In the ruined parts of Vale, a motorcycle roams the streets as it cries to the air that hits it's surface. It's crying is caused by the owner, Yang, who is traveling alongside her friend, Pyrrha, that she forced into tagging along with. The two pace through abandoned traffic lights that lit up the dark streets of the town. Of course this worried the red haired teen, but not much since her concern was mostly focused on her safety then breaking a few laws. A part of her thought she was going to die or at least break a bone, but instead, it was a quick ride and a sudden stop at their destination.
After stopping, the blonde turned to her companion to see if she was okay. What she got was a crooked smile from her that could easily show her fear to the world. Without hesitation but a dash of fear, her friend took her helmet off the prodigy's head in a hurried swap and asked in worry, "You okay?"
"Why yes," The older teen responded in a shaking tone. "I'll be fine."
"That's good. Got a little worried there."
"Oh no," Pyrrha whispered while looking down at the cold dirty ground below. This caused Yang to look as well as her eyes inverted to broken glass. The broken glass of her beloved helmet. "I am so sorry."
A part of the goldilocks was kind of angered that she yet again underestimated her strength. But the other part of her really didn't care about it. It was just relieved that things were okay. For her and the passenger. "It's just a helmet, Pyrrha," She reassured before picking it up and setting it on the handle of her ride. "It's nothing pretty to get all worked up about..." As she got finished with those words, a blush spread through her face quickly, along with Pyrrha's, who also got the message. Before things could get more awkward though, the young teen continued, "We should get inside this club since Junior's here and all."
"Oh, um, okay..."
Inside of the Club, music blasted from everywhere as the DJ played songs perfectly to get ready for tonight. The henchmen of the owner decided to fix up the place for business while his partners, the Malachite twins, stand on the dance floor in boredom.
The boss of everything, Junior Xiong, fixed his cuffs while looking around at the sight of beautiful collision of red, black and white colors, the clearness of the floor, and the limited supplies of drinks he had possess. If things went well, he would have a worried free evening. Sadly, the possibility of that will soon become a thumbnail.
Suddenly, the peaceful scene was ruined by two scared henchmen that hurried into the bar to close the doors behind them. The sudden act was enough to make the owner shocked and angered as he yelled out, "What are you two idiots doing?!"
Before the henchmen could tell Junior what was happening, the doors were blasted down by an explosion that didn't nearly phase the man above. But what would soon come out of the ashes would. And what would that be?
Yang and Pyrrha.
"Now why did you break those doors like that," The red haired girl asked quietly. "You could've knocked at least."
"Guess whose back," The blonde haired girl called out to everyone while ignoring her friend idiotically and smiling with a pose. Sadly her execution didn't rub off the henchmen in a nice way since they aimed their guns at her pretty face. A face that wouldn't be destroyed under Pyrrha's watch since she also decided to take out her weapon in mere seconds.
As she kept her ground, the prodigy asked from behind, "I thought you said these guys are friends."
"Stop! Stop! Nobody shoots," Junior called out through the crowd while getting passed his goons to be face to face with the troublesome blonde and her comrade. "Blondie, you're here... Why?"
"You must be Junior, right? Hi, I am Pyrrha Nikos-."
"You still owe me a drink," Yang interrupted before grabbing her 'friend' and dragging him to the bar, leaving a saddened and confused red haired teen to follow behind them like a third wheel. By this moment, she had to ask herself, 'Was she the third wheel?' If so,
That was going to change really quick.
Meanwhile, the quiet teammate of team JNPR, Lie Ren, was sneaking around the corners of Vale to find the White Fang's hideout, to which was easy to find since nothing got in his way. Now all he had to do was put on his disguise, which were cat ears that looked almost real in a way. Then go inside, learn about Torchwick's plans so he can tell Winter, then go home and act like nothing ever happened. It was smooth sailing. That was until a certain someone decided to ditch orders.
Nora Valkyrie.
"Hello, Ren-," She almost yelled out loud to the boy's surprise before he swiftly put his hand over his partner's mouth with a look of startle on his face.
