"NO! NO! PLEASE!" Sky begged a crunch was heard "I just had the polished that yesterday" he whimpered
"Then tell me why you're here and maybe...just maybe you'll walk away with the mirrors and tires still intact" Weiss said "And soon because I'll run out of car to smash" she went over to Sky and tapped the tire iron "Knees, shoulders or balls?" she asked in that sickly sweet motherly tone most people with a weapon in their hands get when they threaten someone, right before breaking a mirror
"Come on I mean there's being a bitch and being an Über-Bitch" Sky said and just for that comment the other mirror went
"Tell me now and you might just sire an offspring or two" Weiss said pointing the tire iron at Sky
"IT WAS NEO! She wants us to get your crew out of the way so her boss can come in and take over the racing scene and profit from it" Sky wept
"Why?" Weiss asked looking amused
"Because he figured that street mods were make him more money that drugs" Sky said
"What kind of street mods?" Weiss asked
"NOS, Turbochargers, neon lights, sound systems. Anything and everything legal or not" Sky finally said as he heard a cluttered on the ground
"There was that so hard?" Weiss asked
"N-N-No" Sky trembled as he collapsed
"Now be a good boy and run off back to mummy with what's left of your car" Weiss ordered as the blue hair raced over to hsi car and took off.
"Loser, how the heck did Dad think I was a good romantic match for him, huh?" Weiss asked herself as she went over to her Corvette and saw her phone had a missed call
"Winter, how long has it been" she softly mused redialling.
Yang stood in the doorway to Ruby's bedroom watching Ruby sleep like a mother would for her child. Yang was worried about her sister thanks to that e-mail, and secretly swore to get whoever sent it and make them pay big time.
"I'm back" Blake said walking in and putting her keys up
"You're back late out with Sun?" Yang asked walking out wrapping her white dressing gown around her
"You could say that I was at the school getting my engine checked" Blake said
"What happened?" Yang asked concerned
"I was in an impromptu race, against this green Lexus. Long story short I blew my engine chasing him" Blake said walking into the bathroom "Why does the bathroom smell like roses"
"Ruby had a bath and while I was preparing it I threw in a bath bomb" Yang said "She's been worried ever since that email"
"I know, do you think we should tell Qrow?" Blake inquired flicking her ears after having them in her bow for the day giving her some relief
"Not yet, we don't even know who she is" Yang said
"Alright, but we don't know how long she'll keep toying with us" Blake said
"As long as she doesn't harm Ruby then we'll be...for now" Yang said.
"You told her everything?" Cardin asked a trembling Sky "And then she practically killed your car?"
"Psycho bitch" Sky muttered
"Alright Dove we're up!" Cardin said walking over to his BMW
"Alright, let's go" Dove said walking over to his metallic golden 2008 Honda S2000 with Tribal tattoo like vinyls on the side and hood, and an Eagle in Vermilion on the roof.
"Let's drive!" Cardin shouted as they took off into Vale
"Shouldn't we go with them?" Sky asked
"Are you kidding! Your car is totalled and my target was taken down" Russel said
"Alright" Sky said lazing back and grabbing a can of cola.
"So who are we targeting?" Dove asked
"The sister Yang Xiao Long and Ruby Rose" Cardin said over the radio
"What! I thought Emerald took down Xiao Long" Dove said
"She did, we're just here to make sure she doesn't get back up" Cardin sneered
"Well we would be better attacking during the day" Dove suggested
"Good idea" Cardin smirked as he entered the car-park to a fast food place to get something to eat.
"Neo tell me something, do you think it was wise to bring in those fools?" Roman Neo's boss asked lighting a cigar
"I do, that way they will be no link to us" Neo said as she coughed trying to get rid of smoke before glaring at him "You don't know they will be on us soon"
"No worries, let this Cardinal gang take the fall and we shall not be targeted; after all I'm a reformed criminal" Torchwick said smiling "How I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" Roman asked as Neo looked in the rear-view mirror
"Now I catch your eye do I?" Neo asked bitterly
"Hey, don't get me wrong the boss is hot but your will always take my heart away my beautiful sugar angel" Roman said stroking Neo's cheek
"And you know I know those words are false" Neo griped.
The next day Yang had trouble getting Ruby up
"Come on Ruby, you have to get up Goodwitch is not someone you want to piss off" Yang said pulling on her uniform's vest before the blazer
"Don't wanna I'm...I'm sick" Ruby said faking a cough
"Why right come on, I'll race you after school" Yang aid adjusting her blazer
"Promise?" Ruby asked poking her head out of the covers
"I promise, cross my wires and hope my engine dies" Yang said lovingly
"Okay, is breakfast ready?" Ruby asked stretching
"Yep, Blake made porridge" Yang said
"What's that?"
"You know kind of like oatmeal" Yang said
"Oh okay" Ruby said grabbing her uniform.
