A/N: Sorry about the late chapter... Life happened. Anyway, this is a shorter chapter, but I hope its not bad... Anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 6
Yang sat silently in a chair facing the whiteboard. Specifically, the single name written there, 'Professor Peter Port'.
Her first class at Beacon was his class, and truthfully, she thought he was kinda creepy. Over the course of his many classes, she started to like him... not in the gross way, but like a person liked a younger friend, but with the roles reversed.
Now, according to Yatsuhashi, the man was dead. Executed, by those she once called true friends. She knew the students weren't in control of themselves, but this was a human life that was snuffed out by her friends' hands.
She didn't know if she could forgive them, but she really wanted to.
A beeping sound caught her attention. A message from Jaune.
'Yang, we found more free students. Thank Yatsu for that. We're moving from cafeteria to you. Make sure hallway is clear of frenemies?- JA'
She forwarded the message to the larger student, who was sitting behind a desk, reading through Beacons blueprints.
She responded, 'Okie doke… Who you have with you? -YXL'
A little voice in her head spoke up, 'Please be Blake. Please let my Kitty be okay.' She stopped, 'MY Kitty? Yeah, I like the sound of that. Alright, Oum, if Blake is okay, I'll make her mine. Deal?' She prayed.
As if on cue, Jaune responded, 'Blake, Nora, Velvet, and some silver haired kid. Mars or Manganese or something.-JA'
She only focused on one name.
'Blake? Really? AWESOMENESS!-YXL'
'...just keep the hallway clear. -JA'
'Yes sir, fearless leader! -YXL'
She thanked Oum Almighty, then relayed the information to her larger companion.
The samurai's sullen mood instantly perked up when she told him about Velvet.
"So… Is there a thing between you two?" She asked.
She had been expecting him to dodge the question, much like Blake usually did, but almost choked on her own tongue when he answered.
"She is my fiancée. We were- are due to be betrothed in a couple months time." He said matter-of-factly.
"*cough* Well, that's flippin AWESOME!" She said happily, glad to have a distraction from the whiteboard.
He nodded, "We should check the hallway, and keep it safe for our friends' return."
She agreed.
-Jaune's POV-
"RUN, JUST RUN!" He shouted as he himself sprinted towards the classroom building.
Upon opening the cafeteria doors, they were instantly attacked by the several brainwashed students. Blake, Mercury, and Nora were the first out, the latter holding the frenemies at bay with her melon-hammer.
"Forth, my Melon-jnir! Strike our foes back with unlethal power!" She cawed happily.
"Unlethal isn't a word!" Sun called back, also holding his own with his staff.
He and Velvet didn't stay back to help, they just kept running, hoping the others would be able to follow.
They planned to split up into pairs, and meet at their destination. As doing so would give the frenemies more targets.
He and Velvet would take the shortest route, Blake and Mercury would take the longest, while the remaining pair, Nora and Sun, would take out as many students as they could in attempt to free them.
Upon entering the classroom building, Jaune ducked into a classroom and motioned for Velvet to follow.
He closed the door, and waited for his eyes to adjust to the dark classroom.
"Hey, they is the same one I hid in when Yatsu found me!" he said aloud.
"Really?" the feminine voice answered, somewhere to his left.
"Yeah… seems like several years ago…" He sat down, and flexed his shoulder, where Yang had burned him.
"Well, I'm glad you are here." Came a third voice.
It was monotone.
Jaune jumped up, looking for a telltale red light.
Before he could find it, a solid object slammed into his jaw, sending him into the wall.
"Screw it." He muttered to himself as he got up.
Though dazed, he dove sloppily for the lightswitch, and flicked it on.
Looking around, he saw Velvet blinking in the sudden bright light, and then the enslaved student.
It was Pyrrha.
The brainwashed champion kicked Velvet in the stomach, then kneed her chin when the rabbit doubled over in pain, effectively knocking her out.
Jaune grabbed at the nearest object he could use to defend himself, a broken desk leg.
Thankfully, she was unarmed. On the other hand, she was now grabbing a similar broken leg.
He brandished his own like a sword, and assumed a battle stance.
"Don't do this." He warned.
"I'm sorry, but any student found without a greenchopper device is an enemy. And all enemies must be either captured… or killed." She said.
Then she charged.
