Chapter 11
Black stared at his own reflection in JNPRs window, his crimson eyes standing out the most. His jet black hair, messy as usual. The sun had already set and the city lights glowed in the distance.
He flicked a bit of dust on the windowsill and huffed to himself.
"How long did you say the girls were going to be?" Black asked still flicking specks of dust.
Ren looked up from his book called Key to meditation. Nora grumbled in her sleep next to him "They should be home in a few hours"
Black walked over to the couched and fell face first into it and proceeded unleash a muffled groan.
Jaune and Pyrrha were out on a training session. Black found that kind of suspicious, boy and a girl disappearing for hours. Black knew better than to believe they were training...why did he care?
God's he was bored.
He sat up and grabbed the remote to turn on the TV.
He switched the channel to his favourite TV show about some old man and his grandson going on wacky adventures.
Suddenly the show switched off and was replaced by BREAKING NEWS.
That was all Black heard he tuned out the rest as he was so fixed on what was on the screen. A highway battle involving a large robot and multiple people.
"Damn that looks like an awesome fight" Black muttered to himself.
"Hah, that's funny those guys kinda look like team RW...BY..." Black trailed off. Suddenly something clicked in his head.
Blacks eye twitched "Ren?"
"Yes?" Ren flipped page in his book.
"I'm going to get..some food"
"M'kay, you sure you don't want me to cook something?"
"Nah its all good" Black got up grabbed his bomber jacket and exited the room.
Once black entered RWBYs dorm he noticed all their weapons were gone.
His left eye was having spasm attacks.
"Mother..."
"F-!"

*meanwhile in the city*
Blake stumbled as she attempted to keep her balance on the truck she landed on.
She steadied Gambol shroud and took pot shots at the mech suit rampaging through the highway. Cars spun out of control left and right.
Neptune had impaled his trident into the mech and was holding on for dear life as the mech tried to shake him off.
"HOLD ON NEPTUNE!" Sun shouted as he jumped towards his friend.
"No wait!" Blake cried but she was to slow to stop him. Neptune and Sun were both sent flying from the highway.
"Those idiots" she muttered
"I'm in position!" Weiss leaped from the highway above Blake and landed in front of the mech while using her semblance to freeze the road, causing it to slide and tumble off the highway into a secluded area.
Blake and Weiss and Yang followed after the mech where Ruby was waiting for them.
The girls co ordinated their attacks as planned. Blake couldn't help but feel their training together payed off as she and Ruby managed to slice an arm off of the mech lowering its fighting capability.
The girls regrouped ready for another wave of attacks but that was all Torchwick needed for them all to cluster.
The mech fired multiple rockets towards RWBY.
Blake seen the rockets coming she was about to call out to her friends when a grey see through dome engulfed the girls.
Blake flinched as the wave of rockets exploded against the dome, it flickered for a moment.
A strained grunt came from behind.
Everyone spun around to find Black on one knee with his hands raised, with a strained face as if he were lifting a heavy object.
"What happened to being a team?"
—
"What are you doing here!?" Weiss yelled.
"What does it look like!", "now are you going to finish that robot off or am I going to die of exhaustion!?" Black grunted.
"Right, bumblebee!" Ruby yelled.
"We'll talk about this later" Yang gave a disapproving look before shooting off with Blake.
The dome disappeared and Black collapsed to the floor.
"That sucked" Black muttered to himself as he sat up and too his horror watched as the mech smashed Yang through multiple pillars.
"NO!" Black sprung onto his feet and pulled out his weapon. A small pole that quickly extended into a bo staff.
He was stopped by Ruby grabbing his arm.
"It's okay!", "it's her semblance!"
"Her semblance is getting beaten into the ground!?" Black gestured to Yang being pummelled.
"Sort of" Ruby replied.
"You guys are insane!" Black cried.
To Blacks amazement Yang got up but something was different her hair was glowing and her aura was emitting flames.
The mech swung at her once more but Yang caught the fist and with a single punch from her the entire arm dismantled itself.
"See!" Ruby gave him a 'I told you so look'
"I still think you're all insane" He chirped.
Blake jumped in and with her help combined with Yangs strength, Yang managed to destroy the entire Mech revealing the pilot.
"Wait there was a guy in there the whole time!" Black yelled.
The man with the bowler hat muttered something about cleaning the mech before turning to RWBBY.
Yang fired one of her gauntlets, the round sailed towards the bowler man.
Out of nowhere a figure fell from the sky in front of Bowler hat man and blocked the round with a parasol.
The new comer was a girl dressed in a white and pink jacket and half brown and half pick hair.
"Who's the cute girl?" Black whispered.
The bowler man smiled "Ladies, Ice queen, always a pleasure" he did a mock salute.
"Hey what about me!" Black shouted
"Neo, if you would.."
The girl called Neo did a bow and Yang took the opportunity to rush them and landed a hit buuut they shattered into pieces.
Black stared at the pieces on the floor confused till he heard an aircraft and looked up in time to see bowler man waving goodbye.
"Well darn, I guess they got away" Black kicked a piece of glass on the floor.
"Good job team!" He gave everyone a thumbs up but they all just glared at him apart from Ruby...Ruby gave him a thumbs up, Ruby was now his favourite.
"You..." Yang growled
"Could of gotten yourself killed!" Blake finished.
"Why do you never listen!" Weiss chipped in.
Black put a hand on his chin mockingly
"Hmm, well one, if I didn't intervene you'd all be dead by now blasted apart by multiple rockets, You're welcome by the way!" He did a mock bow.
"Oh and second I'm pretty sure Yang just got pummelled into a oblivion so don't talk to be about getting killed, WHEN YOU LITERALLY JUST GOT SMASHED
THROUGH LIKE FIVE PILLARS!"
Yang opened her mouth to reply but instead just said "touché"
"How did you know about this?" Ruby asked
"I saw it on the news" Black felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
"You saw us on the news, then how did you get here so quick?" Weiss wore a confused look.
"Enough questions let's just go home, I'm tired" Black grumbled.
On the air ship back home Black pulled out his phone it told him he received a text from an unknown number.
He opens the texted message...
UNKOWN NUMBER
You owe me.
I'll see you soon, Branwen.
Black didn't reply he switched off his phone and rested his head against his seat.
(What did I just get myself into)
