Well, looks like reviews are broken again, so I won't be able to respond to any right away...
Time for a little action.
Taiyang ripped the head off an android, then used the machine's still active gun to mow down the mutated Beowolves that still stood. He heard a click, then pushed the disabled android forward. Then there were several more metal footsteps behind him. "Come on!" he yelled at the incoming squad. "I can do this all day!"
The red melee androids rushed Taiyang. Even with their superior numbers, they still posed little threat to the experienced Huntsman. He grabbed the staff of the leading android and tore it out of the machine's hands. Not giving the robot time to think, Taiyang plunged one end of the blade through the base of its skull. He then used the metal carcass as a 'human shield' as he fired his gauntlets at the rest of the squad. His low powered ranged weapons took a few shots to kill the androids, but they still did their job.
"Kill him!" Doctor Merlot's voice frantically urged over the facility's intercom. "Don't let him get close!"
"Thank you for letting me know I'm going the right way!" Taiyang pushed his shield into the last android. Both fell to the ground, one on top of the other, He jumped as high as the ceiling would allow, then brought a fist down on the android on top of the pile. It traveled through both metal soldiers with ease.
Taiyang stood up and mockingly brushed off his shoulders. "Hopefully you made things a little more interesting for Qrow and Winter," he called, knowing Merlot would hear.
"You…your friends are dead. You will join them soon."
"Come on, you can lie better than that." Taiyang rounded a corner and punched the head off an android that was 'hiding' there. "To think with androids that Atlas would drool over, you'd be able to better defend this place. I haven't broken a sweat."
"You haven't met my last line of defense."
"I'm getting close, then. Thanks for the heads up. It's not like you've got Paladins." Taiyang stepped into a large room and the smirk disappeared off his face. They weren't Paladins, but three very large mechs stood in front of the far wall, behind two mutant Deathstalkers. "I had to open my mouth…"
All three of the mechs fired missiles at Taiyang. He waited until the last second before jumping away. The missiles tracked surprisingly well, but they still hit the floor and detonated. One of the two Deathstalkers moved to attack Taiyang. He stared it down and kept an eye on the Grimm's stinger. The creature lunged and swiped at Taiyang, but the Huntsman jumped over the attack.
As he was in the air, Taiyang saw one of the mechs fire another missile. As soon as he hit the ground, he dove under the Deathstalker. The missile hit the Grimm, and the creature screamed. Taiyang punched out one of the Grimm's legs as he crawled out from underneath it. The creature took another swipe at the Huntsman, but this one was much slower than before.
Taiyang finally saw the damage the missile did. Most of the armor on the top of the Grimm was completely shredded. The hole gave Taiyang an opening at the creature's relatively squishy flesh, unless that was mutated as well.
Before he could capitalize on the opening though, the other Deathstalker screeched. Taiyang faced it and saw several green projectiles flying at him. He dived out of the way as the 'needles' hit the floor. Since when can Deathstalkers shoot? he thought to himself. That complicated things more than necessary.
Then again…Taiyang looked at all his opponents. The missiles for the mechs had already proven that they track targets fairly well. As shown with the Deathstalker though, they flew straight for their targets. All Taiyang needed to do was get close to the Deathstalkers and other mechs and they'd take care of each other.
Getting up close and personal was what Taiyang did best.
He ran over to the unharmed Deathstalker and bashed away one of its claws. The second claw hit though, and Taiyang flew backward. He heard the sound of a missile launch and jumped to his feet. Once again, he ran at the Grimm, this time jumping on its back. He tracked the missile, and jumped off the creature's back at the right moment. The missile curved, but still made contact with the Deathstalker's back.
Taiyang landed on the exposed skin and reached up for the now limping stinger. He grabbed it and threw the stinger into the creature's back. It buried in deep, but the Deathstalker still lived. Another missile soared through the air and Taiyang tracked it. Again, he jumped away at the right moment and the missile blew up right where the Grimm's armor was destroyed. That last hit made the creature fall dead.
