After Yang left I stayed up with Kopman. Since we had nothing better to do we decided to turn on the television. After a few commercials about cheesy soap operas the news began.

"Good evening, This is Lisa Lavender and you are watching evening news on VBC. Tonight we have a breaking story. Coming in from what appears to be leaked footage, earlier today, a covert operation was performed by a group of Huntsman, directed by Headmaster Ozpin. They attacked a well defended outpost manned by the White Fang outside of the city walls. The operation was caught completely on video thanks to body cams that the Huntsmen were wearing. As previously stated, an anonymous source leaked this footage to various news sources. They also leaked information on the Huntsmen that participated in the operations, however there is still much left unknown about these brave huntsmen. They seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and made a name for themselves instantly. No family and no known homes. If anyone knows more about them it would be appreciated if they came forward. The city of Vale owes them a debt of gratitude. They neutralized a hostile threat on our borders and led the way for police to take over one ton of unrefined dust and various caches of illegally procured weapons. Sadly, no WF Operatives made it out alive, excluding the two seen on video being saved by the Huntsman in a strange turn of events. We reached out to Beacon for more information, but currently they made have no comment. The tactics they used were unlike any before seen, and the utter brutality of their fighting methods terrify the masses. But are they the brutal saviors Vale needs? Next on the hour we have Professor Marcos Medici, expert on Sociology and Psychology, to explain his thoughts on the matter.-"

"A fucking shrink is gonna tell them about us?" Kopman looked at me incredulously.

"It's the media man. It's always bullshit. I'm just glad they didn't completely demonize us." I really don't need some fucking hippies on our ass treating us like shit. What happened to Vietnam Veterans should have never happened. It still pisses me off.

"Yeah in all honesty they should bow down and suck our dicks after doing that much." Kopman joked with a small smile on his face.

"Yeah? That's the only way you are getting your dick wet huh?"

"Oh fuck off! I need to get some shut eye. I'll see you in the morning." Kopman said while getting up and moving towards the exit.

"Yeah I'll see you in the morning."

(0700 Next day)

"Rise and shine ladies!" Kopman yells out waking us all up. "I know you're all hurting and sore, but Oz needs to talk to us." I buried my head in the pillows. I was feeling a bit better, but I was still nowhere near 100%. Then I hear a gut wrenching yell from Newlin.

"Where's my leg! Where's my fucking leg!?" Newlin panicked and his heart rate spiked causing Kopman to sprint over to him.

"It's alright man you're good you're good." Kopman says while hugging him trying to console him.

"Where's my goddamn leg!" Newlin says as he starts crying.

"Hey man it's all good. You are going to be just fine brother. They got some high tech shit here. You are going to be good as new in no time."

"They can give me a new leg?" Newlin said calming down a bit.

"Yeah man that's what Oz told me. So just chill and relax man. You can stay here. I need to take Volk and Frias with me to talk about some shit. Apparently we are all famous now. Watch the news I'm sure it'll amuse you."

"Ok man I'll be fine. You guys go on ahead." Newlin said calming down a bit and laying back down.

"Alright then Frias and Volk with me. You guys only had upper body injuries so I know you idiots can walk just fine." Kopman said as we got up. Shit my body is sore as fuck, but I can walk. We are all still in our fucked up ACU's except for Kopman who took a shower and is freshly dressed. We said so long to Newlin and made our way towards Ozpin's tower.

Along the way we made quite a commotion. It was right before classes were scheduled to start and the hallways were filled. Volk and I were bloodied, tattered, and slightly limping. Our uniforms were stiff from all the blood they were soaked in and completely torn to shreds. Various students were filming us on our way and we could hear the mass of whispers following us. It was annoying, but we had to just ignore it and keep moving along. Along the way I saw Teams RBY and JNPR, I gave them a nod in acknowledgement before moving along.

It took us a while, but we eventually made it to Ozpin's office. As the doors opened we saw Ozpin, Glynda, and Qrow all waiting for us.

"Qrow you fucking asshole. Your intel was complete bullshit! You led us straight into some fucked up bullshit!" Kopman yelled getting all up into Qrow's face.

"My Intel was good! This wasn't on me!" Qrow yelled back pushing Kopman away from him to take a swig of his flask.

"Calm down Gentlemen! This wasn't an issue of Intelligence. We believe that who ever leaked your footage also told the White Fang you were coming. The footage was leaked shortly before Daniel Taurus and his group of Nighthawks confronted you. I believe that they were confident you would be killed and that your deaths would be filmed. It backfired because you won, but nonetheless someone is able to hack into our technology. So until further notice everything will be communicated by pen and paper. At least until we can secure a means of communication. Now we have to deal with the pressing issue that all of your identities are well known and now this is no longer a war in the shadows. We have to get out infront of this and direct the narrative. So I am scheduling a press conference here tomorrow. All four of you will be present alongside Glynda and myself. We have the popularity, might as well use it to our advantage. Gain public support. So I want you all looking as sharp as possible tomorrow. You will be excused from class tomorrow as well. We have your school uniforms ready. You will be wearing these during the press conference since you are representing Beacon Academy. For today I need you to talk to the prisoners we captured. See what information you can get from them. That will be all gentlemen. Glynda will lead you towards where we are keeping the prisoners."

"Yes please follow me. Remember that the prisoners are nervous and scared. Please make it seem as little of an interrogation as possible. They are both extremely injured and Miss Gwen Eberhardt has lost her right leg. Tact is needed." Glynda said leading us to the elevator.

Oh boy this will be fun. Just what I need. Another emotional female.

AN: I'll do my best to get the next edit update out by the end of the day.
