Part 40: The Fall Of Beacon/Aftermath


Oh boy 5700 words! That's like more than twice a normal chapter length. Buckle up.


We were out in the docks outside of Beacon. Air buses are seen picking up the last few civilians and students. Peter Port and Bartholomew Oobleck oversee the evacuation.

Port: That's it! Everybody on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!

Oobleck: A safe zone has been established in Vale! Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel!

Weiss Schnee stares at what is in front of her, in disbelief. As Ruby and Y/n came running down the path, Zwei barks to alert Weiss to her leader's presence, and Weiss turns around to greet her. I had recovered enough from my injuries to the point where I at least wouldn't become dead weight.

Weiss: Ruby, Y/n!

Ruby: Oh, we found you!

Weiss: Where have you both-

Ruby: Don't worry, I'm fine! What's going on?

Unsure of what to say, Weiss lowers her gaze sadly.

Ruby: Weiss? What is it?

Weiss steps aside, giving Ruby a clear view of Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long lying on the ground. Both girls have bandages wrapped around their wounds, and the latter is unconscious. Behind them sat Nora.

Y/n: No....

Valkyrie and Lie Ren, who are too battered and bruised to fight. Blake reaches over and places her hand on Yang's.

Blake: I'm sorry. (She gets tears in her eyes)

Ruby reaches out and opens her mouth to say something, but in her emotional state, she doesn't know what to say.

Blake: (Curls up, closing her eyes) I'm so sorry.

Ruby: Yang...

Sun: (Walking over) Hey. She's gonna be okay. The soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys to Vale.

Nora: But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing.
Nora attempts to stand, but she quickly sits back down, groaning and holding her side.

Ruby: What!?

Y/n: Did they go with Ozpin?

Nora nodded.

Sun: (Interrupting) Look, guys, that giant Grimm is circling the school! Even the White Fang are pulling out! We all have to go, now!

Ren: We're not... leaving! (He stands up, but then falls to his knees) Ugh!

Sun turns and casts a worried look at Blake.

Ruby: I'll find them... I'll find them, and I'll bring them back.

Y/n: No! Ruby, You're not going!

Ruby: What!? Why?

Y/n: Its too dangerous!

Weiss: What's so dangerous that's at the tower?

Y/n: ... Just listen to me, okay? You'll get yourself hurt.

Ruby: But we need to get Pyrrha!

Y/n: ...

Ruby: I'm going weather you like it or not Y/n Brunswick. Now are you going to come with me or not?

Y/n: ...Fine.

Weiss: And I'm coming with you. (Turns to Nora and Ren) Watch after Blake and Yang. We'll be back.

Me, Ruby and Weiss run back toward Beacon Academy, while Sun watches them go.

Sun: You better be! Idiots.

We were running toward the

The tree of us are on their way back to Beacon campus, when Weiss' Scroll begins ringing.

Weiss: It's Jaune! (She answers) Where are you?

Jaune: (In the street somewhere in Vale. There's panic in his voice) Weiss! Please, you have to stop her!

Weiss: What!?

Jaune: Pyrrha! She's going after that woman at the top of the tower! She doesn't stand a chance!

Weiss: Jaune, what are you talking about!? Where are you?

Jaune: (He shouts into the Scroll's speaker) Don't worry about me! (He leans against a wall and speaks at a normal volume, his voice full of sadness now) Please, you have to save Pyrrha.

Y/n: "a woman that doesn't stand a chance against Pyrrha? She's probably a maiden. This is such a stupid idea."

Weiss: We will. Are you okay?

With one last flare of emotion, Jaune screams and throws his Scroll onto the ground, breaking it. He collapses onto his hands and knees, crying.

Jaune: Please...

Weiss: Jaune? Jaune!

The ground shakes, alerting the three to the danger that approaches them. The Wyvern flies into view, circling Beacon Tower with black ooze dripping from it. It perches on one of the arches stemming from the tower and utters a screech. Ruby draws Crescent Rose, shifting it into its scythe form in preparation for the Grimm spawning from the ooze.

Y/n spins his hand cannon and stares at the grim slightly angered.

Ruby: I have a plan.

Weiss: (Draws Myrtenaster) You always do.

At the top of the tower, in Ozpin's office, a large amount of smoke flows out from the elevator, masking the entrance of Cinder Fall. She confidently strides to the window across the room, a smirk on her face. As if sensing her presence, the Wyvern climbs up to the top, peers at her through the window, and screeches.

