Hello everyone there is going to be a different way I'm doing this as I'm going to bounce between every character as to balance out the story also I apologize as per the volume that came out didn't leave me with much so I'm trying to cram in as much as I can. So Das VIDANYA.

A small cabin in the woods was seen and through the second story window a blonde girl could be seen laying in bed her her arm missing she looked like she was defeated. She continued to looked down at her only hand her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a loud slam from down stairs. "I said get out of my house!" the voice was clearly coming from her father Tai Yang. Yang stood up from her bed and headed downstairs and stopped at the final step and looked around the corner and saw a cloaked figure with a black hood but a Chinese looking cloths though there were multiple subtleties such as ropes around each of the man's forearms as well as a belt that had a what looked like two rows of knives that went all around his body.

"Ying? Is that you?" The man looked to Yang and removed his hood and it was Ying with his hair tied up like it was folded over behind his head. "Dad why are you shouting at him to leave he's knows us." Tai looked to Yang and looked genuinely concerned.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you but what he's asking is-" Tai was interrupted by Ying who stepped forward looking toward Yang but not at her as if he was trying to avoid looking at her. "Yang I came here to get you to come with me you can't stay here this isn't you. You need to look after your sister." as he said this Yang's expression changed from one that was glad to see her friend to one of disappointment. Without a word she turned back upstairs and went to her room Ying watched helplessly as this happened he now saw how hurt she was at his words and he clenched his fist.

"You got your answer now please leave I don't want to force you." Tai Yang said as Ying turned and began to walk out the door but before he did he reached into his clothing and pulled out a letter and handed it to Tai Yang. "I almost forgot this letter shouldn't be read aloud nor in public. Keep it from Yang as well." Tai took the letter and studied it for a moment before closing the door.

At a bar outside of any walls a man steps in his clothing resembled a pirate with his long black coat with gold trimmings red pants and brown boots with the pants tucked inside the jacket remained unbuttoned and his chest was bare although it was there was some black veins that stuck out a little on his chest and his skin seemed slightly tinted. On his back was a long metal hexagonal bat with a hole at the end of it.

He walked up to the bar and saw the bartender wasn't watching the front and he quickly grabbed a bottle from behind the counter and made his way upstairs he saw a woman dressed in red and black wielding a weapon and a mask who cut a hole in what looked like thin air and walked into it and it stayed for a moment and the waitress near him dropped what she was carrying and the hole disappeared. A man turned to her and ushered to his drink. "Make this one a double." the man said as the woman didn't know what to do and before she could say anything the man dressed in the coat stepped forward and placed a few lien on her tray.

"Don't worry about it and keep the tip." The man said as he looked to the man with the drink who looked surprised to see him At the same bar as him.

"Pythius." the man with the drink said.

"Qrow." said Pythius

Pythius sat down and placed the bottle on the table and popped the top. "I guess the family reunion didn't plan out as you had hoped." Pythius said as he pushed the bottle toward Qrow who filled up his empty cup with it.

"Yea not so well." Qrow seemed distant when he was talking with Pythius. "How's your kid I heard he wasn't with the others when the tower fell and I only assume that you took him?" Qrow said taking a drink.

Pythius nodded to his question. "Yes I kept him at Yiyo's home and I told him everything and he….didn't take it too kindly." Pythius said as Qrow finished his cup and let out a deep sigh and began to fill it up again. "Yea telling a kid there is magic and gods really in the world tends to frighten the poor buggers and after the fall I figured Yiyo was the one who betrayed us though I'm sure he had been under their thumb the entire time I knew him." Qrow said as he started talking more calmly.

Pythius looked to the window and saw the inn across the street. "I understand that you're protecting her but she needs to know at some point about the gods and Salem's plan."

"Yea of which I'm inclined to ask what exactly her plan is again."

"You already know I can't tell you." Pythius said looking to his left hand which had a glove upon it.

Qrow sighed as he sat back in his chair this time not touching his drink and looked to Pythius with concern. "How much time left?"

"I don't know for sure but with my aura it won't be for a long time." Pythius said as Qrow looked to his cup and then to a table behind him and saw a spare cup and grabbed it and filled it up and pushed it over to Pythius who looked at it for a moment before taking a drink. "So why are you here last time I checked Salem's crew was killing off as many people that we're escaping Vale looking for it but if you're here then it's serious."

