RWBY Volume 6 Chapter 4

Guess Who's Back

HALLWAY

Weiss, after leaving her medical room, walks down the hallway, towards her room, when she stops at JNPR's door. Knocking on it, she hears a groan, and proceeds to open the door. Inside, she sees Nora sitting on the side of her bed, looking at the floor. When she hears the door close, Nora turns and looks at Weiss.

"Hey." Nora weakly says.

"Hey." Weiss says back. "Sorry for entering. But, Ren wanted me to check up on you. How are you feeling?"

"...A little better." Nora answered.

Weiss the walks to the bed, across from Nora, and sits down on it.

"Nora." She said. "Ren told me, about what happened to you. And about...your past."

Nora, though surprised, just lowers her head down.

"It was bound to happen. I just wish, it didn't happen, today." Nora stares at the floor for a few seconds, before looking back at Weiss. "Did Ren and the others leave yet?"

Weiss nods. "No. But, they will be, in ten minutes. And the landing pad. They should be there, there."

"Thanks." Nora said, before standing up.

Weiss watches as Nora grab Magnhild.

"What are you doing?"

Nora looks at Weiss. "Can't do anything, by staying here. I'm going to join them, in helping the injured."

As Nora heads for the door, she stops before she opens it.

"The training room, will be empty." She said. "Should be perfect timing, Weiss."

Nora then leaves the room, and leaving the door open. Weiss stands up and follows suit, closing the door, and walking the opposite direction of Nora. She then opens the door, to her room. Locking it, she proceeds to her wardrobe, and opens it. But, instead of opening the elevator door, she instead grabs a long box and places it on her bed.

Weiss sighs and opens the top of the box. She stares at the rapier, she once used for battle. Myrtenaster rests in it's slot, with several Dust vials strapped as well. Weiss slowly reaches for her weapon. And though hesitant, she grips the hilt, and she lifts Myrtenaster up. Staring at the blade, a smile begins to form on her face.

LANDING PAD

"Absolutely not!" Ren exclaims to Nora, who caught up with him and the others.

"You cannot stop me, Ren." Nora said, her arms crossed.

"You should be resting."

"I can't just stay here, and do nothing!" Nora exclaims. "I want to help. And I'm going to."

Before Ren could talk again, he is interrupted by the sound of a throat clearing. He and Nora turn and sees Ruby.

"If Nora wants to help out, then she can come along." She said. "But, you need to keep an eye on her, Ren."

Ren sighs and nods. "Okay, then." He turns to Nora. "Just stay close to me."

Nora slightly smiles. "Of course."

The three join everyone else, and walk inside the airship. As they sit down, Pyrrha raises her hand and makes a fireball. Jaune, sitting next to her, sees the worried look on her face.

"You okay, Pyrrha?" He asked.

Pyrrha quickly looks at Jaune. "Oh. Yeah. Just a bit nervous, that's all."

"Why would you be nervous?" Jaune asked.

"...Well...the people of Atlas are still getting used to seeing me again. I was quite popular here, back in the day. And in addition, with me being a Maiden they are suspicious."

"I...guess, that's understandable." Jaune said.

"...Yeah." Pyrrha said, slowly remembering the day, she became a Maiden.

MONTHS AGO - COURTYARD

Pyrrha, along with her team, stand at the courtyard of Alpha Base. Pyrrha is acting a little nervous.

"Pyrrha."

She turns and sees Jaune approaching her.

"Are you sure, you want to do this?"

Pyrrha slowly nods. "I'm sure, Jaune. If Ruby believes I could, then I'll take her word."

Pyrrha and Jaune then turn to see Ruby, Yang and Blake walking towards them. Behind them are Ironwood, Qrow, and Wesley.

"I'll be okay, Jaune." Pyrrha said. "Trust me."

Jaune nods and backs away, to join Ren and Nora. Fenrir sits next to Jaune's foot.

Ruby walks faster and stops a foot away from Pyrrha.

