Adam slouched against the melting ice, ignoring the fact he was actually freezing. His mind kept going back to the look on Weiss' face- it haunted him. Even though she said she loved him… he didn't think she did with how she sounded. The heiress looked like she was betrayed and he did feel like that. She never deserved anything he had done to her or what her family did to her.
If she told me she never wanted to me again it would be the nicest thing she could do. I hate myself… I hate myself for not being strong enough to fight them off. Look what I did to us… to her. I wish she never saved me that day if I knew I was going to end up hurting her like I have, she deserves so much better.
Adam began crying and he didn't care if anyone heard him. He was the scum of the earth.

"I don't care what Weiss said- we have to help," Ruby said holding Crescent Rose in her lap.
"It doesn't matter now since we are almost there," Blake stated as she kept staring at Perry and Professor Peach with an annoyed look.
"I don't know how many problems she'd have going through security of that place and we need to support her no matter what. I think she is capable of changing the world for the better," Professor Peach said staring back at Blake.
"Ruby… This isn't going to be easy for you. You will have to aim to kill in this forest we are going too," Yang said with a grim look.
"I know Yang. I know what sex is anyways even though I'm a virgin," the young leader said with a nod and Perry began turning red in the face.
"Perry what is your problem?" the cat Faunus asked slightly amused.
"Are you hitting on my sister?!" the blonde cried trying to stand up but Ruby threw her arm out in front of her.
"Sit Yang," she said turning pink.
The older sister obeyed and sat down with red eyes.
"What's the plan when we get there? There's only a few people who have actually been inside and they aren't here. We can't go in without any idea on what to do," Perry offered trying to get serious.
"I think that should be up to Ruby," Yang said locking her eyes on Perry.
"Is that what everyone else thinks?" their teacher asked and everyone nodded unison.
"What's the plan sis?" Yang asked.
"Anyone got paper?" Ruby asked.
Professor Peach found a notebook and a pack of permanent markers under one of the seats. Ruby ripped up six pieces of paper and colored the tips then twisted them making them look like straws. There were three red and three pink. She turned her back and mixed them up and turned back holding them out hiding the colors.
"Ok. Blake, Professor and Perry pick a straw."
They looked at each other in confusion but they reached out and grabbed anyways.
"Whoever has red will be with me and then yellow with Yang."
Perry was the only one with red and he adverted Yang's angry eyes.
"This is the plan. Yang will be the leader of the yellow group- you three will enter the hunting grounds first at a ten-minute head start and if you have no problems shoot off a blue dust round into the air so we can see. Perry and I will follow behind and shoot a blue round off to tell we are going. Now if you have problems shoot a red dust round and we'll come to your aid. As we make our way through every twenty minutes we'll shoot the rounds until we reach the other side.
"The thing is that they may be more attracted to Blake and Professor Peach than me so it's good to have Yang on your team. If you see Adam and he's not ok shoot off a yellow round but if he's fine shoot off a gray round ok? I know this is a touchy situation but if you can just simply knock them out do it but if not kill. I know this may be hard for everyone but we will have to keep it together. Also if you find something interesting shoot two blue rounds. Is that clear with everyone?" Ruby asked and everyone nodded.
"Are you expecting this place to be that big?" Yang asked and her sister nodded.
"It is. It was easier for Adam and Weiss the first time because they were kids but now… they are adults and Weiss has a female scent now. They will flock to us regardless but this is the best way to do this. Ruby it is an excellent plan," Blake said.
"Everyone," Ruby said looking rather sad.
"What Ruby?" Yang said.
"Anything can happen here and we haven't trained much for this kind of thing. This may the last time we are all together because we might lose someone."
No one said anything but they knew it was true. Although they were all against killing none of them wanted to be raped by the creatures that were in there. The Bullhead was almost to Atlas and that fact didn't ease anyone's mind. Yang held onto Blake's hand tighter as they got closer; the idea of someone hurting her girlfriend made her upset- scared even.
"Blake… I love you."
Blake looked at the fiery blonde to see her lilac eyes filled with tears.
"Yang don't cry… We have to make it through this with a clear mind."
"I know," she whispered.
"I love you Yang… We will make it out alive. No matter what happens- I want to be with you forever," the Faunus said with a serious look.
"What," Yang said as her eyes widened.
"There's ways for women to have babies by other women. When we graduate- I want children and I want to marry you."
Yang started crying and hugged her would be wife.
"Awww," Professor Peach said smiling.
"Everyone there's something going on outside," the pilot called.
Ruby looked out the window to see a Bullhead sitting there with guards from the Schnee Dust Company on a standoff.
"Who's the blonde lady standing with the Faunus?" Yang asked.
"I think that's Weiss' mom," Ruby said and Jenifer nodded.
