Chapter 20:The End of This

Meanwhile at the markets Yang and Rogue where soon joined by Eria and Weiss. They said how they couldn't find anything over their. They went to help Jaune team look for Zane or Blake and Onxyia.

"Arghh we've searched this entire market from top to bottom and no sigh of those three or Jaune teams."Rogue said which made her worry

"Hey wherever they are, I'm sure we'll find them. I mean how far could they have gone."Yang replied.

"I know but i'm just worried is all Onxyia and Zane are our teammates."Rogue said

Weiss heard this and looked down upset at herself thinking back what she said to Blake.

Soon enough they turned the corner, noticing a group of three people in clocks that concealed their identity as they were heading into a building known as Tuscons Books.

"What in the world is going on here?"Yang questioned

"They look susciopus we should check it out…"Eria suggested before Rogue scroll buzzed.

"Jaune thank god did you find Zane?"Rogue asked

"No but we did encounter some weird type of grimm here and we need help!"jaune yelled

"What Grimm in Vale…but how?"Yang asked

Then from the book store a fireball erupted from the store windows. This surprised all of them at what just happened. The windows were destroyed with glass in every direction.

"Oh great now we got people bombing book stores."Eria said

"Guys we need to split up, me and Yang will help Jaune. You two put the fire out alright"Rogue suggested.

Yang and Rogue rushed to help Jaune team while Eria and Weiss rushed to help the people inside the building. Weiss summoned a glyph causing a small ice storm to form over putting out the flames. While Eria froze her hand over then tossing in a small dust vial as it exploded covering the Eria rushed in to see if anyone was alive.

Their were several burned books in the store with smoke coming off them. Eria looked around until seeing a man with a White Fang mask on his person. He looked to be dead from a stab wound to the heart. She sighed saying"Were too late hes gone"

"Dammit where are those three that went in were they in their?"weiss asked

"Nope must have went out the back"Eria said

Soon sirens went off with both of them deiciding to stay and explain what happened.

=RWBY=

Back with Rogue and Yang as they got close to Jaune's group from his last call. They turned the corner to see them fighting what appeared to be a grimm.

There was a strange looking creature that was standing up, looking to stand at about eight feet tall. It looked muscular in appearance and its body was jet black looking with a mix of dark blue in it. The skin looked to be hard and it had long claws like feet and hands. Its face was creepy because its mouth was human mixed with white teeth like fangs with short wide snot. Along with its face having a grimm mask but looked human it seems with dark blue lines on it instead of red. On its back was some spike protruding out of its spine. Along with a whip-like tail with a jagged bone shard at the end.

"What type of grimm is that?!"Yang yelled

"I don't know but let's help them out, ''Rogue said, readying her axe.

Pyrrha slashed at the beast but it dodged her attack like it could read her. Then Nora rushed in with her hammer trying to smack the beast. But it jumped and dodged, making her run into Pyrrha. Pyrrha fell down rubbing her head saying"What is this thing? It's dodging my moves like it has seen them before."

Ren was firing his machine pistols at the beast and it howled in pain as he did. It blocked them with one arm walking toward Ren. Ren started to back up as it came at him. As he got close Yang came from the side punching it into a small market stand.

"Eat that ugly!"Yang said, readying her weapons again.

Rogue rushed foward transforming her weapons into her small axes then submachine guns. She fired several shots at it going around in circles. As she went around the creature made a small noise as it tried to get back creature then got back up rushing at her roaring.

Rogue then changed her direction toward a wall. She ran up a wall a little flipping over the beast. Then she combined the submachines together back into her axe. She then rammed it into the strange grimm back. And it roared in pain, then tried to shake her off.

As she held on for dear life she heard a faint voice"pain…make…..it ….stop….please"the voice said was surprised to hear this saying to herself"did it just talk…"before she could finish she was launched off by the creature. Then it shook itself off and it seemed to crack its body with every movement.

