It's been a minute, but I'm back with another chapter. So let's get into it.


[Before Team EMMM Set Off On Their Journey]

"Save the World??" Nora had yelled as Team JNPR had arrived on the scene, "You're going on world-saving missions without us?? I'm hurt and sad! Maybe a little hungry? That last one is not your fault though, Ren!"

"Sounds exciting. Where ya heading for RRH?" Church asked as Caboose and the rest of team MLLF joined in.

"RRH?" Ruby wondered.

"Red Riding Hood." Church answered.

"Oh, well we're heading just outside the Kingdom." Ruby answered.

Nora then joined back in, still chipper, "Hey, so are we."

"Same here." Caboose added.

"Ren and Nora wanted to shadow the Sheriff of a nearby village." Pyrrah added.

"We set out Tomorrow." Ren finished.

Out of nowhere Sun and Neptune popped up into the group, "Then you can party with us tonight. We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. We get junior badges." Neptune bragged about their duty.

"Boo! Detectives suck." Grif shouted as he walked by.

"You suck!" Neptune shouted back.

"You swallow." Simmons said as the two duo from team DRFL had been joined by the rest of the team.

"Well, looks like the gangs are all here." Emerald said as her and her badass team strolled up to the group, "So what's up? where you guys heading?" Emerald asked all leaders but mainly faced Caboose.

"We're hanging back to help Salem go visit a spiritual village close to the mountains." Simmons answered.

"Ooh, well we're heading far down south in the swampy marshes to clear out some really dangerous Grimm." Caboose eagerly replied.

Emerald gave a worried face like a mother, "Well you be safe okay?"

Caboose then cocked his head to the side in confusion, "What about you guys?"

Emerald fiddled with her fingers as she explained her mission, "Oh, well some huntsman went missing a week ago and they asked the school to assist in the search. We'll be shadowing Professor Peach."

"Well we have-" Ruby began to speak.

"Four minutes, ladies!" Doctor Oobleck yelled from the airship.

A few months of awkward silence passed until Tucker broke the tension, "Could be worse."

"How could it be any wors-" Blake was about to question.

Until an authority filled voice cut her off, "Hurry up gentlemen, we have no time to doddle, every second we waste is another second those Grimm run freely. So move it." Glynda ordered as she marched through the crowd towards their airship.

Then another awkward silence moment came by, "Welp. Ain't no rest for the wicked." Church finished as he threw his larger duffle bag over his shoulder and picked up his smaller one in his right hand and made his way to the dropship.

Caboose took a moment as he looked anxious about something, as he hopped up and down for a moment he then hugged Emerald and whoever else was caught in his big strong embrace. As he snuggled his friends close he spoke to all of them, "One hug okay."

Caboose joined Church and Doc as he jogged ahead, while Tucker stayed behind for a goodbye, "Wel, mi amors. Until we meet again soon; my heart will ache forever or until we see each othe-" Tucker poetically serenaded, until he heard a BANG and something graze his foot. He turned to see Church aiming his revolver at him and lost it, "DUDE!!!"

"Get in asshole, we're going hunting." Church smiled as he holstered his weapon before Glynda gave the back of his head a THWACK from her riding crop.

As everyone saw that hit connect with the back of Church's skull team RWBY jogged over to their ship to avoid a similar fate. Leaving team EMMM waiting for their shadowing huntress for the mission, as Sun and Neptune took Team JNPR. While team DRFL wandered off to do their own thing, mainly go to an arcade and pizza place. So the team was left to themselves as Mercury was deep in thought catching the attention of his leader.

"Yo, Merc. You with us?" Emerald snapped him out of his daydream.

With a jolt up he looked his leader in the face and responded, "Yeah, what's up?"

"You alright, you've been kind of out of it since this morning." Emerald told him.

"Isn't it obvious?" Melanie teased.

Militia smirked at her sister's comment, "Yeah, he's caught the bug."

"The bug?" Mercury questioned as they went to where Professor Peach would be.

