Sisters fight! Wait…that's no nice, well, enjoy.
Neither of the Rose-Schnee sisters made a move. Silver felt relieved when she saw the glyphs that appear behind Summer had vanished, but Silver knew that her sister hadn't summoned those glyphs just to scare her. The only thing that Summer had summoned in front of other people since she learned how to use her semblance had been her signature blizzard of petals, but she quite capable to summoning more things, and Silver knew that. Since Summer started suffering from insomnia like Raven, they had trained together during the night and that allowed Summer learn how to summon things that even her little sister hadn't seen. Finally, Silver took a deep breath, clenched her right hand around the grip of her sabre, and decided to be the first one to attack.
Though, Silver didn't have a single clue about what she was actually going to do. Temporarily rendering Summer incapable of fighting was her goal, but Silver didn't know how she would do that until a small idea come to her mind. She decided to try to knock Summer out from behind. With her speed that should be easy enough, so she tried it. After Silver disappeared from Summer's sight, she didn't react, she didn't even move. Taking advantage of the lack of reaction, Silver got behind her sister. She was still using her semblance, so hitting Summer with the pommel of the sabre should be easy but, suddenly, Silver saw Summer turn and track her movements. That should have been impossible because Silver was still moving herself at the speed of the sound. Before she could think about it more, Silver found herself being crushed by something large and strong. She turned to her right for see what stopped her and saw a glyph with a big white arm coming out of it.
"I know your running patterns." Summer said facing Silver. "Even with that speed, I can predict where you are and how you want to attack me. I'm your big sister after all, you don't have a single move that I don't know."
At least that's what you think. Silver thought. She had one move that Summer hadn't ever seen. She had gotten the idea from Mia only a few days ago after reading an old comic book. Silver took another breath and activated her semblance again. She wasn't going to run, instead Silver's body began to shake quickly before beginning to vibrate uncontrollably. Silver felt a little thread of blood come out of her nose, but she continued with whatever it was that she was doing. Summer was trying to understand what her sister was doing as well, but everything became clear when she saw the arm that was crushing Silver begin to shake and, after several seconds, the arm broke in thousands of pieces. Silver had set herself free, but her body was still shaking even though she had stopped using her semblance and the blood was still coming out of her nose.
"That was an interesting move, focusing your semblance on the rest of your body instead of just the legs is pretty inspired. Sadly, you need more training with that." Summer said pointing her White Rose at Silver.
Quickly, Silver grabbed her Petal Dance when she heard a shot. She deflected the bullet that had come out of Summer's, weapon sending it into a nearby tree. It was a dust bullet because, when Silver turned to look at the tree, a little amount of ice had appear on it. As quick she could, Silver stood up, her legs were shaking and she still had blood on face. She had began to wipe the blood off while staring at her sister. Summer was able to see growing anger in Silver' eyes.
"Liar!"
The next thing that Summer knew was that she was blocking Silver's sabre with her scythe.
"You promised!" Silver cried out with a mix of anger and sadness in her voice. "You promised me six years ago that there's no way you would die and leave me alone! You lied to me!"
"I only said that, but I never promised that to you."
The sister separated after that, went back to staring each other down and waiting, waiting to see who was the next to attack. Silver's teeth were clenched tightly and her the knuckles on her right hand started to turn white as she gripped her sabre. She was mad with her sister, her sister who had been to one in say that, no matter what, dying on this mission wasn't an option. Her sister who had been the one to tell her to not blame herself for the accident. Her sister who had been the one who always told her, "I won't ever leave you alone." Why was Summer now doing the opposite to all the things that she had told her through the years!? Silver had made up her mind, she was going to attack Summer again, but she suddenly noticed several white birds flying in her direction. Summer was using her semblance again and Silver began to protect herself, knocking and slashing the white birds. She finally broke them into small pieces and that was the moment when she realized that there was a glyph beneath her.
