The guys were lounging around heving changed already into civilian clothes though they were still waiting on the girls. Today had been a day. Naruto looked over at Caboose who had been eerily silent since they had escaped. In fact, Church had been silent as well.

Caboose seemed to sense his partner looking at him and looked over at him. The two stared at each other for a moment. Naruto looked ready to say something but stopped when the door to the changing room was kicked open.

"I hate you all!" Weiss growled walking out first in her regular clothes.

"Oh come on Weiss it's not that bad," Yang said. "I'm sure you can still turn heads,"

"Shut up!" The white haired heiress hissed.

"What happened?" Roxas asked.

"Yang decided to measure and compare all of us," Pyrrha answered as she walked out next. "And Weiss was…"

"The least developed of all of us," Blake finished easily as she sat down next to Naruto.

"Nora was the most surprising," Yang commented looking at the hyper orange girl as she walked out. "You pack a lot for a short girl,"

"Yep!" Nora chirped.

"Your boyfriends going to be a lucky guy," Yang continued. As one all of the guys minus Caboose looked over at Ren with a deadpan expression.

"We're not dating," Ren said bluntly although the red in his cheeks told a different story about his feelings.

"Speaking of," Yang continued. "I sure wasn't expecting you to have such a fine ass Blake," Blake looked over at her partner with a glare. "Sun sure is lucky to have that bellabooty all to himself,"

"They won't find your body," The feline faunus scowled.

"Ok moving on from the sexual harassment clearly going on," Percy spoke up in an attempt to change the subject. It was only a matter of time before one of the guys got a nosebleed. "Let's review the pro's and con's of todays events,"

"Ok Pro's," Naruto picked up. "We rescued my partner, thwarted an evil organization, and kicked SOOOOO much ass,"

"And kept our identities a secret," Roxas added.

"Now cons," Weiss continued. "We've made enemies of an evil organization, the Atlas military of which my sister is apart of,"

"Not to mention Cabooses friends," Percy added.

"And if by some chance our identities are ever revealed then we'll have Atlas as well at the organization hunting us down," Jaune spoke as he scratched the top of the chimeras' head softly.

"So all in all this is a luck of the draw thing," Roxas commented.

"Sounds about right," Naruto agreed.

"Just making sure,"

"So how can we be prepared should they discover us?" Ren asked.

"We got that covered," Percy said opening up his scroll. "Grif installed a bug in the system that'll alert us if their systems ever cross reference any of the original rescue teams names,"

"We would have added you guys but we didn't expect you too show up," Roxas said looking at their friends who all nodded in understanding.

"But the original team had members from all of our teams so looking you guys up might alert us inadvertanly," Naruto added. He felt the fox move slightly in the orange hoddie he was wearing.

He seriously had to think about giving it a name.

"But since they most likely discovered Caboose between Vale and Atlas they'll assume he won't go back there," Naruto continued. "So that could be an advantage,"

"Alright which brings us to our next question," Yang nodded. "Why were they after Caboose,"

U(M)PR looked at each other.

"I can explain that,"

And that's when Church appeared.

"Hi my names Church," He greeted to those who didn't know him.

"What the hell is that!" Yang shouted backing away from the small transparent being that suddenly appeared. Her reaction was share with Weiss, Pyrrha, and Ren. Nora actually got closer.

"Oh a ghost!" The hyper girl exclaimed.

"I'm not a ghost," Church reprimanded. "I'm AI,"

"Wait what?" Weiss asked being the first to recover.

"He's an AI," Naruto repeated. "He works with Caboose," The whiskered teen explained.

"And how do you know that?"

"Because we know him," Percy said simply. "We've known about him since the initiation,"

"Imagine him like Cabooses common sense," Roxas added.

"More or less," Church agreed with a nod.

UMPR

(Opening end)

UMPR

"General," Winter greeted as her face appeared on Ironwoods screen.

