Chapter 14 - The cat's out of the bag part 2

"Blake, I want you to meet my friends who were formerly from the Whitefang. Auburn, Rufous, Selena, Lu, Ara, Raven, and Rena." Blake was surprised by this and she looks at the seven Faunus then she looks at Ara but she couldn't find her Faunus heritage, "Wait, she's a former Whitefang member, then where is her animal part?" Sage smiles at her question as he turns his head to Ara and gave her a nod and she nods back, she then activated her semblance as her hair turns white, her eyes turn red, and nine fox tails appeared on her back.

Blake is impressed by her transformation as she then looks at Sage then bluntly said, "She is the only Faunus that can show her features when her Semblance is in use." Blake looks back at Ara as she then said, "My Semblance is Eun, It's like a second soul inside my body, lending me his power and my true form. Not only that, but it also doubles my capabilities." She explained and Blake then nodded as she understands her semblance can do, "Don't forget that your Semblance only lasts a few minutes." Rufous reminded Ara as the nine-tailed Faunus nodded as her response then she deactivates her Semblance as she transforms back to her normal self.

"Speaking of which, Blake. Why did you run away from Beacon? I was looking for you for two days straight." Sage asked as Blake looked down with sadness on her face as she said, "*Sigh* I'm sorry, I just revealed my biggest secret to them and there is no doubt that Weiss will criticize me." Sage just sighed at her story as he puts his hands on his waist then said, "Don't judge too quickly, I said some things to her that it left her speechless so she will understand you, Blake." Blake smiled at Sage and gave him a hug and Sage hugs back. After they let go, Sage pulls out the purple rose and hands it over to Blake, "I wanted to give this to you Blake, their symbolism is often tied to enchantment, wonder, splendor, and mystery." Blake smiles at her little brother figure as she took it and smells it as she then did a contented sigh as she then said, "Thank you, Sage."

"By the way, who's this?" Rufous asked as he pointed his finger at Sun, "My name is Sun Wukong, you must be the one we're looking for, Sage right?" Sun asked as he pointed his finger to Sage and the twelve-year-old just nodded as his response. Just then, a strong gust of wind surprised them, when they cleared their eyes, they saw bullhead landed near the docks and multiple WhiteFang members walked off the aircraft much to everyone's dismay, "Well, speak of the devils." Sonic said.

"Oh no," Blake said.

The seven including Sonic and Shadow had a very angry look on their faces as the Whitefang soldiers began to loot the crates and they heard a voice that they don't want to hear, "HEY! WHAT'S THE HOLDUP?!" A man with orange hair wearing a bowler hat, a white suit and holds a cane in his hand, "Is that who I think it is?"

"Yeah, It's Roman Torchwick," Sonic said with Venom in his voice.

"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?" Roman said.

"This isn't right, The White Fang wouldn't work with a human. At least not one like that." Blake then stood up as she unsheathes the katana from Gambol Shroud, "Hey! What are you doing!?" Sun tried to stop Blake but fell to deaf ears, Sage just face-palms at her actions as he then said, "Ugh, God damn it, Blake." He then jumps off and follows her as his Friends follows him behind, "Wait a minute... Is that guy the...?" Sun tried to say something then the screen switches to Blake hiding behind the giant crate as she then peaked a little to see Roman talking to a Whitefang soldier holding a coil of rope.

"No, you idiot! This isn't a leash!" Then out of nowhere, Blake suddenly appeared behind him and hold her blade to his throat, "Woah! Take it easy there little lady." Blake used her free hand and removes her bow, exposing her cat ears, "Brothers of the Whitefang! Why are you aiding this scum!?" 

"We would also want to know about that!" The Whitefang looked up and saw Sage and the former Whitefang members standing side by side at the top of the crate with their weapons on hand, and back, they then dropped down in front of them as Raven points his blade towards Roman, "Brothers, why are you working with someone like him!?" The Fang lowered their guns confused as to what to do then Roman laughed as he then said, "Oh didn't you get the memo kids? The Whitefang and I are having a joint business venture together."

"Tell us what it is or we will end your little operation." Just then, the wind picks up as it blows wildly around the holdup, "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation." Roman said as everyone looks up and they saw two more bullheads hovering over the heist, the heroes looked up in shock and horror and Roman took the opportunity as he smiles and fires his cane at Blake's feet, causing a big explosion. Sage and the others held their arms to their face while Blake was dazed from the explosion, while Blake was getting up, Roman walked up to her and hits her with the butt of his cane, sending her to the wall. Sage was angered when he saw Roman hurts Blake, "Blake! You bastard!" 

Sage charges at him with anger in his eyes, he grabs Blue Rose's sword form and charges at Roman and attacks him. However, Roman easily deflects all of his swings, "YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!" Roman just laughs at Sage as he grabs his arms and shoots him with his cane, sending him away and Raven caught him, "Thanks, Raven." 

