Nightfall

Team RWBAY were driving through an old tunnel until they came to a stop. "Why did we stop?" Yang asked.

"We're here and there's a pile of vehicles blocking our path" Adam pointed.

The five then exit their own vehicle stretched after being in the car for so long. The five then climbed over the pile of vehicles and on the other side was the end of the tunnel and metal fence blocking the exit to the tunnel.

The five readied their weapons after hearing a voice "Don't shoot, don't shoot" a solider came run out of the blizzard and stops at the fence between him and the team "Please we need to get back in that snow cat and get the hell out of here" they all hear a loud roar, "you think its one of those rhinos?" Ruby asked

"I don't think so, it sounds bigger" Adam said

"Those things, you don't understand!" the terrified solider said

Then they could hear and feel giant step above them.

The soldier bangs on the gate "uh let me in! I'll tell you everything-" he's then stabbed by a giant claw penetrating though his body, breaking the gate open and pushing the team back. They only saw a glimpse of the creature as it retreated, and the body fell off the claw."

"WHAT WAS THAT!? Weiss panicked.

"I don't know, it's not something we've haven't encounter before" Blake said

They all then got up. Adam slowly walked and exited the tunnel "Adam what are you doing!?" Yang asked.

Adam raised his hand for them to stay where they are. He went out and look at the top of the tunnel and say nothing, "whatever it was, it's gone for now" he said

Team RWBY joined up with Adam and they all walked to the deceased soldier.

Adam noticed his weapon and picked up, "this isn't standard Atlas Weaponry, 'Maverick' he read

"its really cool looking, I'll say that" Ruby said

A hunter busts out of a container and aims and fires and kills it quickly "Wow that thing really packs" Yang commented.

"Ironwood to Team RWBAY, its started, contain the outbreak before it spreads any further, target the hives first, deploy the drill and establish a defensive perimeter. If we lose control of the situation, this will end up just like Rio Colorado."

Adam groaned not liking that he has to take orders, but he knows he's doing it whether he's order to or not

"I'll get the drill" he said

Later

The team has taken down three hives and now start their 4th. On top of a roof top blocking the entrance to a room.

"Interference from the storm- if we lose contact your orders are to locate Dr. Cross, and collect intel related to the nightfall program, secure the compound and stand by further orders, good luck."

"I can't believe he has to monitor us through our scroll comms" Adam complained.

"he's just looking out for us" Weiss said

"No, he's not he's making sure we follow orders and procedures." Adam argued.

"Hey hey" Blake came in and stopped the fight before it started "let's just do our job and get out of here."

She then started the drill, and they all ready up and scouts attacked.

The defeated the small wave quickly "that was a quick wave" Ruby said with relief.

"yeah, a bit too quick if you ask me" Weiss said

Adam notice Blake's ears twitching "Blake what is it?"

She answered "I hear something, its sound like flashes like I hear it for brief moments" the rest of the team kept their eyes out for was out there. Yang saw a hunter on top of one of the buildings but is glowed blue instead of red "Over there!" the blue hunter jumps and then vanished "where did it go"

It then flashed appeared in front of her scaring her to fall. She fired a couple and the blue hunter jumped and vanished and then appeared the on top of the roof of the blocked room it then jumped and vanished again.

"Circle up" Adam said

They formed a circle facing back-to-back, they then started to hear the flash sounds and kept their eyes peeled. The appeared in the air "Duck!" Adam quickly swings his sword cut the crypitd's face killing it.

They all walked the new Alien's corpse "they can teleport now?!" yang said "Well that's just great."

The hive was then destroyed, and they all went in the room "If I'm not wrong, you're the same fur ball who cleaned up my mess back in Rio Colorado, that was good job of work if I may say so" they all heard a voice coming from their scroll comms

"Archer" Adam and Ironwood said in unison

"Adam Taurus, I never thought I see you work with humans, have you final accept your place" this caused Adam to growl

"As for you General Ironwood, I hope your not planning to set off another bomb."

