A.N.: I've been doing my best to get these out within a week of each other. Due to that schedule, I feel like my work could be doing a little better. To compensate with this, uploads might be coming out a bit slower than usual so that you all get my better quality of work.
Blake: Aww, I'll miss the one chapter a week release schedule.
Me: I'm not sure if some people even noticed or not, to tell you the truth.
rwbyfan5: I noticed. As did Nox. Nox notices everything.
Me: I'm pretty sure that if you edit the story and to the AN's, it doesn't really count.
Rusty: Where's RedMoose, I like hearing that guy talk almost as much as you talking like an idiot.
RedMoose: APPLY COLD WATER TO A BURNT AREA!... I was FEASTING ON CAKE thank you very little!
Me: Say the devil's name and he shall appear. Shall we just get to the point?
Fights? Again? Really?
"Prepare yourselves everyone!" Cinder smiled as her power formed into fire that burned around her eyes.
"What are you?" Mag asked, trembling in fear.
"I am one of the Seasonal Maidens. And now, because of this, I am a hero." Cinder closed her eyes and took a breath.
"No!" Ruby shouted in an outburst before realising her mistake and backing off a little.
"Ruby?" Yang asked in surprise.
"Oh? And how am I not a hero? Please, do explain." Cinder held out her hand and a small fire appeared in the palm.
"W-well, a hero is someone who will fight for what is right, and a person who protects people. It's not their power that makes them a hero, it's what they use that power for. I think that if you wanted to be a hero, you just need to be honest and good." Ruby said shyly
"Well, you may be right, but nobody can argue with me if their dead." Cinder smiled and held up her hand, pointing it at Ruby.
Her hand closed briefly, but when she opened her hand up again, a flame burst. The attack hit Ruby square in the chest and sent her flying backwards.
"Ruby!" Yang sent herself running toward her sister and helped her up off of her back.
"Y-yang. I'm s-so-rry." Ruby wheezed. She looked over to see the rest of her friends running up to help her.
"Ruby, are you okay?!" Yang said in a panic.
"I-I don't feel so hot." Ruby chuckled slightly.
"Did that hurt you?" Yang asked trying to calm down a bit.
"My chest hurts, a lot." Ruby said.
"You see now, this is what will happen to those who get in my way." Cinder glared at the blonde holding Ruby in her arms.
"Mag, make sure Ruby's alright." Yang glared back with burning red eyes.
"What are you going too-."
"Just make sure she's alright." Yang clenched her fists together and stared at Cinder.
"Well, it's not fair if you get a team against me, so I'll just ask my team to help as well." Cinder smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Teal asked.
"We will be your opponents, whether you like it or not. I'll leave that up to you to decide." Cinder began to levitate above the ground as fire spewed out of her eyes. Her teammates fell in behind her and she readied her bow and arrows.
"Could we start this already? I could use a workout." Torchwick asked leaning on his cane.
"Then our team, led by my sister Ruby R-" Yang started.
"Oh believe me Yang, we already know all of your names." Cinder said cutting Yang off.
"H-how do you know my name?" Yang asked keeping her feet firmly planted in the ground.
"Oh, your friend, what was his name again? It seems to have slipped my mind." Cinder held onto her chin and fought back the smile spreading across her face.
"Steel? Where is he?!" Rusty demanded walking up beside Yang.
"Oh, that's right. He's on a mission right now, I believe. Adam, care to tell them the objective of the mission?" Cinder rolled her eyes and looked at the red haired bull faunus.
"If you're referring to the mission that I sent Oriana and Steel on, the objective was to capture an H.V.T. of the Schnee Dust Company." Adam said showing zero emotion in his words.
"What?" Weiss stepped forward in surprise.
"You heard me." Adam said. Even though his eyes were behind his mask, Weiss could tell that he had narrowed his gaze onto her in a glaring form.
"You White Fang, you need to stop hurting my family!" Weiss scowled pointing Myrtenaster at Adam.
"Just try and stop us, you're free to try here." Adam smirked.
