Chapter 11 Battle against Akatsuki Pt 1

Blake Belladonna, former member of the White Fang and once a proud protege to Adam Taurus, himself. She had been in many life threatening situations and always came through due to her always remaining calm but she could feel the cold ways of anger rolling off Adam as he glared at her from behind the mask on his face.

"What are you doing here... Blake!?" Adam asked, Blake flinch at his tone taking a step back causing Jaune to tense, (She scared...? Blake is actually scared...?) Jaune gasped at seeing the stated she was in, never had he seen the normally calm and collected member of team RWBY frighten in such a way as now.

"Blake, we've been looking for you for so long, but why are you in a place like this? Are you really working for Moxxi!?" Ilia asked standing before her with her weapon at the ready, Blake stood back shriving from the cold glare Adam was giving her, even with his eye mask she could feel him glaring at her.

"Answer her Blake, why are you are?" Blake away from the coldest in Adam's voice, Jaune couldn't help but be stun at the fear Blake was showing, the normally calm and cool Blake shaking like a frighten child cause his skin to crawl.

"Back off!" Jaune shouted stepping in front of Blake, Adam's eye brows twitch at seeing Jaune trying to protect Blake, "And just who the hell are you!?" Adam all but growl sending chills down Jaune's back at the glare he got, (This guy is bad news.) Jaune thought gulping he knew his skills were far beneath Blakes, and for her to be this scared of Adam meant Jaune didn't stand a chance. Still Jaune would stand his grounds, he'd find away to protect Blake.

"Jaune NO!" Blake yell grabbing him by the hood and pulling him behind her, it seems she finally snapped out of her fear induced paralysis and found the will t protect him, "Stand back Jaune, you can't beat him!" Blake stated firmly while holding her blade out at Adam. This seem to agitate him even more.

"Blake... are you siding with humans now? Why? Why would you do this to us!?" Ilia cried as Adam step closer to her causing Blake to push Jaune back as she move them away from the three.

"Blake... after everything we've been through together, why would you hurt me like this." Adam asked taking another step forward and Blake back away in turn while pushing Jaune with her, (This is bad, I don't think I can take Adam on yet and Jaune is by no means ready to fight any of them!) Blake's mind was racing as she tried to think of a way out while still backing away with Jaune as Adam grip his sword.

"Blake, just how long will you-" 'SKIEW' Adam pause his advance when a javelin struck down right in front of him surprising everyone, Adams if his eyes were showing they'd be seen as narrow slits as Nidalee landed between the White Fangs and the Beacon Students kneeling with her back to the White Fang.

"Nidalee, The Bestial Huntress." Ilia whisper in fright as she and the others stood back, Nidalee stood up her head turn to them enough to reveal a savage yet gleeful expression on her face.

"Adam... are you picking on Blake again? Moxxi told you before that you needed to be nicer to the girl ya know." Nidalee said watching him grip his sword.

"So she working for you now?" Adam asked, Nidalee turn to him fully her grin widening, leaning forward a bit Nidalee take on a hatched over and almost malformed position.

"Just for this job yes, I was as surprise as you when she showed up." Nidalee replied eyeing the arm which hand was gripping his sword tightly but not for the reasons one would think.

"I see your right arm has recovered, how wonderful! Moxxi had been worry that she was a bit too hard on you for your... hmmm, mischievousness." Nidalee said causing a notable twitch, not just from Adam, but also Ilia, the lieutenant, and even Blake.

"I hope you don't think to badly of her, Moxxi really likes you ya know... but you were being naughty, so she had to punish ya." something seem to snap in Adam at Nidalee's mocking words, snatching Wilt from Blush Adam strike at Nidalee only for her to grab her the Javelin and block his attack.

"What wrong, did I say something bad?" Nidalee asked smirking as he tried to push her back, ignoring her Adam turn to Ilia and the lieutenant, "Slight change of plans, I will deal with Nidalee, capture Blake and kill her friend!" Adam order coldly shocking Blake and Jaune. Nidalee just grinned.

"Belladonna, Arc, don't go and get yourselves killed now." Nidalee told them before the battle between her and Adam begin, Blake just stared down Ilia and the lieutenant, both of whom were poise to attack.

"Ilia, I don't want to have to hurt you, but if either of you try to harm Jaune... I won't have a choice." Blake stated with firmly with resolve in her voice, Jaune by now who had been completely quite is beginning to understand what was going on, it was clear to him that Blake use to be with the White Fang but had left, even Jaune could figure that much but clearly left. However it seem they her old friends weren't to happy about her leaving.

"I can't believe your siding against us Blake." the Lieutenant growl pulling out a chain saw and getting a gulp from Jaune, (I'm... going to have to fight him aren't I!?) Jaune thought feeling his blood freeze at the notion.

"I'm... I'm sorry but I can't fight for injustice anymore, what the White Fang has become is not what I fought for." Blake replied pointing Gambol Shroud at the two members of the White Fang.

"BLAKE! Your coming back with us whether it be willing or by Force!" the Lieutenant howl, Blake gave them a grim look as she made sure to stay in front of Jaune, "Jaune stay behind me, do not leave my side no matter what!" Blake order, Jaune just gulp and nodded, (This is bad, I can't take both of them on at the same time and Jaune is by no means ready to face either of them... Naruto! Yang! Where are you!?) Blake thought desperately.

"GAAAHHHHH!" Kiba Inuzuka gasp as he was thrown back into the hall of the ship, denting the wall, gasping for breath and managing to stay on his feet Kiba looked up at the daunting Blond that almost seem to be towering over him.

"Damn girl you hit hard." Kiba mutter as his arm fell limp at his side, Yang had broken it in one blow... along with most of his ribs. Yang grinned at the Dog Faunus before her.

"So I've been told, but your pretty tough." Yang commented looking down at Kiba who felt sweat rolling down his face, (My ribs are broken, this chick is way too strong, it like every time I hit her, her power grows... it got to be her Semblances.) Kiba thought slowly backing away from the towering blond who noticed he was reaching for some thing behind his back.

