Disclaimer:I do not own RWBY I do this for fun.

I'll be honest this chapter has been sitting completed for almost three months, I just lost any and all motivation for writing and only recently has it sparked up again. I'm sorry it's so short and probably isn't that good, I hope you all enjoy it.

Floating to the top of Beacon Tower, Pyrrha glanced uneasily at the frozen dragon like Grimm, it's very presence unnerving her greatly.

Floating over the towers floor, she set her platform down gently and went to walk off, only to stumble as pain shot up from her ankle. Seeing she wasn't going to be walking very far any time soon she improvised, throwing her left hand out she called a metal pole from one of the many piles of rubble around her.

It flew towards her, reshaping itself into a walking stick and came to rest in her hand with an audible thud. She was surprised to feel almost no weight from it, despite being made from high quality steel. 'Yet another thing my semblance can do now, I'm actually kind of worried about what this could mean.' Pyrrha thought as she used the walking stick to keep herself up, slowly limping off the platform.

Looking around she decided to find her shield first, it would come in handy, and spread her semblance out trying to locate it. Her familiarity with Akoúo made it easy to locate, wedged in a pile of rubble near the dragon. Smirking to herself she held her right hand out and called her shield to her, the answer was instantaneous and the shield slipped onto her right arm with little trouble.

"Now where is Crescent Rose."

Muttering to herself she stretched her semblance out again and tried to locate the scythe, which was proving quite hard considering the thing was as tall as she was. When no responses came back, she stretched her senses even further, a feeling of despair starting to form in her gut.

"No no no no. It has to be here, it has to be, Qrow said he wasn't able to come back for it when he visited me."

Alas Crescent Rose was nowhere to be found and it caused Pyrrha to finally snap, a scream of despair and rage erupting from her.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

All around her metal went flying in every direction, her semblance sending them flying as if shot by a cannon, leaving only Pyrrha, the Dragon Grimm, her Shield and walking stick on the tower roof. An echoing bang, followed by an explosion sounded off in the distance as she fell to her knees, her walking stick flopping on the ground with a thump.

Sobbing she wrapped her arms around her stomach and tried to curl into herself. 'Why, why did she take Ruby, it should have been me, I'm the one who got in her way. Ruby never did anything to warrant the torture she's likely going through. Now even the last piece of what made Ruby, the adorable little ball of sunshine she was, is gone.' The guilt of having to watch one of her close friends taken, right after her brush with death had ate at her constantly in the hospital.

Tears still rolling down her face she laid there, her mind drowing in guilt. 'I guess this is it, I really am a failure, I killed an innocent girl, failed to stop Cinder, and had to watch as she took Ruby.' A stray flicker of glowing gold eyes appeared in her thoughts. 'No, it won't end like this, that bitch needs to pay, for all the lives she snuffed out. If I can't rescue Ruby I'll damn well avenge her, and nothing, NOTHING will stand in my way.'

As she grew angrier the tears running down her cheeks dried up and she pushed herself up, her body aching. Standing at her full height she made a vow, she would kill Cinder, if it was the last thing she did.

With a flick of her hand, her walking stick flew to her and into her hand. It would serve as her new weapon if she couldn't get Crescent Rose, and as if hearing her thoughts the metal pole pulsed and rippled, the metal reshaping itself into the Javelin form of Milo, only bigger, and she found herself fascinated at her semblances changes.

What she did not see however, was the drop of black blood drip from her nose, splashing on the ground as she walked away to the edge of the tower, completely missing the signs something was wrong with her body. Without a thought she jumped off, landing onto the ground as her aura took the impact without care.

'Forever Fall forest will let me get out of Vale without being seen, after that I'll make my way to Minstral, Mothers vacation home is there and it should be fully stocked. I'll just leave a note their telling her I needed the food for a training trip.'

Pyrrha headless of the dangers that would await her on this trip, and the familiar shouting in the distance, walked to the very cliff that had been used for the initiation test. "Lets see, the platforms launching mechinisim should still be working, even with out power maybe I can use my semblance to launch me into the forest." Closing her eyes Pyrrha felt around with her semblance looking for a working platform.

"There!"

