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.
(Haven Academy, Rest and Resolutions.)
Ruby looked up to see Atlesian Dropships and Mantas descending on Haven as she turned to Jaune. She looked at one of the landing mantas.
"I wonder if General Ironwood found out what was happening," Ruby said before the sound of a throat being cleared was heard.
"I was wondering where my little sister ran off too… Guess I know now." Ruby heard as she turned to see Skyler, Winter, and Yang along with 2 Atlesian Soldiers. Yang crossed her arms as Atlesian Soldiers, AK-200s and AP-290s were deployed and walked to set up defenses.
"Yang!" Ruby yelled as Yang and Skyler walked over, Winter looked at Weiss who blinked in shock at the appearance of her older sister.
Yang looked at her shorter little sister, crossing her arms and frowning. Ruby blinked as she could see her older sibling was angry slightly.
"You ran off without telling me or dad where you went…" Yang said, she continued frowning as Skyler leaned on her shoulder.
"Yang, I think we should relax. Ruby, I don't think you know Yang…. Things have changed." Skyler said as he held up his robotic hand before removing his glove from his other hand.
Ruby saw the wedding band before she looked at Yang who had a similar ring on her finger. She smirked at Ruby who was busy gasping in shock.
"I think we should go and talk… We have a lot to talk about… Plus we have to get ready for Merlot." Skyler stated while Ruby ran away to get the others.
"You weren't mad at her, were you?" Skyler asked, squeezing Yang's hand with his, she smirked and leaned on her fiancé.
"I'm a little mad, she did run off and worry me… But I'm just glad she's safe." Yang said, Skyler, smiled and leaned his head against hers.
"I think you should go and talk with her a bit; I'll be fine setting up the army here. She's your sister and I can tell you both want to have a family moment; I'm not going to pull rank and ruin that for you. We can talk when you're done, Firefly." Skyler said as Yang nodded and pecked his lips before walking over to Ruby and the others.
"You think Merlot is attacking Haven next?" Winter asked while Skyler watched the 2 siblings share a hug.
"My Uncle said he's been seeing reports of Huntsmen vanishing and Lionheart hasn't been returning his calls. I think something is going on here and we aren't going to get any answers from him. You don't want to go and talk with Weiss?" Skyler asked, Winter, shook her head.
"We can talk when we are done setting up, I'm going to make sure Lionheart isn't going to spy on our defenses and make sure a frontal assault isn't going to work…" Winter said as she walked away with the 2 Atlesian Soldiers.
"I guess today is going to be a bit crazy of a day…" Skyler said as he turned to look at the floating airships, Vale wouldn't happen again here, he'd make sure of it.
"I guess I have to go and talk to my uncle," Skyler said as he walked towards the gate of the academy and pulled out of his scroll.
He typed in the number and Ironwood appeared on the screen as Skyler leaned on one of the buildings.
"Colonel Azur," Ironwood said with a smile while Skyler chuckled in amusement and looked at the Atlesian General.
"I'm at Haven. I don't know if Ozpin is here, we ran into team RWBY and we're setting up defenses. I haven't seen Merlot or any of his Lieutenants here." Skyler said, Ironwood nodded and put a hand to his chin.
"I'll check with intelligence, have you and Yang settled in yet?" He asked, Skyler, sighed and turned to look at the blonde brawler.
"She has PTSD from Vale; she's blaming herself for what happened to my arm and all the death and destruction in Vale. I… I have a big secret, but I'm going to tell you it when we get back…" Skyler said, hiding his wedding band, he didn't want his uncle to know the bombshell until he and Yang got to Atlas.
"I hope she's ok, Skyler… I can only imagine those types of scars; I've seen people lives ruined by it… You take care of her; she's going to need you just like you're going to need her to fight Merlot." Ironwood said as Skyler nodded.
"I'm going to talk with the others, I'll talk with you aboard Blizzard. I don't trust Lionheart." Skyler said, he folded his scroll and then put it into his pocket.
He walked towards Yang and the others, wondering what was going to be coming down the road.
He'd face it regardless; Vale wouldn't happen again.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know this chapter is short, the next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out the Battle of Haven will be much longer and different from the show. The next chapter will be on next Saturday and will show Yang, Skyler, and the others talking and catching up. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
