Ophelia ShayamaOphelia cocked her head as she heard Cherry mention another mother. It was strange to her from someone other than herself. She must be adopted. That answers the lack of traits. I didn't know that. Feeling a bit guilty for never really asking many questions about her Ophelia decided to make the change. She smiled at her as she offered her mother for parent's day. It was such a sweet gesture, but it stuck a cord in the girl's heart. Almost any mother she borrowed didn't end up well, and this one is completely her fault. However, she wouldn't let it come to the worst, she vowed to herself to make this the end.

Taking a deep breath she changed her mind she smiled brightly at Cherry. "Well I wouldn't want to take your mother from you, but I do think I'd like to stay and chat with you all. Homework can wait. I'd love to hear more about all of you." She looked over Bora and her parents as well. It's about time I made an effort to get to know people. She wondered what the pasts of her friends were. Ophelia knew that Cherry was a open book as always, but Bora was a mystery. Maybe this will open a dialogue between them, since they are partners after all. "That is if you'll have me."

Grey Rook SchneeGrey watched as Nix opened the door and informed him that his other cousins were inside. Giving him a stern nod he stepped by, letting Nix storm off in the emotional huff he was always in. He never understood what was wrong with his cousin and didn't bother to care at all. Not wanting to really face his overly cheerful cousins, he had a feeling that Onyx was in there. Rather than leaving her without a good bye he took the chance. Taking a deep and heavy sigh he stepped inside and stifled a groan as he heard his name. Looking down at his cousin he gave her a polite bow, before passed by her. "Summer." Stepping into the room he looked over to ruby and gave her a polite bow as well, "Ms. Rose." Watching as the two not very coyly leave in order to give them their space he calmly thanked them. "Thank you." With that he turned around and made his way to his girlfriend's door.

Knocking on it gently he opened the door and called out to her. "Onyx? I have to head to Atlas for work but I wanted to see you before I left. May I come in?"

She sat rigid when she heard the knock, watching it gently open as at first she thought it was her mother. But she instantly relaxed when she faintly heard Grey. She smiled, removing her earbuds. "Yeah, Grey come on in." She said, beckoning him in. Her black long sleeve was now on the floor, a similar colored tanktop replacing it as she sat against her bed rather than on it, her scroll in her hand. "How long until you have to go?" She asked, trying to sound fine, but it was evident she had been crying not two minutes earlier.​

Grey Rook SchneeHe didn't have much time, he'd thought he could just check up on her and ease out. Onyx was a strong girl and was probably enjoying her day with her mother. He didn't have anything to worry about and yet he felt the need to see her. Grey stepped in and the moment he saw her face a soft smile grown his face as he came closer to her. It was strange a show he relaxed when he was near her however, this time his brow furrowed ever so slightly as he noticed something was off.

She had been crying.

Anger built up within him. His first instinct was to find whoever it was who made her cry and obliterate them. However, he knew not to act hastily and instead looked up on her with kind, all be it a bit saddened, eyes. Walking over to her he sat beside her against the bed. Reaching out he wrapped a arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. "It doesn't matter. I'll be here as long as you need me." Rubbing her arm he rested his eyes on her. "Now tell me what are you doing in here while you're mom is here? Didn't you go meet her?" He already knew the answer, but he knew it was better for her to explain her side of things, listen to her and be there for her at the moment. The airship can wait, right now Onyx was more important.

She looked at him, smiling lightly as just his presence put her at ease a bit more, the turmoil in her heart quelled for the moment. "I... Yeah, I saw her... But..." She paused, leaning into his chest, trying to keep her breath steady. "It was all my fault... I never gave her a chance to react, and I just left her and-" She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face as leaned into him, trying desperately to calm down. She was shaking, and her breath rattled out almost.

"I never said goodbye..."​

Grey Rook SchneeGrey looked over at the distraught girl and his brow furrowed. Listening to her he ran his fingers through her long black locks and listened to her as she tried to steady her breathing. He hated to see her like this, he wasn't sure what exactly she was talking about, but he could piece it together. She told her mother something and then ran off afraid, he supposed, of how she would react. He could think of a few things that would cause Onyx concern but focused on making her feel better. She leaned into him and he instinctively took her into his arms as if she was a delicate glass figurine. Quietly calming her he spoke calmly his voice a deep soothing hum, "hey. It's alright. Maybe she hasn't left yet, we could go look for her."

Thinking for a moment as he gently rubbed her back he paused and motioned over to Onyx. Reaching up he brushed the falling tears from her cheeks as he lifted her chin up and looked into her her golden eyes. "Or, you can come with me to Atlas. I have some business to attend to there, but it won't take up too much of the day. I could show you around the kingdom and take your mind off all the awful things that have happened over the past few months. How does that sound?" He brush some waylay strands of hair out of her face and behind her ear a looked deep into her eyes, waiting for her answer.

