Hellooo! So, sorry for the long wait. I had to re-watch some seasons in RWBY. And don't worry, the dinosaurs will appear soon when I feel it's right.
That is all, enjoy.
"This is so boring!" Wraith exclaims through Voltaria's mind.
Voltaria and her entities were hidden on top of a building, she was watching Blake with the monkey Fanus, who is named Sun Wukong. Sun came from the Kingdom of Vacuo, but instead of studying in Shade Academy, he studies at Haven Academy at Mistral. The two Faunus were drinking tea at the balcony of a café in the middle of Vale as they 'chatted'. Sun was glad that Blake finally speaks because nearly two days and she only gave him nothing but small talk and weird looks, causing Blake to give Sun a firm look.
"I want to know what's going on and I want to know what's bothering Belladonna that's all." Voltaria said to her entities.
"She's just goin' on a date with a monkey! That's all we need to know! Now can we go?! I'm getting sick of watching this crap!" Wraith complained.
"We'll leave when I feel like it." Voltaria said sternly, causing Wraith to be silent.
They listened to the two Faunus's conversation as Blake questioned Sun if he knew about the White Fang. Sun knows them as he describes them as holier-than-thou creeps. But soon takes it back when Blake admits that she was once one of them, much to his surprise. This caught Voltaria's interest, she always knew that Blake was always keeping secrets, but this is ONE big secret that was interesting. Voltaria listens as Blake explains about her past with the White Fang and its origins, starting by noting that one could say she was born into it. She continues by stating that after the Faunus Rights Revolution, the White Fang was created as a symbol of peace and unity between the Humans and Faunus. However, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were still treated as inferior, so the White Fang became the voice of their people. Ever since childhood, Blake stood with them at every protest, boycott and rally, thinking that they were making a difference. However, five years ago, their leader was replaced by someone with violent and radical ideals. Their new leader replaced the group's peaceful protests with organized attacks and hijackings against businesses that refused to serve them or used Faunus labor. Hating what the White Fang had become, she left and decided to use her combat skills to instead become a Huntress.
"Wow, for a cat Faunus, Blake got skills." Wraith complimented.
"And cute." Hannibal added, making Wraith grumble in annoyance.
Voltaria stares at Blake from a distance. Blake and her almost have the same life as a child. But unlike Blake, Voltaria had to kill to survive. Voltaria watched as Sun asked Blake if she told her friends any of this, which she didn't yet.
Speaking of her friends, they were at the other side of the city, walking through the streets and calling in vain for their missing teammate. Well, Ruby and Yang were calling out to her, except Weiss. She didn't help as she suggested they should call for the police to help, which was a bad idea. Yang suggests that they should hear Blake's side of the story before they jump to any conclusions. Although Weiss wouldn't even listen as she said when they hear it, they'll all realize she was right, but she's not. However, as they walk, they have no idea that there was a girl, about Ruby's age, was following them behind Weiss. She has short, rather curly orange hair with a small ahoge on top that came down to her chin, with a pink bow on the back of her head. She has bright green eyes, light skin and freckles. She wore a whitish-gray old-fashioned blouse with short gray feminine overalls as well as a black and green collar with a matching pair of stockings. And a small and thin backpack. They didn't notice her until she spoke from behind them.
"And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today!" She said cheerfully, causing them to turn around suddenly in surprise.
"Aaaah! Penny! Where did you come from!?" Ruby asked in surprise and shock.
The girl is named Penny Polendina. They met Penny by accident after Weiss crashed into her when she and the others were chasing after Sun.
Penny made a cheerfully smile as she ignored the question. "Hey guys! What are you up to?" She asked.
"Uhh..." Was all Ruby could say.
Luckily, Yang steps in and says, "We're looking for our friend Blake."
"Ooooh, you mean the Faunus girl!" Penny said cheerfully.
When she said that, Ruby, Weiss, and Yang stare at Penny in disbelief, wondering how did she know that.
"Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby asked her.
"Uhh, the cat ears?" Penny points the top of her head.
Yang laughs a little, thinking it was a joke. "What cat ears? She wears a…boooohhh..."
They soon realize why Blake wears a bow, leaving them in silence for a short while, as a tumbleweed blows through in the wind and passes them. Ruby leans over to her sister and whispers to her about Blake.
