"So...the grimm attacks were the result of conflict between gangs orchestrated by a member of the White Fang, and you were able to apprehend her?" Ozpin asks, the team nods in confirmation. It's only been an hour since they returned from their mission after debriefing Ozpin of the events that occurred. The Headmaster only sighs, leaning back on his chair as the ticking gears maintain the only sound in the office. "And what about the totem? Was it ever found?"
"No, Professor." Fenrir answers. Ozpin furrows his brow, showing the team his concerned look. "We searched the whole village but we believe it's long gone in Torchwick's hands."
"The situation was no more than a distraction. His real purpose was to capture the totem." Jotaro adds. "Sir, do you know why he would go through all that trouble for it?"
"I don't..." The team looks amongst each other in concern. "But I intend to find out."
"Let's not waste time then." Fenrir starts. "Is there anywhere we can start researching? Their origins, their significance, or maybe what other purpose they have?"
"That won't be necessary, Mr. Calavera. You and your team have done enough." Crimson didn't like the answer, glancing at Fenrir then at Ozpin.
"Seriously? But Torchwick got away, who knows what he's planning, we can't just sit around and wait." Ozpin raises a hand to stop Crimson from rambling.
"I will look into the manner, Mr. Vernados. Don't forget you're still Huntsmen-in-training, which means you still have homework and classes to attend. The mission I sent you on yesterday was to prove yourselves, not meant for special treatment." Crimson sighs, he doesn't like to be on a bench but Ozpin raises a fair point, they're still students, teenagers, children who don't yet understand what the real world is truly like. "I'll get in contact with experienced Huntsmen and if anything comes up, I'll ensure to inform you. Besides, you saved a whole village from being destroyed inside and out...that's a fairly big accomplishment for you students. Take the rest of the day off, spend it with your friends...you earned it."
The team look amongst themselves again, Fenrir doesn't like to wait around especially after making his promise, but there's only so much they can do as students and if they defy Ozpin by any means, there's a chance they'll get expelled and that's the last thing they ever want, so they decide to take the time off; hopefully, they won't have to wait too long.
"So...how was your first mission, boys?" River turns to Yang in surprise from her question during their walk in the Market District of Vale. Since the boys didn't want to wait in worry, they figured going on a stroll with Team RWBY will help clear their heads from the events of their mission
"You know about that?"
"Professor Goodwitch informed both Student and Faculty where you were, probably to dissuade any worry we would've had." Weiss explains. Jotaro nods in understanding, people would've wondered where he and his teammates went to be gone for a whole day.
"So what was it like?! What did you guys do?! Did you fight Grimm, beat up bad guys, save people, was it awesome?!" Ruby continues to bombard the boys with more and more questions, the excitement overwhelming her; Yang and Weiss had to hold her back from invading CJVR's personal space.
"It was eventful." Jotaro answers, making Ruby's expression deflate to confusion.
"That's it? Just eventful? Come on, I wanna hear the details!" The boys look amongst one another, they can't give away the important details by Ozpin's request; they don't like keeping their friends in the dark either.
"Wasn't anything special, all we did was run security." Fenrir answers with a shrug.
"But we did kick some Grimm ass, you girls should've seen it!" Crimson continues, raising his arms. "We put our teamwork to the max, we took down Beowolves, Nevermores, you name it!"
"And conquered your fear of flying." River adds.
"They don't need to know that!"
"Anything interesting happen?" Blake asks while Ruby drools with starry eyes at the thought of Crimson's explanation.
"We did uncover a mystery in our mission." Jotaro answers, worrying his teammates with how much info he's about to spill.
"Kurozaki."
"I'm not lying to our friends, River. Even if the Headmaster requested it."
"Wait, what kind of mystery?" Weiss asks, intrigued by what Jotaro has to say. He sighs, ready to explain in simple terms.
