Chapter 5: Players and Pieces
In the skies above the Emerald forest Ruby and Weiss were still clinging for dear life onto the giant nevermore soaring across the skies in a attempt to get to the temple. "RUBY I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA" Weiss yelled to her partner from the wind force blowing at mach speeds.
"WE'RE FINE, STOP WORRYING" Ruby yelled back.
"OH I AM SO FAR FROM WORRYING" Weiss yelled.
"IN A GOOD WAY?" Ruby yelled back
"IN A BAD WAY, IN A VERY BAD WAY" Weiss yelled angrily.
"WELL WHY DON'T WE JUST JUMP" Ruby suggested.
"WHAT ARE YOU, INSANE?" Weiss said questioning her partner, but got no answer because Ruby already had let go, "OH YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE RED-" Weiss screamed.
On the ground at a small, open ancient temple stood pedestals with black and gold chess pieces, some have already been taken standing outside the temple were Blake and Yang, wondering where a mysterious noise came from. "Blake did you hear that what should we" Yang asked but was interrupted by Blake pointing up,
Yang looked up and saw her sister falling from the sky "HEADS UUUUUUUUPPPPPPP" Ruby screamed, but before she hit the ground Jaune came flying from some unknown direction and slammed into Ruby stopping her fall and landing them in a nearby tree. Ruby head was spinning from the impact, "what was that?" she said a little bit concussed. Someone cleared their throat see regained her composure and looed up to see Jaune hanging upside down from a branch
"Hey Ruby" Jaune said.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked.
"I" Yang said before they heard bickering from up above
"He's flying too low," Leonidas said.
"And I say he's not flying low enough" Francesca argued.
"GUYS, I have been flying longer than you have so I appreciate you guys not being backseat fliers" Iskandar shot back at the two. "Besides I think I see the temple from here" he said as he glided the four down to the ground. When they got down Leonidas and Francesca let go, but Naomi kept clinging on his back. "Naomi you can get off my back now" Iskandar said.
"But you are so warm, like a scaly fireplace" Naomi said which caused Iskandar to roll his eyes.
"Iskandar" Yang yelled as she ran towards the dragon faunus.
"Yang" Iskandar said with a smile "So I assume you already have a partner?" He asked.
"Yeah" She said as she pointed to Blake who stared angrily at him
"Hey Blake" Iskandar said nervously smiling at her.
"Oh I sense tension, so what is she an ex-girlfriend," Naomi said.
"No, Naomi she isn't, it's complicated" Iskandar said. Yang and Blake were looking at him with a confused look, "She's an good person once you get to know her" Iskandar said.
"Oh I know of a way we can get to know each other," Naomi said with a mischievous grin winking at both Yang and Blake.
"Naomi, Now is not the time" Iskandar said a bit annoyed as he pried her of his back and put her back on the ground.
"Well this is the second weirdest thing I've seen today," Leonidas said.
"Second what's the first?" Francesca said Leonidas then pointed, everyone turned their heads to see Nora Valkyrie dancing with a gold rook piece on her head.
"I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle" Nora sung.
"NORA" Ren yelled getting her attention from a distance.
"Coming Ren" Nora said
"Did that girl come riding in on a ursa?" Blake asked.
They then heard screeching to see Pyrrha running out of the woods following her was a death stalker that burst out of the tree line. It swiped at her with its right claw but Pyrrha jumped and dodged it. "Jaune" she yelled showing more concern for the blonde haired boy rather than the giant scorpion grimm right on her tail.
"Pyrrha" Jaune said showing concern for his red haired amazon teammate.
"Whoa" Ruby said as she jumped out of the tree
"Ruby" Jaune said, as he was afraid of being left alone.
Ruby landed near Yang and the rest of the group "Ruby" Yang said excitedly.
"Yang" Ruby said trying to hug her sister
"Nora" Nora said popping between the sisters.
"Did she run all the way here with a death stalker on her tail" Blake said looking at Pyrrha run from the scorpion grimm
Yang growled and her aura exploded around her "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, Can everyone chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens" Yang yelled. Everyone stayed quiet and Ren rejoined his teammate.
"Um Yang" Ruby pointed up to the giant nevermore above where Weiss was barely hanging on by the grimm's talon.
"How could you leave me?!" Weiss yelled.
"I said 'jump'" Ruby said.
"She's gonna fall" Blake said.
"No doubt" Leonidas said.
"She'll be fine" Ruby said.
