"Well, that was a pretty fun event now, wasn't it? Good ol' Noble Team died to the very end… well, except for Blake. I bet she's having some serious survivor's guilt. Hahahaha!"

Hades looked through the universes. "Still. I have to give ol' Rose Bud credit, she went out swinging and now she's one with Reach… burnt to a crisp!" He chuckled. "Ooooh… this one looks good!"

Hades looked up with a smirk. "I'm sure we all know the classic story with ol' Snow White, right? Born and raised in Atlas by her asshole of a father, grows up to hate the Faunus and the White Fang, and eventually warms up to them, right before the classic SRS hijinks ensues. But! That series of events happened only because of a lack of… dare I admit it, immediate action from Weiss's mother, Willow Schnee."

He let out a chuckle. "You ever wonder what would happen if Willow took action? Let's find out together!"

What If… Weiss Was Raised by the Faunus of Menagerie?

"These blasted Faunus… they think they own everything!" Jacques complained, throwing an empty bottle of champagne into a wall.

"Jacques. Will you please calm down?" Ironwood asked.

"No! The faunus need to be stopped."

"And what is wrong with Faunus, exactly?"

"They're freaks of nature… we need to let them see who's the top dog in this planet. We already have them working in the mines."

"Jacques, sometimes I wonder if you are truly mentally sound…"

"Of course I am! It's them that they're not! And by golly… when I step down years later and Weiss takes my seat, she will be untouchable. I'll show her how Faunus are stains of this planet and she will make them lick her own boots when she is old enough!"

Ironwood shook her head. "Jacques… what makes you think Weiss will be just like you?"

"I don't think she will. I know she will."

Unbeknownst to Jacques, Willow scooped up baby Weiss in her arms, covering her with a blanket. She peeked out of the door and heard Jacques still complaining in his office. She turned to Winter, Kirumi and Klein. "Let's go."

With a nod, all of them hurried down the stairs and walked out of the front doors, heading straight for a Bullhead in the dead of night, the moon illuminating the mansion.

"She's not safe here…" Willow said. "She needs to be raised in a healthier environment… away from him. Menagerie will do her good."

She looked at Weiss, gently kissing her on the forehead before handing her to Kirumi. "Kirumi, take her… you won't raise any suspicion if you disappeared alongside with her."

Kirumi gently took Weiss. "I'll do what I can, Mrs. Schnee." She said as Willow hugged her, as did Winter and Klein.

"Take care, you two." Klein said.

"We will, uncle Klein… I'll miss all of you." She said softly as she walked into the Bullhead with Weiss. "Pilot, we're ready to go."

"Understood." The Bullhead roared to life, lifting off the ground and flying away. Kirumi looked out the window, waving them goodbye as a tear ran down her cheek.

"You sure this is a good idea?" Winter asked.

"If it means being away from him… then yes." Willow responded as they walked back into the mansion.

Jacques walked out of his office. "I'm telling you, James… you and your daughter don't know what-"

"You leave Esdeath out of this."

Jacques rolled his eyes. "I'm not sure why you're protective of her. She's not really your daughter."

"I'm more of a father than you ever will."

"Ha! That'll be the day." Jacques spotted Willow. "Ah, Willow. How's my little heiress doing?"

Willow shed some tears. "Your heiress is gone, Jacques."

"What do you mean "gone"? Is she crawling around the mansion unsupervised?"

"No. She crawled outside and a Grimm ambushed her and Kirumi. Both of them were killed by the time we got to them…"

"A Grimm worming its way into Atlas? Impossible!"

"Grimm are sneaky like that."

"Yes, I suppose so…" Jacques mumbled. "Still though… Weiss dying is but a stain to the SDC… we shall have Atlas and Mantle mourn the loss of the latest Schnee."

"And what about Kirumi?" Ironwood asked.

"What about Kirumi? Servants come and go about a lien a dozen. They can be easily replaced! It's pointless to mourn a servant anyway. I'm sure we can replace her with a savage beast they call Faunus."

Klein clenched his fists, his eyes turning red as his blood boiled at what Jacques was saying.

"Nevertheless, we will have to make due with another heir."

"What about Winter?" Ironwood asked.

"Pah! She's far too rebellious, she's a lost cause."

Winter folded her arms. "Father, I am standing right here."

"Yes… and?"

Winter shot him a dirty look.

Jacques turned to Willow. "Willow, we must make a new heir to the SDC as we speak." He grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her away. "Come!"

"Don't you think you need to wait? She still needs to recover after giving bir-"

"I can't hear you, James!"

Ironwood pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is barbaric." He said as he turned to Winter and Klein. "Is it true that those two are dead?" He asked as both of them said nothing but their eyes had a twinkle in them as Ironwood's eyes widened before closing his eyes. "I understand… I'll keep this a secret."

Later, at Menagerie…

Kali cradled a baby Blake in her arms, smiling at her and softly humming while Ghira watched them with a smile on her face as she gently put Blake to bed. "Goodnight, sweetheart." She said gently, kissing her on the forehead and closing the door.

"Sir!" A faunus approached Ghira. "A Bullhead has entered Menagerie."

"Hmm?" Ghira wondered as he walked after the Faunus with Kali in tow where they would see Kirumi walking out of the Bullhead, carrying Weiss in her arms.

"A human?" Kali wondered. "What's a human doing here in Menagerie?"

Ghira calmly approached Kirumi. "Excuse me, young lady." He waved her down. "What business do you have here in Menagerie?"

"Starting a new life." Kirumi said.

"A new life?" Ghira curiously asked. "Where are you from?"

"Atlas." She responded and showed him Weiss where the faunus, Ghira and Kali looked her over.

"White hair… she's a Schnee." The Faunus grimaced. "We all know how bad Jacques is…"

"Her mother wanted her to be away from the toxic lifestyle in the SDC. She asked me to take her here."

"I'm not sure if this is a good idea… I mean-"

"Hold on a moment." Ghira stopped him as he stroked his beard, deep in thought. "Just because Jacques is not the nicest human out there doesn't mean all of them are." He said as he folded his arms and nodded. "I say let these two live here, raise the little girl in a healthier environment."

Kali's eyes sparkled as she gently took Weiss from Kirumi. "Ooooh, Blake is going to have a sibling, this is amazing~!" She walked off with her.

"By the way, what is your name?" Ghira asked.

"Kirumi Tojo. The baby that your wife took is Weiss."

Ghira smiled. "Well, Kirumi. You and Weiss are welcome to stay here for as long as you'd like."

"Thank you." Kirumi smiled.

Back at home, Kali gently placed Weiss down next to Blake. She would see Blake tilt her head next to Weiss, the latter doing the same. "Aww, they're best friends already~!"

Three years later…

"Mommy~!" Weiss called out as Kirumi walked over to her.

"Yes, sweetie? What is it?" Kirumi smiled, kneeling down.

"Close your eyes."

Kirumi closed her eyes, where she felt something touch her head.

"Okay, open 'em!" Weiss requested as Kirumi opened her eyes and looked up to see a flower crown on her head.

"Oh!"

"Blake made one for hers. She helped me make one for you!"

"Oh, sweetie…" Kirumi hugged her.

"I love you, mom!"

"I love you too, honey…"

"Weiss!" Blake waved her over. "Come on, let's go!"

"Coming!" Weiss smiled and headed over to Blake where they would also meet up with Adam and Ilia.

"I have to say… I'm still surprised you took on the role of her mother." A voice said as Kirumi turned to see a teenage Sienna leaning against a wall.

Kirumi smiled. "Even if I'm not her actual biological mother, she tasked me to watch over her… I took on the role as her mother the moment we left Atlas."

