Volume 7: Cordially Invited
Y/n POV
We arrived at the Schnee manor of the Schnee family while we were inside cars that were taking us there to the manor. Me, BD-1, BB8, my team, team JNR, Oscar, Poe, Merrin, the Ace Ops, General Ironwood, Penny, Qrow and Winter are all here arriving at the manor. We exited the vehicles that we were in and I began to admire the huge manor that the Schnee family has. This place is huge. I can see why Weiss and her family are rich, but Weiss decided to not become a Schnee Heriess anymore. But Weiss still needs to get information about what her father, Jaucqes is up to. I continued to site-see at the manor, until Poe broke the silence.
Poe: So, this is the rich man's place. I don't like it when these people get rich and let those people that are poor just left them in the streets.
You: You used to gamble before?
Poe: A long time ago yeah, but I gave up on that. I realized that your just spending a lot of credits on that. On Nar Shaddaa, there were bounty hunters, outlaws, and gamblers all around. But this, this is way different.
You: Just keep your guard up, we have a job to do. You two droids are ready to do this?
BD-1: Beep-bwoop!
BB8: Bwoop!
You: Alright, let's do this.
We all walked to the entrance of the manor for Ironwood to ring the doorbell for someone to answer it. The door then opened up to reveal a boy who has the fancy outfit and had the same hair as Weiss and Winter. I guess that's their brother, but I don't know his name.
???: Good evening, everyone.
Weiss: Where's Klein?
I'm assuming Klein is Weiss's butler.
???: What an interesting way to say. "Hello, dear brother, how have you been? I'm afraid you won't find him here. He was let go. I can't imagine why.
Poe then grunts and reached for his blaster on his holster. I stopped him from doing anything for him to cause a scene.
You: Poe, he's just a kid.
Poe: The way he just spoke to her like that.
You: We can't cause a scene. We're here to find out what Jaucqes is up to. Keep it together, okay?
Poe: (sigh) Okay.
Poe then got his hand away from his blaster to go with the flow for now.
???: General, exactly how large do you think our dinning room table is?
Ironwood: I happen to know it's enormous, but most of my guests will be on standby in case the Council requests additional eye witnesses. Until then, I'm sure they'll be happily celebrating your father's victory.
The boy then left the front door for us to head inside the manor, man this place is huge. There were people around here getting drinks and food served by waiters and waitresses.
Poe: Okay, I'm not a fan of mansions, but this place is amazing.
You: You got that right. I never been here before.
Weiss: Well, you do now.
Qrow then left to go patrol the grounds while the General and the others followed Weiss's brother went off with them.
Harriet: Right, well, don't wander off, don't break anything, and be ready in case the General calls on you.
Harriet, Vine, Marrow, and Elm left us to go secure the grounds as well. Yang then spoke to us.
Yang: Counterpoint, how about we do wander off, consider breaking things, and then all that other stuff.
Poe: You took the words right out of my mouth, Yang.
Yang: I only speak for the best, Poe.
You: I'm gonna go with, Yang's idea.
Merrin: I'll still see if there are any suspicious activity around here.
Weiss: (points to her earpiece) I'll be in touch.
You: Same.
Poe: Okay, good luck everyone.
We all went out separate ways to find out what Jaucqes Schnee is up to, and how he won the election in the first place. I was walking down the hallway of the manor, but something caught my eye. I see that there was a picture of Beacon Academy, the place where I was and used to be called home for me when I came here in the first place. I still have the memories of it when it fell, and now here we are... still fighting for a better place in this world. I should keep going.
Man: It's beautiful, isn't it?
I heard someone on my left side to see someone in a suit with some facial hair on him while he was admiring the painting and looked at me.
(Think of him without the armour and replace it with the suit he was wearing in the manor.)
He had small smile on his face while looked back at the painting.
You: Yeah. I used to be there when I came here, but now it's destroyed.
The man then changed his face into a mad look.
Man: All of those people in the city as well, they're all dead because of those monsters. They deserve to punished for what they have done.
You: You're right, they do deserve to be punished.
Man: What about you? What did you do when you came here?
I looked at the man to answer his question.
You: I was alone for five years, but I worked in a scrapyard in the south side of Vale when I came here. I was a Jedi that survived the Jedi Purge. And now here I am, saving this world from evil.
The man then had a surprise look on his face of what I said.
Man: Did you say you are a Jedi?
You: Yeah, why?
Man: I used to be a clone trooper back then.
