"Hey, Tony, when is the shipment coming? Are the sol naciente known for having the best

weapons in vacuo?"

"In time, if we want to stand a chance in Vale, we need to wait as for now, they never failed me

before, and today won't be that day," Tony said back to them and saw almost a hundred

henchmen. But as soon his eyes met the warehouse gate, they heard a knock, and they let in

with it; a massive trailer had hundreds of guns, swords, and almost every single weapon that

could arm a small army. But the power suddenly cut off before Tony or anyone could relish the

supplies.

Tony sighs, but before he can bark any orders, they hear a door opening, and the sound of the

ground starts to rumble; they see in through the open door a red and blue hue showing them

two people in completely a silhouette figure one is a short woman who has lean build with big,

puffy hair and on her hands is a staff and beside her is an average height man with an overall

build while having a slick back hair and one of his hands holding a macuahuitl." Everyone

inside, please put your weapons down, or we will use force." one of the police officers said with

a megaphone.

"No, we have been surviving for generations, so this will end in two ways: we leave and never

be found again, or this will be a bloodbath."

The officer sighed," Cualli, Aja, please engage." Then, the two people whispered to each other,

and the man started to give a soft orange glow, placed his hand on her shoulder, giving her the

same soft color, and nodded until they split in different directions. They all start to shoot at the

two people but just keep on, barely landing on them until Aja rushes to a pillar, and beneath her,

massive vines shoot from the ground, grappling and tying themselves to the armed henchmen

and at the other side of the building they see Cualli open his hand and start to summon an

orange transparent, great shield and charging at them tanking the bullet.

Once he gets close enough, he shields bash one of them, dodges one of the henchmen's guns,

and cuts right through them, angling his weapon on one of them and pulling back, leaving a

deep cut before pulling out his revolver and sees put in an ice dust bullet and with each shot

froze either there legs and hands until the only sound there is the groans of those Cualli and Aja

beat and the office door slamming close and the officers rushing inside. Cualli sighed and

walked to Aja, who was still behind the pillar." Hey Aja, you ok? Did I give you too much aura

this time?" She nods yes, and Cualli picks her up," Yeah, sorry that I thought your body could

handle ten percent."

"Yeah, but it also amplifies the semblance by how much you give, so what I did was about ten

times as strong as if I had done it normally." Then the lights cut back on." You think Jean is here

since she has been in that case for years?"

Before either of them could say anything, they see Jean, an average build with short red hair,

kicking down the door and dragging Tony by the hair, leaving the building." I guess that's our

answer. Let's see if she could give us a lift back home."

Cualli and Aja leave the building and see Jean laughing to herself," Oh gods, finally, this shit is

over, oh god, yes!" Jean said to herself before noticing the duo." great work, great fucking work."

she then went for a hug." I know you two are about to be in your second year at Beacon

Academy, but thanks for using your break to help me out."

"As much as I could hug back, Aja is in my arms," Cualli said to Jean, and she pulled away from

the hug.

"Sorry, but Aja, are you okay? You two need a ride to the department." Jean said to the two.

"Yeah, that sounds good, and we were about to ask about that. Also, I am fine; my aura is

overwhelmed for now. I just need a minute, but I am fine," Aja said back to her.

Jean sighed," Cualli, you need to learn how much you should give to others," she said to Caulli.

"But I won't chew you out today. I am in a good mood and lucky I brought my vehicle. I will let

the rest deal with them," Jean said before leading them to her car and going to the police

department.

Once inside, Aja starts to regain her footing before finding a chair to sit on," Hey, Jean, could

you watch Aja for a minute? I need to see if I can find some sugar to speed this up." Cualli said

to Jean, who gave the nod. Cualli ran off, looking at each room to find a vending machine or

anything that had anything sweet until he saw the door opening and saw Professor Goodwitch

and a woman behind her black dress consisting of a long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and

red trim on the sleeves, over which is a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a

matching skirt with red lining and a red petticoat. She also wears a pair of thick black tights that

fade to red near the bottom and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, red

soles, and silver eyes. But he shook his head and found a plate of cookies in one of the rooms,

as did Headmaster Ozpin." H-headmaster, I never thought to see you here!" he said surprisedly.

Ozpin turns to Cualli." oh Cualli, sol naciente, what brings you to this night?" Ozpin said to

Cualli.

"Oh, umm, Aja and I just finished a mission, and we just brought down Tony and his whole

organization. Aja is tired because I accidentally overdid how much aura I gave her, so her sugar

is low. So I was wondering if I could steal a cookie from you." Cualli said to Ozpin while eyeing

the cookies.

Ozpin passes Cualli a cookie," Well, congratulations on your mission, even if Aja is physically

tired because of your semblance." ozpin said to Cualli.

"Thanks, but I have to go back to Aja; thanks for the cookie, ozpin," he said to Ozpin before

leaving the room and going to Aja, who was in the same place." hey, Aja, I found a cookie for

you."

