A/N: Hello RWBY fans! Time to find out the secrets about Naomi's betrayal! I hope you all like it. On another note, RWBY VOLUME 3 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS! There is a god out there. An anime loving god.
The three of LION and the sisters of red and yellow looked at the blue haired faunus friend in disbelief. If Naomi's ears could go any lower, she'd look like a normal girl. She couldn't bare to look the others in the eyes. What she did what monstrous, selling out those who trusted her.
"Naomi… Is this true?" Leon asked as he took a step forward towards his partner.
"..."
"Answer me!"
"...I'm sorry Leon…" Naomi said as she managed the strength to look Leon in the eyes. She saw nothing but betrayal in them.
"You're sorry…?" Both of them heard Ovan bark from his crumpled form. "You're sorry!?" Despite the pain that wracked his body. "What sort of bullshit excuse is that!?"
Yang quickly covered Ruby's ears before the leader uttered his curse. "Not in front of my sister!"
"Then you better cover her ears for a while cause this bitch is gonna get it." Ovan yelled back as he turned to his traitorous teammate. "You say you're sorry but do you think you even deserve that right!? Hell no! You knew what you were doing was wrong, traitorous and damn near evil but you did it anyway! You sold us out and look what it caused!" He motioned to the chaos around them. "You better be ready to answer for what you did Naomi! Cause when I get my hands on you, I'm gonna tear you apart limb by limb!"
Isuka laughed from Torchwick's side hysterically. "Go ahead dumbass! Mangle her, gouge her eyes out, tear her into faunus lunchmeat! We don't need her anymore, she's served her purpose."
Ovan's rage turned to the guitar wielding girl and charged at her. Torchwick jumped out of the way as she drew her instrument weapon and bashed the teen over the head, creating a large crater upon impact "Nice try dumbass, you're still a millions years too early to hurt me."
Ovan grunted as he tried to get back up from the impact. Before Isuka could repeat her actions, a sniper bullet shot past the girl making her jump back. She looked up to see Ruby with smoke coming out of the barrel of Crescent Rose
"You stay away from him!" she yelled.
"Oh like you care about him!" Isuka said while pointing at the young girl. "Face it, he's nothing but a piece of shi-"
Yet again the guitarist was cut off as Yang shot a round of her ammo from Amber Celica towards her. She took a backstep to dodge it and glared at the yellow haired brawler. "Hey watch it!"
"You curse in front of my sister one more time and you're gonna need a new guitar after I smash it over your head and shove the pieces down your throat!" she threatened.
Isuka laughed darkly at Yangs threat. "I'd like to see you try. But before you focus on me, you should focus on the rat on your group."
"What!?" Leon turned around to see Naomi running from the scene. "Damnit! You guys watch after Ovan, I'm chasing after Naomi!"
"Wait Leon!" Iris called out.
Leon ignored Iris's call as he bolted to catch his partner.

Leon sped through the streets of Vale, chasing after the fleeing fox faunus. "Naomi! Wait!"
"Just leave me alone, Leon!" Naomi yelled back. She jumped up to the top of a building and began running across the rooftops. Leon shot a green arrow from his bow, sending a line of aura to the top of the building ahead of her. The lavender haired teen yanked on the line and used it as a grappling hook to swing himself up and intercept the navy blue haired girl. Naomi grabbed the handle of her Kasumi Blossom, but seemed hesitant to unsheath it.
"Naomi, please" Leon begged. "Tell me why you did this."
"Just shut up Leon!" the female faunus screamed. "You don't know anything about me! You can't understand what I've gone through!"
Before Leon could say anything, Naomi unsheathed her weapon and sped at Leon. He quickly transformed his weapon back into a scimitar and positioned his weapon to block the incoming attack, but it turned out to be a feint as Naomi leaped over him and continued to run along the rooftops. Unwilling to let her get away, Leon quickly gave chase. The lavender haired archer fired a green arrow past Naomi, striking the building ahead. He yanked on it and the line quickly retracted towards the arrow tip. Leon swung his arm to grab the running female faunus, but she ducked out of the way and ran towards another roof. Leon let go of the line and skidded to a halt before continuing his pursuit.
As Naomi leaped off towards the next building, Leon switched back to his bow and fired a bright yellow arrow. The arrow pierced into Naomi's lower left leg and a small electric shock overtook her, stunning the girl. She crash landed onto the next building and lied down, struggling to move. Leon jumped onto the roof and stood next to her.
"Go ahead." Naomi said, unable to even look at Leon. "Just finish me off and kill me."
"Damn it Naomi, would you just listen!" Leon yelled. "I'm not going to kill you! Just tell me… why" Tears began to form in Leon's eyes, feeling betrayed.
"What difference will it make?" Naomi told him in a hollow voice. "You'll still just look at me the same way everyone else does. Like I'm a monster."
