Hey, guys. So...yep. Another Volume, for you guys to read and enjoy. I had LOTS of ideas, to put into this very first chapter. And needless to say, it looks great. Cannot wait to read your reviews.

In this volume, the tone will shift back and forth, as it progresses. Emotions will run high. Hearts will be broken. Characters fighting their demons. Characters dying. Etc.

There will be new characters. Returning characters, long thought to have been dead. New weapons. There will be armor. And also...there could be a couple new romances, out there. But, I won't tell who.

So, without further ado...

RWBY Volume 6 Devastation: Chapter 1

Remnant Squad

ROOM

A young man, wearing a sweater and jeans, sits and reads from his clipboard, and humming, as he hears footsteps. As they get louder, they stop. Followed by a knock on his door.

"Come in."

The door to the room opens, and the girl with the silver eyes, donning her white cape, entering. After closing the door, she slowly walks to a couch and sits on it, while staring at the ground.

"Ready for another session?" The man said.

Ruby Rose lifts her head up, looking at the man, and nods.

"Let's just get it over with." She said.

The man nods, gets up, takes out his Scroll, and places it, on his desk, the screen facing Ruby. He then presses record, and looks at the screen.

"This is Dr. Lucas Solaris. Once again...recording a new session, with Miss Ruby Rose. I believe this is session...120."

Lucas then walks to a nearby chair, and sits on it.

"Miss Rose. How are you feeling, today?"

Ruby shrugs. "I guess, I'm good. Just got back, from our recent mission. Wasn't too stressful. In fact...we got it done, fast."

"Any injuries? Any...you know." Lucas asked.

"Well...Velvet did get hurt." Ruby said. "But, she'll be okay. And no. Nobody died. As the last couple dozen times, you've asked me."

"That's good." Lucas said. "Would you like to tell me, what went down, at that stronghold?"

Ruby nods. "Sure. I would." She then smiles slightly. "Boy. The banter that happened today. Ain't going away soon."

Ruby's smile slightly fades, as faint booms are heard.

EARLIER - FOREST

As explosions occur, in a forest, a jeep driven by the cat Faunus, Blake Belladonna, rolls down the area. The rabbit Faunus, Velvet Scarlatina, donning a brown hood, with holes to poke out her ears, aims and fires her bow and arrows, at several Dark Seekers, who are using jet packs to fly. Blake notices an enemy heading her way. She opens her door, and kicks the Seeker away. Ruby flies by the jeep, sees this, and flies away.

As more Seekers approach with their own vehicle, someone lands on the roof. A Seeker turns around, only to be picked up by Pyrrha Nikos, wearing her red armor, and thrown out of the vehicle. Pyrrha then proceeds to fly up, and land on a tall platform, and knocking a few enemies down. She then grabs an approaching Seeker, and goes with him.

Ruby lands on the ground, picks up a piece of debris and attacks some Seekers. As she does this, Jaune Arc, driving Bumblebee, passes by Ruby, dragging an enemy, before throwing him at another Seeker. He then witnesses Ruby piercing a tank with a giant ice spike, causing it to flip over. The flying tank is then grabbed by the blonde brawler, Yang Xiao Long. Eyes red and her hair glowing, Yang throws the tank away, before attacking some Seekers, as the remaining members of Remnant Squad regroup, and advance.

Ruby then sees a large building and flies towards it, avoiding any firepower towards her. As she is near the building, she is suddenly bounced away, by some invisible barrier.

"Shit!" She yells.

"Ruby." Jaune said, taking out a Seeker. "Language. Remember?"

"Right. Sorry" Ruby said, before she lands and makes a wall of ice, to protect herself, from the Seekers appraoching her. She then goes to her earpiece.

"Penny. Give me something."

"Give me one minute, Ruby." Penny Polendina said, from Ruby's earpiece. "The stronghold appears to be surrounded by some sort of shield. This is an unexpected delay, in your mission. We weren't aware of Torchwick gaining shield tech, at all."

Nearby, Pyrrha lands on a Seeker, before fighting a group of them.

"We'll have to worry about that later, Penny." Pyrrha said, knocking an enemy down. "The sooner, we take down that shield, the better."

Pyrrha then uses her Polarity to send a rifle to an enemy's head, knocking him out.

"But, I prefer we get this done by evening. Ruby. The abandoned village, is where the other Seekers are stationed at."

"Got it, Pyrrha." Ruby said, before she flies towards a small village. "By the way...Jaune. Why are you so concerned about my language?"

Jaune sighs, as he rides Bumblebee down a road. "Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up, then."

Jaune then sees a jeep approaching, and a few Dark Seekers running besides it. Jaune stands up, and flips forwards. In the process, he flips Bumblebee and throws it, at the jeep, wrecking both.

"It slipped out, by accident, Ruby."

Jaune's expression goes to worry, when she sees Yang stopping by the wrecked jeep and sees her bike. She then turns to Jaune, with a mad look.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" She yells.

Jaune shrugs. "Sorry?'

Yang angrily groans, and sees several Seekers approaching, before turning back to Jaune. "You're fixing her, when we get back."

Yang then charges at the Seekers, as Jaune sighs and strikes an enemy from behind, with his shield.

Blake run towards a group of Seekers, who's guarding one, that's firing an artillery guy. Blake throws a grenade at them. It explodes, taking out half of the group, before Blake goes on to finish the rest off.

"You know, how much she loves that bike, Jaune." She said, turning Gambol Shroud to gun form, and shooting at the remaining Seeker. "She'll be expecting you to get it done fast."

Velvet barely avoids a blast, and hides behind a tree. Waiting a few seconds, she takes out a red arrow, and aims at a bunker. Firing it through the window, the bunker explodes.

"Enough with the banter, you guys." She said, striking an attacking Seeker with her bow. "We have a mission. Let's get it done."

At the village, Ruby freezes Dark Seekers, while avoiding enemy fire.

"Ruby." Penny said. "Nearby Shion Village is about to be attacked by the Dark Seekers, that left this location, an hour ago."

"Well, it's a good thing, we came prepared for that." Ruby said. She then takes out her Scroll, and types it. "Sun. You guys better get ready. They're coming."

"Roger that."

SHION VILLAGE

The man with the monkey tail, Sun Wukong, is lying an a haystack, putting his Scroll up. He then proceeds to stand up.

"Alright, guys." He said. "Five minutes, before they get here."

Sun then leaps off the haystack, and is caught by the arms of his girlfriend, Neon Katt, who sighs.

"Why do you even insist, I do that?" She asked.

"Because, you love me." Sun said.

Neon smiles. "I sure do."

