Bad First Impressions. II

Joining the Fang you are taught many things. How to fight, how to work together and survive. You learn about yourself, the World and the Truth of it. Joining a team you bond with them and form a family. You bleed, cry, and die for them.

With Blake at Ruby's side both Weiss and Yang focused on their opponent. Collecting herself Weiss took her stance, the tip of her sword point at Alice she began.

Spinning Mytenaster chamber she summoned fragments of ice. Flicking her wrist the ice point to Alice. "Nope."

Alice ran, heading for a pile of rubble. Another flick the Ice launched after her. In seconds the ice caught up to her, striking the ground moments her foot left it. Diving she reached the rubble for the last of the ice to imbed in it.

Dust covered the area, obscuring Weiss's vision yet her eyes stay focus watching for any movement. Summoning another set of ice she moved closer cautiously.

Over the rubbly Weiss pointed her sword to strike only to fine the corpse of a Grimm instead. Confused she turned sensing movement behind her to see a cloak falling to the ground.

Beneath the Grimm Alice leap at Weiss to strike, on reflex Weiss moved the Ice to form a wall blocking the strike. Moving around the ice Weiss thruster her sword for it to hit air.

Vanishing again Alice was gone, quickly Weiss took note of the area. All around her were corpses and rubble made blind spots for her opportune to hide. "Well this should be interesting." She said to herself summoning more ice.

In the middle of the squad soldiers moved surrounding Ren and Yang, who had the expressions of pure joy. "Well boys since I'm at the ~center of attention, let's have a little fun."

At once two soldiers charged at her side, one with a spear the other with spiked boots. The spear user leaped aiming high, the other slide attacking her legs.

Her arms to her side Ren noticed them tense. A loud boom was heard and the blonde was in the air.

Both men looked up to see the blonde in the air looking down at them, with a wink another boom was heard she speed to the ground crushing the two in a single punch.

Frozen the other watch as the blonde removed her fist rotating she stretched it.

"You Cocky Bitch!" Running head on another soldier charged her swing his morning star over his head.

"Guess I got to do something about that mouth of your." Lowering her stance yang pointed her elbow to the soldier the other behind her. Another boom she launched at the unprepared man, his eyes widen as her elbow grew bigger fast.

Shocked Yang saw the man slip below her, replaced by a green robe wrapped around her arm, in an instance she was upside down heading for the wall.

All looked as the blonde fell to the ground with a thud then back to Ren picking the soldier up, keeping his eyes on the girl as the other cheered. "Thanks' I" the soldier stopped seeing the blonde pick herself up, dusting herself off without any sigh of injury.

"Move, all of you go help Jaune. Regroup and we will launch a counter attack." Ren ordered the squad taking his stance with his swords ready. "But" a loud cracking noise distracted the soldier as the Blonde cracking her neck. Slammed her fist together a fire busted from her hair. "Good Luck." The group moved to Jaune.

"Ha, first time I saw a bunch of guys run away from a girl on girl fight." The Blonde said walking closer.

"You do know I'm a guy right?" Ren deadpanned.

"What?" Yang cocked her head.

Pyrrha spotting the group rushing franticly to Jaune, raising a hand all the other Fang readied. Lowering it the Fang charged cutting off the advance. She then resumed watching Jaune face off against the new challenger.

"What is wrong with me? Again, again he saw me coming. What gave me way?" Blake thought to herself pulling her swords from the ground. Putting them together she formed a thicker broad sword pointed at Jaune.

"I'm okay." (hUKH) Coughing Ruby dusted the dirk off her. Thou Blake gave little thought to her friend as she focused on the blonde knight in front of them.

"Once is fine, with skill or dumb luck I understand a human could find me in the quite forest but here! On the battle field! It's a mistake!" Chastising herself Blake glared at the knight who shifted back sensing her hostility.

Looking closer everything about the knight didn't make sense to her. His armor and body was battered and beaten, gasping for air he barely held his sword and shield. Crimson dripped from his wounds all over. His eyes held fear and doubt. Yet in his condition he kept up with Ruby and dodge her surprise attack.

