Chapter 7: Lost in nowhere
"HELLO! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE!?" Yang shouted again hoping for a respond, but just like her first five minutes of shouting there were none "HELLLLLO!? I'M GETTING BORED HERE!" she taunted and putted both her hands on her hips
After her last gesture the world finally decided to give a friendly respond
(Bushes rustle)
Yang then turned toward the sound and take a peek at the bush "Is someone there?"
And there was someone there, but that someone was not a person that someone was instead a fully grown Ursa, with it claws ready to rip apart anybody unfortunate enough to cross it's path , but just like the Ursa Yang was not someone unfortunate enough to crosses it's path "NOPE."
Her reflex kicked in and she back flipped away, putting a short distance between her and the Ursa she then quickly tensed her muscle automatically activating her weapon Ember Cecilia, in less than a second a second Ursa bolted out of the bush but Yang once again back flipped her way to safety
The first Ursa then charged at her again but this time she was prepared, she reared her fist back and punched the Ursa right on it's stomach and with the assistance of her gauntlet shotgun send it back right to where he came from
Seeing one of it's kind getting tossed around the second Ursa charged as well attempting to disassemble the blonde brawler using it's claw but his movement was slow due to his mass and Yang easily ducked under the swing and retaliate with an shotgun gauntlet shell enchanted uppercut, followed by a shotgun gauntlet boosted kick sending it rolling to the first Ursa (who's surprisingly still alive)
Not seeing them as a threat She decided to ask "You guys wouldn't happen to seen a girl in a red hood would you?" the Ursas took this as a taunt and roared " You could just say no." one of them charged again still attempting to dismantle the blond using it's claw, Yang dodged the first swipe by stepping back and casually back flipped the second one
She then cheerfully let out a short laugh and spoke "Jeez you guys couldn't have hit the wrong side of the…." the blond brawler did not finished her sentence as she saw the most awful thing in the entire history of Remnant, A STRAND OF HER HAIR FALLING TO THE GROUND
"YOU….." Yang gruffed with clear fury on her voice, and the two Ursa's look at each other in confusion
"YOU MONSTER!" Angered beyond reasoning Yang's eyes turned red and she fired Ember Cecilia on herself, but rather than getting any damage she looks as if she just got her aura recharged, and with fury of ten thousand women attacked the Ursa who did the inhumane crime
She fired Ember Cecilia again this time using it to propel herself towards her victim, the Ursa tried to dispose the girl but once again Yang was faster, she hit the Ursa first and continued with an uppercut sending the grimm bear flying
But she was far from done, she once again fired Ember Cecilia sending herself towards the airborne bear and with a flurry of Shotgun powered punches ended the creature's short lived reign (also killing few trees and leave behind a small trail of fire)
The second Ursa angered due seeing it's comrade got killed, it ran toward her earning the blonde brawler's attention and ire "WHAT YOU WANT SOME TO!?" she challenged, it replied by standing on it's hind legs and letting out a small roar but before it can avenge it's fellow grim
(BLADE SLASH)
The Ursa let out a barely audible grunt before falling to the ground confusing the blonde brawler, she then noticed a black gun/chain sickle on it's back and realized that someone just stole her kill, another interesting thing is that the weapon wasn't exactly a chain sickle, although it clearly has it's sickle feature it got a black like ribbon rope instead of a standard chain
Yang then saw the face of the person who stole her kill and find herself face to face with Blake, the book lover pulled back her weapon and put it back on it's sheathe (which by the looks of it can also be used as a weapon) and lastly flashed a smirk at Yang who is clearly not amused
"I could've taken it." The blonde stated and the bushes once again rustle
Blake unsheated her weapon again and pointed it's gun end at the rustling bush preparing to shoot, while Yang reared her right hand back readying a slug to fire at the suspicious plant, but before one of the two can do so the vegetative spoke
"DON'T SHOOT I'M A FRIENDLY!"
