RWBY: Malefic Rising

Chapter Two: DawnBreaker

The sun shone through the curtain... and onto Weiss' face. Weiss was not amused. Why does it always have to do this?! Angrily she looked over at the clock, 7:23 am. What a magnificent waste of sleep. She got up to move it back in place when she heard the morning breeze blowing in. Why is the window open? She pushed aside the curtains and shut it quietly. There, now I can go back to sleep. She looked up to the occupant of the bunk above her, or she would have if Ruby had actually been there. A hushed sigh escaped Weiss. She groggily crawled back into her bed and closed her eyes. She was asleep once again. Bang!
"What the heck?!" Weiss jumped out of the bed and threw out the curtain. A red and black body was hanging from the window frame her face pressed against the glass.
"Ruby!" Weiss practically shouted as she opened the window and helped her friend inside. The bunk right of the two shuddered and the great Yang Xiao Long rose from her slumber.
"What is going on?" she looked up at Ruby. "That's normal..."
Smack! "ow ow"
"Ruby hold still" Weiss ordered. Ruby did as she was told and was finally set free of the window. It closed on its own.
"What were you even doing out there?" Weiss demanded as she crossed her arms.
"I was uh... nothing..."
"Never mind I'm going back to sleep." Weiss angrily threw herself onto the bed not even bothering with the covers. Yang gave Ruby a strange look. Ruby shrugged. She climbed into her bed and smiled to herself happily. Yang was already out again. Her secret was safe. She closed her eyes and dreamt of the hilarious calamity that was soon to come.
The alarm went off. Everyone was awakened by its cruel screams. Blake was already showered and was enjoying herself a good fiction. The rest proceeded to their usual schedule, soon they all had their uniforms and were ready for classes. They passed with little peaking interest or importance.
"It's finally over!" Ruby cried as team RWBY exited the lecture hall. Blake stretched her arms and yawned. Yang played with her hair. Weiss was already nowhere to be seen. Yang was the first to speak.
"Where did Weiss hurry off to?" Yang asked with a tone of suspicion. Suddenly Juan appeared.
"Why hello ladies." Jaune smiled, " So, what brings you here today?" Yang and Ruby exchanged looks and turned back to Jaune.
Ruby spoke, "Um, we have... class? Yes we jus-"
"Is that so? Well, actually I was hoping you could tell me where Weiss is."
Yang replied, "Oh, well actually we were wondering that ourselves. So..."
Jaune slumped down.
"I see, I-I'll find her later. Thanks for the help." Jaune said and walked away.
"Well I'm off, I need to do more research on Torchwick, and how he was somehow able to get the White Fang to follow him. If you need me I'll be in the library." Blake announced.
"Okay!" said Yang and Ruby together. They waved to Blake and then began walking back to their dorm room.
"So what exactly were you doing this morning? It's a little strange for you to be sneaking out." Yang crossed her arms and tilted her head at Ruby.
Crap, She's onto me! What do I do? What do I do? Ruby looked around nervously at the ground as though the answer to her conundrum would be there.
"It's a boy isn't it?" a leering smile spread across her face.
"What! Ew gross."
Yang giggled, "I'm just kidding Sis", she said as she rubbed her hand on Ruby's head. "I don't have to know. I trust you to make your own choices."
Ruby sighed in relief. "Thanks" she said with a small smile. Oh my sister is so cool!
They reached their dorm shortly afterwards opening its door to find that Weiss was already inside. She didn't even notice them walk in as she studied the contents on her scroll intensely. Ruby plunked herself on top of their bunk bed and rested. Yang toyed with Ember Celica.
Silence.
"Those idiots!" Weiss shouted in rage. Ruby and yang both jumped up in surprise. Ruby spoke, "Weiss what's wrong?"
"How could they have let this happen?" Weiss slammed her fist on the bed.
Yang tilted her head.
"What happened?"
Sigh, "Five years ago my father had been asked by the government to create a new more powerful form of dust, one that could be considered quite illegal today. Over years of experimenting and many often disastrous attempts at trying to create the perfect concoction a new form of dust, "Final Breath", was created. This weapon, although a highly volatile substance in its rawest form contrary to other dust, is meant to create a vacuum around your opponents effectively suffocating them with their last breath. Eventually, the company was told to scrap the project and create an android to compete against the Atlesian Knight-130. Final Breath was forgotten, stored away in a secret place never to be seen again. Somehow the White Fang learned of its existence and Final Breath was stolen late last night."

Ruby climbed off the bed. A look of determination struck her eyes, "We'll get it back."
Weiss looked up, "They could win..."
Yang spoke, "Weiss we can-"
"They could end us!" Weiss screamed
Ruby put her Hand on Weiss's. She knelt beside her practically crying friend.
"We WILL stop them Weiss." She looked up to Weiss's face. "Together we can bring it back."
