I do not own RWBY or Assassins Creed
Vale, 2:00PM
Team RWBY(J) are all in Vale right now, walking to the docks. It's the weekend and Ozpin informed the school that they're allowed to take the airship from Beacon to Vale once the first month of school is over. And that is today, where people can travel to town and do what they may if they don't have classes.
As the team walks down the street there are a lot of balloons hung up all around the city, there are also a few a few banners that people are hanging up above the roads that say "Welcome to Vale" on them. There's a festival that's going on in Vale called the "Vital Festival" in a few months. Basically it's where students come from the other Kingdoms in Remnant to whichever Kingdom the festival is being held at and they all fight in a tournament representing their own kingdom.
Weiss stares at all of the decorations in awe of the work put into it all. "The Vital Festival! Oh this is absolutely wonderful!" She says happily.
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much Weiss...It's kinda weirding me out." Ruby says.
Weiss scoffs then turns around. "How could you NOT smile? A festival dedicated to all the cultures of the world! There will be dances, parades, a tournament!" Weiss tells her. "Oh the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking."
Jacob smirks at her excitement. "I'm not entirely up for the culture part of this festival thing, I'm more in it for the tournament." He says truthfully.
Yang sighs. "You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound so boring." She says to Weiss.
Weiss turns her head. "Quiet you two." She says then turns her head back. They turn the corner and make it to the docks of Vale. Where there are multiple ships docked.
"Please remind me again again why we're spending our weekend visiting the docks of all places we could be on a Saturday afternoon?" Jacob asks.
Ruby covers her nose with her hand. "Ugh, It smells like fish." Ruby says.
"I heard that students from Vacuo will be visiting will be arriving by ship today." She tuns to face the others. "And as a representative of Beacon I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine Kingdom." She says.
Jacob crosses his arms. "Is that so..." Jacob says sarcastically.
"She wants to spy on them so she'll get an upper hand in the tournament." Blake tells him.
"That makes more sense." He says.
"You can't prove that!" Weiss protests.
Ruby looks to her right and goes wide eyed. "Woah.." She says, getting everyones attention.
They all see a dust shop down the road. The same one that Jacob, Ruby and Evie saved from that dust robbery a month ago. Only now it has police tape around the shop. The windows are shattered and the door is knocked down. The inside, all the shelves are tipped over and all the Dust has been stolen.
They all walk over to the detective in front of the shop.
"What happened here?" Ruby asks him.
"Robbery." He says with an accent. "Second dust shop to be hit this week." He turns around and walks away. "This place is turning into a jungle..." He mutters.
"That's terrible..." Yang says.
"They left all the money again." They over hear the other detective say.
"Yeah, Just don't make a lick o' sense. Who needs that much Dust?"
"I dunno. You know what I mean?"
"You thinkin the uhh..the White Fang?"
"Yeah, I'm thinkin we don't get paid enough."
Weiss crosses her arms. "Hmph, the White Fang...What an awful bunch of degenerates." She says out loud.
Blake narrows her eyes. "What's your problem?" She asks.
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." She says.
"The White Fang is highly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus." Blake tells her.
"Misguided?! They want to wipe all Humans off of the face of the planet!" She says.
"So then they're VERY misguided." Blake says. "Besides, It doesn't explain why they would rob a dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale.
"Blakes got a point." Ruby says.
"Yeah, that Roman Torchwick guy we ran into last month is still out there. It could easily be him." Jacob adds.
"That doesn't change the fact that the Whit Fang are all a bunch of scum." Weiss says. " All those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat and steal!" Blake gives Weiss death glares when she said that
"That's a tad bit of an exaggeration, Don't you think?" Jacob asks.
"HEY! STOP THAT FAUNUS!" Someone yells from the docks.
The 5 run over to see what's going on and they see a Faunus running away from two sailors. He has blonde hair and tanned skin. He has a white button up shirt only the shirt isn't buttoned up so he's just showing off his abs. He also has red bracers on as well as blue jeans on. He also has a long monkey tail.
