Hello everybody! Haha! Man, I'm so tired. So action sequences are not my strong suit so if it's all just sounds like crap, I understand. Hope you enjoy and I'll see y'all at the bottom!
Yang's PoV
I shook my hair out after pulling the helmet off. Good Witch and several atlas robots are waiting for me to join them. Good Witch has a questioning look on her face.
"I hope Miss Belladonna is right for the sake of your teammate." She says pushing up her glasses. " Winter is on her way with reinforcements."
"Good, cause we're gonna need all the help we can get. Blake, Ruby, and Sun are heading this way as we speak."
She nods then commands the androids to spread out and look any signs of life. Good Witch and I stick together as we walk up and down the once lively town. Now filled with decay, death, and Grimm. We watch each other's backs and keep ours open for anything.
The sound of a hovercraft hums the air. The wind is so powerful it pushes my hair in one direction and having to cover my eyes from the dust with an arm.
Blake and Sun jump down from the craft followed by little Ruby falling into Sun's arms. The hovercraft disappears just as fast as it appears.
"Nice of you guys to drop in," I say, snickering at my own pun in my head.
"Good, now that we are more prepared. We're going to set up a premature and search. Two on a lookout, along with some of the androids and the rest of us will keep our eyes open for any clues. Blake, Sun, you two take the first lookout. Yang, Ruby and I will keep searching."
Sunsets Rubes down and pulls his gun chucks. Blake pulls out gambol shroud and is sent off to scouting duty. Ruby comes waddling up to me and takes my hand.
"Yang, keep a good eye on your sister." Good Witch says. "We don't need anymore missing students."
I give her a two finger salute and we start up our search again.
Blake's PoV
Something isn't sitting right in my gut which is never good. I knew something bad would I had sensed it, but why didn't I say anything about? Yang and Ruby are extremely open-minded about me being a Faunus, so didn't I trust myself to tell them something didn't feel right? Guilt was eating me alive. I was perched on top of a building overlooking the town. Not much movement came from my side; Sun said he was clear on his side as well.
'Why didn't I tell them? None of this would have happened if I had just told them? About how I felt and that I knew the White Fang was going to come after Weiss soon!'
Rage and self-hate festered inside me now. I growl to myself. "How can I be so stupid! How could I let my teammates down!?"
I needed a distraction from my thoughts and guilt and I had found one. Yang is waving me down, calling up to me saying she's found something.
I easily hop down from the building and join Yang.
Good Witch and Sun are standing at the edge of a cave. The mouth of the cave is man made from bombs and c-4.
"You guys think this it?" Yang asks.
Ruby speaks up after a long silence from her. "Only one way to find out."
Good Witch if first to walk in the Sun then Yang and Ruby followed by me. We all are swallowed up by the darkness.
Weiss' PoV
Blood dripped from my lip, limbs throbbing with pain. My left arm is fire and I'm a hundred percent sure my leg is broken.
Gruffy was taking a break at the moment which gave me a breather. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. My crumbled body sat in the corner of the room. My eyes full of tears.
Psy is sitting a rested chair. Arms and legs crossed. He never looked at me. He didn't want to look at me.
"This is how they treat us." Psy finally spoke.
I turn my gaze to him. My lips were pinched in a thin line, eyes narrowed. "Do you really think I don't know how my father is treating the Faunus in the mines?" The question is harsh.
Psy doesn't reply, doesn't look. It angers me for some reason, thinking that he had the right to tell me that my father is a crazies power, hungry man.
"I know he treats the Faunus like animals. He's cruel and careless." My voice rises. "He's a man who cares about nothing and no one unless he gets what he wants!"
I exert the rest of my energy. Lungs were now working overtime. Dust, everything hurt.
I gave a weak chuckle. "It's funny now that say that. I used to tell myself that he loved me every time he missed a residual or that when he got angry and yell. I would say he's been busy at work and it can be stressful." My throat is sore, voice hoarse from speaking. "But I realized at a young age that he's a monster… I think that's why I wanted to become the heiress of the company. To fix what he had destroyed."
