Team RWBY sat in the interrogation room of the police station. Ruby and Yang sat on one side of the table, while Blake and Weiss sat on the opposite side. They let the silent fill the room. Until Ruby broke the silence.
"So, how's everyone doing so far?" Ruby asked to try to brighten the mood. "Yang?"
"I feel great, thanks for asking, sis," Yang said in a cheerful tone.
"Weiss?"
"I honestly thought, this could have gone a lot better," Weiss stated as she was tapping her finger on the table. She was staring toward the end of the table.
"Blake?"
"I hate the thought of Roman escaping again…" Blake said in a somewhat depressing tone.
"I say he just got lucky, that's all. If that Blaze guy didn't show up, then we would have capture him," Yang stated.
"Well, what about you?" Ruby asked to the person on the end of the table. Everyone turned their attention towards Asarirn. Asarirn was sitting at the end of the table, staring straight ahead at the door. Asarirn didn't turned his head to acknowledge Ruby, but continued to stare at the door. The only responds Asarirn made was lifting his hands up, showing the handcuff that are on him. Out of all that had happened to Asarirn, he managed to keep his hood in order to hide who he is.
"Well, that's not my fault…" Ruby claimed. Asarirn quickly turned his attention to Ruby. Ruby felt Asarirn casting a deadly glare at her. "Right…It is."
"The question is, who are you?" Weiss asked as she continued to stare at Asarirn. Asarirn returned back staring at the door with no responds.
"Weiss, you should know by now, he's not going to reveal his name to us," Blake stated. "Even the police doesn't know who he is."
"No…" Weiss said. "More importantly, where did you get those Mystical Blades?" Asarirn continued on with no responds.
"Mystical Blades?" Yang questioned.
"The weapons, he was using," Weiss explained.
"Ok, what are those?" Yang continued to ask more questions.
"Mystical Blades are powerful ancient swords, each with its own different type of power. Weiss explained once more. "These blades can transform into any kind of weapons, depending on what the wielder wants. What makes these blade special, there are only ten in total. And he has one of them or two or whatever," Weiss claimed as she pointed at Asarirn. Asarirn said absolutely nothing.
"Wow, that's so awesome," Ruby said in amazement.
"Ruby!"
"Oh, sorry…"
"Anyway, where did you get those?" Weiss asked one more time. Asarirn sat with no responds, again. That made Weiss angry. "Are you not answering because you are ignoring me?!"
"No," Asarirn finally said something at last. "I did not answer because I choose not to."
Weiss was about to say but a door slammed open, interrupting her. Three guys walked into the room. One man wore regular police uniform while the other two wore special armor. The policeman looked at the folder he had in his hand before tossing it onto the table. The folder was marked with "?"
"You know," the police officer started to walk towards Asarirn. He lead on the table towards Asarirn. "People like you, can cause us a whole lot of work to find." Asarirn simply sat there with no responds, like he was ignoring the man talking. That made the police officer angry enough to punch Asarirn in his face. The blow was hard enough to knock Asarirn over his chair, onto the floor.
"What are you doing?!" Blake questioned as she stood up.
"Sit down!" the officer ordered which forced Blake to sit back down onto her seat. The officer turned his attention back on Asarirn. "I dare you to get back up," the officer threated. Asarirn managed to slowly get himself back up. The officer walked up to Asarirn, as he was getting back up, and grabbed him by his coat. "You think you are so good being the strong silent type. Let's take a look under that hood of yours."
"That's quite enough, Chieftain," a man's voice was heard from the door. Everyone in the room turned their attention to the man at the door. Professor Ozpin stood at the doorway, he was accompany by Glynda Goodwitch.
"Professor Ozpin. It's good to see you," Weiss greeted.
"Ozpin," the Chieftain said in an annoyed voice. "You have no business here."
"Well, I'm here because I heard four of my students were here," Ozpin explained as looked toward Team RWBY. He showed a look that he wasn't surprise to see them here. "Besides," Ozpin continued. "I'm here to question the boy here as well."
"Why do you need to question him, Ozpin?"
"Oh, I'm not allowed to reveal that information. I need to ask him some question that should be far more important than yours, Chieftain."
The chieftain looked at Asarirn with a cold glare before letting him go. "Fine, he's all yours to question." The chieftain walked up to the wall and leaned against it.
"I'm going to ask some questions, so take a seat," Ozpin said as he already took a seat across from Asarirn. Asarirn used his foot to kick his seat back up before sitting down.
"Let's start something simple. What is your name," Ozpin asked. No responds from Asarirn.
"Answer the damn question!" the Chieftain barked at Asarirn.
"Please," Ozpin said to calm down the officer. "It feels like we are not trusting each. Doesn't feel that way?"
"Somewhat," Asarirn replied.
"Hmm, very well," Ozpin said. He turned his attention to the Chieftain. "I want you take off his handcuffs."
"You know you are risking his escape, if I were to do that," the Chieftain argued.
"Yes, I'm very aware of that. I believed it's better to have trust first rather than just yelling questions and get nowhere," Ozpin explained.
The Chieftain walked up to Asarirn as he held his hands. The Chieftain freed Asarirn from his bindings. "Don't get any funny ideas."
"So, where are you from?" Ozpin asked to try to get Asarirn's attention. No reply from Asarirn.
"This is a waste of time, Ozpin," the Chieftain claimed. Ozpin gave everyone a quick glace before looking back at Asarirn and then smiled.
