RWBY Fanfic

Wow, I'm rambling well without further a due I hope you enjoy my story*
While most of Remnant was at home, cosy in their beds, Ruby was fighting in the last line of defence at Beacon, working with her teammate Weiss to help fend off the Grimm that had been brought to the school by the White Fang and Cinder. Ruby didn't know what the end goal was but she was determined to fight and rid the school of the evil, however, she could not shake the feeling that one of her friends was in trouble, specifically the red-haired girl from team JNPR.
"We have to get to Pyrrha. I think she may be in trouble," I practically screamed as Weiss dug Myrtenaster through the exposed underbelly of the Ursa. Which immediately dissipated into dust on the hard concrete floor beneath them?
"That girl is one of the best warriors in our school. She can take care of herself." Weiss was clearly not aware of who Pyrrha was facing.
"I know she's a good, no, the best fighter, however, I'm still worried, Jaune said she was going after Cinder," she swore she could see Weiss's expression change almost immediately.
After she made her comment Weiss turned around, now she could clearly see that Weiss was terrified.
"RUBY! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE? SHE'S IN EXTREME DANGER. WHERE IS SHE?" 'Weiss is clearly more worried than I am' Ruby thought to herself
Without any delay, Ruby pointed her finger towards the top of beacon tower.
"Up there."
"Of course, she went up there alone."
"If you want to get up there fast then you know what to do." 'OHHH YEAH! This is going to be fun' Ruby thought to herself, anticipating the next action
"Ok I'm ready" Ruby stood there waiting for Weiss to cast the glyph. As soon as she saw the familiar white light on the base of the tower she used my semblance and gun to give her a boost. Every time she touched the white glyphs she got faster and closer to the top of the tower, Cinder and the giant flying Grimm in the sky.
"I'm coming, Pyrrha! Just hold on" she was playing the worst scenario over and over in her mind, fearing the worst.
As Ruby was jumping up the side of the tower, Pyrrha was fighting her own battle against the strongest opponent she had ever faced, the person who stole the fall maidens' power.
"Cinder, why do this? What do you gain?" What has Cinder been through to become this cold? No matter what happens I just need to keep stalling her. 'If I stall her long enough my friends can get away' Pyrrha thought to herself
"The question is what do I lose if I don't do this."
"I hope you said your goodbyes to your friends because you're not walking out of this battle alive." Pyrrha could tell from the way Cinder was talking she was angry
Pyrrha lifted her sword and shield digging her feet into the ground. While trying to suppress the fear welling inside her, she forces out "Even if I fall here today, I have saved more than one life, I would say that's a fair trade. Wouldn't you Cinder?"
"Still willing to fight; I am a maiden now you can't even begin to match me on power"
"We'll see about that" Pyrrha was now trying to figure out how she was going to defeat Cinder. She was forced out of her thoughts as her sword clashed with metal that was ripped up from the ground by the power of the new fall maiden.
Pyrrha staggered backwards before gripping her sword with all her might trying to suppress her shaking 'Calm down Pyrrha. You can win this!' Her hands steadied as she collected her thoughts 'ok now use combos of attacks. Be smart about this' and ran forward and swiped her sword down. Cinders' power blocking the attack. 'Got you' she thought before using her strength to throw herself over the fall maiden, attacking from behind.
"So predictable."
A sharp pain hit the red head's hands. Pyrrha's sword was knocked out of her hands as a piece of metal slashed her hands, damaging her aura.
Pyrrha ran back grabbing her sword, sliding under a flurry of scrap, turning the sword into a gun and firing at the maiden.
A snicker was heard from the fall maiden. "You missed" 'What! How did I miss?' Pyrhha thought with dread
"Now let's see if you can handle this" Cinder shouted out as she ripped more metal out of the floor with her immense power and began to throw them at colossal speeds towards Pyrrha who lifted her shield just in time to block. However, with the power of the impact Pyrrha was sent flying back towards what was remaining of the walls of the top of the tower, a loud scream came out of Pyrrha's mouth as she tried to stand up, this motion was halted when a sharp pain in her leg had caused her to almost topple over now realizing she had broken one of her legs. 'How is my aura already depleted?'
"Have you had enough yet?" Cinder usually had no empathy in her words but Pyrrha could sense there was a hint of remorse.
"N...Not yet I...I can s...still mo...Move" 'I just need to stall for a little while longer' Pyrrha tried to get back up. She forced her broken foot beneath herself, pushing against the ground. The sharp pain that surged through her body was a clear message. She could barely stand anymore, let alone fight. She knew she couldn't give up, she couldn't disappoint her friends. As a last-ditch attempt to strike down the maiden she swings at Cinder while using her semblance to stabilise herself. A wheeze was let out as Cinder forced her knee into Pyrrha's stomach.
"Ok this is just pitiful" Cinder now stood there with the humanity she had a few seconds ago gone 'N...No'
Cinder smiled hearing a familiar child's voice shout "I'm coming, Pyrrha! Just hold on."
"How about we give your friend a reminder of what will happen if she defies me?" Cinder chuckled; she pulled out the familiar bug that helped her take the power of the fall maiden from autumn.
'No! Ruby, don't' Pyrrha tried to force out something, anything to warn ruby.
Tears ran down her face as her head was pulled towards Cinder's bug in her hand, in the space of a second, it was attached to Pyrrha's face stealing her semblance.
