Your Pov. 

Todays the weekend, and I have a plan for Iris. I'm going to hang out with her in the city of Vale, while Zheng and Wei try to get along together. Iris have been cold me after our conversation, but I'm still determined. Her path that she's going is a dark one. Killing others for money because she was born into it, is not good at all. Plus, she may kill one of us if one person just pays her. Thre's one time I been almost killed by an assassin. But I never knew why and my adopted father sent him away with Atlas, I never knew what happen to him. 

First things first, I must know her past before I could try to help her. There's always roots to the problem. 

Anyways, I and my team are in the streets of Vale. 

"So what are we doing again?" Zheng asked. 

"Well, Zheng. Where going to split into two, and just hang out for team exercise," I explained. 

"Great..." Zheng groaned. 

"Interesting idea (Y/n)," Wei spoke up. "So who's going with who?" She asked. 

I turned to her, "I'm with Iris and you're with Zheng." 

Zheng groaned once more, "Come on! Why her?" She complained. 

"I just want you to get along with her," I told her. 

Zheng crosses her arms and sighs, "Fine, I'll hang out with... Wei..." 

"Good, come on Iris," I said grabbing her arm and dragged her away from Wei and Zheng. 

Zheng Pov. 

I watched (Y/n) dragged Iris with her, leaving me with Wei. 

"So anything on your mind?" She asked. 

"No, not really," I told her, with my arms still crossed

"Well, I want to show you some stuff. Follow me," Wei gestured with her head. 

________________________________________________________________________________

Iris Pov. 

"Where you bring me?" I asked walking along beside her. 

"To an Ice cream store that I go to time to time," She told her.

"Why are you taking me there?" 

"I like ice cream," She answered.

She's wise like her adopted father but innocent and acts like a child. A combination that I never have seen before. She's interesting yet mysterious at the same time. There are many questions I have for her, and she probably does for me too. Soon that will be answered, maybe today.

We walked for a few more minutes until we stopped at an ice cream store near the docs. We then entered and was greeted by the owner of the ice cream store, "Ah, (Y/n). It's been a while." 

"Hey, John. How's everything?" She asked. 

"It's going great," He then notices me. "And who's your friend?" He asked. 

"Oh, this is Iris. My teammate from Beacon."

"Oh yeah, hows Beacon so far?" He asked her. 

"Not so much, and how did you know?" 

"The whole city of Vale have known you've joined Beacon ever since your Initiation," He told her. 

"Great..." (Y/n) sighed. 

"I know, you don't like being noticed by people. How about I give you ice cream on the house, hows that sound?" He said trying to brighten her mood. 

"Really?" (Y/n) said happily, as her tail wiggles. 

"Of course, for you and your friend. So, what would you like you two?" He asked us. 

"Oh, I can have Neapolitan," She said pointing towards the white, brown and pink ice cream. "How about you, Iris?" She asked me. 

"I'll just have Vanilla," I told John. 

"Alight, coming right up!" He said. As the man started to scoop up the ice cream. I notice the same girl yesterday, that was working with the target.

She was looking out the window, licking the same type of ice cream that (Y/n) had ordered. I looked away, not wanting to look suspicious around her. 

"Here, your ice cream girls," He said handing both ice cream. (Y/n) grabbed both of them and then hands me mines. 

"Let's take a seat," (Y/n) said sitting on the table near the girl. 

I sat right beside (Y/n), with the girl behind my back. 

"So, Iris. May I asked you some questions... if it's fine of course," she asked me. 

"Go ahead," I told her. 

"So... do you have a family?" She asked. 

"No... their dead," I said without hesitation. 

"O-oh... I'm... sorry about... your lose..." She said sadly. 

"It's fine..." I said while licking my ice cream. 

"Is there something else you rather do in life?" 

"No... I'm fine where I am..." 

"Are you sure? There's so much more-" 

"I'm fine, (Y/n)" I cut here off. "It's my life, not yours..."

*With Zheng And Wei* 

Third Pov. Pov. 

Wei and Zheng were now infront of a store called Royal Nights Armour and Weapons. 

"You bring me to your stores?" Zheng asked her clearly annoyed. 

"You like weapons right? So might as well bring you to a weapons store," Wei told her. 

"Sure... whatever..." Zheng said.

The store was rather large, then the ones around Vale. It had two flours and was four times bigger than then regular stores around the area. On display on the windows were a bunch of manikins with weapons and amour on them. 

