Lots of thanks to Eric for commissioning this chapter!


Glynda watches as Raven scoffs towards the departing Bullhead, her fist clenched tightly around the hilt of her sword before snorting and turning away.

"You okay?" She asks gently, smiling lightly when Raven relaxes and forces a smile on her face.

She sighs and rubs her gloved hand across her face. "Yeah, just mad." Her hand goes up to run through her long, messy hair before dropping by her side.

"It's just a recon mission, no?" Willow asks, her gaze moving towards the forest near them, and the mountain in the distance.

Raven snorts at that with a dark chuckle. "They told us to find and clear the area of whatever is making caravans disappear around this parts." She flatly states, a frown on her face. "Grimm leave behind rubble. Humans don't." Glynda hisses, instantly getting what Raven is aiming at.

"Just one month into the lessons, and they send us to exterminate a possible bandit camp. Fucking idiots…" Raven growls out as Summer pales considerably, and both Glynda and Summer feel their hands shake a bit at that information.

"E-exterminate?" Summer whispers out, her face so pale that it might as well have been transparent. "C-Can't we just arrest them?" Raven sighs and walks up to the shorter girl, then pulls her into a comforting hug, with Summer latching her arms around her desperately.

"They didn't give us the option…" She kisses Summer's forehead and gently rubs her back up and down. "Plus, they would have gotten executed either way."

"Negative emotions attract the Grimm, and putting too many people in jail is like having a massive beacon in the middle of a city." She scoffs, then pulls back and pats Summer's cheeks with a comforting smile. "There so much shit the walls can take, and waves of Grimm isn't one they can tank for too long."

Glynda had to admit that Raven is right. There's very few prisons on remnant, and majority of the time they are used for small crimes, where those arrested are taught and 'disciplined', and then released not too long after.

The very bad crimes?

Majority of the time, depending on the crime, the criminal is just left with some basic clothes and exiled outside the city, or village.

The worst crimes are instead met with instant execution, reason why some cities boast very low amounts of crimes, as people are afraid of being thrown outside and be torn apart by Grimms, or end up being executed and buried in a random ditch.

There are still criminals of course. But the majority just smuggle goods, or worse, slaves.

"Come on, let's not stay out here too long and find a good place to camp." Raven sighs, then turns towards Glynda. "You got the map, right?" She nods and swiftly brings it out, then unfurls it and lets Raven get a good look at it.

"Alright…" She licks her lips and narrows her eyes. "The road the caravans disappear on is by the foot of the mountain, beyond this river here." Her fingers trace along a thin blue line with a low hum, then tap on another spot along the river's edge. "This here is an elevated point, we should be able to have clear view of the road and the forest on the other side."

Willow poked the spot near the mountain with a frown on her face. "If we are indeed facing bandits, we should be able to see them at night, right?" Raven hums, then nods.

"If they turn on a fire, then yes, but expert bandits don't do that. They are used to the dark, and Grimm eyes glow red so they are easy to see." Her gaze suddenly hardens as she lifts her gaze to stare at her teammates. "Which means we won't turn a fire on either at night, lest we reveal our presence." Summer shivers, but hardens her gaze while Glynda nods together with Willow.

The thought of sleeping outside without a fire was… horrifying, but she trusts her team leader.

"So that's why you had us pack canned food then…" Willow whispers, and Raven nods.

"It's cheap and convenient, and saves us the time of hunting for animals or fishing in the river." She hums and lifts her gaze up towards the clear sky, then looks back down at the map. "Qrow will very likely try to find tracks by the road once his team sets up camp by an elevated spot too, so keep an eye out for them.

Glynda frowns a bit in worry at that. "Will he be alright alone?" She asks, and Raven sends her a smirk that gives her all kinds of good shivers.

Her eyes land on Raven's lips, and for a second she imagines them wrapped around her shaft and sucking it vigorously, like she always does.

Glynda bites down on her lower lip to contain her moan as she feels herself harden, and her cheeks grow warmer before she contains herself.

But Raven clearly saw it all.

"Don't worry about him." She waves off, bending down to grab her large bag before throwing it over her shoulder with ease. "He is a sneaky fucker, doubt they'll catch him." She nods towards the forest and gives Summer one last pat on the head before leading the way forward.

Summer falls into steps with Raven, and Glynda keeps her guard up in case any Grimm show up.

Willow instead seems to be enjoying the fresh air, and being outside near a forest, which Glynda is loving too, but is holding herself from enjoying it so to not let her guard down too much.

Being the daughter of a noble isn't fun. She had a lot since childhood, but at the same time she didn't get to enjoy it at all.

Her time was full of studying, learning, training and dealing with dumb parties over and over that sometimes she still doesn't know how to have fun.

She rarely experienced affection, praises, love.

Until she became a part of this team.

