Here it is! The finale of Infected Rose! Its been a good run, and I have loved writing it, and you guys have been huge inspirations to continue the whole way along. But its not over! Due to being beaten by a stuffed bear until I agreed, Infected Rose: volume 2 is coming out probably around the same time RWBY volume 3. so watch out for that because its going to have everything you loved about his one, plus more! More bad jokes! A few good ones! More action! More romance! Yes, volume 2 is going to have a main pairing. And of course, more plot development! So watch for that around the end of Death Duel 2. Now lets get on to the final chapter, of Infected Rose: chapter 10; making amends, and kicking ass.

AFTER EDIT NOTE 2: I rewrote this again because I read it afterwards and found out that the way John and Sarah got together was so cringey to me, it hurt. Even though I had already redone it. Yeah.

Weiss was deep in thought, she had been since last night. It had taken all the make up anyone had in the dorm to cover up the bruise, and it still showed a little bit.

"so John actually bitch slapped Weiss!? Gee whiz, I had no idea he had that in him. She must have really crossed a line with him." Frost asked in surprise.

"well, its been all weekend. That's why were out here looking for them. But I've never seen John so angry. Not even when Cardin crossed lines with him. Something must have happened inside that portal..." she said, thinking the last part out loud.

"well whatever it is, I hope we find him." said Sarah. When she had heard what happened with John, and now Blake, she had insisted that she come. He had once comforted her, and she thought it was only fair to return the favor. or that's what she kept telling herself anyways.

"I'm sure we will." her team leader Carter Loyde said reassuringly. then she smirked. "after all, it isn't often you get to hook up with the hottest guy around!" she said, teasingly.

"i-its not like that!" Sarah burst out, red as a tomato.

Hearing all this behind her, Weiss continued thinking about the situation at hand. She had crossed more than one line, and it was true that John was the most selfless and honorable person she had ever met even though he was a fauness. Even though humans made his life hell...

John Diamond Rose POV

I lost control. I let my anger take over, and now I've screwed up big. I shouted at her, a lied to get my point across, and then I hit her. She had some of that coming, but still I need to apologize. But how could I face her after that? Says the man who faces demons, crime lords, dragons and zombies. am I getting soft or something?

"so you want to know more about me?"

finally, she speaks! Almost two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks. And no offense, John but you haven't exactly been a social king either." said Sun who was drinking coffee from the cup he held in his tail.

Blake gave him a glare from her spot at the table, and I nodded my head in understanding. "yeah, like that."

"Sun, are you familiar with the white fang?"

"of course. I don't think there's a fauness on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid holier than thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch a freaks if you ask me."

"I was, once a member of the white fang." Sun choked on his drink, and held his hands up.

"wait a minute,youwere a member of the white fang?!"

"that's right. I was a member for most of my life actually. You can almost say I was born into it. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the white fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and the fauness. Of course, despite being promised equality the fauness were subjected to discrimination and hate."

"humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the white fang rose up as the voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist."

"then, five years ago our leader stepped down. And a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks, setting fire to shops that refused to serve us. Hijacking cargo from company's that used fauness labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals"

"but not out of respect. Out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. And instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a huntress. So here I am. A criminal hiding in plain view. All with the help of a little black bow." she wiggled her ears underneath moving the bow back and forth.

"so, have you told your friends any of this?" she looked down and closed her eyes. That means no in Blake language.

"I know my sisters. As it is, they likely wont even care if your still in the white fang. They're probably worried sick about you right now. If you told them what really happened, I know they would understand. And I had a small 'talk' with Weiss before I ran off as well, so if were lucky maybe she'll be more considerate." they looked at me questioningly when I said talk and made air quotes with my hand.

"I hit her. There was also some language." I admitted, with a little shame. Blake's eyes widened a little bit and Sun choked on his drink again. "But that is besides the point. Blake isn't the only one who has untold secrets, and I suppose now is as good a time as any. As you know, I am a fauness."

"well that isn't a secret, we all know that."

"I am part Enderman."

"...what?"

"an Enderman is a 7 foot tall creature that can teleport and lift a large block at a time of any material no matter the weight. They are like bee's, as they follow the orders of the hive mind, which is either a dragon or the most powerful creature of darkness in the area. They have also been known to be capable of travel between dimensions"

"so what your saying is...your a Grimm fauness, of an extinct type of Grimm. I can see why you would keep that a secret"

"well, that would make sense, except for the fact that Enderman aren't native to Remnant, and neither am I." Blake nearly fell out of her seat, and Sun choked again, spilling the entire beverage and eventually falling out of his chair.

