The clock was ticking away. Professor Port has been bellowing at the classroom for the past hour, and everyone was itching to get out of here. I sat between Yang and Weiss, both of them staring at the clocks showing only a minute left of class. Jaune moved in on Weiss from the other side.

"So, Weiss. You know, I was thinking after this we could maybe go grab a bite to eat? And, ah, I got two tickets to that new Spruce Willis movie if you wanna make the trip to Vale. I hear it's awesome!" Weiss continued to ignore him."Aaaaaand maybe after that we could study together? I mean you're smart and I'm, well-" The bell rang as the clock struck 4:00. I stretched and watched Weiss stand up next to me. Jaune stood up, confused.

"Weiss, did you hear me?" She started to walk off.

"No, no, no, yes." Jaune out his head on the desk, newly defeated. Team RWBY walked out, Yang ruffling Jaune's hair on the way out. I stayed and waited for Jaune to finally get up, and walked out with him.

"You know, Weiss may not be the best of choices to date." He looked down.

"Yeah, you say that, but I get this feeling when I'm around her. Like I'm complete, ya know?" I nodded, smiling.

"Yeah, I totally understand. But still, all Weiss is gonna do is continue to shoot you down." He looked forward, with new confidence.

"No, I can't give up. She'll see me for me someday!" He turned to me. "I gotta go, Zach. I'll see you later." I nodded and he ran off. Once he was out of sight, I looked down, shaking my head. She is gonna break his heart. I shrugged and walked to the RWBY Dorm, where the Team was waiting for me. They looked at me as I walked in, already in casual clothing for Vale. I nodded to Ruby and she begun.

"Alright, guys. Today is the day! The Investigation begins!" Weiss shook her head.

"I'm glad we're taking this seriously." Yang shrugged happily.

"Hey, we've got a plan. That's moderately serious." I looked at her, confused.

"What plan?" Weiss frowned at me and shook her head. I put my hands up. "Nobody told me about a plan!" I looked at Ruby, who shrugged. Weiss scowled and started.

"Ruby and I will head to the CCT to check the Schnee Records for any other Dust Robberies or inconsistencies. See as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem." All eyes turned to Blake as she said her part.

"The White Fang has regular Faction Meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning." We then looked at Yang as she said her part.

"I've got an old friend on the Shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale, getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard." I then noticed the low cut shirt and jacket, showing a bit of bra. I put that together with a guy that knows everything and figured it out pretty quickly. I stepped towards her.

"I'll go with you. If you're getting anywhere near Junior, then I'm coming along. That guy's a sleazy good-for-nothing asshole." She looked at me with a confused look.

"How do you know Junior?" I shrugged.

"He used to be my Fence after my, uhhhh, leave of the Milos Family." She nodded, realizing what I was saying. Ruby nodded happily.

"Great, we'll meet up tonight near Yane to go over what we found. Let's do this!"

"Yeah!" We all turned to the window, where Sun was hanging upside down. We all took a step back before Yang yelled.

"Sun! How did you get up there?!" He shrugged in whatever way he could upside down.

"It's easy, I do it all the time." Weiss stepped forward angrily.

"You what?!" He smiled.

"I climb trees all the time!" He jumped into the Dorm as Weiss glared at him. "So, are we finally getting back at that Torchwick guy?" I pointed at myself and Team RWBY.

"We, are going to investigate the situation." He didn't follow, so Blake helped out.

"As a Team." Ruby put up her hands, honestly.

"Sorry, Sun. We don't want to get friends involved if we don't have to." Sun shrugged her off.

"Pheeew, that's dumb, you should always get friends involved! That's why I brought Neptune!" The girls looked at him blankly, before I curiously walked to the window and looked to the side, revealing Neptune standing on the edge of the building.

"Sup." I questioned him.

"How did you even get up here?" He shrugged.

"I have my ways." He then looked down nervously. "Seriously, though. Can I come in? We're, like, really high up right now."


Once we got Neptune inside, we all grouped together. Ruby started giving jobs.

"Alright, Sun, you can go with Blake. And Neptune, you can go with Yang and Zach, cause they'll need extra back-up. Everyone good?" I nodded.

"Sure, works for me." Weiss spoke up, though.

"Actually, Ruby. Why don't you go with Yang. After all, she is your sister!" Ruby looked at her confused.

