Before you start the chapter I would like to point out that reviews means that this story gets continued other wise I'll focus on more of my other ideas (which can be viewed on my profile page)
Thank you to the new reviewer Xyland. As far as how your character can fit into any of my stories, I may be able to fit Whitefire in the RWBY story if it gets continued otherwise I'm not sure when. (For those of you who are wondering Xyland is actually a friend of mine who knows a little bit about the Shadow Wars series (but only a little))
Finally BEFORE YOU READ please take notice that my Twitter account Lord_Vortrex receives regular updates as to what I am up to in the FanFiction world and will reveal more details than what appears in my stories, so feel free to follow me there for more updates!
Chapter 5
Phantom's Deal
Junior's Club ~ Interior
Junior, Sun, Blake, Yang, &… You know what I don't care about the thugs either…
Blake, Yang, and Sun stared at Junior in a shocked silence. "What's the matter with you three? You all look as if you got hit by a train."
Sun looked at Blake and asked, "Do you think she knows?"
Blake snapped at him, "Of course she knows! It's her family!"
Yang grabbed Blake's shoulder gently, "We all have our secrets. How long did you keep your big secret from us?"
Blake just eyed Yang coldly while Junior stood up, "That's all the time I can give you. I have an important guest coming in an hour so I need you three to leave."
Blake was still shaking with rage but Sun and Yang helped her up. Yang turned towards Junior and said, "Thanks for the info."
As they walked towards the door Junior said, "Blondie, if you keep your little visits as quiet and calm as this one then you're welcome back anytime."
Yang waved as she walked out, somewhat happy that she hadn't blown a hole in the wall. Nobody noticed the small girl holding a parasol across the street, staring at them curiously.
Beacon Academy ~ RWBY Dorm
Team RBY + Guest
As Yang opened their dorm room door, Ruby leaped on top of her causing them both to tumble onto the floor.
Ruby looked feral, especially with Zwei sitting happily in her hood, discreetly chewing on what seemed to be a Beowolf eraser. "No more…" Looking past Ruby, Yang noticed papers scattered across the room.
Blake, ignoring Ruby and Yang completely, walked briskly into the room. "Where's Weiss?"
Upon Ruby's continuation of grappling with Yang, which was keeping both of them from talking, Blake moved over to them and roughly pulled Ruby off of Yang. Zwei leaped to safety as Yang grabbed Blake's arm. "Blake! You've got to calm down!"
"No! This is too important!"
Surprising everyone in the room (including Zwei) Yang enveloped Blake in a large bear hug crushing the breath in her and her anger. "Better?" Yang asked as she released her.
"…Yeah." Blake absentmindedly started picking up the random pieces of paper strewn about the room while Ruby just looked on in confusion.
Yang tapped Ruby on her shoulder and asked, "Ruby do you have any idea where Weiss is?"
Ruby shook her head saying, "She left half an hour ago after she got a call on her scroll."
"Do you know what it was about?"
"No, she threw me out of the room… literally. Why?"
Blake answered before Yang could respond, "Because the Schnee family is in control of the White Axis Rose."
"WHAT!"
Yang sighed, "Oh relax. We were all thinking the same thing when we found out that Blake had been a member of the White Fang."
Blake stopped for a moment. She looked sad and seemed to be deep in thought. Slowly and solemnly she said, "You're right but what matters right now is that we find her."
"Well if it's alright with you three I've got to get back to my team, I sort of owe them all dinner…" Sun said sheepishly. He then happily leaped out the window, muttering about a stupid bet much to the bewilderment of the girls in the room.
Ruby looked from Yang to Blake, "He does know that we have a door, right?" Blake just shook her head tiredly, not bothering to give an actual answer.
A knock on the door interrupted their thoughts and Ruby quickly opened the door. Pyrrha Nikos stood there with a shocked expression as Zwei barreled into her (having abandoned the poor eraser on Yang's bed in tiny pieces).
Zwei easily knocked the surprised Pyrrha over; and happily began licking her face. Laughing and stuttering she attempted to push Zwei off of her only to end up laughing even harder. Carefully Yang picked up Zwei off of Pyrrha in order to let her catch her breath.
Shakily Pyrrha rose to her feet, "I didn't know that we could keep pets in the dorms." She paused for a second then cautiously said, "Please don't tell Nora. I fear she'd try to keep an Ursa as a pet."
Ruby giggled, "Alright, though I think she'd rather have a Deathstalker. Don't you think?"
