I do not own RWBY
Stop that train
"Oh no Ruby her weapon...she fell!" Yang yells while grabbing crescent rose. "Of course this part of Vale is know for its caves. Grimm attacks rise people make a last stand underground. Everything goes well until an explosion opens up a new part of the cave full of suptirrenian Grimm. Eventually the counsel decides to close the tunnels making one giant grave." Dr Ooblec says more to himself than anybody else.
"Hoho the huntsman knows his history." A demonic voice says making everyone go stiff. "What do you want now 'ghost'." I say getting really tired of this.
"Oh you know that little girl fell down in the middle of the White fang base. I was only here to find it and you guys really helped me with that. Even you kitty cat, I would watch your back next time you leave campus."
"Not gonna even help us, that's so unlike you." I say in a mock hurt voice. "You know now that I think about it maybe you die down there. I have seen what kind of equipment they have down there. The entrance is down the street to your left."
"Ever the optimist, come on that's the best we are going to get from him." I say getting back the attention of the group. Running we find a place to enter the underground train station. After descending the stairs we come across a large metal door. The problem it's guarded by like five soldiers.
"You guys go ahead and find Ruby, I will deal with these guys." I say pulling out my gun and aiming at the soldiers. I receive a ok from both Weiss and Oobeleck before they go to the door only Yang and Blake are left.
"Don't die okay." Yang says giving me a quick kiss on the cheek before joining the others. Blake is left glaring at me. "Blake go...I will not kill them I promise." After that she also leaves, now it's only me and my prai. Waisting no time I run to the fang members.
They all bring up their pistols and rifles. But before they can open fire I grab the first one, breaking his arm and leg. He drops the gun before he receives the back of my pistol on his head, knocking him out. The one next to me opened fire, but his pistol bullets only grace my aura. In response I shoot him in both his kneecaps.
The next one charges me in an effort to hit me. I side step it. Sweeping his feet from under him and than knocking him out with a boot to the head. The last two look at each other before opening fire at the same time. Taking my gun I shoot the weapon out of their hands and a finger, Oops.
While they are busy screaming and looking at their hand I walk up to them and knock their heads together. Looking around I see all five of them are out of combat and still alive. Satisfied with myself I run to the door that Yang at this point has blown open.
I enter a a large underground train station with the train moving? I see my team making the way to the train. Chasing after them I am able to take hold of the train cart and finally rejoining with my team.
"Pfff...you guys didn't forget me did you... Guys?" I ask looking up to see the rest looking down into the wagon before it detaches. "Drake! Get your ass on this cart immediately!" Looking at Yang I just shrug and do what she says, only for the cart to explode behind me.
"Holy shit, what's that about?" I ask only to feel the cart to detach again. Jumping to the other wagon we come to the conclusion that all train carts are rigged with explosives. "But that doesn't make sense. Why would they blow holes in the tunnel."
"Simple they blow holes in the tunnel so that Grimm can get in. At the end they lead them right to the city." I say matter of fact like. Everyone looks at me weird I just shrug. "What else would they be doing."
"Get the humans." A dear Faunus yells to her comrades who are standing on top of the train. "Blake, Yang and Weiss go below and take down the bombs. I and professor...doctor sorry. Will take care of things on top." Ruby orders to the rest
"Uhm...sorry to interrupt your moment but what about me." Everyone turns to look at me before we have to jump to another cart before it explodes. "You do what you do best. Just you know do you." Ruby says making me just nod in agreement and also jump into the train.
"Hey guys wait...for...me?" Looking around I can't see a thing. I am standing in the middle of a pitch black train wagon and I can hear a hissing sound like a snake. "Uhm Yang, Weiss, Blake?"
"Looksss like another human, I was going after the other ones but let'sss deal with you first." A voice says, if I have to guess a snake Faunus. The sound bounces off the walls making it impossible to know where he is at the moment.
