Chapter 3: A day out and night time prime time for mystery
time: 0800
location: city of vale
it had been a few days since what Chappy had promised the team was still wondering what he meant he put it off a few days trying to figure out how best to explain it the girls have been patient about it but as it is close to the Vytal festival they really start to wonder if they were ever gonna get it
but they shrugged it off and just went to enjoy themselves in the city today well Weiss wanted to go and handle something
"The Vytal festival! Oh this is absolutely wonderful!" Weiss said as she saw two men setting up the welcome to vale sign
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much Weiss. It's kind of weirding me out." Ruby said as she was slightly confused at Weisses current antics -"but it is also rather cute to see- WOAH why are these thoughts coming to my head now?! just calm down ruby keep calm and keep those thoughts away figure it out later"-
"How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances, parades, a tournament! Oh the planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking." Weiss said as she twirled a little happy as can be
Yang sighs "You really know how to take something and make it sound boring." she finished as she glanced at Blake one time before keeping her gaze for word trying to shake away and odd thoughts
"Quiet you." Weiss said as she kept walking
"Remind me again why we are spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid dock." Yang said as she stopped at the railing of the dock while Ruby pinched her nose
"Oh they smell like fish." Ruby said as she kept her nose pinched
"I heard students are visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom." Weiss said as she turned to the group
"She wants to spy on them so she can have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake plainly stated as they started walking
Weiss scoffed and turned to Blake and stopped "Ugh, you can't prove that." Weiss stated as she looked at Blake
"Whoa…" Ruby said as the group walked over to a looted dust shop and stopped at the Poilce tap "What happened here?"
"Robbery, second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." one of the cops stated as he walked over to his partner
"That's terrible." Yang said not liking what's been happening
"They left all the money again." said the second cop
"Huh?" Ruby said confused at that
"Yeah, it just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much dust?" said the first cop confused by all this
"I don't know, an army?" the second cop said as he shrugged a bit
"You thinking the, uh… White Fang?" said the first cop trying to figure out who and why needed that much dust
"Yeah, I'm thinking that we're not getting paid enough." the second cop said
"Hmm, the White Fang. What an offal bunch of degenerates." Weiss said with a bit of venom in her voice
"What's your problem?." Blake said with a slight hint of annoyance
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." Weiss said with more venom in her words
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus." with a calm yet still slightly annoyed tone
"Misguided? They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet." Weiss said confused at Blakes words
-"this is odd but Weiss please don't start a fight please."- Ruby thought as she watched the scene unfold
"Okay, so they are very misguided. Either way, it still doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale. Hm…" Blake said as she had a very good point
"Blake's got a point. Besides, the police never caught that Torchwick guy I ran into a few months back. Maybe it was him." Ruby said as she had to agree with Blake
"That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang is still a bunch of scum. Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal." Weiss said with venom in her words again
"hey what about velvet shes a faunus." Yang stated just trying to see what her deal was
"she is does not fall in that heading Yang you know that." Weiss said as she crossed her arms
"Hey, stop that Faunus!" someone yelled as the girls ran to see a guy with a monkey tail running then jumping off the ship and running a lamp post as they watch the scene unfold they see the two cops from before try to get him down one getting nailed with a banana peal and the faunus laugh as he jumps off and runs up and past the girls while he winks at Blake who is wide eyed at it
"Well Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, that there it goes." Yang said plainly
"Quick we have to observe him!" Weiss stated as they ran after him
Weiss being unlucky as she rounded the corner and ran into someone
"Oof!" Weiss looked up and saw the faunus jump away from the pursuit of the cops "No, he got away!"
