I apologize for my lengthy break. But I watched volume 5 in theaters on Thursday and I remembered how much I love this damn show. IT WAS AWESOME. Anyway, You can expect significant efficiency regarding updates at least until this volume ends(14 episodes) Which already seems to be the trend. Thank you to all my reviews and I hope to hear more from you and hopefully some new faces in the future. Enjoy!
Weiss bit her lip hard, doing anything she could think of to stop the shaking of her body as the priest continued with the ceremony. Weiss couldn't deny that her father and had set up a gorgeous ceremony. The chapel was decorate in white, with flowers surrounding the edges. Weiss let her eyes drift back to Leo. She could see the blatant enthusiasm on his face, wanting to relieve her of her veil and probably stick his tongue down her throat. She shivered again, this time in disgust. She looked down, and gripped her bouquet harder, praying that it would all be over soon.
"Weiss schnee. Do you take Leo Baril to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part." The priest recited. Weiss snapped back into reality, shocked that the ceremony had already progressed so far. She hadn't even heard Leo say 'i do' if he'd even be asked.
"I-ii-i-i" Weiss stammered, looking for anyway to stall for time. Her eyes darted around the expectant crowd and unfortunately locked eyes with her father. She clearly could see him mouth the words 'I do' for her. Weiss looked up at Leo, a nervous smile on his face, and sighed, realizing her fate was sealed. "I d-."
Weiss's response was left incomplete as the door to the chapel burst open, causing the whole room to gasp as a small rounded figure came flying through the doorway. It wasn't until it rolled to a stop near the front row that everyone realized that it was Elric's severed head. The crowd gasped in horror, as Weiss stared hopefully at the door. Her face broke out in a curious mix of uncontrollable happiness, and unhidden worry as a battle torn Zade came sauntering through the doorway. Unfortunately, he fantastical rescue was ruined the moment Zade opened his mouth.
"I object to this union. I will not hold my peace and you'll need to cut out my tongue to stop me!" He exclaimed.
"We're already past that part asshole." Leo berated from the altar.
"Oh….." Zade noted. "Fuck you then" Zade's retort garnered light chuckling from the crowd and a burst from Qrow, who stood a few feet behind him. Leo grit his teeth and walked away from the altar, drawing his saber. He was stopped suddenly as Jacques placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Allow me." Jacques said, stepping towards Zade. "I've defeated him once and again shouldn't be a challenge." He stated, firmly staring at Zade. Zade sighed and pulled out his scythe again. Jacques thrust his hand forward, a glyph forming as fast as the eye could see. At that same moment though, Jacques felt himself immobilized by the fear of the steel blade pressed against his neck. Jacques gulped as Zade stood next to him and pressed the blade harder against his throat.
"Uh huh." Zade noted, clearly expressing his victory. The two men stared at each other, trying to express as much hate as possible.
"LORD REGINALD!" Zade cringed unapologetically as lady Eliza pushed her way through the crowd into the hall. "I knew you would come for me my love." she persisted. Zade lowered his blade from Jacques's throat, allowing him to return to his seat. Zade spun around to face Eliza.
"No." was Zade's only response. Eliza conveniently ignored his response as she rushed at him and tried to jump in his arms. Zade caught her before immediately throwing her in the direction of Leo. She hit the ground and immediately stumbled back to her feet.
"Why must my lord scorn me though." she pleaded, tears in her eyes.
"Because you pester me. I do not like you." Zade stated.
"You tell him." Qrow chimed in, earning him his own nasty glare.
"Well then." Eliza continued, her voice steady and calm. "I know what to do." She flicked her wrists and two daggers slid out of her sleeves and into her hands.
"Oh God she's a psycho." Qrow and Zade both realized simultaneously. Leo and Eliza both looked at each other and nodded. The two rushed Zade themselves. Zade growled and ran forward himself. Zade spun his scythe over his head before bringing it down towards Leo. Leo quickly came to halt and used his saber to hold the scythe blade up. Meanwhile eliza raced forward, slashing her daggers across Zade's chest, causing his blood to splatter on the white marble floor. Weiss gasped as Qrow quickly rushed in to defend his son. Qrow punched Eliza across her face, and skipped forward, pushing her away with his shoulder. Zade took the opportunity to teleport behind Leo, and Kick his back. Leo stumbled forward and turned around, just as Zade brought his scythe across Leo's face. Zade growled as his most recent strike was met with a clang. Leo stood up straight to reveal that the skin around where Zade's scythe had it had turned into diamonds. Leo knocked Zade's scythe away, slammed Zade's nose with the butt of his saber, and slashed across Zade's cheek. Zade skipped back laughing.
