Hey everyone, it's another chapter! I noticed last chapter missed the whole 'landing strategy' from the last chapter, but it will fit in better in this chapter. So, get ready for a long chapter of David following Ruby, making sure the events of RWBY happen as they should. So, ENJOY!
Chapter 4 - Chess Pieces
Well, this is higher than I expected. I look down at the ground, as I speed towards the ground at terminal velocity. It turns out we weren't a few hundred feet in the air, but a few THOUSAND feet in the air. I look down and think of a landing strategy. OK, at this speed, anyone will suffer death or extreme pain, even with full aura. Ah, those trees! My daggers can stick into the wood and slow down my speed and I can just jump to another tree and look out for Ruby. With that, I reach back to my crossbow and pull out the two daggers and ready myself for my collision. I collide, the daggers dig into the tree and I suddenly slow down at a increasingly fast speed. I jump to my right and land on a thick branch. OK, now Ruby.
I look up to all the other students falling from the sky, as I landed first. I see a man in big, bulky armor and a mace slam his mace into a tree, Nora use her hammers recoil to slow her decent, Blake using her shadow semblance to slow down, Ruby using her gun to slow dow- Oh, there's Ruby. Her recoil won't slow her down enough, I have to use one of my semblances to slow her down, not one Ozpin suggested, but it will work. I pt up my right hand and my yellow aura starts to glow around my hand and arm. Ruby, without noticing, starts to slow down at an increasing rate without her recoil. She unfolds her weapon into a scythe and latches to a tree. I put my arm down and lean down on a tree, collapsing on the branch. Man, I won't be using that Semblance again for a while. I start climbing down the tree and when I reach the ground, put the daggers back in the crossbow and I see something rush by. Hmm, could be a hunter, could be nothing, but could be a grimm. I have to find out, any of those three could hurt Ruby, and I don't want to face Ozpin's wrath.
I start to sneak, crossing across trees, making sure Ruby doesn't notice me. I hear some roars in the distance, look to it, look back at Ruby and she's gone, Shit, where did she go? Did she use her Semblance? Damn speed, the one thing I can't catch up to. I use my Telepathy and find Ruby, She found that snow bitch, maybe I should keep an eye out for her. I turn around and see about a dozen beowolves. The one beowolf taller and broader than the others roar at me, and the other ten beowolfs approach me. So, time for some fun! I pull the crossbow off my back, take out a red tipped arrow and loaded it into the bow. I turn around, aim and shoot the fire dust arrow into the alpha beowolfs skull, and catches fire and dies. The other dozen beowolves turn to the alpha, turn to me and all roar and charge. I pull out the two daggers and activate the power dust into the gloves, glowing the hilts of the daggers purple and black.
Two beowolves charge and raise their claws at me, I disappear into a cloud of yellow smoke, and re-appear behind the beowolves and stab them both in their skulls. Two down, eight to go, I back flip and land on a beowolf back, grab its jaw and stab the dagger into it's mouth, killing it instantly. I turn 180 degrees and throw both daggers, going through two beowolves and then passing through another two beowolves, killing all four and turning them to clouds of smoke. Three left... A beowolf charges at me, I lift up my right leg as high as possible, and slam the boot on its head, crushing it's skull. I side flip, turn 180 degrees and punch another beowolf in the mouth, breaking it's jaw. The last beowolf, now filled with anger, charges at me and slashed my forehead, knocking me onto the ground, and raises it's claw to take my face off. Man, this is going to hurt, a lot more than the beowolf, I raise my right arm and my arm glows yellow, and an inch from my face, the beowolfs claw stops. I clench my fist, and release it, sending the beowolf into the forest, and I pass out.
The beowolf with the broken jaw approaches my body, growls at me, raises its claw, and falls to it's death. I am woken up by the sudden collapse of the body, turn around and see my new partner for the next four years. Indiana.
"Man, I've got to get you out of here, I encountered a Ursa, it wasn't happy." Indiana picks me up and I limp away, my arm around his shoulder. I look a him, not noticing he is wearing a different combat outfit that signal. His hair is dark blue, with brown eyes and spiky hair, his jacket is blue leather, with a white shirt underneath it, black combat trousers and a pair of blue trainers. His weapon is slung over his shoulder, an automatic rifle with an extendable knife underneath the gun, like a musket, and a bunch of dust grenades attached to his belt. We continue to walk until I see a fire in the distance, Oh no, Ruby.
"Indiana, I was given a mission by Ozpin that you have to help me with, we need to shadow Ruby and make sure she makes it back to Beacon, unharmed" I explain to Indiana.
"You got it Boss, we need to find her though. Any ideas?"
"I reckon that that fire was caused by that bitchy heiress, who is now Ruby's partner."
"So, we better go." With that, Me and my partner sprint to catch up with Ruby.
One Hour Later...
"Heads uuuuuuuuuup!" I hear Ruby yelling from the sky, How did she get there? Is that a Nevermore!?, and I see Jaune coming from a different direction, and they collide together, into a tree. My scroll vibrates, look at it with a confused face and read the message.
David, you have a Nevermore and Deathstalker inbound, meet with team RWBY and JNPR and help them get back to beacon, Vince and Dom are also inbound. - Ozpin
"What's 'RWBY' and 'JNPR'?" Indiana asks me.
"My guess, teams. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren. RWBY and JNPR. Let's go and introduce ourselves while we wait for Vince and Dom." With that, me and Indiana walk out of the bush, and I yell "What's up bitches!"
"Hey, no bad words!" Ruby yells back at me, Yang simply laughs.
"Whatever, we have to go, like now, there are two high powered grimms on the way. Let's grab a chess piece and let's go."
"Why should we believe you, how do you know there are grimm, who made you in charge!?" Weiss yells at me, walking towards me.
"Listen ice queen, Ozpin told me, he want's to make sure we all don't die, so he told me about the grimm, the nevermore you pissed off and the deathstalker stalking Pyrrha, and I'm incharge because I am the only one who has the capabilities to command eleven other people. Got it?" Weiss looks at me shocked, never being spoken back to before, and simply walks back towards Ruby.
"I trust him, he can read minds, and can do other stuff, he's right. What should we do?" Ruby asks me, acting less childish.
"Firstly, we wait for Pyrrha, Vince and Dom. Secondly, all of our pairs are to grab a chess piece. Lastly, I get us all back to Beacon, alive and well." As I talk, Pyrrha appears, chased by a deathstalker and Vince and Dom are running from a pissed off nevermore. "Step one complete."
"OK, let's all get a chess piece." And with that, Me, Ruby, Yang, Jaune, Nora and Vince all walk to the chess pieces and all pick one. Me and Vince pick a White Bishop, Ruby and Yang pick a White Knight, with Yang calling it a 'cute little pony' and Jaune and Nora both picket a White Rook, Nora now king of her castle.
"Step two complete, now, let's go back to Beacon." I say to everyone, getting varied expressions.
"Run and live, that is an idea I can get behind!" Jaune says to everyone.
"Right, let's go!" Ruby proclaims, and with that, we all start running back to the cliffs. Little did we know, the hard part was still to come. This has been too easy...
End of Chapter Four
Hey, thanks for reading chapter four! Next chapter will be a big action scene, between a nevermore, a deathstalker and a creep against teams RWBY, JNPR and DVID.
