Chapter 1: Captain Dragon
Hey everyone, I'm back. Here's the chapter which has RWBY cast watch a fanfiction called Captain Dragon made by a really good author. Love his work, I'd recommend it. Anyway, to clarify things because some might have gotten confused, but I won't be showing everything in the fanfiction story, just certain scenes. Sorry if I caused any misunderstandings. Anyway, let's watch on.
"So, what do you think this universe will be like?" Ruby asked her big sister Yang, who only shrugged.
"No idea sis, but the Keeper guy did say we would see people that looked like us." While the sisters talked a bit, Cinder was asking herself how she even lived. Ignoring the odd stare Neo was giving her, and also testing something of her's. The maiden power she possessed was dormant.
'Very clever Mayden. If my theory is correct, nobody can use their powers.' She was correct.
On another person's mind, Adam had a very distinct rage in making Blake pay. Yet with all those allies on her side, even he knew he would fall before even touching her. For now he like everybody else would just have to watch these worlds by this weird entity.
With those thoughts in mind, the screen lit up.
The scene showed a large eight-wheeled APC vehicle with the symbol having a logo named 'VSPR'. It was rather ugly but it would do. Inside in the driver seat was none other than Yang herself in the shotgun seat. Wearing an outfit that was blue with a few modifications to it.
"Oh my gosh, Yang! You're a police." Ruby squealed a rather shocked Yang,, with some other members of the audience having similar reactions.
"No way...Yang Xiao-Long….is an officer." Weiss slowly said in disbelief. Even Blake couldn't imagine her partner being in the force considering her more wild tendencies. Qrow just took a sip from his flask thinking things might go crazy in this world.
Which he was right considering how the next few people that showed up were people that shouldn't even be in the force.
Driving the vehicle was Junior himself, who also wore the same outfit as Yang with his own modifications. Inside the vehicle were many others that donned the uniform. Mercury, Melanie, and Miltia. All criminals who wore the suit on the side of justice.
"What the hell!? Mercury's expression became akin to Weiss herself. Ironwood also wondering how criminals like them were part of the police force.
"No way, how is Mercury an officer?" Jaune asked the question to the entity that still couldn't be seen.
"Just keep watching." It said.
"Do you honestly think this'll work?" Miltia asked, her voice thick with scorn. "There's no way they'll let us get away with this, and even if they did, don't you think the White Fang will have moved their bases by now? He won't know any of them."
"Do you have a better idea?"
Miltia hesitated. "No."
"Then we go with this," Yang said, crossing her arm over her chest, and looking rather uncomfortable. "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If it does, the VSPR keeps going, and you idiots get to stay free. Isn't that worth taking a chance?"
Nobody responded, but inside they now understood. Whatever was going on in this world, everybody excluding Yang were still in some kind of trouble. But what kind, and how was Yang involved in any of this. Also wondering what she was doing?
The only person not thinking this was the only criminal in the audience on screen thinking, 'I don't look bad in blue. Guess the Merc charm works either way.'
"I dunno… it sounds like a pretty dumb idea."
Yang rolled her eyes. "How old are you two again?"
"Twenty. Why?"
Yang turned back muttering about twelve-year olds. "No reason," She said, turning to Mercury. "I take it your okay with this? It's not like we have any other options since you guys haven't managed to find any White Fang bases at all."
"Eh, it works for me," Mercury said, hunched over in his seat. The guy smirked cockily and drew a metal slat back on the wall behind him. It revealed a narrow eye-hole, and now that her attention was drawn to them, she could see that they surrounded the entire APC, giving them options to look outside if they needed it. "Like you say, it's not like we managed anything else." He leaned back and banged on Junior's seat. "Hey, old man. We nearly there yet?"
"Ask that again and watch me pull over," Junior replied. He swerved to the left, bringing them out onto a long and lonely road flanked by chain-link fences. "You might want to come up front, Blondie," he remarked. There was a second of silence, and he sighed. "You might want to come up front, captain."
"That's more like it," Yang said, unbuckling her straps and slipping through the cramped APC.