"Hey, Ruby." Pyrrha said. "Weiss doing okay?"

"Yeah." Ruby said. "Ironwood gave her a prosthetic leg. She wanted to be here, to watch. But, I told her to rest."

Ruby looks down and looks at her own prosthetic. Her red robotic foot. She turns around and looks at Yang's robotic arm. And then she looks at Blake.

"At least Blake doesn't have the burden of having one, like us."

Ruby then turns back to Pyrrha and continues.

"Alright. It's time, I guess. Pyrrha. I'm not going to lie. The process of taking a Maiden's power was easy. But to transfer it...it's entire different."

"Different...how?" Pyrrha asked.

"It could be painful. For the both of us. Very painful. And in addition, you will experience some of my memories. Random ones, too."

Pyrrha smiles. "Worried, I might peek in, what you and Weiss do, in private?"

Ruby is surprised. "N...no! Of course not!"

Pyrrha giggles. "I was just joking, Ruby." Her smile fades, quickly. "Is there anything else, I should be aware of?"

"Yes." Ruby answered. "Once you've gained the Fall Maiden's powers, you will be granted the ability to take another's away, as a last resort. But, with all the Maidens, on our side...let's hope it doesn't have to go that way. So, anyways. Shortly after the transfer, Crystal, Terra, and I will help you with anything you want to know. All you have to do, is simply ask. Now. Are you ready?"

Pyrrha looks at her team, who bear worried looks. "Yes. I am."

"Okay." Ruby said, nods. She looks at Ironwood, who nods. Ruby then raises her hand. "Kneel down."

Pyrrha then kneels down, one knee on the ground. Ruby the places her hand on Pyrrha's head and closes her eyes.

"This will not be easy, Pyrrha." Ruby said. "Having a Maiden's powers bears a big and dangerous responsibility. But, only you can choose the path, you wish to pursuit. Much like, what I did, when I took my responsibilities."

"I understand." Pyrrha said. "Do it."

After a few seconds of silence, Ruby gasps, and her eyes opens, glowing outwardly. Her orange glow slowly turns to white, as an orange glow surrounds her. The glow slowly moves from Ruby and onto Pyrrha. As everyone watches in amazement, Pyrrha's eyes open wide, and they glow orange, outwardly.

Pyrrha the begins to experience the memories. She sees Ruby hovering over the White Fang camp. Then sees Taiyang, being killed by Cinder. Then there's the memory of Ruby crying over Ozpin's body. Next, Pyrrha sees Ruby witnessing the explosion that blew up the courthouse in Vale. Then seeing Ruby screaming over her lost foot. Then finally, witnessing Torchwick executing both Violet and Coco.

Ruby then releases Pyrrha, and falls to the ground. Pyrrha follows suit, and begins to yell, her eyes still glowing. She then raises her hand, see fire expel from it. Shaking, she attempt to stand up and manages to. Ruby does the same thing. Upon seeing Pyrrha, she walks to her. Pyrrha's shaking slowly subsides, and her eyes stop glowing, and the fire dissapears from her hand.

"The transfer went good." Ruby said. "Was expecting something worse. But, I'm glad it went well. Pyrrha. You are now the Fall Maiden."

Ruby and Pyrrha turn and they see Crystal landing next to them The ground then opens up, and Terra leaps out and lands.

"Well...it appears that we now have all 4 Maidens." Terra said, smiling.

"I sensed it, too." Crystal said. "It seems Miss Nikos agreed to be Fall."

"Sense?" Pyrrha asked, confused.

"Right. I forgot." Ruby said. "As a Maiden, you also have the ability to sense other Maidens, no matter where in Remnant, they are."

"That way, we know, if a Maiden is either in trouble...or if she is dead." Crystal said. "When Amber died, we both felt that. So, if any of us gets killed, or hurt...you'll feel it, Miss Nikos."

"I...guess that's reassuring." Pyrrha said.

