Beacon Academy: Mercenaries Room
It had been a week since the Merasmus incident, the students and mercenaries were getting along even better than before. The training from the mercenaries had ended for now, as they all were tired from the battle of Hightower and also because they had been training for a month straight before that. Jaune and Pyrrha were officially a couple and even though Jaune thought he wasn't good enough for her, he was quickly shut up by other Pyrrha or anyone else. The others had begun to see him in a new light. His fighting abilities still weren't completely up to par with the rest of them, but his leadership skills had become so prominent that he was basically the leader of both Team JNPR and Team RWBY.
It was the weekend and the mercenaries were hosting a type of indoor barbecue for the students. Heavy was in the kitchen teaching Ren how to cook Sandvich's correctly, while Pyro stood outside keeping out Nora and Ruby. Scout and Yang were playing a fighting game on one of the TV's and were in a hot competition. Yang had thought it would be easy, as she was pro at the game but Scout had been able to learn very quickly and it soon became quite the struggle. Engineer was on a makeshift mechanical beach chair with an umbrella over his head and at his side a small table with beer (The Rancho Relaxo). Weiss was doing homework in the corner, and for once she was having a lot of trouble with the material but Medic came to the rescue and offered to help and she accepted, a little surprised, but grateful all the same and he pulled up a chair and began to help her out. Soldier and Demoman were sitting together and talking about the old times when they we would go outside together as best friends and have fun. They roared at laughter at the hilarious things they would do and cursed out the Administrator for making them stop, though she did move Soldier from the BLU team and onto the RED team as compromise. Sniper was laying on his bed, reading a book about the forms of Grimm and thinking about when he could go out pop a few of their heads off. Blake, Spy, Jaune, and Pyrrha were sitting on the couch and watching the other TV that Scout and Yang weren't using and watching the news. Jaune held Pyrrha's hand as leaned her head on his shoulder. Since the Scout teasing, no one had teased them. On the contrary, everyone had supported it, except maybe for Soldier who said it would distract Jaune from the battle, but he was ignored. Blake just sat watching the TV with no real interest and was engrossed in her own thoughts. Spy, who was watching because he wanted to learn more about the world of Remnant, turned to her and asked, "Something on your mind Miss Belladonna?"
She turned to over at Spy who was smiling gently while as always, smoking a cigarette. She was about to answer, when the TV suddenly caught everyone's attention. "Breaking News! Another Dust Shop in the city of Vale has been robbed! Like all the other incidents, no money was taken but instead all the Dust was taken instead. Authorities are still trying to figure out who the culprit is, but a large suspect is wanted criminal Roman Torchwick. Also that if it is him, then we believe he is working with others to pull of multiple of these heist successfully. We are trying to link him to any criminal organization and are so far investigating the terrorist group, the White Fang."
Blake shut off the TV. She couldn't watch this. It just reminded her of her past and how she is doing nothing to stop her former- "Well of course it's him, we know that from Ruby, since she fought him after he robbed a Dust shop and was accepted to Beacon a few hours later. And of course its those filthy degenerates the White Fang!" said Weiss shaking her head like it was the obvious answer. Blake turned to her, anger rising. "Degenerates?" Weiss looked over to her and said snobbishly, "Yes, the White Fang are radical faunus that just want cause mayhem and ruin peoples lives. They keep attacking the Dusts shops to my family's company! The Schnee Dust Company has been falling since these robberies. If it was me these filthy excuses for living beings would be locked up!"
Blake stood up and her face was contorted in rage, but she somehow kept her voice level, "The White Fang may be a little misguided and-" "Misguided!" shouted Weiss getting up as well and walking up Blake, also fuming, "They are nothing but filth. You cannot excuse their actions!"
"WELL MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE SHIT!" roared Blake.
There was an uncomfortable silence as everyone stared at Blake. She realized what she had said and stepped back a little and put her hand over her mouth. "Us?" asked Weiss, dangerously calm. Blake looked to the door and was about to make a run but Weiss locked the door and said still in the same dangerous voice, "What did you mean by 'us'" Blake was frozen. Her worst fear had been realized. She had not just let slip that she was a faunus but also part of her past. Weiss advanced slowly, her eyes icy, but before she could yell again, Scout got up and stood between her and Blake. "Woah woah woah! Hold up! So what? Are you telling me you haven't known."
"Known what," Weiss asked looking up at Scout angrily. He just stared right back and said, "That's she's a cat thing or whatever you call it." Leave it to Scout to break a tense moment. But the point was still obvious. All the students stared at Blake who was trembling. She looked for help and her eyes fell on Spy. Spy just nodded and mouthed, "Tell the truth."
