Arriving at Atlas Academy after a successful mission, Topaz walks into his dorm room and sees Neo and Ariel both sleeping. Making as little noise as possible, Topaz walks over and gives both of them a kiss on the cheek before climbing into bed himself. After a long and tiring day, Topaz finds himself quickly falling asleep. After an unknown amount of time, Topaz is suddenly woken up by an impact to his chest. Looking to see just what caused it, Topaz sees Neo and Ariel hugging him.
Neo: "Good morning Topaz!"
Ariel: "Welcome back!"
Topaz: "I'm back girls, it's so good to see you."
Neo and Ariel: "We missed you."
Topaz: "I missed you two as well."
Neo: "How did the mission go?"
Topaz: "It went well, the tribe was taken into custody so there shouldn't be any problems."
Ariel: "That's good. Anything interesting happen?"
Topaz: "Actually yes. During the fight I was able to get some evidence that will help put a very bad man in prison for a very long time."
Ariel: "That's awesome Topaz!"
Neo: "Who is it?"
Topaz: "I can't say who it is just yet, but I'm sure you will both hear about it soon. Kind of a big deal."
Ariel: "You and your secrets."
Topaz: "Not really a secret, but whatever."
Hearing is scroll going off, Topaz rushes over and answers it.
Topaz: "General Ironwood, good to hear from you. I take it things are ready?"
Ironwood: "Yes, we will be moving out in two hours. Get over here in an hour so we can make a plan."
Topaz: "Sounds good, I will see you then."
Ironwood: "Good, Ironwood out."
The call ends so Topaz turns back to Neo and Ariel.
Neo: "Time to head out?"
Topaz: "For me, yes. I need to meet up with General Ironwood in an hour to go over a game plan about the arrest. Knowing the target, he won't go down without a fight."
Ariel: "Go get them, but be careful."
Topaz: "I'll do what I need to, no matter how dangerous."
Neo: "As usual?"
Topaz: "Yep, as usual."
Getting himself ready for the day, Topaz changes and begins making his way towards General Ironwood's office. Walking into the office he sees General Ironwood mid discussion with Winter and Weiss. The rest of team RWBY are standing off to the side talking amongst themselves. When Topaz walks in, the conversations go quiet and all eyes are on him.
Ironwood: "Topaz, good to see you again."
Topaz: "Good morning General Ironwood, good to see you again."
Ironwood: "Are you prepared for what's to come, everyone?"
Topaz: "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time if I'm telling you the truth."
Ironwood: "Very well then. Here's the plan, team RWBY you will all be on stand by for this mission, except for Weiss. Weiss, you will join Winter, Topaz and me as we enter the mansion. The evidence has already been shown to the council, and a warrant was made for his arrest. I don't think Jacques will be prepared for this, but just in case be on your guard when we are in there."
Topaz: "Right."
Winter: "Alright, let's move."
Making their way out of the office and through the halls of Atlas Academy, the group begins to enter separate vehicles. The ride is short and quiet, and eventually the group arrives at the Schnee Mansion. The large gates open and the group makes their way up to the front door. General Ironwood knocks on the door and soon a butler is there to greet them.
Butler: "Welcome, how may I help you people?"
Winter: "Where is Klein?"
Butler: "Klein was relieved of his duties a while ago. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Ironwood: "We are here with a warrant for Jacques Schnee's arrest. I ask you leave us to our business."
Butler: "Very well. Allow me to inform the master."
Ironwood: "I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to do that."
General Ironwood walks up to the butler and knocks him unconscious.
Winter: "Sir was that really necessary?"
Ironwood: "It's either that or let him know we are here."
Winter: "Let's just try stay civil towards the rest of the staff. Most of them haven't done anything wrong."
Ironwood: "I understand, let's move on."
Making their way through the bland halls of the Schnee Mansion, the group quickly arrives at Jacques office. Ironwood walks up and kicks open the door surprising the people inside.
Jacques: "Just what is the meaning of this?!"
Ironwood: "Jacques Schnee, you are under arrest."
Jacques: "Under arrest? On what grounds?"
