Briefing Room, Military Base

Lily and her team are the only people in the room having briefing moments for the next mission. They were given a briefing by an American-Chinese male four star general named Robert Zhang. A respectable man and serious matter when it comes to important tasks to defend the nation and its people from serious threats. He's discussing them as he said for the briefing.

Robert Zhang: Listen up, Patriots. You're the only team to be part of this secret mission. There is a very group of White Fang under Adam Taurus leadership gathering recruits to their cause. We also learn that there's two humans involved working for the White Fang.

Mark: Whoa, whoa, there sir. Humans? I thought White Fang hates Humans.

Lily: They must've needed someone who knows many things. They said they hate humans, but have humans work for them. Now that is hypocritical.

Claire: True for that, girl.

Robert Zhang: Alright, here's how the mission goes. I want to find and sabotage their operations before they have enough numbers to follow a terrorist group before they even start it. It's located in Vale so tonight they are going to have a meeting and you are going there.

Lily: Blend in?

Robert Zhang: Yes. Blend in. The OFI already had a building for covert missions and it was used as an OFI secret outpost. Perseus Corporation will also be part of it so consider a joint operation between Perseus PMC and Military.

Mark: So Perseus Corporation is joining this too, huh? I wonder if Mr. Liones wanted to be involved?

Diego: He has his own reason.

Lily: When do we leave?

Robert Zhang: Today. We already pack up your things and equipment into Raven dropship to send to Vale Kingdom. You have 5 minutes to be prepared. Once you're there, you may start the mission tonight.

Lily: Understood, sir. We'll be ready tonight for a mission.

Robert Zhang: Excellent to hear, Specialist Long. Dismissed.

They all stand up and leave the room to be prepared for deportation to Vale Kingdom for covert mission.

Outside the Beacon Academy

Blake was walking around trying to get the call from her father on the scroll of what was happening to Menagerie and almost declared war on Atlas for an unjustified attack.

Blake: Come on, come on, pick it up!

Scroll AI: Sorry, the number you called hasn't responded. Please try again.

Blake: Damn it.

She was irritated. She tried calling him again, but never responded. Ruby and the others saw her and went up there.

Ruby: Blake! You alright?

Blake: No, I am not. It's just... it just doesn't make sense at all.

Yang: Well, everything doesn't make sense anyways.

Weiss: Not helping, Yang.

Blake: I just don't remember Menagerie becoming like a kingdom. All they wanted was to be left alone. But I can't imagine they become... that.

Pyrrha: I really don't know what changed Menagerie, but we couldn't figure it out.

Jaune: Not to mention that Atlas picked the fight with Menagerie and they just lost!

Ren: I just have a bad feeling that peace between them won't be long before they retaliate.

Blake: I hope so.

Sun: Say, I've heard his last name Belladonna. Do you think that he's related to you?

She sighs.

Blake: Yes, Sun. You can say I am his daughter.

Yang: Whoa! Shocking. That makes you what? A princess?

Blake: Please do not call me that.

Neptune: Well anyway, have you called him yet?

Blake: I'm not sure... I've never spoken to them since... you know, complicated reasons...

Neptune: Ah. Gotcha.

Ruby: I'm sure they are fine after that. Just hope they won't get hurt or something.

Blake: Yeah... I hope so...

...

Lily and her team enter the Vale kingdom using stealth technology on the Raven dropship as they drop them off. They wear casual clothes to blend in foreign land to avoid being suspicious. They have their luggages to have their clothes, but they also hide their weapons to keep out of the public eye as well as the Atlesian security force since they came for the Vytal Festival event upcoming soon.

They are in the city looking around so beautifully and there are people minding their own business. They even take pictures of everything they see, including the CCT. They avoid getting attention from Vale police, huntsmen, or Atlesian soldiers patrolling the area.

They made it to the destination to the medium size building where OFI had established there. They follow a man leading them to the basement and he presses the big button to open the hidden walls revealing to be an elevator. They went down to the underground facility run by OFI group along with Perseus Corp. forces for joint cooperation. They meet the leader of this place and they give them rooms to be standby for tonight's mission.

They are in the cafeteria getting food and going to the table and eating their food. While they are eating food, Mark says to them.

Mark: You know, this is the first time coming to Vale in my life. I mean, do you see those buildings and futuristic stuff? They would advance their technology to this kingdom.

Diego: But they never reach the same level as we have back in our country. Especially corrupt politicians that are unable to change due to greed and keep on power.

Claire: That's how politics works. It is just like what happens to other governments that have gone corrupt because of their greed. That includes other Earth countries that some become corrupted and bring their own nation's economies to ruin and poverty spreads rampant.

