RWBY Volume 6, Chapter 7

Solis


PATCH - CLIFFSIDE

Yang stands next to the cliff-side, looking at the ocean and the sunset, from a distance. She turns around, and sees Blake, looking at her. Yang then turns and looks at the three gravestones that are nearby. Sighing, she walks to third gravestone, and places her hand on it. She then stares at the name: Raven Branwen.

"Still miss you, Mom." Yang said. "Just wish you were here. We all know, how much, you love the fight."

Yang then turns to look at Blake. But instead, she see no one there. And the forest was also gone. Confused, Yang turns back, and sees that the gravestones and cliff-side gone. Yang the looks around, and everywhere around her, is nothing but white.

"You disappoint me, Yang."

Yang looks around to find the source of those words.

"I am ashamed of you."

Yang activates Ember Celica and prepares to fight.

"Who's there?" She yells.

Yang hears nothing, and is her eyes goes red. Hearing something, she turns around and is about to attack. But, she sees something red swiping across. She attempts to punch with her left arm, only to find nothing. She turns and sees her left arm gone, the limb lying on the ground. Eyes wide in shock and shaking, she falls to her knees, and stares at the ground.

"You let your emotions, take over you."

Yang sees a pair of black high boots, and lifts her head up. Raven Branwen stares at Yang, anger in her face. The wound on her chest, from Torchwick, is shown, blood flowing out of it.

"Letting your emotions take over, blinds you. And that blindness makes you weak."

Raven then lifts her sword and and aims at Yang.

"The weak die. And the strong survive. That's just how it works, now."

Raven the swings her blade at Yang's neck.


YANG & BLAKE'S ROOM

Yang gasps, as her eyes open wide, waking up from the nightmare, she just had. She then lifts herself up, and turns to notice that Blake wasn't lying next to her. The sound of a door opening is heard. Yang turns and looks at Blake, who exits the bathroom. Blake notices the look Yang has.

"You okay?"

Yang lowers her head, and sits on the side of the bed.

"Had that nightmare again?"

Yang nods.

Blake the goes to sit next to Yang, who lowers her head on Blake's shoulder.

"Why can't they ever stop, Blake?" Yang asked. "That's all I want. I just want the nightmares to stop."

"That's trauma, for you." Blake answered. "They suck. But, we have to go through them, Yang. Believe me. I know."

Yang then stands up, and she walks to the dresser. After getting her clothes, she walks to the bathroom, as Blake watches. Yang then stops at the doorway.

"I'm going to miss this, you know." She turns to Blake. "The fighting. After this mission...I'm done."

"I know." Blake said. "And you know, it's for the best."

"But, you don't have to stop, either." Yang said. "You could just stay and help."

Blake stands up, walks to Yang, and gives her a peck on the lips. "Wherever you go...I go."

Yang stares at Blake, before nodding. Blake backs away, as Yang closes the bathroom door. Blake goes to a chest, opens it, and takes out Gambol Shroud, as the sound of running water is heard. Staring at her weapon, she then looks at the long, red blade. Picking it up, Blake looks at Raven's weapon, before turning to the bathroom door.


LIBRARY

Aiden is standing next to a bookshelf, reading a book. As he flips through a page, he hears the sounds of footsteps.

He sighs, before talking. "Somehow, I knew you would come to talk to me, alone."

Aiden turns around, and looks at Pyrrha, who looks nervous.

"Why are you so nervous? Speak."

Pyrrha stares at Aiden, before she stares at the ground. "When you said that phrase, yesterday. About how fire never burns out. I only heard that phrase, once before. Months ago."

Aiden closes the book and puts it in the bookshelf. He then begins to walk around the area, he's in.

"That's when I knew." Pyrhha continued. "You're Solara's brother."

"That's right." Aiden said, looking at Pyrrha.

"And...you are aware about, what happened to her. Right?"

"...I do." Aiden angrily answers.

Pyrrha lifts her head and looks at Aiden. "Is this, why you came here? For revenge?"

"...Partly." Aiden answers again. "I mainly came here, to help Velvet, move on with her life."

"And what will you do, when you've succeeded?" Pyrrha asked. "Will you go after me?"

Aiden angrily stares at Pyrhha, before walking towards her.

"I don't plan on killing you, Miss Nikos." He said. "But...I plan to make you feel the same pain, you inflicted on Solara. It could be today. It could be tomorrow. Or maybe next week. But, one of these days, you're going to pay."

