The teams stood in shock at what the had discovered in the basement of Griven tech. "What the fuck" Allister stated. "I is that a… grimm?" Yang asked.

"Unfortunately yeah." Darron answered. The room was large and white as well as relatively empty except for the massive glass cage in the center holding the grimm.

The grimm was easily 25 feet tall and was a large flesh mass situated on the top of 6 deathstalker type legs extending 10 feet and, each tipped with a spearhead type

attachment used for stabbing prey. It had 1 large eye in its forehead and a large jaw with easily 6 rows of teeth. Two thin arms extended down into hands and each

finger was capped with an unusually large serrated claw. The Grimm noticed The group and let out a massive roar. "I've never seen anything like this." Professor

Goodwitch stated. "According to this stuff it is called a reaver." Weiss called out as she was reading a clipboard left behind by one of the scientists. "I'm impressed

they actually managed to catch one alive. Not much is known about them except that they really only make up 1 out of every 5.8 million grimm. Or at least that's the

theory." Max elaborated. "So what do we do about it?" Blake asked. "Simple." Came Zade's response. "We kill it." Suddenly team ENDD charged the beast. Darron

drew his swords and quickly cut a hole in the glass container for them to jump through. Allister was the first to reach the reaver. The reaver lifted one of it's legs and

attempted to run Allister through with it. Allister sidestepped and grabbed the leg holding it in place. As the reaver tried to free it's leg Zade jumped on the leg and

began to run up it towards the main body of the reaver. The reaver tried to swipe at Zade with its sharp claws. Zade just jumped over the attack and landed a few

slices into its side. Zade ran around the base of the reaver cutting it until he felt one of the hands grab his ankle. Zade could feel the dull pressure of the blades as his

aura prevented him from being dismembered. The reaver pulled zade off and flung him across the room. Fortunately team RWBY had decided to join in the fun and

Weiss used one of her glyphs to ensure Zade a soft landing. Darron, Blake, and Ruby ducked under the beast and dashed from leg to leg trying to immobilize the

reaver. the reaver reached out and batted Blake away as it also bent down to bite at Ruby. Ruby narrowly dodged and changed her weapon into its sniper mode

before shooting the reaver in the face. The reaver reared its head up with a roar yet managed to hit Ruby in the back with one of its legs. Max and Yang ran around

the reaver shooting it trying to find any weak spots, yet no matter where the shot the wound would quickly seal. "Shit it's healing what the fuck is this crap!" Max

yelled out frustratedly and continued shooting. Darron climbed onto the reavers center of mass and dashed up its body. Darron raised his swords with the intent of

piercing its head. Unfortunately, that plan would never come to fruition as the reaver reached up grabbed Darron and slammed him into the ground. Allister jumped

up and punched the reaver in the face. The reaver was sent flying to the other end of the cage. The reaver scrambled back to its feet and began to emit a series of

high pitched ENDD and RWBY grabbed their ears at the assault of sound. "What is it doing?" Weiss asked. "I don't know" Darron asked. the clicks continued on for a

while Suddenly Darron noticed something. there was a pattern. a changing one slightly yet all similar. "Max, Do you hear that?" Darron called out. "Yeah, what is it. It

sounds like a pattern." Max replied. "It's talking! It's actually communicating with something! I think this is what is responsible for the organization of the grimm

Attacks! I think this is actually and intelligent grimm!" Darron yelled to everyone "Well shit." Allister called back. The reaver finished whatever message it was trying

to send and stopped the clicking sound. The reaver then jumped to the roof of the room. anchoring itself with its spearhead legs, and began to dig up. Goodwitch

created a platform out of a glyph for Teams RWBY and ENDD to stand on. with a flick of her riding crop the platform began to rise after the reaver. The reaver busted

through the ground and out into the town. the platform carrying the hunters and huntresses was not far behind. Once they ascended above the smoke line Team