Willow is like her, experiencing freedom after being cooped up in a large mansion her whole life.

Summer and Raven? Summer is an excitable ball of energy that never gets tired, a breath of fresh air and affection, with a smile that could light up a room and turn Grimm to ash.

Raven is… different. She enjoys a lot of things, wants to be affectionate but doesn't push anyone's boundaries, seeks affection and touch, and always notices if something is off.

She swiftly did her best to be an amazing team leader, made sure that both her and Willow felt wanted, comfortable and relaxed, and always wanted to hear their opinion on anything and never took decisions by herself.

Plus, she is quite flirty with both her and her other teammates, which makes everything… fun.

She is open, shows what she wants, showers them with compliments and very clearly loves what she sees.

But she doesn't force things to happen, and like she said, she waits for others to start stuff, like she herself did during the massage more than a month ago.

And all the times they played around and made out while the other girls weren't around, or Raven would willingly worship her body and make her feel things she never could imagine.

Glynda always felt… different from others due to having that. Hell, at first she was even disgusted with herself for being so weird, and deep down she still did… until Raven came in and just went crazy over that fact.

And then hammered the fact that she is sexy and wanted in her head through mind blowing orgasms.

On a daily basis.

Glynda shivers, then trails her eyes down Raven's back and her bouncing messy hair, then to her admittedly very large ass, barely contained within her blood red skirt and the shorts beneath.

Even tight clothing can hide how curvaceous she is, and Glynda understands that quite a bit.

Both she and Raven are the biggest when it comes to chest and ass compartment, though Glynda wasn't as big and thick as Raven.

Willow instead, while still busty, had more of a large ass on her, nearly on par with Glynda's.

And Summer instead, while still having a very nice behind, had more in the chest compartment, though the adorable girl did her best to keep it contained and hidden.

Not that it's working, since due to Raven's constant influence the girl is now slowly becoming more and more comfortable with her body, and started to wear lighter clothing around them.

"Say, Raven…" Willow suddenly speaks up, hands behind her back, a thoughtful look on her face.

Raven turns her head and hums, showing that she was listening, so Willow went on. "You seem… oddly at ease at the fact that we'll have to… Kill someone." The silver haired girl licks her lips, then glances at her team leader hesitantly. "Have you… ever killed before?"

Raven hums softly, then turns her head to face the forest once more as Glynda feels her stomach drop slightly.

"I never told you girls about my past, did I?" Raven speaks up softly, and Summer shakes her head even though Raven can't see her.

"My mother was a strong huntress, and she was defeated and impregnated by the leader of the Brawnen Tribe, a very large and vicious bandit group far from here." Glynda and the other girls pale at that, but Raven keeps going.

"My father only wanted strength. Weaklings were executed. Cowardice led to execution. Failure led to humiliation, torture... and worse if you were a woman."

She sighs, then turns her head to give her teammates a gentle smile. "How do you think me and Qrow survived this long?" Willow's face paled considerably at that. "The amount of atrocities me and Qrow had to do to survive can't be counted, and they are and will always eat away at us." She shrugs and sidesteps a tree without even looking.

"Least we can do is make up for it by doing some good… But we already know that deep down we can't be redeemed."

"Nor do we want to be."

The rest of the walk to find a good place to set up camp was deadly quiet and as peaceful as it could be.

Glynda found it weird how no Grimm stumbled upon them so far, but decided to shrug it off to luck.

It took an entire hour before they finally found a good spot. A tall cliff attached to the forest, with the rushing river down below and the road the merchant caravans disappeared in clear view, albeit with some trees in the way here and there.

"This place is as good as any…" Raven muses quietly. "The river covers up any noise we make, if we turn our lanterns on at night then they won't be visible since we are far back from the cliff, and we have a clear view of our target. We just need to wait for the ants to come out of their nest, because they will."

Glynda decided not to think about how Raven's knowledge of these things came from ambushing and killing innocents, and merely focused on the fact that with her help they might stop more innocent people from dying.

"Summer." Raven speaks up, snapping the younger girl out of her deep thoughts and making her perk up with a faint blush on her face. "You'll be the one on the look-out. Report back any Grimm or human sighting…" Raven pauses, then gives the girl a pointed look. "No shooting Grimms without permission."

Glynda blinks several times, but decides to chalk up the dark cloud hovering above the pouting and sulking Summer as a figment of her imagination.

Summer childishly kicks a rock over the cliff, then huffs and sits down to keep watch while crossing her arms.

And both Willow and Glynda can tell that Raven is visibly holding herself back from cuddling and patting the life out of the poor, adorable girl.

"We'll go set up camp." Raven muses once she manages to win against her urges, then turns around and leads her other two teammates a few dozen meters away from the cliff before pausing and taking her bag off her back.

The two tents they bought with them are quickly set up, together with their sleeping bags and the few books they decided to bring to entertain themselves.