"You're not a monster, Naomi" Leon replied, causing Naomi to finally look at him. "I know you're not evil. The Naomi I know is a kind, sweet, fun-loving person. Sure, you're shy and secretive at times, but deep down, I know you aren't a bad person."
"Leon…"
"So tell me why you did this?!"
The paralysis effect of the arrow had already subsided, but Naomi didn't make any attempt to escape. She continued to lie there. "I always believed humans were evil. I had been looked at like a piece of trash since I was young. Before coming to Beacon, I thought that good humans didn't exist. I joined the White Fang when I was young. They sent me here on a mission." Tears began to roll down the faunus's eyes. "But then I met you, Iris, Ruby, and so many others that treated me like… like I was an actual person. I began to wonder if I had been wrong about humans."
Leon reached out his hand towards Naomi, who accepted it and got to her feet. Tears were still coming out of her eyes like a waterfall. "I'm so sorry Leon."
"I know." Leon nodded. "I'll vouch for that when you explain this to everyone. Now let's go back, ok?"
Naomi nodded her head and hugged the lavender haired archer, grateful to have such a wonderful friend at her side. "Ok."

Iris caught Ovan as he was slammed away from Isuka's vicious strike. The orange haired brawler tried his hardest to get the air back into his lungs as he recovered from that last attack. Ruby and Yang couldn't help much as they were busy dealing with Torchwick and his leftover goons. The ivory haired ninja glared at the girl in front of her. Ovan was one of the strongest people she knew yet Isuka could beat him around like he was a ragdoll. Things weren't looking good for the two members of LION.
"So… You two done yet?" Isuka asked as she picked her ear in an un-ladylike way. "Because this is just starting to get sad."
Iris shook her head as she laid Ovan on the ground. "No way! Me and Snugglebutt are gonna fight you until we drop."
Isuka gave a cold smile at those words. "That can be arranged you know."
Iris charged at the guitar wielding girl, yelling in rage. Isuka lazily dodged all of the swift strikes with ease, only letting the air from her strikes breeze past her skin. The ninja girl went for a sweep to knock her off her feet but Isuka saw this coming as she jumped in the air in a backflip and kicked Iris in the chin, sending a sharp wave of pain throughout the girl's body. The force of the impact launched the ivory haired girl into the air. Isuka grinned as she bared her instrument like a baseball bat, ready to swing at Iris's unprotected body. As she was about to swing at her head, Ovan rushed forward and landed a solid punch to Isuka's face, unloading all his power into the punch. Isuka flinched back, dropping her weapon in surprise as Ovan followed up with a uppercut to her chin while retreating his other hand. Gathering the Dust infused power in the Blackhawk in his right fist, the brawler unleashed another vicious uppercut to Isuka's face, blasting her away with a fiery explosion.
The devilish guitarist slammed into Torchwick causing the both of them to collapse in a heap. "Damn it you brat! Watch where you're moving!"
"Like I wanted to even touch you, let alone get knocked into the floor with you slimeball!" Isuka bit back.
She got up and glanced to Ovan and his partner to see him glaring hell at her with his blue eyes as a dark shadow covered his face. "You're dead now Isuka!" he yelled, stomping on her dropped weapon as if to solidify his statement. "No more of your crappy performances for you!"
A look of unbridled rage entered Isuka's face as she forcefully grabbed Torchwick's Melodic Cudgel from his hand and pointed directly at Ovan's body as she fired a round at him. Ovan didn't even have time to react as the firework-looking shot blasted him directly in his torso. The force of the blast sent him skyrocketing into a metal dumpster, leaving an Ovan-shaped imprint of the metal container. Iris moved to help her partner but was blasted from behind by another shot from Torchwick's weapon, leaving her crumpled on the floor, groaning in a heavy amount of pain. Isuka coldly handed the bowler hat wearing man his cane back as she sauntered up to the orange haired youth, letting the criminal to face off the two sisters again. Picking her guitar on the way over to Ovan, her eyes held cold rage as she lifted her foot above Ovan's face. She then began stomping on his face brutally, each hit gaining more and more strength the more she kicked.
"You!"
Stomp.
"Don't!"
Stomp.
"Touch!"
Stomp.
"My!"
Stomp.
"Freaking!"
Stomp.
"GUITAR!"
To punctuate the statement, she lifted her re-obtained guitar and slugged Ovan square in the face, creating a small crater with the sheer force of the impact.
"Ovan!" Ruby yelled as she just witnessed what just happened to her fellow leader.
Using Isuka's raging display as an advantage, Torchwick quickly blasted the floor from under the sisters, causing them to lose their balance as the man jumped to them and whacked both of them away into the ground.
