Hey Everybody, InterestinAuthor343 here and seems like after my previous season of my story laster after more that 9 months, So, Here we are, the second volume of "Fairy Tail in Remnant 2", Enjoy.


Chapter 1: The gang's back!

A ship flies through the skies over Vale and down to the city streets vale. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" finished hanging the sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls. The short, green haired girl with tanned skin wearing a white outfit appears next to him, known as Emerald, she giggled at him.

"Excuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here." She lend him a hand to stand his feet. "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?"

The green-haired girl pulls out a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeeper looked over it and read.

"Hmm? Mm-hmm." The shopkeeper hummed as he nodded.

Emerald walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes a young boy with the same age as her, has silver hair and a dark blue outfit, known as Mercury Black, he stood on the corner a corner.

"I knew you were lost." He smiled upon her.

"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up." Emerald pulled out a wallet filled with Lien and waves on front across Mercury's face.

"That's not your money." Mercury stated as he shooed his head.

"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence." She tried to teased him, but..

"Mmmmm... no deal." He talked back.

"Fine." Emerald grunted as she takes the Lien and tosses the wallet to the ground, turns back and walk away.

"Whatever. You want me."

The two began to walk through the city of Vale, Mercury was in a bored mood and turned to Emerald

"So, how much farther?" He asked.

"A few blocks."

"Ugh..." He grunted. "This place is so dull."

"Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture..."

"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket." He smirked.

Emerald stops and turned to Mercury.

"That's every city." Emerald explained.

"Ooh, Emerald! Master thief!" Mercury began to play as an innocent victim as he teased. "Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!"

Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily. Then she walks away from him.

"Ugh..." Mercury groaned. "you're no fun today."

Minutes later, Emerald and Mercury stood on front of a book shop and enters, the entire shop is full of books. A humming tune can be heard from inside the door behind the counter. Mercury stops near the entrance and look at books while Emerald approaches the counter and rings a service bell.

"Be right there!" Said a voice.

Emerald looks back to her partner as the shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter.

"Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade," home to every book under the sun" Then he sets a huge stacks of books nearby the counter. "How may I..."

As he turns around, he gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them while Mercury held a book

"How may I help you?" The shop owner asked.

Although the book is open, Mercury is looking towards Tukson.

"Just browsing."

He shuts the book leaving a loud shut.

"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?" Emerald asks.

"Yes we do." Tukson smiled

"That's great." Emerald said in quite excitement.

"Would you... like a copy?"

"No, just wondering."

Mercury closes another book leaving another loud shut.

"Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?" She asked another.

"He's got it. Hardback too." Mercury pulled out a book.

"Ooh, options are nice." She added.

"Eh, no pictures." Mercury looked slightly disappointed as he closes the book with a loud shut. "Hey! Do you have any comics?"

"Near the front." Tukson pointed a shelf nearby the entrance.

"Oh, no, wait!" Emerald took another guest. "What... about... "Third Crusade"?"

The shopkeeper Tukson hesitates, visibly unnerved, he gulped.

"Um... I..."

Mercury and Emerald are shown to be eying him carefully.

"...don't believe we carry that one."

Mercury slams another book shut.

"Oh."

"What was this place called again?" Emerald asked.

"Tukson's Book Trade." He answered as his voice was nearly trembling.

"And you're Tukson?"

"That's right." He replied.

"So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper answered.

"And, what was it again?" Mercury questioned.

"Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun." Tucson said once again.

"Except the "Third Crusade"." Mercury looks at him with a determined look on his face.

"It's just a catchphrase." Tukson lied.

"It's false advertising!" Mercury retorted.

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald stated as Mercury activates a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken.

"I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo."

Then Mercury activates another switch and the window in the front door darkens.

"Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that.

And finally Mercury activates the third and final switch, darkening the last window as he smiles creepily at Tukson.

"And neither are we... You know who we are, don't you?"

"Yes." Tukson answered.

"And you know why we're here?" Emerald asked in a quite demanding voice.

"Yes." He gulped.

"So... are you going to fight back?"

"Yes!" Tukson's nails turned into claws from his fingers. He leaps atop his counter in a threatening manner. Mercury and Emerald back up slightly and he leaps at Emerald and slashes at her, but she dodges. He looks forward and was surprised at Mercury as he raises one leg for a kick with his shotgun-greaves, leaving a loud bang.


Meanwhile, Somewhere in Vale...