Cinder: (With a gentle, comforting tone) Shhhh... This is your home now.

The Wyvern stares at her and utters a shorter, quieter screech. Cinder backs away from the window and holds her hand out to the side, creating a fireball in her palm. The sound of sparks distracts her, and she looks over her shoulder at the elevator, her fireball dissipating. After a few moments, the sparks come to a stop, and immediately upon the elevator doors' opening, Pyrrha's spear flies toward Cinder, who casually leans to her right to dodge with a smirk on her face.

The spear is soon followed by Pyrrha's shield, backed by Pyrrha herself, and Cinder puts her arms up, blocking it and pushing it away. While Cinder uses fire to hover in the air, Pyrrha calls her spear and shield back to her with polarity, staring down her opponent. Cinder gains a fiery glow around her eyes and swipes her hand through the air, attacking Pyrrha with an arc of fire. She then shoots a stream of fire, which Pyrrha dives over.

Six small fireballs form in a circle behind Cinder, and she sends another streak of fire toward Pyrrha, who barely avoids it. Once again, the Maiden sends a stream of fire the young redhead's way, but this time, Pyrrha blocks it with her shield. She leaps toward Cinder, powering through the flame, and as soon as the fire stops, she spins around and slashes Cinder's arm with her spear. However, Cinder catches the blade and pulls, turning Pyrrha around. Cinder slams her palm into Pyrrha's stomach, and fire bursts forth, blasting Pyrrha away.

Pyrrha slams into a wall and falls to her hands and knees. She then stands back up and faces Cinder with determination still in her eyes. Cinder propels herself forward with flames jetting from her hands, smirking once again. She attempts to slam into Pyrrha's abdomen, but Pyrrha leaps into the air above her and wraps her arm around Cinder's. As Cinder slows to a stop, Pyrrha positions herself to place her feet on the wall behind her and pushes off, flipping herself over Cinder. She uses the momentum to flip and toss Cinder across the floor.

Cinder lands on her front and, as she slides, she pushes off the floor to get back on her feet and perform a back-handspring. Her smirk turns into a look of slight concern upon the sight of Pyrrha charging forward to slam her shield into Cinder's abdomen and push her over. As Cinder stumbles backwards, Pyrrha hits Cinder's right hand with the blunt end of her spear, then slashes Cinder's left hand with the spear's blade. She then spins around and slashes across Cinder's abdomen and legs.

Pyrrha spins around to attack again, but Cinder performs a backflip whilst kicking Pyrrha, with flames trailing behind her foot. The kick knocks Pyrrha into the air, and Pyrrha quickly rights herself. She flips her spear in her grip, holds it back, and then tosses it toward Cinder while firing the gun mechanism. Six fireballs appear around Cinder again, but they dissipate when Cinder backhands the spear away. Pyrrha's shield then flies toward her, and she hits it away, as well. After being momentarily distracted by the shield, Cinder returns her attention to Pyrrha and gains a look of slight surprise, then annoyances

Pyrrha launches herself toward Cinder and puts her arms around her, tackling her. The two turn each other in mid-air, fighting to be the one on top. Upon their landing, the room fills with a white cloud. When the dust settles, Pyrrha has Cinder in a choke hold, and Cinder is barely managing to hold Pyrrha's spear away from her neck. The Wyvern flies away, and Cinder's eyes begin glowing as she applies heat to the spear in her hands. Her grip tightens as she heats the spear more and more, staring over her shoulder at Pyrrha.

Upon hearing a loud screech, Cinder turns her gaze ahead and smirks, while Pyrrha gains a look of fear. While Pyrrha sets her focus on the Wyvern that is flying toward the tower, Cinder finally snaps the spear's melted blade into pieces. Just before the Wyvern slams its wing into the roof of Ozpin's office, Cinder elbows Pyrrha in the abdomen. The room fills with a green glow as the windows shatter and Pyrrha goes flying across the room. Giant cogs and debris come crashing down in the office, and the structure containing the CCT's transmitter falls to the ground outside, in pieces.