They'd come to a stop by a guard station, and two men were approaching. She pushed over the back of the seat and landed on the passenger side. She pressed a button and waited as the window on her side slid down.
"Captain Yang Xiao-Long of the VSPR," she replied, holding out the badge Ozpin had provided. "I'm here to speak with a prisoner regarding an investigation."
"Are you kidding me?" Weiss yelled out not believing that her friend Yang was not only the captain of this-this-rag tag team, but actually taking it seriously.
"This is so weird." Yang herself also felt very off about seeing this version of her.
"Hey Ozpin," Oscar whispered to himself. "Is this normal?"
'I don't think so. And honestly, I think we only hit the tip of whatever weirdness we're about to see."
Adam and Blake on the other hand didn't show much reaction to Yang being a captain of a group of criminals. Instead the two wondered how the White Fang was involved.
"We weren't made aware of this, ma'am," the officer said
"It just came up," Yang lied. "Look, we're here on official business, and if you'll check with your superiors, you'll see we have clearance to enter and leave at will, regardless of our reason. I'm only telling you boys because I'm being polite."
The guy outside her window looked to the other, who shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture towards his ear. The first nodded, and then turned back to her. "Please give me a moment, Captain. I'll radio my superiors, and I'm sure we'll have this sorted out in no time at all.
"Go ahead," Yang waved. "We'll wait." After a bit of talking, the two guards then let the vehicle pass entry. Where they soon found themselves parking with everybody getting off revealing themselves to the nearby officers.
"Can't say I ever expected to come back here," Junior said, watching the place with a veiled expression. "It's as horrifying as I remember it."
"Leave the talking to me," Yang called to the others in the back. "You're all coming with me, but I'm the one who speaks with him when we get in. Other than that, try to look like you belong. We've got every right to be here, and we're going to play on that."
"Heh, I was doing hustles long before you," Miltia said. "I know how to play the game. Question is, do you?"
Without answering Yang just began walking to the maximum prison with everybody else in tow. The guards moving out of the way not looking to pleased seeing a bunch of criminals walking around like they owned the place. Miltia and Melanie helped in that regard especially, the two possessing so much bitchiness it somehow came across as confidence. They sneered and turned their noses up at anyone and everyone they passed, and with the four falling behind her like some kind of military parade, it made her look better, too.
"Ha! Those sisters are the same as every." Yang joked around eating some good popcorn.
Ironwood wasn't as pleased. Not liking those who were involved with the Fall of Beacon being let loose. Although he did seem to notice something off.
"Winter," He asked his trusted specialist. "Does Vale look alright to you?"
Winter already understood what he meant. In this world, Vale seemed okay. Her only concern was that if this world witnessed the fall or if this was before.
"Sorry sir, but it is difficult to tell." Ironwood accepted the answer. Still, he kept a good eye on things. There seemed to be a reason why this group was in a maximum prison. And he doubted it was a good one.
The group then came face to face with a nasty guard with a serious case of anger issues on his face. "What the hell are you doing here?" he snapped.
"Well, someone has anger issues." Qrow said with some others agreeing.
"Captain Yang Xiao-Long of the VSPR," she said, flashing her badge. "I-"
"I know who you are," the man growled, slapping the badge out of her hand. Several other officers in the room gasped. "Or I don't know you, girl, but I know your joke of an outfit. VSPR? More like felons and crooks masquerading as men of the law. Bad enough when the higher-ups let these fuckers out, but now you have the balls to come back?" He sneered. "I think not."
"That guys an ass." Mercury commented with others murmuring in agreement with the young man. Ironwood himself thinking perhaps he should check Atlas's own security. He did recall hearing reports of rather violent individuals in the force.
Trying to stay calm, Yang showed no fear. A guard nearby having the courage to get in between and picking up the badge and giving it back to her. "Here you go, ma'am."
"Thank you. It's good to see someone with manners around here."
"Are you listening to me, girl!?" the warden spat. "You're not welcome here, you and your stupid bunch of rejects. I already played ball once, and I won't be doin' it again!"
Okay, it was official. Nobody was liking this jerk that was calling himself a warden.
"You have to," she said. "I have every right to be here."
