Hey, hope you enjoy chapter 22.
Vernal, few hours ago.
"Ruby, I got this you go on ahead." Vernal said.
"Yeah, Ruby run away this shouldn't take long." Emerald called out to Ruby as Ruby entered the secret room.
Vernal got into a fighting stance, just as Emerald released her blades so that it was now a whip with bladed edges. She spun around and hit Vernal hard. Vernal managed to bring her blades up just in time. As soon as the two blades connected sparks went flying, and Vernal was thrown into a nearby window, the window cracked under the pressure.
Emerald followed up with her attack and kicked Vernal through the glass. Vernal did a back flip and landed safely on her feet. Vernal threw one of her circular blades at Emerald as she jumped through the window. The blade hit her square in the chest and she fell down on to the ground, Vernal then tried to stomp on Emerald's head, but Emerald rolled away. Emerald got up and tried to swung her blade at Vernal again.
Vernal moved out of the way and slid between Emerald's spread legs, as she slid through she slashed the back of Emerald's knee with her only circular blade left, tearing through all the unprotected ligaments. Emerald fell down to one knee, and before Vernal could do anything, Emerald faded away in Vernal's vision. "Neat trick, but it won't do you any good." Vernal said as she heard some shuffling footsteps behind her. Vernal turned around and punched the invisible Emerald in the face.
Emerald fell down and reappeared again in Vernal's vision. Vernal followed up and kicked Emerald in the head, Emerald's eyes moved to the back of her head and crumpled to the ground.
"Okay, now to find Ruby, and her friends." Vernal thought. As she started moving back toward Schnee manor. Vernal was halfway back to Schnee Manor, when she saw a line of men carrying Ruby's friends. "Oh shit." Vernal said. "Change of plans. I need to figure what was going on." Vernal thought.
Vernal then spent a long time sneaking around, trying to find out what was going on. She managed to sneak into the basement of Schnee manor, without any one noticing. Vernal was walking down a long hall way, when she heard a familiar voice scream "NOO!" Vernal went to the room where the loud scream came from and opened the door just a little bit so that she could see what was happening in that room.
Weiss
BANG!
Weiss sat confused for a second as her brain processed the scene before her. She scanned the line of friends before her and realized that other then some cuts and bruises they were completely fine. Weiss looked at her father who had his arms outstretched, he dropped his pistol, and as it hit the ground another round went off with a BANG! The bullet bounced around the room, sending sparks every where it hit. Jacque slumped over and fell on his back, a single circular blade protruding from his back. Weiss then realized that the door was open and standing by the the door way was a girl with short black hair, and blue eyes with a strange tattoo on one of her arms. The girl immediately sprung into action and cartwheeled over and grabbed the circular blade that sat in Jacque's back. Once she had grabbed it she sprung herself into the air and threw one circular blade to the guard closest to Ruby.
"Vernal!" Yang said cheerfully as she stood up and began to fight all the guards in the room with Vernal. Soon everyone joined the fight, Weiss saw Ruby in the corner of her eye, her attacks seemed slower and she was also clutching her waist with one hand. "Well she has been shot in the thigh, of course her attacks are slower. But, still it seemed to be extra slow." Weiss thought.
After the fight was over, Weiss realized a really important thing, her father was gone, a trail of blood indicated where he was going. "Go Weiss we got this." Yang called out to Weiss as she saw exactly what Weiss had seen a few seconds ago. Weiss ran out of the room, following the trail of blood.
Weiss had followed the trail of blood to the roof of Schnee manor. Weiss saw her father standing at the edge of the roof. "So this is it, this is how you die. You're going to kill yourself." Weiss called out to her father.
"Well. You have ruined our company, and after all of this you will probably ruin my name and my reputation." Jacque said as he turned around.
"Oh, I am going to do a lot more then that, when we get out of this." Weiss said. "You tried to kill my friends and you threaten the woman that I love."
"Weiss, grow up. She does not love you. I love you, I taught you everything you know. I love you more then she ever could." Jacque said as he pointed at himself.
"No, you didn't, you thought of me as an investment, and for the longest time I did think you loved me. But, then I met Ruby and she showed me what is liked to be loved, and not the bullshit that you fed to me since my birth." Weiss said.
"Weiss, you were supposed to be the next CEO of one of the biggest company's in the world, and you are throwing it all away." Jacque said.
"I love, Ruby and I would give up my life for her. So giving up some stupid company is exactly what I would do for Ruby." Weiss snarled.
Jacque seemed to be extremely hurt by Weiss's words. "Fine, do as you wish." Jacque said as he stepped back and fell off the roof.
Weiss ran over to the edge to see, her father lying on the ground, a small pile of blood forming underneath him. Weiss sighed with relief, and ran off to find Ruby.
As soon as Weiss had entered the room, she knew that something was wrong. An unconscious Ruby was lying in the corner of room. Weiss rushed to go look at her, but Yang tried to stop her, Weiss pushed through her. She sat by Ruby's side and grabbed her hand. Weiss quickly scanned Ruby's body and gasped in horror as she saw blood rapidly coming out of a gunshot wound in Ruby's gut. "Oh god, Ruby." Weiss said. "We need to get here to a hospital."
Will Ruby die?