"Time to pack it in Archer. To many people have died already" Ironwood ordered

"And if I stop now, they will have died in vain. I'm afraid I cannot do that General" Archer's call then ended

Adam swiped the desk clean angrily "aaaaahhhhhh!"

Blake put her hand on his should in hope to calm him down. Instead he stormed back outside into the cold

Ruby say a key on the floor and pick it up and tried it on one of the locker inside the room and opened and found a large machine gun "Wow! Check this out" ruby grabbed it "looks cool sis, but we should get moving, bring it with you we might need"

They all arrived outside and got a call from Ironwood "Be advised: IR shows a massive heat source at the far end of the compound, thermal readings are off the chart. We have located the source of the outbreak. Head up there and check it, but make sure you're loaded prepared; out."

"What does he mean the source of the outbreak?" Weiss asked "this is not some sort of disease spread."

They all went to the front of the compound where they met another gate in front of a giant snow pile.

Then a howling cry was heard. Something massive emerged from the snow pile. The team watched it rise up a slowly walked backwards with their mouths open. Then it hammers its sharp claw into the ground in front of them. Creating a massive shock wave that sent them flying backwards and the massive cryptid roar. The team quickly got back on their feet and backed up.

The creature then started to charge up "Lookout!" Weiss shouted

They saw the cyrtid bring out its machine guns and fire. The team sprinted and took cover behind a broken-down snow cat.

"How are we going to take down that thing?!" Blake asked

"Schnee summon your Knight" Adam said.

Weiss as so, her knight raised and clash against the massive cryptid.

"I don't think it will last for very long" Weiss said about her Knight.

Adam looks around and saw a mini gun on the rail on top of the roof. "Alright Ruby, you and the Schnee go on top of that roof and use the mini gun and your machine gun, and when I give the signal, we all attack."

"What about the us three then?" Yang asked

"We are going to keep this thing busy and distracted until they get up there" he explained

The giant spider like cryptid then stopped firing and open fired some eggs that landed on the sides of Team RWBAY

"Please tell me those are not what I think they" Weiss said

The eggs then hatch and came out the Hunter Cryptids. "Move" the group broke cover and scatter as the hunter's attack.

Blake, Yang and Adam dealt with the hunters while Weiss and Ruby made their way to the roof until the massive cryptid launch pods into the air and came down creating a red toxic gas cloud.

Ruby use her semblance carrying Weiss through the gas. *cough*

Weiss maned the mini gun and Ruby mounted her machine gun on the rail

"Aim for the center glow on its head" Adam said

"We can't, its moving to much" Ruby said

"I got an idea, Adam, I'll need some energy as boost."

Yang fire her gauntlet boosting into the air then fire again sending her to the creature, her eyes the turned red. Adam jump into the air then sent a wave of energy that hit Yang sending her hurdling. She heavily punches the creature's nose stunning it.

Adam shouted "Now!"

Adam used the maverick in one hand and blush in the other. Ruby fired her machine gun. Weiss use the mini gun. Yang fired her gauntlets. Blake fire shroud.

The giant cryptid starts to retreat "It's retreating" Blake said

The five regrouped "that was the same thing we saw at the tunnels" Ruby said

"I can't believe that there are cryptids that big" Weiss said

"Let's keep moving before it comes back" Adam said

They all continued forward.

"let's hit that next hive" Adam pointed to on the left

Ruby placed the drill "don't activate it yet, Yang help me with this" the two went over and picked up an oil container and dumped the oil, making a barrier to the entrance to the hive "this will help use make a trap and use it as a barrier" Adam nodded to Ruby and then Yang, Ruby started the drill and Yang fired her gauntlet at the oil spill that they made, creating a fire wall. Scouts, Hunter and Scorpions came charging.

A rhino then came busting out of a container "Rhino!" Weiss shouted

"IceFlower" Ruby shouted.

