Stepping out of the train, I stretched my arms as I had my suitcase following behind me. "Finally!" I said, popping a few bones. "That train ride was over due to end, if only the train didn't get hijacked." I said, rolling my arms as I started walking. As I walked, I looked up at the floating city above. "Well, that's probably going to be the coolest thing I'll see." I said, crossing my arms as I looked up.
"I would hope so." I heard, with me tensing up. Looking forward, I took notice to a large group of robots surrounding me. Setting the suitcase down, I reached for my weapon, with the robots clearing a path for an older man wearing a white suit. "Easy, I was asked by Glynda to pick you up." She said, with me turning on the saber, with his eyes narrowing as I pointed it at him.
"Last I heard, you two were on bad terms, you just don't get the hint, do you." I said, getting ready to fight. "She's not interested!" I said, with all of the robots taking aim at me, with me looking at each and every one of them.
"Salutations!" I heard, with me spinning around and looking at a girl in green and red hair standing right behind me. I was confused as I didn't sense her, and I had the ability to feel the aura of everyone. Turning off my saber, I got up into her face, with me examining her. She kept her smile on, not bothered by how close I was to her. She had weird green eyes, robotic even. "You seem to be confused!" She said, with me grabbing her face and pinching her cheek. "Is this how you tell everyone hello?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
"You're not... Human." I said, with her eyes widening a bit then her smile changed to that of nervous. "Not a Faunus either, you're reactions don't match up with either of them." I said, rubbing my chin as I opened her eye up all the way. "Your eyes are like camera lenses, that must mean that you're mechanical, but more advanced, an A.I., or maybe a remote controlled robot?" I asked, with someone grabbing my head and then holding me up. "Seriously James, I'm trying to figure out this girl!" I said, with James Ironwood turning me to face him.
"That's impressive, but also classified information." He said, with me crossing my arms. "Glynda didn't tell me that you were such the detective." He said, with me smirking.
"Apparently she didn't tell you about my aura sensing ability." I said, with him narrowing his eyes. "Everyone has aura, even a slim of it. She doesn't have any, so that can only mean one of two things. She's an alien, or she's a robot." I said, with him pinching his nose.
"Lets go." James said, walking off with me still being held by him. "Penny, take his bag to his hotel room." He said, with me seeing her walking beside us with my bag right behind her. "We have a long day ahead of us." He said, making me groan.
Later
"Well, better than front row seats." I said, my arms crossed and feet on the railing in front of me. James and Penny were on both my left and right, and James was looking at me in disappointment. "I need to relax, I was on a train that was robbed and committed murder killing the ones who were behind it, don't judge me." I said, with the curtains pulling back, reviling a beautiful girl in all white dress with her hair tied in a pony tail that came off the side of her head. 'Never mind.' I thought, taking my feet off the railing and leaning forward, looking at her.
"Mirror, Tell me something.
Tell me, whos the loneliest, Of all?
Mirror, Tell me something.
Tell me, whos the loneliest, Of all?
Mirror, What's inside me?
Tell me, can a heart be turned, to stone?"
"Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Schnee dust company." James said, smirking as he looked at me. "Seems someone might have gotten there heart stolen." He said, with me glaring at him.
"As if." I said, listening to the sound of the music. I looked back at the stage, with me frowning as the lights didn't seem right. They weren't focused on her, they were aimed at her yes, but she wasn't in the center like she was supposed to be. "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I said, standing up and walking away.
"Hurry up, you're going to miss the song!" Penny said, waving at me as I went to the door. As I walked, I looked up and saw what looked like a fight in the rafters. Using my aura, I lifted myself up there. Landing on the rafters, the group looked at me, with me pulling put my saber and turning it on, with them charging at me. I cut them down, killing them before they could cause a scene. Looking at the guards where were up here, they looked to be dead. Looking at the lights, I saw a book that was being held up.
Looking at it, it was a list on what the lights should be doing during what part of the song. Seeing as they were dead, I had to be the one who had to take control of the lights. "Not only that, but I'm the only one who can do all of this." I muttered, using my aura to follow the steps that the book told.
"Mirror, Mirror, What's behind you?
Save me from the things I see!
I can keep it from the world!
Why wont you let me hide from me?
Mirror, Tell me something.
Whos the loneliest Of all?
I'm the loneliest of all..."
"Ok, that means the end." I said, seeing the curtains close, with me seeing some guards climbing up. 'Better get out of here.' I thought, Running to the other end and jumping off. Once on ground level, I took notice of a section that was empty. Walking over to it, I saw that the guests who were over here were knocked out, with me narrowing my eyes. Looking around, I saw that the path lead back stage, with me heading over there.
"Excuse me, none of you are supposed to be here!" I heard, with me looking behind the curtain. Weiss Schnee was talking down to a group of people, who pulled out guns and took aim at her. Using my aura, I ripped the guns away, with them looking at the guns as they hovered in the air.
"Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you all to leave, now." I said, shoving them into the other, knocking them all out. "Sorry, but I'll be taking them out the back, trash, you know?" I asked, dragging them with me, ignoring Weiss as the curtains opened up again as I left.
"Who am I to complain?
My life's been speared so much pain.
Born with all that I need.
My comforts all guaranteed.
So what's the problem? What's keeping me.
From moving forward? Its hard to see.
I should be free now. I should be fine.
But the life I fought for still isn't mine.
Some believe in fairy stories.
And the ghosts that they cant see.
I know that I can do so much.
If I could just believe in me.
Mirror, Tell me something.
Can I stop my fall?
Years of scorn will leave you cold.
Forget your dreams, do what you're told.
When disapproval is all you're shown.
The safest place becomes alone.
And Isolations the price you pay.
And every friendship is pushed away.