"Nora, what are you doing here," He asked calmly even though he was still spooked about the change of events.
"Nothing, just wanted to see how you were doing, that's all. Oh, and also team up with you to see what the bad guys are doing, yay!"
"No yay, Nora. No yay. You were supposed to be back at school, trying to find Weiss and bring her back to her dorm. Please tell me you did." The look on the orange haired girl's face, a derpy one, was enough to answer his question. And the answer he was given was not a good one as he covered his eyes in disappointment. "You didn't find her, did you?"
"Nope. But look on the bright side, now I can help you!"
With a long and stressful sigh, the black haired boy replied as he threw on his fake ears, "You can't leave now or they'll find us. So I guess you'll have to tag along. You got a disguise?"
"Yep, a tail," Nora whispered while showing off her orange tail to her best friend, who sighed once again.
"You planned this out, did you?"
"Yep."
"Let's just get this over with." With that, the two moved towards the entrance, getting the pass from the white fang member in front of them. As soon as they got in the building, they found a hallway filled with crates, one in particular had masks in them that they had to put on if they didn't want to be spotted. After putting those on, the two made their way with the new recruits to the stage where the meeting would start. They looked around to find the many members of the White Fang and soon to be members as well
"So, whose the lieutinent?" Nora asked nicely to Ren, who then pointed to a fully masked white fang member before a large sheet emblazoned with the bloody wolf and claw marks. The girl nodded in understanding before the man finally started to speak to them out loud in a accent,
"Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours! I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for so long!"
The person he spoked so proudly of made his way towards the stage to reveal who he was. And he was the key to Ren's side of the mission. The mastermind.
Roman Torchwick.
"Thank you, thank you! Please, hold your applause!" The orange haired man responded to the protest around him in a mocking tone.
"What's a human doing here?!" A fellow faunus in the crowd asked in anger, causing Roman to reply with a small and sarcastic,
"I'm glad you asked, "Deerie"! Now, I'll be the first to admit, humans... are the worst. Case in point. So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed! But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms! Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life! And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room."
With a snap of the fingers, the curtain falls to reveal his secret weapon. The Faunus applaud at the sight of the Atlesian Paladin-290 behind it, the mark of the White Fang painted on its shoulder. As for our two heroes in the room, Nora looked in awe while Ren looked in horror.
"Woah~," Nora cooled at it's sight.
"So this is what Ironwood was working on," Ren whispered to himself. "How come Torchwick's got one then? It doesn't make any since- The Atlas soldiers would be able to keep this in good hands. Something just doesn't add up..."
"As some of you might have heard, this right here," Roman continued as he tapped on the machine behind him. "Is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my 'employer', we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, 'hit the shelves'. Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?"
All the black haired boy could do was follow the recruits to his partner's surprise. She didn't question since she knows what Ren does is very tactical and is the right thing to do. So she follows quietly. Yes, the teen got his answers but more questions as well. And everything he was given didn't seem to add up. He had to get closer. It was risky.
But would soon be worth it.
Back at the club, Pyrrha watched from the sidelines as Junior takes a drink to the head and Yang watches in irritation. For some odd reason, the red haired girl felt as if something was off about all this. She could already tell Junior was not Yang's friend, but the way Yang presented herself, it was as if she was being protective of something. Probably work? Her teammates?
Herself?
No, that's pushing things too far. Before she could put her finger on it, she was stopped by a abrupt slam of glass on the counter underneath her, caused by the owner of the bar, who responded to Yang angrily, "I don't know."
"How can you not know," She questioned further.
"I haven't talked to him! I haven't even seen him since the night you first came in here. He paid up front, I lent him my men, and none of them ever. Came. Back."
"Oh my, did they die?" The prodigy asked in concern, making the man look at her with saddened eyes.
"I don't know... And besides, why would you care?"
"Don't bring her into your business, Junior," The blonde yelled out in a defensive way, silencing her friend and the boss in front of her. "You worry about me if I don't get what I god damn want!"
"Chill out! I already told you everything! Torchwick hired my boys, and I guess he wasn't happy with them, which is something I can relate to!"
