Hero: A RWBY AU Story
Chapter 3
UNDERGROUND TUNNEL
Glowing amber eyes are only seen in the dark tunnel, as it moves. Then, a glowing orange patter appears. And as soon as the light hits, Cinder Fall smiles and stops. She begins looking around, eyeing on the White Fang soldiers, who are storing crates into a train car.
Cinder then walk towards the man, with the orange hair and bowler hat. He is yelling at a couple White Fang members, who are carrying a crate.
"No, no, no!" Roman Torchwick. "Store that box over there." He points to a part of the train. "Not here."
The Faunus groan and move away. Torchwich angrily sighs, and turns to see Cinder approaching him. "How can you work for these animals? They can't even follow simple instructions."
"Oh, Roman." Cinder said. "Don't be angry. A lot of them aren't exactly smart enough to listen to a human. They prefer to listen to Taurus."
"Speaking of which...where is that Bull, anyways?" Roman asked.
Cinder shrugs. "Adam always tends to dissapear, from time to time. Now, then. How is the shipment going?"
"Almost done." Torchwick answered. "Although, this could've been done sooner..." He turns his head. "...HAD YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO WHAT I SAID!"
The White Fang members look at Torchwick, before they get back to what they were.
"Be patient, Roman." Cinder said.
"How can I?" Torchwick angrily asked. "We are fugitives of the law, now. Every city is looking for us. And we are forced to hide underground. And this plan of yours. To wait...it's not certainly working for me."
Cinder then suddenly grabs Torchwick by the throat and pulls him closer.
"You may not like it, Roman." Cinder said. "Believe me. I don't like, either. But, until she gives us the word...we stay hidden. Is that clear?"
All Torchwick can do, is grunt. Cinder then releases her grip, and Torchwick stands up.
"Good. And don't worry, Roman. Once we are ready, we'll do what we can, to hurt many people. I, myself, want to find the man, who exposed me, and ruined our grand scheme. And when I do...let's just say, he'll be unrecognizable, when I'm done with him."
Cinder's eyes then glow bright.
BEACON - LANDING PAD
"I'm already hating this!" Yang exclaims.
"We haven't even left Beacon, Yang." Blake said. "And you're already complaining?"
Blake and Yang are standing near the landing pad, patiently waiting for the rest of their team.
"I'm only complaining, because Ruby and Weiss aren't even here." Yang said.
"Just be patient." Blake said. "They'll be here."
"They better." Yang said. "I just want this day, to go fast."
RWBY DORM ROOM
Ruby groans in annoyance, waiting for Weiss to leave the bathroom.
"Weiss!" She exclaims. "How much longer, are you going to be in there?"
"Relax, you dolt!"
The bathroom door opens, and Weiss, wearing casual clothing, exits and ties her hair back into her ponytail. Weiss notices that Ruby was staring at her, in awe.
"Uh...Ruby?"
Ruby suddenly comes back into reality, and quickly stands up.
"Sorry, Weiss. Zoned out, for a bit. So, can we get your little shopping spree started?"
"Indeed." Weiss said.
"Um...before we go...can I ask, why you wanted me to stay with you, and have Yang and Blake wait in the landing pad?" Ruby asked.
"Simple, really." Weiss answered. "Because you were the one to instigate the three of you abandoning me...you will, for the duration of the trip, be by my side, at all times. So, that means, wherever I go, you go with me. So, if there's a weapons shop that you want to go to, I will be saying no."
"But, Weiss-"
"No buts, Ruby." Weiss interrupts. "This is final."
Ruby pouts and crosses her harms. "I'm supposed to be your leader, Weiss."
"And you still are. But, for the next couple hours, I will lead this team. Unless, you want to roam around campus, in just your underwear."
Ruby nervously gulps, and just nods.
"Good. Now, follow me."
COURTYARD
Qrow walks around, drinking from his flask, and mumbling about the smell.
"Was monkey boy here, or something?" He asked himself.
"Oh, he was, Qrow."
Qrow turns around, to see the white-haired woman, in a military uniform.
"And I tell you this." Winter Schnee said. "He was quite flexible."
"Heh." Qrow said. "Didn't think, I'd be seeing you back here, Ice Queen."
Winter groans at the nickname, and just sighs. "General Ironwood personally asked me to accompany him. Plus, I get to check on my sister, since she's decided to stay here, for the Winter break."
"Really?" Qrow said, his eyebrows raised. "Huh. Then perhaps, she has a chance with her."
Winter looks confused. "I'm sorry?"
