Two more days had passed since team RNJR's battle with the Hydra. Jaune was the first to wake up at 6 AM. He chuckled at how this must be the first time he's been the first one up. Normally, Ren beats him to it but even he could sleep in every once in awhile. Jaune stretched for a minute before reaching for Coreca Mors to take with him. The blonde knight yawned a bit as he walked to the bow of the ship. He had to admit, the view was beautiful. The sunrise really was a sight to behold. Often times, when he still had a crush on Weiss, he'd fantasize about sharing this kind of moment with her. However, now, he wished someone else was there to share the moment with him. Pyrrha. Once they arrived at port, he'd have to try and find and tell Pyrrha's parents about what happened even though he already knew their reaction. It would be the same as his when he heard that Pyrrha was gone. Shock, horror, denial, rage. All of those emotions and more running through their heads as they tried to process the news that their daughter had been brutally killed by a Fall Maiden. That was going to be...well...difficult would be an understatement.

"So...up early?" came the voice of Ruby from behind Jaune.

"Yeah. Shouldn't you still be sleeping? Wait...was it me? I woke you didn't I?" the blonde responded.

"No, no. I just," Ruby's sentence was interrupted by a small yawn, "I just woke early is all."

"Ah...right."

"You're...thinking about her aren't you?"

"Yeah...I'm thinking about her. I think...she would've loved this view and to show us around the city she grew up in. Show us the sights of Mistral, introduce us to her family, her friends from Sanctum…"

"What do you think Mistral's even like?"

"I once asked Pyrrha that too. What is Mistral like? She said that Vale reminded her of home but minus the canals. From what she said, instead of having normal roads, canals criss-cross all over the city. She even once told me that when training at Sanctum she accidentally fell in one. She still finds it funny...and so did I. It...it seems so long ago when we were sitting together in a dorm room planning training sessions and worrying about homework."

"I know. And...I know you don't blame me for it...but...I still want to say it. I'm sorry...for failing you both."

"Ruby...you don't need to apologize."

"I know but...I still feel like I should…"

"Ruby...listen. You don't need to apologize. You did what you could."

"But...I could've done more."

Jaune was trying to figure out a way to comfort Ruby more when Nora showed up.

"Morning guys!" the red-head said in a rather sing-song manner.

"Morning Nora," Ruby said back, thankful for the hammer-wielder's sudden appearance.

"Sooooooo Ren and I woke up a while ago and we-well he- figured out should be at Mistral by nine today! NINE!"

"Only three more hours? Already?"

"I know right?! We'll be there sooooooo soon! Time sure flies huh? Especially when you have to deal with a giant mutated Grimm Hydra!"

"I guess so," Jaune chuckled.

Three hours later-the last thirty minutes of which were filled to the brim with Nora constantly asking if they were there yet- the ship they were on arrived at port. Nora was the first to disembark by literally jumping off the ship and landing on the docks shouting, "Yes! 10 out of 10! Nailed it!"

"I'd give it an 8.5," Jaune said jokingly, "no back-flips in that Nora."

"Um, I'm gonna go with 9 out of 10," Ruby beamed.

"See? At least Ruby knows how to properly rate a jump!" Nora pouted, "Although I haven't heard Ren's rating."

"10 out of 10, Nora," Ren said with a light smile.

"Yes!" the red-head pumped her fist into the air as RNJ walked onto the docks.

"Next stop: Haven," Ruby said with a smile.

Team RNJR walked away from the docks and into Mistral City which was a sight to behold. Like Jaune had said on the ride over, canals criss-crossed over the entire city with boats going by. The city itself resembled Vale aside from the waterways replacing the roads. In fact, Ruby found the resemblance almost eerily similar.

After twenty minutes of walking past various shops and restaurants, Ruby overheard two very familiar voices talking to each other.

"Ok...what the ability to fly north and ONLY north?" the first voice asked.

"Ehhhhhhh, fifty-fifty I think," the second answered.

"Oh come on that's a GREAT terrible super-power!"

"I mean you can still FLY."

"Yeah but only in ONE DIRECTION! That'd be super inconvenient! Then you'd need to walk back to wherever it is you were going!"

"Sun? Neptune?" Ruby called out causing the monkey Faunus and blue-haired huntsman to turn around to face her.

"Ruby?!" Sun shouted, "Ha! It is you!"

"Nice to see you guys too," Ruby beamed, "Where are Scarlet and Sage?"

"Back at Haven. They got roped into a training exercise along with two members of Arslan's team. Reese and Nadir I think."

