I sat down with my team. "Okay. So yesterday we didn't cover much ground. So I think today, we should split up. That way we'll be able to cover more ground and hopefully find her faster." After a quick agreement from all three of my teammates, I clapped. "Awesome. I'll see you guys later." We each went in different directions from the intersection we were all standing in. I pulled out my map once I was a pretty good distance away from them. I looked at the different places I marked on it. They were all the cafes in the city. I just have to find one with a terrace outside. One with two faunus on it.

In between the third and fourth cafe I had a thought. Where did Blake and Sun stay overnight? I'm guessing not in the dorms, someone should have noticed them there. Did they rent a hotel room? Two hotel rooms maybe, one would be super weird. Surely they didn't sleep in an alleyway.

I continued thinking about this, and in between the fourth and fifth cafe, I had an idea. What if they squatted in someone else's house? I think Sun would be okay with that, but I doubt Blake would just go along with that. Though of course, Sun could just have a friend in Vale that they stayed with. That explanation makes the most sense.

After the eighth cafe, I decided something. I don't like this. The cafes aren't exactly close, and it's hot. So what I'm doing, is getting a nice ice cold lemonade, and heading down to the docks, where I know they'll be later.

So after getting a lemonade from the ninth cafe, which was on the way, I headed down to the docks. I was sitting down in what would have been the thirteenth cafe, it was right next to docks. That's when I decided to pull out my phone. My scroll, sorry old habits. Something was bothering me. It had been bothering me for a while, but now seemed like a nice time. I pulled open my messages and looked at my conversation between me and Echo. This is something that should not exist. I never gave her my number, and she didn't give me hers. I looked up at the texts before what she sent me before, and me trying to get more information out of her. Then I saw something I hadn't noticed before. "Hey Echo, here's Jade's number! (=ඔᆽඔ=)" What? What the crap? Who sent this and how did they get access to my scroll? Did one of her friends hack it? The text was sent during our conversation. So it must not have been her teammates. Or maybe it was some other method.

I shook my head and decided to change what I was thinking about. I decided to move on to the text she actually sent. Afterwards, she replied to what I said with stupid stuff that gave me no information. I frowned at what she said. She wouldn't touch me, what does that mean? That we wouldn't fight? But what if we got matched up? Like, in the Vytal festival. Does that mean that she would target other people on my team? That's weird. But why would she bring that up?

Of course, she could mean that… romantically? I smiled and laughed a bit. No that wouldn't work. Because that would require Pyrrha to think of me like that. And I'm not that lucky. But you know…

An alarm went off on my scroll, jerking me out of my thoughts. Well, time flies when you're… my eyes went back to gold. But what were they before? I didn't recognize that feeling. That was weird.

But whatever. Let's go. I left some lien on the table because I took up a table, so they lost some service. Then I started walking down to the docks. I tried looking around for Blake and Sun but didn't see them. I waited around for a while, playing a game on my scroll, and occasionally looking up to see if anyone arrived. And no one did. Eventually, some White Fang members showed up. It looked like they were scouts. They started spreading out, making a perimeter. So I backed off a little bit.

Eventually, Blake and Sun showed up, so I pulled out my scroll. I found my group chat with the rest of my team. I mostly ignore this, as Nora is very good at finding weird pictures of cats on the internet. Not even normal cute pictures, like weirdly edited cats. I need my sleep, so I don't look at them. I sent out a message. "Hey everyone, I found Blake. We're over by the docks. Well, she doesn't know I'm here. But she's at the docks. Might need help."

"On my way." Pyrrha said.

"I'm coming over." Ren told everyone.

"Where are the docks?"

"Where are you, Nora?"

"I'm by this weird candy shop, Blood Sweets and Tears."

"I know where that is!" I interjected. "It's right by The Codfather."

"Okay, well…" Ren started giving Nora instructions, so I put my scroll away. I looked up to see two bullheads landing. There's Roman. They landed, and some White Fang members exited the flying crafts. They started getting everything ready. Then two people walked out. One was who I expected, Roman Torchwick, who was yelling at the White Fang to hurry up. But the other person was someone new. They had on some futuristic looking white armor on, with two slightly curved things on her back. They were long, reaching from above her head down to around her thighs.

Blake jumped down and held her blade to Roman's throat. "Nobody move!" She threw off her bow and yelled at the White Fang. "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?"

Roman laughed at her. "Oh kid, didn't you get the memo?"

"What are you talking about?" Blake yelled at him.

"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together."

"Tell me what it is or I'll end your little business venture." Blake pressed her blade harder on Roman's throat.

"I would advise you to move away from Mister Roman." The mystery girl finally spoke.

"Why?" Blake asked.

The girl smirked. "Because our business isn't very little." Several more bullheads flew overhead. I'm glad I messaged Pyrrha, I think I'll need her help. Then an explosion went off, and Blake went flying. I started running over then. Roman sent some more shots after Blake, before Sun distracted him, by jumping on his face and slamming his head into the ground. The girl moved forward to stop him, but I shot at her with my left gun, making a small patch of ice on her torso. She turned to look at me and smiled. "Interesting." She threw her arms out, making them go straight. Then the things on her back shot out down her arms, stopping at her wrists. Then they rotated around so they were on the inside. She grabbed them, and they transformed. They transformed into double swords.

