Sunday

Bruce: " AAAACCCCHHHHOOOOOO! (Sniffle) Pardon me."

Ozpin: "Bless you."

Bruce and Ozpin sit in front of the Bat-computer. Bruce is wearing his suit on without the cowl. (Savior Suit) They are waiting for a signal to go off so Bruce can go stop the white fang from smuggling the same aura-draining gas he uses. Ozpin touches the keyboard everyone in a while and Bruce runs through his gear. Checking if each batarang is sharp enough, grapple gun has enough rope, gauntlet blades aren't loose. To sum up, it was boring, but both of their training has left them patient.

Ozpin: (looking at him) "You did remember to fix your noise concealing mask, right? The season is changing and you always get sick when this happens."

Bruce pulls out a piece of metal that looks to fit in the mouth opening of the cowl from his utility belt.

Bruce: "Have it (cough, cough) right here." (Silence) "Hey Oz." (Said man looks up) "Can- Can you tell me about my parents? As much as you remember anyway."

Ozpins outward expression seems to never fault. His inwards expression however, gets nervous.

Ozpin: "Your mother was a great friend and an even greater Mother it seems. (Chuckle) She always try to find a way around every obstacle in her way, quite like you. (Bruce smiles) And she was oblivious like you."

Bruce: "What am I oblivious of? (Cough, cough, wheeze)"

He tilts his head in a confused way, making Ozpin smile sadly. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell the difference between the two.

Ozpin: "I am certain you will find out soon enough."

Bruce: "Hmm, alright. What about my father."

Ozpin: "Well, your father. He-he was a.."

Right before he could finish his sentence, the bat-wave on the computer goes off. Both turn their attention to the big screen as a moving beacon is shown driving through the streets of Atlas at high speeds, away from the military compound.

Bruce: "Well, duty calls. I'm sure the General wouldn't mind if I (Cough, Cough) borrow some gas after I stop them right?"

Ozpin: "You will have to ask him yourself."

Bruce starts to walk towards the Batplane, which starts up as he gets a certain distance from it, He puts on his cowl and jumps on the wing as the door opens.

Ozpin: (over comms) "Bruce?"

Batman: "Yes?"

Ozpin: "Today shall be a test. Use as many fear tactics as you can against them."

Batman: "Roger."

The Batplane starts to hover above the ground and turns around before shooting off through one of the many tubes. Underneath the launch pads from the initiation, the rock on the side of the cliff open up as the plane shoots up into the night.

Ozpin sits at the computer, looking at the screen that shows Batman's P.O.V. He takes off the headset he is wearing and pulls a picture of a woman from his pocket. She has black, smooth hair. Silver eyes and a face that could melt anyone's heart.

Ozpin: "He is just like you, Martha."

Criminal 2 P.O.V

1: "I think we lost him."

3: "HAH, and he kept the police off of our tale."

2: "And people are afraid of the bat."

1: "Stop at that warehouse. That plane could find us at any moment."

They drive towards an abandoned warehouse near the docks. They speed down and come to a stop and jumps out of the car and head to the trunk and pull out a case. The last one closes he trunk and starts following the others. He suddenly stops and turns around and looks around. His wolf ears twitching to find the slightest sound. He stops glaring and turns around. All three walk in and close the door.

2: "Put it down there." They put the case down as he pulls out his scroll, but it doesn't activate.) "My scrolls dead, find a charge outlet." (He waves 3 off)

He walks away, leaving the other two.

1: "Why did Roman trust you with his information, if you can't remember to power up your scroll?" He asks looking skeptically.

2: "Maybe that's why. Who knows, that guy is as crazy as a-"

3: (AAAAAARGH)

2: "Why did he scream?"

They both run towards the area that the sound came from. They look at the body on the ground.

1: (Kneeling down) "His nervous system was put in shock from an overload of electricity."

2: "So what, did he trip into the power box? (scoff)"

1: " No, something worse."

2: "What?"

1 pulls something out of 3's knee, it was a black shuriken.

A Batarang.

2: "BACK TO BACK!"

They put their backs together and point their guns out into the darkness, slowly moving towards the crate.

1: "Do you hear anything?!"

2: "N-No, I don't hear anything."

Just as he says this, a pair of hands reach from the floorboards and grab 1's ankles and pulls him into the darkness

1: "AHHHH, HHELP!"

2 takes his gun and starts to shoot into the darkness. He manages to hit something that the bullets spark off of.

2: "Oh god, oh god, oh god."

He takes steps away from the hole and looks around himself. Suddenly a strong smell of blood behind him. He quickly turns around and starts shooting. A hand grabs his arm and moves it, diverting his aim. The same person grabs his throat with a bloody hand.

Batman: "I will need you later."

The Batman pulls his head back and all becomes dark.

