[Somewhere in Mistral near a certain camp]
Yang, Tucker and the guy that they met from the gas station called they stopped by earlier were driving along a road to find Yang's mom. Tucker was a little irritated given the fact that the guy from the bar was on Yang's bike.
Yang was focused on the road as she grew impatient, "How much further, pal?" She asked as they passed by many trees.
The guy they picked looked around the trees, "This should just about do it." He said as they slowed their motorcycles to a halt. The man got off the bike, "You wait here, I'll go up ahead and make sure the coast is clear." He said as he hopped off and ran into the forest.
Yang and Tucker looked at each other, obviously guessing it was going to be a trap. They began to strap on their weapons and loosen up, as Yang put her arms up to stretch out her muscles and Tucker cracked his neck. They both heard a click as Yang shielded a fire shot with her metal arm and Tucker walked over to her side knowing she'd be alright.
The person who shot was the shady man from the gas station, "I can't believe you were dumb to let me lead you here." He said as he arrived with six more armed bandits.
Yang looked around, "Is this everyone?" She asked.
The shady man smiled, "Yes, little lady. This is it. Well, unless you count the whole rest of the camp back that way." He said pointing to the direction of the camp.
Tucker aimed his sword in the same direction, "That way?" He asked just to be sure.
The man looked towards his friends as he seemed confused, "Yes, that way." He said.
Yang had the same face on, "Good to know, thanks." She said.
The shady man pulled out his pistol, "Now to pay me back for this tooth, we're going to take your bikes and you're going to take your lumps." He said.
Tucker chuckled, "You serious? Want me to help out on this one?" He asked Yang.
Yang looked at Tucker, "Naw, I got this." She said as she aimed her human arm to the ground and unsheathed her gauntlet.
All the bandits became tense as they got into their own fighting stances, "You got the jump on me last time, bud. So you really ought to think twice before letting your girlfriend fight your battles for-" He paused as he saw Yang's robotic arm uncover two shotgun barrels from the top of the hand, "Alright, Get Her!" He ordered.
The bandits rushed Yang as she walked slowly and beat them down one by one. The first two stood no chance at close range as Yang had many more years of close combat training than they did. The ones that had long range weapons were soon met with Yang's rush and came face to face with her and met the same fate as many others. The shady man tried to attack from behind but was met with stomp to the foot from Yang, then a punch as she knocked him back.
The shady man that was knocked back to the point where he was able to get enough range between him and Yang to land a clean shot. He took aim as she was beating down the rest of the bandits and fired as she was distracted, but missed. He now had Yang's full attention as she knocked out the last two guys with one bold move she boosted towards the last guy as he tried to ready his gun. With no luck of fixing it he switched to the bottom blade tried to slash as she came at him, but she used her gauntlets to boost up and flip over his head then punch him so hard he was knocked into another guy.
She felt her hand begin to twitch as she rubbed it to ease the tension, she then motioned to Tucker to walk with her.
The shady man was attempting to speak as he had the wind knocked out of him, "Who are you? It doesn't even matter. When Raven finds out what you did, you're dead!" He shouted with a broken toothed smile.
Yang kept looking forward, "Possibly, but I doubt it. I'm her daughter, after all." She said as she turned back for a brief moment then continued walking.
The shady man was left behind as he realized his position, "I'm dead." He said as he collapsed to the floor.
[In Mistral In the backyard of the Apartment]
Ruby and Oscar were practicing hand to hand combat to make Ruby become better and to put her outside her usual comfort zone. From outside the match it seemed that the two were evenly matched with their knowledge in fighting that close.
While they were fighting team JNPR were watching from the sidelines. Jaune watched and was impressed, "Man, Oz wasn't kidding. Oscar's picking up on this stuff fast." He said as the matched continued.
Oscar was evenly matched with Ruby and landed a punch directly at her face, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." He apologized, or attempted to. Ruby used Oscar's distraction and landed a punch to his jaw line, knocking him far back.
Ruby got excited she improved on her fighting ability, "Ha, yes! I did it!" She celebrated her small victory, "Oscar?" She asked making sure he was alive.
Ozpin was talking to Oscar in his head, "You forgot to engage your aura again." Ozpin said. "Why didn't you tell me?" Oscar asked. "Because this method makes you less likely to forget." Ozpin answered, "Mind if I give it a shot?" He asked as he took the controls.
"Not bad, Miss Rose." Ozpin said, "But Oscar doesn't have the years of training that you do. Or I do." He said as he engaged Oscar's aura.
Everyone knew that this fight just became a lot more one sided, including Ruby, "Oh, heh, ha, well, maybe we should, uh...take a break?" She suggested to save her skin. But Ozpin stuck to his word about going easy, as he exploded at Ruby with a tremendous speed and energy and full on offensive not letting her catch a break. Aiming directly at her face, Ruby decided to go on the offensive as well but ended up with a back of Oscar's head to her face as she fell backwards.