Emerald paused for a moment then grew a cocky grin, "Ohhhhhohoho. That bug."

"Stopit." Mercury demanded.

Emerald with a catlike smile raised her eyebrows and asked, "You got a crush on the person from last night don't you?"

"Fuck off." Mercury said turning away.

Melanie shook with joy, "Oh he does..."

Militia cracked a genuine smile, "Good for you."

"Can y'all cut that shit out?" Mercury begged.

Emerald put a hand on the back of his shoulder, "Merc, c'mon man. I'm happy for ya. I think she'll like ya."

"That's the thing, I only caught a glimpse of her back and legs. She had a tattoo of a butterfly on the back of her leg." Mercury fantasized about who his mystery blonde was, "I don't remember much but I remember her. Long legs, soft skin, sky blue eyes, soft blonde hair and her lips were so soft and full."

"You got it bad. Don't worry we'll find her." Emerald told him.

"How?" Mercury questioned as his dream girl could be a gone.

Emerald grew a confident grin, "Ladies?"

"I'll check the girls getting out of the shower." Melanie started.

Militia rolled her eyes, "I'll check the changing rooms when we get into our outfits."

"I'll ask Team RWBY, Nora and Pyrrah for help. We got you." Emerald said as their Huntress approached.

For their semester Professor Peach, the dust teacher, had been a mixture of both the cutest and scariest teacher on campus, after they got to know Salem. She was cute because of her look, with her light orange hair always in a neat, clean bun. Professor Peach always kept her red-pink eyes hidden behind her safety goggles. Her skin was a lighter mocha than Emerald and her clothing hadn't changed at all, she wore a white lab coat that cut off at her thighs and long black boots that closed most of her exposed skin with a slight but noticable glimpse at her legs. That was where her cuteness shined through.

Despite her adorable exterior she was something of a monster with in. Not evil, but she was strict with her warm smile that lured you into a sense of safety and happiness. She had a zero tolerance for any disrespectful behavior and for those who didn't obey that rule would know how scary her hair pin was as it doubled as a syringe. The thing that made Professor Peach the most scariest teacher ever was her mad scientist form, when she would work nights to perfect a new form of dust. Terrifying and adorable, the two things that made her their shadowing huntsman.

"Hello students, is everything ready?" Professor Peach quizzed in her kind tone.

Emerald stepped forward with her pack loaded up, "Ready ma'am."

"Good then, let us go to the rescue. Now I assume you have all read the request. Recently off the coast of the northwestern sea a huntsman was aiding fishermen when they came across a Megajaw that tore their ship in two and from reports have heard they more than likely have made it to a nearby island. Our mission will be tasked with aiding in their rescue and helping their sick or wounded. So any more questions?" Professor Peach asked as everyone loaded into the bullhead.

Mercury raised his right hand, "Who's the huntsman?"

"I believe his name was Butch Flowers." Peach stated as the bullhead took off and their journey to the sea began as they took off at incredible speed.


[1 Hour and 37 Minutes Later]

The team had just passed the sandy shores of Vale's cities by the sea and were now flying towards the last known location. As they flew over the vast blue ocean Emerald kept her eyes constantly searching for a spec of land that or a piece of debris from the ship that the huntsman was on. Meanwhile everyone sat rather patiently as she was hoping to complete this task as fast as possible. As she had someone waiting for her to get back.

While the crew was waiting Professor Peach wasted no time with her career and immediately began the interview she was assigned to ask the group. All at once, "Well then students, please answer this personal question." She instructed.

"What's that?" Mercury questioned.

Professor Peach put a finger to her temple and asked, "Why did you all wish to become huntsmen and huntresses?"

"Meh, it's just seems like a pretty good job for my skill set." Mercury nonchalantly answered.

The twins took turns speaking with Melanie starting first, "Well, our Dad told us he wants a life he could never provide. Even though he was able to do almost anything because of his background it became difficult."

"Some people looked at him in fear, others with a sense of disgust and that made it difficult with school for us. We faced bullies on a daily norm, so he home schooled us." Militia continued.

