I do not own RWBY
Beginning of the end
Indigo POV"And the winner is Yang Xiao Long!" The announcer says making me just look at her and think only one thing. 'I teached him how to get girls...how come I haven't a sexy blonde girlfriend yet!" I mentally yell only for my thoughts to be cut short when the same blonde incapacitates her opponent. "Well...I didn't see that one coming."
"I am actually surprised by this turn of events my self." Brian comments his eyes glued to the screen. "Shame she didn't go for the head, I would've exploded like a grapefruit probably." He continues making me just look at him and shake my head. It's bad enough I have to work with this nut job and it's only made worse by the fact he is now completely covered in blood. Let's just say we don't have to worry about eye witnesses.
"Drake ain't going to be happy about this." Man I am happy I don't am the one that has to calm him down. Like dear Oum he is probably on the war path right now. "Now I see what he sees in her, if she wasn't taken I would go after her myself." Brian continues his little monologue making me mentally sigh.
"When is that father of theirs coming home again." I ask my 'partner' really getting tired of his shit. "Should arrive any minute now." He replies, looking back at the TV I see that the broadcast has been cut. "Sometimes isn't right...their wasn't any blood. His leg should have been blown off."
"So what you saying, they planned this?"
"No she was really shocked about what she just did, facial expressions , one of the first things I learned in the army." I say making Brian look at me and then back at the screen. "Wasn't part of that White fang plan to cause mass panic and negative emotions so the Grimm would attack?" He asks casually making me look at him in shock.
"Fuck you're right...those animals plans has begun! You stay here and have your fun I am going to Beacon!" I yell at him before grabbing my rifle and sprinting out the door and towards the nearest car. "Ah fuck me! They said it was going to be when the finals are played!"
Later with the poet
Standing on top of one of the biggest buildings in downtown Vale the poet looks down at the city. There isn't much life on the streets right now it's almost evening and the other round of the tournament is about to start. The invincible girl against one of Atlas most secret weapons. He couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the thought, after all it was he who came up with the idea all those years ago.
'They said I was crazy, paranoid even! But tonight they will see that as long as these animals are allowed to do what they want there will be conflict.' He thinks, looking above him he sees one of the atlisian cruise ships pass over him. From the moment he could walk he knew he was going to serve his kingdom. He even made it all the way to the generals right hand man, but nobody saw the problem.
All those good men lost fighting those animals in the Faunus wars and later in the war against terrorism and they still got what they wanted. Those men died for nothing, the council is weak. The military is weak, that's why he left. And finally he found another place to put his skills to use. And they at least saw the problem, ever since he met Edward Swart he has followed his every order. And now after all those years his former colleagues will finnaly see that he was right.
Tonight will be the night he takes his revenge, that he proves them all wrong. But most importantly the man he once called his closest friend, James Ironwood. From all people he thought that would understand him it would be him, but all he did was laugh at him and tell him that he better go and do something productive instead of being paranoid.
"Who is the stupid one now."
Later on top of beacon
Looking down at his hands Drake can't decide what he really wants. Sure being at Beacon and becoming a huntsman is the dream for a lot of people but every time he fights a White fang member. The satisfaction he feels when he sees the life drain from their eyes. It scares him to think about it but he enjoys killing. As much as he wants to deny it, he still feels like a trapper.
But here at Beacon they gave him a second chance, friends who at this point are more family to him. Yang, he didn't think that it was possible to care for someone that much. She is probably the main reason he stays...and of course the fact that outside beacon a lot of people want him dead.
But he can't go back to being a mindless killer, he would throw away everything he has worked for in the past mouths. And on top of that you have all those people who believe that he actually changed and is going to stay on the right path.
However the feeling, the bloodlust is bigger then ever. Every single night he hears that same voice in his head repeat the same thing over and over again. It's telling him to leave, to kill! That they will never fully respect him. And the dream always ends in the same way, every night he sees his mother getting shot. It's driving him insane, half of the time he wants to listen to the voice and the other half he wouldn't want anything more than it to just shut up.
