F3: Hello fellow readers and welcome to part 2. We left off with Star claiming the victory in her singles match while Pyrrha had obtained half of the Fall Maidens power and now trying to control it as we move on to the second singles match. RWBY is the property of Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. MountainKing312 owns Senka Linwood while Decode9 owns Akane Shidou and Diana Mirai while yours truly owns Team SPIR, Melanie Tora and Opheila Sorrel. With that said let's get started.
Volume 3-26: Singled Out (Part 2)
Star exited the arena and was met by her teammates to celebrate as Iona scooped up her partner into a bone crushing hug.
"Way to go Star! That's my partner!" Iona cheered.
"That's great... to hear... now please... oxygen would be nice." Star breathed as Iona let her go as the fox faunus caught her breath.
"But seriously nicely done Star. We knew you could handle it. That means we move on to the finals." Pepper added in.
"Hey we got this. Plus Ruby's team is still in it so never know if we might get a chance to face them in the tournament." Rina said with a smile almost wanting to have another go at Team RWBY.
"That is if Yang can make it through her match." Star said which kinda surprised some of them.
"Wait. Yang is fighting for her team. Not sure how much of a wise decision that is. Sure she's a great fighter and all but she doesn't do well against opponents who deal in long ranged attacks even with her weapons." Pepper added.
"Hey I'm sure Yang will be fine. Don't forget she's very persistent plus I think she starting to pick up some battle strategies that Weiss has been showing her. She'll manage." Rina said.
The intercom suddenly buzzed overhead.
"Yang Xiao Long and Mercury Black to the staging area." The intercom replied as it shut off.
"Well looks like she's going up against your boyfriend Pep." Iona teased which got the wolf faunus to blush deeply.
"H-He's not my boyfriend!" Pepper countered.
"Yet anyway." Rina said only continue to tease her partner.
"W-Well sure... I mean he's nice, considerate and..." Pepper said as she droned on not even hearing the footsteps coming behind them.
"Charming. Was that you were going to say?" Mercury's voice came behind them in which Pepper nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Hey their. Just about to head to my match. Want to wish me luck?" He replied.
"I... um... well..." Pepper started but she was having trouble making words. Star only chuckled before giving him a playful punch on the shoulder.
"Don't get too cocky their Merc. Yang is a tough opponent so you shouldn't underestimate her." Star playfully warned.
"I know that. Gives me a chance to let loose a little bit. She might be your friend but doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on her." Mercury added.
"I think she'd be insulted if you did." Iona replied as Star nodded.
"Whelp gotta go." Mercury said before giving Pepper a small head pat.
"Later Wolfie." He said as Peppers blush only intensified as he then walked off to his match.
The three girls looked to a now highly blushing wolf faunus her tail swaying every so often.
"Wolfie. Honestly that's rather cute." Rina said only adding to her teasing. Peppers tail suddenly went stiff as she looked toward her partner.
"Sh-Shut up! That was only one time he called me that and it just stuck okay." Pepper said quickly.
"Oh. So you like being called Wolfie huh?" Iona said with teasing look as Pepper growled at her.
"Okay girls c'mon leave Pepper alone. Why don't we go up and watch the match. I'm sure Ruby and the others would like some company." Star added as they all agreed and headed up to the stands to find Ruby and her team and possibly Jaune and his team as well.
=RWBY=
Meanwhile Mercury had left the girls as he began heading toward the staging area for his match with Yang. He'd only seen Yang fight a few time during combat training and knows that she is a tough as nails brawler. More importantly that he noted to be careful of her semblance. He knows that she can draw in energy everytime that she is hit and adds it to her own making her even stronger.
But he also noticed that to be her greatest weakness as well since her aura also takes damage meaning the more power she absorbs the weaker her defenses will be which is something he can capitalize on if he does it right.
However as he was thinking up a strategy he felt a presence nearby and looked toward the shadows.
"Can I help you with something Fox?" He asked his eyes narrowed on the blind adversary.
"Good eye. You're going to need that if you want to survive." Fox said as he came out of the shadows.
"What do you want?" Mercury asked getting straight to the point.
"Actually it's something I want you to do. More like what she wants you to do." Fox replied.
"Like hell I'll do anything for you guys. You don't control us. I think we made that clear to your teammates." Mercury said as he began to walk away.
"Not even if it means to keep a certain someone safe." Fox added which made him stop in his tracks as he looked back at him with a face full of rage.