Onyx glanced up at him, smile broadening at the prospect. She slowly recovered and it was a few minutes of steadying breaths before she responded. "I... I'll call her later, I can't face her now... It'd be too much. Or I'll go see her later I the year... But... I will take you up in your offer to Atlas. It'd be my first time." She told him, planting a kiss in his cheek. "Plus, I'd like to get away, the cold may be a nice change." She said, trying to lighten the mood for herself. She felt better now, still a bit shaky, but at least she was better emotionally.​

Grey Rook SchneeSeeig her slowly return to herself Grey was glad he could do something for her in her time of need. He waited for her to take her time and calm herself, get a clearer head. His eyes never faltered from her face as he waited for her to gather herself and tell him what she wanted. Grey wasn't all powerful, but he would do everything in his power to give Onyx whatever she wanted. It was his duty to himself and her. As she looked up at him he met her eyes with his own and he stroked her cheek again. It was amazing to see someone be so fluid in personality, she currently didn't operate in the rules of absolute emotion like himself. She expressed so many emotions to him, ones he'd never really understand.

Giving a gentle smile to Onyx as she agreed to come with him as to Atlas. Feeling his body warm as she kissed his cheek he nodded, "very well then." Wrapping one arm around her waist he hooked the other one under her legs and lifted her up with ease. "Don't worry about packing, we can buy everything you need in Atlas." Loosening his grip he let her slide down two her feet, but still kept her close to him. He could tell she was still a bit shaky on her feet but the they were running out of time. It was growing dark as they spoke and he had to be in Atlas by the morning. "Ready to go?"

She squeaked as she was lifted up, giggling uncontrollably as she looked at him with a wide smile, all sadness from the last few minutes gone. She went down to her feet when he let her and leaned against him, gaining control of herself once more. "Thank you for that! But are you sure you are ok with buying me things? How long are we staying?" She asked, bending down to go under her bed, pulling out the spear, doing a quick twirl before taking the strap and wrapping it around her.

"Now I am ready... Oh, wait!" She fished out her scroll, and quickly created a chat with Summer. Im heading to Atlas with Grey, I'll let you know when I am back. Stay safe!

She sent the message to her, then pocketed the scroll. "Now I am ready Grey." She said finally, an ear twitching in anticipation as she looked up at him, excitement swelling up in her.​

Jade listened intently to her partner's issue. "So he is around then? That's tough. But I mean if you don't want to see him as your dad, then don't. Reasons or not he wasn't around. That's all there is to it. Your feelings are no less valid about it then Summer's. And if you don't want to see him as your father, then don't. If you have to think of him as something connected to you, then he was just the sperm donor. Any guy can be a father, the hard part is being a dad. "

She placed her hand on Nix's. "I'm here if you need me about the breakup. And you're damn right you can't run. I'd kick your ass first. We still need you, at least I do. Otherwise I'm stuck with the shy new girl and the leader that's hardly around. Though, honestly if things are as bad as you say with your dad I wouldn't fault you for it." Once they landed she walked out ahead of him and turned around.

"Now. Bring your mind back here. Didn't your mom teach you it's rude to be thinking about someone else when you're out with a girl?"

Phoenix was glad to have Jade around to talk. He almost forgot how it felt to have her around to help him with things. She was right about one thing, he can't leave her with how our current team is at. That is the one thing that Ruby taught him to do. Look after your team. He debated on telling her who his father was, but then again, if he really didn't care about him, why give him attention.

"Yeah, closer than you would actually think..." Nix sighed but then looked down at Jade, "As for my breakup, it was a mutual thing, it just hurts for both of us." He rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to seem alright, but a bit nervous. Once the airship landed he looked over at Jade and agreed with her last statement. "You're right, let's not talk about that, let's just have fun and hang out."

Nix offered Jade a small side smile as he motioned Jade to lead the way out of the airship. Walking over to the parking garage, he glances over to Jade to ask, "You sure you are fine going on the bike? I don't want it to cause anything to hurt." He stopped right at his bike and looked over to Jade to hear her thoughts. "I don't mind walking either if you rather do that. If you get tired, I'll even carry you back."

Feeling Sage seize up Cirrus winced guiltily and rubbed his shoulder comfortingly, he hadn't wanted to spring it on Sage like this but he had seen the wheels turning in his parents heads the moment he had called Sage by name. When Sage mentioned his injuries Cirrus looked down at him in concern. "If you're having trouble you should at least sit down, my dorm is right here come on." He ushered Sage inside as quickly as he dared and got him sat down on the sofa while his parents followed him in.

While Winter remained standing to survey the common area Qrow perched on another seat and watched his son sit down next to the faunus. "So...Sage, something about Lil' Jay caught your eye huh?" Flushing red Cirrus covered his face. "Dad" He had expected his father to be at least slightly subtle in his questioning, Winter scowled a little at Qrow's bluntness but was curious enough about the relationship to let him cut right to the point.

