Hello there fellow readers of this story RWBYfan29 here just wanted to say sorry for posting too little on the fanfic A Blank Torch. Been busy lately and haven't had that much time to upload more chapters. But now I will try and upload at least two chapters a week. Or a 1,000 word chapter to make up for my lack of uploads without further ado here is chapter 5.
Chapter 5
With two police cars following Mercury , Emerald and Cinder it was really causing a big scene. So much of a big scene that a light from above was now following the van. Decreasing their chances of escaping from the cops grasp. Mercury still trying to avoid the cops and the helicopter above. But proved futile because no matter where he went they were there already. Emerald broke one of the windows from the back of the van. Glass shattered everywhere in the area. And she proceeded to shoot at the police cars. The police tried to shoot back at the van's tires. But mercury was one step ahead and moved the van in a left in right motion as fast as he could . It almost looked like he was a drunk driver. This stopped the cops from trying to stop the van. He sped up and turned right in a intersection to buy Cinder some time to help Emerald. Cinder looked into the pile of dust vials to infuse more dust into her clothing. Then she discovered Roman and Neo under the pile. Cinder said in a shocking and angry tone "What are you guys doing here, here to stop us !?" Roman said in a calm voice " What no we are here to help you guys on your heist." "How could you possibly help us ?" "Wait and see how I can help." The cops were on the vans tail again. Roman got up from his laying down position and, joined Emerald in shooting the cops at the back. He took down a police car in a matter of seconds with his firework shots from his cane. Emerald brought one down as well just as quick. But in return a large amount of bullets hit the back of the van. Leaving the doors with several holes in it. And those two police cars were caught on fire and later exploded. Sending parts of the car in several directions. Several pedestrians running around in search of cover and dodging the pieces of the car. Mercury swerving the car left and right to avoid the parts flying his direction. Mercury said " Did you take down all five police cars?" "Wait there was five police cars." Roman said in shock voice. As soon as he did the van got shot in the front right tire. By the fifth police car from a distance. The van was sent hurling forward spinning in a 360 motion towards a shop. And then they crashed into the shop sending glass in a flurry everywhere. And to make matters worse the helicopter shot a missile down at the group. Just as the van stopped the missile quickly crashed into the van. And the van exploded in a loud boom. The shop was on fire luckily the owner was not in the shop. A big fire was on the site. Police cars entered the scene and the cops started to look for the criminals. But they did not find them which is surprising. The missile and the explosion should have been enough to kill them. Jacques and Ellie then joined in and asked " What the hell just happened." The police told them was just happened. Then a rain cloud of bullets and fireballs from a bullhead, headed straight toward the cops. Many cops fell toward the ground in that instant. He managed to dive to cover to avoid a fireball headed towards him. "You all right Ellie" he said. All he got in return was silence. He asked the same question again but no response. And all Jacques heard was the evil laughs of what would form Team CRMEN. He worriedly searched for Ellie praying that she was alive. For what seemed like 5 minutes he found her but she was in no good condition. She had big burn mark on her left leg. Her face looked it got the life sucked out of her. He got in a random police car in a hurry. And put Ellie in the passenger's side of the car. He then floored the gas and headed towards the nearest hospital hoping it was not too late to save her life. He finally arrived at the hospital with Ellie. The doctors and nurses quickly took action. Jacques waited in the waiting room he prayed that she would be alright. He sweated and almost broke into tears. Finally what seemed like an hour and thirty minutes. A nurse approached Jacques to present him with the news. Jacques jumped to his feet as soon as he saw her. He quickly said in a uneven tone " Is she alright please tell me she is ok." The nurse told him " She wanted me to tell you to go to her." He ran towards the room she was in as if his life depended on it. As he got there he said " Are you ok Ellie?" Ellie weakly said " I barely have any strength but other wise fine." "I am terribly sorry for what happened." Jacques barely said while crying on Ellie. Ellie put her hand gently on Jacques head. "You know what you could do for me?" she said barely audible. " What can I do for you?" Jacques said while wiping the tears away from his face. " Get….R-R-Roman Torchwick….back …. f-f for….me." When she finished her sentence she closed her eyes. Jacques gasped in horror of what followed next. He shook her gently "Ellie?" "Ellie!" " Please wake up." And in that moment he knew that Ellie had passed away. He cried on her stomach for 15 minutes. "I am sorry for bringing you in this mess had I known this would happen." He cried again for 3 minutes and then wiped the tears from his face. He then decided to change the plans. He called his pilot with his Scroll and told him "Instead of hunting down Faunus and White Fang members hunt down Roman Torchwick , and bring him to me alive." The pilot replied " Ok then we will get right on it sir." Roman's POV They were all going back to their hideout. Mercury piloted the bullhead back to base with the dust vials at the back. Roman asked "How do you pull off these last minute stunts?" Cinder said " I have been doing this awhile already and I know every possible outcome." Emerald said " What she means is it's better safe than sorry." Roman said " Sounds reasonable anyways can I join you guys I think someone like myself would be a good addi-. Neo elbowed him and gave him a glare and Roman groaned . Emerald "Well someone is wearing the pants in the relationship" she snickered. He ignored her and said " And Neo would be a good addition to your team. "Well you did help us back there" she said while putting her hand below Roman's chin. Neo watched her do that and through her face alone. You could see she was not comfortable with her doing that. She slightly blushed when she looked at Roman and Cinder. Emerald taking notice she teasingly said "Well aren't they the couple of the year" she elbowed Neo gently. Neo and Emerald then and introduced Neo to her room. While Cinder and Roman talked about this situation. Cinder said " I do need more help getting more dust." " Can't you just tell those two children you have to rob some for you" Roman said in a state the obvious tone. Cinder got Roman by the neck of the shirt pulling her close to him. So close there was barely any space between her and him. She said " Don't you think I thought of that already, they can't do this alone." "Which is why I need you and your ice cream girl to rob dust for me." " Ok you got it red lady." "The name Is Cinder and remember the name."
