Chapter 1: Awakening.
I slowly open my eyes, and come to realize the pain in my head and chest. I awake to realize that I am in a white hospital room with bandages covering my right eye and midriff, and an IV pumping in blood and fluids. "Ugh, wh…where am I?" I say wearily. "Weiss, thank god, we thought you would never wake up!" says Blake with a teary smile. "Where's Yang, where's Ruby?" I ask. "Yang is in Ruby's room, Ruby is being kept heavily sedated until the doctors and neurologists can come up with a solution." says Blake. "A solution to what? Blake, wh…what happened, how long have I been out?" I ask. "You have been out for two weeks. What exactly happened, now that is a long and painful story." says Blake. "What. Happened. Blake." I say.
2 WEEKS EARLIER – VALE'S FINEST COFFEE – NEW BEACON.
"What on Vytal do you think you are doing Ruby?! Put that down!" I yell at Ruby who holds Crescent Rose to my neck. "SHUT UP! I am carrying out my orders, I am doing my duty for the world. You don't deserve to live after Cerebus, how you killed all of those helpless faunus is horrible to think of. This is a civic duty Weiss!" Ruby says. Ruby moves the blade away from my neck and swings the blade the other way, so that the blunt end is facing my way, ready to swing and cleave my head right off. "Ruby, what the fuck do you think you're doing?! Stop, please!" I beg. It's too late, the blunt end makes contact with my right side, and a massive pain shoots through my entire body as I am thrown out the window, and plummet 3 stories. I open my eyes to see Ruby approaching me, probably to finish the job, when I hear a gunshot, and I see Ruby fall in front of me. I look up to see Yang, with her arm stretched forward, just recovering from firing Ember Celica, and I fall into darkness.
PRESENT DAY – NEW BEACON ICU
"So… so she's really gone, she's dead?" I ask, tears flooding my eyes. "No she is not dead, but she is… altered, her mind has been compromised, corrupted by Ibdon gas. We don't exactly know if she will ever return to normal, but that is not your concern, what is your concern is that you have a moderate concussion and all your ribs on your right side were broken, you will be in bed for at least another two months." says Blake. "I…I need to see her, NOW!" I yell. "I'm sorry but I can't…" Blake begins. "Please." I say to Blake before darkness envelops my vision once again.
