Hero: A RWBY AU Story
Chapter 5
ROOM
A young man, wearing white and gold, is dancing around, while music is playing. He continues dancing, as he walks towards a box, and grabs a pizza slice. He then walks to a computer, and types with one hand, while eating the pizza with his other.
Beep
The man, surprises, puts the pizza down, wipes his hand with a towel, and begins typing on it. As he does, pictures begin to appear on the screen. He then smiles.
"Well, well, well."
He looks at the pictures, that show Cinder, Torchwick, Emerald, and Mercury appear. He begins to chuckle.
"Coming out of hiding, huh?"
He then sits down, on a swivel chair, slides it across the room, and goes to a drawer. Opening it, he smiles as he looks at a mask, that lies inside. Grabbing the mask, he puts it on.
"Time to let the people know." He said, his voice altered.
BEACON ACADEMY - JNPR DORM ROOM
Jaune lies on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He turns his head, to see Ren reading a book, while Nora happily hum, while wearing her pink headphones. Jaune sits up, and sees Pyrrha entering.
"There you guys are!" Pyrrha exclaims. "I've been looking everywhere, for you."
Jaune looks confused. "Um...we've been here, the whole time. Where did you think, we were?"
"Down at the auditorium." Pyrrha answered. "Haven't you been listening to the loud music?"
Jaune stands up, and goes to the window, opening it. He can hear the sound of loud music, outside.
"What is that?" Ren asked.
"That...is the party, Team CFVY held, as a celebration for the last day, before break." Pyrrha answered.
Nora squeals in excitement. "A party! We SO gotta go, Ren! We CANNOT miss it!"
"But, I prefer the the silence, of our room." Ren said. "You guys, go on ahead. I'll just stay here."
"Awww..." Nora said. "But, it'd be more fun, if you came along. Besides...you can't spend the last day, just staying in this room."
"But, Nora..."
Ren is then met, with the puppy dog face, Nora is giving, in an effort for a plea.
"Come on, Nora."
Nora keeps the face, still staring at Ren.
"Might as well, say yes, Ren." Pyrrha said.
Ren the sighs and puts his book down. "When do we leave?"
Nora squeals again, and hugs Ren tight. "Thanks, Ren. You are the best." She jumps off her bed. "Just let me get ready."
Nora then speedily runs inside the bathroom, as Jaune walks to his drawer, and pulls out some clothes.
"Might as well go." He said. "One more night of fun, before break, sounds like a great idea. Especially, when it's with friends."
Pyrrha smiles.
VALE - CARNIVAL
Weiss has her hand on her face, and is nodding. Ruby is struggling under a giant stuffed Grimm toy, which pins her to the ground.
"I don't understand, why you didn't get anything smaller, Ruby." Weiss said.
Ruby manages to move the stuffed toy, and stand up.
"Well, it was either this, or a toy weapon." Ruby said. "And given, I already have a weapon...this is better."
Weiss sighs. "We can't just carry this around. It's too big."
Ruby smiles. "No biggie. I have a solution."
Ruby then takes out her Scroll and clicks on a button. The two then silently wait. That's when Weiss sees something whooshing in the air, and land near them, startling some people. Ruby and Weiss look at the Beacon locker door open.
"Help me with this." Ruby said.
She and Weiss carry the stuffed toy and carefully place it inside the locker. After they do, Ruby presses on her Scroll, and it flies away.
"Well...that's a relief." Weiss said.
"Yeah." Ruby said. "Somehow, I knew this was going to happen."
Weiss raises an eyebrow. "You knew, you were going to win a giant stuffed toy, and would need your locker to put it in."
Ruby shrugs. "Somewhat. Now, come on. The rides are next." She then holds Weiss' wrist.
Weiss yelps, as Ruby drags Weiss towards a roller-coaster.
BEACON - AUDITORIUM
Music is blaring, and the students of Beacon begin dancing to the beats. A DJ plays the music, while dancing around. While everyone dances around, Yang sits alone in a table, near the entrance, moping and drinking from a cup.