The mission is expected to be a long one after all.

Glynda wipes some sweat off her brown, cursing the sun above and the hot weather around them before noticing Raven leaning against a tree and staring at the map they bought.

She decides not to stare too much at her long exposed legs and instead walked up to her with a curious look in her eyes. "What are you looking at?" Raven hums and perks up, having clearly been focused on the map in her hands.

"Oh, just thinking…" She muses, then nods her head to the side and lowered the map so to let Glynda stare at it too once she walked up and leaned against her side. "Four teams were deployed on this mission, and the closest team to us right now is Qrow's, who should be from one to five kilometers north." She explains as she traces her finger along the river, then taps several elevated spots along it, clearly expecting Qrow to use one of them to watch over the road.

"The area the caravans disappear in is always the same, and it's right between us and Qrow's team." She taps the road and hums softly, then scrunches up her nose. "We'll keep watch for two nights, then start moving north to meet with Qrow. If he finds anything then he'll come get us himself." Glynda nods, then watches as Raven puts away the map, then turns her gaze towards Willow.

Glynda follows her gaze and frowns softly, noticing her partner's nervousness. "She'll come around." She has to. Is what she though mentally, but held it back.

Raven hums, then gives her a comforting smile before pulling away from the tree, then started to walk to join Summer and keep her company.

Neither she nor Summer come back until the sun sets and night falls.

The group swiftly turns on a small lantern, eat enough to quell their hunger, then simply spent some time chatting.

And then Raven decided to introduce scary and ghost stories to the group.

Very descriptive and gory horror stories.

The only one laughing was Raven, and the only one crying and screaming in fright was Summer.

Glynda and Willow instead managed to keep their cool, even though they were a little bit green in the face.

Possibly the only good thing that came from being trained for noble gatherings and parties.

"Oh man…" Raven breathes out, patting Summer's back as the terrified girl hugs herself with her white cloak. "It's just so fun to tease you." Summer throws Raven a furious pout, mixed with teary eyes and puffed up cheeks.

Then pops out of existence.

Raven blinks, then turns to one of the tents, Glynda and Willow doing the same.

Summer's head peeks out one of them the next second. "I hate you! You meanie!" She shouts, then her head disappears back into the tent as Raven snorts.

"I don't know how you two are still friends…" Willow sighs with an amused smile on her face and a slight shake of her head, and her team leader merely shrugs with a grin.

"Alright…" Raven grunts and stands, stretching her back without a care, exposing just a bit of her belly before she sighs and drops her arms. "You girls get some sleep, I'll keep watch for a few hours." She instructs before walking off towards the cliff, leaving behind her two shocked teammates.

Willow opens her mouth, then lowers her gaze sadly. "Do you think it's my fault?" She questions lowly, and Glynda winches slightly.

"I don't think so…" She reassures her partner with a comforting pat on her shoulder. "I can understand why you are nervous, but Raven didn't do what she did out of enjoyment. Neither did Qrow." She sighs softly, then sends a sad look towards the cliff far ahead of them. "I'm sure we'd have done the same if we were in their position."

She stands and gives her partner a comforting smile. "Take some rest. I'll go keep her company." Willow opens her mouth, but then closes it and nods, deciding not to argue before standing and walking towards one of the two tents.

Glynda watches her disappear within the tent with a small smile, then fixes her glasses and turns to walk towards the cliff.

It doesn't take long to reach it, and she smiles softly when she notices Raven lazing by the edge of the cliff, her head lifted high and her eyes tracing the ocean of stars up above.

"Disobeying your leader now?" Raven asks with no small amount of amusement in her voice. "The one that doesn't break rules ends up ignoring orders. Who would've thought."

Glynda merely snorts. "Rules and orders are two different things." She states while crossing her arms beneath her bust.

"Rules are orders written on paper. Majority of the time." Raven points out, and Glynda blinks… then decides to ignore her point and take a seat beside her.

"A night beneath the stars with a beautiful lady beside me… a dream come true." Raven sighs wistfully, causing a blush to spread across Glynda's cheeks as she turns an amused look to her lazy team leader.

Raven merely grins and raises a brow at her. "What? Ya wanna make out under the stars? Once in a lifetime feeling for sure." Glynda bites her lower lip and actually considers it, then swiftly gives up trying to resist that feeling and merely accepts her new desires.

She can't help it. She finally feels like she isn't wrong and weird.

Raven raises her other brow in surprise, her grin turning into a warm smile before she straightens herself and wraps an arm around Glynda's waists.

"I don't hear a no, so I'll take it it's an invitation~!" Raven purrs, then leans in and captures Glynda's lips with hers.

The blonde hums into the kiss, feeling a smile spread across her lips as she lets herself get carried away like usual, unable to resist her desires and Raven.

Not like she wants to in the first place.

