30 Chapter 30 : The Black Reaper Entrance (1/2)
The next day, Mesa was with his team when he received a call from Ruby.
” Hello Ruby ” Mesa greeted Ruby
” Hi Mesa, did you happen to see Blake? ” A worried Ruby asked Mesa
” I saw her last time when I was with you, why?” Mesa replied
” She didn't come back yesterday. We are so worried for her” Ruby told him
” I see, don't worry Ruby, she is definitely okay. She is probably trying to sort her thoughts ” Mesa comforted Ruby
” I hope so. We will look for her anyway” Ruby said
” We can help you if you need ” Mesa offered his team's help
” That would be great, Mesa” Ruby replied with smile
” Okay, meet us in front of the dorms in 10 minutes” With that Mesa closed the call and then turned his head toward his team and said ” Guys, we got a black cat to find, got any problem? ”
” It is not nice to call her black cat, and are you seriously asking our opinions now? She is our friend of course we are going to look for her ” Pyrrha spoke while the other two nodded.

After few minutes, team MNPR met with three girls from team RWBY. Mesa started with asking ” Do you know where to start looking or a plan? ”
” No, we thought of walking around and ask about Blake ” Ruby said sheepishly
Mesa sighed and said ” I thought so, we will separate in 4 teams. Each team will search in different direction. The teams are Ren and Nora, Pyrrha and Yang, Weiss and Ruby, and I will go alone. Any objection? ” Mesa spoke
All of them shook their heads. And so, the search for Blake started. All of them started searching except for Mesa. He went toward his secret apartment and started preparing for tonight party.

Amidst the chirping of crickets and darkness of night, Blake was laying flat on her stomach on the rooftop overlooking the shipment of Schnee Dust containers.
”Did I miss anything?” A voice heard near Blake
Blake looked at the source of the sound to see the blond faunus standing next to her, she said ”Not really. They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there.”
”Cool. I stole you some food!” The blond faunus said as he showed the green apples in his arms
Blake gave him a questioning look and asked ”Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?”
”Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?” he defensively countered which earned him an angry glare from Blake
Just as Blake glared at him, the winds blew all around them. They looked up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, as it was descending in the middle of the cargo containers and extending a ramp for a black hooded individuals with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.
”Oh no...” Blake said sadly
”Is that them?” the blond asked
While Blake was starting at the bloody wolf on the back of the men's outfits, she said ” Yes ….. It's them”
”All right, grab the tow cables!” one of the white fang men said to the rest
”You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?” The blonde said
While Blake was staring sadly at the scene, she said ”No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right.” she closed her eyes in despair, only to open them suddenly when she heard a new voice.
”Hey! What's the holdup!?” the voice said which made the soldiers look up at a human gesturing widely and coming down the ramp ”We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?” The voice belong to Roman Torchwick.
”This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that.” Blake said as she stood up and unsheathed her weapons, she then walked off the edge of the roof
