Yang fires both her gauntlets behind her and launches herself up and over the Ursa grim, distracting it long enough for Neros to bring his sword down and cleave its head in two. She fires her shots in rapid succession from the air, raining shrapnel upon the group of grimm and keeping herself aloft. As a nevermore flew in too close Genivieve fires at it with her laser rifle, the energy beams hit the nevermore and throw it off course. Yang lands and rolls under an Ursa, popping up under it with an uppercut punch that sends it flying. When Urania's staff hits the ground, cracks appear and fire rises from these cracks. Upon Yang punching the ground, the earth splits from these cracks and creates flaming fissures and rising rubble which Yang punches at the group of beowolves closing in. With most of the Grimm taken care of, YUNG turns its attention to the circling nevermore. Genivieve fires lasers, specifically targeting its wings. Yang also hits it with several long ranged shotgun blasts. Genivieve takes a deep breath and everything slows for her as the beast swoops down towards her. She sidesteps it, slashes its head off and leaps up to avoid its wings as the body slides across the ground then slides to a stop.
Back at Haven, Yang turns to her team. "Alright Team Yang-" Neros interjects "YUNG"
"Yep that. Alright Team YUNG, awesome work today. Saved a small village in the north sector from tyranny, got some great teamwork flowin' here, I think I'm really starting to get the Yang of this leadership thing. Hm?" Urania giggles, Neros slaps his forehead and Genivieve smiles, more in a polite manner than an amused one. Neros throws a dirty sock at her and she dodges it "Keep your sweaty socks away from me buddy boy."
Urania stiffens and she turns to the door "Someone is coming." Yang tilts her head "How can you do that?"
She shrugs "My semblance allows me to sense people, grimm, and I have total awareness of their movements." There is a knock at the door and Yang answers it, and sees the leader of team ABRN, Arslan Altan. Yang smiles in her nightwear, a yellow tank with a fire emblem on it and black shorts. Urania hides herself due to only wearing a blue spaghetti strap top and short shorts. Neros lounges around in his white tank and black shorts, and Genivieve seems disinterested and lays on her bed in her black The Achieve Men boyband shirt and her blue sweatpants.
Arslan looks around the room "Hello ladies and gentlemen. I heard of your success at the southern sector grimm roundup."
"Northern sector." She shrugs "Right. Anyway, I hear that my team will be sent to the east sector in three weeks. And we were told we could take an extra team with us. Our team is mostly quick strikers, recon and all that. You guys are mostly heavy hitters. Looks like a tough sector though. Lots of grimm. Think you are up for it?" Yang looks back at her team and Neros nods in approval, as does Genivieve.
Yang grins "Alright Arslan, it'll be fun working with you." They shake hands.
Yolanda lounged around in her orange halter top and white baggy pants. Being used to living mostly alone, she was used to wearing whatever was comfortable and not restricting. Ruby smiles at her in her nightwear "Man it feels so good to kick back and relax after another hard day of training."
"You and Weiss seem to be functioning on the same level."
"We all are. Growing as people together. Getting stronger and learning to work together. It's the best part of being a team." She sighs and lies back as Yolanda nods "And best of all, we have an awesome leader."
Ruby turns her namesake shade of red, giggling "I am pretty awesome at it aren't I?" Weiss snorts, standing in the doorway "Quite full of ourselves, are we?"
"Actually Weiss, I'm mostly full of turkey from tonight's feast." (Yang felt a sudden disturbance in the force) Blake interjected from her corner where she was reading, much to everyone's surprise.
"Weiss, you have to admit she is a great leader." Ruby almost falls out of bed "When did you get in here Blake?! I couldn't even hear you breathing!" Blake uses her book to cover her embarrassed face.
"I've been reading by the moonlight since before you two got in here. I didn't eat much at dinner." Ruby smiles "Alright team, time for bed." Yolanda leaps up onto her top bunk and it collapses on top of Ruby's but not before Blake used her arm ribbon to yank Ruby out of the way. Ruby falls to the floor and Yolanda collapses next to her, the impact of her bed falling making her bounce off her mattress. Ruby rubs her head "Bunk beds were not the best idea."
