Chapter 4: The Mercenary and the Rose

Tony found himself on his desk, tired from all the work he was doing and homework too, his feet were over the desk, arm crossed and a magazine resting on his face. Tony was fast asleep, lately the demon attacks demon attack increased in number making the number on the marp jump from three to six. The attacks had the same pattern, in the outskirts or in the border of the city, maybe he is thinking too much.

"TONY!" Someone screams and slams the door from Tony's room

The scream and door slam wakes Tony instantly, it also scares him making him fall from his chair backwards hitting his head in the ground. Tony takes the magazine off his face, still feeling dizzy to see Ruby standing by the door frame with a big smile and a metal tray.

"Hey little red hood" Tony says annoyed "Next time, knock on the door first"

"Sorry" Ruby chuckles.

"Ah whatever" Tony stands up rubbing the back of his head "What's up?"

"Well, I made cookies and wanted to share them with you!" Ruby says with the big smile again.

On the metal tray there were indeed cookies, chocolate chip cookies. Tony was about to grab one but remembered that Ruby always, always ate them and didn't share them, this was a trap.

"What's the catch?" He says crossing his arms

"What? A catch" Ruby starts laughing nervously "I wouldn't never do that, i just want to share the cookies that i made"

"Right, just sharing the cookies" Tony says full of sarcasm while sitting on his bed "So, what's the catch? you aren't sure if they are good?"

"No, they are good, i did the taste test and everything" Ruby answers quickly then sits at Tony's side "Is just that…"

"What's bothering you Ruby?" Tony puts his hand over Ruby's shoulder.

"Well…is just that everyone is busy today and I'm bored" Ruby finally says pouting.

"Wait, everyone is busy?" Tony raises an eyebrow "What about your sister?

"Yang is training" Ruby "Our styles doesn't mix in training so we barely train together"

"What about Weiss?"

"Studying" Ruby deadpans.

"That girl is always studying" Tony shakes his head "And let me guess, Blake is reading"

"Yup" Ruby deadpans…again.

"I'm surprised she doesn't read when asleep"

"Same!" Ruby starts laughing "That would be creepy thought"

"You don't say" Tony stands up and picks his jacket

"Where are you going?" Ruby says worried

"To watch a movie and you are coming with me" he says giving her a smile.

Ruby followed Tony after she ate the cookies. She was excited to say the least, Tony was a fun person to be around even though he was a bit troubled in Ruby's mind, so this was good for him to relax. Watching a movie with him served two purposes for Ruby, the first one to take the boredom away and the second to take some weight off Tony's shoulders; it was a win-win scenario and Ruby was all about it.

Tony and Ruby got into town without their weapons…except Tony, he managed to sneak his guns. It was a day off so there were a lot of people walking around and traffic; Tony was wishing that they stretched their legs instead of going in his bike, it was a tactical mistake on his part. Soon they arrive at the movie theater, they find a parking spot and get off to then walk into the movie theater.

"So, what are we going to watch?" Ruby asks with a smile.

"I dunno" Tony walks to the movie posters to see what on "Well, there is this Kung Fu movie, Wrath of the fist"

"Oh, there is also this monster movie!" Ruby exclaims pointing to the movie poster "Grodilla! Looks cool!"

"There is also this one" Tony points to another "Juan Machete"

Both of them looked at the poster, it had a picture of a zombie farmer with a cowboy hat and a machete with the lettering in red.

"Looks like a horror movie, sweet" Tony laughs.

"I'm…not good with horror movies…" Ruby admits.

"Realy?" Tony said surprised "I thought you were one of those who likes them"

"It's not like I'm not interested…I get scared easily with those movies especially when there is a big audience" Ruby seemed embarrassed.

"Don't sweat it" Tony smirks "What about if we watch the other two movies then, we got plenty of time"

Tony drags Ruby and buys tickets for the two screenings, then drags her around to watch the movies. Of course they stopped to buy popcorn and pizza; Tony's popcorn was the normal one, with cheese and Ruby's was the caramel ones, with extra caramel. The first movie they watched was Wrath of the fist, it was your typical Kung Fu movie of revenge. The main character was part of a dojo owned by his father but the dojo was raided by one of the most powerful dojos in the world.

The main character was killed in the raid and then He trains for ten years in his dojo's style, perfecting it. After ten years of suffering and training he goes into the world looking for revenge for his family, there was one scene where he fights two hundred students. The climax of the movie was a duel between the head of the dojo, his father's killer and the big twist of the movie is that they are twins when he removes his mask, at the end he kills his twin and gets married with the chick he meets at the middle of the movie.

