Chapter -IV- Timing Couldn't Be Better
The two teams spread out around the dark figure. "What do you want with Ruby?!" Yang shouted at the dark figure. "Ya and how do you even know her name?' Weiss asked. "Guys shouldn't we be asking the more obvious question here?" Blake asked the team. "Oh ya, who are you?" Yang asked the dark figure. Blake sighs as she nods her head. "Really? Who are you? That's what comes to mind when you see this thing? How about why does a human figure have a Grimm face? Or Why it has sword for instance." Blake asked as she glared at Yang. "Ya that. That's totally what I was going to ask next." Yang said. "Um guys how about we beat this freak six ways from Sunday so we can finish catching up." Jaune said in a confident tone. "Sorry girls I am of no use here. Without my weapon I cannot do a thing." Batholomew said in a sad tone. "It's alright doc. Take Juvia somewhere safe and we will meet you somewhere after we kick this guys ass alright? Take the back exit." Pyrrha said with a half smile on her face, as if she was sad to see her go but happy she will be safe. He runs over to Juvia and picks her up, they run out back as fast as possible. "Alright girls and Jaune, lets give it our all so we can get back to what this asshole interrupted!" Yang shouted. "Couldn't have said it better myself." Weiss said.
"Alright lets do this, on three, one!" Yang said. "Two!" Weiss added in. "Thr-" Blake tried to say but as she was about to fire, nothing. "Hey what happened Blake? Why did you stop?" Weiss asked in a concerned tone. Blake just stood there, motionless. Her vision blurred, she started hearing voices. Then closed her eyes, and when she opened them, there stood a familiar face, it was Ruby, but not the Ruby she is familiar with. She was young again, had her old scythe on her waist still. Her eyes widened, she ran over to her saying "Oh Ruby I'm glad you're here, we've missed you so much!" Blake said. "Who is we Blake?" The young Ruby asked. "I mean us. can't you see the-" She started to say as she turned around but what she saw was not her friends, but five strange dark figures standing where her friends were standing. "Blake can you defeat them? I'm not strong enough yet, will you protect me?" Young Ruby asked. Blake grips her handles. "Of course I will Ruby. You're my friend after all, and that's what friends do." Blake said as she turned around to face the dark figures but who are actually her friends. "Hey Blake what are you doing? Attack it already you're standing right next to it." Yang shouted. "Uh guys is it me or does Blake look like she is ready to...well attack us?" Jaune asked very confused. "Nope I see it to, but what I want to know is why she called that freak Ruby." Weiss said in an angry tone. "I don't know but get ready, here she comes!" Yang shouted.
"What did you do with my friends?!" Blake shouted as she darted towards them. She sliced and hacked at her friends. They dodged and weaved as she attacked them. "Guys I think this freak is controlling Blake and making you see Ruby." Pyrrha said "I'm on it!" Yang yelled as she swung her right arms towards the dark figure. A ball of light shot out of her Ember Celicas. Bam! The dark figure gets hit right in its head. It staggers and wobbles. As she swings her other arm towards the freak to try and hit it again a loud roar comes from the dark figure "AAAAHHHH!" It lifts its arms up and everyone stops. He raises his arms and everyone is lifted into the air. "I will ask one more time so listen closely in case your thick heads didn't hear me the first time. Where Is Ruby Rose?" It said with a crackly low pitched voice. "We would tell even we knew! You think we are going to roll on our friend just because you demand us to? Blake says as she struggles to get free from the mysterious force holding her in the air. "You leave me no choice." The dark figure says. It lifts its sword getting ready to swing sideways as if something is going to be released from it as it swings. He swings, a slashing sound fills the room. It stops mid swing. Click clack click clack, a walking sound covers the slashing sound. The sound of boots echo through the room. "Wow this place is a mess. Did we miss the food fight?" The familiar voice making the boot sounds said. The dark figure turns around to see a female figure standing on top the rubble wearing her knee high boots, black leggings, red cloak, with long black and red hair.
