...Chapter 8...

[Police station - holding area]

Sun Wukong and Neptune Vasilas have been thrown into a holding cell. After the two got arrested while team RWBY got a karma Houdini.

:Neptune: Unbelievable! We tagged along with Weiss and the guys but we are the only ones paying for it! :Sun: Look dude I'm sorry for getting you involved but what do you want me to do about it! :Neptune: All because You wanted to get some trim! :Sun: WHAT!? :Neptune: You heard me you were trying to get laid and I went along with it because I've always got to look out for you Bro! Look where being YOUR "bro" got me! :Sun: OH FUCK YOU! I NEVER TOLD YOU TO COME ALONG WITH ME! YOU'RE THE BLACKEST KETTLE EVER DUDE; YOU HIT ON GODDAME WEISS SCHNEE AS MUCH AS I'VE HIT ON BLAKE! I admit joining them in that whole mess was a HUGE mistake; I'll own up to that! but don't you dare say this is all MY fault!

The lights go off and the emergency lights come on in there place. The police get into a defensive position all over the building. If a officer didn't have a shotgun he/she had an assault rifle. Some of the police in Vail are certified huntsman and huntresses in there own right. The wall behind Sun and Neptune's cell gets smashed open from the outside.

:Sun: What is this a sudden renovation!? :Neptune: Sure ... lets go with that!

White Fang goons come though the rubble in formation. Seven lined up in single file lines to the left and right. Out of the smoke a shapely female figure struts out with her hips swaying side to side! She is a snake Faunus with black scales black lips and long black hair in a hime cut. She wears a custom White Fang mask that resembles the one in the "Phantom of the Opera". Instead of the traditional uniform of her compatriots. She sports a little silk black dress with a large cleavage window. Her yellow eye gives the room a quick scan before pulling a gun out of the holster strapped to her plump thigh. Sun and Neptune get into combat stances but when she fires she hits the guard behind them. The poor bastard didn't even get to sound the alarm.

:Woman: [sweet, sultry voice] Brother Wukong I presume? :Neptune: Brother? :Sun: How do you know my name lady?! :Woman: No need to be rude dearest brother. After all we came all this way to save you. [caresses Sun's face] You are one of us now after all and we look after our own. :Sun: You're ice cold lady! :Woman: Cold-blooded my little spy. [Sun looks shocked] oh yes I know of your original intent in going to that recruitment drive. You are ether a brave soul or an absolute fool to spy on the White Fang Mr. Wukong. :Sun: It's a little bit of both! :Woman: aw yes but you're a brave fool with potential.

The Serpentine woman grabs Sun by the jaw as she forces him into a deep open mouth kiss. Her long black forked tongue coils around his. Her eyes glow as Sun struggles to break free from her vice-like grip. Neptune is too scared to save his frend; paralyzed with fear and confusion. Sun's skin gets paler as he stops struggling and his eyes become dull and lifeless. She lets go of him and he falls to his knees with tears falling down his left eye.

:Neptune: S...Su... Sun? :Woman: I hope you like your welcoming present. How do you like it? :Sun: [monotone] My insides feel like they are melting. :Woman: You wish to make it stop? [Sun coughs up some blood] :Sun: Please make it stop I'm in unspeakable pain. :Woman: As long as you do as I say you will not die. Yet if you defy me it will be agonizing. So come along now we got to fit you for a new uniform. Oh and Neptune be a dear and give Blake a massage. "Eve Basilisk says hello"!

She blows the blue haired teenager a kiss before picking Sun up walks out of the hole. For a brief second a barcode tattoo with an X shaped scar on the back of her neck. Neptune picks up a broken cell bar after working up the nerve to attack. He swings the bar at the back of her head but she effortlessly dodges. A hidden blade comes out one of her heels and into his gut.

:Eve: Not the wisest thing you could have done. :Neptune: Give him back! Give me back my best friend! :Eve: Nighty night.

Eve Basilisk knocks him out with a punch to the face hard enough to brake his nose and then leaves.

[Goodwitch house - The next day]

After the fight with Glatteis; Snowbird is actually content with the defeat. Now that she actually has the closure she needed for years. She feels like weight has been lifted off her shoulders. But now she has no idea what she should do so takes a dip in the hot tube. Glynda and Jason just stepped in the front door with Troya passing by them. The fox Faunus is holding grimm studies textbooks but she is in pristine condition. Her normally messy orange-red hair cleaned up with no a single hair out of place. Troya is normally the kind of girl who wears her cloths tell they fall apart; but she is in an all new beacon uniform. She is also dolled up with make up which is a little out of character for her.