"Uh… Weiss?" Yang said as she pointed to the knocked down girl in green
"Ah!" Weiss quickly got up as the girl waved to them
"Salutations." the girl plainly stated with a smile as the convo started off they introduced themselves
"Yes. My names Penny, it's a pleasure to meet you." Penny said with a smile
"Hi Penny, I'm Ruby." Ruby said with a smile
"I'm Weiss." Weiss said as she stood there
"Blake." Blake plainly stated
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" Yang said as she scratched her head as Blake bumped her side "Oh, I'm Yang." Yang finished talking "note to self try not to get on Blakes bad side and maybe talk to her later" she thought
"Well, sorry for running into you." Weiss said as they started to leave
"Take care, friend." Ruby said as they left
"she was... odd" Yang said as she kept walking
"Now, where did that Faunus riffraff run off too?" Weiss said as she was looking around as she stops with Penny in front of her
"What did you call me?" Penny asked
Weiss at this point was looking back and forth pointing at the two spots utterly dumb struck how she was so fast
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me." Yang said thinking she heard her
"No, not you." Penny said walked over to Ruby"You." Penny finished looking at Ruby
"Me? I… I don't know what I… I… Um…" Ruby was trying to form a sentence and think of what to say
"You called me friend, am I really your friend?" Penny said as she was getting a bit too close to Ruby as Weiss glared a bit at her
-"she really needs to back off before she gets my rapier up her ass and if she touches my Ro- WAIT what the Dust why am I thinking this!"- Weiss thought as she tried to avoid grabbing her weapon
"Um… Yeah sure, why not?" Ruby said as she just went along with it while her friends anime dropped to the ground out of simple shock as they were trying to say no in their own way
"Sensational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!" Penny said as she smiles
"Oh… Is this what it was like when you met me?" Ruby asked the others
"No, she seems far more coordinated." Weiss said -"but you were cuter CRAP need to stop these thoughts!"- Weiss thought as she tried to get ahold of herself
"So… What are you doing in Vale?" Yang asked wondering a little
"I'm here to fight in the tournament." Penny said
"Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?" Weiss said in slightly shocked again
"I'm combat ready!" Penny said with a quick salute
"Forgive me, but you hardly look the part." Weiss said with a slight dismissing tone
"Says the girl wearing a dress." Blake said a little with a sharp point
"It's a combat skirt!" Weiss shot back keeping her composer
"Yeah!" Ruby agreed with Weiss seeing as she was in one as well as they gave each other a low five witch inside she was blushing over a little -"why am i feeling like this? agh gotta figure this out"-
"Wait a minute. If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey tailed… rapscallion?" Weiss said with a bit of venom as she was a little too close for comfort to Penny in Ruby's eyes a little making her feel strange
"The… Who?" Penny said confused
"The filthy Faunus from the boat." Weiss said with a hint more venom
"Why do you keep saying that? Weiss" Blake said as she has had it with the words on the Faunus
"Huh?" Weiss was confused by Blake's words
"Stop calling him a rapscallion, stop calling him a degenerate, he's a person!" Blake said angry at Weiss
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can, or the lamp post as a lamp post?" Weiss said with sarcasm
"Stop it!" Blake said with a lot of anger
"Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time, he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang." Weiss said with a short of angered tone
Blake angered by it balling up one of her hands into a fist "Ugh, you ignorant little brat!" she said with anger as she turned away from Weiss and started walking
"How dare you talk to me like that! I'm your teammate!" Weiss said Offended a bit by that
"You are a judgmental little girl." Blake Stated annoyed
"What in the world makes you say that?" Weiss said angry at that remark
"To me, the fact that you would sort that boy with a terrorist group, solely based on his species, makes you as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be." Blake said right at Weiss while Yang scooted over closer to Ruby
"Uh I think we should go." Yang said next to Ruby -"I really hope this doesn't Hurt there friendship or Blake it Better not hurt Blake if Weiss wants to keep her pretty face intact"-
"Where are we going?" Penny said next to Ruby
"So you admit it, the White Fang is just a radical group of terrorist." Weiss said Even if it was not what Blake meant
"That's not what I meant and you know it." Blake said very angry at all this
**/**\**
as this went on they returned to beacon were this argument picked up back at there dorm witch many were staying clear of player just kept away hearing the arguing as did the others apart from one on the roof listening to the fighting unable to drown it out
"I don't understand why this is causing such a problem." Weiss said as she was confused and angry a bit at this
"That is the problem." Blake said knowing what the problem is
"You realize that you are defending an organization that hate humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are nothing but pure evil." Weiss said confused why Blake is Defending the White Fang
"There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate humanity so much?! It's because of people like Cardin, people like you that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!" Blake said with anger
"People like me?" Weiss said outraged by it
"You're discriminatory!" Blake said her voice raised in anger
