I don't own RWBY or Star Wars

United Remnant Government Embassy Coruscant

"What the hell is wrong with you Raven," yelled Qrow as he stared at the body of the Sith agent they had captured. The woman's body was bruised and bloody from the beating it had received.

"It's not my fault that she wasn't strong enough to last through my interrogation," Raven replied coldly.

"Interrogation, Raven you beat her to death," cried Summer, a look of horror on her face.

Raven flinched at the look on Summer's face. She wouldn't deny that the look the silver eyed girl was giving her hurt. Taiyang stepped into her field of vision and glared at her, causing the dark woman to look away from her husband.

"Raven, I don't know what's gotten into you, but something is wrong. You wouldn't normally go this far," Tai said sternly.

"Look, I admit that I went too far in the interrogation, but we have more pressing business at hand," Raven snapped.

"Which got a lot more difficult since you decided to kill our only led. How are we supposed to go to the Jedi without a living Sith as proof that their back," yelled Qrow.

The four Hunters paused as they thought about that for a few moments. They all knew that the Jedi would never believe them if they said the Sith were back without real proof. Raven looked away from the disapproving looks of her friends and family and started to run through the events that had happened in her head again. All that she could remember was this intense desire to hurt the woman they had captured. She had enjoyed the fear and pain that she had felt emanating from the captive as she beat her, until Raven felt the woman's life slip away. In her heart Raven knew what the real reason for her loss of control was, and so did Qrow. Her twin brother gave her a meaningful look as the group left the cell, and she nodded her head in agreement.

"Right, Summer go and contact the Jedi Council. Let's see if they will at least listen to us. Taiyang, I want you to get in contact with the fleet. I want to know what Jimmy is planning on doing once he gets here," Qrow ordered.

"Knowing James it will be a grand show of URSC military might," Taiyang snorted.

"Well it might be necessary this time," Summer sighed as the two of them left to carry out their assigned tasks. Once the other half of team QRTS disappeared around the corner Qrow turned to his sister. Raven looked down in shame as her twin stared at her with what could be called a mix of worry and disappointment.

"It was her again wasn't it," Qrow stated more than questioned.

"Yes, she was stronger this time and I couldn't control myself. This is bad Qrow; if she can manipulate me here then that means she is getting stronger," said Raven, unable to meet her brother's eyes.

"I'll tell Ozpin in my report, but until then I need to know if you'll be alright in the field. If you can't control yourself in combat you'll become a liability," he said.

"Don't worry Qrow. I can handle it for as long as I need to," Raven assured him.

"Good to hear; and Raven if you ever need to talk about it..."

"I know Qrow and thank you," she said with an appreciative smile.

"Right well...I need to go report to Ozpin before it gets anymore crazy around here," said Qrow. The smile faded from Ravens lips as her brother turned away from her. She was deeply troubled by what had happened and she knew that she had just made her brother's life a lot more complicated then what it needed to be. Why was she cursed with these damn eyes? Raven longed to be like her friends, but the legend of the people with red eyes prevented her from being like them. All that she could do was kill and cause fear, but Raven wanted to use those abilities to help people. Then she was struck by a bolt of inspiration. Raven reached out and grabbed Qrows' arm as an incredibly risky and all around stupid idea formed in her head.

"Wait, I have an idea," she said eagerly.


URSC Illustrious

James Ironwood went over the information on Salem again. The Queen of Grimm was an ancient entity that had been around as long as the people of Remnant could remember. She wanted to spread her 'children' not only across the entire galaxy, but the entire universe. No one could explain her hatred for humans or other species, though scientist speculated that it was merely instinct. James doubted that it was as simple as that, because from what he could pick up during his talks with Ozpin Salem seemed to have something out for the Beacon Headmaster. Ozpin had tried to brush it off as simple her seeing him as a major threat since he was the Headmaster of Beacon, and effectively the head of the Order of Hunters. Ironwood didn't by it for a moment, because from the limited information that he was able to collect it sounded more like the Queen of Grimm had some sort of fixation, bordering on obsession for the Headmaster.

Ozpin was older than he tended to let on, that much James knew for certain. The Headmaster had had grey hair when James was a boy, and now they were starting to look the same age. James had a rather disturbing thought in the back of his mind that was starting to make it's way to the front when his scroll buzzed. With that the thought vanished back into the recesses of his mind and James picked up his Scroll. He was only mildly surprised to see it was Taiyang calling him. With a push of the button Ironwood answered the incoming call.

"Ironwood here," he stated gruffly.

"Nice to hear from you to James," Taiyang chuckled.

"Tai, you have me hauling a fleet halfway across the galaxy to fix a mess you started," James snapped irritably.

"Hey they started it we just finished it. Why are you so moody, Glynda not giving you any," Taiyang teased.

