The Tale of Team SASA
Stray
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA few weeks had passed since Sunset's panic attack in the lunch room, and in that time, Cardin had gotten his ass kicked by all three Sirens because he was blackmailing Jaune, but in the end it didn't matter. Apparently Ozpin already knew Jaune had faked his transcripts. Sunset had also threatened to scream attempted rape if he didn't stop picking on Faunus. Cardin quickly got his act together after that. Yes it was a dirty move, but she didn't care.
At the moment Sunset was sitting at a café near the docks, a cup of coffee in her hand. She didn't know why she had taken such a liking to the sea, maybe it was because she had become sisters with the Sirens? Looking around, she saw none other than Team RWBY, Blake and Weiss were starting to have an argument. "Better stop this before it gets out of hand." Placing some lien on the table and finished her coffee before hopping the low metal fence around the outside portion of the building.
Blake crossed her arms as Sunset approached her from behind, though neither she nor Weiss noticed this. "The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection-"
"Of Faunus who used to use peaceful protests to try and improve the way Faunus are treated by humans." The team turned and saw Sunset standing there, hands in her pockets and a cocky smirk on her face. "They only started to act violent when their previous leader stepped down, and the new leader tried to use violence instead of peace to get respect. Sadly, it worked and while Faunus are being treated better these days, there are and always will be those who see the Faunus as nothing but animals...." Sunset's hand absent mindedly drifted to where he second set of ears used to be.
Sunset shook her head and looked at Weiss. "Faunus aren't evil, and the White Fang are simply misguided, though they have taken their actions to the extreme and, sometimes, beyond. That's not to say that all Faunus are good. There are some of them who are the scum of Remnant, but the same can be said about humans, Weiss."
"I know that but-"
Sunset held up a hand to silence her before turning to Blake. "What you need to understand Blake, is that Weiss and her family are, in fact, victims... Shipments attacked, family friends simply vanishing into thin air, I know that the more radical members of the White Fang have outright executed SDC board members... I wager that some have even attacked Weiss herself... You are both right to some degree, the White Fang have gone too far yes, but that's because they got tired of getting pushed around..." Blake looked away from the fire haired girl.
Sunset looked between the two, then looked at Blake's bow. "Weiss, do you trust Blake?"
Weiss was confused by the question. "What does-"
"Do. You. Trust. Her?"
Weiss stood there for a good few minutes, looking at Blake before nodding. "Yes, I trust her."
"Good." Sunset turned to Blake. "Take off the bow."
Blake stood still, eyes wide, when had Sunset figured it out? "Why do you want me to take off my bow?"
Sunset gave Blake a small smile. "You can build trust with someone, but it will fall apart unless you show them who you really are." When Blake didn't move Sunset gave her a small smile. "I already know your secret, so does my team. It really wasn't hard to figure out." Blake looked at Weiss then Ruby and then Yang, all of whom looked confused.
Blake slowly went to remove her bow, but retracted her hand before she was half way. "I'm not ready..."
"People rarely are. It's your choice Blake, but you know that the fallout will get worse the longer you wait..." Sunset stuck her foot out to the side, tripping the monkey Faunus who was running from a pair of detectives, though he managed to get up and escape before they caught him.
Yang looked at the quickly retreating Faunus. "Well, that happened. What was that about, you know him Sunset?"
"Yeah, I know him, well I know about him, he's here for the tournament. His name is Sun Wukong he's a bit of a trouble maker, but not a bad person. He was born in Vacuo but he moved to Mistral and now attends Haven academy. He's the leader of Team SSSN, a team consisting of him, Scarlet David, Sage Ayana and Neptune Vasilias. Uses a collapsible staff that can separate into two pairs of nunchuks named Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang." Sunset looked at the group and saw some really concerned looks coming her way. "What?"
"How do you know all that?" Sunset shrugged in response.
