Chapter 10: Snow Storm

The group of four managed to make it to a little alley a few block from where they had fought the white fang. The group had decided to take a break and decided to discuss their plans. "So what are we going to do now," Neo asked. "They don't seem that strong but if they attack in large numbers it may force us to not hold back at all." when this was said all of them had a negative opinion of what she said. Weiss thought she was referring to having to kill them while Yang and Ruby knew she meant having to use their flames in public.

Weiss pulled out her scroll and said, "Let me call my father and see if he can provide a way out. Though I doubt he cares." She mumbled the last part but Ruby managed to catch it and looked at her with concern. She dialed the number and waited for him to answer the phone. After a few rings she got an answer, "Hello." "Hello father it's me and I have had a situation," Weiss said in a tone you would expect from a soldier reporting to their superior.

"I am aware of the situation it has been already reported on the news," He said. "Now why did you run away? It made the Schnee's look like cowards who would not face their enemies head on."

'Like you would' Weiss thought in her head he would sooner throw a baby in the way of an attack then defend said baby. "I was concerned about innocents getting caught in the battle, and wanted to go somewhere we could battle without the risk. We seemed to have lost them for now and we wanted to know if you could have some of your security officers help us reach a safe location," she said.

"I guess I could believe that excuse this time. Unfortunately all security officers are busy at this time and cannot spend the time watching you. You will have to rely on the vale police department for protection till it is time to return to atlas," he told her. He then hung up the phone before she could respond.

'So instead of having one of your men come help me you would rather they all stay and protect you' Weiss thought in her head interpreting her father's words. She turns to the others and says, "He says the security guards are busy at the moment and he can't release on to help us." The others could all notice the angry tone in her voice but decided not to ask about it. "He said we should contact the police for assistance," she continued before she notice the looks they gave each other. "Is something wrong with that?"

"Well you see," Ruby started to say not sure how to tell Weiss.

"Vale cops are dumber than shit. And that is actually more insulting to shit than it is to them," Neo said in a blunt tone.

Seeing Weiss look of doubt Yang decided to explain, "The vale police department does a horrible job when it comes to actual police work. They can dress up and act the part in public but in all honest ninety percent of all crimes solved or prevent is done by the students of beacon or actual huntsman. The ten percent they solve or prevent is petty first time criminals who commit the crime right in front of them."

"Even then half the time the criminal gets away anyway," Ruby said in a dejected tone. She didn't want to say bad things about the cops but it was all true. Even her father had told her that if she got lost or was in trouble run to a huntsman or beacon student even if the cops are closer.

Weiss was about to call them out on their words till she saw across the street a group of three teenagers spray painting graffiti on a wall while right in front of them was two police officers talking about why they are here. Seeing the kids walk away Weiss waited for the cops to notice the spray painted walls and was shocked that neither one noticed for about five minutes till one said that the vehicle that passed them looked like a puma and the other one hit him in the head saying it did not look the big cat. When he did he turned his head and was shocked to see the graffiti and telling his partner to look for the culprits while he went in the opposite direction.

After this scene Weiss could only turn her head towards the girls to see them nodding their heads at that being a common scene and then saying, "Okay the cops are obviously out. They are more likely to shoot us by accident than actually protect us. Do you three have any ideas?"

"Well we might not want to stay in vale since white fang may have a few Faunus with them that could track you or give away your location if they see you so maybe we should head to patch," Ruby suggested.

"Wow Ruby never knew you moved so fast," Yang said knowing her sisters preferences. "Wanting to bring home a girl you just met."

This caused Ruby to blush bright red and Weiss to follow soon after when she realized what the blond meant. This caused Yang to laugh at them and miss the angry stare Neo was giving her. "YANG that was not what I meant. I just thought that we could avoid them by staying on a small island like patch where they would be noticed if they were to appear. Not to mention we would have dad and uncle Qrow possibly to back us up."

"I guess you have a point but how are we going to avoid being spotted by the white fang or any of their supporters on our way to the air station," Yang asked.

"Simple Neo uses her illusions to keep us hidden," Ruby says.

"That's not as easy as it seems. If they were human no problem but it is harder to fool Faunus thanks to their animal senses. I would need to use Mukurou to make an illusion strong enough," she said while glancing at Weiss. The other understood what she meant but Weiss was confused.

