was doing and quickly tried to run away, "YANG! I SWEAR, IF YOU GET ANY CLOSER, I'LL RIP YOUR HAIR OFF THIS VERY MOMENT!"

Yang immediately covered her mouth and gasped, albeit rather exaggeratedly, "You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me." Bobby simply glared at her as if challenging her to do it again. Unfortunately for the conduit, Yang being well...Yang, refuses to back down from a challenge and continued chasing the conduit, the latter thinking of ways to get revenge.


"This better be it," Weiss stated as they approached a rather secluded warehouse, a clear expression of annoyance etched on her face. After she had enough of Yang's antics, she finally couldn't take it anymore and snapped at her, effectively making the atmosphere more gloomy than it already was.

"Well, I guess we finally found it." Yang declared, hiding behind a huge crate along with her team.

"How do we get in?" Weiss asked, looking out for any patrolling White Fang members.

"Guys, over there!" Ruby hissed and pointed towards a group of White Fang members hanging around under a sheltered area. They had stumbled upon this warehouse after hearing what sounded like cheering coming not far from where they were and ended up here. Their suspicions were confirmed when they heard what sounded like a speech coming from inside the warehouse.

"We can take their uniforms," Bobby suggested as he peeked over the crate.

"What? No way! I am not getting out of my clothes." Weiss huffed and crossed her arms.

"You mean your dress?" Yang deadpanned.

"It's a combat skirt." Weiss corrected her.

"Yeah!" Ruby suddenly appeared next her, the both of them giving each other a high-five. The other two members, on the other hand, simply face faulted.

"If you want to stay out here in the rain..." Bobby sighed, "...then be my guest. Come on guys." He motioned for Ruby and Yang to follow.

"Actually...I think we're just going to stay out here to you know, keep a lookout." Yang sheepishly told him, earning a 'really?' look from Bobby.

Bobby pinched the bridge of his nose as he sighed, "Fine, suit yourselves...can you at least help me take them out? I need to reach the other side." He told them, pointing towards the group of White Fang members under the shelter.

Ruby, Weiss and Yang immediately took out their weapons and prepared for a sneak attack. Approaching them, they were dispatched easily enough as Yang motioned Bobby to proceed. The conduit then nodded and went up to the side of the warehouse, his umbrella still in hand. The female members of the team could only cock their heads in confusion when he started analysing the wall like it was an artefact in a museum.

They were in for a surprise however when the conduit suddenly leapt on the wall as he placed his hands into the cracks of it and in under a minute, made it to the window of the warehouse. Fortunately for him, the side of the roof was just far enough to stop the rain from beating down on him.

Poking his head in, he immediately noticed the huge crowd of, what looked to be, new recruits talking among themselves, a huge mech and...

Roman Torchwick.

Bobby nearly lost his footing when he saw him as he wasn't expecting him to be there. He's right there...his mother's killer was right there. It took an inhuman amount of self-control to not just go in and strangle the life out of him right then and there...although the crowd that stood before him probably played a part as well since they would most probably tear him apart.

After a moment to study the room, he let go of the windowsill and landed beside his team, who had decided to seek refuge under the side of the roof.

"What did you see?" Yang asked, her arms folded to keep the cold away.

"It's him." He replied cryptically, his eyes in a daze.

"Who?" The rapier user asked.

"The guy from that night."

Ruby and Weiss widened their eyes after hearing that.


"As some of you might have heard, this right here..." Roman turned away from the audience to admire the mech before him, "...is Atlas's newest defence against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my "employer", we've managed to snag a few before they hit the shelves."

Roman was introducing his newest toy to the recruits before him, confident that it would boost the chances of them joining. After all, he didn't want to piss his "employers" off by making them think the White Fang were a bunch of weaklings, especially if he was promised a very promising reward. One that would put the local bank to shame.

Suddenly, four people strolled into the warehouse wearing the signature mask of the White Fang. Two of them were wearing dresses, one with bracelets on her arms and the last one in a motorcycle jacket.