"I'm a victim! You want to know why I hate the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. A war with an actual bloodshed. My Grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I could remember. And ever since I was a child, I watched family and friends disappear. Board members, executed. An entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day my father would come home furious. And that would make for a very difficult childhood!" Weiss said with anger hate and slight sadness as she slightly slammed her fist on the nightstand next to the window
as she said this Ruby walked over to her "Weiss, I…" Ruby started off only for Weiss to cut her off
"No! You want know why I despise the White Fang?! It's because they are a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!" Weiss said with pure hate and anger as she pretty much shouted the last words from her mouth
"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" Blake shouted out with nothing but anger for a few seconds as she realized what she just said "I-I…" Blake tried to say but ran quickly as she could out of the room
"Blake, wait! Come back!" Ruby said as she went to the door and stopped
"Weiss What the Fuck!" Yang shouted as she stood up flames forming around her as she has her right hand in a fist while also cursing for the first time out loud
"Yang calm down please! Calm down, I'm sure that She Didn't Mean to Offend her Or meaning She is a Liar, Thief, or Murderer." Ruby said in Weisses defense while trying to calm her sister down -"I know Weiss didn't mean to even think Blake is one.."-
"Oh she Meant it!, And I am Gonna Make her Fucking Regret IT, Or at The Very Least APOLOGIZE!" Yang shouted as well as yelling the last bit Flaming angry
"How the Hell would I have known SHE was in the White Fang or Was even a Faunus or whatever how was I to know YANG" Weiss shouted back at the fiery brawler
Yang calming down a bit getting her point the flames dying down through the chair kinda singed a bit "alright fine just... just at least apologize ok?" she finally said calmed down but not much -"Blake please be ok please come back... I... I do not want you to get lost out there... because of one mistake.."- Yang thought to herself hurting in her chest and upset that Blake ran off but not showing it due to wanting to talk to her herself alone
as they were still talking Blake ran till she was at the courtyard of beacon staring at the statue stopping there she stares at the statue as she reaches up and undoes her bow showing two cat ears and wiping away a few tears her eyes widen in surprise when she hears someone
"I knew you would look better without the bow!" The very same boy says to her as she turns around to see him
"he isn't the only one." Shadow said this time as he walked out from behind the statue "heard a lot of what happened Blake, and before you think it no I am not here to do anything more then see if you are alright with some company as far as it goes with me." Shadow finished as he walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder as she tried to back up a bit but stopped and looked at him
"who is this guy?" The boy asked confused
"names Shadow" Shadow said as he took his helmet off and looked at Blake with understanding and calming eyes "I am a friend of Blake's here and if she is alright with it I can tag along with her if she wishes to leave here for awhile" he finished with a calm and very meaningful tone
"Shadow you don't have to do that really it's-" Blake tried to say but was cut off by Shadow raising one finger up
"Blake think I know how to explain but I want to help you if you will let me ok?" Shadow said as she nodded and the three ended up talking a little then walked off
as the days went by the team grew worried and Cheppy wondered were the hell Shadow went off too as the girls went back into vale to try and find her
"She's been gone all weekend." Ruby said as she kept looking around
"I know rubes, I'm worried too" Yang said as she was growing more and more worried by the minute
"Blake's a big girl. I'm sure she can handle herself." Weiss said in a slight caring tone trying not to make things worse
"Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates And Friends." Yang said in a caring and calm tone
"Is she? We all heard what she said." Weiss said as she was walking
yang stops and turns to her looking Weiss right in the eyes with a stern look "DON'T even Weiss Blake's our friend our Teammate and I will NOT for one second think she is With them at all" Yang finishes as she turns and keeps walking
"I am just saying Yang from what she said last night A member of the White Fang, right under our noses! Whether she is or not I don't know but she at least confirmed that much" Weiss stated in a calm and collective tone
"look I agree but you still didn't have to say what you did then alright?!" Yang said in a very aggressive tone getting annoyed with what Weiss was saying -"Blake I know you are not with them I know it... please be alright.."-
"Weiss come on Blake's our friend if she was a white fang member wouldn't she have tried to kill you at some point or another when you two are alone?" Ruby pointed out as Weiss nodded agreeing with her -"Blake you and Shadow are missing and we gotta find you guys... please be alright"-
"yeah you got a point Ruby it's just hard let me think on this alright?" Weiss asked as Ruby nodded with a kind smile as Weiss turned her head away as a blush had crept up on her face as her heart starts racing "i really need to get this under control ok yeah she's cute and that I guess but why am I feeling like this and why is my heart racing?"-
"I just hope she's okay…" Ruby said slightly worried still showing as they kept walking
Ruby's hopes about Blake being fine are well placed as she and Shadow both are doing just fine