"Yang?"
Yang look up, and sees a smiling Faunus, recognizable by her Rabbit ears.
"Hey, Velvet." Yang said.
Velvet Scarlatina sits on a chair, across from Yang.
"What are you doing, sitting by yourself?" She asked. "And how come, you seem...sad?"
Yang shrugs. "It's nothing. Maybe...I'm not just in the partying mood."
"Don't lie, Xiao Long."
Yang turns her head, and is met by the girl with the beret and sunglasses.
"In all the times, we hung out...you never say no to a party."
"Well, Coco...I guess, tonight's not really a good night, for me."
Coco Adel scoffs. "Well, you know what I think? I think, someone, who you wanted to be here, is not. And you're sad, she isn't here."
Yang is surprised. "How did you know, it was a she?"
"I didn't." Coco answered. "But, based on your reaction, I guess, I'm right." Coco then sits next to Velvet. She then wraps her arm around Velvet, who blushes in embarrassment. "So, tell us, Yang. Who exactly, were you trying to bring, tonight?"
"Coco..." Velvet said.
"No. It's...it's okay." Yang said, before turning to Coco. "I expect, that you keep this a secret, Adel. I know, how much you like to gossip."
Coco grabs her shades, and takes them off. "Try me."
Yag slowly inhales, before sighing. "Blake."
"Blake?" Velvet asked, tilting her head. "You're partner?"
Yang nods. "Yep. But, she decided to go with Sun, to Vale. To that carnival, that's happening."
"And you're moping about it?" Coco said. "What does it matter, it she ain't here?"
Yang sighs and rests her head on her hand.
"You like her."
Yang looks at Velvet, who is surprised.
"You have a crush on her. Do you?"
All she and Coco just watch, is Yang blushing, at the question.
"I...guess that's understandable." Coco said.
"Just...don't tell anyone." Yang said.
She then notices something, making Coco and Velvet turn. JNPR enters the auditorium, with Nora already dancing to the music.
"Well...you could hang out, with your friends." Coco said. "Maybe, that'll cheer you up."
Yang stares at Coco, for a few seconds, before smiling. She then stands up.
"Yeah. You're right. Thanks, Coco."
Yang begins to walk away, before she stops and looks at the two members of Team CFVY.
"By the way...are you two, like a...thing, or something?"
Velvet eyes go wide, in shock. Coco, meanwhile, just laughs.
"No." Coco answered. "We're not. I just like to tease her."
Velvet lowers her head, trying to hide her massive blush. Yang chuckles, before walking towards JNPR.
Jaune notices Yang approaching her and waves at her.
"Sup, guys." Yang said. "Glad to see all of you, here."
"Wouldn't miss it, for the world." Pyrrha said.
Nora then grabs Ren's wrist and they go to the dance floor.
"They make such a cute couple." Yang said.
"Yep." Jaune said. "Even if they deny that fact. So, Yang. Where are the others?"
"Ruby and Weiss went with the Vale Carnival, with Blake and Sun. I just came, alone. Didn't even come up, with a backup plan."
"Well, if you want...you can dance with me." Pyrrha said. "Jaune's going to hang out, by the punch bowl."
"What makes you think, I'm doing that?" Jaune asked. "I actually feel like dancing, myself."
"It's okay, Pyrrha." Yang said. "You and Vomit boy go and have fun. I gotta couple things to take care of."
Jaune groans in annoyance. "Still, with the nickname?"
Yang chuckles and pats Jaune's shoulder. "Yep."
Jaune and Pyrrha watch, as Yang walks to the punch bowl. Jaune then offers his hand to Pyrrha, who accept it. Yang watches as the two walk to the dance floor. She then goes to a bottle, opens it, and pours some of the alcoholic drink, into the punch, before she drinks from it.
