Remnant's Maiden Of Dawn

Chapter 25: Wise Words

Ruby: Uh... Thank you!

Y/N: (So Innocent)

Weiss: Greetings, Ruby Rose, Y/N L/N. I wish to thank you for taking an interest in my sister.

Ruby: Oh! Uh, yes, of course! 

Y/N: It's an honor.

Winter: I have business with the General and your Headmaster. But, seeing as I'm early, why don't you take me to your quarters?

Weiss: Really?

Winter: (as she and Weiss begin walking towards the Academy, followed by the androids) Yes. I wish to inspect them and make sure that they are up to my personal standards.

Weiss: Of course. Just so you're aware, the bunk beds only look unstable.

Winter: Bunk beds?

Ruby: (waving goodbye behind them) I'll catch up- I mean, I will... reconvene with you both... at a later...

Y/N: Juncture.

Ruby: Yeah! At a later juncture.

They leave as Ruby and I start walking back to Beacon.

Ruby: That was... awkward.

Y/N: Yeah, I've never felt so nervous before.

Ruby: (cuddles with Y/N's arm) At least we're nervous together.

Y/N: Yeah...

We get closer to each other about to kiss until we see a crowd forming a few feet away from us.

Y/N: What's happening over there?

Ruby: Let's check it out.

We run to the crowd as we spot Weiss upfront as I see Winter trading blows with a Raven haired man.

Ruby: What's going on?!

Weiss: Some crazy guy just started attacking my sister!

Ruby: Oh no! Who would do such a th-That is my uncle!

Weiss & Y/N: What?!

Ruby: (yells loudly) Kick her butt, Uncle Qrow!

Weiss: Uh... (decides to shout her own encouragement) Teach him respect, Winter!

Both Winter and Qrow parry each of their strikes with rapid speed, as Winter dodges a two-handed swing before smacking Qrow's left cheek with the pommel of her saber.

But Qrow grins as his left eye flashes brightly and Winter is forced to leap away with a glyph as Qrow slams his sword on the ground, shattering the pavement.

I see the pavement flying towards Weiss and Ruby as I engulf my hand in water and slice the stone into small pieces so no other civilians get hurt.

Y/N: (That was close...)

Winter then breaks away from the mid air crane stance as she lands near a lamppost, which is subsequently destroyed with a swipe from Qrow.

She then leaps above him and dodging his swings, finally leaping on top of his sword, then giving him an excellent view of her foot as she kicks him in the face. 

Winter backflips onto the stump that used to be a lamppost, but then leaps off onto a railing high above, right as Qrow throws his sword at the stump.

Qrow transforms his weapon, firing a cannon shot at Winter and forcing her to jump onto the side of a concrete, arched pillar.

She uses her sword to stay on the vertical surface until Qrow runs forward and tries firing more blasts at her, which she dodges by scaling the pillar's face and eventually leaping onto the archway itself.
