...Chapter 10...

[Vale hospital - The Next day]

Team JST exit the Hospital's team RWBY behind. Jason sees Yang's motorcycle parked next to Snowbird's new car. After Troya's second attempt on the lives of team RWBY, everyone agreed to a truce. Jason is still bitter about Julie's death. Losing your best friend is a tough pill to swallow. He feels like a failure for her passing when it's his job to protect his team.

Looking at the bike gives Jason an idea. "Frosty can I borrow the keys?" Yang looks at him with a suspicious scowl. "Let's leave bumblebee out of your hate-boner for us!" She says in a threatening voice. Jason rolls his eyes before flipping her off.

"Don't flatter yourself jailbait, You wouldn't be able to handle it. Now see you guys in Ozpin's office. Before you guys can do something stupid, report to him! He has final say on all Huntsman activity in the kingdom." He orders them as his team-mates enter the expensive car.

"Jason don't be a dick!" Troya chastises her leader, even getting in his face. To hide her demonic eye now wears an eyepatch. Jason pinches the bridge of his nose. "Fine Foxy but when they screw up and we both know they will I won't say I told you so."

Snowbird's hands tremble as she touches the steering wheel. Getting flashbacks of the accident in her mind. "Miss Frost are you alright?" Glynda asks patting her on the back. Snowbird starts looking sick. She even runs over to a nearby tree to throw up. Jason makes sure to keep the bangs out of her face. "Frosty, maybe Mom should drive. Are you feeling alright? I've never seen you throw up before!" Jason says to her, worried about his Partner. He hands her a napkin.

Snowbird hands are still trembling. "I-I'm fine! I don't think I'm ready to get behind the wheel without having flashbacks. Also really glad I had a light breakfast." She says wiping her face clean. She gives Glynda her keys. Who in turn give her an antacid.

Glynda looks at team RWBY for a second. "If you girls wish to have your friend saved. Meet us at Beacon. Before anything can be done about Mr. Wukong! A report needs to be filed!" She says in her trademark stern tone. Weiss walks up Snowbird actually hugs her.

"I just want you to know we appreciate you helping us, even after what we did to you! And after all, this is over c-can we get to know each other Snowbird?" She asks the older white haired woman. Snowbird pats her on the head as she gets back in her car. A friendly smile on her face. "That's going to take some time, kid. You gotta earn our forgiveness remember."

Troya walks up to Ruby with her scroll out. "If You're not in Ozpin's office call me. Though with The Schnee Matriarch's glyphs you can get there instantly."

Glatteis eyes flash blue as a glyph forms behind her. Unlike her daughters, She can use her semblance without any effort at all. "Let's go, I REALLY need to cut somebody to pieces! So the faster this bullshit is sorted out the better!" A battalion of Atlas Ships flies over head, in the direction of Beacon. A malicious grin forms on the face of the Schnee Matriarch. "Winter remember when I said I'll kill Iron Bitch the next time I see him?" Glatteis says while pulling a revolver out. "A proper lady always keeps her word." She says with a big smile on her face.

[White Fang base]

Sun Wukong has been tortured around the clock. Every hour a different horrible act inflicted on him. One hour tied to a steel bed frame and electrified with a car battery repeatedly. Sun's screams would be heard all over if the dungeon wasn't soundproofed.

"You people are monsters! I'm a Faunus myself and you're doing this to your own kind! WHAT DO YOU GAIN OUT OF THIS?!" Sun screams at the White Fang henchman after the mouthpiece comes out. Eve watches with a smile from a velvet chair.

"You know brother Wukong, A long time ago I was in that bed frame. I was a little girl at the time who never even seen the outside world." She casually says as if she wasn't the one having him tortured. She slowly walks up to him with a few photos in her hand.

"The pain can stop if you become my tool. Or should I say, my Slayer! What do you say?" She offers him out of pretend pity. She shows him photos of Troya Starling, a woman he has never met before.

