Atlas, Capital
It was a stormy night in the capital. Guards roamed the streets looking for any signs of trouble or mayhem. For newcomers or foreigners, this would be strange and a bit creepy. But for the people of Atlas, to them it's like their nightlight. Keeping them safe so they don't need to worry about the world.
But along the tops of the building was something that hasn't been seen in a long time. This figure seemed female as she raced in the skies above, heading towards her destination. She smirked as she found herself in the Head Capital House of Atlas. She chuckled to herself as she went through the vents.
After a bit of maneuvering she finally got past its security lines. But she wasn't out of the woods yet as she opened the crate to her prize. There sitting in a glass case in the middle of what seems to the tourist attractions were that of several priceless gems, all on full display.
She got out her equipment as she slowly descended upon the display. While some rookies or experts would use a special spray to find the hidden inferred lights, she on the other hand could see them more clearly than that of anyone else.
After she moved around the lights, she finally came across her prize. She smirked as she quickly installed a fake Scroll to bypass the system. And after a few seconds it opened for her, she of course was a slippery girl. Switching them with fakes as she crawled back up, easily making her escape.
But once out of the Capital House, her real Scroll lit up, showing new details for a new mission. Her brow raised slightly as it only showed a picture of an armored warrior, wearing a hoodie with his bright orange face plastered upon the mask. "Well then… This is new? But! Nothing I cannot handle.." She smirked as she raced off towards her next target area. Beacon Academy.
Vale
Out near a warehouse, several shots can be heard. At first it almost sounded like people just making a shooting range. But if you get closer, it then started more sporadic. As if whoever was shooting was in a panic?
"RUN!" Shouted out someone.
More gunshots can be heard as it then looks like a small group of White Fang are running… But from something? Each one had a fearful look on their face. As if they saw the devil himself as they tried to make it to their airship to escape.
But in a single instant, a slash from a blade can be heard as the airship slowly departs before exploding. Stopping the rest of this group of the White Fang from leaving while the ones inside were clearly dead. Blood, and shrapnel filled their bodies.
The ones who were alive shouted in fear as they started to spread out…. Which was the worst mistake they could ever make… As one that looks like a newbie runs and hides into a small beaten up barrel, he can hear new gunshots and blade slashes as he hears the wails and screams of his other teammates. He cowers in fear as he pulls out his scroll contacting Roman.
"Ugh.. this better be good recruit…" He groaned as he appeared on screen.
"I-It's here!" He panicked, looking around.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Is it Junior again? Look, I told him it wasn't my fau-"
Before he can finish, a black and blue arm punched through the barrel and pulled the recruit out. He was facing a two-horned face with menacing black eyes and blue 'skin'. The recruit screamed as the figure showed the newbie to the camera before a familiar "snapping" sound can be heard as he dropped him.
"So…. The rumors about you are true… Blue Devil" He commented, anger in his voice.
The figure looked down. "Be lucky… cause you will be next."
"Ohh! You got me shaking in my tighty whities…." He taunted as the screen went black. Roman growled in anger as he tossed his scroll to the ground.
Meanwhile back where this "Blue Devil" was, he sighed heavily as he looked down at the ground, seeing today's paper. He picked it up as he saw the headlines.
"CRYSTAL ARROW STRIKES AGAIN! THIEF OR SPIRIT?!"
"Another heist…" He muttered. His thoughts go to either going after Roman or the Crystal Arrow. If it's a 'spirit' then he needs to know. Crushing the paper, he walked away, leaving until he saw a coffin in a broken crate. He stared at it for a moment before he approached it. Inside of it was a small Ankh, covered in gold, and other priceless gems. On the broken coffin had the words "Tutankhamun Ankh for Vale's History Museum" plastered all over it.
He placed his hand over it before doing what seems to be a hand sign, a blue eye appearing over the coffin. Once complete, a ghost appeared in front of him. It had the design of an Egyptian Prince as the color was teal along with it piercing teal eyes. "Lend me your strength. Only the strong can overcome the weak." He said to it. It nodded to him as it flew into his belt, what came out was what looks like a new Eyecon with the Number '11' on it.
But that wasn't all as something started to ring in his pocket, he reached in and brought out his scroll, the only thing showing on it was a armored warrior, with a hoodie and a orange 'face' on the head as well as the location of said person. "Hm… Guess I have another thing to receive…" He muttered as he walked off, disappearing into the mist.
(Insert opening song - This Will Be The Day - RWBY Vol.1 Opening)
The start first starts off with a guitar strumming a bit before the lyrics start.
[They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child]
The screen shifts to Cody sitting upon a rooftop in the middle of the night. He sits their as he looks at the Ore Eyecon in his hand.
[Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild]
Something then goes amiss as Cody quickly looks up to see a fire outbreak near by. He then smirks as he jumps off of the roof.
[Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour.]
The title card then appears as it shines a bit before shifting down after Cody.
[The dream that you've always dreamed is, Suddenly about to flower]
As Cody runs through the road, he passes by a single rose in a pot, a snowflake in a store, a cat in an alley way, and finally a single ember flicker from a window of an occupied house.
[We are lightning]
Once he reaches the area, four shadows appear above him. Cody stops to see the shadows land in front of him.
[Straying from the thunder, Miracles of ancient wonder]
In front of him were Team Rwby smiling at him. Cody then smiles back as he grabs the lever of the Ghost Driver on his waist and pushes it in to don on the Ghost Damashii.
[This will be the day we've waited for, This will be the day we open up the door]
Fight then breaks out as Cody and Team Rwby are fighting against the Grimm and the Ganma as they class h it out together.
[I don't wanna hear your absolution, Hope you're ready for a revolution]
As they fight them, Team JNPR drop down to assist them as they battle some more highly evolved Ganma.
[Welcome to a world of new solutions, Welcome to a world of bloody evolution]
As both teams fight their enemies, Roman is standing on a roof near by, watching them fight along with Alan and his benefactor as they grin from ear to ear about some special plan they have in-stored for them all.
[In time-your heart will open minds]
As the fight continues, the teams are surrounded by Ganma and Grimm as they approach them all. And out from the distance is Ozpin watching them all along with Sennin as he smiles and offers them some power.
[A story will be told , And victory is in a simple soul]
Energy flows into Cody, Team RWBY and JNPR. They all then nod at each other as Cody activates his OmegaDrive. They all then jump at the enemies, delivering their own special attack as Cody flies at the screen with a rider kick, smashing through and showing the title card one last time.
