Okie! This is the climax that everyone has been waiting for! This isn't the last chapter though so don't worry.
"WHAT!" they all yelled at once.
"How did this happen?!" Yuri yelled.
"She went looking for her by herself... How could I not know that she was gone! ? I am the worse boyfriend to ever exist!" Red cried looking upset.
"It's ok. We just have to get ready and go out tonight. Blake how many warehouses does Akairo have anyways?" Wyeth asked digging through his drawer.
"She has at least seven of them. Two of the have basements but I don't know which ones. What makes you think Graylyn took them there?" Blake asked opening his green tea.
"I've heard there was a lot of White Fang activity lately."
"Well she used a White Fang member to try and blow up Jazmin's nightclub."
"Makes sense," Yuri said.
"Ok are you guys sure you want to help me do this?" Red asked.
"Of course! She's like my sister now!" Yuri said grinning.
Blake and Wyeth laughed.
"Let's head down and get our weapons ready. We have to avoid Onyx at all costs and get out of here. Is anyone else helping us?" Blake said throwing away the empty container.
"Jazmin and Garnet."
"Alright! Let's do this!"

It was a lot harder sneaking out of Beacon than they all thought. They had avoided at least ten different hunters before they made it out of the way of prying eyes. Jazmin was waiting for them in a small Bullhead with Garnet riding passenger. Team RWBY piled in and the Bullhead rose into the air and took off. They were nervous but they were all doing it for their new found friend.
Jazmin landed on top of her nightclub and everyone got out waiting. Crimson came up the side of the building with a bow and arrows on his back dressed in a dark red shirt and black pants. Jazmin was dressed in a tight black leather outfit and she had her bazooka strapped on her back. Garnet was wearing his normal red and black clothes and his claws.
"Are we all ready?" the crime lord asked and the Beacon students nodded.
"What's the plan Blake?" Jazmin asked and Blake pulled out a hand drawn map.
"I drew this earlier. There are seven warehouses and two have basements. I think maybe Scarlet and Akairo might be hidden in either one or one in each one. The two most powerful fighters we have are Yuri and Crimson honestly. Yuri take the one by the side of docks and Crimson take the one by where Scarlet was kidnapped. Wyeth take the smaller one that's closest to the Dust Shop but I honestly don't think anyone is there.
"If you run into any White Fang members do not kill them. Tell them what you're doing and they may extremely helpful. The thing is that their leader might be a little out there but they'll be willing to help as much as they can. Garnet take the one that's by the abandoned docks on the south side. Red take the one that is by the old factory. I'll take the one that Akairo was kidnapped out of. Just remember I don't know what kind of thing Akairo has done to any of them or if she has occupied them in a while."
"Why are we asking for help from Beacon brats?" Crimson asked.
Team RWBY glared at him and Jazmin punched him in the arm.
"In case you haven't noticed we have been looking for days and we haven't been able to find Akairo or Scarlet."
"I agree with Jazmin; besides you're just pissed because you wanna fuck her and she won't you the time of day when she has Mr. Stud Muffin over here who pounds and licks that pussy right," Garnet said smiling.
Red hide his face as his face heated up with embarrassment.
"I like Scarlet too but I am more mature than that. Her safety is number one and that's all you should care about if you truly liked her," he said turning serious to Crimson.
"Whatever."
"Who the fuck here doesn't like my girlfriend?!" Red yelled.
Jazmin started laughing, "Is I was gay I would hit that."
Red groaned and everyone laughed.
"Within an hour I want everyone to message me and let me know their locations. We have to be careful. I'll let everyone know if someone else finds something. This is a team effort so don't do anything stupid."
Everyone nodded and took off. Red was nervous about this only because he didn't trust Crimson at all with how he's been lately. He just had to have faith that the others wouldn't screw him over; he trusted his team, Garnet and Jazmin with his very life but no Crimson. He would probably let him die if he could.

Wyeth was first to arrive to his destination and like Blake thought there was nothing there. No one patrolling the place or anything inside; it was pretty much empty but he searched the ground and walls for any switches or traps though his search turned up nothing. He sighed looking around; he missed Juno and begged Rain to keep an eye on her while he left to help because she would try and tag along. He messaged Blake with his findings waiting on where to go to next.
X
Crimson arrived to his warehouse next and it was crawling in White Fang but they looked extremely miserable without their psycho leader. He couldn't tell if Graylyn was in there but he didn't hear her voice. The last time he saw her she was rather loud and psychotic making Akairo look like a kitten. The stress of trying to take down so many people must be getting to the poor girl.
