Okay, here's chapter 4. This one will hopefully have more story-driving events than the last two chapters.
Savannah stood in front of a screen, a dark silhouette of a man on the other side.
"Why did you engage Team RWBY in combat, alone?" the man asked.
"I thought that I could get the Dust from them." Savannah said, "But I severely underestimated them."
"Yes, you did." the man said, "I want you to remain at the base until further notice. Is that understood?"
"But-" Savannah protested.
"Is that understood?" the man sternly asked.
Savannah sighed.
"Understood." Savannah replied.
"Good. We will speak again soon." the man said right before the screen shut down.
Back at Junior's bar, Amber had just witnessed the fusion of Melanie and Miltia.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Amber asked.
"We're Malachite, and we're so going to give you a bad time." the fusion known as 'Malachite' said.
" 'Malachite', seriously? That's just your shared last name." Amber asked.
Malachite just got angry and ran at Amber. She swung her claws, but Amber blocked them with her scythe. But Malachite went in with the heels while Amber was blocking the claws and knocked her off of her feet, allowing Malachite to hit Amber with the claws and make her slide across the dance floor.
"Lucky shot." Amber said right before transforming Ember Rose into its rifle form and shooting what looked like flares at Malachite.
Malachite jumped up and over the blasts, leaping at Amber. Amber changed Ember Rose back into a scythe and blocked the heels that were coming at her. Before Malachite could do anything, Amber swung the scythe around, sending her opponent flying at the wall. Malachite reacted to this and stabbed her claws into the wall, stopping herself from smashing into it.
"Yang, we have to lower their Aura so the fusion breaks." Ruby said.
"I know, but they are much better at fighting than the last time we battled." Yang replied.
"Speaking of which, watch out!" Ruby said.
Malachite ran at Amber, swinging her claws and her bladed high heels. Amber would used Ember Rose to block the attacks, but both of them seemed pretty well matched.
"This is getting nowhere." Amber said.
"You're right." Malachite said, "So just surrender already."
Amber decided to change things up. Amber waited until Malachite went for her next attack and then turned Ember Rose into a shotgun. Since Malachite didn't have any time to react, the shotgun blast sent her flying up to the DJ platform.
"Ha, you should really have put up more of a fight." Amber said, unaware that Junior was right behind her.
Junior swung his club and hit Amber, who skidded across the dance floor.
"Surprise." Junior said.
Amber got back up and saw Malachite run to Junior's side.
"I guess that we should start trying now." Amber said.
"Wait, what?" Junior asked.
Amber let out a cry of rage as her hair glowed brightly, her lavender iris turned red and flaming rose petals came from her. Amber rushed at the twosome in mass of fiery petals, returning to normal to swing Ember Rose in scythe form. The scythe's swing hit Junior and Malachite, the impact was so hard that not only did it send them flying, but it broke the fusion, causing Blake's and Weiss's Fusion Dust vials to fall to the ground. Amber picked up the vials and walked over to Junior.
"Do you want to kiss and make up?" Amber asked.
Junior just groaned as he fell unconscious. A bright light came from Amber, ending the fusion and leaving Ruby and Yang in her place.
"Well that was fun." Yang said.
"For you maybe, why did we go easy on them?" Ruby asked.
"The fight would have been over too quick, where's the fun in that?" Yang asked.
Ruby just shot over to help Weiss while Yang went to check on Blake.
"You alright?" Yang asked.
"Yeah...but I feel like I got hit by a rocket." Blake said.
"Actually, Weiss got hit by rockets, not you." Yang said.
Yang helped Blake up as Ruby and Weiss approached them.
"Here you guys go." Yang said, handing Blake and Weiss their Fusion Dust vials.
Blake and Weiss reclaimed their vials and put them away.
"Well, we got information." Ruby said, "We should head back to Beacon and start making a plan."
"Agreed, now we know where the White Fang is going to be." Weiss said.
"I'll be right with you guys in a second." Yang said, walking over to the bar and grabbing her Strawberry Sunrise, "See you later, Junior."
Team RWBY left the nightclub to head back to Beacon.
