Blake watches the ocean water as she journeys on a passenger ship. As the trip continues she jumps at minor noises several times. The captain of the ship approaches her, looking to befriend her and learn her story. He quickly realizes to his amusement that she would rather be left alone. After he departs, Blake removes her bow and was about to let the ribbon go but she had the second thought and decided to put it in her pocket. She turns, not seeing the hooded figure watching her or the moving scales in the water.
Blake was peacefully relaxing on the railing, watching a faunus couple walk past her and it made her sad to know that she had abandon Rave after Beacon before even just realizing that someone has been watching her when a Sea Feilong
attacks the boat. She immediately goes into action as does the both captain. The hooded figure is reviewed to be Sun when he tosses off his disguise to join in on the action. Blake is not happy to see him, but she accepts his help.
As the fight continues, the Sea Feilong reveals its hidden wings within its dorsal fin and attacks from the air, sending electronic blasts at the ship and the two combatants. However, that Captain comes up with a plan and together they take out the Grimm. Everyone onboard the ship celebrates. Blake, however, wants answers from Sun, after giving him a solid slap on the face.
Sun states that he had been following her ever since she left Vale the night Beacon tower fell and he figured that she was on a one-woman mission to attack the White Fang and would need help. Blake reveals that she is actually just going home to Menagerie so that she can think things though. She also reveals that Rave is the only one who understood her and the reasons for what she must do. For Better or worse, Sun is coming along.
~•~
In the next day, Blake and Sun both arrive at Menagerie, where Sun is noticeably surprised by how crowded it is. Blake tells him that two-thirds of Menagerie is desert filled with dangerous wildlife, leaving the faunus little room to create a settlement. Despite this, Sun is still noticeably awed by the sight of Kuo Kuana and expresses interest at the protest of staying around Menagerie, telling Blake that he feels "pretty at home" there. Both Blake and Sun are on their way to the largest visible building; Blake's home.
They both then walked up to the house's door, right in front of the big doors. Blake was about to knock, but she hesitated.
Sun: What is it?
Blake: I...um...
Blake trailed off.
Blake: It's just been a long time since I've seen my parents.
Sun: Well, you came all this way.
He replied. Blake took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It did not sound like a door, it sounded more like a drum. Sun and Blake both took a step back from the door.
Sun: Okay, if we're gonna be honest, that's kind of intimidating.
Sun nervously smiled.
The door then opened, revealing another female cat faunus. She looked like Blake, but of course, much older and with different appearances of how she wore. Her ears perked up and her eyes went wide.
???: Blake
The woman asked, her voice warm and humble.
Blake: Hi, mom.
Blake replied.
Blake's mom gave Blake a huge hug in return.
???: My baby girl.
Blake's mother smiled as she hugged Blake tighter. Blake smiled and hugged her mother back soon after.
???: Mrs. Belladonna, who's at the door?
Another voice asked. This voice was quite kind and bravery. Another person appeared next to Blake's mother, revealing a female wolf faunus with fluffy light black hair with wolf ears on top of her head and emerald green eyes.
???: Hi, can we help you with-
She looked completely shocked as her eyes laid upon Blake, while being hugged by her mother.
???: Oh my god...you're back...?
Blake: Hi. It's been a while, Kari.
The girl, Kari was moved to tears as she joined in a hug and she couldn't help but cry out of joy.
Kari: Oh, thank god you're okay...you and Sora have been both gone for so long, we didn't even think you would ever come back home! I'm so happy!
Blake and her mother both wrapped her arms around Kari, making a group of three, hugging each other.
Kari: Wait, if you're back, then...does that mean my brother is back too...?
She asked Blake with a bit of hope. Blake made a facial expression of sadness and doesn't know how to explain to her friend about what happened to her brother after what Rave told her about Sora and what really happened to him before they met.
Blake: Well, Kari...
???: Kali, Kari, who is it?
Another voice asked. This voice was quite tough and commanding but also the voice this time is actually a man.
Kari turned her head and said.
Kari: Mr. Belladonna! It's Blake! She has finally come home!