"Thanks for the ride!" He yells before he jumps off the boat and onto the pier. He then jumps on a lamp post and hangs upside down from the post by his tail.
"You no good stowaway!" The sailor yells.
"Hey! A no good stowaway would have gotten caught. I'm a GREAT stowaway!" The Faunus tells them as he peals a banana. The two detectives from before walk up to him.
"Hey you!" One of them yells. "Get down from there this instant."
His response is throwing the detective the banana peal in his face. The detective growls at him in anger.
The Faunus rolls onto the top of the lamp post then jumps over the detectives then runs away from them. With the detectives following suit.
He climbs the stairs from the pier to the streets and runs right by RWBY(J). He quickly winks at Blake as he runs by and bumps his arm on Jacobs waist keeps on running away from the detectives.
"Well Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there is goes." Jacob says. Yang chuckles.
"Along with the money on your side." She tells him. Jacob quickly checks his side and goes wide eyed then turns to see the Faunus about to turn the corner.
"OI! COME BACK HERE YOU FILTHY DIPPER!" He yells chasing after the Faunus. The other girls run after him as well.
The Faunus just turned another corner. Jacob turns to an alleyway to try and cut him off. He sees the Faunus passing by as he's running through the alley. Sadly when he turned to the left to catch him, he runs into someone and falls to the ground. The other girls finally catch up. Jacob lifts his head up to look at the Faunus but the Faunus is already too far up ahead. He growls in annoyance.
"Fine! Keep it!" He yells.
"Uhh...Jacob?" She asks. He looks down and sees he's on top of a girl with orange hair and wearing and old fashioned blouse along with black and green long boots.
He gets off of her and stands up. Everyone looks down at her.
"Salutations!" The girl greeted. She's still on the ground with her back on the ground.
"Um... hello." Ruby said.
"Are you...Alright?" Jacob asked tilting his head.
"I'm wonderful, thank you for asking!" she exclaimed, though she was still on the floor.
The five looked at each other giving other confusing looks then quickly look back at her.
"Do you...wanna get up?" Yang asked calmly.
"Yes," she answered as she kicked her legs up, propelling her onto her feet. "My name is Penny, it's a pleasure to meet you," She introduced herself.
"Hi Penny, I'm Ruby."
"I'm Weiss."
"Blake."
"Yang."
"Are you sure you didn't bump your head?" Jacob asked, receiving a jab to the side by Blake, "Oh, I'm Jacob."
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Penny said again.
Weiss raises an eyebrow. "You already said that." She says.
"So I did." Penny says with a happy grin.
Weiss slowly nods.
"Right, well...apologies for running into you lass." Jacob says as they're beginning to walk the other direction.
"Take care friend!" Ruby says waving at her.
They walk a little bit in silence then Yang spoke. "Well she was...weird." She says.
"Now where did that Faunus riffraff run off to?" She asks out loud.
"Ah, that pricks long gone by now." Jacob says. They all immediately stop when someone out of nowhere is in their way. The girl Penny they just meet.
"What did you call me?" She asks. Her smile replaced with a curious look.
"Woah! I'm really sorry! I didn't think you heard me!" Yang says truthfully. Weiss looks back to where she was and back at her over and over, with a very surprised look on her face.'
"Not you..." She walks past the four to get in front of Ruby. "YOU." She says.
"Me? I-uh...wha-I-I-uh..." She stutters.
"You called me "friend", am I really your friend?" She asks scaring Ruby a little. She looks behind Penny and sees everyone gestering her to say no.
"Uh...Sure. Why not." She says. Everyone inwardly groans in annoyance.
Penny has a wide smile on her face. "SEN-SATIONAL!" She yells in delight with her fists in the air. "We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys! Like Jacob!" She says pointing to Jacob, who nervously laughs and wave his hand at her.
"Is this what it was like when you met me?" Ruby whispers to Weiss who's now next to her.
"No, she seems FAR more coordinated." She whispers back.
"Anyways...Penny, what are you doing in Vale?" Jacob asks.
"I'm here to fight in the tournament." She tells him.
