[Next day] Beacon - JNPR(E) room - Evies notebook - 10AM

How did this all go so wrong?

Me and Jacob just had to go in, grab one of the soldiers, and have them tell us where the map is... Instead, someone tipped off that Jacob was after his target, and that lead to lead to 9 deaths, and my target didn't even know where the bloody map was!

When we went to the Industrial District, hoping we would find the map with what little Jacobs target offered us, we spent all night searching.

Instead of finding any lead to the map, we found something else…


(Earlier last night) Industrial District - 9:45PM

Jacob and Evie finally made it to the borderline of the district on foot. They both went to two different towers so that they both could see the view better. The place looked just the same as back home in London, with the many factories they had scattered around the place, and old style brick buildings everywhere.

This made the twins feel like they were back at London. Fighting crime and Templars, while looking for ancient first civilization technology? Good times… But those will have to wait. They've got to go treasure hunting.

"You search that side, I'll search here" Evies said in her scroll.

"Got it" Jacob said and hung up. Evie jumped off the tower and dived into the water. The district was connected to part of the docks, and from where Evie was, she could make it into the ocean.

She swam up and climbed back on the dock. 'Now. Time to search around… I'll start with searching for any place with White Fang in the area' She thought and ran off.

Truth be told, Evie had no idea what to look for. Was it a regular sized map made by the Isu? Or maybe a little precursor site box, like the one Shay Cormack stole in France? Nobody besides the White Fang, Torchwick, and everyone else who works for Salem, knows where in Remnant the maps vault is. They could ask any random soldier, but any non high ranking soldiers who get sent to the location of the vault, stay there until that vaults open.

As she went to the buildings, she noticed two Faunus in red walk up to a man in the street.

"Woah there. Where do you think you're going?" One of the guys asked. "You owe us. We want our money NOW"

The man chuckle nervously and back away. "N-N-Now now you guys... W-We don't need to do anything d-dr-drastic" He said.

The other guy grabbed his arm. "Oh I think we do! See when you fuck with us..." He said and grabbed a knife. "You get what you have coming to you!"

'Oh dear' Evie thought. She jump from the building and landed on top of one of the Faunus. She stabbed the other Faunus in the back of the leg with her right arm then stabbed his chest with her left. She tossed him down on the ground then killed the one shes on top of by stabbing him in the back.

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" The guy said and smiled brightly.

"Don't mention it" She said as she got back up. "Stay safe. The White Fang might come back" She said.

"White Fang?" He asked. "Um... That wasn't White Fang"

"Huh? Then who were those two?" She asked.

[Present] Evies notebook

Those men I fought were members of a rising Faunus gang in that district called the "Red Gorillas".

The man told me when word got around that the Swarm was laying low for a while, the Red Gorillas took the opportunity to make there move. The Swarm keep them back as best they could, but there's only much they can do.

The Red Gorillas control half of the district, and the other half was the Swarm. And it seemed Jacob must've got lucky, because he got to explore the half that was controlled by the same gang he's buddy buddy with.

Throughout the night, I was searching places where the vault might be located, but found nothing. Jacob called me eventually telling me to give up the search for now. So I did, figuring he found nothing as well.

I have yet to ask him how his night went...

Evie put her pen down and closed her book. There was a knock at the door, she opened it and saw Jacob.

"Hey there Jacob" She said. He came inside and she closed the door. "I never asked... how did your search go?"

"Oh. It was an intresting one, that's for sure..." Jacob said


(Earlier last night) Industrial District - 9:45PM

Jacob climbed down the tower he was on until he was on the ground. He pulled his fake ears off his head which really hurt since they were almost practically attached to his head.

"Son of a bitch!" He shouted and held his head.

He sighed when the pain died down, then tossed the ears in the trash. "Now then… where the devil do I start?" He mumble to himself as he walked. "This vault would have to be well protected, so it'd make sense to start-"

A car drove next to Jacob and stopped. 3 guys in green got out and grabbed Jacob by surprise and one put a bag over his head. He got thrown into the car, when the three got back in, the car drove off.

"Agh! What is this!? Let me go!" Jacob shouted as he was struggling. He got the bag taken off his head and saw Simon looking back at him in the front seat. "Simon?"

