Twin Flames Chapter 2

Ruby said "Phew, that was hard work, tying up all of the White Fang members that we caught."

Cassadaria walked over to one of them, she asked "Do you know where Roman Torchwick is?"

Ruby asked "Tell me do you know about a woman named Cinder."

The White Fang remember remained silent.

Ruby said "One of you will tell us, the question who will spill it and even if none of you don't that just mean we will capture more of you."

A siren signal started to make noise.

Ruby said "Well if you want to be arrested."

The White Fang member said "Fine, you would want to speak with Adam, take this picture in my pocket."

Ruby grabs the picture and frees 20 of their restraints then leaves allowing them to free the others.

At Beacon the next morning. Yang, Weiss and Blake were training with each other when a messenger came.

Yang asked "Is it about Ruby?"

The messenger said "The 3 of you come with me."

They arrive at Ozpin's office.

Ozpin said "I have good new and something may or may not constitute bad news."

Yang said "Give us the good news first"

Ozpin said "Ruby was spotted and we are tracking her now."

Weiss asked "What is the bad news?"

Ozpin said "She attacked a gathering of the White Fang and she already seems to be on the way to another meeting place."

Yang asked "She is with Cassadaria, have you uncovered the promise she made to her?"

Ozpin said "She made a promise to Cassadaria to save her sister Cinder Fall."

Yang asked "What will that entail?"

Ozpin said "She will clash with powers beyond your understanding."

2 months later, Ruby is sitting in a small building. Cassadaria walked in.

Ruby asked "So where are we striking next?"

Cassadaria said "We have located Tyrian, we will have to follow him, he works for Salem as well so maybe we will find her there."

Ruby said "Alright."

The follow Tyrian to a strange portal.

Cassadaria asked "How's that second aura treating you?"

Ruby said "It is slightly straining but it is the only thing keeping my first aura from tearing me apart."

Cassadaria said "We should try to avoid meeting up with Salem directly, she is more powerful than the 2 of us combined."

Ruby said "Alright let's be sneaky, we don't want to get noticed."

They sneak enter the portal and find a tall tower.

Cassadaria whispered "I never thought I would be back here again."

Ruby asked "Where is the entrance?"

Cassadaria said "I will lead."

Ruby followed Cassadaria into the castle. They sneak around.

Ruby and Cassadaria see a few guards moving and try to hide in a room Cassadaria turned around.

Cassadaria froze "It's, it's Salem."

Salem said "You have five seconds to leave this room and I may pretend you weren't here."

Ruby Turns around.

Salem said "Well this changes things, you both have to die now."

Ruby said "You take those 2, I will stall Salem."

Tyrian smiles "This will be fun."

Hazel said "Be serious, Tyrian."

Cassadaria started exchanging blows with Tyrian and Hazel.

Ruby swings her scythe at Salem. Salem easily doges each swing, Ruby starts punching and kicking but can't land a blow on Salem.

Salem then starts hitting Ruby repeatedly.

Ruby thought (I just have to release it, just keep taking the blows.)

Salem said "Bow to me and I might spare you."

Cassadaria shouts "Ruby"

Hazel kicks one of Cassadaria legs breaking it. Ruby second aura glows yellow and smashes Salem into her chair. Ruby then grabs Cassadaria and dashes out of the side of the castle using Speed.

Salem stood up "It seems she has 2 semblances that makes her very dangerous, she was taking all those hits and delivered a blow back with all that force back at me."

Hazel asked "Should we chase them?"

Salem said "No, that was Cassadaria she know hers way out of here."

Ruby asked "Cassadaria do you have a way out of here my semblance is about to fail?"

Cassadaria said "I have to open a portal."

Cassadaria opened a portal and they both fell through it.

Cassadaria said "We are in trouble."

Ruby said "Mother, I may see you on the other side today."

Cassadaria shouted "Ruby what are you doing?"

Ruby said "Saving your life."

Cassadaria shouted "Don't you do it."

Ruby gave her remaining aura to Cassadaria. 2 hours later Cassadaria woke up. She saw Ruby lying there bleeding.

Cassadaria said crying "Ruby, you'll be alright."

Ruby cough up blood as she speaks "I'm sorry I won't make it."

A giant flying ship picked them both up. Ruby lay there on the ship.

They arrive aboard a much larger ship.

Ruby was taken into separate ward.

A few weeks later when she woke, a man introduced himself to Cassadaria "I am Ironwood, headmaster of Atlas Academy."

Cassadaria said "I must be with Ruby, she has stood with even when every though I am a monster, a half-Grimm."

Ironwood said "A Dead-Eye, hmm, well you better see your friend."

24 hours later Cassadaria walked to to see Ruby sitting there.

Cassadaria said "You seem fine."

Ruby said "No I'm not I have 10 hours left before the stitchs holding my heart together burst from the force of my heartbeat."

A tall man arrives 9 and half hours later.

Ruby said "I'm so sorry Uncle Qrow."

Qrow said "Don't worry we should spend some time together."

Cassadaria said "I'm sorry, this is my fault I took her into danger."

Ruby said "No I am glad to have met you, I am sorry to have to fail to keep my promise."