That defensive move made the crowd hurt, "Ouch." Nora said.
Ozpin now stood tall, "The next time you want to throw a left cross remember to push off with the appropriate foot. And as always, do be aware of any openings." He informed.
"Got it." Ruby said with great difdifficulty. Until Ozpin reverted back to Oscar, making Oscar catch his breath, "Oh, hey. Are you okay?" She asked.
Oscar was catching his breath, "How is this so exhausting?" He asked.
Ren informed him why, "Your body isn't used to this kind of training. Not to mention generating a defensive aura on your own. It takes intense concentration at first, but in time it will become a second hand nature, allowing you to deflect attacks and gradually heal your wounds. After that, you can begin focusing on your semblance, whatever that may be." He said from his meditation position.
Oscar was confused, "Semblance?" He asked as if it was a new word.
"You know, like your very own superpower." Nora said popping out of nowhere, "Everyone's got one, it's just a matter of finding it and mastering it. Ruby moves super fast, electricity makes me stronger, Ren can mask emotions, Pyrrah can control metal, and Jaune can...uh um hmm." She thought of the last one.
Jaune answered her in slight frustration with himself, "I can't do anyth-"
"Jaune is like you," Pyrrah said to spare him some difficulty in speaking about his lack of ability, "Even though he hasn't found his semblance yet, we all know he will. And so will you. We all just need to try and help each other get stronger." She said cheering both up.
"Cool." Oscar said.
Ren spoke again, "A common philosophy, is that a warrior's semblance is a part of who they are. Some say that your personality and character can define your semblance, while some claim that it is the other way around. Of course, there are still many who don't see a connection at all." He said.
"It's hard to know when you know sometimes." Nora said, "Ren's semblance was unlocked from intense stress."
Ruby joined in, "And mine kicked in during training one day."
"What about you?" Oscar asked Nora.
"Oh, struck by lightning. Didn't die. Crazy Thursday." Nora said as if it was a normal thing.
Jaune looked disturbed, "I just don't understand what's wrong with me. I train, I meditate, but..." He said.
Ozpin comforted his young leader, "Don't worry Mr. Arc, your journey is far from over. And the same might be said for all of you, Unlocking your semblance isn't the end. It can still grow and evolve, providing you're willing to put in the work, who knows what can happen." The young Ozpin said.
Ruby seemed more energized now, "Then let's get back to it." She offered.
[Back in the Brawnwen Camp]
Yang and Tucker were being escorted by multiple bandits as they went to meet her Mom. They glanced around to see all the different faces in the crowd, from young, to old.
Somewhere else, a few of the guards had gotten up from their card game as they left a cage unattended.
They stopped at the front of a large tent to see a woman, with long black hair and a red and black mask come out of a tent.
"Mom." Yang said as she placed a hand on her hip.
The woman removed her mask showing red eyes and other features that resembled her daughter very much. The woman smiled, "Yang." She placed her helmet down, "So, after all this time, you finally decided to visit me." She said as if Yang could.
Yang's arm was slightly twitching, "You know that I searched for you. I spent years looking for you." She said.
Raven responded, "And you've found me. You were patient, determined, and strong enough to make your dream a reality. Well done Yang. But did you have to be so rough with my men?" She said as if speaking with a child.
Yang came back at her mother, "I didn't want a fight. They started it." Saying a five year old response like a full grown adult.
Raven still smiling was pleased with her daughter, "Well, you certainly finished it." She said letting a long silence go by, "Right, I'm sure this is all very overwhelming. But I must admit, that you've proven yourself. So any questions you have I'll be happy to answer. You can stay with us tonight, I'll even have the cooks whip up something for you and your...traveling companion." She said referring to Tucker.
"That's not why we're here." Yang said in an intimidating voice.
"What was that?" Raven asked no longer pleased.
"I'm not here for you. Ruby is somewhere in Mistral, she's with Qrow and she's going to need my help." Yang said. "I just need you to take me to her."
Raven was not obeying her daughter's wishes, "And why would I do that?" She asked.
Yang responded, "Because we're family." She said.
Raven acted as though it angered her, "Family, only coming around when they need something. I have to say, I'm disappointed. After all, you found me, didn't you? Why not take that drive and use it to find your little sister if she really means that much to you?" She asked her daughter.
Yang got a little proud she put her mom on the ropes, "Because you're going to save me time. Ruby was heading to Mistral, but there's no guarantee she's made it there. Looking for her in Anima could take ages. But, Dad told me how your semblance works." Yang said taking pride in that.
Raven looked at the ground, "Tai..." She said.