"Tell it to someone who cares, missy!" Yang swallowed and clenched her teeth. Unsure what she should do what could cause a possible riot on her hands. Luckily-or unluckily-Mercury spoke up.
"Ahem." Mercury cleared his throat and stepped up to her side. "Shall I take him down, ma'am?" he asked casually. "I can knock him out, and have everyone in the room subdued in a few seconds. It wouldn't be hard."
Everybody in the audience then looked at their Mercury. "You actually said that?" Emerald said in a deadpanned tone with her partner only shrugging.
"Hey, if it works, it works." Was all he said.
The warden flinched back, as did his fellows, and more than a few hands fell to weapons strapped at their waists. For a second, she wondered if Mercury had done that just to screw with her, but the bastard winked at her and she quickly caught on. He was throwing his weight behind her – making him seem like the dangerous one, so she could come across with more authority.
"Looks like I did have a plan. Hah!" Everybody just rolled their eyes.
"No need, Mercury. Stand down."
"Yes, Captain." With the guards now relaxed, Yang took her chance to get passed the warden and finish what she was doing.
"Are you done yet? I'd like to move on if possible."
"What… what the fuck are you playing at…?" the warden growled. He relaxed a little, though his hand had yet to leave his handgun. He eyed her warily, but perhaps also with the tiniest amount of respect. Respect didn't mean like, however, and he made that clear with a sneer. "You dare to come in here and throw threats like that around? I should have you all arrested."
"Try it," she said. "I'll arrest you first." The warden looked shocked, something this Yang took her chance on. "Obstruction of justice, dereliction of duty, or maybe just plain old-fashioned sabotage," Yang listed. She wasn't sure any of those really counted here, but that wasn't important. She just had to keep her momentum up. "I have the right, no - I can determine what rights I have, when it comes to taking prisoners from you." She stepped forward, and was rewarded with the warden taking a step back. "You may be the king of this place when it comes to anyone else, but not us – and not me. We're the VSPR, and right now, I'm the boss here. If you step in my way, I'll take you down and drag you before court. Maybe then you can explain why you so wilfully broke the law by trying to impede our progress."
"Woah." Nora said in both disbelief and favor on what Yang just did. Her other friends also in the same situation.
"I have to admit….that is very impressive Ms. Xiao Long." Glynda commented to her student with absolute respect. Ironwood himself seemed to show good will toward her.
"Yeah baby!" Yang said taking up those compliments. Turning back to the other her. "Go me!"
"You… what the hell are you talking about?" The warden began losing his momentum.
"Article four of the VSPR," Yang said, holding out the folder Ozpin had given her. The grin she wore was nothing short of victorious. "The VSPR has all rights accorded to the Council of Vale when it comes to recruitment of prisoners into their ranks, including but not limited to prisoner transfers, prisoner interviews, and also moving prisoners wherever the hell we want." She snapped the folder back before he could take it from her. "But you already know that, don't you? This is the place my colleagues here all came from, so you know you can't do anything to stop me."
The man growled, his lip practically vibrating as he struggled over whether or not to draw his weapon. His companions seemed far less certain, and many had already stepped back in clear surrender. Not a one had a weapon drawn, and some were even looking away, making it obvious they weren't involved, or that at the very least they didn't want to be there.
Fine," the warden spat. "You'll get your time. Which prisoner you want to see?"
The screen then turned black for a minute. Nobody commented though because the screen then returned with a new scene. This one looking rather high end.
"Woah." Ruby looked at the high tech cell. "What is this?"
"That," Oscar-or Ozpin in truth. "Is one of Vale's finest cells made for the more dangerous criminals."
"But what kind of criminal?" Blake asked feeling suspicious of what her alternative partner was doing.
"No idea Ms. Belladonna, but Ms Xiao Long must have a reason." Ozpin finished. Everybody then turned back to see what Yang was trying to do.
His cell was easily the most secure in the facility. For one, it was disconnected from any hallways, and consisted of a smaller cell sat in the middle of a large, empty room. It was suspended atop a raised platform, and the doors leading out were at least twenty feet in the air – none being on the floor itself. To get to his cell, Yang had to wait as an artificial bridge was extended into place, connecting her door to his with a metal tunnel complete with an airlock.