VALE - BOOKSTORE
Blake sits down on a bean-bag chair, reading a book, as Sun is looking over some comic books, for sale. Blake takes a moment to turn and look at Sun, who is picking up one comic, called "X-Ray and Vav." Upon seeing this, she chuckles.
Sun, hearing that, looks at Blake. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing." Blake said. "Jaune likes that series. Saw him reading a few issues, before."
"Really?" Sun asked. "Didn't even know, he was a fan, too."
Blake then focuses on the comic, which has a #1 on it.
"That's the first issue. Isn't it?"
"Indeed, it is." Sun answered. "Why?"
Blake then smiles. "Well...Jaune recommended, that I read it. But, I never got to do so."
Sun chuckles. "Trust me, Blake. I think, someone like you, will like this. Maybe...we could read it, together...perhaps?"
Blake puts her finger under her chin. "Hmm...might as well."
Blake then shifts herself, on the beanbag chair, so that there's space for one more person. She then places her open book, on a shelf, and pats on the space on the chair. Sun walks to Blake, and sits on the empty space, adjusting to it. Blake then moves a little closer, in order for the both of them to read the comic.
As Sun opens the first page, he doesn't notice Blake, lowering her head, until he feels it, resting on his shoulder. Surprised, he doesn't look at her, pretending to read, while also smiling.
CARNIVAL
Weiss and Ruby are sitting on a bench. Weiss is eating a pretzel, while Ruby is eating a cookie, twice the size, of one that she normally eats.
"So, Ruby...are you enjoying the evening?" Weiss asked.
Ruby swallows the bite of cookie, before answered. "I did, Weiss. And I know, I already said this...but thank you, again."
Weiss smiles. "Anything for a friend."
Ring
Weiss sighs and takes out her Scroll.
"Who is it?" Ruby asked.
"Probably my father." Weiss answered, before looking at who's calling: Yang. "Um...I actually need to take this." She stands up. "Don't go anywhere."
Weiss then walks away, and goes behind a game booth, where no one else is present. She then answers the call.
"Heeeeyyyy, Ice Queen." Yang said. "Enj...enjoying your evening with Rubes?"
"Yes, Yang." Weiss said. "I am enjoying it."
Yang then begins to snicker loudly, Weiss noticing.
"Are you drunk, Yang?"
"No, officer." Yang mockingly answers, before laughing.
Weiss sighs. "What do you want, Yang?"
"Oh...noth-hiccup" Yang answered. "I was just wonderin whether you two..." She tries to stop herself from giggling.
"Uh...Yang?" Weiss asked, confused.
"Sorry." Yang said. "I may have had a liddle too much, tonight."
"Obviously."
"Yep. Soooooo...have you two made out, yet?"
Weiss' eyes go wide. "Yang Xiao Long! How dare you, ask something, like that!"
"Whoa, there." Yang said. "Sorry, if I asked. I just would've thought, you two had already lip-locked already. Given that she's got a HUGE crush on you."
Weiss is both surprised in shocked, frozen in place, upon hearing what Yang just said. And she doesn't say anything for a few seconds.
"Uhhhhhhh...hello? Remnant to Weiss? You there?"
"What did you just say?" Weiss asked. "She...what?"
Yang is silent for a few seconds, before speaking. "Oh...crap. I let that out, didn't I?"
"Yang...how long?" Weiss said.
Yang sighs. "Since that day, you two met. You...never noticed?"
"No." Weiss answered. "Is that why, she's so nice to me?"
"Partly." Yang said. "Ruby said, the you remind her of Jupiter. Only...a little bratty."
Yang then begins to groan. "Oh. Sorry, Weiss. Gotta go. About to blow chunks. Just...try to break the bad news to Ruby, very kindly."
The call ends, as Yang begins to retch. Weiss, still shock, backs into the wall of the booth, holds her Scroll, to her chest, lowering her head. Taking a moment to calm herself down, before putting her Scroll away. Sighing, she leaves the area, and walks towards Ruby, putting on a fake smile.