Qrow smiles and just tilts his head. "Well, it seems that one of my nieces has taken a liking to your sister."
Winter is now surprised at hearing this. "Care to repeat that? Who, exactly, is interested in my sister? It's not the blonde one. Is it?"
"Of course not." Qrow answered. "Those two wouldn't last a week, together. I'm talking about Ruby."
"Figured that out, as soon as you said no, on the blonde." Winter said. "But, Miss Rose? I cannot believe this. She's just a child."
"She's nearing 16, Winter." Qrow said. "And trust me, when I say this. She's more mature, than you'd think."
"...What do you mean?"
Qrow drinks from his flask, and puts it away, sighing.
"In addition to losing her mother, years ago...Ruby went through another tragedy, that helped her grow up, a little. She was heartbroken, but determined to better herself, after it happened. She may act childish, most of the time, Winter. But...she is more mature, than even Yang."
"And what does this have to do, with her liking Weiss." Winter asked.
"I'm getting there." Qrow said. "Ruby came to me, a few weeks ago...telling me, about her feelings for your sister. She wants to try to let her feelings out for her. But, at the same time...she's afraid."
Winter is confused again. "Afraid of what? Rejection?"
"No. The tragedy I mentioned. Ruby is afraid, that'll happen to Weiss, as well. Ruby's stuck in an emotional tug-of-war, trying to decide whether or not, to tell Weiss, her feelings."
"That is...unfortunate, Qrow." Winter said. "Why are you telling me, this?"
"Because, I care about my niece. And you care for your sister. If, by chance, they do end up together...no doubt, they'll tell us about it. I, myself, will accept it. But, you? Would you accept it?"
"To be honest, Qrow...I don't know." Winter answered. "In fact...I'm not even sure, whether or not, Weiss is into girls, or boys, or maybe both."
"Well, perhaps you could ask her. I just saw her pass by, a minute ago?"
"What?" Winter exclaims.
"Yep." Qrow said, smiling. "Best you hurry. She and her team, are heading to Vale."
"I will do that. Got some things to talk to her about, anyways." Winter said.
She turns and walks away, leaving Qrow to find a bench, and just lie down on it.
LANDING PAD
Yang lies down on the ground, while Blake simply reads a book.
"That's it!" Yang yells, standing up. "If Weiss is not here, in the next five minutes, I'm gonna-"
"Do what, Miss Xiao Long?"
Yang quickly turns to see Winter walking towards her.
"Would you like to finish that threat towards my sister...or are you just going to freeze right there?"
"Sister?" Blake asked, while standing up. "So, that means...your Winter. Right?"
Winter nods. "You are correct, Miss Belladonna. It is nice to meet the both of you. Weiss has told me, a lot about you. Especially you, Miss Xiao Long. A lot, actually."
"Oh, really?" Yang said. "What? Does she have a crush on me, or something?"
"I don't think, Weiss will ever want to date someone, who will annoy her every day." Winter said.
"Eh. Her loss."
Winter then acts like she senses something, and quickly turns around to see a surprised Weiss, fast walking towards her. Behind Weiss, is Ruby. Weiss finally stops near Winter, while Ruby joins Yang and Blake.
"Well, well." Winter said, smiling. "It appears I arrived on time."
"Winter." Weiss said. "I wasn't aware, you were here, at Beacon."
"Last minute." Winters said. "Ironwood insisted, that I come along. I think, he just wanted me to come visit you. It has been a while, since we've last spoken. How are you, Weiss?"
"I am doing fine." Weiss said. "My team and I are about to leave for Vale."
"Not by choice." Yang said, crossing her arms.
Winter raises her eyebrow, and looks at Weiss.
"Let me guess. Revenge?"
"You read my mind." Weiss answers.
"And did you use the 'no clothes' threat?" Winter said.
Weiss just nods, and Winter chuckles. "Works every time, I guess."
Winter makes sure no one, but the two of them, is near them.
"So, Weiss. Be honest with me, here. Have you been seeing anyone, lately?"
Weiss is surprised at this question. "Um...why do you ask?"
"Just a hunch." Winter answered. "So, just tell me. Have you shown interest in a boy? Or...perhaps a girl, maybe?"
"Winter!" Weiss exclaims, blushing.
Gotcha. Winter thinks, before chuckling. "Relax, sister. You don't have to tell me."
Weiss sighs in relief and notices Winter now bearing a serious look. "That's not all, why you came here. Isn't there?"
