"BLAKE!" cried Yang, "RUBY! STITCH!"
"Little Faunus Girl!" said Jumba, "Red Hooded Girl!? 626?! Please respond if heard!"
"Weiss," said Pleakley, "Why aren't you helping?!"
"You know who would help?" asked Weiss, "The police!"
"WEISS!" said Yang.
"What? It was a suggestion?"
"Not a very good one," said Yang.
"A member of the White Fang," said Weiss, "Right under our noses."
"We should listen to her side of the story before jumping to conclusions," said Pleakley.
"Just wait," said Weiss, "When you hear it, you'll see I was right."
Then, Yang had enough, and socked Weiss right in the nose.
"SHUT UP!" snapped Yang, "YOU DON'T KNOW AS MUCH AS WE DO! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP, THEN YOU CAN WALK YOUR ASS BACK TO BEACON! WE ARE A FAMILY! AND WE LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER! (Sigh) But it seems you will never know the real meaning of a family."
The trio then walked off, leaving Weiss to think to herself.
Meanwhile, Stitch was looking everywhere he could. He looked in stores, under cars, in alleys, and many other places. He also took food as he was looking.
Ruby was close by, and she was standing against a building, looking upset.
"Why did it have to be like this," said Ruby, "Everything was going so well."
Stitch then ran down the street, and saw Ruby.
"Ruby!" cried Stitch.
Ruby looked up, and said, "STITCH!"
The two hugged, and Ruby asked, "Did you find her?"
"Naga," said Stitch.
"Oh, what do we do?"
"Why so sad?"
The two looked behind to see Penny.
"Penny, what are you doing here?"
"I was wanting to find you. Be your friend," said Penny, "Why are you so sad?"
"We're looking for Blake," said Ruby.
"Oh," said Penny, "You mean the Faunus girl."
"Wait," said Ruby, "How did she know Blake's a Faunus?"
"Ah-rumba," said Stitch.
"Um, the cat ears," said Penny.
"Cat ears?" asked Stitch.
"Blake doesn't have cat ears, she wears a booooooooooooooooooo-oooooh."
A tumbleweed then rolled by, as Ruby whispered, "She does eat a lot of tuna."
"Ih," said Stitch.
"So, where is she?" asked Penny.
"We don't know," said Ruby, "She's been missing all weekend. And we've been looking for her since she left."
"Oh that's terrible," said Penny, "Don't worry, I won't rest until I have helped you find your team mate."
"Oh thanks Penny, but we've got it, right Stitch?"
Stitch was currently sniffing the air, and he then said, "Ikata! Sasa!"
Stitch then took off, with the two not far behind.
Blake, meanwhile, was sipping tea with the Faunus from the boat. She learned that his name is Sun Wukong and was visiting from Mistral to participate in the Vytal Festival Tournament.
"So," said Blake, "you wanna know about my past?"
"Finally she talks!" cried Sun, "after nothing but small talk and weird looks."
Blake then just stared at him. "See, like that!" said Sun.
Blake then took a breath and asked, "Do you know about the White Fang?"
"Yeah," said Sun, "Any Faunus worth their animal parts know about the Fang. A bunch of psychopathic losers if you ask me."
"Haga blah."
Blake and Sun turned to see Stitch standing on the balcony, and Blake asked, "Stitch, what are you doing here?"
"Looking for you," said Stitch, and then he looked down, and said, "Aka Tiki Baba!"
"They're here!?"
"IH!"
"Okay, we'll be up there soon!"
Soon, Sun met Ruby, Penny and Stitch, and Blake explained about her past.
"So, you're upset about the White Fang," said Ruby, "Why?"
"I was once a member of the White Fang," said Blake.
Sun spit his tea out and said, "WHAT!?"
"See, the White Fang wasn't always a terrorist group. After the Great War, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace between humans and Faunus. Although we were promised equality and prosperity, we were still subjected as second class citizens. So the White Fang raised up as our voice. I was there, at the front of every boycott, and I thought we were making a difference, but I was an optimist.
