Jaune and Pyrrha made their way through the hallways, looking for their friends. Eventually, they found them. Team RWBY had changed their outfits as well, while team VADM (Vladimir) hadn't.

Their next mission involved Amity tower, Ironwood had explained earlier that he planned to use Amity to make a global communications center. Telling the world about Salem so they could all work together.

The problem was that someone was killing people that opposed Ironwood, making the people begin to distrust him. While this was a problem, Vader did not care. The reason was that an election was coming up for the Mayor of Atlas. The two other candidates were a woman named Robyn and Jaques Schnee.

Vader did not like politics and paid no mind to it. Choosing to focus on their current mission instead.

They all sat in a troop carrier bullhead, along with the Ace ops. They were currently moving towards an abandoned Dust mine, needed for the launch of Amity.

Vader was glad the members of Team RWBY and JNPR were given full huntsman licenses. They were all level C rated huntsman, while his team excluding himself were level A. Vader himself was level S.

Vader did not understand why that was such an accomplishment but used it to his full advantage.

Clover: Alright people! We're approaching the landing site! Remember the plan, clear out the Grimm and try not to damage the dust? I'd rather not explode today!

Clover shouted over the now open door, Vader stood out of acknowledgment. Before turning and leaping out of the side, surprising the Ace Ops.

Harriet: What's he doing?! He jumped right into the heart of the Grimm activity!

Din: Trust me, we know what we're doing.

Din loaded a bolt into his pulse rifle before jumping out the bullhead as well. He angeled himself in the air, before activating his jetpack to fly.

Ahsoka: We'll clear out a landing space for you, get ready to land.

Maul and Ahsoka were next, jumping out on separate sides and using the force to slow their fall. The Ace Ops stared out of hock and amazement as they saw glowing blades slice through Grimm effortlessly.

Vader was surrounded, with precise lightsaber swings he wasted no time on a single Grimm. When a single horde crawled over each other to get to Vader, he pulled his arm back concentrating on the force.

He released a devastating force push, launching all the Grimm to their deaths. Ahsoka used her dual blades to her advantage, using the force to improve her speed.

Maul was a red blur, he flew through the battlefield using the dual-bladed saber to act as a wheel of death. He threw the saber, cutting through several Grimm before pulling it back to himself. Flipping over a beowolf swipe, slicing the arm off.

Din used the pulse rifle to wound the flying Grimm, before pulling out the dark saber to drive them to the ground.

With the number of Grimm severely brought down, the bullhead landed in the clearing. The other three teams emerging from the bullhead.

Clover: That was... impressive.

Vader: Let us finish the mission.

As they entered the mine, the Ace ops broke off one way while the rest went another. Eventually, another fork in the road appeared, forcing them to split into groups of six.

Din, Maul, and Oscar went with Team JNPR while Vader and Ahsoka went with Team RWBY.

Jaune was distracted by something, drawing Pyrrha's attention as well.

Pyrrha: What's wrong Jaune?

Jaune: Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that you should wear your hair down more often. You look beautiful that way.

Pyrrha smiled at this, making no attempt to hide the redness on her cheeks.

Nora: I like your outfit, Ren!

Ren: We should focus on the mission.

Din raised an eyebrow at this, this was unusual behavior.

The team then found a group of Grimm, drawing their weapons for a fight.

Vader's group wasn't having much luck either, having been ambushed earlier. They were now facing a large cavern of dust.

Ahsoka: I wonder why it was abandoned...

Multiple beasts roared, several Grimm running around the corner and even more awaking in the mine itself.

Ahsoka: Never mind.

Vader: Be careful, there is still volatile dust within this mine. One stray bullet or weapon swing could blow the whole thing.

With that, Vader leaped down into the sea of Grimm, lightsaber activated.

Ahsoka: Heh, he does that all the time.

Ahsoka followed, white lightsabers activated. Team RWBY nodded to each other, Yang shouted out of glee and propelled herself forward with Ember Cecelia.

Ruby used her Semblance, Weiss summoned several glyphs skating down to the ground. Slicing a Grimm on the way down.

Blake threw her Gambol shroud, piercing into the roof above.

Swinging down, she kicked a Grimm coming incredibly close to Yang. She flashed a smile out of thanks, Blake returning the smile.

Vader danced through his strikes, killing the beowolfs in a similar way that he did when he first arrived. The beasts were still stupid, and incredibly predictable.

But something was different about these Grimm, their bodies were different colors corresponding with different types of dust.

They didn't stop a lightsaber from cutting through though.

Vader observed a Grimm disintegrated by a yellow bolt, seeing Din round the corner followed by Maul, Oscar, and Team JNPR.

Joining the fight, Nora launched herself forward. Swing her hammer down onto a Grimm, before firing a grenade. The momentum propelling her into several other Grimm.

Ren trailed behind his partner, taking precise shots with his pistols. Before stabbing several Grimm with his gun blades.

One Grimm was able to sneak up behind Ren though, but quickly exploded thanks to Nora.

Maul and Oscar fought back to back, Maul, feeling proud of Oscar's growth combat-wise. He thought while witnessing Oscar combining Ozpin's techniques with his own teachings.

Weiss summoned several glyphs, restraining each Grimm who stepped on them. Allowing Ruby to quickly dispatch them with creative usage of her scythe.

Din flew overhead, unleashing whispering birds on the Grimm surrounding Ahsoka. Before landing behind her and pulling out the darksaber, standing in a defensive position as he activated it.

Vader glanced at Ahsoka as he dispatched another Grimm, sensing emotion towards Din within her. He smiled slightly.

As the Grimm numbers narrowed, Vader found himself finishing off the rest alongside Qrow.

As the huntsman relaxed, they conversed with their partners.

Blake: Yang?

Yang: *staring at Blake* Uh- sorry, just not used to the hair.

Blake: Do you like it?

Yang: Wha- Yeah! I-It looks great!

Vader chuckled at Yang's nervousness, before feeling a slight tremor.

A Geist possessing dust ad rocks barreled into the area, Vader drew his lightsaber to attack but saw they had it handled.

Clover: Elm!

Clover hooks the arm of the Geist, Elm understood immeadiatley. Rooting herself to the ground, she preparred her hammer. As the arm swung towards her, the hammer collided with the arm shattering the stone.

The Geist realized its arm was broken and reaced for a new one, a fire dust crystal to be exact. The Geist was barely able to levitate it before being attacked again.

Clover: Marrow!

Marrow: Stay!

The Geist froze mid-reach.

Clover: Vine!

Vine extended his arms, restraining the Grimm further.

Clover: Harriet!

Harriet charged her semblance, her robotic leg whirring. She launched forward, destroying the legs of the Grimm.

Clover: Elm!

Elm leaped forward, her hammer in rocket form. Four rockets exploded the Grimm's chest, forcing the Geist to un-posses it.

As the Geist tried to run, its back was hooked by Clover's weapon. He yanked it closer and killed it with a swipe of his sword.

Ruby: Wow they -

Weiss: Work really well together.

Weiss said, finishing Ruby's thoughts.

Vader: While they may be true, they only view each other as co-workers. They will never be able to work together properly with that mindset.

Weiss nodded, watching as Marrow was ignored by his "teammates." Having been knocked to the ground by part of the Geists body. Sighing as he helped himself up, before standing at attention to Clover alongside the fellow Ace ops.

Clover: Atlas Control, this is Clover. Mission accomplished...
