MotherUniverse is back with a new chapter of Guns and Roses!

This chapter is where the plot really starts getting kicked into motion, not just with set-up and character introductions. Be prepared for some action sequences! But they won't be that descriptive because I suck at writing action sequences. Also, as a fair warning, this chapter might be a long one, but it should make up for the previously short chapters.

Disclaimer: RWBY will never be mine, I can assure you all of that.

And without further ado, on with the show!

Chapter 4: The White Fang Trap

A train raid. Another damn train raid. She hated these missions. There where always people on board, and Adam always felt the need to blow the train up afterwards. She would give him every reason not to; she would beg him to spare the train, to leave it alone, to stop killing the people on it, but seldom did he listen. She tried her best to save people, sometimes going as far as to deactivate the bombs herself, but there where times when Adam was able to get away with killing others. And Blake hated it.

She pleaded with Adam not to make her raid the train with him, but he told her he needed his best teammates. Then he made some speech about how he could only trust her to watch his back, and Blake found herself agreeing to going with him. She hated being unable to say no to him. She hated that she still wanted to watch his back, and that, even though she saw nothing of her childhood friend in the man she currently worked with, she still wanted to be around him.

Her logical side told her there was no way to drag Adam back from the monstrous path he was taking. Her emotional side told her otherwise. She would lie to herself over and over. She wished she had the sense to listen to her head, her logical side, but over and over, she would prove to herself that she didn't.

Cinder Fall, their new informant, had told them that Team Nikos planned to ambush them on their train raid, so, to avoid capture, she told Adam he should only let the best of his men help with the heist. That meant Blake, a Lieutenant of theirs, a few high-class foot soldiers, and Adam himself.

The crew assembled stood on a hill as the train drove by. Upon Adam's signal, everybody jumped onto the train, landing with a slight pound. They climbed off the roof, and entered the boxcars one by one, staying on their guard in case Team Nikos trap was sprung.

"Be careful," Adam instructed, "We don't know where Nikos is hiding, so we have to be prepared. We can't let ourselves get caught"

The crew opened up the dust freights, and started unloading their contents into bags they had brought with them. Blake started doing the same to her own create, as Adam unloaded the create next to her.

"Your not gonna blow up this train as well, are you?" Blake muttered miserably.

"I wasn't planning to. But Nikos is on this train," He explained, "It would be a good opportunity to keep them out of our hair"

"Adam!" Blake snapped. "We agreed. No more bombs"

"You said no more bombs" Adam corrected. "I said it depends on the situation. Nikos and her team have been a thorn in our side since they started receiving cases regarding us. It's only a matter of time before they mess up something important of ours, or take one of our better men into custody."

"Nikos's team is made up of well-liked people who have done the public good. They saved lives of Fanus's and Other's alike. If we kill them it will only make things worse for the Fanus community as a whole" Blake reasoned. She would bring this point up when Adam got ahead of himself, or fell into one of his violent, kill-spree rages. It usually got him to stop. Usually.

"I guess your right. I won't set a bomb on them. But if I do see Nikos in her team I will not hesitate to shoot them" Adam explained.

Blake nodded. She hoped for more, but she would expect nothing less.

At first, Ruby was excited about the prospect of hiding out in boxcars and waiting to ambush criminals. It sounded like the greatest, most exciting thing ever. However, crouching behind cargo create's for hours while waiting for your opponent to actually show up was one of the most boring things ever.

"When are they going to show up?" Ruby moaned.

"Just wait" Said Yang. "They'll be here eventually"

True to Yang's words, the White Fang came walking into the box car room.

"Be careful" A man said. He had messy red hair, and was wearing a black and red suit, along with a classic White Fang mask. "Of all the cargo on this train, the stuff in here is the most important. Nikos will most likely spring her trap from here,"

"How did they know about the trap?" Ruby whispered in concern.