:Snowbird: Where you going Troya? [Troya spaces out] :Jason: Have a nice view from space Troya? :Troya: [nervous laughter] oh right sorry babe a bet lost in a daydream. It's that time of the week Jaune's tutoring session. :Jason: I love the eye candy but why are you look like all cleaned up? You don't do clean. :Troya: [Can't even makes eye contact] I thought I would feel better to at least try to clean myself up. :Jason: Not a bad look foxy. :Glynda: You clean up nicely but listen Miss Starling can we talk before you go? :Troya: yeah sure Professor Goodwitch!

Glynda takes Troya into her own privet study. Just like Glynda Goodwitch herself the large room is neat and tidy. Shelves full of books alphabetized. The walls covered in framed photos and certificates.

:Troya: How come you got me in here? :Glynda: I'm worried about you Troya; can you please take a seat? After the accident you've been ... well lets say "Volatile". :Troya: [Eyes turn black with yellow iris] Something you trying to say Goodwitch!? :Glynda: Only that you can talk to someone! I know a Grief counselor that can help you three. :Troya: You want me to see a shrink!? :Glynda: Only because I care about you and I'm not going to force you. I want you to give it some consideration. I had gone through this kind of lose myself.

Glynda walks over to the book shelf to pull out a photo album. She opens to a page with a old photo with a family of four in front of a small farm house. The family consist of a man, a woman and a young blonde girl with green eyes. She's no older then 10 and an infant baby in the arms of the grown woman.

:Glynda: This was my family! My mother, father, me and my little brother lived on a farm outside Mistral. One day a large pack of beowolves over ran our home. I had to watch as my mother and father get torn apart as I ran away with my baby brother in my arms. :Troya: What about your brother? :Glynda: We got separated by child services and I never saw him again. I was alone orphaned and the only family I had left taken from me. I know how painful it is to lose someone you love and I'm begging you to please get help! :Troya: I need time to think it over. :Glynda: I'll always be hear for you dear and I mean all you! :Troya: Thank you Professor but I actually have a study session to get to. :Glynda: Best of luck that boy is a challenge to teach. :Troya: Girl you don't have to tell me twice! But I like the kid, Nice guys like him are a rarity.

[Beacon Academy - Cinder's dorm]

Emerald Sustrai shows her cohorts the footage she recorded from the fight yesterday. Cinder Fall true to form looks more amused. More smug then intimidated by the presents of "The Atlesian Dragon". Mercury Black however is having a mild fanboy moment. His father told him stories about her when he was little.

:Cinder: So it seems the headmaster now has a pet dragon. :Emerald: What do you plan to about her? :Cinder: Nothing for now but you two better try to avoid her as best you can. Emerald do you have anything to else report? :Emerald: Two of Watts's old lad rats are in the school as students. :Cinder: No doubt the headmaster knows as well and has been keeping watch over them. :Emerald: They both seem to have some hostility with team RWBY. The one with the fox tail even tried to kill them once already! Something about her is familiar like she reminds me of somebody! :Mercury: You're being paranoid. :Emerald: Am I?

She loads up more footage of Troya's curb-stomp of team RWBY back in the hospital. The thief pauses and zooms in on her eyes. :Cinder: Interesting [smig grin and eyes glow]

[Beacon Academy - Team JNPR dorm]

Jaune Arc is studying for an upcoming exam when a knock on the door makes him get up. After he opens the door Troya is there with books in hand. :Jaune: Troya? What are you doing here? :Troya: What? I come over every week; I am your tutor after all. :Jaune: I'm not an idiot But shouldn't you be taking it easy? :Troya: I've never taken it easy before in my life. Now come on you got an exam that needs acing [Smile]. :Jaune: My don't you come on in. :Troya: That was the idea little buddy.

After Troya comes into the dorm the two quickly get to work and are done after three hours.

