Hey guys, just here to warn you that Friday is almost here, so read this and enjoy it as much as you can. Also, BTW, I'm gonna end this one a little short, just so you know. Anyway, Enjoy!

Sasuke found himself in a rather….odd situation

Ruby and Yang practically forced him to take a day off, and here he was now, at a table on a balcony that looked over Atlas, and Winter, Weiss, Itachi, team JNR, and Oscar were there as well

Ruby and Yang threatened to annoy him for an entre week if he didn't take time off, and they would get Nora to help them as well, and that was a hell that Sasuke did not want to contend with.

So now here they were, having a dinner on a balcony while the orange sun set over the horizon

Winter handed a wine glass to Itachi and held up a bottle, and asked, "Champagne?"

Itachi then asked, "What's Champagne?"

Winter then answered, "It's a type of drink that is meant only for grown people."

Itachi nodded, then poured himself some Champagne, and took a sip

Winter looked at Itachi expectantly

Itachi then said, "It's like Sake, but even better."

Weiss rolled her eyes and Winter smiled

Sasuke thought about leaving behind a Shadow Clone and sneaking off to find a very large body of water to test a new Water Jutsu he thought of using Sage Art Chakra.

It was where he used a much more powerful version of the Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu)

However, if he got caught, he was gonna have to suffer at the hands of Ruby, Yang, and Nora

Sasuke looked at Weiss, who had been looking rather bored

Sasuke got up, and said, "I am going to use the restroom."

Yang gave him a 'sus' look, when Weiss said, "Don't worry Yang, I'm gonna make sure he doesn't go."

Sasuke and Weiss walked inside before Weiss said, "Alright, if you're gonna sneak off, do it now."

Sasuke then asked, "Thank you. Wait, what about you?"

Weiss then replied, "I would go with you, to get away for a moment and have some time to myself, but I can't make a Shadow Clone like you."

Sasuke nodded, then crossed his fingers, and two shadow clones formed behind him

One of the clones then made a hand sign before bursting in a plume of smoke, and once the smoke cleared, a perfect copy of Weiss appeared

It was a very common jutsu in Sasuke's world, but apparently, this was mind-boggling to Weiss

Sasuke gestured to his clone and Weiss's copy, and they went back out to the balcony

Sasuke then said, "There, you are free. I will alert you when they will start to get to the point where they will dissipate."

Weiss then replied in awe, "Sasuke…you didn't…I-I mean that didn't have to do that."

Sasuke just responded blatantly, "But I did."

Weiss looked appreciatively at Sasuke, and said, "Thank you."

Sasuke was about to walk away when Weiss grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Wait! Is it okay if I come with you!?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow

Weiss then said, "I promise, I won't be a burden."

Sasuke gave a deadpan look before he nodded, and Weiss walked alongside him as they left the Academy

They both walked in silence side-by-side before Weiss broke the silence

"Sasuke, if you had the chance to change some of your decisions, would you have?"

Sasuke looked at Weiss

Weiss stammered, "I-I-I'm just asking! Just plain curiosity!"

Sasuke gave her a hard look before he turned back to looking forward

"Yes, I would've changed at least a few of my decisions," Sasuke replied

Weiss then asked, "Sasuke, do, uh, do you-"

Sasuke cut her off

"What's that?" Sasuke asked

He heard a….vibrating sound

He looked down and into the pocket that was inside his cloak, and he could see a small, rectangular object vibrating

"What in the hell?" Sasuke said

Weiss gave him a 'are you kidding me' look, then asked, "That's your scroll, idiot. Someone's calling."

Sasuke took it out, and managed to answer the call all the while cursing and saying things like "Damn It," and "Blast this confounded contraption."

Earlier that day Yang, Blake, and Ruby found out he didn't have a scroll, so they got him one, however, he just put it in his pocket and forgot about it

Sasuke picked up and asked, "Who is it?"

