A/N Here we go again, and if you're wonder about the other thing I'm working that doesn't have a title yet, its going fine just trying to figure out how to get where I want it to be right now.

Qrow landed on a roof not far from the old metro entrance to the city and watched as White Fang grunts moved huge containers of dust with Atlas mechs' and worked on the rails

"Will, get some guys and get that bomb onto the train." one of the foremen shouted

"Yes sir." Will responded and ran off to get some guys, Qrow looked down at the bomb, it was obviously a makeshift explosive it had a bit of professionalism to it but all in all it was kinda crap, flapping his wings he flew off to check the perimeter they had set

(o)

"So... whats the plan?" Ruby asked as they made their way down the fire escape which groaned with each movement of the six

"We'll we get to the bottom here, then wait for Qrow to report back with the information on their fortifications, then myself, Qrow, and Yang attack their fortifications while you, Akame, Weiss, and Blake sneak behind their lines and attack from there too, that will destroy their defenses and cause panic if we move fast enough." Esdeath explained as her footing creaked

"Right, so we we divide up the teams in a way that will allow us to move as quickly as possible right?" Weiss asked as she dodged a hole in her path

"No, me Qrow and Yang are good at making a lot of noise when needed, I'm sending Akame with you all so just in case we get slogged down she can run ahead and kill their leader, and put a stop to whatever their doing." Esdeath corrected as they moved

"I should mention I don't think were all completely comfortable killing yet." Blake added causing Esdeath slight pause

"I've hear that the first time is difficult for some people, All you have to do is remember why you fight and that should be more than enough to guide your blade." Akame said earning the attention of everyone even Esdeath "I fight for a world that will never have to know violence, my unobtainable dream." Akame added

Esdeath caught onto what she was doing and added her two cents "I fight to prove that the strong are born from a world of war, my obtainable dream" Esdeath said glaring at Akame who greeted it in kind

"I want to protect everyone I care about, and to end everyone who would dare to hurt them... my hopeful dream? Did I do that right?" Ruby said earning looks from everyone as she awkwardly scratched her head

"The rest of you? What do you fight for?" Akame asked turning to them

"I fight to prove that my father isn't what a Schnee is." Weiss answered her voice holding her conviction

"Oh how nice Weiss, Jacques has tried to get me to be his personal attack dog multiple times, sadly for him he doesn't have the same pull that the minister had, so I let him know just how fruitless his efforts were in the best way possible..." Esdeath happily reminisced

"What did you do?" Weiss asked fearing her answer Esdeath smiled and spoke in feigned sadness "I froze his entire office space and servers causing him to lose out all the profit that he could have made in the amount of time it was frozen... so three months."

"So you literally froze his accounts." Yang asked with a genuine laugh, her expression changing from a glare for the first time since they got there

"Yes I did, whats so funny about that?" Esdeath asked as she raised an eyebrow

"Aw come on you froze his accounts, how do you not find that funny!?" Yang asked as she began to laugh

"Hey, I'm back." Qrows voice came as he jumped off a bit of debris and began towards them

"What did you find Qrow?" Esdeath asked as he walked up to them

"They got a very weak perimeter and are loading makeshift explosives onto a train, heading towards Vale, given that's the only place the tracks link up to." Qrow explained as he leaned on a broke light post

"That's strange, what fortifications do they have for their perimeter?" Esdeath asked as she crossed her arms

"A chain link fence, and one guard per gate." Qrow answered again causing Esdeath to let out a laugh

"Are you kidding? That's nothing. Did you find any weak link in their... defenses?... besides the whole thing." Esdeath asked again trying to hold back her laughter

"There's a collapsed building that they assume is impassable so they don't have patrols going through it, all you need is nimble footing and a good jump to get through there unnoticed but one issue I have found are the Atlesian paladins they got movin' around." Qrow answered again then turned to everyone but Esdeath and Akame "If you cant cut through metal raise you hands." Weiss and Yang raised their hands, Blake spoke

"I can cut though metal but I cant cut deep enough to cause any major damage."