That left one opponent down, one severely injured, and three at full strength. Taiyang ran toward one of the mechs. As he got closer, two of them opened up with minigun fire. The Huntsman avoided as much of it as he could, and his Aura took the rest. As expected, the third launched another missile. Taiyang slid under one of the mech's legs then jumped onto its back. He felt the explosion through the metal he clung to. The mech still stood, but it had to suffer a lot of damage.
Taiyang climbed over the mech's shoulder and looked down to inspect the damage. The entire front plating had been reduced to scrap and various wires and circuits sparked rapidly. The other two mechs held their fire. A Deathstalker's screech filled the air. The Huntsman looked at the source and saw several more 'needles' flying at him. He released his grip on the mech and fell behind it. All the 'needles' hit, and the mech fell backward. Taiyang barely got out from under it in time.
The last two mechs retracted their missile launchers and raised their miniguns instead. Apparently destroying one of their own finally triggered something that said 'don't shoot your allies.' With his missile tricking strategy finished, Taiyang dodged the Dust rounds as he tried to think of another plan. Those things could kill the Deathstalker, but they were probably smart enough not to openly shoot each other. He could punch his way through the mechs' armor, but that could take way to long and open himself up for another attack.
Seeing a chance to shrink the number of enemies to two, Taiyang ran at the Deathstalker. He slid underneath its claws and belly. The mechs never stopped firing, turning the Grimm into Mistrilian cheese.
The Huntsman shot back to his feet and faced the mechs. As he prepared to fight though, both machines lowered their weapons. "Tai," Qrow suddenly said over the facility intercom, "Winter managed to hack into the main computer here. All androids here are now on our side."
"No!" Merlot yelled over the same speakers. "This is impossible!"
"Apparently it's completely possible," Taiyang returned. "Winter, where is the bastard."
"Right through the door in front of you," Winter responded. A small door behind the two standing mechs opened.
"Thank you." Taiyang cracked his knuckles and walked into the room. Only one other man was present, with four androids aiming their weapons at him. "Doctor Merlot, I presume?"
The man nodded. "I am."
Taiyang scowled. This was the man who caused him so much pain, the man who tore his family apart. The angry Huntsman closed the distance and slammed Merlot against a wall. "Summer Rose. Yang Xiao Long. Ruby Rose. Do those names mean any to you?"
"The first, yes," Merlot choked out. "She was poking around where she shouldn't have."
"She was serving a legal search warrant!" Taiyang slammed his prisoner into the wall again. "I've seen the files at your other facility. I know a bomb detonated leaving no trace of my daughters. For your sake, they better be alive on the other side." Merlot only glared, but he couldn't keep the slight fear out of his eyes.
A green light started flashing elsewhere in the room. Taiyang looked at it, then back to Merlot. "What does that mean?"
"A successful detonation. If I'm timing this right, a group in Forever Fall as traveled to the other side."
"That group with the Goliath?" Merlot just nodded. Taiyang hoped anyone on the other side would be able to fight that swarm.
"…with the keeper. That's another Bison!"
"First down! OooooOOOHHHH move those chains!" Fred clamped a hand over his mouth on pure reflex to avoid being accused of shouting the next part with the student section. After they finished their decidedly racist chant, Fred kissed both his hands and raised both sets of 'horns' as high as they would go.
This game was intense. The Bison and the Bearkats traded off the lead since the first ten minutes in the game. Right now, the Bearcats had a three point lead with just over a minute left in the game, though some of those points came after bullcrap penalties. Did any FCS refs know what pass interference was? The Bison had the ball at the Bearcat's forty and had all their timeouts. There were already too many nail biter games already that year. Fred's heart did not need another one.
Then again, they did it two years ago with a similar amount of time. Why shouldn't history repeat itself?
The ball was snapped, and the quarterback fell into the pocket. Several receivers raced downfield. One of them was wide open. The ball was flung through the air sailing right for that receiver. The crowd slowly rose to their feet as the ball neared its target. Without turning around, the receiver caught the ball. The crowd exploded into cheers as he ran into the end zone, but quickly turned into boos as a flag was thrown.
"Flag!" Fred shouted as other members of the band raised their instruments for the supposed touchdown.