Another day arrives in Beacon as this time school was out! Well… not by much. Everyone was given an assignment about a subject. They were told they could do anything subject they wanted so it was up to them. And today Team Rwby and Cody walked around, trying to find something that could work for them all? So far, they all tried a new idea, but it each one was unanimously rejected by a majority vote.
"Ugh… School work sucks… Why does everything have to be complicated?" Ruby complained as most of her ideas were the ones rejected the most.
"Oh, quit your whining Ruby. They say this helps build character." Weiss nodded.
"Sounds to me like it helps build boasting and BS all over…" Cody whispered, causing Ruby to giggle loudly.
"What was that you two?" Weiss questioned, her hair flowing around like a snake from her anger as the two just whistled and ignored her.
"Well, what can we do? Most of these subjects are already covered, or just bland…" Blake stated.
"We could always just shadow some cops and find some good stuff." Yang grinned happily.
"Uh… I rather not be a criminal, thank you very much…" Cody retorted.
"Speaking of which…" Weiss muttered, flipping through the paper. "You guys should see this." she placed a newspaper in front of the group as they saw the title.
THE BLUE DEVIL STRIKES THE WHITE FANG AGAIN!
"The Blue Devil?" Cody and Ruby asked, confused on it. While Blake turned her head away from it.
"There's been a lot of rumors to this… person." Weiss informed. "Criminals and the White Fang operations have been halted because of him. The only thing that happens is when he strikes, he leaves behind either traumatized criminals or… dead bodies. One against all."
"Yeah.. I heard about him too. They say, he was a human once before making a contract with the devil himself… But something went wrong and he was cursed… And to this day he attacks anyone he finds evil, hoping his sin will be washed away by the blood of his victims…" Yang said softly, while holding up a flashlight to her face.
Ruby hid behind Weiss, shaking in fear as Blake was still looking away. "Eh, I don't know.. This seems a bit too farfetched…" Cody stated, not really believing in the stories spite being a literal ghost right now.
"If you don't believe, tell that to some of the airships he cut down and the scarred criminals."
"Easy, probably some of their gunfire hit the tanks or something? Sides, this seems more like a ghost story than fact…" Cody said but a new article on the paper caught his eye as he looked at it. "Crystal Arrow? Who's that?" He asked out loud.
"Oh that… Just some super thief… Bet it's just some Faunus trying to make it big…" Weiss huffed. Just hearing that made Blake tighten her book a bit.
"Hmm… Thief… Thief… Thats it!" Cody shouted out with glee, causing the girl to look at him confused. "What if we did a story about Robin Hood?" He asked them.
"Robin Hood? The Famous Faunus Thief?" Blake asked him, somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, I heard that they brought something that historians believe to be his bow and arrow. We can study a bit from that! Plus, I actually like his ideals of taking from people who don't deserve their fortune and hands it to ones who need it" He said to them, causing the others to think it over a bit.
"Well, it is a stretch, but it sounds good." Blake said with a slight smile on her face.
"But, what about The Blue Devil? Plus I even thought you would agree with a Faunus story..." Weiss questioned, frowning.
"Maybe next time Weiss? Sides, it better than anything we had so far." Yang patted her shoulder as they started to head out. But as they did a odd breeze passed over, causing Cody to stop and look around.
"Cody, what's up?" Ruby asked him, seeing the Rider looking around the area.
"I… Thought I felt someone watching us?" He answered her. But he just shrugged. "Eh, never mind…" He said before following the others to the museum.
From the distance, a black and blue armored figure was watching them from the shadows. He huffed from what he heard what the young man said. His ideals were weak to him. He watched the group more before jumping across the rooftops, his armor blending in the darkness. He stopped when he felt someone following. The same person that followed him for the past day. He hated the fact that people are searching for the 'Blue Devil'. The only thing he cared about was stopping the criminals and the White Fang like he has for weeks now. Leaving behind either scarred criminals, unwilling to talk about the events or dead bodies. Hence his reputation and nickname, Blue Devil.
"You got a lot of nerve following me..." The armored figure growled.
No one has ever followed the Blue Devil and lived to tell the tale.
"I'm only doing what Professor Ozpin asked. He really believes you can do wonders at Beacon. Please just consider it? We'll even help you search for what you need as well. One of our students is doing the same thi-"
"That student is weak. His ideals and beliefs are as well." the figure shot back. "I don't need help from anyone. I find as I fight. People do nothing but cower, letting criminals do their bidding. The school isn't for me. It's nothing to me."
"Even if…. Miss Schnee is there? You wouldn't go?"
The figure turned to this messenger, already showing signs of anger just from his armor glowing. "No one knows of that attack that I stopped." he growled, a weapon appearing in his hand what looks to be a rifle but a snake crawled onto it, forming a sickle. "Leave… now."
The messenger panicked in fear as he ran away, scared for his life. As he left, some old memories started to pop up… including a familiar smile appear in his head.
A voice whispered out to him, only for him to look down. "I need my peace..." he made the weapon disappear and left.
Meanwhile, the gang walked into the History Museum, everyone having an awe expression as they followed the tour guide towards the featuring exhibit for today. A lot of it interested 3 of the group, while Yang was bored out of her mind but Ruby on the other hand looked at the old weapons on display.
"These look so cool!" Ruby said, excited. As she looks at the weapons, she saw what they were looking for. "There it is! Robin Hood's bow and arrow!"
Both her and Cody rushed over to it, each one having a different smile to their face. While Cody's was excitement, Ruby's looked more fangirl than anything. "So, this is the supposed Robin Hood's bow and arrow? Looks like mere junk to me…" Weiss complained as the others followed them.
Ruby had a look of shock as she turned to Weiss. "What? 'Mere Junk'? Weiss, this is the bow that inspired so many generations!" Ruby stated.
"Yeah, many generations of thieves…." She huffed.
"It's not just thieves Weiss. It also inspired some people to do good and give what they owe to the misfortunate. As well as help inspire people to use the bow either for sport or for slaying Grimm. It's not just about this story that made them want to do it, it's about the ideals he gave to the world." Cody explained as he turned to them.
"Wow, never took you for as a history nerd." Yang smirked.
"Heh, not entirely. I just find what they left for the future worthwhile." Cody responded with a smile as he took out his notebook and started to write a few things down. As he did, he quickly stopped before taking out Ore, smiling down at it. 'I wonder if I could leave such a mark?' He thought to himself.
As that happened, the alarm went off as sprinklers started to spray all over the guests. Everyone was shocked at why the system went off like this? Suddenly, as Cody looked up, a blur passed by distracting him for a moment. "What the heck was that?" He muttered as he got to dry cover along with the others. The figure seemed to be female in body design, but her attire was different. It was mostly green and brown with a few crystals scattered around, resembling an arrow. As well as what looks like to be feathers poking out from her arms and head.
