Chapter 21: Pursuit
A/N: Once Blake and Sun were found out by Roman, a long pursuit occurs involving team RWBY, You, Sun and Neptune.
Blake was tracing her fingers over three scratch marks on a wall before peeking around the corner and seeing a pair of horned Faunus as they were ushered into a building by a bearded man. She turned to Sun.
Blake: This is it.
Sun: You sure?
Blake glared at him as she started moving toward the entrance while unfastening her bow.
Sun: Y'know, I'm just gonna take your word for it.
The two walked inside the building to a hallway filled with cases.
Sun: I don't get it.
He held out the half-mask in his hand.
Sun: If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?
Blake: The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters.
Sun: Grimm masks ...That's kind of dark.
Blake: So was the guy who started it.
She put her mask on and walked on.
Sun: Always sunshine and rainbows with you...
Blake and Sun continued moving along with the new recruits. Blake looked around and saw no Arcosians.
Blake: Well, I guess (Y/N) doesn't have much to worry about. I don't see any other Rouges here.
White Fang Lieutenant: Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce two very special comrades of ours! I can assure you, they are the key to obtaining what we have fought for for so long!
He moved out of the way to reveal Roman and Frost, as they walked on the stage. The crowd started protesting.
Blake: However, we did manage to find Frost.
Sun: He's even shorter looking the second time around.
Roman: Thank you, thank you!
Frost: Please, kindly hold your applause until the end.
Antler Faunus: What's a Human and Arcosian doing here?!
Frost: We'd be glad to oblige, "Deerie"! Torchwick, if you'd be so kind to do the honors.
Roman: Why thank you. Now, I'll be the first to admit, humans ...are the worst.
He saluted as an example.
Roman: Case in point. So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed!
Sun leaned over to Blake.
Sun: So, is he going somewhere with this?
Roman: But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms!
The crowd soon agreed.
Roman: Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life!
The crowed cheers.
Roman: And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, me and Frost are the best exterminators around ...No offense to any rodents in the room.
Roman snapped fingers and the curtain falls to shown the Atlesian Paladin-290 behind it with the mark of the White Fang painted on its shoulder.
Sun: Whoa, that's a big robot...
Blake: How did he get that?
Roman: As some of you may have heard, this right here is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my "employer", we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, "hit the shelves". Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?
The crowd roared with applause. Blake soon leaned over to sun.
Blake: We should get out of here.
White Fang Lieutenant: Will all new recruits, please come forward!
The line surged forward with the two having to follow.
Sun: Welp!
Back at the Club, Junior put down his glass.
Junior: I don't know!
Yang: How can you not know?
Junior: I haven't talked to him! I haven't even seen him since the night you first came in here.
He leaned over to point in Yang's face.
Junoir: He paid up front, I lent him my men, and none of them ever. Came. Back.
Neptune rushed to Yang's side.
Neptune: So where did they go?
Junior: What kind of stupid question is that? They never came back!
He looked to Yang.
Junior: Who is this guy?
Yang: Don't worry about him; worry about me if I don't find out what I want!
Junior: I already told you everything! Torchwick hired my boys, and I guess he wasn't happy with them, which is something I can relate to!
He shouted this at his own men, who grumbled and walk away in response
While they were talking the girls were sitting next to you on a seat as they were getting flirty with her.
Miltia: my, you're awfully chiseled.
Melanie: Great muscles and abs.
(Y/N): Th ......Thanks.
You said as you blushed.
Miltia: let's move to the back room so we can have a more private time.
She said as the two wrapped their arms around both of yours and tugged on you. But before you could reply, Yang said something.
Yang: Come on, Neptune and (Y/N).
She turned from the bar and walked away.
(Y/N): Wow that was close.
You whispered.
(Y/N): Well, sorry about that girls. But, I gotta be off.
Melanie soon sighed.
Melanie: It's fine.
Miltia pulled out a piece of paper with a phone number on it.
Melanie: You have a scroll right.
(Y/N): I haven't technically been given a scroll yet. But I do have a scouter, which works a little bit like a scroll.
Melanie: Close enough.
She handed you the paper, to which you took it.
Melanie: And please try not lose that.
(Y/N): Don't worry. I remember to keep things close.
Miltia: We'll call you when weren't not too busy.
She said as she placed it in between the chest part of the carapace on your body.
Melanie and Miltia: See ya~.
You blushed as you followed behind Yang with Neptune.
(Y/N)'s mind: I feel like I shouldn't tell Glynda about this encounter, but I feel like she'll find out somehow.
Neptune: We get everything we need?
Yang: Well, we got everything we can. Hopefully the rest of the team is having better luck.
(Back with Blake and Sun).
The White Fang recruits were marched to the stage, with Blake and Sun having no choice but to follow along.
Sun: What are we going to do?!
Blake: I'm thinking...