Batman P.O.V

Ozpin: "Well executed, Bruce."

Batman: (Holding fingers on the cowl) "Please don't call me by my name. You don't (Cough, Cough) know who is listening."

Ozpin: "Do you not have faith in your encryption?"

Batman: "I do but-"

Ozpin: "Focus on the task at hand."

He takes off the mouth mask while walking towards the case. He coughs before kicking it open.

Batman: "Oh boy, a bomb." (Sarcastically)

Ozpin: "MOVE!"

Noone P.O.V

Time slows down as Batman is seen crashing through a glass window on the side of the building, but is caught by the explosion, shooting him away and tumbling cross the ground.

Batman: "Dang, the gas got me! (Coughing fit)"

He gets up as a voice is heard.

?: "Looks like you are having some trouble there, kid."

Batman: "If it isn't Slade Wilson, code name Deathstroke, the (Cough-Cough) aura-less mercenary."

Deathstroke: "Enough talk. Just you and me. COME ON!"

They start to slowly walk at each other. Slade unsheathes his Promethium sword, and Batman extends his blades. (Slade=S, Batman=B) S swings at B, but is blocked by the blades. He makes a 360 into a underhand slash. B jumps back and goes on the offensive. He rushes in a burst of speed and throws a punch, but S avoids it and puts him in a chock-hold. B uses the wall that they are by and walks up the wall before doing a back flip and throws S on the ground hard. He gets up and notices his blade is missing. He looks up to see B throwing his blade away.

Slade: "Impressive. Ten seconds in the fight and I am disarmed."

He unsheathes his second sword, but the blade is shot off. He turns around and raises his blade to a building far in the distance.

? P.O.V

?: "Sorry Death, boss needs him alive."

I re-chamber and looks through my scope and see the two fighting. I flicks a switch, activating a infrared sight that highlights a car in a container next the two and take aim

?: "Sorry, partner."

Deathstroke's P.O.V

Deathstroke: "Agh, Sorry for what."

The two advance but stop as their senses go off. The crack sound of a gun going off, then.

BOOOOOOOM

The duo is launched into two different directions. I quickly recovers and looks around, but the Batman is nowhere to be seen.

10 minutes later

I wait in the same spot until my 'partner' regroups on my location. I hear footsteps on my left to light to be him. I turn around and throw my broken blade at her feet.

Slade: "Why order him alive? I could have killed him then and there!"

?: "I don't need him dead, Slade, just tested."

Slade: "Well, your 'test' escaped."

?: "I have someone on him right now. (She walks close to me and touches my cheek.) You don't need to worry about a thing."

I slap her hand away and turn away to leave, but a wall of fire blocks my path. I turn to see her eyes on fire.

?: "I won't hesitate to kill you, so never assume you are to do something that I don't want you to do. Now BOW!"

I slowly nod and bow before her.

Slade: "Yes, Mistress."

Batman P.O.V

Batman: "That could have gone better."

Ozpin: "That was still an excellent performance without your aura."

Batman: "Now I know how long the gas lasts. Near 30 minutes."

Ozpin: "Return to the school. I will leave you to come on your own. I have paperwork to do."

Batman: "Goodnight Ozpin."

Ozpin: "Goodnight, Batman."

I press a button on my gauntlet to call the Batplane to me.

Batman: "Now I wait."

I stand there patiently. As time passes, the area I am around starts to feel different, as if something is messing with my vision. I look up to see a piece of paper floating down towards me. I grab it and read it.

Finally, I get to see you.

On the bottom of the Paper is the same lipstick stain from the arrow.

I turn around in a flash to see a girl smirking at me. Her entire outfit matches the stain. Her eyes are pink and black.

Batman: "Who are you?"

Instead of speaking normally, her grin grows as I grip my head when words fill my vision.

?: My NAmE Is NEO!?

When my vision clears, she is no longer standing in front of me. I look to my left and right before feeling a tap on my shoulder. I leap high into the air and land a few feet away from her previous position. I look back at her as she blows a kiss at me.

I throw three batarangs at the ground before her. She looks down, then looks up at me. My vision is filled again.

Neo: YoU NEED beTTeR aIM?!

I don't answer as I Press a button on my gauntlet, blowing up the batarangs. I wait for the smoke to clear, and she isn't there. I feel a blade pierce an open part of my armor, right beneath my ribcage. I use my semblance to get away from her. She looks at me and waves as if to say goodbye. I stand up and walk towards her.

Mid-way through my stride, I collapse on the ground and cough up blood. I feel a stinging sensation coming from my wound. I see a blade enter my field of vision. The tip was purple, with my blood on it.

