With Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee protected from the mysterious Secret Society, all that was left was Blake Belladonna & Yang Xiao Long. Peter and his team found Blake, only for them to scare her away. However, the chase is on… as he, Cassandra, January, & Riho head off to get her.

Meanwhile, Asahi Sakurai & Mizuki Takase were at Obnubi, locating the last whereabouts of Yang Xiao Long. Only…

Zina showed them the lab, as she said, "I apologize… because what you may see may be uneasy for you two. Step in."

They saw a row of lifeless gynoid dolls, inside a glass pod. Mizuki was shaken, as Asahi nodded in confirmation. "I see you quarantined the victims."

"Yes. After we rescued some of the victims, and purged the Euphoria off of them, they are stable enough… but their Bodhi Waves are still missing, scouring about, across the world."

Mizuki moaned, "Deja vu… It's deja vu…" She held herself, as Asahi whispered, "Mizuki… She hasn't gotten over what happened to her." Asahi stated, "Mizuki, there's nothing to worry about."

"I know… but Cassandra and I, we–."

"Stop. What's done is done, and we saved you, didn't we?"

"Yes, but… It's all so–." Mizuki was shaken.

Zina remarked, "Apparently, you were victimized, were you, Miss Takase?"

"You could say that." Mizuki said, "But… To lose your Bodhi Waves, it's… It's horrifying."

Asahi said to her, "It is scary. But we haven't much time. I am sure that the Bodhi Waves will recover, soon enough." She narrated, "Bodhi Waves… siphoned from women's bodies. I am surprised that the men didn't suffer… but this is Oka Kazamatsuri we're talking about. We're just glad she's dead."

She suddenly had a thought, in complete shock, "Wait… Her Stand, Senbon-Sakura… It's responsible for the Bodhi Waves… only if The Stand dies, they remain like this forever. Which means one thing… and with Bodhi Waves still scouring all over the world…"

Mizuki called out, "Hey, Asa! You coming, or what?" Asahi shook her head and said, "OH! Sorry, coming!" She joined the others, as Asahi was conflicted by her sudden discovery, "No… It just can't be…"

Asahi was in deep thought, only to meet with one possible conclusion – Oka Kazamatsuri was still alive.
But how?


Episode 2 - Chapter 3: Operation: Ice Queen (Part 3)
Blake's Broken Heart


Blake retreated to another part of town, armed with Gambel Shroud. She hid behind a building, and Riho & January arrived. January said, "You can't stay in there, forever!"

Blake barked, "I can try!" She relaxed and sat down.

Riho called, "Miss Belladonna, we're not your enemy."

Blake said, "Why should I trust you? You are after me, after you shot at me!"

January said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too reckless. But listen to us! We're from World Agency!"

"Liar! You're both androids, right? You're from Ironwood's Ace-Ops unit, in disguise!" Blake called out, "I'm not coming out, until you go away!"

January asked, "Ace-Ops?!" Riho responded, "As in… Aesop's Tales." January snuffed, "I knew that." Riho called, "Please, Miss Belladonna, we're not Ace-Ops."

January replied, "I'm actually from Strike Force, but I'm also a part of World Agency. Trust me, I used to be a criminal android. But I changed, because of Mother and Father."

Riho said, "Oh, right… You're adopted." January smirked, "To the best Mother Dear ever."

Blake was torn, as she held herself, "Just… leave me alone…" she responded, "I want nothing to do with anyone… I don't want to be here. You don't know how I feel, knowing what I am."

January said, "We know. We know you're a Faunus. But we don't care." Riho agreed, "I had a hard time being discriminated against, too. As an android, I want to be unique and like humans. And this is me saying it, because you're not human."

"Maybe…" Blake sniffled, "Maybe I don't want to be a Faunus… Maybe I don't want to live…"

January called, "Untrue!"

Peter & Cassandra arrived, as he called, "BLAKE!" He answered, "Listen to us! We're not the enemy!"

Riho said, "It's no use. She won't budge. Blake's hard like diamond."

Cassandra called out, "Blake! We're on a mission to get you, to ask for a favor. It's harmless. It's about Weiss Schnee, your partner."

"I have no team…" Blake sniffled.

Cassandra said, "We know where the rest are! Ruby, Weiss, and Yang! We're your friends! We want to help!"

Blake wept tears from her eyes, "Yang…" She blubbered, as she sobbed, "Yang… Yaaaang…"

Peter whispered, as they stepped back, "Did… Did something happen to Yang?" Cassandra said, "I don't know. Maybe she has a traumatic moment." January yelled, "It's about Yang, isn't it? Tell us!"

Blake refused to answer, as she was crying. They were upset, as Peter growled, "Enough of this… I'm going in." Riho halted him and said, "NO! Just leave her alone. She needed time to think."

