F3: Welcome to chapter 19 of my RWBY. So far most of the gang is getting closer to Mistral. Wonder what will happen when they get their? RWBY is property of Rooster Teeth. Senka Linwood and Colby Castanho belong to MountainKing312 and Akane Shido belongs to Decode9. With that said Let's Get Started.


Volume 5-19: Arrival.

Morning arrived in Mistral as Ruby and company were nearing the ending of their journy as they were now passing through a mountain trail that was rather rocky but they were making rather great progress. Raven and Yang were still leading the group but with the had slightly gotten narrower they were more spread out.

"Once we get up here we'll be in Mistral. Then we have to get to Haven Academy. I hope that the headmaster is still their." Raven replied.

"Will he be able to help us?" Jaune asked.

"Lionheart is the headmaster of Haven Academy. He worked for Ozpin when he was a huntsmen so he should listen to what I have to say. After that we'll find a safe house to stay in." Raven said as the ten of them walked on.

Just like what Penny had predicted when the sun was high in the sky they saw the peak of the capital city in view just as they came out of the mountain trail. The ten of them gathered just to get a good view of Mistral of the main capital. The city itself was built on many layers with buildings upon buildings and a large waterfall going straight down the middle of it all. Right on top of it all was large building that looked like the academy they were looking for.

"Wow... this is a view but it's still a little far. I mean we're here and and Mistals all the way over their." Star said.

"Don't worry I've got this." Raven said as she pulled out her scroll and began dialing a number.

"Mistral Air Patrol." A man on the other end said.

"This is huntress Raven Branwen. I'm just outside of Mistral and am I need of transport." Raven replied.

"Can you confirm your I.D.?" The man asked.

"I.D. number 73290." Raven stated giving her number.

"One moment till verification." The man said as he went silent for a moment.

Luckily she didn't have to wait long as the man answered again "A transport will be heading your direction. How many are with you?" The man asked.

"Including me their are ten of us. We'll be waiting." Raven said hanging up.

"Didn't think they need an I.D. for us to get in." Nora added.

"It's mainly to confirm if your a huntress. Mistral Air Patrol are very strict on people who had tried to get in using fakes. If they found out you were using a fake then they'll shoot you on sight." Raven stated which made everyone gulp nervously.

"So we just wait for them to come pick us up." Velvet said.

Raven only nodded as the ten of them waited for their transport to arrive. After about twenty minutes an airship was coming toward them. It was a made out of wood and metal resembling a sailboat. On the boat itself were wing like sails along with two propellars in the back along with an access hatch on the side.

The airship landed as the captain came out of the airship.

"Raven Branwen and company." The captain stated.

"Yes. That's us." She said.

"Alright then. Everyone get on and you'll be transported to Mistral." The captain said.

"Actually can you take us to Haven Academy. It's important that I speak with the Headmaster." Raven replied.

"Oh my gosh! This ship is amazing! It's Mistralian Type 2 Combat! Judging by the size it can hold twenty passengers at a time with an eight person crew. Ten vulcan guns in total with six on the sides and four on the front. Titianium used for the metal. Can reach airspeeds to a max of one hundred and twenty mile an hours. Such a beautiful ship." Ruby said her eyes sparkling all over the airship.

"Ruby! Get on the airship or we'll leave you behind!" Yang shouted as everyone else was already on board as Ruby ran toward them and got on the airship.

The airship lifted off the ground and turned around before flying toward Mistral. All around them were nothing but rolling hills of grass that blew in the winds below them as everyone was left speechless from just the sight of them.

"Wow." Jaune said eyeing the landscape below them.

"You never see anything like this before." Nora replied taking in the view as well.

"Mistral is known for their lavious landscapes. Said that the armies used these hills for defenses against oncoming enemies." Raven mentioned.

"Approaching the capital in about five minutes." The captain stated as they just now flew over the city heading toward the top of the city. Below them the city itself consisted of many buildings with a intrigate designs and tall rooftops on them and they could see an abundance of people going to and from place to place.

"Mistral may look like a great place to live but you want to be careful not to go to the lower levels. Those are the more seedier places that'll rip you off in a heart beat." Raven stated as they flew straight toawrd their destination.

Meanwhile just below Akane was walking back to Haven Academy when she noticed an airship fly above her heading toward the same direction that she was. However she could noticed someone who almost fell out of the airship wearing a red cape around her. Her eyes widen and immediately noticed who it was.