Batman: 'I was poisoned'

I feel weight on my chest and struggle to look up. Neo was sitting on my chest, looking at me with a sadistic look on her face. She picks me up by my collar and gazes into my eyes. I cough up blood on her face. Some lands on her lip and she licks it away. As I stare at her in pain and disgust, she smashes her lips into mine, forces her tongue in my mouth and starts to explore. This lasts for a minute before she breaks away, her tongue red with my blood.

She pushes me to the ground, gets up and skips away. I struggle to fight against the poison, my speed semblance is speeding the process thanks to the training I had with it to use it to speed up other parts of my body. I reach in my belt and take out a canister with a long needle at the end of it. I stab myself and empty it contains into my body.

Batman: 'This should last till I get back'

Neo P.O.V

I slowly skip away so that he can see ME as the last one he will ever see. I was slightly disappointed that he didn't last long enough for me to TRULY satisfy my desire.

My senses start to go off as I lean my head to the left. A batarang flies past my face and impales the wall in front of me. I look back to see him leaning against his knees. I send my thoughts to him.

Neo: YoUR'e StIll ALIVE?

I start to smile.

Neo: 'We are going to have so much FUN!'

Batman P.O.V

Neo: YoUR'e StIll ALIVE?

I grab my head in pain, but it subside as I have acclimated to the pain. I look at her as my anger problems begin to arise. I walk towards her and stand right in front of her. She looks up at me and sticks her tongue at me.

I nail her right in her nose, but she, and the surrounding area breaks like glass. I look around and notice that she is not there anymore. The Batplane is hovering over the street. There are police on the ground surrounding the air it is hovering over. I look at one of the cars and see Prof. Goodwitch standing there talking to the General.

Batman: 'Does she follow me everywhere?'

I press a button on my gauntlet and open the door on the side. I leap into the cockpit and set the auto pilot to return to the Batcave.

Batcave

When the Batplane lands, I collapse out of the cockpit and begin to crawl towards the medical bay with my universal antidote on it. A long streak of blood forms as I move along. I hear the sound of a jet pack and silently thank god.

Ruby: " Hey Bru-BRUCE!"

She flies down to my side and takes off my cowl, trying to help me up.

Weiss: "Why are you screaming, do-OH MY GOD!"

She comes to my side and pick up the rest of my weight. I struggle to say where to go.

Bruce: "M-med-dical bay."

Three minutes later, we arrive. They help me onto one of the beds I have there. Ruby has already started to cry her eyes out, Weiss is not that far from it.

Bruce: "R-Rub, (She looks up in fear) O-O-Ozpin."

She disappears in a burst of rose petals towards the nearest exit. I look at Weiss who is crying, wearing my fear suits cape. This makes me smile.

Bruce: "Yo-ou look s-sup-id."

She looks up at me when I say this and even more tears come out of her eyes.

Bruce: "W-Wei-ss, An-tido-dote. C-c-case 13. 1-6-3-9-7."

She rushes towards the computer in the medi-bay and looks up what I said like her life depended on it.

She eventually finds the cure and gives it to me. This next part will scar her for a while.

Bruce: "Sorry."

I stab the cure into my wound and empty. Weiss face is of horror as she as can only watch as this 'Nightmare' happens.

In an instant, my senses are overridden with pain. I start to scream orders a Weiss that makes her hug herself and cry.

Bruce: "POISON, BLOODSTREAM, TAKE, KILL!"

My mouth starts to foam as I enter a state of bliss unconsciousness, leaving Weiss to inly hug herself for comfort.

Wednesday

I slowly open my eyes and look around. I was in the schools medical bay. Ozpin must have ordered me to be moved here. I look at the chairs to see team RWBY and JNPR looking at me.

Ozpin: "Enjoy your nap."

I chuckle at this joke.

Bruce: "How long was I out for?"

Jaune: "Three days counting Monday.'

Bruce: "Dang, sorry for almost missing our plans, Ruby."

She looks up and tarts to tear up.

Ruby: "It's n-no problem"

Yang pulls her into a hug, as Weiss speaks up.

Weiss: "How? (I look up at her) How can you worry about something like that when you almost died?!"

Bruce: "Like I told Yang, I will protect everyone, even if I die, because it is right."

Weiss: (Crying and smiling) "You dunce."

Blake: "How did this even happen?"

Ren: "I would like to know as well."

Ozpin: "I sent Bruce on a mission for me, but he was ambushed by the white fang."

Blake looks down at this.

Ozpin: "The doctor says that you will be cleared tomorrow. Take today to rest. (I nod) Alright everyone, let's leave him to rest.

Thursday, after classes

Ruby P.O.V

I am sitting on my bed as someone knock on the door. I leap down, startling Weiss and move towards the door. I open it to see Bruce wearing some random clothes.

Bruce: "Hey, Ruby. Ready to go."

