chapter 41 A shadow of Doubt and one's true colors
Darth Venomous POV.
Currently Darth Celleus, Cinder, dr. Watts and Mercury are standing in the center of a circle of armed Bandits each one fearfully pointing their weapons at the ones who had so rudely barged into their home while the one known as Shadow accompanied by a woman named Vernal staring at them with his hidden eyes.
Cinder: I am cinderfall this is my associate Arthur Watts my discipled Mercury black and finally this is my Mistresses associate Darth Venomous.
Shadow mind: wow the cinder track really has a horrible case of egomania.
Shadow: now tell me young Cinder what is it that you have come for?
Cinder: you have something my mistress wants the long-lost spring Maiden of course if I'm wrong
Cinder precedes to raise her left hand and produce a small fire in a threatening manner.
Cinder: so prove to us you are the spring Maiden
Shadow: of course Vernal if you would be so kind.
Vernal begins to pretend to concentrate well unbeknownst to Cinder Shadow is drawing upon 15% of his power storm clouds begin to gather the ground begins to quake and finally the wind blows fiercely effectively proving to Cinder that Vernal is the spring Maiden even Darth Venomous is convinced thanks to his lack of true experience with a full-fledged Maiden.
Shadow: Bernal has done well under my tutelage I take that into consideration before trying anything rash.
Cinder: Shadow I won't underestimate you so please don't insult my intelligence there is a slim chance you and your maiden can escape here but if you know our Master as well as your predecessor claim to then you know you could never truly Escape her but we come bearing an olive branch
Watts: the maidens are merely a means to an end Salem's true desires are the relics locked within the Huntsman academies come with us allow Vernal here to unlock the relic of knowledge and all previous acts of defiance against Salem will be forgiven it's the best deal either of you are ever going to get.
Shadow: I like this deal but you make it seem as if walking into Haven will be as easy as it seems
Cinder: oh but it will be Headmaster Lionheart is loyal to Salem now you know Raven wasn't the first to turn her back against Ozpin.
Shadow: so if we help you Salem will leave us alone forever?
Cinder: exactly you're a very smart one.
Shadow: fine we will help you when do we begin this plan?
Watts: 2 days from now
Shadow: yes we will help you
Cinder: good you're very smart one now let us make our way to Haven to begin our plan.
Shadow: yes let's go but before we go we must discuss the greatest threat to us.
Cinder: and that would be?
Shadow: (Y/n) of course
Cinder clench your fist and became visibly upset at the mention of that name
Shadow: I've heard Legends of his power from Raven but if we combine our powers and our strengths together we could stand a chance against him
Cinder: I think I know what you're saying we lead him into an ambush.
Shadow: exactly you inform Professor Lionheart to have him and his friends meet us at the Academy and we'll Ambush them combine our powers and destroy all of them once and for all in one Fell Swoop.
Watts: that's actually rather ingenious if I do say so myself.
Cinder: yes it will work once (Y/n) is out of the way will be able to destroy the rest of them at our leisure.
Shadow: exactly what I was thinking.
Watts: but don't forget our main objective we walk in take the Relic with little to no resistance but now the snoo battle will complicate things but I believe we do have the might to destroy anything that gets in our way.
Cinder: our attack will now happen on the full moon Leo will invite (Y/n) and the others to the academy at the same time Adam and Hazel bring the White Fang we attack we win and the White Fang will destroy Haven Academy and any evidence if our existence will be destroyed along with the school now that that's out of the way let's get moving ladies and gentlemen Arthur you go back to Salem and tell her our plan is in effect now.
Watts: as you wish I will do as I am commanded.
Watts then leaves for the land of Darkness to inform her mistress about the upcoming battle while at the same time Cinder and the rest of them make their way to Haven Academy to begin the battle.

Nora: hey but you made up for it mr. Muscles you should have seen this guy take a giant Grim head on
Jaune: I couldn't have done it without (Y/n) and Ruby wearing it down
Ruby: uh me? Did you see Ren during that fight he was out of control
Ren: I'm sorry I may have lost my temper momentarily

Everyone starts laughing again Weiss begins to tell the story of what happened to her and her Jedi friend at the party after a long discussion and an arm wrestling match between Nora and Yang everyone starts to have some nice tea while Jaune is in the kitchen cleaning up suddenly the sound of a loud engine can be heard everyone makes their way outside to find the source of the sound they they look and find a strange ship which Weiss instantly recognizes.
Weiss: hey what's a gauntlet doing here?
Ruby: Weiss how do you know that ship?
Before anyone to answer the ship lands and the loading ramp opens to reveal (Y/n) inside he makes his way down the loading ramp and begins to start greeting everyone

Ren: hey (Y/n) I'm glad to see you once again
Nora: HEY (Y/N) HOW ARE YOU I MISSED YOU THAT IS ONE AWESOME SHIP DID YOU BUILD IT YOURSELF IT'S SO WICKED
(Y/n): it's great to see you guys again as well and answer your question Nora I didn't design it myself I got the designs from a private Transport company from Mandalore Qrow I need to talk to you in private
Qrow: sure kid no problem.
