((Y/F/N)'s POV)
I'm on the airship standing next to Qrow. "Alright everyone. I need to stress to our new huntsmen and huntresses, we are prioritizing citizen safety over killing Grimm. Got it?" Clover asks as everyone nods. I look at Qrow and put my hand on his shoulder. He looks at me and we both nod. We felt the airship shake. We see a Grimm face in the front of the airship. A flying Grimm? Why am I not surprised? "Hang on!" Marrow yells. Elm uses her semblance to hold Clover and Qrow. Both of them hang on to me. The ship keeps moving as we see the Grimm's claws dig inside the ship near Blake and Yang. "I can't shake it!" Harriet yells. The ships shakes more and one of the wings is on fire. I start to lose balance despite being held on to already. I feel Clover and Qrow tighten their grip on me. "Was that another Grimm?" I ask. "I don't think we're staying airborne." Marrow tells us. "It's time to go." Qrow says. I nod in agreement. "You have your team assignments. Let's go." Clover says and hits the door open to see the face of the Grimm but was quickly gone by the fire from the wing. Yet he just stood there with that smug smile on his face. I roll my eyes and smile. Why does he always have to look like a badass every five seconds? Everyone leaves the ship in their own unique way and Clover, Qrow, and I were left on the ship. I go to the side Qrow was getting off on. We turn to see Clover leave the ship, clearly showing off. "Tsk, show off." Qrow says as he jumps off. "Tell me about it." I said following him. The three of us meet up. "You two ready?" Clover asks. "Ready as I'll ever be." I say, getting my weapon ready. Qrow does the same. We shoot the flying Grimm. Clover gets a message. "Okay, yes sir, understood, over and out." He says. "New orders?" Qrow asks. "Let's go." We left the area. "So are you gonna tell us what's going on or what?" I asked. "I will, I just don't know how you'd like it, sis." I gave him the the look of 'You better tell me what it is this instant.' "Alright, alright. We've been ordered to take care of Tyrian Callows." My eyes widen. I knew he was responsible for the murders at that party and was terrified that he was here, but this. I hoped to never see him again. "Yeah...I figured you'd react that way." He said. Qrow looked confused. "You know Tyrian?" "I wish I didn't. It was a long time ago. It was a year where the Vytal Festival was held at Haven. Tyrian happened to be in Mistral and saw me there. We chatted for a bit and everything seemed fine but-" I was interrupted but was glad this time. "He started stalking her. She even confronted him about it and he tried to kill her. After she defended herself, he ran off and never saw him again." Clover finished. "Until now." I said. I tried not to seem like I was scared but both of them could tell. "If you want, after we get him to a transport, you don't have to ride with us." Clover said. Qrow nodded. "Thanks, you guys." I said with a smile. We started to head on our way to where Robyn Hill was since we were gonna fight Tyrian alongside her. We were on the rooftop making sure we can't be seen. We see Robyn and Tyrian in the alley. "Robyn Hill. For such a little bird, you have quite the impact around here." I already feel my insides sink as I hear his voice again. Robyn shoots at him but dodges it. "Bringing hope and a smile wherever you go. I find it upsetting." He says as Robyn shoots at him again but catches the arrow and bends it. He pulls out his weapon and attacks her in a psychopathic laugh. Clover got out his hook and stops Tyrian's attack. I guess that's our cue to help. "Sorry Callows, I really wanted to pummel you on my own, but the General insisted I share." Robyn said as the rest of us get our weapons ready. 'Well, you're not the only one with a grudge." Clover added. "You both have to get in line." Qrow added. "I think we all want to get even." I stated. Tyrian looks at me. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the lovely (Y/F/N). I hope we can use this time to catch up." He put a weird emphasis on the 'catch up' and I don't like it. "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't want to catch up." "Your days of murdering and being a creep to my sister are over. Tyrian Callows, you're under arrest." Clover says. Tyrian starts laughing like a madman while still looking creepily at me. Qrow swung the first attack. I guess he noticed Tyrian's creepy looks. Soon, all of us were attacking him. Qrow and Clover were able to get him tied up but he quickly got out. Robyn shoots and arrow at him and he catches it in his mouth but it explodes. He falls to the ground laughing. Robyn looks at me. "Care to do the honors?" "With. Pleasure." I said and kicked him hard in the face. "Where's