I look at him in confusion.

Bruce: "You asked to go to the workshop today."

I blush in embarrassment, remembering the whole scenario.

Ruby: "Shouldn't you still be resting?"

He gets close to my ear and whispers.

Bruce: "My speed semblance also affects my healing."

Ruby: "Oh, okay. Hold on."

I go in for three minutes to change. When I come back out. I am wearing a different pair of clothes, my pajama shirt and a pair of black shorts.

Ruby: "Alright, lets go."

Thirteen minutes later

Ruby: "Okay, but how do you ignite the blade?"

Bruce: "I have no clue. It just starts to burn when I channel aura into it. Ozpin says that the metal reacts with your aura and chooses a dust element based on your personality."

Ruby: "So why don't you use the second mode for them?"

He pauses for a second and whispers under his breath.

Bruce: "Okay, what do you think my fighting style is like based on my nights?"

Ruby: "Umm, you are a close range, aggressive and fast."

Bruce: "Right, although I would probably use it in a friendly fight between friends. But in a real life, I wouldn't be able to utilize it as it would then be a mid-long range weapon."

Ruby: "Okay, I see."

Bruce P.O.V

I notice Ruby not being her normally cheerful self and acting very gloomy.

Bruce: "Ruby, (She looks up at him) what is bothering you?"

She looks to speak against me, but I keep a firm gaze on her. She sighs and starts to speak.

Ruby: "How did you get hurt on Sunday!? What really happened?!"

Bruce: "After I called the Batplane to pick me up, a girl named Neo came to me. (Just re-read the scene between the two)"

Ruby: (Tearing) "Bu your mind is tough. How did she manage to trick you?"

Bruce: "When I was training at a young age, my mentors taught me not only how to use my semblance to make me faster, but to also speed up other parts of my body needed to fight. The reason that her illusions worked is that I constantly use my semblance to process my surroundings. If I have aura, then this happens automatically. Her illusions were real in my mind, even though they weren't.

Ruby started to cry, and I get worried that I have hurt her in some way.

Ruby: "You know, (sniff) the whole team is broken after seeing what happened to you?"

I look at her with a small smile and tilt her head to look at me. Silver met silver as I wipe a tear from her check, making her turn red for some reason. I leave it alone as I speak.

Bruce: "Ruby, I promise you and the rest of the team that I will ALWAYS be there for you all."

She grabs me into a tight hug and cries into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and pat her soothingly.

Ruby: (Muffled)"You promise?"

Bruce: "I promise."

We sit there for a couple of minutes. Once she calms down, she loosens her grip on me and slowly looks up at me.

Ruby: (Blushing)"Thank you, Bruce."

Bruce: "Hey, what are friends for."

Once I say this multiple things happen.

I get slapped by Ruby, and she storms out of the room

Yang falls out of a closet in the corner of the room, laughing.

Jaune come to me and pats my shoulder, saying something about me killing a mood.

Bruce: "What did I do?"

Yang starts to laugh even harder.

Friday

No one P.O.V

After Bruce talked to everyone and they started to come down from the fear of losing him, he managed to get them to go out to vale, with Weiss agreeing

Weiss: (stopping and raising her arms in amazement) "The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!"

Ruby: "I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss." (frowns a little) "It's kinda weirding me out..."

Weiss: (turning to Ruby) "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!"

Yang: (sighs) "You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."

Weiss: "Quiet, you!"

They walk towards the docks, where Bruce was taking pictures of the ocean.

Yang: "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?"

Ruby: (covering her nose) "Ugh, they smell like fish!"

Weiss: "I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!"

Blake: (as Weiss starts walking away again) "She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament."

Weiss: (scoffs) "You can't prove that!"

Bruce: "I am here to get the early look at all of the metal being imported."

Yang: "Um, why just that?"

Bruce look at her and gets excited

Bruce: "I am working on a special project. (Shaking in excitement) I heard, that they are going to sell plates of Tungsten. OHHH, there's so much that I can do with that!"

Ruby: "TUNGSTEN! (Shocked) Do you know how much they are selling for?"

The rest of the team starts to zone them out as they start talking about their fetish. Finally Weiss breaks them up

Weiss: "Okay! You can talk about that later.

Ruby: (turns her head to the right) "Whoa." (the team looks at a shattered window down the street and a door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force before walking over to the detective in front, who is writing on his pad) "What happened here?"

Detective 1: "Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." (walks over to his partner)

Yang: (sighs sadly) "That's terrible."

Detective 2: (off screen, to his partner) "They left all the money again."

Ruby: (turning her head when she hears this) "Huh?"

Detective 1: "Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"

Detective 2: "I don't know, an army?"

Detective 1: "You thinking the White Fang?"

Detective 2: (removing his sunglasses) "Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough."