"Guys."

Sun and Neon turn and they see Neptune Vasilias, a serious expression in his face. "Enough chit-chat."

Neptune then takes out his trident. Neon puts Sun down, and she then picks up a blue staff, while Sun gets his out.

"This is the only entrance to the village." Neptune said. "We have to keep them away from it."

"No sweat." Sun said, before turning to Neon. "Also...Night Bright?"

Neon giggles. "What? You don't like the name?"

"No. I do. But...why Night Bright?"

Neon then presses a button, and her staff glows blue. Neptune growls, before a hand is placed on his shoulder. He turns and sees Lie Ren, who is holding StormFlower.

"Let it go." He said. "We are well prepeared. Right, Nora?"

"Definetely." Nora Valkyrie said, smiling while holding Magnhild. "Let's break their legs."

"See?" Ren said. "Besides, a little banter isn't going to hurt anyone."

Neptune stares before he grunts. Sun the motions his arm, and several soldiers emerge from hiding spots and stand in front, aiming their weapons.

FOREST

Velvet quickly runs, and hides behind another trees, while also spotting another bunker. Slowly breathing, she takes out an arrow, and waits till there's no more firing. Velvet then aims her arrow. She releases it and hides back. After a few seconds, there's no explosion. Velvet, confused, takes out another arrow and aims, only to be punched to the ground.

Velvet quickly gets up and sees a man, bearing a mustache. He is also holding Velvet's fired arrow, and waves it around.

"Explosive arrows." He said. "I believe, you designed them, yourself?"

Velvet is silent, only angrily staring at him.

"Silence, huh? Well then. Before we fight... allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm Watts."

"I don't care." Velvet said, before converting her bow, into a bo staff.

Watts chuckles. "Very well."

Velvet charges and swings at Watts, who easily dodges every attack, with his hands behind his back. Velvet can also tell, that he's smiling, behind that mustache.

"Reminds me of someone." She thought.

Velvet then takes out a blue arrow, and strikes it to the ground. Electricity surges towards Watts, who groans in pain, falling to the ground. Velvet then slowly walks to Watts, and crouches next to him. As she attempts to retrieve her arrow, she is grabbed by the throat, by Watts, who opens his eyes. Watts then stands up, lifting Velvet in the air.

"Young lady." He said. "I would've thought, you knew what my last name meant."

Watts then closes his free hand, and electricity surrounds his fist. "Watts. As in electricity."

Watts then proceeds to punch Velvet in the gut, making her grunt in pain. Watts hits her again, and then finishes with a punch to the face, sending her flying and crashing into a tree. Watts the walk towards Velvet, who attempts to stand up, but instead grasps her abdomen. All she can do, is lift her head and see her adversary, who proceeds to kick her, into unconsciousness.

"Hm." Watts said. "That was easy. Too easy."

Watts then proceeds to run the opposite direction, avoiding bullets from Blake's weapon. Blake sees Velvet, and crouches next to her.

"Guys. Velvet's hurt. We need to get her back on the ship."

The sounds of guns firing from the nearby bunker, is heard.

"Can someone take care of that bunker?" Blake asked

"On it."

Blake then sees Yang, who charges inside the bunker. Thuds and firing are heard, for a few seconds before there is silence. Yang exits the bunker, cracking her knuckles.

"Thanks you." Blake said.

In another part of the forest, Jaune blocks an attack, with his shield and strikes with his sword.

"Ruby. We really need to get inside."

ABANDONED VILLAGE

"Still searching, for a way in, Jaune." Ruby said, flying.

Ruby keeps on freezing Seekers, while also flying around the village.

"Ruby." Penny said. "The power source, for that shield, is located about 2 miles, near the center of the village. It's heavily armored. You got any bombs?"

Ruby turns and smiles. "I've got something better."

Ruby flies through a truck, and is holding a rocket launcher. Flying fast, she stops and sees a giant device, with thick wire attached to it, in the street.

"This it, Penny?"

"Positive." Penny answered. "Blow it."

Ruby aims the rocket launcher and fires. The rocket impacts and the device explodes, sending sparks and fire everywhere. Ruby turns around and sees that the shield dissipates.

"The shield's down, guys. We're moving in."

FOREST

Jaune picks up his shield, and hangs his sword over his shoulder. He turns and sees Pyrrha landing nearby. He runs to her, just as she takes out a Seeker.

"Okay." Jaune said. "That shield delayed us by only a few minutes. I don't think, there should be anymore obstacles, on the way. Hopefully."

"Velvet's hit pretty bad, guys." Blake said. "She's not going to be able to fight anymore, today."

"I can fly Velvet to the ship." Pyrrha said. "Jaune. You and the others, go get the intel, from the stronghold, and blow the place to pieces, afterwords."

Jaune and Pyrrha then sees a tank approaching them, along with some Seekers. Pyrrha smiles, raises her hand, and fire expels from it.

"Ready?"

Jaune sighs and raises his shield. "Just...don't leave any marks."

Pyrrha smiles. "No promises."

Pyrrha then punches Jaune's shield hard, and a wave of fire blasts towards the tank, and it blows up, taking the Dark Seekers with it.

"Better hurry." Pyrrha said, before flying away.

"By the way, Jaune." Blake said. "Did you really tell Ruby, our leader, to watch her language?"

Jaune sighs. "That's not going away, anytime soon."

"Nope." Ruby said. "Sure ain't."

Pyrrha lands near Blake and Velvet.

"How bad?" She asked.

"Looks like a couple broken ribs. But, we won't know more, until Dr. Salfire checks her injuries, himself." Blake answered.

"Oh, come on, Blake." Pyrrha said, carefully lifting Velvet. "He has a first name."

"I know." Blake said. "It's just...it reminds me, of him."

"Understandable." Pyrrha said. "But, don't forget. Adam Taurus is dead. And our Adam is the total opposite of him."

Pyrrha then flies away with Velvet. Blake sighs, and sees Yang sitting on a flat rock, and shaking. She walk towards her wife, who is trying to slow her breathing.

"Yang?"

Yang quickly turns, her eyes still red. "What?"

"Do you...need me to...you know?" Blake asked.

Yang nods. "Please."

Blake smiles and raises her hand. Yang follows suit, and places her hand flat against the other. Blake the lowers Yang's hand, and taps a spot on Yang's forearm, wrist and hand. Blake then smiles and proceeds to give a quick kiss to Yang's forehead. Yang's breathing slows down, and her eyes slowly fade back to lilac, and her hair loses its glow. Finally calm, Yang smiles.

"Thanks."

Blake nods. "Anytime."