"But, Weiss, who would go with you, then?" She was obviously brushing off the idea of Weiss going with Neptune.

"Well, I guess Neptune could come with me?" Neptune smiled at her, but Ruby just laughed.

"HAhahahaha. Naaaah." She walked out the door, dragging Weiss along behind her, and ignoring her complaints. We all looked at each other, confused. I turned to Blake.

"Did she just-?" She nodded.

"Yep."

"And she left-?"

"Yep." I smiled.

"Alright, works for me." I turned to Neptune. "You know how to fight, right?" He frowned back at me.


I ended up driving the Buick with Neptune. Yang said she preferred her Bike, and was ahead of us, showing the way to the Nightclub. It had been relatively quiet between Neptune and I in the car, but I decided to break the silence.

"So, what are your intentions?" He looked at me with a confused expression.

"What?" I sighed.

"Weiss. What are your intentions with her?" He looked at me, a little surprised.

"Why do you want to know?"

"I've sworn to protect two Teams at Beacon. Unluckily for you, Weiss is on one of those Teams." I gave a light glare at him. "Call me the protective father, but I need to know what you plan to do with her." He looked at me, still surprised, but starting to get the idea.

"I-I'm not sure. She's really smart, and beautiful. It's hard to find a girl like that anywhere. When I met Weiss, she was just…. Something else." He had started looking forward, a dreamy look in his eyes, before I snapped my fingers under his nose, causing him to jump.

"Look, you seem like a nice guy. Your pretty cool, so I'm gonna say this once. You hurt her in any way, and you can bet your ass that you'll never be seeing her again. Got it?" He nodded.

"Got it."

"Good." Yang turned into the alley that lead to the Nightclub that Junior ran. She stopped and took off her helmet, waving her hair around. Neptune and I got out of the car and walked over to her. She smiled at us.

"My friend's right in here." Neptune looked around. There was loud music playing from the door to one of the buildings.

"And where exactly is here?" I smiled and walked with Yang to the door.

"You'll see." I could hear the screams of the men as Yang and I walked in, arms interlocked. A couple of the men closed a large door in front of us, stopping our entrance. I turned to Yang.

"Ladies first." She smiled and stepped forward, punching the doors wide open. The men inside went flying. She stepped in seductively, raising her hands.

"Guess who's back!" I could hear the music playing on a loop from a scratched disc, the room filled with the same chorus. Suddenly, there were a dozen guns pointed at my girlfriends head. She noticed the weapons, and instead of hiding or attacking, she glared at the DJ, who actively turned off the skipping record. Neptune peeked around me and whispered.

"So, yeah. Could you define "friend" for me." I frowned at the men.

"Wait for it."

"Stop! Stop! Nobody shoot!"

"There you go." Junior pushed his way through the men, until he was standing in front of us, correcting his tie.

"Blondy, you're here. Why?" I stepped forward revealing myself from the doorway. He grimaced at my sight.

"Drifter. I never expected to see your face here again." I frowned at the man.

"I never planned to come back to this dump, too bad my friends need your help." He nodded, before Yang pulled him by the tie back to the bar. I followed close behind. Once there, he went behind the counter and fixed two drinks, one for Yang, one for me. Yang chugged her shot, but I left mine there. He stared at me.

"You still won't drink here, huh?" I continued to frown.

"All you've got here is cheap beer and bad wine." He squinted his eyes at me.

"You selling tonight?"

"We're actually looking for someone." Yang stopped her smile, and started business.


Junior slammed down another glass.

"I don't know." Yang crossed her arms.

"How can you not know?"

"I haven't talked to him. I haven't even seen him since the night he first came in here. He paid up front, I lent him my men, and none of them ever came back." Neptune came up from behind us and slammed his hand on the table.

"So where did they go?" He looked at him like he was an idiot.

"What kind of stupid question is that?! They never came back!" He turned to me. "Who is this guy?" I glared at him leaning forward on the table, tired of Juniors attempts to distract us.

"Don't worry about him. Worry about me. If I don't get what I want, well, you know what'll happen. And we don't want that do we?" He looked at me angrily.

"I already told you everything! Torchwick hired my boys, and I guess he wasn't happy with them. Which is something I can relate to!" He turned to the drunk group of guys of the stairs. Yang turned around.

"Come on, guys." I continued to stare at Junior, though.