"But, look on the bright side." Terra said. "You can fly! Unlike me. I'm all about the traveling underground."

Pyrrha smiles. "Flying. I suppose that's good."

PRESENT DAY - ATLAS

Pyrrha stares at the people, who are injured, sitting on the sidewalk. Soldiers are helping those, who can't walk. They also hand the injured, some water and other beverages.

"We never knew this was going to happen."

Pyrrha turns and sees Ruby, who looks at the ground.

"We never even knew, what Torchwick did. Finding that dreadnought. And using it, to destroy a whole city."

"...None of us knew, what was going to happen, Ruby." Pyrrha said. "For all we know, he may have found it, during the last few months. But, we don't know."

Ruby looks at Pyrrha. "And that scares me. What else could did they find, that can ensure destruction?"

Pyrrha then says nothing, and just sees Jaune helping a civilian, to her feet.

"He still faring well?" Ruby asked.

"Now and then." Pyrrha answered. "He's moved on. But, he still thinks about her."

"...Neo." Ruby said.

"Yeah. I see him, carrying that umbrella, she used to have, sometimes. And occasionally, he speaks to Neo, as if she's in the room."

Ruby sighs. "And Cinder is still out there. And he's angry at her."

Pyrrha looks at Ruby, with a concerned look.

"Cinder killed Neo. She killed Jaune's parents. And then Sapphire. Jaune wants revenge. But, for some reason, he won't pursue it."

"...Maybe it's because, he knows that he would be changed, if he did." Pyrrha said, looking back at Jaune. "Though...I am afraid for him."

"And that's why, you're going to do whatever you can, to help him out." Ruby said. "You care about him. Very much."

"...Yeah."

Jaune then runs to them, and catches his breath, before speaking.

"I'm going a few blocks, north of here." He said. "Pyrrha. Come with me."

Pyrrha nods, and she follows Jaune, where they meet with Ren and Nora, and they all run down the road. Ruby sees Yang and Blake approaching her.

"Just talked to Ironwood, a minute ago." Yang said. "Said that there's an area, that we should check."

Yang then gets out her Scroll, and shows the coordinates to Ruby.

"That's where JNPR's heading." Ruby said. "We should catch up with them."

The trio then begin running towards the direction, Team JNPR ran.

TRAINING ROOM

Weiss pants hard, as she rests on one knee, and using Myrtenaster as support. She lifts her head up and looks at the white Beowolf, staring at her. Weiss lowers her head and chuckles, before doing her best to stand up. She then looks at her summon, and smiles.

"Okay." She said. "Let's see if I can do better."

BUILDING

Team JNPR enter an empty building, dust covering their clothes and armor, and exhausted. Nora lies down on a counter and rests Magnhild on her chest.

Ren sits next to her, while Pyrrha stands nearby, and Jaune look out a window. He sees Ruby, Yang and Blake walking around the street, they're in.

Ring

Jaune takes out his Scroll, and he is surprised. He then looks at his team.

"I gotta take this. I'll be back."

Jaune then exits the main room, and into a hallway. Pyrrha, showing concern, looks at Ren and Nora, before quietly following Jaune. Opening the door, Pyrrha sees that the hallway is empty. She sees a door open, and slowly walks to it. Sitting next to the doorframe, she quickly peeks inside, seeing Jaune resting on a desk, and looking at his Scroll.

Jaune answers the call, and a green-haired woman appears.

"Hey, Jade." Jaune said, to his sister, Jade Arc.

Jade smiles. "Hey, little brother. Been a while, huh?"

"A couple months. Yeah." Jaune answered. "Any reason, why you called me?"

"Well, we all heard about what happened in Atlas." Jade answered. "We just wanted to be sure, you were okay."

"I'm fine, Jade." Jaune said. "Everyone else is fine."

Jade then turns concerned. "And...Neptune?"

"He's fine, too. Just...a little anti-social. You should come over, sometimes. I can tell, he misses you."