"What is Mukurou is that the name of your weapon," she asked. It was not unheard of for hunters to focus their semblance threw their weapons to improve focus and control. The deputy headmistress of beacon Glynda Goodwitch being the perfect example of this. So why would I be a problem if she focuses her semblance through her weapon.

"No my weapons name is Mary Poppins. I guess we don't have much of a choice but please wait to ask questions till we get home," Neo said. She would have argued more but she could not think of any other option than her illusion and if they waited too long they could be found by the white fang. She focused her flames on her ring as she pulled out her box and inserted it.

Weiss was about to ask about the weird colored flame appearing on the ring when she saw something she could not explain. The box opened and out of it appeared an owl with flames surrounding it and wearing armor. Before she could ask about it Neo said, "Cambio forma version X" this causes the owl to become covered in flames till it merges with Neo's weapon creating a Khakkhara with a flame like tip and text circling around it as well. Neo waves the weapon around them and Weiss can see the flames surround them. "There we should be invisible to all their senses. Can we hurry I don't know how long I can hold this." Weiss wanted to ask questions but Ruby and Yang grabbed the back of her shirt and dragged her away with Neo close behind them.

They managed to make it to the air bus station just before it left for patch. They used the automatic passes they had on their scroll to get on and waited for it to take off before they found an isolated corner and Neo dispelled the illusion and Mukurou returns to his box. Seeing this Weiss asks, "What was with those weird flames or that owl that transformed Neo's weapon."

"You see long before the Grimm there was a group of people who discovered the ability to use their resolve and create a flame. These flames come in one of seven different types. Sky, sun, mist, rain, cloud, storm, lightning. Each of these flames have their own unique property that we can explain later. When the Grimm appeared so did a pathogen that killed all the flame users causing the knowledge of the flames to die out in all but a select few. A few years ago I found a box connected to one of the strongest group of flame users. Further explanation will have to wait till we get home," Ruby said.

"How do you summon these flames," Weiss asked in curiosity.

"Well at first we thought we needed a ring to summon them but Neo proved that you didn't need one. The best way we found is to search inside yourself and find your strongest resolve. After that focus on that and pretend that it is a small fire that your will is the logs you are using to feed the fire to. As the fire grows focus the fire towards a focus point like your hand or better yet a weapon since you are new at this," Yang explained in a serious manner. Usually she would have made a joke out of this but she knew when it was time to get serious and when is a time to joke around.

Hearing this Weiss closed her eyes to concentrate. She started to search for her strongest resolve. The first thing she thought about was taking over the SDC and fixing her father's wrongs. She saw a little fire start from this but it was not enough to start the blaze she needed. She started to search within herself but had a hard time finding her true resolve. She kept trying to think of upholding the Schnee name and proving herself to her father, but none of that worked. She was about to scream in frustration till she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked at it to see that it was Ruby's. She was about to speak before Ruby interrupted, "Don't think too hard on it. just think about what Weiss Schnee wants to do."

What does Weiss Schnee want to do? Weiss tried to come up with an answer but it all escaped her. All she ever thought about was upholding the family name or proving herself to her sister or father. She never once thought about what she wanted. As she tried to think of it all that came to mind was she wanted to prove she was not like the rest of her family? She wanted to prove that she was Weiss Schnee and not just another Schnee. As she thought this she could feel the raging fire burning within her. She tried to focus the flames towards her weapon Myrtenaster. At first she thought it wasn't working till her bade was suddenly covered in blazing red flames. She was admiring the flames till she noticed something else. "What are with these other flames," She asked.

The others looked closely at the weapon and noticed that with the strong red storm flames was a yellow purple and blue flame along with green lightning. None of these were as strong as the storm flames but were still clearly present. "WOW Weiss you have five different types of flames. Your primary is clearly a storm flame but you also have Sun, rain, cloud and lightning flame as well that is incredibly rare," Ruby said in shock.

The four spent the rest of the trip talking till they reached patch. They decided to have Neo create another illusion as they made their way home just to play it safe. When they made it home they found a message from their father saying he got a sudden mission and won't be back for a while. This surprised the girls since he usually gave them a heads up if he was going on a mission. They also wondered why there appeared to be damage around the woods by their house. Taiyang would not normally train around the house to prevent causing this damage so they wonder if something happened. They decided to wait till he got back to find their answers. The four would spend the next two days getting to know each other and train together not knowing that their toughest fight is yet to come.

What was the mission Taiyang got sent on and what was with the damage to their forest. These questions won't be answered right away unfortunately.