Sienna chuckled. "I don't see anything wrong with that. Still… some villagers aren't too keen on the idea of two humans living in Menagerie, one of them actually being a Schnee. Considering… ya know…"

"The Schnee name took a nosedive after Jacques took over, I will admit that…"

"It took me a while to get used to it and yeah, they're slowly warming up but there are those traditionalists out there who think it's not a good idea." Sienna admitted. "Not to mention a human being amongst the White Fang is a bit of an oddity. People may get the wrong idea and think we've kidnapped you and her."

"Let them think that. They don't know the truth. And as long as the wrong eyes are oblivious that Weiss is alive… that is fine with me."

Sienna nodded. "Right."

With Adam and Ilia…

"So, what do you think of Weiss?" Ilia asked.

"I think she's pretty."

"So do I!" Ilia smiled. "I don't know what the adults are talking about, I think it's great that we have two humans living amongst us! …Odd how they're the only ones though."

"Yeah. Something about Weiss… she…"

"What about her?"

Adam smiled. "I'm gonna do whatever I can to protect her. It seems like the right thing to do."

"Pffft, protect her from what, butterflies?"

"No. Grimm, bullies… anything that would cause her harm."

Ilia raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you being a bit dramatic?"

Adam smiled. "Maybe a little bit. Then again, you said the same thing about Blake."

Ilia blushed, her body turning pink. "ADAM!"

Adam grinned. "Too easy." He chuckled.

"But you're right… I don't why I want to protect Blake, but… I just like her."

"I like them both."

"So do I." Ilia nodded.

"Hey, Ilia! Adam! Where are you?" Weiss called out to them.

"You sure you want to protect her?"

"She seems like the type of girl you'd want to protect, right? I have no idea why I'm like this all of a sudden…"

Ilia gave him a mischievous smile. "You liiiiiike her~!"

Adam blushed. "Ilia!"

Ilia giggled as she walked off with a hum. "We're over here, Weiss!"

Later that night…

Weiss looked up at the stars on the beach, sitting down on the sand. "Weiss? Honey, where are- oh, there you are." Kirumi approached her. "Looking off at the stars again?"

"Yeah." Weiss nodded. "My friends and I wandered into town and I felt some Faunus gave me some nasty looks… not all of them, but a few just wouldn't bother to smile at me. Did I do something wrong to not make them like me?"

"Oh no no, you didn't do anything wrong, sweetie." Kirumi sat down and wrapped her arms around her. "Some people are just naturally grumpy."

"But they smiled at Blake and the others… we're the only humans here in Menagerie…"

"Some people don't like change." Kirumi said. "When you and I came here for shelter, a lot of people didn't like the idea of humans living amongst them since some humans were cruel to them. It's hard, but we're making it work."

"Why did we come to Menagerie anyway?"

"Let's just say we were in a horrible environment and we needed to get you out of there so you wouldn't experience such horror."

"Oh… okay…"

Weiss turned around, staring at Kirumi. "Will those adults ever like me?"

"Honey, in life… not every person is going to like you. If they don't like you… don't worry about it. That's their problem, and if I'm being honest, those individuals have poor judgement of character." She gently caressed her cheek. "So, let's just focus on the people who do like you, like your friends and the adults who actually have excellent judge of character."

Weiss smiled. "Okay!"

Kirumi kissed her on the forehead as she wrapped her arms around Weiss, burying her head in her chest. Someday, you'll know the truth about your birthplace… but right now, let's not worry about that.

Weiss turned around, the both of them looking at the stars together.

"You know what this situation calls for?" Hades asked. "A montage! HIT IT!"

BGM: Son of Man (Tarzan)

As the years went by…

Kali and Kirumi finished up making a new outfit for Weiss, consisting of black fingerless gloves, sunglasses, a light blue tank top with snowflakes and a White Fang logo on the back of the tank top and tan shorts with brown sandals on her.

A thief snagged a couple of items at the market, quickly making a run for it, only for Weiss to intercept him and tackled him to the ground. She then sat on his chest as she took the items off of him and handed them back to their owners.

Weiss fished alongside Ilia, both of them reeling in some fish as they both high fived, only to feel a massive tug as they would see Blake eating both fish from their lines, causing Ilia to facepalm while Weiss laughed.

Adam handed a gift over to Weiss as she curiously opened it up and pulled out a halberd-shotgun hybrid. She jawdropped in awe and then hugged Adam. He smiled, rubbing her back as Ilia, Blake and Kirumi curiously examined the weapon.

A few small Nevermore circled Weiss as one of them dive bombed her. She swiftly rolled out of the way and swung her halberd into the neck of the Nevermore, switching to its shotgun mode and peppered it in the face to get rid of it. The two other Nevermore divebombed behind her, only to get instantly cut down by Adam intervening. Weiss looked at him in surprise as he gave her a smile, where she smiled back.

Weiss closed her eyes, deep in training as she quickly made a few glyphs as Kirumi jumped over on these and spiked a volleyball hard enough to send it flying, where it whizzed past Ghira and Sienna, catching them both off guard as Weiss and Kirumi both high fived and hugged.

A few Anti-Faunus humans were shooting at the White Fang, one of them nicking Ghira in the shoulder and causing his aura to flicker. However, before they could do any more harm, Weiss dropped in from a tree and landed on one of them to knock them out as she then fired her shotgun at another. She quickly sweep kicked another and planted her foot on his throat and aimed her shotgun at the leader, causing him to raise his hands up in the air… only to get the back of his neck karate chopped by Adam, the two of them nodding.

Weiss did several push ups on the beach with Blake casually sitting on her back reading a book as Weiss continued doing push ups, resorting in doing one armed push ups as well.

Weiss, Blake and Ilia jumped from tree to tree, the three of them cutting off coconuts where Adam got into position and swiftly cut off the tops. The trio jumped down as they started to drink the coconut water from it as Kirumi and Kali joined them.

Weiss and Adam proceeded to spar against each other, slashing each other with their weapons with them both clashing as Adam swung his sword, the tip of the blade almost nicking the bridge of her nose as Weiss quickly made a few glyphs to pepper Adam with icebergs as he slashed through them, only for Weiss to swiftly swing her halberd into him to knock him down on his butt. She then proceeded to help him up, both of them smiling.

Weiss took a running start and jumped off of a cliff, diving straight into the water and coming up for air as Blake nearly landed on her a moment later. Weiss teasingly splashed her face, causing both to laugh.

Ghira flipped some burgers on a grill while Kirumi, Sienna and Kali watched Weiss and Adam carry both Blake and Ilia as they both tried to push each other over until a massive wave came in and knocked them all down, causing the onlookers to laugh, including the ones that were playing in the water. Ghira called them over, telling them that the burgers were ready as they all went over to enjoy their food with smiles on their faces.

End BGM

Ilia looked through some binoculars on a cliffside, seeing a train coming their way. "Okay, here it comes. The shipments are en route."

"Are they in position?" Sienna asked.

"I'd say… NOW!" She cued as Blake, Adam and Weiss slid down the cliffside and then hopped down on the locomotive of the train.

"We're on board, Ilia." Weiss said.

"Good. Now let's hope this goes smoothly."

The three of them hopped down at the back end of the locomotive as they opened up the door and walked in, Weiss immediately spotting a device. "Hmm?" She curiously took a look.

"The dust should be in the next car over." Adam said.

"Hold on a second!" Weiss spoke up as they turned to her.

"What's up?" Blake asked.

"There's a device here… I'm not sure what it is, but apparently it's an alarm."

"An alarm? For what?" Adam asked as suddenly the lights turned on as several robots landed on the ground.

"Intruder, identify yourself!"