Shadow raises a cup of tea just relaxing near the two as the boy known as Sun Wukong across from Blake waiting to hear her speak after some time of talking mostly done even when they left by Shadow the boy may finally get his wish
"So… You want to know more about me." Blake Said as she put her cup on the table
"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks" Sun says as Blake just gives a annoyed look "Yeah, like that." Sun finishes
"Sun, are you familiar with the White Fang?." Blake asked slightly wondering
"Of course. I don't think there's not a Faunus on the planet that hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier than thou, creeps that use force to get whatever they want. A bunch of freaks if you ask me." Sun finishes
"I was once a member of the White Fang." Blake says calmly
-"freaks eh kid well looks like you just implied the wrong thing about Blake better hope she does not try to take your family jewels for that"- Shadow thought as he smirked a little
Sun coughs choking a little on his drink "Wait! You were a member of the White Fang?." He finishes
"That's right. I was a member for most of my life actually. You can almost say that I was born into it. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between the Faunus and humans. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to decimation and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. So, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people. And I was there, I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I always thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, our leaders stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader with new a way of thinking. Suddenly our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us. Hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals, but not out of respect. Out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. And instead, I would be dedicating my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am. A criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." Blake explained calmly as during it she looked up to it and wiggled her ears a little
"Blake have you told anyone else this before?" Shadow asked concerned for her
Blake just shook her head no
"I see personally it does not matter to me friends stick together you left the fang, Alright you made a choice to use your skills for good and that's good enough for me as it should for anyone else." Shadow said as he smiled at her
"What about your Friends Have you told Them any of this?" Sun asked as she again shook her head no and lowered it a bit
"When you want to tell them, I'll be there to help you out alright Blake?" Shadow offered as she smiled at that
**/**\**
"Blake!" Ruby yelled trying to find her
"Blake." Yang yelled out as well with more concern in her voice -"please Blake... come back..."- she silently thought
"Blake! Where are you?" Ruby yelled out trying to find her still
"Blake!" Yang yelled out again as she looks around trying to see if she's close but still nothing as she starts to get slightly worried and began thinking -"Blake oh god where are you Please I need to talk to you ... please come back.."- she thought to herself
"Weiss, you're not helping!" Ruby said slightly unhappy with Weiss
"Oh, you know who might be able to help? The police, they may be able to help us find her." Weiss said in an attempt to be helpful while trying to hide a blush from ruby -"why does she make me blush like this? oh man she looks cute right now."- Weiss thought to herself
"Weiss." Ruby said as she crossed her arms at her with a slight frown
"It was just an idea." Weiss said with a slight hint of shyness at rubys expressen
a hand grabs Weiss by the collar of her shirt and lifts her off the ground as a fiery red eyed blonde giving her a death glare with a growl "That kind of idea is not needed, Weiss you need to get your act together or." Yang pulls her closer and whispers "Blake will be the least of your worry's Weiss." she finished as she put her down with ruby getting between them to prevent any more possible damage
"I am sure she does not mean any harm Yang let's just find Blake ok?" Ruby said trying to calm things down as Yang nodes and starts walking and Ruby turns to Weiss "That may be a bad idea to bring up anything on that, I do not want to know what she could do to you." Ruby finished speaking as Weiss nodes -"plus I do not want you to turn from my Snowflake to a pool.."- Ruby secretly thought
"I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today." Penny complemented Weiss as the girls jump almost out of their skins
"Ah! Penny, where did you come from?!" Ruby said shocked surprised as she did not even see her approach at all
"Hey guys, what are you up to?" Penny Asked in a friendly tone
"Hu..." Ruby could not find the words for a few seconds till Yang spoke up
"We are looking for our friend, Blake." Yang said with a slight hint of concern and worry in her voice
"Oh, you mean the Faunus girl." Penny said now knowing what's going on
"Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby said confused a bit
"Um, the cat ears?" Penny said as she motion her hand to her head point out that Blake had cat ears
"What cat ears, she wears a bow…" Yang started to say as she slowed down and the realization dawned on her as a tumbleweed comes on by with the wind
Ruby whispers to Yang "She does like tuna a lot." she said
-"How did I not notice... and oh man I am gonna have a lot to make up for now but I know where to start a least."- Yang thought to herself
"So, where is she?" Penny asked slightly confused
"We don't know. She's been missing since Friday." Ruby said with worry in her voice
Penny having a small gasp goes over to Ruby "That's terrible. Well, don't you worry, Ruby my friend. I won't rest till we find your teammate."
