Enemies

Ohh! It's so exciting! Ruby says. Ember follows ruby and the rest of the team through vale as they take a day off before the people for the festival get there ...are you excited? Weiss asks ember. Hum? Yeah Ember says she's looking at a bookstore a strange look in her eye. Two teenagers are leaving it ..Ember? Embers hand goes into a fist. So those are Cinders little minions Ember! Ruby says putting a hand on Embers shoulder. Ember breathes out and her eyes stop glowing faintly. What's wrong? Blake asks. Ember turns and goes down another street suddenly and the others follow her. Ember wha- shhh! Ember leans against the wall ..ember! Do you know those guys? I ..I think I saw them once maybe it's hard to remember ember closes her eyes and then she says they're gone. Come on. Ember what are - Ember goes into the bookstore named Tucson's book store every book under the sun. Ember ...Blake says. Ember slowly goes to the back and she sees him his eyes open wide. Oh my gosh! Blake says. Did they do this?! Blake says. Ember bends down to the puma fanus and he takes a shuddering breath. Ember...y...you cam..e...I'm sorry Tucson if I had known- it's...not...yourrr...fault...it's not...—- ember turns to the others can you...leave us alone for a moment? Come on guys we'll watch the front Blake says. But- come on Weiss Blake says. Ember watches them leave and ember transforms. Oh...you...ember drops a tear on his injury. Ahh...she changes back. You...I'm healed he says softly. You can't stay here. I...I know. He says. The others come back in after they see a flash and Blake says wha- ember is helping Tucson up to his feet. How...maybe I'll tell you later ember hisses. Ember pulls out a piece of paper. Now listen to me you need to get to a safe house ...but now right away ...ember writes a coded message on the paper and she pulls a feather from her pocket. Bring this to the bonehead in in two days time is that is that a pheniox feather Blake asks ...ask for lupin ember says continuing he'll know what to do. Thank you ember of course. Ember says. Tucson puts a hand on embers shoulder. Wait are you going to the school? Wow! He chuckles I always knew you could. Ember smiles and says maybe I'll see you again I'll count on that he says as Ember and the others leave the side way. What was that? Blake says. A pheniox? Where did you find one of those? It's..it's just a calling card ember says as they go closer to the docks. Get back here! Someone calls as a monkey fanus avoids the cops. You no good stowaway! I'm a good stowaway! A no good one would get caught! He says. He swings by us and winks at Blake and her cheeks redden. Uhh! Weiss says as she goes after him. Miscreant criminals! Degenerate animals! That's uncalled for! Ember says as they stop. What! Weiss says what do you a criminal yourself know about the fanus? I know that they're all not like what you may think. And the ones that are have a bad leader Ember says. What!! Are you a fanus? What? Ember says. Weiss suddenly touches embers head and feels- hey! Ember backs up. Weiss stop it! Blake says. Ember fixes her hair as Weiss and Blake continue to fight. They continue as we walk along the street and then we go back to the dorm and they keep fighting. Ember looks up when Blake runs out of the room. Blake! Ember cries. Blake looks at ember for a moment before running off. Ember puts her face in her knees. Blake is a big girl ruby ember hears well go and look for her in the morning...in the morning the four of them continue to look for Blake. Blake! Blake! BLAKE! Ruby calls. Why aren't you yelling? Ruby says. Ember's eyes go from the roofs to ruby. I'm looking ember says. Don't worry she'll come back. Oh what are we going to do? Ruby says maybe we can call the police! Weiss says. No Weiss. Ruby says. Why because - they've got enough to worry about ember says looking at a storefront. She sighs shaking her head. I don't get it one of them says yeah I think we don't get paid enough for this. Ember turns her head and they keep walking. Ah! Ember says. She looks down and sees a girl with red hair oh! I'm sorry ember bends down and holds her hand out. Here take my hand. Thanks! The girl says taking it and jumping into the air. Ember steps back. Okay...I'm ember what's your name? Penny! She says. Very nice to meet you...she says. I'm ruby Weiss yang...very nice to meet you! Penny says again. You've said that Weiss says. So..I did. Well sorry for running into you penny ember says. Take care friend ruby says. They keep walking and yang says that was ...weird. Maybe we can find that Faunus rifraf- what did you call me? Ember sees that penny is pointing into the group sorry I didn't think- not you you! Me? Ruby says. I don't know - you called me friend! Are you really my friend? She says. The others shake their heads frantically and I shrug. Uhh yes sure why not? The others fall down dramatically and then yang says so why are you in vale? I'm here to fight in the tournament! Forgive me but you hardly look the part Weiss