RWBY belongs to Monty Oum
Chapter 6
Two gunslinger could be found I a training, one stood from the distance while shooting a great quantity of visible air bullets, and the other one was using his own two guns and his agility to deflect each bullet who by they way was doing and would be doing better if it wasn't for his personal cheer leader.
"Go Ren dodge, go Ren dance!" said Nora who had been cheering the moment they started his training, why was she here Axl brought her, and besides her was lambert who was also cheering.
Although Ren was doing fine ignoring his childhood friend but then again it all changed when he felt a sudden change in the wind behind him, he did a 90 degree turn and began to spin his gun without thinking while doing the same from the other side since from both there were a bullets barrages from both side.
While doing so he saw how in front of him appeared another barrage making Ren flip back a little avoiding the barrage by a millimeter, he was about to lose his balance and fall to the ground when the barrages stopped.
"That is enough for today, tomorrow we will your aura usage, I hope you had been doing the exercises because you will be exhausted" said Axl as Ren laid in the floor.
"I still do not understand why you bought Nora." Said Ren panting heavily sine Axl hasn't disperse the dense air around him.
Axl snapped his fingers making the air normal again, truth to be told he had completely forgotten about it, "For distraction, you might have ones in future battles and your minds need to be cool about it, and judging from the beginning of the training you were distracted."
Nora got closer and pulled him from the floor and began to dry his sweat with a towel, while lambert and Axl began to leave the area.
"Wait."
Said Ren while still being attacked by Nora`s towel.
"What`s up with Drake lately?" asked Ren
"What do you mean?" asked Axl knowing full well what he was talking about.
"He has been colder than usual, he doesn't let anyone get close to him just by walking away, not even Ruby and he seems a little paler than usual, plus the fact that whenever Cardin does something stupid he uses more force than usual…. Not than anyone cares much about that one." Said Ren as Nora voiced her ideas saying he should just break his legs.
"He is find, he is just thinking about something that has been eating him from the inside, he will be back to his not so colder self soon." Said Axl as he and lambert walked outside, knowing full well that it would take sometime before he gets back to normal.
Yang Xiao Long was usually a happy person with a terrible sense off joking but lately she has been furious at a certain 'goggled bastard' as she puts it.
It has been 3 days and he has been avoiding everyone, she wanted a rematch from their last fight so bad that she had waited in front of his room to made it official, but couldn't thanks to another goggled bastard.
She could still recall the events that happened after the fight that day.
Flashback (Location team`s RWBY room)
"Are you sure you are okay?" asked her sister with worry seeing it was the first time she has lost a match.
"For the 5th time yes I am fine." Said Yang with a smile trying to assure her sister, truth to be told she felt happy she lost even if it is not the kind of lost she wanted to have, but still now she had someone that could fight her level.
"At least you are okay, although he shouldn't have froze you nearly to death." Said Weiss.
"I think he was holding back a little, I mean he did beat a rare type of Grimm." Said Blake thinking if there wasn't a way that the fight ended sooner.
"I don't really care the only, I know is that I want the rematch now." Said Yang punching her fist together.
"Well bad luck, neither him or Axl are in the academy, they went to vale to which I have to bet, it is for another contract. Probably related to the call Axl got in the middle of the fight." Said Weiss, making Yang throw a tantrum.
"Relax Yang, why don't you ask Ren, he should know when they are getting back."
Said Ruby.
"Why would Ren know?" asked Blake a little intrigued.
"Well Ren asked Axl to train him with his guns, it looks like they have been doing it for a while now."
"So that explains why his moves in the recent matches were similar and lethal... and you know this how?" Said Weiss.
"Well it was an early morning of Sunday, and I have to do some of the assignments that the leaders have, when I was done I caught the side of Axl sparring with Ren while Drake was reading a book and lambert sleeping, when I asked what they were doing and got my answer I asked if he could do the same with me. He said no, but offered with a smile to teach me a new move for my Scythe" said Ruby taking a deep breath and the looking down.
"But forbid me to use, unless it was against a Grimm."
Yang raised her head as she remembered the conversation she heard early, she could hear how Drake had Ruby into consideration.
"Ruby, Have Drake ever help you in anything else?" asked Yang as the other two looked at her thinking the same think.