White and red petals whirled around her. Silver felt the "Blizzard" had begun to lift her up off of the ground. When the petals finally disappeared, Silver noticed that she was several meters above the ground and she was now falling. She look back at Summer as she fell, Summer was holding her scythe in a manner that looked like she would cut Silver in two at any time but, she instead hit Silver with the handle of White Rose. The younger sister felt the consequences she fell more quickly and impacted against the ground. She didn't faint, but her body certainly hurt due the hit and, as soon she could, Silver reached down to pick her weapon up. As she went to grab her sabre, the sound of gunfire resounded around the place and, the next thing that Silver knew was that her feet were immobilized by ice. Summer had shot several dust bullets at ground by her legs. Petal Dance was just a little far from her, so Silver had began to hit the ice with a nearby rock. She could use her "new" move, but it was dangerous.
The ice encasing Silver's feet didn't break and, as a last hope, Silver threw the rock that was in her hand, but Summer dodged it very easily.
"I must admit." Summer said. "I feel very proud of your determination."
"Shut up!" Silver screamed with tears coming out of her eyes. "You told me and Mia that no matter what, dying isn't a part of our mission. You told me that you won't die, that you won't leave me alone! You're a liar!"
"Sometimes a beautiful lie is better than horrible reality." Summer replied. "You really think that Raven or I would tell you and Mia something like: "We plan to go after Exitium by ourselves and we won't come back, take care.""
"That isn't everything!" Silver said while more tears streamed from her eyes, and then she look at her sister again. "You're an hypocrite! When you got your scars you told me to don't blame myself, that it wasn't my fault! I was the one who decided to go to that place with Mia and, because of that, you and Raven get hurt. But you still blame yourself!? It's had been six years Summer, Six years! It's wasn't your fault or Raven's! Why can't you understand that!?"
Summer body was shaking, and her hands tightened around her scythe. Silver was able to notice a little shine in Summer's silver eyes, it looked like Summer was going lose her cool at any moment, but she quickly took a breath, a very long breath to calm herself.
"Silver, even if you say that isn't my fault, to me it's the opposite. My hands full of blood, our parents bodies near to me, having nightmares about that is something that could easily you of your sleep. In your case, the grimm were the ones who left the scars but, in my case, I was the one who did it. Say Silver, do you know why I don't use my semblance or why my weapon is basically a white version of mommy's?" Summer looked at her sister, Silver shook her head. "My semblance makes me remember mom and that make my heart hurt. My White Rose is a constant reminder of what I did. These last six years haven't been easy for me and a lot of things had happened to Raven since we've arrived, she must feel worst than I do. That's why defeating Exitium is the only thing that we can do to redeem ourselves, even if we have to put our lives in danger."
Silver whispered her sister's name and then Summer moved in front of her, her left hand was resting in Silver's shoulder and her right hand had turned into a fist. Summer smiled at Silver and with tears in her eyes and said. "I'll miss you, my little and important sister." The next thing that Silver felt was a huge pain on her face and then… nothing.
Meanwhile, Raven and Mia's side
Mia could see in the dark and Raven couldn't. That had to give Mia some advantage, or at least that was what she thought. Raven dodged her twin's punches very easily although they were fighting in the middle of the night surrounded by darkness. With the disadvantage that Raven couldn't see very well, Mia found herself very surprised, but she remembered that her sister had always helped her during training sessions. So the fact that Raven could easily dodge Mia's attacks wasn't strange.
"I know all your techniques, Mia." Raven said.
The blonde waited for an opening in Mia's defense, before stop and grabbing Mia's right arm. She threw her twin onto the ground but Mia managed to dodge Raven's foot that was aimed for her stomach. Between the twins, measuring strictly physical strength, then Mia would easily win, but the physical strength doesn't matter if your opponent knows where to hit to leave you unconscious. That was something that Raven knew how to do very well. Raven wasn't using her Bumblebee, something which make Mia a little upset, it was like Raven was trying to tell her, "I don't need a weapon to defeat you."
"Even with that, you're still at a disadvantage." Mia whispered.
Raven could know all of Mia's moves, the blonde didn't inherited the ability to see in the dark and Mia had one thing that could go very unnoticed in the dark. Without Raven noticing, Mia's right eye change from purple to yellow and soon Raven found her right foot tied with her twin's shadow. Mia didn't waste time and she hit Raven right in the face. The blonde managed to free her foot, but her whole body got tied by the shadows. She turned to look her twin in the eyes and noticed how Dragon Fists had returned to their default from of a pair of bracelets. It looked like Mia had won.
