Alex and Yang were currently sitting on the couch.

Alex argued that she should just leave and come back when he was ready with the plans, but the Huntress insisted on staying anyways, in spite of his newfound discomfort.

"So, this is what you do in your down-time? Boring!" Yang joked.

"Yeah, you learn to appreciate moments like this when most of your time is spent killing people and making friends with people who could potentially kill you and escaping the people trying to kill you while making sure those friends who could potentially kill you all survive. So, yeah, this is pretty much it." Alex explained.

The two sat in silence, Alex in particular was casually writing in his journal, while Yang searched the apartment for alcohol.

Alex was still finishing off the last sentence in today's entry when Yang cleared her throat.

Looking up from the page, he saw the Huntress-in-training calmly sipping a cocktail.

"You wanna talk?" She asked.

"Eh, got nothing better to do. What's on your mind?" Alex asked.

"So, when Ozpin offered training, why did you take it? From the way Evan and the others talk about you, you're already a natural fighter." Yang asked him.

At least this had an easy answer.

"A friend of mine was killed by an Inquisitor, and it was because of what little training I had that helped me beat her, as well as three of her asshole friends. If I hadn't unlocked my Aura and trained so rigorously in those seven-to-eight days, I wouldn't be here to tell you about it." He explained.

"Couldn't you have beaten her without your Aura? That dubstep gun is really powerful, and your bulletproof armor would've held out for a while, not that I'm saying I don't want you to have huntsman training." Yang reasoned.

"To be honest with you, it was the same deal with Winchester, she killed my friend and tried to kill all of us. That answer is simple, I wanted blood. I possibly would have killed her if Raven hadn't stopped me." Alex retorted.

"Okay, I get it now. You're trying to adapt to meet your enemies, go with the flow, right?" Yang asked.

"Pretty much."

"I can help with that, Raven gave me some Inheritor training, and I can have Ruby help you."

"Interesting offer. I'll take it." Alex agreed.

"Okay, I'll try to scout out some ideal places to train." Yang smiled.

The two shook on the deal, and resumed with what they were doing prior to the conversation.

"So, what's your plan, with getting the EMP?" Yang asked.

"I'm going to invite the rest of the team over and talk it out with them, Evan and his friends are actually quite smart with this sort of thing, Twilight is pretty much a bookworm, and your teammates were able to discover what these White Fang guys were doing a little while back. Kat is also really good with planning things out, and Zera is an android. We'll figure something out." Alex responded.

"You seem to have such faith in your comrades, Commander." Zera said, walking into his apartment complex.

"Well, that was fast." Yang commented.

"Of course I do, we're still here, aren't we?" Alex asked the android.

"I am not saying that your team is incompetent. It is truly an admirable trait." Zera complimented.

"Well, thank you." Alex respectfully nodded.

"You're welcome, sir."

And with that, Zera sent out the text and the rest of the team was there in a matter of minutes.

They all sat at various places in his apartment, on the couch, on the floor, some even pulled up a few chairs and sat there. Once everybody was situated, Alex pulled out a map of Los Santos, a few thumb-tacks, and Post-it notes.

"Hey, team." Alex began.

"Really, who starts out a plan with 'hey, team'?" Weiss taunted.

"I'm with Snow White over there, that was pathetic." Wildcat agreed.

"Eeyup." Applejack added.

"SNOW WHITE?!" Weiss lashed out at Wildcat.

It was then Wildcat let out one of the girliest screams in history, much to the rest of Vanoss's crew, Rainbow's, and Ruby's amusement.

"That was almost as funny as what Alex did to Yang!" Lui added.

"Don't remind me." Alex huffed.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER, YOU FIEND!?" Ruby walked up to Alex and demanded.

"It seems like you and Rainbow have similar stances on personal space, as in neither of you know what it is!" Alex retorted.

"OOOOOOOOH!!" Vanoss yelled, pulling out his cell phone and playing an MLG air horn sound effect.

"Calm down, Alex is only fifteen and your sister is seventeen, I'm sure it wasn't much." Twilight tried to be the mediator in this situation, as per usual.

"I fell off the back of Yang's motorcycle." Alex admitted. Ruby, Vanoss, Delirious, Lui, and Kat began laughing again.

"That actually isn't all. From what I picked up from Alex's cell phone mic, Yang had screamed 'sexual harassment' and then Alex fell." Zera corrected.

