The Burned Arc

Retribution

Right now Teams RWBY and JNPR are sitting in the cafeteria with Stacy.

Nora: And that's how I ate 100 pancakes in 10 minutes.

Weiss: *with a mortified expression* We did not you to describe so "vividly".

Yang:*hugging herself and rocking slightly*I don't think I can look at pancakes the same ever again.

Jeane: You get used Nora's antics.

Ruby: 100 pancakes?! That's like *counts on her fingers* 3,5 cookies a pancake!

Weiss: How do you that one pancake is 3,5 cookies but you struggle with long division?

Blake: We all struggle with long division.

Stacy slams her hand on the table.

Stacy: Yeah, like what's it's purpose? What separates it from normal division?

Weiss: I... good question.

Ren: Miss Six, where is Mr Graham? I haven't seen him all day.

Joshua: Everyone get your weapons and whatever supplies you need. The Bullhead leaves in an hour.

Everyone except Stacy and Jeane: AH!

Blake: Ok, now you are starting to scare me.

Yang: How and when?!

Joshua just stands silently.

Stacy: *takes a sip of coffee* About a minute ago.

Joshua: If you'll excuse me I need to grab some items before heading to the air docks.

Joshua walks off, the air around him feeling a lot warmer. Stacy walks next to him, although a bit further away than usual.

Jeane: Ah, crap.

Nora: What's wrong with Mr Graham Fearless leader?

Jeane: Something or someone has pissed my brother off biblically.

Ren: More so than what CRDL did?

Jeane: To keep it simple, whatever has him this angry better get its affairs in order and prepare for the big sleep.

Ulysses walks up to the table and hands a book to Blake. Blake swipes the book from Ulysses' hand, and bolts out the room with her face as red as Ruby's cape.

Ruby: She left her filth in class again didn't she?

Ulysses just nods, his eyes speaking of the horrors he's seen.

Yang: How do you know about her book?!

Ruby: The teachers come to me with the stuff you guys leave behind in class! Oh, by the way Weiss here's a Dust cartridge that slipped out of your bag in Professor Peach's class a week ago. Ruby hands Weiss the Dust cartridge while Weiss looks at her wondering since when did this become a thing.

Stacy comes back to grabs her half finished cup of coffee.

Stacy: It's true. We're told that if someone forgets something in class we found out what team was sitting there and hand the item(s) to the team leader.

She leaves again.

Several hours later

Teams RWBY and JNPR, Joshua, Stacy and Ulysses are in a Bullhead headed for Joshua and Jeane's hometown. Everyone is looking at Joshua who is putting magazines for his weapon in every pocket on his bulletproof vest. While everyone else is tense Ruby is starry-eyed at the amount of non-Dust rounds Joshua has. The sun has set.
