Salutation! Well here's the Chapter 10!

Enjoy!

I would like to point out that I do not own RWBY; it will always be Monty's original creation. This is nothing but a work inspired by him. I do welcome any correction, suggestion, violent reaction (this part means Review) to be able to further developed and lessen any kind of mistakes in the near future as this Story progress on.

Chapter 10: Potential Rival

Under the protection of the night lurks the individuals that have embraced a deal with the devil. They were now either workers or fighters under the new female vanquisher found leader. Her orders were specific and absolute, fail to comply or complete will automatically result to a termination; permanent termination.

Her first order was to find information about a knight in Beacon, it was the primary objective at the moment. But it takes a lot of resources for it to be done assets, weapons, hideouts, Men and especially 'Dust'.

Among the orders were to steal vast amount 'Dust' from across the Vale Kingdom, creating a crumpling effect that will took conclusion after a month will lead to an economic instability. Few of this 'orders also includes assassination of any hindrance to her goals, may it be a public official or private individual that refuse to cooperate.

Of course all of this would not be accomplished without the help of her slightly trusted and slightly loyal ally Torchtwick. He really kept himself busy with all his heist business here and there. Together with his considerable small army has brought quite an attention from the Council.

He was the star of every news across the kingdom, even in the most Wanted list. He didn't stop nor slowed down for anything, after all he was promised something far greater. Something that cannot be purchase even with all the richest of the world combined; immortality.

There were news about increasing 'Dust' robberies all across Vale this past 2 months and the Vale Police force couldn't handle it without the proper aid. Different huntsmen and huntresses were now called to hunt and capture Torchtwick; dead or alive. Even the Schnee 'Dust' Company is suffering from its lost investments in Vale, which is why they have requested a special 'kind' of help.

Agents Abyss and 'West' was now called in for such task.

Back in Beacon Academy, Ozpin was enjoying a cup of Coffee at his office while reviewing some of the school reports he had to deal with. It was due to Glynda's ferocity glare, which he had to comply with her demands, especially with all the paper works that he needs to clear out. He tried to make some excuses but against her it was all but failures, she controls his every schedule.

Glynda took some time to relax and release some tension, it's been quite a busy day for everyone, "There's been a lot of crimes lately" said the tormenting Professor.

Ozpin simply peak at her from what he was doing and said, "So I've noticed".

"Have you heard something about him?"…..

"No, but I am expecting him for quite some time now"…..

"His late? That's the first" said Glynda with surprised yet irritated tone, after all 'he' wasn't the kind of man anything worth praising because of his vices.

"No, he may be a drunkard but he's never late" replied Ozpin….

At the same time at the west gardens of Vale, Ironwood was waiting by the 4th bench. He was expecting the two Agents sent by Atlas after the request he sent. It was a lovely night for Ironwood and he was just enjoying the moment having some quiet time after a long week of classes and combat training. Even with the 5 dead bodies behind the bench, he was calm as an owl waiting for his expected guess. Until there was a rustle near the trees by the lamp post not too far from him, to his surprise the first ones to arrive was Neo and Jaune.

"Sorry Ironwood, are we late?" said Neo

"No actually your on time"...

"Well now, looks like your still as fast as ever Neo" said Jaune giving Neo a pat in the head.

"Hmm! told ya so!"...

"Did you two teleported from Beacon?" asked Ironwood.

"Yup, we can't waste time on traveling, especially Jaune's sickness" said Neo who glared at Jaune.

However Neo smelled the blood that was present in the air so she wanted to check the surrounding.

"Hey I said I'm sorry ok... I can't helped it" said Jaune with a defeated look.

"How about your team? wont they asked your whereabouts?"

"No, it was a habit of mine to take walks before we go to sleep so its fine, they're used to it"

"Very well" said Ironwood.

"Looks like you had some fun here" said Neo who was now looking over the bench.

"Ironwood care to explain?" asked Jaune.

"Before you get any wrong ideas I asked them nicely first, they were following me the entire night."

"And?"...

"They said they'd rather die than to talk, I was trying to convince them but they initial the fight"...

"Looks like fools, thinking they can go against someone like Ironwood"...

"Yeah but..." Ironwood paused when he felt a hand over his right shoulder.

"They aren't fools Neo, they were just too afraid to give a report about them getting caught by their target. Who ever this person is, he must be very intimidating for these people to throw away their lives." said Jaune.

"I see, then such poor soul, may you rest in peace"...

"Neo don't lie" said Ironwood.