"SASUKE!," Yang yelled on the other end, "YOU HAD BETTER GET THE HELL BACK HERE NOW!"

Uh oh

Looks like his clones went poof

The next day

"Amity will take place in an abandoned dust mine, but it's infested with Grimm. However, military Atlas Huntsman are already clearing it out, however, a Geist had managed to evade and take several lives. When we increased our numbers, it happened to have enough sense to go back into the mine, which means that it's smart, and very dangerous. Our target is the Geist, and we have to take it down without damaging the mine too much," Clover said

Sasuke then asked, "What happened to the mine?"

Clover replied, "There was an accident, and many lives were lost."

Blake asked, "Who did the mine formerly belong to?"

Clover then answered, "The Schnee Dust Company."

Weiss had a embarrassed look

Team RWBY and JNR had all gotten new armor, and upgraded weapons once again, and some of them even decided to change their hair

Jaune, Ruby, and Blake cut theirs shorter, Weiss braided hers back, while the rest kept their hair the same

Clover then said, "Alright everyone, it's time to hustle, let's go."

/

Sasuke looked down to the ground far below

"That's would be considered a long drop for some," Sasuke said as he thought about Jaune

Qrow then said, "Alright, lets go."

Clover then turned around and said, "So you guys on the other side."

Then he jumped off backwards before giving off a salut

Show-off

Sasuke jumped off, and dived down towards the ground, and he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath

Then he felt the ground coming closer, and he channeled chakra into his feet, flipped, and landed on both of his feet, the ground crunching as he landed with a THOM!

Sasuke then felt Clover and Qrow land behind him, and Sasuke said, "Slowpokes."

Qrow chuckled

Sasuke activated his Sharingan, and said, "Alright, lead the way, Clover."

As they walked through the dust mine, Sasuke analyzed each and every single pathway, every detail, every stone, carve, and pattern.

Qrow then asked, "Sightseeing kid?"

Sasuke then said, "It's easy to get lost here. This place is like a labyrinth. It would be good to learn its pathways."

Qrow then chuckled, "Thinking ahead, eh kid?"

Sasuke then frowned, and said, "I'm not a regular child."

"Hey, I meant no offense," Qrow said

Sasuke looked forward

"Any signs?" Sasuke asked

Clover shook his head, "Not yet."

Sasuke sighed

/

Itachi looked at the team he was paired up with

JNR looked at him expectantly as Elm, a big women with a hammer, and Drew, another Ace Ops teammate walked through the passageways of the mine

Itachi looked at JNR and said, "Just follow their lead."

Jaune groaned, "Well, that didn't help at all."

Nora then said, "Was that the only advice you have?"

Itachi replied, "Yes, that was all."

Elm then said, "Hey, kids, come on, pick up the pace!"

Itachi began to walk a little faster wehn Drew said, "We've got contact!"

Itachi dashed in front of them to see multiple Centipede-like Grimm coming out of the ground

"Is it just me, or are the Grimm that Salem comes up with get more disgusting as they evolve?" Itachi asked himself

Itachi then made multiple hand signs before saying, "Katon: Housenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Flower Jutsu!)"

Itachi shot forward multiple small fireballs that each exploded on contact, however, he precisely aimed each one with extreme precision and accuracy to where they would immediately destroy the Grimm, but not set off any nearby Dust

The Centipede's were all immediately fried, and now were vaporizing into dust

Drew then said, "Well, that was a rather head-on approach."

Itachi replied, "I like to end weak opponents quickly when I am in a hurry."

Drew nodded his head and said, "Understandable."

/

Sasuke saw the black, ghost-like Grimm try to get away from them.

Sasuke had heard that Geist were weak by themselves, but if they managed to possess some kind of material to protect themselves, they could be a force to be reckoned with

Sasuke rushed after it as he left Qrow and Clover in the dust

However, the ghost-like Grimm went into a giant hunk of ice, and began to form

Sasuke analyzed The Geist with his Sharingan

Qrow then said, "Look out!"

