A/N: Before we start the second chapter, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read this story. I wanted to try something a little unique to the RWBY community. Now Onward!
Rion lept from tree to tree again, keeping up with Yang to wherever she was going. He was interested to see how this planet does things. Especially since she managed that pack of dark beasts just fine on her own. He saw a clearing coming up and stood still on a tree branch. Looks like Yang met up with someone else.
"Chess pieces?" The other person asked. "Why chess pieces?"
Yang simply shrugged her shoulders. "Eh. Might as well pick one." She mused as she and the other female looked around the clearing, trying to decide.
As Rion stayed silent, simply watching, he noticed something... off with the top of the other human's head. Two small heat signatures under the article of clothing on the top of her head. What was that about?
"How about a cute little pony Blake?" Yang asked, holding up a Knight chess piece.
Blake rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Sure."
It was up to that point where a scream resounded through the forest. Rion stood straight up and looked.
"Some girl's in trouble!" Yang shouted. Blake however, was looking up, dumbstruck. "Blake, did you hear that? What should we d-?"
"HEADS UUUUUUU-" A girl in Red was shouting while falling. Until another human smacked into her, sending them both flying to the trees. The same tree where Rion was standing.
Rion went wide eyed behind his mask and lept to another tree, however, he was too slow, as he was hit and sent flying to another tree and then fell to the ground. The ground kicked up dust and dirt from the impact as he faceplanted.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked Yang.
"Well... I-" She started.
"YEEEEEEHAAAAAA!" Another voice shouted. This one riding on the back on an Ursa, before it fell, dead. "Aw... it's broken..." She actually sounded saddened.
'What is going on?!' Rion thought as he crawled along the ground to the clearing.
"Nora? Please... Don't do that again." Another person said as he paused to catch his breath. Nora however was preoccupied by the chess pieces and picked up a rook. Holding it triumphantly. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She sang.
"NORA!" The man shouted.
"Heh. Coming Ren!" Nora chuckeld nervously and ran over.
"Did that girl just ride on an Ursa?" Blake questioned again.
"Well..." She started again.
That was when another person ran from the trees. A giant scorpion on her tail. "Jaune!" She shouted.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune shouted. "Ruby!" He turned, trying to get down. Ruby lept from the branch and rolled.
"Ruby?" Yang asked.
"Yang!" Ruby cheered out, going for a hug.
"Nora!" The pink haired and hyper girl sprung from between them. Right as Rion uncloaked.
"You!" Yang shouted and glared at Rion.
"Me?!" Rion shouted.
"Did he just appear out of nowhere?" Blake asked.
"Well he-" Yang was interrupted again.
"And did SHE just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" Blake crossed her arms.
Yang... blew a fuse. "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! CAN EVERYONE JUST CHILL OUT FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN?!" She shouted. Rion stood up and shook his head.
"Um... Yang?" Ruby asked and pointed up. A girl in white was hanging onto a giant bird.
"The hell is wrong with everyone on this planet?" Rion asked himself as he watched the bird fly around.
"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?! The girl in white shouted as she was hanging for dear life.
"I said jump!" Ruby shrugged her shoulders.
"She's going to fall." Blake told Ruby.
"Pah, Weiss'll be fine." Ruby brushed it off.
"She's falling." Ren deadpanned.
Rion looked up and saw that Weiss was, indeed, falling. Jaune however, lept out of nowhere and caught her in midair. "Just dropping in?" Jaune tried being cheeky. "Oh god..." He just remember. Both him and Weiss grabbed onto eachother. "NO!" Jaune shouted, falling on his face. With Weiss landing on his back.
"My hero." Weiss rolled her eyes while checking her nails.
"My back..." Jaune struggled to say.
"He fell like 10 stories!" Rion shouted. "How durable IS he? How durable am I? Questions for later." He made a straight face behind his mask.
The Deathstalker knocked Pyrrha over to the group. "Great!" Yang sarcastically started. "The Gang's all here. Now we can all die together!"
"No. No one else is going to die!" Ruby pulled out her weapon, which turned into a giant scythe. She then charged forward toward the Deathstalker. She was either very brave, or foolish.
"Ruby! Stop! The Nevermore!" Yang shouted after her.
"Stop you fool!" Rion shouted and ran toward Ruby. However. The Nevermore flapped its wings, sending feathers down below, sticking into the ground. And as Ruby turned to run, her cape got snagged by one of the sharpened feathers. Just as the Deathstalker was approaching.
"Ruby get out of there!" Yang shouted. Ruby was pulling on her cape, trying to get free. As the Deathstalker reared back its tail... She closed her eyes...
The sound of an energy weapon caught her attention as a blue ball smacked into the Deathstalker's face, driving it back. Rion was running toward Ruby, his shoulder mounted cannon repeatedly firing at the Deathstalker. He wrapped his arms around the Nevermore feather and pulled as hard as he can. It was stuck in the ground good. It eventually gave way and the feather flew away, allowing Ruby to get away.
Ruby looked up at her savior. "You are brave little one." Rion grabbed her by her hood, bringing her to her feet. "But also headstrong. A dangerous combination." He huffed.
The Deathstalker and Nevermore roared and were closing in.
"Nevermind it for now. Let's go." Rion nodded at Ruby before running back to the group.
Weiss looked at Ruby as soon as she arrived. "You are... Insufferable, and bullheaded!" she shouted.
"Weiss, I-" Ruby started before Weiss put up a hand.
"Though... I suppose if you don't try to show off... I could be... nicer." Weiss sighed.
"Um... I hate to interrupt this. But we have visitors!" Jaune shouted.
"We don't have to fight them, our mission is the relic!" Ruby pointed out.
"Run and live. I can live with that." Jaune nodded.
"Time to go!" Rion shouted as he ran with the group.
A/N: Cliffhanger here, for now. Sorry, but the famous fight against the Deathstalker and Nevermore will be up next. And you will see everyone working as one. Until next time!