Without words, Yang decided to grab Pyrrha lightly to leave until she lightly got out of the grip to ask calmly, "Your men never came back, right?"
"No..." Junior replied sadly while looking down at the floor.
"What did Torchwick need them for?"
"To be honest, to stock some things up for him and get some dust for something he was working one. He called it Phase one of her master plan."
"Her?"
"Yeah. Probably his leader or something."
"Is that all you know? Please be honest with me."
The man looked deep in green emerald eyes as he answered with a determined tone, "I swear that's all I know. Now. Can you please take your friend and go away?"
"... I promise," The older teen whispered to Junior quietly, getting his attention yet again. "I promise I will find out what happened to your men and tell you everything. If I find them, I will bring them back home. You have my word..."
The man couldn't help but at least throw a small smile at the girl before replying, " Thank you. Can't believe I'm saying this, but. Be careful out there."
"I will. And thank you. Hope your bar stays just like this. Until then, I will see you later, Mr. Junior." Finally, the conversation ended with Pyrrha following Yang by her side, who didn't even bother to ask what had just happened. That was until her friend nudged her playfully a few times to make a smile slowly erupt on her face.
"So you got the information?" She asked.
"Yep. He told me everything that I will be telling you on our way back to the school."
"Great..."
The older teen couldn't help but look at the younger one like she was in a trance. Her eyes always seemed to stang out to her along with her blonde hair. And that didn't occur only today. It occur everyday. Like a running clock, she would always stare at the girl like she was a statue and maybe feel like she was on cloud nine every time they talked. What was this feeling she always asked herself since then. And today, she finally got the answer. The overprotective actions, the caring conversations, the recoverys they gave one another. It said everything. This feeling. This special emotion they shared...
It was love.
All Pyrrha had to do now was wonder if it would actually work. All that could answer this question was with a smaller one. And when they got back to the school,
She was definitely going to ask about it.
Back at the White Fang hideout, Ren and Nora followed the new recruits towards the lieutenant slowly and peacefully. That was until there was a blackout that happened out of nowhere. The two heroes didn't know what was going on and could only hold one another's hands while trying to find a way out of this.
"Hold on to me, Nora," The young boy shouted through the chaos out loud.
"Ren, something's got me-."
"It's me, calm down and follow me to the window!" A female voice yelled out to the two as they made their way through the crowd and outside of the building. With the light from the moon, their savior was finally revealed to the city.
And that savior was Blake.
"What the hell were you guys doing in there?!" She asked harshly as they ran for their lives.
"I was trying to find you and figure out what Torchwick was doing!" Ren replied. "You?!"
"That's none of your business! You should've never interfered with my mission!"
Before this could escalate into a argument, the mechanized sound of running power signals the Altesian Paladin's activation, and it crashes through the wall of the building in pursuit of the runaways, who leap off of a car and manage to get on the roofs. The Paladin follows beside them on the street as the teens run, jump, and flip from rooftop to rooftop. Soon, the faunus took out her scrool to call for backup, telling everyone,
"Everyone, if you can hear me, we need backup-."
"Help!" Nora interrupted quickly in horror. "Big robot! And it's big! Really big! That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something!"
"Where are you guys," Yang asked through her scroll and before the orange haired girl could even answer back, her and her friends pass the blonde through the ruined streets, giving them a clear sign as to where they were.
"Just please hurry!" The three teens somehow make it to the highways, jumping down into the busy street and continuing their escape by hopping on cars while the Paladin follows them by pushing vehicles out of the way. Nora pauses to look at their pursuer's path of destruction and decides to taunt the Paladin before leaping onto more cars, much to the anger of Roman inside the robot.
Yang and Pyrrha are able to follow the mech suit on their ride, coming up next to it as it runs.
"We got to slow it down," The blonde told the red haired girl behind her out loud.
"I'm on it," The prodigy replies before taking out her weapon to aim at her enemy. But their enemy notices the pair on his sensors and crashes into a multitude of cars with his machine's strong bulk, sending them flying towards his chasers.