"Ahem… That's really nice of you Penny. But, we-we're okay, really. Right guys?" Ruby said as she looks over to see Weiss and Yang gone -" am gonna get you two back for this..."' she silently thought to herself
"It sure is windy today." Penny said as the wind again blows a tumbleweed past them
**/**\**
while Ruby was plotting for how to get back at Weiss and Yang while looking for Blake Sun and Blake and Shadow were just wondering around a bit
"So, what's the plan now?" Sun asked as they were walking
Blake lets out a sigh "I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before." she finished looking at him a little
"What if they did? I mean, the only way to prove that they didn't do it is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there. Right?" Sun said trying to be helpful
"The only thing is, I have no idea where that would be." Blake said sadly
"Well, while I was on the ship, I heard a bunch of guys talking about unloading a huge shipment of Dust from Atlas." Sun said trying to be helpful
"How huge?" Blake asked knowing that it might be worth a look
"Hold on Blake I know what your thinking if it turns out they are behind this what do you plan to do?" Shadow said with a concerned voice there
"I guess I will know when I get there Shadow but I honestly don't know." Blake said unsure
"by the way it's Huge! Big Schnee company crater." Sun said confirming for her
"You sure?" Blake said as he nodded
"if we are going about this do you want me to bring some back up or just go with just us three?" Shadow asked as Blake looked at him
"no we can handle it Just us for now but keep it in mind if we need it alright?" Blake said as Shadow nodded
**/**\**
while they are preparing for some recon Weiss and Yang are still looking and having no luck so far
"Thanks anyways." Yang Sighs "This is hopeless." Yang looks around a little as dose Weiss "You really don't care if we find her, do you?." Yang asked as a slight hint of sorrow gets out which Weiss picks up on
"Don't be stupid, of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her." Weiss walks away from Yang a little bit "The innocent never run Yang. and I'm sorry for what I was implying but... I just am not sure about all this." Weiss finished as she looked at Yang with a caring look
"Apology Accepted but I am worried too... I... have a lot to talk to her on" Yang said as she looks down a bit
"You have feelings for her Don't you Yang." Weiss said as she was concerned for Yang a little bit
Yang sighs and looks at Weiss "yeah... I do... deep ones when she ran I felt my heart drop Weiss... I wanted to talk to her but the Argument you two had made things... harder to do... now she's missing... what am I to do Weiss..."