"Do me a favor and don't let your anger consume you," Raven said as he helped Sage stood up and that's when Sonic and Shadow including Sun steps out of the shadows, Roman laughs at their increase in numbers but Rufous and Auburn grabs him by the shoulders then said, "Now you've done it!" They then simultaneously punched him in the chest sending him away. Lu helps Blake stood up as everyone readied up their weapons and Roman stood back up and grabbed his hat and smoothly places it in his head before facing the group.

"Well, if it isn't the Legendary Blue Rose, I knew you'd look familiar now it's time to die by my hands!" Roman said as the group of heroes and Whitefang members including Roman prepares for combat, black lightning made out of pure darkness flashed in the sky catching everyone's attention, the lightning strikes as it hits one of the bullheads causing it to crash, and three more strikes down in the distance and when it died down, it reveals some Shadow demons emerged from the ground.

(30 Shadow walkers)

(30 Shadow Chargers)

(30 Shadow Defenders)

(4 Shadow Masters)

"You've got to be kidding me?" Sage said as he deeply sighed out of annoyance, "Alright, change of plans, Blake, you and Sun handle the WhiteFang while the others and I handle these guys." Shadow said as Chaos energy emitted from his hands, Sonic has blue energy on his hands, Rena had her hand opened as a green light appeared and it formed into her bow, Ara got into her stance, Rufous and Auburn wore their gauntlets, Raven adjusts his android arm and unsheathes his blade, and Sage held out his hand as blue rose petals came from seemingly out of nowhere as it forms into the shape of his scythe then it exploded as the weapon itself appeared from his hand and grabs it as he then twirls it around and places it on his shoulder indicating that he is ready to fight.

The Shadow demons roared at the heroes indicating that the fight is about to begin, "Let's get this party started!" Sage and Sonic said simultaneously said.

(Play this.)

Sonic and Shadow ran towards the Shadow Masters. Auburn, Rufous, Lu, Selena, Sage, Rena, Ara, and Raven took care of the Shadow Demons.

Sonic homing attacks towards one of the Shadow Masters as he catches it off guard and kills it in one shot. Shadow fires a Chaos spear on one of the Shadow Masters and it pierces through the chest, leaving a hole on its chest then it caused a delayed explosion, the two remaining Shadow Masters are smart enough to not underestimate the two as they prepared an attack and Sonic and Shadow prepared themselves for what's going to happen next.

Rufous leaps from boxes to boxes, and he stopped only for a Shadow Charger popped on his face, catching him off guard as the Shadow monster smashes his fists on Rufous and he uses his gauntlets as a shield then struggling against the Shadow Charger "UP HERE!!" The voice of Lu was heard as Rufous saw her fires a fireball at the monster and Rufous gets out of the Way, "What are you doing Running in obstinately like that?!"

Then he said, "I didn't think they'd be this much of a headache." As he said that four more demons surrounded, "We're surrounded." Lu said with slight worry on her voice, "Don't worry, I can break through this much easier." Rufous said as he adjusts his gauntlets as it creating lightning, "Here I come!" then he charges to a demon then summons a lightning sword, "Did he even listen to what I said? After I saved his sorry but too! HYA!" She said as she summons fireballs to the demons resulting in them exploding, then the wolf boy slice the fourth demon but suddenly another type of demon appeared behind him he then saw the demon but didn't have time to react. Until a hand appeared making a White glyph appeared and the demon backed off, then it came out was a robot and its clothing is all black, white and gold and on its neck was a collar with a chain as it a spin, it also charges to the demon and slice in two, Selena walked beside Rufous as she then said, "Observe the situation first if you're going to fight." 

"Thanks for the help, Selena." Rufous thanked her as Selena looks at him with a sincere look, "These Demons are far stronger than the Grimms we have fought for quite a while."

Raven hand slides using his robot arm as he swings his sword making a sword beam and making the three demons explode, then a demon jumped in front of him and another demon jumped right to him and he kicked the demon at his side and slice the demon that jumped right to him and then he uses blind speed as he slashes through multiple demons and when he was done, a delay explosion erupted from the demons as he then scoffs, "Is there no end to them?"

"Watch out!" Rena's voice was heard as he looked up and a demon is about to slam him but a green arrow pierced the demon, "It looks like were their primary targets." Rena stated, "So this is a trap?" Lu assumed and Rena simply said, "Didn't we already anticipated this?" Raven turned his head towards Sage, Ara, and Auburn as he then said, "It looks like those three over there are having fun, to say the least." 