"Well, he have helped me with my Scythe giving me advices from time to time, also with some of my lessons when I don't understand something, also that time he gave advices to be a good leader… and he give me a lot cookies with chocolate chips on them." Said Ruby while drooling in the last part.
"Does he always smile at you?" asked Yang trying to hold her suspicions.
"Yes, every time, he doesn't at you?" asked Ruby in general.
"Well he smiled at me when we met and he showed me the library, other than that none." Said Blake remembering the day she got to beacon.
"I made him chuckle ones at a comment I made about Professor Port." Said Weiss.
'So the only person he hasn't smiled at has been me?' thought Yang as she had discarded the possible future love relationship between her sister and Drake, but looked more like a caring big brother relationship.
"Argh forget it." Said Yang as she stood up from her bed and went outside and knocked JNPR`s door, seconds later the door opened to reveal Pyrrha.
"Oh, hello Yang what can I do for you."
"Hey Pyrrha is Ren there is something I need to ask him." Said Yang while rubbing her temples.
"He is here but, he is rather busy at the moment." Said Pyrrha as she stepped from the door to reveal Ren doing push ups with his 2 index fingers…. Vertically, wearing his usual attire and sweating a lot .
"Hey… Ren umm I was… wondering if you knew when Drake and Axl would return from vale?" said Yang a little amazed for what she was seeing.
"They…. Usually….night…late." said Ren between pushups.
"Thanks." Said Yang as he looked at Pyrrha "Why is he doing it like that?"
it was Ren who answered "Axl…is…a sadist."
After that Yang returned to her room and later at night she sat in front of his room waiting for him wondering why he was so cold with her but yet stood up for her against goodwitch.
It had passed a long time when she heard footstep, she stood up to see if he was Drake, she was disappointed when she saw Axl with lambert in his shoulder, who by the was looked sad.
"What are you doing here Blondie?" asked Axl in his robotic voice but she could feel he was no mood to talk.
"I am waiting for Drake." Said Yang looking at him.
"Whatever it is for, forget it, neither me nor him are in the mood for anything right now. Leave for another time." Said Axl passing her as he headed to his room.
'What the hell happened for lambert to be so sad and Axl so angry.' Thought Yang as she headed to her room following Axl advice.
End of flashback
Now it was Sunday, and her along with her team plus JP were with them soon after the rest of team appeared.
"Wow, Axl really did a number with you this time" said Blake seeing how pale Ren was.
"You should have seen him, Ren was dancing jumping, he even did the matrix" said Nora wondering what was he talking about.
"Axl put me to avoid his air bullets… millions of them… sadist" said Ren as his head hit the table.
"He wasn't kidding." Said Yang "Was Drake with you guys?"
Nora shook her head; "According with Axl, Ozpin called him to his office and hasn't seen him in all day after that."
"I see." Said Yang.
"So what are your plans for today Weiss anything I could join up." Said Jaune trying to hit on Weiss without much success as always.
"Keep dreaming Arc, but I am already busy, I need to prepare Ruby for an exam we have next week." Said Weiss
"As cold as always ice queen." Said Yang looking away innocently while everyone minus Ren laughed.
Some time later they stood up and the teams went their different ways.
"So what are you two going to do today?" asked Ruby.
"I think I will head to vale, I feel like riding my bike, wanna tag with me Blake." Said Yang
"Sorry but I think I am gonna pass, I need some me time in the library." Said Blake.
"Gonna read that dirty book of yours aren't you?" asked Yang making blakes face turn as red as Ruby`s hood.
"It is not a dirty book." Said Blake while Yang just replied "Right whatever you say."
All of them headed their respective ways as Yang took her bike and took the long road to head to vale.
Drake was sitting in a bar in the dark side of the city of vale; the club was filled with people talking and dancing while Drake sat in the main counter while the owner of the club looked at him as if Drake was ready to do something.
"Can you please stop looking at me like that?" asked Drake
The last time he was here was about his first month working with Axl, it looked like the owner of this place was a good information broker.
The moment he and Axl stepped in the club all the man that worked here steeped back clearing the way and looking at Axl with fear.
It looked like Axl had come here to get information of the mafia group that targeted important people, Weiss among them.
Junior the owner of the bar didn't want to give any information especially one as important as that, Axl of course knew how to be resourceful, in short he destroyed the bar which was funny because a couple of days before by a girl.