RWBY gasped. Grimm had stormed the city from every direction. Citizens ran scared, looking for a place to hide while the city guard was doing their best to try and

quell the assault. An airship attempted to take off and evacuate a number of citizens until a king taijitu lunged and hooked onto its wing. The airship spiraled down

until it finally crashed and exploded. "Now is not the time for fear." Professor Goodwitch yelled. "Now is the time to act. Team RWBY, we will go assist the evacuation

effort and killing off the rest of the grimm. ENDD, cut down that reaver." Team ENDD wordlessly jumped down and dashed off in the direction the reaver was

currently trying to escape. Professor Goodwitch flew herself, and team RWBY over to the airship dock. Once they landed they immediately set to clearing the area for

takeoff. Weiss drew her rapier and started slashing and stabbing at a group of beowolves. Weiss quickly and precisely ran her rapier through the skull of each

beowolf. Weiss looked over and saw Blake and Yang fighting the king taijitu from before. Yang was using Blake's ribbon to swing her around slashing at the taijitu and

any other grimm that came too close. Blake let go of the ribbon and used her continued momentum to fly forward slicing the taijitu heads off. An Ursa reared up

behind Blake ready to hit her when suddenly an explosion caused it to fall over and die. Blake turned to see Yang right behind the Ursa's dissipating corpse. "Old

times huh." Yang said. Blake grinned as the two turned to the rest of the rampant grimm. Ruby used her semblance to dash between grim, twirling her scythe and

cleanly cutting the grimm in half. Things were going well until she tripped over a juvenile beowolf she hadn't noticed. Ruby's speed caused her to bounce along the

ground right towards the jaws of an Ursa. There was a sudden flash of white as Weiss used her glyphs to propel herself forward and stab the ursa right through the

heart. Once Ruby had stopped Weiss turned to help her up. "This is fun isn't it?" Ruby asked. "Not particularly." Came Weiss cold reply as she used the lighting dust in

myseranter to electrocute a nevermore out of the sky. Ruby reloaded her sniper rounds before using them to propel herself into the grimm masses again. Professor

Goodwitch had run into the building to update the city guard on the situation. Once the guard had started to load a second ship for evacuation Goodwitch walked back

onto the tarmac. A beowolf tried to jump on her from behind. With just a quick twitch of her riding crop Goodwitch slammed the beowolf into the ground erupting its

head. A deathstalker turned and began its own attack on the professor. Goodwitch summoned 4 glyphs around the deathstalker. The deathstalker screech and

convulsed as the glyphs suddenly unleashed a large amount of electricity into it. Charred and defeated the deathstalker finally died. Goodwitch continued to unleash

hell upon the grimm as team RWBY rapidly thinned the grimm numbers on the tarmac. Suddenly the airship's engines whirred to life as it lifted off. Professor

Goodwitch summoned small glyphs around the airship that repelled any grimm that took an interest in the ship. Soon the ship was off in the distance and the next

airship was being loaded. "Good work team RWBY. That's the first ship. we have plenty more to go. Don't give up." Goodwitch's encouragement revitalized Team

RWBY as the began slaying monsters again with new vigor. Team ENDD raced through city streets following the reaver. As they ran the reaver managed to grab an

unfortunate young woman. It lifted her up and snapped her in half consuming her legs. Unfortunately, for her the reaver's grip was tight enough that he internal

organs remained in her body keeping her alive. The woman screamed out in agony. as the reaver ran it used its free hand to slowly rip the woman apart and devour

her, earning new screams of pain until the reaver finally ate the rest of her. Allister shifted himself so that he was running next to Darron. Darron glanced to his left

and saw a guard being mauled by beowolves. The guard's armor keeping him barely alive. In mercy Darron drew his pistol and, without even stopping, placed a bullet

in the man's skull, ending the screams. "Al, Stop this thing." Darron ordered. Allister nodded and forced all of the strength he could muster down into his legs. Allister

took off running so fast he looked like a blur to all he passed. Allister ran in front of the reaver and stopped. his feet dug into the ground not expecting the rapid

deceleration. The Reaver stopped and looked at Allister. Soon the rest of team ENDD showed up. The reaver roared as Team ENDD encircled it. Suddenly two men

