Chapter 6: the rescue part 2
Dante, Edward, and Derek followed their fanus friend to the docks, it's where he said he smelled Andrea, Dantes scroll said back up was 5 minutes out but it was getting dark out. Dante reached into his coat and pulled out what appeared to be a black cloak that looked like it had been through hell, claw marks and bullet holes littered it so badly you couldn't make out the crest on the back. "your brining out the big guns?" Derek asked nervously. He hadn't seen the cloak used in a long time. "Yes." Dante said strapping the cloak to his back and pulling on the hood "we go all out no screwing around, Derek take the adjacent roof aim for their joints, Edward do what you do best, stealth it up and rescue Andrea. I'll make a big enough bang to grab their attention and buy you time. We clear on the plan?"
"what's the extraction?" Edward asked Dante
"The reinforcements will be the extraction."
And with that they got into positions Edward snuck in through and open window and Dante climbed onto the roof. Peering down through a skylight he could see the five hostiles gathered around what appeared to be an office talking, three of them were starting to move away one stayed by the door and the last guy went his own way, Dante pulled out an earpiece and plugged it in, "On your shot." the group of three was directly underneath him. The shot echoed across the abandoned docks and shattered the silence of the night, only a moment later the demon goat screamed in pain and collapsed blood splattering across the wall behind him….. as the bullet hit the window Derek jumped through the skylight directly onto the blue haired guy from earlier effectively crushing him. Dante heard the crunch of bones and the tearing of flesh none of it his thanks to Aura "Fuck!" the poor bastard screeched in pain, before either of the two female combatants, on his right the ninja chick on his left the purple one, he took aim with Moonless night and fired one .44 round from each scythe, the ninjas aura took the hit having flared up after their comrade was squished, purple wasn't so lucky the bullet punched through her gut crimson liquid oozing from her stomach. Dante then used his semblance to speed past them giving each a quick slash for good measure one blade struck Aura the other slipped in between two ribs and tore open purples side, black smoke filled the air around him, "Alright who's next?" Dantes bravado clearly being used to try and get them pissed.
More gunshots echoed throughout the warehouse, Derek was trying to take out the skull mask guy before he could engage Dante but the fucker was cutting his rounds out of the air with his knives, "How is that even possible….." he muttered firing the last 4 rounds in his clip in quick succession. Before the shells even hit the floor Skull cut them all out of the air. He then turned and started walking towards Dante who was currently engaged i "Elisabeth handle the sniper" Skull ordered, because of his mask Derek didnt known Skull had said anything. Well at least the goats out for a bit. Derek shot him the thigh he won't be moving anytime soon. As Derek was reaching for his second mag he heard the distinctive sound of an arrow whizzing by his ear "Shit" Derek panicked slightly not really use to be shot at, he rolled over to cover and reloaded, thump, "Fuck me." the ledge he was hiding behind exploded.
Back inside the purple haired girl was bleeding all over the floor, "hehehehe….. your fun scythey~ you've shown me yours," she coughed up blood and her purple eyes begin to sparkle. "Now i'm going to show you mine~!" she rushed at Dante blood oozing from both her wounds as she ran. Her heart shaped Morningstar creating a whirlwind above her head "HAAAAA!" She roared as she began to smash around her attempting to hit Dante, concrete splinters rained down on the two combatants.
How the hell is she so fast with those wounds? He felt wind next to his face as he dodged another blow, wait where the hell's the ninja? Dante dodged another blow this time entering her guard and hitting her across the face with the hammer fist, he felt her skin break and her jaw crack. She stumbled backwards, she looked at him popped her jaw into place and smiled. "What the hell is wrong with you." Dante's eyes went wide all that damage and she should have activated her aura by now. "lets just say it's my thing~" her eyes drooped and she proceeded to walk towards Dante, as she was approaching the air took on the smell of ozone. A blue bolt of lightning roared across the room and struck Dante in the back knocking him against the adjacent wall. "Next time kill your target asshole!" blue stumbled next to purple and spat out blood his right arm hung limp and in his left his shark head blade crackled with energy, "I am so gonna enjoy killing you"
"Percy! I was having fuuuun~!"
"shut up" he spat blood again.
"Im not finished yet…" Dante slowly rose from the ground "It's time i show exactly who you're fucking with" Dante's left eyes looked cracked with red poking out from behind it, he reached up to it and removed his shattered contact lens revealing one crimson red eye. He then stood up straight covered in dust, glass, and blood dripping from the new cut across his forehead. He pulled his black hood back on (begin playing let the flames begin by Paramore) the emblem on his back flashed red and flames began to lick its fabric, the hood cast a shadow over Dante's face only his red eye glowing in its darkness.
"nice trick asshole." Percy fired a bolt directly at Dante and only hit a wisp of black smoke, the air behind him suddenly felt very hot, before he could even turn his head a chain wrapped around his throat and dante threw him over his shoulder onto the floor, his cloak scorching Percy's skin wherever it made contact. Dante using his semblance unwrapped the chain and put a boot to his throat before anyone else could move.