Aiden then walks past Pyrrha, rudely nudging her shoulder. Pyrrha walks to a nearby desk, and sits down. Staring down, she notices her hands shaking, and her breathing gets a little faster.

And the faint sounds of screaming, begins to go off in her head. Pyrrha quickly covers her ears, trying to deafen the screams. But they do not get quieter. Tears begin to fall down her face, as she begins to lightly sob.


RUBY & WEISS' ROOM

Ruby is packing clothes into a duffel bag, before she places Crimson Rose into it. After she zips the bag up, she turns around and smiles. Weiss lies on their bed, sleeping. Ruby walks around the bed, and crouches next to Weiss, who begins to wake up. Ruby smiles, and gives Weiss a kiss on her nose.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." Ruby said.

Weiss groans, rubbing her eyes, before talking. "What time is it?"

"Almost eleven in the morning." Ruby answered. "I just thought, to wake you up, before I leave."

Weiss moves to sit on the side of her bed. "Oh, right. You're leaving for Vacuo, in an hour."

"It's just for a couple days." Ruby said, smiles. "We're just going to defend a few villages, and take out a couple strongholds. After that, we'll head back home."

"It can't be that simple." Weiss said. "Who knows, what the Seekers have in store. Is it even possible, they know that you're coming?"

Ruby's smile fades. "Yeah. But, we'll be ready, in case they are."

"...Okay. Just promise me, Ruby. Promise, that you'll be safe. You keep each other safe, until you get back."

Ruby stands and gives Weiss a peck, before smiling. "I promise."

Weiss then turns and opens a drawer, taking out the charm bracelet, Ruby gave her. She then holds this to Ruby.

"Here." Weiss said. "I want you to hang on to this. As a reminder of your promise to me."

"Are...you sure?" Ruby asked.

Weiss nods, and gives the bracelet to Ruby, who puts it on. "I am expecting you to bring this back, when you return. If I see one scratch on it..."

Ruby chuckles. "I'll be sure, to keep it safe."


NOON - LANDING PAD

Jaune sits inside the airship, his hands clamped together, and one of his legs shaking.

"You okay, Jaune?"

Jaune turns and sees Yang approaching her.

"You look nervous." Yang said.

"It's nothing, bad." Jaune said. "Just never been to Vacuo before. Kinda heard, that it's a hot place."

"Ha." Yang said. "That means nothing to me."

Jaune notices the three duffel bags, that Yang is holding. "You sure, you need all that, for a couple days?"

Yang places the bags into a compartment, before turning to see that she and Jaune are alone. She then turns back to Jaune.

"As you know...when we return to Atlas, after our mission, the airship will be making a stop in Vale, to refuel. And...well...Blake and I decided, that we'll be leaving from there."

Jaune looks surprised. "Really? Well...I guess that would save time. But...have you even told Ruby and the others, yet?"

"After we've settled in Vacuo." Yang answered.

The conversation is cut short, when Velvet, Aiden and Blake enter the airship.

"Five minutes, guys." Blake said. "I would suggest strapping in, right now."

"I'll be back." Yang said. "Just need to check a couple things."

Yang then begins walking out of the airship, while Sun passes her. Yang notices that Sun looks a little nervous. She stops Neon, who was near.

"Is Sun okay?"

"Yeah." Neon said. "He's just nervous. Guess heading back home, after so long, can make one feel unnerved. Boy, his family is going to be giving him a mouthful."

Yang chuckles, and pats Neon's shoulder. The two walk opposite ways. When Yang is outside the airship, she sees Weiss hugging Ruby and separating.

"Stay safe." Weiss said.

"I will." Ruby said. As she backs away, her holds still holds Weiss'. Eventually they release each other, and Ruby walks to Yang.

"We'll be safe." Yang said. "Right."

"Depends on whether or not, the Dark Seekers are aware of our mission." Ruby answers as she passes Yang, who turns with a worried look. She then walks inside and finds a seat next to Blake. As she straps in, she sees Pyrrha, Qrow and Terra enter. Pyrrha stops and stares. Yang turns and sees that Pyrrha was staring at Aiden, who was sitting near Jaune. She turns back to Pyrrha, who lowers her head, and finds a seat next to Qrow. Yang then turns to Blake, who has a confused look on her face. Yang just shrugs her shoulders, and crosses her arms.


