Back again surprisingly. Anyways hope you enjoy.
Still struggling to deciding on the pairing. So once again it can either be RubyxPyrrhaXWeiss or RubyXBlakeXPyrrha. So if you want you could tell me which one you think would fit.
Anyways onwards~
Bright white lights were the sight Weiss woke to, groaning as her head throb painfully. "Do everything have to be so bright here?" The white-haired huntress slowly pushed herself upwards, her head feeling like it weighs more than usual. She slowly scanned the white room, seeing only one bed beside her own. The long locks of golden hair were all she needed to see to know it was Yang besides her.
Yang was covered in injuries; her right hand was in a cast while her leg was suspended with a cast around it. For once the loud obnoxious snoring of Yang was welcome, knowing the blonde was enjoying a peaceful sleep even if they were in the hospital. Weiss scanned the room once more searching for Blake and Ruby. She rubbed her arm nervously, worrying about her two teammates. "How long was I out?" Weiss wondered out loud.
"Three days." Weiss jumped, searching for the voice. She relaxed slightly, the familiar sight of amber eyes glowing stopped her from leaping from the bed. "How are you feeling?" The faunus sat down in the chair besides Weiss bed. Blake had a few bandages, having not broken anything during battle. She was holding her ribs, her face showing discomfort but nothing more than that.
"Shouldn't you have ice on those?" Weiss ignored Blake's question, wondering why the faunus wasn't taking care of her ribs. She rolled her eyes when Blake decided not to answer, "My head just feel very heavy." Weiss reached for her head, brushing against bandages wrapped around it. "They…didn't cut my hair, did they?"
Weiss didn't wait for an answer, reaching around her to touch her hair. She paled feeling the length of her hair which no longer reached the lower half of her back. Her hair reached just above her shoulders, "Why…?" Her shoulder slumped, clearly upset.
"You had a concession…a bad one. You're lucky they didn't cut it shorter." Blake stated, her eyes landing on Yang who snored peacefully. "Your wound was located at the back of your head…moving around a lot of hair was troublesome for them."
Weiss looked at the blonde as well, a giggle escaping from her lips at the thought of Yang tearing the hospital apart for cutting her long locks. She was certain Blake was thinking about the same thing, "Blake…Where's Ruby?" The cat faunus looked away, sighing lightly. "Blake?"
"I don't know…I'm not allowed in her room." Blake voice held a deep sadness to it, almost like she was regretting something.
"Blake…is Ruby okay?" Weiss asked once more, locking eyes with the cat faunus. Ruby was her partner, she had the right to know if she was okay or not. The small leader wasn't perfect, but if their roles were switched Ruby would literally hop out the bed and find Weiss even if her leg was broken.
Blake looked away, not wanting to share the information Jaune had given her. "Ruby…was the last one standing…I think she may be worse than al of-"Blake stopped mid-sentence to push Weiss back against the bed. The huntress groan in annoyance, glaring at Blake with enough intensity to freeze the room.
"I want to see my partner." Weiss demanded leaving no room for negotiations.
"Okay." Blake rolled her eyes, searching around the room for something that would make moving Weiss easier. Her eyes landed on a wheelchair, 'I hope this isn't a bad idea.' Blake thought.
"Blake."
The Faunus turned, coming eye to eye with her smaller leader. She noticed the absences of Weiss and Yang, slowly closing the door. "Yes Ruby?" Blake turned her full attention to the goth girl who nervously shifted side to side.
Ruby kept her eyes locked with the Faunus, taking a few moments to build the confidence to speak. "I..I understand. You want to stop the white fang just like how Yang wants to find her mother." She started before rubbing her arm. "but…my instincts. My uncle always told me to follow them, everything…feels staged. Everything feels wrong."
Blake frown, her hand balling into a fist. "The White Fang have harm so many people and when we get the opportunity to stop them you want to back down because of instincts?" Blake nearly scream at the red head.
"YES I DO!" Ruby exclaimed, "Gathering information like you have shouldn't be this easy…finding Roman was harder than this…it was too easy!" Ruby slowly released a breath attempting to calm her nerves. "We don't have to back down…but maybe help from Team JPNR and Team CFVY would be wise."