"Blake focuses!" Snapping back from her thought she looked to her friend.

Placing her hand on Blake's shoulder Ruby gave a concerned look her friend. "Yes, I'm fine. Let's finish this guy off and move to the others." Blake reassured her team mate.

Hearing the two, Jaune picked his head up, looking back he saw his comrades fighting the Fang. With easy the Fang began to pushing the soldiers back into a corner. Behind them the battle raged between his friends and the Erinyes. Each past their limit yet not giving up.

"Not again (pulse) I will not be dead weight to anyone again (Pulse) they will not die for me." (PULSE)

Both girls dashed at the knight Ruby lead with Blake sliding behind her. Charging ahead Ruby began to spin her scythe increasing the momentum of the blade, drawing attention from her partner. Both played the outcome in their mind.

Ruby would attack first, forcing him to block or dodge. Either way he would be pushed back from the force. Off balanced Blake would attack from his blind spot finishing him off.

With one final spin Ruby aimed for Jaunes body, as expected he raised his shield to block again "Gotcha yea" both thought.

But, instead of being pushed back from the force he remained planted. Not missing a beat Blake adjusted moving from Ruby she attacked.

Her blade slide against his stopping at her hand guard. Blades locked both pushed against each other. Looking close Blake noticed he had a reverse grip with his sword using it as a second shield.

With a grunt Jaune pushed both girls away. Keeping his sword in the reveres grip, he also flipped his damaged shield now covering his arm the broken end became a make-shift dagger.

Both girls looked at each other, nodding charged the Knight again. Answering Jaune kempt low both arms tucked close to block or attack ran for the girl in black.

Not backing down the girl aimed for the opening in his defense, leaping into the air ready to slash his back.

As the girl jumped Jaune turned away now heading to the hooded girl. Sticking his blade out to slash.

Raising her scythe Jaune thought she would try to counter with her blade instead she stuck the tip into the ground lifting her above him.

Aiming for the handle Jaune leaped after the girl grabbing the pole of the scythe. Hearing an angry grunt he looked to see a boot hitting his face sending him to the ground.

Recovering he looked up to see the girl bring the pole of the Scythe to smash his stomach which he blocked with his shield.

Kicking the girl off, he got to his feet quickly to see the girl in black rush him. Crossing swords Jaune moved back to keep his footing from the girls advancing swings.

Taking a wide swing Jaune tried to push her back. Jumping back she dodged the attack now aimed for his back again. Following the spin of his body raised his shield arm to backhand the girl, feeling no resistance he knew he missed.

Both arms extended He was now open for the girl to strike, yet instead of her sword she lifted her leg to kick the knight way.

Tensing up Jaune received the kick to his stomach sending him back.

Recovering in the air he thought why? Both girls had a chance to use their weapon but used blunt attacks instead.

Looking up he saw the hooded girl waiting for him, "Alright let's test this." He thought.

Landing short he rolled into a run heading for the girl now swinging her Scythe around.

Sword in hand he attacked first, each swing was blocked by the girl using the blade or grip to deflect the attack. Till he lunged with his broken shield to stab her. Dodging her scythe was now pointed directly at him.

Again instead of striking down with the blade she twisted the grip hitting him with the blunt end to the ribs an audible crack was heard followed with pain.

On the ground Jaune confirmed his theory. Rolling away he gripped his side were the pain stung most feeling for a broken bone yet none were broken.

Checking his surrounding he looked for Ren and Alice, both were fighting Erinyes as well.

Pausing he looked to see his friends fight, both were holding their own, till Ren staggered leaving himself open. Fear rushing over him, he saw the Blonde girl continue her attack yet she swung over his head missing him.

"What?" He wondered watching the fight. "Are they not attacking to kill?"

The thought was dashed looking at his other comrades who were struggling against the Fang. Attacking the Fang killed some off the fighters while pushing the wounded and remaining fighters into a corner.

A few feet away a soldier was on their knees looking up to a fang whose sword was pressed to their neck. Hands together they pleated with the Fang. Slicing a piece of armor off the Fang checking the bare skin of the soldier revealing them to be a girl. Staring a bit they lowered their sword and turn away from her.

