A couple of days passed, and Revy healed and started attending classes again. And now Team Y/NKRD was sitting in the cafeteria.

Kuki: So Revy, how is your shoulder?

Revy: Stop fucking talking about that! My aura healed that already, I don't have even a scar, happy?

Kuki: Yes.

Dante: Do you have any plans? Because we have a break but classes start back up tomorrow again, soo...

Y/N wasn't listening at all because he was watching his hand and thinking about what he did in the docks.

Kuki: Hey! Leader! Anyone home?!

Y/N: What?

Dante: Do you have any plans for today?

Y/N: No actually.

Dante: Then we should do something together.

Y/N: I have an idea, let's ask-

Revy: "Team RWBY" Yes! We know! You can't get any ideas so you want to hang out with them.

Then they heard one of Yang's bad puns.

Yang: I always kick my semester off with a Yang!

Revy: Boo, get off the stage!

Y/N: Anyway what do you say?

Kuki: I guess we don't have any other ideas so why not-

Then they saw Waiss getting hit in the face with a pie.

Y/N: Oh no, I know where this is going.

Dante: So are we joining or running?

Kuki: I'm not letting these clothes get dirty.

Kuki stood up and started running away.

Y/N: Kuki is right, the wise one retreats.

Then the whole team left just in time because just when they closed the door hell broke loose.

Y/N: Let's hang out with them later.

Meanwhile, in the unknown warehouse, Mercury and Emerald come in after finishing a small job. And they come to Roman and Taskmaster who were discussing the next moves.

Roman: Oh look, she sent the kids again.

He ruffles their hair and Taskmaster just did one circle around them.

Roman: This is turning out just like the divorce.

Taskmaster: Thank goodness, we don't need to pay child support.

Emerald: Spare us the thought of you procreating.

Roman: That was a joke.

Then Taskmaster pulled out a paper that he stole from Emerald when he was walking around her.

Taskmaster: How was your day kids?

Emerald: What?

Emerald checked her pockets and indeed it was her paper with the address.

Taskmaster: We are professionals, Green. Pay attention and maybe you'll learn something new.

Roman: Why do you have this address?

Emerald: Wouldn't you like to know?

Roman: Yeah, I would. Now, where have you been all day?

Mercury: Cleaning up your problems. One of them at least.

Roman: I had that under control.

Mercury: Two packed begs and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise.

Roman: Tell me what's the time?

Mercury: 15:15 Why?

Roman: Taskmaster.

Taskmaster: The target would get on the boat at 15:30 on the cruise to Vacuo, and I "asked" one person that he will at 16:00 to do an accident which will lead to our target drowning in the ocean. And I fucking paid that guy in advance.

Roman: Rookie mistake my cold-blooded friend. Never pay for things in advance.

Then Cinder comes in.

Cinder: Impressive thinking but it's better if you take care of things yourself.

Taskmaster: (under his breath) You are one to talk, bossing everyone around.

Emerald: Cinder!

Cinder: I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would-be runaway.

Taskmaster: Everything was alredy plan out.

Then Cinder turned to Mercury and Emerald.

Cinder: Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?

Emerald: I just thought-

Cinder: Don't think. Obey.

Emerald: Yes ma'am. It won't happen again.

Mercury: Oh and what about Arlecchino? She did the same as us.

Cinder: Oh really? Where is she then?

Mercury: We went for the one runaway but she went for a group of runaways. But we don't know where is she now.

Arlecchino: I'm right here.

Arlecchino comes in and was covered in blood.

Cinder: Arlecchino, you know what I told you about this.

Arlecchino: Don't worry, no witnesses, after all: Dead men tell no tale.

Roman: Hold on, who are you? This is the second time I ever saw you.

Arlecchino: I'm Arlecchino Falcon. That's all you need to know.

Cinder: Alright and now you two.

She turned to Taskmaster and Roman.

Cinder: Why wasn't this job done sooner?

Roman then started pointing at all the dust containers.

Roman: Sorry if I've been a little busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom!

Mercury: You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask.

Roman: Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared. Police camping out at every corner. Dust prices are through the roof. And we're sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with. Speaking of which. If you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand-master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother.

Cinder: Oh, Roman. Have a little faith.

Taskmaster: I can only tell you that we will need all the dust and we will use it at once, not for money.

Cinder then come to Taskmaster and cupped his chin with her hand.

Cinder: Take this information as a bonus. But you'll know what you need when you need to know it.

The Cinder squeezed Taskmaster's chin, her eyes started to shine and he started to groan in pain because she was burning him slightly, with her power. Then she released him.

Cinder: But I don't like giving bonuses. Besides. We're done with Dust.

Roman: Okay. Then what now?

Cinder: We're moving.  Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you the details and coordinates tonight.

Roman: Coordinates?

Cinder: We're officially proceeding to phase two.

Then Mercury, Emerald, Arlecchino, and Cinder left. Roman looked at Taskmaster whose mask was slightly burned.

Roman: I starting to think I know why you don't like smoking.

Taskmaster: She owes me another mask.
