Our story begins somewhere between the high mountains of Mistral, where the safest path through requires one to carefully navigate around cliffs and edges. Travelers and adventurers alike must watch their step, as one slip up is all it takes to go down towards certain death.

Two people were standing on one such cliff. Two people that once knew each other and were even close at one point, are facing off each other, their erratic shoulder movements and chest expanding stances whilst standing still indicating they were ready at any time for mortal combat.

These two people are Blake Belladonna, ex-White Fang member, daughter of the Menagerie chieftain, member of the Huntress team RWBY and a Lieutenant of Atlas military. The other one is Adam Taurus, a skilled swordsman, Blake's ex-lover and a former High Leader of the White Fang.

"It's over Adam! Salem is dead, the good guys won! You're coming with me!" exclaimed Blake. Adam, however, took offense as he began menacingly walking towards Blake:

"Never, Blake! I agreed to help defeat Salem, not to turn myself in to the Atlas Ace-Ops! The White Fang live on!" Adam responded, as Blake could only move backwards, both of them stopping right at the edge of a cliff.

"The White Fang died with Sienna, you're the last one Adam!"

Upon hearing that, Adam went into a fit of rage as he dashed towards Blake and screamed:

"NEVERRRRR!"

The swordsman tried tackling Blake to her death, but instead Blake simply sidestepped his lunge and let his own momentum shoot him from the cliff.

"USOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" shouted Adam as he fell to his death.

Blake looked from the edge, positively sure that Adam is gone. She pulled out her scroll and began talking to it.

"Come in, Major Xiao-Long. This is Lieutenant Blake Bellad- what the-?"

A hand grabbing her leg cut her dead in her tracks. It was Adam, who was hanging from the ledge. Blake, unfortunately, couldn't react fast enough and Adam managed to throw her behind him and make her plummet to her death.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" shouted Blake as she fell to her death.

Adam got up and noticed his former lover's scroll lying on the grass, with a voice from it calling for the now dead Blake.

"Blake, this is Major Xiao-Long, come in! Blake, this is Yang, are you there?! Bl-"

The scroll was smashed with a single stomp, silencing the device forever. Adam felt so content that he couldn't help himself but awkwardly laugh.

"Going somewhere, Adam?"

The formed White Fang leader couldn't react fast enough as he felt a robotic arm grabbing him by the neck and hoisting him up in the air. The voice and the robotic arm belonging to one Yang Xiao-Long, member of team RWBY and a Major of Atlas military, General Ironwood's right hand.

"Yang, I thought you were-" Adam muttered out, but was cut off by Yang who, still hoisting him up in the air, said:

"Thought I was what, dead? Like my partner you just tossed off the cliff?!"

She walked towards the cliff, the same place where Adam managed to toss Blake to her death - very symbolic, lemme tell ya that.

"I-I'm sorry Yang. Please, don't drop me. W-Wait, I promi-"

"Too late, Adam!"

"You can't drop me - you have to uphold the law, you have to arrest me! Wait, wait, this is brutality, you can't do this!"

Upon hearing that, a sly smirk formed on Yang's face as she simply responded:

"Wrong, Adam. This is not a brutality - this is a fatality!"

Yang then dropped him from the cliff, with Adam screaming as he was falling to his death:

"USOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

Adam woke up in the dorm room of the Atlas Academy and was aware that he, in fact, was not falling to his death. He turned to his left and saw Yang soundly sleeping beside him, her prosthetic arm cool to touch on his shoulder. By the look on her face that sported a faint smile, she was probably dreaming of something nice, unlike him.

He usually never had pondered with any dreams he had before, neither when he was with Blake in the White Fang nor before - but this one was so odd to him that he couldn't help but think about it.

While he did understand that Adam faked falling to his death to fool Blake, what he couldn't understand is how Blake didn't see him grabbing onto a ledge of the cliff when she actually looked down and saw him supposedly plummeting to his death?

Yang's appearance and her words made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Firstly, why would Yang think that he thought she was dead, when he CLEARLY heard her through Blake's scroll. And second, if Yang's words were to be believed and she actually saw Adam throwing Blake off the cliff, that would mean Yang contacted Blake via scroll when she was in view distance, meaning Yang trying to reach Blake on the scroll before Adam crushed it is completely nonsensical.

There's also an even worse implication that, if she WAS in view distance of seeing Blake getting tossed of the cliff, then that meant Yang might've let Blake die by his hand - which Adam finds even more idiotic.

And what was the deal with his...scream? Even his laugh when he crushed Blake's scroll was just...

'The whole dream felt like a poorly directed cutscene from a video game...'

Adam turned to his left and saw the console below the TV, remembering how Yang pulled him into playing a fighting game with her sister, Blake and the Schnee - he didn't really care about the latter two feeling a bit off by his very presence, but he did notice how Yang was satisfied that her sister got a bit more accepting of the idea of the ex-terrorist leader being part of their little team on a suicide mission.

Which was expected, since Rose was one of the people who voted him to stay as a member of their group when Yang dragged him to the Brunswick farm after he lost to her in a duel.

4:50 AM was on the alarm clock on the bed stool, just a bit more than an hour and a half before he and Yang would get ready for their morning spar.

The blonde brawler tried to pull him towards her with her prosthetic, which made Adam simply relax and sleep off the next hour. Maybe he'll mention this odd dream he had to his partner tomorrow, though it's probably gonna make her develop an inside joke between the two of them.

'Maybe fighting games aren't for me...' were Adam's last thoughts before he drifted back to sleep.

You thought it was a copy+paste of a Mortal Kombat 4 ending, but it was actually a Raging Bull fanfic all along! HA HA!

Eh, I guess this would've been more impactful if the tags weren't such a dead giveaway, but eh, whatever.