He made his way down there and all the Faunus stopped in their tracks staring at him. No one even blinked as he walked into the warehouse to see it was almost empty except for a few crates of Dust and a table. Crimson turned to see all the nervous Faunus staring at him waiting for his attack but the ex member said not to attack anyone so he wouldn't. They were going to need help to take her down and any of the goons that had decided to side with her instead.
"Where's Scarlet and Akairo?" He asked so everyone could hear him but everyone looked even sadder.
"She isn't here,"someone said.
"We've been looking for hours but she isn't even in her basement."
"So this is her main warehouse?" Crimson asked and a lot of them nodded.
"We have been hiding from Graylyn. We heard the rumor that Akairo was already dead."
Crimson looked pissed. She might try to spread rumors like that. She's getting scared now. She knows we have been looking.
"There's seven of us looking for them. Do you want to band together and find your leader?"
A lot of them nodded.
"Let me make a text message and we'll wait for our signal then. If you want no part leave now."
X
Yuri looked all over as a lot of the Faunus just watched him with fear. He wanted to find his soon to be sister-in-law. He didn't want to see his brother upset and hurt on top of what he had already endured. The blonde brawler found the basement but he was looking at them unsure what they would do if he went down there- what if Akairo was there and decided to chop him up? The thought sent shivers down his spine.
"So um...is Akairo or Scarlet here?" Yuri asked hoping they said no.
No one said anything but they shook their heads.
"Do you guys want her back?"
A few nodded and some shrugged.
"I mean if you don't wanna be in the White Fang anymore just leave. I don't think Akairo will blame you. Someday she plans on marrying my brother."
A lot of murmuring filled the air.
"If you wanna go, then go but if you want your leader back then we can wait here and wait for orders. We are under orders of Blake Belladonna."
A lot of them perked up hearing his name.
"It's up to you. This is a group effort to take back control. Leave now or stay."
A lot of them left which didn't surprise him. They have been through a lot lately.
"I gotta message my partner and we will wait for directions."

Jazmin stretched as she entered her warehouse and it was empty as can be, it was wiped out clean. She groaned, How fucking boring. Damn I bet the others had something fun to do. Jazmin pulled out a lightning Dust crystal and smiled.
"If there's anyone in here... I'd run if I was you. I'm gonna blow the place up!" she yelled but nothing moved.
She threw the Dust crystal onto the ground and pulled out her gun aiming to fire when someone yelled.
"Don't! We are just left here just in case someone came by!"
A few White Fang members came out.
"Why are you in here?" she asked pulling out her bazooka.
"We are to wait for someone who was looking for our boss or for Scarlet."
"Uh huh. Well you have two choices- join me or die."
The four of them looked at each other unsure what to think of Jazmin's proposal.
Jazmin put her gun away and pulled out her scroll.
Jazmin: I think my warehouse is a set up.
Blake: Get out of there then. Leave any White Fang and haul ass towards Yuri's warehouse. He's all set.
Jazmin: ok leader
Jazmin walked out and replacing her bazooka.
"Bye motherfuckers!" she pulled out her gun and shot the crystal.
She slammed the door shut and she heard screaming. Jazmin waited for it too stop and reopened the door. They were all knocked but still breathing. They didn't need any problems with them if everything went to shit. She took off to Yuri's warehouse not too thrilled that she had to be with him but oh well.
X
Garnet sat on some barrels holding up a gun at a couple of Faunus while a pile of them laid in the middle of the warehouse. They weren't willing to cooperate and he did his best not to kill them. From Blake's messages some were more willing than others. Graylyn had a good idea who was on her side but they were all weak against someone as skilled as him. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a cigarette then lit it.
"You assholes better not tell on me to Jazmin. She'll kick my ass if she knew I still did this once in a while."
X
Blake had no problem with his. All them were willing to help out even though almost of them wanted out after everything that had happened lately. Blake was just waiting on Red but he had the feeling that his warehouse is what had his girlfriend and Blake's ex girlfriend in it. There wasn't many places you could hide people without being heard.
Blake to everyone: If we don't hear from Red in an twenty minutes we go to his warehouse with our reinforcements.
X
Akairo looked annoyed as Scarlet had passed out again. The Faunus didn't have the heart to tell Scarlet they may never make it out of there alive. Akairo was getting sick but she didn't want to bother the criminal mastermind with her problems even though she shouldn't care one but what the orange haired vixen thought. They were enemies until death.
