Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 1600- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Beacon, Vale.)
Team RWBY was among the many who watched as the Atlesian Dropship set down, Weiss blinked as she noted the Black Markings on the craft as it landed.
"Atlesian Black Ops? Just for one cargo ship?"
Weiss asked as Yang and Ruby looked at her, then 12 figures stepped off the Dropship.
The first was an Atlesian soldier with Green Markings on his armor, he looked around before boarding the Dropship once again.
The others were Atlesian Knights-200s, Weiss blinked as their sleek bodies walked off the Dropship.
The third was a boy clad in white and blue with a sword on his back and a pair of Atlesian Pistols on his thighs.
The Atlesian Knights surrounded him as he started to march forward, Yang blinked as she looked at the boy, he was cute, she had to admit that.
"Who's the cutie with the sword? Hmm?"
Yang purred as Weiss rolled her eyes, if there was a Black Ops soldier there, then his mission had to be too top secret for them to know about.
"Yang, he's black ops, that means it's serious business, we shouldn't… Yang?"
Weiss said before noticing Ruby and Yang had left to meet the boy as she stomped her foot.
"I SAID…."
Weiss said before sighing, she and Blake walked over to the boy as the Atlesian Knights stopped, waiting for an order from the boy.
Weiss blinked as she looked at the boy, though she remembered him as he looked at Ruby and Yang, resting on the modified Zweihander Sword… A weapon that was usually wielded with 2 hands and not 1.
That was when Weiss realized who this was.
"Skyler?"
Weiss asked as Skyler turned from Yang and Ruby to look at Weiss, leaning on his weapon as he did so.
"Weiss Schnee, so this is where you went after you left Atlas… Good to see you… Uh…"
Skyler said as he turned back to the others, blinking, he wasn't used to this much attention… At least attention like this… And not Atlesian soldiers or White Fang insurgents.
"Who are they?"
Skyler asked as he looked them over, the first girl was probably younger or the youngest, the innocent smile told him that much, she wore a red and black pair of boots… As was the rest of her outfit, the cloak and silver eyes were very defining traits… As was the blackish hair.
Weiss wore the same dress she had always worn when she was in Atlas, Myrtenaster hung on her belt as she looked at the rest of her team with disdain.
The third girl had piercing yellow eyes and a bow, the black, white, and purple colors helped tell Skyler she was more introverted, she looked more withdrawn than the others as well…. Skyler felt something was being kept from him with the girl
The fourth girl as making him… Nervous, he just couldn't tell why, she had Lilac eyes and golden hair that seemed like it was as bright as fire, she wore a tan jacket with golden brown piping, puffy sleeves, and a yellow crop top with an emblem Skyler guessed belonged to the girl.
The girl looked at Skyler and smirked and Skyler rested himself on his swords, even more, the girl looked ready to pounce on him the second he opened his mouth.
"So… Skyler, huh?"
The girl purred, resting her hands on her hips as Weiss blinked, Yang's look was already… flustering to boys, she would be damned before she let Yang throw herself at the boy.
"Yang, Ruby, Blake, this is Skyler Azur, one of the most elite soldiers in the Atlesian Military… And Lieutenant…"
Weiss started to say as Skyler turned to her to speak before one of the Knights spoke up.
"Captain, Captain Azur was recently promoted by General Ironwood for the dismantling of White Fang insurgent camps in Mistral."
The Knight said as Skyler looked at something and grabbed Yang's wrist, she smirked as he turned her wrist over.
"Are those… Shotgun gauntlets?"
Skyler asked as Yang activated Ember Celica as Ruby jumped up and down, Weiss placed herself between her team and the others, she could already see Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch coming out.
"Skyler knows weapons… He's one of the best in Atlas… Besides my sister…"
Weiss said as Ozpin and Glynda reached the group as Skyler put his weapon on his back, Weiss was still surprised to know Skyler could wield a two-handed sword with 1 hand.
"Mr. Azur… If you would come with us… Ah, Ms. Rose, can you and your team also come with us?"
Ozpin asked as Weiss watched Yang looking at Skyler as he looked nervously at her, Weiss was wondering how long Yang would go without trying something with Skyler, the Soldier was an unmatched Huntsman… But he was still shy around people he didn't know… And with someone who made nothing but jokes and flirting, she would get under Skyler's skin within an hour.
"Yeah…"
Skyler said as the Atlesian Knights went to escort Skyler before Yang and Ruby stood in front of the droids.
"Ah, ah, we escort Skyler… I call dibs on walking him to the tower!"
Yang said as Skyler looked at Weiss for support as she sighed and led the Knights towards the tower.
5 minutes and Yang was already flirting with the most skilled and a soldier who even mentioning meant getting in trouble with General Ironwood on the spot…. Lovely.
(Ozpin's Office.)
2 of the Atlesian Knights stood guard outside the office as Skyler leaned against the window of the office with Yang and Ruby near him as Weiss was trying to stop herself from beating her head into the wall.
"Yang… Stop, he's here on important business…. Not to go on a date."
Weiss groaned out as Ruby continued to try and look at Centurion Lazuli as Skyler switched between looking at her and Yang who grinned at him every time, he looked at her.
"Relax, Ice Queen, I'm just playing with Skyler here… Though I can't help it if he looks cute…"
Yang said as Ozpin looked up from the papers on his desk as Skyler turned to look at Ozpin.
"General Ironwood said you'd already know what I was here for… I guess you already know what I'm here for…?"
Skyler asked as Ozpin took a sip of his coffee and looked at Skyler before clearing his throat.
"Yes, you are here to investigate the White Fang and their activities recently… Which started with their raid on the Snow Sparrow…"
Ozpin said as Skyler stepped forward and turned to Ruby, placing a hand on his back.
"You want to look at Centurion Lazuli, you can look at her… Just let me have the sword when you're done… I'm going to need her, ok?"
Skyler asked as Ruby nodded and took the Zweihander from him, nearly crashing to the ground from the weapon's weight.
"I'm here not just because they attacked an Atlesian Cargo Ship… But because they also stole the Prototype Atlesian Paladin 290s… And they've been ramping up activities in Vale since Mistral… So, since they just stole enough Dust to supply an invasion of Vale… And about a dozen High-Tech combat mechs, my bosses' kind of want that back… Or destroyed…"
Skyler joked as Ozpin stepped forward, clearly studying the boy, from what Ironwood told him, Skyler was mostly professional… But he did also joke… He was trying to be both… But the look in Skyler's eyes showed only a desire to stop the White Fang.
"And they also wanted you to attend Beacon for now… You graduated from Atlas Academy, correct?"
Ozpin asked as Skyler looked at the man and smiled as he turned around for a moment.
"It was called Alsius years ago… But yes, I had 2 years there and 2 years in the military… I still don't know why he wanted me for special missions at the age of 17… But all I know is that I've been graduated from Atlas… Doesn't make me perfect, Professor…"
Skyler said as Glynda looked at Skyler, trying to see if he was lying or something, while Atlesian soldiers were usually polite and honest, Black Ops soldiers… Vale to Vasco wasn't honest at all, they had to be to do their duties the best they knew how.
"I am willing to let you attend Beacon… But I have a test for you…. I am going to modify this test a little from the one most Beacon students deal with… But you will only have one partner…"
Skyler said as Yang stepped up with Skyler was about to speak up for a moment before Ozpin spoke up.
"Ms. Xiao Long, if you are so interested in Mr. Azur, then I assume you will have no problem helping him in this test? And Ms. Rose, since you and your team are the most available, I require your aid."
Ozpin said as Skyler blinked at this.
