Two weeks have passed since the jail break. Roman joined us here at Anteiku. But first we died his hair brown and gave him blue contacts to change his appearance. I had Tock train him, it was rough at first, but he got better. Unfortunately, Roman and Tock get and each others nerves. My train of thought was disrupted by a cup breaking.

Tock: God dammit Roman, that's the fifth one this week!

Roman: Shut up, I don't see you carrying all this crap.

Roman and Tock continue to bicker as Jade and Aaron watch in amusement. In other news, Neo took her first step last week. I was sitting on the couch as Neo was crawling, I watched as she held onto the couch as she pulled her self up. My eyes were glued to her waiting for that moment. And then it finally came as she started to walk. I was so proud of her. I gave Neo ice cream as a treat later that night. I can't believe all the stuff that has happened to me in this year. I go from mass murder to father and owner of a small coffee shop. For the first time in my life it felt like I had a family. Unfortunately with all my recent activity, I'm afraid the authorities would find us. And when they would, I will be ready.

NO POV

Team RWBY and JNPR along with CFVY and CRDL were all in the auditorium along with soldiers.

Coco: Surprised to see you here after your defeat against Cold Blood.

Cardin: Shut up

Cardin grumbled

Ruby: So why do you think we are all here again?

Yang: Maybe another White Fang assault.

Blake: No, they have teams from other academies here such as SSSN and NDGO.

Jaune: So what you're saying is this is something even bigger.

Blake: Probably

???: Hey Ruby over here.

Ruby turned around and what she saw put a smile on her face. It was her mother Summer Rose along with the rest of Team STRQ. Ruby pulled her mother into a tight hug.

Ruby: It's so good to see you. What are you guys doing here?

Tai: Ozpin called us in, said he needed us for a mission.

Yang: Wait so now we got soldiers, students, as well as professional teams.

Velvet: Not to mention there's a larger amount of soldiers than last time.

Everyone tries to think about what is going on. Ironwood walked up to the speaker.

Ironwood: Good afternoon everyone. You're probably wondering why I brought you all here. Some of you are thinking it's probably another raid on the White Fang. Truth be told it is something more serious than that. This is a mission in which there is a likely chance of death. Anyone who isn't up for the task leave. " He paused for a moment and then continued on" Good, now I shall address what we are doing. Atlas, along side the forces of Beacon, have pulled together our forces to unsure victory for us. To take out a villain dreaded across the four kingdoms. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time we take out the

( Timeskip )

All throughout Beacon there was conversation of the upcoming operation. Those who chose to participate had a fill out a note regarding any final words if they were to die. This made those who were going extremely nervous. Most people wrote out their note, others couldn't think straight. Neptune just sat in his room writing I don't want to die over and over again. Meanwhile Ozpin sat in his office trying to think of something to write but couldn't. Elsewhere Ironwood was in a conference room trying to locate the Owl.

Ironwood: Any leads?

Guy1: So far no, but we might have something.

Ironwood: What is it?

The soldier brought up a coffee of a picture shop

Ironwood: A coffee shop?

Guy2: This shop opened up about a year ago, the same time as the Owl arrived in Vale.

Guy3: Not to mention the fact that two of the employees are a monkey and wolf faunas. Same as the Devil Ape and Black Dober. Also a new employee with a similar face structure to Torchwick just started working there.

Ironwood: Alright I'll check it out. For now start getting people out of that area and place more soldiers here.

Everyone: YES SIR!

I noticed that more and more soldiers started moving into the city. I also realized that the people on this street had to leave. I got more worried that they found out who we are. We had a lot of customers in the morning but as the sun started to set we had practically no one. It was almost completely dark as it started to snow out. Everyone was upstairs leaving me to run the shop on my own, which was empty. I stood at the counter until somebody entered the shop.

Yin: Welcome to Anteiku.

The man took off his coat to reveal himself to be James Ironwood.

Ironwood: Strange, I heard this place was quite popular.

Yin: We had lot of customers this morning but it looks like the rush is over.

Ironwood sat down at the counter and ordered a regular coffee. I made his coffee as I made one for myself as well.

Yin: Mind if I join you?

Ironwood: Not at all, by the way what is your?

Yin: Thorn Rogue

I sat down next to him as we sipped our coffee.

Ironwood: Wow this is really good

Yin: Thank you

Ironwood: What's your secret, is it the beans?

Yin: Not exactly, we do have good beans but what makes our coffee better is that we put feeling into it.

Ironwood: What do you mean?

Yin: Lets say you have the best quality beans in the world, however if you don't take the time to make sure it's made properly it can taste like crap. On the contrary if you have crappy beans but take the time to make it right, you get a typical cup of Anteiku coffee.

Ironwood: That makes sense, by the way what persuaded you to move here?

Yin: I originally moved here to stay away from the Owl, however it looks like that failed.

Ironwood: By the way where are the rest of your employees?

Yin: There out in break

Me and Ironwood finish up our drinks. Ironwood gets ready to leave

Ironwood: One last thing, have we met before?

Yin: No I don't believe so.

Ironwood: Oh yeah I forget to pay.

Yin: Consider it in the house.

Ironwood: Oh thanks, I should come back again.

And like that Ironwood leaves. I start freaking out in my mind. He knows I'm the Owl. With all the recent movement with the army it makes sense. I hear back upstairs and see everyone in the living room.

Yin: Where's Neo?

Tock: She's asleep

Yin: Good, pack her things along with the rest of your stuff. We need to get out of here.

Jade: Wait, what's going on?

Yin: They know

Aaron: Who knows?

Yin: Ironwood, Beacon, Atlas, they know I'm the Owl. They know about all of us here.

Roman: Shit, what do we do?

Tock: Relax, we've come up with a plan in case something like this has happened. You and me will get Neo to a safe house in the woods while everyone else stays here and fights.

Yin: Good, Jade and Aaron go suit up. Tock you know what to do.

Everyone goes off in there own directions to get ready. I head into Neo's room. She wakes up and smiles at me. I pick her up and hand her to Tock.

Yin: If anything happens to my baby, I'll kill you.

I kiss Neo in her forehead. Rock and Roman sneak out the backdoor. Me, Jade, and Aaron go back down into the shop. I make coffee for each of them.

Aaron: I'll admit, I'm gonna miss this place.

Jade: We've has a lot of memories in this place.

Yin: I hate to see this place go, but it must happen.

It was a calm peaceful night in the city of Vale. It was snowing out and the city wasn't even masking a sound. Outside of a coffee shop called Anteiku soldiers began circling the place. Elsewhere there were many other soldiers as well as hunters waiting for orders. Then General Ironwood got on top of a platform.

Ironwood: All right listen up, the Owl extermination operation,