Weiss summoned a glyph in front of Ruby aiming at the Rhino and fired making the Rhino completely frozen in ice. Yang then upper cut punched the rhinos head shattering it.

The wave of cryptids ended, and the fire barrier went out.

"let's keep going, there's another one blocking a room" Adam said

Later the team defeated the wave of cryptids and destroyed the hive and went into room and 7 lockers and 11 windowed cages. "Think this is where the outbreak originated from?' Blake asked everyone

Adam went over to a console and typed "No, the outbreak didn't originate from here it originated from the center building, and turns out that those blue cryptids are called 'Phantoms' and that they don't teleport they just turn invisible but that's not the weirdest thing yet"

"What do you mean" Weiss asked

"Take a look at this" the girls came over to the console "this contains the records of ever time a cryptid is release and put back in, and when I get to the end it shows that 17 cryptid were released at the same time, now either they were so stupid to bring out multiple cryptids at the same time for studying or- someone release them on purpose." The girls eyes wide

They then all went back outside and started to hear static on their comms.

"Are you guys hearing that too?" Yang asked

They all nodded and then hear a voice "this is Samantha Cross, your general is wrong I'm not dead, not yet anyway, I'm at the research lab, those creatures are everywhere, please hurry" the call then ended

"We, got to go and help her!" Ruby said

"we will, but we still need to get rid of the hives first" Blake said

They all went to their next hive and placed the drill and started it. Cryptids came charging, the team held their ground as best as they could until two Rhinos and a Phantom showed up.

Yang upper cut punch the rhino into the air, Weiss create ice spikes underneath it, Yang then jump and punching the Rhino down landing it impaled into the ice spikes.

Blake spotted the Phantom vanishing and reappearing constantly. When it reappeared again Blake threw her sword, hooking it onto the Phantom's back. It jumped and vanished but Blakes sword was still visible. She pulled her ribbon and saw her sword coming towards her and used her bladed sheathe and sliced. The creature appeared and was dead, blake pulled her sword out the Phantom.

Adam dashed forward and sliced through the Rhino and dashed sliced back over, repeatedly until he stopped and sheathed his blade and the Rhino fell.

The Hive was then destroyed and then suddenly the massive Cryptid came out of nowhere and then roar and then went away.

"Why did it not attack use?" Adam said out loud.

"Who knows, but a least it gave us a entrance to the Center building" Yang point to an opening that was once blocked.

They all went in and came upon a trashed work monitor office and a big, engraved stone.

"What is this?", Ruby went in to touch it, Adam stopped her "I don't know but its best to leave it alone."

"Hey come check this" Blake said

"There are some of Dr. Cross's recordings about her time here and files about everything they know about the cryptid" they press play.

"I've been here a month, but I still freeze up every time I hear that shrieking coming from the hatchery. Archer says it's a normal reflex, something hardware in our DNA from prehistoric times. He calls them Cryptids, I've seen specimens from a dozen different species plants, animals, grim, things they don't even have a name for, an entire ecosystem, it's the greatest scientific discovery of time. Why are they keeping it all a secret and why did they fly me halfway around the world to see this?"

"it's been two months. I've been studying the records of the nightfall program. After the caverns were breached from the shard of the moon, Archer discovered the colony in Rio Colorado. He brought the specimens here. They found out that the cryptid world was a harsh planet its skies stained black from the ash of a hundred volcanoes, or the if you believe the gods created them and hide them underneath the planet and that planet is Remnant. Which is why Archer hates it when people drop the A word. There's nothing alien about them; they've been here longer than we have.

"These things are from Remnant? They have been here, beneath us all this time!?" Weiss panicked.

"Let's finish listening, maybe we'll find a way to stop them."

