I don't own RWBY or its characters. They belong to Rooster Teeth.
Yang and Taiyang were sitting in a cab being driven through the capital of Atlas, Stormhard. It was raining outside and Yang were looking out of the window.
"You still want to go through with this." Taiyang said.
"Yes. Besides I been needing to get a new arm." Yang said.
The car stops at a stoplight. Yang looks outside the window of the car and see's two girls walking down the street, laughing with each other. One of the girls had black hair and the other was a blonde. She smiles at this because it remind her of all the good times she had with Ruby.
"Do you think Ruby is okay?" Yang asked.
"Knowing her, she's probably doing great." Taiyang said. They both chuckled.
"I wonder if anyone cares about the incident with me and Mercury." Yang said.
"No, I think people would have move on." Taiyang said.
"I hope your right." Yang said.
The cars stops in front of a building called "Atlas Prosthetic Center". They exited the vehicle and headed into the building.
Camera switches to inside the building
The lounge had white walls and ceiling, but the floor was brown. There were some plants against the wall.
Yang and Taiyang walked to the main desk. There was a lady with red hair writing down stuff on a piece of paper.
"Excuse us, we have an appointment with the Prosthetic replacement." Taiyang said.
"For?" The woman asked.
"For Yang Xia Long." Taiyang said.
The woman grab the phone and pressed a few numbers.
"Yeah we have appointment for Prosthetic replacement for Yang Xia Long." The women said. She put the phone back down.
"Down the left hall, third room on your right." The Women said. Yang and Taiyang follow her instructions and walk down that hall.
They enter a room and a doctor was already there. The doctor was wearing a white coat and green shirt.
"Alright lay down on this bed." The Doctor said. Yang laid down on bed and looked at the ceiling. There were robotic arms coming out of ceiling. One of the robot arms was holding another arm. The Doctor put a mask on Yang and turn the gas on.
"This will take a while, it's best for you to sleep through it." The Doctor said. Yang eyes began to close as she loses conscious.
"This will be over soon." Taiyang said. Yang eyes closed completely as the Robotic arms began to remove the bandages.
Yang wakes up and let out a massive groan. She rubs her hand on head and turns to the doctor and her father.
"Did it work?" Yang asked.
"Look for yourself." The Doctor said. Yang then notices that arm she was rubbing her head with, was robotic. Her eyes widen in shock. Yang moves her new arm away and begins to inspect. She's moves her arm around to see how it looks. She then moved robotic fingers with a thought and gives a thumbs up.
"Thank you." Yang said.
"It will take a while before the nerves and the arm to properly fuse, I suggest you relax and reframed from doing anything extreme." The Doctor said.
"I can't promise you that." Yang said.
"Come back anytime if you need any more replacement." The Doctor said. Taiyang and Yang exit the room and walk back the way they came.
"How's the new arm?" Taiyang asked.
"It's going to take some getting used to." Yang said.
"Want to get something to drink." Taiyang said.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Yang said.
"Yang, don't worry. Everyone has moved on." Taiyang said.
"Are you sure?" Yang asked.
"Of course. You get to choose." Taiyang said.
"Alright, I heard there's a bar nearby." Yang said.
"That's not a choice." Taiyang said.
"Oh come you just said that I can choose." Yang complained.
"Alright, but only one drink." Taiyang said with a faint smile.
Camera switches to inside of a bar
Yang and Taiyang walked into a bar. The tables were glowing a neo white color and the walls were a light blue. There were only a few people in the bar. Yang and Taiyang pulled up some chairs from a nearby table and sat down. A waiter came to them and asked them for what they want.
"What will it be?" The Waiter asked.
"The lightest alcohol you have for me and water for her." Taiyang said.
"Really dad." Yang said in disapproval. She stared at her father until he changed his mind on the drink order.
"Actually just give me water." Taiyang said. Yang had still a look of disapproval.
"I'll be back in a minute." The Bartender said. Taiyang smirk at Yang.
"What, you wanted me to change the order." Taiyang said.
"That's fair." Yang said. Just then a guy and a girl walked up to Yang and Taiyang. They were staring down at Yang in disapproval.
"Is there something wrong?" Taiyang said.
"Get out of here." The guy said.
"What." Yang said confused.
"He said get out." The girl said.
"What did I do?" Yang asked.
"You broke a person's leg unfairly." The Girl said.
"I'm sorry. But can't we move on." Yang said trying to make sure this doesn't end in a fight.
"We're not asking!" The guy said.
"We just want to drink in peace. How about I buy you a drink." Taiyang said. However the guys just grabs Yang by shirt and drags her up, face to face.
"This is going to be the last time we ask." The guy asked. Taiyang stood up and charge at the guy who was holding Yang by the shirt. The girl tries to stop Taiyang, but Taiyang just grabs her and toss her both into the table. The guy let's go of Yang in fear.