In one motion the Fang turned again slicing the girl's head off.

Blood spattered, as the head rolled on the ground stopping short of Jaune. He saw the face of his comrade fear and pain frozen on her face.

A raged erupted inside Jaune, rushing he charged the Fang surprising them. The Fang swung but was blocked by Jaune shield. He stabbed the Fang in the heart twisting the blade before the Fang slide off his blade.

(Pulse)

Turning the Girl in black brought her sword down. Jaune brought his up blocking the attack locking blades. Both burned with rage pushing against each other.

Invading her stance, Jaune took control pushing her back. Feeling the pressure the girl countered with a bashed her head against his. Grunting she looked through her mask at his blue eyes. When their eyes locked both stopped.

Both relaxed yet blades were still pointed at each other as a realization of how similar they looked.

A deafening cry broke the gaze each grabbing their heads from the noise.

Spikes of ice covered the ground and ceiling, as much as Weiss hated to admit it the girl was well trained to stay in her blind spot for so long. After she lost sight of her she continued to dodge from shadow to shadow striking fast and quite. Making it frustrating to not just stab her and end it.

But she had respect for the girl as they fought she was clearly moving with will power alone while adjusting for to the flashes of light erupting from the battle next to them.

Yang was having a blast. Both fought at close range exchanging blows, swinging each other into combos, but it was clear who was leading their little dance. The guy was getting sloppy as they went on, making her pull some of her punches to keep the fight going. She was itching for a good fight this past month, and pink eyes was perfect exercise. Too bad Nora called dibs she would like to see the guy at his top.

But he still surprised her a few time deflecting her attacks with his blades slicing into her gantlets. She had to take care to only take blunt hits and avoid her hair getting cut.

Both were getting ready to end the fight when a loud cry flooded the cave. Knowing the cry the Erinyes looked for the source stopping on Jaune and Blake.

The sound was deafening to Jaune, yet the girl grabbed the top of her head covering her bow wincing in pain. The stone on his chest grew hot, burning his chest in a familiar pain. Behind he looked to see a figure aiming a weapon at them.

Grabbing the girl he leap to the side holding her close as they rolled, stopping with him on top.

The figure landed pulling his weapon from the ground to revealing a halberd. Its armor was torn struggling to fit its longer body now covered by a cracking black tar staining his skin. Blood dripping from the eyes replacing the original white and brown.

Blinking in confusion Jaune soon recognized the figure to be Sky lifting his weapon over Jaune and the Blake.

Before the any could act red rose petals busted from Sky's back howling as he knelt in pain. Standing over Sky, Jaune thought he saw a red hood, but it was gone replaced by more rose pellets.

Swinging his halberd thru the pellets sky howled in frustration as move cuts opened on his body followed.

Shocked Jaune looked as Sky's open wounds burst with black tar filling and covering his body.

Shoving the Knight off Blake charged Sky. Seeing the girl Sky aimed his weapon at her head striking quick the blade struck slicing into the girl.

Jaune looked thinking the girl dead, only for her body to fade as another girl spawned from its shadow. Sliding under the halberd the girl slashed along Sky's body before landing next to the hooded girl.

Standing Sky's body twitched from the attacked. From the ground Jaune was frozen in shock from the transformation of his comrade and the deadly skill of the girls.

Till a pair of hands grabbed him, picking him up and forcing him to run. Turning he saw Alice and Ren pulling him back to the squad both thinking the same thing.

Sky now resembled a Grimm. His face was covered in a White and red masked. White plates of armor replaced his old pieces. His hands grew claws yet still held his Halberd.

Facing against the beast the Bronze Warrior stood behind her the other Erinyes stood ready to act in any moment.

Standing against the beast The Warrior made the first move. Attacking head on the Grimm swung its weapon, again the blade moved around the warrior striking the ground. Jump up the warrior stabbed their spear into the Grimm's throat but was blocked by it arm.