Pyrrha crawls toward her shield, while Cinder watches on from her position levitating off the floor with flame jetting from her feet. While looking for a way to distract Cinder, Pyrrha notices Ozpin's collapsed metal desk and uses her polarity to throw it at the corrupt Maiden, knocking her to the floor. She then quickly grabs her shield and rolls across the floor, sitting up on her knees and holding the shield up. With a burst of flame, Cinder throws the desk off of herself and levitates in the air.

Pyrrha rolls out of the way of two streams of fire that Cinder sends her way and attempts to block a third. However, the force of the third sends Pyrrha tumbling backward, and the floor momentarily catches fire while Pyrrha rolls to her feet. From behind the wall of flame, Pyrrha throws her shield at Cinder, who confidently backhands it away. She then looks up in surprise to see a multitude of giant cogs floating in the air around her. Using her polarity, Pyrrha directs her shield to knock Cinder's feet from beneath her and then slams a cog down on Cinder's abdomen to pin her to the floor. She calls her shield back to her arm, then brings the cogs together into a pile on top of Cinder. However, Cinder blasts them away with a powerful burst of fire, sending them in all directions. One of the cogs flies toward Pyrrha, who raises her shield to block, in vain. The force of the impact slams her into the remains of a wall, taking away the last of her Aura.

Cinder: Tell me girl. Where is Y/n?

Pyrrha: Y/n? I dont know!?

Cinder grunted in annoyance.

On the ground below, Ruby and Weiss fight off Grimm.

Ruby: We've gotta hurry!

Weiss looks around for a moment, before casting a series of glyphs up the side of the tower.

Weiss: You can do this.

Ruby runs forward, then uses her Semblance to propel herself up to the first glyph. She then sprints up the wall, the glyphs propelling her forward and keeping her from falling off. My eyes widened. I couldn't let Ruby go and take a maiden on her own. I jumped with her and went up the tower.

Cinder forms an obsidian bow in her hand. As she raises it up and draws back an obsidian arrow, Pyrrha charges forward, spins, and throws her shield at her. Cinder looses the arrow, which shatters upon impact with the side of the shield. However, as the fragments part ways above and below the shield, they glow orange and rejoin each other on the other side.

The fragments melt into each other and cool into the shape of an arrow, which continues on its path directly into Pyrrha's ankle. Pyrrha collapses in pain. She attempts to pull herself to her feet, but the pain is too much. Both ends of the arrow break off, making removal impossible. She turns over onto her hands and knees as Cinder moves to stand in front of her.

Cinder: It's unfortunate you were promised a power that was never truly yours. (She kneels down and lifts Pyrrha's chin, staring into her eyes and smiling) But take comfort in knowing that I will use it in ways you could never have imagined.

Pyrrha: (She pulls away, sitting up and matching Cinder's stare) Do you believe in destiny?

Cinder: (Frowns, narrowing her eyes) Yes.

Cinder stands back up and forms an obsidian bow and arrow again. She pulls back the arrow, lowering the bow to aim at her weakened opponent. Nearby, Ruby with a few seconds after I on Ruby's right finally reached the top of the tower, landing in a kneeling position.

She looks upon the scene, seeing Pyrrha sitting with her eyes closed, accepting the fate that awaits her.

Cinder looses the arrow, which plants itself directly in the center of Pyrrha's chest. Ruby watches in horror as Pyrrha gasps in pain, the wound in her chest emitting a red glow. Cinder approaches her fallen foe and places a hand on Pyrrha's head, using her Maiden powers to flash incinerate her.

Y/n: No! Stop! (Pulls out weapon)

Pyrrha instantly ceases all movement and sound, her body glowing orange and then scattering as embers. Her headdress remains in Cinder's hand, and the villain drops it on the floor. She smiled towards Y/n. This scene is reflected in Ruby's silver eyes, which widen in despair and become filled with tears. Ruby clenches her fists, curls her arms to her body, and then suddenly flings her arms out to the sides, beginning to levitate slightly off the ground.

I felt a strange feeling that I had never felt before. I looked at Ruby and saw that I felt danger coming towards her. I abandoned everything and went towards the ground and Put my arms over my head and I curled my legs in as tightly as possible. I didn't know why I was doing this. It was more out a reflex action.

Brilliant white light flows from her eyes as she screams out the name of her dear friend.

Ruby: PYRRHAAAAAA!!!!

The white light envelopes her, spreading out to the Wyvern and Cinder.

Cinder: (In complete shock) WHAT?!