"Wait...you're fighting in the tournament?" Weiss asks in disbelief.
"I'm combat ready!" She states giving a salute.
Weiss raises an eyebrow. "Forgive me...but you hardly look the part." Weiss says.
"Yeah, says the girl in the dress." Someone says from behind. Everyone except Penny turn around to see who it is.
It's a very muscular boy, who's more ripped than Jacob, who's about 6'8 feet. He has long black hair that goes down to shoulder length, red eyes, and a small scar on his lip. He's wearing a gray tight sleeveless muscle shirt, showing off his muscular figure, black finger-less gloves, ripped jeans, and sneakers. The boy has a battle axe strapped onto his back with leather straps around his body that all fit well onto him, probably so the axe doesn't fall off.
Yang gasps in shock and has a wide smile. She runs over to the guy, to everyones surprise except for Ruby, she jumps up and hugs him tightly.
"DAVID!" She yells. "Oh my god, you're here!"
David hugs her back. "Of course I am, it's the Vital Festival." Davis says. Yang gets off from him.
"You should have told me you would be coming here!" She tells him.
David shrugs. "Ehh, I thought It'd be a better surprise if you found out when I got to Beacon. But I saw you as I was getting off the ship and just had to tell you now." He explains.
"Ahem..." Weiss says getting the twos attention. They walk back to everyone else.
"My bad guys. Everyone, this is David Kule...My ex boyfriend." She says to everyones surprise.
'Damn, this is David? When Yang was talking about him a little, I wasn't expecting THIS. Good god he's huge!' Jacob thinks.
"Before you guys say anything, we broke up but we're still friends so don't jump to any conclusions." David tells them.
"David, this is my team, minus the orange haired girl who we just meet. Her names Penny."
Penny waves at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you!" She exclaims. David waves to her.
"And you remember my lil sis, Ruby." Yang says. "She got to skip two years of school and now she's our team leader here at Beacon."
David smirks. "Is that so...I knew you'd be doing great things Ruby." He says to her. Ruby smiles.
"It's good to see you again David!" She says. David happily nods at her.
"The girl in black is Blake Belladonna." Yang says.
Blake gives him a small smile "Nice to meet you." She says.
David nods. "To you as well." David says.
"The girl in white is Weiss Schnee." Yang says.
"A Schnee, huh? That's awfully impressive." David says.
Weiss gives him a polite curtsy.
"And finally is Jacob Frye. He's not exactly apart of our team parsay, but until he can be on a team of four, he's the extra member in our team." Yang tells him.
"Yes. Me and my twin sister were both put on four person teams since we were the odd pair this year." Jacob says.
David smirks. "Well lucky you then, me and my partner Arthur were both the odd pair in Shade. But we were put in a two person team instead of a four person team." He tells him. Jacob nods at that.
"So David, are you fighting in the tournament? Or what's going on?" Yang asks.
"Na. Me and Arthur are just here to chill out in Vale. Our headmaster said we may go to Vale to be in the Vital Festival and whatnot, we just can't participate in the tournament." David says.
"Wait a minute." Weiss cuts in walking up to him and Penny. "Does that mean you guys know the monkey-tailed...rapscallion?" She asks. Blake glares at Weiss.
"Who?" They both ask.
Weiss pulls out a poorly drawn picture that's supposed to be the Faunus. "The filthy Faunus from the boat!" She tells them.
"When did you draw that?" Jacob asks.
David takes the picture to take a better look. "Well the picture looks like crap, no offence. But yes I saw him on the ship. He's not from Shade though, I would have definitely seen someone like that around school before." David says.
"Wonderful." Jacob says sarcastically. "He stole the money I had on me." He tells him.
"Bummer." David says.
"I'm sure you'll get another chance to catch the degenerate." Weiss says.
"Why do you keep saying that?!" Blake bursts.
Weiss turns to her. "Huh?"
"Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!" Blake yells.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trashcan as a trashcan, or this lamppost as a lamppost?" Weiss says sarcastically, motioning to both the trash can and the lamppost.