Sage keeps slashing the demons every time he runs past through and the demons had a delayed explosion, he then senses a Shadow defender approaches from behind and Sage jumps up and shoots a rocket-powered bullet at it as it explodes and the explosion from the bullet also killed three more demons, Ara was seen running towards the demons and the Shadow walkers and Chargers tried to attack her but she jumps up and stabs her spear to the ground on the landing and it caused a piercing shockwave and she killed multiple demons. Auburn slashing her way through the demons and she grabs the leg of a Shadow Charger that approaches from behind and jumps up in the air and slams it to the ground, killing it in the process.

The freedom fighters then grouped up after the wave of Shadow Demons are dead another black lightning appeared, summoning...

(100 Empusa)

"I'll take care of this!" Sage said as he then held his hands together as he then chants, "Ka-me-ha-me...HAAAAAAA!!"

After the blast wave has died, the mantis-like demons disintegrated into ashes and ARLSARR are in shock and their jaws are wide open that Sage can do such a thing, "What do you guys think?" Sage asked as he turns around with an innocent smile on his face.

The seven recovered as they then said, "WAIT, WHAT!?" Sage scratches the hack of his nape with a goofy smile on his face as he then said, "My father taught me that." Sonic and Shadow approaches them and said, "Yup, Shadin taught the kid a lot of stuff, not just that energy wave, even flight, teleportation, blinding your opponent, etc. Basically, Sage here is somewhat OP." Sonic explained Sage's capabilities as he nudges his favorite nephew's arm and the others couldn't believe that Sage is holding this much power for a kid like Sage, "Sage, after this, you and I are going to have a talk." Rena told him with an angry smile on her face which made Sage scream internally as he knew he was going to have a serious talk with Rena, Blake, and Sun approached them along with Ruby, Rosetta, and Penny but Roman and the White Fang were nowhere in sight.

"SAGE!!" Sage and the others looked towards Ruby and Rosetta's voice as they tackled Sage into the ground while hugging him, "Hey you two." The three stood up and saw Penny approaching them, "Sage! My friend!" Penny greeted, "Oh, hey Penny!" Blake and Sun approach Sonic and Shadow, "Let me guess, Roman and the Whitefang got away?" Shadow asked as Blake and Sun nodded as Sonic and Shadow sighed and Sonic said, "That's okay, we'll get them next time." 

Suddenly, another black lightning strikes behind stacked shipping containers but it was a little bigger than the others as the smoke is huge as they heard an evil laugh echoing around the entire team then at the top of the big container, and a giant demon with bandages on his hands and legs, "Shall we have some fun?"

"What the heck is that thing?!" Ruby exclaimed as she grabs Cresent Rose, "From what I've heard, his name is Victor, he is the leader of the demons we faced recently, well except the ones that Sage vaporized." Rena explained as Raven then said, "So he made those demons to appear and was waiting for us."

"I sense very powerful energy from that demon. We better be careful." Penny warned them as Rosetta nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we will." Then Victor landed in front of them as he breathed, "This fight is over if we can somehow take care of that guy." Rufous said as he tightens his fists and tightens his grip on the hilt of his lightning sword bolt, "Was his name, Victor? You have to be at least strong to entertain me." Auburn said, "I'll take him on." Lu sighed as she then said, "You siblings are so alike, your brother is already stepping up first." As she said that, Auburn looked at her brother as he charges to Victor, he runs to Victor at amazing speed, he swings his sword at Victor but blocked it, he swings it again and the results are the same, then he back off, "Heh, at least you're quick on your feet." Victor Said. 

"This is just the start! The real fight begins now!" As Rufous says that 2 Energy bullets and 1 energy arrow shot at Victor, he then removes the smoke he was in and said, " It's my turn to attack now!" He said as he cupped his hands, "Take This!" He then smashes his fists to the ground and created a shockwave as a three-directional blast came in contact with one of the crates, Rufous jumps out of the way and slams his sword at Victor but the demon caught it with his hands, "What's the use of being fast?! You can't withstand my strength because you're weak!" His free hand has purple electricity surging as he then said, "You should be!"

"At least!" His foot stomps harder to the ground.

"This strong!" He then punches Rufous away as the wolf Faunus got launched towards one of the crates. Rufous is seen laying on the ground as he is struggling at the pain he endured, his sword stabs itself to the ground and dissipates afterward. Victor then laughs at his doing as he then said, "Playtime is over. Now, huh?"

Auburn walked in front of Rufous with Sage's weapon in sword form in her hand, resting on her shoulders, and said, "Why don't you stop right there? As his big sister, I can't stay back and watch him getting beaten like this, right?" Rufous then looks up to see his sister standing up to his defense, "Who might you be? I'll get rid of you first if you wish to die that badly!" Auburn just smirks at Victor's remark as Rufous then said, "He's dangerous big sister! Getaway, quick!" Auburn looks back at him with a smirk on her face as she then said, "Get up Rufous! Fight together with me."