from the city guard came from around the corner shooting at the reaver. "WAIT! STOP!" Darron yelled but it was too late. The reaver lifter two of its legs and

slammed them down on the heads of the guardsmen, popping them like balloons. "Idiots." Darron muttered to himself as he focused back on the reaver in front of

him. Without warning the reaver lashed out with its claws at Darron. Darron jumped out of the way as the claws impacted the roof of the building sending debris

flying everywhere. Darron lept off the building and used one of his swords to stab the reaver and pull himself close to its body, out of the reach of its arms. Allister

drew his lance and also advanced on the reaver. The reaver raised its two front legs and began swinging them at Allister. Allister used his lance to start deflecting the

blows. Max used the opportunity to find his way under the reaver, where he drew his axe and began moving from leg to leg slashing at them. Zade avoided two

slashes from the reaver's claw before jumping onto one of its arms. The reaver roared as it tried to remove its passengers from its body. It grabbed Zade with its

other arm and slammed him into the ground. As soon as the reaver began to lift its hand Zade scrambled out from under it. Zade took a few steps back to reassess

the situation before attacking again. The reaver finally caught on to Max and used one of its middle legs to jab at him. Max's aura prevented him from being run

through but the impact was enough to send him flying into one of the buildings. Max crashed against the stone wall and fell to the ground. Max opened his eyes as he

picked himself up and noticed something shining in a pile of rubble. "Oh yes." Max said to himself. Allister was still fending of the legs of the reaver. Allister managed

to catch one leg particularly hard and throw the reaver of balance. Allister jumped up and stabbed the reaver with his lance. Allister used the lance to hold himself up

as he began to punch the reaver. The shockwaves from the sheer force Allister's punches blew out the remaining glass in any nearby windows. Darron used the

reaver's moment of incapacitation to climb the reaver using his swords to create handholds. Eventually Darron reached the head of the reaver. Darron tried to plunge

one of his swords into the reavers one eye. Unfortunately, the reaver managed to get a hold on Darron's foot with its mouth and threw him down the street. The

reaver then grabbed onto Allister with one of its hands. Allister struggled against the strength of the beast. Before Allister could get free the reaver pulled back and

launched Allister far into the air. "Shit! Al!" Darron called out regaining the attention of the reaver. "Oh fuck," He muttered to himself as the reaver roared. The

reaver's roar was interrupted, however, by sudden onslaught of bullets. "HAHA! Eat it motherfucker!" Max yelled from the top of a building. Max was holding a large

machine gun and was hip firing it at the reaver, the dust rounds dealing extra damage. The reaver turned to him and strode up to the building. The reaver lashed out

at Max with its jaws. Max merely took this as an opportunity to fire some rounds into the reavers mouth. The reaver staggered back and crashed onto the ground.

Max continued to litter it with bullets while Darron and Zade advanced on it again. Team RWBY was exhausted. They had finally just gotten the last of the citizens who

had made it to the airdock away safely yet the grimm still pressed. Ruby brought her scythe around, decapitating another beowolf before planting her scythe on the

ground to help her support her weight. Blood slowly dripped from some small scrapes that lucky grimm had planted on her. "They just won't quit will they?" Ruby

asked. "Of course not." Weiss answered as she delivered a killing blow to a downed ursa. Weiss wasn't in much better condition than Ruby. Much of Weiss's dress was

stained red from blood and she was walking barefoot as one of her heels had broken earlier. Weiss placed her hands on her knees as she took deep breaths,

attempting to regain as much energy as possible before the next wave of grimm advanced. Suddenly Blake dropped in on them. Blake's coat was shredded in places

and she had a rather nasty bite mark bleeding on her shoulder. "Blake! Where's Yang?" Ruby questioned. "I don't know. We got separated by some grimm that

surprised us around the corner." Blake answered, worry in her voice. "Well let's go help her." Weiss said. The three girls ran around the corner to help their was

surrounded by a pack of Ursa, Yang had a nasty slash on her left leg so Yang was down on one knee. The only part of her clothing that didn't receive damage of any

kind was the scarf around her neck. One of her ember celica was empty of ammo and the other one wasn't too far behind. The Ursa slowly closed in on Yang sensing

their prey was on its final legs. The Ursa in front of Yang raised its paw ready to deliver the deathblow. Ruby just stared in horror, too tired to call upon her

semblance."YAAAAAAAAANNNNGGGGG!"Ruby cried as the paw came down. Suddenly there was a white blur and the ursa exploded all over the lifted her head to see

