The next time that I spoke with team RNBW they called my phone.

"I thought your Huntsman wouldn't let you call me?" I said, phrasing the statement as a question.

"He wouldn't, but we cleared away all the Grim in that area so we're back at Beacon," Wolf explained.

"Oh really?" I asked in amused tone.

"You sound disappointed," Wolf told me loud enough for his team to hear.

"We miss you too Neo!" Rech called. I chuckled as Wolf complained at her.

"Ouch Recherche, that was in my ear," he pouted.

"Sorry Timber," she apologized.

"Do you have anything new to report?" I asked,  bringing them back on topic. 

"Yeah, I called -"

"We called," Bolt cut in.

"Whatever Bolt. Anyways we called to warn you that a group of Huntresses in training took a job to clear Grim in the ruins of the city above you.

"When?" I asked calmly, but I was worried. We weren't ready yet. We didn't have our next order yet. If we were found, it would be a big problem.

"They should already be there, but in the city above. I dont think they know about the underground. This is just a Grim mission," Wolf replied.

"Neo Neo Neo! Guess what," Recherche cut in eagerly.

"Wolf's ears really are grey and he just dyed them red to mess with me?" I guessed sarcastically.

"Nope," she replied, her lips making a popping noise at the 'p'.

I grinned as I rolled my eyes and asked,  "Then what?"

"There is something else," Nevermora said, speaking over Wolf's shoulder.

"Oh?" I asked calmly, but I wasnt really sure what else I could handle.

"The team that's going is team RWBY, the other team that your had us follow."

I swore mentally. If they found us they could screw everything up.

"Ill take care of it," I said confidently. I would have to. A lot depended on this.

"Do you need me there?" Wolf asked, brecoming serious. He knew exactly the position that I was in.

"No.  I need you to keep an eye on Cinder," I told them.

"Are you sure?"

"I am."

"There's someone coming," I heard Bolt warn.

"We gotta go," Wolf said quickly. "Stay safe."

"You too," I told him. "Don't get caught. Keep your team safe." I hung up the phone quickly before he could say anything more and went to find Roman.

He was outside the train and a girl with a red hood was running away from him in a flurry of rose petals. Roman scoffed at her add she ran.  He flipped his cane,  now holding the end of it add he sent the hook part flying after her. It hooked around her hood and began dragging her back by a chain.

"Let me make this clear," Roman growled at her as she was dragged to his feet. As she was dragged closer I recognised her as Ruby leader of team RWBY, the group of girls that had fought Roman before. "We are not done here." Before he could do our say anything else, an explosion came from the father end of the city.

"Oh what the..." Roman growled angrily.  He turned to one of the three fauness standing next to him and continued. "Perry if you asks the boys could take care of that... kinda in the middle of something. "