Yang stands up, and stretches. "Now, then...you wouldn't mind, helping me get Bumblebee, out of a wrecked jeep?"

Blake sighs. "What did Jaune do?"

SHION VILLAGE

Dark Seekers fire their weapons at the entrace to Shion Village, while the soldiers fire back. Sun notices a group of Ursas charging towards them.

"Grimm!" He yells.

A couple Dark Seekers attacks some soldiers, but Neon and Sun strike them with their staffs. Neptune, his weapon in gun form, fires lasers at several enemies. Nora is striking at the approaching Grimm with Magnhild, while Ren fires at the creatures.

A few Seekers manage to grab Neptune, and he struggles, as they drag him away. Sun turns and sees this, and looks at Neon.

"Go help him."

Neon nods, and run to the group, striking the Seekers with her staff, and a soldier shoots at them. Neon offers her hand to Neptune, who takes it, and stands up. He then picks up a rifle, and advances.

"You're welcome." Neon said, annoyed.

Neptune moves forward, firing at Grimm and Dark Seekers. He sees another group of Ursas, heading his way. Dropping the empty rifle, he picks up a pistol and a sub-machine gun. Neptune then jumps and lands in the center of the Grimm group, and fires his weapons.

"Neptune!" Sun yells.

Neptune ignores the yell, and keeps on firing his weapons at the Grimm, eliminating them, one-by-one. And when he runs out of bullets, he takes out his trident and slashes at the remaining Grimm, until there are no more. Looking around to see the Grimm disintegrating, Neptune walks back to the group. Seeing a couple dead soldiers, he walks to Ren, and stops.

"Not going to hurt anyone, huh?" Neptune asked, with anger in his voice.

Nora grabs Neptune's shoulder, and makes him turn around.

"He was trying to lighten the mood." She said.

"Lighten the mood?" Neptune angrily asked.

"Hey!"

Neptune, Nora, and Ren turn to see Sun approaching them.

"Out part is done." Sun said. "We head back to the ship. Now."

Neptune is the first to walk, but is grabbed by Sun.

"What you did, just now. That was stupid of you, Neptune."

"I handled it, well." Neptune said.

"Or...if you didn't...you would've been killed." Sun said. "If you ever do that again..."

Neptune is surprised, at what Sun couldn't finish saying. "Are you threatening me?"

Sun sighs. "No. Just warning you, man."

Neptune scoffs. "Whatever."

He then continues to walk, while Sun puts his staff away.

"Dammit." He says to himself.

STRONGHOLD - ROOF

Ruby carries Jaune to the roof of the stronghold, where Blake and Yang are at. When Ruby releases Jaune, she lowers herself down.

"Pyrrha said that she will remain at the ship." Jaune said. "She's going to do her best to treat Velvet's injuries."

"Which means, it's up to us, to finish this." Ruby said. "Let's hope, our friend inside, is ready."

STRONGHOLD - HALLWAY

A Seeker is leaning on a wall, reading a book, as a couple Seekers pass by. The person lowers her book, and the green-haired girl, Emerald Sustrai, walks towards the end of the hallway.

"Emerald." Ruby said, through her earpiece. "We're on the roof. You almost ready?"

"Just about there." Emerald said, stopping by an elevator, and pressing a button. "3...2...1..."

A boom is heard nearby, and an alarm goes off. Emerald smiles, as the elevator doors open. Entering, she presses a button, and the doors close.

"I'm in the elevator." Emerald said, taking off the Seeker armor. "Meet you, at the top floor."

"Great." Yang said. "Good job, Em."

After Emerald takes of the last of the armor, she takes out her Scroll, and looks at a message.

How about tonight? I'm free.

Emerald sighs before typing.

Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

Thud.

Emerald puts her Scroll away and looks up, backing away, as a Dark Seeker crashes through the roof of the elevator, and turns to her. The Seeker grabs Emerald, by her neck. She struggles to free herself, before taking one of her sickles out, and aims the gun part, firing at the Seeker's head. He falls to the ground. Emerald takes a couple seconds to grasp her neck, before another Seeker crashes through the side of the elevator. The engage in a fight, with Emerald dodging punches, while landing a few, of her own. The Seeker manages to grab her, from behind, his arm around her neck. Emerald steps hard, on the enemies foot, freeing herself, and striking with her sickle blade.

When the other Seeker falls, Emerald puts her weapon away, and hears the elevator ding. The doors open, and she sees Ruby, Juane, Blake, and Yang readying their weapons. She smiles.

"Hey, guys."

Emerald then walks past the group, who stand still, only to turn around. Emerald turns to the group.

"Come on. Let's go." She said.

Yang turns to see the dead Seekers. Blake notices her staring at the bodies.

"Yang." She said grabbing Yang's arm.

Yang turns to Blake, and lowers her head.

"Sorry." She said.

Yang then follows Emerald. Ruby, Jaune, and Blake follow them, down a hallway.

"Everyone's pretty much occupied, downstairs." Emerald said. "The main room, will only be vacant, for a few minutes."

"That's enough time, to take any intel, we can get." Jaune said.

"Then we blow this place to hell." Yang said.

Emerald stops the group, and leans her ear on a nearby door. Taking a listen, she hears footsteps approaching. The door opens, and Emerald grabs the exiting Seeker and knocks him out, throwing him aside.

"I'll wait out here." Ruby said. "You guys search for anything, you can get."

Ruby stays outside, while the others go inside. She then takes out her sword, Crimson Rose, and quietly waits. She hears some groaning, coming from the Seekers, and walks to him. Ruby stares at the enemy for a few seconds, before she unknowingly takes out a pistol, and aims it at his head.

Ruby, realizing, what she is about to do, starts shaking.

"Do it, little Rose."

Ruby, now scared, slowly turns and sees the Grimm hybrid, Salem, staring at her, smiling.

"Go ahead." She said. "Kill him. You know, you want to."

Salem the grabs Ruby's arm, and forces her to place the barrel on the Seeker's head.

"Just pull the trigger...and he's no more."

Ruby's shaking becomes more frantic, as her finger reaches for the trigger.

"Ruby."

Ruby turns, as Salem dissapears, and Yang is looking at her, with a concerned look. Yang crouches down, and grabs's Ruby's arm, pulling it and the gun away, from the Seeker.

"Salem?"

Ruby shakily nods, as she puts her gun away.

Yang sighs. "We'll worry about it, later."

Ruby turns and sees Jaune exiting the room, with a box of files.

"Got them." He said. "Let's get the hell, outta here."

Ruby and Yang stand up. Jaune notices Ruby's scared expression.

