I was really expecting her to be mad. We had to launch the train way ahead of schedule and all the effects of the train were nullified by a bunch of Huntresses and the warship now hovering above the city. But, Cinder was happy with me, for some reason. I didn't know much about her master plan, I just protected Roman and followed any orders she gave to me. I got that White Fang leader out of the train but that was about all I could do.

Maybe Cinder just didn't want me around incase the masked woman found me again. In any case I was going to enjoy my bonus and if she found me, at least I would die free. This should last me for about a month anyways.

Vale was peaceful again. The people walked the streets without the fear of Grimm or White Fang attacking them. This was mostly due to the robots stationed at every street corner. This made me feel a little less guilty about letting Roman get captured. With all these robots, scanning faces, Roman wouldn't last a day on these streets. I was fortunate enough not to have gained much notoriety. Other than that team of Huntresses, I haven't engaged the authorities and no one else knew my face.

My scroll beeped. The preset alarm had gone off. I reached into my back pocket and pulled out the bag of pills Cinder had given me.

I should find a vendor and buy a drink or something. These blue pills were actually quite large. I started my search and found a vending machine set up in preparation for the Vital festival. I bought a drink and turned to leave, planning on taking the pill as I walked. I stopped dead in my tracks.

Standing a few feet away and looking right at me was ... was bl-cat ... I don't know, the black themed Faunus. I panicked on instinct before I remembered that none of them were fast enough to do anything to me. I smirked at her and got ready to flash away before I remembered, aren't there four of them?

Something hit me from behind as the scenery changed in front of me. My pills and my drink flew out of my hands as I wielded my parasol. The drink fizzled as it hit the ground. I put my hands out onto the rapidly approaching ground and pushed, performing a handstand flip. My head whipped around to see the blond from the train having traveled with me onto a rooftop in Vale.

"You are going to stay here and fight me. No running away this time." the blond demanded. How oblivious she was to how close she came to her end last time. Just a few more seconds alone with her and the legacy of her life would have been an extra two months on my vacation, awarded by Cinder.

A burst of bullets raced towards me out of nowhere and I shielded myself with my parasol just in time to stop the last few bullets. The red one sped forward off of another roof top at incredible speed to stop behind the blond. It was a good thing she missed the first couple of shots or I would have been a goner. Okay, maybe I should just leave.

Suddenly, what looked like a grapple with a black ribbon was thrown onto the roof. The black themed girl soon pulled herself up onto the roof with it. Yep, definitely time to leave.

I searched for my bag of payment and saw that it was on the ground between me and the girls. Without another seconds delay the girls charged forward and I teleported. It took them a few seconds for them to realize that I teleported past them and was retrieving my property.

The blond loosed a round from her gauntlets at me but I blocked it with my parasol. Apparently she was smarter than she looks as she charged forward and didn't try to hit me but instead grabbed my pills.

I teleported past her and hooked her neck with the curved handle of my parasol, pulling her to the ground. I didn't have time to grab my bag before the other two opened fire. I shielded myself with my parasol and was planning my next move when I heard something on the street level.

"Disturbance detected. Investigating area." a robotic voice called out. I couldn't let those robots see my face. I looked down at the blond who was now recovering with her hand still tightly grasped on the bag. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a robotic hand grab onto the top of the building and then I was gone.

I spied on the team from a nearby alley as the Schnee heiress made her way to the roof. They just made a big mistake. I needed that bag and by taking it they just awarded themselves a personalized haunting until I get it back.

I panicked for a moment as I couldn't feel the weight of my parasol anywhere on my body. I looked around on the ground for it before I realized that it was in my hand. I gripped it tighter and stared at my hand as I did so. I couldn't feel it's weight, I couldn't feel my fingers tighten around it. I really needed that bag back. Soon.