"I'm from the other side of that portal. what I'm saying, if that was too vague for you, is that I am basically an alien"

"so what your saying is, if we hadn't destroyed that portal you could have gone home?"

"do you...see me different than you did before?"

"are you kidding dude? You just became 20 percent more awesome!"

"it is surprising to say the least, but you are still the same person" I sighed in relief. Thank god they accept me. and if they accept me, than my sisters will too.

"but John, don't you have friends back on you planet?"

"time passes differently there. Technically, I have been alive for 59 Remnant years. Everybody I knew is undoubtedly dead now. Besides, all I ever had there was war. Here I have family"

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

"Blake!" Ruby called out as they walked along the sidewalk searching for John and Blake. Sarah had split off to get food for everyone, since it was dinner time. "John!"

"guys, where are you!? Weiss, your not helping"

"gee, I wonder why that is? But you know who might be able to help? The police!" sarcasm? That was below her. 'John is rubbing off on me too much.' she thought.

"uhhhh, Weiss!" Ruby half whispered angrily. "what? It was just an idea"

"yeah, a bad one"

"Weiss, I think we should hear their side of the story before we jump to any conclusions"

"yes, and I think when we hear it you will all see I was right"

"and I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today" everybody jumped around and saw Penny following them.

"aagh! Penny where did you come from?"

"hey guys! What are you up to?"

"we're looking for our friend Blake and our brother John"

"oooooh, you mean the fauness couple"

"wait, how did you know that?"

"uuh, the cat ears?"

"what cat ears? She wears...a...bow" everyone went silent, and a tumbleweed rolled by.

"she does like tuna a lot." Ruby thought out loud. her brain had only caught part of 'the fauness couple' and when it caught up to her brain, she said; "wait, couple?"

Yang burst out laughing, and Weiss just rolled hers eyes at the thought. Then they had a minute to think about it. He was always interested in what she liked to read, he always did his best to have a conversation with her, they had run off together, they were both fauness...

everyone went silent again, and another tumbleweed rolled by.

"so where are they?"

"we don't know, they've been missing since Friday."

"'gasp' that's just terrible! Well don't you worry, Ruby my friend. I wont rest until we find your team mates!"

"that's really nice of you Penny, uh, but were-were okay. Really. Right guys?" they were both gone, likely to 'get food with Sarah' down the street. A tumbleweed rolled by again.

"it sure is windy today"

"yeah, Penny. I noticed"

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

man, its windy today" John commented as the three of them walked down the street and a news paper flew by. followed by... A TUMBLEWEED!? the hell?

"so what's the plan now?"

"I still don't believe the white fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much dust before."

"what if they did? I mean, the only way to prove they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there. Right?"

"the only thing is, I have no idea where that would be"

"oh yeah? Watch this." I pulled my scroll out of my back pocket, and speed dialed a number I had gotten from Weiss in return for not making a Weiss joke for an entire week.

"John, who are you calling?" I held my finger up, and listened to it ring.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

in the small restaurant where Yang, Weiss, Sarah and now Frost and Sky were eating discussing where John and Blake might be, Weiss' scroll rang, and she picked it up. "hello?"

"yes, ms. Schnee? This is the TLGA vale police department. We need to ask you some questions about the dust shipment robbery a couple nights ago."

"a couple nights ago? That shipment was supposed to arrive tonight at 7:59!"

"...you don't say. Any reason for that that you could think of?"

"no, but 'click' DID YOU JUST HANG UP ON ME!?" she yelled into the microphone forgetting for a moment where she was. She sighed after a moment. then she realized something.

"...TLGA?"

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I put my scroll away, and smirked. "boom. Done"

"nice man! But, what is the TLGA?"

"Totally Legit Government Agency. It comes in handy when you need a quick cover. It sounds official so most people believe it" he chuckled. then face palmed when he realized how stupid it also was, and that it worked.

"anyways, there's a big shipment of dust coming in today"

"I heard the same thing while I was on the ship. Its pretty huge, and its straight from Atlas."

"how huge?"

"huge. Big Schnee company freighter."

"your sure?"

"we both got the same thing from different sources, one being from a Schnee. Pretty damn sure."

