RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 21
Chrome
Hearing the door open, I looked up to see my team walk in. "I'm just sayin', if you have a chainsaw attached to a motorcycle, it would be pretty awe-" Maya was cut off as her sister tapped her arm.
"Hey." Nicci said to me. "What's up? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I...just heard some confusing news."
"What about?" Maya asked as she sat down next to me.
I slowly shook my head. "It's nothing." I got up and walked passed them and towards the door. "It's my problem. Come on, let's go catch some fights."
Minutes later, the arena
Heading for the seats, I heard someone yell. "Chrome!" I looked over to see Ruby, sitting next to Blake, was waving me over.
Glancing at my team, I gestured to Ruby. They nodded before following me over and sitting down. "Hey, Ruby."
"Yang and Weiss are up next." Blake told us.
I sat down next to Blake and watched as Yang and...my sister...walked onto the stage. Seeing, Weiss brought back those emotions I felt when I overheard her and Winter. Doubt, realization and confusion.
Seeing their opponents walk onto the stage, I leaned forward to watch the fight.
Minutes later
Weiss had gotten knocked out of the fight, leaving Yang to deal with her two opponents alone. She won, with the help of her semblance. Ruby and Blake rushed down to congratulate the two as I sat with my team.
"What an amazing display!" Port said as the next fighters began to randomize. "The next fight is..." I watched as me and Nicci were picked. "Chrome Belladonna and Nicole Redwood against Crimson Forest and Sean Haywood! Would you please enter the stage?" Me and Nicci stood up and headed for the stage.
Walking into the middle, our opponents joined us. Crimson had a chain wrapped around his wrist and Sean had a pair of gauntlets. The arena stages started to randomize.
To our left was a mountain and a storm. Behind us was a wheat field. To our right was a geyser field. And behind our opponents was the ruined building. "3...2...1...begin!"
Rushing towards our opponents, I wanted this fight over with as quick as possible. Pulling the lever on my weapons, I threw one of the blades at Crimson. Before it reached him, I called it back, making Crimson flinch, which gave me the perfect opportunity. "Ooh, a direct approach! I like it!" Port said.
Slicing passed him, I used gravity dust to turn my glyph black, keeping Crimson in place. Aiming my gun at him, I shot three times, each bullet hitting his chest. Still stuck, he tried to hit me with his chain but I easily spun over it before rushing him.
Getting close, I slashed at him again and had my glyph disappear. Catching him off guard, my attack knocked him to the ground.
As he looked up at me, I kicked the side of his face, draining his aura into the red. Hearing two buzzers go off, I looked up at the board to see Crimson and Sean had both of their auras in the red.
My aura was at half, since I used my semblance too much, and Nicci's was basically full. "What a match!" Port said. "The victor is Team CRMN!"
Sheathing my weapons, I started heading for the exit. As I left the coliseum, Ruby and her team rushed over to me. "Good job out there, Chrome!" Ruby said.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, you were awesome." Yang added.
I looked over to Blake, who smiled at me, before moving my eyes to Weiss. Seeing my gaze, she immediately looked to the ground and started rubbing her arm. "Thanks, you guys." I said, looking towards the others. "But I'm kinda tired. I'll see you later."
I walked passed them and started heading for the dorms.
Entering my room, I walked over to my desk. Remembering what Weiss and Winter had said angered me. I didn't want to believe it, but I started having my doubts. I have white hair instead of black, and the Schnee semblance. If those two things didn't show I had some drop of Schnee blood, then I don't know what does. My confusion quickly led to frustration, then anger.
Punching the desk, I placed my hand on a stack of books and threw them to the ground. "Fuck!"
I started angrily pacing back and forth. "Every Schnee has the ability to summon..." Winter's words echoed in my head.
"Summon, huh?" I looked to an empty part of the room. "Let's see if I truly am a Schnee." creating a glyph in the center of the room, I started to concentrate. I had no clue how to summon, so this was a shot in the dark.
As I stared at the glyph, I realized I had no idea what to try and summon. The glyph flickered and faded.
My first thoughts led me to a Beowolf. "Okay..." holding my hand out, I created another glyph and started thinking of a Beowolf.
Watching the glyph expand and shrink, I kept my focus on what the Beowolf looked like. Feeling myself grow a bit tired, I slumped to the ground as the glyph vanished. "Damn, this is exhausting."
Looking at where my glyph was, I noticed something small, white and blue was on the ground. Getting closer to it, I noticed it was a claw.
Picking it up, I looked it over before it vanished into blue and white dust. As what I had done sunk in, I felt my breathing slowly start to quicken.
The was no doubt now, I am a Schnee.