"What are you talking about?" Mercury asked angrily as Fox whipped out his scroll and tossed it to him. As he caught he got a look at what he was talking about.
It was Neo without her jacket only revealing her corset and her arms. She has bruises all over her arms along with her hair all in disarray. Her right eye has been swollen from multiple punches along with a broken nose as he noticed blood that came from it more than likely it was broken.
He also seemed to noticed on the left side of the picture her weapon had been snapped in half more than likely when she tried to fight her offender off. He noticed something around her neck that seemed to be some kind of collar more than likely something that disabled her aura from activating.
He noticed that Neo was holding a sign in front of her that stated 'Do as he says.' in black bold letters.
Mercury wanted to be disgusted at this. He wanted to get angry and kick the guys ass but then he also feared that if he did that Neo would suffer the consequences of this action. Mercury simply handed the scroll back to Fox but he wasn't very happy about it.
"What do you want me to do?" Mercury asked as calmly as he can.
"Good. Now I want you to get your opponent disqualified." Fox ordered.
"And just how do you expect me to do that?" He asked rather baffled by the order.
"I want you to lose then attack her which in turn will make her retaliate. After that just leave the rest to us. You wouldn't want anything else to happen to Neo. Would you?" Fox said as if waiting for him to retaliate.
Mercury gritted his teeth and clenched his fist but then scoffed before turning around before saying.
"Fine. Just don't hurt her any more... please." He said almost begging.
"Just as long you keep up your end of the deal then she won't be harmed." Fox said as Mercury walked off.
"Also your friend Emerald has been told this as well... just to let you know." Fox added as if rubbing salt in the wound as Mercury walked off fuming.
Fox chuckled as the plan was now being put into motion. Something to stir the pot of distrust amongst the students and he was going to love every second of it.
=RWBY=
Meanwhile in the stands as the groups watched onward as the tournament continued on as Star joined them since her match was over.
"Looks like Yang and Mercury are up next. Oh I can tell this is going to be good." Star said.
"I would agree. I never got to see Yang in a one on one fight. Though I'm sure Merc won't give pull any punches." Emerald added as they watched. However Blake seemed to noticed something was odd like as if someone was missing.
"Hey where's Neo? Wasn't she with you all." The cat faunus questioned.
"She forgot her weapon so she headed back to the dorm to get it." Star said.
"And how long was that ago?" Blake asked.
"Honestly it has been quite a bit." Star said as she actually started to grow worried about her girlfriend.
That was when Weiss scroll buzzed as if someone was trying to get a hold of her. She whipped it out and noticed that it was Velvet trying to call her. Weiss answered it and held it to her ear.
"Hello Vel-" Weiss barely got her name out before having to move her scroll away from her ear as if Velvet just shouted in her ear.
"Whoa whoa. Calm down a moment I can't hear you over the crowd. Let me get somewhere so I can hear you." Weiss replied as she got up a moment.
"I've got to take this call. I'll be back in a minute." Weiss said as she walked away.
"Don't take too long okay." Ruby called out seeing her teammate walk off.
"And now ladies and gentlemen it is time for the next match. It's Yang Xiao Long of Beacon Academy will be taking on Mercury Blake of Haven Academy!" Port announced as the crowd cheered as the two entered the arena.
Yang came out from the left side of the arena while Mercury from the right though he doesn't look very confident more like he was rather nervous.
The roulette spun for them but it only landed on a blank campus which meant it was going to be a neutral battlefield.
"Looks like it'll be a straight up fight with these two with no specific field. Wonder how this'll turn out." Oobleck replied as Yang got in a fighting stance with her fist close to her body and her left foot back with her weapon in active mode.
For Mercury he put his left foot back but kept his fist away from his body as to be more loose during the fight. The bell rang signaling the start of the match as Yang and Mercury simply circled each other as if to pinpoint an opening to attack. Mercury was the first to react as he jumped several feet into the air before coming down on Yang with a dropping axe kick.
Yang backflipped the oncoming attack but when Mercury landed with the axe kick it did manage to kick up some debris. Readying herself Mercury then charged at her at surprising speed.
Mercury swung his right leg at her but she managed to block it and shove it away as she retaliated with a right hook of her own firing a shot from her weapon.
The two fought into a series of punches and kicks each of them matching other blow for blow but none of them giving an inch from each other. Knowing that this wasn't getting anywhere Yang decided to try a different tactic from her old plan. Ducking another kick from Mercury she actually grabbed hold of his leg and tossed him away from her to try and get some distance between them.
