"Burn's log, some random year. My squad and the remains of team RWBY have made our way to Atlas and snuck into the scene of the crime after evading the guards with excellent stealth skills."

"Weiss just asked the guards to let them in after you threw chocolate at them." Grant said.

"Dude, I'm trying to do an epic log for the future. Why do you have to ruin it?" Burn asked.

"We have to take this seriously. If we don't Ruby's gonna be in jail for the rest of her life." Grant replied.

The group observed the scene before them. Blood still stained the ground, The walls were blown apart, and explosive residue littered the area.

'Looks like our doppelganger went to town here." Burn said. "Rico, run a scan. See if you can find anything abnormal."

As the A.I. scanned the area, the rest of the group looked around. The base official's cleaned up the scene for the most part. Nothing seemed to be left. Burn finished digging through a bit of scrap metal and was about to make his way back to the group when something red caught is eye. The Spartan walked over and kneeled down. He brushed aside some dirt and discovered a rose petal. The Spartan picked it up and observed it.

"Hey Yang." Burn called over to the blond brawler. "Aren't Ruby's petals aura generated, meaning that they disappear before hitting the ground?"

"Yeah, why?" Yang asked.

"I think we found our first piece of evidence." Burn said as he held up the rose petal.

"You." Weiss gestured to one of the guards. "Were there any more rose petals like this earlier?"

"Yeah, they were pretty much everywhere after the attack." He replied. "But most of them were confiscated for evidence."

"Ok, it looks like that there is some reside from rocket boosters in the air." Rico said. "Guess that whoever did this used a device of some sort to create the illusion of super speed."

"Ok, we took a look at the crime scene." Burn started. "Now lets take a look at the evidence."


A.P.D (Atlas Police Department)...

"Still can't believe that they are having kids partaking in a police investigation." Said the officer as he guided Burn Squad and RWBY through the evidence lockers.

"Are you doubting Ozpin's judgment?" Weiss asked.

"What? No." He exclaimed. "It's just kind of hard to grasp."

The man grew silent as he unlocked a locker labeled 'Red Reaper'. Once it was opened, the seven investigators noted the contents. A bag full of rose petals, a empty magazine, a intact shell casing, and a torn piece of red cloth.

"Rico, scan the shells and compare them to the ammo used for Crescent Rose." Burn said. The Spartan then grabbed the piece of cloth and handed it to Yang. "What are you're thoughts on this?" He asked.

Yang took a moment to inspect the cloth. "The shade of red is to dark." She said as she took it out of the bag and felt it with her hands. "And the material is different compared to what Ruby's cloak is made of."

"Finished the analysis of the shell." Rico said. "It's much larger than what is used for Crescent Rose, and the amount of explosive dust is greater as well."

"So, looks like our red friend isn't as good a imitation as we thought." Grant said. "Now all we need is a lead on where we could possible find our culprit."

"Already found one." Rico said. "There's a weapons shop that sells these types of rounds not that far from here."

"That's our next stop then." Blake said.


Ammu-Nation...

"HOLY GUN BONER!" Burn shouted as he saw all the weapons. There were rocket launchers, mini guns, assault rifles, chain guns, SMGs, you name it.

"Yeah, Atlas doesn't have very strict gun control laws." Weiss said. "But given how powerful the military is, no one does anything with them."

"Can I help you?" asked the man behind the counter.

'Yeah, have you had any customers buy these kinds of rounds lately?" Yang asked as Rico projected a holographic copy of the shell from earlier.

The man stared at it for a moment. "Yeah, someone did." He answered. "She sad she was visiting from Vale, wore a red hood and had blonde hair."

"Thanks for your help." Yang said. She then left with the others (practically having to drag Burn out)


Later on the airship...

"Ok, so we found out that our perpetrator is from Vale, has blonde hair, use real rose petals, has stronger bullets, uses rocket boosters or something, and that's about it." Burn said. "Any ideas?"

"Who ever did this knows who Ruby is, what her weapon is, and what her semblance is." Weiss said. "Could they be someone from Beacon, or have some really good info on her?"

"Doesn't matter now." Yang said. "They're gonna pay for framing my baby sister."

"I guess we're taking our search back to Vale now." Burn said.

"I don't care, as long as we get to stop flying constantly." Hicks said. "Its f #$ing exhausting."


Meanwhile...

"Boss, they're on to me."

"Just follow the plan, and everything will be alright."

"How long do I have to wait?"

"Not much longer. The plan is progressing faster than expected."

What should I do?"

"Just buy enough time for our pawn to be put into play."


Looks like the bad guys are up to something. Will our Reject detectives be able to help team RWBY get their leader back and stop the forces of evil?

"Stay tuned for the adventures of the Red vs. Blue knock offs."

STOP THAT!