"That's fine, just aim for the joints and you'll take'em down." Qrow advised then turned back to Esdeath "So, whats the plan?"

"Me, you, and Yang, attack the front, instead of doing a quick pincer maneuver, while were making noise, Akame will attack at their leader, and the rest of team RWBY will wait for their forces to come at us with enough time well encircle them and crush their resistance." Esdeath clarified "If the train does start moving, I want Qrow and Akame to go hop on the train and stop it by any means necessary." Esdeath clarified getting nods from Qrow and Akame "Good, now lets move."

(o)

"Hey?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you ever wonder why we're-" A long shard of ice ended the conversation between the two guards ending both of their lives

"I thought you said that there would only be one." Esdeath shot

"Don't look at me, maybe they were having a pointless conversation about their purpose in the universe." Qrow shot back as he drew harbinger and turned to Yang "You should take down the gate, it'd be much louder that way."

Yang tore her eyes from the the two soldiers and nodded, Qrow placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke

"I get it kid, hold it in until the missions over, then let it out." Qrow said Yang quickly nodded and pushed down her disgust and ran over to the gate

"Do you really think shes prepared for this?" Esdeath whispered to him

"No, she doesn't have a convection as strong as Ruby, Akame, you, or me but I think she can pull through." Qrow whispered back then after a few moments he whispered again "This might hurt her, but it wont break her." Esdeath nodded then spoke

"Lets get moving then."

Esdeath began to walk towards the now broken open gate alongside Qrow, Yang was still staring at the corpse but was broken from it by Qrow pulling her along

"I heard a noise from over there, it might be Grimm get the mechs out!" A voice shouted

"Good work Yang, keep making all that noise and we'll have an army charging us in no time." Esdeath complemented as she drew her blade

"Umm... can we really handle that?" Yang asked as she began to get cold feet

"Don't worry Yang, it took a larger force than this, plus me, Raven, and Najenda to kill Esdeath, last time. That was after me and Raven wore her down too, lets just say the odds are tipped against them right now." Qrow casually waved off as he drew Harbinger

"That actually makes me more scared of her than these guys." Yang commented as she readied Ember Celica

"Welcome to the club." Qrow agreed as two paladins turned the corner quickly followed by a large group of White Fang grunts

(o)

Akame watched as Qrow and Esdeath began to tear apart the forces sent at them calling for more and more soldiers to come, the plan was moving along as Esdeath had predicted, a crackle from a speaker system drew everyone's attention

"Ladies and gentlemen, our cargo is loaded and we're leaving early. Get to your places now or be left behind!" Romans voice came from the speaker

"Its time for me to move, good luck." Akame quickly said to RWB and took off towards the train soon joined by Qrow

"Hey kid, inside the train or on top?" Qrow asked as they ran

"Both would be preferred, but it would be better if we get to the front quickly, stop the train then made our way towards the back." Akame answered earning a nod from Qrow as they leapt onto the back of the train and pulled themselves onto it

"Right, Vale is roughly ten-ish minutes from here by train, so we should hurry." Qrow said and leapt up and grabbed onto the roof and swung back forcing the door off the hinges, Akame quickly entered the back compartment of the train and found it empty apart from a bomb at the center

"Bomb, next compartment." Akame said and rushed to the next door knocking it open only to find the same situation as the last, Qrow ran to the next door, same thing.

"Akame, lets move up top, I don't think there are bombs here for no reason." Qrow said as he climbed up top just as an explosion could be heard behind them, turning around he saw the last compartment was released and exploded, Akame saw the same with the car right behind the one they were on

"They must be planing to bomb the city." Akame predicted as she turned towards the front of the train "Qrow, contact."