"You can bond to certain people." Yang explained her mother's semblance, "And when you do, you could create a portal that take you straight to them. You've got one for Dad. One for me. And you've got one for Qrow. He promised me he'd watch out for Ruby before he left, and I trust him. So, make a portal to my uncle and sister, and I'll be on my way." She said as Tucker kept his hands folded and watched the argument.
"You know, it takes real strength to march in here and demand such a favor of me." Raven began her process on deciding whether or not to help her, "I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's very noble to want to help out your sister. But if she's with Qrow, then she's already a lost cause." She said.
"What does that mean?" Yang asked, clearly tired of getting no answers.
"You don't want to get mixed up in all of that, Yang." Raven tried to warn, "Ozpin is not the man you think he is. And Qrow is a fool for trusting him. I would know, I trusted him once too." She said.
Yang had enough, "I don't care what you think." She said earning an angry crowd behind her.
Raven kept calm, "Your choice is your own. All I'm suggesting is that instead of getting wrapped up in something too big for you, for any of us, that maybe you take a moment to wonder if you're already where you belong." She said urging her to join the clan.
Yang was near the end of her fuse, "Save your breath. You can spout off whatever you want, but nothing is going to keep me from my sister." She said, standing up to her mom.
Raven placed a hand on her sword, "Well, aren't you stubborn." She said with a fake smile.
Yang responded sarcastically, "I get it from my mom." She said folding her arms.
Raven couldn't shake her decision, "Well if that's how you feel, then I guess we're done here. Take them away." She said as she began walking away. The bandits had begun to surround the two as Raven was chickening out.
Yang was now tired of her mother dodging her, "Did you not hear me?" She asked getting her mother to turning around, "I said send me to Qrow, damn it!" She demanded.
One of the Bandits got involved, "That's enough, you watch your mouth in front of our leader." He said as he and the other bandits crowded around.
Tucker stood between the one that spoke out and Yang, "Why don't you make us?" He said as he kept his sword at his side and held up two hands.
The bandit looked towards the crowd then ran at Tucker with his machete and full speed. Tucker leaned back against the swing as he put his hands into a palm and palm hill struck him through a tent. That seemed to have revealed something.
Weiss looked up to the people in the middle, "Yang?" She asked.
Yang looked to the cage, "Weiss?" She asked.
Simmons looked up as well, "Tucker?" He questioned.
Tucker responded like everyone else, "Simmons?" He asked.
Simmons scratched the back of his neck, "Well this is awkward..." He said.
Weiss went to plan B, "Alright, well subtlety is out." She said as she focused on creating a massive knight glyph. The small knight she was currently working with had transformed into a massive white knight that had grew so big it ripped off the entire roof of the cage. As the cage fell apart Weiss and Simmons rushed towards the two in the middle with Knight behind them.
Yang looked back from her fighting position, "What is that?" She asked.
Weiss still focused on the fight answered, "Don't worry about it. What are you doing here?" She asked.
Yang then shrugged her head towards Raven, "Well, that's my mom and she can take us to Ruby." She answered.
Weiss looked at Raven, "Your mom kidnapped us?!" She asked.
Yang looked at her mom, "You kidnapped them?!" She asked.
As the crowd began to roar, there was a different roar approaching. The roar of a very powerful beast, and it's music, "I know that song..." Simmons said.
From the wall near the cages, a giant metal puma rose from the wall and landed behind the knight. Out from the jeep came a Soldier with a red camouflage helmet and two shotguns with axe blades at the bottom of the pump as he lept out. He spoke with the voice of steel, "Heh heh, guess who's entered the fight? Wait, dammit I had a good one liner." He said as he held his guns up.
The jeep also had a robot who stood on the back and acted like a turret as it watched the people. It also had a pink cat faunus that was under the Robot legs, "Surprise, I came to lay down my metal." He said.
The robot apparently sighed, "{Shut Up! Get out from their}" The robot demanded.
Everyone stopped preparing for a fight as a lighting bolt hit the ground causing everyone to shut up. Except the person who approached the cage earlier, "Enough!" Vernal demanded.
Raven spoke again, "Thank you." She said, "If you people don't keep it together this place will be crawling with Grimm. Give the girl her weapon back." She said to Vernal. Vernal looked back in anger as she had to give up such a weapon, but handed it back nonetheless. Raven had much to say now, "You all. In my tent. Now." She demanded.
Yang was unsteady now, "Why?" She asked threateningly.
Ravens was no longer in the mood to argue, "If you're really going after your sister, then you need to know the truth." She said as she walked into the tent waiting for them to follow.
As the crowd dispersed, Yang was about to apologize, "Sorry about-" She paused as Weiss hugged her.
Yang was surprised to receive a hug from Ice Queen, until she heard her say, "I missed you so much." She said closing her eyes.
Yang smiled and hugged back, "I missed you too." She said as she held on tightly to her friend, not letting go.