'Wait… is that this Crystal Arrow the news keeps talking about?' Cody thought to himself.
The figure jumped down, looking at the bow and arrow of Robin Hood. With a push of the person's hand, the glass shattered into pieces as it something caused it to break. He took notice of what is next to the figure. It had a fur cloak over its chest with a bull skull on its left shoulder. It's eyes were blue but with black skin, wearing a red 'hat' judging from how it was wearing it. It was also carrying an tomahawk by its side. "Good, now you know what to do." It said to the figure.
"Of course.." The other figure smirked as it placed a scroll on its security system, the display opened up as the figure grabbed the bow and arrow and started to make its getaway.
"H-Hey! Hold up! Cody shouted out as he raced off after them. The girls took notice as they followed after him, wondering where he's going?
The two figures ran as some of the security attempted to stop the thief but were pushed away by an invisible force, which was the axe wielding figure that they couldn't see except Cody.
"A Ganma? Ugh… And just when I thought I was done with you all…" He complained as he strapped on the driver before pulling out Ore. He then pressed on it as he placed it in the driver.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!
The Ore Damashii then flew out of the driver, flying around him as it also did a dance..
"Henshin!" He yelled out as he pushed in the lever.
KAIGAN! ORE! LET'S GO!
KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
GO-GO-GO-GO!
The black armor formed on Cody as Ore placed itself onto him, completing the change. He flipped down the hood as he withdrew the GanGanSaber before rushing in, striking at the Ganma. As he changed the girls noticed he disappeared as they could only see a few sparks.
"Did he disappear again? Do we have anymore of that junk?" Yang asked to which the others just shook their heads.
"Aw.. I really wanna see the cute ghost again…" Ruby complained.
"More importantly, we can't help him…." Weiss added on.
"Should we head back and see if the teachers have any of that stuff?" Blake asked. But suddenly, something crawled up on Yang's shoulder, causing Ruby to freak out a bit.
"GAH! What is that?!" She yelled out, pointing to her sister's shoulder.
On Yang's shoulder was what looked like a robotic spider, but the legs had what appear to be a lantern design. It jumped up before Yang catching it, in her hands now was what appeared to be a hightech lantern. "Well… this is new?" She said.
The lantern glowed a bit a light particles flew out of the item, as it did it flew over to where Cody disappeared, but suddenly the bits of lit started to show Cody along with the Ganma he was fighting. The girls looked down at the device as it quickly morphed back into its spider mode. "Well, I guess we have something to see him now outside of the school? Blake mentioned.
The figure took notice of Cody and remembered the photo. "I need what he has..." The figure said to themself. "Alright." He laughed before swinging his axe down at Cody.
Cody wailed out in pain before the Ganma struck him again, causing the rider to quickly disperse back into civilian mode as he Ore Eyecon falls out of the driver near by.
The thief was about to grab it until the sound of glass from a window broke through. What seemed like time that slowed down, the newcomer got up, the sprinklers dropping onto his armor. He was wearing a black hoodie with blue trimmings over his torso. Under it was black armor with blue lines on his forearms, chest, and legs, resembling bones. His chest had a symbol, similar to Cody's only to have two 'flares' on it. The most menacing feature about the figure was his face. He had a black helmet with a full blue visor with black 'eyes' and 'teeth'. Along with that were two horns on his head.
The others stopped moving upon seeing the newcomer. While Ruby and Yang both had a surprised look, Blake had one of pure fear while Weiss had one of shock yet a happy look as some tear formed around her eyes.
'I-It… It is him….' She thought to herself, her hands covering her mouth.
The Ganma growled as it looked at the newcomer. "And who are you huh?! Don't get in my-" the newcomer punched the Ganma in the chest, sending it through the wall.
"I go by names… to the criminals, the Blue Devil…" He answered. His tone sounded serious yet young. He brought his hand to his waist that glowed as they all saw… A Ghost Driver!?
"WHAT?!" They all shouted in unision.
"He has the same belt as Cody?" Yang gasped.
"Does.. that mean he's a good guy too?" Ruby asked as Cody slowly got up, glaring at this newcomer.
"Just who are-"
The Blue Devil pushed Cody away as he went after the thief. In his hand was a blue rifle but they saw a snake crawling on it, forming a sickle. "Drop. That. Eyecon." He warned the thief. "Hehe, sorry handsome, But no can do… Later.." From what it sounds like, it seemed this thief was a female as she dropped a flashbbang, making her escape along with Ore and the Bow.
"No!" He shouted out as he stood back up and took out Edison, but as he did, it caught the newcomers attention quickly.
"Edison, inventor of electricity." The Blue Devil recognized the symbol, his stance changing into that of a reaper. "Hand it over…"
Cody flinched as he growled. "Sorry bud… But no way am I handing you this…" He grabbed his driver as he lifted it up, ready to strap it on and fight.
The Blue Devil's snake detached before his rifle was aimed at the Eyecon and released a quick shot. "Cobra." The cobra moved towards the Eyecon and grabbed it, but only after it knocked Cody back a bit, before returning it to its master. "Your ideals are weak. Only strength can overcome ideals." He said, turning away.
"Give that back!" Cody shouted as he rushed over before grabbing ahold of his shoulder.
The Blue Devil elbowed Cody before kicking him away. "No." He answered like it was his only answer. "Edison belongs to me now…" He aimed his rifle at the Rider. Cody growled as he dodged the first shot before gripping his sword before trying to cut down this new enemy. The Blue Devil dodged each swing before using the blunt end of the rifle to Cody's stomach then sweeping him off his feet. The Cobra attaching to the rifle as the newcomer got into a stance.
Cody's eyes widen as he felt a sharp cut, slicing his flesh as he yells out in pain, dropping back to the ground, holding his wound. "Weak and pathetic… Like every other that wanted me dead." He raised the sickle in the air. "Stay out of my Hunt." But before he could try another attack, Weiss stepped in between them, holding her hands out in defense of her teammate. "W-Weiss?" Cody gritted.
The Blue Devil stared at her, seeing the small glimpse of tears in her eyes. He gripped his sickle tightly before making it vanish. He quickly ran towards the window before giving a glance at the group then at Weiss. He jumped out as the sound of sirens were near.
After some questions and some patching up thanks to a passing by ambulance, the others sat out of the museum, thinking things through. "Well, there goes the assignment…" Yang said, seemingly happy on losing it out on it.
"But… Cody got hurt! And his Eyecon was stolen!" Ruby said worried, looking at the Rider who as looking down, fist trembling.