This time, most of the room filled with laughter, that is, except for most of the Mane 6, Alex, and Zera.

"That reminds me, wanna hear about the time Nogla shit himself?" Moo asked.

That had pretty much the same effect as last time, only Alex said something.

"Yes, divert the embarrassment! You're a hero, Nogla!" He joked.

"What about Alex's voice cracks?!" Pinkie yelled.

"Damn it!" Alex yelled.

"Yeah, his voice is like; AAAAaaaaaAaAaaaAAAA!" Basically mocked.

"What was that, Tarzan?" Vanoss laughed.

"Nah, man, more like Mini when we fought zombies on the moon!" Wildcat corrected.

"Where is this conversation going?!" Kat asked.

"Now, who would like to hear the story of Pablo?" Mini Ladd asked in a deep, Christian Bale-esque voice.

"Zera, remember how I said these guys were smart?" Alex asked.

"Affirmative." She replied.

"I take it back."

So, after a couple hours, the team had finally settled on a plan, essentially a repeat of what they did last time, only with a bit more backup.

The bad news was he was stuck on a dinghy with Vanoss, Wildcat, and Nogla.

"We ride together, eat French fries together." Vanoss said.

"We ride together, we buy ties together." Wildcat joked.

"We ride together, we die together." Nogla chimed in.

Both Vanoss and Wildcat started laughing at that statement.

"We just die! We don't do anything else together!" Vanoss laughed.

"Well, that wasn't inaccurate... Anyway, what's the plan, gang?" Alex asked them, they were the ones responsible in making sure this went according to plan.

"We sneak up, kill anyone in our way, Delirious and Lui are setting up Operation Flying Tank, and you're going to kill the bad guys we're too lazy or too noobish to kill." Nogla explained.

"And Rainbow is going to watch us and tell the others if this plan goes to shit." Wildcat added.

"And I'm sure Zera is also watchin' us with her android super powers, so we're good." Vanoss finished.

"At least you guys put something together. Let's do this." Alex smirked, they got this, besides, he had his full Scarab armor on, there was no way they were losing.

"Alpha?"

"Yes, Gamma?" Alpha asked.

"I do not mean to disturb you, but Sigma's target-" Rufio could barely finish before someone interrupted him.

"What about my target?" A young woman asked.

Sigma still had a few bandages on, and she still had a limp in her left leg.

"Greetings, my star pupil. Gamma here was just about to tell me their location.

"Ah, yes. It would appear that they are en route to the U.S.S Zancudo to steal an electromagnetic pulse device capable of bringing down an entire facility, as soon as they figure out our base of operations, we're through!" Gamma lamented.

Sigma slapped Gamma on the back of the head.

"Don't get all weepy, Rufio. I'm sure Alpha is sending me over there." She said.

"That is not the case. I am sending Beta to take your stead in this fight, if he really is the catalyst, we cannot let him survive." Alpha corrected.

"What?!" Sigma was outraged.

"You are still in no condition to fight. Besides, you already proved your worth, or lack thereof. If an average human can defeat you, then why should I even consider sending an incompetent oaf like you?!" Alpha held Sigma in a choke hold.

"Y-You're not stopping me from killing him!" Sigma gasped.

"It's treason, then." Alpha threw Sigma back on the ground. Hard.

Gamma was stunned, there was no resisting him.

"Get this weakling out of my sight!" Alpha ordered.

"Yes, sir." Gamma went and picked Sigma up from where she landed.

In response, Sigma punched Gamma hard in the jaw and ran.

"Stop her!" Alpha ordered.

Sigma summoned her bow and shot arrows at the doorway, enclosing them in.

"You fool! If you can't stop her, you're even more pathetic than she is!" Alpha scolded.

"B-But I..." Gamma held out his hands in defense.

"Beta! Another objective has been added to your mission." Alpha began.

"Yes, Alpha?" Gamma heard Beta through the comms on Alpha's headset.

"Sigma has gone rogue. She is after the boy. Stop her at all costs." Alpha ordered.

"It will be done, master." Beta respectfully said before turning of the comms.

"Gamma! Exit the room!" Alpha barked.

"Yes, master." Gamma bowed before running out the door.

Alpha then opened up a small box containing various styled chess pieces and a board, and placed them into their proper areas.

"Let the games begin, Alex Walker."