Weiss walks over and puts her right hand on Yangs shoulder "We'll find her and hope I am wrong on this then you and her will have a nice talk alone sound good?" Weiss said with a slight smile as Yang returns it and nodes
"thanks Weiss." Yang said as she smiles a bit more brightly
"Your welcome now let's find Blake get this straightened out so you can go and be happy." Weiss said as they walked off
**/**\**
"So, Blake is your friend?" Penny Asked trying to get a grasp on what happened
Ruby sighs "Yes Penny." Ruby replies feeling slightly annoyed -"how do I get back at Yang? Weiss would be easy but Yangs a different story."- She silently thought to herself
"But you're mad at her?" Penny Asked trying to get a grasp on what happened still
"Yes. W-Well, I'm not, Weiss is." Ruby tried to say getting things straight as she could
"Is she friends with Blake?" Penny asked thinking she might have a grasp on what happened
"Well, that's kind of up in the air right now." Ruby said truthfully
"But why?" Penny asked confused again
Ruby sighs "Well, you see, Blake might not be who we thought she was." She finished a little unsure herself
Penny gasps "Is she a man?" Penny finished shocked thinking Blake might be a guy
"No, no Penny. I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off." Ruby said just trying to keep it straight as she can still
"I don't have a lot of friends. But if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things." Penny said truthfully
"Me too…" Ruby said as they kept walking
**/**\**
while they kept walking and talking as night fell Blake shadow and sun were at the docks prepared for what they may face
as Blake watches the docks sun hops over next to her "Did I miss anything?" he said
"Not really, they've offloaded all the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there." Blake said calmly
"I don't like this something just feels off to me on this." Shadow said as he kept watching the crates
"I know shadow I feel it too." Blake said agreeing with him
"Yeah I know oh I stole you guys some food." Sun said offering the food
"Do you always break the law without a second thought?" Blake said giving him a deadpanned look
"kid you are crazy to do that a lot." Shadow said with the same look under his helmet
"Hey, weren't you in a cult or something? and you... I got nothing." Blake gives him a death glare "… Okay, too soon." Sun finishes saying
they soon hear the roaring of engines as they see some Bullheads flying over and landing on the docks and some men getting out of them as shadow gives it a deep look
"Oh no." Blake said as she looked on at them
"Is that Them?." Sun asked as he was confused
"Yes, it is them…" Blake said saddened as she saw their symbol on their backs
shadow listening through the transmitter he placed over there a while after they were unloaded hears one say to grabe the tow cables
"You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun said looking at her
"No, I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." Blake said as she looked down a bit
shadow looking on sees a human on one of them and opens it for them to hear "I think you two should hear this." Shadow said
"Hey! What's the hold up? We are not the exactly most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment. So, why don't you animals try to pick up the pace." the man in the bowlers hat said from down there
"This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human, especially not one like that." Blake said as she stands up and takes out her weapon
"Hey! What are you doing?" Sun asked as she took a few steps back and jumped off
"I hate where this is going" Shadow said as he followed her off quickly attaching his retractor cable and going to the ground and unhooking and following her in
as shadow followed he talked to her via hand signals saying he will cover her when she makes her move as he moves just to the other side to get a view on what he could taking the safety off his DC-15s Carbine
"No you idiot. This isn't a leash." The man said as Blake quickly gets behind him her sword at his throat "What the?!" he said surprised but then rolled his eyes when he figured it out "Oh for f-…" he started to say but was cut off
"Nobody move!" Blake said as she kept a hold on the man
"Whoa! Take it easy there little lady." The man said as he was just as calm as he could be
Blake takes off her bow "Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?" Blake said trying to get them to back off and tell her why
Shadow while they are distracted gets into a vantage point and takes aim and waits to see if things get any worse -"Blake you better know what your doing my first shots on the guy with the rifle."- Shadow thought to himself just trying to keep calm
"Oh kid, didn't you get the memo?" The man said with a sly grin
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked slightly confused
"The White Fang and I are going on a joined business venture together." The man said his grin growing bigger
-"I don't like this Blake please end him and we can fall back I should have called for back up Damn it!."- Shadow thought to himself as he kept his aim steady
"Tell me what it is, or I'll put an end to your little operation." Blake said as she was very annoyed and moved the sword closer to his throat
two bullheads came over as shadow hearing this knew this just got worse and hit a silent beacon on his belt calling for back up asap
"I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation." The man said as he looked up with a wide smirk
as the two circled and Blake was not sure what was going on the man in the bowlers hat moved his Kane a bit and it fired off a explosive knocking Blake back and causing smoke were Shadow loses his aim and trying to find a target so he can cover Blake but has trouble