"Oh trust me, I will!" Weiss said putting a glyph at her feet and prepared to bound off of it. She glared and readied herself to spring off of the large glyph behind her.
"Well so much for the mission, turning back due to extreme wind speeds, mixed with heavy frost warning. That's fucking bullshit!" Oriana scowled at the ground.
"It's fine, we'll just have to report it to Adam." Steel said sounding annoyed.
"How many times are you going to say that? We've been flying back for what feels like forever, so why do you keep saying that?" Oriana scowled.
"I just want to keep a good mood about me now, I can't let the situation get the better of me." Steel said confidently,
"That's not what you were saying a few hours ago." Orina glared.
"Now that's not fair, you just, you know what, never mind." Steel said turning his back.
"Look, it's not good for teammates to argue, so, I'm sorry." Oriana sighed.
"Okay, and, I'm sorry too." Steel said calmly. Steel shook the thought of his old teammates from his head and refocused on what was going on
"Hey, you two back there, wake up. We have a situation down there, it looks like there are some kids are at the warehouse and we're moving to assist." The copilot said, as he did, the airship began to tilt to the right and descend.
"Get your axe ready, we're going in." Oriana said.
"Speaking of weapons, what is yours?" Steel asked looking around for Axe Gevar.
"Oh, my weapons are these gauntlets, they're string based and fire these grapple hooks. Word of advice though, don't touch the string, it's sharper than a brand new blade." Oriana warned
"That's pretty cool." Steel nodded.
"Yeah, I guess so." Oriana exhaled deeply. She looked down at the standoff below and began observing the area.
"What's the situation?" Steel asked calmly.
"Unidentified and probably hostile targets down below. Count, seven. Weapons, yes. Drawn weapons, also a yes." Oriana reported as she gazed over the scene.
"What was the count again?" Steel asked in a small panic.
"Seven, why do you-" Oriana started before Steel pushed her aside.
"You've got to be kidding me right now." Steel said in horror.
"I could say the same to you, but I'll ask the you take your hand off of my chest first of all." Oriana's tone dropped as she said those last couple words. Steel turned to her with a questioning expression before he checked to see where his hand was.
"I've watched too much TV, there's no way that this actually just happened." Steel thought. He looked down at his hand and his eyes went wide. He pulled his hand away quickly.
"Uh, I, umm, s-sorry." Steel stuttered while backing away in fear.
"It's fine, whatever, I think our side needs some reinforcements though, wouldn't you agree?" Oriana's expression went from cold killer to calm and relaxed in an instant as she looked down at the group below.
"Dropping you two off at the warehouse." The pilot shouted. Oriana opened the doors to the airship and looked down to get a better view.
"Do a fly-by, we'll jump when you get low enough! Hey Steel, now would be a good time to equip your armor." Oriana said putting one of her gauntlets in front of her face.
"Got it on already, let's go." Steel sighed. He realised she couldn't hear him and gave a thumbs up in place of what he'd said.
"On my mark, you jump!" The pilot shouted.
"Five second heads up!" Oriana replied.
"Roger,
"Five!" Both of them walked up to the door and looked down
"Four!" Steel took a deep breath while Oriana kept scanning the area down below
"Three!"
"Get ready to jump!" Oriana said with a smiled spread wide across her face.
"Two!" Steel readied himself to jump and took another quick breath
"One!" Both gazes tightened as they waited for the go.
"Jump!" Both Oriana and Steel launched themselves out of the airship and stuck the landing behind Cinder and the rest of their group.
"Well, I stand corrected, looks like he's right here in front of your eyes." Adam smiled smugly.
"S-Steel?" Blake asked in a questioning tone.
"You bastard!" Rusty shouted as his eyes swirled with rage.
"Hey Rusty, it's been awhile." Steel said with a fake confidence in his voice, despite that, he couldn't look any of his former friends straight in the eye without turning away swiftly.
"Don't give me that! Why the hell did you do it you god damn backstabber?!" Rusty shouted again and Steel's eyes closed. Mag had helped Ruby back onto her feet and now all seven of them were standing in a line, all with weapons drawn.
