While the fighting continued Qrow was sneaking around and took a sigh and one last drink of whiskey and jumped over the old fencing on one side and snuck behind a few buildings and junk laying around. He noticed a pile of the bombs and put a timed bomb under them.
"This will give me time once this goes off..." He said to himself and noticed one larger building than the others with Ravens symbol on them.
He knew she was in there and knew what he had to do.
"Okay, here we go." He said to himself and approached slowly creeping along the back still. He noticed two guards in the front holding powerful guns even if older tech they would be a challenge never the less.
Qrow snuck around back and noticed six guards in the back and a stairway to a riverboat, possibly for Raven to escape in. Qrow undid his broadsword and quickly ran toward them and cut all the men down in a quick speed before they could shoot him. He heard noises as one guard came out holding a large ax and swung it down at Qrow who jumped and landed on the handle of the large ax and stabbed his broadsword into the man's head and pulling it out of his skull.
"Brain juices... great." He sighed having to clean his weapon later and he walked inside slowly.
Inside he looked around only to see Raven with her feet up on the table holding her own sword in her hands looking at Qrow.
"I could feel you nearby and all this? A waste of my time!" She said kicking the table at him as he moved away only for her to swing her blade near his head.
He lunged away from her only for the tip of her blade to cut him across the cheek. He tilted a little and smirked.
"Nice a little nick from my sister." He said to her and swung his blade at her where she wasn't expecting it to be toward her head, she blocked it only for him to change his broadsword into a scythe right there in front of her, the blade then cutting her own cheek.
Both of them leaped away from each other and stood there looking at one another.
"It's going to be a shame, Me being the only elder of the Family." he said to her as she just shrugged.
"This family was doomed when created and you know this." She said to him.
"Doomed? Yeah but we can change Raven, you just didn't like change. You liked what Mom and our aunts did, you hated how we killed them and took a grudge against us." He told her.
"Do not compare me to our mother! I hated her guts!" She yelled toward Qrow showing her anger.
"Yet you are following in her and her sister's path to cause chaos why?" He said to her asking his question.
"I am doing this to prove to this world that no one is greater than another, this alliance of free systems is trying to control everyone! The government! Everyone is blind, we need tyranny to control a world, not a bunch of knows it all politicians!" She said as Qrow just shook his head.
"Then that's controlling the people, we give people freedom." he said to her.
"Freedom is a weakness!" She said as both of them stared at each other.
"Raven, Freedom isn't weakness. I think you just want to be free from the past and what we all did in the past." he told her which shocked her a little making her nearly turn to walk away but she didn't she instead slammed her foot on the floor.
"What we did was survive! The weak are meat, the strong will feast!" She screamed at him and ran at her brother with her weapon aimed at him.
Qrow moved to the side and swung his blade toward her but she blocked it before he could make a successful blow. She grunted and pushed his weapon down only to try to punch him in the face with her other hand. The punch landed on Qrows cheekbone making a short coughing sound from him and he swung his weapon again at her as both of them dueled fighting one another. Outside Ravens gang kept a strong defense toward the Alliance.
"We need more firepower!" Jacob shouted over to Taliyo who was in the guard tower still shooting at any bad guy he saw.
"No grenades up here sorry! We are out!" He shouted down to him as he was then shot in the shoulder.
"Taliyo!" Vulpix shouted as he yelled down at them. "I'm fine! Keep attacking!" he said to them.
Raven kicked Qrow away and ran outside the back and over her dead guards. She turned around throwing a grenade into the building as Qrow seen it roll in he ran under a table and it exploded causing the building to collapse and set on fire. Raven ran collecting one of the bombs and took off toward the river nearby.
Qrow soon following caught up to her and shoved her down making her roll down the path. The bomb freed from her hands Qrow took it quickly and activated it throwing it at the boat nearby and ducked.
"No!" Raven screamed as the bomb set off tearing the boat apart and the water to spray everywhere. Raven swung her blade at Qrow who rolled away from it and caught her leg to try to yank her off her feet. Raven falling over kicked Qrow in the face and rolled to get on top of him and tried to slam her blade into his chest where he grabbed her blade with his bare hands grunting trying to stop her. Blood trickled down his hand as he gripped it as it cut into him.
"No..." He said to himself as Raven tried to push it into him glaring at him.
"I hate you!" She shouted.
"I loved you!" Qrow yelled back.
Raven in surprise tilted her head and loosened a little.
"Yes, Raven damn it your my sister! I hate what you are doing, its why I want to put you in prison than kill you!" Qrow said to her.
"I am trying to make this world better!" Raven shouted.
"By controlling the people like a dictator? That isn't the way!" He said to her as she thought about it. Soon she pulled up away from him and threw her weapon away.
"... damn it Qrow!" She said to him crying as Qrow sat up and hugged her.
"Tell your men to stop." He said. Raven looked at him and sighed.
"Help me up." She said as he did just that, she then took her cloth out of her pocket and wrapped his bleeding hands for him
"There." She said to him with a smirk and him smirking back laughing.
Then both of them heard a sharp ping sound and Raven started to drool blood from her mouth.