Ruby and Qrow share a few words, she then feels a sharp pain in her chest and collapses on the bed. 2 weeks later At Beacon a messenger arrives in Team RWBY's Room.

The messenger said "Yang, you are wanted to be seen at Ozpin's office."

Yang arrived at Ozpin's Office, she asked "Why have I been called, shouldn't the others be here?"

Ozpin said "You may need some time alone to process this."

Ozpin handed her a note.

Yang read it and she asked desperately "This can't be happening?"

Ozpin said "Unfortunately it's true."

Yang bolted out of the room and ran outside of the academy, dropping the note next to her team's room. Weiss picked up the note rand read it.

Blake asked "What is it?"

Weiss said tears streaming down her face "It's the funeral of Ruby Rose."

Blake said "No, it can't be."

Weiss said "This is why Yang didn't come back."

2 days later they arrive at the funeral. Yang looks at the coffin. Qrow and Taiyang stand beside her. Weiss and Blake are standing behind her.

Yang walked away upset. Weiss and Blake followed her.

Yang sits on her own.

Weiss ask "Are you alright?"

Yang said "Maybe If I was there she would still be alive now."

Weiss said "I want to know what happened, I will get it out of her."

Weiss walked over and grabbed Cassadaria, she dragged her over to Yang.

Weiss asked angrily "What caused this?"

Cassadaria said "We went to rescue my sister and we got into a fight with Salem, we escaped and she gave me the last of the her aura to save me."

Qrow walked over and saw Cassadaria sitting there.

Qrow asked "Why is she here?"

Weiss said "We wanted some information about what happened to Ruby, do you know who Salem is."

Qrow said angry "What Salem she is a very powerful person and incredibly dangerous, she is not on to be taken lightly."

Cassadaria said "It was an accident, we just got noticed by her and well it all went downhill from there."

Qrow walked away.

5 Months past, the remainder of Team RWBY were in their room.

Ozpin walked in.

Yang asked "Why are you here?"

Ozpin said "You all have been have been underachieving, it seems the passing of your leader has put you in bad spirits."

Yang shouted "What are you implying?"

Ozpin said "You need a new leader."

Weiss asks "Shouldn't one of us be the leader, we have more experience."

Ozpin said "We have a new student, she has proven herself quite capable."

The girl walks in and bows to them, she was wearing a blue shirt and jeans while her eyes were blood red, her black hair was half-way down her back.

Yang said "She is quite young."

The girl said "My name is Alexandria Shadowsight but you can just call me Alex."

Weiss said "Weiss Schnee."

Alex said "I know you, heir to the Schnee Dust Company."

The next morning, Alex shakes Yang. Yang opens her eyes .

Yang said "Come on it's early."

Alex said "You have to play catchup now, you seem to have been slacking off in training, wake everyone else up."

Yang woke up both Weiss and Blake. They all arrive outside the building at the crack

of dawn.

Alex said "Show me what you are capable of."

Yang shouted "I will show you what I am capable of."

Yang tried to hit Alex and she dodged to the side.

Alex said "I expected better come on."

Yang swung multiple blows, Alex dodged each one and gave her a sharp kick. Yang's semblance flares up and she rushes at Alex. Alex dodges her attack and kicks her again.

Alex said "My advice, don't let you emotions control you."

Alex said "Weiss, your next."

Weiss said "Alright."

Weiss pulls her sword out and Alex does the same.

Weiss and Alex swung their swords at each other. Alex and Weiss continued on for a few hours.

Weiss said "Your really good."

Alex said "You are a little to tense and serious, be a little more loose."

Weiss said "I'll try."

Alex then said "Blake, your turn."

Blake nodded. Blake created clones and all 3 charged at Alex. Alex struck the 2 clones and slammed Blake away with a elbow.

Alex said "Blake you need to improve you defences a little bit."

They returned to their dorm.

Yang asked "What have you being doing since the commencement of the year."

Alex said "Fighting Grimm, they have grown in number quite considerably of late, I have also had a confrontation with the White Fang over a robbery of dust store months back."

Weiss said "The White Fang are awful bunch of degenerates, always stealing from others."

Blake said "That's uncalled for."

Weiss replied "I don't care for those are criminally insane."

Blake replied "The White Fang aren't psychopath, their just misguided Faunus."

Weiss said "They are trying to wipe humanity off the face of the planet."

Blake said "That just mean they are very misguided."

Weiss said "The White Fang are a bunch of scum."

Blake said "They are fighting for something."

Yang leaves the room and Alex just watches.

Weiss shouts "They are bunch of terrorists that cause a lot of harm."

Blake shouts back "They have a cause too."

Weiss shouts "It seems all Faunus are good for is causing more problems, these White Fang have being causing harm all over."

Blake shouts "You ignorant little brat."

Weiss shouts "I am your teammate, you can't treat me like that."

Blake shouts "Your a judgemental little girl who has no idea what she is talking about."

Yang re-enters the room.

She asks "Are they done yet?"

Alex said "No, I am trying to follow what is being said I want to know where this is coming from with both perspectives being considered equally."

Weiss shouts "What makes you say that?"