Then they watch the monster movie, Grodilla. The main character of the movie was a big monster named Grodilla. It was a dragon-like wolf that was created in a laboratory. The experiment went wrong and Grodilla grew extremely big and started wreaking havoc around the world, they sent the military after him and got him quite injured. After the battle the world decides to leave Grodilla to die from the injuries and because they lost a lot of soldiers. A little girl finds the big monster and befriends it with kindness, threatening him not as a monster but as a friend, understanding that he never got a choice, the world decided to make him a monster.

The big climax of the movie is that another big monster appears and starts wrecking even more havoc than Grodilla ever did and it was heading into the girl's town, Grodilla sensing that his friend was in danger jumps into action, saving the girl and her town from a certain death, the battle was brutal but Grodilla ends saving the day changing everybody's perspective and he becomes the guardian of that town.

"That…was…AWESOME!" Ruby raises her hands excited.

"Yeah, really fun movie" Tony nods in agreement.

"Yeah, compared to the first one who was really generic" Ruby scoffs, she didn't like the first movie.

"Yeah, but i remember you on the edge of your seat and cheering in the two hundred versus one battle" Tony points out that fact

"It was the only good part!" Ruby exclaims "Also, I forgot about that girl, I mean, how much screen time did she get?"

"Like ten minutes?" Tony grunts "She honestly was a forgettable character"

"yeah…so what do we do now?" Ruby asks with curiosity, it was still early to return.

"Well, I know an ice cream store close from here, maybe we could get some strawberry sundae?" Tony says a bit hungry.

"The one in front of the dust store?" Ruby asks to which Tony nods "Awesome, after that i'll need to buy some things there"

"Sounds like a plan to me" Tony grins.

They go to the ice cream store and of course, they get strawberry sundaes and sit down at a small table together with Ruby by the side of the window. They continue talking about the movies they watched for a while until they run out of talking material, creating an awkward silence.

"So…" Tony starts thinking of what to talk now, he isn't used to this.

"Yeah…" Ruby thinks the same as Tony.

"Well, you asked me about my upbringing before" Tony says getting an idea "How was yours?"

"Oh, yeah, my dad and mother were hunters, really good ones, the stories I've been told were awesome" Ruby says with a sad smile.

"Did I step in a landmine? I feel like this is a touchy subject" Tony says, noticing the sad smile on Ruby's face.

"Well, my mother died when i was young, she went to a mission and…"Ruby's voice cracks a bit "...Never came back"

"I'm sorry Ruby…" Tony wanted to find a hole and hide, he did step on a landmine.

"It's okay, it happened a long time ago, I was really, but really sad when it happened. Every night I wanted to see my mother but that was impossible…but she's the reason that I wanted to become a huntress, uncle Qrow also helped, he trained me himself" Ruby's eyes were filled with determination.

"Uncle, your mother's brother or father's?" Tony asks with curiosity.

"He's the brother of Yang's mother" Roby smiled again but the smile was also sad.

"I see" Tony said "I won't push the matter, i think i've stepped enough landmines for a day"

Both of them stay in silence, Tony cursing his luck but understanding what Ruby felt, he's been there too and Ruby staring at Tony in silence, for some reason talking with him made her feel better, probably because they had the experience of losing someone.

"Sorry if i ruined the mood" Roby apologizes.

"No, it's fine, i'm partly at fault" Tony said trying to comfort Ruby

"It's just that…It's easy to talk to you" Ruby confesses.

"I could say the same" Tony sighs "I keep things to myself but with you and Weiss, I just find myself talking and talking about myself"

"We have a good effect on the other" Ruby giggles then turns around to watch the window.

Ruby for some reason, started thinking more about Tony, thinking that he is a pretty cool guy and aside from the funny trash talking that he does, she can find he has a heart even though it's really hurted. Ruby's train of thought is lost when she notices four bikes stopping by the dust shop, and eight men enter the shop.

"What are they doing?" She asks while pointing.

"Eight shady men enter a dust shop, probably the next headliner for tomorrow's news" Tony sarcastically says while getting his scroll out "We better call the police"

"Good idea" She continues watching and then she sees they have guns "Oh nice, they have guns"

"Try hard much" Tony starts calling but gets no signal, that's really odd he thought "The hell?"

"No signal?" Ruby asks worried.

"Yeah, damn it"

"We could stop them ourselves" She suggests as she points out they are getting out of the store.