"This could be useful to Salem" Cinder picked up Pyrrha's sword, after a few seconds, an idea popped into her head.
"Goodbye, Mrs Nikos."
Weiss, now seeing her teammate running up the side of the tower, decided to go help the rest of the survivors from the Grimm.
"I should go find Blake and Yang." 'Ruby can handle herself, after all, I Weiss Schnee am her teacher' she reassure herself
Weiss walked around Beacon helping survivors against the Grimm and the once friendly robots. All was going well until she found Blake and Yang on the floor with a tall man with red hair and a neon red sword walking towards them, (Oh no he's going for Blake.) he lifted up his sword and Weiss's heart stopped as he swung his sword at Blake slicing her head clean off. 'No! this can't happen they can't die!' Weiss almost screamed until she realised it was one of Blake's shadow clones, 'Thank god Blake is a fast thinker!' Weiss spotted Blake and yang limping away from the tall redhead. 'Weiss come on, you can help your teammates escape' before he could start to give chase to injured teammates she swooped in and spoke
"Excuse me. I am Weiss Schnee and the people you were just attacking were my teammates, if you want to hurt them you have to beat the perfectionist of Beacon." 'This shouldn't take up too much time, once I beat him I should go find Yang and Blake and see if they're ok' she thought, confidence oozing from her before it was immediately replaced, this time by intrigue as the tall man spoke
"A Schnee, you could prove to be a valuable asset to the White Fang" Weiss didn't know what it was but she could tell he wasn't talking about ransom money, without thinking or saying anything Weiss charged at the tall man. The tall man moved a step to the left milliseconds before she hit him, 'How did he dodge that?' she thought to herself as she struggled to stay upright
"Ha some perfectionist you are." the redhead remarked.
Weiss was only able to say "What how di..." before the redhead swiped his sword hilt to the heiress' head, enveloping her vision in darkness.
"Yang!" Blake screamed tears were now filling her eyes. "Don't you leave me!" Blake pulled on her ribbon, undoing the knot that held it in place. "T... this can't be happening again."
Even Blake couldn't understand her own words as they were being drowned out by her sobbing. She, however, steadied her hands, delicately placing the ribbon on the blonde's arm, applying pressure on the gashing wound, hoping to stop the blood flow. Once the ribbon was secured around her partner's arm, the wound on her side that had been inflicted upon her prior to Yang arriving caught up with her as a jolt of pain surged through her body, almost making the Faunus collapse.
"No, I won't let pain stop me from saving a friend." Blake powered through the pain.
Blake walked for what felt like hours of excruciating pain, shouting out for help. Eventually, she got help from one of the survivors that were looking for the wounded. Blake passed the blond over to the helper and forced out a whisper in her ear as she powered through the pain and the tears.
"I'm sorry..."
There was a pause. Blake was about to turn away, before a voice let out a sigh, with a forced laughter.
"Do…don't be. It was my choice to help you."
"But it's my fault that you got injured." The tears were flowing more now than before, like a waterfall.
"Blake, stop with the waterworks. It was my choice." There was an eerie silence before the blond spoke. "Do you want to make it up to me?" her eyes had a worried expression in them like her world was hinging on the answer that she would get.
"Yes, I want to make it up to you."
"Ok," a smile came to Yang's face, "then promises me one thing."
"Anything," Blake replied with no hesitation
"No..." The blond hesitated as she slowly spoke. "No matter what happens to me, after today, you have to promise to stay with Ruby and protect her."
"I promise. I will protect her, no matter what." The two linked hands as the student helped get Yang to the extraction ship.
Ruby was now getting closer to the top of the tower; she knew she had to hurry. Pyrrha was against Cinder on her own. Ruby was certain she was in a lot of trouble.
As she took the final leap, she heard that line that she hoped she would never hear from Cinder
"Goodbye Mrs Nikos"
Hearing that line made Ruby fear for her own life. Pyrrha was one of the strongest students in Beacon. If she fell, what chance did she, or any of her friends for that matter, stand against Cinder?
Just as Ruby reached the top of the tower she saw what would change the course of history in Remnant, as Cinder thrust Pyrrha's sword down, "NOO" Ruby shouted as the sword dug into Pyrrha's bare flesh
"R... RUBY I... I'M S... SO SORRY." was the last words Pyrrha spoke, before she dissipated into dust. 'N-no this can't be happening.'
Ruby thought to herself in total denialRuby was now being taken over by anger, her mouth moving on its own "I'll kill you"
"I'm sorry, what was that Mrs Rose?" Cinder's remark only angering Ruby even more as she snickered
"I'LL KILL YOU"
'Wait! Why's my head hurting? All I can see is white. what's happening?' Ruby was screaming at the pain in her head. It was like her senses had been heightened, even with her screaming she could hear a set of feet running away, 'No get back here' she tried to 's vision started to go, at that moment, Ruby heard a voice that took the pain away and gave her comfort 'it's time to let your inner demon take over!' Ruby's mind and vision faded into the abyss.
*Ok recap
Pyrrha's still dead-however Cinder stole her power, Yang keeps her arm. I'm sorry I don't want yang being the depressed one in this story, Weiss is captured by Adam, Ruby heard a voice when she activated her silver eyes, she also killed the giant ass flying Grimm, Cinder got away before Ruby used the silver eyes power. Finaly Blake promises to Yang that she will protect Ruby (This explains why she didn't run away like in the original show.)