"Stop it!" Blake yelled.
"Stop what? He clearly broke the law. He snuck into Vale on that boat and robbed Jacob of his money." Weiss protests.
"Actually, I'm not too mad about that honestly. He only stole the money I had on me and that was only a small bit of all I have. I still have a lot more back in our room." Jacob tells her. "I'm just mad about how he got away from me."
Weiss turns to Jacob. "It doesn't matter how much money you have left Jacob! What matters is him breaking the law!" She turns back to Weiss. "Give him time. He'll probably end up with those other Faunus in the White Fang.
Blake clenches her fists in anger and growls. "You ignorant little brat!" She yells then walks off.
Weiss is shocked of her outburst then gets mad again and walks over to her. "How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!" She yells to her.
The two begin to bicker about the White Fang. Everyone just watches them, thinking about how to get out of this situation.
"Well, me and David are gonna go catch up on things we've missed. See you guys later!" Yang says taking Davids arm and walking the other direction.
Jacob and Ruby watch them leave then turn back to the other two still arguing. Oh, boy this is gonna be a long day...
RWBY(J) dorm, 9:00PM
Somehow, Weiss and Blake managed to argue for nearly seven goddamn hours about the White Fang, and still are! Yang was hoping for them to be done by the time she got back from talking to David for a while but they weren't. Now, they're all in their room, with Jacob, Ruby and Yang listening to them.
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem." Weiss says. She's sitting on her bed.
"That IS the problem!" Blake throws back.
Weiss gets up. "You do realize that you're defending an organization that hates humanity, don't you?" She asks. "The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil." She adds.
Blake gets up. "There's no such thing as 'pure evil'! Why do you think they hate humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!" Blake shouted.
"People like me?!" Weiss asked.
"You're discriminatory!"
"I'm a victim!" She shot back. Everyone stops and all look at Weiss before she spoke once again. "Do you want to know why I despise the White Fang so much? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus?" Weiss asked, turning to look out the window. She placed her hands on the bookshelf in front of her. "It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War...as in actual bloodshed. My Grandfather's company has had a target painted across it's back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear, board members executed, an entire train car full of Dust stolen," Weiss explained. Blake looks shocked when she said that last one. "And every day, my father would come home furious...and that made for a VERY difficult childhood," her hand clenched into a fist. Ruby walks over to her.
"Weiss, I-"
"NO!" She yells, then turns back to face Blake with a furious look on her face. "Do you want to know why I despise the White Fang?! It's because they're a bunch of liars, Thieves, And murderers!" Weiss yelled
"Well maybe we're just tired of being pushed around!" Blake yelled back, her face changed into panic as Weiss back away with a shocked expression on her face.
Blake looked to see that everyone else looked at her the same expression.
"I-I-" Blake stuttered before disappearing from the room in an instant, leaving a group of shocked team members.
"Blake! Wait!" Ruby yells, running out the door to try and catch up.
Courtyard, 9:06PM
Evie is currently walking towards the statue in the middle of the courtyard of two Huntsman on top of a Beowolf, in a victory stance. She finished with training Jaune for the day and is currently relaxing a little. Evie enjoys the training sessions she has with Pyrrha and Jaune, mainly because she gets to help turn another person into a better fighter. As an Assassin, she's always enjoyed helping out other Assassins in training, And while Jaune isn't an Assassin, he still wishes to get better. And she could ask nothing more.
She hears footsteps coming from the right side of the statue, Evie turns to the right to see it's Blake who's also on her way to the statue.
Blake stops at the front of the statue and stares at the the statue. It seems she never noticed Evie as she was running. Evie sees Blake looks as if she's crying a little so Evie walks over to see what's up. What she wasn't expecting was to see Blake remove the bow from her head, and Evie stops and looks at what was under the bow.
Cat ears.
'Blake's a Faunus? Who would have known...' Evie thinks. She continues to walk to her.
Blake lowers her head and stares at the bow. She wipes the tear coming down her face.
"Blake?" Someone from to the side of her asks. She goes wide eyed then looks to see who it is, and it's Evie.
