Ozpins office - 10:35PM

"So... The White Fang are gonna use Atlesian Paladins to attack the city?" Ozpin asked.

"That's right. We weren't able to get the maps exact location other than it's in the southeast of the city, but we know what they'll be doing after they open it" Evie said.

"Hm... Southeast of the city you say..." Ozpin said as he thought it over. "I'll have Ironwood post scouts in the Industrial district to keep a lookout for anything, and I'll give you two a call once something comes up... You two can go now"

They nodded and left. Once they were in the elevator, Ozpin sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Who would've known Ironheads Paladins would fuck us over?" Edward asked and rolled his eyes.

"Edward. I brought you into this order for your medical practices... not to criticize our other members" He said.

"That reminds me..." Edward said and looked at him. "Since the twins are in the order, when are you gonna tell those two about your super secret?"

Ozpin sighed and looked out his window. "Hopefully never Edward... those two wouldn't understand. Maybe once the Apple is in our hands, and nowhere near Salems, then I'll tell them about me. But for now it stays silent until I say so"

"Very well..." He said and nodded. He turned and was starting to walk away.

"Oh and one more thing?" Ozpin asked. Edward turned around to him. "This whole hatred towards General Ironwood? It ends now, before tensions get any worse"

"Understood sir" He said and walked away... He didn't listen of course.

[The next day] Weapons locker room - 11:00PM

David was getting dressed into his Huntsman gear. He got his sleeveless muscle shirt on, with jeans then boots. He grabbed his leather weapon holster and put it around his body. He grabbed his trusted machete and sheathed it on his back.

He grabbed one last thing, and that was his dirty and bloody hockey mask. He got the idea from the horror movie "Saturday the 25th". He put it on and looked himself in the mirror. What he saw was terrifying... and that's just what he wanted.

"Yo David! You ready to fight?" Arthur asked and walked to him with his Grimm claw gloves on. He's used to Davids combat look, as is everyone from Shade.

David turned and saw Arthur. "You high?"

"Nope... I was running late this morning and didn't have time" He said. "But you know. I should be fine in the arena, and hopefully not lose my mind"

"Alright then" He said. "Let's have some fun"

Combat arena - 12:00PM

RWBY(J) and JNPR(E) as well as other students, were sitting at the bleachers, ready to watch the match. When David and Arthur walked in the arena, some people gasped at Davids appearance.

"Damn... David looks pretty spooky" Nora said.

"Scare his opponents. Interesting strategy" Evie said.

Davis and Arthur got on one side of the arena, while Team CRDL got on the other. David pulled his machete out and Arthur flicked his claws out.

"Begin!" Goodwitch yelled. The two teams charged after each other.

David took on Cardin and Russel. He jumped, and flipped over Cardin's mace, and swung at Russel's daggers before he landed in between the two. He parried Cardin's mace swing, then punched him in the face and kicked Russel in the leg. He tossed his machete in the air just above Russel. David's body was glowing before he disappeared and reappeared in the air where his machete was. He swung his machete at Russel by surprise and then body slammed down on him.

"Damn! What was that?!" Jacob asked. He's never seen David's semblance until now.

"That's his semblance... he's connected to his weapon mentally, and can always teleport to it" Yang said.

Arthur grabbed Dove's sword with his hand. His Grimm gloves protected his hands. He headbutt him then swung his claws a few times at Sky very quickly, as quick as Ruby's semblance speed. Speed wasn't his semblance, but everyone was interested at how quick he was.

"Dude!" Sky yelled as he tried blocking the swipes. Dove loaded his pistol sword with fire bullets and fired at Arthur. Arthur raised his hand up at the bullets and the flames all stopped in midair in front of him.

"Wooooaaahhh..." Dove said. Arthur curled his hand into a fist and the flames started to spin around him. He charged after Dove and swiped his claws at him, with the addition of flames punching through his Aura.

He flipped in the air and delivered one last hit with the flames. The flames spun with Arthur as he did as well, and went up in the air, uppercutting Dove hard enough to fall on the ground. He did the same to Sky as the flame went up and then down again and slam on his head. He fell to and the bell rang. The screen showed both there Auras were in the red with under 15%.

David was dealing with Cardin and Russel using his teleportation semblance. He'd throw his machete around and teleport around while attacking the two at the same time, where neither of them were fast enough to hit him before he'd teleport to the side or on top. He grab Russel and roundhouse kicked him in the face knocking him back.