"Junior! We have a problem!" Yelled a terrified henchman as he entered in a quite luxurious room where a muscular man stood with a beard.

"What is it?" Hei grunted. "What's the commotion out there?"

"W-We h-have that person out there and is ruining our new reconstructed bar!" The henchman explain. "At least it's only one person."

"What?!" Yelled back the frustrated Hei. "Who's causing all this ruckus? Wait... Did that "Blondie" found us or someone else?!"

"Someone else sir, It's a boy with pink hair" The henchman corrected. "He's all alone, but there is one thing.."

"What thing?" He demanded.

"He's-"

BOOOM!

Suddenly, his speech was interrupted by an explosion from outside and screams from the other henchmen were heard, Hei went out and saw what was happening, his newly constructed club turned into a battle ground, a dozens of henchmen laid unconscious on the ground, even to his shock as he saw a large crater appeared on the dancing area where the disco ball stood above and the air was filled with smoke all around, however, he looked down and saw a silhouette figure behind the smoke.

"Oi, are you this person known as "Junior"?" Asked the person.

As the smoke cleared, revealed a teenage boy who have spiky pink hair, his outfit consists of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, often left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals and the scale-patterned scarf.

"I ask you once again." He asks again. "Are you Junior?"

"Y-Yes." He answered, the pink-haired teen grinned maliciously.

Suddenly, more henchmen regrouped behind Hei as they pulled out their weapons.

"Orders?"

"Get that kid chopped off!" Hei ordered as his men charged against the teen.

"Fire...DraGON'S ROAR!"

Suddenly, he sent out a large beam of flames sprout out from his mouth as more of his henchmen were blown away, Hei or known as "Junior" trembled back on the ground in defeat and frustration, the pink-haired teen towered against Junior.

"Wh-Who or what are you?!" He demanded

"Natsu." The pink-haired guy grinned wider. "Natsu Dragneel from Beacon Academy and were here to arrest you."

"Natsu there you are!" Suddenly a female voice was heard behind. "Did you find him?"

"Yo Lucy." He waved at her, suddenly, three newcomers came.

"So this is the "Junior" guy that Professor Ozpin was talking about." Grey looked upon him. "A guy who smuggled weapons and dust."

"The job was easy than I thought of what our Professor offered." Lucy added.

"Hold on." Ezra unsheathed her sword. "Something's not right.."

Suddenly, hundreds of footsteps were heard as more than 50 henchmen entered the club, Junior smirked.

"Seems like you found me." Junior said maliciously as he stood up. "Sadly, looks like that you're life would end miserably."

Team NELG began to takes a back-to-back while taking a battle stance against their foe's surrounding them.

"Attack!" Junior ordered his men.

"Now!" Team NELG splits.

Gray caught himself surrounded by Juniors goon's

"Hehe, You ain't running boy." Taunted the goon while pointing his gun against Gray.

"Ey? What are you talking about that I'm running away eh?" Gray slammed his palm against the ground, unleashing his ice magic.

"ICE MAKE FLOOR!"

Suddenly the floor turned into ice, however, the goon's feet were trapped within, struggling their feet to get free.

"What the?! What is this?!" One of the struggling goon demanded.

But Gray isn't finished yet, He let out one of his attacks.

"ICE MAKE: CRESCENT BLADES!"

Suddenly a barrage of huge formed crescent-like bullets spread out, knocking the goons out from consciousness.

"Piece of Cake." He said in a bored expression as he crossed his arms.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Erza took horizontal quick slash against a dozens of goons, however, more and more were coming.

"Re-Equip!"

The blinded the incoming goons as they saw the light covered the scarlet knight, after the light faded in a mere seconds, her armor changed into Heavenly Wheels Armor, the Henchmen looked in awe and surprise.

"Circle Sword!" Erza rose up her double-edge swords. "DANCE MY BLADES!"

In that moment, The swords began to spins rapidly and send it towards against a huge group of henchmen into the air.

"Tsk, These guys were well organized than those thugs in the Dark Guild."

With Lucy, Happy hugged tightly on Lucy's arm while she was standing near the wall as the goons surrounded her.

"Lucy, What are we gonna do?" Said the frightened cat.

"Don't worry I got this." Lucy whispered back.

"Hey! Don't make any stupid or we'll cut off you limbs, woman." The goon raised his sword against her.

However, Lucy raised both of her keys.

"Come out! Virgo! Cancer!"

