Interlude one: Yang-splosion and a Weiss Age


White Fang Citadel, Two weeks later.

Cinder hummed to herself as she looked over the info Agent Hare had brought back from Winter Schnee's- No Rose's showcase of the Dustless Exosuit.

"This definitely has little Red's handiwork all over it." Cinder licked her lips as she looked at the picture of Ruby's Babar, covered in blood and gore. "Truly this is a marvel… I simply must add her to my collection, getting her away from the elder Schnee will be…problematic…though."

Flicking through the rest of the Intel her rabbit had gathered she started formulating a plan, when she noticed something peculiar, both Winter Rose and Ruby Rose had not aged a day, quickly she flicked through the last set of photos her trigger agents had gotten five and a half years ago.

Comparing the photos from then and now they were an exact match, not even their hair had changed. "Well well well what have we here, they really haven't aged a day, this will be worth looking into."

Smiling an evil smile she stared at the pictures then she threw her head back and started laughing.

"Oh I can't wait things are finally getting interesting, show me more little Rose, I'm sure you're hiding more than being just un-aging. In fact I'm willing to bet you and your lover have stumbled across the very thing I've been looking for."


*SMASH* A table crashed into the wall splintering into pieces.

"What the hell do you mean my sister is married to a Schnee, and that it's NOT Weiss!"

Yang was a literal inferno as she listened to Velvet make her report to the inner circle, her hair had caught fire and she was actually melting the concrete around her.

"It's just as I said Yang, Winter Schnee is in charge of Dauntless…and married to your sister, I can't change it anymore then you can." Velvets face was one of anger also, as if the thought of the girl she thought of as a younger sister being married to one of the people regarded as the worst criminals in the history of Remnant was revolting.

"Hey! Goldilocks turn it down, you're gonna burn through the damn floor at this rate." Coco sauntered up to the two with her hands on her hips, her words snapping Yang out of her Rage induced haze. "I don't like it anymore then you do, Lil'Red was my student after all, hell other than the Ice bitch she's the only one of our group to have not defected."

"Why is that anyways, Red always seemed like the kind of person that sticks with her friends, and with you being her sister I highly doubt she would have let you go without a fight." Roman Torchwick drawled while tapping the ash from his cigar into an ashtray.

All the fire Yang seemed to have in her died out suddenly. "That's the problem Torchy, We, as in all of us that defected from Beacon, let Weiss get her hooks deep into Ruby, we were so busy trying to keep her out of everything and trying to keep her from finding out that we literally drove her into the Princesses arms."

Coco and Velvet both seemed taken back by this, before Coco snarls out. "The hell you mean blondie we all care for her and would have brought her along in a heartbeat if we could have."

"Yea the thing is while we were out there acting as double agents sabotaging Schnee hardware and funneling dust to Cinder, Weiss was molding Ruby into something she desired. By third year Ruby was firmly in Weiss's pocket and nothing was going to change that."

Yang seemed to shrink into herself here, a look of loathing on her face.

"It's not like I didn't ask her to come with me when mine and Blake's cover was blown, hell even Blake wanted to knock her out and kidnap her. It was doomed to fail though; Weiss had gotten to her first when the news broke, it wasn't pretty there's a reason I have this scar from the left shoulder down to the bottom right of my back."

Velvets eye's widened comically at Yang's admission. "Wait you mean to tell me RUBY, Sweet little Ruby is the one that almost killed you and Blake when you fled here."

"Yeah she had a new modification on-"

"Enough."

Yang was cut off as Cinder walked into the room, Emerald following her like usual.

"I'm glad you're all still interested in Ruby, in fact that's great news because you all, all of the Beacon agents that is, have a new mission, Capture Ruby Rose, and Eliminate Winter Schnee."

"GRAHHHH, that conniving bitch I knew she was up to something when she said she was retiring, all that work I put into getting Ruby molded the way I wanted her, the work I put into making her totally submissive to my whims all wasted because of my own SISTER!"

Weiss raged, any façade she had before of being the loving girlfriend, the Schnee Ceo, or the perfectionist, gone as her true self, one who had been molding the Red Clad Reaper for years before her disappearance emerged.

"I should never have humored her when she told me I was pushing Ruby away, did she think I didn't know that, please a couple more months and Ruby would have been broken completely after that last 'Fight' we had."

Pacing around she trying to think of a way to salvage the mess she had found herself in, fifteen years' worth of plans down the drain, and what did she have to show for it. No Rose ready to cater to her every whim, a dying company, and a sister who had stolen said Rose.

"Huff..Huff, I can still salvage this, it won't be easy but I can seduce Ruby back, then I'll make sure she knows her place as MY wife, if Winter thinks she's going to keep my Ruby she's got another thing coming."

With a plan formulating Weiss was confident whatever method Winter had used to break Ruby's conditioning would pale in comparison to what she's going to do to ensure Ruby's loyalty once again…even if that meant using the glyphs on her once more, it was for her own good after all.

A Reapers place was to kneel at her Queen's feet loyal and steadfast.


And so ends Interlude one, this may surprise most of you who read the first chapter but this was actually what I had planned for Weiss all along, I mean all her classmates with skills Defect and she risks alienating the one she's dating after they graduate?

No Weiss has a problem with loyalty, she wanted to break Ruby completely and utterly so Ruby would only ever be loyal to her, she knew Ruby wanted to pop the question to her, and wanted to use it to finally break her, she just didn't account for Winter.

The next chapter should be up within a week...depending on how busy my schedule is, all it needs is editing.
