Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Transmitting Tower

Ruby who just arrived at the entrance of the Transmitting tower began to enter cautiously checking around and saw the two guards at the front door both dead, Ruby at this point knew she couldn't wait and immediately ran towards the center of the tower and saw two more guards dead right next to the elevator. Ruby quickly got in the elevator and hit the second floor and when the elevator doors opened a loud ping echoed throughout the empty floor alerting the thief who currently had their back to Ruby,

she was wearing a sleeveless jacket, long gloves, stiletto heel boots, a black glass mask and several straps with containers of powdered Dust lined across her pants. The gloves, boots, and pants have black mosaic designs that are infused with Dust, which glow bright orange when in use.

and quickly turned around and got in position to attack, Ruby who saw this immediately stuck her scythe into the ground and began to fire at this figure with her sniper bullets, but this figure easily destroyed the bullets before they reached here. Ruby knowing her bullets wouldn't work pulled up her scythe and rushed at the figure who materialized a bow in her hand and shot 3 arrows directed at Ruby she deflected 2 but the 3rd struck her left arm and caused her to slightly stumble due to letting go of her scythe with one hand but quickly stabilized herself but as she looked back up from her second of glancing at the wound and to stabilized herself another 3 arrows where being shot at her and now 2 of the 3 arrows pierced her right arm making her leg go of the scythe which continued to slide across the floor to behind the woman. Ruby who was struggling with the pain and being now defenseless she began to hear a sound of an airship approaching and looked behind her toward it out of habit but as soon as her head turned a second later her vision began to blur and turn to black.

Phyrra who had finally arrived at the Transmitting Tower entered quickly weapons drawn and took the stairs as the Elevator was currently on the second floor, it only took her 20 seconds to climb the stair but by the time she had arrived Phyrra saw some droplets of blood on the floor by the elevator entrance and also Rubys Crescent Rose next to the floors main console and finally a smashed window on the left-hand side of the tower and when Phyrra looked out, she Could she a figure hopping between housed away from the city and looked to be carrying something on her shoulder. Phyrra who just watched Ruby get carried away just walked up to Ruby's weapon before tears began to fall from her face as she began to walk down towards the entrance of the tower with Rubys Crescent Rose in its compressed form in her hand like it was a precious artifact. just as she was about to arrive the sound of a ship began to get closer but still sounded far, Glenda who had arrived ready for a fight only saw Phyrra Tearfully face with Ruby's scythe in hand. Glenda immediately asked "What happened why do you have Ruby's scythe?" and Phyrra who just seems to finally notice Glenda tells her "Ruby had been kidnapped by some unknown person one of them is injured but I think it Ruby and they escaped out of the window they were already lone gone by the time I arrived I only saw the direction they headed but they are probably gone now." Phyrra replied slowly trying to calm her breathing back down to normal levels, by the time Phyrra finally got the story out Ironwood had just arrived and jumped out of the Shuttle and asked the same question as Glenda. once they had both heard the story Glenda messaged Ozpin the story and that Ruby had been kidnapped. Jaune who was still waiting by Ozpin for the news saw that his face turned dark and spoke aloud "this-this is not good if She finds out what she is..." Jaune could barely hear what he had said but was still confused about what it meant and asked "what happened?" to which Jaune's face crumpled when he heard the reply "Ruby has been captured.".

The mysterious woman who had Just captured Ruby ran across the rooftops and made sure to avoid any patrols and made sure she is not detected. once she could guarantee that she had escaped, she began to make her way to one of the White Fang's hideouts. once she had arrived she found an unused Grimm cage and threw Ruby roughly in before locking the cage, Ruby was still unconscious and just lay inside the cage. The mysterious Figure finally takes off her mask and heads over to Roman. "I've got a prisoner you will be surprised who it is but ill be taking her away next week but you're free to use her for the week for demonstration or to show off." Roman replied, "finally arrive again Cinder Your too kind bringing me a present." Roman then poked his head round to look at the prisoner and is slightly shocked and lightly laughed "well if it isn't Little red'.". "I will make full use out of her" Roman smiled "and your mission?" to which Cinder replied "Focus on your own work and I will focus on mine." she then began to leave the base leaving Ruby in Roman's hands for a week.

Back in Beacon Weiss, Blake, and Yang, as well as Nora and Ren, have just found out that Ruby has been kidnapped both Phyrra and Jaune were in the room as well but they already knew about the information but it didn't make it any more comforting. "Phyrra here was the last one to see Ruby before she got taken away. she is also the one who alerted us to the location that had been infiltrated." once Ozpin had stopped speaking Yang was the first to speak "So how do we get my sister back did you follow her or know where she is?" yang asked a bit aggressively Ozpin who understood how Yang felt regretted to inform her "As of right now we do know where she is but we know she's alive." Yang argued back "How huh How do you know she is alive?!" and although Yang was shouting at Ozpin in anger he maintained his volume and replied with a reassuring but very unsettling answer "Why would you take a dead person with you that would be useless but if their alive they have a value." this made Yang extremely angry but she didn't say anything else. Phyrra was still sitting down looking down staring at Ruby's weapon. Weiss who was not as emotionally attached to Ruby spoke aloud without thought "why would that idiot go off alone." once she had heard the sentence leave her lips she knew what she had said and was about to say she didn't mean it but before she had a chance Phyrra lashed back at Weiss "It's your fault she went alone you stuck up..." Phyrra didn't finish the sentence they knew what she had meant, Weiss who was about to apologize became enraged "And how is it my fault!" and Phyrra just stated at Weiss coldly "You broke her heart and I know a Schnee has never felt that before" Weiss who was confused just questioned "what?" and Phyrra stands up tipping over her chair before shouting "She loved you and you kissed Neptune right in front of her face when she was about to ask you to dance" before leaving the room and slamming the door behind her. Weiss was completely shocked at both Phyrra's change of attitude and also the information that she had just received. Weiss slumped in her chair staring blankly ahead and muttered "She liked me? but i-i." Blake who was the most rational out of the three from Team WBY "Do we have a place to start to search or do we not even know that?" stated slightly annoyed.
