RWBY: Faith Restored (Book 1)

The Breach

Blurred eyes opened to see smoke and rubble. Ringing ears could barely make out the sounds of screams and the alarm. Ruby coughed as she weakly stood up only to fall on her butt and see Weiss up against a broken piece of wall. The cloth fell off Ruby's face and revealed the scarred eye as she crawled over to Weiss. She grunted as her knees were grazed against broken concrete and gravel. She hissed in pain and reached out for Weiss's hand and called out to her weakly "W-Weiss..." Weiss opened her eyes and blinked rapidly to rid the dust and sudden light. She felt her hand feel pressure so she looked to see Ruby crawling towards her.

For the first time, Weiss could see the injury sustained on her leader and gasped lightly. Her beautiful silver eye, lost all light in it and a jagged line. She said weakly "R-Ruby..." She closed her hand around Ruby's and tried to stand but felt too weak to do anything.

Yang gasped for air as the sun shined on her. The light stung her eyes as she tried adjusting to it. She moaned in pain as her head was throbbing in pain and she looked around "Blake? Blake!?" Some rubble moved to reveal Blake staying to stand up only to fall again and looked in Yang's direction. "Yang? Thank Oum." Yang slightly smiled and tried getting up only to fall on her face. She screamed out in pain and turned herself around to see her right leg mangled with several pieces of concrete and rock stabbed into her calf, onto the bone and blood everywhere. She moaned out "Oh motherfucker... Just fucking great."

Blake got back up again and limped slowly towards Yang and gasped as she saw her partner's leg and spoke "Yang... Your leg!" Yang looked up to see Blake kneel down and cradle her head then move her to where she could sit up right. Yang winced in pain then joked "'tis but a scratch." Blake couldn't help but roll her eyes at the attempt to joke about the condition of her leg. "I'm so sorry Yang... I'm responsible for this..." Yang interrupted her faunus partner and said "No. None of that Blake. You were right to be suspicious. Just focus on getting us out of this and after that... I'm taking you to that seafood place by Monty Street." Yang couldn't see it but Blake perked up to the thought of going to Griff Fish, especially with her partner.

She wrapped her elbows around Yang's arms and started picking her up, despite Yang being more heavy due toner strength, Blake managed to drag Yang out of the rubble and saw Ruby lean on Weiss's shoulder so she slowly made her way towards the other half of her team. "Ruby! Weiss!" Blake called out which caused Ruby to open her eye and look to see Blake carrying/drag her older sister out towards them. "Yang!" She stood up and limped over towards them and gasped when she saw the state of Yang's leg. "Yang! Your leg!"

Yang rolled her eyes "Yeah yeah... I ain't dying sis." Yang reached over and started pulling some of the sharp concrete shards out. Albeit causing some blood to leak out and sudden jolts of pain to happen. Soon she stood up, though she was soon on one knee because she still couldn't walk. "Yang, you shouldn't be walking!" Ruby said and Yang looked at her younger sister and saw how fatal the wound on her eye was. The blood dried up around her wound with several cracks due to her facial movement. Yang limped gently and hugged her sister tightly but gently. "Ruby... I'm so sorry they did this to you." Ruby looked at her big sister and answered "It's not your fault. Right now we need to focus on the... Damage."

Ruby slowed down her words at how many Grimm were there. Yang and the rest looked at the amount of Grimm seen and Yang deadpanned "You've gotta be fucking kidding me..." Weiss stood up and held her rapier while Blake pulled out Gambol Shroud. Blake took a quick look at Yang and asked "Shouldn't you sit this one out, Yang? You're bleeding." Yang cracked her knuckles and activated Ember Celica while answering her partner's question. "I ain't got time to bleed."
