Lone Hero of Vale - Chapter 6
"To think you were already annoying, and now you discriminate too..." Link frowns
"I'm not wrong you know." Weiss kept her back turned
"Are you kidding me?" Link frowns "How dare you discriminate!" Link balled up his fists "You think all Faunus are the same? That's just stupid! And you're stupid if you think that way you know."
"How dare you-!"
"How dare I talk back to the ice queen..." Link sarcastically mumbles "So tell me, what do you think about Velvet?" Link finished his sentence with a grin as he heard Ruby and Yang quietly gasped
"Um..." Weiss put her head down
"Go ahead, say it, she's a part of the White Fang too right? She's out to get your family too? Why don't we march down to team CFVY's dorm and demand answers from Velvet right now!"
"Listen Link-!"
"No!" Link smashed his fist into the wall, and right at the same time his left eye went from blue to gold "Say it, I know that's what's on your mind..."
"Link, we'll look for her..." Ruby mumbled
"I'll help you guys..." Link nodded
"Ok." Ruby smiled
"Alright then." Link sighed and walked towards the door "Oh and Weiss..."
"Huh?" Weiss looked up
"You better hope you never have to spar against me again..." Link finished his statement and walked away, not caring about Weiss' next answer
"Wow..." Yang sighed as Ruby closed the door "He was really serious."
"Mhm." Ruby nodded
The next day
The almost complete RWBY team and Link now roamed around the streets of Vale, attempting to find Blake
"Blaaaake!"
"Blake!"
"Blaaaake, where are you?" Ruby shouted
"Blake!" Yang continued, no attempts from Link or Weiss were made
"Weeeeiss, your not helping!" Ruby frowned
"O-oh, you know who might be able to help, the police." Weiss mumbled
"Very funny..." Link whispered
"Ugh, weiss..." Ruby crossed her arms
"It was just an idea." Weiss frowned as well
"Yeah a bad one." Ruby shrugged and continued talking
"Weiss I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions."
"Yes because Weiss will totally do that..." Link mumbled
"I think, when we hear it, you'll all realize that I was right." Weiss said with a grin, not realizing who was behind her
"And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today." Penny, a very odd, energetic and weird girl, who didn't act normal, although she did look the part.
"Ah penny where did you come from!" Ruby jumped and spun in place as she, Weiss and Yang were shocked
"Hm?" Link turned back, unfazed
"Hey guys, what are you up to?" Penny said, once again with her strange communication
"Uhhh..." Ruby stalled and glanced at Yang
"We're looking for our friend Blake." Yang nodded
"Oooooh." Penny nodded "You mean the faunus girl."
"She knew?" Link questioned
"Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby narrowed her eyes
"Uhh, the cat ears." Penny pointed at her bow, which was the way blake wore her bow as well
"Wait, what cat ears? she wears a...bow."
A random tumbleweed blew across the sidewalk. who knows?
"So where is she?" Penny asked
"We don't know, she's been missing since friday." Ruby sighed
"Oh no." Penny gasped then tightly grasped Ruby by her shoulders "That's terrible. Well don't you worry Ruby my friend, I won't rest until we find your teammate."
"Ah that's really nice of you Penny, b-but we're ok, really, right guys?" Ruby looked around, Weiss and Yang were gone
"Oh, they left...em..." Link slowly walked away, only to be yanked back by Penny as the tumbleweed passed by again
"Boy it sure is windy today." Penny smiled
Link's POV
A few minutes later
"So blake is your friend?" Penny asked once more
"Agh, yes penny." Ruby said, glancing at the sky for a moment
"But you're mad at her?" Penny asked
"Yes-! Well, I'm not, Weiss is."
"Is she friends with Blake?"
"Well that's kind of up in the air right now." Ruby nodded
"Buuut why?"
"It's difficult, and a long story." I mumbled "Though nobody filled me in 100% so why would I know?"