Glynda tilts her head to the side as Raven pulls her against her front, her back facing her team leader, who wraps her arms around her belly and starts slowly lifting her shirt and spreading her legs wide open.

She gasps softly when her breast is groped roughly through the shirt, giving Raven the opening to slip her tongue inside her mouth, deepening the kiss more and more.

Glynda breaks the kiss so to let Raven take off her shirt, then remove her bra and take her large breasts into her warm hands as a pleasant hum escapes the blonde's lips.

Glynda moans as her nipples are pinched and her breasts are roughly squeezed and kneaded, her lips parting and meeting Raven's hungry mouth once more.

Her hand comes up to grasp at the back of her team leader's neck, feeling herself grow as hard as stone as Raven easily snaps her leather skirt open.

Her undergarments are moved to the side, and her hard, throbbing shaft slips and bounces free in all it's thick glory.

Glynda moans into Raven's mouth as her team leader instantly grasps the shaft with her right hand, and starts pumping it up and down without a care, sending waves of pleasure through Glynda's whole body.

She pants hotly once Raven kisses her way down to her neck, pinching one of her nipples with her left hand while the other pleasures her hard shaft, the cool breeze caressing her now sweaty body and heightening her pleasure even further.

"Raven-!" Glynda pants, eyes hazy with lust and need as her toes curl, suddenly feeling so much better than usual.

Her pleasure shot over the roof as Raven kisses her again, a rough and messy kiss full of tongue, which makes Glynda's back arch as she feels her orgasm grow stronger and closer by the second.

And then she releases everything with a muffled pleasured squeal in Raven's mouth, her body feeling like it caught on fire as her release sprayed all over the grass in front of her.

Glynda pants heavily as Raven breaks the kiss with a smirk on her beautiful face, her eyes all but glowing in the darkness.

"That was…" She pants with wide eyes, then slowly meets the beautiful red eyes of her team leader. "Wow." Raven snorts, then kisses her again and cuddles her closer to her front, uncaring of her nudity, or sweat.

"Guess you like doing stuff outside." Raven muses, bringing a yelp out of a now furiously blushing Glynda. "Nothing wrong with that. It's sexy." That didn't help one bit, but Glynda swiftly groans and chalks it up to Raven just being Raven, and simply leans back against her.

Glynda takes a deep breath, then raises her gaze to stare at the glittering ocean of stars above, with the broken moon staring down at them.

And then, without knowing, she fell asleep.

And woke up back in her tent, completely dressed, and having had the best sleep of her entire life.

XxX

Willow hums a gentle tune as she cleans her hands inside the rushing waters of the cool river, then runs her wet fingers through her hair a few times, a gentle smile on her face.

Being able to experience nature is something new to her. She's more used to fake and artificial gardens and ponds, not the real things, which are by far so much better than the replicas.

To not talk about the night sky.

She's used to seeing very few stars in the sky at night, but yesterday she was left speechless at the sight of those millions of stars.

Sleeping outside wasn't wonderful instead. It was very scary, and she didn't have a very good night's sleep due to the fear of Grimms just popping up all of a sudden, but then Raven seemed awfully confident they wouldn't show up.

"What are ya thinkin' about?" Willow screams and jumps several feet in the air, then flips around and turns a vicious glare to her smirking team leader.

"Damn, almost flashed me…" Raven whistles while lazily leaning against the back of a tree by the edge of the river, making a furious blush spread across Willow's cheeks as her hands go down to clench at her long dark blue skirt.

She huffs and turns around with an angry pout on her face, then her eyebrow twitches when she hears the sound of ruffling clothes come from behind her.

Followed by a pleasant hum that sent shivers down her spine.

Willow warily looks back, then instantly feels her face catch on fire at the sight. "Why are you naked!?" Well, Raven wasn't fully naked. Her bra and panties were still on.

But Willow is a prim and proper lady, thus she instantly blushed profusely at the sight and tried to cover her eyes with her hands.

While most definitely not leaving a gap between her fingers to keep on looking.

"What? The water feels nice and cool." A whine akin to a boiling tea-kettle escapes Willow as Raven kicks her feet around the roaring and rushing waters of the river.

She finally sighs and drops her hands, trying her best not to focus on her hardening length below her skirt, while also trying not to stare at Raven too much.

No matter how good and sexy she looked.

"Say…" Willow suddenly perks up, deciding to use the chance to ask Raven something that she is very curious about.

Raven hums and raises a brow at her, a lazy smile on her face. "How did you know that Grimm wouldn't attack us during the night?" Raven blinks in surprise at the question, then simply hums softly.

"Grimm aren't just attracted to Aura and Negative Emotions, but also Negativity in general." She lifts her gaze to meet Willow's as she explains. "Meaning that if you are a bad person, they will know, and nine times out of ten, they'd pick you as a meal instead of a harmless civilians. That's also how they grow stronger."