Blake lowered her weapon while Yang squinted her eyes "OH YEAH HOW DO WE KNOW THAT!?" apparently her word earned her a 'really?' look from Blake while the bush shout back
"WELL GRIMM USUALLY DON'T TALK BACK NOW DO THEY!?"
Realizing her error Yang relaxed her arm and her gauntlet returned to their bracelet forms "Thank you." The figure said as he stepped out of the bush, she recognized him instantly and her eyes went wide for a second before returning to normal again (and turned back to iliac at the same time)
"Hey you're that hat boy I stand next to earlier." She stated
"Hat boy!?" he repeated clearly feeling offended "I got a name you know! And how would you feel if I call you Blondie….., or….. aviator girl?"
"Okay-okay sheesh I'm sorry." The iliac apologized and the hat wearing boy also seems to lax
"Thank you." He accepted "See all we need is to apologize, I mean what kind of people would still be smug after a sorry?"
Meanwhile with Weiss and Ruby
"ATCHOOO!" Weiss sneezed as she dodged a blow from a Beowolf
"BLESS YOU!" Ruby said as she sliced one of the death hounds in half, but Weiss's retort was far from what she had hoped for
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU DUNCE!" Weiss shouted as she dodged another blow "CONCENTRATE ON YOUR OPPONENT!"
"WELL YOU JUST SNEEZED! AND YOU HAVE TO BE POLITE IN ANY KIND OF SITUATION SO BLESS YOU!" She then beheaded a Beowolf using her scythe though it's clear she put too much fury in it
"UGHHHH! CAN'T YOU JUST SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO!" Weiss then performed a stab at one of the beowolf but the creature was faster and managed to dodge "CONCENTRATE!"
"WELL I'M!" (BANG) Ruby fired her crescent Rose sending herself at high speed toward a Beowolf before (SLASH) horizontally sliced it in half "SORRY!"
"JUST SHUT UP!" the heiress ordered and the two girls continued their battle in silence that both of them clearly enjoyed
"I just can't imagine that kind of person." The hat wearing blonde finished
"Right….." the Iliac played along not wanting the conversation to drag for too long
…
….
…
"So….. what's your name?" The hat boy asked
"Excuse me?"
"Your name, I mean I can ask first right? Since you almost…., you know….."
Yang's cheeks went slightly red in embarrassment causing her to stutter "OH…Yeah….right, well my name is Yang and this is…"
"Blake….." the raven haired finished
"Okay….." hat-boy nodded apparently trying to memorize their names "Well my name is Washington but you can call ME DUCK!" He shouted the last part, Blake quickly complied while Yang instead laughed
"What kind of a nickna…" she however was silenced once she saw Wash reaching for his a pistol on his hip and the sound of a roar everything she managed to somehow turned around and everything slows down
An Ursa was charging right at her with it's jaw wide open and it's claws ready to shred, Yang only managed to bring her shoulder up hoping to lessen the damage and plan to unleash everything she got once recovered, but a shot was suddenly heard
(BANG)
The Ursa still hit Yang but it was far less pain full than she expected it to be, she then noticed that the Ursa did absolutely nothing after that and blood coming out of the beast's skull, with her deduction skill she decided that the Ursa was indeed dead
"UGH!" Yang pushed the dissolving corpse off her and stood up "Thanks…., that could've gone a pretty bad." She thanked while dusting herself off and proceeded to take care of her hair
"you're welcome….., but that wasn't me actually." The hat wearing male admitted causing Yang to ask
"Then who was it?" and her answer was the sound of a gun chamber being emptied, a sniper rifle to be exact and the one who fired it was none other than
"My partner Church, nice shot by the way….." the male blond complimented but the sniper stays silent
"OH, well thanks a lot Church that could've gone Beary bad."
…
…..
…..