"Hang on," Yang yelled out, causing Pyrrha to hold on to her tightly as she swerves, leaning her bike to the side in avoidance of flying debris. Back on two wheels again, Pyrrha again takes out her weapon and aims as sparks start flying, and fires several bullets at the Paladin, causing Roman to grimace from the force of the attacks.
Switching strategies, Pyrrha flips the gun to sword mode then jumps from Yang's bike as she drives her weapon into the top of the Paladin. Ren, Nora and Blake pause in their car-hopping to look back. "Hang on, Pyrrha," Nora called out to her friend who held her ground.
"Just keep stabbing it! Go crazy," Yang declared, which to everyone's surprise, Pyrrha does with a yell as her sword penetrated the machine at lighting speed. "Not too crazy!"
Taking out his guns, Ren starts to shoot at the machine with all his might before telling Nora out loud, "You got your hammer, Nora, remember? So try to keep that Paladin far away as possible and get Pyrrha out of there,"
To which she replies with a good old, "Got it, boss!" Before taking out her weapon of choice and jumping towards the enemy. When she got close to it, she shouted for Pyrrha to jump but leave her sword inside it. She then followed the given orders as she flips off the robot to let her friend slam her hammer right into it, making the sword almost clash with Roman's so called beautiful face. But then he finally turns enough to send Nora flying off the machine. She thought she would hit the ground until she was caught by her red haired friend, who was using her shield almost like a skateboard to keep up with everyone.
As Blake looks on from her spot, she gets a call from Weiss, who tells her she is in position. She is seen twirling over a highway and landing in the middle of the road, holding Myrtenaster at the approaching Roman. He smiles as his robot charges at the girl, but Weiss spins and begins to plunge her blade into the ground. That was until someone else came into the scene and tripped it with their sword at a quick pace, causing it to land further down before Ruby and Jaune, who are both ready for battle.
The Paladin stands back up, and the rest of Team RWBY and Team JNPR falls beside their leaders to take up positions. Roman chuckles, moving the robot slowly towards the teens. Until he was stopped by yet another slash to the robot's back, sending it down to the ground and making his smile turn into a frown. Before he could see who it was, a firm female voice called out to him from above, "You know it's not alright to mess with young boys and girls. It makes you look dumb."
"Actually, that just makes you look like a pedophile," A male voice countered back, provoking the teens look up to the voices. The owners of those voices were enough to make some of them happy or confused as to why they were here. But one thing was for sure, Ruby seemed very pleased to find her and her friend there. Who were they?
Winter and Tukson, who was again, still disguised.
"Winter," The young red head called out happily to her love with a wave.
"Hello, Ruby," She replied back with a wave as well. "I see your plan didn't go out so well. I guess spying on you guys was a good idea."
"I-I guess so. Sorry."
"Don't be. The more, the merrier, right?" Soon, Winter's smile disappeared as Roman made the Paladin get up to look dead in her eyes. "Now I can tell you are angered, Mr. Torchwick, but sadly, I have to take you down before you cause any more problems."
"Oh yeah?!" He called out. "You and what army? Just your pet up there? A dirty unarmed faunus? Oh, I am so scared~!"
Tukson then shook his head with a frown before angrily speaking back, "Should've never called me that. Winter. Dust." With that, his partner gave him a red dust crystal to which he used it in the most surprising way.
He ate it. This only caused everyone below to look in horror at what the side effects were going to be. As for the older Schnee, all she did was watch as the man started to cringe in pain for a few seconds before roaring out into the sky, sending a few chills of fear down Roman and the teens spines.
"What the hell did you just do to him?!"
"She gave me a boost. As for you. A good old ass kicking," And with that, the male faunus flipped in the air to everyone's awe. Right before he dives straight towards the Paladin. At first, the young ones thought this man was making a death sentence since the machine ready a punch at him. That was until the man did the unthinkable. He hit the arm back in a flare of fire to the teens surprise before sliding to the ground with no worries.