Winter sighs. "Last night, I received a call from Father. He sounded...angry, that you haven't been answering his calls. Apparently, he is angry with you, deciding to stay in Beacon, for the duration of your upcoming break."
"And...what else, did he say?"
"I didn't give him a chance." Winter answered, smiling. "I simply blocked him." Her smile then begins to fade. "I just wanted you to know this. Father has always done things, to get what he wants. So, bear in mind, that he'll try to force you out of Beacon, when the time comes."
"I know." Weiss said. "And I'll do my best to avoid him. You don't have to worry about me. I can protect myself."
Winter chuckles. "I know, you can. Attending Beacon has changed you, Weiss. And for that, I'm proud of you."
Ring
Winter takes out her Scroll and looks at it, and sighs.
"It appears, I must return to Atlas." She puts her Scroll away. "Therefore, I'm afraid, I must make my departure."
"I understand." Weiss said, before smiling. "It was good to see you, Winter."
The Schnee sisters give each other a hug, before they separate, and Winter walks away. Weiss stares at her sister leaving, before walking towards the airship.
JNPR DORM ROOM
Jaune groans, as he slowly wakes up. He sits up, and stretches his arms, yawning. Pyrrha, studying in her desk, hears Jaune and turns to him.
"Had a good sleep?" She asked.
Jaune rubs his eyes and sits up. "A whole lot better. My stomach's not hurting, anymore. What on Remnant, did you give me?"
Pyrrha chuckles. "That, oh fearless leader, was a medicinal recipe, created by your truly."
Jaune is surprised. "Seriously?" Pyrrha nods. "...Wow. I didn't know, you could do that."
Pyrrha then chuckles nervously, and scratches the back of her head. "Well...I only made the medicine once. And...you were actually the first person to try it."
"So...you had no idea, what it was going to do?"
Pyrrha then awkwardly smile.
"Well, that's reassuring." Jaune said. "Well, I'm glad, it worked great." He then notices something. "Where's Ren and Nora?"
"They were heading for the workshop, just down the hallway. I told Nora, she couldn't construct her ammo here. So, she and Ren went to the workshop."
Jaune then stands up and grabs Crocea Mors. "Well, I'm going to talk to them. See ya, Pyrrha. And again...thanks for the medicine."
Pyrrha smiles and nods. "Anything for a friend."
Jaune nods, and proceeds to leave their room. Pyrrha then sighs and looks at the medicine bottle, she used.
"One day."
HALLWAY
Jaune walks down the hallway, and hums. He reaches the end of the hallway, and turns to his left, seeing a door, with a sign that says "Workshop."
"Hey, Jaune."
Jaune turns and sees Sun approaching him.
"Hey, Sun." He said. "What brings you here?"
"Eh. Just wandering around the school. Thinking about, what to do here, during break."
Jaune is confused. "I thought, you were going to spend your break, at your home, in Vacuo."
Sun shrugs. "Well, I found out, my folks are going on a long mission, and I didn't want to be alone, at home. So, I asked Ozpin to talk to Headmaster Leonheart, so I can stay here, a little longer."
"...Wow." Jaune then realized something. "Blake. Was she another reason, why you wanted to stay?"
"You read my mind, bud." Sun proudly answered.
"Nora! No!"
Jaune and Sun turn to look at the workshop door. They walk closer to the door. Sun reaches for the door handle. But, Jaune stops him. Instead, the blonde duo places their ears on the door.
Hiss
"What's that sound?" Sun asked.
"Uh-oh!"
"HIT THE DECK!"
Jaune and Sun's eyes go wide.
BOOM
All of a sudden, the door bursts open, and it flies forward, along with Jaune and Sun. They scream as they fly down the hallway, until the vertical door slams onto the wall.
Pyrrha hurriedly opens her dorm room door, and runs down the hallway, and sees the door-less workshop. She sees Nora, covered in soot, and her hair blackened and swept back, coughs. Ren lies on the ground, groaning.
"What the heck happened?" Pyrrha asked, worried. "Where's the door?"
"Back here!"
Pyrrha turns around and sees the door fall to the ground. Jaune and Sun, pinned to the wall, groan in pain. Jaune then turns his head to Sun.
"That was the sound of an explosion." Jaune said. "Blasting us across the hallway."
Sun nods. "Oh."
The blonde duo then grasps their broken noses, in order to fix them.
Crack.
VALE - CLOTHING STORE
A couple hours have past, since Team RWBY arrived in Vale, to start Weiss' shopping. Having already the Dust vials and school supplies, Weiss decided to acquire extra stuff as well. Like books, makeup, and weapon repair kits, which are kinda heavy, especially for young Ruby.
