Child of Omens: Part 3

Chapter 29: The Demon Inside

Falke and Raven walk out of the portal she made for the two of them. Exciting into Team NAFP's room, inside, Ace's belongings have been moved, but some of his belongings have been set up as decorations.

Falke: "You know it feels almost too quiet without him."

Raven: "I am sorry for your loss. But it is nice to see you keeping true to his memory."

Falke: "Yeah, he sure did like to collect hand cannons, so we kind of chose to keep them as a testament to his legacy."

Raven: "Well, I am proud of you for taking the time to spend some amount of time with Hawk. I know it may have been difficult to see him as nothing more than an enemy, but you chose to look past his exterior."

Falke: "Beleive me, it was pretty difficult, but when he went out of his way to bring us, Ace. I knew then and there that he wasn't as nonhuman as he claimed to be."

As Falke finished his sentence, Nero burst into the room. Surprised to see Falke and Raven in the center of the room.

Falke: "Oh! Hey Nero."

Nero: "Falke! Come quickly; it's Yang. She's collapsed!"

Raven's heart stops for a second when she hears the words. While Yang did betray the Branwen family by killing Falke, and Raven did treat her with contempt. But when she heard how her daughter was in danger. It triggered her motherly instinct.

Raven: "Show us, now."

After several minutes of Nero, Falke, and Raven rushing through the hallways of Shade academy, they finally make it to the training arena. They see in the center of the arena the rest of Team RWBY, Team NAFP, Summer, Qrow, Dante, and Vergil. They currently crouched over Yang, who was passed out on the floor. She was pale, with black veins spreading through her body. Running up, they hear how Yang speaks in a foreign language to everyone else.

Qrow: "Raven?!"

Raven: "I'm not here for pleasantries. I'm here for my daughter."

Ruby: "What's wrong with her?! We were training, and she collapsed and started to spasm."

Vergil: "Silence!! I need to listen." The others stay silent as he listens to her ramblings.

Dante: "No..it can't be."

Falke: "What is it?"

Vergil: "It's demonic tongue. The demon blood she drank is corrupting her."

Raven: "What does that mean, master?"

Dante: "Yang drank demon blood. When a demon dies, and it has any blood left over, its soul transfers to the blood."

Vergil: "Those who drink the blood will see the benefits of it at first but will eventually be plagued by the soul of the demon."

Ruby: "Will she be alright?"

Dante: "That depends on if she can fight off the demon soul."

Falke: "Is there any way we can help? Like to separate the demon from her as we did with you and Dante."

Vergil: "Unlike with the staff, you created a new body for us to inhabit. We mustn't give this demon a new body."

Dante: "Look to separate the demon in her body you'll need the Yamato to do that."

Falke: "And we know only one person with that...fuck."

Blake: "So we just find Hawk and take it from him."

Nero: "Yeah! Fuck this treaty shit!"

Pyrrha: "We know where he and his Four Swords are."

Summer: "And we have the best pilot around. Getting to there shouldn't be a problem."

Falke: "Then it looks like we know what we have to do. But you all know that if we do this, he won't hesitate to kill either the twin gods or us."

Weiss: "It doesn't matter. We have to save Yang."

Dante: "Okay, okay, kiddos. We need a plan for both Hawk and Yang because it's not a safe idea to leave her unguarded. So how about this. Team RWBY, Qrow, and Raven, you stay with V and care for Yang. Mind you. You'll probably have to keep her tied up."

Vergil: "Team NAFP, Me and Dante, will head to face against Hawk and his Four Swords."

Raven: "No. I'll head with you. There's a chance Hawk can be reasoned with."

Vergil: "Fine. But be warned they aren't going to be an easy fight."

Raven: "If I learned anything from you, master, it's that skill beats power." Vergil nods.

Qrow: "Alright, first we got to get Yang to someplace safer." Qrow picks her up and walks her back to Team RWBY's dorm.

Dante and Vergil head out of the arena, followed by Summer. Finally remaining in the arena are Team NAFP and Raven. Raven walks over and places a and on his shoulder.

Raven: "Don't worry, we'll save her." But Falke wasn't worried, but he was contemplating something he heard.

Falke: "No, that's not it.........oh fuck."