"Sorry but I'm backing out for now, the White Fang ain't paying me enough to die for them." Kiba said 'POOOOF' a smoke bomb was thrown causing Yang to have to cover her face, "Thank for the party, I'll show you some fun of my own next time!" Kiba called as the smoke cleared and he was gone.

"Damn, he got away!" Yang growl then wench, she had several crack ribs and a bloody lip, (What the hell was with up that drilling attack of his, it was painful as fuck!) Yang thought angrily as she remember the moment it impacted on her it felt like a hundred blades were being grind into her body at once. 'BABOOOOM' a massive blast ring at bring Yang's attention to the left where the other side of the deck was at.

"Miss Xiao Long, we'll handle things here, please go see what is happening on the other side of the ship!" one of the black suited grunts yelled as he and his ally's fought back against the White Fang. "Got it, try not to die on me!" Yang replied as she ran off.


Noxus, capital of Vacuo

"It would seem your mission has been completed... Itachi." Pain the leader of Akatsuki spoke as he look at the image of the rogue Uchiha and the small figure of a girl standing next to him.

"So this is the misfit known as White Rock Shooter: Sing Love." Zyra purred as what look like a young girl look around in awe.

"I've heard so much about you guys from my spy bots but I got to say, I'm impressive with your Projection Technique. It's far more advance then even my own." Sing said with approve while Pain's eye's narrow at hearing Sing was spying on them.

"So I take it, you'll be joining our merry little band." Twisted Fate said as his image flicker several cards appeared in his hands as he stared at her, "Oh course, I'd been trap in the Threshold for so long after my fight with Ozpin's pet bird and Moxxi, plus with my 'Sister' ruining my Grateful Sun Project it not like I have anything better to do." Sing said causing many eyes to widen.

"You... you fought against Moxxi!?" Hidan asked, Sing look at the image then notice suddenly everyone's attention was come completely focused on her, even Itachi look dead at the girl.

"If you want to call it that, then yes." Sing replied then her eyes narrowed at Pain suddenly becoming very serious.

"Your not planing on fighting her are you... cause if you are, I almost think I'd rather go back to the Threshold." Sing stated getting a some what surprised look from Pain.

"You, who is known for causing trouble no matter the risk, fear Moxxi?" Pain question, Sing seem to think for a moment before speaking.

"Let me ask you this, you lot have done enough of you homework to know I'm not from this world but not to know how I was trap in the Threshold." Sing ask.

"We know you came into conflict Ozpin's forces and fled to Threshold after you were wounded... we were unaware Moxxi had been involved." Pain replied, Sing thought on this for a second then spoke.

"I see, then let me tell you this, there is something wrong about Moxxi, both with her power and her very being." Sing stated.

"It's almost like a part of her is not even real, like her Aura, or rather part of it is not real... or maybe I shouldn't say that, that part is real but it died a long time ago." Sing said.

"This is the first world you've come to with life yes, maybe your just not use to running into beings who match your power and surpass it?" Zyra offer looking at the girl however Sing just smiled.

"Believe it or not this is not the first world I've come across with a human kind on it, but rather the fourth, however none of the countless humans I've seen come even come to Moxxi." Sing continue on.

"If there is anything in this world that I could say is comparable to her... it would be that weird 'thing' I met at the edge, you know the one." Sing said, Pain just stare at her, (Salem.) he thought.

"Well like I said, I'd rather avoid fighting her if I could, but let get back to the matter at hand." Sing turning to Itachi with a beaming smile.

"Mister Itachi told me guys work in pairs right? If Mister Itachi is my partner then I see no reason to turn you down." Sing said grinning at Itchi was merely blink at the girl then turn back to the group.

"I'll use my power to help you with your goals... as long as I can stay by his side." Sing stated causing many to raise an eye brow at the girl.

"You seem to have taken quiet a liking to Itachi, is there any reason why?" Evelynn ask standing next her partner Twisted Fate, Sing simply smile.

"Who knows, maybe... I just like strong guys! But don't worry I'll be a good girl." Sing replied, Pain who had kept quite while closely observing Sing Love, looking for any signs of her true intentions but couldn't find any.

"Very well, I welcome you to our ranks, you will be partner with Itachi and shall do everything he says. Itachi, White Rock Shooter is know for causing havoc, keep her in line!" Pain order with narrow eyes at the rogue Uchiha who merely close his eyes and nodded while Sing pouted.

"Awww, I told you guys to call me Sing Love! Call me Sing at least!" Sing cried in a childish manner.

"Itachi for the time being I have no tasks for either you or White Rock Shooter," Pain ignoring her request, "find a place to relax. You two are on standby." with that his image flicker then vanish.

"Also the meeting has ended, you may all leave and return to your tasks at hand." Evelynn said in a sour tone at how Pain just left without ending the meeting himself.

"Well it best we get back to our task, I looking forward to working with you, Miss Song." Twisted Fate said before his image vanish along with everyone else who didn't care to stay any longer.

"Fun lot ya guy there." Sing said sarcastically while still smiling, "Well it can't be help that their like this." Itachi replied.

"Come let us take our leave as well, we'll need to have you rest up for future missions to come." Itachi said, then they both flicker out.


White Fang Vs Mad Gears

Sliding across the floor of the deck Adam stop then drop to one knee while clutching the left side of his bleeding rib cage, the fight was going just as he thought it would. Slowly walking towards him with blood dripping off her javelin, Nidalee look down at Adam in amusement before stopping a foot away from his to look at the fighting around her, several members of her men had been kill or were lying on the deck bleeding out as was the case.

"How fun! I miss this level of chaotic fighting!" Nidalee mused looking around until she spotted Blake fighting Ilia and holding her own however Jaune was not! Down on one knee, with shield having been knock away doing the fight Jaune felt fear run down face as sparks flew off the chain saw weapon grinding against sword, using his free hand Jaune brace his blade, he was doing his best to keep the White Fang Lieutenant from sawing his face in two!

"Jaune!" Blake cried at seeing him in harms way, pushing Ilia aside Blake rush to his aid but have to jump to the side of Ilia's flaming whip! Blake turn to glare at her old friend.