The Grimm was about to charge but Ice struck its legs tripping it. Facing Weiss it crawled toward her. On cue Yang landed in front of it, Ruby and Blake landed to the side aiming for the beast arms. Sweeping both arms the Grimm struck both girls. Blake used her shadow to avoid the hit and slice its arm. Ruby blocked with her Scythe but was launched back before hitting the wall she fired her Scythe hitting the other arm. Forcing the Beast to the ground to meet a now pissed Yang. Screaming she crushed the Grimm's mask with a punch after punch burning it with her rage.

After the beast stopped twitching Yang rushed to Ruby who had Weiss holding her looking over the wound to her head. She calmed down to see Ruby was fine and awake just a cut to the head. Still she hugged her sister tight.

Inspecting the Grimm Pyrrha looked over the beast stabbing it in the chest one last time.

With the Grimm not moving she removed her weapon and turned to check on Ruby.

Blake also checking the Beast was about to join her team till it opened a crushed eye and swung its claw at Pyrrha's back.

Before she could speech Two members of the Fang jump in front of the attack taking the fatal blow.

In horror Pyrrha turned to see the members holding the claw back. Spear in hand she hurled it at the Grimm striking its head and exiting with its heart pinned to the rocky wall.

Jaune watch with his comrades in shock, The Bronze Warrior and the Girl in Black stood over the two wounded members. They knelt down placing their hand over the face of the wounded. Rising they then plunged their weapons into them killing the two.

After a moment all the Fang looked at the Squad. Beaten and terrified all hope was dashed from them. Looking around Jaune and his friends to look for a way out.

"Wait." Whispered Jaune "Do you guys know were the tunnel we came from is?"

Looking up Both Ren and Alice scanned the room. "It's behind us. If we move quickly we can get through and destroy the support beams it will seal the exit with the ice blocking the other exit the Fang will be trapped in here." Alice pointed.

"No, I don't think that would work." A female voice spoke beside them.

"Well why the hell not?" Alice asked turning to the voice.

Sitting beside them was the hammer girl from before, but without her helmet. Letting her orange hair hang in her face. She rocked back and forth smiling at the three. "Hellooo"

Jumping away from the three split up, but the girl followed Ren pushing him away from the group.

"Ren!" Both shouted at their friend still trying to get away from the girl.

"Move, I'll hold her off." He shouted back.

"O you'll be holding me alright." The girl said with a smile and blush.

Ren looked at the girl confused also blushing.

After that outburst all eyes were on Jaune and Alice.

Standing up Jaune and Alice addressed the others. "Alright listen there's an exit behind us in the caves, we will move quickly out of them and the last person will destroy the support beams sealing it behind them."

(Hearing this returned some hope to the Squad till they heard the rest)

"Now comes the bad news, some of us will have to stay back and fight off the Fang from getting to the tunnel and stopping us. I know this is not an easy thing to ask but if some of us are going to survie then others are going to have to fight!"

"Welp you heard the man." Turning to the back Cardin was standing relatively unharmed near the tunnel. "Jaune, Alice and I will take the burden of being the survivors to this horrible tragedy and will give our report on how you all valiantly fought for our escape."

Jaune looked down for a moment going over the words Cardin spoke. Walking to the back Alice looked at her friend shocked. "Jaune, you can't be serious?"

Not turning he replied, "Alice. I earned this." Continue to walk to Cardin.

Ren did not know what to think about the girl swinging her hammer at him with such ferocity. All for not knowing something about a sloth.

(5 minutes earlier)

Ren was in a dead sprint trying to get some distance from the orange haired girl. He would take an inch at this point. All the while she continue to keep up giving him a warm smile.

She looked backed to the group stratified by the distance she compressed her hammer placing it on her back and began to make a strange noise while winking at him.

With his stamina drained he slowed, expecting the girl to run into him he turned bracing for the impacted yet she was not there.

Confused he looked for the girl till she popped behind him. "Finally I know it's not an exact sloth but it's hard to do while running. Anyway I'm so happy to see you again Ren!"

Blood rushed to his face as he felt her chest press against his from the sudden hug.

Pushing the girl away he looked to see her warm smile and blush.

