Chapter 4: An unknown operation

    "Where are they?" Adam was asking the White Fang lieutenant. "They should have been here by now. We're leaving soon." "I don't know, sir. They haven't responded." Adam frowned in anger. "First it was camp eleven, next we found an injured scout from camp five,  camp four was burned to ashes, and now, one of our greatest and deadliest settlements hasn't responded!? We NEED those weapons and Dust! Especially if someone-or something is destroying our camps!!" The White Fang lieutenant was thinking. "Perhaps Cinder is displeased with us?" "And for what reason would she have for that? We've done everything she wanted us to. Are operation is going smoothly." "Yes. But what IS our operation in the first place?"
    A gun fired. Adam and the lieutenant jumped. Another gun fired, but it was not the same sound as the White Fang armory. Adam recognized it, he was afraid. "Not her..." The lieutenant put on his mask. "Who is that?!" Adam answered quietly. "Blake."
    They stepped out of there tent to see the White Fang members fight against Blake. They were failing. Even with dust, weaponry, and an obvious outnumbering, she was winning. The White Fang were dropping like flies. The lieutenant pulls out his sword but is stopped by Adam's hand. "No. We need you alive for the next phase. We need to get on the boat and leave to Haven. They'll fend her off."
    Blake was fighting them all off. Even though they were caught off guard and stealth wasn't an option, she took them down with ease. She heard the order given to retreat and saw who gave the order, the reason why she began her journey destroying the White Fang. She had found Adam. She used Gambol Shroud's hook as far as it could stretch and zoomed forward. Adam new this was bad. He pulled out his sword and cut Gambol Shroud off the boat. Blake tumbled but caught herself. She ran even faster. Adam shot at her, but Blake was able to dodge him and block the others with Gambel Shroud. She jumped up to take out Adam once and for all, only to be knocked in the water by his own blade. She was careless, anger had driven thoughts. She knew for next time to be more coordinated and focused. After all, that's how Yang lost her arm. Blake swam to the surface of the water and climbed to the dock and stared out to the sea. She sighed. "I'll get you. One day. For Beacon. For Yang."