"So these are those pitiful excuses of friends that you told me about." Oriana said calmly.
"I never said that." Steel whispered.
"I don't know who you are, but you had better watch your mouth if you know what's good for you!" Yang shouted.
"I know tensions are really high right now, but could we all just calm down a bit." Steel said trying to calm down himself. Blake stepped forward and locked eyes with Steel sending a shiver down Steel's spine. She took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Steel,if my theory is correct, I know that you're not wanting to be standing with them, I know you don't want to fight us. Even after everything you've done to hurt us, your old school, your old friends, me. I just want to say that I forgive you." Her words sounded calm and caring, right from the bottom of her heart. Steel felt a grin slide onto his face as he heard her soothing words echo in his head.
"Aww, that's so sweet. Hey! Weren't we about to fight or something?" Torchwick piped up.
"So we were, now then, we will do this tournament style. One versus one." Cinder agreed.
"Why should we listen to your rules?" Rusty scoffed.
"First of all, we outnumber you, second of all, we overpower you, and third, we're smarter." Adam answered bluntly.
"Now then, we shall play by our rules." Cinder said as a grin appeared on her face.
"What do we do? Even if we run, they'll catch us and probably kill us anyway." Yang whispered.
"You're probably right Yang, besides, I want to give Steel a piece of my mind." Rusty spoke at the same tone but glared at the Faunus boy across from them.
"We accept then!" Teal said formally extending his sword.
"Good." Cinder dropped from the air onto her feet and took a sword in each hand.
"Who will you send out first then?" Torchwick asked.
"I'll go first, I need to vent some rage." Yang said stepping forward.
"In that case, Neo, if you would." The girl smiled up at Torchwick and walked forward as well, twirling her umbrella as she walked.
"Look, I don't really care who you are exactly, but could we just get this over with as quickly as possible?" Yang sighed obnoxiously. Neo looked Yang in the eyes and gave a smug grin.
"Go!" Cinder shouted.
Without hesitation, Yang took her gauntlet and batted at Neo's head, only for a mirror image of her to shatter before Yang's eyes. Yang looked around quickly to try and find her but had almost no luck. Suddenly, a glimmer appeared behind her catching her eye. Yang felt something hit her foot and it swept her off of her feet. Yang looked again, but could only feel her rage building more as she was unable to locate Neo.
Yang got up onto her feet and saw Neo standing in front of her just twirling her umbrella. Yang's eyes were now burning bright red. She sprinted at full speed toward Neo, only to have Neo deploy her umbrella and have her attack bounce off, making Yang step back to balance herself. Yang countered by firing two shotgun shells toward Neo's umbrella, only for them to burst into flame when they made contact with the umbrella and leave no effect on Neo at all. She fired a few more only for them to have the same effect and felt her rage building more and more. Neo lowered her umbrella and smiled gleefully.
Yang took a deep breath and ran at Neo again. She tried an uppercut, only for Neo to grab onto her arm, twirl off of it, land on Yang's shoulders, and launch herself off. Yang tried tracking her in the air but lost her in the glare of the sunlight. Neo slammed her feet into Yang's chest as she landed setting Yang to the floor. Yang shouted in pain as she felt her aura begin to break. Neo looked down to notice that her aura was still intact, and stepped off for a brief moment. She loomed over Yang and smiled as she kicked Yang in the head. Yang's aura shattered and Neo gave a bow toward the teen's group. She hopped away from Yang and skipped happily back to her side.
"Excellent job, I can always count on you." Cinder smiled slightly. Neo turned to her and beamed her way. She then skipped back to Torchwick and began to twirl her umbrella again.
"Hey, you're not supposed to deplete the target's aura level completely!" Teal shouted in protest.
"What? Oh, you must have meant the official tournament rules. In our tournament, you deplete the aura as far as you want to." Cinder shrugged.
"What kind of rules are those? Did you just make them up?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, people could get seriously hurt, or even killed like that!" Ruby said in agreement.
