A week had passed since Team ENDD had joined the Beacon academy and they had been fitting in just fine. However, not everyone was entirely grateful for their arrival. Pyrrha stood at the window of her dorm room looking down at Jaune being trained by Darron in the courtyard. Darron was currently forcing Jaune to fight while reciting information the Darron had taught him. Pyrrha now had no choice but to respect, no even admire how rapidly and effectively Darron had increased his skill. The longer she thought about it the more tears threatened to overtake her eyes, not just in sadness but in anger.
"Oh Jaune." She whispered to herself careful not to wake ren or godforbid Nora. "Why did you leave me? I know Darron is apparently a much better teacher than me but… I thought you were finally
figuring it out. I keep hoping and hoping you'll realize how much I love you one day but your such an idiot. an adorable idiot but an idiot nonetheless. Now that ASSHOLE Darron has shown up and ruined everything I've tried to do/ You may still come around and we train on the roof after classes but even those you're starting to skip, and it's all DARRON"S FAULT." That last declaration was the final straw as Pyrrha couldn't hold in her and began crying. She continued crying until a soft hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Pyrrha? Are you ok?" Ren asked softly.
"Y-yeah i'm fine." Pyrrha answered earning a skeptical look from Ren.
"Pyrrha there's no need to hide it. We all know how you feel about Jaune." Pyrrha wiped the remaining tears from her eyes.
"I'm that obvious huh. Well none of that matters now since he obviously doesn't feel the same way."
"Don't be ridiculous. Just because Jaune doesn't train with you as much doesn't mean that he doesn't have interest in you. He's doing what he believes is best for the team. Just talk to him I'm sure he'll understand." Pyrrha gave Ren a small smile.
"Thanks Ren. I really shouldn't get angry at Darron. He's just trying to help." Ren nodded in understanding.
"Good to hear. Try and get some more sleep before Nora wakes up. God knows no one sleeps after
that. " Pyrrha walked back to her bunk and laid down. She fell asleep to the faint sounds of Jaune and Darron's swords clashing in the courtyard. Later that day the teams were sitting in professor Peach's aura control class. Everyone was focused on Beacon's only interesting teacher as she continued a lecture on aura manifestation. Pyrrha leaned back and knocked on the bottom of Darron's desk lightly.
"Psst. Darron." She whispered.
"What" he answered.
"I need to talk to you after class… alone."
"Understood." Darron agreed as he pulled back to avoid being caught by professor Peach so that he wasn't stuck as one of her 'test subjects'. After class Pyrrha quickly gathered up her stuff and moved to leave the room.
"Pyrrha where are you going?" Jaune called after her.
"I'm just going to the library to pick up some books. I'll catch up with you later." Pyrrha waved as she sprinted out of the room. Darron smirked at Pyrrha's hurry.
"Yo All, I need to go solve some shit." Darron said. Allister just laughed.
"With Pyrrha. Boy I bet I know what this is about." Allister answered.
"I guarantee it." Darron responded as he left the room, while Allister turned to gossip with the team. Darron made his way to the 2nd floor of the library which was usually deserted by this time of day.
"Hello Darron." Pyrrha greeted. Darron nodded waiting for her to start. "Well the reason I want to talk to you is because... IwantyoutohelpmetellJauneIlikehim." Darron stared at her for a second before he burst out laughing. "Stop. this is serious." Pyrrha scolded looking around nervously hoping nobody heard him.
"I totally called it. Seriously though if that's your problem why did you come to me? In case you haven't noticed my wishful love life is kinda sinking deadass to the bottom of the ocean." Darron
told her.
"Yeah, It's not hard to miss but you've been hanging out with Jaune a lot lately and you're always so confident even as the leader of your team I was hoping you could give me some advice." Pyrrha replied. Darron just shook his head.