"But to keep it short, Blake may not be who we thought she was..." Ruby slowly explained
"Is she a man!" Penny said, and not going to lie, I chuckled a bit
"No no penny she's not." Ruby quickly clarified "I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off"
"Gee I wonder why..." I blurted out, which i didn't mean to, but Weiss was really making me upset
"I don't have a lot of friends, but if i did, I would want them to talk to me about things."
"Me too." Ruby whispered then gave me a glare, what was all that about?
It was getting dark out, and still no sign of Blake, where could she be...
"Whoa..." Ruby looked up as she and penny glanced at smoke that was not that far away, whoa, an explosion occurred.
"Oh no." Ruby mumbled, because deep down, she and I knew, that surely has to be Blake.
"Well then, let's go." I said, running to the nearest building and scaled it with ease while Ruby and Penny trailed behind.
Next thing I heard, was gun shots and swords smashing together, a fight...
Blake, she and another blonde were fighting...It's Torchwick, he's that criminal that's all over the news
Torchwick had just shot down a giant crate of Schnee dust to drop onto them, which both Blake and the other guy managed to dodge, only for the guy to have Torchwick's weapon pointed at his head
"I have to help." I said then grabbed my bow which instantly morphed into a crossbow, but it seems I was late.
"Hey!" Ruby already had crescent rose out, she stared down torchwick
"Oh hello red, and look it's elf boy too, isn't it past both your bedtimes?" Torchwick said with that smirk on his face
"Ruby are these people your friends?"
"Penny get back!" Ruby demanded
"Hmph!" Torchwick took his shot and fired at Ruby, the disadvantage to the new modification on my crossbow is that it does take a while for the dust chamber to spin before picking an element, I was able to get ice but by the time it was chosen, Ruby was shot and was sent flying back
"You little s-!" I nearly lost control, and my left eye turned gold again, but tonight wasn't my night.
Penny stared down Torchwick then walked towards the edge of the building
"Penny! wait, stop!" Ruby begged
"Don't worry Ruby, i'm combat ready." Penny mumbled, and i knew those words mean business, so I knew that I shouldn't get in the way, but I should help by getting Blake and her friend out of there. So I did, jumping off the building and landing on my feet, I quickly rushed to Blake and her friend, along the way, I saw the spectacle of blade's courtesy of penny, she looked like she had telekinesis but there was something more to that girl.
"Link!" Blake said with a startled look
"Yeah yeah, come on, let's no get caught in the crossfire, yeah?." I said
"But what about Tor-!"
"Relax." I pointed out "Penny know's what she doing. Now come on." I said, grabbing Blake and dragging her away while her friend followed and formally we introduced ourselves to one another
"Hey Blake's friend, I'm Sun!"
"Likewise, I'm Link." I nodded and extended my hand. He smiled and shook my hand, but things didn't go as planned, yes the white fang and torchwick fled, but they weren't meant to flee.
"Damn him." Blake frowned
"One day." I mumbled as Ruby slowly caught up to us.
"We can't leave." Blake sighed "The police will be here soon, and we'll have to explain."
"Fair enough." I nodded
Loud footsteps were heard, boots, Oh hey, it's them, Yang and the b-! I mean Weiss...
But me, I drifted away from their conversation, and began thinking of other things
Like how I lied to Velvet about my family, nobody died, not even my evil, selfish, bastard father who still roams this world.
Sigh Man I thought moving far away from home would change everything, but deep down inside I'm still out for revenge, not just to that man that I call 'father'
"All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you come to your teammates, and not some...someone else." Weiss said, looking at Sun, and for some odd reason, looked at me too.
"Of course." Blake said, wiping her eye
"Yeah team RWBY is back together!" Ruby threw her arms in the air as team RWBY, Sun and myself regroup, hmm...
"I'm still not quite sure how I feel about you!" Weiss frowned as she pointed at Sun
"Eh hehe..." Sun just chuckled
"Hey wait a minute, where's penny?" Ruby asked
"She must have left while Blake and Weiss were speaking." I mumbled
"Where could she have gone...?" Ruby sighed
"Who knows, everyone has their own path to follow..."