She then took it." Thanks, Cualli," before eating it," Oh, and Jean told me to say to you that she

has our new huntsman suits in the other room,"

"That's good also, where is she?"

"Oh, right. She is integrating Tony to see if she can find any connections between him and your

old clan," Aja said back to Cualli while her breath returned to normal." Okay, I think I am okay

now. Are you ready to see our new outfits?" Cualli nodded yes, and Aja led him to a room with

two surprisingly light suitcases."Do you want to try them out now, or do you want to surprise

each other when our semester starts next week?"

"Let's surprise each other. Wait, what time is it right?" Cualli checked his scroll and saw it was

past midnight," shit, so I need to go now. We need to find Jean and give us a lift back home."

cualli said to himself before the two left the room and saw her right outside the building taking a

smoke break," Hey Jean we need a ride back. Can you take us, please?"

"Sure, I needed to talk to you guys privately anyway." After saying that, she put out the cigarette

and walked to the car. Cualli and Aja followed, and soon, the only sound was the tire rolling

down the street.." Thanks to your two help, we got some answers from Tony and had close

connections to the sol naciente, but that's what I want to discuss now. A new player named

Roman Torchwick is coming in. Since Tony is gone now, he will take on the power vacuum."

"OK, but why do you want to tell us this privately since this Roman person can be a big player if

Tony is gone?" Cualli said back to Jean.

"I brought him up because if what I think is right, Midas may make a professional business

relationship. I know you have a grudge against Midas and the clan, and I know you will ignore

this, but I feel like if you go after Roman and hurt Midas's pocket, it won't end well for you."

"But we did the same thing with Tony, and are you fine?" Cualli asked Jean.

"Yes, because they are a family Mafia rather than an international organization that Midas

controls!" Jean said to Cualli until she took a deep please don't do anything rash if

you take any action."

After she said that, Cualli nodded, looked out the window, and reached the countryside in the

blink of an eye, dropping her off and starting to reach Cualli's home." Hey, can you stop here? I

can walk back from here."

"Are you sure? It's about a minute of driving," Jean said to Cualli in a confused tone.

"Yeah, I am sure. Thank you for the new outfits," Cualli said back to Jean while eyeing his

suitcases. She nods and drops him off the side of the road, and Cualli takes a deep breath," ok,

Cualli, you need to make sure Thomas is asleep and hope he doesn't know I am gone." Cualli

said to himself before starting to make his way to the farm. Several minutes later, he reached

the farm and saw the massive house with the lights off." ok, Cualli looks like he is asleep. Just

need to get back to my house and try out my suit." he whispered to himself before reaching a

small cabin and going inside." ok now you need to go to sleep and–"

Before he can finish talking to himself, the lamp turns on, showing Thomas sitting on the bed

crossed-armed." You care to explain how you were playing hero in the city?" Thomas says

bluntly." and before you say it, yes, Ozpin told me about your mission with Aja and the chief. I

just want to know why you are hell-bent on hurting Midas pocket. I mean, for fuck sake, you

came to me right after you left vacuo!" Thomas yelled at Cualli.

" Yeah, I know, but you knew I applied to the police for the semester break when I finished my

finals." Cualli told Thomas," And you know why I am targeting Midas hell? When I found you, I

was traumatized, and it took me a while until I left this area on my own."

"And you wanted to fight back to feel strong like you could be this big, strong man when that bad

man fell. Because if that is so, then it's pathetic." Thomas then takes a deep breath," Look, I am

sorry about what I said, but you are 17 years old and about to go into your next year in Beacon

and soon be a team leader. You can't be taking these types of risks anymore. It's not just you

that your actions will hurt others, not just you." Then he noticed the suitcase," Is that a new

outfit?" Thomas said curiously.

"Well, this is a new huntsman outfit the police gave Aja and me after the mission, and yeah,

you're right. I guess some part of me is still angry about the past. But also afraid of it at the

same time? I don't know. I'm still confused about the whole thing." He placed the suitcase on the

ground and opened it, revealing his chest armor. It was sleek and form-fitting with angular,

geometric patterns. His shoulders carried slightly bulkier armor, providing additional protection

and a robust appearance. His emblem, a sunflower, was embossed on the armor. He wore a

utility belt with pouches for dust and ammunition encircling his waist. The back of his armor

featured a compact holster for his pistol and a sheath for his macuahuitl. Also, a detachable

dark blue cloak could be used for camouflage or as a protective layer against environmental

elements. The inner lining of the cloak was a lighter blue. He wore high-class boots, gloves, and

a utility belt with several dust bullets.

"Wow, you were busting that case with Aja. Help you guys to get new huntsman outfits."

Thomas said back to Cualli before standing up," Well, I wanted to tell you to please leave Midas

alone. Trust me, just leave it behind." before hugging Cualli and leaving the cabin.

"Well, I never thought busting a mafia would lead to this." He kicks the suitcase somewhere in

the room and shuts off the light.