Okay, so I know we're enemies and all, but that was really cool. It might not have sounded cool, but in person, it was awesome. I switched both of my guns to constant mode and spun the dust to ice. I fired continuous lasers, to try and slow her movements. But her armor protected her and she was strong enough to break off the ice. I switched tactics and spun my left gun to turn it into a dagger. I changed my right gun into burst mode and spun the dust revolver. I fired a bunch of shots, with steam erupting from where each laser hit. I ran into the smokescreen I created. I stabbed her with my dagger. This caused a direct current to run through her armor. Sadly, this didn't cause paralysis, the armor must have distributed it too much. But it did hurt, I could tell. She winced, and then got mad. She kicked me, pushing me back. She then swung one of her double swords at me. I tried to block with my dagger, but her sword passed through it. It hit me in the head, and I was knocked to the ground. I bounced up in the other direction, to get some range. She started spinning her swords. I couldn't tell what she was doing, but it didn't look natural. Maybe it has something to with her semblance? I holstered my guns and drew a sword. Then I grabbed my extra hilt and drew another sword. In my right hand I had a dark purple sword, and in my left, I had my brown blade, which is earth. Perfect, I got what I wanted. I sliced upwards with the earth blade, warping the ground into spikes, arcing towards her. I then ran to the left right. She walked between the spikes, still spinning her swords, then ran at me. She sliced through me.

"What the crap?" She muttered under her breath. I then channeled my aura into my sword and sent a sword beam at her. It hit her sword, and her sword jumped up a few feet, flying out of her hands. She turned and looked at me. "Oh," She said in disgust. "You're like Emerald."

"Emerald?" I acted confused.

"Yeah, she's just some…" She dashed at me suddenly, tackling me to the ground. "I'll know where you are if I'm touching you." She then pressed a sword against my throat, a small cut forming, with her other hand holding my wrist in a death grip. I must be out of aura. "Surrender." A gunshot rang out. "Hah, you won't distract me with…" She was thrown off of me. I looked to where it came from and saw Pyrrha. Ren and Nora should be here soon.

"Thanks!" I yelled at her.

"Frost! Get over here!" I heard Roman yell.

I looked over and Penny was just destroying everything, tearing bullheads apart left and right. Roman was about to escape. The girl, Frost I guess, looked back at me. Her eyes flitted down and back at me. She picked up Pyrrha's javelin, which is what must have hit her, and threw it at me, before running away. I started to get up, but then the blade glowed black and stuck into the ground. I sighed in relief and got up.

Pyrrha ran up and hugged me. "I'm so glad you're safe!"

I hugged her back. "Thank you so much for saving me, that could've been bad." I suddenly realized the position I was in. I jumped back. "Sorry!" I looked down at the ground, scratching my neck. "I just- that could've been bad. I was out of aura." I lifted my head up to show her the cut on my neck, looking to the side, not meeting her eyes. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." I met her eyes and she smiled.

"Well," I looked over at Ruby and Blake. "Looks like Blake's safe. Do you think we should go back?"

"Yeah." She looked around. "Did Nora and Ren ever get here?"

"I don't think so."

"Jade!" I heard Nora yell.

I smiled. "I stand corrected. Hi Nora!"

"Hi!" She ran up with Ren in tow.

"Sorry Nora, but we're done." I gave her an apologetic smile. "We found Blake and fought off some White Fang. Along with Roman and some weird girl."

"Aww, I wanted to help." Nora told us.

"It's okay Nora. Next time something like this happens, I'll make sure you can take someone out. Is that okay?" I asked her.

"Sure!" She immediately perked up.

Ok, well, let's head back to the dorms." I said. I patted her on the shoulder as I caught up to her while we started walking back.

The next day everyone was called into an assembly. Ozpin walked up to the mike and began addressing us. "Hello, students. I regret to inform you that we have been forced to expel five of our students. Because of the attempt on another students life, Team CRDL and Eachann have been expelled from Beacon Academy. Even if it was meant as a prank or some harmless fun, it could have killed them. Do not try and copy what they have done. We are here to learn to fight evil, not each other. We are here to work together, not against each other. We are here to learn. Do not fight each other, make friends not enemies. Work together, learn together, and fight together. I hope that you will be able to learn from their mistakes, good day."

Holy crap. I did not expect that. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this.

Though, I mean, it makes sense. They did nearly kill me with those rapier wasps. I feel bad for the cow faunus though. He was probably forced into it but didn't stand up to them like Jaune did. That makes me sad. Maybe I can do something to make it up for him. But that would require me to actually run into him. That probably won't happen, so I won't worry about it.

Hey everyone, here's the tenth chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! School seems like it's going to be a big load this year, so I'm sorry if I can't upload regularly. I'm also sorry about making excuses. I don't want you to feel sorry for me, I'm just explaining.

Also, side note here, I'm only ten chapters in and this is already over half the length of TtJRS! I'm pretty excited about this, I feel like this is going very well.

Well, I hope you have a good day!