"Stop getting in my way, Ilia!" Blake shouted, Ilia finch at seeing her anger but then shake it off and rush at Blake, "I'm Sorry Blake but your coming back with us!" Ilia yelled rushing at Blake slashing her whip at him the cat Faunes who duck under it shooting an elbow at the gut, knocking the wind out of her! Jaune grunted as she shifted his weight and routed the chainsaw off to the left downward jamming it into the ground.

"I got you now!" Jaune shouted rearing his sword arm back, however having a faster reaction time and far more use to battle shot his leg out slamming it into Jaune's chest and knocking him to the deck and giving the Lieutenant time to stand as Jaune roll across the deck.

"Your dead kid!" the Lieutenant roared hauling up his chainsaw and rushing at Jaune who manage to get back to his feet and raise his sword just barely blocking the, (This guy is strong!) Jaune thought as the attack had his arm shaking "AAAAAHHHHH!" Adam's shouting caught Blakes, Jaune, Ilia, the Lieutenant attention as Adams blade clash with the aura empowered leg of Nidalee who then proceed to kick him back.

"Calm down Adam, you'll never beat me all fire up like that." Nidalee spoke before vanishing then appearing right in front of Adam sweeping her javelin across his shoulder and sending blood flying in the air forcing Adam to jump away.

"Come now Adam, you can do better then this can't you!?" Nidalee asked watching as Adam began to run at her with a roar, she had to admit to herself, Nidalee's blood began to boil in excitement as she watched the pure blooded faunus move with such speed. Blocking every throw Adam gave until finally she was pushed back as he finally managed to land a hit on the half breed though her Aura protected her. Nidalee simply kept grinning as the as she continue to use her javelin to block all Adams attack and watch his growling frustration in amusement!

"How can there be such a huge gap in their skills levels!?" Ilia gasp in fear at seeing her easily blocking all of Adams attack like they were nothing, Blake stared at the girl for a moment then grunted.

"Why are you doing this, Ilia? You must know how this battle going to end." Blake said Ilia gulp at the girl, the Lieutenant look at Blake and Ilia and at Adam, not bothering to worry about Jaune as the moment he take his eyes of him the Lieutenant had been able to slash into his left rib case! Jaune was currently on his knees holding his bleeding wound while trying to use his Aura to heal himself.

"No Blake, not this time, Nidalee is going to die." the Lieutenant whispered not seeing the charging blond coming at him from behind at break neck speed, as Nidalee kept having her fun, she never seem to noticed the ominous presence lurking on the upper deck. (Looks like it time!) Zaku thought pressing the button on a device on his belt causing his body to vanish with a twisted grin, as he leered at Nidalee sliding a knife out of both his sleeves, he knee that if he used his air cannons they'd either have no effect on the half breed or she dodge them, giving himself away, but with the cloaking tech he gain from Twilight End, Zaku would be able attack her unseen with a pair of Aura powered knives!

This had been a hidden plan by Adam, while Nidalee was focus on him her back would be widen open, (DIE NIDALEE!) Zaku lunged towards his target maniacal grin widened as he neared her, just as Zaku's blades could strike flesh, 'BAM' he was hit in the face by a flying kick from a very pissed off blonde! "I FINALLY FOUND YOU! YOU DRIED EYE BASTARD!" Naruto roared shocking everyone as he sent Zaku flying into the deck hall leaving a large dint in the metal wall! Nidalee so surprise to see the boy pause in her fun with Adam by catching his blade in her right hand and holding it in place even as he tried to pull it free.

"NARUTO!" Blake cried so glad to see him, as that meant Jaune would be getting some help soon but the pause at confusion at seeing him soaking wet and wonder what hah happen. Without hesitation, Naruto pounced on him, lifting him into the air by the throat, gasping for air not Zaku look down in horror at seeing the guy he supposedly killed.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! How are you still alive!? And how did you even know where I was!?" Zaku yelled as Naruto tighten his hold to the point that it felt like Zaku's windpipe might be crash, "Your scent gave you away you dried as eyed fucker! You really got me good didn't you, though to be fair who attack someone in a damn Jacuzzi!" Naruto growl in fury, by the time his Aura had finally finish healing his wound he was completely water log and didn't even have time to dry off when he hear the sound of fighting and was force to join the fry.

"Naruto! Never mind that moron, help Jaune! He's-" "Just fine Blake!" Blake snapped her head to Jaune and her eye's widen at seeing Yang placing a foot on the Lieutenant's back and pulling his arm back.

"GAAAAAAH!" the Lieutenant howled in pain, as Leone nearly pulled his arm out of its socket, "You bitch! Where the hell you come from!?" he snapped only to groan in pain as Yang put more pressure on his arm to the point where he knew if he said anymore his shoulder would be dislocated.

"Yang! It's about time you showed up!" Blake called as her blonde partner just looked at her with a grin.

"I had my hands full back there, some doggy boys showed up and prove to be a massive pain in the ass before I sent him running with his tail between his legs!" Yang replied smirking and giving hr partner a thumbs up as Blakes eyes widen, (Dog boy, does she mean Kiba!?) Blake thought.

"Same here, After I wake up from this jackass's sneak attack I found half a dozen White Fang punks trying to get into the cargo hall!" Adam, the Lieutenant, Zaku, and Ilia eyes widen at hearing that Nidalee grinned at hearing that.

"I trust you take care to protect the dust, yes?" Nidalee asked, Naruto grinned and gave her a thumbs up, "Yep, I beat the crap out of em and hog tied the lot before making my way here, the Dust is safe in sound." Adam, Ilia, the Lieutenant and Zaku all gasped at hearing that.

"Damn you!" Adam roared turning his attention to Naruto "GAH!" then cried out in pain as he was impaled through the shoulder!"

"Come now Adam you know better to turn your back on the enemy." Nidalee spoke in amusement as she pull her javelin back trailing blood, dropping to his knees Adam clutch the wound and turn back to glare at Nidalee through his Grimm mask. Nidalee chuckle at the red haired.