Damn it. I'm stuck in here... half dead... I'm probably going to start my period soon and this is how it's going to end. The guy I'm in love with is fucking this big titted smartass and she's sleeping on me AGAIN let I'm her fucking pillow. Someone better save us soon because her snoring is so damn loud. I would've preferred a room alone but I probably would die from sleep deprivation.
Akairo sighed and looked at the ceiling even though she couldn't see it in the dark. She wished more than anything she could go back... Her eyes stung with tears even if she was severely dehydrated. Akairo wished she could have gotten the help she needed- even maybe she could've asked Blake for help or ended her father's life that night he killed her mother. Why didn't she? Why was she so weak at that point?
In all my life I never hated myself for the things I did until I tortured him. He changed me... Why couldn't I have been strong enough to stay the same like him? Why couldn't I fix myself when I had the chance? Why did I do ever do the things I did?
Why did I ever fall in love with you Red?

Red looked through the holes in the roof to see the place crawling with White Fang but there was no sign of Graylyn. Red reached into his back pocket and pulled out the Dust gun Jazmin gave him; she told him he could use it was a distraction if need be and well, this was the time. He sped off ten feet away from the warehouse and started firing shots.
Red sped back onto the roof as the White Fang flooded out looking to see what the commotion was about. He hopped through the tight space and landed quietly behind a couple crates. He looked around on the ground to see if there was some trap door and there was. It was covered up by a Dust. The box was heavy but it was no problem for Red.
Red: I got this. If you haven't heard from me in forty minutes come. I think I found it.
Blake: Ok. I trust you. No killing.
He did his best to pull the box back over and headed downstairs in the dark. Red almost tripped and he placed his hand on the wall or he thought was the wall. It was a White Fang member. They stared at each other not moving a muscle. Red didn't know what to do- the Faunus could be with Akairo or Graylyn.
"Are you here for Akairo?" he whispered.
Red gave a slight nod.
"Ok. Just keep your head down and I'll take you. I remember you from the night of the dance but the others are with Graylyn."
The Faunus shoved Red forward and he kept his head down like he was told. It seemed like forever when they reached a dimly lit room with six metal doors. The Faunus led Red to the third door from the right and opened it. The Faunus shoved him in and flicked on the light and it took a couple seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light.
Red's jaw dropped when he saw there was no one in the room. There was blood and two chairs with rope on the floor. There was a bucket and toilet paper in the corner with a weird smell coming from it even though it was empty. What the absolute fuck?!
Red stood in the room and listened. He was sure he heard snoring but he wasn't sure. He pressed his ear against the room on the right wall but there was no sound. He then went to the other side and heard it even through the thick wall. He heard something bump into the wall and groan.
"This bitch and her loud ass snoring. How does Red put up with it? Fuck."
"Akairo?" he said out loud but she probably couldn't hear him.
He stood back and took a deep breath as he pulled out Crescent Rose. Red knelt down at the opposite wall and raised his weapon. This is it! Here goes nothing! Just as he swung his weapon he heard yelling and banging as his weapon hit the wall tearing a hole in it. He closed up his scythe and threw it through the hole. The light in that was room was flicked on knowing that the Faunus turned it on.
Red looked over in the corner to see Akairo sitting there with a slack jawed expression. Scarlet was snoring away not ever hearing a thing. The state they were both in was horrible but even then Akairo looked worse than anything he had thought. Her beautiful red color looked dull and her hair looked thinned out. He almost wanted to cry looking at her.
"What the fuck?" she whispered.
"I came to save you both. Let's get out of here!"
The door slammed open and a dead Faunus body was thrown through. There was Graylyn standing there covered in blood.
"I knew you were going to be here but I never thought that so many of them would help you out. How fucking pathetic."
"This is the end of the line Graylyn. You hurt my girlfriend and my friends. You will pay!" Red yelled looking angry.
"What are you gonna do? Slap me around and make me beg for mercy so I don't go to jail? You don't have the balls to hurt me enough to stop me."
Red felt the color leave his face.
Graylyn raised her leg and kicked Red in the stomach hitting the wall. Graylyn pulled out Akairo's red sword and held it out for the female Faunus to see it. Akairo wanted so badly to kill the cocky gray haired bitch but she was too weak to move. Scarlet had just barely woke up and realized what was going on. She saw Red laying on the ground bleeding.
"RED!" she cried trying to stand up but her body was too weak and she stumbled and fell behind of Akairo.