Turning around Qrow transformed Harbinger "I got them, you head up to the front. No one here could pose much of a threat to you." Qrow then vanished into thin air but the screams of the people he was slaughtering were a good indication of where he went, rushing forward Akame dived over one of his strikes and ran through a gap in the lines that formed to try and kill Qrow, once she stopped the train she would have no problem coming back and helping Qrow

(o)

running over compartment after compartment she was nearing the front, diving down and rolling through a door she was greeted by a man holding a large chainsaw blade

"He said someone might make it this far." the man growled "Too bad it was only a child." he then started the blade and began to walking towards Akame who rushed towards him diving back and forth from one side of the train to the other, he swung trying to cover the whole area of where he had seen her just as she planed, barely diving above the strike she sliced at his throat breaking his aura, landing she sliced downward leaving a deep cut along his entire body, a second later he collapsed, rushing to the next compartment she was greeted by two people, Roman Torchwick and his (Delicious looking) assistant

"Well if it isn't my favorite assassin, some how I knew you'd be here." Roman commented lightly, but he clearly wasn't taking her as lightly, his stance was completely on the defensive, but his assistant was prepared to attack "You know, after our first meeting you really gave me a shock, I didn't know anyone could break aura in a single hit, but I did know that you're a cold blooded one. You got a look like Neo here."

Akame knew he was staling for time so she rushed forward and attacked, her strike was blocked by Roman and countered by Neo, Akame dodged the counter and rolled away from them trying to find an opening, she saw none. Carefully moving around them she moved like a wolf stalking it prey, lunging forward her attack was blocked by Neo and countered by Roman, but this time Akame countered Romans' strike and kicked Neo away from her, dropping down in between the two, placed her in a risky spot but all she need to do was stop the train, breaking the weapon lock she and Roman were in she dived at the breaks only to instinctual block a strike from Neo sending her into the wall of the train dropping her behind a few boxes and chairs

"Good timing Neo." Roman complemented but was tackled out of the way of an Aura arc that cut a hole in the wall of the compartment, Akame dived from cover again towards the controls, only for Neo to block her path again and open an umbrella which Murasame easily stabbed through but got stuck in

"Whats up?" Roman asked as he stood "stuck?"

Akame yanked on Murasame as hard as she could pulling it free from the umbrella and kicked at Neos' knee only for the strike to be blocked jumping back she barely dodged a short blade that Neo freed from the umbrellas handle and swung at her throat, the heterochromic girl winked at Akame who stared blankly at the girl as they separated

"Huh... it seem Neo has taken a liking to you..." Roman said as he raised his cane "Ah... to be young and in love." he snarked as he pulled the trigger

Akame jumped and kicked off the wall flying over Neo and slashing at her it was blocked by her blade this time, each attack was blocked and parried nearly perfectly, but the difference between the two was weapon proficiency, Akame knew Murasame like it was herself, Neo knew her blade like it was a tool, she clearly wasn't used to using it. Spinning to the right of Neo, Akame swung widely Neo took advantage of that, but what she didn't notice was the aura arc Akame sent at Roman who was sent sprawled just as he fired a round sending it into the ceiling lights causing a large smoke screen, as the smoke cleared Neo hear a click and felt the whole train jerk causing her to fall, she then heard a metallic snap

"Neo? What happened?" Romans' voice came from somewhere behind her, standing she walked to the door of the train and opened it and looked around, yep, they had slowed to a stop. Quickly jogging over to the controls she looked for a way to get it moving again but found that the object marked 'brakes' was currently snapped off and no where to be seen "I'm assuming this didn't work as well as we were hoping?" Roman asked now he was standing and walked up next to her "Gods... fuck..." Neo pat him on the back

"Thanks, but how are we gonna get out of here? There's a dead end one way and a horde of Grimm and huntsmen the other." Neo shrugged in response

"I hate having to do all the talking, lets hope their too busy dealing with Grimm and those animals to deal with us then, now then lets make our silent get away."

