RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth
Ruby sat with Blake on the couch and waited for Yang to come down. She knew Blake would need a wingman to try to calm Yang down, and who better than her own sister. Twenty minutes later, Weiss came down the stairs. She was surprised to find Blake looking depressed and Ruby looking worried beside her.
"What happened?" Weiss asked.
Ruby explained the situation to Weiss as Blake seemed to sag under a heavier weight while Ruby spoke.
"She'll come around" Weiss said "you know her temper, she will cool down after you explain."
Almost an hour later, Yang still hadn't come back downstairs. Weiss looked up from her newspaper and at the clock.
"I can't remember her ever avoiding us for this long" she said.
Ruby shot Weiss a quick dirty look. She knew that statement wasn't going to help Blake at all. She looked at Blake and saw that she was almost in tears.
"Blake" Ruby said "she'll come around once you explain everything. Trust me, I kno-"
"I don't want to lose her trust again" Blake interrupted "it took a lot of time and patience to gain it back last time. Talk to her for me? Please? I…I can't lose her trust again. She might not forgive me this time if she thinks I was leaving her alone again. I can't lose her Ruby, I can't. Please?"
Ruby took Yang's scroll from Blake and read the notification again.
"I'll try" Ruby said.
She stood up and patted Blake's shoulder.
She walked up stairs to Yang's room and knocked on the door and timidly said "Sis?"
"Yeah?" Yang said through the door.
Ruby slowly pushed the door open and found Yang sitting on her bed with her head in her hands.
"Sis?" Ruby said "are you ok?"
"I…I thought she changed" Yang said into her hands "I thought she would keep her promises this time. I thought she wouldn't just run out on us."
"She wasn't leaving" Ruby said "she was just going to wait outside."
"How do you know?" Yang asked as she looked up.
Ruby saw Yang's eyes were red and slightly puffy with tears running down her face. Ruby held Yang's scroll out towards her. Yang just gave her a confused look.
"Just look at it" Ruby said "please?"
Yang sighed and took the scroll from Ruby's hand and opened it. Her eyes widened as she saw the notification. She opened the message from Blake and her tears started flowing again as she read it.
"No" Yang said "I falsely accused her a…and blew up on her for no reason. She must hate me." Yang let the scroll to the floor as she put her head in her hands again. "I…I blew it di…didn't I?" Yang asked between sobs "I knew it…it was too good to…to be true."
"No" Ruby said "she's just as upset as you are. You should go talk to her."
Yang picked up her scroll, looked at it and said "as much as I want to bring her up here and talk to her, we don't have time, for Nora's sake we have to leave very soon. We'll have to talk on the way."
Ruby looked at the time on her scroll and gasped "get dressed" she said.
Yang quickly got dressed and ran downstairs.
She ran into Blake and said "I'm so sorry, Kitty Cat. I'm so, so sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that."
"It's ok" Blake said "given my history in these situations, you had the right to assume that I might leave."
"No" Yang said "I should have trusted you more. I should have talked to you instead of screaming at you and throwing that cup at you."
"That was you?!" Weiss asked.
"No Sunshine" Blake said ignoring Weiss "I completely understand. I shut you out sometimes and I've been known to run away when the going gets tough."
"Sorry guys" Ruby said "but we have to go, now!"
"Let's go then" Yang said "we'll talk on the way and when we get back."
"If we get back" Blake said.
"When" Yang said.
"Come on" Weiss said.
Ruby ran outside with Weiss. She put her arm around Weiss' waist and they disappeared in a blur of white and red. Yang and Blake ran to Bumblebee.
Yang sat on Bumblebee and handed Blake a new dark purple, full head helmet with cat ears on it and 'Kitty Cat' on the side and said "thank me later, let's ride."
"I don't need ears on my helmet" Blake said as she climbed on the bike "I already have them."
"No" Yang said as she started the engine "those are spots for your ears so they don't get sore."
"Oh" Blake said "thanks."
She put the helmet on and pulled the visor down. Yang put on a new, yellow full head helmet with 'Sunshine' on the side. She opened the throttle, burning rubber for a second before the bike took off. Blake yelled out directions to the warehouse over the engine and wind. Yang weaved in and out of traffic and through alleys. She skidded to a stop in front of the building and found Ruby and Weiss waiting for them. They got off the bike and took their helmets off. Blake handed hers to Yang and she put them both on Bumblebee's seat.
