"Oh guys, I miss you all so much..." I whispers quietly looking at the picture in my hand "...I'm sorry.." I sigh putting the it back in my pocket and looked up at the night sky. Currently everyone is sleeping well mostly everyone the girls are taking turns on keeping watch, but I couldn't sleep so I decided to lay back on what's left of the buildings roof.

"Hmm, huh?" I looked down hearing voices and noticed Ruby and Zwei running off somewhere "damn it" I groan and got up following them by rooftop until I seen the ground under Ruby give in causing her to fall in under ground. "Can things get better" I jumped down and looked at Zwei "go get the others" I tell him jumping in the hole.

"Ruby's scythe!" Yang calls out as they ran over to Crescent Rose picking it up

"Do you think she fell?" Weiss asks concern

"Fell?" Oobleck questions looking up

"Down there." The Schnee mutters pointing to the hole

"Oh my. Of course! Of course, OF COURSE, OF COURSE! How could I be so stupid"

"What is it?" Blake looks at him, "yeah what's wrong?" Yang asks

"Mountain Glenn! An expansion of Vale that was inevitably destroyed by creatures of Grimm! Previously home to thousands of people! Working people commuting to the city, the main city! Developed a subway system to the inner city! Grimm attacks increased! Population in danger, now desperately searching for shelter! City evacuates into the metro tunnels and what do they find? The southeast quadrant of Vale is known for wild forests and deep caves!" He informs the three students

"What are you saying?" Yang asks confused

"My dear, we're not just looking for an underground crime network, we're looking for an UNDERGROUND crime network!"

"They've been working in caves?"

"No, no, as the end drew near, the citizens of the territory made one last attempt at survival. They took up shelter beneath the city! In massive caves that they had cleared out for the subway. And they had cut themselves off from the surface!

"An underground village?"
"Yes. A safe haven. Until... an explosion opened the mouth of another cavern, filled with subterranean Grimm. After that, the Kingdom officially sealed off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb. If Ruby is down there we must find her..." Oobleck says getting his weapon.

"Wait, where's Mara?" Blake asks looking around, "She must went on ahead" Yang says
**************

"No...not again..." I whisper to myself hiding behind a corner see a bunch of White Fang members moving around and Roman standing there talking to Ruby unit he pointed the end of his cane to the young girls head. I growled gripping in to Blacktalon and ran forward tackling into Roman.

"What the!? Oh well look who it is." Roman smirks

"Mara!" Ruby looks up at me happily but looks over at Torchwick hearing him laugh.

"Oh it's been far too long little girl blue, you've grown since the last time we seen each other." He gets up walking over to stand in front of me, "Mara, what is he talking about?" Ruby asked worried and confused.

"You mean she hasn't told you yet!?" Roman said in a mocking tone making me growl at him "your little friend here isn't as she appears, she may act all good and nice but she's the exact opposite."

"Shut it Torchwick!" I glare pointing my blade at him knowing I was only challenging him more to continue on.
"Little Mara here is a killer, not only have she killed grimm but she killed people as well..." He smirks making Ruby gasp looking over at me, "yep...as a matter of fact she took more lives than she saved."

I growl as my foot collided with Roman's stomach sending him back as I punched the White Fang guy and swing my blade towards Ruby cutting the ropes "go on to the others." I tell her as she nods using her semblance to get away. "You never know when to shut up" I said looking back at Roman as he got back up.

"Oh we have a lot to catch up on" He laughs at me
