Chapter 11: Reunion

I do not own RWBY, RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P.) nor do I own any media that may appear in the story. I only own the OCs (Team CRCL, Team BLAK, Wolf Pack, and Sapphire) Remember to leave a Review. This chapter will contain a lot of songs, sorry not sorry. Enjoy!

Water crashed down onto the marble floor, steam flowed through the bathroom as Carmine showered off the infidelity from the night before. Carmine placed his forehead against the wall, the water hitting his back "How could I do that with Weiss? I'm with Blake and I love her so much, why would I do that? Lust? I need to find Blake and get my team back together ASAP." Carmine said to himself as he showered, turning off the water when he finished.

He stepped out onto the cold floor, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and sighed as he felt the scar on his cheek. He left the bathroom and walked over to his dresser, grabbing a pair of boxers out and slipping them on along with a pair of black gym shorts. There was a pair of black jeans sitting on the chair in the corner, he walked over and picked them up, slipping them on over his gym shorts.

There was a knock at the door as Carmine got dressed, he slipped on a black t-shirt and answered the door, he was greeted by a balding man with a mustache "Good morning, Master Sable, there appears to be someone here to see you, shall I send them to your room?" The man asked, Carmine nodded "Yeah and just call me Carmine, I don't do the formal stuff, ight?" Carmine asked the man who nodded "As you wish, Carmine. My name is Klein by the way, should you need anything I'll be around." Klein said as he left.

Carmine closed his door and continued to get dressed, slipping on his black/red high tops and his jewelry. He slipped his dog tags on around his neck and a silver watch onto his left wrist, he was about to grab a ring when there was another knock at the door. Carmine grabbed the handle and opened the door "Yo." He said as he opened the door, he was knocked to the ground and embraced in a hug "Bro, I'm so glad you're alive, we thought you were dead. Regalia actually started crying when you weren't moving." Laurel said as he hugged his leader, Carmine patted him on the head "It's good to see you too, Laurel. Hey Regalia, looking stunning as ever." Carmine said, complementing the purple haired medic, she blushed at his compliment "Thank you, Carmine. You look great for a guy who was blown up and thrown off a tower." She said as she closed the door behind her and pulled Laurel off of Carmine.

He stood up and fixed his clothes, adjusting his dog tags and grabbed his shoe that had come off. He sat down on his bed and slipped it back onto his foot "Hey, what size shoe do you wear anyway?" Laurel asked as he sat down in a chair across from Carmine. Carmine chuckled "16," he said as he watched their reaction "Holy shit!" Laurel exclaimed as Carmine finished fixing his shoes and sat up.

"Hey, do you know what happened to Celadon? No one knows where he is." Carmine asked as he stood up, Regalia shook her head "He was devastated when he saw them cart you off on a covered stretcher, he took off toward Vale before anyone could stop him. My guess would be he's somewhere in Vale." Regalia said as she sat down on his bed, looking around the room and taking in the sights. Carmine nodded as he sprayed on some cologne and turned around to face his teammates "So I fucked up guys, I had sex with Weiss." Carmine said, crossing his arms and looking at the floor.

Laurel and Regalia stood up, shocked "What!? How could you? Blake loves you and you do this to her?!" Regalia asked shaking Carmine "I had a moment of weakness, Blake ran away without checking to see if I was alive. Weiss was there for me when no one else was, her father hired me as her bodyguard." Carmine said shaking his head, Laurel sighed "We know, we read your letter, how else do you think we found you. You had a moment of weakness, do you regret it?" Laurel asked walking over to the rifleman.

"Hell yes I regret it, I love Blake and would never want to hurt her, I mean I called in an airstrike on myself to save her and Yang." Carmine said looking up at his team, Regalia walked over to a bookshelf in the corner of the room "Hey Regalia, whatcha looking for?" Carmine asked, Regalia scanned the bookshelf and pulled a large book out, bringing it over to Carmine and Laurel. "History of the White Fang, I remember reading about the former leader, he had the same last name as Blake." Regalia said as she flipped through the pages "Here it is: Ghira Belladonna, former leader of The White Fang and resides in… Menagerie. My bet is if she went anywhere, it's there." Regalia said pointing to the map, a small island resided in the bottom right-hand corner.

"That's great but how can I face her after what I've done? I don't deserve to have her, I only deserve to be alone because of my infidelity." Carmine said cradling his head, Regalia pulled him into her arms "Listen, she'll understand because she wasn't there for you in your time of need and Weiss was, the fact that you show so much remorse means that it was a heat of the moment kind of thing." Regalia said, comforting her leader. He stayed in her embrace for a moment before backing up "Thanks Regalia, it means a lot." Carmine said, thanking the healer.

"So, let's go find Celadon!" Laurel exclaimed the other two nodded in agreement. Carmine grabbed his Five-Seven off of the nightstand and clipped it in his waistline "Alright, before we go I have a surprise, it's in the docking bay." Carmine said, leading his team out of the room and down the hall. As they walked down the hall Weiss came out of her room "Oh hey Carmine, I see you got Laurel and Regalia back, that's good. Where you off to?" She asked the rifleman "We're going to go find Celadon, I need you to stay here, ok." Carmine said, Weiss nodded and walked down the hall.

Team CRL continued down the hall and entered the docking bay, Carmine led them to a stack of crates and containers. "Alright, load up and get ready to move. Small frames only, anything you can conceal." Carmine said, opening a box of weapons. Laurel pulled out an MX4 Storm and attached a red dot sight, ergo grip, and a suppressor, he slipped spare clips into his pockets. Regalia grabbed two Spectre M4's and attached suppressors to them, attaching them to her sides. Carmine picked out a CZ Scorpion EVO 3 and attached a suppressor, ergo grip, green laser sight, and Kobra red dot sight. He folded the stock and attached it to his side.

"Do you feel comfortable without your gear?" Laurel asked the rifleman who was wearing just his street clothes. "Yeah, that's why I said to load up with what you can conceal. Also, I'm sure they have a description of our weapons so we'll need to switch it up for the time being." Carmine said, grabbing spare clips and three backpacks. He handed two of them to his teammates and took the scorpion off of his hip and placing it in the backpack, the other two followed suit and put more clips into their packs along with some grenades and flashbangs.

"Alright, let's move out." Carmine said, gesturing them to an airship but Regalia stopped them "Wait, won't they know our faces too?" She said, Carmine stopped for a moment to think "What should we do?" He asked the medic who pointed to many crates of clothes "Hoodies, Balaclavas, and Bandanas." She said walking over to the crates.

"Since it's cold here, they have these crates of cold weather clothing for the family and family friends," Regalia said, opening a crate of jackets and another crate of balaclava ski masks and bandanas. "Well, that was convenient. It's like it was placed here to move a plotline along. Ha." Carmine said laughing as he pulled out a black hoodie, white balaclava, and a red bandana.