"Look I'm only confident because I have my team to support me but in all reality take him somewhere that means something to the two of you and just lay it all on the table. I mean the worst that could happen, Jaune rejects you tells you you not your type, or he's gay, or something else so you guys continue being partners but the air is forever filled with the awkward tension of your unrequited love until it seeps into every single aspect of your partner dynamic then eventually decreases all of the team's performance and before you know it your inability to cope results in team JNPR expulsion from Beacon academy forcing you guys to go your separate ways and live homeless and hunt for food until you all eventually die of either starvation,dehydration,or exposure." Pyrrha punched Darron's arm hard.
"That's not helping." She hissed causing Darron to laugh.
"I'm kidding but seriously I'm pretty sure I won't take my own advice but think about it Jaune's crazier for you than you think." Darron turned to head back for the stairs. Just as his foot landed on the first step a light bulb turned on in his head and he grinned mischievously. Darron turned back to Pyrrha.
"Hey Pyrrha. Do you want a foolproof plan to find out whether or not Jaune likes you back?" Pyrrha nodded furiously. Darron walked over and whispered something in her ear. Pyrrha's eyes widened.
"Trust me," Darron said as he led her over to a nearby table to begin discussing his new plan. After Professor peach's class Yang decided to go to the gym and hit the bag around. Allister followed her. slightly concerned. Yang had been going to the gym after class everyday for a while. Allister had initially just brushed it off as a usual routine but there was something off about the way she would work out.
"C'mon slowpoke let's go." Yang called snapping Allister back to ran after Yang down to the Beacon gym. Once they had arrived Yang immediately jumped on one of the open punch bags. Allister just resigned to watching Yang as she laid blows all over the bag. Allister couldn't help but stare as Yang gracefully danced around the bag throwing punches and kicks. The way her strong arms caused the bag to swing back and forward. The way her legs beautifully extended to hit even the highest points on the target. The way her breasts bounced with each shift of her weight.
"Like what you see?" Yang asked flirtatiously with a wink, totally catching Allister redhanded. Allister eyes widened momentarily before he managed to play it off.
"Of course I do." Allister replied confidently. Yang just laughed and pulled into a ready stance.
"Then come and get it." you're on." Allister agreed as he stood to and started chasing Yang throughout
the gym earning them some weird stares from the other occupants. Allister chased Yang around the gym but was quickly surprised at how agile the blonde brawler was. Allister finally managed to catch Yang after jumping over a leg press. Allister tackled Yang to the ground and they started to wrestle. The two of them laughed as they rolled around trying to best one another. Eventually conceded and let Yang straddle him resting her weight on his lap.
"Hahaha, I have defeated you. I am the queen." Yang declared to everyone in the gym catching their attention. The girls giggled in amusement at Allister's 'weakness' while the guys just looked envious.
"Yes you have bested me milady." Allister responded deciding to play along with her antics.
"May I ask you a question your gorgeous highness?" Yang blushed at the sudden compliment before contemplating it.
"You may, but only if I may ask one in return." Came Yang's eventual answer.
"Very well. Why are you training so hard. I know what it is like to push yourself to be better than your best but what you're doing is ridiculous. You push yourself far beyond what you should and it's not safe. I would know. Plus your team has said you've been training like this for months. i'm just worried about you." Yang was thrown off guard by Allister's question.
"It's simple.. really it is I swear. I'm just always about being better it's kinda my thing. Don't worry about it." Yang managed to sputter out. Allister just sighed.
"I'm just worried about you." Allister reinforced.
"Anyway you said you knew what it was like to push too hard. What did you mean by that?" Yang asked.
"Really, Me and my team are full of people who have plenty of reason to be angry with people. I'm sure you know all of our stories by now. Do you really think anyone could go through those experiences and not want to be as strong as possible to extract our revenge. Fortunately Darron has always been there to help us keep a cool head whenever the desire for vengeance became too much." Allister answered.
"Yeah about him. The way you guys talk about Darron is almost like you revere him or something I
mean he's just your leader." Yang continued. "We wouldn't talk about him that way if he didn't deserve it. Darron's the one who founded the team. He's the one who pushed us far beyond anything we ever thought possible. Furthermore, no matter how bad anything got Darron would always have our back and be there for us every second of it. He's the one who even turned us into a family. Darron has never led us astray before and I don't believe he ever will." Yang leaned down and whispered
in Allister's ear.
