Hero: A RWBY AU Story
Chapter 7
PATCH
Ruby stretches her arms and yawns loudly, while sitting on the of her house's dining room.
"Geez, Rubes."
Ruby turns and sees Yang, wiping her eyes, and walking to the table. She sees Yang's hair, all messy and sticking out.
"If you yawn a little louder, you could wake up everyone in Patch."
Ruby chuckles. "Maybe one day."
Yang slowly sits down, and cracks her neck. Then she grasps her head.
"Still hurting?" Ruby asking.
"Yep." Yang answered. "You may have hit me harder, than I thought."
"I'll be sure to contain myself, the next time, we fight."
Yang then nods. "No. I'm still very sore. Maybe tomorrow."
The sisters then turn to see Taiyang, who is cooking breakfast.
"I would advise, you rest, from training." He said. "You two have been doing so, since you came back home."
Taiyang the puts the cooked eggs onto a plate, full of other eggs. He then turns his stove off, and picks off the plates of eggs and bacon, and the sets them on the table. When he sits down, the three then begin to puts their breakfast on their plates.
"So...if we're not training...what should we do, then?" Ruby said, before eating some bacon.
"That's a good question." Yang said. "There's pretty much nothing that goes on, in Patch."
"That's where you're wrong." Taiyang said.
He then takes out something, from his pocket. It is a flyer. The title of it says, "20th Annual Patch Unity Parade. Celebrate 20 years of peaceful equality, with family, friends, and others you trust."
"Oh, yeah." Ruby said. "I totally forgot about the parade. We should definitely go."
Yang begins to show a concerned look. "Are...you sure, Ruby?"
"It's alright, Yang." Ruby calmly said. "I'm perfectly okay, with going."
"Why the concern?" Taiyang asked, confused.
Both Yang and Ruby look at Taiyang. Ruby sighs, before she speaks.
"Jupiter and I used to spend time there. Back when she was alive."
Taiyang is surprised. "...Oh. I didn't know that." He then sighs. "Look...if you don't want to go-"
"No." Ruby said. "It's fine. I wanna go. I just...I need to go. Help with my grief, a little."
Taiyang nods. "Okay. We leave at noon. And don't forget. It's going to be chilly. So, Yang...bring your winter coat."
Yag groans in annoyance. "But, I look stupid in it."
"Yep." Taiyang said. "But, you'll be warm."
Yang crosses her arms an pouts. "Fine."
Ruby giggles a little, before her smile fades. "Dad?"
Taiyang looks at Ruby.
"There's...there's something, I need to tell you. After the parade. Okay?"
"...Yeah. But, we should eat, before our food gets cold."
Ruby nods, and the three resume eating their food.
VALE - ARC FAMILY HOME
"I saw him, first!"
"NO! I saw him first!"
"I am the older sister! So, I get him!"
"Why, you son of a-"
The sounds of fighting is heard, and after a few seconds, Nora, carrying a dazed Ren, bolt into a room, and closes the door. Nora then sees the kiss marks all over Ren's face, and growls. The door the bathroom opens, and Jaune exits. He is surprised, to see Ren and Nora, in the position, they're in. Ren lies on the ground, dazed, while Nora is holding the door, which is being knocked and banged outside.
"Jaune!" Nora yells. "You didn't tell us, that your sisters would act like THIS!"
Jaune nervously chuckles, and scratches the back of his head. "Sorry."
"Whatever!" Nora exclaims. "Get...my...weapon!:
Jaune turns his head to see Magnhild, in weapon form, on a bed. He grabs it, and throws it to Nora. who cocks it. When the noise is heard, the knocking and banging is stopped, and the sound of footsteps are heard, slowly fainting. Nora crouches next to Ren, before she lowers her head, her lips on Ren's forehead. When she gets up, she smirks.
"If I don't come back...tell Ren, I love him!" Nora yells before exiting the room.
Ren groans, as he comes back to reality, and sits up. He looks at Jaune's surprised face, his eyes wide.
"What just happened?" Ren asked.