"You know what, I like tha-" Tony starts saying when he notices that one of the goons aims at them "Ruby watch out!"

It happened in an instant as the bullets started flying, Tony hugs Ruby and drops both of them to the ground. He keeps hugging her as the barrage of bullets goes for a couple seconds then it stops.

"You okay?" Tony asks looking for any injuries on her.

"I'm fine" Ruby answers and she hears the bike's engine "They are trying to get away!"

"Not on my watch" Tony stands up with Ruby and get outside the store

The duo see the robbers starting to drive away, they were fast, probably illegal bikes. Tony gets in his bike with Ruby doing the same, revving the engine he starts following them, lucky for them, Tony's bike has some…not so standard and legal modification.

"Hang on sweetheart!" Tony says with a smile as he starts driving faster through the traffic.

"There they are!" Ruby points out.

"You are a good shot" Tony says as he lets go of his left hand getting one of his guns out "Here, take it"

"You brought your guns?!" Ruby asks, surprised.

"Never leave home without them babe" Tony smirks then gets serious again "Aim to the wheels when you get a clear shot, make them count"

Ruby nods as Tony starts getting closer to the robbers who are unaware of the duo following them, lucky enough the police are following behind too. Ruby sees the opportunity and aims, taking breath and then exhaling, she takes the shot that hits the back wheel of one of the bikes making it spin, dropping the two robbers on it.

"One down!" Ruby says

"Three to go!" Tony completes the phrase.

The other robbers notice that one of the bikes is down and that the brats from the ice cream shop survived and not only that, they are chasing them. The backseat passengers of the bikes start aiming their guns and shooting at our dynamic duo making Tony's driving go on the defensive, dodging the bullets that are coming their way.

Tony avoids all the bullets coming his way driving quite recklessly as he tries to keep Ruby safe and the bystanders safe too leaving him little room for error. Ruby doesn't seem to get a clear shot with Tony avoiding their attacks, she quickly notices a hanging crate from a crane, doing the calculations she decides to take the shot, breaking the rope.

The crate falls in front of one of the robbers making them crash, Ruby just giggles. Tony sees this as an opportunity to get even closer, getting his shotgun out and waiting for the right moment. The other robbers start getting desperate, they already lost two of their bikes so they decide to get on the highway trying to lose Tony and Ruby and also trying to get out of the city.

Tony notices their attempt to flee and he gets even hotter on their tail, one of the bikers starts unloading their guns. When they start reloading Tony hits the accelerator getting to their side and shots the front wheel with his shotgun. The last bike riders notice that they are alone and hit the gas.

"Those guys must be the bosses" Tony notices that he can barely keep up with them.

"Yeah, but they are not getting away from us!" Ruby starts aiming again.

"That's my girl!" Tony Smirks.

Tony keeps on their tail until they arrive at the wall, they turn left driving by it. To Tony's and Ruby's surprise a explosion happens on the wall creating a small hole, big enough for a bike to pass through, these guys aren't amateurs. Both pass through the hole going off road, Ruby trains to aim but the bumpy driving doesn't help.

"Could you drive better Tony? can't get a shot on them" Ruby says annoyed.

"Doing my best babe!" Tony says trying to get a better grip with his bike "Kinda hard when this bike isn't all terrain!"

"Fine, I'll do what I can!" Ruby starts aiming and taking shots.

"How long do you think you could hit them without a scope?" Tony says getting an idea.

"Far enough" Ruby answers, getting what he was thinking.

Tony gets as close as possible to them, when he notices that the path ahead doesn't have a lot of obstacles he stops suddenly. Ruby takes a second to aim, breaths in then breaths out until her lungs are out of air then takes the shot. The robbers didn't know what hit them, the bullet hit the front wheel making them fall and roll violently in the ground knocking them out, they were also lucky because beside them was a cliff leading to forest.

"Nice shoot" Tony compliments Ruby.

"Thanks!" Ruby says getting off the bike and handing Tony his gun.

Both of them arrive at the knocked out robbers, noticing that they had a bag of money and a briefcase with red dust coming out. They check on the robbers just to make sure they are alive and they are glad they are. Ruby looks at Tony giving him the thumbs up, Tony answers with a two finger salute.

"What an adventure we have" Tony says jokingly.

"It was fun!" Ruby was smiling from ear to ear as she gets close to get briefcase

"Well, the sun is setting, let's see if we can call the police or someone to get these guys…" Tony stops immediately as he feels a surge of demonic energy in the area and starts looking around.

"Em…what's wrong Tony?" Ruby says worried that he might be having an episode.

