CHAPTER FIVE: A REUNION

"Hm~" Pyrrha hummed as she felt her conscious coming to. She took a deep breath as she opened her green eyes to see that she was still IN Team RWBY's room along with Penny and Nora. She smiled, thinking of last night. The love making she made with the young huntresses she's sharing the bed with. Her face then turned red at the thought of her actions. 'Oh my.' She then gave a small giddy giggle in order not to wake them up.

"Looks like someone's feeling a good." Ruby mumbled as she rubbed her face against the champion's chest, giving a small peck on the area.

"Morning, Ruby." Pyrrha greeted with a soft tone. "Sorry if I woke you up."

"It's okay, Pyr." The silver eyed huntress hummed and raised her gaze to look into those shining green eyes she fell for. "I'll accept it if you give me a kiss." She muttered.

"Really now." She gave a playful huff. She leaned forward and pecked her forehead. "Better?"

"I think you're putting me back to sleep." She mumbled, eyes slowly drifting shut.

This time the champion couldn't hold back a giggle. She then leaned forward and gave a small passionate kiss on the lips.

"Hm..." Ruby smiled and opened her eyes. "I'm awake now."

"Spoi~led." Yang yawned with a grin on his face, she was lying behind Nora.

"Do you want a morning kiss too?" Pyrrha hummed as she turned to the blonde young woman.

"Can I pwe~ase." Yang begged, leaning over Nora.

"Then you may." Pyrrha said as she was about to do so.

"Intercepted kiss!" Nora suddenly shouted, taking the kiss from the surprised champion. She giggled at her shocked flushed face.

"That was mine." Yang pouted.

"You want it? Come and get it." The ginger laughed as she managed to come off the bed, the yellow dragon after her.

"There's goes the morning." Blake muttered having been awake from Nora's earlier scream, but there was still a smile on her face.

Weiss giggled as she sat up, stretching her arms high. "Hn!" She sighed. "I would like if we were to sleep a bit longer." She hummed. "But! We need to go to Vale. I want to see the decorations."

"Always one for the scenery." Ruby smiled and hugged Pyrrha close to her.

"Gotcha!" Yang said with a victorious tone.

The other girls looked to see Yang grinning as she was straddling Nora's waist. "So about that kiss you took from me, hm?"

"It's mine! Mine I tell you! You'll never have i- Hmph!" She was cut off as Yang slammed her lips against her fellow general and shoved her tongue down her throat.

"Phua!" Yang gasps and licked her lips.

"You…you monster." Nora whispered.

"Aren't we all?" The blonde grinned.

Nora then pouted.

"Tell you what, Nor." Yang offered. "I'll give you that 'special' message you like s~o much." She said in a sensual tone as she rubbed Nora's taught stomach.

The ginger shuddered at the feeling of warm hands. "I'll…think about it."

Penny giggled as she slipped off the bed. "I should return to my teammates. They are more than likely come to the conclusion that I've spent the night here again." She then tilted her head to the side. "Will we be able to go out and walk around Vale?" She asked.

"I don't see any reason not to." Weiss shrugged. "Classes are free today, so we can leave at noon."

"Sounds like a plan." Ruby smiled. "Maybe we can invite CVFY too." She suggested.

"Hm." Blake hummed. "Then we'll need to get ready then."

"Okay!" Nora cheered. "Let's go get ready, Pyr!" She gave each of the females a kiss and pulled the champion to their room.

Ruby sighed in bliss after the door closed shut and let out a girly squeal. "Yes!"

"Ha!" Yang grinned. "We finally have her in the fold. But why didn't you mark her?"

"I couldn't." Ruby shook her head. "Not what she just went through prior to that. Who knows what she'll do once those memories come in."

The other generals stayed silent at that.

"We'll need to do this soon or later." Blake spoke.

"I know." Ruby sighed.

Penny hugged her lover and pecked her forehead. "Fret not, Ruby. I believe all will go well in our end."

"Thank you, Penny." The silver eyed female smiled.

TGG

"O~h. Look at that to~p." Coco hummed at the mannequin that wore some rather high profit clothing, the veteran student eyeing it with critical judgment. "You know if you wear that with that blue jacket you have back in the dorm, it could make your breasts look really filled out."

"Coco, please." Velvet whined with her face red.

"You do have a nice body." Yang agreed, giving the rabbit Faunus a thumbs up.

Teams RWBY, JNPR, WPRZ, and CVFY had gone to the mall in Vale.

Ruby laughed this and couldn't help but come to the Faunus' defense. "Come on, Coco. Give her a break."

"Hm…" The fashionista hummed as she lowered her glasses, looking at the shorter female. "Don't think that I can't find some good duds for you too, Lil Reaper." She winked.

"Oh?" Ruby smiled. "Bring it." She then grinned. "Maybe I'll help you get some really nice and sexy under wears for that beautiful body for you."

"O~h. You're so bold." The older female grinned.

Velvet was looking between the two team leaders and sighed, her ears drooping forward. "Why 'an you jus' let it go…" She muttered.

Blake patted the brunette on the back with a small smile. "To be fair, I'm here for you."

"Like a Beowolf in a field of Hoppers!" Nora laughed. "So!" She looked to Weiss. "What else are we going to buy?"

The Faunus born Schnee hummed. 'There's that new lingerie I saw earlier, but I want to keep that a surprise for next week.' "Nothing I can think of so far."

"Yes!" A tired Jaune Arc shouted.

The boys had the misfortune to carry almost all the bags from the twelve females.

"You'll get used to it, Arc." Fox muttered as he had his arms folded across his chest.

Both Ren and Daichi nodded mutely, agreeing with the pale eyed male.

...

Pyrrha was humming as Penny was looking at various clothing. "What do you think about this one, Penny?" The champion asked the pink bow wearing ginger.

The once android hummed and rubbed her chin. "That green shirt truly brings out your eyes." She smiled as she looked around some racks and walked to one. She reached to the clothes and pulls out a black skirt that should reach to the champion's knees, a slit on the side. "Why don't you try them on?" She suggested.

"I could." Pyrrha nodded.

...

Mina hummed as she looked herself in the mirror, wearing a red thong and matching skimpy bra. "I wish my breasts were at least a B-cup." She huffed as she looked to the left.

"Hm?" Zest looked to her team leader, wearing a risqué black bra and panty set, her bust bouncing through the movement.

"Seeing something you like, boss?" Mei giggled, wearing a set of yellow underwear, that shows little to the imagination and the bra pressing her breasts to show more cleavage.

Mina grumbled about big breasted teammates and took a deep breath. "I believe that we should talk bout something."

"What's wrong?" Zest asked.

"Concerning a certain teammate that smells like sex." The Loli went straight to the point.

"Finally going to bring that up, huh?" Mei muttered.

Mina nodded. "I suppose we have all been...hesitant." She muttered, cupping her own chin.

Zest stood there, silent for a moment. "It is easy to see that we do harbor feelings to…Ruby." She said, trying to call her charge's lover by name. "But what of the rest?" She questioned. "Clearly they are all part of some polygamous relationship."

"So what?" Mei grinned. "Means we can either join, fall for someone else, or live a lonely life."

"I prefer to live with whom I harbor these feelings for." Mina stated.

"Oh! I have a plan!" Mei chuckled.

"Does it involve us?" Zest requested.

"Of course it does." Mei sounded sure. "And by the end of it, we'll be sharing a bed." She added with dusted cheeks.

...

"Hey." Yang popped her head through the curtain with a large grin on her face.

"Ah!" Pyrrha gasps in shock as she was wearing a red bra and the black skirt that Penny advised. "Yang!" She hugged her arms across her bra clad breasts.

"Nothing to hide, babe." The Xiao Long grinned as she stepped inside and leaned against the wall. "How are you holding up?"

Pyrrha blushed. "I'm okay."

"How okay are you?" Penny popped her head in, smile on her face.

Pyrrha then smiled as she uncrossed her arms and folded them under bust. "Do I look good?" She teased as she pushed out a bit more of her cleavage.

"You're beautiful as ever Pyrrha." Penny commented as she and Yang stepped into the changing booth.

Yang giggled as she stepped up to the champion and hugged her. "I think we've infected you with a lot of boldness." She smiled.

"You have been rubbing off on me." She smiled.

"We'll be rubbing a lot when you're up for it." The freckled face ginger pecked the champion's cheeks, earning a small giggle from the redhead.

"I'm happy for the choice that I made last night." The redhead spoke, hugging the warmer young woman.

"Yeah." The blonde Grimm general sighed. 'If only we came back just to be with the people we love and not vengeance.' She thought.

"Pyrrha?" Jaune's voice was heard from outside the changing area. "Are you here?"

'This guy really knows how to ruin a romantic moment.' Penny huffed with a frown.

Pyrrha placed a finger on her blonde lover's lips before she can say anything and pulled Penny close. "I'm right here, Jaune." She replied as Yang moved behind her, wrapping her strong arms around the champion's waist, the brawler glaring at the curtains while Penny leaned against her right shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"I...wanted to say how sorry I am about last night." He sighed. "I feel like I was coming on too hard and..." He sighed.

"It's okay, Jaune." Pyrrha said.

"Really?" The blonde male said in shock, joy, and relief. "Thanks." He sighed.

"Is...there anything else?" The champion asked, ignoring Yang's fingers tracing over her stomach and Penny's light kisses.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?" He hoped. "To patch things up between us." He quickly added.

'She's ours!' Yang and Penny mentally growled as one.

"I'll let you know, of course." The champion replied with a small smile. "Let me think about it."

"Great!" The blonde grinned sounding excited from the reply.

"Excuse me, sir, but I would like for you to give the guesses some privacy while their changing." A female clerk told the blonde male.

"Oh. Sorry about that." Jaune rubbed his head. "We're gathering at the food court. We'll meet you there." He then made his way to the area.

"The nerve of that guy." Yang muttered as her eyes cooled to lilac. "After what he did..."

Pyrrha placed her hands on the brawler's. "We're just going out as friends." Pyrrha spoke. "What happened last night was just reactions between him and I." She turned in the blonde female's arms, wrapping her own around her neck. "I'll admit that I did harbor a crush on him." She smiled. "And your sister."

Penny blinked at that. "Getting bicurious, huh?" She joked.

"Maybe not. I'm hooked to girls at the moment." The champion smiled.

Yang pecked the champion's lips with a chaste kiss. "We love you, Pyrrha."

"For eternity." Penny added as she too gave the champion a chaste peck on her lips.

"I can tell that you all do. I don't know for how long, but it felt like I...wanted this." The champion replied, pulling the two into a warm embrace.

