Chapter 1
Wrath of the Valkyrie, part 1
Lie Ren's POV
Lie Ren suddenly wakes up with a startled expression on his face. He takes a few seconds to gather his surroundings. He seems to be in a dimly lit room laying on an old military cot. He rubs his eyes as he tries to figure out where he is and how he got there. He tries to get up, only to feel a sharp pain shooting through his legs. He pulls the covers off of his body and notices that his legs are both wrapped in cloth, with a pair of wooden poles secured to each side of both of his legs by duct tape as a makeshift splint.
"Oh good, you're awake!" A cheery and familiar voice says from the darkest corner of the room. After a few seconds, his childhood friend, Nora Valkyrie emerges from the shadows. Ren quickly realizes that something is horribly wrong with her though. Her hair is disheveled, her clothing is torn up and there's a trail of dried blood running down the left corner of her lips. Her eyes seem far more wild and unfocused than they usually are. "I was worried I might have hit you a little too hard while we were trying to escape from Weiss and Ruby. Oh, and I'm sorry about breaking your legs, I just needed to make sure you couldn't run away." She continues.
Ren stares at the girl in alarm as he realizes the full scope of what is happening. "Nora, listen to me, you're not feeling well, we need to get you to the infirmary now." He says. Nora just laughs in a far more maniacal tone than usual. "What are you talking about Rennykins? I've never felt better. Now that you're here, I can finally get everything I want and there's nobody who can stop me!" She says before she heads for the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few things I need to take care of." She says before she leaves the room. A loud clunking noise goes off as she locks the door behind her.
Nora's POV, 3 hours earlier
The two teams sit in silence as they process what they just heard over the news. Yang lets out a nervous chuckle before she says "Hey, P-Money, how about we have a sleep over tonight? You and Nora can come over her and Ren and Jaune can have some guy time." Pyrrha turns to Yang with a slightly confused look on her face. "Okay..." She says hesitantly. "But what brought this up?" Yang starts to panic a bit, but Weiss manages to come in for the save. "Well, it's just that we don't get to spend much time together outside of lunch and class. Ruby gets to be around you both more often since she is always hanging around Jaune, but I think we could all use some time to get to know each other." The Heiress says.
After a few tense seconds, Nora finally shakes out of her weird trance like state and says "That sounds awesome! We can get together and watch movies until we all fall asleep. Ren and Jaune could use the bro time anyway. I'm a bit of a handful so I think Ren could use some time off anyway." She says. "That sounds lovely. I could use some time away from the boys anyway." Pyrrha adds on as Nora's infectious attitude rubs off on her. "Great! We should probably send some people out to gather supplies. Ren can go get whatever the guys need and Blake can pick up our stuff. They're probably the least likely of us to get distracted after all." Ruby says. They all agree on their plan of action as they split up for the day. Blake and Ren head out the door moments later. Nobody seems to notice the dark expression that appears on Nora's face as she watches the two quiet hunters leave. "Opps, I think I forgot something in my room, be right back." Nora says before she dashes out the room behind them.
Blake's POV 15 minutes later
Blake and Ren are walking toward the Bullhead when they run into Nora. Her face is pointed toward the ground, with her eyes hidden by the shadows. She looks up and notices the two coming her way, so she puts on a big smile. "Hi guys! How's it going?" She says cheerfully. Ren just sighs as Blake looks at her strangely. "Hey Nora, did you need something?" Ren says as the girl skips her way to the duo. She stops right in front of them and stares at them silently for a few seconds. Ren seems unaffected by her behavior, but Blake is a little creeped out. "Nope, you already know what I need for the sleep over so there's nothing wrong on that front. I just needed to tell you something." Nora says happily.
A pair of pink hearts flashes up in her eyes as her demeanor suddenly shifts to that of an angry psychopath. "You think I don't know what you're up to?" She asks quietly as her facial expression turns to pure rage in the blink of an eye. "You're trying to take the love of my life away from me!" She says in a whimsical but terrifying sing song voice. Ren and Blake are both shocked by her sudden change. "You can't stop me though. Nora always gets what she wants!" She continues as her voice slowly transitions from sing song to a borderline animalistic growl. "But if you insist on getting in my way? Then I won't have any other choice." She says, switching back to the terrifying sing song. Her eyes narrow to needle points and her face turns to a completely neutral expression as she leans in towards the duo. "I'll rip out you're intestines with my bare hands and force you to jump rope with them until you bleed to death." She says in a completely emotionless tone.
Another flash of pink hearts appears in her eyes and she quickly goes back to her normal perky self. "Bye bye guys, have fun in Vale!" She says before she skips away. She pokes her head from around the corner she just turned with pink hearts in her eyes yet again before she angrily says, "Just not that kind of fun." She reverts to her normal self again and leaves the two completely shocked hunters standing there.
"Blake?" He asks the disguised cat girl, who turns to him with wide eyes. "Did you see those weird hearts in her eyes too?" He continues. Blake nods. "What was that?" She asks. Ren suddenly remembers something he read in the news a while back. "It's Y-2! She's infected!" He says in alarm. "Blake, go let one of the Professors know what's going on. I'll go back to our friends and let them know what's happening." Ren says. The two nod in agreement before splitting up, completely unaware that the girl in question was watching them the entire time.
Blake's POV, 20 minutes later
Blake runs through the halls desperately searching for one of the teachers when she manages to spot Professor Goodwitch at the end of the hall. "Professor!" She screams, grabbing the woman's attention. She arrives in front of the woman and takes a deep breath before going into a panicked, broken spiel. "Nora- bullhead- pink hearts- yandere." Blake manages to get out before Goodwitch interrupts her. "Ms. Belladonna, take a second to catch your breath before you speak." She says. Blake manages to catch her breath before she says "Nora came up to me and Ren as we were about to head to Vale. A pair of pink hearts flashed up into her eyes and she started talking weird. She said something about me trying to take the 'love of her life' away from her. She told me she was going to 'rip out my intestines and make me jump rope with them.'" She says, leaving the Professor as alarmed as Blake is. "Ren seems to think she has the Y-2 virus." She concludes.
