"Yang Xiao Long." The white themed teammate screeched. "You're coming back to Beacon with us if it's the last thing we do." Weiss glared at her friend.
"Are you going to force me. We both know you can't take me, ice queen." Yang stepped forward, loading her gun, her eyes becoming more sinister.
"But you can't take us all by yourself," Ruby said, but the confidence wasn't there. Yang's eyes fell on Neo, both girls nodding at one another, given each other a knowing smirk.
"Do you want to test that theory out, sis?. Because I've been dying to have a serious fight with you for a while now." Before Ruby could say anything, the sound of a gunshot rang through the room. Ruby didn't have time to react when a fist came crashing into her face. The young girl was sent flying through the air, landing hard on her back.
"Ruby!" Weiss shouted in disbelief, dropping her guard during the chaos. Yang took the opportunity while Weiss was distracted. Raising her fist to her face, she went to attack again. Weiss only had time to bring up her arms, trying to protect her head from the blow. Closing her eyes, she tensed, preparing herself for the strike. The heiress's eyes shot open when the sound of metal colliding with flesh caught her ears. Standing in front of her was Blake, she had blocked Yang's punch with gambol's shroud.
"Weiss, focus." Blake scolded the white-haired girl. "Ruby will be fine." Blake managed to push the blonde back to where the multi-colored haired girl stood.
"Uh...Right", Weiss shook her head, forgetting her initial shock.
"Just forget it, Blake. You know, she was always the weakest link on the team." Yang's eyes landed on Weiss, who's eyes hardened. The heiress raised her hand with one swift movement, several Glyphs spread around Yang's and Neo's feet. Both girls had to move out of the way, as several thick ice spikes shot out of the ground. Blake turned to the white-haired girl.
"I said focus, not try to impale her." The Faunus scolded her.
"Yeah, well, she has been asking for it." Blake rolled her eyes at the heiress's comment. "Watch out." Weiss's voice brought her back to the scene that was in front of them. Both girls avoided Yang as another barrage of punches came their way.
"Yang, come on, we know your still in there. I know you don't want to do this." Blake's voice was almost pleading with her friend. Blocking every strike, the girl landed. As one of Yang's punches fell on Blake's cleaver, Blake didn't pull back, only added more pressure, her arms shaking at the effort of keeping Yang at bay.
"You're already too late, Kitten. There's no going back for this one." Yang's red eyes burned into her, but she could have sworn that she had seen something behind those crimson eyes, was it regret or sadness.
"Oh, get over yourself, Yang Xiao Long." Yang's head turned in time to see Weiss bring down Myrtenaster in a slashing motion. Yang let out a grunt of pain. Stepping back, away from Blake. Yang brought her arms up, trying to guard against Weiss's attack. Weiss was able to drive the blonde away from the cat Faunus. This gave Blake time to catch a breath. The raven-haired girl's muscles burned with the effort of going up against Yang's strength. Though this was not the first time she had fought Yang, it was the first time Yang had used more than half her power against the Funuas, and Blake had the feeling that Yang was still holding back.
The sound of metal scraping against the ground behind Blake caught her attention. Blake turned on her heels, meeting the mute girl standing 6 feet away from her. Blake frowned, her hand clenched her weapon. Neo gave her a lopsided smile, her eyes traveling up and down the Faunus before looking behind her. Blake turned to see what had caught Neo's attention, but all she saw was Yang and Weiss fighting against each other. Blake turned to face the girl again, who only raised her hands, making a few hand signs. Blake watched her sign carefully. The raven-haired girl had learned primary sign language back in the white fang. It came in useful for when they were on a mission that required them to stay quiet.
"She's mine." The multi-colored haired girl's smile grew, while Blake growled at the girl. Blake couldn't stand the girl's smug attitude. Even the idea of her being near Yang brought up a feeling of disgust. "And I know she enjoys what I do." Neo winked at the girl, and without thinking, Blake shot towards Neo. Anger clouding her judgment, as she swung Gamble Shroud, trying to catch Neo off guard. However, none of the hits landed, each getting deflected, or Neo moved around it.