Pythius looked around before speaking again. "I was pulled back from that order and told to wait her for someone to go for a special hint and judging from how she is here in the same town it's not looking good we will most likely be crossing each other." Pythius said as Qrow poured the last of the bottle into his cup.

"So do you know who is coming?" Qrow asked as he began to slowly spin his cup around.

"I have a rough idea who might though you don't know him but I will say this he is who is in charge of keeping me in line you could say he's my higher up." Pythius said as Qrow nodded. "In sorry though I can't say anything more about what's to happen though I will say this though I contacted an old friend of that girl Penny the one who sadly got torn apart. I got him to agree to help watch over Ruby and her friends."

Qrow watched as Pythius stood up and reached out his hand to Qrow. "I was nice talking to you after such a long time friend." Qrow looked at his hand for a moment before shaking it. "I was nice." Qrow said as Pythius let go and walked away as if their meeting never happened.

Qrow sat there and as he finished the last drop he placed his glass down and as he did the legs on Pythius chair gave way and fell to the floor. "It was….nice."

Atlas a Kingdom built like a fortress not only because of its inhabitants but also the environment that protects it but the real threat to this kingdom begins with its leaders and the disarray from what has happened at Vale in the collapse but as to calm the people the Schnee family decided to throw a party with Weiss Schnee being the 'star'.

Weiss stood by her father receiving praise by random people but their words meant nothing to her as they all felt uptight in their words as they weren't there to know how she felt. "We are running low on Scallop Sashimi with Meyer Lemon Confit people!" Weiss's attention snapped back to a girl around her age yelling at some servants but as she yelled they seemed glad even though her words were harsh. The girl in question had short white pink hair with a tiny hat on as well and her piercing orange eyes stood out the most as for her dress that stuck out on sides making her look almost like a performer for a magic trick with her white high heel boots that reached up to her knees and stockings that reached to her thighs and stuck to her dress by a cross belt that kept them up.

Weiss had already known the girl in fact she had known her since the both of them were young her name was Cirque De Sole her name was strange but it was made because her family is a group who owns the theatre that Weiss sings in and they are actually the hosts of the party next to Jacque Schnee. "Isn't that young Sole?" A random person asked and Weiss's father answered him. "Yes ever since her mother passed away a couple years she had to take on the family name and now she owns the theatre."

"What about her sister?"

"She is still in the city though she does want to run the family she still respects her mother's wishes to be honest I do wish she handed it over to her sister at least she can make sensible dealings. For making this party she actually told me she will have dumplings on the menu such a childish girl."

Weiss watched as Cirque noticed something else and spouted it off saying a dish was missing and she made her way over to them. "Good evening Lady Sole." Jacque said in a proper manner and Cirque simply smiled and waved her hand. "Call me by my name Jacque I mean we have known each other since we were kids and speaking of which Weiss it's so good to see you again I was worried for you."

As Cirque pulled Weiss into a hug Jacque pulled onto his tie and looked to Weiss. "I'm going to talk with some important people so stay here and talk with miss Sole but stay in my line of sight." He said as he walked away and Weiss heard a slight whisper. "Is he gone?"

To which Weiss responded. "Yes."

Cirque let go of Weiss and the attitude from before had disappeared and a new one in its place. "Good I can't stand that egotistical rotten bastard and I have yet to understand how you came out of that. The world is full of mysteries."

Weiss shook her head and gave a sincere smile to her friend. "Its nice to see you though Weiss that part was true." Cirque said as she put her hands behind her back and looked to the painting of Beacon academy and looked saddened. "In sorry for what happened in Vale but I know how you feel as when that transmission was sent to the world I saw a friend of mine die there as well." Cirque said looking to the ground and then to Weiss who wasn't happy either.

"Weiss if there is anything I can do just ask I'm always here for you." She said as Weiss looked back to her and smiled.

"It's alright Cirque all I hope is the team and my other friends are still alright." Weiss said as she crossed her arms.

"Then why don't you check up on them?" Cirque said with a sparkle in her eyes.

