BBPersona RWBY: Volume One

Chapter 20: Black and White Part 2 - Double Ambush

5/29 Vale Evening

Night fell upon Vale. At the docks, Blake, Makoto, Saya, Tsubaki, and Shirogane staked out on top of the rooftop nearby. Waiting for any White Fang activity to appear as Schnee Dust Company cargo were in the vicinity. "Did we miss anything?" Chie asked as she, Kagura, Lambda, Yukiko, and Sun arrived bringing snacks for their stakeout, "Not really. They've offloaded all the crates from the boats and now they're just sitting there." Blake replied, "The crates from the Kirijo Group were unloaded as well, but so far, there has been no unusual activities so far." Makoto added, "Nothing yet, huh?" Chie and Lambda both sighed. While they continued to wait, Yukiko offered snacks they bought. "Oh, that's right! We've bought snacks to keep us satisfied. Interested?" She asked, "Oh yeah, I also stole some food for you girls." Sun included offering apples, although, the group were amused with sweat-drops, "Do you always break the law without a second thought?" Blake questioned, "Hey, weren't you in a cult?" Sun Questioned back as Blake frowned in response. "Okay, too soon..." Sun stuttered, "You're both terrible..." Tsubaki stated, "Oh, come to think of it, where's Junpei?" Kagura wondered, "I think he said he something to take care of. Not sure what though." Saya answere. While they waited, an airship appeared flying over them as their turbines blew the gusts onto the Hunters as the airship lands in a clearing in the harbor. They took a look at the soldiers coming out of the airship, realizing the truth before them. "Oh no..." Blake stuttered, "No... Way..." Kagura, Lambda, Saya, and Makoto reply in shock, "A symbol of a red-colored wolf head with claw markings. It's them isn't it?" Shirogane described as they observed the situation. They brought out tow cables, planning to steal the cargo. "You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun asked, "No. I think deep down I knew, I just didn't want to be right." Blake replied in a pained expression, "Blake-Kun..." Chie muttered, feeling worried for her. But just then, another voice echoed out from the airship. A familiar person from the news came out. "Hey! What's the hold up!?" Torchwick questioned stepping off the airship. "We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so... Why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?" He asked irritated. Back with Kagura, Sun and the girls, they wondered why someone like him was accompanying the White Fang. "Wait... It's that guy from the news. What's someone like him doing with the White Fang?" Saya and Tsubaki both asked annoyed, "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially not one like that." Blake stated as she readied Gambol Shroud and descent to ground level, "Hey, what are you doing!?" Sun question as she left, "Ugh, we can't wait for whatever Junpei-Kun's doing. We have to help her!" Chie stated as they agreed. Blake stealthily snuck into the area in order to find Torchwich scolding a soldier. "No you idiot, that isn't a leash!" He exclaimed. But while he continue to rant, Blake snuck up from behind held hostage with her blade to the neck. "What the- oh for the love of-...", "Nobody move!" Blake stated to the White Fang as they drew their weapons upon them, "Whoa, take it easy there, little lady." Torchwich replied with sarcasm. As the White Fang approached the Huntress, Blake took her bow off to reveal her Faunus trait. "Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?" She questioned them, although, a little to no avail did they reply, "Heh, Oh kid. Didn't you get the memo?" Torchwick chuckled. "The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together." He explained, "Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation." Blake threatened as she pressed her blade deeper. But before she was able to press for more information, and turbine engines over head roar louder as a airship flew above them. "I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation." Torchwick replied as they both look up. A couple more airships arrived and they began to face the Huntress and the con man. But as Blake was distracted by the numbers, Roman took the advantage and shot an explosive bolt under Blake, forcing her out of her hold on Torchwick. A sound of an explosion echoed through the city, which caught the attention of several groups nearby as smoke risen from the harbor. As Blake staggered to recover after the blast, Torchwick pointed his cane at her, but Konohana Sakuya deflecting the bolt away and tossed an Agi back at him, flames and bolts at each other. "Blake-San, this way!" Yukiko called out to her friend silently. While she had her Persona distract the criminal, Blake soon took the advantage to regroup. Soon after, the Persona withdrew as the the distraction payed off, eluding Torchwick for now. "Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." Torchwick uttered as he was about to turn to the corner. But then a banana peel landed on his cap. Just when he took it off in disgust, he looked up only to notice Sun in the air, but then Chie came in and gave Torchwick a round-house kick to the stomach, followed by Makoto giving him a punch to the back, with Saya's stomp on top of him rolling away after while Chie back-flipped to her side. "Leave them alone." Sun demanded sternly as Chie readied herself with her gear and Tsubaki, Saya and Makoto went to