But bit by bit now, a step each day.
I'm slowly starting to find my way.
Some believe in fairy stories.
And the ghosts that they cant see.
I know that I can do so much.
If I could just believe in me.
Mirror, Mirror, I'll tell you something.
I think I might change it all."
Even as I walked out back, the music reached my ears. Tossing them forward, I narrowed my eyes at them. I zapped them, with them screaming awake. "Now that I have you attention, who hired you to attack that Schnee girl?" I asked, with them looking at me. They showed me there mouths, with me seeing that they were missing there tongues. "Revan." I said, with them nodding. "If you cant answer me, you must be apart of her personal squad, the Darth Squadron. Rumor has it, that there should be at least one commander, which one of you is it?" I asked, with them smirking. "None of you, which means, he's still inside." I said, with them looking at the other then looking down in disappointment. "Not my fault you're easy to read." I said, turning around and heading back inside.
"Mirror, Can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?
There's a part of me that's desperate for changes?
Tired of being treated like a pawn, there's a part of me that stares back.
From inside the mirror, part of me that scared I might be wrong
That I...
Cant...
Be...
Strong!"
Reaching the stage once more, I saw someone walking on from the other side. Narrowing my eyes at them, I recognized the mask that he wore.
No.
That she wore.
I watched as two sabers turned on. A purple and a red one saber. She ended up putting her red saber away, with me gritting my teeth at the disrespect. Running forward, I jumped over Weiss, who looked at me in shock as I turned my saber on, blocking both of her sabers before Revan could kill her. "Sorry, keep going!" I said, blocking the strikes that she threw at me.
Seeing an opening, I pushed her back with my aura, with her fighting back against it. She started her attack again, with us getting moved across the stage, Weiss moving around to get away from us while singing. Once we got off stage, she elbowed me, pushing me back even further. Getting back into the fight, I elbowed her, with her getting back on stage, where we went at it again.
She pinned my saber on the ground, where she shouldered me away, with me gaining my balance again. Turning around, we started going back at it, with us getting into a lock that neither of us could over power as me moved it around m as she tried to find a way around it. Kicking her back, she flew across the stage, hitting a table. Running across the stage, I jumped at her, with her dodging and kicking me into the wall.
Facing her, I jumped away from her attack, where she cut the wall. She attacked me again, where we locked blades again. She pushed me against me, with me having to step back to get away from her. Hitting the wall, I looked to my right and saw a fire extinguisher. Using her saber to cut it, it got in her face, where she pushed away from me.
Going in for the attack, she blocked the attacks then elbowed me in the face, and once I attacked again, she flipped me over her. She swung her saber down at me, with me dodging out of the way. Rolling back, I prevented her from pulling her saber back and stabbed her in the head with my own. She stood there with my saber in her head, followed by hers turning off.
Letting her fall to the side, I relaxed. "Finally... She's gone." I said, looking at the mask of my sister. 'Still... It was too easy... I need to relax and think.' I thought, closing my eyes as Weiss started singing once again.
"I'm not afraid!
Never standing on my own!
I let you be the keeper of my pride!
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own!
Listen when I say!
I swear it here today!
I will not surrender!
This life is...
Mine!
Amazing how you conquered me!
Chained me in servility, And made me see, the world the way you told me to, but I was young and didn't have a way to know the truth!
Born to live your legacy!
Existing just to fill your needs!
A casulty of this so called family!
That you have turned into a travesty, but I don't intend to suffer any longer!
Heres where your dominion falls apart!
I'm shattering the mirror that kept me split in peices!
That stood between my mind and my heart!
This is where I'll start!
I'm not your pet!
Not another thing you own!
I was not born guilty of your crimes!
Your riches and your influances cant hold me anymore!
I wont be possessed, burdened by your royal test!
I will not surrender, this life is...
mine!
Shame it took so long to rescue me, from the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree!
I guess your training failed, youre not in charge I'm free!
Your patriarchal prison wont hold me!
Now this conversation finally over!
Mirror, mirror, now were done!
I've pulled myself together now, my mind and heart are one!
Finally one!
I'm not your pet!
Not another thing you own!
I was not born guilty of your crimes!
Your riches and your influances cant hold me anymore!
I wont be possessed, burdened by your royal test!
I will not surrender, this life is...
Mine!"
"Dakota!" I heard James, with me opening up my eyes and looking at him, seeing him standing over me. "You ditched just for this!?" He yelled, with me standing up. "You could of warned us, we would of sent back up-"
"And stopped the play, I'm sure Miss Schnee wouldn't of liked that." I said, jerking my thumb at Weiss as she walked over to us.
"Oh, trust me, I would of preferred to get interrupted." Weiss said, crossing her arms as she looked at us.
"Sweet, want to get out of here, piss off your family?" I asked, getting the picture of what she was like. She scuffed, rolling her eyes. "Or not, anyways, I'm done with Glynda's request, going to Atlas to see Weiss's show, I'm going to find an apartment and going to sleep." I said, bowing to them and walking past James, who grabbed my head, preventing me from walking away.
"I'm sorry for his actions, he isn't the most... Responsible but he also has that ticket that puts him on a date with you." James said, with my eyes widening and looking at him.
"The fuck you say?" I asked, pulling out the ticket, then flipping it around, seeing that he was right, I had a dinner date with Weiss Schnee after this. "Great, just great, first that fucking train robbery, then this shit, speaking of which!" I said, using my aura to remove the mask of Revan, with me seeing that it wasn't her. "SON OF A BITCH, I KNEW THAT THIS WAS TOO EASY!?" I yelled, crushing the mask. "Revan is creating an army, and when I find her, I'll kill her!?" I yelled, with James dragging me away, face palming his self.
