And that all happened in a matter of days. Luckily for Twilight and Tai. Qrow was away on a long term mission. Meaning they never had to truly hide what they were doing from anyone. Allowing Ruby, Yang and Twilight to train in the most extreme way possible. Ruby wasn't feeling the effects like Twilight felt however. Ruby innate ability to turn into a warrior helped her greatly.

Twilight on the other hand was born to be a mage or wizard. She simply could not keep up at times. But that is where Twilight shone more than the stars around her. She simply did not give up. Even if her body did at times. It forced her to take more breaks than Yang or Ruby. But she would keep going until she succeeded her training.

At the early stages this meant that she would be training for the whole day. Whereas Ruby or Yang were done in less than five hours. And while that gave those two the chance to train their already well versed combat maneuvers and to spar. Tai simply joined Twilight, no questions asked. He was done also in five hours, but despite that, he continued to train alongside Twilight. He did that to both encourage Twilight and to keep an eye on her.

When Twilight wasn't training, she was eating her well kept diet. From nuts and fruit. To vegetables and oats. She maintained an healthy but very strict diet. And while she loved cookies as much as Ruby. She only gave herself one, when she succeeded in something. As a prize if you will. Regardless, she wasn't the only one. The whole household maintained this diet.

What is their train schedule you might ask? Well... Early in the morning at six O'clock in the morning everyone wakes up. Refreshed themselves then headed outside with a reasonably light clothing. They begin by walking towards an mountain for an hour. Then hike up the mountain for an hour. This involved up and down. And as soon as they are done, and also down the mountain. They would run back home for an hour by taking a massive detour. Since the actual distance of running from the mountain to home was only a minute minutes. And although at first Ruby was the fastest, due to Twilight sheer light weight, she would sometimes race Ruby back home. Coming in a close second several times. This was after Twilight got used to running that much.

After their run, they would stretch for a bit. Then begin the second set of the training. They would continue to perform push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts and whole other host of similar exercises. These were the hardest for both Ruby and Twilight. Although any exercise was hard for Twilight. For Ruby this was even harder, since she lacked the flexibility that Twilight had. Regardless at some point in the week. Everyone in the household did these exercises without complaining about it.

After that, if Twilight managed to complete her training in time, they would spar and train their bodies with whatever weapon they had chosen. Yang performed some incredibly powerful but surprisingly flexible attacks. Her attack pattern had evolved the moment Ruby could hit Yang consistently. Whereas Ruby trained the sword and shield dominantly. And would throw in some other weapons here and there. Her ability to switch was remarkable. To the point that she nearly overpowered Tai of all people.

Twilight's combat style was really unique and not unique at the same time. Her strength laid in her ability to analyze her enemy in the middle of heavy combat. Something she showed off by winning from Tai at full strength once. Something that caught everyone off guard. Especially Tai.

She was a true martial artist, whereas Tai and Yang dominantly used kickboxing. Twilight used a lot of eastern styles. A lot of ancient styles. And she would switch so fluidly, that unless you are as fast as Ruby or as experience as Tai, you will simply not catch it in time. She would sometimes switch combat styles in the middle of a punch.

Though her punches were weak, if you compared it to Tai or Yang. She made up for that. By using her knowledge of aura and the human body. If you hit a person at a specific location, most could faint right here and then. Add a little strength, and it appears as if she can hit a person as powerful as Yang OR Tai. Something that could catch most combat orientated enemies off guard.

That remained Tai. The dragon warrior. The strongest none silver eyed warrior in all of Patch and Vale combined. He was strong, like really strong. Yang could hit like a truck, Tai hits like a tank and a train were fused. And that was with each punch. He was fast and extremely strong. He truly earned the title dragon and hunter with honor. Something that was apparent several times. He could beat Ruby and Yang with ease. Though he always struggle with Twilight. Since Twilight cancels him perfectly. This created a perfect rivalry.

And as last, after everything is said and done. They would meditate. Every evening, all person of the household would meditate. Even if Twilight wasn't finished. She would meditate. It was a way for the body to learn all the moves they taught themselves during the day. This is what each day would look like. In fact that was how yesterday went, everyone was sleeping. A deep but alert sleep. Everyone could wake up as soon as they felt a threat. Atleast normally everyone could. Twilight wasn't just sleeping. She was dreaming. Dreaming up a vision. A horrible vision.

'In the dream world.

