Watching the Airship land, the ball of dread started to bubble up in Blake's stomach. A little voice in the back of her head told her that the White Fang would be on it. It also told her to run. That this was not a situation or a fight she could get into, espeshely with Sun. She had only met him days ago and here she was, putting blind faith in him. Trusting he wouldn't leave her out to dry.

The ship opened and people walked out. Just looking confirmed her fears, the White Fang was behind this.

"Oh no," she said the dread evident in her voice.

Sun narrowed his eyes in suspicion and asked, "Is that them?" He looked ready for a fight.

"Yes," she paused for a second, "It's them."

"You really didn't think it was them, did you?" he asked drowning out the voice of the leader.

"No, I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right."

Suddenly an all to familiar voice rang out from the ship. "Hey. What's the holdup?" It asked. Blake couldn't believe it. No way would the White Fang work for or with humans. Espeshely not someone like Roman Torchwick. Shooting to her feet she drew Gambol Shroud, her trusty weapon, and jumped from her rooftop lookout and onto the ground below quickly ducking behind some SDC crates.

She watched as Torchwick berated a Faunus.

"No, you idiot. This isn't a leash!" She took her chance, and while he was distracted, she launched herself forward and brought her Katana to the human's neck pausing just a hair away from drawing blood. The man cried out in surprise.

"What the! Oh," he stated rolling his eyes once he saw her. She cut him off pulling on all her courage and remembering all the times her parents commanded attention when they lead.

"Nobody move!" her voice rang out as she pulled, Gambol Shroud digging a little more into the man's neck threatening to draw blood.

"Hey! Take it easy there Little Lady!" Roman said trying to get her to ease up a tad.

She ignored him, instead, focusing on addressing her fellow Faunus. "Brothers of the White Fang," her voice filling the aria and removing the ribbon from her ears, "Why are you aiding this," she paused and then spat the word like it was rotting food from her mouth, "scum?"

"Oh kid-o," he said a tad sad, "didn't you get the memo?"

A confused noise escaped her throat and the voice in her head told her to run. It wasn't safe anymore.

"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together," Roman continued.

Shocked and confused and not understanding why she did the only logical thing she could, she asked, "What?"

"Oh yes, we work together now."

Tell me what it is, or I'll," she faltered for a second, "put an end to your little operation!"

"Wouldn't really call it a little operation," he said as two more airships arrived drowning out his voice at the end. Waiting for them to land, and with her distracted, Roman pulled the trigger on his cane blasting her away.

He quickly sent another shot after Blake and she scrambled to get out of the way. It didn't help that she barely had any sense of what was up and what was down. She somersaulted out of the way, shot after shot, ignoring his taunts of, "Here kitty-kitty-kitty." she left a clone and then dived behind a shipping container but not befor Roman shot at her heels and started to stalk over to her.

Her heart was pounding and her ears ringing. She had a migraine coming on and it was only just barely noticed due to the adrenalin coursing through her veins. She waited, getting a grip on her senses, counting her fingers and toes. How could she had been so rash? So inexperienced? So much like Ruby to think she could do this with sheer will alone? She had dived in head first, without knowing what their numbers were, without knowing the firepower they held. It was such a stupid thing to do, and now she was either going to die here or be taken prisoner and either way, she would most likely be painted a villain by the media and her parents would watch and never know that she had left and tried to start a better life for herself.

Her knees started to give in as she realized just how royally fucked she was. She could hear him. His steps grew closer, and even as the voice in her head screamed, begged, pleaded with her to move, to run, she couldn't find it in herself to do so. Tears slipped from her eyes as she prayed, she didn't know to who, but she did. For something, anything to help her. She didn't want to die. Her eyes slipped close and she allowed the hot tears to slip from her eyes. If anyone was watching closely they would notice a slight shimmery pink pearly look to them, but no one was, and thus, the detail went unnoticed as the young girl cried for everything she had done, and for the things she had yet to do.

