《Cinder x Male Reader: Volume 2》Confrontation
Advertisement
After discovering Vernal's body, we had her buried and all said our peace. Mom tried to act like it didn't effect her but, I think I saw a few tears at the funeral.
Anyway, after all that Cinder decided it was time to make a move. Qrow, Sapphire, Cinder, And I stood in our conference room.
"So, you're sure this is where they're at?" Cinder asked Qrow.
"Yes. I saw Yang and Blake there." He said pointing to a spot on the map. It was kind of isolated on an island, a little ways from Patch, where we grew up.
"Okay. Y/N, Sapphire. Go there and eliminate all of them." She said still a bit angry from everything going on. Sapphire and I looked at each other, then to Cinder and nodded.
"And if they try to surrender?" I asked.
"Kill them. It's time to let the people know... the days of forgiveness are behind them" she said with a glare that made even me scared of her.
"I'll go to." Qrow said stepping up. I immediately Rejected the idea.
"No no no no. You aren't going. I don't trust you" I said as he seemed a bit upset.
"I don't care. But I'm going to keep my daughter safe. She... means too much for me to lose her" He said looking down. Sapphire seemed touched by this.
"Okay." She said. I still didn't like it.
"I don't like this" I muttered.
"You don't have to like it. But he's coming" Sapphire said making me a bit angry. I growled at her making Cinder throw a fireball between us.
"Enough! Y/N, I'm sorry but he's going, you might need him" Cinder said with the fire in her hand slowly weakening.
"Fine"
Timeskip
The three of us walked in the forest, with me in front and Sapphire talking with her Dad. I was tired and sweaty from the heat in the forest.

"Damn it's hot" I said wiping the sweat from my forehead.
"Don't worry, I got it" I heard Sapphire say.
"Man, I remember when you didn't have these powers" he said after she cooled down the temperature a bit with her ice powers.
"Yeah well you probably remember when I could still hug your legs I was so short" she said giggling.
"Yeah, I miss those days" Qrow said.
"Okay, Ready?" Qrow asked the much smaller and younger Sapphire.
"Ready, Dad" She said using her, practically harmless wooden scythe.
"Okay... GO" Qrow yelled as she did a flurry of attacks then attempting to pass the final part that she failed so many times. She balanced herself on the scythe, then launched in the air, swinging it downward on to the practice dummy. She successfully struck it, and landed on both feet.
"I... I DID IT" She yelled jumping up and down.
"Yeah you did, kid" Qrow said standing up. Sapphire turned around and ran to him, hugging his legs.
"Thanks Dad" She said. Qrow was still a bit new to this, but hugged back.
"Yeah I remember that!" She said as Qrow smiled.
"Shhh, we're here" I said as I approached the building.
"Yeah, this is the one" Qrow said as we made our way to it, slowly. After we got to the door, we opened it and saw a long stairway going down into darkness.
"Let's go" I said as we equipped our weapons.
We made our way down the stairs and didn't really see much until the bottom. It reminded me a lot of the pathway to the vault. The one with the relic of knowledge. On both sides were black pits that I couldn't see the bottom of.
The three of us walked forward until I heard a burst of some sort.

"What was that?" I asked. No response from my companions. I turned around to see both of them frozen.
"What!?" I yelled as I tried to use fire dust to melt them But was tackled by Yang. She stood up and stomped my chest. She then put the ice dust in her pocket that I'm assuming she just used.
"Hello, Brother" She said with venom in her mouth.
"Hey, sis" I said as I kicked her off of me. "You know I've been really busy lately, how's Ruby?" I asked, trying to make her angry. My attempt clearly worked as she burst into flames. She leaped to attack me but I dodged it easily.
"You get angry too easily" I said "it makes you predictable" I finished as she got even more frustrated. She had gotten better than before, as she attacked me, punching left and right. She landed a few but I also did.
"You.. You don't know what you did to me!" She yelled as she punched me, knocking me too the ground. I got back up, but saw my aura was gone.
She went to deliver a final blow but I grabbed her gauntlet and punched her very hardly, sending her into the back wall.
"Just give up, I would be willing to let you join me" I lied. Like I would trust her.
She was kneeling and with her aura drained, would've been easy pickings. But as I was going to kill her she yelled something catching my attention.
"IM SORRY" she yelled as I stopped my attack. "I... I'm sorry, I should've known I was no competition for you. Please just... let me leave.. and you'll never see me again" she said as I melted Qrow and Sapphire from the ice.
"Yang, you'll just come back after me" I said calmly.
"I.. I... I'm sorry big bro.... I love you" She said crying, as her tears mixed with blood. This hurt me in my heart, I couldn't kill her, despite Sapphire wanting me too.
"I.. I love you too Sis" I said kneeling to her and hugging her. She hugged back.
"Thank you... NOW QROW" She yelled. I tried to move but she held on to me as I was impaled by the giant sword/Scythe Of Qrow's. I was attempting to breathe but I couldn't really. I heard Sapphire yelling no but she couldn't do much. Yang smiled a Devilish smile.
"That's for Ruby" I heard Qrow say as he pulled out the sword and kicked me over the edge as I fell into the abyss.
Sapphire Pov
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS" I yelled as I began attacking them both with everything I had, leaving no stops. But, I was no match for them both. I realized this and began to run.
"That's right! Death to the empire!" I heard Yang yell as I ran up the steps and to Vale.
