On Thursday Ricky looked into his closet. The bag from first semester was there, hidden the way it was when he put it in his personal closet before he met his new team. He grabbed the bag and put it on his bed. The only other person in the room currently was Harper, who was sleeping. He unzipped the bag and pulled out the robes that where similar to that of his mentor's. He noticed something about the hood. There were two patches that were sown into the top of it, like if they were to allow a pair of ears to pop out. Ricky grabbed a pair of scissors and cut one by one the sowing on the patches. Once the first one was off, Ricky could see that the holes were intended in the design as sewing was around the holes in the hood. He cut the sowing of the other patch and in between the two pieces used to cover the hole was a note. Ricky unfolded it to reveal a full piece of paper with writing on it. It was addressed to Ricky and read:

"Richard if you are reading this then I am most likely not with you anymore. I always hoped that we all could live a normal life, me, your mother, you. Now its time I explain some things. I was an Assassin, a group that killed people who wanted to control everything and rule over everyone. I left that life when I met your mother, I hung up this very set of robes to be with her and to have a family. But I know if my past does follow me than I won't be with you. You must know the truth which is why I have written this note and hidden it in my robes. It is most likely that Conner has taken care of you if I have indeed passed away; he was a friend of mine. Also your ears must have grown for you to find this note, I'm sorry for lying about them after every day that you came home with a bruise or tears in your eyes. I just wanted to talk to you one more time and let you know that even if I'm not there by your side, I will try to watch over you from where ever I ended up. Stay strong Richard. -Xavier Wulf, Dad"

Ricky stared at the paper, his father was an Assassin, and it was another thing Conner had kept from him. Now Ricky knew why his parents were killed, not only for his parent's heritage, but also for his fathers past. He folded the paper back up and put it in the bag. He hung the robes on a hook on the door and went to shower. When he came back Harper had woken up and Cyrus and Iris were there in the room, it seemed like they had just bought some new cloths. Ricky saw Cyrus with a crimson dark trench coat and Iris had a pair of black pants and a light brown coat folded on her bed. Ricky walked over to the robes still hanging and moved them to hang in the closet.

"Now" Cyrus started, "let's go over what's happening tomorrow."

He pulled out a small brief case from under his bed and opened it. Inside were four earpieces along with some black boxes.

"Each of you gets one set" they all grabbed one earpiece and a box.

"Black box hangs on your belt, plug the earpiece in it" they all did so.

"This is how we will communicate with each other."

Ricky closed the blinds on the window and locked the door.

"We know the White Fang are with the Templars in some way" Ricky said.

"But we don't know what kind of deal they have" Cyrus joined in.

"This is why tomorrow afternoon we head into Vale and find where they are having their recruitment meeting."

"We stay quiet, any one sees us and they'll know we're on to them."

"And that would make things harder for us, understand?"

Harper and Iris nodded.

"Good."

Cyrus opened up the blinds to let sunlight in the room. Ricky began to once again sharpen his blades until night fell and they all got some sleep.


Friday, tonight was their first mission as a team. Classes passed and Ricky headed back to his team's room. Cyrus had his new dark crimson coat on along with a simple black cap. Iris also had her new coat and pants on. Harper was cleaning his shotgun. Ricky walked over to the closet and took down his father's robes before heading into the bathroom to change. He came out dressed in the robes, although similar to Conner's they were dark brown mostly with white accents and a white hood (basically the Baltimore outfit from AC 3). He pulled up his hood and his ears stuck out of the holes perfectly. He pulled it back down and as soon as they all seemed ready they made their way out of Beacon and headed into Vale.

The search took up most of the afternoon as the white fang hideout was well hidden. Luckily they followed some Faunus recruits to the entrance of the place. They fanned out and searched for any sort of back door and they found one.

"Ricky you got a visual?" Cyrus asked over the comms.

"Yeah, two guards in front of the door." Ricky could see them both armed with rifles. "Iris, Harper, get the drop on them."

Harper and Iris both landed on the guards and as soon as they were dead they began to move the bodies.

"Good work, I'm moving in, stay near and stay hidden."

"Roger that" Harper responded and the two disappeared once more.

Ricky moved down from the roof he was on and slowly made his way to the door. He moved his head closer to the door, trying to hear with his wolf ears was better than with his human ears. No sound came from the other side so he began to pick the lock on the door. Once it was open he slowly moved in, staying in a crouched position. He leaned under a window to another room. Inside where two more guards taking inventory on a large set of weapons and dust. He passed them quietly and snuck into the main room. He was behind what seemed to be a stage. He kept in the shadows and climbed on some crates to get to the rafters above. Once there the shadows hid him perfectly and he could see the entire room.

"Cyrus, I'm in" he whispered in his comms.

"Good, now give me a visual."

Ricky reached in one of his pouches and took out a device that he put on like glasses, but there was a small screen in front of his right eye. He tapped the side and turned it on.

"Perfect" Cyrus said.

"And just in time" Ricky responded as the meeting began.

The room was filled with about a third of new recruits, the rest were already members. A member, presumably a high ranked one, was on the stage and began to talk.

"Thank you all for coming, for those of you joining us for the first time tonight allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours, I can assure you he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for, for so long!"

A familiar face came on stage as the crowd boo'd him.

"Torchwick" Ricky said unconsciously.

"You know him?"

"Ran into him a few months ago, let's just say we have a score to settle."

"Calm down Ricky and remember the mission."

Ricky stayed silent as he continued to watch the ceremony. Torchwick seemed to get the crowd to agree with him as he kept talking until he snapped his fingers and the huge banner with the white fang symbol fell, revealing a large mech robot.

"That's not good" Ricky said.

"That's not possible," Cyrus began "that's an Elysium Paladin, those things aren't suppose to even be shipped yet, let alone be stolen by some thugs."

"You know what that means."

"There's a supplier in the Elysium military or the Shnee dust company."

"Possibly both."

"Hang on, I'll get what I can from the visual just keep eye sight on it."

Ricky did so and also noticed the recruits were being moved further into the compound. He also noticed Torchwick look at something and throw his cigar on the ground.

"That can't be good."

"What is it?" Cyrus asked.

"Torchwick just saw something he doesn't like and-"

Ricky was cut off by the sound of a gun shot and the lights all going out. There was screaming and orders being yelled to get someone. Powering up could be heard and Ricky made his way to the window to escape, and he wasn't the only one.
