Blake was staring between the only two human men around. They have taken a very jovyal attitude towards each other as rhey made eye contact.

Blake:...I take it you too are aquimanced.

Kumagawa:[Hm? Yeah. Roman-chan might be known as a criminal of Vale but he's been to other places also. We had fun together, most people in Atlas are just so serious all the time.]

Roman:Bunch of stuck ups.

Kumagawa:[Ah, I guess that term works too.]

Blake:You're friends with a criminal?

Kumagawa:[That's awfully judgemental. People just live according to their circumstances. I doubt you have your hands clean either.]

Blake:...Touche.

Blake jumled and run across the cargos. She snuck behind Roman and put the blade of her katana close to his neck. The criminal mastermind rolled his way unimpressed like he was in this scenario one too many times that it just became a cliche.

Blake's cat ears were revealed when she has untied her bow. She stared around the members of the White Fang with a serious gaze.

Blake:Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you abbiding these humans?

The faunas looked at ome another without really giving her an answer. Roman scoffed at her display of giving a speech.

Roman:Yeah, don't know if you noticed kid. Me and the boys here are kinda in a alliance. You know, you scratch my back, I scratch yours and we all get to live?

Blake:I suggest you don't get too smart with me. You're at the mercy of my blade.

Roman:Heh, try that with fire. Beside...

Roman tapped with his foot the cane that fell from his hand at his feet when she has taken him hostage. A explosion was generated at the end of the cane at Blake was thrown back by it.

Roman:You should really be aware much more of your surroundings. Get her!

Four White Fang members chased ger with guns and swords in their hand as she ran to find a idea position. As Roman was walking after them a banana shell fell on his head. The ginger slapped the shell off, but his face was met with Sun's feet after.

Roman:Great, another one.

Sun:Leave her alone!

A White Fang member was sitting up on a cargo with his assault riffle aiming for Blake. However, unknown to him Kumagawa was already behind him.

The minus gripped the back of the faunus's uniform and threw him down. The terrorist smashed in his four companions who were chasing Blake, knocking out all five of the White Fang members. Soon after Kumagawa jumped down beside her and advanced towards the other opponents.

One White Fang member tried to grapple him from the right and another tried to stab him from the left. Kumagawa gripped the armed faunus's arms and forced it forward piercing his comarade's brain. As he did that Kumagawa's elbow strongly hit the man who's arm he had in a grip's neck. A loud cracking sound was made as the elbow made contact as he ended both of their lives efficently.

Roman but back a strike from Sun's staff with his cane, sending the monkey boy back. He turned around and blocked a slash from one of Blake's bladed guns. Than he turned around again and shit a explosion from hus cane at another Blake destroying the clone.

Roman gripped his cane with two hands and stopped a strike from Sun's staff once again. He used his strenght to push the boy back into Blake and then jumped back to make more distance.

He shot several explosions at the two in hopes of destroying their Auras. However, Sun rotated his staff in front of him, effectively stopping the works of fire from hitting them.

Roman turned his head around at the sound of steel hitting steel and saw Ruby with her scythe out on a cargo. Penny was also there behind the young Rose.

Ruby:Hey!

Roman:Ah, Red! Glad you could join us.

Penny:Ruby...Are those your friends?

Ruby:Penny, stay back!

Penny:Don't worry, Ruby. I'm combat ready!

A compattiment opened on Penny's back and several flying swords came out. They split off in different directions overwhelming White Fang members with many slashes.

The terrorists quickly changed their strategy and charged together. Unfortunately, this seems to have been the wrong choice as the joined up again and rotated while flying forward, taking the faunas down all at once in the manner of a spinning wheel.

Penny jumped down and a bullhead began shooting at her from the air with a White Fang member at command. However, the projectiles were deflected by the wheel like moving swords that came in front of her to defend her.

She jumped back a little and two more swords came from her back. All the swords rotated in front of her, this time with the tips pointed forward, creating some sort of green energy. The energy made multiple blasts, cutting the bullhead in several pieces with their heat.

Penny looked on at three bullheads that had cargos with them taking off into the sky. She was planning to use her swords together with very tough steel string, but before she could three oversized screws the seize of buildings impaled the three bullheads.

The airships exploded and Penny could see Kumagawa looking up at them with a smug smile. Penny was reminded of the words of a Atlas Huntress in training that was really short in that very moment and took a thinking pose.

Penny:No one screws up like him...Oh, now I get it! It's funny!

As Roman looked around for a look of escape he felt a arm around him and was taken off in the air. He now realized that Kumagawa grabbed him and jumped to the only remaining cargo. He pushed Roman in and waved his hand at tge departing airship.

Kumagawa:[Bye!]

Roman looked down at the ground as he excaped. He chuckled a bit while rolling his eyes.

Roman:Sometimes is really hard to say who's side the kid is actually on.

Later that night Kumagawa returned to his dorm where every member of his team looked at him with a nod of acknowgled. He moved to a table and began to moved some chess pieces on a chess board on the table.

Kumagawa:[So, tonight I've meet with Roman-chan.]

Takachiho:That so? He was robbing a bank or something?

Kumagawa:[No, he was stealing lots of Dust.]

Itami:So he was the one behind those robberies. I can't really see it.

Takachiho:Yeah, he's tge type that just wants as much money as he needs for him and his lackeys. He has no interes in starting a war or something like that for so much Dust. Which means...

Kujira:Someone is most likely forcing him to do it.

Kumagawa:[Yes, Salem-chan must have a plan with all of that. Although she is improbable to ever meet him and is just the works of one of her minions.]

Kujira:So? Are you gonna join their chess game?

Kumagawa:[Ah, they really played it out. I have no intention of stopping their game. Rather...]

Kumagawa's foot moved up and was brought diwn the table. The piece of furniture together together with the biard was smashed to pieces.

Kumagawa:[Is much more fun to just destroy it all at the very climax!]
