Team WRPP (The Elites Volume One) - #RWBYverseAwards

Meet And Greet

"I want you four to retrieve a package for me." Ozpin told Team RWBY, whom he had summoned to his office earlier that day.

"Just a package? We're not deliverymen. Don't you have someone to get it for you?" Weiss asked, not intending to sound so harsh.

Ozpin smiled. "This package is a little... different, for want of a better term. Go to the North Headquarters of the Vale Police Force and tell them that I sent you. It should already be prepared for you to escort it back here."

Weiss sighed in defeat, following the rest of her team out of Beacon and into the waning light of late day.

"I wonder what it is! Oooo~ Maybe a weapon! I really want it to be a weapon." Ruby smiled, bouncing lightly on her feet. Over time, the loss of Primal seemed to drift away, although she still did have some bouts of sadness.

Yang nodded. "That would be pretty cool. Like, some sort of experimental weapon of sorts."

"The likelihood of the police having their hands on something like that is slim to none. At best." Retorted Blake.

About half an hour had passed since the girls left Beacon, and they were just arriving at the large building that housed the northern Police headquarters. They walked in, and immediately, a young, shaggy looking man stood up from one of the chairs in the lobby. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, and was wearing a police uniform, a plain metal briefcase in his hand, his gun lying lazily in its holster at his side.

"Team RWBY, I assume?" The man asked, quickly scanning over the four girls.

They all nodded in unison, and the man sighed, running a hand through his unkempt hair. "I really don't wanna let him out, but fifteen billion Lien is fifteen billion Lien. Just doesn't feel right." He mumbled. "I'm Officer Paxton Jace. Ozpin's 'package' is in outprocessing. He'll be ready in a few minutes. But I'm going a little off the agreement here. I'm coming with you back to Beacon. This guy can be a bit of a... handful."

The girls all looked surprised.

"He? I thought this was some sort of package, not a person." Weiss interjected.

Jace shook his head. "Then you'd be wrong, kid. You're transporting Firestarter."

Weiss's eyes widened. "The criminal that's set hundreds of buildings on fire, including at least two dozen Schnee Dust Company warehouses?!" She almost yelled.

Jace nodded. "One and the same." He waved them along and nodded to the officer at the reception desk, allowing the four girls to enter into the cell blocks. He led them down many long series of hallways until they reached a long, secluded section of the building, in which lay one single metal padlocked door. Jace went directly to it, and pulled a large chain of keys from his pocket. "He should be prepared for extraction now. But if he isn't you all might want to keep your weapons at the ready.

Weiss immediately ripped Myrtenaster from its scabbard, brandishing the blade and pointing it directly at the door without any hesitation. The other three girls readied their weapons as well, prepared for whatever might be through the large door.

Jace unlocked the first door, then the second, the third, the fourth. It almost seemed like an infinite wall of doorways until the last one swung open, revealing a small cell; the only furnishings being the toilet on the far left corner, and the metal cot attached to the same wall. On it lay a tall, slightly muscular boy. That was all the girls could make of him, considering he was wrapped in a straitjacket, and his head was encased in a large, metal nuzzle that not only covered his mouth, but the entirety of his head except for his eyes, that shined blood red. Looking directly at the girls.
