Two bullheads were seen flying past city of Vale heading for the woods.

Unfortunately you and Bianca were split up. She went with JNPR and you were with RWBY.

They all sat on one side of the bullhead while you were on the other. You had your legs up on the seats next to you as you were loading Vulcan.

Ruby was talking to Weiss while Blake was reading a book. As for Yang, she was staring at you. You averted your eyes from Vulcan to look at her which makes her look away. You look at the other girls then look at Vulcan. You finish loading it and spin the barrel.

(Y/n): I still think this was a mistake.

Jasper: It's done. Get over it. This was the smartest decision than jumping blindly into battle without support.

(Y/n): Yeah... 'support'. Except the support is more likely to get us killed.

Meanwhile, on the second bullhead. Bianca was looking at a picture of team AMBR. The photo was taken two years ago after they won the 39th Vystal festival which was held in Mistral.

She sighs and pulls out her scroll and starts texting you.

You hear your scroll go off and look at it.

Bianca

You sit up.

(Y/n)

Bianca

(Y/n)

(Y/n): Boys. When we find Nightmare, what do we do?

Ike: Simple. We get in there and kick his ass!

You facepalm.

(Y/n): I'm serious guys.

Star: Well without the rune to trap him again I'm afraid that beating him down is the only good plan we have.

Jasper: He's resourceful so it's possible he'll have help.

Ike: Even more ass to kick.

You sigh and start texting Bianca again.

(Y/n)

You put your scroll away and put your hands behind your head.

Meanwhile with Bianca, she leaned against the chair while looking at your last message.

Nora: You actually talk to that weirdo.

Bianca almost jumps after finally noticing the ginger haired girl from team JNPR.

Bianca: Yes. He's good to talk to and very helpful.

Bianca relaxes by closing her eyes and leaning on the wall.

Nora: Helpful?! A guy who has no aura and semblance is helpful?!

Bianca's tail twitched as she opened one of her eyes to look at Nora who was laughing.

Nora: Jaune is helpful. Hell, The shop keeper at From Dust Till Dawn is more helpful than that guy.

Ren: He's not exactly well equipped for battle.

Bianca: He has a weapon now. Once this mission is over, I'm going to teach him how to use it more efficiently.

This made Pyrrha giggle.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry but without an Aura or a semblance that's gonna be quite a feat.

Bianca starts to get annoyed but smiled.

Bianca: Yeah I guess your right Miss Nikos. It'll be a big feat. Not as big as getting your face on a cereal box but hey, we all achieve something great, given the time of course.

All of JNPR looked at her. Pyrrha sat up straight.

Pyrrha: Sorry. It sounded like you were implying something.

Bianca puts her hands behind her head and leans back in her seat.

Bianca: Oh, No no no. I don't do anything that would be considered 'unhealthy' now would I? That'd be a cheap arrow to the heart.

Pyrrha was taken back for a second. She felt as if that last part hurt more but she shook off the feeling.

Bianca: I will do me Princess. You do you. Even if it means shutting your trap.

Pyrrha was gobsmacked that someone was actually defending you. Not only that but that 'somebody' just happened to be the last member of the second best team at Atlas.

Adam was watching his men loot the village and fill up the trucks with loot. Nightmare came into view. He watched with curiosity at the White Fang soldiers loading up the trucks. He moved out of the way of a truck that took off, probably on its way to a White Fang outpost.

Nightmare: A tactical retreat? This early?

He says out loud as he looks in the corner of his eye at Adam.

Adam: Call it insurance. Especially after we just found out you intentionally led the boy here. No doubt with back up.

Nightmare fully turns to Adam.

Nightmare: The boy will know not to send help. The little light will see to that.

Adam taps the hilt of his sword Wilt while also tapping his foot against the dirt under his foot.

Adam: ..And if there's back up?

Nightmare let's out a deep exhale and turns away from his Faunas companion.

Nightmare: Then I was wrong. Stupidity can be unpredictable.

Suddenly on cue, two bullheads flew over the village catching the attention of the two and Roman Torchwick who looked up out of the drivers seat of the truck while smoking his cigar.

Adam looks at Nightmare who is still looking in the direction the bullheads went in.

Adam: I'll ask again. IF there's back up?

Nightmare looks straight ahead as his eyes glow.

Nightmare: Then that's unfortunate...