Y/n: AAAAAAHHHHHHH! (Screams of agony and pain)

The place goes white, with a whistle noise playing for several seconds. A pair of voices echo from nearby.

3rd person

Qrow: It's alright. I got ya, kiddo. I got- ...Y/n? Is that you? (Puts fingers on neck) (Sigh of relief when he hears a feint pulse)

Pause. Radio static can be heard in the background.

Tai: (Sigh) Nothing.

Qrow: Just turn it off. Without the CCT, there's no point.

Tai: Communication down across the entire Kingdom, no way to contact the outside world... and Ozpin's still missing.

Qrow: Yeah.

Tai: This is bad, Qrow.

Qrow: Yeah, this is bad.

3rd Person

We Ruby asleep in an unfamiliar bed, wearing gray pajamas. Birds are tweeting and sunlight is streaming onto the wall behind the bed's headboard. Y/n was sleeping on the bed next to her. He had his whole left arm and Parts of his left leg that were gone. And burn marks were present on his body.

After a few seconds, she wakes up and looks over to see her father asleep in a chair. She sits up and sighs quietly, causing Taiyang to stir awake.

Tai: Ruby! (He gets up and runs to kneel by her bed) You're awake!

Ruby: Ugh... what happened?

Tai: Your uncle Qrow found you, unconscious. He got you out of there, though, and brought you home safe.

Ruby: (Looks down in thought for a split second, then looks at Taiyang) Wait! Yang! Is she alright!?

Tai: Uh... She's uh... she's gonna be alright. I think she's just... I think it's just gonna take some time for her to get used to things. She's too strong to let this stop her. (He covers his eyes for a moment, sniffling, then looks up, smiling) I'm just glad to have my girls back at home.

Ruby: What happened to the school?! And Vale?! Were they able to clear out the Grimm?

Tai: Things at Vale are under control, but the school... It's... it's not that simple. That thing, whatever it is, doesn't seem to be dead. Don't get me wrong, you did a number on it. But it's not disappearing. It's... kind of... frozen. I know that doesn't sound too bad, but it keeps attracting more Grimm to the school.

Ruby: (She tilts her head) I did... what?

Tai: Hmm?

Ruby: You said I did a number on it. What do you mean?

Tai: I... Look that's not important right now. We can talk about it later-

Ruby: What about Y/n!? Where is he!?- (Gasps as she noticed him) Y/n! (She gets up and runs toward him).

Ruby looked at him in tears. He had lost his left arm. Had Severe burn Mark's on his left sides. Parts of his leg was gone right now. And black steam was rising from his wounds. Ruby was slightly angered.

Ruby: Who did this to him!? Will he be okay!?

Tai: He'll be fine. He's... He's going to be okay. I know it doesn't look like it, but he will get better. Things are just kind of a mess right now.

Qrow: It's always a mess.

Ruby and Taiyang look to see Qrow suddenly standing in the room, near the door. He finishes off the contents of his flask before continuing.

Qrow: Mind if we have a minute?

Taiyang: What, I can't stay here?!

Qrow: Tai. Please.

Taiyang stands up, sighs, and then leans in to kiss Ruby on the forehead.

Taiyang: I'm glad you're alright. (He starts walking away) I'll go make us some tea.

Taiyang glares at Qrow on the way out, but the latter doesn't appear to care. As Qrow approaches Ruby Sitting on Y/n's bed. He grabs the chair and drags it with him. He then spins it around to face the bed and sits in it with a significant slouch, crossing one leg over the other.

Ruby was sitting on Y/n's bed on the right of him. She pushed his slightly to the side so that there was space for her. She sat and was extremely saddened and confused.

Qrow: So, how you feeling?

Ruby: Um... I kind of hurt... all over.

Qrow: (Chuckles) That makes sense, after what you did. (He crosses his arms)

Ruby: You guys keep saying that! That I did something! What are you talking about?! Plus that's not important right now. Y/n's hurt!

Qrow: (He uncrosses his arms and legs, leaning forward in the chair and ignores her last statement) What's the last thing you remember?

Ruby: I.. ran up the side of the tower, and when I got to the top, I... (She gasps, sadness in her eyes) Pyrrha! Is she...?

Qrow: (He looks down) She's gone.