"It doesn't matter" Yang whispered back. "We can still spring the trap anyways. We might end up against something harder than we need, but we can do this"

"What's in this place anyways" Said the voice of a girl. Ruby saw Yangs interest peak at the sound of her voice.

"What is it Yang?" Ruby asked curiously.

"That woman," Yang said, gesturing to the black haired woman standing besides Adam who just spoke. "She almost sounded like a... girl"

"Well, woman are technically—" Ruby whispered to her sister.

"That's not what I meant." Yang interrupted. "I meant she sounds young. Like a kid"

"Well, I heard rumors that one of the higher-up's wasn't a legal adult yet. But I thought those where just rumors" Ruby replied back. "What's in these boxes anyways?" Ruby asked Yang, however Yang didn't need to answer her.

"Bullets made from dust" The leader told the younger girl. Ruby bit her lip. This wasn't good.

"What!?" The younger one snapped. "Adam, do you know how lethal those are!? If someone's hit with those bullets, even in places that would only give superficial injuries, they'll die from radioactive poisoning entering their blood stream! We can't use those!"

"And why not?" The leader, now known as Adam, said back, calmer than his young partner, but in a menacing tone.

"We have to stop killing people. What we do goes against the Fanus religion, and it makes the Other's fear us. Taking lives won't get things done"

"And I don't give a damn!" Adam snapped. "It may not get Other's to like us, but that won't matter once the Other's are no longer ruling over us. What we do may go against everything we believe in, but it's a damn good way to make change. Now start loading the bullets"

Ruby looked to her sister, who had been watching the conversation with a contemplating look. "Yang?" Ruby questioned.

"What the hell was with that?" Yang whispered, almost to herself. Yang shook her head, probably to force herself back to reality. She then drew her gun out and aimed carefully at one of the White Fang member's unloading the creates. Their guns where full of darts that would knock the enemy unconscious, that way they could take at least some of them into custody. There where only six people there, Adam, the young girl, a big guy, and three other average-looking foot soldiers. Yang aimed at the big guy. While Yang wasn't as good at marksmanship as her sister, she could still aim pretty well. Yang pulled the trigger.

The loud sound of the gun going off signaled the other hidden members of Team Nikos to start their attack.

The dart soared through the air, nearly hitting the large lieutenant. However, one of the soldiers pushed him out of the way, and got hit with it herself. Yang gritted her teeth. She was hoping to take down the big guy.

Ruby and Yang jumped out from behind their creates. Across from Ruby and Yang's position, Ren and Nora did the same. At the back of the room, where the White Fang just came through, three other police men charged through the door, and at the other side, two policemen, along with Pyrrha Nikos herself, entered through the doors as well.

One of the White Fang's foot soldiers grabbed their unconscious teammate, hoisted her over his soldier, and shot a bullet at Pyrrha. Pyrrha dodged it easily.

Ruby's stomach swelled in excitement. She would finally be able to see the Great Pyrrha Nikos in action.

"Knock them all out!" Pyrrha commanded. "Don't let them near the exits" Pyrrha then ran directly for Adam.

The police men the team had brought with them were taken out pretty easily, but they weren't hurt that badly, so Team Nikos didn't worry too much about it.

Ren went for the foot soldier who wasn't holding his comrade. He was a lean, well-muscled man, and stood at least three inches over Ren. Ren ran at him to throw the first punch, but his opponent dodged it with a step to the side. However, the hand Ren was planning to punch the man with instead gripped the side of a create in front of him. Using his legs to propel himself, Ren hoisted himself into a perfect handstand, whipped out his gun and shot at his opponent a few times. His opponent quickly jumped behind a create to avoid being shot by bullets. Ren then landed his feet on a create above, his hand still in hand-stand position, and he used all three limbs (the forth held the gun) and propelled himself forwards. He landed on the create his opponent had taken refuge in, and shot another dart. His opponent leaped away from it in a panicked jump. Ren then aimed for his opponents new spot. When his opponent managed to dodge that, Ren pulled a second gun out, and chased his opponent around with a hail fire. Eventually, both guns ran out, so Ren tossed them to the side, and jumped at his opponent, catching him in a tackle. The two began to wrestle, trying their best to punch each other. Ren's opponent suddenly pulled out a gun, aiming it at Ren's face. Ren quickly jumped off of him to avoid being shot.