"She's falling" Ren added as they saw the Ice princess fall to them
"Don't worry I'll go get" Iskandar said before they felt the earth tremble.
"Wasn't Me," Francesca said. They all heard a roar, which was incredibly familiar to Iskandar and his new friends, knocking down the mighty forest trees. Standing on a fallen oak was the hydravoc Iskandar face before however it now has four heads instead of two.
"I thought that thing was dead?" Naomi yelled in disbelief.
"We dropped a cave on him it was kind of assumed" Francesca yelled back.
"Well this is an unsettling development" Iskandar said.
"Yeah and, oh damn, we forgot about Schnee" Leonidas turned to see Weiss sitting on Jaune's back, "Oh never mind that blonde doofus has got her" he said.
"Yeah, now all we have to deal with now if the giant immortal lizard" Iskandar said.
Pyrrha landed in front of the teams "Great the gang's all here now we can die together" Yang said.
Iskandar got a serious look in his eyes "Don't worry, no one is dying here while I'm still standing," Iskandar said drawing his weapons.
"Couldn't agree more" Ruby said as she rushed towards the death stalker
"RUBY WAIT" Yang yelled with concern for her sister.
"I NEVER SAID ATTACK HEAD ON" Iskandar said knowing this situation wasn't going to end well.
Ruby shot her self-forward with her crescent rose ready to strike the approaching death stalker. She was about to strike the giant scorpion but the death stalker blocked with its claw, knocking her to the ground.
"D-Do-Don't worry totally fine" Ruby stuttered she said to her friends, she turned around to see the death stalker in front of her, she fires a shot at it but is does little to no effect, she then reconsiders as she transforms crescent rose into its inactive state and starts running away from the scorpion grimm.
"RUBY" Yang said as she started running towards her sister, the giant nevermore flying above them flapped its wings throwing it's quill like fathers to the ground, one of them snagging on Ruby's cape preventing her escape as well as block Yang's path to her sister. "Ruby get out of there" she yelled concerned for her sister, she didn't even noticed the hydravoc entering the fray, approaching Yang.
"I'm trying" Ruby said pulling on her cape.
"YANG LOOK OUT" Blake yelled, Yang turned her head to the left to see the Hydravoc incredibly merely ten feet away from her, all four mouths began to glow orange. "NO" Blake said but then felt the heat in the air rise as a huge fireball rocketed towards Yang between her and the hydra grimm. The hydravoc breathed fire upon the golden haired huntress concealing her in flames a state of shock were plastered on Blake, Nora, Ren, Naomi, Leonidas and Francesca's faces, the hydravoc stopped it's attack but saw that a shield which looked like red and black dragon wings, the wings moved to show that Iskandar holding Yang in his arms both of them were unharmed. Iskandar having a furious look on his face.
"How are they still alive? I mean I'm happy, but how?" Naomi said flabbergasted.
"Iskandar must have shielded Yang, dragon faunus do have an immunity to fire" Blake said.
Iskandar then let go of Yang and walked in front of the Hydravoc,
"Yang care to assist" Iskandar said. He set his hands ablaze his mouth was breathed ashes he created streams of fire from his hands and mouth to burn the Hydravoc as it screeched in pain.
Yang swung her fists firing shells from her ember celica each one separating the heads from the necks "COME! GET! SOME!" Yang screamed as she fired each shot.
Iskandar pulled out his Draco Balrog, pulled the trigger and made it split apart into its rail gun mode "Let's see you regenerate from this you four headed freak" Iskandar said as electricity formed between the two blades as a huge dust projectile was launched from it, the projectile shot through the hydravoc's body separating the legs from the beast's torso, the projectile kept flying until it hit the forest trees causing a massive fiery explosion to erupt causing everyone to shield their eyes.
Yinsen, Silver, Silva and Grey looked in the direction of the explosion, they were curious on who would have such destructive firepower.
"Wasn't Me," Silver said.
"Of course not...let's go, that might be where were suppose to go" Yinsen said.
"Okay boss" Grey said as they ran in the direction of the explosion.
"Dear god, that faunus has been carrying around that kind of firepower" Leonidas said in awe.
'That look on his face, he only had that look when someone would hurt Griffin' Blake thought.
"You grimm may be considered the darkness of remnant, but me I'm the devil himself" Iskandar said to the corpse. He then turned to the blonde brawler "Yang, I understand you're need to assist your sister but if you keep rushing in recklessly head first into danger, you won't be able to save her" he said.