At that moment, my eyes widened from what this man said, he was a clone trooper? He was part of the clones that all the Jedi?
You: You. You're were killing all of the Jedi across the galaxy, and here you are, finding me to finish me off.
Man: I'm not here to do that. When all of us got that message from Palpatine, I knew something was wrong. He ordered us to kill the Jedi, but I didn't follow those orders. I managed to take that chip out of my head to not follow what that scum said to all of us. I didn't follow those orders, I'm still loyal to the Jedi. And I know you have been here for five years. You are a brave one who survived the Jedi Purge on your own after all those years, I feel sorry about what happened to your Master.
You: He was a hero of the Republic.
Man: Jaro Tapal was the best Jedi and General I could ever follow.
You: Are you sure you didn't follow those orders anymore?
Man: 100% That I didn't follow those orders.
You: Good. What's your name?
Man: I used to be called CT-4040, but now, my name is Kieron.
You: Well, nice to meet you, Kieron. I'm Y/n L/n.
Me and Kieron shake our hands together for meeting each other and let go.
Kieron: It's nice to meet you, Y/n, or should I say, General. We used call the Jedi our Generals during the clone wars.
You: Well, I'm afraid I'm not a General yet. I'm still a Padawan.
Kieron: It doesn't matter what you are, you're still a General for me. Kieron, arc trooper at your service.
Kieron said while he was saluting to me just the old days in the clone wars. I salute back to Kieron for a thank you and we stopped and I started to continue down the hallway.
Kieron: Where are you going?
You: Apparently, I'm investigating a person name Jaucqes Schnee is hiding something. So me and my team are patroling the grounds to find out what Jaucqes is up to.
Kieron: Well, if you're going, then I'm going too.
You: You sure you can come with me?
Kieron then reached into his suit jacket and got out two blasters that are DC-17 type and twirled them around with his fingers.
Kieron: I'm always ready for a fight.
You: Okay, let's go.
Me and Kieron went down the hallway to proceed to one of the lobbies in the manor. I then came upon two separate doors in front of me. I opened them and peeked inside to see that it was a library.
You: Stay here and guard this position, I won't be long.
Kieron: Yes, sir.
I smiled at Kieron for calling me sir for the first time. I then the library room and closed the doors behind me. Wow, I never seen this library before, it's beautiful.
I then started to walk around and explore this room. There's so many books here, I bet Blake will go nuts if she sees this. I then started to head to the second floor of the library and began to go take a look at the books. This manor is well good with this type of stuff. I began to go through the book shelves to see what kinda books there is. There were some books that talked about The Great War, the story of how The Schnee Dust Company was born, and so forth.
(A few minutes later)
After a few minutes, I kept on searching of how Jaucqes Schnee is hiding something. I looked at the last book shelf and pulled out the last book, but then something triggered. I saw that the book case was moving to the left side to open up a hidden door behind it. I never expected this to happen.
BD-1: Bee-whoo-whoooo.
You: Wow. I never expected this to happen.
BD-1: Beep beep?
You: We should go see what's inside here.
BD-1: Beep.
Me and BD-1 entered the hidden door behind the case to enter a different room. I saw a wall that looks like a mirror, something strange is pulling me to it. I put my hand on the wall and it began to glow blue. I then started to see something inside my mind.
(Third Person view: Inside Y/n's head)
Y/n was inside his mind somewhere he began to see the Zeffo Sages male and female around him and started to speak to him.
Zeffo Sage: I offer this record of our civilization to those who will follow. Despite our wisdom and technological achievement, we face extinction. Dogma blinded us to the path of balance and gradually we allowed our pride to corrupt us.
Y/n then started to walk to the end of the platform and saw the Zeffo Sage continue to speak to him.
Zeffo Sage: The grater control we sought, the further we fell into ruin. I lead the remnants of my people into the great unknown, hoping that we will finally find peace.
The Zeffo disappeared into a mist and Y/n jumped down in an open area to see a green holocron floating in the air. Y/n then went up to it and grabbed it and saw a few Younglings in front of him.
Y/n: I shall teach them the ways of the Force.
Youngling Girl: Master L/n.
Y/n: We shall begin with physical preparation.
Youngling Girl: What is the Force?
Y/n: Gather around, everyone.
Youngling Boy: Master L/n. Do you think Salem will find us?
In the background, Y/n sees himself with a few Younglings with him to teach them the ways of the Force, and train them to become a Jedi. Y/n continued forward to climb up a wall with his climbing claws. He then saw the now Padawans running away from something while he was climbing.