David tossed his machete in the air again. Cardin smirked and was ready this time for Davids semblance. He swung his mace up at the machete, expecting him to teleport to it again.

Instead... This time the machete disappeared this time.

Cardin widen his eyes as it happened. David teleported his machete to him and was in the perfect spot to finish him. He swung at his legs, flipping Cardin over, then jumped in the air to bring him up in the air, and threw him down hard at the ground. He body slammed Cardin in the stomach and the bell rang.

Goodwitch walked over to the arena. "And that is the match" She said.

Cardin groan on the ground. "Lucky shot..." He said.

"Well done you two... If you were eligible for the tournament, you would have no problem qualifying" She said.

"Thank you Professor Goodwitch" David said and nodded.

"Good thing we can't be in it! We'd kick everyones ass!" Arthur said. David slapped the back of his head. "Ow..."

She rolled her eyes and reset the bars. "Now then... I'm aware that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more match. Any volunteers?" She asked. She looked arond and saw Blake in her book. "Ms. Belladonna-"

Blake yelp slightly and shot her head up and closed her book. "What about you? You've had your head in your book the whole class"

"Me? Well um..." She mumble. She didn't go to sleep last night, she was spending the entire time looking through books and just staying awake. Just trying to be prepared once she finds the

"I'll go!" Mercury said and raised his hand.

"Hm... Mercury, is it?" Goodwitch asked. "Very well. Let's find you a partner"

"Actually... I would like to fight him" He pointed to Arthur.

Goodwitch raised a brow. "Mr. White just finished a match-"

"Eeehhhh now now!" Arthur said. "I'm not one to pussy out. If he wants to get is ass beat, then get him down here" He said.

"Arrogant little prick..." She mumbled under her breath. "Very well then" She said and tapped on her Scroll. Arthurs Aura bar and Mercurys Aura bar was on there.

Arthur and Mercury were facing each other in the arena.

"You got faith in Arthur?" Jacob asked David who's now on the bleachers.

"He's a good fighter... I'm more worried about him when he's sober" David said as he narrowed his eyes on Arthur.

"Oh?" He asked.

"Pot keeps Arthur relaxed, like it does for most people. But Arthur has gotten so hooked on pot that he goes bad shit crazy when he's not high"

Jacob watched as the match began.

Mercury loaded his shotgun boots and ran over. Arthur parried his kicks with his arms. He jumped in the air and swung his claws at him and kicked him back.

Mercury shot fire bullets out at Arthur and he was able to stop the bullets and managed to infuse the fire into his claws. He ran up to Mercury and slashed his face then headbutted him again.

Arthur blasted the fire at Mercury, sending him flying back to the edge of the arena. Mercury got up and smirked. Arthur growled and jumped in the air and dived down at him.

He turned his head to Goodwitch. "I forfeit"

"WHAT?!"

Arthur quickly moved in midair and just missed Mercurys head. He fell on the ground beside Mercury with a loud slam.

"Ahhh... Fuck! What the fuck man?!" Arthur asked and looked at him.

He just grinned and shrugged. "What's the point in fighting you? We're obviously leagues apa-"

Arthur grabbed him by the neck by surprise. "NO! YOU DON'T GET TO FUCKING QUIT BECAUSE YOU'RE A PUSSY!" He shouted and punched him.

"Mr. White, that's enough" Goodwitch said.

"I could've killed you! And now I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Arthur shouted and threw him on the ground and got his claws out, making everyone gasp knowing what'll come next.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Goodwitch shouted. She formed a glyph under Arthur and pulled him away from Mercury. "Mr. White. Calm down or you'll be escorted to Professor Ozpins office"

Arthur panted. "I just need to get out of here" He said and walked away. He made his way to the exit and on his way, he pushed Mercury back down on the ground with his foot as he was getting back up. "You look like a dick in grey!" He said before he left.

Goodwitch sighed. "In that case... Arthur White is the winner of the match" She said. She walked up to Mercury. "Perhaps next time, you'll want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent"

Mercury just looked away.

"I'm going to assume that was Arthur's sober personality?" Jacob asked.

"Yup" David said. They got up and left to go see Arthur.

Main building, front doors - 12:30PM

RWBY and Evie all left the building.

