The Wolf, The Lion, and The Dragon - (Vol.3)

Ch.8 Destiny

Cyra's Pov

When we got just outside of Team RWBY's dorm, me and Raiden found two Atlesian-Knight 200s guarding the room, Ironwood's voice being heard through the door.

Ironwood: "I'm sorry, but you left us no choice"

Raiden and I were about to go in when the two droids stopped us where we are. Being incredibly annoyed at this, they didn't say anything. We turned the doorknob to see Yang sitting on her bed, with Josh beside her. Ironwood was pacing around the room, with Brisa standing right beside the window.

Yang: "But he attacked me!"

Ironwood: "Video footage and millions of viewers say otherwise."

Weiss: "But Yang would never do that!"

Ruby: "Yeah!"

Brisa walked her way towards Blake's side, as I just stood and started listening to the conversation silently. Actually, after the incident at the tournament match, Brisa was able to convince the General to confine Yang to her dorm room. Brisa just hoped that it was better than a cell at the very least. Ironwood sighed as he turns around, Yang sighed placing her head in her hands with Josh placing a comforting hand on the blonde's shoulder.

Ironwood: "You all seem like good students, and the staff here at Beacon are fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did...under normal circumstances."

Josh: "Just get to the point, General."

While the general didn't like the way he just spoke, he gave him a slightly stern look, which he returned to him as he did. Brisa continued what he was saying, hoping to draw the General's attention away from Josh.

Brisa: "Listen, we believe and hope this to be is nothing more than the result of stress and adrenaline."

Ironwood: "When you're out on the battlefield, your judgment can become clouded in an instant. Sometimes you see things that simply aren't there. Even after the fight is past...."

Yang: "But I wasn't-"

Ironwood: "That's ENOUGH!"

The General's sudden outburst silenced the whole room for a second before he continued again in a more serene tone.

Ironwood: "The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions. And it's my job to inform you that... you are disqualified."

Yang's shock turns into miserable understanding when she looks to the ground. With that, Ironwood then walked past Raiden and I through the doorway, followed by the two Atlesian-Knights. Raiden begins closing the door, and when the door clicks shut, Yang turns to all of us.

Yang: "You guys, believe me, right?"

Ruby: "Duh!"

Raiden: "Do you still have to ask?! Of course! I mean.. we all do, right?"

Josh: "Obviously!"

Cyra: "Of course."

Weiss: "You're hotheaded, but not ruthless."

Brisa stays silent for a moment, much to Yang's distress.

Yang: "B-Brisa?"

Brisa: "That would depend on what you're referring to....."

Yang: "Wha...what do you mean?"

Brisa sighs for a moment before she speaks again.

Brisa: "Look, if you're asking whether you hit that guy or not, then I'm afraid that I think you did hit him."