"You're right, thanks Izzy" Yang said impressed, but was short lived as she remembered her sister in danger, "OH GOD RUBY" She looked to see the death stalker's tail frozen in ice. Weiss was standing in front of Ruby who was still sitting on the ground.
"You are so childish," Weiss said.
"Weiss?" She said confused as to why she would help her.
"And dimwitted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style" Weiss said harshly, "and I suppose I can be a bit… difficult, but if we're going to do this we're going to have to do this together, so if you quit trying to show off, I'll be nicer " Weiss said a little more sympathetic.
"I'm not trying to show off, I want you to know I can do this" Ruby said
"You're fine" Weiss said as she walked off
"Normal knees" Ruby whispered to herself as she got up
Iskandar looked to Weiss "Yo Schnee" Iskandar said getting her attention "You're alright, it was a nice thing you said to Ruby," he said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you" Weiss said feeling weird that a faunus complemented her.
They then turned to see Yang hugging Ruby, "I'm so happy you're okay" Yang said relieved they looked up to see the Nevermore still flying above them. Iskandar looked at the Hydravoc's corpse and saw the orange gem glow and the beast's lower half start to regenerate.
"We need to move, now" Iskandar said as the four ran back to the group
"Guys that thing is circling back" Jaune said.
"And the freaky mutant lizard is regenerating, again" Francesca said.
"Look there is no sense in dilly dallying, our objective is right in front of us," Weiss said referring to the chess pieces.
"She's right our objective is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs, there's no point in fighting these things" Ruby said.
"Agreed, however I know facing them head on would be a poor choice, but I can at least buy us some time" Iskandar said as he held out his hands and created streams of fire to set the grass ablaze separating them from the death stalker and hydravoc. "This won't hold them long if we have to move we need to do it now" Iskandar said.
"Run and live that is a plan I can get behind" Jaune said
"Hey Izzy" Naomi yelled as she threw him a gold king piece.
"Much oblige" Iskandar said.
Leonidas grabbed another golden king piece as Jaune grabbed a gold rook and Ruby a knight "we should depart immediately" he said.
"Okay let's go people, vamonos" Francesca said as the twelve students started running for the cliffs. Yang stood still and looked at both her little sister who she was so proud of, and Iskandar who she was thankful for saving her life.
"What is it?" Blake asked.
"Nothing" Yang said before she began to run like everyone else to the cliffs, they saw some ruins and a bridge with a tower that connected one side of the cliffs to the other side of the chasm. The students hide behind temple walls, the nevermore flew down and perched itself on the bridge's tower and screeched.
"Well that's great" Yang said.
They heard more screeching as they saw the hydravoc now with eight heads and the death stalker rushing towards them. "Well wall of fire didn't work" Naomi said.
"Yes Naomi I can see that, anyway I know that thing's weakness, the gem on its chest is how it can regenerate, we take it out that son of a bitch dies" Iskandar said.
"Yeah but that thing is super protective of that thing how do we get to it" Francesca said.
"We can if we work together, but we got to trust one another" Iskandar said all three of them looking at Leonidas.
"What did you have in mind?" Leonidas said.
"Okay, Naomi I need you to distract that thing and drive it away from the others, Francesca restrict it's movements, Leonidas blind it so it doesn't see me coming" Iskandar said.
"It shall be done" Leonidas said.
"I got your incredibly sexy back man" Naomi said.
"Oh yeah final boss baby" Francesca said.
"Okay move out" Iskandar said as he flew up into the sky,
Naomi ran up to the Hydravoc and screamed a sonic blast "Hey remember me you scaly bastard" Naomi said the Hydravoc hissed at Naomi, Naomi then started running away from the ruins, the hydravoc fired a stream of fire from one of its mouths Naomi countered by firing a stream of water extinguishing the flames, Francesca ran toward the fight jumped and slammed her fist on the ground. The lower half of the hydravoc's body held on to the edge so it restricting its movements, Leonidas was perched on a tree branch, he drew back his bow and fired an arrow at the hydravoc it exploded on impact but concealed three of the heads in rubber cement, Leonidas then fired another arrow at the hydra grimm covering another three heads in ice. The hydravoc sees Leonidas and spit fire at him, Leonidas teleported away and reappeared next to Francesca and Naomi.
"Where's Iskandar" Leonidas said.
"I don't know, he's suppose to finish this thing off," Francesca said.
