No Pov

Ruby saw Yang and Blake in trouble. When Yang's arm was cut off and Blake was stabbed, she felt a surge of power and screamed. A blinding light enveloped the area, and when it cleared Adam was badly burned but still in good enough condition to run. 

Ruby tried to pursue him while Wiess ran over to Blake and Yang. They both clearly needed to get to a hospital. She tried to call for help and was able to get a bullhead to their location, since most of the civilians had already been evacuated. They got them to some doctors, and Ruby came back.

Ruby: "Are they ok?"

Wiess: "It sounds like they can save both of them. Did you get him?"

Ruby: "No, he disappeared. I couldn't catch him."

Wiess: "What even happened there?"

Ruby: "No idea." Suddenly they saw a pink figure standing in the distance. " We can't worry about that now." She noticed them, and charged. She stabbed forward with her umbrella, but missed both of them. 

Ruby tried to conterattack, but Neo shattered and appeared behind her. She was only able to land a few hit before Wiess flung her into the air with a glyph and took some shots with her rapier. Ruby recovered and used the opportunity to get some hits in with Crescent Rose.

Neo was able to get back on the ground and block with her umbrella, but the two students both proved too fast and unpredictable to keep up with. If she went for one, the other would push her back. She had no such advantage. However, she didn't retreat. She was too angry to see how outmatched she was. 

They had been the ones responsible for Torchwick's capture, and she would stop at nothing to free him. Wiess pinned her, while Ruby took the chance to get behind her and get some more hits in. Her aura was draining fast, but she wouldn't stop. She shattered and tried to get at them again, but this time they were ready for it. 

Ruby caught her in the lunge and broke her aura with a few quick swings. She fell unconscious. Wiess called a bullhead again to pick her up and deliver her to the authorities.

Y/N's Pov

I stared at the White Fang assassin. He got up quickly and stood opposite me. Amber quickly pushed Hazel away and continued dealing with him. I had finally figured out this man's semblance. He didn't just have a typical speed one, instead he could speed up normal movements of his body, and even localize it the way I can with mine. 

Y/N: "Who are you? Why did you say you knew me?"

???: "You'll see soon enough." He ran behind me, and I stabbed backwards with my sheath. He moved out of the way, but this time my attack connected. He recovered instantly and tried again, but this time I went on the offensive. 

I dashed forward with my sword and sent him flying. I teleported to him in the air and redirected him back to the ground. He left a crater and got up quickly, trying to uppercut me with his weapon but I teleported back to the ground and hit him with a barrage of swings. 

If I had only swung once, he would have been pushed back and had a chance to recover, but this time I wanted to make sure he couldn't escape, so I swung in opposite directions, keeping him in place. Eventually I decided to finally get some answers. I cut his mask in half and kicked him away. He got up and noticed his mask falling off.

Y/N: "You don't look like anyone I recognize. Who are you?"

???: "I suppose you were too young to really remember me." He put his weapons away. "My name is Michael Taurus." I remembered Salem calling me the son of someone named Michael, but I managed to hold my shock in. 

He had the same color of eyes as me, and I could see his ears were clearly cat ones just like mine. Other than that, he looked like an older version of the pictures of Adam Taurus's face I had seen. I must have gotten the rest of my appearance from my mother. I couldn't believe it.

Y/N: "Why did you come after me specifically?"

Michael: "Because I thought you were dead until my allies described some of your capabilities. I had to see for myself."

Y/N: "How do you know me?" I needed to hear him say it.

Michael: "I'm your real father." I forced myself not to react.

Y/N: "Why should I believe you?"

Michael: "Put it together. The similarities of our semblances. The same eye color. The same faunus features."

Y/N: "How did you lose me then?"

Michael: "I was training you and your older brother. You two were extremely promising to our cause, but you just disappeared. They thought you fell into a waterfall and were carried away by the current. We found some wet strips of your clothing left, but no body. You were presumed dead, but I always held out hope you were alive."

Y/N: "How was I training? I turned up at the orphanage when I was only 3."

