Team RWBY was 2 days into a 3-day mission to take out a small patch of Grimm messing around with a power station in a town to the north of Vale City, as well as survey a site for a potential expansion of the power station.
Ruby, now a Lieutenant, commanded a whole platoon. As she monitored a computer program tracking Grimm sightings, Jaune walked into the room.
Immediately, everyone stood up and saluted him, including Ruby. Jaune then said, "At ease, everyone." Ruby then went back to her computer. Jaune said to her, "Ruby- Er I mean Lieutenant Rose?"
"Yes, sir?"
"I got a mission for your whole platoon. Order them back to base camp." Jaune then walked over and handed her a folder with the mission details.
"Got it," Ruby quickly replied as she grabbed a radio. She then transmitted, "Base camp to all members of Ruby's Platoon, report back here for a briefing."
Within 10 minutes, all 32 platoon members reported to the base camp's briefing room. Ruby looked a bit nervous, this being her first time addressing a large amount of people in the military.
Yang noticed this as she walked in. She went over to Ruby and said, "C'mon, sis, don't be nervous. Everyone here loves you. You'll be fine." She then patted the redhead on the back.
"Thanks, Yang." Ruby then sighed and went up to the podium.
Weiss thought to herself, "You got this, Ruby."
"Now, I have been assigned a mission by your new Captain, Jaune Arc. First off, I would like to congratulate him for his recent promotion." The crowd then clapped for Jaune, who smiled and gave a thumbs up to Ruby. "Now, our mission is as follows." She then turned on a projector and showed a presentation to the platoon. "We have tracked the problematic grimm to a nest about 5 miles to the east of the power station." She then highlighted the suspected nest with a red pointer. "Our mission is simple, destroy it. Once that is done, we will head back here. Destroy any and all grimm you encounter on the way to and from the nest."
Blake smiled and thought to herself, "Nice job."
"Now, let's move out."
On the way to the nest, Ruby, Weiss, Yang, and Blake all conversed about life. They congratulated Ruby for her promotion to that of a commissioned officer. "You know," Yang said. "That means we gotta call my sis here "ma'am" now."
"I mean," Ruby replied. "Only at official stuff like meetings. I'm not gonna berate and report my own closest best friends and my own sister for just calling me Ruby in the field or off-duty."
Suddenly, Weiss shushed everyone as they all heard a rustling coming from a nearby tree. Everyone locked their eyes at said tree, waiting for something to pop out from it.
As they waited, Ruby's blood began pumping as she tightened her grip on Crescent Rose. She thought to herself, "C'mon, let's go. Let's go. Come out and fight!"
Then, a boarbatusk emerged, charging full speed at the team. Ruby simply aimed Crescent Rose's sniper at the monster and fired 2 shots at it.
As soon as the shots were fired, the boarbatusk fell to the ground and dissipated, having been killed. Weiss said, "Nice job."
Then, they heard several other grimm snarling nearby. Blake said, "The nest must be nearby. Let's kill it!"
Ruby and Yang were the first to run towards the direction of the snarling. Yang said, "Time to kick some ass!"
When they found the nest, they saw 3 beowolfs and a king taijitu all looking at them, surprised. Ruby simply smiled as she changed Crescent Rose into a scythe and jumped up into the sky. She then fell and swung at the head of the king taijitu, cutting it off with ease. As she landed, the beast began to dissipate.
The beowolves all looked at each other and then looked back at the team, wondering whether to run or fight. Yang would end up making that decision for them as she jumped into the sky and landed on the head of one of them. Then, she fired off several shots of Ember Celica, causing the beowulf to scream in pain.
Soon afterwards, Weiss charged at the beowolf, Myrtenaster charged with dust, and slashed the chest of the beowulf, killing it. As it dissipated, Weiss said, "Good job, Yang."
Yang hi-fived Weiss and replied, "You too. Now, let's go get those other beowolves."
"That won't be necessary," Blake said as she ran past them to fight a beowolf trying to run away.
The monster turned around and saw Blake charge at him before she jumped up and landed on his head, sinking the blade of Gambol Shroud deep into his skull. As the beast wailed and shook, trying to throw Blake off, Blake held on and grabbed a grenade on her belt. She said as she held it, "Now where do I put this..."
She then found the perfect spot. She tore the pin off with her teeth, causing her to wince in pain afterwards, and attached the grenade to the wound she had made on the beast. She said, "Farewell, beast!"
Soon after she jumped off with Gambol Shroud, the grenade exploded, killing the beowolf. Then, Weiss shouted, "Behind you!"
Blake looked behind her and found a beowolf about to land on her. She quickly ducked out of the way and used Gambol Shroud to slash open its chest, causing the beowolf to fall to the ground and die seconds later.
As the beowolves evaporated, Ruby wiped her forehead, wiping off sweat and some blood from a cut, and said, "Job well done, team." She then reached for a small medical bag she was also carrying and opened it, grabbing a bandage to wrap around her head.
Weiss patted Blake on the back and said, "Close call, huh?"
"You got that right," Blake said as she retracted Gambol Shroud's blade. "Say, you should use Myrtenaster at fires more often."
"Ehhhh, I haven't really had the time to grab it and bring it with me. Besides, it's not like Myrtenaster is absolutely necessary at a call."