"The Crypitds are a frightening demonstration of natural selection, each species is connected to the others by a web of symbiotic relationships the cryptids cultivate and defend huge fungal colonies called hive. The hives emit pheromones that stimulate the Cryptids metabolism, rapid cellular regeneration renders the hives indestructible unless the nerve Chord is hit which is below the surface of the hive."

"That would why the drill has been able to destroy them" Blake said

"After three months of sitting on my frozen ass. Archer finally showed me why I'm here, the suprize was worth the wait, we call it the obelisk" an image of the same engraved stone that was right beside them appeared "the symbols etched into the surface of the artifact are, their strangely familiar. I told archer that translating a dead language is like- like solving a crime, I need the facts to find the clues, like where did it come from and what else did he find there? I didn't get the answers I wanted. For some reason Archer and the others are keeping me in the dark.

"I've hardly slept in three week, the translation consumes every waking minute. Archer brought me out to the hatchery today, he said I needed a break from the translation he said he had something special he wanted me to see. We watched it tore its way out of an egg sack the size of a trailer and proceeded to attack a terrified horse Archer forced into its pen. I can't get the sound of that animal's screams out of my head. Archer was laughing and smoking a cigar, like- like a proud father"

"that's the big cryptid that we saw", Blake point to an image of it on the screen and read "Specimen: Breeder"

"The name fits with its description" Yang said

"that's not the only thing about it" Adam said holding a file folder "apparently the breeder is a genetically design cryptid, made to make more Cryptids to study."

"They made that thing?" Ruby said in shock.

They continued on with the recordings "I don't know how long it's been sense the outbreak started, minutes, days. I can't tell the difference anymore. Those things are still hunting me. I must be the only one left. Its always the same, over and over I run they catch me, somehow, I'm still here. I can feel their hatred, the blood lusts driving them mad, but their fear is stronger what are they afraid of, what do they smell inside me, why won't they let me die?"

"That was her last recording" Blake said.

"is there anything on Archer?" Weiss asked

Blake searched "nothing other than some contact messages"

"Let's hear them" Adam said

Blake pressed play;

"You don't need to know my reason. all you need to know is what I have to offer and what I want in return" Archer said

An image of an unidentifiable man show up and said "You are a traitor. And yet you expect us to trust you?"

"I expect you to act in your own self-interest. I'm sending you a sample. Photos, research data, prototypes. Everything you need to confirm that my offer is legitimate." Archer uploaded data of Scorpion, Rhinos and a weapon called Venom-X

"Next time we talk, you'll be ready to deal or I'll take my business somewhere else. Perhaps to one of your competitors. You have 24 hours to consider my offer" Archer warned the unknown contact.

Blake then played the next message.

"make it quick"

400 million lien for the live specimens another 200 million for the nightfall research data" the unknown contact offer

"*growl* I don't need money I need a ship and crew that can follow my orders. We don't have time to haggle I need your answer tonight."

"Why?"

"there's been a…leak. Someone on the inside. We have to assume this location has been compromised.

An alert saying an unauthorized call was made from Dr. Cross's User ID popped up

"How long do you have?"

"18 hours, if the weather holds. After that…well you saw what happen in Rio Colorado." The message ended.

"This was made after when Cross sent her message to us" Blake said

"I'm more interested in this 'unknown contact'" Adam said

"to bad his voice and face are covered and distorted" Yang said

"let's see if we can find more" Blake press play on another message

"We agreed there would be no further contact until-

"we've got a big bloody problem someone sabotage the hatchery! The Cryptids are running amok! Archer said

"Problems are expensive Mr. Archer, you can't afford another."

"I need extraction team now!"

Are you saying that you are unable to deliver the items you promised?"

"are you listening, it's a bloody slaughter house!"

"then you can throw yourself to the creature or try to hold out until the huntsmen arrive. I believe the creature will be more merciful. Goodbye Mr. Archer.

