It was cold when we heard the Grimm.

As the snowstorm's winds pelted stronger and stronger it became increasingly harder to see and hear but that growl was unmistakable.

We were on kingdom defense, a job given out to the most disposable units of the Atlas military.

We were a group of 63 men. Those 63 were broken into 3 groups of 21 men, the trainees and their leader.

We patrolled the southern border of Atlas, the "sunny south" as it was nicknamed.

The Grimm usually didn't stray this far north but the ones that did were the toughest of the tough.

"Squad leader Brontes,Sir," Private Jimmy called out. "that sounds like one large Grimm. Is it an Ursa"

"That's not the call of any Ursa I've ever faced anyway Jimmy" I said as I scanned futilely around the perimeter. "That damm snow is blocking my vision.

A large figure walked across the snow, if you didn't know him you would have said he was out of place with his ebony face that formed a hard contrast to the white snow that fell around us.

"Squad leader Steropes, could you get some of your men to scout the area directly north of us?" I said as I pointed north.

The Goliath shuck his head, "Squad leader Arges has already sent his Squad to search the perimeter."

"Arges always has to be the first one to act, hasn't he?" I laugh which caused Steropes to give a giant belly laugh.

"Well my old friend, we don't call him the bright one for nothing" he said as he clapped my back. I shrug it off laughing.

"He sure is something else," I said as my eyes searched the perimeter. Suddenly I get a call on my scroll. It's Arges.

"Help, we found the Grimm. It's a massive alpha Beowolf. It killed half of my men. I need backup NOW. We are in the open clearing south of base." Arges shouted and hung up.

alpha beowolf are dangerous so I grap my spear and tell Steropes to get his men ready and we move out.

We reach the clearing and see the bodies. "The beowolf must be close.Stay alert." I tell my men as I march towards Arges. He is wounded and thrown on the ground , a deep gash along his leg and...a splinter of a spike in his eye.

"Arges, speak to us!" Steropes roared as he shakes Arges's body. A groan sounds from Arges "Get off me you oaf" Arges said as he got up and opened his bow from his back and notched an arrow with a lightning shape on it's front.

"Keep alert, the beast will be back" Arges said " We didn't injure it just annoyed it, stupid useless guns."

Suddenly we hear a growl and a giant beowolf bounced into a group of trainees and the rest of the squads start shooting the Grimm.

"No, what did I say," Arges roared "His coat is thick, stop shooting as projectiles are useless." Arges nodded to Steropes and myself. Arges unsheathed his hammer from his back aswell as a large metal tube, his blowpipe. I readied my spear and placed my finger on the button on it.

"Stand back." Steropes bellowed in a voice like a thunderclap as he shot darts at the beasts hide and Arges fired his arrows. The trainees looked at me in bewilderment "I thought you said projectiles were useless." I smile. "At damaging it maybe but this isn't meant to hurt him."

As Arges fired his last arrow and Steropes his last dart theytook a step backwards and transformed our weapons.My spear became a javelin. Arges's quiver was equipped with a new more deadly set of arrows and despite his wounds he refused to stop fighting. Steropes attached his blowpipe to the end of his hammer and it became a two handed war hammer. "Ready?" Arges shouted. We nod.

I started and threw my javelin high into the air and pulled a switch from my pocket. Arges used his ice arrows to freeze the Grimm's leg's temporarily and Arges charged the Grimm with his hammer. When he was within strike distance I flipped the switch and a giant lightning strike conducted by my javelin hits the Grimm and the darts and arrows that served as conductive lightning rods fry the Grimm where it stood.

I turned to my friends and smiled and in that instant we briefly lowered our guards and the spikes that fly from an elder Grimm in death soar towards us!

Arges noticed first and pulled out his blade from his quiver and sliced the spike that headed for Steropes and myself but splinters still went into my right and Steropes's left eye that blinded us. We were the lucky ones as the other spikes sliced through the soldiers and killed them outright.

Hours later our shift was finished and we returned to base.

Hi thanks for reading my FIRST ever fanfic.

I really love Rwby and have been a fan for since the start even though I stopped watching for a yearish after PvP because of well you know.

I had a traumatic couple of months in the last year and was approved for the make a wish. Why I am telling you this is because you choose 6 wishes and one of my wishes is to make my own RWBY episode with my character Brontes and me voicing him.