January said, "I bet it's because… … … Yang's dead."

Cassandra refuted, "Impossible! Team RWBY is all over the world! We found Blake, and the rest are after Ruby, Weiss, and Yang! Unless… … … Something happened to Yang that we didn't know!"

Peter gasped, "And Mizuki & Asahi are heading there." he called out to Blake, "Blake! If we find Yang for you, will you cooperate?"

Blake wept, "Go away! Just leave me alone!" She couldn't listen to reason to them.

Peter sighed, "Give me a break… It's like talking to a fucking werecat."

January responded, "Blake, please… Just give us time to find your teammate. She's alive. I know it."

Cassandra asked, "Oh, and how?"

XXXXX

Zina showed them a pod, and she responded, "Ladies… You gave me the order, as you were able to track Miss Xiao Long's whereabouts to here. So…" She turned on the lights, and Asahi and Mizuki gasped in horror. They saw a gynoid doll husk with long blonde hair, and with its right arm missing, only showing its upper arm.

"Is that…?" Mizuki whispered. Asahi gasped, "No…"

Zina said, "Yes, ladies. This is Yang Xiao Long."

Asahi seethed, as she looked at Yang's body, "Dammit… Oka got her, too? Even in defeat and death, she never learns! And her Bodhi Waves are missing… DAMN!"

Mizuki said, "How did this happen? Why did she suffer, only to become erased?"

Zina responded, "That, I do not know. Someone has her waves, or somewhere in the world, and Yang Xiao Long remains helpless and lifeless. That is why I leave Yang to you. Obnubi will bring her to World Agency, under observation, until we are able to rescue her."

Asahi bowed and said, "Thank you. Just please do what you can to bring her back."

Zina nodded, "Of course. But… Was she always without an arm?"

XXXXX

Blake clutched onto Yang's prosthetic arm, as she was crying. Peter sighed, as he turned away, "Come on. She's not coming down." He walked off, as Riho asked, "You're quitting?"

He said, "She won't come down, and cooperate. We're done."

Riho said, "We can't give up now!" January and Cassandra followed, as Riho was left behind. She paused and looked up. She growled, as she stated, "No… They can't quit." She dashed off, as the rest were leaving.

She climbed up the building, as Blake was sad. She gasped, as her ears twitched. Blake asked, "Who's there?"

Riho appeared and said, "It's alright. Please… Just trust me. Don't run."

Blake stepped back and sniffled, "I told you to go away!"

"They may leave you alone, but I won't let you. It's about Yang, isn't it?"

Blake sobbed, as a tear dropped to Yang's arm. "Yes…"

Riho said, "Please… We know where Yang is. If we bring her here, will you cooperate with us? We have an important mission, to help Team RWBY. A lot has happened… and…"

"All of us? Are Ruby & Weiss alright, too?"

"They are. But we don't know about Yang, yet. No new details."

Blake wiped her tears and said, "Sorry… I didn't mean to be that hostile. You and I, we're not the same."

"Yes, we are! Your kind and my kind were discriminated against in the past! They can accept us androids, and they can accept you Faunus! I know that… Your pain, it's my pain, too."

"I see…" Blake whispered, "It's… It's tough to remember by… But…" She looked at the arm, and she sniffled. "It's hard to let go of the past."

Riho said to Blake, "Blake, if you go with us, will you–?"
"I said no!" Blake barked. "Not until Yang is found! I won't go without her! It's… It's all I got left…"

She hugged her arm, as Riho said, "Was this… Yang's arm?"

"She lost it, long ago… and she had a new arm made. I… It was my fault… I couldn't save her then…"

"When was it?"

"The Fall of Beacon. Since then, everything changed…"

Riho & Blake talked, until Riho decided to leave. She climbed down, and she said, "Blake, promise me… Will you come with us, if we retrieve Yang Xiao Long? Only then, will you join us? I know how much you want her back. But… Sometimes, we fail missions. But this is one mission we cannot fail."

Blake nodded and said, "See that you do. Just… bring her back… Bring Yang back." Riho climbed down, and all Blake could do was clutch the arm of Yang.

XXXXX

"Son of a bitch!" Mizuki griped, as she and Asahi left Obnubi, "I can't believe Oka Kazamatsuri did it to her! That ninja psycho never learns, does she?"

Asahi said, "We cannot be too sure. I was the one that ended Oka, remember?"

Mizuki responded, "Yes… but her Stand, she has the ability to siphon Bodhi Waves, turning them into chrome husks. If memory serves me, we run into Stand Users with the same problem."

Asahi said, "You're right. Only it was when we were in Egypt. You were unable to go."

"I know… But we ran into someone like that before."