"What the fuck-." Roman almost yelled in shock and fear until he was delivered a series of slashes from Winter, who also slid towards her friends and lover, who all had their mouths wide open. They were all lost at words at the moment. All except for Nora who could only sum up this whole thing in three words.
"That. Was. AWESOME!"
"Okay, Ruby, Jaune," The white haired woman continued quietly to the young leaders with a reassuring smile. "What are your orders?"
"Wait, you mean-." Before Jaune could even continue his sentence, Winter stopped him in mid-sentence.
"You started a battle, Ruby. And Jaune, you entered it along with me. You guys know what you're doing. Don't be afraid, okay? Just remember. You guys are Team RWBY and Team JNPR... So, what are my orders?"
The two leaders shared a light nod with a smile before the redhead ordered, "Winter, you back up your friend until I give the go for you to move out of the way." To which, earned a small nod from the woman before she ran towards the Paladin to help Tukson fight it off.
"Pyrrha, I need you to blast that thing with Ren," Jaune commanded them nicely. "Nora, I'll tell when to smash that thing with your hammer, okay?"
"Okey dokey," The energetic girl responded then ran off to the other side with the rest of her team. "Ready, Ruby?!"
"I'm Ready, Jaune!" She shouted out to him, finally getting them to get ready for action. Winter and Tukson continued to hit and slash at the machine with all they got, annoying Roman nearly to death and frustration. He tried to hit them, kick them, even capture them, but it was no use. It was like playing cats and mouse. Soon, the two stopped and smiled from a call from Ruby, causing their opponent to be confused at first before slamming his Paladin's fist towards them, making him miss. As the smoke cleared from the impact, he watched as Team RWBY waited for everything to be clear. Finally, the leader gave it a go with one word.
"Freezer Burn!"
Her and Blake jump back out of the way as Weiss performs her same ice-circle trick, but backs out of Yang's way when she jumps into the air and hits the epicenter with her Ember Celica, creating a wave of mist that surrounds Roman. Immediately, the Paladin activates its laser sensors to make up for the lost sight, but it barely sees the afterimage of Blake and narrowly misses the dashing Yang. A gun manages to fire at the area between Blake and Yang, but out from the blast comes Ruby, who slashes the metal with her blade, causing it to falter and make it easier for the rest of Team JNPR to shoot it in this state. It wasn't over yet though.
"Now! Flower Power!" Jaune yelled out, making Ren a little confused as to what it was.
"Wait, what-."
"Flower Power, Ren!" Nora shouted before smashing her hammer into the boy from behind, causing him to soar into the air while screaming in horror. This was soon stopped when he got an idea to slam into the Paladin with his weapon in melee form hard on it's back. This caught Roman's attention slightly, until the black haired boy quickly switched to gun mode and shoot into the machine rapidly. The enemy though he was the main threat, that was until the orange haired girl came running out of nowhere and jumping in the air to slam her hammer in then throws one of her missiles on it, making it bounce from the attack and causing it some damage.
"Checkmate!" Ruby shouted out loud, making Blake and Weiss go in this time, each girl going for the feet until Weiss jumps up and stabs a sensor before leaping off of a white glyph. Roman lifts the Paladin's foot to crush Blake, but Weiss summons another glyph under her teammate to launch her backwards before the crushing blow can land. Roman growls and fires off the missiles, but Weiss and Blake flip backwards as the explosions merely hit where they were.
Finally, Weiss jumps up too high, and Roman fires a double energy blast at her. Myrtenaster absorbs the damage, but Weiss is thrown back, so she casts a beam of light from her weapon to the ground under Blake, forming a yellow clockwork circle that's absorbed into the Faunus girl and lets her slice through each launched missile with ease in a flurry of super-fast slashes.
"Arkos!" Jaune yelled out while Pyrrha turns her weapon into sword mode and dashes at the machine with her leader from different directions. Roman doesn't know where to hit so he aims for the ground, only to watch Pyrrha throw her shield at Jaune, who blocks it with his shield to make it bounce. The prodigy then hits it back with her sword to make it hit one of the other sensors of the robot then back to Jaune, who hits it with his sword yet again to make it land right into the machine's chest. This gives Pyrrha the chance to jump up and along with Jaune and slam it right into it, almost going straight through Roman before he could dodge it in time.
