Cold As Ice: RWBY

Memories

I woke up right before the sun shined above the horizon and suited up. I replaced my helmet on top of my head and locked it into place. I grabbed my pistol and holstered it. I added a knife strap to my left shoulder for close combat. The knife was 13 cm long with a serrated edge, a perfect knife for slashing and stabbing with. I left my tent and went to the main tent for today's briefing. I walked inside and saluted in front of Adam's table. "Omega, reporting for duty sir!" I exclaimed. Adam nodded and looked over a few maps. "You are to interrogate the target and see what information you can find out," Adam said. I was confused. "What information are we looking for?" I asked. Adam looked up. "See if you can wrench any secrets out from her. Secrets important to the White Fang," he replied. I nodded, saluted and left the tent. I went to fetch a vehicle that would take me to the prisoner's location. I walked towards the field where the White Fang kept their vehicles. I saw a couple of soldiers lounging about, their backs to me. I walked behind them and said, "I need a transport to take me to the prisoner's location." One of the soldiers scoffed. "Who's asking?" he sneered. I picked him up by the throat and slowly began to crush his trachea. "I am," I growled. His friend slowly backed up and watched in horror as I slowly killed his friend. I let go just before he was about to pass out. "Now, about that transport?" I asked once again. The soldier scrambled to his feet. "R-right away sir!" he stammered. He ran to his plane and started it up. I stepped inside, but another soldier stopped me. "What is it?" I growled, impatient to take off. The soldier shook in fear as he said, "Adam want Neo to go with you." I nodded. "Very well, get her onboard then," I said. The soldier ushered Neo into the plane and we took off.

We arrived at the warehouse were I first woke up. The plane landed, allowing Neo and I to leave the plane. "Stay here until we return," I said to the pilot. He nodded and kept the plane's engine running. Neo and I stepped inside to see an unconscious Blake tied to a chair with several guards surrounding her. "Leave us," I commanded. The soldiers all saluted and left. Neo wheeled out a cart filled with various tools of interrogation. "Wake her up," I told Neo. She smiled and grabbed a bucket of cold water and splashed it on Blake. Blake's eyes flew open and she gasped for air. I leaned down to look at her in the face. "Wakey, wakey," I said. Her eyes widened in shock. "Ryan? What am I doing here?" she asked. I slapped her across the face. "Don't call me that!" I yelled. "My name is Omega and I work for the White Fang!" She sat in silence and wouldn't look at me. I grabbed her by the chin and made her look at me. "What do you know about the White Fang?" I asked. She continued to sit in silence, refusing to answer. I stood up and walked over to the cart Neo rolled out earlier. I picked and electric baton and activated it, making it glow a fluorescent blue and crackling with energy. I held it against Blake's chest for a few seconds, making her scream. "Let's try this again," I said. "What do you know about the White Fang?" I repeated. She looked at me with sadness in her eyes. "What happened to you?" she asked. I growled in frustration and struck her with the baton. "You were our friend!" she exclaimed. "Why are you hurting those you love?!" I smashed the baton into her knee and she cried out in pain. "Stop talking!" I yelled. Blake was now breathing hard, struggling for more words. "Wha-what about Yang?" she said. I stopped mid-swing of the baton. "What did you say?" I whispered. She caught her breath and continued. "Yang, your girlfriend," she said. The feeling that I was missing something returned. I grabbed her by the shoulders. "YOU DON"T KNOW WHO I AM!" I bellowed. "Maybe I don't," she replied, "But do you?" I backed up in shock. I growled and threw the baton away in frustration. "Neo, hand me another tool," I said. Neo handed me a a jerry can full of water and a cloth. I tipped over Blake's chair and put the cloth on her face. "Tell me about the White Fang!" I hissed. She refused to speak, so I uncapped the jerry can and let water run onto her face. After a few moments, I pulled the jerry can back, stopping the flow of water and pulled the cloth off of Blake's face. She sputtered and gasped for air. "Ryan, stop this!" she pleaded, "We can help you!" I raised the chair back up. "Who's 'we'?" I demanded. She spat out some more water and continued. "Your friends back at Beacon. Your team and my team!" she exclaimed. Neo tapped me on the shoulder and pointed at her wrist. "Times up," I thought. "We will continue this tomorrow," I said. "Ryan, wait!" she pleaded. I shut the warehouse doors behind me and left for the ship. "Everything all right sir?" one of the soldiers asked. I remained silent and motioned for him to take us back to camp. As we flew away, I couldn't help but feel a need to go back to talk to Blake once again. "Maybe she can tell me about my past," I thought. I looked back in the direction of the warehouse. "I look forward to our next meeting," I thought.
