RWBY VOLUME 4: Destiny

Super excited to see what Volume 4 of RWBY will give to us. So while we wait, I thought I'd make my own Fanfic. So, I hope you will like it. And if u have tips for the future, leave them in your reviews.

The story is basically my take on what Volume 4 could look like, so this will contain spoilers from the previous volumes.

RWBY Volume 4: Destiny

Prologue

A pair of Lilac eyes are staring at a mirror. Once were eyes of happiness, now shows eyes of sadness and anger. The girl with long, bright-golden yellow hair continues to stare at the mirror. Then in her own vision, everything fades away.

1 Week Earlier- During the Battle of Beacon

Yang hears a shriek of pain. She turns to see a man with a red sword stabbing her friend, Blake Belladona, in her abdomen. Her anger rises.

"Get away from her!" Yang yells at the man, Adam Taurus, a name she learns later on.

Not hearing Blake's pleads, Adam smiles and sheathes his sword. In her fit of rage, Yang's Lilac eyes turn red, her hair glowed, and her aura explodes. Using Ember Celica, she launched herself towards Adam, preparing to punch him. Then in a flash, Adam swipes his sword, and Yang starts to rotate. She then sees an arm flying in the air. It was her right arm. Realizing what had just transpired, the shock causes her to pass out.

PRESENT DAY

Yang's eyes changed to anger, enough that eyes turn red. She turns her head to look at where he right arm used to be, now only consisting of a stump wrapped in bandages. Yang then looks at the mirror, and with all her anger, she proceeds to punch with her left arm, causing the mirror to shatter, and fall to pieces. Yang then looks at her hand, with small cuts on the wrist, and blood flowing from the wounds. Ignoring the pain, she walks out of her bathroom, and sits on her bed.

"Yang?" A familiar voice is heard.

Yang looks up to see her sister, Ruby Rose. She was wearing matching dark-gray long-sleeved shirt and pants with faded-red polka dots. She looked like, she just woke up. When she looked at Yang's hand, Ruby's eye silver eyes widen up. She then looked at the shatter mirror and sighed.

"Yang..."

"Don't even ask!" Yang answered, bitterly.

"Well, at least let me clean up your wounds!" Ruby demanded.

Yang stares at her sister few a few seconds, before finally saying "Fine!"

Minutes later, after stitching her wounds, Ruby is bandaging Yang's hand.

"Didn't you at least feel any pain?" Ruby asked.

Yang looks at her sister.

"You hand, I mean." Ruby said, pointing at Yang's hand.

"...I can handle it!" Yang bitterly answered, then looks at her stump. "I've had to live with pain the past few days."

Ruby finishes bandaging up Yang's hand, put the first aid kit away in a nearby shelf, and proceeds to wash her hands, while also trying to avoid the glass shards on the floor.

"Were you able to contact Weiss?" Yang asked.

Ruby is hesitant to ask. She know that if Yang asks about their teammate, Weiss, then she will ask about Blake, who after witnessing Yang losing her arm, ran away. Her whereabouts are unknown, but Ruby heard of rumors of her hopping the roofs of the dorms of Beacon Academy, which is currently overrun with Grimm. Ruby doesn't want to answer, but having ignored Yang's question so many times, she has to say something.

"Yes" Ruby answered. "Weiss is doing fine, Yang. And before you ask, no. We can't see her nor she can visit us. She's not allowed to leave her home. Her father, worried about her safety and all that."

"Of course." Yang said.

Ever since the CCT tower fell, communication between the Kingdoms was rendered impossible. And to add to the damage, the last images that were seen outside of Vale were of Atlesian Knights attacking innocent civilians, and therefore, casing severe mistrust between the Kingdoms. And to prevent from possible danger, Weiss' father took her back to Atlas, where he thinks it'll be safe for her.

'I'm surprised, she didn't ask about Blake.' Ruby thought.

"How did we end up like this, Ruby?" Yang asks. "Beacon overrun by Grimm. Penny and Pyrrha dying. My arm. How did we not see any of this coming?"

Ruby finishes washing her hands, and proceeds to sit next to Yang on her bed.

"To tell you the truth, it came as a horrifying surprise to all of us, Yang." Ruby answered.

Yang was silent before she asked something that Ruby was hoping to never answer.

"Ruby. You once saw Mercury. After I broke his leg. But he was walking fine. You didn't say anything else after that. I need to know the full details."

"I...I don't know if I can..." Ruby tries to explain.

"Please, Ruby." Yang begged. She clearly wanted some answers. "I need to know."

Ruby stared at Yang a second, then proceeds to explain the events before the Grimm attack.

"Ever since you broke Mercury's leg, things looked bad. But I had hoped things would look better. But Velvet told me that Coco said she saw Yatsuhashi, even though he was already eliminated. It was believed that she simply suffered a hallucination."

"And that was the same to me, with Mercury." Yang realized.

Ruby nodded.