Sun watched Roman lean on the robot while smoking his cigar and laughing with the girl beside him. Frost looked around the room before he started to zero in on the two. Rowan started to take notice of this and look over to them as well.
Sun: They sees us...
Blake then noticed the junction box on the wall.
Blake: They can't see in the dark.
With that, Blake unsheathed Gambol Shroud, transformed it into a pistol, and shot at the box, making the lights go out for the whole building and turning the screen dark.
Roman: Don't let them get away!
Blake: Sun! The window!
Frost: Don't just stand around!
Roman: Stop them!
Frost tried firing at the two despite not being able to see them. Two crashed through the window and ran as fast as they could. Frost flew out the widow as the Altesian Paladin crashed through the wall of the building in pursuit of the two. They leapt off of a car and managed to get on the roofs. The Paladin and frost followed beside them on the street as Blake and Sun run, jump, and flip from rooftop to rooftop.
Frost: Pathetic fools! There's no escape!
He yelled while firing death beams.
Sun: So, you wouldn't happen to have ...oh, I don't know ...some form of backup?!
Blake: On it!
She grabbed her Scroll and put it to her ear as she continued to jump.
(With Weiss).
Weiss was leaving the Cross Continental Transmit tower's elevator when she grabbed her scroll and listened to Blake's message.
Blake: Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back....
Sun: HEEEELLLLP!
Weiss rolled her eyes and started running out the door, a little smile on her face as she did.
(With Ruby).
Ruby was still beside the dumpster, staring at her Scroll.
Sun: Big robot! And it's big! Really big! And Frost is with it!
Ruby: Oh, I am not missing this!
She ran off to join the others.
(With You, Yang and Neptune).
Yang was back on the motorcycle in her helmet and sunglasses with Neptune looking at the Scroll in her hand over her shoulder.
Sun: That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something! And Frost is with him firing at us!
(Y/N): I'll blast that treacherous snake out from the sky!
Yang: Where are you guys?
As she asked, Blake and Sun were seen running through the street with the Paladin and frost hot on their heels.
Sun: HURRYYYY!!!
Neptune: I think that was them.
Yang: Yeah, I got it.

She put her Scroll away and quickly took off in her motorcycle with Neptune behind her. You then took to the air and chased after Frost. Blake and Sun made it to the highways, jumping down into the busy street and continuing their escape by hopping on cars while the Paladin followed them by pushing vehicles out of the way. Frost was about to follow behind until he was knocked further into the sky by you.
(Y/N): I never figured you as someone who would work with a human. You must be getting desperate!
Frost: Do not be so easily fooled. It was hardly my first choice. I'm only working with that fool until my timing is right.
He fired a red beam that you blocked as it exploded. Back on the highway, Sun paused to look at their pursuer's path of destruction before leaping onto more cars, much to the anger of Roman inside the robot. Yang and Neptune were able to follow the mech suit on their ride, coming up next to it as it ran
Yang: We've gotta slow it down!
Neptune: Got it!
Neptune reached for his gun, but Roman noticed the pair on his sensors and crashed into a multitude of cars with the Paladin's strong bulk, sending them flying toward the two.
Yang: Hold on!
Neptune: Wuh-oh...
Yang swerved as she leaned her bike to the side in avoidance of flying debris. Back on two wheels again, Neptune unslinged his weapon and aimed as sparks started flying. He fired several bolts of blue electricity at the Paladin, causing Roman to grimace from the force of the attacks. Switching strategies, Neptune flipped the gun and it grew a shaft and an energy blade at the end and then jumped from Yang's bike as the spear's head split in three and drove it into the top of the Paladin. Sun and Blake paused in their car-hopping to look back.
Sun: Neptune, hang on!
Neptune was trying his best, but the mech kept bucking and threatened to make him fall. Sun smashed his palms together and from the golden Aura around him, his Semblance created two glowing outlines. They leapt off and went over the tops of vehicles to collide into the Paladin's front. They explode into blinding light upon contact to let Sun leap forward with his weapon held high, but Roman finally turned enough to send Neptune flying off and knocking into his leader, sending both of them off the highway. Blake heard Weiss on her Scroll.
Weiss: Blake! I'm in position!
Weiss was twirling over a highway and landed in the middle of the road, holding her at the approaching Roman. He smiled as his robot charged the girl, but Weiss spun and plunged her blade into the ground, summoning a circle of ice across the pavement that caused the Paladin to slip and crash, actually flying over the young Huntress and falling off the ramp. The rest of team RWBY go to battle him. As that happens, your battle with Frost continued.
(Y/N): You should have gone into hiding after our first encounter!
Frost: Fool, like hell I would simply take my defeat from you so lightly! You will not be so fortunate this.......
You slammed your fist into his stomach.
(Y/N): You wanna be like Frieza?! You'll die like he did!
Frost: I'll enjoy watching you fail!