Sage nodded, allowing Cirrus to usher him to his dorm. "Thanks. I must have fallen pretty hard to return the pain... I'll be fine after a while," Sage explained to Cirrus. Seated on the couch, Sage shifted a bit in order to find a position where he felt the pain go away slowly. When his name was called out by Qrow, he looked up. Turning red at the question, Sage looked away from a moment, trying to hide his flustered face from everyone. He took the question into consideration for a moment as he silently thought about it, but it didn't take long.

"Well," Sage spoke up nervously, his face still a bit red, "Cirrus is good looking... but it was his kindness and ability to be a good leader that attracted me even more." Sage sent a side glance to Cirrus, trying to see if he didn't say anything out of hand. Sage finally smiled genuinely as she continued, "I don't think I have ever met someone like Cirrus, which makes me want to cherish this relationship even more."

Akashi Taurus

Location: BASL Dorm (Akashi's room)
Nearby: no clue
@Tags: anyone

Ah, the worst part of every school year, parent day. Without a doubt, the worst part of being the son of a man who tops the most wanted list is that you usually can't expect him to show for any events an area not under his control, or any event if it didn't directly have to do with him only. So while the school's students spend the day with their parents and out and about, Akashi locked himself into his room, twirling his pistols in a bed full of candy wrappers and bullets. So what if it was lame, and he was insanely bored? He didn't have to deal with those people and their parents. Even worse, he might run into the "Heroes of Remnant". He shivered in distaste at the thought of having to talk to one. No, Akashi was perfectly fine with spending the rest of the day in his room. He had already spent his whole day so far in there, so what's a few more hours?

To be honest, Akashi wondered frequently how his team and friends were doing. The funny thing about being in a room all day is, you have absolutely no idea what goes on outside. Most he knew about the outside was what passed through the view of his window, which was unsurprisingly insufficient. Maybe he should head out..... "Nah, they don't want me ruining their parent time."

Iris An Ren
The two walked, hand in hand, Iris smiling wide with the warmth in her hand. As they walked Ren seemed to lose himself in nostalgia, taking in the various buildings and dorms that he used to call his own. The silence was gentle, not forced, and while Ren sunk into the past life of the school; Iris found herself imagining life on the farm with him. Both enjoyed the moment, in their own ways, but it was the time together that made it as wonderful as it was. "Not much has changed since I was here," Ren took a deep breath, "No, much has changed." A quick squeeze of Iris' hand brought her back to the world around them, the voice illuminating that the two had made it to the dorms.

Iris allowed her father to lead her in, taking the lead with him in tote. Even with the large hand of her father, Iris still attempted to avoid most of the large groups of teams, taking some awkward routes to the silent dismay of Ren. As they approached their dorm the intervals of clicking coming from Iris revealed three figures, two of which moved fast towards them. Iris backed up, meeting the body of her father as a brace. The hand moved to her shoulder, reaffirming of his presence.

"It has been some time, but that makes the reunion much more exciting." Ren smiled, looking up and down the couple. "Ah, yes, this is Iris." With the introduction Iris bowed her head. "And this is your boy? I can see so much of both of you in him." As her head lifted the boy known as their team leader had made his way next to her, leaving the two to speak while the parent's exchanged pleasantries. Iris' hands moved to clasp one another, still leaning into her father.

The little time she'd spent with her teammates revealed that they were kind, if very different. "Um," Iris swallowed, "I've enjoyed Beacon, I think I'm still adjusting however." Iris attempted a small grin, hoping the answer was enough to satiate the conversation.

[The Suspicious Eye]

Time Skip Arc 1: The FallParents day came to a restful end. Some parents left after spending the day with their children, while other parents stayed in the temporary housing on Beacon's grounds. Some parents even quietly whisked their children off into the night. In any case the evening was restful for all of Vale, the dark starry sky above Vale was peaceful and welcoming. However, underneath this sky something sinister began to flood through the city of Vale. It started off slow, often things do. It was just a few people at first, a man weary in the middle of the night getting a glass of water to parch his lips. A woman stepping into her shower to clean herself off of the long day. A child washing their hands like a 'grown up.' The normal going ons of the people in Vale, that was quickly slashed with a cacophony of pain as each person screamed. Their body twisting and snapping, their skin undulating and calcifying as the cool white bone of a grimm engulfed them. Their cries stopped as the once humans fell into a suffocating slumber, the new skin darkening and bone protruding out. The beasts eyes glowed with rage and their instincts took over from their birth, destroy. The brutus grimms destroyed what their once human selves called home, the pipes spurting water around the area and flooding the place only creating more of them. They took to the street, busting through walls and attacking those unlucky to be touched by the divine water. As the sun peaked up Vale was already overrun with the brutus grimm the screams and cries of the survivors echoed out as up in Beacon the huntsmen were just now to wake.