"IceCreamLady21, don't think I heard of it" Pyrrha said as the group walked to homeroom together
"Yeah its been sent around, threatening people with different threats. Secrets would get out, hit on people. She's a major whacko" Nora said
"I think me and Sun have a slight grasp on who she is" Ren said as they saw Weiss looking on her tablet
"Hey Weiss, what's up?" Blake asked sitting down
"You mean besides ordering my friend a new engine, I interrogated Sky Lark last night" Weiss said
"Is he?" Nora asked
"He's still alive, his car is a another matter entirely" Weiss smirked evilly
"Wait, first Emerald, then Ruby getting that e-mail, Blake's engine blowing during a race with a green Lexus and one of Weiss old acquaintances returned. They're all to recent to be coincidence" Yang said
"Did Sky say anything we could use?" Ren asked munching on some peanuts before class
"All he said was someone called Neo and her crew want ours out of the way so they could take over the car market, namely aftermarket parts both legal and illegal" Weiss said
"Wait, did you say Neo?" Ren asked
"Yeah Why?" Weiss asked
"Because rumours are that a woman called Neo was seen with master thief Roman Torchwick. Who recently started a crew of drivers; my theory and hope to the highest heavens I'm wrong because it seems that means we have a major criminal after us" Ren said
"Dun dun dah" Nora said making everyone look at her. "Couldn't resist"
After school Yang and Ruby walked out to their cars as Blake headed over to Weiss' Corvette.
"Are you sure it's okay I go with you?" Blake asked
"Blake, you are my friend of course it's okay you come with me besides Ruby and Yang are going to race today" Weiss said as she got in. Blake sighed and got in as well, before seeing a black BMW and gold Honda
"Shit, Weiss!" Blake said pointing out the two guys
"No, no way is that Cardin Winchester?" Weiss asked
"Didn't he like run away?" Blake asked.
"What are you doing get out of the road!" Yang roared as Cardin stood leaning on his car
"Yang, Xiao Long and Ruby Rose we challenge you to a race, from here to the Diesel Cliffs" Cardin said
"Well Rubes you wanted a race" Yang said
"Alright let's do this" Ruby said getting in as Yang did the same as well unknown to them a green Lexus stood watching. However Blake caught them
"Weiss that was the Lexus I raced against" Blake said glaring at the car.
"Understood" Weiss said as the green Lexus parked next to them.
"Well they need someone to start the race" Blake said getting out "On your marks" she shouted raising her left arm, "Get set" raising her right arm before crouhjs while throwing her arms down
"GO!" Blake shouted as the four cars took off.
"The only road to the Diesel Cliffs is the Bayview Highway" Weiss said.
"Alright we should go" Blake said buckling her seatbelt as Weiss revved her engine
"Come on" Weiss said taking off.
Yang and Ruby took off the line faster than the BMW and S2000, who were lagging behind their targets. Cardin had targeted Ruby while Dove chose Dove. Ynag and Ruby quickly found the road to the Diesel Cliffs, they were worried that things would get out of control with teh amount of traffic on the roads.
"Shit" Yang said going for her phone and dialling before connecting it to a hands-free unit as it dialled
"Vale Police Department, how can I help you?" a receptionist said
"Put me on to Lieutenant Rose" Yang shouted
"Yes ma'am , one moment please" The receptionist said as she was put on hold, while she maintained a grip on her steering wheel weaving in and out of traffic, looking back she saw Ruby struggling to drive in the heavy traffic
"This is Qrow" Qrow said over the phone
"Uncle Qrow!" Yang exclaimed while watching both Ruby nearly getting wiped out and the upcoming traffic
"Yang ! What's wrong?" Qrow asked
"We're in a race to Diesel Cliffs via Bayview Road, my crew thinks these racers are linked to Torchwick somehow" Yang said throwing a sharp turn as Ruby passed her leaving her to deal with the enemy racers
"Okay I'll take a unit out there and wait for them, just be careful Yang, I don't want your folks after my tailpipe" Qrow said over the phone.
"Nor I" Yang laughed as she shifted gears
"But remember Yang this is an endurance run take it slower after all its not just a quarter mile to the Cliffs." Qrow said
"Got it, I'll see you out there" Yang said hanging up.
Back in his office Qrow grabbed his pursuit gear and headed out into the break room
"Okay High pursuit team, we have an illegal high speed race happening on the Bayview Highway. We need to intercept them and detain them. Also two of these racers have ties to Roman Torchwick. We catch them, they'll lead us to Roman" Qrow said
"Sir, you're Interceptor been prepped and waiting for you to ride" one of the team said
"Good now let's roll out!" Qrow said as he's team runs off to their vehicles. "Yang, Ruby please be okay" he thought getting into his custom built V8 car he called the Pursuit Interceptor.
"Sir! we got their location" an officer said
"Where?" Qrow asked.
Ruby was now in the lead with Cardin behind, a couple of seconds behind them was Yang trading paint with Dove. Ruby considering breaking to go and help Yang, that was until she was reminded about Cardin who was ramming into her,
"Get off my ass" Ruby said as she saw Cardin drive up next to her and go a bit wide. "What are you?" she started to ask before Cardin crashed into her making the car wobble a bit.
"Oh no" she gasped as she spotted a tree on her right as Cardin rammed into her side again making her drive into the tree at such a high speed. The car span around the tree until the driver's side face the ocean below. the car had taken some heavy damage, knocking teh doors out of their frames and torn the seatbelts off. Ruby groaned as the seatbelt slacken and the door was swinging open, she weakly opened her eyes and saw blue below here. She coudl barely hear anything slipping out of her Evo IX into the freezing cold waters below
Yang saw what had happened and could only to one thing
"RUBY!" she screamed.