:Jaune: Man I hope Port shows mercy on us first years! :Troya: Should have seen him 2 years ago. So do you wanna do something I got time before I have to go to Jason's place. :Jaune: Remember when I tried asking you out? :Troya: [laughing] I'm still flattered and still not interested little buddy. :Jaune: [red in the face] No and thank you for making this awkward! I want your advise on how to ask out this girl I like! :Troya: You sly dog who's the lucky lady!? Pyrrha? That bunny girl? Or even Nora? If it is Nora I recommend a huge stack of pancakes and a sloth costume. :Jaune: and violate the "Bro-code" with Ren no thank you! Actually I'll ask someone else. :Troya: Come on dude who better then The Queen Bitch herself! :Jaune: No I just remember... :Troya: Dude don't leave me hanging now. :Jaune: [Panicking & making something up] Pyrrha! :Troya: [Mischievous grin] Who? I can't hear you man speak up. :Jaune: Pyrrha?

She gently places a hand on her shoulder and gives him a smile.

:Troya: [Jumps up triumphantly] Jason owes me money Ha ha! :Jaune: I'm such an idiot! :Troya: What are you talking about dude? She's a redheaded sweetheart with a great body you got great taste! I remember when Juile told me she loved me! [she takes out a photo of her with Juile in her arms] Nobody ever said they loved me before so I was stunned to say the least. She asked me out to our dance first year ... oh shit sorry dude I made it about myself! :Jaune: I miss her to [hand on her shoulder] and I was worried about you guys! How have you been holding up? :Troya: [she starts crying] Did you know Juile and I were engaged before she died? :Jaune: oh my gosh! :Troya: I was going to spend the rest of my life with her! And Team RWBY killed her! How are they not in jail! :Jaune: They didn't intentionally do anything wrong. :Troya: Your actually defending them!? Do you have any idea how many people they killed with that stunt and not just Juile! Don't get me wrong I probably would have been friends with them if things been. Unfortunately the cold reality is I can't forgive them! [Eyes change and black aura] and if they do anything else that stupid again I'll put! Them! Down! I know they are your friends if it does come to that don't be there! Do you hear something?

[Team RWBY's dorm]

Ruby Rose and her team comeback from there classes when Weiss somehow gets a text from Neptune. "White Fang got Sun and I'm in the hospital! :("

:Weiss: Blake you should see this! [Blake reads the text] :Blake: On no! :Yang: Murphy you and your law are getting me mad! :Ruby: Do you think the police will let us see him? :Weiss: Maybe not but I know who can get us in. :Troya:OH FUCK NO YOU DON'T!

Black tendrils come out from the bottom of the door wrapping Team RWBY up and slammed against the wall. In the darkness a skeletal hand forms on the wall next to the door to open it. Troya steps in but with the black aura around her; the only part of her face that is visable is her glowing yellow eyes. A hack saw like blade forms around her hand.

:Troya: [In demonic voice] YOU WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH RUINING MY LIFE! :Ruby: Y... you ... You don't understand our fri... [Troya punches her in the face] :Troya: I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR LIES! I HEARD YOU PLOTTING MORE OF YOUR "HEROICS" AND IF YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU KILL ANYONE ELSE THINK AGI... :Jaune: TROYA!

Jaune Arc is standing behind her with a shocked and fearfull look on his face. To him Troya is not acting like herself and the defenseless Team RWBY whom terrified to the point of tears.

:Ruby: JAUNE RUN SAVE YOURSELF! :Troya: I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS! :Jaune: You don't need to do this Troya! I know you; You're better then this!

[Goodwitch house]

Jason still hurt from the accident decided to use the hot tube with Snowbird. The sharp pain in his back makes it hard to stand up for vary long. His has trouble walking without a limp. In all honesty he's glad he is not in a wheelchair. Snowbird passes him a soda out of the cooler. The seven foot tall amazon catches his eye in a black two piece. Particularly the the G-cups floating in the water!

:Jason: I see you brought some "flotation devices" Frosty [Playful smirk]! Worried I'll drown? :Snowbird: [bashful and crossing her arms] Christ dude, I know there huge enough to float! :Jason: Only tring to flirt with you beautiful. [Snowbird kisses him] :Snowbird: [chuckle] You're terrible at it babe! :Jason: Oh I don't know I did somehow talk you into going out with me afterall. :Snowbird: True that and you're not that bad on the eyes! [both laugh]

Snowbird puts her arm over his shoulder causing slight pain.

:Snowbird: oh shit sorry! :Jason: It's my injuries not you, don't worry Frosty. :Snowbird: How bad is it? :Jason: The pain meds REALLY help but having you pressed against me I like WAY more. :Snowbird: Much better!

