Light of Hope Chapter 3
A/N: Yo what is going on people, here's another chapter but with a different character. The one thing I love about this series is the lore with the world, Dust, Grimm, Huntsmen, and many other aspects of this. This story was made after reading a lot of the theories made on here, so I plan on using them, if any were going to be in the next, that would be amazing. Hope you like it, enjoy!
"Ah"
Weiss screamed as she woke up from a bad nightmare.
She gripped onto her bedsheets as she looked around, noticing that she was alone in her room in the Schnee's Mansion in Atlas.
Looking around, she felt alone as there was no one around, no Ruby, Blake or Yang. Even though she didn't admit, last time she woke from a bad nightmare, Ruby and the others woke up and wondered what happened. Weiss quickly acted like nothing happened and told them to get back into bed.
'It's much different now' she thought to herself as she laid back and fell asleep.
"HA…HYA"
Weiss was saying as she was practicing her moves in the grand hall, she was using her personal rapier, Myrtenaster. She knew how to fight as she was trained but she was trying to clear her mind, as she hated her conversation with her father.
He didn't like how there was this large of an incident where their armies were aiming on the citizens and many people were hurt, some possible killed. He demanded that she would finish her studies at Atlas Academy.
The more she though of the conversation, the more aggressive her attack style was.
Once her targets were all destroyed, she formed the summoning glyph behind her again, she remembered how she wanted to protect Velvet. She was fuming with rage, as she seen one robot coming towards her, she pointed at it and swiped downwards.
-THUD-
The ground shook as she seen a large light blue energy great-sword slam onto the ground, destroying the foe and cracking the marble floors.
She was exhaling as she looked back to see her summon, as it still had its arm formed, but it also formed a shoulder, showing that she's getting closer to summoning it completely.
-Clap-Clap-
Weiss looked back to see Winter clapping her hands, she was happy that she's showing progress.
"Good job Weiss, it looks like you have improved the last time we met."
"Thanks…" Weiss said as she didn't want to talk.
Winter noticed something was wrong with her sister, "What's wrong?"
Weiss quickly turned around and wanted to train some more, "Nothing's wrong, I mean why is nothing wrong right now, father finally got what he wanted."
"I see…" Winter said as she walked up to her sister, she pulled out her rapier and prepared for battle, "Why don't we have a duel?"
"What?" Weiss said as she looked back, shocked that she was challenged by Winter.
"If I win, you tell me what's going on, deal?"
Seeing her sister being serious, she knew she had to, so she stood straight and with her rapier, she lightly tapped her opponent's.
They jumped a step back as winter went aggressive and made a serious of quick jabs to test Weiss, but as expected Weiss either blocked the attacks or moved out of the way.
Weiss tried to make a frontal attack by slamming her blade onto her opponent's head but Winter blocked the attack, stopping her completely, "Is it because of Father?"
Weiss backed up and went with a series of attacks with pokes, jabs and slices towards her opponent.
Winter noticed that she's getting more aggressive as she mentioned their father,so she's starting to piece it together, "Is it because he made you leave Vale?"
Weiss grunted as she was getting closer, so she spun around, stabbing her Myrtenaster into the ground, causing the ice to shoot out, freezing Winter's feet onto the ground.
"I see…" Winter used her summoning glyph to summon the Beowulf to break the ice around her. She stepped out of her ice restraints as she let the summon charge towards her.
Weiss tried to attack it but the Beowulf dashed out of the attack, using its claws to tear into the Atlas uniform, destroying the arm section of clothing.
Weiss backed up as she had to decide which course of action to take, the Grimm… or her sister, though she's not experienced with it she had to use her summoning again.
Winter seen that the glyph appeared behind her, so she dashed towards her sister, knocking the blade out of her hand, and knocked her down, disabling the summoning.
"It appears that I won"
"Whatever" Weiss said as she got back up.
"Now you will tell me everything" Winter said as she put her sword away and crossed her arms, "we still have a deal."
"Fine! The reason why is that I actually never liked it here!" Weiss exclaimed as she was furious.
"So it was that talk with father, as he wanted you to leave Beacon, it was too dangerous there because of the attacks?"
Weiss simply nodded, "Yeah…"
"But it feels like this isn't all, as I suspect, you like your team?"
"Yeah, they're not like the servants here, team RWBY was something much different. They're the closest I ever had people I could call friends. Why doesn't he see that?"
The older sister knew what she was talking about, as their father wanted to see progress instead of personal connection.
Quickly, as she's her current ranking in the Atlasian Army, she has access to certain facilities, "I have an idea for one of your friends, Yang right?"
"Yeah, what do you have planned?" Weiss wondered what she thought about.
"We're going to see Dr. Polendina."
