Dragon's Tale (book four) [Discontinued]

A New Approach

The following is a fan-based story, all plots, concepts, themes, and characters are owned by their respective creators. I acknowledge that without the series; RWBY, Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball my story would not exist. Please support the creators of these shows by watching any or all of the original series.

Ruby looked out the window of the airship they had been transferred to, the city of Mantle hung far below. Inside with her, everyone sat in quiet, waiting to arrive. Nora and Dakkon were struggling to try and break free, Nora eating at the cuffs, Dakkon simply wanting to try and move and speak again. Either way, everyone's head was dropped low as they waited their arrival. Another man was being transported with them, but he remained silent in the darker corner

Ruby: where do you think they're taking us?

Qrow: I'm gonna go with jail

Jaune: I still can't believe that... fishing pole guy took us out like it was nothing! They even knew Dakkon's weak points, they had to have studied Dragon Slayers

Weiss: welcome to Atlas. Those were Ironwood's Ace Operatives

Man: hmm? You guys had a run-in with the Ace-Ops? Ironwood must really have a bone to pick with you

Weiss: they're not that big of a deal

Man: not that big of a deal? The Ace-Ops are the elite-of-elite military Huntsmen. And Ironwood's personal attack dogs

Nora: so they got you too huh?

Man: pffft! I wouldn't let myself get caught by them! I'm here because I've been speaking out against Atlas' exploitation of Mantle. And General Ironwood is trying to silence me!

Guard: you threw a brick at her ship!

Man: it's worth it if it gets people talking about our cause!

The man sat proudly with a wide smile of confidence on his face. Both the drivers sighed and tuned out of the conversation

Blake: our cause?

Man: yes, the fight for better conditions in Mantle! Lead by the charismatic, talented, lovely, Robyn Hill and her Happy Huntresses!

One of the guards flipped a switch to raise the glass and stop the man's talking from reaching them

Dakkon: mhmmm mhfm mmhmm (that sound's cheesy)

The man ignored Dakkon's mumbled talk through the mask and got through some final words to the guards

Man: they were all top Atlas academy graduates, who could've signed up for the military. But Robyn and the Huntresses chose to stay in Mantle. She's gunning for a seat on the kingdom's council, and when she gets it, she's gonna put an end to Ironwood's tyranny

Oscar: happy... Huntresses?

Yang: is that their real name?

Weiss: don't you think tyranny's a little dramatic

The man turned around, recognising Weiss instantly

Man: easy to say for a Schnee heiress living comfortably up in Atlas

Weiss sighed before sitting back and looking out the window

Weiss: not anymore

The airship reached the height of the floating island of upper class Atlas citizens. Ruby looked out the window as Nora continued to try and gnaw at the cuffs

Ruby: whoa, it's gorgeous up here!

The others stood up to see for themselves

Weiss: don't let that fool you