*Ding!-Dong!*

"Yes Princess?"

"Ebi?"

"Virgo, Cancer, Take out those thugs!" Lucy ordered.

"Ebi!" First, Cancer was able to attack as he dashed across the goons, the knocked half of the group down, leaving them unconscious after they received a haircut.

"My turn." Virgo jumped high and began to transform into a humongous large, fat maid, she fell upon them as the henchmen screamed in terror and crashes, they received a knock out.

"Thanks you guys." Lucy thanked to her spirits.

"rrrRRAAAAHHHH" Natsu kicked out a single henchman, sending it flying, screaming into the air and crashes through the roofs leaving a hole.

"Where the hell is Militia and Melanie?!" Junior demanded furiously to the next henchman beside him.

"Sir, They went shopping."

"WHAT?!" Junior's jaw dropped. "Since when?!"

"Three hours ago, They might coming back late in the afternoon."

"Goddammit!" Junior cursed as he pulled out his Batzooka, he pressed the trigger as a salvo of missiles dashed through the air and went straight forward Natsu.

"Got you boy." Junior grinned as the explosions caught the Dragon slayer.

However, Natsu didn't even react nor flinched, after the explosion, He still stood there in one piece, Junior went wide eyes in shock.

"Tsk, That's all?" Natsu wiped out the dirt from his cheek. "Maybe I'll give you some more."

Natsu slammed his fist together as a dragon pentagon appeared before him, he inhale until he unleashes flames on his fist.

"IRON FIST OF THE FIRE DRAGON!"

Natsu caught Junior off guard and send him towards against the wall until he was crashed outside, leaving a large hole outside.

"Nice work." Erza came behind him and looked back into the huge club as Gray grabbed an unconscious henchman for inspection.

"Jeez, seems like were back in Earthland." Gray sighed as he looked up. "Beating bad guys like these thugs, reminds me more like those Dark Guild members."

"Well, The police are here, We should head back to Beacon." Lucy said as the other nodded.

Minutes later, The Vale's police officers finally arrives on the scene as they clicked the handcuffs on the henchmen even Junior himself was also thrown into the Police truck.

"Thanks for the help lads." One of the Police officer thanked to Team NELG before leaving.

Suddenly, Erza receives a call on the scroll.

"Professor Ozpin?" Then she press the answer button to make a cam call.

"So, How's the result of the mission?"

"It was a success Professor." Erza smiled back.

"I see, Good to hear." Ozpin sighed in relief over the scroll. "Looks like Junior will find a comfortable cell in Jail, well then, we'll meet again you four at Beacon."

"Later." Then Erza pressed the decline red button as the group headed back to the Academy.


Beacon Academy, Cafeteria.

Blake looked on the sketches and notes mark, These included the White Fang insignia, a possible picture of Adam, and Adam's rose. In the cafeteria, Team RWBY are sitting together as Blake looks over some notes. Yang catches small pieces of fruit in her mouth flung from a spoon by Nora.

"Whatcha doing?" Yang sat very near beside Blake.

"Nothing." Blake closes her book." Just going over notes from last semester."

"Lame."

Yang catches a single grape in her mouth and gives Nora a thumb's up. Ruby enters and slams a huge binder of "Activities" onto the table, disrupting the calm.

Ruby puts her knuckle near her mouth.

"Ahem." She gestures to everyone at the table. "Sisters... friends... Weiss."

"Hey!" Weiss shrugged.

"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." Ruby exclaimed.

"This ought to be good." Yang said to her teammates.

"A dream that one day, the four of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!" Ruby said proudly herself.

"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss shot a glare at Ruby.

Ruby makes "peace" signs with both hands. "I am not a crook."

"What are you talking about?

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" She points her finger at Blake.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!" The blonde haired girl let out a pun. "Eh? Guys? Am I right?"

The others seem less than impressed by Yang's lame pun and she is pegged in the head with an apple she was not ready for, however, someone can be heard booing, She glares in response.

Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year," Ruby continued. "Our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today."

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Yang is still glaring, she began to pick up an apple and tosses it across the dinning room.

"Hey!" Shouted an unfamiliar voice, however, Nora was giggling.

"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out." Blake said that she isn't quite sure about in the middle of their discussion.

"Sit out or not," Weiss said. "I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!"

"I got it!" Nora hummed as she picked up a pie.

"I for one think that-" Suddenly, before as just as her sentence was finished, Weiss is interrupted by a pie landing on her face.

