RWBY Volume 4 Redux

Reflects

Ruby and pals had taken down the squad of Black Vipers. Jaune was the first to stand firm after the scuffle. Ren and Scarlet checked on the students to make sure none were injured. "Is everyone alright?" Scarlet asked the students of Sanctum. They all nodded. "None are injured. But why the students?" Scarlet asked Ruby.

That is when a walkie-talkie device was buzzing by the time it was knocked off from the leader. "Gamma Squad, come in. Do you read? What's all the noise there? Alpha squad to Gamma? Do you copy?" They figured it was another one of those Black Vipers. Ren then picks it up to not let any suspicion.

"Gamma Squad to Alpha. We read you." Ren said, pretending to being one of the Black Vipers in order to mislead them. "What's all the commotion down there?"

"Nothing. It was a false alarm, sir." Ren speaks through the communicator. Ruby nods as a sign of a go-ahead. "Alright, good. Anyway, we got Atlesian activity at the ruins of Shinegure. A group of soldiers have been located. Your job will be to eliminate them, dead or alive, those are High Leader's orders. Beta team will be on the way to assist you. While you're there, get to the section of Merlot's Industries and obtain the weapon." Ren got what they need to hear in order to stop them.

"Affirmative, over and out." Ren then turned off the communicator and turned to the group. "Looks like they were after the Atlas Military that were scouting around Anima. We have to head to Shinegure. There we can stop the rest of the Black Vipers from coming at them."

"If only we have a map or a GPS, or if our scrolls hadn't lost their bloody signal." Scarlet complained. Ren then turned to the group and then the others turned to look at each other. "I've been to Shinegure before. There was classic machinery used for Merlot Industries. There was the first generation of Atlesian Paladins. And with those kind of machines shut down, chances are, someone or some people might try to get their hands on them."

Ren then felt a sense of vibration of not one but four more of auras. As he stopped on his feet and looked back to see if there were any threatens left. Leaving mid spilt on his shoes. Ruby then noticed his alarming state. "What is it, Ren?" Ren then looked around to see if anyone else is there. But the presence he sensed had left. Leaving him confused, wondering if he got paranoia.

"Nothing, thought I felt something." Ren replied and the others head to Shinegure. The town where the first gen tech had been developed.

Then four unknown young adults, two males and two females are hiding with the semblance of a cloaking power that made them seen invisible. One is a female Faunus with blonde hair and cat ears and has a sleeveless leotard and face mask with her eyes and nose only exposed and war fans attached to each side of her waist.

Another female is another Faunus with fox ears, red hair, and rouge colored armory top and a furry overcoat that resembles tribal wear over her shoulders. With a staff hanging on her back.

Another traveler is a male human with bronze skin and hazel colored eyes, dark hair. Muscular arms and green garment wear with black pants. And each of the elemental dust attached around his belt. Silver gauntlets in his wrists.

Another make is spikey blue-haired. Cracked yellow goggles on his head. Similar to Neptune's. White Tank top and a brown war coat above it. Gray and black pants with military pattern. With a glaive on his back. "What a relief, a few more seconds and he would've spotted us. Good work Erina." The cat Faunus said to the fox Faunus named Erina.

"The enemy has not yet been sighted. Still, let's not forget the mission." Said the bronze-skinned young man. "This way we can delay Salem's plans for world destruction."

"Even if we did, she is just too strong to stop. Any chance we run into Cinder or Adam Taurus, it would mark death to us." Said Erina. "Kali, what are your thoughts?" She asked. Kali then moved in front of her team and points forward, "We'll keep and eye on that group for now. Hopefully to see if Cinder is following them. Salem is only after the relic of Knowledge for now, but this will give us enough time to gain the Relic of Choice Ozpin has been hiding. Wherever it was. We hope someone will give us answers. Once we get the relic of Choice, we can take it back to our timeline. Shinegure should be our next stop."