Mercury managed to correct himself after being tossed away as he landed safely but even taken a bit of damage from Yang. What he didn't expect was Yang punching at the air firing off multiple shots that were heading directly toward him. Mercury had to dodge and weave through the attacks as her shot hit the ground that were strong enough to break the ground.
Yang continued her assault before she noticed that she was starting to run short on ammo so she stopped her assault but the moment she did that was when Mercury made his move. He suddenly shot forward and began his counter attack. He actually managed to get a hit on Yangs side which seemed to be her weakest point to attack. He then quickly combo into an elbow jab into her gut which staggered her.
Once she was staggered he then grabbed her by the waist hoisted her up and then slammed her down with all his might which actually caused her to bounce off the ground the sudden impact. He then proceeded to roundhouse kick her directly in the stomach sending her flying while knocking out a good chunk of her aura in the processes.
Yang rolled out of the way from the sudden impact actually feeling the impact to her stomach.
"Okay that hurt. His legs made out of iron or something?" Yang thought as she got up from where she was landed. She looked at her Ember Celicas and noticed that she was running out of ammo. To quickly solve this she flicked her wrists which in turn released the empty ammon cases from her weapon. She then reached into the pouches on each side of her hips and brought out strings of red ammo cases and flung them into the air.
She then punched the air so her weapon to grab hold of one of them as if wrapped around her weapon loading it with new ammunition. She repeated the process with her left arm as now both her weapons were now loaded.
"Let's try this again." Yang said simply now more than focus on the battle as the two stared at each other but Mercury glanced back to the stands more importantly where Fox and Coco were watching intently almost waiting for him to mess up which made him even more nervous in which he knew he can't mess up as the fight continued on.
=RWBY=
As the fight was going on Weiss was still on her scroll taking with Velvet which seemed very urgent. Since she was away from the stands Weiss switched to her scrolls speaker mode as she moved it away from her ear.
"Okay now what is going on? You sounded like that you were worried." Weiss said.
"Yes I was. I went back to get my camera from the room when I noticed one of the other teams door was opened. So I decided to check it out and..." Velvet paused a moment as if trying to find the words to speak.
"And what?" Weiss questioned.
"I found that Neo girl and she's hurt pretty bad." Velvet added which surprised Weiss at this.
"How bad is she?" She questioned again.
"Her right eye is swollen along with a broken nose. Also she has multiple bruises along her arms and I'm not sure but I think she has a few broken ribs as well. Luckily I don't think none of them hit her lungs. Apparently she's been in a fight since her weapon was snapped in two." Velvet answered.
"Odd. Shouldn't her aura be healing some of those injuries. Her ribs would take a little bit longer to heal but everything else would've been healed in about twenty minutes or so." Weiss replied.
"I thought that too but... there's something around her neck that looks like a collar." Velvet replied.
For a moment Weiss froze the moment she said what the object was around Neos neck.
"Velvet check on the back of the collar for any initials. Their should be some. Don't ask me how I know just do it." Weiss replied.
"Okay." Velvet said as Weiss waited for an answer.
Not a second later Velvet answered her again.
"Yes I did see some initials. They were-" Velvet started but Weiss beat her to the punch.
"SDC right?" Weiss said.
"Yes... how'd you know?" Velvet questioned.
Weiss sighed "Listen Velvet. Don't go moving her just yet okay first we need to get that collar off her. That collar completely locks the wearier out of using their aura which means someone must've forced it on her. I'll be their as quick as I can." Weiss replied.
"Alright I'll be waiting. I'll see about patching up some of the wounds." Velvet said as she hung up.
Weiss then took her scroll and sent a quick text to Blake and Ruby letting her know that she'll be late or more than likely to miss the match and that something came up. With a new task Weiss quickly sprinted toward the nearest airship and ordered the pilot to take to back to Beacon as quickly as possible.
=RWBY=
Mercury was sent backwards after colliding with one of Yangs fist and he could tell that he was about halfway burnt through his aura while Yang wasn't that far behind either but he still got up and kept pressuring his offensive strategy as went for a flying kick which was easily dodged by Yang.
"Okay time to a play out of Peppers book." Yang thought as she put her new plan in motion.
