Chapter Cover: Yang in a stance as fire danced around her form.
Chapter Fourteen
The White Fang
The large Axe aimed straight down toward Weiss's form, but was stopped in its way down the white haired girl's neck when it made contact with a pair of golden gauntlets. The man blinked in surprise as he stared down toward the person that had appeared in the way of his attack down toward the Schnee girl. The first thing he could see was blond hair which glowed with power and the two lilac eyes which stared into his own and they were burning with anger.
The girl's Aura was quite impressive from what he could sense of her. He hadn't expected someone else to interfere with him because as far as the Intel go, the Schnee girl was the only Huntress in Vale as far as they know.
Then who was that girl?
Before he could even get his thoughts together, the blonde haired girl's fist started to glow with Aura drawing his attention down toward the weapon and then he was completely overcame by a wave of Aura that pushed him away from the girl in a massive explosion of power that managed to push him back by the attack, thought it didn't hurt as much as he would have expected it to. The girl must not have released her Weapon true form then.
It was a rookie mistake, and one he was going to fully take advantage of.
Yang stared at the area where she had sent the man flying away from her. She had never expected to actually see someone trying to kill Weiss. The blonde may not really like the white haired girl's attitude, but to try to kill her was taking things way too far. She was only glad that she managed to get here and time to stop it from happening.
When the young man had told her she need to get to Weiss immediately, she hadn't even said a word for she had already headed that way. She could recognize Weiss's Aura quite well and it was a cool like feeling like a fresh breeze in a hot day and Yang had been surprised at how weak it felt. The blonde couldn't understand how this could be possible considering the large amount of power she knew Weiss has and that had only pressed her to get quicker.
She had been the first one to arrive on the field and had seen the large figure standing above the white haired girl's form and Yang had stepped in, to stop him. The blonde glanced down toward Weiss form on the ground and she could feel her stomach churn lightly at the sight of blood that was on the ground and upon the white haired girl's face. Weiss had always been pale skinned but seeing how she looked right now, Yang felt a fear within herself.
"Yang," the young man spoke out, "Is Weiss alright?"
The girl kneeled beside the white haired girl.
"S…She…bleeding badly," Yang said staring at the girl's feature.
Weiss's eyes moved and the blue eyes stared at her. She can see the recognition within their depths as the eyes met her own before the girl's eyes simply closed themselves. Yang instantly kneeled beside the fallen girl.
"Weiss, can you hear me?" she called, "Weiss."
But the girl was unresponsive and a smoke started to leak from the girl's body as the black robes she was wearing before dissipated, leaving Weiss wearing some light clothing probably sleep clothes. She had feared that the girl had died but, she could still feel her Aura despite how weak it was.
Just what exactly have you been doing these past six days Weiss? She thought, worrying over the other girl.
"Yang, you need to bring Weiss back to the Manor immediately," the young man told her, "I already alerted Sebastian about the situation."
"I hope you didn't expect that last attack of yours to actually take me down," a male voice spoke out.
Yang turned toward where the voice was finding the man she had pushed away from Weiss. She can feel her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of him standing there, completely unharmed despite the large amount of power she had released in that last attack. She had used that blast to take down a large number of Grimm at once and yet it didn't anything against that guy.
The man placed his large axe upon his shoulder as a feral grin grew from his lips.
"As a Huntress you should know very well that level of power that you used right now is not enough to take me down," he said.
He took that attack and walked it off like it was nothing, she thought.
Yang got back to her feet and took her stance.
If I move Weiss, he'll gave chase, she thought, and I can't fight back when my hands are busy…
"I don't know from what Clan you are from," the man continued as he walked forward, "But if you are protecting that Schnee girl, then you are my enemy."
He charged straight toward her and Yang tightened her fist, getting ready to unleash another wave of Aura at him but then rose petals danced around her announcing the arrival of her sister and a loud clang echoed as the Axe made contact with Ruby's Scythe. The large man stepped back at the next unexpected attack that had come from seemingly out of nowhere. The smaller girl spun the large weapon as she launched her attacks straight at him forcing the man on defense and he was keeping up with her quite easily before retaliating with one of his own attack, unleashing a wave of Aura.
