Cardin walks in the halls of Beacon while trying to find his own team of jerks, Faunus discrimination seems to be a thing for the students still. He passes by Pyrrha Nikos and some random blonde dude, he finally finds his team of jerks. In front of him is Russel Thrush, Dive Bronzewing and Sky Lark who is picking on another Faunus. Cardin grins at them and picks on the Faunus boy, he tugs his tail then throws him into the ground with the group laughing at the poor boy. While Cardin is laughing on the outside, he's pretty much kicking himself in the nuts mentally.
"So, what's your reason for hating those animals?"
"Because their freaks!" They all happily laugh together.
"Same here! Names Cardin, whats yours?"
"Russel." The mohawk boy answered
"Dove."
"Sky." The bell rings for professor Ozpin's speech. The four enter the assembly room to see numerous students in the area, one of which maybe the person who created such a horrible drug. He see's Velvet among the crowd of people, Cardin manages to loose the boys and head towards Velvet who is next to Blake. The proper undercover procedure is to talk while not making eye contact so they have to talk while looking straight.
"Find anything out on her?" He whispers.
"Nope, she left right before I could say my name. Rude much?"
"Pfft! I got the obvious crew, bunch of asses if you asks me."
"Get used to it man...Were 'teenagers' now." Velvet replied.
"Then I hate being a teenager now." Blake looks at the two and they mind their own business while Ozpin is getting up on stage. After saying his speech, the students retreat to the dining hall for some R and R. He goes to a secluded area of the school and pulls out his duffel bag, he observes his gun for a moment then puts it back in. His scroll vibrates to reveal a message from Velvet.
"I found a team :D" Cardin smiles.
"Nice." He replied, Cardin looks up at the starry sky above him. Often, he would asks Velvet a question when looking up at them and she would try to answer it in her own way. While he was the brains and the brawn, Velvet is all brains but moderate brawn aside from the fact she relies heavily on her gun a lot and usually a horrible shot with it. But still, they are on a mission and personal things like high school homework doesn't affect them at all. Cardin then dozes off as he goes into a pleasant sleep.
Velvet loads a clip into her SMG/pistol's handle, it has thirty-two rounds and can tear a part an object in five-seconds. She looks at the students around her, Velvet assumes that the orange girl named Nora is a little suspicious because of her...Personality which is attributed to drug addiction and other stuff. Her friend Ren is also another contender, always silent and maybe unpredictable. Ruby is also a little bit hyper active too...Buts she's a kid so nothing special here...
"But Cube said that teenagers are stupid...Velvet don't assume that..." She silently falls asleep.
The students enter the locker rooms as they retrieve their weapons. Cardin grabs his mace while Velvet gets her magic wand, she checks it out then turns to Cardin.
"So is it just a wand or a stick?" He asks.
"Of course its a wand! Why would they give a stick?" She replies.
"I don't know, can you do some Harry Potter stuff with it?" Velvet looks at her wand and wonders if there is any spells on it.
"Hmm...Can you stand back a little?" Velvet aims her wand at Jaune.
"Avada kedavra!" The wand shoots a green light at Jaune which he dodges, the blond buy whimpers at the shot.
"Sorry!" Velvet apologized.
"Can I have the wand please?"
"Hell no! This baby's mine for the taking!"
"But I have a sucky ass mace, what good can that do?" Cardin looks at his mace, there is nothing special about at all. It only has a dust crystal on it and a hook shot function.
"Well for starters, the mace is compensating because its big and long while the wand represents my wisdom."
"But you'll look hot when your wielding a large weapon! Just think about it...You have a pistol-SMG thing and you look pretty awesome with it." Velvet blushes at his statement and pouts.
"Well-" The speaker blares the students to ready for initiation with him shrugging, the two enter the hallway and split up to avoid suspicion from Blake as they see her. He shoulder his mace while Velvet holsters her wand, she pulls out her hacker watch and causes the speakers to play bad to the bone by George Thorogood.
On the day I was born
Cardin pushes another weak looking student who is just walking while the rest of his future team members laugh at the student.
The nurse all gathered'round
Velvet then loads a clip into her weapon as the music continues playing with the confused students so she changes it to eye of the tiger, the students bob their heads up and down as the volume increases to pump their adrenaline. Cardin reunites with Velvet again but this time he grabs her wand.
"Hey-" She realizes that he's doing the act.