"Are you guys ready to jump out?" the pilot asked.
Everyone gathered their things and jumped out landing by the Bullhead that had landed there first. The blonde woman turned to face them her eyes wandering over them.
"Are you Weiss' team at school?" she asked.
"We are. We are here to help her achieve her goal," Ruby said stepping up.
The woman's face softened, "My name is Mimi."
"Ruby."
"Yang."
"Blake."
"Perry."
"Jenifer."
"Can we get inside?" Ruby asked.
"You sure about that?" Mimi asked as a dark look overcame her face.
"We know what goes on in there already," Blake said, "Adam told me everything when he was fresh out of here as a child."
"Fair enough. I'll let you in."
Mimi turned to the guards, "I'm letting them in. If you try anything stupid, I'll blow everyone up. You know I will."
They all nodded and Mimi pulled out a long rapier, shaped similar to Weiss' and she stuck it into the ice that Weiss had put there.
"Save my daughter and son-in-law."
"We will," Yang said.
Mimi's sword began glowing red and the ice started melting. Once there was a hole big enough Perry went in first and the girls followed after him. Mimi stuck her sword back into the melting ice and it gave glowing blue. The ice thickened up and she nodded to the group. Ruby pulled out Crescent Rose and turned to her team.
"Everyone remember the plan?" she asked and they all nodded.
"Alright go on and start. I love you guys stay safe."
Yang, Blake and Jenifer took off into the man made hell disappearing in seconds. Ruby sat down with her scythe up and ready to shoot. Perry sat down beside of her with his dual wielding guns in his hands. Ruby kept a steady eye up at the sky. Suddenly two blue rounds were shot off. Ruby jumped up and pulled Perry to his feet.
"Let's do this."

Weiss collapsed onto the ground when she was a good distance from Adam. She began crying- she could no longer hold it in. She hurt all over and her mind was broken. Her father fucked her up big time and he had no idea. He probably assumed that she would never go against him but she did and here she was wanting to give up.
Part of her hated Adam for what he had done but it was not his fault. That disgusting concoction her father made was to make the Faunus exactly like animals and it worked. Weiss pulled off the Grimm mask and looked at it. It was cracked up and chipped badly. She stared at it like it would tell her a way to fix all her problems.
Everyone is depending on me.
Are they really? Can't they do it themselves?
No because they already failed. You made a promise won't you keep it?
Was it all worth fighting for? What she just experienced- true hate, pain and fear from the one man that should've defended her. She laid on the ground curled up into ball ignoring the fact she was in some crazy hell hole filled with half Faunus half Grimm creatures. In all her life she never expected to make it this far and at what cost? The cost of virginity… being raped by the man she loved but it wasn't his fault was it?
It was mine for not being mentally prepared. He probably fucked other female Faunus here but he can't help himself- the was my father's whole point. To hurt me, to prove they were animals. The thing is… he's more of an animal than my husband is- angrier than Blake was when she attacked me… He's the real monster.
If the choice came to it… Does he deserve to die?
Weiss was so wrapped into her own anguished thoughts that she didn't even notice the sudden temperature drop in the air. The grass and trees were beginning to ice over at an alarming rate. Weiss felt her finger tips grow numb then that's when she noticed that the frost, ice and snow. He's here… I always remembered he'd create giant cyan colored dust bombs and drop them to gain a field advantage over his enemies.
Weiss got up and pulled out Wilt and Blush as she waited for her father to make his presence known to her. She didn't know what to do with Adam's weapon but it was all she had. She couldn't explain the connection she had with it but it… made her feel secure even though she felt weak. She didn't have Myrtenaster so she was at a disadvantage without her elemental weapon.
Everything in her life had come down to this. This was it- whether she was fit for her dream or not. Even if she couldn't have her father's company at least she would burn down the Hunting grounds in the end. She could finally free the Faunus who were messed up by her father and maybe she could have some pull to make changes in the world with Adam by her side. She wasn't settling for less than her best. This was the moment of truth… Was Ozpin right about her?
"I never thought someone would try and go against me but my whole family?" said the male voice she began to hate so much.
"You don't know what family means. You deserve nothing you have now- you abuse your power," she hissed.
"I use it how I want."
Weiss' eyes focused onto a dark figure stepping forward.
"I'll teach you what it means to against power."

Adam hadn't heard Weiss' cries after she had left him there but he didn't want to move. He sat there tortured by what he had done. He knew what he did- because he had seen what the other Faunus had done to each other when he was a child. He felt Myrtenaster's hilt on his fingertips. The metal was cold but it had Weiss' sweet scent all over it. He picked it up and flipped it around pointing the blade towards his heart.
