Continuing the Legacy (RWBY x Male Reader, Ruby x Reader)[On Hiatus until Vol10]

Enemy of Trust (Vol 7 Finale)

*(Y/N) POV*

I continue to slash some Sabyrs, protecting another airship. Soon the last civilian boards and the ship flies towards Atlas. Then I get a message over comms

(Y/N): "Yhm. Wait... But we still... Okay, roger" I put Mortem back to it's compact mode and soon I made it to the ship. Not long after everyone gets here and we fly back to Atlas with Harriet and Elm

Weiss: "I don't understand. Why would the General call us back without giving a reason?"

Ryze: "Yeah. We're more needed down there"

Ren: "Especially with evacuations still going on in Mantle"

Elm: "You don't have to understand orders, kids. You just have to follow them"

(Y/N): "At least tell us why James called us back when our job is not done"

Harriet: "It is. If the General needs us now, he needs us now. Civilian transports won't be stopping anytime soon"

Jaune: "You all get to the General and find out what's happening. We'll bring Oscar and see you soon"

We reach the Atlas Academy and immediately make our way to James' office. Inside, the General sits in his seat, a black bag on his desk. He turn to us, with a look of melancholy on his face with his left arm wrapped in bandages

Harriet: "General Ironwood?"

Ironwood: "We have made a critical error. he place a black queen chess piece on the desk "he black queen was the symbol Salem showed us before we lost everything. Her way of telling us she was inside. That we couldn't stop her. I captured Watts, and we got Callows, but SOMEONE got in here. They put this in MY office to tell ME that it wa-what if Mantle was just a distraction? What if it was just to draw us away from the academy, to-to-to"

(Y/N): "General! You need to calm down. Freaking out like that will only play us right into the hands of Salem"

Ryze: "We're winning this fight. Mantle is now with Atlas"

Ironwood: "What if that was part of their plan as well? How do we know that they didn't want us to bring people into Atlas by the thousands?!"

Vine: "In turning our eyes to the world, we kept our eyes off from the inside"

Ironwood: "Salem has been one step ahead of us this ENTIRE TIME!" he slams his fist onto the table, breaking it, causing the chess piece to fall and roll on its side. Ruby then realizes something

Ruby: "It's... glass. Black glass. Which can only mean..."

(Y/N): "That Cinder is alive. And she is here, and that means... she is going after Winter Maiden..."

Yang: "What? But how?! (Y/N), you told us she is dead!"

(Y/N): "I told you she is either dead or badly injured! But if she is here..."

Ironwood: "Then Hazel may likely be here as well"

(Y/N): "And Tick"

Blake: "Sir, this isn't over yet. We're with you" James stare at us

Ironwood: "Are you with me?" Blake steps back while the Ace Ops stare at us "How did Robyn Hill know about the global communications tower?" I look over to Team RWBY only to see Blake and Yang are looking nervous. Ryze then breaths in and out before stepping forward

Ryze: "We told her. To be more specific I told her"

Elm: "You did what?" Yang gets next to Ryze

Yang: "We were trying to help!"

Marrow: "By going behind our backs?"

Harriet: "Wait. Does that mean you let her escape the night of the ambush?"