"Whats this? A pixie wand? Ha, weak!" Cardin throws it to the ground and kicks it off while rest of his team walks away laughing at her, Cardin pulls out a mirror to see that Blake is helping Velvet up and grins at her. Blake seems to be another suspicious figure in Beacon, the bow may hide many secrets. Cardin then places his duffel bag in the rocket locker then places its coordinates and leaves the area as it launches away. After chatting with his future team, he lines up on the launch pads of the cliffs.
Cardin steps on a plate next to Yang, he is in the middle of Ren and Nora. Professor Ozpin tells his speech about how the Emerald forest is dangerous and stuff and a temple and if you don't make, you will die alone or with a friends while going out in a blaze of glory. Cube is right, its like Hogwarts for badasses minus Daniel Radcliff and his buddies along with ancient mumbo-jumbo business. All the way in the end is Velvet who is doing the best of acting shy and cute while he is trying to look like scumbag Steve in his early years. The pads begin to launch the students causing the undercover cops to silently panic because they never knew about the initiation. They maintain a calm expression as each student is launched one by one, Velvet is next.
She crotches and makes a set posture as the pads fling her, Cardin bends his legs and raises his hands then the pad flings him too. He see's other students flying towards the ground, Cardin aims his mace and it fires the hoot part at the tree branch. He swings from the branch and on to the ground while rolling, he looses control of his roll and he is sent rolling uncontrollably but crashes into a rock.
"Shit..." He realizes that he didn't crash into a rock but his rocket locker from earlier, Cardin opens the locker to reveal his MTS-225 shotgun. The cop pulls out his police-issued scroll so he could call Velvet.
"Velvet! You there?" He asks.
"Yeah, I'm in the treehouse-base thing."
"Where is it?"
"I'm looking at you right now." He turns around but see's no one.
"Real funny Velvet!" Suddenly a piece of dirt drops on his head and he looks up to see her on it, he removes the dirt from his head but notices a stench and sniffs it.
"I think you just dropped shit on me." Velvet's face turns mortified.
"Sorry!" Cardin grumbles and looks at the stairs leading to the base, he see's the numerous computers in the area and it reminded him of that batman movie. Screens litter the place along with bunk beds, it appears that the base was abandoned by the staff of Beacon because of unknown reasons, not even professor Ozpin knows that it exists. On the screens is the camera's stationed everywhere in every place.
"This gives us a good view of the whole forest!" Cardin awed.
"I know right? I can't believe the headmasters never destroyed this for a long time..." Velvet types more stuff on the console to update its resolution, she see's Ren fighting a king Taijitu while Ruby and Weiss appear to be arguing about something along with Jaune stuck against a tree by a large spear that caught on his hood. Yang is seen fighting an Ursa too.
"So were going use this to find the associates?"
"Or the creator, these cameras were never destroyed too." Cardin notices something on the screen...Its Yang and Blake kissing each other.
"Um...Velvet?" He gasps.
"Yes what is-Whaaaat?!" They look at the screen as the two begin to take off their clothes and start to do the sixty-nine posture, Velvet shuts the off the screen as Cardin gets a massive nosebleed.
"Okay...That was something..." She blushes.
"Something that was hot!" Cardin commented, Velvet chuckles but stops as she notices something on camera sixteen. It shows Sky giving Russel something brown and he consumes it in the process.
"Wait! Freeze that!" He commanded, Velvet nods in response and pauses the video.
"Clear it up." The video clears to 1080p and reveals that the brown object resembles HFS, Velvet pulls out her scroll and looks at the picture HFS then back to the screen.
"Is that the same thing?" He asks.
"I think so..." She looks at the map of the forest.
"There at the open area with Dove entering there!" Cardin nods.
"How about you?"
"I'll activate the bases other features, they even have cameras connected to the school..." Velvet awed.
"Does it connect to the schools showers?"
"I'll disable that." Velvet annoyingly replied.
"But deals always happen in the showers! Especially in women showers! What if Sky isn't the only dealer in the school, huh? What...What if its Blake?"
"Just go." She sighs as Cardin groans in disappointment and leaves. He runs through the forest as Velvet uploads the coordinates in his scroll, a beowulf jumps out of nowhere and slashes him in the chest. He pulls out his shotgun but it pushes it away and proceeds to raise its claws, Cardin pulls out his mace and uppercuts the beast with his mace.
