Soon the medical team arrived and placed Aodh on a stretcher. They had put an oxygen mask over his face as he was brought onto the Airship.

The flight was a silent one as everyone on board was watching over Aodh. Ruby and Qrow in particular were both the nearest to him. As Ruby who was crouched down beside Aodh holding his hand asked. "What if we don't make it in time?"

"Ruby." Jaune spoke gaining her attention. Before he she could see the flourishing city of Mistral in front of them.

"We'll make it Ruby. Just like you've all made it this far." Qrow stated the them as he placed his hand on Ruby's shoulder.

Volume 4: Chapter 9: Mistral

It had been a few days since Team RNJR along with Qrow and Aodh arrived in Mistral. Soon after they arrived at a local hospital Aodh was cleared after a those few days. He soon found himself a few hours later outside the house his father and Team RNJR had booked for their stay in Mistral.

Walking into the house he found Ren, Nora and Jaune sitting in the living room just lying around. "What hate Mistral already?"

"Let's just say we didn't get off to a great start?" Jaune replied. Meanwhile Ren and Nora seemed to be just as down hearten as Jaune was.

"What sucked the life out of you guys?" Aodh asked with a confused look.

"We just finished our meeting with Professor Lionheart and well..." Ren began explaining before being cut off by Nora.

"And now we're back to square one."

"Well, I suppose that would explain it." Aodh responded with a groan himself. "Even with that information I gave over with the Spring Maiden's location..."

Then Aodh noticed that there were two people missing. "Where's Ruby and the old man?"

"Ruby's in her room over there and Qrow said he needed a drink." Ren answered as he pointed to Ruby's room.

"Thanks best say good bye while I still can."

"You're leaving?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah I have to head out for a while. Was supposed to meet up with someone a few days ago and i'm already behind schedule. But don't worry I'll be back before you all know it... Think of me like a bad rash you can't get rid of." Aodh finished with a joke causing the remaining members of team RNJR to softly chuckle in response.

"I'll see you kids later." Aodh stated to the three kids before entering Ruby's room.

However as Ruby heard the door open she tried to cover her comic as quickly as she could. "I wasn't reading anything I swear!" Ruby stated in a panic before she noticed her older cousin looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

Aodh had guessed by her reaction that she was reading something she really wasn't supposed to be reading, and got caught. "Ahh haaa... You need some alone time?" Aodh nervously asked.

Ruby's face instantly turned the same colour as he cape. "No! No I wasn't reading that! I was only reading a comic and didn't want to seem like a kid."

"Oh thank Oum..." Aodh sighed in relief before he and Ruby started laughing.

"So... What up? You feeling any better? Sorry we didn't pick you up from the hospital." Ruby asked.

Aodh then ruffled the top of Ruby's hair as he sat down beside her. "I'm fine kiddo. And I seen how meet Professor Lionheart has effected the rest of your team hehe..." Aodh then went silent for a moment with caused Ruby to become a little bit concerned.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Listen Rubes... I'm gonna be away for a while. How long I don't actually know..."

"Wait but we made it to Mistral! We still have so much to do yet!" Ruby frantically argued but Aodh reassured her by patting down on her head again.

"Relax kid it's not like that. Listen, something I gonna happen soon. I'm going to go and get us some help, that's all." Aodh stated.

"Okay..." Ruby stated before hugging Aodh tightly but stopped when she remembered something. "Oh I almost forgot..." Ruby then rushed over and picked up Aodh's Rua Solas.

"I got these fixed for you."

"Thanks squirt." Taking this weapons back from Ruby, Aodh put them on his wrists and hugged his cousin once more. After which Aodh stood up and walked towards the door but before he left he turned to look at Ruby once more. "I catch ya later squirt."

(Aodh and Qrow)

"So... You're gonna head off to meet up with Yang then?" Qrow asked his son as he took a sip from his drink.

"Yeah..." Aodh groaned as he took his own sip. "Well... I'm already late so, I'll have to find her."

"Sounds like fun." Qrow chuckled as his son continued to groan in annoyance.

"I gave her a rough location so she should be nearby there. Hopefully that'll narrow down my search area."

"You sure it'll be wise returning to Raven's camp. She did warn you that'll she'll kill you if you came back." Qrow asked his son. In truth he was worried that his sister would actually kill him.

"I'll be fine... Plus she should know I won't go down without a fight." Aodh stated as he finished his drink before slamming the glass down. "Oh and keep an eye out for Lionheart. I know Winter said he's been acting strangely the last few weeks so keep your ear close to the ground."

