Teri snickered alongside her teammates. She couldn't help it. The months have passed so fast she wondered when graduation would be. She paid it no mind though, ever since finding about her sisters she'd become more lighthearted than usual and its been reflected on her fighting style focused on mobility and and defensive maneuvers. She eyed Acid who gave her a smile before ushering her back to the lesson.


Acid focused back to her lesson, stopping for a while to take a swig out of her hidden iron flask. It was filled with wine, not that anyone knew that of course since no one had seen her with it. Thus, hidden. Duh. She quickly hid it back in her clothes in a place no one would dare to even check.


Caron looked out the window boredly. She preferred physical training and actual demonstration than stories of times passed. Instead she settled with doodling on a piece of paper depicting her burning people on various positions and various ways.


Oxis watched the two before reaching at them and bopping their heads together, hard enough to hurt but not enough to be heard. She disapproved of their actions, especially with Acid being a...what's the nice phrasing for 'Problem Child'? There wasn't any.

Shade wasn't doing anything particularly interesting... Just walking around campus was all. He was told that he couldn't leave beacon until someone important told him so, they did say the persons name but shade just didn't listen to that part. He kinda felt like a prisoner a little but the staff was kind enough to him. So Shade was just walking around at the moment with no real intention in his mind.

"After an entire day of tracking down the injured beast, it led me to their nest deep within the Emerald Forest." Professor Port lectured as he continued his story about hunting a horde of Beowolves. He kept swinging his arms around in excitement, almost as if he was there. No man or beast could get him out of his trance if they tried. "Then I single-handedly defeated them all by-" BEEP-BEEP. The school alarm rang to let everyone know that class time was over. "Oh... ah... timed that one wrong I guess." He said after his trance was interrupted by the alarm. "The stunning conclusion to the story will have to wait, until next time." Before anyone left the classroom to go to their next activity, the professor made an announcement. "Don't forget to report to the assembly this afternoon for your first official mission as first year Hunters-in-training. Missions count as a huge part of your grades and not being present may fail you for the week. So make sure to be there, everyone!"


William ran out of the classroom after Port's announcement about the assembly. He needed to find Aires immediately before anything bad happened to her. Problem was that he had no idea where to start looking for her. She could be anywhere on campus right now. "She's eating brunch in the dining hall." A.D notified William through his helmet, which he always wore with or without the rest of his armor. It gave him a sense of security for some strange reason. "Thanks, A.D. Appreciate the info." He told the A.I as he sends a message about Aires' current location to Benjamin and Elinore. With that done, he heads toward the dining hall at full speed.

(I ship tomorrow so unfortunately not. I don't know when I will come back so just go on without me for a while.)

Benjamin had unofficially left Beacon, spending most of his time with the Thieves Guild and Trinity, becoming her second in command almost immediately. Once again he had gone back to his life on the run from police and taking care of his patchwork of a family, returning to the school only to check in on Aires or steal from the school infirmary. The Thieve's hideout was cold, but the faunus didn't mind. He spent a lot of his free time on the roof in a hard to access peak of the building.


"Why you staying up here bro? The crew is waiting for you..." Trinity informed for friend with a smile. "Got something on your mind?"


"Just mulling over the last few months. I guess Aires woke up today..." Benjamin thought aloud. "I don't think it's a good idea for me to go back. Maybe I should just move on. Disappear you know? Probably the best for everyone. Maybe I could even go back to my hometown. They probably don't remember me and I could truly start over..."


"How would that help anyone? We need you here Dodger. Starting over won't do anyone any good. Now let's head down and take care of our own." Trinity responded.


"Why did you start calling me that all those years ago?" The faunus asked as he flicked his tail back and forth, fiddling with his weapons, now consisting of his two chain blades, a dust pistol, a hooked shiv, and a grim mask.


"Why do you still carry that stupid mask? Doesn't it stand for something you hate?" Trinity asked, deflecting the question.


"Answer my question first." Ben bluntly replied, inciting a groan from is partner in crime.


"Because you were the first person i encountered that could dodge almost any projectile with ease. You dodge almost anything actually. So I gave you the nickname Dodger." The leader of the Thieves Guild replied.


"I guess it's my turn... I guess it's because it's part of me. While I don't agree with the White Fang I've been a member multiple times. This last time is why I think I should leave." the faunus replied.


