Hey guys, now before this chapter starts, I have an announcement to make. So, if you've been following this story for a while, you'll know that after I'm done with this story, I'll be writing a new story, that's not part of this mermaid time-\ line. So, while I was thinking, my brother mentioned The Walking Dead, so I figured, I'll make a RWBY Walking Dead fan fiction. Anyway guys, that's all I wanted to say, let me know what you guys think. Enjoy.

A white rose under the sea

Chapter 11

Ruby looked up at Weiss. "What do you mean? My mothers dead. I'll never see her again." Weiss shook her head "We mermaids are owners of very powerful magic, which is amplified with theses Moonstones. To the point where there have been accounts of people returning from the dead." Ruby looked at the Moonstone, wondering if Weiss was telling the truth. While she had no reason to not trust Weiss, she also knew that even if magic was real, why would Weiss do something like that.

Ruby looked at Weiss, silver meeting blue once again. "If I help you, can really bring my mother back? I want that more then anything." Weiss nodded. "If we win this war, and find the remaining Moonstones, I might be able to bring your mother back." Ruby looked at the Moonstone, it's pale light shining on her face. "I'll have to talk to my crew." Weiss nodded. "Okay. Here" Weiss handed Ruby a crystal, smooth as silk, and as blue as the ocean. A sapphire bigger, and more beautiful then Ruby had ever seen. "Should you ever need to talk to me, hold this in your hands, and think of me. I will come." With that said, Weiss returned to the warm waters of the pool.

As Ruby looked towards the mermaid, she saw Weiss's body begin to glow. "Weiss, wait. How will you find me? How will I find you?" As Weiss disappeared, Ruby heard a voice. "We are linked to the water, you and I. I can always find you." Weiss vanished from Ruby's sight, leaving Ruby speechless.

As Ruby made her way back to Crescent Rose, she thought about what Weiss had told her. Could Summer really be brought back to life? Was it worth entering the war with the White Fang? Could it really be done? As she boarded her ship, Ruby was meant by Yang. "Ruby, what happened in there? Where's the mermaid? Where did you get that sapphire?" Ruby told Yang everything, about Weiss's magic, the importance of the Moonstones, and Weiss's promise. As Yang went over everything in her head, they both looked outwards towards the sea. "Do you really think she can bring mom back? Is that even possible?" Yang turned to meet her younger sister's gaze. "After learning that magic and mermaids are real, I would say that opens a lot of things that we would normally think impossible." "Yang's right. Maybe this Weiss was tell the truth."

Both Ruby and Yang turn around to see Blake, Nora, Ren, Pyrrha, and Jaune behind them. Ren spoke up. "If this is what you want Ruby, then I'll gladly go with you. War or no war, we've trusted you this far. I'm willing to go the rest of the way. Nora will to. Right Nora?" Nora nodded "Hell yes. I've wanted to fight the White Fang for years now. Fight them and save hundreds of innocent people, how could anyone not say yes." Jaune spoke next. "I agree with Nora. The White Fang needs to be stopped. I'll help you however I can." Lastly, Pyrrha spoke. "I'll help you in anyway I can Ruby. You helped us when we need help the must, now its time for us to return the favor."

Ruby smiled. She raised the sapphire to the moon, and thought of Weiss. As soon as she did this, she heard splashing below her ship. As Ruby looked over the starboard side, she saw Weiss there, the pure moonlight lighting her face. "Weiss, we'll help you in the war with the White Fang. The Crescent Rose will fight along side you and your people." Weiss smiled. "Then hang on to something. This will be a bumpy ride." As Weiss said this, a massive whirlpool suddenly appeared below the Crescent Rose, and brought it down to the depths of the sea.

Alright, that's the end of this chapter. Now that Ruby and the others are now fighting the White Fang, I'm gonna start to do more fight scenes now. Anyway guys, like I said before the chapter started, I am going to be doing a Walking Dead RWBY fan fiction after this is over. I plan to make this around 20 chapters long. Anyway guys, let me know what you thought of this chapter, let me know how you think me next fan fiction should go, and as always, I'll see you in the next chapter
