Hello. Here's the next chapter. This isn't my best chapter but it certainly isn't my worst. Anyway, we've got a joke in the beginning then the plot happens.
Enjoy.
Beacon was in chaos. Ozpin had been missing for three days without a trace. Glynda was about to start going on a rampage. Nearly every student team had been dispatched into the city of Vale to search for the headmaster but not finding anything.
"Glynda what do we do now?" Peter Port asked her as he and the other teachers gathered in the headmaster's office.
"We continue our search," she replied, "Bartholomew, do we have any ransom letters?"
"No," Oobleck said then pulled up a schedule for the airships, "And there were no airship arrivals or departures between we last saw Ozpin to when we first declared him missing."
"Where could he have gone?" Port asked as he scratched the back of his head.
"It is possible that maybe he went for a walk into the Emerald Forest and got lost," Oobleck suggested then looked around the room to see Ozpin's cane, "Although he would never go outside of Beacon without his cane."
"I'm declaring this a level one emergency," Glynda said moving behind the desk, "I am assuming control of Beacon until Ozpin is fou-" She was cut off by her scroll playing the song We're off to see the Wizard which every teacher knew she used that for when Ozpin's contact. Pulling out her scroll she said, "Ozpin where the hell are you? I was about to declare this a level one emergency."
"Good thing I called then," Ozpin replied. "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"What's the bad news?" she asked already forming a scowl on her face.
"Sedric has escaped with the help of an assassin named 'New Moon,' and they knocked me out."
"What's the good news?"
"I actually got some sleep." At that remark every teacher in the room groaned. "What? I got some sleep. For once I finally got sleep."
"So," Sedric said as he looked over at New Moon who was sitting across from him on the airship nearing it's destination.
"So," she replied looking back at him.
"How've you been?"
"I've been good. I haven't been captured by incompetent Beacon students lately."
"Well to be fair, Blaise was helping them," Sedric said causing New Moon to look shocked.
"Has Blaise gone rogue?"
"Yes and no. He apparently has amnesia from hitting his head too hard and by coincidence he went to Xais Cay for a mission."
"So did he destroy the machine?"
"Yeah he did."
"Good riddance."
"Hey it was a good solution. It was much better than going out onto the front lines and killing humans," Sedric nearly yelled at her causing her to flinch, "Not to mention now the grunts are working with a human lowlife named Roman Torchwick."
She stood up then slapped Sedric. "But you went subjugated to the torture by the machine. All those hours of pain for the slight maybe sliver of a chance that it would work. Lucius was insane. He didn't even try many grimm trials before he moved onto the fanus. He started with the youngest and worked his way up. After he managed to get me to go through it he was about to do you but was stopped by Blaise who was barely even able to walk after the experiment. Nine years ago Blaise saved your life and you pay him back by leaving us with Lucius and the machine."
"Lucia, I-"
"Don't even fucking try to apologize," she snapped at him, "The only reason why I rescued you from Beacon was because Blaise told me that if he ever went to the cache and didn't tell the clerk the message that would mean either you or Lucius was in trouble. Even after he lost his memory he was saving your ass."
"Actually, he didn't do that on purpose," he told her, "I killed one of Blaise's friends, do you think he would've helped me out on his own accord. I just told him to go to the cache."
"You're a manipulative asshole," she told him, "You had better be glad you're my brother because if you weren't you'd be dead by now."
"Hey it was either I did it and got out or I didn't and was stuck at Beacon's detention center," Sedric said then Lucia stood up and started walking away from him. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go and find Blaise," she told him.
"I wouldn't do that," he said as he drank his coffee and cringed at the taste. "Also one last thing," he said making Lucia turn around to look at him, "You do have beautiful eyes. You shouldn't hide them behind sunglasses."
"I hide my eyes because of what that maniac did, and I'm sure he does too," Lucia said adjusting her dark aviator sunglasses.
"Alright Junior whaddaya ya got for me?" Blaise asked as he approached Junior at the bar in his club.
""As much information as I could find. You seem to be in a good mood. What happened?" he asked reaching under his bar and pulled out a black folder from under his bar.
"I just made a decent amount of money within the last few days," Blaise as he sat down on the barstool.
"That's good, I charge 5,000 lien, and that's with the friend discount," Junior replied as he held up the folder.
"Yeah I can pay that," Blaise said then reached into his backpack and pulled out the right amount of lien then slid it over to Junior.
