A/N

Chapter ten is here! I have nothing much to say other than. Lets get into it, and reviews are cool if you can spare the time to write one. Thanks for reading my book!

Also, I am currently brain dead tired. So if my writing this chapter makes you want to murder children. I apologize in advance. I was grinding in a video game of mine, and making the skeletons of two different fanfics. So I'm baked. As of this A/N It's 4:00 am. Leave a review if this chapter is complete eye cancer.

I'll happily edit it.

LL14, Out

—-

I awoke before anyone else did. I was in a Ruby-Yang hybrid burrito, I firmly pushed the younger sister away from me while I attempted to untangle Yang. Key word on attempt.

I fought with the strong bear-like grip she had on my middle. It took longer than I want to admit to get out of her sleep grab.

I stood up with an irritated huff. One of good nature. Rolling my neck I was greeted with the oh so lovely pops.

Qrow was passed out in a chair, multiple bottles of strong alcohol surrounding the chair. All where empty.

That part of the plot didn't change. I dug around in my pockets to grab a slightly crushed pack of cigs.

'He indulged in his bad habit, I might as well also. Ruby be damned'

I lit it up and made my way towards the huntsman. Maria was fast asleep in the loveseat.

Because I was a wonderful person. I picked up one of the bottles and nudged Qrow with it. He didn't stir. 'Damn, he really did it this time'

I jabbed him with the bottle harder. He just snorted and rested his weight on the wall to his right.

Fuck it then. I brought the bottle above my head and brought it down on his shoulder in one swift movement. The shattering of glass and Qrows confused shout caused the rest of our group to be aroused from their sleep.

Ruby barreled around the corner and barely managed to catch herself. Yang flew in behind her sister "Shino!"

Blake and Weiss were less gun ho. And hung back with a tired Oscar. Maria had her cane posed and ready.

Qrow looked up at me with a glare. "You know, if I knew you were gonna get inebriated on watch, I would've done it"

Shame crossed his expression briefly. Ruby's disappointed expression drove my point home further.

He rubbed his face. And didn't comment. Ruby cleared her throat. I angled my head towards our reaper and her gaze was firmly on me.

'Ughhh' I sighed internally. I crushed the cherry between my thumb and index finger. I spit out the death stick with an exaggerated poof.

Maybe it was the hardwood floor that made me irate this morning. God knows.

I threw my arms up as Ruby didn't let up on her infamous look. "Going for a walk" Kicking Qrows chair for good measure I made my way through the house. Floor boards creaking under my booted foot falls.

—-

I walked in the snow. The crunching was mild therapy to me. I decided to run a perimeter around the farm.

Before I was a pilot I was a soldier. Old habits die hard perhaps? Now that I was firmly away from the Mom of our group I lit up another death stick.

It wasn't long before I heard another set of feet approaching. I paused and looked back. It was Yang, she had something canned and steaming in her hands. Scratch that, two things.

"Hey, I brought food" I took a long puff from my cigarette. "I see that, Thanks" My tone was more gruff than I wanted it to be.

Yang closed the distance and pushed my can forward. I grabbed it but the blonde didn't let go.

"What's wrong Chino?" Her hand wrapped around mine that was gripping the can. "Everything and then some"

I answered truthfully. "I'm just tired" Yang's lilac eyes pierced into my own. My heart fluttered. "I know, hold on"

Yang dug in her bag. That I just now noticed. She held up a small tool of unknown use to me. "Want to help calibrate my arm?"

It was an act of distraction, one I desperately needed. "Sure" I shrugged. "Does it perhaps, Have a vibrate function?"

My attempt at a joke worked. Yang grinned. It was one of her world famous lecherous grins. "Wanna see~"

'Nopey Noope~' Telling by the shiver that traveled up my spine, my body wasn't so against the idea.

"Uhhh, Maybe?" I wanted to get hit by a bus. I felt the heat on my cheeks and ears. I had no tact in hiding the mild arousal that gave me.

