Chapter 3
BLAKE
Blake sat on her bed in her dorm reading, it had been a while since she was able to do this without any disruption, like when Ruby or Yang acted immature just so they could wind up Weiss even though Ruby always apologised, Yang seemed to always want to make the situation worse.
Blake couldn't help but laugh at the thought, the last time Yang came in after a night out in town Weiss scolded the blonde for waking up the whole team, the brawler ended up sleeping in team JNPR dorm that night. Both teams were not happy with the blonde that night, even Ren who normally laid back about these things said something like "She your teammate why did we get stuck with her", now that breakfast the next morning was full of tension directed at the blonde who seemed to be oblivious to it. Blake couldn't help wonder how Yang managed to get into all those night clubs.
Her mind drifted off to the past year and she started to think about how far she had come and the friends she had made. Her life at beacon was so different from the life she had in the white fang. she couldn't even trust anybody. It had been an organisation filled with good intentions but like everything else it had become corrupted by those who only wanted power not just equality, those who wanted chaos not piece. Those who wanted to wipe away those who did them wrong and in their mind that was everybody. She had now found people she felt safe with and she would do anything to protect them.
Her scroll rang taking her out of her thoughts, on the scroll showed a picture of Weiss "Hello", she answered not sure why the heiress would call her.
"BLAKE, GET TO INFIRMARY NOW", the girl shouted in a panic.
"Wait calm down, explain what is wrong?" Blake shot up as soon as she heard infirmary.
"I will tell you when you get here, now get down here", and with that the white haired girl hung up, Blake was already out the door.
BLAKE AND WIESS
Blake had arrived at the infirmary in no time, the first thing she saw was Ruby in a hospital bed and Weiss sitting next to her looking rather depressed. Seeing Blake she gestured for the Faunus to sit down next to her and started to explain without any other word to greet the girl.
"And that is what happened", she clenched her fist as she look down "I wasn't able to do anything, I just watched him leave like a weak child."
"Weiss it's not your fault, you did what you had to do and what was best for Ruby", the raven haired girl put a hand on top of her teammate's hand. She remembered the day before Yang had got herself into a fight before they went to the docks "Do you remember what he looked like?"
"I know it not my fault", she snapped at the faunas throwing her hand up in the air knocking the other girl's hand off "it's that oaf of a sister of hers who is to blame, this wouldn't of happened if she just stop picking fight with everybody who encourages her to throw a punch", Blake was about to interrupt her but Weiss continued "And of course I do, in fact I've got one better", pulling out her scroll showing Blake a photo, she tried to remember if she recognised him from the day before. But she knew he wasn't there straight away. "He just kept on saying she bet up his men or something like that."
"Maybe", Weiss folded her arms waiting for the Faunus to continue "Yang was in a fight yesterday with a group of men, it might have something to do with that."
"You weren't even away that long and she managed to get herself into a fight, was there a reason for the fight this time", Blake sighed.
"Look I don't know the details she just said they were looking for trouble."
"And she had to be the one who gave them it, right?", Blake stood up and walked to the window that was in the room.
"It doesn't matter right now; we will just need to wait until Ruby wakes up before we decide the course of action. Until then we won't tell Yang the full story of why this has happened, Okay?" Weiss just huffed "Weiss please, you know how she will react she won't think about her action", Weiss finally agreed with no more argument about it.
YANG
The Blonde sat in a half filled class with other people who got themselves detention, slouching on her chair, her hands on her head with her feet on the desk.
The sound of heals hitting the floor echoed through the class, Yang ignored the sound knowing who the sound belong to. The sound stopped directly at her desk before a clearing of the person throat. "What up Goodwhich?", she asked cheerfully.
"Could you step outside for a moment?."
"You finally admitting you were wrong for putting me in here?", she gave the teacher a smile but it faded when she saw that the women in front of her seemed more serious than normal, Getting up off her seat she followed the huntress out of the room.
As they left the class Goodwhich closed the door behind them. "It's your sister."
Infirmary
The girls sat in silence occasional glancing at the unconscious body in front of them. The silence was broken when they heard an angry voice which they were all too familiar with demanding people to get out of her way; Blake was so sure she heard someone being knocked down in the path of a certain blonde. The two teammates looked at each other as she crashed in. Her eyes scarlet as she eyed up the room, walking over to her sister bed side.
"Yang breath for a second, she going to be fine she just unconscious right now", Blake shot up putting her hands in the air in defence. While Weiss just glared at Yang not hiding any hint of annoyance.