"I love how your semblance is just as rich as your father, that hilarious." Zade pointed out. This clearly irked Leo as his whole body became covered in diamonds. No more words were exchanged as Leo stepped forward, stabbing with his saber. Zade skipped to avoid each of the rage filled blows, and turned, slamming his scythe right between Leo's eyes. Leo flinched, closing his eyes. Zade took the opportunity, stepping in close to Leo, and teleported away, leaving behind a volley of lighting feathers. Leo had barely managed to reopen his eyes when the pain of lightning coursing through his body hit him. Leo screamed out and convulsed before falling to his knees, the diamonds cracking and falling off his body. Leo weakly looked up to see Zade standing above him.
"You're all talk." Zade said, kicking Leo over. Zade looked down at his easy opponent when a searing pain erupted in his back. Zade hunched over and coughed blood as he felt the searing pain drag its way down his back. Zade could hear Weiss call out for him as he stepped forward. Feeling, whatever was causing the pain to pull out of his back. Zade turned around to see Qrow wrestling with a feisty Eliza, a bloody dagger in her hand. Zade quickly pierced the information together. Zade seethed as Qrow dragged Eliza to the front of the chapel and arranged to pin her before the alter. Zade hobbled over, nursing his wounds, and looked at Elizabeth. She looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"My lo-lord, please. Be mi-" Her plea was silenced, much to Zade's surprise, by a tall white stiletto heel, stepping on Eliza's skull and knocking her out. Zade looked up at Weiss, as Qrow dragged Eliza's unconscious form away. Weiss stood there, her head down and face covered. She shuddered as she could barely control the tears that streaked down her cheeks.
"Zade… you're hurt… again…" Weiss barely managed to choke out.
"It does seem that way." Zade answered, ignoring the blood seeping from his many wounds.
"You shouldn't have come." Weiss stated.
"Do you love me?" Zade asked tenderly.
"I do, Weiss answered weakly, through her tears. Do you love me?"
"I do. I wouldn't be here otherwise." Zade answered.
"But why… I was… prepared to do what needed to be done to protect you." She cried.
"And so am i." Zade answered, with unflappable determination. Weiss tried to determine what Zade's statement meant when she felt his fingers gently under her chin. He lifted her chin and smiled sweetly at her.
"This is what needs to be done." Zade said softly before flipping Weiss's veil over and kissing her as deeply and as passionately as he could in his weakened state. Weiss cried even harder as she enthusiastically returned the favor.
"Ladies and gentleman I present you your newlyweds. Zade and Weiss branwen." The priest announced. Zade and Weiss stopped cold. Zade pulled away, eyes wide and incredulous, while Weiss's eyebrow twitched angrily.
"You...IDIOT!" Weiss exclaimed, slapping Zade in the head with her bouquet. "You think you can just come in here dressed like a corpse, covered in blood, beat up my own groom, then just marry me on the spot." Zade just shrugged.
"The hell, do you think I knew this would happen?" Zade defended.
"It doesn't matter!" Weiss yelled, turning towards the priest. "And you." She seethed, pointing viciously at him.
"Hey, I'm here to marry someone and dammit I did." He retorted, walking over Leo's body and walking out of the chapel. As he opened the door the sounds of gunfire and fighting fluttered in.
"Oh Shit!" Zade realized pulling out his scroll. "Guys. go home we won!" he yelled into the scroll. He put away his scroll and looked back at Weiss. Weiss shook her head in disappointment. Zade chuckled and walked over to Leo. Zade reached down, and pilfered a small box from within his jacket. Zade opened the box to reveal 2 small golden rings.
"Finally something with taste." Zade scoffed, earning some chuckles from the crowd. Zade turned and lightly tossed Weiss one of the rings, sliding the other one on his finger.
"Hold on son. Who says I approve of this." Jacques shouted, standing again. Zade sent him a dirty look, Jacques took the hint and promptly sat down.
"Father. Don't you have something else you need to do?" Weiss asked, threateningly. Jacques pouted for a moment but reluctantly pulled out his scroll, calling to have the hit on Zade called off.
"Thank you." Weiss said politely. She walked over to Zade and held his hand. "Guess we might as well look the part." She joked. Zade chuckled.
"Yeah, no kidding." He replied as the two casually walked out of the chapel.
In his seat Jacques was still fuming about the incident.
"How dare that little bastard make a fool out of me. I'll show him. Winter…. Winter… Winter?!" Jacques inquired looking everywhere for his eldest child. JAcques stood up and scanned the room, when he also notices a strange lack of Qrow in the room too.
"Qrow you bastard!" Jacques exclaimed to the heavens storming out of the chapel himself.
Just outside of Vale, team ENDD and company were pushed back and were now defending the windows of their safe house. Max has packed up his control center and moved it to the basement, which was being guarded by Allister. The rest of the group used any and all firearms they could think of to keep the enemies out of the house. Darron stepped into the frame of one window, fired three rounds at his enemies, when vibrating on his scroll stopped him. Darron pulled his scroll out and quickly scanned the contents, smirking.
