Ricky was free-running from the rooftops. He stopped every few buildings to activate his eagle vision. After some more time searching he saw his gold target and when he deactivated his eagle vision he saw Blake and another Faunus with a tail. Ricky remembered him from the docks and moved slowly above them eavesdropping on the conversation. He herd them converse about a plan they had.

"I still don't believe the white fang is behind these robberies, they've never needed that much dust before." He could hear Blake say.

"What if they did," the other Faunus began "I mean the only 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?"

"The only thing is, I have no idea where that would be."

"Well while I was on the ship I herd some guys talking about off loading a huge shipment of dust coming in from Atlas."

"How huge?"

"Huge, big Shnee company freighter."

"Your sure?"

"Positive"

"Then we better find that shipment" Ricky said landing next to the other Faunus. He took out a bow-staff and pointed it at Ricky.

"Wait he's one of my teammates!"

The Faunus retracted his staff and put it away. Then he and Blake both looked at Ricky with his hood on.

"I guess your gona go tell the others?" Blake said.

"Not exactly, let's just say there's a divide on who trust you and who doesn't" Ricky answered. "But after this I think we both have some explaining to do" he said taking off his hood.

"Okay then the shipment is going to be on the docks tonight, we'll find out who's behind the robberies" Blake said.

"So... Are you a Faunus or Human cause that kinda looks like fur" the other Faunus said pointing at Ricky's head.

"I am a Faunus and it is fur, wolf fur" Ricky answered giving the other Faunus an annoyed look.

"alright...Sun" he replied.

"Richard, now where is that shipment exactly?" Ricky asked Sun seriously.

"Follow me" Sun answered and the three began to walk towards the docks.


They spent the afternoon into the night watching the cargo on the docks. It was quiet for the most part as all they saw was the workers off load the crates and leave them on the dock. Sun had left some time ago and came back.

"Did I miss any thing?" he asked.

"Not really, they've off loaded all the crates from the boat, now there just sitting there" Blake answered.

"Cool, I stole you some food" he said handing an apple to Blake.

"Do you always break the law without a second thought?"

"Hey weren't you in a cult or something?"

Blake gave him a look and he responded "Ok too soon."

Ricky herd a loud noise in the distance and asked "do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Sun asked. Then a strong gust was felt behind them an the noise was loader. The three of them looked up to see a VTOL hovering above with some spotlights running though where the crates where. It moved to one of the clear spaces and landed turning off both it's search lights. The door opened and a figure in a uniform walked out, he wore black pants, had a white tunic with a red symbol on the back and wore a Grimm mask.

"Oh no" Blake said.

"Is that them?" Sun asked.

The three of them could clearly see the symbol on the person's back. No doubt it was the symbol of the white fang. Others began to walk out each had a weapon.

"Yes it is" Ricky answered.

"It's them" Blake also answered.

"You really didn't think they were behind it did you?" Sun asked Blake.

"No, I think deep down I knew, I just didn't want to be right."

Ricky was holding a lot in as he clenched his fist. Then they herd some one call out "HEY what's the hold up?!" to the white fang members. It was Torchwick. He continued "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."

"This isn't right," Blake began "the white fang would never work with a Human, especially not one like that." She unsheathed her sword and jumped down.

"Hey what do you think your doing?" Sun called to her as she jumped down.