Mercury not wanting to be denied charged at Yang again with a furry of punches and kicks but Yang managed to keep her distance and strike any weak point that opened up leading to slowly but surely chipping away at her opponents aura.
Pepper seemed to notice at what Yang was doing "Hey she's copying one of my styles. Since when can she do that." She said.
"Looks like she's been doing a little private training and picked up on some of your moves Pep." Rina added.
"Yeah... um what style is that again?" Ruby asked.
"It's Out Boxer. Staying out of distance from the opponents reach and taking advantages of missed swings or in this cases kicks." Pepper added as she watch Yang punch at Mercury's side when he tried to kick her again. Seeing that this strategy wasn't going anywhere he decided to use his fist in the next attack as he put his full weight into the next punch.
Yang though responded in kind as she threw a punch at Mercury but their fist collided with each other as their aura mixed sending a shockwave throughout the battlefield. The two punched left and right but only for the punches to collide into each other again and again slowly chipping away at each others aura. The only question was who's aura could last the longest against the other. Mercury also noticed that Yangs short hair was starting to glow ever vividly which meant she was charging her semblance with each blow.
"C'mon Yang you got this!" Ruby cheered.
"Don't you dare lose Mercury!" Cinder cheered as well trying to motivate them.
Looking closely Cinder could see that Mercury was rather tense as if something was on his mind "Did one of them get to him?" She thought looking across the arena to where Coco and her team were. Fox walked over and sat down whispering something to Coco to which Cinder see's the small smirk.
Yang went in for another attack but this time Mercury saw it coming and dodged the attack using his semblance to enhance his speed he delivered a hard yet swift round-house kick to the side of Yangs skull sending her flying a few feet away from him.
Yang landed hard as her aura was trying to remain intact but luckily it hadn't broke yet but she was starting to get rather winded from the fight as she tried to catch her breath as she check her aura on her scroll.
"Twenty percent left. I bet he doesn't have much either. Time for a make or break plan here." Yang thought as she brought herself up to a knee.
Mercury began approaching Yang "Time for the final nail in the coffin." He replied as he went in for the final blow.
Or so he thought as Yang fist clenched before slamming her left fist into the ground stubbornly.
"I ain't done!" She cried out the moment her fist hit the ground the field around her exploded causing Mercury to back away a moment rather shocked.
Yang got up and her eyes had now turned crimson as she was ready to keep going.
"If she's using her semblance now that means she doesn't have much aura left. TIme to-" He thought but then remembered what he was suppose to do. Get Yang disqualified. He knew what he had to. He readied himself and prepared for the worse.
Yang shot forward at Mercury full ready to finish the fight. The moment Yang got close Mercury tried to counter attack but Yang grab hold of his wrist and punched him in his gut to knock the wind out of him before throwing him upward. Using her weapons she shot up like she was a meteor and got above him. Then with all her might she locked her fists together into a hammer fist and slammed it hard to Mercury's gut sending him shooting to the ground hard enough to kick up debris and dust.
Yang landed safely as she got on one knee feeling a little winded from using her semblance as the fire in her hair has died down and her eyes returned to normal as she waited for the dust to settle.
Once the dust cleared Mercury was flat on his back and his aura was shattered.
"And the winner of this match is Yang Xiao Long!" Port announced as the crowd cheered. Everyone except Coco who only just shook her head in disappointment.
"An impressive victory for her team as Team RWBY advances to the next round." Oobleck announced.
Mercury got up to a kneeling position tired from the fight as he looked at Yang.
"Hey great match. Maybe we can have rematch after this is done." Yang said as she began to walk away.
"Sorry Yang. I have to do this." Mercury said as he position himself to charge forward.
Meanwhile in another corner of the arena Emerald was ready for her part of the plan to get Team RWBY disqualified as she readied her semblance. "I'm sorry Yang. I really am." Emerald thought.
Mercury then all of a suddenly charged forward as he cried out with a flying kick trying to blind side her. Yang heard him coming at her and did the only thing she could do was defend herself and when Mercury got close she delivered a swift punch to his right knee but without his aura he took the full blunt of the attack as he held his leg in pain.
"What the heck are you doing man?!" Yang shouted at him but he simply ignored her.
That was when he put his plan into action "Why!? Why you do that!?" Mercury shouted in pain which completely confused Yang a moment as the crowd started to murmur about what just happened.
Yang then looked toward the screen and was shocked about what she saw. It showed Mercury on knees and Yang was walking by him. The video showed that he was getting up from his position and then Yang punched him in the knee causing him to fall.