"Man! That was awesome!" Yang said. "Did you see Arthur with that fire?"

"It was so cool!" Ruby said.

"I didn't think there was a semblance like that" Evie said.

"Oh there's tons of different types depending on the person itself" Weiss said. "Mine runs in the family, Rubys came from racing her dad, Yang's came from a fight in her class, and Blake... Uh, Blake, how did you unlock your semblance?" She asked.

Blake wasn't listening. She was too much in thought about the White Fang.

"Blake? Blake!" Weiss yelled.

"Huh! What?" Blake asked.

"You ok Blake? You've been feeling weird since we got back to Beacon" Yang said.

"I'm fine..." She said.

Sun ran up to the group. "Hey Blake!" Sun said and got in front of her.

She sighed. "What is it Sun?" She asked.

"Well... There's this dance coming up this Friday, pretty lame... But I was thinking you and I going together wouldn't be so boring..." He said and scratched the back of his head. "What do you say?"

Blake glared. "There's more important things at steak than a stupid dance... I thought you of all people would understand" She said and walked away. Sun sighed while the girls looked at Blake leave.

"We gotta do something about this... this whole investigation is gonna kill her" Weiss said.

"We'll talk to her tonight" Yang said.

Evie nodded. "By the way, what did you guys find out?" She asked.

"My guy had nothing to give me" Yang said.

"The Schnee reports say that Vale is the main Kingdom for Dust robberies, and anything stolen in the other Kingdoms are reportedly brought here as well" Weiss said.

"I was talking to Penny" Ruby said and didn't add anything to them about the robot stuff. "And Blake said something about an outpost in southeast Vale"

'There's definitely something at that district' Evie thought.

"So you guys got your dresses for the dance?" Yang asked.

"Yup" Weiss said.

"Do I have to go..." Ruby whined. "I can't walk in high heels!"

"Don't care Ruby" Yang said and smirked. She looked at Evie. "What about you Evie?" She asked.

"Oh me? I was thinking of skipping it. I have things to get done-"

"Oh no! You are NOT blowing off the school dance!" Yang said with her hands on her sides. "You and Jacob are already gone so much with those missions Ozpin gives you, but this night will be one where you get to dress up, dance with friends, and probably get with vomit boy..." She said the last part in her typical teasing way and smirked.

Evie blush. "Him? Please. You can do far better than that dolt!" Weiss said.

Yang rolled her eyes. "Either way! You're coming to the dance"

"I don't even have a dress..." Evie said.

"Then we're going into town and getting you one" Yang said. She picked Evie up and put her over her shoulder and ran off with Weiss and Ruby.

"Hey! Yang! Put me down!" Evie yelled.

"Once we're on the airship" She said. She groan and just stopped trying to break free.

Hallway - 12:40PM

As Jacob walked down the hallway, he felt someone tap his back. He turned around and saw a girl in a Haven uniform, black hair with some covering her left eye, and amber eyes.

"Hmmm... Cinder, correct?" Jacob asked. "The girl who can shoot a bow and arrow"

"Yes" Cinder said and nodded. "I never got to talk to you when Haven got here... I'm a friend of Davids, and leader of Team CMEN" Jacob tried his best not to laugh at the team name. Cinder rolled her eyes. "I didn't make the name. Shut up"

"Sorry" He said.

"Anyway... I just wanted to introduce myself to you. Any friend of Davids is a friend of mine... And if you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING..." She placed her finger on his chest and slowly made circles as she her face got closer to his ear. "Don't be afraid to ask" She whispered.

"Oh?" Jacob looked at her and smirked. "Anything you say…" He said. Cinder smirked at him back.

David walked over to the two and saw what was going on, becoming a little uncomfortable. "Uhhhh I'm not interrupting something. Am I?" David asked.

Cinder looked at David and quickly moved her finger away from Jacobs chest. "Oh! Hey David" She said.

"Hey there Cinder" He said back. "I guess you two meet"

"Yup" She said. "How's your partner Arthur?"

"I'm gonna go see him now… and I'm sure he'll be back to his normal self by the time I get to him" He said and laugh.

"Yeah… Sorry about my teammate. He'd rather quit before he loses a match"

"Don't worry about it" He said. "I should go see how he is… See ya Cinder"

"Bye you two" She said and walked away, purposely swinging her hips a bit for Jacob.