People continued booing as one of the refs made his way to midfield. "Pass interference. Offense." Anything else he said was drowned out by nearly fifteen thousand people screaming bloody murder.
"Open your eyes, ref!"
"You need some glasses?" Another trombone two seats down took theirs off. "You need them more than I do!" This jeering continued on until the offense got reset. As the play clock wound down, the play started. The quarterback threw a quick completion, but the receiver didn't make it five yards. The Bison quickly called a timeout.
"I swear, if we lose this over terrible calls..." Fred shook his head, then looked to his side. He nearly did a double take when he saw a familiar face. Ruby's mom looked up and gave Fred a small wave. Instead of her hood though, she wore a stadium security uniform. "Uh, guys," he turned back to his section, "you know that girl I picked up on the interstate?"
"Yeah, you pervert," Lexi joked. A few other bones laughed as well.
"Not funny…Well, her mom is here."
"Wait, her FBI mom?" Rich asked. "Dude, you dun messed up."
"Apparently…" Fred looked back and saw the FBI agent practically running away while talking holding a phone to her ear. Probably just some drunk guy in the stadium and security needing backup.
An almost familiar sound started up. If this was Minnesota or North Dakota, Fred would think it was tornado sirens. There wasn't a cloud in the sky though, and Frisco was too close to Dallas for it to mean the work day was over. "Hey, Texas," Fred called to the trumpet from the area. "These tornado sirens?"
"Yeah," the guy shrugged. "Don't know why they're active now though. This is new to me."
Fred rolled his eyes then looked back to the field. It probably was some glitch in the system. Happened all the time in Fargo. For whatever reason, one of the Sousas shouted, "Omaha!" which set off a chain reaction through the rest of the low brass.
It all clicked at once for Fred. "Omaha…Shit!" He yanked the mouthpiece out of his trombone and frantically looked around the stadium.
None of the other bones noticed his actions though. "Whoa! Whoa! Fred just swore! Call the news!"
"Something wrong?" Ashley asked, finally seeing Fred's stance.
"The tornado sirens went off in Omaha…during a Grimm attack."
As if on cue, three Werewolves shot out of the tunnel.
Summer ended the call with her supervisor as she ran toward the security room at full tilt. Grimm were spotted a few miles north, and they were heading right for the city. Given the amount of animosity in the stadium, she had a pretty good idea of where they were heading. The tornado sirens sounded, but few people here would know what it meant in that situation.
Her security radio chirped to life. "We got something in the tunnel. Sounds like a drunk guy lost his voice and somehow made it down here."
Summer swiped the radio off her belt. "Do not investigate unless you have some heavy firepower."
"Who is this? What do you mean about…wait a second…oh shit. Oh shit! Werewolves!" Summer turned off her radio so people around her wouldn't scream. She looked back to the tunnel exit on the field. It wouldn't be long until those Beowolves made it to the field and really caused some havoc. There was not enough time to get to the security room and back before that happened. Not for the first time, she wished she didn't have to have line of sight to teleport.
Three Beowolves ran out onto the grass. Summer ran through the now dead silent crowd to the field. Hopefully her nine mil would be able to get their attention and keep them off the players.
Summer vaulted over the front railing and fired her first three shots. All connected with one Beowolf. As expected, the Grimm faced the Huntress and roared at her. Two more well placed shots tore down the creature's throat, killing it.
The other two charged at Summer. The Huntress focused fire on the eyes of the lead Beowolf. Three bullets widened the gap in the bone mask around the eye, and two more plunged straight through. Summer quickly changed the magazine, but the third Beowolf was practically on top of her. It lunged, its mouth wide open. The Huntress thrust her gun arm forward and into the Grimm's mouth. Her Aura kept her arm attached to her body and she fired several shots directly down the creature's throat. The Beowolf slid off her arm, showing the limb wasn't even scratched.
Summer looked at the refs on the field, trying to figure out which one had the mic. After a few seconds, she signaled him out. "You. I need your mic."
The referee back tracked slightly. "Ma'am, you can't be out on the field," he stuttered.
