Night falls over Vale. Frost, Blake, and Dusk watch over the docks on top of a storage building. On the docks are several shipping containers with the Schnee Company logo. Sun finally joins them, and asked, "Did I miss anything?"
Blake answered, "Not really. They've offloaded the crates. Now they're just sitting there."
Sun responded, "Cool." He holds an apple out to Blake, and said, "I stole you some food!"
Blake asked, "Do you always break the law without a second thought?"
Sun retorted with, "Hey, weren't you in a cult, or something?" The air got a lot heavier after he said that. Dusk sighed, and said, "Too soon."
Above them, the wind rushed past their faces, and a noise of a loud engine. The looked behind them, and an aircraft flew over their heads, and onto the docks, landing among the cargo. The bay door opens, and a person walks out. Blake responded, "Oh no..."
Sun asked, "Is that them?"
Frost looked closer, and saw the symbol of the White Fang on the back of his outfit. He nodded, and said, "Yes, it is them."
More members walked off of the aircraft. One of them ordered, "Alright, grab the tow cables."
Sun then asked, "You really didn't think they were behind it...did you?"
Blake answered, "No...I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right."
She looked away, but another voice rang out. A familiar voice said, "Hey! What's the hold up?!"
Frost and Blake looked back down, as Roman Torchwick stepped out of the aircraft.
Roman continued, "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, soooo, why don't you animals try and pick up the pace."
Blake glared, and said, "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially one like that." She stood up, and unsheathed her sword. She then said, "Come on Frost."
Frost growled, "Right behind you." He pulled his elbow blades out, and the two of them jumped down. Sun yelled, "Wait, what are you doing?!" But it was too late. Blake and Frost were content to find out what was going on. They ran across the docks, and they hid behind a shipping container. The two of them looked past it, and Roman was scowling one of the members. He said, "No you idiot! This isn't a leash!"
Blake came up behind Roman, and grabbed his hands, and placed her sword across Roman's neck. "What the?" He exclaimed. The White Fang readied their weapons, and Frost came out, with his revolvers, ready to shoot. Roman then said, "Heeey, Frosty. It's been awhile, hasn't it."
Frost growled, "Quiet!"
The White Fang members surrounded the two of them, and Roman. Blake looked around, and she took one of her hands, and pulled her bow off, revealing the cat ears. She then asked, "Brothers of the White Fang. Why are you aiding this scum?!"
Roman made a light chuckle. He then asked, "Didn't you get the memo?"
Blake said aggressively, "What do you mean?"
Roman answered, "Me and the White Fang are going on a joint business venture together."
Blake then ordered, "Tell me what it is, or I'll put an end to your little operation." She pulled the sword closer to his neck. As she did, the wind around her, Frost, and Roman blew violently. They all looked up, and more aircrafts came in. Roman then said, "I wouldn't call it a little operation."
While Blake was in awe at the amount of ships, Roman took his chance. He took the cane from his back, and he tilted it a little, pointing it to Blake's feet. Frost noticed, and said, "Blake, look out!" It was too late. Roman fired one shot, sending Blake flying back. The explosion made a massive plume of smoke. While walking through the city, Ruby, Verde, Jecht, and Penny saw the smoke plume. Ruby realized, "Oh no..."
Frost quickly ran back, and caught Blake. He set her back onto her feet quickly. Roman took his cane, and pointed it to the two of them. He fired a few shots in unison. Frost and Blake quickly rolled to the side, dodging the shots successfully. Roman continued the onslaught of unstable flares. Frost and Blake rolled backwards from the explosions, and they took cover behind some cargo crates. Roman smirked, and said, "Here kitty, kitty..."
As he finished, a banana peel fell onto his hat, tipping it forward. He growled, and threw the peel off. He looked up, only to see Sun and Dusk. Dusk grabbed Sun, and tossed him downwards to Roman. Sun landed on Roman's face, knocking him down. Dusk finished, by landing onto his gut while he was down. Sun flipped back, and Dusk jumped next to him. Sun then ordered, "Leave them alone." As Roman got up, the aircraft doors opened up, and White Fang grunts jumped out, surrounding them. Roman smirked, and said, "You are not the brightest banana in the bunch, are ya kids?"
As he finished, the grunts charged at them. Sun asked Dusk, "You ready?"
