(Readers POV)

I looked around at everyone. Being in this bullhead is getting annoying. I forgot just how long I've been in these restraints.

(Y/N): How much longer is this going to take?

I started to tap my foot on the floor.

(Y/N): Those five clowns. If they didn't catch me off guard, I would beat them all.

Weiss: I don't think so. Those were Ironwood's Ace Operatives.

(Y/N): Ace Operatives?

Weiss: Yes. They are the elite of elite in the military.

(Y/N): ...Still couldn't beat us though. They had to restrain us.

I heard Ruby start to get excited. I looked over and she's staring at the window.

Ruby: It's gorgeous up here!

I took a glance out the window and saw Atlas. I looked at Yang. She noticed me staring at her.

Yang: See something you like?~

I quickly looked to the side. I heard Yang giggle.

Yang: I'll take that as a yes.

I looked out the window and noticed we aren't at any police station.

(Y/N): Where are we?

Qrow: It's... Atlas Academy.

The ship landed and the doors opened. We all stepped out of the ship and I looked around.

(Y/N): Why are we at Atlas Academy?

Ruby: I guess we will be seeing the General. For better or worse.

We are all escorted into Atlas Academy by a few guards. We all went into an elevator. One of the guards pushed a button, making the elevator go up.

Ren: So, what do we do?

Ruby: I don't know yet. But we should be carful with what we say.

One of the guards looked back at us.

(Y/N): What are you looking at?

The guard looked back forward. I leaned towards Ruby.

(Y/N): We'll follow your lead, Ruby.

I said quietly to her. She smiled at me. The elevator stopped and the door opened. We walked out the elevator and down a hall. While walking, I saw Ironwood walk out a room.

Ironwood: I swear if I have to sit through another council meeting like that...

Penny and Winter are walking with him. Penny looked over at us and got excited.

Penny: You're here!

Ironwood stopped and looked at us.

Weiss: Winter.

She looked over and gasped when she saw Weiss.

Nora: Anyone wanna give us a hand with these?

Winter looked at the guards.

Winter: You have ten seconds to take those off before I start hurting you.

The guards looked scared and they quickly took the restraints off. The guards walked away. I started to rub my wrists.

(Y/N): Finally.

Ironwood: Please, follow me.

We all agreed and we walked with Ironwood into his office. I noticed Yang looking at me and she's pouting. She held up her hand.

Yang: Massage my wrist.

I sighed and started to massage it. Yang smiled at me and thanked me by giving me a kiss on the cheek.

Ironwood: It is good to see you all.

I turned to look at Ironwood.

(Y/N): Why arrest us?

Ironwood: I sincerely regret how you were treated by my team.

He walked over to his desk and sat down.

Ironwood: When a rogue airship entered our airspace, it raised some... red flags. We assumed the ship was stolen.

Ruby: Stolen?

Ruby laughed a little.

Ruby: Yeah, it was stolen.

Winter: You stole it?!

(Y/N): It was stolen at first, but they let us take it.

Ironwood: It doesn't matter now.

He looked at us.

Ironwood: I have some serious plans and all of you seem right for the job.

He pushed a button and a hologram display appeared above his desk. I see that it's the Colosseum that's used for the Vytal Festival. I started to get memories of what happened that day. I shook my head.

Jaune: That's the Amity Colosseum.

Penny: Isn't it great? We're going to build a new tower on top of the Amity Colosseum to re-establish global communications!

Winter: Our scientists believe that if we launch the new tower into the atmosphere, we can make a sort of satellite. It might be able to keep global communication even if another tower fell.

Ruby: That is great. Tell us how we can help.

Ironwood: Good. We are going to need all the help we can get. But first, I think we need to get your weapons up to our standards.

I looked at my broken gauntlet on my right arm. I looked at Yang.

(Y/N): Don't forget to get Yang a new arm.

Ironwood: We'll make sure she'll get it as soon as possible.

Yang: Yeah!

Penny: I can show you all around! Follow me!

Penny quickly went out the room. We all followed her.

(Time Skip)

Penny has been showing us around for awhile now.

Penny: That way is the cafeteria. That way is the training room. Oh, and over there are the class rooms.

Just how big is this place? I heard Ruby let out a yawn.

Ruby: That's nice and all Penny, but where are we staying?

Penny: I'll show you all your dorms!

(Y/N): So it's going to be like Beacon again.

Penny: I'm just as excited as you are (Y/N)!

(Y/N): I wasn't really excited.

We all followed Penny. She stopped in front of a door.

Penny: This is where team RWBY will be staying.

Finally. I walked into the room and looked around.

(Y/N): This place looks nice. I can get used to this.

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang walked in.

Ruby: We can get some rest.

(Y/N): I get the first shower!

Weiss: What?! No! I am!

(Y/N): Like hell you are! I'm always the last one to use it and you three use all the hot water!

Weiss: Maybe if you weren't so slow to get up in the morning, then you wouldn't have that problem!

(Y/N): Maybe if you didn't take an hour long shower, then this problem wouldn't exist!

Yang walked up to me and lead me to a corner of the room.

(Y/N): What are you doing?

Yang: If you're so worried about hot water, then we can shower together if you like.~

I felt my face heat up.

(Y/N): Not when Ruby and Weiss are still here.

Yang: So if they aren't here, we can?

(Y/N): Sure.

Ruby: What are you two talking about?

Yang looked at Ruby and Weiss.

Yang: Can you two stay with Jaune, Ren, and Nora for a bit?

Weiss: No. I have a shower to take.

She went up to a door and opened it, revealing a bathroom. I quickly rushed inside and closed the door, locking it.

(Yang's POV)

Weiss: Hey! You get out here!

(Y/N): ...No!

I heard him shout through the door. I heard the water from the shower turn on.

Ruby: Well... What can we do to pass the time?

Yang: We can play some games while we wait.

Weiss: And you beat me every time? No thanks.

After some time, I heard the shower stop. The bathroom door opened and a bunch of steam came out.

(Y/N): Now that's a shower.

He stepped out and he only has a towel around his waist.

Weiss: Get some clothes on!

Yang: I'm not complaining.~

(Y/N): There's no clean clothes in there, Weiss.

Weiss tried to push (Y/N) back into the bathroom.

(Y/N): Hey! Stop it!

(Y/N) is about to fall from Weiss's pushing. Me and Ruby grabbed onto his arms to keep him from falling.

(Y/N): Stop! The towel is about to come off!

We heard the door open. We all stopped and turned to look. We saw Winter standing there, holding a pile of clothes in her arms. Her face turned red.

Winter: I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt! I didn't know you four did those kind of "team exercises"!

She put the clothes on a nearby table and rushed out the room and closed the door.

Weiss: It's not what it looks like! Winter!

Weiss got some of the clothes and gave them to (Y/N). Weiss pushed (Y/N) in the bathroom and slammed the door.

Weiss: There! There is your clothes!

I wasn't expecting today to be this crazy.
