"So where are you shipping us off to this time Ozpin?" Inshu asked, leaning on Kaen, everyone else waiting for the Headmasters response. Ozpin adjusted his glasses, then answered.
"Normally I would send you all to the base that's been mentioned by Ms. Rose, on your own, but..." He sat back down now, calm after his and Ironwoods arguement. "Team RWBY, as I'm sure the five of you have experienced, tend to do things...outside of their parameters. So, this time you are to shadow them. Make sure that they don't cause too much trouble." You all shared a look.
"Your going to send them to that base with us 'tagging along' aren't you?" You asked Ozpin, looking him dead in the eyes.
"Yes. If I send them on a formal mission to shadow a professional Huntsman who will be going to that region they will at least be in more capable hands than if they took it upon themselves to go. Even if they brought you five along to join them, it would still be too great a risk to take." Ozpin leaned forward now. "So this mission is going to be just as much yours as it is theirs." You turned to your teammates, who didn't seem to have a problem with the plan.
You turned back to Ozpin now. "When do we leave?"

"Oh fuck." Inshu stated before disolving into laughter as you approached the landing pad.
"What?" You asked your teammate, looking to the landing pad.
"Look who team RWBY has to shadow." He barely managed to speak, laughing the whole time. Everyone spotted team RWBY, who were currently being railed at by...Professor Oobleck.
You all shared a look, begininng to laugh as well.
"I mean. At least he wont leave them in suspense when he gives them orders." Rogue added, laughing as Inshu held on to him for balance. This comment sent another wave of laughter through the group.
Finally everyone began to calm down, the laughter dying out.
"Ah. As much as I loved that, we really need to get going guys." You told everyone, letting go of Kaen's shoulder and waiting for everyone else to recover. Once everyone was composed you walked to the landing pad again, team RWBY headed for the airship.
"Uh guys. Theres only one airship on the landing pad." Rogue pointed out, making you all realize you'd all have to deal with Oobleck. Inshu spoke, voicing everyone's collective opinion.
"Fuck."

You were stood behind Ruby, leaning against the wall while you were looking at the Professor as you all flew above the city.
You glanced around at everyone else. Rogue was standing next to Blake, predictably, Kaen and Reiji were standing along side the closed door on the right side of the airship, and Inshu was standing next to you, behind Yang. She was the first one to speak to break the tension.
"I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter." You all silently agreed as Oobleck replied.
"I admit I fancy myself more of an intellectual, but I can assure you, as a Huntsman, I've had my fair share of tussles." Ruby spoke up, scratching her head in confusion.
"Like the mushroom?" Blake leaned over, trying to correct her.
"Those are truffles." Ruby still scratched her head in confusion.
"Like the sprout?" Yang tried to correct Ruby now, leaning over as well.
"Those are Brussels." Oobleck comtinued on now with his fast talk.
"Besides, given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabblings in the archaeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw fit to assign me to this particular... assignment!" Weiss brought up the question you all had from that. "What does history have to do with this?"
Oobleck rounded on her quickly, rapidly chattering on. "Why, what a preposterous question, you silly girl! Why, history is the backbone of our very society! And the liver! Probably the kidneys, if I were to wager." You and Inshu shared an unamused look. You were both practically history incarnate, along with Reiji and Kaen. So Ooblecks value of history was lost on the four of you.
"And that means what for us?" Kaen asked the Professor.
"The southeast quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forests and deep caves, but it is also the location to one of the kingdom's greatest failures!" Ruby spoke up just as you and Kaen shared a look.
"Mountain Glenn." The three of you said this in unison. Yang spoke up again as something clicked in her head.
"That's right! It was an expansion of Vale... but in the end it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city." Oobleck adjusted his glasses and smiled.
"Precisely."

