Evening Fight with the Fangs!

"Okay, it's been three days since Blake and Makoto left the academy and my sisters' team will be going out to look out her." Daidouji informed.

"Don't you think we should help them?" Jotaro asked Dante.

"I'm sure everything is fine; Makoto will let us know if Blake is gonna do something and see if we can step in." Dante shrugged.

Then Yang burst in the room by literally kicking the door open.

"Hey there, cutie, we were just talking about your teammate." Dante greeted.

"And you're going to help us look for them." Yang said.

"Yeah, we could really use more help and figure you want to know how Makoto is doing." Ruby said walking in the room with Weiss behind her who looks annoyed of this.

"(Looks like Weiss still has a lot to think about.)" Jotaro thought.

"Come on, let's go search Vale!" Ruby declared.

(With Sun, Makoto, and Blake)

"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" Sun said which earn a glare from Blake.

"Yeah, like that."

"Not to mention the cute little mouse toy I got her didn't get her talking much." Makoto held a little mouse toy and threw it away.

"So, have you heard of the White Fangs before, Sun?" Blake asked.

"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!" Sun answered honestly.

"Even I told you that three days ago." Makoto reminded.

"I was once a member of the White Fang." Blake revealed causing Sun to nearly choke on his tea, Makoto didn't react much as she had a feeling that Blake was involved with the White Fang.

"Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!" Sun shocked.

"That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..." Blake said.

"Because of your dad, Ghira Belladonna, former leader of the White Fang years ago, isn't it?" Makoto asked shocking Blake.

"It wasn't that hard to look up your last name." Makoto shrugged.

"Yep, my dad was actually the founder of the White Fang. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus." Blake explained as she recalls all the protest and the shouting she used to be a part as a little girl.

"Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist." Blake said looking sad.

"I was really hard for you guys, I was lucky to found myself some good friends who excepted for me what and who am I as an equally back in Atlas." Makoto mentioned thinking about her friends back in Atlas, wondering how they're doing right now.

"Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear." Blake mentioned as she drinks her tea and put the cup down.

"Yeah, I heard about the suddenly change and I think a few White Fangs were not happy about it." Makoto worried, Blake nod.

"So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." Blake looked up at her black bow twitching from her cat ears.

"So... have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asked, Blake didn't say anything as she looks away though that gave him and Makoto the answer.

(Later)

"So, what's the plan now?" Sun asked.

"Still wondering about the connection between those Dust shops robbery and the White Fang." Makoto guessed.

"Yes. I still don't think they're behind them, they never needed that much Dusts before, and I can't understand why." Blake pointed out.

"What if they did?" Sun asked getting the girls' attention.

"I mean... the only way to prove that they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there! Right?" Sun theorized.

"I believe the word you are looking for is a stakeout." Makoto giggled.

"Yeah, that's putting it better than in my head." Sun chuckled.

"The only thing is, I've no idea where that would be." Blake said.

"It would have to be somewhere where there's going to be a lot of Dusts in one place." Makoto added.

"Well, while I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas." Sun informed.

"How huge?" Blake asked curious.

"Huge. Big Schnee Company freighter." Sun answered.

"Kinda figures since Weiss's dad is rumored to be abusing Faunus in Dusts mines." Makoto said.

"Then we better get ourselves." Blake determined to see if the White Fang really are behind it or not. Even though deep down she knew otherwise.

(With Yang, Weiss, Jotaro, and Daidouji)

"Thanks anyway." Yang said as she and the others exit a shop after asking about Blake's whereabouts.

"That's another search lost." Daidouji sighed.

Jotaro notice Weiss is actually looking concern with a sad mouth.

"You really worry about Blake hating you if we find her, do you?" Jotaro asked.

"…Maybe. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her." Weiss said as she walks away.

"The innocent never run, Jotaro." Weiss said leaving the others in thought as Jotaro knew where she's going with it.

(With Dante, Ruby, and Penny)

Dante and Ruby are walking along the street with their new friend Penny who joined them in the search for Blake.

"And I sent Makoto to keep an eye on Blake until she decides to come back." Dante finished explaining the situation to Penny.

