Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 800- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Ozpin's office)
Skyler stood against the wall as Ozpin talked with Ruby, Ironwood, and the rest of team RWBY.
Skyler looked at Yang, the blonde brawler was still eyeing him with a smirk which Skyler returned.
"Captain, can you please come here for a moment?" Ironwood asked, Skyler, nodded and walked over before the Atlesian General spoke up.
"You are aware of the machines in Emerald Forest, the ones which drive the Grimm away from Beacon just like they do back in Atlas, right?" Ironwood asked, Skyler, nodded and crossed his arms before leaning on the table.
"The generators, yes, I am aware of the ones which we have a home. What about them, sir?" Skyler asked, Ironwood turned to Ozpin cleared his throat.
"They have started malfunctioning, and instead of driving the Grimm away from the school, they have begun to draw Grimm in. I was proposing an option with General Ironwood since he is in charge of Vale's defenses for now until after the tournament." Ozpin said before Ironwood turned to a hologram on the desk.
"Since there are two incidents, I proposed something that handled both problems. Ms. Rose, Ms. Schnee, and Ms. Belladonna, I want you to handle the problem in Emerald Forest while Professor Ozpin and Professor Port walk you through things." Ozpin stated before Ironwood turned to Skyler and Yang.
"Skyler, since you and Ms. Xiao Long work so well, I wanted you to handle an issue. We've been seeing more Grimm activity back in Mt. Glenn, we're trying to see if it's based on the assault on Vale last week, but I want both of you and the Blizzard to check on the issue and report back to me and Professor Oobleck on your findings." Ironwood said, Skyler and Yang shared a smirk.
"So, you want me and your special captain to go handle this problem alone with only a few soldiers backing both of us up?" Yang asked with a purr, Skyler rolled his eyes, his smile continued to tug at his lips.
"Who saved your sorry butt back at the train, Yang? I believe it just happened to be me." Skyler said, Yang, elbowed him in the arm as Ironwood smiled and looked between the duo.
"Yang, since you worked with Captain Skyler before, I know he feels comfortable working with you. I feel better sending two people instead of just having him handle this issue with a group of Atlesian soldiers. It is also part of the plan with Ozpin as we want to have both our schools work together. I'll keep an eye on both of you, but I want you to leave as soon as possible." Ironwood ordered, Skyler nodded and looked at the hologram.
He still saw White Fang symbols in the hologram, he was reminded of the attack in Vale.
"Have the White Fang been spotted in Mt. Glenn, sir? I know Roman is in our custody, but there could still be stragglers back there." Skyler asked, Yang, frowned, reminded of her fight with Neo.
"We don't know for sure, Captain, I've been hesitant to send search parties into Mt. Glenn due to the sheer amount of Grimm there. I would be happy if you could report back on them as well, Captain." Ironwood said, Skyler nodded, Saluted, and turned to walk away.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Get your sorry butt back here, Azur! You're not leaving without me!" Yang said as Skyler smirked and tried to duck into the elevator.
"Skyler!" Yang yelled as she leaped in at the last second, Ruby turned to Blake.
"I say they get together by the end of their mission." The Reaper stated, Weiss, sighed as Blake smiled at them.
(With Skyler and Yang)
"Skyler…" Yang growled, Skyler turned to her while continuing to walk away, more and more Atlesian soldiers and Atlesian Knight 200s marched to the dropship point to be transferred to Blizzard.
"Hmm? Did you want to say something, Yang? You could have spoken up before." Skyler said with amusement, Yang resisted the urge to punch him then drag him away.
He was becoming more casual around her, she simply grabbed his sleeve and dragged him towards the dropships. Skyler followed, both unaware of what would happen.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, this is going to be Grimm Eclipse, I also wanted to point out one key event in season 3 will happen in Grimm Eclipse and season 3 will be different. I also want to say Skyler and Yang will be together by season 3 and not season 4. The next chapter will be on next Saturday and will show Skyler and Yang heading to Mt. Glenn. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