"That's the rules you agreed to, besides, if you backed out now, that would be an insult to our team. We wouldn't want to do that now would we?" Cinder said calmly.
"Yang? Are you okay?" Ruby asked wide eyed. Yang's arm twitched and she gave a thumbs up. Ruby dashed over to help her sister and brought her onto her feet.
"Now then, who's next?" Roman asked.
"I will." Rusty said glaring at the opponents across from him.
"Hey, Neo, I have a question for you." Torchwick said looking down at her as she looked up at him excitedly. "Are you up for a team round?" Neo nodded excitedly, despite just having a fight with Yang about a minute ago.
"What? Two against one? That hardly seems fair, Roman." Cinder said calmly.
"If it's a team battle, then I'm in. Besides, it's been too long since we kicked some ass together." Teal said extending his sword.
"You can say that again." Rusty smiled excitedly.
"Alright, a two versus two round then. Interesting." Cinder grinned.
"I just have one question, you obviously could beat us at any time, so why draw it out more than you need to." Teal asked bravely.
"All you need to know, is that She want's to see what Ozpin's guardians are made of. So, we shall test your skills here, now, and if you survive, in the future.." Cinder glared menacingly.
"And if this is just a test of our skill, why risk our lives?" Teal questioned.
"I did say Ozpin's guardians, I never specified you and your group." Cinder replied with a sly grin. She stepped back and let Torchwick and Neo take the floor. Both boys glanced at each other, nodded, and refocused on their two opponents in front of them.
"Begin when you're ready." Cinder said calmly.
"Do you have a plan?" Rusty asked allowing the blade of his weapon to turn away from the gun barrels. He held his weapon and a dagger now and put himself in a combat ready stance.
"When don't I?" Teal stopped for a moment before adding onto his comment" That is when it's just us two." He said giving Rusty a smile.
"What do I do?" Rusty asked as a grin slid onto his face.
"Keep the candy cane distracted, and keep his back to , I'd like some ice cream today." Teal smiled back. They both readied themselves defensively, and calmed their senses.
Neo skipped up to the two boys and smiled. Before they could do anything, Neo's smile turned into an evil grin. Rusty punched at Neo, only to have a mirror image of her break into tiny pieces. Teal closed his eyes for a brief moment. He pointed his weapon into the air and the tips of his blade folder over to reveal two gun barrels at the end of the weapon. He fired into the air, suddenly, there was a tiny squeek of pain, and Neo came crashing down from the sky.
"Surprise!" Torchwick said about to hit Teal with the end of his cane. Before he could, Rusty jumped in the way and activated his semblance. A light blue shield formed from the edge of his hand and Torchwick's attack went ricocheting off, and knocking Torchwick off balance.
"Sorry, wasn't really surprised that much." Teal said in a taunting tone. Roman turned and glared at Teal. Torchwick sprinted to get his cane from the ground as soon as he saw it, but Rusty was a step ahead of him. He fired three consecutive bursts of dust rounds toward his cane's location. All of the shots nailed Roman as he turned around, but he was quick to respond. Roman fired a few rounds toward Rusty. The rounds were shot at him from separate angles making them extremely hard to dodge under and block with. Rusty ducked under two of the shots and turned to face another one to block it with his semblance. Torchwick had launched another shot afterward and it nailed Rusty in the back of the head. Rusty face planted onto the ground and rubbed the back of his head.
"Oww, son of an eight bit game!" Rusty got onto his feet and glared at Torchwick.
"Rusty, are you okay?" Teal asked glancing back at him as Neo's umbrella whizzed past his face.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine, focus on your own fight!" Rusty shouted back at him. Teal closed his eyes and looked away for a split second.
"Got it." Teal said deflecting Neo's umbrella downward with his weapon just before it hit him. Teal looked back and swung his blade in Neo's direction. The action was met in vain as all he cut through was the air where she supposedly once stood. Neo had jumped backwards and performed a handspring to get back into a solid footing. She looked at him curiously before giving Teal a smile.