"Jacob!" Simon said with a wicked smiled across his face. "Did that meeting go well? Oh, wait I don't care… Is Aiden dead?" He asked as he held up a gun.

"Yes he's dead!" Jacob said and pulled his arm free and reached into his pocket. He pulled out the cloth with Aidens blood on it.

"Ew… you were serious about that rag stuff…" He said and took it. "Sorry about grabbing you off the street. When I was told you were leaving the building and going the wrong way to me, I got a little worried you forgot about me"

"It's alright…" Jacob said and sat up. "Now, I really need to get back out there. I'm searching for-"

"Oh come on Jacob! You still believe that Relic horse shit?" He asked and scoffed. "When are you gonna realize that you're not gonna find anything, and you're gonna get killed if you keep this up? Because if I don't kill you right now from how annoyed your making me, then someone else will-"

"FUCK!" The driver shouted. The Red Gorillas were blocking the road with a few cars. When they started firing at the car Jacob was in, the driver immediately turned right, crashing into an abandoned building. The driver was shot in the chest and died, while everyone else got out of the car before the Red Gorillas made it to the building.

"Down with the Swarm!" One shouted.

Jacob, Simon, and the 3 men, took cover from the firing. "Who are these guys?!" Jacob asked.

"The god damn Red Gorillas… our rival gang in this city" Simon said and shot back. "They've taken half of the district from us since Aiden was blackmailing us" He said.

Jacob fired back as well with the other guys. Two more cars came down the road with about 8 Faunus coming out and attacking.

"Simon! We gotta get out of here!" One of the men said. "There's too many!"

"No way! We're not backing out of a fight with these assholes!" Simon said. He pulled his scroll out and called for backup.

Jacob reloaded his gun and kept on firing. A grenade was thrown in the building. Jacob quickly ran over and kicked it to the back of the room and it blew up. A door in the back got knocked down from the bkast.

"Simon! I'm headed to the roof!" Jacob said and ran through the door.

After a few minutes, Jacob broke open the door to the roof. He looked down the building and saw the Red Gorillas firing at the building.

'No smoke bombs to distract them...' He thought. One of the cars exploded and went up in flames. That's when Jacob had the idea to use his hallucinogenic darts.

When a few Faunus got close to the fire, Jacob aimed his left arm at the fire and shot the syringe into the fire. The liquid turned into gas, and went in the air. About 5 Faunus breathed in the toxic gas.

They cough badly. "Oh god! What was that?" One asked before he started feeling light headed. He looked around and saw the other people around him. The only thing on his mind was…

"DIE!" They all shouted and started attacking there own friends.

Simon and the guys were confused. "What the fuck… are they attacking themselves?" He asked. Jacob climbed down from the building in front since all the Faunus were busy shooting each other or retreating.

"Mind altering darts" Jacobs said and smirked.

"Hm… nice…" He said. Once the Swarm got there, a few guys stole the Red Gorilla cars that weren't damaged too badly and drove away, Jacob and Simon got another ride and drove away too.

"Evie. Go back to Beacon… We'll tell Ozpin what we found out tomorrow, and we'll search for the map another time" Jacob said in his scroll.

"Are you sure?" Evie asked.

"Yeah. I'll see you back at Beacon" He said and hung up.


Bar - 11:00PM

Jacob and Simon went to a bar in the district to lay low once the cops got to the crime scene.

"One of your men ratted me out to the White Fang. I almost got killed back at the warehouse" Jacob said.

"Is that so…" Simon said and took a drink. "I'll have a word with all my Faunus members back at the hideout. If I got a traitor, they'll be dead" He said while Jacob nodded and drank. He looked at Jacob. "You know something kid… you got a lot of balls going into that meeting and doing what you did, and you showed leadership getting rid of those Red Gorillas"

Jacob looked at him. "Thanks…"

"Now Just To Be clear, I don't like this whole treasure hunt you're going on, but you sure as hell can handle yourself out in the world" He said. "I'm making you an honorary member of the Swarm"

"Really? Wow… Thank you Simon" He said and smiled.

He laughed and drank. "You don't seem like the kind to be in a gang all your life, so I'll just give you a few people to kill or beat up from time to time… nothing you can't handle"

He nodded and drank as well.

"My my... that is quite interesting" Evie said.

"Should we get going? Ozpins waiting for us" Jacob said.

Evie nodded and left with Jacob.
