Neo just kept smirking, her parasole over her shoulder, spinning as she rotated the handle with her hand. Rion backed up one step, knowing full well of the edge of the roof. He was about to open his mouth to say something, when Neo threw something at him. Rion quickly caught the flying object and looked at it.

A slip of paper.

Rion looked at the paper before looking up. Neo had, again, disappeared. He looked around real quick, covering his flanks, before he opened the slip of paper.

'Noticed you've been having some lady troubles. Here is a consolation gift.' Was written on the slip, along with some pink marks of someone's lips. The back of the slip had something much more interesting.

An address and time.

"What are you leading me to Neo...?" Rion asked softly before grabbing his mask and putting it on. He touched some buttons on his bracer before using it to scan the slip of paper. He tapped a few buttons again before tossing the paper aside. A 3D map of Vale appearing on his mask, showing his location and the address that was on the paper. He activated his cloak and jumped from building to building, heading to the address.

The address led to some docks. It was still far from the time that was on the paper. So he waited.

And waited... scanning the area for potential weak points, patrol routes, ambush points. He did this for four hours. He did this until the sun set, and the area was covered in darkness, the only light came from flood lights and other light sources in the area. He picked up very little heat signature and movement, possibly workers pulling a late shift. Rion was getting impatient however. His activity for the last hour ranged from messing with the vocal mimicry in his mask, to, in an extreme case of boredom, using his combi-stick as an instrument. Mimicking pulling the strings to an instrument.

"I brought you food!" A voice surprised Rion. He looked down from the building he stood on. Blake, however, someone new sat next to her. This one had a tail, common with primates on another terrestial planet. 'Another faunus.' Rion mused.

However, his thoughts were broken with the sound of a ship coming into view, several in fact. He quickly scanned one of the ships, a symbol stood out as he matched it with his mask's database. "White Fang..." He growled as he activated his wristblades. As the ships landed, another sight came into view. Cargo containers, but something more interesting after.

"Come on! Move it! Let's get this dust moving!" Called out a familiar dandy in a bowler hat.

"Torchwick." Rion said as he activated his cloak. The time to strike was now.

He jumped into the dock and looked around. A lot of White Fang, too many to take on at once. He'd have to make a distraction. His priority hunting target right now was Torchwick, the rest were fair game. It was at this moment of his thought that Blake jumped in, and held Torchwick at the edge of her blade, she tore off the ribbon from her head. "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you working with this scum?!" She shouted.

Blake's words shocked Rion... 'She's White Fang?' He thought. And here he thought he could trust her.

"Come on now kitty cat, let's all just keep CALM!" He shouted as he smacked Blake with his cane and kicked her away. At this moment, the White Fang attacked.

Well, the plan went out the window. Rion growled and uncloaked, charging into the firefight.

"It's him!" A White Fang member shouted, half of the group turned toward him and tried to get a shot. Rion kept running through, he stopped when a White Fang jumped in his way and tried to hit him with the butt of the rifle. Rion grabbed and twisted the White Fang's arm until he heard a bone snap. The White Fang yelled in pain as he dropped the rifle, and a fist came to his stomach, knocking him to the ground.

Rion then continued after Torchwick, he was currently fighting Blake. But before Rion could land a strike, someone kicked him. Rion fell on his knee and loocked back, to see Neo's boots lock around his arm as she used her strength to fling him against a cargo container. Rion shook his head from the impact and stood up.

Neo held up a finger and shook it, along with her head, with her signature smirk. Rion growled and charged, but Neo's smirk turned evil as he was hit seemingly out of nowhere. Rion backed up a step and tried to punch again. Neo grabbed his arm and twisted it slightly, using Rion's weight against him. Leaning back a bit, she kissed Rion's mask on it's cheek area and then threw him down to the ground.

Rion turned onto his belly and slammed his fist on the ground. Her condescending smirk was getting to him. He stood up and again, foolishly, ran towards her. He swung left and right with his wristblades, which Neo dodged easily. Rion reached with his other arm and grabbed her by the throat. Neo lifted her legs up and wrapped them around Rion's arm, she used her weight to pull Rion down and flipped him on his back, and she landed on him. She was straddling him. She smirked evilly as she reached for his mask and pulled it off. Rion glared up at her.

But before things could escalate any further, Neo heard Roman whistle and looked over. She seemed to sigh before standing up and walking over to Roman. Doing a curtsey bow before entering the ship. Rion stood up and watched it leave, before letting out a roar. He reached down and picked up his mask, putting it back on before heading out to find Blake. He found her, along with the Faunus, and another girl. This girl however, according to his thermal vision, was strangely cold in the center. "Sal-u-tations!" She said happily to Rion. He simply blinked.

And then, the rest of team RWBY showed up. Rion started going for his cloaking. "Don't you dare!" He heard Weiss shout. Rion groaned and stopped. "Weiss! Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you! I left the-"Blake started.

"Hush!" Weiss stopped her. "For the whole day we spent looking for you and Rion, I've decided... that I don't care." Rion looked up at her. This was surprising.

"Just, next time you two have some kind of secret, kindly let us know?!" She more demanded than asked. "YOU however." She pointed at Rion. "Have a LOT of explaining to do! You practically just commited murder!"

"Murder's such a dirty term... don't you think?" Rion slightly chuckled, before Weiss slapped him. "You, are going to talk to Professor Ozpin." Weiss ordered. "But for now... let's just go home."

"Yay! Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby shouted excitedly.

So, this time, Rion knew he was in trouble.

But, at least now, the team was back together.

As for Torchwick and his accomplices, they could wait... the hunt was far from over after all...

Holy Crap! Volume 1 is finally over! It took me several months because of writer's block. But Volume one is finally done. Just so we're clear. I'm not doing all planned seasons of RWBY. I may only do up to half of Volume 4, then branch off for my own thing. But even then, it won't be long. But until that time, I'll see you all in Volume 2.