Ruby: I... (Tears fill her eyes) I... I got to the top... (She begins crying) and I saw Pyrrha... (She looks angry) and Cinder... (She grips Y/n's blanket, tears falling onto it) and then everything went white!

Qrow: Anything else?

Ruby: I remember... (Wiping the tears from her eyes) my head hurting.

Qrow: The night you met Ozpin, what was the first thing he said to you?

Ruby: I... I don't know. I think it was something about...

???: (Struggling) Sliver eyes?

They both look to see Y/n Trying to get in a sitting position on his bed. Ruby gasped and put one hand on his back and one hand on his chest. She lifted him up assisting him in what he was trying to do.

Y/n's POV

My head was hurting. I was extremely dizzy and I was struggling to breathe properly. Each of my breaths were hazy. I looked to see that Ruby was on my right sitting next to me on the bed.

Ruby: Y/n!

Y/n: (Coughing)

Qrow: Kid, are you okay?

Y/n: (Weakened) I'll be fine.

Ruby: But your not! Your hurt. Badly.

Y/n: They'll... (Grunt) Grow back.

Ruby: Grow... back?

Ruby looked at Qrow confused.

Qrow: You're special, Ruby. Both of you are. And not in the "Daddy loves his special angel" kind of way. Ruby, You're special the same way your mom was. Remnant's full of legends and stories, some of them true, some made up. But there's one Oz told me from a very long time ago. Back before Huntsmen, before Kingdoms, it was said that those born with silver eyes were destined to lead the life of a warrior. You see, the creatures of Grimm, the most fearsome monsters mankind had ever encountered, were afraid of those silver-eyed warriors. They were the best of the best. It was said that even a single look from one of these fighters could strike a Grimm down. Heh. It's a ridiculous story.

Ruby: But... you think that I might be...

Qrow: (Chuckles) Well, a giant monster is currently frozen on top of Beacon Tower. And you're here, safe at home.

Ruby: But, Y/n doesn't have silver eyes?

Qrow: That's right. Y/n is special. Very special. He's from a bloodline that was the opposite of silver eyed warriors. They were said to be extinct from a war almost 2 centuries ago. They hunted each other which is why silver eyes are also so rare. But the silver eyed warriors had the edge and won. They killed of all the L/n's and anyone believed to be one. It's a legend that isn't well known but it's true. They can grow back lost limbs. They have special abilities and have attributes that humans don't have. I can go into more detail later, but the war ended with The L/n's believing to be extinct and that was the case for quite a long time. I Guess, Y/n just slipped through the cracks, Somehow. Thats why he had to

Ruby: So... Y/n will be okay?

Y/n: Give me.. A day. I'll look as good as new.

Ruby: (Smiling) Thank god.

He gets to his feet and walks over to a window, leaning on the sill and staring outside. Ruby realized something.

Ruby: Wait, wait, how did you know what Ozpin said to me... the night we met?

Qrow: All those missions I go on... all the times I'm away in some far-off place... it's been for Ozpin. But he's missing now. Something's been set in motion. With Oz gone, I'll have to pick up where he left off.

Ruby: Then what can we do? If were so special, then we can help, right?

Qrow: You really wanna help? Get some rest like Y/n. You two no condition to go anywhere right now. (He starts heading to the door) Besides, our enemy's trail leads all the way to Haven. That'd be quite a trip for a pipsqueak like you. (Winks) Catch ya later, kiddo. (He leaves)

Ruby sits with me for a while. Nothing was said. We were just there. Not really know what to say to each other. Ruby looked at me deep into my eyes. She put my blanket over me. I winced in pain at her action.

Ruby: Oh! (Smiling) Sorry.

I smiled at her antics. She laid her head next to me and gently put her hand on my chest.

Ruby: I'm so glad your going to be okay.

Y/n: (Struggling) I'm glad your okay too.

Ruby: Wait! (Sharply gets up with hand still on my chest) Who did this to you?

I looked away. Ruby didn't know what I meant but after a few seconds of silence she gasped. She didn't want to believe it.

Ruby: Y/n...

I looked at her. She had tears again in her eyes once again.

Ruby: Did... Did I... (Looks at arm then at me) Do this to you...?

I looked down and my body sunk which gave Ruby her answer. She didn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it. She put the pieces together and realized that when she did... that. It probably put Y/n In this condition. She started sobbing. She gently put her arm around me.