"hehe"

After a few minutes two people came from the east corner opposite of where Jaune and Neo came out. One was wearing a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket with a wide, upturned, black collar and a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides. Other one is tan-skinned boy with short spiky light-blonde hair and dark-gray eyes. He wears two red wrist bracers and an open loose collared white jacket with no shirt underneath, displaying his muscular physique. He also wears blue cargo pants tied up with a white belt. He wears white bandages on his legs and has a chain hanging from the belt loop on the right side of his pants

"Sorry we were late sir" said the blue headed teen who saluted before making eye contact.

"It was my fault sir I had to make sure we weren't followed" said the other stranger.

"No problem, its still part of the protocols so your excuse is still valid." said Ironwood.

"They're the agents? seriously Ironwood, is Atlas a Kingdom or a daycare?" tease Neo.

"Hey!-"West, no" said Abyss.

"Neo behave" said Jaune while giving Neo a pinch in the cheek."uummuhmhuh, fine!"

"It was because Atlas now had a relatively young population due the 'Attack' 9 years ago" said Ironwood.

"I see ... well should we carry on" said Jaune.

"Yes, I do want to apologist that, now about your report?" asked Ironwood.

"Well sir about this 'True Order', we did found the location of the Laboratories you sent to us, but we didn't got anything yet" said Abyss

"They're just too elusive and if not well... they have good connection being able to hide all this years" said Mr. West

"Suggestions? Mr. Abyss" asked Ironwood.

"There has to be some one calling the shots, someone who has vast amounts of influential assets"

"Your not wrong there kid" said a voice from the shadows.

"Well now, what took you so long? did you got lost or something; Qrow?" said Jaune

"Shut up, at least I'm don't have motion sickness" said Qrow

The Next Day...

It was a Sunday afternoon when Neo took a stroll around Vale, she decided to check some places here and there. She thought to herself that 'this' could be a way for her to experience the life Jaune wanted for her to see and feel.

Jaune, Ren and Nora went to City to look for a game that was dated to be release that afternoon. So as to kill sometime Neo decided to go to one specific cafe that had a reasonable view and desserts. She have done enough tormenting or teasing Jaune all week, so she was in a mood to relax and have the day for herself.

On her way by the sea side view, she came across some of the local sweet shop, clothing store, weapon supplies, and bookstores. However there was a store closed for the day due to the police tape blocking the entire street. This was the 'Dust till down", ran sack not by money but 'Dust'. It was a small store in the middle of Vale just a street away from the City police station, but who would be insane enough to do that?

Neo was looking at the scene when suddenly someone ran into her. "Owcth!, who- hey that hurt!" Shouted Neo with irritated and angered tone. "Oppss sorry there lil miss, I didn't saw you there" said by the mysterious guys with a yellow hair and tail.

Neo looked at him still pissed, not sure if it was about the comment 'lil' or the part that she nearly got ran over by a monkey. Then out of the corner on the left two police officers shouted form a far "Over there! Get him!"

"Persistent huh… Well sorry again", said the monkey and gone as quickly as he appeared.

"What was that? I didn't know Vale had a Zoo …..." said Neo who was cleaning herself. She didn't pursued the culprit, because she saw the people who's already doing it for her. So she continued to be on her way when she saw some familiar faces just outside 'La Coco Café', it was Ruby, Pyrrha and Blake.

Pyrrha saw Neo from a distance and wave at her, Ruby did too. "Hey Neo, fancy meeting you here" said Pyrrha.

"Yeah, are you with someone?" asked Blake.

"No, I was just enjoying the day with myself….." said Neo with a smile.

"Well wanna to join us? We've been hearing about this café for a week now, so we decided to try it" said Ruby…

"Sure I was already headed here in the first place"…

The café's menu had some quite strange items listed, though nothing out of the ordinary for Neo. Ruby was a bit clueless, so out of curiosity they ordered the items listed under the 'Ice Blended Frappe', having to see some new flavors added. Ruby had her 'JAVA-Chipped' Frappe (the one with a lot of cookie bits of course), Pyrrha had a Vanilla-Strawberry and Blake just had her 'Black-forest'.

The three seemed to be enjoying themselves with the frozen beverages when suddenly Neo came to the table with her order. She was holding something that made the other three widen their eyes at the sight. A 32oz 'Triple Choco Fudge Ice Cream Shake', "Where do you keep that…." Asked the three.

Neo looked at them with a smile and then broke in a light laugh, "HAHAHA I don't know but they taste so good you just don't have to think anymore".

The three just enjoyed the company of each other when an idea suddenly pop out of Blake's mind, "Hey Neo would it be alright if I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"What was it like having Jaune for a brother?" Blake didn't mean to be nosey but seeing Neo who really loves her brother enough to play prank at him. But Jaune always forgives her later on. It wasn't like hers at all.