"Stop trying to impale me, brats!" He yelled in rage before Ruby made one last move.
"Ladybug," This made Ruby shoot herself forward and cut at the robot's legs, then turn as Blake aims herself at the giant's feet as well. They both dash forward and attack at the same time, circling each other around the Paladin with each strike until they both launch themselves into the air and come down together on the shoulder, cutting off the left arm entirely.
The teens soon get back into positions and Pyrrha goes to retrieve her shield, but Yang doesn't waste a second, jumping onto the Paladin's back and punching the top with fiery shotgun blasts. Roman is knocked around in the cabin while trying to prevent his death throw loose cracks but seeing as he can't reach her with his remaining mechanical arm, he tries to run backwards through two columns only for the red haired teen to see and push the blonde out of the way yet not her, which leaves going through them and makes her embedded in a third before backing away and turning towards her. Just as she is falling down, the remaining arm extends a closed fist, and when it punches her, she flies through the column and doesn't get up.
"Pyrrha!" Yang calls out in horror as she runs towards the girl to find her knocked out. But in her eyes, she seemed cold. Breathless. Motionless. She might not have been dead, but in her eyes she was. Whether it was a scratch or a deep cut, this was near death to her. And it made something build up inside her. It made her feel crazy as if a flame was juggling in her stomach.
It made her enraged.
Yang slowly looks at her opponent, the one that hurt Pyrrha, hair burning a brilliant white as she clenches her fists. Sensing victory, Roman throws a punch, but she catches it in her own hand and, eyes red with rage, smashes her knuckles into the second arm, obliterating it under her force.
Getting desperate with his armless robot, Roman immediately kicks her to the side, but as she passes her sister and teammates, Ruby calls out one more attack.
"Bumblebee!"
Blake throws her Gambol Shroud out for Yang to catch while flying, and the Faunus uses the momentum to swing the glowing girl around for a final hit to the robot. Roman, however, steps out of the way just in time to avoid complete destruction.
"We have to slow it down."
"We got that under control," Winter replied. "Tyson. Snow Wolf V1."
With that, the older Schnee ran towards the machine while her partner dashed to it with his animal instincts. As the two started to get closer and closer to one another, Roman started to think of something to do. So he aims a fist at Winter, only for her to dodge it slightly with a twirl and slash hard at it's foot, letting Tukson deliver the final blow to the attack with a tornado like slash from his flaming claws, destroying one leg. Finally, Blake swings her partner around in a circle one more time, but with Roman unable to move, the Paladin is hit by the speed and power of Yang's fists, flying into the air before crashing down in a hundred pieces and a defeated criminal.
"Just got this thing cleaned," The orange haired man said while he cleaned his suit off from the dust that picked up on it. He looks up just in time to see the blonde haired girl, still burning with her absorbed power, fire a single shot at the defenseless thief, but he's saved at the last instant when the two-toned girl seen before drops in front of him and merely opens her pink umbrella, deflecting the blast entirely. The new arrival hangs the weapon over her shoulder as Roman addresses the victors.
" Ladies, Ice Queen, Ice Empress... Always a pleasure! Neo, if you would." The man asked politely as the pink-and-brown girl curtsies her enemies with a bow, but Yang will have none of it, charging forth with fists raised to strike the outlaws... only to break their image as if made out of a mirror and turn just in time to see them escape in a Bullhead. The rest of team RWBY runs up to Yang's side, now cooled down with the end of the fight.
"So I guess she's still his henchmen, huh?" Winter asked before turning to Tukson for a answer, to which it was,
"... Yeah. Guess some things haven't changed..."
Suddenly, Yang snaps back into reality and remembers what caused her to go crazy. Pyrrha. So she runs towards the red haired girl to see if she was okay by holding her up and trying to shake her awake while yelling out, "Pyrrha! Are you okay?!... Pyrrha, please wake up!"