Junior picked up the stack of money and looked at it then put it in the safe under the bar. "It's the right amount," he said then slid it over to Blaise, "Are you sure you want to see what's in there? Some things are better left unknown."
"Well Junior," Blaise said as he put the folder into his backpack and he stood up and started to head towards the door, "I have to know."
"Well kid did you find what you wanted?" Roman asked as he approached Blaise who was looking through the files on the couch.
"There isn't much information in here," Blaise said then shuffled through some more papers, "It says here that the Campione family came from the Ayw Isle. The Campione family was a long line of human champions who won many battles until as the legend says 'Lorenzo Campione, one of the greatest in the long line of champions killed a sacred wolf and his descendents were to be forever cursed to live as wolf faunuses,' but there was much speculation about that saying he fell in love with a wolf faunus girl and they had their own family in private. Eventually the Campiones all died off except for the wolf faunus branch. The remaining family then moved into the ancestral home in the Ayw Isle north of Vale. And that is where the documents end because the Campione family then became secretive."
'So now you have this information, what are you going to do?' Neo's note said after she slid it over to Blaise who read.
"I have some time left from my break," Blaise replied then pulled out his scroll from the school and bought an airship ticket to Ayw Isle that left in a couple of hours. "I have a plane to catch. Do either of you want to tag along?"
"Actually, I have some more business to attend to, so I won't be coming along," Roman replied as he pulled on his bowler cap.
'I have to stay here and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Sorry. :(" Neo's note said.
"Alright then, Roman can I leave my Wolfgang disguise here?"
"Sure, why not," Roman said then opened a drawer in a cabinet, "Just keep the things in here and they'll be here when you get back."
"Hei Xiong!" Junior heard a feminine voice shout from outside the club. Then a gunshot was heard as the doors were thrown off their hinges into the dance floor stopping the music.
"Is she back?" one of the henchmen asked Junior who just sighed regretting just buying replacement doors the day before.
"No, if this was Goldie we'd be in the fight by now," Junior replied then several silent gunshots were heard from the doorway as several of his henchmen fell over onto the ground unconscious. "Not to mention Goldie doesn't use fast acting anesthetic darts."
"Hei Xiong! Junior!" the voice shouted as the girl walked into the light carrying a railgun shotgun and a dart pistol. On her back was an italian long sword and on her belt were two light cavalry sabers. She had long straight black hair and wolf ears on her head. She was wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses. She was wearing a black tank top under her black trench coat, black cargo pants, and black combat boots. "You and I need to have a talk."
"Look Wolfie, I just went through a major remodeling after the last crazy girl came in demanding information. If we can do this without loss of life, or worse, property damage, can we take that plan of action?" Junior asked as he calmly walked over to Lucia.
"Sure," she said then holstered her shotgun on her back and her pistol on the back of her belt making Junior breathe a sigh of relief just long enough for Lucia to smirk and stomp on his foot, "But no calling me Wolfie. If you're going to call me anything call me New Moon."
"Alright then, New Moon," Junior said getting his foot from under hers, "What do you want to know?"
"Where can I find a wolf faunus named Blaise Campione?"
"He's staying with Roman Torchwick for the next week and a half."
"And where can I find Roman Torchwick?" she asked in a slightly irritated tone.
"Neo, how long before the pizza gets here?" Roman asked her has he looked up from his papers.
'Any minute,' she signed at him making him reach for his wallet then the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," he said then walked to the door. Just before he opened the door there was a gunshot that broke through the door and connected with Roman's chest throwing him back.
"Pizza time," Lucia said breaking through the door carrying a pizza in one hand and a smoking shotgun in the other. "Where is Blaise?"
"Jeez," Roman said in between coughs, "He left to go to the Ayw Isle a couple hours ago."
"That idiot," she said then walked in and placed the pizza on the table and took a slice then pulled out her scroll to try a schedule the closest flight only to find that the next one leaves at noon the next day. "He had better not be dead by the time I get there. Also," she pointed at Roman, "You're an asshole."
"So why are you going to the Ayw Isle?" the passenger sitting next to Blaise asked him about an hour into the flight.
"I'm going there for break," Blaise replied not technically lying.
"Well son, you just wasted your money," the man said, "The island has gone to shit within the last ten years after the big fire killing one of the more famous faunus families. Let's just say the people there don't like faunus." Blaise was then glad he was wearing his hood up.
There we go, some plot, some back story, introduction of a new character that's already been in a previous chapter, and more plot. I think we'll have in the next chapter some more plot and maybe some interaction with some team RWBY members.
Good night,