The man appeared and he was quite tall, having black hair and a black beard. He almost didn't believe what Kari said but soon saw Blake with his own eyes; his expression changed when his eyes went wide as well when he saw her at the door by his wife and Kari's side. Blake gave a smile to her father. Her father smiled back at her, just as happy as his wife was to see their daughter again.
Once everything had to settled when they came inside, they had proceeded into the dining area, where they had rested from their travels. Blake filled them in on what she was doing since she's been away from home. They knew she was in Vale. And Blake finally told them about Sora and what really happened to him, including that he's no longer with them. They were shocked and upset to hear some of the stories of course, mostly Kari who found out about what really happened to her older brother and her only family she had left, of course she's upset and so does Blake's parents, but they still they were just glad to see Blake back home.
Kari had been pouring them some tea, as Blake's parents; Kali and Ghira both took it all in.
Kali: We were all horrified when we heard the news.
She admitted.
Kali: The kingdom of Vale wasn't perfect, it certainly didn't deserve what happened.
Kari: We were all worried sick. Sonya left home after she found out about what happened. She went out and went to find you and get some answers. After finding out of her disappearance, her mom began to worry sick.
Ghira: Please! I knew she'd be fine.
Ghira chuckled.
Kali: That isn't the slightest bit true.
Kali frowned.
Kali: You should've seen him pacing.
Kari: But more so than usual.
Kari added.
Sun had soon spoken up.
Sun: You guys got nothing to worry about.
He smiled before he continued.
Sun: I've seen your daughter in action before and trust me, she's got some moves!
Blake froze at this while Kari spit out her tea and she coughed.
Kari: YOU WHAT?!
Kari shouted before coughing a little.
Ghira soon gave a glare, making Sun shiver. Sun almost recognized that glare before back at Beacon when he met Blake's boyfriend.
Ghira: And what exactly do you mean by that Mr. Wukong?
Sun started to sweat nervously as he started to try to explain himself.
Sun: Well, sir...uh...you see...she's just a really good fighter and as a fellow fighter, I have respect for that...
Sun trailed off whilst Kari and Kari both engaged in their conversation with Blake.
Kari: Who the hell does he think he is...?
Kari grumbled as she growled like a wolf.
Kari: ...Making a move on you like that like he's the king of-
Blake: Kari, it's not like that. Besides I only had a boyfriend.
Kali: Why is he here again?
Blake: He just...followed me home.
Kali: I see.
Sun: ...I mean, she's definitely above average, uh...
Sun stopped ranting like a complete idiot as Blake's family, her friend, including himself, made negative looks at him. Sun used his tail to pour more tea and tried to save himself.
Sun: This really is really good!
Kali: I like him.
She smirked.
Blake: Mom!
Blake grit her teeth.
Kari: Speaking of, you said you already had a boyfriend. What's his name and what's he like?
Blake: His name is Rave Soyama, he's a really good person and he knows what's right and wrong and knows about honor. He really does care about me and I have many things that I can tell you about him.
Kali & Kari: Rave Soyama.
They both hummed before they look at each other and smiled as if they had the same thought before they both looked at Blake.
Kali & Kari: I like him.
Blake: Oh, come on!
Blake groaned, being embarrassed and felt that she regret that what she told her mom and best friend about her boyfriend.
It wasn't long before they heard the door knocked again, making most of them alert. Ghira seemed to know who it had been as he looked troubled.
Ghira: Darn! I completely forgot about the meeting!
Kari: Mr. Belladonna?
She asked, worried.
Kali: Ghira...
Kali said, putting her hand on his as to calm him down.
Ghira: Give me a moment.
He said to them. He got up from where he was sitting and made his way to the door.
Blake: Is everything okay?
Kali: Yes, dear, just poor timing. He can reschedule.
She smiled.
Kali: It's just been so hard dealing with them.
Blake: Dealing with who?
Blake asked again, making her mother and her friend both stop drinking their teas.
Kari: Oh, isn't it obvious? It's the White Fang.
Blake & Sun: What?!
Blake and Sun both shouted and got up from their seats before ran towards the door.
Blake: Dad!
Blake shouted.
Ghira: Blake, what's wrong?
Her father asked, surprised and moved out of the way, revealing two faunus in red clothing.
