''You don't mind if I write a neater and tidier epilogue, don't you? -GL''

Vert, Sable, and Pieter were furious over how they lost their targets.

Pieter was frustrated that Vale's unexpected arrival complicated the plan he set up and helped to put Sable into more danger. It reminded him of the friends he lost in the cruel battlegrounds, back in the wars of yesterday.

Sable was pissed because instead of giving out the beatdown he always wanted, he instead got himself severely injured. And now he had to get replacement glasses.

Vert wanted to catch Selena and Vale to vindicate his existence. But he was thwarted, and they got away.

"Promise me one thing, guys," Vert spoke.

"What?"

"That we will continue to hunt down these bastards, even if it takes us a lifetime."

After a while, the three paused. And then they agreed.

"You know what, Petie?"

"What?"

"We should unwind with a nice sparring match. Whaddya say?"

"I suppose it could work."

The two then decided to participate in a sparring match at the earliest opportunity.

Meanwhile, Vert nursed his thoughts, no, his plans for his justice.

''I swear, Selena ... Vale ... I don't care where you are, or who you belong to. I will hunt you down and bring you to justice.''

His opportunity would come several weeks later, as he prepared for what lay ahead... -- "You may come in."

The Lieutenant shuffled over, holding a cup of coffee, a tired look on his face as he headed to Professor Ozpin's desk.

"Professor Ozpin, we need to talk."

"I suppose I can lend some assistance to your urgent situation, Lieutenant."

"Recently, after the target, Selena Schiess, murdered several of our officers, we dispatched several students to stop her. Unfortunately, she had the assistance of several rank-and-file members belonging to the White Truth, along with one of its lieutenants, a Ms. Vale Vettel."

Ozpin took a sip from his mug as the lieutenant continued.

"The targets then escaped, and are still at large. Since my officers and your students couldn't do it, I was wondering if you can try and recall some of the active-duty Huntsmen to investigate."

The lieutenant had desperately hoped that he can get Ozpin to have the Huntsmen stop Selena and the White Truth. And he especially wanted the Huntsmen after their relatively prolonged absence ever since the Grimm breach not too long ago.

On these sentiments, Ozpin agreed. Teams CFVY, RWBY and JNPR, along with Port, Oobleck, Ironwood and Goodwitch, had done an impressive job taking care of the breach. But with Huntsmen, there would be less casualties, and the problems plaguing Vale and Beacon could be solved much more efficiently, and effectively.

"I will see what I can provide for you, Lieutenant."

"If you don't mind, I am also planning to send a Most Wanted-"

Ozpin, however, still wished to prevent mass panic in Vale. And while he hated to admit it, as much as he wanted to help, stopping the ongoing conspiracy with Torchwick's associates was his top priority.

"However, I cannot allow that. Disturbing the tranquility of Vale and its citizens is not in our best interests. Now, I will do whatever I can to assist you, but with all due respect, you must understand that there are certain limits to that. I do wish you a peaceful night, Lieutenant."

"Take care, Ozpin. You'll need every bit of rest that you'll get."

As the Lieutenant walked back into the elevator, he was very troubled.

''Ozpin, always being cryptical and mysterious. I doubt they will help you in the long run. Besides, where are those Huntsmen when you need them?''

Ozpin then sighed as he resumed looking into his Scroll. The opposing conspiracy and now the White Truth incidents were just two out of a very long and growing list of problems he had to deal with. Including dealing with the possible termination of his career as Beacon Academy Headmaster and the distrust between him and Ironwood, now head of security of the Vytal Festival's Amity Colosseum.

It was going to be a long night indeed...