Mark: Don't forget that the United States government is corrupted under oligarchy and ended up in the 2nd American Revolution.

Lily: We really don't want to talk about that. That event has become a past and it will never happen again as long as they are people who have common sense and do great use for the nation and its people, not their self-interests.

Claire: Amen for that, girl.

Diego: Anyway, remember why we are here.

Lily: Yeah. We find White Fang secret base, sabotage the recruitment, and capture two collaborated humans. Diego, what do we know about them?

Diego looked up on his wrist device to search for two people working for White Fang and said to them.

Diego: According to this, these two people working for White Fang are Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan. Roman is a male and Neopolitan is a female. He doesn't have a semblance, yet he is a formidable fighter. Meanwhile, his henchwoman, Neapolitan, does have semblance which allows to create physical illusions to be seen by everyone. She also makes an illusion by shattering glass that can use to escape for advantage.

Lily: I see... We have to be cautious and be ready when engaging them in the mission, got it?

Her team nodded their leader.

Lily: Good. In the meantime, let's do training for a while and rest before tonight's mission.

After they finished eating their food, they left the cafeteria and went to the training room to increase their strength, speed, agility, and use their semblances for good use.

...

Few Hours Later

Night Time, Vale Kingdom

Lily and her friends have dressed up and embarked on a mission. The OFI agent has information that the White Fang are gathering recruits at the warehouse, and the two main targets are inside.

They were on the rooftop, hidden in the darkness by the night as they descended to the warehouse.

They are on the roof of this White Fang location as their operation is about to begin.

Lily: Okay, we've got Perseus soldiers and OFI Black-Ops surrounding them. They are prepared to strike if we do not engage first. An OFI agent disguised as a White Fang member is planning to turn off the power. Is everyone prepared?

Mark: Ready for combat!

Claire: Field Medic Specialist is ready.

Diego: Field Specialist, ready.

Lily: Okay. Wait for my signal... Wait...

As she's waiting, the room suddenly turns dark and everyone is confused about what's happening.

Lily: Now!

She said this while bursting through the window and engaging the enemy. Perseus and OFI black-ops entered using night vision. The White Fangs draw their weapons to engage the enemy while the recruits panic and run around or flee the building, where they will be apprehended by Perseus and Black-Ops outside.

WF grunt 1: What the hell!

WF grunt 2: What's happening to the lights?

Roman: Stop them now!

Lily: Get'em!

Meanwhile, Blake and Sun, who are wearing White Fang masks, have no idea what's going on or what just happened. Although Blake has night vision due to her cat ability, she sees unknown soldiers engaging in combat and lethally dispatching White Fang grunts, as well as Mark fighting a WF Lieutenant with his great axe. She has no idea who or where they are, but they have seen Roman Goes in the Atlesian Paladin as he activates it.

Sun: Ah Blake, what's going on?

Blake: Don't know, but we cannot let him get away!

Claire finished the White Fang grunt when she noticed Blake and Sun exiting the window, and the Roman piloting Atlesian Paladin chased them outside.

Claire: Lily! The main target is getting away!

Lily: Specialist Team, on me!

She stated this after she knocked out an adversary and they exited the building. Because they are so far away, it is advantageous that they have assault hoverbikes in case the enemy manages to flee using any vehicle. They get on it and ride after them.

...

CCT Tower

Weiss Schnee goes out the elevator after she gets what she's needed when she hears Blake and Sun speaking on the Scroll.

Blake (on scroll): Everyone! If you hear this, please-

Sun (on scroll): HEEEELP!

She rolled out her eyes and went to help them nonetheless.

...

Ruby Rose escapes the dumpster after Penny throws her in after discovering she is an android, and she then hears Blake and Sun speaking from the scroll.

Sun (on scroll): He got a robot, and it's big, really big!

Ruby: Oh I am not gonna miss this!

She went out to their location to save them from Roman Torchwick.

...

Yang and Neptune are riding on the motorcycle after questioning Junior about Roman's whereabouts, but he has no information. They heard Sun shouting on the scroll.

Sun (on scroll): The Torchwick guy in it, but not like, it's eating him, he's like controlling it or something.

Yang: Where are you guys?

They turned around to hear Sun's screams as they saw Blake and Sun fleeing from Torchwick, who was piloting the robot that was chasing them, and then they saw four Patriot Specialists riding hoverbikes pursue him.

Neptune: I think that was them.

Yang: Yeah, got it.

She spins around her motorcycle and goes toward them to engage.

...

Lily and her team smash through the barrier and land on the highway road, where they see Torchwick chasing them and wrecking the car in his path.

Diego: I see him and they engage the kids.

Mark: Wait, the kids are involved too?