Raven hums and stretches her back, causing her large chest to jiggle within their confines quite a lot under Willow's burning gaze. "The group of bandits we are tracking down most definitely has the majority with Aura awakened, and is also a big beacon of negativity, so any and all Grimm in the area will decide to pick the biggest target instead of the smaller ones sprinkled around. Mostly because they are dumb."

Willow had to admit that what Raven said makes a lot of sense. Albeit humankind has fought against Grimm since time immemorial, they still knew far too little about them.

"Also…" She perks up when Raven speaks up again, then blinks as she notices the enormous teasing grin on Raven's face. "Your dagger is poking out." Dagger?

Willow looks down with a confused look, then instantly feels her face catch on fire and covers her crotch with her hands, hiding the visible bulge behind them.

But alas, the damage has already been done.

"Need more visual material to help you calm down the beast?" Raven offers with a lazy teasing smirk on her face, hooking a finger around her bra and hooking it down, allowing her perky and visibly hard nipples to poke out as she pushes her arms together, making her already large chest look even bigger.

Willow's mind goes back to that day in the dorms, where Raven showed her large ass to her after she caught her masturbating.

Willow gulps, suddenly noticing that her mouth is much drier than normal. "I kinda want to feel it up…" She whispers aloud, then swiftly realizes what she said and blushes furiously while covering her mouth.

Raven blinks, quite surprised at that, but her smirk comes back at full force. "Now I feel bad for teasing you so much." She muses, then stands and nods her head towards the trees with an inviting, sexy smirk on her face.

Willow couldn't resist that look and swiftly followed after her, her face glowing red from embarrassment, her heart hammering in her ears.

"Y-You really don't mind that I have a…?" She didn't finish her sentence as she threw a nervous glance to Raven's naked back, her long wild black hair bouncing around with each step she took.

"Nope~!" Raven purrs out with a smirk as she stops by a tree, then pulls her closer by grabbing her hips, making her breath hitch. "I actually see it as a massive bonus. One I might wring dry~!" Willow gulps nervously, but doesn't stop Raven as she unhooks her long skirt and lets it fall on the ground, exposing her naked shaft, free from the underwear due to her taking them off before coming to the river.

"Come on, don't be shy…" Raven chuckles gently, helping Willow wrap her hands around her lower body, then pulls her closer-

And slides her shaft between her warm, soft thighs.

A whimpering, pleasured moan flows out of Willow's lips as her face lies between Raven's large breasts, filling her nostrils with her team leader's scent while her hands went down to grab at her large ass.

Willow's hands and fingers sank into the jiggly, fat meat as she groped it greedily, her hips instantly starting to thrust back and forth with unconcealed desire as she desperately wanted to feel more of that incredible pleasure.

Raven's scent, her low pleasured hums, the feeling of her warm thighs and soft ass-cheeks, it all sent surges of pleasure down her spine, nearly turning her legs into jelly.

"So cute~!" Raven purrs out with a large grin on her face, a slight flush decorating her cheeks as she held Willow close, running her fingers through the shorter girls silver hair.

But of course Willow, as inexperienced she is, didn't last long.

Her nerves sang, and her pleasure skyrocketed, the new pleasurable feelings overwhelming her mind and body and swiftly building up her orgasm.

After a few more thrusts and pleasured whimpers, Willow released her orgasm with a cry of pleasure, spraying her large load between Raven's legs, and on the grass behind her.

Raven chuckles softly, a pleasured smile on her face as she strokes Willow's head, letting the girl catch her breath against her chest.

And then her expression twitches, and swiftly turns serious.

"Willow, get cleaned up and get dressed." She swiftly orders, taking Willow by surprise.

Still on her high from the pleasure overload, Willow could only watch dumbstruck as Raven rushed to the river, cleaned herself up, then put on her clothes once more.

Snapping awake from her daze, Willow did the same and swiftly followed after her team leader back to the camp.

"Summer, Glynda, with me." Raven orders, not even sending the two surprised girls a glance before rushing into the forest.

Summer and Glynda share a confused glance before gathering their bearings and following after Willow and Raven, keeping quiet and not asking any question as they run after her.

It took several minutes before they reached a small clearing in the forest, and Raven stops and looks around with furrowed brows before cupping her hands around her mouth.

Her right hand moves a bit, and the girls expected to hear a sound, a sort of secret call, but instead heard nothing.

Raven drops her hands by her side, then swiftly turns her head to her right just before Qrow jumps out of the treeline, a frown on his face.

"You found them already?" Raven questions with a raised brow, and Qrow nods, his frown relaxing just slightly.

"Yeah, caught one of their groups by the river two hours ago, followed them back to their camp…" He sighs and rubs the back of his neck nervously. "It's a big group… more than five dozen at least, give or take." Raven scowls while her team gulps nervously.