"hmm. If there's that much they would bring extra men."

"on it!" I shouted, pulling out my scroll.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

'ring ring'

Frost pulled out her scroll, and answered the call. "hello?"

"hey Frost, now before you start.."

"why the hell are you just calling me now!?"

"BEFORE. YOU START. I would appreciate it if you would not tell any of team RWBY or Sarah about this. I don't want them worrying anymore than they are."

"...this sounds dangerous and stupid. fine, go ahead."

"I appear to have found myself in need of a sniper, and backup. Interested?"

"you know more than anyone I can't turn down a chance to shoot something. Where should we be?"

"docks. No kill shots, just making sure, and stay out of sight." then he hung up. I grabbed Sky, and moved for the door.

"we have sudden business to take care of. See y'all later!" she told everyone, dragging off a confused Sky and leaving everyone else just as confused.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

"there, we have backup. Anything else?" no one said anything. "good, then lets get going!"

the dock...

"this has been an hour of my life I will never get back." I said. Nothing had happened at all since we got here.

Sun jumped down beside us, his arms full of apples. "did I miss anything?"

"not really. They've offloaded the freights from the boat, now their just sitting there."

"cool. I stole us some food."

"do you always break the law without a second thought?"

"hey, weren't you in a colt or something?" she gave him a death glare.

"okay, too soon" suddenly, pressurized air blew down on us, no doubt from an airship. Several spotlights lit the place up like day, and more airships joined in. they landed, and the one in the front opened first.

A man wearing the telltale uniform of the white fang walked out. "oh no"

"is it them?"

"yes. Its them." the rest came out, followed by a man in a black cloak that covered his entire body. I used infecta vision on him, and power as well as darkness was rolling off him like waves. He was clearly in charge here. The second in command spoke.

"alright, grab the tow cables!" his subordinates rushed to do as told.

"you really didn't think it was them, did you?"

"no, I think deep down I knew. I just, didn't want to believe it." one of the lower ranked men pried open a crate, and brought a sample to the man in the cloak. On the way, he dropped it, and the dust blew up at the mans feet. the cloak fluttered around his feet, revealing the extemely old looking boots he wore. He was unharmed, but clearly angry.

"INSOLENT FOOL!" he shouted in a deep booming voice. "GET ME ANOTHER BEFORE I USE YOUR ENTRAILS TO DECORATE MY FRONT GATE!" he shouted, picking the man up off the ground by his throat before dropping the man and leaving him to quiver in fear.

"he's a bit extreme. But something tells me he wasn't kidding" I said.

The other airships opened, and out of one came Torchwick himself. "their working together..."

"hey! Whats the hold up? Were not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, SO, why don't you animals try to pick up the pace!" he shouted.

"this isn't right. The white fang would never work with a human, especially not one like that" Blake said, standing and unsheathing her blade from her cleaver.

"hey, what are you doing?!" she jumped off the roof, and stealthily ran to the site. I followed after her, slightly less stealthy. She snuck behind Torchwick, and grabbed him, putting the blunt end of her blade to his neck.

"what the- oh for f-"

"nobody move!" the cloaked man raised his hand as if to do something, and I rushed him, putting my blade where his neck should be. "this is how you take a hostage, Blakey. You put the sharp end on their throat. Its much more threatening"

"whoa, take it easy there little lady. And whats with the swords?" men surrounded both me and her.

she ignored my criticism, and reached up taking her bow off. "brothers of the white fang! Why are you aiding this scum?!"

they seemed to lower their weapons when they saw we were fauness. "kids, didn't you get the memo?"

"what are you talking about?"

"the white fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together."

"tell me what it is or we'll shut down your little operation" the cloaked man threw his head back in hysterical laughter. It echoed across the extensive loading bay. I saw a glint in the distance on top a freight. a sniper scope... Frost is here.

"oh, I wouldn't exactly call it alittle operation." he said with a grin as three more airships flew down. Using that as a distraction, Roman adjusted his cane, and blew the ground beneath Blake the hell up.

She went flying back, and sniper fire filled the air, several people collapsing at once with blown out kneecaps. "yeah, our operation isn't exactly small either, smart ass!" I shouted at him. A huge billowing smoke cloud rose from the ground, and my hostage pulled a scythe out of his cloak while I wasn't looking and pried Custos Angelus away from his neck.