"What happened? Who done this?", Blake avoided eye contact while Weiss folded her arms "Will someone tell me what is going on", she shouted at them making the two jump. Blake let out a sigh.
"We're not sure of the full story", she picked up Weiss's scroll "but Weiss got there just in time and manage to get a picture, do you recognise him?". Yang grabbed the scroll studying the man on front.
"No, I've never seen him before", she turned to the heiress "so you manged to get a photo but you didn't bother going after the man who put her in here", she barged past Blake who was standing in the middle of them. "That's just like you, too afraid to act on your own." The taller girl looked down on her teammate who was now standing up.
"Excuse me, I don't need to explain myself to you", Yang put her hand on Weiss, gabbing her collar, Blake covered Yang's hand with her own two, trying to pry the two away from each other.
"Your useless, you watched the man who hurt you leader walk away and you sat and done nothing", her gripped tightened "you really need to get your priority straight, princess."
"Excuse me, would you rather have me leave your sister lying on the ground while I fight someone unknown to us and she could be attacked by anything, well next time I'll keep that in mind", Blake finally got between the two "after all that solves everything for you doesn't it?."
"What is that supposed to mean?", Blake put her hand on each girls chest.
"Weiss don't", Blake looked at her with pleading eyes.
"No let her talk", Yang pushed Blake to the side causing the girl to trip over her feet falling to the ground.
"See this is what I mean, stuff like this", Weiss pointed at Blake "you do stuff without thinking. That's why your sister ended up in that bed, the guy that put her there was wanting to get back at you, after you bet up his men.", she looked at her sister stunned.
"Weiss", Blake shouted but the white haired girl didn't react to the shout from her teammate on the ground. Her eyes fixated on the blonde in front. Blake held her breath expecting the worse but she was to surprise to see Yang grabbing Weiss's scroll and stamping out of the room. "Weiss why did you say that?, You know what she going to do now", the heiress helped the Faunus up.
"What? You saw the way she attacked me", Blake couldn't argue with her it was true "she'll be fine, let's just focus on Ruby."
Yang
Yang pulled up outside of a club with her motorbike bumblebee, her temper was still as bad as when she left beacon. Walking to the doors of the closed club she shot the doors open walking in. Not acting her usual playful self, but as someone who wanted answers. Hearing the explosion the men inside stopped what they were doing to see Yang enter.
"Come on blondie, we've discussed this", Junior shouted to her behind the bar. Junior saw that the young girl had walked in without her cheerful smile "what you're not going to ask for a sunrise?", he teased as she walked to the bar, slamming the palm of her hand on top of the bar.
"I don't have time for this", she grabbed his neck tie pulling him closer to her, almost pulling him over the bar that separated them "I want information on this guy and where will I find him?", shoving the scroll in man's face, before letting him go. He straightened his tie before taking a better look at the picture. His eyes widened slamming the scroll on the desk.
"Wow Blondie are you crazy? What did he do to tick you off? ", she folding her arms refusing to answer him "look kid, I'm not giving you anything on him."
Yang quickly glanced at the Malachite twins, watching the two sisters' whisper to each other before watching Melanie walk away leaving Miltia by herself. She ignored the two focusing on the task at hand.
"Why not?, it not like it has anything to do with you?", junior sighed knowing this wouldn't be easy to get her to leave. "If you're not going to help me when I ask first time, I'll just have to do something about that?". She raised her wrist and pointed at the DJ box, activating her weapon "it would be easier if you just told me", she smiled for the first time since she had walked into the club trying to make it seem like her normal threating self.
"Go ahead blow up as much as you want if it mean getting this idea out of your head", they both glared at each other "Look I'm not going to say anything, the guy you're after", he picked up the scroll pointing at the man in front "this man is a monster we've been at each other's throats for years, it used to be harmless competition when he first started out but as his name grew he became more violent and not that long after that he messed up a lot of my men for just walking in town, this guy won't give a second thought about killing and I'm not going to be blamed for a kids death."
"Whatever, I'll find out without your help", she turned to walk away "and I won't hesitate about taking his life.", junior looked down at the top of his bar before he noticed the scroll, picking it up he went to call out but she was already gone. He just placed it behind the bar.
Yang walked outside standing next to her bike thinking about her next plan of action. She heard foot steps behind her quickly turning round; she knew she couldn't be more than carful in this part of town. Turning to face Melanie juniors body guard "What do you want?", she spoke putting on her helmet.