Nora went for the big guy. Nobody would expect anything less. Nora was crazy, sporadic, and fought like the ancient berserkers of old times; she would go crazy, and cause mass destruction. Nora ran up to him, stopping inches in front of him. She grabbed her gun and pointed it at his forehead. He grabbed it from her hands and tossed it to the side. Nora was hoping he would do that. While he turned his head from her for a slight second, Nora used that time to run to the side, climb up a create, jump up, and smack him on the head with her fist before her opponent even knew what was happening. He threw a punch at her, but then she grabbed his arm, and held on tight. Her opponent tried to shake her off, but she just wouldn't let go. He would sometimes lift her high enough (in a struggle to get her off) that she could reach his face, and when he did, she would punch it. This went on until her opponent finally managed to grab her by her shirt collar and throw her off. She nearly landed on the wall, but she instead aimed her feet for it, and propelled herself into him. Her head impacted with his stomach. Nora landed on her feat, and her opponent fell backwards, landing on his butt. Nora's head ached, but she was used to this pain, as she had used her head as a weapon often when fighting.

Ruby went for the guy holding his unconscious friend. Ruby couldn't help but feel she got the easy guy, but it was her first time in the real field, so it was ok. Ruby kept her distance; her greatest talent was with a gun, so she would use this to her advantage. She aimed carefully, and tried to shoot. Ruby hadn't missed a target since she was eleven, and she planned to keep it that way. However, when her target moves, that's a whole other count. Most of her bullets where dodged, and, sensing her uncomfortableness to get close, he would move towards her, trying to force her into combat. Ruby would dodge and duck his punches, using her gun in attempt to hit him and force him to step back. However, there where times that her opponent couldn't get away from Ruby's bullet, but when that happened, he would use his unconscious teammate as a human shield. Ruby didn't like that. To make it worse, Ruby kept getting distract it by her teammates awesome fighting skills, and often forgot she was fighting her own opponent.

Yang went for the black-haired woman. Partly because Nora had stolen her intended target (she wanted to fight the big guy!) and also partly because she was curious about this woman. When Yang approached the black haired girl, the first thing she did was size herself up. She was taller than her by a few inches, but she could tell this girl (or woman, Yang wasn't sure at this point) was taller than Ruby. Maybe she wasn't as young ask Yang thought. But then again, Ruby was pretty short...

"Tell me something, squirt" Yang said to her opponent. She decided, until learning her actual name, she would call this girl 'squirt' in her head. "How old are you, anyways?"

Squirt tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean by that?" She asked.

"Your tone of voice, it doesn't sound old. And I saw you talking to that Adam guy earlier. You still hold the idealism of a young person. Or at least someone who never took a college social studies class" Yang slammed her fist together. She then went to throw a punch. Squirt rose her leg up, meeting Yang's arm. Her body was leaned back, to far for Yang's fist to reach her. The two stayed in this position for a second.

"You're legs are long" Yang commented. "There was a time in my life when I wished for long legs"

"You talk a lot" Squirt observed.

"Thank's for noticing!" Yang said joyously. Talking while fighting was not only entertaining, but a good way to distract your opponents. And Squirt had been paused long enough for Yang to notice that the girl was keeping balance by leaning her leg on Yangs arm.

Yang drew her arm back, causing Squirt to tip over a bit. Her foot landed on the ground, and the girl stumbled, her back facing Yang. Yang grabbed Squirt by the jacket, pulled her back, and secured her into an arm lock. Yang grabbed a sedative from her pocket, prepared to inject it into Squirt, when her opponent lifted her leg up, landing the heal of her boot right between Yangs legs. Yang let go of Squirt, holding the spot and doubling over in pain. The sedative dropped onto the ground.

