Welcome to Remnant Chapter 9, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles + RWBY Crossover fanfic

Welcome to the end of Vol 1 enjoy! ;) It's been a amazing ride! Stay tune for vol 2 when it comes out!

Ruby slowly feels herself waking up, the sun blinding her eyes as she opens them. When did she fall asleep last night? She didn't really remember, the days have been kinda mushed together for her as they were trying there hardest to find Blake. But she knew that she must have passed out after coming back from there disappointing search, but right now there was a new problem arising between Weiss and Yang. They been fighting against each other ever since, Blake went off. Yang and Blake had become very close in the few weeks of being team partners and for this to happen, it had to be hard on her. Yang had threw her helmet into the wall when she came into the dorm, is clearly exhausted an irritated from her failed attempt to find Blake once more. And she was done with Weiss's attitude.

" I told you to give her at least a week to show up!" Yang spat back at Weiss as they argued on.

" You already searched all of Vale, right? Clearly she's long-gone by now. We need to tell Headmaster Ozpin." Weiss declared.

"I said. Wait." Yang felt her anger bubbling threw her body as she felt a hand on her shoulder.

" Pop the brakes, Ice Princess. We still got a day to find her, before you go off to blabber to the Professor. " Raph stated, a hand on Yang's shoulder to keep her from attacking Weiss, but Weiss was stunned at first until she turned at him.

" Why are you suddenly defending Yang now?! You agreed with me on the White Fang's actions, and now your stalling us from getting the authorities into this. That girl was a criminal in plain site and nobody knew about that!" Weiss accused him back in rage.

" I'm not sayin' what those idiots are doin' is okay, but I'm saying if Blake was still in the White Fang, won't she have struck ya by now, won't she avoided blowing her cover?! If she's still these terrorist why has she spent all these months putting up with you." Raph fought back at Weiss.

" You can't just hide this, anymore! She's a terrorist!" Weiss shouted back.

" Really? If she's a terrorist, then you should be gone by now! She didn't strike you, or go after you either! Why this much time wasted for nothing!?" Yang went on.

" To get close to me, obviously. That's exactly what happened with my uncle. Poisoned by my aunt's favorite servant. A Faunus, no less." Weiss spat out, bitterly. Once again forgetting about the " Faunus" turtles in the room.

" Well maybe you shouldn't even have servants!" Yang hollered, feeling her hair began to spark like a match.

" They're well compensated, and have plenty of benefits! Plenty more than they deserve, given their history with my family." Yang's hair begins to burn bright as she stands up even with Raph's arm holding her back.

" Yang, stop. Just… let her go." Leo spoke up. All eyes in the room were glancing at him. Leonardo hasn't been the same since that night he came back with out Blake. He was conflicted about what had happened that night on the roof tops, but they needed to find her. It was the right thing to do, but fighting like this isn't going to help any of them.

"But-" Yang uttered, but was met with a head shake only from him. She grumbles, crossing her arms. She grabs her helmet from the corner she slammed it into.

" I'm going back out. We're finding her. Today." She straps on her helmet and grabs her scroll dialing Donnie and Mikey, who were on a search for Blake as well.

" Raph, you coming?" The blond grumbles out in irritation and impatience.

" You go ahead and get a head start Yang."The red clad turtle looks over to Leo as he gave him a nod of approval to go. He left with the firey warrior, even though now he was stuck with Weiss.

Weiss only scoffed at him as she glared at the window over looking the cross yard. He made his way up to her, movements slow, trying to remain calm so Weiss won't do anything.

" Weiss...please. Please. You need to hear Blake's side of the story. Not just for Blake, but...for your team. Believe me, I've been in a team for a long time, and if two of your teammates are fighting, it just doesn't work out for anyone on your team. If you two could get together and listen to each other, you'd see that she isn't after you. She isn't in the White Fang and she's not going after you and she's not in White Fang anymore..." Leonardo explained to Weiss, he just needed her to listen, but after seeing Blake expose herself as a Faunus, the same creatures that caused her family so much pain. She didn't want to listen to her claims anymore.

" I can't trust her anymore. She's a faunus. A faunus that was a part of the White Fang! A faunus, who caused my family to deal with so much pain." She stood up, clenching her fist tightly, before she stormed out.

" I'm taking this issue straight to Professor Ozpin." Weiss slams the door shut with a heavy force. The room was silent now, with only Leonardo left in the room with his thoughts. His many thoughts that seemed to be pilling up at the minute. They were losing time, they had to find Blake soon. As he was about to stand up he caught some worrying sounds. The sounds of...crying. He swiftly turn back to the top bunk of team RWBY's dorm, where laid Ruby, turned on her side, away from him and curled in on herself. Ruby was awake for it all...

"..My team is falling apart.." He made his way over to the smaller warrior as her body was holding back the rattle of tears threatening to fall. He gave a comforting pat to her back as she shivered under the touch, she didn't expect it.

"Ruby… what were you…?" Leonardo was going to ask, until she cut him off with a hushed whisper.

"..I-I wanted to prove to my mom...my family..that I could lead a team of my own..Just like my mother...But it's falling apart.." Ruby muttered out. His eyes widen as something inside of him spoke to him. Almost tell him what to say to Ruby. He's been like this before. He wasn't going to let Ruby go threw this pain.

" Ruby, you're going to be a amazing leader here at Beacon and even after you become a huntsmen. Ever team has to go threw struggles of there own. Believe me, I know. Me and Raph never used to get a long, heh..well we still don't see eye to eye, but he's my teammate and brother. I have to work with my team to make sure there all save. And your going threw the same thing Ruby. We'll find Blake and once Weiss realizes that Blake isn't in the White Fang anymore, then you'r team ill begin to see that they need each other. To look over each other." He smiles at the red haired girl as she stared back at him, using her arm to try and dry her tears.

" You-You..really believe in me?" Ruby doubted. But she was quickly met with a confident nod.

" Yes. A hundred percent. Ruby, as a leader myself. You have a lot potential as a team leader. I know you do. When this is over I know you'll be able to pull threw this and lead your team to do amazing things.'' Leonardo smiled at the Red headed warrior. She smiles at her tears smiling, before she jumps off the bunk and grabs her huntress outfit.

'' Ruby? What're you-'' He questioned, till Ruby spoke up.

'' Now that the Ice Queen's off our backs, we can start searching.'' Ruby stated.

'' You…?'' He questioned.

" You wanna find Blake? Then no questions. Let's bring her home." Ruby wiped her tears away, smiling at the Blue clad turtle. He held out his hand to her as she took it.

Leo and Ruby left the dorm room after Ruby had gotten her outfit on with Crescent Rose as well. They made it outside as Yang was on her Bike, Bumblebee, as well as Raph who was on his bike, Stealth Shell.

" Any ideas of where we should look today?" Mikey mumbled as he leaned on his arm. Raph bit back a glare at his younger brother as Yang only sighed sulking forward on her bike. She's been pretty torn up about her teammate leaving and it was messing with her a lot.

" We can try around Vale outer area's again? Maybe the docks later.." Ruby stated.

" Good place to start." Leonardo says, getting onto the bike with Raph." Alright, Ruby and Yang try Vale again, Mikey and Donnie Emerald forest, and me and Raph will try down town." Leonardo informed the groups as Ruby gets on Bumblebee with Yang.

" It's a solid plan we have so far, well keep at it." Donnie added as the turtle then looked over to the two girls, crammed onto one bike." Good luck." Donnie states as Ruby gives the turtles a quick nod before Yang shoots off on Bumblebee.

"Before we go on, we need to talk about something." Donnie states as his brothers look over to him." Our weapons aren't too effective against the Grimm, even weaker ones" Donnie added as he continued on." However, using our Aura is only one aspect we can improve on, see there's another aspect of combat in Remnant." Donnie adds, before turning around and pulling out his gifts for his brothers to help in combat of the Grimm. They were weapons. At a first glance, they seemed identical to the ones they already had, two katanas, two sais, two nunchucks, and a bo staff. However there were some minor differences. Handles were somewhat thicker, the bow staff and nun-chucks weren't made of wood and metals, and specifically on the nunchucks there were small tubes running across them. Donnie's brothers looked at them curiously, then back to him. "Go ahead, try them out. I need to see how they work before you guys go off. They'll be more helpful in battle, but if they don't work I need to make sure of it. Even if we have other tools to fight against with." Donnie explained with the first one to pick theirs up was Raph, who looked over the Sais, which mad Donnie grin.

'' Now then, pretty nice and familiar. I tried keeping them as close to the our weapons, as much as I could. Just press one of the tips against the back of the other sai and push that button there." Don explained.

Raph shrugged and did as he said. Once he did, however the weapons moved, the back of the first Sai opened up and took the prong inside of it. The tip of the first one split open, a small barrel appearing as well. The two sets of prongs on the sides of the Sais also rotated down to the underside of the fused weapons, fusing together. On the rear set, a trigger and trigger guard sprang out. Raph widened his eyes, holding the new weapon, while Don was almost bouncing with excitement.

"You like them!?" Donnie watched as Raph's eyes widen over his new weapon." Now your sais are fused together and have formed a fully functional automatic weapon" Donnie added impressively.

Raph looked down at them, eyes still wide, obviously extremely impressed. "I... well that's definitely not what I expected." Raph said, pressing the button again, allowing them to split up into sais again.

