Hey people

Huge apologies for posting this soooo late! I've been busy with final tests at school then for the last 3 weeks, drivers ed.

Thank you to everyone who still follows this story and to all in the future who will. I promise I'm not quitting this story, but I can't promise when chapters will come out.

That being said enjoy the chapter.


Juno's Realm

Jacob and Evie both woke up, once again in the white place they've been sent to before.

"Great. I guess Juno knows about RWBY..." Evie says as they both get up.

"I'll talk to her." Jacob gets up from the floor. "Juno! I assume you know about the new change of plans with us and RWBY." He says. "I also assume you know I tried, and failed, to get them to listen to reason."

Juno's blue pixelated head appears.

"I do indeed know about it." She says. Evie walks over to Jacobs side.

"I was wondering if you knew what would be the best solution to this problem. We can't just let them get hurt or let them find out about us, but at the same time, we need to find that map." Jacob explains.

"Well then, what is their plan?" Juno asks.

"Everyone else is still planning where to look for any information, but Blake mentioned to us she's going to sneak into the same meeting we're going to next week." Evie tells her. "What should we do?"

"Do you not see what you need to do? One of you need to search for a White Fang soldier who knows of the location of the map, while the other one stays behind and watches over Blake from afar." Juno tells them.

"Oh..." Jacob says, realizing how easy this solution is. "...Right...Didn't think of that."

"I can see." Juno simply says. "Now before I send you two back into Remnant, I need to ask." She says. "What is it you plan on doing with the Piece of Eden once you acquire it?" She asks.

Jacob and Evie look at each other then back at Juno. "We're not sure yet. We didn't think that far into it yet." Evie says.

"Only curious." Juno says. "You may return to Remnant now." Juno disappears and two portals show up out of nowhere. One showing Jacobs room, the other Evies.

"Well, that was easier than expected." Jacob says.

"Indeed. Now we go over the plan to Professor Ozpin." Evie says.

They both walk through the portals to both of there rooms.


Ozpins office - 12:13PM (9 days until the meeting)

Jacob and Evie walk up to Ozpins desk, next to him are Glynda and Ecward.

"Hello Jacob, Evie. Now that you two are here, we can begin the discussion-"

"Actually Ozzy." Jacob interrupts. "I'm afraid we'll need a change of plans." Jacob said.

"Why's that?" Ozpin asked.

"It seems that Blake has convinced the rest of my team to go and attempt to briing down the White Fang here themselves." He tells them.

Glynda groaned in annoyance and so did Edward.

"Damn..." Ozpin said. "I was expecting her to do something like this later in the year." He admitted.

"Wait, You KNEW she was planning this?!" Evie asked.

"Well, i wouldn't say i 'knew', but i had a feeling she was going to do something." Ozpin said. "I know she's a Faunus, and I know of her affiliation with the White Fang and how she wants them stopped."

"Well she's planning to go in and infiltrate the meeting next Wednesday." Evie added. "But we've made a plan that'll keep her safe as well as get our own information."

"I'll be meeting the Swarm this weekend to discus getting me a disguise. While Evie's working on her infiltration through the vent up here, I'll walk in with Blake and stay by her side the whole time...Simple." Jacob said.

"Are you sure that's safe? I could just give those 4 detention for something...knowing them, I'm sure theres something." Glynda said.

"Don't bother. They'll just skip it anyways." Jacob said.

"As long as you keep her safe, I approve of this plan." Ozpin said.

"That's great! We'll see you later." Jacob said before turning around.

"One last thing Professor." Evie said, Jacob turned back around to hear this. "How come General Ironwood isn't here?" She asked.

"Well Evie, he was busy handling his troops in Vale, so we did the meeting without him." Ozpin said.

"That and we all hate him." Edward added.

"You can go now you two." Ozpin said then turned to Edward. The twins could hear the two arguing as they were entering the elevator.

"Boy...Doctor Peaches does not like him." Evie said.

"Agreed..." Jacob said and leaned on the wall. He didn't want to go back on the promise he made with Edward, but he also didn't want to start a whole feud over a single piece of paper.


[2 days later] Downtown Vale - 4:38PM (7 days until meeting)

Classes had just ended and Jacob was with Coco getting the outfit she promised. Luckily, a store sold something Jacob was looking for, so that made it easier on him.

"Thank you again for this, Coco." Jacob said.

"It's my pleasure." Coco went to the front desk. "Hey girl!" She said to the clerk. they both hugged.

"Coco! Good to see you." She said back. She looked at me and whistled. "Is this your boyfriend? He's cute." She whispered.

Coco laughed. "No, he's just a friend. I owed him a...favor." Coco said and smirked. "Lilly, this it Jacob."

"Nice to meet you Jacob." Lilly said.