He needs to calm down, this isn't the main problem right now. He is almost ninety percent sertend that they set Yang up. She doesn't want to show it in front of him but she is scared, that's the reason why he is on the roof in the first place. She told him if he wanted to give her a couple of minutes to her own to collect her thoughts.
Looking forward he can see the sun setting when out of fucking nowhere the alarm of a Grimm invasion starts going off! Looking at the sky he can see an army of nevermourse and griffins coming in the direction of Vale. This can only mean one thing, Indigo was right and the White fang really is attacking Vale with Grimm. And on cue an airship lands loaded with Grimm and another one with White fang members.
Turning around he runs to the emergency exit to leave the roof and get to the dorm. Not only is Yang there, but that assault rifle is still hidden there. Running like the wind he runs past a couple of students who have no idea what's going on and are confused by the alarm. Finnaly arriving at his dorm door he doesn't bother knocking and just kicks in the door.
"DRAKE!!! What the fuck is going on?!" Yang yells from on top of her bed. "T-the White fang are attacking!!! Get your fucking weapons they are releasing Grimm!!!" He yells back at her, walking over to his 'bed' he throws the mattress to the side and picks up the gun and the extra ammo.
"How? What...the White fang, how did you get that gun?" Yang doesn't know what to ask first but judging from the alarms going of outside and that she just witnessed the murder of penny and that lady her speech it will have to wait for later. Jumping from her bed she picks up ember celica and her scroll. "You ready?" He asks her, the only answer he receives is a cocky grin and. "What do you think yourself."
Leaving their dorm they both decide that they have to go to the front of the school and see how bad it is. However Drake chooses to go to miss Goodwitch office first, he likes to fight with his own weapons after all. "You go and call the rest I will be with you outside in like five minutes."
"What! Splitting up now is like a really bad idea." Yang answers almost immediately, by now most students know what is going on and are scrambling for their weapons. "Sunshine, Yang I am only going to get my weapons. You just go with out me and call Ruby, I will catch up eventually." He replies, stopping in the middle of the hall that leads outside. Both turn and look each other in the eyes.
Closing the distance they pull each other into a kiss, eventually they both need to pull back to breathe. "Be safe ok." Yang mutters while looking at her boyfriend. "Come on Yang you should know me by now." He answers playfully before giving her one more quick kiss on the lips. "The same goes for you by the way." He continues before turning around and running the opposite direction towards Goodwitch her office.
Running down the hallway he can hear the sound of screaming and shooting. He probably looks like a pussy right now, everyone is running towards the fight and he is going in the opposite direction. Shaking that thought out of his head he turns the last corner only to come face to face with a couple of White fang soldiers and worse of all, that guy that's supposed to be dead.
Standing in front of him is...what's his name again? The Lord or something of the White fang. The same one that he cut his arms off and left him to bleed to death. He actually hasn't changed much from the last time they met, only now he has two prosthetic arms. Both of them look each other in the eyes one with hate the other with confusion and shock.
"If it isn't my least favourite human!" The Faunus spat at him while ordering his man to stand down. Taking his rifle he aims it at Drake. "I am going to enjoy watching you die." He continues, firing of a grenade followed by a stream of bullets. Having just enough time to recover from the shock Drake does a couple of backflips avoiding the grenade blast. When he finnaly reaches the end of the hallway he ducks under the incoming bullets. Not wanting to lose any time and meet up with Yang as soon as possible he activates his semblance.
"Hahaha I am not going to fall for the same trick twice." He says, seemingly unaffected by Drake his semblance. Knowing that he has to deal with him quick he pulls up his own gun and starts firing in the direction of the White fang members. However his opponent blocks hit he incoming bullets with his arms. The guys behind him however weren't as lucky. Chuckling again he pulls of the black gloves he is wearing, revealing two prosthetic hands that both change into a sword.
Charging his opponent, the only thing Drake can do is bring up the rifle to block the incoming swords. Only for them to cleanly cut true the weapon. Looking at both pieces in his hand the only thing he can do is throw them at his opponent. Who simply avoids both incoming objects. Out of ideas the only thing left to do is get into a boxing stands similar to that of Yang.