"You know, Your loyalty is one of the parts about you I find quite… hot." Allister seemed unfazed as Yang sat back up.
"Well I'm glad to know you admire my...heat but I'm sure I can show you 100 other things that would make you even hotter." Allister commented. Yang stared at Allister as he sat up causing her to fall back. Allister reached out and held her on his lap. Allister put on a smug expression as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"You know maybe we should get back to our friends. I'll bet they're worried, yeah worried, because we've been gone so long, you know yeah. So anyway. I'm going yo go take a shower and get cleaned up because I've been working out way harder than you today so I'll be right back yeah." Yang stammered as she abruptly stood up and rushed into the girl's locker room. Allister stood up and became aware that there were still people in the room who had just been watching them. Allister just flashed them a smile and a thumbs up before taking a seat on the bench near the girls locker room. Yang leaned her back against one of the lockers as she panted slightly. 'Holy crap. How did
he do that? No one has ever been able to make me lose my cool and get flustered like that. I mean why couldn't he though? He has those strange whitish eyes, that great sense of humor, not to mention that freaking rock hard body. NO bad Yang' Yang shook herself from her thoughts trying to think of anything else but couldn't stop her thoughts from returning to Allister. 'why can't I stop thinking about him. It couldn't be...nah could it. There's no way I could have fallen for him, especially in
a week. Guys are usually the ones falling for me.' Yang decided to mull things over while taking her shower so as not too arouse any new suspicion in Allister. Allister still sat outside the locker room when he finally heard one of the showers turn on. Allister suddenly felt the some cold air slowly diffusing from the girl's locker room door right next to him. Allister burst out laughing as he realized what that meant. Of course Yang could hear him and Allister was rewarded with another round of
electricity. Yang completed her shower as quickly as possible and left the gym to go meet up with her other friends, practically dragging a still smoldering Allister behind her. Not much later that day teams RWBY, JNR, and ENDD plus Sun were sitting around team RWBY's room just horsing around. They were having a scroll game tournament. They were competing to see who was really the best at Ruby and Yang's favorite fighting game. So far Weiss was actually holding her own against Max, who had won his last 3 matches. Everyone cheering for who they wanted to win except for Blake, who just read one of her books while being held in Sun's arms.
"Man Pyrrha and Darron have been gone a really long time." Yang observed. "Maybe they're off having their own fun." Yang grinned as everyone in the room sent her an angry glare.
"Pyrrha wouldn't do… that with him right? They've only known each other a week." Jaune asked nervously.
"I don't know Jaune. Darron definitely has the brains to pull a of a capture and he's got the looks to boot(Maybe not as good as Al though) wouldn't surprise me if Darron dropped a few smooth lines and her panties just fucking dropped.(Fuck me)" Jaune blushed bright red at the thought.
"EW! Yang that's gross! I don't need to hear about my friends getting it on." Ruby exclaimed.
"Yang please stop disrespecting our teammate. Pyrrha is far too self respecting for something like that." Ren asked, calmly as ever.
"Alright alright." Yang conceded as she turned herself to lay her back against Allister's arm as he sat next to her on her bed cheering Max on in the fight.
"Don't worry Yang I'm sure one day these losers will come to appreciate your humor." Allister encouraged.
"The only thing that will be admired here is your astronomical tolerance for her humor." Zade
retorted causing the rest of the group to laugh as Allister sent a middle finger at Zade. Suddenly Ruby's and Jaune's scrolls began ringing. Both of the leaders excused themselves to take their respective calls. Ruby answered hers first.
"Ms. Rose?" the voice on the other end asked.
"Oh, Professor Ozpin what's up what do you need?"
Ruby answered.
"I am calling to inform you that your team as well as team ENDD are going to be going on another Mission."
"AWESOME!" Ruby exclaimed."Where do you need us sir." Ozpin laughed on the other end of the line.
