C/A/N: (Co-Authors Note)

Now let's get one thing sorted out the reason why it has taken so long for this chapter is entirely my fault. I became really ill (I was off College for a week) and didn't feel like writing at all while I was sick. Then after I got better I fell sick again (luckily it wasn't as bad as the last one). Then after that I've been busy as I've just had my first lot of GCSE Chinese tests. So yes it's all my fault for the delay and I'm really sorry about it.


Chapter 4

It took till morning for it to be deemed safe for everyone to evacuate. It would be some time for everyone to head to the docks where the airships would be ready to take everyone to the other kingdoms. All the citizens and students started getting ready, well all except two.

"Sun I've decided."

Blake said turning to face him.

"And?"

"And I am going to leave."

Blake said sighing.

"I have to find Adam I have to stop his madness."

"I'll help you Blake."

"I know you will."

Blake said smiling.

"I actually want you too as well."

She said turning away to hide her blush.

Sun chuckled as he saw what she was trying to do.

"So how do we tell the others?"

"I ha-hadn't thought of that part."

Blake said at a loss on what to do.

"I guess I just simply thought of running away... just like I always do."

"Well you don't have to do that anymore."


Ruby rubbed her tired eyes, hardly anyone had slept that night as the Grimm haunted their dreams. Ruby couldn't sleep as she was far too worried about her sister. Ruby had been told that physically Yang would be fine but they have yet to see how much the wound will affect her psychologically, as she had not woken yet.

"Hey Ruby."

Weiss said as she walked towards her friend.

"Didn't sleep well?"

"No."

Ruby said sadly.

"I couldn't stop worrying about Yang."

"I would be the same in your shoes."

Weiss said picturing Winter in Yang's condition.

"But I have faith that your sister will be fine. And don't worry we're all here for you."

Ruby almost couldn't stop her tears.

"Thank you Weiss!"

She said happily as she hugged Weiss.

"You're welcome."

Weiss said as she hugged her friend back.

"Hey guys."

Ruby and Weiss turned to see a nervous looking Blake.

"Can we talk?"

"Of course we can, Blake."

Weiss said concerned.

"Not here though."

Blake said looking around, feeling like there were too many people around.

Ruby and Weiss followed Blake as she led them to a more isolated area.

"What's wrong?"

Ruby asked.

Blake sighed before saying.

"I'm leaving."

"What?!"

Weiss said shocked.

"If I stay any longer I fear you will end up like Yang or worse."

"Why do you say that?"

Ruby asked.

"The person that hurt me and injured Yang is someone I use to be very close to back when I was in the White Fang."

Blake unconsciously pressed her hand against her stomach.

"He doesn't even seem sane anymore and he is prepared to kill me and anyone close to me"

"Then why are you going after him?"

Weiss asked her confused.

"If he's really like what you describe then to me it sounds like you're going on suicide mission."

"I know that."

Blake said sadly.

"But I've had enough of him hurting people and tormenting me."

"Blake please don't do this."

Ruby said. She was afraid of Blake ending up like Yang

"Don't worry Ruby. I'm not going alone."

Blake said smiling.

"Sun is coming with me."

"Sun?"

Weiss said surprised.

"Yeah. He was determined to come with me even if I said no."

"Blake will yo-"

"Well that settles it."

Weiss said interrupting Ruby.

"If Monkey Boy's going with you then you'll be fine."

"What?"

Ruby said confused

"Just don't take too long. We'll need your support in this fight"

Blake was touched by Weiss' trust in her.

"Of course."

Blake smiled before walking.

"I'll see you all again soon."

After Blake left Ruby gave a concerned look to Weiss.

"Are you really sure she'll be fine?"

"Of course she will."

Weiss said as she placed her hand on Ruby's shoulder.

"Have more faith in your team."


"Hey Neptune."

Sun said waving towards his friend.

"Hey man."

Neptune said smiling.

"Listen I've got to tell you something."

"Sure. What is it?"

"I won't be coming along with everyone else."

"Why?"

"I'm leaving with Blake to go after the guy who hurt her and Yang."

"Just the two of you?"

Neptune said sounding concerned.

"Why don't I come with you?"

"No."

Sun said sadly.

"I know I'm always about getting your friends to help you in times of need."

Sun sighed.

"But this time I feel it's far too dangerous to do this with everyone."

"It's alright. I understand man."

Sun then laughed.

"Besides if you came with us who's going to keep Weiss company?"

Neptune tried not to blush at Sun's remark.

"Very funny."

"Anyway I'm leaving you in charge while I'm away."

"I won't let you down man."

"You better not."

Sun said smiling.

"Don't get in any trouble."

Sun said as he walked away.

"Or near any water."

He said laughing. Neptune just smiled at his best friend.


Everyone in the safe zone started to head towards the airships. Team RWBY, JNPR, SSSN headed for the airship to take them to Patch, while team CFVY headed for an airship that would take them to a town in Vale, where Velvet's parents lived. But Jaune, who was walking slower as Pyrrha was unused to crutches and couldn't go fast with them, stopped following the others.

"What's wrong Jaune?"

Pyrrha asked.

"If it's alright, I want to go home first and check on my family before we follow the others."

"Of course it is."

Pyrrha said smiling.

"Hey everyone!"

Jaune shouted out, as the other were further ahead now.

"We'll catch up later."

Jaune said waving as he and Pyrrha headed for a different airship. They were accompanied by Ren and Nora.


As the crowds of people went into the airships nobody noticed four individuals who seemed out of place. They didn't look unusual, apart from one of them having one of her hands missing and what was remaining bandaged, but it was their behaviour that was off they weren't frighted, eager to leave or in a hurry. All of them just took their time as they made their way through and were even smiling.

Cinder tried not to laugh at how easily everyone was making it to escape. Currently she along with Mercury and Emerald were in disguises they had gotten by luring a few survivors from the safe zone away and killed them, as they were leaving a few more murders didn't matter.

Neo was the only one among them who could disguise herself and didn't need to steal one. As she followed the others she briefly caught sight of the red hooded brat. She grinned at the many possible ways she could think of to kill her.


Blake stood there nervously as she waited for Sun.

"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting."

Sun said as he approached.

"It's alright."

Blake said smiling.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Almost."

Blake said as she reached up and untied her bow.

"I've had enough of running away."

She said as she let her bow fall to the ground.


Adam started laughing as he knew his little Blake was coming for him. He decided to leave Beacon, as it would be no fun for his love to die so soon. He wanted to see how long Blake would to catch up to him.

"Let's see how good you are at playing chase my little kitten"