Pausing from the sight he finally spoke. "I'm sorry but who are you?"

Her smile faded as did her color looking into his pink eyes. "But the signal, you stopped for the sloth signal right… You don't remember?"

"I'm not sure what you're talking about." He gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I-I looked and was so worried about you, and you forgot. AND YOU FORGOT!" Her color returned with a rage burning she took her hammer out as he took off.

(Back To Jaune)

"Of course you did buddy." Agreeing Cardin continued. "After all the close calls and Grimm you defeated you are deserving of a valet return and I'll even talk you up to my old man to get you out of your situation with your home city."

Stopping Jaune placed his hand on Cardin shoulder. "Cardin I need you to do something for me."

"Anything, just name it. Money, Statues, Women, just get me the hell out of her…"

(Crack)

Jaune's fist crossed Cardin face silencing him.

(Alice smiled seeing here friend still the same)

Grabbing his Collar Jaune looked Cardin in the eye. "Cardin, I need you to earn your family name." Dragging him back to the front, he tossed the shocked leader to the ground before turning to the others.

"As acting leader I will not order you to stay, nor will I judge you for wanting to run. But, I must ask for any that wish to stand by me again, and face the enemy."

One by one the soldiers stood up.

Some made their way to the tunnel.

Others walked to Jaune and stood by his side.

Looking up he saw Ren heading for the group. Landing on top of Cardin, both groaning.

"So I see things are going great with the hammer chick." Alice smiled helping Ren off Cardin twitching body.

Looking around Alice let out a sigh. "At least some of us will make it but I'm really shocked so many stayed. Well you guys ready for round two."

"Not this time Alice." She looked to Jaune still facing the Fang getting closer.

"W-what?" Alice shuddered as Ren spoke. "He's right, you need to lead the others out and tell what we saw today."

She was about to protest but both looked at her, a pleating looked that stopped her.

"Fine. But on one condition." Hugging the two she kissed both their cheeks. "Make it back, okay." Before turning back to the others waiting at the tunnel.

"Promise." Both said not looking back at their friend.

"Jerks." She whispered wiping a tear away.

Ren gulped looking at the hammer girl that was now even more enraged then before. But a soft laugh had him turn to his friend.

Chuckling Jaune had to wipe his own tear away before talking to his confused friend. "Sorry. Guess I owe you, she does have a sweet side."

"Damn right you do, better keep that ass of yours safe till we get back." Ren laughed back.

"We made a promise so keep your eyes on your own ass. Looks like that hammer chick wants a piece of it." Jaune shot back.

"Funny well good luck with the Erinyes, looks like they all want of piece of yea and not just your ass." Ren smiled as a surprised Jaune did see all the Erinyes looking at him. Even the Masked girl carrying the Red hooded girl away had eyes on him.

After a moment everyone was ready as both sides stared each other down.

All was quite the sound of water dripping filled the silence.

(Drip)

Both sides charged the other, a melee of bodies and metal.

Most of the Solider fought while Alice lead the wounded to the tunnel.

Ren faced the hammer girl again who seemed to came down a little yet was still hitting just as hard. It took all of Rens skill and agility to avoid her attacks.

Jaune face the Fang as each of the Erinyes was facing the soldiers knocking the lucky away as others fell at their feet.

Cutting past a twin blade Fang he spotted the Bronze Warrior slashing into another comrade missing his attack on them.

Rushing ahead he charged the Warrior, seeing Jaune they did the same. Both swords clashed against each other. Jaube was a little taller than the Warrior yet they held him at bay.

His stone pulsed. Ducking he avoid a Fang attack from behind kicking them back me movie away pointing his sword at the Fang on the ground while keeping his eyes on the Warrior.

Around him the Fang gathered about to rush him yet stopped. The Warrior raised a fist circling one over their head the Fang move away focusing on the remaining soldiers.

Jaune looked to the Warrior squaring up again. Doing the same the Warrior turned their sword into a spear.

Ren was having a hard time reading the girl. Her actions were spontaneous let a dull anger made her sloppy.

Each swing was followed with the same sentence. "Why, Don't, You, Remember?"