Carmine put on the hoodie, zipping it all the way up and pulling on the ski mask, covering his mouth with the bandana and pulling the hood up over his head "Man, I feel like I'm going to rob a bank." Laurel said with a chuckle as he fixed his red ski mask and white bandana. He wore a black hoodie with white stripes running down the arms, Regalia wore a white hoodie, black ski mask, and had a purple bandana on.

They put their packs back on and boarded the airship, Laurel and Regalia sat down in the back as Carmine gave the destination to the pilot "We need to go to the city of Vale, in the market district." Carmine told the pilot who nodded and fired up the engine of the bullhead. The airship lifted off of the ground and shot into the sky, banking left and circling around before flattening out, the ship screamed through the air as it raced toward Vale. It reached its destination quickly and landed in a clearing behind Vale, the pilot handed Carmine a flare gun "Pop a flare when you're ready to evac, I'm gonna take this bird up to Beacon where Atlas troops are." The pilot explained, Carmine nodded and slipped the gun into his back pocket.

Team CRL disembarked from the airship and pushed into Vale, the airship took off behind them and rocketed toward Beacon. Carmine and company broke through the tree line and entered the city of Vale, the city seemed to be a ghost town. Debris littered the ground and shattered windows filled the buildings, they moved into the street and scanned both ways before taking a left. They ran down the street, keeping close to the buildings and close to the ground as they moved to avoid being spotted.

Carmine stopped and pulled his teammates into a burnt out building, as they ducked behind a wall a white jeep with a red Beowolf on it drove by. "WF patrol, stay down." Carmine said in a hushed tone as it drove by and turned down a road, heading toward Beacon. CRL Company moved out of the building and watched as the jeep drove down the road, it suddenly exploded into a ball of fire, sending chunks of metal and rubber flying. The burning husk impacted the ground and burned, the sound of flesh burning could be heard emanating from the wreckage, the sound echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Carmine looked up to see an F-22 fly overhead and fly back toward Beacon "Hell Yeah. My defenses held." Carmine said happily as the jeep burned, CRL Company turned back around and made their way to a warehouse looking building. Carmine examined the door "Looks like they tried to force their way in, amateurs." Carmine said chuckling as he moved to the back of the building and checked the door "Hmm, still locked. Looks like they slashed the tires on the cargo truck, dicks." Carmine said shaking his head as he inserted a key and turned it, the sound of pistons retracting could be heard from the wall "The security system was activated, someone broke a window and entered the building. The door and windows were sealed around them." Carmine said as he opened the door and entered the building.

He flipped the circuit breaker and kicked on the lights "In the event someone breaks in, the building acts as a prison, not a death box cause that would be bad if one of us had to get in." Carmine explained as the rest of CRL Company came inside, Laurel closed the door behind them and locked it. Carmine opened the back door, and entered the living area "Welcome to Wolf Pack, Wolves! Sound off! Carmine!" Carmine yelled but was met with silence, he lowered his head "Yeah, we're all here, at least not physically." Carmine said as a tear formed in his eye but he wiped it away.

Footsteps could be heard coming from the armory, Carmine pulled out his Five-Seven and walked forward, Laurel and Regalia drew their guns and readied them behind Carmine who was stacked up by the door. Laurel patted him on the shoulder and he threw the door open, charging in and pointing their guns around the room. Their sights came to rest on a man with green hair and a scraggly beard "Don't shoot!" The man announced with his hands up, Carmine flipped on the flashlight and shined it in the man's face.

"Celadon?" Carmine asked questioningly as he lowered his pistol, the man lowered his hands "Carmine?" The man asked back, Carmine pulled him into a bear hug "I missed you man! Don't ever run off like that." Carmine said as he started to tear up, Celadon was in tears "Man, I thought you were dead. You weren't moving after you fell from the tower and I thought that was it, you were done." Celadon said as he cried into Carmine's shoulder.

Laurel turned on the lights and lit up the area "Yeah, I broke through the window in your room and these shutters came down behind me as I leaped in. Luckily, it didn't confine me to one room so I didn't starve to death." Celadon said with a chuckle, Carmine walked into his room and flipped the light on, looking around the room. He walked over to some monitors and flipped them on, the screens flickered to life and showed the outside of the base. "Alright Celadon, get cleaned up and ready, we're moving in two hours." Carmine said as he entered the armory again.

Celadon nodded and went to the bathroom, Carmine and Laurel started to collect ammo and weapons. Carmine pulled out a large crate and opened it, Carmine and Laurel loaded it up with assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, and shotguns, they lined the bottom with boxes of ammo and magazines.

Regalia looked around the headquarters, noting all the articles and accommodations on the wall "I never noticed all these newspaper articles the last time we were here." She said as she read one to herself "Local mercenaries stop bank robbery; hostages saved. A mercenary group known as Wolf Pack stop an attempted bank robbery by outgunning the would-be robbers, the criminals were apprehended and turned over to Vale Police. Wolf Pack declined a reward from the Mayor stating "We were just doing our job." Said the leader named Onyx."

"Wow, your brother was a very noble man." Regalia said as she rejoined the two men loading weapons into a crate, Celadon exited the bathroom and entered the armory. He had shaved off his beard and cleaned him up "There's the Celadon I know!" Carmine said happily, bumping fists with the sniper. Carmine put the lid back on the crate, locking it in place and with Laurels help, carried it to the back door. Regalia readied her Spectres and Celadon grabbed an AK-74 off the rack, loading a full mag and pulling back the slide "Ready" Celadon said as he slipped on his vest, tightening the sides.

Regalia opened the door and escorted the two men carrying the crate onto the loading dock, Celadon closed the door and locked it, resealing the HQ. The pistons kicked into place and sealed the door shut, he picked his rifle up and followed the group as they moved behind the buildings toward the exfil location. They turned a corner into an alley and came upon a horrifying sight, civilians lay dead against a wall, bullet holes and splatter patterns indicated they were executed. "Those poor souls, they didn't stand a chance." Carmine said as they moved past the decaying corpses, they picked up speed in hopes of getting away as fast as possible.

They moved into the street and ran toward the forest, their light gear clanging and shuffling as they moved. "So, why are you guys wearing those hoodies and bandanas? Are we robbing a bank?" Celadon asked with a chuckle, Carmine shook his head "Regalia's idea, we were trying to stay undercover." The rifleman said as they ran down the street, they turned the corner and came to a stop "Shit WF patrol, twelve o'clock." Carmine said, they slipped into an alley and sat down the crate.

Carmine and Laurel withdrew their submachine guns from their backpacks and pulled back the receiver bolt, chambering a round. "Four foot soldiers, two with assault rifles and two with LMGs." Regalia said as she peeked around the corner. CRCL Company stepped into the street and raised their guns, focusing on their targets. The WF turned to face them as they opened fire, the bullets ripped through the WF and dropped them to the ground, blood leaked from their bodies and pooled around them. The barrels of their guns smoked as they lowered them, the spent cartridges rolled on the ground.