"I've got a good memory and Adagio is obsessed with preparing for any possible team we go up against in the tournament. She even went all out in researching you guys and Team JNPR. That's why she knows not to use her Semblance against Nora... It's almost noon, I promised the girls I'd meet up with them to catch the new Spruce Willis movie. Oh and Blake, you really should tell them before it's too late. Ciao for now!" With that the fire haired girl walked off.
That night...
As they sat in their dorm room the four sisters talked. "So you just called Blake out? In front of her team? In front of a Schnee?" Sunset nodded. "Why?"
"You know that I hate it when Faunus hide their animal traits... It makes them look like their afraid... It makes them look like their weak... I know that what... That man did to me and his other victims scared a lot of Faunus, but them hiding what makes them Faunus means that people like him are wining. Look can we talk about something else? I feel like an asshole for what I did today, I'm going to get Blake alone tomorrow so I can apologize..."
"Ok then... What do you want to talk about? The dust shop robberies?" Sunset nodded. ".... You want to catch the thieves don't you?" Sunset nodded again. "Fine then. What do we know about what's happening?"
"They leave the money behind, so it might be that Torchwick guy Ruby fought before school started... With the amount that's been stolen it could be the White Fang, they're basically a small army these days... Whoever it is, they've been hitting the major dust shops... So they're probably going for quantity and not quality... Hey Sonata!"
The ponytailed girl looked up from her scroll and.... Whatever she was doing. "Yeah?"
"Hack in to the SDC database and find out when the next shipment is coming into Vale." Sonata raised an eyebrow.
"Uh why?"
"Because we think who ever it is that's been robbing dust shops will attack the next major SDC shipment. And we're going to stop them." Stars appeared in Sonata's eyes.
"We're gonna play hero? For realzies?" Rolling her eyes, Sunset nodded. "Yay!" Sonata began tapping on her scroll and in under a minute she had a list of all the dust shipments coming into Vale for the next month. "Ok, the next SDC freighter is going to dock... Three days from now..."
"Ok girls, get some rest. Cause in three days, we're going to stop a robbery."
Three days later.
"Damn it. I was hoping we would beat them here." Team SASA, clad in the uniforms of some White Fang members they had... Talked with, arrived just in time to see Blake run up behind Torchwick, pressing Gambol Shroud to his throat.
"Nobody move!" The Sirens started to move in, but Sunset put an arm out to stop them.
"Girls, stay in the shadows, we're going to wait in that Bullhead and see what happens." The Sirens began to protest. "Trust me, Blake can handle this."
A few minutes later Roman Torchwick ran into the bullhead, ready to escape. "These kids just keep getting-"
"Trickier?" Roman turned around, only to a face full of guitar. He flew out of the bullhead, past an orange haired girl and come to a stop at Ruby's feet. Stepping out of the bullhead the four sister watched as the four Hunters in training readied their weapons. The four kept approaching stopping only once they were a few steps away from them. "Blake, Ruby how are you two doing?"
While Sun and the orange haired girl kept their weapons ready while Blake and Ruby lowered theirs. "Sunset? It that really you?"
Taking off their masks the girls smirked at the four confused teens. "White may look good on Weiss, but it's definitely- And where do you think you're going?" Adagio wrapped her whip around Roman's leg as he tried to get away. Aria walked over, cracked her knuckles and gave Roman a sinister smile.
"Mommy!"
A minute later Roman was unconscious and Aria was handing Sunset Melodic Cudgel.* "Oh yeah, trophy!"** When sirens began to approach Sunset looked at the group. "Hey, we gotta run, don't want to get caught in this mess wearing White Fang uniforms, would ruin our reputations, ya know? Can't exactly take them off either, we're only wearing bra's and underwear!"
Without saying another word the four ran off. Sun broke the silence. "What in Oum's name just happened? Were those the Dazzling Sunsets?"***
"Yep."
"And you two are friends with them?"
"Correct."
"... Think you could get me their autographs? My team would be so jealous!"
"They attend Beacon, so you can ask them yourself. They'll give you their autographs... For fifty lien."****