With that said both Qrow and
(Y/n) make their way towards Qrow's room once there they begin to discuss why (Y/n) has returned Qrow sits his bed but
(Y/n) remains standing.
Qrow: so (Y/n) where do you want to talk about?
(Y/n): I've gotten Vital Information about an attack that's going to happen on the full moon Haven Academy will be under attack by the White Fang I've gotten the information from both a secret informant from within and from Darth Celleus listen I can't explain everything but I need you to make sure that you don't tell the others I need you to pretend like you don't know anyting all I need you to do is to inform the authorities to be ready by the full moon at sunset.
Qrow: should I tell Lionheart?
(Y/n): no you can't tell him especially not him he's a traitor he's betrayed us he sold us out to Salem I've gotten confirmation on that I'll take care of everything they're planning an ambush they're going to invite us the Haven Academy on the full moon and Ambush us but I've already got a plan set up and with my man Within I've got everything on lockdown our Victory is assured.
Qrow: I can't believe it I can't believe Leo would do something like this.
(Y/n): Leonardo Lionheart is a coward don't worry I will take care of him personally we will bring these people to Justice and if I need to I will end them all it is the will of the force.
Qrow: I'm not sure about this Force thing but I trust you and I trust your judgement if ozpin trust you then I'm behind you all the way now is there anything else you'd like to talk about?
(Y/n): yes I've made your sister my new & Final Apprentice.
With Shock and surprise evidnt on Qrow's face he rises to his full height and begins to start pacing.
Qrow: what do you mean you made her your Apprentice?
(Y/n): Raven is strong in the force and I couldn't let her potential go to waste I saw something special in her just as many Masters have before I saw within her something that every Master wishes to find raw Untamed potential and beyond that something truly special.
Qrow sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.
Qrow: are you sure we can trust her?
(Y/n): if you're worried about her the rest assured she has grown Beyond her Petty need of revenge against you she has done a lot of growing up in these last few months since her training began she no longer seeks Vengeance against you she actually wishes to redeem herself she wishes to make amends with you and her daughter.
Qrow: how do you know she's not lying just to gain power?
(Y/n): I know because the force offers power for power's sake I know because I have seen her change the force will change you in many ways if you seek out the light it will help make you a better person in most cases but if you seek out the darkness that is all you will ever see and I know without a doubt Raven branwen has changed she has become more powerful than she ever was before and now all she seeks is knowledge and Redemption.
Qrow: well I guess I trust you I'll make sure to inform Haven Police about the attack.
(Y/n): good see that you do I must prep for the battle.
With that said and done both of them leave the room Qrow goes to inform the Haven Police while
(Y/n) go to the living room and begins to meditate on what to do next
Blake POV.
Currently Blake is standing on the balcony of her family home looking out to the night Sky until she runs her fingers on the banister and finds a note taped to the side she opens up the note to find it's from Ilia.
Note: B things going too far not sure what to do find a quiet spot I'll find you come alone please -I
Blake quietly slipped the note into her pocket before Sun could see it
Sun: are we going recruiting or not we got the entire nocturnal section to hit up.
Both Blake and Sun look at each other until eventually Sun asks.
Sun: You ok?
Blake: yeah I'll meet you there I need to take care of something first.
Blake then leaves Sun alone and makes your way towards the town below unaware of the Sith Lord watching her.
Darth Celleus POV.
Right now Darth Celleus and Sun are watching Blake from the rooftops make her way towards an Alleyway in the town.
Sun: you think she knows what she's doing?
Darth Celleus: probably not but all we have to do is make sure this isn't a Trap which I'm pretty sure it is shh I see something.
Blake POV.
Blake: Ilia?
Ilia: I'm here
Blake instantly pulls out her weapon and begins to start looking for Ilia until finally Ilia finally reveals herself.
Blake: Ilia I know you're scared of but you don't have to be my family and I we could keep you safe.
Ilia raises her left hand and closes her eyes
Ilia: I'm sorry
Blake: you can make it up to me by helping to stop corsac and fennec
Ilia: no...............I'm sorry
Ilia then closes for fist out of nowhere a bat faunus drops down and lands on Blake's back causing Blake to drop her weapon Blake begins to gasp for air the bat faunus let's go with Blake and she begins to rise to her feet Blake continues to gasp for air but before she can speak another faunus appears and wraps her up in a web causing Blake to fall to her knees
Tarifa: I got her
Yuma: well done sister tarifa and to you Ilia
The man named Yuma tosses Ilia her weapon.
Blake: Ilia! What are you doing?.
Ilia: I tried to warn you Blake I'm sorry
Blake: don't tell me you're sorry
Ilia: but I am I am sorry it has to be this way but you and your family are holding the faunus back.
Blake: because we're trying to protect people? In what world do you live in we're attacking the innocent is the right thing to do?