They are trained and can handle themselves, but against such a large group something can always go wrong.

"Where's the camp?" Raven questions, and Qrow simply shrugs.

"Large hole in the mountain, hidden by the trees, a kilometer down the river from here." He muses, then blinks and turns to look towards Summer. "Though the sniper girl over there can help us take care of the majority, if she can stomach it, that is." Summer's face pales considerably at that, and both Glynda and Willow swiftly notice that Raven had to physically hold herself back from punching Qrow.

"Are they any good?" She instead asks, though the words are nearly growled out of her mouth.

Qrow blinks, then realizes the predicament he is in and chuckles nervously. "Uuh… Not really. Their patrol groups are too large, they make too much noise, drink without a care." Raven hums and rubs her chin in thought. "My team can handle taking them out, permanently. We just need a good plan."

"It won't be hard." Raven speaks up, surprising Qrow, but she ignores his surprise and turns her gaze to Glynda. "Stealing their weapons and tripping up their legs so to leave them open to us… Think you can stomach that?"

Glynda instantly realizes right then and there that the one speaking to her isn't the flirty, cuddly and cheerful team leader she is used to.

No… right now the one speaking is the trained, ruthless killer that is Raven.

And the only thing she could do was nod as an answer, as she didn't trust her voice to speak up.

XxX

"These guys are fucking idiots…" Raven growls out as she watches the eight bandits walk past the trees in front of them, chatting happily and even joking, theirs hands holding beer bottles and torches instead of weapons.

Hell, one of them was even holding a bag full of them on his back.

Qrow snorts quietly from beside her. "Ain't anything like back home, ain't it?" Raven snorts right back.

"They'd have already gotten executed if we were back home." She scowls, then shakes her head and nods to Qrow.

He takes the signal and turns to his blonde partner. "Tai, bring Summer to the large tree we found before." Tai blinks, then nods with a smile. "No funny shit, no talking, and stay low. Got it?" His smile falls into a serious expression at Qrow's reminder, and he nods to the equally serious but slightly nervous Summer before leading her away under the cover of the night and the darkness.

"Think she can handle it?" He questions lowly to Raven, and she simply scrunches up her nose.

"She's strong." Qrow visibly flinches at that word. "Same for the others. They'll grow better from this."

"Hunters get their hands dirty so that the world stays clean. This is what they signed up for." She throws a glance back to her remaining two teammates and smiles at them. "I have absolute faith that they'll pull through." Both Willow and Glynda feel a surge of warmth and happiness at Raven's words, but did their best not to let it show too much.

"Heh…" Qrow chuckles lowly and shakes his head, then suddenly frowns. "Still, this fuckers are lucky. Even with how huge their group is and how much noise they make, no fucking Grimm pulled up on 'em." Raven visibly pauses at that.

"Excuse me?" She turns a confused frown to her twin brother, who shrugs lazily.

"What I said. The whole time we kept watch over them, no Grimm pulled up. Nor were we attacked once since we got here." He clicks his tongue with a frown on his face. "Fucking creeps me out, ain't used to this…" Raven flares her nostrils, her frown deepening a great deal before she shakes her head and stands.

Then strides out of their cover and starts walking towards the chatting group of bandits ahead of them under the shocked gazes of hers and Qrow's remaining teammates.

"Well, their fucking dead…" Qrow sighs and sends a short prayer to the bandits as Raven approaches them from behind, her steps as quiet as a nimble cat.

Omen slides out of it's sheath as Raven approaches the bandit at the back of the group, then wraps her left arm around his shoulder and grabs his, then snaps the grown man's neck with a swift pull.

His lifeless body is gently guided to the ground by her before she steps over it and approaches the next one.

This time her next target is right beside another, but she doesn't let up and swings Omen with her right arm, decapitating the bandit woman on the right while snapping the neck of the man on the left.

She then rushed forward before their bodies could even hit the ground.

The next duo died just as they hit the ground, and the last three barely managed to turn around to check up on the noise before they followed suit.

Willow and Glynda felt their stomach's churn at the sight, but managed to hold in the little they ate before they started taking slow and deep breaths to calm themselves.

Qrow's team is equally pale, but faring much better than Raven's.

"Haven't gotten rusty at all, have ya?" Qrow chuckles as he stands and approaches Raven, ignoring the cut up bodies around her.

"Please. Think this can get rusty?" Raven smirks and waves a hand at her body, then snorts and nods towards the large bag one of the bandits is holding. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" She asks with a smirk, and Qrow perks up.

Then matches her smirk with his own. "You wanna smoke 'em out of their hidey hole?" He crouches down and opens the bag, whistling at the dozens of bottle of alcohol inside it. "Not enough to truly smoke 'em out, but enough to make scare them shitless and run outside."