"To tell you the truth, we weren't there for security. The Headmaster requested we investigate Violette village due to its abnormal spike in Grimm activity, we discovered the source was from a gang dispute caused by a White Fang infiltrator named Vita."
"Wait, the White Fang was involved?" Blake asks, surprised. With a sigh, Crimson nods at her question, worrying Blake. Weiss took notice of another detail from Jotaro's explanation.
"Vita? Not Vita Lupin, is it?" Jotaro nods with a hurt expression. "Jotaro, why would one of your maids work with the White Fang?!"
"For the same reason any discriminated Faunus has, to bring down Humanity."
"That's not all, we also ran into Roman Torchwick at the Inn." Fenrir adds. Ruby gasps at the sound of his name, she hasn't run into that criminal since the night she foiled his robbery. Hearing his name was a surprise to her.
"Wait, you mean THE Roman Torchwick?" Ruby asks.
"The same bad guy you let get away." River nods.
"I didn't let him escape!" Ruby clears, waving her arms in the air. "I would've caught him if that Bullhead didn't appear out of nowhere!"
"So what was Torchwick doing there?" Yang asks.
"At first, we didn't know. But after we defeated Vita, he hightailed out the village with the Mayor's totem." Fenrir shrugs. The girls look at him in confusion, noticing he didn't explain the totem. "Right, the mayor had this strange totem of a Beowulf. Torchwick stole it and gave us the slip."
"Why would he steal a totem? I thought common criminals only care about money." Weiss says.
"Not this criminal." Crimson sighs. "River says he's got higher ambitions and he prefers to keep the cards close to his chest; all we know is, he probably has two: one from the village and the other from Jotaro's family, likely stolen by his maid."
"If there's two, then shouldn't you look for others? If Torchwick's after them it could spell bad news." Blake says, folding her arms.
"Not like we have much of a choice, Ozpin's put us on hold saying he'll research the totems and what makes them important, and when he spots them...he'll let us know." Fenrir replies. The girls look down in worry from everything they're told. Weiss sighs, being the voice of reason as she knows what the others will think later.
"If the Headmaster says he'll handle it then there's nothing we can do. He's Professor Ozpin after all; I'm sure he'll have better luck finding these totems than Team CJVR could. So let's not go poking our noses where they shouldn't be. At least, not without his permission."
"Speaking of Ozpin, everything we just told you was confidential information. He didn't want us to tell but I couldn't keep secrets from our friends. Now that you girls know, I'd like to ask you–" Yang waves his arm before Jotaro could finish his request.
"Don't worry, we'll keep it to ourselves. I appreciate you telling us, though." The girls nod in agreement which the boys return with a grateful nod. Weiss claps her hands with a smile.
"Well, since Team CJVR is allowed a break; it's a good thing they'll accompany us for today's events." Weiss motions her hand to the docks where a sign is being put up by the elderly Shopkeeper that reads in bright red letters "WELCOME TO VALE!" for all the foreign newcomers from their respective kingdoms of Remnant. Weiss raises her arms in amazement
"The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!"
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss. It's kinda weirding me out..." Ruby expresses
"You're weirded out Rubes? I think terrified would be more appropriate." Fenrir says, slightly leaning next to her.
"How could you not smile?" Weiss turns to the team leaders then back to the docks. "A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!"
The group continues walking as Yang lets out an exhausted sigh.
"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."
"Seriously, even in excitement you're still a killjoy." Crimson scoffs.
"Quiet, the both of you!" Weiss looks behind her with a stern glare to Yang and Crimson. The group stop near the docks as they hear the sound of foghorns
"I enjoy a quiet stroll, but would anyone care to explain why we're visiting the docks?" Fenrir asks looking at the docking ships while Ruby covers her nose
"Ugh, they smell like fish!"
"I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!" Weiss answers as she leads the group. River folds his arms with a skeptical look.
"And the real reason?"
"She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Jotaro answers. Weiss turns to Jotaro in offense
"JOTARO!!"