"For that, apparently!" Weiss exclaimed, all three of them proceeding to attack the robots, cutting through their defenses as Adam sliced through them like butter as Weiss shot their heads off as Blake kicked one down until none remained as they walked through the car and opened up the door, walking through the next one and finding crates of dust.

"There we are." Adam turned to Weiss, nodding at her as she swung her Halberd down at the latch, destroying it as the train went on, the engineers unaware of what just happened as the rest of the cars came to a complete stop.

"And you wanted to do explosives." Weiss smirked.

"Well… it seemed like a good idea at the time…" Adam admitted.

"Sienna, we have the payload." Blake said.

"I see that. They're on their way." Sienna said as the helicopters came in and lowered the magnets down, latching onto the metal containers and pulling them off of the cars as the trio latched onto one of them.

"The SDC's gonna take a hit from this." Weiss said. "...But honestly? If it means sticking it to that ugly bastard, then I don't give a crap."

"Yeah, and besides, we're making Menagerie the top dust supplier of the world!" Blake smiled, high fiving Weiss and Adam as Ilia and Sienna joined them.

"I can only imagine the look on the head of the SDC's face." Adam chuckled as they headed back to Menagerie.

In Atlas…

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Jacques yelled in anger. "We lost ANOTHER shipment of dust?!"

"Yes. The White Fang took the shipment to Menagerie." An Atlesian soldier said.

"What's so special about Menagerie?! It's a pig pen!"

"Well, apparently Menagerie is becoming the world's top dust supplier. They've managed to outpace us by a large margin and everyone is more dependent on them over us."

"Rrrrgh!"

"Not only that, but we've been hearing reports of a human girl who's working with the White Fang."

"A human amongst the ranks of the White Fang?"

"Yes, she's considered to be the best of the best."

"I want you to find her, bring her to me so I can properly execute her!"

"Well, look who's overreacting." A voice said as Jacques turned to see Esdeath leaning on a wall, casually filing her nails. "I have to say, Jacques… you've been slipping these past few months. You're acting like you're afraid that someone is dethroning you."

"Silence, woman!" Jacques glared. "I'm not afraid of this White Fang and I'm not afraid of Menagerie! By golly… I'm going to make sure we are going to throttle Menagerie's shipments!"

"Throttling Menagerie's shipments…" Esdeath shook her head. "Honestly, Jacques. Do you hear what comes out of your mouth? You're acting like a spoiled brat."

"Oh, but Esdeath, father is in the right."

Esdeath shifted her eyes to see Whitley walking in. "These White Fang are a stain to our shipments, so we might as well put a cork in it before it's too late."

"See? The rightful heir gets it!" Jacques said.

Esdeath gave Whitley a saddened look before she turned back to Jacques. "Jacques, somehow… I feel like this is going to bite you in the butt." She smirked. "And I can't wait to see the look on your face when it all falls apart."

"Don't you have orphans to play with? Shoo!"

Esdeath walked out with a chuckle before frowning, clenching her fists. "The way you're influencing your boy… it infuriates me." She grumbled.

"Look at the bright side, father. They probably haven't named their company yet. We're still the Schnee Dust Company."

"Indeed. It's not like they're going to copy us or anything."

At Menagerie…

"Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you our newest building… the White Fang Dust Distribution Company!" Ghira declared as the crowd clapped and cheered where Weiss, Blake, Ilia, Adam and Sienna had proud looks on their faces.

"That's what I'm talking about." Weiss said, high fiving them all as she walked off toward the beach, high fiving the crowd on her way by.

"So, I can imagine you had a wonderful time." Kirumi spoke as she approached.

"Yeah, it was pretty good." Weiss said. "We kicked ass like always."

"That's wonderful to hear!" Kirumi smiled, hugging her. "...Weiss, there's… something I need to confess."

"What is it?"

Kirumi looked into her eyes. "...I'm… not actually your biological mother."

Weiss stared at her, blinking… before smiling. "Yeah, I knew you weren't."

"Wait, how long did you know?"

"On my twelfth birthday, I took a good look at your hair and compared it to mine. I went into the bathroom and checked for hair dye, but I didn't see any of the sort. I concluded that you were not my biological mom… I just never had the opportunity to bring it up."

"Oh… okay. That's good to know."

"Yeah, I figured I was adopted."

"Well… you were kind of adopted."

"What do you mean?"

"The truth is… you're actually a Schnee."

"What?"

"Your real mother is Willow Schnee and your father is… Jacques."

"JACQUES?! My birth father is that asshole?!"

"Yes." Kirumi nodded.

"So… I'm not really a Tojo-Belladonna? I'm just… a Schnee?"

"Yes…"

"...How bad was it?"

"Huh?"

"How bad was Jacques that I had to be removed?"

"When you were about a few weeks old. Your father was making the place a toxic environment for everyone and your mother didn't want to expose you to that. So we hurried outside and she appointed me to watch over you. We came to Menagerie, the both of us."

Weiss said nothing, a shadow cast over her eyes as Kirumi closed her eyes. "I understand if you probably hate me, but I just wanted to let you kno-" Weiss hugged her. "Huh?"

"I don't hate you… in fact…" The shadow disappeared, showing off tears. "I still love you, and even if you're not my real mother… you're still my number one mom."

Kirumi's eyes widened, tearing up. "Weiss…" She immediately hugged her back. "Oh honey, I'm touched that you still think of me as your mom."

"You always will be to me." She said, kissing her on the cheek. "Who cares if I'm a Schnee? I'm a Tojo-Belladonna… and I always will be."

"Honey… my darling baby girl…" Kirumi gently squeezed her. "I love you."

"I love you too, mom."

Later into the night…

"You… took that rather well." Blake said as she, Weiss, Adam and Ilia were sitting on the roof.

"I know. But honestly… I'm still trying to grasp that my father is that horrible man." Weiss said. "And… part of me is wondering what my real mother was like, but… I'm glad they got me out of there. I don't care if she's not my biological mother, she'll always be my mom to me."

"Schnee Tojo-Belladonna… that's a mouthful." Ilia teased.

Weiss snickered. "It is, honestly… but I'm okay with it. I don't feel like a Schnee to begin with… and I'm okay with that."

Blake smiled. "Yeah, just don't worry about it, ya know?"

"Indeed." Adam nodded. "If anything, sticking it to Jacques is the best thing to do."

"Soooooo… considering you and your mom are from Atlas, is she okay with us stealing the SDC shipments?" Ilia asked.

"I asked her that a half an hour ago."

"Are you kidding? Normally, I would be but considering it's Jacques, I'd say keep doing it. That's the best thing that's ever happened to him!"

"She seems pretty proud that I'm sticking it to him."

"Who wouldn't?" Blake chuckled.

"Guys, dinner's ready!" Kali called out.

"Ah good, I was wondering when it'd be done." Weiss said as they hopped off the roof as they walked inside.

A few days later…

"Wait… what on…?!" Weiss exclaimed as she looked through her scroll. "I got accepted to Beacon Academy?!"

"You're not the only one." Blake said. "I got in too."

"What about Adam and Ilia?"

"Unfortunately, we didn't get ours." Adam said.

"Yeah… that's unfortunate." Ilia nodded.

"We'll be okay." Adam said. "We're caught in the groove over the thousands of dust shipments that we're getting so we'll be fine."

"Okay." Weiss nodded. "Hey mom?"

"I heard, sweetie." Kirumi said as she hugged her. "I'll be here cheering you on from the sidelines."

Weiss smiled as she hugged her. "Thank you for everything… I'll be back before you know it."

"I'll be waiting." Kirumi smiled sweetly as she and Blake went to gather their things, hugging the Belladonnas and Sienna as they hurried off to the ship waiting to take them to Beacon. Unaware of them though, Adam decided to sneak aboard the ship.

