(3RD POV)
Balcony café in the middle of Vale where (Y/N) (L/N), Sun Wukong and Blake Belladonna were drinking tea. A defeated look on (Y/N), and bearing a hand mark on his face, Blake with an irritated look, and Sun, very curious of what happened. The three just drank tea in silence, while the clock ticks in the background.
(Y/N): ......
Blake: ......
Sun: ....?
At the last tick, finally (Y/N) breaks the silence.
(Y/N): I-
Blake: Don't.
(Y/N): I just-
Blake: Don't!
(Y/N): It's not what you think!
(Flashback)
(Y/N) and Blake are in bed where (Y/N), unknowingly, turns his body towards Blake, who is sleeping on her back, making (Y/N)'s hand touch Blake's breast. (Y/N), with his eyes still closed, examines this 'soft' and 'squishy' thing.
Blake: *moans*
(Y/N): (What the hell?)
Blake, wakes up from it, seeing (Y/N)'s hand squeezing her breast, making her face as red as Ruby's cloak. As soon as (Y/N) opens his eyes he sees his hand on Blake's breast, then turns to Blake's face, who is angry, blushing and on the verge of tears.
(Y/N): I.....uhhhh.....
Blake then looks at (Y/N)'s 'below region', which is standing.
Blake: EEEK!
*SLAP*
(Present Time)
Blake is blushing and on the verge of tears.
Blake: I just--can't believe you!
Sun: So....what happened?
(Y/N): (to Sun) Nothing! It's just a misunderstanding!
Blake: To think you'd have your way with me.
(Y/N): (to Blake) It's nothing like that!
Blake: (mutters) I-It's not like I mind though..... You could've just asked....
(Y/N): What?
Blake: (slams tea cup) N-Nothing! Y-You Idiot! P-PERVERT!
Sun: (skeptical) So.....did you guys do it?
(Y/N) & Blake: (stands up from their seats) NO!
Sun jumps in surprise when he heard that.
Sun: Okay...hehehe....
(Y/N) & Blake seats back down.
Blake: *sighs* Why are you even here?
(Y/N): Aren't you that faunus thief before?
Sun: Yes. And since it's my second day here in Vale, I thought I'd make some friends.
(Y/N): Well you chose to make friends with us in a bad time, dude.
Sun: I can see that...hehe....(scratches head)
(Y/N): *sighs* Well since you're here. I'm (Y/N).
Blake: Blake.
Sun: Sun Wukong! Friends call Sun!
(Y/N): (Like the monkey king? His name suits him.)
Sun: So...(cups chin with his hands) tell me about yourselves.
(Y/N) & Blake looks at each other for a brief moment, then turns back to Sun.
Blake: So, you want to know me...
(Y/N): Blake...
Blake: It's fine (Y/N). He can be trusted.
Sun: Trusted with what?
(Time Skip)
Blake tells Sun the of story of her being with the White Fang before, and how and why she hid the fact the she's a faunus.
Sun: Wow.
Blake: ....
Sun: (coming to terms with this) So... have you told your friends any of this?
(Y/N): Just me so far. And we are planning to tell the rest of her team.
Blake: M-Maybe later, (Y/N).
(Y/N): Take your time, Blake. But they're bound to find out somehow. Not to mention-- they're probably worried sick.
Blake merely looks down in shame and says nothing.
================================================================================
The scene transitions to Ruby, Yang, and Weiss walking through town and calling in vain for their missing teammate.
Ruby: (continuing to scream) Blaaaaaaaake! Where aaaare yoooouuuu!?
Yang: Blake!
Ruby: (Y/N)! Blake!
Yang: (Y/N)!
Ruby: (turning on Weiss) Weiiiiss, you're not helping!
Weiss: Oh! You know what might be able to help? The police!
Ruby: (crossing her arms in irritation) Ugh, Weiss...
Weiss: It was just an idea!
Ruby: (walking down the sidewalk) Yeah, a bad one.
Yang: (following behind Ruby) Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions.
Weiss: (following behind Yang) I think that when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right!
Penny: (following behind Weiss) And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today!
Ruby: (turning around suddenly with her team in surprise) Aaaah! Penny! Where did you come from!?
Penny: (cheerfully ignoring the question) Hey guys! What are you up to?
Ruby: Uhh...
Yang: We're looking for our friends Blake & (Y/N).
Penny: Ooooh, you mean the Faunus girl!
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang stare at Penny.
Ruby: Wait, how did you know that?
Penny: Uhh, the cat ears? (points to her head)
Yang: (laughing a little) What cat ears? She wears a... boooohhh...
The realization leaves them in silence as a tumbleweed blows through in the wind.