Asahi nodded, as she thought, "Of course. Ran Kuzuryu… former Real Ninja Operative, now deceased. Miki Naoki destroyed her, after her Stand, Money Cash, took innocent victims, and turned them into gold coins. But it can't be Oka. I saw her plummet to her death, after we stopped her Euphoria ring."

They watched on, as they worried about Yang. Mizuki said, "I just can't believe we were too late. Yang… She's…" Asahi stated, "Don't say that! She's not dead. We'll do what we can to save her."

Mizuki nodded and said, "Right."

SMASH!
A window broke, as they gasped. Asahi cried, "WHAT WAS THAT?" Glass flew down, and Mizuki pulled her away. The shards missed them completely. "What the hell was that?" Asahi shrieked.

Mizuki said, "It's coming from the lab!"

Asahi gasped, "NO! YANG!"

Mizuki yelled, "COME ON!"

They rushed back in, heading to the lab.

XXXXX

Zina was ambushed by a woman in dark skin, wearing a yellow bodysuit. She was holding a katana and said, "This one wants answers. Where's Yang Xiao Long?"

Zina groaned, as she was in pain, "You can't take her. She's under World Agency protection."

"This one doesn't believe you…"

Asahi barked, "Well, this one says you're under arrest! World Agency! Hands up!" She and Mizuki arrived. The woman snarled, "I see… You were after Yang Xiao Long…" They prepared to fight, as she said, "Unfortunately, you forgot about me – This one is called Viper."

Mizuki revved her chrome fists and said, "We're protecting her! FROM YOU!" She charged at her, but the woman swatted her down, easily. She hissed, "All too easy."

Asahi gasped, "What the–? Zina, what's–?"

"Shush!" She grabbed Zina, and used a device to nab her Bodhi Waves. Zina screamed, and she was reduced to a gynoid husk.

"Not again!" Asahi winced. Mizuki hollered, "BASTARD!"

"I win!" She vanished, as she took Zina's waves, while cackling. Viper escaped.

Asahi and Mizuki went to Zina's body. Asahi sobbed and said, "No good… Why? Why did this happen?" She punched the floor, and she seethed, "You bitch! You would harm Yang, but Lady Zina? You've gone too far!"

Mizuki said, "It's alright. The important thing is Yang's alright. Look." Mizuki has Yang's gynoid husk, and she responded, "See? It's weird. She'd go after Yang, but it seems Zina hid her from plain sight. Plus… would she try to take a husk?"

Asahi growled, "What difference does it make? That little bitch stole her Bodhi Waves!"

Mizuki yelled, "LISTEN TO ME! OKA! IS! DEAD! YOU KILLED HER!"

Asahi was torn, and Mizuki said, "Look… There's nothing we can do now. Yang… She's our primary task. We can return to World Agency and–."

"No need. I saw everything." Chase Craver appeared and said, "I was too late. Zina is dead…"

"Not really." Asahi said. "Who are you?"

"Charles Craver, but friends call me Chase. At your service, ladies." He said, "I see you have two sex dolls?"

"Husks." Mizuki said, "This is Yang."

"I see she was turned. But Zina… Can I?"

"You may." Asahi said.

They stepped back, as Chase examined her. "Hard as iron… and such firmness, shape, and sexual charm… It's like she's a literal work of–."

"STOP FONDLING HER, YOU PERVERT!" Mizuki yelled. Asahi cried, "Please! Let him do his work! Maybe he'll help us revive Yang, as well!"

Chase responded, "Oh, I'm sorry… But the waves are long gone. But I do know where Yang's Bodhi Waves are, for a price…" He winked, as Asahi huffed, "No, thanks. Mizuki, we're leaving."

They walked off, as he said, "Okay, but if you walk away, you'll never revive Yang. I happen to know where her Bodhi Waves are." Asahi stopped, as she asked, "You do?"

Mizuki stated, "I don't trust him. You saw what he did to Zina, rubbing his paws on her boobs!"

Asahi said, "I know. He's a dirty pig. But he knows more about this crisis than I do." She offered to help, "Asahi Sakurai, World Agency Leader." She extended her hand, and they shook hands, "If you can bring Yang back, I'll overlook your dirty behavior."

"I'm no perv. I'm a gentleman." He said, "Besides, I was on the hunt for those ladies, anyway."

Mizuki said, "Who was that woman, where did she work for, and don't say it's for sex!"

"That woman is part of a Secret Society. A group of agents from the underground. They go by code names, because they have no identity. They are superhuman, because they're not human at all. The problem is… no one knows what they are. Only a few knew, yet they perished."

Asahi asked, "A secret society? An underground organization. Just who are they? And why do they want Yang?" Mizuki added, "And Team RWBY, of course."

Chase said, "That, I do not know. You said one of them siphoned her Bodhi Waves, and she's a sex doll now?"