Ironwood: "You are under arrest for hiring a tribe of bandits to cause trouble in Mantle. Along with other less than civil means."
Jacques: "You can't prove that. There is no way you found any proof."
Ironwood: "Oh, we found plenty of proof Jacques. And the council has given me full liberties for your arrest."
????: "Well Jacques, it really does appear that you have an Ironwood problem."
Ironwood: "Arthur Watts? You are supposed to be dead."
Watts: "Oh I'm alive all right."
Ironwood: "Where have you been?"
Watts: "Wouldn't you like to know. My genius wasn't good enough for you, so I decided to use it for someone who appreciated it."
Ironwood: "Didn't appreciate your genius? Arthur, your mind helped create Atlas into the powerhouse that it is today."
Watts: "Then why in the brothers' name did you chose the Penny Project over my own?"
Ironwood: "I chose the Penny Project because it gave our soldiers a chance to live their own lives. The Penny Project created a soldier that could be repaired when damaged, saving many lives in the process."
Watts: "Oh? And how did that end up for you. Penny was cut down in front of a live audience. How enjoyable that was to watch."
Ironwood: "You're with her, aren't you?"
Watts: "Very astute. If you must know, yes. She at least appreciates my desire for vengeance against you and Pietro. It's a win, win for me. I get to see the things you care for burn all while showing the world my genius."
Ironwood: "So you essentially threw away your humanity for the sake of revenge?"
Watts: "If you put it like that, then yes I did."
With that, Watts pulled out a strange looking revolver from his coat and aims it toward General Ironwood.
Watts: "Good riddance Ironwood."
*BANG*
Winter: "General Ironwood!"
Watts begins to laugh in a stereotypical villainous way which Jacques soon joins in. The two turn back towards the group after their laughter and freeze in place. Standing in front of General Ironwood is Topaz with a grin of his own.
Watts: "Impossible, this gun cuts through even the strongest of auras."
Topaz: "Well then it's a good thing I didn't use aura to stop it then."
Jacques: "You damned animal, why must you ruin everything."
Watts aims his revolver for Ironwood once again but this time General Ironwood was faster. Pulling out a gun of his own, General Ironwood fires into Watt's revolver knocking it out of his hand. Topaz dives to grab the revolver before either Watts or Jacques could. Grabbing the revolver Topaz rolls out of their reach, standing back up next to General Ironwood.
Ironwood: "Now then. Arthur Watts, Jacques Schnee. You are both under arrest."
Watts: "Over my dead body."
Topaz: "As much fun as that sounds, it won't be happening. Come quietly so you can both at least retain your dignity."
Jacques: "How dare you! Don't you know who I am?"
Topaz: "Of course I know who you are. You're the bastard that had me kidnapped and forced me into fighting for you to make money. You're also the bastard who has made the lives of not only faunus kind miserable, but also your family. The world will be a better place without you."
Jacques' face goes red with pure anger. He rushes at Topaz and throws a punch towards his face. Topaz takes a step back and Jacques soon finds himself being held by a white and light blue beowolf.
Jacques: "Winter, unhand me this instant. I am your father."
Winter: "Regrettably, but that changes today. You are no longer a member of the Schnee family as of now."
Jacques: "You can't do this!"
While everyone's focus was on Jacques and Winter, Watts tried sneaking out of the room, only to be stopped by Topaz. Reaching into his coat once more, Watts pulls out strange looking black box, and throws it at Topaz. Topaz watches the box come at him in slow motion, a threatening blue streak of electricity coats an entire side of it. Catching the box on the opposite end, Topaz gives it a curious look, while Watts freezes in panic.
Watts: "Y-You caught it."
Topaz: "Yes I did, here you can have this back."
Tossing the taser back to Watts, Topaz watches as Watts tries dodging the incoming object only to slip and fall, the taser landing on his back. Watching Watts writhe on the ground with the electricity coursing through him, Topaz takes a deep breath. Walking over to the unconscious man, Topaz cuffs Watts and watches Winter cuff Jacques.
Ironwood: "It's finally done."
Topaz: "Yes it is."