Alert! Alert!The whole school flashed red with with alarms blaring loudly. A mass text was sent to students, teachers and all huntsmen in the surrounding area.

Then the ground below them began to shake...

Oscar Pine"Is Vale really under attack?!" One student said, her whole body shaking with fear as she stood beside the walls.

"What are we going to do?!" Another student exclaimed as they huddled together against the wall in fear.

Oscar noticed them and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "Stay calm. Follow the alert and follow the others students to the airship. Don't worry about retrieving your weapons now. Wait till you all are out on the air field." He pointed towards the direction the other students were going, "go now." He watched as the two students nodded and followed the rest of them down the halls and out towards the airship. Looking out at them one mote time, his brow furrowed in worry as he turned on his heels and went in the opposite direction.

Making his own way quickly down the halls he went to look for Ruby. He knew that she wouldn't stray so far from their children after one day he needed to make sure she and their children got out of Beacon immediately. Passing students as they ran down the halls and out towards the airships he was a fish swimming upstream. Stopping from time to time to guide frightened students down the right path. Growing more stressed he activated his semblance and began to flit through time to find his wife and children. Flittering through the halls so quickly he passed by many secrets that the students might be holding.

Grey Rook SchneeSitting in his private airship Grey looked out the window at the daybreak. His chest rising as he set out a heavy sigh as his mind went off to distant plans and work that he had to do in Atlas once they landed. His brow began to furrow as a serious look rested on his face. Then he felt a weight on his shoulder. Brows rising in surprise he glanced over to see a sleeping Onyx resting her head against his shoulder. It had been a long ride and it was reasonable for her to have fallen asleep. A gentle smile grew on his face as he couldn't resist how innocent she looked at the moment, sleeping next to him so easily. Only Sherlion and Argent would sleep beside him so easily without discomfort. To find someone who wasn't apart of him who felt this comfortable was...good. It was a painful goodness Grey felt in his heart at the moment. Reaching up he gently took his thumb and fore finger and brushed a wayward strand of hair out of Onyx's face. "We're almost here Onyx." he said softly, trying his best to wake her up gently.

Ophelia Shayama, Reinheart Torchwick, ???? & ???? Ophelia, breathing heavy and covered in sweat, stopped and coughed up a bit of blood. Holding her side she looked behind her her eyes wide with fear."Gods dammit! Stay away from me!" Running faster on her bare feet she looked out at the smoke of Vale. A loud screech Came in front of her as a car blocked her from continuing on the road. Stopping she cursed under her breath as she began to move around only to be grabbed by a strong hand. In a swift movement she was swung around and slammed against the car door.

Letting out a pained grunt she struggled against her oppressor who barely budged. "Enough of this, Firefly. We'll take you where you want to go. Your job isn't done." The car door opened and Ophelia was shoved in, the powerful man entering again. Instantly Ophelia went to the doors trying to open them. "It's no use, just sit, Firefly."

"Fuck you! And fuck this! And stop calling me that you bastard!" She spat at him her eyes burning with rage, but still bloodshot from all the crying she'd done before. Her whole body was shaking with rage and sparks flickered against her skin. "There's no way I'm ever finishing this job. You killed the only advantage you have over me. I refuse to follow you or my mother anymore."

"Really?" The tanned man smiled, "you're still thinking too small. You were dumb enough to make friends on this journey, people you care about. You really didn't think Mai wouldn't tell us?" He leaned in and his golden eyes flickered with cruel intentions. "You surrounded yourself with more hostages than we could ever want and we know how to get to the-"

He was cut off as Ophelia slapped him hard across the face. Her chest heaving with rage only for her to pull it back and hold it tightly. FUCK!! She cursed to herself, pretty sure that she broke her hand. Damn his semblance. I hate him. She glared at him, "shut the fuck up. I'll be your martyr you asshole." She sat back down her body still shaking, her hand pulsing with pain as the car started and drove down the far away path to Beacon.

To her.

Meanwhile in Beacon...

"I don't like this." Ren said as he sat up in the bed. The red lights of Beacon encompassing the room. He looked down at the bright screen of his scroll as he saw the alert.

"Come now Chap. You know what you want doesn't matter." Ophelia said with a warm smile on her face as she tilted her head and wriggled her hips playfully. Sliding beside him her fingers slowly walked up Ren's arm and leaned over as she looked at the alert along with him. "Sounds scary. I wonder what will happen." She looked up at Ren, "what are you going to do?" Her unfamiliar smile never fading from her face.

