Sunset sat at a table in the library with her sisters, watching in amusement as Team RWBY played a round of Remnant: the Game. To Sunset's delight Blake was no longer wearing her bow. "So..." Sunset glanced to the side and saw Sonata, who, one way or another, had managed to get a taco into the library. "You think they're going to do-"

"Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"

"Bring it on!"

"Never mind." Sonata went back to looking at her scroll which she was using to... Oh for the love of!

"Sonata! We talked about this! No shipping!" Sonata hissed at Sunset as the fire haired girl tried to take her scroll. "Give me the scroll or I'm going to pay the lunch workers to stop giving you tacos!"

Sonata's eyes widened in horror. "You wouldn't!"

Sunset narrowed her eyes and held out her hand. "Try me." For a second it looked like Sonata was actually going to give her the scroll. Looked like. "Gah!" Sunset pulled her hand back and started rubbing it to try and make the pain subside. "You bit me!"

"Nothing can stop love!" Sonata leapt over the table, avoiding Sunset's hand as she tried to grab her, before running to a window and jumping out. Thankfully she used her Semblance and didn't get hurt, nor did her waterproofed scroll.

Sun and his teammate Neptune just stared dumbly at the ponytail girls actions just as they walked into the room.

"... She bit me." Sunset mumbled in disbelief.

Adagio, who was doing her nails, just gave Sunset a look. "I warned you."

"'Sup, losers?" As Sun walked up behind Team RWBY Aria got up and began to slowly walk towards the group.

Ruby smiled at Sun, but her eyes slowly widened as she saw Aria approaching, cracking her knuckles as she did so. "Hey, Sun?"

"Ruby, Yang, Blake, Ice Queen."

"Why does everyone keep calling me that!?"

Ignoring her Sun continued. "I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend."

Aria simply stood there and in less than a minute after hearing his name, Neptune was on her shit list. 'Fucking flirts!' As Blake stood up and walked away, Aria decided she had waited long enough. "Hey, monkey boy!" Sun turned and immediately got a knuckle sandwich, his aura depleted in a single second, the blond fell to the ground unconscious.* The others looked at her terrified, but Aria simply walked away. "Teach him to leave banana peels lying around."


A few hours later.


Sonata had been hiding in the vents for a few hours now, trying to avoid Sunset so that she wouldn't get yelled at. Why the vents? Because none of her teammates would dare try and follow her. They were claustrophobic. She heard someone talking and glanced out through the slots in the vents. "Hello, what do we have here?" She was directly above Team RWBY's dorm.

"I just... I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Oh, it's Blake...

'Checkmate, Ladybug, Bumblebee, Kitty Magne- No Sonata, focus! Ship later, listen now!'

"Torchwick, the White Fang, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!"

"Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the Huntsmen I'm sure they can handle it."

Blake wasn't so sure. "Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do."

Weiss put her two lien in. "Ok, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the three of you think you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells... But once again let me be the voice of reason... We're students. We're not ready to handle this sort of situation."

'Oh... I'm definitely getting me and the girls in on this!'

"Okay!" Ruby raised her hand and went into a rapid fire speech that Sonata could barley understand. "All in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly bring down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale say 'aye'!"

"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!"

"Well I suppose it could be fun."

"Aye!" A large amount of seawater poured out of the ceiling vent behind Ruby and took the form of Sonata. "And I can get my sisters to help!" The four girls simply stared at the Siren dumbly before she ran out.

Yang pointed at the door. "Ok... Where did Sonata come from?"


The next day, after class.


Team SASA and Team RWBY had all gathered in Team RWBY's dorm "Right, everyone remember their roles?"

Weiss smirked. "You, Adagio, Sonata and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other dust robberies, or inconsistencies. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem."

Adagio nodded. "While Weiss is doing that Sonata and I will be contacting some of our dust suppliers, seeing if they've had any trouble as well." When Adagio looked at Weiss she saw a look of betrayal cross her face. "The SDC is infamous for their mistreatment of Faunus. Make your father start treating them fairly, then we might start buying dust from your family." Adagio turned to the no longer hiding Faunus. "What about you?"

"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning. Sunset will be going with me, sadly the only way I can see her getting in is by showing the guards her scars, and revealing the fact that she's one of Richard Rowan's victims." Team ASA looked at Sunset who seemed to unusually calm.