"This encounter isn't a fight is it? No, it can't really be a fight if you can't hit your opponent, and they can't hit you." Teal sighed causing Neo to chuckle a bit.
"Here's question for you, I have a plan, do you?" Teal smiled ominously. Neo's smiled faded and she prepared to fight him once again with a more serious look spread across her face.
"Alright, let's swing." Teal sighed. He retracted the blade to turn the sword into it's pistol form and fired at the girl. Neo reacted quickly by extending her umbrella outward and used it as a shield to block the incoming fire just as she had in the fight against Yang.. Teal kept firing and began strafing to the left. Neo held up her umbrella to keep blocking the shots as they came. Teal stopped strafing suddenly but kept up his steady fire. Teal stopped firing for a moment to reload and checked behind Neo to see how Rusty was holding up. He had just flipped over Torchwick and was about to shoot him in the back. Teal raised his loaded weapon and Neo ducked behind her umbrella again. He strafed to the right this time, although, he had a different target in mind. He fired past Neo to her surprise and hit Torchwick in the back. Rusty took the hint and began firing at Neo landing some solid shots before she could block the attacks.
Both sides decided to regroup with each other and ran to their teammates. Teal looked over at Rusty who was clutching his stomach in pain. Rusty saw the curiosity on Teal's face and waved of the suspicion of pain. Rusty and Teal readied themselves again. To check their aura levels, Teal briefly pulled out his scroll. Rusty was well under half and almost out entirely.
"Shit." Teal whispered to himself. He looked up at his opponents and extended his blade.
"Oh I am just having the time of my life right now!" Torchwick said extending his arms outward.
"Yeah, ain't we just." Rusty sighed.
"What's the matter kiddo? You getting tired already? If that's the case, you should workout more. It's probably why you can't get the attention of any ladies." Torchwick mocked. Rusty retaliated quickly by firing three bursts at Torchwick, only for Neo and her parasol to block them.
"Damn you!." Rusty growled.
"Easy, just try to take him out, I'll stall for time, then we take out the girl." Teal said in a tone that only Rusty could hear.
"What's even the point, we're all screwed anyway." Rusty sighed.
"Well, we don't really have another choice at this point." Teal replied calmly.
"Hey, are you two done talking? Or is there some action you two need to discuss in private?" Torchwick said bluntly.
"Alright, that's it!" Rusty shouted, ready to launch himself at Roman.
"Go!" Teal shouted. Both he and Rusty rushed their opponents at full speed slightly taking Torchwick by surprise. He began bombarding the area in front of him with explosive rounds fire, hoping to hit one of the teens. However, with Teal's speed, and Rusty's shield semblance, he couldn't land a single hit. Rusty rushed at him with the blade of his weapon and he gave a chuckle.
"You know kid, that didn't exactly work out for you last time, why try again?" Torchwick said swinging at Rusty. Their weapons clashed and they held their ground against each other. Rusty leaped into the air to get behind Torchwick. Roman smiled and turned to intercept Rusty
"Hope this works." Rusty mumbled. He activated his semblance. Using his side of the shield, he placed his feet onto the energy and hopped backwards off of it. He landed where he was before, although, it was behind Torchwick this time. He slashed at Torchwick's back while he had the edge bringing Torchwick's aura down a bit. Roman turned to block the second attack.
"Shit! Rusty, heads up!" Teal shouted. Rusty looked over to see Neo running toward him. Rusty bashed Torchwick with the blunt of his blade and swung the blade at Neo as she got in range, only for her image to shatter into glass shards. Rusty felt the side of Neo's umbrella nail him in the head and send him stepping to the side. Rusty gave a sigh as felt his aura all but leave him, he was basically unprotected now. He heard a laugh and turned to the sound only for Torchwick to suddenly fire a round toward him. Rusty tried to get out of the way, but the round singed the right side of his face. Rusty cried out as his aura level dropped to zero and he felt a burning sensation on his face.
"Rusty!" Teal shouted. Rusty felt himself go limp as he fell to the floor in exhaustion. Teal ran up to his partner and turned him onto his back.