They then entered the store and was treated by two guards in armour. 

"Halt, who are you and what is that you required?" The man the right said in a threatening tone. 

Wei then cleared her throat before she speaks, "I'm am Wei Raim, the heir of the Royal Nights. And this is my friend Zheng." 

"Wait you're the Leader daughter?" The one one the left asked. 

"Yes, I am," She said. 

They then kneel down on one knee, with their fist agist their chest where the heart is located, "Sorry, for our aggressive nature, Ms. Raim," They both apologize to her. 

"No worries, why is that?" She asked them.

"Last night, a bunch of thugs tried to rob the store. But they have failed, thanks to us and others," The one on the right said. 

"What were they robbing us for? Money, guns, amour?"

"No, just dust, Ms." The left one said. 

"Dust? Why are they robbing dust? It's really common and easy to buy. Why would they rob dust?" She asked them

"We do not know, the robbers hadn't answered ever since we sent them to our prison," The Right one told her. 

Wei sighed, "Alright then. Anyways, I'll like to show Zheng around." 

"Yes, of course. Take all the time you need," The left ones said as they both went back to their positions. 

Zheng then walked up beside her, "Damn, you people tight security," said impressed. 

"Of course, many people have tried to rob our stores for the money we make here. And our weapons and amour, that rivals to Atlas," Wei told her. 

"So, what would you like to show me?" Zheng asked. 

"Oh, this way," Wei said as they went into an aisle. 

________________________________________________________________________________

Third Pov. 

"I have seen many things (Y/n). The emotions I had left, is now gone. I don't need any of them, they're only slow me down. And stops me of what I want to do..."

"B-but... emotions are an important part to humans and Faunus alike, Iris. They help you to show what's wrong or right," (Y/n) said trying her best to make her see the world different 

"In my world... there's no right or wrong. Just do what you need to do," Iris told her. Before, (Y/n) could respond. Iris's phone rang, "I'll be back," she said, as she went into the bathroom. 

(Y/n) sighed in sadness. So far she has nothing. (Y/n) asked her many questions, which always lead to a dead end. Ozpin made it look so easy, she knew it will be a struggle. 

Iris's past she got so far, is that she had a family. Her family is now gone, and they made her into a killer. From there, she got into some work as a bodyguard, when she was 10 years old after taking down 10 thugs by herself. Then someone paid her more, to kill her boss. Which she did, then she killed him after scamming her. After that, people had heard of her deads. And when Atlas heard about her, they wanted to hire her as their personal assassin. 

Then she's nowhere, being paid by them, and doing some side jobs. 

(Y/n) then felt someone tap her shoulder. She looks behind her and sees the girl who Iris had eyed when she first lays eyes on. (Y/n) then saw her pulled out a scroll and types something.

"You okay?" The girl typed on her scroll showing it to (Y/n). 

"I-I'm... fine... are you mute?" She asked. 

The girl nodded. 

"Oh, that's... must be hard..." 

The girl nodded again. 

"So... what's your name?" (Y/n) asked. 

"I'm Neo, and you?" The girl typed. 

"Nice to meet... you, I'm (Y/n)."

"Nice to meet you too, (Y/n)."

"So... what do you do around here?" I asked her shyly. 

"Helping my friend around with stuff, how about you?" Neo asked (She did not speak, she will always use her Scroll to type out what she's saying)

"I'm an s-student from Beacon, my adopted farther force me..."

"Your farther is Oz right?" She asked. 

"Yeah," I nodded. "He is, why?" 

"Just wondering."

"Oh... okay..." 

"I need to go to the washroom, cya," The girl typed before she left. 

While Neo and (Y/n) were talking, Iris enters the bathroom and pulled out her special scroll, made by Atlas. A holographic image pops up from her scroll showing her new target. It was Neo, the girl who sat at the other table. Atlas is paying top dollar, to get rid of her now. She didn't know why they wanted to kill her right now, but she won't think about it. Right now, she must die.

Before she can turn the scroll off. Neo walked into the bathroom and saw the holographic image on her phone. Neo stood there with shock and fear, until Iris spoke, "Just business."  