"You're a hypocrite!" Mia whimpered. "Why are you doing the opposite of the everything that you always told me!? You…"
"Mia." Raven said with a quiet voice and a stoic face. "You shouldn't think that you already won."
After that, and as quick as she could, Raven took a little flashlight out of her jean's pocket and "shot" a ray of light right in her twin eyes. The light made Mia cover her eyes, the sudden change from dark to light was too much for Mia and she felt Raven tackle her. Mia's Shadow thread could be unbreakable, but if she got distracted the shadow would disappear, a weak point of her semblance that only her family knew. Maybe Raven objective was to ram Mia against something, but Mia wasn't going to let that happen to easily. Mia put her arms around Raven to try to stop her, Mia's feet began to scrape the ground and, in a matter of seconds, the twins began to roll together on the ground.
Mia didn't release Raven, nor did Raven release Mia, but they occasionally managed to land a strike on each other, but the roll didn't seem to stop. Mia was finally able to stop the roll with herself on top of Raven. The black-haired girl's right knee was on her sister's stomach and her arms had Raven's arms caught between the ground and Mia's hands. They were glaring at each other, purple to back down from red.
"Hypocrite!" Mia yelled this time while she began to look at her twin's right arm. "You told me to don't blame myself for what happened to your arm, you told me that dying on this mission was forbidden! You also told me to NOT do stupid and dangerous things by myself! Why are you doing the opposite!? You dumbass!"
"I'm may be a hypocrite, but this is the only thing that I can do to redeem myself. And I CAN blame myself for what happened six years ago. To you, yes a Grimm was the one who took my arm and not you, but in my case, I was the one who did it."
"But you didn't want to do it! It was an accident, AN ACCIDENT! Mom and mama were smiling! You know that they would prefer to die before hurting you or me. They didn't blame you, that's the reason why you don't need to blame yourself!"
"You really think it's that easy? I know that! I know that mom and mama didn't blame me! I don't have to blame myself but, do you have any idea of how hard it is to live with that memory in your head every single fucking day!? These last six years had been hard for Summer and me. Since we've arrived here, things have just gotten worse. I was unable to save grandma and I made mom suffer for that. Defeating Exitium is the only thing that I can do for redeem myself, I don't care what happens to me."
There were some tears coming out of Raven's eyes. There were very few times in which Mia had seen her sister cry, and most of those moments had been in the last few days. Mia whispered her sister name and Raven suddenly lurched forward, using her forehead to hit Mia's nose. Blood began flow and, in a reflexive act, Mia released Raven's arm so she could plug her nose. Raven used all her force to shift Mia's knee off of her stomach but Mia, in a last ditch effort to prevent herself from falling to the ground, used her left hand to grab her sister's hair. Raven began to hit her sister's arm and, in a matter of seconds, Mia found herself on the ground and quickly looked up at the blonde. Mia's body froze when she saw a huge amount of fire coming out of Raven's body, she was very mad. Slowly Mia turn to look at her left hand and felt a great fear grow inside of her when she noticed that there were few strands of blonde hair in her hand, around four or five.
Everyone knew that Raven really only hated it when someone outside of her family messed with her hair or ears, but Mia knew that in that precise moment… she had crossed the line. Even if they were family, even if they were twins, Raven wouldn't forgive Mia for pulling out some strands of hair.
Before realizing what exactly was happening, Mia found Raven in front of her. Raven had grabbed her sister's hair to prevent escape, and the fire was still coming out of her body. She kneed her sister right in the stomach, a hit that literally left Mia without any air in her lungs. She fell to her knees with her arms around her stomach. Mia didn't know that Raven could hit so hard, but things had not ended there. Raven's foot impacted with Mia's face before she could recover. Mia felt a rain of blows fall on her, one punch after another, sometimes another kick. Mia didn't know how many hits she had received, or how much time had passed, but something was certain, it was the most physical pain Mia had endured. Once Raven finally stopped, Mia had ended up face down on the ground, unable to stand up with blood gushing from of her nose and mouth. She had her right arm resting on the ground while her left arm was acting like a support to separate Mia's face from the dirt.