How odd...but when compared to the rest of these people in front him, they were just another face in the crowd. Another person, or more specifically, a Faunus had a frown marring her face. There was just something very familiar about him. That jacket and that hair ringed a bell...then it dawned on her.

"It's him..." Blake thought in shock and horror as she widened her eyes in fear.


"Why is she looking at us..?" Weiss hissed towards the team.

"I don't think it's us she's looking at!" Ruby hissed back, prompting them to read Blake's eyes carefully. They soon realised that she was staring straight at the conduit.

This wasn't unnoticed by him, however, as he clenched his fist. He was hoping she wouldn't show her face again because that would mean a one-way ticket to her funeral...

...And Bobby really didn't like killing people.

But it was really hard when people are constantly trying to hurt his kind.

The next thing they knew was Blake whispering something to Roman as he smirked and spoke once again. "It looks like today's your lucky day because you'll be able to watch a demonstration for this baby!"

Immediately hopping into it, he aimed his weapons straight at Bobby and his team. Everyone around them immediately backed away as they readied their own weapons. Ruby gulped while Yang and Weiss glared under their masks as they unsheathed their respective weapons.

Roman then fired a missile towards them as Bobby pushed Ruby towards the other two members. He then hastily created a Polarity Wall to shield him from the blast as he was sent flying back from the shockwave and through the wall of the warehouse, skidding to a halt on his back. By now, the rain had stopped as he scrambled to his feet.


"Take care of them." The cat faunus instructed her mute, ice-cream themed comrade as she nodded, the former seemingly melting into the shadows. Adam needed to know about this.

"No!" Ruby shouted after seeing the conduit blown back through the wall. She was about to run after him when she suddenly heard weapons being drawn. Looking back at the crowd, she gave the most menacing glare she could muster and revealed her 'sweetheart'. She then charged at them along with her sister and partner.


Lightning bolts landed on metal but it did nothing but dissipate as Roman approached the conduit who was backing up, trying to find the mech's weak spot. He then used the battlesuit's energy guns to fire at Bobby, the latter narrowly rolling out of the way. He used most of his available attacks in his arsenal but to no avail.

It was times like this where he wished he had a weapon.

The cane-user approached him and sent a metal foot into the conduit's gut as the latter doubled over from the pain. He was then sent flying back into a stack of crates near the docks as they broke on impact. Roman then started laughing and smirked to further mock him.

"I'm glad you came..." He then picked Bobby up, who had bruises on his face, by his throat, "...I didn't get to pay you back for the gifts you left me yet."

The conduit then noticed the bruises on his assailant's face, probably from the beating he gave him that night at the docks. The mech then cocked its arm back and sent it into his face, further bruising it and sent him flying right next to the water. He could feel a rib or two broken as his healing factor tried to repair his face but the damage was just too great to fix within seconds or even minutes. It would take days for it to finally look normal again.

But his ruined facial structure was the least of his problems as the bowler hat-wearing man lifted him up by his neck once again. Bobby tried to struggle but he felt very weak from using his powers and constantly receiving blows to his body. His hearing was also slowly giving up on him as his head pounded with each heartbeat. He was then left dangling above the raging sea as the waves crashed into the side of the docks. "Ooo, I've heard what water does to electricity." There was no doubt about it...

...Roman was going to kill him.

Bobby didn't even stand a chance and the worst part was that he knew. The moment his lightning attacks were brushed off, the battle was decided. He was scared. This wasn't the usual fear he felt when he had nightmares, no. He was scared to die. Scared to look death in the face.

Scared to leave the few people who cared about him.

But he steeled his nerves and closed his eyes as he embraced the thought of death. Maybe, just maybe, he could meet his mum and dad again. Opening his eyes, he was greeted with a smirking Roman giving a mock goodbye wave.

"Adios. Maybe if you're lucky, they'll find you swept up at a beach somewhere, hahaha."

And with that, darkness consumed his vision as the grip on his neck loosened. The last thing he noticed was the smell of smoke but that was probably his body frying from the inside. The one thing he could think of at that time was how painless his death was...


Smell of smoke huh..? Haha, hope you enjoyed! Constructive criticism is appreciated by the way!

Until next time! :D