Ilia: the same one as you! There's no such thing as innocent there's no right thing to do only what's best for us there's the humans that still hate the faunus and there's the others who stand by and let the hate happen but you know what snaps out hate?
Ilia points the tip of a sword at Blake's neck.
Ilia: Fear I don't like hurting people but I'll tell you this it's gotten us results.
Blake: yeah look where it's gotten you.
Ilia: we all have to make sacrifices for the greater good no matter how much it hurts.
Blake: and you think killing me is really for the greater good?
Ilia: no but getting rid of your family is.
Blake: looks up in fear
Blake: you wouldn't you can't I won't let you
Ilia: I know that's why you're being sent to Mistral to Adam
Blake: Ilia please you don't have to do this this isn't you
Ilia: yes it is I guess back then you were just too busy falling for Adam to notice I was always jealous of the way you looked at him I wanted you to look at me that way but we can't always get what we want Yuma with me you two get her to the docks.
Ilia begins to walk away with Yuma.
Tarifa: let's go traitor

Darth celleus: hello Miss Belladonna it's good to see you again.
Kali: it's great to see you too Celleus thanks for the assist.
Darth Celleus: anytime anytime now Miss Bella Donna I believe your daughter and your husband needs help commando droids you make your way to mister belladonna's location I've marked it on your map defeat the two brothers and have a little fun while you do it
Commando droids: Rodger Rodger
The commando droids do as they are told and begin to make their way towards Ghira & Sun's position Darth Celleus looks to Kali and smiles.
Darth Celleus: now Excuse Me Miss Belladonna but I believe your daughter is in need of aid TTFN tata for now.
With that said the Sith Lord activates his semblance and flies down the hall towards Blake's position the moment he makes it to her position he smashes through the door to see the whole room on fire pieces of ceiling falling down and Blake holding down Ilia trying to reason with her Ilia breaks down crying when suddenly out of nowhere one of the two brothers ends up flying through the wall seemingly unconscious Ghira steps through the hole and out of nowhere fennec stabs him in the back.
Blake: DAD!!!
Ilia throws Blake off her Blake smashes her back in your chair and falls down to the floor dazed but not unconscious Ghira begins to start fighting the two brothers single-handedly one of the brothers accidentally firing a fireball at the other brother sun and Ilia begin to start fighting each other and Darth Celleus begins to use the force to command the flames the fires begin to put themselves out but the damage to the structure is too great suddenly a pillar falls and almost crushes Ilia but Darth Celleus catches the piece of falling debris with the force before it could fall on top of Ilia and Crush her.
Darth Celleus: Go run!
Ilia does if she is told and gets out from underneath the Peace of falling debris Darth Celleus releases the piece of falling debris and allows it to fall down onto the floor Fennec charges at the Sith Lord with his weapon Held High but Darth Celleus just sidesteps his attack pulls out his lightsaber ignites it's blade and cuts Fennec in half instantly killing him Fennec's body falls to the ground dead suddenly Kali bust through the door and hugs her husband and daughter Darth Celleus smiles and begins to use his force abilities to put out the fires once the fire was out Carsac woke up and started to Proclaim how they have ruined everything he then runs at Blake before he can attack Ilia uses her weapon to electrocute the brother and knock him out.
Darth Celleus: well that was "SHOCKING"
Everyone: UGH!!!
(TIME SKIP outside)
Blake steps forward and points to the smoking remains of the part of her house that burned.
Blake: humans didn't do this we did this faunus we did this to ourselves we are just as capable of hate and violence as humans but I don't think any of us would jump at the chance to point that out so why are we letting Adam do it for us by doing nothing and staying silent we let others speak and act in our place and if we're not proud of the choices they make then we have no one to blame but ourselves this is the message Adam Taurus will bring to the world if no one stops him but we can stop him you have to understand that all of you are looking for simple answers to a very complicated problem and I can't give that to you I don't know how to make hate go away I don't but I know that this kind of violence is not the solution I understand that to ask to leave your homes and protect Haven Academy is asking you to put your lives at risk but that's what's at stake so I'm going and I'll stand by myself if I have to.
Ilia: I'll stand with you if if you'd have me
Ilya walks forward and stands with Blake
Then suddenly a whole Army began to rise up to stand with Blake at Haven Academy and the crowd roared with support for Blake
Sun: you stabbed me
Sun then pinched Ilia's shoulder
Ilia: OW!
Sun: there now we're even
Ghira: the attack on Haven academy starts in 2 days we're going to need Shields, weapons, training
Kali: we're also going to need transportation
Darth Celleus: I think I can help with that what if I told you I have an entire Squadron of ships ready to pick us up and I what if I told you I had an entire Armory full of weapons waiting to be used
Blake: you really do come in handy sometimes don't you?
Darth Celleus: Tell Me Something I Don't Know.
Darth Celleus pulls out his communication device and begins to call for ships to come pick up their new Army and take him to the destiny while the others are talking about what to do next.
(A/n): (WORD COUNT 4051)