"E-E-Evie...!" She stutters. "I..." She closes her eyes then covers her ears with her hands with her head lowered and looked away from her. "You're not supposed to see this!"
Evie raises an eyebrow. "Is everything alright?" She asks walking towards her. "What happened?"
Blake calms down and sighs. "I...I told my team I'm a Faunus." She tells her quietly, taking her hands away from her head.
"And what's so bad about it?" Evie asks. "There's nothing truly wrong with being a Faunus." She says.
"W-Well...You and Jacob do have respect for the Faunus, that's true. The way Jacob defended that girl." Blake says. "But that's not all I said to them..."
Evie raises an eyebrow. "What else did you say?" She wonders.
Blake looks around and sees that nobodies around. "Weiss was going on about how all the White Fang are pure evil...And out of rage, I...Iaccidentally mentioned that I was once a part of the White Fang." She admits.
Evie is shocked about what she says. She only knows a little bit about the White Fang, that they are an organization of Faunus who want equal rights for all Faunus and to be respected by all Humans. And anybody who apposes dies pretty much. Weather they be Human, or Faunus.
But you take one look at Blake and you would never see someone like her was ever with them before. Even if she had her ears exposed.
"After that I ran from our dorm...I panicked and I was too afraid of what do do so I ran." Blake says.
Evie had to go through something a little similar like this before. Back on Earth there was a 13 year old kid who was a Templar. When he found out who the Templars really were, he ran away from them. Luckily Evie found him before anyone else and he saw the sadness in his eyes and the guilty look he had. Evie could easily have left him, or at least interrogate him on what little he knows, but when he started to explain himself, Evie couldn't bare to see him like that and decided to help him out as best she could, and a few weeks later he sided with the Assassins,thanks to Evies help.
Evie puts a hand on her shoulder. "Why don't you come with me? You should get out of Beacon for the night and tomorrow you can explain it all to me if you want."
Blake is hesitant at first but then nods.
They proceed to walk to the airship to stay in Vale for the night.
[Tomorrow] Cafe in downtown Vale, 11:30AM
After a nights rest in a cheap motel in Vale and some breakfast, Blake and Evie are both now at a Cafe sitting at an outdoor table. They're the only ones there at this hour.
Since they woke up, Evie waited for Blake to tell her story. She doesn't want to rush this and wants her to move at her pace. Either that, or push her to telling her. Then she'll most likely not get anything out of her.
Blake takes a sip of tea then looks at Evie. "So...What do you want to know of me?" Blake asks her.
"I would like to know what's with the bow covering your ears." Someone says coming from behind Blake, she turns around to see that it's the same guy from yesterday who stole Jacobs money. She gives him a small smile while Evie gives him a weird look.
"And who are you?" She asks.
Blake turns around to face her. "Relax Evie. I'm pretty sure I know what it is he's here for." Blake says.
the guy smirks and takes a seat between Evie and Blake. "You might be right. Names Sun." Sun says extending his hand out to Blake. She takes his hand and shakes it. He does the same with Evie.
"Blake Belladonna."
"Evie Frye."
"Well now it's nice meeting you both." He says. He takes a sip of his own tea while using his tail to hold the cup.
"Yes. It's nice to meet you at a cafe, and not while you're being chased by police." Blake says. Evie gives her a confused look. "It's a long story. Speaking of which..." She turns to Sun. "Now that you're here and not near my friend who's money you stole yesterday, I suggest you give me the money you took, now." Blake says.
Sun hands her the Lien. He laughs nervously. "Yeah my bad, when I bumped into that guy with the tophat I accidentally grabbed his money. I couldn't exactly give it back since I was being chased, but I figured you guys go to Beacon so I was planning on giving it back to him there." He explains.
Evie raises an eyebrow. "Blake what's he talking about?" She turns to him. "Did you rob my brother?" She asks.
Sun goes wide eyed. "Woah! You're his sister?" He asks back.
Blake puts a hand on hers. "Why don't you let him explain a little?" She asks.