Raven nods, then grins at Glynda. "And I know just the person that can throw these around." The blonde could only sigh deeply at that.

The rest of the walk to the bandit hideout was quiet, and Qrow led the rest of his team away to encircle the other side of the camp just as they reached it.

Willow and Glynda nervously stare at the clearing in front of them, and at the cheering, laughing and seemingly partying group of bandits, their camp set right outside a large cave into the mountain side.

Glynda couldn't help but feel that the cave opening seemed a bit… odd, but decided to ignore that feeling for now.

"Say, Raven…" Willow speaks up, keeping her voice low and quiet as her bright eyes follow the partying bandits around. "How did you know Qrow was around this morning?" She asks, and Glynda perks up curiously.

She herself didn't hear anything back then, yet Raven somehow did, over the sound of the rushing river down below too.

Raven hums softly, her eyes coldly staring at the camp as she waited for Qrow's signal. "Me and Qrow were born with incredibly good hearing. Like, insanely good. So good we can hear someone's heartbeat from dozens of feet away." She explains, making the eyes of her team widen profusely. "So we came up with a special type of whistle call that only me and him can hear." She suddenly perks up, then smirks.

"He's ready." She states, then turns to Glynda, who nods her head and puts the bag full of already prepared molotov's on the ground and opens it.

She takes a deep breath and grabs her riding top, then lets Willow turn the cloth clogging the bottles on fire.

And starts hurling the flaming bottles through the air the next second.

It takes several seconds before the chaos fully starts, and Glynda forces her hands to stand still and ignore how several of the bottles she hurled through the air actually hit some people, setting them on fire.

A gunshot rings from the forest, and Glynda and Willow barely manage to register the fact that someone's head just exploded like a watermelon not even a dozen meter ahead of them.

"Willow!" Raven shouts, and Willow forces down her bile and swiftly boosts her team leader before creating three large Beowolves to assist them even further.

Glynda watches as Raven rushes into the flaming and chaotic clearing, smoke, flames and twisting air hindering her vision, making her unable to see the whole clearing clearly, and perfectly follow her team leader.

But she persists and follows after her with Willow, the three fake Beowolves tearing through the bandits on their way together with Raven, who cuts them all down in a single swing.

Her steps are calculated, and her moves are deadly precise. Nothing is wasted, neither her stamina nor time.

Just like real bandits.

Create chaos, swoop in during it, take out the targets as swiftly as possible, then loot and leave.

No failures are accepted.

Failure means death.

Glynda and Willow finally understood just a bit of the hell that Raven and Qrow had to experience.

And they are now incredibly glad that the two are on their side, and helping them grow.

Gunshots after gunshots ring out from the forest, with each shot taking out either one or two bandits at the same time, and always aiming for those that get either too close to Willow and Glynda, or the ones rushing out of the cave entrance.

Glynda blinks as a large, hulking man with a great ax strides out of the flames with a furious snarl on his face, a bright orange glowing around his body. His Aura.

Raven instantly makes a beeline for the man, and Glynda's eyes widen as a blood red glow shimmers to life around her body. Her own Aura.

Both Glynda and Willow swiftly realize that Raven was holding back this whole time. Both against the bandits, and against them.

"You fucking bitch!" The man roars and lifts his great ax in the air, but Raven stomps on the ground and rushes forward, cracking it under the force of her take-off and reaching the large muscular man the next second.

And she doesn't stop.

She gut punches the man with enough force to instantly shatter his Aura and bend his whole body around her arm, then pull him through the cave and towards the entrance of the cave with ease, as if she was carrying a sack of potatoes.

The bandits instantly fall quiet at the sight, and the morale swiftly drops as their wheezing leader rolls across the ground.

Raven sneers and twirls Omen around, her cold eyes sliding across the remaining bandits, sending shivers down their spine.

"Toss away your weapons and get on your knees, or your heads will roll." She commands coldly, switching her grip on Omen and stabbing it downward and through the large man's leg, causing him to scream loudly.

His scream of pain echoes across the clearing and through the sound of popping flames, and further heightens the fear felt by the bandits.

Qrow doesn't pause and rushes into the cave with his team, smirking slightly as the remaining bandits all instantly follow Raven's command and kneel on the ground.

Her cold gaze grows slightly warm as she turns to stare at her panting team members. "You girls alright?" She asks softly, and Willow and Glynda swiftly nod, a bit pale in the face, but still high on their adrenaline rush.

The fake Beowolves stop beside Willow, snarling angrily towards the cowering bandits, ready to pounce on them the second they make a wrong move.

"Now then, back to you." Raven hums and turns towards the leader, a cry of pain leaving his lips as she pulls her blood-coated Omen out of his leg.

