3rd Person POV
[Past]
Four months have passed after Yn voluntarily expelled and secretly graduated from the academy. And Union Academy have seen much change.
Yn's bullies felt pleased that a weakling like Yn has finally learned his place. But for some reason, they started to somewhat miss beating up Yn. So they did another approach. They intended to be in a force relationship with the girls who have no abilities or harass the faunus girls for messing their animal features.
Rias and Akeno didn't do anything to stop Issei for achieving his dream of becoming the harem king. In which the weak girls were being forced to be in a relationship with him.
They rest of Rias' peerage were somewhat concerned if they made the right choice of being in a peerage. Same goes for Issei's childhood friend, Irina Shidou an Ace Rank Angel.
Koneko did whatever she can to stop Issei's advances. But Rias ordered her not to interfere. Which is making her worried and having second thoughts of being with Rias. She felt pleased that Yn stuck with her beliefs of accepting women's privacy, which she was glad and proud that someone like him is in the same boat as hers.
Same goes for Kiba and Xenovia. Whenever they spar with their swords, their duel is somewhat empty. Without a third opponent of having a three way battle, then their duel is somewhat hopeless, which is Yn being with them sparring each other.
Rossweise is somehow feeling defenseless. Every time she tries to keep the bullies in the academy to be in check, they started to harass her, for she won't have a groom of her own in future and play her body all the time. But with Yn being around, she felt defensive being with him. But somewhat useless of not doing a good job keeping the students in check.
Team CRDL and team SSSN were somewhat the worst in the academy. CRDL kept on harassing any faunus girl they see and play on their features. SSSN have been invading women's personal space, just trying to swoon other female students against their will. That is when Blake Belladonna broke up with Sun Wukong. Whenever CRDL kept on harassing Velvet Scarletina, Coco Adel defends her all the time, the same goes for Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi protecting Velvet.
[Present]
Right now, a bullhead of Union Academy is seen flying in Union sky, carrying team RWBY, the Slayer Student Council, the Devil Student Council, and a few IS pilots, heading towards their destination. For they were given a mission from the headmasters.
[Flashback]
The selected students are seen in the elevator and entered the headmasters' office.
Claire: You called us, brother?
Judal: Indeed, dear sister.
James: There's something that we want you all to see.
Ironwood's twin sister displayed a 3D hologram between the headmasters and students. On the hologram, displayed a red dot flashing from a nearby forest.
Ruby: It looks like a distress beacon?
Weiss: I don't think so, Ruby. If it were, wouldn't an emergency channel come through to us, instead of not calling back to us?
Winter: You were right on that one Weiss. But something doesn't add up to what's in front of us.
Erica: Like what?
Jennifer: That's the thing. We didn't send a batch of students to that location. Or give out a recent mission on that location.
The selected were talking amongst themselves, confused and wondering what's going on. That's when Hundred Slayer Liddy realized something and had a thought. Claire was first to notice her vice president's train of thought.
Claire: Liddy, is something on your mind?
Liddy: Just a thought or a theory on what's in front of us.
Ozpin: Share it with us.
Liddy: You said that there was no mission given to you on that location. Right?
Jennifer: Yes.
Liddy: And you didn't send a batch of students to that location.
Winter: That's correct.
Liddy: Then how come our scanners were able to get the signal?
They were confused at first, until Jennifer was able to catch on Liddy's theory.
Jennifer: I think Liddy is on to something.
James: Care to share, Commander?
Jennifer: Whoever sent out this signal that our scanners picked up, must be someone who knows of our frequency wavelength.
James: This must be a trap to lure us out somehow. Someone must have known our signal, if we are to retrieve our students from their missions.
Glynda: You're being paranoid, James.
James: I'm being cautious.
Ozpin: Enough!
The two stopped fighting and arguing upon Ozpin's request. Then Ozpin looked towards the students.
Ozpin: We're not sure what it is. That's why I want you lot to investigate it. This is a recon mission. Nothing more, nothing less. If the mission has changed, report to us immediately. Your dismissed.
Students: Yes, sir.
[Flashback End]
When they arrived at their destination, they entered their battle and defensive stance, got their weapons, hundreds, and IS out. Then they started to look around. With Claire leading the group.
Claire: IS pilots. Anything on your side.
Houki: (com) Nothing on the scanners. No Grimm, no monsters, and no Savages in sight.
Rin: (com) Its like this area is completely wiped clear of them.
Claire: Hmmm, understood. (looks to Sona at her side) You feel anything, Sona?
Sona: I sense not a single presence nearby.
Liddy: Let's keep looking. We might cover more ground.
When the reached to an open area in the forest, they were surprised to see what they're looking at. The ground was covered in soil and holes. Plus some the trees near the open area were broken being taken down by an incredible force and its leaves have leftover ashes from the fire slightly burning them. There were even small bonfire still burning near the area.
Charlotte Dunois: A battle was taken place. Here in this very spot.
Liddy: Obviously.
Then their HUD and scroll scanners started to act up.
Yang: We're still getting that signal.
Blake: It's also nearby.
They got close to the homing beacon's location, until they were right where it is.
Claire: We're right on top of it.
They looked and saw a green camouflage trap covering up something.
The IS pilots removed the trap and revealed to be stacked up crates. A total of 18 crates.
Laura: These crates were carrying out that signal?
Liddy: That's most likely the case.
Erica: But what's in them?
When they opened them, they were surprised to see the very things that the crates hold:
Grimm Remains,
Variable Stones,
Savage Armor Plating,
Monster Remains and Droppings, and
Magic Stones.
That is when Weiss put the crates and the battle scars left in the area together.
Weiss: A horde. No. More like a stampede of Grimm, monsters and Savages were seen in this area. Then a battle took place on where they are and defeated. Then whoever was here, gathered them all here, in crates and in one spot right here. Then established a beacon where Union Academy can track it down and take them.
Liddy: That's good and all. But one question is still unanswered. Who set that beacon for us to find these crates?
While looking through the various items, Ruby took notice of something that seems out of place. So she grabbed for it.
Ruby: Claire!
Claire: What is it, Ruby?
Ruby: I found this one among the items in one of the crates.
She gave the Slayer leader some sort of communication device.
Claire: This must be important. (To Liddy) Call in a bullhead. We got what we came for. And we have to report to the headmasters.
Liddy called a bullhead and loaded all the cache that they've found into it.
[Timeskip]
When they returned back to Union Academy, the group to the headmasters' office along with founded cache with them. They showed the cache that they've found in the forest. Then they reported on what happened in the area.
Sirzechs: I see. So that's how it happened.
Ozpin: Thank you for reporting this to us, Ms. Harvey.
Claire: Also, we have something that seemed out of place along with the items.
She placed the small holoprojector on the desk. Then it automatically turned itself on and projected a hologram of none other than Yn Ln.
Yn: Greetings, everyone. We meet again after so long.