"This beautiful yet temperamental creature attends Beacon Academy. She goes by the name Troya Starling but in reality is APEX Thirty-Four. My queen has tasked me with her safe retrieval. My deal is, work for me willingly and want for nothing. You'll be well taken care of for someone who is not even legally considered a person anymore."

She leans into his ear to whisper. "Or keep suffering indignities a thousand fold and have that foolhardy mind of yours unravel. The choice is yours Brother Wukong, make the right one." Sun waste no time spitting in Eve's one visible eye. One of her henchmen nearly shoots him point blank in the back of the head for that. Fortunately, Eve orders him to stop with a hand gesture. The White Fang leader whips her eye with a handkerchief. "Very well, Bring them in men."

A White Fang goon drags three monkey faunus into the room. Sun's eyes go wide with horror as his family is carted in. His father beaten black and blue but still breathing thankfully. His mother has his terrified baby sister Luna in her arms. Both seem shaken but unharmed, but all tied up. Muffled screams can be heard. One of Eve's henchman gives her a freshly sharpened machete. "What are you doing with that!? A desperate Sun asks while trying to break free. "They have nothing to do with this! Please let them go, it's me you want!"

"Did you honestly believe you can cross the White Fang and suffer no consequence? We burned your home to the ground you know. Your whole village is a pile of ashes by now. But I'm a busy woman, So let's cut this monologue short." Without warning Eve cuts the head of Sun's father clean off with a single swing. Blood splattering on Sun's face as he goes berserk. "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Sun roars with pure hate, his tears hitting the floor. Two of Eve's henchmen aim their guns at his mother and sister. A smile forms on Eve's Jet-black lips.

"Pick the one who dies, the one you don't pick will be spared. However, take too long and both die. Make your choice brother Wukong and make it fast I have a schedule to keep." She tells him while wiping his father's blood on him. "Why are you doing this? What do you gain out of this?!" Sun asks his capture.

"Make your choice Brother Wukong. I'm not going to tell you again." She threatens him in a nonchalant tone. Sun is panicking, no sane person can make a choice like this. Both options are equally horrible. Let your mother die and save your infant sister. Or let the aforementioned sister die and save your mother. After the last time he broke his shackles, Eve had them replaced with stronger ones rigged with explosives. He has no third option, he has to choose.

His mother somehow manages to remove her mouthpiece. "Sun pick me and save Luna! Forget about me and just save your sister!" She screams at him, fear in her voice.

"Well Brother Wukong, is that what you want?" Basilisk asks her. Sun can't muster up the courage to say it outright. "I-I'm sorry mom!" is all he can say before... *BANG!*... a bullet enters his mother's head. The crying baby in her arms is taken by Eve. "Drop this girl off at an orphanage. A good one too, one that will provide exemplary care for her." She orders a henchman as she hands her over. "But first allow dear Brother Wukong say his goodbyes, This is the last he'll be seeing of his only family. The henchmen raise the child up to her older brother's face. "I'll come find you! I love you Luna!" Sun lowers his head, defeated and broken.

One of her henchmen approaches. "Boss I have an update on The Slayer Six you sent to Beacon! They say the Targets are in sight and awaiting your orders." He says while saluting her. "Tell them to wait tell they're most vulnerable and then show no mercy. Remember to bring in Sister Belladonna alive." She runs a finger through his blonde hair with a smirk. "You won't be suffering alone. Blake the turncoat will be right by your side."

[Snowbird's car]

Glynda and team JST are a thirty-five-minute drive to Beacon from the hospital. Snowbird turns on the radio, An unfortunate song plays.

~I hear your heartbeat to the beat of the drums! Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone! So while you're here in my arms! Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young! We're gonna die young! We're gonna die young! Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young!~

Snowbird quickly turns the radio off. "Ironic, Julie really loved that song," Troya says while everyone nods in agreement. "So what else do we know about this Basilisk bitch Miss Goodwitch?" Jason asks from the back seat, getting down to brass tax.

