Chapter 8
A/N: I know I sort of TimeSkip to the events of the dance but it's not too much of a problem right.....right?
Cinder was sitting in her dorm with Emerald and Mercury and something seemed to be on her mind.
Emerald: cinder are you alright?
Mercury: Yeah. You've been quiet for almost an hour.
Cinder: I'm fine. It's about that (Y/N) person.
Mercury: what about him. His odd (F/C) skin or the way he looks?
Cinder: no -_-. How he fights is what interests me. He seems to be rather fast and strong. And he doesn't even use a weapon. We could use that. We could have him join us.
Emerald: how?
Cinder: I'll find a way.
She smirks.
(TimeSkip. This is now at the dance but you were there during the events before still so stuff like neo and other things are what you know about by now). (Also you can basically pick whatever music fits for the rest of this).
You were at the dance with everyone. Everything seemed Normal.....that was until you saw Jaune in a dress.
(Y/N): 0_0
Pyrrha: Jaune?
Jaune is shown to now be wearing a white dress with a blue ribbon.
Jaune: Eh, a promise is a promise.
Pyrrha: Jaune! You didn't have to!
(Y/N): yeah seriously. 0_0
Jaune: Hey, an Arc never goes back on his word. Now do you wanna stand there and laugh at me, or do you wanna dance?
Pyrrha: I would love to dance.
Jaune pulls her to him and sweeps her away.
Pyrrha: Oh!
Nora: Ren. This... is... happening!
Ren: Wait, what "is happening"?
(Y/N): apparently that's what's happening.
Nora grabs Ren and drags him out onto the dance floor with Pyrrha and Jaune. JNPR performs a short but elaborately choreographed dance, culminating in Jaune spinning Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: I had no idea you were a dancer.
Jaune: Yeah, well, these things tend to happen when you grow up with seven sisters.
Jaune dips Pyrrha and then spins her away.
Neptune and Weiss are shown to be watching the dancers.
Weiss: So, what made you change your mind?
Neptune: Huh?
Weiss: You said you were embarrassed at first. What made you come talk to me?
Neptune: You're looking at him. You got some good friends looking out for ya.
(Y/N): 😊
Jaune and Pyrrha continue to dance. Ren and Nora do a kind of disco dance, Sun and Blake join the mix and Penny and an Atlas guard are showing doing the "robot".
Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai are shown to be observing the students from the next tier.
Emerald: It appears all the dancers have partners.
Cinder: How long do I have?
Mercury: You should probably be home by midnight, to be safe.
Cinder Fall is shown to be somewhere outside, holding her fingers to her ear.
Cinder: I'll keep my eye on the clock.
Ruby, having made her way to the exit, walks out of the dance and into the night air. She watches a figure running along the rooftops and then moves to pursue. You noticed Ruby going out there so you followed her.
(Y/N): ruby?
Outside the Cross Continental Transmit System Tower, Cinder (dressed as a cat burglar), stealthily approaches an armed guard. She knife-hands the back of his head, rendering him unconscious with a stunned grin on his face. She drags him behind some bushes. Inside the building, Cinder approaches more guards.
Atlas Soldier 1: Excuse me, no one's allowed in this area.
Cinder continues to approach.
Atlas Soldier 1: Stop!
The soldier opens fire when Cinder does not heed him. She manages to overpower him, using his gun to take out another approaching soldier. She then throws him against a handrail. Two more soldiers rush her wielding batons. Cinder flash-forges a pair of black blades from fire Dust and trounces them both.
Two guards are shown to be on an elevator.
Atlas Soldier 2: Hey, man, do you know the Wi-Fi password?
Atlas Soldier 3: It's Beacon, but replace the E with a 3 and add a pound symbol to the end.
The elevator door opens to show Cinder waiting. One of the guards notices the fallen men outside. Both guards grow apprehensive as Cinder casually walks onto the elevator, the doors closing as she turns around. Thrashing sounds can be heard from outside the elevator.
Outside the building, You and Ruby approach and sees the unconscious guard. Ruby gasps and pulls out her scroll, dialing for her weapon locker which crashes into the courtyard and opens to reveal Crescent Rose.
Inside the building, the elevator doors open to show Cinder examining a scroll. The two guards are knocked out.
Cinder: Oh! That's handy.
She pockets the scroll and walks out of the elevator and toward the control consoles nearby.
Emerald: A party guest is leaving.
Cinder: "sighs" Which one?
Emerald is shown to be dancing with Mercury.
Emerald: Ironwood.
Ironwood is shown to be walking out the door as Ozpin gives his send-off.
Mercury: I guess the general's had enough fun for one night.
Random code appearing on a computer screen is shown to change into a Queen chess piece.
Mercury: Should we intervene?
The other monitors in the room light up.
Cinder: No... we're done here.
As she starts to walk away, she notices the elevator doors opening. You and Ruby step out of the elevator slowly, brandishing her weapon.
Ruby: Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?
(Y/N): damn. They couldn't have disappeared.
Cinder rises from her hiding place and steps out toward You and Ruby.
Ruby: Excuse me? You know, it's not a masquerade party, so why don't you take off that-!
(Y/N): hm?!
Cinder produces a container of ice Dust and sends shards of ice flying at You and Ruby. A battle ensues but it is interrupted by the appearance of Ironwood on the nearby elevator. You and Ruby are visibly glad to see him until you both notice that Cinder has disappeared.
In a hallway, Cinder discards two bracelets and her mask to change from her stealth suit into a black dress and enters the dance. Two guards following her crush the bracelets underfoot and are visibly confused at the sight of the crowded dance hall.
Cinder taps Emerald's shoulder.
Cinder: Oh, may I cut in?
Emerald steps aside.
Emerald: Of course.
Emerald leaves as Cinder begins to dance with Mercury.
Mercury: And how's your night been?
Cinder: Mmm... a little more exciting than expected.
Mercury: Should we be worried?
Cinder: Hardly... They'll be scratching their heads long after we finished what we came here for.
Mercury: So then what now?
Cinder: Enjoy the rest of the night. After all, it is a party.
A/N: sorry you didn't get much to say in this. I didn't realize it until I was almost done.
