Prototype in Vale

Vol. 2 part 2

The T-750 sat in the library with the rest of team RWBY playing some role-playing game that involving grim, the kingdoms, cards, and so forth. Weiss looked at her hand, worried, while Yang had a confident smirk on her face. Blake wasn't even looking at her cards while Ruby stared at hers excitedly and whispered, "Alright..." Repeatedly. The terminator simply sat there and groped the air slightly with its right hand to check and make sure the hydraulics were in working order.

"Yang Xiao Long! Prepare your kingdom for battle!!" Ruby suddenly shouted, drawing the machine's attention.

"Bring it on!" Yang replied, pumping her fist slightly.

"I deploy, The Atlesian Air Fleet!" Ruby exclaimed as she stood up and slammed the titular card down on the table.

Yang gasped, "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!" Ruby continued before she began to make noises reminiscent of an airplane.

Yang Gasped again, "YOU FIEND!" She exclaimed.

"And since Atlas is part of the mantle, my repair time only lasts one turn," Ruby said, peering up from the table with a smirk.

Yang began to snicker at her younger sister, "Pretty sneaky sis," Yang said as she held up a card.

"But you just activated my trap card!" Yang exclaimed as she spun the card around.

"Whaaaaaaa?!" Ruby said, horrified.

"Giant Nevermore! If I roll a seven or higher feathers, will cut your fleet in two!" Yang said, slamming her fist on the table.

"But if you roll a six or lower your Nevermore turns on your own forces!" Ruby retorted.

"That's just a chance I'm willing to take!" Yang said as she rolled a dice which landed on a three and a four.

"Nooooo, My fearless soldiers!" Ruby shouted.

The terminator soon stopped paying attention as it went back to inspecting its joints; this soon drew Ruby and Yang's attention. "Hey 750, you haven't done anything except that," Yang commented.

The terminator stopped what it was doing and looked at her "I do not feel obligated to," It replied coldly. There was a moment of bickering between the Ruby and Yang, which ended with Ruby laying her head on the table in defeat.

"Well, Weiss, it's your turn!" Yang said excitedly.

"I have.... absolutely no idea what the hell is happening," Weiss replied.

"Look, it's easy!" Yang said as she snaked an arm around Weiss' shoulder, trying to get a look at her cards.

Yang began to explain the game and what Weiss could do with her cards and the one Ruby, who was crying cutely, just lost before the terminator tuned them out entirely.

Suddenly Weiss stood up and began to give a speech about War before Yang whipped out another trap card, causing Weiss to stop mid-sentence, and Yang's card destroyed Weiss' army right off the bat. Weiss sunk sadly back into her chair as tears similar to Ruby fell from her eyes.

"I hate this game of emotions we play," Weiss said before Ruby suddenly leaped into her lap.

"Stay strong, Weiss, We'll make it through this together," Ruby said before resting her head on Weiss' shoulder.