Allister standing in front of her lance drawn. Allister turned and plunged his lance through the head of the ursa behind Yang. Allister swung his lance to the side then

cutting another ursa in half. Allister jabbed the lance into the knee of a fourth ursa pinning it down so Allister could punch its face. "Allister's punched removed the

head cleanly from the shoulders of the ursa. Allister picked up his lance, twirled it around, and brought it down in a large arc over Yang, cutting two more Ursai in

half. As the last of the Ursai dissipated Allister walked over and picked up Yang. "Yang wrapped her arms around his neck for support and kissed him. "Thank you."

Yang whispered. "Anytime. Anywhere." Allister responded as he carried her to the rest of team RWBY. Allister and team RWBY carried Yang inside and placed her on

one of the receptionist counters. "Will she be ok?" Ruby asked worry and fear evident in her voice. "Yeah she'll be fine." Allister reassured. "We just need to get her

inside." Blake took Yang from Allister's arms and carried her inside the airport. "What happened to you anyway?" Weiss asked. " I got thrown out." Allister answered.

large amounts of gunfire attracted the attention of the three students. Professor Goodwitch returned with a large number of soldiers, their overwhelming numbers

effectively reducing the number of grimm. Allister spun his lance around before pointing it towards the grimm. "Well if you ladies need me, just holler. I'm still ready

to go and cut down some grimm." With that Allister ran straight into the mass of grimm. Weiss and Ruby looked at each other and laughed. Professor Goodwitch ran

over to them. "Are you girls ok?" she questioned. "Yeah were fine, a little banged up but still breathing." Weiss answered. Goodwitch sighed in relief. "Fortunately the

reinforcements from the next town over have finally arrived to assist in subduing the grimm." Weiss and Ruby nodded in response before rushing off to check on

Yang. Things weren't looking particularly good for the reminder of team ENDD. Max was currently running fast from the reaver down the city streets. His heavy

machine gun had run out of bullets and he wasn't to interested in getting up close and personal with the highly agitated reaver. Darron and Zade gave chase hoping

to save their teammate. "Holy shit guys! What the living fuck are you doing!" Max called back to his team. "Well if you hadn't pissed this thing off we would never

even be in this mess so shut the fuck up." Zade countered. Max stopped running and turned. The weight of the reaver caused it to slightly overstep Max. The reaver

stopped and tried to turn and pursue Max. The stop in motion allowed Darron and Zade to finally catch up with Max. Darron and Zade each ran up a building on their

respective sides of the street. Once They reached the top they both jumped at the reaver. Max was busy slashing at the section of the reavers body where the legs

came together with his axe. the reaver lashed out with one of its claws sending Darron crashing through the building. Darron broke through 4 floors before finally

coming to a stop. Darron groaned as he picked himself up. Zade latched onto the reaver with one of his knives and began stabbing the reaver repeatedly. Darron

stumbled out of the building shaking his head when suddenly he was slammed into by Zade, who was detached and thrown off by the reaver. The two rolled across

the ground. Max Finally managed to sever one of the legs. Unfortunately, this caused the reaver's center of mass to drop, straight onto Max's leg. Max yelled as he

felt his leg shatter. "Ah fuck. Max!" Darron yelled. Darron and Zade moved to help their injured teammate when suddenly a high pitched scream came from behind

them. They turned to see the Allison girl from the bar being chased by a small group of beowolves. "What the fuck." Zade said. "Ok, I'll go help Max you go help her."