"You will be accompanied by Professor Goodwitch to assist a town in the eastern part of Vale. It is a
moderately sized town called Sirak that has seen an unusually high levels of grimm attack in the past few weeks and has called us in to clear up the surrounding area and give the locals time to set up a more extensive defense. Your departure time will be at 10:30 tomorrow morning and be sure to pack for at least 5 days and constant combat. There will be no time to rest on this mission so make sure your teams are in top shape." Ozpin informed Ruby.
"Sure thing professor We won't let you down." Ruby was about to hang up when Ozpin called her back to the scroll.
"Oh " He said. "One last piece of advice. Keep a close eye on team ENDD while you are on this mission, Make sure nothing gets too… out of hand. Have a good day." Ozpin hung up his scroll leaving Ruby confused by his cryptic final words. Ruby just shrugged them off as Ozpin's normal mannerisms and headed back to her room. Jaune stepped into his room across the hall from Team RWBY's and picked up.
"Hello Jaune." Pyrrha spoke on the other side.
"Hi, Pyrrha what's up?" Jaune asked.
"Oh, not much Jaune." She answered. "I was just thinking about a little favor you could do for me." Jaune gulped.
"A-a favor. Sure anything what do you need?"
"Well… I'd hate to be a bother but could you please meet me on the rooftop where we used to usually train say, oh I don't know, 9o'clock tonight. and wear something nice." Pyrrha's innocent tone caused Jaune's heart to race.
"Sure thing I'll see you there." Jaune put away his scroll and quickly walked over to the dorm bathroom. Jaune turned the sink on and splashed cold water on his face. 'Calm down Jaune' He thought to himself. 'She probably just wants to hang out or something. She's way too far out of your league don't get your hopes up.' Those internal chantings went on for a minute until Jaune had convinced himself there was no hidden meaning to Pyrrha's invitation he headed back to his friends. Later that night around 8:50 Max was sitting at his desk in team ENDD's room putting the final touches on a project he was working on when suddenly Allister and Zade came bursting in.
"YO MAX WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Allister's yelling broke Max's concentration and caused him to fumble his project causing it to knock over a small box on his desk full of identical projects. They all fell to the floor in one unidentifiable lump. Max started to sweat profusely as Zade asked.
"Whatcha got going on over there?" Max quickly spun around.
"Nothing!" He yelled defensively. "It's just something I'm doing for the boss." Max quickly looked down at his scroll as he received a message. It was from Darron and read 'Max bro, Are you done yet. Time to deliver the package.' Max turned around and randomly grabbed one of the identical projects off the floor and prayed it was the right one before rushing out the door. Allister and Zade looked at each other for a moment before laughing.
"Man Darron and Max doing something together. there's at least a 75% chance something is gonna blow up soon. I'll bet you 100 lien that something does." Allister challenged, holding out a hand. Zade
reach over and shook it.
"You're on." The two continued to speculate at what trouble the other two were about to get themselves into. Jaune was nervous. He was walking down the halls in the suit he wore to the school dance earlier in the year. His palms were sweating as he slowly approached the door to the roof he and Pyrrha had trained on for so long until he began working with Darron. Jaune reached out and took a deep breath before yanking the door open and gasping. Pyrrha was standing looking out at the sky wearing the same long red dress she did the day they danced together. When Pyrrha heard the door open she turned around and smiled seeing Jaune just as nervous as she was at this time. Pyrrha steeled her nerves and began sauntering over to Jaune. Pyrrha made sure that every step she
took exemplified her hips trying to draw Jaune's attention. It worked like a charm until Jaune caught himself staring and looked back at her eyes. Pyrrha reached out and grabbed Jaune's hand before pulling him into the center of the roof.
"Pyrrha wh-what?" Jaune stuttered.
"I've just been thinking that since we haven't been spending much time as partners since you started training with Darron I thought we could just dance like we did before and have some fun." Jaune nodded, knowing her wouldn't have training with Darron tomorrow anyway since he would be busy preparing for the mission. Pyrrha used her scroll to start a slow song on the speaker she had set up on the roof and the two began to dance. Jaune led Pyrrha in a slow steady rhythm with the occasional spin or dip. As the two continued Jaune noticed that Pyrrha started to look at Jaune differently. She no longer looked like she was just enjoying her company but rather seemed euphoric to be in his arms. 'Nah you imagining things.' Jaune had convinced himself again until Pyrrha spoke.