Jacob looked at David. "She seems interesting... Not bad looking either"

David rolled his eyes "I don't like her in that way, she's my closest friend from Vale… whenever I'd go to the city to drop stuff off, I'd always stop by her place to say hi and have fun with her" David said. "She always seemed a bit mysterious… like she was hiding something whenever I stopped by… but then again we all have stuff to hide, isn't that right" He said and laugh.

"Hm… yeah, I believe that's true" Jacob said. They both walked away and went outside. "So! You and Arthur's semblance…" He said.

"What about them?"

"What were those?" He asked.

"My semblance is Teleportation" He said. He pulled his machete out. "This weapon of mine has belonged to me for almost my entire life. I have a connection to this baby where no matter how far away I am from it, I can either teleport myself to my weapon, or teleport my weapon back to my hands"

"Very nice… and Arthur's?"

He put the machete away. "Well, Arthurs semblance makes him able to move open flames around and use them to his advantage" He said. "Dude unlocked his semblance during a house fire"

"Damn" Jacob said. He got a text from Evie.

'I got dragged to go dress shopping with the girls. Could you stop by the Industrial district again and look for something?' Evie texted.

'Sure thing' Jacob texted back. He put his scroll away. "Well you go tell Arthur I said hi. I gotta head out" He said to David.

"Have fun" He said as Jacob left. He sighed. "Dudes gonna get killed looking for that thing..."

Dress store - 1:30PM

Yang picked out two dresses for Evie.

"Alright Evie. At school related dances, there is an 80% chance of banging somebody afterwards" She said.

"And the other 20?" Evie asked.

"Oh. Somebody spikes the punch bowl and gets everyone drunk" She said. "Now! The key to letting guys know you're available is the clothing… So do you wanna go the cute innocent girl approach?" She asked and held up a white dress that'd go down to her ankles. "Or the slutty take shit from nobody approach?" She asked and held up a tight red dress that'd go down to her thighs.

Evie raised a brow. "What the, why would I want to dress slutty?"

"It's what women do at parties" She said.

"Why would wome-"

"DON'T QUESTION HOW WOMEN WORK! JUST PICK ONE!" She screamed, her eyes turning red, and her hair in flames.

Weiss sighed and held Yang shoulder. "Just ignore her" She said. "Go and pick a dress for yourself and we'll judge it for you" She said.

"Judge it… Shouldn't I be the one to judge it?" She asked.

"Oh no sweetie… at these things, it'd be social suicide if you wore the wrong thing" She said.

"Very well… I'll find a dress for myself" She said and walked around the store. She sighed. "Just a dumb dance... I don't see what's so special about it" She mumbled. She's only been to one place in her life where she had to dress up, and that was in Buckingham Palace when she was searching for the Shroud. That time was only for a mission. But this? She has no reason to go to the dance… But deep down she really does want to spend a night just not worrying about Pieces of Eden or Salem.

She found a dress that looked just right for her. A long dress that was white and gold. Similar to her own outfit she earned from collecting all those musical boxes. She smiled and took it with her to the changing room. After a few minutes getting it on, she looked herself in the mirror. She smiled some more and looked great in the dress.

"Come on! We wanna see it!" Ruby whined. Evie opened the curtain and showed them the dress. All three girls gasped in shock.

"Oh... my... god..." Yang said. "You are DEFINITELY getting laid!"

"Yang!" Weiss jabbed her side. She look at Evie and smiled. "You look great Evie"

"Thank you..." She said and smiled, blushing slightly. "I never thought dressing up would be this much fun"

Industrial district, bar - 2:00PM

Now that Jacob is a member of the Swarm he gets access to all the hidden outposts in the city, like the bar he's at now.

He walked up to the bar tender. "Hey there. I want access to the basement" Jacob said.

The tender glared at Jacob and crossed his arms. "Who are you?" He asked.

"Jacob Frye" He said.

"Piss off. Before you get your head blasted in" He said. Jacob raised a brow.

"Excuse me?! I'm Jacob god damn Frye!" He said louder. One of the members poked his head out the door when he heard yelling out in the bar.

"I don't give a shit who you are Red Gorilla!" He shouted and pulled a gun out from the table and aimed it at Jacob.

The guy widen his eyes and ran out. "Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah!" He said and got in front of Jacob. "Relax Rick. He's cool... He's the guy who saved me and Simon the other night" He said.