"Hey is the sun suppose to be that close" Naomi said looking at the sky, Leonidas and Francesca looked up to see a huge fireball and heard yelling inside the inferno was Iskandar with his arms crossed ready to strike with both swords, the three huntsmen smiled at the dragon faunus and their trust was not misplaced.
"RRRAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH" Iskandar roared as he dove down at great velocity the Hydravoc looked up tried to retreat but couldn't, when Iskandar was directly in front of the gem, he slashed Balrog and Raphael against it with great force, the flames that covered him spread to the hydravoc with its gem cracked, with another roar he broke through the gem with a cross slash the hydravoc shrieked as it disintegrated into nothing, the attack resulted in an explosion which resulted part of the cliff the hydra grimm was on to fall into the chasm.
"ISKANDAR" Francesca yelled as his teammates were worried, before they could assume the worse, a figure flew up and landed beside them, Iskandar was unharmed aside from a few bruises. His friends breathed a sigh of relief.
"I must admit that gem was tougher to crack then I initially thought, no matter for today we are victorious," Iskandar said.
"Well said" Leonidas.
"Couldn't agree more" Francesca said.
"Yeah, we did it, group hug in the shower tonight" Naomi said with joy, everyone was looking at her with a confounded look on their faces. "Or not" Naomi said trying to fix the awkward situation.
"I wonder how our friends are doing" Iskandar said as he turned his head to gaze at the other battles.
Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Weiss were firing at the nevermore on top of the bridge's tower, a few shots hit it but is completely unfazed as it crashes in the tower. The rubble fell to the ground, Blake used the rubble to jump her way back onto the bridge, Yang fired shots from her ember celica to propel her through the air while Ruby did the same with her crescent rose, Weiss jumped from debris to form one of her glyphs under her feel and jumped from it like a stepping stone. As the four got back on the bridge the four looked at the nevermore, "None of this is working" Weiss said disdainfully.
Ruby looked around and saw Blake she then turned her head and saw Yang firing shots from her ember celica on top of a broken pillar. "I have an idea, cover me," Ruby said.
The death stalker moved it's stinger making the broken bridge Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren were on begin to crumble, "We got to move" Jaune ordered, the four of them charged the scorpion grimm, the death stalker tried to strike them with it's right claw but Pyrrha blocked it with her shield and countered with a slash from her spear. The death stalker tried to strike Pyrrha with its left claw but Jaune blocked with his shield and Pyrrha jumped and thrusted her spear against the other claw. Ren ran down the middle firing his automatic pistol blades 'stormflower' at the scorpion, the beast tried thrusted its stinger, Ren dodged and hanged onto the stinger as it was pulled back. Ren shot the stinger's connection to the tail from behind. Nora entered the fray transforming her hammer 'magnhild' into its grenade launcher mode and fired a couple of dust grenades at the death stalker, which blocked with its claws forcing Jaune and Pyrrha back. Pyrrha then threw her spear at an opening striking the grimm in the eye, it screeched and thrashed around shaking off Ren flinging him into a ruin wall.
"Ren" Nora cried out for her best friend.
Jaune saw the stinger's connection to the tail was weak and was the perfect place to strike, "Pyrrha" Jaune said.
"Done" Pyrrha responded as she threw her shield severing the stinger making it stab the death stalker's neck before bouncing off the tail and returning to Pyrrha.
"Nora nail it" Jaune said.
"Heads up" Nora signaled to Pyrrha with her hammer, she jumped and collided her hammer with the shield, pulled a trigger causing the face of her hammer to emit a small pink explosion launching her upward. Nora giggled while ridding her hammer, she then pointed upward pulled the trigger and launched her towards the death stalker, she slammed her hammer into the stinger poking out of the grimm's back, the force of the attack catapulted Jaune and Pyrrha, the latter grabbing her spear which was dislodged from the scorpion grimm's head. Nora then pulled the trigger launching her again and causing the death stalker to fall into the ravine. Jaune and Nora fell on their back and rear while Pyrrha landed gracefully on her knees, Ren walked up to them before collapsing on his face from exhaustion.
Iskandar and the others arrived on the scene, as well as Yinsen, Silver, Silva and Grey finally catching up to them.
"Hey guys you okay," Iskandar said.
"Hey Yinsen wasn't that the death stalker you told me to let go" Silver said.
"Wait what" Jaune said as he got up.
