Finally! I got it done! Enjoy everyone!
Both twins jumped down from the ledge they were on, onto a building rooftop. They walk over to the edge and look out to the city.
"This place... It's like a war zone" Evie said. "Salem had this planned for years and knew the map was here... that's why the Grimm attacked the town"
"She wanted the place infested with Grimm to keep people away... Well too bad for her, she's dealing with us now" Jacob said. He got on one knee at the ledge of the building. "The sun rises in 2 hours... That's when the Grimm wake up to eat"
"Let's get to work" She said back and got on one knee as well. She closed her eyes to concentrate on her senses...

That is until Evie looked around the rooftop for something. "Uuuhhhh... Jacob? Where's the bag with all our supplies?" She asked.
Jacob widen his eyes and looked back.
10 minutes later...
Evie sat on the ground waiting for Jacob to get off his scroll. He was walking around trying to call the pilot... or Ozpin... or someone. But sadly, there was no signal for miles.
"God! Dammit!" He said and put his scroll away.
Evie looked at him. "Any luck?" She asked and smirked.
"Zip it you!" He said. "Screw it. We'll do it the old fashioned way then... nothing but maximum effort" He said and got back to the ledge. Evie did the same and they got back to concentrating on there senses.
Evie looked around the whole city, noticing the few Grimm out walking around, Team RWBY and Oobleck in one of the other buildings sleeping, and 2 dozen White Fang soldiers walking all around the city.
"Be alert! We got tipped off of a few Huntsmen coming into the city. Shoot anything out there that's not in uniform" One of them said.
Evie and Jacob blink a few times then got back up.
"You... heard that too. Right?" Evie asked.
Jacob growled as he clench his fist. "That bitch! She's the one who told them!" He said.
"What? Who are you talking about? Raven?" She asked. "You heard her. She doesn't want to get involved in any of this Piece of Eden stuff"
"Bullshit. She lead us here then told Roman we were here"
"And why would she do that? Huh?" She asked and got closer to him. "If she wanted us dead, she would've done it when you pissed her off... Whatever happened, and whoever told them, we'll deal with it later. Right now, we need to find the vault"
He sigh and nodded. "We'll have to take down those soldiers first. We can't risk Team RWBY getting in the middle of all this"
"Lets be off then... oh and no loud noises. Don't wanna wake the Grimm up" They both ziplined in different directions of the city.
With Jacob
Jacob climbed on the side of a building. He held on the building with one arm, then turned his body to look at four White Fang soldiers below him. "Have to be smart with this... can't use my gun..." Jacob mumble, frowning how he always uses the gun. He climbed closer to the ground before he pushed off from the building and rolled when he landed on the ground, to avoid making too much noise.
As the soldiers walked down the road, they heard a whistle from behind them. They turned around but saw nobody else.
"What was that?" One asked.
"I dunno..." Another said. He looked at a bunny Faunus. "You. Go check"
The guy sighed and walked back down the road. He didn't hear any of the thuds or grunts back behind him as he was checking around. "I don't see any..." As he turned around he saw all the soldiers on the ground dead. "...Thing... Uhhhhhh-" He grunted when Jacob suddenly tackled him to the ground. Jacob got his blade out and stabbed his chest.
After that, he got off and dusted himself off. "Just like that" He said.
With Evie
Evie looked out of a building with a big hole through the wall. She looked down at the four enemies below her. She wasted no time dealing with them, as she pushed a whole couch out the building that fell right on top of two of them, successfully crushing them to death. Evie smiled knowing that to any of the other soldiers who heard the loud crash the couch made, they would think it was just from the building structure being weak, and not something out of the ordinary.
The other two yelped and jumped out of the way. "Holy shit!" One of the Faunus said, looking up. "This is fucked man! this whole city's a god damn deathtrap. should we go back underground?" He asked his partner. He didn't hear the guy say anything. Instead, he heard him gurgling with his throat slit. "Oh shit" He said and back away when he bumped into nothing in the middle of the road.