Padawan Male: It's Salem's forces!
Padawan Female: They've found us. Master, shall we fight them?
Padawan Male: They're coming!
Padawan Female: To the trenches!
Padawan Male: Keep going!
Padawan Female: Protect yourself!
Y/n continued to climb up the wall and got up. He then saw more figures of his Padawans fighting off one of Salem's forces.
Cinder: Foolish child. You're not even trained enough to use that thing.
Padawan Female: I will stop you from hurting everyone and all of us!
Cinder: Ha. We'll see about that.
The Padawan Female then got out her blue lightsaber and charged at Cinder Fall and the figures paused for Y/n to see his own Padawan about to face death herself. Y/n then proceeded to the next vision where a Padawan Male was hiding from Mercury Black.
Mercury: Where did you hide you little brat.
The Padawan Male was scared that he will be taking alive for Salem, but Mercury found him.
Mercury: There you are!
Padawan Male: Help me, Master L/n!
Y/n watched the figures paused in front of him that he couldn't do anything to save his Padawan. Y/n then continued to the next vision that he sees two Padwans fighting off Tyrian Callows.
Tyrian: Do you think you're going to stop me while you two have a deathwish? (laughs)
Padawan Male: Go!
The two Padwans had blue and green lightsabers to take on Tyrian. The two Padwans striked at Tyrian together, but he was too fast for them to hit him. Tyrian blocked their attacks and he killed one Padawan with his wrist blades, and killed the other Padawan with his tail, and then the figures paused again for Y/n to watch as he didn't do anything to save his Padawans.
Y/n proceeded to the final vision while he saw the green holocron in the air. The green holocron disappeared and he saw the woman herself, Salem in front of him.
Salem: Y/n L/n! Surrender now and we may spare the others and the youngest.
Y/n then got on his knees to surrender himself, his Padawans and his friends to Salem.
Salem: That's right. On your knees.
Y/n then dropped down into a place where there was darkness everywhere in some sort of palace. He was walking in some sort of prison room in the palace to see his Younglings, and his Padawans
Youngling Boy: I'm scared. What's going to happen?
Youngling Girl: Master L/n... why?
Padawan Male: Why did you do this to us, Master? We trusted you!
Y/n then proceeded to the next hallway to see his friends all locked up in cells.
Nora: Y/n, how could you?
Jaune: We trusted you, and this is how you repay us?!
Ren: You're no better than Salem, and your working for her now. You're a monster.
Oscar: I thought we were friends, Y/n, and now here you are joining Salem's side! Remnant is destroyed because of you!
Yang: How could you do this to us, Y/n?! I thought you trusted us when we first met you in the first place, and now you're working for Salem! You traitor!
Blake: You monster! You're no better than the Grimm or The White Fang, you're way worse than all of them. You're not the Y/n we know who trusted us, but now he's gone... because you killed him!
Weiss: I shouldn't have trusted you right from the start, Y/n! You betrayed us all!
Qrow: I thought I trusted you, kid, but now you're nothing, but a monster yourself!
Poe: I thought you were the Jedi I knew since the day I met you, but now you're nothing better than a monster you are!
Merrin: I shouldn't have trusted you right from the start, maybe you did killed my sisters!
Y/n then looked at the final cell where his fiancée, Ruby Rose was leaning on the cell bars with tears in her eyes. She saw how her lover became now.
Ruby: Why would you do this, Y/n? We could've been together forever. I thought you were on my side, on our side. I thought you wanted to protect the people that are hurt. Y/n... you broke my heart. After everything we've done together we stopped Salem and her forces, but now you've joined her side. To become evil than all of them. We could've been together forever in our lives. We could've been a family, Y/n! And now here you are... working with a powerful witch that wanted to take over Remnant. I never should have met you right from the start. The Y/n I knew, he would have loved me so much for the time being. And now he's dead... because you killed him!
Ruby then got on the floor crying and sobbing when she saw what Y/n has become to Ruby and his friends.
Y/n then exited the cell room and went down the hallway and he sees Salem next to his new room leading him there.
Salem: Your new room, my apprentice.