Blake sighed and reached up and took off her black bow and revealed her cat ears. The students gasped and stared at the faunus. The mercenaries however didn't react, they had known all along. Even Scout had noticed the twitching every once in a while. "I was part of the White Fang ever since I was small child. My father used to be the leader and whenever we had our non-violent protests I would always be there. Then my father stepped down and a new leader emerged. Adam Taurus. He thought differently from my father and instead of doing friendly protest, he changed the organization from a peaceful protest group to a violent terrorist group that caused mayhem and ruined everyone's lives. Even other faunus were effected as some that did not agree with their methods were considered traitors. But it put us faunus in a new light of fear. We were never equal to humans but now we are treated better because of fear. Adam had... let's just say a thing for me and wanted me to become his queen in his organization. I would have stayed and even agreed, but I didn't want this violence and terrible crimes to what I did. So I left to become a Huntsman, to become good to the whole world and try to make the White Fang see a better light and return to it's old peaceful self. But if necessary I will take them down. And this Roman Torchwick has something to do with them."
She looked around nervous. She was expecting the students to shun her and hate her. Then Ruby walked up to Blake and hugged her. Blake stiffened but then realized that Ruby was crying to her shoulder and she hugged her back. Blake looked over her shoulder and saw Weiss, looking sad and very guilty. "I'm... Sorry Blake," said Weiss. Blake nodded. She understood why Weiss had been effected more than the others. Here dad owned the Dust shops that were being stolen and it must have been told to her from her father about how these faunus were filth. Yang also walked over and hugged Blake. "I'm sorry to Blake," sobbed Ruby, "I didn't know." "Don't apologize Ruby," consoled Blake as she patted the little reapers shoulder, "It was my fault. I was too scared to tell anyone. But I forgot what amazing friends I have." She looked over at Tam JNPR, who were smiling at her. Then she turned to Spy who regarded her with something akin to pride.
"Alright! Hug time is over!" Soldier yelled, and everyone jumped at the sudden loud noise. He stood up and walked up to Blake as she, Ruby and Yang untangled themselves. "If you want to look for these people, then lets start!"
Ruby also brightened up. "Yes! Let's hatch a plan!"
City Of Vale: Secret White Fang Base
In large warehouse, near the outskirts of of the city, large crates of Dust were being stored. The White Fang members, in their usual white clothes and Grimm masks, were moving the overseeing the storage and keeping an eye out for intruders. At the center of the warehouse stood a man in a white suit and a black bowler if a red feather tucked into the red band on it. With his long bright orange, almost reddish, hair that covered one eye and his over eye lined with black eyeliner, the man looked very similar to Alex from Clockwork Orange. But this wasn't Alex, but Roman Torchwick himself. He leaned on a desk and was inspecting a large red dust crystal when four people came up to him. One was a teenage girl in a white jacket and a black corset under it. With her hair brown on one side and pink with small white stripes on the other, she looked like a human version of neapolitan ice cream. Even her eyes shifted colors as she walked and she seemed to always have a slightly seductive smile present. Next to her stood a teenage boy wearing a black and grey jacket, and wore armored arms. He wore long black pants and shoes to cover up his prosthetic legs. His hair was gray and slightly slicked back and he walked as if he owned the place. On his other side stood a teenage girl with short mint-green hair. She wore a white top with a green undershirt underneath and white shorts with a brown belt over it. In front of the three stood a beautiful woman with a red minidress that seemed to glow with yellow light. Her hair was long and black, while her eyes were bright amber and seemed to gleam magically.
Roman straightened up and pocketed the red dust crystal as the people approached and said, "Well, look who's here. I think you will be very pleased with what I have come up with." The neapolitan looking girl walked over to Roman and hugged him not saying anything. "Ah hello Neo, there you are I hope you stayed out of trouble." The girl called Neo looked up at him and nodded. The boy in grey hair scoffed. "You really are just a thief. I mean, your basically completely useless to us," the boy said snobbishly. Before Roman could respond, the women in red turned to the boy sharply saying, "That's enough Mercury." Mercury didn't say anything but backed away al little. The mint-haired girl next to giggled at him for being so stupid and he turned to angrily stare at her but she pointed at the women in front and Mercury stopped. The women in red turned back to Roman smiling, "Thank you Roman. However, we have no need for this Dust anymore. Find a place to hid it. Use the White Fang members that Adam has provided us with to help you. Neo will stay with you in case anything happens." Roman nodded a little as Neo stood next to him happily. "And what after that?" he asked. The women turned away and looked out into space imagining the destruction of Beacon. "Well, me Mercury and Emerald are gonna become "transfer students" at Beacon academy," she said calmly as Roman gaped at her. "Your sneaking into Beacon?" he asked incredulously, "But that's incredibly dangerous to do so right-" "Enough!" the women ordered, turning back to him, her amber eyes glowing angrily. "What I do is my choice Roman. Your just do what you are told, understood?"
Roman nodded, terrified of the women in front of her. "Good," she smiled again and then gestured to Mercury and Emerald and they left the warehouse leaving Roman with Neo and the White Fang members alone to deal with the tonnes of Dust that needed to be hidden.
Beacon Academy: Mercenaries Room
Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Sniper, Medic, Heavy, Demoman, and Soldier were getting ready to leave for the White Fang base. The plan had been simple. Spy had been able to get some records on the city of Vale and after close inspection, was able to conclude that the White Fang and Torchwick were hiding in an abandoned warehouse in a less populated part of town. The two teams, Sniper, Medic, Heavy, Demoman, and Soldier were to infiltrate the base and find Roman Torchwick and bring him into custody and expose the White Fang. To make the mission team not to large Spy reasoned that he Scout, Engineer, and Pyro should stay.