"I still don't like that you said okay just like that." Yang muttered.

"Are you jealous Yang Xiao Long?" Pyrrha teased.

"Well he does have a penis." Penny tilted her head to the side.

Yang snorted. "I think you need a magnifying glass for that."

"Is it...that small?" The bow wearing ginger hummed.

Yang couldn't but laugh at that as Pyrrha giggled.

TGG

A female stepped into the mall, gaining the attention of many due to her dress code and hair color. She wears a white jacket torso with a pink interior that reaches above her stomach, brown pants, and gray boots with very high heels. Under her jacket is a black corset that shows the shapes of her impressive D-cup bust, her short stature making them seem rather bigger and was curved in the middle at the bottom, exposing her creamy hips with a diamond cut out showing her belly button. She also wears a multitude of necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck. Her hair was right half pink and left half brown with a thick white streak through the pink half, also note the fox ears of their respected colors with white fluff tips. Her eyes are hetrochomia, matching her hair. She blinked, eyes changing places, but the pink was now cream colored. 'Now to get that ice-cream.' She thought as she made her way to the food court. 'Can't work on an empty stomach, right?' She made her way as swayed her parasol from back and fro.

TGG

"Hm." Ruby hummed as she placed a spoon of strawberry and cream ice-cream. "This is the best." She smiled.

"I agree." Blake nodded, taking a sip of her blackberry yoghurt smoothie. "Here. Try some." she offered the Schnee heiress.

"Hm?" Weiss was drinking a very cold and it made several guesses that passed by shiver from it. "Sure." She took a sip and hummed from the taste. "Is has a nice flavor. Maybe I'll take some when we leave."

"You girls a great to hang out with." Coco laughed, sipping on some mocha flavored coffee. "Jeez. Why didn't we decide this earlier, huh?" She asked nudging Daichi's side.

The taller male didn't even feel the smaller female's elbow. "Because we had some missions to deal with." He replied as he took a sip of green tea.

"I guess relaxing sometimes is as good as any." Fox grunted as he leaned back on his chair.

"I'm just glad we're having a break from carrying those clothes." Jaune sighed.

"I agree." Ren nodded as he sipped his blackberry tea.

"Pussies." Ruby muttered.

"Ruby. Language." Velvet blushed.

Ruby eyed the rabbit Faunus with a smile. "Don't you curse, Buns?" She hummed.

"Well..." The young Scarlatina muttered, ears flopped down.

"She has her moments." Coco winked.

"Would be good moments." Nora laughed.

"Yoo-hoo!" Yang greeted with Pyrrha and Penny as they walked to their lovers and fellow hunters. "Look who got a dress up!"

Pyrrha was, once again, the unwilling center of attention just as she had entered the mall hours earlier. She was used to it, at least to a degree. She blushed as her blonde lover wrapped a comforting arm around her waist as she is guided to the table.

"Woah..." Jaune breathed at the sight of the champion. "You look great." He spoke without thinking.

"Thank you, Jaune." Pyrrha nodded.

"Looking good, Champ." Coco gave a thumbs up.

"It was thanks to Penny." Pyrrha smiled.

"Hm!" Said female puffed out her chest proudly, causing many to laugh in good nature.

"You look great, Pyr." Ruby smiled lovingly at the redhead.

"Looks like we've arrived in time." Mina spoke as she and the two other Faunus of her team showed up, carrying bags with their chosen clothes.

"Not bad." Mei commented to Pyrrha's clothes.

Mina simply huffed as she looked to the redhead and grinned. 'We'll have to rack up our games.' She thought.

Suddenly Ruby stood up. "Bathroom." Was all she said before she rushed off.

"Uhm...okay." Mei blinked.

Yang cast a glance to her fellow generals.

TGG

"Needed that." Ruby sighed after stepping out of the female bathroom.

"Hey! What the hell?!" A man shouted.

"Hm?" The silver eyed female blinked at that. Deciding to be a curious human being, she went to see what the noise was all about.

...

Neo smiled happily as she walked out with an ice-cream that has seven different flavors, many of Faunus kind around her.

"Please come again." A kind goat horned lady smiled.

Neo waved back and went on her way. 'I was glad that they had a Faunus district.' She thought, remembering that she herself had a fair share of being on the receiving end of racism due to her heritage. 'This is gonna be a treat for me!' She thought, licking her lips. She was about to take a lick of the tasty treat just as she passed around a corner.

Sadly, it was knocked off when she accidently collided with a bigger person, her treat hitting his clothes and down to the floor.

"Hey! What the hell?!" The man shouted. He stood at six feet and was buffed. He has tanned skin and shaggy neck length black hair. He glared at the small figured woman with narrowed orange eyes. He was dressed in a rather expensive clothing that consists of a black silk shirt opened to show a portion of his chest and skinny white pants and polished black shoes, all stain with her dearly departed ice-cream. "You better fucking pay for this, you runt." He grunted with a huff as he now focused on her animal traits. "Damn animal." He spat.

He was also acomponied by two other men.

Neo wasn't paying attention as she looked wide eyed at the remains of her ice-cream she lost. 'Mine ice-cre~am.' She mentally bemoaned.

...

Once Ruby reached the area a smile suddenly sprung on her face. 'That's Neo! Things are looking out for us! And she's a Faunus? Those ears are SO adorable! Almost as adorable as Blake's.' She mentally gushed.

...

Neo allowed a frown on her face as she turned. 'Guess I'll buy another one.' Before she could take a step away, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Without a word, she looked to the far taller male.

"Are you seriously going to walk away from the damage you made, bitch?" He motioned to the stains on his clothes

Neo waved her hand in sign language.

"What kind of hocus pocus bullshit is that?" The man growled. "Is that retard animal for 'I'll pay for your clothes I stained.'? Because that better be what you're offering."

"She's saying to clean it yourself." Ruby spoke as she neared the two, getting four's attention. She then held Neo's right hand with her left. "I thought I told you to wait for me inside and not to wander around alone." She spoke.

Neo instantly caught on and looked down 'shamefully' and signed 'I'm sorry'.

"Listen. Sorry about that." Ruby began as she motioned to the multi-haired female. "My friend here got in an accident and she can't talk because of it. So can you do her a solid and let bygones be bygone?"

Neo looked at her.'Fast thinker.' She liked that.

"Fuck that." The man instantly retorted. "One of you will pay for this mess on my newly bought clothes or…" He eyed them and a sleazy smile came to his face. "You would do me a favor."

"Nope. Not inerested." Ruby instantly replied and shook her head. "C'mon. We gotta meet the others."

The two other males stood before them.

"Do you really want to do this?" She raised an eyebrow at the two other males that accompanied the stained clothed male, none moving an inch. She then looked to the older male, "How about a deal." She began. "I shake your hand, you kneel to me, and you'll leave us and anyone I'm associated with alone for rest of your life until you die."

The man snorted and the other two chuckled. "Listen, little missy." He started.

"Oh. You scared?" She cut him off with a jeer, causing them to scowl at her action. "C'mon." She held out her right hand. "Just a hand shake."

The man snorted and held the young Rose's hand to humor her.

Ruby applied some force to her grip. Seeing his face twitched a bit¸ she grinned and began to mock him. "C'mon, big guy." She added more pressure her face turned neutral. "Kneel." She commanded.

Neo watched in fascination as the slightly taller female was breaking the far taller man's ego. 'That's hot.'

The man grunted as he can feel his hand grinding under the smaller hand's strength. 'Shit. Is her hand prosthetic?' He thought.

"Swallow your pride and kneel." Ruby said as the man struggled against her grip. "If you don't I might break your hand." She warned without a care.

"Y-You're cheating." The man claimed, stopping his knees from buckling. "You have to be wearing prosthetics!" He accused.

"Do you have proof? Do you hear any wiring of mechanics. Light pressure valves exhausts? Gears turning? Or even that my skin is synthetic?" With every question, her grip got stronger. "The deal was simple. We shake hands, you kneel, and we'll part ways until your last breath." She added more force, causing the man to grunt in pain. "And you're still standing."

Neo blinked at that. 'She's really good.'

The other man snorted, trying to keep up his bravado. "And why should I?" The taller man grunted in pain as more pressure was added to his hand.

"I'll fucking break your hand." Ruby warned.

The man can feel his bones were close to cracking.

"Stop her damn it." The man gritted between his teeth.

One of males pulled out a switch blade and held it at the ready.

'Blake.' The silver haired female thought.

From the corner, two copies leaped out, both brandish a copy of Gamboul Shroud, and held them at the two males' throat.

"What the hell?" The well dress man grunted.

Snap!

"Gha!" The man cried as he held his snapped wrist and fell back, holding it. "Fuck! You bitch!" He raged. "Do you know who you're fucking with?!"

"I do." She replied, not even bothered by the glare being set on her. "And I why should I care?" Ruby hummed as the copies of her panther lover giggled.

"Make it look like it was some kind of grudge murder." She simply said as she walking away, pulling a stunned Neo with her. "I'm sure he would have an enemy or two."

"Of course." The copies acknowledged and slashed the the two men's throat, causing them to fall back and bleed from the wound.

The well dressed man looked in shock and fear. "W-Wait!" He held his injured hand up as he crawled back with his good one. "I'm the son of the council member! You will not get away with this!"

The clones looked to each other and then back at the human before them. Their eyes then shined with killer intent.

"We know." They replied.

TGG

'And...deleted.' Penny thought as she rested agaisnt Nora's shoulder, having hacked the security cameras around Ruby's area at all angle and deleted the memory and the back up system. 'My, my. Ruby is rather ruthless with the enemy. But that man's weak. Why bother with him?' She thought with her head tilted to the side.

Nora giggled in glee as she opened her eyes. "Oh, Ruby..." She hummed.

Blake hummed and then opened her eyes. "Done." She muttered with Yang nodding, her arms around Pyrhha's waist, the champion sitting between the hot and cold duo.

"Hey girls and guys!" Ruby called the group. "I made a new friend!"

"A fox." Blake muttered.

"Well concidering her semblance." Weiss took a sip of her drink and sighed . "I think it makes sense." She added.

"Those ears are so cute!" Nora squeeled.

Neo blinked and gave a single 'nervious' hand wave.

...

"So where did you meet her?" Yang asked.

"At the parking lot surounded by some guys that are jealous of her ears." Ruby replied cutely.

"I guess they're cute." Coco muttered with a small smile. "Name's Coco Adel." She introduced herself. "Nice to meet you."

