Chapter 1: Catching Bumblebees.
To say that this day was going to hell in a nutshell would be a grievous understatement.
Grimm, swarming the streets of Vale, attracted to the negative emotion emitted from the events from the Vytal Festival, headed straight for Beacon academy, White Fang soldiers arriving via airship to add to the carnage, slaughtering any human, faunas or Grimm on sight.
The remaining huntsman and huntresses, native or visiting for the tournament, were either fighting to stave off the Grimm and White Fang soldiers, making sure that civilians escaped the attacks, or simply fled, in hopes of saving themselves.
The Vytal Festival had started out so well, to celebrate peace between the kingdoms, but soon turning a breeding ground for hatred and distrust, in the form of two Beacon students causing grievous injuries, including the evisceration of an Atlesian cyborg with the appearance of a young girl, thus putting Ozpin's methods of teaching into question, and exposing Ironwood for his use of resources to create robotic soldiers with auras to resemble children, and bringing his forces into Vale.
No one knows who to trust.
However, in the midst of the chaos, as the instigators look on, there's another evil slowly moving into the fray, spreading their corrupting influence onto other souls, either willingly...or forcibly.
"Hello there." a woman's muffled voice called out. The monkey faunas, Sun Wukong jumped in surprise, turning to turning to meet who had greeted him.
There stood a woman, roughly around Goodwitch's height, dressed in light blue armor and a black lab coat. Her black hair was tied into a long loose ponytail, the top of her head covered by an medical cap and her nose and mouth covered by a medical mask, leaving only sharp blue eyes visible.
"Um, who are you?" the faunas asked, taking in the stranger's appearance.
"I'm a doctor." the woman replied, her mask muffling her voice slightly. " My co-workers and I are here to ensure that any injured students receive proper medical attention..." She points to a small medical airship, guarded by two large men, also wearing armor and hospital clothing, one a blonde human, the other, a black-haired bear faunas. "...and I'd like to start with those two girls right there." she finishes, now pointing towards a black haired teen wearing a bow on her head looking at an unconscious blonde girl, her stump of a right arm was bandaged, but blood was now seeping through, coloring the white strips of cloth a dark shade of crimson.
"You're a doctor?! Great, we could use all the help we can get." Sun says as a relieved grin spreads across his face, but soon his grin turns into a sad frown as he walks over and crouches down next the black haired girl.
"Blake? Hey, don't worry, a doctor's here to help. You and Yang are gonna be alright."
His words were met with only soft weeping and the occasional murmur of, 'I'm sorry.' Blake only looks at Yang, tears now streaming from her yellow eyes.
The doctor crouches down for further examination on the two fallen students. Yang, for the most part had no other injuries, other her missing limb. She was very much unconscious, most likely going into shock after receiving the wound. The arm seems to be completely cut off, stopping above the elbow, the bandages doing little to stop the bleeding, as a puddle was now beginning to form.
Shaking her head, she turns to examine Blake. The girl was still crying, her breathing shaking with each breath. A red mark is visible on her left cheek. Her left arm was outstretched and hand clutching the unconscious Yang's, while her right hand covered her the side left of her stomach.
"Hm?", grunted the doctor as she tilted her head one side to get a better look. Silently, she moves Blake's arm, somewhat surprised to be met with little to no resistance. Blood coats the palm of Blake's hand. With a glance at Blake, she slowly lifts the hem of Blake's white shirt. Blood was slowly, but steadily pouring from a open stab wound, a two inch insertion, missing any vital organs, but if not treated soon, it risks getting infected.
"My my, you two have had quite a night, haven't you? I can tell whoever did this, certainly knew what they were doing. Don't worry Mr..."
"Wukong. I'm Sun Wukong, and they're gonna be alright, right Doc?" asked Sun as he stands up.
"Oh absolutely, you needn't worry about a thing, Mr. Wukong. Your friends will be fine, but they do need to get to a hospital for treatment. Luckily for you, my companions are equipped with handling those situations such as this, excuse me." the woman replies with an unseen smile. She turns away and walks towards the ambulance and two the men. Sun could see them talk and nod their heads, now walking to the back of the vehicle, and opening the doors, reaching in and pulling out collapsable two gurneys and making their way back.
"Gentleman, be a couple of daisies and get Miss Yang, and Mr. Wukong, would you mind assisting me with Miss Blake?" She asks as the two men loaded Yang on to the gurney.
"Y-Yang?" Blake whimpers as her hand slips from the blond's.
"Sun, What is going on? Who is this?" Sun turned to face Weiss Schnee, and a small dog, running toward the ambulance.
"Weiss! Don't worry, she's here to help Blake and Yang." Sun exclaimed, setting Blake on the gurney.
"What? Oh my god, Blake! Yang! What happe-"
Weiss's question was interrupted by a ear-splitting screech erupting from above, an enormous Grimm wyvern soaring over the school and circling the CCT tower.
"Umm I don't think that thing is going wait around while you ask questions, these two are in serious need of medical attention!" The doctor said as she loaded Blake onto the ambulance. "Almost done, now before we do anything else, is there anyone else who needs help?"
"Yeah, there's Nora and R-"
"We're not leaving!"
"What?!" Sun and Weiss yelled in unison. " Why NOT, look at yourselves, you have to go!" Sun exclaimed.
"But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing! Oh." Retorted Nora, attempting to get up on one knee, but instantly falling back down, clutching her sides in pain.