ROOFTOP

Winter, her hood on, watches as the airship exits Alpha Base and flies away. She then takes out her Scroll, and reads the message, she recieved.

Follow them.

Winter puts her Scroll away, and turns to walk to a small airship.


ALPHA BASE - CONTROL ROOM

"Airship to Vacuo has left, sir." Penny said, standing next to Ironwood.

"Thank you, Penny." Ironwood said. "Now, then...we still have much to do, here in Atlas. Inform the soldiers, that we head downtown, in an hour."

Penny nods, and she walks out of the Control Room.


FARM

"We must go."

"Shut up!"

"I must insist, that we leave immediately."

"I said shut up!"

"Oscar. Why do you keep ignoring-"

"Get out of my head! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

The black-haired boy gasps, as he wakes up. His eyes green with yellow around his pupils. He pants heavily, as he looks around his small room, surrounded by books. Across from him, lays a familiar cane on top of a bookshelf. He then angrily sighs.

"What did I say, about talking to me, while I'm sleeping?" Oscar asked, standing up. "It's getting annoying, Ozpin."

"I understand, that you're getting frustrated with me. But, keep ignoring me, and I'll keep talking in your sleep."

"Look." Oscar said. "You had me training, behind my aunt's back, for three years. Had me learn your abilities. And even had me holding your cane, when I'm not working around the farm. That last one, I don't even know why, anyways."

"It...reminds me of my days, when I was alive."

"But, now you're telling me, that I need to head to Vacuo. To meet up with that Rose girl, that everyone's been talking about."

"That is correct."

"And yet, I keep saying no. You won't even tell me, why I need to go. If you can't tell me...then no."

"...You really want to know?"

"Please do."

"...Very well. Can you grab my cane?"

Oscar sighs. He walks to the bookshelf and picks up Ozpin's cane. Looking at the hilt, he inspects the designs. Oscar then looks at the top of the hilt, the small sphere beginning to glow. Oscar's eyes then go wide in surprise, as the glow gets brighter.

"This...is why you must go."


VACUO - SOLIS VILLAGE

Ruby, sleeping and her arms crossed, is shaken by a hand. She opens her eyes and yawns.

"Are we here?"

Ruby turns her head and looks at Jaune, who nods.

"We're here." He said.

Ruby stands up and stretches.

"Yang and the others already exited. They're just waiting for us." Jaune said.

"Right." Ruby said. "Well, then...let us go. Oh, boy. Bring it on, heat."

Jaune chuckles. "Come on."

The two walk towards the back and exit. They see Yang and the others looking at them. Ruby notices an older man, sporting a short beard, smiling. She walks past everyone and stops in front of the man.

"Ruby Rose, I presume." He said.

"That's me." Ruby answered.

The man offers his hand. "Octavius Smoke. Mayor of Solis. I am glad, that you answered our call for assistance."

Ruby shakes his hand. "We help those, in need." She then notices a man, shirtless and wearing a red bandana around his face. His chest shows multiple scars. "And him?"

Octavius turns to the guys. "Ah, yes. This man, Miss Rose is my personal bodyguard."

"Shay Blackthorne." The man said, in a somber tone. "But, I sometimes like be prefered as 'Harper'".

Ruby notices that his tone had some anger in him. "He's not going to be trouble. Is he?"

Octavious chuckles. "Not at all. Shay is not exactly fond of strangers. But overtime, maybe he'll want to be a friend."

Shay turns his head, and his eyebrows raise in surprise. Ruby turns to see that he's looking at Qrow, with surprise in his face. She then looks at Wesley and nods at him. Wesley nods back and approaches. He is suddenly stopped by a bladed gauntlet. Wesley looks at Shay, who bears a similar gauntlet on his other arm.

"I can sense so much anger, in you." Wesley said. "I take it, you're not particularly fond of Atlesians."

"You guessed right." Shay answered. "And so is the many Faunus, who live in this village."

Wesley nods and then he points to Neon, who is surprised.

"Miss Katt here, is both an Atlesian and a Faunus." He said. "Are you going to treat her, the same way?"

Shay looks at Neon. Sun immediately stands in front of her. Wesley continues.

"I can assure you, Mr. Blackthorne. I will not pose any trouble for you or anyone else. I am merely here, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in this mission. Miss Rose can vouch for me."

Shay turns to Ruby.

"It's okay." She said. "He's a pretty cool guy. And he's a friend."