Carmine folded the stock on the EVO, slipping it back into his backpack. Carmine and Laurel picked the crate up again and moved back into the street, Celadon covered the rear as they moved. They moved over the dead patrol and past the blockade, CRCL Company pushed into the forest and moved through the trees into a clearing. Carmine withdrew the flare gun and fired off the flare, into flew into the air and exploded into a red light.

Within minutes, a bullhead flew over the trees and circled around before landing, the back opened up and CRCL Company ran inside. The door sealed behind them as the VTOL took off into the sky, the bullhead flattened out as it flew across the sky, they reached Atlas in under an hour. The airship descended into the Schnee Docking Bay, the wheels touched down onto the ground as it landed, Carmine and Laurel carried the large crate out of the bullhead and sat it on a cart along with two large crates of dust.

Carmine and Celadon pushed the cart into the main hall, making their way to his room. Whitley stopped them as they turned the corner "What's in the crate, Carmine?" Whitley asked snobbishly, Carmine smirked, "Oh you know, Weapons, Dust, your mother." He said, Whitley looked agitated "What's wrong, Shitley? Can't take a joke?" Carmine asked as he pushed the cart to his room "You better watch yourself, you troll." Whitley said growling. Carmine pushed the handcart into his room and unloaded the crates, setting them against the wall by the closet "That should do for now. Now, I think we should go rehearse." Carmine said, leading his team out of his room and into the hallway.

As they walked down the hall, Carmine explained the situation to his team, catching Celadon up with everything. "Wow, what are you going to do when you see Blake again? I know she ran off without checking to see if you were alive but she knows you're strong and can withstand a lot more than a typical huntsman in training. No matter what happens, we'll be here for you." Celadon said, the others nodded in agreement as they entered a performance room outfitted with everything needed for a band performance.

Carmine took his position at the front and grabbed an electric guitar, Laurel took up an electric guitar and clicked on the amp, the electrical feedback echoed through the room, Regalia grabbed a bass and clicked on its amp, Celadon sat down at the drums in the back and tested each piece, everything checked out. Carmine tuned his guitar, turning the frets on the head of the guitar and lightly strumming as he made them perfect. "Now, we'll have an orchestra there to play the parts that we can't like if we need a violin or something." Carmine said as they readied themselves. Celadon clicked the drumsticks together as he counted up "One, Two, Three, Four!"

*4 Hours Later*

Carmine walked down the hall with his team after a successful practice, they entered his room and were greeted by Weiss who was standing with her hands behind her back "Hello Carmine, Regalia, Celadon, and Laurel. I hope you're well, I just wanted to wish you luck and drop off this formal wear for you." Weiss said as she gestured to three suits and a beautiful purple dress that hung on the wall. "Thank you Weiss, we greatly appreciate it." Regalia said, bowing to the heiress. "Well, I'll leave you to get dressed." She said, moving over to Carmine "See you tonight." She purred, pulling his head down and kissing him.

There was a stunned silence as Weiss left the room "Uh… So that happened." Laurel said, breaking the silence. Carmine shook it off and walked over to the formal wear "Regalia, you can take the bathroom to get dressed." He said handing her the purple dress and a holster, she looked confused "Just in case. We being hunted at this point, you can never be too safe." Carmine said, she nodded in agreement and entered the bathroom. The guys got dressed, they all had the same all-black suit, the only difference being their ties, Carmine's was red, Celadon's was green, and Laurel's was blue. Carmine handed them holsters and a pistol, they attached them on their backs and secured the pistols.

Carmine grabbed his Ithica 37 and attached it to his lower back underneath his blazer, Celadon checked the breakaway clip and secured it. He grabbed a few 12 gauge rounds and tossed them into his blazer pocket, buttoning it closed. Regalia stepped out in her dress, her hair out of its usual ponytail and running down her back, the guys couldn't help but stare "Good lord, you look amazing." Carmine said, complimenting his teammate. She blushed slightly "Thank you, sir. You look good yourself, as do the rest of you." Regalia said as she walked into the main room and grabbed a pistol from the box, loading a clip, racking the slide, chambering the round, and holstering it behind her.

She put on a pair of 6" black sneaker wedges, tying the black laces and walking around the room. CRCL Company finished getting ready and made their way to the ballroom, entering to a wall of stares and silence. Carmine raised his hand "Hey, how's everyone doing? That's good." Carmine said, moving toward the stage with his team, they stepped onto the stage and took their places like they rehearsed earlier.

Carmine cleared his throat to get everyone's attention "Hey there, we're tonight's entertainment. We're Team CRCL from Beacon, we were there at the fall and we greatly appreciate what you're doing." Carmine said, the crowd started to clap as the lights dimmed down, six lights kicked on and illuminated the stage.

(Carmine – CR, Celadon – CL, Laurel – L, Regalia – R)

Ready, Set, Go – Royal Tailor (Changed a few words so it's not as gospelly.)

Laurel started to play away on his guitar as Celadon kept the beat on the drums, Regalia played along as well.

CR: Lived so long with my eyes on me. Too deaf to hear, too blind to see. Oh, broken hearts on the city streets but I can hear that you're calling me to Be the hope, be the light, be the love Right now, starting right now.

CR: Broken hearts on the city streets but I can hear that you're calling me to Be the hope, be the light, be the love Right now, starting right now.

CR, L: Oh, you put my life in motion Your love makes me want to give my all Ready set go Ready set go oh So no, I'm not holding back anymore Like an engine ready to explode I'm ready set go Ready set go oh, oh.

As the song ended the crowd cheered, Carmine thanked them as he picked up a guitar, placing the strap around his neck and shoulder. Carmine began to play as Celadon worked the kick drum.

Fantasy – Steel Panther

Cr: City nights, summer breeze makes you feel alright Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite See the girl with the dresses so tight (L: Give your love) Give you love if the price is right. Black or white in the streets there's no wrong and no right. No right!

Cr: Other side, buy your kicks from the man in white Feels alright, powder pleasure in your nose tonight See the men paint their faces and cry (L: Like some girl) Like some girl it makes you wonder why, City life sure is cool But it cuts like a knife, it's your life.

Cr: So forget all that you see It's not reality it's just a fantasy. Can't you see, what this crazy life is doing to me

Cr, L, Cl: Life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life. My life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life.

Cr: Let's see you livin' now!

Laurel stepped forward and shredded out a solo, his body moved with the guitar as he played.

Cr: So forget all that you see, It's not reality it's just a fantasy. Can't you see, what this crazy life is doing to me.

Cr, L, Cl: Life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life? My life is just a fantasy Can you live this fantasy life.

Carmine and Laurel stood back to back as they played their guitars, keeping pace with each other as the song came to an end. The crowd cheered but Jacques didn't look pleased, Carmine sat down the guitar and walked to the microphone "We're going to take a fifteen-minute break and we'll be back." Carmine said before hopping off the stage.