Ricky stayed on the roof top with Sun and activated his eagle vision. He saw Blake move around the crates to get behind Torchwick. He was conversing with a member who had two cables in his arms. Blake got behind him with her Gambol Shroud to his neck. Ricky was to far to hear their conversation but he saw the members point their guns at Blake as she removed her bow showing her two cat ears to the members. Ricky saw as they put their weapons down. Just then two more VTOLs came and hovered around Blake and Torchwick. Then there was a loud explosion knocking Blake back. She was on the ground and Torchwick began to shoot his cane at her. She got up quickly and rolled away from the explosions, she continued to dodge back flipping away from the shots. She began to run behind some crates as Torchwick walked to follow, but a banana peel landed on his hat. Sun then jumped and landed on him and rolled away from Torchwick on the ground. He turned back and said "leave her alone." Then the hovering VTOL's doors opened and more white fang members jumped out and landed around them. "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch are ya kid?" Torchwick asked as the members charged at Sun. Before they could get close enough to attack a smoke bomb went off and every one was blinded. It cleared quickly revealing Ricky chopping into the back white fang member's neck as he was bent over. Three others were on the floor as well. Ricky moved back to back with Sun as more members charged them. Sun took out his Bow-staff and began to hit members causing them to fly back. The ones that charged Ricky had their attacks redirected as Ricky parried with his tomahawk and slashed with his sword. Sun sent one flying to Torchwick witch he dodged and retaliated by shooting Ricky, he was in the middle of a attack by two of the members, one swung downward witch Ricky dodged around the other swung from down-up, but Ricky stopped it and moved behind him as the other stabbed his allies throat and Ricky pushed him to the side with the other member's sword still piercing it and it gave him the opportunity to slash the other's throat with his tomahawk. When the blast came Sun moved in front of it and blocked it by spinning his staff. "He's mine!" Blake's called out as she jumped above Sun and began to attack Torchwick with her sheath and sword. She moved quickly using her semblance to attack from all directions, but Torchwick kept up as he blocked each attack with his cane and then jabbed Blake's side causing her to stumble and he swung upward and around each strike hitting Blake and a downward strike put her to the floor. Then Sun jumped in and transformed his staff into shotgun-nunchucks and began to attack Torchwick while using the shotguns to give speed to the swing of his nunchucks. Then he began to swing both of them with incredible speed while still firing at Torchwick. He managed to block all the shots until Blake came in and knocked him back.

He got up and shot at a crate suspended from a crane, causing it to fall above Sun and Blake. They dodged out of the way and Sun landed in front of Torchwick who had his cane pointed at him. Ricky got on top of the crate and was about to attack Torchwick. Then someone yelled out "HEY!" and they all turned to the top of a wear-house to see Ruby walk to the edge of the building and swing her scythe, sticking it in the roof. "Ruby!?" Ricky called out, "well hello red, isn't past your bed time?" Torchwick called to her. Ruby had turned away for some reason and Torchwick took his chance and shot at Ruby. "NO!" was all Ricky could call out as he saw Ruby get hit and knocked back. Torchwick began to laugh maniacally and Ricky clenched onto his weapons harder as he began to glow silver aura. Torchwick began to run away and Ricky called out "GET BACK HERE!" And gave chase via the crates. He saw Torchwick turn the corner as he pushed two members out of his way. Ricky sheathed both his weapons and while running, jumped off and activated his two hidden blades. He landed with them fully into the two members as they died instantly. He continued to chase Torchwick on foot as he was not far behind. Three more VTOLs came in and dropped off around twenty troops surrounding Ricky and stopping him from continuing his chase. He was still glowing silver as all the white fang members saw him, one walked forward and said "give it up kid, even if you were a real Faunus theres no way you could beat us." Oh he shouldn't have said that as a huge shock wave was dispersed from Ricky engulfing all the members and the VTOLs flying above as they were cut in two. They all looked in awe thinking Ricky had done it, but that was their mistake as Ricky disappeared from the center and fell down on two members taking them out with his hidden blades. They all trembled at the sight of him as he stood up now his aura seemed to be smoking off him. Two tried to attack him with swords but Ricky dodged under and cut ones leg causing him to fall the other swung horizontally and Ricky blocked with his sword and dug his tomahawk deep into his throat. He continued to walk towards the rest. They took aim, but one charged Rick who had sheathed his sword and tomahawk. He swung but Ricky used his hidden blades to block,turn him around, and he began to charge the rest as they fired into their ally. Ricky got to the line and pushed his meat shield into one to the members propelling him backwards. The two on each side swung for his head, but he ducked, activated his hidden blades, and stabbed both of them in the throat when he rose up. They fell back and another member from Ricky's left was about to strike downwards when Ricky moved back and the sword landed into the shoulder of another sneaking up on Ricky's right. Ricky then punched the left ones arm with his blade active stabbing into his arm, he then used his left fist to stab his gut and the two members fell to the ground. Then Ricky ran to the others to the left. The first took a defensive stance, but Ricky slid causing him to fall forward, Ricky jumped up and on him sticking his left blade in his neck. Another came from Ricky's right, he quickly took out his tomahawk to block the attack and it got caught on the sword. Ricky got up and moved it to his left using the sword to block another attack. The two members had their swords crossed with Ricky's tomahawk above holding them down. He quickly moved his tomahawk to the right ones neck and did the same to the left with his hidden blade. Six more surrounded him and they all tried to attack at the same time, but another smokescreen appeared and slicing and chopping was herd. When the smoke cleared Ricky was the only one stood and the last member charged him. Ricky had his sword and tomahawk out and blocked the attack and began to hack on the members neck striking it multiple times until he fell back.