Explosions reigned dominant where Roman and Blake battled, while gunners aboard the airborne ships pinned down Frost. I rushed at the cloaked man, slashing upwards at an angle, and he blocked it with the scythe and punched me in the face. I charged a special, but he vanished into thin air before it reached him. Huh?

Whatever. I rushed to help Blake, and saw Roman shoot Ruby off a roof. "SONOFABITCH!" I screamed, rushing him.

"what the- oh come on!" he fired at me, and I only blocked each hit with my aura shield as I ran. Overhead, giant green lasers cut two airships in half. I jumped into the air, my sword raised above my head going for the kill. Or serious injury. Depends on how good his health plan is.

At the last moment, a man at least 18 jumped in front of me, blocking my sword with a finely crafted blade of his own. Roman ran for an airship, while the rest of the other airships were taken down by Sky's lightning, and that Penny girl.

The man who had stopped me from harming Torchwick was almost an exact copy of me in figure, but had black hair and glowing white eyes. My dream! That means he's the one behind the portal attack. I narrowed my eyes, and tightened my grip on Custos Angelus.

He wore a tight fitting black shirt and pants that had black painted chain mail woven right into the fabric. and It left little to the imagination as it was skin tight, showing a lot. His boots were well made, but made out of leather with iron soles melded to the bottom for grip. And his sword struck me as familiar.

"FINALLY! The great general John Diamond, face to face." he said with an almost sadistic grin. "you have no idea how much I am going to enjoy killing you!"

he pulled back, and slashed at me extremely hard, almost breaking through my defense, and making me slide back a bit. Wow, he's strong. He jumped away, and pulled out a potion of swiftness, downing the bottle. He threw the empty bottle at the ground, smashing it.

I pulled out a dust fragment and bit down on it, then activating shadow enhancement. I felt my heart rate increase, and my aura triple. "that's it!? pathetic!" he shouted at me.

"you know, I would love to insult you back right now, but I'm afraid nature did a far better job than I can."

his expression twisted in anger at my insult. We ran towards each other, and he went at me as if he would lose something precious if I didn't die. The back and forth clashing was so fast it almost wasn't visible. his speed was incredible! even IF it was enhanced by a potion. and his strength even more impressive. but he seriously lacked any gracefullness or strategy.

I blocked another hit from above, and formed Sponsum Mortem in my right hand, and stabbed him in the stomach. He punched me in the face, and slashed me across the chest creating a long scratch on my chest plate, and part of my leg. Had I been wearing my old armor I would be dead. We each stepped back, our injuries healing. we stood our grounds for a second waiting for the other to make the first move.

He attacked again, and I parried one strike, and slashed him in the leg, and then kicking him in the face. He slashed at my head, and I shadow stepped behind him, and drove my sword towards his heart, but he spun around, punching me in the face. He jumped away, and screamed into the night, and his sword began to give off a hue of red light. elsewhere, everything stopped as they heard it.

He rushed at me again, and now his blows had much more strength behind them. Time to take this up a notch. (ha ha! Notch. Minecraft joke!) I shadow stepped away into the air, and threw a shadow bomb at him, knocking him into a crate denting it severely.

He rolled back onto his feet, and charged. "DIE! DIE DIE DIE!" he screamed as he unleashed a furry of fast and deadly blows upon me. I deflected each, only receiving a scratch. I retaliated with my own series of blows, then charging my sword while shadow stepping, and then unleashed it.

He blocked it, and It pushed him back, sending him sliding away on his feet but did no real damage. He jumped at me and I shadow stepped above and behind him, shadow fire punching him into the ground creating a crater. He got back up, and turned to face me again. he rushed me, dodging my first attempt at decapitating him, and narrowly missed impaling my leg. I slashed his chest with Custos Angelus and using the Fire Aspect to set him on fire.

he screamed, this time in pain, and he threw himself into the water. he came shooting out a second later, landing behind me. I spun around just in time to block his attack, and we stood there pushing against each other. I watched as his burns slowly healed. "that's a nasty little enchantment there! mind telling me how you did that?"

"fuck you, that's how."

"shame. I suppose the secret will die with you then!" he shouted, jumping back again, and then charging at me. I shadow stepped to him once he was halfway to me, and sucker punched him in the stomach with a Shadow Fire. he went flying back, into a stone wall, sending large cracks all the way down. he recovered immediately, and prepared to fight again.