"Neo Politan." The fox Faunus typed into her scroll and showed her.

"You…can't speak, can you?" Velvet asked with a low tone.

Neo raised her head, showing them a faint jagged line across her throat. 'They were gonna find out anyway. Plus it makes for good sympathy points from them.' She mentally hummed at that, taking note of their expressions.

"Holy shit." Mei muttered with wide eyes.

"O~h." Velvet eyes began to tear up at the jagged scar across the female fox Faunus' throat.

'She didn't have that injury in our original timeline since she was naturraly a mute.' Weiss thought, looking at scar. 'It looks to be years old.' She hummed.

"Fuck." Yang muttered as Pyrrha held her right hand over her mouth.

Ruby leaned a bit. "How?" She asked.

Neo simply shook her head. "I just wanted to show you this. I don't really want to talk about."

Ruby nodded. "I won't push it. But if you want to talk about anything let me know." She offered.

Neo blinked and nodded, a small smile on her lips.

"So how old are you anyway?" Coco asked, deciding to change the subject.

Neo held up two peace signs and gave a grin.

"Double peace?" Jaune blinked at that.

The multi colored hair female gave him a deadpanned expression as she used her sign language.

"She's twenty." Ruby translated.

"What?!" Majority of the teens exclaimed in surprise, getting the attention of several of the costumers.

Neo pouted. She pouted like a child that's been giving the ice cream she hated the most. "I'm not that old." She decided to type.

Ruby giggled. "You look younger than my friends due to your height and appearance."

Neo let a muted sigh escape her lips as her ears flicked a bit.

Yang then shook her head as she stood up. "So! Who's ready for movies?!"

"Oh!" Nora raised her hand. "I heard 'Do Much 3' is out!"

"Another Spruce Willis film?" Blake raised an eyebrow. "Why not look at one with Wetley Snips?"

"Everyone ws prety hyped up for that' 'Razor 3' that's out now too." Mina put in.

"I wouldn't mind seeing it." Ruby hummed.

"Then we'll split into two groups." Yang grinned. "Or more if you're interested in a diffrent movie, of course." She added with a wave of her hand.

The students and Neo look among each other.

...

"This movie is kind of bad." Mina muttered.

The small blonde along with Ruby, Neo, Fox, Zest, Mei, and Penny, all sitting in that order, we're enjoying how the MC of the movie was slashing away at human and Faunus infected by some black dust that turns them into blood craving goons.

"Kinda regretful." Ruby agreed as she popped a popcorn into her mouth and the offering some of it to the small blonde.

"I have watched many horror films." The Loli blonde took the treat and ate it. "I was hoping that it would be good." She pouted. 'That ruined it.'

Neo patted Ruby's leg and pointed at the large tub of popcorn on the lap.

Ruby smiled and offered her lightly buttered treat.

Licking her lips, the fox Faunus took some of it and picked them out to eat one at a time with a smile on her face.

Fox was eating some nachos, sitting between Neo and Zest. He has tried to strike a convostion with the chimera Faunus, but barely got a word out due to Mei talking to her teammate. He couldn't talk to Neo due to her being forcefully mute and him not knowing sign language. 'How can I pull this off?' He thought as he is interested in Zest and shown interest the small older female.

"So when do we make our move?" Mei asked her teammate.

Zest hummed slightly at that

Penny happily hummed as she snacked on a burger she ordered. 'I wonder what they're planning?' She glance at her teammates. She noted how they were giving small glances to her silver eyed lover and blinked. 'Oh! That's what they're planning.' She nodded and hummed. "Maybe you can try talking to her, just the four of you." She spoke, getting her Faunus teammates' attention.

They looked at their ginger friend.

"Or you wait until she approaches you, but I recommend not doing that." The Grimm general leaned in a bit. "If you wish, I can give you a plan of attack." She smiled.

...

Mina took a glance to her shared crush, and couldn't stop herself from fantasizing of a happy future. 'I wonder if we can.' She thought as she slowly leaned her head closer until it rested on her shoulder.

Ruby felt the weight on her right shoulder and looked to see a slightly red faced Mina leaning against her. She smiled and gently took her left hand.

Neo smiled as she saw the gore, the memory of how the red tipped blackette casually ordered the deaths of the three males. She took a glance at said female and wondered if she was skilled in any other...departments.

Ruby sensed the Faunus' eyes on her she sent a small smile. "Hope you're enjoying the movie." She said.

Neo nodded and saw the small blonde leaning against the red tipped blackette, actually feeling a hint of jealousy about this. She gave thumbs up before she leaned against her shoulder.

Ruby was looking between the two females. She did not think that it would come to this. 'I wonder how the others are doing?'

None realized a female was looking at the group.

Specifically, at Penny

...

Coco, Velvet, Ren, Nora, and Blake were looking at a movie that involved a Faunus man with human wife being kidnapped and needs to gather three relics in order to find the people that took his love and rescue her.

"Boring." Nora muttered as she saw the MC preformed some combo to a man before kicking him down with a quick axe drop. "I actually thought that this movie would've been better, but our lives are better and more dangerous than this."

"Nora." Ren spoke in a soft reprimanding tone as he felt some of the other movie viewers looking to their direction. "Please don't cause us trouble."

"Pft." The ginger waved her hand. "Don't worry, Renny. What are civilians compared to Grimm?" She shrugged.

Blake's ears flickered as she ate some tuna flavored popcorn. "Livestock." She muttered.

Don't ask, it's fanfic.

"Normal humans and are as much prey to them as we are." Ren replied.

"But we have a better chance of survival due to our training." Nora pointed out. 'Unlike these weaklings.' She thought to herself. 'Why we bothered protecting them was beyond me.'

Blake tapped Nora's thigh to get her attention. Once her ginger lover looked to her, she popped a corn in her mouth.

The lightning general blinked as she chewed the treat and then swallowed it. "Could use some hot sauce." She muttered.

Blake giggled bit and leaned closer to her fellow polygamous lover. "I have some sauce, but it's warm." She whispered in a low and husky tone.

Nora snorted and gently held the Faunus' hand. "I willing to take that treat later." She muttered.

Blake winked as she leaned back on her seat, her hold on her ginger lover still.

Velvet's face had a slight pink tinged after picking up on some of the words between the Valkyrie and the Belladonna. 'Are they together too?' She thought. 'But I thought…'

'Well this is interesting.' Coco mentally mused at the sight at how close the NB are. 'If I didn't know any better, Lil Reaper might have a harem.' She chuckled at that and gave the movie her attention. 'This movie sucks though.'

...

"Why did you pick this movie again?" Weiss whispered simply out of curiosity to her human lover.

"I wanted to see a romance movie." Pyrrha replied.

Weiss, Pyrrha, Yang, Jaune, and Yatsuhashi is the third group.

"It's not that bad." Jaune spoke.

"I have been meaning to see this since it came out." The champion admitted with a smiled.

The redhead sat at a rather comfortable position with Weiss' hand gently holding her head on her shoulder and Yang enjoying their presence.

The movie that she wanted to look at revolved between the love of two opposing people from two enemy lands. A male prince and a female general.

Yang snorted softly. "I could see that happening."

"Perhaps." Weiss nodded. She took a sip of her ice cold beverage. "This movie adds a rather relaxing pace in our life."

Yatsuhashi remained silent as he enjoyed the movie with a rather large bag of popcorn, the person beside was intrigued by the size of its buttery contents.

Pyrrha smile as she leaned against Yang's shoulder and pulled the arm rest up to allow the Schnee heiress to lean against the champion.

Jaune was surprised by this and simply chalked it up as girl stuff. He'll just be patient until they go out and he can woo her with his charms.

Yeah...charms

...

Mina hummed at the ending credits of the movie, disappointed at how it finished. "Well that was something." She muttered as she along with those she came with stood up and left the room.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go to the bathroom." Penny said as she left the group.

"Must have been that burger." Mina hummed.

Ruby nodded, noting someone else had entered the bathroom with a purpose too. "You guys go ahead. I'll make sure she's okay."

Mina, Mei, and Zest didn't want to leave the two alone for obvious reasons.

Neo just wanted to see a show between the ginger and the red tipped blackette.

She wouldn't mind joining either.

Fox could care less since he could try his best with the two females he now fancies.

"I'll meet you with the others at the main entrance." She gave them a smile before she left.

Mei patted Mina's head. "Let's go, boss."

With that, the group left to meet the others.

...

Penny sighed as she stepped out of one of the stalls and washed her hands. 'I'll never get used to using the bathroom.' She thought. 'It's a very strange feeling allowing these fluids to be drained from there.' She shuddered in mild pleasure.

"I hope you've had enough time fooling around, Penny?" A female spoke.

The ginger gasps and turned to see a female standing there, wearing a blue shirt over her B-cup bust and knee length black pants with boots on her feet. She has light chocolate tanned skin, short, navy blue hair and blue eyes. She also has a gold marking consisting of an oval shape surrounded by four smaller circles in the center of her forehead.

"Ciel?" Penny blinked in surprise, shocked that she saw the female in Vale.

"I knew it was you." The now known Ciel spoke with a frown on her face, mentally noting how very real her actions were like that of a normal person. "What are you doing here in Vale of all places and among civilians? You are very far away from Atlas and professor Polendina is worried sick about your whereabouts."

"I've decided to attend Beacon." The ginger replied. "I tried contacting father, but he did not answer. So decided to make do with my choices."

'She didn't hiccup.' Ciel kept her expression, but was internally shocked. 'What happened to the fail safe?' She then sighed. "Be that as it may, I'll have you accompany me in my return to Atlas. I have been ordered by both the general and the professor to bring you back. Please comply." She more than ordered.

"I'm sorry, Ciel, but I will not." Penny shook her head. "I like it here." She smiled. "I've found friends, a home, and love."

"How can you know what these words mean?" Ciel asked with scrutiny, feeling like she's wasting her time as she checked her watch.

"Because I do." Penny kept her smile.

Ciel could only shake her head. "We need to leave." The female reached and held the ginger's arm.

Penny took a step back and her smile was replaced with a frown. "I will not go with you, Ciel. I am my own person. Geppet have no rights to decide my fate simply because he created me." She looked at Ciel's shocked expression at how she mentioned her creator's name with such controlled but heavy hostility. "I hojesly wondered why took so long to finally send someone much more smarter than a few foot soldiers." She remarked.

The tanned female grunted as she ignored the last statement. "You're not human. How many times must that be told?" She spoke. "Never mind. We'll fix whatever bug you have and you'll be back to normal. Aktivieren Sie den Standby-Modus (Enable standby mode). Zugangscode (Access code): DR5G-UH6F-BT78. Bestätigen (Acknowledge)." She then waited to see Penny shut down in order to erase her memory and reboot her system.