Michael: "You were two at the time. I wanted you two to be strong, so I started you early. And look where it got you." It lined up well enough. But the fact that he started me at 2 years old was concerning to me.

Y/N: "Why were we in Vale?"

Michael: "I was taking you two to get some decent starting weapons. We lost you in the surrounding area. We were all devastated. But we can put all that behind us now. We can help the faunus rise to their proper place!"

Y/N: "Which is?"

Michael: "You already know. You always have. We are to be above the humans, not the other way around!"

Y/N: "All you are doing by going that direction is proving that you're the animals they say you are."

Michael: "And are they any better? You know what happened in those dust mines. Your brother understands better than anyone how animalistic humans are."

Y/N: "If you succeed, all you will accomplish is more pain, more social unrest, and cause the humans to do the same thing to you in a few more decades. Even if we were superior to them, that doesn't mean that us enslaving them is a good idea."

Michael: "You only say that because all you know are the one who treated you with kindness."

Y/N: "And most humans who hate faunus have only seen you. And besides, I don't care about your petty revenge when the world is at stake and I can help save it." He looked shocked and shed a single tear.

Michael: "Then I'm sorry, Jack." He ran at me. I guess that was my real name. I blocked two stabs with his blades and stabbed him, pushing him back. He tried again, clearly conflicted this time. I felt a mix of emotions too, but I was used to tuning all of them out while fighting. He seemed to fuel himself with anger, while right now he had none for me. 

I could beat him here, and bring him to justice. He was directly allied with Salem, even if he didn't understand that. He was a threat to everyone, including the people he wanted to help. So I pushed my sword out with my thumb, and prepared to beat down my own father. 

He ran to the side of me this time, but then when I tried to hit him he ran to the other side and tried to hit me. I saw what was happening and blocked it with my sheath. I then counterattacked with my semblance, pushing him into the air. Even he couldn't fight this move. I hit him from everywhere at once until he managed to shoot with one of his blades and use the recoil to propel himself away. 

He retreated to fight another day. Whatever, he couldn't do anything else. I turned to see Amber was still keeping Hazel at bay. 

I went up into the tower to send a message to Ironwood and the others for help. I received a response that the other kingdoms had heard what was happening, and had allocated a large force to come help. We just needed to hold out a little longer. I suddenly felt the weight of what I had just found out. I was related to the same people who were participating in this attack.

Ruby's Pov

After dealing with Neo, we went to the tower to see if we could help. We saw that Amber girl from earlier fighting a big guy. They were apparently shaking the ground and causing super strong winds. We saw Y/N come out of the tower and join in. We looked at each other and shrugged, and joined in as well. 

This guy was powerful, but all of us were too much for him. He was almost down, but a Nevermore swooped down and grabbed him and the two companions of that person Y/N beat up at the dance. We just assumed it was going to eat them, and didn't care. But then I noticed Ozpin's body on the ground, surrounded by a massive crater. He was unmistakably dead.

Ruby: "What happened?"

Y/N: "They were trying to get into the tower. We don't know why, but it can't have been good." He pulled out his scroll. "Glynda, help is finally on the way. They just said hold out as long as possible until they get here."

Ruby: "I mean Ozpin. Is he..."

Y/N: "Yes. That big guy got him." He didn't sound too focused on that right now.

Ruby: "I'm so sorry. I know he was basically the only parent you had."

Y/N: "We can't dwell on it right now. We need to get to Vale and help. Amber, can you stay here and deal with the Grimm up there?"

Amber: "I'm still good." She flew into the air and started tearing the Nevermores apart.

Ruby: "Wow! That's cool."

Y/N: "Where's the rest of your team?"

Wiess: "They're both in the hospital right now."

Y/N: "Ok, can you two still fight?"

Ruby: "Yes."

Y/N: "Then follow me. Glynda needs us in Vale." He quickly teleported to Ozpin's body and picked up his cane for some reason. "This battle is far from over. Those of us who can still fight need to keep going."