"No." Akames voice came as she rested Murasame on his neck, her eyes were on Neo though

"Aw come on, you already thwarted my plans what more do you want?" Roman asked as he raised his hands in surrender

"Who's pulling the strings? I know you're a criminal but you're a thieve your kind don't normally kill, that's why you have Neo. Correct?" Akame asked her reasoning was valid too

"'course we don't kill, but what makes you think someone else is telling me what to do?" Roman retorted with a smug tone

"What profit is there in working with the White Fang just to cause chaos in the city? Why would you steal exclusively dust when just a few months ago you turned a huge profit from stealing from the SDC representative here in Vale? Why would someone as slippery as you be the public face for these attacks? It's because you're covering for someone else." Akame reasoned causing Roman to let out a whistle

"I thought no one caught onto the SDC heist, ain't you smart." Roman complemented "But you're wrong, I am the one in charge of this little operation."

"I said who's pulling the strings, not who was in charge here." Akame shot moving the blade closer to his throat, Neo rolled her eyes then pointed at Roman then held a finger up to her mouth, in other words he wasn't going to talk, Akame sighed just as she heard someone land behind her

"Nice work kid." Qrows' voice came "Everyone else are on their way, lets get these two restrained, then get out of here." Qrow went to grab Neo but received a swift kick to the crotch causing him to fall to his knees, Roman winced at that

"Careful Qrow, shes a bit hard to get under control, especially when its authority figures." Roman said his voice in a tone of shared pain, Qrow growled in pain

"I can handle her if you take Roman." Akame offered as she watched Qrow suffer a bit

"Don't worry Qrow, I don't think I could do that to ya." Roman said as Akame took Murasame from his throat and Qrow grabbed his wrists

Neo quickly stepped very close to Akame and sniffed the girl but quickly received the kashira of Murasame in the gut causing her to stumble back and smile at the girl, she then turned around and put her hands behind her back waiting for Akame to restrain her, Akame was very confused by her act

"When Neo likes someone she tends to get a bit... touchy she'll push boundaries as far as they can go and then some just to see how much of a rise she can get out of you. That's how it is with me at least, but I think her interest is a bit deep than just friendship." Roman explained calmly as Qrow zip tied his hands, then held one out to Akame

"They don't cost much and are pretty damn strong, you should get yourself a few." Qrow explained as she took it and locked in Neos' wrists, with great difficult due to Neo pressing herself against Akame who contentiously had to keep holding the woman still

(o)

"Good work you two, I knew I made the right choice by sending you." Esdeath happily said, she and Ruby seemed like the only ones to be in any state of happiness, everyone else looked haunted

"Thanks, but we should get back to Vale now. I think they need it." Qrow said and gestured to WBY, Weiss was looking at her hands, Blake hadn't blinked since they got there, and Yang was doing both

"Come on guys, lets get moving, its... its a long walk." Ruby sighed as she looked behind herself towards mountain Glenn

"I had an idea about that, come on, the metro might be sealed off but the maintenance access should still be open." Esdeath said earning a sigh of relief from Ruby

"Than the gods, I didn't want to walk that whole way again." Ruby happily said as she and Esdeath began towards the maintenance hallway

"Aww, that's a good escape route! Why didn't I think of that?!" Roman said looking over at the two as they busted the door down and vanished

"Uncle Qrow?" Yang asked, she sounded very distracted

"Yeah kid?" Qrow asked as he looked to her

"How do you deal with... with that?" Yang asked and gestured behind her, Blake and Weiss also looked at him for an answer too

"Me and Akame got the same answers for you, I never had an issue with killing. It just felt natural, I don't know if it was the tribe or genetics, but I've never worried 'bout death unless it was directly related to me. You'll wanna talk to Tai if you want how a normal person dealt with it." Qrow shot down causing her expression to drop a bit but they all quickly chased after Ruby and Esdeath

"Qrow help!" Akame called Qrow quickly turned to see Neo straddling Akame who was trying to push Neo off of her, Qrow looked at Neo then to Roman accusingly

"What? I don't control her!" Roman deflected to someone else

"The who does!?" Qrow asked as they began to move towards the maintenance hallway

"It depends on who wears the pants and from what their wearing I'd say its Neo!" Roman joked causing Neo to silently laugh

"I don't wanna deal with this. Ice cream chick get off my kid." Qrow said in a tired tone causing Both Neo and Roman to blink in surprise