Blake frown, "I don't care what you think Ruby. This is our chance to make things right, wasting time waiting for others would make us miss own only chance to make a difference!" Blake hissed, shoving Ruby back.
"You don't care!? I'm your leader!" Ruby pointed a thumb at herself, stopping herself before she could crash into the wall. "I'm thinking about what's best for the team not ju-"Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose slamming the blade into the dorm room floor, the barrel pointing directly at Blake who held Gambol Shroud.
The two glared at each other, Blake holding the blade in pistol form. After a couple moments, Ruby sighed putting Crescent Rose away. Blake never lowered her weapon, watching as Ruby pressed her forehead against the barrel. "You win Blake." She admitted defeated, "I hope…I'm wrong."
Blake seem to snap out of whatever phase she had entered during their argument. She dropped Gambol Shroud startled by her own actions. "Ruby…I'm sorry. I ju-"The faunus jumped feeling Ruby embrace her tightly.
"After this Blake…promise me. You'll think about how these actions affect all of us…including you." Blake eyes watered up, even after aiming her gun at Ruby; the leader was still concerned about her. Blake squeezed the smaller girl, sobbing lightly against her shoulder.
"I promise."
When the Black and White duo reached Ruby's hospital room, Blake released the handle bars of the wheel chair she helped Weiss into. The faunus stared at the closed door with a sick feeling in her stomach. She couldn't help but think about that argument her and Ruby had, the first one that didn't involve her weapon and Ruby wanting to make mods for it or learn how to use it. "You'll have to go in alone…I'll wait out here."
Weiss rolled her eyes, truth be told she sensed some bad blood between Ruby and Blake before they went after the White Fang. Unfortunately, she had no idea how deep it went or if it was part of her imagination.
Weiss slowly pushed open the door, her head was still throbbing but not as bad thanks to the lights in the halls being lighter than the ones in her room. The white-haired huntress rolled herself into the room, struggling a little to close the door behind her.
She twisted her chair around, surprised to see Pyrrha tall form next to the bed. The red head had a large bag next to her, which looked empty. "Pyrrha?" Weiss called out to the girl.
"Hello again~" Pyrrha greeted, offering a small smile. Her tone wasn't as cheerful as usual. The tall warrior didn't bother waiting for Weiss to roll herself over. Instead she stood up and pushed Weiss towards the bed.
The sight of Ruby surprised her, forcing her to suppressed a grasp. Her upper half was expose, covered in bandages from her torso down to under her breast. The doctors didn't bother putting a gown on her allowing the bandages to cover her breast. There was a large bandage from her bellybutton to her hip bone.
Weiss noticed there were burns around her left forearm, along with wire like cuts on her upper arm. Her right arm had frostbite along the fingers and forearms. The dark patches standing out on Ruby's skin. "Ruby…" Weiss also noticed that her hair was longer than it was before, 'But it only been three days.' She thought.
Ruby was in fact awake, staring at something on the foot of her bed in deep thought. She hasn't even acknowledged Weiss, almost like she didn't notice the white hair girl was there. Weiss was relieved to see the girl was awake and whole; though the color in her eyes seem to have dull down a little. Weiss took this moment to speak with Pyrrha. "You guys really saved us…thank you." Normally Weiss wouldn't do something like this, but she was certain they would all be dead and gone if the others didn't show up.
Pyrrha eyes widen, looking down at her feet. "We…we didn't save you guys." She admitted quietly, watching confusion take over Weiss features. "She did…" Pyrrha pointed at the leader, swallowing. She couldn't get the look of pure rage and hatred on Ruby's face out of her mind. The girl was always cheerful, but she had attacked without a second thought like a monster. Pyrrha was glad it was her who went and not someone who wouldn't have blocked Ruby's enrage attack.
Weiss was unable to speak, trying to picture Ruby fighting against Grimm without her precious Crescent Rose. "How…?" She wondered, a little worried when Ruby refused to look at her.
"She used your weapons…some of her injuries is from using them."
Weiss frowned, "Ruby that was very st-"
"Shut up." The cold tone was enough to stop the ice queen. Ruby turned to glare at her, showing that her left eye was missing. "What was stupid is thinking the White Fang wouldn't get sick of us tailing them like lost dogs!" Any response Weiss could think of died in her throat as she stared at where Ruby eye used to be. "I had to fight…." She stared at her hands, watching them shake violently as she thought about cutting though the countless numbers of Grimm.