"A few years ago, our leader stood down and a new one took his place. Our peaceful protests were replaced with organized attacks, setting fire to stores and restaurants that wouldn't serve our kind, and robberies of large amounts of Dust. And the worst part is, it was working. We were getting treated like equals. But it wasn't out of respect, it was out of fear. I didn't want to aid in their violence anymore, so I left and decided to use my skills to become a Huntress. So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain sight, all with the help, of a little... black... bow."
Blake then wiggled her ears under her bow.
"Have you told any of your friends?" asked Sun, "Other than these guys here."
"I was afraid of how they would react," said Blake, "And Weiss confirmed it."
"Weiss Ika Patooka," said Stitch, "Blake Ohana."
"Thank you Stitch," said Blake.
"So," said Ruby, "Do you think the White Fang is behind the robberies?"
"I do not think so Ruby," said Penny, "Their actions do not match the current attacks."
"I just hope it's not true," said Blake.
With Yang, she exited a store, and said, "Okay, thank you."
She then said, "Still no sign of her."
Yang looked at Blake, and said, "Do you even care if we find her?"
"Yes, I do," said Weiss, "But, I'm afraid of what she'll say. The innocent never run."
"Unless you give no other option."
The two turned to see Jumba with a file in his hand.
"Jumba has done research. White Fang founded by Ghira Belladonna, father of Blake Belladonna. Originally using protests and boycotts to bring peace, but new leader Selina Khan decided to take action with violence."
"See," said Weiss, "I'm not the only one who-"
"Same as Schnee Dust Company has made many illegal and questionable decisions that even Evil Genius questions," interrupted Jumba.
"What!?" exclaimed Weiss, "That's-"
"Faunus paid far below minimum wage, almost illegally. Unsafe conditions to work in, high accident rates, many human superiors even abusing power for amusement."
"Why you little-"
"And top it off, how many people has Ice Queen's father made miserable?"
"NONE!"
"Files say otherwise," said Jumba, handing it to Weiss.
"Oh please," said Weiss, taking it, "Like there is anything that we have done worse than those Filthy F-"
Jumba finally lost patience, and stomped his foot, before yelling out, "ENOUGH WITH SELFISH ONESIDED GESTURES! LOOK IN FILE, AND SAY SCHNEE NOT AS BAD AS FANG!"
Weiss was taken back a bit, and slowly looked inside the file. In it, were pictures and documents of shady business decisions, hate crimes against the Faunus, and so many things that made Weiss turn pale.
"Look at it," said Jumba, "Even Evil Genius draws line there. Those poor Faunus not even in White Fang. They were civilians."
Weiss looked at the pictures, and said, "B-B-B-But, they took my... friends away from me."
"But Ice Queen's father has been doing activities like this long before White Fang took to arms," said Jumba, "By failing to comprehend every outcome from all sources, then you become bad person, evil perhaps."
"I... I... I don't want to be evil," said Weiss.
"Then prove 626 wrong," said Jumba, "Show him you are not Ika Patooka, and truly part of Ohana, by helping find Little Faunus Girl."
Jumba then climbed into the car he brought, and Pleakley drove away with him, leaving Weiss in deep thought.
"You okay Weiss?" asked Yang.
"Y-Yeah," said Weiss, "I'm... Let's find Blake."
At the docks, Blake, Ruby, Stitch, and Penny were watching, looking for some activity.
Sun then came up, and asked, "Anything yet?"
"No," said Blake.
"Nope," said Ruby.
"Naga," said Stitch.
"Negative," said Penny.
"Okay," said Sun, "I stole you some food."
"Oooo, bootifa," said Stitch, as he took the fruit, and started eating.
"Do you always break the law without thinking?" asked Blake.
"Weren't you part of a cult or something?"
Everyone glared at him, while Penny looked confused and innocent.
"Okay, too soon, too soon."
