Team ACES
"An Introduction"
"you know, There must be an easier way to do this. He's gonna get himself killed" as the red-headed girl looks away from the chaos towards her companions.
"Scarlet, you worry too much, he'll be fine, he hasn't been killed yet has he?" Quipped a Dark haired Faunus with a strong Australian accent.
"True, but he is our teammate I feel like we should do something. What do you think Ecru?" said Scarlet, turning round to meet eyes with her other teammate.
"I think your both right, sure I agree we should help him, but on the other hand, we know Crimson, he'll just go berserk if we don't leave him to it, especially after what he did to Auburn last time, best to just let him were himself out honestly"
"You got that right mate, I still get nightmares about that day, he can be so bloody brutal at times" Auburn shivers at the thought. Just as Scarlet was about to interject, the body of a mangled looking Grimm goes flying by and lands with a heavy thud on the rocks behind the group. "poor fella, Didn't even know what hit em" Auburn says with sympathy in his voice.
As the group look back to the desert wastelands of Vacuo and towards the mayhem that their fourth teammate is causing, it looked like the number of Grimm had severely diminished from when they had been initially attacked, they had just been on a mission to protect some caravans crossing the desert and where just on there way back to the city of Vacuo, Shade academy to be specific, they had been attacked by a group of Thorn Devils, a lizard-like Grimm about the size of a Boarbatusk, not that threatening on there own, But deadly in a group.
In the middle of the chaos, was a single man just about screaming his lungs out in rage while beating down any Grimm he gets his hands on, covered in scratches, lashes, and bites, he fought through the pain as if it wasn't even there. Crashing his fist into the last Grimm on the field, he let out a large victory cry before passing out among the disappearing corpses of the fallen Grimm.
"Welp" Auburn perked up "looks like he's done having his little fit, we really need to try and teach him to chill out once in a while, I'm tired of carrying his unconscious body back every time we get into a fight"
"Well maybe if we jumped in and helped as I suggested, we wouldn't have to carry him back home," Scarlet says, clear venom in her voice.
"ok jeez fine we'll do it your way next time, but I ain't volunteering to calm him down anymore, you can take that risk" Auburn retaliated
"Telling him to "Chill out" and "Keep it cool" over and over isn't going to calm him down idiot, the reason you got your ass kicked last time was that you were buzzing around him like an insect," Scarlet said, voice rising considerably.
"well excuse me for trying Scarlet, I don't see you doing anything, you're his sister, why do I need to calm him down every time he goes on one of his riots," Auburn says voice matching Scarlets.
"BECAUSE I.."
"GUYS" Ecru interrupts "Can you do this later when we're not standing in the blazing sun and with our teammate laying in the sand covered in wounds" Both people look towards their unconscious ally and look back at each other. Auburn looks down, defeated "yeah, sorry, ill carry him" as he starts walking to the now sleeping body "Still don't know why I get the heat for him being reckless" he whispers to himself, As the rest of the team gather their supplies and get ready to walk home.
"Come on, if we hurry we'll get back to shade by the end of the day," says Ecru. "then we can sort out who is going to explain how Crimson got this injured... Again"
And as they walk towards Vacuo city, Sun still beating down and a slight breeze in the air, a new chapter is about to unfold for this team, and whether they are ready for it or not.