Ruby: (looking at Bruce) "Are you okay?"

Bruce is pissed, plain and simple. He takes a deep breath and answers.

Bruce: "I am fine. This could have been avoided."

Ruby: "You were poisoned, not much you could have done."

Blake: (When they finish talking)"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths." (crossing her arms, getting serious) "They're a collection of misguided Faunus."

Weiss: "Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!"

Blake: "So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"

Ruby: "Hmm... Blake's got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago... Maybe it was him."

Weiss: "That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." (to Blake's growing anger) "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal."

Bruce: "That's not true at all."

Sailor 1: (off-screen) "Hey, stop that Faunus!"

As the team overhears the cry for help and rush over to investigate, a Faunus with a golden monkey tail is seen running down the length of the boat and leaping on to the edge as the two sailors are about to apprehend him.

?: (looking back at his pursuers) "Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha! (he jumps off and hits the dock running)

Sailor 2: "You no-good stowaway!"

?: (using his tail to hang on a lamppost while he peels back a banana) "Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" (before he eats, one of the detectives down below throws a stone at him to get his attention)

Detective 1: "Hey! Get down from there this instant!"

The Faunus drops the banana peel on the detective's face, who growls in return. The monkey-like Faunus twirls up to crouch on the lamppost, laughs in amusement, and proceeds to leap off and run away from the detectives. As he runs past Team RWBY, he winks at an astonished Blake in slow motion, but see's Bruce staring at him before time speeds up again and he continues to be chased by the officers.

Yang: (watching the Faunus get farther and farther away) "Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..."

Weiss: (holding up a finger) "Quick! We have to observe him!"

Weiss, Yang, and Ruby give chase. Blake stands still, lost in thought, then comes back to reality and follows her friends. The team rounds the next corner, but then Weiss bumps into someone and trips. She looks up only to see Bruce jump on to a building and disappear from her view following the Faunus.

Weiss: "Take notes, Bruce!"

Yang: "Uhh... Weiss?" (she points strangely at the girl underneath her teammate)

Weiss finally sees that she fell on a smiling girl, which startles the heiress and she hastily gets up.

Penny: (still down on the ground, smiling widely) "Sal-u-ta-tions!"

Ruby: "Um... hello."

Yang: "Are you... okay?"

Penny: "I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking."

Yang: (the team looks at each other in bewilderment before Yang speaks up again) "Do you... wanna get up?"

Penny: (thinks about this for a moment) "Yes!" (she leaps back on her feet while the team steps back a little) "My name is Penny! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ruby: "Hi Penny. I'm Ruby."

Weiss: "I'm Weiss."

Blake: "Blake."

Yang: "Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" (Blake hits her side) "Oh, I'm Yang."

Penny: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Weiss: "You already said that."

Penny: (pauses again) "So I did!"

Weiss: "Well, sorry for running into you!" (they turn around and start walking away)

Ruby: (waving her arm) "Take care, friend!"

Yang: (when they get far enough away from a startled Penny) "She was... weird..."

Weiss: (looking to her right) "Now, where did that Faunus riff-raff run off to?"

Penny: (suddenly in front of a surprised Weiss) "What did you call me?"

Yang: (as Weiss looks back and forth in shock and Yang looks apologetic) "Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!"

Penny: "No, not you." (walks through the group and leans her head down to Ruby) "You!"

Ruby: (startled) "Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh...""

Penny: "You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?"

Ruby: "Uuuum..." (she looks over Penny's shoulder while her teammates motion to deny her) "Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?"

Penny: (Ruby's teammates comically faint, but Penny looks overjoyed and laughs) "Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!"

The entire group seems to stop and blush on what is on their minds

Ruby: (groaning to Weiss as she brushes herself off) "Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?"

Weiss: "No - she seems far more coordinated."

Yang: "So... what are you doing in Vale?"

Penny: "I'm here to fight in the tournament."

Weiss: "Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?"

Penny: (saluting) "I'm combat ready!"

Weiss: "Forgive me, but you hardly look the part."

Blake: "Says the girl wearing a dress."

Weiss: (with her arms crossed) "It's a combat skirt!

Ruby: (the skirt sister speeds over to Weiss' side) "Yeah!" (Weiss holds out her hand and Ruby low-fives it)

Weiss: (realization hitting) "Wait a minute." (walks over to Penny and grabs her by the shoulders) "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?"

Penny: "The who...?"

Weiss: (holding up a poor drawing of the criminal-in-question) "The filthy Faunus from the boat!"

Blake: (off-screen) "Why do you keep saying that?!"

Weiss: (turning her attention from Penny to Blake) "Huh?"

Blake: (walking over to Weiss, angry) "Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!"

Weiss: "Oh, I'm sorry." (releases Penny and motions to objects around her) "Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?"

