Ch 28 Before The Fall

You were laying right besides Nathaniel who was in his own bed in the infirmary after the match. Fortunately you did in fact was able to get a new tooth that same day. Unfortunately you were stuck here for a while longer as they wanted to be sure you two were okay.

Nathaniel: Won't your team fight in the one versus one?

Y/N: Yup.

Nathaniel: And we can't change the channel so we're stuck watching-

Y/N: Yup, we're stuck watching Soap Operas. Though Ruby will record the match.

Nathaniel: Crap. Do you think Roberto will die?

Y/N: Don't you dare talk about Roberto like that. He will live and finally be able to tell his love Bianca how he feels.

Nathaniel: Can't believe we're stuck here watching the same channel.

Y/N: Yup.

Nathaniel: You think your teammate, Yang, will do fine against Mercury?

Y/N: Yeah. I'm sure she will do fine. What's the worse that could happen?

Nathaniel: Technically kill.

Y/N: Huh. (looks at television) Oh god!

Nathaniel: What?

Y/N: Roberto had a long lost twin brother! He was posing as Roberto all this time with the real Roberto just arriving!

Nathaniel: No. No. You're lying.

Y/N: Look at the television then. Apparently his twin brother tried to kill him because he was jealous of his life.

Nathaniel: We've been watching this for too long.

Y/N: Yup. It's this or staring at the wall.

Nathaniel: Well when you put it like that screw it and pass the popcorn.

After a few hours Ruby arrives with a bag of food, but seeing that you were sniffling while wiping your eyes Ruby drops the bag of food and rushes over.

Ruby: What's happening? Are you hurt?! Do I need to call the nurse? Please don't be hurt.

Wiping your eyes you spoke up.

Y/N: Roberto died just as he made up with up with his long lost twin brother.

Ruby: Roberto? Who's Roberto?

Y/N: A character. Was that my food?

Ruby: Uhhhh no. I'll be back.

Walking backwards you see how she kicks the bag to the door only to pick it up as she and it was close to the door.

Y/N: Yup. Nothing suspicious about that. Well Nathaniel is asleep so nothing to do.

Arriving back an hour later Ruby returned to you staring at a wall.

Ruby: Y/N?

Y/N: Frubes.

Ruby: What are you doing?

Y/N: Well the show is over so I'm doing some thinking.

Grabbing a chair Ruby sits next to the bed.

Ruby: What are you thinking?

Y/N: Nothing much. Got to write a letter to my mother. Can't postpone that any longer even if I want to.

Ruby: You know you have to.

Y/N: I know Ruby. I did promise you that I would write a letter at least once a month.

Ruby: What was the last one about?

Y/N: Oh you know. She is asking me how I'm doing at Beacon. If I'm taking care of myself. You know not much when you never develop a mother-son relationship. Oh, and then there was how she asked about you.

Ruby: Me? Why? How does she know about me. Tell me. Tell me.

Y/N: I will. In my last letter I sent a picture of the two of us.

Ruby: And?

Y/N: She on how I'm looking more and more like my dad and that you look good. She was honestly surprise on the fact that I was with someone. Said because she would of thought thang I would've mentioned it sooner.

Getting up from her chair Ruby hugs much to your surprise.

Y/N: First, ow. Second, what was that for?

Ruby: For continuing on doing this. Even if you may not see it now, and maybe if it will never heal fully things will get better.

Y/N: You're the expert on this.

Ruby: Now let's eat!

Y/N: What did you bring?

Ruby: Well remember when I dropped the bag earlier?

Y/N: It was only an hour ago.

Ruby: Well when I went back the place was closed so I got bagels instead. I also brought peanut butter and jelly. I even brought one for Nathaniel.

Eating peanut butter and jelly bagels you see how Ruby began to sway a little as she looked to be tired.

Y/N: You tired?

Ruby: Uh-huh.

Y/N: Want to take a quick nap?

Ruby: Yes.

Climbing onto the medical bed Ruby snuggles up, putting her arm around your torso before going to sleep.

Ruby: Night. Love you.

Y/N: It's the afternoon.

Ruby: You know what I mean.

Y/N: Love you too.

After some minutes you see Nathaniel shoot up from his bed he looks around wide eyed.

Nathaniel: What happened?

Y/N: Roberto died.