"Oh Jaune can be moody sometimes but he's always too kind to even get angry. But when it comes to the people he really cares being bullied or hurt, he goes 'Beast Mode' all the way." Said Neo who had a lame smile.

"Really? I never saw him angry, maybe slightly after we met Neo" said Pyrrha.

"Oh if you just saw him then, I bet even Yang couldn't go against him" said Neo who was enjoying her frozen dessert when someone appeared from behind Blake.

"I couldn't win with who now?" asked Yang with a curious smile.

"Oh hi! Yang" said Pyrrha.

"I thought you were with Weiss" said Blake.

"Yeah but she had some phone call, something private I think. So what are you guys doing? Truth or Dare I hope"….

"No Yang were just talking about Jaune"…

"Oh really? I see, going for a reconnaissance mission here, nice one Pyrrha." Said Yang with a grin.

"What….no, Blake happens to have some question here" said the Spartan who almost blush.

"He really loves you huh, I guess that's what old siblings are like" said Ruby who had similar experience.

"Now that you mentioned about it, why is Jaune like 'that'. I mean why is he…..? asked Pyrrha.

"Yeah we saw your fights and between the two of you, you're more kick-ass than him" said Yang with a gesture of her fist.

Neo quickly thought of an excuse to escape the question, "Well you see, Jaune and I had some training since we were kids but he's more of a clumsy" said Neo

"But his fighting style is a bit unpredictable" said Blake who had a taste of one of them.

"Yeah, we saw him fight a lot of times during combat training but he never used those blade nor the movements before" said Pyrrha.

"Well to tell you the truth he really doesn't have a permanent fighting strategy." Said Neo who seemed to divert the question.

"What do you mean?" asked Ruby "Oh this is getting interesting, right Pyrrha?" added Yang.

"Ruby you have a scythe for a weapon, a shield and sword for Pyrrha, a katana and pistol for Blake, and gauntlets for Yang. Jaune doesn't have definitive style nor for a weapon."

Everyone was sceptic about what Neo just said after seeing Jaune's fight, he wasn't exactly keeping a winning streak. Yang didn't want to think about Jaune's capabilities to win a fight, so she thought of a question to divert the conversation.

"Hey Neo I just had to ask, does Jaune has a girl he likes? Yang said with a grin and gesturing next to Pyrrha.

"Yang!" shouted in unison by Pyrrha and Ruby.

"What? It's an honest question and Neo doesn't have to answ—", said Yang while cut off by Neo replying, "Yeah" which caught everyone's attention and had their eye wide open.

"Oh really! Who is—" , "Cut it off Yang!" Ruby had her hands covering Yang's mouth, in an aid to stop her from further discussing such private question.

"Sorry for that….. You don't have to tell anything anymore" said Pyrrha who had a fake smile.

Neo was now just playing around and thought of a way to teased Pyrrha. She wasn't going to let Jaune have some lovers without her approval at lease. "No its ok, to be honest I was quite shock when he told me about it".

"…." A deadly Silence came, asking in thought 'who was it?'.

"And I would happy to have Blake for a sister-in-law!" said Neo with a pleasing smile while holding Blake's hands.

Blake only had her eyes so wide making her pupils contract and her cat ears stood up from shock and disbelief, "WHAT!". The commotion almost cause a scene, especially Pyrrha who didn't expect such level of revelation. Yang wanted to laugh so hard as she saw the smirk Neo had before such statement but she had to hold back.

"Blake? Well I didn't saw that coming" said Ruby

"Ruby!" said Blake

"Good one, Neo"

"Yang!"

"Cong…ratulation Blake." Said Pyrrha who was aching inside.

"Pyrrha!"

"Hehe"

"Neo!"

"Sounds like you're having some fun here" said Jaune who appeared out of nowhere.

"Jaune!...Wait Jaune?" said Blake in surprised after seeing him. He was out of his usual blue jacket and was wearing an inner black shirt and a light blue colored sleeveless polo shirt jacket.

"Hi Blake nice to see you without the bow" said Jaune with a smile.

"Hi Pyrrha, Ruby, Yang, and Neo."

"Hey Jaune" replied Ruby.

"Where's Ren and Nora?" asked Pyrrha.

"We were on our way here, but when we passed by the Market. Nora saw the Eat all you can Pancake at the 'Old Spaghetti House' and I'm sure you already know what happen" said Jaune

"..."

"What brings you here 'Vomit-Boy'" asked Yang

"Well I was looking for Blake, Neo sent me a massage that you guys were here"

Yang's eyes went from Jaune to Blake as the name was mentioned, "Really now?"

