I'm back! I don't have much to say except that what Yang says to Blake is completely different to what she says in the show. Also, locke62, thanks for the idea, but I did change it up a bit, if that's okay with you.
And for those who did guess, some are right, some are wrong, and some; well said creature that you guessed may appear in another story I have planned.
Without further ado, let's get started!
4 days later, the gang was still unable to get Blake to go to prom. Currently, Ruby, was moping about when Weiss slammed her palms on the table the red huntress sat.
"I need you to pick a tablecloth."The heiress asked. She displayed two types of tablecloths, both of which were of similar color. "Aren't they the same?"Ruby asked, confused.
Weiss sighs in frustration. "I don't even know why I asked."
Meanwhile, Yang and Dalton were setting up sound speakers. Yang then walks up to her sister. "So have you picked a dress out yet?"She asked.
"I did, but what's the point if Blake isn't going?"Ruby said glumly.
"Oh don't worry, she's going."Yang smirked. She then shouts to Weiss, "Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!" "If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!"Weiss retorted.
Just then, the doors opened up, revealing the rest of Team DIMD, including Darrel.
"Prom is going to have fog machines? Two words: LA-ME!"Isaac stated, defending his girl. "Thank you for supporting my opinion."Weiss stated, as she zoomed to his side and gave him a kiss.
"And look who decided to get out of bed!" The two blonds state, referring to Darrel.
"Oh hahaha! FYI, I didn't lie in bed nearly all week! What am I, a couch potato?!"Darrel retorted.
"So, you ladies all excited for dress-up?"Matthew stated. "Very funny, dear!"Ruby said, laughing at what her boyfriend stated.
"Laugh all you want; I'll be turning heads tomorrow night!"Yang smirked with pride. "Hey, the only head your allowed to turn is mine, babe."Dalton stated, kissing his girlfriend, making her blush.
"What are all you guys wearing?"Weiss asked.
"Two words: Black-tie."Darrel stated, as did the rest of his team.
"How are you going to go without Blake?"Ruby asked with worry for her best friend.
"Oh don't worry; I've got a plan."Darrel said with pride. "And so do I."Yang stated. And with that, the two left the ballroom.
(SCENE CHANGE!)
Meanwhile, the previously mentioned Faunus is sitting at one of the library tables with a holographic screen in front of her, still trying to get any info on the terrorist organization she was once aligned with.
Suddenly, a small bright red light appears on her screen. Moving up and down, her eyes follow it down to her hand, and then it disappears entirely.
She looks behind herself, obviously irritated, but no one walking amongst the masses is the culprit.
She turns back to the computer, and she starts typing on the keyboard before the laser dot appears on her hand briefly, prompting her to look around again and still find no one. The red dot points up again on the screen moving around in circles until she scowls and pounds her fists on the table fed up with this.
She stands up from her chair and finds the light on the floor, following it blindly through shelves of books until both the dot and its purser turn the corner, only for Blake to bump into none other than Yang.
"Hellooooo!"The blonde greets her in a sing-songy voice. "What are you…"Blake questioned, surprised.
Yang grabs her arm. "We need to talk." And with that, they whisked away.
(SCENE CHANGE!)
Blake and Yang were now in an empty classroom. "Yang, if you're going to tell me to stop, you're may as well just save your breath."Blake stated, as she paced back and forth.
Yang, who was sitting cross-legged on the center desk stated, "I don't want you to stop; I want you to slow down."Yang said with concern. "I don't have the luxury to slow down."Blake said, irritated. "It's not a luxury; it's a necessity."Yang said reassuringly. "The necessity is stopping Torchwick."Blake argued.
"And we're going to."Yang stated. She then pats the part of the desk across from her. "But first you have to sit down and listen to what I have to say." Blake sighed. "Fine." And she sits down.
"I was going to tell you about my past, but instead, I'll tell you about Darrel's." Blake's attention was already grabbed. Yang took a deep breath.
"You see, not long after he escaped to Vale, he then started training with all of his forms at Gorgon Hill. He practically lived there, living off the land, feeding on whatever he could find; and he was only 10 to 12 years old."Yang explained somberly.
"After he did this, he then started searching nearly the entire kingdom for any White Fang activity, trying to get any idea on their next move. It's quite a shocker that he didn't come across you."Yang explained and then joked, which made Blake snicker.
"I had already made friends with him, after 2 weeks of school starting, and he was rather friendly."She said with slight happiness, but her tone saddened. "Unfortunately, he continued his search until the 3rd month of our junior year. He was about to immediately leave after school was dismissed for fall break, but…"She said, dragging her sentence on.
