And now onto the chapter!
Blake, Darrel, and Sun sat at a coffee shop. "So let's just cut to the chase, shall we?" Darrel said, getting to the point.
"Sun, are you familiar with the White Fang?" Blake asked.
"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on Remnant who hasn't heard the truth about them. Stupid holier-than-thou, creatures use force to get what they want! Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!" Sun explained.
"Say that to my girlfriend again, you see what happens!" Darrel said, annoyed and slightly angered.
"What's your problem?" Sun stated, irked.
"I was a member of the White Fang." Blake stated nonchalantly.
This made Sun choke on his drink, while Darrel simply shrugged.
"Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!" Sun said, surprised.
"No (BLEEP), Sherlock!" Darrel cursed.
Blake was stunned he cursed, but went on with her past with the White Fang (I didn't write it, since we've all heard it, am I right?)
"So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, instead I dedicated to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain sight, all with the help of a little black bow." Blake explained and then wiggled said bow.
"My turn." Darrel stated. He rolled up his right sleeve, revealing… a patch of green reptilian skin!
Blake felt her jaw drop and her eyes went wide. "How is this possible?" Blake inquired, stroking his skin, and then the scales.
"Simply put a side effect of my various reptilian transformations." Darrel said.
"So, have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asked both of them.
"Only my team, my girl, and you know." Darrel stated. "Only my man knows." Blake stated.
Not far away, RWY and IMD were looking for their friends.
"Blake! Darrel!" Ruby & Yang cried out. IMD did the same.
"Weiss, dear, you could at least help." Isaac asked.
"He's right. You're not helping." Ruby agreed with
"Oh! You know who might be able to help: the Police!" Weiss 'suggested'.
"Weiss, not helping!" Ruby growled.
"It was just an idea!" Weiss retorted.
"Yeah! A bad one!" Matt stated.
"Weiss, I think we should here from their side of the story before we jump to any conclusions." Yang suggested. Team IMD agreed with the blonde's suggestion.
"I think you'll realize that I was right!" Weiss exclaimed.
However, before anyone could move…
"And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today!" A voice 'pointed' out. The 6 turned around, and was greeted by Penny.
"Gah! Penny, where did you come from?!" Ruby blurted out, annoyed.
"Hey guys! I see you have some new friends of yours." Penny stated.
"Matthew." "Isaac." "Dalton." The only three guys greeted her.
"Salutations!" Penny greeted them 'Okay, she is creepy.' The three thought.
"So, what are you up to?" Penny said in her usual monotone voice.
"We're looking for our friends Blake and Darrel." Yang acknowledged.
"Oh! You mean the shape-shifter and the Faunus girl!" Penny bluntly stated, nodding her head.
They're facial expression read 'Wait, what?'
"Wait, how did you know about Darrel?" Matt asked. "I saw him on the news." Penny stated bluntly.
"How did you know about Blake?" Ruby asked. "Uh, the cat ears." Penny said, motioning to her head.
"What cat ears? She wears…a bow." Yang stated then realized the truth.
Everyone was just silent.
"She does like tuna a lot." Ruby whispered.
"So, where are they?" Penny inquired.
"We don't know. They've been missing since last night." Ruby said, dejected.
Penny without saying a thing grasped Ruby's arm and gasped, "That's terrible! Well don't you worry, Ruby my friend! I won't rest till we find them!" Penny stated.
Ruby plastered on a false smile. "That's really nice of you Penny, but we're okay, really! Right guys?" Ruby said and then noticed everyone else was gone, leaving Ruby and Penny.
"Matt, how could you?!" Ruby cried.
After paying for their drinks, Blake, Darrel, and Sun left the coffee shop and were now walking down a street near the docks. "So what's the plan, dear?" Darrel asked.
"I agree." Sun said.
Blake simply sighed. "I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before."
Sun had a thought. "What if they did? What if we could prove they did it, by going to place where they were most likely were to do it, and not find them there?" Sun stated.
"Translation, please?" Darrel said, confused. Blake knew what Sun meant. "The only thing is, I have no idea where that could be."
