Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Who? Why? How?

Back in the infirmary, Pyrrha tried to fall back asleep as she was forced to stay inside the infirmary to rest for the day due to her collapsing of exhaustion so with nothing else to do she hugged Crescent Rose and fell back asleep and fell back into a dream state.

once again, she awakes next to the tower but this felt different for some reason she rushed into the building manipulating the elevator to speed up using her semblance and arrives at the floor she always sees Ruby taken away. But this time, instead of glass breaking and seeing Ruby's figure getting carried there is a black-cloaked figure with the cloak covering most of their figure but what was obvious and stood out was the white pieces of hair that slightly revealed themselves and their feminine figure.

within the instant that Pyrrha contemplated on who this is, the figure disappeared and reappeared infant of her on her left before speaking in a quiet voice that seemed void of emotions. "Your always too late Pyrrha.". Pyrrha instantly turned around to confront the figure. "What? Just who are... Huh?" As Pyrrha shouted, there was no one there as if everything was a mirage. she ran around looking for any trace of the figure that she could find, but nothing was there. Everything was spotless. Pyrrha, in a daze, headed down the elevator again as this dream she was in should have ended by now. The elevator descended to the bottom floor and as the doors opened she stepped out and saw Yang, Weiss, and Blake along side Ozpin and Glenda looking with shock at Pyrrha who was confused at their expressions until she looked around and saw the cleanly decapitated bodies of two guards whose blood painted the wall next to the elevator.

Pyrrha, in a stutter, shouted, "wha what happened here?!" but the only one to respond and also who recovered the quickest from shock was Ozpin "There is no point acting Pyrrha. We will need you to come with us too... answer a few questions. this can be easy or hard your choice." he spoke in a flat tone while pulling out the blade inside his can and preparing to protect the students if he needed to. Suddenly, Pyrrha awakens looking around in fear as she was terrified by the way Ozpin threatened her and why he said there is no point acting. "what was that?" Pyrrha spoke to herself in a shocked, dumbfounded state.

Reacting to the sound coming from the bed where a patient was resting, a nurse came threw and spoke in a cheerful tone "oh your awake. How are you feeling?" Without giving Pyrrha any time to process anything, she continued. "Oh right, Ozpin came by to check on you and asked you to come to his office as soon as you awake!" Before instantly disappearing to deal with another patient without taking a look at the pure fear that flashed on Pyrrha's face as she spoke that sentence.

After a few minutes of deep breaths, Pyrrha slowly managed to calm down. she slowly got up from the bed in a shaky manner and made her way to Ozpins office but every step she took seemed to take her further away from the office and every step she took brought back a sliver of fear as the dream she had remained vivid in her mind. it took her 10 minutes to arrive even though it should have only taken 2 to 3 as she contemplated at every other step if that was a dream as it seemed so real, but eventually, she arrived at Ozpin's door and put her hand on the handle ready to go in but she made sure to look down and not directly at Ozpin just in case. but as she entered she couldn't help but glance at the face of Ozpin for a fraction of a second and instead of anger or the emotionless face that stared at her in the dream seemed to evaporate onto smoke as he sat there with a bright smile on his face and instantly spoke "Ah hello Pyrrha how are you feeling? all better, I hope?" She replied slightly flustered at the fear she had felt." um no I am fine, professor." she replied."That's good. You shouldn't push yourself too hard it isn't your fault she's missing. just take some time, relax, and then continue your burning yourself out, which will do no one any good."

Loud footsteps can be heard just as Ozpin finishes his sentence as it sounds like someone running at full speed straight toward them. Pyrrha quickly picks up on the sound through the door and prepares her weapon still shaken from the dream. *Bang* The door smashes open and hangs off its hinges as Yang bursts through the door and just barely controls her speed enough not to crash through the desk Ozpin was sitting behind. Out of breath from how the speed she was running she tried to speak but it came out in short bursts " We *huh* Found her *huh* we need *huh* to go now *huh* before it's too late" Yang shouts out at an insanely fast speed throughout her breaths after she had finished the sentence Weiss and the rest of team JNPR could be seen not too far behind the once closed and unbroken wooden door.

Pyrrha instantly reacted when she heard the news and before Ozpin could ask Yang anything another voice spoke "Where, Where is she!?" Ozpin is beaten to the chase and decided to remain quiet and wait for the question to be answered first, Yang tries for herself to speak while still out of breath but only a half sentence comes out "Warehouse *huh* White Fang *huh*" at this moment Weiss and JNPR enter the room choosing to ignore the door for the time being and Yang quickly shows Ozpin her scroll which has a red dot on a building "This is where Blake found Ruby and the White Fang!" Ozpin reacts quickly seeing the location and contacts both Glenda and Ironwood to the location of the site by sending a picture to both of them before standing up and commanding "let's go" but before he had even managed to send the message one person had already left the room and was on their way to the location and that was none other than Pyrrha.

It took her about 20 minutes to get there from Ozpins room and as she arrived at the warehouse everything was suspiciously quiet and abandoned as if nothing had happened there for the past few years. she cautiously entered the front entrance to the warehouse and flicked a light switch luminating the room but there was nothing. All there was was a massive red curtain covering what looked like a stage. she quickly threw her shield at the top of the railing, holding the curtain, causing the railing to break and reveal what was behind the curtain, but all she could see from there was a cage and what appeared to be a throne. she quickly searched everywhere she could but could only see empty boxes stacked up that seemed to once hold something. but then out of the corner of her eye she could see a piece of red fabric poking out from behind one of the boxes next to the cage it seemed to sparkle from the light as she approached it. "no it can't be. Why? What? How? I... I... was too late..." she spoke as she fell to her knees weakly. her shield and spear drop to the floor as she reaches for the fabric Infront of her.