But it was not for that they feared Axl, it looks like after the explosion of the place and the complete annihilation of the whole place and the destruction of the mafia family, it wasn't hard for Junior to figure who was the responsible.
"Sorry brat, but it has been nearly 3 months since the last "Club destruction" and with you here I am just sure something will happen." Said junior while he cleaned some glasses.
"if you keep thinking like that something indeed will happen." Said Drake as he took a zip from his drink.
"By the way aren't you to young to be here drinking? You look like you can hold up your own."
"Aren't you to old to get your ass kick by a teenage girl?" asked Drake as he finished his drink and ordered another one.
Junior eye`s twitched at that and muttered "Stupid blondes, always think they are smarter than anyone.", that made Drake raised an eyebrow.
'It looks like he has something against blondes, wouldn't be surprised if the one that destroyed his club before Axl was a blonde… it couldn't be.' Drake discarded the thought as he got another drink.
"Where is that friends of your anyway?"
"He is busy, we got decided that we should take a free day." Said Drake, as junior got closer.
"Speaking of which, by any way wouldn't you 2 be the ones taking care of the incident that happened 3 days ago right?"
Drake froze at that, "How did you?"
"I am information broker brat, this is my stuff."
Drake put his drink down and looked at junior for a second.
"How much do you know about that incident?"
"I knew that the responsible was that doctor that got fired recently from the Schnee company, also that a certain group pay him to continue his research, let me tell you something interesting, the families of the subject used where killed one week before the good doctor took them, coincidence I don't think so."
'It must have been the group that paid him, he said the they will tell him where to find the perfect subject.'
"you wouldn't happen to know who this group is do you?"
Junior shook his head.
"it looks like I am as blind as you brat, I was hoping you would know."
Both gave a sigh.
"If you find anything let me know I will pay good for the information." Said junior
Drake nodded but had another question.
"You may not know who they are but do you know any of their moves or their objectives?"
"The only thing I know it is that there have been weird moves at big scale in the whole remnant, assault at various industries, valuable shipment stolen, weird prototype weapons among them, etc. the only thing I can say for sure is that they are not the white fang nor anyone I may know of."
'A third party huh? One being the white fang and the other one should be considered to be Torchwick, although that clown looks more like the type to take orders' thought Drake as he stood up and paid junior for the drinks.
"Thanks for everything I will keep in mind what you said." Said Drake as he began to walk our of the club.
When Drake got out of the club he started to walk in the direction of the heliport, he got in an intersection and stood there for a second, until he turned left leading to a construction side.
From afar a man wearing a purple cloak and everything black on the inside of it watched Drake as he then proceeded to his objective.
'Looks like I had more luck than sting Mammoth.'
Drake walked inside a building in construction, in better terms of words the same building Axl blew up a couple of months ago.
"I am in no mood to this kind of crap today, so I would appreciate if we finish this soon, so I can go and focus in more important things."
As soon as he said that Drake heard claps coming from higher floors.
He looked at the direction of the sound to see a man with purple hair and cloak with yellow slit eyes looking at him.
"You are pretty good in detecting me, then again I couldn't expect less from Axl`s partner." Said the man as he took his cloak to reveal a set of purple metalic wings.
"Nice to meet you Drake, my name is storm eagle, and this is a test." As soon as he said that a twister appeared from behind Drake sending him to a wall and destroying it.
Eagle descended from the building and saw the destroyed structure.
"Don't tell me that`s all you got?" asked eagle disappointed.
Soon after from the debris came a figure attacking with a thrust making eagle eyes widened and jumped high returning to the building followed by Drake who followed with blades in hand.
The distance between floor and ceiling was big enough so the Faunus could fly with out a problem, but for Drake that was an annoyance, he was shooting energy blade after energy blade without much luck of hitting, while the eagle who was now firing two twisters sets out of nowhere, shot after shot.
"What aren't you gonna say anything?" asked eagle while he kept shooting.
Drake just kept avoiding the attacks giving eagle enough time go to an open part of the construction and then began to ascend to the sky.
Drake couldn't let him gain height knowing he would have he advantage, he unsheathed his blades and jumped to the other side of the building while putting energy in his foot as he began running vertically in the wall and gave a boost just so he could jump to where eagle was, he dispelled the energy in his feet and extended his hands for 2 sets of chains to appear.
