A/N:
Here is another chapter for Phantom, and I am sorry for the delays since I am busy these past few days and also I have caught up on reading of other fics,
Also I don't know if I will be here in January since there is a chance of me being shipped out soon… for a year so I won't be able to update much…
I hope you will enjoy these chapter, and try checking out my other RWBY fic in my profile or look for RWBY: of the faint smile.

A few days have past when Summer agreed to train Ruby on the usage of her eyes, at first Ruby struggled to maintain control, and after a few meditation from Summer the little reaper have improved bit by bit. And their classes continue as normal and the preparation for the Vytal Festival draws near.
Now Team RWBY found themselves at the docks, as Weiss led the team around.
"Remind me why we are using our weekend to come here again?" Yang complained
"I don't know… Weiss being all cheery is kinda weird me out…" Ruby added as the Heiress turned to face the young Rose "Oh don't be like that Ruby!" she exclaimed while pointing her finger at said girl "The Vytal Festival is a festival dedicated to show off the other cultures of the other kingdoms!"
"And the docks?" Yang asked again "Yeah, and the smell of fish… ughh" Ruby added while pinching her nose
"I heard that students from Vacuo will be arriving by ship, and as a representative of Beacon we must show them hospitality!" Weiss remarked earning a small snort from Blake
"She just wants to spy on them" She added
"What! How could you… I… I'm not spying on them" Weiss said not sounding convincing
"Hey is that Cyclonis?" Ruby suddenly said while pointing at said girl talking to an armored man
"Huh what she doing here, and who's she talking to?" Yang said and as Weiss looks at the man inquisitively, "Never seen that kind of armor before" she added
"Uhh… guys" Blake said as she pointed at a shop in which its window was broken and being surrounded by police tape
"Woah!" Ruby said as she approach two officers talking "Umm… excuse what happened here?"
"Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." the police said as he walked towards his partner
"Yea, and it the same thing, the money wasn't taken but the dust were." his partner said
"Who need this much dust?" the first officer said, which his partner shrugged "Dunno, the White Fang?"
"You know what we don't get payed enough…" which they then proceed to enter leaving the huntress in training behind.
Weiss Huffs "Well the White Fang… bunch of degenerates to me" which angered Blake at her comment "Whats your problem?"
Taken aback from the hostility from Blake, Weiss retorts back "My problem? I just don't care for the criminally insane."
"Their just misguided!" Blake said back as the two bicker with both Ruby and Yang watching, another voice spoke out
"Vell considering zat zey did stole all zis dust, I agree with Snow Vight here."
"Rip!" Ruby said as two figures went towards them "You also brought Aliasse too, but wheres…."
"Kallari?" Aliasse said earning a nod from Ruby "She said she was busy and can't come, said she needed to stock up for her gear" then she looked at the two quarreling girls "Whats going on?"
"Oh just a dispute about the general opinion of the White Fang" another voice answered the group turned as Cyclonis made her way towards them followed by Kallari "In my opinion they are more than misguided, they are desperate and rather take the shortcut through terrorism."
"No your…" Blake started but a glance from Cyclonis made her remember about that night, "but that doesn't mean every Faunus is a criminal!"
Then suddenly a voice was heard shouting
"Hey! Stop that Faunus!" a man yelled as a monkey Faunus leaped out from a ship and ran away as officials chased him.
The Faunus looked back at his pursuers "Thanks for the ride guys! Haha!"
Weiss then looked at Blake with a raised eyebrow "My point exactly."
"That still doesn't finished this"
As they bicker the monkey Faunus ran between them and suddenly winked at Blake as he continued off, but was later stopped as a hand held his shirt and stopped him from running.
"Sun Wukong" the woman said, a familiar cloak fastened on her body "I have half the mind of reporting you to your headmistress." Summer scolded
"Hey!" another voice yelled this time two police officers "Thanks for catching the Faunus ma'am"
"No problem officer, however he is a visiting student, thus he will be under my jurisdiction as I report him to his school"
"I see…" the officer frowned "Just make sure he doesn't cause any trouble now"
"He won't officer, is that right mister Wukong?"
"Uhh yes Ma'am!" Sun said as Summer let him go, as teams RWBY and TRAK neared them "Oh! Hello there Ruby!" Summer said as she waved back at her and her daughter's team as well "come by at my office sometime if your free okay?"
"Yeah sure mom" Ruby said smiling
"Uhh Professor Rose what are you doing here?" Weiss asked the white cloaked woman
"Merely visiting Vale and helping the authorities about this dust robberies happening around."
"I see, and do you know who would do this?"
"No I haven't sorry but my suspicions are on Torchwick or the White Fang" Summer said while secretly glancing at Cyclonis who nodded as she spoke "Regardless this is not our business, lets leave this to the authorities and those who are responsible."
"Fine" Weiss grumbled as she led Ruby and the rest of RWBY with her. In scouting out more potential students for the Tournament.

After leaving Sun in the hotel he and the rest from Vacuo are staying, Summer walked towards the meeting place in Armonia Cafe, as night fell
"I swear this is going to kill me in the end" Summer grumbled
"Eh you worry too much Chica" Alahambra said as he placed some coffee on the table "If I were you I would take a break for time to time"
"You do know we are now on a sensitive part of the plan correct?" Summer said as she grind her teeth at the laid back style of this man who merely shrugged "Your loss, and here are the others now" he said as Team TRAK entered the cafe.
"Down to business I assume?" Alahambra said
"Correct, here are the reports for father," Cyclonis handed him some folders which the man hid in his jacket. "And lady Cyclonis a letter from your father arrived." Alahambra said as he handed the leader of the TRAK a letter which she read said letter
"Vat now?" Rip asked Cyclonis
"The hardest part we wait…"
"But we need to -" Summer started but was cut off
"You do your duties Rose and besides you are training Ruby with her eyes correct?" a nod was given "Good as you can see we will begin after Cinder tries to bug the CCT, if we move now they will caught wind of this and alter their plans, play ignorant for a while, let them think that we are not suspecting them."
"Fine" Summer said "And the maidens?" she whispered
"Zey are fine" Rip answered instead I believe ze opposition hasn't notice yet zat we made ze switch"
"Yeah! You worry too much!" Aliasse said while Kallari stayed quiet
"I see, I think I need to unwind a bit right?"
"See that's what I told you chica" Alahambra stated
"I will meet with Ozpin later, you do your duties for now" with that the group left the cafe.

"Mom!" Ruby yelled to her mother when said woman arrived that night
"Ruby?"
"It's Blake! She ran away!" Ruby said
"What! Where did she go?" Summer said, an inkling feeling on where she did go
"We don't know she and Weiss were arguing and she then mention about a 'we' and then she ran"
"I see…" Summer looked out of the window "I'm sorry Ruby but its getting dark out, I don't think we could able to find her… we will in the morning, rest and tomorrow we will look for Blake okay?"
"Okay mom" Ruby said as she hugged her mother.

In another part in Beacon Cyclonis stood in front of Ozpin and Glynda,
"I have to ask you of this, do you have anything to do with the maidens?" Ozpin asked the girl as said girl made a faint smile, "yes, yes we do"