Oh. Oh these were cool.

Mikey was quick to leap up. "Oooh oooh, me next! Me next! I want to see what mine do! Come on D!" He said, rushing over to grab the nun-chucks, looking them over, he noted they were made of a hard but lightweight metal instead of the traditional wood, and he spied several buttons and triggers on his. Donnie chuckled, before leaning back with grin. "Now, this one actually has three parts to it. First there are these triggers on the side, two sets of them actually, press the larger ones." Don pointed out, to which Mikey nodded and did so, from the tips of each shaft a short, curved blade popped out "Boom, instant Kusarigama! Just pull it again and your nunchucks are back to normal. You'll get the hang of it quickly though."

" Woah, that's pretty neat!" Mikey said, giving them a test swing, making sure to keep them away from himself. Pulling the triggers again, the blades folded back up.

Don leaned over to him. "Now for this next one, I'm going to want you to point the ends of your chucks outside of the windows. Now, up where the chain connects to the shaft is a small button. Press it". Mikey nodded and aimed one of the chucks out and used his thumb to press it.

His eyes widened in pure amazement as he saw a small jet of flames shoot out from the tip, looking down at it, Mikey was almost lost for words, Don smirked "And that's not all, if you press and hold the smaller triggers on the side now" Mikey did so, and soon the ends of his chucks lit on fire, Letting go it went out, Looking up he couldn't help but give his brother a big hug. "Holy shell bro, these are freaking awesome! Look at these thing go! The damage these bad boys can do! Donnie, these are amazing!" Mikey said, looking over at his new chucks, giving them a couple of spins.

Don chuckled and patted Mikey on the head, Raph simply rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Yeah great idea Don, givin' Mikey of all people a flamethrower."

"Hey, I'll have you know I am very responsible... well most of the time." Mikey countered, Don decided to preemptively interject and end the brewing argument, before it began.

"For you Leo, I know you're a turtle of simple tastes, so yours is a bit simple as well." He handed Leonardo the two katanas, Leo holding them in his hands to test the weight. Donnie pointed out a button and a switch. Pressing the button, the sides of the handle opened up and two large, star-shaped shurikens rested next to the blade. "There you go, and with a swing of your sword, you'll launch those at impressive speeds. Also the switch on the side will distinguish between different styles of shuriken, such as star and narrow ones. As well, there's a button on the bottom of the hilt. Press it and it'll switch. I know it's not as simple, but I tried to keep it calm." Leo only nodded to him. As he pressed the two katana's buttons on the hilts, the sword's split into two as it switched and rotated around into two shotguns.

''Wow... this is actually really impressive Donnie, we're really grateful. Thank you for taking the time to help us and make all new weapons." Leo added, a small smile on his face.

Don smiles wide, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Aw guys, it's nothing really, it was a lot of fun getting to mess around with Dust and this world's shifting technology." He said, then bent over to grab the bow staff.

"And last but not least, the grand finale!" He grinned and pressed a side button, the staff collapsing to the size of a baton, then extending to full length. Another button also shot out a blade from the tip and two smaller ones from underneath it, turning the bo staff into a yari, finally, a twist of a knob folded it back, and a trigger, guard, and iron sights popped up, the staff turning into a rifle.

Returning it to its bo staff form, he struck a pose. Reminding them of when Ruby showed off Crescent Rose, when they met again on the air craft. Don bowed to the applause he got from his brothers . "Thanks guys, and really I'm happy to help, we're likely gonna be stuck here for a while, so why not make the best of it?" Don asked, sitting back at his desk.

Raph sighed and nodded. "Gotta admit...things like dis are making our stay a bit more bearable." Raph admitted, looking at his new sais, He got a round of agreement from his brothers, and Leonardo stood up.

"So, it seems that we've now got the knowledge, the equipment, and the team to thrive in this world." Leo said confidently, grinning as he looked over his family. "Let's see just how well we do." Leonardo added confidently. The sun glows brightly over the group as they were off.

" So? Who did you know I was in Vale?"

" Wow, straight to the point, huh? No, ' Hey man! How you've been, huh? Glad my boyfriend didn't chop your head off'." The monkey faunus joked, which Blake only glared at him at first." That came out wrong, right?" But she lets out a heavy sigh before smiling.

" Are you going to answer me or not?" Blake questioned.

" I forged some documents and got myself enrolled into Haven Academy. Build myself a whole new identity from the ground up.'' Blake gave a slow nod to him as she sipped at her cup." New name, birth certificate, the work!" The faunus explained to Blake, yet she didn't seem like she got her answer.

" And you're still not answering my question."

" Relax Princess, I'm getting there. My buddy Neptune actually was the one who helped me. He started talking about how this awesome fighter from Mistral ended p at Beacon. And when I looked up the roster, guess who's picture I found along with her's. Gotta emit, Blake Belladonna is a pretty catchy name." His hands played at his cup as he gave her a more worried look.

" But, I've gotta ask. How did you get away?"

Red
...Red everywhere.....all over...

...A train cars horn whistle threw the air...

..Bright Red. Bright, lush, leaves flew past her as she stood on the train cart. The red petals cut threw the threw air, passing by her.

"..Hey, what are you doing..Come back here...Our mission" A voice called out to her. There white masked man called out to her, like a Beacon in all this burning red. Blake in a different uniform, a black one with a hood, stood up. Cat ears exposed to all of Remnant."...I'm done." She whispered, retrieving Gambol Shroud from her back and splitting the connection on the train in half. She disappeared into the over powering color of red, only her shadow being scene as she places on a bow.

" I can't believe he just let you go like that.." They stated to her, almost concernedly by there actions.

" Me neither.." Blake whispered back, in a hush tone.

With Beacon students being out of class today; with the start of students on break, Professor Ozpin wasn't expecting any guest today. His eyes were fixed on his reflection in the mirror as his cup was held tightly in his hand, steaming into the air. Weiss was standing in front of Ozpin's door, with a huff she went inside. Ozpin sits in his chair, sipping his coffee and facing away from Weiss...

"-For all we know, Blake—if that's even her real name—could be reporting to her superiors right now. Something must be done." Weiss tried proclaiming to the professor.

" I see. And what did your leader have to say of this?'' Ozpin leaned forward, fingers intertwined in his hands.

'' She's no leader of mine. Ruby's far more incompetent than I first thought. She and her sister were defending a criminal, for gods' sakes."

" What I'd call incompetent is chastising a leader for defending her teammate."

" Excuse me?"

" Ms. Schnee, I assure you that no student enters Beacon's doors with any secrets I am not in some way aware of. I was well aware of Ms. Belladonna's actions and exploits before her first day here." The professor informed.

" Y-You knew? Then why…?" Weiss asked in confusion.

" If Ms. Belladonna was indeed a member of the White Fang, she certainly has turned herself around. She's proven quite amicable given the right conditions. You on the other hand have proven quite… stubborn. So stubborn, you've done so much as to inhibit your leader's progress. Or do you still believe I made a mistake in assigning Ms. Rose as your superior?"

" N-No, Sir. Of course." She looked down.

" I advise you to think back over what you believe being part of a unit to be all about. Especially when you aren't the one in command of it. Otherwise, the only mistake I'll have made—at least, in regards to your team—is admitting you into Beacon Academy." Ozpin informed her as she stood there, dumbfounded.

" You are dismissed Ms. Schnee." Ozpin finished as he turned away from the student. Weiss lowers her head as her heel click against the floor, leaving Ozpin sipping at his coffee. Only to swirl it and walk off.

" Ah..Rather cold now, isn't it..."

Blake and Sun walked cautiously threw the streets of Vale, as Blake was given a break from Tuskson and Sun thought it could help her relax.

" Why are you still here anyway? Is it like a plan you guys have? What about your teammates?" Sun asked, arms up in a chilled back way. Blake went silent as she turned her head away from him.

" Silent treatment . Okay. Fine. I can deal with it...Soooooo, who do you think is stealing all this Dust? I heard most of it was going towards the Vytal festival." Sun turned away, expecting Blake to not respond to him, but in fact she did.

" I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed this much Dust before. The cops think it's Roman Torchwick, but Weiss it's the White fang." Blake stated, holding her arms. She notice that Sun stared at her as she walked along with him." What?"

" Nothing. Just missed your voice." The monkey faunus hummed as Blake smiled rolling her eyes."..-wait. Did you say the White Fang? There here?" Sun gave a concerned look towards Blake as they were now making there way towards a store. Well, more of Sun, just for Blake's safety, but Blake managed to get him away from that idea.

"-There not here. But they've always burnt down places like that. Especial a SDC one." Blake stated. Sun's eyes widen as he got a idea that could clue them in on who was doing this.

" Like a riot? They loved starting riots. So, what if they changed there strategy, because the cops would never suspect it. They'd skate right under the radar. At least for a while. Right?" He pointed to her.

" They'd have to store the dust and then smuggle it out somehow." Blake thought a loud.

" I saw some huge warehouses at the harbor, but the port authorities probably locks them." Sun stated back.

" How huge?"

" 'Huge'. You could store Nevermore in them. Big Schnee Company freighters." Sun made a emphasis on the size part, making his arms go up as he did.