"Exactly. I then saw Emerald in the Coliseum, even though she was supposed to be gone. That's when I investigated and I saw him. Mercury. Walking fine. And when I confronted him, that's when I heard that Pyrrha was going against Penny. And all Mercury said was ' show time'. That's when I knew, he and Emerald were about to do something, terrible. I didn't have Crescent Rose with me, and he destroyed my Scroll. I did my best to fight him, but he was too fast. I ran away. And by the time I got out, I saw Penny..."

Ruby stops, trying to prevent herself from crying, but fails when tears fall from her face. Even when she has the opportunity, Yang doesn't comfort her. Wiping tears from her face, Ruby gets up.

"Did...Did Uncle Qrow tell you what happened on top of the tower?"

Yang looks at the floor, saying "Yes. He did."

She knew what Ruby was talking about. When Ruby got up to the top of the CCT Tower, she witnessed Cinder Fall launched an arrow into Pyrrha Nikos' chest. A red glow came out of the wound. Ruby hopelessly watched as Pyrrha gasped for breath and die. Then in one final act of cruelty, Cinder disintegrated Pyrrha's body, her ashes scattered and all that remained by her bronze circlet, and her shield, Akouo. The shock of witnessing Pyrrha dying, caused her to unleash a power that even she never knew. It froze the giant Grimm that was on top of Beacon Tower. And rumors had spread that a woman in red escaped from the top. Cinder. The power rendered Ruby unconscious, leaving her unable to chase after her. That's when Qrow found her and brought her home to Patch. In addition, Ruby suffers from nightmares from the events of Beacon, and would scream when she wakes up.

"Ruby." Yang talked. "Mercury, Emerald, Cinder Fall, and that mute girl. They are all responsible for what has happened. The events at the tournament and at Beacon, is all because of them. They need to answer for what they've done."

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.

"You know what I mean!" Yang growled.

Ruby then realizes what her sister meant.

"Kill them?"

Yang nods. Even if Ruby doesn't want to agree with Yang's method, somehow a part of her wants to.

"Even if I could, I can't. Whatever power I brought out took a tremendous amount of energy from me. I'm even lucky enough to be walking today. Uncle Qrow said it could be a while until I am fully able to walk out of here."

"Well." Yang said. "When you do, make sure you go with those trust. Ren. Nora." She was hesitant when she said "Jaune." Even she knew that bringing a broken Jaune, would be a risky, as he is still grieving for Pyrrha.

"What about you?" Ruby asked.

Yang looks at Ruby with confusion. "Me?"

Ruby smiled."Yeah. I feel like an adventure would help lift your spirits up."

Yang gets up and walks close to Ruby, whose smile fades away.

"What good am I to anyone?" Yang angrily asked. "Do you honestly think I can fight with only one arm?" She sits back on her bed. "No. I'm useless."

"You're not useless, Yang." Ruby assured. "If you keep doubting yourself, then you will let it..."

"Ruby!" Yang yelled. "Look at me! Look at this!" She lifts her stump up, showing it to Ruby. "I have one goddamn arm, now! I can't do anything, let alone fight! The only things I can do, is eat, brush my teeth, and sleep. That's ALL I can do!"

Ruby stays silent.

"Just go, Ruby."

Ruby tries to talk to her.

"GO!" Yang yelled.

Ruby got scared of her sister yelling at home. She remains standing for a few seconds, before leaving the room. Yang looks at the floor, angry and sad at the same time. She knows that going with Ruby would be a bad idea for her. Her fighting style is only effective with both arms. But with one arm? No. Yang then begins to cry. Zwei enters the room, who whimpers and jumps on Yang. Zwei licks Yang's face, sits down, and lie next to her feet. Yang wipes her tears from her face, and the proceeds to pet Zwei in the head.

"I really wish, I wasn't so helpless." Yang said to Zwei. "If only there was a way."

WINTER

Ruby has her outfit with her Red cloak on, with Crescent Rose tucked into her cloak and a backpack on. She looks outside of her hallway of her home. She's making sure that her father, Taiyang is nowhere in her sights. As she sneaks down the hallway, she pasts Yang's open bedroom door.

"He's not home, Ruby." Yang said.

Ruby stops and looks at her sister, lying on her bed, with the blanket on top for warmth. She is looking at the window, sulking and looking depressed, as she had the past couple months.

"Dad's at the supermarket. He'll be back in 15 minutes. 20, if you're lucky."

"Are you sure, you don't want to come along?" Ruby asked. "Last chance."

Yang was silent. When Ruby didn't get an answer, she starts to walk.

"Ruby."

Ruby looks at Yang, who is now looking at her.

"When you're out there, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure. What is it?" Ruby asked.

Yang was silent for a few seconds, before she talks.

"If you find Cinder, her group, or perhaps the man who did this to me...don't miss."

Ruby knew what that meant. But all she can do is give a nod before she goes.

Yang then turns back to the window, where she can see Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, and Nora Valkyrie, waiting from Ruby.

'I wish I could go.' Yang thought. 'I really wish.'
