They made a bad decision. Of course at time, Team CRDL had no idea it was a horrible idea. However, as they sat in the hospital, recovering from some serious injuries, Cardin realized they had made a terrible mistake. They had just wanted revenge for looking likes fools in front of a crowd. But they had messed with the wrong person. Or the wrong people, for that matter. He decided that going for revenge again would not be a good idea. Oh well, at least they didn't have to go to school for a while. However he would be stuck in the same position with the thought of what happened stuck in his head.

It had all started about a week ago, when Team CRDL was waiting around in their dorm. They had nothing to do at the moment. They had no one to bother, as the only other team off right now anywhere near them was Team JNPR, and they were done messing with Jaune. Then something had occurred to their leader, Cardin Winchester.

He had been sitting there, but when he moved he felt a sharp pain in his side. The pain was from landing, hard, on his ribs when that stupid blonde punched him across the courtyard. That thought made him very angry, and made him want to seek revenge. There was no way that blonde could get away with embarrassing his team like that. He looked to Russel, who understood, as he had trouble pissing for the week after that.

The two shared their feelings with Sky and Dove, who both agreed, having been punched and kicked by her as well. They started to come up with a plan.

Cardin started. "So, we can't just attack her out of nowhere. If we did, we would get in trouble pretty easily. I don't think there is any way we could bully her, because she would probably attack anyone of us that did. So we need to play mind games. Is she close with anyone in the school?"

Russel replied. "Well, her sister is their team leader."

Cardin smiled. "Good, so we kidnap her sister, and either blackmail her or force her to embarrass herself or something. I don't care what, as long as she suffers."

Dove looked nervous. "That's fine and all, but we could get in some serious heat for kidnapping. What if she just tells someone anyways?"

Cardin waved him off. "Then we fake threaten to do something bad to her sister. She wouldn't do anything if her sister is in trouble. Besides what could one girl do to the four of us prepared if she came?"

Sky laughed, and the men plotted more into how they were going to do this. However, as they were not generally close to Team RWBY, they didn't know that doing anything to hurt Ruby would be invoking the wrath of not just one angry female, but two, for this would infuriate Weiss. And if Yang was mad, Blake would be there to help. They were in for a lot more trouble than they thought. Of course they were too stupid to figure that out anyways. How could kidnapping a person ever solve anything?

They decided that if they were to try and capture Ruby, it would obviously have to be when she was alone, and hopefully weak or it was dark or something. They decided to put their plan off for a few days to observe Ruby, and see how her schedule worked. They followed her team often to see what they did. Of course Team RWBY took notice of this, but they thought nothing of it, just the boys being stupid in more places than usual.

After about a week of gathering intel, they noticed one key piece of information. Often at night, usually after midnight, Ruby would sleepily walk down to the who knows where to get some cookies from a secret stash. She would walk down, and walk back up sleepily with crumbs all over her face. Somehow her teammates had not noticed. Cardin decided this would be the perfect time to do this. As to how they would execute their plan, Cardin wasn't sure. He didn't want to make this messy.

However lucky enough, Sky had somehow gotten his hands on some knockout gas and gas masks. Cardin had no idea where he could have gotten those from, but he didn't ask questions if it was going to work. He decided to have one person be the lookout every night and if they saw Ruby going for the cookies, they would move in and take her.

That night came several days later, while Dove was on lookout duty. He saw Ruby exit Team RWBY's room, and he alerted the rest of his team. They all quickly woke and Sky got the gas and masks. They moved to the hallway where her room was and they waited. As she walked down the hallway, Sky rolled the containers towards her, and they started releasing the gas. Ruby noticed this and mumbled. "What…?" She then preceded to fall over. They went in, put her into a burlap sack, and began to move her to the secure location they had planned.

Next morning, Weiss woke up to a warm ray of sun streaming through the windows by her bed. She yawned and sat up, ready for a day of relaxing, as they had nothing to do. She was planning, however, to take Ruby into town for a little adventure. She stood up to greet her favorite red themed girl, but noticed her bed was empty. That seemed odd to Weiss, but it wasn't completely weird. Ruby had fallen asleep in some weird places before. The library, leaning against a tree outside, in the kitchen surrounded by chocolate chip cookies.

Weiss noticed her two teammates were already awake. They were sitting on Blake's bunk, reading a story together while cuddling. Weiss thought that was cute, but she decided to leave them alone. She quickly got changed and started to leave to go find Ruby. Before she walked out though, she thought to ask them if they had seen Ruby.

