Heyo everyone after this chapter we'll be entering volume two of Rwby but also this is where I'll take a break from updating new chapters to focus on the current fifteen to add more context and other things I feel like I should've or forgotten to add.
Now let's begin!

(Main story)
With Elridian, Blake, Sun
"So what now?" Sun asked.
Blake sighed. "I still don't believe the White fang is behind these robberies, they've never needed that much dust before," she answered.
Elridian decided to chip into the conversation. "You'd be surprised but again we have no proof."
"I mean the only way to prove if they didn't do it is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it and not find them there, right?" He finished pointing his fingers at the couple.
"Sure." Elridian shrugged. He wasn't all to worry about nor keen on what they were planning as again and knew no matter the results, his involvement with the White Fang or Roman wouldn't be revealed yet.
"The only thing is I have no idea where that would be," Blake said frowning.
"Well while I was on the ship I heard some guys about offloading a huge shipment of dust coming in from Atlas."
"How huge?"
"HUGE big shiny company freighter," he stretched his arms wide to emphasize his point.
"You sure?"
"As sure as I can be," Sun replied before pulling out a banana from nowhere.
"The fuck?" Thought the void walker.
Blake sighed. "At least we have a lead," she leans her head on Elridian's shoulder.
"True better than nothing...I wonder how the others are doing," he rested his head on hers.

With Yang and Weiss
Both teens exited a store. "Alright well thanks anyway," Yang waved the shopkeeper goodbye before letting the door close. "You alright Weiss?" Yang asked seeing the white-haired girl was gloomy.
"Somewhat been thinking a lot about what El said that's all?"
"What part of it?"
She looked at Yang. "The part where he told us how many people he's killed...I still can't wrap my mind around that," she was still in disbelief at her boyfriend's kill count.
"Yeah...I can understand that but he had his reasons."
"I know, I also just hope Blake won't be too upset with me when I see her again."
Yang put a hand on her shoulder giving her a soft smile. "Im sure everything will work out. We just gotta be patient."
Weiss gave a faint smile and nodded. "I know." It was silent for a moment but the blonde smirked.
"How do you think Ruby's doing?" Yang asked chuckling at how they ditched her with the strange orange-haired girl.
0000000000000000
With Ruby and Penny
"So blake is your friend?" Penny asked for what seemed like the millionth time as Ruby groaned slightly in annoyance.
"Yes, penny."
"And you're mad at her?"
"Yes-well no Weiss is I think, It's complicated " Ruby caught herself. In the beginning, she was upset with the faunus but after a few hours, she's mostly over it.
"Why's it complicated?"
Ruby sighed. "Well, you see Blake wasn't who we thought she was."
Penny gasped "Is she a man!" Ruby stopped to look at her incredulously before replying.
Ruby waved her at penny. "No, no penny she didn't tell us much before she ran off."
"I don't have a lot of friends but if I did I would want them to talk to me about things."
"Me too."

With Elridian, Blake, and Sun
The trio is currently at the docks on top of a building waiting for any suspicious activity.
"Did I miss anything?"
Blake looked at the monkey faunus. "Not really they've offloaded all the crates from the boat now they're just sitting there."
"Cool, I stole you guys some food." He tossed one to the void walker.
"Thanks" He then took a bite out of the fruit.
"Do you always break the law without a second thought?"
"Hey weren't you in a cult or something," he snapped back.
They both glared at the now frightened monkey faunus.
"Ok too soon."
Then all of a sudden a bullhead hovers over them and begins to land in the middle of the docks. It landed and several members of the White fang walked out of the aircraft.
"You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?"
"No, I think deep down I knew I just didn't want to be right."
"Hey what's the hold-up?!" One of the White fang members shouted causing the three teens to look down.
"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment so why don't you guys hurry up or would you rather explain to Death-Seeker why we took longer than usual," the last sentence caused the members to go pale at the thought.
(Just in case anyone forgot Team RWBY, or anyone that is aligned within the four kingdoms doesn't know about Elridian's other name just wanted to make that clear.)
"Death-Seeker?" Blake's eye narrowed, "could he be the reason why the White Fang and Roman are working together?"
"Maybe but we have no idea of knowing though," Sun replied.
"Guess there's only one way to find out."
Sun turned his head to see Elridian and Blake standing up with the void walker looking entirety bored with the situation and with Blake with Gambrol Shroud in hand.
