Chapter 4. Let's do it.


Onyx gets on his motorcycle.

"Wait here, I'll see where we can start looking for Night." Onyx orders.

"Night?" Ruby asks.

"You can drop the act, I know you were listening in." Onyx says.

Onyx drives off.

The team goes inside the garage and opens a door to another room. Inside the room is a bed, couch, desk, bookcase with three books, and another chess. Ruby and Yang sit on the bed the rest sit on the couch. Weiss coughs.

"How can you stand being here, it's so dusty?" Weiss asks as she fans the dust away.

"Stop moving, your only making it worse." Yang complains.

"It's as if no ones been here in years." Ruby says after she sneezes.

"I think we should go outside." Weiss says

"Or clean the place." Ruby suggests.

"Why should we do that?" Weiss asks.

"We don't know how long Onyx will be gone, it could be hours." Ruby states.

Team RWBY starts to clean up the place.


Onyx stops his motorcycle in front of a Junior's club. He walks towards the door. Onyx sits at the counter next to a girl wearing a black hoodie, with the hood up, black pants with gloves and boots. Onyx passes the girl fifty lien cards.

"What do have for me?" Onyx asks.

"Your target hasn't been seen in ten years." The girl says.

"That's hardly news." Onyx comments.

"The person he was last seen with was spotted in Vale two days ago." The girl states.

"Where?" Onyx asks.

"That'll cost you extra." The girl says.

Onyx passes her fifty more lien cards.

"This address. He been seen there multiple times this week." The girl says as she passes Onyx a paper with an address printed on it.

"Thank you for you help." Onyx says.

"If you're willing to spend one hundred lien on an address, your target must be important." The girl says.

Onyx walks outside to see three random thugs by his motorcycle.

"Step away from my property." Onyx orders.

"Oh look, it's a tough guy we got here." One of the thugs say.

"Let's teach him lesson." Another one says.

"I don't know, that's military grade armor." The third thug says.

"That'll sell for a lot of lien." The first thug says.

Onyx cracks his knuckles and knocks each one out with one punch. He ges one his motorcycle and drives back to his warehouse.


Onyx opens the garage door and drives his motorcycle inside. He gets off and looks around. The warehouse is almost completely spotless. Onyx walks into the other room where the girls were sleeping due to exhaustion. He kicks Weiss' feet.

"Wake up your friends." Onyx orders when Weiss opens her eyes.

"Ow." Weiss says sarcastically.

Weiss wakes up Blake and Yang. Yang wakes up Ruby before she gets out the bed.

"I have a lead." Onyx says.

"What is it?" Ruby asks.

"You don't need to know. What you need to do is grab your weapons and get set!" Onyx says.

"Hey! If you want our help, you better start treating us with respect." Weiss states.

"Weiss, stop it" Ruby says.

"Why do you defend him? All he's done is disrespect us." Weiss reponds.

"Fine. The last person Night was ever seen with, Davy Jet, was last seen two days ago." Onyx explains.

The group leaves the warehouse and start walking towards Davy's last known location.


Midway through the trip the group is walking through a long alley. Ruby walks up next to Onyx.

"Who is Davy?" Ruby asks.

"All you need to know is he's our key to finding Night." Onyx says.

"Onyx!" Weiss yells.

Onyx turns towards Weiss. She's walking with a furrowed brow and arms crossed. Onyx faces forward.

"He was Team NWOR's informant. Back when we did missions, we'd always do the ones that were stealth based, required getting intel, or both. When we needed an outside source we called Davy, he has connections all over Vale. Night has been using my ability to create portals to the Shadow Zone to travel unnoticed for the past ten years." Onyx explains.

"You knew who opened that portal. Why did you lie?" Ruby asks.

"I had full intentions to handle this matter alone, until I realized Night was the strongest member of my team. He personally trained me in all forms of combat I know. We also follow a similar moral code and one of it's rules is to never stop improving." Onyx says.

Onyx stops and puts his arm in front of Ruby to stop her. The rest stop seconds after.

"What's wrong?" Yang asks.

"We're being followed." Onyx states, "Let me handle this."

He walks forward.

"We didn't come here for trouble, just passing through." Onyx says.

Ten people wearing black jump suits with black biker helmets, with a mirrored visor, walk out from buildings, windows, and dumpsters. Each one armed with a pipe.

"Well, you passed into our turf." One said.

His jumpsuit had a red shoulder pauldron to indicate that he was the leader.

"And we don't tolerate trespassing." The leader says.

The surrounded group draws their weapons. Onyx converts his into a baton. He holds it so it goes against the back of his arm.

Onyx dashed towards the leader. He knees the leader in the stomach and shatters his visor with the baton. Another guy tries to hit Onyx in the back of the head with a pipe. Onyx grabs it, yanks it out the thugs hand and hits him across the head with it knocking the thug into a pole. He turns towards Team RWBY who are finishing the other thugs. They holster their weapons and continue to Davy's last known location.


The building is a three story warehouse.

"Pair off into teams of two and search the building, one per floor. I'll take the third." Onyx says.

Onyx opens a portal to the Shadow Zone and the group enters. He jumps onto a window sill and begins climbing up to a window on the third floor. Onyx sticks his blade under the window and pries it open. Inside was lots of crates. Onyx walks up to a crate as looks at the writing on it; Dust. Onyx walks into the next room where on a chair a man, with short grey hair and wearing one of the black jump suits with a grey shoulder pauldron, is sleeping. Onyx exits the Shadow Zone and slaps the man awake.

"Davy." Onyx says.

"What is it?" Davy says before opening his eyes.

Davy sees Onyx and pushes the chair back causing it to fall. Davy tries to run away but Onyx is faster. He catches up to Davy and presses him against a wall.

"Who are you?" Davy asks.

Onyx's helmet retracts into the rest of the armor.

"No, it's not possible. I watch you die." Davy states.

"You watched me die? When this is over, I'll watch you did." Onyx responds.

Onyx throws Davy to the floor into the Shadow Zone. Onyx enters and sticks his blade into Davy's arm.

"Your going to tell me everything I want to know about Night." Onyx states.


That escalated quickly. And it's only going to get worse.