"They tell boy's to watch this spot yet they don't tell girls!?" She yelled out in frustration.

Yang looked up to see Squirt stop on the sedative, crushing the glass with her boot and making it unusable.

"You fight dirty" Yang said, almost impressed.

"And you don't?" Squirt countered.

"Good point" Yang ran forward, ready for the punch. Squirt stepped out of the way, and grabbed Yangs other arm, and twisted it behind her back. Yang turned around, untwisting her arm. And used the fist caught in Squirts hand to grab her by the sleeve collar and pulled Squirt towards her. Yang was about to let her fist smack Squirt's face, but Squirt ducked, and brought her knee to Yangs stomach. Yang didn't let the pain overtake her, however. Instead, Yang wrapped her arms around Squirt's leg when she doubled over, and then pulled on it, bringing Squirt to the ground. If only Yang still had her sedative. But it looked like she would have to do this the hard way. Squirt got up before Yang could do anything however, but her attention wasn't on her opponent. Instead, she was looking over at Adam, who had somehow loaded his gun with dust bullets, and was now about to shoot it at Pyrrha.

Earlier, when everyone first started attacking, Pyrrha had stayed at the back. She was pregnant, and while pregnancy wouldn't be a hindrance in the fight for a while, Pyrrha didn't want to risk her stomach being hit. While the detective had confidence she could avoid a blow, there was no reason to take unnecessary risk. And while Pyrrha hated staying out of the fight, she knew her team could handle it.

It was only after all the police men she had brought with her had either been knocked out or shot in the leg's that Pyrrha joined the fight. At least the police they brought with them where talented enough to keep themselves from getting killed, but Pyrrha still regretted bringing them along. The only one without a fighting partner was the apparent leader, who Pyrrha knew to be Adam Taurus.

He eyed Pyrrha. She immediately got into a fighting stance. Adam came to her.

He was walking slowly. Then he sped up a bit. Pyrrha mentally prepared her self for anything. He then took out his two guns and aimed them at her. Pyrrha did the same with the two guns she had kept with her. The two shot at each other. The bullets collided in midair. Small puffs of smoke and a small burst of sedative was the result. The two continued their gun fight, shooting each other's bullets, and using the cargo to their advantage. Pyrrha jumped from cargo to cargo. Carful not to shoot unless necessary. When she did shoot, it would always collide with a bullet, causing smoke and a burst of the yellow-colored sedative. The fight looked magnificent. Almost artistic.

"You are so awesome!" Ruby yelled from where she was trying to balance out watching the fight and keeping an eye on her own opponent.

"Ruby, focus!" Pyrrha demanded, adverting her attention from her battle for a second. Two bullets nearly hit her head. She was able to dodge, but one bullet nicked the very tip of her nose. It was just a surface scratch, only drawing a little bit of blood, but it gave Adam an idea. If the same thing had happened with a dust bullet, Pyrrha would've been dead from radioactive poising in the matter of minutes.

Adam quickly jumped behind a cargo pile, using the numerous create to hid himself, and eventually sneak inside of one, and load himself up.

Pyrrha meanwhile searched for her opponent, keeping alert so that he couldn't jump the gun on her (both literally and figuratively). Eventually, Adam sprang up from the box cart, and shot both his guns at once. Pyrrha quickly turned around and shot back. The bullets collided, and, along with the burst of yellow liquid, as a small explosion similar to a firework.

"ADAM!" Snapped a voice. Both opponents turned to see the black haired woman glaring at him (well, Pyrrha assumed it was glaring from the tone of voice, but the woman was wearing a mask).

"Not now, Blake" Adam snapped.

Blake, as they knew she was now called, suddenly ran at him, grabbed on of the guns and threw it to the side.