He walked over to Weiss and her father "So, what did you think?" Carmine asked Weiss who looked excited "That was awesome!" She said hugging Carmine, Jacques grabbed her arm "What do you think you're doing? He is your bodyguard and nothing more!" Jacques scolded her, she looked down to the ground "Yes sir." She said defeated, Carmine stepped forward "Who the hell do you think you are? She can do as she pleases, with whoever she wants." Carmine said, poking Jacques in the chest.

Jacques narrowed his eyes "Don't you have a performance to do?" Jacques asked with a growl, Carmine turned around and walked back to the stage. He faced the crowd and shot a wink to Weiss who blushed, Jacques growled in anger "Who does he think he is?!" Jacques said through his teeth. "This next song goes out to Weiss Schnee." Carmine said with a smirk.

L: This is how we rock it, rock it, It's about to go down. This is how we rock it, rock it, rock it, It's about to go down.

As the song ended, the crowd went ballistic, the girls in the crowd were grabbing at Carmine and Laurel's legs, they had to back up "Holy shit, I didn't expect this kind of reaction. I just did that song to piss off Jacques." Carmine said with a chuckle. Weiss walked to the stage as Carmine was hoping off "Carmine, that was awesome! The crowd loved it." Weiss said hugging the rifleman who sighed "Yeah, I just wish Blake was here to see it." Carmine said, looking down. She grabbed his hand "Hey, you'll see her again. Don't worry, okay." She said, comforting him.

He smiled down at her "Thanks Weiss, it means a lot." Carmine said, pulling her into a hug. "Why don't you perform a song for her and I'll record it so you can show her next time you see her." Weiss suggested, Carmine nodded "That's a good idea, we'll get ready." He said, thanking her and running back to the stage. He stepped in front of the mic and spoke into it "We're going to switch things up real quick." He looked over to Weiss who had her scroll out, she gave him a thumbs up. He spoke up again "I want to dedicate this song to my girlfriend, Blake. Wherever you are, just know I love you." Carmine said as he picked up his guitar and began to play

Without You – Breaking Benjamin

Cr: Search for the answers I knew all along I lost myself, we all fall down. Never the wiser of what I've become Alone I stand a broken man All I have is one last chance I won't turn my back on you Take my hand, drag me down If you fall then I will too And I can't save what's left of you.

Cr, L: Say something new I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you. There's nothing left to lose, The fighting never ends I can't face the dark without you.

Cr: Swallow me under and pull me apart I understand, there's nothing left. Pain so familiar and close to the heart No more, no less, I won't forget Come back down, save yourself I can't find my way to you And I can't bear to face the truth.

Cr, L: Say something new I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you. There's nothing left to lose, The fighting never ends I can't face the dark without you.

Cr: I wanted to forgive, I'm trying to forget Don't leave me here again. I am with you forever, the end.

Cr, L: Say something new I have nothing left I can't face the dark without you. There's nothing left to lose, The fighting never ends I can't face the dark without you.

Cr: Holding the hand that holds me down I forgive you, forget you, the end Holding the hand that holds me down I forgive you, forget you, the end.

The crowd cheered as they finished playing, Carmine had a single tear running down his cheek but wiped it away as Laurel started playing again.

Like I'm Gonna Lose You – Meghan Trainor

R: I found myself dreaming In silver and gold Like a scene from a movie That every broken heart knows We were walking on moonlight And you pulled me close Split second and you disappeared And then I was all alone. I woke up in tears With you by my side A breath of relief And I realized No, we're not promised tomorrow.

R: So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you Like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when When we'll run out of time. So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you.

Cr: In the blink of an eye Just a whisper of smoke You could lose everything The truth is you never know So I'll kiss you longer, baby Any chance that I get I'll make the most of the minutes And love with no regrets. Let's take our time To say what we want Use what we got Before it's all gone 'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow.

R, Cr: So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you Like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'Cause we'll never know when When we'll run out of time So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you.

L, R, Cr: So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you Like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'Cause we'll never know when When we'll run out of time So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you.

When they finished, the crowd cheered and whistled, some of them had tears in their eyes. Carmine looked back and saw Regalia smiling as the crowd cheered, he gestured her forward. She came to the front of the stage as the cheers grew louder. Celadon and Laurel joined them at the front, Carmine grabbed the microphone "Alright, a quick break and then the finale!" Carmine said excitedly, the crowd cheered.

Carmine left the stage and joined Weiss as she was admiring a painting "Hey it's Beacon. Though it is missing the hole in the side of dorms, it's spot on." Carmine said with a chuckle, Weiss giggled "You just didn't know when to hold back. I'm surprised Jaune is alive after that." Weiss said, turning to face the rifleman but was interrupted by a man next to the painting. "It's beautiful, you two match." The man said, Carmine and Weiss both turn and thank the man at the same time, shocking him "I was talking to the girl, buddy." The man said, Carmine stared at him "I'm not your buddy, guy." Carmine said in a monotone, the man rolled his eyes and resumed chatting up Weiss.

"The name is Henry Marigold." Henry said extending his hand, Weiss shook it lightly "Weiss Schnee." She said politely, they looked back at the painting ignoring Carmine "What? Am I chopped liver? I just gave the performance of a lifetime." Carmine said, throwing his hands up and walking away. "So, you thinking about buying it?" Henry asked her as he leaned against a rail, Weiss shook her head "No, I don't think so." She said, he chuckled a bit "Yeah, kinda pricey for a painting." Carmine walked up behind him "It's to raise money." Weiss said, Henry laughed a bit "Oh really? For what?" Henry asked, Carmine tapped him on the shoulder "For Beacon, it was attacked. A lot of people died 3 months ago, I lost two friends that day, asshole." Carmine said, staring into his soul.

"Get Out." Weiss said in a serious tone, Henry looked shocked "What?" He asked confused, Carmine grabbed his shoulders "She said GET OUT." Carmine said again as he enunciated the last two words before handing him off to Laurel who took him out of the building. "Thanks Carmine, he was such a dick." Weiss said, leaning her head against his chest, he wrapped his arms around her. "Mmm, you're so warm." Weiss said as she nuzzled her face into his chest, he ran his fingers through her white hair. "Now, don't get too attached, Carmine." Weiss said in a somewhat sad voice. Jacques looked over and saw Weiss with her head on Carmine's chest, the white-haired man squinted his gaze as he looked on with disdain "That DOG thinks he's worthy of her attention, after what he and the other dogs did to my Gala all those years ago." Jacques said to himself and the small group of rich assholes he was schmoozing with. Carmine placed his head on hers "I know, we'll figure this out when we cross that bridge, as for now, let's finish this night off with a bang." Carmine said as he let Weiss go and climbed back up onto the stage with Regalia, Laurel, and Celadon.