He was done. Adam made up his mind. No he wasn't some coward- but a man who regretted getting kidnapped and hurting the love of his life and he knew that she would never love him after what he had done to her. Just as he went to thrust the rapier into his chest someone jerked it out of his hands slicing his palms. Her gray eyes went wide upon seeing Blake standing there with an angry facial expression.
"Bla-
SLAP
Blake hit him o hard his vison blurred.
"What the fuck-
SLAP
Yang slapped the other side, "Yea! What the fuck are you doin!"
"I-I-I he couldn't get the words out.
"Why are you being retarded?!" Yang asked.
BANG.
"What's going on?" Adam asked.
"We are the back up," Blake said.
Adam frowned, "I thought she wanted to do this alone?"
"We couldn't allow that to happen."
"Explain what you were doing? What happened here?" Blake asked kneeling down.
Adam hung his head.
"Hey guys!"
Ruby showed up and let Perry off of her back. His face was a deep red color from embarrassment. Yang's eyes matched his face but she said nothing knowing they had to get there to see what was going on. Ruby saw Adam sitting on the ground with Myrtenaster in front of him on the ground. Just as she was about to ask where Weiss was he broke down into sobs.
"They- they kidnapped me! I woke up in their fucked up lab… Her father found out I married Weiss on the down low because we wanted to be together you know? Then… then… I came to with Weiss passed out against the side of the ice… She was covered in blood and… I found out I had raped her while I was drugged up! I-I-I-
Adam began crying while everyone stood in stunned silence.
"She doesn't deserve that! I shouldn't live for what I did to her!" he yelled angrily.
Ruby walked over to him and knelt down.
"It wasn't your fault. The real Adam- the Adam sitting here now would have never done what the monster her father created did. You weren't in your right mind. I took down three of those Faunus on the way here and there would be no way you had the ability to think. Weiss might be hurt but who do you think she would feel knowing you killed yourself? How can you two fix things if you are dead? She's fighting for you now- she left as fast as possible when Perry showed up and told us what happened," the young leader said.
"Ruby is right," Perry said, "Your wife is fighting to save you. To save everyone just like she promised. What kind of thing like you killing yourself do for her? She went through all this just to be with you to find out you were gone when she got back from winning. You've done some horrible shit in your life but you aren't a rapist. Get your ass up."
Adam said nothing and stood up.
"Let's go. Weiss is waiting," Ruby said smiling.

Weiss slammed into a tree and started coughing up blood. She could barely see any attacks coming at her with it barely hitting daylight and all the ice. She couldn't tell if her father actually attacking her or if he was using summons to do it. She didn't know what was wrong with her but her body felt heavy and useless. This isn't how things were supposed to go.
Weiss held up Wilt as a ray of ice came at her. The sword turned white and began absorbing the blast. She could feel the power radiating off the sword and she smiled. She slashed at the air and a giant white light appeared slicing through the trees and ice in front of her. She heard her father growl in frustration. She felt like her aura returned back to her body making her feel light again.
She charged in as fast as she could and saw he had summoned a large amount of dead Faunus. She began cutting through them faster than she normally would with Myrtenaster- maybe there was something about the sword itself that made her move faster. The heiress finally stood in front of her father who looked angry. He was still the same as she had remembered.
"What is that thing?" he snarled staring at the red sword.
"It's the weapon I'll defeat you with. This is Adam's sword and that means he's here with me. My love for him is real."
"I saw what he did to you and you still love him?" her father asked almost taunting her.
"I do. You spent so much time trying to prove Faunus are evil creatures and they deserved to be treated like scum but in the end there's only one real monster- that's you. The things you put everyone through will never be forgotten or forgiven but I'm going to end what you do today. Everything ends and starts with me. I want the Schnee Dust Company and change it back to the way it once was."
"A little girl and her fantasies… when will you learn?" he asked slightly amused.
"It's no longer a fantasy but a dream that will be reality soon."
Richard Schnee frowned, "Is that so?"
"Yes."
Richard pulled out his sword which was broader than Adam's and thrust it into her abdomen. Her eyes widen and blood began pouring out of her wound. He jerked the sword back out and she dropped to the ground in shock. She never expected that to happen but he was playing for keeps. He was truly evil if killing his own daughter didn't faze him.
"Goodbye Weiss. I always thought you were weaker anyways. I had much hope for Winter though."
Weiss managed to slip her hand into her pocket and pull out the black case. Her father already left with haste leaving her alone. She pulled out another syringe and injected directly into the open hole in her stomach. She could feel herself fading fast but it didn't surprise her any though. So this would be the end then… how odd. To be defeated so easily… she never began any stronger- she only thought she did.
"Fuck," she said as her vision blurred.