"But what?"Blake asked, curious.
"I was able to get him to stop completely. He started enjoying life. Hell, I even asked him out!"She joked. Blake glared at her. "Don't worry, it was only one date, and he decided that we stay friends."
Yang then gripped Blake's hand. "Blake, the reason he fell in love with you was because he could sense your pain and sadness from being discriminated, and he felt the same way because he other people ridiculed him for protecting Faunus, and although he didn't show it, it hurt him deep inside. But, when he met you, he felt a heck of lot happier in his life."Yang stated with sadness. 'And now for the coup de grace.' Yang thought.
"Okay Darrel, time for the icing on the cake!"Yang called out, and Blake looked around to find him.
Suddenly, he as a black-feathered, red-scaled, and icy blue-eyed, Microraptor materialized from in the back. "About time I could add my two cents in!"He said in a high-pitched, throaty voice. He then spread his short wings and then glided downwards; of course, he did have to stop once or twice. He eventually landed in front of the desk and then changed back.
He walked up to Blake. "Blake, you are special to the people around, and you would be breaking my heart if you got too caught up in this investigation."He said with sorrow.
He then got down on his knees and he held his hands in a pleading manner and tears started to well up in his eyes. "I care for you more than anyone else, so can't you trust me when I say I'm with you all the way?!"He begged. "Please Blake; you are my one true love."He added, holding his arms out.
Blake had broken down in tears. "Oh, Darrel…." Was all she could say before she tackled him to the ground and started laying kiss after kiss on his face. "Darrel, I'm sorry for acting like such an idiot! Our love means so much more than this investigation, and I let it cloud up my head, and I'm sorry!" She started sobbing into his shoulder, and he simply wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.
"I'm going to let you two reconnect, okay?"Yang stated, and then she left.
(SCENE CHANGE! And what you just read give you the feels?!)
Saturday, day of Prom. Yang, decked out in a white dress that did show off her cleavage, stood as a receptionist. Dalton did wear black tie attire and he stood nearby. Weiss wore a similar dress to what she wore to homecoming, and Isaac did wear black tie attire; both were discussing something, most likely plans in the future.
The doors opened up, and there stood Ruby and Matthew. Ruby wore a simple red dress that was similar to previous ones, but this one had mesh netting and it hugged her figure more, and she wore red tinted-high heels. Matt wore black tie attire.
"Oh, you look beautiful!" Yang said, ecstatic.
"Ah, can we have a talk about how Weiss fights in these?"Ruby said sheepishly, motioning to her heels. She was having a little difficulty walking but Matt was did hold her up. Yang giggled at how her sister tried to walk.
Meanwhile outside, Darrel was walking to the ballroom in black tie attire, struggling with his tie. "Dirty stinking necktrap!"Darrel grunted.
"I'll say it once, and I'll say it again; you look good in a suit."Blake stated from behind him. She wore a similar dress to her one back during homecoming, but this one hugged her figure more. She also wore more eye shadow, clear lip gloss, and light blush. She also wore a teal bow.
"Wow, you look beautiful. Shall we?"Darrel said. "We shall."
Inside, the girls danced with their respective boyfriends in the Waltz. "I'm so glad I took that dance class."Darrel stated. "You took a dance glass?"Blake giggled.
"It was my cousin Alexa's idea!" "Whatever; at least it paid off."Blake rested her head in the crook of his shoulder and he held her close to him.
That is when he noticed that the music they were playing was a slow version of Mos Eisley Cantina. 'Looks like Yang took my advice.' Earlier, when they played the normal paced version of this, the guys dipped their girlfriends and kissed them; because that's something every guy wants to do with their girl, right?
Just then, the door opened up, and lo and behold were Mercury in a suit, Emerald in a green dress, and Amy in a bright orange dress.
But, where's Cinder?
So, now we now Darrel's full story! And also, in the next chapter, Ruby will have a little help with Cinder, and here is the riddle for what animal the next form is: I live on two continents, I'm really known, and I only died out 10,000 years ago; what am I?
Microraptor- tiny thief
Nearly 3 feet long, barely over 2 pounds
Usage: Scout
Melee attacks: N/A
Abilities: Camouflage- same way that the Coelophysis has it. A DNA-enhanced version can fire it feathers off, which grow back. These feathers either explode on contact, skewer their opponent, and can be infused with Dust, mainly fire, ice, and electric Dust.
Until then, R&R my friends!