Twilight was casually walking to Patch capital city to grab some groceries. When out of nowhere, Twilight noticed a baby Nevermore flying over Patch. This was nothing special. Or would have been nothing special, if the sound of some kind of alarm didn't ring afterwards. She watched as people is fear who heard the alarm, run towards the nearest shelter. She was however too confused to follow.

That is when something awful happened. A massive hoard of Grimm blows up the wall on Patch. As thousands of Grimm flood the city. She ran up onto a rooftop to get a better view. And what she saw, looked like the end of the world. Beowolves of many sizes, Nevermores of many sizes. And thousands, millions of unknown Grimm flood Patch.

She watched as civilians, left and right. Get killed by Grimm. And there is nothing she can do. The military gets in mere
seconds overwhelmed. Forcing thousands to flee. In the end. She could simply watch and do nothing. She then saw an massive Nevermore dive for her. It was about to pounce, when her dream ended.'

Twilight practically jumped out of her bed in fear. And it took her several moments to realize that it was merely a dream... Or a vision. She was unsure. Regardless, scared shitless, Twilight exited her room to grab a glass of milk downstairs. She was too afraid to go back to bed. She did this a quietly as possible. But Tai could still detect her walk downstairs.

He felt fear radiate from Twilight. Which woke him up proper. He looks at the staircase as he watched Twilight head into the kitchen for some milk. Usually Twilight kept close to her diet, unless she was spooked. In which case, she would drop her diet for a moment. Though drinking milk wasn't that bad, since it contained valuable calcium. Something Twilight could always use.

"Twilight." Tai said softly. Twilight turns around, showing that her eyes were filled with fear. She than runs up to hug Tai.

"Whats wrong?" He asked softly as he petted Twilight. Twilight was softly sobbing in his arms. She was too spooked to speak as she continued to sob in fear. Something that actually woke everyone else up in the house. Since Tai wasn't the only one feeling greedy. Ruby and Yang kept a close sense on each other. But also on Twilight. Just not as close. The fear wasn't detected, but her sadness was. However they detect Tai close-by. So they didn't act as well.

After a solid minute. Twilight grabbed a chair in the kitchen. Her tears finally dry as she drank her milk to replenish her dry throat. Tai merely let her, he watched and waited for Twilight to be ready to speak. After a while, he could tell that Twilight was ready to speak, so before he let her begin. He put his hand on Twilight's shoulder. Something that Twilight didn't mind at all.

"I..." Twilight said softly, "I had a... dream. Or a vision. I can't tell."

"What did you see?" Tai asked surprised. His voice went serious the moment he heard the word 'vision'.

"I was buying groceries in Patch. When suddenly out of nowhere. A massive flood of Grimm attacked Patch. Overwhelmed it, and killed everyone." Twilight softly said, tears reappeared as she said so.

"Which Grimm?" Tai asked.

"Atleast those bird ones and Beowolves. But also plenty of Grimm I have never seen before." Twilight admitted.

"From which direction?"

"North... I think."

"I see. I believe you. Dreams or visions like these must always be taken serious. Because one wrong move and, well, you will die." Tai admitted. He brushed his beard with his hands as he focuses at the situation.

"When?" he asked again.

Twilight shook her head. "I suppose anywhere between right now and the next time I have to go for groceries."

"Was there anything out of the ordinary in that dream?" Tai asked as he hoped for a more certain date.

Twilight thought about it for a moment. "I remember seeing a baby Nevermore a few moments before the invasion."

"Nevermore... I see. I think I am starting to get a bigger picture of what is going on here." Tai admitted. It appeared that he realized a potential date.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked confused.

"What did I teach to you about Nevermores?"

"Uh. They usually act only when aggravated. By themselves, they don't normally attack humans. Unlike most Grimm. Since they are rare and large, they are the most ineffective Grimm during an invasion." Twilight stated, she continued to think about it. "And... On Patch there is a single nest of them."

Tai nodded pleased, "Exactly. The only reason they would attack. Is if their hive has been destroyed."

"But... We have left them alone for centuries. Why would anyone suddenly strike them?"

Tai frowned, "I am unsure. Even the witch is unlikely to do this. She hates lies. So unless Patch somehow stepped on her toes. It's unlikely that she would act first."

"And honestly I don't see the wizard doing it either." Twilight offered. "Unless they did something to him. I doubt he would act."