Octavius then makes Shay lower his weapon. "I do hope this little bout is over. Now, then. You all must be tired from the long travel. Please. Allow me, to escort you to where you'll be staying. Follow me."

The group begin to follow Octavius down the main road, passing many buildings and passing by the people of Solis village.

"There's so many Faunus here." Ren said, noticing the large group of Faunus that looks at them.

"Yes, indeed." Octacvius said. "About half the population of Solis village, are Faunus. We welcome anyone to live in the village. And we have zero tolerance for any discrimination. Of course...Mr. Wukong already knows this. Isn't that right, young man."

"I do." Sun said. "By the way...have you seen my folks anywhere? Or maybe Athena?"

"Yes, I do." Octavius answered. "They are traveling to the next village, to help someone neighbors move into their new home. They should be back tomorrow."

Sun nods. "Thanks."

As they all still walk, Velvet notices someone, a Faunus with a tail, nervously walking next to her.

"Um...can I help you?" She asked.

The girl looks at Velvet, before taking out a Scroll and swiping it. She then gives it to Velvet, who is surprised at what she's watching. Her fight against Torchwick is shown, in the video that's playing.

"Somebody recorded my fight?" Velvet asked. "And put it online?"

The girl nods.

"Why do you look nervous?"

Aiden, who was also next to Velvet, chuckles. "It seems that, among the Faunus, you're somewhat famous."

Velvet looks at the girl, who takes her Scroll back. "What's your name?"

The girl lowers her head, and stares at the ground. "Valerie."

Velvet smiles and offers her hand. "Velvet. Nice to meet you."

Valerie looks at Velvet's hand. Though hesitant, she shakes it, and walks away.

"Well." Aiden said. "That was pretty nice."

"She kinda reminded me of myself, back at my days at Beacon." Velvet said.

"Heh." Aiden said. "Maybe you should go talk to her, later."

Velvet's smile fades, and she stares at the ground.

"Come on, Velvet." Aiden continued. "You wanted to move on. Right?"

"I do." Velvet answered. "I just need to think about it."

She notices that the group stops next to a building.

"Okay." Octavius said. "This is where you'll be staying for the night. And tomorrow, I will tell you what you'll be helping us with. So, for now...go ahead and relax. Maybe walk around the village, if you please. You are welcomed guests here."

"We appreciate it." Ruby said.

Octavius nods and he walks away, while the group walk inside the building. When they go inside, they see rows of beds, with shelves next to them. There was also a small kitchen and dining room with a large table.

"Well." Blake said. "This is pretty nice."

"We are helping an entire village." Yang said. "Figured they need us to be taken care of, if we're going to help."

"Well, until then..." Jaune said, before dropping himself onto a bed. "Dibs."

Pyrrha smiles and nods, before taking the bed next to Jaune's. After everyone has taken a bed, most of them decide to settle in, while some decide to explore the village. Ruby, lying on her bed, stares at the ceiling. She then turns and looks at Weiss' charm bracelet, which is sitting on top of her personal shelf.

"Already miss her?"

Ruby turns and sees Terra, smiling.

"Oh, yeah." Ruby answered. "Miss her so much. But, it's only a couple days. Maybe three. After that, it's back to Atlas and into her arms."

Teraa then sits on Ruby's bead. She then turns to see if anyone is nearby is listening. When there wasn't anyone, she turns back to Ruby.

"Ruby." She said. "I know that it's good, being your friend, especially one who is another Maiden. But this...resentment towards Qrow. It has to stop."

"I don't want it to stop." Ruby angrily said.

"You can't keep this up, for the rest of your life." Terra said. "Look. I know, your are furious at him, for telling you after all these years. But, trust me. It would've been much worse, if you found out, by yourself. He just felt like you were ready be told the truth."

"I had been ready, after I killed Salem." Ruby said, crossing her arms. "He could've told me then. I would've forgiven him, back then. But, I can't now."

"...Fine." Terra said. "If you won't...then there's something, you must do. Something that needs to be happen, while we're here."

"What is it?"

Terra turns away and looks at Yang, who is inspecting her robot arm.

"Qrow wants to tell her. And he wants you there, when he does."

Ruby's eyes go wide in surprise. "And why is that?"

"Because he feels like, she deserves to know now. Rather then later."

Terra turns back to Ruby.

"Summer may not have been her daughter. But Yang loved Summer, as if she was her real mother. She deserves to know."