"Adam?!" Ilia said in surprise before sighing, shaking her head. "Still wanting to be her bodyguard, I see."

Way later, during the entrance exam…

"Okay, let's see…" Weiss said as she looked around the Forever Forest. "Blake should be around here somewhere…"

"Hellooooo? Yang? Where are you!" A voice called out as Weiss bumped right into Ruby. "Oh!"

"Oh, I know you. You're that red head who faceplanted in the courtyard, right?"

"I didn't faceplant… My sister, Yang, just left me hanging and spun me around! …I just happened to land on my face."

Weiss snickered. "Well… maybe we'll find that sister of yours together. After all, we're a team now."

"We're what? Oh right, we are a team! I was hoping to locate Yang first…" Ruby laughed. "Anyway, I'm Ruby Rose!"

"Weiss Tojo-Belladonna." She fist bumped Ruby. "Let's go find this Yang of yours."

"Wooooow! You are totally awesome! Can we be best friends?"

"I already have a best friend. Her name's Blake."

Cold much?! Ruby thought in disbelief.

Weiss gave her a teasing smile. "Just kidding, I wouldn't mind being besties with you."

"Booyah!" Ruby fist pumped as the two walked off together. "Soooo, what's your semblance?"

"Glyphs. How about you?"

"Speed!"

"Nice. Now let's go."

As they walked, Ruby would notice the White Fang logo on her shirt. "Ah, you're a White Fang defender, I take it."

"A White Fang Defender? Honey, please… I'm part of the White Fang!"

Ruby gasped. "Wait! You're THE human in the White Fang that everyone's talking about?!"

"Yes."

Ruby's eyes sparkled. "OH MY GOSH MY BEST FRIEND GOT EVEN COOLER!" She grinned. "Come on, we must find Yang and tell her!" She grabbed her wrist and used her semblance.

"WHOOOOOOA!"

Later…

"Uh… chess pieces?" Yang wondered, rubbing her head and turned to Blake. "How about a cute little pony?"

"Sure, I'm game for that."

"Heeeeey, Yang!" Ruby called out to them as Yang turned around to see them.

"Hey, Rubes! Who's your-"

"Weiss!" Blake waved her over.

"Wait, Weiss?!" Yang said in surprise as the two embraced. "As in the same Weiss who's a part of the White Fang? That Weiss?"

"The very same."

"Ooooh, nice! …Ya know, I hear you're strong!" Yang put her elbow on a pedestal. "Come on, arm wrestle me! I wanna see if you're all that!"

Weiss smirked. "Very well." She nodded, putting her hand on the pedestal and clasping Yang's hand. The two of them started to struggle immediately.

"Heh, you're pretty tough, Weiss! Finally, someone who can prove a challenge compared to Ruby's wimpy muscles."

"Hey!"

Yang started to move Weiss's arm down. "That said… it looks like I'm winning!"

"Oh, are you now?" Weiss smirked as she suddenly turned the tables and slammed her hand down on the pedestal.

"HUH?!"

"I was just getting a feel of your strength."

"The only one who she can't beat is my father." Blake said.

"The great arm wrestling Xiao Long… defeated…!" Yang sulked before laughing. "I like ya!"

Weiss smiled. "Thank you. Now let's hurry up and-"

Suddenly, they heard rustling as they would see an Ursa scrambling out of the bushes until it fell over, where they would see Nora sitting on top of it.

"Aww… it's broken…" Nora pouted.

"Hah… hah…" Ren leaned against the Ursa. "Nora… never do that again…"

Nora spotted the relics, gasping as she ran over and picked up the Queen piece. "I'm queen of the castle~! I'm queen of the castle~!"

"NORA!"

Nora turned to the four. "Hey, how ya doin'? …Wait a moment…" Nora got closer to Weiss, checking her out as she rubbed her chin in thought. "Aha! So you're the famous Weiss of the White Fang that I've heard so much about!"

"Yeah, that's me."

Nora immediately put her elbow on the pedestal. "Put 'er there! Those muscles look fake!"

"Oh really?" Weiss smirked, getting herself situated and clasping Nora's hand.

"These naturally born muscles and my thunder thighs will break you!" Nora declared as they both struggled to get the upper hand as Nora immediately started to gain the advantage… but like with Yang, Weiss immediately crushed her.

…Unlike Yang, however, the moment Weiss slammed her hand down, the pedestal shattered and Nora fell over.

"WAAAAH!"

"Whoops!" Weiss winced.

"I'm okay!"

At that moment, they saw a Deathstalker approach them… or more like chasing Jaune and Pyrrha. "HEEEEEELP!" Jaune yelled as Pyrrha turned around and blocked the stinger with her shield, only to get swatted away.

"I'll handle this!" Weiss said as she ran off.

"Hey, wait!" Blake chased after her as Ruby and Yang started to follow, with Ren and Nora accompanying them as the Deathstalker started to attack the group where Weiss deflected the tail with her halberd.

However, the Deathstalker quickly grabbed Weiss with its pincers. "Weiss!" Blake exclaimed as Weiss tried to break free as Nora readied her hammer… only for someone to slice through the scorpion tail. The Deathstalker roared in surprise and then was immediately impaled in the head by a sword, freeing Weiss.

"Are you okay, Weiss?"

"Huh? Adam?!"

"Adam of the White Fang?" Yang asked, taking a good look at him. "Huh… I have to say, he's kinda hunky."

"Really? That's what you're going with?" Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"Look at those eyes, Rubes! They look so dreamy…"

"...Uh… eyes don't dream, weirdo!"

"What the heck are you doing here?" Blake asked. "...Wait, don't tell me… you wanted to be her protector, didn't you?"

"You knew?"

"Ilia told me."

"Wait, he's taken?! Aww…" Yang pouted.

"Maybe next time, sis." Ruby patted her on the back.

Weiss shook her head. "Even I know. It was kinda obvious… but I'm flattered nonetheless." She said, pulling him in for a hug.

Later…

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Tojo-Belladonna, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. Your team name will be RWBY. Team leader: Ruby." Ozpin said.

"Huh?!" Ruby said in surprise as Weiss smiled, clapping for her while Yang hugged her happily. "Um… thank you…"

"I think this is going to be an… interesting year." Ozpin mused as they all dispersed right after.

"Alriiiiight, I dunno about you but I'm feeling up for some celebratory ice cream!" Yang cheered.

"I wouldn't mind some of that!" Blake said.

"Yeah, you guys go on ahead, I'll catch up." Ruby said as Yang and Blake took off while Ruby walked a different way. Weiss immediately noticed this and walked after her, where she saw Ruby lean on a railing.

"You okay?"

"It's… funny. I wanted to be on a team with my sister, but I never imagined I'd be team leader." She gripped the railing as tight as she could. "But it's just…"

"You don't feel ready?"

Ruby turned her head. "Yeah… if anything, you'd make a better leader than I would. I just-"

"Hold on a moment, Ruby. Don't go giving up just yet. Yes, you're a bit younger than us, but I don't care. You have a lot of potential."

"Says the woman who's part of the White Fang. You're as fearless as they come…"

"Yeah, well, I'm no leader material. Usually when we do heists, it's typically either Ilia or Sienna leading the operation. I tried it once and it almost got a few members of the White Fang killed. They didn't hold it against me though, it was my first time and they said "Practice makes perfect", but… here's the thing. I'd rather be on the front lines than hanging back barking orders. It seems to be my speciality along with Blake and Adam."

Weiss put a comforting hand on Ruby's shoulder. "You're gonna be great… sure, you'll make mistakes but you'll learn from them. That's part of growing up after all. You got what it takes, team leader." She gave her a wink.

