“Ozpin I’m home!” Eve announced happily as she walked through the elevator doors. She then realized that Ozpin was meeting with an Atlesian agent. “Oh sorry I’m not interrupting am I?”
“Not at all Eve, do come join us,” Ozpin smiled at her and motioned for her to some in. “It’s good to see you’ve returned safely, I was beginning to worry when we lost contact.”
“Yeah my scroll got smashed but you know there’s never a need to worry with me!” Eve said walking up. She glanced over at the redhead she figured was sent by Ironwood. “Who's she?”
“This is Diana Seraph,” Ozpin gestured to Diana. “She was recently informed of the it is we do here. We'll get to why she's here in a moment.” Ozpin directed his attention to the man for hire, “I see you ran into Mr.Skyy on your mission.I wasn't certain if the rumors were true, it seems your reputation precedes you after all.”

“There are forces in this world that seek to destroy humanity, and I'm not talking about the Grimm.” Ozpin stood up and walked over to the window. “There is a group out there that follows a certain individual that seeks to destroy everything humanity's built. Their plans are unknown to us but that is what your team is for.” He turned back to face Diana, “We want you, Miss Seraph, to help us find out what this group is planning and to help us stop them.” He paused able to see that there was a bit of uncertainty still lingering about her. “I know this is quite a daunting task we ask of you and we've only scratched the surface, but for humanity's sake we need your help to save it.”

Eve stretched as they made it out of the forest and into Vale. Marlin had followed her but they didn't really say anything to each other the whole time. Eve was uncertain of what to do, without her team from school around she was the greatest when it came to socializing unless it was someone she knew well.
Eve sighed as they boarded the airship to take people from Vale to Beacon. She loved the view as they rose up above Vale. The sun was beginning to set and city lights were coming on one by one. “Were we really in there for that long?” Eve mused aloud as she took in the view. “Well I guess time does fly when you explore ruins.” Eve couldn't help but smile as Beacon came into view. She always felt at home at Beacon. It's one of many reasons she decided to work for Ozpin instead of freelance like most Huntsman and Huntresses. She took a deep breath of air as she stepped off the airship, "Ah! Home sweet home!"

"It's uncertain at this time," Ozpin replied with a heavy sigh. "It seems we have lost contact with them. I sent them out on a mission a couple days ago so as long as things go according to plan they should be back relatively soon." He paused to observe the woman Ironwood chose to join with them to fend off the real evils in this world. He could tell things would likely start off rather unsteady, but then again things with Eve and Yoki tend to.
"For the time being I think it might be best that we take this opportunity to inform you of what it is we really do here." Ozpin leaned forward in his chair, "Only a select few are privy to this knowledge, your new teammates included.”

“Well he did let one thing slip earlier. The White Fang is working with the group we've been tracking. I guess that man in white is a part of that group. Though something went wrong.” Eve pulled out the cube relic from her dust bag. “What worries me is whatever they want this relic for, it's not good.” Eve took a deep breath trying to shake the sour mood. “I think it's time to leave, I need to to report to Ozpin. My scroll is smashed so it's back to Beacon.” Eve called to Marlin as she walked back to the way she came in, “You coming with, Marlin?”

“None of you understand!” Eve pouted, still sad her hair was now so short in the back. “It was so long…!”
Yoki rolled his eyes. “More precisely she cut it to escape him.” Yoki clarified to Marlin and he jumped in. Yoki grew annoyed that Marlin was telling him what to do. But when the big guy landed next to him he was ready to dish out another beat down on this guy nonetheless. The large White Fang Member was recovering quickly and slashed up at Yoki with his sword. “Somebody doesn't know when to quit!” Yoki growled as he blocked it with his own. They clashed a few times but Yoki shoved him back as he stumbled a bit.
“He's mine!” Eve finished clipping her notebook to her belt and she jumped in with both halves of Tippetarius out. She she slashed across his chest, upwards as she spun around and struck with the other in the same way and his aura visibly dropped. Eve closed her fans and combined them end to end making it a staff. She spun it around and hit the guy in the gut knocking him near one of the other passageways. She turned back to the men with a slight smirk on her face, “My sweet hair has been avenged!”
“I don't get how you can be so childish sometimes,” Yoki closed his eyes and shook his head. When he looked back at her he saw the large Faunus had gotten back up and was about to strike at Eve. “Eve!” The sound of urgency in his voice prompted her to turn around quickly. She was about to intercept the strike but something else already had. She could see the thin glint of a wire around the blade. It wasn't long after when she saw another around his neck but before she could even move the big guy's head was removed from his body. She froze as she watched the head go flying and the body slump to the floor.
Yoki's eyes followed the bloody wire knowing exactly who it was but he didn't move until he caught a glimpse of that white suit in the hallway. “You bastard!” Yoki dashed after the laughing man as he vanished into the shadows.
“Yoki! Wait!” Eve called out after the shock somewhat passed but he was long gone. Her face darkened, she had a bitter taste in her mouth about what had just happened none of it sit well with her and it was all starting to hit her.