The man snarls, his pale face covered in dirt and cold sweat, yet his eyes blazed with pure fury. "You fuckin-" His words were cut off by a vicious kick that sent several of his teeth flying, and Glynda winches at the sight while Willow instantly turns away.

"I didn't give you permission to speak, vermin." Raven spits out coldly, placing her boot on his throat and pressing down on it, making the man release a gargled gasp, his mouth filling with blood and his eyes filling with panic and fear.

"Raven!" Qrow's voice comes from within the cave, making her perk up, then sneer down at the bandit leader and remove her boot from his throat.

She bends down and roughly grabs his hair with her gloved hand, then starts dragging him into the cave.

Willow leaves her Beowolves to watch the remaining bandits before following after her with Glynda, knowing that Summer is still keeping a look out and watching over them.

"You found something?" Raven questions as she tosses the large man she dragged into the cave aside, raising a brow towards Qrow once she notices the disgusted frown on his face.

"Yeah, I did." He spits out and walks to a large box covered with a veil, several with five more being right around it, each one covered by large dark green veils.

Only for Qrow to remove the veil over one of these 'boxes', and reveal a large cage with several young Faunus in them.

"These sons of bitches are slave traders." Qrow growls out with a murderous look on his face, one that is instantly matched by his twin sister as the young Faunus captives cover away from the bars of the cage.

"Bring them out of the cave." Raven orders before flipping to the cowering team leader, letting Qrow snap the locks with his team and reassure the captive slaves before leading them out of the cave.

"You better start talking fast, before I convince you to speak." Raven says as she crouches down beside the bleeding man. "And trust me, you won't like the things I'll do to you." Glynda frowns slightly, not liking this side of Raven one bit, but decides to keep quiet either way.

The man sneers and spits some blood on the ground, a vicious look on his face. "Fuck you." He grins at Raven, only for her to swiftly dig her gloved fingers into the deep cut she stabbed into his leg.

Then twist and pull.

The man's voice broke as he screamed at the top of his lugs, the pain so great his back arches off the ground and his hands clench so tightly that his nails dig into his palms.

Raven smiles coldly down at me. "Wanna try me again?" She challenges, and the man swiftly whimpers.

"I-I'll talk! I'll talk!" The man hurriedly states. "J-Just don't fucking touch me again!" Raven sneers at him, then pulls her hand back and hums.

"Start talking then." Qrow speaks up as he approaches Raven from behind, his arms crossed in front of his chest, a murderous look on his face. "Who's the employer, where did you have to take the 'merch', all that stuff." Raven nods, wriggling her bloodied fingers in front of the men's face as extra incentive.

"T-The buyer is some dude named Argus! I don't fucking know anything else about him!" He hurriedly answers, eyes flicking between Raven and Qrow over and over. "He said he'd send someone to meet with us when we near Vale, that's all I know!" Raven and Qrow scowl at that, realizing that the buyer is someone experienced in the trade.

"Then why the fuck have y'all stayed here for three fucking months and attacked caravans left and right?" Qrow questions with a low growl, earning a confused look from the scared bandit leader.

"W-What?" The man glances between Raven and Qrow with furrowed brows. "W-We didn't attack any caravans…" The man states, and Raven instantly feels her stomach drop as her eyes widen.

Qrow furrows his brows at the man on the ground. "We've been here for just three days…" The bandit leader whispers, yet it was loud enough for the twins to hear it.

Raven slowly straightens her back. "That's why no Grimm attacked us…" She whispers, earning a confused look from Qrow. "Because there's a big, bad motherfucker here scaring 'em all away…" She slowly turns her gaze to the depths of the dark cave.

Only to notice a sickening green light up the dark depths.

"We need to get the fuck out of here. Now!" Raven roars and turns around to rush out of the cave, followed closely by Qrown.

And then an inhuman, horrifying screech rumbles from the depths of the cave, making the very land and mountain shake from the soundwave.

"What the fuck is that?!" Qrow shouts, waving at his team to take the Faunus prisoners away as deep rumbles shake the cave.

Raven glares grimly at the cave in front of her as gust of foul air rushes out of it, quelling all the burning fires and torches around the clearing and entrance.

The light of the broken moon shines down on the clearing as a massive bony scythe appears out of the cave and stabs into the nearby wall.

Followed by another.

Then another, and another, and another.

A sickly green glow comes from the belly of the beast as the Grimm pulls itself out of the cave, stabbing it's scythe legs into the ground and keeping itself nearly a dozen meters in the air with it's long bladed arms.

It's body is nearly two dozen meters long, covered in bony white plates with red markings on them, while it's lower body is inflated, and glowing a sickly grin, and clearly filled with liquid.

"No shit the caravans disappeared without a trace…" Raven whispers, gaining her twin's attention. "That fucking thing is a weird, mutated Cenitaur… They spit highly corrosive acid…"

"They couldn't find the remains of the caravans because there were no remains in the first place…"
