A/N: I don't own RWBY it belongs to Rooster Teeth. while the version is just for fun. "This means talking" *This means thinking.*

…
Teams RWBQ and JNPR were standing inside the Bullhead, with Dr. Oobleck and Goodwitch. "Given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabbling in the archaeological surveys, And Glynda's expertise with combat and defense. Our dear headmaster saw fit to assign the two of us to this particular... assignment!"

Weiss looked at Dr. Oobleck. "What does history have to do with this?"

Glynda answered for Dr. Oobleck. "Miss. Schnee history is the backbone of our very society..."

Just then Dr. Oobleck cut in. "And the liver! Probably the kidneys, if I were to wager."

Jaune leans over to Pyrrha. "Is he for real?"

Pyrrha just placed her hand on her face and shook her head.

Dr. Oobleck then went on. "The southeast quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forests and deep caves, but it is also the location of one of the kingdom's greatest failures!"

At that moment Ruby then remembered something that Dr. Oobleck told them in class. "Mount Glenn."

At hearing that made Nora remembered what Ruby was talking about. "Oh, that's right! It was an expansion of Vale!"

Ren then joined in. "But in the end, it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city."

Dr. Oobleck nodded his head. "Correct! And now it stands abandoned as a dark reminder. "

Glynda then joined in. "I remember that two years later when I just started as a student at Beacon myself. My team went there with Ozpin. From what we found he started to think that Dr. Merlot owner of Merlot Industries. But we didn't have enough evidence to prove it and everyone thinks that Dr. Merlot died at Mount Glenn and his company went out of business as well. Ozpin never told anyone about his thoughts on the matter I only found out because I was the only one with him at Dr. Merlot's lab. The rest of my team was looking at the rest of the building."

Everyone just looked at Glynda in shock and just then Jaune thought of something. "You don't think that whoever is at Mount Glenn is Dr. Merlot or even trying to use whatever he made to bring the Grimm there do you?"

Everyone including Dr. Oobleck looked at Glynda in worry. "I don't know..."

Qrow who was quiet the whole time was now looking at them. "I don't think Dr. Merlot is here."

Everyone looked at Qrow in confusion.

"I only told Oz this and he doesn't want to worry about it yet at least not until I look more into it, but since we might be going to Dr. Merlot's lab I should bring this up just in case."

Ruby looked to her father with even more confusion. "Dad…?"

Glynda and Dr. Oobleck were now getting a little worried. "What do you mean Qrow?"

Qrow sighed. "I found a few boxes with Merlot Industries logo on them. But that it was, just two boxes and that's it. For all I know whoever we are looking for here, just took something from his lab and brought it to where I found them. Brought both boxes to Oz to look at. Though I found them in an area closer to Patch than Mount Glenn. So if he is alive and up to something... it isn't here."

Everyone just nodded their heads and the rest of the ride was quiet.

Eventually the airship came over a clear area of street with in the ruined city. The ship hovered as the teachers, then students all jumped out of the craft with weapons drawn minus Dr. Oobleck and Qrow, who simply taking a drink from there respected containers before the ship flies away from the location.

"Students!"

Dr. Oobleck, then looked at Zwei. "And Dog... You still may be students, but as of this moment, your first mission as Huntsmen has begun! From this point forward, you need to do exactly as I say! Do you understand?"

Glynda looked at Qrow. "Did he forget that we are here and that the students should listen to us as well...?"

Qrow gave Glynda a deadpan look. "I don't know... Did he also forget that Zwei is a trained hun-dog and doesn't need to to be treated like a kid?"

The two looked at Dr. Oobleck and then back at each other before Qrow gave a nod to her and Glynda walked over to . Once she was behind him she used her riding crop to hit Dr. Oobleck in the back of the head with it. "Och! Okay, which one of you... Did that?"

He froze when he saw Glynda in front of him which he could tell that she wasn't happy for some reason. He also knew that he was still on thin ice with her from the food fight for him getting Ice coffee in her blouse. But in his defense, that ice cream that she was hitting him with was very hard. "Yes, Glynda...?"

"Dr. Oobleck need I remind you that the Students should be taking orders from all three of us."

Glynda then pointed at Qrow. "While Qrow is filling in for Yang, he is a Huntsmen as well."

"Right sorry about that..."

"As you should be."

Glynda then walked back over to Qrow who was shaking his head at what had just happened. Dr. Ooblieck began trying to save face. "Right well... We should start looking for some clues as to where our enemy could be hiding."

Just then Ruby saw something. "Um... Grimm."

A creature of Grimm approximately one hundred yards from them at this very moment.

"What?!"

They turn to look, and a lone Beowolf wandering into the street, they all but Dr. Ooblieck unleashing their weapons. Which Dr. Oooblieck only said one thing. "Stop!"

Blake looked at him "Huh?"

All that Qrow could do was groaned. "Oh no... Not this again."

Nora looks to Glynda. "What is Qrow talking about Ms. Goodwitch?"