But she was rather surprised as the ginger simply raised an eyebrow. "I forgot to mention that any forms of deactivating me are completely useless."

Ciel's eyes widened as she looked at the freckled faced general in shock. "What's going?" Her voice shook. "Why are you still active?"

Penny stepped closer to the female, a smile creeping along her features.

Ciel stepped stepped way until she felt her back hit the wall. "P-Penny?"

Penny was feeling rather good, sensing the fear, and nervousness coming from the normally calm female before her.

'Something smells good.' Ruby thought as she stepped in, seeing Penny cornering the female Atlasian. "Penny. Babe, you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine, Ruby." She spoke with a smile as she looked back to her leader.

"Alright." Ruby sighed. "Who's your friend?"

"Someone that wanted to know about some of the best places to eat here in Vale." Penny replied. "I'll be right with you, Ruby. I have to give her some directions."

Ruby looked over the tanned female and shrugged. "I'll see you outside then." She then left.

Penny leaned forward a bit. "You best leave, Ciel." She spoke, her tone low and menacing. "I consider you a friend and I would like you to be safe. Tell my father and the general that you have not found me and leave it at that." She turned and walked away. "Make up a believable lie or sorts."

Ciel slowly slipped to her knees, feeling like she was being stared down by a being beyond her comprehension. 'I…I have to make a report.' She thought. 'Penny has malfunction.'

...

Ruby and Penny went to meet up wih the others. "What was that about?" The silver eyed female asked her pink bow wearing lover.

"Her name is Ciel Soeil. She is a student of Atlas Military Academy. As you know, it is under leadership of James Ironwood."

Ruby nodded. "I can assume that's she's here for you?"

Penny nodded, a small frown on her face. "They will not take me."

The silver eyed Grimm general took her love's hand. "And we won't let them either."

"I know you will." Penny smiled.

"Will she be a threat?" She asked.

"I don't believe she will be." Penny replied. "But we should keep an eye out for those that would look for me."

"I know." The shorter female agreed.

...

"There they are." Coco motioned to the approaching duo. "Took you too long enough. Any longer and I'd have to send a search party."

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Ruby chuckled.

"We were talking about going to this new pizza place that was opened for a few weeks now." The older female spoke with a shake of her head.

"Being a hunter has its perks." Yang patter her stomach.

Ruby shrugged with Penny giggling. "Sure."

As the group left, Ciel kept her eyes on them from the distance. "I need to look into this." She muttered as she pulled out her scroll.

...

"That traitor is there." A male spoke with a calm matter. He wears a red hooded jacket that leads to his hips and a black jeans, a hole is cut out for his corsac tail. He wears a set of black gloves. He wears black open-toed sandals with fabric extending up to his knees. "We must report to L. Adam."

"I say we get her." A second male growled. He wears a red hood that functioned partially as a cloak made of two pieces of cloth held together by buttons and string. Holes were cut in the top for his large fennec fox ears. He wears a black tunic with two sections extending farther down than the rest at his front. White trimming defined the shape of the hood and tunic. He also wore detached white sleeves, bound at the mid-bicep and the wrists. Black gloves served that function and were attached to his middle fingers. His white pants were pleated. He wore black open-toed sandals with fabric extending up to his knees. "It would be better to capture her now than later."

"At ease, Fennec." The tailed male spoke as he stood up, several other Faunus doing the same. "We will personally deliver the traitor to him." He smiled. "Be ready. We have some filthy humans to wipe away from our beloved brethrens. And some traitors to bring into order."

TGG

The place the hunters in training went to is a large three story heigh building. The group enetered and was warmly greeted by a female Faunus with snake eyes.

The got a seat and were givin a menu each.

"Oh they even have side view internal map of the place." Mei hummed.

'I wonder where the safe is.' Neo thought.

"Three stories, huh?" Yang hummed.

"They even have offices at the the top floor while there's an arcade in the second." Penny smiled. "Perhaps we can play some games?"

"I can work up an apitite." Mina hummed.

"Perhaps some entertainment is for the best." Zest stood up. "Would you like to play some games with me, Ruby?"

"Of course." She matched her huntress' grin. "Just do your best."

...

Ruby grinned as she held up her 'gun'. "Wanna go again?"

Zest giggled. "I don't think I can face you for a fourth time." She shook her head. "It's like every time we play you get further away from me in the score points." She then placed the 'gun' in the holster and sighed.

Ruby followed suit and stepped up to the taller female. "Well here I am, closer to you." She gave a cheeky grin.

"U-Uhm." The Faunus was at a lost at the sudden move. "Well I should probably catch you and hold you to myself." She suddenly spoke.

Ruby grinned and stepped closer, her face close to the tanned beauty. "Oh?" She spoke in a low husky tone. "Looking for some alone time with lil 'ol me?"

The felt something take over her and she raised her hand to caress Ruby's cheek. "How are you so bold?" She muttered, gazing into those silver eyes she'd come to admire.

"Maybe because I have a chance to make as much people as happy as possible." She spoke as Mina walked up to them.

"Do you think you can make me happy?" The small blonde wondered with a teasing smile.

Ruby turned to her fellow team leader and gave her a smile. "I intend to. Maybe we can hang out sometime?" She offered.

"I have a great idea." Mei spoke, approaching her teammates and shared crush.

"Do tell." Ruby smiled.

"How about meeting us after class tomorrow?" Mei smiled.

"I'll be there." Ruby agreed.

"Won't your team be worried if you're with us?" Mei said cheekily.

Ruby giggled and shook her head. "I'm sure they can keep their selves entertained."

"Of course we can." Yang hummed as she came around and hugged her sister with a smile. "Be sure to clean up when you're done, hm?"

Mina blushed at the implication the older blonde was implying . "It's…not like that."

"Yeah." Mei added. "We have to do a few dates first, right?" She grinned.

"Or we can skip all formalities and I make all you scream my name." Ruby smiled, earning blushed from Penny's teammates.

On the side Coco and Velvet spied at the small group.

Velvet's face was rather red as her enhance hearing picked up everything in the conversation. "I she trying to get every girl?"

Coco snickered at her partner's flushed face. "Get it together. It's obvious that they're interested in her too." She smiled.

"Then…I don't have a shot." The rabbit Faunus looked down defectively.

'Not if I can help it.' Coco thought as she came up with a plan.

…

The group was now seated after some fun.

"I've always wanted to come here." Velvet spoke as she looked around, smiling at how there are many humans and Faunus mingling together.

Ruby looked around and couldn't help the smile that came to her face. "Is this what you dream about, Buns?" She asked as she was sitting by the long eared Faunus' left.

"Yes." She nodded. "Pops always fought for equal rights with a good head on his shoulders." She looked down a bit and took a deep breath.

The generals could feel he sadness rolling of the rabbit Faunus.

Ruby understood this and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure he'd be proud of you regardless, Buns." She gave a soft smile. "You're fighting for a good future."

Velvet smiled back, appreciating the gesture. "Thank you, Ruby." She then looked to the others. "Now let's eat."

"Yeah!"

...

"I can't take another bite." Jaune groaned, leaning against his seat.

"Maybe you should have taken less." Ren stated.

"It's an all you can eat buffet. Who's says you can eat a little?" The blonde male spoke with a grin.

"The fish was pretty good though." Blake commented.

"I enjoyed my steaks." Nora chirped.

"Everything has so many flavors." Penny giggled. "I especially like the ice-cream."

"Here, here." Ruby agreed. "Those strawberry shortcake cookies though." She sighed happily. "I want to get that recipe."

"We could check online." Mei proposed.

"And maybe bake some in our free time." Mina added.

"They would make some good snacks." Zest provided with a nod.

"How many things do you girls want to with me?" Ruby chuckled.

"I haven't had this much fun in months." Coco smiled at the gathered group. "We should do this again when we have free time again." She offered.

"If everyone else is okay with it." Velvet quickly added.

"Relax, Bun-buns." Yang chuckled. "We'll always make time for friends."

Velvet smiled. "Thank you."

"Would you like anything else?" A waitress asked with a smile.

"I think we're good." Coco smiled kindly at the young woman. "We'll take the check, pay, and leave to sleep."

"Just a moment, ma'am." The waitress gave a small nod with a smile and walked away.

"This is the most fun I'd had since becoming a huntress." Coco commented with a small grin. "I really enjoyed myself today."

"Me too." Velvet smiled at her gathered friends.

"It was okay, I guess." Fox shrugged.

"A pleasurable moments between comrades." Daichi nodded.

"We should really do this again." Mei chuckled as she looked around.

"Yup!" Penny giggled.

"We interrupt this program for a special report." A woman spoke on the TV screen. "Earlier today, the body of one Heryn Prosac was found dead in Vale's Mega Mall's parking lot. It is noted that it was grudge kill due to way he was placed against the wall and the wounds inflicted to his body."

'What?' Ciel, who was sitting a few tables away from the group, thought in shock. 'That's council member Prosac's son.' She frowned.

"Mr. Heryn was twenty seven of age and was an inspiring to become a council member like his father Herold Prosac. Condolences are sent out to his family and close friends."

...

Neo looked among the groups and motioned to Ruby. Getting the scythe wielder's attention she signed what she wanted to say.

Ruby frowned. "Are you sure?"

The fox Faunus nodded.

Ruby took out her scroll and send a message to the teams, the scroll making the alert sound of receiving it.

Yang scowled as she put her scroll away, now sensing the negativity aimed at the tables in the place. 'We're about to have some company.'

As is predicting the actions of others, the main entrance to the pizzeria exploded, the patrons screaming in shock and fright as parents went to protect their young.

Some of the Faunus that was there pulled out weapons and pointed at the closes guests.

"Okay." Fox coughed. "Did we not pay attention to that." He muttered as he stood up and glared at the entrance.

"Yang, Weiss! Get the civilians out the exit!" Ruby quickly took command of her team. "Blake, make copies to get those caught in the blast out."

"Right!" The three instantly leaped into action.

"Mei! Support them! Zest go tend to the injured!"

"Team! You know what to do!" Coco shouted as she held her bag.

"We wouldn't want a fight to break out and involve the innocents now, would we?" A male with antlers on his head dressed in a White Fang uniform, mask included, spoke as he entered, several others storming in with rifles held at the ready and aiming.

The hunters in training stopped what they were doing and guided the people away from the White Fang members.