Blake: "Stop it!"

Weiss: "Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!"

Blake: (growls) "You ignorant little brat!"

Weiss: (Weiss looks offended, but when Blake walks away, she follows) "How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"

Blake: "You are a judgmental little girl."

Weiss: "What in the world makes you say that?"

Blake: "The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!"

Yang: (sliding up to Ruby, looking uncomfortable) "Um, I think we should probably go..."

Penny: (popping up behind Ruby, smiling) "Where are we going?"

Weiss: "So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!"

Blake: "That's not what I meant, and you know it!"

As Yang and Ruby continue to observe, the scene shifts from afternoon near the docks to nighttime in their dormroom.

Weiss: "I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!"

Blake: "That is the problem!"

Weiss: (getting up from her bed) "You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!"

Blake: (gets on her feet as well) "There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"

Weiss: "People like me?"

Blake: "You're discriminatory!"

Weiss: "I'm a victim!" (as they stare each other down in silence, Weiss leans in close, leering as she speaks quietly) "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? (leaning against the bookshelf by the window) "It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear; board members executed; an entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home, furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood." (bangs her fist on the bookshelf)

Ruby: (going over to comfort her) "Weiss, I-"

Weiss: "No!" (turns away and walks back over to Blake) "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"

Blake: "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!"

Silence drops down on the scene again. A surprised Weiss backs away slowly, and Blake realizes her mistake as she looks around at her teammates.

Blake: "I... I..." (she dashes out the door)

Ruby: "Blake, wait! Come back!" (she runs over to the door and calls to her down the hallway as Yang sits herself down and Weiss looks down)

Blake runs outside and arrives at a statue of an armored man with a sword and a hooded woman wielding an axe on an outcropping, staring at the Beowolf under the stone heroes in particular.

She closes her eyes and slowly lifts her arms up to her bow and pulls the string to release the bow from her hair. She wipes away a tear away as the camera pulls up to reveal her Faunus ears. On the verge of crying, she becomes startled when she hears a voice above her.

?: "I knew you would look better without the bow.

Bruce: "Are you okay?"

She turns around and looks up.

The next morning at Beacon. Ruby wakes up from her beauty sleep, yawning in the process. She looks over at Blake's empty bunk, and groans sadly. She leaves her dorm and opens Bruce's room with her remote, only to see he isn't there.

The scene then shifts again to Ruby, Weiss, and Yang walking through the empty streets of Vale.

Ruby: "They have been gone all weekend..."

Weiss: "Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself! Besides, Bruce is already with her."

Yang: "Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates."

Weiss: "Is she? We all heard what she said!"

Ruby: "Weiss."

Yang: "Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her!"

Weiss: "A member of the White Fang! Right underneath our noses!"

Ruby: "I just hope she's okay..."

Bruce: "GUYS!"

They turn around to see Bruce running towards them.

Ruby: "Bruce, where did you go yesterday?"

Yang: "We were worried sick!"

Bruce: (Not stopping) "I followed that faunus, Sun by the way. We talked and I took him to beacon. We saw Blake outside and she made us come with her. I had to leave to the school. Check tea shops and libraries. Gotta go, bye!

Elsewhere, Blake is sipping a cup of tea and sighing. She looks up at Sun sitting across from her, who holds his drink with his tail as his hand props his head up. He takes a sip when Blake puts her cup down.

Blake: "So, you want to know more about me..."

Sun: "Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" (Blake gives Sun a firm look) "Yeah, like that."

Blake: (rolls her eyes before closing them and looking at him sadly) "Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?"

Sun: "Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"

Blake: (sips her drink while listening until she speaks up for the big reveal) "I was once a member of the White Fang."

Sun: (promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information) "Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!"

Blake: "That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it...Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." (she wiggles her cat ears beneath the fashionable disguise to demonstrate)

Sun: (Understanding) "So... have you told your friends any of this? Besides Bruce."

Blake merely looks down in shame and says nothing.

Roman: "Are you sure that this will work?"

Cinder: "Are you questioning my plans, Roman?"

Roman: (Raising his arms in defense) "No, but why are we doing this anyways?"

Cinder: (Ignoring Romans question)"Are you ready, Neo?"

Said girl puts on lipstick and smirks at her. They walk off together.

Roman: "Wait. (They turn around and look at Roman) Can you at least give me a hit for why we are doing this?

Cinder: (Smirking maliciously)"We have seen his good side for three years, and it's time to see his dark side."

Sun and Blake are seen walking down an alley.

Sun: (hands behind his head) "So, what's the plan now?"

Blake: (contemplating) "I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before."

Sun: (widening his eyes) "What if they did?" (Lowering his arms and pacing in front of Blake as he continues his theory) "I mean... the only way to prove that they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there! Right?"