It didn't take a while until emerald eyes opened up to lilac ones slowly as a smile crept up on both of their faces happily. The prodigy then asked in a shaking tone, "D-Did we win?"
"Yes. Yes we did... I'm just glad that you're okay though..." After that, the blonde held her friend tightly as she hugged back in a loving way. The teens stared at the scene until the older teen realized and gently broke it so they could reunite with the others. When they all cooled down, Jaune decided to ask Tukson, "Hey, how were you able to do that with dust?"
"A story for when you're older. Sorry," He answered.
"Well, either way, that was so cool!" Nora cheered. "You was like, kapow! And HUA! And all like a ninja!" She continued to act crazy to make a point and everyone just couldn't help but enjoy looking at Nora being... Well, Nora. As for Ruby, she watched for a second before realizing that Winter was far alone looking at the moon above. She wondered if something was wrong. If there was a problem, she wanted to solve it with her no matter what. So she approached the woman and held her hand tightly to make her smile. "Isn't it beautiful?"
The redhead looked at what had the older Schnee's direction and found something astonishing. The moon. But not just any moon. A full moon. And man, was Winter right, she thought. It was one of the most beautiful sights out there. "Yeah... I've never seen one like it," She replied, causing Winter to turn to her along with her smile to disappear.
"Ruby. You're cut on your cheek."
"Huh? I am? If I am, don't worry about it-." Before she could get more words out, her love licked the cute delicately to catch whatever left over blood was there. The feeling was kind of off if it was someone else. But this was her girlfriend, the young one thought. It just felt so right. She wanted it to be like this forever. But sadly all good things must come to an end. So after she licked her cheek, the Schnee kissed it lightly before hugging the young redhead tightly with a relived sigh.
"You know... It's beautiful.. But it's not as beautiful as you. Ruby..."
"Yeah. The same thing goes to you, Winter," The young leader turned her head to have her silver eyes connect with her love's blue ones. And with that, she just couldn't help but touch her cheek lightly. "You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Nothing can compare..."
"Ruby..." Suddenly, the conversation was cut short when Tukson came and stood on the other side of his partner, who let Ruby leave the scene to her friends with a light kiss on the lips before leaving. He was going to say something until he asked, "Wait, how do you know Ruby?"
"Oh. She's my girlfriend." She answered quietly only to make Tukson freeze in place. He thought for a while. Winter was dating Ruby. Winter was dating Ruby... Winter was dating Ruby! And before he knew it, he was freaking out like someone who just lost their car keys. The Schnee soon caught on to the screaming faunus as she held him up before he could fall and faint. "Easy, Tukson!... Easy..."
"I-I'm sorry... It's just. I can't believe you're dating someone like Ruby!"
"Yeah, I tell myself that everyday. That I sometimes don't think I deserve such a cute bundle of joy."
"Does she know about-."
"No..."
"Are you going to tell her?"
"Soon, but for now. Let's just relax and let life just guide us wherever it wants us to go, 'kay?"
"Fine, kiddo..." Silence kicked into the air as both of them stared at the source of light above them. That was until the man finally blurted out, "I wish Romeo was still here..."
"... Yeah... He could've loved this... So, you gonna check up on Blake?"
"How did you-."
"Don't ask... And don't worry. We'll talk later okay. But for now. Just relax..."
"... Okay. See ya later, kiddo." With that, the big guy slowly walked away from the scene towards the kids only to pass out on Jaune after finding out what he just learned.
Winter was dating Ruby.
The white haired woman saw what happened so she went to help the two boys with the situation. As she did, Weiss just thought it was the perfect time to get something off her chest. Something that she's been thinking of this whole time...
"I guess that girl from earlier really made our plans... fall apart!"
And because of this, Ruby and Winter giggled at the same time while everyone else just thought the pun was stupid. Soon their giggles turned into chuckles. And those chuckles turned into laughs. Weiss honestly thought the pun wasn't that funny. But maybe it wasn't the pun that made them happy. Maybe it was the fact that they were all together. With no worries in the world. Just having good times and making the best of moments out of this day. And that alone...
That made up for a good laugh.