Before Neo could run, Iris grabbed her on the neck of her clothing and threw her agaist the hand dryer. The dryer broke into pieces as Neo slowly tumbles. Iris caught her by the throat and slamming her agaist the ground, pinning her at the same time

Neo struggled, trying to get out of Iris's grasp. Iris gripped got tighter, almost choking her, as she sat on top of her, taking a knife out of her pocket. Neo's eyes were in fear, begging Iris to spare her life. But all she saw was lifeless eyes, as Iris lifted the knife into the air. 

"I'll be quick... may you rest in peace..."

Third Pov. 

Wei brand Zheng over to a wall with weapons on display, to knives that can change into pistol to rifles changing into some sort of axe or scythe.

"So... all these things, is what you wanted to show me?" Zheng asked. 

"Nope," Wei said as she puts her hand on the wall. She then pushed a hidden bottom on the wall, as a whole display case of weapons moved out of the way and shows a hidden chamber. 

"It's down here," She said walking over to the hidden entrance. 

"It better not be a dungeon," Zheng threaten her. 

"It's not, you can trust me," Wei said as she entered into the dark chamber. Zheng hesitated, but followed down the stairs, with her hands ready to grab her axes when things go south. 

The walls looked old. The bricks are rough, like old medieval dungeons. When they touch the ground, Zheng notices that this place leads the long hallway. With lamps lighting the way. At then there's a door being guarded by a man in knightly amour. 

The guard had a huge sword, with the tip stab into the ground with the guard holding it by the handle. 

Wei and Zheng walked up to guard. Then he spoke, "Ms. Raim, it's an honour to have you here."

"Thank kind sir, but you can drop the formality," Wei told him.  

"Yes, Wei," The guard then notice Zheng. "Zheng Jiang, the  Bandit Queen," The guard said.

"Yes, I am," Zheng said proudly. 

"Wei, why would you trust this girl. She had raided many of our stores and shipping," The guard told Wei. 

"Reason, now let me and my friend in," Wei demanded.

"We're not friends..." Zheng growled at Wei. 

"As you wish," The guard said moving out of the way.  

"Thank you," Wei said, walking into the room with Zheng following behind her. 

As they entered the room. The door behind them closed shut, leaving only Zheng and Wei inside. Zheng looked around and see many creates, some big and some small. Zheng was still suspicious of Wei, not wanting to get backstabbed. 

But something caught her eye at the end of the room. It was a display case, with axes the same as hers, but the blade was not made out of metal like hers. It was made out of jade, and there was no doubt she had in her mind that those axes, where her mothers. 

"I see that the thing I wanted to show you caught your eye," Wei said as she sat on top of one of the small creates. Zheng did not say anything, ignoring Wei completely. She slowly walked up to the axes, as her hand slowly grazed the glass, while gazing into the jade blade. 

"It looks exactly like your axe but made with an unknown material. I wanted to see if it yours," Wei told her. But Zheng was too focused on the jade axes.  

*Flashback* 

Third Pov. 

In an unknown place that was surrounded by mountains, an unknown plague spread across a small village. 

In a small house, a young teen at the age of 13. Watch from the window was watching soldiers caring away their food. As their people starve and die by disease. Forcing them to work with little food. 

Her mother was in the same room as her. Sharpening her jade axes she stole from a warlord from a young age. 

The mother, notices her daughter staring at out the window with a sad expression. 

"Is something wrong?" She asked her daughter, catching her intention. 

"N-no..." She lied. 

Her mother sighed, "Don't worry, we've had enough food to last for a week."

"Y-yeah... but what about the other people like us? They probably don't have food like us," She told her mother. 

"Most likely," She said sadly. 

"W-why... does the Emperor let us die? Why does the Han dynasty let this happen? Why does he starve us! Why the nobles get to live happily, with food and money, and we peasants get to starve with nothing! We won't be remembered for anything, we're peasants! Just Peasants! I want us to be remembered!" She said slowly getting angrier and angrier with every second. With her thoughts run wilded like wolves.  

"Zheng!" Her mother shouted, stopping her from speaking more. "I know for the past few years it's been a struggle for us peasants."

She then looked over to her, "Being the Queen of the Bandits is long gone for me since I have you, Zheng," She smiled at her. 

"Really?" Zheng asked with a small smile.

"Yes, your my prized possession, even these Jade axes doesn't have the value like you," Her mother said kissing her on the forehead. She then walked over to her jade axes and picked up a yellow turban beside them. 