"So," Yang said as Team RWBY and Theresa walked into the fire academy's classroom building. "They passed the motion to build the new expansion?"
"Yep," Theresa replied. "In total, there were 46 yes's and 22 no's. The captain is going to secure the purchase of the abandoned building next door. Nobody's either had a business there or lived there for 3 years."
Meanwhile, Weiss was beaming with excitement. "I'm so glad my sister got elected to Treasurer!" It was easy to tell she was hyped, as the company had just sworn in the new social officers a few hours ago, after having voted them in on Wednesday. "First step, Treasurer. Next step, Lieutenant. Soon, she'll be captain. And then, it'll be my turn hopefully."
Blake replied, "Slow down there. You still got a while to go, Weiss. You know, usually, I'd expect you to tell us that, not us telling you that." She then laughed.
Ruby replied, "You got that right." She then sighed and smiled. "Delwyn invited me to a really important gala coming up. I have no idea what to wear, but I'll make sure it looks good."
Yang replied, "He invited you to a gala?! No way!"
"To be honest, I am kinda worried. Delwyn says he is not really respected amongst his closest advisors due to his age. I don't know how they'll react to me."
Yang scoffed, saying, "Who wouldn't respect the king? I don't give a damn if he's older or younger than me."

As Weiss was cleaning a chainsaw on Truck 201, she heard footsteps around her. She immediately looked up, wondering where they came from.
However, there was no one around her.
As she went back to cleaning the chainsaw, a voice behind her suddenly said, "Long time, no see, Schnee."
Weiss jumped and yelped in fright before quickly turning around. She said, "Pyrrha, you scared me!"
Pyrrha's ghost was back, still deformed due to the injuries she sustained in her fatal car accident.
"Sorry about that," the ghost girl replied. "Now, now, this isn't because I got a bone to pick with you over Jaune." As she said that, she pointed at her right humerus bone, broken in half and sticking out of her arm.
"Ha ha," Weiss sarcastically said. "Real funny."
"Shut up," Pyrrha jokingly replied. "It's not like I'm the master of puns like Yang. Anyways, I came here to warn you of something."
"Warn me?" Weiss seemed confused as she put the chainsaw down on the floor. "Warn me about what?"
"Remember that pedo teacher Jaune helped put away?"
"Yeah, I remember that sick fuck. What about her?"
"She belonged to a powerful business family that controls a big chunk of the construction industry in the city." Pyrrha then sighed. "She was also a member of the Mistralian Mob in Vale through her parents, which has a big grip on the company her family owned, Parthenon Fabrication and Carpentry. My family got on the wrong side of them when they expanded operations into Mistral."
"What happened?"
"My uncle was murdered by them when I was 10," Pyrrha's tone became very sombre. "Because my father was out a lot on business trips, he would often help take care of me. He was like a second father to me. I've never really been the same since he died. It was that incident that made want to become a huntress." She then changed her tone of voice. "I wanted to stop those motherfuckers from killing anyone else!" After a brief pause, Pyrrha began crying. "But... I can't..."
Weiss, growing concerned, said, "Pyrrha, what... You're saying they'll come after me? Pyrrha..."
"I'm dead, Weiss. I came here to warn you that they will attack you." Pyrrha then wiped her eyes and sniffled. "However, you can stop them before that. I want you to take down her family and her company."
"Me? I may be a heiress, and a damn important one at that, but I don't have that much power."
"Not just you, dumbass." Pyrrha pointed at Ruby's gear locker. "Do it with your team. In fact, you could bring along Jaune, Ren, and Nora for the ride too. Together, you are a lot more powerful."
"Fine. Tell me where I can get more info, though."
Pyrrha nodded and reached into her pocket, pulling out a bloodstained piece of paper and a pen. "I was carrying this when the car accident happened." She then began writing down stuff on the piece of paper. Once she was done, she handed it to Weiss. "Do NOT lose this, Weiss. This will give you all the info you could ever want on those bastards. Good luck, and godspeed."
Weiss looked at the note before looking back up. However, by the time she did, Pyrrha was gone. "Here we go."
Then, a call came in. Pagers rang across the station and the siren started up as Weiss ran to her gear locker and stuffed the note in her locker before taking her shoes off and untying her hair. As several other firefighters ran into the bay room from the rec room and a few others slid down the fire pole from the second floor, Weiss put her high boots on and tucked her hair into her turnout coat. Once she strapped in her helmet, she quickly ran to Truck 201 and jumped into the driver's seat.
Her father Hermann jumped into the officer's seat as Weiss started the truck up and they waited for more firefighters to show up at the station. He said, "You got the address, right?"
"Of course, dad. When do I ever forget the address of a call?"
"Well, there was that one time for the really fat guy stuck in a bathtub in 2019..."
"That was one time," Weiss replied. "One time. Besides, it's not like it was a really urgent call."
As the ambulance pulled out first, Car 5 sped past the station, lights blazing and siren blaring. After they passed, several firefighters ran across the street into the station.
As Hermann put on his SCBA in the officer's seat, he asked, "Anyone on scene yet?"
"Nope," Weiss said. "Last I heard, Fire Alarm told us the caller was trapped in her apartment, and a second call was coming in for smoke showing from the outside, so it's probably gonna be a Code 99 eventually."
"Alrighty then, looks like we'll be going to work."