RUBY
Ruby slowly pushed herself off the floor, clutching at her now spinning head, looking around the room, she could have sworn she saw double. Blinking her eyes a few times, she was able to clear her vision. "Damnit, Yang, that hurt." She mumbled to herself.
Finally, coming to her senses, she could see Blake was facing off with that icecream girl. At the same time, Weiss fought Yang. Just by looking at the pair battling, it was apparent this was a wrong move for the monochrome team members.
"How are you enjoying the show?" a man asked her, his voice full of delight. Ruby turned her head, clutching Cresent Rose.
"You did this? What did you do to my sister?" Ruby yelled at the man, his smile only grew wider.
"Who said I did anything?" He asked innocently. "She's the one with the tainted semblance. Makes me wonder, Red, does it run in the family or is it just Goldilocks over there?" He pointed in the direction of the freezer burn pair. Ruby quickly spared a glance over to the two girls. Ruby had to admit Weiss had really improved with her footwork, moving out of the way of some of Yang's more heavy hits.
"Yang never had any problems controlling herself before she got into a fight with you and your lap dog." Ruby shot back, getting ready to attack the man.
"Come on, be realistic. When your semblance is tainted, it only takes a matter of time before that voice in your head eventually wears you down. Let's just say, I helped speed up that process." Torchwick chuckled at the girl. "But what amazes me is how long she was able to hide it from her dear sis..." Torchwick let out a heavy breath. Ruby had rammed her foot into the redheaded man's stomach. Following it up with a strike to the face with Crescent Roses's handle, the man stumbled backward.
Yang and Weiss
"I'm surprised I thought I would have been done with this fight already." Yang taunted. As Weiss whirled behind her, the white-haired girl stepping backward to give herself some breathing space. "Looks like someone has been teaching you about movement. I've been wondering where you and Ruby have been sneaking off too."
"Yeah, well, maybe you aren't as great as you think, are you?" Yang growled, preparing to launch herself at Weiss again. However, Weiss was one step ahead of her. The heiress raised her hand, causing Glyphs to surround Yang. Before the blonde could react, several sharp icicles came firing at the blonde from all directions, cutting her skin in the process.
Before the next barrage could attack Yang, she fired a shell into the ground, springing the blonde up into the air and away from Weiss's assault. Yang clenched her fist while in the air, pulling her arm back. She fired once again, falling rapidly, her fist collided with the floor, causing tremors to shake underneath her.
The blast nocked Weiss off her feet, landing hard on the ground, making her drop her weapon right next to her. Weiss pushed herself up into a sitting position, staring up at her friend, who was towering over her. Weiss reached out to grab her weapon but was stopped by Yang's boot stamping on her hand that held the handle, crushing it in place on the concrete. The heiress let out a wince, trying to pull her hand away from under Yang's boot.
"What are you going to do now, princess?. Can't fight without that little toothpick of yours." Weiss gave a defiant stare, the heiress was trying not to react to the extra pressure the blonde put on her hand. "Should have learned more than just footwork techniques." Yang raised her fist, looking Weiss straight in the eye. "Going to miss you, princess."
Blake
Blake and Neo paused for a moment as the ground shook underneath them, causing them to lose their balance. However, both girls managed to stay on their feet.
Blake turned her head in the direction she last saw Weiss and Yang fight. Her heart stopped, watching Yang raise her arm at an unarmed girl. "Weiss." Blake breathed out. "Yang, don't do it." She started towards the girls. However, it was stopped when Neo rammed her elbow into Blake's face, causing the Faunus to stumble back. "Get the HELL out of my way." Blake roared, desperation in her voice. Neo merely cocked her head and smiled, shaking her head in response. All Blake could do was watch on at the scene in front of her.
