Author's note: I finally had some inspiration, and then it went away after two sentences. Anyway, a review helps me with what direction to take a story and they're very much appreciated.


"Plans are done, sir," a man wearing a grimm mask reported to another man with bright orange hair.

"Thank you, friend, best news I've heard all week," he said, gleefully, taking another puff from his cigar.

"We're ahead of schedule, so what should we do now?"

"We do as every villain cliché do," he said sarcastically, "we'll take some time off, do some grocery shopping; maybe watch some pornos, until the time we planned it for."

"Really? Cause my daughter's birthday is coming up and-,"

"No, you simpleton, but tell your daughter happy birthday, no kid should go through a birthday without having their parents greet them. Other than that, we're not gonna wait for someone to go against us, there's a giant school full of freak kids down the fucking street that can take down an aircraft mid-air without even trying," he explained, "we're going ahead of schedule so we have the upper hand. Get it?"

"Oooh, got it, boss. I'll tell everyone else," the White Fang agent walked out of the room to report back to his fellow agents.

"My my, aren't we a little paranoid," a seductive voice came from the shadow of his office.

"Sweetheart, this plan of yours is crazy," he answered, shaking the ashes off the burning end of his cigar, "I'm a classy criminal, not a war starter! I'm doing this for the money, beyond this, it's your business, you got it?! You still owe me for that week I spent with Ironwood, that cell was just so fucking boring."

"Don't worry, your payment will arrive in due time," the hourglass figure, colored with a red dress, stepped out of the shadow. She walked with a sway over to him. Firmly massaging his shoulders, she spoke into his ear, "You just have to finish your part."


"All first year students please gather in your respective teams and meet in the auditorium," A voice spoke over the intercom.

As soon as all the students were accounted for, the headmaster took his place at the pulpit to deliver his announcement, "Good morning. As you know, all teams here at Beacon Academy are regularly sent out on missions accompanied by a professional huntsman or huntress. I have gathered you all here today to let you know that you are going on your first mission. As you exit, there are several mission boards available to only you lot at the moment; the missions will be a first come first serve basis, so choose your mission wisely. If your accompanying huntsman or huntress deems you or your team unworthy of completing the task, they have the right to send you back here to Beacon. That is all."

As the crowds dispersed to check the mission boards, teams JNPR and RWBY already had trouble deciding to choose theirs. "We could always sneak away and fight our way down to that area," Blake suggested.

"Yeah, but we'd probably get expelled the moment we get back to Beacon," Weiss countered.

"Maybe we could do this search and destroy in quadrant five, it's exactly where we're heading anyway," Ruby stated as she poked at the interacted display. The display showed an error, indicating the need of two teams.

"Maybe we can't do that one," Yang shrugged.

"Yes, we can. Wait here, I know who to ask," Ruby sped off and retrieved Jaune, who, for some much needed comic relief, was tucked under her arm with team JNPR in pursuit.

"Can I help you, Ruby?" Jaune asked, confused as to how a small girl could carry him in such a fashion.

"We needed help on this search and destroy mission and it's a two team mission and I was wondering if team JNPR could take this mission with us. We were gonna use this mission as an excuse to investigate the area for a secret White Fang base, please help us," Ruby blurted it out as fast as she could, right before the rest of team JNPR arrived to double over to catch their breath.

"You'd have to ask my team," he then turned to his teammates and asked them directly, "What do you say, guys? Do we want to take the mission to quadrant five with team RWBY?"

"It is closer to that village you and Ren wanted to stop by, Nora," Pyrrha said, taking Ruby's side.

"Hmmm, okay!" Nora quickly spoke for both her and her childhood friend.

"Then it's settled," Jaune entered his team code along with Ruby. "We're all going to be stuck together until we graduate, aren't we?" he asked both groups.

"You're stuck with all of us whether you want to or not," Yang affirmed his suspicions with a light punch to his arm.

"The mission prompt says we'll meet our chaperoning huntsman tomorrow morning at the landing pad, that should be more than enough time to get ready," Ruby announced to the teams before they all separated to prepare.

"Hey Weiss," Jaune said, pulling her to the side, "can I talk to you?"

"What do you want now?" the heiress demanded, "I have a lot of stuff to pack, you know."

"Yeah, I know, I do too, but," Jaune paused for a moment to recollect his nerves, "I was wondering, if you have time later, we could go out together for some coffee or some tea? No singing, no dancing, no stupid gimmick, just me."

"We're preparing to go on a mission, and all you can think about is a date?" the white-haired girl asked, angered by the question. "The answer is no, the answer is always going to be no. So please just stop asking and keep your feelings to yourself, and try to be a little more professional, you're a leader."

"Al-alright, I won't bother you anymore," the young leader walked away with his head hung in defeat, his broken heart about to jump out of his mouth.

Weiss turned to see the rest of her team and Pyrrha staring at her with disapproval, "What!?"

"Now that's just brutal, even for me and I'm the one usually breaking people," Yang started, "Pyrrha, wait!"

The Amazonian themed warrior angrily picked up the girl by her collar and lifted the young Schnee to her face, "I've gotten to know my leader pretty well these last few months, and if I were you, I would feel lucky to have him ask me out on a date instead of those jerks who want to date you for your money." The anger and emotion poured out from her mouth was displayed perfectly on her face as well, "He's too good for you, a stuck up princess who's too shallow to look past attractive physical features. I'm actually glad you turned him down, he doesn't deserve your constant bitching or the way you treat him." The taller redhead dropped the girl on her rear and walked away, deciding that it was the best course of action before her emotions got the better of her.

"Jeez, what is her problem?" Weiss got up and dusted herself off.

"You just don't get it do you?" Ruby answered her.

"Get what? What's so special about some nobody who got into Beacon just like the rest of us?" the heiress waved her hands in frustration, confused to why everyone cared so much.

"Just get ready, I expect you to be here early tomorrow morning," Ruby said coldly, "don't talk back to any orders from me, Jaune or our chaperone. Like you said, be a little more professional."