"Jaune." She whispered.
"Yeah?" Jaune whispered back only now realizing how close the two of them had gotten.
"I-I want to tell you something." Pyrrha's gaze drifted downwards as a clear sign of her increasing nervousness.
"You can tell me anything Pyrrha." Jaune reassured her shifting his arms from a normal dancing hold to her back in a kind of embrace, his heart beating a million miles an hour in the excitement.
"Jaune… I-I-I… I love you."
"What mph." Jaune's response was immediately cut off as Pyrrha leaned forward and passionately kissed Jaune(we all know how this ended last time). Jaune's eyes widened before slowly floating closed and he began to return the kiss. The two kissed for what seemed like eternity until Pyrrha tenderly pulled away from Jaune.
"Pyrrha." Jaune began until he was interrupted again. This time by the sound of a shot ringing off in the distance and the sudden weight in his arms.
"J-Jaune." Pyrrha stared wide eyed and gasping for breath before collapsing in Jaune's arms. Jaune quickly placed her to the ground and saw blood flowing from a small hole in her abdomen staining even the red dress she had one now.
"Pyrrha...Pyrrha Hold on. You'll be fine. C'mon Pyrrha you can't just go like this. Please Pyrrha stay with me." Jaune continued to plead as he pulled of his Jacket and began applying pressure to Pyrrha wound while she continued to gasp for breath and fight to remain conscious. 500 meters away hiding in a bush and dressed in full ghillie suits Darron and Max laid watching the events unfold. Darron slowly pulled his eye away from the scope of his stolen sniper rifle before unloading the clip and quickly glancing down at it. Darron slowly turned to Max who was looking back at him with his mouth agape.
"You brought the WRONG FUCKING CLIP!" Darron yelled throwing the clip at Max.
"Oh SHIT SHIT SHIT. I know I fucked up. I was working on it when Allister and Zade came in and interrupted me and it got mixed in with all my other clips and so I just grabbed one." Darron sighed.
"Calm down. It's cool this was a stupid plan to begin with anyway. It's my fault. She'll be fine though. I made sure to aim for one of the few places were a vital organ would be affected. We just need to get the fuck outta here before Ozpin." Darron was cut off as Ozpin caused his voice to come out of both their scrolls.
"Before Ozpin what. finds out what happened and figures out we were the cause of it. Of course I knew you idiots were behind it. Only you guys could be so reckless when dealing with such a matter. Be lucky you morons are smarter than you look. Now You idiots are going to feel some pain, then you will go help Jaune and nobody will ever hear about this ever again!"
"Yes Sir." Was all Max and Darron said before the electricity began to course through their bodies. The boys endured the shocks for a full minute before they ceased. Darron and Max immediately sprung into action and ran over to the building Pyrrha was on top of. They used the windowsills to
scale the building quickly. As the climbed onto the roof Darron immediately pulled out the first aid kit he had brought specifically incase some bullshit like this occurred while Max started apologizing.
"I DON'T CARE! Just save her and I'll forgive you guys for everything. I love her and can't lose her already." Darron went to work on Pyrrha cutting a small hole in the front so he could examine the wound. Darron noticed Pyrrha had managed to stay awake and was smiling at Darron. Darron winked at her going back to work whispering.
"I told you it would work." Darron used this pair of tweezers to quickly pull out the round which had fortunately not buried itself deeply in Pyrrha's flesh. A few textbook stitches later and Pyrrha was safe and sound. Jaune rushed over and Fell to his knees as he hugged Pyrrha. The two of them crying for both her safety from the incident as well as joy for their newly revealed feelings. While they were wrapped in each other's embrace Darron and Max silently slid backwards to the door before running away as fast as possible. When Darron and Max arrived at the dorm room to find an expectant Zade and Allister.
"We heard a gunshot. Did something explode?" Zade asked.
