"Cargo is here." Blake and the remaining White Fang members approach a man in a white military uniform, it's Ironwood, him and his guards aren't looking too friendly.

The train station is well guarded with Atlas forces patrolling the area, cautious under ice, Ironwood noticed the somehow wrecked train.

"Accidents?"

"Met with a huntress, but we get rid of her."

"Well, bring me the cargo." Ironwood letting Blake to follow him, and the rest stay back.

"Here." Blake hands out the keycard that Ozpin offered to Weiss before, Ironwood quickly recognize it with his scanner and confirmed it's the real deal.

"Nice, exit is that way." Ironwood soon secured the important access keycard in his high tech box, alongside with his guards. "Remember, don't tell anyone."

Blake didn't answer as she and her group soon leave the train station, Ironwood looks wary at Blake's back, he seems to recognize that voice but not sure who and where.

"Look out for the blizzard." Ironwood signalling some of his men to follow Blake, but soon realize darkness had the White Fang in cover, they are as good as vanished.

"They never told me he was a woman..." He had his doubt.

"What's our plan now?" asked Ruby as she's waiting inside the woods, she's now on Weiss's clothes, with wig and fake blue eye lens.

"We just have to wait." Blake with her binoculars, her cat eyes can see them clearly from the shadow. "Guessing it's Atlas, they get stuff done fast."

Like Blake suggested, soon a truck can be seen entering the guarded area, a few men that's believe to be from the council and soon come Weiss' little brother Whitley Schnee, making their way to Ironwood.

"That boy, is him Weiss's brother?" Ruby asks.

"Yes… wait how can you see this far." Blake soon realize Ruby's silver eyes. "Nevermind."

"Hmm?"

"Ruby, I want you to track that boy, his name is Whitley by the way." Blake stepping down from higher ground. "You three, follow me, the rest stay with red, I'll be back very soon."

"...so I'm just going to look at him?" Ruby is unsure.

A sudden huge explosion can be heard from the train station, the train exploded and some men caught in the fire, Ruby's expression turn from bored to startled.

The men soon panicking, Blake came back with her scroll managed to hack into the Atlas system, the other three White Fang members can be seen holding a big radar like device.

"Just gave Yang her call so I guess she will arrived there soon."

"Oh, umm... yeah... finally I can met with my sister." Ruby looks rejecting as she noticed some people just burned to death.

"People die everyday, get used to it." Blake throw Ruby the rapier Weiss used. "Now go."

"Just like you said Whitley, we are under attack." Ironwood looks unhappy as the grinning prince looking at the burning wreck.

"I suppose you're smarter than this but I'm afraid I was wrong." Whitley shakes his head slightly. "My father doesn't like the council too much, even we're just executing our duty to protect the keycard for the best interest of this nation... isn't it general?"

"How many times I have to told you, the military is not eligible to align with the royal nor the council!" Ironwood guarding the keycard. "I will not follow your commands I afraid."

"...so you know why I'm here." Whitley proceed to approach Ironwood. "You're a good man general, don't get me wrong, your loyalty to our nation is really worth honoring but can't you see that this nation is dividing? Under my father's rule, he's getting everyone unhappy, no one likes him, he has lost his mind when he said he wanted to free the workers, he's no longer the Jacques Schnee we all know."

"And you're no longer the Whitley Schnee who's closer to him." Ironwood deeply sigh. "What makes you turn against your father?"

"Good question." Whitley shows Ironwood the box of dust he got from his guards. "The mines aren't going to last hundreds more year like my father said, he lie to all of us, the dust the workers been collecting lately aren't looking too great in shape, and he even refuse to acknowledge the fact he is wrong."

The other council members watch as Whitley get closer to Ironwood, whisper to his ear. "He lie about you too general, you're just a tool like everybody else."

"It's ridiculous! What are you trying to do? Throwing out your father?"

"Abolished the royal family, this nation shall rule by law and order just like before and after, there's no exception."

Ironwood isn't too happy to know that the young boy in front of him had greater ambition and plans he didn't know about, soon giving orders to his men to remain guarded. "Don't get fool by him, we're not going to overthrow anyone."

"I afraid I can't let you do that."

Ironwood watches as his men turn against him, they point their guns and ready their blades, needless to say Ironwood is more than shocked, but soon realized something is off.

"What have you done! Those men they are not conscious!" Ironwood couldn't believe his most loyal right hand man turn against him, and he soon realize their eyes are missing soul.

"Just something I borrow from a special guest, hope to see you soon general."

"Wait!" Ironwood getting arrested as he was getting pushed to the cold ground and feeling the betrayed by his own men, it was not a pleasant experience. "I'll kill you Whitley! You can't do this!"