"You're an idiot." Trinity replied as she grabbed one of Ben's armor straps and dragged him down.


"Now that Ben is here, we can begin. Our most recent operations have led the police to seek military assistance from Atlas. That means possibly bombs. Or at the least, troops. Our very own moles tell me that the strike is planned for tonight. I personally don't like our chances against a military force. They know where we are and I am not risking our lives over one hideout so I propose we evacuate. And evacuate immediately. Any questions?" Trinity asked the group of senior thieves around the table.


"Yeah. How do we plan to execute this?" One of the members asked.


"Everyone go wake up the rest of us and we move out. I'll stay behind and make sure everyone has been evacuated. That easy and simple." Benjamin said standing up. "Now move." He commanded and everyone scattered save Trinity.


Soon enough the building was empty and only Ben was left making his sweep of the building...

"Do you know why you're here, Mr. Reaper?" Ozpin asked the leader of WABE in his office in Beacon Tower. The dean was sitting down at his huge desk with Goodwitch at his side. Both were expressionless, but gave off a serious aura around them.


"No, sir." William replied as he straightened his back a bit more.


Ozpin nodded to the response as Goodwitch gave William a scroll. "Do you know what's on that screen?" He asked as the student read the files on the screen.


"It's my team's attendance and grades." William answered before having the scroll taken away from him. "It looks fine to me-"


"Your team is close to being disassembled, Mr. Reaper." Goodwitch bluntly interrupted, causing William to go silent. "Despite all the events that occurred to your team in the past few months, WABE has been academically performing below average last semester. Your teammates, Aires and Benjamin, have too many absences and their grades are at a all time low-"


"I know they have a lot of absences!" William blurted out. "But Aires went into a coma after witnessing half of her family members' deaths. It's obvious that she couldn't attend her classes in that motionless state. As for Ben," He said, looking away to the window. "He... needs some time by himself. That's all I can say about him."


"Normally I would give your team make-up classes to fix their grades, but WABE's past involvements with the White Fang and the mysterious deaths of an entire team has caught the attention of the Vale Council. They want to know WABE's relationship with the terrorist organization, while demanding us to hand over one of you as the murderer of those students. This will negatively affect the reputation of the academy if the outcome turns in their favor." Ozpin said before taking a sip of coffee from his mug.


"What are you trying to say to me?" William asked, holding back his anger from the situation. "Plus why only tell me this? Shouldn't the rest of my team know about this too?"


"Disassembling your team would free Beacon from any trouble with the council and the general public." Ozpin replied without hesitation. "They're using WABE's current overall performance against us and won't stop until we give up to their demands or have WABE 'dissappear' without a trace. We're only telling you this because you're the team leader, Mr. Reaper. You'll be the one held accountable for everything if you don't find a solution soon."


William left Beacon Tower without saying a single word to anyone. After minutes of walking around the campus, he arrived at the dining hall to find Aires. Once he finds her, he'll look for Elinore before telling both of them the bad news. After that... who knows? Maybe find Ben to form a solution to the crisis at hand? But he hasn't gotten any response from him through his messages nor seen him after Aires went into a coma. So that idea might get crossed off for now. All he can do is hope for the best and wish for a miracle to happen. "Aires." He said once he finally spotted his teammate at a random table and tapped her shoulder. "How are you feeling? Does your head hurt or anything else feel strange?" He asked as he let his teammates know he found Aires through his scroll. "I'll take you to the infirmary if there's something wrong with you."

 

[RushWing]

Aires had no idea that her teammates were separated, that the other students at the academy were avoiding eye contact with her, or that she was an orphan. She was simply enjoying her food when she felt someone tap her shoulder. Turning to see who it could be she noticed Will. "Hey Will!" She looked at him confused, "Why would my head hurt? I feel fine." She put down the apple she was eating and then asked Will, "Why do I need to go to the infirmary? I told that my side wound healed. Do you still feel bad about stabbing me? If you do, don't be. I knew you weren't yourself. It's okay. Oh hey have you seen Ben? I haven't seen him since that weird class we had with Nat haha." She then picked up her apple and continued to eat it, "Speaking of which where i Elinore, I thought I'd find her here drinking some coffee. oh she might be up on he roof." She then noticed that Will hadn't really moved, he seemed dazed. "Will, are you okay?" She smiled lightly.

