Chapter Twenty: Ascension

Start from the beginning
                                    

I stood up to face him in full armor.

Austin: You back away!

We stared for a while.

Ironwood: The sad truth is, whether it was an accident or an assault, it doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student. They've already drawn their own conclusions. And it's my job to inform you that... you are disqualified.

Yang: You guys believe me right?

Ruby: Duh.

Weiss: You're hot headed but not heartless.

Blake was silent.

Yang: Blake?

She looked away.

Austin: You know she wouldn't do that.

Blake: I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual - little choices that began to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. This is all just... very familiar. But you're not him. And you've never done anything like this before. So... I want to trust you. I will trust you. But first, I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me that he attacked you.  I need you to promise me that you regret having to do what you did.

Yang was crying so I held her on my lap.

Yang: I saw him attack me, so I attacked back.

Blake: Okay. Thank you.

Yang: I think I'm gonna rest up.

Blake: We'll let you be.

The girls left. As I was about to leave, she cried. I turned around and hugged her. I felt tears on my shoulders as she cried a little. We watched the match on Yang's scroll. It was Pyrrah vs Penny. The fight was good but Pyrrah dismantled Penny. What's goings on? The arena went red.

???: This is not a tragedy. This is not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust. Your safety. Your children. The men that claim to be your guardians. They are in reality nothing more than men.

Ghost: Guardians?

Alarms were going off about Grimm attack.

Yang: We need to find Ruby!

Austin: Let's go! Ghost! Sunbreaker and Raze-Lighter!

Ghost: Done. And Austin.

Austin: What?

Ghost: The darkness is weighing us down. The same darkness from the Hellmouth. If you die you will not be resurrected.

Oh thats assuring to tell me.

Austin: Thanks

We ran through the dorms.

Yang: Blake. Is Ruby with you?

Blake: No she's not.

Yang was clenching her fists.

Blake: Yang. She's alright. She's our leader, she can take care of herself.

We noticed some White Fang along with some Grimm.

Yang: We gotta go. We'll meet at the courtyard.

I sliced every Grimm in half as Yang punched every White Fang member out of our way to the courtyard. We got to the courtyard and found everyone we knew but Ruby and Blake. A paladin ran our way as I charged at it and sliced it vertically in half with one swipe.