"I'm sorry what did you said?" the hat wearing blond bawled hoping that he didn't heard that right
"I said it could've gone Beary… Bad get it? Bear? Bad?" she responded not seeing any
"OH." Washington paled remembering a fellow agent who had a similar taste in pun
"I'm gonna have to deal with this for the next four years…." Blake realized the Grimm thruth (no pun intended)
"Yeah whatever let's get going." Church somehow ignored the terrible pun and walked away, with Yang close behind proud of her handiwork, leaving both of the pun's victims that is still trying to recover
(CLANG!)
Weiss parried yet another Beowolf attack that also sends her skidding backward, gracefully however she dug her feet into the ground slowing herself down into a halt, frustration then quickly took over as she realizes that she has yet to beat any of the simple minded beasts
(SLASH!)
"THAT'S SIX!" Ruby shouted killing another Beowolf, she then slammed her weapon's bladed side to the ground and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the grim managing to kill and crippled one of the beast at the same time "SEVEN AND….."
She spun her weapon in the air and pointed the gun side of the death mechanism behind her, pulling the trigger and sending her towards the crippled hound and putting him out of his misery, by bisecting him in half "Eight….." Ruby finished her counting disappearing in another flurry of roses
The heiress was wide eyed at the display of skill but quickly covered it 'I cannot let this dolt outshine me!' she then close her eyes and took a deep breath 'remember your training Weiss.' She told herself and began recounting all the lesson and training she took
'Heads up, shoulders back, right foot forward…, not that forward, wait for the right time to strike and…' the heiress narrowed her eyes making eye contact with the Alpha Beowolf staring deep to the barbaric beast's soulless eyes and suddenly the temperature dropped
Sweat began to form once more on the Heiress forehead, her entire body tensed and her gut was suddenly filled by a familiar emotion fear…..
All she have to do was to perform a simple dash and stabbed the beast and all of it would be over, she has practiced this maneuver over and over again until it was engraved into her skull, but there is only one thing that differ this from her training and the current situation
Their eyes
'What's it thinking? Why isn't it running? Doesn't it know that it should've ran when it's outmatched?' and so on, the longer Weiss stared into the Alpha's eyes the more unsure she become of her next course of action
Seemingly knowing of the girl's fear and doubt the Alpha roared and Weiss snapped, in panic she lunged at the Alpha whose already prepared for her assault, the Grimm's arm reared back ready to shred the girl
"GOTCHA!" Ruby came out of nowhere striking the Alpha inflicting an sizeable wound on it's side
Weiss stopped mid-dash and forced herself to a halt, this action however cost the heiress her balance and causes her to swing her rapier in an attempt to regain it, this allowed her to stand properly once more but she also accidently pulled the trigger unleashing a line of fire across the ground and set a nearby tree ablaze
Ruby noticed the explosions and turned around taking her attention off the wounded Alpha, who is more than happy to take the opportunity. The wounded beast performed a sloppy and slow claw slash at the little red hooded girl who turned around just fast enough to see the claws coming at her
Ruby however miraculously managed to guard against the blow by using her weapon as a makeshift shield, she however was sent flying by the sheer force behind the attack and was knocked straight to Weiss
"HEY WATCH IT!" Ruby said to the white dressed girl behind her who oddly merely grunted to her complain, she then noticed that the heiress was far more different than when she started this fight
Her expressions was no longer of that filled with pride, her hands were trembling and her face was filled with sweat, yes it was no longer the face of a proud heiress it was the face of someone who have never killed a living thing
"Oh you gotta be kidding me!" Ruby shouted in frustration and grabbed Weiss's wrist, it was clear that the heiress was trained inside a controlled area at all time and never even once got send to the grimm filled forest