"Sheesh, this is a bit much," Melanie grumbled.
"They're not taking any chances," Junior said. "Not with him. If he gets out, the entire city will be in uproar."
All of a sudden Neo started feeling a familiarity of who it was. Hope was seen in her eyes. Ruby also feeling the same thing but with a bit more dread.
"I'm going in alone." Yang stated as the airlock was released.
"He doesn't know you," Junior pointed out. "He won't trust you."
"He'll have no choice."
Junior looked like he might complain, but nodded after a second's thought. He reached into his combat vest and pulled out a small, silver case. "If you give this to him, he'll be more likely to listen to you."
Yang nodded and stashed it away. The officers nearby looked nervous at the thought of her taking anything to him, but they knew there wasn't much they could do. Her authority was too great, and that was probably an oversight from the Council and Ozpin now that she thought about it. With a nod to Junior and the others, she stepped out alone into the tunnel, and let out a quick breath when the cell door shut behind her. Finally, she was alone, but it didn't make her feel any better. She took the chance to catch her breath, and also calm her rampaging pulse. Everything had worked out so far, but that didn't mean she wasn't going through her own miniature panic attack.
"Dad will kill me if he finds out about this. Ruby, too. Heck, even Zwei would bite me." Yang thought out loud worrying the audience.
"Just who are you meeting Ms. Xiao-Long?" Glynda asked her former student.
"Yes. It seems quite problematic." Weiss also interested along with everybody else. Because whoever Yang was seeing, must have been dangerous enough to be placed in such a complex cell.
"No idea, but other me must have her reasons…." She said that, but even Yang looked nervous. Still, she could do nothing really but watch.
She flipped open the silver case Junior had given her with a flick, revealing a row of expensive cigars. Yang took one out and put the case away. As much as she felt Junior was being honest, she'd be an idiot to trust him, and that was the main reason why she wanted to go in alone.
"Ma'am...isn't that.."
"I believe it is Emerald." Cinder said already having a guess on who this Yang was visiting. Neo now bouncing a bit in joy.
Yang took a deep breath and let it go. It was stupidity of the highest degree, but it was also her last chance. If she didn't take this, then she'd be out of Beacon and off of Team RWBY.
"Huh-I'm not in the team?" Yang suddenly asked out loud.
"W-why?" Ruby asked in displeasure, Blake and Weiss also expressing the same thought.
Qrow on the other hand felt like he had a good guess. The others didn't realize, but Yang's hand was technically gone. No doubt none thought this far ahead, but maybe...the Fall did happen here, and was averted somehow. And if it was….then Qrow could see why Yang wasn't on her team.
Yang's boots echoed over the metal walkway. She looked confident, but it seemed rather forced. The central cell itself was fairly typical, nothing more than metal bars that reached down from the ceiling, with more running horizontally across the top. Simplicity had clearly been the aim, that and not giving the man inside anywhere to hide from view. There was a simple bed, a desk with two chairs, and a toilet off by the side. Not even modesty had been afforded to whoever was held inside. Clearly, Vale felt him too dangerous for it.
Yang did, too, and it was all she could do not to snarl as his head raised, green eyes flashing from behind orange hair. Roman Torchwick cocked his head to the side and smiled. "Why, hello there, yellow. What brings you to my humble abode?"
"Torchwick!" Nearly everybody inside the theatre yelled. All shocked that Yang herself was meeting with one of the very people that caused the Fall of Beacon itself.
"Y-yang! What are you doing?" Ruby cried out with Weiss behind her.
"Exactly. What are you doing meeting up with that miscreant of all people?"
"True that. This seems crazy-and I'm the one usually told that." Nora told them while Ren tried holding her back.
Cinder looked rather displeased that Torchwick was alive in this dimension. Like Qrow, she figured out the fall may have happened, and somehow failed. Roman being alive was proof of that.
Neo herself though felt very pleased. While she was still saddened by the fact her partner wasn't alive in her dimension, it felt good to know Roman was alive in this one. Even if he was incarcerated. But considering this version of that dumb blonde was their, Neo felt that her partner wouldn't be stuck there for long.