Darron said. "Wait, what the fuck why me." 'Zade complained. "You gotta, we all saw what happened in the nightclub you just gotta," Darron responded smiling

cockily at his friend. "Fuck." Zade conceded before racing after the poor girl. Darron ran over to Max as the reaver managed to stand itself back up, Darron pulled Max

over his shoulder and ran him over to an alley. "Max you good?" Darron asked. "Yeah, just give me a minute to walk it off." Max responded. Darron cocked an

eyebrow. "I don't think that's possible." "Yeah yeah I know but I'm good just a little immobile." Max answered. Darron nodded. "Holy shit we need a plan." Darron

said to himself as he looked out at the reaver, which had begun smashing the surrounding buildings as it searched for its targets. Zade raced across the ground as he

moved to help Allison. Allison was cornered by three beowolves, who looked rather hungry. One of the beowolves lunged at her. Allison screamed and turned away.

Noticing the lack of pain she expected to be receiving she opened her eyes. She saw Zade wrapping his arms around the neck of the beowolf. With a twist Zade

snapped the neck of the beowolf and it fell limply to the ground. Zade spun around and jammed a knife into the skull of another advancing beowolf The third beowolf

jumped on Zade's back. Zade reached up grabbed it and flipped it over him. Zade drew another knife and jammed it into the beowolf's chest, dragging the blade

down opening up the beowolf's chest. Allison stood shocked as the beowolf began to disintegrate around Zade. Zade walked up to Allison and put his arms on her

shoulders. "Allison, are you ok?" Zade asked. Allison just stared into space, still shocked by the events. Zade snapped in her face, bringing her back to reality. Allison

blinked and pulled Zade into her arms, burying her face into his shoulder, crying. "Zade, thank you for saving me. I was so scared when the grimm broke into the city

and." "Be quiet." Zade commanded, interrupting Allison's bawling. "I'm sorry but we need to go help my friend who's just been hurt, badly, so I need you to get your

shit together ok. Can you do that for me?" Zade explained. Allison wiped away her tears before nodding. Zade smiled as he led Allison through some alleys and

backstreets until they reached Darron and Max's position. The reaver was still searching through the buildings for its agitators when Zade and Allison and reached Max

and Darron. "What I miss?" Zade asked. "Max has a ridiculously destroyed leg and he can't walk. This will be fun." Darron informed. "Let me help." Allison offered.

Darron, Max, and Zade stared at her. "What, I am actually training to be a trauma surgeon." Allison explained. "That's the best news I've heard all day." Max said.

"Ok, new plan. I'm going to go distract that thing and try to find Allister and team RWBY to help me kill this thing. You guys help Max and be careful getting him

somewhere safe." Zade and Max nodded. Darron left his friends as Allison began giving Zade instructions to help her. Darron ran back out into the street where the

reaver was currently digging through a office building. "Hey! Motherfucker! Come get me!" Darron yelled. The reaver's head snapped to stare at Darron. The reaver

let out a massive roar before charging at Darron. Darron winked at the reaver before turning and sprinting away. Allister and Team RWBY were watching Professor

Goodwitch and the army push back the remaining grimm in the city when they all heard a massive roar from the streets. Allister picked up Yang and they ran outside

with Weiss, Ruby, and Blake. Their eyes widened as they saw Darron sprinting towards the airport with the reaver right behind him. "Allister! kill this fucking thing."

Darron yelled. Allister handed Yang off to Ruby and Weiss and ran to help his leader, extending his lance. The reaver had gained on Darron and took a swipe at

Darron. Allister managed to step in and block it with his lance. Darron drew his swords and began to combat the the other claw of the reaver. In the focus of

deflecting the claws Darron and Allister forgot about the legs of the reaver. The reaver pulled up its front two legs and slammed Darron and Allister back to back into

each other. Both of them spit up blood after the hit. Both Darron and Allister fell to their hands and knees gasping for air. They managed to lift themselves to their

feet as they were slammed back into each other by the reavers claws. They fell onto their backs as the reaver advanced over them. The army began to open fire on

the reaver. They're bullets merely bounced of the reaver's skin. The reaver picked up one of its legs and brought it down towards Darron. Darron lifted his blades to

block the impact. Unfortunately the resistance did not last very long as the blades snapped and the reavers leg slammed full force onto Darron's chest. Darron

grunted as he felt several of his ribs break and a small crater form around him. Team RWBY gasped at the sight. Allister managed to stand back up and move away

from the reaver. The reaver began to advance on Allister. Once the reaver had completely passed over Darron he kicked up to his feet. "How the hell can he do that

after that injury?!" Yang questioned. "He's cool." Ruby added. Blake just stared at Darron until he looked at her. Blake knew exactly what Darron was asking for.