Ruby was just like her at first thinking that with enough practice she can overcome any opponent, but she also learned the hard way that there is only a thin line between confidence and arrogance, the first grimm she fought was a beowolf and it should've been a walk in the park
Should've
It was far harder than any training or simulation she has ever face, even when she easily got high score in every test, all she managed to do was to land only one shot at the grimm before it flees, and the other students fare even worse than she does and it was on that day she swore to never underestimate an enemy
It was the most important experience for a hunter to taste the bitter defeat, to learn that instinct is also crucial as much as skills and semblance, and Ruby knew if they managed to escape this situation Weiss will at least see that she is not as good as she thought (Ruby also felt really good saying that)
But the Beowolf did not think so well one of them at least, the beast was clearly wounded as it required the aid of both his arm just to stand ,Ruby looked around the Alpha was howling (for some reason)while the other Beowolves are scrambling in panic and in confusion (due to the fire Weiss started earlier)
Normally Ruby would've simply killed the Beowlof, but she remembered Weiss who is still in daze (and gripping her arm) and an idea suddenly appeared a good one, she yanked her arm out of the heiress grip and grabbed her shoulder
"You're going to thank me after this." Ruby told the heiress and shove her at the dying Beowolf
Meanwhile, Weiss who was shocked by her 'partner's' action did not know what to think and for the first time in her life acted based purely on her instinct, she sloppily draw her rapier and performed a poor stab at the beast
But it worked
The weapon went right through the beast's skull with a shank, and seconds later fell to the ground with the weapon still embed on it's dissolving head, while the heiress fell on her knees overcome by the sensation of her action
Ruby quickly putted her hand on her shoulder "HEY YOU DID REAT BUT WE SHOULD TEALLY GET OUT OF HERE!" her word snapped Weiss out of her though, and once again out of instinct followed the younger girl's order
But before they can successfully escape the fire disaster two Beowolves suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked their escape path
"OH COME ON!" Ruby protested and unclipped her gun-scythe's mag reloading it with a new one, but she got her work cut short for her as two gunshot was heard, one from a transformable handgun, and one from a shotgun
(BANG)
(BANG)
The two Beowolves fell to the ground and Ruby smiled recognizing the two figures standing not far behind the corpses, they were none other than her new (and only friends)
"XAVIER! SARGE!" She happily cheered
"SUP?" the younger ironwood answered "We saw the fire and…."
"Came here to help?" Ruby finished Xavier's statement
"Well I do…" he's just
"I'M HERE TO SEE THE BEAUTIFULL SCENERY OF DESTRUCTION AND THE SMELL OF BURNING GRIMM!" Sarge revealed with glee followed by a pained howl from a Beowolf "And also listening to the sound of their suffering! He he bonus…."
Ruby gave Xavier a 'what the heck' look
"Just roll with it…., please…" he then take a glance at Weiss who is still holding Ruby's arm "What's up with her?"
"Well apparently this is her first time killing a Grimm."
"Hah-hah yeah right nobody is dumb enough to….." Ruby shoot him with the 'does it look like I'm kidding' stare while Weiss look at the ground in shame "OH SHIT."
…
…
…
"We should really get out of here." Xavier suggested
"Yeah great idea." Ruby accepted and proceed to head towards the escape route with Weiss in tow
"SARGE WE GOTTA GO NOW!"
"AWWW! BUT I STILL WANT TO SEE MORE OF THEIR SUFFERING!" the elder ironwood bawled
"COME ON THIS FOREST GONNA GET BURNED DOWN ANY MINUTE NOW!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT." The older Ironwood still objected not showing any sign of giving up, luckily one of the tree that's on fire fell in front of him and Xavier give his elder brother the 'WELL!?' look "OW ALRIGHT I'M GOING."
As the four make their escape the alpha saw them and the corpse of it's fallen brethren, he wanted to avenge his brother's demise but know that with this current condition cannot hope to even reach the four, and so in frustration unleashed another howl
"AOOOOOOOOOOOO….
OOOOOOOH….
There's a place I know that's tucked away!
A place where you and I can stay.
Where we can go to laugh and play,
and have adventures every day!
I know it sounds hard to believe but guys and gals it's true!