Lily: Mark, keep your mouth shut! Delta Specialist, engage the target while avoiding civilian vehicles and young hunters.

Claire: On it!

They opened fire on Torchwick's in the back because it was causing some damage.

Roman: Who the hell are those guys? I'm guessing they're the ones responsible, but I'm going to kill them anyway.

He turns around and fires rockets at them before continuing to run after them.

Diego: Incoming!

They flee from rockets because they can hit them anywhere and cause them to explode. Yang and Neptune catch up to them when they notice four hoverbikers chasing Torchwick.

Neptune: H-Hey! Who are those guys?

Yang: Don't know! Definitely not White Fang or Atlas. Let's ask 'em.

She rushes forward and approaches Mark, her gaze fixed on the main target when she says to him.

Yang: Hey you!

Mark: Huh?

He looks at them next to him. They can tell he's a boy even though they can't see his face because he's wearing a helmet.

Mark: Wha- What are you guys doing this late?

Yang: I'm wondering the same thing as you: What's the occasion?

Mark: Oh, yeah, chasing that guy inside that robot.

Yang: I enjoy asking multiple questions, but how about teamwork? What do you think?

Mark: Hmm? Is there an option? That's alright with me. I can tell you're a huntress, so let's deal with that guy problem.

Yang: Sure thing. Neptune.

Neptune nodded and shot Torchwick in the back. Irradiated by those people, he wrecked every car he could find in order to retaliate.

Mark: Shit!

To avoid being hit, Mark and Yang dodge those flying cars. Mark informs his team about making deals with young huntresses.

Mark: Hey guys, that teenage girl that becomes a huntress says we should team up with that robot.

Claire: What! We can't join forces with them, Mark! They might start questioning us about our origins and how we are related to Menagerie.

Diego: Not unless we make a break, whether we capture Torchwick or not.

Lily: It's better than ever before. We'll have kids to help us until we have Torchwick and Neopolitan under our custody. Help them stop that robot.

Mark: Got it!

Meanwhile, Neptune switches from Tri-Hard gun mode to trident mode as he leaps out and stabs the robot's head, but it is ineffective. Sun comes to a halt on top of the truck, seeing his friend clinging to life after being shaken off by the robot.

Sun: Neptune, hang on!

He stated. He uses his resemblance to summon three clones to engage the robot. Sun Wukong approaches it after it is hit three times. Unfortunately, Neptune was let go and collided with Sun Wukong as they fell off the road to the opposite side.

Mark: Oh shit!

Lily: Don't worry about them. They have auras. They'll be fine.

Blake was on top of a truck as she heard Weiss calling to her through a scroll.

Weiss (on scroll): Blake! I'm in position!

Weiss jumped out and landed in the middle of a road, then used ice dust to create an ice floor, causing Torchwick, who was inside a mech robot, to slip and fall out of the road. Ruby and the others go down to confront him, and Lily's team decides to jump out of the road to pursue him all the way to the bottom.

Lily's team landed on the ground and went somewhere to park their vehicles before meeting up with Team RWBY to confront him.

Mark: Hey.

Weiss: So I'm guessing you're also coming after him?

Diego: A good guess.

Blake: Hold on! Just who are you people?

Lily: Can we discuss this later? We're going to have to fight this guy.

Yang: No argument here. Because I'm about to kick his butt with my fists!

She ready her Ember Celica loading her shotgun shells.

Mark: I agree more.

He draws his weapon as everyone else draws theirs, preparing for a fight. Torchwick's Atlesian Paladin menacingly ready to face them. He starts moving, ready to fight. Ruby made a first move.

Ruby: Freezerburn!

Everyone scattered, leaving Yang and Weiss in the positions as Yang goes up in the air while Weiss uses her semblance to create a large ice floor then Yang uses her weapon to fire on the ice floor, creating the smoke to blind Torchwick.

Torchwick uses a targeting laser to find them in thick smoke. As he was looking for them, he was suddenly attacked by Mark coming out from the smoke to hit him with his Great Axe. Torchwick takes damage but less effectively as Mark falls back to the smoke from Torchwick's main cannon attacks. He continues firing everything in the surroundings when Ruby comes out and attacks a mech robot with her scythe then Blake and Weiss come and give him a bit of damage from their attacks. When Torchwick is going to stomp on Blake with his foot, Weiss uses her glyph underneath Blake as she jumps away in time before he stomps her. He gets angry as he fires rockets at them, but he makes a mistake as Diego fires repulsor gauntlets to destroy rocket launcher pads. Lily with her speed movement ran towards Torchwick with her laser sword to cut down a left leg, causing him to lose balance and fall down on the ground.

Torchwick: Wha- What!?

