Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, Mt. Glenn.)

Azul sighed and looked at his blade while he sniffed the air, there had to be a way out of this hole in the ground, he sniffed the air, searching for anything that could…

"I smell bark, that means trees…" Azul stated to himself while he looked into the tunnel.

"I found a way out!" Azul said while he rushed towards the hole and looked up, kicking at the dirt to make sure it wouldn't collapse when he tried to walk through it.

It held, he backed up and turned to Ruby who was catching up, Azul rushed forward and threw himself out the hole and he blasted out of the whole.

"Yes!" Azul yelled while he brushed off the dirt from his clothing and sighed before Ruby slammed into him and knocked both to the ground.

"Ow… Ruby, I'm not a target, that hurt." Azul groaned before he brushed off his clothing and shook his head while he looked at his girlfriend who was rubbing her head.

"Sorry, I didn't think I'd do that," Ruby said before both climbed to their feet, Ruby heard a growl. She grabbed Crescent Rose and fired into the hole below her and both watched a Beowolf collapse, a massive hole in its head.

"I keep getting reminded that ticking you off is a really bad idea…." Azul said, breathlessly. Ruby smirked and put her weapon on her back while Azul sheathed Violet Shadow on his side and brushed off his clothing.

"We're out of the tunnel…" Ruby said, Azul looked around and sniffed the air.

"We are, I smell dust and gunpowder…" Azul said, he pointed into the distance, Ruby nodded, and both looked around.

"I think Yang and they are done over there… How long have we've been underground?" Azul asked, he looked around. He knew how to get back to Mt. Glenn, there were buildings in the distance.

"I don't know," Ruby said before she rushed off, Azul sighed and followed her, eager to find out what happened while he was underground at the moment.

"Azul! Azul are you there?! We've been dealing with the Grimm for 2 hours without you guys!" Azul heard from his scroll while he looked at it, slowing down a second.

"We've been trapped in the tunnels for a while, you guys cleared out the Grimm in the city or learn anything about why this has been happening, Ver?" Azul asked, Vermillion was silent for a moment before he spoke a minute or so later.

Ruby slowed down and turned around before rushing up to Azul.

"We did, we found something on a crate in the city… Professor Oobleck said something about it, and I think I remember this symbol…" Vermillion stated Azul looked up to see a Bullhead setting into the city.

"Take a picture and we're looking at it back at the hotel… We're done here, the Grimm have been subdued at the very least and we have a better understanding of why they might have rampaged into Vale." Azul ordered, he turned to Ruby, and both rushed into the city to be taken out of the city.

Azul looked at the underground, Roman stealing Dust made sense, but him using it for bombs? Azul knew something was off.

Roman wouldn't make bombs to blow up Vale, he was a crime lord, not a terrorist. He was too small a time like Burgundy to be considered a terrorist attack on Vale, someone had to be telling him what to do and pulling his strings.

Azul knew he and the others had to find out who, if they had the guts to try and destroy Vale once, they'd do it again, and with the tournament coming which meant the entire world would be watching.

"Ruby, you think whoever tried something at Vale is going to try something when the tournament is approaching? We're going to have the entire world watching us and if I wanted to try and cause fear and panic, I'd do it when the entire world is watching…" Azul said and Ruby frowned, she was thinking something similar alongside her fears for the tournament.

"Yeah, they didn't care that Atlas was in Vale, I think they try something at the tournament," Ruby said while they ran, Azul sighed.

"I'm telling Ozpin when we get back to the hotel, Ironwood might not believe us, and we don't know who to trust," Azul said, Ruby nodded.

The Bullhead set down in front of him and Azul and Vermillion pulled open the door and waved at both.

"I thought you guys were still in the city," Ruby said, Vermillion said nothing.

"We're dealing with something big… Whoever is behind this isn't a pushover… They're a big villain." Vermillion said.

Azul wondered if whoever this was also part of the group that attacked Vale.