The chains reached eagle`s leg making him look down in surprise to see Drake in mid air holding the chains with his hands, he was about to create a twister that would hit him directly, that was until Drake pulled the chains with all his strength making him come at Drake at high speed as pulled kneeled both legs to his chest and when eagle was near him he used as a platform and jumped with enough strength in his legs to send the eagle slammed in the floor while Drake was high on the air out of the higher level of the building.
While reaching his maximum high he unsheathed both blades and created an small platform behind below him he reached heaven in the sly sending an small energy to the sky making cloud gather above him sending azure lighting to heaven, he the raised hell and pointed at where the eagle was, realizing all the energy he was receiving from the azure lighting via heaven, he released the energy via hell creating a big red electric beam that hit the floor, the way of energy was so big that destroyed some of the higher floors in the process.
The beam began to disappear along with the clouds above him.
He took off his goggles to reveal his red eyes beginning to turn emerald again.
The calm didn't take much because he felt something on his back, from behind him came a twister that began to push him back to the ground, making him drop his goggles and close his eyes by the intensity of the wind, he thought on creating a pair of chains and get a hold on to something, but there was nothing in mid air to do that since he knew the beam had destroyed the higher floors, his thought were interrupted as he felt an impact in his chest.
The twister that was pushing him disappear, he opened his eyes to see eagle wearing a metal gauntlet making contact with his chest leaving him without air.
"How?" asked Drake coughing a little blood.
"This wings are not just for show, It would have been problematic if I had hit the jacket." Said eagle as he grabbed Drake and threw him to the ground, following by a twister that slammed him on it.
"Karma is a bitch huh?" said eagle as his right hand began to be covered in a little twister making it look like if he had a drill instead of a hand.
"Couldn't expect no less from you." Said eagle who was charging at Drake who was unconscious on the ground.
An hour ago.
Axl was lean back in one of the bench on the fountain while lambert slept in his leg.
He was thinking in the event of the day when stag died, thinking if there was another way he could have save the child.
Drake could have used hell to absorb the flames, but the Apollo would have keep making more until the point he would have die anyway, if they had ripped the crystal from his chest they would have kill him, doesn't matter what they think of there was no way to save stag.
"can I sit?" Axl turned to see Blake with a book in her hand 'Why I not surprised'.
"Yeah sure." Said Axl as Blake sat next to him with her book closed.
"I suppose you are not here to read?" asked Axl as Blake just nodded.
"I am here to ask what is with Drake lately, since you 2 returned to whatever mission you were he is more distant than ever." Said Blake with concern in her voice.
"That is for me to know and for you to never found out." Said Axl as he leaned back at the sky, making blade angry ready to leave when she heard something.
"He killed someone." Said Axl plain and simple.
"What?" asked Blake in disbelief.
"What you heard."
"I don't get it, he killed with you the guys with camouflage that night and he didn't feel affected by it. I can accept it since it was in self-defense and I can assure you so do the others."
"This time it is different, it was an innocent a kid no less." Said Axl making Blake eyes widened.
"How did it happened?" asked Blake not wanting to believe what she just heard.
"Summarized version: evil scientist uses test subject for evil project, kid the subject, he goes out of control feeling the pain of the experiment shouting that someone ended it, Drake took the choice and ended his life, even thought the kid didn't feel anything and thanked Drake before he passed away."
"What are you worried about?" asked Blake while thinking that if she had been her, she wouldn't be able to pull the trigger.
"I don't know what he is feeling right now, I can assure it is not guilt more like worry."
"Worry?"
"He didn't hesitated when he did the move, and stood calm when he saw the kid pass out, I think he is worried he isn't felling any guilt for it."
"You really worried about him." Said Blake
"Of course I do, he is my partner after all, I don't wanna lose another one."
Blake made a note about that comment for another time.
"If you really think that, then you should have asked him personally." Said Blake.
"I would but he has been avoiding me along with lambert since then." Said Axl while said dog was still sleeping.
"You will have to force him to talk to you eventually." Said Blake
"I guess I would need to use my guns to force him then." Said Axl as his scroll began to sound.
"Give me a sec kit cat." Said Axl ignoring Blake`s deathly glare.