"What?" Weiss was taken aback by this. But Cirque continued.

"We could easily bribe one of the pilots and go and meet them if anything your sister would be a major help." Cirque said with a smile but keeping it in a hushed whisper as to not let other people hear.

"I can't just abandon the family name and you can't either what would happen if I am to leave?" Weiss said before Cirque retorted.

"What's holding you back your dad he's a fricken cactus with how pricky he is and I could easily hand my name to my sister until I return I'll just leave her with instructions and if we need help I'll call up a friend of mine he owes me one." She said as if Weiss had already agreed to it.

"I'm sorry but as much as I want to I…..at least let me think on it ok?" Weiss said as Cirque composed herself and nodded. "You're right I'm sorry excuse me but I'll back I have to go make sure that the entries are coming out fine." Cirque said excusing herself and leaving the ballroom and into a hallway devoid of people her smile still on her face till it failed and she leaned up against the wall breathing hard. Soon she heard footsteps coming towards her and it was her head servant Levitz he was a black man with his hair tied back making a little puffball in the back of his head that she likes messing with he was slightly older than her but he acted much older.

"Lady Sole did the party impress Weiss?" He asked as he helped Sole up.

"Sadly I don't think she even notices it due to what happened though it didn't help that I got excited and she stopped me from continuing." She said leaning onto Levitz.

"It's alright Lady Sole I'm sure you can capture her heart. I have also heard that the Neptune boy won't be able to see Weiss due to the world being on edge." Levitz said as he continued to help his mistress through the hallway.

"Levitz can you find me a corrupt pilot that we can bribe?"

"Of course I can but may I ask what for?"

"Weiss wished to see her friends again so I'm going to help her leave the city."

"I see then I will do what I can. What about the Neptune boy shall I keep an eye on him and make sure he keeps away from Weiss?"

Cirque shook her head. "No I don't want to hurt Weiss as those bastards did if she chooses him I'm happy with it if she chooses me then I'll be happy." She said as Levitz nodded understanding her words until they came upon a door and it opened by two servants of Cirque's and a care waited for her and Levitz set her in.

"I'll make sure the party goes well Madam and I'll be sure to inform you of anything that happens." Levitz said as Cirque smiled to him and the door closed and drove off. Levitz reached into his pocket pulling out a necklace that looked very old and made by a child with a dirtied claw attached to it. "To make her happy."

Ying sat on a branch of a tall tree overlooking Yang's home and he simply watched her home while pulling out his scroll and going through his contacts before pressing Marcus's number. The scroll right away went to a system saying that the towers were not working at the moment and he should try again later. He sighed as he knew it was going to happen and he reached into he coat and pulled out a letter the same one left by Marcus telling the team he was leaving.

"Such a moron. Shouldn't he know acting like this isn't good for the team…" He said before looking off to the side and letting out a quick subtle chuckle. "Yea look who's talking." He said as he then heard something close and looked to the house and saw Yang was walking down the road to the mailbox which was under him. She opened it and grabbed a few papers but the was also a package she tried grabbing it but the letters would fall from her stumped arm. Ying jumped down and grabbed the package while she held the letters.

"I can handle it you know." Yang said as he looked to the ground not reporting to her comment as they walked toward the house Yang spoke. "How are the others I haven't heard anything about your team?"

Ying spoke not looking up from the ground. "Ared and Miria are heading to Mystral and Marcus we don't know where he went he said he went to Atlas but the more we think about it the more we believe he lied." Ying said as Yang looked to her missing arm and touched it.

"I understand what you're going through." Yang said as Ying then began to chuckle.

"But that isn't the worst part the girl that I like is starting to remind me of myself and it's making me think about everything I am and I hate what I've become." He said placing the package at the door and started to walk away Yang watched as he walked away and looked to her chest and placed her hand on her heart. "I don't know anymore."

Ying climbed up the tree he was up before noticing a couple people walking up the trail and he recognized them. "Professor Port and Professor Oobleck what are you doing here?" He asked and Port let out a hearty laugh while Oobleck crossed his arms.

"It is nice to see you as well and we should be asking the same I would have thought you would be with the other monks I understand that they packed up and moved somewhere else." Port said as he put his hands to his side's.

