Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, Blizzard)

Yang found Skyler in his office, he didn't have his jacket on, and he was reloading and making sure Centurion Lazuli was sharp and ready for combat.

"Yang, how have you been? I haven't seen you since the flight began." Skyler said, he put down the sword and stood up. Yang sat down on the bed while the Atlesian Black Ops Captain turned to look at her.

"So…. You know it's just going to be us when we get there, right?" Yang asked, Skyler, looked at his dress shirt before looking at her with amusement.

"That, 2 platoons or so of Atlesian soldiers, and twice that in AK-200s and Atlesian Paladins-290s, yeah. You're not used to fighting on your own? I've been on missions alone most of the time, people who can't keep up with me usually slow me down." Skyler stated, Yang grinned.

"Oh, I can handle myself, handsome. I'm just wondering why you always seem to be running off to the next mission. I've never seen you just stop to get a burger or something." Yang said, Skyler, chuckled.

"Well, you're not the first person to ask that, Yang. I'm not entirely sure why I'm like that. I know my family is horrible and that's why I and my sister joined the military… But that's another story." Skyler said before taking a seat next to Yang on his bed.

"That dance is probably the first time I've done something so regular; it isn't that I hate being unable to go on missions, I do. I guess the best thing to say is because of how important I am on missions. I've been trained to do the dirty work the Atlesian military and council need to be done. I've killed White Fang Lieutenants, sabotaged their equipment, destroyed their camps." Skyler said, Yang, sighed and put 2 fingers to her nose.

"Dude, you need to get some time off…." Yang said before smirking, she had an idea, a very stupid and evil idea, but it was still an idea.

"Hey, Skyler?" Yang asked, Skyler, looked at her after looking up from his scroll which he pulled to him.

"Yeah?" Skyler asked, Yang, leaned on his shoulder and Skyler leaned his head slightly away in confusion.

"I have a bet. I want to see which of us can kill more Grimm on this mission: Me, who's a badass brawler, or you: A cool commando who's been trained to take out entire militaries alone if you have to, I'm guessing." Yang said, Skyler, looked at the blonde.

"Ok then. If I win, you have to…. Take 3 lessons of Atlesian Military training, and you have to refer to me as Captain when we talk until the end of the month." Skyler said, Yang nodded, but her smirk remained.

Skyler had an idea that he had just ticked off an Alpha Manticore and it summoned an entire horde of Grimm on him.

"Deal… But if I win, you have to… Be my boyfriend and go on a date with me. I don't care if you're the commander of all of Atlas, you're not turning into Blake and being cooped up in your office or room or whatever. You're not a cold and unfeeling android." Yang stated.

Skyler blushed, but he nodded and sat in his chair before typing at his scroll.

"Ok then, Yang. You need anything else from me besides making bets to try and amuse yourself. I do have soldiers to make sure they're ready, then I have reports to write to General Ironwood and then I need to make sure the Lieutenant can take over when I leave the ship." Skyler said, Yang, shrugged and got up.

"Nope, I'm going to make sure I have enough ammo for a horde of Grimm and tell Beacon we've made it to Mt. Glenn when we show up," Yang said before she left the room.

"Man, I just don't get that girl… She's just a fireball… Geez, if she went to Atlas, I have no idea how'd she ends up." Skyler stated before he turned back to his scroll and continued typing.

The attempt to hack the CTC tower hadn't gone unnoticed, he had technicians attempting to trace the signal back to whoever had sent it out in the first place.

"Whoever the hell sent this is Atlesian, only they would know the command codes or structuring data to hack into Atlesian androids who were just rolled off the manufacturing lines. I have a feeling a lot of people want Vale destroyed." Skyler said before putting his scroll down and grabbing his jacket and weapon.

He would have to put that on hold for now, he had to get things ready when they arrived. He didn't know how things would change when he arrived. And how his and Yang's relationship would change.

Author notes

Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know this was a short chapter, the next chapter will be longer. I want to point out that Yang is going to lose her arm during this arc. The next chapter will show Skyler and Yang fighting the Grimm and looking for the White Fang. Until next Saturday, Lighting Wolf out!

PS: I might make a Neo story and one other RWBY story soon.
