Yang just arrived at Mistral when she saw a troop of guards walking down a street. She found it strange and went to see what was happening. She spotted Neo and another man attacking someone, and the girl didn't think twice before heading toward them to stop them.

She sped her motorcycle past the guards in the street without hitting them and headed toward the two individuals at the end of the street. The man who was attacking the other took Neo, as well as a few more things and jumped up a house, where they disappeared into the darkness.

Yang came close enough to see the injured person. It was Qrow.

"Uncle Qrow?!" She was horrified, the man was bruised and bloody. His right hand had been cut off and his clothes were torn with huge marks and cuts. For a moment Yang thought he was dead, but as she approached and checked the wrist of the man's remaining arm, she sighed in relief.

"What was going on here?" She asked the guards.

"I got a call saying there was a dead guard, a murderer, a suspect and a damaged shop, I think that was it... Then someone picked up the communicator and said there was another dead guard." One of the guards of the troop said approaching, then Yang noticed the pool of blood on the ground and the bodies of the two guards. She was petrified, never expecting to see such a gruesome sight.

"Why did they do that?!"

"There are two more bodies here!" Shouted another guard who stepped forward to search the dark end of the street.

As two other guards helped Qrow, Yang took courage and moved forward to see the two discovered bodies. She almost fell to her knees as she realized that they belonged to Nora and Ren.

"No... T-These two... No... It can't be! It's not possible! How did this happen?!" she cried incredulously.

And Ruby?! Where is she?!

Meanwhile, Neo was angry with Tyrian. He had said he would kill the opponent, but it took him too long to start doing something more painful.

The two moved to a roof of a larger, higher house where they would not be found.

"Don't keep glaring at me like that!" Tyrian said, "I'm still going to kill that man, but I can not leave my queen waiting! I've lost enough time here!" He sighed, dissatisfied with the current situation, "Do you have any idea what it's like to feel that the person you love most hates you?! It's what I've been feeling since I failed! If she didn't forgive me, I would have no reason to live anymore!" He said almost crying "I always did everything to please her, but I failed to capture that stupid girl!" the faunus sighed sadly. "I... I just want to see the smile of my goddess! Is there anything wrong with that?! Is it wrong to want to please those you love?!"

Neo hit Tyrian's head with her umbrella and signaled with her hand, asking for silence. The faunus was raising his voice as he spoke and it might catch the attention of some guard.

The girl took her scroll and began typing several things as the scorpion man sat as he could on the roof and analyzed the cut on his leg from the shard of glass that Qrow had stuck there. After a few minutes, Neo nudged Tyrian with her umbrella and handed the scroll to him.

Neo had written: "I understand how you feel. I know you love your queen and want to please her, but I'm sure she will prefer that you eliminate all the obstacles that come up than just taking the girl to her. Because it would be a more complete job, plus we may have issues with individuals we leave alive, which would lead to an even worse delay for you. By the way, we should follow the girl on the motorcycle, she's a friend of Ruby's. And... Tell me, why are you still holding that man's hand? Are you going to use it for something?"

"Oh, you're pretty mean for someone who looks so docile..." the faunus laughed as Neo sighed impatiently at the man while she put her old partner's hat on her head. "I wanted his hand and his weapon like a trophy..." Tyrian said, wiggling Qrow's sliced hand like a toy, "But maybe I'll get rid of it if we take too long to find our dear little flower. Oh... I can't wait to take the girl to my goddess! I will be forgiven!"

Neo sighed a little sadly watching the scorpion man. She'd never thought she would end up in such a situation, partnering with a faunus obsessed with someone he considered a goddess, a queen. The two had similar goals, but would it really be worth doing what they were doing?

If Tyrian were Roman or at least acted like him...

Qrow was taken to a hospital, Yang accompanying him. She still couldn't accept that Nora and Ren were dead. Even if they were not her best friends, they were colleagues she cared for. Their bodies were removed from the street by guards to a more appropriate location.

"As soon as he wakes up, we'll have to question him. We don't know what happened there and we need information," a guard spoke to the girl as soon as Qrow was taken by the nurses to be attended to. "We set up a vigilante team to look for the attackers through the city streets. You helped a lot by describing the girl's appearance, but as for the man we are still not sure and it will be difficult to conduct searches in the middle of the night. But please, as soon as this man wakes up let us know."

"Yes sir, don't worry!" Yang said and looked at her uncle on a stretcher being examined by a doctor and a nurse.

Yang was anxious, she needed to know where Ruby was. If her uncle had been attacked and the other two were really dead, it could only mean that her sister was in danger as well. As soon as the doctor and the nurse left the room, she went to Qrow and tried to wake him up.

"Qrow... Qrow, please wake up... Qrow, I need to know where Ruby is!"

The man opened his eyes slowly, looking a bit confused "Wh-What happened? Where am I? Y-Yang...?!"

"Yes, it's me! How are you? What happened to you?"

"My body hurts a lot..." he said with some difficulty and then his eyes widened, "Yang! You... You need to go to Ruby!'' Qrow tried to get up from the bed, but the pain in his body was too much. "They...They will catch her! You have to go after her!"

"Who are they? What do they want? Why did they attack you?!" Yang asked frightened.

"We don't have time for explanations!" He said urgently and painfully at the same time. "Go after her! She's in a four-story inn..." Qrow explained more or less how she could find the property "And be careful! Make sure no one is following you!"

As soon as she heard what Qrow had to say, Yang warned the guard that the man had woken up. She left the hospital, got on her motorcycle, and went out into the streets looking for the place her uncle described.

As it was still dark, it would be difficult to find a specific building in the midst of so many in the city, but she needed to find it as quickly as possible. Her sister was in danger.

Not too close and not far away, Weiss drew closer and closer to Mistral.