Asahi said, "We met someone like her. She has the ability to suck the waves out of her victims, turning them into these. But we were able to stop her. Thing is… her ability is ongoing. In other words, she's still alive."

Mizuki responded, "Or… She could be dead, and someone is using her abilities to turn women into mannequins."

Chase grinned, "I see… I mean, uh… Well, it's not what you think, but I have been on the hunt for these ladies, for so long. What was her name?"

"Oka Kazamatsuri." Asahi said, "She was a ninja that created a drug made of Australium. It affected almost the entire populace, including robots. We were able to stop her drug, and she was killed in the process. Only…"

Mizuki added, "Her factory was destroyed, with her in it. It's bizarre if she did survive, to withstand the explosion. But I doubt I can believe it…" She added, "I was a victim of her Stand…"

Asahi said, "Mizuki became a husk, only we were able to save her."

He said, "Sorry I asked. Anyways, I'll handle Zina and this place, you handle Yang's problem. And don't worry, you have an ally on your si–."
"No, thank you." Asahi bluntly said, "You do you, and we'll handle this ourselves. Just protect Zina and Obnubi."

Chase said, "I was only trying to help. Besides, you're like an idol from heaven, in your body…" he approached her and said, "I mean, show me your body, and I'll leave you alone. You're a perfect woman… after all." Asahi cried, as Chase pawed onto her, "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Mizuki seethed, and she launched a massive right to Chase.
KAPOW!
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OUR BOSS, YOU PERVERT!"

CRASH!
He crashed down, and Asahi sighed, "Thanks… He's got a mind of his own…"

"Where? Up there or down there? Asshole!" She took Yang and marched off. Asahi sighed and said, "See, this is why I don't like hanging with perverted creeps."

They walked off, as Chase groaned, "Dammit… Always like this. They'll regret rejecting. But still…" He smiled, as he picked Zina up, "Come along, Zina… my dear."

XXXXX

Outside, Mizuki & Asahi were on their way back to World Agency, as Mizuki snarled, driving off, "What an asshole! I can't believe he tried to help us!"

Asahi was in the front seat and she said, "Well, forget it. We have Yang Xiao Long. However, finding her Bodhi Waves is difficult. I just wonder how the others are doing."


Peter, Cassandra, and January were walking, only to stop. "Where's Riho?" Cassandra asked.

Peter said, "Crap! She must've got lost! Or her battery died."

Riho ran to the others, "HERE I AM!" She ran, as she was heading to them, "It's okay! I'm here!"

Peter barked, "Where the hell have you been?"

"Sorry, but I just couldn't let you guys overlook Blake Belladonna. I had a conversation with her, and she… well…" Riho was sad, as she said, "It's… She is willing to help, but only if we locate Yang Xiao Long. Then she'll assist us."

Cassandra nodded, "And Mizuki & Asahi are at Obnubi. We should contact them."

Peter said, "No can do. Like I said, this is a Dead Zone. No Wi-Fi, no radio, nothing."

Riho asked, "So, we're stranded?"

He said, "No…" His mouth breathed black and said, "But we are staying here for a while." Cassandra gasped, "An enemy!"

They prepared, as Riho gasped, "Wait… So we're–." Peter cried, "Riho, stand your ground!"

January aimed, "Just who is it?"

They waited, as a woman with brown hair in a green bodysuit appeared. "Ahhhh, this one is amazed. Blake Belladonna is here. And you led me to her… What fools!"

January gasped, "This one?" Riho gasped, "Hive Mind Control!"

Peter called out, "Who the hell are you? And what do you want with Blake."

"This one has no name. Simply put, I'm an operative for the Secret Society… and to answer your question of who I am, this one's simply of no identity or name. But since we're going to go with a creative namesake, you can just call this one… … …Fio."

"Fio?" Cassandra gasped, "As in Fiona?"

Peter glared, "Good grief… just what we didn't want!"

Riho said, "Watch yourself. This woman is deadly… Vital signs, very high."

He said, "We'll have to dent her enough to stop her!"

Fio charged at them, and Cassandra and January fought back. Fio hit a swinging fist to Cassandra, but she ducked, and she hit her with a combo of kicks. She was pushed back, and January stepped in, hitting her with a right and a left to the face. Fio tossed her over her shoulder, and punched down hard. January rolled out of the way, and Peter stepped in, landing a lariat to her head. Fio landed on her knees, and dashed at him, using all-fours. Peter punched at her, but she deflected each shot. She pushed him aside, and landed a kick to his face. He falls down.

Riho stepped forward, and used her light sword to fight back, but Fio armed herself with an energy blade. They clashed, and they let out sparks from their swords. Riho ducked a slash, but was swept down. Cassandra landed a flying kick, knocking Fio off her. They exchanged punches and kicks, and Fio slashed at Cassandra's chest. She dropped down in pain. Peter and January charged in, and they fought hard, only Fio was able to stop them. She hit Peter in the face, and hit a palm strike to January's ribs. Peter was lambasted with a double punch, and then a barrage of punches. She finishes him with a left roundhouse.