Yang's face started to tint a slight shade of pink. My tail swayed playfully behind me. I definitely had zero tact.

I mean fuck! A rock could tell. I grabbed my tail out of sheer spite and began to wrench it in my hands. The white and blue appendage had pain lacing up it as I twisted.

'What the hell man! She's 17!' So here I was. Standing face to face with a should be fictional character and flirting with her. She flirts back apparently. I should've learnt the first time.

It was Yang. Not any other woman.

My thoughts were interrupted as I was pushed against the snowy fence. I looked up into a half lidded liliac gaze. Yang's metal arm rested on my hip, her human hand cradled the small of my back.

'Oh no' Her breath grazed my ear. "Let's find out hmm?" She remained there for a solid half minute. I was fumbling for a response.

Yang then let one hand teasingly trace my spine. And she pulled back abruptly. My face at this point looked similar to the side of a firetruck. Yangs was dusted with a heavy pink. I gaped.

With a wink and a slight santer. Yang turned and grabbed our cans of mush. And gave me mine. Which I numbly held.

She brought up her human hand and closed my jaw. She then roughly pulled me forward and nuzzled her nose against mine. My smoke fell from my lips as my jaw once again fell straight open. It landed in the snow with a hiss.

Yang shoveled some of the unnamed canned food into her mouth. That I duly noted was carrots and some sort of meat.

She then walked off. With a certain sway in her walk that my two remaining brain cells focussed on. 'What ever happened to being a god tear pilot badass?'

My two brain cells that I've dubbed. Dumber and Fucking Stupider. One gnawed on cardboard the other? You don't even want to know.

My food grew cold in the time I stood there like a newly baptized Idiot. I got my ass in gear and finished the bland food.

I fear for Salem. Imagine getting defeated by the world's biggest dumbass. I honestly couldn't tell if she was being genuine or just being, well Yang.

Either way my brain has a terminal type malfunction and requires several reboots after this particular interaction. The time she fondled me to learn my breast size flashed through my mind.

'How have I lived this long?'

Today I think we were heading to Argus?

Ruby was kinda the defacto leader. I followed Yang's tracks in the snow.

—-

Everyone was surrounding Yang's bike bumblebee, which was hooked up to the snowmobile-like trailer.

Oscar was eyeing up my A10. I gave a silent prayer. Please dont hook anything up to the Jet.

I walked up next to Qrow, who gave me a slight smile and a once over. Yang gave me a knowing grin and waggled her fingers, to which I responded with a cordial middle finger.

Blake watched on with a smug smirk. Something I was becoming accustomed to. The girl was less stoic now.

Weiss on the other hand…. Was currently giving Ruby a lecture. On what? The fact dear Ruby drooled on Weisses dress. Though no actual petty anger was coming from the white clad girl.

Ruby threatened to pour dirt on the Ex-heiress. To which she grabbed Ruby's ears and began to shake her.

I walked nearer. "You insufferable dolt!" I rested my hand on Weisses shoulder with a wry grin splitting my mosty monotone features. "Careful, princess I have cooties on my hands"

Ruby giggled much to Weisses ire. "No, such things exist" Much like Qrow did to Winter I leaned forward into her personal space. "Actually" I put on a bored face of mild horror.

"You've already contracted them" I looked at Ruby. "Sorry to tell you this Red, Ol' Weissy will die soon"

To which the Reaper gasped in faux despair and latched onto the fuming Schnee "Nooo!" Ruby cried.

"Get! Off me you energized brute!" Yang also Gasped dramatically from behind me, sending tingles up my spine. "I'm not a Brute anymore!"

Weiss about imploded. Qrow's Qwaffing sent her over the edge. Yang was frozen. Ruby was promptly tossed into a snow bank. And I? I was reduced to being crushed by a gravity glyph.