"Damn it! We forfeit!"Teal shouted examining Rusty's face. "Oh god. This is all my fault." Teal said as a tear rolled down his face. The shot Roman fired had not only completely depleted his aura, but it had also severely burned the right side of Rusty's face near his eye.
"I guess we win then? Aww, and I was having fun too." Torchwick shrugged while Neo smiled playfully.
"Rusty!" Mag shouted appearing to his left . She knelt down and examined the damage.
"You might not want to see this." Teal said turning the burnt part of Rusty's face out of her view. She gave him a questioning look of worry. Teal took a deep breath and looked Mag in the eye.
"I couldn't see what happened exactly, so tell me." Mag said in worry. At this point, team RWBY had also gathered around Rusty. Teal glanced around quickly, but his vision refocused on Mag
"It's my fault, that she-devil got passed me and then she took out Rusty's aura level almost completely. Torchwick fired a round at Rusty and with his aura where it was, it sindged the side of his face causing a really bad burn." Teal explained trying to stay calm.
"You really need to stop doing that you know." Rusty said in pain catching them both by surprise.
"Rusty? What are you talking about?" Teal asked.
"Stop blaming yourself, you slipped up, it was an accident, neither of us was at fault you moron." Rusty chuckled. Teal smiled but avoided his gaze.
"Let's get him off this field." Teal said.
"Hey Teal? Why are you looking at the bad side of this?" Rusty said as Teal and Mag helped him onto his feet.
"What do you mean?" Teal asked out of curiosity.
"Chicks are going to swarm me to find out what happened." Rusty chuckled again.
"You always did have that side to you." Teal sighed. They set him down in dry grass and laid him on his back.
"Let me see." Mag said calmly.
"You sure, I don't want to scare you or anything." Rusty joked.
"I'm positive Rusty." Mag replied in a more serious tone. Rusty gave out a sigh and turned his head so she had a good view of what happened. Mag gasped at the sight of his face.
"Rusty must've turned his head causing the shot to hit more of his face. Can't blame him for trying to get out of the way, but that's gotta hurt" Mag thought. It was worse than she had expected to see. There was a straight line of charred skin going from just passed his eye, down to burning his ear. She took a long look and sighed.
"That bad huh? Rusty joked.
"I hate to interrupt, but we have a schedule to follow." Cinder said from across the small field.
"I'll fight next." Mag decided. "Do me a favour and don't let Rusty do anything stupid, alright?" Mag smiled toward her friends as she stepped forward onto the field.
"Alright, Adam, if you would." Cinder said calmly. Adam sighed and stepped forward unsheathing Wilt and Blush. Mag gave a questioned response but drew Trick Fouet regardless.
"I thought Adam would be fighting Blake? Why is he fighting me all of a sudden? Mag thought to herself. She gave him a look of curiosity and readied herself for the fight.
"Begin." Cinder declared. Mag held Trick Fouet defensively with both hands and waited for Adam to make the first move. Adam sighed and launched himself toward Mag at a much faster speed than Mag had anticipated. She teleported behind him and slashed at his rear, only for Adam to block behind his back without looking at her. Adam turned swiftly and using the turns momentum, swung at her chest. Mag hopped backwards to dodge, but her arm got hit by the slash in her motion.
"Damn." Mag said under her breath. She looked down at her sweater to see that her right sleeve had been cut slightly. Mag refocused and went on the defencive. She slashed at his chest only to have him block the attack again. It didn't stop her from keeping on the aggression though. She would attack, only for the blade to be blocked by Wilt and Blush. Mag jumped backwards and landed ready to send herself flying at Adam. She leapt off of the ground and flicked a tiny lever on her handle. When Adam blocked her attack as usual, her blade wrapped around his blade and slashed his face.
Adam didn't even falter, suddenly, he kicked Mag in the stomach ruthlessly causing a ghasp of pain from the teen. His plan slightly backfired however. When Mag was sent back, so was her blade which came around his sword slashing him in the face again. Adam looked up from the slash, but Mag was gone. She had teleported to a distance behind him and began firing her pistol. Adam turned at the first shot only being able to block the next four that came afterward. Mag vanished in an instant and cause Adam to search his surroundings again.