Riho moaned, "Who is she?" Cassandra groaned, "My god… She's a maniac."

They prepared, as Fio smiled, "How pathetic. And you were so strong. No one takes Blake from us."

Peter growled, "Full power! LET'S GO!" He unleashed his Darkness Devil, and went after her. His spirit slashed at Fio, but she backflipped away, avoiding the talons.

Cassandra was stunned, but she couldn't transform. She couldn't. She was scared. January said, "Cassie, you have Android Fool! Go! Save Peter!"

Cassandra was shaken, as she still remembered her Last Resort move on Cinder Fall. She bowed her head, and she whispered, "I… I can't…"

"You can't? He's getting his ass kicked!"

"I'M SCARED! I powered down, after using my biggest attack, back at Central City, and that was only on Low Power! If it were Full Power, I'd die!" Cassandra protested. She wept, "Something's wrong with me!"

January whispered, "Cassie, have you been maintained? You did get repaired, once in a while."

"I'm only half-human… and Neilsen and my brother were the only fixer-uppers to my–. What are you saying? Did they do something wrong?"

"I don't think so… Nielsen fixed me, and I'm alright." She beeped and glitched, "Alright. –lright. –lright."

Cassandra was worried, as she was upset, "No… I just can't risk myself again… Not after what happened. Steven & Mundy hate each other, and I'm breaking down… January, just… Just fix me."

January said, "How can I? I'm not a technician!"

"But I'm NOT like you! I was half-human, half-machine! I'm not you!"

January said, "You rest… I'll handle this."

Peter called out, "Cassandra, a little help here!" He was helpless, as he was unable to land a scratch on her. Fio laughed, as she said, "You think this one will fall to you, giant man?"

Riho cried, "Assist!" she swung down, as Peter cried, "Uh, Cassandra!" He was shoved down.

Riho and Fio clashed, as January shook her head to Peter. He asked, "Cassandra, what's wrong?"

Cassandra was hurt, but she didn't say a word. January explained it to him, and he was shocked. He asked, "Cassandra, it's not true! You're alright. You're in working condition."

"How am I?" Cassandra cried. She walked off, and she ran away. "CASSANDRA!" Peter & January yelled.

Riho gasped, and Fio kicked her down. Fio cried, "DIE!" She swung hard.

SLASH!
Blake appeared, and she used Gambel Shroud to stop Fio's attack. Fio was pushed back, and she snarled, "At last, you came."

Blake roared, "I'LL KILL YOU!" she slashed down on Fio, but she was mildly nicked. She twirled around, and fired her weapon at Fio. She dodged the attacks, and Blake gasped, "What? Is she–?"

Fio grinned, as she cackled demonically, seeing a scar over the left end of her mouth. Blake growled, "Damn… She's not–."

Peter cried, "Riho, find Cassandra! Everyone else, RUN!" they ran off, as Fio chased after them.

Blake ran with Peter and January, as Riho went to find Cassandra. Blake slashed downwards, and disappeared into a black portal. She reemerged, and landed on Fio's shoulders. Blake cried, "It's me she wants! GO! FIND YANG!"

Fio growled, "GOTCHA!"

January yelled, "NOOOOOOOOO!" She fired at Fio, but the bullets bounced off of her, only denting her body. Blake got out of the way. Fio escaped, and she snarled, "DAMN YOU!" she swiftly ran off, and Blake moaned, "My god…" She wept, "Yang…"

Peter went to her and said, "I told you. We're on your side." He offered his hand, and Blake held it. She got up and said, "Thank you. But I can handle things myself… only… I am happy that you're protecting the others. Are Ruby & Weiss okay? Yang… on the other hand…"

January asked, "Is that a robot arm?"

Blake said, "Oh, this? It's Yang's arm. She lost the old one, after Beacon Academy was attacked."

January gagged, "A prosthetic?" Peter sighed, "Thought so."

XXXXX

Riho located Cassandra, and she said, "There you are."

Cassandra was hurt, as she was shaken. "You don't have to worry about Fio. She's gone."

"I am a failure." Cassandra sobbed, "I didn't even help… I was worried about my own life."

"It's okay. Mizuki Takase will fix you. She may find the problem…"

Cassandra smiled, "Gracias, amiga. And I'm sorry."

Riho hugged her and said, "It's alright." Cassandra was saddened, knowing that she remembered what happened that day.

On the plus side, Blake Belladonna is convinced to join The Gang, however… She is not satisfied, until Yang comes back.
Only…


Mizuki & Asahi returned to World Agency, and Yang was placed on a table. Mizuki said, "There… Now we hope the others come back."