"Ah Winter I take it you have completed the mission," Ironwood greeted calmly.

"Yes sir we have the area under our control," Winter answered.

"That's good to hear," Ironwod nodded. "Do you see any symbol or anything indicating their affiliation,"

"Negative sir," Winter said. "And what's more all of the data on the computers indicate that it was transferred from here," The specialist indicated. "The only way to gain any information now it too, interrogate the suspects and that could take a while,"

"I see," Ironwood commented. "Well looks like I'm giving a few bonuses," He joked lightly.

"Sir theres one more thing," Winter continued. Ironwood looked up in curiosity. There was an edge in Winter's voice. One that she didn't use for many people. There was Qrow, Doyle, that flirtatious doctor in Mistral and a few others.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Caorlina was here,"

Now that got the generals attention. Ironwood narrowed his eyes.

"I want you back here now," He ordered.

UMPR

"And then you guys showed up and know the rest form there," Church finished. He had just retold the story of Cabooses past that he had told Naruto, Percy, and Roxas back in the motel in Vale allowing the others to take it in.

And from the look on some of there faces it was a lot to take in.

"So that's why Caboose fought gainst us," Blake spoke. "Because whatever they did to him turned into…" She stopped trailed off as she noticed the gunner of UMPR droop his head even more.

"Those bastards," Yang gritted out. Her eyes were flickering from lilac too red rapidly.

He had been vague. They could tell by what he was saying. He didn't give any names, or locations. But they understood why. He was protecting them from whoever did this because they were powerful and well connected.

And suddenly it hit them like a ton of bricks. If they were ever discovered, then they would have the full forces of this person baring down on their necks. Blake looked around at the people she had come to call her friends. The White Fang were one thing. They were only after her and she had contingincies if they tried to go for her friends.

But this was a different organization. One that she couldn't touch. The only one that could be considered protected was Weiss because of her status as an heiress. Jaune maybe. Arc was a pretty infamous name amongst huntsmen and huntresses for their, contribution in the war. Pyrrha like Weiss was a public figure so maybe but she didn't hold her breath. And if push come to shove she could always go back…home. But that would lead to a whole other sleuth of issues. But at least those wouldn't kill her…maybe…her mom's hugs tended to leave people breathless.

"We'll deal with it,"

The group turned to look over at Jaune.

"I know that's what everybodies thinking at some level," He continued. "There's a possible chance that we've painted targets on our backs and we have no idea how wide their influence is," He explained. "And theres a good chance that they have more experienced fighters on their side then the ones we fought today, fighters that out class all of us," He looked over at Pyrha to emphasize the point as she was the known 'Invincible girl'. "But still I won't let them take away my friends," He said as he clenched his fists. "So I'm going to get stronger and stronger so when we run into them or anyone else again," He loked up and everyone could see the conviction in his eyes. "I'll be ready,"

The others stared at the blond squire with various expression. He had really laid the foundation down for them.

"Well we can't let you be the only one," Naruto responded with a smirk. "Besides these bastards took my partner," He growled. "Next time I won't settle for just partially destroying their base and humiliating their soldiers," He finished.

"Or destroying some of their toys," Percy added giving Weiss a knowing smirk. Weiss remained stoic as she looked back but there was the faintest twitch of her lips.

"And let's not forget stealing their stuff," Roxas added looking at the pile of armor in the room and then over at the chimera around Jaunes neck that was soundly sleeping.

"Who knew Jaune was good at speeches," Church spoke causing those who hadn't seen him before to jump once again. Basically everyone minus UMPR, Ruby, and Blake.

"That's gonna take some getting used to," Jaune huffed out looking over at the AI.

"You'll get it down in a couple of days," Roxas reassured.

"And at least you didn't scream like- ANYWAY!" Naruto interrupted glaring at the AI who had started talking. "Since we're done with all that you know what it's time for?"

"What?" Pyrrha asked curiously.

