Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

A Much Needed Talk

The scene begins with members of team SAFF, BLAE, Azure, and Crimson all in different places in the room they are sharing while they stay at Kuchinashi as Akali begins to speak.

Akali: First it was the broadcast of the attack on Beacon, then it was the White Fang attacking the school, and after that everything went chaotic.

Evelynn: With all the panic here, the Grimm were coming from every direction. Leonardo Lionheart, the headmaster of Haven dispatched all available Huntsman to deal with the hordes. We were able to contain it but...

Ahri: So many Huntsman died from that attack. After the smoke cleared, the headmaster suggested that some teams would go out across Anima and make sure the villages were alright. 

Evelynn: We were sent with a Huntress named Heather Shields to investigate some Grimm activity. She went to check something on her own and by the time we found her, she was being interrogated by these two guys. They didn't look like Huntsman.

Ivan: Can you describe them?

Ahri: One of them was this big guy, had a jacket on. He was the one talking to her while the other one held her down. The other one had this look in his eyes like he was enjoying it. He was a Faunus. 

Crimson: What kind of Faunus?

Ahri: Scorpion Faunus. He kept cutting her while stabbing her with his tail. He was poisoning her.

Ahri starts to cry as Akali holds her close.

Ivan: It's ok if you want to stop.

Ahri: No, I'm fine. She never gave us up to them. And when she wouldn't say anything, the Faunus slashed out her throat. We waited until they left before going over to her. I tried to help her but... but...

Akali: It's ok Ahri. There was nothing you could have done.

Evelynn: We returned to Haven only to see that the mission board was full of names for jobs that were never finished. We didn't think Haven was safe so... we ran. Went into hiding. Helped where we could without drawing too much attention to ourselves.

Ivan: By any chance did Heather Shields have Silver Eyes?

Evelynn: No she didn't. Why is that important?

Ivan: Because this sounds like the same thing that happened to my team.

Bleu: Do you think they're related to the same person that sent Arinae and Mor'du?

Ivan: It's possible, but without more evidence, we can't prove anything.

Crimson: Aside from that, why did you think that Haven wasn't safe?

Evelynn: The headmaster is the only one who knew where we all went. He gave each of the Huntsman specific locations for us to go to. None of us signed off the mission board.

Sky: But what you're suggesting is that Leonardo set everyone up. Why would he do that?

Fang: This might go deeper than we know.

Azure: How do you mean?

Fang: Think about it, during the last match of the tournament that woman we all heard. The symbol that was placed on the screen.

Ivan: The chess piece of the black queen.

Fang: Yes, I think that they set up that fight on purpose. From what we saw, two people were placed to fight each other. One was apparently a robot, and the other had the Semblance of magnetism.

Sky: It's like they knew about them before the Vytal Tournament.

Fang: That would mean that they would have had a way into the school. Disguised as students no doubt.