"Well ladies… and the little brat lying half dead in the dumpster." Torchwick started as he twirled the cane in his hand. "I do believe it is time me and my 'associates' made our way out stage left. Isuka if you will?"
"Oh no!" Isuka yelled back as she picked up Ovan by his neck. "I'm not leaving until he is dead!"
Torchwick sighed as he walked up to the girl and gave her a mocking pat on the head. "Now I can understand you want to go the extra mile to impress the boss but our work here is done. We have to go now."
Isuka grinned madly as she threw Ovan to the ground. "Just a second, I need a new place to store my loose change. I think his head will do nicely!" she screeched as she lifted her weapon, ready to decapitate the teen.
Iris barely got up in time to scream at her partner in horror, as there was nothing else she could do in her current state. "OVAN! NOOOOOOO!"
As the guitar was an inch away from his neck, Ovan's left hand sprouted up and grabbed it to a stop. Isuka's eyes went wide in surprise as she struggled to pry her instrument out of his hands to no avail. "The hell!? Let go you bastard!"
Ovan's head slowly moved up to look at Isuka. She flinched as she saw the sheer amount of rage embroidered in his face. The teen sent out a shockwave force from his body, knocking the two criminals away from him.
"You think this is over?" Ovan lowly grumbled as he got up on his feet. A strong black Aura began emanating from him, one that seemed to be stronger than his previous Aura. "It isn't, not by a long shot!"
Isuka growled as she got back up from the floor. "You have no chance, there's two of us and one of you!" As she turned around to look at her partner in crime, she stood slacked jawed as she saw Torchwick climbing the ladder to a Dustplane. "Hey! Where the hell are you going!?"
Torchwick smiled back in response. "I told you we had to go and you know how the boss hates tardy 'employees'. Good luck in round two Isuka, it looks like you're gonna need it." The villain waved goodbye as the air vehicle flew away from the scene.
Isuka stood staring at the fleeing aircraft for a few more seconds before she turned around back to her opponent. "Alright asshole! It's just me and you!"
"And I'm glad it is!" Ovan yelled as the Aura flared more around him. "Because now it's time to LET IT OUT!"
As he yelled that sentence, a huge pillar of black Aura erupted violently from his body, pushing Ruby, Yang and Iris away from him and Isuka stepped back in something akin to fear. "Wh-What the-!?"
The rest of the air in Isuka's lungs left her body in a violent heave as Ovan punched her square in the gut. The sheer force from the punch was staggering, nothing like his previous punches. This one actually hurt a lot! Ovan retracted his fist from the girl's stomach but gave her no time to recover as he delivered a devastating right hook to her face, blasting her into a small shop causing a huge rain of glass to rain down and cut her in many areas. Isuka tried to get up from her vulnerable position but was stopped as Ovan jumped in and stomped both of his legs into her abdomen making her eyes go wide in pain and shock. Ovan roared like a wild beast as he rampaged on top of the girl, constantly beating his fists into her face with raging fury. Quickly jumping off of her, Ovan grabbed her by the head and threw her through the other unbroken window. Isuka landed shakily on her feet, picking up her guitar from the floor and changed back at the teen. Ovan's eyes trained focused on her as she swung with all the strength and speed Isuka's body would allow her.
'Damn freaking bastard!' she thought viciously as she swung and swung but couldn't land a single blow anymore. 'How is this possible!? Is… Is this what losing feels like!?'
"What's the matter Isuka?" Ovan taunted the girl, his voice having a sight echo to it. "Hate being a loser?"
"SHUT UP!" Isuka blasted the floor from under Ovan with a strum of her guitar, sending a blast of fire bellow him to shatter the concrete into large slabs into the air.
This was the nail in the coffin for Isuka as Ovan flared his power even higher as he jumped behind her with killing intent. Before she could turn around, Ovan's foot made contact with her face, blasting her into a piece of the flying debris. The force of the impact was strong enough to hurt, yet gentle enough not to break the stone as it ricocheted her right back to Ovan's waiting fist. He punched her back into a different slab of stone, repeated his actions as she bounced right back to him again. The cycle was painful and horrible for Isuka as he kept alternating where he fit her with a different limb each time. Seeming to have had enough of her suffering, Ovan infused his Aura into his final punch as he socked her right in the kisser, sending her tumbling on the ground in a painful heap.
Ovan slowly strode up to the girl with a demonic smile painting his face. "After that last barrage, you must be feeling really crappy right now. You're just a sitting duck." He lifted the girl by her shirt off the ground and stared her dead in the eyes. "And guess what season it is?"