???: Miss Belladonna.
The one on the left bowed.
???: We had no idea you'd returned.
The one on the right bowed after.
Blake: What are you doing, talking to these people?
Ghira: This is Corsac and Fennec Albain. They represent the White Fang here in Menagerie now.
Sun: Those psychos are here too?!
Sun panicked, which was probably a bad move, considering Grimm where attracted to the emotion.
Fennec: Young man, I'm not sure what you heard of our organization, but I can assure you we're not nearly as ferocious as the media would have you believe.
Fennec reassured in a calm tone.
Blake: What we've heard?!
Blake repeated with more emphasis, clearly stating that she was in shock.
Blake: We've being first-hand. Your fantasies slaughtered people!
Her father seemed surprised to hear this as he turned to the two brothers.
Ghira: What is she talking about?
Corsac: Precisely what we've come to discuss with you, Your Grace.
Corsac answered, his voice even deeper than his brother's. It had it been long before Kari and Kali came into view as they had a concerned look on their faces.
Kari: Mr. Belladonna? Is everything alright?
Kali: What's happening?
Sun: Wait, you seriously don't know?!
Ghira: Know what?
He asked, dangerously.
Blake: The White Fang were at the fall of Beacon. They attacked innocent civilians and they released Grimm into the school. What's worse...Rinka was with them...and...before all of it...they, but mostly Adam ambushed Sora when he left the organization and met a human who's been friends with him before he died by the hands of the Grimm!
Kari's eyes widened at this and begins to weld up some tears in her eyes, as Blake's parents and include Sun all had their eyes widen and shocked at this newfound information.
Kari: Adam did what?! He's been working with that snake!? He and the rest of the members ambushed my brother way before he died by the hands of that creature?! Why would he do that to my brother...he lied to me...he said that my brother was kidnapped by the humans and brought him over to Atlas...he lied to me...
Kari begin to cry and Kali comforted her by wrapping her arms around her, getting her a hug and trying to calm her down.
Ghira: Is this true?
He asked, hoping that is really not.
Fennec: Sadly, Your Grace, it is.
Blake: Don't act like you're-
Ghira: That's enough!
He commanded, silencing Blake.
Ghira: Explain yourselves.
Corsac: Although, it pains us to admit, it was apparent that the Vale ranch of the White Fang is no longer operating under orders of the high leader Khan. Rather, they elected to follow the rule of one, Adam Taurus. I believe you're all familiar with the young adapt and his...extreme philosophies.
Kari: That murderer...
Kari grit her teeth.
Sun: You know, Beacon wasn't the first time the Fang started shooting up Vale!
Sun glared.
Fennec: The High Council had their suspicions of a splinter group, but they could prove nothing of this latest incident.
Blake: 'Incident'?
Blake repeated, purely disgusted.
Blake: People are dead! And it's because of the White Fang, Sora is gone, no, he's dead because of them!
Corsac: And it is a tragedy.
He agreed.
Fennec: Your Grace, we came to assure you that brother Taurus and his followers do not represent the will of the White Fang.
He reassured, but it did not do much by the looks on everyone's faces.
Ghira: And how can I be sure of that?
Corsac: We understand if you bare any skepticism towards these claims. The White Fang's tactics are admittedly since you stepped down as high leader and became chieftain of Menagerie and the loss of Diego Khan. But this...this is now way to make our message heard.
Fennec: We have ample documentation from the council meeting as well as several strategies to upper hand and punish these strays if you'd care to review them.
Ghira: I will. But another day.
He answered.
Ghira: I'd like some time to reconnect with my daughter.
Corsac: But of course, Your Grace.
He nodded.
Fennec: We completely understand.
He agreed.
Fennec: It was a pleasure seeing you again, Young Blake.
Corsac: We were saddened when we heard your departure from the White Fang, but we understand if you can no longer support our cause.
Fennec: It is a wearying fight, after all.
Fennec smirked.
Blake: Who says I'm done fighting?
Blake narrowed her eyes.
Corsac: Hmm...If you do wish to return, you need to merely to come find us.
Corsac offered.
Fennec: Sister Ilia would be elated.