"Yang, Blake, have either of you seen Ruby this morning?"

Yang looked up at her, and then glanced away in thought. "Hmm… Can't say that I have, she wasn't even in her bed when we woke up." Weiss frowned. If Ruby was the first one up, something was definitely up. She decided to go to the places Ruby would most likely be.

However, Weiss's search was in vain, and so she began to worry. Ruby wasn't cramming an early study session in at the library. She wasn't training on dummies, or just training in the gym. Team JNPR hadn't seen her (She even had Jaune send her a message on his scroll, but got no response), nor was she even anywhere near the cafeteria. That was really strange to Weiss. She decided to convey her worries to Yang.

When she got back to their dorm, Yang and Blake were still there. They were in the middle of sharing what seemed to be a deep kiss when Weiss stormed in, a nasty look on her face. She saw them, but she didn't even act embarrassed and they didn't seem to care. She sat down heavily on her bunk, which did catch Yang's attention. She turned to Weiss.

"Something wrong Princess?" Mockery was not doing well with Weiss's mood. She was nervous and angry at the same time.

"Well, if you must know, there seems to be an absence of a certain girl with an affinity for red. And so when I went searching for said girl, I couldn't find her anywhere, and no one seems to know where she is."

Yang frowned. "Did you check the kitchen?"

Weiss stomped her foot. "Of course I checked the kitchen! I checked everywhere! She was no where, at least on campus!"

Yang began to be worried. She started pacing the room, mumbling to herself. This worried Blake, as she was getting better after almost

losing her favorite Faunus, but now her sister was missing. This would not be good. Yang finally stopped walking. "Alright, Blake and I will help search. You just wait here and uhh… do something else."

Weiss slapped her forehead. "No, I'm going to continue searching, on my own though." She quickly left the room, not wanting to be near Yang anymore.

Yang turned to Blake. "C'mon, let's go. Maybe Ruby was hiding from Weiss to play a game. If so, I can find her easily." She walked out of the room.

Blake started following her. She could tell Yang didn't really believe what she had just said. Yang had just said it to make herself feel better. Blake was starting to get a lot more worried. She was a little worried about Ruby being missing, but she was more worried about how Yang was taking it. She had noticed a change in Yang ever since that fight in the forest.

Yang had released a lot of anger and sadness during that fight, and when she had found out that Blake was ok, Yang was overjoyed. Blake had seen a change in Yang after that. When they had gotten together, bad things started happening to Yang. She had the incident with her aura, talking about her role protecting Ruby, and then almost losing Blake. However, since then things were looking good. This would bring up old pains for her.

Yang was still walking, heading towards the courtyard, with Blake trailing slightly further behind her. She looked around, a look of worry on her face. Blake was still walking towards her, but she noticed something weird. Team CRDL was approaching Yang, and it looked like they were going to get there before Blake, so she diverted her course so she could be behind them and listen in.

Yang noticed them too, and she raised an eyebrow at Cardin.

He smiled back and said. "Looking for something?"

Yang frowned. "I might be. What's it to you?"

He laughed. "Oh nothing, just that I might know the location of what you're looking for."

She gasped. "You know where Ruby is?"

Cardin's grin stretched even further. "Of course I do, I'm the reason she is where she is right now. She won't be returning for a while."

Blake stopped herself from gasping. Yang sat there with a shocked look, that quickly changed to an angry one. "If you do anything to her, so help me God…"

Cardin interrupted her. "Uh uh uh… That's not such a smart idea, threatening one of the only people who knows where the girl is."

Yang clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "What. Do. You. Want."

Cardin pretended to look disinterested. "I'm not sure yet. You embarrassed us pretty bad that time. There will be revenge, all in due time. We'll just have to figure it out. Until then, stay in touch. Then maybe we'll tell you where she is."

Yang's anger was triggering a little bit of a temperature rise. "What if I don't want to cooperate, and go straight to Ozpin?"

Cardin waved his hand. "Well then, something bad happens to the girl, and no one would ever know."

Suddenly Blake appeared behind them in Yang's view. Yang didn't directly look at her, not wanting to bring attention to the Faunus. Blake started making hand motions to ask Yang if she wanted her to follow Team CRDL. Yang pretended to stretch, and while she did she put a thumbs up signal in the air. Blake disappeared into the shadows. Yang had to smile. She was glad she was dating a girl who was a master of stealth.