"Wait, wait stop!" The Red head guy said fearfully. The girl stood up and were approaching Taiyang. However Taiyang just looks back at them and gives them a look of anger. This makes the girl stop in their tracks. Taiyang puts his attention back on the guy.
"I'm sorry." The guy said fearfully.
"Don't ever touch my daughter." Taiyang said.
"Fine. I'll go." The guy said. He and his buddy ran out of the bar in much haste.
Yang had a few tears come down her face. Taiyang put his two hands on Yang in comfort.
"I knew it, I knew people were angry at me." Yang sombrely.
"Yang, those were just two people." Taiyang said trying to comfort her.
The Waiter came back and didn't notice the damage done to his table. He said. "Alright, here's your water-what happen to my table."
"Not the time." Taiyang said in order to dismiss him.
"You just destroy private property. Pay up!" The Waiter said.
"Now listen-." Taiyang was about to say something.
"What's going on here!" a voice called out. Everyone turned to see who called out. It was Neon Katt and she had with her Flynt Coal. They notice Yang and were wondering how Yang is involved in this.
"Who are you?" The Waiter asked.
"We're huntsmen's." Flynt Coal said.
"This doesn't concern you two." The Waiter said. Flynt then walks over to the waiter and takes out a few hundred dollars from his wallet.
"Here something to pay for the damages. You dig?" Flynt said with a grin. The waiter grabs the money from Flynt's hand.
"I don't want any of you to come back!" The Waiter said. He stomps away.
"Thank you." Taiyang said.
Neon run up and said "No problem. We do anything for a friend." She then skates over to Yang and gave her a big hug.
"It's so great to see you, Yang." Neon said happily.
"It's good to see you too, Neon." Yang said. She smiles at the hug.
Neon stops hugging Yang and notices Yang's new robot arm.
"New arm." Neon said.
"Yeah, it is." Yang said in a sombre tone. Neon realize what she said was kind of insensitive and tried to correct it.
"Sorry. I didn't mean like that." Neon said.
"It's alright." Yang said.
"Let's go home Dad." Yang said. She begins to walk away.
"Wait you're leaving. We just met up." Neon said.
"Listen, I just need to go home." Yang said.
"Actually we have some important information to tell you." Flynt said.
"Whatever it is, don't bother." Yang said.
"It's about Mercury." Neon said. Yang stops in an instance at hearing that name.
"What about him." Yang asked.
"Just take a seat and we'll tell you." Flynt said. He, Neon, and Taiyang sat down at a table. Yang just shrugs and says "Got nothing better to do."
She sits down at the table want to hear what Flynt and Neon had to say.
"What do you have?" Yang asked.
"There was a lot controversy, but when some people at Atlas started to look into Mercury's past. Something was off." Flynt said.
"What did they find?" she asked.
"They found…nothing." Neon said.
"If they found nothing then how did this change anything?" Yang asked annoyed.
"I mean that they didn't find anything about Mercury. No birth certificate, no address, no family, he just appear out of nowhere." Flynt said.
"What! How did no one notice?" Yang asked.
"The official reason was that there was glitch in the system, but we don't believe that." Neon said.
"Anything else." Yang said.
"He's also suspected of murder." The Bartender said.
"Murder!" Yang said shocked.
"He was supposedly the last person to see some book store owner alive, before he was found dead." The Bartender said.
"Congratulations, you broke the leg of a suspected murder and terrorist." Flynt said.
"Terrorist?" Yang said.
"We suspect he might have been involved in the fall of beacon, but that's just a theory." The Bartender said.
"So he isn't a Haven student then." Taiyang said.
"No, he is. It's just that there's nothing about him before Haven." Neon said.
"Have you told anyone?" Yang asked.
"No, the headmaster at Atlas doesn't want this came out. Saying that it will cause undesirable panic." Flynt said.
"That's dumb. Why would Ironwood do this?" Yang asked.
"It's not Ironwood. He resigned." Neon said.
"What! Then who's running Atlas academy?" Yang asked.
"Winter Schee." Flynt said.
"Weiss sister." Yang said surprise.
"Yeah Ironwood gave her the positon. He disappear after that and hasn't been seen since." Neon said.
"Okay new question. Why's Winter doing this." Yang said.
"Rumor has it that she isn't the real Winter Schee." Flynt said.
"That can't be possible." Taiyang said.
"Every time someone is about to release this information to the public, they die." Flynt said.
"Starting to sound more possible." Taiyang said.
"Is there a pattern." Yang asked.
"Just that they were going to release the information. They all died in different ways." Flynt said.
"Can Winter be connected?" Yang asked.
"She has an alibi for all the murders." Flynt said.
