Chapter 9 - Black and White and Orange

"Blake" yelled Ruby in a worried way

"Rex" yelled Yang in a worried way also.

"Blake and Rex" said Weiss in a carefree attitude.

"Weiss. You're not helping" said Ruby in frustration.

"Oh you know who would be a big help. The police" said Weiss in a nonchalant way as ruby just grumbled at her in frustration.

"It was just a suggestion. And besides why are you worried about Rex anyway. I'm sure he's fine. He can handle himself."

"But that doesn't mean we still can't be worried about him. Plus I think that we need to hear Blake's side of the story" said Yang.

"And I think that when we hear it, you'll realize I was right."

"And I think that Weiss hair looks great today" said a voice from behind and scaring the girls.

"Penny where did you come from" said ruby in a scared voice.

"Hey guys. What are you up to" said Penny, ignoring Ruby.

"We're looking for Blake and Rex. They disappeared on Friday" said Yang.

"Oh you mean the weird boy and Faunus girl" said Penny.

The girl looked at each other in surprise and Ruby said "Wait how did you know that."

Penny pointed at her head and said "the cat ears."

"What cat ears. She wears a... booow" said Yang, realizing what she meant. The team stood in silent as ruby broke it saying "She does eat tuna a lot."

"So where are they" said Penny.

"We don't know. They've been missing since Friday" said ruby, answering Penny's question.

Penny gasped and walked to Ruby and held her shoulders, weirding Ruby out, saying "That is terrible. Well don't worry Ruby. I won't rest until we find your teammates."

Ruby tried her best to tell Penny that they were ok but Yang and Weiss had left her alone with Penny. They stood in silence until Penny broke it saying "sure is windy today."

On the other side of Vale

"So what's the plan" said Sun as he and Blake walked down the street.

"I still don't believe that the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed this much dust" said Blake.

"Well what if they did. I mean the only way to know 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" said Sun stumbling with what he was saying.

"Problem is I have no idea where that would be" said Blake shrugging her shoulders.

Sun began to think then remembered his ship travel and said "While I was on the boat, I heard some people say about offloading some dust before."

"How big."

"Huge. Like a Schnee cargo crates" as he expanded his arms out.

"Then I guess that's where we'll look" said Blake as the two began their journey to the docks.

Timeskip

Night had fallen on the docks of Vale as Sun and Blake were standing on the roof of a building. Blake told Sun that they offloaded the crates and that they were just sitting there. As she explained that, a big plane came down from the sky

And landed in the yard. As it landed, the docking bay got he plane opened and people began walking out.

Blake looked closer at the people and groaned.

"Is that them" said Sun.

"Yes. It's them" said Blake in worry

"You didn't think it would be them, did you" said sun.

"I mean I did. But part of me knew it could happen."

They then heard a man yelling at them and Blake knew who it was, Roman Torchwick. 

"Hurry up. We're not the most inconspicuous group of thieves at all so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace" said Roman in his authoritative manner.

Blake was shocked to see that a human was working with the White Fang.

"This is bad. The White Fang would never align themselves with a human. Especially one like him" said Blake as she jumped off the building and ran towards the crates.

She turned a corner and saw the members walking towards the door as well as Torchwick. She then heard a noise of something falling down and making a big sound. Then she heard Torchwick say,

"Dang it, you stupid mutt. We're already taking a big risk here, so try and be more quite. We'll track more attention to us."

Blake held her blade in her hands tight as she was about to try and take him down until she heard an echoing voice say

"Yea, no kidding. You guys are so loud, I'm surprised the whole town ain't wake."

Torchwick and the white fang looked around at the mysterious voice and he yelled

"Alright, bucko. Where are you. This ain't the time for fun and games" as he held his cane like a gun. They all then heard the voice chuckle as it echoed over the docks.

"Oh so you want to play games, huh, Ok, how about some jokes."

Roman chuckled as he said

"The only joke here will be how you die, Bub. Now show your self."

The voice chuckled as they said,

"Ok then. What is the difference between a guy falling from the first floor and one from the ninth" echoed the voice.

No one seemed to guess the persons answer for a while until the person said

"The first one goes 'thud...aaaaaaaah', " then the person stopped for a bit as they said

"whereas the other goes aaaaaaaah..." and as the person held out their scream, it sounded like it was getting closer to them. In a quick reaction they all looked up and saw something falling, and that something was carrying the scream. It was getting closer and closer to the ground and just as it hit the ground it made a ginormous

"THHHUUUUUUUDDDD" boomed the voice as a giant dust cloud filled the docks, causing some of the people there to fall down. They gathered themselves up and when the dust cleared, Roman and the white fang were stumped at what they saw. There stood a boy, in his teens, and was wearing giant metal boots.

"Now that's how you tell a joke" said the boy as his boots suddenly disappeared into his legs. Roman was surprised but this. He had never seen a kid do what he had just done.