Ruby: (whispering) She does like tuna a lot...
Penny: And (Y/N).....OH! The cute boy?
Ruby & Weiss: Umm... (blushing)
Yang: Yep! That's him!
Ruby and Weiss looks at Yang with a surprised expression.
Yang: What? You know it's true.
Penny: So, where are they?
Ruby: We don't know. They've been missing ever since.
Penny: *gasps* That's terrible! (approaching an uncomfortable Ruby) Well, don't you worry Ruby, my friend! I won't rest until we find your friends!
Ruby: (doing her best to continue smiling) Uh, that's really nice of you, Penny, but we're okay! Really! Right, guys?
She looks over Penny to direct her question at Yang and Weiss, who's blinking outlines are all that's left of their sudden departure from the company of the strange girl.
A tumbleweed blows past them again in the quiet.
Penny: It sure is windy today!
================================================================================
(Y/N), Sun and Blake are then seen walking down an alley.
Sun: (hands behind his head) So, what's the plan now?
Blake: (contemplating) I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before.
Sun: (widening his eyes) What if they did? (lowering his arms and pacing in front of Blake as he continues his theory) I mean... the only way to prove that they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there! Right?
Blake: The only thing is, I've no idea where that would be.
(Y/N): I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas.
Sun: Yeah! I heard that too while I was on the ship.
Blake: How huge?
Sun: Huge. Big Schnee Company freighter.
Blake: You guys sure?
(Y/N): Only one way to find out.
================================================================================
Yang coming out of a shop with Weiss, waving to the person inside.
Yang: Thanks anyways! *sighs* This is hopeless. (at Weiss when she looks around nonchalantly) 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. Especially him..... The innocent never run, Yang!
Yang looks down in thought, then looks up the sky.
Yang: *sighs* What other dumb things are you doing now, (Y/N).
(Y/N's words replayed in Yang & Weiss' mind)
AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A FAMILY! I HAD TO WATCH MINE DIE!
Yang sighs while Weiss looks down contemplating.
================================================================================
Penny: So, Blake is your friend?
Ruby: (sighing as they make their way down the sidewalk) Yes, Penny.
Penny: But you're mad at her?
Ruby: Yes. Well, I'm not. Weiss is.
Penny: Is she friends with Blake?
Ruby: Well, that's kind of up in the air right now...
Penny: (trying to contemplate this) But why?
Ruby: (sighs again) Well, you see, Blake might not be who we though she was...
Penny: (gasps) Is she a man?
Ruby: No! No, Penny. She's... (stops and sighs, looking at Penny as she talks now) 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 if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things.
Ruby: (turns her gaze downward sadly) Me too... (they continue walking)
Penny: What about, (Y/N)? Is he your friend?
Ruby: Yes. A best friend, no, I-I mean-- a-a close friend...maybe.....I-I don't know....
Penny: What do you mean, Ruby?
Ruby: It's just. *sighs* (Y/N) is just so nice, always brings a smile to everyone's faces, and he's always their whenever you have problems.
Penny: He sure does sound like a nice boy.
Ruby: Yeah, but....
Penny: What is it, Ruby?
Ruby: He never really talks about his problems. I mean it's like he'd help others rather than being helped.
Penny: (contemplates) Isn't that a good thing?
Ruby: IT'S STUPID!
The both of them stops walking.
Penny: Ruby? Are you angry?
Ruby: *sighs* No, Penny. S-Sorry.
Penny: It's fine.
Ruby: It's just....*sighs* Why does he have to hurt himself? Especially at that time....in the.....initiation....
Penny: I don't know much about that. But, father said to me once that--"When a person is willing to sacrifice everything, it shows of how much the person cares."
Ruby: Still....
(Y/N's words replayed in Ruby's mind)
AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A FAMILY! I HAD TO WATCH MINE DIE!
Ruby: (Y/N)...
(Time Skip)
Amidst the chirping of crickets and darkness of night, Blake lays flat on her stomach on the rooftop overlooking the shipment of Schnee Dust containers, while (Y/N) is next to her, who is down on one knee.
(Y/N): Didn't think it was true, but here it is.
Blake is just staring at crates thinking about what (Y/N) yelled at Jaune back then.
(Y/N's words replays in Blake's mind)
AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A FAMILY! I HAD TO WATCH MINE DIE!
(Y/N): (turns to Blake) Blake?
Blake snaps back to reality.
Blake: (faces Y/N) Huh?
(Y/N): You alright?
Blake looks down worried.
(Y/N): *chuckles* Don't worry too much, Blake. I'm sure they'll forgive you.
Blake: (faces Y/N) No. It's not that.
