Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, A minor Hiccup.)

Penny was…. Interesting, Azul met the girl soon after he and Ruby entered the town, he blinked as the trio walked.

"So… When did you guys meet?"

Azul asked as he looked through his Scroll, he was looking through all the crimes the Torchwick Brothers had committed in their time in Vale, looking for a pattern.

The single clue he was getting was on them as they were hitting Dust locations…

Azul filed that away for something to continue looking into later.

"I have been Ruby's friend since several months ago when we bumped into each other while her friend, Blake, was missing."

Penny said as Azul nodded, they turned onto another street as Azul, Ruby and Penny all passed a squad of Atlesian soldiers.

"I didn't expect so many soldiers from Atlas when they came here…. Then again, their probable security for a festival…."

Azul muttered, the Faunus didn't have any hatred for Atlas, they were a military empire and made some of the most enhanced inventions on Remnant…. So, they were interesting to Azul… But he didn't think mouth of them… Certainly not enough to hate them entirely.

"Yeah…"

Ruby said as Azul's scroll buzzed and Azul looked at Ruby while holding up the Scroll.

"Rubes, I got to take this… I'll catch up with you in a little bit?"

Azul asked as Ruby nodded and left with Penny as Azul ducked into a small alley.

He was greeted by Vermillion on the other end of the line.

"I can't believe you and Ruby made our teams split up to get information on these robberies…."

Vermillion said as Azul rolled his eyes before speaking as he leaned on a wall.

"Considering they tried to raid a cargo ship and Dust stores all over Vale? Their bad news and Huntsmen and Huntresses take down bad news, Verm."

Azul stated as Vermillion rolled his eyes, Azul was glad Vermillion wasn't as cold as Weiss.

"We aren't Huntsmen ye-… Never mind, I've been doing some digging on things…. Like Atlas arriving like this…. They sent a platoon to look at that freighter… So Roman and Burgundy might have been driven to ground…"

Vermillion explained as Azul nodded before he looked at a squad of Atlas soldiers.

"Well, with Quinn meeting with that former White Fang member…. Quinn, remind me to talk to Quinn when we get back… He seems to know way more about the White Fang than he's telling me…."

Azul said as Vermillion nodded, and with Jason asking people around town if they had seen anything, both team AMET and RWBY were looking around town for the bad guys.

"Yeah… You heard about the dance coming up? I know who I'm asking to the dance… Uh…. Not that it's important to our affairs… Stupid library…"

Vermillion muttered as Azul blushed, he was glad Ruby wasn't around as he paced back and forth in the ally, barely stopping himself from crashing into a wall.

"Uh… I don't know about the dance… Um, I'll tell you later…. Anyway, I'm going to find Ruby and Penny, I think Atlas is throwing a festival here, they have nothing, but soldiers and booths set up all over the place…"

Azul stated as Vermillion and his scrolls buzzed, someone was calling them both.

"Who he-…."

Azul started to say before Quinn appeared on their scroll as he looked around before looking at his teammates.

"We have a problem."

Quinn said as Azul started to sniff the air, he heard a noise, not cheering as he had heard a few minutes earlier… Shouting?

"What is it, Quinn? You got something new?"

Vermillion asked as Quinn turned up the volume on his scroll and Azul could also hear the sounds of an ambulance and could lightly see sirens behind him.

"The guy I was going to talk with was hurt… I managed to chase off the guys trying to kill him, but I couldn't get anything from Tucson… That, and I couldn't get a good luck at the guys before the police showed up…"

Quinn stated as Azul blinked at this in shock, Quinn cleared his throat.

"So, they attacked a former White Fang member…. I'm starting to think Azul might be right."

Azul heard as he chuckled under his scarf before he sniffed the air.

"Can I get that in writing, Verm?"

Azul asked as Vermillion rolled his eyes before Quinn cleared his throat again.

"I'm going to head over to where Yang is…. Let you guys know if I get anything before then…"

Quinn said before signing off as Azul stepped out of the ally.

"Yeah, I just got a text from Weiss, Azul… Go find Ruby, ill text you and the others if we find anything as we all agreed."

Vermillion said before signing off as Azul chuckled and put his scroll in his pocket.

He heard more shouting… And then he smelt Rose Petals, Ruby was running?

"Rubes?"

Azul said before turning and rushing off in the distance, he heard dozens of noises and grasped his ears to keep all the noise from overwhelming his ears.

"Ruby?"

Azul asked as he kept running, he followed the smell of Rose Petals until he found Ruby carrying Penny with a squad of Atlesian Soldiers starting to chase them.

"What the hell…?"

Azul muttered before running after both of them before he found Ruby once again before she tripped.

That was before Azul saw Ruby trip before a truck came speeding down the road.

Azul rushed to get her before Penny stepped in front of the truck and stopped it…

With her BARE HANDS… Azul looked at her in shock as he looked at the duo, Azul couldn't believe what he had seen.

That was before the duo ran off as Azul followed, he heard them talking.

"Penny, what was that, if something is going on, I can help!"

Ruby yelled as Azul stopped around the corner of the alley they ducked into.

He heard whispering, something about Ruby wouldn't understand, and then Ruby said she and he would understand.

"You guys are my friend, right?! You promise!?"

Penny hissed as Ruby nodded over and over.

"Yes, I'd understand and when Azul gets back, I'm sure he would understand as well…"

Ruby whispered as Penny nodded and then looked at Ruby.

"Ruby… I'm not entirely human…"

Penny said as Azul looked at Penny and saw her palms had metal under them as he blinked.

"Oh…"

Ruby said as Azul blinked in shock.

Things were just getting more interesting and interesting it seemed.

Azul turned the corner and called out their names, trying to make it seem like he hadn't heard.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, short chapter, but I wanted to have Azul meet Penny and set up the next few chapters… As for Penny? She isn't an android; I want to say that in this story… The next chapter will be on Next Friday or so and will skip to the fight with Roman and Burgundy… But will also show what AMET and RWBY learned. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