I pulled out my enhanced bow, and pulled back an arrow back. The furiously flaming arrow shot forward so fast it broke the sound barrier when I released it, and having almost no time to dodge, the Brine tried to dive away, but it hit him in the shoulder sending him spinning through the air back into stone wall, demolishing it this time.

He got right back up again, and wiped some black blood out of the corner of his mouth before dropping back into a combat stance. I pulled another arrow out of nowhere, and pulled it back. I released it, and this time he reacted quickly enough to slice the arrow in half. he really is fast!

"you know what, fuck your arrows!"

"hey! don't get fizzy with me or I'll blow my top!" I retorted. he groaned so loud at the pun it gave me a headache. then he screamed a battle cry as he charged, and the bow disappeared into nothing. I shadow stepped into him, crashing my fist into his chest and at the same time releasing a shadow bomb. With the combined force of the two, he shot at the speed of a bullet right through both stone walls of the building behind him and rolling to a stop close by to the newly regrouped good guys and police minus WY and Sarah.

He picked up his sword from the ground, and a sadistic smile spread across his face as I came out of the building.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" he started shouting, and raised his sword above his head. It began glowing with an aura of red and black. "DIE!" he shouted, lowering the sword so it was pointed at me, and it shot out a gigantic black and red blast of energy.

I put up my aura shields, being the only thing in the building to survive. All the dust around me exploded in a miraculous display of colors, probably alerting the entire continent. The bubble around me began to crack as the destructive energy began eating through my aura shields. I could hear him cackling evilly outside. The cracks were everywhere now. Suddenly, I heard a gunshot, and the energy dissolved just as my shield shattered. way too close for comfort.

Ruby had shot him in the back. The bullet wound healed, and he spun around and glared at her. "you bitch! I could have killed him!"

"that's the idea!" she began shooting at him more, but he deflected each bullet with his sword. I pulled out Umbra Ignis, and let three arrows fly. I hit him in the shoulder, the leg and the knee. I could make a Skyrim joke here, but that's below me. He cried out in pain, and pulled out the arrows.

"get away from them!" I shouted, my tone promising pain.

he ran at me, running his sword along the ground as he went shooting sparks out behind him. I sidestepped his downward attack, kicked him in the back of the knee, and put him into a headlock. And then I snapped his neck. I let him fall to the ground limp, and crouched down to make sure he was dead.

His eyes snapped open and his head twisted back into place. "surprise!" he grabbed me and slammed me into the wall, choking me with a smile on his face. I formed a stabbing weapon with my right hand, and shoved it into his side. He faltered for a second, and dropped me.

He fell to his knees, and began coughing up blood. He pulled out a pinkish potion, and dumped it in his mouth. He punched me in the chin, and I grabbed his head and slammed it down onto my knee. Then I punched him in the chest with both hands so I could get Custos Angelus. No such luck. He threw a roundhouse at me, and I caught it, and kicked him in the face. He flew back, landed on his hands, and pushed himself farther back, landing on his feet. I shadow stepped behind him, and shadow fire punched him in the spine.

It threw him to the ground, and I shadow stepped away again as he tried to spin himself around and knock my feet out from under me. I appeared next to Custos Angelus, and picked it up. He stood up, and grit his teeth. Ruby pointed Crescent Rose at him in its gun form again, as well as everyone else with a ranged weapon. He looked around and knew he was outmatched.

"rrgh! We will meet again, White Knight! And next time, you will die!" he swore, before the cloaked man appeared, grabbed him, and disappeared again. I relaxed, and dispelled shadow enhancement. "John!"

"Ruby! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm okay. Where are-"

"JOHN!" an angry looking Weiss shouted. She must think we were responsible for this. and by we I mean me. "oh dear god, hide me!"

her eyes landed on me and Blake, and she made a beeline for us. "look Weiss, its not what you think! Blake explained the whole thing and you see she-"

"not in the mood, Ruby" Weiss said on her way to Blake. Maybe she's forgotten about me. "and don't think I've forgotten about you, John" DAMNIT!

"Weiss, I want you to know I'm no longer associated with the white fang. Back when-"

"stop! Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? 12 hours."

"its been two days!" I told her.

"shut up! 12 hours. That means I have had 12 hours to think about this. And in that 12 hours, I have decided... I don't care."

"you don't care?"

"you said your not one of them anymore, right?"

"no, I haven't been since I was younger-"

"ah bubup! All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your team mates. And not some... someone else."

