It was now full night at Vale, as General James Ironwood was looking, outside, at the town infront of him, before Glynda walked up to him...
Glynda:"Trouble sleeping?" she asked him.
Ironwood:"Arm was acting up." he responded to her while touching his arm, for an unknown reason.
Glynda:"Of course, so logically, you got out of bed, dressed yourself completely and decided to gaze menacingly out inot the distance. What's wrong?" she asked him in a worry tone.
Ironwood:"I trusted him for years. We both have. I just.....I can't help but feel like he's keeping us in the dark."
Glynda:"Don't be ridiculous! You know very well that we are not the ones in the dark."
Ironwood:"That makes it worse! I refuse to believe that a man I've trusted for so long....would act...passively."
Glynda:"You're a good person. James. You've always done what you think is best for the people, even against strong protest. It's admirable. But it's high time you stopped talking about trust and started showing it. Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering." she said as she put an hand on Ironwood's shoulder as the General sighed.

Meanwhile back at Mountain Glenn, our young Hunters and Huntresses were still sleeping, except for Ruby who was out there killing Grimms, until she start getting annoyed too.

Jaune then woke up all of the sudden as he started shaking Y/n.
Jaune*whisper*:"Y/n your awake?"
Y/n*whisper*:"............Yes."
Jaune*whisper*:"What do you think is gonna happened when we go back to Beacon? Like, what's gonna happened after we-" he then stopped himself to check if the other teams were awake, luckly they were still sleeping.
Y/n*whisper*:"It can two ways. Knowing the Headmaster he'll probably want to test us and ask us what are we gonna do with them. If we chose to expell them then Ruby will be alone with no other teammate to support her, even though it will be satisfying having the trio out of the way, it won't be for Ruby. Remember that Yang is her sister."
Jaune*whisper*:"And on top of that she'll be mad at us, if she think we were using her for getting more infos." he then look over Ruby to see her resting.
Y/n*whisper*:"The second way to make this right, is to keep them."
Jaune then scoffed, before Y/n whispered him to be quiet because the others could hear them.
Jaune*whisper*:"Then what do you think we should do?"
Y/n then lean closer to his ear as Jaune start blushing, as she whispered him how exactly they are gonna deal with them.
Jaune*whisper*:"Yeah, it actually can work." he said with a smile on his face , before he laid back on the ground and look at the stars and closed his eyes.

Hours have passed, as Ruby was sleeping like a baby, until Zwei start licking her face waking the little Rose up.
Ruby the yawn as she look over the dog.
Ruby*whisper*:"Zwei, it's late go back to bed." she said, before all the sudden the dog start running away.
Ruby*whisper*:"Zwei! Zwei!!" she then got up and start running after the dog, as Yang was watching over her teammates.
Ruby start searching everywhere for Zwei.
Ruby*whisper*:"Zwei! Zwei where are you?!? Zwei!!"
Then all of the sudden she heard the sound of pissing as she turn to see Zwei doing that.
Ruby then sighed, before walking up to Zwei.
Ruby:"Zwei, this is a wasteland. You literally could have done that anywhere."
Zwei then bark, however his bark got the attention of someone else other than the Hunters and Huntresses attention.
???:"What was that?" someone asked as Ruby grabbed Zwei and hide inside of an abandoned building.
Then another person start speaking.
???:"What was what?" he asked to his companion.
Ruby then reached her head a little bit, seeing that there were two White Fangs.
White Fang:"I thought I heard a Beowolf or something." he responded to his companion.
White Fang 2:"Hmmmm, Let's just finish our patrol and get back to base. This place gives me the creeps." he said, before him and his companion walk into another direction.
Ruby and Zwei decided to follow the duo, quietly and stealthy and they were doing great.
Ruby*whisper*:"Did they go in yet? One bark means yes." she said.
Zwei then did a quiet bark as in approval.
Ruby*whisper*:"Oh, this it. This is it!" she then grab her scroll and wanted to call her other teammates and friends to warn them about the situation, but unfournately there was a low signal.
Ruby*whisper*:"Aw man!" she then scoffed, before she regain her courage.
Ruby*whisper*:"Come on, we gotta get the others." she said as Zwei followed her, until they heard the ground trembling as all the sudden a hole opened in the ground as both her and Zwei were about to fall down, until Ruby manage to hold still, but it wasn't enough as they both fell in the hole.
.

