The Rose of Remnant (Volume 2)

Secret Mission Final Part: Help

The four of them look at you and the map.

Mercury: *tapping chin* That doesn't make sense though. He had tickets for Vacuo.

Emerald: *taps Mercury's shoulder* You mean those tickets.

Mercury looks over to see tickets for an airship to Vacuo labeled "Back-Up Plan/Ruse." Mercury slams his hands on the table.

Mercury: Wow, looks like he got us good then. Luckily, we didn't try to chase him to Vacuo. *turns to Y/N* I'm sorry I doubted you before.

Y/N: *shrugs* It's fine, besides *looks at the map* he told me he was going to Vacuo too. Him being in Atlas doesn't make sense, but maybe that is why he went there.

Cinder: Either way, we know where to go to find him. *looks at Y/N, smiling* Thanks for the help. Is it okay if we take this map.

Y/N: *nods* Sure. You can.

Cinder: *grabs it* Thank you. Us four are going to continue investigating around the area to get more clues. You don't have to come with us. Besides, Shino here is having to go somewhere soon.

Neo nods at Cinder.

Y/N: Okay...Let's get out of here so I can lock it back up.

After leaving the store and locking up, Y/N parted ways with the four people. Neo turned around and gave him a quick air kiss before winking and walking forward with Cinder and gang once more. Y/N smiles and heads to the dorms to try and confirm some allegations that arose in his head.

Cinder's POV

We walk away from Y/N and head towards some of the stores. After some asking around, we headed to a cafe.

Emerald: Looks like the puma really did flee to Atlas.

Me: Doesn't matter anymore. We know where he is and I'll have someone else check it out. If Roman took care of it sooner, we wouldn't have to be doing all this. *clenches fist* I swear that man is stupid.

Mercury: Why are we working with him again?

Me: *sighs* Because we need coordinated attacks. For that, we need lots of members. Plus, he's good at manipulating the masses to get what he wants.

Emerald: How much longer do we have to work with him? He pisses me off every day.

Me: Just a few more weeks...after that *smug smiles* we can ditch the delusional trash can that is Roman Torchwick.

Third Person Limited: Y/N's POV

Entering Haven's lodging at Beacon, Y/N kept looking at the name stickers that said the person's name. He kept looking through the hallways until he stumbled upon Cinder's room.

Y/N: *mutter* Alright Cinder, let's see the real reason you're at Beacon.

Y/N unlocks the door after a few tries with a lock-pick and stumbles into the room. He quickly shuts the door and takes in his surroundings.

Alby: *appears* It just looks like a normal room.

Y/N: *shakes head, sighing* This is why you're not a detective, Alby.

Alby: Hey!

Y/N checks under the bed, in between pillows, even in the drawers, which he checked quickly, but none yielded results.

Y/N: *mutters* If I was Cinder, where would I hide my plans?

He decides to try one last Hail Mary tactic and goes into her closet. Sifting through clothes and accessories, he finds a small detail with the wall. He checks the other side to see and it was consistent with the pattern. The small detail was very unnoticeable if not looked at properly.