That managed to throw Ruby backward through the air but, the dark haired girl managed to get herself back upright and landed down right beside her.
"You're okay?" Yang asked.
"Yeah," the girl said, "He is strong."
The blonde nodded, turning toward the enemy that was approaching them.
"Listen you have to take Weiss and get out of here," she said, "Get her back to her place."
Ruby's eyes were drawn toward the girl that was lying on the ground behind them, dark red blood upon her clothes and the ground around her. The small girl was instantly at her side.
"But what bout you?" Ruby said, turning her gaze at her.
Yang smirked.
"I'll be holding against this guy," she said, "to give you enough time to get away…and with how fast you are, I'm sure that you'll get there quicker."
Ruby stared down at her before turning toward the fallen Weiss. There was a lot of blood and Ruby can feel her worry for Weiss growing as she stared at the girl on the ground and she picked her up gently so that she doesn't worsen the wound.
"Like I will let you get away," the large man yelled as he charged forward.
Before he could reach them, Yang was there baring his way as she launched a fist forward at him, unleashing a large amount of Aura at the man, overcoming his body entirely.
"Get out of here Ruby now," Yang yelled at her, "I'll handle him."
The girl glanced at her before disappearing in a burst speed, leaving behind a few red petals which danced in the wind. Yang turned to face her enemy as she took her stance noticing that her attack was completely blocked by the man's large Axe as he had placed it in front of him.
"I thought I told you that level of power isn't going to be enough," he said.
Yang narrowed her eyes at the man.
"And you managed to make me lost sight of my target," he said.
He attacked again, faster than before, and Yang raised her Gauntlet to block the large axe that came down straight toward her and in front of her eyes, she noticed a crack appearing upon her Weapon at where the axe had made contact and with how much power that was behind that strike, the blonde slipped backward, letting the axe fall down unto the ground causing a large crater to take place in front of her.
Then the man continued his attack as he switched his weapon into his other hand. With that, he launched forward, dragging the axe from behind, and pulled it up and Yang had block again at the attack that came at her and she was pushed backward with the strike causing her to crash into a tree not too far away from where she was.
The blonde girl coughed and turned her gaze toward the enemy who had disappeared from where he had.
"Howling Fang," the man said.
Yang glanced upward toward the man, noticing him in the air above her. His weapon was shining a bright purple color and the amount of Aura that he was gathering was quite powerful too. Her eyes widened as the man launched his axe down toward her and the entire world around Yang exploded completely as the girl formed an X in front of her face as pain surged through her body but the blonde stood fast.
When the attack was done, the man in landed down in front of her, placing his axe upon the ground beside him. Yang could feel pain surging her body as she stared at him. Her clothes was damaged during that last attack and her body was now sporting some bruises upon her body and she glared up toward him.
"You managed to reduce the damage by using your Aura as a shield," he said staring at her, "I'm surprised you haven't released your Soul Weapon noticing the difference in our level of power."
Yang stared at him, confused at what he was saying. Releasing her Soul Weapon?
"I've heard that you Grimm Slayers and some really powerful Release," he continued.
Yang stared at him, confused.
"What in Remnant are you talking about?" she asked.
The man stared at her for a few moments before laughing out loud.
"Oh, you don't even know your Weapon's Release," he said, "Does that mean that you don't even know your weapon's name?"
She stared down at her Gauntlets for a few moments before looking up toward the man.
"It's…name?" she repeated, "The Soul Weapons have name?"
The man seems to be pissed off.
"This is unforgivable," he growled, "When I saw you Grimm Slayers, I had expected an actual battle against someone powerful and yet, you don't even know your weapon's name. You aren't Grimm Slayers, you're just amateurs throwing about your weapons."
His Aura shoots through the roof.
"I'm going to make short work of you," he said.
He charged at her, his weapon rising into the air and Yang barely had time to avoid the attack and she can feel pain surging through her body as she did so. Despite what she had done to protect herself from that attack, she was still very much hurt from that battle. The girl tightened her hand into fist as she launched a blast of Aura straight toward the man but with a slash of his large axe he managed to cut through it like it was butter.
