As always RWBY and all RWBY properties are Rooster Teeth's. The Book of Heroes and Grid are products of Palladium. The idea is mine but I'm willing to share.

"words" are dialogue, 'words' are internal thoughts/monologue, "words" is ghost dialogue. 'words' are written

-The island of Patch-

The winter wind whispers across the snow covered ground, kissing the tops of the bare tree branches. It has been five days since Team RNJR left toward the closest Air Ship port that still travels east across the Amber Ocean to the continent that holds the Kingdom of Minstral. It has also been five days since Wiess Schnee and Blake Belladonna arrived at the home of both their partners Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, though not to a happy reunion. The first two days Yang Xiao Long spoke to no one save for her tantrum when her two team mates arrived. She yelled for them to get out with venom, mostly toward Blake. Taiyang asked them to stay and prepared Ruby's room for them both. On the third day Yang finally came out of her room and sat on the back porch, she looked at a letter Jaune left for her. The paper was crumbled up and soft like tissue paper, accounting to the fact that she had opened the letter, crumbled it, then straightened it out over and over again.

'My very dear friend Yang:

The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days—perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.

Our movement may be one of a few weeks duration and full of pleasure—and it may be one of severe conflict and death to me. Not my will, but thine O fallen gods, be done. If it is necessary that I should fall on the battlefield for my kingdom, my world, I am ready. I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly Ramnent now leans upon the triumph of their Hunters, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the wars past. And I am willing—perfectly willing—to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain human and faunus kind, and to pay that debt.

But, my dear Yang, when I know that with my own joys I lay down nearly all of yours, and replace them in this life with cares and sorrows—when, after having eaten for long years the bitter fruit of this life myself, I must offer it as their only sustenance to my dear unborn children—is it weak or dishonorable, while the banner of my purpose floats calmly and proudly in the breeze, that my unbounded love for you, and everyone I now hold dear, should struggle in fierce, though useless, contest with my love of Human and Faunus kind.

The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you and the others come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to them and to you that I have enjoyed them so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, we might still have lived and loved together and seen our sons grow up to honorable manhood around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me—perhaps it is the wafted prayer of the ghost of Pyrrha—that I

shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Yang, never forget how much I care for you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name.

Truly and Always your friend ,

Jaune "Vomit-boy" Arc.'

It became her ritual each morning, to read this crumbled letter, then to eat and slowly start running. She would come back after an hour, sweaty and breathing heavy. On the fifth day she walks over to Blake and Weiss who had started training in the back yard. She sits down and watches them, she watches their complete form and looks at her missing arm.

"I will come back from this and I will fight for those that I care for." Yang exhales slowly and walks over to the two girls with two bottles of water. She throws the bottles to Weiss and begins...

"I'm sorry for my outburst when you both arrived." Yang eyes both of them, the heiress and the ninja, her former teammates, her friends. "What I said, it was..."

"Harsh but you meant it." Blake said coolly, without malice, yet with some pain evident, "I deserved them. I abandoned you after I told you I wouldn't after what happened with Mercury." The memory flooded back to Yang when Blake mentioned it.

Yang was stuck in their room and it was after Ruby and Weiss left the room. Blake held Yang and cuddled with her, kissing her tears away. They made love fully for only the second time but it was the first time Yang and Blake released their emotional barriers to become one. They melded auras and the experience was like nothing neither had truly felt before. The next day everything went to hell when and Yang lost her arm, and Blake rescued her but left soon afterward without a word. It was worse for Yang because when Yang loves she loves as completely as she can. She doesn't think one person could love someone completely, after all one could not love others if you completely loved one person. She did not love easily and Blake was able to get past her defenses, past her barriers of being heterosexual. Blake was her first female and most likely her last.

"I don't know if I can ever forgive you Blake but we have to continue moving forward." Yang said those words and placed out her hand as she continued, "We three are Ruby's team and we need to be there for her, for Jaune and Ren and Nora. I can't do this alone, I – I have to have help."

"Its about time you see that Yang." Weiss responds as she walks into the house, leaving a perplexed Yang and Blake alone. Yang's hand was still out not sure what to think. Weiss appears moments later with a white case marked SDC. She opens it to reveal Yang's new arm. It glistens with alloyed power and sleek strength. The Schnee symbol on the top of the hand. "This is yours you idiot."

Blake places her hand on Yang's as does Weiss with a smirk. Yang smiles for the first time in five days.

The next few chapters will deal with the enemies and a surprise character (not an OC) that will rock the foundation of what's left of RWBY. I will also write a few combat scenes here and there. Leave reviews bad or good.