Ren looked at his scroll for a moment longer and his brow furrowed even more. Letting out a heavy sigh he closed his eyes and took a moment to gather his thoughts. His trembling hands steadied themselves as he found his resolve. "I'm going to save her." He brushed Ophelia's arm off his shoulders and stood up. Grabbing his jacket and hat he looked over at Ophelia who was still smiling at her. "Come on. It's time."

Ophelia looked up at Ren and her body turned red and shivered a bit before dulling to a pasty cream and forming the image of Grey. "Finally I was starting to grow bored, chap." Grey said as he got up and stretched his arms. "Let's get this road on the show, so you can get your poppet back." The unusual grin on Grey's face faded and returned to the usual scowl the boy held constantly. His body returned to the rigid and cold stance that he constantly held.

Ren and Grey stepped out of his room and looked out around team CROC's living room. As they stepped out the ground beneath them shook again this time more violently. A lamp and some of the plates and glasses in the kitchen clattered down to the ground and shattered.

Tumbling out of bed Cirrus grabbed up his weapon out of reflex before waking up properly and noticing the alert on his scroll, hurriedly throwing his clothes on he bounded into the common area and found Ren and his brother there already. "Grey?! What are you doing here? I thought you left for Atlas hours ago." Looking at the still closed bedroom doors he called out to his absent teammates. "Croc! Bruno! Get out here now!"

Feeling the floor shake underneath him Cirrus opened his scroll and called Sage, while his boyfriend had seemed better after resting Cirrus still didn't think he had recovered enough to handle himself in whatever new crisis had arisen.

Saffron had been exhausted after the events of yesterday. He had spent most of the day around his father which in and of itself was stressful.

Lathander had made no secret of the fact he disapproved of his son's choice to be a Huntsman, but did reluctantly support Saffron's right to choose his life. And by the end of it, Lathander couldn't argue that Saffron seemed a lot happier here. Certainly happier than when he had left home to travel Mistral, and miles happier than when he had returned from his journey. His final words to Saffron before hopping on a ship back to Mistral had been "At least you're smiling again."

And yet, despite his exhaustion he woke easily. The alarms and lights immediately sent adrenaline through him, waking him up. Tossing the covers back he threw his cloak on and hurried out of the room. He said quickly "Yeah, still here Cul. Make sure Sage is up and moving." before opening the doors to the other teammate's room. Doing Sky's since hers was closer he poked his head in "You up yet Sky? Let's go, we've got work to do" . His narrowed eyes darted around, searching. The message had said the Brutus were in Vale, but given the rumbling of the ground there was every reason to double check.

It had been a long night. After having gotten ice cream, Jade and Nix had spent time mostly just walking around the city. Nix had been in no hurry to return to Beacon, and she had nowhere better to be. Despite his worry she had been fine stayed with him until he had been ready to go back. They had avoided talking about the reason why he had needed to be away from Beacon after his initial telling. She would have liked to have met the parents of their teammates, but Nix had needed the company more. Whether he would have admitted it or not was a different matter. She hadn't even changed out of her uniform before she planted herself on the mattress and passed out.

Jade felt around her side table, searching for her. "What the hell...I don't remember setting an alarm." Grabbing it and cracking her eyes open she squinted at the message. Bolting upright she echoed her earlier statement, but louder. "What the hell!" Running out of her room, she called out to her team. "You guys still here?"

Onyx had been sleeping peacefully, shifting to better rest on Grey's shoulder for most of the flight. It was surprising how tired she got, sleeping a few hours into the flight. "Hmm?" She hummed, eyes fluttering open as she lazily made her way off of his shoulder. "You said we're almost here, right?" She asked, a bit drowsy still. Although when the alarm went off she jumped, making a panicked sound as her scroll went off.

She shifted in her seat, pulling out her scroll after she calmed down. She pulled up the message and her eyes went from barely open to wide about halfway through the message. "That's not good..." She quickly types out something to Summer, then shows the message to Grey. "Think they'll be alright? We should probably head back as soon as we can." She said to him, putting her scroll away after he had read it.

Text to Summer: Sum, are you alright? I saw the alert, I need to know if everyone is ok! Please text me back as soon as you can!​

The sound of the alert going off throughout the dorm room, sturred both Sage and Skyler out of bed as they began to wrestle with their lack of sleep.

Skyler tried to blink away her confusion as she tried to look for her phone which was being muffled from under her pillow. "What's going on..." she asked still groggy. Noticing the message finally she snapped to action, dressing out of her wrinkled uniform. She normally had her shorts underneath her uniform so she just had to get her top and skirt off before she threw on her jacket. She began to hear her team running around the dorm as well as she called back to Saffron, "I'm ready to go." She was definitely happy she had stayed up late until her daggers were finished, which she strapped them into place as she walked out of her room.

