Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Beacon, Lessons Learned.)
"Kid." Skyler heard as he turned to see Qrow behind him, the 2 Atlesian Soldiers behind him looked at Skyler for orders.
"What do you need, Qrow? I thought you did enough outside." Skyler said, crossing his arms, it was one thing attacking Atlesian Troops, that angered him.
What enraged him was Qrow having the nerve to show up and attack Winter.
"Whoa, your still mad I attacked ice queen?" Qrow said before he felt Lazuli Centurion aimed at his neck.
"You showed up, put people in danger… Wrecked the courtyard, nearly attacked Atlesian troops… And attacked my best friend, and you had the nerve to disrespect my uncle." Skyler hissed before he took a step back, Qrow looked him in the eye.
"And I'm not a kid, I'm 17," Skyler said as Qrow rolled his eyes.
"You're getting ticked because I had a sword fight with Winter, and because I mocked Jimmy. You're acting like a kid." Skyler heard from Qrow; he crossed his arms.
"And you're acting like an old man with no respect for the military who's protecting the city. I know you think we're scaring people… I didn't order them here; my uncle was asked to bring troops here." Skyler said, he brushed off his jacket and Qrow took a step back. Skyler turned and went to walk off.
"What about Yang?" Qrow suddenly asked, Skyler, stopped mid-step and turned to face him.
"What?" Skyler asked, Qrow took a step forward as Skyler stared him in the eye.
"Her arm, it's robotic, why?" Qrow asked, Skyler, ignored calling it cybernetic… Which it was and looked at the ground.
"She lost it fighting the White Fang, we took her back to Vale and I made her a new one to make up for it. I've been talking to her since and walking her through it… She nearly caught PTSD from that incident." Skyler said before he sighed and gritted his teeth.
"I've been going to visit her ever since then; I swear I'm going to make the White Fang pay for what they've been doing over the years," Skyler said, he heard his scroll buzz.
"Skyler, it's Winter, I need to speak with you at the courtyard, bring Ms. Xiao Long," Winter said, Skyler, turned to Qrow to see if he had a problem with that.
"I'll talk to my niece when she gets back… Just tell her I want to ask her about her new arm." Skyler heard, he nodded and motioned for the soldiers to return to their posts.
He turned and walked outside, he then walked back inside and walked to RWBY's dorm. He knocked on the door.
"Yang, Weiss's sister needs to talk to you, you, ok?" Skyler asked, Yang, opened the door a minute later, she smiled at Skyler.
"Time to meet Winter, Firefly," Skyler said with a smirk, Yang walked out and closed the door behind him, Skyler walked outside with Yang where Winter stood, he saw Weiss as well and smiled.
"What? Are you going to run home already, Winter? You're both a Specialist and a Lieutenant." Skyler joked, Winter looked over Yang who smirked and crossed her arms.
"I see the family resemblance, Winter, huh?" Yang asked, Winter had a small inch of a smirk tug at her lips.
"I see you both very happy together… I'm happy to see that Captain… And I am staying, General Ironwood said he needs me here for extra security and that you might be getting a promotion, he needs an officer if he's not around to command troops within Vale." Winter said, Skyler nodded and craned his neck to look at Weiss.
"Hey, Weiss, hope you guys win your next match," Skyler said, Weiss nodded before Yang looked at Winter.
"Weren't you the chick who fought my uncle Qrow?" Yang asked, Winter, nodded.
"Your uncle started a fight with me and was drunk like I said before… I let my temper get the best of me, but your uncle did insult Skyler's uncle and blamed us for the unease of the citizens… Something neither I nor Captain Azur has control over." Winter said, Skyler, sighed and turned to Yang.
"Winter, what did you need from us? The doubles matches are going to continue tomorrow." Skyler asked, Winter, nodded.
"General Ironwood said we'd be going on a mission soon, and he would like Yang to come along… He thinks whoever put the virus into the CCT tower is also planning to assault Vale… He tasked me with taking down the virus while you find who planted it." Winter said, Skyler crossed his arms, he thought he had been dealing with the virus due to his tech skills.
"You have to be kidding me," Skyler said as he put a hand to his face, Yang blinked in confusion.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done, I know it's short, the next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out next chapter will be the doubles match between Neon and Flynn vs Weiss and Yang. I also want to point out this season will go pretty quickly. Until next Saturday or Sunday, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: Ruby's story will be updated Monday or so.