"I'll try to."

Jaune's expression then turns to worry. "How's...how's Clover doing?"

Jade then goes sad, and closes her eyes. "She's...it doesn't look good, Jaune."

Jaune then begins to tightly grip on the desk, with his free hand.

"Doctors are giving her a few more days. If she doesn't wake up...they'll have no other choice."

Jaune grips the desk harder and sadly sighs.

"Jaune?"

Jaune then takes a moment to calm down, before speaking. "Thanks for updating me. Just let me know, whether she wakes up...or if she doesn't."

Before Jade can speak, Jaune ends the call, turns around, and rests her hands on the desk, and staring at it.

Pyrrha, having heard the conversation, looks at the floor in sadness.

"It was a car accident, Pyrrha."

Pyrrha, surprised, peeks back inside, and sees Jaune looking at her. She then slowly stands up and walks inside.

"I'm sorry, Jaune." She said, sitting across from him. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your call. When I saw the concern on your face...I just couldn't stay away."

"It's okay." Jaune said. "I was going to tell you, anyways. Ren and Nora know already. But, I didn't want to tell you, until I was sure."

"I understand, Jaune. I don't know what happened. But, it sounded like a family problem."

"It is." Jaune said. "But, I think you should be aware of the problem. So, if u have any questions, go ahead."

"...Clover. So, that's your older sister? Right?" Juane nods. "And you said, it was a car accident. What happened, exactly?"

"Drunk driver." Jaune answered. "Side-swept Clover's car, and it went down a cliff. She survivied that. But, now she's fighting for her life. Doctors put her in a medically-induced coma. But, they said, she slowly failing. If she's not awake, in the next few days...they're going to pull the plug."

Jaune clenches his hands in fists, and they are shaking.

"I should be there, right now. With my family. Stay by her side. And just hope..."

Jaune is interrupted by Pyrrha, who tightly hugs him. Jaune, though surprised, doesn't pry himself off, as he would've. Instead, he hugs Pyrrha back. Pyrrha can feel Jaune shaking and him sniffling, and his head resting on her shoulder.

"It's okay, Jaune." Pyrrha said. "Just let it all out."

Jaune, after a couple seconds, releases his hug. Pyrrha, too. He wipes his tears and grabs his sword.

"Not now." Jaune said. "I can't. Not until our job is done, here. We don't know, if anyone else is trapped or hurt. And we need to help them."

Pyrrha stares at Jaune for a few seconds, before she nods. "Yeah. You're right."

"Okay." Jaune said. "We should pro-"

"Juane!"

Jaune and Pyrha turn to see Ren, at the doorway.

"We have a problem."

The two follow Ren out of the room, down the hallway, and into the main room, they entered in. They, along with Nora run outside to see Ruby, Blake and Yang fighting a masked woman, who is deflecting every attack they make, and gives a few hits of her own towards the trio. When she kicks all three back, she takes a look at JNPR, their weapons ready. She then focuses her attention, and tilts her head.

"Well, well, well." She said. "It's a pleasure to see you again."

Pyrrha looks confused, along with her teammates. The masked woman proceeds to slowly take off her mask, and remove the hood, she wore. Showing her face, Team JNPR go between surprised and shocked. Even Ruby, Yang, and Blake are that way, too.

Ruby then turns angry. "Cinder."

Cinder, smiling and wearing a cloth over her missing eye, turns to Ruby.

"What's the matter?" She asked. "Missed me much?"

"Not by a long shot." Ruby said.

Cinder sighs. "That's too bad."

"Whatever you think, you doing." Ruby said. "I suggest you stop. It's clear, that you're outnumbered."

"It wouldn't matter." Cinder said. "I'm only here, for just one person."

Jaune turns to Pyrrha, who begins to back away. He turns to Cinder. "You're not getting anywhere near her."

"Oh, you are so wrong." Cinder said, smiling. "I'm only here...for you."