Rick hummed and put the gun away. "He's an idiot... But he saved the boss" He said. "You can go"

Jacob smiled and walked to the door with the guy who just saved him from a bullet. "Thank you" He said.

"You saved my ass, I'd do the same... oh, and word to the wise? Whenever that question is asked in this gang, the answer is 'I'm Negan'" He said.

"Who's that?"

"The name of the Swarm leader" He said. He opened the door and they both went downstairs to the basement. "Name's Matt by the way"

"Nice to see you again Matt" He said.

They went through another door that brought them to a big room where Swarm members were either gambling at tables, drinking, or planning stuff out.

"What brings you here?" Matt asked.

"Just came to ask some questions" Jacob said. "Red Gorillas are hiding something I need, and I intend to get it"

"Well if you need any place to start looking, you can try this old factory. They use it to hold street fighting matches" He said and pointed to the location on a map on the wall. "Be warned though. Place is guarded"

"Sounds challenging... I like it" Jacob said. "I'll see you around Matt" Jacob turned and walked away, until Matt called him again.

"Oh and Jacob" He said. Jacob turned around to him. "Is it true you're looking for Gods Relic?" He asked, and Jacob nodded. "You're on a suicide mission then"

All Jacob did was smirk. "So I've been told" He said and left.

Factory - 2:10PM

Once Jacob got inside the factory through the window, he wasn't surprised to see the fighting ring at the ground floor was very similar to Robert Toppings fighting ring he held in a factory. People cheering on the two beating each other up, while betting on the side.

He got on the ledge to the ledge and closed his eyes. He focused his senses to find a good target.

His vision zoomed over to a Faunus wearing red. His hair was in a pony tail, and had lizard scales on his forearms. He was talking to 4 other Faunus

"That asshole with the top hat humiliated me and my guys the other night. Alex is pissed at me for not killing Simon, and losing 20 men in one night... If anyone finds him, kill him, and bring me his head!"

The others nodded. "On it Fred" One said. they all walked away.

Fred sighed and went into one of the offices.

Jacob blinked a few times. He got off the ledge. 'So you were there at the gun fight Fred...' He thought and smiled. He climbed down to the floor below him, and snuck his way over to the same door Fred went to. He opened the door and went inside. He saw Fred at the desk, facing away from him.

"Unless you got news on that prick, I don't wanna hear anything" He said

"The asshole in the top hat?" Jacob asked and pointed his gun at Freds back. "I've got some news about him"

Fred growled knowing who it was, but kept his look at the papers. "Rather you kill me than Alex once he finds out about this"

"The Red Gorilla leader. You won't have to worry about me or him killing you... I've got some questions, and once you answer them, I'll be on my way" He said.

"Fine. Go on" Fred said.

"I want the location of any White Fang den in the district"

"Uh, what?" He asked and turned to Jacob. "Are you stupid? We're not associated with those guys"

"Oh please Freddy. White Fang presence increases in Vale the same time a Faunus gang takes over half the territory in this district... and you're telling me It's only a coincidence?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah. Whatever those crazy Faunus do is beyond us... We just started getting more territory once the Swarm was keeping there heads down" He said. "Lot of money can be made here in union businesses you know"

"So wait... You're telling me that there not one bit of White Fang ANYWHERE in this district?" He asked.

"I'm tellin the truth. Those guys just recruit new soldiers in the city and rob Dust stores, they stay outside the Kingdom after that"

"Dammit… Dammit. Dammit. Dammit" Jacob mumble to himself and groan. "Son of a… Thanks I guess"

"I'm glad I could help" He said sarcastically. "Now fuck off" Jacob walked over to the window and opened it. "Don't count yourself so lucky the next time we ever see each other"

"It could tell you the same thing. Next time I might not need you to stay alive" He said back. He climbed out the window of the factory.

Beacon landing pads - 3:00PM

As Team RWBY walked ahead of Evie, she stayed behind to speak to Jacob.

"You're telling me that there's not a single trace of White Fang in the district at all?" Evie asked.

"Not just the district, the entire city pretty much" Jacob said. "If the map was located in Vale, there would be at least one White Fang outpost in the area"

"So... what? The map isn't in the city?" She asked.

"I've been thinking that over… I'll talk about it with you and Ozpin tonight" He said.