Blake smiled as she detached Gambol Shroud from her back. "Catch Darron!" Blake yelled as she threw Gambol Shroud over to her old friend. Darron caught it out of

the air and drew the katana from the sharpened sheath. Darron immediately looked a thousand times more comfortable with those two blades in his hand than he

ever had when holding the blades assigned to him by Professor Ozpin. Darron raced after the reaver. When Darron reached the reaver he blindingly bounced between

all six of its legs slashing them with blades. Darron finished the pattern right in front of the reaver. Darron jumped high into the air spinning with his two blades,

repeatedly slicing into the reaver as it tried to swipe at him. Darron landed on the claw and on the end of the swing jumped, spinning again leaving more slices on the

reaver, onto the reaver's back. Darron used the reaver's head to propel himself in the air. Darron converted the katana blade of Gambol Shroud into its gun form.

Darron threw the gun, discharging a round, and managed to securely bury it in the reaver's flesh. Darron used the ribbon attached to Gambol Shroud to swing around

the reaver, while he simultaneously rotated himself leaving a large circular pattern of cuts along the reaver's body. Just as Darron was about to run out of ribbon he

yanked and unhooked the gun from the reaver. As the gun tried to unwrap itself it also left a series of deep slashes on the reaver before flying back to Darron in

katana form. The reaver roared at Darron until it was shut up by a massive uppercut from Allister. The reaver flew through the air, doing a full 360, before finally

landing on its legs, its wound recovering yet considerably slower than before. Darron and Allister smirked to each other as Darron raced forward and Allister dropped

back. Darron raced over to the reaver and jumped straight at it spinning his blades. The reaver used its claws to stop the assault as it tried to smash Darron. Darron

rolled out from the impact and jumped up using a number of dual bladed uppercuts to propel himself higher and higher. Once Darron was over the head of the reaver

it opened its jaws to consume him. Darron just smirked. "So close, you dumb bitch." He mocked as its jaws drew ever closer. From down the runway Allister had

finished lining up a throw with his lance. Allister threw the lance forward with what appeared to be casual effort. The lance raced towards the reaver at blinding

speeds. The lance ran clear through the reaver, leaving a giant hole in its chest, as the lance flew far, far off into the distance. Darron flipped forward and landed in

the hole. Darron spun around, using his blades effectively cutting the last strands of flesh keeping the reaver together, cutting it in half. The head of the reaver fell to

the tarmac, roaring the whole way down. Darron landed in front of the head as Allister walked up next to them. "Nice work, But what took you so long." Darron and

Allister turned to see Allison and Zade supporting Max, who was wearing a large cast on his led. "We could say the same to you." Allister retorted. Suddenly, the

reaver head lunged forward and nearly managed to snap its jaws on Darron before it exploded. Darron and Allister jumped back in surprise. "Fuck." They said in

unison. Everyone turned to look at a rather agitated Goodwitch causing one of her glyphs to disappear. "I… hate...those things." Goodwitch stated, Everyone laughed

at the teacher's display of disgust, Teams ENDD and RWBY were sitting around the airship back to beacon. Darron had given Blake back Gambol shroud and the two

were sitting next to each other. Allister was hugging Yang who was sitting in his lap. Ruby was pestering Max about his injury while Weiss was doing her best to

ignore Zade after seeing him close to Alison again. Professor Goodwitch enter the cabin and attracted everyone's attention before speaking. "Well teams. You did good

work. You performed remarkably and seem to be well on your way to becoming full fledged hunters." :So what's going to happen to that Ian guy and Griven tech?"