Ruby smiled. "Thanks, Weiss… by the way, why's he your bodyguard?"

"He's got a crush on me, but he also knows I'm not really into him."

"One of these days!" Adam spoke up.

Weiss shook her head with a chuckle. "Come on, let's go clear your mind with ice cream. You'll be a great team leader."

"Okay!" Ruby nodded.

"Adam, do you want to come with?"

"Sure, I'll take a Rocky Road."

Ruby smiled. "Come on, Weiss Fang! Let's go!"

"Weiss Fang?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

Ruby grinned. "I came up with the nickname on the spot. What do you think?"

"That is so cheesy… and yet, I love it." Weiss chuckled as she walked off. Ruby breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a notebook from her pocket.

Weiss Fang

"Yang, you gotta keep a better eye on your stuff." Ruby snickered, sneakily hiding it and walked after Weiss.

Meanwhile, in Atlas…

"Sir!" A soldier walked over to Jacques. "We just received intel on Beacon Academy."

"What about that low life academy?"

"So um… you know Weiss?"

"Weiss… haven't heard that name in ages. The heiress to the SDC tragically dying so young. What about her?" He asked, taking a sip of his wine.

"She's at Beacon Academy."

Jacques did a spit take. "WHAT?"

"And she has a logo on the back of her tank top that resembles the White Fang. We've also received intel that she triggered the face recognition alarm on the train on the White Fang's latest heist."

"Show me!" He ordered as the soldier brought up a video of her.

"Hold on a second!"

"What's up?"

"There's a device here… I'm not sure what it is, but apparently it's an alarm."

"An alarm? For what?"

"Intruder, identify yourself!"

"For that, apparently!"

Jacques rewound it and stared at Weiss's face. He clenched his fists, flashing back to Weiss's baby face and growled, his face turning red.

"So SHE'S responsible for all the dust that's being taken to Menagerie?! Unacceptable! Bring her to me at once!"

"That's going to be a problem. She's strong and has a halberd-shotgun. It's going to be hell to try to contain her."

"...Then we'll get her attention. But first!"

He marched out of his office where he would see Willow admiring the fountain. "WILLOW!"

"Hmm? Oh hello "dear"."

"You have some explaining to do!"

"About what?"

Jacques showed her the video in question. "You see that! That is our supposedly dead daughter Weiss!"

Willow faked a gasp. "Our daughter lived? Oh, I am sho-"

SLAP!

Jacques glared at her. "You sent her to that pig farm, didn't you? And if that rebellious daughter of ours is there, then so is that garbage sack of a maid!"

Willow rubbed her cheek calmly. "So what if I did? You were being an ass so I had to take her out of this toxic environment. I tasked Kirumi to keep her there. And honestly, if Menagerie is outpacing the SDC, then… well… I suppose Weiss is doing a wonderful job."

"I will not stand for this insubordination, Willow!"

Willow smiled. "Oh "honey", is your precious castle falling apart? It's just a matter of time before you fall as well." She chuckled. "Oh, and by the way…"

She opened up a bottle of wine and splashed it all over Jacques. "Agh!"

"The only pig farm here is you, you filthy animal." Willow walked off.

"Rrrgh… I had JUST bought this, you know! It was a really expensive one too!"

"The red wine really brings it together!"

Jacques' eye twitched as he marched back to the mansion. "Make it look like an accident, I'm going to teach my daughter a lesson!"

A few weeks later…

An Atlesian soldier walked straight into a Faunus owned Dust store. He looked incredibly nervous and started to sweat nervously as a cheetah faunus approached him.

"Hey, welcome to the White Fang's Dust 'Til Midnight store. How can I help ya?" He asked.

The soldier gulped nervously. "I am so sorry."

"Sorry about what?" He asked, and then the soldier pulled out a detonator.

"...Forgive me." He pressed the button, where his armor lit up and exploded, engulfing the entire store and killing innocent people within the store.

And unfortunately, it wasn't the only bombing that happened as multiple stores were engulfed in explosions.

In Beacon…

"And so I strangled this Beringel with my two hands, we were fighting to the death when I managed to gain the upper hand and-"

The entire academy shook from the amount of explosions that happened within Vale, interrupting Port's story.

"Huh?" Ruby wondered.

"Zzzz… pancakes!" Nora yelped.

"What on…?" Weiss tilted her head.

BGM: Danger! There's Trouble! - Version 4 (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX)

In Atlas…

"Breaking news! Multiple terroristic explosions engulfed several White Fang Dust stores within Vale, there have been multiple casualties within these stores and from those who were walking by peacefully. Witnesses say they saw Atlesian soldiers walking in and then the store exploding right after."

Ironwood slammed the door open. "JACQUES! What did you do?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"I did not order suicide bombings in the kingdom of Vale! You did something to their armor, didn't you?"

"What, you think I would do something to the so-called peaceful White Fang?"

"Jacques."

"Okay. I actually tinkered with their armor and told them they are to go to Vale and destroy the White Fang's Dust Shops. They had no choice… if one of them disobeyed…" He pulled out a detonator of his own. "I would light them up myself. More than likely, they would have killed a White Fang member or two."

"You have blood on your hands for this!"

"I'm only sending my daughter a message."

"Winter? What does she got to do with-" His eyes widened. "You know…"

"Yes, and I have a feeling you knew a long time ago. If Willow knew Weiss and Kirumi are alive, then that would mean Winter and Klein know about it. And I have a pretty good feeling you were asked to keep it a secret."

"Jacques! You do not understand the gravity of the situation here. I know you don't like faunus, but this is low, even for you! You hijacked our armor and-"

"Yes, your armor. That would possibly mean that all eyes are locked onto the Atlas military and I'm pretty sure this would mean that they will come for you and your daughter's head. After all, the public is starting to think the top generals of the military have ordered this bombing. So, technically, their blood is on your hands. You bombed the White Fang."

Ironwood's eyes widened. "You…"

"A lot good your two seats on the council did, didn't it? Same goes for Esdeath's seat. Personally, if I were you, I would either step down as general or face the wrath of the public and get publicly executed. I'm sure they would love to have Esdeath's head on a mount."

Ironwood growled. "If you wanted a civil war with the White Fang… you sure as hell got one."

"Most of the White Fang are on Menagerie… and I've just ordered bomber planes to carpet bomb Menagerie. Then ground troopers will parachute out and proceed to execute anyone who dares to try and defend. It was rather easy too… I've had Whitley make a voice modifier and I called the Atlas Military to unleash an airstrike on Menagerie."

"You WHAT?! You dragged Whitley into this?!"

"He's the heir to the SDC. He hates Faunus as much as I do." Jacques walked away from his desk. "And now if you'll excuse me, I have a plane to catch."

"You ordered the airstrike…"

"Technically, you did." Jacques smirked. "Just what will the council say, I wonder? They might as well call you to resign." He chuckled and walked away.

Ironwood pulled out his gun, aiming at Jacques. "Jacques, I will not tolerate-"

"Arrest or kill me, it will start to look suspicious that you decided to do something to an innocent head of the SDC after you had bombed the White Fang." Ironwood stiffened as Jacques walked away. "I can't wait for that resignation."

Ironwood growled, dropping his gun and punched a wall in frustration. "Bastard!"

Jacques walked into a Bullhead. "Alright, let's head over to Menagerie."

"Yes sir." The pilot took off flying.

Jacques smirked. "If this doesn't get Weiss's attention and get her to start running back to Menagerie… then I don't know what will."

End BGM

Back at Vale…

"What the hell is going on?!" Weiss asked as they went to a White Fang Dust shop.

"Terrorist attack…" Adam clenched his fist.