"What are we going to do with him?" One of the council member asks.

"We'll need him alive, afterall there's something I want to ask him… privately."

"How about your sister Winter? I thought she's also taking care of some property in the north?"

"We sort it out later, now we just need the main forces." Whitley looks at the undeciding council members. "...or do you want me to take care of your soul instead?"

"No but-"

"Then shut UP." Whitley's tone changed as his smile become more unpleasant. "I'm the law."

"Surrender yourself now!" Ruby pulls out Weiss's rapier against Whitley, while looking at some of the text Blake wrote to her earlier. "Don't make it a mess and forced me to neutralize you in a polite manner."

"Strong words." Whitley tsk.

Ruby squeaks a bit but soon remain calm.

"Oh brother, your mouth still stink like I remember." Ruby said in a more unnatural tone.

"Yes Weiss, you know I always hate you standing up with that old man, you know I was adopted but never tell me the truth," Whitley's anger drive him to pulls out his sword. "...but this end today, I will kill you and then your sister."

Ironwood watches as Whitley facing Ruby, not realizing the men that's on his back soon fell down to the ground aside, leaving him to saw Blake again. "You…"

"I need that card." Blake showing Ironwood her face behind the White Fang mask.

"You… I can't, you are going to kill her." Ironwood quickly recognize Blake, her cold gaze reminded him of her serial killer vibes and she really mean business.

"I hate promises, but I will help you to end the possibly civil war if you give me that keycard." Blake cleaning up her blade on the clean military uniform. "I'm your best hope now."

Ironwood seeing Whitley fighting against Weiss (Ruby), he couldn't help but went silent for a few seconds, the siblings he knew is no longer exist. "Password is 4398, tell me, why are you doing this?"

Not fully convinced by Ironwood's goodwill, Blake try the password and gets her keycard.

"Definitely not for you." Blake vanish into the shadow, leaving Ironwood looking around himself with his men acting zombie like, realizing the council members are watching, he stand up.

(Gunned down the nearest council member)

"What are you doing this general!" The others are surprise, some of them even expecting the zombie like soldiers will protecting them but they're just watching, now realizing Whitley doesn't care of them.

"I'm the one who suppose to know." Ironwood loading his rifle that he pick up off the ground. "Death to traitors!"

Meanwhile, Whitley isn't paying too much attention on what Ironwood is causing on the back, as he's fighting against Ruby disguise as Weiss, Whitley is confused.

Although using his enhanced magic on his speed and strength, he's losing against Ruby, every moves are being counter by Ruby in some way and more and more of his guards being caught by this giant net coming out of nowhere.

He couldn't see what she just did.

"Urgh, what the hell." Whitley realized his sword has not able to touch Ruby for even once like he's swinging his sword against air, making him more annoyed.

"Looks like someone regressed." Ruby reads out her next line again.

"Stop it Weiss, you think you're so smart, don't you think if you take me down, this whole thing will end, I will win no matter what." Whitley taking in a bottle of black dust and leaking out a grimm like aura around him, which Ruby reply in shocked.

"Oh… Blake didn't told me about this." Ruby looking at her next line. "Well then brother, you bored me?"

Ironwood making his ways to the traitors as he try to finish off the council members that sided with Whitley, a huge blast of black dust coming into his direction, he managed to stand again behind rubble.

"Those purified dust..." Ironwood and his wry smile. "Now I know you're just like your father!"

"Stop IT!" Whitley's creepy power is pushing rubbles and heavy machinery against Ironwood, the middle aged man soon realize Weiss came to help him before he get squashed.

"Thanks… wait you're not Weiss."

"Hehe, don't tell anyone yet because people aren't supposed to know .!" Ruby making her complain as she's still not use to move in high heels. "He's looking mad, I have to go now."

Whitley soon losing his mind, Ruby know something's wrong with him when she saw some Grimm characteristics of black and white stripes crawling out of his face, now his eyes are just grimm red.

"Oh, so you're grimm…" Ruby is unsure. "But human?"

"He's not going back, kill him before shit happens." Ironwood try to shoot Whitley with his gun, the bullets stopped mid air around Whitley shocked him. "Oh crap."

"Careful!" The shots fired back at Ironwood, Ruby now bringing him to a far distance before deciding to head back against Whitley again.

"Wait, I don't know who you are but you're going to get yourself kill!" Ironwood warn.

"No worries." Ruby stretching her arms a bit. "After I'm familiar with this weapon I think I can beat him."

"Who are you…" Ironwood not expecting an answer.

"Night Wolf." Ruby before jumping back into the battleground. "I'll be back :D"

"..."