"Bye" She said and hung up. "Wonderful… Now we really have no leads on the map" She said to herself and sighed annoyed. She got another call from Pyrrha and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hello Evie" Pyrrha said. "Me and Jaune will be training again tonight. You coming?"

"That sounds good..." Evie said, then sighed. "But I can't tonight. Will you be ok without me?"

"It's ok" She said.

"Great... See you later then" She said and hung up.

RWBY(J) room - 8:00PM

The girls were all trying to get Blake to take a break from the investigating to have fun at the dance. Jacob and Evie couldn't be there to help out since they left for Ozpins office a few minutes ago already.

"Come on Blake... All we're asking is for you to take it easy for ONE day" Ruby said. Blake crossed her arms and looked away. "This whole search wont even matter if you can't even stay awake"

"I can handle myself" Blake said. "I don't need to go to some stupid dance"

"It won't be stupid now that me and Weiss are planning the whole thing!" Yang said.

Blake looked at her. "What?"

"Team CFVY's mission lasted longer than expected" Weiss said.

"And it's up to us to pick up where they left off!" Yang said.

"Oh yeah? What about Jacob and Evie? Those two spend more time away on missions and away from us... Are they going?" She asked.

"I talked to Jacob about it and he was already gonna go... And it took Evie a little more convincing but she's going too" Yang said.

"Well then good for them... But I'm still not going. This is a colossal waste of time, and I don't have time for it" She said. She stood up and went to the door. "I'll be in the library" She said and left.

The three girls sighed. "Great. That did nothing" Weiss said.

They heard a knock on the door. Weiss walked over to open it to the door and when she opened it, it was Jaune playing a guitar.

"Eviiiiieeeeee~" Jaune sang. He opened his eyes then immediately goes wide eyed as he saw Weiss at the door. He looked around the room behind her. "Uhh... Evie's here... Right?" He asked.

"Nope. She had to see Ozpin again" Weiss said.

"Huh... That's interesting..." He said, blushing red like crazy. Weiss rolled her eyes and closed the door on him, Yang and Ruby laughed like crazy.

"What does Evie see in him?" She asked and crossed her arms.

Dorm rooftop - 8:20PM

Jaune and Pyrrha were clashing swords together like they do everyday. He's gotten so much better from the scrawny kid who couldn't swing a sword right, to... well, still a scrawny kid, but one who can hold himself in a fight.

As Jaune raised his sword up, Pyrrha quickly got down and sweeped his leg. He fell down, and by the time he got his head back up, the end of Pyrrhas spear was at his face.

Pyrrha smiled and helped him back on his feet. "Well done. Your sword play has improved nicely" She said.

"Couldn't have done it without you or Evie" Jaune said as he dusts himself off.

"Are you ready to move on to Aura?"

"Uhhhhh..." He scratched the back of his head. "I was kinda thinking maybe we skip Aura tonight? Might go on a jog or something..."

She rolled her eyes. "Come on... I know you get frustrated when we practice but we have to keep practicing. I'm sure we'll discover your semblance any day now"

"That's not it... It's just..." He sighed. "It's dumb"

"What is it?" She asked. He didn't answer and looked away. She placed her hand on his shoulder. "Jaune... You can tell me" She said.

He looked back at her smiling face. "It's... Evie"

"Oh..." Pyrrha frowned hearing him say that, knowing what it was about. She looked away then turned back with the best fake smile she could make. "What about her?"

"It just feels like whenever I get the courage to ask her out, she's already busy with something else with her brother" He said.

"Well ahhh... I believe the saying goes, 'There's always plenty of fish in the sea'" She said.

Jaune chuckled. "That's easy for you to say. You probably have guys lining up to get to be your date to the dance"

Pyrrha chuckled as well nervously. "You'd be surprised"

"Oh please... Tell you what, if you don't get a date to the dance I'll wear a dress" He said as he walked away. As he was leaving, Pyrrha sighed and looked down.

"It's not fair..." She mumbled.

Ozpins office - 8:30PM

Ozpin and the twins were waiting for the others to arrive before they get to work. Glynda, Ironwood, and Edward eventually made it up the elevator.

"What's this about you guys? I was in the middle of smoking Gravity Dust in a bong" Edward said. He noticed all the looks everyone in the room were giving him. "What? It gets me all light headed! And numbs me down" He said.