"Could she have hire someone." Taiyang said.
"We thought that too. But-." Neon said.
"But what?" Yang asked.
"This can't leave this group, alright." Flynt whisper.
"Okay." Yang said. Taiyang and Yang looked at each other confused.
"We hack into her security system and-." Flynt said.
"You did what! That will get you in trouble." Taiyang said.
"We could be already be putting ourselves into trouble by telling you. Shush and pay attention." Neon said.
"Sorry." Taiyang said.
"We hack into her security system and we begin to look through her all the people she has contacted after she became headmaster of Atlas. All contacts were either friends, family or Atlas military." Flynt said.
"It's a dead end." Yang said.
"Kind of is." Neon said. She and Flynt stood up from their seats and walked to the exit.
"Where you going?" Yang asked.
"Back to the academy. It's pass curfew." Neon said.
"I have one more question. Why did you tell me this and risk your lives." Yang asked. Neon and Flynt turned back.
"You deserve to know." Neon said.
"Maybe we should get together sometime Yang." Flynt winks at her. Yang blushes.
"Yeah sure." Yang said. Taiyang notice this and decide to stop this flirting.
"I think you should leave now." Taiyang said.
"Alright, see you next time." Neon said.
"We should get going now soon." Taiyang said.
"Probably right." Yang said.
"What are you people still here? Get out." The Waiter said.
"Defiantly now." Yang said.
Camera switches to outside the bar
Yang and her father were heading back to Atlas Center because their ride was there. Neon and Flynt were going the opposite way.
"Have a good night." Yang waves to her friends.
"See you beautiful." Flynt said. Yang blushes at the remark.
"I'm still here you know." Taiyang said.
"I can't state the obvious." Flynt said. Yang blushes more.
"Just head back to school." Taiyang said.
"Okay, sorry." Flynt said. He and Neon continue walking down the street
Across the street, on top of one of the building, there was a person looking at Flynt and Neon through binoculars. This person puts binoculars away and began to jump across the rooftops to keep an eye on them. Amour was covering everything part of this person's body. There were few extra layers at the chest area and arms.
"Why were you flirting with Yang?" Neon asked.
"Well I wanted to hang out with her at the festival, but all that bad stuff happen." Flynt counter.
The person from the roof tops took a rifle that was modified. The barrel diameter was much larger than any of barrel. The person loads and fires a small piece clay on the side walk, right in front of Neon and Flynt.
"What's this?" Flynt asked. They look in the direction of where they saw the clay come from and see the person from the roof.
The rooftop person takes out a metal cylinder with a big red button. Neon looks at clay and realizes it an explosive.
"Run!" Neon yelled. She grabs Flynt and tries to escape. However the clay explodes, sending them both into a car window.
They crawl off the car and hit the ground hard. Flynt notice the person from the roof jumped down to road and began walk towards them and holding two revolvers. Flynt and Neon manages to stand up.
"I suggest you don't do that. Your Aura's already took a bad punch." The person was mechanic, but feminine. She pointed her guns at Neon and Flynt.
"Who are you?" Flynt asked.
"Call me…Torva Messor." She said.
"I guess you're the one who's been killing people." Neon said.
"You stand correct. And you two are my target." Torva said.
"You're not getting us." Neon said.
"Of course I will." Torva said.
"Your move." Torva said.
Neon skates towards Torva and by utilizes the ice dust, she seals Trova's hands and feet in a block of solid ice. Her feet were frozen to ground, making her unable to move. Neon skates back to Flynt, with a big smile on her face.
"Not so tough now Torva lame last name." Neon said.
The ice on both her arms and feet began to melt. Neon and Flynt were shock by this ability. They prepared to attack her. Neon took out her nun chucks and charges at Torva, while Flynt takes his trumpet out.
"Now, it's my turn." Torva fires bullets at Neon, but Neon dodges and goes in for a strike. She tries to hit Torva with nun chucks, but Torva moves away from each assault.
"Stay put!" Neon said. Torva takes a battle staff from back and then aim right into Neon chest.
"Maybe you should." Torva said. The staff fires a concentrated energy blast into Neon chest, sending Neon flying and crashing into the road.
Flynt creates two additions copies of himself and attacks Torva with a trumpet soundwave. Torva just plunges her staff into the ground and knee in order to not send herself flying. Neon stands herself up and notices this the perfect opportunity to strike. She skates around Torva, so she won't get be hit by the Flynt's trumpet soundwave attack. Neon utilizing her Ice Dust tries to freeze Torva entirely. However Torva just let's go of the staff and is fling away by the soundwave. Torva lands on her feet and takes out the rifle from earlier. Flynt and Neon run towards Torva, but they were separated, both of them on the other side of the street. Torva switches her aim back and forth from Flynt and Neon.