"Since you're obviously blind after those terrible calls, three Werewolves just came onto the field, and I killed them. This is no longer a football game, this is a fully fledged Grimm attack! So unless you want to be responsible for the lives of all the people in this stadium you will give me that mic."
The ref still hesitated a second before surrendering the mic. Summer signaled the box, hoping whoever was in charge of the stadium audio was paying attention. "Is this thing on?" Her voice echoed through the stadium. "If you have guns, grab 'em. There is a large horde of Grimm coming in from the north. We need all the firepower we can get. If you don't have weapons, head south. Do not head to your vehicles if you are not grabbing a weapon." Summer took a deep breath before relaying the next bit of information. "This is a Duluth level event."
Summer dropped the mic then ran toward the tunnel. There had to be more Grimm where those three came from. At best, ground troops from the National Guard were at least an hour out. All she had to work with at the moment were police and whatever militia formed out of the city. Normally, the militia wouldn't be that big, but this was Texas, and a few thousand people from North Dakota that probably traveled with their hunting rifles. Summer probably had a decent force to work with.
Her phone rang as she entered the tunnel. She quickly answered it. "You got something for me, Trevor?"
"I just got off the phone with Frisco's police chief," Trevor quickly responded. "When he heard I had an agent in the city with Grimm combat in the city, he practically squealed. Congratulations Clara, you're now in charge of the defense of Frisco, Texas."
"Tell me something I don't know." Summer found the body of the guard that most likely called in the attack. It wasn't a pretty sight. Summer just took the man's pistol and ammo and continued through the tunnel and outside the stadium. "What kind of air support can I expect?"
"Air Force is redirecting an A-10 from Austin. ETA ten minutes. They're also sending F-16s and F-22s from various airfields, ETA on the first is thirty minutes."
"What about to take down that Elephant?"
"The closest AC-130 is an hour out. Whiteman airbase in Missouri is prepping a B-2, but that could take just as long, not including flight time."
"I hate to ask, but does the Navy have anything that can hit this far inland?"
"Working on that and satellite coverage right now."
"Anything else you can tell me that I could use?"
"The government would like to keep your abilities under wraps…but this is the first time one of you has been at the front of a Grimm attack in the US and Europe. No precedent has been set. Do what you need to."
"Good. Patch police radio through to my phone. I need to get some kind of organized defense set up."
"Will do. Good luck out there. Out." The line clicked and Summer put her phone back in a pocket.
The Huntress looked at the top of one of the busses and teleported up there. With the better vantage point, she looked around the area to see how many Grimm got in the area. Luckily, there weren't many Grimm in the area, all things considered. Summer teleported from car to car, dual-wielding pistols to kill each creature she stopped by.
Eventually she heard other gunshots accompany her own. A few police officers turned up and took shots at the approaching Grimm. Several people from the stadium also retrieved weapons from their cars. There weren't many Grimm at the moment, but this had to be the leading edge.
Summer made her way to her borrowed car and saw team RWBY waiting by it. She fished the keys out of a pocket and popped the trunk. The girls immediately opened it and grabbed their weapons. "What's a 'Duluth level event?'" Weiss asked as Summer approached.
"Bad. Duluth, Minnesota was destroyed by Grimm three years ago, the only American city to fall so far." Summer holstered her personal sidearm and retrieved Sun's Light from the trunk. "The city held out, until a Goliath showed up. It took a good portion of the Minnesota and Wisconsin National Guard to take it down."
"Something tells me they didn't have Huntresses to take it down, let alone five," Yang said as she armed her Gauntlets.
"Where do you need us?" Ruby asked as she loaded her scythe.
Summer turned to her youngest. In truth, she wanted her daughters as far away from Frisco as possible. She wanted them to leave with the rest of the evacuees. She wanted them in a nuclear bunker somewhere with the entire American military dug in above them. She wanted them back on Patch, which at the time she left, hadn't suffered a major Grimm attack in a decade.
But Ruby and Yang weren't her babies anymore. They were Huntresses, or training to be them anyway. They fought Grimm, and were apparently good at it. They defended Vale from a massive Grimm attack of its own. The determination in Ruby's eyes said she wasn't going anywhere until all Grimm were dead or the city was evacuated.