Evie nods at that and leans back in her chair, waiting to hear what this guy has to say.
In another part of Vale
Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Jacob are all walking down the street, trying to find Blake. After what she said last night, she hasn't come back to the dorm. So they decide to try and look for her.
"Blaaaaaake! Where are yooouuuu?!" Ruby yells.
"Blaaake" Yang yells.
"We just want to talk!" Jacob yells.
"Come on out Blake!" Weiss yells.
Ruby turns to Weiss. "Weiss, you're not helping." Ruby says.
"You know who can help? The police!" Weiss shoots back. Jacob is beginning to get pissed at Weiss. Since the ride to Vale she wouldn't shut up about how Blake is a White Fang and how we shouldn't trust her and yadayadayada. Blake's her teammate for fucks sake!
"Ugh, Weiss..." Ruby says in frustration.
"What? It was just an idea." Weiss says.
"Yeah, a bad one." Ruby mutters.
"Weiss, I think we should hear her side before we jump to conclusions." Yang says.
"I think that when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right." Weiss says back.
Ok now she really kicked Jacob off. Jacob screams in anger then turns around to face Weiss.
"Will you quit it already?!" He yells. Everyones shocked over Jacobs sudden outburst.
"Exuces me-"
"You have spent the ENTIRE time since this morning going off on how Blakes some evil person just because of the small thing she said!" He interrupts her. "We get it! You hate all the Faunus in the world!"
Weiss scowls. "How dare you say such a thing!" She says back getting in his face.
"Really? what about that day in the mess hall when Velvet was getting bullied? You said if I wanted to get in trouble over a FAUNUS then let me be!" He shoots at her. "Or how about yesterday? When you assumed all Faunus only know how to lie, cheat and steal!" He shoots at her again. "OR, how about right now? When you basically just said you won't even give Blake a bloody CHANCE to explain herself to us! Huh?" He asks her.
Weiss pokes his chest. "Listen Jacob! My family along with the family business have been tormented by the White Fang since I was a little girl! You would NEVER understand what kind of pressure that puts on my father! And you will NEVER understand what it's like to have your childhood ruined because of the White Fang!" She yells.
Jacob puts his hands up. "Your right...I wouldn't understand how my father would handle the situation regarding the White Fang, because he was MURDERED!" He yells back.
Weisses face quickly changes to shock along with Ruby and Yangs face. Weiss takes a step back.
"Maybe not by the White Fang...but by a group of people who wish to control the world. And my fathers life was taken because of it!" He yells. As usual, he's not lying but...not saying anything else then that. Jacob puts his tophat away in his coat and pulls his hood up.
"Jacob I...I-" Weiss starts but Jacob cuts her off.
"Now I am sorry about what the White Fang has done to you, I truly am...But don't you DARE act as if you are the only one in the entire world who has problems regarding the White Fang! And don't you DARE blame an entire race for what only a few who are apart of that race has done to you!" Jacob tells her then walks away.
"Jacob! Wai-" Ruby tries to say.
"Just leave me be right now." He tells them.
Ruby just sighs then walks back to the remaining members of RWBY(J). Ruby looks at Weiss who's looking at the ground and still has a shocked look
"I...I had no Idea..." She says.
Ruby just sighs. "Lets just focus on finding Blake."
"Hey guys!" Penny yells from out of nowhere. Everyone gets freaked out and turns around to face her.
"AHH! Penny where did you come from?!" She asks.
"What are you guys up to?" She asks them.
"We're looking for our friend, Blake." Yang says.
"Ohhhh! You mean the Faunus girl!" She says.
Everyone looks at her with a confused look. "How did you know that?" Ruby asks.
"The cat ears." She replies pointing at her own head.
"What cat ears? She wears a...bow..." Yang realizes what's under the bow as she's talking. There's a few seconds of silence from the sudden realization.
"She does like tuna a lot..." She whispers to them.