"She does like tuna a lot..."
"So, where is she?" Penny asked, didn't hear what Ruby said about tuna.
"We don't know. She's been missing since Friday." Ruby explains.
Penny gasps as she approaches an uncomfortable Ruby. "That's terrible! Well, don't you worry Ruby, my friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate!" Penny said cheerfully.
Ruby was doing her best to be nice and continue smiling. "Uh, that's really nice of you, Penny, but we're okay! Really! Right, guys?"
Ruby looks over Penny to direct her question at Yang and Weiss. However, they weren't there, only blinking outlines are all that's left of their sudden departure from the company of the strange girl or short they left Ruby with Penny. A tumbleweed blows past them again in the sudden silence.
"It sure is windy today!" Penny said cheerfully while Ruby silently groans.
Voltaria sits on top of a building, legs crossed, as she watches Sun and Blake from above. They were walking down an alley. They were talking about the White Fang and what they were up to. Blake doesn't believe that they were those robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before. Luckily, Sun has theory and heard from some people talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas, a big Schnee Company freighter. Hearing this, Voltaria summons Vision from thin air and takes out her tarot cards. She turns around and sits on her knees on the floor of the building. She placed four cards on the floor. Each of them flipped backwards, so she couldn't see the pictures yet. She brought Vision close to her as she flipped the first card. It revealed a gang of thieves stealing treasures. She then flipped the second card to reveal a cat and monkey fighting off shadow like beings. She flipped the third card to reveal a knight in shining armor and holding up a sword. The fourth card she flipped was a group of friends being reunited.
Volatria narrowed her eyes before swiping the cards on herself as she stood up. Her entities appeared before her. Voltaria slightly turns to their direction.
"We're leaving." She said before she and her entities disappeared through the shadows.
Somewhere else, Ruby and Penny were walking through the streets, in search of Blake. However, they still couldn't find her. Penny would lighten up the mood, sometimes, by asking questions to Ruby. But the hooded girl wasn't too pleased by these questions but answered the best way she could as well as being nice.
"So, Blake is your friend?" Penny asked Ruby as they walked.
Ruby sighs in annoyance, that was the twentieth question that Penny asked Ruby. She couldn't tell her to leave because unlike Weiss, Ruby wants to be friendly towards her.
"Yes, Penny." Ruby answered as they made their way down the sidewalk.
"But you're mad at her?" Penny asked.
Ruby shook her head. "Yes. Well, I'm not. Weiss is." She answered the best way she could.
"Is she friends with Blake?"
"Well, that's kind of up in the air right now..."
Penny was trying to contemplate this. She still doesn't understand what Ruby was talking about. "But why?"
Ruby sighs again, understanding how Weiss felt when SHE asked her a random question. "Well, you see, Blake might not be who we thought she was..." Ruby said.
Penny gasped in shock and realization. "Is she a man?" She asked.
Ruby looked at her in disbelief. "No! No, Penny. She's..." Ruby stops walking and lets out a sigh. She still can't understand why Blake kept it a secret and why she was running. She looks at Penny as she explains again. "I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off."
Penny stares at her for a few seconds before finally speaking. "I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things."
Ruby turns her gaze downward sadly and silently agrees with Penny. "Me too..."
Ruby turned around and suddenly saw Volatria behind her. Ruby screams in surprise and jumps into Penny's arms, who caught her with ease. Voltaria stares at the two blankly under her mask as Ruby was trying to catch her breath from the sudden scare. She turned to Voltaria and gave her a shock, scared that was mixed with annoyance.
"Volty! Stop appearing out of nowhere!" Ruby scolded.
"Is she your friend too, Ruby?" Penny asked as she set the hooded girl down.
"Kind of…" Ruby mutters.
Penny becomes cheerful and looks at Voltaria happy, not a single pang of fear has come into her face. "Salutation! My name is Penny! What's your name?"
"…Voltaria." Voltaria answers dully and then turns towards Ruby. "If you're looking for Blake, go to the dock, there will be shipments of Schnee Dust containers coming soon."