says. I'm combat ready! Penny says. Says the girl in a dress - it's a combat skirt yeah! Ruby and Weiss high five. Well we'll see you later ember says waving they continue walking and ruby says we should split up. Really? Yang says. Ember and I will look that way ruby says. Near the school? You never know ember says. Alright. Come on Weiss. Ember shrugs and she walks in silence with ruby. You ok? Ember asks. Ember that man in the bookshop ...he was almost dead wasn't he? Ruby...and you just ...what happened please - ember pulls ruby around a corner ruby this is ...sensitive I can't ...certain individuals can't know of my abilities. Let's just keep looking. But you trust me right? Yes ruby Ember says. You were my first friend at the school...and we're cousins so yeah I trust you. Ember says smiling. They continue towards the school and ember sighs when she sees the giant robots cool! Ruby says. Ember shakes her head. What's wrong? I present to you the new and improved aliesian knights! Slowly it comes to Ember they're going to hack the robots Ember sighs and says come on ...you don't like them? No its not that ..Ember says as they continue walking then what is it? I was just imagining what would happen if someone hacked the system he shouldn't wave his weapons around like that for everyone to see. Why not?  What are you saying Ember? Ironwood is a general he's preparing for war eventhough the war has already started. Ohh..Ruby says what? That doesn't make sense. Doesn't it? Ember says Penny! Hello Ruby Rose Ember! Penny says. Penny starts walking along with us and Ruby says were looking for our friend Blake ..oh you mean the fanus girl? She wears a black..bow. Ember laughs. Come on Ruby ....we keep walking along and a truck comes out of nowhere and Penny pushes us out of the way and i turn and see her stop the truck with her bare hands. Are you ok? She asks the driver he nods she sets it down...um...Penny!  I grab Rubys hand and go after her. Penny..you hands...no! She says no! Penny its ok...Ember stands at the corner watching for the atlas guards. They go over to Ember and say have you seen a girl with red hair and a bow..oh yeah she went that way Ember says pointing in the opposite direction thanks! ember shakes her head and goes back to them.  But they don't see her and Penny is saying Ruby I'm not a real girl you are penny ....you may not have squishy guts you're not like those things out there you have a soul i can feel it. She's right Ember says. Those knights they're of one mind...you Penny have a mind of your own...I..I.. I can feel your aura penny its strong. wow...Penny says you really are my friends. Ember puts a hand on Penny's shoulder and friends have each-others back. Come on were going to find Blake. Ember says. They go out into the streets and keep looking....Ember sees an explosion in the distance. Let's go! Ruby says Ruby! Ehh! Ember says following them. Thankful she has her weapon back Ember follows them onto the roof. Ember hides out of sight as Ruby and Penny talk....Ruby do- Ruby falls backwards. Penny don't! Ruby says don't worry ruby IM COMBAT READY! Ember stands up as Penny flies forward into the fray. Ember looks at Ruby who is it? Its Roman Ruby says. I understand if- No. he'll give me answers Ember says Ember! Ember puts her hands out and she flies off the roof landing in a crouch. She goes forward and she pushes Roman up against a shipping container. Ember....he says ....what are you doing here? He asks nervously...oh you know I was around and we saw the explosion what are you doing? Boss is she bothering you? Ember....I...I thought you were done with dust...Eh....were not? He says. Ember rolls her eyes. She releases Roman and one of the white fang swipe at her head she turns and avoids it narrowly before saying just get out of here. Ember- GO! Ember says. Leave the dust and get out of here. Roman holds up a hand to the white fang members and he says you found out about Tucson he says. He goes to Ember I was trying to give him time Roman hisses and her goons took care of him he says. I know Ember says I saw them. Ohhhh Roman says his eyes going wide. He turns to the white fang members I'm bored let's leave he says he gets into the airship and the white fang goons look at him confused and he says come on the police are on their way. He nods subtly to  Ember before the airship takes off. Blake! Ruby calls going over to her. Ember searches the skies for another airship We've got incoming! Ember calls and another ship lands and Ember watches Cinder get out. Ember..stay back Ruby....White fang flank Ember on all sides and then theres a bright flash and Ember and Cinder disappear. EMBER! Ruby says looking around for her. Ruby! Yang runs over to her sister as the White fang scatter. Ruby wheres Ember? I....I don't know. She...she got Torchwick to leave Ruby says and - a car pulls up and general ironwood comes out of the car. Who's that? Hello he says where is your friend Ember he says. She...shes gone Ruby says what do you mean?