Pyrrha paled, "Please don't joke about that. I still see that one from the Emerald Forest in my nightmares." She shivered. "It literally came out of nowhere. Plus it had so many legs…" She shivered again.
Blake shook her head, "What did you come here for, Pyrrha?"
"Oh, right. Do any of you know why Weiss was so upset? I passed her outside a little while ago, she looked like was really worried about something."
Ruby opened her mouth to speak only to have Yang quickly cover it with her hand. "Sorry, we don't know right now. But we do plan on finding out why." Blake nodded agreeing with Yang. "Did you happen to see where she was going?"
"I heard her muttering something about a ship."
"Are you sure she was talking about a boat?" Blake looked rabid, probably thinking that Weiss was leaving entirely.
"Well I'm pretty sure at least, why?"
"Don't worry about it. We just need to talk to her."
Pyrrha didn't pry any deeper and watched the three of them leave a moment later, almost certainly heading for the docks. She turned again facing the room as Zwei began running in circles. She couldn't help but laugh as he tripped and went rolling into a closet.
Junior's Club ~ Private Party
Junior's Group, Neo, & Phantom
A young woman with long silver hair walked through the door, wearing a mixture of black and purple armor. The armor was composed of dark violet plating with a black cloth-like material showing at her joints and midriff. There was a violet belt buckled securely at her waist, on the center of the belt was a strange eight-pointed star with an emerald colored 'X' and four black diamonds on it. On her back were twin sheathes which seemed to house plain ninjatos, and an extremely large shuriken. Her piercing violet eyes scanned the room before settling on four individuals, already awaiting her at a table in the center.
The table's occupants included Junior himself, his two wards Miltia and Melanie, and surprisingly a small girl with multi-colored hair. Junior seemed indifferent about the meeting though more than wary of the young girl sitting across from him. Melanie seemed to be bored and didn't look too happy, while her twin seemed to be excited at the change of pace. The small girl was clutching a parasol rather tightly; she seemed to be nervous though her face displayed a calm yet sadistic aura. The young woman smirked and approached the table.
"You all may call me Phantom, and I am here with a proposition for you all." She stopped speaking to judge their expressions, though none of them really changed… at least on the surface.
Junior was the first to respond as he stood up, "I'm not interested in any more criminal business. I've got enough trouble with that blond girl coming in here every time she has a question about the underworld."
Phantom regarded him before saying, "Then you're in luck, the business I have with you is purely legitimate business anyway. I am familiar with everyone's opinion of the… Grimm and I'm proposing a sort of battle arena, fully funded of course. All you have to do is house it in the basement here. You keep the majority of the profit while at the same time looking out for those with exceptional combat abilities."
Junior sat back down quietly contemplating the proposition. "I don't think housing Grimm will help with city relations at the moment, especially after they somehow got into the city last week."
"I wouldn't worry about it. Present it the right way and people will be begging you to open. After all who wouldn't want revenge on the creatures that have been tormenting us for as long as we can remember? But don't worry about containment; my master is very familiar with containing creatures like these Grimm." Junior nodded, silently humming to himself, starting to like the idea. Phantom then turned to the twins, "You two… well I'll admit I don't really have many plans regarding you two other than becoming the premier for the Arena. But if you have any requests then I'm all ears."
Melanie scoffed, while Miltia seemed to be contemplating something. "Do you mind if I get back to you on that?"
Phantom nodded than said, "Of course, you'll all be paid handsomely regardless. My master has no shortage of gold." Melanie's eyes seemed to light up for a second before quickly assuming their original disinterest. Phantom then turned towards the table's fourth occupant. "As for you, part of your payment is actually part of the job. I need your uncle as an ally in order to accomplish my goals, and I'm certain he'd be happy with how much my master is willing to pay him." The girl looked towards Phantom with pleading eyes, it was clear that she just wanted her only family back. Phantom smiled reassuringly and said, "Well then, I welcome you all to the Dusk. I'll be in touch, come Neo, we have plans to make."
So here we see the beginnings of the plans that the Dusk have on Remnant. The way I have Phantom's character set up is that she is very formal when anything is connected to her master (The leader of the Dusk) and tends to be more friendly with those younger than her.
THE FOLLOWING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
Here we reach an impasse, I still have five more chapters for this story but I will NOT be posting anymore until I get an additional four reviews for this chapter. I am also considering just jumping over to my other project, that anyone can view on my profile.
RIGHT NOW On my profile there will be a poll asking which story that you all would like me to focus on primarily.