"I'm not letting you cheat on hard working competitors, Weiss!
"But I wasn't cheating, I was just-" Weiss tries to explain only to near Ruby snickering with her hands covering her mouth.
"Weiss got caught red handed!"
"Hush you! You got caught cheating against Yang in a video game!"
"I HAD TO PROTECT MY HIGH SCORE!!!!"
"By throwing my controller out the window...?" Yang asks, folding her arms. Fenrir lets out a small chuckle until he notices a broken store covered in police tape.
"Hey, guys, look." Fenrir points at the store, looking like it was recently robbed. The group look to see the shattered window down the street and a door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force before walking over to the detective in front, who is writing on his pad.
"What happened here?" Ruby asks.
"Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle" The detective answers, now approaching his partner.
"Another Dust shop...how curious." Jotaro says, rubbing his chin.
"They left all the money again!" Fenrir hears from the detective's partner, looking at them in interest to their conversation.
"Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"
"I don't know, an army?"
"You thinking the White Fang?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough!" The group tears away from the detectives' conversation, huddling into one of their own as Jotaro folds his arms in thought.
"Not surprising the White Fang would be stealing Dust, it fits their MO perfectly. But the question is, why? Vita was aiding Torchwick in stealing a totem, what would they need with anymore Dust?"
"Does it matter?" Weiss scoffs. "They're just an awful bunch of degenerates!!"
"What's your problem?" Blake asks, glaring at Weiss who turns to her teammate, confused
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane."
"The White Fang are hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus."
"Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!"
"So they're VERY misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"
"Hmm... Blake's got a point. Besides, Fenrir and his team never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago... Maybe it was him?" Ruby inquires
"So he steals a totem last night and goes back to stealing Dust? That makes sense." Fenrir sarcastically replies.
"Torchwick and the White Fang could be working together." River adds.
"The White Fang are anti-human, River. Remember?" Crimson corrects. "The White Fang's gotta have some form of motive for all this."
"The motive is the White Fang are a bunch of scum! Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal." Weiss continues, angering Blake.
"That's not entirely true, Weiss..." Jotaro tries to correct.
"Hey, stop that Faunus!" The group overhears a cry for help and rush over to investigate, a Faunus with a golden monkey tail named Sun Wukong is seen running down the length of the boat and leaping on to the edge as the two sailors are about to apprehend him.
"Thanks for the ride, guys! Haha!" Sun jumps off and hits the dock running as the sailors fail to catch him
"You no-good stowaway!" Sun uses his tail to hang on a lamppost while he peels back a banana
"Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" Before he eats, one of the detectives down below throws a stone at him to get his attention
"Hey! Get down from there this instant!" Sun drops the banana peel on the detective's face, who growls in return. The monkey-like Faunus twirls up to crouch on the lamppost, laughs in amusement, and proceeds to leap off and run away from the detectives. As he runs past Teams RWBY and CJVR, he winks at an astonished Blake in slow motion before time speeds up again and he continues to be chased by the officers.
"Well, Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, and there it goes..." Yang says, smirking. Crimson lightly smacks Yang's shoulder as he runs after Sun
"Come on, let's get after him!!" The group gives chase, but Fenrir stops to notice Blake standing still, lost in thought
"Hey, Remnant to Blake!" Fenrir snaps his fingers in front of her. Blake blinks back to reality and follows Fenrir with the group. The teams round the next corner, but then Weiss bumps into someone and trips. She looks up only to see Sun jump on to a building and disappear from her view.
"No, he got away!" Weiss cries in defeat
"Uhh... Weiss?" Yang points strangely at the girl underneath her teammate. Weiss finally sees that she fell on a smiling girl, which startles the heiress and she hastily gets up
"Sal-u-tations!" The girl gleefully expresses, unbothered from the fall she took.
"Um... hello." Ruby says, noticing the girl's odd behavior.
"Are you... okay?" Yang asks.
"I'm wonderful! Thank you for asking!"