The faint sounds of screaming and explosions are heard. And Ren's eyes go wide, as well.
"NO ONE TAKES MY RENNY FROM ME!" Nora is heard, from far away.
"Please! Show mercy!"
"Oh, you'll get mercy, alright! AFTER I'm done with all of you!"
Ren's eyes go wide, and he looks at Jaune again.
"Seriously! What happened?"
BOOM!
"Oh, crap." Jaune said, lowering his head. "That's not good.
BEACON - HALLWAY
Weiss happily hums, as she walks down the hallway, towards Team RWBY's dorm room. She is carrying a tray, with some breakfast, from the mess hall. When she reaches the door to their dorm, she manages to reach a hand to the doorknob. Knowing that Blake is possible asleep, she slowly twists the knob.
As she opens the door, and enters the room. She turns to look at Blake's bed. Raising her eyebrows, but not looking surprised, she sees Blake in her bed, with Sun next to her, his arm around her. Weiss sighs and nods.
Probably snuck in, while I was gone. Weiss thought.
Weiss then casually walks and places the tray, on the dresser, next to Blake's bed. Weiss then hears a groan, and turns. Blake yawns, before she slowly opens her eyes. She sees the arm, and turns her head, looking at Sun. Smiling, she turns back, only to see Weiss. Her eyes wide, Blake just freezes.
Weiss then points at the tray, before motioning Blake, to be quiet. She then walks back to the door, and leaves, closing the door, behind her.
"Wow!" She then awkwardly said, before walking down the hallway.
PATCH
Yang is stretching her arm, groaning from the soreness. Taiyang is packing sandwiches into a traveling bag, along with some other essentials.
"Ruby!" Yang yells. "We're leaving in 10 minutes. Are you ready yet?"
"Almost!" Ruby yells back.
A Rip is then heard.
"Uh-oh!"
"What's wrong?" Yang asked.
"I...I tore my blouse!"
Yang sighs.
"Don't worry, Yang. I have a backup!"
"I do hope, it's regular clothes, Ruby!" Taiyang said. "I swear. You guys wear the same clothing, every day."
Yang turns to Taiyang. "What's wrong with my outfit?"
"...It's...it's a little...exposed." Taiyang answered.
Yang, confused, looks down her chest. Knowing what Taiyang said, Yang chuckles.
"Dad. I appreciate your concern. But, trust me, when I say this: No boy or man will be going anywhere near me. Unless they want a good old-fashioned beat-down. Besides, I'm lighter, when I fight."
"I get that." Taiyang said. "But, don't you think, you want to try something different, every once in a while."
"I have." Yang answered, thinking about her Hunter outfit. She then begins to think. "But...maybe you're right. Perhaps a longer coat. I feel like this one is getting a little smaller."
Taiyang sighs. "And that is why, you're wearing your winter coat.
Yang groans in annoyance. "I'll wear it, when we get there."
"Okay!" Ruby said, from upstairs. "Ready!"
Yang and Taiyang turn around to see Ruby, wearing a different outfit.
(DESCRIPTION: A white high-neck décolletage blouse and corset, with her original red and black skirt. Thigh-high stockings with a long-stemmed rose. Red-soled black boots contain four straps and buckles apiece. Her rose emblem is now on her right shoulder.)
"Well...what do you think?" Ruby asked.
Taiyang and Yang, both surprised, shake their heads.
"Uh...Ruby?" Taiyang said. "Don't you think-"
"It looks great!" Yang interrupts. "It's has a...less Gothic look, than your old outfit."
"Was it that gothic?" Ruby asked."Oh, well. Thanks for liking this. I think, I may wear this, from now on. Oh! I forgot my Scroll. Let me go get it!"
Ruby runs up the stairs, with Zwei following her. Yang turns around to Taiyang.
"I know, what you're going to say, Dad." Yang said. "But, rest assured. When we get back to Beacon, I'll be sure, that no boy gets near her."
"Every boy?" Taiyang asked.