Nora is shown to be the one who threw the pie, she sits down and points at Ren who has his head in his palm. Pyrrha gasped and Jaune simply sits staring wide-eyed while covering his ear with his palm, things would get ugly.


Meanwhile..

Outside the cafeteria, Sun Wukong and one of his teammates, known as Neptune, are walking together as Sun relates the events which took place since a few weeks ago.

"Man, that's harsh." Neptune said.

"I know, we were fighting side by side." Sun said in a gleeful expression. "She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome."

"Nice!" Neptune smirked upon hearing his story.

"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus." But then Sun looks up and looked back at Neptune. "But that's a secret, okay?"

"Got it." Neptune remarked.

Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret.

"And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret," I'm talking secret secret."

"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it." Neptune whispered. "I got it!"

"You better." Meanwhile, In the Cafeteria, Team RWBY and JNPR threw food against each other, however, At one point, Jaune was grabbed by Nora until he got splattered into the window.

"I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys."

"None taken." Neptune remarked.

"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?"

"Dude."

Neptune stood proudly himself as from feet to his face. Neptune's teeth gleam as he smiles.

"Good point."

Moments later, Sun and Neptune enter the cafeteria where students are heard screaming frantically.

"Food fight!" One of the students yelled.

Many students started to stampeding out to the exit as they passed Sun and Neptune, the latter of whom is looking quite worried.

"Ahahahaha!" Nora was laughing like a maniac as she stood on top a tower of tabled along with the rest of her teammates of Team JNPR.

"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora sings from above.

Suddenly, Ruby stomped her foot on a table and pointing at Team JNPR while holding her milk packed in a carton.

"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" Then Ruby crushes a carton of milk in her hand. "It will be delicious!"

Team RWBY raised their fists

"Yeah!"

"Off with their heads!" Nora jumps down from the top of her tower.

Ren flips a food tray and stomps up a trio of melons which he kicks into the air. Jaune dives onto a nearby melon and rolls before heaving it through the air. Pyrrha lobs two more melons threw it directly on the air. Nora heaves an entire table full of melons and launches entirety towards at Team RWBY position.

"Yang, turkey!" Ruby ordered.

Her sister ,Yang, rolls over to the two turkeys on the ground and inserting both of her fists inside them, proceeding to block and punch the melons as they speed toward her. Blake rolled out and took two baguette as the block the melons in unison, However, Pyrrha grabbed a baguette with her until as the both spar with each other between Blake and Pyrrha, thus the red-haired amazon jumped back into the tabled while Yang launched both of her turkey's into the air and hits directly at him thus Jaune is knocked over by them. Pyrrha breaks out from her defending position and charge towards Blake, however, to Blake's surprise which caught her off guard, she was totally outmatched by Pyrrha and knocks Blake down, Then the amazon threw spears three baguettes directly at Yang and fell off from her table, Ruby blocks another thrown baguette using a food tray she is riding in a skateboard side. Then she lands on Pyrrha and knocks her over. Ren and Nora breaks up from their defensive positions, However, Weiss grabbed a ketchup as Ruby passed through her, She sets ketchup trap as Ren slipped into a pile of tables and food charges at Ruby. Nora makes a run until she jumped higher to pull out a pole from the ceiling and impaled the watermelon on a pole as a makeshift hammer. She knocks Ruby down making her flying backwards while the crashed through the table. Weiss retrieves a swordfish from the ground and dashed to fight Nora but was outmatched by Nora's hammering attacks and smashed her through several tables and into a pillar near one end of the cafeteria. The impact knocks her out and Ruby dashed to Weiss as she held her in her arms as the pillar collapses around them.

"Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me!" Ruby whined. "Nooo!"

Yang went back into the battlefield and equips herself with two more turkeys as she battles Ren who holds leek stalks. Yang uppercuts Ren into the air and he hurls his "weapons" down at her. Yang leaps high into the air and punches Ren, slamming him into the ground.

*BANG!*

Suddenly, The door from the other entrance was shut open leaving a loud bang.

"Yo, Were back!" Natsu yelled as he triumphantly raised both of his fists into the air, however, silence immediately filled in the air upon Team NELG.

"Wh-What happened here?" Lucy gasped.

They saw an entire mess across the cafeteria while Nora was fighting against Yang, but then...

"Oi! Let me join in!" Then Natsu rushed into the food fight.