(Y/N): ...?
Blake: I just wanted to thank you, for last night at the docks.
(Y/N): Oh, no prob-
Blake: (quickly delivers an angry glare at him) But you're still not excused from this morning.
(Y/N): (Seriously?)
Blake: I mean--ever since I got here......no.....ever since I was born, that was the first time anyone has ever cared for me.
(Y/N): What about this Adam? I mean-- you said that you guys were a 'thing' right?
Blake: Yeah, but he's completely justified in "making the world a better place." And that changed him.
(Y/N): ...?
Blake: He is now embittered, sadistic and vengeful man, willing to cut down any opposition towards his twisted ideas of justice being dispensed upon humanity.
(Y/N): Kinda like someone I know...
Blake: This Alex Mercer guy?
(Y/N) nods.
Blake: (Y/N)....I'm so sorry....about.....your-
(Y/N): Don't be.
Silence fills the air, while Blake stares at (Y/N), worryingly, for a brief moment. Until Sun breaks the silence.
Sun: (off-screen) Did I miss anything?
Blake: (looking up as Sun drops down to her right) Not really. They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there.
Sun: Cool. (holds out one of the green apples in his arms) I stole you guys some food!
(Y/N): Dude! What is wrong with you?!
Blake: (giving Sun a questioning look) Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?
Sun: (defensively countering:) Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?
Blake delivers an angry glare at him.
Sun: Okay, too soon!
Just as he says this, the winds blows all around them, and they look up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, descending in the middle of the cargo containers and extending a ramp for a black hooded individual with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.
Blake: Oh no...
Sun: Is that them?
Blake: Yes... It's them.
White Fang Soldier: (to the other White Fang members coming from the aircraft, motioning with his rifle) All right, grab the tow cables!
(Y/N): You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?
Blake: (staring sadly at the scene) No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right. (she closes her eyes in despair, only to open them suddenly when she hears a new voice)
Roman: Hey! What's the holdup!?
The soldiers look up at Roman gesturing widely and coming down the ramp.
Roman: We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?
(Y/N): Roman Torchwick. It's been awhile since I saw his eye-hair-covered face.
Blake: This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that.
She stands up and unsheathes the katana of Gambol Shroud before walking off the edge of the roof.
Sun: (alarmed) Hey, what are you doing?!
Blake falls to the ground in a crouch, then continues on to hide behind one of the containers, peeking around the corner to see Roman berate a White Fang member holding a coil of rope.
Sun: We gotta go help her!
(Y/N): (stands up) right behind yo-
As soon as (Y/N) was about to finish, he sees a small figure standing on top of another building on the left, which is far away from where they are standing.
Sun: (Y/N)?!
(Y/N): Son of a bitch....
(Y/N) then jumps towards the building, causing Sun to jaw-drop of how far he just jumped.
Sun: Woah....(snaps back to reality) Blake!
Then decides to help Blake.
Roman: No, you idiot! This isn't a leash! (as he's looking around, Blake suddenly appears behind him with her blade at his throat) What the- Oh, for f- (rolls his eyes when he's cut off by Blake mid-swear)
Blake: Nobody move!
The White Fang soldiers ready their guns and equip their swords in response.
Roman: Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady.
As the White Fang closes in on her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her Faunus ears are shown to the world.
Blake: Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?
The White Fang members lower their weapons a little at this development, unsure of what to do, when Roman laughs.
Roman: Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?
Blake: What are you talking about?
Roman: The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!
Blake: Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation.
Suddenly, the air is filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup.
Roman: (looking up) I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation...
Two more Bullheads are hovering above the heist, and as Blake watches in horror, Roman smiles and manages to fire his cane at Blake's feet, resulting in a large explosion.
================================================================================
Penny and Ruby turn around upon hearing the noise, seeing the smoke rise from the docking bay just a few buildings away.
Ruby: Oh, no...
================================================================================
(Y/N) lands behind the man, who is watching the scene. Then
(Y/N): (irritated) John fuckin' White!
John turns around to see, (Y/N).
John: (Y/N)......(eye glows red).
As soon as John and (Y/N)'s eyes met, they just stood their, irritated, for a brief moment.
(Y/N): You think destroying one world isn't enough?
John: It's just like what Alex said, (Y/N).
(Y/N): Bullshit.
John: Humanity is dead. Help me save what I can.
(Y/N): (after a brief moment of silence) Then let's get down to business.
================================================================================
================================================================================
Later, a handful of police cars are at the docks, where Ruby, Blake, Sun, and Penny are sitting on boxes in silence. That is, until Weiss and Yang appear on the scene.