Asahi said, "And soon."

They strapped Yang down, and Asahi got contact. She called, "Yes? Ah, Miki. What? Mundy's gone AWOL? Walked out after we got Ruby? Tell him, my office, first thing!" She hung up, and got another contact, "Hello? Ah, Kim! Absolutely not! I didn't remember getting you spare clothes! Also… I think I goofed when I–. LOOK! Find something to wear from a store, and don't bother me!" She hung up, and she sighed. She got contact again, as she huffed, "Yes? What is it? Oh, Peter? No… I will not send a vehicle to pick you up. And how did you get contact in a Dead Zone? There was civilization, west from there? Just get Blake out of there." she hung up again.

Mizuki said, "Was it the others?"

Asahi nodded, "They have Ruby, Weiss, and Blake convinced!"

"Mission complete!"

"Not quite. The only problem is… We want Weiss to say YES."

XXXXX

"ME?! President of Earth? Absolutely not!" Weiss cried, "You know me too well! I'm… I'm a bad person."

Farra stated, "I know… We know your background, but our old President is retiring, and we needed someone of your caliber to help the Free Planet."

Kim said, "Not to mention that you are not like your father. I, too, was once like you… only Father apologized for his dirty crime."

"But I'm NOT like you. My Father hated the Faunus. He used them for his dust mines in Atlas, just to keep the company going."

"What the hell's a Faunus?" Farra grumbled. "Can someone throw me a fucking bone?"

Weiss stated, "I'll ignore that. Anyways, Jacques Schnee was a terrible man. And I wanted to run SDC my way! And what did Father do? Stripped me of my heiress title, which I DON'T WANT ANYMORE, because of his corrupt actions! He gave it to Whitley, until Whitley was stripped of his heir title, after Jacques was caught!"

Jace asked, "Who's Whitley?" Weiss answered, "My brother. And after Atlas and Mantle was destroyed, I had no home to go to. It's all gone… I always fear that day, and I'm… I'm without a home. And then, Ruby, Blake, and Yang… They all… They all abandoned me, suddenly. Ruby was being torn over personal issues, Blake is just being her moody self, and Yang just vanished."

Kim whispered, "I'm so sorry."

Weiss sighed, as she broke her voice, "Everything was going my way… when Father was caught… My team drifted apart, and Penny… She… Jaune tried to help, when–."

"Who's Penny?" Jace asked. "And who's Jaune?"

Kim stated, "It's best not to overthink things, babe. Miss Weiss, I'm sorry about your past. But this is a new step for you."

Farra responded, "She's right. Weiss Schnee deserves a second chance. After all, the Schnee Family may be hated amongst this world and Remnant, but there are people that still respect your name. Not because of Jacques, but because of Weiss. You are that woman… What do you say? Earth Presidency may be your future. Sure, it's not Schnee Dust Company, but–."

Weiss responded, "It's not that. I was an heiress… I had everything. My grandfather was a hero, and my father was a criminal. I was a citizen of a dead country. And I'm heir to nothing. I can't have everything given back by force, or for no good reason. There are times when you wanted to earn it. Because I'm more than just a name!" She bowed her head and said, "And that's why… I refuse. I can't be President. I'm sorry."

She turned away, and Kim stated, "You… You white-haired bitch!"
SLAP!
She slapped her, and Kim yelled, "YOU'RE JUST GOING TO QUIT, AND SAY NO TO US? Look at me! My father was a crooked man, and all because he wanted to keep his image! Now, after he was exposed, and I was in prison, he sacrificed everything, just for his forgiveness!"

"STAND DOWN!" Farra hollered, "KIM, YOU'RE GOING TOO FAR!" Jace added, "She's right! It's only going to make things worse!"

Weiss felt her face, as Kim was furious. She said, "How would you feel, if you were in my shoes? I was in prison… You were in despair over your precious Atlas! Would Jacques Schnee put you in prison, for a crime you didn't commit? Would my father strip me of my title as heiress, and rig an election for financial gain? HOW WOULD THAT FEEL?"

Weiss whispered, "You… You were…"

"I was a prisoner… until I was pardoned. Because I knew people would forgive me, too. My Mom died in prison, and my Father was a scumbag, until he found it in his heart to apologize to me. I believed in hope, but when I was a prisoner, all I believed was there was no faith for me. Would you be the same, if you were in my shoes?" Kim was in tears, as she and Weiss stared down.

Weiss said, "I don't think you'd understand me. I am NOT like Father… and I'm not your father, either. But… I needed that. You realized that… I'm alone. But I want someone by my side. I just… I just missed Ruby. And the others…" She sat down and bowed her head, "I missed them… When I was young, I wanted to be leader, and that failed… I wanted to team with the great Pyrrha Nikos, and she died… Nothing went my way… but Ruby Rose made me who I am. And I missed her." She sobbed, and bawled, hands on her face.