Sage jolted out of bed as he took out his weapon from within his closet, which was a pair of dark green colored pistols, and threw on a hoodie. Before he could run out of his room, a message popped up in his scroll from Cirrus. 'I'm fine, the adrenaline is helping. I'll see you at the airships,' was all he responded back as he met up with his team in the common room. "I'm up, let's go!" Sage explained. He was glad that his team took his uncle's suggestion of keeping their weapons close to them, as they were combat ready in a matter of minutes.

Skyler looked over at Sage, wanting to see if he looked like he was in pain, but surprisingly enough he didn't. She nodded and looked over to Saffron, "What's the plan, Saff? That's a stupid question we need to go to the airships to help out, so let's get moving." She glanced at Sage once more and requested, "Stick close to someone Sage. Just in case things get bad." Sage just nodded, not in the mood to fight back with his cousin at the moment. Sage and Skyler followed right behind Saffron as he led the way to the Airships.

After his outing with Jade was good for him as he felt a bit better after it. Normally he would have slept through his alarm, but the bright red light that seemed to be coming from somewhere woke him up. It took him a bit to collect himself until he heard Jade's voice over the alert coming from his phone. "I'm still here!" he called out to her, reading through the alert. That pulled him out of his sleep as he threw his covers to the side and getting changed in his combat outfit. A message from both his sister and mother made him call them which they both answer at the same time. "What's going on!?" he exclaimed, as he wrestled with his shoes. Ruby quickly answered, "Grimm in Vale, there isn't much time to explain why it's happening but just get to the airships." Both Summer and Nix agreed and they all hung up.

Out in the common room, he only noticed Jade out of her room. "I'll check on Pyro, go and check on Iris!" Nix jumped into gear as he snapped Thorn into place. Running over to Pyro's room, he opened up the door after knocking, "Hey, Pyro! Get up! We need to get moving!" He looked around the room as he noticed the red light coming in from his windows. The one from before was coming from the common room, but either way he was glad that they were implemented, otherwise he would have been deep in his sleep through this commotion. "Vale's under attack by Grimm, we need to head over there, now!"

Phoenix walked out of Pyro's room, allowing him to get ready. Pulling out his scroll, he sent a text out to Ophelia, not caring about what they agreed on. 'Hey! Where are you?' He almost was tempted to have stayed in Vale last night but he didn't want to drag Jade with him, but now he's glad he didn't. Nothing mattered, only the safety of Vale. It meant he would have to work with his father and make sure Ophelia is safe after all of this.

The moment the alert was sent out, Summer woke up from the loud sound and lights. Being a light sleep made her jumpy at sudden sounds at night. Reaching over to read the message, she didn't wait time to get out of her bed. Changing into her combat outfit in record time, she paused before exiting her room. She had received a text from Onyx last night about her leaving with Grey. She was so confused at the notion but she had other things to work through, that being her father and brother. Now, she looked through her new message from her. Quickly she sent one back, 'We are all okay here in Beacon, but we are being summoned to go help out in Vale. I need to go.'

"TITAN! VAL!" Summer called out to her team as she began to knock on their doors, "Get up, we need to head to the airships!" She has pulled away from her wake up calls but a group call from Phoenix which she picked up immediately. "Nix! Mom!" was all she could get out before Nix quickly jumped into questioning their mother. The tension was high so she just agreed to meet at the Airships and continued back to getting her team ready to do. Everything that had happened to her and her team came to mind. The mission, her party, and now this. Everything seems so random and uncalled for, being a freshman and all. She shocks her head, clearing her mind, as she made final calls and heading out to the airships with her team.

Reinheart Torchwick & ?????Grey looked at his flushed baby brother up and down and his eyes narrowed. Unmistakeable to the glare that Grey usually carried for his brother, he spoke in the usual cold unfriendly tone. "I acquired some information that caused me to delay the trip." He stepped forward towards Ren and looked the boy straight in the eyes. "Now. Where is Ophelia Shayama." Grey's steel grey eyes flashed with a cruelty that he only held for the criminals he interrogated. The floor shook again as if to emphasise the severity of Grey's demand.

Ren looked at Grey and flinched for a moment as he saw the uncanny actions of the imposter. Looking from Cirrus to a point past him the reluctance on his face evident, but ended in defeat. His past never seemed to stop consuming the two of them. Closing his eyes he sighed and looked down at the ground, "alright...She'd probably use the commotion to enter the headmaster's elevator." He cursed under his breath as he walked past the two of them and out the door.

Grey took a few steps and stopped, glancing to his brother. "Do what the warning tells you to do. Don't do anything stupid, Cirrus." His piercing eyes shot towards the boy and then he left through the door following Ren down the halls past the scattering students.