"Well, were in luck." Darrel said and pulled out his scroll. He opened up the newspaper section. A headline was saying a Schnee Dust Company freighter was arriving tonight.
"Well now, we know where to go." Darrel & Sun bluntly stated. Then they headed for the shipyard.
It was now 8:00 p.m. Meanwhile, Weiss, Isaac, Yang, Matt, and Dalton exited a building after failing to find any information about they're friend's whereabouts.
"Thanks anyways." Yang said. "This is hopeless. You really don't care if we find them or not?" Yang inquired to Weiss.
"Don't be stupid. Of course I do, I'm just afraid what they'll say. Or in Darrel's case, do. The innocent never run guys." Weiss stated.
Nearby, Ruby & Penny continued looking.
"So, Blake & Darrel are your friends?" Penny asked. "Yes, Penny." Ruby said.
"But, you're mad at them?" Penny asked. "No, Penny. I'm not, Weiss is." Ruby stated.
"Is she friends with them?" Penny asked. "Well, that's kind of up in the air right now." Ruby stated.
"But why?" Penny inquired. "Darrel because he almost strangled her. And as for Blake, she maybe who we not thought she was." Ruby stated.
It was now 9:00 p.m. At the shipyard, sitting on the roof of a building, was Blake & Darrel. Darrel was snoozing for some reason, with Blake waking him up.
"Sorry for nodding off! But you try being active for nearly a day without sleep!" Darrel said, annoyed.
"We're trying to have a stakeout here." Blake said, miffed at her boyfriend for napping.
"Did I miss anything?" Sun's voice rang out. They turned their heads to see said Faunus carrying apples.
"Nada." Darrel bluntly stated. Blake's response was similar. "They've off-loaded all the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there."
"Cool. I stole us some food." Sun stated, then handed an apple to them.
"Stolen or not I require…sustenance." Darrel said, hissing. Then he began to eat it, until it was a core; then he tossed it.
"How can you eat at a time like this?" Blake said, annoyed. "I'm hungry! I need food!" Darrel said like a hillbilly.
"Do you always break the law without a second thought?" Blake stated to Sun, bluntly.
"Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" Sun retorted, receiving an angry glare from Blake and a growl from Darrel. "Okay, too soon!" Sun said fearfully.
"You don't say!" Darrel said, stating the obvious.
Suddenly, the sound of a Bullhead engine droned out, dust kicking up as it landed.
Emerging from it, were several White Fang members. "Oh no…" Blake stated, surprised.
"Is that them?" Sun inquired.
"What do you think?" Darrel exclaimed.
"Yes. It's them." Blake stated, her eyes narrowing on the emblem on their jackets.
One member, who appeared to be a higher rank shouted, "Alright, grab the tow cables!"
Blake had a saddened look. "You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun inquired to Blake.
"No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." Blake said, saddened.
Suddenly, a new voice rang out. "Hey! What's the hold up! We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?!" the voice, revealing it to belong to Roman Torchwick said, annoyed at how 'slow' they were moving.
Blake was surprised. "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human." "Uh, did I not tell you about what they did to me? Or why they did it?" Darrel stated, slightly annoyed. "I mean a human like that?" Blake stated.
The two leaped off the edge of the roof, with Blake unsheathing Gambol Shroud.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?!" Sun said, alarmed.
They both fall to the ground in a crouch, then they run behind a set of shipping containers, and see Roman shouting to a White Fang grunt.
"You go first." Darrel said to Blake quietly.
"No you idiot!" Roman shouted. Blake suddenly appears behind him with her blade at his throat. "What- Oh for," Roman said, shocked then rolled his eyes.
"Nobody move!" Blake shouted. The grunts ready their weapons in response.
"Whoa take it easy there, little lady." Roman said, trying to save his skin.
As the grunts move closer, Blake uses her free hand to remove her bow, as her cat ears are now exposed.
"Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?!" Blake interjected.
The White Fang members are unsure of what to do. Roman laughs. "Oh, kid didn't you get the memo?"
"What are you talking about?" Blake demanded, spitting venom. "The White Fang and I are going in one joint business venture together!" the ginger crook stated. "Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation." The kitty Faunus demanded.