Jaune caught her but he fell to his back. Yang was rushing the beast firing her gaunlets at it repeatly .After each shot the grimm slightly caught on fire howling even in more pain. Yang then rushed it again charging up her fist. Then she punched the creature in its side three times, making some damage, it seems.

"What is up with this thing arghhh just die already"Nora yelled taking out her grenade launcher. Then she fired four shells at it hititing it directly. But she also hit yang who looked at Nora. But understood what she was doing.

Pyrrha then rushed in from behind the creature slashing at its ankles. It cried in pain getting on its knees. Then Yang was about to punch it again until its tail went over its shoulder grabbing her wrist. Yang was shocked then tried to get her wrist free but it was too late.

The creature's jaw slowly unhinged and was ready to take a bite out of the jaw unhinged it made a cracking noise like its jaws was being broken off. Everyone watched in horror but to their surprise. The creature stopped clawing at its head screaming into the night 's tail undid itself from Yang wrist letting her leg.

"what the…."jaune said, stunned at what's happening.

The creature then went toward a wall banging its head repeatedly several creature kept banging its head and black goo stained the brick wall. As it did everyone regrouped wondering what was going on. Their faces had looks of confusion and shock on it.

"Ok is it me or this grimm acting….weird"Yang said

"Yeah it literally had you in his grip but it….…didn''t bite you?"Ren added

"Yes…that is weird, does it have a soul or something?Grimm don't have souls."pyrrha asked

"Well whatever this thing is we deal with it then continue looking for Blake,Onxyia and Zane"Jaune said pointing his sword at the beast.

It then clicked with the rogue at what the creature was. "Ummm guys….I think we already found Zane"she said worried

"What are you talking about a crazy Rogue that isn't …Zane ''Yang said slowly relizing what she meant.

The grimm turned around slowly looking at them clutching its head. The creature then let out some distorted voice coming from what appeared to be its mouth."Kill….me….kil-l-l-l-l m–eeeeeeeeeeee"it then clawed at its head again trying to tear off its skin.

"What in the remnant is happening"Pyrrha said, holding her hands over her mouth.

Rogue shuffled through her pouches revealing the syringe Zane still had left. "We gotta inject this into him."Rogue started tossing it to Jaune and he caught it.

They all looked at each other nervously at what was happening. Jaune looked at his sword thinking about his friend Zane. Then he walked forward ready to help him."Let's go guys we got this."Jaune said with confidence.

Pyrrha just smiled at this walking up saying"lead the way dear leader"she said smiling next to him. Ren and Nora joined him along with Yang and Rogue. All six of them rushed the creature trying to hold it down. It trashed around like crazy,they luckily grabbed it because it was clutching its head in pain. As it tried to attack them Yang and Nora held onto its legs. While Pyrrha and Rogue held back his arms. Ren was behind the creature known as zane back wrapping around his neck.

"Jaune do it now!"Pyrrha yelled

Jaune rushed over with the vial Rogue handed off to him early. Then he jumped on top of the grimm creature stabbing it into his neck. The creature scream as the liquid went into it and soon is stopped. The creature ceast to move and they all sat their quiet. Everyone let go of its limb and stood their watching it.

"Is he…..dead?"nora asked

"No way he's dead he said it's used to surpresses his semblance not kill him…right?"Rogue asked

"I….I….Don't know."Yang said retracitng her gaunlents

Ren looked at it kicking it slightly without it moving. While Nora just looked down at it with a sadden expression.

Jaune looked down thinking about what hes just done dropping too his knees. "no…..I just killed my friend….no this can't be happening"Jaune said tears starting to form. With Pyrrha going over putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Its….not…your fault Jaune."Pyrrha said trying to reassure him.

As they all sat their the beast crumpled apart in a goo like substance. Then they all turned around ready around except Yang noticed something from the corner of her in the middle was a lump and Yang noticed it moving. Then coughing could be heard to their amazement. Yang rushed over to a nearby stall that was destory from the fight.