"Hey what are yous doing?!" He asked incredulously but he was ignored as the couple jumped down running toward Roman Direction.
The two snuck around the area but they eventually found Roman with another member of the White fang.
"No you idiot this isn't a leash," before he could continue he felt the edge of a sword pressing down on his neck lightly, "what the," he slightly turned his head to see it was his bosses girlfriend and Elridian, "oh for fuck-" he was silenced when Blake pressed the blade against his neck. The orange-haired man sighed "Please don't let your woman kill me," Roman thought.
"Nobody move!" Blake demanded.
The White fang members quickly surrounded them and aimed their weapons at the two but were also inwardly shitting themselves knowing their asses were about to get beaten by their undercover boss.
Elridian felt the fear radiating off of them and smirked. "At least I gave them a heads up I was involved," He thought to himself.
"You do remember how terrifying you can be right? I don't even think a warning could help prepare themselves for this slaughter," Summer rolled her eyes at the void walker.
Blake took her bow off and the other White fang members were less tense. "Brothers of the White fang why are you aiding this scum and who the fuck is 'Death-Seeker'?!"
They all went pale when she said that name and she noticed the fear in their eyes and surprisingly felt Roman shaking.
"Didn't you get the memo?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The White fang and I are under new management," he smirked losing all the fear he had earlier.
"Tell me who he is or I'll put an end to your little operation" she threatened pressing her blade further against his neck.
Then several bullheads hovered over them quickly landing several meters away from them.
"I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation," while Blake was distracted Roman aimed his cane at the ground and pulled the trigger causing Blake to go flying and undoubtedly attracting attention to themselves due to the gunshot being loud enough to be heard from miles and the black smoke that was rising to the sky. The older man smirked but his smirk quickly disappeared when he saw Elridian looking at him deadpanned. "Sorry," he nervously laughed.
Elridian smirked which caused Roman to nearly piss himself as the teen was now slowly approaching the man. "I'll be sure you get paid extra," the teen thought as he was preparing to strike Roman with a weak strike but he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard growling.
His eyes narrowed dangerously when he saw two massive black void beasts that had Grimm-like features. Most people would've shat themselves from looking at the things. Both were well over twelve feet tall, were extremely muscular with no fat visible, had bone-like armor nearly covering them from head-toe with the signature red markings that normally covered the armor, and had razor-sharp spikes protruding from most their bodies.
Elridian knew these were no ordinary void beasts and that's what made him groan in annoyance as for once he wished he was wrong.
Meanwhile Roman was making his escape but he was stopped by Blake and Sun who were in fighting stances. "You're not going anywhere so you might as well give up Torchwick," Blake growled.
Roman sighed and raised his cane. "Sorry but I can't do that kitty cat," he smirked, "but on the bright side I get to try out my new moves." Roman shot at the ground again causing smoke to appear and use this to quickly augmented himself with a Sign.
Blake and Sun dashed toward Roman both striking at the same time but their attacks were blocked by the older man. The teens began to unleash a fury of melee attacks and gunshots but were all effortlessly dodged or blocked by a smirking Roman.
"Do you really think it was gonna be that easy kitty cat and monkey boy?" He taunted...
Blake growled and used an augmentation Sign. In the blink of an eye, Blake was going blow to blow with Torchwick and left Sun completely bewildered by what just happened.
While the two were fighting Blake was wondering how Roman was able to keep up with her so easily. She knew the man was by no means a pushover or otherwise how else would be able to run his criminal empire but she had received training that should've put her leagues above most in her chosen profession so it made her wonder if this Death-Seeker character was actually Elridian's older brother and was there possibility Roman was being trained by the enemy void walker.
If that were the case then this would undoubtedly be much more difficult to defeat the criminal as he had the backing of one of the worst beings known throughout existence.
The battle between the two was tense as each time their weapons made contact their weapons it would sound like thunder.
"Not bad kitty cat but it's gonna take a lot more than that to take me down," Roman claimed. He then head-butted the cat faunus then grabbed her by the throat and threw her as hard as he could at a storage container the result was a massive dent and a very pissed off Blake.
Blake had Gambrol Shroud in one hand and Shadow Mane in the other which was one of the tri-barrel handguns that Elridian gave her. Blake aimed Shadow Mane at Roman. Before Roman could even react he took a knee to the face sending the older man several feet away.