" Tonight, when they lock up we can sneak in and see if they come." Blake says as she opens Tuskon's shops door and walked inside with Sun following along.

" Raja- I mean Blake!..Sorry." Tuskon stuttered nervously as he tried fixing his mistake quickly for Blake.

" I prefer Blake, it's alright Tuskon. Here, let me help you with that." She grabbed a crate Tuskon was carrying." Thank you, I appreciate the help around the shop, Blake" She only gives a small nod to him." Weirdly busy today. Oh well." Tuskson heads to the front area of the store, while Blake continues overseeing stock. She pulls on her new uniform and gets to work.

Sun mainly was freeloading, using the excuse of knowing Blake to stay around, though he was mainly sneaking peeks at the new manga they had around the store. As Blake continued working, she heard some costumers talking.

" Hey, Tukson, have you heard? Apparently, the White Fang's upping their recruitment process. Supposedly, they've partnered with a local crime boss. Bad news around these parts." The Faunus costumer spoke quietly, filling Blake with fear and curiosity.

"..That Torchwick guy? I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just steer clear and we'll all be fine, right?" Tuskon said trying to keep a hush tone near Blake, as well as calming the Faunus costumer.

" I suppose. I just hope the White Fang hasn't found us out."

'' Trust me, they won't. And even if they do, I'll take the fall. I promised you a fresh start." Tuskson stated.

" Thank you, Tukson. I owe ya one." The costumer thanked.

" Don't owe me nothin'. Have a good day." Tuskon added with a smile.

"..You too." The front door bell rings threw the store as they leave. The conversation left Blake in a state of Blake anxiety, as she thought in here head what this could mean, here eyes dart to her side as she comes across Sun's monkey tail, then jumps back. She puts her hands up defensively as Sun backs up.

" Whoa! Whoa! Heh sorry. Still forget your jumpy." The monkey faunus apologized as Blake pinched the bridge of her nose.

" What is it? I just overheard Tuskon and some faunus costumer talking about something with Roman Torchwick and the White Fang." She looked up as Sun looked at her a little nervous.

" Yeah, same. And now some else did."

Blake gave a look of confusion." Who?" Sun points behind her and turns around, revealing Penny Polendina, standing there and bubbling with happiness.

" Salutations Blake and her friend!" She waved happily to the two as Blake gave a confused look over to Sun, who only shrugged.

" Sup Carrot top." Sun waved.

" Uhhhh, Hi Penny." Blake gave a small wave to the girl.

" How'd did you even get in here?"

" I found a secret route!" She points over to the air vent smiling. Penny didn't notice the weird look she was given by Sun and Blake.

"-What's happening over here R-Blake?" Tuskon called over to her as he looked in confusion." What is happening over here?"

" Relax. She's a friend of mind...I think."

Penny Gasp in excitement." Two more new friends! Hooray for friendship!" Penny cheered as she threw her arms into the air.

" Up top, redhead!" The two more energetic of the three quickly high five as Tuskon shakes his head leaving Blake with the two.

" What are you doing here Penny?" Blake questioned.

" Oh, well! I'm assisting in more clean up efforts to prepare for the first stage of the Vytal festival! I'd enjoyed it so much when I was helping you guys, so I took it up as a part time job! My father wanted me to get out thee and socialize more!" She quickly turns to her side as she thought aloud." Though, I'm questioning if I'm properly interpreting what my father meant..Regardless, is Ruby and Yang here with you as well. I always have a good time when team RWBY is together!" Blake only shakes he head to her." No..Excuse me. I need to finish stocking these shelves. I'll see you tonight Sun..Bye Penny." She walks by here and grabs the box of extra books.

" Don't be a stranger!" Penny waved her happily off, though when Blake is out of ear shot Penny realizes that nobody actually knows where she lives.

Ruby saunter threw Vale's streets as she holds her scroll tightly in her hands." Any luck?" Ruby questioned as she looks down again at her scroll as she was in a group call with Yang and Team LMDR at the moment, trying there best to find Blake and where she could have gone..

"..No.." Yang lets out a heavy sigh."...What if-"

"-Yang, we will find her. We just have to keep-' Ruby was about to continue on, until her scroll began to beep with Coco's image popping up.

" Hold on. Coco's calling." Ruby presses onto Coco's picture on her scroll and answers." Hello?-"

" Hey. I heard about what happened to Blake." Coco states.

" What? How?-"

" Velvet. Meet me at the Rose Cafe. We need to have a chat."

" Coco I'd Love to, but uh-"

" That's an order, not a request, okay, see ya!" Coco'c image vanishes. Ruby groans rubbing her face.'' Oh boy.''

'' What's up?'' Yang asked.

" Gotta talk to Coco. Keep me posted, okay?" Ruby asked.

" Will do Ruby." Leo says.

"..Gottcha...Me and the guys will keep searching. Will keep ya posted." Ruby sighs as she turns off her scroll and starts to walk off to the cafe.

Yang sighs dropping her head on Bumble bee's controls. She looks up when she feels a pat on her back. Yang gives a grumbled hum as she looks back up, she smiles when she see's it was Raph.

" Don't worry, will find her." He gave her a encouraging smile, which gives Yang some confidence as she she pulls herself up."..Alright. Thanks." She smiles at him as Leo looks back on the Turtle's scroll." Donnie's heading back to Beacon. Mikey's going towards the docks. If we turn around we can check down town again." Raph nudges Yang at Down town part of Vale." Don't you have a friend that could help us?" Raph smirked as Yang cheers up at that." I do! Could give him a try! Maybe he's seen Blake!" Yang pulls her helmet back on as she fires her engines up." Come on you two!" She calls out as the bike shoots off in a blur of yellow and black.

" Should I ask who this friend is?" Leo gave a more worried look as Raph shrugged pulling at the handle bars of the Stealth shell.

" I tell you later! Hold on!" He pulls back and shoots off, chasing after Yang while on Bumblebee.

Ruby and Coco sit at the cafe. Coco sips her coffee, while Ruby pours excessive amounts of cream and sugar into her coffee. Coco is disgusted.

" You realize you're lacing your coffee with death, right?"

" Hey, you dragged me here, so you can put up with my drink." Ruby drinks and sighs.

" So, what did you wanna talk about?" Ruby questioned

" Oh yeah. That. See, I had my own issues with my partner my freshman year.-" Coco went only, but Ruby cut her off before she could continue.

" Fox?" Ruby almost choked on her drink.

" Oh no. I actually had another partner in the Emerald Forest." Coco explained, almost too calmly.

" Really? What was his name?''

" Don't remember. He immediately got mauled by bears.''

Ruby goes wide-eyed.

" Oh don't worry, he's alive. I think. Last I checked he was only lethally injured." Coco tried helping Ruby calm down, but that remark really didn't help.

'' O-Oh…''

" Point is he had to drop out afterwards, and Fox's original partner died during initiation. Once that was all done, we wound up paired together. Things only got more tense, since I was a bit of a showboat and Fox was a… loose cannon, to put it lightly. No matter the circumstance, we were always trying to one-up each other. It took Velvet and Yatsuhashi staging an intervention for us to get our crap together.'' Coco added. Swirling her cup in her hands as Ruby clutched hers.

" Oh. So was it smooth sailing after that?" Ruby looked down, almost sadden, why couldn't her team be like that. However, Ruby was met with a different answer from Coco.

" Oh no, it was still awful. But with enough time and shared experiences, we eventually formed a mutual respect. It took our entire first year, but we made it there." Ruby sighs, looking down at the table she placed her cup on.

" Better than my team..." She whispered out, remembering Leonardo's words of encouragement.

" Wow, you are oblivious. My point is that it takes time for a team to find their dynamic. Even with all your growth as a leader, sometimes it isn't your fault things don't go as planned. Best you can do is roll with the punches. Doesn't mean you can slack off, of course, but you also can't be too hard on yourself." Coco stated.

" Well, uh… thanks, Coco. I appreciate the talk, but… it's not gonna get me any closer to finding Blake." Ruby gripped the cups handle as the cream and sugar swirled around in the cup.

" I wouldn't worry about her. From what Velvet said, Blake's got a good head on her shoulders. Once she calms down, I'm sure she'll come back to the home you, Yang and your friends have made for her." Coco hummed as she sipped away at her coffee cup.

"..If only Weiss would stop trying to wreck that home.." Ruby tapped the table as she looked to her side.

" Weiss has her own issues, yeah. I mean your dealing with a Schnee. I know it can't be sunshine and rainbows. But as I said, you can only stretch yourself so far. Whether she comes around her is choice at this point." Ruby sighed once again, but this time she returned the gaze back to her mentor.

"..Thanks, Coco." She looks up to her smiling.

" Welcome, send a message Team CFVY's way when you find Blake. I'll take you and your friends out to celebrate when she's comfortable again." She stands up and walks by the table, only to rustle Ruby's hair a little, in a almost sibling way. She pulls down her shades as she waves her bye.

" Catch you later kid." With that Coco leaves as Ruby was left there to think. She got up from her seat in the cafe and left the coffee shop. Ruby lets out a sigh as she takes a sip from her coffee cup, closing he eyes as she refreshes.

"-Ruby! You frequent this lovely shop as well!" Ruby nearly does a spit take on her hot drink. She coughs rouchly into her sleeve as she see's a familiar face.

