RWBY AU-Thru The Dark: Snowy Forest
"Dad!?" both Ruby and Yang shouted in surprise
"hey my little sweet angels!" Taiyang said as he went to his daughters and hugged them for a brief moment "How have the both of you been? Daddy missed the both of you so much!"
"ugh—Dad—we're fine" Yang Said as she smiled a bit
"yea! And don't worry we can take care of ourselves dad!" Ruby said pouting as she raised and pumped her fists'
"hahahaha ok ok, but be careful on this mission ok?" Taiyang said as he petted Yang and Ruby's head "This mission will be a very dangerous one, so be sure to be prepared at all times ok?"
"Yes Dad" both of them replied as they both looked at each other smiling widely
"so Ruby and Yang.. He's your father?" Blake asked as she approached them
"Oh, yeah. By the way dad, this is our teammates. Blake and Weiss" Ruby said pointing the two as she introduced them
"Blake Belladonna.. The daughter of Buck and Olivia Belladonna" Taiyang said as he stood up and went to Blake "nice to meet you Miss Belladonna" he said as they shook hands
"Umm nice to meet you too sir, if I may ask.. Why do you know my parents?" Blake asked out of curiosity
"We used to be close friends especially with Miss Schnee's parents" he said as he went to Weiss
"Umm.. What do you know about them sir?" Weiss asked looking a bit curious
"Mist and Daisy Schnee, the two of them were great partners and teammates with Blake's parents until the war.." he cut his sentence and cleared his throat "I'm sorry for your loss Miss Schnee.." he said placing a hand on Weiss' shoulder
"Its fine" Weiss said letting out a soft sigh "that's to be set aside for now" she added with hand gestures
"Everyone, it's time to go" Ozpin called out as he gestured them to follow.
Taiyang and the other five followed Ozpin to an abandoned warehouse where they were to get ready
"Now as much as I want to protect you all, I'm afraid that I am not in the capacity to do so. So that's why keep alerted and ready at all times, we never know when and where an enemy would attack. Is that understood?" Ozpin cautioned
"Yes sir" the four replied before they readied their weapons and proceeded to head out to the snowy forest with Taiyang and Ozpin in the lead
As they continued to walk deeper into the forest, pass thru the howls of beowolves. The growls of huge a huge Ursa and other creatures of grimm where the group managed to defeat those that they encountered
"How deeper do we have to go further Professor Ozpin?" Yang asked as she just finished taking down a huge Ursa and proceeded to walk towards Ozpin along with the others
"Just a little bit mo-" before he could finish his sentence a voice cut end of him
"Well, seems like some intruders manage to come this far" a rather cold voice of a female was heard
"Who was that!?" Ruby said as they formed a circle facing back to back as they were alerted
"Now.. Now, don't be afraid I won't bite…" she said as she walked out of the thick snow storm into a visible sight
"Hello, visitors" she added as the others looked over at her.
A tall girl with silvery blue hair wearing a brown leather jacket with a touch of white fur and a white fang mark at the right upper sleeve of her jacket, paired with a military like pants and a pair of black stylish combat boots with thick hard steel below.
She smiled at them as she took off her black headphones, munching on a strawberry flavored lollipop
The other four took a stance and got ready to attack when Ozpin took a step forward and told them to relax
confused, Weiss asked "who is she? Is she a comrade of ours? Professor"
Proceeding to walk towards the new girl, Ozpin smiled a bit "that's is to be known" he replied
"Oh, so you're Ozpin" she said in a cold yet almost honeyed tone as she stared at him with her blue hues
"Yes, indeed I am Miss Silver" he said greeting as he nodded a bit "now if you would allow us to pass by, I was in thought to the matter of you knowing the 'Master' of these grimms in this forest" he added
"Well, it happens to be yes but sadly I am not allowed to speak the 'master's' name" she said with hand gestures blinking a few times as she opened her palm, a snowflake appeared and was blown away by the cold wind.
"Is that so, very well then" He said with a nod as he closed his eyes
"Silver!?" Blake muttered a bit surprised as she saw her old friend.
"Heyya Kitty~" Silver greeted with a wink. Silver turned her gaze to the others, her eyes widened as she saw Ruby. She quickly turned her gaze back to Ozpin and asked in an almost whispering manner "Is she the—"
"Yes, she is" Ozpin replied "now if it wouldn't be a hassle to you, would you mind leading us to a shelter nearby?" he asked smiling a bit
Silver nodded and led the way to a cliff-by mansion.
It looked abandoned yet, was well maintained inside. Ruby and Yang found it familiar.
Taiyang frowned a bit as he looked at the mansion before glazing at his daughters.
Ozpin and Silver went in as they both gestured the others to come in as well.
As they went inside and sat down on the couch, Ruby and the other 3 eyed the place. Silver petted Zwei that surprisingly didn't growl at her.
Blake hid behind Ruby as she eyed the mutt that walked pass them towards Taiyang
"As I can remember, this mansion is one of the family mansions of the Rose Family correct?" Ozpin asked as he took a sip of his coffee, looking at Taiyang and Silver.
"Yes" Taiyang answered nodding in agreement
"Then, if I may ask Ms. Silver" Ozpin said turning his attention to the Silvery white haired girl
She knew what Ozpin meant by his words "She, took care of me for a year or two" Silver replied as she continued to savor her strawberry flavored Lollipop.