while others saw the smoke and began moving their way post haste but as that was happening the man took aim and fired a few shots at Blake hitting a target or not Shadow had to fire as he took aim to try and hit he double checked to make sure his weapons safety was off and pulled the trigger only for it to jam and just fizzle a little bit and he looks at it with a ARE YOU FOR REAL face under his helmet and tries to unjam it cursing it under his breath
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty." the man said as he walked over only for a banana pile lands on his hat and he takes it off and looks up annoyed only for two feet of a monkey faunus landing on his head and rolls to a standing point
"Leave her alone." Sun said with a deadly tone as the guy stands up as more soldiers land next to the guy
"You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kid?" The guy said as the soldiers rush him as shadow finally unjamms his weapon and aims for the guy on the left and fires one round off and it nails the guy right in the chest sending him back as sun proceeds to work on the rest as shadow aims and fires one round just Singed the rim of the guys hat as he ducks a bit
"Woah where'd that come from?" The guy said as he ducked
-"time to meet your makers."- Shadow thought as sun proceeded to kick the crap out of the soldiers then pulling out a collapsible bo staff and finishes up and even blocks a incoming shot from the guy as Blake lands in front of Sun "He's mine!" She shouts as they rush him
Shadow keeping them covered taking down soldier after soldier sets his sights on a white fang soldier with a rifle and sends him off to meet his maker with a clean head shot and keeps hidden blending in with the shadows in his black armor and carbine as he keeps firing every so often he sees Blake fight and is shocked that the shadows themselves are aiding her when sun takes over with a pair of nunchucks that fire shotgun rounds he is even more surprised as his skill with them
as the fight goes on the guy is knocked back by Blake with a well placed hit with the blade but stands back up and shoots one of the cargo crates down as they bolt out of the way Sun rolls right into the guys Kane's aim and as Shadow takes aim they hear one person shout out "Hey!"
Shadow looked to see Ruby standing there with her weapon as he was speechless at its sheer size he saw the white fang soldiers regrouping and took aim only for him to hear the guy in the hat say "Oh, hello Red! Isn't it passed your bedtime?"
"Ruby, are these people your friends?" Penny said walking up to Ruby a little as she turns her head to her
"Penny, get back." Ruby said trying to keep her friend safe as the man took this chance scowled and aimed and fired his Kane hitting Ruby as Shadow watched on shocked by what he saw "Ah!" Ruby landed next to Penny and Shadow had one thought on his mind put that bastarded that shot her down
the man laughs at the shot as he then heard something and turned to see a man in full black armor jumping with these words "YOUR GONNA PAY."
Shadow landed and started unleashing hell as he fired his carbine right at the guy in the hat only for him to go for cover quickly
while Shadow was laying down the hate with his carbine Ruby sat up to see Penny walking to the edge of the building
"Penny, wait! Stop!" Ruby said not wanting her to get hurt
"Don't worry Ruby, I'm combat ready!" Penny said as her backpack opened up and several swords came out and she jumped into the fray seeing Shadow firing at the white fang thought he was friendly and decided to lend a hand clearing her landing zone she ends up getting the two to her sides as Shadow Downs the two charging her and goes up to her
"I'll watch your back you watch mine sound good?" Shadow said as he shoots another one and they go down
"Alright." Penny said as they proceeded to go to work with her kicking one he missed and throws her a ring of them knocking out at least ten of them
"Whoa!" Sun says as he gets clear of the fighting to avoid getting hit on accident as a white fang soldier falls next to him with a burn hole in his chest
Shadow still keeps blasting hoping back up would arrive soon but heard more bullheads approach them thinking they were transports how wrong he was soon as they opened fire he took cover behind something quick as he could "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" he yelled out of anger knowing he can't take that much fire power
Penny on the other hand seemed to be enjoying herself as two collapsible blades unfolded and shot out to the wall behind her and flew back past Shadow him just dumbfounded as he tried to lay down cover fire only to get stuck in cover and pinned down
once penny landed her swords folded and then formed a ball of energy which when she pushed her fists forward cut the two bullheads in half and Shadow aimed and fire taking out the falling ones with ending blows and then shoots one extra trying to flank Penny
while all this was going on Ruby was dumbstruck at how well it was going as she saw Penny pull a bullhead down with just her swords as Shadow and her had the same thought though Ruby spoke hers out loud of how was she doing that the man in the hat however got to a transport as Shadow saw him
"These kids just keep getting weirder. and you." the man pointed to Shadow as he was closing the door as Shadow took aim he flipped him off as the transport took off Shadow decided to put his weapon on safe as he looked around at the damage
Blake looked at the white fang soldiers on the ground and realized they were dead she looked and saw a lot of them were killed with burn holes on their faces or chests or anywhere they were hit
"Blake!" Sun ran over to her as she looked at him slightly horrified at it
"There dead..." she said not wanting them to have been killed
Sun seeing what she meant tried to lead them away from the bodies when Ruby ran over
"Blake your Ok." Ruby smiled only to see the look on her face and be slightly confused "What's wrong?.."