Dusk smirked, and said, "More than ready." Dusk turned, and placed her back against Sun's. The first guy entered. Sun gave him a swift back fist to the face, knocking him out quickly. One ran to Dusk, but met with fate by a swift boot in the jaw. Two more came up, but Sun did a sweeping kick to the one running to Dusk, and Dusk backflipped over Sun, landing on the other one. Sun then ordered Dusk, "Duck your head!" Sun reached up his shirt, and pulled out a collapsible staff. It quickly assembled, and he twirled it, and hit a grunt in the gut with the end.
Dusk stood back up, and pulled a polished round shield from her back. Two more grunts ran to them. Sun twirled his staff, blocking the sword of one, and he counter attacked, knocking him out. Dusk blocked the attack, and she gave a swift shield punch. Sun then said, "Jump!" Dusk jumped up, and Sun smashed the ground with his bo-staff, creating a small pulse in the ground, knocking out three of them. He stood back up. One more grunt came up, and thrusted forwards, but Sun dodged downwards, and sweeped the grunt's legs from under him. He pivoted on his hands, and smashed his feet into the scalp of his enemy. He pushed up on his hands, sending him up, and he landed on the enemy's back. He flipped back, kicking him upwards at Roman.
Roman ducked under the flying body, and he retaliated. He stood back up, and fired a flare. Dusk jumped in front of Sun, and held the shield firm. The flare landed on the shield, but did no damage. Blake jumped over Sun and Dusk, and yelled, "He's mine!" She bounded towards him, and slashed once. Roman blocked with the cane.
Blake landed, and the two of them started trading blows. Blake jumped up in the air again, and shot down towards him. He blocked, but she made a clone and went behind him. She struck again, but only to be blocked. She kept trying to get behind him, but he was too fast. Blake landed back in front of him, and he used his palm. He pushed forwards, but Blake flipped backwards, and kept on fighting. Blake swung down, but Roman parried the blow, pushing the sword away. He first hit her gut, then the side of her head, then her face, pushing her back.
Frost jumped in this time. He jumped into the air, and spun downwards. Roman blocked with the cane vertically above his head. He pushed Frost up. Frost flipped back, and landed. He rushed at Roman. Roman struck at his gut, but Frost blocked it with his left blade. He maneuvered his blade, and placed the tip of the cane under his arm. As he did, he kicked Roman's gut twice, before letting the cane go, and reeling his leg back, and kicking straight into his stomach. Roman was sent back, but he recovered quickly, and fired one shot at Frost. Frost dodged to the left, and Dusk and Sun entered the frey.
Sun kicked him back, and he disassembled his staff, into two shotgun nunchucks. He swung the ends at Roman, while firing them, speeding their momentum. Roman blocked all the shots, until the final shot. The last shot staggered him, and Dusk came over Sun's head, and bashed her shield into him, sending him back. Roman slid backwards until he stopped by some crates. He sat up, and looked over the group. A huge crate dangled over them. He stood up, and pointed his cane at the cables. He fired, and the explosion caused the cables to snap. Blake, Dusk, and Frost flipped backwards, but Sun went forwards, to Roman. Once he landed, Roman pointed his cane at Sun.
Hey!" A familiar voice yelled out. Ruby, Penny, Verde, and Jecht walk to the edge of a faraway roof. Ruby twirled her scythe, sticking the blade into the concrete roof. Roman mocked her, "Oh, hello, Red! Isn't it past your bed time?"
Penny asked Ruby, "Ruby...are these people your friends?"
Ruby ordered, "Penny, get back!"
Roman took the opportunity, and fired at her. Verde took action. He pushed Ruby out of the way, and turned his arms into metal. The explosion landed, but knocking him back, and completely drained his aura. He groaned in pain. Jecht and Ruby both ran to his side, helping him up. Meanwhile, Penny glared down the side of the building. She walked to the edge, but Ruby said, "Penny, wait! Stop!"
Penny looked back, and said, "Don't worry, Ruby...I'm combat ready!" The pack on her back opened up, and one sword came out. It unfolded, and it split into ten swords. She ran across the roof, and jumped off. Ruby asked, "Jecht, what is she doing?"
Jecht smirked, and replied, "She is not wrong. Just watch her."
Penny threw a few of her swords downwards, knocking the enemies under her out. She landed, and the swords twirled around her. She looked to her right, and a grunt rushed her. She turned, and threw her left arm back at the grunt. The swords flew into the grunt, pushing him back. She threw it forward, knocking another grunt into the wall. Three more rushed at her from the front. The swords created a circle in front of her, and spun, knocking two of them away. The swords then surrounded her, and she jumped up, and turned sideways, hitting the last one. A group of the grunts chased her, but she simply threw all her swords in one maelstrom, knocking them all down.