Her eyes snapped open and she walked to the center-most platform, while it hadn't been maintained well it would work, with a little help of course. As she stepped onto the center of the platform she mentally nudged the launching mechanism and was sent flying into Forever Fall, ready to begin the long journey to Minstral.

Nora groaned as she came to and the world stopped spinning, her head was pounding and there was blood in her left eye and she couldn't see out of it, turning her head to the passenger hold she hissed in pain, her neck feeling like a beowolf had been tap-dancing on it. What she saw was not good, Jaune was out cold on the floor, blood running from what she assumed was a broken nose.

Ren was little better, he was awake but from the looks of things the harness was jammed and he couldn't move, he was effectively pinned to the seat. Turning her head back around, the pain getting worse, she bit back a gasp, as less then four inches in front of her was a piece of rebar, having smashed through the cockpit window. She silently thanked her luck.

Letting out a pained groan Nora tried to undo the buckle that had saved her life, what ever had hit the bullhead had blew out the good engine, the resulting aftermath was a blur.

"What the, Jaune, Ren, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice rang out from the door on Jaunes side, causing Nora to try and crane her head towards the hold.

"Blake, is that you?"

Noras voice coming from the cockpit made Blake climb in, carefully stepping over Jaune, and peek her head into the cockpit, where Nora was trapped.

Blake was shocked at state Nora was in when she saw her, One of Noras eyes was completely red, tears of blood were slowly dripping down her face, said tears mingled with the blood oozing from the gash on her cheek. Blake flinched when she looked towards the canopy and saw the piece of rebar literally inches away from impaling Nora.

"I think I'm stuck Blake the buckle won't unlatch."

"Hold on just a second Nora, and I'll get you out of this."

Pulling Gambol Shroud from its small holster on her leg, Blake extended the blade partially and slipped it into Noras seat-belt, careful to keep the edge against the buckle she cut through each strap like they were tissue paper.

As she pulled Nora out of the seat carefully another bullhead's engine sounds rang in her ears and she looked out the shattered cockpit to see a Schnee Bullhead landing near them. Maybe luck was on her side for once.

She doubted it though.

Ruby was not having a good day, first she had a collar stuck onto her, that sent a burning feeling through her every-time she tried to take it off. Next the creepy lady, who insisted she call her mistress, and now she was being told to listen to Cinder the person who kidnapped her in the first place.

Cinder hummed as she watched her little rose struggle with the collar, she'd wait for it to punish her before announcing her presence. Truly the child was a gem in the rough, she was taking to the corruption with no noticeable changes, hopefully Emerald and Mercury wouldn't disappoint her again when their transformations were complete.

"GAH!"

There it was, Cinder had an amused smirk as Ruby rolled around on the ground thrashing as the Collar sent a scalding feeling through her body, her attempt to use her semblance backfiring on her.

"My, My little rose, you really don't listen to your betters do you."

Ruby, head snapped up as she heard Cinder's voice, and her thrashing abruptly stopped as the collar forced to still, and she glared up at the woman who was the mastermind behind her friend Penny's death.

"You, why did you take me, why couldn't you just kill me, do you and that evil lady get off on torturing people?"

Cinder shook her head at her little roses naivety, she really didn't understand she had been chosen, just as she had, she should be rejoicing.

"Torture little rose, whatever do you mean? This isn't torture, this is training, after all what use can you be to us if you still hold onto your childish dreams of fairy-tale endings."

Cinder's heels clicked against the floor as she walked over to Ruby with her hands ignited with a dark orange flame, the girl, whose eyes were wide with fright, hastily pushed herself back further and further until she hit a wall.

Looming over the shivering form of the young Reaper gave Cinder an immense amount of satisfaction. The girl had been a thorn in her side at every turn, and while she was becoming fond of her she needed to be taught a lesson first.

"After all I have all the time in the world to bring you to heel now, try not to disappoint me like my last apprentices."

Ruby looked up in horror as Cinders form rippled, large bat-like wings, curving horns and a tail sprouting from her body.

"Now lets begin little one we have many many things to cover before your transformation is ready."

Afterword: I can't promise speedy updates but I won't abandon this story. I do have a couple other oneshots I'm working on also.