Fennec added, making Kari frowned at the mention of Ilia and making Ghira put his hands on the double doors.
Blake: I now know why Sora left you.
Ghira: Goodbye gentleman.
He said, before shutting the doors on them. Blake stormed off in anger, Kari stormed to her room in sadness, anquish and anger after find out about what really happened to her brother, her only family she had. Sun broke the silence.
Sun: So...these guys were creepy.
He randomly said.
Ghira: I REALLY don't like you.
Ghira glared, making Sun lose his smile.
Kali: What about Blake's boyfriend?
Ghira: I'm starting to thinking about it and to see once when we get to meet him.
~•~
Outside...
Fennec and Corsac were walking down the stairs, away from Blake's home.
Fennec: An interesting development, wouldn't you say?
Corsac: Interesting indeed.
He agreed to his brother.
Fennec: So, shall we inform Brother Adam?
He smirked.
Corsac: We shall.
He smirked back.
~•~
At late at night, sometime had already passed since Blake had returned home and she is nervous just at the thought of talking to her own father. She had turned her back on her family and regretted everything. But she had been glad that she got out of that mess with the help of her beloved or otherwise it will be worse on her end if they hadn't met in the first place.
Meaning that there was no sense in justice in that.
Mostly when the topic came up, she had avoided it since she hated what she had become in that moment.
Blake stood outside of her father's office as she had been looking over the horizon. In a minute or two, she was about to take her leave, but she was startled by a familiar voice.
???: You know...it won't hurt you if you go and say hi.
Blake turned around and saw that it was her mother who spoke to her while she was holding a tray of tea. Behind Kali is Kari as she had been holding a plate of neatly cut sandwiches.
Kari: She's right you know. It's not like it's gonna kill you or anything.
Blake: I just don't want to bother him.
Kali: A father's never too busy for his daughter.
Kari: Exactly! You know you can tell your dad anything, Blake.
Blake sighed at this.
Blake: Not all my friends would agree with you two on that.
As Blake says, Kari couldn't help but chuckle slightly at this as she shook her head a little. Kali gives Blake a kiss on cheek and gifts her tray of tea as Kari places the plate of sandwiches on the tray, next to the set of tea that they were both going to gave them to Blake's father.
Kali: Here.
Blake: What? Where are you two going?
Kari: We're both doing you a favor, Blake!
Kari told her with a smile.
Kali: You've never been very talkative, but that boy you brought home loves to run his mouth. And says a lot about your boyfriend, of team RWBY and team REBL. I wonder me, Kari and your father will meet him?
Blake: Soon, maybe.
Blake says as her mother and her friend both left.
Ghira: Kali? Is that you, dear?
As Blake heard her father's voice and she starts shaking a little as her face is worried.
She then entered her father's office and noticed that her father had been at his desk, filling out paperwork.
Blake: Uh, hey, dad.
Her father finally noticed Blake is here in his office after hearing her voice.
Ghira: Blake! Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
He smiled, happy to see his daughter.
Blake: I...
Ghira: Please! Come sit.
He offered. Blake smile and they both go over to the couch where the table is, Blake set the tray down.
Ghira: Don't worry, I got it. Sit down, sit down.
Blake: I don't want to keep you if you're-
Ghira: Nonsense, I've been cooped up here all day.
He chuckled, making himself and her a plate of sandwiches, pouring some tea and then he put a sugar cube into Blake's tea.
Ghira: You still take sugar, right?
Blake: Oh, actually, uh-
Ghira: Oh! Sorry!
He gasped.
Blake: No, no no no, it's fine.
Blake reassured.
Ghira: Oh, here, take this one.
He offered his teacup to her.
Blake: No really. It's...It's no big deal.
Blake took her teacup instead.
Ghira: You sure?
He asked, still feeling sorry.
Blake: Positive.
Blake added a smile to fully reassure her father. There was a little silence in the air, but Ghira was the one to break it.
Ghira: Old habits, I suppose.
He says as Blake takes a sip of her tea, but it's hot.
Ghira: Might wanna let it cool.
Blake: Right.
Blake agreed, holding her tongue inside her mouth and setting the cup down.