"Of all the times for us not to walk without weapons." Jaune groaned.

"You do forget that we have rocket lockers, right?" Ruby muttered with a role of her eyes.

"Now which among you would act foolishly?" He continued as his masked visage trailed over the populace. "Not stepping forward?" He smiled. "Or would you rather the police come for you? Or depending how long we stand here, we can shoot some humans." He hummed. "To ensure that we are not fooling around." He pointed at a direction and an armed member aimed and fired.

"Gha!"

The others eyes widened at brutal display as human man fell back and held his wounded shoulder, his lioness Faunus wife cried out his name as she held him.

"We do hope to come to an understanding." The man continued nonplus. 'Disgusting.' He thought as he saw the woman holding her husband to dear life.

"Bastards." Mei growled as she ready to the man apart.

"Hold." Mina held her teammate back.

"Separate the men from the woman and children." The masked Faunus commanded. "If they resist, you may deal with them however you wish." He said, earning various chuckles from the many masked terrorists.

Yang grabbed hold of Pyrrha's hand seeing that she was about to use her Semblance and shook her head.

"Don't." She muttered. "We don't want to cause a scene yet."

Pyrrha looked around and mentally berated herself.

Ruby saw Jaune shifted and was about to stop him from doing something foolish.

Fox, who was the closer to the young Arc, quickly stopped him. "Do you want to risk the lives of all these innocent people?" He questioned with a small frown on his face.

"Well someone has to stop them." He countered.

"We'll wait for now." Daichi said in a calm tone.

"Alright all of you!" A male White Fang member with a rhino's horn on his head bellowed out, a larger male with brown bear ears besides him. "You will comply or suffer the consequences." He looked among the now hostages. "We're going to the second floor. The building should have several large rooms. Women and children will be in one. Men in the other one! You will remove all electronic items from your personnel, or else!"

…

The tailed Faunus hummed as he looked over some notes, having taken the office that had a wall with various screens that showed separated areas and room of the building. He listened to the sound of the door behind him opening. "Have you found the traitor?" He asked without turning.

"We have." The deer Faunus spoke. "We have separated the males and females into separate large rooms in the second floor of the building."

"Then we will begin soon. Ensure that they feel fear." He calmly commanded. "Remind them as to why we are the apex predator and they are nothing but fodder."

"Yes, sir." The deer Faunus nodded and walked away.

The tailed Faunus was mentally going through with his plan until he heard his scroll rang. Without looking, he picked it out from his pocket to reply. He did not even get a chance to ask who it was because a voice spoke immediately.

"What do you think you are doing, Corsac?" The voice of one Adam Taurus spoke.

The now known Corsac stood up. "Leader Taurus." He muttered in reverence.

"Drop whatever you're doing and come back." He commanded.

"Forgive me, Leader Taurus." He spoke in the same tone as before. "But the traitor must be dealt with. If…" He shook his head. "When we are successful, I am sure that most of your problems will be dealt with ease." He sounded confident. "I assure you that we will not fail. And I of offer that we shall bring the traitor to you."

The bull Faunus remained silent in thought to himself. "Very well." He conceded. "You may proceed with your plan. But if anything out of the ordinary happens, you will leave."

"Of course." Corsac nodded. 'I'll have to discuss with Fennec on the changes I will make.' He plotted as he stood up.

TGG

Ozpin rubbed his brows as he looked at the picture of Flóga, wondering how such a Grimm was made. 'In all the lives I've lived, not once has a Grimm in this form ever been encountered.' He shook his head.

The elevator to his office opened and Glynda stepped in. "Sir." She gave a nod. "No new reports involving the Grimm that was in the Forever Fall Forest came up as of yet."

"It has been sometime since seeing it." The grey haired man spoke. "But we should be prepared in case it does."

The woman nodded at that. "What do you suggest?"

"I'll have Qrow look into this." He decided. "He is one of my best spies." He was confident it the person's skills and rightfully so.

"I see." The deputy head mistress of Beacon hummed. "And of the teams that encountered the Grimm?"

"They'll have to train, as will every other hunter in training shall." Ozpin replied, pulling out his scroll. "Will you do me a favor and contact James? I'll need him to send a specialist in case that Grimm does appear near Beacon. The last thing I need is a student's untimely demise within the perimeter of the academy." He spoke.

The woman hesitated for a while. "Of course, Mr. Ozpin." She nodded and left.

Ozpin took a deep breath and dialed the number he selected.

"Hey, Ozi. How's it going?" a man spoke with drunken slur.

"Hello, Qrow." The man greeted in return. "I need a favor."

"No need to ask twice, Ozi." The man spoke. "What can this dusty old crow do for ya?"

"I need you to look into an incidenet that happened a few weeks ago." The headmaster of Beacon spoke as he sent the pictures of Floga to the man.

"Holy shit." The man spoke, his drunkeness seemingly gone. "One of Salem's new work, I take?" He more than commented.

"I believe it is, my friend." Ozpin spoke. "She also seems to use something similar to aura."

"That's fucked up." The male muttered. "I'm going to check the area, see what I can pick up. I'll let you know what I find, okay?"

"Thank you, Qrow." The man sighed in relief.

"No problem, Ozi. No problem." The other man replied. "Oh! How are my nieces doing?" He asked with a chuckle. "I'm sure they are doing as good we were when we're their age."

"They are doing very well." He spoke in praise. "They have far exceeded my expectation along with Team JNPR and another team, WPRZ. I must admit, I was rather hesistant in putting young Rose as team leader, but I felt my doubts were misplaced."

"She is Summer's daughter after all." Qrow replied with a smug tone.

"Indeed she is." Ozpin agreed. "Yang has showed traits from both Taiyang and Raven,"

"Don't remind me." The man groused with affection. "One Raven is enough already." He sighed. "At least she has Taiyang's heart." He sounded appreciated by that fact. "Who are their teammates anyway? I haven't had that much contact with them except for a few calls we've managed." He laughed. "Never did get around asking them."

"Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee." Ozpin replied.

"Ghira's and Jaque's daughters, huh?" He sounded amused. "A Faunus and a Schnee in the same team. How is that working out?"

"Fortunately it is going very well." Ozpin replied.

"That's good." The other man replied with a sigh.

"Indeed." The headmaster hummed."Borthers know how it would be if she was like her father."

"That would be calling a Goliath small." The man joked, Ozpin hearing the TV click on. "Ozpin." Qrow suddenly spoke. "Check the news. Now."

The older man did so and did not like what he's seeing.

"The White Fang had attacked a family friendly building and has held the clients and employees hostage, few having escaped with help." A female reporter spoke, the building behind her with several White Fang members armed with several weapons. "At the moment, they have made no demands. About a half hour ago, shots were fired and we do hope that there are no casualties."

"I remebered getting a call from Yang earlier saying that they would eat at that place." Qrow muttered. "I'm going over there."

"Qrow." Ozpin tried to call the man, but the call was cut off. "What is going on?" He asked no one in particular.

TGG

Adam grunted as he walked through his hidden headquarters. "That fool is going to die or at best, captured." He muttered and entered his office. He then thought for a moment. "This could work in my favor." He hummed as he looked through his contacts. "Roman. I need a favor. And I'm sure you flaming friend will help too since it should be of some interest for her."

TGG

Ruby tried not to shudder in pleasure due to the amount of negative feelings flowing within the large room her and the other females along with children.

"So what's the plan?" Velvet asked. "They took all of our belongings."

"How many copies can you make, Blake?" Ruby asked her panther Faunus lover.

"As much as I want." She replied, looking around and noting that several of the guards were stationed around the room. "Making them barley puts a dent in my aura reserves."

"That's good." Ruby nodded and hummed.

"What are you planning?" Penny asked.

"I'll have Blake make some clones to distract some of the guards stationed here, preferably the heavily armed ones."

"Is that really a good idea?" Weiss questioned, wondering why the White Fang members did not try anything to her due to her Schnee heritage. "What I want to know is why they only split the hostages."

"Or didn't try to hold you for ransom." Yang added, having wondered about that too.

"Gives me a reason to pin a few of them to the wall." The dragon Schnee muttered coldly.

"Did it suddenly got colder?" Velvet shuddered as she felt her spine tingled.

Penny patted her snow haired lover's shoulder. "Everything will be fine." She smiled.

"Is papa going to be okay?" A little girl with a lioness tail cried, her mother holding the child close.

"I don't know my little cub." The woman replied, rubbing her daughter's head. "I don't know." She sniffed.

Ciel was close to the crying duo and placed a comforting hand on the mother." Do not worry, Miss. I'm sure your husband is well. I saw a few White Fang members tending to his wounds as we were being carried away."

The woman could tell that the younger female was lying for her daughter's sake. "T-Thank you." She nodded as she hugged her daughter close. "I-I'm sure he's fine." She looked to her child. "I'm sure everyone will be okay."

Ciel sighed and gave a small nod.

"Ciel."

The Atlisian female gasps when her name was called and turn to see Penny's face a few inches away from hers. The tanned female looked in shock and was wondering how the 'android' snuck up on her so suddenly.

"Look." The freckled face Grimm general spoke with a sigh, not even aware of shocking the other female when she felt her breath tickle her nose. "We have a plan, but we will need your help." She began.

'I felt her breathe.' Ciel thought in shock.

Penny frowned, seeing the human female was not rsponding so she tapped her forehead. "Ciel." She spoke, getting the girl out of her stupor.

"R-Right." She cursed as she felt rather nervious at the moment.

"Good." She smiled. "Follow me." She then walked away, the other female following her.

TGG

Jaune looked around after tending to the man's wound, binding it with some gauze he found in the medkit box. "I hope he'll be okay." He sighed as he looked back to the male.

"We managed to get the bullet out." Fox grunted. "It was a good thing it wasn't dust infused."

"I agree." Daichi nodded. "But what are they waiting for?"

Ren looked around as the gaurds rounded around them. "That's what I want to know too." He hummed.

"Use your Semblence." Jaune spoke as he too looked around. "If you managed to get out and maybe knock out the guards, we can make sure save these people." He planned. "And maybe get our scrolls to bring our weapons down here."

Ren thought this through and nodded. 'I can check on the girls too.' He nodded. "I'll check on the girls as well. Give me a moment." He spoke and three nodded. He closed his eyes and focused. Slowly, the three other male hunters felt his presence faded until it was completely gone.

Some of the other males looked around, having felt something missing, but quickly shrugged it off as paranoia.

"He's pretty damn good." Fox complimented. "To hide your existense is like not being there at all."

"That's Ren for you." Jaune smiled.

...