And now the team, is in the final destination of the day, a Vale clothing store. And the only one to sell clothing from Atlas. While Weiss goes to try out some of the clothing, the rest of her team, rest on a nearby bench, a few bags standing near them.
Yang angrily sighs. "She's been in that changing room, for 15 minutes. What's taking her long?"
"Well." Blake said. "She did bring a lot of clothing, to try out. Perhaps, she's trying EVERY outfit."
"I just want her to be done, already." Yang said. "I'm ready to head back to Beacon, and sleep."
The trio hears a door opens. They turn and sees Weiss, wearing one of the outfits, she picked.
(Description)
A blue, glittering mini-skirted dress with a sweetheart neckline on top of a white, tulle petticoat. A white ribbon ties at the waist, and over the outfit is worn a long-sleeved blue shrug. And dark platform heels.
(End of Description)
"Well." Weiss said. "What do you think?"
"You're seriously asking us?" Yang asked.
"I agree." Blake said. "This should be your opinion."
"I know." Weiss said. "But, if I'm buying this, I need the opinions of others. I don't want people to laugh at what I'm wearing. So..."
"I think it looks great."
They turn and see Ruby, appearing awestruck.
"You look way better in blue." Ruby said. "Also brings out the blue in your eyes. But, that's my opinion, though."
"Thank you, Ruby." Weiss said, smiling.
"Well, if Ruby says you look great, then I approve as well." Yang said.
"Same here." Blake said.
"Good." Weiss said. "Just give me a minute, to change back, and we'll be heading our way back to Vale."
After a couple minutes, Weiss comes back out, with her original outfit. She notices Ruby is missing.
"Where's Ruby?"
"She decided to look for something, while we're here." Blake said. "She's thinking about a change in wardrobe as well."
"Looks like, you inspired her, Weiss." Yang said. "You should be proud."
"Well, let's go look for her. I'm ready to leave."
The trio then walk around, trying to look for their leader. They eventually find Ruby, who is holding red fabric material.
"There you are." Yang said. "What's you got there?"
"Oh, nothing." Ruby answered. "Well...actually, I'm thinking of making a new cape and hood."
"What's wrong with the one, you have?" Blake asked.
"It's been through a lot." Ruby answered. "Eventually, it'll get burned, cut or whatever. I will need a replacement, eventually. Might as well, get the material now, and make it in Beacon."
Ruby and Weiss go to the counter, while Yang and Blake wait outside. Ruby goes first and purchases the fabric. As she get her money out, she doesn't notice something dropping on the floor. Weiss does notice this, and crouches down. Picking it up, she sees that it is a photograph of Ruby, and a girl with blue hair on one side, and blonde on the other. Both are smiling and there's what appears to be a carnival behind them.
As soon as she is done, buying the fabric, she turns around and notices Weiss holding the photograph. Eyes going wide, she quickly snatches the picture, looks at Weiss with a scared look, and quickly walks out, with the fabric, walking past Yang and Blake.
Weiss, worried, hurriedly purchases the clothes she wanted, and goes outside, only to see an angry Yang, her eyes red.
"What did you do?" Yang angrily ask.
"Me? I did nothing." Weiss answered.
"Then why was Ruby crying? Answer me!"
"I...I picked up a picture, she dropped. And when she saw it, she panicked." Weiss explained.
Yang realizes what Weiss meant. She sighs and allows her eyes to turn back to lilac. "Weiss. You and I need to talk, once we get back to Beacon. I think it's time, you know."
"Know what?" Weiss asked. "Who's the girl in the picture?"
Yang turns her head, and sees a crow watching them, nearby. She give it an angry glare, and the bird flies away. She then turns back to Weiss.
"...Someone from Ruby's past."
OZPIN'S OFFICE
Ozpin walks around his office, sipping his coffee, while reviewing everything regarding Cinder's escape. He then suddenly stops and his eyebrows are raised in surprised.
"Interesting." He said. "Interesting, indeed."
HALLWAY
Jaune carries the broken door from the hallway to downstairs, while Goodwitch angrily sighs and looks at the destroyed workshop. She then turns and look at Nora, her hair still blackened.
"Miss Valkyrie." Goodwitch said. "Do you wish to explain what happened? And I want no excuses, this time!"
"Um...I...I was making ammo for my weapon, when..." Nora tries to explain, before trying to find a good excuse.