Ghira: So...is it...warm...in Vale?
Blake: Huh?
Blake tilted her head slightly and confusion of what her father asked her.
Ghira: It's just...seems like your outfit doesn't cover very much.
Blake: It covers plenty.
Blake replied, quickly crossing her arms.
Ghira: I mean, a little more armor might help. Don't you think?
Blake: I'm fine. I don't need armor. I can look after myself.
Blake denied.
Ghira: I...
He exhaled heavily before he continued to spoke.
Ghira: I know you can. I'm sorry.
Blake: Why?
Blake asked, confusing Ghira.
Ghira: Hmm?
It took a while for her to say her full question.
Blake: Why would you say that?
Ghira: Sweetheart, what's wrong? What did I say?
Ghira asked, kneeling down beside his daughter.
Blake: How can you still love me after what I did?
Blake tearfully questioned.
Ghira: Blake...
He took a seat next to Blake and put an arm around her in reassurance.
Ghira: Your mother, Kari and I will always love you.
Blake: You were right...
Blake clenched her hands, practically on the verge of tears.
Blake: I shouted at you and yelled at you. But you were right. I called you cowards!
Ghira: Hey, it's okay.
He whispered, fully enveloping Blake into a hug.
Blake: I should've left the White Fang with you, Kari and mom. I should've convinced Sora to leave the White Fang and to come with us. I should've listened to you and I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Blake remorsefully repeated.
Ghira: Blake, it's fine.
He reassured.
Ghira: We never held anything against you and Sora and I never feared you would fail. The only thing I ever feared was that you would fall down the wrong path and same goes to Sora, I'm so proud to see that you both haven't.
Blake: But I did! Sora did too but, it didn't turn out well for him! I-
Ghira: And you both pulled yourselves out. You came back!
Ghira interrupted, only trying to see the positive in the situation.
Ghira: There aren't many that poses that kind of strength and even fewer have the courage to face their demons again. Vale, Mountain Glenn, Beacon. You confronted the White Fang time after time. Sora would have been very proud of you that you confronted them.
Blake: I didn't do it alone.
Blake added.
Ghira: No, you didn't.
He agreed, but soon remembered.
Ghira: Which is why I wanted to ask you...why did you leave Vale? Why did you leave your friends behind?
Blake: I-
Blake was again, interrupted. But this time, it was when Sun crashed into the room, landing on his front.
Blake: Sun?!
Blake screamed.
Sun: Hey! Whoa! This isn't the bathroom! I'll just be going. Sorry to interrupt this tender family moment!
Sun nervously giggled.
Ghira: I really don't like you.
Ghira glared.
Just then, Kari appeared in front of the broken front door and she is not happy about this situation at all as she gritted her teeth and growled but she calmed down a bit before she looked at Ghira and Blake.
Kari: I am really sorry about this situation, Mr. Belladonna and Blake. I will take good care of this mess, immediately.
She apologized and bowed, before grabbing Sun by his tail very hard and very tightly which gives him pain due to his facial expression and she pulled him out of the room. She quickly put up the door and repaired it after.
Ghira: Which it reminds me of something else, something that I really need to talk to you about Kari, Blake. Something very important.
He said, looking at his daughter.
Wonder of what her father wanted to talk to Blake about Kari? Let's find out real soon shall we?
~•~
Later on, Blake groaned at Sun, having enough of his behavior. Kari was right next to Blake and she is too very upset and mad.
SLAP!
Blake: No concept of privacy!
SLAP!
Blake: No respect for personal space!
Sun: I'm sorry, okay?! Ow, I'm sorry!
He shouted, holding his face as to where Blake slapped him.
Kari: What in the world where you thinking?! I don't know if you noticed but Blake was having an important conversation with her own father!
Blake soon tried to walk away with Kari, but Sun stopped them and he finally spoke up.
Sun: Look, I swear it was important! I had to find you to talk to you!
Blake: What, Sun?!
Blake huffed.
Blake: What could be so important?!
Sun: I was talking to your mom and Kari and they said something weird about the White Fang!
Sun informed.
Kari: Please don't bring this up, now.
She groaned as she places her hand on her head, irritated.