Ren dodged a sluggish swing and was about to countered but stopped seeing tears form in her eyes her hammer resting on the ground. Both stopped.

Wiping the tears away she mumbled the question softly. Ren felt a pain in his chest not knowing why.

"How am I supposed to remember you if I don't even know your name?" He asked. Looking up the girl snacked her own head for not saying it sooner.

"It's me Renny, its Nora." She said smiling.

The name echoed in his head again and again till. "Nora Valkyrie?"

Hearing the words the girls jump to him hugging him tightly laughing with tears of joy.

"Boop" kissing his nose the girl caught him off guard, both blushing. "Nora, I."

"Shhhh We'll talk when you wake up." Covering his lips she gave a smile to the confused boy.

Ren felt something press against his chest looking down he saw the handle of her hammer touching. Next a current of electricity rushed his body collapsing into her arms.

Squealing she carried the boy like a bride skipping away smiling.

Jaune was also in trouble. Even with the stone's help no matter what he tried his sword refused to hit the Warrior. Covered in wounds he stood not backing down.

All around him the Erinyes watch with the other Fang members carrying off the surviving soldiers the Tunnel was sealed by rubble so the planned worked.

Yet Jaune did not have the luxury of looking away. The Warrior who seemed to play with him blocking and parrying each attack, but now the Warrior punished him for attacking with his sword as it moved away from their body.

Jaune barley dodged their assault the spear still scrapping his armor and skin. With a thrust the spear missed below his arm. It then moved straight up to his arm. Releasing his sword it shattered from impacted.

Jumping back he kicked the Warrior hitting their shield knocking it into their head before it flew away. Watching the shield fly Jaune felt confident with the hit till he looked back to the warrior.

Following the shield he saw the Hammer girl carrying Ren off.

His Pulsing stone brought him back to the Warrior aiming their Spear, pulling back they released.

The Spear struck his shoulder pinning him to the wall. His body screamed from the pain.

Forcing his eyes open he blinked past the tears to see the Warrior looking up to him arms crossed.

Removing the spear He screamed as the metal ripped from his body, he fell to the ground let he did not hold the wound.

The Warrior knelt down to Jaune, their voice was muffled by their helmet yet it had a gruff female tone. "You got skill, that's the first time someone actually hit me, but you might want to keep your eyes on what in front of you in a fight."

Winking from the pain Jaune looked at the Warrior. "Good advice, yea I fucked up not paying attention but so did you."

"When…"

Looking down the warrior saw their side was cut, blood dripped from a pointed stone in Jaune hand.

Grabbing their side the knelt closer to Jaune. "Guess I drew first blood too." He whispered into their ear with a smile.

Seeing the deep wound the other Erinyes rushed. Yet they stopped as the Warrior raised a hand to stop them.

Jaune dropped the stone covering his own wound. The Warrior look at the stone it was broke in two, finding the other piece on the ground they placed it together and was silent.

Looking at the Knights eyes a blue light glowed from it.

The warrior did something he would not believe, they laughed.

The Erinyes and Fang also looked shocked seeing their leader hold their side from pain and laughter.

Finally calming down they looked to the Erinyes. "Dibs. Alright let's get out of here."

Jaws dropped as the Warrior walked past them into the dark. For a moment the other looked back between the knight and leader before following their leader.

Jaune was about to try and move but a boot landed in front of him. Looking up Jaune saw the mature body of a blonde hair girl looking down at him.

"Hope you don't get a chip on your shoulder~ cause the boss likes you." She smirked standing him squeezing his wound as he got up.

Hissing from the pain Jaune shot back. "Guess the hair and tits are compensating for something."

She smiled at the comment. "Careful you might make a grave~ mistake."

"Well your shitty puns are starting to kill me so who knows." He spoke with gritted teeth.

The girl was let out a soft laugh before looking back at the knight. "Damn you are a fighter, should have called first. O well I might win you over yet."

Jaune gave a confused look before he felt a jolt to his neck. Falling into the girls' cleavage he shut his eyes falling asleep in her arms.