Melanie started to look unlike her cheerful self as her usual smile faded, "During work he would always rush to the back room where we were to teach us as hard as he could. It wasn't until his staff was large enough that he hired former teachers to give us a proper education. Before then he would be so tired and beaten that he could hardly even lay peacefully on the couch as we played."

Militia gripped her sister's hand, "Our Dad wanted a better life for us so we have to be huntresses for a better life for him."

"Such an excellent answer. What about you Miss Sustrai?" Professor Peach felt moved from the last answer.

Emerald sat silent as she continued with her gaze, "One guy rescued me from the street. He told me that I could be better than what I was then. Ever since then I made it my goal to keep that promise."

"I see... who was this savior?" Peach asked.

Before Emerald could give her answer thr pilot spoke up from the front seat, "Excuse me, ma'am. We're approaching the island."

"Any type of signals or signs?" The Professor asked.

"Yes, just over that ridge. A smoke signal. Probably on the other beach side of the island." The pilot stated.

The island was not large at all, at most a probable 5 to 5 1/2 miles wide. It held a large cliffside, several thick tropical trees and a sandy beach covering the shores. The plane had been over the smoke signal in a matter of seconds.

Eyeing down below Emerald, her team and their shadowing huntress found around twenty moving bodies jumping, cheering and practically dancing at their rescue. The pilot phoned in that they would probably need a larger aircraft to carry the survivors off of the island. As soon as they landed and got off of the bullhead, a man with a cleanly cut beard showed up jogging towards them with a smile.

He had deep aquamarine eyes and a sun-kissed, pale but reddened face, he must have been in his late 30's or at least mid. His clothes were a torn grey shirt, white pants ripped at the bottom and his teal blue chest plate for body armor. He had his weapons strapped on his back; two tomahawks with a grenade launcher barrel for a handle with the trigger underneath the blade. His brown hair wasn't only on his face and head but also his forearms and legs as well as his open bare chest.

When he spoke his warm smile had warmed everyone a bit more, "Well, I must say I am pleased as punch that you are here. I wasn't sure when help would get here or how long we'd last." The huntsman, Butch Flowers cheered.

Emerald gripped his shoulder and shook his hand, "Don't worry, we're here to help. Mr. Flowers."

"Mr. Flowers was my father, call me Butch." The surviving huntsman insisted.

"Alright then, Butch." Professor Peach called him after speaking with the pilots, "Our pilots are unloading our cargo and after they're gonna head out and pick up another ship or two and get you ladies and gentlemen off this island."

"Thank you, thank you." Butch weeped tears of joy as he shook her hand with his two hands.

The rest of the day consisted with Team EMMM learning how to feed, apply medical attention and simply listening to the stories of the troops and the huntsman. They learned most were just fishers and farmers who were out there to stop whatever was stealing their fish. But their leading huntsman was a born and raised village person who came back to help from time to time. When the beast resembling a large shark swam to attack the ship Butch solely jumped on top of the beast with his two tomahawks and stayed underneath the water for a total of 2 full minutes. He shot out of the water as he bested the beast when it's essence rose from the ocean's surface, marking part of the sea dark for a while.

The other jet had arrived to load everyone on board for the trip back to their city by the ocean. When they had arrived back to their town the day had finally turned to night. As a show of kindness Butch had offered them all housing; in his exact words, "It's the least I can do, don't make me beg now." Seeing no way out they agreed to the terms.

So they spent the night in a four bunk bed room to sleep the night away. While the people celebrated in the town by the candlelight of the town's street lamps the team rested their heads. All except for Emerald who couldn't help but let her mind wondered for a moment. Until she finally drifted to sleep.

[End of Chapter]

Okay so I know this was rushed but if I didn't get this off it would've stayed in my head forever. If I missed your question sorry I will get it in the next one. Also welcome new comers. Until next time, Churchisalive signing off.

Before I forget next chapter I might have some of my own personal fan art to put on so you can see what Caboose will look like.