"I need to find that thief…." He growled.
"What about the other guy…? The Blue Devil?" Ruby added.
"It's suicide…" Blake said, holding her arm as she slightly shook in fear.
"I'll find him once I get Ore back… That comes first.." Cody said as he slowly got back up.
"Cody that … That person isn't someone!" Blake warned, trying to hold back the fear from seeing the Blue Devil. "You do realize his reputation? He left many of the White Fang even criminals in fear. He killed those that are in his way! If it wasn't for Weiss you would have been killed!"
"You don't understand Blake.. I need those Eyecons!" He shouted at her.
"Speaking of Weiss…" Yang looked at the said heiress. "How come he didn't harm you?"
"It's… complicated…" Weiss replied, looking down.
Cody then stood back up as he began to walk off from the group, causing the others to chase after him and hold him back. "Let me go! I need to get those Eyecon's back!" He shouted at them, only Yang being the only one to hold him back.
"Cody, chasing after them won't solve your answers. You need to calm down and think." Yang pleaded. "Your Eyecon that the thief stole is the main thing we need to worry about. I know whoever he is has the Edison Eyecon but this won't solve anything if you keep being like this."
"I need them if I want my life back!" He shouted as he glared at them, but his eyes widen as he covered his mouth quickly.
"Your life back…? Cody what are you talking about?" Ruby asked.
"Is there something you aren't telling us?" Yang added, her eyes narrowed.
Cody looked away as he quickly disappeared from them, causing them to start looking around for him. "Where did he?" Yang asked as Weiss grabbed the spider before the light showered around them, form the distance they then can see Cody running away from them all. "Cody wait!" Ruby shouted as they all chased after him.
In Beacon, Ozpin was informed of the incident in the museum. He frowned to at the footage as he sees him fighting his students, but is more surprised as to why he's in this city for once?
The Blue Devil was here in Vale, after the same thing Cody is. "Hmm… This will cause more problems than I thought it would…." He said to himself as he stood up. He reached in his desk and pulled out a rolled up, worn down paper as he walked out of his office, and towards where the Blue Devil is at.
Meanwhile on one of the rooftops, the Blue Devil looked at Edison carefully, but as he did a faint image of Weiss appeared in his mind, causing him to shake it off. "Why did I have to save that heiress…" He growled to himself. He pocketed the Eyecon before looking at the city.
"So, still haven't accepted my offer?" Said a voice. Behind him stood Ozpin, holding the old papers in his hands.
"Why should I?" He huffed. "It's weak…" A blue symbol appearing on his waist. "What made you have the nerve to find me?"
Ozpin had a small smile appear before unrolling one of the papers, revealing it to be a newspaper. "I've seen only a certain family able to fight like that. A method taught to the Sa-"
"Never. Speak. Of that day." The armor glowed. "I'm no longer that kid of that family. He's gone, end of story."
"Only if you let it… I'm here to still offer you a place at the school… And I believe I have 'one thing' that you will need… But only if you accept my offer to join the school." Ozpin said as he brought out another old, worn out paper, revealing it to be a signature by none other than "Oda Nobunaga"
"Nobunaga…" He recognized. "The man who unified Vale…"
"You are quite correct… And I will let you have this.. But only if you join the school… Otherwise I'll give to that other Rider." Ozpin stated as he rolled it up gently as he could.
The Blue Devil growled until a small pink glow occurred by his pocket. "You can't… It's my problem…" He muttered. It glowed again before he sighed heavily. "Fine…" he looked at Ozpin. "I… I'll accept…"
Ozpin smiled as he handed him the paper as it glowed slightly. He then made the 'Eye' seal as a new figure emerges from it. It looked like a royal robe, mostly purple. It also had a long sleeves with some frills at the end as well as a hair top with its piercing purple eyes. It floated down as it looked upon the Blue Devil.
"Lend me your strength, Nobunaga." He stated. "The power to unify our strength as one." It nodded as it flew into his belt, becoming another Eyecon with the number "12" on it.
"I shall see you in school tomorrow.." Ozpin smiled as he walked away.
Meanwhile, Ruby and the others caught up to Cody who was leaning against a tree, panting and holding his chest, still tender from the wound and stitches. "W-Why… can't you four just… let it go?" He panted heavily, almost wheezing. "I-I'm fine…."
"Cody you gotta tell us why you want those Eyecons?" Ruby pleaded. "What did you mean to wanting your life back?"
Cody just remained quiet until Yurusen popped into view. "You might as well tell them Cody… It won't hurt to know…." He said to him. Ruby squealed as she grabbed and hugged Yurusen, but this time, he didn't even try anything, just letting her hug him. She noticed quickly as she let go, as Yurusen flew up to Cody. After a few moments he took a quick breath.
"To… tell you the truth… I'm just scared to tell you all it…." Cody said softly to them, still keeping his head lowered.
"Please Cody?" Ruby pleased.
He sighed as he took off his hoodie before sliding his shirt down, to show them. On his shoulder was two white bite marks followed by a black marks coursing in his veins, but only by a bit. And it seemed to be spreading very slowly. "About a month ago… I came across something that shouldn't exist… It was… some sort of Grimm… From what I learned, it was a special kind of Grimm.. One of 13…. Sealed away eons ago…. It somewhat reawakened…. And… It killed me…" Cody started to explain. "I was able to slightly revive, thanks to Senin.. A old hermit who gave me this belt… But he said I need to collect the 15 Luminary Eyecons… Special items that when fully gathered… Can grant me one wish… But I have only 99 days to find them… before the venom spreads fully and… ends my existence… And starting today… I only have 76 days left… So you see… I can't afford to lose those Eyecon's… otherwise… I'm dead…"
They were shocked upon hearing the revelation. Their teammate was an actual living ghost. "Cody…" Ruby muttered.
"Now… you know…. The reason why I avoided many things with you all.. Was to keep this a secret…" He said softly, looking away from them. But as he did Yang walked up before punching him and sending him into a small crater.
"Y-Yang?!" Ruby exclaimed, confused.
"You should have told us before Cody! Why didn't you trust us!?" Yang demanded.
"I… I was… afraid to tell you? I was believing that… you wouldn't believe in my tale…" He said confused.
Yang cracked her knuckles causing the latter to flinch. Once done she sighs. "Cody, we're your teammates and friends. Why wouldn't we trust in what you said? We maybe only at this for a short time, but we would follow you no matter what. Just like you do for us." Yang said as she kneeled down and placed her hand on his shoulder. "We are here to help you out whenever you need it. We are a team after all."
"I… I... " He sighed. "I'm sorry for not telling you…. Please… Help me get them back?" He asked, looking up at them.