Ruby: (speaking quickly to explain the situation) Look Weiss, it's not what you think, she explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute... (Weiss ignores her and squares off with Blake)
Blake: (calmly looking her down) Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-
Weiss: Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you? (she pauses) Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided...
Yang, Sun, and Ruby look on, worried.
Weiss: I don't care.
Blake: (surprised) You don't care?
Weiss: You said you're not one of them anymore, right?
Blake: No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-
Weiss: (silencing her) Ah-bah-bah-bah-bah! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some.. (looking at Sun behind her as she catches herself) Someone else.
Blake: (looking at Ruby and Yang grinning at her, she wipes a tear from her eye, nodding) Of course.
Weiss smiles and nods. The moment is serious for a second more until Ruby screams:
Ruby: (waving her arms wildly) Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!
Weiss: (as the five gather with each other, she points accusingly at Sun) "I'm still not quite sure about how I feel about you!" (Sun laughs nervously)
Ruby: Where's (Y/N)?
Blake: Oh yeah. We were just with him.
Weiss: Well, where is he?!
Sun: He kinda-
*EXPLOSION*
Revealing John and (Y/N) flying towards the scene, where John kicks (Y/N) to crash down on one of the police cars. John lands on top of (Y/N) then starts punching (Y/N)'s face, with his flaming fists. (Y/N) punches John on the stomach causing him to fly back, so that (Y/N) would transform.
(Y/N):
John stands back up to see (Y/N).
John: (wipes blood off of his mouth) Finally, your super form. Sadly, this is where it ends.
A couple of icicles jammed through (Y/N)'s chest and leg.
(Y/N): AAGH!
Dropping him down on to one knee
RWBY: (Y/N)!
Then a woman drops down behind (Y/N).
(Y/N) turns around to see the one who dropped down.
(Y/N): Lucy Kuo!
Lucy: (Y/N).
Team RWBY and got behind (Y/N) and faces Lucy while Sun got in front of (Y/N) and face John, with their weapons ready.
(Y/N): Guys?!
Sun: Just hang in there, (Y/N), we'll get those things out of you. Right after this.
(Y/N): Don't bother.
Sun: (turns to Y/N) What?! Dude you're gonna die if you don't-
(Y/N) pulls all of the icicles out of his chest and leg, then stands up to face John.
Sun: Woah!
(Y/N) gets in front of Sun.
(Y/N): You guys get out of here, I'll handle things here!
Weiss: And making the fight 2-on-1, that doesn't seem fair.
Sun: She's right! These guys ambushed you, it's only fair to be 2-on-6.
(Y/N): Guys! I'm serious, Get outta here!
Team RWBY still facing Lucy.
Ruby: No way!
Yang: We're not leaving you here!
(Y/N): Dammit! You'll just get yourselves killed!
Police sirens was all over, surrounding the nine of them. Guns were pointed at John, (Y/N) and Lucy. A police officer opens the door of the cop car revealing James Ironwood, with a megaphone at hand, and Penny who is inside the cop car, watching.
Ironwood: (on the megaphone) That's enough! Stand down!
(Y/N): (mutter) That's a bad idea.
John turns around to see Ironwood.
Ironwood: I repeat! Stand! Down!
John then transforms into a human magma.
Sun: What the?!
(Y/N): No...
Ironwood: Stand down or we will ope-!
As soon as Ironwood was about to finish, John slashes a giant line of flames going towards Ironwood.
(Y/N): NOOOO! (dashes in front of Ironwood)
Penny: (Y/N)!
(Y/N) blocks the attack causing him to get a third degree burn on his arms, then quickly heals.
(Y/N): Not today....NOT TODAY MOTHERFUCKER! (dashes to John)
John: YOU LITTLE SHIT! (dashes to Y/N)
Their fists collide, causing a flaming shock wave.
John uppercuts (Y/N) into the air, then jumps towards (Y/N). The two starts to continue fighting in the air.
Lucy attempts to fly to help John, but her leg is caught by Blake's Gambol Shroud. Blake pulls Lucy down to them, causing Lucy to hit the ground. As team RWBY charges at Lucy, Lucy fires a barrage of icicles to the team, only slowing them down by dodging every single one.
The first one to get to Lucy was Yang, who then starts punching her, only to make her dodge all of it, making Lucy create a giant ice pillar below Yang to send her flying.
Next is Blake and Sun. Lucy makes two ice spears to fight back. Blake swings her sword at Lucy, Lucy parries it then kicks Blake away. Before Sun even swings his staff, Lucy swift kicks Sun to the ground and jams his jacket through with her ice spears to the ground.