"Unknown number…. Hello… he Jetstream long ti- what did you just said." Blake looked Axl with concern it looked like something had happened.
30 minutes ago.
Adam Taurus was in one of the warehouse of the white fang sleeping after a mission, when all of the sudden he began ear gunshots coming from the hangar. He took his blade and putted on his mask and opened the door to see some of the members in the floor with spikes on their bodies and some of them burned to death.
He got closer to see check the bodies when he felt a wave of heat coming from he left, he gave a back step and drew his blade, he saw a fat man wearing an armor standing in front of him with a ring in his nose and to what it looked two fire torrents in each hand.
"You have some nerve attacking one of our bases fatso."
The fat man just raised both arms and said before start shooting "That is your own fault. You got in our businesses 3 months ago. Now we are just dealing with loose ends."
'3 months ago…. Rattrap!' thought Adam as began to dodge each of the shoots easily as he got closer to cut both weapons, that was until he felt great pain in his leg.
He jumped back as he saw he had an spike stabbed to his leg.
'when did he?' his thoughts were interrupted as he saw the fat man still firing at him.
He took the spike and pulled it out ignoring the pain as he dodged that last one with difficulty.
The man just stood there as he lowered his arms.
"you had a perfect opportunity to kill him right there and you failed." Said the man out loud and Adam knew he wasn't talking to him.
Adam began to look around to see only him and no one else and then felt it again the same pain as before but this time in both legs.
He falls on his knees as he began to contain his anger.
"You were saying?" Adam could ear a rasp voice around him but still couldn't see anything to finally reach to the conclusion that the guy could turn invisible.
"Hmm… still you failed the previous one, doesn't matter right now, lets just end him so we can go and help captain eagle with Axl`s partner." Said the fat man as he raised he guns and fired 2 giant fire beams not seeing that Adam had his hand on his blade and his hair was glowing.
He made a quick draw making the beam split in two.
"oh he still has some in him, doesn't mater I will end him this time" Said the invisible one as Adam was sheathing his blade.
"I am sorry but that was your first and only chance you will get." Said Adam as he sheathed his blade completely.
As soon as he said that the fat man was cut in half and also did the invisible one as his body appeared split in two and lastly so did the hangar.
He looked at the invisible not so invisible man to see that he had some kind of spike shooter in his arms and guessed that what made him invisible was his semblance.
He looked around to see the whole place destroyed and the members that lived here death.
'Someone will pay for this, but first I have to warn Axl.'
"Are you ok?" asked Axl as he heard Adam`s story
"Yes I am afraid that I can't say the same about the others."
"I am sorry about your friends and I thank you for the warning, take care, I will tell you if I found the one who sent the attack."
He hang up and looked at Blake with was looking at him with confussion.
"Something has happened I need to look for Drake as soon as possible, can you please take care of lambert?"
Blake just nodded as he gave her lambert and then began to fly at high-speed.
"Flame mammoth and sting chameleon and worst of all storm eagle, they are beginning to move. I just hope I made it in time."
Yang Xiao long had just bought some new rounds for her Ember Celica and decided to head back to beacon, she then noticed a giant cloud forming in a construction area followed by blue lighting and then a big electric red beam going down causing a major shockwave,
She headed there to see what was happening as she parked bumblebee a couple of blocks away, she ran to the construction and jumped in the highest floor that was not destroyed to see something in horror.
In the air there was Drake who looked like if he had been punched and left without air as she looked he was coughing blood.
The metallic winged Faunus threw him to the ground as a twister finished slamming him on it, she then saw as the man created some kind of drill forming in his hand and began to descend at high speed at an unconscious Drake.
That was it, Yang`s eyes were red in anger as she jumped and launched a fist with ember Celica armed and ready, she was able to connect the punch and fired a round successfully sending the man flying to the other side of the building in construction.
"Who the h-" eagle didn't finish the sentence as had to dodge the fist of an angry Yang as she began to shoot her weapon, not giving the guy any time to attack.
Close combat has never been eagle forte, so he decided to take a punch as he blocked his chest making him fly back a little, which was what he wanted as he created a twister from his hand directly at Yang who evade it and began charge at him not noticing the smirk in his face as the same twister hit her in the back sending straight to him just to receive a fist in the stomach from his metal gauntlet making her caught blood, after that he pulled her from the hair and began to slam her in the ground over and over until he got bored and threw her to the wall, he noticed he had some hair in his arms.