All of a sudden I get the feeling I should duck. Doing just that I narrowly avoid a incoming tomahawk. Turning around I quickly pull my gun and shoot in the direction where the weapon came from. Only to hear the sound of the bullet hitting the wall.
"I am not there." He says, almost having no time to react I have to duck again. Only this time he follows it up with a kick to the knee knocking me of balance. Stumbling backwards I am hit with his weapon. My aura takes the most of the damage. But my rip cage still hurts like hell.
Having no time to recover I am peppered with bullets. I feel that my aura is nearing the red, as a last resort I fire blindly only to be hit in the shoulder by a tomahawk that shatters my aura and getting stuck in my shoulder. Screaming out in pain I fall to the ground trying to get the weapon out.
"Shame I thought you would be more of a challenge." I hear him say before he starts chuckling. Pulling out my scroll I go to my last resort. Starting to play an audio fragment I used during my time with the red hand. The sound of someone running his fingers over a school board.
"Ahh make it stop!!!" The guy yells falling down on his knees before me. Standing up I pull out my katana and using all my strength to stab him repeatedly.
"This...is...for...stabbing me!" I yell pulling the katana out of the corpse. Making my way to the next wagon I try to find the rest of my team. Entering another one I can see the door that leads to the machine camber. But right before I reach the door the train explodes. I hit my head against the roof making my world go black.
Ten minutes later Yang PoV
The last ten minutes where hectic as hell. It looked for a moment that the Grimm where going to win. But than team JNPR and CFVY showed up and the odds turned in our favour. And at the end we where supported by the atlisian military and miss Goodwitch who closed the hole made by Torchwick. Now we are recovering from the fight.
"Good work team we did it, we stopped Torchwick and the White fang." Ruby cheers jumping up in the air. "I can't believe we actually did it." Weiss adds while kneeling down to catch her breath. Blake just stands there and smiles. I however want to share all my happiness with Drake.
"Any of you saw Drake?" I ask all the other teams here. All of them shake their heads or just don't answer. "The last time I saw him he entered the train card." Ruby says looking concerned. "But I didn't see him inside."
Looking at the place the train exploded I run over to it and fall to my knees. And start crying. "Please no no! Y-you need to open it back up! Drake is still inside, please." I say hitting my fist against the ground and trying to dig him out myself.
"Miss Xiao Long I am afraid that will not be possible." Miss Goodwitch says clearly sad about what has just happened. "N-no no no, please no." I say breaking down into a crying mess. "Who is dead? Did I miss something?" I hear the voice of Drake say from behind me.
"Y-you are alive?" I say looking at him, he's covered in blood and small cuts on top of that there is a tomahawk sticking out of his right shoulder. "Y-yeah the explosion must have launched me forward. Now if you excuse me I am going to pass out again." He says before falling over only to be catched by me. "He needs help now!" I yell at a couple of soldiers who are just standing there.
"He will be alright." Ruby and Weiss try to reassure me. Blake just stands there having that blank look on her face. I just ignore it for the moment and board the ship headed for beacon infirmary. 'He will be alright, he will be alright.'
On a nearby rooftop
"Ghost I know you are here, mission report now!" A man with a long bow next to him ordered. This man is no one else than the 'poet' who is studying the scene below. "The mole was right like you can see. They got lucky that a huntsman was there otherwise a lot more would be killed."
"Uhm sorry for interrupting your mission briefing but why where or orders again not to stop the train?" Indigo asks while lighting a cigarette. "Simple, now the people have seen what these animals can do. When word gets out the human-Faunus trusts is going to fall." The poet answer still looking at the park with the military running around.
"And when that happens it will just need a little spark to ignite. And then we put these animals finally where they belong." Ghost adds joining the poet to look at the scene. "Okay so...what's the spark?"
"There is a Faunus speaking in Vale this weekend. She is the figure of a peaceful solution, we kill her without people knowing it was us." Looking down he sees the VTOL with Drake leaving for Beacon academy. "He survived... You sure he will come back to us? I mean we are doing great without him." Ghost says looking at team RWBY who are also boarding an airship.