Next is Ruby and Weiss. Lucy makes two ice daggers this time. Ruby swings her scythe down, Lucy dodges and looks at the scythe which is close to her face. Weiss charges at Lucy with her Myrtenaster, Lucy parries it, making Weiss get behind Lucy. The two then continuously strikes at Lucy, but Lucy seems to block every hit, without any difficulties.
Lucy kicks Ruby away, parries Weiss, gets close to Weiss' face then slams her to the ground.
Ruby: Weiss!
Ruby starts firing at Lucy, only making Lucy create an ice shield. As Yang is about to drop down, Lucy aims her shield at Yang, causing Yang to punch the shield, only making it crack.
Yang: What?
Lucy swings her shield, with Yang on it, and throws it at Ruby. Weiss gets back up and charges at Lucy, Lucy catches Weiss' Myrtenaster, and gets close to her face.
Lucy: Why do you resist?
Lucy grabs Weiss and throws her against the wall, then dashes to Weiss to choke her.
Lucy: You're really willing to risk your life just to help a stranger?
Weiss: (struggling) (Y/N), is.....not......a....stranger.......*gasp*......he's my........he's........my......
Meanwhile, (Y/N) stops fighting John and sees Weiss getting choked. (Y/N) punches John away, dashes down, kicks Lucy away, and grabs Weiss.
(Y/N): You alright!
Weiss: (Y/N).....*cough* *cough*
Lucy: (Y/N)! We're trying to save the world! Why, can't you understand that?!
(Y/N): (slowly puts Weiss down) Killing everyone is not saving the world!
(Y/N) dashes towards Lucy and punches her, causing her to fly against the crates. Lucy makes an ice spear and aims it at (Y/N). Then quickly changed her mind and aims it at Weiss. (Y/N) notices it, grabs Weiss and puts her to where the others are also lying down.
Lucy, instead of throwing the spear, she makes some icicles and throws them at their direction. (Y/N) blocks every hit with his barrier. The police started firing at Lucy, which it did no damage made her turn her focus on to them, and throws the icicles towards Ironwood.
(Y/N): NOOO!
(Y/N) dashes towards in front of Ironwood taking the hit. Every icicle the was thrown were jammed through (Y/N)'s entire body.
(Y/N): GAAAHH! SHIT!
Team RWBY and Sun are stunned by the amount of blood that was coming out of (Y/N). (Y/N), still has icicles in his body, dashes to Lucy and kicks her, causing her to fly against one of the crates again.
As (Y/N) pulls the icicles out of his body, John drops back down and starts charging his fire beam.
John: THIS IS THE END, (Y/N)!
(Y/N) charges his lightning beam.
(Y/N): OVER MY DEAD BODY!
The two warriors fire their beams at each other.
The beams' light surrounds the entire area, and making the ground shake.
Sun: WHAT THE HELL?!
Blake: CAN ANYONE SEE ANYTHING?!
Ruby: IT'S TOO BRIGHT!
Weiss: (Y/N)...
Policeman: Sir, are you alright?
Ironwood not answering while he watches the fight.
Meanwhile John and (Y/N) struggling to push each other back, and finally (Y/N) puts everything he has on his attack.
(Y/N): HIIIYYAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The fight is over. John got down on his knees, and (Y/N) slowly approaches him.
John: (looks up to Y/N) I guess there is hope after all. *smiles*
(Y/N): (reverts back) Huh?
John starts to fade into ashes slowly, as he smiles in front of (Y/N). (Y/N) touches John's head to see what he meant. (Y/N) finds out the reason why John destroyed the world is because he thought it is better to be gone, than to be in Mercer's hands.
(Y/N): John....
John: Make him pay, (Y/N).
John fades away, as (Y/N) stood there shocked at what he saw in John's memories, he then snaps back to reality by Lucy's voice.
Lucy: NO!
Everyone focuses on Lucy, who is crying.
Lucy: You killed him! He........He......HE WAS MY EVERYTHING! He was my equal.......
(Y/N): Lucy....
Lucy makes an ice dagger and point it at her stomach.
Lucy: I cannot not live without him....
(Y/N): LUCY N-
Lucy stabbed her self in the stomach and drags it across until the dagger is out of the stomach.
(Y/N): FUCK!!
================================================================================
Later, a handful of police cars are at the docks, where everyone sits there in silence. (Y/N) approaches team RWBY.
(Y/N): Hey, you guys alright.
The team didn't answer, and didn't make eye contact, Sun is curious of what is happening.
(Y/N): Guys?
The team walks away from (Y/N)'s opposite direction, Weiss was the first to get beside and while she's walking she said.