"Ruby these people there... Dead..." Blake said still horrified by all of it as Ruby's eyes widened at it
Shadow walked over to them with his weapon in his hands "You three alright and Ruby how did you survive that shot, and how did that guy survive Your Blade Blake?"
Blake in a fit of rage walks over takes his helmet off and smacks him "YOU KILLED THEM." she yells at Shadow as he is standing there confused
holding where he was smacked "Yes I did Blake it was you or them what do you think I would have chosen to let you get hurt or worse?!, I am Glad Ruby's alright as I am with you But as a soldier I will shoot if I have to you never said you wanted them stunned, if I had known I would have set my weapon to stun instead I thought you wanted them stopped." Shadow said in a calm voice but slightly hurt a little
"YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU COULD STUN WITH THOSE, HOW WAS I TO KNOW I DIDN'T WANT THIS A FIELD OF BODIES, I NEVER WANTED THAT YES I WANTED THEM STOPPED BUT NOT LIKE THIS, ... Now like me they won't have the choice, like I did..." Blake yelled then finishing off softly as she looks down sadly
"I thought Chappy told you girls, or at least Ruby for her to tell you all on... how was I to know?" Shadow said softly as he slowly puts his helmet back on -"I'm sorry Blake I never meant to upset you..."- he silently thought to himself
"I forgot... but I never knew it could do this... I mean Chappy said that our weapons could deflect Blaster bolts, but I hoped it never had to be done..." Ruby said sadly as she looked at the bodies then to Blake
"Hey we better head to the front Cops should be here soon." Sun said as the rest nodded and went to the front of the complex
as they waited for the police once they arrived they explain what they can with shadow explaining he is part of a force that just has been helping out they seemed to buy it as they sat down talking a bit
while they were Yang and Weiss start walking up as Ruby goes over and trying to explain for Blake "Look Weiss, it's not what you think. She explained the whole thing, you see she doesn't actually wear a bow, she has kitty ears and they are actually kind of cute." Ruby said as Weiss walks by and over to Blake
-"thanks Ruby"- Blake thought as she looks at Weiss "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-" She tries to say but gets cut off
"Stop. Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in the twelve hours I've decided, I don't care." Weiss said as she looked at her
"You don't care?" Blake said with a slightly raised eyebrow
"You said you not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss asks checking for sure
"No, I haven't been since I was younger." Blake said to Weiss
"I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that next time something this big comes up. You'll come to your teammates and not some… Someone else." Weiss said
"Of course." Blake said with a smile
"I hit my beacon to get support by chance did-" Shadow started to say but Saw Regs Six Shooter Hawk and Switchblade walk up
"Shadow the hell happened we got your beacon." Regs said
"long story." Shadow said
"Hey Blake can I talk to you for a minute?" Yang asks as she walks over- "Kitty eh well more fun for me and Her."- Yang thought
"sure Yang." Blake said as they walk over well away from everyone and around a corner
Shadow seeing it wonders and stands up "I'll be back." he starts walking over before Weiss stops him Regs walks over and asks her about the shipment if she knows if everything's in place
as shadow nears the corner he hears some giggling a little and stops and just listens for sure
"But yeah Blake for real I do really like you I mean like that couple in ninjas love you like so much we I guess could be like that shorta right?"
"Well I can have a new partner in my ninjas of love series to read with." Blake replied back in a seductive way
Yang biting her lip a bit with a perverted smile knowing her reply
Blake just smiles and gives Yang a kiss on the lips and giggles while Yang Just Returned the kiss and Giggled right back
Shadow seeing this and hearing that quietly backs away and walks away his head hung low -"so she liked Yang I guess I will keep my feeling to myself ... she still is pretty cute though."-
as he returned to the others six asked if he was alright and he replied back by waving him off with a smile as he took his helmet off Ruby points out that Penny is missing they return to beacon with Yang and Blake taking longer to enjoy themselves at a restaurant that is serving Salmon with a side of Tuna