Blake: "The only thing is, I've no idea where that would be."

Sun: "Well, while I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas."

Blake: "How huge?"

Sun: "Huge. Big Schnee Company freighter."

Blake: "You're sure?"

Yang: (coming out of a shop with Weiss, waving to the person inside) "Thanks anyways!" (sighs) "This is hopeless." (at Weiss when she looks around nonchalantly) "You really don't care if we find her, do you?""

Weiss: "Don't be stupid; of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her." (walks forward, calling over her shoulder:) "The innocent never run, Yang!"

Yang looks down in thought.

Penny: So, Blake is your friend?"

Ruby: (sighing as they make their way down the sidewalk) "Yes, Penny."

Penny: "But you're mad at her?"

Ruby: "Yes. Well, I'm not. Weiss is."

Penny: "Is she friends with Blake?"

Ruby: "Well, that's kind of up in the air right now..."

Penny: (trying to contemplate this) "But why?"

Ruby: (sighs again) "Well, you see, Blake might not be who we though she was..."

Penny: (gasps) "Is she a man?"

Ruby: "No! No, Penny. She's..." (Stops and sighs, looking at Penny as she talks now) "I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off."

Penny: "I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things."

Ruby: (turns her gaze downward sadly) "Me too..." (They continue walking)

Amidst the chirping of crickets and darkness of night, Blake lays flat on her stomach on the rooftop overlooking the shipment of Schnee Dust containers.

Sun: (off-screen) "Did I miss anything?"

Blake: (looking up as Sun drops down to her right) "Not really. They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there."

Sun: "Cool." (holds out one of the green apples in his arms) "I stole you some food!"

Blake: (giving Sun a questioning look) "Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?"

Sun: (defensively countering:) "Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" (Blake delivers an angry glare at him) "Okay, too soon!"

Just as he says this, the winds blows all around them, and they look up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, descending in the middle of the cargo containers and extending a ramp for a black hooded individual with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.

Blake: "Oh no..."

Sun: "Is that them?"

Blake: (staring at the bloody wolf on the back of the man's outfit) "Yes... It's them."

White Fang Soldier: (to the other White Fang members coming from the aircraft, motioning with his rifle) "All right, grab the tow cables!"

Sun: "You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?"

Blake: (staring sadly at the scene) "No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." (she closes her eyes in despair, only to open them suddenly when she hears a new voice)

Roman: "Hey! What's the holdup!?" (the soldiers look up at Roman gesturing widely and coming down the ramp) "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?"

Blake: "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that." (she stands up and unsheathes the katana of Gambol Shroud before walking off the edge of the roof)

Sun: (alarmed) "Hey, what are you doing?!"

Blake falls to the ground in a crouch, then continues on to hide behind one of the containers, peeking around the corner to see Roman berate a White Fang member holding a coil of rope.

Roman: "No, you idiot! This isn't a leash!" (as he's looking around, Blake suddenly appears behind him with her blade at his throat) "What the- Oh, for f-" (rolls his eyes when he's cut off by Blake mid-swear)

Blake: "Nobody move!"

The White Fang soldiers ready their guns and equip their swords in response.

Roman: "Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady."

As the White Fang closes in on her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her Faunus ears are shown to the world.

Blake: "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?"

The White Fang members lower their weapons a little at this development, unsure of what to do, when Roman laughs.

Roman: "Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?"

Blake: "What are you talking about?"

Roman: "The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!"

Blake: "Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation."

Suddenly, the air is filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup.

Roman: (looking up) "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation..."

Two more Bullheads are hovering above the heist, and as Blake watches in horror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, resulting in a large explosion.

Penny and Ruby turn around upon hearing the noise, seeing the smoke rise from the docking bay just a few buildings away.

Ruby: "Oh, no..."

Blake, dazed but relatively unhurt on the ground, quickly rolls and runs out of the way of Roman's continued attacks, flaming missiles destroying cargo behind her as she retreats behind more containers.

Roman: (approaching slowly) "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..." (his taunt is interrupted when a banana peel lands on his head, causing him to look up and growl at the assailant)

Sun leaps from the container above Roman and drops down on the criminal's face feet-first, rolling up and readying himself to fight.

Sun: "Leave her alone!"

The Bullheads open to let more White Fang members descend on the scene, standing by Roman as he gets up and surrounding Sun.

Roman: "You're not the brightest banana in the bunch, are you, kid?"

With that said, the White Fang charge at the monkey Faunus, but he manages to dodge slashes and get some of the soldiers with his fists and kicks until he rolls out of the way, pulling out a collapsible red staff. He quickly uses this to beat down on each opponent that nears him, falling each one in a single flaming blow when he twirls, even creating a scorching shockwave to beat the last of them.