They used it to wipe the goo off revealing Zane passed out breathing slowly."welp I guess we found Zane….hope the others are having some better luck. "

=RWBY=

Meanwhile with Ruby and Penny they were currently looking for Balke as penny began to ask what happened.

"So if i may ask ruby? What exactly caused all of this to occur?"penny asked

"Well honestly it kind happened so fast. Weiss and Blake started arguing about the White Fang nd what should happen to them. Then some more things were said then Blake and Onxeyia ran away. Then their is zane who went missing yesterday and hasn't return either….I don't know why."Ruby replied

"Oh…so do Weiss and Blake hate each other now?"penny asked

"I don't think so but…its complicated. I just hope that we can them."ruby said but then a bright white light emerged from the other side of the building.

"Light?that could mean…..huh its them!"ruby said running to the giant light.

Penny followed the girl to the bright light emitting from some docks.

"Guys we found Blake and Onxyia I think we saw a bright light it could be her."Ruby said on her scroll.

"Sorry rubes but something happened we had to split up me and Weiss are making sure someone alright."Eria said on the other end

"Why? What happened is it Zane?"Ruby asked

"No their was a fire me and Weiss stopped it but the owner died. "Eria said with a somber tone

"Ummmm we got good news on our end."Jaune said on the channel

"Really what is it?"ruby asked excited

"We umm found Zane and well…did you guys know he could turn into a grimm?"Jaune asked on the other end.

"What?!"Ruby and Eria said on both ends

"Yeah we were fighting some strange looking grimm. Then it started attacking itself then it….talked. We relizied it was Zane and injected him with his meds. He alright now….passed out but alright"Jaune said on the other end

"Alright good me and Penny are going to help Blake and Onxyia"Ruby said hanging up.

=RWBY=

Meanwhile Onxyia was still trying to fight off the strange women. She swung her Glaive spinning around and the women dodge it firing more crossbow bolt. Onxyai breathed asking"who the hell are you roman personal bodyguard?!"Onxyia asked

The girl smiled before brandishing a sabre that was colored black and white with feathers engraved on it"you can call me the Swan."the girl bowed

Onxyia looked at her weird asking"what are you….some superhero?"

The girl laughed"No more like…..you know what never mind lets continue our dance shall we"she said bowing

Onxyia kept fighting with her, swinging her glaive at her while the girl continuously blocked each hit. The swan then jabbed at Onxyia but she lifted her right hand and some shadows grabbed the girl's arm.

Back with Blake she and Sun were fighting off Roman and some White Fang. Sun was using his bo staff that was long red and dark, Their was gold detailing on the staff. As Sun took out a fun white fang members with his staff.

Two come from different sides and he transformed them into a pair of nunchucks with lever action shotguns on the end of it. They were held in place by a gold chain. He hit one white weapon in the face. Then brought his chain underneath the other tripped him over.

Blake was fighting with Roman who was blocking each of her swings. She slashed veriticla but Roman moved sideways blocking her again.

The swan looked over thinking"Great this isn't good. Gotta finish my dance with wolfy before I can help dad."she thought. The Swan tried to run away but onxyia wasn't going to let her.

"Oh no you don't"onxyia replied lifting her hand in the air creating a large ball of light.

The swan covered her eyes slightly but with her mask it helped her see a little. The girl pressed a button on her wrist mounted crossbow. It swapped to paralysis bolts and she fired one into the girl's neck.

Onxyia felt the bolt in neck and the needle was thin. She removed it and said"what was that…what did you shoot me….with."Onxyia said about falling over the edge.

But the Swan caught her placing her against the roofs wall."Sorry dog ears had to do it too you. Thanks for the dance though."The girl said before rushing off to Roman.

Onxyia felt tired but she used her remaining strength to summon another ball of light.

Meanwhile Blake and Sun continued their fight with Roman and the swan then jumped in kicking blake into sun.

"You okay dad?"she asked

"Yeah but we got a couple of pest here in the way."Roman said

The girl looked over at the two saying"aww you two make a lovely couple"the swan jokes

Sun laughed but blake looked at her with annoyance.