"I see, so your friends are having trouble with each other and… hate each other." Penny wondered.

"I don't think so, I just she talked to us before she decided to run off." Ruby worried.

"I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things." Penny stated.

"Sometimes talking may not be what they want for a while, but I'm sure they'll be willing to open up given enough time." Dante advised then he felt his Scroll vibrating. He pulls it put of his pocket and see he got a text from Makoto telling him about a stakeout.

"Is it from Makoto?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah, looks like she and Blake along with Sun are going out for a late-night sightseeing." Dante said, confusing Ruby and Penny.

(Nighttime, Warehouse Area)

Blake, Sun, and Makoto are laying low on top of a building right next to the warehouse area where the bug cargos of Schnee Company Dusts are being loaded off and are now just sitting there, it's been three hours since the stakeout started and so far nothing happened.

"So, boring…" Makoto complained as she eats an apple Sun got for her and Blake.

"I'm sure we'll see something soon." Sun hoped.

And his wish has been answered when they hear a loud engine noise coming from above, they look up to see a Bullhead coming down landing on the ground near the cargos and opening its hatch letting out a bunch of people wearing white metal-like armor and bears a certain symbol that Blake instantly recognizes.

"Oh no…" Blake shocked.

"That's them, isn't it?" Sun asked.

"Yes… it's them." Blake admitted sadly as the White Fang soldiers start getting to work.

"It's not easy handling the truth." Makoto said.

"Hey! What's the holdup!?" A man shouted.

The three saw the man coming out of the Bullhead and are shock to see it's a human man.

"Oh, relax, Roman, I'm sure they'll get the job done." Another man said creepy happy.

The first man, named Roman, has slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. He wears 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.

The second man has bright green hair and an ever-present smile with his eyes closed, belying a demonic nature. He wears a simple black suit with a white shirt underneath, short brown gloves, and brown steel-toed shoes. He dons a pair of black trousers held up by two brown belts. He completes the outfit with a black fedora hat to close the shady visage.

"Tell that to your lady friend that she wants as many of these as possible, so we need to pick up the pace, Hazama." Roman reminded.

"Roman Torchwick, the famous thief around Remnant and Hazama, the ex-Detective turned traitor of Atlas. I never expected them to be here." Makoto surprised.

"This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like those two." Blake glared before jumping off the roof.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Sun asked gasps.

Roman is talking to a White Fang solider about getting the Dusts from the cargos, Blake suddenly appear behind him holding her blade close to his neck.

"Nobody moves!" Blake shouted.

"Oh my, didn't expect an unexpected company." Hazama smirked.

"Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?" Blake asked as she removes her bow revealing her cat ears.

"Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?" Roman chuckled.

"What are you talking about?" Blake demanded.

"The White Fang have decided to join up with a little group of my, and we don't need a stray cat in the way." Hazama grabbed Blake on the face from behind and slams her to the ground.

"Oh, and our group isn't exactly a "little" operation." Hazama smirked and two more Bullheads appear.

"Then how about a Big Bang to the face!"

Hazama narrowly open his right eye to see Makoto charging at him with her fist-tonfas, he quickly jumps back to dodge the punch though was not expecting to hit in the stomach by her big, fluffy tail.

"Wow, I think this is the first time I ever got hit by a tail." Hazama chuckled.

"There's more where that came from!" Makoto glared as she's prepared to fight.

(Music: Makoto Nanaya's Battle Theme, Blazblue Cross Tag Battle OST)

Hazama laughs evilly as he charges at Makoto twirling around bringing out his daggers to slash at the squirrel girl as she blocks them with her tonfas though got push back a few feet, Hazama runs around while slashing at Makoto though she manage to block all the attack as she waits for the right moment to counter. When that moment came, she grabs Hazama's right arm and threw him hard toward on the cargos as he cushions the crash landing with his feet causing a big dent in the big metal box. Makoto quickly slams her fists into the concrete and lifting a large chuck of it over her head and throwing it toward the bad man in black, but Hazama easily sliced through the big rock with an evil smirk.

"You're good, but I'm afraid your little squirrel life ends tonight." Hazama declared.