"Who would do such a thing…"

"That would probably be the SDC." A voice said as RWBY, JNPR and Adam turned to see a monkey faunus sitting on a lamp post.

"Who are you?" Adam asked.

"Ah, just a faunus passin' through." He jumped down. "Sun Wukong, nice to meet all of ya."

"How do you know this was the SDC's doing?" Weiss asked.

"Well, think about it. You guys pulled off tons of heists to make the SDC's dust shipping fall into the red, they decide to get rid of the competition. Notice how the Dust 'Til Dawn store is still standing." He said, pointing toward the distance.

"Okay…"

"Atleasian soldiers walked into those buildings and they suicide bombed everything. The whole city is under lockdown." Sun explained.

"But why would Atlas do this?" Ren asked.

"I guess they had enough of the White Fang winning all the time." Sun shrugged.

"Um… guys?" Jaune spoke up as he looked through his scroll. "Take a look at this!"

"We don't know why the Atlas Military would cause mass bombings throughout Vale, but-

"GIVE ME THAT THING!"

"Hey!"

Esdeath grabbed the microphone, shoving the news reporter to the side and looked at the camera. "We did not order that suicide bomb attack! None of us would dare to bomb the White Fang. We have Faunus in our ranks that are pro White Fang. You think they would be okay with this? Absolutely not!"

"Is that General Esdeath?" Ruby wondered.

"Jacques is responsible for this and he's pinning the blame on James Ironwood."

"Jacques?!" Weiss said in surprise.

"Weiss… if you're seeing this broadcast. I need you to listen. Jacques ordered a bombing on Menagerie and he's going to execute anyone who stands in his way-"

"What?!" Weiss, Blake and Adam yelled.

"He wants Atlas to be the number one supplier of Dust and he's had enough of the White Fang ruining his business. He wants to send a message to you, Weiss… please, whatever you do, don't let Jacques get away with this."

Weiss clenched her fists. "Mom…"

Blake growled. "Mom, dad…"

Adam unsheathed his sword. "Ilia, Sienna… everyone…"

"I don't know how you'll do it, just… knock this bastard down."

"I'd like my mic back."

"Take this and shove it!" Esdeath shoved the mic back to the news reporter and walked away.

"I don't know about you, but I'm ready to go fight for Menagerie." Adam said.

"Agreed." Weiss nodded.

"How the hell are we gonna get there in time? By the time we get there, there's going to be lots of blood on the ground!" Yang said.

"Allow me." A voice said as they turned to see Ozpin approach. "I've authorized two Bullheads to come pick you up. One of them will take you to Menagerie… and another, well… let's just say you'll be exposing Jacques. I'm sure you'll find something in the SDC."

"We'll go to the SDC." Jaune said.

"Aw yeah, we get to break stuff!" Nora fist pumped.

"We'll go to Menagerie!" Ruby declared. "Right, Weiss?"

"Yes. Let's go."

"I'll go with ya too." Sun said as the Bullheads arrived as RWBY, Adam and Sun hopped on one Bullhead as JNPR went into the other, both of them flying away.

"Good luck to you all."

Later, at Menagerie…

Kirumi looked up at the sky through her binoculars, seeing airships coming their way. "Here they come!"

"I never thought we'd get bombed over this…" Ghira growled. "And we don't have proper counterattacks since we're a peaceful island."

"Those who can fight better get ready… because I have a feeling it's going to be more than just bombing." Sienna said.

"You're right." Ghira nodded.

"Judging by their position, I'd say we got about a minute before we get bombed." Kirumi said as they all went into the Belladonna manor to prepare themselves.

"We're in position." The pilot said.

"You may fire when ready." Jacques responded as they proceeded to bomb the hell out of them, destroying everything in their path as not even the civilians who were slow to get in their homes were wiped out one by one.

The bombers then made a U turn and let loose more bombs, and then bombed them again a third time, this time hitting the White Fang Dust Distribution Company.

Once they were done, the airships landed on the ground as Jacques walked out and saw heavy smoke and fires everywhere. He smirked as the soldiers came out. "Execute."

At the SDC…

A bodyguard walked around the mansion, letting out a yawn while above him, a vent opened up.

BGM: Three Days To Live (Team Fortress 2)

He was unaware of Nora, decked out in spy gear and had heart shaped goggles over her eyes, lowering herself upside down.

The bodyguard's nose twitched and sneezed.

"Ah, hayfever. That'll do a number on ya."

"Yeah… HUH?!" He turned around, only to get a hammer to his teeth and sent him flying toward a wall.

Nora hopped down. "Okay, i'm in position."

"Ren, remind me why Nora had spy gear in her pocket?" Pyrrha asked from Nora's walkie talkie.

"She said she always wanted to do something like this."

Nora looked through her goggles. "Let's see… where would his belongings be… aha!"

"What was that noise?"

"I dunno, we better check."

Nora smirked, hiding in the shadows as two bodyguards entered the area, their weapons drawn… and then Nora switched to grenade launcher mode and shot at the two.

Outside, everyone sweatdropped when they heard explosions.

"She… does know how stealth works, right?" Sun asked.

"I'm not leaving any unidentifiable traces with my weapon, so I'm free to wreck things up as I please~!"

"...What." Sun blinked.

"It's Nora, don't question it." Ren said.

Nora walked through the shadows until she found Jacques' office. "Aha!" She walked in, closing the door behind her. "Now let's see…" She looked up to see a security camera in the corner of the room. She aimed and fired at it to destroy it.

"I'm sure there was a conversation here somewhere…" She said, turning on Jacques' computer.

Password required

Nora grinned, pulling out a USB drive and inserting it into the computer, where she would see a miniature version of herself hammering the lock and destroying the password protector. The figure turned around and gave a thumbs up while sticking her tongue out at the side.

"Now that is how you hack~!"

Nora immediately looked through the files, finding the video footage in question.

End BGM

"JACQUES! What did you do?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"I did not order suicide bombings in the kingdom of Vale! You did something to their armor, didn't you?"

"What, you think I would do something to the so-called peaceful White Fang?"

"Jacques."

"Okay. I actually tinkered with their armor and told them they are to go to Vale and destroy the White Fang's Dust Shops. They had no choice… if one of them disobeyed… I would light them up myself. More than likely, they would have killed a White Fang member or two."

"Winter? What does she got to do with- You know…"

After all, the public is starting to think the top generals of the military have ordered this bombing. So, technically, their blood is on your hands. You bombed the White Fang."

"You…"

"If you wanted a civil war with the White Fang… you sure as hell got one."

"You WHAT?! You dragged Whitley into this?!"

"He's the heir to the SDC. He hates Faunus as much as I do. And now if you'll excuse me, I have a plane to catch."

"You ordered the airstrike…"

"Technically, you did. Just what will the council say, I wonder? They might as well call you to resign."

"Jacques, I will not tolerate-"

"Arrest or kill me, it will start to look suspicious that you decided to do something to an innocent head of the SDC after you had bombed the White Fang. I can't wait for that resignation."

"Hook, line, and sinker!" Nora smirked as she cracked her knuckles. "It would be such a shame if this were to… leak out onto the internet~" She pressed a button.

Sending to the Vale News Network - One Percent

"Ooops~" Nora smirked smugly.

She then reached into the walkie talkie. "Mission accomplished. It's leaking out to the public as we speak."

"Excellent. So you're on your way out?" Jaune asked.

"I might find a way to blow this place up… I dunno."

"If you're looking to blow something up-"

Nora turned to see Whitley leaning on a door. "Perhaps I could lead you in the right direction."

"Who are you?"

"Whitley Schnee, heir to the SDC… or at least, I was."

"What do you mean?"

