And his name was Thomas
Ok so you all should know what's going to be coming up in the coming chapters but a little disclaimer. While in certain aspects my plans are less horrible than that the actual show's, to some it may seem worse. This is the last one before we get to the dark stuff. Have fun.
I met Thomas when Blake and I were helping out the poor Faunus way back when. He was a mouse Faunus and had actually become quite infamous. He was very good at thieving but I had thought we had managed to talk him out of it. "Look Thomas, why are you stealing again?" I ask him after explaining my familiarity to him to the rest of my team.
He looks around for a bit, nervously tapping his fingers together before sighing. "Oh gees. Well Damien, it goes like this. Something big's about to go down and everyone in this city's on edge. I've been trying to get enough money to get out of here but with everything's that's happened I just went back to what I know."
I sigh before going into my wallet and taking out about fifty lien and handing it over to him. "Look Thomas, you really need to stop. Take this and leave." He snached the money up before taking off.
Soon after Sarge and co came over. "Damien, was that the thief?" I just chuckle and shake my head. "Darn, well remember we are sworn to protect this city, with our very lives if we have to!" He exclaimed.
"Um, I hope you don't mean all of us sir." Grid added while munching on some good he'd picked up while walking around. "Why yes, I expect all of you to die protecting your city. Even if I have to kill you myself grif!" And with that their conversation moved out of earshot.
We just stand there for a little bit before Nathan asks, "wait, what are we going to do? We didn't actually do anything."
"Or have we?" I add as I pull out my scroll which shows a red dot moving around the fairgrounds. "I put a tracking chip in the money. Thomas will lead us right to bigger fish."
We went after him for a long time before we began to near the edges of the city. Suddenly he ducked into a dark alley way. When we went to investigate it looked like he disappeared. "Look around a bit." Soon after Gabby went and knocked over a wooden board revealing a button. Once pressed a door appeared with stairs leading further down. "Well come on." Andrea said before disappearing into the darkness, one by one we followed.

The stairs were dark and wound down eventually showing a dim light. We all poked our head around the corner and we're amazed by what we saw. It looked like an underground warehouse. There were shipping containers stacked almost to the ceiling and nearby we could see three figures. One was obviously Thomas but the other two I didn't recognize.
They were both Faunus but one was large and stocky with small, moose like antlers poking out from either side of his head. The other was thin and short, with deer antlers resting on his head. "What the fuck is this Thomas!" The short one yelled, snatching the money out of his hand. "We need things, not money. Once the White Fang get rid of all the humans the Faunus are going to need trinkets, comfort items, and the Buck brothers are going to be the ones to sell them. We're gonna be rich!" And with that yell he began cackling evilly.
I merely shake my head. "Ok, you three go and distract them. I'll go around and set fire to different parts of the warehouse. I'll teleport back and rush everyone out. Got it?" Once everyone nods I pop over to different part of the building and begin setting fire to whatever looks like it'll catch fire the easiest. I can hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. Once my pyromaniac side was satisfied, I give a quick text to sarge about where I'll drop off those Buck guys.
By now the smoke from the fire has covered most of the warehouse so I run over to the entryway. There everyone was grouped close together so I just tackled everyone and piped back out into the street. There was a small rumble and then silence. Soon the police arrived and took the three of them away.
With our jobs done we start heading back to Beacon. On the way we stop by a tv shop that was showing footage of the tournament. "Hey look, Pyrrha's fighting penny." No sooner had I said that then Pyrrha launched back the swords on wires back at Penny, chopping her into pieces and killing her.
Sorry for the long wait I've been really busy. But now the filler is over and the other stuff can finally begin.
Arrivederci.