What they failed to notice was the blinding light in the sky above the docks.

"Huh? Where did this light come from?"roman asking trying to cover his eyes.

"Don't know but were going to need to leave…"the Swan started but was cut off.

"HEY!"a voice shouted, getting all their attention as they saw Ruby on top of a building with her scythe fully extended.

"Oh little red riding hoods here too"Roman said

"You know her?"The swan asked

"You can say that"Roman said boarding the bullhead. He signal the pilot to take off and he began too.

Ruby fired several shots at the bullhead trying to bring it down but someone else behind her came in to fight.

"Penny! What are you doing?"Ruby called out

"Don't worry Ruby."Penny began

"I'm combat ready."she said flaring at the two,

On her back her pack opened up and out of it came eight swords that seem to float near her.

The swan gulped saying"We should do like right now!"she hollered

"Yeah I can agree on that."roman agreed having the bullhead try and take off.

Penny noticed this trying to attack him but the Swan dived out of the bullhead toward her. She fired several cross bow bolts hitting her swords.

Penny looked at her "i'm ordering you to lower your weapons and stand down."penny ordered

"Sorry sweetie not going to happen ''The Swan whsitled. Then a bullhead suddenly appeared above theme which cause most of them away but penny,

The bullhead fired several shots at penny but with a wave of her hand her sword came to defend her whirling around like a shield blocking each attack. Then the swords suddently straigted out aiming at the bullhead as a green energy sphere charged up and then fired a green lasrer beam from them splitting the bullheasd in half.

Everyone watched completely stunned at what she just did and as she did the dust containers were destroyed.

However torthwich managed to get away in another bullhead escaping.

"These kids just keep on getting weird"said softly as the bullhead flew away from the docks out of range.

"Well love to stay for another dance but i've got to go."The swan said taking out a small sphere object throwing it down causing a flash.

Once the light died the Swan was gone.

"Dang it! She got away"Blake said obviosuly not happy.

"Hey at least we foiled his little operation."sun replied

The light show stopped with Onexyia coming down tired.

"Everyone alright?..."Onxyia said stumbling before sun caught her smiling. Onxyia groaned at this to the annoyance of sun.

Almost immediately Blake was tackled by Ruby followed by a swarm of rose petals as Blake felt Ruby hug her.

"Gah! Ruby!"Blake called out looking at her.

"I'm glad you two are okay. You had me worried."ruby replied

"Sorry if I worried you."Blake said returning the gesture.

"We better leave before the vale police get her"Sun replied as they all agreed however Ruby stopped to look around for penny but she wasn't with them.

"Hey where penny?"ruby questioned looking around for her friend as penny entered a limo leaving the docks.

Once the group left the dock Eria and Weiss managed to catch up with them.

"You all okay?Weiss questioned however she did notice Blake didn't have her bow on her head instead it was a pair of cat ears.

"Ummm weiss just wanted to say i'm no longer associated with the White Fang. I was really young back then."Blake said

Weiss took a deep breath"stop! Do you have an idea how long we've been searching for you two? Twelve hours….that means i've had twelve hours to think about this and i've decided on that"she said

As everyone sat their waiting for her answer Weiss started to talk.

"I'm so sorry for what I was wrong for me to say all those hurtful things. Escpecially about hunting down all faunus. Please forgive me,"Weiss said, bowing her head.

Blake looked stunned and so did Onxyia. Onxyia still glared at Weiss who looked at her. Then weiss aplogized again to her. "I'm sorry for what I said to about brother…you were just looking out for him I should have understood."Weiss said looking with sad expression.

Onxyia sighed before putting a hand on Weiss' shoulder"Look i'm sorry for threatening you but….I do accept your apolgie.''she said then Weiss brought her and Blake into a group hug. Both looked confused at each other. They returned the embrace then Blake asked them something.

"Wait did you guys find Zane yet?"blake asked

"Yeah…..but well we have to explain when we get back."Eria said.

