Three figures stood nervously. They had burn marks all over their clothes, faces set in a guilty expression. The middle figure had it worse than other the two, with burns and bruises littered across her body. She kneeled in front of a throne in the expansive hall of the white fang base.

"How did you three idiots manage to blow up the compound? All you needed to do was to complete a simple mission" Sienna Khan asked the irritation prevalent in her voice.

The three figures squirmed slightly under the gaze of their highly pissed of leader.

"Well…" Maru started

"Maru's an idiot" Nyx's quick response, who was to the left of Maru, caused the fox faunus to turn towards him aghast.

"You traitor! I thought we were all gonna take the fall together." Maru said with a betrayed look on her face.

A voice from the right this time made Maru go as white as her hair. "Maru thought that it was a good idea to press the self destruct button, that it had for some reason. The only reason any of us are alive right now is because two of us can teleport". Chimed in Virdis from the right of her.

All eyes in the hall turned towards the middle of the three, who in turn, looked up and laughed nervously. Her laugh slowly dying down once she realized no one else was saying anything.

"Well how was I supposed to know that it would blow up." Maru said defensively.

"With it being a big red button that had a hard glass case and a sign above it saying 'do not press', you really just shouldn't have pressed it" Virdis stated matter of factly.

Maru started glaring daggers at Virdis. "is this payback for cutting off your arm earlier?".

Sienna sighed and slapped a hand to her face at the three squabbling in front of her. "everyone leave, I have important matters I must attend to, matters that that are more important than this stupidity".A relieved sigh escaped the three in front of her as they got up to leave. Noticing Maru leaving with them she spoke up. "apart from you Maru, I have something to talk to you about." Said girl slowly turned around and walked forward with a sheepish smile.

Silence filled the room as the others left, leaving just Maru and Sienna, an awkward silence between them, with the former finally breaking the ice. "Soo… what is it that you wanted to talk to me about? And just so you know if it was anything bad it was Nyx. "

Sienna sighed, regretting her life choices that led her up to this point. "I wanted to talk to you about your punishment as well as your next mission".

At the word punishment Maru seemed to deflate, but once her next mission was mentioned she seemed to become completely energized.

"Ooooh, is it gonna be fun? Do I get to crack some heads, or will I finally get to fight some military bastards to stick it to that fucking tincan?." Maru rapid fired at Sienna, her smile growing at each suggestion until Sienna broke her string.

"Your mission will coincide with your punishment". Seeing the deflated expression on the near psychopathic handful of a woman in front of her, Sienna had a small smile grow on her face.

Slightly recovering from her earlier despondent state and resigning to her fate Maru asks with a sigh "so what's the mission boss?".

"You will be infiltrating and destroying a military encampment that is encroaching on our Atlas branch base" Sienna says, enjoying the large smile growing on the other woman's face, only to break her happiness with her next few words. "the way this corresponds with your punishment is that you will be taking two people with you, along with your usual team, this will be their first official mission so you must keep them safe and make sure they learn the ropes".

The confusion on Maru's face made it clear she didn't understand something. "Why would we take freshies to a military encampment for their first mission? That's hardly safe".

"You needn't worry, you will have Adam with you as well, he will help you and your team keep them safe" Sienna said much to the woman's horror.

"You can't be forcing that damned bastard on me, he's got the biggest stick up his ass and he seriously hates me, please don't force me to have to work with him, i'll do anything, anything please!" Maru pleaded.

"You will be working with him and that's final, you will move out tomorrow morning, be ready." Sienna said, sealing Maru's fate.

Sienna spoke as Maru staggered exaggeratedly towards the large doors."oh and Maru? You are, and I can't stress this enough, not aloud to kill anyone whether they deserve it or not."

Leaving the hall Maru absentmindedly swayed down the corridor like she had just lost all joy and hope in her life, until she heard two sets of small feet running towards her.

Turning around she sees two young girls only at the age of ten, one rocketing towards her the other coming slower from behind.

The running girl jumps as she gets close enough and yells. "Big sis Maru!!"

Maru catches the young girl who had lightly tanned skin brown hair tied in a long ponytail running down her back, she had gray eyes, the girl following behind had long ashen black hair, amber eyes and two small feline ears poking up from her head.

In response to the girl in her arms yelling, Maru laughed happily and greeted. "Hello to you to Ilia, it's been a while" Then nodding to the other girl and saying. "Hello as well Blake."

Then Blake nodded back. "Hello Maru."

Ilia then spoke up, still held in Marus arms. "Hey hey, big sis did you hear we get to go on our first mission soon!." She exclaimed excitedly.

Maru's eyes went wide in recognition, dropping Ilia who gave an indignant squawk as she fell. "Oh shit, you're the ones I'm gonna have to babysit! Fuuuuck, Kali's gonna have my head if anything happens, fucks sake Sienna why did you have to put responsibilities on my head? I can hardly look after myself let alone these two, fuck, fucking damnit….". She groaned.

As Maru continued her rant the two girls looked at her like she was an idiot, that was until they heard that she's going to be the one who they will be going on a mission with. One of the two instantly got hyped up, the other still looked at her like she was an idiot.

Maru's rambling was cut short by a very loud and very happy squeal of. "Our first mission is going to be with big sis Maru! yay!"

"Haha yeah, I'm going to have to show you the ropes, hahaha" Maru laughed out, not hiding the strain in her voice very well.

Another loud squeal came out of the girl as she ran to hug Maru. "This is going to be awesome!"

After a good couple of seconds of hesitation Maru finally strained out a "Yeah awesome". She then muttered under her breath. "God damnit Sienna I'm going to get you back for this"

Maru continued back to her room to give the mission briefing to her team members, the two girls in tow.