"You okay?"

Ruby nods. "Yeah. I'm good."

Ruby sees Emerald taking out a device and presses a button.

"We've got five minutes, you guys. After that, the bombs go off." Emerald said.

"Then let's get moving, people." Ruby said. "Follow me."

AIRSHIP

Velvet groans, as she wakes up. Slowly raising her head, she sees that she's lying on a bed, and Pyrrha is nearby, washing her hands. Velvet tries to get up, but is stop by pain, causing her to fall back to the bed. Pyrrha turns around and sits next to her.

"You shouldn't sit up, Velvet." Pyrrha said. "You have two broken ribs, right now. Once we get back, Dr. Salfire will see if there's anything else."

Velvet sighs, and just stares at the ceiling. "Great."

"Might I ask. Who did this, to you?" Pyrrha asked.

Velvet turns to Pyrrha. "It was one of Torchwick's lackeys. Watts. The one with the mustache."

"...I see." Pyrrha said, a little surprised. "His Semblance can easily break through a person's Aura. In the future, I would avoid using electricity against him."

"Well...I learned that, too late." Velvet said. She is silent, before she talks again. "Blake helped me. Didn't she?"

Pyrrha nods. "Yeah. She stopped Watts from doing anymore damage. Probably saved your life."

Velvet scoffs and stares back at the ceiling.

"Velvet." Pyrrha said. "It's been 6 months. You can't keep hating her."

"And why not?"

"Because it's not healthy."

Velvet looks at Pyrrha, with a mad look. "I never forgot, what she caused, Pyrrha."

"Blake didn't kill Coco, and you know that." Pyrrha said. "Torchwick killed her."

"Oh, I know that." Velvet said. "But, if she hadn't attacked him..."

Velvet doesn't finish her answer, as she looks the opposite direction, away from Pyrrha, who sighs.

"Just get some rest." Pyrrha said, standing up. "Mission's almost done."

Pyrrha turns and sees Sun's group entering. Sun sees Velvet, lying on the bed.

"She got hurt?" He asked Pyrrha, who nods.

"If nothing's too bad, she'll be back up in a couple days." Pyrrha said. "Ruby and the others are on their way, right now."

Neon turns around. "They're here."

Pyrrha turns and sees Ruby's team entering, with Jaune placing the box onto a chair.

"Everything good?" Pyrrha asked.

Faint booms are heard.

"Oh, yeah." Yang said. "Very good."

"We got a couple minutes, before the Dark Seekers find this ship." Ruby said. "I suggest we get outta here. Neptune."

"Already on it." Neptune said, sitting in the cockpit. Blake goes to sit in the co-pilot's seat.

"Get buckled up, guys." Blake said. "We'll be leaving in a hurry."

SCHNEE FAMILY MANSION - LAB

A hand reaches for an open device, while another hand, holding tweezers, places a small gear inside the device.

"Miss Schnee?"

Weiss Schnee, sitting in a rotating chair, turns around to see her family butler, Klein Sieben, holding a cup of coffee.

"You've been up, for 16 hours, Miss Schnee." He said, before he walks and places the cup on the table, in front of Weiss. "I do believe a fresh brew will help."

Weiss places the tweezers and device down carefully, and grabs the cup, drinking the hot coffee. After she's done, she smiles.

"Thank you, Klein." She said. "This helps a lot."

Klein turns and looks at the device, Weiss is working on.

"May I ask, what is it, you're working on?"

Weiss places the cup down, and she picks up the device.

"It's basically for spying." Weiss said. "Placing a tiny microphone, inside this pocket watch. And wherever the carrier is, we'll hear them, from here."

"Hmmm." Klein said, thinking. "Might I suggest, giving it to Miss Rose?"

Weiss is confused. "Why her?"

"Well, I'm sure, Miss Rose would appreciate it, as a gift." Klein answered

"...Huh?"

"Why, Miss Schnee. Today's marks your 3-Year anniversary with her, of course." Klein answers.

Weiss' eyes go wide, and she places her hand on her face.

"Oh, crap. I forgot."

"Well, I guess you made this watch, just in the nick of time, Miss Schnee." Klein said. "I'm sure, she would appreciate it."

Weiss looks at the open watch, for a few seconds, before she reaches for the tweezers and takes out something.

"If I'm going to give this, to Ruby...I'd rather not have it bugged, then."

Kelin smiles. "Excellent, Miss Schnee. Now, then. I must attend to Miss Marcus. She has politely asked for a sandwich, and I should go and make it."

"She likes no crust, Klein." Weiss said. "In case, she hasn't told you."

"Right, then." Klein said, before slightly bowing. "I will be going, now. Oh. And might I suggest, giving the watch some color."

Weiss watches Klein exit the lab, before staring at the almost finished watch. She places it on the table, and shifts to her unseen leg, he face turning to sadness.

Weiss yells, as flashes occur in her head. Images of her lower half, buried under rubble. Weiss falls off her chair, and crawls backwards to a wall, with a scared look. Grabbing her head, she starts to rock back and forth, mumbling to herself, and tears falling from her face.

"Weiss?"

Weiss stops rocking and lifts her head, to see a hand. She sees a young man, with brown hair, bearing a worried look.

"Are you experiencing another flashback?"

Weiss takes the hand, and the man helps her up.

"Yeah." Weiss said. "Sorry about that. You know it comes and goes."

"Hey." The man said. "It's okay. PTSD can take a long time to recover from. I understand. But, you know, you have your friend, right here, to help you get back up."

"Heh." Weiss said, smiling. "Thanks, Adam."

Adam Salfire smiles and nods. "It is my pleasure, Weiss. I do what I can, to help my friends. Now, then. I do believe you have a gift to finish."

"Right." Weiss said.

She the goes back and sits down. She takes a piece and places in on top of the unfinished watch. Weiss also sees that Adam is rather too close next to her head, looking at the watch.

"Uh...can you give me some room?" Weiss asked.

"As you wish." Adam said, moving a few inches away. "I apologize. I just admire your work."

"Don't make me blush, Adam." Weiss said. "I'm with Ruby. Remember?"

"I wasn't intending to." Adam said, before walking away. "Catch you on the flip side, Schnee."

Weiss sighs, and she then proceeds to pick up some tiny screws.

AIRSHIP

Yang is sitting alone, wearing a pair of yellow headphones, listening to some classical music, her eyes closed and shaking a bit.