"Wait that's your kid! What have you been teaching her?" Roman asked in surprise as Neo shook her head 'no'

"Nothing, mostly." Qrow answered as he pushed Roman along, Akame was forced to carry Neo quickly following behind them

(o)

"So... Esdeath?" Ruby asked as they made their way up the dark maintenance hallway which to Rubys surprise became a staircase

"Yeah?" Esdeath answered as they went

"I know we kinda missed out on our date today... so... would you... I don't know... wanna go on a date tomorrow?" Ruby awkwardly asked as she moved but bumped into something in front of her, she assumed it was Esdeath

"What do you mean? This was our date." Esdeath said casually causing Ruby to blink in surprise

"It what..."

"This was our date, I thought you knew that." Esdeath repeated causing Ruby no less surprise

"Okay... so... um... nope... I cant think of anything." Ruby struggled to speak

"DO YOU GUYS MIND GIVING US SOME LIGHT DOWN THIS WAY?!" Qrows voice came from the bottom of the stairs

"YEAH, WE SENT BLAKE TO LOOK FOR THE SWITCH, JUST DRAG THEM UP HERE." Esdeath shouted back down before returning her attention to Ruby her voice had worry in it this time "Did you not have fun on our date?"

"No! I mean yes, I did! But... well... I mean my team did get psychological trauma so that's a bit of an issue but I personally had a blast, I just figured our date would have been a bit more... you know... personal." Ruby explained as the lights came on she saw Esdeath nodding slowly

"Would you rather if we went on a hunt alone?" Esdeath asked calmly, Rubys head was immediately filled with the thoughts of the two alone in the middle of Grimm territory doing... less than innocent things, this caused Ruby to turn very very red and she began to wish she could return to the pitch black from a few moments ago, Esdeath opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Qrow

"Hey you four... thanks for the help with these two." Qrow snarked tiredly as he dragged Roman up the finally few stairs

"I'm just saying if shes carrying Neo it would only be fair if you cared me." Roman said casually as he was limply dragged up to the platform they were all on

"I'm not going to carry you." Qrow growled at Roman

"Yeah but Akame didn't wanna carry Neo but shes not complaining about it." Roman reasoned

"Yeah, that's probably because I've never heard Akame complain about anything... Ever." Qrow shot down

"Its only fair if were all equal." Roman quietly said feigning sadness

"Shut up, you fuckin' commie." Qrow growled

"Language!" Ruby called

"I'll pay for commie." Qrow haggled

"I don't know what that means, but I guess I'll take it." Ruby agreed as she, Esdeath, Yang, and Weiss stood to keep moving

(o)

Nearing the surface Akame began to get tired and sat down for a few moments staring at Neo who was happily sitting in Akames' lap, while Akame hated being in such a compromising position it made Neo docile so it mattered very little, until she felt their roles very quickly reverse, some how Neo had gotten free from her restrains and reversed them onto Akame and smiled happily at the girl then tapped her wrist and held up two fingers... charades... she wanted to do charades...

"How did you-" Akame began to calmly ask knowing she could easily free herself and the only weapon she hand that could be seen was Murasame and it would kill the girl if she drew it, but she stopped when Neo tired to cover her mouth and tried to bite down on her fingers which she quickly moved out of reach, Neo then repeated the action of tapping her wrist and holding up two fingers... charades it is then, Akame sighed and nodded, Neo happily bounced a few times causing Akame a bit of discomfort, Neo quickly stopped and held her fist up to her ear holding her thumb and pinkie fingers, Akame was completely lost.

"I have no idea what that means." Akame said blankly causing Neo to pout a bit then she reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper then searched her body for a writing utensil found none then turned her gaze to Akame with a salacious look in her eyes

Akame sensed her intent rather quickly and spoke calmly as ever "My coats left breast pocket." Neo once again pouted and reached into said pocket and took out a pen then wrote something on one side of the paper then flipped it over and wrote something else, put the pen back into Akames' coat pocket and slipped the piece of paper into Akames' hands nearly getting her fingers broken in the process.