"What?" Yang mutter but before she could make a move five Atlas soldiers rushed out onto the battlefield and immediately surrounded the blonde their rifles pointed directly at her.
"Yang Xiao Long put your hands up and surrender immediately and you won't be harmed." One of them said.
"Whoa hold on! I can explain!" Yang shouted trying to reason with the soldiers as she took a step toward one of them. However she only got a shot in front of her foot for her efforts as a warning shot.
"Put your hands up!" The soldier ordered which only got the crowd talking more about what was going on.
Seeing this as a losing situation Yang promptly put her hands up in a surrender position.
"Keep them their and move it." Another soldier told her as she did what she was told as another soldier went to help Mercury up walk him off the arena. However he looked back toward Yang with a regretful look.
"Um... we'll take a brief intermission before the next match." Port announced as the crowd began to murmur.
However Star and everyone else genuinely shocked at what just happened and Blake was trying to hold her back from helping her sister.
"Ruby stop!" Blake shouted trying to hold the young teen back.
"That's my sister down their! She didn't do anything wrong!" Ruby shouted struggling against Blakes hold.
"I know but doing this won't help anything. You need to calm down and think this through." Blake said calmly. Eventually Ruby stopped struggling as Blake let her go.
"Contact Weiss and we'll meet back at the dorms." Ruby ordered as Blake pulled her scroll out to call Weiss.
=RWBY=
The soldier carried Mercury out far enough until Mercury told him that he was fine and that he could walk which surprised the soldier but he didn't bother answering him as the soldier went back to squad. Mercury sighed as he was now left alone or so he thought as Emerald quickly joined him.
"I... guess it's done right. Will they be disqualified?" Emerald asked.
"I don't know but we'll have to-" He didn't get to finish as he saw Star along with Cinder quickly approach them with Star and Pepper not exactly to pleased.
"What the literal hell Mercury?! The match was over and you had to attack her from behind! What is wrong with you!?" Star shouted not exactly happy her tail thrashing and ears flat.
"I never thought you'd stoop this low. Talk about a sore loser." Pepper growled not exactly happy either. Those words hurt him like a knife through butter.
"Listen... I can explain." Mercury replied trying to salvage the situation.
"It better be one heck of an-" Star started but noticed that he was still standing as she looked at the leg that Yang hit.
"Wait how are you still walking? Yang hit you in the knee?" Star questioned but Pepper knew that answer to that as she narrowed her eyes toward him.
Mercury sighed as he took both pant legs and pulled them up gently above the ankles show his metal prosthetics.
"Prosthetics? How'd that happen?" Iona asked.
"I got ambushed by grimm and lost my legs. A... mutual person helped me get them replaced." Mercury replied.
"So that back their in the arena... you were faking it!" Star shouted her tail thrashing around.
"Believe me I didn't want to do what I did but I had no choice." Mercury said turning his head away.
"What do you mean by that?" Rina asked.
Mercury wanted to tell them straight out but he was nervous but Emerald placed a hand on his shoulder encouraging him to continue.
"What I'm going to say stays between us okay." He said which the team nodded but Cinder knew what he was going to say.
"Me, Emerald, and Cinder... we're really not Haven Academy students." Mercury started.
Pepper, Iona, and Star were shocked while Rina and Cinder remained neutral at this.
"We had documents forged for us to come to Beacon Academy for us to hopefully stay safe." Mercury started.
"Safe? Safe from what?" Iona asked.
That was when Cinder spoke "Not from what. Who." Cinder added as she joined the boys side.
"Okay... then safe from who?" Pepper asked.
Cinder gripped her lower arm as if terrified to speak any further but she knew that they had to know who they were truly up against.
Cinder took a breath before she spoke "Star... remember when the fire broke out at the orphanage and we were separated?" Cinder began.
"Yeah... I remember." Star said somberly remembering hearing Amber's screams as she let's out a shiver.
"Well... me, Merc, and Emerald were taken by the person that arranged to have the orphanage burned and that was when we met... Salem." Cinder replied.
"Salem?" Rina questioned.
"Who is she?" Iona added.
"Salem... is pure evil incarnate and she even commands grimm with an iron grip. Just one look at her and you will freeze just from her presences alone." Cinder replied as she once felt that same feeling from her before.
"She... had us believe that you were dead. Not to mention the things she made us do... the blood that we have on our hands." Cinder replied.