As they finished, the lights cut out and the crowd cheered, chanting "Charcoal! Charcoal!" They walked to the front of the stage and bowed, Carmine grabbed the microphone and shouted into it "Thank you Atlas, Good Night!" CRCL Company left the stage and exited the ballroom. Team CRCL walked down the hallway "Man that was so fun!" Carmine said as he loosened up his tie, the others nodded in agreement "Yeah it was! The crowd loved us." Laurel said, the others agreed as they reached Carmine's room.

As they walked inside, Carmine removed the shotgun from his back and placed it on his nightstand, tossing his jacket onto the bed "Alright, tomorrow we head for Menagerie to find Blake." Carmine said, addressing his team, the cheered in response "Yeah, let's go get her!" Celadon cheered.

Carmine smiled "I'm glad to see you're on board." Carmine said, his team looked at him blankly for a moment "Carmine, we'll always have your back, no matter what." Laurel said, Regalia and Celadon nodded in agreement. Regalia clapped her hands together "Alright, let's get to sleep, we got a big day tomorrow." She said as she grabbed her clothes and headed for the bathroom to change, emerging later in purple pajama bottoms and a black shirt. Carmine hopped in bed as the others got into makeshift beds "Night guys!" Carmine said as he turned off the lights.

*The Next Day*

Laurel shook Carmine awake "Wake up, we got to go if we want to make it to Menagerie by noon." Laurel said as Carmine slowly pulled himself out of bed "Alright, let me get ready." Carmine said tiredly as he shuffled to the bathroom, he emerged thirty minutes later refreshed and ready. He threw his gear on and prepped his holsters, loading his sidearms into them. He attached his pistol grip shotgun to his lower back along with a serrated machete in a sheath attached to his backpack that held his munitions.

He finished tying his boots and stood up, grabbing his gas mask with the red visor and hooking it to his holster. His team finished their prepping and stood before Carmine, weapons in hand and ready to go: Regalia with her Honey Badger and UMP-45, Laurel with his Stryker, and Celadon with his M107. Carmine walked over to Celadon "I'm glad to see you kept it protected." Carmine said, addressing the rifle. Celadon nodded and adjusted the rifle's position "Yeah, I would never let anything happen to it." He said, resting the barrel on his shoulder.

Carmine led them out of the room and into the hall, making their way to the air docks. They moved from a walk to a jog, picking up speed as they turned a corner. They came to a stop as Weiss walked out of her room, Carmine tripped on the carpet as he slid to a stop, falling to her feet with a thud. She giggled as he picked himself up "Falling for me, Carmine?" She asked seductively, Carmine brushed himself off "Eh, maybe. We're going to Menagerie to find Blake." Carmine said as he fixed his IBA, Weiss's eyes went wide "Menagerie?! That is mainly Faunus, you might be killed on sight." She said worriedly, Carmine waved her off "Weiss, it's us we're talking about, we'll be fine." Carmine said with his hands on his hips, Weiss hugged him "Just be careful." She said as she squeezed him tightly.

Carmine rubbed her back slowly as he held her in his arms "Hey, we'll be fine. Don't worry, I'll see you when we get back, with or without Blake." Carmine said hugging her, she let go and walked down the hall. They resumed their jog to the docks where they boarded an airship, Carmine spoke to the pilot "Menagerie, as fast as possible." Carmine said, handing him four hundred lien. The pilot nodded and fired up the engines, the airship lifted off of the ground and shot into the sky, breaking through the clouds and circling around the main tower. The ship picked up speed as it made its way southeast toward the small island.

"Alright guys, we got about two hours before we land, I advise getting some rest." Carmine said as he started loading his weapons, Laurel addressed the elephant in the room "Are we expecting a "warm" welcome?" Laurel asked with air quotes, Carmine shrugged "It's better to be safe than sorry." Carmine said as he slapped a magazine into his Scar. He pulled out his 500 and opened the reel, inserting red tipped rounds into the cylinders, he closed the reel and reinserted it into his holster. He opened his bag and pulled a red box, opening the lid to reveal a box of red grenades, he took out three and passed the box down, everyone took out three leaving the box empty.

Two hours passed as they rested in the back, the pilot came over the intercom "I can't get permission to land, prepare for HALO jump." The intercom cut off as Carmine stood up and handed each member of his team a parachute "Alright, when the light turns green jump, watch your altitude and pull the cord at 2000 feet. With luck, we won't show up on a radar." Carmine said as he slipped on the parachute.

He put their backpacks into a box and closed the lid, he fastened the boxes parachute and pushed it out the back, the box plummeted toward the ground and the parachute shot open. The box started blinking a blue light as it landed on the ground, Carmine got a running start and leaped out the back, his hood blew back as he flew towards the ground. Celadon, Laurel, and Regalia followed him down toward the ground, they rocketed toward the ground while closely monitoring their gauge. Carmine ripped the cord causing the parachute to open up, catching the wind and slowing his descent, he landed in a clearing in the woods and rolled to a stop.

He pulled the straps of the parachute off of his shoulders, letting it fall to the ground as he pulled out his Scar and secured the area around him. His team landed behind him and did as he did, they pushed to the forest following the sound of a beacon. They came upon the box and removed the lid, extracting their bags before moving toward the main city. "Remember, try to avoid drawing attention to yourself, keep your weapons down and don't fire unless fired upon. We don't have backup like I used to have during the Siege of Vale or the Battle in Forever Fall." Carmine said which caused his team to look at him "The Battle of What?!" Celadon asked in a hushed tone, Carmine sighed "Remind me to tell you the story later. For now, let's just move on." Carmine said as he ended the conversation.

As they broke through the tree line and pushed into the town, they holstered their weapons "Act natural, if they suspect us, run." Carmine said as he moved through the streets, people moved out of the way while some stared at the heavily armed, masked man walking through the street. As they walked, Carmine couldn't shake the feeling of being followed "Look alive, I think we're being followed." Carmine said as he turned into an alley, his team followed behind him.

A hooded figure turned down the alley following them as they walked, as they turned the corner they were cut off by two more hooded figures. CRCL drew their weapons and chose their targets "What do you want?" Carmine shouted, a figure stepped forward "We could ask you the same thing, human." The hooded figure hissed, "We're here to find someone, we have no ill will towards you." Carmine said, the snake Faunus waved him off "Bullshit, we know who you are Carmine Sable, killer of Faunus." He said with venom, Carmine chuckled "I take it you're with the White Fang, your brothers attacked us at Beacon in case you don't know." Carmine said, the hooded figure scoffed "You're lying! You just kill Faunus and innocent people."

Carmine sighed "Did the White Fang tell you that? Did they tell you that they were working with humans." Carmine said, shifting his weight to one leg. "It doesn't matter, I've stalled you long enough." The snake Faunus said as Carmine's teammates were apprehended, before he could react Carmine was knocked out. He woke up in a daze as he was thrown onto the ground, he was pulled to his knees as his teammates were put on their knees beside him. A hooded man with fox ears walked in front of him "Now you will answer to the Island chieftain." The Faunus said as he approached a large door and knocked on it with the knocker.