Ruby turns and looks at Yang. She then begins to sigh. "Fine. Tell Qrow, that I'll be there."

Terra then picks up and holds Ruby's hands, before resting them on her forehead. Releasing her grip, Terra smiles.

"Thank you, Ruby."

Terra then stands up. "Qrow wants to tell her, when it's just the three of you."

"I can get everyone to leave, right now." Ruby said. "Might as well do it, now."


MARKET

Sun and Neon walk around the market, watching the people buying fruit or are just walking around, themselves.

"Kinda too bad, Cyan didn't want to come." Sun said. "She would've love this place."

"Probably." Neon said. "But she wanted to stay to help in Atlas. It was her choice."

Sun turns around and notices Neptune, a few feet behind him and Neon, his hands in his jacket packet and staring at the ground.

"Yo." Sun said. "You doing okay."

"Huh?" Neptune said, lifting his head. "Oh. Uh...yeah. Just some long thinking."

Neptune then turns and walks away, leaving the two to watch.

"Wonder what's bothering him." Neon said.

"Same here." Sun said.


REST AREA

Yang stands next to one of the tables, where Ruby, Qrow and Terra are sitting in. Besides her is Blake.

"Blake." Terra said. "You should probably go, too. This is more of a family matter."

"Blake can stay." Yang said. "Whatever you have to say to me, then she gets to listen as well."

"Listen, Yang." Qrow said. "What we're about to tell you, might come as a shock to you. Hell...it's the reason why Ruby has been angry at me, the last few months."

Yang looks at Ruby, who has her arms crossed and is staring at the floor.

"I stay true to my words." Yang said to Qrow. "Blake stays. Besides, if she were to go, then Terra would have to, as well."

Qrow sighs, before nodding. "Okay, then. You, uh...you may want to sit down, for this one."

Yang takes a seat and sits down.

"Okay." She said. "What is it, you want to tell me?"

To Yang's surprise, she sees that Qrow looks hesitant to answer. He clenches his fists hard. Terra places her hand over one of his. Qrow looks at her, and Terra nods before he turns back at Yang.

"As from what Ruby told you...Summer was attacked by Salem, the day she died. And that she took her life, to prevent her Maiden powers from being taken."

Yang nods. "Pretty much. Why?"

"...I...um..."

Yang now looks worried. "Qrow? What is it?"

"Just tell her, Qrow!" Ruby exclaims, as she lifts her head, angrily looking at Qrow.

"I'm getting there!" Qrow exclaims back, before calming down. He looks back at Yang, before continuing. "Summer wasn't alone, when she died. I was there too."

Yang looks surprised, upon hearing this. "What?"

"Yeah." Qrow said. "I was there. Fighting Salem, alongside her. We fought hard. And we held our ground for an hour. But Salem was too powerful, even with Summer's powers. And she was starting to beat us. Summer knew that even if we fled, Salem would've caught up. And she knew, that her powers could be taken. And we had no other options."

"What are you saying?" Yang asks.

Ruby stands up and walks to a counter, resting her hands on it. Yang sees Ruby doing so, before turning back to Qrow, now looking sad.

"...I killed Summer." Qrow said.

After a couple seconds, Yang's eyes go wide in shock. Blake looks at Yang, with a worried look.

"She was afraid. Scared to do it, herself. Summer tried to take her own life, but couldn't." A single tear falls down Qrow's eye. "So, she begged for me to do it."

Yang grips the side of the table.

"I couldn't. I didn't want to. But, she said there was no other option. And she was right. I took the knife from her...and after a long hesitation...I killed her. And in doing to, prevented Salem from taking the Fall Maiden's power."

Yang's grip becomes tighter, making small cracks appear.

"I know, that even though she wasn't mother, Yang...but you loved her, like she was. And I can understand, if you want to be angry with me. Or maybe you just don't want to speak to me, anymore. After all...why would you want to speak to your step-mother's killer?"

Yang quickly stands up, knocking her chair down. Blake slowly backs away, seeing the former's hair glow. When she lifts her head, her eyes are red, tears falling an evaporating. She stares at Qrow in anger.

"...I'm sorry."

"You lied to us!" Yang exclaims. "For years, you lied to us. To Dad. To Ruby. To me!"

Qrow lowers her head. "I know."

"...Did Raven know?"

Qrow nods. Yang angrily grabs the table and throws it aside, causing it to shatter on the wall. Blake tries to hug Yang, but she is forced away. Yang turns and walks out of the room. As she walks outside, she stops. Ren and Nora, who were nearby, sees her expression and walk to her.