 

[Archdemon]

Shade was being watched by the school's security though that was understandable with him being a member of the white fang. He didn't actually know that they were a terrorist organization, all he was told is to guard different places and he'll get paid. He walked into the cafeteria and every security guard had his/her eyes on him like he might cause some trouble. A few tables away was the girl he put into a coma and William.... He had some questions to ask and he was going to find out the answers to those questions if it was the last thing he was going to do. Walking up to them and taking a seat in front of Aires shade began to speak "....... What's your name?" He had to know who he was talking to cause it's rude to just ask things like 'Why did you went berserk on the ship?' He felt naked without his trusty weapons.


@WillKillOh

 

[RushWing]

Suddenly a boy sat down in front of her and Will. He seemed out of place and a little lost. "Well I believe that if you want to know my name it's customary to introduce yourself first." She smirked, "But," she exhaled, "I digress, my name is Aires. And who might you be?" She then looked at Will and gave him a crazy face motioning towards the boy across from them. She noticed that Will still hadn't said a word, but she decided to wait a bit longer before asking him if he was okay, again.

 

[WiLeo]

William didn't know what to say after hearing what Aires told him. If memory served him right, the stabbing incident and Natalya's weird class occurred around the time when their team was formed. So, did this mean she lost her memories of the events after that? He was going to say something, but a newcomer arrived and asked Aires several questions. "I'll be right back, Aires." He said as he glanced at the newcomer through his helmet. "I'm going to check if Elinore and Ben are at their usual hideouts. Once I find them, we need to have a... team meeting back at our room when you're finished here." Without saying another word, he left and ran upstairs to the roof. "Elinore!" He yelled out as he walked toward her hideout. "Are you here- hey! Go away you damn birds!" A flock of baby Nevermores that were resting on the roof attacked William when he unknowingly approached them. They were relentlessly pecking him and ripping his school uniform apart with no intentions of stopping. He electrified several of them with his semblance, but only made the remaining avian creatures become more aggressive in their attack. "Okay, we can talk this out with my fist in your little faces!" Being the calm diplomat he was well-known for in Beacon, he punched any Grimm that was within range and sent them flying unconscious off the roof. He was on the verge of victory until realizing he was on the edge of the roof. Before he could do anything, one of the birds flew right at his face and made him slip off the platform. He managed to grab onto the edge in time to avoid falling to his death, which wouldn't be much of a problem if the school didn't restrict him from wearing his full armor outside of combat. Now perched on the edge, the small Nevermores seem to laugh at his untimely demise through their squawks and began pecking his exposed hands.


"What should I have them write on your tombstone, Will?" A.D asked through the helmet as William tried to electrocute the birds through his hands, which they back off from in time before becoming burned chicken. "Here lies William. A terrible fellow who fell to his death after small Nevermores pushed him off the roof. May he rot for eternity." Before William could say something unpleasant to the A.I, he suddenly lost his grip. "You have a 1.5% chances of surviving the fall with a whooping 98.5% of becoming paralyzed forever... it was nice knowing you, ya shisno."

 

[rooke]

Hayden was on a stroll around the grounds as he heard will getting attacked by a group of Nevermore hatchlings on the roof. "Blasted fool." The student said as his armored classmate lost his grip. "And he isn't wearing his armor. Genius..." Hayden commented as his astral projection manifested itself, making the student take on the form of a large astral crow. Giving himself a bit of a running start, he dove to catch Will and tucking him, thus saving him from the fall, but potentially crushing him as he wasn't fully aware of how strong he was in the state.

 

[Archdemon]

"........Shade......" The man watched as William left. It seemed that these people didn't trust him yet but that was understandable since he worked for a terrorist organization. He made eye contact with Aires an said "Forgive me for being so blunt...... It's been awhile since I've ever had a normal conversation with someone..... But I've got a few questions that need answering......" He waited for a bit. When no answer came from her he closed his eyes and sighed. "Back on the White Fang ship you went completely berserk and everyone was getting hurt, both enemies and allies..... I want to know what caused that."


