Volume 7: A Night Off
Y/n POV
After me and Poe cleared out the Grimm in Mantle, everything was okay... for now. I still can't believe Jaucqes Schnee is going to be elected to be a Councilman. If anyone is going to be sitting on the council, it's to be Robyn Hill, that's who I vote for. She has to be able to bring this city to stand up and fight for this battle that we are facing right now. Enough of that. Me and Poe were training inside the training room in Atlas Academy using only our fists. I was blocking his punches left and right to see if I can get advantage to strike him. I blocked some of his punches, but I got hit from his punch and I went on the floor.
Poe: Hey, what's wrong? You feel distracted.
I sat up from the floor and just took a break from training.
You: I'm just tired of all this.
Poe: Tired from what?
Poe then sat down next to me for us to talk.
You: I'm just tired of seeing people get hurt and get killed from these creatures and crazy people trying to take over this world, and trying to get these relics for them to have power. I just can't stand it. I just can't do this.
Poe: Hey, don't give me that crap. You've been here for five years, and you still survive. You've been fighting for your life to help people on this planet. You still got a job to do, Y/n. And your job, is to protect these people and save the world from danger. So you can't give up now, because you came all this way to save millions of lives. Don't give up now, okay?
I just heard Poe's speech he gave me. I'm not done yet, I still have a job to do. I will save these people from danger, and I will stop the people that are trying to hurt us from doing what is right for us.
You: Okay. Thanks, Poe.
Poe: (pats my back) You're welcome, Y/n. I heard there's an election going on down in the city, you up for it?
You: Yeah, I just need to take my mind off of things right now.
Me and Poe got up from the floor and head to our dorms to get ready for the election that's going on down in Mantle.
(Timeskip)
Location: Mantle
We were walking in the city of Mantle to head to this election that's taking place around here. I noticed that Poe was wearing a different outfit. It's close enough for him to protect him from the cold.

He has The Resistance symbol on his left side of his jacket that looks cool.
You: I like that jacket of yours.
Poe: Thanks. This is always my favorite jacket. Rising up for the fight of The Resistance.
You: I hope I can meet one of them one day.
Poe: I'm sure you will.
BD-1: Beep.
We kept on walking to the election that was taking place in Mantle.
(A few minutes later)
We finally arrived at the place where the election is taking place. I saw that there was a big holographic screen showing Robyn Hill and Jaucqes Schnee. Jaucqes was on 37% on his side from being elected and Robyn was on 63% on her side from being elected as well.
Poe: Wow. There's a lot of people here.
You: You said it.
I then saw Nora and Ren seemed to be upset at each other for some unknown reason.
Poe: Um, I think your two friends are having an argument about something.
You: I see that. I don't know why they are arguing?
Poe: I'll go talk to them. You go find your girl.
You: Thanks, Poe.
I then went to go find Ruby somewhere around here in the crowd. I then saw her and Penny on the back stage side where they are. I went up to them and go have a chat with them.
You: Hey, I didn't know you guys would be here.
Ruby: Oh. I didn't expect you to be here as well.
Penny: It is so good to you see you again, Y/n.
You: Like wise, Penny.
Marrow: Oh, hey, what are you two doing here?
You: What? I can't hang out with my fiancée?
Marrow: No, I didn't mean that.
Ruby: Just hangin' out with a friend while she's doing her job.
Ruby then offered Penny a fist bump. Penny pulled her fist back and bumped Ruby's fist hard that it made her fist go red for a second. Yikes, that was really hard.
You: I think that was a bit too hard, Penny.
Penny: Oh, my apologies.
Ruby: No, no. It's okay, Penny.
Marrow: Yeah, real cute. Look, try not to be too much of a distraction. We need to be vigilant in case--
Happy Huntress: In case what?
You: Woah.
Marrow: In case someone tries to start trouble.
Happy Huntress: Oh, funny, that's why we're here. So feel free to take a hike.
Marrow: Listen, the General's trying to help, all right? Just 'cause you can't understand--
Robyn: What's going on here, Wags? Oh, and the pipsqueak is back.
Ruby grunts a Robyn for calling her that.
You: Your Robyn Hill, right?
Robyn: And who are you supposed to be?
You: My name is Y/n L/n. I heard about you.
Robyn: Oh, you have? Well tell you what, I don't need another one of Ironwood's guys to look after me.
You: I'm not here because of that. I'm here to support you and your people, in a peaceful way. I know you can help all of us. That's why I'm here to support you.
Robyn just looked at me sighs.
Robyn: Well, I suppose I could use someone to support me. Thank you, anyways.
You: I would glad to help you out.
Robyn nods at me and head to go talk to Marrow while me and Ruby had a talk of our own.
Ruby: Wow, nice one there.
You: I had to us my charisma on her in order to understand me.
Ruby then chuckle at me for my good work.
Marrow: Alright, I think it's best for you two to just go. We have a job to do.
You: If you say so.
Marrow then left me and Ruby to go join the crowd. Ruby then did raspberry blow with her tongue at Marrow without him noticing. Me and Penny laughed at Ruby for her being silly. Me and Ruby waved at Penny for her to do good at security for this election. Me and Ruby met up with Poe in the crowd to watch the election.
Poe: I see you found your girl.
You: So, what happened with Ren and Nora?
Poe: Well, they kept on arguing about something this, something that, yada, yada, yada. And then they kissed.
You: No way.
Poe: See for yourself.
I then saw Ren and Nora actually kissed each other for so long. I knew they were together this whole time. I'm just glad that they stopped arguing for once.
Poe: Told ya.
You: Okay, I believe you.
Me, Poe, and Ruby started to watch the election continue. I looked up at the screen that Jaucqes was almost in the lead of Robyn, why are the numbers going down on Robyn? Is someone hacking this?