A woman answered the door, Carmine could barely see as he regained consciousness "Ghira!" She called into the house, a large man with black hair came to the door "Yes, what is it?" He asked, the fox Faunus fumbled with his words "We found these humans in town, we brought them here to see what should be done with them. They were heavily armed, the one in black is Carmine the destroyer." The Faunus said, Carmine started laughing "That's the name you gave me? That is too good." Carmine said as he laughed. The snake Faunus walked over and kicked him in the gut "Shut up, dog!" The Faunus hissed, Carmine bent over as the kick knocked the air out of him.

As Carmine was bent over, he heard a familiar voice "Dad, who is it?" Blake asked, walking outside. "It's nothing Blake, go back inside." Ghira said, but Blake didn't move "What is the White Fang doing here!?" She asked angrily, Ghria calmly spoke "This is Corsac and Fennec Albain. They represent the White Fang here in Menagerie now." He said gesturing to the hooded men, Fennec stepped forward "Yes, we were just bringing these human intruders to his attention." Fennec said gesturing to Team CRCL, Blake stepped down the stairs as she noticed Celadon, Laurel, and Regalia on their knees next to a fourth person who was face down in the dirt "Carmine? Carmine is that you?" She asked the man lying face down.

Carmine sat up on his knees while still looking down "Hey there, little kitty." Carmine said softly, looking up slowly. Blake was speechless as she stood there covering her mouth, Ghira spoke up "Blake, do you know these humans?" He asked, Blake fell to her knees "Carmine, I'm so sorry I left you, I should have made sure you were alive." She said as she started to cry, but Carmine tried to comfort her "Shhh Hey it's okay, I understand. I would have ran too if I saw Adam, that dude has to wear a mask because he's so ugly." Carmine said jokingly, Blake chuckled through her tears.

"Blake, who's this man?" Ghira asked, Blake turned around "Dad, this is Carmine Sable, he's my boyfriend." Blake said helping Carmine to his feet, Ghira looked shocked "My daughter is dating a human?!" Ghira walked over to Carmine and pulled him close to him, staring into the red visor. "HA HA! That is wonderful!" Ghira laughed, pulling Carmine into a bear hug, everyone looked shocked "Fennec, untie them!" Ghira demanded, the hooded figures cut off CRCLs binds, freeing them. "But sir, he killed a lot of White Fang!?" Corsac exclaimed confused, Ghira let Carmine go "I know what he has done and he did it for two reasons: He was paid to do it, while I don't agree with it, it's what happened, and also the White Fang were posing a threat to civilians. We want change the human's view of us but not at the expense of innocent lives." Ghira said.

Carmine cleared his throat "May I have my weapons back?" He asked the snake Faunus who hissed at him before handing him his bag with his guns, the other hooded figures gave Celadon, Laurel, and Regalia back their weapons. Laurel snatched his shotgun back and gritted his teeth as he placed it on his back, they stepped forward to stand with Carmine who was fixing his wrists "Sir, we are Team CRCL of Beacon. You have Celadon, Laurel, and Regalia." Carmine said as he introduced his team, Celadon saluted, Laurel nodded, and Regalia gave a curtsy. Ghira slammed his fist onto his chest "It is an honor to meet you all, you're regarded as heroes of Beacon, according to Blake and the other one." Ghira said as he shook each of their hands and led them inside.

Celadon, Laurel, and Regalia went inside with Ghira leaving Blake and Carmine out front, Carmine turned his attention to the hooded figures "So which one of you is going to go running back Adam?" Carmine asked cracking his knuckles but Blake stopped him "Just let them go, we have much to talk about." Blake said taking his hand in hers, he looked back to them "You come back, you better be ready to square up cause we throwing dukes." Carmine said as he followed her inside, shutting the door behind them.

Blake guided him into a side room and shutting the door behind them, locking it. "Man, this is a nice place your parents got here." Carmine said looking around, unaware that his girlfriend was getting ready to pounce. Blake pushed him to the ground and straddled his waist "I've missed you so much, Carmine. I need you right now." She said seductively, pulling at the bottom of her shirt but Carmine stopped her "Blake wait, I need to tell you something." He said setting her down on the floor, she tilted her head "What's up, Carmine?" She asked rubbing his back, he pulled his gas mask off and sat it on the table next to him.

"Blake, I messed up. I was weak and hurt that you ran away, I was hurt that I thought you didn't love me anymore. I wished I had died from the fall off the tower." Carmine said with tears in his eyes, Blake grabbed his hand "Carmine, talk to me. What's wrong? You can tell me." She said trying to comfort her boyfriend, Carmine wiped away his tears "Okay, look I… I had sex with Weiss. She would stay with me because I'd have these PTSD flashbacks to the fall of Beacon and after a day of intense combat, the tension had reached a breaking point. The next morning I was riddled with so much guilt, I didn't think I deserved to see you again." Carmine said, hanging his head in shame.

Blake let go of his hand and covered her mouth "Carmine… Do you still love me?" She asked softly, he looked into her amber eyes "More and more each day." He said in a soft tone, she grabbed his hand "Then I forgive you, I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me the most." She said in a happy tone of voice, Carmine hugged her "I love you, Blake." He said, she wrapped her arms around him "I love you too, Carmine." Blake said, kissing him on the lips. "Did she say anything the morning after about us?" Blake asked curiously, Carmine chuckled "She said she didn't mind sharing." Carmine said, laying back down on the floor.

Blake straddled his waist again "Me either." She said as she started kissing him and biting his neck. Carmine grabbed her shoulders "Wait what?! What did you say?" Carmine asked confused, Blake giggled "I don't mind sharing either. Think of it as a harem or something. I mean you did call yourself 'Carmine Sable: Slayer of Grimm and Women.' " She said quoting him, Carmine stared in disbelief "You are okay with this?" He asked confused still, she kissed him on the neck "Whatever gets you in my pants the fastest. But yes, I'm fine with it, hell I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it." Blake said blushing, Carmine was internally celebrating 'Fuck Yes! WOOHOO! Hey! We want some PUSSY!' Carmine cheered in his head.

*Medium NSFW*

Blake sat up and pulled her shirt off, revealing a black lacy bra to her boyfriend, Carmine placed his hands on her waist and lightly squeezed. She let out a light moan and started kissing his neck again, as she leaned down he unclipped her bra and pulled it off. She sat up as he placed his hands on her breasts, massaging her breasts and pinching her nipples. She arched her back in ecstasy as he caressed her body, Carmine pulled her down and kissed her neck. He lightly blew into her ear, causing her to moan louder as she bit his neck, drawing blood. He reached up and lightly caressed her cat ears "Damn it, just take me already!" Blake begged, Carmine stood up and picked her up, placing her on the table. He pulled her close to him "Get ready, this gon' be fun." Carmine said as unfastened his belt.

