Vergil: "How do you know that name!?" Vergil angrily asks V as he summons himself.

V: "Before I became a Counselor, you know me as I researched much about the war between the Underworld. When you and Dante went to slay the demon lords, Mundus was one of those lords. So that power surge that was felt yesterday was no coincidence, was it? Now, is he still alive?"

Falke: "Yeah, he is."

Ruby: "Uhh...who's this Mundus guy?"

Vergil: "He is the Ruler of the Underworld at the current moment and the one that attacked you and Qrow."

Ruby: "Oh. Well, at least you beat him, right?"

Falke: "I only managed to beat him back, but that was because I caught him off guard. I doubt if we face off again, I'll get so lucky. But, here's what I don't understand. Dante said you and him killed all the Demon lords, but he's clearly alive. So what happened?"

Vergil: " *Long Sigh* When Dante...was slain, it was by Mundus's hand. He tried to stab me, but Dante ended up shielding me, sacrificing himself. He did so in the hopes that I'd be able to finish Mundus, but that wasn't the case. Mundus had been watching the fight to preserve his strength, so when he made his move, he was still at full strength while I wasn't. I barely managed to make it out of there with Dante, resorting to caving in the castle they were using at the time. I'd hoped that would crush Mundus, but I was wrong."

Ruby: "Man. That must've been pretty scary."

V: "I see. *sigh* Very well then. I shall leave you alone about it, but I suggest that you inform Dante of this. After that, you two are free to return to your teams." He turns and walks off as Griffon flies after him.

Falke: "Well. I wish you luck explaining this whole thing to Yang, sis."

Ruby: "Good luck with Pyrrha, big bro." They both split off to head back to their team's dorms.

As Falke walks into his team's dorm room, he instantly has to dodge an oncoming book. 

Falke: "What the hell!?" Being stopped in his tracks as he received a slap to the face from Pyrrha.

Nero: "Ooooooh. That's gotta hurt."

Pyrrha: "How dare you leave for a whole week?! Do you have any idea how worried I was?! I was crying for hours thinking you were missing or worse!"

Nero: "It's true, really dramatic."

Pyrrha: "Quiet you!" Turning towards Nero in her Devil Trigger

Dante: "Damn, Pyrrha. You don't need to get so worked up."

Pyrrha: "That goes for you as well!"

Dante & Nero: "Yes, mam."

Pyrrha: "And you-" Her yelling being silenced as Falke caught her lips with his own. Their tounges dance together in synchronized harmony.

Falke: Breaking the kiss. "Gods, I missed you so much."

Pyrrha: Heavily breathing as her face is visibly red. "You two. Out."

Nero: "What? Where the hell am I supposed to sleep." 

Not receiving an answer, Nero trudges out of the room while Dante rolls his eyes and disappears. As the couple embraced each other again, they would spend the rest of the night...'together'.

The two would wake up the following day as they heard the intercom in their dorm go off.

Intercom: "Would Team NFP please report to Headmaster Theodore's office."

Falke: " *Yawn* Alright, honey. Time to wake up." Nudging Pyrrha as she stirs in her sleep as she is currently lying on his chest.

Nero: Walking into the room. "Hey, did you hear we need to-Oh! Clothes! Clothes! Get some damn clothes on! What the hell is wrong with you two?!" Turning away as the two of them failed to cover themselves after the night prior.

Several Minutes Later

The three wait outside the office of the headmaster in their full combat gear. Nero is double-checking his revolver, Blue Rose, while Falke and Pyrrha sit with one another, having a small chat.

Nero: "Still can't believe you two decided to have sex. Again!"

Pyrrha: "Oh, calm down, Nero. Besides the way you and Blake are going, you'll be doing it every night."

Nero: "Please stop." The other two chuckle as the door to the office opens, revealing V.

V: "You two can come in now. Don't mind me; I was just leaving."

The three head into the office to see Theodore sitting in his office chair, going over some notes V had left for him.

Theodore: "Ah, Team NFP, it's good to see you all in good health. I have a mission for you today. It involves a future member of your team."

Falke: "Oh yay. Another to add to this crazy bunch."

Theodore: "He goes by the name of Ace. He usually runs solo ops per his request but unfortunately, since the destruction of Beacon and now Atlas. I believe it's time for him to become part of a team for his safety."

Nero: "Wait! You mean 'The Ace'?"

Pyrrha: "You know him?"

Nero: "Know him? Ace is probably the best first-year huntsman on the planet. The amount legends about him are crazy."

Theodore: "Yes. He has garnered quite the fan base, as you can see. He recently went out on a Recon Mission to oversee Grimm horde movements as is standard protocol. I want you to head out there to his location and help him complete the mission. Then bring him back here so he can be properly brought into your team. Can I count on you to get the mission done and bring Ace home?"

Nero: "Consider it done."

Theodore: "Good. While I wish I never had to do this, he insisted he'd only do it if he was with your group. I managed to get Ky Summers to act as your team's transportation. Counselor V spoke highly of all three of you and insisted that I permit you access to a dedicated transport ship. When I declined, he brought up Ky...and well, you can imagine my thoughts on the matter. But if your team succeeds on this mission, with no mess-ups, *sigh* you'll have your dedicated transport."

Falke: "Seems V's our little guardian angel."

Theodore: "In most circumstances, I would've immediately shot down his idea as ludicrous and insane. But after your performance at the orientation match and your ability to bring back the long thought dead Summer Rose. His ideas about you three are starting to sound less and less insane. Now get out there and be Huntsmen."

Nero&Pyrrha&Falke: "Yes, sir."