"But why you?" asked Blake confused why the master of stealth would be sitting out for an infiltration mission. "Because I need to stay and direct you to the location. And I'm the only who can because I know how to get there with all the shortcuts so as not to get noticed," explained Spy simply. It didn't seem like a very logical explanation but the teams decided to just roll with it. Scout though was not very happy. "Why the hell am I not going?" he asked Spy with great annoyance. "Because your loud and I need you here as the speedy reinforcement if something goes wrong," said Spy patiently. "You know these aren't the greatest explanations pally," said Scout as he moved around impatiently. Spy shrugged and just said, "Maybe, but could be vital."
"Aww is Scout mad cause he can't get his name in the headlines when we catch Torchwick and stop the White Fang," teased Yang evilly as she put on her coat. Scout's face went beat red as everyone roared with laughter. "Yeah, well at least I don't need to wear anything revealing to get people to notice me," retorted Scout pointing at Yang's chest which never really was covered and exposed part of her large cleavage. People stared at the two as they stared off. Then they both suddenly fell to the floor laughing. Confused even more the rest stared at the two writhing body's trying to figure out why Yang hadn't exploded and tried to beat Scout up. Finally they both sat up chucking slightly wiping tears of mirth away from their eyes.
"Ah, that was funny," said Yang and she high five'd Scout who obliged, but then was pulled into hard grip as Yang stared at him dangerously, "But be careful what you say about me, ok?" Scout nodded and she smiled and, to everyones utter disbelief, pecked him on the cheek. "Man your cute. You have the best sense of humor, unlike most guys." She nodded to everyone else and the group doing the infiltration were about to leave when Scout called out, "Wait Yang!"
Yang turned around to look and Scout suddenly looked very nervous. "Ummm... tomorrow, wanna go on a date?" he asked. Everyone stared at him. It wasn't the age cause he was only twenty one and Yang was almost eighteen so in that respect, there really wasn't any problem. But to just Yang out, the bombshell of the academy was quite big. Yang however just smiled and teased, "I would be honored to go with the "Force-Of-Nature." Scout looked up and smiled his cocky smile. Inside he was incredibly happy. He had scored a date with the hottest girl ever, and it was legal!
The group left and Scout lay on his bed happily while Spy and Engineer stood over the map of Vale and set up the two way walkie talkies that were connected to ear pieces that each person out on the mission had on. Pyro just sat down and began to look through his cosmetics. Spy began to say instructions into the walkie-talkie and Engineer went over to the kitchen to grab himself a beer. All seemed well until there was a knock on their door. Holding a beer, Engie went over and opened it to reveal three people, two girls and a boy. They were wearing Beacon uniforms. "Sorry to intrude but we are the new transfer student's and we need some help to find out room," said the girl in the middle who had black colored hair. She held out a piece of a paper and Engie took it and read the room number. Then he laughed a little as he handed it back and said jovially, "Well you right next to us, Team RWBY and Team JNPR! Come let me show you the way. Pyro! Scout! Could you both come as well." he yelled back into the room and was shortly joined by the two mercenaries. They walked out and led the three newcomers to the room that was very close by and opened the door for them.
"Thank you kindly," said the black haired women, "And if I may ask, what are your names." Engie took off his hard hat to reveal no hair and said politely, "Name's Engineer. And these are my two buddies; Scout and Pyro." Scout waved grinning his usual grin while Pyro just stared. Stared into the eyes of the three people and making them very uncomfortable. Then made a gasp within his gas mask and tugged at Engineer's sleeve and began to talk urgently. Or he was trying to but all that came out was, "mmph, mph, mmph!"
Engineer looked at him for a second though. Unlike most people he and Medic could understand him, barely but just enough to make out what it said, and still didn't get an answer about its gender. Then he turned back to the three "students" and put his hat back on and said kindly, "Sorry about that, it's just a little nervous. No need to panic," he said and then asked, "What are your fellas names?"
"I am Cinder Fall," said the tall girl smiling, "and this is Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai." She gestured at the other two who nodded at the three mercenaries. There was an awkward pause before Cinder continued, "well, thank you for showing us where to go. Have a goodnight." The three of them went inside their room and closed the door.
"Those three were weird," said Mercury as he crashed on his bed, "especially that one in the mask." Emerald nodded saying, "Yeah, it's like it knew something and plus its stare was just down right disturbing. At least we should have information on them in the records."
"We dont't."
Mercury and Emerald both turned to look at Cinder in surprise. She was looking out the window, thinking hard. There had been no records of these three people. And she had a feeling they were some of those fighters that she had been told had trashed Junior's club. If so, her plans had just become way more complicated.
And we will call that a chapter! Don't worry I may add another chapter later today or early tomorrow morning but I wanted to make two separate chapters between the meeting with Cinder and the infiltration. I added Yang and Scout thing because it sounded good to me and I do like romance. If there are any strong objections, I will take them into count. But for now Reviews are always welcome and I will see you in the next chapter... BYE BYE!