"What the hell are you, kid" he asked in shock.

Rex just gave him his usual smirk and said

"Your worst nightmare" as he grew his Smack hands and gave Roman one powerful punch, which caused him to hit the crates that Blake was at. The White fang readied their guns but were too slow as Rex just quickly swatted them away like bugs and sent them flying.

Roman slowly got up and was about to fire at Rex until he felt a cold metal touch his neck. He turned to see Blake holding her blade over his neck as he grunted in annoyance. Blake looked at the members that he slowly gotten back up and aimed their guns at them and Rex, who still had his Smack hands out. She then took off her bow revealing her ears and surprising Rex.

"Brothers of the White Fang. Why are aiding this scum." The Fang looked away from heroes down as Roman just laughed.

"Oh kids. Didn't you get the memo. The White Fang and I are going on a little joint business venture together."

"Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little business operation."

As she finished the both of them heard the sounds of jet engines and saw two fighter jets above them and began circling them.

"Well I wouldn't call it a small operation" said Roman smugly.  As the both of them looked up, Roman smiled and fired his cane at the ground launching her away.

"BLAKE" yelled Rex. He then looked at Roman and punched him hard which made him crash into the buildings wall, knocking him out.

The streets of vale

Penny and Ruby were walking down the streets, away from the docks, but then they heard a big explosion and turned to see dark clouds behind them.

Ruby knew something was wrong as she said

"Oh no."

Back at the docks

Rex ran over to Blake and began to help her up as Fang members began shooting them but Rex quickly formed his Block party and shielded them both from the bullets. He looked back at Blake and asked,

"Are you ok" said Rex.

"Yea. Just a little banged up. Thanks again" she said as she saw a new build she had never seen before.

"That's a new one. Pretty handy in this situation. How many builds do you have exactly" said Blake with hint of curiousness.

"Enough to win this" he said but then they saw one of the Fang got a banana peel to the face as Sun jumped down off a crate  and fought them off. Blake then saw Sun and joined him as did Rex. Blake then heard a gunshot and saw a crate falling down and yelled "lookout."

They moved quickly but Rex tripped as he ran and was almost crushed. "REX. NOOO" yelled Blake but then Rex formed his giant hands and caught the crate.

As he struggled to hold it up, Sun looked up and saw Roman holding his cane gun at Sun as he was till recovering from Rex's punch. "You really aren't the brightest banana in the bunch are you" said Roman smugly and groggy at same time. He almost pulled the trigger until he heard a "hey."

He turned to his side and saw Ruby standing at the top of the building.

"Are these guys your friends" asked Penny

"Penny stay back" said ruby but was then met with a shot and flew back.

"RUBY. NOOOO" yelled Rex as he then grunted in anger at Roman and told Sun to run as he did.

Then Rex said "you want this dust so bad. Then take it" said Rex as he threw the crate at Roman. Roman ran out of the way but tripped and fell down, grunting in pain.  Rex then looked to his right as he saw someone jumping down from where Ruby was.  It was Penny. And there were... floating swords behind her.

He then saw her throwing her swords around knocking the Fang away.

"Woah" said Sun and Rex in unison.

Blake, Sun, Rex, and Penny all grouped together.

"So what do we do know" said Sun. As he said that, they heard more jets again and saw 3 of them this time. 

Rex then knew what to do. "Ok here's the plan" he said as the others listened to him. "I will do some aerial relay while you guys do some ground work."  The others looked at him in confusion and said "What." 

Rex facepalmed and said "I will fight the jets while you guys fight the Fang in the ground" said in frustration. "Oh" they all said in unison. "Cmon guys. You've got to catch up on these things. Otherwise my clever catchphrases won't work or sound awesome" he said in annoyance while the others just sweat dropped. They broke off and Rex formed his Sky Slyder and charged at the planes.

As he charged at them he formed his BFS and in one slice cut the jets off sending one to the ground. He formed his punk busters and jumped at the next plane. As he drew nearer, he tucked his legs and kicked the wing of the plane, sending the plane to turn on it side and come crashing down. He flew over to the next one and saw some Fang members shooting at him so Rex flew underneath the plane and deactivated it by using his nanites and sending it down with the others.

He then saw another one of the planes about to take off and formed his BFS while still of the Slyder. He charged at one the wings and in one slice he sent the plane crashing down. He then looked over saw Roman was getting away so he quickly zoomed over to the jet as it was taking off and jumped on the roof. He put his hand on the roof and shut down the plane with his nanites, sending it crashing to the ground and into the warehouse. Rex formed his boogie pack before the plan went down

And saw the jet went down and crashed.

Rex looked down at all the planes that he stopped and said "and that's how's pro does it" as he smirked. He then flew over to the others as he saw them regrouping. As he landed, he was tackled by a certain red head. She looked up at him as she squealed saying

"You are so cool. How you took down those planes was so awesome."

