The events of this trailer all occur during the events of Volume 1, Episode 7: Reap What You Sow, Part 2

-Act I-

"And so ends another session, Mister Xiao Long."

Taiyang had gotten up from the reclined seat he had subjected himself to for an hour and his body was regaining its feeling. This was his second to last session for the year with her. After Summer disappeared, his depression had caught up with him. She wanted to offer her assistance to him, but it's only in recent times that he relented to come to her office. The shrink had not mince words in saying he should have come to her sooner.

"In all due respect, I still want you to convince Qrow to pay me a visit. I can't just offer free booze." The doctor said removing her glasses to wipe them.

He did not know she actually did not really need them as they were just for show. She found they eased her patients into a false sense of security.

"Sorry, he keeps saying that he can't have some shrink poking in his head." Taiyang said with a chuckle.

"Oh, well I do hope you're taking my words to heart then." She said to him.

"Of course. Thanks to you, I don't have to buy anymore citalopram. Thank you again, Dr. Quinnzel." Taiyang said making his leave through the door.

She sighed watching him good and it was one of exasperation. Partly at this client for he was a mess to deal with and she genuinely felt bad for Yang wanting to give her a session. However, Yang was a bit defiant in wanting "therapy". The other side of it was Qrow. As a psychologist, Dr. Harleen Quinnzel was one of the many in the unit for Vale's treatment for mental issues especially for hunters. However, Ozpin made it difficult for the unit to get people in for sessions specifically his "pets". Qrow's alcoholism and behavior had given concern, but Ozpin kept the unit away from being able to demand a session.

"Ozpin and his secrets… The last headmaster was…speak of the darkness…" Harleen said as her phone rang.

She answered asking what Ozpin wanted.

"Now, Harley, is that anyway to greet a person?" Ozpin asked.

Harleen's "professional mask" slipped and her accent came through.

"You screwed with me and the unit, you pasty haired bastard! And its Doctor Quinnzel to you, asshole!" Harleen said fuming. "The hell do you even want?"

"To arrange a session with some huntsmen under my employ." Ozpin asked.

"What's the catch?" Harleen asked.

"No catch. I have four new teachers, and I want them to go through a session." Ozpin said. "They need someone to open up to."

"Translation, they have information you want, but they won't give, won't they?" Harleen said flatly. "I'm a psychologist, Professor. I know you want something from them from your tone alone."

"So, your semblance can even work over the phone? Impressive." Ozpin remarked.

Harleen's semblance was one of a telepathic variant where she could see the true desires of a person by reading their thoughts and "hearing" them though people's speech. It was thanks to what Yuki did her for five years ago in the past that led to her inadvertently discovering this power and getting her life together.

"And talk is cheap. I see you raised your mental defenses to block me out though. Regardless, I know at least who you want me to see, but I won't give you those notes. I don't know what secrets you want so bad that you could be willing to break protocol, but I want to know why!" Harleen said.

"You must understand, Doctor. There are secrets I keep and all for the good of the people. I just need to confirm some things considering those four." Ozpin said honestly. "No more than you use your semblance to do your job."

"My semblance doesn't manipulate like you do." Harleen said with a snarl. "I'll come to pay Team YUKI a visit by Sunday. But only if you let me have a session with Qrow."

Ozpin did not answer.

-Act II-

Mistral. A country where cowardly and criminal thrive just as anywhere else did. This night was rainy as par for the course and it was no different from any other. Well…expect for the dark dealing tonight. If one wanted a place for information or brokering a deal of illegal means, you went to the Spider Syndicate ran by Lil' Miss Malachite, who you would not think would be the type to run one. She was normally cool as a cucumber, but she was rather unsettled tonight with who she was brokering for on her left. It was for a rather good reason as most do not even like people from…the Church of Grimore. They were practically a cult that even most criminals would snarl in disgust. She considered them "Grimm-worshipping retards", but she dare not speak it to the priest there. He was one of the high priests and one of the creepier ones known only as "Brother Blood". On her right were the group crazy enough to take a job from him. The team of killers who would be willing to kill anyone for the right price, Team SICC. Stalker was a dexterous hunter with keen senses and reflexes who was wanted in three kingdoms for poaching, Inque who was a shapeshifting mercenary who was the result of an experiment much like Lapis, Curaré was a mute blue-skinned assassin who was one of the last survivors of the Society of Assassins, and the "sub-par" killer spawn of Inque, Deanna Clay.

