Remnant's Black Snow Hope [Under Revisions]

Chapter 9 Redux: Erased

3rd Person POV:

In the streets of Vale, Blake is seen walking away from Sun in the dead of night.

Sun: (chasing after Blake, who only continues to walk away in complete silence) Hey! Wait up!

Sun: C'mon, don't give me the cold shoulder. (still chasing after her) Don't you wanna catch those dust robbers to prove your comrade's innocence?

Sun: (as Blake stops dead in her tracks) Heh, that got your attention, huh? Well, I've got some info that could help with that.

Elsewhere in the city, Ruby and Y/N are seen wandering around the streets of Vale in search of Blake.

Ruby: (shouting) Blaaaake!

Y/N: (shouting) Blaaaake!

Ruby: (sigh) This is terrible, she won't even answer her scroll.

Y/N: I'm sorry...

Ruby: This isn't your fault, Y/N. I'm actually really glad that we're out here looking for her now.

Ruby: I just wished we knew where exactly to even look for Blake.

Y/N: Yeah...

Penny: It appears we encounter each other once more, Miss Ruby.

Y/N & Ruby: Ah!?

Y/N: W-Who are you?!

Penny: Salutations! My name is Penny Poledina.

Ruby: This is the friend, I was talking about a little while ago Y/N.

Y/N: O-Oh, i-it's nice to meet you Miss Poledina.

Penny: Likewise. Will you be my friend?

Y/N: U-Um...

Penny: (leaning closer causing Y/N to blush) You do not wish to?

Y/N: N-No, I want to be friends. I-If you're okay with being my friend.

Penny: Wonderful! I've made another friend on the same day!

Penny: Since we're all here together, we should enjoy fashion together and exchange stories of romance.

Ruby: T-That would be nice, but Y/N and I actually have to look for someone.

Penny: I could be of assistance. Who are you looking for?

Back with Blake and Sun, the two faunus are seen talking with each other on the empty streets of Vale.

Sun: There's a Schnee Dust Company cargo ship hauling over a massive amount of dust over to the port tonight.

Sun: If we do a stakeout, we're sure to run into the robbers.

Blake: ....What's your objective here?

Sun: (sigh) Do you always have to be so guarded? I'm just a guy trying my hardest to cheer up a gloomy girl, who had a falling out with one of her friends.

Blake: (deadpan) If you think that's enough to earn my trust, then you're nothing but a happy-go-lucky fool.

Sun: Ouch! Well too bad...cuz I totally am! (turning away with his hands behind his head) It's whatever though, have it your way.

Sun: You can just stay in the city moping around or...(turns to face her)...partner up with me for an all night stakeout to prove your comrade's innocence.

Blake: ....(looks up at the moon)... Terrible options all around.

Back with Y/N, Ruby, and Penny, the trio are seen sitting on a bench together discussing everything that happened earlier.