"We're going to be front line fighters until the Texas National Guard shows up." Summer looked over the young team. "We have the most experience against the Grimm, but then again, that's not saying much. We're going to push north past the soccer fields and hold a front line there until we get reinforcements." She paused. "I keep saying 'we,' but I'm going to need to hold back from the front for a bit and coordinate with the police and military. I'll still fight, but I expect each of you to have a higher kill count than me when this is over."
"Challenge accepted." Yang cracked her knuckles.
"Okay team!" Ruby yelled. "Let's do this!" The team ran north toward the sound of Grimm roars.
Summer watched them go for a second, then retrieved a headset from the glove compartment of the car. She used the Bluetooth feature to connect her phone. Almost immediately she heard chatter from the Frisco Police. None of them knew what was going on, and some were more worried about getting people out of the stadium safely.
The Huntress teleported to the top of a gatehouse to some of the soccer fields and looked north. She could see the Goliath on the other side of a department store, marching its way south. Grimm swarmed between buildings and across the empty fields that separated the sports park and commercial areas.
Some of them looked different though. Summer switched her weapon to its sniper mode and looked through the scope. Almost half the Creeps had green spikes on their backs. Some Beowolves had a similar condition. In fact, it looked like half the Grimm she could see had those green spikes, including the Goliath.
"That's new…" Summer took aim at one of the Creeps and fired. The shot connected, and the Grimm exploded shortly after, causing a small chain reaction among other Creeps. She aimed at one of the Beowolves and fired, expecting a similar reaction. Instead, the Grimm kept running as if the bullet didn't do anything. In fact, it took five bullets to the head to bring it down.
Summer looked at the oncoming horde. She needed to get the defense organized, fast. "Frisco police," she spoke into her headset, "this is FBI Special Agent Clara Flowers. I have been placed in charge of the city's defense until the National Guard shows up. Right now, the Grimm are focused on Toyota Stadium, and are moving in from the north. I need a defensive line set up on All Stars Ave, with a fallback line on Technology Dr. Be advised, the Dinos with the green spikes explode on death, and the Werewolved with a similar condition take more shots to bring them down."
There was a little more chatter, which was cut short by the chief of police himself. He made it clear what Summer said about the chain of command was true. Shortly after, police sirens blared behind her and a SWAT van and three police cruisers passed her perch on the left.
A high powered gunshot came from behind Summer. She turned around and saw Ruby fly up and land on the roof. "Hi mom," she said.
"Where's your team?"
"We cleared out the Grimm right outside the stadium. I ran ahead to see what we're dealing with." She looked out to the field. "That's a lot of Grimm."
"You're not scared, are you?"
Ruby dipped her head. "Maybe a little."
"Good. That's nothing to be ashamed of." Ruby looked at her mom, more than a little surprise on her face. "I've learned here that fear keeps you alive. That may seem counterproductive against Grimm, but it keeps them focused on you and away from civilians. Just don't let it control you."
"Got it." Ruby looked through the scope on her scythe. "These things are here too?"
"You've seen the green ones before?"
"Mountain Glen, right before we came here. Don't know where they came from. The Creeps die quickly though."
"With I could say the same for the Beowolves. One of them took five shots to the face before dropping. I can only guess on the others."
Ruby looked to the distance. "And that Goliath?"
Summer hesitated. "Air support can hopefully take care of it." Truth be told, the only way the air force would be able to take that thing down in time was if they used their planes as missiles. Still, Summer would make sure that Goliath would not make it to the first line of defense.
"Should we help the police set up their defenses?" Ruby dug her scythe into the roof of the building.
"You better catch up. I'm already on five kills since we last talked." Summer took aim at one of the green Dinos and fired. "Six."
"Only six? I've got ten." Ruby fired one shot, then smirked. "Thirteen."
"Oh, it's on!" Summer and Ruby fired downrange from their perch, killing the Grimm closest to the police line, then slowly moving back. When the rest of team RWBY arrived, Ruby joined them and they all passed the defensive line. Summer had to tell those on the line to let them through. When the three Huntresses engaged the Grimm, some of the police lowered their weapons and watched the brawl.