"...Well...there's her best friend, Jaune. And there's Lie Ren. Both from JNPR." Yang answered. She sees Taiyang about to talk. "And don't worry. Both those guys have their eyes on other girls. Besides. Ruby only prefers them, as friends. She has no need to find someone, right now."
"And you're sure about that?"
"Positive. She's shown no interest, to anyone, since coming to Beacon."
Which is a complete lie. But, Yang knows about Ruby's previous crush on Weiss. And her past relationship to Jupiter. But, she won't tell her father, about this. Not now, perhaps.
"...Okay." Taiyang said. "Guard her, with your life, when you get back to school. Got it?"
Yang nods. "Don't worry. I will."
BEACON - FOUNTAIN
Weiss stands in front of the fountain, that stands in the front of the school. As she stares at it, she notices something.
"Why does that sword look familiar?" She asked herself.
"You wondering that, too?"
Weiss quickly turns around, to see Coco behind her, staring at the statue. And behind Coco, is Velvet, who is staring at the ground and yawning.
"I've been asking myself, that same question, every day." Coco said. "And I cannot seem to get an answer."
"How long?" Weiss asked.
"Since the day you guys arrived at Beacon." Coco answered.
"So...what brings you out here?" Weiss asked.
"Velvet here often like to take walks around the school." Coco said. "Says it helps clear her mind. As for me. Well, I didn't want my partner to be alone."
Weiss raises her eyebrow. "Really?" She then looks at Velvet, who is slightly blushing. "You two aren't together. Aren't you?"
"No!" Velvet exclaims, raising her head, embarrassed. "We're not! Why does everyone keep asking that?"
"Uh...what?" Weiss asked, confused.
"You're not the first to ask that question, Weiss." Coco said. "And the answer is no. Velvs here, is like the sister, I never had. I just care for her, too much."
"Right." Weiss said.
"And what about you?" Coco asked. "Dorm room got too hot, for the Ice Queen?"
"Hey!" Weiss said, annoyed.
Coco chuckles. "I'm kidding, Weiss. But, really. How come, you're out here?"
"Well, if you want to know, I WAS going to relax in my dorm room." Weiss answered. "But, when I walked in, I saw Blake being...occupied."
Coco raised her eyebrow. "Occupied?"
"She's cuddling with Monkey Boy, on her bed." Weiss said, crossing her arms. "You know. Sun Wukong."
"Sun?" Velvet asked, receiving a nod from Weiss. "Oh, boy. That's going to raise some concerns."
"Well...he is a bit annoying." Weiss said. "But, pass that, he is kind of a nice guy."
"That's not what Velvs is talking about." Coco said.
"Then what?"
"Seriously?" Coco said. "You're telling me, you didn't know about Yang's crush on Bla-"
Coco is stopped by Velvet covering her mouth.
"She wasn't supposed to know!" Velvet exclaims. "Dammit, Coco!"
Weiss now has her eyes wide in surprise, hearing this information. "What?"
Velvet then sighs. "Yang like Blake. A lot! But, since Blake is with Sun, Yang is probably going to be sad. And angry. I don't know. Which is why, Coco WASN'T supposed to let anyone else know!"
Coco raises her arms and chuckles nervously. "It was an accident?"
Velvet sighs in annoyance. "Let's just go."
She then grabs Coco, and starts dragging her away from Weiss, who sits down, taking in the new information.
"Oh, boy." She said.
VALE - ARC FAMILY HOME
"WHY?" Jaune screams, looking at the hole, in his family home.
Jaune and Ren are in the living room, when they see the hole. Outside, Nora, wielding her mighty Magnhild, is chasing a group of women, all bearing blonde hair, around the front yard.
"GET BACK HERE!" Nora screams. "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU, YET!"
Ren turns his head, and looks at Jaune, now frozen, and his eyes wide.
"Uh...shouldn't we try to calm her down?" He asked.
Jaune, after standing frozen for a few seconds, then just drops to the ground, his legs sticking in the air.
"My parents are going to kill me." Juane said.