Once Ruby regain her senses she found that she didn't fell into the darkness and lose her life, she found out a secret underground town, but before her excitement could've sky rocket, two White Fangs were now pointing their weapons at her.
White Fang 3:"You're a long way from home, little girl." he said cockly.
Ruby then tried to reach for Crescent Rose, only to remember that she left it up in the other city.
Ruby:"Oh, no."
The White Fang then grab Ruby by her arm and tried to drag her.
Ruby:"Hey, hands off!!!" she said as she got rid of the grip fo the White Fang.
Ruby then got into a boxing position as she punched the White Fang in the chest, and was about to punch him in the face, until the White Fang parry her hit and smack her in the face.
Ruby then fell on the ground as she held her cheek in pain.
White Fang 3:"The boss is gonna wanna see this one."
The fourth White Fang then walked up to Ruby and kick her in the face, knocking her out cold.

Yang then start yawing as she was tired of guarding, before she walked up to a sleeping Pyrrha.
Yang*whisper*:"Hey, Pyrrha. It's your turn to-" she then look at one pillow with a Rose mark on it as all of the sudden she got worried.
Yang:"R-Ruby? HEY, EVERYONE WAKE UP!!! RUBY IS MISSING!!!"
Everybody then start waking up to due Yang's scream.
Oobleck:"What?!?"
Ren:"What's going on?" he asked.
Y/n then remove her top hat, as she start calling for her dog that was previously a Beowolf, Daisy.
Y/n:"Daisy, start searching for Ruby." she said to the dog as Daisy eyes glowed purple at the order given as she start sniffing Ruby's scent as Y/n and Jaune followe Daisy.
Oobleck:"Everyone grab your weapons!! One of the leader may be in trouble!"
.
.
.
.
.
Ruby then start regaining her senses as she find herself tied up on a chair.
White Fang 4:"Oh, Hey boss!! We found something you might wanna see!" he yelled.
???:"Is it good or bad, Perry? Because let me tell you....I have had a day."
White Fang 4:"Erm......It's a little girl."
Then the boss himself showed up........Roman Torchwick.
Roman:"That would be bad." he said smoking his cigarette.
.
.
.
.
.
Nora:"Look it's Ruby's scythe!!"she said as Daisy manage to find her scent.
Yang:"O-Oh, no."
Jaune:"Do you think she fell?"he asked Y/n.
Y/n then kneel down and touched the ground, as she start feeling negative energy coming from down there as well as one positive.
Yang:"S-So?!? What about Ruby?!?" she asked Y/n.
Y/n:"She's down there."
Oobleck:"Of couse, of course, of course, of course!!" he said as the students look at him in confusion.
Blake:"What are you talking about Dr. Oobleck?"
Oobleck:"How could I be so stupid?!?"
Yang:"Dr. Oobleck, what's wrong?!?"
Oobleck:"Mountain Glenn!! An expansion of Vale that was inevitabily destroyed by the creatures of Grimm. Previously home to thousands of people. Working people, commuting to the city. the main city. Developed a subway system to the inner city! Grimm's attacks increase population in danger, now desperately searching for shelter! City evacuates into metro tunnels and what do they find?!? The southeast quadrant of Vale is known for wild forests and deep caves!"
Pyrrha:"Doctor Oobleck whar are you trying to say?"
Jaune:"That we're not just looking for an underground crime network."
Blake:"We're looking for a underground crime netmork!! They have been working down there for atleast a month from now."
Axel:"Like and underground Village?"
Oobleck:" No, a mining.....a Dust mining."he then grab his weapon.
Oobleck:"We have to find her, now!!"