"Ah that is right and Yiyo has gone missing as well wouldn't that mean the house of Moth be led by you since you were next in line?" Oobleck asked as Ying jumped back down and shook his head to the both of them. "Sadly when Yiyo left he disbanded the house and he asked me to take care of the people when this problem to the world is finished."

Both Port and Oobleck looked to each other and understood what Ying had meant about 'Problem to the world.'

"Are you sure you're ready to take up such a mantle young Sagittarius?" Port asked as Ying looked to the house. "Not yet sir I still need to help others as well."

As their conversation ended with gentle goodbyes the two professors walked up to the house and entered while Ying sat in the tree and watched the house.

After a while he noticed that Post and Oobleck had began to leave he gave them a wave and they did in turn and the night seemed quiet except for the crickets and their soft music they play.

He was about to drift off to sleep before he was hit by a piece of wood and fell to the ground. He got up quick and looked around noticing that Yang was out on the porch and was the one who had hit him. He walked over to her and crossed his arms. "You could have just yelled out to me." He said before she sat down on a nearby rocking chair while he stayed leaning against one of the walls.

"Ying tell me…..who do you think I am?" She asked as She looked over to him while he simply smirked.

"That's simple the way I see you is that you're a person any person aspires to be but more then that you're beautiful and not afraid to punch whomever pisses you off…."

"But I am afraid." This cut Ying off as he looked to Yang and he hadn't noticed but she was actually crying. "I'm afraid if I go out there then I'm going to lose something more." She said as she wiped the tears away.

"Then I'll punch them for you." Ying said making Yang look up to who was now facing away from her. "Although it's not my method of fighting I'll make sure to prove my point." He said as he took a few steps off the porch. "I can't wait any longer for you to come with me if I don't get a defiant answer by tomorrow I'll leave to go to Mystral. I'm sorry." He said as he began to walk away he heard behind him quick footsteps and as he turned to look to her he was tackled to the ground.

As the dust settled he saw Yang laying on his chest tears soaking into his clothing he sat up and began to brush her hair with his hand he had remembered back in signal she would always ask him to do it before back then he hated doing it but now he couldn't help but do it. "Your such a jerk you know that?" she said as he chuckled and her head began to raise.

"Not the timing I was hoping that to get across to you." He said before he felt her soft lips upon his he was surprised by this but closed his eyes He wanted to hold her with both hands but he needed one to hold himself up so he had to settle with one hand.

As fast as the kiss had came it was gone the next when they heard a low grunt. Ying looked over Yang's shoulder to see Tai who had seen. Ying and Yang both got up and Ying bowed to the both of them before walking away Yang watched Ying walk away before looking to Tai and giving him a look. Tai shrugged and smiled.

"What I can't watch out for my own daughter?" Tai asked as Yang rolled her eyes and walked into the house.

Cirque laid in bed but part of her attire had been taken off as the red part of her dress was gone and all that remained was a tightly fitting attire that still looked fancy. (to be honest I have no clue how to describe her secondary attire or anything at all so be sure to check the picture down below to understand.)

Her large room seemed to be inspired by a flower but more importantly a pink begonia as the center of the room was white but the more you went to the edges of the room the more pink it got the same was said about the ceiling even her bed. Her door opened and it was another servant who she did not know the name to he entered and fixed the clothes that were spread upon the floor quickly and then stood next to her sleeping body. "Lady Sole please wake up you have an important message." Cirque stirred awaked and stretched and looked to her servant. "Lady Sole Levitz wished to speak with you." Cirque got up from her bed and and gave a warm smile to her servant and nodded. "Thank you…..I'm sorry but I don't remember your name."

"It's Bartz ma'am but do not worry it is no problem."

Cirque then put her hand to her chin. "Bartz….Bartz…...Bartz…" She repeated his name multiple time trying to remember it. "Well thank you for delivering this message please take the rest of the day off do not worry you will be paid even when you aren't here."