The magenta eyed male managed to sneak pass a set of canine Faunus, his semblance even blocking his body odor. 'That's cleared.' He thought as he walked pass, his expression impasive, heart beating steady, and mind cleared and focus. He stopped as he saw a large eared male Faunus aproaching a door that was gaurded by a bull and ox White Fang member.

"Brother Fennec." The ox Faunus nodded with a salute, slamming his right fist unto his chest.

"Corsac has called me to make changes in plans." The male spoke with a hint of unease.

"Of course." The bull Faunus nodded and opened the door, allowing the smaller male to enter.

Ren was quick to slip pass the larger duo after Fennec before the door closed. He set himself in the corner, planning to listen to whatever they were going to talk about.

"Corsac." Fennec nodded at his brother.

The taled Faunus looked to his brother and nodded. "Leader Taurus has called and ordered us to end the opperation."

"Then we will not get the traitor." The eared male gave a small growl.

"At ease, my younger sibling." Corsac planted a soft hand on his shoulder. "I have managed to convince High Leader Hector to allow us to carry on. I have even offered to personally bring the traitor to him and Adam."

"So we can do nothing to her then." Fennec spoke.

"Now I did not say that." Corsac chuckled.

"Ah." Fennec chuckled as he thought for a bit. "There are some news vans outside. I have ordered the guards stationed there not to take action."

"That will do for now, but I assume that they will make attempts to strike. Majority of humans are like that anyway." He waved his hand. He hummed as he placed his hands behind his back.

Ren remained silent, contemplating a plan.

"What about the Schnee girl?" Fennec asked with a sneer. "To dare be among our kind despite the atrocoties her family has done."

"Ah yes. The Schnee girl."Corsac hummed. "We can get Jaques for his foolish actions as well." He a allowed a cruel smile. "Even through the blood of his tainted offspring."

Hidden magenta eyes widen by the margin.

"We'll present her before the cameras in thirty minutes. If anyone tries to intervene, which I doubt, deal with them as they see fit."

"There are some rather...attractive females in there." Fennec chuckled. "That group of young females seem very appetizing in my opinion. Especially that girl with the green eyes. I just want to watch them break and fade before my eyes." He spoke with a small sinister chuckle. "And that rabbit. She looks so soft and tender. Wonder if she's pure." He licked his lips. "And maybe that little blonde girl. She has to be tight as fuck." He actually began to salivate. "Oh. The choices."

The older brother simply shook his head at his brother's perverse persona.

Ren's eyes narrowed, his focus disrupted momentarily.

"Hm?" Fennec's ears twitched as he looked to the corner.

"Something wrong, Fennec?" Corsac asked.

The large eared Faunus' ears twitched for several seconds and he shook his head. "Nothing, brother. I could've sworn I heard something there." He motioned to the corner.

"Really." The tailed man hummed. He swiftly pulled out a wand and shot a bolt of fire, striking the corner.

Ren had wisely moved away from there already.

"Hm." Corsac sniffed as he placed his weapon back in his jacket. "Must be a fly."

The two walked towards the door and left.

"I almost lost my focus." Ren muttered as he deactivated his semblance. "That was bad for the moment." He then took a deep breathe to calm himself. "I need to find our scrolls." He decided as he went to moniters that were at the back of the office. He looked to where the females were noted his friends were huddled together with another female. "They must be planning something." He nodded. "I hope the scrolls are in here." He muttered and looked around. "Yes." He search through a bag that filled with the communication device. He managaed to pick out his own,

"Hm?" Zest looked from her friends as she noted two Faunus that shared the same fox traits of ears and tail entered. "Girls." She nodded at the two.

Blake turned to and frowned. "Corsac and Fennec Albaine." She spoke to her lovers and fellow huntresses. "They're brothers and look down on human as if their worms. Corsac is the oldest and calmest of the two as for Fennec." She shrugged.

"Personality?" Yang asked as she kept an eye on the two while they talked to the guards.

"Corsac is a manipulative asshole. He revels in the sufferings in human and takes immense pleasure in torturing them to their last breath." Blake spoke, remembering how Corsac was in her alternate past. "As for Fennec." Her expression darkened. "He's a fucking psychopath that hides behind the face of an impotent cunt."

"I don't like how that sounds." Mei muttered.

"To put it simply, he's an animal." The panther Faunus growled. "He may act like his brother at times, but he's a sexist and a rapist. He'd fuck females with force be they human or Faunus. And his favorite targets are virgins."

"That's fucked up." Coco had a face of disgust.

"That's horrible." Velvet shook her head.

Neo shook her head. 'This is a more fucked up than most people I know.' She mentally commented.

"Uhm." Mei began as she motioned towards the Albaine sublings and two grunts walking towards their direction.

Ruby didn't like this. Not one bit. Especially when they stopped before them as the large eared Faunus looked between Pyrrha, Velvet, Zest, and Mina with sick perversion.

"Hello, Blake." Corsac greeted in a false joy. "So glad to see you again."

Some of the other females within hearing distance looked on.

"Wish I can say the same." She said back. "Still riding on Adam's dick?"

The smile on Corac's face remained, but the other White Fang members looked at her with contempt. "I simply came to meet an old friend."

"Aha." She nodded. "And the smell of shit coming from you is like a field of roses."

"That's nasty." Yang muttered with a smirk.

"I see no reason why you had to turn away from our just cause." The tailed Faunus spoke.

"The cause that makes humans fear us more?" The ex-member growled out as she stood up.

"Watch it, bitch." Fennec growled out. "You don't have nothing to defend yourself with."

"Wanna try me, fucktard?" Blake challenged as Yang stood up and cracked her knuckles.

"Step aside, human." One of the grunts, a bear Faunus, stepped forward and attempted to push her down.

Yang responded by grabbing the offending hand, squeezing it to breaking point.

"Gha!" The man grunted as he tried to pull off his hand.

"I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Yang smiled in a rather devious manner that sent the man's instinct to run, but couldn't due the firm grip that the Xiao Long has. "Because all I hear is bones cracking.

Snap!"

"Ah!" The man cried out as he held his broken wrist.

'They really are like sisters.' Neo mentally commented.

"Do you wish to be attended to?" Corsac spoke, not even bothered by the rebellious display. He had more people on his side anyway.

"Oh by all means, big boy." Yang motioned the tailed Faunus. "Come and 'tend' to me. I'm sure I break your legs for the shit you did." She growled as her eyes burned red.

"Stupid bitch." Fennec was not liking how the young woman was being defiant despite the situation. "Do you not care what happens to these innocent people?" He taunted.

"I'm damn sure she does." Ruby spoke. "But what's dumb is the bosses being here so early." She smiled.

Corsac scowled at the shorter female. "You have no worth to me, child."

"And you don't to me." She shot back. "But this is going to end in two ways." She continues, ignoring the Faunus' growl.

"Oh?" He decided to humor her. "And how is that?"

"A lot of you are going to die. Or." She tapped her chin. "All of you are going to die. But the two of you will be among the dead."

"Is that a threat, child?" Corsac gave a small growl.

Ruby simply smirked, not even fazed by his expression. "Oh you have my word."

"Enough playing, brother, I want to have my fun." Fennec grinned as he eyed Pyrrha.

Blake snarled. "Touch her and you'll die sooner."

"As if you really took out all those grunts when you went rouge." The eared Faunus scoffed. "Grab her." He ordered the larger Faunus.

"If I get to have some fun too. I always wanted to break a champion." He grunted and was about about to reach for the Nikos.

Weiss stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "No need to touch her." She spoke as she began to freeze his hand, causing the man to cry out in pain and losing the feeling of the limb.

Many of the hostages had already moved away, the children's eyes being covered by the scene of the Faunus born Schnee freezing the large male's arm.

"Let go! Let go you Schnee bitch!" He bellowed out.

Corsac pulled out his wand and was about to attack Weiss, but Pyrrha rushed in, ramming her knee into his gut with enough force to double him over.

"Hn!" Ciel snuck up behind the Faunus and tripped him to the ground, pinning him to it.

"Brother!" Fennec shouted.

Penny took the chance and grabbed him by the throat before slamming him down on the back. "You will not move."

Fennec did not listen and he quickly pulled out his own wand.

Nora was fast enough to grab the wrist and snap it with ease. "She said not to move."

"Gha!" He yelped in pain.

"You didn't listen." Nora sang with a creepy smile.

Many of the adult females were begining to regain hope at the sight of the White Fang members being taken down.

"Alright, Blake." She nodded. "Yang you help out too."

Blake smiled as her copies warped into existence and ran ahead. Yang rushing forwards with a wide grin on her face.

TGG

A crow landed on the roof across the pallor. The head twitched to the side and its eyes glowed before the light enveloped the form, its shape reforming and growing taller.

"Oh fu~ck." Qrow groaned as he rubbed the back of his neck and grunted its stiffness. "I hate it when I do that." He grunted as he stooped on his haunches and looked over the building. "Now let's see." He looked see that some of the White Fang members were talking through the radios and several running inside with the rifles ready. "Damn. That's not good." He muttered as he pulled his weapon out.

The weapon looks like a compact short silver colored blade with two shotgun barrels flanking the flat sides. It has a clockwork mechanism of indeterminate nature built into the space above the hilt and a pair of parallel handguards is set beneath. The grip is wrapped with red bandages.

TGG

One White Fang member did not have the chance to do anything as a hand gipped his face and slammed his head against.

"That's one." The copy chuckled as another spawned from it and ran ahead.

SLAM!

The clone looked to her blonde lover who had just slammed White Fang member so hard, he broke through the wall.

"Too hard?" She asked with a small grin.

"Maybe a little." The clone replied with a small chuckle.

…

"Alright ladies this way!" Coco yelled as she and Velvet guided the females and children to the entrance.

"Halt!" Some of the WF members that came from the entrance stood in their way with their weapons aimed.

"Sword and Shield!" Mina shouted as she and her teammates went to meet the enemy, Zest at the front forming an aura wall to block the incoming ammo.

Penny summoned her swords and let them fly, making sure to disarm the grunts.

Ciel noted that and mentally made a note of that.

Mei and Mina leaped over the shield after the White Fang members were disarmed and proceeded to take them down with some well-placed crushing kicks and punches.

"Knock, disable, and imobilize them out if you have to!" The blonde loli ordered her teammates. "If push comes to shove, take 'em out!"

"Right!" The three acknowledged without hesitation as they did as ordered.

TTG

Qrow just knocked out two grunts with butt of his weapon before entering through the top of the ceiling. "Let's hope you girls are alright." He spoke before rushing in, knocking out all the grunts that were in the hallways as he made his way through.