"Yang." Nora said. "Are you okay?"

Yang doesn't answer Nora, just staring at the ground. Ren turns and sees Terra, Qrow, Ruby and Blake exit the rest area.

"What's wrong with her?" Ren asked.

Ruby crosses her arms. "Family problem. You don't need to know anything."

Yang then turns around to look and Ruby. "How long have you known?"

"...Months." Ruby answered. "I've known for months."

"I see. Is there anything else, that he told you?" Yang angrily asked. She turns to Qrow and points at him. "How can we be for sure, that he's not hiding anything else, from us?"

"I don't, Yang." Ruby said.

"Exactly." Yang said. "If he's hiding other secrets...maybe we shouldn't trust him, anymore."

"Yang." Terra said. "Please calm down."

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" Yang screams.

"HEY!" Qrow yells back. "Don't you yell at her!"

Growling, Yang charges at Qrow, who readies himself. But her punch is stopped by a blade. Yang turns and sees that it is Jaune blocking her attack. Jaune then forces Yang to back away, standing in front of Qrow.

"That's enough!" Jaune exclaims. "You are out of control, Yang. We only got here, and you already want to cause trouble."

"Get out of the way, Jaune!" Yang yells.

Jaune stares at Yang, before talking. "If you're going to hurt him, Yang...you're going to have to hurt me as well. Because the pain, you're feeling right now. It's never going to go away. And hurting people isn't going to help at all."

Jaune raises his shield and readies himself.

"So, I would suggest you leave. Find somewhere private. Take in everything, Qrow told you. And maybe when you come back, you'll be calmer."

"Wait." Blake said, surprised. "You knew, too?"

Jaune turns to Blake. "Who do you think, was the one to convince Qrow to tell Ruby, in the first place?" He turns back to Yang. "So, what's it going to be, huh?"

Yang angrily stares at Jaune, her fists clenched. But after a few seconds, her hair stops glowing and her eyes goe back to normal. She then turns and walks away, with Blake following her. Jaune sheathes his sword and looks at Qrow.

"You should've told her, months ago." He said, before walking away, himself.

Qrow sighs, before looking at Ruby. "She took it better than you."

"Maybe." Ruby said. "But I hate to say this. But, Yang's right."

Qrow is surprised.

"We can't keep trusting you, as long as you keep secrets from us, Qrow. So, if there's anything that you need to tell us...just do so."

"I ain't got nothing else to hide." Qrow said. "Even if I was drunk, I'd still tell the truth."

"I hope so." Ruby said. "Because if I or Yang find out that you, indeed, have been keeping something from us...then prepare for a fight."

Ruby begins walking, passing the confused Ren and Nora, and entering the rest area.

"I hope this doesn't interfere with our mission." Nora said.

"Trust me, Nora." Terra said. "It won't."


VILLAGE ENTRANCE

Yang sits on the wall, near the entrance of Solis village, anger in her face. Blake stands nearby, watching Yang with a worried look. She sees that Yang is beginning to shake, and crouches next to her.

"Go." Yang shakily said. "Just...go. I need some time alone."

Blake places her hand on Yang's face, feeling the wetness from the tears. "Are you sure?"

Yang nods her head. "Yes, please."

Blake then takes her hand and holds Yang's. She then nods.

"Okay." She said. "There's a fountain in the center of the village. Meet me there, when you're ready."

Releasing her grip, Blake stands up and begins to walk. Yang slowly turns and sees Blake entering Solis. Now all alone, Yang starts to softly sob.

Nearby Solis, she watches Yang from a distance, hiding next to a large boulder. Cinder turns and smiles.


END OF CHAPTER 7

Hey, guys. Sorry for the long delay. I do hope you enjoyed this new chapter. Could be a while, before Chapter 8 will be up. But, it'll be there soon. Also, the next chapter will be titled "Betrayal".

So, some of you wanted to know why Ruby was hating on Qrow. Well...there's your answer. Sorry if you feel disappointed, but this is what I wrote. But, I did enjoy the theory, you originally thought. Just imagine if that happened in the real show. Maybe it will happen. Maybe not. We'll just have to see, next Volume.

Also, Oscar finally appears. I decided to add him, after Volume 4 ended. How big his role will be, I will work on later. Until then, hope to Chapter 8 coming soon. Later.