" O-Oh, Penny!" She coughs into her arms as she holds the cup from dropping it." What are you doing here?".

" For the Vytal festival! Oh." Penny looks around Ruby." Where is the rest of your team? As well as Donatello and his team?" She tilts her head at Ruby as she still didn't understand why Blake was at the book store. Ruby lets out a sigh and adds to her question." We've been looking for Blake all day. She's been missing since Friday.." Penny gasps in excitement as she practically scoops up the tiny girl." That's terrible! But, I've seen her!" Ruby's eyes widen.

" What?! Where?" Ruby questioned.

" Oh, down at this lovely book shop!" Ruby thought to herself as she nodded swiftly." This-this is amazing! Thank you Penny!" Ruby thanked her as Penny was practically glowing with excitement. She clutched Ruby tightly in her arms, cheering." Your welcome, friend! I'll show you the way! I won't rest until you find your teammate!" Penny saluted her. Only to quickly wrap her arms around Ruby and dash off with Ruby dropping her almost empty cup.

The sun was beginning to set as once again, Donnie returns back to Beacon with no site of Blake. He won't say it allowed but he was starting to get worried this search was going to be only leading them to a dead end. The turtle sighs as he enters the hall way to the student dorms. Maybe he could try the surveillance again. As the intelligent turtle trudged threw the halls as he looked to see a message appeared from Ruby, which almost made him chuckle. Feeling a wave of relief wash over him, as well as everyone else.

" Cat's in the bag.'' Donnie chuckled to himself over Ruby's text she sent, updating on the search, as well with a added picture of Penny pulling her along the streets. Donatello was just head back to Beacon now after not finding anything, perfect timing.

However, Donnie's eyes catch something. He carefully hides his scroll away, trying not to make a sound. He see's Weiss, who was walking soberly threw the halls, making her way up the stair case of the dorms. Something told him to follow her up to the roof tops. She let out a heavy sigh as she took a seat against the ground. She closed her eyes as she bit her lip with nerves. Thinking to herself..

" Is this seat taken?" Weiss visible jumped back in her seated position on the roof of the dorms. Not the reaction that he wanted, but he didn't leave Weiss alone. He gave her a reassuring smile, putting his hands up in defensive." Sorry, I can leave if you want-"

" No!...No, It's fine.." Weiss awkwardly shifts over as Donnie sits next to her. Weiss didn't make eye contact with him as she tightly wrapped her fingers around the silk of her dress.

Donnie knew Weiss needed someone to speak to, after everything that went down. She needed to talk about it. Though, he wasn't ready for how quickly it came.

"..I'm sorry..Donatello.."

Donnie perked up at her response. Weiss has never referred to them by names before. It was unusual to say the least." Pardon?" He looked over to Weiss as she tighten her grip on the silk of dress.

" I'm sorry Donatello! I'm sorry that I insulted you and your brothers, and I'm sorry I insulted Blake and any one else I rudely spoken to while at Beacon!.." Weiss scrunched her eyes shut as she gripped the stone of the building." I'm so confused..I'm so confused about everything happening around me and my team. Back in Atlas, everyone would just kowtow to me to me, my family won't; they had more power over me...I specifically wanted to get away from them. To break free from them...But now, I'm finding it harder and harder to connect with anyone..I feel sick to my stomach with anxiety.." Weiss pressed her sharp jawline into her knee's, tightening the hold on them."..I came to Beacon to be free from there hold, but I feel more suffocated then ever...Nobody would understand. I've gotten good at it.." Weiss closes her eyes as her gaze falls to the roof again. She didn't expect him to help her. Why should he? She's been treating everyone like dirt for the weeks they been at Beacon. However, Weiss was wrong. Donatello was not the kind of turtle to turn someone in need of help down.

He pulls pieces from what Weiss is saying in order to help Weiss sort threw it and even manages to relate her to her grief."..Actually, I know how you fell. Well, more of my sister?..My sister dealt with that." Weiss looked over to him, almost apologetically.

" She's fine, if your wondering, but she's more of a adoptive sister, then ya know.." Donnie chuckles nervously as he motions towards himself, which Weiss did crack a smile at." See, our dad adopted us,..but he had lost her to someone that was a psycho. He turned her into someone that only saw others around her as there for her. More like servants, but after learning the truth, she got some sense knocked into her head and realized what she needed to do." He explained to Weiss as she stared at him." But, her situation seemed the same as your's, so I'll tell you what she started doing to mend the problem. It could really help. Start looking at others as your equals before anything else. Humans, m-" His eyes widens a little as he quickly recovers from his slip up."..-Er-Faunus!-It really doesn't matter.." He lets out a sigh before looking back to Weiss, who seemed to haven't notice." If you want to fix this mess between you and your team, then you need to humble yourself, just a tad. Take it from me, you could be as skilled an well-trained as you wanted too, but nobody wants to work with someone on a team who acts pompous and bossy towards others." He looks back at the entrance as he smirked catching Ruby, quickly hid behind the wall of the open hallway, Donnie smirked knowingly and stood up to Weiss. Her eyes were still fixed on the ground, thinking. Until, a hand was offered to her." Team RWBY needs to get Blake back. You guys can't have team RWBY with out B and neither without W, but now with W back in the team, I think we'll have a greater chance on finding Blake, but for now. I think Ruby needs your confirmation." Weiss's eyes widen as the turtle walked around Ruby and left the two awkwardly on the roof.

Though, when Donnie quickly hid behind the wall he was not expecting to find Penny there as well." Salutations, pal!" Donnie jumped a little at the sudden cheer. Quickly looking over to see good Ol' lovable Penny.

She stood there smiling, waving at her friend in happiness." Oh, Penny! Um, hey. Have you and Ruby find Blake?" He looks over to her.

" Not yet! But don't you were friend! As soon as Ruby retrieves a gift for Blake when she comes back, we'll be off to find her!" Penny cheers.

" Well, with the way things are going Penny, I think we'll find Blake soon enough.'' He turned back to the two girls on the roof top as they talked and apologized to each other.

"..Ruby, I want to apologize for my attitude lately..for being so unruly and disrespectful to just about everyone.." Weiss states.

" Weiss,..I'm sorry as well. I'm sorry for being childish. I should have stepped in as a team leader and fixed the problem before it got any worse. I admit, it's hard being a leader.'' Ruby chuckles nervously as she rubs the back of her neck.

Weiss adds on to Ruby's sentence, almost self-deprecatingly." It doesn't help when the people under you don't listen."

" Hey, I mean..you did help everyone back in Forever Fall. That has to be some type of help? Right?" Ruby joked, trying to crack a smile.

" I suppose, and your fighting style and tips for us are...helpful. In your own ' Ruby-way' ". Weiss hummed.

" I have a idea...Why don't we sweep this all under the rug and start from scratch." Ruby smiles turning to Weiss and offers her hand to her.

" Hello, Weiss. My name is Ruby Rose. I'll be your partner and team leader for the next four years and I look forward to having you at my side." Weiss cracks a smile at Ruby's idea and firmly takes her hand.

" Hello Ruby. My name is Weiss Schnee. And I'll be the best partner Ruby will ever have." Weiss confirms to her leader as they both had stone faces, until the two abrupt into a fit of giggles. The first time Weiss genuinely laughed with her team..Well more like friends now.

Friends..Weiss liked that actually

..Friends..

Weiss's eyes widen." Wait, Ruby. What about Blake?" Even if Weiss was still uncomfortable about Blake's history with the White Fang, though with her trying to have a change in heart, she at least wanted to know if she was okay.

" We found her. Well I didn't really find her. Someone else did, but I didn't.'' Ruby pointed out as Weiss gave a confused look." Then who?-"

" Salutations!" Weiss jumps back defensively.

" Oh, Ruby? Donatello? Is that how friends greet each other?" Penny tilts her head.

" Ehhh, more or less. Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Donnie explained as he and Penny trudged over to Ruby and Weiss.

" Well, what are you two waiting for? Are you ready to reunite team RWBY?" The clad purple turtle asked, especially to Weiss. Her face was on edge, however there was apart of it that was confident.

" Yes."

" Hooray for friendship!"

Michelangelo stood on the rooftops of one of the buildings near the docks. He thought that maybe because that's where the fight had started Blake would head back there? It wasn't incredible evidence, but what can we say, Mikey's not quite Donnie. Leaping across, Mikey sprinted towards one of the cargo docks, seeing a warehouse. Just as he was about to leap over, Mikey could see a couple shapes trying to stay hidden in it while watching the docks. As Mikey landed, he could see that one of them was indeed Blake. The other was the stowaway from earlier in the weekend.

" Feeling hungry?" The stowaway shakes a handful of apples at Blake.

" Did you really leave me here alone to get a bunch of apples?"

" Uhhhh, technically it's called a bushel."

Blake glares back at Sun." Well someone's sour."

" That was a pretty good joke there, Monkey king." The two shot up, Blake putting her hand on the handle of her blade and the monkey Faunus raised his arms defensively. Mikey smirked.

"Hey chill guys, it's just me, Michelangelo!" Mikey said. The blonde haired teen looked down at Blake.

"So... friend of yours?" Sun asked. Blake frowned.

"So, monkey king and Blake, what're you doing here! My bros and your team are looking all over for you!"