Weiss: You are unbelievable. (bumps Y/N on the shoulder)
Next is Blake, who is just looking down, Yang, who is facing the other way, and finally Ruby, who is on the verge of tears, stops beside (Y/N) for moment.
Ruby: Why do you always do this?
(Y/N): Huh?
Ruby then starts running towards her team, with tears dropping down her cheeks. (Y/N) turns to look at team RWBY walking away, while Sun got beside him.
(Y/N): Did I do anything wrong?
Sun: I don't know. (hands behind his head) But that's women for ya, am I right?
(Y/N) ignores the joke and starts contemplating.
Sun: Too soon? (again didn't answer) OK.
(Time Skip)
The day after the event with the Schnee dusts. (Y/N) was called on to Ozpin's office, where (Y/N) is standing in front of the desk, Ozpin sitting in front of the desk, along with Glynda and Ironwood beside him, who is standing up.
Ozpin: So I've heard you saved my friend here. (points at Ironwood)
(Y/N): Yes sir.
Ozpin: Well, I called you here because Ironwood has something to say.
Ironwood: Ahem...I wanted to thank you, about yesterday, without you being there I would've been dead by now. I am forever in your debt, (Y/N) (L/N).
(Y/N): Uhhhh....(Y/N) is fine, thank you.
Ironwood: (turns to Ozpin) So. This is the man who found the Apple of Eden?
Ozpin: That is him.
Ironwood: I see. (walks around and looks at Y/N from head to toe) With such skill, and power, makes it quite obvious. (stops in front of Y/N) Not to mention he looks just like his father.
(Y/N): Uhm, thank you?
Ozpin: Well (stands up) come Ironwood we have much to discuss. (gets in the elevator with Ironwood) Let me show around. You'll be very surprised.....
As the elevator closes. Glynda notices (Y/N) is not feeling well today.
Glynda: Is something wrong, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): (snaps back to reality) Huh? Y-Yeah, I-I mean n-no, why'd you ask?
Glynda raises an eyebrow.
(Y/N): *sighs* OK....(walks in front of the window) maybe something is wrong....
Glynda: (gets beside Y/N) What is it?
(Y/N): It's.......it's team RWBY.
Glynda: What exactly about them that bothers you?
(Y/N): They....wouldn't talk to me....since last night.
Glynda: I'm willing to bet it's because of last night.
(Y/N): (turns to Glynda) Why? What did I do wrong?
Glynda: You keep fighting, (Y/N).
(Y/N): ....?
Glynda: You're nice person, you always put your friends first before you, and you always help them with their problems. You keep sacrificing yourself, for others.
(Y/N) looks down in thought. Glynda slowly lift his chin up for them to make eye contact, and touches his cheek.
Glynda: It's never bad to help others, (Y/N). But that doesn't give you the reason to hurt yourself.
(Y/N): (turns back towards window) I'm not hurting myself.
Glynda: Well, even if you're not. You gotta understand that there are people who's heart breaks just from seeing you get hurt.
(Y/N) falls silent as he stares at the dorm through the window. Glynda puts both of her hands on both of (Y/N)'s shoulders, gets close to his ear and said.
Glynda: That's all the lecture, I'm giving you for today.
Glynda lets go and leaves the office, leaving a contemplating (Y/N).
(Time Skip)
From day to night. The scene transitions from (Y/N) looking through the window to looking at the room of team RWBY. (Y/N) sighs as he is about to knock, but caught his attention to Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Hey, (Y/N).
(Y/N): (turns to Pyrrha) Hey....Pyrrha....
Pyrrha: I-I heard everything from Yang.
(Y/N): I see....
Pyrrha puts her hand on (Y/N) shoulder.
Pyrrha: Don't worry, they'll forgive.
(Y/N): You really think so?
Pyrrha: Well.... all I know is that they're really worried.
(Y/N): I see...thanks Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Good luck! (gets inside her room)
(Y/N) breathes deeply, then finally knocks on the door. The door opens, revealing Ruby.
Ruby: (Y/N)?
(Y/N): H-Hey, Ruby...
Ruby: H-Hey...
(Y/N): M-May I....
Ruby: Y-Yeah, s-sure come in.
(Y/N) gets inside the room of team RWBY. Weiss is sitting on her bed, Yang is lying on hers, which is top bunk, and Blake is sitting on hers which is the low bunk.
(Y/N): (Bunk Beds?)
Yang: (Y/N)?
Blake is looking down, and Weiss is looking outside the window.
(Y/N): I.....I don't even know how to begin....
Weiss: Why?
(Y/N): ..?
Blake: Why do you always hurt yourself?
(Y/N): Guys....
Yang: (drops down) Whenever someone's in trouble you always dash in and take the hit.