Frost fired a double death beam shot from both his fingers. Both of which were easily dodged. You then replied to this by landing several punches to his face. Blood poured down from his nose and a part of his mouth.
You said as you threw 4 extremely hard punches in the face. Blood flew as you did.
Frost: Son of a.....!
Was all he said as he caught your last punch. But he was soon met with another kick to the stomach by you. You then fired a blue blast and knocked Frost even further into the sky.
Frost: Damn it!
You flew at Frost and was about to hit him in the face with your tail. He blocked with both of his arms. However, this would prove to be a mistake when your tail wrapped around them and you started to spin Frost around.
Frost: Again, really?!
You let go and Frost was sent flying while also spinning.
(Y/N): Don't worry, there's more I can offer than that!
You said as you appeared next to Frost and kicked him in the side and nearly cracked a rib in his body. Frost coughed a bit of blood before he soon started to cackle a bit.
Frost: Hehehehe, for such a strong individual, you're still so soft. Just like the rest. Making allies with weaklings, even when there's hardly anything to actually be gained from doing it. Frieza was at least trying improve our race.
You grabbed Frost's head and slammed it against your knee.
(Y/N): We've gained assistance, knowledge of certain cultures and new advancements in technology by allying with different species. We would have gained NOTHING by becoming a bunch of simple dictators.
You then summoned a large death ball above you and tossed it at Frost. The blast collided with Frost and the explosion from it made the traitor crash onto the roof of a building. You landed as Frost struggled to get up.
(Y/N): Nowhere to run, traitor.
Frost: Hehehehehe. You could try and spend any further time dealing with me. But your little friends down there are having a bit of trouble of their own at the moment!
He said as he pointed to the battle of team RWBY and the Paladin. The team was certainly not going all too well against the massive mech. Frost used this diversion to his advantage as he pulled out a dust crystal. He threw it to the roof and a small explosion happened. Once the smoke from the explosion cleared, Frost was gone.
Frost: what will it be, me .....or them?
(Y/N): Son of a......!
You ignored the issue for now before turning back to the direction of the Paladin and used instant transmission. Just as the Paladin was about to throw a punch at Ruby, you appeared in between them. You caught the Paladin's hand and started to crushing a part of it in your grip while glaring at the part of the Paladin that Roman was in. He felt your glare piercing into his soul.
Ruby: (Y/N)?
You then pulled at the arm of the Paladin and ripped the whole thing off.
Roman: What?!
Yang: Wooooooow!
Roman tired attacking you with weapons on the mech, but you started attacking at a fast pace that made it hard for him to properly react.
Weiss: Jeez. I've never seen (Y/N) fight like that before.
Blake: he seems really made.
You then picked up the severed arm of the Paladin and started to bash the hell out of the mech with it. With each time you did this, the severed arm started to break while the mech itself started gaining more dents. The final time you did it, the arm shattered and the mech was beginning to have sparks coming off of it.
Roman: Annoying little pest!
Before Roman could move, you landed one final punch inside of the Paladin. You then summoned a ki blade and slashed the Paladin in half through the waist.
(Y/N): Piece of tin!
You lifted up the upper half of the Paladin and tore it in half, causing Roman to fall out of the mech and onto the ground.
He got up onto his feet and brushed some dust off his clothes.
Roman: Just got this thing cleaned...
He looked up just in time to see Yang, burning with her absorbed power and you. Yang had her weapon pointed at Roman as your finger with a small glowing ki ball pointed at him as well. You both fired at him. But he soon smirked as a girl with a pink and brown hair named Neo, dropped right in front of Roman and opened her umbrella, deflecting the blasts.
Roman: Ladies, Gentlemen, Ice Queen...
Weiss: Hey!
Roman: Always a pleasure! Neo, if you would...
Neo curtsied you all with a bow. But Yang charged forth with her fists raised to strike the outlaws. However, the image of the two broke and showed that it was just a mirror and turned just in time to see them escape in a Bullhead. You tried to shoot them down. But you were concerned you might accidently miss and hitting something else in the process.
(Y/N): Damn it!
Yang: So, I guess he got a new henchman...
Weiss: Yeah, I guess she really made our plans ...fall apart!
Yang: No. Just ...no.
Weiss: What ....But, you do it!
Yang: There's a time and a place for jokes.
Weiss: Was this not it?
Yang: No, it just wasn't very good.
Weiss: Well, at least I'm trying!
Ruby: Wait ...Where are Sun and Neptune?
(Meanwhile).
Sun and Neptune were sitting in the middle stools of the "A Simple Wok Noodle House" eating their plates of noodles with the Shopkeep behind the counter and their weapons leaning on the other two stools.
Neptune: They're probably fine, right?
Sun: Probably.
His question answered, Neptune turned back to his noodles, and the two eat in silence.
A/N: wow, what great help guys.