Right befor Roman reached her though, he stopped, and picked a banana peel off his hat and grumbled as he heard the kitty had back up.

"Great!" he thought, "More annoying children."

"Leave her alone!" Sun yelled as he used the criminal's face like a springboard.

Blake couldn't believe what she heard. Sun hadn't left her. He was still here. And willing to take Roman on if he had to, just so she didn't have to. Pulling herself together and whipping away the tears she shoved her emotions away into the box she kept them in and she got ready to help him. She peaked around the corner and watched as he spun his giant stick around and pushed and pulled the White fang where he wanted them, sometimes bashing them in the head if he didn't feel like dealing with them. It wasn't a sloppy style, yet it wasn't refined like a Huntsman's either.

Taking her chance when Roman shot at Sun, Blake threw herself at the criminal claiming him as her own to fight. She still had something left to prove to herself, whether she knew it or not. She would feel like a failure if she didn't bring him in herself.

The two dueled and as Blake threw everything she had at him, but he simply paired her away turning and striking where he could. He was refined and skilled, years of experience shown through. She was erratic and wild. Unskilled and simply swinging like a child would swing a stick thinking it was a sword, compared to him.

She slipped and Roman made contact with her face. Taking his chance he didn't let up and started to beat her with his weapon. Seeing her struggle Sun lept and broke his staff into its gun-chucks form taking shot after shot at the older man. The two then commenced their deadly duel shots firing around them.

There was a pause and Blake came from the side knocking Roman onto his back.

Frustrated with the two teens he sat up and shot a crate from the sky right above them making it drop. Had the two not moved in time, they would have likely been crushed.

Not a second later a strong-willed high-pitched voice called out.

"Hey!" Looking over Roman's face lit up excited to see his nemesis again, but a little frustrated he'd have to share her with these two, who would likely be on her side.

"Oh hello Red, isn't it past your bedtime?" he mocked. She simply stared down at him from the top of the wear house, anger filling her tiny body. She said something, but it was unclear as to what or who it was directed at as she kept her voice low. She turned her head away from him, and taking his chance in one swift motion he shot at her anger filling his that she wouldn't give him the attention he wanted from her.

She was thrown back taking the shot square in the stomach, her Aura the only thing protecting her from the initial impact. As she flew through the air, her eyes sparked behind her closed eyelids and her landing was softened, well as much as it could be without the magic in her blood being active.

Roman laughed maniacally as only a cartoon character could. Not a second later, a girl stood in Ruby's place a sword coming out of her backpack. Then it split into eleven more and she hopped off landing on the ground taking some of the White Fang grunts with her.

She waved her hands around and the swords followed. She moved with a skill set only those with special training could. She took out droves of the Faunus and didn't break a sweat. Not even as three more airships showed up and started to rain bullets on the group.

She pulled herself up against the farthest wall and started up a beam of green energy all while still maintaining that smile. She launched the energy and within seconds the ships were sliced in half the occupants falling to their certain death if they were lucky. If they lived, they were sure to be punished if they returned having failed their mission.

Roman, seeing as this was no longer going to go the way he wanted, hopped on a ship and fled back to base.

The VPD showed up a few seconds later and detained the group of students as they checked to see if anything else was going on. The four of them sat on boxes and waited for their rides to show. Blake was disappointed in herself and was scared of what would be said by her team. She hadn't spoken to them for days. Not since they found out she was Faunus.

The voice in her head reassured her though that they would not be mad at her for who she was, but simply for her actions in fleeing them when the truth came out. It reminded her that she still had her parents on Menagerie if worse came to worse.

Seeing the remaining two teammates come up, Blake and Ruby stood to greet them. Ruby nodded to her blond, busty, firecracker of a sister, Yang, in greeting and looked at her partner the Snowqueen, Wiess, with a bit of warning and worry. It wasn't often Ruby pulled rank as the leader, but the unspoken "Be kind" was there. Wiess needed to put her past with Faunus behind her if she wanted to continue to be apart of Team RWBY. And what better way, then to reintroduce yourself.