"You guys go ahead. I'll meet you outside." Yang looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?" I held up a hand.

"Later. I just need to ask a couple other questions. I'll meet you guys outside in a minute." She stared at me for a second before nodding and walking out, Neptune close behind. I turned back to Junior. There was silence between us before I spoke.

"Whens the last time you heard the name Halcion?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"What do you want to know about? Dracos?" I shook my head.

"No, I want to know about Lukos." He frowned at me.

"Never heard of him." I slammed a fist on the bar angrily.

"GODDAMMIT JUNIOR!" I stared at him angrily before I lit a fist on fire and picked up a bottle of Vodka from behind the counter with the other, I put the two dangerously close together. His eyes widened in fear.

"What are you doing?!" I stared angrily at him.

"What do you know about Lukos Halcion?" He stared at me before folding.

"Last I heard of him was with a couple of my buddies in the White Fang. Say he's a high up assassin that was trained by the very best. He's one of the highest up leaders as well, even has his own little army of Assassins that help him with jobs. Won't say I haven't seen a couple of them in here before." I glared at him and put the flames closer to the bottle.

"Names?" He shook his head.

"They don't give them when asking for business. Just come in with a bunch of Lien and ask for information. They even where these long cloaks that cover up their whole body. That's all I know, I swear." I growled at him before slamming the bottle down on the bar and turned to leave the Nightclub. Before I leaved, I spoke without turning around.

"Oh, and the next time I see you sneaking peeks at my girlfriend's Rack, you're gonna lose an eye." I started for the door, leaving a befuddled Junior behind. As I walked outside, I composed myself as best I could as I saw Yang leaning against her bike, and Neptune idly tapping at his Scroll next to the car. Yang looked up when she saw me.

"Hey, what was that about?" I stared at her for a second.

"Lukos." She nodded without asking. Neptune looked at us confused, but before he could say anything, both Yang's my Scrolls went off. We quickly answered to see Blake running for her life.

"Everyone! If you can here me, we need back-" Sun cut in in the background.

"HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!" I frowned.

"That doesn't sound good." Sun started explaining.

"They got a robot, and it's big, and it's really big! That Torchwick guy is in it! Like it didn't eat him, he's controlling it or something!" Yang yelled into the screen, mounting her bike.

"Where are you guys?!" There was suddenly a loud noise as Blake and Sun ran by a nearby street, the Robot hot on their trail. Neptune looked at us.

"Think that was them?" I rolled my eyes and ran to my car.

"Yang, go ahead and take Neptune. Try to get some speed on them." She nodded as Neptune jumped on the back of her bike.

"Right!" She zoomed off as I started up my car and followed. I served between cars flying by as the robot knocked them aside. Yang and Neptune were a little ahead of me. Suddenly, Neptune pulled the gun off his back and pointed it at the robot. The barrel started to glow until it started shooting electrical pulses at the Machinery, EMPing some of the systems. Then, when the Robot barely slowed down, he spun the gun around to create a long weapon, a Trident. He jumped off the bike and slammed it into the back of the machine. Up ahead, I could see Blake and Sun stop on a couple of trucks, I sped forward and tried to catch up with the two of them. Suddenly, I heard a loud clap and two glowing figures ran from Sun and suicided at the Machine, blowing up on contact. I yelled from my car, only a couple feet from their trucks.

"JUMP IN! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Sune ignored me and ran forward with his staff to attack. The Robot then flung Neptune off it's back and right into Sun, sending them both off the highway. I turned to Blake, who jumped on my car, sliding in the open window in the back. She looked back at the machine as it chased us. I looked at her through the rearview mirror.

"What the hell happened?!"

"Torchwick took the military robot to try and kill us!" I growled as Weiss jumped down from a highway a little in front of us. She stood true as we passed her, suddenly there was a White Flash, and when I turned around. The highway was covered in ice. I smiled as I watched Torchwick go sliding off the Highway.

"We need to get down there." I drifted the car to the side of the road and stopped it quickly. Blake jumped out and off the side of the Highway, I followed close behind. I ended up landing next t Team RWBY as they faced off with Torchwick.

Hey, guys GuffeyManipulation Here! I'd like to start off with thanking SupportTheTeam! He was the first to send in a Character! I'm still accepting other OC's though! If you have any ideas, PM me.