Evie went back visible in a crouch position in front of the guy. She made multiple stabs from his legs, up to his chest. The guy grunted every time and gasp as his died before he hit the ground.
Evie got back up and dusted herself off. "Underground, huh? Good to know" She said and ran off.
With Jacob
Four White Fang soldiers were storming through one of the buildings in town. When they got to the third floor, they each went in different ways to check the rooms. One of them walked in and saw Team Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Oobleck were asleep. Ruby and Zwei were facing away from the guy and were looking out in the town.
He smirked and aimed his rifle. He was about to pull the trigger on them before he grunted when he felt a sting in his back. He pulled put the thing in his back, which was a syringe. "What is that... blue... stuff..." He mumbled as he tried staying on his feet.
Jacob walked over to him casually. Jacob caught him before he could fall to the ground. He dragged the guy out of the room quietly so the others didn't know he was ever there. "Sweet dreams" He whispered before putting his hand over his mouth and stabbing his throat. He dragged his corpse over to a closet, where the three other soldiers he was with were in. All of them being dead of course.
When Jacob tossed his body inside then closed the door, he left the building without alerting any of his friends of his presence.
20 minutes later...
As he was ziplining to another building, he saw Evie climbing up the same building. They both meet up at the rooftop.
"How many are left?" Jacob asked.
"4 more" Evie said. "And the vault is buried under the city. probably where the train station was being built"
Jacob looked around. "We gotta find a way underground" He said.
"What about the last 4?" She asked him.
"No time. The sun's gonna come up soon... RWBY can handle themselves from here"
She thought about it for a second and nodded. "You're right. Come on" She said. The two got lower to the ground before they used eagle vision to look for any ways underground. They soon found one way through the basement of a building.
As they went inside and down to the basement, they saw a big hole in the floor leading to a tunnel. They both hopped in and got there flashlights out.
Evie sighed as they walked. "This is all so complicated. We'll have to tell Ruby and the others at some point" She said.
"I know... but we'll cross that path eventually" He said. "Maybe we'll tell them some story about secret agents or... who knows. But if Ozpin wants to make our job harder by sending them to the same place we're in, then it's on him if they were to find us"
"Good point" She said. They soon made it to the end of the tunnel. When they got out and looked are there surroundings, they gasped in shock.
"A whole underground train station. Part of the whole expansion project was to get from Vale to Mountain Glenn unharmed" Evie said.
"Train station? This is a whole bloody underground city" Jacob said. "The citizens had to have hid from the Grimm somehow... This was most likely it"
"And now..." Evie looked down at the ground of all the White Fang everywhere. "It's a base for the White Fang... So much for expanding"
Jacob got on the ledge with her as both started concentrating on there senses.
Both of there visions zoomed through the station looking for Roman. While they were looking around, they noticed a few things.
Jacob was at one end noticing a few soldiers moving crates of Dust, small enough that can be carried with two people for each one. One of the guards lost his grip and dropped the crate.
"CAREFUL! The slightest impact will blow these things to smithereens!" Another guard said and slapped the back of the others head.
"Ow... sorry"
"Move the crates to that pile with the others. We'll move them to the train later" The guy said and pointed to where all the other crates were being dropped off at.
[DISTRACTION OPPORTUNITY: Dust explosion]
As Jacob was watching that, Evie's vision was watching some guards sitting around talking and drinking while on break. She saw one guard going up to a big metal container marked water with a little dispenser on the bottom where people can get water from. The guy hit the button trying to get some water in his jug when only drops came out.
[STEALTH OPPORTUNITY: Water container]
After both of them were done with that, they kept on looking around when their visions went past the train tracks. They found there target, Roman Torchwick, as he was talking to the guy who Evie let live in the warehouse.
"I'm tellin you Torchwick! I didn't tell that chick about Mountain Glen!" He said.