"Ack" I help up a shaking hand in surrender. Ruby stumbled over as the glyph faded allowing me to breath again.

With a poof of snow Ruby collapsed next to me. "Shee's soo mean" I groaned. Yang's ice cube exploded and she dropped to her knees next to me, her hair alite with flames.

"Dictator!" Yang breathlessly exclaimed as she shielded mine and Ruby's prone forms. Weiss crossed her arms and huffed. "Can you clowns do something productive?"

I let out a defeated whine. Yang pouted and Ruby shivered. "Dictator" I weakly spoke into the snow.

Twenty or so minutes later I was following Them with the A10. I was using it as a glorified car at the moment. Both engines were barely running. Putting out little farts worth of thrust.

It didn't take long for The large walls of Argus started coming into sight. Unlike Mantles metal and concrete walls, Argus's were more of a castle-like design. The Atlas base stood strong and firm. The weird dust shield wall, pillar thingy's stood strong.

Unfortunately The Titan in the sea that'll approach soon would love to state otherwise.

But the big scaly ass monkey has another thing coming. I wonder what a JDAM would do to its oversized forehead?

Big meaty crater? or would it go straight through?

I'll find out soon enough. Adam should be present here. With his murder boner for Blake on full desplay no less. I plan to take care of him with or without Yangs or Blakes help.

I want to redeem Adam, but at this point he's too far off the rails. I put him at Tyrains levels of Nutcasing.

I shivered as the thought of that particular Looney passed through.

All I knew was a shit show of epic proportions was rapidly approaching in an unknown number of days.

And it only gets worse. Pennys second death. Ironwoood going batshit off course. Oscar getting tortured. The hound. Jacques Death. Watt's death. And team Rwby plus Jaune falling off into the darkness.

Neo's Hate/murder boner for Ruby. The use of all The LongMemories momentum. Atlas and Mantle falling.

Clover's death. Vines death.

And the deaths of thousands. Cinder was dead. I was a maiden unwillingly. I didn't think this through when I went for Cinder's head.

I didn't regret killing her. But I regretted having the powers.

After that. I had no clue what the future holds and it scares me. After this it would be just my wit and my surface knowledge level of this world to keep me and these loveable idiots alive.

With those grim thoughts. I started brewing plan after plan. All failed in one way or another.

I was interrupted from my thoughts once again as we arrived at the gates.

I guided my A10 off and to the side. I opted to park the war plane near some snow capped trees. I should worry about it being stolen. But who else knew how to start up a high tech, Air to ground attack plane?

—-

I walked behind Yang with Ruby and Qrow leading our misfit march. Blake was parallel with me, likely taking comfort in being around another faunus.

Weiss was slightly to Blakes left.

It didn't take long to find Jaune and his gang. Nora the demon was hyper as ever. Ren was, well Ren.

We got led around for a few hours, with Jaune giving us a surface tour of Argus and boy was this city well off. Comparing it to Vale was like comparing the A10 with a Bullhead. The people looked rich, Hell they even smelt rich.

My tail swished back and forth, It brushed Blake and I gave her an apologetic smile.

"It kinda does whatever it wants" I explained. Point in place it wrapped around my middle and uncoiled itself like a snake. Blake just watched. She gave me a half shrug when my tail grazed her thigh once again.

This time I grabbed the annoyance of a limb and started aggressively twisting on it.

Yang had to be some short of Aura gager. She whirled around, not stopping in her pace and swiftly grabbed my tail and wrenched it from my hands.

I very much put my hands up and then crossed them. I was acting like a child. I gave no fucks.

Yang gave me a pointed look and I rolled my eyes. "Sowy Mr. Tail" I cooed mockingly at the appendage.

I looked up at Yang "Gooda nuff?" My completely 'could carless tone' Got a smirk. "Vwey Much Swo"

Yang mocked me in turn. 'Cheeky fucker' Though I found myself smirking along.