"I don't know who you are girl but you shouldn't have intervened in something you don't understand." Said eagle as he cleaned his hands and went to finish Drake only to notice that the place was beginning to bright, he turned around just to receive direct impact in the chest while Yang's hair looked like she was in flames and her red eyes were glowing more.
"You bastard!" screamed Yang as she gave fist after fist all of them in the chest and end it with an uppercut sending eagle flying destroying ceiling after ceiling until he reached the last available floor.
Yang jumped down to see how Drake was, she jumped down as her hair and eyes returned to normal.
She looked his body immobile; she began to run where he was until a twister appeared around her, soon the twister began to mad here levitate and soon she was beginning to lose air.
Eagle just landed in front of the twister giving his back to Drake.
He was pissed, humiliated by a teenage girl, but it didn't mattered to him since she was gonna die soon.
"As I said you shouldn't have intervened little girl" said eagle as he began to levitate and spread both arms ready to clap them together making the pressure of the twister crush her organs.
He was stopped making his palms 1 cm of distance between each other.
"What? Why cant I move?" his hands began to move on their own and soon after the twister disappeared revealing a barely conscious Yang who was about to fall in the ground if it wasn't because in looked like if she had landed in a net made of tiny lines of black.
Eagle saw this as he began to notice the same types of lines surrounding him.
"Yang are you ok?" eagles eyes widened as he heard drakes cold voice.
Yang jumped from the net and gave a nod as she saw Drake, he had both arms raised and she could see the lines tied to his fingers making them bleed.
"You should have kill me instead of giving your monologue while trying to splash Yang, even thought I don't know if that would have work with her, but even so I was not gonna let her feel the pain." Said Drake as he motioned his fingers to turn him around just to meet Drake`s crimson eyes while Yang walked and stood next to him.
"Are you ok?" she just nodded as he then turned to see eagle.
"Why did you attack me?" asked Drake
"I needed to see if you were the real deal, now that is see what you are doing, I know you are." Said eagle.
"All of these for being paired with Axl?"
"Yes, it did began with him after all, now you are officially a target."
"You are part of that organization aren't you, the one moving in the shadows besides the white fang?" eagle`s eyes widened for a second and then began to laugh.
"hahahahaha, you don't know now this is rich. Kill me I wont say a thing."
Drake`s eyes hardened at that, "With pleasure." He began to close both hands slowly making the lines around eagle`s body tighten making him scream in pain, Yang stopped him by standing next to him and looking up at his eyes and grabbing his hands.
"That is enough, there is no need to kill him" said Yang
"He will come back for me or Axl." Said Drake looking directly at Yang's eyes.
"If he does just beat him back, there is no need to kill him if he cant fight anymore." Said Yang with determination as her eyes changed to red.
Red stared at Red for a full minute.
"Fine but that doesn't mean he goes unpunished for this." Said Drake as he gently moved Yang around and moved 2 of his fingers ripping of his metal wings ignoring his screams.
"The next time, you come at me or any of my friends, I will end you, and there is no entity that will save you." Said Drake as he began to walk with Yang following behind both ignoring.
"You will regret this Drake, you, Axl and the whole hunters!"
"Any idea why he attacked you?" asked Yang.
They had retrieved Bumblebee and walked to a near park, Drake had decided to lay down in the grass with Yang next to him.
"He said that he was there to test me if I was a threat. Guess I passed with flying colors" said Drake with his eyes closed.
Yang looked at his hand "It looks like the cuts already healed."
There was an uncomfortable silence for a while, Drake was enjoying the tranquility but of course someone else couldn't.
"Can I ask you something?"
considering she saved his life he didn't see any harm.
"Shot."
"Why do you treat my sister with so much care?"
"She reminds me a lot to someone I care, that is all." Said Drake 'Half lie, half true.'
"Really? That`s all?" asked Yang sitting up looking a him, Drake opened his eyes emerald met cian.
"Are you insinuating what I think? The answer is no miss Xiao Long." Yang frowned at that-
"You know since I save your life, the least thing you could do is drop all formalities."
"You can blame miss goodwitch for that."
Yang`s eyes widened at that, "What do you mean?"
"I am an Orphan, I was found by Ozpin and other hunters, they raised me and trained me. although you already knew that last part."
