Yang watched Adam sitting quietly, cleaning his wound with the help of another White Fang member. She slowly stepped forward until she was right in front of them.
"You're the boss." The blonde stated, raising up her acquired weapon. "You had the bombs go off before."
Adam looked up, smiling still in his mask. "And what are you going to do, shoot me?"
"I lost my arm because of you."
"I think it looks rather nice." He commented, turning to the woman next to him, frozen in worry and fear. "You can leave, Ilia. I'll deal with her."
"No." Yang growled, pushing the gun closer to them. "You're both staying here."
Adam frowned for a split second before the automatic was sliced in half, the sword in his hand.
"You're too confident in yourself." He spat, standing onto his feet. "You're weak, and useless, and pathetic."
The woman, Ilia, watched in fear for a moment before looking to Adam.
"Go ahead." He replied to the silent plea, the bronze woman running out of sight.
Yang stepped backwards until she stumbled into a table with campaign signs on it.
"Really..?"
The blonde held up one of the empty sign posts, facing it in a defensive stance towards the man with the sword.
"You're going to fight me with a chunk of wood?" He asked, somewhere between confusion and amazement. "You're crazy."
"Says the guy swinging around a katana." Yang said, trying to keep calm.
Adam shook his head slowly, a gentle smile crossing his lips. "You poor fool... You're gonna die here."

"We're never gonna find her..." Blake quietly whispered, her recently found love and joy fading away as~
Neo slapped her across the face, pushing a small notebook against the raven haired girl's chest. Blake blinked, hesitating for a second before she finally looked at the notebook.
STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
You have the most beautiful woman in the world all over you, fawning over you, willing to give everything for you, AND YOURE GIVING UP?!
YOURE A STUPID GIRL AND I DONT KNOW WHAT YANG SEES IN YOU! What I DO know is that she would NEVER give up until you were found. She'd fight through Hell to get you back, YOU IDIOT!
Blake took a moment to process before taking in a deep breath. "You're right."
Neo rolled her eyes as if that was obvious, taking the taller girl and dragging her along to search for the blonde in question.
The two of them continued through the eerily quiet landscape of the large event center.
———
"You see absolutely anything, you tell me first." Qrow commanded, carefully walking forward, step by step.
Captain Khan narrowed her eyes at the man. "Like Hell. You don't give orders around here, remember?"
The man muttered some remark as they continued walking. The whole group was staying quiet and carefully looking around with weapons raised.
A girl ran out into the open, raising her hands in surrender as soon as she saw the officers.
"Don't shoot! My name is Ilia Amitola, VPD!"
———
"Weak!"
Yang felt some of her ribs crack from the kick to her torso.
"Pathetic!"
Ankle is at the very least sprained.
"USELESS!!"
The feeling of a sword hilt slamming into her head threw her to the ground, the world going blurry.
"I hate your kind." Adam growled. "The people that need to get involved in everything. It wasn't enough that I took your arm, you want me to take your life."
"You can try..." She croaked, throat sore from being hit earlier. "But I'm not going down easily..."
He chuckled cruelly. "You're barely standing. Do you really think you're a threat? That's the best joke I've heard all day."
The blonde raised a brow. "You like jokes? Ever heard the one about the cat that killed the running bull?"
Adam stood in confusion for a moment, but a moment too long still, a woman in black tackling him to the ground.
"What the fuck!!" He growled, backhanding her and standing up. "You fucking whore!!"
The red haired man raised his sword up to stoke her, screaming in pain as a wooden pike forced its way through his side.
Neo pushes the sign stake in as far as she could before running to help Yang up and dragging her out of harms way.
"No, we have to get Blake!"
Neo shook her head, practically carrying Yang out of the battle zone.
"She needs me!" The blonde cried, barely enough energy to try fighting against Neo.
———
Adam pulled the sign stake out of his side, growling as he glared down towards Blake.
"I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill your friends. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it." He spat. "But first, I'm going to make this hurt."
Blake felt a burning pain, the man's blade piercing her gut.
"No!!"
Adam turned, three VPD officers tackling him to the ground, but even then struggling to control him.
"Get on the ground." Captain Khan growled lowly, holding her gun towards him. "You're under arrest."
Qrow ran up to Blake, holding pressure against her belly wound. "Hey, stay with us kid. Paramedics are gonna be over here any minute, you'll be fine."
"Y-Yang..."
"Don't worry, I'll get her for you. She's probably already on her way to the hospital at this point." The man assured. "You'll both be fine."
Blake struggled to keep her eyes open, everything going dark around her until consciousness quietly left her.

Fanfic"I don't like ice cream." Neo fell to her knees in shock. "It's just not appealing to me, I prefer tuna." Blake said. "Tuna isn't a dessert." Yang reminded her. The black haired girl smirked back. "I was just going to have you for dessert." --- Mone...