Yang turned back to the idiots surrounding her. "Alright, but first I need evidence. Go take a picture of her right now and bring it to me tomorrow. Then we'll talk."

Cardin smiled. "I'm glad you could see it our way. We'll be in touch." He snapped his fingers and then he and his team walked away from the school, as if to go into the city. Yang caught a glimpse of a shadow following them, knowing Blake was in pursuit.

Once they were out of sight, Yang immediately spun on her heels and went to go find Weiss. The icy princess would not be happy to hear this.

"He did what!?" Weiss was full of confusion and anger. No, it wasn't anger. Weiss was furious! After Yang had told her story, Weiss's jaw had dropped. She had saw there on her bed for a few seconds before responding. How could those brutes do such a thing? They could be arrested if Weiss wanted.

Yang tried to reason with her. "Look Weiss, I'm pissed too. This is my little sister. It's my responsibility to take care of her." Yang stared out the window for a second, and Weiss remembering the conversation she had heard calmed down a little, realizing this must be just as hard on Yang as it was on her. The blonde was keeping her feelings inside for Weiss's sake, and she had to respect that. Yang continued.

"But Blake is on the case. She is following them, most likely to the city. When she finds out where they are keeping Ruby, we're going in guns blazing and we're gunna get her out. Hopefully we beat them up pretty well also, make them never mess with Team RWBY again. So why don't we go to the city and see if we can find Blake so she doesn't have to come all the way back here after?"

Weiss sighed and looked at her teammate. She could see all the sadness and grief in Yang and realized it would help the girl if she just cooperated with her. "Fine, let's get going then. How will Blake know where to find us?" Yang smiled.

"Easily." She pulled out a perfume bottle and sprayed it all over her and Weiss, causing Weiss to cough. "What was that for you brute!"

Yang laughed at Weiss's reaction. "Blake knows that smell, we use it in battle sometimes so she can find me. She'll be able to find us wherever we are."

Weiss was surprised. That was actually a really good strategy. Developed by Blake, no doubt, but it still was really smart.

Yang started to walk out of their dorm. "You coming?" Weiss nodded, composing herself before walking out of the room after her. They were going to find Ruby, and then they were going to bring the pain to Team CRDL. They had messed with the wrong group of girls.

Blake was jumping from building to building, ducking through alleys, and hugging the shadows. She was a master of stealth, and Team CRDL wasn't hard to track. They had made their way to the city and were currently parading through the warehouse district. An easy spot to hide someone. Villains always do it in movies. Blake kept following them to find out which warehouse. She would then go find Yang and no doubt Weiss, both of them would be irate. She would then bring them to wherever Ruby is.

Blake knew that Yang would come to the city to make it easier to find her. She would probably even use the tactic that Blake made with the special perfume they had. Yang was pretty smart when it came to battle strategy.

However, this wasn't the time to think how impressive her girlfriend was. Cardin had just lead his team into a certain warehouse. The warehouse number was weird though, because it was on a weird spinning machine, that started at 160, but then the number kept going down. It would also beep loudly every time it hit 0, and then it would restart. That was really odd to Blake, but it would be easy to find.

She couldn't guarantee that this is where they were hiding Ruby so she went a little closer to listen in.

"Listen up red, your sister knows we have you, now we just have to make a deal with her then you'll be outta here."

A weak mmph was the only reply. She heard Cardin chuckle. "Of course, so we just need a picture of you and we'll be good. So hold still."

Blake could smell Ruby and knew she was in there, so she immediately turned and sprinted towards the city. She headed towards the docks, which were close and where they would probably be dropped off. Sure enough Blake caught the scent of that perfume. She ran down a couple of alleys and spotted the white and yellow girls leaning on a wall.

Yang saw her approaching but made no attempt to move. She simply asked. "Find her?" Blake nodded.

Yang pushed off the wall, and said to Weiss. "Guess it's time for a rescue mission."

Team CRDL was just sitting around the warehouse and laughing and joking. They hadn't thought anything bad would happen. However out of no where the doors to the building were busted off with so much force they went flying to the other side of the room. The whole team dove to avoid the doors, and when they got up, they saw three figures emerge from the smoke. The three figures were the rest of Team RWBY.

Yang's gauntlets were still smoking, obviously she was the reason the doors were in their current state. She stormed in, a confident smile on her face, ready for a smackdown. Weiss on the other hand, had a look of pure rage on her face, also ready for a smackdown.

And Blake was just there, ready to provide support and make sure no one was killed.