Even though Summer focused on killing Grimm and coordinating the defense, she couldn't stop herself from watching her daughters fight. Sure, they weren't professional, but they still tore through Grimm better than anyone on Earth could. Yang took several hits from Grimm, and Summer had to stop herself from immediately removing the offending creature's head. Her Semblance allowed her to get stronger with each hit. Still, Summer nearly had a panic attack when Yang got slammed across the field by an Ursa Major.
Then there was Ruby, diving into the horde without backing down. She developed a rhythm, bouncing between heavier targets and killing the smaller ones. If anything came within ten feet of her, it died. When Weiss was surrounded, Ruby was there in a flash to help defend her partner's flank. She was so efficient at killing Grimm, Summer wondered if she had in fact tapped into her other abilities.
A plane flew low and fast over the field. "Vulture 1-8 to Frisco command. Looks like a shit show down there. Any place in particular you want me to hit?"
Summer looked at the A-10 as it circled around. "Good to have you here, Vulture 1-8. If you could cut the tide of Grimm coming from the commercial area, that would help us out a fair bit. Unless the Air Force has developed a new type of missile that I don't know about, there's nothing you have that could put a dent on that Elephant. Don't waste the ammo until we get more reinforcements."
"I copy, Frisco. Smoke or laser targeting will make my runs more effective."
"I've served overseas. I know exactly what you need. Out" Summer switched her channel back to Frisco police. "Our air support is requesting smoke. We have anything that's long lasting?"
"Nothing that can last over a minute or two, ma'am," came an almost immediate response. "We don't have the stuff that the military uses for this type of thing."
"Copy that. I'll think of something." That something was currently out in the heart of the Grimm horde. Summer teleported to Weiss' side and impaled a green spiked Beowolf that was in the heiress' blind spot. The Grimm growled at Summer, that is until she activated her weapon's saw function. The Beowolf collapsed with a huge hole in its chest.
"When'd you get here?" Weiss asked.
"Just now." Summer faced the girl. "Can you create a smoke screen?"
"What do you mean?"
"The plane that just flew ahead needs a visual confirmation of where to shoot. A smokescreen's the best thing we have, or else we need a high powered laser to guide in missiles."
Weiss nodded. "I can do it, but I need time, Yang's help, and to be exactly where it's needed."
"Good, and right now, that's about halfway between here and…" Summer looked toward where the Goliath was. At first she didn't see it, then the back wall of the department store exploded outward. The giant Grimm walked through unscathed. "Well, halfway between here and that thing. Yang's this way." Summer and Weiss fought side by side again and tore through the Grimm on their way to Yang. Nothing that stood in their path lived for more than a few seconds.
Then they burst out the other side of the Grimm. The good thing was, there shouldn't have been another side of the Grimm. There were a few stragglers, but that was it, beside the still large horde behind them. For whatever reason, most Grimm attacks on Earth came in one wave, and then just stopped. This appeared to be one of those attacks.
Summer looked up and teleported. Her heightened position allowed her to see the battlefield in its entirety. Most of the Grimm were concentrated in one area, and were being decimated by the police and militia line, and the five Huntresses. It wouldn't be long until the only Grimm left in the attack was the Goliath.
"Maybe we don't need an airstrike..." Summer mumbled. "This looks like a nice pincer." She fell back to the ground, and sliced the stinger off a Deathstalker that was threatening Yang. The stinger fell onto the scorpion's back and dug itself in. "Yang, hit it!"
"On it." Yang fired her gauntlets behind her and launched up in the air. She came down on top of the detached stinger and punched it through the Grimm.
Summer smirked. "Both you and Ruby took my recoil idea."
"Well, it works." Yang shrugged. "Hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." Summer turned to face the horde of Grimm. "Now about these pests…"
"Spread out, or go down the middle?" Weiss asked.
"Spread out, but try not to lose sight of each other. Hopefully the defensive line is smart enough to not shoot us." Summer ran forward and stabbed an Ursa Major through the back. She practically danced her way through the horde, and the only things that caused her to backstop were the Creeps that exploded in death. Even a green Deathstalker that stepped in her path was brought down with Sun's Light's saw mode.
