Yo peeps, GMG here with chapter 15. I must say... I am a friggin idiot! Most people would be upset with a negative review, but the few I got made valid points. This chapter will be to explain Ruby and Blake's reaction to Weiss' pregnancy. I'm glad I had the week flash forward. Also, if I hadn't stated it before, this story is a learning experience for me as much as it's for entertaining you. I'll get started.
Disclaimer: Not my show, only the plot of this story...
Team RWBY sat backstage, resting on some couches. Ruby's gaze shifted to Weiss' stomach, a feeling of joy at the thought of the child growing in their. She reached over and intertwined her fingers with the heiress'. Blake doing the same on the other side. Her mind wandered back to the previous week.
Flashback (6 days ago)...
The three sat in the dorm, each doing something to pass the time. Blake was reading one one of the beds, Weiss was polishing her rapier, and Ruby was sketching. Weiss' sapphire eyes occasionally traced over to Ruby, who averted her gaze. It felt like a blow to the heart each time. After a few minutes, she set Myrtenaster aside and stood, making her way to the door. Ruby jumped up and grabbed her by the arm, stopping her. Weiss turned to face her, tears now evident on her cheeks.
Ruby pulled her into a hug, trying to comfort Weiss. "What's wrong?" She asked, "Why are you upset?"
Her voice muffled, Weiss replied. "I've been so worried about the baby and how you'd react, but you won't even look at me! Blake at least returns a glance!"
Ruby kissed the white hair she loved so much and tears fell from her eyes. "I'm sorry Weiss, I didn't mean to upset you." Pulling back, she stared into Weiss' eyes and smiled. "I love you so much, "she placed a hand on Weiss' stomach, "and I am so happy that you and I will have a child together."
Blake joined them, her golden eyes bright and happy. "I second the notion. I'm happy to know that we're capable of having children and that one is already on it's way is so thrilling."
Weiss yanked both into a hug, causing them to giggle slightly. They were so happy.
Back to Present...
The three smiled before turning to the screen that displayed the stage. Ozpin was introducing the final act.
"And now, for our last act, Tyson Graywall, Terry Graywall, and Vizar Cain."
The three strode out on to the stage, instruments in hand. Tyson flipped the mic skillfully before catching it in his hand. Terry held her's loosely in her hand and Vizar strummed a quick cord on his guitar. Tyson cleared his throat to speak, but was interrupted by a massive explosion. The ground shook and all the students turned to see the main tower falling. Tyson's expression hardened an he began speaking.
"Listen up! We got someone invading Beacon! Don't panic and we'll be fine. Get with your teams and find the enemy. Follow the orders of your teachers without question." He turned to Ozpin an threw the mic to the headmaster, who started giving out commands. A bright flash of green exploded and the students' weapons appeared before them. On the stage Tyson and Terry collapsed, their energy spent. Vizar took his guitar off and set it aside, pulling out a sword to defend the two of them.
He pulled off his fedora and tossed it behind him, wolf ears nestled in his wild brown hair. "Time for the WeaponMaster to fight once more."
From the surroundings, massive numbers of thugs charged at the students, red weapons at the ready. Behind Vizar, Team RWBY ran onto the stage.
He growled. "Girls, Guard Tyson and Terry. They should be ready in five minutes, meanwhile I have to find the cause of this."
"Alright," Ruby replied, brandishing her scythe, "You heard him! Diamond formation." Vizar rushed off as each girl took position around the downed pair.
As if fate, a figure dropped onto the stage, his white coat rippling as he stood. "Hello Red," he sneered, "If you'd step aside, I'd much appreciate it." Behind him another figure dropped onto the stage, this one female.
"Sorry," Ruby said, "But I can't do that." She turned to the others. "Weiss, you and Blake take care of the girl in the red dress. She uses magic like Weiss. Yang, you and I will face Torchwick."
Said criminal chuckled. "They have a plan, how adorable." His look darkened as he raised Candy Cane up. "Too bad, but you'll die."
Yang and Blake charged forward, aiming for their respective targets. Yang engaged Torchwick throwing wild punches, that he smoothly blocked or dodged, countering with strikes of his own. Yang was desperately trying to ward off his strikes, her gauntlets crossed over her head to block a strike from his cane. He kicked her back, only for Ruby to start slicing at him, her silver eyes flashing with anger. He knocked away her blade an jumped back to avoid a shot from Yang. He lashed out, holding his cane by the barrel, and pulled Yang into reach. The blonde lost her balance and was launched back by a fist to the face. Not wasting his time, he ran forward, getting too close to Ruby for her to use her scythe effectively. She dodged with remarkable speed, throwing punches that were blocked and countered.
Meanwhile, Blake was jumping wildly to avoid the mines placed by the witch. Gambol Shroud quickly turned into its scythe form and was launched at the witch, a gunshot speeding it forward. The woman danced out of its reach before countering with a ball of fire. A small flurry of ice glyphs flew forward and struck the ball, dispersing it, and Weiss jumped over Blake. She swung Myrtenaster down at the woman, who sidestepped and nailed her in the chest with a punch.
"Weiss!" Cried Blake, her amber eyes narrowing. She dashed forward and struck the woman in the stomach and swing her sheath down at the woman. The witch rolled away from the strike, but was kicked in the side, sending her tumbling away. Blake turned to see Torchwick standing over Ruby, his cane held above him.
Ruby tried to move, but her body wouldn't respond to her commands. She watched as the cane descended, time slowing down. At least she had gotten the chance to be with the girls she loved, but at this moment it seemed like their dream would end. They were all pieces on a board, their blood staining it. Ruby resigned herself to her fate, and prayed that Weiss and Blake would be alright. Time sped up, but the strike never came.