"Apart from being number one on the Atlas most wanted list, nothing relevant to this case yet. Mr. Arc admitted to being her childhood friend. You never know who goes to the dark side. Her twin sister Morgana is a first year at Beacon but she disowned Eve when she joined the White Fang. Even having her last name changed to avoid association with a terrorist." The deputy Headmistress of Beacon explains. The three younger Huntsman instantly recognize the name, Morgana.

"Wait when you say Morgana, do you mean Morgana Farancia? She is a friend of ours. We have a lot of classes together." Jason says in total shock.

"And here I thought I hated my sisters." Snowbird quips with her mouth hanging open. "Still, it has to be hard being related to a monster like that."

Troya is sitting in the back seat, staring longingly into her photo of Julie. "She's Beautiful, I see why you loved her so much." An unknown voice of a woman whispers into her ear. Troya nearly jumps out of her seat. She looks around for who or what said that.

"D-Did you guys hear that?" She asks her team and Glynda in confusion. Jason who is sitting next to her puts his hand on her forehead. "You're not running a fever? And despite recent events, I don't believe you're crazy..." Jason says to her with visible worry.

Troya takes out a mirror. Removing her eye patch to look at her changed eye. Instead of her reflection, she sees the figure from her nightmare. Suddenly Troya finds herself back in the hellish landscape from her nightmare. She sees the Grimm-like woman atop a hill. "Who are you and what connection do you have to me?!" The figure vanishes in a puff of black smoke. She reappears behind affectionately hugging her. "Troya Starling, the name is a poor fit don't you think Foxy? Not at all like the name I had planned for you. Your real name is Kuzunoha Vulpes."

"While we're on the subject of names, who are you?" Troya asks the figure while noticing her face is similar to her own. "In due time my dear. For now, know that I love you and I'm proud of how strong you've become! Before I allow your conscious mind back to reality, allow me to give you a warning. Do not trust Ozpin or those close to him. Take care of yourself, I'll be watching over you." She says as the world around Troya fades away.

"Yo Foxy wake up we're here," Jason tells her shaking her awake. "The fuck was that about, you just passed out?" Troya wakes up in the Beacon parking lot.

Troya puts her eyepatch back on before leaving the car. "I have no clue what is happening to me Jason, I'm scared!" She says with trembling hands. Jason unceremoniously flicks her in the forehead. "I'm not letting anything else happen to you, don't worry." He says to her with a cocky grin. Troya calms down a little as the two walk up to Glynda and Snowbird.

Glynda waits for her son in the elevator with Snowbird. "I hope Glatteis can keep her homicidal temper in check. If that woman goes on the warpath, the whole academy could be destroyed."

Snowbird is a little disturbed about Glynda's fear of Glatteis Schnee. After her fight with The Atlesian Dragon, Snowbird did her research on her biological mother. She found an unsettling truth about the battle. Glatteis was drastically holding back her true strength. The whole fight was her just testing Snowbird. In a real battle, Frosty would be dead before she hit the ground. Jason and Troya quickly enter the elevator and the four go to the top floor.

In the parking complex, a group of Eve's elite henchman walks out of the shadows. The Slayer Six, all have a number in the place of a name. Unlike the standard White Fang, Slayers are equipped with better armor and weapons. Five of them don't wear masks at all.

The female of the group has a smirk as blows a kiss at Jason the second before the doors close. A young lady with Blue/White hair and gills on her tan neck. A fang sticks out of her mouth. "Dibs on the cute blonde! ~Oh I could just sink my teeth into him!~" She says aiming her trident/Machine gun at the elevator. Her aquamarine eyes flash with excitement.

"Keep it in your pants Two! We're going after weaker pry first!" A deep raspy voice from the shadows says. Two salutes him with genuine respect. "Yes sir, Number One! Can I still have my fun with that delicious piece of meat?" She asks baring her shark teeth in a smile.

"If you perform well I'll let you have your fill."