"Wait, what's going on?" Yang asked. Pyrrha just shrugged.

Suddenly, Adam hit his younger partner in the cheek his the butt of the gun.

"OW!" She shrieked out.

"It's about time you stop your idealism" He snapped at her, raising his gun and pointing it at Pyrrha. Pyrrha was about to shoot back, only to realize her guns had ran out of bullets.

"Other's and Fanus?" Adam continued, "We will never get along"

Before he could shoot, however, Pyrrha threw one of her empty guns at him, and it hit him in the head. He stumbled back, falling into the hallway, and dropping his gun. However, unfortunately for Team Nikos, he landed right near the door.

Adam opened the door up, yelling, "Come on! Let's go!"

The lieutenant rammed his way through, clearing a path for the rest of the White Fang members to leave. Everyone left their fights, running out the door. Blake, however, stood near the door, rubbing her cheek, not moving. Adam gritted his teeth, grabbed her by the wrist, and pulled her out with him, saying, "Come on, let's go!"

The next part of the train was just a platform. "Jump off!" He shouted.

The first one to jump was the free handed foot solider, then the one carrying his teammate. Then the lieutenant.

"Come on, Blake!" Adam said.

"You hit me!" Blake snapped.

"I'm sorry, now we gotta go, or we're gonna get caught!"

"You said you where sorry when you killed someone for the first time"

"I won't hurt you again!" Adam told her. "I promis!" He held out his hand, a genuine smile on his face. "Come on. Let's go. We'll jump together"

"I'd like to believe you" Blake said sadly. "But you always break your promises."

She then walked forwards, but instead of taking his hand, like she always had in the past when she debated just staying on the train and letting herself be taken into custody, she pushed him as hard as she could, and he fell off the train, and onto the ground.

Blake stood still. She clamped her fist and gritted her teeth. It took all she had not to bail out, not to jump off the train and run back to the White Fang. But she knew she was making the right decision. She just needed the courage to follow through with it.

Team Nikos came out to the platform. Blake simply raised her hands in the air, and shouted, "I'm turning myself in"

Team Nikos stood in shock for a second, before Pyrrha shook herself out of it, and said to her team, "Um, go cuff her"

Nora pulled Blake's hands behind her back, put handcuffs on them, and gripped a firm hand on Blake's arm. Meanwhile, Yang decided to see if her suspicions where correct. Yang yanked the mask off of Blake's face. She looked like an average Managuan; her black hair full of beach waves, sharp, yellow eyes, and remnants of an old tan that had long since faded, most likely because Vale had a consistent weather of cloudy. But her origins where of no matter to Yang.

"I was right about you, squirt" Yang said with a sad smile, upon looking at Blake. Everything about her was young. Young eyes, young face. "You are a kid"

Ruby was somewhat shocked to see this. "How can a kid join the White Fang?" She asked Pyrrha.

"Both Fanus and Managuans alike live through racism, harassment, and unfair living conditions," Pyrrha explained, in a voice of pity and sadness. Pyrrha hated the prejudice the Fanus had faced, and wished for a change. "I don't blame the White Fang for wanting to make change. However, the way they are doing it just isn't right"

"Do you think this Blake girl can help us with our case?" Ruby asked.

"She doesn't seem to like the White Fang, or what they do. I saw her. She doesn't want the kind of change the White Fang are trying to bring." Pyrrha smiled. "I think, with her help, we can wrap up this case pretty quickly"

AND DONE!

So, awesome fight scene. I hope I wrote it well. Feel free to leave a review, and tell me what you think!

I was initially planning to make this chapter longer, but because of poor planing on my part, I needed to cut it here. The rest of this will be next chapter, which will be coming up in the next two weeks!

As a general note, with the current plan, this book should have around 15 chapter's. I'm also planning to make a few sequels, depending on how the plot turns out. But let's just see how it goes!
