We Are Stronger Together (RWBY x OC's)

A perfect storm

*Bandit Compound*

Cri sat on a stump, things had changed severely since Yang and the others left. Things have been more tense and Raven was more paranoid seemingly thinking about her daughter's betrayal.

Bandit: ARROWHEADS UP AHEAD!

The sound of gunfire was heard as several shots were exchanged by both parties, Cri got up and grabbed his blade before running over to see the commotion, The arrowheads were rapidly closing in on the gates and Soon Raven and Xeno walked out of their tents, they ran for the gate and had their men open it. Raven ran head first into battle taking down some of the arrowheads, while Xeno did the same on the opposite side, even with their combined forces they knew they were outnumbered, Soon Jeremiah and the lieutenant emerged, Raven immediately headed for jeremiah but he blocked the attack with his blade, he pushed her back.

Jeremiah: Want us to stop?

Raven: I'm going to kill all of you!

Jeremiah: Well before you do i suggest you listen to what they have to say first

Jeremiah points over to Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and Watts who were walking down the trail, Cinder had a smirk on her face as she walked closer.

Jeremiah: I suggest you listen to them, I'm sure you know why

Raven: Salem...

Jeremiah: Good eye birdie

Raven hit Jeremiah in the face with her blade's hilt knocking him on her ass, He scowls at her before getting up and wiping the blood off his face

Raven: You all work for salem?

Cinder: Correct, I'm cinder fall, i'm here with my associate Arthur Watts and my two disciples Emerald and Mercury, as well as the arrowheads as you know them well.

Raven: Why are you here?

Cinder: We are aware that you have something our master wants

Watts: And because of that you've been on our master's list for sometime

Raven: And what would that be?

Cinder: Oh please raven, You wouldn't have been running for so long if you didn't know what we were talking about so let's make this short, We need the spring maiden.

Raven: Well she belongs to my people, she cannot simply be taken away

Cinder: We don't need her to have her on our side, I already have that part of our master's plan covered

Cinder snaps her fingers and sparks fly out

Watt: We merely need the maiden to open the vault to the haven relic

Cinder: Give us the maiden temporarily and we'll leave your people along for good

Raven: And if I refuse?

Mercury: I don't think you really have a choice here

Raven turns over to mercury

Raven: Who are you to threaten me? I get the maiden but i don't get who you too make me feel fear, because if that's what your trying to do then i simply don't see it... Child

Mercury: You-

Cinder raises her hand and Mercury shuts up

Cinder: Raven don't antagonize my disciples, they still have much to learn. Now why delay our time? Let us see the maiden

Raven: And if i don't have her

Cinder: Well then, I'm afraid we'll simply leave your camp to the arrowheads, I've heard how such good friends your people are with them