Weiss: You're so selfish.
(Y/N): ....!
Ruby: You're always there for us, (Y/N). You always have.
Yang: Yet you never give us a chance to repay you.
Weiss: (turns to Y/N) We want to help you to, you know!
Blake: (stands up) But you keep hiding your problems.
(Y/N): I...
Yang: We don't even know your side of the story.
Weiss: So this is where we ask of you.
Ruby: What do you want from us?
(Y/N): .....
Weiss: (stands up) We know that behind that smile, you're in a lot of pain.
(Y/N): ..!
Blake: (Y/N), please. All we want is to make you feel better. The same thing you did for us...For me.
Ruby: Be happy with us.
Yang: Yet all you do is pretend to be happy.
A brief silence, until finally (Y/N) lays his back against the door and speaks.
(Y/N): *sighs* I'm not used to being wanted. That's never happened to me before. I don't have a clue what to do about it. Often I think relationships are just confusing. Sometimes I even distance myself from others. I've had friends, but never close friends. I never told anyone about my problems, because I believed it is better to just deal with it on your own, than to let others be part of it.
Ruby: (Y/N)...
(Y/N): (looks down) I mean--"It's my burden to bare, why do you even care?" That's my motto.
RWBY: ....
(Y/N): *sighs* Three years back in my world, I was with a group of survivors. Everyone of them has a family to find. And.....and.....everyone of them......
Tears starts to roll down (Y/N)'s cheeks.
Yang: (Y/N)....
(Y/N): Not a......single....one got to their family.....because of me......They saved me....just to give me a second chance.....And for what? To see my family again? My family was already dead before they even killed themselves!
(Y/N) trying to hold in his tears.
(Y/N): And everyday I keep asking myself "Was I worth it?" "Was I worth saving?"..........They saved me......They saved A STUPID KID! A STUPID, USELESS KID! Not to mention my....my.....
An image flashes before (Y/N)'s eyes.
(Y/N): My sister committed suicide, because she was infected! Just to keep me safe!
The team are on the verge of tears.
(Y/N): Why? Why did they save me?!
RWBY: .....
(Y/N): Why am I still alive?!
Blake: (Y/N)...
(Y/N): I'm nothing!
Weiss: Stop....
(Y/N): WHY CAN'T I JUST DIE?!
Weiss quickly slaps him as soon as she heard that. (Y/N) pauses for a second, then slowly turns to Weiss.
Weiss is looking at (Y/N), trying her best not to cry, even though clearly there are tears dropping down from her eyes. Same goes for the rest of the team.
Weiss: Why? How could you say that to yourself?!
(Y/N): .....Why shouldn't I be.....All my life......all I've ever did is get people in trouble........
(Y/N) looks down and falls to his knees.
(Y/N): I never helped those people.....All I did is just cower in the corner......and watched them die....I.....I.....
Ruby dashes to (Y/N) to hug him tightly, to make him stop talking.
Ruby: (crying while hugging him) Please......stop.....
(Y/N): I....I....
Then all of team RWBY starts to hug (Y/N) while also crying.
Yang: Just.....shut up....please....
(Y/N): ....I....
Blake: (Y/N).....
(Y/N) couldn't hold it any longer then finally burst out crying.
(Y/N): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
================================================================================
After thirty full minutes, they finally calmed down. Weiss is sitting beside Ruby on her bed, Blake is sitting beside Yang on her bed, and (Y/N) is laying back on the bookshelf, with his arms crossed.
Yang: Wow.....sounds like you've had it rough.
(Y/N): Yeah.....I'd wish to hell that I'd forget all of it.....
Blake: Well, I'm glad you shared it with us, (Y/N).
(Y/N): Girls.....I-
Weiss hugs (Y/N) cutting him mid-sentence.
Weiss: You're forgiven.
This (Y/N) by surprise, then all of team RWBY again hugs (Y/N). As (Y/N) hugs back all of them lets go and smiles at each other.
(Y/N): You girls really are something.
Yang: Just trust us into helping you, (Y/N).
Ruby: Yeah! Never underestimate Team RWBY!
(Y/N): *chuckles* I'll keep that in mind.
Weiss: (points a finger at Y/N) Well you should. We may not be a team, but we're all friends. Got that?!
(Y/N): *chuckles* Yes, Ma'am! (salutes)
Weiss: And by the way.
(Y/N): Yeah?
Weiss grabs (Y/N) by the ear.
(Y/N): OOW! OW! OW! OW!
Weiss: What is this about--you sleeping with Blake?!
(Y/N): W-Wait! Where did yo-
Weiss twists his ear.