What? She thought, shocked at what she had seen.
"Since you don't have your release," the man said, "You don't stand a chance against me, Amateur."
He attacked her with his weapon and Yang blocked it again, but it hardly did anything as blood flew out of a wound that appeared on Yang's shoulder as the weapon simply slashed past her weak defense as her Gauntlet cracked even more. The blonde girl was send crashing down into the ground in a large crater.
"Now die," the man said, coming down at her with his large axe raised above his head.
The weapon came down at her face…
"Dust Level 4, Repulse,"
A blue glow appeared around Yang as the weapon hit her but it didn't hurt the blonde at all as a shockwave pushed the large man away from her as he slid away on the ground, a frown appearing upon his face. Yang was also surprised at the new happening but then a figure landed right beside her. It was the young man and he was holding on his sword and his other hand was holding his hat down upon his head.
"Now who the hell are you?" the large man with the axe said.
"I can't have you killing her now," the young man spoke out standing back up, "Not when she has so much untapped potential."
"Hey…Is Ruby and Weiss…?"
"Ruby got her back to Sebastian," the young man answered her giving the girl a backward glance, "I had decided to come and help you…and from the look of how things are here, it seems that I made the right decision here."
He then turned to face the large man in front of him.
"A released Soul Weapon I see," he continued, "That's something I didn't expect out of the White Fang."
Yang could feel her confusion rising at the name.
The what?
That seems to mean something to the large man for he reacted at the name.
"How do you know about that?"
"I know that you're a Faunus," the young man said, "Humans and Faunus have different feels in their Aura and I have spend enough times around both species to be able to tell the difference quite easily. You focused upon Weiss Schnee, and wanted to kill her. That alone tells me that you are part of that Organization."
"You're quite knowledgeable for a Schnee dog," the man answered.
The young man actually chuckled at that, disregarding entirely the conceding tone in the man's voice.
"I'm quite curious as to why you're using the power of a Huntsman rather than the power of the Faunus," the young man said with a frown, "I know for a fact that the Faunus has their own abilities…"
The axe was launched at him in a burst of speed and the young man pared the attack with his sword quite easily causing a large amount of wind to dance around the dueling duo. He still had his hand holding down his hat upon his head at the large wind, and he stared up toward the large man.
"If you people keep getting in my way, I will slaughter all of you," he yelled.
"You have a strong Aura," he said, calmly, "and the matter that you managed to learn the name of your Soul Weapon is impressive but there is something you must know about Human and Faunus."
The young man actually pushed him off with a grunt as the large man was pushed back. The young man with the hat placed his sword forward.
"The reason why Faunus has different Releases then Humans," he said, "is because their Aura leans toward more of their animalistic form, so that their Aura could flow more freely. You, on the other hand, you did the exact opposite. You tried to learn how to use your Aura like the Humans does and ignore your Faunus side that means, all that power that you possess now…is nothing but hot air."
The man with the large axe let out a growl of anger before he launched straight toward him.
"Screw you SCHNEE DOG," he yelled.
Blood flew from the many wounds that appeared body causing the man large man to widen his eyes in shock at what was happening to him. His large Axe had been sliced into two pieces right in front of him. Yang could feel her eyes widening in shock at what just happened.
She didn't even see the young man move at that last attack he had done against the large man. She was shocked at how easily he defeated the large man that had attacked them. She stared at the figure with the hat, her mind just trying to figure out who exactly was this guy?
"J…Just who…the hell…are you?" the large man said.
The young man with the hat approached his fallen form and placed his sword at the man's neck.
"You said it yourself," he answered, his voice taking a dark tone, "I'm a Schnee dog."
For a moment there, Yang thought that he was going to slice the man's head off but then the sword disappeared from his hand causing surprise to shoot through her. The young man lowered his hand.
"Now scram back to your master with your tail between your legs," he ordered.
The large man didn't need to be told twice. He took hold of his broken weapon before disappearing from sight leaving the two behind. Yang had pulled herself upon her feet as she approached him.
"Was it okay…to let him go?"
The young man turned toward her.
"It wouldn't matter whether I killed him or not," he said, "He is just a hired hand that shared in the hate that they have. I doubt he was even a member since he didn't have the symbol."
