Sasuke In The World Of Remnant (Completed)

9 - Missing Teammate (2)

Streets of Vale, Ruby, Yang, Weiss

"Blake! Where are you?!" Ruby yelled, her voice echoing through the streets.

"Blakkeee!" Yang joined in, her frustration mounting. She then turned to Weiss. "Wait... Where's Sasuke?"

"Maybe he's out looking for Blake by himself," Weiss suggested, trying to stay optimistic.

"Well, Weiss, that's not very helpful!" Ruby snapped, clearly exasperated.

"Maybe the police could help us," Weiss proposed, though her suggestion only fueled Ruby's irritation.

"Seriously, Weiss? You think the police are just going to-" Ruby started, but Yang cut her off.

"Okay, let's not jump to conclusions. We should hear everyone's side of the story first," Yang suggested, trying to mediate the situation.

"I THINK when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right!" Weiss insisted, but just then, another voice cut through the tension.

"And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!" Penny's cheerful voice rang out as she approached the group.

"AHH-! Penny, where did you come from?!" Ruby yelped, startled by her sudden appearance.

Penny bounced up to them with a bright smile. "Hey guys, what are you up to?"

"We're looking for our friend Blake," Yang explained.

"Ohhh! You mean the Faunus girl!" Penny said with a knowing nod.

The team exchanged puzzled glances. "Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby asked.

"Uhh- the cat ears," Penny replied nonchalantly.

Yang's eyes widened as she realized. "She wears a... bow."

"So... where is she?" Penny asked, her tone turning serious.

"We don't know. She's been missing since Friday," Ruby answered, her voice tinged with sadness.

*Gasp!* "That's terrible! Don't worry, Ruby, my friend!" Penny exclaimed, grabbing Ruby's arms with earnest determination. "I won't rest until we find your teammate."

Ruby hesitated, looking to her team for support. They nodded, though Ruby felt betrayed. "Ah, that's really nice of you, Penny, but-uh, we're okay! Really, right guys?" She glanced at her teammates, who seemed more willing to let Penny help.

'TRAITORS!' Ruby thought bitterly as Penny cheerfully joined her.

"Boy, sure is windy today," Penny said with a bright smile, as she set off with Ruby to search for Blake.

Streets of Vale, Blake, Sun, Sasuke

Blake and Sun strolled through the bustling streets of Vale, deep in conversation. Sun broke the silence with a question. "So, what's the plan?"

Blake sighed, her frustration evident. "I still can't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before."

Sun's eyes lit up with an idea. "But what if they did? The only way to prove they didn't is to check the place they'd most likely go to if they were involved. If we don't find them there, then we know for sure."

Blake looked thoughtful. "The problem is, I have no idea where that would be."

Sun shrugged. "While I was on the ship, I overheard some guys talking about a massive shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas. It's on a huge Schnee Company freighter."

Blake's eyebrows raised. "Are you sure?"

Sasuke, who had been silently listening, finally spoke up. "Hn. I know where that is."