Jacob placed his hand on his chest. "The pleasures all mine." He said.

"So Lilly, i called ahead and asked for that white suit you have?" Coco asked.

Lilly nodded. "Oh that, its in the back. Follow me." They both followed Lilly. "I gotta say, it was a bit odd when you called and asked for it. But now that this guy Jacob is with you, I get it now." She said and laughed at the end. "It's a bit old fashioned don't you think?"

"I like old fashioned." Jacob said smirking.

"You should see his weapons. He had one of those fancy looking machetes for a month, then it broke. Now he uses a pair of brass knuckles to fight with." Coco said.

Lilly giggled. "My my...that really is old fashioned." She said then opened a door. "Here it is." She pointed to the outfit hanging on the hook. It was weird to Jacob how Remnant had an exact version of the Outdoorsman outfit he has back at London, not that he'll question it though .

"I'll take it." Jacob said.

"Alright, just come back to the table and i'll ring you up." She said. Jacob took the clothes and walked to Lilly.


[3 days later] RWBY(J) dorm - 12:12PM (4 days until the meeting)

It was the weekend and only a few more days till the teams plan against the White Fang. Ruby and Weiss were walking around together, and Blake was in the library. Jacob and Yang both were still in bed, having fun together.

Jacob was under the sheets, licking Yangs Pussy. "Yes...harder...harder...Ahh!" She moaned and came in Jacobs mouth. Jacob drank up as much as he could and cleaned his face when he was done. Yang was panting and out of breath, she lied her head down on the pillow.

Jacob came up from the sheets and lied next to her. "That was fun" He said.

"Yeah...it was." She gave Jacob a kiss on the cheek.

"So...what are you planning on doing for the whole White Fang assault?" He asked.

"I know a guy who owns a club in Vale, he normally knows everything that happens in Vale. He should give me some information." She said smirking. "What about you?"

"I'm going to help Blake at that meeting she's going in." He said.

"Cool." She sighed happily and cuddled up to Jacob. "You know, I don't think i say this often but...I'm glad I meet a cool guy like yourself." She said.

"What about David?" Jacob teased.

Yang rolled her eyes and nudged Jacob. "Way to kill the moment." She said.

Jacob chuckled. "I'm going to get us some food." He said.

"Awe...can't we just stay in bed all day?" Yang whined.

"That does sound fun...but i have to leave for Vale in a few hours." Jacob said.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm hanging out with David." Jacob said. Davids taking him to see the Swarm in Vale today, but Yang doesn't know.

"Jeez, you two became like best buddies in a short time." Yang said smirking.

Jacob shrugged. "He's a cool guy to hang out with. What can i say?"

Yang laughed and put her head on his shoulder.


Beacon courtyard - 3:30PM

Jacob saw David by the fountain talking to two other students wearing Haven black and white school uniforms. There was a girl, with dark skin, green hair and red eyes, and a guy with grey hair and grey eyes.

"Oi David." Jacob said and walked up to the three.

David turned around and smiled. "Hey there Jacob." He said.

"Who are these two?" I asked.

"I'm Emerald, and this is my partner, Mercury." Emerald said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you Jacob."

Jacob smiled and nodded. David put a hand on his shoulder. "Jacob and I were just headed out to Vale now."

"Alright. It was nice meeting you two!" Emerald said and waved to us as we left.

Jacob looked back at the two then at David. "Who're they?"

"Just some new friends I made." David said and smirked. "I have more friends other than you and Arthur." He joked.

"Speaking of which, where is he?" He asked.

"He's getting high in our room right now...should be passed out by the time we get back." David said and laughed.

Jacob laughed as well. They walked in the airship and talked a little bit as the airship took off.

"Do you really think the Swarm will just let me in?" He asked.

"Oh they will. You got me with you." He said back. "Before I left Vale for Shade academy, I was involved in the Vale branch of the Swarm, where I grew a pretty good reputation." David said.

"Did you...kill people?" Jacob asked curiously.

"Yeah...but not until while after I joined. No, I was the youngest member of the Swarm. Joined when I was only 10." He said.

"What did you do as a member?"

"It was really just work I did in the summer. I would get some things to bring into parts of Patch, then bring the money I get back to the boss in Vale. He'd give me a cut of the money and i repeat the same thing every summer." David said.

Jacob nodded. He knows what that's like since he himself had kids do that for the Rooks.

"And by the time I turned 16, my skills in Huntsman fighting have gotten much better in Signal Academy. I along with a few other guys were chosen by the leader off the Swarm to go to a bandit village who was giving the Swarm problems. It turned into a massacre very quickly and we both fought. I managed to save the Swarm leader before he could get killed and we eventually took down the village. The leader said he was grateful to have me on his side, and I got respected by the entire gang after that." He said.