Tony grabs Ruby, putting her behind him as He turns around, looking for the enemy. Ruby is getting really worried about her friend but then she sees a blue shine in the distance; Tony notices the shine too but it was too late, that shine starts going in their direction or to be exact to the dust briefcase hitting it and creating an explosion.

Tony immediately hugs Ruby, shielding her from the explosion with his body. Thanks to the demonic energy the explosion was bigger than expected, throwing the two in the air making them fall off the cliff. Tony continued shielding Ruby as they fell, getting hit by branches from the trees that in a way, helped slowering their fall but they hit the ground with enough strength to knock them out for a few seconds.

"Wha…" Tony starts speaking as he recovers consciousness "Still alive…"

Tony sits down and looks around for Ruby, she's at his side but her aura is flickering meaning that it was depleted or close to, probably by the explosion and the fall. Tony inspects her, she has no injuries by the looks of it, him on the other side just some bruises and his coat burnt and torn.

"Hey Ruby, wake up" Tony shakes her awake.

"What…happened?" She said dizzy.

"We were ambushed by something or someone" Tony says not giving the identity of their attacker "Can you stand?"

"Sure" She tries to stand up but she grunts "ouch, I think I hurt my right ankle during the fall"

"Great…" Tony grunts annoyed "Ruby try and call Yang, Weiss or Blake, i'll try to call Ozpin or Goodwitch"

They tried calling their contacts with their scrolls but they couldn't, something was blocking the CCT communications. Tony had an idea of what it would be but didn't want to confirm it.

"I got no signal" Ruby says worriedly.

"Same" Tony takes his coat off, putting his guns under his belt making sure they don't fall then with his left hand picks up the shotgun then puts it on the front of his belt "We are on our own, we better try to get up the cliff again"

Ruby nods as Tony helps her stand up, she has a bit of trouble walking first but she's a tough girl and keeps going but she notices that her aura is almost depleted making them easy targets.

"Any idea of what or who attacked us?" Ruby takes a serious tone.

"Not really" Tony lied, he already knew what it was and how dangerous it can be for hunters.

From the attack, Tony knew it was a Enigma, a lesser demon who uses demonic energy to do range attacks, blue and red. Blue are light attacks that can be charged and shot faste while red attacks are slower to charge but deal more damage, the dangerous part is that they bypass aura and they have a long range of attack.

Tony, knowing that decides , is better to stay in the trees to use them as cover. They walk through the forest with their guards up, eyes open in case of another ambus and then Tony's scroll starts ringing.

"This is Redgrave" He answers the phone immediately.

"It's me Glynda, I saw the news, where are you and Miss Rose?" Glynda sounded annoyed.

"In trouble" Tony says with a serious tone.

"With what we saw in the news, of course you are!" Glynda yells.

"That's the lesser of our problems right now and need assistance ASAP" Tony says calmed.

"What do you mean?" Glynda started to sound worried.

"I mean, we are being att-" tony starts saying but a blue energy bolt hits him on the shoulder "Fuck!"

"Tony!" Ruby screams as she sees his friend getting hurt

Ruby drags Tony behind a tree taking cover, she didn't see what attacked them, she only knew it was a good shot and pretty sneaky.

"Redgrave? Miss Rose? Tony, are you there?!" Glynda yells worried.

"We are" Tony grunts in pain "It's one of them, I'm positive"

"Damn it…" Glynda swears "Can you take it out?"

"I'll try but right now i'm more worried about getting Ruby out of here unscratched" Tony admits being more worried for Ruby's sake than his.

"We'll send a bulkhead to your location, don't die" Glynda hangs up.

"They coming for us?" Ruby asks.

"For you at least" Tony says while getting one of his guns out "I'm staying, this is part of my job"

"But you are injured!" Ruby says worried for his friend's safety.

"I'll be okay" Tony shrugs it "I'm more worried about you dummy"

"No, I'll stay and fight, gimme one of your guns!" Ruby demands as she extends her hand.

"No way!" Tony started to get annoyed by Ruby's stubbornness.

While they were discussing, Tony felt a surge of demon energy, another bolt coming their way. Tony pushes Ruby to the ground and shoots in the direction that the bolt came from making the shooter slide off. Tony grabs Ruby's hand and starts running between the trees, trying to lose the enigmas scent then takes cover in a three.

Tony tries to find the enigma looking by the edge of the tree but cannot see it, they are in a cat and mouse game. Tony cursed mentally as he was in a bad situation, protecting Ruby and hunting the demon were making things harder for him especially now that the sun has set down.