[Ozpin's Office]

Team RWBY is already giving their report to their Headmaster. Joining him is General Ironwood, fresh off his ship. What is left of his ear is covered in bloody bandages. He glares at Glatteis with quiet fury. Glatteis however just laughs in his face. "How's the ear, Jimmy?" She asks in between laughs. Winter stands at attention to her commanding officer. "Sir, Please forgive my moth ..." Glatteis puts her finger on her oldest daughter's lips. An enraged scowl on her face. "Winter dear I love you, but don't you fucking EVER apologize for me! I'm a grown ass woman who can speak for herself! Honestly, you're the pure opposite of your father." Winter loses her cool at that last remark, yanking the hand out of her face."AND WHOM MIGHT THAT BE MOTHER?!"

"Ahem!" Glynda says stepping out of the elevator. "Everyone please, take a seat." Glynda commands her colleagues and students. Everyone but Glatteis does what she asks. "Team RWBY, Have you reported the Wukong abduction yet?" She politely asks them.

"We have been trying to, but Mother and General Ironwood got into a stand-off! May we begin finally?" Says Weiss respectfully.

"Yes, of course, Miss Schnee please begin." Ozpin says warmly. Weiss takes a polite bow before speaking, her face unhappy.

"Not long ago, We the members of team RWBY commenced an unsanctioned mission to apprehend Crimelord Roman Torchwick. At first, we just gathered information on his movements with the White Fang."

Blake Belladonna tags in for Weiss. "Me and our friend Sun Wukong infiltrated a recruitment drive. Roman was there giving them Atlas tech. We had no idea the weapons were bugged." Ironwood walks up to them unamused.

"I hope you girls know you caused some of my best men and women their lives!" RWBY has a collective gasp in horror. "I had my best Faunus soldiers join their ranks as double agents. With that stunt you pulled, they got found out and murdered! You four children belong in a jail cell!" The General says with every adult in the room agreeing. Rudy sinks into her seat.

"We know." The young girl whimpers before standing right back up. Anger consuming the young girl. "You can do whatever you want to us later! But right now our friend is in danger and somebody has to fucking save him. If none of you true Huntsman is going to help, then stay out my way!"

Normally Yang would not approve of Ruby cursing, but she's letting it slide. Glatteis starts laughing her ass off. "Oh sweetie that is adorable, but you are in WAY over your head. This is the big leagues and you kids are bench-warmers! IF you go at this at your current level of skill You-will-all-die."

Glatteis starts looking at Ozpin. "Which is why I'll be training you four as the new Professor. I'll begin training you in Burst first thing tomorrow. Now, go get some rest girls."

Confused and angry Weiss yells at her own mother,"But our friend's life is in danger!" Glatteis bitch slaps her own daughter in the face. The heiress gets knocked three feet away with a trickle of blood on her lips. "You are not strong enough to save anyone yet! Now get out of my sight."

Team RWBY quietly leave with Weiss feeling betrayed. After they are gone Jason to speak up. "Ok I know I'm not there biggest fan, but that was a little harsh!" Snowbird is now shooting daggers her way too, arms crossed.

Glatteis pinches the bridges of her nose. "Well, I'm not apologizing! They are not ready for that kind of action! Eve and her Slayers are powerful Burst users. Not at my league mind, you but RWBY would be slaughtered. It was a mistake not Burst training Weiss when she was younger."

Outside a violent thunderstorm starts with heavy rain.

[Team RWBY - Dorms]

Team RWBY is right outside their dorm-room. Weiss has an ice-pack on her cheek. "Well, that was a thing!" Exclaims Yang as she opens the door. Slayer Two is in the room reading Blake's copy of Ninja's of Love. "Now that's a Katana!"

"Who are you and what are you doing in here!?" Two puts down the book, looking at Team RWBY with boredom. "This is going to be too easy!" The five other Slayers have the team cornered. Slayer One has Yang's motorcycle crushed into a ball in his hands. "Eve Basilisk sends her regards!"