Waiting for his enemy to make the first move Drake waits until he is about to be cut in half to jump over the blade and use the momentum to deliver a super man punch to the mans face. Stumbling a bit backwards he is met with dozens of punches all directed at pressure points. Shame that he didn't know that half of his body is made of iron.
Flinching when his bare fist makes contact with a solid surface under the clothes of his opponent, he drops his guard for a second. Having no time to avoid the incoming blade. The hit does a number on his aura and a large cut just above his left eye is made. Standing back up he tries to look at his opponent but is partially blinded by the blood from the cut getting in his eye.
Trying to get it out of his eye he is met by another slash right to his chest. An undeep cut stretches from his right shoulder to his stomach. The White fang member now goes in for the finishing blow. Only for Drake to side step it and deliver a kick right to his face , breaking his nose. "Try fighting without being able to properly breath asshole."
Blinded by rage he goes in for another stab only to once again hit thin air. This time however he is kicked in the knee followed up by an uppercut. Screaming in rage that the human is still hurting him even without a weapon he charges again and once again hits nothing. However he is expecting it and brings up his other arm to hit his opponent who is coming in to hit him in the face.
Landing on his back Drake can feel the boot of the Faunus pinning him down. Looking up he can see him grinning and brining up his right arm to deliver the finishing blow. Closing his eyes he can only think one thing. 'I am sorry Yang' however the blow never comes. Instead he hears three loud gun shots. Opening his eyes he sees the Faunus coughing up some blood before falling over dead.
Behind him stands no one else than Indigo in full trapper gear holding his pistol in his left hand while his katana is I the right. "Come on we have work to do." He says before tossing him his weapons and turning around heading outside. Standing up and holstering his pistol he flairs his aura to try and speed up the healing process. At the same time he catches up with his 'partner'.
"What the fuck are you doing here?! Forget that where are you going?!" Drake asks Indigo who instead of going outside turns right and starts walking up the stairs. "Simple really, I came to help you. Now go outside I will cover you from the roof."
Nodding at him, he turns around and runs outside only to see his worst nightmare. He still remembers the day his parents died and the explosion and shooting but this is much worse. Atlas soldiers lying dead killed by their own weapons.
Students desperately trying to fight of the endless stream of Grimm and White fang soldiers. He can smell burned flesh and hears the screams from people that are slowly dying.
He is snapped back to reality when a White fang grunt charges him only for his head to be blown of by Indigo. Shaking his head he gets out his gun and katana and starts running to the closest enemy. Most Grimm aren't really that dangerous, mostly creeps. They had to transport them in a bullhead after all, so they don't put up much resistance.
The White fang soldiers are pretty much the same, shooting them from a distance and when they get to close make quick work of them with the katana. The ones trying to sneak up on him are killed by Indigo who is covering him with his sniper rifle. But all that time Drake has only one question, where is Yang?
Blake POV
"P-please no." I whimper to Adam, he slowly is approaching us. His katana in his hands ready to kill both of us. Looking at Yang who is laying on the ground not moving. Her aura trying to heal her arm, or what is left of it. Trying to stand up I fall back on one knee, the pain in my side unbearable.
Looking back at my partner, after this I can't face her ever again. This is my fault, I did this to her. But deep inside of me I feel fear a lot of fear. Not for how she will react or for Adam no, for Drake. If he sees her like this he will rightfully blame me and then... I never liked him but the last few weeks I felt like we where both learning to respect each other more.
Of course I never completely trusted him and he probably never fully trusted me but we where getting closer. But I witnessed what trappers can do and if he gets his hands on me, dead would be the last of my worries. "It looks like your time is up my darling."
Looking up I am looking at my killer, closing my eyes I wait for death. "YANG!!!!" We both look at the source of the sound I see Drake in the same place Yang stood moments ago. The only difference between them is he looks calm while Yang was angry. But you can clearly see the anger in his eyes. "Oh I was waiting for you..."
"Shut up you animal! You will wish for death when I am done with you."
The end