Nathaniel: Damn.

Y/N: Though not before being able to make up with his long lost twin brother. Also Rosa brought you a bagel.

Nathaniel: Who's Rosa?

Y/N: Girlfriend. I just call her by nicknames. There's jelly and peanut butter in the bag.

Nathaniel: Well thank her for me when you get the chance.

Y/N: Well I'm going to sleep.

Nathaniel: I'll give you two your privacy.

Nathaniel then slides the privacy curtain that was between the two of you.

Y/N: Thanks.

Nathaniel: No problem.

Looking up to the ceiling as you preferred on sleeping on your back you put one hand over your torso before you suddenly feeling Ruby grabbing into your hand to and intertwining it with hers. Closing your eyes you go to sleep with Ruby by your side.

Waking up you look to your right only to see that Ruby was gone.

Nathaniel: She woke up thirty minutes into the nap. Some blonde came. Then Ruby told me to tell you that her team was going out for a celebration or something.

Y/N: Hmmm.

Nathaniel: Said how since you can't leave it would be better to let keep on sleeping. Ruby said she will bring you food. Then this other person with white hair said she will forget so she will likely be the one have to remember as she was forgetful with these things. Then the blonde one pumped her fist in the air, yelling how it's going to be a girls night out since you can't go. There was one person black hair but she didn't say anything. Had a book.

Y/N: Now what?

Nathaniel: Well we're stuck here until the next day.

Y/N: Really?

Nathaniel: Yup, said to make sure given to them at the end it looked like we were trying to kill each other. They were confuse why we would keep on fighting with shattered auras.

Y/N: Said anything?

Nathaniel: That I only regretted that thing I did with your eyes as being rammed through a wall was not fun. Other than that the doctor  said how we would had to stay longer but the call came from you know who. So yeah. In all being stabbed is not fun three out of ten.

As the next day arrives news trickled in of the incident that transpired of the match between Mercury and Yang. The moment you had the chance to check out you went headed straight to your team room.

Y/N: Out of the way!

Rushing pass some people, opening the door you entered.

Yang: Y/N, you believe me rig-

Y/N: Yang, you may be known for your anger and ma-

Yang: I DIDN'T DO IT!

Y/N: Let me finish.

Yang: Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.

Y/N: Look the point is you wouldn't let your emotions get the best of you. Something is up with that team. I know for certain that one of them has been watching me but frankly they did a piss poor job. They could of been spying on us to see weaknesses for the tournament.

Yang: Yeah... YEAH! Do you remember that time Emerald asks us who were we putting in the doubles?

Y/N: Yeah. I was the one who said not to say anything.

Yang: Then how come you haven't you been spying them yourself. You know do the thing you do best.

Y/N: Look, I've been busy. Besides you know there's school and all. Then there's the fact I have not been doing things like that as I want to experience the more normal life for the few years I have at Beacon Academy. You know as that's the whole reason my dad send me here. 

Yang: Okay.

Y/N: I can get more specific like the time that is spent with your sister. She takes up a lot of my time. Then there is the training.

Yang: Okay. Alright. Y/N, I get it.

Y/N: But now I will put my full attention on them as once they mess with one of our team they mess with all of us.

Getting down from her bed Yang hugs you in a bone crushing hug that lifts you up from the air. Seeing you suffocating she put you down.

Y/N: Thanks.

Yang: You're the best! What are you going to do?

Y/N: I'm going to see if Mercury didn't fake his injury.

Yang: But Mercury left on the bullhead to return home.

Y/N: Maybe but that would be a good excuse to leave so that others can't inspect the injury. I'm going to go now. Gotta find your sister as she can look on the ground while I check the air traffic control records.

Yang: And how do you plan on doing that?

Y/N: I have my ways. I'm going to bribe a kid to act like he's my little brother. Then he'll act like his dream is to be a air traffic controller.

Going to the air traffic towers you were trying to call Ruby but your scroll died.

Y/N: Damn. Scroll died.

Going up to a person to ask to use their scroll unbeknownst to everyone in the vicinity there was two people on top of a building that was overlooking the area. One of these was calling their superior with their comms.

Warsaw: Sir? Sir? Are all of the bullheads grounded?

Kremlin: Yes, and with the attack done early the Grimm will arrive later. This means more people will be able to evacuate.

