Chapter 14

(Blake's POV)

Me, Ruby, Weiss, and Yang started to get ready for tonight.

Blake: I thought that class would never end.

Ruby: Alright, guys, today's the day! The investigation begins!

Ruby jumped off her hanging bed.

Weiss: I'm glad to see we're taking this so seriously.

Yang: Hey, we've got a plan! That's... moderately serious.

Ruby: Right! Everyone remember their roles?

Weiss: You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem.

Blake: The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. Before I leave, I'll go get (Y/N) and hopefully we can get in. We can see what they're planning.

Yang: I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale. Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard...

Ruby: Great! We'll meet up tonight near Yang to go over what we found.

Ruby raised her fist into the air.

Ruby: Let's do this!

Ruby rushed out the room.

Weiss: Hey! Don't leave me behind!

Weiss ran out the room to catch up with Ruby. I saw Yang looking at me.

Yang: Good luck Blake.

Blake: Thanks. Good luck.

Yang nodded and walked out the room. Time to get (Y/N). I walked out my dorm and made my way to his. After some walking, I made it to (Y/N)'s dorm. I knocked on the door.

(Y/N): Hold on!

I heard him from the other side of the door. I heard some shuffling around. The door opened, revealing a sweaty (Y/N).

Blake: What happened to you?

(Y/N) got a water bottle. He held a finger up to me, signaling me to wait a second, and started to chug the water. He quickly finished the bottle and let out a huge sigh.

(Y/N): Sorry. Ozpin's training is hardcore. I don't know how an old man can fight for that long.

Blake: I hope you didn't forget about our plan.

(Y/N): Plan...?

I glared at him. (Y/N) gained a look of realization.

(Y/N): That's today?!

Blake: Yes. We have to go to a White Fang gathering.

(Y/N): Alright. Let's get this over with.

(Time Skip)

Me and (Y/N) are walking towards a warehouse. We saw some Faunus walk into it.

Blake: This is it.

(Y/N): Do you think we will get recognized?

Blake: The chances of that low. We should be fine.

(Y/N): Should be.

(Y/N) grew a pair of cat ears on his head. Me and him walked into the warehouse.

White Fang member: New recruits, keep to the right!

We got handed some Grimm masks and started to walk down a hallway.

(Y/N): So why do the White Fang where masks?

Blake: The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters.

(Y/N): Grimm... That's dark.

Blake: So was the guy who started it.

I put my mask on. (Y/N) looked at me and smiled.

(Y/N): You look cute with that on.

I hit him on the shoulder.

(Y/N): Ok ok. I was just joking. Wait, I didn't mean it like that!

(Y/N) put his mask on and looked away from me. I just smiled to myself. We walked into a room with a lot of Faunus. Me and (Y/N) walked into the crowd. We looked at the stage and a White Fang member walked onto it.

White Fang member: Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours! I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for for so long!

Roman walked on stage. Of course Roman would be here. He smiled and waved. The Faunus in the room started to get mad.

Roman: Thank you, thank you! Please hold your applause!

Faunus: What's a human doing here?!

Roman: I'm glad you asked, "Deerie"! Now, I'll be the first to admit, humans... are the worst.

He pointed to himself.

Roman: Case in point. So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed!

(Y/N): Did he really just call himself the worst?

(Y/N) whispered to me. I put my attention back to Roman.

Roman: But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms!

I looked around the crowd and the Faunus started to agree with him.

Roman: Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life!

Me and (Y/N) looked at each other. We both can tell that this isn't going to end well.

Roman: And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room.

Roman snapped his fingers. The curtain behind him fell, revealing a Paladin mech.

(Y/N): That's something I didn't know he could get...

Blake: How did he get that?

Roman: As some of you may have heard, this right here...

He walked up to it and tapped on it.

Roman: ...Is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my "employer", we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, "hit the shelves". Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?

The crowd of Faunus started to cheer. Roman actually convinced all these Faunus.

(Y/N): We should get away from here.

Blake: I know.

(Y/N): Then what should we do?!

Blake: I'm thinking...

I looked around, thinking about what to do next. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked back and (Y/N) is freaking out a little.

Blake: What's wrong?

(Y/N): Roman sees us.

That's not good. I looked around some more and noticed a junction box on the wall.

Blake: He can't see in the dark.

I got out my weapon and shot the box, causing all the lights to go out.

Roman: Don't let them get away!

Blake: (Y/N)! The window!

Me and (Y/N) ran to the window and crashed through it. We started to run as fast as we could. I heard a loud crashing noise. I looked behind me and saw the Paladin chasing me and (Y/N).

(Y/N): Oh crap!

(Y/N) grew some wings on his back and started to fly. He caught up to me and picked me up. We flew high into the air.

(Y/N): We need some serious back up.

Blake: On it.
