Earlier that morning, Elise found herself alone in her and her teammates dorm room. While the others were off getting breakfast, she slowly snuck her way back into here. One would think that her friends would catch onto her using the bathroom for nearly twenty minutes, but they never even questioned it.

Elise quickly looked around, making sure not even a bird was looking through the window before she started to climb up the tower of beds towards the top. With her feet on the third bed and arms resting on the top one, Elise slowly reached out and slid a hand under the pillow. She half smiled, pulling out Kagami's green leather book. A moment later, she was laying on the third bed with a smile, flipping through the old pages as they creaked.

"Just... one poem before the double rounds." She stopped at a random page, opening it up to let the light hit the black ink. She noticed the date marked from a few months ago and simply smiled some more. She pressed a finger against the sheet, eyes locking with the first word. "Let's see what you wrote on this day in history..." She then began to read.

I am merely a mortal doing my best

To keep any weapon out of my chest

You ask me how

Well I'll tell you right now

I refuse to bow

I do not cowar in front of my fears

I do not break down and fall into tears

I march forward

On my own accord

You can beat me down and use me

Mistreat, bruise, cheat and abuse me

But it won't matter in the end

Because I will always ascend

You think fear will make me cowar

But instead it is a shower

Of bravery and a drive

That will help me thrive

My resolve can't be broken

Especially by a foolish brogan

Elise's smile had grown the entire time she had been reading, but once she got to the last word, her brows furrowed as a look of confusion filled her eyes. "The heck is a brogan?" She laid the book down at her side and close it before pulling out her scroll.

"Okay... how was this spelled?" Her eyes narrowed a bit as she started to type the word in. "B-R-O-G-A-N..." She blinked a few times before half smiling at what came up. "Oh! It's a type of shoe!" Her smile immediately returned to that of pure admiration. "So she can't be broken by anyone's foot harming her." She leaned back, nodding as she shut off her scroll. "Kagami is really good at writing these things. She's basically pretty cool all around too."

Her whole body then jerked as she saw and heard the door knob move. "Hell." Her eyes widened. She immediately slid the book underneath her own pillow. She jumped down off the bed, rolling a few feet before she jumped up and launched herself to the bathroom. Just as she shut the door to said room, the door to the dorm opened up.

"I'm totally pumped for this match!" Kris let out with hands balled up into fist and slightly raised. She spun around a bit, arms dangling. "We're going to show all those dumb idiots what we can do!"

Cheyenne simply smiled at the small red head, rolling her eyes ever so slightly before she reached out to rub her head. "You better hope you win, your sister would probably never let you live it down if you lost."

She paused for a moment, her face suddenly going extremely white. "Shoot!" Her hands slapped against her face. "That's so true! I can't deal with that!"

"Then you better win with Elise." Kagami muttered, hands on her hoodie pocket.

Just then, the toilet in the bathroom flushed and out came Elise from the door who seemed as calm as ever.

"Speak of the devil." Kris muttered, rolling her eyes.

"Wait," Cheyenne blinked a few times, raising a hand. "You flushed then walked right out. Did you not wash your hands?"

Elise paused, internally cursing herself out for such a foolish mistake. Up until this point, she had been feeling so awesome and very much like a spy, but now she felt like someone would shoot her if she was a spy because she couldn't keep a good cover.

"Dude!" Kris took a step back, a disgusted look on her face. "That's really gross!"

"I..." The young farm girl sighed, lowering her head. Now she had to stick with this. "Well," She put her hands on her hips. "Mama and papa didn't have running water this one summer because our well got screwed up. Sooo... I just learned not to wash my hands."

This time, Cheyenne was the one who stepped away as Kagami slowly nodded. "Okay... that... yeah..." She herself took a step back.

"Please don't ever touch me again." Cheyenne spoke quietly.

Elise groaned softly, rolling her eyes as she screamed at herself in her head even more. "Whatever." She grumbled, walking towards the door. "Let's just hurry up and get to the arena. I'm ready to kick some butt."

Kris slowly stepped behind her, glancing back at Cheyenne and Kagami. "Bet her hands smell like butt too."

"I heard that!" The brunet snapped, glaring back at the smaller girl. "And they do not, thank you very much!"

Hours later, deep in the criminal society of Vale, the were grates upon grates filled with everything you could imagine. Stolen Atlas rifles, several tons of finely packaged Schnee Dust, Atlas mechs which were not prototypes and could seriously harm someone, everything filled each and every one of them. There were bombs, bullets and ammo, stolen transportation air ships, every room was packed to its limit with destructive material.