Ren sighs. After setting Jaune's legs down, he stands and walks through the hole.
PATCH
Ruby, Yang, and Taiyang are walking down a road, passing by several houses on the way.
"It seems, almost everyone is heading to town for the parade." Yang said, noticing several cars passing them.
"Well." Taiyang said. "The Unity Parade, is a Patch tradition. And as residents of Patch itself, it is our solemn duty, to attend it. To remember when both Human and Faunus agreed to live in harmony. Man. You two are lucky to have been born after the treaty was signed."
"What was it like, before?" Ruby asked.
"...Very bad, Ruby." Taiyang answered. "I was only a kid, when I saw it all. Humans and Faunus fighting each other. Sometimes for small reasons. Sometimes for no reasons as all. That's just the way it was."
"What caused the treaty to be formed?" Yang asked.
"...The Grimm." Taiyang explained. "Through all the negativity, it attracted a massive Grimm horde to Patch. For days, we fought against them. But, when we knew that Patch would fall, we decided to side with the Faunus, who were fighting in other parts of the island. What had took us days, actually took us hours, with their help. That's when the majority of the population decided that enough was enough. And therefore, today marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Patch Unity Treaty."
"Boy. That's mouthful." Yang said.
"It is." Taiyang said. "Even I hate saying that. But...it's something, that we have to embrace. I just wish Daisy was here."
"Daisy?" Ruby asked, confused.
"My best friend, before I left for Beacon." Taiyang answered. "She left, during the conflicts. Moved to Vale. She gave up fighting, and now owns a flower shop, in the city."
"Was she your best friend?" Yang asked raising her eyebrow. "Or was she more than that?"
Taiyang sighs. "I wish. But, it was dangerous, for a Human to date a Faunus, at the time."
"She's a Faunus?" Ruby asked.
"Yep. But, I guess, not dating her, meant all the events, that led to you two, being born."
"At least don't tell us the details, of how we were...conceived." Yang said, before shuddering.
Taiyang chuckles. "Don't worry. I won't."
"So...you still think of Daisy?" Ruby asked.
"Occasionally, these days. We talk from time to time. I often remember all the great times, we had. But, man. She was the worst in hiding from others. With those rabbit ears, in the way."
Ruby and Yang then suddenly stop walking, their eyes wide. Taiyang notices this, and turns to them
"What?"
"...Um...By any chance, you know, she has a daughter?" Ruby asked. "Brown hair. And bunny ears, like her mother?"
"...Yeah. Why? You know her?"
Yang then whistles. "Wow." She then turns to Ruby. "Perhaps Velvet, would've been his daughter, instead of us."
"Or possibly, I would've had another half-sister." Ruby said. "You know. If Dad had-"
"What are guy talking about?" Taiyang asked.
"Nothing!" Ruby and Yang answered.
Taiyang sighed. "Let's...just keep walking. This is feeling a bit awkward."
"Agreed." Ruby said.
She and Yang catch up with Taiyang, and they keep on walking. What they never notice, is the Raven-haired woman, hiding behind a tree, watching the trio, her eyes glowing.
THE DAY BEFORE - CAVE
The sound of a door opens. Torchwick, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and Adam all stand up, to watch the Grimm-Human hybrid, her skin white and purple veins on her arms and face, walking.
"Mistress Salem." Cinder said, bowing.
Salem raises her arm, and Cinder sits back down. Everyone else does, as Salem walks around them, before sitting down at her chair.
"Well...it has certainly been a while, since we've seen each other." Salem said. "Face-to-Face. And this is the place, where you've been hiding?"
"It is, Mistress." Cinder answered. "Though, when you are a fugitive of Remnant, one doesn't have many options."
"Enough talking!" Adam exclaims, before turning to Salem. "Now, since you're here, can you tell me, why I was summoned to this meeting of yours?"
Salem then turns her head towards Emerald, who nervously stands up, silent.
"Speak, child." Salem said.
Emerald starts to look around the group, and sighs.