"No much worse." Darron answered.
"FUCK!" Allister interrupted briefly as he smacked 100 lein into Zade's open hand.
"Anyway." Darron continued. "I may have tried to prove to Pyrrha that Jaune really is into her but accidently shot her. Fortunately I used a modified stolen assault rifle so she wasn't severely injured. She won't even have a scar." As Darron finished the story Allister just laughed.
"That's classic bro. Best story I've heard in awhile."
"Regardless of today's events we have job in the morning and we should probably be in top shape for that." Max stated. The team agreed in with him and individually turned in for the night. Allister woke up with a feeling of dread that he just couldn't place. He looked over to the clock in the room and read 12:45am. Allister quietly stood up and got dressed in his combat attire. Allister couldn't explain why he was leaving the dorm this early in the morning but something just kept compelling him. Allister was about to start walking down the hall when he saw Yang exit her room as well. Yang was dressed in full combat gear with Ember Celica on her wrists and she walked with a purpose. Fortunately, She had turned the other direction and had not seen Allister. Allister puzzled decided to follow her. 'Now where can a delicate flower like you be going this early in the morning.' Allister questioned in his thoughts as
he followed Yang out of the dorm building. Allister was almost caught a couple of times but managed to conceal his large frame behind bushes on the campus. Yang continued to walk until she reached the Beacon Garage. Allister managed to slip through the door after her without causing any additional noise. Allister spectated as Yang unlocked her motorcycle, Bumblebee, and began to re up the engine. Yang opened the garage doors and began driving out onto the campus. Allister immediately
ran to the nearest motorcycle and, using some of the hotwiring skills Max had taught the team, Started the engine. Allister used his fist to smash out the headlights. Allister managed to follow the sounds of Yang's motorcycle to the highway staying at least 1 mile behind her. They must have driven for at least an hour and a half before Yang pulled up to a rundown warehouse in a sketchy neighborhood. Yang pulled bumblebee inside and locked it up. Allister, not knowing who's bike her had
driven just left it on the street. Allister leaned against the wall near the door outside the warehouse and peered in. Allister could see at least 10 guards who were very heavily armed. Yang stepped into an elevator towards the back and allowed it to carry her to the lower levels. 'What the living fuck is going on here and more importantly why the fuck is Yang here. I hope she's ok.' Allister thought to himself as he assessed the situation. Deciding he was incapable of making past the guards
Allister decided to gain access through the nearby sewer. Allister dropped down into the sewer and wandered around for 20 minutes until he found an access panel that opened into the lower levels of the warehouse. Allister stepped through the point and looked curiously at what he saw. Allister was on a catwalk far above a large octagon fighting arena 75ft across with a chain link fence around it and barbed wire at the top. There was a large crowd around the arena cheering on a contestant
who appeared to have just knocked out another opponent. Allister looked closely and noticed the fighter who was receiving all their praise was Yang.
"Nice Allister." He muttered to himself. "You find yourself a nice girl you like and she's part of goddamned fight club." Since the fight was over the spectators slowly made their way out of the arena. Yang, however, stood around in the center of the arena. Allister remained quiet on his perch. A large door opened on one side of the room and three men walked in. The one in the lead was wearing a full leather get up like a cowboy would. The two men that flanked his sides wore western deputy uniforms.
"Ah shit." Allister muttered to himself.
"Yang, baby what another amazing fight." The cowboy said as he and his companions stepped into the arena. Allister growled slightly at his word choice.
"Cut the crap John where's my money." Yang demanded.
"See Yang that's the problem. You aren't getting any money today." John answered. Yang looked at John confused.
"It's not everyday you have someone who can come in get so close to losing and then end up winning in the end." John continued.
"Someone like that who can defeat all of my champions so easily and every day for weeks is bad for business. So Yang it appears we're going to have to cut you loose." Before Yang could respond John pulled a pistol from his belt and shot Yang in her leg. The bullet passed clean through shattering the bone and exiting the other side. Yang screamed in pain as she fell to the floor of the arena. John walked around Yang and pointed his pistol at her head execution style.
