(Vale, Emerald Forest.)

One of the Beowolves slammed into a tree and vanished into dust as Ruby turned and shot another Beowolf who crashed to the ground.

2 Beowolves left, Azul dodged a slash from the Alpha and slid back before he scored a cut on its arm before parrying a slash from a Beowolf and then stabbing it.

"You guys can give up any time you want," Azul said as he brushed off his arms before he leaped at the Alpha, he easily dodged another kick before he stabbed the Alpha in the eye.

It howled and tried to get Azul off before Ruby wrapped Crescent Rose around the Grimm as Azul fired 2 shots into its head which caused it to roar in pain.

"Rubes?" Azul asked and Ruby fired Crescent Rose, it bisected the Grimm, sending what was left of it to the ground, Azul sighed.

"This Alpha wasn't as tough as the one we fought 2 years ago; I wonder why?" Azul asked as he clicked the trigger on Violet Shadow and let the magazine fall to the ground while he grabbed another from his belt and inserted it. He put the blade back on his belt while Ruby folded Crescent Rose down.

"I don't know, but it seemed different than the other Alpha, right?" Ruby asked, Azul nodded and sighed before he looked at the Beowolf which washed away in the wind.

"You think we should head back to the Beacon, or you think the others handled it?" Azul asked, wondering if the others were ok.

"Hmm." Ruby hummed and brushed off her sleeves and looked at her scroll which was ringing and then answered it.

"Ruby, we handled the Beacon, Port said he'd contact us when we go towards the next Beacon." Ruby heard from Vermillion who turned to Azul.

"We done?" Azul asked, Ruby, nodded and snapped her fingers.

"We did, I'm going to ask Professor Ozpin what these beacons are for, I haven't seen the Grimm so riled up since we got here," Ruby said as she began to contact Ozpin as Azul leaned on a tree and sniffed the air.

He smelt AMET before they and RWBY entered the clearing and waved at them as Ruby held up the scroll.

"Professor Ozpin, we dealt with the Beacon, what's are they for? We ran into an Alpha and its pack, but it went down a bit too easy." Ruby said as Ozpin hummed and then answered a minute later.

"They are to monitor and regulate the Grimm, Ms. Rose, as I said before. We have been seeing them drop off the grid and have been unable to remotely reboot them… Since the other one has been handled by team JNPR who was polite enough to respond to that, I have a bit of a problem I would like you to handle." Azul heard from Ozpin, he turned to Ruby.

"He sent out 3 teams to handle something like this. I forgot how important these beacons were to keeping Vale safe…. Rubes, ask him where we are going next?" Azul asked as Ruby nodded and turned to the scroll.

"Since you have shown such ability to deal with the Grimm, I suppose you'd like to be sent to Mt. Glenn, Mr. Rose?" Ruby heard from Ozpin.

It took her a minute, but her eyes lit up, Azul smiled and crossed his arms.

"Team RWBY and Team AMET reporting for duty, Professor Ozpin!" Ruby yelled, Ozpin chuckled and smiled.

"I'll have a Bullhead sent to pick you up… Ms. Rose, Mr. Azul, since you will be spending the night at Mt. Glenn, this time alone… You will both be responsible for your teams." Ozpin put in, Azul and Ruby shared a look and chuckled and then turned back to the screen.

"You can count on us, Professor Ozpin, we need to get some ammo, dust, and supplies if we're going to be doing that," Azul stated, Ozpin nodded.

"I will gladly allow you to pick and then we will be sending you to Mt. Glenn." Ozpin put in, Azul and Ruby nodded as a Bullhead pulled overhead of them.

Little did they know they were being watched, Azul and Ruby led their teams onto the Bullhead.

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 that the next chapter will be the start of season 3. I also want to point out that this story might be going on hold soon. The next chapter will be in 2 weeks and will show the trip towards Mt. Glenn