Camp Campbell is the place for me and you!
We'll swim through lakes and climb up trees,
catch fish, bugs, bears, and honeybees!
There's endless possibilities,
and no that's not hyperbole!
Our motto's Campe Diem and that means I'm telling you...
We've got…"
"Jaune?"
"Yes pyrrha?" Jaune turned his head around to his new partner wondering what's on her mind
"What are you…..., singing?" she half heartedly ask
Jaune smiled widely at the question "Well that partner is the official camp campbell's song."
"The what?"
"Camp Campbell song." He repeated "I'll have you know I'm also an official camp councelor…, until the camp got shut down because turns out to be a fugitive…."
"Oh…" Pyrrha blurted "Well I'm sure it was a….., interesting experience." The spratan nervously added
"You can bet it was! My uncle always told me that everything is boring without a little bit of 'that thing'"
Here he goes again with his uncle, it doesn't directly bother her but it makes her somewhat uneasy that he never talked about his own family excluding his uncle, she also can't help but feeling a tingle that warns her not to dwell too much on it and that she have heard of him before , but nothing beats curiosity
"You seem to consider your uncle highly, what about your other relatives?"
The male instantly froze while the red-head remembered where she had heard of him before
The Arc family was famous for it's line of well known hunter, but now it is also known because of one other incident, the custody of none other than Jaune himself and the state of the current Arc family, though calling it a family was a understatement
The man behind the incident was none other than the current head of the family himself, Jaune's father Jonathan Arc but she guessed that he would never call such monster his own father, or even the fact that they are blood related
At first Jonathan was the ideal man the kind of man that any man (and sometimes even women) wants to be, coming from a line of heroes it was only a matter of time before he rises to be one
And he did, as a hunter he has many famous achievement and even ones that other hunters can only dreamed of, and it only got better once she met the love of his life Rose Arc, with her aid the two were the invincible duo, and were blessed with three beautiful daughters, the eldest daughter Josephine, and the twins June and July
Then everything falls apart, during one of their missions Rose were somehow wounded by a Beowolf and since then was left wheelchair bound, that was when Jonathan Arc changed forever, straight after the event he began training all of his daughters completely ignoring their young age and his Wive's anger
And after that it only got worse, Rose then conceived another set of children, a group of female triplets and of course the youngest of all Jaune….
Jonathan has high hopes for his only son and apparently a hope that is completely misplaced, Jaune showed not even the slightest of aptitude on mastery over any weapon and it was on that same day that his father had practically disowned him
But it only got worse, his sister was jealous of him being their father's only son and began to seclude him, they did not straight up state their dislike but they would accidently hit him a little bit too hard during a sparring match
And that was when Locus came in, Jean Pierre Arc was the shadow of Jonathan outshone by his brother's achievement since birth he decided to go on an alternate route of many military achievement, that is usually kept unknown to public
One day he decided visited the Arc household to see how his brother's doing, only to see Jaune sparring against his eldest sister, the fight was clearly one sided and Locus quickly demanded the slaughter to stop, but nobody listened
It was the last straw when Josephine hit Jaune 'a little bit too hard'so the soldier himself jumped into the arena and step between the two combatant ordering them to stand down, Jaune quickly complied but Josephine thought that this was 'a test from his father' and proceed to attack her own uncle
Needless to say it quickly ended with the female's defeat, later that night Jonathan and Jean had a little argument that ended with a not so little brawl, they found Jean unconscious on the ground next to a barely conscious Jonathan
The next day Jean claimed the costudy of the youngest Arc, Jonathan had complied the claim seconds later because to him it was like throwing away a trash, and seconds later Rose Arc demanded a divorce, and he complied to that too
Under Jonathan's tutelage Jaune was useless, but under Jean's tutelage he was even worse, but Jean did not give up he keep training him and unlike Jonathan encouraged him and after days, weeks and months of training it finally paid of
Jaune Arc graduated the top of his class from Mcgraff military academy and it only took him two years, while it only got worse for what's Left of the Arc Family, but in the end it died down and was replaced by another sensation named 'the invincible girl' and the male Arc was quickly forgotten by the world once more
'Curiosity killed the cat.' The word rang inside the spartan's mind
"Jaune I'm…."