Ruby: I'm so sorry, Y/n. I'm so sorry.

I put my hand on Ruby's head.

Y/n: Its okay Ruby.

Ruby: (Muffled) but it's not. I hurt you Y/n. I could've killed you.

Y/n: You did what you had to do. And I'm glad you did.

Eventually Ruby's light sobbing came to a halt she sniffles and rubbed her eyes of the pillow. It was silent for a while. She scooted up and came even close.

Ruby: I love you, Y/n.

Y/n: I love you too...

Tai: ... Ahem.

Ruby eyes opened quicker than the speed of light. She knew she was done for. She sharply got up and Got herself off which made me wince in pain. Tai had a bowl of food in a tray. He put it on Ruby's bed.

Y/n: "Please... I'm already dead"

Ruby: U-Umm. D-Dad umm I... uhh.

Tai: Qrow already told me about... Your boyfriend. Even though I did tell you not to have one until your older.

Ruby: But.. (Looks down) ...

She knew Tai was right. That was one of the things that He had specifically told her not to do. She didn't want to be separated from Y/n.

Tai: But.. Just this once I'll make an exception. Qrow told me he did well against him. And Yang said positive things. I watched his exhibition and he impressed me. He's only 15 as well.

Ruby: (Looks at Y/n with a smile) Actually... he's turning 16 tomorrow. (Looks back at Tai)

Tai: Really? I'll bake a cake.

Ruby: I'll make a small one too!

Tai: Oh! Ill get you some food as well. What would you like?

Y/n: Umm.. Whatever there is, I don't mind.

Tai: A sandwich?

Y/n: Umm, I kind of, Cant... (shows his arm that has healed to half of his bicep).

I remembered when I used one hand to eat a sandwich and everything fell out.

Tai: Oh!

Ruby: I'll feed him!

My eyes widened in Embarrassment. Ruby didn't change her expression she thought what she said was okay. I stumbled on my words. Tai crossed his arms.

Y/n: N-No! (Coughs from shouting)

Tai: Cereal?

Y/n: (Nervous smile) Sure.

He then left. I shot a lighthearted glare at Ruby. She stood confused.

Ruby: What?

Y/n: Everytime I meet one of your overprotective Family members you dig me a even deeper grave.

Ruby: (Scratches back of head) Sorry.

Y/n: (Laughing while coughing) I'm joking. Well, Im not. But it's okay... Speaking of which (Cough) Is Yang okay?

Ruby: Yeah shes in the other room. Let's go see her.

Y/n: Yeah. Get a... wheelchair. I don't think I'll be able to walk for a few hours.

Ruby: Okay!

She goes out the room and I take a moment to myself. I looked at my arm. Well.. what I had left of it.

Y/n: So... In the space of 24 hours I lost my arm, P-Penny... Pyrrha... Wait, what the rest of our team? I guess I'll ask Yang.

"Sigh"

I stuck my severed arm into the sky.

Y/n: I don't know what to do... Everything happened so fast. I wanna see Uncle Cayde... I wanna go home.

I heard the door open. I saw Qrow.

Qrow: Hey there Y/n. How you holding up?

Y/n: I'm surviving. I've lost a few arms here and there had a leg gone before. Nothing too bad.

Qrow: Its good that you've still got your jokes. Even though they're terrible.

Y/n: Hey! (Cough) I thought my jokes were good.

Qrow: I was only kidding. I heard you threatened Ironwood when he told you to come with him. That's a ballsy move.

Y/n: My teammates needed help.

Qrow: That's true. But remember, even though you don't like it, sometimes you have to follow the rules.

Y/n: Would you have done the same thing in my shoes?

Qrow: That's not the point... But I do appreciate you looking out for my Niece's.

Y/n: They aren't children. They're strong. I guess they had good role models. Heh.

Qrow: I see alot of myself in you Y/n. Well, Sometimes.

Y/n: Is that a good thing (Cough) or a bad thing?

Qrow: Hmm... I guess both. So, with everything that happened, what are you going to do?

Y/n: I don't know.. I normally know what to do but now... (Looks out window) I have no idea.

Qrow: I guess that's a good thing. Because, I don't want you to stay too far away from this house without someone like me, Tai or Cayde.

Y/n: Got it... And you don't think Tai will be annoyed I'll be staying?