*End NSFW*

Carmine pulled his pants back up and fastened the belt, pulling on his hoodie and IBA. He handed Blake her bra which she reattached as she was pulling up her pants "Thanks, that was so fun." She said as she pulled her shirt down, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in close "I'm here for you, whatever you need, whenever you need it. Just ask." Carmine said, planting a kiss on her lips, she stared into his crimson eyes and he gazed into her amber eyes, they told him 'I'm yours, now and forever.' He smiled "I love you, Blake Belladonna." Carmine said holding her in his arms, she smiled back at him "And I love you, Carmine Sable." She replied with a purr in her voice.

There was a knock at the door "Blake? Is everything okay? We heard a lot of noise." Ghira called from the other side of the door, Blake shuffled to get her stuff fixed "Uh… Yeah, he was just showing me a video from Vale. We'll be out in a minute." Blake called, handing Carmine his revolver, he took it and holstered it on his left side. Carmine walked over to the door and unlocked it, opening it up to the rest of the house "Hey there, Ghira. No need to worry, your daughter is in good hands." Carmine said nodding his head, Ghira wrapped his arm around Carmine "So tell me son, is it true you took on two teams at once at Beacon?" Ghira asked intrigued, Carmine chuckled "Yeah, I had to prove a point that rules and I don't get along, since I proved myself, I didn't have to wear a uniform ever." Carmine said rubbing his head.

Ghira laughed "So you're a rebel? Makes sense, you don't seem like one who conforms." The large man said heartily, slapping Carmine on the back. They walked into the living room where Celadon, Laurel, Regalia, and Sun were talking to Blake's mom "This is great tea, Mrs. Belladonna. Thank you for your hospitality." Regalia said bowing her head. Everyone turned their attention to Carmine as he walked in, his gear occasionally clanging around as he sat down on the floor, Blake sat down next to him. "Sun? When did you get here?" Carmine asked curiously, Sun nearly choked on his tea "Uh… Well you see… it's funny… uh…" Sun fumbled with his words but Blake stopped him "He came after me, saying that I needed to stop running, when I refused he said too bad and he ain't leaving. He's been looking after me." She explained, Sun exhaled a sigh of relief.

Carmine seemed to stare at Sun for what seemed like years to the blonde Faunus "Thank you, Sun, for keeping her safe." Carmine said as he nodded to the blonde Faunus who smiled in return.

Carmine sipped from his cup as they chatted away about nothing in particular until there was a bang at the door "We want the human!" Someone yelled into the house from outside, Carmine ran to the front door with the others behind him. He opened the door to see a group of hooded Faunus standing out front, a large figure stepped forward "We want the human known as Carmine." The figure demanded, Carmine chuckled as he stepped down the stairs "I told you if you come back you'd better be ready to throw dukes, so square up." Carmine said as he cracked his knuckles, the large figure growled and ripped off his robes to reveal he was a Bear Faunus with ears and muscular, furry arms.

"They call me Grizzly or Griz for short and I'm going to put you in the ground." Griz snarled and punched his fists together, Carmine unfastened his IBA and handed it Celadon, he unzipped his hoodie and tossed it to Regalia. He pulled on a pair of gloves with studs on the knuckles, he punched his fists together that sent an audible CLANG echoing through the surrounding area. "Hey Ghira, you got an audio system out here? I wanna listen to something good while I beat this fucker down." Carmine said with a smirk as he stretched, he turned around revealing his back tattoo to the Faunus behind him, it read 'NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER.' Ghira walked back out with a large speaker, Carmine tossed him his scroll "Plug it in and hit play." Carmine said as he readied himself.

Ghira plugged it in and hit play on the scroll, the speakers started screaming as electronic sounding music came out.

Undead – Hollywood Undead

UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!

Carmine walked forward and raised his fists, stepping sideways as he and Griz had a standoff of moving around in circles "You swing first, bitch." Carmine said, antagonizing Griz who charged him.

You better get up out the way, Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today, And no, I don't give a Fuck what you think and say, Cause we are gonna rock This whole place anyway.

Carmine grabbed his shoulders and drove his knee into Griz's chest before driving his elbow down into his nose, Griz stumbled backward holding his nose, blood coated his hands and chest.

Now I see that mother Fucker writing on the wall When you see, J-3-T, 30 deep I'm down to brawl, Fuck those haters I see, Cause I hate that you breathe, I see you duck, you little punk, You little fucking disease, I got H.U. tatted on the front of my arm, The Boulevard, brass knuckles In the back of the car, Cause we drunk drive Cadillacs, we never go far, And when you see us mother fucker's, Better know who we are.

I got one thing to say to punk asses who hate, Mother Fucker's who don't know what, you better watch what you say. From these industry fucks, to these faggot ass punks, you don't know what it takes, to get this mother fucker drunk. I'm already loud maybe, It's a little too late, Johnny's taking heads off, Of all the faggots who hate, Cause I like God mother fucker And there's a price to pay, I am a God, mother fucker And it's judgment day!

Griz wiped away the blood and raised his fists again, snarling and showing his teeth. Carmine gestured him to bring it on, raising his fists as the bear Faunus charged him. Griz swung rapidly trying to hit Carmine but he kept dodging, Griz side stepped Carmine and attempted to kick Carmine in the gut. Carmine caught his leg and pulled Griz to him, throwing his fist into Griz's chest sending him into the ground.

I'm getting used to this nuisance, And all the fags who bad mouth this music, How fucking stupid and foolish Of you to think you can do this, You cowards can't, you never will, Don't even try to pursue it. I took the chance, I played the pill, I nearly died for this music.

You make me wanna run around, Pulling my guns out and shit, Your tempting me to run my mouth, And call you out on this bitch, How ignorant you gotta be, To believe any of this, You need to slit your wrist, Get pissed and go jump off a bridge,

What? You can't see the Sarcasm in the verses I spit? What? You think I just got lucky And didn't work for this shit? Bitch. I've been working at This ever since I was a kid, I played a million empty shows To only family and friends.

What kind of person can Dis a band that deserves to get big? I hate to be that person when My verse comes out of the kid's lips. That shits as worse as it gets. This verse is over, I quit. Signed Charlie Sheen On your girlfriend's tits.

Griz picked himself up quickly and got ready again, he stepped back and tagged in a wolf Faunus who hopped in and started swinging at Carmine left and right, the rifleman blocked them with ease, countering with elbows and knees to the chest. Carmine moved his foot behind the wolf and tripped him, as the wolf hit the ground Carmine drove his knee down into his chest and proceeded to beat the living shit out of him, punching him in the throat. He stood up and backed up, focusing on the bear "You! Here! Now!" Carmine shouted pointing to the ground, the bear re-entered the fight as the wolf was dragged out of the way.

White boys with tattoos, We are pointing right at you, We are breaking everything, R-rowdy like a classroom, pack of wolves, Cause we don't follow the rules, And when you're running your mouth, Our razor blades come out.

Griz charged at Carmine who delivered a roundhouse to the side of Griz's head followed by a seven-piece combo to his ribs, Griz hunched over in pain holding his gut. Carmine glanced over and saw a large rock, he backed up a little as Griz stood up and yelled in anger.

