RWBY ROSG Story

Heartache by the mile

Grim turns to see Nora looking at her friends with a confused look. "So you're telling me that a woman in rags is heading to the legion party to kill them before meeting with everyone?"

"Yes, what part of this do you not understand?" Jaune asks the ginger bomber.

"I mean, she could easily get herself killed on her own. So unless she gets backed up by the others." Nora brings up.

"Why that?" Pyrrha asks her teammate.

"Well, these legion guys are no joke. I mean, one of their parties almost killed Ruby, Jaune, Six and ED-E. How on Remnant is she going to kill a whole party by herself with her fist?" Nora made a good point, one that made the brawler stop herself from making a fool out of herself.

Ch.9 Heartache by the mile

Weiss rubs her temples before commenting. "I'm starting to get a headache with these titles."

Yang turns to Weiss. "How about a heartache?" Everyone gave Yang a deadpan look. "Okay, I'll stop talking for now."

The Mojave Desert in the afternoon

After restocking up on supplies, lunch, and clean clothes the four head for their final destination, New Vegas. At that point in the day the sun started to really come down with a heatwave that could fry an egg on a sidewalk. Thankfully after a quick rinse of their clothes Six and Ruby walked through the deserted highway with damp clothes keeping the cool. Jaune however was sweating like a hooker in church. Worst yet that Nuka was still kicking his stomach.

Everyone felt sick at the diseribison about the heat, sans for Yang who notices her friends slouch with Weiss and Grim look visibly sick. "You guys okay?"

"I'm from Atlas." Weiss said which Yang gave a nod of understanding.

"And remember when I told you I'm not good with the heat?" They give Grim a nod. "Well, that many because it weakens me to the point of feeling sick." Grim explained which raised more questions for Weiss.

"Ugh, guys can we please take a break?" Jaune begs as he held his stomach.

"We Just took a break five minutes ago." Six replies as he reaches into his bag.

"Stopping to fight off fire breathing ants isn't a break!" Jaune complains before bending over in pain. With a loud sigh Six stopped walking and walked over to Jaune.

"Vomit boy does have a point, stop to fight isn't really taking a break." Yang said.

"If it will keep you from puking a trail to new Reno here, this should help your stomach." Six said as he hands him a sunset sarsaparilla.

"Ugh, sorry but any chance you have something that isn't a bottled soda?" Jaune groans as he tries to fight back his urge to vomit.

"Dad gave us soda when we had an upset stomach." Ruby told Jaune and gained a glare from Weiss remembering when she was sick and her teammates were useless.

"It's hand made so don't worry about rads. Besides I heard sarsaparilla is supposed to help irritated stomachs."

"See!" Ruby waved at the screen which she only got Weiss to roll her eyes.

Jaune looked down at the bottle before looking back up at Six. He took the bottle and opened it. After pocketing the cap, he hesitantly placed it to his mouth before chugging it.

"Will it really help Jaune?" Ruby asked as she started fiddling with her Pip-Boy.

"Staying hydrated is a must in the desert." Blake said. "Sun said that one of the most common ways for people to die in Vacuo is dehydration."
