"Stay for tonight
If you want to, I can show you
What my dreams are made of
As I'm dreaming of your face-"

"Hey, who turned off the music?" Shouted a angry Ruby who was currently making some breakfast for her friends."I did, dolt."Said the tired Schnee,"Where's the asprin?"
"Cabinet to your right." Weiss grumbled out a thank you as she downed 3 of the white pills and tossed the bottle over her shoulder to a groggily swaying Blake who grunted a good morning to both. Ruby smiled cheerfully at her suffering teamates, she herself had never had the problem called a hangover before. Probably because she paces herself while they go nuts and leave her to carry them home.
A loud thump from upstairs, followed by an even louder groan, signaled the three to the blonde brawler's awakening. Fifteen minutes later a freshly showered Xiao Long tridged down the stairs, sat in her chair and slammed her head on the table with a tired "Ow". "Aspirin and food to your left." noted Blake as she flipped to the morning news on the kitchen tv, indulging herself in her fish sandwich. With practised ease Weiss caught the plate when Yang dropped it off the edge, placed it in front of her, then flipped to the next page in the newspaper. "Thanks, ice queen."
"Whatever. Stop calling me that."she took a peice of bacon from Yang and took another bite from her blueberry waffle.
Ruby checks her watch before ushering her tired teamates into the car and setting on for work. They were waiting at a stoplight when Ruby's phone rang, shaking her out of her impromptu nap,"Officer Rose speaking."
"Rose, this is central. You and your team are to get to Forever Falls Forest ASAP. We have a Code Yellow." Ruby stiffened for a second,"Alright, we on our way now, sir." Ruby dropped her phone, turned on the siren and hit the gas. "What's going on, Ruby?" a nervouse Blake questioned.
"There's a Code Yellow at Forever Fall Forest. We're needed ASAP. So get your gear on." This was not the voice of a cheerful Ruby. This was her operation voice and they knew it.
They arrived at the entrance to the forest, pushing their way through the press and local law enforcement. Following the technicians from BEACON they arrived in a open field and roght in the middle of it was the a giant hole,the dismembered body a large brown bear, and Director Ozpin.
"Sir, team RWBY is ready and at your service, sir." Belted Ruby in her strictest tone possible. Ozpin looked at her team and gave a small smile,"Good. Now follow me please." Yang looked on confused as to where he was leading them until they arrived at a large surveillance van. Inside was his second in command Glynda Goodwitch as well as another team they didn't know personally, team JNPR. "Sit, please." RWBY filed in and sat together by a large computer console. "I know your probably wondering why your here, I will get to that. But first, introductions."
Pointing toba scraggy haired blonde man,"This is Jaune Arc, leader of JNPR, swordsman, and descendent of the great Arc clan." Jaune nodded and awkwardly waved."To his right is Pyrrha Nikos, daughter of General Nikos from the last Grimm War, tech expert and a skilled marksman." Pyrrha waved and grinned, "Hello there." She said in a cheery voice. "Next is Nora Valkyrie, an interrogation specialist." The ginger haired girl gave an almost maniacal smile to the girls. "Finally is Lie Ren, munitions specialist and expert in anything supernatural." The man with the pink eyes nodded,"Please call me Ren."
"Know they are already aware of you girls, seems your pretty popular, especially when it comes to explosions." Yang scratched the back of neck and looked away guiltily. "Now as of this moment your 8 are in a special taskforce known as Hunters. Along with another four who you will meet later. Your job is to combat a threat known only as The Rise." The teams gazed at the Director in confusion as he nodded to Glynda who keyed up a console. "What you saw outside was just the begining," the screen showed a feed from a satelite,"last night we picked up a strange reading. It showed us, as you can see, some kind dark energy with the intensity of an atomic bomb. You saw the scorched earth and trees, some were even turned to ash we found." Another video portrayed what looked like the clearing before the destruction,"A helicopter exploration team took this video." The bear looked to be stuck to the ground as a blackened figure limped towards it before biting in and draining it of flesh and blood. Jaune visibly paled then turned green. Weiss felt the chill she felt the day before again, as she had since stepping into the forest. "Right now, your job is to find and capture this creature-"
"Sir?" He looked to Pyrrha who had her hand partially raised."Yes."
"Why capture the creature?" Ozpin smiled at her,"Yes. It would be preferable for it to be captured as, according to ancient records, this specific being is the "One Who Walks The Boundary", rumored to be able to stop The Rise, if tamed." Pyrrha nodded in understanding."When do we start then?"
"Right now of course." Ozpin said.
4 Hours Later
"This building will be your base of oparations until this is complete. Any questions?" Jaune raised his hand,"Good. I wish you all happy hunting." Ozpin and Glynda drove off leaving the 8 in front of a massive house. Ren used the key given to him to get them in and all fighters stopped and stared.
The place was not only outfittes with the most advanced security but it had amazing tech, that Pyrrha imediately gushed over. A kitchen fit for 20 with top of the line applainces causing Ruby to squee and the emotionless man known as Ren to grin. The basement had a humongous training room and gym, Nora and Yang hi-fived. The living room was also amazing, fit with a huge interactive console/tv made from Atlas technology that can used for operation briefings or simple playing around with the gaming systems, Jaune and Weiss grinned, but she left when he called her Snow Angel. Blake wouldn't be found untill dinner as her new favorite room became the magnificent library filled with books by her favorite authors she didn't know existed.
Before they got settled a knock at the door brought in the last members of Hunters, team CFVY who were late because of a mission. After eating dinner together, chatting about each other some more, Weiss flinging mashed potatoes at Jaune when he hits on her again, they group went to bed around 9:30. Enjoying the Egyptian cotton sheets.
In Team RWBY's Home
A tall figure with light brown skin, blood red hair, and black markings climbs in through the front window, ignoring the cuts they received, the wounds would be healed before they stood from the floor. The naked intruder walks through the home, sniffing at the strange items it sees. It opens the fridge, digging though containers, eating only the meats and fruits. It likes fruit. They were chewing on another plum when they caught the scent of its target. It traveled up the steps to the room, spitting out the nasty center of the fruit as it walked. The first room was too bright, the next was too dark, another looked like bear's red juice, the last one was it.
Pushing open the barrier, it found the source but not the target. It would have to settle for the remaining scent she left behind. It smells of snow and more berry. They looked at a photo of four females smiling together in strange skins. The middle one was her, it was White Snow. She was so pretty. It made the figure sad it didn't have her yet. But I will soon. White Snow will belong to Black Flame. It thought cheerfully as it took the photo and decided to find some of these strange skins they wore so no one would know she does not belong. None of the skins there fit right, it was getting angry till it rembered it saw a place with many skins.
Taking some more of the fruits in the fridge it climbed out and ran on the rooftops of the strange places. Finding the place that held the skins, it went through the unmoving barrier and found some skins that felt right. More persons in strange skins holding metal came from the back and Black Flame had to make them stop moving.
Looking at White Snow's face again it took off after the delectable scent. You will belong to Black Flame.