(Y/N): OOOOWWOWOWOW!
Weiss: Answer the question! To think you'd assault someone....ESPECIALLY ONE OF MY TEAMMATES!
Blake: (quickly stands up) Wait! Weiss, it's not (Y/N)'s fault. I just felt lonely, that's all.
WY: LONELY?! *blushes*
Ruby: Huh?
Blake: *blush* Even though he did touch my......
(Y/N): Blake! Your killing me!
Weiss lets go of (Y/N)'s ear, then dark auras surrounds her.
Weiss: Why, you!
Yang: Never thought you'd be this bold.
(Y/N): IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!
Yang grabs (Y/N)'s right arm, and looks at him with her eyes half open.
Yang: But why would you pick her if you already have me?
(Y/N): *blush* T-That's not what ha-
Weiss grabs (Y/N)'s left arm.
Weiss: Yang, that's enough!
Yang pulls (Y/N) towards her.
Yang: Why?
Weiss pulls (Y/N) towards her.
Weiss: B-Because.....Y-you're not making him feel well!
Blake: You guys! Stop!
Weiss & Yang: (to Blake) You be quiet!
(Y/N): Ruby! A little help here!
Ruby is facing the corner with her hand pressed on the wall while looking down, as her entire body turned gray.
(Y/N): (Seriously?!)
Yang lets go of (Y/N) and says:
Yang: So who wants cookies?!
Ruby turns to us with her hands cupped to her chin, with starry eyes.
Ruby: Cookies?!
Yang then puts her arm around the happy Red.
Yang: Yup! You too guys!
Yang grabs both Weiss and Blake.
Weiss: Hey! Let go of me!
Blake: W-Wha-
(Y/N) then sees the opportunity to escape as he approaches the door.
Weiss: (to Y/N) Hey! I'm not done with you yet, you pervert!
Yang: Weiss, come on lets just calm down.
(Y/N) gets out of the room. Before he walks back to his room he stares at team RWBY for a moment and happily smiles.
(Y/N): (I'm really glad I met you girls.)

Epilogue
It's lovely morning in Beacon Academy, birds chirping, wind is blowing, leaves flying, it's a lovely and quiet day. Until a little dragon decides to do something very exciting.
(Y/N POV)
(Y/N): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! (heard throughout the dorm)
Yang: Geez, you sure are a light sleeper~
(Y/N): Y-Yang?!
I was standing up until Yang pushes me down and gets on top of me.
Yang: Uh Uh Uh~ This time, you're not going anywhere~
(Y/N): *blush* UH......Uhmmm...
Yang: You didn't answer my question last night. Why were you sleeping with Blake?
(Y/N): I told you it was-
Yang: (puts finger on his lips) Shhhh. I guess it doesn't matter.
Yang then slides her finger down to my neck.
(Y/N): Y-Yang...
Yang: I guess we could make this even~ *winks*
Yang continues to slide her finger down my chest, down my stomach, then down my.....
(Y/N): Y-Yang! Wait!
Weiss: (aggressively opens Y/N's door) (Y/N)! What hap-
Yang: (A brief silence until she turns to Weiss and speaks) *scoffs* Things were just getting interesting you know!
Weiss: YANG?!
Ruby then dashes in to the scene.
Ruby: What's goi-
Yang: Morning Sis!
Ruby: YANG?!
The two gets inside my room. Weiss then points her Myrtenaster on my face.
Weiss: You better not-
Before she could even finish, we notice that there is something moving under the covers on my left side. I grab the sheets and uncover the thing and it was Blake.
(Y/N) & RWY: Blake?!
Blake slowly opens her eyes as she moans, she then wipes her eyes and sees us looking at her.
After a few seconds, Blake then looks at me, hugs me then decides to get back to sleep. Caught me and everyone by surprise.
(Y/N): B-Blake!
Blake: *groans* Just five more minutes....
(Y/N): Uhh....
Blake *moans* You're so warm~
(Y/N): I.....Uhh.....
Yang also decides to hug me.
Yang: Hey! No fair! You got here before me?! (to Y/N) Wow.....you are warm....
Ruby: Is he?!
Ruby jumps up.
Weiss: Ruby!
Weiss jumps up to try and stop Ruby but the two ended up landing on my stomach.
(Y/N): AGHAAHH! *coughs* *coughs*
Ruby: Wow.....
Weiss: S-So warm....
(Y/N): C-Can't......move.....
Jaune coming inside the door.
Jaune: (Y/N), come onewe're gonna be- .....OH, I'll leave you to it. (leaves)
(Y/N): JAUNE, WAIT! Uggh.... (I'm seriously gonna die if this keeps happening!)
