(Flashback at Beacon with Blake and Ozpin)

"What should you choose Blake Belladonna? Kill Weiss, Kill her parents? Kill even more people?"

"I don't like how you leave this mess to me… you know what I'm going to do." Blake crossed her arms. "In case you don't know, I saw how you dealt with Weiss, don't play tricks on me."

"Oh what are you talking about, hahaha..." Ozpin slid to the side in his office chair. "I see you're interesting to see what Weiss had choose?"

"What happened in Atlas."

"Many things happened Blake, you know quite a few didn't you." Ozpin's grin as he knows what Blake is thinking. "With Weiss Schnee, you know what's up."

"And you are offering me to go after her." Blake sounds more suspicious. "You are one creepy old man Ozpin."

"That's not the point Blake." Ozpin sighs as he spins in his office chair. "Why couldn't you understand?"

"Why would you think I will go after Weiss after I know it's an obvious trap set by you…" Blake decides to leave. "I have other things to do, bye sir."

"Well because there's something in Atlas you need." Ozpin playing with the keycard. "You know like maybe information about Adam and such."

"I know what you were saying," Blake would feel her anger getting on her. "Adam is dead, nothing more."

"I don't know Blake, wouldn't you want to find out yourself at Atlas? Here's easy access to the local communication tower, maybe you can find out what ha-"

Blake stops and Ozpin would pause to see her interesting reaction.

"You want to end it all, don't you Blake..." Ozpin clearly knows what's up.

"I DO IT." Blake looking at both of her hands, her past is getting her, how many lives had she taken away and Adam knows it all. "But I don't guarantee stuff."

"Well I will tell you this." Ozpin holding his hand. "If Weiss Schnee dies, you won't be able to get what you want."

"Why."

"You'll see." Ozpin shakes his head. "You make the final call."

"Just kill me! What are you waiting for?" Weiss teasing Blake. "End everything, and Atlas will be fine, your mission will succeed, you fucker!"

"No." Blake slowly lowered down her gun. "I almost get fooled by you, you're not Weiss Schnee."

"What are you talking about, I'm We-" Blake shot Weiss again and again and again, blood painted the floor, but for some reason Weiss is still alive.

"Who are you." Blake and the other White Fang members surround the Weiss doppelganger, some shocked to see the girl started to laugh.

"Blake! You can't forget me right?!" The disguise wears off as the girl finally shows her true self.

"Ilia… you shit." It's the former member of the White Fang Blake could remember, vanished with Adam. "Where's Adam!"

"You can't find him, he's not going with you anymore hahahaha…" Ilia coughs as some blood keeps splitting on the ground. "You are insane Blake, you help Atlas for what! You dumb fuck!"

Blake shot at Ilia again in the chest. "Don't think I would forget you lying into my face."

"Ah hahaahahha, so what now?" Ilia laughs maniacally. "How do you know I'm not that princess, it seems you two are getting too friendly huh."

"Weiss never calls me Blake Belladonna, and before that you don't seem to react too much when I call you… Weiss Schnee." Blake reloads her pistol.

"Hehe, I thought I really get you this time… it seems I were tricked."

"My highness, do we kill her?" asked one of the White Fang members, as he could feel there's not a good vibe to let her alive.

"Leave it, I have killed her three times before, she always comes back." Blake stepping in the elevator. "She can't die under normal consequences, better let her suffer to death."

"You're just a sadist Blake, Don't you think you can get away, you know I will come for you!" Ilia moaning with her pain. "...you are not going to make it…"

The other White Fang members would see Ilia continue to laugh until her death, soon left the tower following their queen, only to find out Blake is watching the quiet but sanguinary scene of the far view at the streets, riots are happening.

"I have lost." Blake's voice feels weak. "It always ends like this, Adam is still... no one gets a happy ending…"

"…we should leave now."

"Why? My life matters more than yours?" Blake learning the hard truth. "It's all over, be gone."

"We'll never abandon you, we joined the White Fang because we know what's right and what's wrong, you always told us that."

"Well the truth is it's now all over." Blake aims her guns at her own men. "If you guys don't kill me, you'll die, choose."

The men pause, instead of choosing to shoot Blake they only standstill, some afraid.