"What the fuck was that?!" He exclaimed. The only answer he received was several shots of energy being sent his way which he quickly deflected and shot back at the cat faunus. "I swear you kids get always get th better toys!"
Blake got within his vicinity and went for a roundhouse kick which was blocked but quickly flipped away after she took a couple of shots at Roman who was able to evade the energy blasts. Once Blake landed she was immediately met with a strike to the face and felt her arm being grabbed but was too slow to react as she was flipped over.
Once on the ground Roman twisted Blake's Wrist causing her to drop Gambrol Shroud and grunt in pain but pushed through the pain and used an explosive Sign-on Roman.
"SON OF A BITCH!!" He exclaimed as he was sent crashing toward the shipping container. "Fucking shit that fucking hurt like a motherfucker...thank the boss for the aura boost or that would've taken me out," he muttered.
"Now tell me who is Death-Seeker!!" Blake shouted as charged up Gambrol Shroud and Shadow Mane and pulled the trigger on both weapons which released a giant orb of energy moving at speeds that scared the living shit out of the criminal.
He quickly moved at the way and made his way toward Blake giving her an elbow to the face, he then followed that up with a powerful push kick that sent the cat faunus to the ground.
He had his cane aimed at her head. "He's the kinda guy that makes all the most powerful and feared criminals in the world shit themselves, if he sees something he likes he gets it, if he wants results he gets them, and if he wants you dead, you'd be dead but not before he reminds you why he's feared," his cane was now pressed against her head, "do you really fuck with a guy like that?"
Blake's eye glowed with determination. "So long as I know there are scumbags like you out in the world I'll never give up and I won't back down!" She pressed her against the cane and smirked. "Besides I have some pretty handy tools to get the job done." She then appeared behind Roman twirling around before kicking him in the head with enough force to send him crashing toward the closest building.
Roman coughed. "It's official kitty cat is on my shit list."
Meanwhile, this was going Sun was fighting off a horde of white fang members and was soon getting overwhelmed.
He flipped over three of the members, and kicked two in the face while a hit the last one with his stuff but before he could land he was tackled to the ground by a bear faunus. "That hurt," he said slowly as most of the air he had in his lungs had left after being slammed to the ground.
"Good" replied the bear faunus. The man lifted Sun by the throat and punched Sun in the abdomen several times breaking the monkey faunus aura. "This ain't nothing personal but we got a job to do and you guys are in the way," he took out a large knife, and grabbed Sun by the hair causing him to hiss in pain, "im sorry my fellow faunus." The bear was about to slit Sun's throat but at the last moment, he was dropped to the ground he was saved by Ruby who kicked the bear faunus in the face sending the man flying several meters away.
Ruby and Penny without much effort knocked out the remaining white fang members, afterward their attention turned to Sun.
"You alright?" Ruby asked concerned for the older teen.
"Yeah." Sun sighed in relief to see her and Penny. "Thanks for the save. Names Sun." He smirked at them and stood back up.
"No problem! Im Ruby" She chirped.
"And I'm Penny!" She waved at the monkey faunus.
Before any more questions could be asked Blake landed face-first on the ground a few meters away from them.
"Blake!!" Ruby shouted as she quickly made her way toward her teammate and helped her up.
"How'd you find us?" Blake asked between coughs.
"Not Important who did-" Before Ruby could ask anything she was interrupted by a Roman.
"Why hello, Red isn't past your bedtime?" He said in a mocking tone.
Ruby frowned at the comment but smirked when she summoned Rose's N Thorns and took aim at Torchwick. Roman's eyes opened widened like saucers and quickly evaded the concreted energy blast. He silently cursed Elridian for giving his girls badass weapons and not giving him one. Roman was then engaged by Ruby and Blake while the remaining white fang forces were busy dealing with Sun and Penny.
Roman gave a Ruby a good backhand across the face while he amped his weapon with a Sign and shot Blake in the torso causing her to skid back a meter.
"Careful!! He knows chaos magic!!!" Blake warned. This warning caused Ruby to go wide-eyed.
"WHAT HOW?!!" She was now even more willing to put Roman down even more so than before.
"That little Red is due to Death-Seeker a new player in town," Roman grinned confirming this false information for the sake of keeping Elridian's cover hidden, "you should be lucky he ain't here, or otherwise you guys wouldn't be alive at the moment." He answered while warning the teens to back off. Roman pulled out a remote and pressed a button. The result was that a horde of White fang members appeared right beside Roman. "Now let's even out the odds. You guys take care of the extras Red and kitty cat are mine."