Cardin was stunned. "How did you…?"

Yang laughed. "Because I have the best, most stealthy partner ever, who happened to overhear our little chat earlier." Everyone looked at Blake who smiled at the compliment. Yang confidently continued. "Oh, and Cardin? I've considered your offer, and after much thought, I decided I don't want to buy into your blackmail, and I would take matters into my own hands. So here I… no we are." She smiled at Weiss. "Oh, by the way, you managed to piss off two girls instead of one."

Cardin realized there was a fight incoming, so he drew his mace. Before his teammates could do the same with their weapons, Yang and Weiss had shot Dove and Sky in the face with their weapons, sending them flying back but not killing them, as they had their aura up. Blake threw Gambol Shroud, hard, smacking Russel in the face and knocking him out. Cardin had been expecting a huge fight, but his three teammates had already been incapacitated.

He growled in frustration, and charge towards the girls. He tried to swing at Weiss, but she just put up a glyph to protect her. As Cardin back away from her, Yang once again punched him in the face, knocking him across the room. She then ran up to him and began delivering punch after punch to his abdomen. Yang thought she felt several cracked ribs, so she eased up and stalked back to her friends. Cardin was in major pain, and he saw a way out, so he ran out the back exit, leaving his teammates behind as they had done to him in the Forest of Forever Fall.

Weiss sprinted into the back room and saw Ruby, tied up and exhausted sitting in a chair. When she saw Weiss, she snapped to attention, but before she could say anything, Weiss had tackled her into a hug that knocked the chair over. Yang and Blake jogged in after her, but after seeing the emotional scene before them, they left to deal with the other idiots.

Weiss was sobbing and Ruby was trying to get words out. Realizing Ruby was still tied up, she put the chair upright and used Myrtenaster to cut through the ropes. When Ruby stood up, she tackled her again, but instead of a hug, Weiss brought Ruby into a deep kiss. Ruby was wide eyed at first, but she was too tired to argue, so she close her eyes and accepted this. In the other room, Blake could detect their auras spiking and she could tell how close they were together. She smiled and made some motions towards Yang who began to laugh.

When Weiss pulled back for air, she took a second to actually look at Ruby. She was pretty bruised on her face. She also was hunched over from being tied to a chair for so long. She had deep bags under her eyes. She must have been awake all day.

Weiss finally asked. "Ruby, are you alright?" Ruby smiled. "Fine, now that you're here. That was a nice kiss by the way." Weiss blushed.

"I'm sorry, I was just so worried about you, and then when Yang told me what had happened, I was really scared. I thought they had really hurt you badly."

Ruby rubbed her face lightly, feeling the bruises. "Nothing too bad. Just the kind of injuries time could fix. Cardin didn't look so good though." Weiss laughed. "Yang put a couple of good punches into him." She heard some not so manly screams of pain from the other room. "Sounds like she is doing the same to the others." They heard Yang yell from the other room. "And you tell your leader if you ever mess with RWBY again, we beat you up, and then tell Ozpin how you kidnapped a student, and your butts will be outta here!"

Ruby looked at Weiss curiously. "How did you find where I was?" Weiss patted her on the back. "You can thank Blake for that, but it was a pretty long story. Come one, I'll tell you what happened today while we head home."

She wrapped her arm around Ruby's waist, and she lead her partner towards the entrance, where Blake and Yang were waiting. Ready to take them home.

All of Team RWBY was sitting in their room, staring at one point in particular, almost as if something was there. To them it seemed like it was. They even spoke to address this thing.

Weiss spoke first. "If you are reading this, you have fallen into our trap. This was a trick to make you believe this was part of the story but it's really the Author's note. Hah ha!"

Ruby started shaking her head and hands. "Don't leave though. The author's note is important! This was just a way to make sure you read it. Right Blake?"

The dark haired girl nodded. "Of course it's important, that's why it's there. And so now to deliver this important news is everyone's favorite character Yang!" They all turned to Yang, who had fallen asleep in her chair listening to this boring note. She was snoring softly and occasionally twitching. Blake smacked her forehead.

"Of course, then I'll be delivering the news. The author would just like to say sorry for not posting a chapter in the past two days, but he is American so he was celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, and he worked on it today. He wanted to try to shift away from the only Yang/ Blake story format he has been following, so he included more Ruby/Weiss in this. Even some CRDL screen time. He thanks you for your support and hopes you enjoyed that chapter!" Blake smiled and the rest of the girls except Yang waved goodbye.