Yang kept looking at him as he pulled something from his jacket, to reveal the chain with the green D.
"This and the jacket are the only things I got from the night they found me."
"Have you ever wondered what happened to your parents?"
"I have never had the need, this is the life I am living thanks to those hunters."
Yang decided to lay back and decided to ask the other thing that has been bugging her.
"What happened 3 night ago?" at that Drake`s eye widened.
"You have been avoiding everyone since that time, plus I waited in front of your room and saw Axl and lambert, Axl told me not to bother you. So it is not hard to guess that something happened that night."
Drake sat in the grass and looked at Yang, this time it was red vs cian, and Yang noticed this.
"What happened?" said Yang as she sat, Drake broke the contact and glared fat at the distance.
"I killed an innocent." Yang`s eyes widened at that, but also by the fact that his voice was as cold as always.
Yang didn't know what to think at that, he had seen him kill before, the night he fought against Axl.
But that time it was in order to protect Weiss and the others, her included.
"How did it happened?" asked Yang with a voice as cold as her own while putting her face in front of him.
Drake told her everything, leaving outside the fact of a third party.
"I didn't hesitate in that moment, and I don't feel guilty of what I did. That is what has been tormenting me for the last days." Said Drake as for the first time Yang could feel the sadness in his face.
Drake was expecting Yang to call him monster or something amongst those lines, but instead her arm in his shoulder and looked at him with a sad face
"You don't feel guilty because you did the right thing, have you not done the cut, he would have burned to death suffering all the way, you didn't have remorse for it because you knew the best you could, you cant just accept it."
Drake relief by hearing that, as if a great weight was taken from him.
Yang saw as his eyes returned to nomal and saw a sight she wanted to see for a time.
"Thank you Yang, you really know what to say in the right moments." Said Drake as he gave Yang a really sincere smile.
Yang just looked at him as he stood up and then offered his hand to Yang.
"Lets go the way to beacon by land takes a lot of time, and since my dumbass partner is not here to make us fly, I guess your bike will have to do."
Yang took his hand and stood up as she saw he returned to his poker face but also noticed something else.
"Hey, where are your goggles?"
Drake just stood there, looked at her, then at the sky.
"I lost them during the whole fight." Said Drake as he knew he just couldn't ask Ozpin another pair.
"you know, you shouldn't wear them, it is a crime hide that sight."
He just sighed as he sat in the bike while Yang putted on her helmet.
"Not happening Yang."
She looked at him while tuning on her bike.
"Then it is official, every time we talk only I get to see your eyes." Said Yang as she started to drive, while Drake just sighed 'This woman is impossible.'.
"By the way have you been drinking?" asked Yang since she knew full well the smell of alcohol.
"I had a terrible influence." Said Drake plain and simple.
"You know, maybe you should invite me a drink sometimes in the future, I know a guy that would let us drink for free." Said Yang as she took the highway.
"Maybe when you turn 18." Said Drake wondering if Qrow was also responsible for this attitude.
"I will hold you to that. Oh I almost forgot I want the reamtch" Said Yang while speeding up.
'This is gonna be a long trip to beacon.' Thought Drake
Storm Eagle was walking in an alley, he wasn't able to focus meaning he couldn't use his semblance at least he had completed the mission, now he only needed to pass the message.
"Well well well, he really did a number with you."
Eagle froze at the voice, it was robotic but he knew full well who was.
He turned around just to receive 2 bullets in his legs.
"Long time no see eagle, how long has it been 5 years, you look like shit." Said Axl as he got closer.
"I am surprised your brother hasn't found out what you are doing, do you really think you will be able to hide him forever?"
Axl just raised his gun straight to the head.
"No, but I can damn sure buy some time."
BANG
AN: that`s it folks 3 of the original mavericks are death.
I know that you may think that the figth between Adam and those 2 was short, I twas because it was supposed be short, plus I wanted to made an small canon for they guy, considering that Monty may not show him until the end of this volume.
Another thing I forgot to mention last chapter is that Ren will have an stronger role here along with Jaune, although I plan to be to follow canon as much as I can.
Almost forgot again, next chapter I have prepared an small cameo from another series, or at least an incarnation per say, here is a hint, she resembles Yang in some ways.
Thanks for reading