A clang of steel against chains sounded out and Ruby saw Tyson holding the cane at bay. His daggers in hand and the chain pulled taut between them.
"So you've woken up Tyson," said Torchwick, "perhaps now I can finish you of properly."
Tyson pushed Roman back and the chain between his weapons vanished, leaving only the daggers. He and Torchwick started exchanging blows, cane slamming against daggers. Feints and counters. When one struck, the other blocked or dodged. Tyson tried for a sweep, but Torchwick jumped over it and swung Candy Cane down. Tyson parried and countered with a slash. Torchwick jumped back and aimed his weapon at Tyson, firing a round at the GateMaster who dodged.
Torchwick found himself having to block a strike from a new figure. Terry, dressed like Tyson and holding a massive sword, had joined them. She swung the great sword, causing Torchwick to dodge. Seeing as he was outnumbered he fled.
"You win for now, but I will return!"
The witch had also disappeared, no trace of her anywhere. Tyson walked over and hoisted Ruby up. She grabbed her scythe and nodded, rejoining her team. The two teams split and headed into the fighting, ripping through the thugs.
With Tyson...
Tyson and Terry dashed through the massive battle, striking any enemy in reach and searching for their friend. They found him striking down enemy after enemy, every type of imaginable weapon scattered around him. He struck one with an axe before dropping it and lashing out with a dagger. The two joined him and began taking out the surrounding forces.
Vizar grinned wolfishly, standing back to back with them. "Just like old times."
Tyson chuckled. "Indeed Vizar. Nostalgic isn't it?"
"Would the two of you shut up?" Terry scolded. "We're surrounded by enemies and you want to reminisce about 'old times'? I don't even know why I help you two."
Sighing, the two males stopped and focused on the fighting around them. Tyson was still worried about Ruby and her team, though.
With RWBY...
What occurred was best described as a ring of death. Any enemy in range was dropped by the team, falling to the ground around them. They were relentless, but their strength was failing. Weiss was first, her dust stores depleted as she slumped to the ground. Blake was next, the constant strikes wearing her out as she too collapsed. Ruby fought tenaciously, wanting to protect her lovers, but swinging a large weapon without ammo was hard, even for her. Her arms, like lead, dropped to her sides and Crescent Rose clanged to the ground. Yang, best suited for hand to hand combat, was still going. She stopped any who got close to the team, but she was flagging. A strike to the chest sent her to the ground as the thugs appeared around them.
A flash of brown appeared and the thugs fell, a figure standing over them. He was a teenager garbed in a grey hoodie and black cargo shorts. He wore long brown boots and his black hair was streaked with brown. His face was bandages and his eyes hidden behind goggles. Two long steel claws protruded from each hand, their ends hooked.
"Seems like I appeared on time. Chris Crauss, at your service." His voice was clipped and sharp as he glared at the enemies drawing closer. "Let's see how they take on the TravelMaster."
He disappeared, teleporting place to place, and slamming the enemy into the ground. He struck down twenty in under a minute and the others fled. Once they were out of view, he sagged slightly, the drain on his energy visible.
"Damn." He muttered. "Half my stores gone an so fast too."
Sitting down, he kept watch for any who would harm the resting team behind him.
Overview...
The battles through out Beacon were ended finally, without any loss of students. Whenever they were about to be killed, a figure would appear and stave off the numerous thugs. The figures helped the weary and injured to the hospital wing of the school or their dorms based on the severity of their injuries.
Tyson, Terry, and Vizar stood before Ozpin, the headmaster looking tired from the struggle. Chris appeared in a flash of brown, Team RWBY with him. Glynda stepped over and began to examine the girls for injuries, while Ozpin turned to the four before him.
"On behalf of Beacon, I extend to you our gratitude. We know that it was a lot of trouble for you and ask how we may repay such deeds."
Tyson stepped forward and pulled down his mask, a smile playing across his face. "We need no repayment for that which we have volunteered to do, sadly we may not involve ourselves further." He pulled out a flash drive and handed it to the headmaster. "Roman Torchwick has been advancing his plans and this should help you in the struggle against him. On the drive you will find contacts and allies who can help you." He turned and opened a portal, looking over his shoulder at Ozpin. "Remember Ozpin, though troubles lie ahead, the strongest bonds will prevail over evil."
Team TCTC walked through the portal that closed behind them. Glynda stood and walked over to Ozpin, placing a chaste kiss on his lips. Wrapping her in a hug, he glanced at the crumbled tower and frowned. Torchwick would be made to pay.
Next Day...
Ruby woke up, her eyes snapping open. Her body was sore and the room was white. She looked around and saw her team in beds around her, sleeping peacefully. Removing her sheets, she shifted off the bed and padded over to the two beds that contained Blake and Weiss. She smiled, happy that the two were alright and safe before turning to head to the bathroom.
Entering the small room she glanced at the mirror and froze. Running vertically over her right cheek was a red scar, fresh from the battle. She reached up and touched it, the sting causing her to pull her hand back. She grinned at her reflection, the image smiling back. Maybe if she got cat ears, she'd look like Blake too.
Maybe...
End...
Sadly my peeps, we have reached the end of this tale. Due to NanoWrimo I wrapped this up, but there will be a sequel. Starting sometime in December, I will post a new story: BCBII: Waging War. It will be focused on their struggle against Torchwick, who has begun his plan to take over Vytal. Goodbye for now. This is GateMasterGreen, Signing off!