"I'll see you in hell you backstabbing son of a-"

The transmission ended

"That was the last transmission that was made" Blake said

"Then I guess Archer won't be escaping then" Adam said

"let's put a monitoring device on is, in case they make contact again" Weiss suggested

"General we found some messages between Archer and a unknown contact of his, I'm placing a monitor device so you can monitor if Archer makes any more contact connection"

"Excellent work, what about Dr. Cross? Have you found her yet?"

"No but we are looking for her in research center" ruby said

"Okay good lucky out there"

The five continued into the research center and saw 5 hives that they have to drill.

Later they have destroyed 2 hives. And had just finish their third which lead to a room full of new weapon with green liquid in them

"what are these?" Yang asked

"I think these are the new weapon they made, called Venom X, I saw it in one of the samples that Archer sent to his contact." Adam said

"Anyone know how to work them?" Ruby asked

"you're asking us? You're asking if the 4 of us know how to work a completely new weapon than none of us have ever seen before?" Weiss said

"I say play around with them and we will find out" Yang said

"I vote for Yang's plan" Adam pick one up from the stand then so did the girls.

The five then brought the drill to the next hive location and activated it. Cryptids came charging

"Sayonara Biatch!" Yang fire her Venom-X shooting a green ball and sticking to a hunter

"What!? That's what they do? They just stick? Come ON!-" Yang tighten her grip and unknowingly pulled another trigger causing the ball to explode killing the hunter and the cryptids near it instantly.

"how did you do that!?" Ruby asked

"I don't know, I guess is trigger shoots it, and this trigger detonate it" Yang pointed to a trigger on the foregrip.

They then look back and saw scouts pass through a gas cloud from the Venom-X, but the suddenly die.

"What just happened?" Weiss asked

"I think that after the Venom-X explodes it creates a gas cloud that's toxic to them." Blake said

"We got more incoming" Adam said, he fired two shot from his Venom-X in front of them, try to fire more, but nothing happened "it's only has two shots!? How the hell do they load these things anyway?" he hands no choice, as the Cryptids got closer to the green balls he fired, detonated killing them and then more Cryptids from behind came passing through the gas cloud killing the scouts but the hunters were still alive. The hunter jumped, Adam stowed his Venom-X and shot wilt out of bush hitting the head killing it. He then catches his sword and sheaths. He then notice a small little egg spawn from the hunter. He looks at Venom-X and back at the egg, picks it up. "ew. What are you doing?" Ruby asked

Adam open a plugged tube placed the egg on top and squeeze draining it into the Venom-X, then dropped the drained egg and then plugged back in the tube

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Weiss said from the sight of Adam squeezing the egg.

Adam fires the Venom-X again shooting the same projectiles from before and then detonated them.

"Guess we just figured out what fuels this thing." He said

"yeah, and its disgusting" Yang complained

The drill had finished "looks like we have just one more" Blake said

Just as they were heading to the last hive they started to here banging sounds and a womans voice "hey, hey, over here, I'm in here, come on, Hey!"

They looked behind them and saw dr. Cross banging on the other side of the glass window. They rush towards the window "Dr. Cross are you okay?" Ruby asked

"For now. Listen, the obelisk, I finally finished the translation, Archer doesn't know what its say, and he'll never know" Dr. Cross, picked up a gun and pointed it at her head "because I'll be dead"!

"Dr. Cross what are you doing!?" Weiss shouted

*Gun shoot*

Dr. Cross crashed on the glass holding her shoulder they all looked behind her and saw Archer who shot her and walked up to her "NO! get away from me!" she said weakly

Archer grabbed her lower jaw and slaps her unconscious and then lift her up over his shoulder.

"I can't let you leave now can i? you've seen too much" he hit a closing the window shades, but as the he was about leave 2 hunter jump out from behind the door and the shutter was then fully closed

"Dammit" Adam punched the wall "I'm going after him" he started leave

"What? you can't leave we still have to finish the mission"

Adam snapped "Screw the mission!"