"No…., just… don't." He paused "Let's just find the relic." He said in an emotionless tone and began walking away
Pyrrha just stood there being too late realizing her mistake, she was so excited by the fact that she can finally interact with another person without actually taking in any account that he himself was a celebrity, and even worse a survivor
"You're coming or not?" He casually asked
The Red head slightly brighten at the question hoping that she can make amends "Yes, I'm right behind you."
Beating a king taijitu would require a lot of work and effort and sometimes the works and efforts of multiple number of hunters and huntresses, but for Lie Ren it would still require some work and effort
Don't get him wrong to him fighting this middle size grimm wasn't that hard but it wasn't easy either, Ren jumped into the air not giving the snake a chance to constrict him and at the same time firing few shots at the lizard
The shot merely bounce of the beast's thick scale and it lunged with great speed at the airborne ninja, but Ren was prepared easily he fixed his position in mid-air and kicked the snake away sending it tumbling to the ground while he graciously landed to the ground
Not giving it time to recover Ren jumped once again and strike the still ditzy snake using one of his storm flowers blade, but the attack instead causes the grim to snap out of it's dizziness and once again it lunged at the green ninja
The Tajitu clearly put too much force into the attack (proved by the earth straker it created) expecting the ninja's movement to be slower, but Ren soundly dodged the blow and retaliate by jabbing both of his storm flowers blade at the serpent's head
The ninja sighed in relief but his expressions went sour once he heard another slithering voice from behind, he turned around and not much to his surprise found the other head of the King Taijitu lunging at him and once again dodged it
He landed soundly on the ground without any scratch well at least for now he gritted his teeth seeing that the snake is ready to strike with both of it's head and his assumption was correct, without any warning the king serpent strike and the battle resumed
Ren dodged the black head's strike and slid down on it's neck effectively preventing the black head to attack again and allowed him to focus on the white one, but the heads was more cunning than he expected the white Taijitu slid over the black's neck forcing him to jump away
The white Taijitu lunged at the airborne gunslinger, Ren tried to stop it by firing at the second head in mid-air but his bullets proved futile against the beast's thick skin and the serpents strucked it's first blow
The impact send Ren tumbling to the ground and even worse causes him to drop his weapons, dazed by the blow Ren stood up slightly dazed and just in time to see the black head's lunging at him with it's mouth wide open for the second and last blow but he was faster
He brought his arm up just in time to CATCH the beast biggest fangs before proceeding to rip both of them off along with few other teeth, the grim reared back clearly angered about losing it's only weapon and lunged at the ninja once more
But Ren spun just in time to dodge the attack and jabbed the serpent's fang at it's own eye, he then continued with an aura powered blow to the embed fang sending it piercing through the black head and subsequently caused it to explode
'One down…..' The white head roared in fury seeing his literal other half got killed 'One to go' and Ren charged at the white serpent
And after a few more minutes of 'squable' Ren managed to slay the white monstrousity and is now hoping to be granted a brief moment of peace to catch his breath, he once again make his weapons 'disappear' into his sleeves and dusted himself off thinking that he had earned himself a moment of tranquility
"GRAWH! GRAWH!"
A really brief moment that is, he sighed and turned around not surprised to see his 'new' partner hanging upside down from one of the tree branches smiling widely as if their initiation was an experience to enjoy
'then again this is Nora….' He thought to himself and seeing her smiling happily like this makes him think that he actually has a chance to enjoy this as much as she does
"I still don't think that's what a sloth sounds like."
Her response was a simple yet legendary gesture of
"BOOP!"