Jaune is surprised. Cinder chuckles.

"Please tell me, you haven't forgotten, what you did to me, all those months ago. What you did, in your blind rage."

Cinder's smile fades and turns angry.

"You beat me merciless. And took away my eye."

Swords the materialized in front of Cinder.

"So, I'll return the favor."

Cinder then charges at Jaune, who manages to block her sword with his hold. As they struggle, Jaune is surprised, that Cinder is actually pushing him backwards.

"BY TAKING BOTH OF YOUR EYES!" Cinder screams.

Cinder jumps and lands on Jaune's shield, pushing him to the ground. She then attempts to stab him, but he rolls away and stands. Ren and Nora charge at her, but Cinder jumps and flips over them, and landing near Pyrrha, who is frozen. Cinder smiles and grabs her, by the neck.

"Pyrrha!" Jaune exclaims, before running.

Cinder looks at Jaune, before looking back at Pyrrha.

"Perhaps next time, Nikos."

Cinder then throws Pyrrha to the ground, before she jumps out of the way, from Jaune. Cinder then turns to see Ruby, Blake and Yang joining the others. Jaune is staring at the scared Pyrrha, before he helps her up.

"Get outta here." Jaune said. "We all know, what happens, if Cinder gets near you, again."

Pyrrha stares in silence.

"Pyrhha! Go!"

Pyrrha, surprised by the yell, immediately nods. She takes one last look at Cinder, and proceeds to fly away. Jaune then turns and gets Crocea Mors. The others prepare themselves as well.

Cinder chuckles. "Oh...this is going to be fun."

SCHNEE FAMILY MANSION - VELVET'S ROOM

Velvet sits on the floor of her room. In front of her, on the floor, lies a video camera, the screen ready to play. She appears to be hesitant as she reaches for it, but backs her arm away. She then slowly sighs and proceeds to grab the camera. Pressing play, she watches the video play.

The video shows a waterfall a few feet away, and a hand sticking out to feel the water. The woman, Velvet walks into the view of the camera, and turns to smile.

"Velvet. Not too close. Wouldn't want to get those cute rabbit ears wet."

"Oh, don't you worry." Velvet said. "I'll be fine. In fact...why don't you get closer?"

"I...wouldn't. I don't want my beret wet."

Velvet sighs and walks forward and grabs something. Pulling someone in, Coco Adel comes into view.

Velvet sadly smiles, upon seeing Coco.

"Alright, Velvs." Coco said. "Any reason, why we're out here?"

"Please be patient, Coco." Velvet said. "I promise you, you'll enjoy, what happens next. Now. I want you to just stand still, and don't move. Okay?'

Coco sighs and smiles. "I trust you."

Velvet nods. She then raises her hands and proceeds to grab Coco's beret, surprising the latter. Velvet then grabs Coco's glasses and puts both items aside.

"Alright. Now...close your eyes. And please no peeking, this time. And trust me, when I say, that I can tell."

"Relax, Velvs." Coco said. "I'll do as you say."

Coco proceeds to close her eyes. Velvet waits a couple seconds, before she then takes out a small black box.

Velvet's smile slowly fades away, and her eyes begin to water.

Velvet then sits in one knee, and raises her hand, that holds the now-open box.

"Okay." She said. "Open your eyes."

Coco opens her eyes, and they go wide, upon seeing the ring, held in the box.

"Velvet?"

Velvet stands up and gets little closer to her girlfriend.

"Coco Adel. We've been together, for two years. And those two years have been the happiest, I've ever had, in my entire life. And it is all because of you."

Velvet then rests her head on Coco's and continues.

"We had some ups and downs in the past. Sure. But together, we picked each other up and we were happy again. And now, after so long, I believe it's time, we go further."

"Are you...asking me to be your wife?" Coco asked.

"Well...we are standing besides a beautiful waterfall, and I am holding a ring, in front of you. Pretty sure, that answers your question."

