RWBY : Shattered Ego

Chapter 32 : Problems

So to recap this time, everyone was told about Ozpin and everyone was told about Weiss' situation. Everyone was restless, especially Jaune then he lashed out in return. Somehow Weiss was able to summon people now or what is thought to be their essence of sorts. She faints and is resting upstairs while Pyrrha and Blake are looking after her. Then there was that human who was summoned- we'll basically call him the 'ethereal' for now to make things simple.

Jaune said the man looks and sounds exactly like his dad but seems to be more uptight about things. Oscar had somehow left without anyone notice so most of us have been out looking. Ruby sigh, just when everything was starting to get better for them... Yang who saw how her little sister had been silent had put a hand on the younger's shoulder in an attempt to reassure her. Though however little, it was enough to bring a smile even for a while. "Hey, we'll find him." The blonde spoke softly.

"Do you think, we can get through this." the cat faunus says. Being the only person awake other than Pyrrha, it can be stuffy with everything that happens recently. Sometimes people need to get their thoughts out or maybe they just need a little company to talk or listen to ease their mind.

Pyrrha was silent, she was still trying to wrap her heads around what Weiss had spurred out- sure it was in the heat of the moment but Pyrrha still wonders of it. It was true, had Weiss not stepped in at the time then she would have surely been dead. The champion sighs, she hopes that Jaune could cool down a little now. He went out with the others to search for Oscar in this cold climate. The stirring body of the sleeping heiress brought the red head back to attention. Why did Weiss says it like that?

From what Pyrrha could remember, Weiss was a hard cookie. Tough around strangers but would warm up to people she finds comfortable enough. At first she thought that Weiss would be like those other people who seek her out only because she's a star amongst them but through the time she spent those few months, Pyrrha soon discovers something concerning.

During the nights at Beacon, Pyrrha would sometimes leave her dorm for a walk to feel the different scenery. She had been spending her time training at Sanctum, there bound to be differences. During one of those night strands, she had spotted a certain heiress still in her pyjamas. Who were by herself twirling and waltzing in the halls. Being the cautious person and not wanting to interrupt the heiress' free time- she kept her presence hidden but being slightly curious, she stays to see. At that time Weiss had never looked so free.

Weiss was prancing around in glee singing a song that at the time was thought to be unreleased. A song about yearning for freedom and the unknown. Probably trying to discover what her semblance can do. Being the shadowy bystander by watching from afar making sure no one would bother, Pyrrha could see how happy the heiress was. She was like a child playing with snow then she saw it, how beautiful the heiress semblance does its works by creating projections. Pyrrha had also thought why the ethereal had looked familiar, he was one of those who were projected back then.

"I-" before the red head could say more, a rustle sounded like a door opening was heard. Did it come from the main entrance? "I'll go check." Blake said before letting herself out. Did Oscar come back? After seeing all that, after knowing all of this? If he did then he definitely has the guts for this kind of job, just like Jaune- he just needs more time to train first.

"Oscar?" the black cat cautiously walked down. Seems she doesn't need to since the person is clearly the boy who ran off a few hours ago. Taking another look at him, he changed his attire- more like adding new things such as the green coat, it'd make for a good defence attire. It looks like he's in it with them to try and defend Remnant. "I'll tell the others you're back." Blake sighs with a smile.

Ruby and Yang had been out for quite a while, at this time they wondered if Oscar had either gone back to his home or if he stayed in Argus by now. Meanwhile Jaune, Ren and Nora had gone to another part of the city. Walking along the walkway, it was clear to see the guilt of their fearless leader. Though moping in his thoughts, his team tries their best to cheer him up. Out of all them, Jaune were the least person they thought would react like that but then again- he and Pyrrha had just reconnected and then he discovered how things could have been deadly for the red head had it not been for- right, it was Weiss.