With the intent to end her life, Ovan slowly drew his fist back while gathering a huge amount of power in his right fist. As he was about to strike, a swiftly thrown object grazed his cheek making him drop the girl the surprise. Looking at the ground he found a butterfly knife embedded on the floor Before Isuka hit the floor, she found herself being levitated to the top of a two story building. The hunter and huntresses in training looked on the roof of the building to see a woman standing there holding a strange device in her left hand while twirling a butterfly knife in the other as if declaring herself to the world as the one who threw the other one. The woman had long, flowing blood orange hair that flowed to her back with the lower half being tied into a braid with a pair of glasses on her face over her pink eyes. She wore a plain white lab coat with a low cut leather shirt that showed off her assets along with a pair of red pants that had a steel chain around it with a pair of black high heels. Her device lifted the Isuka to her and placed her safely at her side.
"Now why did you have to go and make him pissed Isuka?" the woman scolded while wagging a finger at her. "Do you know how much paperwork I'm gonna have to fill out because of you and dear Roman?"
Isuka spat at the ground and shakily stood up. "Like you care about that crap."
The woman gave a small smile as she patted her 'associate' on the head. "Oh now don't throw a hissy fit just because you lost. Half of it was your fault you know."
"What!?"
"Now I do believe it's time we take our leave." the woman announced to the spectators below. She gave a bow to them before giving a Cheshire grin. "Ladies…. Ovan…"
Iris turned to her partner as she got up from the floor. "First the guitarist and now a woman in a lab coat? How does this one know you Snugg-"
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Ovan bellowed with fury as his Aura blasted high like a large shadow pillar as he charged forward like a bullet train at the two. Jumping high in the air, he shot forward at the smiling woman and her injured companion ready to smash their faces in. As he was just a hairs length away from them, an unknown force knocked him back away from them, making him smash painfully on the floor. Waving with a friendly smile, the two women disappeared as a large shadow enveloped the two of them, leaving no trace of their presence other than the carnage around them. Ovan screamed in rage as he started smashed the floor from under him, creating large scale cracks all over the street.
"Ovan calm down!" Yang yelled as she looked on at the brawlers actions. "They're gone! We scared them off!"
"SHUT UP!" He yelled as he started running at Yang with his fists bared at her.
Yang jumped back when Ovan smashed at the ground under her and continued to chase after her with a crazed look in his eyes. He kept on attacking her as if she was the source of his rage. Before he could land a punch, Ruby had rushed forward with her Semblance and whacked him with the blunt side of Crescent Rose, making the male flinch back in annoyance.
"I don't know what's gotten into you Ovan." Ruby started as she transformed her weapon into sniper mode. "But I'm not gonna let you hurt my sister!"
Ovan was about to charge at Ruby next, until something else caught his eye. He looked over to see Leon coming towards the group. Naomi was at his side.
"YOU!" Ovan screamed out in rage. He started charging at the traitorous faunus, causing Naomi to open her eyes wide with fear. She had never seen Ovan like this.
"Oh crap!" Leon exclaimed. "He activated Blackhawk! Naomi, get back!" Leon quickly charged a yellow arrow and fired it. The arrow pierced his left shoulder and let out a paralysis shock, but Ovan didn't stop. Leon continued to fire at Ovan, piercing the least vital areas of his body. It took six arrows before the wild beast of a hunter fell down, completely paralyzed.
"What the hell was that about?!" Yang asked. "He looked like he was ready to kill us!"
"He was." Leon explained. "He went into his wild mode."
"Wild mode?" Ruby questioned.
Leon nodded and went on to explain. "Ovan's jacket is called the Blackhawk. It allows him to channel his semblance into a raging power. When he uses too much of it's power though, he loses control of himself, as you've seen. It's called the wild mode."
The group gave a nod, showing they understood. Yang walked forward. "So now that we've settled that, what are we going to do about her?" she asked, pointing at Naomi.
"Naomi is-"
"Wait Leon." Naomi interrupted. "I want to explain to them why." She walked up to her friends. "I won't make excuses for myself. I was a member of the White Fang. My entire life, I hated humans. I didn't think any of them had any good in them."
"Naomi..." Iris said in a surprised voice.
"But I'm not like that anymore." the female faunus continued. "I'm deserting the White Fang. I've come to realize that I was wrong. You guys showed me that. I'll face any punishment you see fit."
The group stood there, not sure of how to take her story. Yang looked at Leon. "What do you think, Leon?"
"I believe her." the lavender haired archer said. "I know she's truly sorry."
"I'm with Leon." Iris agreed. "I trust Naomi."
"Me too." Ruby added.
Yang looked back at the female faunus. "You do realize we'll have to explain everything to Professor Ozpin and Goodwitch, right?"
"I'm ready to face whatever punishment they give me." Naomi told the blonde brawler.
"Alright then." Yang said with a smile. She put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm on your side too, Naomi. We're friends after all."
"Yang…" Naomi said with tears forming in her eyes. She quickly moved her arm to wipe the water coming down her face. "Thank you. You guys are the best."
