A/N: For some reason people think this story's gonna have White Rose. It won't. That's my notp. No monochrome. No bumblebee. No enabler. No ladybug. No Freezerburn. Renora is the only one I'll tell you. The others you'll have to read to find out.
Ruby gripped her sniper rifle, and kicked in the door of the building the sniper had been on top of. The others followed her, Yang wielding a handgun she had found on the sniper's body, that Ruby had missed.
The inside of the building was mostly polished wood, but it was also falling apart. The wood had been split, moss and vines were growing on the walls. Blocking the main staircase was a rusting steel gate.
Yang went to kick in the gate, but Ruby stopped her. "We don't wanna let them know we're here." She said.
"Right." Yang said.
"They already know we're here." Weiss protested.
"No they don't. Or else they'd be coming down those stairs." Blake said.
"Get the fuck out!" Someone yelled.
"They know we're here." Ruby said.
"What's the plan?" Jaune asked her.
"Split up. Jaune, you're with me. Weiss and Pyrrha. Nora and Ren. Blake and Yang."
"Are you saying Jaune and you are a group and the rest of us have our own groups," Nora asked, "or are you saying that Jaune's with you and all of us?"
"She named the groups," Ren said, leading her away. "Wouldn't be splitting up."
Ruby sighed and face palmed. "Jaune and I'll go first. We'll signal for Pyrrha. Then Yang. Then Nora."
Ruby and Jaune carefully walked through a side hall, that had, at one point, been full of artifacts from the Great War. Now there was nothing, glass on the floor from where people smashed the glass cases. As soon as they reached the main staircase, they saw a man holding a twelve gauge. Ruby charged him, Jaune behind her.
She kicked him in the face, and he slammed the butt of his gun into her head, dazing her, as Jaune kicked his legs out from under neath him, and put a round into his head. The two waited, listening for anyone coming, before searching his body. No one came.
"You okay?" Jaune asked Ruby, seeing the blood running down from her forehead.
"Yeah," she said, "I'm fine."
He used his sleeve to wipe away the blood. "There you go." He said.
Then she collapsed.
A/N: I know this chapter was short, but I really wanted to build suspense for the next chapter. Mwhahahaha!