"It feels that everyone here are hostile toward you. Don't you agree?"
Asarirn gave a simple nod.
"Very well. I want everyone here to place your weapons on the table, if you mind," Ozpin ordered.
"You are risking everyone's life here," the chieftain claimed.
Everyone started to disarm themselves. Ruby grabbed her Crescent Rose and placed it on the table. Weiss laid down her Myrtenaster. Blake placed down her Gambol Shroud. Yang took off her Ember Celica from her wrist and placed them on the table. The guardsmen placed their rifles onto the table, as well the Chieftain. Both Ozpin and Glynda, finally, placed their weapons on the table. Once, everyone finished disarming themselves, Ozpin looked at Asarirn.
"Well, what about you?"
"You have already took away my blade and my equipment," Asarirn stated as he stood up. "What more can you take away?"
"Ah, But I do believe you possess a couple of special blades and some supplies. How can I trust you, if you don't trust me?"
Asarirn was hesitant to summon his Ice Weavers. He moved his hand over the table and summoned his medical supplies, first, onto the table. Asarirn took a moment to think about his current situation. Everyone waited for him to summon his special weapons. Asarirn summoned his Ice Weaver in both of his hands and stood there for a minute. Everyone felt unease by Asarirn's action and waited. After a minute had passed, he gently placed his blades onto the table. Weiss was amazed to see the blades up close, but can't tell whether or not these are the real thing.
The moment Asarirn placed his weapons on the table, the Chieftain nodded at the two guardsmen. The three walked up to the table and started to confiscate Asarirn's items. The Chieftain grabbed Asarirn's bag, while the other two proceeded to grab his weapons.
Asarirn saw the two guardsmen proceeded to take his blades. Asarirn held out his hand for his blades but Ozpin interrupted him. "If you are willing to trust us, you are willing to disarm yourself to gain that trust."
Asarirn had no choice but to allow the guardsmen to take his weapons. He watched the first guardsman grabbed his weapon by the blade. Then the second guardsman quickly grabbed the second blade by the handle.
Everyone watched as the blade shattered, leaving only the handle. Weiss knew for sure that the blade was real. The guardsman stood there in shock and no idea what to do until Asarirn snapped his fingers to get his attention.
The guardsman watched as Asarirn held out his hand. The guardsman slowly give back Asarirn the handle back. As Asarirn claimed back his handle, he swung the handle. The blade was reformed in front of every eyes. Asarirn held the blade to the guardsman," Hold it by the blade." The guardsman grabbed by the blade and stood by the wall.
"I see, you are started to trust," Ozpin claimed. Asarirn didn't say anything as he sat back in his chair. "So, what do you call yourself?"
Asarirn took a moment before answering, "Arranis Shadow."
"Is Arranis is what you called yourself?"
Asarirn didn't give a responds at first but after a moment, he give a simple nod. Ozpin gave a smile by Asarirn's responds. Asarirn doesn't like the way Ozpin smiled. It felt like he knew he was lying about his name.
"So, where are you from, Arranis?" Ozpin continued on with the questions.
Like I could say, I'm from another world, Asarirn thought to himself. He thought about the whole kingdom of Vale and tried to make his origin unknown. He reached an answer, "I'm from outside of the kingdom."
The looked on everyone faces told Asarirn that they weren't expected that kind of answer.
"Where outside of the wall, were you from?"
Now, Asarirn had determined that outside of these walls are dangerous. "I traveled a lot," Asarirn claimed. "I never stayed in one location."
"Yes, the Grimm can always prevent for one to have a permanent place to live."
Grimm is that what the creatures are called? Asarirn thought about it.
"You know, Arranis," Ozpin started to speak, once more. "Do you feel this is just me asking question and not having a actual conversation?"
Asarirn could not figure out what Ozpin was planning but only nod in agreement.
"Ok, then." Ozpin turned his attention to the Chieftain. "I want this boy and his items to be release into my custody."
Everyone was surprised by Ozpin's decision even Asarirn was surprised by his decision. Glynda walked up to ask.
"What do you want with the boy?"
"I believe this isn't the place to hold our conversation. So, the best place to continue our conversation would by my office."
"Ozpin you can't be serious about taking this boy with you," the Chieftain said.
"Oh, believe me. I am serious."
"Very well, we will release him into your custody. But, you must use extreme cautious when dealing with this boy."
"Oh, I believe this boy is harmless," Ozpin stated. "Is that right, Arranis?" Asarirn only responded with a nod. "Very well, let's go everyone." Everyone started to leave the room. The Chieftain watched Asarirn left the room while Glynda gathered Asarirn's things.
Everyone boarded the airship. During the ride, Asarirn looked at out of the window and watched the city as they flew by. The ship was rather large, enough that he could distance himself from the rest of the group. He could tell the rest were having conversation about him. But, he didn't care. What he cared most, right now, was what Ozpin wants from him? He continued to ponder about it for the duration of the ride to Beacon. What does this guy want from me? Does he know I was lying about the whole thing? I guess I will soon find out.
Author's note: It felt weird, not being about to upload yesterday. The fact, still remained, how I should plan my chapters. I could still do the daily uploads but you have to expect shorter chapters. If you want longer chapters, then it would probably take me about 2-3 days. People should PM me to let me know how I should approach this. If no one does, then I would just do whatever I want. This would cause a messed up schedule. Well, Thanks for reading.
