A dozen golden bullets tore the MPD airships, Roman was clapping ferociously. "My god, Degu you're one hell of a badass if you ask me! You're one hell of a force to be reckoned with, glad you're working with us more than the MPD!" He continued clapping enjoying the burning wrecks as Tanya sat down on one of the seats of the stolen airship.

She pinched the bridge of her temples as a headache was coming. It wasn't due to the fact she used a large amount of Formula and Spells. No it was due to prayers she used, granted the influence was gone, not exactly but enough of it was out of her system that she was feeling herself.

Also she doesn't remember what happened so she'll need to ask Roman later.

The Airship continued to fly till they were at the outskirts of Mistral where they abandoned ship. Then they began heading back to the Spider via a car they "rented".

An hour later they pulled into the Spiders garage. Tanya got out of the car, duffel bags in hand and was met by a Spider Member.

"Roman, Tanya. Miss Lil' wishes to speak with you." The Spider Gangster said.

The two were confused, but went inside sure the answers would come.

Roman was the first to break the silence between the two as they entered the main dining area "I guess we're dead?"

Tanya didn't respond, opting to save her air for something more productive. When they arrived at Miss Lil' table she sat with an approving look. She was smirking.

"You two created quite the noise out there. All the outlets in Mistral have been talking only about you two. Considering the fact you shot a dozen MPD Airships out of the sky I would agree with their coverage." Miss Lil said.

Roman responded almost immediately after she finished. "You should've been there to see it. It was awesome, golden too, literally. Did you know Tanya is religious? I was all like "you praying for god?". Then seconds later a Laser beam came out of her gun!" Roman explained enthusiastically, like a child describing his favorite fight scene from their favorite show.

"You're more than I expected. Is that your semblance by any chance?" Malachite asked.

"Semblance? No, these are the teachings every soldier in the Imperial Army receives." Tanya answered, the thing was Tanya didn't know what a Semblance was.

"I'd never expect a soldier to willingly join a gang but here we are. Also basic teachings? You're a walking dust reserve in a sense. What else can you do other than make giant laser beams?" Malachite asked.

"I can do more than just use Optical Formulas. I am capable of flight, up to 6000 feet any more than that and my orb won't be able to gather enough oxygen fast enough and I'll pass out." It was a lie.

She used single core specs rather than dual or quad core specs. Which can easily run a Flight spell, Warmth Formula, and Oxygen Formula, and be over 9000 feet all at the same time if she wanted to do it with the 95. The 97 will have a harder time but it can do it although it won't be able to do illusionary or run active camouflage at the same time at those heights but it was still able to fly.

A single core can run a single Formula, the more the cores the more the Formulas that can be run at once. For example if you had 64 Cores you could theoretically run 64 formulas at once. if you did have 64 cores you could dedicate 8 cores per Formula making them more efficient and still be able to run eight formulas at once. That's assuming running 64 formulas at once won't sap the mage of all of their mana in seconds.

"Not only that I am capable of turning my bullets into artillery shells through formulas and enchantments. Which is essentially writing onto the bullet what you want it to do when fired." Tanya explained.

"You will be a great help for the Spider. I'm glad that I brought you in." Malachite said.

"Thank you ma'am."

"Ultimately you two did extremely well I think I may end up overlooking some more unwanted attention if you're this good." Malachite said.

"Thank you Ma'am." Tanya responded.

"There's no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you since you're the ones who actually did one of the biggest robberies in Mistral History." Malachite said, "you two could go now, I have a client to deal with." Malachite ordered, Tanya and Roman left Malachite without a word.

"You know, Degu we work really well together."

"Damn it!" Yelled Margaret, slamming her fist on Shiro's desk.

"Hey watch the desk!" Shiro yelled in response to Margaret's anger.

"I don't get it, where would they be hiding!" Margaret said, ignoring Shiro's orders. It's been several days since the robbery at the Bank of Mistral, and they had no leads on Roman and his partner.

"Calm down, Margaret." Mark said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down! Roman Torchwick is out there and with his partner who can possibly blow up the entire Atleaian airfleet with ease. I can't stop not calm down, the Vytal Festival is coming and if we don't stop people are going to get hurt!" Yelled Margaret, pushing away Mark's hand.

"I know but you can't be constantly searching. All you're going to do is exhaust yourself." Mark said.

"Yes but we can't stop." Margaret said.