Jason and Snowbird lock lips again but they hear a knock on the door. Glatteis stands outside the house alongside Winter.

:Winter: Why don't you go inside? :Glatteis: Not making a grandiose entrence is still vary new to me. :Winter: It's not at all hard mother, knock on the door. [the front door opens] :Snowbird: Are you two coming in or not?

Snowbird is standing there in a black bikini and a towel wraped around her waist.

:Glatteis: Hello again dear! I tried calling first but I forgot to get your scroll number. You remember your older sister Winter? :Winter: I believe you told me to "go suck a dick" yesterday. :Snowbird: Yeah sorry about that. [shacks Winter's hand] So what do you two want? :Glatteis: I'm dropping by with a gift for you. Catch!

Glatteis throws a set of keys to the high end sports car. It's black with white raceing strips and chrome trim.

:Snowbird: That's a fucking Schnee Motors Beowolf 500! :Glatteis: All yours honey! The deluxe package complete with wireless bluetooth and Mods of my own design! :Snowbird: Fucking A! :Glatteis: WAY better then a Pony! [Jason steps into doorway in swim trunks] :Jason: Frosty can you call Foxy, she's not picking up for me and I'm worried! Oh hay Mrs. Schnee! :Glatteis: Jason you're looking much better! What's this about your friend? :Jason: Troya isn't picking up and I'm starting to get concerned! Troya has been alternating between depression and white-hot homicidal rage! In her state she could hurt herself or someone else! :Winter: Do you know where she is? :Snowbird: She's at the ... Beacon dorms ... We need to go like yesterday! :Glynda: What's going on out here? :Jason: Troya ... dorm ... RWBY! :Glatteis: IF SHE LAYS ONE FINGER ON WEISS'S BEAUTIFUL HEAD I'LL TURN HER INTO A HUMANOID PINCUSHION! [Opens portal glyph] :Jason: Take us with you! We can reason with her! :Snowbird: Please Glatteis! :Glatteis: Hop in but if she hurts my little girl so help me god I'll kill her! :Jason: Lets hope it doesn't come to that!

[Team RWBY's dorm]

Jaune Arc stands between a bound Team RWBY and an almost demonic Troya Starling with an stern look on his face.

:Jaune: Troya please you don't really want to do this do you?! :Troya: [Demonic voice] OF COURSE I DON'T WANT THIS!

Her face becomes visible again and it's shown she has been crying black tears this whole time. Her black and glowing yellow eyes scream regret.

:Troya: [normal voice] I just don't see other way to stop [points to Team RWBY behind him] THEM from hurting anyone else! :Jaune: Would Julie approve of you doing this! :Troya: No, bless her heart she would forgive them! She always was a better person then me!

Troya's dark aura vanishes as she collapses onto the ground. Her skin is paper white with some black blood coughing up. Glatteis's glyph shows up right after with her, Snowbird, and Jason. Glynda and Winter jump out with them.

:Jason: Oh my god! :Jaune: Troya is fine, she just passed out. :Snowbird: Holy crap Jaune did YOU KO her?! :Jaune: No I tried reasoning with her and she fell over. :Yang: Is she going to be alright? :Snowbird: Yeah she needs to rest. I guess it's our turn to apologize to you guys! :Weiss: No need this was our fault after all ... Sister. :Glatteis: WEISS! [Glatteis ursa hugs Weiss] She didn't hurt you sweety?! :Weiss: We're fine mother. :Glatteis: I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you Snowflake! :Winter: [looks down at Troya] I'm placing her under arrest! :Weiss: We're not pressing charges Winter! :Yang: We did cause this after all. :Winter: Not a good Idea she will pull a stunt like this again! :Ruby: But this is OUR fault! :Snowbird: Nobody is doing anything to her! :Jason: You want her you're going to have to go through us first!

[Vail Morgue]

Emerald and Mercury work off a list of bodies tell they find Julie Vino. After pulling out her body Emerald notices an uncanny resemblance to Cinder. Only with darker skin and Crimson hair. They even have the same body type.

:Emerald: I know I don't have vary high standards but this is just wrong! :Mercury: Oh come on it's not even the worse thing we did today. [Looks at Julie's body] Looks like a pallet swap in a video game doesn't it? :Emerald: Lets just do what we came here for and go! This place is creeping me out!
