The Ice Queen's Knight
'Thoughts'
"Normal Dialogue"
Chapter 11
"Your sister's here? I thought you said she was always busy." Richard asked as the pair began walking to the landing strip.
"Well apparently there's something here that she needs to do." Weiss answered back.
"Or she just came to see her sister." Richard offered.
"Unlikely." Weiss responded as the pair walked on.
As the pair continued the heiress pushed everyone and everything out of their way. The boy was pulled along with wide eyes as he had never seen his girlfriend this forceful to get somewhere. As they approached the landing strip Ruby had seen them and joined along, also wishing to meet the heiress's sister. Clearing the crowd the group saw four Atlas robots. Facing the robots stood a girl about Yang's height with white hair. However it was not left to hang like Weiss's and the clothing was white and suited a Atlas Specialist.
"Winter!" Weiss yelled, as the group was in shouting range.
The older Schnee turned to see her sister and two others running up to her. "Winter I'm so excited you're here. I haven't seen you in such a long time. What are you doing here?" Weiss talked fast and excitable.
"Classified." Winter replied quickly.
"Of course." Weiss began, regaining her composure. "How long are you staying for?"
"Classified. However I am not here to see my own blood lose in battle." Winter spoke with a cold chill. Her words caused Ruby to be confused and Richard to grow increasingly angry.
"But we won." Weiss retorted.
"Only a novice would call that a victory. I counted three missed strikes." Winter continued.
'How can she talk to her own sister that way!' Richard thought.
"Wow tough crowd." Ruby said, trying to lighten the mood.
Winter then held her hand up and the two Atlas robots standing behind her moved back. The elder sister let out a sigh before speaking. "How are you?
"Oh I'm doing well. I'm the best in my sparring class and my rank in other classes is rising-" Weiss was cut off as her sister slapped her head.
"I didn't ask how you rank! I asked how you are. Are you eating right, have you made new friends?" The elder Schnee corrected.
"Well there's Ruby and Richard." The heiress replied, motioning to the red head scythe wielder and her boyfriend who was trying to calm down.
"Haha yeah but Richards not just your friend." Ruby said with a snicker.
Weiss's face grew red with anger as Richard just facepalmed. "Oops." Ruby said with a small smile.
"What does she mean by that Weiss?" Winter asked with a cold stare.
"Well um what she means is….."
"I'm her boyfriend." Richard said, stepping forward and grabbing Weiss's hand.
"A boyfriend….Does father know?" Winter asked.
Weiss merely shook her head and looked down with a red blush on her face. "Ms Schnee." Richard began. "If it means anything Weiss is the most amazing person I have ever met. She has changed my life so much and I would never do anything to hurt her."
Weiss looked up and at her boyfriend. He had a confident look on his face and shot the girl his usual smile. A small smile appeared on the heiress and she squeezed the boy's hand. "Very well. Weiss we will talk about this later. Anyhow I have some time now, show me to your dorm."
With that the Schnee sisters began walking towards the castle with the Atlas bots, while Richard and Ruby stayed behind. "Ok that's great! We will see, I mean, we will reconvene with you at a later…..um, juncture! Yeah juncture." Ruby said.
"Ruby I worry about you sometimes." Richard said walking away.
"Hey i'm not the one dating the ice Queen." Ruby said, catching up to the boy.
The Schnee girls continued on toward the castle until they heard a rumble behind them. The two turned to see two dismantled Atlas robots, one of which, head was rolling towards them. Standing next to the dismantled robot stood a man with dark messy hair. He had red eyes and a gray shirt to go along with a red cape. "Hey." The man began. "Yeah I'm talking to you Ice Queen."
"Excuse me!" Weiss shouted as she walked over to the man. "Who do you think you're talking-"
"Sh-sh-sh." The man said, pushing Weiss away. "Not you. Her." He finished looking at Winter.
"You know that was Atlas property?" Winter asked the man.
"Oh was it? All I see is sentient garbage." The man replied.
"I don't have time for your immature games Qrow." Winter replied coldly.
"Wait you know him?" Weiss said, moving next to Winter.
"You Atlas specialists think you're so special. But your only sellouts, just like your boss." Qrow began.
"Be quiet!" Winter yelled.
"He got to where he was today because of Oz and all he did in return was turn the council against him." Qrow continued.