Psy Scoffs. "That's a loud shit."
A brow raises on its own. "Excuse me, but do you know a girl by the name of Blake Belladonna."
Psy' face morphs into a look seriousness and finally looks me in the eye. "The coward that ran? Yeah, I know- knew her."
'Good, we're getting somewhere.' I thought. "That coward is on my team. She helped me open my eyes a little more to the Faunus world."
Psy shoots up from his chair. "She's nothing but a trader!" He roars. "Nothing more and nothing less."
I didn't flinch at his outburst. I was too tired. My bones and body aches and burns for rest. The door opens. It's not gruffy luckily; I don't think I can last another beating. The White Fang sounds concern when he asks Psyto 'Come check this out'.
Psy only nods and leaves, slamming the door behind him. I'm left alone in the dimly lit room, broken and tired.
Ruby's PoV
I behind my sister who is in a fighting stance. Her gauntlets click into combat-ready form, Good Witch has her crop at the ready, Blake's gambol shroud in gun form, and Sun with his staff. Several White fang members are at the ready. Their weapons held high and prepared to fire.
A man comes walking up from behind them. He's scrawny and twig-like. Glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, a scowl on his face.
"What is the meaning of this?!" He demands.
Yang was about to give a snappy answer but Good Witch cuts in. "We know you have taken Miss Schnee. If you would kindly hand her over we will leave in peace."
The man's eyes narrow. "I'm sorry, but no one is leaving. Kill them." he's cold when he speaks, not batting an eye at the offer from Good Witch.
Gunfire rings out and bullets twinkle in the cave coming from both ends. Everything is thrown into a chaotic blur.
Weiss' PoV
Gunfire rang out. My weak eyes snap open. They're here. They've found me. My thoughts swim in a craze. I've found a new energy in my body to force myself to move. Psy was dumb to leave me untied. It takes time for me to stand, I hug the wall as I do and use it steady myself on my good leg and hobble to the door.
'Come on!' I'm pushing my body the limit. I reach for the knob and turn it. Too tired to catch myself I fall through the doorway out to the dusty alleyway. There is shouting and gunfire coming from my left. I get on my hands and knee and crawl to the exit of the alley. The first people I say are White fang members firing at the other side of the city. I watch the bullets hit a purplish pink glyph and gunfire being returned. A blond tail catches my attention. Sun was fighting a few nearby white Fang members.
"Sun." I try to speak out enough for him to hear, but there is no use. With all the noise and chaos he can't hear.
"Sun." I try again and again. My throat's on fire. My body is going numb. It feels as if my life is slipping away. Hot tear out of the corner of my eyes. 'I can't stop here. There are so many things I need to say, that I need to fix.'
"SUN!" I scream before falling to the floor unable to move.
He turns in my direction. Blue eyes widen and he rushes to me but is stopped by heavy fire. He pulls back. I'm unable to keep my eyes open any longer. Darkness swallows my vision.
Yang's PoV
This wasn't planned very well. Hell, nothing ever goes right on this team. With the white fang barreling down on us and no backup in sight. Things were going pretty grim. Sun did give us a small push forward, but it's nothing serious. He pulls back after taking some serious gunfire.
"I heard Weiss just three or four alleys down." Sun is winded and his aura low. "She's looked pretty banged."
There an awakening in my soul. Fire burns through my body hearing Weiss' condition. My semblance was activated.
"We need to end this. Now!" I roar.
"Yang, we can't just charge in head first." Ruby whimpers. "We need a plan… a-and I think I got one that might work."
Good Witch grumbles. "If you have a plan then speak quickly, I don't I can hold them back much longer."
"Okay, Okay. Blake, you flank left and Sun flanks right. Good Witch, you will provide cover for Yang as she comes up the middle." Ruby instructed
My brows creased. "What are you, Ruby?"
"That's the dangerous part. I'll sneak off while you guys draw the fire. Sun said she was just down the street."
