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, Blizzard)

"Take her to the medical bay, now!" Skyler ordered as he walked beside the gurney as it passed through the corridors of the warship.

"I can't believe she lost her entire arm…" Bran stated, Skyler turned as 2 Atlesian Soldiers closed the door before a medic walked in, and then the door was locked.

"It was Taurus, Lieutenant, we're turning back for Vale, tell the General that the White Fang are regrouping and they're possibly planning an attack on Vale," Skyler ordered, Bran nodded and left to get the general on the bridge.

"Sir, the last of the Dropships are flying back in now." An Atlesian soldier stated, Skyler nodded, and Bran returned a minute later.

"I thought you were going to get my uncle, Lieutenant…" Skyler stated, Bran, nodded and motioned for the Atlesian soldiers present to leave.

"I sent some of the troopers on the bridge to handle the message, sir. I wanted to ask about what we are going to do after this. Ms. Xiao Long is going to be out for a while we get her back to a proper hospital in Vale. I know you're going to leave me in charge of the ship while you're in Vale." Bran stated, Skyler, snorted at this.

"I want you to keep an eye on Vale like I'm going to be doing, Lieutenant… I think you and I both know what Taurus is capable of when he's on a warpath…" Skyler ordered, he turned back before looking over his shoulder at Bran.

"Now get us back to Vale, she lost an entire arm, even if it's not life-threatening. She's not going to be in any condition to fight. I don't want her going for revenge with one arm… I'll be working in my quarters. I want you back on the bridge and getting us back to Vale now, that's the last word I'll have on this, Bran." Skyler stated, he turned and walked away as Bran nodded and walked away towards the bridge.

(Skyler's office, 1 hour later.)

Skyler looked up from the item he was working on when 2 Atlas soldiers knocked on the door.

"Lieutenant Bran wishes to report that we have arrived in Vale and we're prepping a gunship for transport to one of Vale's hospitals." The soldier reported, Skyler nodded and grabbed his work, and stood up.

"The General is requesting to see you, sir. He said he'd have some of his best troops see to Ms. Xiao Long." The soldier stated, Skyler was silent but nodded a minute later.

"I understand. I need you to prep a dropship then, soldier, I'll go and talk to the General." Skyler ordered, the soldier saluted and left as Skyler sighed and looked at the item in his hands. He placed it in a satchel.

"I'm sorry, Yang… But I'm going to make Adam pay for this… Right after I find out what he was doing at Mt. Glenn." Skyler muttered before he turned and walked out the door.

His scroll buzzed, Skyler fished it out of his pocket as he entered the hangar and waited for another drop ship to get ready to travel to Beacon.

"Captain." The voice of Winter Schnee stated, Skyler's eyes widened as he looked at the Atlesian Specialist.

"Winter? I haven't heard from you since you were stationed back home, you need something?" Skyler asked, he stepped onto the dropship.

"General Ironwood said I'd be deployed to Vale; he said the White Fang are coming back. I heard Adam is in Vale, is it true?" Skyler heard from Winter, he sighed and nodded.

"Yes, I saw him vanish just as I ran in, Yang lost an arm to him, she's being taken to a hospital, I'm on my way to speak with General Ironwood," Skyler stated, Winter cursed and turned to say something off-screen.

"I'm going to be there in a week or so, I'm bringing more reinforcements into Vale, General Ironwood wants Vale locked down," Winter stated, Skyler, sighed and scratched at the back of his neck.

"You can't lock down Vale entirely, Winter… We'd scare people, the last thing I want is people looking up in fear at the fleet." Skyler stated.

He didn't get an answer, he sighed.

Author notes

Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know the chapter is short, the next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out I won't be posting a chapter this week. The next chapter will be by next Saturday, or next, next Saturday, and will show Skyler talking with Ironwood and Ozpin and what he made. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