Every time Ruby thought about what they got themselves into, her mind would go back to the argument with Blake. She wishes she had pulled the trigger instead of giving in, if she had knocked Blake out she wouldn't have fought Grimm to the point where she was covered in bandages. Her feet wouldn't be covered in blisters from running around the field killing Grimm. "This…it's all Blake's fault!" Ruby suddenly exclaimed with rage. She slammed her fist down on the rail. "White Fang this, White Fang that! She didn't even come up with a plan. And I just followed along thinking it made me a good leader to listen to such an idiot!"
Weiss stomach dropped listening to Ruby's violent outburst when it came to their teammate. She swallowed, trying to think of something to say. "You…don't really think that do you Ruby?" Weiss asked, she was expecting to meet the same girl who agitated her, not this one. "Without Blake we can't be team RWBY."
"If it wasn't for me there wouldn't be a team RWBY…every member would be Grimm food." Weiss felt sick picturing Ruby being torn apart and eaten trying to defend them. "Grimm teeth are sharp Weiss…I would know."
The ice queen had once again lost the ability to use her voice. She couldn't help but wonder how many wounds did the girl received and if they would heal correctly. Her eyes kept landing on the bandages over Ruby's left eye, wondering just how she lost her eye. "Greater Warg…" Ruby hand pressed against the bandage covering her eye softly. "That's what took my eye."
"But…I thought those didn't exist…" Pyrrha rubbed her neck, remembering the sight of the Grimm she saw dissolving when arriving on the battle field.
"I know what I saw." She glared at Pyrrha.
"But Ruby-
"Get out.' The two females flinched at the sudden demand. Ruby eye was staring at the door, a look of pure rage on her face. "I want to talk to Blake…I know she's out there."
"I'll tell her…but please be gentle with her. I understand you are mad but don't do anything you'll regret." Pyrrha said, looking concerned while pushing Weiss chair out before the girl could say anything.
Ruby eyes travel down to the pieces of Crescent Rose at the edge of her bed. She frowns at the weapon, wondering if it was possible to repair it. Blake would have the answers she wanted and then she'll never speak with the girl again.
"Blake." Ruby glanced at the door, watching the teen slowly shut the door behind her.
The moment Blake turned around their eyes met, she grasped at the sight of Ruby's missing eye. The number of injuries on her body made Blake feel like trash considering she was up and walking with just a little discomfort from her ribs. "Yes Ruby?"
Ruby scanned the girl, "Of course you wouldn't be hurt." She spat, her stare burning into Blake like fire. Blake remind silent not sure what to say to her leader, she was praying their relationship would heal after the battle with the White Fang. Unfortunately, it seems like it was going to do nothing but go downhill. "Do you…know what it feels like to choke on your own blood while trying to scream?" The question caught Blake off guard, not sure how to response. "I felt teeth tear though my shoulder leaving holes the size of soda cans…and I tore it apart in return."
Blake lower her eyes, feeling tears build up behind them at the thought of Ruby being in such pain because of something she caused. "Why…Why are you telling me this?" She couldn't help but wonder. She doubts Ruby wanted her to feel guiltier than she already did.
The girl didn't response at first, staring at the pieces of Crescent Rose on her bed. Her hands balled into fist tightly. "Because…I'm going to do the same to him." Her sliver pupil shakes as she glared at Blake with intensity. "What Is His Name?"
The area the White Fang were meeting in was nowhere in Vale like it had be before. The teens had travel a good distance from the city, the fang was most likely trying to prevent anyone from crashing their plans like Sun and Blake had done at the docks.
The area was a wide-open field which stretch on for a few miles. The field had a few large trunks with trailers attached to them. Ruby watched staring at the trailers with thought, "Why would they carry that much dust with them just to go nowhere?" The teen wondered in her head.
The other members of team BY of RWBY was only looking over the bolder blocking them from view of the white fang. Weiss was staring at their leader, wondering what she was thinking about. "Ruby…do you have a plan?" The huntress questioned. Ruby only glanced at Blake, this was her mission so she could give the orders.