"Oh yeah? And how is it that I was told by an informant of mine that 2 of those pests from the meeting, one of which beat the shit out of you! Just happen to know exactly where the map is?" Roman asked and poke him with his cane.
"I dunno man... maybe Aiden. Didn't he die in the other building?" He asked.
"Don't remind me" Roman said and sighed. He looked back at the guy. "We're only moments away from finally getting this job done. This isn't anything personal buuuuut..." He raised his cane and shot the guy in the face. "Can't have anything screwing things up!" He then walked away as other guards picked up the dead body and left with it.
Roman walked over to the cave wall and watched some Faunus pour dust into a big machine that was shooting a laser beam at a big yellow force field in the cave wall.
"So much Dust for one simple map... this fucking thing better be worth it you bitch" Roman mumbled to himself and then looked at the White Fang soldiers to the side. "We'll have the vault open in less than 10 minutes. Get everything loaded in the train and ready to leave" He said.
Both of them blinked a few times getting back to normal. "Too bad for that soldier" Evie said and got up. "They'll have he vault open in a matter of minutes. No time to dillydally. We need to get across this station to the other side"
"These guards won't make it easy... The first sight of us, and we'll never get to Roman in time" Jacob said.
"Then... we'll have to keep them busy" She said.
Jacob looked at her and smirk. "No problem what so ever" He said. They both ran off in different directions to deal with the guards. Both of which having interesting ways of getting it done fast.
Jacob was crouched down behind any cover he could find as he made it around the guards. He stopped as he peaked his head out seeing two guys loading some dust in a crate.
"Why aren't we taking these crates to the laser?" One asked.
"Because 80% of all the dust is going to opening the Vault... The other 20% goes to the White Fang as payment for all the crap we went through getting all this Dust throughout Remnant" The other said. "Honestly, I don't see why Adam would make that deal with those humans. We were doing good with what we had before"
Jacob narrowed his eyes as they left. 'Payment... these guys are only being paid to do this.' He thought. 'Time to do a little sabotage of there payment then' He made his way further around the guards until he was in one of the ruined buildings behind a pillar. He looked around making sure nobody was around, then slowly raised his gauntlet arm. He shot his grapple at the bottom of the crate pile that was close to him.
"Come now... Nice and slowly..." He whisper to himself as he was slowly pulling the cable with his other hand. The crate was slowly being pulled out of the pile until it was pulled out of place. He waited to see if that'd cause any to fall from the top, but frowned as he saw it didn't do anything.
"This may take a bit more ingenuity" He said and reeled the grapple back in his gauntlet before shooting it at another crate at the bottom.
[Minutes earlier] With Evie
"No problem what so ever" Jacob said as the two went in different directions. Evie got her hood on and went invisible as she slowly made her way past guards. She stopped behind cover and then went visible again. She looked over at the guards who were on break, sitting by a fire, drinking.
"For Gods sake! Do you know how long I've been in this wasteland of a city?" One guy asked and drank.
"Eeeerrrr... I got here just 2 weeks ago" The second one said.
"6 months! Doing nothing but constantly loading dust in that damn machine that SUPPOSEDLY is going to open that vault"
"What's so good about that map anyway?" A third asked.
"I dunno" The first one said. "I overheard some stuff that It'll lead to some weapon... Might be true. Might be not. Who knows... all I know is that We get go leave soon" He said and got up to get more water when only drops came out of the dispenser. "Ah damn... Somebody go change the container" He said.
'Now's my chance' Evie thought and went back invisible. She went around the guards and got behind the full container that they'll use next. She slowly opened the top, then took all the poison syringes she had. She then proceeded to pour all the poison into the water, where with the amount of poison she put into the container, it would quickly mix in with the water and not change color thankfully.
"That should do it..." She whisper to herself before going back to a place to hide and go back visible.
[With Jacob] 5 minutes later...
