Chapter 2: A New Enemy

Team RWBY stepped out of Makarov's office with Makarov leading them. Makarov jumped on top on the bar counter, clearing his throat. "Alright everyone, listen up!" Makarov shouted, getting everyone's attention. "Today, we've got four new members joining our guild!" The guild members looked at the four girls besides Makarov and the eyes of most of the male members turned into hearts. Team RWBY starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with the male members staring at them.

"Um…hi…" Ruby said nervously. "I'm Ruby. And this is Weiss, Blake, and Yang."

"Now let's celebrate the newest additions to our guild!" Makarov shouted. The entire guild roared in excitement as the celebration has begun. Everyone was singing, drinking, eating, and dancing like there's no tomorrow.

Outside the guild hall, a figure stood in the shadows watching as the four huntresses are being welcomed into the guild. A wicked smirk appeared as he walked away. Imprinted on the left side of his neck was a circle with two bat wings going through it.

In an Inn close to the Fairy Tail guild hall, Ruby and her team were sleeping in their room after partying with the guild. Well, Weiss and Blake are sleeping. Yang was unconscious due to her drinking too much booze during the party. Ruby was still awake, looking at the Fairy Tail insignia imprinted on her hand with a smile on her face.

The next day, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake arrived at the guild hall to see some of the guild members are still cleaning up the mess from the party the day before. Ruby spotted Natsu and Lucy standing in front of what looks like a bulletin board, looking at the posters on it.

"Hey Natsu, Lucy!" Ruby shouted, running towards the two wizards. Weiss followed her partner as Blake walked towards Levy and her group.

Lucy looked behind her shoulder and saw the red hooded girl coming towards her with Weiss not too far behind. "Oh hey Ruby!" she said. "Hey Weiss!"

Natsu looked behind him and saw the two girls. "Hey guys, where's Yang?" he asked.

"Yang is resting at the inn, right now." Weiss said. "She's got a hangover from the party yesterday." She sighed, remembering her and Blake warning Yang not to drink too much.

"So what are you guys doing?" Ruby asked looking at the poster filled board.

"We're just looking for a job request so I could pay my rent for this month." Lucy said as she tries to pick a job out of the bulletin board.

"A job request?" Ruby questioned.

"That's right." Mira said, walking towards Ruby. "Guilds like us receive different types of jobs for the members to do. These jobs range from finding someone's lost items to fighting fierce monsters, depending on the job's difficulty. When the job is successfully completed, we get paid the amount of the reward."

"Really?" Ruby asked and Mira nodded. "In that case, come on Weiss! Let's go find us a job too!"

"You just want an excuse to fight monsters, do you?" Weiss said.

"Hey lighten up Weiss." Natsu said to the heiress. "It's beats sitting here all day doing nothing."

"Yeah Weiss, let's try it!" Ruby said. "Who knows, it could be fun."

Weiss signed in defeat as Ruby continued to look through the request board for a job that the both of them can do. "What about this one?" Ruby asked, pulling one of the posters off the board and showing it to Weiss.

Weiss grabbed the poster and read what the job is asking for of them. "Ok, we can do this one." She said.

"Alright!" Ruby cheered as she snatched the poster out of Weiss's hand and ran towards the entrance. She stopped and looked over towards Blake. "Hey Blake, don't you want to come with us? Come on, it'll be fun."

Blake looked at Ruby and said, "Alright, I'll join you."

"Yes!" Ruby shouted in joy as she ran to the outside of the guild hall. "Come on, let's go!"

"Ruby, wait…" Weiss shouted, trying to get her partner to stop. "That dunce, why doesn't she listen?"

Blake smiled and said, "Come on, we might still catch up with her." Weiss nodded and the two started to run after the red hooded girl.

As they caught up to Ruby, two figures stepped out of an alleyway and watch them leave. One of the figures was a man with blonde hair, wearing a red shirt, black jacket and black pants. The other figure was a woman with brown shoulder-length hair, wearing black sleeveless shirt and a black long dress. Imprinted on their bodies was a circle with two bat wings going through it.

"There they go." The man said. "It looks like they fell for our little trap. Should we go after them now?"

"Not yet, let them go on their little quest." The woman said. "Besides, we already have someone waiting for them."

"Damn it, Kotori!" The man cursed angrily. "Just what the hell are we waiting are anyway?! It's starting to be a real pain in the butt!"

Kotori laughed at her partner and said, "That's your problem, Kono. You don't have much patience. Something like that could kill a man like you. Don't worry, we'll face them soon enough. Besides, this means our little test with the anima was a success. It's a shame that we have to get rid of our test subjects."

"But that also means that Master Ito has a way into Remnant."

"That's right." Kotori said with a smirk on her face. "We get to burn that blasted academy to the ground." Kotori looked back at the three huntresses. "By the way, I only saw three of them walk by. Where's the forth?"

"She must be falling behind." Kono said. "I already send someone to deal with her. Right now, let's hope that Emi can get the job done and eliminate those three."

Back at the guild hall, Yang walked inside and looked around for her sister and teammates. But they were nowhere to be found. "Oh hey Yang!" A voce shouted, getting the brawler's attention. Yang looked at the direction of the voice and saw Lucy and Natsu walking towards her. "How are you feeling?"

"I still got a little bit of a headache but its passing." Yang answered. "I probably shouldn't have drank much booze yesterday."

"What are you talking about?" Natsu said. "You were awesome!"

"Yeah, I didn't think anybody could match with a Cana in a drinking contest." Happy added.

"Uh…thanks guys…" Yang said with a sweat drop before changing the subject. "Anyways, have you guys seen my sister and the rest of my team?"

"Yeah, they just left on a job request a few minutes ago." Lucy said. "In fact, we were about to leave on one ourselves. You're welcome to join us if you want."

"No thanks, I'll try to catch up with them. Hopefully, they didn't go too far." Yang started to run out of the guild hall. "I'll see you guys later." Unknown to the blonde haired brawler, two figures stood a top of a building that she ran past, watching her every move.

"Are you getting the information you need?" One of the figures asked. It was a tall man with black hair, dark blue, and a two piece white suit with white pants and black tie. His name was Cima.

"I am as far her outward appearance goes." The other figure said. It was a woman with long black hair, wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a black short skirt and black boots. Her name was Suzuki. On her shoulder was a circle with two bat wings going through it. "But as for her fighting style, I won't know that unless I fight her myself."

"Fine then, I'll return to headquarters." Cima said, walking away. "As for the girl, eliminate her."

"Understood." Suzuki nodded as Cima disappeared. Suzuki looked back down at Yang as she ran through the streets, looking for her friends.

Elsewhere in Magnolia, Ruby, Blake, and Weiss were walking through the town, discussing the details on their job request. Blake looked behind her as if she heard something running behind her.

"Blake, what's wrong?" Ruby asked.

'I must have imagined it.' Blake thought before back towards her teammates. "It's nothing." As the huntresses continued to walk through Magnolia, a figure was seen in the shadows with murderous intent in her eyes and an evil smirk on her face.