Tony tries to sneak away with Ruby, taking cover in a tree, peaking then moving to the next looking for the enigma's position and a way out. They continue sneaking until Ruby's boot steps in a small branch making noise. Then Ruby saw it, she saw as their attacker slid in front of them, a weird creature made from something like stone, with multiple arms and some of them ended in a bow shape form; it also had a big single red eye.

A blue light was flickering and spinning in the bow shapes of the monster, that energy was the bolts that were attacking them. Tony didn't think twice grabbing the shotgun and doing a gun stringer at blank range, it was powerful enough to break the enigma in pieces but he wasn't taking chances; quickly reloading the shotgun he shot it again destroying it completely.

Ruby saw first one how Tony destroyed that monster, she also couldn't follow his speed completely, this is Tony actually fighting seriously she thought. Tony Felt another surge of energy behind them so he pushed Ruby aside. Three bolts flew close to them, one actually made a small cut in Ruby's left right making Tony angry; starting unloading lead on the other enigma as it ran away then he grabbed Ruby and ran again.

Ruby felt the pain in their leg, she still had aura left to resist a couple of blows but this attack bypassed it completely, didn't even lower her aura. Ruby for the first time in a long time felt terror as she was dragged around by Tony as they hid in some brushes surrounding a tree. Tony put his back against the tree, hugging Ruby's stomach and checking her wound, it was really small, he felt relief.

Ruby's mind was a mess, a creature that could hurt hunters directly even if they had their aura completely up, faster than a grimm and ranged attacks with great accuracy. Ruby's heart started racing thanks to the fear she was feeling. Both of them heard the sound of the enigma sliding in the ground getting closer and closer making Ruby start to hyperventilate.

Tony put his hand on Ruby's mouth and nose muffling the noise then with his empty hand grabbed the shotgun and aimed in front of them, He knows she is scared. They saw the enigma stand in front of them, looking around for them then stared directly at them, like it heard them, sliding closer and closer to make sure it found its prey.

Ruby stared at the red eye of the monster as it came closer, she could feel the hate, the anger, the killing intent then it turned away, a noise far from them caught its attention making him slide away. Tony lowered the gun in relief but Ruby was still hyperventilating, he needed to calm her down.

"Ruby…calm down…" He whispers softly while hugging her again "Calm down…"

Ruby turned around to see Tony, she had tears in her eyes but looking at Tony's soft gaze, she started calming. Ruby stopped hyperventilating, still breathing hard and wasn't crying anymore.

"What…was that thing Tony?" Ruby whispered back, wanting some answers.

"That was…" Tony couldn't find another way but to telling her the truth, he only hopes she can handle it and doesn't start hating him "...That was a demon"

"A…demon?" She asks thinking that he was joking but she notices that he wasn't joking at all realizing why he was in the beacon "Oh my god…You hunt demons…"

"Yeah…they are the reason why I'm like this," He confesses to Ruby.

Everything clicked now for Ruby, she remembered the stories from legends of demons, they were so dangerous that little people knew how to fight them. She also remembered that demons can control people, even create pacts or fusing with them meaning that Jessica, the girl that Tony was dating was…Ruby started crying again and hugged Tony tightly.

"I'm so sorry Tony…" She whispered

"So i am" Tony answers "didn't want to drag you into this"

"Wait…" Ruby remembers the situation they are in at the moment "How are going to get out of here? Will we get out?"

"Don't worry, we'll get out" Tony gives Ruby a smile while he strokes her right cheek softly "I'll protect you okay?"

"Okay…" Ruby answered.

For some reason, she felt safe by his side, he was sure of what he was doing; he wasn't panicking like she had. Ruby finally calmed down accepting their current situation, right now she just needed to help Tony find a way out or defeat the demon. Ruby started working the gears in her headbox until she got an idea that might work but needed more information.

"What's this demon called? How do those bolts work?"

"It's called an Enigma, obviously looking at its body you can make sense it's quite the ugly bastard" Tony chuckles while joking trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, it's really ugly" Ruby giggled. "But for real, how does it work?"

"Those bolts are created from their own demon energy, it's actually demon magic to put in other words" Tony takes a small pause "They can shoot multiple at time but those bolts can be broken with a gunshot. They are also quite sturdy, a sword or like you saw, point plank for the shotgun work pretty, why?"

"This is great" Ruby smiles "I think we can defeat the demon and you won't have to worry about protecting me"

"Go on" Tony asks carefully.