"Penny's father?" Weiss never met the man before but she heard of his work, working with the Atlasian Knights and Paladins, but the Penny project was something not many people knew about.
"Yes, but you should change, it's not proper to have a large tear like that" she pointed at her arm.
"Right" Weiss quickly ran towards her room to change into her regular combat skirt.
Once she came back, Winter was waiting near the training area.
"Sorry I'm late" Weiss said in a dignified manor.
"Don't worry about it, we won't alert father either, as he always want to control everything" Winter walked out the door, leading to their garage.
Weiss got into the passenger seat while Winter started her car and drove out, going towards the facility.
With a swipe of a card, the doors in front of the sisters opened up, showing Weiss for the first time.
Winter decided to show her the shortcut to his office, which was on the top floor.
"How do you have access to this building?"
Winter silently chuckled as she kept on walking, "If you do pass with high honors with Atlas Academy, you will have a good spot with the military. I'm with a special unit, but the rest is classified."
Weiss didn't want to question it, as Winter has her reasons, but she wondered about something, why did they want to meet the father to Penny.
The elevator doors opened as they walked over to the large set of doors, leading to the man they wanted to speak to.
"Oh hello Ms Schnee" A secretary said as she bowed her head down.
"Is Mr. Polendina here?"
"Yes, he should be in his office right now" The secretary got up from her seat and led them to the double doors and opened it for them.
They walked in as the doors closed behind them, where they seen a large desk ahead of them, with a tanned skin man was working on something.
"Ah welcome Winter, what brings you in today?" he said as he moved the projects he was working on lately, for security purposes.
"Nothing much, but I may need a favor to ask for" Winter said as she sounded when Ruby first met her.
"What's the favor?"
"We need a robotic right arm for a friend who recently lost her's"
Weiss was shocked to hear Winter say that, "Wait, you're serious?"
Winter nodded at her sister as she wanted to explain, "She lost her arm past her elbow from battle recently, that's why I came here today."
Mr. Polendina contemplated this for a few seconds, "I'll do it, but I will need to know a few things to make the right parts for her, so I'll need you to bring her in."
His computer started up, showing dozens of holograms of robotic parts, and the diagrams of piecing them together.
Weiss watched as Winter examined the same diagrams, with the older sister nodding, "Thank you, we'll be back in a few days time."
They walked out with the designer laughing, "Take care ladies."
"Thank you so much Winter" Weiss smiled as she was happy that they were going to help their friend.
"You don't need to thank me just yet, we still have to find a way to bring her into Atlas, you know it isn't easy to bring in a person and fit them with our technology"
"Ohh…" Weiss looked away as she was right, they have strict laws, as the military's laws were placed in different timelines after the war.
"But it isn't going to be difficult, we may just have to 'borrow' the family plane" Though Winter was a perfect person in the eyes of the law, she would always help her little sister out, even if it breaks a few laws.
"Wow, you never acted this way before?" Weiss asked as this was the first time she would cast aside the laws of Atlas.
"I never seen you this happy before," Winter also never seen Weiss this sad after being away from Vale, as she never had anyone to call a friend.
"Right, well what are we waiting for?" Weiss said as they were entering the car.
"We have find a way to take the plane without father noticing" Winter wondered when would be a good plan.
"Why don't we take it tonight?" Weiss suggested.
"Tonight?"
Weiss nodded, "Yeah, you know father's a heavy sleeper, he wouldn't notice. All we have to tell the servants that we're on official business."
"Good thinking" Winter smiled as she was happy to see Weiss thinking out of the box.
"Thanks"
Weiss opened her eyes as the clock stuck midnight, she threw her covers off, revealing that she was already dressed. She got out of her bed, grabbing her bag with dust crystals and her rapier.
Upon leaving the house, she's going with the plan alone, as Winter is still needed here.
Thankfully the staff would help out by taking her to Vale, and they promised to not say a thing to father as well.
They quickly brought the young heiress to the airport so she could use the private jet.
She got out of the limo as she waved at them, as she knew that she could get into some serious trouble if she gets caught.
"Where would you like to go Ms. Schnee?" the pilot asked as he was secretly wondering why she had to go in the middle of the night.
"I need to go to Vale to find someone" Weiss simply said without implying anything personal.
"…OK" the pilot closed the door and had the plane prepared for take-off.
Weiss smiled as the plane got enough speed as it left the ground, and making its flight towards Vale, as she's trying to get team RWBY back together, and show her father that she belongs at Beacon.
A/N: And that's the end of chapter 3 folks. It was fun making this chapter, we don't know if Winter breaks the rules, as she barely had enough screen time, I hope season 4 has some more character development in it so we could find out more about the characters.
Remember to leave a review, and following/favoriting this story will help out, if you have a suggestion, that would be nice to see and until next time, see you later.