Neo then stood for a few seconds seeming to debate something she then looked to the doorway above them gave a silent sigh, winked, and then shattered into a million pieces that quickly vanished, leaving Akame sitting confused, confusion quickly turned to rage, she had let a criminal get away, she let a wanted criminal get away, she let her get away because she didn't want to deal with a difficult prisoner, quickly snapping the zip tie Akame slammed her fist into the wall next to her causing massive cracks to form along it circling around the steps and ceiling a few seconds afterwards the lower levels of the stairs collapsed in on itself, Akame stood and began up the stairs in shame, fearing Qrows' judgment as she walked up the stairs, quietly nursing her now broken hand

(o)

Exiting the maintenance stairway she was quickly seen by Qrow who quickly ran up to her

"Kid you alright? You didn't come up so we started to get concerned-" Qrow began but was cut off by Esdeath

"He was the only one who was actually concerned, so... wheres Neo?" Esdeath asked casually causing Akame to look away from her in shame

"Ha! Neo got away, you owe me fifty bucks Qrow!" Roman laughed out causing Qrow to sigh

"Dammit, I should just give up betting in general." Qrow groaned as he reached for his wallet

"Actually I owe you fifty bucks Qrow, I bet that Akame would have killed both of them." Esdeath said holding fifty Lien out to him which he took

"WHY WERE YOU GUYS BETTING ON THIS!?" Ruby shouted in outrage

"Criminals and Huntsman have a unique relationship, think of it kind like an unspoken game, most huntsman get bigger and easier rewards for killing Grimm, so hunting someone like Torchwick is more to keep you mission ready than anything else, but obviously it wouldn't make much sense if you let people like murders go, so Roman is a bit of a special case." Qrow explained causing Akame all amounts of confusion

"He's not completely wrong, he's caught me like... what does this make it, eight?" Roman said earning Qrow multiple glares, Qrow just shrugged

"Yeah, but this time its not; right place right time. You've actually interfered with my work so you're gonna have to spend some quality time in jail." Qrow shot causing Roman to sigh as Esdeath began to drag him off quickly followed by RWBY. Akame opened her not broken fist and look at the sheet of paper apart from being crumbled it had what looked to be a scroll number on it, flipping it over to see what Neo had written 'Call me' Akame still didn't know how to feel about this

"Akame's got a girlfriend." Qrow teased causing her to blush

"No, I don't. I don't even know her." Akame quickly waved off along with her blush

"Well, shes given to a way to get to know her, just remember that criminals are only really a problem when they interrupt our work, or causing major panic, that's why you don't normally see many reports of criminal activity on the news, and that's why we went after Roman. So you know, have fun with your little girlfriend and lay down some ground rules about what is and isn't allowed, these 'games' aren't really fun if everyone isn't fully participating." Qrow explained earning a nod from Akame

"Shouldn't you be concerned about the fact that crime isn't being stopped by huntsman though?" Akame asked clearly she began to worry that huntsman were corrupt.

"Its mainly because of the power vacuum it leaves, huntsman are great trackers so if we did arrest all the criminals then all the big fish would get caught, but big guys like Roman keep the little guys under thumb, now that he's gone someone bigger may take his place or crime will massively skyrocket. Its just easier to let him cause a few scenes here and there as opposed to letting over half a dozen people causing tons of scenes all at once." Qrow explained, it made some sense to Akame, they provided benefits other than personally ones, it was kind of like a form of nemesis system but on a far larger scale

"Now then, I think I owe you lunch." Qrow said and began to walk away quickly followed by Akame who was still angry at herself for letting Neo get away

A/N And we reach the end, no breach because Akame is faster and stronger than all of team RWBY combined. Onto the important part; Neo... I made her character up on a whim, she seems to be a very playful person but also tries to get in peoples heads, something she knows she cant do with Akame, thus her interest. I don't really know what I wanna do with that yet but I will say I made it so I have something to fill the next few chapters somewhat interesting.