"Of course we'll help." Ruby smiled.
"We just have to find out where that thief went?" Blake stated.
"Wait, the attire the thief was wearing. Doesn't it remind you of anyone?" Weiss realized. The others were confused, making her sigh in irritation. "Do you remember Robin Hood's partner, Little John?"
"Yeah, what about him Weiss? What does that have to do with this?" She asked.
"I'm saying that this thief is doing the same things Little John does. And remember who Little John was?"
Blake was the one answer it. "A Faunus." She answered. "Then that means that the Crystal Arrow is a Faunus."
"A Faunus huh? Hmm… Say Weiss, is there any way to tell how many Faunus comes to visit this town on a daily basis?" Ruby asked her.
"We could check the Atlas Communication Towers and figure that out. Why?" She asked.
"Hehe, easy. Whatever one's just came in recently is probably Crystal Arrow! And since we know it's a Female, our search can be cut down to half!" She beamed out.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find out!" Yang declared. The others cheered along with Cody before he cringed in pain after a long chase. Yang sighs before helping him up as they head towards the communication tower.
As they reached the tower, they were somehow able to access the top floor, only meant for reserved people. "Geez Weiss, can you gloat anymore?" Yang smirked.
"Well, at least I can do something…" She huffed as they walked over to one of the empty terminals. As she placed her scroll on it, the screen lite up as the data pours in. "Alright, we know it's a Faunus.. And seems she was ready so it's safe to assume she's been here for awhile.. " Weiss stated as she began typing away.
"It's most likely that it's been at least a week. Even she would have a tough time cracking the code for the museum…" Blake added on.
Cody then thought back to her appearance as he began to ponder. "I think her Faunus species is that of a bird… Try typing in how many female bird Faunus's came here?" Cody asked as Weiss typed it in.
What showed up was 4 females who were Faunus, bird species and came around the past week. But only two stayed while the last two were gone last night. "Alright, we have two females that could be our thief… We'll split up and question them for the truth!" Ruby shouted out as the others cheered with her.
Meanwhile in Ozpin's office, he was preparing papers for the newest student to attend Beacon..
"Ozpin."
He looked up and saw the Blue Devil, arms crossed as Glynda was behind him, her crop at the ready.
"Yes? What is it Glynda?" He asked her, sipping some coffee.
"Explain why… he's here." She gestured to the armored person.
"He's going to be the new addition to Team JNPR. I thought that was already clear?" He said casually.
"Wait, I'm already being added to part of a Team?" He asked, surprised by this info. "You told me I would be attending, not being in a team."
"Yes. I believe JNPR would be very beneficial to you. Their room has already been customized for you to be in there as well." Ozpin stated as he continued his work in enrolling him. "And to attend this school, students must be in teams. No single work until you graduate."
His armor glowed upon reacting to his anger with Glynda getting prepared to stop him. "Axel stop!" Shouted out a voice as his pocket glowed. His glow stopped as he looked at his pocket, a pink light shot out as it landed on the Ozpin's desk. Sitting there was a small object that almost looked like an eyeball, stem included. "Axel…. Please don't fight him…." The eyeball pleaded, glowing a faint pink.
The person now named Axel's breathing slowed before calming down. Both Glynda and Ozpin were shocked to see this item talk. "Hello there? Who are you?" Ozpin asked calmly, curious on this thing.
It floated to them. "I'm his little sister…"
'His sister?' Glynda thought, surprised.
"My I know you name too? If it's not too much trouble miss." Ozpin smiled as the eyeball looked at him.
"Luna… Luna Saber." She answered.
Ozpin looked at the two, now seeing that these are the remaining members of the Saber family. 'I see it clearly now..' Ozpin thought to himself. "I see…. But yes Axel. You will be apart of a Team until you graduate. Then you may go off on your own. Understood?" He said.
The armored Axel looked at each one before sighing heavily. "Fine…"
"Good. But before you go, may I know two things? The first is what you look like, as well… As what happened to you two?" Ozpin asked him.
Axel looked at him before removing the Eyecon on his belt, his armor disappearing. It revealed a young man who looks to be a year older than Cody with black hair that is somewhat messy yet sleek look to it. His face almost resembled Kirito from SAO 2 but from New ALO and having dark blue eyes. He was wearing a black jacket with his left forearm having pieces of armor on it. Under it was a dark blue shirt that had a symbol of a sword going over two wings, a moon behind it. He was also wearing black pants with a wave like design to it along with dark blue shoes.
"Alright. Sides from that... " Ozpin snaps a picture for him to put it in the file as he closed it. "Will you be able to tell us what happened to you two?" He asked.
They saw his eyes becoming dead for a moment as if whatever he went through was pure hell. "No." He answered sternly.
"Very well then… Then welcome to Beacon, Axel Saber." Ozpin greeted as he handed him his school uniform. "Classes start tomorrow at 8 am. You may walk around the school until then."
He huffed before standing up and made his way to the elevator. Once he left, Glyna looked at Ozpin
"Ozpin why are you allowing this? He killed over dozens of people, despite them being criminals and terrorists. He should be behind bars." She said.
He then stood up as he walked towards the window, looking out over Vale. "I fear a dangerous omen is coming Glynda.. More so than what we have here, already under our protection. If we wish to beat it, those two boys will need to work together… Whatever they did before, will be nothing compared to what may come for them…" He said as he looked at her. "Thus, I must extend my hand and show them the right path…."
She looked at him for a moment before she had no choice but to agree. "Alright. What about the Council when they hear about the new student?"
"We'll just tell them he has the same potential as Cody and leave it at that.. They do not need to know the other details." Ozpin then put Axel's file into one other drawers, and next to his file was what appeared to be another Eyecon, this one was blue and the number '04' on it.
Meanwhile Cody, Yang and Blake were on their way towards one of the apartment complexes to find this other Faunus on the list while Ruby and Weiss goes after the one near the docks. "Hmm.. It's big… Kinda fits with her…." Yang commented on the size of it as well as the obviousness of birds liking high places.
"Then let's catch that thief then!" Cody shouted.
"Just be careful alright? You're still not fully healed yet." Blake stated, looking at him.
"I'll try…" he smiled as they all went their separate way towards the two entrances of this complex. Cody walked up to the front desk, ringing the bell as he waits for some service. "Hello? Can I speak with someone here?"
They waited until an employee came to the front desk. Cody then brought out a picture of the other bird faunus as he pointed to it. "Excuse me, but has this woman been around lately?" He asked the clerk.
The clerk looked at the photo for a moment before nodding. "She actually came here earlier." He answered. "Did she do something wrong?"
