My eyes widened as I watched the screen, then it went to static.

I heard roars and mayhem outside, signifying the Grimm's attack.

I pushed myself up as the hospital was sent into chaos, slowly stumbling over to the door. I eyed my combat-outfit and weapon on a chair in the corner, then closed and locked the door.

No one would be able to stop me from doing what I had to.

I limped to the supply cabinet and found some gauze, pulling my hospital gown up and firmly wrapping my abdomen. I did the same thing with medical tape, ensuring that the stitches and wound wouldn't rip open. Then, I donned my combat outfit and walked with some pain (not as much as before) to the window.

I had to do this.

I had to get to Beacon.

I had to get to my teammates, my friends.

I had to fight.

I had to be strong.

I had to win.

Nurse Janet arrived, and she pounded on the door with all she had, looking in through the tinted window.

"Ms. Branwen, don't!" She almost-screamed. "In your state, fighting could make the damage done to your body irreversible! You could die!"

I looked over at my shoulder, glaring at the middle-aged woman.

"My teammates, friends, and sisters are out there. It's worth any risk."

With that, I opened the window and jumped, changing into a raven and soaring into the Grimm-filled sky.

/\/\/\/\

I arrived at Beacon as all Hell broke loose, the Grimm and the White Fang attacking the school.

I knew who was leading the White Fang, and my bird-eyes narrowed as I steeled myself for another encounter.

I noticed a fight in the burning cafeteria and I flew in a window and landed on a support beam, changing back as I gazed down.

My eyes widened in horror as Adam Taurus drove his blade into Blake's abdomen, and she screamed. Yang appeared in a doorway.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Yang screamed in rage, flying at Adam, her hair and eyes blazing. Adam was ready.

My eyes widened in horror as I watched Yang's arm fly away from her body, my older twin sister landing on the ground in a heap.

No.

Not Yang.

Yang couldn't have gotten hurt.

It was impossible.

Yang was strong.

Yang was brave.

Yang...

Was brash.

Was arrogant.

Was too easily enraged.

Adam was the perfect counter. He was calm, collected, strategic, and his aim was precise and perfect. And God, he was fast. I was a match. But Yang...

Yang was lying there, unconscious, her arm severed with the stump bleeding as she curled up on the ground in agony.

It all happened so fast, and I couldn't stop it...

Adam.

I felt my eyes flare red as Adam slowly approached Blake, who had thrown herself between Adam and Yang.

"No..." I gritted my teeth. Then, I lost control and snarled. "NO!"

I leapt down, activating my gauntlets and changing, my blades falling to the ground as the sheath unfastened, and I raised an arm.

Adam turned back just in time to get a powerful punch to the chest, an Ice-Dust round going off as my fist made contact, the man's aura shattering as he was thrown back into a wall, instantly knocked unconscious.

He did this!

He betrayed me!

He led the White Fang into this battle, this war!

He hurt Blake!

He hurt Yang!

...

But I had spared him in each of our encounters.

I thought he could change because he, in turn, spared me.

I was a fool...

Never again.

I growled and slammed my fists together, ready to finish it, but...

"Rhea, she's gone into shock!" Blake exclaimed worriedly. I blinked back the red, my eyes widening as I turned around and kneeled next to my sister.

She was so broken.

In such agony.

I wasn't fast enough.

I failed her.

This was all my fault.

"Yang." I stared, then gently scooped my older sister up. "Blake, can you walk?" The cat-Faunus nodded. "... Let's get out of here."

We got Yang to the airships, and I watched over Yang, Blake, Zwei, an exhausted Weiss, and an injured Ren and Nora. Sun placed a hand on my shoulder.

"There's nothing more that you could have done." He told me. "How are you even here?" I took a shaky breath.

"I came to protect my sisters... And I failed."

"Rhea, you're only one person." Sun tried, giving a tired smile. "You've done more than anyone would ever have asked of you. You're injured, but you came back to help. You haven't failed... This just wasn't our day."

"Blake's hurt. Yang's hurt. I wasn't fast enough to save them. I didn't kill Adam whe ever I had the chance. This whole thing is my fault. I-" My eyes widened as Sun hugged me. He pulled away, looking down.

"It's my fault. I shot you. If I hadn't, then you would have been here, and everyone would have been okay."

"Sun-"

"I'll only stop blaming myself if you stop blaming yourself. Deal?"

"... Deal."

No deal.

This was all my fault.

No one could possibly convince me otherwise.

...

But I wouldn't let Sun blame himself.

Ruby came and went away again just as quick, taking Weiss with her as she went to find Jaune and Pyrrha.

I followed her out of concern, then gasped as I saw fire on top of Beacon Tower, my eyes narrowing.

I changed into a raven and soared high above the school, my raven-eyes zeroing-in on a fierce battle taking place.

Pyrrha was locked in conflict with a woman in red. And Pyrrha was losing. The woman struck her heel with an arrow, raising her bow to shoot Pyrrha in the heart.

"Do you believe in destiny?" Pyrrha asked weakly. The woman glared.

"Yes."

That's when I transformed back into a human, flying down with a battle-cry, my Ice-Dust sword drawn.

I wouldn't fail again.

Duh-duh-DUUUUUUUUUUUH!

What will happen next?! Will Rhea put an end to Cinder Fall's plans? And if she does, what will happen to Salem's plans? What will Rhea do when she meets the "new" Yang? Who paid attention to the changes I wrote in the theme song? What will Rhea choose?

I own nothing! Please read, review, check out my other stories, etc. Thanks!