"Ironwood has declared Cinder and her known associates, dangers of Remnant. And to be caught, means our deaths. His orders are to find and eliminate. That's means all of us, here. Except for you, Mistress Salem."
"And except for me." Adam said. "Let it be known, that my name was never revealed, that night in the tournament. So, I don't see, why I should even be here."
"You really like to run your mouth, do you?" Torchwick said, before lighting a cigar.
Adam growls.
"Enough." Salem said. "Let's not be hostile towards each other. Well...at least not now."
Emerald sits down, and stares at the table.
"We were very close in causing Beacon and possibly Vale, to fall, all those days ago. The plan was flawless, all the way. I do not blame you, Cinder. I was actually impressed. However, this...savior of Remnant poses a threat, to our plans. So...that is why, I wanted you here, Taurus. Sources say, that he's staying in Patch. And since you are not known by Ironwood and his army, I want you to find this...Salvator, and kill him."
"Why didn't you ask, in the first place?" Adam said. "I'll get it done."
"Good." Salem said, before turning to Cinder. "Cinder will be accompanying you. She has knowledge of the island, itself."
"I don't need a babysitter." Adam said, growling. "I can do this, by myself."
"Cinder will go with you." Salem said. "Besides, she was heading to Patch anyways. Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Cinder answered. "I'm going to pay a little visit, to that blonde, who knocked me out, at the tournament. And perhaps hurt her sister, in the process."
Adam angrily sighs. "Fine."
"That's a good boy." Salem said, smiling. She then turns to Emerald and Mercury. "Roman. You and these two, will remain here, to keep and eye on the White Fang, who are stationed here. Ensure that no trouble, comes from them."
Torchwick sighs in annoyance. "As you wish."
Adam gets up, along with Cinder. They both then walk out of the room. Salem then turns her head to Torchwick.
"Roman. Disregard my order. I actually have something else, in mind for you."
"Really?" Torchwick asked, crossing his arms. "Care to tell me?"
"Let's just say, it involves Ruby Rose."
PRESENT DAY - PATCH
"I...look...stupid!" Yang exclaims, wearing the fluffy winter coat, that she hates a lot.
Ruby and Yang are standing nearby Taiyang, who is at the information booth, for the Unity Parade.
"It's not that bad, Yang." Ruby said.
"It makes me look fat." Yang said, pouting.
"Oh, come on, Firecracker!"
Ruby and Yang turn to see Qrow, who takes a swig from his flask and putting it away.
"It's really not that bad. At least, it'll keep you very warm"
"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby exclaims, before jumping to him, giving Qrow a big. "Oh! It's good to see you, again! Where you been, these past few days?"
"Eh." Qrow answered. "Here and there. Mainly helping Oz with a couple easy tasks. Shame, you guys left, when I was at Beacon."
Qrow then turns to see Taiyang, with some anger on his face, walking to him.
"Tai."
"Qrow." Taiyang said, crossing his arms. "What brings you here?"
"Oh, come on." Qrow said, before releasing Ruby, form her hug. "You know, I wouldn't miss an event, like this. Especially after you introduced me, to it."
Yang then leans to whisper to Ruby. "He's mainly here, for the women."
Ruby does nothing but giggle, in response. "Probably."
Qrow looks at Ruby and Yang, before turning back. "Can I speak to you, in private? It's important."
Taiyang nods, and looks at the sisters. "Go enjoy yourselves. We'll catch up, later."
"Come on, Yang." Ruby said, grabbing Yang. "The parade starts in five minutes."
Ruby and Yang the run towards the nearby crowd, while Taiyang and Qrow remain.
"Alright." Taiyang said. "What did you need to talk to me about?"
Qrow sighs. "We have a problem. This is coming from Oz, himself."
"Oz?" Taiyang asked.
"Yeah. He believes that Fall will be making her next move, during the parade. Along with an accomplice."
Taiyang raises his eyebrows in surprise. "Really? Well...that's not good."
"Yep. He wanted me to let you know. Because he wants us to keep an eye out for anything or anyone, particularly Fall herself. And if any of us discover something, we take action."