"Stop right there!" A man shouted, aiming his dust infused rifle at the older male.

Qrow pointed above the man's head to the hanging light that was there.

Being a fool, the grunt looked up and one of the cords broke, swing down, and smacking him at the side of his head and knocking him out.

"Sometimes, my semblance can be such good luck for me." He chuckled as he pulled out his scroll to see the hourly feed of the situation, smiling at the sight f many of the females and children were being guided by a team of hunters led by a blonde loli. "Good for you kids." He nodded. 'Now I hope the others are okay.' He thought and with a flash, he was once again a crow.

TGG

Ruby smiled as she slammed another White Fang member against then wall, mentally relishing in the fear before he passed out. 'This is more fun than I thought.' She mentally hummed as she looked to Pyrrha who was with her. 'While Weiss is looking over the Albain brothers, I have someone to find.' She mentally growled as her eyes flashed as the memories of Blake losing her ear to a certain White Fang Lieutenant.

Pyrrha flicked her wrist, sending a grunt in metal armor flying to the side. 'What is this feeling of foreboding? She thought.

Ruby looked to her redhead lover. "You okay, Pyr?" She asked.

"I can't help but feel that something bad will happen." She confessed.

Ruby walked to the taller female and lovingly cupped her cheeks. "Nothing will happen to you, my love." She spoke with a loving smile.

"I'm more worried about you and the others." She admitted.

Ruby chuckled. "We'll be fine. I'm sure of it." She then leaned up and pecked the taller female's lips.

Pyrrha's heart flutter at the affectionate gesture despite the situation. 'Maybe I'm worried for nothing.' She thought.

Back on the flats of her shoes, Ruby thought of something. "Why don't you go to the others?" She offered. "I'm sure the guys have gotten through if word has gotten around."

TTG

Jaune just knocked out a White Fang member with a good right hook. "There!" The blonde grunted as he rubbed his fist. "Those are some hard masks." He then went to the man and helped him up. "We're almost there, sir."

"Thank you, young man." The injured man smiled.

"No problem." He grinned. 'We hunters are humanities and Faunus kind's saviors."

The man chuckled as he was guided outside the place.

"Kevin/papa!" The woman and child came rushing in, hugging the man gently as paramedics came to help him.

"Let me help you, sir." A female medic spoke as she and her colleague guided the man to tend to his wound.

"Not bad, Arc." Fox muttered with crossed arms.

"Guys!" Velvet shouted, happy that her friends were okay. "Are you alright?"

"Where's Ren?" Nora asked, wondering where her target is.

"We separated when he came back. I hope he's on his way." Jaune spoke. "Said he was going to see if he can bring in any evidence against the current group of White Fangs." He then looked around. "Where's RWBY and Pyrrha?"

"We got split up when we were getting the hostages out." Coco replied.

"We gotta go back in after them." The blonde male spoke.

Nora gripped his shoulder. Hard. "I'll go."

"We'll go together." Jaune spoke. Seeing that she was about to say something, he cut her off. "I'm team leader. And that's both our partners in there. If you don't want to go with someone, you might as well stay out here alone."

Blood boiling at how the blonde was talking to her, the Grimm general plastered a large convincing peppy smile on her face. "Okay. Lead the way."

Jaune sighed. 'I need to show her who's the leader of this team.' He thought to himself. He knew that Nora dislikes him and was still trying to figure out why. 'Not even Ren can get through with this and they're childhood friends.'

TGG

Fennec and Corsac Albain struggled in their binding, the one grunt with them out cold at their side.

Weiss was sitting on a chair, filing her nails with a small hum.

"Schnee spawn!" Fennec growled at the Faunus born Schnee, feeling rather annoyed at how she was ignoring him and his brother. "Unhand and face me!"

"Will you shut the fuck up?" Weiss was growled after snapping the file. "You should be 'honored' to be alive, pest." She sneered at her captives as she stood up from her seat in a regal manner. "Be happy that you will see nothing, but darkness." She hummed as she formed an ice needle in her hand. 'Before that, I'll need information of the ranking in this White Fang's timeline. That will be for later.'

"And what are you going to do with that tiny needle, hm? The eared Faunus taunted.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Schnee heiress sent a needle into the grunt's forehead, piercing it and through the back of his skull.

The brothers looked on in shock as the larger male slumped forward.

"You killed him." Corsac spoke, his expression of slight disbelief that someone so young has taken a life so easily.

"Like you've killed others." Weiss quipped. "I have no qualm taking the lives of those that are considered a threat and lower than Grimm." She huffed as she sensed the life forces of the White Fang grunts within the building dulled. "Your operation has failed you and you will be send to prison by the proper authorities."

"You're not going to kill us?" Corsac asked, successfully keeping the hope and surprise from his voice.

"Your blood is neither worth spilling nor your life being taken by my hands." Weiss gave a 'holier than thou' look.

"You think you have us beat, huh?" Fennec growled. "Damned Schnee!"

Weiss rolled her eyes as she willed the ice needle to melt into harmless water. "Such a fool. Is this how you seek equality?"

Corsac spoke before his brother can say anything foolish. "We only wish for the better man of our kind."

"Bullshit. And you know it." Weiss scoffed. "Yes. Attacking a place where family of all kinds meet really shows that." She scowled. "I'm wasting my time with this."

"Perhaps we can come to an agreement." The tailed Faunus bargained.

"I don't negotiate with terrorists." The Schnee heiress spoke. "But I'm sure you will receive some type of compensation."

TGG

Qrow ducked under a swing from one of the grunts armed with a staff. He then rushed forward and slammed the butt of his weapon down on the head and knocked him out. "This is getting annoying." He muttered as he reached into his jacket and pulled out a flask. "Come on out, kid." He uncapped it and took a long swig of it. "You can't hide from me." He muttered, placing his bottle away.

Ren landed before the older male. "Sorry." He apologized, a bit of sweat on his face. "I had to make sure if you were an enemy."

Qrow simply raised an eyebrow as he thumbed behind him, showing an amount of unconscious White Fang members. "As you can see, I'm not." He grinned. "Special agent Q, division O."

Ren blinked, an eyebrow rose by the slightest.

Qrow chuckled. "Sorry. Too much 'Men in Grimm.'" He rubbed the back of his. "So what brings a young hunter like you in this place?"

"Some of my friends are still inside." The Chinese boy replied, sensing that he can trust this man.

"Ah..." The man nodded. "I'm here for the same reason. How about we work together, hm?"

The magenta eyed male nodded.

"What's going on here?!" A large male bellowed, stepping around the corner. He stood at 7ft tall and was garbed in a White Fang uniform with an addition to a red ram like logo on his chest. On his back is what looks like a chainsaw that's as tall as he his.

"Well shit." Qrow snorted. "This is something."

"It is." The male grunted as he pulled his chainsaw and started it, the teeth blade whirling along the edge.

…

Blake stood still after slashing a grunt's throat that got a lucky shot at her side. "That sound." She muttered as she absentmindedly rubbed her right ear. 'He's here.' She thought as her feet carried her.

"Blake." Yang spoke, her lover kept on walking, knowing the sound of that particular weapon. She sensed her negativity spike. "Shit."

…

Ruby stopped and she glared at nothing.

Pyrrha noted her shorter lover stopped. "Ruby?" She questioned, having heard the sound of a chainsaw.

"We need to hurry." She spoke as she ran with Pyrrha following her. 'Blake is going to lose it.'

…

Weiss' head snapped to a direction, her pupils turned to slits. 'That bastard's here?' She thought.

Just then, several of Vale's police force entered the room.

"Free-" The female at the front stopped, noting the Schnee heiress, two bound White Fang members, and one dead Faunus.

"Take it from here, officers." The Faunus born Schnee spoke as she walked past the stunned adults. "I have a team to assist." She added with a savage grin on her face.

The group did nothing to stop the huntress in training, having the files of all academy students. "Well." One of them spoke. "You heard the miss. Cuff 'em and get me those aura suppressive collars."

The older brother caught the scent of one of the police guards. "You can't do this to us. We're on the same side."

The visor clipped up, showing green cat like eyes. "Sorry." The male let a low growl. "I don't deal with terrorists that risk the lives of innocent people. Especially my brother-in-law." He yanked tailed Faunus to his feet.

"Groups like the White Fang is what gives Faunus like my husband a bad name." The female from earlier spoke with disdain in her tone as she hauled Fennec to his feet. "Where going to put you in a cage where you belong. And you better hope we don't lose the keys."

…

Jaune and Nora were moving through the corridor, seeing a bunch of bruised and beaten White Fang member along the way. He mentally winced, and held back a bile, when he saw one of them a deep slash in their throat. 'Who can do something like that?' He thought to himself. He then heard the sound of metal clashing against each other with the added buzz saw. "This way!"

Nora followed without a word, ways of slaughtering the blonde before her passing through her mind.

…

Ren leaped over the fighting duo, missing their clashing bladed by a hairs breath. He performed a reverse summersault and landed a leg drop on the White Fang member's left should with enough force to stagger him.

Qrow took the open window and slashed down, his now larger blade carving into the larger male's chest plated armor.

"Damn human filth." The Faunus growled.

"Is that all you can say?" Qrow raised an eyebrow. "I swear you sound like bosses in video games my nieces play a lot."

Suddenly the larger male tensed as he felt a chill went down his spine before turning to see the little reaper walking around the corner in a leisure manner with the redhead champion.

Out of the other door in the corridor, slamming through it, we're Blake followed by Yang.

An ice bolt flew over Qrow's head and nailed the White Fang member's left shoulder. The man grunting in pain from the attack and went to take it out.

"I wouldn't try anything if I were you." Weiss spoke, wanting to nail his head, but didn't due to her lover's uncle being there.

Jaune ran in the corridor with a grinning Nora behind him.

"Some huddle." Qrow mumbled as he took out his flask and took a few good gulps from it. "So." He capped his flask and placed away. "You're going to give up or go down fighting?"

Before the larger male can answer, Blake swooped in; landing a heavy aura enhanced drop kick to the back of the helmet and sending him to the ground. She wanted to stomp his skull in, but refrained from it. 'I'll have my time afterwards.' She planned.

Qrow winced as he got a good look at the crack at the back of the helmet. "If he wasn't wearing that, I'm pretty sure he would be dead."

'That was the plan.' Blake thought as she rubbed her left ear.

"You okay?" The veteran hunter asked.

"Just a grunt getting close to cutting my ear." Blake simply replied with shrug.