"Work," Yang replied, biting off her words. She hesitated for a second but stomped forward and into his cell before he noticed it. She had to appear strong. She had to be in control. "I'm here for work, Torchwick."
"Work, hmm? That's quite the school assignment. I wasn't aware Beacon sent its students to places like this." He leaned back in his seat and looked her up and down. She knew she cut a different figure in her outfit, and his eyes narrowed. "You look different."
With a shrug, she drew off the black and gold mantle and laid it on the back of the seat. As she sat down, she was painfully aware of the way his eyes flicked to the stump of her arm. He seemed surprised, though he hid it well.
With a smile she didn't really feel, Yang rested her elbow on the table."I had a haircut."
"Just what are you up to Yang?" Weiss said getting only a shrug from the blonde, also curious what was happening on screen.
"So I see." Roman chuckled lightly. "Looks like the cut a little too much off the sides to me, but I'm not fully up-to-date with your fashions. Not much time for it in here."
"I'm not with Beacon anymore," Yang said, laying the single cigar down on the table. She placed a plastic lighter beside it, and grinned at the way his eyes lit up. He glanced at her and then down at it, licking his lips. "Take it. It's a gift.
So Yang really wasn't with Beacon anymore. Yang narrowed her eyes and paid close attention to what will happen next.
"Ah, I've missed this so much. Okay, Blondie. You've got my attention for this. What is it you want?"
"First of all, I want you to call me by my name."
"Sure thing, Yang."
"How does he know your name?" Mercury growled at the silver-eyed girl
"Maybe if you shut up we would no." Ruby winced which drew nasty glares from the others, not that Mercury minded. He just wanted to see what was about to unfold.
Really, it was going to be that easy? A part of her was surprised he knew her name, but maybe someone had told him towards the end. Either way, her eyes narrowed. Roman simply laughed.
"I've been locked in here for over a month now, with no visitors other than that fat-ass warden, his men, and the occasional visit from Ozpin. Through all of that, I haven't had so much of a whiff of tobacco. You want me to call you be your name? Sure, fine – whatever. At this point, I'd be willing to do a backflip if it got me another."
"Ozpin visited you?" she asked. "Why?"
"Why indeed," Ozpin thought, although he felt that he already knew the answer.
"He wants what I know." Roman tapped the side of his head and smirked. "Or at least he thinks he does. Idiot keeps coming on by to see whether I'll crack and confess all my crimes. I'm about ready to crack and smash my head against the bars. Can't be worse than listening to him talk about how I could redeem myself by helping him stop others. Bah, talk about a sanctimonious idiot."
A few members of the audience frowned. Some though like Neo and Mercury snickered at the waste of time the headmaster was doing. Even Nora. Though that was mainly because she thought anything like that was funny.
"Why not tell him?" she asked instead. "Is there a reason you're holding onto it?"
"You interested in it as well?"
Yang shrugged. "I'm holding on to what I know because it wouldn't serve me any good if I told anyone. Right now, stuck in here, it's the last thing I have going for me. If I give that up for nothing, I'll lose what value I have to the bastard. You can bet I'll be abandoned to rot at that time, or maybe even killed off in an unfortunate accident." He sounded remarkably unconcerned about such a possibility. "I've told him if he wants me to help him, he should make a deal. It's all about economics, supply and demand, and right now I'm a reasonable man."
Sad as it was, it made sense. The same thing happening to Ironwood himself when he tried coaxing the information out of Roman.
"You took over an airship and had robots kill innocent people."
"I said reasonable, not perfect. You think I wanted to do that? Cinder made me a deal. I accepted it."
"And what were the terms?" Yang asked. "What did she offer you that was so valuable you'd kill for it?"
"My life…" He pulled out the cigar and sighed. "My life and that of someone else I cared about. I took the only option I saw. Not that I expect it to make much difference, but there was nothing personal about it."
A few glares came upon Cinder who actively ignored it. Now though it made sense why Roman was working with her, mainly because he'd been threatened with his life. That didn't mean they would like or forgive the deceased thief. But still, if Cinder hadn't covered him into this, then maybe the fall wouldn't have happened.