"You can't hit both of us at the same time." Flynt said.
"No, but I'm that doesn't mean I can't harm you." Torva said. Neon jumps high up into the air and begins to descend towards Torva.
"Here's Neon!" She said. Torva then pulled a small metal disk from her backside. When Neon got close Torva puts the disk on Neon's back and throws her to Flynt. Neon and Flynt were launched into a wall and the disk explodes. The explosive of disk cause a part of the building they crashed into to collapse on top of them. Torva walks towards to rubble and sees Flynt and Neon trying to get out. Their lower body were trapped under the rubble were struggling to get out. Torva knees down to them. She sees some blood on Neon's head and rubes her glove figure against it.
"Your Arau has worn out…" Torva puts two revolvers on top on Neon's and Flynt's forehead. "…You should listen when you had the chance...It would have been easier." She said. She puts her fingers on the trigger and slowly pushed it back. Neon and Flynt close their eyes in terror at their supposedly final fates. Just then Yang launches a punch Torva in face and knocks her out.
"Yang! You saved us!" Neon said.
"Of course I did." Yang said.
Her father comes in and says "Let's get you guys out of this mess." He and Yang began to push the rubble off Neon and Flynt.
"I thought you would have left already." Neon said.
"We saw an explosive, so we decide to come and save you." Yang said.
After enough of the rubble was remove Neon and Flynt stood up. With Yang and Taiyang helping them up.
"Now, who is she?" Neon pointed at Torva Messor. Yang began walk to Torva unconscious body.
"You don't want to do that. She's dangerous." Neon said.
Yang stopped over the body and she began to examine it.
"Yang get back. She could still be awake." Neon said.
Yang after a few moments of thought, decided walked back. Yang, Taiyang, Neon and Flynt gather around to discuss.
"What do we do with her?" Yang asked.
"We give her to the Atlas military." Neon said.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Taiyang said.
"Why? We can't her run around kill more people." Flynt said.
"Atlas isn't secure. There's probably others like her in Atlas and could break her out." Taiyang said.
"You don't know that. She could be acting on her own." Flynt said.
"If she was, what does she get from preventing this information to come out? She must be working for someone." Taiyang said.
"Winter." Yang thought.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she's gone." Neon said. They turned to where Trover was and were shocked at her disappearance.
"Are you kidding me? She was knocked out." Neon said.
Yang then punches the ground in frustration at the Trover escape.
"How could I let this happen?" Yang asked herself.
"We'll head back to academy. Tell them what happen." Neon said.
"Don't do that." Yang said.
"What. But we need to tell them." Flynt said.
"We can't." Yang said.
"Why?" Flynt asked.
"You said there was a rumor about Winter being behind these killings?" Yang said.
"Yes, but we check her messages. She never contacted any known mercenaries." Flynt said.
"Did you think that she could be working with others?" Yang asked.
"Winter probably told another person in the Atlas Military to hire some assassin to kill whoever tries to tell the truth about Mercury." she continue.
"We read her messages. We found nothing." Flynt said.
"She could have deleted them or put them in code." Yang said.
"This starting sound super complicated." Neon puts one of hands on her head.
"She's expecting you to comeback to Atlas Academy. So she can kill you two." Yang said.
"What do we do then?" Neon asked.
"You come to my place and hide there until we figure something out." Yang said.
"We can't just hide while she kills more people. Besides can't we just tell the Media about this" Neon said.
"Let say you do. You have no evidence to prove about Mercury past or Winter's involvement in the killing's." Yang said.
"We do have evidence on Mercury. It's back in our dorm room." Flynt said.
"Which Winter has probably took when you were out." Yang said.
"Our teammates are there. She can't just barge in." Flynt said.
"She can. She's the headmaster. She can do whatever she wants." Yang said.
"Oh no, you're right." Flynt said.
"Come back to my home. It's safer than staying in Atlas." Yang said.
"What if she follows us?" Neon said.
"Winter doesn't know where my house is." Yang said.
"Fine. Besides I do need a vacation from school." Neon said.
"Follow me." Taiyang said.
They began to run back to the Atlas Prostatic center. Where Yang and Taiyang left their car.
Camera switches to alleyway
Torva Messor was walking through this dark alleyway with one of her hands on the stop where Yang punched her.
"That women, who is she? Her name is…Yang. Wait, how do I know that? Who am I?" she asked
That was the final Part of the Yang Interlude. Yeah it's pretty long
What are your thoughts?
The next chapter is going to be focus on Ruby and the Gang.
Have some bad news.
Bad news that in October I'll have to take a test. Which means I have to study for it. This could be awful cause I want to finish this story before the actual RWBY volume 4 comes on. But I think if try hard enough I might be able to get the remaining chapters before that. Fingers crossed.
Have a good day.