"Oh! Team ABRN! I remember them from the tournament!"

"Yeah that's them. So how and when did you guys get here?"

"We got here a few minutes ago and as for the how...well that's actually a bit of a long story involving an army of soldiers and Grimm, an ex-Atlas soldier, a boat, a school of Kamoah, and a mutated Hydra that could spit boiling water."

Both Sun's and Neptune's jaws hung open at that until Neptune broke the silence.

"An army? You guys found the White Fang?!" he asked.

"Well...no…," Jaune spoke up, "it uh...it wasn't the Fang. They weren't human or Faunus."

"Well...then what were they?" Sun asked.

"You...wouldn't believe us if we told you."

"Oh yeah? Try me."

Jaune and Ruby exchanged a glance as Ren and Nora watched from the background.

"We...we think they're demons."

"Demons?"

"As in...need a priest, perform an exorcism, demons?" Neptune added.

"Yes. Well...I'm not sure if they can possess people but I wouldn't rule that out as a power they have. Hell, they were somehow able to control the Grimm!"

"Ok...now I KNOW you guys are messing with us. There's no WAY to control the Grimm!"

"Nora?" Ruby asked turning to the hammer-wielder.

"Oh! Right! Photo from the base!" the red-head said as she quickly grabbed her Scroll and pulled up the recent photos. She slid her finger across the screen to show the face of one of the Fourth Legion soldiers unmasked.

"...Yeah...that's a demon. That is a demon right there. Or something REALLY close," Sun said, trying to hide his shock.

"And what's worse...they know Cinder," Jaune stated as he crossed his arms.

"Wait...that girl from the broadcast? The one who…"

"Yeah. Apparently, this army calling themselves the Fourth Legion, and Cinder used to be on the same side. Something happened, not sure what, but now they want her dead."

"And you think she's hiding in Mistral?" Neptune asked.

"No...well...not exactly. We know for a fact that we might be able to still track down Emerald and Mercury here. Cinder...she's gonna be harder to find. After all...she almost killed us back on Patch."

"Ok...you guys have GOT to tell us what happened."

"We will," Ruby began, "but first, could you take us to Haven?"

"Of course!" Sun and Neptune took the lead and led the group to Haven.

Once we get to Haven and set up there...I need to find them, Jaune thought to himself about his other goal while in Mistral as he and his friends followed the monkey Faunus and his blue-haired partner.

However on one of the rooftops above, unseen by pretty much the whole city due to her Semblance, stood a very familiar-and rather short- girl with an umbrella in her left hand and a Scroll in her right. The light click of a camera shutter could be heard followed by the tapping of buttons being pressed. The girl then pressed the send button.

The message was a picture of team RNJR following Sun and Neptune accompanied by two words.

[Guess who?]

Meanwhile on Patch, Yang and Blake have arrived at the port village of Kam'ino and bought a room at an inn. The two of them were told the entire story of what happened with Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Ren fighting against the Fourth Legion and their leader, Commander Razael.

"Rubes is growing up...man...Dad would REALLY love hearing this," Yang said as she smiled.

"I'm sure he would. Now...we need to find a way to get over to Mistral."

"Yeah. Someone's gotta have a boat to take us over there."

Little did the two realize that, much like those they were following, someone was eavesdropping on their conversation.

A few minutes later, the two hear a knock on the door of their room.

"I got it," Yang said, walking towards the door. "Hello? Helloooooooo?" the blonde said looking down the hallway only to find no-one. "Huh...must've been the wrong room," she began closing the door when she heard paper crumple on the floor. The blonde reached over and picked up the piece and read it. When she read, she smiled at the good luck but then reached the bottom and saw the signature.

"Who was it?" Blake asked as she walked up behind Yang.

Yang quickly recovered from her shock. "No one was there...but...I do have an address for someone who could take us to Mistral," Yang did hide one thing from her partner though. The signature had a slightly modified version of her uncle Qrow's emblem-being colored red and with two red v-shaped marks extending out-and a single phrase next to it: "Least I could do for you, R."

(A/N: Another week, another two chapters. This one being the shorter of the two though. Next up is Weiss' chapter. Yang and Blake are almost within reach of finding team RNJR with some unlikely help, Neo knows team RNJR's in Mistral, and Sun and Neptune show up. As for Mistral itself, I based it off of Venice because it looks like most interpretations have it to be just another city like Vale or Atlas and I wanted to give it its own unique thing. As always, read, review, and enjoy.)