"Did he say Ozpin?" Weiss asked.
"Weiss it's time for you to leave." Winter told her sister.
"Listen to big sister Weiss." Qrow spoke again.
"Enough of this if you won't be silent I will make you." Winter said, drawing her sword.
Qrow merely stood in place and egged the girl on with his hand. The elder Schnee raced forward with her sword and sent strikes at the huntsmen. Qrow merely moved his head around to avoid the attack and bowed allowing the sword to clash against his. The huntsman pulled his sword out and began to fight back. A circle of students formed around the fight as the two combatants flew around making strike after strike.
Ruby and Richard entered the inner circle next to Weiss and saw the fight. "What's happening?" Ruby asked.
"Some crazy guy started attacking Winter." Weiss explained.
"Oh no who should do such a…..OH MY GOD THAT'S MY UNCLE! Kick her but Uncle Qrow!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Teach him respect Winter!" Weiss yelled to counter.
Richard just stood there looking at the guy who apparently delivered him the letter from Ozpin. "And who are you rooting for?" Weiss asked angrily, breaking the boy out of his thoughts.
"Umm go Winter?" Richard said more like a question.
"Ugh, you're lucky you're cute." Weiss said as she turned back to the battle.
"I'm cute?" Richard said with a smile.
Walking past the circle of students Mercury got a glimpse of the action and stopped. Looking closely at the man fighting his eyes went wide and he ran back toward the school.
Back in the fight the two were going back and forth rarely connecting with anything other than the opponent's sword. As Qrow missed a strike Winter was able to land a handle hit on the huntsmen's face. Shoting his face back around he sent the elder Schnee flying back and onto the castle walls. Winter then began running across the wall as Qrow jumped onto the wall opposite the girl and began taking shots at her. Missing one and bringing up a cloud of dust the man stopped and looked onward.
Winter shot out from the dust and crashed into Qrow. Causing the two to crash into the ground, creating a crater, and sent the man flying back into the circle. Winter summoned a speed glyph behind her and took a stance to shoot forward. Qrow began to unlock his sword but looked behind the girl and smiled. The sword stopped separating as the huntsmen put it on his back and again taunted the girl with his hand. Winter shot forward and stopped a inch short of Qrow when she heard. "Schnee!"
The Atlas Specialist turned to see General Ironwood with four Atlas guards. "What's going on here?"
Winter stood up straight, putting away her sword before speaking. "He started the altercation sir!"
"Actually she attacked first." Qrow said, poking his head out from behind Winter.
"Is that so?" Ironwood asked. Winter then had a look of pain on her face as she looked down to the ground as Ozpin and Glynda walked up from behind Ironwood.
"Come now everyone, I can assure you their are better fights going on at the festival around the corner. And with popcorn." Ozpin spoke.
"Everyone clear out!" Glynda yelled as she began to fix the crater in the ground.
"Schnee with me." Ironwood spoke clearly as he, Winter and the Atlas guards marched toward the castle.
Ruby, Richard and Weiss fought their way back into the inner circle in time to see the group leave. Ruby then jumped at her uncle and clinging to his arm screaming. "UNCLE QROW! Did you miss me!? Did you miss me?!"
"Nope." The man said with a smile.
"Qrow a word?" Ozpin asked as Ruby fell off the huntsmen's arm.
"I think I'm in trouble." Qrow said to Ruby.
"You did blow up our courtyard." Ruby replied.
"Yeah I did. Catcha later kid." Qrow finished with a fistbump and walked away with Ozpin.
"Now I see where you get your recklessness from." Weiss said as she and Richard walked to Ruby.
"You're just mad cause he kicked but." Ruby teased.
"That was a draw at best! Right Richard?" Weiss said, turning to her boyfriend.
"Um….sure. Let's go with that." The boy responded.
"Ugh you dunce." Weiss said as she pulled the boy toward the castle.
"Ruby help me!" Richard screamed as he was pulled away.
"That poor boy, the only thing that scares him is the girl he loves." Ruby said as she broke into laughter.
Up in Ozpin's office Ironwood and Winter stood waiting. The elevator then opened to reveal Glynda, Qrow and Ozpin. "What do you think you were doing?" Winter asked bitterly.
"If you were one of my men I would have you shot." Ironwood finished for the elder Schnee.