Sun and Penny immediately went to deal with the horde leaving Roman, Ruby, and Blake alone.
Ruby growled. "You're not getting away with this!" She and Blake Both get within Roman's range and began to work as a team.
Blake would appear behind Roman kicking him toward Ruby who in return kneed the man in the balls as she was always reminded to fight dirty by Elridian. Then swung Crescent rose at the criminal's face making him skid away but also took a couple of shots at him with Vanquisher.
The results were as Elridian said 'nasty' as Roman was high up in the air when the energy shot made contact.
"Ok, you know what fuck it, as long as I don't kill them I'll be fine. I'm done holding back when they have such bullshit weapons!" Roman thought getting extremely pissed off with the teens. While in mid-air Roman amped and charged up his cane. Then he aimed at the teen releasing a powerful shot that exploded on impact. Once he landed safely with the aid of chaos magic he looked at his handy work and winced.
"I really hope he doesn't beat my ass," he thought but he soon stopped worrying as he blocked two attacks from the teens.
"It's gonna take a lot more than that to take us down, Roman!" Ruby hissed.
"Good cause I'm just getting started." He grinned.
Meanwhile, Elridian for once had to take a fight seriously as his brother's creations were putting up much more of a fight than expected as the area they were fighting at was now nothing but rumble, and shipment containers were as flat as pancakes or were torn to shreds, there were gigantic holes in the buildings nearby or were completely destroyed and their massive craters in the ground. Elridian was currently using his five percent and the void beasts were still able to hold their own against him.
They were significantly more intelligent as unlike most void beasts who normally would use brute force and fight like a wild animal were actually using their overwhelming physical capabilities and versatility with precision. Each strike they were able to land on the teen stunned him long enough for the creatures to double team him causing his blood to spill everywhere.
"Fucking cunts!!!" The teen growled as he was impaled through the shoulder by one of the void beast's tendrils. He then grabbed the tendril with his hands and with his full strength swung the void beast into another one. He grunted as he pulled the tendril out but once it was fully out his healing factor kicked in and within seconds he was healed. He then summoned a sword in hand and an automatic shotgun in the other then dashed toward them.
The creatures were got but as soon as they did were immediately shot several times in the face by the teen which stunned them long enough for the teen to go for the killing blow however he was disappointed when his sword was stuck in the thick bone armor of the void beast.
"Oh for fuck sake!!!!" He struggled to pull his sword out of the beast's armor but after a few more pulls it was freed much to his delight. However, this was short-lived as he was struck in the face that sent him flying a few meters he made a construct out of chaos energy and landed on it but soon propelled himself towards the recovering void beasts.
They quickly shifted their arms into shields as Elridian attacked them with great force that caused a massive Shockwave that blew away anything that was nearby.
Elridian jumped back in frustration and decided to transform into his singularity form. He let out a terrifyingly powerful roar that scared the shit out of anyone who called themselves his enemy.
What happened afterward was a slaughter as despite the many new improvements they were still no match for a pissed-off void walker. They didn't right away of course as he had to tear them limb from limb several times he even started with the head but thoughs managed to regenerate at alarming rates so with only one idea left he used a fire Sign and burned them to where they were nothing but ashes.
He transformed back into his regular state. "Now let go see how the others are holding up against Torchy." As soon as was about to make his way toward the others he saw Ruby and Penny get sent toward a building going through the wall. He sighed. "Glynda is going to be up my ass when she finds out about all the property damage we caused," he then saw Blake and Sun flying in his direction and quickly caught them both, "what am I going to do with you two?" He asked rhetorically letting his hold on two go.
"Thanks for the catch," Sun said in a weak tone as he was heavily injured from his fight with Torchwick which caused Elridian to slightly smirk but it soon faded as his attention turned toward Blake with concern in his eyes.
"You alright my love?" He asked holding her hand and gently squeezing it.
Blake weakly smiled at him. "I've been better but been ive had worse," answered squeezing his hand back, "but now we need to finish this." Her eyes flared with determination.
He grinned. "Agreed." But before they could do anything they heard the sound of a Bullhead about to take off. They looked to see Roman waving at them.