Then turbines from a ship were heard, the White Fang came out of the ship.
"Is that them?" asked Sun.
"Yes," said Blake, "I thought I was right, but I didn't want to accept it."
"Hey! What's the hold up!?" cried a voice. The voice belonged to none other than Roman Torchwick.
Roman had slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. He is described as tall and lanky.
Roman wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band.
Roman was often seen smoking cigars, and he kept a small zippo-style lighter on hand at all times.
"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment here, sooo, why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?"
"This isn't right," said Blake, "The White Fang would never work with a human, especially one like him."
Stitch then took off, with Ruby saying, "Stitch! Wait!"
Stitch climbed along the walls, and a light post, looking down. However, he then noticed Blake, and made motions to stop!
Blake ignored him, and headed down, sneaking up on Roman. She put her blade to his throat, and removed her bow, and the White Fang lowered their weapons.
"Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?"
"Oh ho kid, didn't you get the memo?" asked Roman, "me and the White Fang are on a joint business venture together."
"Tell me what it is," said Blake, "Or I'll put an end to this business trip!"
Roman then shot the ground below him and launched Blake away.
Stitch then decided to take action. He revealed his second pair of arms, spines, and antennas. He then yelled out, "JA KATTA KWEESTA!"
He jumped down, and broke Roman's hat. Roman pulled it off, and saw the hole. He growled, and Stitch said, "ALOHA!"
Roman then fired at Stitch, only for him to dodge, and the White Fang to follow.
"Come on!" said Ruby, "He needs our help!"
Stitch ran into the shadows, and jumped on Roman's head, messing up his hair.
"HEY! THAT HAIR GEL WASN'T CHEAP!"
"Iki bah bah toobaga!"
"SPEAK ENGLISH!"
Stitch then bit Roman's can in half, and said, "MEGA, NALA KWEESTA!"
He jumped, only to get hit back. Stitch looked up, and saw a young girl with a trio of colors, pink, brown, and white.
Her hair color is typically half pink and half brown, with white streaks on the pink side.
She wore a white cropped wide, broad tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single pink button and large pink cuffs. She wears brown leather pants with a dark belt that has a gray buckle and an additional narrow belt under it. Under her jacket is a brown over bust corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips. She also wears a multitude of black beaded necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck. Neo also wears black and white spat styled under the knee boots alongside black gloves.
"Cama'ahar teh tebracres?" asked Stitch.
The girl then charged forward, only for Stitch to grab her, and said, "NAGA BABBA!"
The girl was then thrown into a wall, leaving a large hole, and Roman took off. Blake tried to follow him, only to get lifted by Stitch, and said, "Naga. Let him run."
Ruby was then thrown into the open, and pinned to the ground.
The person had a mask on, showing only her dull eyes. The rest of her outfit was a black assassin outfit, showing off her female figure, with sword shafts on her back, and a pair of guns on her belt. Her sword was about to plunge into Ruby's chest, when Stitch yelled out.
"NO! AGGAHA! STOP! STOP!"
The assassin stopped, and looked at Stitch.
"Experiment 626," she said, "We will be seeing each other again soon. And it will be against me."
"Who are you?!" demanded Blake.
"I am Night Lash," said the woman, "And I am an experiment of Dr. Jaques Von Hämsterviel."
"Hämstervil!" growled Stitch, "Where is that rat!?"
"You will see soon," said Night Lash, as she took off, and disappeared with great gymnastics.
Stitch didn't know why, but for some reason, he felt he knew that girl.
Weiss and Yang soon made it to the scene, and Weiss walked up to Blake.
"Weiss, wait!" said Ruby, "It's not what you think! She actually has cat ears! They're pretty cute!"
Weiss just ignored Ruby and looked at Blake.
"Weiss," said Blake, I wasn't a member of the White Fang since..."