Farra grumbled, "She's such a crybaby… at her age."

Jace stated, "We're just lucky she didn't sic her multi-personality butler on us."

Klein replied, "You will forgive Miss Weiss." His eyes were purple, "She's… Very lonely. I was all she had… and…" His eyes went blue, and he sneezed, "ACHOO! ACHOO! Sorry… Every time I had bad memories, I–, ACHOO! ACHOO! ACHOO!"

Farra barked, "Jesus, cover your damn mouth! We went through a pandemic, you know!"

Weiss was crying, as Kim was feeling heartbroken. She said, "Come on… Let's go." Jace asked, "Wait, she says NO?" Kim said, "If we won't convince her, she'll… well… … … I say give her time."

They walked off, as Weiss called out, "WAIT!" she asked, "I, uh… … … I want to know. Are you really looking for my friends?"

Farra nodded, "Yes, but we're just still trying to gather them, as a way to convince you to join our cause."

Weiss smiled, wiping her tears, and she said, "Then… Klein, show them out. I'll think about it." Klein was sleeping, standing up, as Farra grumbled, "Oh, for fuck's sake…"

Jace was astonished, "What is he, a dwarf?"

Weiss giggled, as she said, "Sorry… Klein has a habit. His eyes change color, depending on his personality." She snapped her fingers, and Klein woke up. "OH! Uh… My goodness, I must've nodded off again."

"Klein, escort them out of my home. I have to think about their offer. I'm flattered, but… I'll put it under consideration."

Klein nodded, "Very well. Shall we?" He escorted them away, as Farra said, "Thank you for the hospitable visit." Kim added, "She meant hospitality." Farra concluded, "We'll keep in touch."

Weiss waved, and then sighed, "Earth President… What is better? Heiress to SDC, or President of a Planet…" She thought about it, feeling her cheek.

Outside, Kim said, "Sorry if my actions were uncalled for, but someone had to let it out."

Farra said, "You did right. Now, we have to get contact from Asahi."

Kim said, "Well, I called her, yesterday about the spare clothes, but… She said NO. and our clothes were brought back. Sorry about yours."

Jace said, "Yeah. Where'd you get the threads?"

Weiss responded, "I gave it to her." They gasped, as Weiss was the front door. "It was a gift. And you can keep them, Farra." She added, "And as for your offer… I'm in." She smiled, "I like the offer, as long as Team RWBY is back together… thanks to you."

Farra smirked, "I like it." Jace nodded, "Looks like we managed to finish off the mission!"

Weiss said to Kim, "Hey, Miss Cheonsa… Thanks." she shook her hand, as Kim smiled, "Call me Kim. And you're welcome."


The Gang returned to World Agency, after a successful mission. Miki returned, as she was with Ruby. She gasped, "Whoa… This is World Agency?"

Miki said, "It's roomy. But it's our office."

"Amazing… Almost like Ace-Ops." Ruby said.

Weiss appeared, as Ruby saw her. She squealed, "WEISS?!"

She dashed at her and hugged her, "WEISS!" Weiss gagged, "AGH! R-Ruby! Let go!"

"Sorry!" Ruby was giddy, "I can't believe you came!"

Farra, Jace, and Kim appeared, as Farra said, "I see you were successful."

Jace asked, "What happened to Mundy & Steven?"

Miki bowed her head and was sad. Ruby said, "Apparently, they didn't want to come back. After Mundy left, Steven Cooke chose to stay behind, as well." Miki responded, "They… They just can't get along."

Weiss asked, "How did it happen? Was it that freak in the blue catsuit that attacked us?"

Ruby said, "No, it was a red catsuit."

Blake appeared, "You're both nuts! It was a green catsuit–! Ruby? Weiss?"

Peter, January, & Riho arrived with Blake. Peter said, "Guys, we were ambushed."

They all gasped, as Ruby gasped, "You, too?" Weiss was shaken, "No…"

Blake sniffled, "Guys…" She hugged them, as they shared an emotional hug. The rest were watching, as Riho said, "It's incomplete. Where's Yang?"

Peter said, "Mizuki said that she has Yang in her lab. She's with Cassandra, making repairs on her."

"For Yang?"

"For Cassandra!" Peter barked. Farra asked, "What happened to Cassie?!" He said to her, "You should tell her. She just couldn't fight. That moment in Central City, she…"

Farra stated, "Come on! There's no way that Cassandra would waste her energy, like that. But I'll tell you something else. Cinder Fall is a crazed lunatic, and she drove a wedge on Steven and Oscar. NO WAY IN HELL I'M IGNORING CASSIE'S CALAMITY!"