"I'm sorry it had to be this way. But not really." 'Fuck it' Allister thought to himself as he jumped from the catwalk and fell a good 300 feet to the arena floor. Allister landed with a deafening crack as the floor could barely support the force of the impact. John turned to see Allister standing up and looking at him menacingly.
"Fuck. It's you. GET HIM!" John commanded. The first of the deputy looking fools pulled out a bladed whip and tried to bring it across Allisters back. Allister just reached out and grabbed the bladed whip with his bare hand. Allister yanked on the whip and turned placing a punch into the first deputy's face. The first deputy's head slammed into the ground with a sickening crack as his skull broke in both the impact point of Allisters fist and the floor . The second deputy ran at Allister with a pair of brass knuckles. Allister grabbed the deputy's first punch. Allister started to crush the 2nd deputy's hand until the bones started to break and tear through the skin. When Allister let go the 2nd deputy fell into a mess of tears and painful cries as he held onto his destroyed hand. Yang was barely able to look on in shock because of the pain in her leg but she could still make out that Allister was here and kicking some serious ass. John turned his pistol to Allister and started firing. Allister shuffled forward careful
to dodge each bullet. Once John emptied the clip he flipped the pistol and tried to pistol whip Allister. The pistol came across Allisters face but he didn't even flinch. Allister stood intimidatingly over the John which was easy considering John was only 5'9'' Allister grabbed John by the collar and lifted him with one hand. Allister flipped John over his head and slammed John down into the floor head first. The impact broke John's nose causing it to bleed and rendered John totally unconscious. satisfied with his work Allister ran over to Yang and kneeled next to her.
"Yang are you ok beside the obvious leg wound?" Allister asked. Yang nodded. Allister gently reached up and wiped the tears from her eyes as he inspected her leg. Suddenly Allister lifted her in a bridal style carry causing Yang to give a small shriek of surprise.
"Don't worry bout a thing you'll be just fine." Allister reassured her. Allister ran over to the elevator and kicked open the door. Allister held Yang in one arm as he used the other arm to climb the elevator rope at 3 times the speed of an actual elevator. Allister kicked open the elevator door at the top only to be met by the ten guards he tried to avoid earlier. Allister quickly kicked out the knew of the one nearest to the elevator before turning into a roundhouse kick on the head of the guard on the other side of the elevator. Allister stayed low behind the remaining cars keeping undercover from all the gunfire as he made a mad dash for the exit. Three of the guards however moved to stand in front of the door. Yang lightly tapped on Allister's back before pointing his attention in the directions of a small
motorcycle nearby. Allister nodded. Allister picked up the bike and threw it at one of the warehouses large windows. The window shattered and Allister immediately jumped out and took sprinting to the nearest hospital. It took Allister less than a minute to sprint the 5 blocks to the nearest emergency room. Allister burst into the room and explained what had happened. A team of on call doctors came over and placed Yang on a gurney before wheeling her into emergency surgery. Allister sat in the waiting room unable to sit still as his continuously worried about her. After about 2 hours one of the doctors came out to talk to him.
"Is she going to be ok?" Was the first and only thing he said.
"She lost a lot of blood, but since you were able to get her here so quickly she'll be perfectly fine. I'd say about 3 days of super heavy dust treatment could have her combat ready again. You can go see her if you want she's just down the hall." All Allister had to hear was you can go before he started
walking down the hall. Yang groaned as she tried to sit up. She looked around and saw she was in a hospital gown and bed. A nurse was taking her vitals when she noticed Yang.
"Oh! you're awake. that's good news are you feeling ok?" the nurse asked.
"Where am I?" was Yang's response.
"You're in a hospital. You were brought here after being shot in the leg. You had some emergency surgery to get the bone in your leg back into proper shape so you should be perfectly fine. You should be glad your boyfriend got you here when he did or our jobs would have been a whole lot harder." Yang blushed slightly at her comment.
"He's not my boyfriend. By the way where is he?"
"I'm right here." Allister answered leaning against the door frame. The nurse gave Yang a quick wink, causing Yang to blush furiously again, before she left the two alone. Allister pulled a chair over next to Yang's bed and sat down.