"Damn." Taiyang said. "Okay. If Oz thinks, Fall's going to attack, then I'll be sure to keep an eye out. Where will you be?"
"Trust me, Tai." Qrow answered, smiling. "I'll be hanging around."
"Of course, you will."
Qrow then walks away towards an alleyway, while Taiyang walk towards the crowd.
MISTRAL - CLIFF-SIDE
Pyrrha, alone, sits next to the cliff-side, near her home in Mistral.
Ring
Pyrrha takes out her Scroll, and opens the message sent from Jaune. Her eyes go wide, in surprise. The picture shows the hole in the Arc Family Home. And Jaune is face-palming, with a message.
'Help me!'
Pyrrha chuckles. "Sorry, Jaune. You're on your own, on this one.
She then puts her Scroll away, and lies on the grass, staring at the sky.
"This is my vacation time."
VALE - ARC FAMILY HOME
"Unbelievable!" Jaune yells.
He is staring at the hole in the all. Nora sits on the couch, staring at the ground, while Ren watches her, his arms crossed.
"What's the one thing, I said to you, Nora?" Jaune said, turning to Nora.
"Not to break anything?" Nora asked.
"Correct. And what did you do?"
"I...I broke something." Nora said, ashamed.
"And not just something! You made a hole, in the wall! And you broke Auburn's arm, as well as Jamie's."
Nora turns and looks at Ren, who nods.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"Oh, don't apologize to me, young lady." Jaune said. "You will do that, when my parents get home. If you think, they were nice before, just wait till you see them, angry." He then sighs. " And as punishment from me, you will be stripped of your hammer, for the remainder, of our Winter break."
"What?" Nora exclaims, standing up. "That's not fair!"
"Sorry, Nora." Jaune said. "But, as team leader, you left me with no choice. No hammer, for the rest of the break. End of story. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take Auburn and Jamie to the hospital, while my other sisters are resting. Ren will be keeping an eye on you."
Jaune then goes through the hole in the wall, leaving the two, in the living room. Nora crosses her arms, sits down, and looks at the ground. Ren then walks around, and stands behind the couch and Nora.
"Are you mad at me? Nora asked.
Nora hears nothing but silence, and lowers her head more.
"It may have been a little extreme, Nora." Ren said.
Nora notices that there was no anger, in his voice. She then raises her head, and looks up to see Ren, from upside down, showing a smile, in his face.
"But...I suppose, I'll let this slide." He said.
Nora is surprised. "Huh?"
"I heard, what you said to Jaune, upstairs."
Nora's eyes go wide, and she lowers her head, trying to hide her blush. She then feels an arm wrap around her, and hears Ren whispering to her ear.
"You never cease to surprise me, Nora." He said. "Even after all these years."
Ren unwraps his arm, and proceeds to give Nora a peck on her cheek, before standing and walking, leaving Nora frozen in shock and surprise.
"And another thing..." Jaune said, returning back. "Huh?"
He notices the frozen Nora, just sitting there.
"Uh...you okay Nora?"
Nora, not changing her surprised expression, nods her head, before letting a happy squeal. Jaune, feeling scared, slowly backs away, and leaves.
PATCH
Ruby stares in awe, of the various floats pass by her, Yang and Taiyang. Several people cheer or are taking pictures from cameras.
"I swear." Ruby said. "This event gets better, every year."
"You are right, about that, Rubes." Yang said.
Ring
In an instant, Yang, Taiyang, and Ruby take out their Scrolls, only to see that no one is calling or messaging them.
Ring
"Huh." Taiyang said. "That's weird."
Ring
"There it is, again." Ruby said. "And no one else is noticing."
Ring
Yang lowers her head, and turns to her left, noticing a briefcase, with a blinking red light. Her expression turns to shock.
"Ruby. Dad."
Ruby and Taiyang turn to Yang.
"The briefcase, lying next to me, is starting to blink and ring. And it sounds like, it's getting faster."