Suddenly, the air is filled with more jet turbines, blowing wind wildly around the shipyard.
Roman looks up. "I wouldn't exactly call it a 'little' operation." He stated deviously.
Two more Bullheads hover above the shipyard, and as Blake looks on in terror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, knocking her back.
"Three- horned face." Darrel proclaims.
The sound of Roman's cane is heard by Ruby and Penny, not far away, and they see smoke rising from the shipyard. They quickly run towards the source, and they hear a loud bestial roar. (Think Dinosaur King Chomp.)
Standing protectively over Blake, is Darrel as a Triceratops.
His main color is peach orange, with a pale white underside. A bright orange stripe lines his back and the rim of his frill. The frill's main section is rainbow colored. His horns, beak, rim horns, and toes are dull silver.
He roars loudly, hovering protectively over his girlfriend.
Roman, slightly fazed by this, fire two rounds from his cane, which Darrel surprisingly absorbs with his frill. "Didn't see that coming now did ya?" Darrel taunted in a deep voice. Blake scurries out from under him.
Roman growls in frustration. "All of you deal with the Trike! Cat's mine!" he demanded.
Roman fires a volley of rounds at Blake, which she dodges, and then she runs behind a few shipping containers.
"Mr. Three Horns has got something for you!" Darrel shouted.
Suddenly, Darrel's frill glowed yellow and yellow static electricity gathered around it. His brow horns also started gathering electricity. A huge yellow orb of electricity emerged from between his horns. He reared his head back then fired a beam of electricity from the orb, electrocuting the grunts. Then he went to help Blake.
Blake remerged to see Sun & Darrel being surrounded by more members as they exited the Bullheads.
"You aren't the brightest banana in the bunch are you kid. And you have the dullest horns in the herd, freak." Roman insulted the two.
The members charge at the two. Darrel bashes them with his horns, while Sun throws punches and kicks. Then he pulls out a red and gold collapsible staff, striking them from a distance.
Roman ducks under one as it flies over his head and then fires a round at Sun, but Darrel runs forward and absorbs it.
Unexpectedly, Blake jumps from Darrel's back and leaps into action. "He's mine!"She shouted.
Blake and Roman start striking each other with their weapons, neither landing a decisive blow. That is until Roman gets three hits in, knocking her down.
Enraged, Darrel charges forward like a mad bull, intent on goring him to death. Roman fires a round between his eyes, blinding him and causing him to cry out in pain.
Sun intervenes, his Bo staff now as nun chucks/shotguns and engages Roman in a similar fashion as what Blake did. Sun gets a shot in, leaving him open for Blake to slash at him, knocking him on his back. Roman notices a shipping container, gets up, fires at it, hoping that it crushes them. But Darrel fires an electrical blast, destroying it.
Suddenly, another fighter intervenes. "Hey!" a familiar voice interjected. Ruby appears on the roof of a building, Crescent Rose drawn.
"Well hello, Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?"Roman insulted.
Penny walks in from behind her, and sees Blake, Sun, and Darrel. "Ruby, are these your friends?"Penny asked.
Not wanting her friend to get hurt, Ruby shouts, "Penny, get back!"
This diverts her attention long enough for Roman to fire a round, which Darrel yet again, absorbs.
Penny, enraged that someone tried to hurt her friend, glares at Roman and moves forward.
"Penny, wait! Stop!" Ruby cries out.
"Don't worry, Ruby! I'm combat ready!" Penny says, confident.
Suddenly, the small backpack on her opens up, and a sword attached to strings shoots out behind her. It is soon followed by several more.
Penny leaps from the roof, a few swords striking two White Fang members down. She lands and uses her swords to slice into one guy, and then another. Two more try to attack, but Penny creates a 'shield' of the swords, knocking them back. She launches her swords towards a whole squadron, knocking them flat on their backs.
Three more bullheads arrive and starting laying down gunfire. Unfortunately, Darrel can't absorb the bullets, so Penny yet again, creates the shield, blocking the bullets. Two more swords launch from her backpack, and they implant themselves into the wall of a storage building, and she casts herself to their position, using the string as grappling hooks.