"Well I'm bigger maybe I just need a bottom bunk."
As Blake ran away into the night, leaving Ruby yelling after her, Yolanda watched from afar as she removed her ribbon. She had her arms folded as she mulled in her head what Blake said "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" Blake is or was with the White Fang. Her father lost a lot of good men to the White Fang, and she nearly lost her brother to them as well. He would never be able to fight again after they severed his spine following a brutal beating. Left him to bleed out, like the animals they were. No compassion, no mercy, this was what she had come to expect from them. Yolanda leaps out of the window and she tracked Blake from a far distance. Using her versatile semblance to track the Faunus, she followed her into town, but before approaching her she decided to instead observe her movements for a while. The next morning she heard Blake's story as she had breakfast tea with Sun. She was glad she had. She knew it must have been hard for Blake to have her optimism be crushed as the people she once knew became crazed criminals. She thought about going back to Beacon to find her teammates, but didn't want to risk losing Blake and not being able to track her. While her Evolution semblance made tracking easy it had its limits. So she quietly followed Blake as her and Sun went towards the docks.
Thankfully, Yolanda didn't need much sleep. Training alongside her father not just in combat but in survival made her efficient at anything she did. Blake watched the docks with Sun and jumped to her feet upon seeing the choppers landing. Yolanda saw Roman and drew her pistol. Upon joining it with her sword it forms a rifle with her sword grip folded inward to form a stock and the sword end forms a bayonet, she puts a scope on it and the barrel lengthens to form a .50 cal sniper rifle. Yolanda lines up her shot but by that time Blake has taken Roman hostage. She watches the reaction of the soldiers as Blake throws aside her black ribbon to reveal her purple and black cat faunus ears. Yolanda watches as Roman knocks her back but Sun gets in the way, interrupting her shot again.
Frustrated, Yolanda exchanges out her chamber and instead of revolver rounds she puts in a new chamber and a clip of 9mm. She runs in and opens fire, Roman dodges and rolls out of the way of the full auto fire and Sun is nearly hit "Hey watch it! Friendlies!" Yolanda seperates gun and sword, using her sword to deflect Roman's cane, and leaving him open for a point blank shot. He manages to dodge nonetheless and smacks Yolanda over the head.
"Imputence. Shouldn't you be hiding behind daddy's army?" Blake rushes at Roman and tries to overwhelm him by quickly moving around him, using her shadows to avoid his attacks. But Roman is very fast and skilled, managing to land a few blows on Blake before getting kicked hard by Sun. Even Sun's lightning quick nunchuck flint pistol style is no match for Roman and his simple yet flowing cane technique. Roman narrowly avoids a shot from Yolanda's rifle but it explodes behind him, knocking Roman into Sun who trips him. Sun gives Yolanda a thumbs up and Yolanda seperates gun and sword. They all turn to see Penny, who entered the field of combat, using her swords to easily cut her way through the White Fang thugs. As Penny blasted the choppers out of the sky, Yolanda lost track of Roman. Pulling down a ship that was pulling a shipping container, Penny had the attention of everyone.
"Kids keep getting weirder!" Roman escaped with the few choppers left in his fleet.
Everything was quiet, and Yang was happy for once to be on a quiet mission with no complications. Not that the thrill of the fight wore off, but mostly because grimm didn't provide much challenge anymore and she felt the more time she spent here, the more time she could be spending looking for her mother. Now that she stopped to think, she really wanted a fight. Something, anything to punch. Team ABRN secured a base camp alongside the beastiary instructor, retired Sargent Herrara. He was quite the interesting guy. Short in stature but stacked like bricks, with a Lever Action Sword Rifle. With his strength, he could slice through anything with his sword. Urania pulls out her staff "There is a nearby pack. If my guess is right, they will pass through the base camp." Yang nods, putting a finger to her lips to signal for quiet, then she points to Genivieve, then the roofs of the ruins, then to Neros, pointing him to go straight ahead, then points to Urania, clenching her fist.
