Search and Destroy

Start from the beginning
                                    

Yang: (Also leaning over) Those are Brussels.

Megatron: he mean a few fights.

Oobleck: (Continuing) Besides, given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabblings in the archaeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw fit to assign me to this particular... assignment!

Weiss: What does history have to do with this?

Megatron: everything with out the wisdom of those long past we may not know what we do today.

Oobleck: exactly Megatron. Why, what a preposterous question, you silly girl! Why, history is the backbone of our very society! And the liver! Probably the kidneys, if I were to wager.

Weiss: And that means..?

Oobleck: The southeast quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forests and deep caves, but it is also the location to one of the kingdom's greatest failures!

Ruby: Mountain Glenn.

Yang: That's right! It was an expansion of Vale... but in the end it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city.

Oobleck: Correct! And now it stands abandoned as a dark reminder.

Blake: And a likely place for a hideout.

Oobleck: Precisely!

Megatron: vary cleaver.

(The airship comes in over a spot of street amidst the ruined buildings and structures of the ruined area. It hovers right above the ground as Yang, Megatron, Blake, Oobleck, Weiss, and Ruby all jump out of the craft with weapons drawn and ready)

(minus the doctor, who simply holds his coffee canister before the ship flies away from the destruction)

Oobleck: Ladies! And Men! You still may be students, but as of this moment, your first mission as Huntresses and huntsman has begun! From this point forward, you need to do exactly as I say! Do you understand?

(We all nod, but he suddenly looks at Ruby, startling her.)

Oobleck: Ruby! I thought I told you to leave all of your bags back at school.

Ruby: But, uh, you hadn't told us to listen to you yet. So I didn't.

Oobleck: (To himself) She's not wrong... Very well, Ruby; leave your bag here, we can pick it up upon our return.

Ruby: But I, well uh-

Oobleck: Young lady, what in the world could you possibly have in that bag that could be so important to bring it with...

(Stops as the bag's zipper opens and out pops Zwei's head, causing everyone to stare at the uninvited guest.)

Megatron: you brought the dog?

Ruby: (Whispering) Get back in the bag.

(Zwei merely barks in response)

Oobleck: We're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility, and you brought... a dog?

Ruby: I, uh...

Oobleck: Genius!

(Backs away long enough for Ruby to give a confused shrug before speeding past and snatching the pet away from Ruby, who tumbles to the ground as Oobleck spins Zwei in the air.)

Oobleck: Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of sound, making them excellent companions for a hunt such as ours!

(Zwei barks happily in his hands.)

Ruby: I'm a genius!

(Weiss and Yang both facepalm at their grinning leader and Megatron just look at her and put his hand to his face)
