Chapter 3
Previously: Weiss and Blake had to go Vale to confront Torchwick, who plans to steal dust and weapons from a Schnee Company warehouse, and they need to bring him to justice. As for Ruby and Yang, they are not too happy about their teammates running off without telling them in person, or letting them know what danger they are getting into.
It was morning and Weiss had woken up. When she woke up, she saw Blake fully dressed up, reading a book, and drinking tea. Blake was usually the first one up early out of the others, being a faunus and all, while Weiss usually slept in, unless there was an emergency such as being late for class. Blake notice Weiss got up out of bed.
"Good morning." Blake said.
"Good morning." Weiss said after yawning. She began to get ready for the day by fixing her hair into her usual side ponytail with her crown-like hair clip. After getting dressed, she joined Blake for tea. "So Blake, how did you sleep?"
"I slept good. Reading always helps me. Although I tend to wake up early because of my internal alarm clock. Most faunus have that problem."
"Really? I always thought you were just a morning person."
"Not by choice unfortunately. Have you ever woke up early?"
"I have, but it was because one of my butlers woke me up every morning, and I always woke up when they did so. Now with no one to physically wake me up, I mostly sleep in."
"You ever used an alarm clock?"
"I have, but I'm used to being physically woken up. The sound of an alarm does not seem to work on me."
"You must really be well rested then?"
"In a way, yes." Weiss and Blake continued to talk about stuff for a few more minutes, until there was a moment of silence. Blake broke the silence.
"So, what's the plan?"
"Well, Torchwick won't be striking until tonight, so what I have been thinking is that we get to the warehouse later and go on from there."
"That sounds good. So then, should we talk about that other thing from last night." Blake said blushing.
"What do you mean?"
"You know... From dinner."
"Oh... OH!" Weiss shrieked, blushing, realizing what Blake meant. She remembered her and Blake talk about their love interests and Weiss had admitted she loves Ruby and Blake said she loves Yang. They both are in love with their teammates but they don't know how to go about it yet. "You really want to talk about it?"
"YES!" Blake said being lively and cheerful.
"Ok. Uhhh... we could try setting one another up."
"What do mean?"
"What I mean is we try talking to the two individually. I talk to Yang, and you talk to Ruby."
"Oh I see, try to make one and the other be aware of our feelings and convince them to love us."
"Exactly. You talk to Ruby to see if see if she loves me too, and I will talk to Yang and make sure she loves you. I pretty sure she'll listen to me."
"But you told me if I told anyone, you would kill me."
Weiss felt idiotic about actually telling Blake she would literally kill her if she did tell anyone she loves Ruby.
"Ok, if it doesn't work out that is." she said, surprising Blake in a bad way.
"But that's not fair. You can't really..." Blake did not want to finish her statement because she did not want to doubt that Ruby would love Weiss back.
"If you do tell her and she won't love me, do know how embarrassed I will be? Everyone at Beacon won't look at me the same way."
"And what if you do end up with Ruby? What will people think of that?"
"They will be like 'Oh my God. Weiss and Ruby are a couple. The Schnee Heiress and Beacon's youngest team leader are in love. They are so CUTE!'"
Blake looks at Weiss with a "really?" look because of Weiss going into her own fantasy world, thinking that's exactly how it would go. Just like she thought her and Pyrrah would be in the same team and rule the school with an iron fist, but instead, Pyrrah joined team JNPR with Ren, Nora and her love interest, Juane. While Weiss wounded in up in team RWBY and now here they are.
"Will that even happen?"
"The same can happen to you and Yang you know."
Blake almost had a fangirl-like reaction, but tried to hold back. "OK! I will do my best. I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry, I have my ways. And Yang is Yang after all."
They both continued to have a simple conversation. Meanwhile, at Beacon, Ruby and Yang began to get on the next train to Vale.
"I can't believe we have to go to Vale just to get Weiss and Blake. As team leader, I am so going to punish them, and I don't care if Weiss tries to turn it around on me. They are not going to be too happy." Ruby said enraged on how Weiss and Blake just left with out consulting the two of them first.
"Look, I'm mad at them too, but at least try to calm down." Yang said as they got on the train.
"I'm trying, but do you know how much these tickets cost?" Ruby said crying because only she paid for them.
"I know. I will pay you back later. I just don't have any extra cash on me. Anyway, let's go and help them fight Torchwick."
"Wait, what! I thought we were just going to go get them."
"No, I said we should go get to them so we can help them. Besides, Blake couldn't handle him herself, so I want a piece of him."
"But can we really handle it?"
"We should and we can. Aren't you suppose to be team leader?"
"Not when the rest of the team is not here!"
"Dawww! I'm here sis!" Yang said hugging Ruby, who pointed out she was not helping.
Back in Vale, Blake and Weiss were on their way to the Schnee warehouse, where Torchwick is suppose to arrive at. Weiss manages to get authorization to enter the guard post and speak to their manager.
"It is an honor to have you Miss Schnee, but why must you be here at a time like this." Said the manager.
"I have my reasons. Also it is part of my training as part of being a huntress." Weiss said.
"Ok, now what about your friend here?"
"She's here as my bodyguard and I trust her with my life." Blake was surprised by those words.