"Ruby?" Akane said to herself and not wasted anytime running straight toward her hoverbike and rode it straight toward Haven Academy.

In minutes the airship flew over Haven Academy and landed directly on the land docks. Everyone on board departed from the airship and looked on at the large academy. They landed in the quad of the academy that is surrounded by forests

"Okay this place is huge. Must had a lot of student here too." Yang said complimenting on the place.

"So where is this headmaster?" Neo signed.

"Follow me. If I'm right he should be on the third level." Raven replied as the ten of them went walking into the academy.

They entered the grand hall that consisted of a spacious room that is flanked by two rising staircases and a statue of a woman in the center. The walls are decorated with various paintings and the symbol of Mistral.

"His main office is up just ahead. Feel free to look around just don't wonder off too far okay." Raven ordered as the nine of them stayed in the main lobby as Raven walked up the stairs and headed toward the headmasters office.

"Might as well take a look around for a bit while we wait." Jaune suggested which everyone nodded.

Most of them stayed in the grand hall while the rest headed outside to check things out but mainly the leaders and Neo headed outside.

"Wow... to think this place is built directly on a mountain. Must've taken a lot of work to get it how it is today." Star commented.

"You can say that again." Ruby replied before she noticed a large tower near by academy.

"Is that the CCT Tower? So cool." She added.

"Oh that's just one of the towers." A female voice said walking outside of one of the dorm buildings with a boy standing next to her. The voice sounded familiar as they turned to see who it was and noticed a certain dark haired girl.

"Long time no see Ruby." The girl mentioned.

"Senka! Oh man glad to see that you're okay." Ruby said as they went over to her.

Though Star noticed the boy next to her "And who's this?" Star asked with Neo staring at him curiously.

"Names Colby Castanho or some call me The Gray Lightning." He proudly declared with a smile on his face.

"Does everyone?" Jaune asked.

"... not exactly." Colby said.

Senka cleared her throat before talking again "So... what brings you guys here to Haven? I heard an airship come in and then took off." She asked.

Ruby looked back to the others trying to decide if it was a good idea to let them in on what's going on. Everyone nodded to her and agreed to tell them.

"Well... it kinda goes like this." Ruby said as she went into details about why they are here in Haven and for what purpose.

"So... if what you're saying is true then we need to prepare a potiental White Fang attack and the ones responsible for the attack on Beacon will most likely be helping with the attack." Senka said.

"Yeah. Raven also mentioned something about a relic here in the school as well. Though I don't think we know where that is yet." Star said.

The two Haven students hummed at this before Colby came up with something "We'll have to give this to Akane and see what she thinks of it." Colby said.

"Good idea. You said there are ten of you all in total right. Well there's not a whole lot of people here so maybe you could borrow one of the dorms for the time being that you are here. We also have training facilities that should help as well." Senka added.

"Thanks." Jaune thanked as they went to go gather the others.

=SPIR=

"I don't understand why you need the relic of knowledge but you must be up to something if you need it that badly." The headmaster stated.

He's a tall man with a mane of tan/gray hair and a beard. He has a tan complexion with brown eyebrows and dark brown eyes. He wears a brown greatcoat with a matching mantle, which has crossing emblems on each side. Underneath he wears a white dress shirt with a western necklace and carries a pocket watch with a lion head on it. He also is wearing brown slacks and dress shoes. Sticking out the back is a lions tail that is the same color as his hair and beard.

This is Leonardo Lionheart. The headmaster of Haven Academy. He was currently communicating with a Seer that belonged to Salem.

"That is for me to know and for you to follow orders Lionheart. It's for the best that you simply hand the relic over to me." Salem said from the Seer.

"Even if I could... I have no way to open the vault to the relic. Plus it require both the maiden and the artifact as well. Which neither is in my possession." Lionheart stated.

"Oh that is easily solved Lionheart. The one you seek is a women by the name of Raven Branwen. She carries the power of the Spring Maiden. As for the artifact... I'm sure it'll show itself in due time. The Lions Ring is what you seek." Salem replied.

"And what does attacking my academy will provide me?" Lionheart added.

"A diversion. Long enough for my people to take the relic. As for you academy I could care less about what happens to it. Remember what you wanted revenage as well Lionheart against Ozpin for what he's done to your family." Salem stated.

"Yes... I know." Lionheart said. Just then their was a knock at his door and the Seer vanished into thin air immediately so that it wasn't spotted.

"Oh um... come in!" He called as the doors opened revealing someone he wasn't expecting to be at his office.