Back with Evie, Blake and Sun
Sun spent the last few minutes explaining himself to the girls. Sun isn't some Faunus stowaway trying to sneak into the kingdom, he's a student from Haven Academy in Mistral. He just wanted to get here early since Mistral students don't get here for a few weeks. Sun also admitted to them that he does steal stuff, but never any major thefts. Just like he said before, he didn't even mean to steal Jacobs money like that. The fact that he just gave back the money with no hesitation proves that he's no bad guy.
All the more that Blake can just rub it in Weisses face.
"Hey Blake, I never asked. What was with you and that white haired girl yesterday? I overheard a little bit of your argument while I was walking around Vale. Something about the White Fang or whatever."
Speaking of which, Blake never told her story to Evie. But since their newly found friend Sun is here...
'screw it.' She thinks. She sighs then looks at Sun. "Sun...are you familiar with the white Fang?" She asks.
"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps who use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks if you ask me." Sun says then takes a sip of his tea.
Blake kept a strait face as he said all that and still is now. "I was once a member of them." She says.
Sun goes wide eyed as he's drinking his tea. He chokes on the tea and coughs soon afterwards. "W-Wait a minute, YOU were a member of the White Fang?!" Sun asks her.
"That's right. I was a member for most of my life actually. You could say that I was...born into it." She says.
Evie places the cup on the table. "I'm just wondering, but how exactly was the White Fang formed? From what little I know of them, they were once a peaceful organization, correct?" She asks her.
Blake nods. "You're right to think that." She says. "Back then things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humans still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice for our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I actually thought we were making a difference..But I was just a youthful optimist." She tells them.
"So what changed? Why are the White Fang known as a terrorist group now?" Evie asks.
"Five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new leader took his place. Adam Taurus. He had a new way of thinking. Suddenly our peaceful protests were being placed with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops and restaurants who refused to serve us. Hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part of all of it was that it was working. We were being treated like equals. Though not out of respect...out of fear." Blake tells them. She places her cup on the table. Sun and Evie both had slightly shocked expressions on their faces when she explained the White Fang. "And so I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. And instead, I would dedicate myself to becoming a Huntress. So here I am now...A criminal hiding in plain view. All with the help, of a little black bow." After she says that, the cat ears under her bow move around, making the bow move around with them.
Evie put a hand on her shoulder. "I can see that you're not a bad person at all Blake, that's why you left." She says. Blake nods at that. "But I must ask, have you...ever killed someone while you were with them?" She asks in concern.
Blake looks away for a minute then frowns as she looks back. "I..." She sighs. "I only killed a few people while with them." She admits then looks down. "I know you guys think of me as a...monster...But it was either out of self defense or the person I killed was a very evil person who's a threat to the rest of the world." She says.
There was a few seconds of silence between the three. Sun frowned at when she said that while Evie kept a blank face until she broke the silence. "It's alright Blake. You did what you thought was right at first and I understand that." Evie says putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Blake smiles at her. "Thanks Evie...That helped a lot." She says.
She takes her hand away. "Although, I would advise that you do not mention any of that to the others. Especially Weiss." She tells her. Blake nods at that.
In a building rooftop in Vale, 11:56AM
Jacob is crouched on the ledge of a rooftop overlooking the Dust shop that's still under investigation.
"Everybody thinks that the White Fang are responsible for these robberies. It seems people have forgotten that there is a criminal mastermind still out in Vale." He says to himself. "If I'm going to find out who is truly responsible for these attacks, I'll have to do some investigating of my own." He looks down at the two detectives from yesterday on the ground. One begins to walk up to the other one at the front of the store and talk about something.
He focuses his skills on them to listen in on the conversation. Hopefully it'll be something good.
His vision zooms over to the two detectives.
"Hey, imma get something to eat at the food stand a few blocks away." the spikey haired detective tells his partner.
"Alright then. Make sure you got your shield on you. Any detective who has it on them seems to get special privileges in this city it seems." The bearded detective says.
The spikey haired guy chuckles slightly. "I'll keep that in mind. Be right back." He says then walks away down the street.