Taiyang's eyes go wide. "Oh, no."
The blinking red light then stops, and two beeps occur. All of a sudden, a loud screeching noise emits from it. Yang, Ruby, Taiyang, along with everyone else present, are covering their ears.
Qrow, standing on a rooftop, covers his ears as well. As he lifts his head, he notices someone, in a hood, on a roof, across from him. As the screeching begins to stop, Qrow takes out his sword, and leaps in to the air. The person does the same, and swords collide. The hood quickly comes off, and all Adam does is smiles, before kicking Qrow, sending him crashing to a float. Adam lands next to the float, sword ready and all.
Yang stands up, and sees Taiyang aiding Ruby, who appears dazed, lying on the ground. She quickly turns and sees Adam.
"Who the hell, is that guy?" She asked.
"That's Adam Taurus."
Yang turns and looks at Taiyang.
"I recognize that mask and those horns, anywhere. He's the leader of the White Fang, here in Vale. He's extremely dangerous."
Yang turns back to see Adam walking away, allowing her to see the emblem on the back of his coat. Her eyebrows raise, upon seeing the rose. She then remembers, a few months back, when she interrupted Blake, who was staring at the drawings, she made. And she sees the same rose on the notebook. Yang comes back to the present, and looks at the rose on the back of Adam's coat.
"Blake." She said, to herself.
Yang notices Adam stopping, and turning around. He then stares at Yang, and growls. Raising his sword, the blade points at her. Yang's eyes begin to turn red.
"Yang. Wait!" Taiyand exclaims.
Yang ignores the words, and Ember Celica activates. Adam smiles, and takes out a pistol, raising it, into the air, and fires.
BOOM
The people begin to scream and flee. Yang walks to the middle part of the street, staring at Adam.
"So." He said. "You know Blake, huh?"
Yang doesn't respond, only clenching her fists.
"Silent, huh?" Adam said. "Fine, then. When I'm done with you...perhaps I'll go find Blake and-"
Yang yells and uses Ember Celica to launch herself at Adam. He quickly dodges her punch, which creates a hole in the ground. Adam takes out Blush, and aims at Yang. As he fires, the projectile is met by another blade, blocking it. Adam growls, looking at Qrow, who smirks and chuckles. Adam jumps back and watches as Qrow and Yang get into fighting positions.
"Look, pal." Qrow said. "I don't know, why you decided to disrupt a day of peaceful unity. But, I would suggest you leave immediately. It's pretty obvious, we outnumber you."
"Two against one?" Adam said. "That's hardly outnumbered."
"No, it isn't."
Adam turns around, and is met by a kick to the face, sending him to a wall. Qrow and Yang see the masked savior of Remnant, holding a pair of axes, and walking towards them.
"I think three against one, is pretty much the definition of outnumbered." Salvator said, joining the two. "I was just enjoying this wonderful day of Unity. Only for it to be ruined by this menace. I suppose, I'll fight with you two."
Qrow chuckles. "Finally nice to meet you. Suppose, I gotta thank you, for preventing chaos in Vale, those days back."
"You could do that, later." Salvator said, before turning to Yang. "What? I don't get a thanks, for possibly saving you from being framed?"
"Perhaps later, like you said." Yang answered. "We're about to fight."
"I suppose that's fair, gorgeous." Salvator said.
Yang is surprised, by the compliment, but goes back into her fighting stance.
Adam growls, and quickly gets up. He sees Salvator.
"Looks like, you made my job, much easier." Adam said. "Been looking for you, savior of Remnant."
"Oh, I'm sure you are." Salvator said, getting ready to fight.
Taiyang, still tending to Ruby, notices her slowly opening her eyes, as she groans.
"What happened?" Ruby asked, sitting up. She then sees the Yang, Qrow and Salvator about to fight Adam. She then turns her head, and notices someone on a nearby rooftop, her swords ready. Taiyang sees this, and looks at her direction.
Ruby then begins to look mad. "Cinder."
Cinder smiles, and her eyes begin to glow.