Blake met Ruby stare for only a second before leaping to her feet and rushing the White Fang. "Whoa! This my kind of plan!" Yang screamed, taking off after her partner. Yang was not built for stealth, but combat was a completely different story.
The first member that spotted them was drop kicked by Yang, sending him crashing into a few more faunus. "I always wanted to do that!"
The black and yellow duo begun attacking relentlessly. Ruby frown at the display, doing nothing to stop Weiss from rushing in to help the duo. Normally Weiss would had thought over the situation, but she trusted Blake's judgement. If the faunus was sure they could win a up front battle against the faunus group than she'll do her part.
"This…doesn't feel right." Ruby eyes traveled back to the trailers, watching them shake violently. The familiar sounds of groans and howls entering her ears. "Grimm…" She stood on her feet, her blood rushing. "It's a trap!" She screamed, her eyes locking with Blake's from a distance.
Ruby vanished in a burst of Rose petals, appearing in front of Blake. The sound of metal connecting with metal rang though the area, Crescent Rose holding a red blade away from Blake. The man glared at Blake behind Ruby, a smirk appearing on his face. "So eager to attack my love…I thought you was the type to think before acting."
The faunus smirked, his foot connecting with Ruby ribs which sent her sliding out of his way. He took one step forward, swinging his blade for Blake legs. Blake flipped over the blade, rolling behind the man. Without hesitation, she swung Gambol Shroud for his neck, the attack stopping short as the air was forced out of her lungs from Wilt handle slamming into her solar plexus.
Blake slid across the floor, feeling rocks tear into her skin. She twisted her body while sliding to aim her pistol at Adam. She fired shot after shot which he either dodged or blocked with his weapon. Blake's back crashed into a bolder. Making her regret her decision to shoot instead of stopping herself "Tell me…who will save you now Blake?" Adam's slammed his foot into Blake's ribs, watching her scream. He quickly slammed the handle of Wilt into her face watching her lose consciousness. She had to be alive for what he had planned.
"Ice flower!" Ruby screamed, a glyph appearing in front of her as she fired her rifle at Adam. The bullet stunk his hand, freezing it. Ruby appeared in front of him, Crescent Rose above her head. She swung the blade down as hard as she could, feeling the steel connect with Adam's sword. She growls, pulling the trigger of Crescent Rose. The force behind the bullet shot Ruby backwards while forcing Adam to take a step back off balance.
Ruby rushed him the moment her feet touched the floor, not willing to lose her chance to inflict damage. She spun, swinging the blade of Crescent for his hip. The blade missed by just an inch when Adam leaped back.
He rushed forward, thrusting his blade for Ruby's face. The huntress titled her head just in time for the strike to miss. He recovered quickly, swinging his blade for Ruby's hip. The teen managed to block the attack with Crescent Rose. Adam continued his attacks, thrusting and swinging his blade at any spot Ruby left open.
Ruby bit her lip, she was regretting her decision to use a large weapon. Ruby was fast, fast enough to keep up with Adam moments with her eyes. But moving her heavy weapon to block attacks or attack was the difficult part. "Not bad…" Adam smirked.
The Faunus suddenly dipped low, thrusting his blade forward faster than he had down before. The blade was just an inch away from Ruby's face before it was knocked upwards. Adam sucked his teeth, leaping back from Ruby to dodge some icicles. "I doubt you can beat the two of us." Weiss smirked, standing straight with Myrtenaster held outwards.
Ruby glanced behind her just to see Yang tearing though the remaining white fang members. She was sure her sister didn't use her semblance saving it for when she joined the fight against Adam. "Hailstorm."
Weiss nodded, twisting the chamber in Myrtenaster while a glyph appeared around Ruby's feet. The teen begins to glow yellow, inhaling deeply while Weiss released ice dust into the air. Ruby vanished from existence, leaving only rose petals behind.
From every direction, frozen shards of ice ran down towards Adam. The faunus sucked his teeth in annoyance, he pushed his sword back into the sheath. The male widens his stance taking a deep breath before ripping his blade out and slicing the ice as fast as he can. "Smart but ineffective. I-"He lean forward just in time for Ruby scythe to fly over his head.
He was met with Weiss smug smile while Myrtenaster stunk his stomach, releasing a bolt of lightning which shot him in the sky. Ruby hand grabbed onto Weiss's, using her momentum to spin and toss Weiss in the direction she thought Adam would land.