Blake peers around the corner of the container to watch Sun jump around and beat more White Fang soldiers, causing one to fly over Roman's head. The crime boss growls in annoyance and aims his cane at Sun, firing a shot that he defends himself from just when Blake leaps into the action.

Blake: "He's mine!"

Blake goes in close and becomes a blur of afterimages as she slashes both blades at Roman, who backs away and deflects each would-be blow with his cane at unbelievable speeds. Blake continues to dash, hop over, and slide around Roman to try and find a weak spot, but her enemy, while barely deflecting the attacks, lands a few hits on Blake until one final beating with his cane causes her to go down.

Just as Roman deals with one opponent, Sun appears right behind her and disconnects his staff in two spinning circles of flame-firing shotgun nunchucks that only slow down once to show the audience what they are before becoming twin arcs of offense again. Sun swings each gun at Roman while firing everything he as at him, but even with the rapid series of shots and flying bullets, Roman manages to defend himself against every bullet and hit until a millisecond-long pause allows Blake to get a slash in and knock him back.

On his back, Roman notices a container hanging by a crane right above the two warriors, and gets up to fire his cane at its supports. Blake and Sun leap behind it.

Roman: "As much as a thrill it is fighting you all, I have to wait for the guest of honor."

As he says this, Bats start to surround him in the shape of a tornado. He feels his stomach being pushed in as he is kicked. The bats come together to form Batman. (Stealth suit)

Batman: "I'm honored."

He charges Roman as he recovers. Batman throws a punch that Roman dodges. He retaliates by swinging his cane. Batman catches the cane throws Roman over his shoulder.

Roman: "Oww, (To no one in particular.) It would be great if you hurried up."

Batman: "You will be unconscious in a few seconds."

Sun: (As they are fighting) "WOW, the Batman is real…..I thought he would be taller."

Blake: "TAKE HIM DOWN BATMAN!"

Sun: (Startled)"Are you….a fangirl?"

"Hey!"

Ruby appears on the rooftop overlooking them, Crescent Rose extended and ready for action. Penny, Weiss and Yang stand behind her.

Roman: "Well, hello, Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?"

Batman P.O.V

I looks up at her and nod. She nods back. When I turn towards Roman, I notices that he isn't there. I look around and notice that no one is around and all the destruction is gone. I hear giggling behind me and look to see Neo Smirking. I use my semblance to rush at her, from our last encounter I figured that if I go to fast for her, she will never catch me off guard. As I am near her, a massive fireball hits me to the ground. I look up to see that girl who set off the alarm a while back. I try to get up, but some type of fire clamp is holding me down. (He doesn't know it is Cinder yet)

Cinder: (Grasping my face) " Ohh, if only it wasn't so soon. I love to watch your private moments."

I head butt her, and receive a hard slap.

Cinder: "Never do that to your master."

Batman: "You are not and will never be my master."

Cinder: (giggle)"We shall see. Neo, if you would be so kind. (pulls out a radio) Bring them in,"

As she walks off, I feel my mask pulled just above my lips and am pulled into a kiss by her. As this happens, the entire environment breaks as I see Yang fighting Deathstroke and Ruby trying to get past Roman to me. I push Neo off, but start to get woozy. I begin to lose consciousness, the last thing I see is Penny falling down.

Noone P.O.V

Ruby: (looking behind her) "PENNY!" (While her attention is diverted, Roman snarls and fires his cane at her, launching the young Huntress-in-training back from the explosion's force and sending her scythe flying away) "AAAAAH!"

Yang: "RUBY!"

As she says this, Slade sprays her with knockout gas, Leaving Weiss and Blake to defend their fallen teammates but are under-prepared. Three Bullheads come from the skies and Shoot missiles near the two. They explode, releasing the Aura draining gas that was stolen, the two are now defenseless as Slade comes around and knocks them both out. He then makes a stride towards Batman, but is stopped by Cinder.

Cinder: "Don't even try"

Slade nods and sheaths his blade.

Roman: (To the remaining White Fang members) "Alright, load them onto the Bullhead."

Cinder looks at Batman and sighs.

Cinder: 'Soon.'

Three hours later

Batman slowly opens his eyes to notice that it is raining. He sits up and rubs his head, remembering what happened. He stands up and looks around, noticing no one but a pile on the ground. He slowly walks towards it. When he recognizes what it is, his heart stops.

Team RWBY's weapons.

He drops to his knees and touches them. He then looks up to the rainy sky and screams for all of remnant to hear his anguish.

Later, Ozpin is looking through at the Batcomputer's screen as it show Batman in the Batmobile (BVS). He takes out his scroll and opens up a communication with Qrow. The message says "THE QUEEN HAS PAWNS. BOTH WANT THE KING"

Ozpin: "Oh god."