"Okay then we better head back to Beacon."Onxyia said relieved tail wagging happily at the mention of zane being okay.

"Yeah i'll be seeing you girls later."sun replied

"Take care and sorry for accusing you monkey boy."Weiss said before Sun jumped off as the group went back to Beacon.

=RWBY=

After they returned, Jaune team already brought Zane back who was slightly awake. But he was mumbling to himself it seemed.

"Get away….get away…please….I don't want to do the test again….please"Zane muttered, scared moving around eritict.

They were in team RWBY room watching this play out wonderirng what is going on."what exactly is up with this guy?"yang asked hand clasped together

"Yang come on he's our friend"Ruby said annoyed at her sister

"You didn't see him turn into a giant monster trying to kill us."Yang replied with shock

"What do you mean giant monster?"Blake asked raising an eyebrow

Then Jaune got his scroll out showing a few pictures of what happened. Nora took a few before Rogue and Yang showed up. It showed Zane in his monstrous grimm form. The others gasped as they saw seemed itnrigued by it but also creeped out.

"That's Zane!...huh he's prettier now."Eria said

"But why did he turn into that?"Weiss asked

"Because he didn't take this."Jaune presented an empty syringe.

They looked at it wondering what it was. Then jaune started to explain"Apprently Zane takes this for his semblance to keep it under control. He becomes aggressive along with turning into some type of animal." he said

"Yes,it seems right now he is reliving those memories right now. On our way here he kept talking about a lab in his sleep. I'm guessing that….how he lost his memories along with his semblance being activated."pyrrha added

As they sat their Nora and Rogue were watching Zane. "you think he going to wake up soon?"nora asked

Then right as she asked that Zane shot up screaming at the top of his lungs. This scared rogue who fell backwards and Nora jumped to Ren hugging him.

"Arghh get the hell away…..I don't wanna take the test anymore. Don't put me in the tube again."Zane screamed, backing up against the wall.

"Zane calm down its us"Ruby said

"Yeah come on man your with friends"Jaune said slowly walking forward.

"Please don't be some crazy nut job now…..we already have Nora"Weiss added

"Hey" Nora said offended but didn't care afterwards.

But he swated at them cowering. Then Eria walked over to her teammate grabbing him. She then smacked him on the side of the face, shaking him. "Hey leader calm down get your act together!"Eria said

Zane got his act together looking at them then looking down in shame. They were silent before Ren broke it. "So what is the lab?"Ren asked softly

Zane rubbed his neck gripping it even."I don't know all I remember are all the experiments they did on me. While I was turned into that…thing. Memories came rushing back."zane said still scared

"Really did any come up about your friends from before?"Rogue asked

He shook his head no looking at them. Then he noticed Blake's cat ears pointing at them."Am I still seeing things or does Blake have cat ears?"

"Oh yeah Blake is a faunus actually and she used to be a part of White Fang. But she eventually left it. She didn't agree with their goals and how they tried to achieve them."weiss added

Zane looked down surprised then Pyrrha said something that made everyone perk up."Zane I think you should show them your…scars"she said this with regret

"Scars?"Ruby asked, looking at Pyrrha.

"Pyrrha what are you talking about?"Yang asked now leaning against one of the beds.

Zane looked away for a moment then felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Jaune smiling then Zane stood up. He took off his bandana first then his shirt. Zane slowly removed his shirt to expose his back As he did he turned around toward everyone. They saw all the scars on his back and the large circular one on his neck. It looked like his entire spin was ripped out it seems with small lines around it.

Weiss put her hands on her head falling backwards. Eria also did the same falling to her side. "Welp you melted the Ice Queens nice…..real nice"Rogue said.

Ruby looked away cringing at the sight of the scar but wanted to look at them still."Do they hurt?"

Zane shook his head no and then Yang got a closer look at them. As she did she noticed the circular scar had a smaller circle in the middle of it. "Ummm I think I know what stabbed you here….a giant needle."