Qrow: I don't think so. So long as you help with the house. (Puts finger up) And you don't Pull anything on R-

Ruby: Hello Uncle Qrow!

She walks past with a wheelchair and comes to me.

Qrow: H-Hey there kiddo.

She put an arm around my back but I pull forward. I didn't want to be treated like a baby.

Y/n: I can do it myself.

I put my blanket out and put my hands on the wheelchair. I pulled myself on the wheelchair and I grunted loudly in pain. Ruby looked at me and Sighed. By this point Qrow had already left.

Ruby: Its okay you know. You don't have to do everything yourself.

Y/n: (Chuckling) That's true, but I'm not a baby.

Ruby: (Chuckle) That's a shame because I got you some whole milk.

Y/n: Where!? (Coughing harder)

Ruby: Are you okay?

Y/n: I don't think I should be... shouting anytime soon. How does Gordon do this all day.

Yang sits alone in a spare bedroom, staring out a window. Her remaining piece of Ember Celica rests on the nightstand next to the bed. Ruby stands in the doorway with Y/n in a wheelchair.

Ruby: Yang?

She waits for a moment, but when she receives no response from Yang, she turns to leave.

Yang: Ruby.

Ruby turns back around, and Yang turns her head to look at her younger sister, tears now in her eyes. Ruby runs over and hugs her.

Ruby: I'm so glad you're okay!

Yang: But I'm not.

I had went forward with my hand pushing the wheel chair ultimately getting me closer to the two. Ruby frowns and releases the hug.

Yang: It's all gone - the school, Penny, Pyrrha, and... (She looks at her severed arm)

Ruby: Yang, where are Weiss and Blake?

Yang: Weiss' father... came for her.

Ruby: What? What do you mean?

Yang: No one outside of Vale knows what happened here. Before the tower fell, the last thing people saw was Atlas attacking innocent people and Grimm destroying the city. Everyone's scared. No one knows who to trust. So, Weiss' father came to take her back to Atlas, where he thinks it's safe. She's gone.

Ruby: Well, what about-

Yang: And Blake ran! Sun saw her go. After we got to the city, she just... ran!

Ruby: But... why!?

Yang: I don't know... and I don't care.

Ruby: There has to be a reason she-

Yang: No, there doesn't! Sometimes bad things just happen, Ruby!

Ruby: So, what do we do now?

Yang: You can do whatever you want. I'm gonna lie here.

Y/n: Things will get better Yang. I promise.

Yang frowned and looked at my arm. She looked at how it grew abit before she last saw me.

Yang: (Scoffs) That's easy for you to say.

Y/n: Wh... What do you mean?

Yang: You can just grow your arm back. I can't.

Y/n: ...

I was slightly taken aback to Yang's coldness towards me. I never really expected it but I guess it made sense. She was still recovering. So was I.

Ruby: Yang...

Yang: Just leave me alone.

Ruby slowly leaves the room with Y/n, but she pauses in the doorway, looking over her shoulder to say one last thing.

Ruby: I love you.

After a brief pause in silence Ruby closed the Door. She didnt expect to hear an answer back but she still wanted to try. She looked at my gloomy face as we started to go to our room.

Ruby: I don't think Yang meant what she said, Y/n.

Y/n: Nope. She did. But it's okay. It's only normal.

Ruby: I guess so. I still cant believe what happened with Blake.

Y/n: Yeah. Me too. It's kind of like how she revealed how she was a Faunus. It's just, we cant find her.

Ruby looked down. In this situation with Blake, She was helpless. She couldn't do anything about it.

Ruby: There has to be a reason.

Y/n: Maybe she just wanted to go home? That's my best guess.

Ruby pondered this thought. She figured he may be right. Although... it doesn't really change much. She still ran away and Weiss was also separated from us.

Y/n: Ruby, We'll see them again. I promise.

OH BOY WHAT A WAY TO END THE VOLUME. I want to do a mini Arc with Y/n where he comes to term with everything that has happened so... technically were not finished? It will only be a few chapters long. AND I'm also doing a few Episodes of RWBY CHIBI! It will have original scenes. But yeah. The chapter after this will be bonus chapters. I feel like my writing skills have improved a ton too.

What did you guys think of the plot that I have set for Y/n. I thought I integrated it with the RWBY Backstory as cleverly as possible. If there are any questions about it then let me know!

PEACE OUT

This is a 8/10
