Yo Peeps, GMG with chapter 24. Broke past the review count on BCB so HUZZAH! This story is doing so well and it pleases me to know that people are enjoying it. The poll is coming along quite well and progress towards volume three is being reached.

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY...

After seeing the Goliaths, Ruby was treated with hearing Oobleck's reasons for becoming a hunter. He wasted to learn from past mistakes, use failures and mistakes from before and fix problems in the now. It was why he studied history so seriously, aside from his base adoration for the subject.

The two regrouped at the makeshift camp the other three had set up. Oobleck climbed up to the second floor, resting on a particularly sturdy piece of the floor, leaning back against a pillar. Below, the girls had a fire going, with their sleeping bags strewn around it in a circle.

Ruby glanced up at the resting form of her professor. "I'll take first watch."

Yang shrugged and flopped down on her bedroll. "You'll get no complaints from me."

"Thank you," Weiss said, settling on her own bedroll.

When Ruby looked at Blake, she saw the sour look on the Faunus' face. "Don't worry, Blake. I'll make sure Zwei leaves you alone."

Looking relieved at the reassurance, Blake too settled down, leaving Ruby to her watch. The girl found a hole in one of the walls, settling on a rock and propping Crescent Rose on her leg, using her scope to take a close look at some of the surrounding area and makes sure none of the Grimm ventured too close to their position.

"Blake, are you awake?" Yang's voice called softly.

"Yeah."

"Why do you think he asked us about being a huntress?" She rose slightly, propping herself up to look at the other girl. "What was he trying to say?"

Blake frowned. "Maybe he was just curious."

"You think?"

She shook her head. "No."

The blonde turned her head to look at her girlfriend. "Weiss, are you awake?"

"Of course," the heiress bit out. "You two are talking. And what I said about doing it for my family, isn't exactly what you would think it would be. With all that my father has done with the company, I refuse to let it be the end all be all reputation of the Schnee Dust Company."

Blake sighed. "I want so much to change the world and show that the White Fang doesn't define the Faunus. I don't know if I can undo so many year of hate, though."

Yang smiled reassuringly. "Of course you can. You're not one to back down from a challenge."

"But I am!" She retorted. "I do it all the time. When you learned I was a Faunus, I didn't know what to do, so I ran. When I realized my oldest partner had become a monster, I ran. Dust, even my semblance is me just running away, leaving a pale imitation to take the hit."

After that, they fell silent. A moment passed before Yang spoke. "Well, I think I figured out something that drives us all."

The other two blinked in surprise and looked at her. "What would that be?" Weiss asked.

Yang smiled. "The four of us. We're a team, and friends, with two pairs of lovers to boot." Grinning oafishly, she chuckled. "Even if we stumble in paving our way, we'll still have each other, yeah?" She glanced at her sister, who was still keeping watch. "At least she knows what she wants to do."

Blake nodded. "Despite her somewhat innocent world view, she's so set on being a huntress, it's no wonder Dr. Oobleck didn't ask her about it."

"She's still a kid," Weiss pointed out.

The faunus shook her head. "She's only two years younger. We're all kids."

Weiss conceded the point, but spoke again. "We've all had this romanticized view of being a huntress, but at the end of the day it's a job. A job to protect the people. Anything we want will have to come second to that."

Yang coughed into her hand. "I don't know about you, Snowflake, but you certainly wouldn't come second to me."

Blake snickered. "Smooth, Yang." Looking at the flushed face of Weiss, she settled down. "We should get some sleep. We still have a job to do."

XXXGMGXXX

After tailing a group of White Fang members and watching his master fall into a whole, Zwei had run as fast as his tiny legs could carry him, rushing back to where he remembered his other master to be. Zipping inside, he saw the blond master looking for the red one. Barking and running up to her, he whined as she greeted him.

Oobleck noticed the whine and turned to look at her girl. "Gather your weapons, your leader may be in trouble."

With Zwei leading the way, they found the hole Ruby fell through, Crescent Rose on the outskirts of the wrecked street. Weiss glanced at the large hole. It went down quite a ways from what she could see, the dark abyss of it making it hard to tell. "Do you think she fell?"

"Fell?" Questioned Oobleck running over.

Weiss pointed at the gaping hole. "Down there."

"Oh my..." Turning her started mumbling. "Of course. Of course, of course, OF COURSE!"

"What is it?!" Blake asked, concerned about the well being of her girlfriend.

"How could I be so stupid?!" He went to explain what had become of the failed Mt. Glenn settlement and the large underground grave that they now stood above. "We're not just looking for an underground crime network, we're looking for an underground crime network.

"So they're working in caves?"

"A subway system of sorts." Pulling his weapon out, he frowned. "If Ruby is down there, we must find her."

End...

So another chapter. Once the whole Mt. Glenn incident is over with, the story will go back to the more change based stuff.

To reviewer DschingisKhan: You are absolutely correct. While a review being negative of my story, YOU HAVE A VALID REASON! Huzzah for that. I realize that, yes, that is what I'm doing and I apologize for that. I do want this story to follow canon, and given how big an arc the Mt. Glenn is, it involves heavy retelling. I am trying to skim past what I can and keep what funny parts I want. Most of the changes to Canon that I will end up making pertain to Volume 3, so a little bit of patience, as Volume 2 is drawing to a close.

To Overwatch and Skyrim fans; Check out Birds Among Dragons by In The Cold I'm Standing. It's well written and I think you all will enjoy it.

ALSO, DON'T SAY ANYTHING MEAN TO DschingisKhan! Their review was entirely valid and I appreciate the honesty. As I have said before, I accept negative reviews that have a reason. The review wasn't a flame, so I accept it.

Adieu for now!