Grey Rook SchneeGrey's smile widened as her eyes fluttered open and she wearily hummed and moved off his shoulder. Stroking her cheek gently he nodded as she asked if they were almost here. Removing his hand in the instant before she jolted and her scroll set off the alert. Grey watched her take out her scroll and read the warning, leaning in and reading it himself as she showed it to him. His brow furrowed at the notice and fell even further as Onyx said they should return. "No. We will be able to do more here in Atlas." Grey said as he quickly got up and snapped for an attendant. A stewardess came in and Grey gave her some very stern words. Quickly she nodded and returned to the front of the plane.

Grey turned around back to Onyx and looked at her his face serious, "we're going to meet a leader of the Atlas army. I've already arranged a meeting with him." He walked over to her and leaned in closer his face and voice softened. "The best thing we can do for those in Vale is to send military support and create a safe camp for the refugees. Airships can only get so far, especially in a emergency." Extending his hand he looked at her, "ready to go?"

Croc woke up and fell out of his bed after jump from surprise from the alarms. "What the hell is going?!" Croc yelled before checking his scroll. Croc looked at his scroll and quickly woke up the rest of way as he released how dire current scenario was. Croc quickly got dressed and rushed out to the main room...

Bruno also hurried up as the alarms went off and checked his scroll. He frozed as he saw the message and remembered what happened during the there mission in town. After a momment to collect himself Bruno got his clothes on and rushed out to main room to check on the rest of his team.

"I'm out, I'm out... Wait why is your brother here?" Croc said looking around the room and then finally to Grey. "Well who cares we need..." Croc was saying before the ground started shaking. "What was that?" Croc asked concerned...

Then Grey and Ren had a strange moment. "...What just happened?!" Croc said confused. "We need to get some answers here. Right?" Croc said looking to Bruno and Cirrus. Bruno nodded. After Cirrus agree or disagreed Croc and Bruno went off after Ren and Grey(?) wanting answers.

Pyro rolled jumped out of his head and onto the floor as soon as the alarms went off. Pyro hit his head on floor as he landed. Pyro rubbed his head as look to his scroll that landed next to him. Pyro had a look at it quick as he saw the alert. After reading the message Pyro Phoenix opened the door to the his room. "I'm up and I'll be right out!" Pyro said to phoenix as he got off floor and grabbed his regular clothes. After getting dressed Pyro headed to main room. "Okay lets get going guys. We don't have a moment to lose" Pyro said to his team once everyone was on the commons room and then began leading them to airships, or at least he tried to.

After hearing the alarms Val quickly got out of her bed and grabbed her scroll to see the message. Val rushed to get proper clothes on after reading the message."Don't worry I'm up" Val said responding to Summer as she exited her room. Val followed Summer to the airships. As she did so she typed a message on her scroll and sent it off to Croc hoping he was okay. "Where's Onyx? Is she okay?" Val asked Summer as they headed to the airships. Val started to get message from her parents asking if she was okay and what was happening. Val only sent a message saying she was fine. She decide she would explain things later to them... And maybe she'll get to tell them in person as well.

Onyx didn't know what to do. She wanted to go back and help, but she felt Grey may have been right. What was one girl going to do compared to an army, huntress or otherwise. "Ok..." She conceded, watching him go and talk to an attendant. In that time she had stood from her seat and grabbed her things, glaive slung over her shoulder as Grey was returning.

"Ok, yeah... An army of a thousand man will get more done that I will. Let's go meet the man." She said, turning back to fully face him. "Let's go see what we can get sent over." She said, sounding rather confident having negotiated on such a scale maybe once in her entire life.

Walking down the halls of a large house with a older style to it was older man with a few battle scares in atlas military uniform. Walking along side him was a large wolf with a few scares of it's own. This man was Charles Drake, a general of the Atlas military and next to him was his pet/guard dog of sorts, Fang. "Has Mr. Schee arrived yet?" Charles stated to a attended near by in ruff but calm voice.

"Yes Sir. He arrived at the docks not long ago. They'll be here soon, sir" the attended said saluting Charles.

"Good." Charles said simply continuing on his way with Fang right behind him. Charles exited the front door of his home. Charles walked down the steps as Grey and Onyx arrived. "Mr.Schee, welcome back to Atlas. It would be nice know how Beacon has treated you but from what I have been hearing, we are short on time." Charles said looking from Grey to Onyx. "I don't believe we've met child. Who might you be?" Charles asked as Fang began sniffing Onyx.

Nodding curtly to his team leader Culpeo went to check on Sage only to find him already moving about gearing up and Skyler quickly appeared doing the same, thankfully they all seemed to have gotten their act together more quickly than he had expected. "Alright then let's get moving." Following the rest of his team his thoughts turned to his father, while he wasn't officially a Huntsman he doubted that he would just sit on the sidelines but if he got in trouble Culpeo worried that he was on his own or that some may deliberately leave him in harm's way.