Tai thought about it. Its then that he realized something. "Wait a moment. I remember seeing a bounty in Patch to clear out the hive of Nevermores." he suddenly mentioned. He searched his scroll for the bounty.

Twilight eyes widen as her state shifted from fear to worry. "Please tell me it hasn't been taken."

"Fuck!" Tai swore. His scroll showed that it had been taken. And that the group will depart tomorrow. Or well this morning at seven since the clock chimed that it was just passed twelve O'clock midnight.

"Who placed the bounty!" Twilight roared.

"Uhm..." Tai searched the bounty, his eyes then suddenly widen. "The Mayor of Patch! Under the advisor of Ozpin. Son of a bitch!"

"Ruby, Yang. Get down here!" Twilight shouted. She heard the two quietly arrive in front of them. Their battle gear ready.

"What is the matter?" Yang asked, she appeared worried.

"The fucking Mayor of Patch decided to clear out the Nevermore nest. And if Twilight's vision is anything to go by. This will result in an invasion." Tai explained. He appeared practically enraged.

"What do we do? We are just children." Ruby asked.

"We don't have a choice Ruby. Either we let them succeed and let them kill thousands of civilians in the process. Or stop them, pushing ourselves into danger. But potentially save thousands." Twilight admitted.

"Killing the nest will result in a devastating invasion of Grimm. They will attack Patch. Something Patch won't be ready for." Tai added for context. Ruby and Yang's eyes widen.

"Okay. Its clear we don't have a choice. What do we do?" Yang asked more serious.

"I want Twilight and Ruby block the entrance to the Nevermore Nest." Tai ordered. "Yang, you need to teach the group attacking the Grimm a lesson."

"Hell yeah! I will soften them up real good for you two!" Yang shouted slightly excited.

"Okay." Twilight said to Tai.

"Uhm. So how far do we need to block the entrance?" Ruby asked.

"As much as possible. If they won't leave kindly. Then force them out of commission. If that fails... Lethal force is permitted." Tai admitted slightly hesitant.

Twilight and Ruby gulped, "So no matter the cost. Right?" Twilight asked.

Tai nodded, "Meanwhile I am going to teach the Mayor a lesson. Not as lackey to Ozpin. But as the Dragon."

"Just don't kill him." Twilight joked. Causing Yang and Ruby to giggle. Tai sighed.

"I won't." Tai calmly confirmed.

"You are a lot stronger than before. Even if you aren't as strong as me. You might accidentally destroy his office if you aren't careful. Your control isn't as good as Yang." Twilight said in a slightly more serious tone. But she was smirking. Something that Tai didn't miss.

"I will get you back for that later. But don't worry. I will hold back... maybe."

Twilight, Ruby and Yang deadpanned at him, causing him to sweat a little. Before they all took turns shaking their heads.

"Ruby lead the way. I don't know the location of the entrance." Twilight asked as they began walking towards the entrance. Their walk quickly turned into running. As they rushed towards the entrance. Yang and Tai also rushed towards Patch. Yang diverted to search and hunt the group hunting the Nevermores. While Tai ran off towards the Mayor's office.

In a few moments, Twilight and Ruby arrived on scene. They find the entrance. It was blocked by a massive boulder. Which means, not only is nature itself blocking access, Twilight and Ruby are also now blocking access. Ruby decided to stay put and use her senses to the max. While Twilight searched the tree line for hidden enemies.

"Little sis. Yang found the enemies and is currently in combat." Ruby suddenly said as she sensed Yang in combat.

"Okay. Expect the worst. Prepare for the strongest hunters in the world to be our enemies." Twilight ordered.

"Yes." Ruby said as she calmed down. Her Paladin training was already working. She touched the hilt of her weapon several times, to place it in a ready position. Twilight meanwhile turned her senses up to eleven. As she prepared for the worst fight of her life.

It's then that Ruby's scroll went off. "Yes?" Ruby answered it. After a while of listening she hung up.

"It's a team send by beacon. They are students, but they have no teacher nearby. Yang was able to rough them up, but they were really strong. Even by her standards. After Yang's attack, they immediately departed."

"I understand." Twilight said, she started stretching her legs.

It was then that Twilight scroll went off. Twilight fumbled with it, until she picked it up. "Yes?"

"I see... Yes. We are in position. We are aware that its a team from beacon. Which team? Team toffee? First years... I see. Machine gun user, shield only user, mecha-weapon user... two of them. I see. Mayor also refused, but Beacon practically ordered it?!" Twilight said shocked. "I understand. Lethal force is fully permitted. Yes."