The Gang and I arrived at.. Jaunes sister's place?

Did I stick around very long? No. I hand better things to two than play house warming.

I had a certain Military outpost to harass. And boy did I harass them. And Cordovan or what's her face.

—-

I found myself on the roof with pink spray paint. My Semblance didn't have a heart attack and it was actually working, much to my ongoing surprise.

I smirked as I added more detail to a phallic object. There definitely wasn't a bright pink cock of epic proportions on the roof of the institute.

Not at all. I added a few hearts to the surrounding area. The final touch was an inscription of: "We here at Atlas, praise our generals genetic spout!"

I chuckled to myself. I scaled a tall radio tower and whipped out Qrow's scroll. Yes I stole it again. I snapped several pictures.

Destruction of private property I could get behind. Regardless, General Tin Boy would love my present. I mean I did leave a handful dotted around Atlas and Mantle.

And boy did he love those.

I was here for another purpose entirely. I slid a skylight open and dropped in. I landed with a soft thump. The female attendant didn't even hear me.

I raised my arms. I leashed out and wrapped my arms around her neck and proceeded to wrestle the woman to the ground. She struggled longer than most people would in a choke hold. But soon she stopped struggling.

I layed her body down gently and began to remove her uniform. Thankfully she had a white shirt and some athletic shorts underneath. I checked her pulse and sighed when I felt one. 'Didn't kill her, good. Now she just has a killer headache'

I put the uniform on over my outfit. I left my jacket and United back at the safe house. I only had my 45.

For good measure to make sure she stayed, not a problem. I ripped up her shirt and Used to to tie her arms behind her back.

That left her in a draftly crop top. I didn't bind her legs, but she did get blind folded.

I then picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. Much like a sack of potatoes. This woman stood around my height.

And in true hitman/woman style I simply dumped her unconscious form in the nearest closet.

"That was easy" I whistled. The small computer room I was left in was. Just that. Small and had servers upon severs lining the walls.

I was after a Bullhead. Plus every computer I touched exploded. So I avoided touching anything in the room and left. I followed behind two stocky gentlemen. They weren't Cordo's boot lickers. I matched my posture with theirs.

Soon I came to what looked like a common room, I left just as fast as I arrived. But I did spot another woman in pilot garb head towards a specific area.

I lowered the brim of my cap and followed her.

This person had some situation awareness because she rounded on me the second we entered a empty hallway.

"What do you want, Coms Girl?" I looked down at my Uniform. Huh, thats why I was getting stared at.

I made my voice slightly nervous sounding. Though with mine being Raspy and had a slightly unique accent and timbre.

The girl raised her eyebrow but let my explanation continue. "H-hey, your a pilot right?"

She nodded. Her murky green hair bobbing with her movements. "Yea-"

My fist collided with her nose. That shattered the women's untrained aura. "Ah" Was all she got out before a fist buried itself in her gut. She curved inward with my fist, exposing her neck to me.

My other hand bashed down on her nape. Like a puppet with its strings cut she collapsed. She wasn't able to utter a peep. Like the women before her I pulled the same stunt. I dragged her nto a adjacent room and begun to strip her.

She had standard blacks underneath. Though in my haste to don her outfit. I pulled too hard and her shirt ended up ripping.

I paid it no mind and threw on the pilot garb. Within seconds I was out in the hall and heading to the landing pads.

I bumped into a tall form. "Hey, your not Karre-" My fist found his exposed junk. The dude whimpered like a baby and dropped to his knees.

My foot bashed his head to the side. his auburn aura fizzled out of existence. Next I brought my foot down on his neck, not enough to kill. Just incapacitate.

He was out like a light.

I was jogging now. With my increased speed I found the Bullheads within minutes. I didn't bother to hide my speed or my hurried gait.

I all but leapt into the nearest open one. There was an unaware dude in it. "Bout time my co-" he didn't get to finish.