"Yea, man. The way you single handily took down those planes on your own was awesome. Cool powers by the way" said Sun as he too was amazed by his talents.

Timeskip

After the guys reunited they tried look through the wreckage of the plane Torchwick was on, but they couldn't find him. They assumed he escaped while they were talking.

Later the police began to arrive and searched the wreckage and began a thorough search of the wreckage while everyone else was waiting on some crates until they were allowed to leave.

As the waited they saw Yang and Weiss walk to to them. Ruby walked over to Weiss and tell her not to get angry but Weiss walked over to Rex and Blake.

Blake spoke first by saying "Weiss look, I'm not with the White Fang anymore. When I was little..."

"Stop" yelled Weiss.

"Rude much. Oh wait look who I'm talking to" thought Rex.

"Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you both.  12 hours, which means I've had twelve hours to think. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..." said Weiss as she got closer to Blake.

"... I don't care".

Blake was surprised by this and Weiss said "but from now on, if something big like this happens, again you talk to your teammates about it, ok". Blake nodded and Ruby cheered saying "yea Team RRWBY is back in business" as the team hugged it out and began walking back to the dorms.

As the team walked back, Blake stopped and walked next to Rex saying "Thank you, Rex. For helping me and stopping the White Fang."

Rex smiled at Blake and said "Sure. After all you don't leave your teammates alone. We stick together and we have each other's backs" as he looked at her with confidence.

Blake was happy and smiled at what he said. When she first met him, she was skeptical as she had not met a man with abilities like his but she could see that he was a great person to have in a fight. She still had questions but those could wait.

As she was thinking about Rex, she remembered that he had popped out that crate when he kicked Roman in the face. She then began to wonder how he got int there or how he possibly knew that they would open that crate. She then turned back to Rex as she said

"Hey Rex that reminds me, where did you come from. I mean at the docks, you just came falling out of the sky. How did you know you know they were there"

"I was on top of the docks cranes and thought it'd be fun to scar them. And as to how, I had been searching for you all throughout Vale but I hadn't checked out the docks. And when I saw that big, jet thing flying ahead, I could already get some weird vibes from it, so I decided to check it out low and behold I was right."

Blake wasn't sure if he was lying or not cause of his cocky attitude but decided to let it slide since he did help her out with stopping the white fang.

Rex and Blake were about to leave with others until he felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around him as he saw Ruby clung to him as she then pleaded,

"The suspense is killing me. Please jus tell us about your powers. They're unlike anything I've seen before. Tell us or I'll permanently glue myself to your arm and bug you till you spill."

Rex looked at his team and knew that he was backed into a corner and he couldn't escape as his team was staring at him. Rex knew there was no way out of this so he knew what he had to do.

"Well it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just more of a... difficult thing to talk about" said Rex as he pointed his fingers together.

The girls looked at each other in confusion.

"What do you mean you" said Weiss

"I mean like who I am. What my powers are" said Rex as he looked down.

"Wait does that mean" said ruby in surprise and happiness.

"Yes ruby. I will tell you about me and my powers. It's time for the truth. But let's get a back to the dorms. I'm beat. I need it lie down. So let's go" said Rex as blue lines appeared on his legs and formed his rider.

"We'll get there a lot faster with this now hop on."

The girls complied but began to feel little nervous as the way Rex was talking made it feel like they wouldn't like where it was going. They all hoped on as Yang sat in the front of Rex and smirked at him, making Rex blush and they drove off to Beacon.

Meanwhile

Roman was dragging his feet and grunting in pain as he was still hurting from the battle. He walked into a white building and dragged his way and sat on a chair. He wheezed in relaxation until he was surprised by a voice that he want expecting.

"Oh my. You don't look so good. What's wrong. Did you get roughed by a few dogs" said a woman with black hair, wearing a velvet dress with sleeves that resembled fire.

"Don't laugh at me. I've had my hands full of weird kids. And one of those kids. This boy. He-he just... took down our entire jets and I almost died so don't go mocking me" yelled Roman until he realized what he had said and saw the lady holding a flame in her hand  and scolded at him saying "are you threatening me" she said with fire in her voice.

"O-Oh no of course not sorry. I've just had my hands full and those stupid mutts from the white fang couldn't even stop them."

Then the lady came forward saying "And you will continue to work with them until further notice." As she walked towards him he saw two other people. A boy with grey hair and a girl with green hair.

"We have big plans for you Roman. All we ask is a little cooperation." She then began to pull up a chair and sat next to Roman saying "But this boy. I don't say this often but he has peaked my interests. About how he took down our jets. And how he made you into this mess. Tell what kind of boy did you come across and how did he stop this operation of ours" said the lady as fire lit up her eyes.