"We figure you would attack, I was told but Moxxi that had we've had our fun... to let you and what ever left of you group go." Adam glares at Nidalee when the slip passed her lips.

"Is all this just a game to her!? Is Moxxi really that arrogant to believe she can just keep letting us go and it not come back to bite her!?" Adam growled, Nidalee simply smirked, turning to her left she momentarily confused Adam until he followed her very only to frown at seeing all of his men either dead or subdued, looking around him he saw the same.

"This is your last chance Adam... walk away." Nidalee said coolie, Adam growled then stood up, he wanted nothing more then to attack now but with and only Ilia able to fight at this point Adam knew he was beat, Adam had no inattention. Taking a deep breath and exhaling Adam growled out two words. "Fall Back."


The Kingdom of Mistral: Anima

"We're here." Kakuzu said as his Airship landed, Ruby, Weiss, Nora, and Sasuke all stood up from their seats, looking out the window Weiss was surprise at what she saw.

"This is... Anima!?" she asked, Anima, one of the continents in the Kingdom of Mistral. One of the biggest give ways to where they were at is that the continent is host to a wide range of ecosystems, including swampland's and wind-carved cliffs. Also notable is a large body of water known as Lake Matsu, which is host to numerous floating islands held above the water surface by giant natural deposits of gravity Dust.

"Yes there a small out post for Akatsuki here." Kakuzu answered.

"It a two hour walk to the meeting place," Kakuzu spoke again walking to the group in the back then pulled out several cloaks, "for now I don't want anyone's face seen, put theses on." Kakuzu order tossing them the cloaks.

"Ohhh this is like a undercover mission, or maybe black ops!" Nora grinned putting on the cloak then wrapped it around her and narrowed her eyes, "We must blend into the shadows, to accomplish our task and leave unseen!" Nora whisper in a menacing voice, Kakuzu look at the girl for a moment then deadpen at Ruby who chuckle nervously, thankfully Weiss spoke up for her.

"She has a few screws loose but is someone we can count on in a fight." Weiss spoke holding her cloak in her arm's.

"Awww I knew you cared!" Nora cried hugging Weiss much to her dismay.

"Let go of me you dolt!" Weiss growled, Kakuzu's eyes twitch at the two the turn back to Ruby with a glare.

"Right, your friends better not mess this up Ruby, I'm been paid good money for this." Kakuzu stated, Ruby just roll her eyes at the greedy man.

"Sure, so what the plan here?" Ruby asked.

"And why did we stop here if the meeting place is two hours away!" Nora complained.

"Because if a fight breaks out, I'd rather my ship wasn't destroyed in the battle." Kakuzu answer simply getting raised eyes from the four teens.

"If? Meaning there a chance we might not have to fight?" Sasuke asked, Kakuzu was silent for a moment then nodded and held up a metal case.

"Yeah the current deal is I exchange what in this briefcase for the girl, but like I've said, I know how the leader thinks. There a good chance he going to have the girl killed anyway even after we give him what he wants." Kakuzu said causing Weiss to seethe with anger.

"But there still a chance a fight might not break put right?" Ruby asked.

"A small chance yes, but don't count on it." Kakuzu replied.

"If a fight does break out how do you plane on saving the girl?" Sasuke question, Kakuzu pause for a moment his lip move under his mask in a show that he was smirking.

"Being followed aside, Ruby you brought me something that will be a big help." Kakuzu grinned pointing at Nora who blink in confusion.

"Your the one who track Ruby right, your a rare sensory type yes?" Kakuzu asked putting all eyes on Nora.

"Well I only just learn but more or less yes." Nora replied causing Kakuzu's smirk to widen.

"Good, I know who the two are that capture Hinata, Ruby and I will deal with them while you three will rescue the girl." Weiss, Sasuke, and Nora's eye's at that.

"Hold on, I'm not leaving my partner to fight psychotic criminal's with a criminal!" Weiss declared pretty much speaking for all of them, however Kakuzu look at her then turn to Ruby.

"Ruby, the one's we're fighting are Zyra and Hiden." Ruby's eye's widen then narrowed.

"Weiss, if a fight does break out you, Sasuke, and Nora will save the girl, Kakuzu and I will fight those two." Ruby said, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the coldness in her voice, if was the first time he heard her speak in such a tone and it didn't match with her personality.

"No way Ruby, your not-" Ruby turn to Weiss with a glare, it was the first time she ever did such a thing.

"This isn't up for discussion, I know their fighting style, I know how to match and counter them so I'll be fine." Ruby said in a tone that said this was final, it was a shock to her system, seeing her normally childish team leader acting like this, Ruby told her a bit about the attack on bell tower at the capital of Vale. how she and Kakuzu met but clearly left a lot out. Kakuzu smirk, Hiden's fighting style must have left a bad taste in her mouth, clearly Ruby didn't plan on risking her team to Hiden's deadly power.

"She'll be fine, trust me when I say she the best person to come with me against these two, just focus on finding the girl, once we have her we'll high tail it out of there." Kakuzu said, Weiss bit her lip, she wanted to save Hinata really badly but also hated the thought of Ruby fighting with Kakuzu alone.

"We'll do it." Sasuke said cutting in before Weiss could say anymore.

"If Ruby thinks she can handle them then so be it,let's leave it to her." Sasuke continued but then turn to Kakuzu with a glare.

"However when this is done, I want answers!" Sasuke demanded looking at him with a cold glare, Kakuzu just smirked.

"I can only tell you what happen when I was there three years ago, everything else is hear say through the grapevine." Kakuzu stated.

"That will be enough." Sasuke replied with a dark look in his eyes, (Just you wait brother, I'm slowly catching up to you.) Sasuke thought with an intertenel grim smirk, Weiss look at the two before pausing as she bit her lip then turn to Ruby.

"Okay... I'll leave the fight to you, but you better win." Weiss said in a almost pleading tone. Ruby just grinned.

"Relax, last time he caught me off guard with his technique and I still beat him. This still I know how it works and I have a few surprises of my own!" Ruby grinned, Weiss look like she wanted to comment but was pulled into a hug by Nora.