"Throughout my life, father told me everything about the Faunus, how they're scum and all that. I believed him… but something changed. When General Esdeath told the whole world that he was going to bomb Menagerie… I decided to look into things. I found that conversation and I was floored. I knew he hated Faunus… but to bomb innocent lives? I, too, hated the White Fang but knowing he'd go this far…"

Whitley clenched his fists. "I don't want to take over with this massive stain on the company. I'd rather have a full clean slate. Besides… I knew something was fishy when mom "accidentally" died."

"Yeah, about that-" A voice said as they turned to see an Atlesian soldier leaning on the doorway, taking off the helmet to reveal Willow.

"Mom?!"

"Please, even I knew he would try to get rid of me by making my death look like an accident. So… Klein had a mannequin in place, and we both watched my "execution" play out. After that, we took out the executioner and I put the armor on. I went undercover, wondering what he'd do next." She clenched her fists. "I never thought he'd stoop to bombing."

She then pulled Whitley into a hug. "I'm sorry, honey…"

"No, no… you did the right thing." He said.

"Aww…" Nora smiled.

"Honestly, I'd rather start anew as well." Willow said. "Start fresh…"

"I agree." Klein walked in. "I feel like we could all use a fresh change."

"Soooo, you gonna show me where I can find a way to blow this place up?" Nora asked.

"I will be right back." Klein said as he walked away.

A few minutes later…

Klein set down explosive barrels and dynamite, putting down a line of gunpowder in its way. "There we go. This will definitely blow this place to smithereens."

"How's it looking, Nora?" Whitley asked.

"Ninety nine percent…"

They heard footsteps as Whitley turned around to see JPR and Sun approach. "Oh, these must be your friends."

"We got worried." Jaune admitted. "We're blowing this place to the ground?"

"Indeed!" Klein smiled.

"A hundred percent! It's now fully leaked for the whole wide web to see this in action!" Nora grinned.

Klein pulled out a match. "Care to do the honors, Ms. Valkyrie?"

Nora's eyes sparkled as she took the match and struck it, lighting it up. She dropped the match onto the gunpowder, lighting it up as it moved its way to the bombs. "Move it, people! MOVE!" She yelled as they took off running.

The moment they ran out the front doors, a large explosion covered the entire mansion, glass flying everywhere as they would look to see fire engulfing what remained of the mansion.

"Well… that's one way to do it." Ren said.

"Stealth mission complete~!" Nora fist pumped.

"I wouldn't necessarily call this a stealth mission…" Sun said. "I'd say it's more… search and destroy."

"I call it Valkyrie stealth, leave nothing behind and there won't be anything to report on!" Nora grinned.

Sun sweatdropped. "What?"

"No no, she's got a point." Jaune said with Pyrrha and Ren nodding in agreement.

"I… oh… I suppose so…"

Meanwhile, with RWBY and Adam…

The bullhead landed on the ground as they would hear screaming and gunfire. It was enough to break Weiss and Blake's hearts… while Adam growled in anger. "Let's move." He said.

"Right behind you." Weiss nodded as the trio ran off, leaving Ruby and Yang behind.

"Hey, wait up!" Ruby said as she and Yang ran after.

Jacques held his arms behind his back, watching some troops round up some Faunus kids. "Execu-"

Suddenly, Ilia ran in and swung her weapon into the soldiers to knock them down along with Sienna. Ghira threw a soldier to a tree while Kali and Kirumi dropped down from trees and sweep kicked the soldiers down.

Jacques grabbed a soldier's gun, aiming it at Kirumi. "I'll deal with this one myself." He pulled the trigger.

"Nnngh!" Kirumi grunted, holding on to her shoulder as she looked on to see Jacques. "You…"

"Good evening, Kirumi. I see you're still alive."

"So what?"

"I'm sure this operation has caught Weiss's attention, and I'm sure that she's on her way right now. Then she and I will have a nice long talk…"

"You mean you'll kill her." Kirumi glared.

"I'm just going to make an example out of her, maybe she'll realize what it means to steal from her father."

"You're not her father! After what you've done, I doubt she'd want to have a pleasant family reunion."

"Is that so? Well… I wonder what'll happen if I put down the maid who raised her."

He pulled the trigger once more, but Kirumi rolled out of the way, quickly charging at Jacques as she slid underneath another bullet and sprang up, spin kicking Jacques in the side to knock him down to the ground.

Jacques responded by shooting her in the gut. "Nnngh!" She grunted, falling on her butt as her aura fizzled.

"Now… to put you down."

"STOP!"

Jacques turned his head, glancing over to see Weiss glaring at him, along with Blake and Adam. "Ah… Weiss."

"That's far enough, Jacques!" Weiss said. "Just what are you going to gain out of all of this?"

"I would ask you the same thing, daughter."

Weiss scoffed. "You're not my father, after all the horrible things I've heard you do, I'm glad my mom kept me from you!"

"Your mother is dead!"

"Not the one who raised me!" Weiss glared. "...So you killed my biological mother."

"I didn't kill her at all. She fell off her balcony."

"You pushed her!"

"Whatever the case, Willow is dead… along with your White Fang friends. How many people will you leave to die for your twisted game, Weiss? You were raised better than that."

"I was raised to make a difference. And by golly, we're making a huge difference. What you're doing right now isn't out of spite. You're doing this out of panic because the Faunus are better at dust distribution than you!"

"Faunus don't deserve to live! They're all freaks of nature who deserve to be put on chains and wallow in the dust mines!" Jacques said. "So what If I bombed this place! It's a statement that the SDC is not to be trifled with."

"No. You're making a statement that you're nothing more than a filthy coward." Adam said.

"Says the Faunus who steal our dust!" Jacques spat and looked at Weiss. "Weiss. You come with me right this instant and I will forgive all of your transgressions. We can start over… and I will have you as the heiress once again. Weiss Schnee, the heiress of the SDC!"

"I'm not a Schnee… i'm a Tojo-Belladonna, and I'm not going to listen to your bullshit. No offense, Adam."

"Meh, I've heard worse."

Jacques scowled. "You truly disappoint me. You are one of them. A freak of nature just like the rest!"

"I'd rather be a freak of nature than be a damn coward!"

Jacques aimed his gun at Weiss. "Any last words, Weiss?"

"Hey!" Yang spoke up as she pulled out her scroll. "Let's see where your little monologue gets ya!" She said, turning the volume up.

"We had just received word that the Ironwoods are innocent! It turns out that Jacques Schnee, the head of the SDC was responsible for this horrific attack against the White Fang. Some leaked footage was uploaded just a few minutes ago. Allow us to play the clip."

"JACQUES! What did you do?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"I did not order suicide bombings in the kingdom of Vale! You did something to their armor, didn't you?"

"What, you think I would do something to the so-called peaceful White Fang?"

"Jacques."

Jacques' eyes widened, his mouth open in horror. "No…!"

"You have blood on your hands for this!"

"I'm only sending my daughter a message."

"Winter? What does she got to do with- You know…"

"Jacques! You do not understand the gravity of the situation here. I know you don't like faunus, but this is low, even for you! You hijacked our armor and-"

The soldiers turned to stare at Jacques. Weiss simply smirked while sweat rolled down Jacques's face

"You…"

"If you wanted a civil war with the White Fang… you sure as hell got one."

Several soldiers dropped their weapons, a few picked up the Faunus kids, hugged them and sent them on their way… one of them walking over and kicking Jacques in the shin. "OOMPH!"

"You WHAT?! You dragged Whitley into this?!"

"He's the heir to the SDC. He hates Faunus as much as I do. And now if you'll excuse me, I have a plane to catch."

"You ordered the airstrike…"

"Technically, you did. Just what will the council say, I wonder? They might as well call you to resign."