@RushWing

 

[RushWing]

"Okay, see ya later Will." She smiled and waved at him. She was wondering why he wasn't wearing his armor like before but turned her attention to the guy in front of her. "Shade, huh. Alright, what do you want to talk about?" She listened to him and then came to the conclusion that he was nuts. "Wait, back up. What White Fang ship? I don't go berserk, and this is the first time I've ever met you." She stood a little creeped out by the guy. Then out of the corner of her eyes she saw Kaze.


"Finally, I found you!" Kaze said as he followed the scent to where his sister was. "How are you?" He asked her.


"I'm fin Kaze but this weirdo here, kinda just ruined my breakfast. Can you please tell him to lay off."


"He doesn't seem to be causing any trouble."


"He keeps asking me stuff about a White Fang base and that I went berserk, and people got hurt and gah! I don't even know him!" Aires yelled out a bit, Kaze grabbed her shoulders and told her to calm down.


"Aires, what did you do yesterday?" He knew that she had been in a coma for several weeks so if she answered with something different than he would know something was up.


"Huh? We were in Nat's freaky class where we had to fight and it was completely unsafe. Hello? You were there remember?"


That was all Kaze needed. It was true, Aires didn't remember anything. "Hey sis I think you might hurry up and get to class." It was almost the start of class, she waved bye to her brother and gave Shade a glare as she skipped away.


Kaze sat down, he didn't know what Shade looked like but he scent was there. "Look Aires doesn't know anything and I think it's best if it stayed that way. If you keep bothering her it may cause things to boil and come up. I'm begging you don't do that." With that Kaze stood, grabbed his sister's tray of food and walked away throwing it in the garbage.

 

[Archdemon]

Shade just sat there in silence as Aires got creeped out. Then Kaze came and began talking to her.... She left shade with a single Glare and Kaze explained she didn't remember a thing because of the coma... Then he told him never to bring up the subject again otherwise it may lead to bad things happening in the future. He just sat there for awhile before getting up and leaving. He kept his head down as he walked the halls of the school waiting for something to happen.

 

[WiLeo]

"This is really painful!" William yelled out after feeling his entire body being crushed by Hayden's semblance. "Can you please let go of me before you break something? I appreciate being saved from a painful death, but I also prefer to be able to move after it."


Alex was patrolling around the campus for any 'potential' threats to the security of the school when he noticed someone on top of the roof of a random building. Not sure who it was, he went to the back of the building before climbing up its walls to avoid detection. After making it to the roof, he pulls out Bluntfire and quietly approached the possible intruder from behind. He raised his club above his head and was ready to smack them before noticing the unique battleaxe beside them. "Didn't I tell you to stop going on top of the roof, Elinore?" He sighed after putting his club away and stands right next to Elinore. "I thought I made that clear for the past weeks. No one is allowed on the roof, especially after someone broke into the school's Transmit tower a while ago. The last thing I need is some guard accusing you of being an infiltrator."

 

[rooke]

"Relax William." Hayden replied as he began to return to his normal, human size. "Now, can you move your arms and legs?" The student asked politely as he offered his fellow hunter-in-training a hand up.


"Everyone is out Ben. Let's move." Trinity called out to her brother.


"Not yet. You go on. I'll catch up." Ben said with a small grin as he was rummaging through some of the remaining items in the room.


"No we are leaving. Remember there is the military on the way. Ready to destroy an old factory to stop the Thieves of Vale. Let's move." Trinity retorted trying to figure out what her partner was fiddling with.


"Yeah. But remember, I'm the luckiest Faunus who ever lived." The monkey replied with a smirk and laugh. "Now get out of here. Before they find the leader of the Thieves Guild."


"Fine. You're more stubborn than a Boarbatusk you idiot." Trinity said before dropping out of the nearby window and rolling as she hit the ground. The sound of her motorcycle starting up made her Faunus brother smile.


"Goodbye Klepta. Time to meet the friendly soldiers of Atlas." Ben said as he held up the feather he was holding. With a smile the Faunus stood up and began to put on his armor and assembled his arsenal of weapons.

 

[RushWing]

"Boring! Boring! Boring! I'm bored!" Aires muttered under her breath. "Gah, what time is it? Huh?" She noticed the other students looking at her. "What?" She couldn't understand what was up with their looks. "Stop it already!" After snapping at them they all went back to the lecture. She took out her scroll and sent a message to Ben.