Yang stared at him for a long moment, holding on her bleeding shoulder.
"Just what exactly is going on? Why were those people after Weiss?" she asked.
The young man approached her.
"It's best if we talk back at the Manor," he said, "Don't move. Dust Level 20, Displacement."
The black circle appeared beneath them and they were instantly engulfed within it and then they were gone.
Vale
Undisclosed Location
The large man had appeared in front of the cellar before opening in front of him. He entered the place, still holding upon his wounds. He couldn't believe that man had been able to take him down so easily. It was something that he was completely infuriating. He had gained this power because he wanted to kill a Schnee and now…that damn man interfered.
"You're back already," a voice spoke out, "Someone really put you through the wringer."
He looked up toward the person across him and felt his eyes widen lightly. It was a young woman, with long dark hair falling upon her back and the two golden eyes stared at him. He knew who she was and he bowed his head down toward her.
"Is Schnee dead?" she asked.
"No," the man said, "Someone interfered before I could finish the Job. Schnee had gathered some Huntresses with her and they managed to take the girl away from me."
The golden eyed young woman nodded.
"I see," she murmured.
"The Huntresses were nothing against me," he said, "The one I faced didn't even know her Soul Weapon's name so it was quite easy to take her down but that man appeared and saved her. He knew that I was a Faunus and he also knew that I was part of the White Fang."
The woman looked at him interested.
"He was a Faunus?" she asked.
The man nodded, "Yes, his Aura felt a lot like ours…but what I couldn't understand is why he was fighting for Schnee instead of us."
The young woman frowned a little as she thought about it. It was rather strange that a Schnee will allow herself to work with a Faunus of all. Then again, from her observation the Schnee girl was unusual as well, as she remembered the black robes the girl wore….
She couldn't understand as to why the girl was wearing those clothes…
"Blake,"
The girl turned her attention toward the new arrival. Her golden eyes showed her curiosity within the depths of those eyes.
"What is it?"
"Adam wants to see you," the man said, "He said it's important."
Schnee Manor
Weiss was lying upon a bed breathing deeply. The bloodied clothing that she had been wearing before had been removed and they were all taken care of with the bandages around her body. The bandages were placed around the top of her body and there was even some spot of blood that was wetting the bandages that the girl was wearing.
"I have done what I can for the wound," Sebastian said, giving the young man beside him a glance, "But with how low her Aura is, it will take longer to actually heal her."
The young man stared at the white haired girl's face silently. It was pale, compared to how the girl's face usually was whenever he saw her.
"At least she still alive," he said, "That stubborn girl is just going to get herself killed if she continue on like this."
"It's the White Fang then," Sebastian said, his voice taking a dark tone.
The young man glanced at him.
"A Grimm wouldn't have been able to do this kind of damage to her," the butler told him.
"It is," the young man said, "I never expected them to actually find out where she is."
He turned away from Sebastian, and out of the infirmary room. Yang and Ruby were there both of them dressed in their ordinary clothes. Yang had her wounds looked at the moment she had arrived back here and the girl looked at his approach, a frown upon her features. Her sister, Ruby, stood up as soon as he had walked out of the room.
"How is she?" she asked instantly, "Is she going to make it? Has she awaken yet? Why did…?"
"Ruby, slow down," Yang told her, "Give him at least a moment to at least answer you and please, breathe."
The young man placed a hand upon his hat, pulling the object up, revealing his eyes in the shadow of his hat.
"To begin with," he stared, "Weiss is fine. Her wound isn't as bad it looked. She is stable for now and no Ruby, she isn't awake yet. The girl had exhausted a major part of her Aura and it will take her a while to actually heal…"
"Then what is the White Fang?" Yang asked, cutting in, "Why did they attack Weiss? And what exactly is a Faunus?"
"Look," the young man said, "I will explain it all to you so you don't need to worry about anything, but there is one thing that you need to be aware of. The White Fang only have one goal for it's existence and that's to kill every living member of the Schnee Family."
Both Ruby and Yang's eyes went wide with surprise at the revelation.
What?
The horrible goal of the White Fang is revealed...