"...Huh...?" Crimson expresses, arching a confused eyebrow. Fenrir and Blake catch up to the group.
"Hey! Did you guys catch the..." Fenrir stops himself when he and Blake notice the strange girl lying on the ground. With recognition, CJVR's leader gasps. "Pen...?"
The girl gasps in equal recognition and excitement, her eyes wide with happiness.
"Fen!!" The girl, who Fenrir called Pen, jumps to her feet and gives Fenrir a massive bear hug, lifting him off his feet with a bone breaking squeeze "It has been far too long!! I have missed you so much!!!"
"M-missed you too, Pen!" Fenrir chokes, feeling his spine and ribs beginning to crack. "And...I also miss...breathing!!"
Realizing she's crushing Fenrir, the girl pulls away her arms, dropping the boy as he hits the floor but quickly recovers to his feet. The girl gives an apologetic look while Fenrir gives a forgiving one, the beat of silence telling each other they don't need words to say how they feel. The silence breaks by Jotaro clearing his throat.
"Care to introduce us?" Fenrir notices the others giving off suspicious looks and decides to introduce his friend
"Right! Penny, these are my friends!" Fenrir stands beside the girl, waving his hand to his teammates and other friends, then to the girl. "Guys, this is Penny Polendina, a close friend of mine!"
"How come you never told us about her?" Yang asks with a teasing smile. Fenrir only chuckles with a shrug
"I guess there wasn't a right moment, I didn't know she'd be here!"
"Well, hi Penny! I'm Ruby!"
"Weiss Schnee"
"Blake."
"I'm Yang"
"River Strife."
"Jotaro Kurozaki."
"And I'm Crimson Vernados, but you can call me handsome." Crimson begins taking a confused Penny's hand. "And I gotta say, Freckles, you have the most adorable look. What do ya say we hang out and I can show you-"
Crimson's attempt at flirting is interrupted as Fenrir stomps on his foot with enough force to imitate an anvil. Crimson jumps back from the intense pain, hopping on one foot for a few seconds until he settles, the pain on his foot still present while Fenrir lets out a casual yet seemingly forceful chuckle.
"You gotta watch where you're stepping, Crimson; you're liable to hurt something." Fenrir says, grinning. Crimson could almost feel the terrifying aura from Fenrir's smile. Penny was only a little confused until she dismisses it and smiles.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Penny, Fen's girlfriend!"
"GIRLFRIEND?!!!" The group exaggerates in chorus. Fenrir hastily waves his arms in defense
"NO NO!! It's not what you guys think it is!!" Fenrir turns to Penny, a hand on her shoulder. "Pen, we talked about this. You can't call yourself my girlfriend around other people."
"But why?" Penny tilts her head. "We're friends, and I'm a girl!"
"I mean, you're not wrong! But other people may take it the wrong way. You're supposed to introduce yourself as my friend"
"Oh...yes! I am Fen's friend! I apologize for the confusion." Penny takes a quick bow of apology. The others look amongst each other in confusion, not sure what to register anymore. To dispel the awkward silence, Fenrir clears his throat
"Anyway, we gotta get going, Pen. But it was nice seeing you again! Tell Pietro I said hi!" Fenrir exchanges a quick hug with Penny and waves goodbye to her
"Sorry for running into you!" Weiss apologizes as she and the others take their leave.
"Take care, friend!" Ruby waves. The group walk away with a little wave of goodbye, now discussing Penny herself.
"Let me see if I understand, she's just a friend of yours, correct?" Fenrir nods at Jotaro's question. "How long have you known each other?"
"Since I was...ten? It's a little fuzzy." Fenrir scratches his head.
"OK, then why the hell'd you stomp on my foot like that?!" Crimson exclaims.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Fenrir denies.
"Don't play dumb with me!"
"Playing dumb IS your specialty, Crimson." River says with a smirk.
"Watch it, smartass." Crimson snaps with a mocking expression.