"And now she wants to target Beacon." She added.
"Huh? Why would this Salem want to target Beacon? It's just a plain old academy." Pepper said.
Mercury shook his head "No. It isn't. This academy carries a secret all it's own."
Before he could say what Star's scroll rang and showed that it was Weiss that was calling.
"Hey Weiss. Something up?" She asked but not even a second later her eyes were wide as saucers.
"SHE'S WHAT?!" Star shouted before glancing toward Cinder and her team.
"Hold on I'll be right their." She added as she hung up.
"Weiss and Velvet found Neo pretty banged up and with some kind of collar on her." Star said before putting it all together at why Mercury did what he did.
"That was it wasn't." She said as Mercury nodded.
"Yeah. I didn't have much of choice. She's part of the team and...some of Salem's followers said they'd do worse if we didn't cooperate." Mercury said as Rina's hands clenched into fists.
"Well c'mon we better get going. More than likely they'll start the next match after the intermission. Though I want to see how Ruby and her team is doing." Rina said.
"Good we'll explain more on the way." Cinder said as the seven of them now headed toward one of the airships to take them back to Beacon.
=RWBY=
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't punch in the face right now." Raven scowled and she had good reason for it since her daughter was currently handcuffed.
"If you will calm down then I can explain." Ironwood replied.
It wasn't only them their but the rest of Team RWBY as well was currently present as well with Weiss managing to meet back up with them after taking Neo to the infirmary but even then she'd looked at him with a glare her tail twitched with annoyance.
"It had better be a damn good reason." Weiss added.
"As part of the security team here we had to make sure their wouldn't be any threat that would cause to the tournaments competitors. What happened at the arena is an example of that." Ironwood replied.
"Yes but she acted in self defense when he tried to blind side her." Raven added.
"Apparently not from what the public saw it. They saw your daughter attack him when his aura was already depleted causing the injury." Ironwood replied calmly not wanting to raise his voice.
"That's bullshit and you know it!" She cursed as she was beyond ticked off almost wanting to draw Omen from its sheath.
"Which is why I'm not arresting her but having her confined to her dorm." Ironwood replied which seemed to confuse everyone even Yang as the soldier removed the handcuffs as she rubbed her wrists.
"So hold on your letting me go but what about the tournament. Technically I've won the match didn't I. Our team moves on right." Yang said but Ironwood's face had another story.
"If I allowed a member of a participating team go and compete after what had happened it would consider favoritism on my part which is something I can't have at this moment in time." Ironwood replied.
"Then what would be the right course of action?" Blake questioned.
Ironwood closed his eyes a moment "After all my time in the military I've met some powerful teams." Ironwood started as he then opened his eyes and looked at the four members.
"But their was one other team that could compare to you four in the category of teamwork and diversity. Even with that said you four had a clear chance to win this tournament but I'm afraid as a general in the military and in charge of the security in this tournament I cannot even a minor slip up to pass." He said with a stern look on his face.
"As of effective immediately. Team RWBY is disqualified from the tournament due to breaking the rules of conduct." Ironwood replied as all for members of the team went wide eyed.
"WHAT?!" They all shouted. Their chance of conquering the tournament was over just in a blink of an eye. Yang more importantly felt the worst of the four since it was her fault that they got disqualified from the tournament even after all the training they all did just to be taken away from them.
"I'm sorry but that is my final decision. I'll inform the officials about the matter." Ironwood said and with that he turned around and walked away along with his soldier leaving a stunned team not even knowing what to do about the situation.
Outside their dorm window watching them through a pair of binoculars Yatsu observed them from one of the towers.
"Coco. It worked. Team RWBY is out of the tournament." Yatsu said.
"Good. I have a feeling that Yang will want some time to herself after all of this. Just make sure when Ruby is alone... kill her." Coco ordered.
"And the Fall Maiden?" He asked.
"Oh just leave... them to me." Coco replied with a haughty laugh as their plan will soon bloom into a flower of death and destruction and Ozpin will be powerless to stop it. One way or another she will have the power of the fall maiden even if she must do it herself.
F3: And that is the end of Part 2. Well Team RWBY is officially out of the tournament and Coco begins her biggest plan yet. Will this end in a victory for Coco or will something unexpected happen? Make sure to follow this story for future updates and please let me know what you think about this story by adding a comment. With that said this has been Fireuser3 and I'm out.