So if Marlin jumps in at all the goal is to down the Big Guy's Aura but not knock him out so he can literally loose his head.

“Well, once we clear out the Grimm and investigate the area for whatever signs that this shady group wants with the relic then we'll head back into Vale and report to Ozpin,” Eve explained as she happily scribbled away in her notebook. She paused only to scan the wall more. She'd occasionally pace, scrutinize, glance across the cavern and run for whatever she saw that looked interesting before pausing to take more notes.
“Do you really have to do this now?” You grumbled, hearing the faint sound of movement throughout the ruins. It made him anxious knowing that there was a possibility that the man in white could be one of those sounds. He wanted to finish clearing out the Grimm so he could go after him. It had him uncomfortably pacing with his sword out. “Can't it wait until we are done?”
“This is all likely very vital information about the relic!” Eve passionately raved. “It may be ancient but their secrets are here! I can feel it! I just need to unlock them!” Eve went back to reading her notes as she walked. “We could always split up if you are really that antsy.”
“No way I'm just leaving you here when there's dangers lurking about!” Yoki pouted slightly, sitting down with his sword across his lap. He also wasn't about to leave her alone with Marlin, he didn't trust him for many reasons already.
“So odd to see you willing to be patient for once,” Eve giggled. She had stopped in front of the passageway they came in through. Yoki tensed upon seeing a large figure in the passage coming up fast. “Eve! Behind you!” Yoki jumped to his feet but Eve was already on it. She slammed her notebook shut and it echoed loudly throughout the cavern. She turned and hit the big guy from before in the chin with her book before he could grab her. “Fool me once...!” Eve jumped and kicked off his chest, allowing her to put some space between them. As he stumbled back, she unclipped one of her fan-blades off her back. Eve glared at him with childish anger, “I'm not losing anymore of my precious hair because of you!”

“So you just watched as they all got killed?!” Yoki raised his voice and tried to keep himself from beating on the man. “They might not be innocent but they didn't deserve to die!”
“Yoki has a point,” Eve huffed looking rather disappointed. “At the same time though he could have just died too… He's killed two experienced Huntsman that we know of.” Eve's heart grew heavy and it showed. She couldn’t help but miss them. She’s just been avoiding thinking about it lately by diving into her work.
“Eve…” Yoki looked at her with concern before the rage started to flood back. His need to punish the one responsible only grew as he knew Eve would never feel that way.
Eve shook it off and unclipped her thick notebook from her hip and started comparing symbols when Marlin asked if she could read them. “Most places I can. These ones are older than what I've come across before. Though there were some similar runes in Forever Fall so I do have a few notes on them.”

“Say what now?” Yoki was confused and annoyed by the man's vague implication of who he was working for. Eve however picked up on it. “Ozpin sent him you dolt!” Eve smacked Yoki’s arm. “So lighten up a bit.” Yoki rolled his eyes at her, he eased his stance but was still on edge.
When the tiger started hitting on Eve, Yoki felt even more annoyed, “Why you-!” Before he could say anything Eve spoke over him completely deadpan, “Work and research mostly.” She shrugged, completely ignoring his attempts to flirt, she just treated it like an actual question. Yoki just settled for silently raging knowing she wouldn’t let him get a word in. Couldn’t stop him from making angry glares. “You know, tracking down a shady organization and exploring ruins! Things like that…" Eve started walking around the cavern looking at the carvings and paintings on the walls in fascination. Hoping to find some hints to the cube in her Dust bag. “I’m Eve by the way, and that angry fox is Yoki.”
“Did you happen to see where that creep in the hat ran off to?” Yoki tried to hold back his anger. “Any hint of where he might have gone?! Or even why he slaughtered all those Faunus?”