Goodwitch's eyes widen in terror as she realizes just how much damage a school full of mentally unstable Hunters in training could do. "Ms. Belladonna, I need you to go down to Vale and find some place to lie low for a little while. We don't want to take the risk of her hurting you. I'll round up the Professors so we can find her and bring her into a quarantine room. We cannot allow this to spread." Blake nods as she heads out again. Glynda turns around and starts to call Ozpin as she heads for his office. Neither of them seem to notice the pair of turquoise eyes watching them. "All according to plan." Nora says before she climbs into a nearby vent and heads for Team RWBY's room.
Ruby's POV, 15 minutes later
Ren burst into the room, startling Ruby and Weiss with his sudden entrance. "Hey! You can't just barge in like that! What if we had been indecent?!" Weiss screams. Ren ignores the heiress and says "Nora has Y-2!" Silencing any further objections from the Ice themed girl. "Are you sure?" Ruby asks with wide eyes. "She threatened to disembowel Blake in front of me, I'm sure." He says, alarming the two girls. "Well don't worry Ren, we'll prot-" Ruby says before she is interrupted by something falling out of the ventilation shaft. Nora jumps over to Ruby and slams Magnhild into the side of her head, knocking her out cold. "RUBY!" Weiss screams as the pink bomber turns her attention to Weiss. The heiress notices the pink hearts in her eyes and grabs Myrtenaster. "Nora, I know your sick, but I can't allow you to take Ren. Just give up and we can get you some help. Ruby won't hold your actions against you." She says. Nora lunges toward the Ice girl, but she uses one of her glyphs to sidestep the strike and slashes at Nora. She only manages to cut her skirt in the process as Nora quickly reverses direction with a grenade and slams her hammer into Weiss' stomach, sending her flying toward Ren and knocking them both out. Without saying a word, Nora grabs Ren and disappears.
Yang's POV, 2 hours and 17 minutes later
Yang, Jaune and Pyrrha enter the trashed room of Team RWBY, having just gotten back from a sparring session. "RUBY!" Yang screams in a panic as she rushes to her unconscious sister. Weiss begins to stir as Pyrrha checks on her while Yang is dealing with her sister. "Weiss, what happened?" Pyrrha asks as she checks the girl for a possible concussion. "Nora..." Weiss says weakly. "She has Y-2." She continues as Pyrrha's and Jaune's eyes widen. "Ren came here to warn us, but Nora got the drop on us. She slammed Ruby in the head with Magnhild before turning on me. I tried to fight her off, but she hit me in the stomach and knocked me into Ren." Weiss concludes.
Yang's eyes widen upon hearing that as well. "Yandere Hammer Girl? That's a recipe for disaster. Ren's not here so I assume she got what she came for." She says as Ruby starts to awaken as well. "Mama?" Ruby asks before she looks at Yang and snorts. "Weiss, why are you wearing my sisters clothes?" She says. "RUBY! Are you ok? How many fingers am I holding up." Yang says as she raises three fingers in front of her face. Ruby quickly shakes off her confusion and yells "Ren!" She turns to her sister and says "We have to go save Ren, who knows what Nora might do!" Ruby says. She tries to get up, but she's hit by a sudden bout of vertigo. "Nuh-uh sis. You ain't going anywhere right now. Jaune, take care of my team mates for me. Me and P-Money need to go find Nora." She says, getting a nod from the Knight. Pyrrha and Yang leave the room and start running down the hall. They don't even see the turquoise eyes watching them from the hall way vents. "Crap, gotta hurry." The bomber mutters before she begins crawling faster.
Yang's POV, 15 minutes later
Pyrrha kicks in the door of an old closet and finds Ren lying in a bed. "Ren, thank Monty we found you!" She says. Yang walks in behind her and looks at the silent man's legs. "Holy crap! Nora really did a number on you! If this is what she does to her crush, I'd hate to see what she'll do to her enemies." Ren looks over to Yang in alarm. "Yang, you don't get it, Nora doesn't have a crush on me! She captured me to make sure I couldn't interfere." Yang and Pyrrha look at Ren in confusion. "Seriously? I know boys can be dense sometimes, but I'm pretty sure this is text book Yandere behavior. You break their legs so they can't run away." Yang says. Ren just sighs before he says as Glynda Goodwitch came in behind the girls.
"Trust me, I'm sure, Nora isn't interested in men Yang, she's a lesbian." Surprising Pyrrha and Yang. "But Blake said Nora threatened her in front of you." Professor Goodwitch says. Ren shakes his head. "She wasn't threatening Blake professor." He says, leaving the three women stunned until a light bulb went off in Yang's head. "Oh heck no!" She says before rushing out of the room.
Nora's POV
"There you are, my precious little Kitten." Nora says as she watches Blake drink her tea at a nearby cafe.
A/N: Well, there we go, chapter 1 is done. What? Were you expecting me to turn Nora on Ren? Where's the fun in that? Don't get me wrong, I'm as big a Renora fan as everybody else is, but like I said last time, I wanted to shake things up a bit. Thus, I decided to go with Blake instead. This isn't meant to be a serious fic, so I feel I can get away with some unusual pairings. Still can't believe I managed to write this in a single day though. I'm probably going to try and have the conclusion for Yandere Nora up sometime this Thursday. As always thanks for reading and feel free to leave a review.
