Time for this Volume's finale, and some Canon alteration.


"Finally, she speaks." Sun said, "Nearly two days and you've both given me nothing but small talk and weird looks."

Blake and Adam gave Sun a weird look.

"Yeah, like that." Sun said.

"Sun, are you familiar with the White Fang?" Blake asked.

"Of course, I don't think that there's a Faunas on the planet who's never heard of them." Sun said, "Stupid, wholler-than-now creeps who use force to get whatever they want, a bunch of freaks if you ask me."

"We were once members of the White Fang." Adam said.

Sun almost choked on his tea.

"Wait a minute, you were members of the White Fang?" Sun asked.

"That's right. We've been members for most of our lives actually, you could almost say we were born into it." Blake said, "Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and the Faunas. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunas were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings, and so, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people. And I was there, I was at the front of every rally, I took part in every boycott, and I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced by organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunas labor, and the worst part was: it was working. We were being treated like equals, but not of respect, out of fear."

Blake put her cup down before continuing.

"So, we left, I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. And, instead, I convinced Adam to come with me and we would then dedicate our lives to becoming Huntsmen. So here we are, criminals hiding in plain view, hiding my Faunas heritage all with the help of a little black bow." Blake said as she moved her cat ears, moving the bow.

"So, have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asked.

"No." Adam said, "We left before we could do anything."

"Then...what's your plan for what's next?" Sun asked.


Some time later, Sun, Blake, and Adam were walking down the streets of Vale.

"So, what's the plan?" Sun asked.

"I still don't think that the White Fang is behind these robberies." Blake said.

"Actually, you're wrong." Adam said.

"How would you know?" Sun asked.

"It...was my idea." Adam said.

"What?!" Sun and Blake asked.

"It was right before we left." Adam said, "We made a partnership with a girl named Cinder, she...forced us to work with her. A part of our agreement was stealing all of the Dust they needed."

"So that explains the robbery." Sun said.

"Adam, how could you?" Blake asked.

"Blake, I did it before I left with you." Adam said, "And besides, in order to make it up to everyone, I plan on stopping the next robbery."

"Lucky for you guys, I overheard a nice piece of info back on the boat that took me here about a shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas tonight." Sun said.

"Good." Adam said, "Lead the way."


Emil, Matthew, and Brittany were all walking down the streets of Vale, searching for their friends.

"Adam, where are you?!" Matthew asked.

"Yelling isn't going to help." Emil said.

"ADAM!" Brittany cried.

"What did I just say?" Emil asked.

"Sorry." Brittany said, "I'm just worried for him."

"I am too, but I'm also worried about what he's not telling us." Emil said.

"What do you mean?" Matthew asked.

"Adam seemed awfully defensive about the White Fang." Emil said, "I'm worried he used to have ties to them."

"So what if he did?" Matthew asked, "That doesn't change who he is now."

"I suppose that logic makes sense." Emil said.

"And he helped me, regardless of my family's past." Brittany said.

"Hmm..." Emil thought, "Whatever the case, let's keep this search going."


Later that night, the three Faunas were at the docks.

"Did I miss anything?" Sun asked as he joined Blake and Adam on a warehouse roof.

"Not really." Blake said, "They've offloaded all the crates from the boat."

"I bet they'll be here soon." Adam said.

"Cool." Sun said, "I stole you guys some food."

"Do you always break the law without a second thought?" Blake asked.

"Hey, weren't you guys part of a cult or something?" Sun asked.

Blake and Adam gave Sun very unamused faces.

"Okay, too soon." Sun said.

A few moments later, a bullhead flew overhead and then landed on the dock, offloading some White Fang goons after landing.

"No..." Blake said.

"I was right." Adam said.

"A part of me was hoping that wouldn't be true." Blake said.

"Hey!" Roman Torchwick said, "What's the holdup? We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?"

"I don't remember him being a part of our partnership." Adam said, "I need to find out what's going on."

Adam jumped off of the warehouse.

"Adam?!" Blake asked, jumping after Adam.

"Wait, where are you going?!" Sun asked.

Adam crept through the dock, eventually getting Torchwick in his line of sight.

"No, you idiot! This isn't a leash." Torchwick said as he was talking to a White Fang soldier.

Adam rushed up and put his sword up in front of Torchwick's neck.

"What the-?! Oh for f-." Torchwick said.

"Everyone stand down!" Adam said.

The soldiers turned towards the twosome.

"Brothers of the White Fang, this is Adam Taurus speaking to you! Why do you aid...trash like this?" Adam asked.

"Take it easy there, little buddy." Torchwick said.

"Answer me!" Adam said.

"Oh...wait a minute, aren't you the traitor?" Torchwick asked.

"So what?" Adam asked.

"I have a lovely little friend who's just been dying to meet you." Torchwick said.

Suddenly, the spider Faunas leapt off of one of the shipping crates and dropped down on Adam, kicking him away. Adam got up and looked at the new arrival.

"Scarlett Webb." Adam said, "I see you're finally showing your face again."