Sunset shrugged in response. "I'll be fine. I took some of my medicine earlier to calm me down, should last through the meeting. I have some extra in my pocket, just in case." Seeing the looks her teammates were giving her, Sunset gave a reassuring smile.

"Right, well I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale. Getting information out of him shouldn't be hard with both me and Aria there." Aria looked at Yang for a second.

"You wouldn't happen to be talking about Junior Xiong, would you?" When Yang nodded a sinister smile crossed Aria's face. "Oh this is going to be fun. I messing the place up after we get something out of him... If he doesn't give me the five thousand lien he owes me." They all looked at her skeptically. "No one stiffs me when I win a bet... Period."

"Great, we'll meet up tonight near Yang and Aria to go over what we found. Let's do this!"

"Yeah!" Sun dodged the jawbreaker that Aria threw at him.** "Ha, missed me!"

"Sun! How did you get up there?"

Sun was pretty much unfazed by the question. "Ah it's easy I do it all the time."

Sunset smirked at her team. "'You don't need to booby-trap our window!' they said, 'It'll be fine! Someone couldn't reach our window unless they could fly' they said! Well look who was right! This girl! Now pay up!" The Sirens begrudgingly handed her fifty lien each. "Oh, their talking again."

"Pfft, that's dumb. You should always get friends involved. That's why I brought Neptune." The eight girls all poked their heads out the window and saw the blue haired teen bracing himself against the wall.

"'Sup."

Ruby asked the question that was on all of their minds. "How did you even get up here?"

"I have my ways." Neptune looked down at the ground. "Seriously though, can I come in. We're like, really high up right now." A minute of helping the boy in, as well as the Sirens making Sunset a hundred and fifty lien richer, Ruby reiterated the plan.

"Alright, I'll go with Weiss. Sun you can go with Sunset and Blake." Ruby began pushing the blunette towards Yang and Aria. "And Neptune, you can go with Aria and Yang so it will be even as possible. Everyone good?"

"Actually Ruby, why don't you go with Yang, ha. After all she is your sister." Sonata saw what was happening and a smile grew on her face.

'Yes! My plans are working, and I didn't even try to start this ship yet! Wait, where are they going!?' Sonata's smile fell as Ruby dragged Weiss away. 'Noooooooooooooooo!' Adagio rolled her eyes, grabbed her sister and dragged her out as well. The other groups quickly left, heading to their own respective destinations.


On the Dragon Continent.


Nightmare was not happy. Word had reached her and Salem of Torchwick's capture and she was... Not taking it well, as evidenced when she threw a ball of condensed shadows at Tyrian Callows, the member of her and Salem's inner circle who had the misfortune of being the one to inform them of the setback to their plans. She turned towards her lover. "I knew this would happen! You can not trust a mortal to do a Goddess's job!"

"I apologize my Mistresses! B-but if it is any consolation, I have killed one of the Huntsman working with Ozpin! I even brought his body and blade back for one of your rituals Mistress Nightmare!" Tyrian was punished for speaking out of turn with another ball of shadows.

"You will speak only when spoken too bug!" Nightmare looked over the corpse of the Huntsman Tyrian had returned with. Greggory Haldbar was his name. A tan, red haired rhino Faunus, around six feet tall and weighing about one hundred forty pounds. "However, since you returned with this... Specimen for one of my rituals, and at Salem's insistence that you are still of use to us... I shall overlook my disappointment... This time. Do not return with any bad news in the future. Now leave my sight!"

Tyrian stood from his kneeling position and bowed once more. "Yes Mistress, I understand Mistress!" Tyrian fled the room at his Mistress' orders, as soon as he was out of sight Nightmare approached the corpse.

"Now what to do with you..." Nightmare lifted the body from the ground with her magic and began to inspect it. "Still in one piece, the muscles have yet to deteriorate... Yes, yes this will do nicely. Salem, my love." Salem had slowly approached the other woman as she had inspected the body. "What do you know of Necromancy?"


Author's Note

It was this incident that made the students visiting students from Atlas, Mistral and Vacuo fear having to face team SASA in the combat tournament.

Aria likes jawbreakers and keeps at least three of them on her person at all times.