"She's doing pretty good." Ruby said excitedly.
"He's taunting her, I don't know why, but it's almost like he doesn't want to fight her." Blake said observingly.
"He's probably just pissy that he doesn't get to fight you." Rusty joked while still clutching the side of his face.
"Maybe, but it feels like he's holding back a bit." Blake sighed.
"That's odd, why would he hold back against Magenta?" Rusty asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask him yourself?" Blake replied with a harsh tone.
"All I'm saying, is that if he doesn't start trying, he's going to get his bottom end handed to him on a silver platter, and then some." Rusty smiled.
Mag was fast, extremely fast, even without her teleportation. She would appear in front of him for a frontal assault, only for Mag to appear behind, or beside Adam and slash at him before she ran again. Suddenly, Adam turned and fired a dust round in a random location, where Mag had just appeared. The round slammed into Mag's chest sending her off of her feet and into a tree.
"Oww, that really hurt." Mag said in pain from the hit. She looked up to see Adam walking up to her with his blade drawn. He looked down at her, and Mag trembled in fear for a brief moment.
"Finish the fight Adam." Cinder ordered from across the field. He gave a sigh and raised his sword into the air. Something was off though, his arm was shaking. Mag physically couldn't do anything, she knew she was at her teleportation limit as well due to her sudden dizziness. There was nowhere to run.
"I-" Adam started. He looked away from Mag's eyes and turned to face Cinder.
"I'm sorry, but I can't." Adam sighed causing a confusion with everyone.
"Do it, or you and the White Fang will be obliterated off of the face of this planet!" Cinder ordered allowing her eyes to glow with her maiden power again. Adam turned back to face Mag and sighed.
"How does she expect me to do this? It's been so long, and I haven't even gotten a chance to talk with you." Adam sighed.
"W-what are you talking about? We've didn't meet until." Mag looked beside Adam and glared at Steel causing him to look away.
"Your family lost a son a long time ago correct?" Adam said calmly.
"Yeah, my mom says he left just after I was born. What's it to you?" Mag asked with hostility.
"My parents divorced when I was younger, then, my mother decided that she was going to go see another man. A year passed when suddenly, they had a child together. I know that you probably don't care at this point, but." Adam took a deep breath.
"But what? How is any of what you're saying relevant?" Mag said raising her voice.
Adam took another deep breath and sheathed his sword. "You, you were that child Mag. I decided to start my own life, where my family would be left behind. But, as it would seem, the past has one helluva way to catch up to you."
A.N.: So, that just happened. Any comments?
Mag: W-wh-when, where, why? What is going on? I can't understand anymore. I need something to drink! *Sprints out of the room*
RedMoose: Oh no you don't *follows with an axe*.
Me: Well, she's pissed, or scared, or really confused, or all of the above. You know, I really can't tell most of the time.
Rusty: That's her brother? How could you do this to me you asshole.
Me: What did you expect, besides, this story is almost done believe it or not. I only have a few more things that I want to put out there and then… Yeah...
Rusty: WHAT THE FUCK! HOW COULD YOU JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT? FIRST YOU ALMOST DROP US OUT OF THE AUTHOR'S NOTES COMPLETELY, NEXT, MAG'S BROTHER AND ALL THAT BULLSHIT, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE ALMOST DONE WITH US ENTIRELY!
Me: I never said when it was going to end Rusty. I just said that the story will be ending "Soon" I never said how soon.
Rusty: Whatever, *whispers* can I at least get a kiss from her by the end of this?
Me: Who knows? Aside from me that is.
Mag: Are you talking about me or something?
Both: NO!
Mag: Really, then why is Rusty's face so red?
Rusty: Uh, no reason, I've got to go. BYE! *Dashes at full speed out of the room*
Mag: Okay mister writer, we've got some things to discuss.
Me: Alright, you all can go now, I think that this is going to be a closed off conversation. See you in the next one!