Blake shouts "That opinion makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe them to be."

Weiss shouts "So you admit it's the truth."

Blake shouts "That's not what I meant."

Jaune walks in with Pyrrha.

Pyrrha said "Yang , Alex, we are trying to sleep."

Alex said "This is important, this will disrupt your for many nights if we don't resolve this now."

Weiss shouts "I don't understand why this is a being so problematic."

Blake shouts "That is why it's a problem."

Weiss shouts "You know your defending an organisation that hates humanity don't you, they are evil in all forms."

Blake shouts "There is no such thing as pure evil, why do you think they hate humanity so much, it's because of people like Cardin and people like you, that make them have to take drastic action."

Weiss said shocked "People like me."

Blake shouted "Your discriminatory."

Weiss shouts "I'm a victim."

Pyrrha asks "How much longer is this going to go for, they have been at it for hours?"

Alex said "They may keep going all night and if not resolved every night until the end of the year."

Weiss said "You want to know why I despise the White Fang and Faunus because they have been at war with my family for year, they have cause much bloodshed, my father always came home furious causing me to have a very rough childhood."

Weiss shouts "I don't like them because they are a bunch of thieves, liars and murderers."

Blake shouted "Maybe we were just tired of being pushed around."

Alex said "So that's why."

Blake realised what she said and darted out the door.

Alex said "We better get some sleep, it's too late for a search."

The next morning, Alex wakes up early and wakes up Weiss.

Ruby said "Get ready, you have 10 minutes to set up."

Weiss got herself ready and met with Alex in the town.

Weiss asked "Why is Yang allowed to sleep?"

Alex said angrily "Because this doesn't involve her, it involves you and Blake"

A girl with red hair ran up.

She shouted "Alex, friend."

Alex ran up and they both slammed their fist into each other.

Alex said "It's good to see you Penny."

Penny said "It's good to see my friend."

Weiss asked "Who is this?"

Alex said "This is Penny, you think I fought the White Fang on my own."

Alex asked "I could use some help a friend of mine named Blake has disappeared can you help me find her."

Penny said "Sure, friend."

Weiss said "This is taking forever."

Alex said "This is you fault."

Penny asked "Who is Blake?"

Alex said "She is a black haired Faunus who is a former member of the White Fang."

Penny said "I was going to investigate the White Fang they were planning a heist of dust."

Alex said "We have to go then."

They arrive to find Blake fighting Roman Torchwick.

Alex,Weiss and Penny jump in to join the fight.

Roman said "You 2 again, always getting in my way."

Alex said "Roman, you are not getting away again."

She summons a huge hook and crashes his ship. She then ties him up in rope.

A few hours later James Ironwood arrived.

Ironwood said "You 2 are back in action."

Alex said "No, I was just helping a friend and he just happened to be here."

Ironwood said "Thank you, we will handle the rest here."

Alex said "Very well I will head back to Beacon."

Blake said "I shouldn't go back."

Alex said "I am here to fix this between you two now that I know what's going on, we will discuss in the dorm, if we are going to be a team we need to resolve this."

They arrive back at Beacon. Alex sits Weiss and Blake down in the dorm.

Yang said "I'm up."

Yang looks around.

Alex said "We left without you need the sleep."

Yang said "This look serious."

Alex said "It is, you should leave this between the 3 of us."

Yang said "Alright."

Yang leaves the room.

Alex said "Weiss, you are the heir of the Schnee Dust company and you have struggled as a child because of the White Fang."

Weiss said "Yes."

Alex then said "Before you speak Blake let's take that ribbon off and let your tail out, how do you expect to be treated with respect for what you are when you hide it, by showing your heritage you will enable a better peace."

Blake took of her ribbon and let her tail out.

Alex said "Blake, you are former member of the White Fang since child hood, attended every protest but once they started to be more violent."

Blake said "Yes."

Weiss asked "What is the point your trying to make?"

Alex said "Because of you Faunus workforce, the White Fang protested at your doors as well as many other's doors but no-one listened. Then when the White Fang changed becoming more violent, replacing peaceful protest with vandalism, theft and murder. Do you what the scary part about that is, it worked. The Faunus were abused by humans for so long and their peaceful protests were ignored, they were treated no better than animals, yet when they they took up arms they were treated as equals."

Weiss said "So."

Alex said "There is a problem with the world, when the only way to get treated as equal even though your different is through force of arm, they tried peace and it didn't work. I have spoken with several former White Fang members who didn't like this and left they said the White Fang greatly decreased in numbers since then going from 2 million to a total of 10 000 almost overnight. I also spoke to non-member Faunus. They didn't like the methods of the White Fang, the only reason they don't do more against them is they can't deny , that this method gets results."

Weiss said "So this is our fault as well."

Alex said "You are the heir of the Schnee Dust Company, you can make change if you just try."

Weiss said "Your right."

Blake said "I know what they do is bad, that's why I left, It's just we have been treated are as animals for so long, we don't want to lose our equality."

Weiss said "I'm sorry, I didn't realise, you sound like the right person to lead Faunus to a brighter future working with humans, someone who understands the difference between violence and peace as motives."

Blake and Weiss shake hands.