Mia looked down at her sister's prone form. The fire had stopped coming out of her body, but even so, Raven's face was completely emotionless. Mia grit her teeth, she didn't feel angry with her sister, she only felt angry with herself. She felt useless, she couldn't even stop her sister. Was that weak? Raven sighed and a little smile appeared on her face.
"I must admit it, you have improved your abilities. As your sister, I feel really proud of you."
"Then… let me help you."
Raven's smile disappeared. She raised her right leg, she was going to give her last attack, but Mia noticed something strange on her sister's face; regret. It was like Raven regretted whatever she was going to do.
"Sorry." Raven said. "But I don't want to lose you."
And I don't want to lose you too, Mia was going to say, but she was barely able to open her mouth, when she felt a strong pain in the back of her neck. Her face hit the ground and she remained there, her body was immobile. Raven cleaned some drops of blood that were on her cheek, it wasn't her blood, it was Mia's. It was from the moment when Raven hit her in the nose. Raven had never hit Mia before, not even once, and now… she felt really bad with herself for what she had done, but she didn't have any other options.
"For Oum, I never thought that you would be able to do something like that to Mia."
Raven turned to look in the direction that she had heard the voice, it was Summer. She was carrying Silver on her back.
"And I thought that you would never dare to hurt Silver." Raven replied while Summer was placing Silver on the ground next to Mia. There was blood on the young girl's nose and there was knuckle marks over Silver's left eye. Summer sighed and began to look at the little drops of blood on her dress. Hurting Silver was the only thing that Summer had never done before and she felt horrible with herself for that, but there wasn't time for those feelings. Summer turned back towards Raven, the blonde nodded and, without a single word, she took Bumblebee and slash it through the air, a portal appear in front of them.
"Do you think that we did right?" Raven asked while glancing to her unconscious sister and cousin, Raven was seriously regretting what she had done to Mia.
"I'm asking myself the same thing." Summer said while she was looking at her sister, the thought that Silver will have a black-eye from her the next day made Summer feel guilty. "But I think that we did the right thing because… I couldn't ever be able to bear losing Silver."
"And I won't be able to bear losing Mia."
Without another word, they made eye contact.
"Partners in crime…" Summer whispered
"...until the end." Raven whispered back.
They entered to the portal together, both their hearts heavy with the regret that they hurt their sisters, but they didn't regret their decision to fight against Exitium by themselves. Even if costs them their lives, because the last thing that they wanted was to lose their sisters like they lost their parents.
.
.
.
Mia's head felt heavy and her neck was hurt tremendously. She opened her eyes and the first thing that she saw was a ceiling. It was disorienting, she didn't know where she was, but even so, she decided to try to sit up, but her body began to hurt. Her face, feet, stomach, almost all her body hurt.
"Don't move too much." Glynda words hit her ears. That was the moment when Mia realized that she was in Ozpin's room. Qrow was giving Silver, who had regained conscious before her, a bag of ice for her left eye. Mia was still disoriented, and her head was dizzy, so the word "What?" was the only thing that was able to leave her mouth. Qrow was the one to answer.
Qrow confessed that he had gotten the feeling that Summer and Raven were going try to do something dangerous in the middle of the night and, knowing them, they would try to do that thing between the four and five of the morning. What he ended up finding was Mia and Silver unconscious on the ground, with blood on their faces and signs of blunt trauma on their bodies. Now that Mia and Silver had woken up, he ask them what had exactly had happened, and where Summer and Raven were. He had searched for both of them but he didn't find either of them. After hearing that Mia, looked at Silver and Silver looked at Mia, both of them had just remembered what had happen. Silver threw the ice bag across the room and began to touch her left eye while Mia put her right hand on the back of her neck.
"T-they decided to go after Exitium by themselves…" Mia whispered. "We tried to stop them… everything was in vain… they beat us and left… what time is it? Someone tell me the time! How long have we had been unconscious!?"