Ruby: Y/n, what's wrong?
You: Jaucqes is taking the lead of Robyn. I don't know why?
Ruby: Don't worry. Robyn will win, count on it.
I then looked at Ruby who has a smile on her face while looking at me as well. I returned the smile to her and put my arm around her to bring her close to me.
Poe: You two are going to be a very good couple when you get married.
You: I know we will.
I then heard the people are starting the count down for Robyn to be elected. I really do hope she wins. I continued to hear people counting down for Robyn to win. I then felt my shoulder being tapped on, it was Poe getting my attention.
You: Poe, what is it?
Poe: Who's that guy that has a hood on with that insane face he has in the crowd?
I then followed Poe of what he saw. I looked carefully to see someone wearing a hood in the crowd. He looked at me with an insane look on his face. No, it's Tyrian, he's here! How did he find us?!
You: LOOK OUT!!
After I said that, the lights in the area went out, I don't know why they went out?
You: BD, I need light!
BD-1: Beep-boop!
BD-1 then shined a light from his left eye so that I can see what's going on in here. I saw that the crowd are running and screaming in fear.
You: Poe! Ruby! Where are you?!
I then got kicked in the stomach and hit the floor in an open area. I saw Tyrian about to strike me, but I got out my lightsaber in time and activate it to block his attack in a clash lock.
Tyrian: Well, well, well! It's nice to see you again, child.
You: You bastard!
I pushed Tyrian back and kicked him off of me. I got up quickly for Tyrian to strike at me again while I blocked his attacks. We then clashed our weapons again to push each other back.
Tyrian: Just wait and see what they are going to think about, Ironwood now.
You: I won't let you do that!
Tyrian: (laughs) We'll see about that!
Tyrian then pushed me and kicked me again and make hit the floor again with my lightsaber deactivated. I got up again to see that he wasn't there anymore. I saw dead bodies on the floor that Tyrian did to these people. I looked closely on the stage that Tyrian was behind Robyn in the dark. I rushed to the stage to get that psychopath. I tried to tackle him to the ground, but he moved so fast that I got tackled by someone else. I saw that Penny was standing on the stage.
The lights then came back on. I saw dead bodies on the floor. That psychopath, Tyrian did this! I saw that one of the Happy Huntresses were injured. I got up and went to her to see that she was bleeding from a slash cut on her stomach.
You: Hey, you're gonna be okay!
Happy Huntress: Agh! This hurts!
BD-1: Beep-boop!
BD then went next to me to pop out a stim for me to catch it.
You: Thanks, BD.
I looked at the Happy Huntress for her to look at me as well.
You: This is gonna hurt, okay? I'm sorry.
I then injected the stim on the Happy Huntress's right stomach for her to groan in pain a little bit. I then got out the stim injector from her and put it on the floor and put pressure on the wound that she has.
You: Hey, what's your name?
Fiona: My name is Fiona.
You: Fiona, you're gonna be okay. Just hang in there.
Fiona: Thank you. I don't feel the pain anymore. Thank you.
You: My name is Y/n L/n. You're gonna be okay.
I continued to put pressure on Fiona's wound just in case any blood comes out of her. I then saw Ruby, Ren, Nora, and Poe coming up on the stage.
Ruby: What happened?!
You: It was, Tyrian! Tyrian's here!
Poe: You mean that guy that had a scorpion tail, who killed these people?!
You: Yes!
I looked at the screen behind me to see that Jaucqes Schnee had won the election. How did this happen?! Robyn was so close to be elected, and now Jaucqes has won! Damnit!
I then saw Penny in front of me while the crowd looked at her to see that she was the one who did this. Penny didn't do this, it was, Tyrian and someone else!
Male Civilian: It's Ironwood's robot!
Robyn: Penny.
I saw Robyn pointing her wrist crossbow at Penny while she was on the ground.
Penny: I-- I didn't.
You: Penny didn't do this, Robyn!
I saw that the crowd was getting aggressive of what happened here tonight in Mantle. Penny was not the one who killed these people, it was Tyrian that did this. I saw the crowd about to come attack us, but Marrow stopped them.
Marrow: (pointing his finger at the crowd) Stay!
I saw that Marrow stopped the crowd. I'm guessing that's his semblance.
Marrow: Get Penny out the back, now!
I still put pressure on Fiona's wound, but I saw Robyn pushed me away from Fiona.
Robyn: Get away from her!
Fiona: I'm okay. I'm okay. He saved me. He didn't hurt me at all.
Robyn then looked at me while I was on the ground. Robyn then noticed the stim syringe on the floor that I gave Fiona to heal her.
You: This wasn't me, Penny, or them. We were trying to help.
Poe: Y/n, come on, we gotta go.
Poe gave me his and I grabbed his hand for him to get me up to my feet. I looked at Robyn again and she did the same.
You: This was not us. Remember that, Robyn.
I then followed Poe to meet up with the others outside from the back. I saw Ruby, Ren, Nora, Marrow, and Penny who looked very sad about what happened tonight.
You: Penny?
BD-1: Be-bo-beep?
Marrow: Penny, you need to get back to Atlas. Backup's on the way.
Penny didn't say anything, she just ignored Marrow.
Marrow: Penny?
Penny then took off flying back to Atlas. I then heard sirens wailing in the city of Mantle. Why did they do this?
Ruby: Grimm.
Marrow: (sighs) We've got a long night ahead.
You: Why?
I said while I had tears in my eyes. Knowing that it's like the Fall of Beacon again.
Poe: Y/n, come on. We have a job to do.
I then wiped the tears out of my eyes while I saw the others had their weapons out. I took out my lightsaber hilt and followed the others to take out the Grimm. I'm gonna make them pay for what they've done.
To be continued.