Ruby and Penny look at each other and turn to Voltaria. "Wait, how did yooo…"
Ruby saw that Voltaria already disappeared from her spot. She never stays too long, Voltaria would disappear after giving information or helping others sometimes. Ruby groans in annoyance as she slumps her head and arms down. Penny, who seems unfazed by this, smiles happily.
"She's a very interesting friend." Penny said cheerfully with her eyes closed.
That night, Blake and Sun meet on a rooftop at the port for their stakeout, waiting to see if the White Fang might come. They saw a huge shipment of Dusts that belong to the Schnee are being delivered from Atlas. Then a Bullhead lands and several White Fang members come out from it. Blake admits to Sun that she did believe that White Fang was behind the crimes but did not want to be right. That's when, Roman Torchwick came out from the Bullhead and ordered the White Fang members around, referring to them as animals.
Blake was shocked and confused, she knew that the White Fang would never work with a human. However, she pushes those thoughts aside as she proceeds to confront them by sneaking up behind Roman. Once she did, she placed the sharp part of the back of Gambol Shroud to his neck while aiming its pistol toward the White Fang members. When she asks them why they are working for him, Roman says it is part of a business venture.
And with that, more Bullheads appeared, distracting Blake in the process. And allowed Roman to escape her grasp by firing a shot from Melodic Cudgel near her feet. He proceeds to fire more shots at her. Luckily, thanks to her fast reflexes and great gymnastic skills, she dodges every blast before retreating.
Roman was about to go after her, until Sun intervened and distracted Roman. And in the process of Sun's action, he takes out several White Fang members. Roman attempts to start a fight with Sun, however, when Sun blocks the first attack, Blake leaps between them claiming the fight as hers. She repeatedly uses her shadows in quick succession to confuse Roman, leaping around him while dual wielding Gambol Shroud. However, Roman is still able to keep up with her, barely managing to block all her attacks and laughing as he lands two hits on her before he finally manages to knock her down with a third hit. Without missing a beat, Sun jumps in and attacks Roman with the nunchucks form of Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang.
Sadly, Roman was able to block all incoming attacks, laughing once more. However, Blake comes in for a surprise attack, knocking him away from Sun. Roman then shoots down a hanging shipping container, which lands between Sun and Blake as they dive out of the way. He takes this chance to corner Sun, aiming his cane at him. Before he can shoot at him, Ruby arrives at the fight. Thanks to Voltaria, Ruby was able to find where she was. When Roman recognizes her, he becomes annoyed to see 'Red' again and tries to take her out. Luckily, Ruby was able to dodge him, but soon got distracted by Penny, giving Roman the right time to attack Ruby and hit her, knocking Ruby to the ground, instantly disarming her in the process.
But his action somehow angered Penny as she decided to join the fight.
Ruby saw Penny walking over to the fight as she tried to get up and stop her. "Penny, wait! Stop!" She called out as she raised her hand in a futile attempt to stop her.
However, Penny briefly looks at her and smiles. "Don't worry, Ruby." She assured before turning towards the fight with her eyes narrowed. "I'm combat ready!"
With that said, her backpack mechanically opens, and from its dark depths comes a single sword that suddenly extends and multiples into several blades hovering over Penny's back. Leaping from the rooftop with the weapons acting as wings. She sends three of her swords to knock two White Fang soldiers down before even landing on the ground. Penny then proceeds to fling the swords at one enemy, impale another to a wall, create a barrier of spinning steel against a running attack, leaping over a goon with her swords in tow, and finally making a wheel that she throws to knock multiple Faunus off their feet.
Sun, Ruby, and Blake were amazed by this, especially Ruby. She never knew Penny was capable of such speed and strength. Then Three Bullheads come from the skies and open fire on the battle, but Penny merely forms a shield and launches two of her swords into the wall behind her, which in turn pull their wielder back with their strings. When her swords swirl around her again, she commands them to open their points and build up a large glowing ball of green light energy. With a punching action, several bright lasers crack the pavement when they fire at the transports and slice each one in half, causing several of the White Fang members inside to fall and letting Ruby watch as Bullheads fall in pieces behind her.
Stunned, Ruby turns back to Penny as she aims her swords at the remaining Bullheads holding the crate of Dust and pulls back on their wires, tugging the aircraft with them.