"The Hans dynasty will fall, Zheng. The heavens have abandoned them, they're been corrupted within. And soon the yellow sky will rise," Her mother said as she wrapped a yellow turban around her head. 

"M-mother... a-are... you going to leave me?" Zheng asked her, remembering what happened to her father when he left long ago. 

"Yes... I am... but I promise I will return," She said as she walked up to Zheng. 

"Promise?" She asked with sadness in her voice. 

"I... I promise," Her mother said pulling into a hug. "Now... I want to go to your friend Lu Zheng, okay?" 

"Okay..."

"Goodbye... my daughter..."

*Flashback ends*

Zheng and Wei Pov. 

A single tear slowly fell from Zheng's eye. Zheng didn't notice until Wei pointed out, "Um... are you crying?"  

Zheng flitch, as her memories slowly fade away from her mind. "N-no..." She said wiping the tear away. "L-let just gets back to Beacon," Zheng growled as she turned away from the jade axes. 

"But... are these yours? Some of our workers found them, and it looks like your axes," Wei told her. 

"Just... shut it..." Zheng said as she left the room. 

Wei sighed as she looked back at the jade axes, "She must have remembered something that she rather not to remember," Wei told herself.

Third Pov. 

Neo struggled with her hands griped agaist Iris's wrist, trying to push her away from the knife away that was aimed between her eyes. Iris with her left hand around her neck squeezed harder at the point where Neo can barely breathe. 

Neo, have no change to escape or even used her semblance. It was hopeless for her until someone spoke up behind them. 

"Iris?!" (Y/n) shouted behind them. Iris looked back at her and saw her face, with fear. 

While Iris was distracted, Neo took her chance and pushed Iris off of her. Iris was pushed to the side by Neo as she stood up, and ran towards the door. 

Iris growled as she threw her knife pass (Y/n) and at Neo, but as soon it connects. Neo shattered into glass.   

Iris sighed, knowing that Neo activated her semblance to escaped her grasp. (Y/n) then walked up to Iris and lend a hand helping her up. 

"Iris... give me your scroll," (Y/n) demanded. 

Iris was confused but handed her scroll anyways. As she did, (Y/n) broker the scroll in two and threw it away into the trash can. 

Iris was shocked by her action, "Why would-"

"No," (Y/n) cut her off. "No more missions and no more killing, I'll get you a scroll not made by Atlas, okay?" 

"A-alright..."

Ozpin Pov. 

The sun was setting, as I sat at my desk doing paperwork. Then when I heard someone knocked on my door, "Come in!" 

The person who knocked walked into my room, which was Glynda. 

"Glynda, I thought you're going out with your date?" 

"I was, but let's say... he's not for me at the start," She told me. 

"Ah, I understand," I said. "Now, what do you need?" I asked. 

"I need to talk about (Y/n)," She said. 

"What about my daughter?" I asked her. 

"(Y/n) is avoiding her teaching's in my class," Glynda explained. 

"She is?" 

"Yes, she's been avoiding sparing sessions and one on one fights. While she does fight with her team, but they do most of the fighting while she gives out orders."

"I see... I'll talk to her tomorrow Glynda." 

"Alright, but she must fight to able to defend others and herself," She said turning back around and walked towards the door. 

Before she left I spoke up, "How about Grimms? Does she fight them as well?" I asked 

"Well, no," Glynda said turning back around facing me. "I understand why she does not fight, so I don't blame her for it."

I nodded, "Thank you." 

She nods before she left my office, as I took a sip of coffee.

Cinder Pov. 

I followed two people in armour up some stairs at a mountain. The snowfall slowly onto the ground, as the area we're in is surrounded by mountains. Bellow was forested, full of villages. While on the side of the mountains had fortresses, with many guards roaming the area.

I looked up at the two people in amour getting a good look at them. 

From what I heard, they're an elite Guard for this unknown kingdom or faction. But, I have seen what the land they owned. It's small but they powerful, they could even be a rival to Atlas military. 

As we made it up to the last few steps I saw two people waiting for me. 

One on the right is a man with white hair and beautiful eyes. And the one on the left, with a spear and strange amour and feathers on his head.

"So..." The man on the right spoke, as the two escorts moved beside them. "You must be Cinder, that Salem sent as the messenger." 

"Yes, I am... and you must be?" 

"I'm (B/n) [Your Brother name]," He greeted. 

"And this is my friend, Lu Bu."

"And we're the Grand Order."