"Check mate" Dantes kusarigama pointed directly at percy's head.
Back outside Derek pissing himself, not literally, after the explosive arrow knocked him on his ass the ninja had rushed his position her semblance must have been some kind of shadow clone thing because there were three of her, she closed the distance in the time it took Derek to fire two rounds now she was using her bladed whip to engage in close quarters. Derek's heart felt like bursting and cold sweat drenched his clothing, ever since the Ursa attack he couldn't handle close range, i have to get away, the ninja wasted no movement if it wasn't for Derek's reaction time he'd be dead ten times over, he used his weapons Naginata form to deflect the bladed part or he simply moved out of the way he never actually tried to go on the offensive. "Pathetic" was all she said boredly, she feines a strike to the head forcing Derek to block high, when he did this she snapped kicked him in the chest winding him and sending him back a few feet. "Die" her crossbow aimed at Derek's head. Im fucking dead! He slammed his eyes closed and waited, when he heard gunshots he thought it was over, wait she had a crossbow… he opened his eyes to see the ninja falling back and a girl with a black bow on taking pot shots at her with a handgun with a black ribbon attached. "You alright?" she said glancing at him, he didn't answer all he did was stare at his rescuer, "Can you fight?" her voice stern but concerned, Derek shook his head and stood up "Oh look I am alive….sorry I'm a tad shaken up, but yah I'm ready to go. You part of the extraction team?"
"yah the others went inside let's go." she hopped off the roof and ran inside
Dam derek followed her inside
Back inside while this was happening Edward had found Andrea in the back office past the bleeding goat he snuck inside and turned visible once in there
"EDWARD!"
immediately after she said that a shotgun blast hit a nearby wall "DIE YOU FILTHY FUCKING HUMANS!" the wounded goat was firing blindly into the room. Edward grabbed Andrea and pulled her into the corner, he quickly cut one hand free and gave her a knife, "free you other hand!" He then started to return fire, his blaster sending shots through the thin wall, "what do we do!" Andrea may have gone to signal but she want use to people actively trying to kill her. "Where's your weapon?"
"Last i saw the skull mask guy had them."
"just stick to cover"
The goat continued to fire slowly chewing the wall apart no could hear his screaming due to the constant gun fire.
When Dante heard the first shot go off he instinctively looked, he was just in time to get a boot to the face, sending him a good 3 feet back. "thanks boss" percy got up and stood next to Skull and the purple girl. All three stared down Dante his vision was blurry and his mouth tasted like cotton.
"come on then…. I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON." Dante's voice roared on as his cloak bursted into bright orange flames trailing behind him as he rushed the trio, his kusarigamas flew threw the air in a dance of death, Skull took 3 steps forward and deflected the first scythe with a reverse grip knife and he dodged the other blade and back handed Dante with his other blade. "Not bad kid, but not good enough." he then punched Dante in the stomach knocking him back. "Another few years and you might of had a chance." He flipped his knife around and went to stab him in the throat.
A white glyph appeared below Dante was thrown across the room and landed next to someone wearing a white combat skirt and wielding a Fencing blade. "ow….. um Weiss Schnee?"
she didn't say anything, Dante stood up, "thanks for the save."
"you alright?" a girl with a massive scythe and wearing a red cloak asked him.
"Yah no idea about my other boys though."
"Yang and Blake are on it, now let's finish this fight."
Purple, Percy and Skull watch the new comers, "take them" skull simply stood there while purple and Percy rushed Weiss and the girl in the red cloak
Dante took a moment to regroup, he watched as red flashed by percy in a storm or rose petals and slashed him across the torso breaking his weakened aura, nice, he looked over at Schnee, she simply glyphed purple across the room where she hit her head and went unconscious.
Derek entered and was almost hit by the human projectile, he looked at where it came from and saw Dante and three others engaged in combat, the girl with the bow ran towards the other end of the warehouse and Derek posted up by the door and took aim, he look towards bow girl and saw the blonde girl that whistled at him when he got to beacon engaged with the ninja, she wasn't doing too well she was having trouble blocking the whip with her gauntlets, then all hell broke loose.
The goat was getting close with his shots, and Edward and Andrea were running out of cover, "Andrea listen when i say go make a run for it ill distract him"
"What about you?" drywall pelted their faces
"I'll be fine!" Edward fired a few more shots at the goat, from this angle any shot towards him was a near miss or firing blindly through the wall.
"HYAH" someone screamed it was accompanied by a new sounding shotgun blast. "You to love birds okay?" The blonde girl asked with a mischievous grin.
Edward poked his head out and saw a tall blonde girl with insanely long and messy blonde hair. "yeah holy shit thanks."
Andrea ran from cover and gave the girl a flying hug, "THANK YOU SO MUCH!"she screamed "I THOUGHT I WAS DONE FOR!"
The blonde girl attempted to peel Andreas sniveling form off of herself, "Jeez and I thought Rubes had a good bear hug!" finally getting her off she turned to see edward staring at her, "what? See something you like~" she said coyly; before Edward could be a smart ass he saw the already all too familiar ninja running at his rescuer, "Look out!" he shoved her out of the way and fired one final burst from his plasma caster, the ninja power slid under it and took out Edward's legs in the process, she then pushed herself off the floor with her hands launching her legs straight into Andrea's face pushing her back.