"Okay then." The older male shrugged, not seeing anything wrong with that.

TGG

The hunters in training stood at the side after being questioned by Vale police force and were left for their devises.

"Where's Neo?" Nora wondered.

"She left for home." Ruby replied. "Some friends of hers were worried sick after the news and she left to meet them.

"I hope she reaches home safely." Pyrrha hoped.

"I'm sure she's fine, P-money." Yang grinned.

"She's a grown, little woman." Coco smiled. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

…

"Ghah!" An escaped White Fang male member fell back, his back slamming against the wall and slid down to the ground. "W-Wait!" He panted. "I…I told you everything I know!"

Neo stood panting among a plethora of beaten, bruised, and dead grunts, her face flushed in excitement accompanied with a wide grin that showed her sharp dentures. She licked her lips as she pulled out her scroll. "You told me what your rank knows. In other words, nothing of importance."

Before the man could say anything, he was stabbed in the head by a thin, strong and sturdy, blade.

Neo pulled the blade out and wiped the blood off. Her scroll vibrated and she looked to it and saw that she got a message.

Return to base. I have an assignment for you.

-CF

Neo clicked it shut and smiled as she looked to the direction of the teams she encountered today. 'Until we meet again, Ruby.' She then shattered into shards, disappearing without a trace.

…

"Well that was some show, huh?" Qrow rubbed the back of his head.

"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby rushed and hugged him, nuzzling her cheeks against his chest. "You smell like booze." She reeled back.

"Sorry about that." The older man muttered. "But seeing the news and hearing that my nieces were there." He shrugged.

"Fantastic!" Penny cheered as she too hugged the male, lifting him up with no problem. "I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Uncle Qrow!"

The older man winced after being set on his feet by the bow wearing ginger. "Yeah." He let out a slight wheeze, ignoring how his bones feels. "Nice meeting you too, freckles." 'What is Prof. Polendina's mini mech doing here?' He thought giving a glance to Ciel. "Anyway. I gotta go, kids."

"Why not stay a bit longer?" Yang grinned. "We can beat you in a few games we have." She challenged.

"No can do, Little Sun." He ruffled her hair. "I gotta make a report since I threw my ass in this." He chuckled.

"Okay!" Ruby chirped with a big smile. "Okay teams. Let's go home!" She pumped her fist up.

TGG

"Ah Beacon." Jaune took a deep breath after stepping out of the bullhead. "I love the ground you were built on."

"You need to get that motion sickness of yours checked." Pyrrha spoke with worry to her partner and team leader.

"I think I'll be fine." He waved her concern away with a big smile. "Besides. I need to do this more if I can get over in due time."

"Look at you, acting all big and strong." Coco teased as she and her team walked ahead. "We gotta do this another time. Without the terrorist group on our sweet asses." She waved her hand "Sweet dreams, everyone."

The three junior teams said their goodnights to their seniors.

"Not sure about the big or strong part, but his acting need some pointers." Mei muttered, casting a glare towards the blonde.

'What's with all these girls hating on me?' Jaune mentally whined and decided to find out why. "What's your problem with me?" He asked, the group stopped.

"Almost everything, you fucking cheater." The Faunus growled.

"Mei." Mina looked to her teammate.

"No way, boss." Mei kept her eyes on the blonde male. "I can't stand to be in the same career with this guy."

"What's going on?" Ren wondered. "What did he do for you to dislike him so much?"

Jaune noted the glare from Mei, the disapproving looks from Zest, Mina and Penny.

He then looked to RWBY, each holding a stoic expression that would put Ren to shame.

He then looked to his team. Ren was wondering what this was all about. Nora had a frown on her face as Pyrrha did her best to keep her eyes from him.

Then it clicked. "You told them..." He muttered.

Pyrrha shook her head. "Jaune I-" She started.

"I trusted you and you betrayed me!" He shouted.

"I-I didn't-" The champion muttered.

"Don't you fucking raise your voice at her!" Mei defended the Spartan. "I heard your shitty confession when the two of you were talking." She the growled, bearing her teeth at him. "How you cheated to get into Beacon. How you forged your transcripts to make it look like you worked your fucking ass off!" She shouted in the end.

"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha ran ahead.

"Girls. Go." Ruby spoke calmly.

The other Grimm generals nodded and left after their human lover. Ren followed soon afterwards.

Jaune stood there, shocked at the fact that he blew up like that again.

"Mei." The silver eyed youth spoke as she approached, the taller female keeping her eyes on the blonde. "Mei look at me." She held the female's face and directed to her, silver eyes meeting slit pupils green eyes. "Calm down, okay. No use wasting your anger on him."

"But-" She began and Zest placed a calming had on her teammate's shoulder.

"Be calm, Mei." The Chimera Faunus spoke.

"Let's just go." Ruby reached down and held her hands. "We can all just relax and leave this asshole behind." 'Let him realize how much he fucked up.'

"Okay." Mei nodded reluctantly as she was pulled and guided away to the dorm rooms. "I hope you fucking suffer for this, bitch." She muttered, passing him by.

Mina said nothing to reprimand those harsh words as she herself was rather angry at the blonde for forging his way in.

"But we all know who to really blame for this." Ruby spoke, hiding her smile away from the three team members.

"Who would that be?" Zest wondered.

"Ozpin, of course." She stated. "I'm sure that he did a thorough background check on each student that attends the academy." She pointed out. 'Change of plans. Blake, kill him now. I don't want risk this longer than I have.'

…

'With pleasure, beloved.' The panther Faunus replied as she subtly let a clone lose.

…

The three other girls pondered on that and had to admit that the younger female did have a point.

Jaune now stood there alone and gripped his fists. He then sighed. "I gotta fix this shit up." He then turned to walk and was instantly face to face with a robed figure clad in darkness. "Ghu!" He gasps as he felt something sharp impaled his chest and out his back. "Wha…" He looked down to the blade and his eyes widened at it. "How did you get Crocea Mors?" He asked, ignoring the burning pain in his chest.

The figure said nothing and kicked him off the blade before walking away without a word.

Jaune couldn't do anything as his blood pooled around him. 'This is it, huh?' He thought as he felt his vision fading to black.

TGG

Ruby lay in bed as she ran her fingers through the sleeping Pyrrha's hair. She gave the older female's forehead a kiss and sighed. 'He won't bother you ever again.' She thought as Blake walked out of the showers.

'How is she?' The Faunus asked via their mental link.

'Troubled.' Ruby sighed. 'She thinks she betrayed the asshole.'

'And she didn't.' Yang thought. 'I didn't know he would be this much of an ass timeline, but-' She huffed.

Their scrolls suddenly rang.

"Weren't our scrolls on silent?" Nora asked with frown as Pyrrha stired in her sleep.

"It has to be an emergency." Weiss commented.

"I'm sure it's nothing important." Yang waved her hand.

Blake flipped out her scroll and read the news. 'So the fucker was saved by a good Samaritan, huh?' The panther Faunus thought as she looked at her lovers.

'Shit.' Yang cursed.

TGG

Penny smiled at the news she just read. 'Awe. He survived. The others will not be as lucky.' She mentally giggled.

"Fuck." Mei muttered in surprise. "I knew what I said, but I didn't think that would happen." She snorted as she tossed her scroll on her bed.

"You don't seem that bothered by the news." Mina spoke.

"I'm not." The feline shrugged. "Some people just get the shittiest end of the stick."

"It is rather unfortunate for him, but he was found in time." Zest hummed.

"He should quit while he's ahead." Mei scoffed.

Penny looked to them. 'Maybe I can help them with Ruby. Oeh! More people to cuddle with!'

TGG

Ozpin sighed as he stood outside the infirmary. "Who would have done such a thing?" He muttered. 'Now I'm sure that Salem has her hands in this.' He then walked away, thinking on to deal with the woman in mind.

"Mr. Ozpin." Ren spoke as he approached the older man. "I just read the news."

Ozpin nodded. "I found him in time as I was taking an evening stroll." He saw that the young male sighed. "Where is the rest of the team?" He asked.

Ren sighed, shaking his head. "We had a bit of an argument that led to Nora and Pyrrha sleeping over in RWBY's dorm room. Team WPRZ was also involved in this and they left angry...at Jaune."

"Is it safe to assume that it involves his fake transcripts?" The older male asked, getting a surprised look from the younger male. "Judging by your reaction, that is a yes." He sighed. "I saw the hidden potential in young Arc and that's why I allowed him into this Academy."

"I see." Ren nodded. He was not as bothered by the reveal as he had thought, since he always kept a calm and open mind. "May I see him?"

"I'll allow all teammates and close friends to visit." Ozpin spoke and gave the younger male a nod before walking away.

...

Inside the infirmary, Jaune laid on the bed, an I.V. staff at his left and was hooked to his arm. He had a hospital gown over his body and was bandaged over his chest. His eyes twitched a bit and his fingers clenched slightly.

Ren stared at his team leader, his eyes flickering between magenta and purple. As the irises stayed purple for moment and then back to their magenta colored one, he smirked. "So when are you going to pretend to play dead, Jaune?" He asked as he rubbed his head.

Jaune's eyes opened slowly, purple dimming to blue, and groaned. "Fuck." He muttered as he held his head. "You never told me this whole fusion thing would give me a headache."

"I didn't know it would." Ren replied. "So." He raised an eyebrow. "How does it feel to be back in a younger body?"

"Like shit." He grinned.

TGG

Ruby blinked as she was once again within the plains of darkness. "Mother?" He asked.

"So you are the one that has taking control of the Grimm." A woman spoke in a warped voice.

Ruby turned, her features shifting to that of her Grimm general form. "And you are?"

Before her stood a female that would normally bring other in a fit of fear. Her skin is marred with tortuous, deep red and purple veins that run up her arms and face in a symmetrical way. Her irises glow red within the pool of her black sclera. She has a black bordered red diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead. She wears a very long black cloak with red designs resembling eyes over her FF-cup bust. She wore a design on the back of her robe, the designs being a striking visual resemblance to that of a snarling dragon's skull. She has white hair formed into a bun with six offshoots, three on either sides, from which black oval shaped ornaments are suspended.

Ruby and her lovers, bar Pyrrha, stood in the presence of the Mother of all Grimm.

This was nothing.

"And you are?" Ankáthi questioned.

The woman's face was impassive. "My name is Salem. And I believe we have much to talk about."

"And should we?" Ankáthi asked. "Do we even have the same goals?"

"I believe we can come to an agreement." She allowed a ghost of a smile on her face. "Just like you, I also have a traitor to kill."