"Believe me he will return, just give him some time." Indigo reassured his fellow trappers who aren't really convinced. "I just need to catch him alone when he leaves the school grounds."
Beacon infirmary
Opening my eyes I am blinded by a light. Closing my eyes again and blinking a couple of times I look around noticing that I am in a hospital room. I try to sit up right but am stopped by two things. First the pain in my right shoulder and as second the weight laying on my chest. Looking at it see that it's Yang who clearly has been crying.
"Hey sunshine, wake up you don't look good when you're crying." I say softly, she opens her eyes locking eyes with me. She doesn't say anything, instead she gives me a passionate kiss before bitch slapping me in the face.
"OW...what was that for!!" I ask rubbing the spot she hit me. "That is for scaring me like that, and this...is because you are ok." She says after releasing me from another kiss. I just look at her before kissing her myself and dragging her into my hospital bed. Ending the kiss because we need air, she straddles my waist before continuing the kiss. Or tongues are battling for dominance before the door opens and the rest of the team walks in.
"Yaaaang!!!"
"You two are just so immature."
"Oh hey guys...how you doing." I say trying to hide the blush on my face. Yang is trying to do the same while simply whistling an innocent tune. Looking at the rest Ruby is trying to hide her own embarrassment while Weiss looks angry and embarrassed. Blake just has the same stoic look on her face.
"We just came to celebrate that we caught Torchwick." Ruby says looking the other way getting over her embarrassment. "Yeah we totally did, he's behind bars and the White fang plans are stopped."
Yang says pumping her fists in the air.
"I am actually surprised we did it." Blake comments with a smile on her face. "Did we? I mean yeah Torchwick is arrested and that train. But there is no way Torchwick was running that operation. On top of that ghost wasn't there to fight he was there to scout. Plus they would never send him alone, he's a lose cannon, if you don't hold him in line he will just go on a killing spree. Meaning that a higher ranked member is in Vale and they only come out for big missions."
"So you are saying that there is more to this than just Torchwick and the fang?" Yang asks me concerned, all the others are also looking at me worried. "I mean why would the second in command of the red hand come all the way to Beacon and risk getting caught?"
"He is right, why would they risk it. They probably know a lot more. Drake I am surprised that I'm saying this but you need to ask your 'friends'." Blake says clearly looking uncomfortable talking to me.
"No...he is hurt and you never know what they will do." Yang protests clearly not happy with the risk there is. "Speaking of which, how did you get hurt so much?"
"Well I was coming after you guys but this snake Faunus stopped me. He used his night and thermal vision to his advantage in a pitch black room." I say making Blake eyes go wide, in an instant she is besides me. "That can only be one guy...you fought one of the twins! Where is he now?!"
"Well after he stabbed me I used an old trick...before I stabbed him to death in anger." I admit the last part in shame not looking up at the faces of the others. "That's alright he tried to kill you..." Yang tries to cheer me up quickly joined by Ruby and Weiss only Blake is left standing there.
"Y-you killed him?! His brother is coming for everybody's blood now!" She yells at us clearly scared of what is to come. "Relax already I dealt with one, I can deal with the other one."
"Let's just take it easy, we have a week of before the tournament begins. Enough time to figure it all out." Ruby says trying to reassure Blake. "Besides the doctor said he can leave whenever he wants. Plus we need to train for the tournament."
"Yeah, you see everything will be fine. Now I just want to go to my bed and sleep." I say getting out of bed and grabbing my hoodie and armour that is laying next to my bed. "About sleeping, why don't you just sleep with me? Than you don't have to sleep on that mattress in the corner." Yang asks innocent playing with her hair.
"Okay...and yes Weiss we will behave." I add looking at the heiress before opening the door and going to the dorm. I however can't shake the feeling something bad is about to happen.
The end
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, for the coming chapters I will start switching between Drake POV and that of other trappers. But for now see you guys next time.