"Monkey king? The name's Sun!" Sun said defensively, but he was ignored by Blake.

" I'm proving for once and all that the White Fang did not do this." Blake stated defiantly. Mikey grinned. "Oh, this a stakeout? I am so in, dudes!" Mikey said, squatting down on one knee, looking out excitedly over the docks. Blake shot Sun a questioning glare, who just shrugged in response.

That all ended when a bright light shot over the cargo and a massive wind blew over everyone. A large hovering vehicle flew down over the cargo, before coming in for a landing. Mikey smirked.

The three looked down over the Bullhead as it landed. The doorway opened and a ramp extended down. Out from it came several disguised people, wearing cloaks, masks, and uniforms. On the back of said uniforms were the markings that Mikey recognized from the news stories. The White Fang.

" My team is still in Mistral. I guess we'll have to call in yours.." Sun whispered over to Blake. She only sighed." We should have just called the police..my teammates isn't coming..''

"Bummer... that's gotta sting Blake." Mikey said slowly, feeling fairly bad that she turned out to be wrong. Lowering himself, he moved across stealthily, unseen. Several were armed, and the members started to lash up the cargo crates. From out of the Bullhead came Roman Torchwick. It'd been months, but Mikey sure recognized him. He frowned.

"Well isn't that interesting...This went better then expected. Though, I see why nobody seems to have a eye for priceless artwork." Roman waltzed down the ramp with a smirk." Alright, hurry up! We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, soooo pick up the pace, before a friend of mine gets mad." Roman smirked pridefully.

On top of the roofs Blake stood up. She pulled out Gambol Shroud and flung the blade out." I guess the cops were right after all.." Before Mikey could get more of a look, he saw Blake dash out of there reach and into containment shipments. BLAKE slithers through the docks as she glares at Roman intensely.

" I'm hoping you have back up at least?" Sun whispered a yell towards Mikey." You think I won't? Who do you take me for?" He pull out his T-scroll as he presses a few buttons only for Sun to see Blake making her move at Roman while his back was turned.

" Strap the low down and get that air ship out of here-" A blade is pushed against Roman's neck as he groans in annoyance." Oh joy, here we go..For f-"

" Nobody move!" Blake cried out. The masked criminals aimed there weapons quickly at Blake as she held her blade tightly.

" "Yeah, that's a D in ninja school there, Blakey." Mikey grimaced. He saw the White Fang who were out either pulled out guns or swords. Mikey noticed that the swords that were being wielded were... different. They had arcs of electricity flowing around the blades, sparking and snapping.

" Come on, my bro's will be here soon. And if things go South for Blake we should be ready just in case." Mikey slid down the roof, using his new weapon to turn into its Kusarigama form to slid down the containers of Dust.

" Wo-ho-ho! Would you look who the cat dragged in.." Roman sneered back at Blake as she was surrounded by White Fang. Her eyes shifted back at them as she reached for her bow. Blake pull off her bow, proving with her cat ears she was in fact a Faunus.

" Do you recognize me now?! "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?" Blake demanded. Mikey saw that the members only lowered their weapons to look at each other in confusion. Mikey shook his head." This stuff never goes as plan.."

" Oh kid. Didn't you get the memo? The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture. Though, I've gotta say. I'm surprised Adam hasn't put you six-feet under the dirt." Roman smirked back at Blake as she pushed the blade closer to his neck.

" I'm surprised no one's put a bullet in the back of your head. Now, Tell me what it is, or I'll put an end to your little operation." Instantly, a thunderous, loud noises of several more Bullheads descending from the sky. Causing a gust of wind to shoot by.

" Well I guess we're all just chalked full of surprises tonight. And by the way, kitten. I won't exactly call it a little operation." The loud noises of several more Bullheads came from the sky above. Distracted, just like Blake, Mikey heard a loud explosion just below him. Looking down, Mikey saw Torchwick use his cane to explode Blake backwards several on the ground.

Blake shook her head as Torchwick smirked wickedly at her and fired. Blake quickly rolled out of the way of the explosions in quick fashion. Roman aims his cane back at Blake and fires again, this time she escapes the damages by flipping backwards to avoid the hit, even using her semblance to escape and regroup.

" You're just a bag of tricks..aren't you-" While Torchwick was approaching her. Smirking, Mikey leaped down with a yell. He landed on one of the Whit Fang members, Mikey took him out, then spun his nunchucks around the gun of one of the surprised members, pulling it away. Mikey gripped his weapons and felt his Aura flow threw his body, ready just in case.

"Sorry to rain on your parade, but do you guys happen to know where I can get one of those junk masks? I lost mine." Mikey taunted, before pressing the small button on his chucks. The tips lit on fire, and Mikey spun them around in a dazzling display. The Faunus charged and the turtle met them head on, swinging his nunchucks, smashing one in the face to knock him back, ducking under another one as he tried to fire his rifle before swinging his fists up under the assailant's chin. Looking back, Mikey saw there was just one terrorist with a sword left. However, the enemy swung his blade down, and an arc of lighting launched towards Mikey, taking him offguard long enough for it to hit him, sending the turtle back.

"Ugh... why do the bad guys always get the cool toys?" Mikey grumbled, sitting up. He looked up and quickly screamed as the White Fang operative charged him, ready to swing his blade... only to get knocked back several feet, a loud gunshot filling the air. Looking up, Mikey turned back to see Donnie standing on one of the crates, his bo in its rifle mode. Leaping down and changing it back to a bo, Don smirked.

"I dunno, I'm thinking the good guys have the cooler toys this time around." Don added. Mikey smiled and got up.

"Donnie! What're you doing here?" Mikey asked.

" Your kidding right? I bet half the city heard that explosion, I just happened to be nearby." Don said. The two turned around, just in time to see Sun leap down and kick Torchwick in the head.

" Head's up buttercup!" Sun joked, before rolling and flipping over to the turtles, facing Torchwick.

" Long time no see Roman." He pushes up his fist as he turns towards Mickey and a new friend." I'm guessing your backups here?" Sun stated as Donnie turns towards Mikey.

" Look I'll explain later!" Overhead the Bullheads opened up and out from them leaped several White Fang members, each holding a rifle, pistol, fancy sword, or some combination of the three. The three were surrounded as Roman got up. Don grimaced as did Mikey.

"Hmm, surrounded by masked criminals with fancy swords and high tech gadgets. Am I having deja vu?" Donnie joked, while Mikey swung his nunchucks about.

'' You of all people jumping into the middle of a fight that you had nothing to do with you, well imagine that." Roman stated, almost irritated by the whole time, only to chuckle glaring back at them.

" You're not the brightest banana in the bunch, are you, kid?" Roman smirked, then looked over at the turtles. "And if it isn't the two out of four freaks who I had the displeasure of meeting last time. How wonderful, my old shoes were getting just worn out." The White Fang charged in, and the turtles, plus Faunus; stood their ground. Mikey lashed out, his flame engulfed nunchucks knocking aside weapons and smashing masks, while Donnie used his bo to pole vault over several members, lashing the end back to catch two of them in the face. He heard Mikey call over.

"Hey Don, seems you got some competition with the ol' stick there." Mikey joked, kicking off the face off a pistol shooting Fang. Looking back, Don saw that Sun had pulled out his own bo staff. And he used it quite impressively. Don frowned.

"Anyone could do that." He justified, before narrowly dodging a swing from a blade, hearing the electricity crackle. At that moment Roman fired at Donatello. Thankfully Mikey wrapped a nunchuck around his hand and pulled him to the side. It shot past them right for Sun who spun his bo, blocking the shot.

" Let's go!" Blake cried as she dashed forward at Roman At that moment, Blake leaped out from one of the cargo crates, launching herself at Roman. The two battled it out, Blake furiously charging at Roman, using all of her speed, almost blinding with it. Amazingly, Roman was able to keep up with her, deflecting every blow, even landing a punch himself, before swinging out and delivering several hard blows with his cane. Roman kicked Blake forward as Sun jumped over her and serving a kick right back at Roman. Only to quickly add onto the attack by pulling out hi signature weapon. He spun the gun-chucks around quickly as it destroyed most of Roman's damage, with explosion and bullets flying around everywhere as the two duked it out.

"Hey Mikey, seems you're not the only chucker extraordinaire." Don teased. After delivering a harsh kick to one of the Fang, Mikey looked up.

Sure enough, Sun was swinging around nunchucks with skill Mikey had only ever seen... well, by Mikey! But that was not the end of it. Every time Sun swung his nunchucks, a shotgun blast fired out at the end. Mikey felt his eye twitch.

"Shotgun chucks?! That thief, he stole my idea!" Mikey yelled angrily, swinging his own chucks at a Fang trying to gun him down with a pistol. Probably more amazing then Sun's shotgun chucks, however, would have to be Roman once again deflecting every single shot, easily a match for the stowaway Faunus. As he blocked, Blake leaped at him, kicking the criminal away from Sun with the added pressure of a slice.

Roman was a quick thinker. He quickly got up and fired at the crane Mikey had been on, knocking a crate down towards the two Huntsmen in training. Sun rolled forwards while Blake leaped back, meeting the two turtles who had just finished off the last of this group of White Fang. The two rushed around just in time to see Roman aiming his cane gun at Sun.