"I'd love to stick around but I prefer to live so see ya later kiddos!!" Before anyone could react the bullhead was already too far gone for any of them to follow.
"Noooooooooo!" Blake shouted in frustration.
"Well shit," Elridian commented and he looked at Blake with sympathy, "we should go check on the others." He quickly made his way toward Ruby with the other behind him. They found Ruby unconscious, Elridian lifted her bridal style but then he noticed something. "Where the fuck is penny? Didn't she also get folded like a fresh towel?"
"Yeah," Sun answered. He looked around and saw no sign of the orange-haired, "must of went to go help?"
They heard the sounds of police sirens. "Well doesn't matter anymore." He sighed. This was going to be a long night for the teens.
After a while of answering the police officer's questions, the teens were greeted by Yang and Weiss. Once Blake saw the white-haired girl she stood up and made his way toward her
Both stopped to look at one another. "Weiss I just wanted to let you know I'm no longer associated with the White Fang and-" she was interrupted by Weiss.
"Stop I've had a lot of time to think and," she paused for a moment with all eyes on her, "I don't care."
"You don't care?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"You said it yourself your no longer associated with the White Fang so it doesn't matter anymore plus," she walked up to hug her, "im just glad your safe."
Blake was surprised but happily hugged back. "Me too."
"Just promise when there's something big you'll come to us or El and not," Weiss glanced at Sun for a moment, "other people."
"I promise."
"Good." Weiss broke the hug and everyone was in a cheerful mood until Ruby finally noticed Penny was gone.
"Um, where's Penny?"
"No clue, she was gone when we found you unconscious," Elridian replied who was also still curious about the disappearance of the odd girl but he would set it aside for now, "but I'm sure she's fine."
"Agree now let's head home I'm tired." Weiss grabbed Elridian's hand with Ruby following her example and grabbing his other hand. Before they could go anywhere Blake spoke up.
"Wait aren't we going to tell them about Roman?" Blake asked the void walker.
Yang and Weiss looked at them waiting for an answer as they were confused. Seeing their reaction he sighed. "I really wanted to deal with this tomorrow but fuck it Roman knows how to use Chaos magic?" He said flatly.
"WHAT?!!!" Both girls shouted.
"How?! And if this is true why aren't you worried about it?" Weiss asked incredulously.
He shrugged. "He probably met my brother, don't know why he'd give Roman the ability to use it but then again I've never been able to really understand him. As for why I'm not worried it's cause Roman is most likely limited to what kind of Signs he can use."
"Still this makes him a lot more dangerous than before," Yang added.
"Especially if your brother is involved," Blake said.
Ruby nodded in agreement. "They're right. Roman was able to still kick our butts even with his limitations and your brother..." She shivered in discomfort.
"And I'll worry about that later but can we please go home I'm tired as fuck those void beasts took a lot outta me," he groaned.
"There were void beasts?!" Weiss asked.
"Yup now let's go!" He said getting impatient.
"But-"
"Home!"
The girls sighed in defeat.
"I think they forgot I was here." Sun thought as he watched all of this unfold.
"Alright, but we are continuing this discussion tomorrow." Weiss pressed her finger onto Elridian's chest.
The Void Walker smirked. "You got it."
The five of them made their way back to Beacon and Sun with the help of Elridian was given a place to stay in the city.
0000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, Roman was at a warehouse somewhere else in the Vale. He was carrying a container and set it on the table before he sighed deeply. "How very disappointing Roman." Replied a woman behind Roman.
"Woah," he jumped in surprised and turned around to see the face of Cinder, "wasn't expecting to see you guys so soon." His eyes glanced at the giant figure behind her.
"We were expecting more from you." She replied with disappointment in her tone.
"Hey, you guys were the one who suggested working alongside with thoughs stupid bunch from the White fang and thoughs creepy-ass looking mother fuckers. Which by the way if it isn't obvious enough got killed," he retorted.
She had her palm out and fire emitted from her hand. "And you will continue to do so and as for the Stalkers," she smirked, "Ryzorin can easily create more."
"She's Right," Ryzorin appeared beside her with Mercury and Emerald behind the two, "besides we have big plans for you all you need is to cooperate." A Black lightning-like aura emitted from the massive void walker.
Roman gulped. "Who are you?" He's sounding a little shaky.
Ryzorin smirked. "Death."
Alright, I'll see ya'll later, and hope you enjoyed the read.
Have a great day!!!!