"I have been waiting for this moment forever... The moment I figured out how to kill everyone to get what I wanted... It'll be the last thing you ever think of and see- me winning."
"You think killing one queen and one pawn will get you anywhere?" Akairo asked brushing her dirty hair out of her face.
"Excuse me? What queen looks like that?" Graylyn sneered looking down on them.
"The kind that waits for her prince to save her even if the prince loves the pawn," she said with a serious look on her face.
The little girl started laughing and raised the sword.
Akairo closed her eyes. Well... at least she did what she wanted and she fell in love with a guy who made her realize she was better than she was. She just wished she had changed a long time ago and had gotten with Red or maybe fixed things with Blake. She was going to die alone but it would be ok.
"I think Akairo should be first to go!" she screamed with a psychotic grin on her face.
Graylyn thrust the sword at Akairo's chest but it never hit her. Red had jumped in front of blow and the sword went through his side spraying blood onto the floor. He gripped the red blade glaring at Graylyn ignoring the pain. She was so shocked she couldn't move- she never thought he would jump in front of her. Scarlet screamed startling Graylyn. Akairo wiped the blood off her face but shock had filled her eyes.
Red snapped the blade with his hands and the girl stumbled back slipping on his blood. She fell onto the ground hitting her head hard on the concrete. Red pulled the blade piece out of his side as Graylyn struggled to get back up. She took the broken sword and went after Red again even though things were spinning a bit.
To everyone's shock Red took the broken piece in his hands and shoved it into Graylyn's chest through her rib cage into her heart. Blood covered his hands more and started pooling onto the ground. Unfortunately, she had stabbed him through the shoulder but it didn't matter. Graylyn stumbled backwards and the piece of metal came out blood spraying out everywhere. She fell face forward, dead.
No one moved, there was only breathing heard in the room. Scarlet and Akairo just stared at Red's back unable to process what had happened. Red had killed someone. He actually killed someone. Red turned his head to the side to stare at his girlfriend and crazy friend who could only stare at him. He started crying shocking them both.
"Are you guys ok?" he cried out tears running down his face.
They both nodded with tears in their eyes and tackled him. They sat on the floor hugging Red tightly. In that moment it didn't matter if Scarlet hated Akairo or not, they were both relieved he was ok. They both were really, really surprised but it didn't matter. Red was glad that they were ok. He didn't care what it took to keep them safe as long as they were ok.
The rest of team RWBY, Crimson, Garnet and Jazmin stopped in the door way covered in dirt themselves to see Graylyn dead and their friends crying in a hug. They all stood there in shock seeing that Red was wounded and he was the one who took her out when they thought he couldn't do it if he had too. Yuri walked over to Red and dropped to his knees staring at his little brother. His violet eyes filled with tears.
"Are you ok?" he whispered and Red nodded.
"I'm fine as long as they are ok."

-Six Hours Later-
Red woke up to Scarlet holding his left hand and Akairo was holding the right one while she slept in a chair by his bed. He looked over at Scarlet who was smiling at him even though she was pale as a ghost and an IV attached to her arm. Akairo also had an IV in her arm too but she looked in worse shape than Scarlet was in. Red smiled and looked back at his girlfriend who was smiling sadly at him.
"Are you ok?" she whispered and he nodded.
"I never wanted you to have to do something like that."
Red grinned and laid his head back into a pillow.
"What the hell is there to be so happy about?" Scarlet spat looking annoyed.
"I don't care because I protected people I cared about. My body just moved on it's own. I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let either one of you to die."
Scarlet smiled and leaned to the side to look at Akairo.
"I think she likes you more than you thought. She told me she wasn't after us anymore. She even told me she was in love with you. I kinda like her now."
Red snorted, "Is it because she's asleep?"
"It's because she has good taste in men," she said grinning evilly.
Red blushed and grabbed some of her hair.
"Excuse you," she said glaring at him.
Red pulled her in close enough and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
Thank you everyone for the reviews on Chapter 28 The Criminal and The Psycho. To jakesucks12345 I know what you're talking about. My friend Kitty was thinking the same in a more dirty way lol I am not done with this story by the way. There will be another chapter but I did have a question for everyone and it's actually up to you guys. Since it has been suggested Akairo and Red should be together would anyone like if I did an alternative story part where Scarlet and Red didn't work out then Red went to Jazmin's club and met Akairo? Let me know through PM or review if you like the idea . If not many people are up for it I won't bother. The next chapter: When Things Work Out