"Hello Lionheart. Been a while hasn't." Raven greeted.

"R-Raven Branwen. I wasn't expecting you if I've known then I would've prepared something more appriopate." Lionheart added.

"Sorry if I'm dropping in on anything but this kinda important so I'll make this quick." Raven started.

"What is it that you need to tell me?" He asked.

"I believe that Haven Academy is going to be attacked by the same people that attacked Beacon." Raven stated which sort of surprised the headmaster.

"Are you certain of this?" He questioned.

"I am. I'm also certain of the identify of the three that assisted in the attack of the academy and are more than likely planning an attack on this place as well. Their names are Fox Alister, Yatsuhachi Dachi, Coco Adel. Though I wouldn't leave the White Fang out of it either." Raven added.

"That... would be disasterous if they get into the academy." Lionheart said.

"Are there any students here at the academy right now?" Raven asked.

"Only a short few. All the others have gone home for vacation but I tend to have classes resume by the end of the week." Lionheart answered.

"If these students can fight then we're going to need all the help that we can get." Raven said but just then Lionhearts scroll buzzed as someone was calling him.

"Yes. What is it?" He asked.

"Sir, we have caught a small group coming into Mistral from the north side. One of them is claiming to be a Schnee. We currently have them detained." An officer stated.

"Very good. I'll come down their and see what the problem is. Did they say anything else?" Lionheart asked.

"No sir. Saying they needed to speak with you personally." The officer stated again.

"I'll be their soon." Lionheart said before disconnecting.

"Raven would you mind accompanying me? Perhaps you could help ." He asked.

"Of course." Raven said though her mind was wondering what was Weiss doing in Mistral and more importantly if she came from the north then she must've come from Wind Path. This was going to be a rather interesting talk.

=SPIR=

Hours before Weiss and company were about half a days walk from Mistral as they could see Mistral straight ahead of them.

"We're almost their. A little further and we'll be in Mistral by noon." Adam added.

"Great. Because after all that walking I could really use a bath right about now." Pepper replied.

"I full heartedly agree. Not to mention a chance to relax a moment." Weiss said.

"But remember we also have to speak to the headmaster. I just hope that he's willing to listen." Oscar mentioned as the four of them continued their march to Mistral.

However part way through their walk Adam heard a squawking sound coming from above them. Adam looked up covering his eye from the sun and noticed a raven flying directly toward them more accurately toward him but it looked like it was carrying something on its leg.

"That's an odd looking raven." Pepper replied looking at what Adam was staring at.

Then that's when it hit him at just what who this raven was and smirked.

"Huginn!" He shouted and the bird immedately flew down toward him as he put his arm out allowing the bird to perch on it. On its right leg was a miniature carrying case for carrier birds to carry around.

He gently unwrapped the case from the birds leg before the bird decided to perch itself on Weiss's metal shoulder.

"So what's it say?" Weiss asked.

He opened the letter that only had a few words in it as it said "The White Fang are on the move. Four Days."

This made him scowl before crumbling up the letter.

"This came from a spy within the White Fang. They're on the march. It'll take them four days to get to Mistral." Adam said.

"Then we need to hurry." Pepper said before Adam turned back to the bird.

"Thank you Huginn. Now return to your master." Adam said as the bird squawked before taking to the skies again.

"What did it say?" Oscar asked.

"The White Fang are on the move. They'll be in Haven in about four days." Adam said as the group of four picked up the pace to get to Mistral. Three hours later as the sun was just at it's highest point they noticed the city of Mistral was just ahead of them as they were nearing the front gates.

"Front gates are just ahead so everyone be careful." Adam warned as they were starting to approach the gates. Much to their luck the gate has posted guards their armed with spears as they noticed the four of them heading their way.

"Hold it!" On of the guards shouted making the four stop in their tracks.

"State your business here." The guard ordered.

"Were on our way to Haven Academy. There is someone we need to speak with urgently." Pepper replied.

"Oh and what is this important matter?" A female guard asked.

"There's going to be an attack on Haven Academy. We must warn the headmaster." Weiss stated.

However the guards weren't that much convinced as they stared at them puzzled.

"Really now? Why should we believe that coming from a faunus?" The guard mentioned which made the group flinch.

"How did-" Weiss said but the guard spoke again.

"More importantly from the looks of it you all walked a long way to get here. My guess is from the Wind Path correct." The guard mentioned.