To: Benjamin Grey


Subject: Hey boyfriend! : )


Hey where are you? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever! Anyways class is boring. Haha, I thought we could grab some lunch or something later. Let me know! : )


From: Aires Phoenix


Aires then sighed as class dragged by and she doodled her day away. Little did she know what Kaze was up to.


"Sir!" Kaze yelled as he burst through the doors to Ozpin and Goodwitch was the, of course. They both looked at him with interest and not an inch of surprise. "I'm sorry but I have something to say!" Kaze pleaded, Ozpin approached him as he set his coffee mug down. "Mr. Phoenix, if you indeed have something of importance to say, then don't delay. It may be that we already know. And in the future try to knock first." Goodwitch smiled so lightly that it barely looked like a smile. Kaze gulped and took a breath. "Concerning the team that was massacred...." He trembled, he knew what he was doing but it was still going to hurt, even if he is protecting his sister. As for Ozpin and Goodwitch, they were engulfed into what he was about to say. "I know the one that destroyed them."


"Then tell us boy, now!" Goodwitch retorted a bit too harshly, Ozpin shook his head and she calmed down. "Kaze," Ozpin began, "what is it you would like to know?"


Kaze could feel the sweat bead up around his body, "I would like to know what will happen to the murderer." Goodwitch and Oz traded glances and then Oz nodded, Goodwitch stepped up. "They will be taken into custody and most likely be executed depending upon the sentence." Kaze feared for Aires, at the moment. She was under the control of our parents and she would never ever hurt anyone, unless under pressure or control! He knew that it was clear. At this point in time, at least in her memory, Aires still doesn't like me and she doesn't know that we're orphans. I know what I have to do. "I did it." It grew even more silent, "I killed them. . . Forget anything anyone else had told you. . . It was me." His eyes were forever covered by his sunglasses that allowed him to see some things, but the burning in his throat and eyeswe're Something's he wished he couldn't feel at the moment. Ozpin looked at Goodwitch and then realized the severity of the situation.

 

[rooke]

The monkey Faunus heard the alert from his scroll go off in his bag. Yanking the device out of the pocket he read the message. "Aires is awake? When did she wake up?"


-------------------


To: William, Elinore, Hayden, Kaze


Subject: Aires


How long has she been awake?


-------------------


The message would be the first between him and his team in a while. Ben sat and began to run his temples, aggressively digging into his skin. His teeth barred, he thought about what he was going to do now. "This throws a wrench in my plan to just die..." He muttered. "I gotta get out of here."


----------------


Quick reply: Aires


Sure thing. It may be a little bit late of a lunch. Where should we go?


----------------


As soon as the Faunus pressed send, he heard the whirring engine of an approaching Atlas bullhead. "Oh fuck me..."

 

[noalaniwolf]

Guess who's back))


"Why does it matter?" Elinore asked with her solemn gazed fixed on the horizon. "I'm going to be expelled soon, let them throw as many claims as they want my way." she sighed. Elinore leaned forward and slumped, shifting her gaze from the horizon down to the ground far bellow the ledge she sat on. "Expulsion would be lucky though. I'm facing some serious charges here. Those families, they're out for blood. And who could blame them, I was too when my family was killed. And it's not like I'm letting Aires take the blame for this one. She's innocent, it wasn't even her that killed those guys. Now me, ya see, I'm a killer. I've killed two people in cold blood now, and five died because I didn't stop it. Do you realize how....how awful that is? I wanted to become a Huntress so I could save people, so no one had to die and no families would be ripped apart. Now look where I am. I've over doubled the number of people who would have lived if I was just.....better." Elinore covered her face with her hands and took a deep breath "Maybe, maybe this is just the universe's way of telling me that I'm not meant to be here."

 

[Happy Red Mage]

(Suddenly, memes!)

 

[WiLeo]

"Elinore," Alex said while scratching his head. "You're going to be expelled AND arrested if Ozpin thinks you caused those kids' deaths." He takes a seat next to Elinore, letting his legs dangle off the roof. "Now I can't predict the future nor view the past, but what I can see beside me isn't some cold blooded killer. What I see is a young lady who's still improving herself everyday to become the best future Huntress ever in Beacon history." He looks at Elinore with a small smile. "You're going to make mistakes, big or small, throughout your life. There's no denying that fact. I mean sure, cold blooded murder is a morally terrible thing to do, but I've done it plenty times in my life without getting caught once!" He said with a awkward laugh. He scratches his head again, clearly not sure what to say next. Motivational speeches were never his forte. While thinking of what to say next, his eyes focused on Elinore's battle axe. "...what inspired your weapon’s name?"


