3rd person POV:

Arriving on the roof, less than an hour since they left, Simin and Gerald began a discussion on the White Fang issue.

Simin: Okay, my team might be interested... Some might say extremely enthusiastic about it.

Simin: Give me details and how you know this.

Gerald: Saturday night. The Schnee Warehouse. White Fang are there.

Simin: And here I thought I'd get to relax tomorrow...

Simin:... So if we do this, you owe us, right?

Gerald: Correct.

Simin: Good. Still... Kinda scummy to use others to test your theories.

Simin:(mind) Then again... Who am I, to talk?

Gerald: You and Oscar are second and third-rate huntsmen respectively.

Gerald: These opportunities are what you're good for.

Simin:(chuckles)... Be careful who you say that stuff too. You could get your ass kicked.

Gerald: Heh... I'd like to see that.

The leader of team GOLD left with the shocking reveal to Simin that he can laugh.

Simin: Damn! I should have taken a picture...

(Opening theme)

(The next night)

After accepting this risky mission, team SLVR was out late staking out the Schnee warehouse.

Ragora agreed because she liked the idea of fighting criminals. Vella agreed because she believed it was the right thing to do.

Simin was indifferent, but the only mystery was Lycan, who was eager to battle the White Fang despite his Faunus lineage.

Since learning about them, Lycan had been training to battle them.

Lycan: Rrrr... Are you sure this is the place?

With his partner in one lookout spot, while the other two were somewhere else watching the warehouse, Simin answered Lycan's question.

Simin: This is the place Gerald told me about.

Lycan: We should just bust in and check.

Simin: If we do that with no evidence that White Fang was inside, we can get arrested.

Simin: And since you're a Faunus, and that's a Schnee building, that's not a good idea.

Lycan: So Eff-ing lame!

Simin: Changing the subject... You owe me an explanation on why you really want to face the White Fang.

Lycan: Tch...

Simin: You said you'd tell me. Are you saying that was-

Lycan: I said I would, so I will!

Simin: Well...

Lycan: As a kid... I looked up to the White Fang...

Lycan: I thought they were cool, fighting bad humans... But then, I learned how they're hurting good humans as well...

Lycan: So now, I'm going to beat the crap out of every member of the White Fang and become its new leader!

Simin:... You want to beat up the White Fang then become its new leader?

Lycan: Damn right.

Simin:... You do you, but just remember to follow the plan.

Lycan: What plan?

Simin: Whatever plan I make. Follow it.

Lycan: I'll do whatever I have to.

Simin: Tch... No... You'll follow my plan. I'm not having any of this, "going rogue" crap.

Simin: Especially since that should be my style.

Lycan:...

With binoculars, Simin scanned through the area and found another person in the distance scanning through the area with binoculars.

The two then saw each other with binoculars.

Simin:...

Simin: Lycan, if TV hasn't thought you anything then maybe life will.

Simin: I'm leaving you in charge. Let's see if you can actually be a leader.

Lycan: Where are you going?

Simin: I need to check who else is spying on the warehouse.

Handing him the binoculars, Simin began leaving, after telling Vella and Ragora about Lycan.

Lycan: Alright, here we go.

Crow: Caw.

He turned to see a crow standing on one of the containers which were stacked all over the bay, and which Lycan stood upon one of the highly stacked ones.

Lycan:...

Crow: Caw.

Lycan:(dumbs up)

Simin walked through the maze of containers towards where he saw the man watching the area like him and his team.

Simin:(mind) Don't tell me the cops actually knew about this warehouse thing...

Simin:(mind) Ugh, that would be such a pain...

Finding the container the man stood on, Simin carefully climbed it to find that they were already gone.

Simin:...

Scanning over the area, Simin found an arrow engraved into the side of the container pointing away from the warehouse.

Simin:(mind) A hot object caused this... Fire dust... Maybe a semblance if it's an aura user.

Turning in the direction of the arrow, Simin quickly noticed another arrow.