"I know that, but we need to save our energy for the tournament. Hell, we could even invite some other teams into our investigation." Mark explained.

At this point Margaret finally backed down. "O-ok."

"Now we need to finish our homework." Mark said.

……………………………………………………………………

Silently opening a window Tanya entered the Schnee manor in Mistral. She already disabled all the motion sensors that surround the premises and windows. So she had nothing to worry about getting caught. Her target was anything she could find useful or something she wanted.

Tanya silently went down the large empty halls of the Schnee Manor. Anybody that came by wouldn't see her as she had an Active Camo Formula active. After walking for a good minute she found herself in a dining room getting cleaned by a slave Faunus.

Tanya ignored it, eventually finding herself in the kitchen there she stole all the electronic equipment she could find. After ransacking the kitchen of its resources she moved on towards the rooms.

The closest room was one that belonged to a child, Winter Schnee was her name. She silently opened the door, it was cold but Tanya had dealt with colder. She silently closed the door and moved to the case at the opposite end of the room.

Tanya opened the case that was located in Winter's room. In it was a sword, nothing notable to it.

It didn't have a dust cartridge but it was a nice looking sword. It looked similar to the Officer's sword Tanya had back in the imperial army so she took it. Although a bayonet would've made more sense but whatever worked and she liked swords.

Tanya silently closed the case and heard someone get up from the creaking of the bed.

"Mommy?" Winter's childish voice came from the dark room which the two were in. Tanya could see perfectly in this environment as she has a Night Vision Formula activated on her goggles.

Certain formulas need an external gadget to work properly, for example Night Vision needed goggles to properly, this also includes other visual enhancers such as heat vision which allows you to see heat coming from an object, and zoom. Which acts like a pair of binoculars allowing you to see far away objects clearer.

Tanya began to move as Winter slowly got up. The nine year old began to move to her case as Tanya silently snuck to the door. The second Winter opened the case Tanya opened the door and locked it from the outside with a Lock Formula. Which can lock and unlock locks.

The second Winter heard the door lock she ran too it and began banging on it.

"Mommy! Father! Klein!" She yelled, as Tanya slipped away this was more than enough to grab the attention of Klein who immediately began helping Winter. Tanya slipped unnoticed then the sound she didn't want to hear. An alarm.

"Shit." Tanya cursed to herself as the Manors defense systems came into place. All the windows and side doors except for the front were blocked for a set period of time before being unlocked.

There was no time to steal anything else. She had to get out of the Manor before the Staff found her. She quickly went to the front door, stealing some more equipment and killing any guards who got in her way.

She made it to the front door but as expected there were guards, the Schnees, and staff were outside. While the guards were stationed at the door ready to shoot anybody who dares to try and exit without permission.

The guards in question had helmets on them that were electronic. She wanted one. So she drew her recently stolen sword and stabbed the closest one.

……………………………………………………………………

One moment they were all at alert waiting for the intruder to come to the front door. The main building was swarmed with guards after all, it made the most sense to exit through the front. Then 04 was stabbed through a massive bloody hole stabbed through him as he was violently kicked into the front door. His helmet was gone.

The bloodied sword was visible for a brief period before disappearing.

Then the sound of bag opening filled the room, and it zipped closed soon after it was clear where 04s helmet was.

Jaguar Squadron in a second responded by picking up their guns "What? What happened?" They didn't fire as they didn't know where the assailant was.

Soon someone began to run over to them and they briefly stepped into making a trail. They fired at the suspected position of where it was but nothing happened. They kept firing till something blue shimmered.

They kept hitting till it was clear who they were looking for, she suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A little girl in a jacket. On her back was a bag and it was most likely electronic equipment.

"What the hell!" Yelled the Sergeant, he continued to fire his automatic rifle. Dust cartridges pouring out in the dozens. He ran out of ammo and tried to reload but his head came off before he could even touch his magazine as a blonde blur filled his vision.

02s and 03s heads came off soon after.

……………………………………………………………………

Tanya activated a speed Formula after deactivating her Night Vision. She then put the soldier's helmet into her after turning it off. Soon after sprinted a few shots hit not enough to warrant a complete disabling of her camo but soon after a dozen more came forcing her to turn it off.

She quickly drew back her sword and cut off the lead soldier's head followed by the other two. Blood sprayed from their stumps as Tanya quickly left the scene unhindered as everybody was rushing to stop her.

Sirens filled the city that night as Tanya disappeared amongst the late night crowd of the red district.