The airship came in over a spot of street amidst the ruined buildings and structures of the ruined area. It hovered right above the ground as everyone jumped out of the craft with their weapons drawn, except for Oobleck, who simply held his coffee canister, before the ship flew away from the destruction.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! You still may be students, but as of this moment, your first mission as Huntresses and Huntsman has begun! From this point forward, you need to do exactly as I say! Do you understand?" As your team traded looks with each other, you jumped as Oobleck now started to yell again.
"Ruby! I thought I told you to leave all of your bags back at school." Everyone now turned to her as she replied.
"But, uh, you hadn't told us to listen to you yet. So I didn't." Your team immediately looked anywhere but Oobleck, trying not to laugh as the professor muttered to himself.
"She's not wrong..." He quickly looked to her again. "Very well, Ruby; leave your bag here, we can pick it up upon our return." You noticed Ruby's suspicious reaction wondering just what she had hidden in there.
"But I, well uh-"
"Young lady, what in the world could you possibly have in that bag that could be so important to bring it with..." As Oobleck stopped talking for once, everyone looked to Ruby to see a dog sticking it's head out.
You realized you'd seen that same corgi in the Xiao Long-Rose house before coming to Beacon. Ruby had somehow brought Zwei with her to this expedition.
"Get back in the bag." Zwei merely barked in response to Ruby.
"We're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility, and you brought... a dog?" You all watched as Oobleck suddenly seemed to do a 180, suddenly zipping by Ruby, and grabbing Zwei.
"Genius! Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of sound, making them excellent companions for a hunt such as ours!" As Zwei barked happily in Ooblecks hands you looked to your team, who in turn looked to you.
"Just go with it." You whispered to your team, who were all watching Oobleck with varying degrees of regret. You now turned back to watch. just as Blake spoke up.
"So, what are your orders, Doctor?" Oobleck looked to Blake now, then replied in another long rant.
"Ah, yes, straight to the chase; I like it!" You watched as Oobleck suddenly let go of Zwei, who was suspended in the air for less than a second before dropping down, while Oobleck put his hands behind his back for a serious pose.
"As you've been informed, the southeast area has been marked as a recent hot spot for Grimm activity. Now, there are several possible explanations for this behavior, one of which being...Grimm." Everyone looked at each other, Ruby speaking up first.
"Uh, what?" You now noticed Oobleck looking past everyone, down the road. You looked that way and now saw what he was talking about.
"Grimm. A creature of Grimm approximately one hundred yards from us at this very moment." As everyone looked that way, you looked to Rogue, who didn't seem shocked. He looked back at you, shaking his head slowly.
As everyone went to draw their weapons you continued watching Rogue, who didnt bother to try and draw his swords. Oobleck now shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone, sans Rogue, looked to him, you included. "There are a number of reasons why Grimm will congregate in this particular area, the most likely of which will be their attraction to negativity: sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred. All qualities that are likely held by our hidden group harboring ill intent." You looked to Rogue, inching over to him and tapping his arm.
As Oobleck continued to explain to the girls and the rest of your team you asked him, "You already knew that didn't you." He slowly nodded, giving a pained look. Then simply pointed to the Beowulf down the street, who was now joined by its pack.
Oobleck now, surprisignly calmly, proclaimed, "And now they've seen us." Rogue sighed, face palming. You began to get the feeling he was over qualified for this conversation.
As everyone drew their weapons you pat him on the back. "You'll make it." He groaned in response.

"Heh. Piece of cake!" Ruby proclaimed, the Grimm all dissappearing as they laid dead.
"Do not celebrate yet, for I am certain this is the first bout of many. Shall we continue?" You shared a look with Rogue, who looked bored. Not that you could blame him for it.

You bit back every thought that crossed your mind as you returned your axe to your back. You'd just finished killing the latest batch of Grimm, and were now watching as Oobleck rooted through a plant as Grimm parts fell around him from the fight, circled by everyone as they looked at him.
As the newest batch of slain monster corpses started smoking, he happily cried out, "Excellent work, boys and girls! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any signs of criminal operations in this sector. Oh, well! Moving on!" You shared a glare with Inshu, the last person you expected to be as bothered as you were.
You all started to walk after the professor, Yang speaking up. "Hey, Doc, y'know, I was actually looking forward to seeing a "pro Huntsman" in action. Like, fighting, or at least, helping us fight?"
Oobleck talked over his shoulder as he replied, "Ah, but I am in action! Scouring the ruins of this once-great city for any signs of irregularity!" He now fully turned to the teams. "Not every mission is filled with daring and heroism. Sometimes it's just a heightened form of extermination!"
You noticed Yang's reluctant expression. "Remember, this is a job, and you all signed up for it. I do hope you understand that."
Yang replied again. "Well, yeah..." You noticed she seemed to be trying to sound more resolute with her answer. "O-Of course!"
"Hmm..."

After the last of the fighting for the day, you and your team stood with team RWBY, Ruby asking Oobleck a question. "Uh... Are we ready to keep going?" Oobleck gave another long winded response.
"Nope! I believe that will have to do for today. It's going to be dark soon." You watched as he threw his bag over to Yang, who made a sound when she caught it. "You six, set up camp in that building. Oh, and please do make sure there are no more of those... creatures. Your leaders and I are going to secure the perimeter. Come, Ruby, Y/N."