"Calm yourself!" Glynda said while she put her hand on Mia's shoulders. "Qrow found you and Silver at 3:40am and right now it is 9:50am."
9:50… that mean that Exitium will awaken in about an hour and ten minutes. They still had time to go after Summer and Raven but… how!? Raven had destroyed Mia's dark crystal, so going to the "Dark Zone" was totally impossible. Mia clenched her teeth, even if she wanted to help her sister and cousin… she couldn't. Mia had began to feel impotent and useless, her sister and cousin were in danger and she couldn't do anything for help them. Then an idea came to her mind, a little light of hope, her grandma's sword; she used to use that sword to open portals. The sword must have a compartment filled with dark crystal powder. They needed to get to Patch as soon as possible. Mia quickly turn to look at Silver and it looked like she had the same idea.
"Let's go." Mia said while she stood up. "We're wasting time."
The two girls began to go towards the door, they had very clear idea what they had to do. They needed to get their ship, go the Patch, take the sword, open a portal, and help their sisters, even if they didn't want it. Suddenly Mia and Silver felt someone grab them by, in Mia's case, her shirt, and in Silver's case, the hood of her sweatshirt. Mia and Silver looked back to see who was stopping them, it was Qrow.
"Can I know where you plan on going?" He asked.
"Isn't it obvious!" Mia retorted. "We going to help our sisters, even if they don't want it! Let us go, you're wasting time."
"I don't mean that!" Qrow said, making Mia and Silver look him in the eye. "Summer and Raven deceived us. Glynda and I were supposed to accompany you and now, don't tell me that you two are planning to go after your sisters by yourselves."
"And, so what? Do you have a problem or something like that!?" Silver said.
Mia quickly looked back at Silver. There were only a few time in which Silver got upset enough to snap at people, this was one of those times. Mia turned away a little because, when Silver got mad… she really got mad.
"Even if you have a plan, one wrong move and you four will die. I know that neither of you is weak, but it's still dangerous."
"We came from a very shitty future, we know how powerful Exitium is, this isn't the first time that we put our life in danger and…" Silver clenched her fists, she was wasting time but now there wasn't turning back. Right now, whatever she wanted to say she was going say. "It's supposed to be that we shouldn't exist right now! We just came here to change our timeline and prevent a lot of fucking things, so, WHO CARES IF WE DIE!?"
"I care!" Qrow yelled back. "I already lost my sister, I don't plan on losing another member of my family!"
Mia began to feel bad and sad after hearing that, she looked back at Silver, but it did not seem that she was calming down. She was feeling sad, but still… she still looked upset and she was clenching her fists.
"I understand." She said. "I really understand, but still… this is something personal between Exitium and us. Summer and Raven are strong, stronger than me and Mia, but like you say, a wrong move and they could die. Because of that, we must be the ones to go after them. I don't know how many things they had planned to do before we arrived here in the past, but since the beginning, Mia and I had planned to defeat Exitium together, with our sisters."
"Do you really think that I don't have something personal against him too? Salem was basically the female version of him. Essentially, he was the one who killed my sister!"
"AND HE MADE OUR SISTERS KILL OUR PARENTS!"
Silence.
Silver was trying to catch her breath, Mia was clenching her fists, neither of them, not even in the worst of situations, had wished to reveal that information. Before anyone was able to ask a question, Mia began to talk.
"Or at least, that is what our sisters think." She said, trying not look at anyone but Silver. "Exitium's heart and mind are rotten and full of darkness, those feelings are so strong that he can corrupt the hearts of people. He has the ability to turn people into grimm. We don't know how, but Summer and Raven heard about the silver eyes and they thought that if they accompanied our parents, Summer would be able to help them. Mom, mama and aunties… they began to turned into grimm in front of them, Summer and Sis took our parents weapons and began to run away…"
Mia bit her lip, she didn't feel like she was able to say it, but even if she didn't complete the story, it was easy to deduce the result.
"So Summer and Raven were the ones who…" Glynda was started to speak but she was interrupted by Silver.
