Chapter 8: Warm Welcome


[(Y/N)'s POV]

I yawned as I swung my legs as I sat atop a large crate. Salem made me wake up bright and early today then transported me to Vale. Cinder said she needed help around the warehouse but when I got here there wasn't anything to do. I looked around and noticed that Cinder was busy talking to Neo, Mercury, and Emerald, evidently Roman got captured or something, but its part of their plan I suppose. I looked over to the warehouse door, which was open as people transported crates in and out.

Cody: "Think its time?"

Me: 'High tail it to Beacon, tell Ozpin all about their plans?'

Cody: "Sounds good to me. It was fun, but Ozpin is still our father, he cared for us when no one else would."

I jumped from the crate and made a full sprint for the door. I slid under a crate that was being carried by two White Fang grunts. I ducked as I felt heat pass by my head, I looked behind me to see Mercury and Emerald chasing after me as Cinder threw a fireball at me. As I got to the streets I made multiple turns to try to throw the two pursuers off, to no avail. Finally, after putting enough distance between me and the warehouse I turned down an alleyway to fight off my two attackers. Mercury was the first to charge at me. He went to kick me from the side to which I blocked by forming a blade on my forearm. As I blocked his kick I grabbed ahold of his leg and pulled him towards me, I then delivered a kick to his stomach while tightening my grip on his leg and yanking it while he flew back effectively tearing his leg off. I looked down to see that his leg was robotic.

Me: "Well that's no fun."

I tossed his leg over towards him and began to run away again. After nearly getting to the exit of the alleyway Emerald dropped down and blocked my way. I smiled as I knew exactly what she'd do, suddenly Ozpin appeared in front of me. He gave me disappointed look as he opened his mouth to speak, I moved before he could and beheaded the illusion.

Me: "Nice try Emerald, but using illusions on someone with schizophrenia isn't exactly effective."

I moved forward and slammed my fist into her stomach, making her reel and stumble back, I then sweeped her legs and ran past her. After awhile it seemed like I lost them, and I made my way back to Beacon.

[Time Skip, To Beacon]

I smiled as I stepped off the airship to the familiar place. Just as beautiful as I remember. Cody began walking off towards Ozpin's tower.

Cody: "Come on slow poke, lets go to Ozpin's... office..."

Me: "Cody what's-"

I turned in his direction to see dozens of Atlas soldiers along with Team RWBY and Ozpin. Ozpin looked at me with sorrowful eyes.

Ozpin: "(Y/N)... I have to ask you to come with these men here."

Me: "Wh-Why?"

I began to back away nervously. Ozpin didn't say a word, he only held up three photos. One, of the corpses that left the night Salem sent people after me. The next, deep claw marks made in a brick wall that were unmistakablely mine. And the third, was of me, blood soaked clothes and a large smile on my face.

Me: "Th-They attacked me!"

Ozpin: "That gave you no right to kill them... Grimm are one thing, human life is another. Please, take him away."

He motioned to the soldiers as they moved in. I looked to Cody who was standing beside me, he looked shocked he didn't know what to do either.

Cody: "We gotta get out of here... we gotta get back to Cinder or Salem."

I turned and started to run for the airship but Ruby sped in front of me to block my escape. Without thinking I formed my claws and kept running towards the airship. Ruby shot at me, I blocked with my claws. As I neared her I went to slash at her but was stopped by a familiar cane blocking my claws.

Ozpin: "If you girls would please step back, I'd like to be the one to take care of him."

Ruby nodded and backed off, along with her team. Ozpin and I stared off for a moment then began to move.

[Ruby's POV]

We watched as Ozpin and (Y/N) fought. I could barely see either of their movements as they moved around, they would appear at one place then disappear to another, (Y/N) seemed to be on the defensive. Suddenly (Y/N) slid across the ground, his claws broken. Ozpin walked towards him and pulled out the collar. He slapped onto (Y/N)'s neck and almost instantly it began to shock (Y/N) to the point of him seizing and screaming in pain. His blades retracted and he went still, breathing heavily.

(Y/N): "Y-You said... you'd never s-send me to that... place... you... lier."

Ozpin turned and started to walk away as some of the soldiers came and sedated (Y/N) then started putting him in a straitjacket. Ozpin had told us about (Y/N), how he was his son, how he found him, and mostly what's wrong with him.

Me: 'I guess it's what's best for him...'

[Author's POV, Weeks Later]

(Y/N) sat in the white padded room, half asleep. The workers kept him in a constant state of sedition ever since he ripped that nurse's throat out with his teeth. Cody wasn't there anymore, (Y/N) hasn't seen him ever since they started injecting him with this weird medicine, He can't so much as think anymore, his mind is blank. This has been his life for the past weeks, through he has no idea of time anymore. The door to (Y/N)'s room suddenly opened and revealed a man in white, he walked forward and sat a tray of food next to him. It would remain there until another man came to pick it up. (Y/N) refuses to eat, more like he couldn't muster the strength to. The guards tried to force feed him, leading to the new expression "give me four" seeing as (Y/N) bit off a finger from whoever tried to feed him. The only reaction they ever got was when someone tried to touch him, where he would lash out with the only weapon he could use, his teeth and lack of a "safety trigger"(Basically it's a subconscious braking system that would stop you from biting through someone's throat or something of the sort). He's only ever had one visitor, Ozpin. He came to apologize for going back on his word, however it fell on deaf ears, for (Y/N) is no longer responsive. It would truly take a miracle, or a tragedy, to get (Y/N) out of this place.