Sun shook his head from the quick escape as all he saw was the end of Roman's cane facing him dead on.

" Sun get out of there!" Blake called out as he leaned back in fear. Donnie turned his bo to a rifle, ready to aim, but everyone was interrupted by a voice Blake knew to well.

" Enough!" Roman growls as he still kept his cane aimed at Sun, but stopped the attack as Jason, the White Fang Lieutenant, approaches. Blake goes wide-eyed.

" No…" Blake fearfully whispers out as Donnie had his rifle Bo aimed directly at the masked individual.

" Bad new, right?" Donnie asked as Blake's reaction to this guy was concerning to say the least. She could only not as her weapon was pointed at him.

" Oh goodie..." Mikey whispers.

" Well, well. If it isn't my dear old friend Raja? Master Taurus has been searching for you for so long." Jason grimaces at her. Bullheads rise into the air as they leave with some of the cargo's of Dust. Blake rushes to try and stop them, trying to avoid Jason's attacks. She dodges his slice at her from his chainsaw by rolling under the blade. She hits him back, only for him to crash his chainsaw into Gambol Shroud. He growls kicking Blake backwards into the dock. She's knocked to the ground as Blake see's the Bullheads escape with some of the Dust. Jason smirks as he holds the chainsaw over Blake, only to have a barrage of shotgun bullets be slammed into him with a burning pulse.

" Well, I saw what your trying to do there." A woman spoke, walking out from the mist of the dock, dissenting from the darkness and reloading her burned a bright yellow.

" And there's my back up! Just in time guys!" Mickey stated. The a gust of wind blows at Jason, which made him growl and cover his face from the debris that came with it. He growled glaring his eyes as they meet two two more of the turtles Roman spoke of.

" Awww, Don't tell us it already ended. The party just stared." Raph rotated his weapons barrels and aimed the new sias at the new enemy. Blake's eyes widen as she had her cat ear's still exposed and was in front of everyone. Leonardo's eyes widen as well, gazing at her as she was under the foot of the masked individual.

" You alright Blake?" Leonardo asked as his twin katana's were aimed at the new terrorist and Roman Torchwick, which he was surprised to see her. Before, Blake could respond, The masked man only laughed.

" What's so funny you off brand horror movie killer?!" Raph shot back at the psycho.

" Now, I don't like killing my own kind, but with the way you freaks are...Let's just see."

Yang's eyes burst into a deep red color as she slams her fist into each and ignite. The ground under her and around her burst as she rushes in forward ready to strike the White Fang Lieutenant. However, she couldn't get around to battle the White Fang Lieutenant. The grunts of the White fang held her back. However, Yang only smirks Yang of course comes at them and was just a powerhouse of power against them. Kicking the living crap out of most of the grunts there and White Fang. Raph laughs as the grunts are practically exploded back from her damaging way. He kicks a grunt back into another guy, sending the two living back into a Dust container. A grunt comes at him aiming his crackling sword at Raph, however Raph quickly spins on his heel and misses the attack done to him. The White Fang gives a shocked look, until Raph pulls them down using his Sais to slam him forward.

" Nice try. Better luck next time." Raph stated, firing a round of bullets off. Mikey twirled out his nunchucks and swirled them around a few grunts, sending them flying back, he flipped over anothers attack as Donnie used a shot of Lightning Dust to force the guy to scatter, which lead right into Mikey's swing.

Yang's thrust her fist into a grunts jaw. Her eyes widen as she caught Mikey's new weapon. Her smile turns into a confident smirk as one grunts slams painful punch into her.

She crashes into a container of Dust, aura flaring up." Yang!" Raph called out, however Yang only smirks, standing up from the Dust as her Semblance then activates.

" Oh, you're gonna regret that." Yang's fist clash together as her hair shoots up into the air with a firey explosion. Another Bullhead arrives flying threw the air, causing Yang's burning hair to fly backwards, against the wind. Her eyes widen as someone jumps out of the bullhead. There heels crash into Yang and send her flying back. Raph spins around aiming his sais back at the new attacker. They flip backwards and jump's onto a containment of Dust. Her parasol twirls slowly as she turns it away from her with a smirk. Her different colored eyes stared back at them. Neo stood up facing back at Yang, Raph, Donnie and Mikey. Surrounded by the unconscious White Fang grunts. Her parasol aimed at them with a intention to fight. Neo tilts her head back at the four, as Yang reloads her shout gun pistols.

" Hate to bring this up, but is anyone getting deja vu from this girl?" Mikey asked, turning his nunchucks into it's second form, the Kusarigama. He aims the slit apart at her, though she only smirked.

" Hate to say it, but agreed." Donnie spun his Bo staff at the girl, while Yang locks and reloads her shot gun gautlets. Yang glares back at Neo with a confident smirk.

" Whoever she is. She's going down." Neo's dainty smirk turn sour from Yang's remark. Raph points his sias.

" Yeah, she doesn't look as touch to deal with." He aims his sias's at her and turns them into it's automatic gun form. Bullets fly out of the barrels of the gun. Only for the damage to come crashing back into Raphael. He growls, shaking his head from being sent back by the blast of deflected. Neo stands back, untouched by the damage. Sneering , she pops her parasol back and twirls it slowly behind her shoulder.

" Okay Little Missy. You wanna play like that." Raph shifts the two guns back to the sais forms and points them directly at Neo, who only pointed back to herself in a condescending way.

" Let's dance Snow cone! Hope you don't melt~" Yang commented. Neo only gave a dull expression in return, having heard many Ice cream jokes from her cold attitude and name, so she rolled with it. A smirk returning to her face. Yang dashes in forward as Raph flips backwards. Giving Mikey and Donnie a quick nod, before slipping into the shadows to sneak up on Neo.

" Will help Blake's friend get out of his sticky situation." Donnie stated, adding a quick hit into a unsuspecting grunt of the White Fang.

" Easy peasy! I'll be able t show off who's the superior nunchuck master is!" Mikey punctuated by spinning the nunchuck, that was inflamed, into a few last grunts that were trying to take them down, though failing quickly as Mikey's flaming weapon's collided with there electrical swords made from Lighting Dust. Causing explosion.

As Mikey and Donnie escaped the line of Neo, she and Yang busted threw the burning explosion cause by Michelangelo's new weapons. Though, they didn't seem to notice. They were two distracted by there duel to focus on it. Yang stood up growling back at Neo as all her attacks against her were being forced back into her face, or dodged all together.

" Sure are staying frosty there, Snow cone." Yang spat back at her as she popped the used shot gun bullets out of her gauntlets and pulling out fresh ones. Neo only smirks, standing there daintily. Her eyes widen with her smirk as she flips backwards and clashes her parasol into his sais. Holding them back from any damage. Yang took this moment of Neo focusing on Raph and used it. Yang gave a confident smirk. Her yellow gauntlets burst off with a bright explosion, the bullets flipping out as they were useless now. Yang quickly grabbed a new set and popped them in as she glared at Neo. Yang then burst forward ready with a attack. Neo, however swerved out of the way. Using her parasol to push back Yang's fist and flipping backwards. She smirks at the two and runs at them, flipping over Yang she sends a quick, forceful kick into her. Sending her back growling. Neo lands against the ground and twirls back, leaning on her parasol smiling smugly.

" She's real slippery." Yang huffs, gauntlets steaming. Raph presses the back of his sais's, shifting them into the gun form.

" Let's see for how long." Raphael fires at the ground below Neo, sending her backwards. She flips out of the way of the explosion and uses her parasol to send it back at them. Yang tanks the hit smirk as she rushes Neo. Raph runs up the containment of Dust and uses it to crash into Neo. Her eyes widen as she slams Yang back forcefully. She collides her Parasol into Raph as he turns his guns back into sais's trying to hit Neo. She smirks taking the damage. When Yang runs at her taking this moment to send a punch into her jaw, Neo takes the damage she took from Raph's attack and sends it forcefully into her. Sending Yang tumbling backwards near Blake and Leonardo. Shaking her head, she fires off again.

Leo fires into a container of Dust, causing a explosion to occur, which gave Blake enough of a time to escape from Jason. She rolls out of the way of his slashes at her from his chainsaw.

" Will you STOP MOVING!" He roars as he slams his chainsaw into Blake's neck, only for it to disappear as it was a shadow. He growls at her. Blake stands up as she was in a defensive stance next to Leonardo.

" Glad to see your back." He states turning one of his katana's into into automatic gun form." You know this guy, I'm guessing?"

" He's apart of the White Fang. He's the Lieutenant." Blake slashes Gambol Shroud forward as it's blade form. Jason grips the chainsaw with a bristling growl.

" You left the White Fang. Blake, you know what happens to traitors.'' He charges at the two of them with incredible speed. Blake pulls Leonardo out of the way with her semblances. He comes around and attacks Jason with his Katana's, dodging the slices aimed at him, trying to cut him to bits. Leonardo flips back as Blake launched herself at him, using all of her speed, almost blinding with it. But, he was still able to keep up. Leonardo came in with a a ray of bullets. The Lieutenant hits the bullets away with quick, timed slices, only to catch Blake by surprise as she was coming at him with another attack. He catches her by her ribbon and slams her forward into Leonardo. He was forced back by Blake crashing into him so quickly. She crashes to the ground as Blake's Aura flickers around her. She was using such much of it, that it was bound to break soon.