Taken aback by Grey's unexpected harshness towards Ren it took Cirrus a moment to react to what his brother said. "Wait what has Ophelia got to do with anything? Ren where are you going?!" He called out to the two of them as they left heading away from the evacuation route.

Meeting the eyes of his remaining teammates he nodded thankfully as Croc proposed that they follow Ren and Grey. "I wasn't going to ask you two to come but...thanks." He said smiling a little before sobering and glancing at Bruno. "Have you got your weapon handy?" Like Cirrus himself Croc hadn't let his more compact weapon out of arms reach for months though Bruno's was much harder to carry around subtly and while it wasn't explicitly forbidden wandering around fully armed without reason wasn't encouraged at Beacon.

As the trio left the dorm and tried to track their quarry through the crowd of students Cirrus picked up Sage's message and quickly sent one back in return. Not heading to airship yet. Got Ren problem. Don't wait for me, stay safe.

Cerise was in the middle of another nightmare when the bright red light and alarm woke him out of the dream. In a cold sweat, he took a moment to collect himself before he glanced at his scroll. The message made him go pale as his blood drained from his face. Not caring what he threw on, he quickly got changed and took his weapon out with him. "Everyone! Ashe! Tsana! Ebony! Are you guys up!?" He began to knock on their doors, trying to get them to wake up or answer him.

While he waited for his team he made a call to his mother, Gwen. He didn't know if she had gone into Vale to see Autumn or if she decided to head back home. When the call went in he quickly spoke out, "Mom! Are you still in Vale?" She quickly told him that she heard what was going on but that she was in an airship heading home. "Good, keep going home. We'll keep things under control and when things are okay, I'll call you," Cerise told Gwen. When she tried to argue with him, he quickly told her he had to go and hung up. He rather has her as far away as he could. He had lost his father, the last thing he wants if to losing his mother as well. Then he would be truly alone.

Bora had gotten up in the middle of the night to get water when hell broke loose. She almost dropped the cup of water as the lights and alarm scared her so much. "What is happening?" she thought out loud. Quickly, she dashed over to her room where her scroll was going crazy. Seeing the emergency message, she took a moment to collect herself. Her parents were in danger. Having that thought fuel her, she quickly changed out of her clothes and began to call out to her team. "Cherry! Ophelia! Slate!?" she called out as she began to knock on their doors desperately. She heard responces from both Cherry and Slate, but Ophelia was silent.

Deciding she needed to check in on her partner she opened up the door to her room. "Ophelia!? Are you here?" she asked as she allowed her eyes to adjust to the light in the room. It was empty. The bed was messy as if she had actually gone to bed, but between then and now, she left. Rushing over to the bathroom, making sure she was around before making the assumption on where she might have gone. She was new to the team, but she didn't want for them to fall into harm when she could help. Rushing out of her room she called out, "Ophelia is gone!"

Larimar and Sapphire Sharp were enjoying each other's company as they slept blissfully. Their slumber was cut short as soon as the school went on alert. Not asking questions they both jumped out of the bed, getting dressed quickly, heading out to the Quad to see what was going one. Plenty of the Hunstmen that came to see their children were already up and about as they headed to the airships. Larimar looked over his shoulder when he noticed Cornelia and Robin coming out of the staff dormitory as well. "What the hell is going on?" Robin asked his team. "Vale is under attack," they all turned to Shamrock who looked like he was up late once again, working on research, "Pine is guiding the students to the airships, he wants us to join the huntsmen to defend it."

Larimar looked over to his family and then back at Shamrock, "Alright. Then let's get to the Airships." Shamrock nodded and followed behind the Sharps and Auburns. They all kept an eye out for their children but knew they would follow soon behind them so they just kept guiding the students as they ran over to Airships. Once there they covered the area, making sure to keep the students under control as they followed the other huntsmen into the airships. Auburn looked over at Robin and Sapphire and ordered, "You guys go on ahead, make sure to scope out what is happening." The twins nodded and dashed over to the left, getting out of sight before they made their way to Vale.

Ruby couldn't help walk out on her own after knowing Nix came back safely from Vale. Of course, she had crushed on the couch in Summer's Dorm, not wanting to bother her. In the middle of the night, she decided to head to the roof. She was enjoying the fresh air as she looked up at the moon. It was strange how time had passed since she was last at Beacon as a student. It fueled her with happiness and sadness from all that she went through here. The moment left her as the school alarm went off, causing the school to be bathed in red light, waking everyone up from their slumber.

She entered the building once more as she headed down to the first floor where she knew her children were located. As she did, she tried not to bump into the other students as she looked desperately for the twins. Before she could notice either of them, she noticed Oscar. "Oscar! Over here! Have you seen the kids?" she called out to the taller man. As soon as she asked that she received a call from Nix, which she quickly answered. "Grimm in Vale, there isn't much time to explain why it's happening but just get to the airships," she replied before hanging up.