"Blegh your back looks like someone took out your entire spine."Nora commented

Zane laughed, turning back around, picking up his shirt and putting it back on."yeah I thought the same thing….i'm sorry for lying to you all."

"Hey your alright you didn't wanna share it due to being scared of getting kicked out of Beacon its alright"Eria said composing herself.

Onxyia had her arms crossed before sighing"if we were getting secret out I might as well too. Blake was a part of the White Fang….I was too."Onxyia said, clutching her arm,tail wagging fast making a thumping sound.

"Wait what?!"Ruby said loudly.

"Wait….that makes alot of sense now."Ren said

"Your contacts in the white fang, the dirt cardin had on you and why you wanted to find your brother."weiss said

"You were trying to stop him from making the same mistake you did, ''Weiss added, looking at Onxyia with a saddened expression.

"Yeah that guy ollie at the dust robbery. He convivnced me to join a while back. I helped with protest by scouting out possible locations now and then. But then one day I saw him do something horrible.''Onxyia quivered thinking about it.

"What was it if you don't mind us asking?"Pyrrha asked

Blake got near her friend putting her hand on her shoulder. Onxyia smiled before she continued.

"We invaded a village in Vacou then a girl from the crowd emerged. She was a little faunus girl named lucy. When Ollie tired to make her join us she attack him then he….pulled out his gun shooting her."Onxyia said

"Who would do that to a child?"Yang said anger

"Him and I think he did the same thing to Ben. I remember his gun mentally and physically."she said, lifting her shirt up. Zane,Ren and Jaune looked away. Eria smiled, saying"well it looks like you three are gentlemen after all."

"Shut up ice queen"zane quipped still groggy

Eria just laughed quietly saying"Miss you too you clown."

Onxyia showed the group her giant burn scar then putting her shirt back down finishing."their you have it i'm White Fang and so is going to turn us in?"

"Hmmm we could but I don't really know anyone in the White Fang do you guys?"ruby asked

"nope"Yang said with her hands behind her head.

"Their no one in the white fang here."Eria said smiling

"What were we talking about?"Ren played innocent

"Hmmmmm I don't know what you two mean by that. But I do know my perspective on them has changed."Weiss said smiling

"Ok if anyone has anymore more secret spill it so we can head to bed"Zane said

Jaune stepped up everyone gaze on took a deep breath before he started to talk. He had a look of worry on his face.

"I was kidding."Zane said surprised

"If we were getting a secret out I might as well. You know how you need to go to training school to get into the academy?"Jaune asked

"Yeah you always need to attend those schools to attend these type of schools"Blake said

"Well here's the thing…I never went."Jaune said which shocked everyone.

Pyrrha was more shocked before Rogue asked a question."But how'd you get in then you need a transcipt."

"I faked it to get in…a forgery if you like to call it. I feel like I don't even deserve to be here anymore."Jaune said sitting down on a bed.

Pyrrha rushed over hugging him which surprised Jaune who was blushing."Pyrrha what are you…"Jaune said before Pyrrha interrupted him.

"Jaune, stop talking like that right now! You earned your place here at beacon weather or not you went to places like signal. I'm proud to say that you are a great leader and huntsmen for our team."Pyrrha said then letting him go but wanted to say something else but could't

"I agree you may have your quirks but you always try your best."Ren said

"Yeah plus I think your a great guy well compared to Ren"Nora said

Jaune smiled at his team and everyone."guess I do kinda deserve to be here I guess. Thanks guys."they all sat their talking for a bit getting to know each other a little more.

Meanwhile in another part of Vale the three figures that destroyed the book store received a message from their employer about something.

"Thank you Roman we'll keep in touch."one of them said sounding like a women currently holding three transcripts.

"Were in. Let hope those four can't find us."the women said

One of them sighed, and the third nudges the second."Its alright I think the guy made it out, and is on his way to safety."the third spoke in a male voice said

"I know and we'll be safe soon enough to."the second voice is female and concerned.

The three then look at Beacon Academy their next destination, and they could only hope that things would be better once they got there.