Blake walks around the interior, having let Neptune take over the rest of the flight. She sees everyone else doing their things. Ruby and Jaune talking, possibly about language, while Pyrrha watches, trying to supress a giggle. Ren is looking over the files, they've obtained, along with Nora, who sighs and lies down, in boredom. Sun is showing some moves with his staff, to Neon, who is attempting to copy his moves. And Velvet lies on her bed, just staring at the ceiling.

Blake sees Yang, and she walks to her. Yang opens her eyes and sees feet near her. She turns and sees Blake, who crouches next to her.

"Hey." Yang said, taking her headphones off, and shutting the music off.

"That music helping?" Blake asked.

"Yeah." Yang answered. "I am a little mad, that Jaune wrecked Bumblebee. But, he agreed to fix it. But, other than that, it's all good."

Blake nods. "Okay. Anyways...would you mind meeting me,at the gardens, tonight? We have to talk about something."

"Yeah." Yang answered. "Of course."

"Hey, guys."

Blake and Yang turn to see Ruby approaching them. When she crouches down, she takes out a small, white and red box.

"What's that?" Blake asked.

"Well...today marks the third year, that Weiss and I started dating each other." Ruby answered. "And...I kinda wanted to make this a special one. The last two were simply either dinner or a movie."

Ruby then opens the box. Inside, there was a bracelet, along with a couple charms attached to it. One of Ruby's emblem. One with Weiss. And a third, that has a white rose.

"What do you guys think?" Ruby asked. "She'll like it, right?"

"Of course, she will, Ruby." Yang said.

"I hope so." Ruby said. Her smile fades, and she stares at the ground.

"Ruby?" Blake asked.

"Sorry." Ruby said. "Its just that...ever since...the accident, I felt like we don't see each other, as often, as we used to."

"That's because you blame yourself."

Ruby lifts her head, and looks at Jaune, who was crouching in front of her.

"You think, what happened to Weiss, was your fault." He continues.

"But, it was!" Ruby said.

"Ruby." Jaune said, raising his hand, before lowering it. "You didn't blow the place up. It was that psycho, Tyrian. He knew where Weiss was going to be, and planned to hurt her. And he also ensured that you couldn't do anything about it."

Jaune puts his hand on Ruby's shoulder.

"It wasn't your fault, Ruby. And Weiss knows this too. You shouldn't let this guilty weigh on you."

Ruby nods. "Thanks, Jaune."

Ruby closes the box and puts it away.

THE CITADEL

"DAMMIT!"

A fist slams on the table, where Watts, along with the quiet man, Hazel, and the psychopath, Tyrian sit on.

"You mean to tell me...that they took down another of our strongholds!" Roman Torchwick yells, specifically at Watts.

"Well...it was one of the weakest. It was bound to fall, one day." Watts answered.

"And what did they take?" Roman asked.

"A few files." Watts answered again. "But, nothing big. I assure you, boss. It will not affect anything, at all."

Roman sighs. "Good. We do not want them, to interfere with our plans. We've all worked hard, to get to where we are. Mayhem. Death. Destruction. If we are to succeed, people, we need to ensure, that out plans don't go bad."

Roman sits on his chair, and turns his head.

"Tyrian. Head to Shion Village. Take our best men, with you. And show, the people there...the consequences of Roses' actions."

Tyrian starts giggling evilly. "I'll be sure that they do."

Roman then turns to Hazel, who has his arms cross.

"Hazel. You and Watts will head to Mistral, and speak with General Tullius, at the main stronghold, near Haven. If the information, that our informant in Atlas gave us is true, then Rose's team will strike in Mistral soon."

"As you wish." Hazel said.

Roman nods, before he stands up.

"Well, then...get going."

SCHNEE FAMLY MANSION

Ruby and the others exit the airship, and are approaching the Schnee mansion. Pyrrha and Jaune roll Velvet, in a stretcher, and take her to the Medical Room. Ruby takes out her Scroll, looking at the message, she's got.

"Doc wants to see you?" Yang asked.

"Yeah." Ruby answered. "I'll see you guys later."

PRESENT DAY

"And that's pretty much it." Ruby said, finishing. "I was about to head to the labs, when you messaged me."

"I do apologize, Miss Rose." Lucas said. "But, I had to assume, that you were seeing Salem, again. Given that every time, you are in a mission, it always happen."

"...Yeah." Ruby said. "I am trying, though. Trying to get her out of my head, as I did before. But Salem's proving more difficult to get rid of."

"In due time, Miss Rose." Lucas said. "Now, then. I won't waste any more of your time, today. Should you wish to have another session, I highly suggest you schedule it."

Ruby chuckles. "Sure thing, Doc."

Ruby stands up, and walks. Before she reaches for the doorknob, she stops.

"Be honest with me Dr. Salfire." She said, before turning to Lucas. "If this does get worse...in your own opinion...what's the best option?"

"...Well, Miss Rose." Lucas said. "It is unknown, if it'll get worse. But, if that does happen...I would suggest you step down, as leader. That way, you won't endanger your friends."

Ruby nods. "Then let's hope, it doesn't happen. See you around."

"Oh! Miss Rose."

Ruby looks at Lucas.

"Somebody's been looking for you." He said. "Said, he'd be at the dining room."

"Who?" Ruby asked.

"Well...him."

Ruby, in a couple seconds, turns to anger, before she leaves the room.

CYAN'S ROOM

Cyan Marcus, sits in her desk, eating the sandwich Klein made for her, and reading a comic book, when she hears a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said.

When Cyan turns around, she sees Sun entering.

"Hey, Sun. How'd the mission go?"

"Eh. It went good." Sun said, placing his hands on his hips. "All except for Neptune."

Cyan sighs. "Got reckless again?"

Sun nods. "He just keeps on doing it. I don't know, what to do, about it."

"Just do your best, to try to prevent another attempt." yan said.

"I will do that." Sun said, before smiling. "But, for now. Here."

Cyan stands up, and watches Sun take out something. Her smile goes wide, as she catches a small stack of comic books that Sun threw. She happily laughs, like a five year old, with a bag of candy.

"They had the whole series?" Cyan asked.

"Every issue." Sun answered. "I was surprised, too. Shion being a decent village, and all."

Cyan places the stack on the table, and raises her hand.

"You are the man."

Sun smiles, and gives Cyan a high five.

"As always." Sun said.

Ahem.

Sun turns around, and sees Neon, tapping her foot, and crossing her arms.

"You about done?" Neon asked.

"Just about." Sun answered, before turning to Cyan. "Catch you later."

Sun leaves with Neon, and they walk down the hallway.

"So." Neon said. "Feel like doing anything?"

Sun shrugs. "Not much. Unless..."

Sun then grabs Neon, and pins her the wall, and moves his face closer to hers. He then puts his hand under her chin.