William nods as he gets up with Hayden's help. "Thanks." He said while bending his arms to see if they still worked. "I should probably tell the staff about those flock of pests later. Hopefully it'll prevent another person from falling off the roof like me." Feeling his scroll vibrate, he pulls it out and reads the message. "Well at least now I know he's not dead..."


-------------------


To: Benjamin


Subject: Aires


She's been alive and kicking for a few hours now. You should probably come visit us and NOT DISAPPEAR WITHOUT NOTICE, YA SHISNO!


That is all.


-------------------


After sending the message, he puts his scroll away. "So... how's life been treating you, Hayden?" He asked. "It's been a while since we last spoke to each other."

 

[RushWing]

"Yay! Date with Ben! Gotta tell Lulu!" Aires smiles grabbing her scroll from her bag and messages Ben.


To: Benjamin Grey


From: Aires Phoenix


Subject: Date


I don't know maybe a cafe or a picnic! It's so pretty today! Can't wait to see you!


Making her way to her next class she sees legs dangling from a roof. "Elinore?" Smiling she unfolds her wings and pulses once throwing herself into the sky. "Lulu!" Aires shouted as she neared her friend.


"Someone get me Elinore in this office." Oz said as he sped his coffee. "Mr. Phoenix, you have twenty four hours to collect your things and. . ." Ozpin hesitated, "and say goodbye to anyone you deem necessary." Kaze didn't a say anything, he didn't even move. Turning his back to the faunus, Ozpin excused Kaze. Goodwitch stopped him at the door, "If you try to run we will stop you." With that Kaze left the office and made his way to his room. His team was no where to be found. Angel and Tavril were gone for a while now and Hayden was also gone. "Well it's not like they ever wanted me anyway, and I guess I wasn't any real help to them either." He packed his things into one small bag and stood looking at his room one last time. "I guess it's time to find Aires . . . Should I even say good bye to her?" He stood still, contemplating his decision. "I won't run, at least I know that."

 

[rooke]

Hayden thought about the fact he had disappeared for some time. "It's been okay. You know, Grim coming closer to the school and getting the hang of my semblance. How's your team?" He asked, intrigued by what Will had muttered. It was obvious who he was talking about. Only one student had gone completely AWOL. "I hope everyone is alright after what happened."


"You have got to be kidding me..." Benjamin murmured as he felt two vibrations from his scroll. "Atlas just has perfect timing..."


-----------------------------


Quick Reply: Will


You can lecture me later.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Quick Reply: Aries


Sounds good. I'll meet you at the noodle shop downtown.


------------------------------


Hitting send the monkey Faunus looked out the window and tried to spy the incoming bullhead. "Probably a troop transport. Hopefully..." Benjamin said with a solemn face as he listened for any sounds of boots.

 

[WiLeo]

"The team is doing somewhat alright." William replied as he checked the message from Benjamin. "We've hit a bumpy road, but I think everything is going to be good now. Aires woke up from her coma today and Ben is still alive somewhere. Elinore..." He paused for moment. "...has been a bit distant lately, but I'm sure she'll feel better once she knows Aires is awake." Typing up a message, he sends it to his absent teammate.


-------------------


Quick Reply: Benjamin


I will lecture the dust out of you until your ears fall off when you come back! Just you wait!


-------------------


"Which reminds me," He said while putting away his scroll. "Have you seen Elinore anywhere? I can't seem to find her at her usual spots."


Alex nearly fell off the roof when Aires suddenly appeared in front of them. "Okay, now that was not cool!" He exclaimed while grabbing his heart. "Who scares the dust out of people when they are on the roof? I could have died from fright or-" Feeling a vibration in his pocket, he quickly pulls out his scroll and reads the message. Putting on a serious face, he gets up and faces Elinore. "Elinore," He said bitterly. "Ozpin would like to have a word with you at his office right now." He takes a quick glance at the avian faunus. "Bring Aires along too. Ozpin might want her present in the meeting." Without waiting for a reply, he heads off to Ozpin's office in Beacon Tower.