"If I was one of your men I'd shoot myself." Qrow replied nonchalantly, pulling out a drink.
"While I don't agree with his behavior, retaliating certainly did not help." Glynda added in.
"He was drunk!" Winter retorted.
"He's always drunk!" Glynda shot back.
The group then heard a drinking noise as they turned and saw Qrow pouring his drink into his mouth. The huntsmen looked at them and shrugged his shoulders. Ozpin's jaw hung ajar as he shook his head and spoke. "Qrow what are you doing here?"
"Letting you know our little infiltrator is here." The man replied.
"We know." Ironwood said sadly.
"Oh you know! Well I'm glad I'm out there risking my life to keep you all informed!" Qrow began then pulled out his scroll. "You see this?" He said pointing to the screen. "That's the send button."
"They had reason to believe you were compromised." Winter spoke up.
"And I have reason to believe you don't need to be here. I mean seriously who invited her?" Qrow said back.
"Schnee we will discuss this incident back on my ship." Ironwood said to her.
"But-"
"Winter." Ironwood said sternly.
Winter merely saluted and turned to the elevator. Crow shot the girl a wink as she walked by. When she left Ozpin spoke up. "What do you have for us?"
Later sitting at the table for dinner were the members of Team RWBY and Richard. The boy was rolling his shoulders trying to ease the pain. "Did you have to hit me that hard?" He asked.
"Well next time be more decisive." Weiss replied.
"Weiss he's already going to be in enough pain during the next round, you didn't need to add to it." Yang said.
"Speaking of which am I going to be able to fight Nurse Schnee?" RIchard asked, getting a laugh from the other girls.
"Assuming I don't break your ribs for that joke yes you will." Weiss retorted with a evil smile.
"How it is you are scarier than living by yourself for 10 years?" Richard asked.
"Because I care about your well being." The heiress replied, leaning her head on the boy's shoulder.
"Geez Weiss you're in a good mood today." Yang commented.
"I mean minus that whole incident with your uncle today has been a pretty good day." Weiss said back.
"Well I hope your ready for our match tomorrow." Ruby stated.
"Of course. We may be facing a Atlas team but I have no doubt Yang and I will win." Weiss said cockily.
"There's my girl." Richard said while playing with the girls hair.
Weiss quickly sat up and slapped the boy's arm." Dunce! What have I told you about my hair?"
"I can't help it, you're adorable." The boy replied while grabbing his arm.
"Seriously what has happened to you two?" Yang began. "You have changed so much in two weeks."
"They have each other now. Sometimes when you find that someone, you become who you really are." Blake finally spoke.
Yang looked over to the couple. They were having a mini argument but what surprised the blonde were their eyes. Never looking off the others and filled with love. Something she had never seen in Weiss's and could assume we're never in Richards. "Yeah I guess you are right." Yang said as the group continued to stare at the couple.
The next morning was filled with rush. Team RWBY was preparing for their fight as the four and Richard arrived at the arena. Team SSNR did not have a match today so only the heiress's boyfriend came to cheer the girls on. Standing in their tunnel waiting to get called in the group shared a pep talk.
"Ok you two, we have the utmost confidence in your victory." Ruby began.
"Come on Ruby this will be a cakewalk." Yang said back, putting her arms behind her head.
"Don't underestimate your competition Yang." Blake said.
"Don't worry we got this! Right ice Queen?" Yang teased with a smile.
"Don't call me that." Was all Weiss said.
"Competitors enter the arena!" Oobleck yelled through the microphone.
"Well good luck girls!" Ruby said as she and Blake walked away.
Richard pulled Weiss into a hug before leaving. "Good luck." He said while planting a kiss on the girl's forehead.
The boy turned to leave but was pulled back around by the hood as Weiss pushed her lips against the boy's. Richard eyes went wide before closing and wrapping his arms around the girl's waist. Weiss in return wrapped hers around the boy's neck and lifted her leg back. Separating, the heiress gave the boy a slight smile. "I needed my good luck kiss." She said and walked back to Yang, leaving the boy dizzily walking back to the stands.
Yang shot the girls a sideways glance with a cheesy smile. "What?" Weiss asked.
"When's the wedding?" Yang said back.
"Shut up." The heiress said as she walked into the arena with Yang following.