Glynda then looked at her students. "Oobleck has a different way of doing his job."

All of those who didn't know what was going on was at a loss. "What do you mean...?"

Dr. Ooblieck then cut in. "We wait. We track. If this specimen leads us to its pack, that pack may subsequently lead us to our prey. "

Qrow then walked up to Dr. Ooblieck. "Brat we don't need that Grimm and with my luck more Grimm will show up any second!"

"Don't be silly... Alone Grimm has been known to stay isolated from the pack for months and... There's the whole pack."

Qrow shock his head. " And now they've seen us. Great, just great..."

Ruby swings Crescent Rose to prepare it for shooting. "Cover your ears, Zwei!"

The dog does so, curling up into a ball. just as Ruby and Rin started shooting at the Beowolf.

Black lines race across the area Beowolfs starts running to a smiling Nora who was now charging towards the Grimm as soon the girl got close enough she started working with her hammer.

Meanwhile, five more Grimm were circling Blake and Pyrrha who were standing and waiting with hands on their hilts until two of the Grimm swiped at them. Blake used her semblance to get out of the way, while Pyrrha jumped over the two started to slice their would-be attacker in half before slashing through the other vertically. Leaving only their fading corpses.

Behind the two, Weiss and Glynda started to hit the oncoming Grimm with there own semblances and was mostly covering Qrow and Jaune backs, as they cut down on the Grim near them.

A wave of Beowolves began converging on Ruby and Rin, but the two kept on with their shots of multiple bullets at the oncoming force...

Mean while Zwei was busy chasing his own tail. He stops to watch his owner fire forward and, after a dramatic mid-air stare-off, cut the single remaining Grimm in two.

Ruby looked at Oobleck, who didn't do any fighting. "Heh. Piece of cake!"

He looked at her. "Do not celebrate yet, for I am certain this is the first bout of many. Shall we continue?"

At that moment Nora spoke up. "Hey, why didn't you help us."

Glynda was the one to answer the question. "Because unless he thinks he is needed in a fight he won't fight."

Qrow then added in his thoughts. "Yeah, it always drives me crazy when he does that."

And with that, they all continued with there mission.

...
Meanwhile Yang and Ironwood were doing some hand to hand combat since Yang's new arm came in and the general was helping Yang get used to fighting with it, as well as giveing her some tips since his own hands were also robotic replacements.

Suddenly Ironwood stopped their spar. "Alright, that is enough for now."

Yang didn't like that, she wanted to keep going. "Come on! Just a little longer!"

Ironwood smiled at her. "We can will keep going... as soon as you answer a question for me."

Now the blonde was confused. "What do you need to ask...?"

"Just something that most of your teachers ask when they take your classmates on their first mission. I just thought that since you couldn't go I'll ask it for your teachers."

At this got Yang's trust. "Alright, whats the question?"

"Why did you choose this line of work?"

"Well, to fight monsters and save..."

"Well that would be a good enough answer if you were at Atlas, but here at Beacon, they would say to you that is what you do. They would want to know why you do it. The honest reason as to why you want to be a Huntress. "

"I see…" She considers this for a moment and then answers.

"The honest reason? I'm a thrill-seeker. I want to travel around the world and get wrapped up in as many crazy adventures as I can. And if I help people along the way, then that's even better. It's a win-win, y'know?"

Ironwood thought about what she said for a moment. "I get what you're saying, Yang... But when I look at you I see that there is more to it than that."

At hearing this made Yang very confused. "What...?"

"Don't worry I won't pry any deeper since I'm not one of your teachers. But I will say this... you might want to think about the topic a little bit more. Just in case a teacher asks you and no I don't think Qrow will ask you, he'll most likely only ask Ruby, if that."

Yang nodded her head and Ironwood smiles. "Good not then let's get back to training."

With that the two went at it again but the talk was still bugging Yang and Ironwood saw this. Normally Ironwood would go harder when this happens to a student but he saw that this is the best way for Yang to figure it out. So he kept on going easy on her for now telling himself that he will be harder on her tomorrow.

Back at Mountain Glenn Dr. Ooblieck asked Nora and Rin. "So... Nora why did you choose this line of work?"

"Well, to fight monsters silly!"

"No, that is what you do. I want to know why you do it. The honest reason as to why you want to be a Huntress."

"But that what I just said! Rin! Our teacher is being weird!"

At hearing that Rin sighed. "Nora he is asking why we fight the Grimm for others. Like I fight the Grimm because I don't want others to lose there home and loved ones like I did when were kids."

"Ohh!"

Nora then smiled and looked at Dr. Ooblieck. "It is mostly the same for me but one other thing as well."

Dr. Ooblieck nodded his head at her. "And that would be...?"

"Well after I lost my family and home I went from place to place on my own for a long time I even got on some ships looking for a family. But when I meet Rin around the time his village was taken over by a Grimm. Rin became my family and I want to make sure he is safe. Which it makes me really glad that we are on the same team together. Jaune and Pyrrha have become part of our family as well. And don't want to lose them either."

