Chapter 6:Emerald Forest Part 1
On the other side of Emerald Forest, Yang was walking, and getting quite angry.
"Hellllooo," she yelled. "Is anyone out there? Helloooo?! I'm getting bored here!" She kept walking, when she heard noises coming from bushes behind her. "Is someone there?" She went towards the bushes, and looked behind it. "Ruby! Is that you?" But the only thing she saw was a Grimm. "Nope."
She backed away as the Grimm attacked. She turned to see which Grimm it was. It was a Ursa, a bear like creature, but with its skull showing and spikes coming out its back. She brought out her gauntlets, but had to dodge again when another Ursa tried to attack her. She now had to deal with Ursai. One charged at her, but was thrown back as Yang punched it. The other ran at Yang, but she had uppercut it and kicked it away.
"You guys wouldn't have happened to see a girl in a red hood, would you," she calmly asked the Ursai. The monsters just roared. "You could just say no!" One Ursa charged at Yang, she backed flipped to dodge the claw. Yang just laughed and said "Geez. You two couldn't hit the broad side of a-" She stopped as she saw a yellow hair fall to the ground. "You." Her lilac eyes then turned red. The Ursai looked at each other, very confused. "You monsters!"
Then there were flames starting around her. She had incredible speed, like her sister. She started to attack one of the Grimm. After multiple hits, she gave one final punch, and the Grimm went through a couple of trees. She turned to deal with the other Ursa.
"What?! You want some too," she yelled. The Ursa was about to attack, when something stab it in the back. As it felled, Yang saw Blake with a ribbon in her hand. As Blake sheathed her weapon, she gave a grin at Yang. Yang broke the silence when saying "I could've taken him."
Weiss backed away as the Beowolf attacked.
'Remember your training, Weiss,' she thought. 'Head up, shoulders back. Right foot forward.' She brought her right foot forward, but quickly backed it away. 'Not that forward! Slow your breathing. Wait for the right time to strike. And…' She brought her sword, Myrtenaster, into attack position. 'NOW!' She sprinted towards the Beowolf for the kill, but only to be interrupted by her annoying new partner, Ruby.
"Gotcha," Ruby yelled. Weiss then had to move her sword away from Ruby. During that process, fire came out of Myrtenaster, and burned a tree. Ruby saw the tree burn, and had to quickly block a Grimm attack. She backed away, and bumped into the heiress.
"Hey watch it," Ruby yelled.
"Excuse me! You attacked out of turn! I could've killed you!"
"You'll have to try harder than that," Ruby mumbled. The Beowolf were now surrounding them. The two students were now in a defensive position. Ruby reloaded Crescent Rose, but before she could attack, a flaming tree landed right next to them.
"We have to go," Weiss yelled. She practically dragged Ruby out of the burning part of the forest as the Beowolfs roared.
As they finally escaped from the fires, Ruby looked back at the smoke then looked at Weiss then yelled "What was that?! That should've been easy!"
"Well, perhaps if you had exercised even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes," Weiss started. "I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!"
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"I'm just surprised that someone who talks so much would communicate so little during an encounter!"
"Well I'm sorry that you need my help to win a fight! I'm just fine on my own!"
"Well, congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon. Bravo!" Weiss started to walk away from Ruby. As she walked, not turning back, she heard Ruby yell, and a loud thud. Ruby had turn Crescent Rose into a scythe and chopped down a tree with one swipe. As they both walked away, a large feather had fallen near the tree.
Bill was looking around the forest, trying to find someone and his objective.
"Ok, so maybe I jumped it a little too early," Bill said to himself. "And now here I am talking to myself." As he was walking, he saw smoke from a distance. He ran towards the smoke, and saw what was happening. There was a lot of fire, and a lot of Beowolfs. But, he sighed in relief as he saw no evidence that someone was killed. A Beowolf heard him, and roared, signaling the others.
"Me and my big mouth," he said. As Bill stood there, he flicked his hand, revealing a blade. He twisted the blade so the point would go backwards. Then, he brought his hand to his face, then he swung his out, making the blade longer. Then, he ran towards the Grimm.
Somewhere else in the forest, Jaune and Pyrrha were walking through the forest, trying to find the ruins, when they both heard something.