"Unless, you do want to something. With me."

Neon smiles and giggles. "How much time, do we have?"

DINING ROOM

Ruby enters the dining room, and upon seeing him, her anger slightly rises, as he lifts a cup and drinks from it.

"Qrow."

Qrow Branwen downs the rest of his drink, before setting it down, next to a bottle. He then lifts his head, and looks at Ruby.

"Hey, kiddo." He said.

"Don't call me that." Ruby said, walking towards him. "What are you doing here?"

"What?" Qrow asked, raising his arms. "I can't even see my-"

"No!" Ruby said, stopping. "No, you can't." She then notices the bottle. "That bottle was meant for me and Weiss."

Qrow looks at the bottle, before sighing. "Sorry. It's been a while, since I had a decent drink."

Qrow reaches for the bottle, only for Ruby to quickly grab it away.

"I think, that's enough, for you." Ruby said. "You shouldn't even be here."

"I came here, just to drop off a few files, before heading off. And I have done so."

"Well, then." Ruby said, before moving her face closer to Qrow's. "Leave. Before I make you leave."

Qrow stares at Ruby, with his only eye, before standing up. He then walk towards the door, while Ruby angrily watches. Just before he leaves the room, Qrow stops.

"Ruby." He said. "One of these days...you're going to have to accept the fact, that-"

"I've accepted it, Qrow!" Ruby exclaims. "But, I'll never acknowledge it."

Qrow lowers his head, before leaving the room. Ruby then stares at the bottle, before she sets it on the table, sighing angrily.

"I hate you, Qrow. I fucking hate you."

"You shouldn't."

Ruby turns and sees the Summer Maiden, Terra Mason, entering the Dining Room.

"Why shouldn't I, Terra?" Ruby asked.

"Because." Terra said. "Even though, you hate him...I know, deep down, you still care for him."

"Even after, what he told me?" Ruby asked. "He lied to me, Terra. For years, he's lied to me. I just see this, as some sort of betrayal. How can I care for him, anymore?"

"In due time." Terra answered. "Eventually, you will. You've accepted this. And that's just the first part. And pretty soon, you will forgive him, for what he had done."

Ruby is silent, just staring down. She then proceeds to walk.

"Maybe."

That's all that Ruby said to Terra, before leaving the dining room, leaving Terra to sigh and leave as well.

LAB

Weiss is sleeping on her desk, her arms acting as a pillow for her head. Next to her, is a piece metal, shaped for someone's forearm. As she sleeps, she feels a tap on her shoulder, causing her to wake up.

"W...what?" She groggily asked.

Weiss raises her head, and she sees the smiling Ruby, who leans down and gives her a kiss to the forehead.

"Hey, Snowflake." Ruby said. "Getting some rest?"

Weiss yawns and smiles. "Yeah. I felt like I earned it. When did you get back?"

"About an hour ago." Ruby answered, sitting down next to Weiss. "Went to see Doc. And after that...well...Qrow."

"Qrow was here?" Weiss asked, with some anger in her voice.

"He was. But, I told him to leave."

"...Good." Weiss said. "After what he told you, Ruby...he doesn't deserve to be here."

"I know." Ruby said. "But, let's not think about it."

"Right." Weiss said. "I guess so."

Weiss then stands up and places her hands on Ruby's head, while the latter looks at her.

"Be sure to be at our room at 8 o'clock." Weiss said. "I have something special, for the both of us."

Ruby then rests her head on Weiss, and smiles. "Fair warning, Weiss. The bottle you saved, won't be needed anymore."

Weiss sighs. "Of course, it wouldn't be." She gives a kiss to Ruby's head, before she walks away.

Ruby's smile fades, as she sees the metal prosthetic, that's in place, of Weiss' right leg. Ruby then lowers her head and stares at the floor.

1 WEEK AFTER REMNANT SQUAD FORMED - BUILDING

Ruby is staring at the floor, her leg shaking, when she hears footsteps.

"Ruby."

Ruby lifts her head, and sees Weiss. Her right leg is there. No prosthetic.

"You feeling okay?" Weiss asked.

Ruby stands up."I'm good, Weiss. It's just...why am I being a part of this meeting?"

Weiss shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. Ironwood requested your presence, here. Maybe he has a good reason?"

"But, this is supposed to be a meeting, regarding Dust shipments, and what the Company can provide. And...well...I don't see, how I fit into this?

Weiss sighs. "Perhaps...for protection? You may never know, if someone will attempt to disrupt the meeting."

Ruby groans in annoyance. "Of course. Let's just go."

PARK

Yang sits in a bench, staring at the ground, with a sad look on her face. She lifts her left hand, and touches her face, feeling wetness, from the tears that was falling down her face.

"Yang."

Yang slowly turns her head, seeing Blake, holding a two cups, and bearing a worried look on her face.

Sniffling, Yang wipes the tears away, and stands up. She takes one of the cups, and drinks from it.

"Thanks." She said.

Yang and Blake then proceed to walk.

"You feeling okay?" Blake asked.

Yang nods. "Still getting passed it. But, I keep seeing her, Blake. My mom. Lying on the ground...dead."

"I understand, Yang." Blake said. "Watching someone die, in front of you. It takes a long time to go away. Hell. I still see images of Matthew getting killed."

Yang turns to Blake. "But, Matthew wasn't family. He was your friend. There's a big difference."

Blake sighs. "I guess. But...what really affected me, was what he did, before he died."

"And what did he do?" Yang asked.

"...He kissed me." Blake answered.

Yang stops walking, surprised. Blake sees this and turns to her.

"He...what?" Yang asked.

"Kissed me." Blake answered. "The very last thing, he did for me, before sacrificing himself."

"And...what would've happened, if he didn't die?" Yang asked, lowering her head. "Would you have been with him?"

Blake moves closer and rests her head on Yang's.

"Of course not." Blake answered. "I would've never reciprocated his feelings. He would've understand. And for you...I always had you in my mind."

Yang smiles slightly. "Even after I screamed at you, that day?"

"Even after you screamed at me." Blake answered again.

The couple chuckles slightly, before a boom is heard nearby, making them turn to it.

"What was that?" Yang asked.

A second boom is heard.

MINUTES EARLIER

Weiss and Ruby enter a conference room, where others are sitting around a table. Among them are James Ironwood, sporting stubble, Weiss' father, William, wearing a white suit, and Crystal Schnee, sitting in the back.

Weiss goes to sit next to the light green-haired woman, Ellie. And Ruby stands next to Crystal.

