Ruby's Surveyor

Ch. 24: No Rest for the Wicked

"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."

"Quiet, you!"

The four would eventually make their way to the Vale docks where foghorns could be clearly heard. "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?"
When Yang was complaining Ruby had to agree as she plugged her nose. "They smell like fish."

"I heard students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today and as a representative of Beacon, I feel though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom."

"She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake revealed.

"Ugh! You can't prove that!"

Ruby noticed something that caught her attention and she called to her friends.
"Hey guys..." looking over the four see a Dust Store robbed and broken into.

The team decided to investigate.
"What happened here?"

"Robbery. Second dust ship to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." The Investigator said.

"Ah, That's terrible."

"They left all the money again." Ruby overheard the Investigator talk with his partner. "Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?"

"I dunno. An army?"
"You thinking the uh, White Fang?"
"Yeah Uh, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough."

"Hmph, The White Fang. What an awful bunch of degenerates." Weiss says crossing her arms.

"What's you're problem?" Blake suddenly asks.

"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane."
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus."
"Misguided?! They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet!"

"Oh here we go..." Ruby tiredly says.

"So then they're very misguided!"

"Guys! Stop! Either way it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale." Ruby tried to reason.

"Ruby does have a point." Yang said supporting Ruby.

"That's not to mention the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months ago. Maybe it was him?"

"That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum. Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

"Hey! Stop that Faunus!" They hear a voice yell out, looking over and rushing to the docks the team see a blond haired Money Faunus jump from the ship and onto the boardwalk.
"Thanks for the ride, guys!" He says as he runs away.

"You know good stowaway!" The ship workers yell. "Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!" The Monkey Faunus laughs as he hangs onto a lamppost opening and eating a banana.

The Faunus dodges a rock throw at him, "Hey!" The investigator from before says with his partner next to him. "Get down from there this instant!" He threatened, before getting a face full of banana peel.

The Faunus laughs as he growls, now more angry at such an action. Jumping off of the lamp post he quickly runs away again eventually passing Team RWBY.

The Faunus ignored all but Blake, as he blinks at her when he passes. "Well Weiss, you wanted to see the competition. And there it goes."
"Quick! We have to observe him!" The three give chase, joining the investigators.
