I lost.

I can't believe I lost.

I had so many good cards, I was in such an overwhelming position, but I still lost.

To Weiss ! She didn't even know how to play !

And as we went back to the dorm she had that insufferable look of superiority even I couldn't top.

" I hate that game." said Yang as we entered the dorm.

" You're only mad because Weiss beat you." countered Ruby

Blake started to go for the door when Weiss interrupted her.

" Stop ! You have been quiet, anti-social and moody."

" Uh... Have you met Blake ? " interrupted Yang.

" Which I get, is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual, which quite frankly, is unnacceptable." continued Weiss. " You've made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong."

She did ? I cocked my head to the side in interrogation.

" Weiss made her promise before you came back." wispered Ruby.

Oh, ok. I hope I didn't miss much.

" I just don't understand how everyone can be so calm." said Blake.

" You're still thinking about Torchwick ? " asked Ruby.

" Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it ! " answered Blake.

Roman with the Fang ? I did miss way too much.

" Ozpin told us not to worry, between the police and the Huntsmen I'm sure they can handle it." said Yang.

" Well I'm not ! " said Blake.

Yeah, I don't think they can. If Roman doesn't want to be found he will never be found, even if he robs half of Remnant. Which is why I don't understand why he was so well known now.

Well. Seems like we're off to stop whatever they're doing. If we can.

The next day, after classes ended, we met up in the dorm to go through what we had planned.

" You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies, or inconsistencies." said Weiss to Ruby, " Seeing as I'm in the familiy it shouldn't be a problem."

"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members." said Blake, " Neo and I will go in, and hopefully find out what they're planning."

With a twirl, I change my appearance to look like a reindeer faunus, my antlers static, and look a bit taller and older. I also removed traits that would make me easily identifiable like my mismatched hair and eye color.

" I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale." said Yang, " getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard."

That sounds like Junior. I seriously doubt he would tell her anything, but I wasn't going to help.

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

" Yeah ! " said a new voice coming from the windown.

It was Sun. He wanted in, and got in with Neptune.

" Who is she ? " he asked pointed me. I was in disguise after all.

I gave him a smirk and changed my eye color back to brown and pink.

" Wait ? Neo ? You can change appearances ? That's so cool."

I made a quick bow before Ruby interrupted us.

" Ok, Sun, you can go with Blake and Neo since you're a faunus and it'll probably be the most dangerous. Neptune, you can go with Yang since she doesn't have a partner. Everyone good ? ".

" Actually Ruby, why don't you go with Yang ? After all she is your sister." said Weiss.

" But, Weiss, who would go with you then ? " asked Ruby.

" Well, I guess Neptune could go with me." answered Weiss, hopeful.

Ruby laughed and dragged her off.

" What are we waiting for ? " said Yang enthusiastically, " Let's go !"


Guest : the only reason Penny knows of the Belladonnas is that she has access to military grade intelligence. I'm also going with the idea that nobody in the kingdoms cares about the leader of Menagerie, if they even know they have one. Penny also doesn't recognize Ghira as Menagerie's chieftan because Atlas doesn't recognize Menagerie's government.