Meanwhile, Blake is dodging some continuous blasts from Roman's cane as he tries to make roasted kitten for dinner and Sun jumps on top of him slamming the thief's face to the ground.

"Leave her alone." Sun angered and some White Fang soldiers surrounds him.

"You're not the brightest banana in the bunch, are you, kid?" Roman asked rhetorically.

But Sun wasn't afraid of the numbers as he easily smacks each one away with a punch and kick while doing a little breakdancing, he brought out his red staff smacking some more White Fang soldiers and knock them down with a shockwave.

Sun flips backwards until his back hits Makoto's.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Sun asked.

"Oh, dealing with a wanted criminal while trying to stay alive. How about you?" Makoto asked back.

"Same though I'm worry that Blake might be taking this too seriously." Sun worried.

"We'll worry about that after we make it out of here alive." Makoto pointed out.

"Good point." Sun nodded and they got back to their own fighting.

Makoto used her super strength semblance to give her legs a little speed boost to charge at Hazama who blocks her punch with his leg, seeing the guy smirking like that really pisses Makoto off as she starts throwing her fast rapid punches though Hazama is easily dodging and blocking them with his daggers while laughing insanely. Hazama saw an opening for a strong high kick sending Makoto up about fifteen feet away, she quickly recovers thanks to her aura and lands on her tail to bounce back toward Hazama with a punch kick to the face.

"Let see how you'll like this?" Hazama excited as launch a black-green phantom snake from his hand toward Makoto.

Makoto being surprise by that got her off guard getting her neck wrapped by the snake-phantom chain and suddenly lifted up about 25 feet in the air before Hazama slams her back down.

"My Semblance: Phantom Snake of Insanity, as I like to call it, will catch anything I want or kill them as well. Although it's more fun to beat the living shit out of fuckers like you before death!" Hazama bragged as he drags Makoto around through the ground and slamming her to a wall and one of the cargos.

Makoto tries to break free, but the chain won't brunch despite her great strength and not sure if her aura can last much longer than this.

Luckily, a bullet shot right through chains breaking it completely and free Makoto.

"What the…?" Hazama gasped and look to where the bullet came from.

"Hey, did we miss the party?" Dante asked sarcastically as he, Ruby, and Penny are standing on a rooftop of a building.

(Music End)

"About time you show up." Makoto smiled as she coughs a little.

"Oh, lookie here, more kids have come… how annoying." Hazama said getting angry as he narrows his eyes to Dante.

"(Looks like the Red Brother is here, but the Blue Brother would be thrill.)" Hazama thought as he smirks.

"Roman, we're pulling out!" Hazama called out as he runs toward a Bullhead.

Roman hated leaving a job but seeing the situation he knew there's no other choice. He quickly ditched Sun and Blake with a smoke bomb and hurry to Hazama as they lift off, but not before becoming very surprise of seeing Penny taking down two Bullheads and dragging one that was about to escape with the Dusts cargo.

"Okay, these kids just keep getting weird." Roman commented.

"But they do make goof playthings." Hazama said.

(Later)

Everything worked out well with the Dusts not being robbed this time and everyone is safe and the rest of the team are together again, but there was one more thing they have to deal with: Blake and Weiss patching things up together.

"Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-" Blake wanted to apologize, but Weiss stopped her with her hand to the face.

"Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you?" Weiss paused for five seconds. "Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..."

Weiss paused again as the other wait for it getting a little worry.

"I don't care!" She said, shocking Blake.

"You don't care?" Blake asked.

"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss asked.

"No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-" Weiss stopped her again.

"Ah-bah-bah-bah-bah! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some... Someone else." Weiss looked at Sun making him nervous with a chuckle.

"But Jotaro believes Sun seems trustworthy, so I'll let him be." Weiss said, Sun sighs in relief and Jotaro nods.

"And you promise to count on us?" Weiss asked Blake.

"Of course." Blake nodded as she whips away a tear.

"Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby cheered as Yang smiles.

"Told you everything would worked out." Dante said.

"But we won't be seeing the last of those men." Jotaro pointed out.

"And we'll be ready for them!" Yang smacked her fists together.
