Chapter XXXII: The Last Gamble Pt. 2
Y/N's POV
Gotta find the detonator, gotta find the detonator... Where the fuck is it!?
Rushing through the hallways of Beacon hadn't felt so suspenseful as it did now. The fate of the world rests on my hands. I just didn't fucking remember where the damn thing was after all that fighting. THINK! So I killed Ozpin... The elevator, YES! I left it in the elevator! I did a full 180 and sped back to the elevator, which was still past the auditorium and in the main hall.
Suddenly I felt a piece of string wrap around my ankle. SHIT! Stumbling to the ground, I turned to see Blake fishing me in using her weapon. I frantically tried to get away like a madman fighting against the power of a tornado.
Me: What kind of hero attacks someone from behind!?
I asked, using my butterfly knife and cutting the string in two. Hearing Blake curse behind me I again made a run for it.
Blake: I'll never let you win!
I once again activated my semblance, letting Blake's bullets fly past my inanimate form. I made a turn, only to trip over a scythe sticking out of the corner.
Ruby: You're not going anywhere.
Blake yelled before causing a purple shockwave with her sword, throwing me to the wall on the other side of the room. I clutched my stomach in pain, checking the aura gauge on my scroll. 66%.
I groaned, taking out my butterfly blade and flinging it towards Blake, who just knocked it away using her sword.
Me: Such a persistent lot you both are. Such determined girls such as yourselves deserve something very special.
I effortfully spoke, Ruby and Blake both stepped back expecting something else from me. But I only began to speak again.
Me: I know It's not exactly gonna do too much good to reason with you two.
Blake: You have another trick hiding up your sleeve?
Me: No, no more tricks. I just wanted to talk. Can I?
I ask, taking out my revolver and waving it around. Before I tossed it aside. Ruby looked at Blake, Blake looked at me, she then looked back at Ruby, nodding.
Ruby: Fine then, but if you make any move. We'll blow you out into Space.
Me: I just wanted to try and get you to understand my point of view on things...
Blake: How are you going ti try and do that? Blow yourself up or something to tell us how you're dark within?
Me: No no no no no no nothing like that.
I said desperately. Holding out my hands to signify my 'passive' intentions.
Blake: What then?
Me: I just did what I thought was best for the world... I'm-Erm... Sorry.
I said, bowing my head in defeat. I had no choice, cornered and out-numbered.
Blake: Sorry! SORRY!? YOU KILL JAUNE, PYRRHA, CALEB, OZPIN AS WELL AS ALL THOSE INNOCENTS AT THE VYTAL FESTIVAL. All you say is sorry!?
Me: I was stupid! O-Ozpin was right... I'm just a blind fool...
Ruby: You do know we're still going to arrest you right?
Me: Y-yeah I-I just wanted to say I'n sorry for all the lost lives during my *gulp* pointless
campaign. I truly am.
Ruby: We understand.
Me: T-thank you.
Blake then grumbled.
Blake: Letting your 'tough boy' masquerade fall once you're cornered and trapped? Such a typical move for the villain.
Ruby: Blake, don't be rude to him. He might be the villain, but they have right's as well.
Me: Thank you Ruby.
I smiled, while reaching for the watch on my right hand. It was attached to a wire which ran through my sleeve, down my shirt and into my pants, right into my right shoe.
Me: I appreciate your handling of the situation.
Ruby: I don't think Ironwood will handle it any good though so this is only for us.
I pushed a button on my watch. Which sent a signal into my boot. Activating the retractable blade in my boot, sticking out the 4-inch knife, ready to attack.
Me: I hate to cut the formalities with you two girls though, so... gotta run.
Ruby: What?
I quickly slipped away from Ruby's grip, facing a surprised Blake. She couldn't even react in time, as I kicked her as hard as I could in the abdomen. I heard the flesh giving in myself, Ruby could only look in horror.
Ruby: BLAKE! NOO!
The cat Faunus doubled over, crying out in pain while she clutched her stomach wound. Her Aura was already healing it but it was still considerably slow.
Me: How about 'cutting' to the chase then eh?
I asked, while laughing. Blake writhed on the ground as Ruby tried to stop the bleeding. I sprinted off as Ruby yelled to me.
Ruby: CURSE YOU Y/N! BURN IN HELL!
Y/N: Can't send someone to hell if you're not even trying.
Running out of the Academy I came face to face with a very angry-looking Ironwood. And every single Huntsman and huntress in the Academy, hell even Adam Taurus was there. Every single one of them looking not very happy at seeing me,
Ironwood: Don't try and worm your way out of this one Ace of Spades. We have every gun and piece of Dust trained on you.
Me: You sure it's me General? It could have been anyone, even Adam Taurus right there. He's the one that attacked the police station by the way.
Ironwood: In fact, Y/N L/N. He's the one that told us about you in the first place.
I scoffed, until Adam spoke up.
Adam: I had to stop this madness somehow. You're despicable...
Me: You don't even know a thing!
The Atlesian General narrowed his eyes, glaring with menace and hate towards me. I brushed it off as Ironwood stepped forward.
Ironwood: Tell me where the explosives are.
I smirked, before shaking my head slowly.
Me: No.
Ironwood: Send in the bomb squads. Stat. Where is Ozpin!? You piece of shit.
Me: He's upstairs, taking a bath. He'll call you when he gets out.
Ironwood: The truth... NOW!
Ironwood ordered. Suddenly I heard a huge explosion, the charges. The detonator!
I looked up, the tower was half up in flames. Rubble and gears were falling all around me as Blake, Weiss and Ruby escaped from the complex looking a bit messed-up. The demo squad did not. T
Ruby: Arrest him! ARREST THAT SCUM!
Yang: Ruby! BLAKE!
The one-armed blonde ran towards the remainder of her team. I looked around, seeing a rubble of Beacon around me. Suddenly, the tower groaned as it tilted over, weighed by the sudden loss of a few of its supporting beams in the ground floor, it eventually fell off it's base and fell opposite to where the whole crowd of huntsmen were standing... a live audience to the destruction of Beacon Academy. I turned around, greeted by the burn of multiple malicious stares from the hundreds of students.
Me: He he... Oops?
I ask and smile, as I hold up my hands innocently. Ironwood and his goons come over, holding up a pair of handcuffs.
Atlesian Soldier: You know we've been trying to find you for over year now.
Me: Ahh, yes. One year too late I see.
I smirked as I responded, feeling the cuffs tighten around my wrists, pelted with insults and profanity from the surrounding crowd of Beacon students.
Student: FUCK YOU ACE!
Student 2: I'll be seeing you at the gallows!
Me: Meet me there at 12 mate!
Diana: Oh I'll be there! Taking a selfie of me and your hanging body!
Me: Much obliged my dear teammate, thank you very much.
I only smirked even more as I was known throughout the whole courtyard, escorted to a bullhead which would bring me to a mobile prison within the airship 'Serenity'. Fuck them, it doesn't matter, I got what I came for.
Say, where the hell did that come from anyways? Who set up the detonator?...
Lilith's POV
Holding the red button down was something I'd never regret doing. For Y/N. The explosions were as bright and as shining as Beacon was when I'd first laid my eyes on it. It's almost... beautiful. Though it's too bad Y/N's going to be kicking the can soon...
Me: Well, that's that I guess. *tosses the detonator*
Wait a minute... I have an Idea...