My boot was cramped into that back of his head. Bashing it against the wall nearest to him. I grabbed him by the scruff of his uniform and tossed him out the awaiting door like yesterday's trash.

The bullhead was a piece of cake to start up. It didn't rumble. I just let out a light humm and the door slid shut with a metallic clang.

I was in the air in seconds. No one the wiser. Well except the poor people I kicked the stuffing out of.

I laughed. "What's this? My seventh heist against Atlas?" The chatter was going wild as I flew off.

Cordo was absolutely livid and demanded I land. I choose to keep the com silent. Though it didn't stop the impish grin that broke across my face.

She Used the base's defense to try to bring me down. The bullhead was cumbersome but I managed to only let a missile graze me.

It scraped past my left wing leaving a large scratch. The warning system blared when it blew up in front of me.

Ice shards rained onto the cockpit and the front was blanketed in frost. I jerked it into a nose dive as another blew up directly next to my left, sending me in an unwanted bank. I gritted my teeth and straightened out the belly of the aircraft scraping the ocean.

No more artillery came. I let out a breath. And pulled the throttle back slightly. I was six miles out after I ran the gauntlet of Missiles. The 2nd most dangerous run I've done with an air vehicle. lasted about fifteen minutes. The bullhead was slower than the A10 by a large margin.

I stayed low and banked around the peninsula. Maybe I could hide the bullhead near Adam's death bed?

—-

I did just that. Landing the VTOL was strange. Half the controls were backwards. But due to me hitting the console I finally got it to land.

Does this thing have keys? Turns out they do. I yanked the key from the ignition area and pocketed it after looking at its strange design. It looked similar to one of those old skeleton keys.

It was bright white with blue lines running down the spine. I stuck the tip into my mouth and clamped on it with my teeth and tried to bend it. It didn't have any of it.

I pulled it out and pocketed it. I had no shame. The Key looked tasty okay? I shrugged and stuffed my hands in my pockets-err-someone else's pockets?

I decided I was uncomfortable wearing someone else's clothing and started taking it off as I walked.

The helmet was tossed over the cliff to my left and it landed in the water below. The vest thing was, next I hung it from a tree after throwing it like a frisbee.

It half blended in with the snow. The pants weren't removed. The walk was slow and scenic. The View of the ocean and the base's peak was a nice sight. It wasn't as amazing as Atlas itself but it was certainly up there.

I honestly think my one time seeing Atlas trumped anything I've seen in my life. "Shit!" I cursed. "I forgot my damn spray paint" I knocked my temple.

I was left in my crop top and the white trousers. That smelt like cinnamon. Thanks faunus nose for your contribution.

Hours later I scaled the wall and dropped into someone's yard. I was super lucky as I landed In front of Maria and Ruby causing the latter to jump out of her skin.

"Shino!" Ruby cired. Her face was a mix of confusion, Slight fear. And she was happy to see me.

"Thats me~" Ruby practically jumped me. "Didyouhearthoseexplosions?" I nodded. I only caught the first sliver of her word spew. "Yes, yes" I put my hands on her shoulders and generated some space.

"I heard them" My completely non concerned tone made the bright leader looked up at me. "You know why they happened?"

I rubbed the back of my neck. Just as Weiss opened the back porch. "Ruby, Maria dinner is ready-Oh, Shino, you too" She nodded back at me.

I leaned down to Ruby's height. "I acquired transportation to Atlas" Ruby perked up at that news but edventile settled down. "You stole something, didn't you?" I shook her shoulders. "Nope! I even asked nicely"

"Return it" I shook my head. "Can't, we need to get to Atlas" Ruby gripped her hair. "There's another one"

"Hey, I'm not as bad as Qrow"

Ruby shook her head with a defeated smile upon her face. "Your worse" I'm wounded all so terribly at her words.

"Ouch" I echoed and turned to the door. "Let's grab some grub and tell the others we have transportation"