Sasuke looked up, and saw a metal beam about to fall on him

Sasuke quicker than lightning, uncovered his Rinnegan, and using his extra gift, the Amenotejikara to switch places with the beam, and almost immediately, he was in the air in front of the forming Geist

Sasuke did a Ax-kick to its face, and it went crunching through the floor

Sasuke landed back on the ground

"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed

Sasuke then turned to Clover and said, "Alert the others, I'll keep it in one spot."

He then jumped down into the hole

/

Ruby ran after Yang, all the while fighting through Grimm

Yang's armored arm raised up to defend against a centipedes bite, but it's jaws snapped as soon as it bit down on Yang's armored arm

Yang quickly inspected where the Centipede bit

Not even a scratch, and she barely felt the force of that bite, and apparently these things can easily chomp your arm in half. Man, was she gonna love this thing.

Yang cocked back her arm, and put the settings to where it would multiply it by 2

Yang's eyes turned red, and her hair erupted in a golden fire, and she let out a yell of effort as she punched the Centipede in its midsection. It went flying backward like a ragdoll, and any Grimm that was behind it was easily mowed down, and just the force of getting hit by the flying Grimm was enough to kill them.

However, they didn't have any time to dodge because Marrow snapped his fingers, and said, "Stay!"

Suddenly, any Grimm behind the flying Centipede slowed down like they were in slow-motion or stopped moving at all, and they were all killed by Yang's flying Centipede

Yang looked at the armored arm and said, "I'm gonna love this thing!"

Marrow had basically winced when he saw how hard she hit that Grimm. Luckily it was a Grimm and not a person, or else they probably would have been far beyond dead.

They then ran into what seemed like the center of the mountain

They saw Sasuke standing there, the Geist in front of him as it roared

"What the heck is Sasuke doing!?" Hare asked

Yang put out her hand and said, "This is the part where he kicks ass."

/

Sasuke stretched his neck and cracked his fists

"Let's see how fierce you really are."

The Geist had added Dust to itself, so Sasuke had to be careful where he hit, and had to be wary of any falling dust crystals

Sasuke crossed his fingers, and said, "Taju-Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)"

8 clones appeared, which was Sasuke's max limit

The clones then dashed around the room looking for an opening

Sasuke jumped forward and smashed his fist into the Geist's Grimm-like skull, and it went stumbling back

Suddenly, two clones grabbed the right arm of the Geist, and pulled, and a black, arm underneath that held the hunk of ice together showed

Another clone slashed the arm off

4 of his clones then went rushing around the room catching any falling dust crystals

Sasuke then drew his Kusanagi, and rushed forward, and slashed the Geist's heel with accuracy and precision, and the Geist fell onto it's knees

Sasuke then jumped up and ran up the wall, then launched off and land on the back of the Geist

The clones then made multiple hand signs before saying, "Raiton: Denki no Netto (Lighting Style: Electric Net)"

It was a jutsu that Sasuke had created back in the simulation training

Suddenly the clones each made a rope of Electricity, and they flung it to another clone, and repeated this process until they had woven a giant net, and then they landed on the wall that Sasuke had previously been on, entrapping the Geist in the net

Sasuke had jumped off the Geist's back once it was entrapped, and jumped up to a overhanging bridge, then dropped downward again, and impaled his blade into the Geist's skull, then using his sword for a launchpad, he jumped off it, impaling it further, the he uncovered his Rinnegan once again, and made a Chidori in his hand

He landed, then using his Amenotejikara, and suddenly where his electrified hand was, the electricity suddenly disappeared, and his Kusanagi was in his hand instead

The electricity of his Chidori reappeared inside the Geist's skull, and it received a electrocution, stunning it and loosening it from it's hunk of ice and dust that it had clung itself to

"Bansho Ten'in (Universal Pull)!" Sasuke said

Suddenly, the ghost-like Grimm was pulled out, and went flying straight towards Sasuke, and Sasuke then held out his hands

"Blaze Release Honoikazuchi!" Sasuke said

Suddenly, giant black spikes that were slightly enveloped in black flames sprouted all around Sasuke, and the Geist ended up being impaled right into it.