"How are you feeling.?" he asked. "Better now." came Yang's answer.
"So, Yang why were you down their fighting anyway?"
"It's none of your business." Came Yang's rude reply.
"Bullshit." Allister accused.
"There's no way you've been training for hours after classes every day and fighting in this club for weeks without some reason." Yang looked down in sadness until Allister's voice softened.
"I'm worried about you Yang. You've been pushing yourself too hard and you're bound to get hurt if keep on this path. Tell me what the matter is and I'll do everything I can to help." Yang looked at Allister and saw the real concern in his eyes before averting her gaze.
"It's because I'm useless."
"What?" Allister asked not believing what he had heard.
"I'm worthless. I'm weak. I get angry and that's the only thing I do right. The reason I fight so much and so hard is so that I won't be a failure. That's obviously not working. Earlier in the year. My team and I were fighting to stop Roman torchwick from blowing a number of major holes letting grimm into the city. While I was on the train I got into a fight with this really tiny ice cream looking bitch. It wasn't even a contest. I got smacked around left and right and couldn't land a single blow. The only reason I'm still alive today is because I got saved by my absentee mother who I've never even met. Ever since then I've trained and trained and trained so that next time I can actually be a huntress instead of another failure." Yang gripped the sheets as the tears started to flow. Allister sat himself on the bed next to Yang and pulled her into his arms. Yang buried her face in his chest and continued to cry.
"Shhhh. Yang it's ok if you need help sometimes, your team is here for you. Team ENDD is here for you, I am here for you. I promise you Yang I'll do anything possible to make you more than strong enough to kill that girl next time you meet her." Allister whispered to Yang as he slowly stroked her hair, calming her down. Once Yang had stopped crying she laid back down her bed. Allister
continued to stroke her hair until the Nurse came back. The nurse gave Yang a knowing look before speaking.
"Well miss Xiao Long, You have been cleared for discharge. (that badass healthcare though.) All we need is your payment. The nurse handed Yang a slip of paper and Yang's head nearly exploded.
"3500 line! No way can I pay that i barely even have 300 lien left for the month." Allister just calmly pulled out his wallet and extracted 3500 lien in cash and handed it to the nurse. Both the nurse and Yang stared at Allister's large sum of cash. The nurse thanked Allister and left the room. Allister smirked
"Wait here." Allister stood up and left the room and a confused Yang. Shortly after Allister came back. Allister pulled Yang onto his back and walked out of the hospital. Yang saw Bumblebee parked out front.
"Thanks for saving my bike." She said.
"No problem" Allister answered. Allister sat the two of them down on the bike and began the drive back to Beacon. Allister made sure to get her home in under an hour. Allister parked the bike where is belonged and carried Yang back to her dorm. He slowly opened the door as not to disturb any of the other members of team RWBY. Allister placed Yang gently down on her bed and tucked her in. Allister was about to leave when Yang motioned him closer. As Allister leaned down she grabbed his collar and pulled him in for a kiss. Allister just relaxed and returned her kiss. After a moment Yang pulled away and whispered.
"Please… don't go." Allister's expression softened and he nodded. Allister climbed under Yang's covers and pulled her close to his chest. Allister could feel Yang's semblance naturally keeping her warm and he found it rather soothing. Allister's train of thought was interrupted by a series of small snores that began to emit from Yang, as she had already fallen asleep. Allister sighed as he lay down next to her and wrapped an arm around her protectively and pulling her even closer as he too fell asleep. Ozpin sighed as he sat in his office with a rather tired look on his face. The alarm he had set in order to notify him should any member of team ENDD leave campus unauthorized began ringing. Ozpin watched Allister's entire adventure saving Yang and even taking care of her afterwards. Ozpin rubbed his hands over his face to prevent himself from falling asleep at his desk. Ozpin shut down his monitor and headed to the room he spent the night in. As he finally settled down only one thought crossed his mind. 'These idiots are going to be the death of me but, maybe they are starting to change.'