Jacob was now working on pulling a fifth crate out the pile. As he pulled it out, that was the crate that caused the pile to collapse. A few boxes fell onto the ground and the impact caused them to explode in different Dust elements. The explosions started a chain reaction with the pile of crates.
With the explosions going on, Jacob quickly ran off to avoid the blast.
With Evie
Evie watched as about a dozen guards so far had drank from the poisoned water. She then jumped from surprise when she heard a big explosion from the other side of the station.
"What the fuck?!" A guard said and got up. "Let's go everyone! We gotta see what..." He started talking before holding his stomach in pain. Evie noticed the others feeling sick as well.
A few threw up before dying while others just flopped on the ground dead. "What is going on?!" A healthy guard said freaking out.
And with that, Evie went invisible again before making her way out the area, on her way to Torchwick.
She went further down the station when she meet up with Jacob up on a train car.
"You set off an explosion?" Evie asked.
"Hey, we needed to keep the guards busy" Jacob said.
"I just poisoned there water supply" She said.
"Ah perfect! that means less guards dealing with the fires" He said and smiled.
Evie just sighed. They both grappled into a building that was close to where Roman and the laser were. They looked down and listened to Roman talking to a guard
"What do you MEAN the Dust crates exploded?!" Roman asked clearly pissed.
"They just blew up for no reason!" He said. "That was our payment for all of this!"
"Well that's not my fault that you guys are too incompetent to handle Dust... now is it?" He asked.
"I said! it happened on its own!" He said back.
"Well I don't care who's fault it is! Go and take care of the problem!" Roman said.
"There's more than that sir. Guards in the break area are dying out of nowhere"
"What?! How is that..." He then widen his eyes and growled. "Those damn kids... There here. In the station... They may even be listening to us" He said and looked around. As Jacob and Evie watched from their vantage point, They including Roman heard a sort of gong noise. They all looked at the force field to see that the laser has finally forced it open.
Roman smiled. "Finally... The vault is open!" He said. He looked at the few guards that were with him. "Guard this entrance and shoot anything that comes this way until I come back" He said and they nodded. He went inside while a dozen guards were standing in front of the vault entrance.
"Should we attack now? the vaults open" Jacob.
"No. Wait for him to come out. Makes it easier" Evie said. Jacob nodded and watched the entrance. After a minute, Roman walked out of the vault, holding a golden map of remnant. "That's it... The Precursor map"
"It's out in the open... We gotta Attack now" Jacob said.
"No! No not yet. We need to be able to do this and get out of here alive with the map" She said back.
"This is the map? Huh... Doesn't look like anything special" Roman said. He placed the map inside of a suitcase then closed it. "Have everyone salvage whatever is left, and start loading the train cars" He said to his guards. They all nodded and ran off.
Evie and Jacob ziplined over to another building close to the train car Roman went in.
"They're leaving by train... but where? The metro tunnel was sealed off from Vale" Evie said.
"We'll find out later, but It's now or never Evie. Let's get down there and-"
"Hey boss! We found something you might wanna see!" A soldier yelled. Jacob and Evie both looked down and gasped seeing two soldiers dragging Ruby with them.
"Oh no... This isn't good" Jacob said.
"Is it good or bad, Perry? Because let me tell ya... I have had quite a day" Roman said from inside the car.
The two soldiers looked at each other then back. "It's a little girl?"
Roman poked his head out and saw Ruby. "That... Would be bad" He said and jumped off the car. "Or is it... Let her go" The let Ruby go. She growled and quickly ran to Roman. He just smirked and moved to the side and made Ruby trip on his cane. She oof as she hit the ground. "My my. You're much more manageable when you don't have that oversized gardening tool of yours" He said and aimed his cane at her head as she tried getting up. "Now... I was told that your two friends... Twins, I think they are? Yeah. Twins... I was told that your twin friends would be here... But how did YOU find this place?" Roman asked her.
"What... Jacob and Evie aren't here" Ruby said.
