The Great War of Remnant (Book 1)

Shock

Blake considers it.

Blake: How big?
Sun: Huge. Big Schnee company freighter.
Blake: You're sure?

Meanwhile

Yang and Weiss walk out of a shop, still searching for their teammate.

Yang: Thanks again... this is hopeless.

Weiss remains silent.

Yang: You really don't care if we find her, do you?
Weiss: Don't be stupid. Of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her. The innocent never run, Yang.

Meanwhile... again.
Ruby POV

Penny: So, Blake is your friend?

I've explained this multiple times.

Me: Yes, Penny.
Penny: But you're mad at her?
Me: Ye- Well, I'm not. Weiss is.
Penny: Is she friends with Blake?
Me: Well, that's kind of up in the air right now.
John: "Up in the air"? I doubt Weiss will greet her like a normal person when we find her.
Penny: But why?
Me: Well, you see, Blake might not be who we thought she was.
Penny: Is she a man?!

John starts to giggle uncontrollably.

Me: No, no, Penny. She... I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off.
Penny: I don't have a lot of friends. But I did, I would want them to talk to me about things.
Me: Me too.

Timeskip
Blake POV

I sit on top of a Dust shipment container, waiting for the robbers to show up. Sun comes up behind me.

Sun: Did I miss anything?
Me: Not really. They've offloaded all the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there.
Sun: Cool. I stole ya some food.

That's the fourth time he's broken the law since I've met him.

Me: Do you always break the law without a second thought?
Sun: Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?

I give him a disapproving look.

Sun: Okay, too soon.

Suddenly we feel a gust of air as a bullhead flies over us. It lands down in an opening on the docks. The people in the bullhead walk out with guns and swords... bearing the White Fang insignia.

Me: Oh no...
Sun: Is that them?
Me: Yes... it's them.

It pains me more than words can express to see how far the White Fang have fallen.

Sun: You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?
Blake: No. I think deep down I knew... I just didn't want to be right.
???: Hey! What's the hold up?! We aren't exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?!

The man this voice belongs to steps into view, and it's... a human? No... no...

Me: This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a human. Especially not one like that.

I take out my sword and hop down from the crate. I silently make my way over to the human and hold my weapon to his neck.

Human: Oh for fu-
Me: Nobody move!

They all take out their weapons, ready to fight me.

Human: Woah, take it easy there little lady.

The White Fang members close in on me. But they'll listen to one of their own. I take off my bow and reveal my ears.

Me: Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?

They all look unsure about what to do next. Then the human starts to chuckle.

Human: Oh, kid. Didn't you get the memo?
Me: What are you talking about?!
Human: The White Fang and I are going on a joint business venture together.
Me: Tell me what it is, or I'll put an end to your little operation.

Then two more bullheads appear.

Human: I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation!!!

The human takes this opportunity to detonate some sort of explosive underneath me, sending me flying.

Meanwhile
John POV

I walk with Ruby and Penny. We're about to go home and try again tomorrow, when we hear an explosion in the distance. We look behind us and see smoke pluming in the distance.

Me: Oh no...

Back at the docks
Blake POV

I just barely manage to dodge the other explosive that the human shot from the tip of his cane. He keeps shooting at me until Sun distracts him so I can catch my breath. I charge back at the human and rush him with a flurry of attacks, before he manages to hit me. Then Sun comes in and tries to hit him, but the human manages to deflect every attack, until I punch him and send him flying. Then he shoots a crate, which me and Sun barely manage to dodge.

John POV

Penny, Ruby, and I stand on top of the warehouse and watch the ensuing battle.

Ruby: Hey!

She ready's her scythe. I get a good look at the one that Blake and that other Faunus are fighting. And wouldn't you know it, it's that Torchwick wanker we met a few months ago.

Roman: Oh, hello, kids! Isn't it past your bedtimes?!
Penny: Ruby, John? Are these people your friends?
Me: Penny, stay back!

Then Torchwick fires an explosive at us, knocking me of the building. My ears start to ring again. Which is weird, since they didn't the last time I fought him.

I look up and see Penny jump from the roof with swords levitating behind her.  Blake and Sun continue fighting the White Fang members. All the explosions around me... my ears start to ring so loud that it hurts. My vision goes black...

Blake POV

I fight the rest of the White Fang members. Sun is right behind me. I take out about 5, then look to see one charging at John. John also knows this, since he ready's his gun and fires... then blood erupts from the member's head. We all watch in horror as another charges at him in anger.

WFM: Damn you, human!!!

John takes out his sidearm and shoots the member three times in the chest, killing them.

Me: NO!!!

A third member charges at him and knocks him to the ground. His helmet goes rolling. John takes out a knife and stabs the member in the neck.

Why?! Why is he doing this?! Why is he murdering these Faunus?!

I thought he was my friend...

One last member charges at him. John manages to grab his helmet and knock the member to the ground. Then, using his helmet, John caves in the member's skull.

Then he runs and hides between two crates.

The human gets away in a bullhead and flies off.