"I accidentally bumped her, Miss Goodwitch." Ren says, surprising Nora. "The explosion was caused by me. I do apologize, ma'am. It was an honest mistake."
"Mistake, huh?" Goodwitch said. "Well, because of your 'mistake', the workshop in this dorm building will not be available, until it's been reconstructed." She then sighs. "Hopefully, the room will be back in order, by the time, break is over. Until then...please refrain from constructing your ammo indoors, Miss Valkyrie."
"Yes, Ma'am" Nora said, before pouting.
"Now, then." Goodwitch said. "I must be off. I need to inform the Headmaster of this incident."
Goodwitch turns around and walks away, while Ren sighs in relief.
"Ren." Nora said. "Why did you-"
"Sshh." Ren said, placing his finger on Nora's lips, silencing her. "You owe me." He then smiles and walks away, leaving Nora alone.
"Oh, I'll owe you. I'll owe you, alright." Nora said, grinning mischievously. Her face then goes to a happy smile. "Oh! Hey, guys."
Team RWBY, having arrived back, are surprised, their eyes wide.
"Uh...what happened, here?" Ruby asked.
"Don't ask." Nora answered.
"Was it your fault?" Blake asked.
Nora doesn't answer, only walking away.
"Aw, man." Ruby said. "I was going to use the workshop, when we got back."
"Relax, Ruby." Yang said. "There's one, just 10 feet away, outside. Speaking of outside..."
Yang then snatches the bags Weiss was carrying, getting a mad "Hey!" from the Ice Queen. Yang then gives the bags to Ruby and Blake. And without warning, begins dragging Weiss away from the hallway.
"Today's not been a good day, huh?" Ruby asked.
"Indeed, Ruby." Blake answered. "Indeed."
GARDENS
Minutes later...
Yang and Weiss arrive at the Beacon gardens, where nobody else is present. Yang releases her grip, and Weiss rubs her neck.
"Okay, Yang." Weiss said. "What is it, that you wanted to speak to me, about."
Yang points to a nearby bench. "Sit."
"...Why?"
"Just...sit." Yang said.
Weiss notices the seriousness on Yang's face. And without saying anything, she walks to the bench and sits down. Yang places her hands on her hips and sighs.
"Weiss. What I'm about to tell you, is something that only me, Ruby and our dad knows. So, you have to keep this to yourself. Especially from Ruby. She'll get very upset, if she found out, that I told you this."
"Told me what?" Weiss asked. "Yang. What's going on?"
"...The girl in that photo." Yang answered. "Her name's Jupiter. Ruby knew her, for many years. They went to the same schools, since they were little. She...was a very nice girl."
"Was?" Weiss said. "You mean she-"
"Yeah." Yang said. "About a year ago, before Ruby attended Beacon."
Weiss lowers her head in sadness. "How did she...you know?"
"Jupiter was sick. Ever since she was a little girl. Ruby never knew. And by the time, she found out...Jupiter only had a few days left. Ruby stayed by her side, until she passed. She didn't want her to be alone."
Yang then walks to one of the bushes, and picks a daisy from it.
"This was her favorite flower. Ruby grabbed a bunch of these and placed them on her grave. Heh. Ruby came to like them as well."
Weiss lifts her head. "Why didn't she tell me? Or Blake? Surely, she would've trusted us enough, to say something."
Yang slowly turns around.
"You have to understand something, Weiss. Something like this, is one of the things, Ruby never would speak to others about. Even if she trusted them."
"But why?" Weiss exclaims, standing up.
Yang sighs. "Ruby wasn't just friends with Jupiter. They...were more than that."
Weiss is confused, from Yang's words. But, after a few seconds, her face goes to shock.
"Yeah." Yang said. "They kept it a secret. Dad never knew. Jupiter's parent, too. Only I knew. And when Jupiter died, Ruby was devastated. Wouldn't come out her room, for weeks. We were worried, she was going to...well...end the pain."
"...No." Weiss said, in shock. "She would not."
"She would've, had it not been for Qrow." Yang said. "She was able to convince her, that stuff like this tends to happen to people. That death is something, we all must go through, when our time comes. He managed to encourage Ruby, by saying that she should keep moving forward. Not just for him. Or me. Or Dad. But, for Jupiter."
Yang puts the daisy on the bench.
"Ruby kept on moving. She got better. Eventually, she was happy again. Moving about the house, and going on adventures, once again."
"But...why was she scared, when I picked up the picture, if she had moved on?" Weiss asked.