"Very impressive David." Jacob said.

The airship landed and the two walked down the road.


Downtown Vale - 4:00PM

Jacob and David walked into a bar called "The Soaring Dragon".

"Why are we at a bar?" Jacob asked.

"You'll see..." David walked up to the bartender up in the front, he was facing away from the two. When he turned around and saw David he smirked. The guy had a scarred eye and one good eye.

"David Kule has returned from Vacuo after just a few months..." The bartender teased. "Finally given up on the Huntsmen crap and join the Swarm kid?"

"Someday Michel, but not yet. I'm just back at home for the festival." David said. "I moved to the Vacuo branch when I left Vale, but couldn't not stop by and say hello to my old crew."

Mitchel scoffed. "Yeah right. You probably need something." He said.

"Close but no." He pointed to Jacob. "This is Jacob Frye. He needs something that the Swarm can provide...And don't worry, he's with me." He said.

Mitchel rolled his eyes. "Fine, go on in and see Simon. You know where to go." He said pointing to the door behind him. David nodded and walked over to the door. Jacob was about to go in as well but Mitchel grabbed his arm. "Make no mistake kid. If it was any other member trying to bring a non member in the hideout, I'd shoot you AND the Swarm member. But you got lucky with David." He said then let go.

"I'll keep that in mind." Jacob said then walked in the door.

David moved a loose floor tile and pushed a button hidden under the floor. The wall in the back moved and opened a hidden elevator.

"Secret passage way. Nice touch." Jacob said.

The two walked inside the elevator. "Don't worry. Mitchel will hide the elevator once it closes." David said and pushed a button. The doors closed and the elevator descended down.

The elevator eventually stopped and opened. "Woah...where are we?" Jacob asked walking out the elevator.

"These were catacombs the Faunus made to hide from humans in the Human Faunus War. When the war ended, most of the catacombs were blocked off from people entering, and the rest was turned into a history exhibit. The Swarm got hold of all the secret entrenches into the blocked off area and made this place their base of operations in Vale." David explained.

Jacob took a look around from the balcony he was on. The place was lit up nicely with lights and the structure of the place is still good. The Swarm know how to keep a place nice. There were some flags hanging on the wall of the Swarm logo which was two revolvers crossed together. They walked down the stairs and a few of the people wearing green unifoms looked at the two.

"Hey it's David!" One of the guys said. A few people walked up to them to talk to David.

"I'm not here to stay guys. I just need to see Simon." he said.

"Wait here, I'll get him." The guys said and walked away to another part of the tunnels.

"So what's this Simon guy like?" Jacob asked as the two walked away to sit down.

"Well he's a nice guy. Just as long as you don't do anything to piss him off, you'll be fine." David said.

A man in a light brown dress shirt and black jeans walked over to the two. He had a big mustache and was balding. He was around in his 40s and was about the same height as Jacob

"Hey there Simon." David said and stood up.

"David...It's been months since I last saw you." He said and hugged him. "Hows Vacuo treatin ya?"

"I've been more comfortable." He joked. "Sorry I couldn't stop by sooner while I was in Vale. You know, school and all that." He said

Simon laughed. "Don't worry about it, I'm just glad you showed up." He said then looked at Jacob. "And who's this?"

"This is Jacob Frye. Jacob, meet Simon."

Jacob shook the guys hand. "Pleasures all mine."

Simon nodded. "Welcome to the Swarm Jacob. We structure order in the economy, and make sure that no businesses try to overpower the others by keeping them all in line. That make sense?" He asked.

"I understand." Jacob said. "You're the Swarm leader, yes?"

Simon chuckled. "No. The leader of the whole Swarm deals business outside of the Kingdoms, with villages. His lieutenants are the ones who commands the gang in the Kingdoms. And I'm the lieutenant who commands Vale." He said.

"Right." Jacob said.

"So why are you two here?" He asked.

"Why don't we talk in your office?" David asked.

Simon nodded and walked them to his office in another room. "You boys want some gin?" Simon asked as he sat at his desk.

"No thanks" They both said and sat down as well.

"Suit yourself." He took out a bottle and a glass and poured some in a glass. "So what can I do for you?"

"You still have that Faunus attachment thing?" David asked. Simin nodded. "Well, my friend here needs it to sneak into that Whit Fang meeting." He said.

Simon snorted and laughed at that then looked at David. "You're serious?" He asked and looked at Jacob. "The hell would you need to get in there for? Nothing but a bunch of crazy Faunus people in there." He said.

"I have to go in and find information on something." He said.

"Information?" He took a sip of gin. "You wanna tell me what this 'information' is?" He asked.

Jacob hesitated to speak at first. "I'd...rather not say." He said.