Coco chuckles. "Well, you got a point there. And I must admit, this was a brilliant way to propose. So, I may as well, say yes to yours."

Coco takes the ring and places it in her ring finger, while Velvet places the box aside. She the grasps Coco's hands, and they stare at each other, before the screen turns off.

Velvet stares at the black screen, for a few seconds, before she sets it down, and stares at the floor. She then turns her head and sees Aiden, who had been sitting on a chair.

"How long were you there?" She asked.

"Long enough." Aiden said.

Velvet grabs the video camera, stands up and places it inside a drawer.

"Coco and I. The proposal happened, a week before the courthouse explosion in Vale, months ago...we agreed not to let anyone know, until we felt like, we were ready. Needless to say...it never happened."

Velvet watches as a tear drops on the beret that one belonged to Coco.

"Why do you watch it?"

Velvet turns and looks at Aiden.

"You're clearly torturing yourself, by watching that footage. Why?"

Velvet goes to her bed and sits on it.

"I have a hatred in me, Aiden." She said. "Hatred for the man, who took her away from me. Who brutally murdered the girl, I loved."

"...Torchwick." Aiden said.

"Every day, I think a number of way, I want to enact my revenge on that murdering bastard. Every goddamn day. But, I know that if I did...I would become him. A murderer. So, I watch the video, every day...as a reminder to the girl, who would never want me to kill for revenge."

Aiden stares at Velvet, before standing up and walking to her. He then proceeds to place his hands on her shoulders.

"I'm going to help you, Velvet." He said. "Coco would've want you to move on. And I know, that you know that, already. But, you're going to need someone, who can help you do that. And that's where I come in."

Velvet nods. "Thank you, Aiden."

That's when the sound of a muffled explosion is heard. The two turn to where it happened.

"What was that?" Aiden asked.

STREET

Jaune is blasted back, crashing onto a car, and landing on the ground. As he slowly gets up, he sees Ruby crashing onto the wall, and falling. Jaune turns and sees Cinder down the street, they're in. Yang, Blake, Ren and Nora attempt to attack her, but Cinder manages to dodge and deflect every attack. She then kicks the four away from her, and make her walk towards Jaune, who is now standing.

Jaune attempts to charge, but someone lands on his shield, and grasping it. Hearing the maniacal laughter, Juane looks at Tyrian, who jumps backwards and land next Cinder. Ruby joins Jaune and they get ready to fight. Cinder tries to charge at them, but is blocked by an arm. She turns and looks at Tyrian.

"Allow me." He said, chuckling. "I think it's time to show them, what I can really do."

Cinder growls, but backs away.

"Good girl." Tyrian said. "Now, then..." He turns and looks at Jaune and Ruby.

"You." Ruby growled, eyes glowing.

"Oh, hello there, little flower." Tyrian said. "Happy to see me, again. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course, I know you aren't happy. Especially, after what happened to your poor girlfriend. Speaking of which...how is she, these days?"

Ruby tries to run towards him, but it stopped by Jaune's sword.

"Don't let him provoke you." Jaune said. "He'll sting you, if you do."

Ruby is confused. "Sting?"

Tyrian gasps and just smiles. "My, my. You are aware, huh?"

Jaune turn towards Tyrian. "Damn right. So, why don't you just show us, what you're hiding, under that belt. I believe the trait you have...is a scorpion."

Tyrian chuckles. Ruby and Jaune see that Tyrian's belt is seemingly unwrapping itself, from his waist. And out comes a tail, with a stinger on the tip. Tyrian the makes his stinger point at the two.

"He's...a Faunus." Ruby said.

"Yep." Jaune said. "Be careful. He can deplete your Aura, if he hits the weak spots. And his stinger is very poisonus."

"You, my adversary, are quite knowledgeable about me." Tyrian said. "Care to tell me, how?"

Jaune then get Crocea Mors ready. "Let's just get this fight over with." He turns to Ruby. "I'll take care of him. You focus on her."