Ozpin sighed and rolled his eyes. "Jacob tells me he has news on the vault" He said. "Jacob?"

Jacob went over to the map of the whole Kingdom of Vale, and not just the city. "We're all wrong about this... Aiden told me the map was located in southeast Vale, but he purposely left out a key point" He said.

"What key point are you talking about?" Glynda asked.

"I believe the vault isn't in the city, but further down southeast of Vale" He said drawing an arrow out of the city borders and into the outer parts.

"In southeast of the kingdom... There's only one place in that area besides forest" Edward said. He took the marker and drew a circle of a spot on the map. "Mountain Glenn"

"Huh? There's nothing there on the map though" Evie said.

"Mountain Glenn was a failed project a few years ago" Ozpin said. "Vale attempted to create another city in that area as an expansion. The place got overrun by Grimm before the construction could be complete, now it's nothing but a half built city that's been abandoned"

"Wait now..." Evie said. "If the vault is in Mountain Glenn, then do you know what this means?"

"White fang have what's left of that city completely surrounded?" Jacob asked.

"Not only that... But if that was the reason Grimm attacked the construction site all those years ago, then Salem really has been at this longer than we expected"

"Hm... You're right Evie" Ironwood said. "Salem's been at this longer than any of us ever have. She might even be waiting for us to head strait for Mountain Glenn to get us all in one"

"If the vault is even in there at least" Ozpin said and stood up. "If we're going to do this without raising suspicion, we need to be ready... Ironwood. for the weekend being, I need you to sign off to launch a drone in the sky headed to Mountain Glenn. Tell the council it's for mission purposes that are coming up, but if there are any White Fang outpost anywhere in the city you keep it to yourself and only tell me" He said.

"On it Oz" He said.

"Edward. There's no need for the twins to go into that city without proper stealth equipment, or at least more than they already have" He said.

Edward nodded. "Got ya, I'll make as much as I can for them"

"Jacob and Evie... We only have one shot at getting this map once the vaults open, so I want only you two to infiltrate Mountain Glenn on mission day" He said to the twins. "You'll be equipped with the best that Edward has to offer you in your journey"

"We won't disappoint" Evie said.

"I know you won't... Now, off you go. There's a dance coming up and I'm sure teenagers like yourselves wouldn't dare miss something that important" He said.

Jacob raised a brow. "You're more worried about a dance right now? I mean, I'm all for laying back and relaxing but at a time like this?" He asked.

He sipped on his coffee. "Oh Jacob... I'm sure you of all people are aware: A man who spends their whole life dealing with what may or may not happen in the future, won't ever get the chance to see that future" He said. "Do not worry so much now, not until the day comes when you will really have to worry"

Jacob hummed and looked down. He thought of when Evie was telling him about Blake's sudden change lately, and it reminded him of when Evie was younger, hearing about there fathers passing. She wasn't always the calm serious Assassin she is today, but you'd never know that unless you knew what she tried doing when she was 16. "You're not wrong..." Jacob said.

"So now what? Do we go?" Evie asked.

"Off you goo" Ozpin said.

The two twins made it back to the elevator. When they closed, Jacob looked at Evie.

"Evie... I never got around to apologizing about what I said back in London" Jacob said.

"What you said about father?" She asked and looked at him. "I forgave you after we killed Starrick... Why bring it up now?"

"What Ozpin said, just got me thinking... about... you know" He said.

"About how I almost got away with killing fathers killer?" She asked. "I regret going against the councils orders like that since the day I got the scar" She said and moved her clothing over to reveal a massive stab scar on her stomach.

"I know Evie... Unlike me, you took fathers passing hard" He said. He put a hand on his shoulder. "But if I learned anything from you, we have to keep going together"

She smiled. "Thanks Jacob"

He smiled back. "Now then... Who will you be taking to the dance?"

"Me? I uhh... don't know" She said. "I was thinking of going on my own"

"Oh? Not feeling like going with Jaune?" He teased her.

She glared and hit his arm. "And back to the same annoying twin brother, just like that" She said.

He laugh. "I'm sure somebody will ask you if not him"

'I hope not' She thought. Women where she comes from hardly have any rights as people, and have to act as if they are servants to there husbands... Evie doesn't like this idea for women, and she can tell Jaune isn't one of those people who sees women like that either. Which just adds to why she likes him.
