RWBY: Remnants Hybrid (Yang Xiao Long x Male Reader)

Vol. 6 Part 3: Apathy

The Next Day

You and Yang were sleeping next to one another in front of the fire place. However, your sleep was rudely interrupted by Ruby who shook you both awake.

Ruby: Guys wake up! We overslept!

You were able to get up fairly quickly, but you noticed that Yang was surprisingly slow to rise.

(Y/N): Yang, are you ok.

Yang: Yeah, I think so.

Something's up, but there isn't time to figure it out.

Slight Time Skip:

Later on, we made our way outside. Weiss is using Myrtenaster to weld a metal ball to a makeshift trailer hitch attached to Bumblebee. You couldn't help but notice the conditions of your teammates. They were all exhausted. You could smell it on them.

Weiss: There.

Oscar and Blake are sitting on the steps of the porch.

Oscar: Can we just go back to bed?

Blake: If we're all so tired, maybe we should make breakfast?

Oscar: You wanna make it?

Blake: Not really.

You pulled the flatbed trailer behind Yang's bike and attached it to the metal ball. Qrow, Ruby, and Yang walked up behind you.

Ruby: Is the bike ready?

(Y/N): All set.

Qrow: Well, it's done now. So let's hook this thing up and-

Qrow rests his foot on the side of the trailer, and the tire on the opposite side goes flat. He groans in frustration before checking on the tire.

Maria: You people are just beacons for bad luck, aren't you?

You let out a roar and shot fire into the sky in rage. When you stopped, your breathing quickened and your body began to change, though very slowly. This did not go unnoticed by the others. Your temper was starting to slip, but rather then let it go uncontrolled, you clenched your fists, digging your claws into your palms. Blood began to poor down from your hands as you fell to your knees, finally calming down. From behind you, everyone watched in shock from what they saw you do. Ruby and Weiss in particular looked like they were gonna puke. Yang rushed over to you and helped you up. Once up, the two face everyone.

Yang: I'm starting to think the universe just doesn't want us getting to Atlas.

Ruby: It's just a flat tire, I'm sure there's a spare.

Yang: It's not just that, it's everything. Storms, crashes, monsters... (sighs) I'm so tired.

Blake: Me too. It feels like we're always having to fight to get by.

Ruby: Yeah. But that's what we signed up for.

Oscar: We signed up to try and save the world, not just... delay the inevitable.

Weiss: Last night, I... (putting a hand on her arm) I couldn't stop thinking. Why are we even going to Atlas?

Ruby: Weiss, we have to.

Yang: Why? Ozpin hid the Relics behind giant doors under enormous schools. What reason is there for us to not go home?

Everyone then grew suspicious looks at Yang's remark.

Blake: What's that supposed to mean?

Yang and yourself look at each other.

(Y/N): Yang, we have to tell them.