"Yes dear?" Blake inquired, seeing the rare image of an almost smiling Darron.
Darron held up a finger with an expression that simply said 'watch this' Darron stepped away from his window and up to the second floor of the house. He grabbed a bullhorn and climbed out another window and onto the roof. The entire crowd of enemies looked up at Darron as he continued to speak.
"Attention scum of the earth… myself included. It's over. The hit has been called off. It's over. Go home. No one else wants to die. Just be glad that for some obscene and unexplained reason, the grimm and army let this seige go without any major interference. I don't think we'll get much time if we continue. So shut up and go home." Darron announced. All the gunfire immediately stopped and all the mercenaries who had shown up to get the reward walked away grumbling. Darron used his wings to lightly jump from the roof to the porch and walked back inside the house. The rest of the teams stared at him momentarily.
"We won." Darron said, inciting cheers of joy and victory from everyone, except Ren. Max and Allister ran up from the basement, happy as clams. Ruby, in her excitement, forgot she was wearing Titan and tried jumping for joy when she crashed through to the second floor and got stuck.
"Oh no!" Ruby and Titan both exclaimed. "Sorry!" Everyone just looked on laughing.
After managing to dislodge Titan, and get Ruby out of it. The gan was finally on there way back to beacon. Though two of them decided to stay for just and extra moment. Yang and Allister both stood next to each other, across from Athena, who looked on them with pride. Her soldiers had already begun the march back home.
"I must say you are everything I imagined." Athena said, smiling.
"Thank you mother." Allister replied.
"Huh. I was talking about Yang" Athena clarified as Yang snickered and Allister groaned.
"Thank you your majesty." Yang said, pretending to curtsy. Athena laughed lightly.
"Please, call me Athena. Those who are in such high standing with my son are as much my own family as him." She responded. Yang smiled and leaned against Allister happily. Allister smiled.
"It's good to see you mother." He stated.
"You as well son. I hope you continue to be as valiant and fine a man as I've seen as of late, and I have no doubt that you will serve as an excellent king." She said.
"Let's not get crazy." Allister warned.
"Just keep yourself surrounded with the best of friends. Like Yang or Darron. Darron especially, the man is formidable is he not?" Athena advised. Allister nodded.
'Yeah. That's why he's the leader. Honestly he's the best leader, and I wouldn't have it anyother way." Athena nodded and placed her hand on Allister shoulder.
"Until next time my son." She said, turning and walking after her own troops. Allister smiled and looked down at Yang, who was hanging on his arm. She quickly pushed onto the balls of her feet and gave him a quick peck on his lips. Allister playfully picked her up and started walking, hoping to catch up with their friends before reaching Beacon.
That night, at Beacon academy. The gang sat outside the school, hopeful for Zade's return. Each member staring intently at the main entrance of the school. Their spirits were uplifted as an airship starts to lower itself onto the landing platform. The back of the airship lowered, revealing Zade and Weiss walking down the ramp. Team RWBY were the first to reach the two teammates.
"WEISSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Ruby yelled, using her semblance to nearly tackle Weiss. Weiss chuckled as the hyperactive red head hugged her tightly.
"It's good to be home Ruby." Weiss chuckled. She squeezed Zade's hand lightly who squeezed back. A moment later the rest of the group arrived. Blake and Yang quickly hugged Weiss, while Darron, Allister, and Max nodded approvingly at Zade.
"You look like shit partner." Max noted. Zade shrugged.
"Long days with no rest." Zade explained.
"We can imagine." Darron noted. Zade chuckled and Weiss pulled away from her friends, smiling. Zade sighed and looked at the group.
"Alright. I appreciate everything you guys did for us, and I'd love to tell you all about it. However, right now, We are very tired, it is very late, and I would like to go to bed with my wife thank you." Zade explained as he and a chuckling Weiss started walking into the building. Just as he reached the door, he stopped, hearing the click of Ozpin's cane on the stones.
"Zade. Just to ensure you do understand there will be consequences for your reckless actions, however noble your intentions?" Ozpin asked. Zade nodded and opened the door, letting Weiss into the building and following her. The gang stood there, staring at Ozpin for a moment before, surprisingly, Ren decided to speak up.
"Did anyone else here him say wife?" He asked timidly. They all pondered it for a moment before, in a sane and calm manner, freaking out.
Inside Team ENDD's room, Zade and Weiss were snuggled in Zade's bed. Weiss pressed her head against Zade's chest, while he buried his face in her hair.
"Thank you Zade." Weiss said, trying to push herself closer to him.
"Of course darling." Zade answered. "I'm just happy I got there in time." Weiss chuckled.
"So we're married now." Weiss stated, happily.
"Yeah. Wanna consummate?" Zade asked slyly.
"No you massive perv. Good to sleep." Weiss answered.
"Yes dear." Zade answered, wrapping his arms around her and falling asleep in her hair.
