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.
(Branwen Camp, Lighting the Fire.)
Yang felt every eye in the camp on her as she walked to the middle of the camp. She cracked her knuckles.
She stared at her mother, it was like looking into a mirror except for black hair and crimson eyes that she only had when she used her semblance.
"Mom," Yang growled out as Skyler stood next to her. She was unaware of the Atlesian Troops moving through the brush around the camp.
"Yang… And who is this?" Raven asked, Skyler already saw every bandit reaching for their weapon.
Yang put her right hand in front of Skyler as he was reaching for Centurion Lazuli.
"My fiancée, Colonel Skyler Azur." Yang said as all the bandits exchanged looks, Yang smirked, then she dropped the bomb.
"He's Atlesian Black Ops," Yang said, every gun and sword were trained on them before Raven went to hold up her hand.
That was when the clicking of guns was heard, over a dozen Atlesian Soldiers and AK-200s trained their rifles on the bandits. 4 Atlesian Paladins-290S trained laser sights on them.
One of the bandits drew crescent-shaped guns and fired at Skyler who went to deflect them before a glyph appeared in front of him. The bandit was knocked to the ground as Winter put her swords to her throat.
"I'd suggest you'd back down…. Before you get your entire tribe arrested or worse." Winter stated as Yang turned to Skyler who raised an eyebrow.
"I see you've made friends, Yang… You know Atlas isn't telling you the truth though…." Raven said, not blinking at her entire tribe suddenly being on the far end of a losing battle as Skyler looked at the bandit queen.
"I don't think you're in any position to talk with your parenting record… Among other things. I'm here for my fiancée, not because of you…" Skyler said as he turned to Yang.
"You wanted to talk to your mom, talk, she's not going anywhere… Not with her little bandit army, at least." Skyler stated, glaring at Raven.
"You weren't strong enough to find me on your own, hmm?" Raven asked, Skyler, growled silently.
He hated this woman, not just because of the list of crimes that would land her in jail for the rest of her life 2 times over. He knew what she was like.
"Says the terrorist wanted for murder, assault, resisting arrest, destruction of property, arson, the fact that you never once came back to see your daughter when she was born… But you still think it's fine because of their 'weak' right?" Skyler growled out as Yang turned to him.
"Sky, I got this, ok?" Yang asked, Skyler sighed and nodded before motioning for Winter to move away. Winter kicked away the bandit's guns and then walked away.
"You get in any trouble and we're leaving…" Skyler softly said and then walked away. He knew Raven was more dangerous than her entire tribe, he could have brought half of Atlas military and he knew she was still dangerous.
"You can't trust him, Yang," Raven said, Yang rolled her eyes and walked back and forth.
"You know I don't care… Second, he's been around far longer than you have… You haven't." Yang said with a growl, she was already preparing herself for a fight.
"You didn't need me, you survived Vale just fine, didn't you?" Raven asked, Yang's left arm shook, Yang kept it under control.
"I know about your semblance, you're going to send us to Ruby…" Yang stated Raven rolled her eyes, even if Tai or Skyler told her about her semblance… Something she doubted even a Black Ops officer knew it.
"You think I'm going to help you because you're my daughter? Didn't you bring an army because you knew how dangerous I could be in this situation?" Raven asked as Raven kept her composure, losing control in front of Raven wouldn't help.
"I did it because both my fiancée and my father told me how dangerous you are… They both said this is the only thing you understand…" Yang said as she cocked Ember Celica and aimed the gauntlet at her mother.
"They'd be right," Raven said as her mother walked towards her, Skyler rested his hand on his weapon, already ready to jump in and defend his fiancée if he had to.
"You ask when you should be demanding," Raven stated as Yang cocked her head at her.
"I'm not here to play games, Raven. I already know what your like, I didn't come to be a family again. You're not my family anyway." Yang stated and then Raven turned to look at her daughter.
"Hmm," Raven stated, she turned and motioned for Yang to follow her. Skyler watched them leave and crossed his arms as he looked around the subdued bandit camp.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know it's a short chapter, the next chapter will be somewhat longer. I want to point out that Raven is one of the main villains for the story since Salem isn't the main enemy. The next chapter will be on next Saturday and will show Raven and Yang talking and Skyler and Winter talking. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