"Yes. We may had come from their but I assure you we're not criminals if that's what you're implying. My name is Weiss Schnee and I urgently ask you to let us pass." Weiss added.

"A Schnee huh? We'll have to be sure on that pending that we further investigate this." The other guard said as he snapped his fingers as the other guards surrounded them pointing their spears at them.

"Hey! What's the deal!?" Pepper shouted not particulary happy about what's happening.

"You wretched-" Adam started going for his sword but Weiss stopped him shaking her head.

"Let this play out." She whispered.

"Hey farm boy!" The guard shouted toward Oscar.

"Y-Yes." He said nervously.

The guard motioned him to come to him "Get over here away from that filth." The guard said.

Oscar gulped before glancing over to Weiss as she motioned to let him go to them and so he did as the guards let him pass.

"As for them take them to a holding cell till this matter is sorted out." The female guard stated.

The guards pushed the three of them past the gate while the others stayed close to Oscar almost like they were protecting him as they were escorted to inside toward a nearby jail.

Once they were inside they were relieved of their weapons all but Weiss's arm couldn't be removed and placed inside a large cell even though Pepper was rather relucent to go in.

"That should hold you lot for the time being. I'd get comfortable you'll be here a while yet." The female guard said.

"Oh I highly doubt that." Weiss said smugly. The guard only huffed as she walked away from them.

"Well this is fine mess we got ourselves in. Came all this way just to be arrested and Oscar is with the guards. What else can go wrong today?" Adam said clearly upset.

"Give it time. They're probably call the headmaster right now. For now all we can do is wait." Weiss replied.

"Yeah... but while we wait could you two give me a bit of space your kinda crowding me." Pepper said as she was controlling her breathing trying not to panic from the little space they were given. This made the two bump into each other by accident which made Weiss blush a little from the action and Adam turn away slightly with a blush of his own.

Weiss was right as for the time being all they had to do was wait until something happened as she noticed one of the guards outside getting on their scroll and dialing a number.

"Yes. What is it?" The voice asked.

"Sir, we have caught a small group coming into Mistral from the north side. One of them is claiming to be a Schnee. We currently have them detained." The guard said.

"Very good. I'll be down their and see what the problem is. Did they say anything else?" The voice asked.

"No sir. Saying they need to speak with you personally." The guard added.

"I'll be their soon." The voice before hanging up as the guard returned to his post while another kept track of the three of them.

Though it made Wiess wonder where was Oscar and if he was okay.

About an hour and a half later she heard voice outside the door of the building.

"They're in here sir. Careful though they might be a little fiesty." The guard said as the door opened with the guard leading two people inside. Weiss immediately saw the older man that she assumed was the headmaster but what she wasn't expecting was the person directly behind him that made her breath a sigh of relief.

"So are they the ones you've caught." The man said.

"Yes sir Lionheart. This one says that she's a Schnee but I hightly doubt that." The guard replied as Raven stepped forward to the jail cell.

"Not having a good time in their are you Weiss." Raven said.

"Oh ha ha. Now would you please tell them who I am. It's getting a little cramped in here already." Weiss replied.

Lionheart looked toward Raven with a questionable look "Do you know this girl Raven?" He asked.

"Yep. Sure do. This is the genuine article Weiss Schnee. She went to Beacon with my daughter and niece. Oh and that wolf faunus their she's a member of another team that went with Weiss as well." Raven said before eyeing the one person she wasn't expecting to see in a jail cell.

"Him though... he's..." Raven started but Weiss cut her off.

"Coming with us. That's not up for debate." She said rather sternly which surprised the people inside.

"And he's with them apparently. So if you don't mind I'll take them off your hands." Raven said.

Lionheart motioned to the guard to unlock the cell door and with a disgruntle noise the guard did just that as the three of them walked out with Pepper letting out a sigh glad to be out of the tight space.

"If you don't mind we'd like our weapons back along with our friend Oscar." Weiss mentioned. The guard went to go gather their weapons and retrieve the farm they had guarded.

Raven raised an eyebrow at this "Who's Oscar?" She asked.

"He's... it's a little complicated but let's just say there is more to him than we originally thought." Pepper added as the rest nodded in agreement.

Within moments their weapons were returned and Oscar walked out seeing the three of them were okay.

"Are you three okay?" Oscar asked.

"Yeah we're okay. And you." Weiss said.