Subsequently, Simin began following the arrow trails, until he was led to a quiet area far from the warehouse.

Simin: Hello?

Above him, Simin heard feet stepping on the container. Looking up, he saw a man who stood in front of the moon.

The light from the moon masked the man in shadows making it difficult for Simin to make out any details of the man.

Simin: Howdy stranger. Do you always introduce yourself so dramatically?

Simin: I got to admit, you look pretty cool with the moon behind you, but I don't get the point.

???:.... Simin, it's been a while.

Simin:?

The voice was familiar, however, Simin couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Usually, his memory was impeccable, however, Simin gave himself a break since he wasn't the most social person in the past.

Simin: You know my name, lovely. Sadly, it seems I forgot yours.

Simin: Maybe a look at your face will jog it?

???:... I'm honestly quite upset at that response.

???: But it is what it is... I shouldn't expect more from a despicable being like yourself.

Simin: Despicable? Okay, you're clearly confusing me with some other Simin, because that is not at all how I'd describe myself.

???: Then what would you describe yourself as? God?

Simin:(glares)...

Simin: My neck hurts, so you mind getting down here?

(CRASH)

Simin:!?

In the distance, there was a loud crash, followed by gunshots.

Simin:(mind) Lycan went wild, didn't he?

Simin:!

Realizing he had looked away from the mysterious stranger, Simin turned back to discover he had left.

Simin: Eh... I have more important things to do.

He rushes back to his team.

(A few minutes ago...)

Lycan overlooked the Schnee warehouse, with his little crow pal that wouldn't leave him alone.

The large doors then were opened, and Lycan saw many White Fang members.

But he kept his cool, knowing that he had two team members to use strategically.

As he ordered Vella and Ragora to sneak up from the back, Lycan waited until they got in position.

He waited until he saw someone he recognized.

Lycan: Adam...

(Flashback)

(Splat)

Lycan:!?!

Blood dripped onto a younger Lycan's head as a young man, the same age as him, stood over the young Lycan with a sword dug deep into his shoulder.

The young man raised his hand with a struggle, smiled at Lycan, and gave him a dumbs up.

(Flashback end)

Lycan: Tch! IT'S ON! ADAM!!

Crow: Caw, caw!

Lycan leaped off the container he was on, down towards the White Fang grunts and Adam.

His aura on, Lycan threw several daggers towards Adam who easily deflected the daggers thanks to Lycan screaming as he fell down.

(CRASH)

Adam hopped back, avoiding Lycan's heavy landing that shattered the pavement below him.

Ragora:(coms) Oi! Lycan! What the hell was that!?

Ignoring Ragora, Lycan pointed at Adam.

Lycan: Adam! I'm going to kick your ass!

Adam:...(sigh)

The White Fang raised their guns at Lycan, but Adam stopped them.

Adam: Don't waste your bullets on him. I'll handle him.

With that, the White Fang members retreated back, as Adam with his sword sheathed approached Lycan.

Adam: How many times will you challenge me?

Lycan: Until I beat you into submission!

(Lycan theme)

Popping out his dagger claws, Lycan charged towards Adam, who pulled a trigger on his scabbard, which launched his sword, hilt first, at Lycan.

Flipping over the blade, Lycan swung down both his claws after he used his afterimage semblance to launch himself straight towards Adam who rolled to the side, to avoid the attack.

Turning to Adam, Lycan rushed towards his opponent who raised their scabbard and fired at the young Huntsman.

(Bang)

(Bang)

(Bang)

Lycan raised his claws to block the bullets, not allowing himself to be stopped.

Getting close, Lycan swung at Adam who blocked with his scabbard, then threw a punch to Lycan's face which knocked him back.

Adam was then met with a roundhouse kick to the side of his head by Lycan's afterimage.

Recovering quickly, Adam went to retrieve his sword, with Lycan following his prey with a vicious glare.

Nearing his blade, Adam went to grab it, but his hand was knocked away by a dagger.

Adam: Tch!