Blake: I'm stopping you right there.
Blake put a finger up to halt Sun's speaking.
Sun: But-
Blake: I already told you, I'm not here to fight the White Fang. I'm not here to fight anyone. I'm here to rest, to figure things out, to see my friends and family.
Blake explained.
Sun: Your mom and Kari both said that the White Fang members don't wear masks in Menagerie. But I saw one in the market yesterday!
He continued talking about what Kali and Kari both told him.
Sun: I even have a picture!
Blake & Kari: Sun!
Both Blake and Kari shouted.
Sun: Look, I'm just trying to help!
He argued.
Blake: I don't WANT your help!
Blake took his scroll and threw it away. Sun growled at Blake, making Kari gave him the death glare and growled at him back, but they're arguing soon stopped when a gasp was heard in the distance. Both Blake and Kari closely analyzed as to where that gasp came from and soon a familiar figure. The figure appear to have the mask of the White Fang on. A familiar figure quickly jumped out from the trees revealing that the person is a girl and had a ponytail that was curved on the end. Kari recognized that person as her eyes widen in shock and gasped.
Kari: No-it can't be-!
Sun: A freakin' ninja?!
Blake: A spy!
Blake corrected, quickly jumping after it. Kari went after her.
Sun: Hey, wait!
He called out to them, but it was too late, both Blake and Kari were already gone.
Kali soon came from around the corner seeing the two girls had just taken off.
Kali: What's happened?
Sun: The White Fang is evil, I totally called it and I'm bringing both of the girls back!
Sun quickly answered, following Blake and Kari.
Blake was jumping from tree to tree with Kari following her, both chasing the mysterious figure that was running away from them Blake thought that the figure was about to get away, but Sun came jumping out from a random tree.
Sun: Gotcha!
He shouted, only to find that he did not get her and the figure kept running away.
Sun: Hey, wait up!
Kari: You call that stealth?!
Blake: Don't let her out of your sight!
Blake ordered. The figure soon stopped right in front of them after running across countless rooftops. The darkness that was consumed her soon faded away, revealing her to be a tanned girl with a mask of the White Fang on. She held for weapon out, damaging up the pipe, which made steam blow out of it. Sun then appeared behind the girl.
Sun: Look, I'm not above hitting a girl, so-
He was interrupted when the girl tried to whip him with her weapon. Blake and Kari then both got into a fight with the mysterious girl, knocking her scroll out of her hands. The girl fought back, but Sun has her pinned down.
Sun: Grab the scroll! Seems like someone thinks it's important!
???: Get off!
The girl shouted, knocking Sun off of her. Blake then made a dash for the scroll and the girl tried to chase after her, only for Kari to block her path with her daggers in hand, allowing Sun to use his clones to stop her. Blake then stopped for a second and hesitated.
Sun: Get the scroll!
He shouted, snapping Blake back into reality and making her go back to the scroll. Sun felt weak after using his semblance for too long, making him stop using it and fall to his knees. The girl's mask was damaged, revealing one of her eyes. Kari then decided to take over, dodging the weapon and kicking the mask clean off of her face. Both she and Blake both knew who it was and glared.
Kari & Blake: Ilia.
Sun: Wait, you both know her?!
Sun shouted in disbelief.
Sun: But, she doesn't even look like a fau-
He was interrupted when Ilia used her weapon to electrify Sun. He shouted in agony as he fell to the floor.
Kari & Blake: Sun!
They both screamed. Ilia changed her body colour from red and yellow to blue and green. It was very clear that she was a faunus. Or more specifically...a chameleon faunus. Not mostly similar to Rinka's.
Ilia: Give it to me.
She ordered.
Blake: No.
Blake denied as Kari had her daggers ready.
Ilia: You shouldn't have come back.
Ilia then parade a huge cloud of dust, blinding Blake and Kari for a brief time before seeing that she had vanished.
Blake: Oh no, Sun!
Blake knelt down to Sun and held a hand on his wound.
Blake: No, no, no. Not again!
Kari: Oh my God! Oh my God, is he dead!? Please tell me he isn't dead! He'll be okay, right?! He's going to be okay, right?!