Iskandar was watching Yang throw her punches trying to shoot the nevermore down with shotgun blasts, she cocked her gauntlets and fired another shot that hit the giant raven grimm in it's face. Provoked the nevermore turned around and attack Yang. She jumped into the beak preventing it from closing with one arm. Yang then used her free arm to fire five shotgun blasts down the flying grimm's throat "I! HOPE! YOU'RE! HUNGRY!" she yelled as she fired.
"She's firing point blank into a nevermore's mouth, a bold move, I like her style" Iskandar said.
"Should we help them?" Leonidas asked.
"Nah I think they have got it from here" Iskandar responded.
Yang turned her head and saw the cliffs the nevermore was about to slam into she jumped out of the beast's mouth and landed safely on the bridge as the nevermore slammed into the cliff wall and fell onto the Cliffside ruins. The nevermore got up and screeched, Yang saw Weiss thrusting towards the nevermore and tagged out, jumping to Blake and Ruby near two pillars. The nevermore tried to fly up but Weiss froze the raven grimm's tail to the ruins, grounding the flying beast. Weiss, completing her job used her glyph to jump back to her allies.
Blake standing on one of the pillars threw her gamble shroud still holding onto the ribbon attached to the weapon at Yang who was on the other pillar. The golden haired brawler grabbed the weapon's handle. Both girls move down the pillars and pulled on the ribbon straightening it, Ruby then launched herself having the blunt edge of crescent rose land on the ribbon, Weiss then used one of her glyphs it turned from white to black and pulled Ruby towards her. Ruby was intending to slingshot herself towards the nevermore. "Of course you would come up with this idea?" Weiss said.
"Think you you make the shot?" Ruby asked.
"Hmph can I" Weiss said confidently.
"Can you?" Ruby said turning her head unsure
"Of course I can!" Weiss yelled offended. Ruby looked at the nevermore with determined eyes she emptied crescent rose's chamber of a used round before Weiss swung her sword and her glyph turned red and launched ruby with a trail of rose petals behind her, she flew towards the nevermore, slamming crescent rose's blade into the raven grimm's neck forcing it to the wall of the cliff. Weiss summoned her glyphs under Ruby's feet and up the wall of the cliff.
"Oh yeah finishing move" Francesca said.
"Do it Ruby" Iskandar yelled encouragement
Ruby then began to run vertically up the cliffs thanks to Weiss' assistance, dragging the nevermore, yelling at the top of her lungs firing a couple of shots from her weapon, She got to the top of the cliff and sliced the nevermore's head clean off.
"Wow" Jaune said as everyone looked at Ruby with awe as the headless nevermore corpse fell into the chasm below.
Yang looked to her teammates "Well that was a thing" she said.
"I got say this kid's got skill, a shame I can't recruit her" Yinsen said to himself.
Iskandar smiled at the four girls on the other side "Those girls are going to go far, I better do my best just to keep up" Iskandar said.
A couple hours later back at the amphitheatre, Ozpin was on stage announcing the new teams, four boys were on the stage with him a brown haired young man wearing grey armour with a golden bird on the chest plate, a boy wearing dark green with a light green mohawk, a golden brown haired young man wearing brown armour and a bluish gray armour wearing boy with dark blue hair. "Russell Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark, the four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces, from this day forward you will be known as team CRDL (Cardinal) lead by Cardin Winchester" Ozpin said as the four boys faces were on the screen announcing their team name, Silver growled at Cardin. The rest of the students looked at the stage waiting for there turn
"You did great today Izzy, although I guess we won't be in the same team huh" Yang said.
"I don't mind, it doesn't mean we can still hang out with each other right," Iskandar said
"Right and again thanks for saving me back there" Yang said with a smile
"Hey we're going dancing on Friday, can't have you injured can we" Iskandar smiled back and looked back to the stage to see the next group.
Next was a group of four boys. A boy with Black bowl cut like hairstyle, grey striped undershirt shirt and black button up shirt and pants.
The second one had black hair with white frosted tips, he had a red sleeveless shirt, white pants and black boots,
The third member had gray and black full body armour with a gray helmet with a black visor visor that covered his entire face he also wore brown boots .
The last member had green hair orange visor a cocky smirk and a navy blue jacket with four red stripes on the side "Peter Devert, Richthofen Blutfur, Senji Galicia-Feldgrau and Noriaki Hisui, you retrieved the white bishop pieces from this day forward you will be Team PRSN led by Peter Devert, congratulations" Ozpin said.