Lycan then neared Adam, throwing a flurry of swing at the White Fang leader who interrupted his combo with several shots of his gun.

(Bang)

(Bang)

Flipping over Lycan, Adam finally grabbed his blade, turned around, and swung it down on Lycan who crossed his claws and blocked the hit.

(Clang)

Adam: Huh... You've really improved.

(BOOM)

Lycan/Adam:??

Several White Fang members went flying as Ragora exploded onto the scene.

Vella then followed, flipping through several White Fang members, kicking them as she passed.

Ragora: Freaking idiot! What happened to the plan!?

Lycan: The plan changed!

Pushing away Adam's blade, Lycan tried punching him, only to be kicked back.

Adam was then met with Lycan's afterimage which he blocked the attack with his sword.

When Simin arrived on the battlefield he found it in complete chaos.

With the White Fang being ambushed from the side, several of the members began panicking and retreated in fear of more huntsman arriving.

Those that stayed were being dealt with Vella and Ragora.

After some evidence gathering, Simin joined the fight, focusing on Adam who could make the loss of the White Fang who escaped, worth it, if they captured him.

Adam swung down his blade towards a dazed Lycan.

(Clang)

The attack was blocked by an ice shield.

Simin: Judging by your look, you read tons of abuse and neglected male reader stories, am I right?

Pushing back Adam, the mechanism on Simin's back changed to the red orb.

Making a flaming broadsword, Simin and Adam clashed for a few swings until Simin jumped back, spun around, and threw his blade towards Adam.

(Kabooom)

The blade exploded upon impact with Adam's.

Next to his partner, Simin held him back from charging towards Adam.

Simin: I'm beginning to see why you weren't made leader.

Lycan: I have to kick his ass!

Simin: We'll do it together.

Lycan: I don't need help!

Simin: Too bad, you're getting it. You can either cry about it or accept it.

Lycan:...

Simin: Vella! Ragora! Ignore those guys! Help us out here!

Adam, seeing he was about to get outnumbered, attempted to escape.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a glyph on a container.

Vella then flew across the air towards that glyph as she shot at Adam.

Ragora who flew from above on her familiar semblance, leaped down, shooting at Adam as she fell.

Team SLVR now surrounded the most wanted member of the White Fang.

Simin: Vella, bombard him with shots until his aura breakfast.

Vella: You got it!

(Bang)²

Simin: Ragora, Lycan put pressure on him.

Ragora: Sure.

Lycan: Let's go!

As Adam deflected the bullets from Vella, Ragora swung her axe horizontally at Adam who jumped over it, only to be smacked down by Lycan.

Getting hit with more shots that dwindled his aura, Adam tried to keep moving but team SLVR's heavy hitters kept close and attacked relentlessly, showing off the power and skill of the second-place team of Beacon.

Adam held back from killing Lycan due to him being a Faunus like him, but against Ragora, he had no problem with killing her.

With the kinetic energy, he had stored up in his blade, Adam prepared to perform his infamous "Moonslash" on Ragora.

Simin:(mind) Predictable.

Sliding in front of Ragora, Simin, with his jacket projecting wind dust, threw his Hurricane lance at Adam's feet.

It exploded into a sudden expansion of air which threw Adam into the air, causing him to miss his attack.

Simin: Let's wrap this up- hm?

A Bullhead speeded across the air.

Adam was then caught by someone leaning out the side of the aircraft before he could fall back down and get captured by team SLVR.

Adam: You...

???: You're going have to tell me right here and now, whether or not you'll do business with me.

He asked as Adam dangled off the side of the Bullhead.

Adam: Tch... Fine!

He was pulled into the Bullhead.

Simin and the rest of team SLVR then caught a good glimpse of this man that saved Adam, after Vella fired at him, and he raised his sword to block the attack.

(The Charcoal gentleman: Brandon Charbonneau)

Simin:...

Simin took a picture of him.

Brandon:....(tilts fedora)

The Bullhead leaves.

Lycan: Who was that guy?!