The original group looked up, to see gunships flying in. Frost said, "We better get out of the way!" The others agreed, and they hunkered down behind some crates. The three gun ships fired at Penny. Penny placed the spinning swords in front of her, shielding her from the bullets. Two more swords protruded from her pack, an they shot out. The swords stuck into the wall, and the wires connecting the swords tightened. Penny retracted the wires, pulling her back against the wall. She slid across the ground, till she stopped. She placed the swords in another circle, but this time, the points were facing outwards in a smaller, more condensed circle. The swords spun, and a ball of green energy started to form. The swords started to spin faster and faster, until Penny reeled her arms back. She then pushed them forwards, and a massive laser beam shot out. It split into two, cutting though two of the gunships like butter. The broken ships flew over Ruby, Jecht, and Verde, landing into the ocean.
Ruby and Verde looked in awe, while Jecht looked proud at Penny. They turned back to the docks. One of the aircrafts started to take off with one of the dust crates. Penny stood under it, with her swords floating. She threw her arms out, and the swords shot into the aircraft's thick metal plating. The wires tightened, and Penny started to walk backwards. Verde asked, "How is she doing that?"
Penny continued walking backwards. The ship tried to take off, but Penny's immense strength was too much. The engine started to strain, and Penny took the moment to pull back. The force pulled the aircraft down, crashing into some other dust crates. Roman took the time to leave. He grabbed his cane, and he boarded another aircraft. Roman looked at the girl, and said, "These kids just keep getting weirder..." he closed the bay door, and the aircraft took off. Penny turned to get the other one, but it was too late. Penny slowed to a halt, watching the aircraft fly off.
A few minutes later, police showed up. Penny, Ruby, Frost, Verde, Jecht, Blake, Sun, and Dusk all sat in a circle, waiting for their friends. Yang, Weiss, and Shade showed up. Yang and Shade were calm, while Weiss seemed somewhat agitated. Ruby stood up, and quickly said, "Weiss, it's not what you think. Blake and Frost explained everything, and she doesn't actually wear a bow, and she has kitty ears and their actually kinda cute."
Weiss ignored Ruby, and walked to Blake. Blake sighed, and said, "Weiss, I want you to know, I am no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was-"
Weiss interrupted her with, "Stop. Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you and Frost?"
No one answered. Weiss continued, "Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..."
A moment of silence fell over the group, wondering what she will say. She then exclaimed, "I don't care!"
Confused, Blake asked, "You don't?"
Weiss asked, "You said you're not one of them anymore, right?"
Blake answered, "No, I haven't been since I was younger-"
Weiss interrupted with, "I don't wanna hear it. All I want to know is that next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your teammates. And not some-" She paused, and she looked at Sun. She corrected herself, and said, "Someone else."
Shade stepped up, and said to Frost, "Everything she said applies to you too, Frost. Next time, come to us for help. You are a respected ally and friend of ours, so know your past won't hinder feelings in the future."
Blake and Frost stood up. Blake said, "Of course."
Frost also said, "I will."
The eight of them all smiled. Ruby then remarked, "Yeah! Team RWBY and SFFR are back together!" The eight of them gathered in a circle, and Dusk and Sun joined in. Weiss looked to the two of them, and said, "I still don't know how I'll feel about you two!"
Sun and Dusk nervously chuckled, but Frost said, "Eh, don't worry. They're chill."
Ruby looked around, and said, "Wait a minute...where's Penny?"
In a car, several yards away, Penny was in it, looking depressingly out the window. The driver said to Penny, "You should know better than to go running around in a strange city."
Penny lowly said, "I know sir..."
The driver drove off, and said, "Penny...your time will come."
Back with the group, Shade asked, "Well...now what?"
Jecht responded, "Guess it is time to return to our studies."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Ruby then asked, "What if something like this happens again?"
Frost smirked, and said, "We'll be ready. We may have more questions than answers at the moment, but let that not halt us."
Yang yawned, and remarked, "Time to head back to our dorms, for a well-earned rest."
Everyone nodded again, wanting some sleep. The group walked back to Beacon, ready for what fate has in store for them.
And thus, concludes Volume 1. I will start submitting Volume 2 tomorrow, (Hopefully). In Volume 2, I hope to add extra scenes, more characters, and even some shipping mixed in. But for now, have a pleasant day, (Or night, depending on where you live).