Adam didn't like the human, but also recalled the same threat Cinder put on him.
For Neo, her hate for Cinder increased again. She knew Roman worked for her, but never knew why exactly. When she had the chance, she would slit Cinder's throat.
"I'm not sure that'll appease all the people who lost loved ones."
"I did say I didn't expect it to make a difference. You can believe me or not, it doesn't really matter. The only reason I'm even chatting is because I'm bored as hell." He waved one arm in the air. "I don't get much in the way of conversation here. Anyway, I've answered your questions. How about you tell me why you're dressed like some kind of military wannabe?"
"It's my uniform. I'm a member of the Vale Special Police and Recon unit, the VSPR."
His brow creased. "So, that's what you meant when you said you weren't with Beacon. How did that come about?"
"Adam Taurus cut off my arm, and Ozpin decided I wasn't good enough to stay on." Yang clenched her teeth when his eyes went to her stump once more, but she bore it as best she could. "My job is to take down the remnants of Cinder's group and protect Vale."
Qrow, Yang, Blake, Ruby, and Weiss all gave a glare at the bull faunus, who only huffed with no signs of regret what he's done. If anything he should have sliced her head.
For Cinder, her worries were confirmed. This alternative of her truly did fail. Made her realize this version of herself was weak if she couldn't accomplish it. She also gave a small look at Mercury, now understanding why he was with this special group.
"What kind of deal have you been holding onto that information for?" Yang then asked, wanting to get this over with. Roman only snorting a bit before revealing his answer.
"A plea arrangement or a reduced sentence…" Roman shrugged. "It probably won't make a difference though. I've been sent down for five hundred years."
"Five hundred!" Jaune cried out loud. "I know the guys a criminal, but isn't that a bit much?"
The others also seemed a bit surprised by such a high sentence. Roman wouldn't even be able live that long.
"It's a stupid gesture thing or whatever to teach others a lesson." Qrow said taking another good sip. "Honestly stupid if you ask me. Isn't that right Jimmy?"
The man just growled.
"In that case...how'd you like an exit out of here?"
"...Excuse me?"
"You heard me. How would you like to get out of prison? You said you'd do a lot for a cigar. How much would you do for the freedom to go get your own, and a pay cheque to buy them with?"
"Are you toying with me?" he snarled. "You may think it amusing that I'm here, but-"
Yang's fist slammed onto the table, silencing him. "Answer the question."
"Anything. I'd do anything."
Anything? That's a little vague, don't you think."
"Does it look like I have a choice, blo- Yang?" Roman held his arms out wide. "I'm stuck here until the day I die, or 'til I commit suicide, whichever comes first. You could strap a bomb to me and tell me I have to fight a thousand Beowolves with a spoon to earn my freedom and I'd take it." He leaned forward, his eyes desperate. "I'm out of options. I would do everything and anything. What other choice do I have?"
"...it does make sense." Ren commented seeing the look of desperation on the crook's face. "With a sentence that long, who wouldn't want to escape."
"Yep. And thanks to Oz and the council VSPR idea, Roman has the opportunity to just let any criminal walk free. Stupid idea…..no offense Oz."
"...None taken."
Yang then showed some papers and the screen went dark once more. Then coming back showing one Yang Xiao-Long with one freed Torchwick now walking out of the prison with the others.
This won't stand!" the warden howled, following after them. "I'll never allow it."
"You don't have a choice," Yang replied.
"Then… then I'll inform the Council!"
"Go ahead." Yang pushed Roman into the back of the APC and waved for everyone else to climb in as well. The warden grabbed her shoulder before she could join them, and she had to hold back the urge to knock his hand off. "What?" she snapped. "I don't have time for this. You know full well I can do this, and I've shown you the paperwork.
"You won't get away with this," he said. "I'll go to the Council and they'll have your badge. You'll be out of a job so fast your head will spin, and those bastards will be right back where they belong; behind bars."