Simin: No idea... But I can't help but to think I've seen him before... Hmm...

(Later....)

The police arrived and managed to arrest the White Fang members Vella and Ragora knocked out, and even most of the ones who escaped.

However, a large sum of Dust had gone missing, more than the White Fang members claimed to have taken.

Luckily, the younger White Fang members confess quite quickly to team SLVR about the location of any safehouses and other plans they might have had.

With that information, Simin was able to save him and his team from any scolding from the authorities.

But the moment of truth laid with when Simin alone stood in front of the Headmaster who with an annoyed gaze at being woken up in the middle of the night heard his story.

Simin: So to sum it all up, I and my team were doing some late-night bonding in the city when we noticed this White Fang member enter a warehouse.

Glynda: After seeing it was a Schnee building, you decide to stake it out, correct?

Simin:(nods)

Simin: When a bunch of White Fang came out, we just had to stop them.

Glynda: I see...

Glynda:(exacerbated sigh)...

Simin:(mind) That ain't good...

Simin: Though we may have not captured Adam... We did learn the face of someone helping him.

Glynda:...

Glynda: You and your team did well. But you still have much to learn.

Glynda: But given your team's age, grade, and experience... And the outcome of the incident...

Glynda: Your team will be awarded points. That is what you wanted to know, correct?

Simin: I simply wanted to know if we were in trouble or not.

Glynda: Is that so? Anyhow, you may go and get some rest.

Simin: Thank you, headmaster.

Leaving, Simin entered the dorm to find his team waiting for him.

Simin:?

Lycan: So? What happened? Did we get in trouble?

Lycan: We got in trouble, didn't we? Oh, man... I'm sorry everyone, I'll go talk to the headmaster and make her blame me!

Simin: Calm down. We're not in trouble. We actually got points.

Vella: Whoo!

SLR:?

Vella: Sorry...Was this not a "Whoo" moment?

Simin: It's okay. You can whoo, just be considerate for our neighbors.

Lycan: If everything's okay... Then let's get ready to search for Adam and that fedora dude!

Simin: No.

Lycan: Huh?!

Simin: With how you lost your cool, I'm not interested in wasting time in trying to find someone only for you to do it again.

Taking off his jacket, he tosses it onto the workstation in the middle of the room.

Jumping onto his bed, Simin laid down and relaxed.

Simin: Besides, I did this for a favor from Gerald. This is no longer my problem...

(Slam)

Opening his eyes, Simin finds Lycan bowing, with his head against the floor.

Lycan: I'm sorry... I'll do better!

Simin: Good.

Lycan: But could you still please help me?

Lycan: I've never gotten that close to beating him before. At least until I get strong enough to do it on my own, would you please help me!

Lycan: I need to beat him, it's part of my dream!

Vella: I'll help!

SLR:?

Vella: I came to this school so I could help people. That includes fighting bad apples like the White Fang.

Ragora:... I guess I'm in as well.

SLV:?

Ragora: Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing it for Vomit boy, I just like beating up criminals.

Ragora: It's a nice change of pace from stupid Grimm.

Simin:...

Simin:(mind) I should have predicted this....

Simin:...

Simin:(mind) I would be lying if I wasn't curious about my connection with that fedora guy... I feel like I know him, but can't quite put my finger on it...

Simin: So not only do you guys want to become the first rank team, you want to dabble in crime-fighting?

LVR: Basically...

Simin:(sigh)...

Simin: Alright. But Lycan...

Lycan: Hm?

Simin: Since it's thanks to Vella and Ragora we didn't get punished, you're doing all their chores for the rest of the month.

Ragora: Yes!

Lycan: What!? Ugh! Fine...

Ragora: What about you Simin? You kinda left your post.

Simin: Because of me, we got points. So I've broken even.

Ragora: You should still treat us to pizza.

Vella: Stuffed crust!

Simin:(chuckles)... If you let me sleep, we'll go out tomorrow.

Ragora: We'll hold you to that.

The team, with a job arguably well done, went to sleep.