"Pen doesn't explore the outside all that much, so she has a difficult time understanding a few things." Fenrir continues, ignoring the subject of Crimson's question.
"That'd explain why she was a little off..." Yang says, earning a deathly glare from Fenrir. "Uh, for a hermit! Not that there's anything wrong with her!"
"Yeah, I admit she's a little weird." Fenrir sighs, making Yang sigh in relief. "But she isn't so bad once you get to know her.
"Now, where did that Faunus riffraff run off to?!" Weiss says, looking around. Suddenly, Penny was now in front of the group without getting noticed until now, surprising them.
"What did you call me?"
"The hell?! Wasn't she just-?!" Crimson exclaims, looking back and forth.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!" Yang apologizes.
"No, not you." Penny walks past the group and leans her head down to Ruby. "You!"
"Me? I-I don't know. I, what I, um, uh..."
"You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?"
"Uuuum..." Ruby looks at the group, all of them signaling her "no" while Fenrir's nodding his head 'yes' "Y-yeah sure! Why not?"
The group comically faints while Fenrir gives Ruby a thumbs up.
"Sen-sational!" Penny jumps away in glee. "We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys! Like Fen!!"
"I keep telling you, Pen, I'm not the cute one here..." Fenrir chuckles. Feeling uncomfortable from the invasion of space, Ruby takes a few steps back towards Weiss who stands up and brushes herself off
"Oh, is this what it was like when you met me?"
"No, she seems far more coordinated." Jotaro clears his throat, to grab Penny's attention.
"So... what brings you to Vale, Penny?"
"I'm here to fight in the tournament." Penny replies.
"Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?" Weiss asks.
"I'm combat ready!" Penny salutes to Weiss
"Are you sure, Pen? You weren't ready last time I saw you." Fenrir says.
"Plus, you hardly look the part." Weiss adds.
"Says the girl wearing a dress?" Blake points out
"It's a combat skirt!" Ruby speeds to Weiss with a smile
"Yeah!" Weiss holds out her hand and Ruby low-fives it. Weiss comes to a realization as she approaches Penny
"Wait a minute. If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey-tailed... rapscallion?"
"The who...?" Penny asks, confused. Weiss pulls out a terrible drawing of Sun to show Penny who she's talking about.
"The degenerate Faunus from the boat!"
"Why do you keep saying that?!" The whole group turn their attention towards Blake, who walks over to Weiss getting angry
"Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?"
"Stop it!"
"Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!"
"Weiss, you're taking things a little too far!" Jotaro interjects.
"How could I be taking things too far?! Did you forget what you told us minutes ago?! When your own maid, Vita, betrayed you, fighting for the White Fang?!!"
"That was different!"
"Different how?! This is exactly how all Faunus will end up, sooner or later!"
"GRR!! You ignorant little brat!" Blake walks away in anger, and Fenrir couldn't help but feel bad for Blake, since he's the only one in this group that knows she's a Faunus. Her anger against Weiss is understandable, but not exactly how teammates should behave to one another as Weiss approaches Blake
"How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"
"You are a judgmental little girl!"
"What in the world makes you say that?"
"The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!" Yang and JVR slide up next to Fenrir and Ruby with uncomfortable looks on their faces at the mere sight of Weiss and Blake arguing
"Um, I think we should probably go..." Yang suggests. Penny appears behind the group, smiling
"Where are we going?"
"So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!" Weiss and Blake continue arguing.
"That's not what I meant, and you know it!"
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!"
"That IS the problem!" The argument shifts to Team RWBY's dormroom. Team CJVR, excluding River, were invited inside, observing the argument; hoping there's an end to it.
"You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!"
"There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"
"People like me?!"
"You're discriminatory!"