Kremlin heard an audible sigh on the comms before the person continued talking.

Warsaw: This'll be Mountain Glenn all over again. I'm going to need a stiff when this is all said and done sir.

Kremlin: Remember we are doing this for a good cause... Even if this may not seem like it now at the moment. Sure Cinder will succeed and react accordingly to this but she will not have a complete success. And with this much confusion Cinder will be unable to know if we played the roles she intended for us. Warsaw, remember this is why we turned our back on the Division. To do what they refused to.

Warsaw: I guess as long as we can get as much out in time.

Kremlin: If we do not do this even more will perish. And for what exactly? Just so some old hag could be one step closer for her plan? No. What this will do is finally wake up Remnant. This plan of theirs is a double-edged and they do not even know it yet. Kremlin out.

Faraway from Warsaw, Aero, or what his call-sign Kremlin radioed in Budapest.

Kremlin: Bucharest.

Bucharest: Read you loud and clear boss. I am with Budapest.

Kremlin: Is the drop off zones altered?

Bucharest: Let me see. Hey! Budapest, has the drop off zones been altered?

Budapest: (faintly in the background) What did I say about being quiet? I'm working here and it takes quite a bit of work but yeah.

Bucharest: Well yes. Coordinates has been changed for the White Fang drop zones.

Kremlin: Good, I do not want who basically amounts to terrorists to not go out unscathed. Would be a plus if Adam dies but I doubt that but the same cannot be said for a lot of those that follow him. Right where the Grimm are. Kremlin out.

As the comms disconnected Bucharest looks to his comrade.

Bucharest: Man, I would hate to have his job.

Budapest: Idiot, you do have his job.

Bucharest: Hey, I follow. Not lead. There's a huge difference.

Budapest: May god have mercy upon our  souls for what we're taking part in.

Bucharest: You knew what you were doing since the start.

Budapest: Like you said with following and leading it is the same with knowing what has to be done and doing it.

Bucharest: That's what we were train for.

Budapest: Well then. Looks like Warsaw will need a drink for what he's about to do.

Bucharest: And Kiev?

Budapest: If Kremlin didn't say we have no need of knowing. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he's preparing the drinks because of all the innocent blood that will be on our hands.

As the two went back to the safehouse as the job was done Warsaw was still on a roof but was waiting for Kremlin's final order. Pacing back and forth he waited until he radioed in.

Kremlin: Do it. Remember no loose ends. Kremlin out.

With that Warsaw looks to the White Fang grunt giving him the signal to get ready.

WF Grunt: Are you sure we're suppose to be enacting the attack early?

Expecting the grunt to ask questions he had lies readied.

Warsaw: Change of plans Cinder moved up the schedule of the plan. I'm sure you know how much of a bitch she can be to those that are under her.

WF Grunt: (chuckles) I'm glad that I wasn't posted under her.

Looking below Warsaw saw the grounds that was alive. People going about with their lives and going about to their destination. Closing his eyes for a moment he whispers something to himself.

Warsaw: Please forgive me.

Opening his eyes he sees the grunt inserting the warhead in the RPG-7. Loading a single round in a magnum he stands just enough to he out of the backblast.

Warsaw: Fire.

The grunt fires and turning his head he met the barrel of the magnum on his forehand.

Warsaw: Sorry. No loose ends.

He fires, killing the grunt before pushing the body off of the building. He takes one look at the carnage as everyone screamed and were running in all directions before walking away with a heavy heart not knowing of the scene that just transpired.

On the grounds, heading a commotion you look look up to see where the people were pointing at. You immediately saw the White Fang Grunt aiming at the people below with an RPG-7. Seeing this you knew what had to be done. Something incredibly stupid.

Just as the White Fang fired you activate the Survivor Link for the damage resistance and the added speed. Watching the warhead fired you were already running to it with your two swords drawn out. Jumping off of the ground you cross your sword, taking the blast to save the civilians aimed at. Once contact wise the warhead was made suddenly everything turn black in an instant.

A/N: Well that is the chapter so into what I planned to say. As for the last author's note concerning Pyrrha's fate I am not surprised by what you all chose. Well, guess I will have to figure it out. I think a part that makes me think is figuring on how to write Jaune's and Pyrrha's relationship.