"It was an accident. Our sisters didn't wanted to do that. It was like when you accidentally hit someone while you are playing with them. In the moment they just closed their eyes and, before realize it, they saw our parents stabbed by their own weapons, weapons which Summer and Raven were holding. The reason why Exitium never attacked Atlas was because Summer was there, she had almost awoken her eyes' powers then and there, but the trauma had been too strong. It was just an accident, they really didn't want to do it, but…"
"Summer and Raven don't look at it like that." Mia continued. "From their point of view, they are our parents' killers. Silver and I thought that if we made them spend time with our parents pastselves, that if we spent time as a family, they would realize that they didn't need to blame themselves. But, in the end, that didn't work."
"Since when did you two find this out?" Qrow ask.
"Before we arrive to the past." Mia answered. "After realizing that Summer and Raven had gone after our parents, you and auntie decided to go after them too, and the first thing that you found were our sisters crying and covered with blood. They never talked much about the incident, but auntie and you quickly figured out what had happened. Aside from you two, no one knew that until right before we time-traveled. You two told us the truth, even if you promised Summer and Raven that you won't tell us the true. The reason was very simple, Summer and Raven are still blaming themselves for that and, knowing them, the probability of something like what is happening right now was very high. Grunkle… your futureself told us… that you didn't want our sisters end up the same as the people from whom they were named after."
Qrow sighed and turned towards Ozpin and Glynda. He only looked at them briefly before he turned back to look at his great-nieces. The two looked very sad and he was feeling very frustrated with himself. In some strange way, he had make Mia and Silver talk about something very difficult, but he could understand why his futureself had told them the truth. The last sentences that Mia had said… Summer Rose had been killed by Salem and Raven Branwen too. Now Summer Rose-Schnee and Raven Xiao Long-Belladonna went to fight against Exitium… of course he won't let his great-nieces end like his friend and sister. He sighed again and made his decision.
"Well, as you said, we're wasting time. Let's go and help those two."
"Grunkle." Mia said. "Didn't you hear us? We said that this was something between the four of us."
Team SSMR had arrived to the past with three cans of anesthetic, two of them had been used to incapacitate Cinder Fall, so there was still one can. That was the one Mia was taking out of her shorts pocket. Both Qrow and Glynda had hardly been able to say, "Don't you dare…" before being sprayed by Mia. They both fell unconscious to the floor and Mia looked at her scroll find out the time, 10:15. Qrow and Glynda should wake up in about 12 hours. Mia glanced at Silver and Silver nodded. They turned to look at Ozpin, there was no need to leave him unconscious, his leg was still broken and it wasn't going to heal for another few months. He could hardly stand even with his cane's help, he wasn't a problem, so Mia and Silver went to the door.
"Are you two fine with this?" Ozpin suddenly asked, after all he was the type of person who listened first and talked later. "Summer and Raven don't have to blame themselves and you two try very hard to make them understand that. But still, leaving like this, leaving a friend and a family unconscious, leaving your parents without telling them who you really are, are you two really fine with that?"
Oh man. Why Ozpin always need to say something like that? Of course they weren't fine with that, they… well Mia, felt bad for what she have done to Glynda and Qrow. They both really felt bad for leaving their parents like this, without letting them know who they really were, but… that wasn't the moment to worry about it.
"Yeah." Mia said while she opened the door. "We're fine with that. We leave Grunkle and Glynda in your hands and… see you again in the future."
"I'm sure that you will still be the headmaster when we attend Beacon in the future" Silver said. "And Glynda will still be a professor, so, like Mia said, see you again in the future."
Without another word, the two left.
.
.
.
"Fuck!" Mia screamed while she hit the ship's control panel.
There wasn't fuel in the ship, or more specifically, the fuel tank had been damaged. Someone had made a hole in it and Summer or Raven were most like the ones responsible for that. After all, the four were family, so the two of them must had thought about what would happen if Mia and Silver woke up. They try to use the ship to arrive to Patch more quickly, if they used a rowboat they would arrive to Patch after the eleven o´clock. Mia bit her lip trying to think about what they should do while Silver looked at her Scroll. It was 10:20, they were running out of time and then she turned to look at her cousin.
"Mia instead of staying here and wasting time, we should go to the port and take the first rowboat that we see. We're running out of time."
