RWBY: Siblings Three (Malereader)

Round One

"I need to talk to him, just give me 10 minutes."

"And what gives you the impression that I'd tell you the location of Roman's holding cell?" General Ironwood asked with a skeptical raise of his eyebrow, his arms folded across his chest as he stared down at Y/n.

"Because I caught him, because I found out his plan, because you expect me to trust you and Ozpin but can't trust me for 10 minutes!" Y/n exclaimed, his frustration boiling over as he glared at Ironwood. "You want trust? It goes both ways, but you don't trust me and I don't trust you, we're not getting anywhere with trust just let me speak to Roman."

Ironwood's jaw tightened, his sharp gaze scrutinizing Y/n. "You're right. I don't give a damn about your trust." Ironwood stood up before finishing. "But you'd do well to make sure you're trustworthy, so you don't get mistaken as opposition."

Y/n clenched his fists, staring back at Ironwood, he opened his mouth to retort, but he stopped himself, realizing that arguing further wouldn't help. Instead, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to steady his voice.

"Fine," Y/n said through gritted teeth.

"Not even Professor Ozpin can protect you for something like this!" An Atlesian soldier shouted from the ground, Y/n stood behind a desk occupied with a computer.

Y/n's gaze shifted to the chaos around him. The sounds of rhythmic clicking of keys as he worked at the desk, searching for answers on the computer. "I'm just looking for Roman, you're the ones making this difficult."

The soldier, still half-conscious, groaned, his hand weakly reaching for his weapon. "You think you can just walk out of here after what you've done? You're not leaving until Ironwood gets his hands on you, traitor."

Y/n walked past the soldier, kicking his weapon away. "Not a traitor, not a citizen of atlas." Y/n's scroll beeped as the download finished, lifting up his scroll Y/n observed the map on that just installed.

"I figured he was in one of the airships." Y/n dragged the soldier into a closet, pulling a cylindrical container out of his coat, dropping it on the floor. "By the time you wake up, I'll have everything I need."

Y/n shut the closet door with a firm click, leaving the unconscious soldier hidden from view.

Visitors from all over the world gathered in the stands to watch Vytal Festival. In the field of volcanic earth and icy glaciers below as Blake exchanges blows with Reese Chloris, Gambol Shroud colliding with the hoverboard of her opponent until she flips away, readies herself, and charges in again. Behind her, Weiss waves Myrtenaster as she begins to summon a glyph and finally Yang dodges the explosive force of Arslan's Altan's fist before returning fire with her Ember Celica.

Reese steers her board through the ice, she twirls herself until the board gets launched at Blake, but she's able to knock it away, only for Reese to direct it back at her opponent. Blake blocks it again, but the board rotates back to its wielder just in time to defend Reese as Blake delivers several slashes. Reese deflects each attack and spins her board around, flipping away and using it to ride off again, rushing towards a smirking Blake.

She collides with the frozen shadow clone, and Blake uses her opportunity to slice the board in two, only for the halves to become dual katars that in turn fold up into bayonet-bladed revolvers.

Reese only manages to fire off a few green rounds before her tailbone collides painfully on the cold ground. Blake winces with sympathy.

Meanwhile, Yang lands a few feet away from Arslan, who backs away before being hit by two quick punches from Yang. The pair dodge each others kicks before Arslan delivers her own attacks, launching a series of blows.