The moment Adam feet touched the floor, Weiss was on him. The thin blade of Myrtenaster connected with Wilt, Adam noticed the way Weiss head was titled to the left just a little too late. A bullet from Ruby shot pass Weiss head and contacted with his mask, shooting his head back. He smirked, "These two are dangerous together…" He thought, wondering how the two could be so synced. "No more holding back." He thought while leaping back to create a small amount of distances and give himself time to recover from the bullet that nearly shattered his mask.
Weiss rushed him once more, knowing Ruby would interfere if she was in any danger at all. Weiss thrust her rapier for his face, the man ducked under the attack while dashing towards Ruby. The red head fired shot after shot at him, watching him block them with his sword.
The moment Adam was in front of her, he swung his sword upwards connecting with Crescent rose, "You don't seem to realize you lost!" Ruby was forced backwards from the strike, "I'm not going to play with you kids anymore!" Before he could attack her again, a glyph appeared at her feet. The red head was shot backwards out of Adam's reach.
In her place a screaming Yang came flying toward him. With her fist held back, Adam managed to block the strong attack at the last second. The force lead to him sliding across the floor, he pushed Yang arm aside with a groan of effort.
The duo fought, Adam blocking her heavy hits, dodging only when needed while swinging out with Wilt whenever he got the chance. Yang allowed some of the hits to tip her, the plan was simply. Build up the damage she receives and once her aura could no longer protect her she'll explode with more power than she ever had before.
Yang sway to the side while ducking to avoid a swing from Wilt. She quickly fired a haymaker for Adam's head, missing by only an inch when he leans back. Adam growl in annoyance, swinging Wilt horizontally for Yang's face. The blond held her forearms up, blocking the blow with Ember Celica. Sparks flew everywhere from the blade brushing against Ember Celica instead of Yang's face.
Yang took a step forward, rotating her hips as she swung a powerful punch for Adam's face. The blow was meant to create distances; she would activate her semblance now before she gets a serious injury. Yang grasp in surprise when Adam dodged her fist at the last second.
He grabbed her wrist, holding her arm out before slamming the hilt of Wilt into her elbow with power. Yang aura vanished as the sound of shattering bones echoed though the aura. Adam smirked listening to the blonde scream in pain, he quickly thrust his blade into Yang's thigh just above her knee.
He roughly jerked the blade to the side, feeling the bone break from the action. "You really thought my underlings didn't tell me about your semblance?" He smirked, Yang realized he had played with her for a few moments until he was sure her aura was low enough to inflict good enough damage.
Yang glared up at him, her semblance would be useless without her leg. Adam quickly delivered a powerful kick into Yang's face, sending her sliding across the floor. She collided with the bolder Blake was pressed against.
Ruby rushed to her sister, "Yang! Are you okay?" She frowns, realizing they shouldn't have let Yang fight with the high ranking white fang member even if it was only for a moment. Adam had managed to take her apart with ease like he done with Blake.
"Yes sis…just won't be playing footsie with Blake anytime soon." Yang smiled, trying to hide the pain she was feeling.
Ruby glanced back at Weiss who was avoiding Adam with the use of her semblance until Ruby could go and join her in the fight. Ruby bet her lip thinking about how they would possibly beat Adam without Yang and Blake. A thought entered Ruby head before she sighed out loud, "Yang…Enabler."
The blond eyes widen, "Have you lost your mind Ruby? What if it doesn't work?! That could kill you!" Yang exclaimed, her vision was fading in and out fast.
"Yang…he's going to kill us if we don't! Do it now!" Ruby ordered, her eyes shining with determination.
Yang sighed before reaching out and slowly pressing Ruby's forehead against her own. The two breathing became synched, the area between them warming up slowly before bursting into flames. The rocks below their feet slowly begin to burn.
A glass shattering scream escaped from Ruby's lips, feeling hot lava flow though her veins. She pulled away from her sister, knowing Yang had given her everything. Her body was covered in flames given to her from Yang, the damage Yang had taken was more than she had before leading to the power output being insane. "WEiSS Time Dilation!" Ruby screamed.