That part of the plan I did not like, but it our only option. For the mighty gods of Remnant please let this work.
I command Blake and Sun to head to their positions, Good Witch gives me a subtle nod, Ruby gives a thumbs up. I give a two finger salute and she runs off.
"I sure hope this works or we are all in serious trouble." Good Witch says when I come up next to her.
"It will," I say. "I trust Ruby."
Ruby's PoV
Blake and Sun hop from broken building to broken building. Carefully dodging bullets. Explodes causes an episode of dirt to fling everywhere. That was Yang drawing of the attention as good Witch shields her. I worm my threw the broken buildings trying my best to stay out of the sidewalks.
Every minute or so I'd poke my head out to see if I could spot Weiss. Ivory gleams out of the corner on my eye. I snap my head that direction. Weiss, bloodied and bruised, is lying on the dirt floor not moving.
My heart stops. 'Where we too late? She can't be dead? No!... Weiss…'
She not too far away, I can reach her. I step out of my safe haven and make a dash for my best friend.
I drop down next her scrapping my knees in the process. "Weiss?" I put my hands on her and shake. She does not respond.
I shake her again, more violently. "Weiss!" Tears forming in my eyes. "Weiss!" I cry.
There is a silence then a barely audible groan. "... Ruby…"
My heart skips a beat. She's alive! I don't hesitate to try and carry her. My first and only try is picking her bridal style, failed. I didn't have enough muscle mass do so. With one option left, I take two fist fulls of her overall straps and pull her along with me.
I groaned pulling and tugging my unconscious friend along. White fang members were flooding in shooting down our robs and pushing us back. I'm too close to give up even though my arms burned I couldn't stop. In fact, I'm so close to Yang that I cry out to her almost pleading for help.
She doesn't hear. Being in the middle of a war zone made sense, but I don't stop trying to get her attention.
There's another explosion. I jump on top of Weiss to cover her. Hot tears are back and start to roll down my face. I'm scared, not because of everything going around me, but the sheer thought of Weiss not making it is tearing my heart up inside.
"PLEASE, WEISS!" I break down.
The sobs are so loud it grabs someone's attention. A nearby White Fang member shouts at me, his gun loaded and ready to fire. I turn to him in panic, still shielding Weiss. Everything happens in slow motion the trigger is pulled. There's no time for me to move. Nowhere to run.
I just watch the bullet come barreling towards me. There's a flash of a bluish white mass in front of me. The creature takes the bullet with a growl and lunges at the white fang. Its fur and symbols in its body tell me that it's a Beowolf. A white one. Several more come spring out from the buildings. Getting the jump on the White Fang. The enemy side starts to thin out and the remaining member call for a retreat.
"Ruby!" My sister cries.
I turn her. "Yang!"
She runs up next to me, falls down and pulls me into a huge bear hug. "It worked Ruby! Your plan worked."
I let myself relax and I cry in Yang's shoulder. The tender moment is ruined when a womanly voice demands something. Something that makes my skin curl.
"Where is my sister?" Her tone is hard and sharp.
Yang releases me and turns her attention to the woman. The same woman that IronWood commanded to send out a search for Weiss, has the same ivory white hair as Weiss. My mind started to connect the dots.
"Where is Weiss?"
I act quickly. "She's over here and hurt real bad!"
The woman comes rushing over, stepping past Yang and I. Our attention follow her. A sharp gasp echoes through the air when her dull blues eyes land on the smaller Schnee. Horror is the only emotion on the woman's face. She kneels down next to Weiss.
"Weiss…" The woman breathes. She gently picks up the small Schnee and turns to us with anger in her eyes. "What happened to my sister?"
Okay sooooooo... yeeeaaaah. It's going to be hard for me to write Winter, but I want to have some sisterly bonding between the two because there isn't much bonding between the Schnee sisters. So if my writing becomes super crappy it's because I can't write winter worth my life. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed. Like, comment, subscribe and I'll see ya next Monday! BYE!