The 4 girls rushed in front of him "Adam you can't go after him by yourself" Blake said

"Try and stop me"

"We are not asking you to stop but if you continue to do this, you're going to get yourself killed" Yang said

"If you go after him then you could put yourself, the mission and us in danger and cause this outbreak to worsen" Weiss said

"We are a team, you need us just as much as we need you" Ruby said

"we'll finish the last hive then; we'll go after Archer."

"….. fine" Adam calmly said

"Okay looks like the last hive is up there" ruby pointed to the center top platform.

They reach the final hive and ready the drill.

"Stay away from the metal edges. I turned on a couple generators to electrify them to make a trap" Blake said

Ruby activated the drill and they all readied into fighting stance. Cryptids came out of everywhere attacking.

Adam, Weiss, Yang, Ruby and Blake killed as many Cryptids as they could as fast as could, however they could, with what they could.

"I don't know if we can hold out much long!" Blake shouted

"There's too many of them."

Adam looked to Weiss "Weiss, put up some glyphs."

"Where?"

"Everywhere!"

Weiss stabbed her rapier into the ground and spawned tens of her glyphs all around, Adam deepened his stance ready to draw his sword.

"What are you doing?!" Yang asked

Adam said "Slay All!" all his red features glowed, he unsheathed his sword and dashed from glyph to glyphs at unbelievable speed, sliced through every Cryptid. Then landed back where he started. All Cryptids were frozen, he then slowly sheathes blade and all Cryptids fell.

"That was unbelievable" Ruby said

"That was awesome!" Yang said

Adam smiled

A rhino then broke through a wall and jumped on the center platform. Ruby diagonal spun strikes until she pierced the its head.

"Team RWBAY, we've got a utility vehicle on the move at the north end of the compound. Archer is making a run for it! You can cut him of at the northeast gate, get out there now!" Ironwood said

"we're on it general" Ruby said

"How are we gonna get there in time to stop him?" Blake said

"Let's go through that hole in the wall that Rhino made" Yang said

"Let's go" Adam and the girls jumped down and run through the hole wall and into another monitor room and then maneuver through a hallway and sprint through another hole in the wall that leads to the outside."

They see Archer put Dr. Cross's unconscious body into the vehicle, he then puts himself in and closes the door and drives off.

Team RWBAY chase after them until the breeder comes down from the buildings blocking them, letting Archer past through a checkpoint of the facility and escape.

"I guess we are going to have to finish this thing first" Yang said

The Breeder lets a roar and fires it machine guns. "Scatter!" they all spread out

Ruby grabs her Venom-X, fires her two shots at the breeder's head, detonates them, causing the Breeder to stumble backwards revealing three glowing weak points.

Ruby fires her scythe and land the bottom spike into the weak point she then fired a few more times digging the blade in deeper until it popped. The breeder roared in pain then got back up, ruby retreated to her team.

The breeder also retreated on to one of buildings of the facility. Three rhinos spawned from the ground.

Weiss fired her Venom-X, landed on one Rhinos head then detonated and the other two got caught in the gas cloud. Ruby, Adam, Blake and Yang circled around them and rapidly strike and killed them.

The breeder came back down then some podded plants grew and glowed "what's happening?" Adam asked

"I think it is using those plants to heal itself" Blake observed.

The breeder was completely heal, Blake fired her venom-X and detonated them mid air above the breeder's head, stumbling it backwards again then Yang's eyes turn red, launched herself and super punch its weak spot causing it to explode. The breeder fires its machine guns. The team sprinted to cover behind a snow cat.

"one more weak spot to destroy then it should die" Yang said

"I hope so, because I think I'm out of aura and out of dust" Weiss said

"Weiss here, take the maverick give us cover" Adam handed his maverick over to her

The breeder stopped firing "its starting to heal itself again" Ruby said

"take out the plants" Blake fired her pistol

Weiss used the maverick and Ruby used her sniper scythe destroying all three plants.