that smile now?" Robyn says. I look behind to see Clover's surprised face and Qrow's satisfied smile. I smiled at them. Clover turned around. "This is Clover. Requesting prisoner transport. We have Tyrian Callows in custody." I was talking with Robyn. "And you're sure you don't wanna ride with us?" Robyn asks me. "I just wanna make sure I'm nowhere near that creep." "Fair enough. We wouldn't want him doing anything to you." "It's not him doing anything to me I'm scared of. He's already tried to do that before. I know what's he's capable of and that's what scares me. I guess I should be asking if you guys will be fine with him 2 feet apart from you on the way to Atlas." I said. "Well, someone has to make sure he behaves on the trip." Clover says. I still can't help but be worried. I looked over at Qrow and he noticed. "Hey, don't worry. We'll be fine. We're huntsmen and huntresses after all." He reassures. "Yeah, you're right." I said. Then we see an airship come our way. "I guess that's our cue. Robyn, bring Tyrian on the ship." Clover says and she does just that. I looked down with worry. "You're not worried we're gonna die, are you?" Qrow asked. "Well, kinda yeah. You have Tyrian Callows on the ship, of course I'm worried. Like I said, I know what he's capable of. I just don't want you guys getting hurt." "Trust me, as long as we got Clover in there, it'll be smooth sailing." "You know you'd have a positive effect on it too, don't you? Just because your semblance is misfortune doesn't mean it's always in a negative way." "Easy for you to say. You have a brother who's semblance is the exact opposite. Speaking of, what is your semblance?" Qrow asks. "I don't really like telling people about my semblance, but I'm more than happy to tell you. My semblance is coping other semblances. It sounds good and is in great effect but I hate it." He looks at me in surprise. "Why?" "I only copy people and I don't have my own original semblance. I rip off other people. Every time I'm in a battle with someone, I can pick up their semblance and use it against them. Then, they're stored in my memory so I can use that specific semblance whenever I need to. Except for semblances I can't see. I can only copy semblances I can physically see." "So Clover's semblance and my semblance, you can't copy." "Exactly." There was a few seconds of silence. "You know, other than Clover, you're the only one that knows what my semblance is. I've always been ashamed of it so I trained harder with my weapon and not use my semblance as much. I mean, I don't want to rely on it." "I still think it's far better than having my semblance." "Even so, you can't let it get you down. You can always take a misfortune and turn it into good fortune. Like that flower from the party, for example." "Qrow, we better get moving." Clover calls out. "If you die, I'm gonna kill you." I said to my brother. "Don't worry sis, I'm not gonna die. Have I ever steered you wrong?" "I guess not." He walks back in the ship. "I guess you better go. Uh, safe travels hug?" I asked kinda awkwardly. "Heh, sure. Could always need some other good luck that isn't from your brother." I laughed a bit as we shared a hug. We hear Grimm in the distance. "Well, at least I'll kill some time." I said. "You be safe too, alright." He says to me. I wanted to do something before I left. I started blushing. Screw it, I'm going for it. I thought to myself and kissed Qrow on the cheek and ran to fight Grimm. "Be safe!" I call out still blushing. I couldn't stop thinking about what I did but was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Grimm coming toward me. I get my weapon ready and fight. After fighting off Grimm for a while, I sat down to catch my breath and was gonna get my scroll to tell James about the Grimm in Mantle, but I heard Ruby's voice. "Ironwood's declaring Martial Law and abandoning Mantle! Salem is coming and he's going to use the staff to move Atlas. If we don't stop him, then Mantle's going to be des-" She was cut off. I was shocked. What? I need to go to Atlas and give James a piece of my mind. I got onto one of the ships that were carrying people to Atlas. Has James lost his damn mind? I make it to Atlas and look for James in his study. I had a feeling he's be there and I was right. "James, what are you thinking?" I asked pretty mad and upset. He just turned to me, walk toward the door, and said, "I'm sorry it has to come to this, my friend." As he leaves the study and closes the door. I try to leave but it's locked. I widen my eyes in shock, fear, and panic. He knows I'm petrified of being locked in a room like this. There are no windows or any other way to get out. I call out to James to let me out but got no response. I started to break down.