"Oh come on! Look, that giant Grimm keeps circling the school. We have to go, NOW!" yelled Sun, pointing to the Grimm wyvern.
"We're...not...leaving, ugh." Ren shot back, almost standing, but falling to one knee, grabbing his right side, most likely from cracked ribs.
"WEISSS!"
"Ruby!" Weiss (and Zwei) runs towards a younger girl dressed in red and black with a long red cape.
"Oh, I found you!" Ruby gasped out, happy to be reunited with her partner.
"Ruby where have you-"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. What's going on?"
Weiss falls silent, lowering her gaze, not knowing what to say to the silver-eyed reaper about what has happened to her older sister and friend.
"Weiss? What is it? What's wrong?" Ruby questions, concerned over the sudden silence. Weiss slowly turns and points to the ambulance. Ruby's eyes widened in horror as she watched her older sister, be carted into the ambulance, unconscious and bleeding from her missing arm.
"Yang..."
"She's going be alright. Blake, too. So don't worry, they getting help." Sun calmly says, seeing Ruby's eyes beginning to tear up. "But we need to go, now."
"Not without Jaune and Pyrrha! They're still missing!" Nora cried out.
Ruby snaps from her temporary shock, and looked back at Nora. "WHAT?!" cries the reaper.
"Look, I hate to break up this little pow-wow here, but I think those big airships are here to pick you all up." The doctor points to the sky, watching several airships descend upon Beacon.
"That's it! Everybody on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!" yelled out Professor Port to any remaining students and civilians.
"A safe zone has been established in Vale! Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel!" called Profess- Doctor Oobleck, pushing his glasses up to the beige of his nose.
"But we can't go! What if Jaune and Pyrrha are in trouble?! We can't just abandon them!" Nora said, fear and sadness eminent in her normally cheery voice.
Ruby looks at Nora and Ren, then to the ambulance that contained Blake and Yang.
"I'll find them. I'll find them and I'll bring them back." A serious glint shimmers in Ruby's eyes.
"No. We will find them." Weiss firmly retorts, walking to stand next to Ruby. Weiss turns to Sun and the doctor. "Look after Nora and Ren. We'll be back. Come on Ruby."
Ruby nods her head, and turns to face the doctor. "Please take care of Yang and Blake."
"You have my word. They will be safe with me."
At that, Ruby and Weiss turn and speed off, hoping to save their missing friends before something horrible happens.
Sun takes a step forward, and shouts after them." You two better be back! Idiots." He looks down at Zwei, who looks back up at him, whimpering.
The doctor sighs and begins to walk to the back of the ambulance. The back entry was still open, revealing her two patients. She walks in, and gazes upon Yang, who is still unconscious, and then turns to Blake.
"Well, at least you've stopped crying. A pretty little Faunas like you shouldn't be weeping."
Blake's still shaky breathing hitched, and she slowly turns to looks at the doctor.
"H-how?"
"Did you know that your bow twitches when you cry?" Blake's eyes widened as did the doctor's grin, now visible through her mask. "You should be more aware of that, but given your current situation, that's probably the least of your worries. Now wait right here, er, never mind, you're not going anywhere."
Silently nodding, Blake watches as the Doctor turns away and grabs a pair of gloves and tends to Yang, applying the blonde with a anesthetic mask, to sedate her patient, and began removing the bloody bandages. Given her line of work, she was no stranger to wounds, minor or major, but she had to stare at the wound for a moment to take in what she dealing with. The cut was so clean, done with so much force, but with such accuracy, she takes a moment to admire the wound. She breaks her stare off to disinfect the wound. Yang grunts in pain and squirms slightly to the burning sensation. Blake ears twitch at the sound, her chest tightening harshly with guilt, ignoring the pain in her side.
After a few moments, Yang settles down, and the doctor reaches into a medium sized bin and pulls out a two clean syringes and two jars both filled with a black substance. Both jars were labeled; one labeled, 'Bone marrow' and the other labeled, 'Flesh'. Dipping one syringe in the 'bone marrow' jar, the Doctor fills it, examining it, making sure it doesn't drip.
Turning back to Yang, the doctor aims the syringe at the still bleeding stump. Positioning the needle to the center of the wound, she pushes the needle into the bone, in the marrow, injecting the black fluid into the blond's wound until no more could be given. She repeats this process with the 'flesh' jar, but this time, injecting the slightly thicker fluid into the meat surrounding the bone, until the syringe was empty.
Tossing the two used syringes into a biohazard waste basket, the Doctor pulls out a roll of bandages, colored black, and ties them to the wound, momentarily stopping the bleeding.
"That's one down. One to go." turning her attention to Blake, she turns to apply the anesthetic mask to the Faunas.
"Don't worry, you're both going to be alright." the Doctor cooed, covering Blake's face with the mask. Blake could feel the gas enter her system, dulling her senses. Before her consciousness began to slip from her, she could make one last sentence.
"When I'm done with you two, you'll both feel reborn."
And with that, Blake passes out.
Several minutes later, the Doctor steps towards the front of the ambulance and knocks on the small opening. It opens up, revealing the two men from outside.
"Both patients are ready to go, but you two go on without me."
The men look at the doctor in confusion. "Where are you going?" the bear faunas asked.
The doctor removes her medical cap and mask. "I do believe we're going to have some last minute admissions joining us tonight, gentleman. Drop these two off, and I'll call you to pick me up." She steps out of the aerial ambulance, looking around for anyone who might see her and runs off into the Beacon courtyard.