After that Twilight hung up since she detected the enemies on the horizon. "Enemies are nearby."

Twilight then stood besides Ruby as she waited for the enemies to arrive. "Lethal force permitted."

"Understood." A super calm version of Ruby stated. She calmly looked towards Twilight.

Then after what seemed to be several minutes. Team of Beacon of arrived. It appear that the machine gun user and shield only user appeared injured. The mecha-weapon users just appeared a bit tired. The team instantly took note of the two armed children in their way.

"Step aside! Hunter business!" The leader being the shield only user shouted.

Twilight shook her head, "We refuse. You are making a massive mistake by attacking this hive. We will not let you past."

As soon as Twilight was done saying exactly that. The mecha-weapon user charged at Twilight. Only for Ruby to punch the mecha user in the belly. Causing her to get flung backwards into some trees. Much to the shock of her fellow teammates. It was then that Twilight took advantage of the surprise and attacked the shield only user. The shield user blocked the strike, only to get pushed off his defensive position and back several feet.

One of the machine gun users reloaded his weapon, giving Twilight precious time to charge him. Before he finished reloading, Twilight German suplexed him into the ground. Giving him no time to react. He hit his face into the dirt with such force, that the ground cracked under the pressure. His aura broke instantly as he came to rest on the ground. Not moving, but alive.

His fellow teammates realized that they weren't just facing some children. They were facing warriors in training. And despite their weapons, they were out-matched. Numbers had no effect. With one teammate stuck in the trees, and another knocked out cold. This left one Mecha-weapon user and the shield user to defeat the duo. And they both noticed that Ruby had yet to even pull out her sword. While the martial artist demolished one of their teammate with a single action.

In a desperate attempt to win, the mecha user charged Ruby. Her weapon struck Ruby, but nothing happened. Ruby didn't move and her weapon is stuck. Ruby then grabbed the face of the mecha user and slammed it into the ground. Knocking her out cold instantly. She broke the weapon of the mecha user, before dropping it to the ground. This left the shield user alone.

He sighed, "I surrender."

Twilight smiled, "Okay." as she knocked him out cold with a simple chop to the back of the head. She made sure to do the same to the one stuck in the trees. "There, the opponent team is down."

Ruby sighed in relieve as her calm exterior melted to show a more friendly if sad smile. "I wish I didn't have to fight them."

"You barely did anything." Twilight slightly pouted. Ruby giggled as she ruffled Twilight's hair.

"I know. Let's call dad." Ruby said as she pulled out her scroll.

"Dad?" Ruby said through the scroll.

"How were they?" Dad asked through the scroll.

"Unprepared. But they are atleast alive. They might be fine, but considering what we did to two of them. They might need some hospital beds." Ruby calmly said.

"And the other two?"

"One was stuck in the sticky trees for the short duration of the fight. And the other surrendered."

Ruby heard Dad sigh in relieve on the other side of the scroll. "Good. Very good. I told the Mayor that I send my children to protect the hive. He wasn't very happy. But did understand the necessity of it. He is sending you an extraction VTOL for the beacon students. You two await them, help get them on board. Then meet me in Patch."

"I assume we need to walk, yes?" Ruby asked.

"Yes. The VTOL is for the beacon students only. Besides I am sure the quick run allows you two to empty your minds for a bit."

Ruby smiled, "That is true. Twilight is already moving every student into position for extraction."

"Good. Meet you at Patch." Tai said as he hung up.

Tai watched that Mayor approach him. The Mayor looked worried at Tai. "Tai... I am grateful for your assistance. But... Due to the nature of this interference Beacon has to send over a teacher." he warned.

Tai sighed, he knew that this would happen. "I see. That is fine. Who is it?"

That question made the Mayor look slightly optimistic. "It's professor Goodwitch. Miss Glynda with other words."

Tai's eyes widen slightly. "And did Beacon mention why they chose to send her in particular?"

"She offered to investigate. Or so Beacon said. The council of the school itself send her. Not sir Ozpin." The Mayor said, he appeared slightly pleased with that. He was somewhat aware of Tai's current situation. Twilight was a friendly girl. She told him under the guise that he kept it a secret. Something he would gladly do.

"I see... And how are you..." Tai was about to ask, but the Mayor pointed at a picture of Twilight. And it told him all he needed to know. He sighed in exasperation.