"Sure thing kid. I'll catch you later." Qrow stated as he waved his son goodbye before going back drinking.

"Yeah... And don't get too drunk." Aodh shouted back before leaving.

However as Aodh was leaving he bumped into someone. "Sorry about that kid. Didn't see you down there."

Aodh then looked down at the young, short boy. Aodh could tell he was from the top tier of Mistral. His white shirt was dirty and scuffed while there were clearly patches over the knees of his trousers. "You okay kid?" Aodh asked with concern.

"Ammm... I'm looking for an old crow?" The Boy seemed a bit confused about what he was saying as he asked Aodh.

"An old crow?.. You looking for my old man?" Aodh asked back. The boy responded by nodded a yes in agreement. "What's your name kid?"

"It's Oscar. Oscar Pine." The now named Oscar answered.

Aodh meanwhile took a look at the kid as he thought to himself. 'He's couldn't be working for Salem... He's far to young and and by the looks of him too green for that kid of work... And I don't think he's part of the tribe. Otherwise I would've seen him before... Maybe he's the son of one of the old man's friends here in Mistral.'

"You okay sir?"

"Qrow's in there kid." Aodh answered by pointing his thumb at the bar's door. "But a heads up for ya. He might've had a bit too much to drink but I'm sure he'll listen to ya. Oh and the name's Aodh kid."

With his directions given Oscar then noticed Aodh was walking away. 'Where do you think he's going?' Oscar asked Ozpin.

"I'm not sure... But... If Qrow is in the bar as he mentioned. He won't be far away for long." Ozpin answered as Oscar entered the bar and walked up behind Qrow. "Excuse me?"

(Yang)

Arriving on the continent of Anima around four days ago Yang was quickly making her way through the large continent thanks to motorcycle Bumblebee.

She was worried at first that Aodh did not arrive at the beach they agreed to meet on when she arrived but knowing how large Anima was she guessed that he was going to meet up near where her mother's camp was.

However as she drove through the dirt roads of Anima she noticed there was a sign up ahead and slowed down to an eventual stop so she could read it. The signpost pointing to the right stated for Mistral and left signpost was for Kuroyuri. However on that sign the words Bandits was spray painted over it in red block capital letters.

Yang smirked whenever she seen the sign. "You are in so much trouble when I find you."

"I hope you weren't referring to me by that now?" A voice called out to yang causing her eyes to widen. She looked behind he to find Aodh leaning against a tree. However she could tell he was out of breath.

"You here long?" Yang asked. "Ohh! I like the new look as well."

"At least someone noticed the new look." Aodh groaned in annoyance before responding. "No. I just got here. Been travelling for about a day."

"Travelling all day huh? How far did you come from?" Yang asked with curiosity

"Oh not far... Mistral to be accurate though."

"Wait Mistral!?" Yang was nearly practically shouting at Aodh. "It'll take me a week to get there on Bumblebee how'd you do it in a day!? And weren't you meant to be with my mom!? The hell were you doing in Mistral!?"

Watching Yang's face caused Aodh to laugh. "Well to answer your questions. One fuck you that's how. Two, it's a little complicated and Three. I was backing up Qrow with Team RNJR."

"RNJR? Is that what Ruby's team with Jaune and the others called?"

"Yeah... That or JNRR... Anyway, how's the arm? I can see you painted it."

"Honestly I'm still getting used to it." Yang stated as she loosen her arm by slightly lifting it up and down.

"The hardest part's waking up in the morning without it on." Aodh agreed with Yang before he started to rub the back of his head. "I've fallen over a few times because of that as well haha."

Soon both of them were laughing away and Yang got off Bumblebee and hugged Aodh. "Okay. That was funny... It's good to see you again."

"Likewise." Aodh responded as he returned Yang's hug.

"So. What's the plan?"

"We'll need to gain the attention of them."

"Got it! So start a fight with one and bust our way in." Yang stated with a smirk on her face as she looked at her cousin.

"Okay, I know that was a joke but being serous for a moment you'll have to be the one to gain their attention."

"Why though? You been in Raven's camp. You know where it is. Let's just go there instead."

"As much fun as that is I gonna say no. If I land up at the gates i'll be shot at and so will you. If we both land up in a party you, WON'T. Be shot at." Aodh responded to Yang before a grin started to appear over his face.

And Cut!

So that's the end of Volume 4 now. As you could see i took small parts of Volume 5 and put them in the story but the first few chapters of Volume 5 will be following Yang and Aodh as they try to get into Raven's Camp.