"Hahaha! Looks like a new challenger arrives!" Nora laughed as she turns her eyes from Yang to Natsu.

"Yosh, Fire Dragon's Special Attack!" Then Natsu held two bottles of chili's in one hand. "BOMBING CHILI!"

He threw directly where Nora and Yang stood, however, The jumped back as they dodged, leaving two chili bottles exploded like a fiery bomb.

"Natsu are you insane?!" Gray yelled at him in frustration, but then again he sighed as he joins the battle.

"That idiot." Gray mumbles himself. "Ice make: ICE CREAM SENTRY!"

Suddenly, He summoned an ice sentry, he quickly put some chocolate and strawberry inside before firing against the three, like a machine gun with flavors.

However, Erza never mind it, she sat on a table, still stood in one piece, she hummed as she unpacked a small package revealing, the one of her most favourite ... Strawberry Cake... she took out a fork and began to dine in.

Lucy, however, she hid under the table away from the mess.

"This is going crazy..."

But at least she's not alone, Happy sat beside her while eating a fish.

"Aye, It really reminds me back at the guild."

Suddenly, Blake regain consciousness and dodge the ceiling debris by rolling to her feet. She grabs a link of sausages, she whips towards Nora back against a soda machine. Using the soda cans as ammunition, Nora throws them back at Blake and they explode like grenades, spraying soda everywhere.


Slow-motion time.

But something went unexpected, As Yang was still fighting against Natsu, with both of her Turkey's on her hands, Two chili bottles in his hands, Yang shot out a turkey as Natsu easily dodged aside, However, The Turkey also passed through Gray as it went slow-motion, as Gray laid his eyes on the Turkey, it flew directly towards Erza at full speed.

'OH SHIT!' Gray's mind cursed.

Just as the Turkey flew directly on Erza, but due to it's weight, it went down, Gray went from frustration to relief, thinking it would miss her.


Back to Normal-motion.

However, The Turkey slid across the table and hit Erza's cake to the ground, Erza went from relief to a pure shock and frustration as Gray's spine shivered and turned pale once again.

"Damn...Were so dead..." Gray cursed himself.

"M-...My Strawberry Cake..." Erza was trying to recover herself from shock, however, It was immediately splattered by Yang, before this happens, she jumped away from Natsu's attack as she went unnoticed that she stomped her feet on her cake, Erza stood up and towered over Yang as shadow cover her from behind, Natsu gotten himself paled as he saw Erza behind her but...

"Tsk, Better you'll lose this time, Natsu." She teased as she pointed the Turkey towards Natsu, still in her hands. "I'm not gonna lose-"

Just as before her sentence was finished, a hand grabbed her hair on top of her head, Yang's eyes went from lilac to red.

"What the?! You-?!" She quickly spins around and delivered a punch against "Someone" behind her who grabbed her hair, was immediately halted by a hand and crushed the turkey as bones and roasted flesh splattered across, also it immediately held her hand to not let it go, then she was met by Erza's scary and a demonic death glare, the blonde's red-eyes turns back to lilac, the brawler felt a shiver on her spine and sweat drops spread all over her face, only thing from what she felt... Fear.

"Oi, Did you...splattered my cake?" The scarlet haired knight said in a cold tone.

Yang slowly looks down, she saw a cake, splattered by her foot, then she looked up again to Erza, she gulped.

'S-S-Scary...' Yang thought and stuttered. "Y-You can buy another one, with a Yang?"

Bad Pun, Bad Turn, Bad Luck.

"ERZA'S STRAWBERRY CAKE WAS CRUSHED!" Gray yelled. "HIDE!"

"EEEHHH?!" Rest of Team NELG went pale and hid behind the tables.

"So, I guess I'm gonna send you," Then she grabbed tightly on Yang's hair and threw her in the air. "AND YOUR YAPPING PUNS INTO HELL!"

"WAAAHHH!" Yang screamed in the air as she was crashed through the ceiling then into the sky, leaving a hole into it.

"Re-Equip!"

In a single flash, Erza's uniform turned into her Purgatory armor, Team RWBY and JNPR saw Erza, stood on the table.

"Never mess with my cake, ever." She glares at them as both Teams stood in shock, the "Titania" leaps into the air as she waved her huge, deadly sword.

"RRAAAHH!"

As her sword impacted the grounds of the dining room, the humongous blast send every tables and food flying around, as both teams were hit by different kinds of food as they were thrown into the walls, Moments later, Colors of food can be seen on the walls, until 7 people from both teams from RWBY and JNPR, fell to the ground as they were also covered in food color, the food fight was over, However, Team NELG sighed in relief as Erza's berserk was over.

