A/N: LLLLET'S FLASHBACK!
Ironwood stood in the large training hall on the command frigate, facing a hundred of his strongest men, Ruby by his side.
"This woman," He pointed to her. She wasn't wearing her Perseus Armor, but rather her Perseus T-Shirt, and camo cargo pants. Her prosthetic arm was exposed. It looked like they had coated Ruby's arm in metal and then cut lines in it to increase flexibility.
"Has trained with you, ate with you, but she is not yet one of you." Ironwood continued. "Today, we find out if she really is Atlesian material. All of you will go against all of her. Be warned, she has not been trained to subdue, but rather kill." He turned to Ruby, "Whenever you're ready, Ruby." He told her.
Ruby acknowledged him, grinned, and sprinted into the crowd at full speed, taking out as many as she could. One of the soldiers tried to hit her on the back of the head, but she caught his hand and quickly broke his wrist. She picked him up, and threw him into the crowd, knocking him, and three other guys out. Ruby elbowed one, while kicking another in the face, knocking both out.
Next, seven men came at her at once, she flipped over one, and they all collided, knocking one another out. Ruby did a cartwheel for show, grabbing a grenade from one of the men and tossing it into the crowd, taking quite a few of the men out. Another mindless fool ran at her. She swiped his feet out from under him, and kicked him at the crowd. Ruby, who was mentally keeping count, was at forty-three.
"Almost halfway, boys!" She teased, earning a man charging to her, whom she leaped on, slamming his head into the ground. The next guy who came at her was launched into the crowd, who was now trying to rush her. It didn't work.
She slammed the guy in the front in the stomach, and used him as a shield, pushing her way through the crowd, kicking anyone who fell underneath her.
"Seventy!" She shouted heartily, the men quickly grew angry at her childish nature. A man came at her with a knife, to which she broke his arm, and launched both him and the knife into the twenty-nine remaining men.
Soon, with little effort, Ruby had taken down every single one of them, standing in the center of the room with pride.
Present Day…
Weiss and Blake ran through Beacon, dodging the Atlesian guards who were after the heiress. That's when Yang arrived. The blonde grabbed Weiss by the throat, lifting her up and slamming her against the wall.
"Yang!" Weiss choked out, "I didn't do anything to Ruby! You have to believe me!" Yang dropped the heiress.
"I believe you." Yang sighed, "I just needed to hear you say it. After all, you are my friend." Yang patted her teammate's shoulder, offering a small smile.
"Freeze, Schnee!" Perseus' deep, echoing, voice commanded. WBY turned around to see the black clad woman pointing a handgun at Weiss. "You are under arrest for violation of the international laws of Remnant." She said.
"I didn't—" Weiss was cut off by Perseus' roaring voice.
"Liar!" She yelled. "Nikos dismembered her and then you impaled her!"
"I did no such thing!" Weiss shot back. She could barely hide her growing panic. How much did this person know?
"Enough of this!" Perseus shouted angrily. "You are a killer—" Perseus was suddenly tackled by Yang.
"Weiss did not kill my sister!" Yang angrily yelled. Perseus pushed herself onto her back, kicking Yang over her head, and flipping onto her feet. She began to walk towards Weiss, but Yang got back up, sprinting towards the Atlesian.
Perseus foresaw this, and easily countered the blonde's attack, sending her to the ground. Directly after, Blake stepped into the fight. The faunas leaped in, chopping down on Perseus with Gambol Shroud. Perseus caught the blade and looked Blake in the eyes, "Ruby was the first human to accept you for who you were, rather than what you are. Weiss did, and has, not. Schnee is lying to you."
She swiped Blake's legs out from under her, and Yang stood, swinging at Perseus, who ducked and dodged every punch.
"Ruby was your little sister, whom you cared for like a daughter. She was what kept you under control, with her gone, let's see how far you'll—" Yang finally landed a hit on Perseus, launching her to the other side of the campus.
A shower of rubble exploded outwards in protest to Perseus suddenly hitting a wall. The world faded to black as Perseus lost consciousness.