"You rang for this meeting?" Stalker said sternly.

"We need your services to still with a potential threat to our church." Brother Blood said cryptically holding a folder. "Two, actually."

He dropped it on the table and two photos spilled out.

"A little girl and this joker." Deanna said rolling her eyes. "Is this a joke?"

Lil' Miss Malachite did not recognize the girl, but she did recognize the male.

"No. Those two must be killed for the sake of our church to please our goddess. We were planning to breed our assassins, but one of the former priests ruined that plan." Brother Blood remarked. "Claiming it was in the name of our goddess."

"Tyrian Callows." Lil' Miss Malachite thought.

"So, their names?" Stalker asked.

"Ruby Rose and Yuki Azure. We managed to get information on Ruby's school records, but we were unable to get any information on Yuki other than his name and that he's near Rose." Brother Blood said as Stalker noticed three other photos. "As for those three, the blonde's the half-sister of the Rose. The other two aren't important. You can kill them if you wish. Consider it a bonus."

"How much are we getting paid?" Inque and Deanna asked in near union.

"40 million. 20 you get now if you accept, and the other half after you bring us their heads." Brother Blood said ominously.

"And I get some payment for this as well." Lil' Miss Malachite chirped.

"Silence, you tubby wench! I have you here as a moderator." Brother Blood said raising his voice.

The gangster would have called for her men and women to throw him out, but she did not want to have to fear cultist putting heads on stakes or holding prayers outside her home to call Grimm. Team SICC talked amongst themselves and accepted the job.

"How soon can you get to Vale?" Brother Blood asked.

"Two weeks, we need to prepare." Stalker said turning to Lil' Miss Malachite. "Do you have any information on this Azure?"

"Nope. None at all…he's someone who's lucky enough to hide information about himself. All I got is he's an orphan." Lil' Miss Malachite said quietly.

She knew Yuki, not personally, but knew of his reputation. If Yuki survived this, he was going to hunt for answers and she did not want to get involved in that especially with the fact he had Ivory on his team. Yes, Ivory was the butt of jokes, but she was seconds to Nikos. That still makes her considerably dangerous. The deal was made and the two parties were leaving Lil' Miss Malachite's bar. She would be closing early tonight.

As Team SICC was heading for their "home", Brother Blood confronted in the rain.

"Just one more thing, if anything goes wrong. Tell me you were sent by the Spider Syndicate." Brother Blood said producing a few rolls of lien. "Consider it extra pay if you kill Ruby's friends."

A flash of lightning flashed, and he was gone leaving only the cash on the ground getting soaked from the rain. The Church has sown it seeds creating a web that was going to trap plenty in its webs.

-YUKI-

"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for the next Volume!" Chronoa said watching this in her room.

Of course, she would get the usual alert that the main canon was continuing, but she dreaded trying to raise her expectations for it. She would go with none this time so if she was pleasantly surprised, she'd be happier for it, but if she was disappointed, the sting would not hurt as much.


(A/N: Yes, you heard it right! Season 2 is set to come out next year. Yes, there will be some DC crossovers, and anyone who knows the DCAU will be in for a treat. As for Curaré and Deanna, I'll leave their semblances up in the air. You get to decide if you answer this trivia question.

Inque and Stalker were both apart of one supervillain team in the DCAU, what was its name, who were all the members of it, and which series did they appear in?

Be the first to message me and get all three right. As for the poll, I will announce the winners for this season. For the sake of clarity, I will discount Ivory, Kelly, and Lapis.

1st Place – Yang Xiao Long (5 votes – 8%)

2nd Place – Both the Malachite Twins (4 votes – 6%)

3rd Place - Ruby Rose/Blake Belladonna/Velvet Scarlatina/Penny Polendina/Glynda Goodwitch/Raven Branwen (3 votes each – 5%)

Yeah, what does this mean? Simply, this poll will determine who Yuki hangs about. Each mentioned character has a "story path" that could lead to expanding said character. Whether its romance or a friendship is up to me. ;) You can keep voting on the poll as I'll be watching it for next volume! I'll be seeing you again rather soon, and don't worry, I will do one-shot tales with the "winners" here as well.)
