Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

Premature Celebration

The scene opens with a news report after the recent events with Jack The Ripper.

News Reporter: This is Scott Burgindee reporting live from the Argus military base where Commander Caroline Cordovin's very own Ace Operatives have found and apprehended the long nightmare that has plagued our city, Jack The Ripper.

Suddenly as the gates into the base open, the police transport drives right through and the gate closes on the reporters. Caroline steps outside of the base as Jack is seen with Gravity Dust cuffs wrapped around his wrists and arms as he steps out of the vehicle. Fang and Hannah exit with Jack and start escorting him into the base as Ivan steps up to Caroline.

Ivan: Do you want us to get rid of the vultures outside?

Cordovin: No need. The Mayor will be joining us soon.

Azure: The Mayor?

Cammie: What does he want?

Cordovin: He said that he wishes to speak with us. He didn't say what about.

Azure: Seem suspicious that he wants to finally come talk to "us" right after we transported Jack here.

Ivan: Agreed, but we can't rule out suspicion until we know when he gets here.

Cammie: Just be careful about what you say to Mayor Casseus. He thinks he's royalty just because he won the re-election.

Ivan: So we're dealing with an entitled human, great.

Cordovin: Look I know how strange this looks, but please trust me on this Ivan.

Ivan: You haven't given me a reason not to yet. 

The gates open as a black limo pulls into the base. The door opens to reveal a well-tailored man holding a cane in one hand while smoking a cigarette in the other. He then looks to the group and approaches.

Mayor: Ah, Miss Cordovin, how lovely it is to see you again. It's been a while.

Caroline steps up to the Mayor and holds out her hand.

Cordovin: Welcome to the Argus/Atlas military station Mr. Mayor. Do what do I owe this surprise visit?

Mayor: I heard that your Huntsman team has recently captured Jack The Ripper. Congratulations are in order but I have also come to offer you and your team a proper celebration.

Cordovin: Involving what exactly?

Mayor: A special feast at my manor, commemorating your brave Huntsman and Huntresses that have saved us from another night of terror.

Cordovin: (looks to Ivan before turning back to the Mayor) I appreciate the offer but I'm afraid that-

Ivan: What should we wear, sir?

Caroline looks shocked at the response that Ivan gave.

Mayor: By all means, come in whatever you like. Of course, I will ask that you all will check your weapons in at the entrance. It is a celebration after all.

Caroline looks at Ivan as he nods to her.

Cordovin: When should we arrive?

Mayor: Splendid, you may arrive tomorrow at sunset. See you then.

The Mayor turns away, re-enters his limo, and drives away from the base. 

Mayor's Limo

Mayor: They agreed to go to the party.

As the Mayor grabs his drink that was sitting in the cup holder, another hand is seen holding another glass with the slight chuckle of a woman. The woman revealed herself to be Fey Bianc.