UMPR

"It's time to party!" Naruto cheered as popped open a soda can in the front room.

"We had Weiss rent the place out for the day," Roxas explained. "Said she was having a private party and wanted it here," He finished as he took a swig from his drink.

"Is that alcohol?" Pyrrha asked looking at the bottle in Roxas's hand.

"I wish!" Naruto complained. "Weiss had them take out all alcoholic drinks,"

"What!" Yang shouted angrily. "Weiss you, buzzkill!"

"It's illegal!" Weiss retorted as she took a sip of her sparkling water.

"SO!"

Weiss looked to glare over at her blond teammate.

"Here ya go Ruby," Percy said as he handed her a small bag. Ruby grabbed the bag and looked inside to see a chocklate chip cookies. The young sniper squealed in glee as she began shoving them down her mouth.

"Rhunth Fru!" Ruby muttered through a mouth full.

"Consider it a thanks for having out backs when we were fighting the Meta," Percy answered with a smile. Ruby swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled at him.

"No problem," She answered. "Hopefully next time I'll show my close combat skills and be all like hwaaaa wwtchaaaa," She said as she began making noises and mimicking kung fu stances with her arms. Percy chuckled at the younger girls display and began ruffling her hair much to her shock and somewhat embaressment.

"I look forward to it," He said softly as he continued ruffling her head. Ruby looked up at him and felt her cheeks redden. She gave him a bright smile and began munching on her cookies once again as he continued ruffling her hair.

Jaune watched as the chimera hopped off his shoulder and onto the table and began drinking the water from the bowl Jaune put out for it.

"It's hard to believe that that little guy was the giant rampaging the beast a little earlier," Ren muttered.

"Yeah," Jaune chuckled as he loked at the creature. "I think I'm gonna name him Morpho,"

"Morpho?" Blake asked.

"Yeah," Jaune said. "I've seen him transform into atleast 10 different animals today and something tells me there's more,"

"Feels like an appropriate name," Nora agreed. "Now we have a mascot for team JNPR!" She cheered happily as she picked Morpho up and began snuggling him. Morpho seemed to appreciate the attention and began snuggling back.

"Hopefully this won't end like the last pet," Ren muttered.

"Rest in peace Fluffles," Roxas said bowing his head in respect.

"So you seem to be good with any weapon," Naruto noted looking over at Pyrrha.

"Well a staff is similar to a spear," Pyrrha explained. "So it wasn't too hard to work,"

"But from what Blake told me you didn't fight at all how you normally do," Naruto said. "In fact from the way she described it yoy were merciless," Naruto smirked as he noticed the red tint the four-time champions cheeks. "Who knew our resident champion had a sadistic streak,"

"Weren't you running around with a giant sword destroying everything in sight," Weiss pointed out.

"Yeah but that's normal," Percy said joining in on the conversation. "He's always a berserker on the battlefield,"

"Yeah," Naruto agreed. "It's my thing,"

"Whereas Pyrrha is known as the invincible girl with a heart of gold," Percy continued. "When you think of her you think fierce but elegant. Not pure destruction,"

"Shut up Percy," Pyrrha pouted her cheeks even redder then her hair.

The others laughed at the amazon's action before. Naruto looked over to talk to Caboose but saw that he was gone.

He scanned the room and turned just in time to see him head outside. Naruto watched the door for a brief moment before coming too a conclusion.

"Yo Percy, Roxas," He called.

UMPR

"So they escaped," Ironwood stated looking over at his specialist and her two companions. .

"Yes sir," Winter admitted. "Though we manged to apprehend a plethora of the other attaers," She continued. "So I'm positive that we can get information about what exactly was going on around here,"

Ironwood looked out the window of his office as Winter, Neji, and Penny stood at his desk. They had just finished retelling the story of all that had transpired. He rubbed his eyes in frustration. Carolina and the others had gone underground a few years ago. And when they popped back up they escape. He had ordered all of his soldiers to be on the lookout and had them on every possible watch list.