"We just need to talk to her. Can we go into her room?" Cody asked.
"She's at the top floor. Her room will be the last one on your right." He said, pointing at the elevator.
"Thank you." They all then went into the elevator as they started to make their way up to the top floor. Once arrived, they then head towards the last room on the right as they noticed it was locked.
"Any ideas?" Yang asked.
"If you're thinking about busting down the door, no." Blake answered.
Cody just smirked. "Relax, I got this easily." He gloated as he fixed his hoodie. Blake and Yang though looked at him with a deadpanned look. "What? It's true. I can handle this without breaking it down."
"By all means go ahead." Yang insisted as she rolled her eyes.
Cody huffed as he literally walked through the door, surprising them both. A few clicks on the inside can be heard as it opens up, Cody bowing to them as he greets them. "Welcome Ladies." He smirked.
"Show off." Yang said with a grin before they entered the room.
"You asked for it." He replied as they closed the door. Inside was a very nicely made room, sides a few things catered to her species type. "Alright, let's look for Ore." He said as they split up around the room, looking for the Eyecon.
Cody was searching for his Eyecon throughout the room. However he heard snoring, prompting him to remain still. Ever so slowly, he peeked through the door and saw the same Ganma from before but… sleeping while snoring. He gulped as he quietly tiptoed into see if it was here? Doing his best not to disturb the Ganma.
He looked by the table and noticed his Ore in a glass case, preserving it. However it was the table that the Ganma was resting against. 'Let's hope this power can help…' He thought to himself. He concentrated as he glowed slightly before he started to float up a bit. He smiled as he gently floated over to the case as he reached inside it and grabbed it. He then yanked it away as he floated back down to the ground, enough distance from the sleeping enemy.
He looked at the Ganma then at his Eyecon and smiled, glad that he got it back. Now he has to find the bow and arrow of Robin Hood and return it. He walked back out as he looked around for Yang and Blake, seeing if they have it?
"Yang? Blake? Where are you two?" He said, trying to not alert the thief or the Ganma that was resting.
"Oh, they're over here…." Called out the voice. Cody turned towards the doorway to see the thief having both of them, knife to neck. Cody gritted as he sees this. He knew they would be fine, but he didn't want to take any chances just in case.
"Let them go Crystal…" He demanded.
"I won't until you hand over that thing you are holding." She demanded.
"Why? This isn't import-"
"Don't lie to me! I know that thing has the ability grant any wish. Now hand it over!" She shouted, thus waking up the Ganma.
The Ganma looked at the table then at the empty doorway. He marched out of the room until he saw Cody. "You!" He growled.
Cody groaned. "Just great…. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this…" He grimaced before looking back at Crystal. "Look, I hate to break it to you, but This Eyecon cannot grant a wish…" He said to her.
"Liar! He said it can if I get it! I won't give up to retrieve it!" She shouted. "That is the only way for me to help the other Faunus get the money they need!"
"Just like Robin Hood.." Blake muttered.
"Wait… so…. You're not doing this just for power? Or grand scheme?" Cody asked her, surprised by this.
"All I wanted was to help the other Faunus get what they need to get through with their lives." She said. "And having this power, I can do what I can to help them!"
The Ganma laughed, seeing how she thinks she was given power to help but doesn't realize the truth.
"Please… Just let me have this.. I need it… Just so, I can help them… And live up my reputation… As the descendant of Robin Hood himself." She pleaded.
"But is this what he would have wanted?" Cody questioned. "Don't you recall that Robin Hood steals from the rich to help the poor? He wouldn't do the stuff you have done to help the poor." He pointed at the bow and arrow. "Do you really want him to be disappointed to what you have done?"
Crystal flinched at this as she weakly let go of the knife. "I… I was… I was doing that… Taking down corrupt officials… and giving the people…. What they needed…. But.. when I heard of this… I.. I knew I had to take the chance.." She said softly.
The Ganma approached Crystal, "This is what he wanted. Don't let the boy lie to get through you. Even Robin Hood never gave up even in the most dire situations like this." He lied. "The power you were given is a gift. Make Robin Hood proud with your newfound power."
"Don't listen to him! He's lying to you. Even if you used this 'newfound power' what else will it bring? You'll be running all your life, unable to help them!" Cody shouted out. The mechanical spider jumped onto his shoulder, casting out particles of light, making the Ganma visible.
"Oi!" He shouted to the Rider.
"That isn't power, Crystal!" He pointed at the Ganma. "It's just another corrupt ideal. Fooling you to believe you had this all yourself."
Crystal stood back a bit before looking at her hands. "I…" She spoke out.
"If you want true justice then do what Robin Hood would have done! Use what you have to help those that are poor! Your actions are the arrow and you are its bow."
Suddenly, the cabinet near by started to glow slightly, this caught their attentions as Cody opened it up. Inside was the Bow and Arrow, but it was glowing. 'This glow…' He thought to himself.
"Oh no you don't!" The Ganma shouted as he rushed towards Cody. But luckily enough the Spider Lantern jumped at it, attacking him before he could reach the item.
Cody smiled as he quickly made the 'Eye' seal. What came out was a green hoodie with a golden feather on the rim. It had lots of frills around it as it made a pose of that of an archer. He then quickly strapped on the Driver as he looked up at the Damashii. "Please, help me. Let me become your arrow, protecting those from the forces who want to erase the ideals of the youth." Cody said to it.
It nodded to him before floating into his belt. In Cody's waiting hand was a new Eyecon that was green on the back and top with the number '03' on it. "Another Luminary... " Cody said softly as Condor flew in to knock the Ganma out the window.
Cody turned to the three as he looked at Crystal who was now on her knees. "Can I leave it to you two to help her out?" He asked them. The two nodded before Cody went after the Ganma, by jumping out after it.
The Ganma continue its retreat as it was running through the park. However the Condor flew to it, pecking on its head. "Hey stop that!" It demanded, swinging its tomahawk around to get rid of the bird.
"Then how about me?" Cody asked as he swung his sword at the Ganam, causing its black blood to spew from the small cut.
"You brat!" He roared, a red shield appearing in front of him as the Ganma began to throw its axes at him.
"WOAH!" Cody quickly dodged it as he changed the weapon into its gun mode as he open fired at it. However each shot was being blocked by the red shield that was protecting the Ganma as it throws its tomahawks at him.
'Damn it… And I can't use Edison now to get past that thing….' Cody growled in his thoughts.