"For your information Glynda is pregnant. As for why I am so moody, I don't like having to deal with other people's messes," James growled.

"Shit! Congratulations on the kid James, but I didn't call to chit chat," Taiyang said, giving James a brief smile at his friends happy news.

"Thank you, and I figured this wasn't a social call," James replied, calming down somewhat.

"Yeah, we might have a bit of a problem here on our end," Taiyang said soberly as he filled the general in on what had happened.

"SHE DID WHAT!"

"I know it's bad James, but there's no reason to shout," Taiyang said as he twisted a finger in his ear to stop the ringing.

"What the hell was she thinking? Damn it, I always knew that woman was trouble," James seethed.

"That woman happens to be my wife Ironwood," Taiyang growled dangerously.

"Look Taiyang, there's no sugar coating this. Raven is going to have to be arrested and brought to trial," James stated.

"WHAT! Raven is a Huntress you ju-"

"TAI LISTEN TO ME DAMN IT," James roared, causing Taiyang to shrink back from the monitor slightly in fear.

"Raven will be given the best defense lawyer that money can buy and she will have a fair trial. You have to understand that it has to be done, because we can't show favoritism. I won't lie, she might have to do some jail time for this, but it's better that then having to do something more drastic," James said in a calm voice. Taiyang was silent for several minutes as he contemplated what Ironwood said before he finally spoke.

"What do you plan on doing once you arrive," he asked somberly.

"We need to make a show of strength, but we can't be overbearing otherwise we could end up starting a war. I will station my fleet around Coruscant's moon rather than in orbit around the planet. Then I will deploy a fresh company of marines and a new squad of ODST's to the embassy. That should be enough to detour any further attempts to attack the embassy. After that, I will arrive to personally meet with the Jedi Council to try and figure out this mess. While I am doing that Ambassador Longshanks will be evacuated to the hospital ship Hope. Meanwhile you and your team are to arrest Raven and bring her aboard the Illustrious. Hopefully we can put this mess behind us in a few weeks," James said.

"Alright, sounds like a plan. I'll let Qrow know what's up. See you soon Jimmy," Taiyang said before he hung up.

James let out a tired sigh as he massaged his temples when the call ended. Then he heard a giggle that sounded all to familiar to him. Ironwood glanced over and sough the tiny holo-projection of Neko on the right side of his table. The cat girl AI's tail was twitching with excitement as she covered her mouth with her hands in a futile attempt to stop her giggles.

"Jimmy?"

"I'll get you back for this Taiyang," groaned James.


Jedi Temple, Coruscant

The Jedi Council was in the middle of a meeting about the attack on the URG convoy when they received word of a message from the URG embassy. Many in the Council were not pleased when the image of Summer Rose appeared on the holo projector in the middle of the room. She gave them a brief awkward bow and focused her attention on Grand Master Yoda.

"Master Yoda I hope you forgive my intrusion, but I bring important news that you really need to hear," the young woman said eagerly.

"What news have you young one," asked Yoda.

"The Sith are back," she said without preamble.

"How do you know of the Sith? They have been extinct for a millennium," Ki Adi Mundi asked with suspicion.

"What you think we wouldn't do our homework when we found out about you guys? Where there is light there will always be darkness for one cannot exist without the other," Summer said with a knowing smile.

"And which are you and your Order Ms. Rose," asked Master Windu.

"Both of course," Summer said with no small amount of confusion in her voice.

"You must be one or the other," insisted Mundi sternly.

"What proof have you of the Sith's return," Yoda interjected, trying to get the conversation back on topic. Summer simple held up a lightsaber and activated it. The blade had a blood red glow that reflected from her eyes, giving her an eerie look.

"That proof enough," she asked as the deactivated the blade.

"Anyone could break into a Sith temple or even a museum and steal one of those," Mundi said dismissively.

"Where is the person who had this blade," asked Plo Koon.

"Dead."

"Died in the battle did they," asked Yoda.

"Err...no Raven kind of bet her to death," Summer said sheepishly.

"What," asked most of the Council.

"Well Raven was trying to get information out of her so-"

"You tortured her. Master Yoda, I believe we have wasted enough time with these 'Hunters'. They clearly have no control and are corrupted by the darkside," said Master Mundi.

"I agree with Master Mundi," stated Windu.

"Wait! You have to listen to-"

"Good by Ms. Rose," Master Windu said as he shut off the holo projector. Yoda kept silent as the Council started to debate on what they should do with the Hunters. For some reason the old Jedi Master felt that they should have listened to Summer Rose.


That's it for this one. Boy it's been a while since I've updated anything so I decided to work on this. I don't have any excuse as to why I haven't updated except writers block. Things are starting to come to a head, tune in next time to see what happens next. Until next time folks.
