RWBY and Earth III: The New Frontier

Troubles of Chicago Pt. 2

City Hall

October 8, 2020

The next day at City Hall, Hazel was walking down the hallway looking for Mayor Lightfoot. He and the others weren't very happy with how Chicago was doing, especially when the mayor hadn't taken action. A moment later, he sees Lightfoot talking with some people.

"Lightfoot!" Hazel called.

The Chicago mayor turns around to face Hazel as he approaches.

"Yes? What is It?" Lightfoot asked.

"Are you aware of what's been happening in your city?" Hazel asked.

"You mean the protests by the Black Lives Matter movement and Antifa? Yes. They are making progress," Lightfoot answered.

Hazel was shocked to hear the mayor's answer.

"Progress? Those protestors tried to protect someone who was taking a child hostage and has a history of pedophilia," Hazel argued.

"That man had a wife and kids to provide for. Not to mention the kid was inherently racist from what I heard," Lightfoot said.

"Are you really siding with that predator?! From what one of the kids told me, he was about to rape that child!" Hazel said as he grew more angry.

"Listen, I am Chicago's first black, lesbian woman that was elected mayor of this city! And all those people rely on me to support them!" Lightfoot said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to attend to."

As the Mayor turned around and walked away, Hazel angrily punched the wall next to him putting a hole into it before turning around and walking away.

Downtown

Later at night, Kelly, Fox, Justin, Jason, Flynt, Neon, Jesse, Jacket, Mercury, Genji, Azumi, Roman, Neo, Hazel, and Teresa were all walking down the sidewalk in downtown Chicago.

"I've tried to tell her about all the stuff that's been going on, but she's brushing this all off as mostly peaceful," Hazel said.

"Are you fucking serious right now?!" Genji asked in shock.

"Now you know why I don't really like her. She's just that awful," Teresa said.

"She also boasted about being the first lesbian black woman to be mayor of Chicago," Hazel said.

"And apparently, she's a narcissist too," Flynt said.

"Jesse. Jacket. I'm curious. I've heard Huntsmen and Huntresses have named their weapons. So did you name your weapons?" Teresa asked.

"The Equalizer," Jacket answered.

"Bonnie and Clyde," Jesse said.

Jacket turns his his at his partner with a weird look on his face.

"I'm a little uncomfortable with you naming one of your sub-machine guns after my ex," he said.

"I was naming them after the infamous outlaw couple. I wasn't intentionally naming her after your cheating ex-girlfriend," Jesse said.

"Guys, do you hear that?" Teresa cuts in.

Everyone grew quiet and soon heard the sounds of screaming and yelling, and smelled smoke in the distance. After taking a short moment to process, everyone started to run over to follow the screaming and yelling. A moment later, they all ran around a corner to find a few shops and businesses being looted, set on fire, or being vandalized. Several people were running in terror as others dressed in hoodies and facial masks were terrorizing the street. Kelly narrowed her eyes at the looters and saw that some of them were wearing clothes that were labeled Black Lives Matter, or had an emblem on them, which featured a black flag and a red flag behind it inside a circle, and outside it had the words 'ANTIFASCIST ACTION' on it.