Peter cried, "Cassandra was scared! That low energy blow to Satsuki Kiryuin shorted her circuits! And Cassandra feared she may die!"

Ruby cried, "JUST A MINUTE!" They stopped, as Ruby asked, "Cinder? As in Cinder Fall?" She, Blake, & Weiss were shaken, as The Gang and others said, "Whoops…"

Blake asked, "Where's Yang? She at the lab?" he said, "I'll bring you to her." Blake ran off, "YAAAAAAANG!" Ruby & Weiss followed, as Peter halted the rest. "NO!"

Kim asked, "But we wanna see!" Miki said, "What happened to Yang Xiao Long?"

He seethed, as he said, "Asahi… She saw what happened at Obnubi. Zina was ambushed by a woman in a yellow catsuit." They all gasped, as Farra cried, "By the same… skin-tight catsuit… Did they speak as This one?" He nodded, as Miki added, "The same thing happened, when we went to get Ruby! They call themselves The Secret Society."

Peter stated, "According to Mizuki and Asahi, they are superhuman beings from an underground organization. They're not human, but no one knows their true form."

Farra whispered, "Dear god…"

Riho asked, "So, we were all ambushed by the same organization. It's like…" January said, "They knew about us from the start."

Jace responded, "I don't think so. Someone came to our aid, but he was no help." Kim said, "This guy, Chase Craver. He actually came for our assistance, only… he wasn't that strong, plus, he was a pervert."

January whispered, "Unbelievable…"

Riho responded, "But what now? What happened to Yang?" Peter bowed his head and said, "I didn't mention this to Team RWBY, but… I can't say…"

XXXXX

Blake was crying, as she was over Yang's husk. Asahi was there, as she said, "I'm sorry, ladies. When we learned about Yang's location, we had no idea. We're sorry."

Ruby sniffled, "Sis…"

Weiss sniffled, "Can you bring her back?"

Asahi said, "Well, it's a tough job… but finding her Bodhi Waves is difficult. I can't promise that she'll be back."

Blake whispered, "Just… Just come back… Yang!" She sniffled, as she held her arm, "Here… This is for you… Yang…" She attached her arm back, and then kissed her chrome lips. Blake wept, "Goodbye, Yang…"

Blake sobbed, as Ruby hugged her, "She's not gone. She's not gone… My sister can't be gone…"

Asahi said, "It's alright. Miss Schnee, I presume? Will you let us save Yang?"

Weiss nodded, "Do what you must… as long as you bring Yang back."

Asahi smiled, "I'll try." As they left the lab, a bright light shone onto Yang's doll husk. Her body engulfed in light, and Blake stopped. Blake was sobbing, "Yang?"

Her body suddenly changed color, and she returned to normal, in her brown attire. Yang's hair was wavy and long, and her purple eyes lit up. She gasped, as she sat up, "AGH! Ohhh… What happened?"

Ruby cringed, "Y-Yang?"

Yang looked around. She asked, "Ruby? Weiss? Wait, where am–?"

Blake tackled her down, and she hugged her tight. She whispered, "Yang…" Yang hugged Blake, as she was happy to return. Team RWBY was back together.

Weiss sobbed, "It's a miracle…" They hugged each other, as they reunited. Asahi thought, as she was amazed, "NO way… Yang's back. That arm Blake had. The Bodhi Waves must've traveled inside her, and Blake was holding onto it. This was the miracle we've been looking for."

Ruby sniffled, "I'm so glad you're back. I missed you…" Yang said, "Yeah. Things, uh, didn't go well… Did it?"

Asahi said, as she went to them, "Ladies… Welcome to New York. If you don't know who I am, I'm the one that brought you here together… I'm Asahi Sakurai, leader of World Agency. And I have a task for you."

Yang asked, "Eh? What's going on here?" Ruby said, "It's a lot, but… We'll explain, once we meet together. OH! Plus, Weiss is running for President!" Team WBY gasped in shock, as Weiss yelled, "RUBY!"

Asahi groaned, "Ugh… There goes the surprise." Ruby blushed, "Eh-he-he-he-he… Sorry." Asahi said, "This isn't Remnant, you know. And you're not in Kansas, anymore, either."

Ruby asked, "So… What do we know about Cinder?" They paused, as she said, "Your friend mentioned her, back in Central City."

Asahi nodded, "Yeah… We wanted to keep it from you, but I see you girls have a history."

Yang said, "More or less."

Asahi said, "Okay. Come with me. I'll explain everything, fully." Team RWBY and Asahi left the lab. But Ruby suddenly had a troubling dilemma. She stayed behind, feeling unsure.

"I can't tell them about Neo… Neo's here, too." She thought. She sighed and walked off, joining the rest.