Everyone regroups together to see Torchwick is on the ground so Yang steps in and brings up her shotgun gauntlet with her smirk. She fires fireball shotgun shells at Atlesian Paladin few times it explodes and Torchwick was bounce out since his aura saves him from get scratched

Roman: Just got this thing cleaned!

He calmly irradiated, brushing off his clothing. Yang fires at him when suddenly, Neo comes in and protects him with her umbrellas as a shield to block her attack. After that, Torchwick just said to his enemies.

Roman: Ladies, Ice Queen, and... whoever you guys are.

Weiss: Hey!

Roman: Always pleasu-

Without a hesitation, Diego quickly throws a strange disk device on the ground, sliding towards them. Roman and Neo look down, confused about what it is.

Roman: What did you just thro-

Suddenly, a disk device activates stun electrocution on both of them. That device is called a stun disk. Its device was made by Diego to stun enemies by throwing at them or sliding on the floor or ground to stun them unexpectedly.

Lily made contact to pick them up at her location before she and the others went to them. They are still unconscious so they put them on cuffs, which it restrain them from having both using aura and semblances. After that, they are going to wait for their ride, but they notice that young huntresses are still here and they are going to be ready if things go south.

Yang: Okay, now that's over, let's talk about you guys.

Mark: Welp, we know what will happen next.

Diego: Indeed.

Weiss: Now then, just who are you guys-

She is going to ask them a question when Ruby just swoops in with her semblance as she shows fascination and awe of their amazing weapons. Her eyes sparkles acting like a child and she's also jaw-dropping about it.

Ruby: OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!!!ILOVEYOURWEAPONS!SOAMAZINGWEAPONS,YOUGOTTHERE!

Lily: Wha- What? I really don't understand what you are saying?

Yang: Don't worry about her. She's very obsessed with weapons and such, and she seems to like your weapons.

Lily: Uh... Thanks?

Weiss: Ruby, come back here!

Ruby: But Weiss-

Weiss: Now, Ruby!

Ruby: Okay...

She said in a sad expression and went back to her others.

Weiss: Now, anyway, who really are you guys?

Lily: That is classified. We are on a mission to apprehend these guys. They are well-connected to the White Fangs.

Weiss: Mission? Are you from Atlas? You don't look like one.

Mark: Ha! Like hell we are working for Atlas after what they did to Menagerie and the people. And I can tell, you are a Schnee, right?

Weiss: Well, yes I am. I am indeed a Schnee from a Schnee Fami-

Claire: A family who owns a Dust company consisting of Faunus slave workers forcing them to work. Your reputation seems good for you, especially your family.

Weiss: Hey!

Lily: Leave her alone. I highly doubt we believe us coming from a Schnee like her.

Weiss: Why, how dar-

Blake: Hey!

She interrupts Weiss as they look at her as she confronts them for questioning.

Blake: Are you the ones related to what is happening to Menagerie?

Mark: The Republic of Menagerie? Sure, we are. We just help them by joining together through corporations and that's all. We just gave them something that kingdoms have failed to give them more than a deserted island.

Ruby: So you really are the ones helping the Menagerie from Atlas, right?

Diego: That's right.

Blake: But it doesn't make sense! Menagerie wanted to be left alone and never do anything.

Lily: It's better to help them to be a better nation than other kingdoms like this one; Vale.

Yang: So, just asking for this one, if you are not from Atlas then who are you guys?

Before they could answer their questions, two Raven dropships arrived to pick them up. One dropship is for Lily and the others while the other one to get those hoverbikes inside. Seeing they have arrived in time, they decide to stop answering their questions and go inside the dropship. But Team RWBY haven't got their answers yet so they are going to stop them.

Blake: Hey! We're not done yet!

Lily: Sorry, but we have a mission to accomplish and you are not going to stop us.

Yang: Oh yeah? What is stopping us from stopping you?

Lily: This.

She replied, throwing two flashbacks at them as it exploded, blinding them. After that, Team RWBY clear their visions, but they see them already gone.

Yang: Well, there goes chance of asking questions.

Weiss: But we now know they are the ones related to Menagerie becoming so-called republic.

Blake: But we still don't know who they are, and what are they planning?

Yang: Um, Blake, I think it's best to head back. We failed to capture Roman and his henchman.

Ruby: Uh, don't you mean henchwoman?

Yang: Eh, whatever. Same thing. Come on, let's get Sun and Neptune and head back to Beacon.

Blake looks at the sky wanting to know more about them, but Yang is right so she decides to give up as she sighs and goes back to the Beacon. Although she can't get her mind off of those people wearing very strange advanced suits. Soon, she will finding out who they are, one way or another.
