Ch. 28 Preparation

Monday came and past with no new about an attack coming from anyone. When Tuesday came the group decided to start a plan knowing the attack could come any day now. Dante took Ruby to Ozpins office and as they walked he discussed the plan with her. "Do you remember everything we discussed?" Dante asked Ruby as the hit the door to Ozpins office.

"Yeah." She said with a smile. Dante pushed open the door and walked into the office followed by Ruby. Once inside they both walked to Ozpins desk and took a seat in one of the two chairs.

"Ah and Ms. Rose, I was wondering when I would be seeing you two next." He took a sip from that very same mug he has had since the first time Dante meet him.

"We have something the two of us want to discuss with you."

"Of course, please." He said with a motion of his hand. Dante started off first.

"As you know there have been grimm attacks these last few weeks, and with them a faunus would go missing." Then would be follow.

"This would happen the same day of the attack but would not be reported till much later." Then Dante again.

"We found a pattern. The attacks would fall on a different day each week, never repeating the same day as the week prior." Ozpin just sat and listened to the two as they talked. "We had a plan to intercept one of these attacks." At this point Ozpin spook up for the first time.

"And what would this plan be?" Ruby was the one who answered.

"We want to be in the city before the attack starts."

"That sounds like a very smart plan." Ozpin said catching them both off guard. "Both teams may leave tonight." The two sat shocked looking from Ozpin to the other. "May guess would be, as to what you want to do, is have both teams in the city so that one may handle the attack and the other investigate the missing faunus." Ozpin watched as the two, still in shock, looked for something to say. "I may be old but that does not mean that my brain has stopped working. This plain of yours is very good, and with two teams of hunters already in the city we can hopefully stop that many more people from being hurt." Dante leaned forward in his chair and looked Ozpin right in the eyes.

"So we have your permission to leave the?"

"Yes, but you have till Saturday then I want both teams back with a full report."

"You have my word." Dante stuck his hand out and stood from his chair. Ozpin stood and without putting down his mug he shook Dantes hand. The two walked out of the office at a quick pace headed back towards the dorm wing. "Get everyone together we will leave in," Dante said checking the watch on his wrist. "One hour. Get everything together you need to stay in the city."

"Right meet at the station." They split up and headed in their own direction towards the dorms. Along the way Dante sent a message over his scroll to his other teammates telling them to meet him in the dorm. He was already getting stuff together when the rest of his team walked in.

"Get stuff together to last you till Saturday. Ozpin gave us the go ahead to camp in the city till the attack happens." The team quickly started getting things together for the trip to Vale.

"Where will we be staying?" Wynne asked getting her bag set and ready by the door. At first Dante looked lost not knowing what to say, then a message came across his scroll.

"Well it looks like we will be staying at the Grand Ranger Hotel." Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"The Grand Ranger? That's the best Hotel in Vale." Serene said walking over to him and looking at his scroll.

"Alright lets go." He said getting his weapons and getting them attached to his coat. Each team member checked their weapon and made sure it was in proper working order. Once everything was collected and ready the group grabbed their bags and headed for the station. The two teams meet on the way to the station and started talking. To their surprise Ozpin was waiting for them at the station when they got there. They lined up standing at the base of the platform looking to him as he turned.

"You will have a private ride to Vale from there check in to the hotel. Once you are settled you will start with your mission. Understand?" Everyone there nodded as the train pulled up to the station. They all loaded in one after the other putting their stuff on the bag holders and taking a seat. The ride into Vale was peaceful almost like the calm before the storm and everyone there felt it. A few times Blake and Dante locked eyes but said nothing only a smile was given. It was Dante who spoke first.

"We need to decide who will be sleeping with who, we have four rooms."

"Serene and I will take one." Helena said looking up from her book. The rest looked around at each other waiting for someone to speak up. Everyone knew Dante would not speak up so the others did it for him.

"Ruby and I will room together." Wynne said from next to him.

"Yeah and Weiss and I will be fine." Added Yang. "Which leaves Blake and Dante." The two locked eyes again and nodded to each other. It was not much longer that they pulled into the Vale station. They grabbed their stuff and got off the train heading right for the Grand Ranger to check in and drop their stuff off. The clerk was waiting for them when they walked in and got to checking them in and getting their stuff taken to the rooms. Once they were done checking in the two groups headed to the rooms. They were all on the top floor and on the same wall, they were what people called conference rooms. Each one was linked to the other with a fifth room in the middle which acted as a meeting room. Once they were all settled in everyone meet in the meeting room to go over the plan. "It's simple." Dante started once everyone was in and seated. "Once we get word of the attack one team will go and deal with it. That team will be our power hitters Yang, Weiss, Helena and Serene. The other team will go and deal with the kidnapping. That team is Ruby, Blake, Nala and I. Now the attack team, you are to take out every grimm you can stop with as little damage done to anyone. Everyone clean?" Everyone nodded and responded to Dante. "Good everyone get some rest, we don't know when the attack is coming only that it is." Everyone started making their way back to the rooms and slowly started realizing each room only had one bed. Once Blake and Dante saw it they both started laughing getting stuff put away and weapons out.