Y/n then bowed his head in front of Salem and entered his room and the doors closed behind Y/n, leaving him in the dark. But then something lit up in the dark. A red lightsaber blade lit up in the dark room. The blade then illuminate in the dark room to reveal the no longer Jedi, Y/n L/n. He's now a Sith to Salem and to all of Remnant. The screen showed that Y/n was no longer wearing his casual outfit. He was wearing a long sleeve black shirt, a white jacket on him with black and white armor pieces, combat boots, black and white gloves, he has white pale skin, red blood eyes, and white slicked hair. He then saw torches lighting up in his open area room to see a glass wall in front of him. Y/n deactivated his red lightsaber and clipped it to his belt, and went to the glass wall. Y/n then put his left hand on the wall to see himself back in reality.
Y/n POV
I saw myself that I joined with Salem's side in a different look of myself.
You: No.
I can't believe my eyes that I saw myself in this dark vision that I have right now that my friends said to me, and what I became.
You: No.
I then brought my right hand and began to use the Force to break this mirror.
You: NO!
I then slammed my hand on the mirror with the Force breaking this terrible reflection of myself. I was breathing heavily in the same room I was in from the terrible vision I just now had. I was joining Salem's side and serving her as a Sith. And I saw my friends and Ruby saying those words to me. I would never do that to them, and I would never betray them. I exited the room from the hidden book case door and closed it so that no one can find this. I should head back to Kieron and the others to let them know that I didn't find anything.
I then calmed down from that vision I just had, I rather not talk about it to anyone right now. Those Younglings and Padawans, I hope I don't find that holocron. I was about to exit the library, but all of a sudden I saw Ruby in here. That's strange, I thought that she was supposed to be with the others. I then went up to Ruby and asked why she was here. Ruby then noticed that I was coming down from the stairs from the second floor of the library.
You: Ruby? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your team?
Ruby then shrugged her shoulders and raised an eyebrow, how come she's not talking? Ruby has never been the silent treatment for once.
You: Well, okay.
There was a moment of silence between us. Something about Ruby made me suspicious. I then broke the silence to speak to Ruby.
You: You remember that night when you made me had a good time on my birthday?
Ruby nodded her head and smiled at me knowing that she remembered that night.
You: I really enjoyed it. You wanna go for a another round?
Ruby then immediately went up to me with her arms around my neck and and pinned me to a wall with a flirtatious look on her face and I put my arms around her waist.
You: Woah. I never saw you pinned me to a wall before. Well, looks like we're going to do this.
Ruby then closed her eyes waiting for me to kiss her. I began leaning in to Ruby to kiss her, but I stop immediately and open my eyes. I know something is wrong, this is not Ruby, this is an imposter. I then leaned into fake Ruby's ear and whispered something in her ear.
You: (whispering) You'll have to do better than that.
I then got her arms off of me and Force Push her onto the wall and she hit the floor. She groaned in pain and got up and looked at me.
You: I don't know who you are, but you're not the Ruby I knew.
The fake Ruby then smirked at me and her body was glowing in pink to some sort of shape shifting ability. She then had a top hat on and a different outfit.
Wait, I remember her. She used to work with Roman Torchwick. What is she doing here?
You: Hey, I remember you. You used to work for Roman Torchwick right?
The girl then got mad when I said Roman's name. She got out an umbrella as her weapon and got ready to fight me. I got out my lightsaber and activate it in single green blade. We were about to fight, but I heard that Kieron entered without hesitation.
Kieron: Sir, are you alright?
Kieron then saw the girl in pink and brown hair and he pointed his blasters at her.
Kieron: Freeze!
I then used Improved Dash to strike at the girl, but she blocked my attacks fast. I then heard Kieron's blasters firing at the girl, she blocked Kieron's shots with her umbrella making an opening on her. I spin around and kicked her left leg to hit drop to the floor and strike her, but she turned into glass, how did she do that?
Kieron: What did she do?
You: She turned herself into glass.
Kieron: Then that means she could be anywhere in the manor, she did that to distract us.
You: You're right, we have to go warn my team, come on.
Kieron: I'm following you, sir.
We wasted no time and head back to the main hall where my team and friends are to go warn them that we have been breached. We went to the main lobby, but no one was there, they might have went upstairs to the dinning room where Jaucqes is.
Kieron: I thought you said your teammates were here.
You: They must've went upstairs to the dinning room, we have no time to waste, let's go!
Kieron: Yes, sir!
We then head upstairs to go find my team and friends to let them know that this manor had been breached and someone here was spying on us. I won't let that happen, I won't let the vision I had come true. I will do whatever it takes to save the people I'm close to, and the one that I love. I will save these people and I will continue to do what's right for this world.
To be continued.