I'm not done. Not now not ever. I refuse to die here like he wants. I refuse to do what he wants. I refuse…
Her wound sealed up and she began breathing a little better. She used Wilt to pull herself up.
"Not now… Wait up Father. I haven't introduced you to a friend," she whispered and her eyes started glowing red.
Weiss began walking picking up her pace. Her body felt light like a feather. She began running as fast as she could. She had three doses left to finish this. Her mind wandered to the thought of using one more to boost herself. She saw the evil man in the trees moving along in the appearing light of dawn. She pulled out Blush and fired a shot at him hitting his arm.
Richard turned around angrily blood spraying onto his white suit. His icy eyes widened in fear when he saw it was Weiss who had shot him. She gave him a wicked grin and thrust another shot into her stomach and her eyes were glowing red now. She looked like a Faunus now- she mirrored one as her aura flared up and her hair began growing longer. Fangs appeared sliding out onto her lips slightly.
The shots had such great effects considering Weiss had Faunus heritage in her blood.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"What are you?!" he yelled holding out his sword in fear.
"Prepare to lose everything!" she screamed.
Weiss charged in at her father who barely protected himself. He began sliding backward as Weiss continued her barge of attacks. She dropped down and kicked his legs out from underneath him. She jumped up and kicked him in the stomach sending him into a tree which broke and he hit the one behind it breaking it in half too. She began walking up to him with a determined look on her face. He was afraid of her.
Weiss could smell Adam and the others coming closer. She could smell the blood from the short distance away. She could smell all different types of things. Richard got up covered in cuts and splinters of wood. He slammed down his sword and ice shards spiked up from the ground but that was nothing. Weiss dodged them easily. She charged in from his right side and threw her leg out. She heard his ribs crack from the blow making him scream out in anger and pain.
The heiress kicked him the stomach again and he hit the ground hard on his back. She brought down Wilt but he rolled out of the way a kicked her leg breaking it. Weiss growled as she collapsed but her leg was already mending itself. It only took a minute but Richard had already started running away. She stumbled a little at first but she managed to start running catching up to him.
"FATHER!" she screamed scaring him more.
Her friends finally caught up to see that Weiss had transformed. It was terrifyingly beautiful.
More ice shards appeared but that didn't slow down the heiress. She jumped into the air and kicked his sword out of his hands. He threw down a lightning ice bomb stunning her for a second but it barely fazed her. Weiss caught up with him and delivering a kick to his back sending him flying again.
Richard got up and held up his hand. Glyphs appeared everywhere and mutated Faunus appeared looking like zombies. They began jumping at her growling and screeching but it didn't matter. She was slicing through all of them as soon as they came out of the glyphs. Weiss was stunned by the sheer amount of them but she continued her attacks.
Weiss knew he was up to something but she had no idea what it was. She knew he was dangerous considering he knew how to use Dust and he had her mother too. Her mother was almost like a scientist- she always created new types of Dust and more powerful versions of the powder. Just as she had thought he had some shiny looking blue ball and he threw it at the ground. Weiss was halted in her path by a large ice like mirror.
She saw herself. Her white hair reached her hips and she had fangs but it wasn't horrible looking. She looked wild and free- what she always wanted. She wanted to be free from the influence of her evil father. Her red eyes were malicious in any way but they glowed happily. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her aura began taking form around her and started glowing brightly.
This is my trump card.
"There is a special way that everyone can unlock their true amount of aura. You must see yourself for who you truly are. You no longer doubt yourself and then true power comes to you. Aura is like nature itself- you'll be overflowing in life energy. You may be able to boost your knight into the ultimate defense. Use this information wisely. Aura is a pure source of power…"
That's what she said that day to me before my fight with Ozpin. This is it.
Richard held up his sword and ice began forming on it. This was it his last but of power to defeat his daughter and keep what was his. He had no idea what was going on behind his giant ice mirror but this was the end. He didn't care if it involved killing his offspring or not. He cut the mirror into millions of tiny pieces but that was it.
Once the snow settled he saw what had stopped his attack. A giant knight like the one Weiss had defeated a while back was holding back his blade with on hand and it held a sword in the other. Weiss stood on the shoulder with long white hair flowing in the wind. It had grown much within minutes. He was almost stunned by her appearance- she was beautiful like an angel standing there. The knight swung its sword and sent him flying into the icy ground.
He was out of aura and energy.
Weiss stepped down the arm of Erinn and walked up to her father. He was tired and he looked really old. He was covered in dirt, blood and wood. She pulled out Wilt holding it over him. He just looked away expecting that she was going to end his life then. Weis picked up the sword and thrust it downward into his shoulder making him yell. She began twisting it back and forth making sure he couldn't pick up his massive sword again.
What did you think? This isn't the end by the way but it's close. :)