"When a high-ranking White Fang member abandons the cause, you know that I'm assigned to take them out." the spider Faunas known as "Scarlett" said.

"Well, you should know that the White Fang has fallen far." Adam said, "Now that you're aiding a man like that, I'm happy I left."

"I'm bringing you back, or you'll die in the process!" Scarlett said.

Scarlett rushed at Torchwick, spinning around and using her spider legs to move around in a wild manner. Adam lifted his sword up and blocked the spider legs from hitting him.

"Blake, Sun, take care of Torchwick!" Adam said, "I'll take care of Scarlett."

"You're going to pay for betraying the White Fang." Scarlett said.

Scarlett swung her spider legs at Adam, who jumped back to dodge the attack.

"It was the White Fang who betrayed themselves!" Adam said.

"That isn't true." Scarlett said, "But I guess we'll just have to take you back by force."

Scarlett swung her fists towards Adam as blades came from the bracelets on her wrists. Adam swung his sword around quickly in order to block Scarlett's blades and spider legs, but Scarlett's speed was so fast that Adam was kept on his toes.

"You've improved, I'll give you that." Adam said.

"And you've declined." Scarlett said.

Scarlett thrust all of her spider legs at Adam, who jumped back to avoid the attack. Scarlett rushed at Adam and jumped, spinning like a drill. Adam lifted his sword up and blocked Scarlett's weapons, launching her back.

An explosion rocked the area, causing smoke to rise into the air nearby.

"Blake!" Adam said.

Scarlett used this opportunity to rush at Adam, hitting him back at a shipping crate.

"Now, are you coming back with me, or are you going to die?" Scarlett asked.

"Sorry, Scarlett." Adam said.

"Then I am sorry too." Scarlett said.

"Not for me, for you." Adam said.

Scarlett gave Adam a strange look. Adam quickly pulled his gun up and fired at Scarlett, sending her flying back.

"Now to help Blake." Adam said.

Adam ran off, leaving Scarlett behind.


Adam came running past the shipping crates, only to see the last bullhead flying off.

"He got away." Blake said.

"Not yet." Adam said, "Give me a boost."

Blake quickly climbed up onto the top of one of the shipping cranes and threw her grabbling hook down to Adam.

"I'll give you guys a hand." Sun said.

Sun focused and created two astral projections. Adam grabbed onto the grappling hook while Sun's clones gave Adam a big push. Adam launched backwards and then swung forward. Adam let go of the grapple and launched into the air. Adam's hair and eyes glowed.

"What's he up to?" a White Fang soldier asked from inside the bullhead.

"I don't know." Torchwick said, aiming his weapon at Adam, "But I intend to stop it."

Adam smirked as he swung his sword, unleashing a whole bunch of stored energy that sliced the bullhead's right turbine off, causing the bullhead to spin out and fall towards the dock. Meanwhile, Adam began to fall.

"Adam!" Blake said.

Blake threw her grapple hook, catching Adam and pulling him back to shore, but Adam still landed in the water. Blake dropped down from the crane and landed near where Adam did.

"Adam, where are you?" Blake asked.

Adam raised his arms out of the water and climbed up onto the dock with Blake's help.

"Thanks." Adam said.

"Where'd that guy go?" Sun asked.

Torchwick climbed out of the recently-crashed bullhead.

"Oh poop." Torchwick said.


"So, Scarlett escaped?" Blake asked.

"Yeah." Adam said, "She'll be back."

"At least we caught Torchwick." Ruby said.

Moments later, Yang, Weiss, Emil, Matthew, and Brittany came walking up. Adam got up to talk to his teammates.

"Look, before you guys say anything, I just want you to know that I was only following Blake." Adam said.

"We've been looking twelve hours for you." Brittany said, "Do you know how tired I am?"

"What she's trying to say is...are you alright?" Matthew asked.

"Yes." Adam said.

"So, is it true?" Emil asked.

"Is what true?" Adam asked.

"Are you a member of the White Fang?" Emil asked.

"I was." Adam said, "But Blake helped me change my ways. I was reluctant at first, but, thanks to people like Matthew and Brittany, I soon saw that not all of mankind is bad."

"I'm glad to hear that." Emil said.

"I'm sorry for holding everything back." Adam said.

"No problem." Matthew said, "You had your reasons."

"Thanks for understanding." Adam said.

"You're our leader." Matthew said, "We'd follow you anywhere."

Adam smiled at his team's happy response. Off on the side, Blake was smiling, knowing that Adam had finally accepted humanity.


That's it for Season 1. I hope it was fun so far. A funny note, Scarlett Webb is based off of Charlotte from Charlotte's Web.

Here's a Season 2 teaser clip.


Scarlett came crawling into the White Fang base on her spider legs, trying to stay in the shadows.

"I assume you failed." a big, bulky, male lion Faunas with a scar on his left eye said.

"Adam was stronger than anticipated." Scarlett said.

"Then I suppose that it is time you accept our help." a male snake Faunas said.

"I suppose so." Scarlett said, "Adam has made his choice..."

Scarlett dropped off of the wall.

"So he shall pay the price." Scarlett said.


Powerhouse out.
