Cinder was pacing at the entrance with Roman and Adam waiting by her side. Adam looks towards the forest to see Cerberus emerge from the woods with three beowolves in each mouth.

Adam: There he is.

The others look to see Nightmare walking beside the Cerberus.

Cinder: Where have you been? We searched your quarters but you weren't there.

Nightmare's eyes scanned all of them. His frown turns into a smile.

Nightmare: Couldn't sleep. Plus I made a new friend.

He looks into the forest to see four golden eyes looking at him. He waved them off as they disappear into the forest.

Emerald takes notice of the dead Beowolves in the Cerberus' mouths.

Emerald: Those Grimm. Why haven't they disappeared yet?

Nightmare looked up at the Cerberus as it began to chew up the Beowolves.

Nightmare: Oh. They don't disappear when it comes to Cerberus. Their bodies stay for consumption.

The middle head bite down hard on its beowolf's torso causing it legs to fall to the ground. It swallows what it's got in its mouth and leans down, grabbing the legs with its jaw and finishing it off.

Cinder: How is that possible?

Nightmare: Think of it like this. When my Cerberus bites down on its prey it injects it with a special dark matter. Think of this dark matter like a vaccination to stop something abnormal from happening inside your body like say a whooping cough or measles. Only this 'vaccination' does more damage than actually cures.

Cinder looked at everyone who looked confused. Nightmare sighed.

Nightmare: Bottom line, whatever Cerberus eats that's grimm, they won't disappear. All the Grimm are fair game.

Emerald: Seems almost cruel.

Nightmare chuckles.

Nightmare: That's life. It can be a cruel mistress.

He walks into the village.

Nightmare:...or man.

Cerberus sits and finishes its meal while Cinder catches up to Nightmare with the others following them.

Cinder: Do you have a plan for our little problem?

Nightmare looks at her and thinks.

Nightmare: I had the thought of hunting him down myself but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. You said he'd most likely be in beacon, correct?

Cinder nods.

Cinder: Yes. After your little stunt with that team from Atlas, they'll gun you down before you even lay a toe on the school grounds.

Nightmare turns around and stops.

Nightmare: Perhaps you could fabricate a fake ID like you have for Emerald, Mercury, Neo and yourself. I can handle the looks.

Mercury chuckles.

Mercury: Sorry but we can't have a fifth member on our team. People will start asking questions.

Nightmare curses under his breath and turns around again.

Adam: We could lead him here.

Roman scoffs.

Roman: That's out of the question. We still have all that dust to transfer to your men and my men too.

Adam looks at him.

Adam: Then I suggest you get a move on.

Roman finishes his cigar and tosses it aside.

Roman: Do you know how fragile some of that crap is? You can't just rush these things unless you want to blow up the village.

Nightmare: Afraid to see Adam but Roman's right. You can't rush these things.

Adam growls and looks at Nightmare.

Adam: So you don't want to take care of the problem straight away like you wanted to?

Nightmare: I do. However if all your going to do is bitch, then go get the boy yourself.

Adam looks down and stands up straight.

Nightmare: What? Oh! That's right. Your a wanted criminal as well who is more recognisable than me!

Cinder: Enough!

Nightmare looks at Cinder along with everyone else.

Cinder: We have to go get settled in at beacon and deal with some loose ends. We can keep tabs on the boy from there on the promise that you both won't slit each other's throats!

Roman chuckles. Cinder looks at him.

Cinder: Roman. You're going to keep an eye on them while sorting out that dust. If something happens, contact me.

Roman looked at her in disbelief.

Roman: What?! Oh come on.

Cinder leaves with Emerald and Mercury.

Cinder: Neo. When Roman's done come find us. You have the dorm number and scroll to get in.

Neo does a salute as Cinder walks off with the other two. As she's out of sight, Neo pulls the finger at her while still standing in a saluting stance.

Nightmare looks up into the sky and smirks.

Nightmare: Torchwick.

Roman looks at him. As Nightmare looks at him.

Nightmare: Maybe it would be quicker if I helped you.

Roman smiles widely.

Roman: Finally, a gentleman other than myself. Right this way.

Roman walks towards where the dust was kept with Neo as Nightmare follows behind and Adam watches, gripping his sword tight.

Bianca: This one?

(Y/n): Nope.

Bianca: But it looks so cool!

(Y/n): It's a Warhammer that turns into a Thompson. If anything it will weigh me down. I want to be fast.

You and Bianca were at a weapons shop looking at blueprints. She basically dragged you there after you told her the only thing you used was a dagger and a boring sidearm....which eventually got stolen by team CRDL. Honestly, she can't talk, her weapon is just a katana.

Bianca: Okay. We'll narrow it down to small armed weapons then.

You nod and make your way to the small arms blueprints. You see a one that catch your interest and bring it to Bianca.

(Y/n): I found this.

Bianca: Cool. I found one too.

You whistled, impressed with her find.

(Y/n): They both look really cool.

You analyse both of the blueprints and thinks about which one you'll get.

Star: Having trouble?

Your body jolts before you take a deep breath.

(Y/n): A little. This would be much easier if I could test prototypes of these weapons.

You stare at each blueprint and think.

As you stand there pondering on both weapons. You fail to notice Bianca occasionally typing on her scroll while peaking up at you. She gets a message which makes her growl as the scroll was now in her face and she was rapidly typing with both thumbs.

This, you noticed.

(Y/n): Everything okay?

She looks up at you and fidgets.

Bianca: Umm...not really.

You turn to her and tilt your head. She sighs.

Bianca: Ironwood has granted permission for us to go liberate that village my team and I found in the forest that was and still is, under white fang control. As long as I look out for you.

Your eyes widen as you fully turn to her.

(Y/n): Your team died in that forest thanks to Nightmare right?

Bianca clenches her fist. You take it in your hand which makes her jump and look at you.

(Y/n): Hey. We'll get him, I promise.

She takes a deep breath and sighs.

Bianca: I know.

(Y/n): Anyway why do you seem angry?

Bianca shows you her scroll and see that ironwood has suggested that she goes with two teams that Ozpin has already picked out for her.

(Y/n): Oh. Great.

It was Team RWBY and JNPR. You knew you were going to have to go with Bianca which wasn't a problem. However having those eight tag along? Yikes.

Bianca: I'll tell him that it won't be necessary.

Jasper: (Y/n). Although you hate them, we're gonna need all the help we can get if we do run in to him in that forest.

You bite your lip and look away from Bianca.

Ike: I have to agree with my brother here. As strong as we will be when we get our power back to full strength. We can't do this alone.

You sigh and go to Bianca, pushing the scroll down and looking at her as she makes eye contact.

(Y/n): Don't worry about it. We're gonna need to help.

Bianca lowers the scroll even more and gives you a 'You sure?' look which gains a nod from you.

She raises her scroll and confirms with Ironwood.

Bianca: Come on then. We should get ready. Oh! Grab the weapon you want too!

She goes to leave the store as you smile and grab the weapon blueprint of your choice. You pay the shop clerk and walk out with Bianca while going over the plans for your new weapon.