"of course" Blake told her. Weiss nodded politely. "yeah, team RWBY is back together!"

Weiss turned to Sun and pointed a finger at him. "I'm still not quite sure how I feel about you." he laughed nervously.

then she turned to me. You could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. "AND YOU!" she shouted at me.

"you had better have a damn good reason for this!" she must be really angry if she actually swore.

"what the hell did I do?" she pointed an annoyed finger at the burning crater where docking bay storage warehouse #4 and 50 metric tons of dust used to be.

"oh. Uh, heheh. Send me the bill?"

"grrrrr! How did you even do that?! Not even Yang could have destroyed that much city property in the span of 8 short minutes!"

"he probably blew it up with a shitty joke." Frost joked. Sky was behind her, trying to contain his laughter.

"how long have you been there?"

" a minute, give or take."

"...help me. Please." I begged.

"I think you should take it up with your girlfriend" wait, what? Sarah shot into me from somewhere in my blind spot, and it took me a minute to realize I was being hugged. I shrugged, and hugged her back.

She pulled back, and punched me in the arm. With a knife. "OW! Why?"

"that's for almost dying on me. Twice. Without saying goodbye." fair enough. My wound healed, and she hugged me again, tightly.

"Johns got a girlfriend! Johns got a girl-" I activated my aura shield and pushed Sky out of the dock entirely. "don't ruin the moment!" I warned.

"AHEM! We are all still here, and so is the problem at hand! And I'm not done with you yet!" Weiss shouted.

"Technically not, because the warehouse isn't there anymore." I joked, in a last ditch effort to cool her off, no pun intended. She just continued to give me a glare that promised death.

I sighed in defeat.

"okay, do with me as you will" I told her.

"I'm...sorry. You were right, I had no right to accuse you and Blake of what I did. Even though I was right in her case, it wasn't my place to say it" her apology took me by surprise. I honestly expected a coffin for my troubles.

"apology accepted. But its me who should be apologizing. I overstepped my bounds when I hit you. I lost control, and I am sorry for that."

"friends?" she asked, holding out her hand. I shook it.

"friends. It will still take time for me to trust you again, though"

"And it will take some time for you pay that bill" She said, narrowing her eyes again. I laughed nervously, and gulped. all of a sudden my wallet felt incredibly light.

"yay, everybody's friends again, and John and Blake aren't dating! Wait, where's penny?" I looked around. Weird, I can't see her. She can't have gotten that far. Calling it now, that woman is a robot or some crap.

"wait, you guys thought we were dating!?" me and Blake said incredulously at the same time.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Ozpin stood in his office watching the footage of the fight at the docks. He was getting more and more suspicious of the humorous, not really, boy who lived. But more interesting by far was his enemy. Glowing white eyes, clearly insane, and he called John 'general' and 'white knight'.

His message icon beeped, and he tapped on it bringing up a message from Qrow. 'Queen has pawns. king is making his move.'

boom! Well, that's it until the next volume of RWBY. Maybe not until RWBY volume 3 ends, but not likely. Anyways, see ya'll later, Eh?

Oh, and don't forget to leave a review. LV, out!

Roman Torchwick walked into to the table outside, and set down the only amount of dust he had been able to recover. "damn kids..."

"how very disappointing, Roman"

"whoa! Wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon."

"we were expecting more, from you."

"hey, you were the one who suggested working with those stupid-"

"I would advise you to choose your next words carefully" a deep voice dared him. A man drenched in a black cloak practically melted out of the shadows. His younger sounding accomplice appeared behind Cinder leaning against a wall smiling anxiously. His white eyes pierced the darkness, and almost looked like they were pulsating, making them that much more creepy.

"-mutts from the white fang." pleased with the answer, he backed away.

"and you will continue to do so. We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is, a little cooperation." she said, lighting a fire in her hand, and by extension making her eyes glow threateningly. "now run along. We have work to do"

without thinking twice, he was out the door in a second. Cinder turned to speak with the cloaked man, and he melted out of the shadows once again. "I apologize for my incompetent workers. I hope this will at least be enough?"

he moved to open the case and smiled behind the cover of his hood when he did. Inside were a few dust crystals and two tubes of the powdered form. "this sample will be plenty, my dear." he said, taking a crystal in his hand and removing his hood to get a better look.

His eyes were a blinding white in the darkness, putting most search lights to shame. He smiled ear to ear as he inspected the red glass like material. "yes, this will do just fine."
