RWBY: Team CRML

Chapter 6

A few months later, Chrome and his team were walking through the streets of Vale as citizens put up decorations and advertisements of the upcoming festival and tournament. "Tournament, huh?" Chrome said, noticing the posters.

"Yep!" Nicci smiled. "We are gonna kick so much ass!"

"Hm." Marek seemed indifferent about it.

"Yeah, well we can focus on that once we-"

"Whoa." Liam was cut off as Nicci noticed a broken into shop down the road. The four of them approached the shop. The window and door to the shop were blocked off by yellow police tape.

"What happened here?" a familiar voice asked. Ruby and her team stood on the opposite side of Chrome and his team.

"Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." the detective said.

"They left all the money again." the second detective said.

"Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?" the first detective asked.

"I don't know, an army?"

"You thinking the White Fang?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough."

Chrome and Blake both shared a quick glance, worry in both of their eyes. "Hmph! The White Fang. What an awful bunch of degenerates!" Weiss said, crossing her arms.

Blake glared at her teammate. "What's your problem?"

"My problem?" Weiss growled. "I simply don't care for the criminally insane."

"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus." Blake growled back.

"Misguided?"

Chrome's cat ears folded back with each word exchanged between Weiss and Blake. Noticing this, Liam placed a hand on his leader's shoulder. "Maybe we should get outta here, huh?"

"Yeah." Chrome nodded as him and his team turned around and walked away.

The four of them began heading back to their dorm to get some rest.

A few hours later

Reaching the dorms after exploring Vale all day, Chrome began to fall a bit behind, his thoughts still on the conversation between Weiss and his sister. "Hey, you guys go on ahead." he said to his team. "I'm gonna walk around for a bit."

"Okay!" Nicci walked ahead to their shared room. Marek, being his usual quiet self, followed Nicci without a word.

That left Liam and Chrome. "You okay, man?" Liam asked.

"Yeah. Just wanna clear my head a bit." Chrome waved his hand.

"Alright." Liam followed his other two teammates.

Now by himself, Chrome began wandering the halls of the dorms. He kept thinking about that break-in back in Vale, wondering if the White Fang was truly behind it.

As he walked by one of the rooms, the door burst open as a black blurr rushed by him. Looking back, he couldn't see who it was, they were already out of sight, but he did catch the familiar scent of his sister. "Blake?"

Looking into the dorm room, Weiss Schnee, red with anger, stormed towards the Belladonna, gripping the collar of his shirt. "Weiss!" Ruby shouted.

Ignoring her leader, Weiss glared into Chrome's amber eyes. "You're Blake's cousin right?!"

"What are you-?"

"Answer the question!" Weiss growled.

"Y-yeah." Chrome sputtered out. "Something like that."

"Are you with the White Fang too?!"

Chrome's eyes widened as Weiss said those words.