"Me? Why?"

"Well I kinda need your help about something"

"Ok…." Said Blake in an awkward manner as she took a glance over Pyrrha. The red head warrior smiled but didn't said anything, though Blake knows she's faking it.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but would you accompany me for the rest of the afternoon?"

"Where are we going?"

"Well I don't know exactly, but I'm looking for something special actually"

"Sounds like you found it already" said Yang in teasing tone but quickly release the scenario with the other 3 girls.

"Found what?"

"Oh nothing just me and my big mouth"

"So Blake what do you say?"

Blake had some hesitation but couldn't say no to someone who helped her a lot, "Sure".

"…"

The two quickly went their way leaving the rest of the girls with mixed emotion and a ton of questions.

"Well that was…. Fast" Said Neo.

"Where do you think they're going?" asked Yang.

"Isn't obvious to a love hotel of course"

"WHAT!" said the two red female.

"Jaune was always about taking care of people he likes and believe me he takes 'care' of them very well. Oh! To think I'll have a niece in no time or maybe a cat but I don't care" said Neo while giggling holding her cheeks.

Neo's words brought so much ridiculous ideas in their mind and some of them were 'too' ridiculous. Ruby and Pyrrha look at each other and with a single nod they understood each other, "We need to follow them" said Ruby, "Agreed".

They were already outside the door and heading to the direction Jaune and Blake went when a familiar voice stopped them, "Hold it right there". They turned their heads at the source and saw Weiss with a guy with blue hair.

"Oh Hi! Weiss" said Neo

"Yeah, what are you guys up to again?"

"What we aren't….up to… something" said Ruby

"Oh really?"

"Hey Weiss who's that" asked Yang gesturing the guy next to Weiss.

"His name is Neptune Vasilias, a new transfer student from Atlas."

"Nice to meet you" said Neptune.

"Yeah I'm Yang, this is Pyrrha, the two little ones are Ruby and Neo", "Hello again"

"A Transfer student? This is a surprised" said Ruby.

"Let me guess he's a 'special' case isn't?" said Neo.

"Yeah… well maybe" said Weiss.

"Oh I remember now, the next entire week is meant for the arrival of the Transfer students. It was for the Vytal festival next year." Said Pyrrha

"That's right, I'm just one of the many who'll be arriving here." Said Neptune.

"Where's your team?" asked Ruby.

"Oh I don't have a team but I do have a partner who went exploring without me. I had to see Weiss though, I haven't seen her in months actually".

"Well now this is interesting, are you two together?" said Yang with a teasing tone.

"What! No were not together-'together'" denied by the blushing Weiss

"Not yet" said Neptune who was looking at her"

"Isn't that Nora and Ren's thing?" asked Ruby which Pyrrha happily replied with a nod.

Weiss had couldn't do anything but blush, it was sight for everyone to see Weiss can blush that much after having the title Ice-queen.

Under the pretentious peaceful night came the roaring sounds of bullhead flying, carrying some crates and men from all the parts of the Kingdom. Along with the delivery load was containers filled with Dust were coming in and out at the Northern port in of Vale, to an abandon factory of some kind. The workers were busy with the collection of 'Dust' and all the weapons they manage to salvage or steal. It was a big operation from the looks of it, this also includes Giant machine that had the Schnee logo on it carefully being aligned by men.

Torchtwick was there facilitating the entire thing from the top office when a sound of broken crate erupted below caught his attention.

"Hey be careful with those crates, they are more expensive than your lives!" said aloud by Torchtwick.

"Sorry boss" replied by the worker

"Seriously, do I have to take care of everything here; bunch of useless bastards!"

Torchtwick was having a sour mood after sleepless nights of heist here and there. So he wanted some relaxing time when someone entered and handed some newspapers to him.

"I do hope you have better results after a week of silence" said Torchtwick with an irritated tone.

"Better than those fools down there" said the stranger

"What do you have?"

"There's this 'dance' in Beacon next month during that event you can execute your plans"

"What kind of opening will a 'dance' give us huh? Ever thought of that monkey boy"

"In a week more transfer students will be arriving here in Vale, in preparation for the Vytal Festival. This includes me, I could get in for more information but this Dance is the nearest opening we'll have to further initiate the plans."

"Hmmm I see, very well monkey boy, good job"

"Would you mind calling me properly with my real name?"

"Fine…. Go back to what you were doing and I'll send the paycheck later 'Sun Wukong'".

"Thanks, see that wasn't so hard"

"Go now before I lessen that paycheck with another 'zero'"
