RWBY Volume 4 Redux

Deep End

-Atlesian Rebellion, 21 years Ago-

Gathered around during the rebellion was Team STRM (minus Saturn, who was out scouting the city) in the bar of Mantle. Alongside them was Team STRQ, led by Summer Rose. Who took off her hood. "Is everyone here?" Asked Summer.

"Saturn shouldn't be long." The young huntsmen and huntresses nodded. gathering around the small table. There was Summer, Taiyang, twins Qrow and Raven, Li, Mai, and Tamaku.

"I never expect for the rebellion to be this much." Then Sai entered the room. "I came here as soon as you called, Taku." Sai said the nickname to her then-boyfriend before they married. She then eyes on Raven.

"Ugh! What is she doing here?!" Sai growled. Raven's eye narrowed. "Why am I not surprised? Only dead weights don't come with a team." Raven said. They two were urged to fight. But Summer intervened.

"Enough! While you two don't have to like each other! But we're in this together!" Summer reminded them. Sai only stepped down only because she could not hold grudges in the middle of an upcoming war. For now, they have to hate each other in silence.

"Fine! Only because of Tamaku." Sai replied. She then went over to Tamaku, who held her hand. And Sai did the same for him. As Raven jealously stared at the two. How love can make her sick and loathing. It sickens her enough to hate the two.

"I never imagined the day I would fight alongside you again, sister." Li said to his twin sister. Though estranged from Li, she has no problem replying to her brother. "I'm surprised to admit that I'm glad to see you. I hope you and An around are well." Mai replied calmly.

"I want to apologize for leaving the clan and our family." Li said, sighs of the shame he had to go for all in the name of the love he has for An. "I know I disobeyed Father... but..."

"Save your regrets later, brother. We have to focus on the now. We have a battlefield to finish." Being the warrior Mai is, she is more focused on the fate of Atlas. Her then-fiance, Choi, was ordered by Mai to be in charge of guarding the bar. While also keeping watch.

"Very well. Congratulations on gaining leadership on the clan, though." Said Li. On the one hand, he regrets disobeying his father for not marrying an opposing clan's heiress arranged for him in the name of obligation. But on the other hand, he did not regret being with An. All he wanted to know was to reconcile with his family. Mai understands how much Li loves An and knows there was nothing he could do to stop him. Mai decided to take his place as heiress of the Ren Clan, even if it means marrying Choi as arranged by her father, Liu.

Saturn then went inside the bar to meet his comrades in battle against his own father, Uranus. Disgusted with his father's plans to take over Atlas, Saturn has no other choice but to rebel against his family, and his tribe.

Along with him came a young woman in a blue hood. "Sorry, I'm late. I came with an informat who knows more of the city than any of us." Saturn said, gesturing the woman to came closer to the group. She unveils her cloak to reveal her face. The group was shocked to see who it is. White hair and ice-blue eyes.

"Forgive my presence, I do not wish to take part of this war, but I need your assistance to aid my father. I am Willow Schnee." The daughter of Nicholas Schnee himself.

"Do not apologize. You might need me in order to guide you in this city. I recently caught word that Uranus was sending out spies among the huntsmen in the academy. Neither Father and I can't trust the huntsmen in Atlas. But you're the hope we need to stop Uranus." Willow explains.

"We understand the situation. We appreciate you helping us, Miss Schnee." Summer assured Willow.

"Please, just call me Willow. To Atlas, I am Willow Schnee. But I prefer my first name to any of you all."