"Sound good to me! Let's stop worrying about it and leave em to Ruby! Beside, we got a princess to save!" Nora said grinning a Cheshire cat size grin, Weiss groaned at seeing no one supporting and relented while hoping Ruby knew what she was doing. Kakuzu seeing there was no objections continued.

"If your done I'll go on, now the place there holding her is a tower. If and when a fight breaks out the the ginger head should be able to located her on the inside." Kakuzu said.

"While Ruby and I deal with Zyra and Hiden you three will go after the girl. Understood." getting nodded from everyone they don the cloaks he given them and began to walk towards the meeting place.


Mad Gears ship

"Looks like you got the last of em Adam, I'm happy that this didn't end up a bloodbath like last time. Moxxi didn't want that to happen again." Nidalee said watching the last of the White Fang loaded up on their submarine the dock next to the ship of Mad gears. Adam look at the half breed with with dismay.

"How can you service that woman who does nothing but hide in the shadows and let her pawns do all the work?" Adam asked darkly, Nidalee look mused at the red haired Faunus.

"As I recalled, you found out first hand what happens when Moxxi is force to fight." Nidalee replied to Adam getting a growl from him, not willing to say anything else he turn to Blake who look startled at his attention on her until Naruto and Yang stood in front of her.

"Seems like Blake use to be a member of the White Fang at some point." Naruto said grinning, his fang and claw now out, Naruto's eyes had turn red with slits and he was holding Olympus and Tartarus. Adam frown at the obvious Faunus like traits.

"How cute, but she at Beacon now, your not allowed to touch her." Yang finish still flowing with her flame like Aura, Blake look on stun that her friends would still support her even after finding out the truth. Feeling a hand on her shoulder Blake turn to see Jaune smile at her reassuringly letting her know they were all on her side, (I... I really have friends, who see me for me. Even after knowing my past.) Blake thought feeling her heart lighten, she has long for such a time when she would meet such people. Adam glared at the group then turn to Nidalee.

"Blake is a member of the White Fang! Return her to us at once!" Adam demand to Nidalee, said person just smirk.

"Blake left the White Fang after your attack on the Schnee dust train. She no longer belongs to you." Nidalee replied getting a look of fury from Adam, it almost seem like he was going to attack. Adam didn't say another word, he simply turn and jump off the deck on to the port hole of the submarine, minutes later to lower into the water and vanish.

"You guy's..." Blake began bring their attention to her, "You must know that he will likely come after me at beacon once this mission is over." Blake stated, to her surprise, not even taking a moment to think about it Yang threw a arm over Blakes shoulder pulling her into a one arm hug with a childishness grin on her face.

"Let them try, I'll be breaking quit a few skulls if they do!" Yang told her then look at her fellow blondes, "And I ain't the only ones." Yang said, Naruto and held of his pistols matching Yang grin.

"Yep, in the words of my partner, if they come after you. We'll be breaking some legs!" Naruto words got a smile from Blake, "Well now kids," Nidalee cut in as she walk up them with her javelin across her shoulder.

"This has been fun but now the clean up began, while my men get to work I want Jaune and Blake men both posts. Yang, Naruto, come with me." Nidalee said turning on her heels and began walking away, the two look at each other then at their friends.

"You guys good?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, My Aura is already healing the wounds I take." Jaune replied.

"I'm fine, hopefully the only excitement we'll have is a few Grimm attacks." Blake said then pause for a moment, "After when go on break again... I'll tell you guys everything." Blake said she knew there was no point and not telling them that, what more it was always a heavy burden on her shoulders. Blake felt that if she had told them she feel so much more lighter.

"Sure, there no rush though, when your ready we'll be there." Yang said she and Naruto then headed off after Nidalee, Blake stood with Jaune for a moment as they both stare at one another awkwardly.

"Thanks Jaune, for having my back." Blake said, Jaune smile and nodded, no knowing what else to Say turn and headed to the post Naruto and Yang would normally be at, Jaune's smile drop and he turn and walk to the other post as well. His body felt heavier then it was supposed to, and his sprite was lower then ever before.

"I... I couldn't do a single thing. Yang had to save me." Jaune whispered replaying the fight with the White Fang Lieutenant. "I couldn't do anything."


Beacon

Sitting at a control terminal Sona continue over looking the students of beacon's profiles from the center control system, specifically the females. Many of the students look promising but didn't catch her attention for long. Sona had a specific type of student she wanted to while she was there at beacon but so far hadn't been able to get a match.

"I thought I'd find you here." Sona tilting her head to the left spotting Faris walk into the center control room.

'Ahhh, Maid Gunner. I was hoping I'd get a chat with you soon.' Sona spoke as Faris stood by her side, "Taking a interest in the students are we?" she asked looking at the profiles.

'Just looking for one who sings a sublime symphony of beauty. A enchantress who can bewitch them all with but a glance.' Sona replied looking back at the files before her. Faris said nothing for a moment as Sona continue to over look the files, Student after student pass by with Sona sparing them but a short glance as she move on to the next.

"Why... are you really here, Sona?" Faris asked causing Sona's hands to pause above the keyboard.

'Did our Composer send you?' Sona asked continuing to look through the students profiles.

"The Head Master is worry about your intentions." Faris answer, Sona simply hummed and continue to look at the screen.

'You mean he is worry I might harm the little Uchiha boy.' Sona corrected, the sudden drop in temperature in the room didn't surprise the blue haired lady at all, tilting her head to look up at Faris and smile at the emotionless expression on her face that sent chills down almost anyone who saw it... almost anyone.

"I have been charge with the safety of all the student of Beacon Sona, including Sasuke Uchiha. I will not allow any harm to be fall him." Faris stated blandly, Sona gave a soft muscle chuckle and turn a back to the screen.

'My dear Maid Gunner, you worry for nothing. When I came back to Beacon I didn't even know he was here, I may pick on the boy a bit but I did the same with his brother.' Sona said once again looking through the students profiles.

'Tell our dear Head Master he and you can cease your worry's, at the moment I have little interest in the boy." Sona finish continuing to look over the students profile until she stop at one.