Neros smirks "The hell are you doing? They are far enough away you can talk." Yang folds her arms "Excuse me for trying to be more authentic and enthusiastic in taking up my leaderly-" Urania puts a hand to Yang's mouth and pushes her into the shadows, Genivieve and Neros ducked into cover as well as a nevermore passes overhead.
"Yang's right. We do this quiet and by her order." Suddenly Arslan yells out "We have grimm! Team YUNG, support!" Urania slaps her forehead.
"Idiot is going to attract all of the grimm!" Yang nods "Genivieve, Urania, take the high ground. Neros I need you to use Genevieve's cover fire to flank the horde while I support Team ABRN. You three try to figure out a way to slow down any more of the horde the fighting may attract!"
Yang hurried to the base and she saw Arslan knocking the grimm around like toy dolls, Reese Chloris using her hoverboard fighting technique to fight through the crowd, disorienting the larger grimm and decimating the smaller Beowolves. She leaps over an Ursa, her hoverboard flying under it and slicing its legs, and as she lands her hoverboard becomes two machine pistols. Rolling to her feet she fires into the crowd in every direction. Bolin uses his staff to rapidly strike an Ursa, hitting it from nearly every direction faster than it can keep pace. Nadir provides fire support from within the building. Arslan seems to sigh with relief as she hears the familiar sound of shotgun fire, as Yang leaps in the air and rains fire down upon the large advancing group of grimm. Yang runs to join the front line "Where is the rest of your team?"
"Flanking. Don't worry, we got this." Sarge runs over to Yang "Where-"
"Rooftops, they are going around the back of the group, going to try and block their path."
"Brilliant. I will join them." Yang nods as he hurries off, helping Arslan to fight off the Ursa and Boarbatusks as they came.
"Reese is thinning out the weak and causing confusion but her Aura is dropping. I need you to get in there and get her out." Yang nods and leaps up in the air, slamming her fist down on the head of an Ursa then firing off him, launching herself above the crowd. She fires behind her and kicks a Boarbatusk into a wall, deflecting a swipe from an Ursa with her left gauntlet and knocking it back from her with her right. Fireballs rain down upon the rear flank and amongst the many smells of battle came the smell of the burning grimm. Not pleasant.
Yang relaxed, amidst the fight, allowing her punching to fall into a quick rhythm. It was Crowe who taught her that she could channel her semblance while maintaining complete control and rhythm. An uppercut and three rapid strikes to the chest of an Ursa sends it into two more, then a rapid left followed by a heavy right. Gryphon grimm fly overhead, and Yang leaps onto a decayed streetlamp, firing into the crowd of them, downing a few and Genivieve kills the rest. A boarbatusk hits the lamppost, knocking her off balance as it falls over but she back flips and lands on her feet easily, firing behind her and right back into the crowd. Arslan jumps in right next to her and the two fight back to back.
"You took all the attention and I started getting bored."
"With this hair and bod I tend to draw a lot of attention to myself."
"You seem too top heavy to be an effective fighter." Yang misses a beat and is almost bulldozed by a Borbatusk, but she stops its spinning attack by grabbing it by the horns mid-rotation and then throwing it. "Jealously is not a pretty shade on you."
"Ohh my and here I was told you were sensitive to that kind of thing."
"Banter in the middle of combat could get someone killed." A nevermore flies overhead and its razor sharp, deadly feathers rain down upon the grimm and Yang alike. She tackles Arslan, covering her body but knows that her Aura can only withstand so much. Hopefully one of them gets out alive. Several impale the ground around them and Yang looks up to see Genivieve had deflected each feather from hitting them. "Nice job saving my butt."
"We need to do something about that bird." As it turns around for another pass Neros leaps off a roof and decapitates it, landing on the opposite roof.