'' Finish them off already!" Roman shouts in irritation. His boot slammed into Sun's chest to keep him from escaping. He aims his cane on his target: Blake and Leonardo and holds up his cane at them. The top pops off as he smirks, wickedly.

" No! Keep her alive!" Jason shouts back in protest of his order to Roman. But, Roman only smirks. Blake's eyes widen as she threw herself in front of Leonardo and braces herself for impact as Roman fires.

" Blake-!"

...But, she was met with nothing. No pain. Nothing. When Blake opened her eyes, she looked up, her eyes widen in shock.

Weiss stood there, standing confidently. Myrtenaster stuck into the ground with a shield of ice protecting them from Roman's deadly shot.

"..Weiss?" Leonardo questioned, his eyes dilated in confusion. Weiss gave a faithful, yet comforting smile back at the two. She helped the two up from behind her wall of ice.

" Are you two okay?" Weiss asked, a concern voice coding her words.

" Y-Yeah. Why are you-" Before Blake could get out her question, the ice wall breaks with ice chunks exploding around the three of them.

" We'll talk later. Now…" Weiss readies her weapon with Blake doing the same. Leonardo aims his weapon back at Jason, Weiss and Blake at his sides as well. Jason grumbles, standing up. He wobbles a little from the damage the explosion of ice caused. His glare goes darker as his eyes spot Weiss. He smirks in a psychotic way.

"..A Schnee. My lucky day~." He pulls back his chain on his chainsaw.

Roman grumbled under his breath over looking the scene. Both, Neo and The White Fang Lieutenant were holding there own against these annoying brats, but there plan was going down hill. Roman was pulled from his thoughts as he felt the stowaway faunus under his boot try grabbing his weapon as he was distracted. Roman stepped harder making Sun yelp back, tail curling as he glared back at Roman.

" You really don't know when to not stick your nose in a situation, do ya kid?" Roman chuckled as Sun grimaced back at him.

" 'Least I know my own morals." Sun spat. Roman just groaned aiming his cane.

" Yeah yeah Kid. I couldn't care about your " Morals", but since 'ya care so much I'll put you out of your misery." His cane was then tugged from his grasp, making him miss the shot aimed at Sun.

" What the-Hey!" Roman looked back to see standing before him, Donatello and Michelangelo.

" Do you freaks seriously have nothing better to do." Roman hissed back.

" Not particularly, though that Dust you're apparently trying to steal is a problem we're planning to fix." Donnie counters back.

" And I'm back here for some sweet revenge after you shot me in the chest. Thanks by the way." Mickey added, swinging his nunchucks around.

Roman only smirked at them, chuckling at the scene." You want to play that game oh I can play-"

" Hey!"

"- Oh, you've got to be kidding me.." Roman exasperated. Everyone looked up to see Ruby Rose walking forward on top of the warehouse, Crescent Rose in her arms. She spun it around behind her before planting it on the ground. Despite her small stature and young appearance it was still an intimidating sight. Penny walking just behind her.

" Oh, hello Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman gave a infuriate jab to turned back to say something, and Roman took the chance. Raising his cane up, Roman fired at the girl, sending her flying. "Ruby!" The four turtles shouted with Yang, Weiss and Blake, before glaring at there enemies. Mikey and Donnie both charged at the laughing criminal, which made Roman only pull back a bit to strike at them, letting Sun grab his weapon to fight against him, as several White Fang members moving in to intercept. Yang slammed her fist together ready to charge Roman, only to be stopped back by Neo, who was able to keep her from getting any where near Roman. Raph couldn't make a clear shot at Roman either with the mindless grunts of White Fang he had to deal with. And Jason, the White Fang Lieutenant was able to keep Leonardo and Blake on there feet.

All hope seemed to be draining by the second for the group of hero's, However before either group could do anything, several swords launched down, striking the White Fang and sending them flying. Standing between the turtles and Torchwick was Penny, several swords seemingly hovering behind her, like a deadly set of floating wings. She casually swung the group to her left and right, taking out several White Fang with ease. She then had the swords spin in a circle and threw the deadly ring of blades at a charging group of the Fang. The turtles were stunned by just how she was doing this.

" So... Ice Queen was right about the White Fang, but dead wrong about Penny." Michelangelo said. Ahead of them, the group of Bullheads flew towards them, and under each one a machine gun revealed itself, firing right at the turtles. Mikey screamed but instead of feeling hot lead and Dust hit them, the brothers saw Penny in front of them, using her swords to spin ahead of her, deflecting the bullets. "Oh, hello, Donatello! A pleasure seeing my pal here!" Penny said cheerfully. Donnie just nodded slowly. "Er… and boy am I glad to see you here as well." Donnie said. "Exactly! Now, I hate to be a bother, but I need to get between you for a moment." Penny said. Then her backpack opened up and two more of those swords unfolded out of it and launched back between the brothers. This close, they could see that tiny, thin wires were how Penny was controlling them. Speaking of, those wires yanked Penny back, flinging herself as well. Proving that she was just filled with surprises, Penny had the swords spin in a circle ahead of her, a green glow forming in the middle. Suddenly she stopped and thrust her arms ahead, several large lasers also firing at the oncoming Bullheads. They sliced clean through two of them, the crews falling out from them.

Ruby from on top of the containment watched in amazement as Penny performed these attacks flawlessly. She shook her head as she jumped down to the deck of the dock.

" Need a hand sis?" Ruby appeared, firing a few rounds off at any stray White Fang trying to escape.

" Ruby! I'm so glad you okay, but watch out. Snow cone there's been giving me some trouble." She pointed back as she caught her breath. Ruby watched as Raph was avoiding Neo's quickening attacks against him.

" Little help her, Yang!" Raph exclaimed as he forces Neo back. He kicks her back as he pulls out a egg shaped smoke boom. Neo bristles from Raph's sudden shove. She sprints at him, doing gracious flips, ready to send a violent attack back at him. Only for Raph to burst into a chalky smoke mist of purple and black.

Raph exhales when he leans against the Dust cargo, using the most that was covering Neo's vision to get over to Yang and Ruby.

" How is she that slippery! I can't land a single hit on her." Yang whisper shouts as she glances over to the others fighting away at Roman and the Lieutenant. Ruby perks up getting a idea.

Ruby locks Crescent Rose and turns towards the two hot heads." I have a idea! Cover me!" Ruby says jumping forward.

" She always got one." Raph presses the blunt end of the sais's, changing them to automatic guns. He twirls them and leaps forward.

" Blake, Weiss, parasol!'' Ruby fired Crescent Rose, while it was in it's sniper rifle form, which knocked off Jason's tempo as he fought against Leonardo, Blake and Weiss. Leonardo aims his katana's up at The Lieutenant, realizing Ruby's plan.

" Guys, Chainsaw guy!" Leonardo snaps as Jason pulls at his chainsaw. Blake and Weiss nod at him. Blake flips backwards as Weiss stabs into the ground, summoning a glyph under her heels and sending her back.

"Sun! Go get the police!" Blake calls towards the taller Faunus.

" What?!-"

" Go!" Sun is hesitant, then nods and runs off.

It was at that point that Roman Torchwick decided he may have over stayed his welcome. He quickly grabbed Neo's hand and signaled Jason that they were leaving. With a unhinged groan and began to retreat. Jogging over to the resting Bullhead, Roman was interrupted as Don and Mikey landed in front of him.

"Sorry pal, but you're not going anywhere!" Don threatened, as he and Mikey aimed their weapons at Torchwick. Torchwick grumbled and raised his cane.

"I can't believe I have to be the one doing this." He stated, before charging in. The two teams fired at them. The turtles swung their weapons at Torchwick. Torchwick swung at Mikey, who slid under it towards Don, who leaped into the air. Raph used one gun to shoot himself forward as he made quick stabs at Roman, who locked them, though wasn't for long. Don flipped over Roman and swung out with his staff, catching Roman and sending him stumbling into Mikey's flaming nunchuck surprise. Backing up, Roman grimaced and glared at the two. He fired several times, but Mikey was able to deflect both shots and the two edged closer. Leonardo came in at Roman, slicing quickly at him. Ruby fired Crescent Rose into the ground, which sent her higher up into the air. She fired into the ground.

Roman sent Neo off with Jason as he turned around, he smirked unloading a last stitch attempted to escape. His cane sparkled with electricity and aimed it at the teens following after them with a wicked smile.

"You brats have been a pain in this operation for to long! You deserve a reward!" In a instant, a vibrant electrical bullet shot forward at them. It could have took them out for sure, until a row of glyph's appeared! Breaking the destructive explosion down, one by one.

Roman looked as if he was going to explode.

" Give it up Torchwick, it's finished." Leonardo threatened.

Roman shook his head. "Kids, freaks, or whatever you are, this isn't even close to being finished. You don't know what you just started" Torchwick threatened before the curved head of his can shot out between them, a long cable connecting it to the rest of the cane. It hooked around one of the discarded swords and he pulled it back. Catching it, he swung the blade, sending an arc of lightning at the turtles. Grimacing, the two leaped back to avoid it. Roman took the chance and dashed ahead. Turning around, Roman swung the sword into the ground, a shock wave rushing back and hitting the two turtles as they landed, knocking them backwards. They groaned as they looked up and saw Roman, Neo and The White Fang Lieutenant get into the rising Bullhead, joined by the last surviving Bullhead, the two flew off. The Bullhead takes off. Blake tries to go after it, but the others hold her back and nod "no." Blake only sighed allowing it.