The spiked flames went away, and the Geist dissipated

Sasuke gave a small smile to himself before saying, "Well, looks like I haven't lost my touch."

/

"Hey ya mind if we spare once in a while?" Hare asked Sasuke

He did an efficient job of the Geist, and a quick one too. Much quicker than the Ace Ops could have ever done

Sasuke simply asked, "Why do you want to spare?"

Hare replied, "To get better, of course!"

Sasuke couldn't deny that. Becoming stronger was a very good virtue to have when you are strong because you couldn't ever tell when someone stronger will come along.

Sasuke nodded

Qrow then said, "Hey, heads up."

Sasuke looked forward to see General Ironwood, who was on the phone

"He's here already!?...Alright, go ahead, let him down," Ironwood said before hanging up

Ruby then asked, "What's wrong?"

Ironwood sighed, and said, "We have some rather unwelcome guests."

Weiss then asked, "And who exactly is that?"

Suddenly, an airship came out of nowhere and touched down, and a man dressed in white with a…white mustache and white hair came walking down. God, so much white.

"First, the embargo, and now you're trespassing on private property!? You're out of your mind, General Ironwood!" Jacques Schnee said

Ironwood then said, "It is for a good reason, Jacques, and besides, why do you care if you never used this mine for 10 years?"

Weiss then said, "You can't have everything your way, Father."

Jacques then said furiously, "You also let my lost daughter on your little operation as well!? What kind of man are you!?"

Ironwood then said, "I'm more of a man than you."

Jacques then replied, "I didn't come to beg for an abandoned mine, but I'm here to let you know, that you will pay for ever intruding on grounds you do not own, and to thank you for personally handing me your noose."

Jacques then looked at Weiss, and said, "You know, your mother was heartbroken when you left. And you know how she gets when she is…upset."

Weiss had a slightly shocked look on her face when Sasuke came up to him.

"Hello, Jacques Schnee, I've heard plenty about you," Sasuke said. Winter and Weiss talked about him sometimes

Jacques then asked Weiss, "Well, where are my manners, I don't believe I've met you. Tell me, my daughter, is this one of your wayward, barbaric friends?"

Weiss replied, "No, he's my family. He is a part of OUR family."

Ruby, Blake, and Yang walked up next to Weiss

Sasuke then continued, "You know, Jacques, you remind me of a certain someone. He was a businessman just like you."

Jacques then said, "I don't want to kn-"

Sasuke interrupts, "His name was Gatou. And do you want to know what I want to do to anyone like that when they insult any of my comrades?"

Jacques took a small step back

Sasuke then said, "Let's just say that you are irritating me. Especially through the fact that to you, money is life. You're so willing to risk the Faunus's necks for your own gain, and you never gave them what they are owed. So I'll tell you this."

Sasuke then let his Sharingan glow, "I don't want to see you again, or else we will have a few problems."

Jacques then nodded, then said, "I've had half a mind to agree to your very same requests. I will try to the best of my capabilities to honor it."

He then turned around to walk into his ship when Sasuke said as he left, loud enough for Jacques to hear him, "Half a mind, eh? Suits you, due to the fact that you aren't even half a man."

Jacques stormed the rest of his way into his ship, then took off

Weiss then said silently, "Thank you."

Suddenly, a truck pulled up, and Winter stepped out

Weiss then said, "Winter, you had just missed father."

Winter replied, "I don't think I'll miss-"

Suddenly, Penny came out of nowhere, and rocketed towards the ground before making a heavy landing, making team RWBY jump

"Congratulations!" Penny said

Winter gave Penny a 'too early' look

Penny said, "What, we haven't given it to them yet?"