"Did you hear that," Jaune asked.
"Gunfire," Pyrrha answered. "It seems some of our comrades have encountered the enemy." They kept on walking, when Pyrrha pushed a tree branch out of the way, but the branch flew back, hitting Jaune in the face. "Jaune, I'm sorry."
"Hah, it's okay. Just a scratch." As he got up, Pryyha asked
"Why didn't you activate your aura?"
"Huh," Jaune answered.
"You're aura."
"Gazuntite."
"Jaune, do you know what aura is?"
"Psh, of course I do!" 'Of course I don't,' he thought. "Do you know what aura is?" Then, Pyrrha began to explain.
"Aura is the manifestation of your soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watched without knowing that someone was there?"
"Uh, yeah."
"With practice, our aura can be our shield. Everyone has it, even animals."
"What about monsters," Jaune asked.
"No, the monsters we fight lack a soul. They are creatures of Grimm. The manifestation of anonymity. They are the darkness, and we are the light."
"Right. That's why we fight them."
"It's not about why, it's about knowing. Understanding both dark and light helps us manifest our aura. Everyone has some of both. By bearing your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipment are conduits for aura. You project yourself and your soul with fighting."
"It's like a force field," Jaune exclaimed
"Yes, if you want to look at it that way." Then, she went up to Jaune and said "Now, close your eyes and concentrate."
"Uhh… Okay." She put her hand on his face, and they both started to glow. As they glowed, Pyrrha started to say something.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee." Pyrrha took her hand off of Jaune's face, and was breathing heavily.
"Pyrrha?"
"It's alright," she answered. "I used my aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you now is your own." She grinned as the cut on Jaunes face went away. "You have a lot of it," Pyrrha stated. Jaune looked at his glowing hand as they glowed.
"Wow."
Ren was walking through the forest, with no partner. After a few more steps, he sensed something near him. Behind him was a giant snake-like Grimm, a King Taijitu, was about to attack. It was going around him, preparing to attack. Ren took his battle stance. Then, it finally attack. Ren dodged the attack, but had to block the second one. He landed perfectly, as the King Taijitu was again going around him. He got out Stormflower, jumped out of the Grimm's wrap, and started to fire. Then, he kicked the Grimm's head, and sliced at it. But it was not out yet. Ren dodged another attack, and used Stormflowers blade, and stab them into its head. He thought he had defeated it, but sensed another creature. He turned around and saw another King Taijitu, but a white one. He dodged this one's attack, and saw that both were ready to attack him.
Then, he started shooting at the two Grimm, but was struck down by one. He shouted "No!" He put his hands in front of him, and his aura protected him. He then let loose his aura shield and grabbed the King Taijitu's two front teeth, and threw them into the Grimm's head. Then, he brought his hand, and hit the side of its head, and the head exploded. He then started to run towards the other snake. Ren kept dodging its attack, and saw his weapons. He finally got back his weapons, and sliced the Grimm's head off.
As he put his sub-machine guns away, and dusted himself off, he heard a noise.
"Bhhrrrrra! Bhhrrrra!" Ren turned to see Nora hanging upside down from a tree branch.
"I still don't think that's what a sloth sounds like," Ren said.
Nora only brought her hand out, placed her finger upon Ren's nose and said "Boop."
This was very hard to type after what happened at Rooster teeth. It's a sad thing to see a great person to pass away, especially Monty. Let me tell you guys a story on how I first saw one of Monty's works, but didn't know until today. I was young, and my brother and I saw a great animation called Haloid. After watching it, I wanted to know who made it so badly. Then, I discovered Red vs. blue, then Rooster teeth. I started to love the new animations Monty did for RVB, then he made his own show. After I saw the Podcast for Monty, I was shocked to find out that he made Haloid. Then I realized that he has been with me before he worked with Rooster teeth, and before I found them, making me smile at the Haloid's dance sequence, and seeing he used it in RWBY. And seeing that he worked hard making the action sequences, and never stopping. So, he would want all of us to be creative and work hard. So, I'll continue to work hard on this story, and series, for I have a lot of ideas. I'll show you guys my imagination, like Monty did. Monty was an amazing person, badass of Rooster teeth, god of DDR and RWBY. I'll miss you Monty. Rest in peace.