"Ready, girls?" Ruby asked.
"Ready as we'll ever be" Yang said.
All four of them shared a group hug, then Yang gave Blake a quick kiss.
"Let's go get Nora" Ruby said.
They cautiously walked into the warehouse and began to look around.
"Stay alert" Weiss whispered.
Suddenly, all the lights came on revealing a figure in a blood red hood and cloak and a huge disk against the wall behind them. Ruby took Crescent Rose off of her back and extended it. Blake drew Gambol Shroud from the sheath on her back as Weiss drew Myrtenaster and rotated the cylinder to ice dust. Yang extended Ember Celica on her left wrist as the gun barrel came out of her right arm. The cloaked figure held up a remote and pushed a button. A loud buzzing sound came from the disk behind them. Suddenly their weapons began moving towards the disk.
"It's an electromagnet!" Ruby yelled.
Crescent Rose was pulled from her hand and clanged against the magnet. The extra ammunition was ripped from her corset and followed Crescent Rose, Gambol Shroud and its sheath quickly followed. Myrtenaster was the last of the weapons to hit the magnet. As Ruby, Weiss and Blake got ready fight hand to hand, they heard Yang groaning like her muscles were straining. They looked and saw her trying to keep herself from sliding towards the magnet as her arms were pulled behind her. Her boots finally lost their grip and she flew backwards. Her robotic right arm clanged onto the magnet, trapping it down by her side. Ember Celica hit the magnet right next to her left ear with her arm bent against itself, making it impossible for her to move her arms or slip her wrist out of Ember Celica. She tried to detach her right arm, but while her mechanical arm was touching the magnet it acted like a magnet itself. The metal bracket on the stub of her arm seemed welded to the prosthetic due to the magnet, making detaching her arm impossible.
Yang struggled, then sighed and said "I'm stuck."
"That's ok Sis" Ruby said "we'll take care of this guy then we'lmmph."
The figure had raised a strange plastic gun and fired a sticky substance at Ruby's face, sealing her mouth shut.
"RUBY!" Yang yelled.
Ruby tried to pull it off, only to find that not only was it impossible to remove but now her hands were stuck to the substance as well. Sealing them to her face and rendering her arms useless.
"Now then" the figure said "I've taken away your weapons. I've taken away your muscle" he motioned towards Yang "I've taken away your strategies by silencing your leader and eliminating any hand signals you have. I've taken away your secret weapon by taking away Schnee's dust" he pointed to Myrtenaster on the magnet "Now I'll take your lives!"
The figure threw its cloak off revealing Adam Taurus.
"No" Blake said.
"How are you not dead?!" Yang yelled.
"Well" he said "you both missed all my vital organs. Both blades miraculously went between my heart and lungs. I went for the river that day because I was hoping it was cold. My lucky stars must have been watching over me. The river was ice cold, which constricted the blood vessels and slowed the bleeding. I took my jacket off to rid myself of any White Fang symbols. I washed up in a little faunus village. Luckily for me, they had a healer. She nursed me back to health, which gave me ample time to come up with a revenge plan. When I left the village, I ran into a lady with one eye and a similar condition to Yang there. The difference is that instead of robotics, she replaced her missing arm with grimm somehow. She said she had been looking for me, she helped me set this up and gave me this" He drew a stone version of Wilt, his beloved sword, from a plain sheath on his side. It looked like it was made of lava rock. "She only had one condition, I have to deliver Ruby to her alive. So, hand over Blake and Ruby and I'll make it quick and painless for Yang and Schnee, well Yang anyway. What's it going to be? Your move."
With Ruby and Yang stuck on the sidelines, Weiss turned to Blake and asked "what's the plan?"
"Fight" Blake said as she raised her fists "better yet, kill him. For good this time."
"MLAPH! WIEMMP!" Ruby mumbled as she kicked a few loose boards towards them.
Blake grabbed two shorter boards, one in each hand. Weiss grabbed one longer board and spun it around.
Adam laughed and said "at least this will be slightly entertaining."
"I'll follow your lead" Weiss said quietly.
Blake nodded and rushed Adam with Weiss close behind.