White Fang members of all different kinds of unique traits were dressed in full uniforms with Grimm mask hiding there expressions. Even their eyes could not be red with the monstrous features the masks gave off. They strolled up and down, marking off on clipboards with check lists on what their inventory was, on how much loot they had stolen over the past year.

Valentine watched from a catwalk above, leaning on the railing with her arms crossed. Her golden eyes were like daggers, piercing through anyone who dared to even look up in her direction. Hearing footsteps draw near her, she stood up straight, looking over to see Nihilus.

With his hands inside his pockets of his red and white zipper hoodie, he glanced around before pausing behind her. "Cinder wanted me to explain a few changes to the plan. Nothing drastic, just something that will make things a lot easier."

"And what's that?" She turned around, leaning her back up against the railing.

"Apparently there is some girl here from Atlas." He slid his hands from his pockets and crossed his arms. His restless eyes showing no emotion at all as he blinked. "She doesn't know how, but this girl from Atlas is apperently a machine with an aura. I knew those bastards up there were twisted, but knowing they can switch out an aura from one person to a machine is awful." He gave a very long sigh, lowering his head as his blue hair covered his eyes.

"Anyway," He continued. "There is also a girl from Beacon who is in the single rounds and can control polarity. With tensions already high and then this," He looked up. "After that machine is destroyed, we will move in. The attack will begin then. And this corrupt kingdom will start to fall."

Valentine slowly nodded, a demonic smile slowlu forming across her face. She truly was the devil deep down. Well, atleast this half of her was. "Unsportsmanlike competitors and then a what would have been human death." She chuckled softly, looking down across the stolen goods. "This will work out wonderfully. Their rage and anger and fear, it will surely turn the Grimm on and draw them near."

Nihilus gave a slow nod back, sticking his hands back in his pockets before he began to walk off. "Oh, and Thanaton says we have an overstock in Dust. I don't know what you are planning to do with all of that, but I will say this." He glanced back at her. "Make sure they all suffer."

She flashed a smile back at him, slowly nodding. "They won't know what him them when it all begins. Everything will go straight to hell so fast they won't be able to comprehend it."

"Good." He gave a nod then walked on. Once he knew he was out of earshot, he gave a soft sigh and lowered his head. "And please..." He took a deep breath. "Be careful out there and don't die, Val."

Down where White Fang members were checking inventory, Thanaton was walking around and eyeing different Faunus from time to time. "Hey," She finally spoke up, looking at a pair of Faunus who were carrying a large bomb. "Unless you both want to bloe of to kingdom come, I advise you two skinny twigs set that down gently and let larger men carry it."

They two quickly looked at each other, daring not to question her. They set it down gently, quickly rushing away from it in search for stronger men than themselves.

Sitting on the top of a grate, Eri flashed a smile, her blonde hair hanging around her face as she tapped her red finger nails against the wood. "You definitely have all of them on a very tight leash." She chuckled.

Thanaton looked up, smiling at the small blonde. "It's a privilege of being a scary ass bitch."

She smirked back, jumping down. As she stood up straight, she crossed her arms with a chuckle. "Ain't that right. You can wrap any man around your fingers if you're good enough."

"I think you mean bad enough." She crossed her arms back.

"Fair, fair." The blonde nodded, turning on her heels to look around. "So you just sit around her all day and boss these wannabe cult members around, huh?"

"Yep." Thanaton nodded. "Pretty much." She looked all around, smiling at the Faunus scattering at the mere glare from her fearsome purple eyes. "It is really fun from time to time." She flashed an epic grin. "I can get them to do ANYTHING if I really act like I'm upset."

"Sounds really fun." Eri flipped her golden hair back. "If I ever get too bored around here, I'll know where to go. People at Junior's are pretty boring now. They had a lot more back bone before I got sent to prison."

"Hey," She smiled, nudging the smaller girl a bit. "I know Junior. He's pretty sweet in bed."

"Do you..." She blinked back at her. "Do you just sleep with every man you want to?"

"Pretty much." She nodded. "They have to be good enough though. It won't be just ANYWAY."

"Sure, sure." Eri waved her off. "What you say." She then started to walk away. "I'm going to go get some rest. There's going to be a lot of bloodshed tomorrow and I can't wait!"

"Bet I'll kill more dopes than you!" Thanaton shouted back, brushing her purple hair to the side.

"Only in your dreams!" She called back, passing between a few White Fang members pulling out rifles and weapons of all kinds.

In team MACE's dorm room, all four girls were silent. The air had gone still, not a single leave blowing in the wind outside or air conditioning blowing on the poorly taped posters to the walls.

