A/N Hello after the month of hiatus! We're getting back with Vol 8! Hope you guys didn't miss this book so much. Anyway...

Let's get started!

Happy birthday, Blake!

*(Y/N) POV*

I'm after the ride in those tubes, still awaiting for Ruby to arrive. Sam and Weiss are currently delivering punishment to Nora. Weiss tugs her ear while Sam gives Nora a noodige.

Nora: "Ow, ow, ow! C'mon, that was a once in a lifetime experience!"

Sam: "You could at least give Weiss some time to get ready, Nora"

Nora: "Ow. Okay, I get it" Weiss releases her ear and Sam stops his doing too"

(Y/N): "Okay, who is still missing? Ruby..." The sound of something going up the tube stops and the tube's entrance opens up, with Ruby inside "Petals, you good?"

Ruby: "Ugh, I think I'm gonna be sick..." I help her stand

Y/N: "So, the only one left is Blake" Again, the sound of something coming up the tubes stops and Blake comes from the entrance, with her hair all messy

Blake: "I for sure would NEVER want to do that again" she fixes her hair

(Y/N): "Okay, everyone is here. We can go" I get in front and lead our group through the compound

May: "Alright, Robo-girl, you're up. Which way to the terminal?" Penny looks up and scans the building

Penny: "We'll cross the bridge, then go left, straight, right, straight, left, up, up, right, straight, right, right, straight, left, left" she pointed every direction while saying this. We all look stunned at her "And my name... is Penny" I smirk and Ruby crosses her arm, smiling slyly at May

Ruby: "Heh"

(Y/N): "Penny one, May zero" May clicks her tongue

May: "Tsk..." she activates her semblance, creating an invisible bubble hiding us all. We move through the room and after a few minutes, we board the elevator. Nothing happens most of our way up, just us eight, standing and listening to elevator music. That's until it stops on one floor. We gasp and step back as two Atlas soldiers enter the elevator. Even if they can't see us, they still can hear us

Soldier #1: "I don't think even the squad captain knows what's going on up there. They can't get close to that storm without getting shocked right out of the air"

Soldier #2: "It's creepy, all those Grimm just... waiting. Worse than if they'd attacked-"

Soldier #1: "Hey, don't say that! You'll jinx us"

Soldier #2: "Well, hopefully, the C.O. will have some answers for us soon before something happens. We just have to be patient, ready, and wait for our next orders"

We take this opportunity to sneak by while the doors are still open. Nora being Nora just had to hit all the floor buttons on our way out. One soldier notices this, but can't do anything before the doors close on them. We move through the corridor towards the next door. This one requires a security clearance. Thankfully, Penny pops out a plug from her index finger, much to Ruby's surprise, and using Pietro's security clearance codes, opens the door for us to move on

Sam: "Alright, we've made it this far. Where to go next, Penny?" Penny points to the right

Penny: "We go right through the central command"

The doors to the central command open to reveal a shitton of Atlas soldiers and personnel

Weiss: "Of course"