"Thank you sir" Peter said
"Well guess we're up Iskandar said getting up and walking to the stage with his team.
"Now Iskandar Drakon, Naomi Siren, Francesca Merdez and Leonidas Orion, you four obtained the white king pieces from this day forward you will be known as team DMON (Demon), Led by Iskandar Drakon, congratulations young man" Ozpin said with a smile
"Thank you sir" Iskandar responded.
"Well guess we'll be following your lead, oh sexy leader," Naomi said.
"Perversion aside, I'd be more than happy to follow your lead" Francesca said with a smile
Leonidas paused for a minute "This isn't the kind of team I was hoping for, but I believe I can adjust" Leonidas said which caused Francesca to roll her eyes.
As team DMON left the stage Yinsen, Silver, Silva and Grey then made their way onto the stage. "Yinsen Carnation, Silva Redfox, Silver Redfox and Grey Thunder, you four obtained the black queen pieces from this day forward you will be known as team CRST (Crystal) led by Yinsen Carnation, congratulations" Ozpin said with a smile.
Yinsen looked at his teammates as they pat him on the back, Silva blushed shyly "You earned it, Yinsen" Silva said shyly.
"You know what you're all right Yinsen" Silver said.
"If you ever need help in a fight or with the ladies, I'll be your wingman" Grey said wrapping his arm around his neck.
'These guys may not be ideal...but they got potential' Yinsen thought, "Thanks, I look forward to working with you all" He said with a smile.
"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie, the four of you retrieved the white rook pieces from this day forward you will work together as team JNPR (Juniper) "Ozpin said Nora giving a hug to Ren in the heat of the moment. "Led by Jaune Arc" Ozpin continued.
"Huh, lead by?" Jaune said confused.
"Congratulations young man" Ozpin said with a smile, Pyrrha playfully punched his shoulder but Jaune fell down from the hit.
"Finally Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long you retrieved the white knight pieces from this day forward you will work together as, team RWBY (Ruby), lead by Ruby Rose" Ozpin said. Iskandar smiled as the entire hall roared in applause as he and his team clapped as well.
Yang hugged her sister "I'm so proud of you" Yang said with joy.
"This is shaping to be an interesting year," Ozpin said.
Iskandar took a glimpse from the hugging sisters to Blake knowing what he had to do.
On the roof of Beacon academy, Blake waited patiently, she sighed as she saw Iskandar flew up and landed besides her "We need to talk" he said. Blake reached for her weapon, "I'm unarmed," he said.
"You and I both know the kind of damage you can do armed or unarmed," Blake said.
"Look I didn't come here to fight, I just came to talk" Iskandar said.
"Fine, I'll talk first tell Adam I want nothing to do with the white fang anymore" Blake said spitefully.
"You can tell him yourself and frankly I want nothing to do with him either" Iskandar said.
"Really you're the white fang's demonic knight their top assassin, leader of the black op group 'the predators', am I seriously suppose to believe someone like you would give all that up in a instance" Blake said.
"Actually I've been thought about it for a long time, and honestly you leaving was the conviction I needed, although the thing that made me stay was Griffin, the only reason I killed was so that he didn't have to, although sometimes I was too late" Iskandar said.
"Is it true that Griffin died?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, Adam betrayed me, Griffin and the other predators didn't survive I am the only one left, I held my baby brother in my arms, and that was where he died" Iskandar said sorrowfully tears streaming down her cheeks.
Blake covered her mouth "I am so sorry" she said.
"It is fine, I know this sob story won't win your trust back, I know it doesn't change what I was, who I am, but please know I am trying to become a better man" Iskandar said.
"Well you saving Yang was a good start" Blake said.
"Yeah well she's a nice girl and honestly she's been nice to me thought it would be best to repay that kindness, also we have plans to go dancing on Friday" Iskandar smiled. "I honestly haven't been happy since when you, me and Griffin use to play as kids" he continued.
What the dragon faunus said struck a cord with her "I'm surprised you even remembered that" she said.
Iskandar walked to the edge of the roof and spread his wings "It was actually one of the few things that kept me going, look you may not consider me a friend anymore, but I never stopped considering you one, oh and don't worry I'll keep your secret" Iskandar said pointing to her bow "But still I hope one day you open up to them and show the true you, cause I'm sure they would love and cherish that you like I do" he said then flapped his wings and took of into the sky back to his dorm. Blake watched the dragon faunus fly off with a smile on her face.