"Stop!" said Weiss, "I spoke to Jumba, and, he opened my eyes. I was ignorante to the truth that we started this whole mess, not you. But... I can never forgive those in the White Fang. Just, next time something like this comes up, talk to us, please."
Jumba and Pleakley were talking with Stitch, and Jumba said, "So, little gerbil is part of attacks now?"
"Ih," said Stitch, "Where, not know."
"Oh, we need to report this to Ozpin!" said Pleakley, "He needs to know incase Hämsterviel shows his face!"
Roman, meanwhile, was a little scared out of his mind.
"I didn't expect to see you back so soon," said a voice.
Roman turned to see his employee. She is a fair-skinned young woman with ashen-black hair that covers her left eye. She has bright amber eyes and is described to be very young.
She wears lipstick and violet eyeshadow. She wears a dark red, off-the-shoulders v-neck mini dress with yellow designs. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees.
There is a quarter-circle shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. Her fingernails are painted dark red.
She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. She has a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg.
"What happened?" she asked. "These kids came, and ruined the plan with the shipment. Then, a little blue furball came and attacked us, and focused on me."
He then got out his scroll, and showed the fight. Cinder looked at the video with interest.
"This could be an interesting development. Maybe the mouse knows about this."
Just then, a screen was seen lowering right next to Cinder, and on it came Hämsterviel, yelling in her ear, "I AM NOT MOUSE LIKE! I AM HAMSTER LIKE, YOU HALF OF A HALF MAIDEN!"
Cinder rubbed her ear, and said, "Yeah, well, what do you make of this?"
She showed the footage of Stitch fighting Roman, and Hämsterviel said, "That is Experiment 626. If he is here, then he must be working with some new Ohana, as he calls it."
"Ohana?" asked Cinder.
"His family," said Hämsterviel, "However, I have taken some of Jumba's Genetic Experiments from Hawaii, and enhanced them! Now, they will be strong enough to defeat 626! GANTU, PREPARE TO RELEASE THE EXPERIMENTS!"
"Yes Dr. Hämsterviel!" said Gantu off screen.
The screen then turned off, and Cinder was impressed by Stitch's power.
Perhaps I could, persuade, this 626 to join me. But first, I need to see who he is living with, she thought.
With Hämsterviel, he was talking with his partner, and said, "So, these Experiments I have collected, are known by many names. Eperiment 033, Hammerface, Experiment 062, French Fry, Experiment 297, Shortstuf, Experiment 319, Spike, Experiment 221, Sparky, Experiment 316, Morpholomew, Experiment 513, Richter, Experiment 602, Sinker, Experiment 523, Slushy, and two secret experiments that I will use if all else fails!"
"And what number is this experiment?" asked the partner.
"627 and 629," said Hämsterviel, "But 629's name, will be a surprise. I promise you, that they are unable to be turned good. Now, I shall show you what they can do!"
From the shadows, came a large octopus like Grimm, with tentacles that ended in spears, and a sphere head.
"Yes, I am interested as to how they work," said the voice.
On the other end of the line, the owner of the voice is revealed. Her skin is currently a deathly pallor, with jet black sclerae in her eyes and glowing crimson irises that shine brighter when she is agitated. While she initially retained her half-bun hairstyle for her now bleached, pale white hair, she has since re-styled it into a larger bun with six offshoots wrapped together that also suspends several obsidian-colored ornaments. Over the passage of time, she has since grown dark purple veins that line her face and arms, and now has a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead.
She wears a very long, short-sleeved black robe that obscures her feet and partially drags across the ground, with its distinctive feature being a curved high collar with dark red trim bordering the outer edge of a narrow window exposing her bust in a vertical ellipsis resembling an eye, and completed with a long shawl emblazoned with three interconnected, maroon-colored vertical elliptic sigils resembling a trio of overseeing eyes above a series of maroon-colored diamond emblems. She also wears a ring resembling a beetle on her right hand, which now have longer fingernails with jet-black nail polish.
"And I wonder, if I should make my own, experiment," said Salem.
