Jaune Arc day couldn't be any better. His kids were with their cousin Adrian for the day, he managed to get free from work for at least two days and he could finally catch up to all the TV-shows he had missed.

"Could the day get any bett-" The doorbell rang and Jaune could only hope he didn't jinx himself. "Please don't be work-related."

He brought up the video feed from the camera at the door and knew that he wouldn't get any time to binge today. The trip to the door was only a few steps from the living room, but he dragged it out as much as possible. Who knows, she might go away if he took long enough.

He opened the door to see the familiar black and red uniform. The person who wore it had a wide grin and her rabbit ears were fully perked. At least one of them was happy.

"Hey Velvet. I thought you were still in Mantle." He stepped aside to invite her in. "Weren't you investigating rumours about a Silver-eyed demon up there?"
She stepped inside, but not before she gave him a hug. "Nice seeing you too Jaune. Do I have to tell Juniper that her son has forgotten how to greet someone, again?"

"No, please don't" He wasn't sure if he could survive another three-hour lecture. "It's just a surprise to see you."

"And?"

"And it's nice to see you." He sighed. "But why are you here though? If your mission is done shouldn't you be on leave until a new one comes in."

The wide grin morphed into a frown and she audibly groaned.

"Well, the rumours from Mantle were false and it turned out just be a person with a weird shade of grey as eye colour. Most reported sightings of them are like that and there was, of course, a new sighting as soon as my transport landed in Vale."

"Why wouldn't they ask someone else?"

"Because I am apparently the only one qualified that's currently in the city. And they can't wait for someone else since Imperial security protocols demand an investigation as soon as possible when a sighting is reported. I came here as soon as I saw the report." She activated her scroll and sent over a file to his scroll.

He read the file and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "It was reported by two teenagers. Is this seriously something that needs to investigated as soon as possible?"

"That not why I came here, read further."

He read further and his eyebrow crept up higher. "A Pyrrha Nikos look-alike?" Of all the things that it could be. "How authentic are we talking about?"

"There's a picture that one of the boys managed to take before running away at the bottom." The picture at the bottom looked exactly like her when she was young. "She even had a fake ID on her and kept saying that she was Pyrrha Nikos. What do you say, Want to come with?"

"Me?"

"Yep, it sort of concerns you since Pyrrha is your wife and with your help, I can be done with the investigation twice as fast." She pleaded to him. "Please help me, I can hear my bed calling for me and I want nothing more than to answer its call."

"Sure, let me just change first and we'll get you to bed in no time." How could he not help when one of his oldest friends asks for his help.

"Thanks, I'll call in a dragonfly and we'll be there in five minutes. Try not to puke in this one!" She yelled the last part as he went into his bedroom.

"It was one time Velvet!"

Glynda Goodwitch had seen and done a lot of weird things in her life as a huntress. She once tried to fight a beringel, in her underwear, barehanded. Glynda was really drunk after that party. But the situation she was in now had to be the weirdest one yet.

She couldn't remember much from what happened before they woke up here. Only bits and pieces and she were too distracted by her surroundings to think much about that. James, Winter, Weiss and Glynda had woken up in a city that easily beat Atlas in magnificence.

The buildings size and architecture made her feel small and uneasy. Wherever they are must have a powerful military if they managed to build a city this big. Which makes no sense when Atlas, with the world strongest army, couldn't build anything like this.

They tried to contact people with their scrolls, but there was no connection to a network and the people around them were no help either. They avoided them for some unknown reason.

"We should stick together for now," James said. "At this point, we should just walk in a direction and hope we get lucky."

"Are you off all people suggesting we rely on luck" Glynda couldn't believe what she heard.

"It's surprising to me too, but in this situation, there's not a lot we can do."

And that's what they did and they did get lucky. Weiss' scroll got a signal from one of her friends scroll, at least that's what Glynda thought. She didn't get time to ask since Weiss of all people ran the instant she brought up her scroll.

That they didn't lose her in the crowd was only thanks to her distinctive hair colour and that the crowd still did their best to avoid them. They had to only run a few hundred meters until they had to stop when a giant crowd of people stood in the way. Weiss tried to get past the crowd, but they didn't budge or avoid her this time.

"Why can't I get past them, the tracker says they are right past this crowd." She turned around and caught sight of them then, a blush crept up her cheeks and almost reached her ears. "I can't believe I did that."

"It's ok Weiss." She felt a little pride that she had changed so much since she started at Beacon. She would have never done that on her first day. "I only ask that you don't forget that we need to stay together in this kind of situation."

Weiss nodded and went back to her attempt to get past the crowd.

Glynda simply used her semblance to levitate herself higher so that she could see why such a big crowd gathered in the first place. She had a suspicion that team RWBY was somehow behind this, they managed to always show up where trouble appeared. Her suspicions were confirmed once she saw what had gotten everyone's attention.

Yang, Blake, Ren and Nora were in an argument with what she thinks are the police, she didn't recognize the uniform. They certainly acted like it and with the way the argument it wouldn't take long before a fight started. She had to step in and maybe she could get an answer.

She floated over the crowd and landed on the other side past a barricade that had been set up. The police officers quieted once they saw her to the confusion of her students. They turned around and Glynda could easily see the relief they felt when they saw her.

"Professor Goodwitch, I'm so glad that you've found us," Nora exclaimed. "These guys want to take our weapons for some made-up reason."

"It's not 'a made-up reason'." The police officers voice sounded exasperated as if this wasn't the first time he had said this. "You are breaking the law by carrying a weapon without a license in a public space."

"Without a license, didn't you show them your student ID?" Those IDs are valid in every kingdom and the police usually ignore huntsmen.

"We tried, but they said that they don't count." Yang looked annoyed at that. "Are you even real police officers?"

"It's not our identity that is in question. Call in a squad of Protectors, I don't think they are going to listen to reason at this point."

"They'll be here at any moment, HQ had already sent out a dozen because of a situation in the Emerald National Park." They shook their head in disappointment. "And I almost thought I would be able to go home early today."

She didn't get time to talk more as four identical androids landed not too far from them.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender citizen or we will be made to use force to stop you. "Their eyes glowed green as the next words were said." If you prove to be a danger to the public, we will then be authorized to use lethal force." The voice used was familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.

Glynda prepared for battle at their words and only hesitated when she realized who the voice sounded like.

"Penny?"
