Before anything else, I own nothing but the original characters, and content therein related to them. RWBY is owned by RT, and any mentioned creator's work belongs to them, and them alone. Rest in peace Monty, your vision lives on in us all.

Authors Note. Sex is an inherent part of life, even though this is the internet and plenty of porn exists on, I will be adhering to the guidelines set forth that state nothing explicitly describing the act of sex will be written, despite wink-wink, nudge-nudging, or stating that it did happen, in the stories I come up with all the time. Effectively, sex scenes will be omitted from my stories on this site, becasue they arn't relevent in most cases. Which means some chunks of, or (in one case of filler I came up with because I was drunk,) an entire chapter later on, will only be visible on AO3 if I get around to putting either the whole story or just those bits on there. If you for want to read smut, there are better places to go, and until the rules change I will be hording my smut like Smaug hordes gold. Now, back to our overt depictions of violence which will always subjectively be less offensive than sex, to Americans at least.

CHAPTER 13

It was the night before a field trip in the Beacon dorms, and the Crimson Couple both came out of their rooms, planning to sneak off to the common room for some privacy to do what they did every Sunday night after everyone else was asleap… That was until they ran into Jaune outside his room. "Oh, hey Jaune." Ruby said.

"Hey, guys." He responded dejectedly.

"You doing alright." Clayton asked. Jaune looked at the door to his dorm room, then back at the couple.

"I… I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now Cardin has me on a leash, Pyrrha won't talk to me, and I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." Jaune said, thumping the back of his head against the wall. "I'm a failure."

"Nope. You're a leader, you're not allowed to fail." Ruby said, as Jaune sat down against the wall.

"What if I'm a failure at leading?" He asked. Clayton shook his head.

"Believe me Jaune, you're not a failure at being a leader. And either way, you're not the only person that matters anymore." Clayton said.

"You have a team, and that team needs you. So whatever it is that's bugging you, don't be afraid to deal with it, with or without help." Ruby said, offering Jaune a hand to get up with.

Jaune accepted Ruby's hand and got to his feet. "Thanks you two. Good night." Jaune said, about to go into his room before his scroll rang. Clayton and Ruby took this opportunity to slip away, hearing the conversation between Jaune and Cardin as they hid around the corner. Continuing to the common room, two things were on their minds, wondering if the lock to the common area bathroom had been fixed, and figuring out a way of screwing over Cardin.

In any case, Ruby led Clayton into the unoccupied common room, and turned to him with a smirk. "Well, what are you waiting for?" Ruby asked...


Within the next hour, Clayton entered his dorm room, and everyone looked up from whatever they were doing, Siniy's nose scrunched up, having smelt a mix of pungent body oders. "Boys, we've got a mission."

Ruby opened the door to her dorm and woke up her team one by one. "Ladies, we've got a mission."

Clayton pulled out his scroll and opened up the power point he'd hastily drew up. "Objective… Humiliate Cardin Winchester." Clayton said.

Ruby pulled up the file Clayton had sent her, and briefed her team. "For too long there has been an enemy at this school, an enemy we have long since ignored." Ruby said, marching back and forth as she spoke.

"Tactical analysis gives us one shot at this. The field trip tomorrow. His team will be isolated, and with only one teacher per the total acreage of the Forever Fall, we will be able to act with impunity." Clayton said, pointing out the fact it would only be Professor Goodwitch with the students.

"His team will be an issue, but that's ok, we outnumber them 2 to 1 with Team SPGL on our side. We'll fight them off, and then assuming all goes to plan, Cardin won't ever bother anyone ever again." Ruby said.

"So what do you say?" Clayton and Ruby said at the same time.

Pale, Siniy and Halcyone looked at each other, grinned, and nodded. "We're in." They said simultaneously.

Team Ruby on the other hand. "I'm not participating in such a barbaric act of vengeance." Weiss said, only for Blake to look at her from her bunk.

"Not that I want to exactly draw Cardin's ire, but you can't tell me you at least don't want to get back at him for all the teasing he's done to you." Blake said. Weiss harrumphed.

"It's not my place to determine who's to be punished for their actions, reprehensible as they may be." Weiss said.

"Whatever Ice Queen, Jaune was my first friend at Beacon, if Cardin's still picking on him, I'm in Rubes." Yang said.

"I'm out, I don't want to piss Cardin off, but I'll be there in spirit." Blake said. Ruby sighed. She was now down on personnel, and Clayton said he'd need her team if this was to work. It was ok, she would make do without the moody loners.


May 9th. Forever fall was beautiful to say the least… And vast. Once the four teams had been released to scout out and find trees suitable to collect red fall sap from, Team SPGL and the sisters of team RWBY converged, collected their bounty, and then began their scheme. Pale slid down the hill, done with his quick scouting job, and pulled out a map with a few markers on it. "Alright, I know the area really well, so y'all follow me. Team CDNL should be just past this eastern ridge line doing jack and shit if I know them, and what they've been doing to Jaune. So we're going to hike up there, and get set up. Once we're in position, we put up the psyop devices and begin our assault, beat Cardin's teammates into submission, then we make sure Cardin 'll think twice before pickin' on the boy." Pale said.

"I'm surprised at how motivated you are to do this." Clayton said.

Pale lowered his eyes, and tipped his hat. "Jaune seems like a good kid, and I don't like people that hurt good kids."