"Good to know, but I know that not the only reason your here Sona... something happen, something really bad has happen that cause you to return." Faris said returning to her normal monotone.

'Nothing has happened... per-say.' Sona said keeping her eyes lock on the girl's image on the screen.

"Then something bad is about to happen, I've known you since we were students ourselves Sona. I know you wouldn't come back if things weren't about to go bad." Faris said firmly, Sona said nothing in return, the two sat there for several minutes outwith a word being spoken. Faris seemingly looking off into deep space and Sona's eye's glued onto the screen.

'I... may have negated to mention it but recently... 'Talon' has attack the old gorilla.' Sona said, Faris for the first time in years was left shock.

"They attack Winston!? But why... okay stupid question, here a more reasonable one, why now? Talon haven't been active since they went to war with Haven and lost." Faris said calm even through her shock.

'I'm unsure but both Talon and Akatsuki seem to have set their eyes on Beacon. Though why I'm unsure.' Sona answer, for the first time in a long time Faris was becoming worry.

'However since both Mad Gears and Paradiso have interest in the welfare of Beacon it unlikely they will try anything... at least not at the moment.' Sona added hoping to edge away some of her worry. It didn't.

"Paradiso is one thing, we have the Red Queens Heir as a students, but why would the Black Queen want to in sure Beacon's safety?" Faris asked, leaning on the counter Sona tap her fingers on the keyboard as she kept looking at they students profiles on the screen.

'You mean beside that fact she look to Beacon crop for future hire? Well, It would seem Moxxi has found a student who peak her interest. Who I do not know.' Sona replied.

'At any rate both Talon and Akatsuki lack the power to combat either Mad Gears and Paradiso. They won't risk going into a conflict they have no chance of winning when the two come for their blood.' Sona stated. Faris take a moment to let this new information diagnosis in her head before asking a question that she had been wondering.

"Why did you not tell Ozpin any of thing?" Faris asked, as far as she knew Sona had always trusted Ozpin more then anyone else yet she didn't want Ozpin to find out about this made her wonder, Sona by this point stop flicking the profiles as one student came up that caught her attention a young blond haired girl.

'Yes, I could have told our Composer but if I tells him what I just told you about Talon and Akatsuki, he would tell Ironwood and what do you think Ironwood would want to do?' Sona asked, Faris actually groan in frustration.

"Ironwood would likely want to take his army's and began a witch hunt, I understand why you want to keep him from knowing a war is not something we need right now." Faris acknowledge.

"I must tell the Head Master about this, but I will recommend that we not mention this to Ironwood for the time being." Faris said, Sona nodded.

'Do what you must but understand this my dear Maid Gunner, our world is dangerous, and it's becoming more dangerous as time goes on... preparation need to be made in case the worst happen.' Sona said in a caliginous tone, Faris didn't reply, having gotten what she wanted Faris turn on her heels and began making her way to the door.

'Faris...' Sona called stopping her just as she reach the door, turning to her Faris saw Sona looking at her with a soft genuine smile on her lips.

'It was nice talking to you again, we should do so more often, ya know, catch up on things other then work.' Sona said getting a small smile from the combat maid who then left. Once again alone Sona turn back to to the screen her eyes studying the girl with the cocky grin on her face, (Such a young and wild beauty.) Sona thought her fingers sweeping over the image on the blond haired teen on the screen. (Yes... you will do nicely... my dear Yang Xiao Long.)


The Kingdom of Mistral: Anima

Zyra. Rise of the Thorns, the woman said to have been a Stranglethorns plant that stole the body of a female Huntress, Zyra was barely clothed, her extremities only concealed by leaves, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. Hidan a known worshiper of the evil cult-like faith known as Jashin, a religious cult of Immortal whose followers would commit ritualistic murder in honor of their god Jashin whose name literally means: wicked heart; evil god; and evil design.

Hidan has medium-length grey hair that was slicked back and distinctive purple eyes. he had bandages wrapped around his stomach, wore black pants with long, black sandals each bearing an attached zipper attached. Hidan had no shirt, and bears the organisation's cloak, which he kept slightly opened,

The two stood in front of a rather small stone tower sitting atop a particularly large hill. It has since long ago been abandoned, judging by it ragged and beaten appearance. The top half of the building is collapsed in onto itself and a large hole sits in the north side face.

Zyra and Hidan watch as five cloak figures slowly made their way to them stopping several feet away, the cloaks completely hid who was under them with the only dissimilarity between them being the height of each person.

"Are you from the Hyuga?" Zyra asked, stepping forward was the tallest with the smallest of them, the former nodded as the three remain at the back.

"Yes, we have bought what was asked, we trust the girl is safety in sound yes." Kakuzu's muffle voice answered, Zyra frown at it as the second shorted among them look next to the third tallest.

"Nora, can you tell if anyone is in that tower?" Weiss whispered, Nora however frown under her cloak at what she felt.

"Yeah... but there more then one. I sense at about at least three people in there!" Nora whispered back causing Weiss's eye's to widen, "It would make sense that they have someone watching her." Sasuke said in a very low voice having been listening in.

"Yeah but the level of Aura both have... it higher then most of our teachers, in fact the one on the first floor has twice as much Aura as Sasuke." Nora stated getting gasp from Weiss.

"But the one on the third floor... their Aura is..." Nora stop speaking when Sasuke spoke again.

"Nora can you tell where they are?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, one's at the floor level and two are at the top." Nora replied, Sasuke and Weiss nodded as they thought on the matter, (Hinata must be one of the two under guard at the top.) Weiss thought as Zyra spoke again.

"Why do you cover you face?" Zyra asked, not answering Kakuzu held up the metal case he had been holding, "This is what you wanted yes, take it and hand over the girl." he said throwing the case to Zyra who caught it. Looking at the case Zyra opened it and saw what look like a broken black staff with a half ring at the top if it.

"That it?" Hidan asked speaking for the first time as Zyra smirk, "This is it." Zyra answer closing it then, turning to Hidan with he nod he grinned before turning to the cloak group.