"I thought you might want the information you were asking for", this spiked Yang's interest.
"Why would you help me out?", Yang eyed the girl in front of her.
"If you get rid of him then that means we won't have to deal with anymore of our men getting randomly attacked, you know it a win win for both of us. I don't really care why you're doing it but you could be a help for once. Junior doesn't allow us to fight him no matter what he does." She moved forward handing Yang a pace of paper. "He goes by the name of Jake, right now his operation are down at abandoned warehouse at the docks. But I will warn you his gang is heavily armed". Yang took the paper from her looking at it, it showed the direction to the warehouse.
"Thanks, I owe you one", Yang called out as she got on her bike.
DOCKS
It was late Yang had been searching for information since she had left Beacon. She arrived at the docks, scanning around outside the warehouse but nobody was around "if this is heavily armed base, doesn't seem like anyone ever told these guys that", she walked through the doors to see the guns were already being pointed at her, she recognised the uniform it was the same as the guys she had bet up the day before", she activated her weapons.
"Look who it is?", a voice came from the crowd she looked around before she spotted the culprit, it was the guy from yesterday the one who seemed to be leading the gang. She was ready to attack him but stopped when she saw the guns ready to shoot if she moved any further. "Haha the boss was right she did show up without much effort, Hey how's that sister of yours?", he laughed as she clenched her fist.
"Shut your mouth, was it you who attacked her?", the man just laughed.
"No this time it wasn't me, the boss went out personally for a visit."
"So my problem is not with you guys it's with him now get out of my way."
"Not going to happen, either disarm yourself and come without incident then you might have a chance to see him, after we're done with you", Yang clenched her teeth, Before she decided to fire a shot into the middle of the group, causing a good few of them to be hit by the explosion. As she continued her assault she heard a shot come from behind her, turning in time to see the shooter.
She felt pain shooting up her right arm as the bullet struck her arm just before Ember Celica starts. With everything she had felt today the anger, the frustration, and pain of realising she had put Ruby in danger again and the hatred she had for herself. This bullet was the last straw; she was able to activate her semblance. Her eyes became a bright crissum colour, her hair glowed as she smashed her fists together, running after the shooter punching him in the face as hard as she could, knocking him out with one punch.
She aimed at the biggest group shooting them before following that up with punches to those who took aim when her back was turned. A lot of the men were already knocked out but Yang also had a lot of damage herself, her semblance allowing her to ignore the pain. She walked towards the man who was laying on the ground, the man from the day before. "Now tell me where is he?," he just smiled "what are you smiling at?", he pointed behind her. She turned to where he was pointing and there was the man she had been looking for all day "you", she growled. Leaping forward but as she did his eyes glowed.
She stopped and fell to her knees her hair dimed, her energy draining, her eye going back to lilac. She felt the pain of every moment she made. The bullet wound was unbelievable she had never felt this type of pain in a long time. Yang grabbed the bullet wound. She felt herself start to get exhausted, "my semblance, what is happening?", she gritted her teeth as she started to breath heavily `I can actually feel my aura going down, but why`. She tried to force herself up shaking legs giving in before she even started.
"What's wrong? I thought you wanted to see me", the man walked towards her kneeling down in front of her. She glared at him as he smirks at her in her weak state.
"You are just all talk aren't you? A little girl who spoke too much and did so little, isn't that right?", she didn't look away as she cupped her chin between his finger.
"I'll show you who is all talk", she moved her face away from him before she pushed herself of the ground trying to take her chance to take him while he was so close to her. But as she flung herself at him using her left hand to try and punch him, but with her wounds slowing her down, gave him time to move out of the way before she was able to do anything, missing her target falling flat on her stomach.
"Oh yeah that showed me", he teased now standing over her, she tried to push herself up off the ground, as she did this Jake brought his heavy boot down on the girl's right arm, she bit back a scream as he put his weight on the injured arm, clenching her teeth as she realized that this man was enjoying this. "You are an entertaining one aren't you?, just like your sister", Yang tried to move under the weight of him but failed.
"Your…", she struggled but with every attempt she felt weaker "what did you do?, why am I feeling like this?", she didn't want to admit it but panic was building up inside her. Her semblance was gone, her aura was about to run out and she knew there wasn't much else she could do. `Damn I've messed up this time, this is embarrassing`, and she looked at him waiting for his next move.
"That can wait for later, right now we have to keep an appointment", and with that all Yang could remember was being struck in the head, Falling into darkness.
