"Team CRDL, stay where you are, rescue is on the way." Weiss says in the comm piece over the static. "I don't know man, I'm freaking out over here! There's Vamps all over the place, Ghosts after us, and Ghouls smashing shit!" His voice cracks over the device, he sounds like a little girl the idiot. She shakes her head,"You might want to pedal to the metal, Rubes. Sounds like Cardin is going to shit himself." Yang laughs as she checks her shotguns. "Serves him right, the dummy." Ruby, Yang's younger sister says as she flips the sirens. Its as though, when she drives, she tries to purposefully hit every street sign. Today was only 6 signs destroyed.
They take a sharp turn near the docks and skid to a stop in front of the bar,"You know, Ruby, just because the car can handle most everything thrown at it, doesn't mean I want to be deceased by the time we get to the scene." Blake, the resident faunus, grumbles as she yanks her claws from the interior she had in a death grip. "That's enough you three," Ruby shouts forcefully,"we are in operation mode." Her teamates tense immediately and ready their weapons. Yang loads her double barrel shotguns with a grin as the other follow her example. Blake grips her Colt AR 15, Ruby her Dragunov SVU, and Weiss her twin Zastava CZ 99's. "Alright girls, we'll be following Delta formation 2 for this operation." The red headed leader stated,"Move out!" They take their positions at the front door Yang and Weiss on the right, Ruby and Blake on the left. Nodding to Yang, she kicks in the front door and begins taking out the Vamps that jump at her throat. "Get some!"
2 Hours Later
"Why would you throw a grenade in the middle of a bar!?" Weiss shrieked as she tries to get pieces of goblin out of her hair. "It saved your life didnt it!" Yang screamed,"You think about that?"
"I will admit you helped me, yes," her voice softened,"but as a result the neighboring buildings caught fire, putting countless civilians at risk!"
"And we helped them, so what?!" The blonde shouted back. "Are you being-"
"Will you two shut up!" Blake screamed,"Let's agree that while Yang did mess up, we were able to help any who were caught in it. Now, the next person to scream in my ear I will shoot, understand?" Her tone held no room for argument as the brute and heiress settled for glaring at each other. Ruby chuckled as she pulled their vehicle into the parking compound,"Let's just get cleaned up, alright." she says as she hands the keys to one of the attendants and leads her team to the sterilisation chamber.
They each take off their bloody and scratched up uniforms, toss them into a bin, and begin the long process of sterilizing themselves. Trying to bear the scalding water and intense blowdry. Dressing themselves in the clothing they left in the lockers, they head to their desks and begin the after action report. Well, Weiss and Blake do anyway. The sisters are seen playing around and recounting the kills for the day. "Did you see that huge Vamp that was hiding behind the bar?" The young rose exclaimed with excitement.
"The one that was trying to feed on Cardin?" She laughed to herself.
"Yea, took almost three whole clips to take that thing down. Like it wasn't even affected by the UV rounds."
"That makes no sense."
"I know, I've never heard of one that wasn't affected by the rounds." Ruby stated as she scrolled on her phone.
"You think that's weird, where the hell did those goblins come from? I thought vamps and goblins didn't get along."
"They don't normally." Interjected Blake as Weiss finished for her,"Those two are either trying to kill each other or avoiding the other entirely." She claims she checked over the report.
"Well, on the bright side we get to go home after the reports are finished." Ruby said. They all nodded.
Meanwhile in Ozpins Office
"Are you sure about this Glynda?" He asked.
"Unfortunately, I am, sir. Along with six different outside sources." She took a deep breath,"It's coming."
Ozpin nodded absently as he tried to come up with anything they could use to combat The Rise. Mentally simulating possibilities and the results. Just when he was going to crush his mug from the sheer force of his worry, it came to him."Glynda, I need you to pull the files of a few teams."
"Sir?" While she had been working with the man for years, he still surprised her.
"We're going to be creating a task force to handle the problems it will bring while we collaborate with the rest of the council."
"Okay then," she pulled up the index,"who do you need?"
Back with team RWBY
"Finally done." Yang said as she stretched her stiff arms,"How about you three?"
"Done."
"Same here."
"Yep."
"Sweet, anyone up for drinks at McLaren?" Unanimous agreement from her friends let them start packing their things and shutting down designating stations.
Laughing and smiling with each other as they piled into the car they-meaning Weiss-bought for themselves when they moved in together. "What'll we be listening to tonight, ladies?" Said they're blond driver. "Do you still have that Thousand Foot Krutch mix CD?" asked her sister and leader.
"On it." They pulled out of compound singing along to Courtesy Call. The four girls pulled into McLaren's, passing another preacher shouting about the end of days. Ruby practically leapt onto her spot in the booth, Weiss rolled her eye, Blake ordered the usuals, and Yang laughed. Five minutes later, the avid reader came with her hands ladened with drinks.
A Strawberry Sunrise for Yang, beer for Ruby, a Margarita for Blake, and a Scotch on the rocks for Weiss. "To team RWBY!" Yang cheered.
"To team RWBY!" They cheered. Before Weiss drank, she paused when she felt a chill run through her body. Pushing it aside, opting to drink with her friends instead of worry on it.
In Forever Fall Forest
A large brown bear is foraging for some food, nose to the ground and ears up. Following the smell of honey and raspberries, it comes to a empty field. But, no food was in sight. It continues to search for the source of the smell to find the body of a unusually larg black furred wolf. Its blood swirled into strange shapes it doesn't recognize. Before the bear cam turn back the ground begins to shake, the wolf's blood glows an eerie green. The bear cannot move, no matter how hard it tries when a clawed hand breaks through the earth. Another bursts through pulling with them a head covered in earth.
The wolf's blood moves of its own accord, moving quickly to coat the skin of the figure. Moving to form shapes that glowed white and black on its arms. The bear growls and snaps in fear, still being held steadfast by the ground. The body convulses the rest of the way from the hole, sniffing at the air before jerking its head to the bear. The eyes snap open causing the bear's efforts double.
The figures dark red eyes, fluctuating to an immensely bright white. Sending shivers down its spine as it slowly walks over to the bear. As it gets closer, it can be seen that the figure has two 4 inch fangs protruding from its gums, saliva dripping from its maw. It rakes its obsidian colored claws in the fur before-with no hesitation-sinking the fangs into the bears flesh. Throughout the entire forest, the bears deathly throws would be heard for miles.
The figure had drained the entire creature of its blood and had feasted on its flesh by sunrise. Gazing at the horizon before four words escaped its mouth, "Black Flame. White Snow."