"Weiss!" Ruby exclaims. "Now's a good time, to ride the Ferris wheel! It ain't crowded, as much now! Wanna take the opportunity?"
Weiss turns to the Ferris wheel, where a couple people are in a line. She then turns back to Ruby.
"Yeah. Let's."
She and Ruby walk towards the Ferris, and stop in the line. As they wait, Weiss looks up, seeing the tall height of the Ferris wheel.
"A bit too tall." She said. "Don't you think?"
"I agree." Ruby said. "But, you do get a spectacular view, of Vale and the night sky."
Weiss nods, in agreement. They are now, the next in line, where the attendant, stands in front of them.
"Just you two?" She happily asked.
"Indeed, ma'am." Ruby said, smiling.
"I see." The attendant said. She then leans forward and whispers. "In my honest opinion...you two look adorable together. Like a couple."
Both Ruby and Weiss goes eye-wide. Ruby puts her hood on, in embarrassment. Weiss looks away, rubbing the back of her neck.
The attendant giggles. "I'm kidding, you two."
She then leads Weiss and Ruby into a seat.
"Or am I?"
The Ferris wheel begins moving. And due to no one else in line, instead of occasionally stopping, the Ferris wheel just keeps on moving.
"This is great!" Ruby said, raising her arms. "We'll get to see Vale, sooner than I thought."
The attraction keeps on giving, until it suddenly stops, where the seat was at the very top. Ruby smiles wide and Weiss stares in amazement, at the beautiful scene of Vale, all lit up, in the evening. Weiss the looks up, to see the stars in the sky, and she begins to smile.
"Wow." Weiss said.
"Enjoying the scene?" Ruby asked.
"...Yes." Weiss answered. "It's...beautiful. The stars in the sky. Reminds me, of when I used to look at them, back home. One of the few things, I enjoyed, growing up."
"I can see that." Ruby said. "You're smiling more."
"Yes. I am.'
Ruby chuckles. "I really appreciate you, taking me, Weiss. It's been a while, since I've come to this place."
"You're welcome, Ruby." Weiss said. "I am glad, to see you happy."
Weiss then turns away, to look at the moon, bright and shining in the night sky.
That's when she feels something on top her hand, and she turns sad. Knowing it's Ruby's hand. Slowly turning to see, that she was right, she sadly looks at Ruby, who bears a worried look. Weiss then moves her hand away, and just stares down.
"Weiss?" Ruby asked.
"Can...can we talk, after we get back down?" Weiss said, not looking at Ruby.
"Um...sure." Ruby answered.
The two remain silent for the remainder of the ride. And when it's over, they walk away from the Ferris wheel, and leave the carnival. They continue to walk, until they arrive at a small park nearby. Seeing that it's empty, Weiss stops and sighs.
"Weiss?" Ruby asked. "Is...is something wrong?"
Weiss turns to look at Ruby. "I'm...i'm sorry, Ruby."
"Sorry for what?"
Weiss lowers her head. "Yang...she, uh...she told me, about your...crush on me."
Expecting Ruby to be in shock, Weiss only gets a slight gasp, from her.
Ruby then sighs. "Yang was drunk. Wasn't she?"
Weiss just nods.
"Is that why, you've been acting strange, at the Ferris wheel?"
"...Yes." Weiss answered. "And...no."
"What...do you mean, Weiss?"
Weiss just sighs. "Ruby. I'm going to be very honest here. The way you feel about me. I...I'm sorry to say. But, I don't feel the same way."
Ruby, though surprised, just turns sad, and lowers her head. "Oh. I...I see"
"I am so...so sorry, Ruby." Weiss said. "I'm sorry, if you thought, all the nice things, I've done tonight, led you on, to think, that I liked you. I was just merely trying to cheer you up."
"No." Ruby said. "I...I understand. And I did enjoy tonight."
"I know you did." Weiss said. "But, after right now...I just hope that, despite this, we could still be friends, perhaps."