He let out a wolf howl that was herd by everyone at the docks. He looked over with anger in his eyes to see Torchwick running to get into a VTOL. He turned and said "these kids just keep getting weirder." "OH NO YOU DON'T" Ricky screamed running at Torchwick, he let out a wolf snarl as he leaped to attack. Torchwick put up his cane and shot Ricky right in the chest knocking him out as he let out a wolf squeel. "Down boy" Torchwick said and flew off in the VTOL.

Ricky woke up to Ruby, Blake, Sun, and Penny for some reason, all standing around him. He leaned up and his hood came off as he grabbed his head, he had one of the biggest head aches. Ruby let out a small gasp as Ricky was rubbing.

"I'm not missing anything am I?" He asked because of her reaction.

Ruby bent down next to Ricky. He felt Ruby touch something on his head, but it wasn't his hair or head. Ricky stopped rubbing his head and his eyes widened as he moved his hand to his head and felt two furry ears on top of his head.

"My ears they...grew" he said in shock.

"I thought they wouldn't?" Ruby questioned.

"I thought so too" Ricky replied confused.

"Guess your a real Faunus now" Sun said with his arm extended towards him.

Ricky grabbed it and got up and replied "I was always a Faunus."

They all saw as cop cars come to the docks and the crime scene was quickly closed off. They had the 5 of them sit near the entrance on some boxes and Blake began to explain everything about her past and Ricky did the same. After a while Yang and Weiss came to meet up with them. Yang seemed surprise to see Ricky with ears, but Weiss just continued to walk to Blake. Ruby got up and starting talking quickly to Weiss as she continued to walk towards Blake.

"look Weiss it not what you think she explain the whole thing you see she doesn't actually wear a bow, she has kitty ears and there actually kinda cute."

Weiss continued to walk over to Blake. Blake stood up and said "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the white fang, back when I was with-"

"Stop" Weiss interrupted "do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you and you?" She said looking at Richard who now stood up with his hood down.

"Twelve hours" she continued looking at Blake "that means I've had twelve hours tothink about this, and in that twelve hours I've decided...I don't care."

"You don't care?" Blake questioned.

"You said your not one of them anymore, right?"

"No I haven't been since I wa-"

"Abu-bu-bu-bu, I don't want to hear, all I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your teammates, and not some...someone else."

Blake wiped a tear from her check and said "of course."

Weiss turned to Ricky "and, I'm, sorry if I was acting a bit...extensive, but you can talk to your team so they'll understand, and not be a literal 'lone wolf'."

Ricky gave a smile and nod to Weiss.

"Yeah team RWBY is back together!" Ruby called out. They all gathered in a circle.

"I'm still not quit sure how I feel about you" Weiss said pointing to Sun who gave a sheepish chuckle.

"Hey wait a minute, where's Penny? Ruby asked.

They all looked around and couldn't find her anywhere.

"Ohh, I hope she's alright" Ruby said. Ricky put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"We should probably get back to Beacon" Yang said.

They all walked back to the place where they could take a ship to the school and flew back and arrived at their dorms. Rbuy was next to Ricky as he comforted her because she worried about Penny. When they got back Ricky was about to enter his dorm when he got a message on his scroll. It was Ozpin 'report to my office immediately' Ricky gave a sigh and made his way to his office.

He got their to find him sitting at his desk looking out the window.

"So what did you find?" Ozpin asked.

"Roman Torchwick, he's the one behind these dust Robberies, and he's had help from the white fang." Ricky answered his hood was down and his ears were pointed up as he stood like a soldier in front of Ozpin's desk.

'Hmm' "interesting" Ozpin said "that will be all."

Ricky relaxed and was about to walk out when Ozpin spoke once more "Ricky, are you sure you don't want to hide those?"

"I've hid for ten years of my life...it's time I stop."

With that Ricky walked out of Ozpin's office and turned to his dorm to finally get some sleep.