"Thank you all for coming." William said. "While I do appreciate having you all here, I don't see my Crystal and Miss Rose should."

"William." Ironwood said. "I invited them here, because you may never know, if an attack on us, may occur. Especially at times like these."

"I guess, I was correct, then." Weiss said, to Ruby before turning back. "Now, then. I believe, we need to discuss future Dust shipments from Vale to Atlas."

"Yes, we do." William answered. "And as we know, we are now at war with the Dark Seekers, and that means, their attacks can be both random and dangerous. And that could also render trouble for Dust shipments as well."

"And without Dust, no doubt that you will be vulnerable to doom, should the Dark Seekers attack Atlas again." Ellie said. "That is why, I'm proposing that we combine both the Company security with the Atlesian army. And together...we can guard every Dust shipment. Trains. Airships. Boats. Etc. It's a decent proposal."

"That may be, Ellie." Weiss said. "But that also runs a risk, of our soldiers being killed."

"Miss Schnee." Ironwood said. "I understand, that you feel this way. But, my men are prepared to fight, for this. And that they will lay their lives, to protect the shipments, at all costs. Miss Myrtle's plan is, in fact to only reasonable one, we have, thats' without the risk of losing too many of my men. I say, we go with this plan."

"I don't know." Weiss said, before looking at William. "What do you think, Father?"

"Hm. Guarding Dust shipments, and the risk of losing soldiers." William said. "I don't like this plan. But...if it'll get the shipments to Atlas...we may have to go with this plan."

Weiss turns and looks at Ruby, who just nods. She sighs.

"Alright." Weiss said. "Ironwood will send a number of his soldiers to Vale, to start. Ellie. You show them, what they have to do, and who they'll be working with. Some may have to get used to working with the Faunus, who work as guards."

"I'll be sure, that there will be no trouble." Ellie said. "So...now that we have that done, I think we should end the meeting now. And I'll be heading back to Vale, as soon as possible."

Everyone stands up. Ellie shakes William's hand, and William with Ironwood's. Ironwood then walks to Weiss.

"I know, this will be risky, Miss Schnee." He said. "But, it is the best option, we have right now.

"I understand." Weiss said, before she walks to Ruby.

"Well, that was short." Ruby said. "I was expecting it to be a little longer.

"It tends to happen." Weiss said. "They can go for hours, sometimes. Come on. I'd like to show you something."

As soon as the door opens, a device is thrown to the table. Ruby sees the device, and her eyes go wide, as it explodes, sending everyone crashing onto or through the walls. Ruby, who was thrown through, gets up, and sees someone walking towards her. Someone with a sadistic smile.

"Ruby Rose." Tyrian said, smiling. "We meet, at last."

Tyrian grabs Ruby, and helps her stand up. He even picks up Crimson Rose, and gives it to her. He then backs away, and takes out his claw blades.

"Now, let's make this a fair fight, shall we?." He said, then giving an evil chuckle.

"Who are you?" Ruby asked, readying Crimson Rose.

"Oh, I would so like to tell you. But, Torchwick wouldn't want you to...oops! I guess, the cat's out of the bag, now."

Ruby just watches Tyrian chuckles, before he suddenly charges, and tries to make a few swipes with his claw blades. Ruby dodges these attacks, and tries to attack, who dodges, too.

Ruby turns and sees Weiss getting up. Tyrian notices and smiles, before he throws another device, and it lands next to Weiss, who just sees it. It explodes, sending Weiss flying, and crashing onto a wall. Weiss' Aura depletes, as she lands on the floor.

Ruby yells and flies, tackling Tyrian, and throwing him away, before going to Weiss.

"Weiss!" Ruby exclaims. "Are you okay?"

Weiss groans in pain, as she sits up. "I'm good. Just a few bruises." She tries to reach for something, but finds that it's not there. "My weapon."

"I'll get it. Just stay here, while your Aura recovers." Ruby said.

She gets up, and goes into the conference room, where everyone else is unconsious. She sees Myrtenaster on the ground, and picks it up, When she exits, she stop to see Tyrian right in front of her. But, before she attacks, she feels something wrap around her neck, and it drags her backwards, away.

Tyrian then turns around, and sees Weiss looking at him. He then takes out something, and presses a button. Weiss hears beeping, and turns around. She sees one of Tyrian's bombs on the ceiling, before it explodes. Weiss' eyes goe wides, as debris fall towards her. She then does her best to summon a glyph to deflect the debris, but it doesn't protect her right leg.

A few feet away, Ruby struggles to release herself from the rope, that surrounds her neck. Her eyes glow, and she manages to freeze the rope, and shattering it. Standing up, she watches Tyrian leap off the building, and a loud boom is heard.

Weiss' screams makes Ruby go into alert, and she heads to where the screams occur. Ruby's eyes go wide, as she sees Weiss, with debris pierced through her right leg, pinning her. Ruby runs to Weiss, crouches her, and sees that Weiss is starting to lose consiousness.

"Weiss!" Ruby yells. "Weiss. Don't go to sleep. Please. You need to stay awake."

Ruby then hears footsteps, and shakily turns to see Yang and Blake, eyes wide in shock.

"Help her." Ruby said, tears falling. "Help her, please."

PRESENT DAY - LAB

Ruby is interrupted, by two fingers snapping in front of her. She looks up, to see Penny Polendina, in front of her.

"Ruby?" Penny said. "Are you okay? You appear to be crying."

Ruby quickly stands up, and wipes her tears away.

"I'm fine, Penny." She said. "Just got caught, in the past, I guess."

"...I see." Penny said. "Well...I just ran into Weiss, as she left, and she wanted me to keep an eye on you. Said, that you tend to act like this, occasionally."

Ruby looks around, and notices that Weiss is gone.

"Oh. I didn't notice, she left." Ruby said. "Thanks for watching over me, Penny. But, I don't think, that's necessary."

Penny nods. "I understand, Ruby. Some people do prefer to be alone, at times. I will respect your privacy, the next time, this happens." She then looks at the watch, she's wearing. "I'm sorry, Ruby. But, I must go. I'm only hear for a little while, before I need to report back to Ironwood."

"Alright, then." Ruby said. "See you, then?"

"Yeah." Penny answered. "I'll be in the foyer, if you wish to talk to me."

Penny then gives Penny a salute, before walking away, and out of the room. Ruby sits back down, and places her hands on her head.

JNPR ROOM

Jaune is looking at his shield, closely looking at it. Pyrrha is sitting across from him, and smiling.

"Well." Jaune said. "You didn't leave any marks, this time. Least, I don't have to worry about the extra work."