Simon smirked and put his glass on the table. "My mistake, I guess I made that sound like a question..." He said. "You wanna tell me what this 'information is...PERIOD." He said.

'I can't just say what I'm after without sounding crazy, but I don't think lying is any better...' He thought. "I guess to put it in clear terms...I'm after a weapon that has the power to control minds and destroy them at the same time."

Simon raised a brow and took a bigger sip. "Control minds and destroy them? Now what the hell are you..." Simons eyes widen and a few seconds later he started laughing. "No way...You're looking for Gods Relic!" He said and laughed harder.

David looked confused and looked at Jacob. "You're one of the idiots who believes that crap?"

"What?" Jacob asked them. "What's God's Relic?"

"That's right, they're always making a new name for that story." Simon said calming down a little. "The supposed weapon of mass destruction that you can hold in your hand?"

"Yes...that's it." He said. 'That's the Piece of Eden alright' he thought.

Simon laughed. "Oh god..There's no such thing!" He said.

"How do you know?" Jacob asked.

"It's a shitty myth that nobody has any proof of existing. There have been a few dozen people who went to search for said relic, and they all got killed by Grimm." Simon said. "What exactly makes you think you're gonna find any sort of leads from the White Fang anyway?"

"I have a hunch that they might know a little bit about it." Jacob said.

Simon shrugged. "Yeah, sorry kid...but the Swarm aren't gonna waste our product on a fairy tale." He said.

Jacob groaned. "Come on. I'll pay double." He said.

"Nope. Sorry Jacob, but with the White Fang moving into Vale, our leader doesn't want us using our products without a good reason to" He said. "David, can you escort him outta here?" Simon asked.

David nodded. "Come on Jacob." He said. Jacob sighed and got up. He walked outside the office with David and closed the door.

"Oh one more thing Jacob." Simon said before he was about to walk out. "I know I might not be your most favorite person in the world right now, but I trust that you'll keep the Swarm hideout a secret? It won't be pretty for either of us if you snitch on us if you know what I mean..." He said with a sadistic grin.

Jacob nodded. "Yeah...You have my word." He said then closed the door behind him

"You know, half of me is being nice and saying 'sorry Jacob, I tried but it didn't work in the end' and the other half is being the smart one saying 'you could have mentioned you're on a fucking treasure hunt'." David said as they walked.

"Sorry David. But I didn't think telling people would be the best thing at the time." Jacob said.

"It's fine. Just next time, tell me everything and don't leave the important stuff out." He said.

"So now what?" Jacob asked.

David shrugged. "Now we go back to Beacon." He said then stopped in front of a door. "Just a second actually. While I'm here I might as well call my boss back in Vacuo, see if he needs anything from me." He said and walked in a room. "It's been a while since I talked to the man."

Jacob walked in as well. "You never called him on your scroll?" Jacob asked.

"Too risky. The Swarm use specially made phones to keep the feds from listening in on our conversations." He said and dialed the number on the phone.

Jacob took a look around the room while David was on the phone. He noticed on the table a few papers with names and pictures of people. They all had "KILL" written in red marker on the pictures.

"Alright. See you after the festival." David said then hung up. He looked at Jacob and saw he was looking at the table so he walked over to him.

"What are these?" Jacob asked.

"These are lists of people in Vale who pissed the Swarm off." David explained. "These guys either owe the Swarm a lot of money, or someone is planning to rat out the Swarm hideouts, that kind of stuff...hmmm..." David took a look at one of the pictures of a Faunus. "Maybe...there is a way for you to get in that meeting." He said.

"What do you have in mind?" Jacob asked.

"This guy, Aiden McTann." He pointed to the man. "He's a White Fang member who's threatening to expose us if we don't give him half of what we own in Vale." David said.

"So that's why the Swarm are staying low in Vale." Jacob said.

"Exactly...now it says here that he'll be attending the meeting on Wednesday. You can use this as a way to get in the meeting." He said. "Just go back to Simon with this plan and you'll have a much better chance he'll hook you up."

Jacob thioght about and looked at the name. 'That name...it sounds familiar...' Jacob finally put it together. 'The list of high ranging soldiers! Aiden McTann is one of the men on the list!' Jacob took the file. "Thanks David. You're a hero." He said and walked out of the room.

David stayed back and smirked. "No such things as heros..." He said.

Jacob knocked on Simons door. "Yeah!" He yelled from the other side. Jacob walked in and closed the door. "The hell are you doing here kid?"

"I have a new idea that I know you'll like." Jacob said and put the file on the table.

Simon smirked. "This should be good."


Alright! Whoever knows what TV show Simon is from, I'll answer 3 questions of whatever questions you might have of this story. I've got the whole story planned out in my head now so ask me and I'll answer.