Bartz then laughed heartedly. "I thank you ma'am but I believe even if I did accept that offer I would stay here and clean anyway because you are nice to all of us." Cirque then giggled and then hugged the man. "Alright well I will go and see what Levitz has to say." She said as she let go and before she left looked back and saw that Bartz did go back to cleaning up her room. She cared for her servants even paying off a debt for one when they really needed it and even paid for medicine for one of their kids. She was considered the most kindest woman in her home well her sister was also as nice as her as well.

Cirque came upon a door and opened it to reveal her study which had begonia flowers in pots in each corner of the room and Levitz was near the desk bowing. She closed the doors and walked over to him. "Lady Cirque I have terrible news."

This made Cirque's smile falter. "What's wrong?"

Levitz stood straight up and spoke. "After you left the party Weiss started yelling at the people about living their up tight lives and then her father grabbed her and she fell and she summoned a Grimm with her glyphs and nearly killed a person Ironwood luckily saved them but Weiss was taken away by her father and my friends who work for them are telling me that she is ill and that they were told to not let her leave but the biggest part of it all is that she face up her next in line to her brother Whitley."

Levitz stood there waiting for what Cirque was going to say and she put her chin in her hand again and thought but also sticking her thumbnail into her mouth and began to bite at it. "I think we should visit her."

"My lady even though some of the guards are my friends they will follow their orders and won't let us near her." Levitz said trying to convince her.

"I know but we could also make another path remember this isn't the first time I've snuck in there. Levitz please go get me Autumn Frost." Cirque said as he nodded and left the room and soon later returned with a blade and sheath the blade was a Rapier but unlike Weiss myrtenaster Cirque's was much thinner. Autumn Frost also had to flowers that were near the hilt that were also pink she created her weapon a few weeks after Weiss made hers. "Get the car ready we are leaving immediately." She said as Levitz nodded and ran out I the room with Cirque following.

Outside Weiss's Home - night

Cirque and Levitz pressed up against the wall and saw a guard passing by Levitz was about to attack him but Cirque stopped him and shook her head and the guard left not noticing them. They snuck behind some bushes and she moved a heavy rock out of the way and a secret hole was revealed. "I made this hole years ago and I've only continued to improve upon it." She said as she jumped in and so did Levitz after her. The hole was big big enough to stand in and walk and to keep it from collapsing there was wood holding the walls and ceiling together.

They made it to the end of the long hall and there was a hole above them. "Open it slowly even though there aren't many guards who patrol around this area it's best to make sure." She said as Levitz nodded and climbed up and pushed what was covering the hole up slowly it was one of the many cement blocks that were around. There was no guards around so Levitz lifted it to the side and got out and reached for Cirque who took his hand and lifted her out. She covered the hole and walked over to the building and saw Weiss's window open a couple stories up.

Cirque ushered Levitz close and he did and she stabbed her rapier into the ground and instantly there was pink ice surrounding them in the shape of a flower and began to move upward making it look like it was growing the rooms under Weiss's room were luckily closed and had the curtains drawn and once they reached her room they saw Weiss with her weapon and her room was a mess as if she had been practicing. "Weiss!" Cirque said in a shouting whisper as she jumped into her room and Levitz stepped in and as they left the pink ice flower it shattered to pieces and left no trace of it being there in the first place.

"Cirque what are you doing here?" Weiss said putting her weapon down.

"I heard what happened and rushed over here are you alright?" Cirque asked and Weiss shook her head

"My father stole my next in line and gave it to Whitley."

"I heard that too."

Weiss then looked to Cirque with hopeful eyes. "Remember what you said at the party well I'm planning on leaving and going to see my sister in Mistrel can you help me get there?" Weiss said putting her hands together pleading.

Cirque grabbed her hand and pulled them down. "I told you I will do it for you just got to give me time, here." She said as she placed a small device with a small light on it. "this little button is a short range monitor so I has no need for the CCT just press it when you're ready to leave and I'll have everything ready." Cirque said with a smile as she backed away.

"I can't thank you enough Cirque." Weiss said as Cirque turned around and created the large ice flower. "Having you smile is payment enough." Cirque said not looking at Weiss as Levitz and Cirque stepped onto it and then they went down.

"We could have stayed longer Sole." Levitz said before looking over to Cirque who was now blushing brighter than anything he has ever seen. "Nevermind." He said as he stayed quiet as they snuck out of the area.
