Prototype in Vale

Part 5

Yang, Weiss, Ruby and 750 all set out the next day to go look for Blake "Hey, I know this is pretty random but wasn't that tournament supposed to be yesterday?" Ruby asked. "It got cancelled because of all of the police from that store that got robbed." Yang replied. "Can you two please focus on the task at hand?! We need to find Blake!" Weiss shouted. The terminator stayed silent as it looked around, "You're right!" Ruby said. Yang nodded "Blaaake?!" Ruby shouted catching most of the group off guard. Yang yelled out in a similar manner as the four of them walked down the sidewalk "You guys aren't helping!" Ruby said looking back at the terminator and Weiss. "The police might be able to help!" Weiss said crossing her arms. "Ugh. Weiss..." Ruby said gritting her teeth.

"Negative, police wouldn't care in the slightest if we asked them for help." The terminator said. "You mean like you?" Weiss asked. "Okay Weiss, that was just uncalled for." Ruby said. "Forget it, it was just an idea!" Weiss said defensively. "Yeah, a bad one." Ruby said as she and the others continued to walk down the road. "And Weiss, I feel we should hear her side of the story before jumping to any conclusions." Yang said. "And I think when you hear it, you'll all realize I'm right." Weiss replied. "And I think Weiss' hair looks amazing today!" Penny said appearing from out of nowhere as usual. The girls all let out a startled yelp as they spun around "AHH! Penny!! Where the hell did you come from!?" Ruby shouted. "Hey guys. What's up?" Penny asked.

Ruby glanced around awkwardly "We're looking for our friend Blake." Yang said. "Oh the faunus girl?" Penny asked. The terminator turned around "Affirmative." It replied. The other girls remained silent for a few seconds "How'd you know she was a faunus?" Yang asked. "The cat ears. What? You didn't notice those?" Penny asked. "Cat ears? She wears a.... bow..." Yang said as she realized why Blake always wore that bow. Everyone fell silent again for about a minute "She does really like tuna." Ruby whispered. "So, where is she?" Penny asked. "No idea, she's been gone since yesterday." Ruby explained. Penny gasped "That's awful! Well don't worry Ruby, my friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate." Penny said once again getting uncomfortably close to Ruby. "Uh, thanks Penny, but we- we're okay, Right guys?" Ruby asked glancing over expecting to see the other three but she saw nobody.

Yang had brought Weiss and 750 into a dinner not far from where Ruby and Penny were standing, where they could hopefully find information about Blake or if anyone has seen her anyway. Yang inquired about this to the person at the front desk but the one there said they hadn't seen anyone. And so did pretty much everyone else in the diner "Well, we're not going to find any information here." Weiss said. "You're right we should head out." Yang replied. The three of them proceeded out of the building "Thanks anyways!" Yang said as the door closed behind them. "This is completely hopeless!" Weiss said scoffing. "You really don't care if we find her do you?" Yang said with her hands on her hips. "Of course I care, Yang. I'm just worried what she'll say when we find her. The innocent never run." Weiss said.

They all continued to search through out the town for several hours, long after it got dark out "It's late, think we should head back to Beacon?" Weiss asked. "No, as long as Blake is out here we're gonna keep looking." Yang replied. "Affirmative." The terminator said. Suddenly everyone heard a loud explosion from somewhere behind them, they all snapped their heads back and saw a huge cloud of black smoke rising from somewhere beyond the houses "That was the docks!" Yang said. All of them took off running toward the explosion moments later.

Several more explosions went off before any of them got to the docks where they saw Blake, That monkey faunus (Sun), Roman Torchwick, and several members of the white fang all battling it out on a ship filled with massive metal shipping containers, all of which had the Schnee logo printed on them. Roman shot an explosive above Blake and Sun but they both dove out of the way, however Sun landed right in front of Roman as he aimed his cane/gun at him "HEY!" Ruby shouted from on top of one of the containers. "Oh, hello Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman asked. The terminator, Weiss, and Yang all showed up seconds later just in time to see Roman shoot a flare at Ruby which sent her flying back. "RUBY!!" Yang shouted. A total of four White Fang members soon surrounded the three of them seconds later.