"I do my best." Pyrrha said. She then sees the design on Jaune's shield, which had the gold lining on it, and a design near the bottom, that looked familiar. "Jaune. I've been meaning to ask you this. But, I really get the chance, until now: Whatever happened to my circlet?"

Jaune's eyes go wide, and looks at Pyrrha, before looking back at his shield.

"Ummmmm..."

Pyrrha sighs. "You melted it, and put it on your shield. Didn't you?"

"Well...technically, we thought you were dead." Jaune said, rubbing the back of his head. "And...your parents kind of gave their permission. Saying that it would carry on your memory, or something."

Pyrrha chuckles. "Jaune. It's fine. I completely understand. Besides...it's a lovely design on your shield."

Jaune then sheathes his shield, and the shield collapses. He then places it, on his bed, and stands up.

"Pyrrha. You think, I can have the room, for a few minutes?"

Pyrrha's smile fades. "Did I do something wrong? Or did I try-"

"No. You did nothing wrong. It's just...I just need some time to think. That's all."

Pyrrha nods, and she stands up. "I'll be in the dining room, with Ren and Nora. See you there?"

Jaune nods. "I will."

Pyrrha then walks and leaves the room, shutting the door behind her. Jaune walks to a dresser, and rests his hands on it, sighing.

"Just a few minutes, alone. That's all I need, right now. Yeah. It's exactly what I need."

Jaune then hears a slight chuckle, and quickly turns around. Though a little surprised, he know who it is. Her deceased pink and brown haired girlfriend, sitting on his bed, smiling.

"You know." Neo said. "I find it kinda funny, when you talk to yourself. It tends to get funnier, the more you talk."

Jaune chuckles. "Yeah." He the turns around, and rests on the dresser. "That's good ol' me. Always being funny, even when I don't even know it."

Neo then taps to the space next to her. "Come. Sit."

Jaune then walks to his bed, and sits next to Neo. His smiles quickly fades.

"You know, you're not really here. Right?"

Neo nods and places her hands on Jaune's.

"I do." She said. "But, this don't mean, you're going insane or something. You just simply haven't moved on, from my death."

Juane lowers his head and stares at the ground.

"I just miss you, Neo." He said. "The way, you were taken from me. It...it just wasn't fair."

Neo stands up and is now in front of Jaune, who doesn't move.

"Jaune." She said. "I know, how this is difficult for you, to get through. And I know, how much anger, you have inside. You want to find Cinder...and kill her, for what she did to me."

Neo then places her hands on Jaune's shoulders.

"But, I'm simply asking you. Don't. I don't...your friends do not want to see you become a murderer, Jaune. Going down that path, is something, that you'll never leave. All I'm am asking, is that you instead...bring Cinder in, and do the right thing. Can you do that? For me? For your friends?"

Neo then gives a kiss to Jaune's head, before backing away. Jaune lifts his head, and sees that he's now the only only one in the room. He stands up and picks up Crocea Mors and stares at it.

"Yeah."

Jaune then proceeds to leave the room, closing the door behind him.

GARDENS

Yang stands around the gardens, which are surrounded by bushes. She goes to one of the bushes and picks a purple flower and stares at it.

She then turns around, and sees Blake, looking at her. Blake sees the flower.

"Lilac?" Blake asked.

Yang nods. "Yeah. Velvet told me, that lilacs have a special meaning."

"And what is that meaning?"

Yang then walks closer to Blake, and proceeds to place the lilac over Blake's left ear.

"First love, Blake." Yang answered. "Lilac meaning 'first love.' And you will be my only love"

Blake smiles, and rests her head on Yang, and wrapping her arms around her.

"I'm also sorry, I didn't get anything for you." Yang said.

"It's okay." Blake said. "The only thing, I want tonight...is you."

Yang smiles. "Of course, Kitten."

WEISS' ROOM

Ruby and Weiss lie together on Weiss' bed, holding each other, and staring at the ceiling. Ruby feels Weiss' head moving closer to her face.

"Do you like my gift?" Ruby asked.

Weiss lifts her left hand, looking at the charm bracelet, Ruby gave to her, and smiling. Weiss then looks at Ruby.

"It's beautiful." She said. "But, you really didn't need to get me anything."

Ruby kisses Weiss' forehead. "I know. But, I would've felt guilty, if I didn't."

Weiss then proceeds to sit up, open a drawer, and take out something. She then lies back down, and shows Ruby the object. The watch that Weiss was making, but painted red and black, with Ruby's emblem on the back.

Ruby is surprised, as she looks at the watch.

"I...I didn't know exactly, what to give to you, with the exception of sweets." Weiss said. "So, I instead made you this."

Ruby takes the watch and looks at it. "A pocket watch?"

"Well...it's not just a pocket watch." Weiss said.

She then presses the button that was on the side of the watch, and the clock opens open. It then shows a hologram of Ruby and Weiss dancing together. Ruby, surprised, watches as the hologram ends with them holding each other close, before their lips meet, and the hologram dissapears, and the clock closes. Ruby smiles.

"I love it." Ruby said. "Thank you, Weiss."

Weiss wraps her arms around Ruby again, and lightly yawns. Ruby places the watch down, and rests her head on top of Weiss' She is silent, as she hears Weiss slowly drift to sleep. Stroking Weiss' hair, Ruby begins to slowly drift off.

"I love you."

That's all she says, before she falls asleep.

JAIL CELL

"LET ME OUT!"

The woman with black hair amber eyes punches the wall of her jail cell. But, with no luck. Knowing that she can't, Cinder Fall turns towards a small window.

"DO YOU HEAR ME? LET ME OUT!"

Cider then bashes her head on the window, but it doesn't crack. She continues to do so.

On the other side, she is being watched.

Winter Schnee, her arms crossed, angrily watches Cinder attempt to break the window.

"Relax, Winter."

Winter turns and sees Glynda Goodwitch, watching Cinder as well.

"It's only a matter of time, before she finally cracks and tells us something."

"I'm aware." Winter said. "But, it's been 6 months, Glynda. And we've only managed to get snippets. It's not enough."

"Just be patient." Goodwitch said. "After all. He is confident, that Cinder Fall will indeed be brought to justice. But, only in due time."

Winter sighs. "As you wish." She turns back to Goodwitch. "I have to ask. But...I feel like, it's time that I reveal myself, Glynda. I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of hiding in the shadows."

"I understand, Winter." Goodwitch said. "But, until he gives us the go ahead, we have to remain discreet. I know you want to see your family again. But, as I said before...be patient."

"...Fine." Winter said, before turning back.

Cinder is still bashing at the window, until she backs away and screams in anger.