Ruby turns to look at Cinder, who then climbs up a ladder, to a rooftop. Ruby flies up to follow her, while Jaune and Tyrian charge at each other.

Ruby lands on the rood, and looks at Cinder.

"Oh, Little Rose." Cinder said, smiling. "Care for another round? I, myself, am enjoying this day, fairly wonderful."

"Shut up!" Ruby exclaims.

"Oh, my." Cinder said. "That anger, I heard. Oh, it reminds me of all the times, we had together. Killing your father. Holding the Schnee girl hostage. Hurting dear young Arc, emotionally. I sure do know, how to get a reaction from you."

Ruby charges at Cinder, swinging Crimson Rose at her adversary. Cinder manages to block the attack, but Ruby angrily struggles to push her sword forward.

"Are you...actually trying to kill me?" Cinder said, struggling.

She then notices something in Ruby's silver eyes. Slits of red appears in her eyes, before disappearing. She then smiles.

"Well, well."

Cinder then kicks Ruby, making her slide backwards.

"I guess, after all these years, I never knew."

Ruby tries Crimson Rose, but Cinder dodges the blade. Gripping the handle, she pulls Ruby back, and hits her knee on Ruby's stomach.

"She's been living, in you head. I'm assuming, I'm correct."

Cinder then grabs Ruby's head makes eye contact.

"Salem. You can see her, huh?"

Ruby's eyes go wide. Cinder just smiles.

"I am right. And I see, based on your reaction...you're still afraid of her. Heh. That's good. Because, what you don't know is this...she can control you."

Ruby then shows fear, upon hearing that.

"And when she does, she'll probably go after the ones, you love. And you'll just watch, as she slaughters them all."

Ruby punches Cinder and tries to flies away. But, Cinder manages to grab her foot, and then proceeds to slam her to the ground. Ruby, dazed, struggles to get up. Cinder walks to Ruby, grabs her by her cape, and proceeds to drag her, as she walks.

"Only time will tell, when Salem decides to take over your body"

Cinder stops at the edge of the rooftop, where she sees Tyrian fighting not only Jaune, but the others as well.

"And when she does...I will personally be there, to welcome her back."

Tyrian gives Jaune a kick, and the latter flies towards his teammates, crashing into them.

"All it takes, for that to happen, is for you to lose you will and hope."

Cinder then grabs Ruby, by her neck and raises her up.

"In the meantime...why don't you help your friends out?"

Cinder then throws Ruby over, and she, still dazed, falls down, towards the ground. Tyrian sees then and chuckles. Avoiding an attack by Yang, Tyrian leaps up into the air, and proceeds to give Ruby a kick to her abdomen. Ruby is sent flying backwards into a car. As she impacts, her aura then depletes. Groaning, she tries to get up.

Tyrian lands next to Ruby, and gives her a kick in the face, making her fall to the ground again.

"Ruby!" Yang exclaims, before she charges.

"Not so fast!" Tyrian exclaims, putting his stinger near Ruby's neck.

Yang immediately stops, upon seeing this.

"Her aura is gone, Missy." Tyrian said. "And I can easily kill her, right here. So, I suggest you back away. Nice and slowly."

Yang angrily backs away, towards the others. As Tyrian watches, Ruby then makes a ball of ice with her hand. Seeing Tyrian distracted, she throws it at his face. Tyrian yells as he walks backwards, a few feet. He growls.

"You bitch!"

His eyes then suddenly shifts from yellow to purple. Ruby tries to get up, but then sees the stinger heading towards her.

Ruby would've been stung right there...has it not been for the glyph that blocks it. Ruby is surprised to see the glyph.

"Weiss?" She asked, looking around.

She is taken by surprised, at the person, who lands in between her and Tyrian's stinger. Ruby's eyes go wide is shock, as she looks at the woman, who she thought is dead.

"Winter?"

Winter pulls her hood down, and sighs. "Miss Rose."