"Well thanks for bringing it, so now if you can, do us one more favor, and die!" Hidan shouted taking off the very large red a Triple-Bladed Scythe from his back, Nora and Weiss tense while Ruby, Sasuke, and Kakuzu stood where they were.

"Why, we gave you what you want just give us the girl and we'll leave." Kakuzu stated and Zyra sigh.

"I would agree with that if I could, I'd rather like to let that girl go but our leader is just so unreasonable, his order are to kill you lot and the girl. Sorry about it out of my hands." Zyra said dryly as Hidan began to cackle madly.

"HAHAHAHAHAH! In other words... YOU LOT ARE DEAD!" Hidan shouted rushing at the 'SWOOOOOOSSHHH' suddenly the smallest cloak figure appeared in front of him 'SMACK' the sound of a size 7 boot smashing into Hidan's face ring out as he was thrown crashing into the ground at Zyra's feet!

"Wow! You really haven't change Hidan, though I see you head is back on your shoulders." a girlish voice came from the one who kick Hidan... a very familiar girlish voice that cause Hidan's eye's to widen and jump to his feet.

"You bitch... who the hell are..." Hidan trail off as the metallic sound of mechanical clicking ring out, Zyra's mouth went dry and Hidan's eyes widen when frame in the colores rose red with black trims, was a large scythe blade forged into a crescent shape appeared in the hand of the person.

"Crescent Rose's?" Zyra question as Hidan look stun then wicket grin form on his face when the girl take down her hood showing the face of Ruby Rose.

"So Hidan it been a while, ready for me to take your head a second time?" Ruby asked sweetly, grinning wildly Hidan leaps towards Ruby and slashes at her, only for Ruby to block with her scythes. "You really haven't change at all, have you Hidan?" Ruby question then slashes him across the chest several times. "That make me happy." Ruby smile as Hidan is sent flying back and lands on the ground.

"Ruby Rose..." Zyra muttered stun that she was seeing the young red haired girl again then turn her site to the tallest cloak figure.

"If that Little Red Reaper is here then... is that you Kakuzu?" Zyra asked her eyes narrowing at him Kakuzu gave a short laugh then take his hood off showing his face.

"I didn't think we see one another so soon Zyra, I never apologize for leaving that moron to be your partner have I? Sorry about that." Kakuzu said jokingly Weiss, Nora and Sasuke stood stun at what they just saw, never had to thought Ruby could kill a man with no hesitation. It just seem so out of character for her yet in the last few minutes that all Ruby had been, out of character. Joking about cutting a man's head off then cutting him down without batting an eye. It was like they were seeing a whole new side to Ruby.

"I see, so the Hyuga Family requested you and the Little Red Reaper to save the girl." Zyra said now understanding the situation they were in, Kakuzu smirk at the plant lady "Heh, hey how long do you three plan on standing there gacking?" Kakuzu asked startling them, without a word threw off their cloaks.

"RUBY! How could you just kill him like that without even trying to knock him out first!?" Weiss shouted appearing next to her partner, Ruby chuckle nervously as she rubber the back of her head.

"Yeah, about that, Hidan he-" "heheheheh." low giggling cut her off, both turn to see Hidan's body twitching on the "HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAH" Weiss and Nora jump back in fright when Hidan sat up laughing insanely and bolted to his feet!

"HAHAHAHAH! Your blade still as sharp as ever huh Little Red Reaper!" Hidan shouted with a twisted grin on his face as blood pored freely from his wounds, even Sasuke was taken back at Hidan's clear insanity and lack of care for the damage done to his body.

"Yeah... he not ease to kill... and by not ease I mean impossible to kill." Ruby said dryly while pulling her scythe to the ready.

"Your joking...?" Weiss gasp bringing out her Myrtenaster, "Ruby explain, now!" Sasuke demanded walking up to her with Nora at his side, both had their weapons out.

"Well I don't really know much about it but he apart of some cult of murder that makes it's followers Immortal... and I find out the hard way it true." Ruby stated.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Weiss groan.

"Enough about that, Ruby and I will deal with these two as plan, go get the girl." Kakuzu order throwing off his cloak.

"Right. Weiss. Nora. we're moving!" Sasuke called racing forward, "I got your back!" Nora said right behind, Weiss not having any more time simply said "Ruby becareful." then race after them. Hidan seeing the three stood in their path.

"HAHAHAH! You've got guts kids, I'll give you that." The Hidan cackle hefted his Triple-Bladed Scythe into a casual ready stance. "However, nothing's gonna save you from me!"

"Nothing to save the day!" Ruby burst out in front of him and slammed a flying kick into Hidan's face, sending the cultiss flying. Landing Ruby smirked down at Kisame and added. "Y'know, you really shouldn't have tempted fate by using a line like 'nothing can save you from me,' 'cause that's just tempting fate way too much."

"Your right, I walked right into that one. Hidan picked himself up off the ground and glared at the her arrival resentfully.

"You kicked me in the face. Again." Hidan growled as Sasuke's group race pass them and pointed his three bladed weapon at her. Zyra was scowling as the three teens made their way to the tower.

"Hidan you fool, you let them get pass you!" Zyra growled keeping her eyes on Kakuzu who take off his cloak showing his many, standing before her was a shirtless and a very tall tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes had an unusual colouring: green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. Letting his hair hang loose, and a black-coloured mask covering his lower face and only revealing his eyes.

"Still keeping in shape I see." Zyra noticed with a smirk, knowing that despite his advanced age, he still appeared as a man well within his prime, retaining a very muscular build.

"And you still dress like a whore... not that I'm complaining." Kakuzu chuckle, looking at her barely covered breast, Zyra simply lick her lip at what she saw as a complement "So creepy..." Ruby muttered crunching up her nose.

"Horny old cougars." Hidan added in agreement to their shared... distaste of Kakuzu's and Zyra for the pair who they both knew had lusted for one another while Kakuzu was still in their organisation.

"Still, I'm surprised your still hanging with the young girl Kakuzu when we all thought it was a one time thing, is she your new partner now Kakuzu?" Zyra asked causing Ruby's cheeks to puff up.

