Chapter 19: Favnear

May rubbed her eyes as she woke up from her sleep, after doing so and allowing her eyes to adjust to the morning sun, May looked around only to see her teammates were asleep as was Dr. Oobleck.

'Is Jaune still taking watch?' She asked herself

She got up from her sleeping bag and headed upstairs to see if Jaune was still awake. As she got up to the second floor, she saw no sign of Jaune.

'He's not here?' May thought

She quickly went back down to the ground floor and grabbed her rifle before she walked outside and looked around the nearby streets of the ruined city, but still no sign of Jaune. Now she was beginning to worry, she rushed back in and alerted her team.

"Guys! Guys!" May cried out

Her yelling slowly or abruptly woke up her team and Oobleck.

Oobleck put on his glasses and looked over at the sniper. "What appears to be the problem, Ms. Zedong?" Oobleck asked her

"It's Jaune, he's not here!" May said

"What?" Oobleck asked

"Jaune! He took watch last night and now he's not here!" May cried

"Before we assume the worst, let me try and contact Mr. Arc on his scroll," Oobleck said as he grabbed his scroll. Oobleck called Jaune but there was no answer, Oobleck tried one more but once again, there was no answer. "There's no answer," Oobleck said

"Oh great!" Brawnz said, "We lost him!"

"Not exactly," Oobleck said, "As long as his Scroll is not destroyed, we can track him, by an app that is installed into each student's scroll

"Beacon has something like that?" Roy asked

"Yes, this was a safety precaution that Ms. Goodwitch had come up with," Oobleck said. Oobleck activated the tracking app and where he saw Jaune's scroll surprised him, but also made his eyes widen with the realization of a crucial detail that he had forgotten about the city itself. "Of course! How could I have forgotten!?" Oobleck cried

"Doctor?"

"It explains why we haven't seen any criminal activity in the day! Long ago! When Mt. Glenn's upper settlement was being attacked constantly, but not wanting to move, many of the locals moved underground!" Oobleck cried

"Whoa! Are you saying that beneath us is an underground city!?" Nolan asked

Oobleck nodded, "Precisely! However, that's not all!" Oobleck told him "The underground city also developed a train system that connected right to the main kingdom for trading dust and other supplies, however, after breaching a cave that was filled with tons of subterranean Grimm, they closed off the system, I suspect that some criminals are using the underground city and train system as we speak!" Oobleck cried as he zipped all over the place

"Doc, What are you saying!?" May asked

Oobleck zipped over to her and looked right into her face, "My girl we're not just looking for an underground crime network! We're looking for an underground crime network!" Oobleck said

"What do we do?" Roy asked

"If Mr. Arc is down there, most likely taken hostage by these Criminals in the underground cave system, then we have no other choice," Oobleck began, suddenly, his thermos turned into a flamethrower staff, "We must go and get him back!"

May nodded in agreement and the other quickly took what they needed and followed professor Oobleck through the city to find a way into the underground city. Oobleck and BRN had a new mission, they would rescue the blonde knight!
