Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

Reunion

As the day begins anew, team SAFF, Azure Aoi, and Crimson Vane are seen walking down the trail. Everyone is seemingly quiet until Bleu moves up closer to Ivan.

Bleu: So where did you go?

Ivan turns to face her with confusion.

Ivan: Hmm?

Bleu: You came to Mistral for a reason. What was it?

Ivan lowers his head in sadness.

Ivan: I went to see my team.

Bleu looks at Ivan as he seems hurt by mentioning his old team. Bleu wanted to tell him about Azure staying up at night crying himself to sleep, but she thought it was probably not the best time.

Ivan: Ever since the events of Vale, the light of the Silver-eyed warrior, I had to be sure.

Bleu: Sure of what?

Fang: Guys.

Bleu and Ivan look back to see Fang bent down to the ground moving his hand along some tracks. Ivan looks to see what looked like hoofprints.

Ivan: It could be the Nuckelavee. It's well known around this part of Anima.

Sky: You mean that it was responsible for Shion village?

Ivan: No, not just it. From what I heard, is that bandits came by first, and amongst all the panic...

Azure: Grimm.

Ivan: You guessed it. The Nuckelavee is responsible for so many deaths.

Sky: We should keep moving.

Ivan: Is your Semblance still off?

Sky: I don't know. It's just strange. I've never had this problem before.

Fang: Hey Ivan.

Ivan: What is it?

Fang: Could it be our special guest that smacked us around yesterday? Do you know what his Semblance is?

Ivan: Next time I see him I'll ask.

Crimson: How much further to the next town?

Bleu pulls out the map and looks around near Oniyuri.

Bleu: How about Kiroyuri?

Sky: That village is uninhabited. The Nuckelaveedestroyed it years ago.

Bleu: Ok then... how about, Kuchinashi?

Sky: It's still active. But it's in the mountains.

Ivan: Let's take what we can get. 

Everyone nods as they start making the trek up the mountain until Sky stops all of a sudden. Bleu looks back to see him staring out toward a distant village. Bleu walks over to him and places a hand on his shoulder.

Bleu: You ok?

Sky: Something is moving around down there.

Bleu looks to the village and sees nothing.

Bleu: I don't see anything.

Sky: Look to the left of the clock tower.

Bleu focuses her eyes and starts to see someone moving through the village. She turns to the others.

Bleu: Hey boys!

Ivan, Fang, Crimson, and Azure return as Bleu points toward the village.

Bleu: There's someone down there.

Crimson: But, isn't that Kiroyuri?

Sky: It is.

Ivan: I thought you said it was abandoned.
