Aura?! What's That? (A RWBY x Reader Fanfic! )

Cooperation (Chapter 38)

"Holy Shit. What the hell's happening down there?!"

Pilot: I don't know sir!

Y/N: Get to the landing pad, now!

- At the landing pad -

The Pilot goes in for a landing as the soldiers get ready to fire.

The doors open as they put their weapons down.

Captain: Weapons down! They need you inside. ASAP, (Y/N).

Y/N: Wait, Jaune where are the others?

Jaune: They had their own evac, Vacuo went in and helped cleared the site.

Y/N: Shit, so they're gone now?

Jaune nods.

You walk inside the ATLAS HQ along with your team.

- Inside the office -

Clover: What's happening out there, Ironwood?

Ironwood looks outside as the streets were burning. People were rioting against his soldiers.

Walls are written "NO MORE IRONWOOD"  for the council.

Ironwood: They're against me.. Jacques, he's trying to take the council seat for himself.

Y/N: You just can't escape politics, can you?

Ironwood turns around to face you.

Ironwood: What?

Y/N: Never mind that, Who the hell is leading this revolution?

Ironwood: She goes by the name Robyn Hill.

Ruby: Wait, isn't that the lady we saw at -

Clover: Yes. We met her at the mountain pass.

Y/N: Steal from the rich. Give it to the poor. That's her motto.

Ironwood: That is her motto.

Y/N: Wait, isn't election day today?

Ironwood nods.

Y/N: How's it looking?

Ironwood turns on the projector.

Looking up you see the council election, "Ironwood vs Jacques"

Jacques: 89%

Ironwood: 11%

Y/N: Jesus. You're losing by a long shot.

Ironwood: It's not going to be much time before I'm out of the council.

Y/N: Wait, what?

Ironwood: All the council seats are taken. Right now, it's me against Jacques. Looking at it, it seems I might not be here for long.

Y/N: He's been using the slandering tactic, smearing your name against how you ruined Beacon, isn't he?

Ironwood disapprovingly nods and sighs.

Y/N: I'd rather be by your side than be near Jacques any day. He says all this crap and will backstab the civilians behind the back. Those civilians aren't going to get help, they'll be left for dead. We won't be able to stop Salem! Or her gangs!

RWB and JNP disagree with your statement as they shake their heads.

Y/N: This is serious. You guys, don't you believe him?! He's been helping us, giving us trust! We can't leave Atlas to Salem!
