A couple days after (Y/N)'s encounter with Ozpin, he was at Junior's bar, eating a strawberry sundae.

Junior: "Geez, can't you be like my other customers and just get a drink."

(Y/N): "What? You're like one of the only places open this late. How else am I supposed to get this?"

Junior: "Fair enough. What do ya need this time Redgrave?" (Y/N) takes another bite, savoring the taste before continuing.

(Y/N): "So I hear that there's a train coming through the Forever Fall. They say it's something real important." Junior starts to think as he cleans a glass.

Junior: "Well, that's true. Apparently, it's some sort of archaeological find. Ain't no interest to me though. What's your stake in it?" (Y/N) finishes up his snack and slides the cup back to the barkeep.

(Y/N): "Let's just say I got a hunch the took something that should belong in the family."

Junior: "Huh. Never took you for a family man, but it ain't my business to pry into my client's business." 

(Y/N): "Speaking of business, here's my end of the bargain." (Y/N) then passes some lien to him.

(Y/N): "Well, my business is done tonight. I really should-" (Y/N) is cut off when a girl with blonde hair enters the club. She then looks over to where (Y/N) and Junior are and starts walking towards them.

(Y/N): "I know you're in need of girls here, but I didn't know you were hiring people around my age."

Junior: "We aren't. Just play it cool, and we'll get her out of here. Here on the house." He gets another strawberry sundae for (Y/N), to keep him at the bar as insurance. (Y/N) is happy to oblige at this offer.

Blonde: "Strawberry Sunrise. No ice. Oh, and one of those little umbrellas." He gives her a questioning look as he slowly pours the drink

Junior: "Aren't you a little young to be in this club, Blondie?"

Blonde: "Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?"

Junior: "So you know who I am. You got a name, sweetheart?"

Yang: "Yes, Junior, I've got several. But instead of sweetheart, you can just call me sir." She grabs his groin and squeezes it painfully causing Junior to cry out in pain comically. This sight almost causes (Y/N) to spit out his food.

(Y/N): 'What the-'

Blonde: "People say you know everything." She brings her scroll up to his face, showing him a picture.

Blonde: "Tell me where I can find her and I'll let you go."

Junior: "I've never seen her before, I swear!" He gives (Y/N) a look of desperation, but (Y/N) does his best to ignore what is going on next to him.

Blonde: "Excuse me?"

Junior: "I swear, sir!" Junior's henchmen begin to gather around.

Blonde: "Hmm, looks like we have an audience. This must kind of embarrassing for you, huh? Awkward . . . ."

Junior: "Listen, blondie sir. If you want to make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!" She lets go and Junior sighs in relief.

Junior: "You'll pay for that!" He puts on his sunglasses and walks away from her, leaving his goons to deal with her. The blonde follows closely behind.

Blonde: "Oh Junior, I was just playing with you! Don't be so sensitive! Come on, lets kiss and make up, okay?"

(Y/N): 'Is this girl for real?!' Junior stops and turns around.

Junior: "Huh? Uh, okay."

(Y/N): "Uh Junior, I don't think-" As he leans in, she punches him in the face sending him flying across the room, breaking one of the pillars of glass. The henchmen run towards her. Activating Ember Celica, she jumps into the air and punches down, sending them flying back with a shockwave. She takes out all the henchmen and even the DJ, who had pulled out a machine gun to shoot at her. Then the two Malachite Twins step into the room.

Miltia: "Melanie, who is this girl?"

Melanie: "I dunno Miltia but we should teach her a lesson." The Blonde loads another belt of ammunition into Ember Celica and takes out the twins after a short struggle. The holograms in the club suddenly turn off and a spotlight shines on Junior as he brings out his Bazooka.

Junior: "You're gonna pay for this."

He begins to attack with a seemingly unending barrage of missiles, but she counters by firing shots from her gauntlets. Through the smokescreen he leaps and takes a few swings at her, catching her completely off guard. But she quickly recovers, and her hair begins to glow. She answers his previous assault with her own, knocking Junior away and breaking his weapon. Unknowingly, he had grabbed a couple strands of her hair. She clearly gets upset and reels up for her final attack.  She runs forward at full speed, with her fist about to make contact with his face, but then (Y/N) appears right in between the two.

(Y/N): "Royal Guard!" He then quickly assumes a stance that generates an aura in front of him, taking the full force of the girl's punch, surprising her. 

(Y/N): "Whoa! Slow down, babe!" He then returns with a punch of his own, returning the force he had just absorbed. He sends her flying back, knocking her through another pillar. He then turns to Junior.

(Y/N): "Why don't you take the rest of the night off, eh?" Junior quickly nods and runs out of his club. He then turns his attention back to the blonde, who is clearly more than annoyed. Her hair at this point seemed like fire, giving (Y/N) a bit of fuel for taunting.

(Y/N): "Someone's a bit hot headed today. How about we cool off?" He says flicking his hand at her, cuing a song.

She leaps up into the air and dives at him, but he skillfully dodges her attack, getting a better look at her gauntlets.

(Y/N): "Not bad haha!" She continues her barrage, but he continues to play defensively. He begins to notice that she is slowing down.

(Y/N): 'So she must get more energized with the more hits she takes, and I haven't dealt out any.' 

Blonde: "Just hold still so I can hit you!" He smirks when he sees her trip over a piece of debris. Grabbing her arm, he flips her over him, slamming her into the ground. She attempts to punch him with her other arm, but he grabs her other arm, pinning both of them above her head. She prepared for the worst as she saw him lean down to her.

Blonde (blushing): "D-Do your worst, y-you perv!" She closes her eyes, until she feels a sharp pain from him flicking her head.

(Y/N): "You cooled off yet?" He asks as he releases his hold on her. She gets a better look at him, and starts to heat up.

Blonde: "I-I-" Then she is cut off by a voice familiar to both of them

Ruby: "Yang? (Y/N)? Is that you?"

Yang: "Sis! What are you doing here?!"

Ruby: "I could ask you the same thing. Wait! Where did (Y/N) go?" They both look around and find no trace of him.

Yang: "(Y/N). So that's his name . . ."

Ruby: "Yang? you still haven't answered my question. What were you doing here with (Y/N)?"

Yang: (Sighs) "It's a long story."