The A-10 flew over the field again. "Frisco, 1-8. I'm not seeing any smoke, but I'm not seeing many Grimm either. Do my orders still stand?"
"Negative," Summer returned as she watched the fighter again. "Stay on station to assist in killing the Elephant. I have a plan to take this thing down without air support, but it's a long shot, and the only way to save a good chunk of the city."
"Copy that, Frisco. Fingers crossed I'm just wasting gas up here. Out."
"Does your plan involve us?" Ruby asked. Summer turned to see her youngest glaring at the Goliath. The rest of her team stood nearby.
Blake shook her head. "I don't think anything we have can touch that thing."
"Blake's right." Summer took a deep breath. "I'm the only one this plan involves."
All eyes turned to the experienced Huntress. "Uh, mom?"
"Don't worry, Ruby." Summer winked at her daughter. "You might want to pay attention. You'll be able to do this someday too." She walked forward and faced the Goliath. She felt her daughters' and their teammates' eyes on her back. Of course they'd be confused. Goliaths were some of the strongest Grimm out there, and it normally took a team of experienced Huntsmen to take them down.
Then again, there were only a handful of Huntsmen like Summer on Remnant, and they didn't broadcast it to the general public.
Summer let her Aura flow through her eyes. The ground around her brightened slightly. Several weak spots on the massive Grimm shone for only Summer to see. The Goliath stopped in its tracks and flipped its trunk between its legs. "Good, you know what I am," Summer said happily. The Goliath took a few steps backward. "I'd tell you to tell your friends that Earth is off limits, but you won't get the chance."
The Huntress let her unique Aura flow into her sword before looking at the Goliath's head. She teleported up and drove her sword into the creature's neck. Without the Aura enhancement, the blade wouldn't have even scratched the surface. Now it was buried to the hilt. Summer withdrew her sword at an angle, and sliced a huge hole in the Goliaths neck.
She looked back toward one of the sickly green spikes. Summer teleported over to it and sliced it off at the base. She grabbed it with one hand, and it felt as light as a pebble. Looking at the back of the creature's head, Summer threw the spike at the base of the Goliath's skull. It buried itself most of the way in, but didn't travel all the way through like Summer hoped.
Instead, Summer ran along the creature's back, dragging Sun's Light behind her. The Goliath trembled as its back was sliced open. The Huntress jumped over the creature's head and drove her sword into the Grimm's bone mask, right beside the right eye. Summer found purchase for her feet then waved in front of the creature's eye. "Hello there!" She withdrew her sword, then impaled the Goliath's eye.
Without missing a beat, she switched her weapon to its sniper form. The blade spun around, causing even more damage. Summer finished the job by pulling the trigger, sending one of her experimental Grimm killing bullets. She emptied an entire magazine into the creatures head. The Goliath roared, then started falling to its side. Summer removed her sword then teleported to the ground in front of the Grimm.
The Goliath hit the dirt and Summer stopped the extra Aura flow. She swayed on her feet as she finally felt the energy drain. She hadn't needed to use that since she arrived on Earth, and practicing on smaller Grimm was almost counterproductive. Even Deathstalkers weren't worth it. Still, it was her energy and secret or possibly have even more people lose everything before the Air Force arrived.
"Frisco to Vulture 1-8, Elephant is down. The ground is looking clear. If there's any of them left, they're stragglers for police and ground pounders to take care of."
"I copy, Frisco. Don't know how you did it, but I have a feeling you won't have to pay for drinks tonight."
"In more ways than one, 1-8. Safe skies. Frisco out." Summer turned around and walked toward team RWBY. All four girls looked at Summer with their jaws dropped. Again, the reaction was expected. "What happened? Ironman fly by?"
"M-mom?" Ruby stammered. "H-How did you do that?"
Summer smirked. "Without giving too much away, it has something to do with your eyes."
Yep. My take on the silver eye warriors, or whatever they'll be officially called. It will probably all be debunked two episodes into Volume 4 though.
