Sorry that this took so long, for some reason I had a very hard time with this chapter.
I do not own RWBY
Kali Belladonna was a patient woman, she also liked to think that she had an open mind... the pace that she and her husband had found themselves along with quite a few other people was severely testing that second trait. The thought that they were viewing the future was very hard to believe, even with the fact that these visions are a form of proof in and of themselves, however even with her difficulty in believing what was occurring she was willing to hold her thoughts until she had something concrete to comment on. Her husband seemed to share this stance if the rigidness in his body was any indication, after all one does not become the leader of a large organization by rushing in without any thought. She was snapped out of her thoughts by the newest vision beginning in front of her.
The opening quote is shown: "Your hopes have become my burden. I will find my own liberation."
A few of the more studious people there frowned at this quote, it sounded like whoever this next person is has had a lot of strain placed on them in their life, a young life if the previous two visions were anything to go off of.
A girl dressed mostly in black sits on a rock outcropping watching red leaves drift down in the Forest.
A man in a black suit with red highlights walks up to her, "Blake, it's time."
The girl, Blake, slowly turns toward him and replies with, "Okay."
At the sight of the girl everyone turned to look at the Belladonnas, both of whom were looking at the girl, who seemed to be more proof of this being the future, in shock. Both of them were shocked due to the fact that she looked a lot like Kali, they were confused as to why she had no visible traits for a moment until they realised that the bow probably covered her ears. Ghira was also worried as to why she was hiding her heritage, had the White Fang made no progress to equality in the intervening years between the time they were pulled from and the future they were seeing?
The camera drifts down to show a train rushing through the forest.
The man and Blake slide down the hill onto the top of the train. Upon boarding it, they enter a car full of AK-130 Androids.
Ozpin was the first person to comment on this vision, although it was not what most expected, "Well, James will be happy that Atlas has made advances in their technologies in the years between now and this vision."
Glynda snorted at this and made her own comment, "Lieutenant Ironwood is far too deep in his belief that technology and military strength are the best choice for keeping peace or winning battles, when there are some huntsman who can do more against the Grimm than an entire squadron of androids."
The hunters in the room all looked like they agreed with her but said nothing as it was clear that she wanted to get back to the vision being shown, they did to as they were curious as to why they were seemingly breaking into a train.
"Looks like we're gonna be doing this the hard way." the man says.
The Androids then activate and begin to circle the duo.
Blake replies to the man by saying, "Don't be so dramatic."
One of the machines activates the guns on its arms, while stating "Intruder, identify yourself."
"Oh yes, because two people who just illegally broke into the train car are going to identify themselves, congratulations!" was the very sarcastic comment Qrow made which was quickly followed by his sister shooting him a dirty look and seemingly restraining herself from hitting him, although that did not stop her tongue.
"Can you take this seriously for a moment Qrow, if this is the future this is important, not something to joke about." The looks on her other teammates faces showed that they agreed with her, although Qrow simply waved it off, while responding to his sisters comment.
"I see no reason to not joke around, this is the future, we can change this after we leave, and nothing as of yet has warranted a fully serious attitude, so until that time I will continue to make jokes." he said his piece and then turned back to the vision, prompting everyone else to as well.
The man responds by cutting the Android in two and then he and Blake proceed to completely decimate the Androids that are in the car. Eventually, they burst out of the freight car and onto a flatcar, encountering a horde of Androids running towards them.
"Let's do this." was what the man said.
They cut their way through the horde and enter into a second freight car using one of the machines to break into said car.
The hunters wee watching the way they fight and were impressed, the girl was very agile and she had incorporated her semblance into her fighting style better than quite a few professional huntsmen. Although team STRQ was somewhat worried about the man in black because of how he fought, he was skilled and they easily recognised the fighting style as Ravens, they shook it off though by saying to themselves that she can't be the only Iaido user on remnant. The civilians were more curious as to why they were fighting through the train, and the Belladonnas were very worried as to why their apparent daughter would be doing this.
The man opens a box to examine the contents inside, he looks at the contents with a lack of expression and states, "Perfect. Move up to the next car." He then closes the trunk while continuing his statement, "I'll set the charges."
"What about the crew members?" Blake asks.
Blake looks away from the man, seemingly fighting herself a small amount as he says dismissively, "What about them?"