Ruby just gives a sad smile. "Of course. You are my fighting partner, after all."
Weiss, despite knowing, she's faking her smile, just smiles back.
"Ready to head back to Beacon?"
"No." Ruby said. "You can head back, if you want. I'll just go back, with Blake and Sun. I just need a to be by myself, for a little bit."
"Are you sure?" Weiss asked.
"Positive. Don't you worry about me. I'll just be at the Dust shop, by the bookstore. I'll be near Blake and Sun."
Weiss, though hesitant, nods. "Okay, Ruby. Just...stay safe. Okay?"
Ruby nods and puts on her hood, before turning around, her smile fading to sadness. Weiss, turning sad as well, turns and the two walk opposite ways.
BEACON - HALLWAY
Jaune is carrying a drunken Yang, who is giggling, down a hallway. Pyrrha follows the two, with Ren and Nora staying at the party.
"Geez, Yang." Jaune said. "You had a bit too much. Don't you think?"
Yang begins to snicker. "Probably."
Jaune sighs, as he opens the door to Team RWBY's dorm room, and Pyrrha goes into JNPR's. Leading Yang to her and Blake's bunk-bed, he struggles to get Yang to her bed, but Yang resists.
"Come on, Yang."
"But, I don't want to climb up." Yang whines. "I'll nauseous."
Jaune, annoyed, sighs. He then carefully places Yang on Blake's bed.
"We'll let Blake deal with you, once she gets back." Jaune said.
As Jaune begins to stand up, Yang grabs his arm, and pulls him to a hug. Jaune struggles to free himself.
"Hold on, Vomit Boy." Yang said, her hug getting a little tighter. "I need to tell you something. She then whispers. "It's a secret."
Jaune sighs again. "What is it, then?"
Yang then puts her mouth near Jaune's ear.
"Ruby likes Weiss. A whole LOT!"
"Uh...yeah. I kinda got that." Jaune said. "Which is why, I stopped flirting with Weiss."
"Right. But guess what? There's more!"
Jaune groans. "Yeah?"
Yang giggles, before answered. "Ruby likes you a lot, too."
Jaune's eyes go wide, upon hearing that. "What?"
But, he doesn't get an answer. Yang is already fast asleep, snoring loudly. Jaune stands up, and leaves the dorm room, closing the door behind him. Pyrrha is waiting at the doorway to their room. She notices the look on Jaune's face
"Is...everything alright?" She asked, worried.
Jaune, just staring at the floor, looks at Pyrrha with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. Just...something that Yang, said to me."
"What did she say?" Pyrrha asked.
Jaune rubs the back of his head, blushing. "I'd...rather not say. It's kinda embarrassing. And I think, personal."
"Well...okay." Pyrrha said. "You coming inside?"
Jaune nods. "No. I just need some time, by myself."
Pyrrha nods. "Well, I'll be here, when you get back. Oh. And if you see Ren and Nora...make sure, they get back here, instead of the school kitchen. Remember last time?"
Jaune groans. "Don't remind me."
Pyrrha goes inside and closes the door. Jaune puts his hood on, and then puts his hands in his pocket, as he walks down the hallway.
VALE - DUST SHOP
Ruby, wearing her headphones, stands near a magazine stand, and is reading one, that's about weapons. As she does, sadness is clear on her face, but she doesn't allow anyone to see.
As Ruby reads, she doesn't notice the raven-haired woman, with glowing amber eyes, entering the shop. An employee, working there, shows fear in his eyes, before he's blasted by fire. That's when Ruby sees the person hit the wall, near her. She quickly turns around, to see Cinder, smiling, and looking at her, with fire spewing off her hand.
"Well, well." Cinder said. "If it isn't little Rose."
Ruby takes her headphones off, and reaches for something. Only to realize that she doesn't have Crescent Rose with her.
"Aww...did the flower forget her weapon, at home?" Cinder said. "Too bad. I was looking forward, to our rematch. You remember, right. During the dance?"