"As if! I'm only here to keep you guys from harming a innocent girl!" Ruby exclaimed getting a laugh from Hidan, "Still trying to fight the good fight and save the world at brat, too bad this still time you brought along some friends to get killed with ya." Hidan grinned nasty at the dark red head who pause now nervous for reasons unknown.

"What do you mean?" Rwby asked eyeing him carefully, Hidan grinned, "Lets just say we got some 'playmates' waiting for your friends." Hidan replied.


Pushing on the wooden door the three students quickly went inside and has a quick look around. It's a modest sized circular room, maybe a forth as large as the Beacons main hall. It's bare as well; nothing is in the room aside from the dust and cold. It seems that the place has stripped of anything it may have once held.

To there left is a staircase, against the wall, leading up to the second floor. Some light is coming from above, and they can easily spot a layer of dust along the top of the steps.

"There are two up on the second floor, but be careful the one up there has more Aura then all of us combine." Nora stated after her quick inspection of the first floor, Weiss and Sasuke move towards the stairs."

"Alright, Nora ,Sasuke, lets go." Weiss said taking the lead but pause when she notice Nora wasn't followning them.

"Nora?" she question the girl just smile and wave, " You guys head on up, I'll follow once I've finish things here." Nora said with a grin, Weiss open her mouth to ask what she mean but paused as realization sunk in.

"That... right, be careful." Weiss spoke softly, Nora nodded, watching Weiss and Sasuke head up the stares.

"Wow, big Sis sure is nice. Staying behind to play with me." a small childish voice spoke as Nora turn around and saw a figure sitting on a crated in the shadows, "Well I just thought it be pretty fun if I got you all to myself." Nora grinned, Nora holding her grenade launcher, that shaft into a large hammer, the girl's eyes widen then grinned.

"Wow that a big Hammer, are you strong big Sis!?" the voice asked hopping off the crate, Nora smirk childishly at the small figure readying herself, "Why don't you try me and see!" Nora replied, hearing a giggle the little one slowly walk out of the darkness, Nora who was grinning looking forward to the fight was left speechless at the site before her.

"A... A child!?" she gasped as a small child no older then ten stood before her, she had red hair, a sleeveless black dress with red clouds, a black back pack with a ragged ted bear sticking out the top of it. Before Nora stood one of Akatsuki's power house's, Annie Hastur!


Second Floor, Sasuke and Weiss stood out side the door to the only room on the floor, both tense, they knew the final Akatsuki member was waiting inside and if Nora was right this person was the strongest of the four. Looking to the white haired girl Sasuke frown at seeing her staring at the floor in silent thought compensation.

"Weiss, Nora and Ruby will be fine. I need you to focus here." Sasuke said surprising her, Weiss bit her lip as much as she wanted to brush him off it was clear she was worry about the two.

"Ruby has the knowledge of who she fighting and how to counter them and Nora has prove she more powerful them most of the students in our year., They can handle themselves, we need to focus on getting the girl." Sasuke said trying to ease her worry, comforting people was his strongest suit so he hope his words, help. Weiss look away for a moment then turn back to him and nodded.

"Good, I'll enter first. Get ready to back me up if need be." Sasuke said, getting a 'okay' from Weiss he slowly push the door open, peeking inside the two students saw their wasn't much in the room, a two crates near a broken window, another two against a wall and a single size bed across that had a sleeping girl, she has featureless white eyes with tinges of lavender. She has dark blue hair that's in a hime-cut and wore a light purple short-sleeved jacket with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath, light brown shorts, and purple open-toed boots.

"There no guards!?" Weiss question as both step inside, "I doubt it will be that way for long, I'll stand guard, wake her. Once she up we can get head down to back up Nora then get the hell out of here." Sasuke said, Weiss agreed walk over to the Hyūgaand look down at one of the few people she truly thought of as friends, Hinata Hyūga. Weiss lightly patted her on the cheek getting a groan and slowly open her eyes only to let out a small gasp at seeing her old friend.

"Weiss...? What... going.. on?" Hinata asked tiredly, unknown to them the only time she had been allowed to be wake is to eat otherwise she was kept a sleep leaving her very groggily. Weiss gave a small smile as she help sit Hinata up.

"Yep it me, but really now I never thought you'd get yourself into this kind of trouble." Weiss said gently as Hinata rubbed her eyes, "Trouble?" she question confused for a moment then it all came back to her.

"That right! I've been capture by some group of crooks called-" "Akatsuki. I know." Weiss cut in causing Hinata to look at her friend in shock.

"Me and some friends are here to bust you out!" Weiss stated, Hinata's eyes widen and look at her in shock ,"What!? but how did you-" "Can the chit chat you two!" both turn to the door and Hinata was surprise to see another face she knew.

"Sasuke!?" Hinata gasp at seeing the last person she every thought would come to her aid, "Hinata it been a while but we have to do the whole catching up bit later, we need to leave. Now!" Sasuke said firmly, finally understanding the situation a bit she nodded and stood shakely on her feet ready to leave. "I can't let you leave." all three frozen at sound of that quiet voice and look to the crates across from them a very small figure now sat.

"How did he get there!?' Sasuke growled sliding in front of the two girls with his blade pointed at the figure as Weiss stared slack jawed, "A-a-a-a little kid?" Weiss gasped, Hinata tense and move to a fighting stands.

"Be careful, he may seem harmless but that boy is the one who crushed all eight of my body guards with ease!" Hinata warned shocking Weiss, Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the boy dress in nothing but black bandages with red clouds on them and large red eyes. The boy then hop off the crate on his feet standing up to no more then 3 feet in height.

"Sorry but Annie would will be mad if I let you take away the princess." he spoke rubbing his hand together on his chest looking rather meek, Weiss found herself conflicted as she didn't want to fight a kid but Sasuke seem not to buy the boys act.

"Bastard, who are you!?' Sasuke demanded, the young Akatsuki look at them for a moment seeming almost fearful of three before speaking. "Amumu... just a sad mummy name Amumu."