"They were trying to get me to turn against you guys but I was rather firm telling them that I was with you but they wouldn't listen to what I said." Oscar said as the guard handed him his cane back but just as he was about to store it away Raven noticed what it was.

"Hold it... where did you get that?" Raven asked.

Oscar rubbed the back of his neck nervously "Um... it's kind of a long story." Oscar said.

"Fine but we'll talk about it at the academy." Raven said as everyone left the guard house and began heading toward the academy.

=SPIR=

Meanwhile with everyone at the academy Akane had just returned from her errand in town and was greeted by Ruby and her group. They all decided to catch on things that have been happening in Mistral as they were all in the lounge area of the academy dorms.

"So Akane. Anything new that has happened lately?" Ruby asked.

"Well not much really. I've been keeping track of the outgoing and incoming transmissions from the CCT Towers here and trying to sort through all the data so it's been relatively trying lately. Still can't get through to Atlas though and see how Diana is holding up. Makes me a little concerned about her." Akane said.

"I'm sure that she's fine. She's a tough girl that can handle herself. We shouldn't worry so much." Colby said.

Akane snorted at that "Oh really says the guy who's been pacing the floor back and forth for the first three weeks worried sick." Akane teased.

"Hey can't a guy be worried for his girlfriend." Colby added.

"So what's your guys plan right now? I'm sure you all didn't come here just to pay a visit especially with everything that's going on right now." Senka asked looking across at the group.

"Well... like we said we came here to speak with the headmaster. Hopefully he could help us out with what we need." Velvet answered.

That made the three of them look at each other for a moment like they were silent agreeing on something.

"To be honest with all of you I wouldn't be trusting Lionheart just yet." Senka said.

"Really... is something up?" May questioned.

"He's been acting, how would you say... strange as of late." Colby answered.

Akane nodded "Yeah. He's been pretty silent for the last couple of weeks and doesn't even tell us nothing. I mean I know he's the headmaster but still we would like to be kept in the loop on what he's doing. Then whenever we try talking to him it's like he gets scared out of his wits or something like that." Akane added.

"And just how long has he been acting like this?" Jaune asked.

"About a few weeks now. Plus we think he's been having secret meetings with someone that we don't even know about." Senka answered.

"We doubt that it's a secret admirer the guy doesn't get out that often. Guess for now we just wait and see." Colby said.

Just then the door opened into the lounge as Raven stepped inside seeing the whole group.

"Good everyone's here." Raven added.

"I thought you went to talk with Lionheart. Took a little longer than it thought." Yang said.

"Oh... let's just say I had to pick a few people up." Raven said as she stepped aside allowing the first two people to walk in. Ruby and Yang noticed a familiar head of white hair the came walking through the door along with a wolf girl.

Yang and Ruby jumped up from their seats and noticed who it was in front of them.

"Weiss..." Ruby said.

Almost immediately Weiss ran right toward the her leader and partner as she leaped into her partners arm. Joyful tears came down Weiss's face with Yang and Ruby as the three embraced each other.

"You're okay." Weiss said through her tears.

Pepper and Star stood across from each other trying to figure out what to say to each other.

"Hey Star... sorry if I..." Pepper got cut off and her leader embraced her.

"What took you so long?" Star said but she was just glad to see her teammate safe.

"Oh just had a lot to do you know." Pepper said embracing her leader.

Yang and Ruby let go of Weiss but not before Yang felt something cold touching her. That was when Yang noticed the black colorerd metal hand as she held the metal hand.

"Weiss... is this..." Yang said some concern in her voice.

"I'll explain that later but there are few more people that you all should meet... just don't freak out who one of them is." Weiss said as the other two walked in. From what everyone could see the first to walk in was a farmboy to walk in but he was hold a familiar looking cane.

The next person to walk in beside them was not someone they were expecting as Yang stared at the person with a death glare in her eyes while almost everyone was ready to attack.

"Yeah. Not a big surprise about this." Adam said walking into the room.

"Give me a good reason not to knock you damn head off." Yang growled her gauntlets ready to attack.

"Me actually. He's here to help us. He has information concerning the White Fang." Weiss replied as she stood between him and her partner.

The whole room was silent from what Weiss told them and it was adamant that they get the information from him that could be very useful for them so they could combat what will be coming toward them in the future.


F3: And that is chapter 19 of this story completed. Most of the teams have been reunited but now will they trust Adam to give them the information about the White Fang. Let me know in the comments of what you think and don't forget to follow and/or favorite this story. So with that said this is Fireuser3 and I'm Out.
