Chapter 3
Yang stopped in her tracks. The guy who was standing right in front of her was gone. She looked left just in time to see him pull a gun out of his holster and fire a single shot, yang had to shield her eyes from the bright blue flash. When she looked back she saw something she hoped to never see again, the boy was pinned to the rocks with a nevermore feather through his stomach. Parts of his guts were splattered all over the rocks behind him. She saw him go limp, and assumed the worst then he got back up and snapped the feather off his stomach and behind him, then he fell limp to the ground. Yang and Blake rushed to him and picked him up and started carrying him towards the school. Yang looked back to see ruby and Weiss stark white with the color drained out of their faces. "Ruby WE NEED TO LEAVE! We can't stay out in the open." Yang yelled. This pulled Weiss and ruby out of their trance and they ran over and helped pick him up. The journey back to beacon was interesting, they were attacked by Grimm on 4 different occasions, and were still being stalked even up to the schools walls. This could be contributed to the fact that this guy that they were carrying was bleeding profusely, and some of his internals were strewn all over a mountain. Their breathing was ragged and ruby and Weiss had cuts and everyone's aura was either in the yellow or red. They stumbled into the infirmary and handed him off to the nurses. Ozpin and Goodwitch were right there, "are you all ok, and who that is?" Goodwitch asked with genuine concern. Team RWBY just stayed on the floor panting. Yang raised her hand "we found this dude at the crash site, and he got stabbed with a nevermore feather and we brought him back here" yang panted breathlessly. "Do you know who he is, or why he was at the crash site?" Ozpin asked "by the looks of things he was your shooting star so to speak." Weiss said from her position laying on the floor. "Well we will have to see when he wakes up". Ozpin said.
Colin
When Colin woke up he was in a strange place, it was a hospital by the looks of it. He looked around further and saw the same 4 girls who he saw earlier. "Hello, how are you" Colin asked the nearest girl, short and dressed in red. "Oh hi, my names ruby. What's yours?" "I'm Colin, nice to meet you ruby, thank you for bringing me some place safe, I assume." He said, his voice raising to question tone. By this point all of the others had noticed that Colin was awake. "So you're awake, do you remember what happened. Or how you got here?" The girl in white asked. "Yes I do, you might want to take a seat it's a long story." Colin recounted the entire story about falling out of the sky, saying instead that he fell through a portal and lost all memory from before. But the rest of the story was true and accurate to the smallest detail. "Wow, you took one heck of a beating during that time. How are you still alive?" asked the quiet girl in dark clothes in back. "Yes I took a beating, and I have no idea." Colin responded. During this time a nurse came over and added something to the saline drip. Colin finished his sentence then stopped, something felt off. "Nurse, what did you add to my saline drip?" he asked cautiously. "Ooh, nothing much. That's what we give to everyone." She responded. The odd feeling Colin was experiencing started turning into a very not nice, very uncomfortable, hot feeling. "No nurse I need to know what you gave me!" Colin said in a very serious and urgent tone. "It was an injection of sulfacetamide, why?" she asked puzzled. "Shelia, is that a chemical that I am allergic to?" Colin asked already knowing the answer. "Yes, I recommend immediate transfusion to stop cascade combustion effect. Scanning for available donors. 13 available, closest is the girl on your right in red." Sheila responded. Everyone looked at ruby "uuuuuhhh, what does that mean" ruby asked. "It means I need your help right now. NURSE, get me a transfusion kit." Colin yelled. The nurse ran off to get the kit and Colin looked back at the group. "I know this is a lot to ask of you considering I don't even know you, but if you don't help me I will die." Colin said "I also need you three to hold me down, use the straps on the side if you have to. The chemicals she used are going to cause combustion in my cells." Just as he said this he started holding back his screams of pain as he started shaking and the reaction began to set in. "HOLD ME DOWN!" He screamed in between his screams of pain. The nurse had just come back with the transfusion kit, and she stuck one needle into Colin's shaking arm and looked to ruby for confirmation. "I'll do it" ruby said defiantly rolling up her sleeve. The nurse put the other end of the needle into ruby's arm and started the transfusion. Colin was still shaking and screaming as his veins started glowing form the chemical reactions. "Ruby, don't take the needle out, even if I die I could explode." Colin said gritting his teeth. He started losing control again and the shaking and screaming resumed. "Sheila, am I going to make it?" Colin asked his AI after regaining control for a moment. "Your chances of survival are 0%, sorry sir. There is nothing I can do, I can't even dull the pain." Sheila responded sadly. Colin looked straight at the girl in dark clothing. "I need you to shoot me, I CANT STAY IN CONTROL FOR VERY MUCH LONGER." Colin screamed looking directly at the girl. While her friends were struggling to hold Colin down. "I don't want to burn to death." He said, trying to control the screams and shaking. Blake pulled her weapon and looked at it, she hesitated and Colin used his free right hand, still being held down by ruby to grab Blake's weapon and put it to his forehead. "DO IT, JUST DO IT. IT WILL SLOW THE REACTION, I DON'T WANT TO EXPLODE AND KILL YOU!" Colin shouted. Everyone looked at Blake, Blake looked at this man who was willing to die to save her and her friends from a very bad fate. He let go of the weapon, closed his eyes and mouthed a silent thank you. Then Blake pulled the trigger.
