Yang Xiao Long had a plan in mind to find her mother after getting herself in order. Keyword being had. After being told a few truths, Yang had a change in plans. She was still going to find her mother, but for different reasons. Now here we were riding down that dirt road alongside Yuki Azure and Professor Peach. He and his whole team were an enigma seemingly popping right out of nowhere during the Fall of Beacon. Hadn't been for him swooping in, Adam would have taken her arm. Of course, it was still damaged but not completely severed. But due to combined efforts of Peach and Yuki, her arm was healed, and both were outfitted with cybernetics. The three parked up at the Just Rite center or in Peach's case her bike disassembled back into her body.

The three walked up to the bar to which the bartender looked the three over.

"Aren't you two a bit young to be drinking?" The bartender said.

"If I'm old enough to snap a Grimm's neck, I'm old enough to fight." Yang touted. "But I just want a water. It's hot out."

"A martini." Peach asked showing her ID.

"I'm old enough and licensed." Yuki said dryly. "But I'll just have a root beer."

He disappears below the counter and laughter comes from the drunk man a few seats down from the trio.

"Are you telling me you're too young to drink? You look like a regular Huntress. And a beauty at that." Shay said eyeing her up. "Not too much, not too little. Though you remind of someone…maybe it's the tits….or the hair."

"Look, I'm not really flattered. My boyfriend happens to be the type to break limbs for saying anything about her." Yang said rolling her eyes at him.

"What? That darkie. Look's like a total…" Shay said before Yang punched him with an Armis coated fist breaking his jaw.

"And she's the type to do the same for those who talk smack about him." Yuki said grabbing Shay by the collar. "Now you and I need to talk."

He dragged Shay outside before pummeling him outside as the bartender placed their drinks. Peach was going to pay for them, but the bartender insisted it was on the house.

"But what brings you here?" The bartender asked. "Nothing much around here."

"Except for Raven Branwen." Yang said. "She owes my dad some child support."

The bartender was laughing before realizing she was serious. Not that it was not still funny, but he had a feeling that Raven was not exactly parent of the year. Yuki returned into the store with his fists having a bit of blood on them. He casually downed the drink before turning to Peach and Yang.

"You two ready?" Yuki asked.

Yang swiped Peach's martini and drank it wanting some liquid courage.

"Now I am." Yang said firmly.

"You didn't have to drink my martini." Peach thought as the three left Just Rite.

Shay was a beaten mess on the ground barely breathing. At least until Yuki emptied a clip in him before slicing open a portal. Yuki and Yang wheeled their bikes through as Peach walked in behind.

-RiI-

Weiss is lying injured on the ground writhing in pain considering she just survived a plane crash. She crawled on the ground only to look up to see two bandits approach her.

"Even with my knowledge, I still ended up here." Weiss pleaded.

Raven approached between the two bandits and stood directly above Weiss.

"I think... we just hit the jackpot." Raven said coldly as Weiss had a look of defianace.

Before anything could happen, a portal tore open much to Raven's surprise as only she could do that. Out came Yang, Yuki, and Peach all sport glares at Raven. Weiss looked over worried about what she was going to say about Yuki's teammate possibly dying in the crash. At least until Kelly shapeshifted back to her normal self revealing that she was a fly the entire time she was thrown out of the ship during the attack.

"Kelly, you're all right." Weiss said weakly.

"Ok, someone wants to-guh!" Raven said before Yang sank her fist into Raven's gut.

"Oh, hey mom, good to see you're still alive and well!" Yang said as her eyes flashed red. "Let's fix that!"

Her two fellow bandits would have stepped in had Yuki not shot one and had Kelly beheaded the other. With them out of the way, Yuki used Lapis's semblance of water to encourage Raven was in no position to fight back.

"Do you know what's it like for me, huh? You left me alone to suffer! I wasted wish after wish on my birthdays for you to just come home! You left dad with depression! Do you have any idea what that's like? Summer had to drag him out of the hole you put him in. Sometimes he could not even look at him because I reminded him of you so much." Yang said through every punch battered Raven's face.

She could have used Armis to bypass Raven's aura to do some actual evidence, but she wanted to slowly break her down.

"I asked myself why every day, but there's no reason. Considering your semblance, you could literally visited home whenever you wanted. Showed up at birthdays or just to give me some support, but you insist on being a selfish waste of garbage." Yang said as Raven tried to speak only for Yang to hit her again. "You claim the strong survive? Well, you're not exactly strong if you're raiding villages and hiding from Salem from like a chickenshit."

"You know about Salem? Then you know you can't beat her." Raven said weakly.

"Yes, she can't be killed, but what's stopping us from finding ways to seal her magic. We have options, Raven. Frankly, even then, what's your excuse for not being a parent? Ozpin? Oh please, even if you didn't support the man, Tai was not even apart of Ozpin's circle." Yuki said as Yang got up from punching her "mother". "You're the kind of person I could never forgive. A coward, and if it wasn't for fact that you are the Spring Maiden, I'd snap your neck. But no, we have a use for you and if you comply you can go back to your tribe wallowing in the dirt. Kelly, if you please."

Kelly walked up and stomped on Raven's hand leaving her out cold. As Yuki tore open the portal, Yang dragged Raven by her hair into it.

(A/N: Raven had it coming. But now I really want to consider what if Team YUKI landed into the plot at V3. Such is the limits of being a writer.)