"Jacques, I will not tolerate-"

"Arrest or kill me, it will start to look suspicious that you decided to do something to an innocent head of the SDC after you had bombed the White Fang. I can't wait for that resignation."

"Boom! Mic drop!" Ruby grinned as Yang put her scroll away with a chuckle.

"Wha- how did… how that leak to the public?!"

"What's wrong, Jacques? You were all confident a second ago." Weiss smirked.

BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)

"...If you think I'm just going to take this sitting down…" Jacques swiftly aimed his gun at Weiss. "YOU'RE WRONG!"

He fired, but Blake instinctively pushed Weiss down and took the blaster to the chest. "Agh!"

"Blake!" Weiss yelled as Jacques fired against, only for Adam to block with his sword.

Kirumi sprang back up and grappled Jacques as he tried to get her off of him… only for Weiss to run over and slugged him in the face, sending him flying off of Kirumi's grip.

"You okay?"

"Just a bit shaken up." Kirumi winked as Weiss turned to Jacques. He aimed his gun, but Weiss swiftly brought out her halberd-shotgun and shot the gun off of his hand.

Weiss switched to the halberd mode and lunged at Jacques. He swiftly grabbed a soldier and used him as a shield where Weiss accidentally embedded the axe into his gut.

Weiss gasped as the soldier fell over, then Jacques quickly disappeared in the woods. Weiss looked up and quickly chased after him.

"Weiss, wait!" Kali exclaimed, but Weiss had disappeared.

End BGM

Weiss looked around in the forest, aiming her weapon into the darkness. She looked up at the trees, then climbed up to the top of a tree branch.

Where are you… Weiss thought, unaware of Jacques slowly revealing himself behind her and then grabbed her from behind. "Mmph!" Weiss growled as she stomped on her foot and elbowed him, turning around…

…To see her shotgun pointed at her face.

BGM: The Gorillas (Tarzan) (Start at 3:02)

"You disappoint me. I gave you a chance and you spat in my face."

"If I go with you, I wouldn't have the freedom I always had. Forget it, Jacques… you're more of a freak of nature than the Faunus."

"I don't see the point of befriending beasts… and you're one of them! If you won't see reason, then I won't be afraid to put my own daughter down."

"Kirumi is a better parent than you ever will!"

Jacques growled, pulling the trigger but Weiss instinctively ducked and sweep kicked him.

She then turned around and ran off the branch, grabbing onto a vine and climbed up and jumped between vines where Jacques had got back up and shot her, hitting the vine that made it break as she was in mid swing, where she slammed into a tree branch with her gut. "MMPH!"

She fell onto another tree branch, slamming into it hard enough for her aura to nearly shatter as a result.

Jacques smirked, quickly grabbing onto a vine and swinging over, reaching to the next one. Weiss got up and jumped onto a vine and swung over to another, then climbed up and reaching over to a tree branch.

Jacques did the same thing, deciding to go for some jumbled up vines to flank her. However, as he went to the jumbled mess…

"Agh!" Jacques grunted, finding himself get tangled up.

"What's wrong, a little tied up?" Weiss mocked as Jacques growled, aiming the shotgun and firing. It missed, but it hit the tree branch she was standing on, causing it to crack.

"Rrrgh!" Jacques used the halberd to cut through the vines, but as he did, one vine managed to wrap itself around his neck… not that he bothered to notice.

Weiss's eyes widened. "Jacques, wait! You're gonna-"

The tree branch gave way, causing her to fall right at the same time as Jacques started falling as well, the latter screaming… until the vine abruptly snapped straight right as Weiss slammed into the ground, her aura shattering upon impact.

End BGM

"Nnngh…" Weiss staggered to her feet, as the moon light shined through the woods, illuminating Jacques's lifeless shadow on the tree.

"Ooooh…" Weiss grimaced, picking up her weapon on the ground.

"Weiss? Weiss, where are you?"

"I'm over here, Blake!" Weiss said as the two found each other and embraced one another.

"You okay? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Just a bit bruised, but I'll be okay." She said.

"What happened to Jacques?"

"Oh, he's… hanging around."

Blake raised an eyebrow before it dawned on her. "Oh…"

The next morning…

A few Bullheads landed on the ground as JNPR, Sun, Willow, Whitley, Klein, Winter, Ironwood and Esdeath walked out of one and Ozpin walked out of another.

"So, I've been meaning to ask. What the heck is the name of your weapon?" Ruby asked as they were helping rebuild.

"Shiroikori."

"Oh! Yeah, that sounds nice."

"Hey, I found another survivor over here!" Ilia called out as Yang and Sienna pulled the survivor out.

"Weiss?"

Weiss turned around, seeing Willow in front of her. "...Mom?" Weiss asked, immediately tearing up where they hugged one another.

"Oh, honey, you've grown so much." Willow smiled, looking at her with a smile before checking out her arms. "...In more ways than one… do you have a six pack underneath that tank top?"

Weiss laughed. "Yeah. I tend to work out."

"You're more built than I am… I'm admittedly a little jealous." Winter teased.

"So you must be Winter." Weiss said before turning to Whitley. "And… who are you?"

"Whitley."

"Your father decided to make another child as soon as you were "dead"." Klein said.

"...Wow, that's… a bit much." Weiss shook her head. "Oh well… I guess it is what it is."

Ironwood approached Ghira. "I hear you've made quite the haul with the Dust."

"Well, you can thank the White Fang for that."

"Indeed." Ironwood looked over at ehat was left of the Dust Company. "We can rebuild it."

"Yes. We will."

"Might I suggest something?" Esdeath spoke up. "How about make it a joint Dust Company? The Schnee-White Fang Dust Company? I'm sure the Schnee's want to start anew."

"I was just about to suggest that." Ozpin said.

"Yes, I think that will be advisable." Ironwood nodded.

"But what about the Schnee mansion?" Ghira asked.

"Let's just say… an explosive stealth mission played out." Ironwood said

"It's not a stealth mission!" Sun said.

"Not with that attitude!" Nora giggled with a grin.

Kirumi walked over to Weiss. "I see you reunited with your mother."

"Yeah." She nodded. "But you know what? You'll always be my first mother to me." She said, hugging her as Kirumi hugged her back with a smile. "Plus, I got two moms now, so this is a bonus~!"

Kirumi laughed. "Oh honey, what am I going to do with you?" She said as the two broke the hug as Kirumi hugged the rest of the family, including her uncle.

Weiss walked over to the beach, looking over the ocean. "You alright?" Blake asked.

"Yeah… I kinda feel sad that the one time I meet my so-called father, he was a massive jackass…"

"Well, it could've been worse if you stayed with him."

"Yeah." Weiss nodded as Blake slowly reached over, grabbing her hand as Weiss returned the favor. "We'll definitely rebuild."

"Yeah, we're the White Fang. Nothing can keep us down."

Behind them, Adam sat down on a rock as Ilia approached him. "Told you it wouldn't work out."

"Eh, it is what it is." Adam shrugged. "You're not too torn up over Blake, are you?"

"Mmm… I don't want to interrupt their happiness." She said. "I'll find someone else… hopefully."

"We both will."

Ilia smiled. "Yeah."

"Hey! Weiss Fang! Blake! You guys going to help out or not?" Yang called out.

"Coming!" Weiss chuckled. "Weiss Fang, that's so cheesy…"

"Fitting for someone like you." Blake teased and walked off.

"Hey!" Weiss laughed and chased after her as Adam and Ilia walked after them.

"And that will wrap things up. Until next time!"

Ibuki: Yeesh, so if Weiss-chan wasn't around, Jacques would have been more villainous? Geez.

Deadpool: That death couldn't have happened to a better person!