"...Ruby still grieves for Jupiter." Yang answered. "She was Ruby's best friend and lover. And to lose her...it's going to take a long time for Ruby to mend her broken heart. But, she does so, by going on with her life."
Weiss proceeds to sit down, on a pillar, taking all this in. She then looks back at Yang.
"I...I don't know what to say."
"Don't then." Yang said. "Ruby cannot know, that I told you. I expect you to keep that secret, to yourself."
Weiss nods. "I will. Thank you, for telling me this. But, what about Blake?"
"I plan on telling her, once she gets a hint. But, for now...she doesn't need to know." Yang then stands up. "I think, we should head back to our dorm room. Wouldn't want Ruby and Blake to worry, since we both left, without telling them, where we're going."
"Technically, you dragged me here." Weiss said.
"Whatever." Yang said, smiling. "Come on."
ROOFTOP
Qrow sits on the edge of the rooftop, he's in. Sighing, he drinks from his flask, before setting it down. Looking at his screen, he reads the text.
Fall is in Vale. Hiding somewhere, downtown. Good luck.
Qrow growls, puts his Scroll and flask away, before jumping off, and the crow flies away.
NIGHT - RWBY DORM ROOM
Weiss slowly opens her eyes, having heard footsteps. She slowly lifts her head, and notices someone exiting their dorm room. She quietly gets out of her bed, and looks at Ruby's bed. Only to not see her sleeping there. She notices that a drawer is open, and Crescent Rose, which usually lies on Ruby's bed, is gone as well. Weiss then goes to her drawer and grabs some clothes.
FAIRGROUNDS
Weiss, minutes after dressing up, is walking towards the fairgrounds that are mainly used, for when the Vytal Festival Tournament is held in Vale. With Myrtenaster holstered to her hip, she looks around, trying to avoid anybody trying to catch her. As she continues walking, she suddenly gets behind a tree. She sees Ruby nearby, Crescent Rose ready and looking at a number of makeshift targets on the ground. Seeing anger in Ruby's face, Weiss doesn't move from her spot. Ruby, who isn't aware of her partner, yells and strikes at the first target. Taking a second, she then strikes at the second target. Her breathing being heavy and growling, she screams, as she strikes the third target, causing it fall to the ground. Panting heavily, Ruby falls to her knees and stares at the ground.
Weiss can see the tears falling from Ruby's face, and hear the slight sound of sobbing.
"Ruby."
Weiss turns and notices a Scroll sitting on a tree stump, showing the same girl, Jupiter, sitting on a bedside. Ruby turns to the Scroll and stands up to look at the video.
"I know, this must be hard on you." Jupiter said. "And I am truly sorry, for never telling you, about my condition. I...I was afraid, that if I did tell you...maybe you would've ran off, like everyone else did."
"I wouldn't have." Ruby softly said.
"And I am sorry, that my life was cut short, just when we were both truly happy, with one another. I do hope that, one day, you will forgive me."
Jupiter then turns sad. "Ruby. I know that, once I've passed on, you will be devastated. You will feel like your whole world just crumpled into tiny pieces. And you will grieve for me, for a long time. But, I am begging you, to keep moving forward, with your life. Enjoy all the days, that you are alive...find new friends...and perhaps...someone you will be together with, for the rest of your life."
Ruby tightly grips Crescent Rose.
"I just want you to know, Ruby. I want you to know, that no matter where I go, after I die...I will always be with you. I love you, Ruby Rose. But please...don't make me an anchor. Just keep moving forward."
The video then stops playing and the screen turns off. Ruby closes her eyes and raises her head. Sadly sighing, she wipes her tears away, and readies Crescent Rose. She the yells again as she strikes another target.
Weiss sadly watches as Ruby continuing attacking the targets. Lowering her head, she then turns around and walks away, making sure Ruby doesn't see her. Ruby makes one final scream, as she attacks another target.
ENDING OF CHAPTER 3
Hey, guys. Sorry for ending the chapter in a depressing way. But, I will be putting more seriousness in the story, but will have a lot of funny moments. So, please bear with me. The story will not turn into my RWBY War Trilogy. It's not going to get darker, as the story progresses. That, I promise you.
And also, if any of you guys got that reference with Jaune and Sun and the door, good for you. I always wanted to put that in a story. And now, I did.
So, yeah. Chapter 4 will come soon. I'm looking to complete the other Chapter 4 for my Volume 6 story, first. But, I may work of both 4th Chapters at the same time. But, I need to overcome my slight writer's block first.
Thank you guys for reading, and I do hope you've enjoyed 2017 so far. Bye!
