RWBY: Time to Say Goodbye
Notes and Disclaimers: This is a one shot, Yes it's a Weiss x Ruby but it's a one shot and well I don't plan on making this a series anytime soon but I might if people request it, I can try but I don't know but anyhow enjoy the story.
The Waiting Snow…
Weiss waited outside on the porch of Beacon as she awaited Ruby's return, but it has been nearly a whole week and there has been no sign of her partner. Even Yang or Blake didn't know where their team leader went; she didn't even leave a note or anything.
But star gazing one night, Weiss heard knocks on her team door, walking back inside she quickly let the guest inside which happened to be Professor Ozpin. Weiss just hopes that he had the answers behind Ruby's all the sudden disappearance. But as he walked into the room, Weiss noticed that he was holding a familiar scroll instead a cup of coffee, this was odd but this also left a sour feel in Weiss' stomach.
"Good evening Ms Schnee, I have come here to bring you this scroll and some bad news." His voice was slightly filled with sorrow and regret as he said that; this must have been bad, what could be this bad news?
Fearing the worst Weiss quickly took the scroll that Ozpin was holding out and opened it up. "This belongs to Ruby… what's the bad news…?" Weiss asked, but Weiss opened up the scroll as the professor explained, but she quickly forgot about the scroll as the professor explained.
"Well Ms Schnee, Ms Rose was a part of a special operation that saved all of Vale and its neighbours but that's not all. We're currently looking for her at this very moment but we believe her status to be… KIA or MIA, I'm dearly sorry to bring you this news."
Weiss' heard shattered that very moment, could Ruby be…? No this is impossible, she has to be alive out there somewhere, this time anger fuelling her beliefs that her team leader is in fact alive she lashed out at the professor. "SHES NOT DEAD, DON'T SAY THAT! RUBY IS ALIVE I KNOW IT, THERES NO WAY THAT SHE COULD BE DEAD!" Weiss collapsed to the ground sobbing in tears and breathing heavily, she didn't want to believe that Ruby is dead.
"Like I said Ms Schnee, I am dearly sorry to bring you this news, I know this must be hard on you but there's no reason to yell, we will continue looking for Ruby and you and the rest of team RWBY have the week off and now I must excuse myself, yet again I am sorry." Ozpin quickly left and Weiss continued to sob silently to herself.
Out of anger she threw the scroll across the floor, but instantly it lit up with the red figure that she missed so much and wished the return of. "Dear my friends, I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I'll be coming back from this, this is way too important and well I'm going to see this mission though, but if something happens…"
Walking down a snowy field was Ruby followed by several teams and teachers, but in front of them stood was hundreds of Grimm and so Ruby took her formation with several teams backing her up, on what she could see was two death stalkers with a at least three hundred Beowolves and maybe fifty or so Ursas and taking lead was a Nevermore.
Yang… I'll always love you and you're the best sister I've ever had and even if you play pranks on me or tease me about things, I'll always remember you… even if I never come back, you can always count that I'll always be with you in your heart.
Charging forward Ruby quickly laid waste to a dozen of Beowolves, but instantly she was knocked back by an angry Ursa. "Sorry but I have friends I wish to return to." Ruby shot a hole clean though the monster as she said that and kept on rushing forward leaving rose pedals everywhere she went and of course death and destruction too.
Blake, don't let your past hold you down you have friends that care for you, friends that love you and I wish I could be there to tell you this, but you're like a sister to me and I wish I could be there to hug you too, but don't let your past defy who you are. You're making lives better and you're making a difference too… just like those fairy tales me and you read… I miss you too Blake and good luck.
Ruby quickly stopped and reloaded her scythe as she looked about… she was surrounded and well, this was a tight situation she was in… but backing up a bit, she realised that she was back to back with a fellow teacher, they both looked around but the teacher was slightly intimidated by the amount of Grimm surrounding them. "Well, we're screwed." The teacher said.
"Just because we're out numbered doesn't mean we can't go out in style…" Ruby quickly spotted that the Beowolves were charging in for attack, "DUCK!" Ruby ordered and the teacher complied, instantly as if time warped that very moment, Ruby quickly span around in a deadly arc that sliced and diced everything that got too close. Feeling dizzy she quickly stopped and shook her head to regain her directions, smiling at her work she ended with a "Humph" and went to join the other groups that needed support.
And Weiss… my dear partner… also… I have a confession to make you. Weiss I know you might find this weird, but I love you… not just as a sister but I actually love you… I've had feelings building up from ever since we met and I know you may or may not find this hard to believe but I've always wanted to say I love you so much more than any friend or a sister…
Realising that the Grimm were winning, Ruby needed to think of a solution quickly… they were close to a bridge and well they could retreat now, but someone had to hold them back while the rest made it to safety. Deciding that it would be herself, she quickly ordered the teachers and all the other students to retreat across the bridge.
Weiss… I'm sorry that I never told you earlier… I was scared and I didn't know how you would react to my confession, you may hate me or something but I just wanted to tell you that I'll always remember you in my heart and well… if I never come back, I just wish you know that you were the best teammate I've ever had, even at the vytal festival, we got up to the top three because of you…
Fending off the Grimm Ruby watched as the last student made it across, but looking over her shoulder she saw no one, but the Grimm were making their way across too, thinking of something instantly she looked at the support cables… this might be a one way trip but Ruby saw that many of the students were severely wounded and they wound be massacred if she didn't do something…
And this may sound selfish of me but… it's time to say goodbye… I hate goodbyes… but I love you all… Yang… Blake… and especially you Weiss… goodbye…
Cutting the steel supports to the bridge, the bridge started to tumble and crack. But rushing over to the last support, she took one deep breath and sliced the last support and whispered. "Goodbye…"
Weiss started to tear up as she heard Ruby confess her love for her; Weiss also shared the same love with her but was also too scared to comfort her. "Don't say goodbye Ruby… Please... I hate goodbyes... Ruby…. I love you too…" Weiss continued to sob to herself as she crawled herself up to a corner of the room.
'Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or form of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable…'
Author Notes: Sorry but I had this idea in my head for a while as I listened to the song: Time to Say Goodbye by Jeff Williams. I hope you all enjoyed this one shot and well, hopefully it wasn't too confusing or anything, I just quickly wrote this because well… I needed something to do but anyhow have a nice day ya all.