"Mister Taiyang. Please do not worry. I understand. Please, I understand your situation. And I am just glad that your two daughters were atleast alive. Twilight merely wanted to make a friend outside of her household. Somehow she knew that befriending me was the right thing to do." The Mayor admitted slightly worried at Tai's sigh.

Tai shook his head, "I know. Don't worry. It's just... I wish she told me about it."

The Mayor smiled as he patted his shoulder. "They are young. Give it time. Now then, I believe our guest has arrived." he said as he saw a VTOL with the Beacon logo on it, land onto the private helipad. The doors opened, revealing Miss Glynda arriving on scene. And just as she did so, the VTOL that extracted the students, flew over them and towards the hospital.

"Lady Goodwitch. It has been a while." The Mayor greeted with a soft smile.

Glynda looked up to see Tai standing next to the Mayor as she nodded, "That it has. I just wish it was under better circumstances."

The Mayor blinked, "Is that? What seems to be the problem than?"

"We lost contact with our first year group of student that were on a extermination mission." Glynda stated, she probed Tai for a response got nothing from it. Tai had a strong poker face. He revealed no emotions to Glynda.

"Ah! I understand." The Mayor suddenly chimed up, "We received an emergency beacon from the entrance leading to the nest. The student were wiped out, and the VTOL that flew past extracted them in time. Tai's children happen to wander in that area. They extracted them."

Glynda looked surprised at the Mayor. "Is that so? How were they?"

"My daughter Ruby explained that she saw some kind of ambush." Tai stated, "Two unknown individuals wiped the floor with them. Luckily Ruby and my new child Twilight, managed to scare the ambush off. Which left the hunters-in-training with minor injuries and knock out cold."

Glynda's expression softened, "You got a new child?"

"Adopted. Yes. She did something for me, I didn't want to send the child back to the streets. So we adopted her." Tai said, finally breaking his poker face with a smile.

Glynda nodded impressed. "I see. And where are your children?"

"They are on route. I asked them to keep a look out on more potential ambushes. But if all goes well, they will arrive in a minute or so."

The Mayor looked towards the entrance of Patch. "Speaking of the devil. There they are." he said as he points in the direction of Ruby and Twilight.

Ruby and Twilight noticed the Beacon professor and slowed down to appear to simply walk their direction. Ruby moved to hug Tai. Whereas Twilight took a stop in front of the Mayor.

"Are you alright sir?" Twilight politely asked the Mayor.

The Mayor and Glynda smiled at the polite question. "I am fine. Who were the ambushers?" he asked with a blink.

Twilight blinked for a moment, before regaining her composure. "Ah... We didn't get a good look of them. They were clothed with black colors and had a Grimm Mask on them."

"On their face?" Glynda asked, she hoped it wasn't, but you never know.

"No. They had a scarf on her face. It was on the side of their face." Ruby chimed in. As she was hugging Tai.

Glynda thought about it for a moment. She had an idea of who it might be, but without concrete evidence she left with basically nothing. "I see. Thank you for assisting the students. By the way, which hospital did they go?" she asked Ruby.

Twilight's eyes had a flash of worry. Something that the Mayor didn't miss. "Patch Hospital. But please give them a bit of time to recover. Surely they need some medical attention first. Why don't you visit Tai's home in the meantime? I will message you, when they are recovered enough to speak." The Mayor interfered.

Glynda noticed that oddity of that statement. They were just knock out cold, right? So why would they need to recover first? Tai also noticed the massive hole in that statement. But he said nothing. Instead he decided to encourage it.

"Well. It has been a while." Tai admitted, "And besides I finally managed to pull myself together. How about a lunch cooked by yours truly?"

Glynda looked surprised at Tai. "I... Sure." She said slightly hesitant. She appear to take a second to fully grasp what Tai just admitted, but as soon as she did. She decided that she wanted to see the new Tai. And also she hadn't had lunch yet.

"Yang!" Tai shouted, everyone saw Yang walk out of a ice cream shop. "We have to go."

"Okay." Yang said smiling.

"Did you grab ice cream?" Ruby asked incredulous.

"What? No! I have a strict diet! I can't just break that." Yang said shocked at the statement. "One of my friends of Signal works there. I was just chatting."

"That didn't stop them from nearly force feeding you ice cream though." Tai commented.