"And I repeat, go ahead." She flicked off his hand and rolled her eyes. "You do your thing, and I'll do mine. If they want to kick me off the VSPR, that's fine, but right now I'm in charge and that means we're driving away from here with Torchwick in tow. You can accept that or you can try and stop us." She pulled away and stepped into the back of the APC, calling out as she did. "The choice is yours, but we're leaving. Thanks for all the help."
Drive?" Junior asked once she was in.
"Drive," she agreed. "Before he changes his mind and actually tries."
Wheels screeched as Junior pulled the vehicle into reverse, flipping them about the interior and slamming Yang's head back against the uncomfortable cushion behind her. They started to pull away, and at a speed far greater than the one they'd entered with.
"He will tell the Council, you know," Roman said, smirk still in place as he sat on one of the seats. "And knowing those old fossils, they'll move quickly to try and get me back in a cell. I doubt you'll still be the Captain by tonight."
"That would be as bad for you as it is me," she pointed out.
"I know. That's why I'm warning you. If you have some kind of plan up your sleeve, now's the time to hear it."
"Her? A plan?" Miltia barked a laugh. "I doubt it."
"Now, Miltia," Melanie cooed. "We should give her a chance, no?"
"I don't doubt for a second he'll tell the Council on us, but if we have some concrete results before they can move to shut us down, they'll be forced to keep us running." Yang said ignoring their comments. "We need to prove to them just how important we are, and the best way to do that will be to shut down a White Fang operation. Roman, do you know of any places they might be staying?"
The criminal in question raised an eyebrow, but did answer her. "I know of at least ten, but there's no telling whether those would still be in use. If I were them, I'd have moved on."
"But do you know of any way to find out where one is for sure?"
"I may still have some contacts who owe me favours," he said. "Some of them can be trusted more than others. Get me a scroll and I'll find out what I can." He blinked and caught hers as she threw it at him. "They're not wrong, though. I'm not sure shutting down one White Fang operation will be enough to balance letting me out. They'll thank us for the hard work, then shut us down anyway."
"You leave that to me. I have a plan in mind."
"Care to share it?"
'Sure...when I can think of one.'
"Of course you wouldn't have a plan." Weiss muttered slapping her head. Nora though seemed pleased, thinking the best plans were the ones you came up with on the spot.
"There's a pharmaceutical factory that's gone quiet recently," Roman said, handing the scroll back to her. "One of my contacts says White Fang have been seen in the area, but his pal was killed when he tried to investigate. He's only giving it to us because he wants revenge." He nodded to the scroll. "I've got the address saved on there."
"In that case, Junior." The grown man swerved the vehicle and started heading toward the address. Yang handed Roman a uniform and relaxed smiling. Wondering how this would play out, and if things would go wrong. They couldn't…...Right?
With that the screen went dark for real this time. The audience now talking about what they just saw.
"Well that seemed fun. Heroes and villains working together like in the comics." Nora said giving her own thoughts.
"Well Firecracker...good luck leading those guys I guess." Qrow told his niece who accepted it.
"Man I look good in that uniform."
"Sure Mercury, just keep telling yourself that." Emerald said rolling her eyes.
"I wonder how the Fang is doing under my control?" Adam quietly said to himself, thinking perhaps this alternative of him was doing fine.
"Oh, oh, Mr. Keeper," Ruby said to the entity who spoke back.
"Yes Ruby?"
"Are we going to see more about this Captain Dragon universe? Seems fun."
"Yeah, it does seem interesting." Jaune admitted.
"Yeah, keep showing us more." Mercury added though really only to see himself.
"It all depends I guess." The Keeper said. "Don't worry though, we will eventually see that universe again. For now though, try watching this."
With that said the next universe was about to show.
And that ends chapter 3 of Captain Dragon. This came out quick since I really wanted to show it. Don't expect this all the time of course, I am busy with other things.
I also apologize if those who actually read the story noticed some missing scenes or alterations. However I should note that since Captain Dragon is rather long, I didn't want the chapter to take to much space. No offense to the the author of course.
Anyway, we will definitely see that universe again in the future. Maybe 4 other chapters. It depends. Anyway that'll be all for this segment, if you want to send in ideas in the review or PM's, then go ahead. Until next time.