"Whoa... How is she doing that?" Ruby whispers as she watches with awe.
Seeing the Bullhead's flight fall under Penny's control, Roman grimaces and turns to run towards the last transport. Back to Penny, she pulls with all her might on the invisible strings, and the aircraft crashes into a stack of crates, causing an explosion as a result.
Roman was escaping to the last Bullhead as he watched Penny's fight. "These kids just keep getting weirder..."
With that said, he uses his cane to close the doors, and the jet lifts off, flying away from the lost battle.
When Penny defeats all the Bullheads and White Fang Members, a handful of police cars are at the docks. There Ruby, Blake, Sun, and Penny are sitting on boxes in silence. Not sure what to say. That is, when Weiss and Yang came to the docks after seeing the commotion.
Ruby quickly sits up and tries to explain the situation. "Look Weiss, it's not what you think, she explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute..."
Weiss, however, simply ignores her and squares off with Blake, who was calmly looking her down. It's been hours as Weiss and Yang search for her and the others. Luckily, they had help with the most terrifying girl in their school. Thanks to her, they were able to find them.
"Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-"
Weiss cuts off Blake's sentence. "Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you?" Weiss questioned her seriously yet annoyed. Blake blinks at her in surprise, not sure what to say. "Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..."
Yang, Sun, and Ruby look at them worriedly, hoping that she wouldn't say anything mean. However, Weiss's eyes soften a bit as she looks at Blake.
"I don't care." Weiss said.
Blake looks at her in surprise. "You don't care?"
"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss questioned.
"No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-"
Weiss quickly silences her. "Ah-bah-bah-bah-bah! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some..." She looks over to Sun behind her as she catches herself. "Someone else."
Blake was shocked and soon looked over at Ruby and Yang, who were grinning at her, soon she wiped a tear from her eye, before nodding. "Of course." She said softly.
Weiss smiles and nods at her. when they finally forgave and understood each other, Ruby waved her arms wildly, cheering. "Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!"
As the five were about to gather with each other, Weiss pointed accusingly at Sun. "I'm still not quite sure about how I feel about you!" She said, remembering that he was their competition in the Vytal Festival.
Sun laughs nervously at her as he backs away a bit. They were about to head back to the academy when Ruby realizes someone was missing as she looks around. "Hey, wait a minute…where's Penny?"
Her question caught the other's attention as they looked around to find the mystery girl, but she wasn't here. Unaware of them, Penny was inside a limo as she watched the group of friends reunited with each other. She wishes she could join them, but she knew that she couldn't.
"You should know better than to go running around in a strange city." The Driver said off-screen.
Penny lowers her head sadly, knowing that she was in trouble. "I know, sir." She said softly.
The limo started to drive off to another location, far from others. "Penny, your time will come..." The Driver said.
Penny nodded as she looked at the window sadly, watching as the limo drove away from Ruby and her friends. She stared at the window for a while and saw a glimpse of Voltaria, standing at the sidelines. Penny thought she was hallucinating because when she looked at the backseat window, she saw no one. But she could've sworn she saw Voltaria.
"Hmmm…such an interesting friend." Penny said softly with her eyes closed.
Meanwhile, back at Beacon Academy, Professor Ozpin was in his office. He was watching a live feed in his Scroll, showing Ruby at the docks. He studies the video for a while before he closes it. He then opens a contact with the name Qrow and sends a message that says: 'QUEEN HAS PAWNS.'
Once he sends it, he hums a bit before taking a sip of his coffee. But as he drank, he wasn't aware that Tabitha was spying on him in the shadows before retreating towards a rooftop on one of the dorms. She appeared beside Voltaria, who was looking through the horizon.
"It seems that Ozpin has friends from other places." Tabitha informs them.
"Good job, Tabitha." Voltaria said as she looked at the nearly full moon.
She knows that there is a great danger coming, no one knows it yet, but she does. She took out a card that shows. It was the fifth card that came before the four cards she bought recently. It revealed three black silhouette figures. And the middle figure was holding a fire. Indicating it was the leader.
"We all have to be prepared for anything." Voltaria said to her entities as they looked at the shattered moon.
Sorry, I was too lazy to write it. Anyways, I hope you guys like it and if you have ideas for the next chapter, just ask me.