"Yeah! Wasn't expecting that huh?" The beowulf growls at him then lunges, Cardin dodges the attack and swings his mace at it. He raises his mace and smashes its back then picks up his shotgun ad kills it. Cardin continues to run with shotgun in hand and checks his phone for the coordinates to the Dove, Sky and Russel. He finally reaches the open area and see the three talking to each other, Cardin takes a deep breath and walks towards them.
"Sup guys?" They turn to him with stoned expressions.
"Uh...Hows it hanging?" The group turns to each other and start giggling, in their view its a talking man with an ice cream for a head. Suddenly the ice cream head disappears to be replaced by a cartoonish cat head on the body.
"Guys?" Cardin's eyebrows slither to his mouth to form a mustache on his mouth then a beard, he worriedly laughs and turns on his phone.
"Hey Velvet, I found the guys and their on the tripping ballsack phase...Should I be worried?"
"I see what going on in the camera but I think they would be useful once their on fuck yeah motherfucker phase."
"How can they be useful when the only thing I'll be seeing is a bunch guys screaming and doing stupid stuff?"
"A lot things could happen when your high." She replied.
"The chest pieces are near you though so get them while I'll shut down the base so the staff can't notice it on the forest radar."
"What am I suppose to do with my teammate then?" He asks.
"I dunno, drag them?" Cardin sighs at her response.
"Dude?" No response.
"Dude?" Cardin pushes his teammates as they start walking funny and laughing at the same time, he rolls his eyes at the stoned students. He just wishes they would get mauled already by a Beowulf or an Ursa, the cop pushes them again but they turn to him in an angered expression. They are on the fuck yeah motherfucker phase.
"Please! Please! I beg of you!" The team rips off his arm then his legs and begin eating them with Cardin screaming like a woman but in his view, their just tearing apart the grass and eating the dirt at the same time. They start punching the imaginary Cardin with the actual one sighing, he finally gives up and pulls out his mace.
"You stupid stoners!" He whacks Russel in the head then Dove and Sky and drags them by using a makeshift sack that is made of leaves he collected, he stops as he see's the chess pieces. Cardin grabs the black bishop piece and contacts Velvet.
"I got a piece how about you, any way out?"
"Yes, the old abandoned min shaft that is connected to the cliff and wait for me there because my team is moderately close to the temple." Cardin nods and continues to drag the unconscious team. They didn't seem to be heavy to him and at the same time their probably on the sleepies phase after the shock kicks off so that will double the time. He finally reaches he mines and continues to carry on towards it, he see's a light in it to reveal Velvet and her Faunus team.
"Wow, did you kill them?" Asks the wolf Faunus.
"No I shot them." He sarcastically replied, Velvet chuckles and activates the elevator.
After the assembling of the teams, Cardin finds his dorm and his teammates leave with an acking head impact. He see's Velvet in front of it and uses his pass to open the door, the two set up the flip over bulletin board so they could connect the dots for the suspects they identified. They then place the pictures of students on it and place connecters on them. The prime suspects are Sky, Dove, and Russel while the rest is possible suspects like Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang along with Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren. Its quite obvious that Sky is a distributor of the drug and the two are consumers but the question is: Who made this?
"Alright, Nora is a little suspicious because of her attitude." Velvet observed.
"How?" Cardin asks.
"Look at her! The smile and the jitters, all of that is attributed to the effects of cocaine or heroin." The Faunus explained.
"What if she's just meds? People on meds act like that, don't be quick to assume."
"But what if-" Cardin places his hands on Velvet's shoulders.
"Velvet! Does it look like team JNPR are the type who would deal with drugs?"
"N-No..." She looks to the right.
"So drop it." She points her fingers at the window causing him to look, he see's Nora talking to Sky and walks away from him.
"Wanna ask her?" Cardin asks.
"You want me go up to her ask hey Nora, are addict? I got a plan."
Cardin heads towards the rooftops and locks the door behind him, the officer is carrying a suitcase and overlooks the Beacon plaza. He opens it to reveal sniper rifle pieces and puts them together then sets up the bipod on the ground. This is the part where you put on the metal gear solid two theme as he aims the sniper rifle to where Velvet is.
"Bishop this hopper, your in position?"
"Roger hopper."
"Shoot her if she's me, alright?"
"Hopper..."
"What is it?"
"This is the best fucking plan ever...I see you." The scope aims at a cardboard box that Nora is passing by.