"Man, I love these guys." Sun said with a smile. "But, That Red-haired girl is scary, I've once told you about that girl, her name was Scarlet, right?"

Neptune looked over Sun and is drenched with soda and is not pleased. The doors behind them open and Glynda enters the room growling. She waves her crop to use telekinesis to re-organize the room.

"Children, please." She glared at them as she adjusts her glasses. "Do not play with your food."

Nora burps aloud as both Teams JNPR and RWBY try and fail to compose themselves. A screaming Yang then crashes from the ceiling into one of the tables. Glynda grumbles as Ozpin approaches and places a hand on her shoulder.

"Let it go."

"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." Glynda sighs.

"...and they will be, but right now they're still children." Then Ozpin looked at both Team RWBY and NELG.

Natsu, Gray, Happy Weiss and Blake were laughing together as the scared Yang hugged Ruby very tight as she still received a death glare from Erza.

"Th-That isn't even funny at all!" Whined Yang to everyone as tears flows from her cheeks like waterfalls.

"So why not let them play the part?" Then Ozpin begins to walks away from Glynda. "After all, it isn't a role they'll get to have forever."


Somewhere in Vale, Nighttime...

In an old warehouse, the member of the White Fang are moving crates as Emerald and Mercury enter.

"Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!"

Roman turned to the two from behind and wraps his arms around them in a group hug.

"Spare us the thought of you procreating." Emerald shivered in disgust.

Emerald And Mercury fee themselves from Roman's group hug.

"That was a joke. And this... just might tell me where you two have been all day." Roman stole something from Emerald as she went unnoticed, then he pulled a piece of paper.

"What!? Agh..." Emerald went wide-eyes.

"I'm a professional, sweetheart." Roman glared at her. "Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something. Why do you have this address?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald talked back.

"Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?" He questioned the two.

"Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least." Mercury answered since the last time to get rid of a Faunus named Tukson.

"I had that under control."

"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." Mercury stated.

"Listen you little punk." Roman glared over Mercury. "If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and..."

"Do what, Roman?"

Suddenly, as they Cinder appears on a platform above them. She steps onto an automated lift, riding it down to their level.

"I'd, uh... not kill them?" Roman chuckled nervously.

"Cinder!" Emerald was happy to see the black-haired woman.

"I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway." Cinder said towards Roman.

"I was going to-"

"He was going to escape to Vacuo! Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." Emerald interrupted by speaking the ironic truth.

"I think he was some sort of cat, actually." Mercury chuckled.

"What? Like a puma?" The green-haired girl asked.

"Yeah, there ya go." He chuckled.

"Quiet." Cinder interrupts. "Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?"

As Cinder speaks, Roman points a finger at the pair while laughing in agreement.

"I just thought..." Emerald exclaimed.

Roman uses his fingers to mime having a slit throat.

"Don't think... obey." Cinder glared.

"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again." Emerald apologizes.

"And you." Then Cinder turned over Roman. "Why wasn't this job done sooner?"

As the most wanted criminal speaks, he points to his right, then to his left, then behind him.

"Uh..? Eh..? Eh..? EHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom!" He said in an irritating voice.

"You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask." Mercury remarks as Emerald laughs.

"Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty on an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might make my next string of robberies go smoother!" Roman emphasizes the last word by clenching his fist.

Cinder walked towards Roman.

"Oh, Roman. Have a little faith." She places her hand on his face. "You'll know what you need when you need to know."

Roman seems entranced, but then looks away with a grunt.

"Besides, we're done with Dust."

Cinder turns away from him.

"S-Sir, Junior got arrested." One of the members of the White Fang informed Roman.

"Again?" He grunted.

"Yes, He got arrested while he was knocked out in a fight with this guy over here." The he pulled out a picture taken from a hidden camera from Junior's club, showing a familiar pink-haired teen he once meet him days ago.

"Pink...," Roman growled furiously. "then what now?

"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building." Cinder explained. "I'll send you details and coordinates tonight."

"Coordinates?" Roman asked

Cinder looked back at Roman.

"We're proceeding to phase two."

Cinder, Mercury and Emerald begin to walk away. Roman attempts to light a cigar, but realizes Emerald has stolen his lighter. She turns back to face him and sticks her tongue out defiantly.
