Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(City of Vale, 2 miles off the coast, 11:20pm, Bullhead VTOL.)
Noir gently flew the Bullhead over the waves before swinging it around to land on the back of the freighter before Summer led her team behind a group of containers as 4 AK-130 Atlesian androids inspected the Beacon VTOL.
"We'll at least we're on board, what's the name of this boat anyway?" Qrow asked as Noir checked his scroll.
"The Leviathan, whole ship has AK-130s crewing and patrolling it…. Only question is this: Where's Junior?" Noir responded as Raven peaked her head over Noir's.
"I don't think he's coming, we should just return to Beacon and talk to Professor Ozpin about thi-…" She was cut off by the sound of engines as 5 Bullheads skimmed the waves of the sea as Noir looked at them in shock.
"White Fang? How do they know about this?" Noir asked as Summer looked through the scope of her weapon.
"There's another 4 Bullheads flying over, I'm looking for a good spot to shoot, you guys find cover." Summer ordered as she climbed onto a higher part of the container before swinging herself up and transforming Winter Thorn into its rifle form.
"Raven, you take one of the higher containers, Qrow, get closer." Noir said as he took out Siva Darkness and silently turned the weapon into its revolver form.
"What gives you the right to-…" Raven started to say before Qrow shushed her as two bullheads landed as Junior and a man with a bowler hat, a sliver cane and orange hair and a man with a black coat and Grimm looking mask with red markings stepped off the other.
"Junior is working with the White Fang?" Noir asked as 4 of Junior's thugs and White Fang soldiers stepped off the 2 bullheads. Noir leaned in to hear what the criminal mastermind was saying.
"You had to steal from that damn train just because it belonged to the SCD? You're lucky there wasn't more huntsmen in the area and all that came after you were those bratty teens!"
Junior hissed as his men moved to attach cables to the containers as Noir spun Siva Darkness in his hand.
"Your one to talk, Xilong. You nearly got caught by those same two teens and a single huntress, I don't see how you have run at all to speak considering how close Vale itself seems to be to taking you down."
The masked man responded as the man with the cane tapped the ground between them.
"Gentlemen, we shouldn't let mere children keep us from our goals…. Besides, we didn't entirely make a subtle entrance… We should make this quick." Noir was about to move closer when a container in front of him crashed to the ground.
Revealing him to the trio and their minions.
"Well, it seems we have a bit of a pest problem…." The man with the cane said as Junior leveled his club at Noir.
"That's the kid from the robbery! So, brat, where's your girlfriend?" Junior growled out before a shot cut through a container above them and scattered the group.
"Right here, bat-brain!" Summer yelled as she continued to fire shot after shot as Noir saw the other bullheads roar over head as over a dozen of Junior's thugs and more White Fang soldiers dropped down to the deck, led by two girls in white and red dresses and a girl with a bow and yellow eyes.
"Blake, get those dust canisters!" The man in the mask yelled as Roman turned his weapon into a rocket launcher and fired a spread of missile as Noir countered by blow each explosive up.
"Adam, get them, their backup will have to be here as well!" Junior yelled before he was knocked back by a shot from Qrow.
"We prefer the names 'partners or backup.'" Qrow joked as Adam lunged at him before Raven stopped his sword with her own.
"Your strong… But you are not stronger than me!" Raven growled out as she kicked Adam back.
"So then, you and the White Fang are having a big team up, Junior? Going from crime lord to terrorist?"
Noir asked as he kicked off the crate he was near and fired 4 shots at Junior, two of which managed to knock his weapon away as Noir landed in front of the man.
"You still yapping after I betted you across a roof, kid?"
Junior asked as he swung a punch at Noir only for the teen to flip back as he turned to see Summer firing at the White Fang and Junior's men, taking some out with non-lethal precision shots as Junior picked up his rocket launcher and turned it into a bat.
"You and your girlfriend are outnumbered and outgunned, kid, time to see reality for the hard truth of it all!"
Junior yelled as he swung his club at the gunslinger only for Noir to turn his weapon into its bladed form and parry Junior's hit, the sound carrying across the deck of the ship.
"I think the reality is you should know sneak attacks only work one, old man!" Noir said as he swung his sword at Junior.
(With Summer)
Summer continued to fire shot after shot, knocking weapons away or hitting her targets in the legs and chest.
She stopped to drop an empty magazine to the ground as she reloaded before she heard the sound of metal scrapping metal and tossed her self onto the ground as she landed to see the man with a cane behind her.
"Isn't it past your bedtime, white?" The man asked as Summer shifted her weapon into its glaive form.
"Hmm… Nah, I don't feel as tired as most of your henchmen do." Summer joked as the man pointed his cane at the girl as Sumer saw a cross grid on the other side of the weapon.
"Very funny, I'll show you what happens to people who cross Roman Torchwick, kid." Roman said as he fired.
(With Raven and Qrow.)
Raven sidestepped a downwards slash, pivoted and slashed at Adam as the man was knocked back by the force behind the blow.
Adam blocked 2 shots as Qrow fired at him before dashing and slashing at the warrior as Adam pushed him back before firing a shot from the holster of blade at them as Raven cut the bullet in half.
"You are skilled but you are weak, you will not defeat either of us."
Raven stated bluntly as the girls with the red and white outfits joined him and rushed at the Branwen twins. Adam glanced at Junior as Noir blocked another of his swings before leaping over and slashing at his feet, knocking him over.
"Blake, go help, Junior!" Adam said, more like a hiss then one of concern as he dashed at Raven as she held off the red clad girl with claws.
"I'll show you weak, human!" Raven turned and parried her and the claw wielding girl.
"Please do, I prefer a challenge."