Yurusen suddenly appeared from a puff of smoke. "You idiot, don't you remember what you learned? Even in the most fortified defenses, there's always…"
"An opening." Cody realized. He continued to evade the tomahawks, looking at the Ganma. As if time slowed down, he saw a small hole in the shield the moment it threw its axe before going back up to allow it to grab another tomahawk. 'And there it is!' He shouted in his head. He then opened up the driver as he took out the new one. "Robin Hood… Ikouze!" He then pressed on it as the number '03' showed up. He then placed it in as he closed the driver.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!
The Robin Hood Damashii then flew out of the driver, doing its pose as it started to fly around him.
"Henshin!" He yelled out as he pushed in the lever.
KAIGAN! ROBIN HOOD!
HELLO! ARROW! MORI DE AOU!
Robin Hood placed itself onto Cody as the new form emerged. While not much changed once on him, he did gain a new faceplate that showed a bow and arrow, combined and pointing down. Suddenly Condor squawked as it flew over to him. Cody extended his arm with the weapon in hand the it literally deformed and reassembled into what now appears to be a mechanical bow for him.
"Oh? Now this is interesting! But no time to be in awe!" Cody said to himself as he placed the weapon near his belt.
DAI-KAIGAN!
GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA!
As the tune played, Cody grabbed where the points were at. As he did an energy version of the string appeared as he pulled it back like a bow as a green version of the Ghost Seal appears behind him. The tip of Condor glowed as Cody waited for the right moment to unleash this.
The Ganma was about to throw another tomahawk, a hole in the shield appearing which allowed Cody to have the chance. In a split second, Cody let go of the string along with pressing the button.
OMEGA-STRIKE!
One large, green energy arrow shot out of Condor as it split the axe in two before quickly entering the small weak point as it pierced the Ganma. It yelled out in pain as the Parka Ghost it had popped off before it and the Parka exploded. Only leaving an Native American like tomahawk left. Cody sighed as he took out Robin Hood and closed the driver.
OYASUMI!
He then took a deep breath before sighing slightly. While he did replace the Eyecon he lost, he still felt empty from that experience. But he snapped out of it as he felt someone placing their hand on him. He looked up to see Yang smiling at him as Blake and Crystal walked up to him.
"The thing is gone…?" Crystal asked, nervously.
"Yeah. I'm sorry you were fooled by that thing… But this Eyecon can't grant you a wish… In fact…. It holds half of my soul…" Cody mentioned to her.
"I...I'm sorry…" She deeply apologized. "He said it would have granted me a wish…"
"Crystal. Do you really need a wish? You have amazing gifts. One I'm sure Robin Hood would appreciate. But if only you use it in a way that helps everyone… Not just for the Faunus okay?" Cody said to her, smiling.
She nodded. "I guess I have to turn myself in…" She muttered before looking at the three. "Thank you…"
"Are you sure Crystal?" Blake asked her. "If you just tell them about your predicament, I'm pretty sure they won't go too hard on you.."
"I'm sure." She replied. "I have to be truthful to myself." She looked at Cody. "You said so yourself: I am the bow while my actions is the arrow." After a bit, the police came over as they took her into custody. They wave to her goodbye as they went to go meet up with Ruby and Weiss. "I do hope that they'll be easy on her at least?" Blake said to them.
"Either way, I'm more glad that I was able to convince her about her ways… I don't like it when I see people throwing away what precious time they have with their lives… I should know after all... " Cody responded, head slightly lowered until he flinches from a chop to the head. He looked around to see Yang holding her fist up.
"It will be alright Cody." Yang assured. "I'm sure you will get your life back."
For some reason, this made him feel a bit at ease as he smiled back at her and nodded.
After a bit more walking they finally reached Ruby and Weiss at the park. "So! How did it go? Did you get your Eyecon back?" Ruby asked them.
"That and more." He smirked as he not only showed them Ore again, but the new addition as well.
"It says Robin Hood!" Ruby noticed. "Doesn't that means it holds the soul of Robin Hood!" She leaned close to the Eyecon, stars in her eyes.
"Mhm. It does. Plus turns out.." Cody then looked up as Condor flew in. "He can form a new weapon for me too. A bow to be exact."
"That's so awesome!"
"Then what about the bow and arrow that the thief stole?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing that, they all being to look away awkwardly, scratching their heads or avoiding contact until both Yang and Blake pushed Cody forward. He looked back at them, but their nods made him sigh.
"Well… you see Weiss…. To make this Eyecon… It seemed to resonate with Crystal… and… by making a seal…. It turned into… Well… This…" Cody jestered to the new Eyecon as Weiss's eyes widen.
"WHAT!?" She yelled.
Cody quickly covered his ears from her scream. "Ow… Hey, don't blame me for this.." She then walked up as she jabbed his chest with her finger.
"That was a priceless item! Don't you realize the damage you have done!?" She pointed out. "What will happen now since the museum won't have it back!?"
"Um uh… I uh…." Cody looked at the others for help but they just backed away slowly.
"Turn it back…."
Cody then looked at Weiss, surprised. "Turn it back?" He questioned.
"Yes! Turn it back to the bow and arrow and hand it over to the museum!"
"I don't think I can Weiss. Once it's an Eyecon, it can't be turned back. If it could, don't you think I would've tried it with Ore and become whole again?" Cody argued back.
Her eye twitched. "Why you- you can't- ugh!," she then turned away with a huff and walked away, upset.
"At least I'm not The Blue Devil and takes things from others that could cost them their life…" Cody muttered, not realizing how loud he was with that comment.
"What did you say…?" Weiss' tone was ice cold, no pun intended.
"You heard me. If it wasn't due to that monster, I wouldn't have lost Edison!" Cody said to her, looking away.
*SMACK!*
Cody slowly touched his face as he turned to Weiss, her hand across the air, shaping that she slapped him. "What was that for Weiss?!"
"He is no monster!" She shouted.
"Weiss, just what is it with you and the Blue Devil?" Blake asked. "Don't you know what he has been doing?"
Weiss glared at her teammate. "He's not a murderer or a monster if that is what you are thinking." She countered.
"I have to agree with Blake, Weiss." Cody said. "After what happened in the museum, I wanted to know more about the Blue Devil. Don't you realize that he killed 57 criminals and members of the White Fang all together?"
"He's not a killer for Oum's Sake!" She yelled. "He saved my life! If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here!"
They were shocked from hearing the Heiress say that the Blue Devil saved her. "Please tell me you're joking, Weiss." Yang said.
"I'm not joking!" She barked.
"He actually saved you..?" Ruby asked.
"Of course he did!" She replied. "Why do you guys find this so hard to believe!?"
"Cause that bastard almost killed Cody for pete sakes!" Yang shouted out, her hair glowing slightly. "So, 'Princess', tell us why you still trust him?"
