I was assigned to help with Oobleck's mission. My cane is, of course, not perfect for Grimm its ment more towards human opponents. I walked up to the good doctor as he turned and greeted me.
Oobleck: Ah Roman your here, good.
He pulls out a small device.
Oobleck: Now you must remain within a certain distance of me or whoever has this. You will get shocked by your monitor if you leave the area. The same would have happened if you left Beacon without permission or without someone who had this.
Y/n: Good to know doc.
Oobleck: Let's wait until the team that chose this mission arrives.
After a good few minutes, I see team... RWBY approaching. I slightly blushed, hoping that they weren't here for this mission, but that thought soon went out the window.
Oobleck: Why, hello girls! Who's ready to fight for their lives?
They all had various faces of shock or disappointment upon realizing he would be the huntsman they'll be shadowing.
Weiss: Professor Oobleck and Torchwick?
Oobleck: Yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, girls, seeing as you've opted to shadow a Huntsman on what is now essentially a reconnaissance mission. I can assure you, we will not be establishing a single base of operations; rather, we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland and making camp in any defendable locations we may stumble upon. I packed all of our essentials myself, plotted our air course, and readied the airship. And... It's Doctor Oobleck. I didn't earn the PhD. for fun, thank you very much!
Weiss looks over at Blake Belladonna, who is equally disturbed.
Weiss: Uh...
Oobleck: Come now, children; according to my schedule, we are already three minutes behind! ...schedule! Torchwick, I need you as a co-pilot just in case before we reach our destination.
Listening to the good doctor's orders, I start making my way to the airship.
Small timeskip
I'm in the co-pilot's seat as we are flying over trees that were transitioning to broken buildings. I could also hear any and all conversations in the area behind me with the door closed.
Yang: I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter.
Oobleck: I admit I fancy myself more of an intellectual, but I can assure you, as a Huntsman, I've had my fair share of tussles.
Ruby: Like the mushroom?
Blake: Those are truffles.
Ruby: Like the sprout?
Yang: Those are Brussels.
Oobleck: Besides, given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabblings in the archaeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw fit to assign me to this particular... assignment!
Weiss: What does history have to do with this?
Oobleck: Why, what a preposterous question, you silly girl! Why, history is the backbone of our very society! And the liver! Probably the kidneys, if I were to wager.
Weiss: And that means..?
Oobleck: The southeast quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forests and deep caves, but it is also the location to one of the kingdom's greatest failures!
Ruby: Mountain Glenn.
Yang: That's right! It was an expansion of Vale... but in the end, it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city.