"Well ok then. There will only be a few guards patrolling off and on and I hope this won't be too much of a bother to you."
"Not at all. I have learned to take care of myself."
The manager had left and Weiss started to observe the area from the guard tower.
"Weiss?"
"Hm?"
"Did you really mean what you said back there?"
"Well yes. Except the part about you being my actual bodyguard of course." Weiss smiled as she meant every word about trusting Blake.
"I trust you too Weiss." Blake said making Weiss blush.
"Ok, so over there on the west side is where our shipment of dust arrived early this morning. And other there on the east is where we are keeping the weapons."
"Please tell me most of them are defective."
"My family always wants things to be perfect. There wouldn't even be blanks in those magazine cartridges."
"So how long until the place gets slightly fortified?"
"Another hour. Then, we wait."
They both stayed in the guard tower keeping an eye on the guards and employees. An hour has passed and all of the workers clocked out. The only ones in the warehouse was a set of guards and just the two of them. They lay in wait for another hour and nothing kept her eyes open, monitoring the area, while Blake took a break and was hoping Weiss would too. Blake could tell Weiss was feeling exhausted by just looking out from the tower for almost two hours straight. Another 30 minutes have passed and still no sign of Torchwick or the White Fang.
"Well, what now?" Blake said reading one of her books, starting to feel like there is no point about the situation.
"Nothing yet."
"What if he won't show up?"
"But he has to. He just got to."
Blake could see that Weiss was very desperate and did not want to see her this way.
"Weiss listen. I know you must feel left out since your own family might not really notice your actions, but showing up to the warehouse with such determination should be enough. Not only that but I have learned more about you since we've been here. You know how to be a good huntress, you can rule with an iron fist to avoid the media, and you are in love with our team leader, a girl, and you are not afraid of people actually judging you for it. You practically have improved with this self-determination. And you got me to be your friend too. Don't you think this is enough to prove that you can do anything?" Weiss started to admit this and grew silent for a moment.
"Blake, you are my friend. And I just want to protect my family's company. I don't want my family to think that all can do is just train as a huntress."
"But you don't need to prove anything Weiss. You already are great just the way you are." There was a moment of silence.
"I guess your right. Let's just go home." They began to get ready to leave. "I bet Ruby and Yang won't like the details of how this only turned into a trip without inviting them huh?" Weiss chuckled making Blake giggled.
Suddenly, they heard something. The sound of a chopper closing in on the area. They looked outside to see two choppers and one transport helicopter. One chopper enters an open area and six members of the White Fang repel to the ground. They hid in plain sight as the chopper leaves and they hunt down nearby guards. Blake and Weiss ready their weapons so they can prepare a preemptive strike.
"I guess we won't be getting out so easily." Blake said.
"Yeah. But let's do what we came here for." Weiss said.
The second chopper follows in after the first one, and 10 men in black suits and red sunglasses repel down readying to enter one of the store houses and steal the dust. Luckily for Weiss and Blake they weren't in the weapons room yet. They eavesdrop on one of the men's coversation with Torchwick, which they guessed he was in the transport helicopter. Torchwick was here after all.
"We getting the dust now." Said one of the henchmen.
"Good. Now don't forget to enter the next storehouse to get our other supplies." Torchwick said over the radio.
"Understood. White Fang is heading there right now. Where going to finish up here in t-minus 2 minutes."
"We will land as soon as it's done. Do not delay."
Blake an Weiss were observing the henchmen stealing the dust from higher ground.
"Well it looks like we only have two minutes before he lands." Blake said.
"Let's get to the weapons room. They won't leave until they get them." Weiss said.
They move to the weapons room and see that the White Fang is about to enter. However, some of the guards show up and are ready to enter a firefight.
"Freeze!" One of the guards yelled. The White Fang focused their attention on the guards by readying their weapons. Blake and Weiss decided to break from the shadows the moment a member of the White Fang aims his gun to the guards. Blake dove in smite the gun out of the man's hand, while Weiss struck down another from the air. Using her runes, Weiss managed to push herself toward another enemy and strike him down. The remaining three of the six members ran into the weapons room and began to start a fire fight with the guards. As for the ten henchmen, they started to flank the guards and this caught Blake and Weiss' attention. They overheard their status report over their radio.
"What the hell is going on down there?" Torchwick shouted.
"Two huntresses just took out three White Fang." One of the henchmen said.
"Damn it. Of all the-. Well get rid of them."
Weiss and Blake tried to focus on the henchmen, who where more focused on the objective by trying to attack the guards fighting the White Fang, so they could clear a path for extracting the weapons. Some the henchmen actually ganged up on Weiss and Blake, almost cornering them. Four more members of the White Fang enter the fight after ascending from Torchwick's chopper, aiming their guns at Weiss and Blake. One wrong move, even with Weiss runes could actually kill them. The transport chopper was about to land, and they saw that the guards where almost outnumbered and they did not know what to do at this point. They almost gave up. Suddenly, out of nowhere, came a burst of flames, pushing some of the henchmen out of the way. Weiss then saw rose petals fly around her and Blake, and they see a flash of red strike the four White Fang members. They couldn't believe who was there with them.
"Well it looks like you two could use some help." Said the voice of Yang, who leaped out in front of them next to her sister Ruby. Weiss and Blake were glad to see them.