"I'm a victim!!" They're taken aback by Weiss' sudden words. Jotaro, more surprised than the others, had no idea the White Fang would impact her so much. Weiss walks over to the window, looking out from it. "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear; board members executed; an entire train car full of Dust, stolen. The only real friend I ever had...was Jotaro; until he left to attend his family needs...I was never allowed to see him again until now, my life has been filled with nothing but loneliness. And every day, my father would come home, furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood."
Jotaro walks over to Weiss, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder
"Weiss, I'm so sorry, if I had known-," Jotaro walks over to Weiss, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Weiss shoves Jotaro away in anger.
"NO!!!! You couldn't have KNOWN!!!" Weiss approaches Blake, furious. "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"
"WELL MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND!!!"
Silence drops in the air. A surprised Weiss backs away slowly, and Blake realizes her mistake as she looks around at her teammates and friends
"Holy shit...Blake." Crimson mutters in shock.
"I-I..." Without saying anything further, she dashes out of the dorm room in fear. Ruby and Fenrir run past the entrance looking in the direction Blake ran.
"Blake! Wait!! Come back!!" Ruby begs. Fenrir shoots an accusing glare at Weiss.
"I hope you're proud of yourself, Ice Queen." Weiss couldn't respond, too shocked by the revelation. Fenrir sighs, lending a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "I'll go find her."
Fenrir runs off to find Blake, as the others stay behind; awestruck by what Blake just said.
Blake runs outside and arrives at a statue of an armored man with a sword and a hooded woman wielding an axe on an outcropping, staring at the Beowolf under the stone heroes in particular. She closes her eyes and slowly lifts her arms up to her bow and pulls the string to release the bow from her hair showing her cat ears. She wipes a tear away in sadness.
"I knew you would look better without the bow." She turns around and looks up, seeing Sun Wukong approaching her. He and Blake walk away so they can find somewhere more private to talk, Fenrir watches from the shadows, stalking them to make sure she will be alright.
Morning arrives at Beacon, Ruby wakes up from her beauty sleep, yawning in the process. She looks over at Blake's empty bunk, and groans sadly. She notices the door opening up and see Team CJVR walking in
"Fenrir didn't come back either?"
"No, and that could mean two things..." River starts. The rest of Ruby's team wake up from the sound of River's voice, sitting up from their beds. "One, he's still searching for Blake and won't check in until later...or he's forgotten to check his scroll for the 10th time."
"So...what do we do?" Yang jumps from her bed, fixing her hair.
"That a serious question?!" Crimson scoffs. "We're going to find Blake and Fenrir."
"Why should we?! You saw how she reacted, she's with those terrorists!" Weiss stands from her bed, crossing her arms in spite.
"She's our friend, and we don't abandon our friends! Maybe you should listen to what others have to say before you go accusing them!"
"Crimson's right." Jotaro nods. "If we find Blake, she will answer all of our questions."
"If she doesn't lie to us first..." Weiss mutters. Jotaro reaches into the girls' dressers and picks up their clothes. Yang raises a hand to protest but Weiss pushes it down, trusting Jotaro who puts their clothes on Weiss' bed
"You girls get dressed and look for Blake in the market street. We'll ask around the docks."
"Ok, sure thing! We'll call you if we find anything!" Ruby determinedly nods and Jotaro nods back.
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang walk the empty streets of Vale searching for their friend Blake while Jotaro and the boys search in the docks.
"She's been gone all weekend... I just hope Fenrir found her." Ruby sighs
"Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself!" Weiss says.
"Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates." Yang reasons.
"Is she? We all heard what she said!"
"Weiss..." Ruby mumbles, tired of Weiss' stubborn thinking.
"Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her!" Yang says.
"A member of the White Fang! Right underneath our noses!"
"I hope Jotaro and the others have better luck..." Ruby sighs
Elsewhere, at a cafe on the balcony, Blake is sipping a cup of tea and sighing. She looks up at Sun sitting across from her, who holds his drink with his tail as his hand props his head up. He takes a sip when Blake puts her cup down
"So, you want to know more about me..."
End of Chapter 15