"What will change that?" Victor asked as he then charges up his next attack, "Take this!!" He slams both of his fists and jumps up in the air, the force of his jump makes a strong gush of wind and Auburn is still smirking, Victor came close and attempts to punch Auburn, only for her to block it with the tip of the blade. Victor is trying to push back the blade but to no avail, Auburn then infuses her semblance on Blue rose as she then tilts the blade and strong wind removes Victor's arm as it fades away. Victor holds on to his decapitated arm as he is disbelief at what just happened, "No way! What just happened?" Auburn and Rufous stood back to back as Rufous summons his lightning sword as the two then charged at Victor at amazing speed as they attack him several times before jumping up in the air and Rufous did the final slash, "It's all over for you!"

Victor screamed in pain as Rufous did the superhero landing and stays at the pose, "I-It can't be! To think that I'd be beaten, by that little kid." And those are his last words before exploding. Rufous stabs his weapon on the ground, panting from the fight, "Are you okay?" he looked up to see his sister, "Your skills are quite improved a bit." She said to her brother, "Thanks, It's all thanks to you Big sister." He thanked his sister, "Well, it looks like the situation here is somewhat over, here stand up." She says as she held out her hand to Rufous, "Yeah." And he holds his hand at hers and stands up, "Good job." She compliments her brother as he scratched at the back of his head and laughed a little, but at the top of a building a figure is there who watched the whole thing, "Well, that ended disappointingly." Penny looked at the top of the building to see no one was there, "Something wrong Penny?" Rena asked, "it's nothing, Don't worry about it." She simply said as she then looks back at the building with a questionable look on her face.

Timeskip...

After the whole demon ordeal, Sonic, Shadow, Sage, and the others explained everything about what happened recently to Ruby and Rosetta, they agreed to be discreet about it but have to very cautious about it since they can pop out of nowhere, Just then, Weiss, Yang, Yin, and Amber approached the group and Ruby ran to confront Weiss, "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 Ignored her and walked up to Blake, " Weiss, I want you to know that I am no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was-!"

"Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours! That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in those twelve hours, I've decided..." Everyone then looks worried and Weiss then said, "I don't care!" Everyone sighed in relief.

"You don't care?" 

"You said you were no longer with them right?"

Blake shakes her head side to side as she then said, "No, not since I was-!"

Weiss interrupted her as she then said, "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... *looks at Sun* someone else." Blake reluctantly looks at Sun than at Rubys, Yangs, Sage, and the others before looking back at Weiss and wipes off the tear from her eye as she then said, "Of course." 

"Yeah, Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby and Rosetta cheered as they walked a bit closer and Weiss pointed to Sun and told him, "I'm still not quite so sure how I feel about you!" And Sun responds with a nervous laugh, "And as for you!" Weiss then pointed at Sage who has his arms cross and walks up to him and looks at him at his eyes, "I'm sorry." The others besides Sage's friends are shocked to hear that Weiss is being sorry, "I-I shouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly, I don't think that-" She was interrupted by Sage hugging her, "Weiss, it's okay, you had a rough past with the Faunus when you were a kid but the past is in the past, and my father said this to me, and I will say this to you. A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are." Weiss smiles at his father's saying and she hugs him back.

"By the way, Sage?" Ruby called him as the two eventually broke the hug, "Who are these guys with you?" She asked as she pointed at the seven, "Well, we'll introduce you to them while we walk back to Beacon, cause I didn't have any sleep and didn't eat any food while searching for Blake." This caught Rena's, Auburn's, both of the Yangs' attention as they then drag him  all the way back to Beacon, "I can walk you know!?" 

"Yeah?! Well, think of this as part of your punishment!" Rena and the Yangs told him as he just sadly looks down and a thought popped onto his head, "Hold up, where's Penny?"

With Penny...

"You should've known not to walk in a strange city like that. "The driver told Penny while she is looking outside of the window as she watched Sage and the others walk away, "I know sir..." She sadly said as she looks down for a few seconds before looking back at her friends and the driver drove off, "Penny, your time will come."

Back at Beacon...

Ozpin is seen holding his tablet with the Surveillance video showing Sage and the others fighting the demons and switches to Ruby, he closes the feed and sends a message to Qrow and Shadin.

To Qrow - QUEEN HAS PAWNS

To Shadin - I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, MEET ME AT MY OFFICE NEXT WEEK

With Shadin...

Shadin's scroll rings and vibrates as he then picks it up and saw the message Ozpin sent, he then went to his friends and told them about Ozpin's request and they agreed to have a meeting with him. He then went to his workshop as he then opened his drawer and picks up a strange device.

(This one.)

He then places his thumb at the pad as the phone automatically contacts a number, he puts the phone on his ear and the receiver picks up as Shadin then said, "Hey Bulma, think you can get those two over here for a visit?"

End of Arc 1...