Jacob gets up from his crouch position and looks at the detective walking off and smirks. "I'm sure I can do a little better job investigating then these guys. All I need is that shield." He says to himself then starts free-running over the buildings while following the detective.
In front of the detective is a large crowd of people a few dozen feet away, standing around the sidewalk. He'll have to walk through the crowd to get by. A perfect opportunity to steal the shield.
(AN: Those of you who don't know, the "shield" I'm referring to so far and as the story goes on is a badge that detectives have on them at all times. Just so you know)
He goes down to the ground, grabbing onto parts of the building he can get a grip on as he falls down so that he can hit the ground safely. The crowd of people is currently between Jacob and the detective at this point. Jacob crosses the street quickly then takes his hood off so he doesn't look so suspicious then walks in the middle of the crowd slowly waiting for the detective to pass by Jacob.
Jacob "accidentally" bumps into the detective as they're both walking the other directions.
"Oh! A thousand pardons sir." Jacob apologies then keeps waking through the crowd. Now, he has the detectives shield that he quickly pickpocked from his belt, now in Jacobs hand.
Jacob attaches it to his belt inside of his coat then runs off to the shop. He would be able to pose as an adult with his looks ans such, so that shouldn't be a problem.
'I'll be sure to give the shield back once I'm finished.' He thinks.
He stops walking then begins to walk his way to the detective who's at the front of the shop.
"Evening lad." he says to the detective. The guy looks at him.
"Who're you?" He asks.
He moves his coat out of the way to reveal the shield. "Names..." He takes a super quick second to think of an original name, and not his own name. "Sgt. Fredrick Abberline good sir." Well...maybe not THE most original name ever.
"Hm...never heard of you before." He says.
"That would be because I'm a private detective from Mistral. I want to try and help you out in the numerous robberies that's happened so far." Jacob says.
The detective nods at that. "Well, your flashy outfit says Mistral all over it no doubt..." He mutters as he looks at him. "I'm sure you'll be able to help out a little. I'm detective Burns." Burns says. "My partner, detective Heyman, left a few minute ago to get something to eat."
Jacob nods. "Might I have a look around the shop for anything suspicious?" He asks. Burns leads him to the inside of the shop that still looks trashed since before.
"Here it is." He says. "What we have so far is that whoever robbed the place left all the money but instead stole all the dust this place had. Just like every other Dust shop in this town." He says.
Jacob nods. "Thank you lad. I'll be fine from here." he says. Burns nods then walks back outside.
"Alright...Time to look for any clues." He says to himself.
A few minutes later.
Well, that was completely useless! There wasn't a single thing Jacob could find that had any leads on who's responsible for the robberies.
He walks out of the shop.
"What'd you find?" Burns asks.
"Nothing what so ever. Whoever robbed the Dust shop knows how to cover their tracks very well." Jacob says.
Burns groans in annoyance. "Great, we're nowhere close to finding out who's robbing Dust." He says.
"Not entirely true." Jacob mentions. "There are two possible hits as to who the criminals are. It would be either the White Fang, or Roman Tortchwick." He says.
"Yeah I been thinkin the White Fang. One, because they've been stealing Dust for months now. And two, because there hasn't been a single thing heard from Tortchwick in a while now." Burns tells him.
Jacob holds his chin with his hand thinking. "Hmm...Even though we don't have a true lead on anyone, you may be onto something there." Jacob admits.
Burns shakes Jacobs hand. "Well either way, thanks for helping out anyways, Abberline." Burns says.
Jacob nods. "And thank you for having me." He says. Burns walks away then Jacob takes the shield off of his belt then puts it on the ground right in front of the broken door of the shop. Heyman will eventually find it when he gets back.
Jacob sighs. 'There has to be SOMETHING that can point out who's doing this.' Jacob thinks. As he looks around, he looks at some wolf Faunus guy staring at Jacob. When the Faunus saw that he was looking at him, he quickly turned around and speed walked past the crowd to get out of the area. Jacob raises an eyebrow. 'Hello...Now what do we have here...?' He starts to follow the Faunus. Somethings up with that guy, and Jacob is curious to find out what it may be.