Ruby, quickly thinking, grabs a dust crystal, and throws it at the villain. Cinder blasts it, and the red crystal explodes, blasting both of them opposite ways.
BOOKSHOP
The sound of the explosion, is heard from the bookshop. Blake and Sun, who were still reading the comic, quickly stands up. Blake takes out her Scroll, and points it outside the entrance.
"Come on." She said.
Blake and Sun quickly run outside, where a locker lands. Blake opens the door, and gets out Gambol Shroud, before she turn and sees Cinder, who is getting up..
Screech
They turn to look at the screens that the bookshop had, in it's windows. The static screen the shows the same masked man, from the Vytal Festival.
"Citizens of Remnant." He said. "It is I, again. You remember me. Right? From the Vytal Festival? Well...I'm here with another juicy report, to tell you guys."
Blake looks at Cinder, who is gripping her swords tight.
"You all remember Cinder Fall. Right?"
A picture of Cinder is shown on the screen.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen. She has, indeed, return. So, I would suggest remaining cautious. She could be anywhere. She could be at your nearest park. In your own house. Or maybe the Dust shop, near the Vale Carnival."
The glass and screen breaks, from the arrows, fired at Cinder. Blake and Sun quickly turn to Cinder, and get ready. Cinder turns to see Ruby, dazed, and trying to stand up. She turns back to the two.
"You either have two choices, right now." Cinder said. "You either chase me down...or...save your fearless leader."
Blake then realizes what Cinder said, looking at the Dust shop. Cinder the combines her swords into her bow, pulls the string, and fires three arrows, at the floor, near Ruby. She then runs down the street, while Blake and Sun run towards the Dust shop.
Ruby lifts her head, to see the three arrows, beginning to glow, and her eyes go wide. As Blake and Sun get to the entrance, the inside explodes, sending them lasting backwards to the street.
LANDING PAD
Weiss, who was about to enter an airship to Beacon, hears the explosion, and turns to see smoke rising into the air. She notices the multiple colors, the smoke is showing.
"Oh, no."
Weiss the begins running towards where the smoke is.
DUST SHOP
Blake and Sun quickly get up, and sees the fire and smoke, coming out of the shop.
"Ruby!" She yells.
"I'll get her." Sun said. "You call an ambulance."
Sun then runs into the Dust shop, while Blake calls for the emergency services. Sun, his aura protecting him, from the flames, spot a figure, in red, lying on the ground. Next to her, is the employee, Cinder blasted away. He quickly runs to Ruby, avoiding the flames, and picks her up. He then goes to the employee, and picks him up, as well. Carefully carrying the two, he runs of of the shop, where Blake puts her Scroll away.
"They're on their way." Blake said.
Sun puts the two down, and puts away any small flames that were burning on their clothes. Blake crouches down, and move looks at Ruby, seeing a small burn mark, on her neck. She places her finger on an undamaged part, and feels a pulse, sighing in relief.
That's when Ruby gasps, and begins to violently cough, trying to breathe. Sun pats her back, and helps her, to sit up.
"It's alright, Ruby." Sun said. "You're okay."
Ruby, in a panicked state, looks around. "Cinder? Where is she?"
"Gone." Blake answered.
"What?" Ruby exclaims. "Why didn't you go after her?"
"It was either chase her, or leave you to die!" Blake said. "She didn't give us, much of a choice."
Ruby then turns to look at the burning Dust shop.
"I was in there." She begins to start shaking. "I almost...I..."
Ruby begins to softly sob, knowing she was close to death. Blake quickly responds, holding Ruby, as she cries.
"It's alright, Ruby." Blake said. "It' going to be alright."
Blake then quickly turns her head, and sees Weiss, her eyes wide on shock, walking towards the three. Weiss looks at the burning building, before turning back to the sobbing Ruby. She tries to get closer, but Sun stands up and stops.
"Just give her a couple minutes."