"Gimme one of the handguns and get his attention, I still have some aura so I can use my semblance and give you cover from different positions. I can also destroy the bolt and get him distracted" Ruby grins trying to convince Tony with her plan.

"Divide and conquer, smart little red hood" Tony smiles, her plan was solid. Tony reloads one of his handguns and hands it over.

Tony makes sure his other handgun is fully loaded and his shotgun too, then he puts his shotgun in his right hand while on the other has his mouser. Tony nods to Ruby then gets out of the bush, starting to run, catching Enigma's attention. Ruby uses her semblance moving fast from the bush to a new spot and taking aim at the Enigma. Tony starts shooting the Enigma keeping the attention on him while running on a straight line hoping the Enigma takes the bait.

For the duo's luck, the enigma does take the bait, charging the bolts and shooting at Tony. Ruby, seeing her chance, shoots the bolts then using her semblance again moves to a new location. Tony, noticing that the rotation changed, starts shooting again keeping the Enigma's attention on him. The duo keeps this rotation until Ruby gets behind the Enigma and starts shooting until the magazine is empty, giving Tony enough time to do his thing.

"Hey ugly!" She starts trash talking "aren't you forgetting something?"

The enigma turns around to see Tony getting closer to an alarming speed with a gun stinger. Ruby, wanting to join the fun uses her last of what he has of aura to use her semblance getting closer to the Enigma, she wasn't used to hand to hand combat like her sister but she knew something, with her speed a kick would deal lots of damage.

The Enigma had no way to escape the attack from both flanks and he gets hit by the gun stinger and a powerful kick from Ruby making the Enigma break apart. The duo sighs in relief while the rose petals drop to the ground and let themselves fall.

"Let's never do this again" Ruby says, exhausted, gasping for air.

"I agree" Tony sits while answering "We are lucky there was only two of them and i'm experienced fighting demons"

"Yeah" Ruby sits tool "Are all demons this powerful"

"Sorry to say, but this was only a lesser demon, a higher demon would have probably killed us both in our current situation, they are also more cunning and smarter, beside being more powerful in every single way" tony says in a serious tone "a higher demon would have played with the idea of me trying to defend you to make me lower my guard"

"Yep, never doing this again" Ruby lets herself fall, she was still scared "Honestly, how close we were to losing our lives?"

"Pretty close, thankfully you are a good leader and made this work" Tony stands up and walks closer to Ruby "But don't ask me to take you on one of my missions okay?"

"Oh, i won't" Ruby giggles "Never been so scared for my life until today but…it was fun"

"Glad to be of entertainment" tony laughs then he sees a bulkhead on the distance "And here it comes our ride meaning our adventure truly comes to its end"

"Great, i need to get some rest, i can't feel my legs" She says as she wiggles her legs "I'm guessing that i should keep this as a secret"

"That's right" Tony says with a serious tone again.

"You got it" she then stands up immediately and looks at Tony excited "I got it!"

"What…did you get?" Tony asks, surprised and a bit shaken.

"Rose's Thorns, that's the name of our team attack!" Ruby yells excited

"Oh Ruby" Tony shakes his head and smiles.

AUTOR NOTES

Another chapter done, honestly, it was quite quick, it's a short chapter of Ruby and Tony bonding together outside and inside a crisis, also gives a bit more of knowledge into one of team RWBY of Tony's work and skills.

Also, nice date between Ruby and Tony, watched movies, ate ice cream, of course people can see the reference that i made with Grodilla and the kung fu movie, also loved making a bike chase scene. It was fun and like I said before, I haven't had this much fun writing for a long time.

It was a short chapter too so yeah, these next 2 chapters are going to be shorter because it's bonding time and i'm also going to be a bit busy this week thanks to work and the tattoo session that i'll have so it will take longer for me to write them so be patient, Hopefully i'm getting better, i know, i sound like a broken record but i want this to be good too ya know?

Well, for music, mostly been listening to rock, punk rock and a bit of emo from the 2000 so yeah, nothing much to add.

For games…GOD DAMN VERGIL STYLE ADJUDICATORS! god it made me mad the SSS one in mission 7, Vante was easier than i thought, Vergil deals tons of damage.

Also, the voting for Dante's partner will finish in the next 2 chapters, the one that has the most votes will be the winner. After a day or two after chapter 6 is published the voting will end and I'll probably post who won. If it was a tie, I'll throw a coin.

Now, to reviews from the last chapter (funny enough, there are some in 24 hours, if it's anonymous review i'll post the whole review so you know that i'm answering to you)
