Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about RWBY. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Atlesian Warship Halberd.)

Everyone from Atlas was mostly soldiers… There was infantry, mechs… And the Specialists.

Then there was the Black Ops division… And the boy, Skyler Azur paced back and forth.

His look was… Unique, to say the least, at least for the moment.

He wore the normal clothing he wore when he wasn't on missions.

He wore a white jacket which had black mixed in, icy blue boots, white gloves with black on the palms and the other side of the fingers, a white shirt with blue in the middle and Atlas's paintbrush/gear symbol in the right corner.

"Captain, come in…."

Came the voice in the other room, he walked in, his weapon Centurion lazuli, sat in its holster on his thigh.

He stepped into the office of James Ironwood…. General of the Atlesian Army, commander of the military for the time being… And the headmaster of Atlas Academy.

"Sir… I thought it was Lieutenant before?"

Skyler asked as the General stepped up from his pristine white desk to look at Skyler.

The Captain noted that Lieutenant Schnee was gone from the room, he looked around, his ocean blue eyes looking through every detail of the room.

"Your last assignment in Mistral… That White Fang camp… I couldn't not promote you, Captain… You aren't a specialist… You answer to me and me alone with the exception of the council…"

Ironwood put in as Skyler gave a wry smile at this and chuckled.

"Having White Fang troops so close to Haven Academy put the entire Kingdom at risk, sir…. I just engaged them because I felt it was the right move."

Skyler said as Ironwood looked the boy over.

Skyler was 17, despite the spiky black hair and piercing Blue Ocean eyes, he was still a teen.

A very lethal and skilled teen… But still a teen, Ironwood sighed as he turned to the Black Ops soldier.

"There's been a… Incident in Vale…. Besides the tournament, there are problems in Vale… I'm sure you've bene filled in by Winter?"

The Atlesian General asked, Skyler nodded as Ironwood crossed to the window, looking out over the sea before he gazed at Skyler.

"The White Fang attack on the Snow Sparrow… The freighter from SDC that was carrying enough Dust to supply an army?"

Skyler asked, he got a nod before he turned to face the teen.

"I want you to go to Vale… Before we arrive, 2 weeks to be exact…. And to go to Beacon… At least until we can find out how much the White Fang and whoever is in charge of them are doing over in Vale… We have to find out what they want."

Ironwood stated as Skyler gave a small smirk and crossed over to the window as well.

"Maybe they just want a new dust collection and didn't want to pay, sir?"

Skyler joked as Ironwood gave a dry chuckle, before Skyler had joined the elite portion of the Atlesian Military, he had been somewhat shy and introverted, easily bothered, yet had a very silly sense of humor.

He was glad to see some of it still remained, Skyler walked towards the door, there was little to say, Skyler would get the job done, he always did.

"General?"

Skyler asked as Ironwood turned to Skyler as the Captain looked at the military commander for a second.

"Just don't take these guys lightly… Or we could be in trouble… I'll send the first report in a week before you arrive in Vale, sir."

Skyler said before the door closed and the office was left empty besides the General.

"I'll keep that in mind… Good luck, Captain…"

Ironwood said before he turned back to looking at the ocean, he hoped the Black Ops soldier would make even a single friend… One besides the Schnees… As much of a friend they were.

But that was up to Skyler… And he had soldiers to command and students to look after.

(Atlesian Dropship, 20 minutes later)

The Pilot looked at Skyler as he sat in the seat, a squad of Atlesian Knights-200 surrounding his seat.

"Shane, right? Private Shane Cobalt?"

Skyler asked as the Atlesian Soldier turned to look at Skyler, the Green marks of his armor showed he was a Pilot and not a member of the infantry division of the military.

"Yes sir, General Ironwood assigned me to fly you to Beacon ahead of the others… He said it was important you reached Vale before the others…"

The pilot said as Shane nodded, he hoped one of Ironwood's adjutants had sent the paperwork ahead to Beacon.

Little did he know what the coming year and a half would be for him… And the events that would change his life.

"Yeah… I guess he did… Just make sure to get there soon…"

Skyler whispered and sighed.

Author notes

Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know it isn't perfect, first chapters aren't my thing? As for Skyler? I will explain him next chapter… This story takes place during season 2 of RWBY and will have different events… Next chapter will be on next Tuesday or so and will show Skyler getting to Beacon and meeting team RWBY. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