Seconds later they all saw Penny walk to the edge of the container Ruby was standing on "Penny! Stop!" Ruby shouted. Penny said something to Ruby that nobody other than Ruby really heard then a set of what looked like swords flew out of her back. She jumped off of the container with the swords floating around her and sent two of them flying at a couple members of the White Fang. Her blades cut their legs knocking them over and as two more members ran at Penny she motioned with her hand and the swords sliced one of them across the chest. She delivered a kick to the face of another one sending him flying. And as another ten approached her Penny formed her swords into a disk which she threw at them which knocked them all over. "Woah!" Sun shouted.

While everyone else looked stunned and confused at what they were seeing the terminator ran forward and kicked one of the White Fang members who was wielding a shotgun in the knee, braking most of the bones in his leg instantly, the man cried out in pain and the terminator grabbed his gun. Everyone snapped back to reality and Blake punched one of the White Fang members in the chest and her gauntlet fired a shot as she did, wounding the man but not killing him. Weiss used the red dust setting on her sword to light another on fire instantly and then she kicked him into one of the crates. The last member of the White Fang who was surrounding them looked terrified as Weiss, Yang, and the Terminator glared at him. Instead of firing his weapon (A gun with dust bullets) he dropped his weapon and ran away.

Penny seemed to have most of the situation handled as when three fighter planes flew in and began firing at her with gatling guns she formed her swords into a disk again and spun said disk to block the bullets while everyone stood in stunned silence. Two more swords extended from Penny's back and stuck themselves into a wall, using a clear string that seemed to be attached to the swords she pulled herself away and fired some kind of giant green laser at two of the fighter planes cutting them in half. As the last plane tried to make off with a container of dust Penny launched her swords which stabbed into the side of the plane and she pulled the plane back with ease, while the engines strained in an attempt to get away. Seconds later she pulled the plane down and caused it to crash into the ocean, taking that container of dust with it. "These kids keep getting weirder, and weirder." Roman said as he ran onto the plane that took him and the White Fang here to begin with. That plane was the only one to get away. Police arrived at the scene only a few minutes later, Blake put her bow back on to hide her ears while Ruby and Penny sat on some crates across from Blake and Sun.

When Ruby saw Weiss, Yang and the terminator coming closer to them she stood up quickly "Look Weiss, it's not what you think she explained the whole thing. Ya see she wears the bow because she has kitty ears and their actually kinda cute." Ruby said very quickly. But Weiss walked right passed her, Weiss looked at Blake with a solemn expression "Weiss, I want you to know I don't work with the White Fang any more. Back when I-" Blake started. "Stop." Weiss said cutting her off. "Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you?" Weiss asked. Blake didn't reply "Twelve hours." The terminator said. "Yes, that means I've had twelve hours to think this over. And in those twelve hours I've decided..." Weiss stopped midsentence for no real reason. "I don't care!" Weiss said catching almost everyone off guard.

"You don't care?" Blake asked more than a little shocked. "You're not one of them any more right?" Weiss asked. "No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-" Blake started. "Upupupupup! I don't wanna hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something like this comes up you go to your teammates, and not some..." Weiss stopped again and glanced at Sun. "Someone else." Weiss finished. Blake wiped a small tear from her eye "Of course." Blake said. Everyone stayed silent for a few seconds "Yeah! Team RWBY7 is back together!" Ruby cheered. Weiss looked over at Sun "I'm still not sure how I feel about you!" She said shaking her finger in his face. Sun laughed nervously "Hey, where's Penny?" Ruby asked. "Not here, so let's just get back to Beacon." The Terminator said. "But what if she's-" Ruby started. "Considering what we just saw her do, I'd say she's more than capable of defending herself." Yang said. Everyone nodded and they all turned and started walking back toward Beacon.