"I know. But I told them about my diet. And they understand."

Twilight nodded pleased. "Good. Otherwise you would have to go through the punishment again."

Yang, Tai and Ruby shuddered at the thought."Never again..." Ruby mumbled.

"How... strict is your diet now then?" Glynda wondered.

"Very strict." Tai admitted. "We eat a specific amount of meat, grains, fruit, vegetables each and every single day."

"Our 'candy' is comprised of dried vegetables or fruit. All of them are dried at home to ensure limited sugar intake." Ruby explained.

"At first it was hard." Yang admitted, Twilight nodded in agreement. "But we got used to it."

"Of course when we have a guest. We switch it up." Tai admitted, "But the kids and I will eat our special lunch. And I will bake you something special."

Glynda blinked, "Actually. I am curious. I want to taste and test your current diet."

"Are you sure? This lunch is specifically made for us. Because we have an extremely difficult training sessions each day." Yang questioned, "We need each part of the lunch to an exact. Otherwise we will have difficulty during the training session."

"How exact?"

"Into the grams." Ruby replied. "We have a specific diet each person. You can have this many then, this many then, etcetera. Since our combat styles are so different."

Glynda was surprised at this. Diets this strict usually meant that either someone was in serious need to lose weight. Or you were training so intensely, that missing even a gram of fruit could be catastrophic. Since a person could collapse when not enough resources are inside the body. "In that case. What do you want to become?"

"As a fighter?" Twilight asked. They saw her nod.

"Well I am training to become a berserker Paladin with a mastery for sword and shield." Ruby admitted.

Glynda gasped at that, "Really?! No wonder your diet is so extreme then."

"I am continuing my current combat style. A flexible kickboxing style. Speed with strength. And adding a bit of unorthodox style to catch my opponents off guard." Yang admitted.

Glynda hummed, "How is that different from normal?"

"Well. Before my combat style was very close range that can easily be countered. Now I can grapple, I can shift to mid-range combat for more precise strikes. Or long ranged, in case that is required. Though the latter one, is the one I am still trying to improve." Yang explained.

"Interesting." Glynda said impressed. She turned her attention to Twilight, "What about you?"

"My style is polar opposite to Tai. I use extremely rapid speed and precise strikes to my opponent. These attacks are weak by nature, but because I use my knowledge of the body of my opponent against them mid-battle, these can hurt as much as strong attacks. I can also switch styles mid-punch. Tai uses strong direct attacks, I use weak effective strikes as my main weapon." Twilight explained.

"And then lets move on to me. My dragon style hasn't changed much. Besides the fact that I too, have become more versatile and flexible. Twilight and I both spar a lot. And believe me when I say this. Unless its me, most people won't be able to defeat her. Even I am struggling against her." Tai admitted, much to Glynda's shock.

"In fact I am currently in the lead by one point." Twilight added in the background.

"Yang's combat style is actually mid-range somewhat offensive move set. Ruby is one hundred percent power moves, with an added flexibility from being able to use, any weapon available to her. Twilight is a super martial artist, she knows every combat move from any martial arts. Her insane knowledge of herself and the world makes her insanely dangerous. Her combat style is extremely offensive. And finally my combat style is close combat, and slightly defensive." Tai explained.

"Wow." Glynda said surprised. "That is... quite powerful indeed."

"Now then. Shall we get going? Our home really isn't that far from Patch." Ruby said innocently.

"Big sis. fifty kilometers is far for most people." Twilight deadpanned.

"Eh. It really isn't that far. We can run across the entirety of the Patch Island in less than five minutes. And that is about five thousand kilometers on each side." Ruby said nonchalantly.

"Yes. Run. We are going to take a VTOL I assume." Twilight said as she looks at Glynda's expression. Glynda grimaced at the distance alone.

Glynda nodded, "Yes." she gulped, "Lets take the VTOL."

"Aw. Can we not just run back?" Ruby pouted, "The VTOL is far too slow."

"No. And that is final." Tai said ending the discussion right there and then.

Author's Note

I like this chapter. I actually changed the encounter at the end, since I initially had Qrow return from his mission. When I realized that it made no sense for Qrow to be the one to be back home already. So I changed it from Qrow to Glynda Goodwitch.

Also this chapter was really fun to make. Now I am thinking about a good image to use as representative to this book. I have an idea, but I lack experience in digital art of any kind. So either I find what I want, or I try to craft the image myself.