"...no sacrifice, no reward." Blake didn't know when she had become the cold-blooded killer she has always criticized of before, she feels as if she had become the next Adam, the next leader, the next "big thing" she's going to do.

Now with more blood on the ground, Blake would soon see Ruby is watching her from a distance, she's on the pathway to the tower.

"Blake, I don't think what you do just now is right." Ruby forcefully smiles as she would feel rejected on seeing dead people as soon she arrived. "What do you even archived with all of this?"

"Nothing." Blake isn't too shy as she tasting some of the blood on her hand. "Unlike you Ruby, I was cursed, people hate me, people like me, the latter is what I made them to be, I'm bad, really bad."

Ruby's smile fades away. "You're not a monster Blake."

"For what." Blake ready her blades. "You're the silver eyes warriors, aren't you? Heroes of Remnant! What am I to you? A joke?"

"No." Ruby smiles. "You're one of my friends remember?"

Ruby using Weiss's rapier as she cast a magic array the size of the village upon the area, Blake could see the ground is brightly lit with white and silver, brace herself on the ground, she isn't expecting Ruby to use Weiss's spellcasting ability.

"What the-"

"I'll make things right! You'll see!"

The people and the guards fighting on the street would soon stumble on this mysterious warm and bright lights below them that feels warm and chill, soon their anger disappear as their wounds being healed, the death came back to alive, as Ironwood confusing to see a girl that he didn't know off running away, and she seems mad.

"Where am I…"

Blake falls to her knees as she sees Ruby just did the impossible to save everyone in the area, but soon she realizes Ruby is vanishing with roses petals coming off her.

"You'll die if you continue on!" Blake realizes and warns. "The legends I know end with them fading away, you can't do that, you're still young!"

"Nah it's going to be fine." Ruby childishly laughs. "It's good to see you in this face."

Blake now realizes she's smiling, she didn't know why but soon Ruby disappears from her sight, now looking around and seeing the clear winter night, it's almost like nothing happened before.

"Good riddance… What am I doing now." Blake feels as if she finally had relief after all these years, now laying down on the snow, the moon lights remind her of some very few good memories, tears of unknown can't stop coming out of her eyes, she hasn't felt any emotion like this for a very long time. "...thank you… thank you."

"That fucker." Ilia ready her hidden blade. "How dare she still laugh!"

"Not today." Yang quickly stopped Ilia as she would soon recognize her as the one who disguised as Weiss, with the real Weiss soon arrived to see Yang capturing the criminal, and her rapier in the middle of nowhere.

"What happened." Weiss taking back her weapon, realized the last wave of rose petals faded away to the side. "...did she."

Blake didn't answer Weiss, as she soon fell to her dreams, feeling as she was being reborn, she didn't care too much for others to see her acting sloppy.

"Did Ruby die?" Yang was asked by Weiss on their way back to Beacon, this time on an airship.

"Who knows, I still can feel her presence around."

"Don't take this the wrong way, I'm sorry for your loss." Weiss's answer made Yang a bit surprised.

"Well umm… how do I say this, Ruby will come back for sure, I just didn't know when." Yang tries to explain.

"Do you want medical support from my doctor?" Weiss tilted her head. "I feel for you."

"I'm fine princess, gosh I know it sounds crazy but she's that little sister Ruby! Nothing makes sense around her!" Yang tries to argue but soon calms down. "She's probably hunting inside the woods while she's still at it."

"Hey Belladonna, stop reading your books! Aren't you worried about Ruby too?" Weiss crossed her arms.

"Is this the way you talk to someone who's trying to save your kingdom from civil war, princess?" Blake returned her cold reply.

"Hah! Let's see how long you can act cocky while I have all your pictures that night."

"It's useless princess, I have them all deleted." Blake yawns as she just finished her book.

"Belladonna!"

Yang looks out the window as she guessed her little sister might be out there somewhere, little did she know, Ruby is just above her head on top of the train.

"Hehe… that dummy will never find me."

"Are you sure about that?" Yang's sudden fist punch straight through the ceilings making Ruby squeak. "Hey come back!"

"Seriously sis! How do you know I was here!"

"You always hide in the same location! How come I never know!"

"Miss! Please don't make holes on our train please!"

Ruby doesn't care too much as she keeps dodging her sister chase, being even naughtier than before, the smiles on her face isn't going anywhere soon.

(End)