Everyone reacts at this comment although the Belladonnas are looking in horror wondering what happened to the attempts at equality if faunus are doing this, and Summer gives the vision a glare filled with loathing before flinching back as if stung and rubbing her eyes like they hurt.
"What the hell! Does he not care about the people on the train!?" was Qrows reaction to this statement.
Ozpin looked outwardly calm but you could see his knuckles turning white as he clenched his fist while responding, "Apparently not Mister Branwen."
One look at Ozpin barely holding his temper, had most people turning away and back to the vision hoping for something better than what they just heard.
The man turns his head around and sees a Spider Droid climbing down from the ceiling of the car. He moves forward to fight it.
Blake calls out to him worriedly "Adam!"
The man, Adam, and Blake try to fight the machine, but they are clearly overpowered. Adam grabs Blake before she is about to be crushed by the droid's legs.
"Well, at the very least he keeps his partner from harm, although I am also glad that the machine showed up when it did because that stopped him from setting those charges." this was Summers comment on what they saw, although she did not voice the fact that she was afraid of what would happen to them, as she had noticed the Schnee crest on the crates in the background even though no one else seemed to.
"Yes I suppose that is one redeeming factor, one factor." This was Glyndas scathing comment in response causing Summer to wince back and look away.
"We need to get out of here." Blake told her partner.
Eventually the droid uses a large beam of energy that blasts Adam and Blake through the wall moving the fight onto another flatcar.
Adam calls out to Blake, "Buy me some time!"
She looks at him worriedly before asking, "Are you sure?"
"Do it!"
"Why would he tell her to do that?!" Tai cried out incredulously.
"I don't know but we just have to hope that a plan exists or they are both dead." was Ozpins dead serious statement in return.
Blake distracts the droid by flipping around the droid and striking the machine repeatedly, while Adam readies his next attack. As she jumps back to Adam some time later, he calls out to her, "Move!"
The droid fires a powerful beam. Adam catches the beam with his sword. After the beam stops the red on his body starts to glow. Just as the droid jumps toward him, Adam quickly unsheathes then slashes out with his sword, somehow disintegrating the droid and even affecting the trees in the Red Forest causing their leaves to fly into the air.
The room was silent after they saw that. He had used his opponents power to increase his own, that was a very strong, and rare semblance. Qrow was the first to recover his ability to speak, "Please tell me I'm not the only one very scared right now." he said this with a pleading tone, his team all nodded though as they were equally terrified as their teammate.
Ozpin looked at the man seemingly trying to analyze him and his strength, Professor Goodwitch, and Ghira were as well even though Ghira was quite pale at having seen that. Their studying was interrupted as the vision continued.
As Adam walks back towards Blake after sheathing his sword, he finds she is on a separate train car standing near the connector between the cars. As he reaches out to her she says but one word, "Goodbye."
No one made a comment at this as they all seemed to realise that this was a solemn moment, a moment of two people with differing values parting ways, this was something no one wanted to interrupt with a comment.
She severs the connection and watches the released carts slow down as she lets the rest of the train take her away. As she leaves, the background becomes completely red with a black silhouette of Blake in the middle, with black leaves falling down. Then the silhouettes of the girl in red, Weiss Schnee and Blake show themselves and become defined. The screen changes red background with black leaves before the screen fades to black.
Everyone took a moment to process what they saw before saying anything, Ozpin was the first to speak, "Well, while that was perhaps the darkest of the visions we have been shown, there is a few positive things that can be gotten from this, one of these are that we are one more vision away from meeting our mysterious host and another is that we have learned that there is a very powerful man with and absorbing semblance in the future to deal with."
Everyone processed what he said, the hunters nodded in agreement, while the others were in various states; the Belladonnas were very curious as to what this future would hold, and the other civilians were, while interested, still waiting to know why they were there. Summer took the time to look around and noticed that the place they were in had changed from its previous bland appearance to a brown floor and white walls with the colours still flowing through it, although most of them seemed to nearly, if not completely, stopped moving, although the crimson line was still moving as much as it was earlier. She was pulled away from her observations as the next vision started to play.
As stated above sorry this took so long. Now some people may wonder why I didn't focus on the Belladonnas that much and I have an easy explanation... I tried and failed multiple times to write more lines or areas for them and then gave up. The next one will be out sooner than a month from now I promise and it will be focusing more on STRQ particularly T and R...hopefully. Read and Review!