In the middle of the floor, Kagami's leather book was laying face up, the Monomane mark that was engraved on it upward. Elise was next to the window, her back facing it. Her heart was racing like mad. There was one clear rule Kagami has set, and that was to not read her writings without her.

Across from her stood Kagami, her arms hanging down at her side. Her pale tea green eyes were wide and filled with more betrayal than before. First Cheyenne, and now Elise had crushed her trust.

To Kagami's left, Cheyenne was standing and blinking rapidly. Of all the girls in the room, she was the one who was the most lost and confused. "Okay..." She quietly spoke up. "Okay... how about we all take a deep breath and let's breathe?"

Kris, who was opposite of Cheyenne, could not help but gulp some as she looked between her teammates. Everything around them was gaining a stiff feeling. Even she could tell that things were about to go south and become extremely bad. It was clear to every girl in the room.

"You... read my book?" Kagami spoke up in a very hush tone, her face paler than usual.

Elise gulped, chewing on her lip. She then inhaled deeply, pointing at Kris. "It doesn't matter if I did! I know she's the one who is working with those damned criminals and I belive you!"

"Hold on..." Cheyenne slowly held out her hand. "Hold on..."

Kagami blinked once, her brows furrowing. "You're telling me it's Kris now too!?"

"The hell do you even mean I'm working with the enemy!?" Kris snapped, stepping in Elise direction.

The brunet growled, shoving her back. "I'm not stupid! I know it's you!"

"So you're telling me all three of your are deceiving me!?" Kagami snapped, pointing at Cheyenne. "First it's that wrench and her White Fang ties!" She glared at Elise. "Then you taking my book!" Her head snapped to Kris. "And know you're a traitor too!"

Kris growled, hissing on Kagami's direction. Rather than being upset from accusations towards her, she was upset on them towards Cheyenne. "She hasn't done a single thing wrong! She's been honest with us and clean!"

"Then you explain to me why I heard her voice!" The jade haired girl stepped forward.

"So it's both of you!" Elise snapped.

"I haven't done shit!" Kris glared back at the brunet.

"Then explain on how you did absolutely nothing when we were looking for Kagami! You came back with nothing!" The farm girl shot back.

"G-Guys..." Cheyenne quietly whimpered, holding up a hand with a gulp.

Elise simply continued. "You say you were searching for Kagami, but you clearly weren't! It all makes total sense!"

"Well what do you even know!" Kagami snapped, glaring at the brunet with heavy breathing. "You looked through MY personal stuff! Do you see all this worthless junk laying around here! I don't go snooping through it!"

"You know!" Kris growled at Elise. "I was just starting to accept the fact the maybe hunting for food is ago! It's part of survival and natural in nature! But to hell with that! All you damn murderers are all the same! Sick and twisted!"

"You can just shut up!" Elise shoved the red head back. "You don't deserve to speak after hurting Kagami!"

"...g-guys..." Cheyenne spoke up a lot more quieter now, her eyes beginning to tear up.

"I don't have to listen to this bullshit and your stupid accusations!" Kris shoved her back, stepping towards the door. "I am going to go sleep with my sister tonight and don't think I'm coming back in the morning!" She stepped out, slamming the door shut and going left.

"Fine by me you whore!" Elise snapped.

"Who are you even calling a whore!?" Kagami gritted her teeth, snatching her book up. "I clearly sad this was mine and you still go through it!" Her head snapped towards Cheyenne. "And you're just a lying traitor who doesn't actually give a damn about me!"

"...g-guys..." The Faunus' voice was even smaller.

"You can't just yell at Cheyenne like that!" Elise snapped. "We all know she left her White Fang ties behind! Kris is the real monster her!"

"All of you are!" Kagami shot back, pushing the brunet to the side and opening the window. "And I'm not dealing with any of you anymore." Her voice was cold, unlike anything else. She junped out, latching onto a tree before climbing down.

Elise growled, jaw clenching as she jerked away. "Like I give a damn anymore! I'm out!" She shouted, opening the door and slamming it shut. She turned right, walking away.

Standing alone in the silent room, Cheyenne quietly sniffed. She collapsed to her knees, the palms of her hands bracing against the soft rug. Her vision blurred, tears dripping own next toher hands and staining the rug. She sniffed again, squeezing her eyes shut tight as her fingers dug into the fabric on the floor as tight as they could. "The hell just happened!?" She shouted, shaking her head. Tears flew from her face as her light brown hair wrapped around her face. "The hell..." She sniffed heavier before she started to sob. "The hell just happened..."

No response came, only the sound of pure silence and loneliness echoed inside her head.