The heiress was quiet, being questioned to why she trusts the Blue Devil. It's about time her teammates know about her encounter. "It started before I attended Beacon…"
FLASHBACK (WEISS' POV)
After that singing that song, I wanted to be away for a while but how could I? No one understands me, no one.
The White Fang already caused enough problems in my life… Just why is it so hard for me to have a life like other people?
I let out a sigh before walking away. But as I did, I started to walk slowly, without realizing where I was going? And it was at that moment, I almost lost my life.
As I walked backstage, I accidentally bumped into someone, I didn't apologize since I wasn't in the mood, but as I looked up, my fear turned pale… There in front of me was the commander of the White Fang at that time. He had a devilish grin as he grabbed me and gagged my mouth. I could only scream as much as I could from being gagged as they made haste outside and towards a powerplant building.
I could hear them talking into the a scroll saying it worked.. And prepare the camera….. And guillotine…. I knew there and then I was about to be killed. Tears streamed down my face as I pray for some salvation. Someone to save me from this…..
The lights suddenly shut down, even the scroll powered down all of the sudden. "I thought you said the power was working!?" One of them shouted.
"It should! We're at a power plant! This stuff can't just be 'turned' off!" The other one replied.
"Then find out what happened!" The commander ordered. The grunt nodded before leaving the room to find out what happened.
It felt like minutes has past and their grunt didn't come back. "What's taking him so long!?"
"Ugh… I'll find him…" Complained one of the others as they went off to find their missing grunt.
After a couple more minutes, I suddenly heard gunshots, a lot of them. Then it stopped?
"Hey what's going on over there!?" The commander asked over his Scroll. "Hey answer me!"
"They won't answer you… not anymore" A voice said over the scroll.
The commander growled as he smashed his scroll before turning to me. He then brought out a knife as he walked over to me. "Start the recording…. We're doing this now…" He said coldly.
The last few grunts nodded as they all brought out their scrolls to record it. I could only whimper from my inevitability…
"Hey who are-" a voice said from the door until we heard a few punches. The door opened, the grunt who guarded the door now on the ground but he was being held by the head by an armored figure.
He was wearing a black hoodie with blue trimmings over his torso. Under it was black armor with blue lines on his forearms, chest, and legs, resembling bones. His chest had a symbol of what looks to be an eye but with two 'flares on it.
The most menacing feature about the figure was his face. He had a black helmet with a full blue visor with black 'eyes' and 'teeth'. Along with that were two horns on his head.
It was like he was a devil walking on Remnant.
"It's the Blue Devil!" The commander shouted to the grunts.
They quickly drew out their weapons as the ones with gun opened fired upon him. But it seemed to just… faze through him. Like he was some sort of mist? And for the ones who had melee weapons, they were tossed either into some boxes or out the window. He made it easy….
His hand glowed when it was near his waist and brought out a strange blue rifle. "Cobra." He called out.
A mechanical snake appeared by his shoulder before slithering to the weapon. Once it got near the barrel, it became a blade, forming a sickle. He charged forward towards the grunts as they met in the middle.
He struck the first one across the chest before slamming the next one to the ground. When one tried to strike him from behind, he elbowed the White Fang soldier before spinning around, delivering a 360 roundhouse kick, sending the grunt to one of his fallen comrades. He turned his head to the commander, weapon at the ready.
He growled in anger as he quickly placed the knife to my neck, I could even feel some blood dripping down from my neck. He was ready to kill me… And I felt so powerless, yet, I was amazed by this warrior…
"You best stand back. Otherwise her blood WILL be on your hands!" He shouted out. "Now, drop it!" He commanded.
The so-called Blue Devil was quiet before he dropped his rifle. "Now move it away from you!"
He kicked his rifle towards us, sliding across the ground. The commander laughed upon this. "So the Blue Devil is giving up now! Now I can-"
"Cobra."
The blade suddenly went back to its cobra form and lunged at the commander. It bit onto his face, causing him to release me to pry off the serpent. "Get off of me!" He wailed as he tried to slash the cobra away, but in doing so, he cut me. Giving me this scar on my eye...
The Blue Devil charged forward as he tackled the commander to the ground. He punched the commander over and over before lifting him up, the mask shattered and fear in the Faunus' eyes. "You and those of evil are weak. The strong can bring you to your knees." The Blue Devil said, his armor glowing blue.
He then gave one last punch, sending him flying out from the wall as the commander fell into a patch of debris down below. He panted slightly as he turned to me, kneeling down before untying me. He even had some first aid to patch my eye up.
But the sirens came close as he turned his head towards it. He looked back at me before handing me what looked like a white rose. He then stood up before walking towards the hole he made. "I… liked your song.." Was the only thing he said as he disappeared from my view.
Weiss presented the said item from a small chest she kept by the bookcase. It looked like it hasn't wilted at all. "Ever since then…. I believed what he stood for. He was the final straw that made me want to be a Huntress." She said softly before turning to the others. "So, for me? The reason why I trust him and believe in him, is because he saved my life and showed me what I now want to do with my life."
"So the scar…" Yang realized. "Was from that incident…?"
The heiress held the white rose close to her, as if the rose was valuable to her. "Yes… but it would have been worse if it wasn't for him…" she admitted. "That's why I keep reading the newspapers, to see if there was anything related to him."
"Weiss…" Ruby said softly. Not knowing that trauma.
"Still…" Blake muttered. "He is still a criminal.. And more importantly, thanks to him, Cody may not have a way to revive again!" Blake shouted, wanting to take her fear out on The Blue Devil.
Weiss gritted her teeth, hearing how she thinks the Blue Devil is considered a 'criminal'. She felt hurt from hearing that. Blake didn't understand the life she went through, the pain, the loneliness. Being targeted by the White Fang every day.
The Blue Devil was the reason to why she is alive! The reason what brought her to come to Beacon!
"Look… We're all tired from today and what happened… Why don't we just head back to the school and get some ice cream?" Ruby asked, trying to keep everyone together.
"I rather get my Eyecon back…" Cody muttered, still loud enough for Weiss to hear.
Having enough, Weiss walked away, very angry at her teammate. "W-Weiss!" Ruby called out.
Cody just growled as he disappeared too, leaving them as well. "Cody?" Ruby frowned as Yang and Blake placed their hands on her.
"Let's… just give them some space…. We'll see them at school tomorrow okay?" Yang said, trying to cheer Ruby up.
Ruby watched her partner from a distance. She never saw her act like this. The Blue Devil to her was her savior. Just what kind of person was this vigilante…?