Why you always pressing? You know I'm never stressing, With fucking D-M-S, J-Johnny to my left, Got Phantom and the rest, Who are down there at the west, A grew up by drive-by's and LA gang signs, So what the fuck do you know about being a gangsta? What the fuck do you know About being in danger? You ain't doing this, So you know your just talking shit. Mad at all the boys because Every song is a fucking hit.

Carmine turned around and ran toward the rock as Griz chased him, as he reached the rock he leaped and placed his foot on the rock, pushing himself into the air toward Griz. As he got closer he cocked back his right arm and drove his fist down into Griz's face, successfully delivering a superman punch. The sound of bone breaking echoed through the area, Griz grabbed his jaw and stumbled backward.

Mother fucking time to ride, (Ride) (Undead!) See you duck when we drive by, (By) (Undead!) Mother fucking time to ride, (Ride) (Undead!) Watch you fucker's just die, (Die) (Undead!)

Carmine walked over to him and drove his right foot across his face, sending him to the ground unconscious as the music ended. "Yeah, who else wants some?!" Carmine shouted, raising his arms up, the hooded figures picked up Griz and carried him away along with the wolf. "Yeah, I thought so. You better think twice whenever I'm around!" Carmine yelled to the retreating figures, he walked back to the group behind him.

"Wow Carmine, that was amazing! I never knew you had a back tattoo." Blake said, Carmine shrugged as he pulled his hoodie back on, zipping it up and pulling on his IBA, securing the sides. "We shouldn't have a problem with them anytime soon. I'm ready for round two though." Carmine said, punching his fists together, sending out another CLANG. Ghira looked at his hands "What's in the gloves?" Ghira asked Carmine curiously, Carmine lifted his hands up "Reinforced steel plates." Carmine said with a grin, Ghira let out a hearty laugh as they walked back inside "Blake I like this guy, he has the heart of a warrior but the mind of a tactician." Ghira said slapping Carmine's back causing him to stumble, Sun caught him "I gotcha buddy." Sun said as he grabbed Carmine.

Kali walked into the room "So the White Fang has become that bad?" She asked, Carmine sat down in a chair "Yes ma'am, Sienna Khan has changed everything. Robbing Atlas trains, they attacked Beacon, executed civilians in Vale, it was bad. I plan to take them out and restore the white fang to what it used to be." Carmine said as he pulled off his boots and gloves, placing them beside the chair. Blake sat down on his lap, laying on his chest and holding him. Kali placed her hand on her chest "Awww, young love." She said as Ghira held her.

Regalia cleared her throat "So what is the game plan now?" She asked standing next to Laurel and Celadon who hand their hands behind their back. Carmine thought for a moment "Well, if they can get permission to land, we can get an airship to pick us up." Carmine said as he held Blake in his arm, Ghira nodded "I'll get the word to air traffic control to let an Atlas ship land here tomorrow." Ghira said as he sat down with his wife. "Now, how did you two meet?" Kali asked the couple sitting in the chair across from them.

"Well… I was tasked with taking on two teams at once in order to obtain freedom from wearing a uniform, well Blake's team was one of the teams I fought. Whenever Blake and I were about to fight, I took my gas mask off and looked into her eyes, she saw my past and I saw something I hadn't seen in a long time, a spark that showed hope and compassion. A spark I last saw in my fiancée or would be fiancee, she was killed by a woman named Cinder. Cinder is one of the people responsible for the fall of Beacon, I was tasked with eliminating her years ago but we failed, and as a result, my would-be fiancée was kidnapped and killed." Carmine said, explaining why he fell for Blake.

"My word, that sounds so horrible I couldn't imagine such a thing happening. You truly do have the heart of a warrior, the strength of twenty Ursa, and the willpower of a prophet." Ghira said in praise, Carmine nodded his head, thanking the tank of a man. Blake looked at Carmine with a grin "That's high praise coming from my dad." She said kissing her boyfriend, they continued to talk about their time together at Beacon and all their adventures.

The sun had sunk beneath the horizon as darkness engulfed Menagerie, the moon rose into the night sky like a soaring Nevermore, shining light across the island. Carmine held Blake in his arms as they gazed into the night sky, a shooting star screamed across the sky "Make a wish." Carmine said as he hugged her tighter, she thought for moment "I wish for us to be together forever." She said as she buried her head into his chest, he ran his fingers through her hair "I can see that wish coming true." Carmine whispered, Blake smiled as she held her boyfriend "I love you, Carmine." She said, looking up into his crimson eyes, he gazed down into her amber eyes "I love you too, Blake." He replied yawning "Someone's tired." She said playfully, he smiled at her and stood up, picking her up bridal style.

He carried her back to the house and into the room he was staying in, he laid her on the bed. As he hovered over her and stared into her eyes, she pulled him into her embrace, pressing her lips to his. Their tongues fought for dominance over the others mouth, Blake had won this round. She pushed him over and straddled his waist, pinning his hands to the bed "Someone's feeling frisky." Carmine said with a wink, she giggled and attacked his neck. He grabbed her waist and ran his hands upward along her body, eliciting a moan from the Faunus on top of him, she flipped her hair out of her face "You know just what to do, don't you?" She said playfully, Carmine shrugged and started kissing her neck. She stopped him and sat up, pulling at bottom of her shirt 'Holy shit my girlfriend is sooo awesome! Fuck yes!' Carmine internally screamed as Blake took her top off "I'm gonna rock your world, babe." She purred seductively.

The next day

Carmine woke up and pulled Blake into his arms, wrapping his arms around her torso "Morning sweetheart." Blake said, turning over and kissing him. "Oh gods I love you so much." Carmine said kissing her passionately, he got out of bed and got dressed. Blake rolled over into his spot "Pass me my bra, would you?" Blake asked, Carmine reached down and handed her the black, lacy bra. Carmine pulled a shirt out of his bag, pulling it over his scarred body. "So the airship comes today?" Blake asked, Carmine shook his head "Yeah, you going with us?" He asked as he put his shoes on "Yeah, I just need to…" Blake was cut off by an alarm sounding "What the fuck is that?" Carmine asked out loud as he ran to the window.

Carmine peered out across Menagerie looking for the source of the alarm, he saw people pointing at something in the distance but could barely see it. "Celadon, bring your rifle!" Carmine called down the hall, minutes later Celadon ran in with his M107, Laurel and Regalia followed him "What is it?" Regalia asked confused, Carmine looked down the scope of the rifle at the object in the distance. Carmine handed the rifle back to Celadon, looking physically shaken "What is it?" Everyone asked curiously, Carmine turned around "It's an Arleigh–Burke Class Destroyer, I've seen this ship before though and it's occupied by the White Fang." Carmine said shaking the fear from himself. He clapped his hands together "Alright, who wants to sink a ship?" Carmine asked pulling out his revolver.