"Ah! That's their names. Thank you very much Red" He said and picked her up and got her on her knees. "Oh Jacob? Evie? I have your tiny annoying friend with a gun to her head! Now I suggest you come out now to have a nice chat with me, or she dies" He said loudly and looked around. "I know you're listening... I know you're here. Poisoning my men? Blowing their Dust to smithereens? You expected to beat me by pulling silly pranks?" He asked.
"What do we do Evie?" Jacob whisper as Roman kept talking.
"I'm thinking. I'm thinking..." Evie said.
"You have 5 seconds!" Roman said.
"5..."
"4..."
"3-"
Roman stopped his countdown when another explosion went off.
"Oh what the..." He mumble. "Thought they got the Dust under control! Oh for... Perry? If you and the guys could check that out? Kinda in the middle of something here..." He said to the guards. Perry and the other two nodded and as they walked a few feet away, a bigger explosion went off. Roman grunted and back away from the blast. "Alright! What is going on!?" He shouted.
The twins noticed some soldiers running away while shooting behind them. They saw the rest of RWBY running into their view, attacking the White Fang.
Roman glared as he saw them. He then grunted when Ruby knocked him down and quickly ran away towards the others. "That little... SOMEBODY KILL HER!" He shouted as he and multiple soldiers pulled there weapons out and started firing.
"Alright screw this sneaky crap" Evie said and jumped down.
"That's more like it!" Jacob said and jumped down too. They landed in the middle of the gunman group then popped smoke bombs to kill them all to keep Ruby safe. When the smoke cleared they looked through the dead bodies.
"Roman's not here. Where is he?! Where is the suitcase!?" Evie asked.
Jacob looked around. "There!" He said and pointed to Roman running towards the train where other soldiers were covering him.
"Spread the word. We're leaving right now" Roman said.
"But we're not finished loading the train sir!" The guy said.
Roman grabbed him by the throat and shoved him on the train car wall. "Do it! Or you're finished" He said and let go. He picked up his suitcase then got on the train.
Yang ran over to Ruby and hugged her. "Ruby! You're ok!" She said then saw Jacob and Evie running up to them. "Jacob? Evie? What the hell are you two doing here in Mountain Glenn?" She asked.
"Us?" Jacob asked. "Well... uhh... You seee... Ozpin put us on a more special mission" He said.
"What kind of mission?" Ruby asked. "And why did Roman know about you two?"
Evie sighed. "Listen you guys... the truth is-"
"-Is that our semester mission was to hunt down a White Fang stronghold!" Jacob said interrupting Evie from saying anymore. "Yeah. Ozzy thought we were a tad better than other first years so he wanted us dealing with White Fang presence in Vale... aaand our hunt lead us in these caves" He said and smiled.
"Huh... well that makes sense to me!" Oobleck said.
"Hm... yeah..." Yang mumbled as she looked at the twins. She knew that there was something else they weren't saying... But what could it be?
"Yes... What he said..." Evie said. "Look you guys, back to brass tasks! Torchwick and the White Fang have a whole armory down here! All the stolen Dust has been brought here, and dozens of those Atlas Paladin things are on that train!"
"But that's obscured. The metro tunnel's sealed off from Vale. That train would just go in a dead end" Oobleck said.
The intercom soon turned on. "Get to your places people! We are leaving in 5 seconds!" Roman yelled.
They all looked at the train as the horn blared then start to move. "Well it looks like it's going somewhere" Yang said.
"We need backup!" Ruby said and got her scroll out. "I'll call Jaune..." She tried calling but there was no signal. "Ugh! I can't get through!"
"So... What do we do now?" Weiss asked.
Oobleck hummed and got up. "Ladies... and Jacob... I believe there's only one option" He said.
"Agreed" Jacob said as he, along with the others all got there weapons out.
Ruby got up too with her scythe out. "We're stopping that train" She said with a stern look at the train.