" Are you all okay?" Penny worriedly stated, approaching the group.

" Penny, that was amazing! Thank you so much!" Ruby exclaimed, hugging Penny tightly.

" Anything for my friends!" Penny cheered as Donnie walked over.

" Really, thank you Penny. I don't think we'd would have been able to pull threw if you guys didn't come just in time." Donnie added. His eyes widen as Penny pulls him in for a tight hug, smiling brightly.

" Also, excuse me. When did you guys get new weapons!? They're amazing!" Ruby points out, gushing over the turtles new weapons. As Ruby went on blubbering on about there newest weapons, Blake and Weiss share at awkward glance towards each other, and Yang is nervous about the tension. Leonardo notices the more quietness of the rest of team RWBY was being. With a sigh, Weiss walks off, and Blake sighs. She was ready to face her actions and consequences.

" Here." Weiss holds Blake's missing bow out to her, smiling." Well, don't just stare."

" R-Right." Blake takes the bow." Thanks.." She puts it back on. They're both still silent.

" So…" Mikey was about to start, until police sirens go off in the distance, startling them all.

" Oh boy… what do we-" Donnie looks back at the glowing lights. The guys were still not use to being so open now. Sometimes they'd forget they were in Remnant again. They were a bit uncomfortable being surrounded like this without a disguise. But, they didn't feel that running away and leaving Blake, Sun, Ruby, Yang, Weiss and Penny behind was the right thing to do. However, they weren't expecting Weiss of all people to stand up for the turtles. It practically shocked everyone, expect for Donnie, Ruby and Penny.

" Roman Torchwick hired some thugs to impersonate the White Fang."

" Huh?" Mostly everyone questioned.

" That's our story. Understood?"

The group gave small nods to each other, while Weiss let her smile stay on Blake, who returned the smile to her.

Team RWBY, Team LMDR, PENNY, and SUN were all sitting against lose cracks around the dock as police officers secure the scene. After everything they went threw this was what they needed. Blake and Weiss were quiet near each other not knowing much to say after there argument a few nights ago, thankfully however and officer walks over and hands Weiss a cup of tea.

" Tea, Ms. Schnee?" She offered.

" Yes. Thank you." Weiss takes it as the officer walks off

" Huh? I didn't take you as someone who drinks tea." Leonardo expressed.

" I don't." Weiss hands Blake the tea, though she's unsure to say the least.

" Are you going to do that every time I perform an act of kindness?" Weiss questioned, worriedly.

"S-Sorry…" Blake takes the tea and sips it.

"..Suppose I deserve that, after all I said."

" Great...talking about the fight-" Raph was going to say something about the fight, but Yang nudges him a little, watching hopefully with Ruby. Though, Sun and Penny decided to stay out of it, well more of Sun did.

"..Weiss… I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with them-"

" Stop." Blake froze in her tracks.

" Do you have any idea how long everyone was searching for you?" The whole group was silent, not knowing if this'll go well.

" Twenty-eight. Hours. That means I've had twelve-eight hours to think about this. And in those twelve-eight hours, I've decided… I don't care."

"..You don't… care?"

" I mean, of course I care! About you,.. I mean." Blake gave a confused look towards Weiss as she sighed.

" Look, I may not like the White Fang. I might always hate them. But… that doesn't mean I have to disrespect the Faunus when they're just trying to live. You said you weren't in the White Fang anymore, right?"

" N-No, I haven't been since I was-

" Upupupupup! I don't want to hear it. All that matters is that you are here, and we're all together, safe and sound. And all I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up… you'll trust in your teammates. Your partners. And your..friends."

Weiss gestures to Yang, who smiles. Ruby, who was holding back herself from tearing up, and the turtles each of them giving there own confidnet looks towards Blake. She starts to tear up, but dries her eyes, giving a nod.

" Of course." WEISS smiles back at her.

" Would you… mind a hug?" Blake gives her a nods. Weiss inches herself forward and hugs her tightly. Blake slowly hugs her back.

"Yeah, Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby cheered in excitement now that her team wa back together and seemed to be solving there problems.

" Group hug!" Yang throws her arms out.

" I'm not much of hug guy." Donnie rubbed the back of his neck.

" I'm not much of a affectionate guy either-''

" Yang, Raph really likes hugs." Raph glared daggers at Leonardo. They all were quickly pulled into a giant hug, with Yang squeezing them all tightly in her hold . Sun smiles over the group, leaning back. Ready to leave Blake now that she was with her team again. Standing up off the box he was about to get going when all of a sudden.

" Oh no, monkey boy. You think you can escape me!" Sun groans loudly as he was pulled back into Yang's inescapable hug.

" Ack-! How?!"

" Dude, it's a hug! Enjoy yourself!" Mikey joked being squished into Donnie's side and Ruby' arm.

" Is she t-This! Strong!" Sun gasps.

" You have no idea Sun.." Blake commented with a smile at her partner.

"-Hey, wait, weren't you that stowaway?" Weiss pointed out to him. Sun nervously chuckles. Weiss sighs, chilling herself out.

" It's fine. I'll give you another chance." Weiss states before she wags her finger in his face. " Don't mess this up."

" Actually.." Blake enters, placing a arm on his shoulder."..A old friend of mine.." Looking back at the turtles, she sighs realizing what she has to do. Blake walked over, sighing.

" Leonardo I... I'm sorry for what I said. I was doing the exact same thing as you." Blake apologized sincerely.

Leonardo smiled and shook it off. "No its fine... you're not the only one who was wrong about how they handled things." Leonardo said, and for the first time Blake gave the four brothers a small smile. As she walked off back to her team, Raph leaned in.

"Uh bro, what da shell was that?" The hot head asked. Leo shook his head. "I'll tell you all when we get back." Leonardo said.

Everything seemed to be looking up for the two teams. After everything they've been threw in these few weeks it was nice to finally be able to with everyone.

" You guys did so good! Those new weapons are awesome!" Yang complemented, getting a good look over over the turtles new weapons. Ruby pops forward nodding.

" They're amazing! Look at them! They look just like your older ones! They have different stages as well!" Ruby went on in excitement. The rest of team RWBY chuckled at Ruby's antics." And let's not forget Penny and those awesome laser swords!" Ruby looks around realizing something.

Donatello's eyes widen noticing as well." Hey… where is Penny?

Team RWBY looks around as Team LMDR gets up doing the same. Over in a car, Penny sadly watches the two teams.

" You should know better than to wander into a situation that dangerous without proper approval."

" I know, sir.." The window rolls up as the car drives away.

" Penny, your time will come." The stealthy car speeds away into the night as the shattered moon glows brightly over the Docks.

Inside a old dirty warehouse, Roman, Neo, and Jason stood exhausted from the fighting they endured threw the docks.

" Those freaky's and brats…" Roman grumbles grabbing his lighter, only to be slapped by Jason. Neo's eyes widen as her more exhausted expression turns to a enraged one instantly.

"What the-!"

" I told you. Master Taurus wants the Faunus girl alive!"

" Hey, leave your enemy alive, they'll kill you. Excuse me for having sense!"

Jason readies his chainsaw as Neo jumps forward, grabbing her parasol getting ready to mess Jason up to protect Roman from his attacks. Though, she gets held back.

" Neo, No."

"~Now, now, children." The three go silent at the voice, all shutting up quickly as a woman steps forward, walking into the light. With two others standing behind her.

" Tonight was a good night. You managed to grab all of the artwork, and more importantly, all the Dust and Paladins. Well done, Mr. Torchwick. Mr. Reavey.~" The Lieutenant salutes her, while Roman only sighs.

'' Told ya not to worry, Cinder.'' Roman tried reminding her. But she seemed more focus on another problem they faced now.

" Though… those children who got in your way."

"Oh boy…"

" We need to talk about them We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is... a little cooperation. And with a little help we'll be able to." She stated darkly. As her voice was soon interrupted by that of another booming voice.

" These are the underlings you've spoken of." Roman's eyes widen with Neo's as the thunderous steps of someone appear. A a bulky figure appears behind the smaller young lady as she smirks. They snarled at the three.

" Yes, Tiger Claw. These three are just what we need for the plan." The three stared back at the towering figure. He looked nothing like they ever seen. Clearly not a Faunus. He was a towering Bengal Tiger crossed with a human. The three were in shock.

" What kind of faunus is that.." Roman murmured. Only to raise his hands up defensively as the creature, who was named Tiger Claw

apparently, growled back him. Neo defensively put's her arm up in front of Roman.

The White Fang Lieutenant steps forward, kneeling in front of them before speaking.

" Yes. We've located Rajani as Master Taurus instructed." Jason informed.

" We have. Though, I'm more concerned about two girls in particular."

" You mean the redhead with all the swords?" Roman questioned.

" Yes. But more so, the girl…" Cinder hand ignites with a flame smirking as her eyes glow as she's now fully visible while a girl with short mint green hair enters with a guy with short gray hair enters the light with her, standing next to the formidable Tiger Claw.

" With the silver eyes."