The next day, during lunch, Team RWBY was beginning to formulate their plans with JNPR, Sun and Neptune.
"So, we know that the White Fang is going to be at the docks." Ruby said, "But we need to figure out when."
"It will most likely be at night." Blake said, "They're most likely having another recruitment drive, they do need new members after the Grimm invasion."
"It really stinks that we can't just sneak in like we could the last time." Sun said, "They know our faces."
"You know, I think that the Fusion Dust could come in handy here." Ren said.
"What do you mean?" Sun asked.
"I mean, the Fusion Dust takes features from both people involved, what if you used it to make yourselves look like people that they've never seen before?" Ren asked.
"Wait, what?" Sun asked.
"He's saying that we could use the Fusion Dust as a way to disguise ourselves." Blake said.
"Hey, that could work." Sun said, "But who would we fuse with?"
"That's a good question." Ren said, "Maybe you and Neptune could be one Fusion while Blake and Yang are the other?"
"No, they've seen Bumbleby, she wouldn't work." Yang said.
"And Ruby wouldn't be a good candidate, considering that she's not the best at keeping quiet." Weiss said.
"Hey!" Ruby said.
"My point exactly." Weiss said.
"Then why doesn't Blake fuse with you?" Nora asked.
"What?!" Blake and Weiss asked in unison.
"Nora does have a point." Pyrrha said, "Weiss is pretty good at being quiet and staying focused."
"Uh...guys, don't I get a say in this?" Neptune asked.
"Don't worry, dude, it'll be fine." Sun said, "What's the worst that could happen?"
"They only just told us how the whole 'Fusion' thing works, I don't know what could happen." Neptune said.
"Then we'll learn as we go." Sun said.
"Pyrrha, we all know that I've accepted Blake for who she is, but there is no way that I want to do this." Weiss said.
"How about if we get you a date with Neptune?" Yang asked, nudging Weiss with her elbow.
"Then I'll...consider it." Weiss said.
"It's settled then." Blake said, "We'll go undercover and infiltrate the meeting, hopefully we can find out what we need to."
"And not kill each other in the process." Jaune said, hoping for the best.
Later, at a White Fang base, Savannah was sitting with some of her teammates.
"So that's when he told me that I'm stuck here until further notice." Savannah said.
"Wow, that's a bummer." a male Faunas, about Savannah's age, with what looked like slimy, white skin and dark blue hair said.
"Yeah, you're right about that, Volt." Savannah said, "I could have gotten the Dust if they didn't pull me out."
"I don't know about that." a female Faunas who was the same age as the other two and had two insect wings, dark tan skin and long black hair said.
"What's that supposed to mean, Rebecca?" Savannah asked.
"What they're trying to say is that you might have bitten off more than you could chew," Savannah's accomplice said, entering the room.
The man stepped out into the light, his face was covered by a full White Fang mask, he had a hood over his head and traditional male member gear on his torso, arms, legs and feet, his skin was slightly tanned.
"Hi." Savannah said, "Come to make my life worse?"
"No, I just wanted to come and show you all something." the man said.
The man flipped a switch, turning the lights off and a screen on. The screen was playing footage from the mech of Bumbleby and then security footage from Junior's nightclub with Amber and Malachite dueling.
"I believe that we have identified what the Dust is." the man said, "It's a rare type that has been forgotten."
"What is it?" Volt asked as he watched the video.
"Fusion Dust." the man said.
"Fusion Dust? What's that?" Rebecca asked.
"A mysterious form of Dust that holds many mysteries, the biggest one is its ability to fuse two people into one entity." the man said.
"It lets people fuse?" Savannah asked, "Why are you telling us this?"
"Because...I want you to find some." the man said.
As Savannah's posse was formulating their plans to find Fusion Dust, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Sun and Neptune were preparing for their own mission. And it was going to be risky in more ways than one.
That was chapter 4. It was fun writing the teams' interactions in this chapter. So, in case you guys are wondering, Savannah's group is the main Season 1 antagonists, we will be seeing Canon RWBY villains in Season 2 though.
Powerhouse out.