The three headed Beowolf, named Cerberus by Nightmare, was in the woods with eating more Grimm. As it was munching on a Ursa, it's ears perked up as all it's heads raised and it got on all fours and growled as a message was telepathically delivered to it saying "Fetch".

The Bullhead's landed in a clearing within the forest. Once the door opened, you jumped out along with team RWBY as Bianca does the same with team JNPR.

You spin Vulcan's chamber as Bianca comes next to you.

Bianca: How was your flight?

You shrug.

(Y/n): Awkward, the silent type of Awkward. How was it talking to the famous Pyrrha Nikos? The Spartan who has her face on every Pumpkin Pete cereal box.

Bianca shrugs.

Bianca: Very eventful.

You snicker.

Ruby comes between you two.

Ruby: So Bianca... where do we go?

Bianca pulls out the map.

Bianca: So...we are...here!

She points to a red circle she drew herself before the mission started.

Bianca: The village should be southwest...Here.

She points to a blue circle marked 'objective' and closes the map.

(Y/n): Let's get to it then.

You holster Vulcan and proceed forward ahead of the others.

Yang stops you by putting a hand on her shoulder.

Yang: No offence (Y/n), but maybe we should take point.

You ignore her and shrug her hand off your shoulder.

(Y/n): Do what you want. I have my own objective.

Yang watches you walk away, pushing past bushes and stepping over roots.

Nora: What's up his ass?

Bianca follows after you while the others give chase.

Star: (Y/n)...You good?

(Y/n): Dandy.

Jasper: You weren't acting like yourself. You came out very aggressive.

(Y/n): I!....Did?

You stop and rub your chin.

Ike: You didn't notice?

You think about it. Did you really become aggressive. Perhaps all the stress is getting to you.

Yang: Who are you talking to?

You look at Yang.

(Y/n): Oh! Uhh....Myself. Just amping myself up for the coming battle.

Weiss walks past the both of you. She looks at you and scoffs.

Weiss: Gets a small weapon and suddenly thinks he can take on the world, even without an Aura. Loser.

You narrow your eyes at her.

(Y/n): Brat.

She stops and turns to you.

Weiss: Excuse me?! What did you say?

She stomps towards you.

(Y/n): If you're responding then that means you heard me the first time.

She grits her teeth and goes to slap you however you grab her wrist, stopping her from hitting you.

Weiss: Hey! Let go!

She tries to pull away but you don't let go.

Ike: Whoa, (Y/n) what are you doin?

Your right eye develops a purple glow for a second before returning to normal.

Jaune: Hey! Let her go!

He runs at you but you no look punch him into a tree with your free hand.

Weiss looks at Jaune then back at you as your grip tightens.

Weiss: (Y-Y/n)...You're hurting me. Please I'm sorry.

Your mouth parts slightly and your expression turns to a calm one as you see Weiss almost reduced to tears.

Blake puts Gambol shroud against the back of your head.

Blake: Let go of her.

You look behind you to see Ren, Ruby, Nora and Pyrrha with their weapons pointed at you and Bianca just staring at you in disbelief. You let go of Weiss and look at your hand.

Jasper: What happened there?! We just landed and your already starting a fight?!

Star: Jasper back off. (Y/n), just take a minute.

You walk away from the group and lean against a tree.

(Y/n): What's happening to me..?

You ask yourself.

Bianca comes next to you.

Bianca: If you're too stressed out I can call the Bullhead back?

You shook your head.

(Y/n): No!...No I'm fine.

You rub your temple. Blake who watches you carefully while walking to Weiss, checks on her friends wrist.

Blake: Nothing's broken.

Weiss stayed silent. Blake frowns, suddenly her bow twitches and she looks to her right.

Blake: Something's coming.

Everyone looks at her. You look at her from the corner of your eye as she holds Gambol shroud tightly and Jaune gets up off the tree.

Ruby: Grimm?

The leader of team RWBY asks while coming next to her Faunas friend.

Blake shook her head.

Blake: Not sure. It sounds very big.

You fully face the direction Blake was looking and walk next to her.

Your eyes widened as you see six golden eyes in the distance looking at you from afar.

It steps into the light revealing Nightmare's Cerberus, drooling from all three of its mouths. It barks violently causing you to pull out Vulcan.

(Y/n): You didn't tell me he could make pets...

Star: We...didn't know that either.

You tightly grasp Vulcan's grip and gulp.

(Y/n): Shit.

You say out loud as everyone ready's their weapons and the Cerberus launches itself forward on all fours into a sprint.