Hours Later…
Ruby struggled to open her eyes, feeling pain throughout her body. Her visor was cracked, and glitching everywhere. She sat up, throwing rubble off her body, her muscles screaming in protest at the sudden movement.
She mentally told her HUD to display the damage. Her suit was massively damaged. Ruby reached downwards and tore a sharp piece of metal from her abdomen. She grunted in pain and stood. Her armor soon expanded over the wound and cauterized it.
Afterwards, Ruby told her HUD to display the current location of Weiss. At birth, a tracer was put into both Weiss and Winter because of all the kidnappings that were happening at that time. Only Mr. Schnee himself could access it, but that had become an untrue statement, as Ruby had broken through his firewall easily. WBY was in Vale, and that was a place to start.
Ruby quickly made her way to Weiss' location, getting a vantage point on top of a nearby rooftop. She pulled out her new, sleeker Crescent Rose, and expanded it into sniper form.
Instead of looking like the original, she now had the tech to make it look more like a sniper rifle. The rifle itself became the blade, the actual blade inside of the gun, while the stock expanded into the handle. The barrel also had a grenade launcher attached to it to blow shit up.
She aimed her weapon at bus WBY was on, and fired a few rounds at the tires.
WBY had been on a bus for a while, hoping to get Weiss out of the kingdom. "This Perseus chick knows us." Blake broke the silence.
"What makes you say that?" Weiss asked.
"She knows so much about us. It can't be for no reason."
"I think I know why." Yang said. "Whoever this chick is, she has an obsession with Ruby."
"Why would you think that?" Blake asked.
"Weiss and I met her before. She brought up Ruby. I think she's working with the woman on the speakers. She implied some of the same things."
A loud crack went off, and the bus swerved, crashing into a nearby building. WBY heard a loud thud, and the familiar voice of Perseus, "Weiss Schnee!" She shouted, "You are under arrest for the murder of Ruby Rose. Come out with your hands up. I will not hesitate to shoot you."
Weiss turned to her teammates, "I have a plan."
Weiss soon emerged from the bus, her hands behind her head. Perseus moved towards her, reaching for her throat. Weiss disappeared, Blake appearing with her several feet away.
"Shadow clones." Perseus said. "I will not fall for the same trick twice." Then, Yang came out and tried to attack Perseus, who dove under the blonde's punches, kicking her in her weak points. Yang went down, and Blake attacked next. Perseus blocked Gambol Shroud with her katana. Blake noticed this; Perseus fought defense.
"Weiss! Go!" Blake told her friend. "She's pure defense and knows our weaknesses."
Weiss began sprinting away. "You've called this upon yourselves." Perseus told Blake. "Penny. The woman who killed Ruby is getting away."
A bullhead flew over head almost immediately, dropping a certain robo-ginger. Penny prepared her weapons, readying them to fire a giant beam.
"Blake! Yang! Stand down!" She shouted. "Miss Perseus is a high-ranking military officer!" Yang launched Perseus into a nearby store.
"I don't care, Penny." She said. "Weiss did not kill Ruby."
Blake aimed her pistol mechanism at Perseus, who activated stealth mode in response, and went after Weiss. Perseus deactivated stealth mode once she was a good ways down the street and equipped her rifle, firing grenades after the heiress.
Cars were launched off the street, smashing into shops, and crushing innocent people. Perseus returned Crescent Rose to her back, equipping her arm blaster, she fired at the ground, and kicked the rubble that came up towards Weiss. The rubble smashed into Weiss' back, knocking her down. Perseus marched over to Weiss, picking her up by the throat, she slammed her into a wall.
"Who aided you in the murder of Ruby Rose?" Perseus asked.
"I didn't— I didn't kill her!"
"LIAR!" Perseus pulled out her handgun and pressed it against Weiss' chin. "Tell me or your brains will be all over this fucking wall!"
A/N: I'm going to end the chapter here, because I want to hear your input. Should Weiss die?