"Ok, lets do this" Adam fire the last rounds of his Venom-X knock the Breeder backwards, they all then fired everything they had at the weak spot until it popped killing.

They all slow walk up to its body "General ironwood, the breeder is dead but Archer escaped"

"Archer won't get far, there nothing out but 600 miles of thin ice. I've sent troops and transport to clear any stragglers, investigate the rest of the facility and pick you."

"okay"

"Hey, Mr. Taurus, thank you"

"don't mention it."

Yang tossed Ruby her scroll "Hey Rubes, take a picture of me and this thing as a souvenir" she placed her on the breeders nose and smiled. Ruby aim the scroll and notice the Breeder started glow again "YANG!

The breeder raised its head and bite off Yang's right arm

"aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" she screamed in pain

"NNNOOO!" Adam dashed jump in front of the breeder's face. Stun it from the strike of his sword, then jump high in the air sheathe his sword and all his red features glowed then goes down pulls the trigger while his hand is the hilt and slice the Breeder completely in half.

Adam sheathes his sword and rush to the other "how is she?"

"She's unconscious, she lost a lot of blood." Weiss said few bullheads and transport vehicles arrive and deployed their troops.

"Lets get her back to Atlas" Adam pick and carried Yang on to a vehicle and drove.

Later

Yang was in a hospital bed while Ruby Weiss and Blake were sitting with her. "How long did the doctor's say it would be for her to wake up?" Ruby asked

"soon" Blake said

Weiss placed her hand on Ruby's. Yang slowly started to wake up, the other girls hopped out of their chairs.

"Yang"

"Hey guys. Where- where are we?"

"we're back in Atlas, safe" Blake placed her hand on Yang shoulder who looked and notice her arm was arm was gone. Yang shed tears and looked around and notice Adam wasn't around "Where's Adam?"

Later

Adam was up on the balcony watching the sun set until Blake came up behind him "though I might find you here."

"Yang is awake, the doctor says she'll be fine."

"Mm-hm"

"It wasn't your fault, you know?"

"What make you think I care if it was my fault?"

"I heard what you said when the breeder bit her."

"What makes you think I care what happens to a little human girl?"

"You can put up this lone wolf or lone bull stuff, all you want but I know deep down you care. You're at war with yourself, you're blinded by your revenge and rage."

"Are you asking me to use your friends as my replacements for our fallen brothers and sisters?"

"No, I'm asking you to let go."

"Let go? You want me to just let go, just forget everything?"

"No, I want you to move forward, continuing onward, because if you don't, you'll never be happy, and you could by alone forever." Blake walked away leaving Adam to himself.

"She right you know" Adam turned around and saw Professor Ozpin

"Why do you care?"

"Why are you still here? We made a deal, you helped us with this, we let you go. So why have you not left.?"

"There's nothing left for me, I'm probably out of the White Fang for working with you people, I have nothing"

"You have a choice"

"What, them, Team RWBY?"

"No, a choice to be better, and what you are looking for is out there, you just need to discover it, but sometimes what we're looking for is sometimes in front of us."

"And what is it that I'm looking for?"

"A place to belong" Ozpin said and walked away.

Later

Adam walk into the infirmary Team RWBY turned and saw him

"hey" he said

"What are you doing here?" Weiss asked nicely

"I thought I come by and check on Yang and give her this" Adam gestured a box he's carrying."

Adam walked to Yang's side, placed the box on her bed. "I know its not a replacement for the real thing, but I figured you could make good use of it." He open the box revealing a robotic arm "Wow, thank you, you didn't need to do this"

"I did actually, I have to look out for my team"

"Team?" Ruby said

"Yes, we are…. *sigh* Team RWBAY, aren't we?"

"aw!" Ruby jumped huge Adam then came in Yang then Weiss and finally Blake joined in the group huge. Adam huge them back.

I'm sorry I took so long, please leave a review and follow and favorite, see ya next chapter