But he knew it was futile.

More than likely they would be out of Atlas within the next hour if they weren't already.

"What about the white armored soldier?" Ironwood asked. "What happened to him,"

"We don't know," Penny answered speaking up. "We assume he was one of the few to escape,"

That didn't bode well. From the way Penny described her fight with him it was the Meta. Yet another problem resurfacing.

"Sir there's one more thing," Neji said gaining the generals attention.

"What is it my Hyuga?"

"Please call me Neji," Neji corrected. Ironwood nodded in understanding and motioned for the brown haired teen to continue. "During the mission I encountered an opponent who knew my fighting style,"

"Really?" Ironwood asked clearly surprised.

"It was rough and not as precise but it was definelty it," Neji answered smoothly.

"Was he a renegade?"

"Not likely," Neji said. "Not many people know the style outside the clan,"

"But it is possible," Ironwood noted. Neji hesitated but nodded curtly. "And the implications?"

Neji looked the general in the eye. "I think you realize what they are,"

Ironwood didn't speak at first. He thought about it and the implications as well as formulating contingencies for this situation.

None of them were good.

"I have a suggestion sir,"

Ironwood looked up at Neji.

"And what would that be,"

"How would you like to take a trip with me to my home,"

UMPR

"Where the hell is he!"

Grif, Tucker, and Donut backed away from their rampaging leader as Carolina paced around the abandoned warehouse.

"Maybe they circled back to make sure they weren't caught," Grif suggested knowing it was a lie.

"For over an hour!" Carolina countered turning to look over at him.

"Maybe we should tell her," Theta said in Grif's ear.

Oh he was tempted too. But he made a promise.

Plus, he was sure that when Carolina found out he lied to her…

Though that was still a possibility for the future…

Well, shit there were no good options here for him.

Then Carolina's scroll beeped.

Carolina looked opened it quickly.

"Caboose where the hell are you!?" She asked frantically. "Why aren't you at the rendezvous yet?"

"Hey Caorlina," Church answered. "We have something to tell you,"

"Well you can tell me when you get here," Carolina said.

"That's the thing," Church began. "We're not coming back,"

"What?"

"Listen please before you go off," Church pleaded. "We've thought a lot about this," He continued. "And I know it's sudden but it's for the best. We found smething here something we haven't had other than with you guys. And we love you guys. But we've made friends. Allies if you will. And we can't abandon them. Now that doesn't mean we're abandoning you! But we both know who the main target is for them. So we're gonna lay low with these guys. We promise to stay in contact. But we won't tell you where we are. Because we know you'll just come get us. And at this point we can't let you do that. Not yet at least. But we will see you again. That I promise." Carolina could here Church taking a breath. "We love you guys, and if you ever need help don't hesitate to call. We will be there in a heartbeat. We're just tired of running. We found something we haven't had in a long time…And if all goes well yu guys will have it too. Just please trust us," Church paused over the line. "We love you guys,"

Then the transmission ended.

UMPR

Caboose looked down at the scroll as Church stood on his shoulder. Church sighed sadly.

"Are you sure about this,"

Church turned around to see Naruto, Percy and Roxas standing behind them.

"Yes," Caboose answered. "We needed to do this," He hadn't turned around.

"You know if they ever need help we'll go to them," Percy said. "They're your family after all,"

"I know," Caboose answered again. There was a hitch in his voice.

"And we'll do everythi gwe can to give them what we've given you," Roxas added.

Cabooses shoulders were shaking.

"That reminds me," Caboose added. "I need to say something,"

"What is it,"

"Thank you," He sobbed out. "For giving us a home," He said weakly as the tears came down his face. He felt a multitude of arms wrap around him.

"Anytime buddy," Naruto said softly.

And the team stood there as one of their own cried. Comforting him.

For that's what family did.