their fighting stand, "You brats are not the brightest banana of the bunch, aren't ya?" Torchwick groaned as he flicked his fingers soon, more White Fang soldiers appeared from the airships and began to surround the two hunters. They all attacked the two as they resisted, using martial arts upon them, following up with using their weapons as Sun's weapon formed a bow staff striking away with acrobatic moves as Chie did the same with Haraedo-no-Okami and Makoto did some power up punches, while both Kagura and Saya summon some dark energy balls and Tsubaki shout out feather like bullets. While they dealt with the mob of soldiers, Yukiko, Shirogane, and Blake appeared into the area again, blasting away at nearby soldiers as they see Chie , Makoto, and Sun dealing damage to the high number of soldiers, reducing them down to Torchwick, presently. "More of them are coming. Can you help them?" Shirogane suggested as Blake immediately did without saying a thing. Shirogane continued to press fire on the soldiers with rifles. The irritated Torchwick returned fire at them while Chie back-stepped as Makoto covered them from the blast with her barrier she summon. "He's mine!" Blake stated as she charged forth at Torchwick. With multiple sword swings and strikes with Gambol Shroud, Blake pressed her assault on the criminal, but Torchwick effortlessly blocked her attacks with counters, parries and such. Although he gain the advantage, Makoto punched him and sanded him towards Sun as he stepped in and configured his bow staff into a pair nunchakus that took form of two lever-action shotguns tied together. Sun attack movement were at his finest as he stuck Torchwick with his weapons, by blunts strikes and shotgun blasts that pushed him back. Despite his miraculous evasion with his cane weapon, Torchwick back stepped away from Sun and shot a bolt at Sun as he tried to recover, however, Yukiko deflected it once more with her weapon, Sumeo-Okami, this time. She then tossed Miragi's at Torchwich from the distance as he tried to shoot the fireballs down, but Yukiko increased the numbers, enough to push him back farther, followed by Chie striking him by surprise with a wined-up round-house, enough to send him flying back. Just as Torchwick got back up, he spots a raised cargo above the five hunters and blasted the coupling that held it, making it fall onto them, yet Kagura and Saya addressed to them the warning. "Everyone, above you!" They alerted. The four manage to catch wind and jumped out of the way. although they had to split between the wreckage with Yukiko and Blake on one end and Sun and Chie in another. Just as Sun and Chie began to stand up, Torchwick pointed his can gun at Sun, while Chie got the hint and frozed. "Oh no, Sun-Kun!" Yukiko exclaimed as he was at gunpoint from Torchwick. Shirogane gritted her teeth as more White Fang surround the area, trapping the young hunters, "End of the line for all of you!" Torchwick stated as pulled the trigger. However, another gunshot rung out and veered Torchwick's weapon, preventing Sun's death. "Ugh, what now!?" He asked annoyed. The thug and the White Fang turned to their flanks to spot a huge group clad in black. Among the group in black "Hey!" Ruby shouted as she drew Crescent Rose with Yu wielding Raijin, along with Ragna drawing Blood Scythe, Hazama with his butterfly knifes, and Teddie in his unusual combat stance. "Oh, hello Red, White-head, and Grey-head! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Torchwick asked in sarcasm. As the soldiers behind the hunters poured into the harbor, Penny walked up from behind. "Ragna, Ruby, Teddie and Hazama, are these your friends?" She asked, "Penny, get back!" Ruby told her. Torchwick caught the moment of chance, pointing his cane-gun and firing at the suspecting huntress. "Tch! Ruby!/Ruby-Chan!" Yu, Hazama, Ragna exclaimed as they covered them, although, Alvin stepped in and slice the bolt with his huge sword, splitting the blast in both ways, "Enough of your bullshit, Roman! We have you and the White Fang surrounded!" The pink hair cat faunas know as Kokonoe told him as she came out into view and standed next to Alvin, "Ugh, Now what? And who are they!?" Torchwick demanded questions, "Dammit, it's the Black Fang!" One of the soldier stated in surprise, "Black Fang...? What!?" The thug stuttered as the Black Fang surrounded them. "So, you're the infamous Roman Torchwick?" Alvin wondered as he held his sword on his back. "Me and Proffer Kokonoe never expect a human, in general, working with terrorists." He stated as Kokonoe agreed with him as she folded her arms, "Hmph, you say that when you're leading a bunch of savages? How can you even tame these animals?" Roman asked him with a smug expression. "One thing's for sure, obviously, you don't treat your subordinates like one!" Kokonoe stated as she drew her huge guns. "These guys are after our client's cargo, take them down!" Alvin commanded his troops. The Black Fang roar loudly to intimate the White Fang soldiers and commenced their attack. "Go see to your friends, you guys." He told Hazama, Ragna, Yu, and Ruby. After Alvin told them what to do, he joined his Black Fang subordinates along with Kokonoe, in mopping up the White Fang soldier, leaving Ruby with astonishment. "That's the Black Fang, they're very honest." Yu mentioned, "Yeah... We know." Hazama and Ragna said both with a sad smile, "Let's help out too." Ragna said, "Right!" Everyone else agreed.