Weiss asked. "Griven tech is being investigated as a whole by the Atlesian police and Ian was unfortunately eaten by some grimm during the invasion." Goodwitch

answered as she shared a knowing glance with Darron. "Furthermore, due to the unconventional nature of this mission and the level of combat you all experienced.

Professor Ozpin has seen fit to count this mission, especially since you are all first years, as two of your required missions to graduate. That is all." The two teams

high fived each other as Professor made her way out of the cabin. The team returned back to what it was they were currently doing. Suddenly a commotion

permeated its way through the cabin. "C'mon Weiss what's the problem. All she did was help us out with Max's leg and I used her to not draw attention to myself as I

got closer to Ian. There was nothing there." Zade pleaded. "There is no problem." Weiss replied briefly. "Then why are you ignoring me." Zade pressed. "I am not

ignoring you see. We are talking right now." Weiss replied again. "God maybe I should have stayed with Allison. I mean she's a surgeon, Perfect for when I get hurt,

She's got a great personality, and best of all she has those big, supple, juicy, breasts perfect for groping, feeling, fondling. God what I would do to those." Weiss's

face had grown so red during the whole conversation that she could easily have out done Pyrrha's hair. "UGH, you insufferable Dolt!" Weiss yelled out as she stormed

out of the cabin. "Wait Weiss." Zade called after her as he followed her, wherever she went. Once the two were gone the rest of the teams snickered to themselves. "I

thought he was supposed to be all polite and gentlemanly like." Yang commented. "He usually is but sometime he's as big a dick as the rest of us." Allister answered.

"Hey I wanted to know something Darron." Ruby announced. "Shoot." Darron encouraged. "Why did you look so comfortable and effective when using Gambol

Shroud?" Ruby asked. "Yeah you did look like your skill improved considerably when you used that over the weapons that broke." Yang added. "Well. To be truly

honest. Its because I am the one who designed and built Gambol Shroud." Darron answered. Ruby and Yang's eyes bulged out of their skulls as they looked over to

Blake. "It's true. Gambol Shroud was the only thing I had left to Remember Darron by after I thought I was dead."Blake confirmed. "Truly though the blades were

always meant to be Blake's anyways though." Darron added. Ruby and Yang sat back reveling in their new knowledge. Darron turned to Allister. "That was one hell of

a fight huh?" Darron asked. "Yeah, best part was after the fight though, When the guards were arguing whether or not my lance throw produced 3 or only 2 sonic

booms." Allister commented. Darron smirked. "Yeah but I wish we had been able to do that on full power. Probably would only have taken us 1/10th the time it did."

Darron said. "Yeah well hopefully this buys us a lot of trust with the man upstairs." Allister concluded. Darron nodded as the remaining team members elected to grab

some sleep on the flight back to Beacon. Darron and Blake fell asleep on each others shoulders. Yang fell asleep cuddled into Allister's chest as he slept with his arms

wrapped around her and Max was sleeping in his seat, his leg in his own dust healing machine, while Ruby laid her head on his lap, using it as a makeshift pillow.

Professor Goodwitch, after informing the team in the mission status she made her way to the communications bay. The professor pulled out her scroll and called

professor Ozpin. "Hello." Ozpin greeted. "The mission is complete." Goodwitch responded. "And I presume there were none of the incidents we discussed about

beforehand?" Ozpin asked "No." Goodwitch answered. "It's as we feared. It appears to be completely attached to Darron's semblance sir." Ozpin appeared to be

thinking deeply as silence filled the line. "We will keep him under monitoring to make sure there isn't an incident. And God help us all should it be unleashed upon us

again." Ozpin finally spoke to Goodwitch. "Very well." Goodwitch said as she hung up the call and went to find herself somewhere to wait out the flight. Once

Goodwitch stepped out of the room the communications officer in the room removed his fake headphones. He had been listening to the whole conversation. The man

picked up his own scroll and made his own call. "The targets are being tracked to Beacon academy. New information shall arrive shortly." The man spoke into the

phone before hanging up and returning to his 'job' as communications officer. The man smiled to himself pleased. "Soon you murderous bastards." he whispered to

himself as he waited, biding time.