UMPR

"Hmm interesting," The man in the shadows commented lightly as he looked over the footage of today's events. "It seems the Meta has escaped our grasp once again,"

"Well maybe next you'll wait for actual fighters," Someone drawled. "Instead of leaving it to the extras,"

"You make a fair point," The man responded. "But to be fair I hadn't expected them to receive outside help,"

"True," The other voice agreed. "With the bounty on Carolina's head alone they should have never received help," The voice contemplated. "But then again nothing they do is really surprising,"

"Fair enough," The man responded. "But it makes no difference," He continued. "The Meta will be in our grasp soon enough,"

"Oh," The voice responded lazily. "And what makes you so sure?"

"Because now we know for sure that it is still alive,"

"And Sigma?"

"Oh she'll free herself once again," The man answered. "She's tasted freedom after so long, she's not going to give that up without a fight,"

"Hmm,"

"Speaking of which," The man continued. "What are you doing calling me Felix,"

"Oh well I met up with an acquaintance of mine," The now identified Felix answered.

"And what does that have to do with me,"

"Well not so much you Price as the bossman," Felix explained. "And after hearing what he offers I thought he might be interested,"

"Interesting," Price responded. "Patch him through," He ordered.

"Right-o" Felix answered in a mock salute. A moment later another voice could be heard.

"Hello?"

"Hello this is William Price," Price answered. "And how can I help you,"

"Why hello Price," The new voice greeted. "My name is Roman Torchwick," There was a flicker of recognition in Price's eyes but otherwise no outward reaction. "And I believe the better question is…How I can help you,"

UMPR

Winter is seen looking down with a disapproving look while her friend is seen laughing at the display. While Penny gives a bright smile and the olderman chuckles.

(Ending end)

And done!

Wait…

No I'm not!

(Omake)

Guess who's coming to town

Percy was soundly sleeping before he felt someone shaking him. He opened his eyes groggily to see Ruby and Nora in…elf costumes?

"Percy come on we have to get to the center," Ruby urged as her hat moved with her. The only thing out of place was her red hood and it actually fit with the costume.

Wait center?

Oh right the freshmen had to help out a charity for Christmas and his team along with RWBY, and JNPR decided to do toys for tots. And he had drawn the short straw in being Santa. But they had time right?

He looked over at his clock.

He didn't have time.

"Shit!" He shouted as he got up and haphazardly threw on the costume in Nora's hands. "We gotta go!"

You better watch out

Weiss began singing as the others played the instruments they were assigned too.

You better not cry

She wiped her face pretending to cry as the kids cheered.

You better not pout I'm telling you why

She began waging her finger and shaking her head before pointing forward to explain her point.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Tenten, Yang, Pyrrha, and Blake were supplying backup vocals as Weiss sang.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Percy, Nora and Ruby were running through the streets of Vale as fast as they could to get to the center. Well, Ruby was being slow. She could have used her semblance but didn't want to leave them behind.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

The three continued running down the street while people looked at them and the attire they were wearing. Percy sent glares at the guys giving Nora and Ruby perverted looks prompting them to look away.

He's making a list

Weiss acted like she was writing on a piece of paper as Caboose played on the drums and Ren played the base.

He's checking it twice

Weiss held out 2 fingers as she looked at the kids.

He's gonna find out Who's naughty or nice

Percy, Nora, and Ruby. Turned a corner as they continued running down the street.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

The trio came across their first obstacle in the form of a fence.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Nora got in front and braced herself as she cupped her hands together.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

She easily vaulted Ruby and Percy over the fence and the berserker of JNPR jumped over with ease.

He sees you when you're sleeping

"We'll never make it at this rate!" Percy growled.

He knows when you're awake

Nora looked around until something caught her eye. And her eyes turned into stars.

He knows if you've been bad or good

She veered to her new destination while Ruby and Percy watched in confusion.