"Hey, you can fire a bolt of electricity, right?" Penny inquires to Darrel, who simply nods. Penny smirks. "So can I."
Seeing what she meant, they both charge up an electrical blast, hers being green. Twin green & yellow beams discharge slicing two of the bullheads in half, the members falling out, and the halves to crash into the harbor. Ruby is in awe of this.
Another Bullhead lowers down, but Penny, launches swords at it, penetrating its hull. She then begins to pull, attempting to pull it down. "Wow! How is she doing that?" Ruby says in awe.
Penny then tugs on the strings, sending it crashing to the ground in a fireball.
Roman, seeing this as a failure, flees. He overlooks the 'carnage'. "These kids just keep getting weirder." Roman and the Bullhead escape. "Oh no, you don't!" Darrel grunted. Darrel fires an electrical blast, this time using up all the added energy he absorbed into it, which unfortunately, misses, and Roman escapes to who knows where.
Darrel changes back, and runs back to Blake, holding the ribbon to her bow. "You dropped this." Darrel said, handing her the bow.
"Thank you." Blake thanked him, put her bow back on, and then they shared a kiss.
15 minutes later, police show up. Ruby, Blake, Darrel, & Sun, are currently sitting on a few crates. Ruby called everyone earlier about what happened. Darrel leans back, hand behind his head, onto Blake's lap. "Well…that was…fun. Exhausting, but fun." He states nonchalantly. Blake flicked him on the forehead. "You act like a fool at times, but you're MY fool." Blake states, and kisses him on the cheek.
She pulls out one of his Aura Enhancers from a slot in his shirt pocket, and jabs into his arm, his Aura slowly coming back to him.
Weiss, Yang, and IMD show up.
"Look Weiss, it's not what you think. You see Blake doesn't actually wear a bow, she has kitty ears, and they're actually kind of cute. And as for Darrel, he left to stay close to her." Ruby says in one breath.
Weiss walks up to Blake & Darrel. "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when-"Blake explains.
"Stop." Weiss stated. "Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for the two of you?"
"Twelve bleming hours, man." Isaac states.
"Right. That means I've had 12 hours to think about this. And in those 12 hours, I've decided…I don't care." Weiss stated.
"You don't care?" Blake & Darrel stated, slightly stunned.
"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss inquired. "No, I haven't been since I was younger-"Blake get out before Weiss stops her.
"I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is, that the next time something this big comes up… you'll go to your team, your friends, and your boyfriend, and not some… some guy you meet on the street."Weiss states, looking at Sun at the end. Blake sheds a tear. "Of course."
Weiss turns to Darrel. "As for you, regarding your behavior yesterday, and the new information that has been collected over today and yesterday, I get that you were just defending Blake, so… I forgive you." Weiss states to him. "Thank you, Weiss." He says."
"Alright! Teams RWBY & DIMD are back together!" Ruby screams, waving her arms.
"I'm still not quite sure about how I feel towards you." Weiss states to Sun, who chuckles nervously. "As long as he doesn't flirt with my girl, he's fine with me." Darrel stated.
"Where's Penny?" Ruby said, noticing that she was gone. Everyone that was present when she was around gave a 'beats me' shrug. Then all 8 left for Beacon.
At undisclosed location, Roman walks in to a warehouse, cursing under his breath.
"How very disappointing, Roman." Cinder's voice rang out.
"Cinder! I wasn't expecting to see you here." Roman said, surprised. "Do you know what I came across earlier tonight: a Triceratops! That's right, the experiment that the stupid mutts from the White Fang cooked up!" Roman shouted.
"So, my dear Darrel shows up again? After our giant robot put him in the ICU?" a hissing voice rang out behind the criminal.
Roman looks up, to see a Deinonychus on a catwalk, which promptly jumps downwards in front of Roman.
"You must be Cinder's sister. I've been wondering when you would show up." Roman acknowledged her. "So how do we deal with him?" Roman inquired about Darrel.
Just then, Mercury & Emerald appeared behind the two Fall sisters.
As Cinder's hands emit a fireball and her eyes glow orange, while Amy's glow red, they say,
"Leave him to us."
Well, this was an interesting chapter!