Edward rolled over and stood up he was about to engage when he saw the blond punching the ninja in the gut which was followed by a satisfying shotgun blast,
"too cool" he accidentally said out loud, she looked over at him and winked before entering the fray. The ninja brought out her whip, its blade licked the blondes forearm but thanks to aura didn't even break skin Her reply to that was simple more punching, Edward dared not get close for fear of getting killed by either the ninjas deadly cobra like whip or the blondes thunderous punches. He heard running and looked behind him to see another girl leave Derek's side and head towards them blades drawn and a ribbon trailing her. He turned his head back to the fight to see a string of gold slowly fall to the floor, the he saw a pair of red eyes that would haunt his nightmares for weeks. The blonde stared at the strand of her prized hair fall to the floor.
Back over with Dante he finished catching his breath and reignited his cloak drawing the attention of skull Weiss and the red reaper, he wiped his chain scythes toward skull, the villain knocked the first away with his blade, the two metals smashing against each other in a satisfying clang, Dante the charged again gripping the second scythe in his left he threw a quick uppercut like slash at the masked man, skull caught his hand in a cross block and head butted the young leader, the head butt was followed up by a quick backhand followed by a pommel strike to the side of the head, Dante the yanked on his chain bringing the first scythe back to him and begun his unrelenting flurry of attacks, with his semblance activated all anyone could see where the sparks from where there blades connected, the flaming cloak, and Dante glowing eye, the skirmish lasted about five seconds of never ending strikes when something in the back of the warehouse exploded into flames sending a shockwave that knocked the currently off balance Dante over into a puddle of spilled oil from some earlier wreckage, his cloak immediately combusting the oil. A second fire had started in the back burning all the drywall and oil discarded oil barrels back there, the ninja ran to skull carrying the goat fireman style, "id recommend retreat." she said calmly
"Full retreat." Skull threw Andras weapons at Dante as a distraction as he turned and ran off the ninja following him, percy hobbled after them and the purple girl once again able to ignore her devastating wounds ran with them, fire now blocking their path for pursuit. "EVERYONE OUT" the girl in red yelled out to those on the other side of the ware house. Dante picked up Andreas gear as he ran. Everyone ran outside and regroupes out front.
"Well shit" Dante's voice was relatively monotone for the circumstance, the entire warehouse had been engulfed in flames.
"My bad." both he and the blonde said at the same time, both of them earning glares from their respective teams.
Dante turned to the girl in read assuming she was the leader, "um thanks for saving our lives, my names Dante Inferno." She shook his hand "I'm Ruby Rose leader of team RWBY, and your welcome!" She said with a massive smile on her face
"Ruby of team RWBY? Isn't that a bit…"
"Confusing? Yes."
"Well since no one's gonna introduce me I'm Derek, this is Edward, and the girl bear hugging your team mate yelling thank you over and over again is Andrea." Derek coy attitude was back from his panic attack earlier, "Oh sorry this is Weiss, Blake ,and the person being bear hugged is my big sister Yang."
"Can someone please get her off me?"
"Andrea come on mate you're fine." Dante peeled Andrea off and she slapped him
"WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU ASSHOLES!"
Team RWBY looked on uncomfortably unsure what to, Ruby looked at her feet, Blake was calling in the bullhead for evac, and Weiss just looked on judging the team with her eyes, and Yang was enjoying the drama.
"I WAS THERE FOR HOURS AND YOU LET ME GET DRAGGED OFF WITHOUT SO MUCH OF SHOT, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
"Are you done?"
"what?!"
"I said. Are. You. Done."
"y-yeah". His tone made her shrink a little it wasn't harsh but stern
"Good because i have something to say." he looked her dead in the eye, "I am sorry." he didn't look away, "As your team leader i failed you and i know an apology won't make it better but its start, i promise i won't let anything like this happen to any of you again" he looked to the rest of the team, they simply nodded and smiled, Dante outstretched his hand "Friends?"
Andrea looked at his hand she expected him to get mad at her for yelling and hitting him, to tell her something not say sorry, "um yah. Th-thank you for saving me."
Dante nodded, they shook hands, he was about to say something when Weiss stepped in.
"Yes very touching but, What the hell were you three Dolts thinking!?" she screamed at them, "you irresponsible overly confident buffoons, you were supposed to wait for backup!"
"Is she always like this?" Edward asked
"Oh yah meet our resident Ice queen." Yang said smirking
"Do not call me that, Jauns bad enough i do not need you pestering me as well."
Ruby and Yang laughed at the memory of jaunes previous attempts toward Weiss, but team DEAD was unsure of what was happening they were just happy the spotlight had shifted.
"Bull heads here." Blake called to the rest of the people, they all filed in and Dante gave Andrea back her weapons. Weiss remembered she was mad at the team they rescued and continued to yell at them all the way back to beacon.