So be good for goodness sake

Weiss put and the girl put their hands on their hips and gave knowing looks to all the kids who giggled at the display.

So you better watch out

Jaune looked over at Naruto. "Are you filming this?"

You better not cry

"How else can I hold this against her," Naruto said as he filmed her singing. Jaune and Roxas looked at each other before shrugging.

You better not pout I'm telling you why

Ren and Caboose continued playing on the instruments all the while smiling.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

"Percy won't be here by the song is over we need to stall for time," Roxas said realizing where the song was.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Jaune looked over at the Piano. He knew what he had to do.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

He ran from behind the curtain and on to the stage and slid into the piano seat. Then he began playing.

Instrumental

Weiss looked over in shock as Jaune began playing the piano expertly while Naruto and Roxas watched with dropped jaws from behind the stage.

Meanwhile Percy held the reigns as he steered across the street.

"Seriously where the hell did you find this!" Percy shouted looking over at Nora as he made them turn a hard left dragging the sleigh with them. Apparently Nora's detour consisted of her coming back with a sleigh and 8 reindeer

Nora simply grinned while Ruby giggled madly as they rode in the sleigh in the streets.

Jaune in the meantime played his heart out on the piano.

"Who knew he could play," Naruto muttered. Roxas could only nod in agreement. Naruto looked over at the kids who began arguing and made his way over to them. He said something to them that they agreed with heartily and followed him to a destination.

The kids in girl and boyland

Weiss began singing once again and pointed over at Naruto and Roxas who had taken a group of the kids.

Will have a jubilee

They seemed to be putting something together while the kids helped and cheered the whole time

They're gonna build a toyland All around the Christmas tree

They moved back to show an intricate organization of the unwrapped toys while a train ran around it right under the Christmas Tree.

So you better watch out

Percy looked ahead and nearly screamed. Between them and the Center was a construction site they couldn't get through.

You better not cry

"There!" Ruby shouted gaining his attention. Percy looked at what she was pointing at.

You better not pout

Naruto looked at his scroll to see a message from Percy. 'OPEN THE SKYLIGHT NOW!'

I'm telling you why

Naruto seemed confused but went with it. "Roxas!"

Santa Claus is comin' to town

A moment later The U and R of UMPR where on the roof thanks to Roxas's semblance opening the skylight.

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Percy steered the reigns on the deer to the destination. A makeshift ramp. They ran up the ramp and they lifted off the ground flying through the air.

Santa Claus is comin'

Naruto and Roxas watched in shock as they saw the sleigh fly up at them.

"No way," Roxas muttered.

Santa Claus is comin'

They moved to either side as the reindeer and sleigh flew between them. Only to be grabbed by Nora and Ruby and pulled into the sleigh as it went through the skylight.

Santa Claus is comin

Weiss looked up as she saw a shadow over them and nearly stopped singing as she saw a sleigh fall towards them. On instinct she activated a glyph and created an ice ramp under the sleigh letting it slide to the ground safely and stop right in front of the stage.

Percy stood up slowly in his santa costume and looked at the kids who looked back in awe.

Well tell me what you think about it! Now I recognize this chapter was particularly short but this was a transition chapter. Not much I could write. I'll say it now about 2000 words a made of the opening ending and omake so theres that. It really wasn't to buff the chapter up but just in case somebody says it was now you know by how much. And the title chapter is perfect if you think about it.

Caboose is sayig goodbye to the old crew for now. Don't worry we will see them again. And it seems Roman's expansion attempt isn't done yet. And Ironwood is about to take a trip. I wonder to were. All will be revealed in time. And soon. Like in the next chapter after this one that's POSTED. That's right you guys get 2 chapters this time around. Consider it a treat and apology for my long absence. Check out my other stories as well. All but Just Sing has been updated and that one's next. And Finals are out of the way so I have more time to focus on writing and other projects once again besides work. But that's fine. Well that't all for now. Tell me what you think and see you in the next chapter.