"Yeah, you're right." Mia answered, giving the control panel another hit. "Let's go or it will be the 10:30 before we realize it."
With Silver's semblance, they would arrive to the port in a matter of seconds. After that the only thing that they need was row like a pair of crazy people to reach Patch before eleven o'clock. Silver was the first in leave the cockpit and Mia decided to hit to the control panel one last time. It wasn't like it would start working because of that, but that was the only way Mia could vent her frustration and she hear Silver yelp. Mia panicked, did someone follow them? If so, who? Mia pulled her anesthetic can out of her pocket, whoever it was, he or she will end up unconscious in no time.
When Mia come out, she began to look for Silver but quickly noticed a small white bird who hit her in the hand, making her drop the can. After that, the bird disintegrated and disappeared. Before Mia could move to pick up the can, a black blade whirled out of her peripheral vision and sliced into the can, spreading its contents over the ground. It was then that Mia noticed that someone was holding onto Silver to prevent her from using her semblance.
"Can I know what you two are doing?" Mia heard.
The white bird who had hit her, a bird that had been summoned with an specific semblance, the black blade who had destroyed the can on the floor, the person who was holding onto Silver, the voice she had heard. Mia and Silver knew everything to well, quickly Mia began to look in the direction that she had heard that voice and she found herself face with face with her aunt, Ruby. Weiss was next to her, Blake was holding her sword, and Yang was the one who was restraining Silver.
"What are you two doing?" Ruby asked again "And where are Summer and Raven?"
"I…I…I…" Mia's body was shaking and she could hardly get get any words out of her mouth. "Cla-cla-classi…"
"Don't you dare say "Classified"." Weiss said. "We made up our minds and we want an answer. Since we met all of you, we realized that you know things, a lot of things, things that a normal person shouldn't know. We want the answers and this time we won't accept "classified" as one of them. By the way, Yang, don't apply much force on Silver. We want to stop her, not hurt her."
"I understand, I understand." She said looking down at Silver. "I'm not hurting you, right?"
Silver didn't answer, she was shaking like Mia.
"Mia." Blake said, putting her right hand on one of Mia's shoulders. "We just want to know the truth, whatever it is, we can bear it."
That was the last thing that Mia wanted to hear, she fell to her knees. Silver had some tears in the corner of her eyes when she saw her cousin. Mia put her hands and head on the ground, she was bowing in front of her aunt Ruby, since she was the team leader, Mia needed to say everything in front of her first.
"M-Mia, what are you doing?" Ruby said feeling confused herself.
"Help us!" Mia cried. "Summer and Raven… Summer and Raven are in danger."
After hearing that, team RWBY looked at each other, what was going on? Yang had let go of Silver but, instead of running, she did the same as her cousin and then turn to see each other, neither of them knew if it was a good idea to tell the truth at that moment, but they needed help. Summer and Raven needed help, and they had wanted to say the truth a long time ago, in different kind of situation. Right now that didn't matter, they didn't know if what they were about to do was correct, they didn't know if the people in front of them would believe their words, but in the current situation… they really needed their parents help. They need their help and not as friends, they needed their help as a family. Silver was still staring at Mia, she didn't feel like she was able to say a single word, so Mia took a breath and began to talk.
"We don't know if you are going to believe us." She said. "But right now we really need help. We know things that we shouldn't know because we aren't from this time, and our names aren't Mia Xiabon and Silver Rosch."
"W-wait a minute." Ruby said, trying to understand what she had heard "So your names aren't Mia and Silver… then that means that Summer and Raven's names aren't Summer and Raven? And what do you mean when you say, "We aren't from this time"?"
"My name is Mia, Silver's name is Silver, and our sisters names are the same, but we lied about our surnames." Mia took another deep breath and prepared for what she was going to say next. There was no turning back now, but right now that was the thing that she care about. She brought her head up and began to look at her family, her parents more than others and Silver was doing the same. "Like I said, we're not from this time, we come twenty years into the future and our true names… our true surnames are, Mia Xiao Long-Belladonna and Silver Rose-Schnee."
Remaing time until Exitium awake: 20 minutes!.