Weiss backs away, and complies. "What happened?"
"...Cinder." Sun answered.
BEACON - COURTYARD
Jaune walks around the Beacon courtyard, just thinking of what Yang had told him. That's when he hears the sound of giggling. He turns to see Ren, supporting a drunken Nora. Jaune smiles and nods.
"I see, Nora copied Yang."
"Yep." Ren answered. "Luckily, I don't drink."
"That's to...too bad." Nora said.
Jaune sighs. "Just make sure-"
Ring
Jaune takes out his Scroll, and answers the call.
"Hello?"..."Hey, Blake?"..."No. Yang is passed out. Had a little too much, at the party? Why? What's up?"
After a few seconds, his eye's go in shock.
"What?"... "Is she okay?"...He sighs in relief. "Okay. Where's she going to be at?"..."Alright. Thanks. I'll let Yang know."..."Yeah. We'll be there, soon."
Jaune puts his Scroll away.
"What happened?" Ren asked.
Jaune looks at Ren. "Something happened."
RWBY DORM ROOM
The door opens, and Jaune enters the room. Going to the sleeping Yang, he shakes her.
"Yang! Wake up!"
Yang groans. "Go away. I'm trying to sleep."
"This is serious, Yang! You gotta wake up!"
"Why?"
"Something happened to Ruby!"
Yang suddenly opens her eyes, and sits up, with a worried look.
"What do you mean, something happened?"
"Look." Jaune said. "Blake said, she's okay. But, she was taken to the hospital, in Vale."
Yang quickly gets up. "Where?"
"Downtown. I'm about to head over there, right now."
"Well, I'm going with you."
Yang goes to walk, but Jaune stops her.
"No, Yang. You're still drunk."
"I don't care!" Yang yells. "Ruby's my little sister! I need to see her!"
"You can't just walk into a hospital, while intoxicated." Jaune exclaims. "Security will force you to leave."
Yang's eyes go red. "They can try."
Jaune then gets mad. "Are you really going to do this, right now? Your sister is in the hospital, and you want to cause a scene."
"I just need to make sure, she's okay."
"And that's why, I'm going over there!" Jaune said, raising his voice. "To let you know, later on!"
"You don't have to." Yang said. "I'll check up on her, myself."
She then walks and opens the door, preparing to leave.
"GET BACK HERE!" Jaune screams, standing up.
Yang, shocked at being yelled by Jaune, immediately stops. She also sees Pyrrha opening her door, with a worried look.
"I know, that you worry about Ruby!" Jaune exclaims. "I know that. But, I am too. She is my best friend. And almost like a sister, to me. I care for her, as much as you do. But, I will not allow you to make things more worse, than they are, right now."
Yang turns and looks at Jaune.
"That's why, I need you to just go back to sleep. I'll make sure, she's fine. You can come by, in the morning, when you're sober."
Jaune then walks to the doorway. He calms himself, before continuing.
"And if anyone tries to hurt her...I'll make sure, they don't. You have my word."
Yang lowers her head, and waits a few seconds, before nodding. "Okay. Let me know, how's she's doing."
Jaune nods, and exits the room, while Yang closes the door. He then turns to Pyrrha.
"Did something happen to Ruby?" Pyrrha asked, worried.
"She's okay." Jaune said. He turns to the door to RWBY's room, before looking back at Pyrrha. "Keep an eye on her."
Jaune then walks down the hallway, while Pyrrha watches him
HOUSE
An older man, with blonde hair, and a tattoo on his right arm, is watching television, when his Scroll rings. He picks it up and answers.
"Hello? Yes, this is Taiyang Xiao Long."
Taiyang waits a few minutes, before his eyes go wide.
"What did you just say?"
END OF CHAPTER 5
Alright. That's another chapter done. As I had said before, chapter 6 will take place when Winter break happens. So, Ch. 6 will be from a hospital, to Beacon, then to Patch.
That's about it, you guys. Next chapter coming soon.