Adam kicked Weiss right after she shot the glyphs at Ruby. Ruby grasp when the clocked appeared at her feet, closing her eyes tightly. She could feel the power sinking into her body, intensifying the power she had already gain from Yang.
The leader of RWBY slowly opened her eyes, the sliver she usually had now a blood red from Yang's semblance. The huntress hair slowly grew longer till it touched her shoulder, tears appeared on her leggings the power eating away at her clothes. "All I have to do is injury him and make him retract…I don't have to win…I just can't lose."
Ruby bent her legs getting ready to rush forward, inhaling deeply. Adam placed his sword within his sheath once more getting ready for the girl to rush him. "You truly are a capable leader after all!"
Ruby frowns before shooting forward faster than she ever did in her left. Behind her was a trail of burning rose petals, she pulled Crescent Rose out bringing the blade behind her with a scream that echoed for miles.
The two-collided creating a shock wave that blew away all the grass in the area. A brilliant light flash though out the area, blinding Weiss. The forced of the collision was enough to send Weiss flying backwards, the back of her head colliding with the bolder her other two team members was up against.
Weiss vision faded slowly as she reached behind her head. The feeling of warm liquid coating her fingers sent a chill down her spine. She was just strong enough to glance over at the trailer, seeing the eyes of Grimm behind them. "Ruby…" She weakly reached out before consciousness left her.
Ruby was standing on the opposite side of Adam. Crescent Rose held outwards, the flames she had previously was gone. Ruby could feel the metal of Crescent Rose shaking before it broke into pieces, leaving her defenseless. Ruby felt a piece of her heart shatter at the sight of her beloved weapon being destroyed thanks to her recklessness. The red head quickly pulled out her phone sending an emergency message to JPNR
Adam turned to laugh at her, "I can't believe you th-"The male sword broke in two, falling onto the floor in front of him. He looked down at it in shock before blood erupted from his chest, a large cut from his left hip to his right shoulder was visible.
Ruby glared at him, watching the man shake with rage. "You…you're her leader." He reached down, struggling to do so with the large wound on his chest. The man picked up what remind of his sword, knowing he could fix it himself. "I hope you enjoy watching your team get eaten alive…I originally planned for Blake to watch as you guys were devoured. But now…you'll take her place." He struggled to walk away waving to the other white fang members.
The doors to the trailers were opened the moment Adam got into one of the trailer trunks. Tons of Grimm rushed out of them, "You shouldn't have played hero…. now you can die like one." Those was his last words as the trunk drove off leaving Ruby alone with Grimm.
Ruby stared in horror as they ate away at the unconscious white fang members that Adam had left behind. She knew it was only a matter of time before she became lunch too.
"What Is His Name!?" Ruby asked once more, her eyes on Blake who shifted a little from her intense gaze. When Blake didn't answer, Ruby frown deepen, "I now know what war feels like Blake! And it's all because of that man! To know one, slip up, one mistake will lead to never seeing someone again! Because I wasn't fast enough, because I wasn't strong enough, someone would die! "
Ruby scream at the black-haired girl, "He left his mark on me…and now I'll make him pay. All I want from you is a name." Her gaze met Blake eyes once more, "And then you can get out of my sight."
"Adam…Taurus." Blake whispered, fearing what Ruby would do with the information she been given.
After a moment Blake heard a sentence come from Ruby mouth that she never imagines happening. "I'm going to fucking kill him." Blake's heart dropped, fearing the path she put Ruby on from her own recklessness.
I know I kind of went over the top with the fight with Adam. The ending specially.
But I figured since Adam blade only absorb a little bit of power from Blake shooting at it during Volume 3 and still was strong enough to one hit Yang than it have to like triple the power it absorb. I'm also sure his blade absorb energy from being hit as well.
So after absorbing many blows from Ruby, Yang and Weiss he'll have a insane amount of power. I had no choice but to make Ruby one up it with the help of Weiss and Yang which lead to the destruction of Crescent Rose.
I know Enabler is Ruby and Yang ship name. So why not make it a team attack!?
ENABLER - Yang transfer the power she received from taking damage into Ruby.
HailStorm - Weiss use time dilation on Ruby while releasing ice dust into the air around them. Ruby uses the dust to fire frozen rounds from every direction thanks to the use of Weiss semblance and her own.