"I see..."

At this time Glynda was asking Pyrrha and Jaune the same thing. Jaune started to rube the back of his head. "Well... I'm the only boy of 8 I have seven sisters..."

Glynda looked at him in shock. *Seven sisters!*

Jaune went on. "And well even though my family doesn't want me to be a Hunter. The stories my Grandfather told me about my Great-Great-Grandfather who fought in the war. I knew that I wanted to be like my Great-Great-Grandfather. My weapon is even the very weapon he used in the war."

At hearing about where Jaune got his weapon shocked Glynda. "I see..."

Glynda then looked at Pyrrha. "Now I'm wondering about you now Miss Nikos?"

"Well... To tell you the truth before coming to Beacon I didn't know why I wanted to be a Huntress. My parents had me take fighting lessons when I was little. Because they wanted me to be able to keep myself safe in case Grimm ever got into Haven. But then my instructor saw how good I was and got them to enter me in tournaments. And the more I won them more people thought I was the best. My parents gave me all the love and support that they could but... Others just thought that I was too good for them. I wanted to get away so I came to Beacon instead of Haven."

The two just looked at her feeling sorry for her. "But..."

The two looked at Pyrrha to see her smiling. "But then I meet Jaune and then Nora, Rin and Team RWBY. I made friends, true friends for the first time in a long time. And they gave me the reason why I want to be a Huntress. I'm here because I want to help them reach their dreams and help them any way I can."

The two just kept on looking at her in shock. Which at this very moment was when Qrow asked Blake and Wiess the question. "Now look there is this question that every Beacon student is asked on there first mission. Ruby isn't going to be asked because Ozpin asked her it before letting her come to his school. So just bear with me okay."

Weiss looked at him for a moment and nodded. "Alright what is it?"

"Why did you choose this line of work?"

Blake and Weiss looked at him in confusion. "What?"

"Why are you two training to become Huntresses? Weiss, you are born into fame and fortune such as yourself certainly doesn't need the extra work. So... why choose this over a cushy job in Atlas? And don't say that you are a Schnee. That you have a legacy of honor to uphold. That once you realized that you're capable of fighting, there was no longer a question of what you would do with your life. It was your duty. Because even though your dad acts like a loving dad in front of family that doesn't live with you and other. And your mom looks like a loving mom to her Oz, Jimmy, Tai, and me. But I know all about Your dad only marrying your mom for her family name and that your mom gets drunk a lot. I was at your home when he told your mom on your tenth birthday."

Weiss looked at him in shock and before she could answer Qrow looked at Blake. "And don't just say there's too much wrong in this world to just stand by and do nothing. Inequality, corruption. Someone has to stop it. I get that, I really do, but you dom it alone, you need others and we all know that your time with White Fang didn't end well."

Now it was Blakes turn to be at a loss for words, but again Qrow spoke up. "You two out of everyone here has far deeper reasons for becoming Huntresses but you two don't know how to say it or to bring it out. So think about it I want to know by the end of the mission got it?"

The two nodded their heads and Qrow smiled. "Good now it's getting late why don't we get back to the others to find a good place to camp?"

The two nodded again and the three went back to the group.

...
Later on, as the Group camped Ruby was asleep that is until Zwei woke her up. "Huh? Zwei, it's late. Go back to bed."

Zwei then runs off. "Zwei! Zwei! Ugh!"

At that moment when Qrow woke up as well only to see Ruby runoff. "Ruby? Where are you going?"

He then got up and followed Ruby, once outside he finally saw why Ruby ran outside and walked up behind her. "So Zwei needed to?"

This made Ruby jump and turn to Qrow. "Don't do that!"

Qrow was about to laugh when he saw something and grabbed Ruby and went to hide. Which was a good thing since some of the White Fang showed up. "Well, well what do we have here?"

Qrow then grabbed his scroll and sent Glynda a text. "Come on... Let's find out where they are heading to."

Ruby smiled and nodded her head and the two plus a dog followed the White Fang members to the place to where their group has been hiding out. Once they got there and saw the building that the White Fang walked into the three started to head back when all of a sudden the asphalt beneath them suddenly sinks before caving in. Ruby grabs onto her dad's hand and catches Zwei. When Qrow was also holding onto the ledge trying to pull them all up. He tosses them up out of the hole and begins to attempt to pull himself up. However, the ledge he is holding onto breaks off and just as Ruby was about to cry out for him he turned into a crow and flew up to her and changed back into a human. "Ruby are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so..."

"Good... We should head back to the others."

Ruby nodded her head. "Right."

And with that, they headed back to camp. But within the White Fang hide out Roman heard the somewhat cave in. "What was that?"

"We don't know when we sent someone to check they found nothing. We think it was a Grimm almost falling down here or did fall down here and we haven't found it yet. We have everyone on the lookout in case there is a down here."

"I see, good to know you all on top of this. Let me know if anything changes."

"Yes, sir."

Roman then started to smoke. *Let's hope this isn't anything that will get in our way.*