Kari shouted fearfully.
Blake: Kari! Go and get help! Hurry!
Blake told her friend fearfully.
Kari: But, what about you?!
Blake: Just please go! Go and find help!
Kari try to say something but stopped herself as she gave a hesitate nod. She soon ran along the rooftops doing what her friend had told.
Kari: Please be okay, Sun. Hold on...just hold on, Sun...
She mumbled herself, praying and hoping that Sun would be alright.
~•~
The next day in the Belladonna's family home, Sun was laying down on the couch with a bandage over his wound of where Ilia hit him. He groaned as he started to wake up.
Sun: Blake?
He called out, but Blake just looked down, not even bothering to face him.
Blake: This...is why, Sun. This is why I left them all behind.
Sun: What are you...wait, where am I?
He asked, confused as to where he was.
Blake: I am done seeing my friends get hurt because of me.
Blake ignored Sun's question.
Sun: Blake...
Blake: Shut up!
Blake silenced him.
Blake: Do you think I like being alone? Every day...every day I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Rave and the others...they were my friends! I loved them like I thought I could never love anybody. And Rave, he loved me the same way and he didn't bother that I'm a faunus and he's a human. And I hope they hate me for leaving.
Sun: You don't mean that.
He frowned.
Blake: Yes, I do!
Blake shouted, making him flinch.
Blake: Everybody thanks they can help me, but they can't! You saw Ilia last night and she's not even the worst! No. No more. They're better off without me. I've made my choices and all deal with the consequences, because they belong to me.
Sun: You think you're being selfless, but you're not. Yeah, that chameleon friend of yours got me pretty good. But I'd do it all again if it meant protecting you. Yang would say the same and I can promise Rave would do and say the same thing, no doubt. Hell, that's actually the reason I'm here, he asked me to help you when he can't because he's not himself right now.
Blake looked at him with a shocking look on her face.
Blake: What do you mean by that?
Sun: From a few days before we left Vale. I met Rave while he was in Forever Fall forest. He said that he can't be there with you or the others since he's not himself because after what happened but he promised that he'll be on the road soon also he asked me if I could protect you for him. Heh, I really see why you love him so much and we got along just fine, in fact he's like a brother to me and he felt the same and thought of me as his brother too even though that I'm a faunus and that he's a human.
Blake turned away from him as he kept talking...
Sun: You can make your own choices, sure. But you don't get to make ours. When your friends fight for you, because we want to. So STOP pushing us out!
Sun's words actually managed to get through to Blake. In all honestly, it was surprising, seeing that he was mainly the stupid one.
Sun: It hurts more than anything that bad guys could ever do to us. Rave even told me that he was scared for you, scared that he failed to do and failed to protect you, scared that you could die because he couldn't do anything.
There was a silence in the air, but he broke it again.
Sun: But, hey, even makes you feel any better, the next time I got up against lizard girl, it won't be for you - it'll be to get even.
Sun jokes, holding his wound after making the said joke. Blake laugh a little and sighed.
Blake: Thanks, Sun. It really means a lot.
She nodded. They were soon interrupted when Kali came crashing through the door.
Kali: Oh, honey, sweetie, would you both look at that! He's awake! Thank goodness!
She nervously tried to play it off.
Ghira: Kali, please.
Ghira sighed.
Kari: You and me both, Dad.
She agreed and it turns out from conversation of what he wanted to talk to Blake about Kari, is that they wanted to make her a new member of the family.
Blake: Mom!
Sun: Hey, Mrs. B!
He greeted.
Blake: What are you doing here?
Blake asked, storming up to her family.
Kali: Well, sweetheart, your father needs to speak with the two of you and Kari.
She informed, making Blake confused.
Ghira: You were right to be suspicious.
He said, putting a scroll down onto the table.
Kari: Adam's planning to overthrow the leader of the White Fang and includes Sonya and plan a full-scale attack on Haven. It'll be like Beacon all over again. We have to warn Sonya about this.
Kari continued.
Sun: Not if we destroy the White Fang once and for all.
Blake then suddenly stood up with a serious expression on her face.
Blake: No.
She spoke.
Blake: We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back.
