RWBY: Remnant Evil
Chapter 10: Escaping Disaster
Ruby and friends were still stuck on top of a building as they waited for rescue to come. All of them relaxing and started to doze off as the rescue party were exhausted from there little adventure in Schnee Company Tower. All of them started to drift off when something had hit the building they were on, shaking it to the core, and startling everyone; the sound of concrete cracking immediately alerted them of the true danger, the building was close to collapse, and that would meant death...
"We need to get out of here!" Ciel was the first to panic, for she knew that the current was too strong to even try to swim for a short distance.
"How?" Professor Peach asked, not less startled, but showing it less than the young girl.
"There, the next building is relatively close; we can use cables to make an impromptu bridge." Sol pointed to the next building.
"I can use my telekinesis to bring the electricity cables to us, but I can't reach as far as the next building to secure them." Glynda quickly stated, solving part of the problem, but pointing to the next.
"I can... I know I can, I just need a breather... and spare clothes..." Ruby tried to come to the rescue, but it was obvious that she was still weakened.
"No. I'll do it; just bring the cables, and I'll get them to the next building." Jin immediately interrupted Ruby, who simply smiled and nodded.
"And how are you planning on moving that far?" Leo asked, thinking on using his superior strength to send someone half the way.
"Well, he can fly." Yang said with what little humor she had left, making the others choke on spit at the sudden revelation.
It took only a couple of seconds for Glynda to tear apart the electricity cables that were at the side of the building, and a second more to tie them together in a long and resistant rope; Jin took one of the ends, and then turned around to make his uncanny leap.
"Here, we'll give you a boost." Yatsuhashi said as he and Leo stood together; then they joined their hands to make a human catapult.
"yeah, sure; why not?" Jin said with a cool smile, and then jumped into the hands of the large boys.
Yatsuhashi and Leo instantly recognized that something was different; Jin had felt weightless to them, no more heavy than a small feather, and when they launched him, he sailed through the air like a bullet. The entire group watched in astonishment as the light weight faunus kicked the air below him, making him perform a double jump, then he began to spin, moving forward faster, and downward slower, but he reached the water just a little bit from reaching the next building. Fear turned into surprise when the wolf faunus actually kicked the water, performing another jump without even getting his foot wet; once he touched the wall of the taller building, he simply began to make quick rolling jump on it, reaching the top in an instant.
"See? He can fly!" Yang said with a wink, not needing to see her sister to know she was blushing.
"I think it is more like falling with style." Jaune said in a sudden moment of jealousy, for he saw all the girls gawking.
Jin was quick to secure the cable, giving his friends a way to get out of the slowly collapsing building; once finished, he waved back at them, signaling that they were now able to cross.
"Miss Belladonna, you go first and help Jin hold the cable." Glynda immediately ordered, knowing that the cat faunus was perfectly capable of crossing the cable with no problem.
"Leo, you go too; we my need you strength on the other side." Penny ordered too, knowing that should the building didn't last long enough, someone will have to pull them all together.
"WAIT! Why the faunus first?!" Ciel asked in distress, wanting to be rescued ASAP.
"Ease of mobility." Kage answered, just when both feline faunus crossed the dangling cable... running over the line like it was a solid bridge.
"YIKES! Didn't know that faunus were able to do that!" Jaune shouted in surprise at seeing the display of agility, not that it came closer to what Jin did.
"Yes, well, not all faunus can do it..." Stephen said in the sidelines, knowing that his agility was no where close to do the same trick, while Sol just looked down in shame, knowing that he most likely be the last to cross due to his increased weight.
"Ok, light weights first." Professor Peach stated as she approached the cable, just to find that the ones to start climbing were Ruby and Ciel.
While the two girls started to cross cable bridge. Everyone started to hear a odd moan sound which was starting to come from the water. Everyone else looked over the edge as they see a odd glow which was a faint blue almost like one see a fire. The glow was starting to become more orange and red as it was heading toward another building which had survivors on it. The odd moan sound became more frightening as the glow crash right into the building as the people were at the edge as they fell into the water. Some of the people were fighting against the current now but one by one they were pulled under as water around there became a bit more red.
Moving thought the cable had been difficult to some, and downright painful to others; those with heavy equipment resented the ordeal of dangling in such terrible conditions, while those of lithe built were thankful for all those days of diet...
"I HATE THIS!" Neon screamed as she finally reached safety, as odd as it sounds, she was less agile than she had let on, mostly because she was too accustomed to her roller blades.
"I told you you needed to join me at jogging!" Flynt chastised her, while trying to regain his breath after the ordeal, for he wasn't exactly suited for such a work out.
"That's it, just a little bit more, don't give up, Jaune!" Pyrrha shouted after her team leader, for he was having a lot of trouble crossing the cable, being froze in fear quite a few times.
"Hurry up, boys!" Nora screamed to the last pair in the other side; Sol and Stephen had stayed behind for their capabilities, one felt partially out of danger, the other feared that he was too heavy to risk the integrity of the cable.
"You go first, Stephen, I'll be right behind you." Sol offered, knowing that as long as Stephen had a line to hold on, he would be fine.
"Fine, but I want to see you climbing right after me." Stephen shot back, and then began to move with the cable, turning back every now and then to ensure that his companion wasn't playing martyr.
"Guys! Something is coming!" Jaune screamed as he noticed the glow heading in the direction of the building they were in a few minutes ago.
"GUYS! QUICKLY!" Fidget yelled full force when she understood the danger her teammates were in. They can hear the odd moan which seems to be mix in with a human moan and scream of anguish while the glow started to become more orange now.
Stephen and Sol were right in the middle of the way to the next building when the glow reached the building they had been not too long ago, the structure trembled, and the gave in; Sol had just a second to cut the cable before it could drag him and his friend to their doom, leaving him with only little cable to hold on.
"Stephen! Sol!" Jin shouted as he saw his friend plummeting to the water below, Stephen had managed to stay over the water, but Sol was submerged.
'Good thing this suit has a rebreather...' Sol though as he slowly began to climb, however he soon detected an approaching light; when he turned to look at the source, he saw nothing but a gigantic mouth filled with razor sharp teeth, and it was on fire.
'Not like this! NOT LIKE THIS!' Sol thought in absolute despair, knowing that there was no way for him to climb fast enough to evade the monster; and then, when everything seemed lost, he was pulled out with gargantuan strength.
"GGHHAAAAA!" Sol and Stephen screamed as they soared through the air, painfully landing on the roof, along their friends.
"Do you think we pulled too fast?" Yatsuhashi asked to the large blond.
"I don't think we'll hear complains." Leo replied with total neutrality, although a small smirk denoted that he had enjoyed the opportunity to show off.
"I almost got eaten." Sol said as everyone can hear him breath deeply.
"Did you saw what was producing that light?" Glynda asked
"All I saw was just a gigantic mouth with razor sharp teeth. Plus it was also on fire." Sol replied
"Yeah what ever it was just defy most kind of logic with it being alive and on fire while underwater as well." Stephen said.
"Well it seems to be leaving right now. But we should keep on moving since these building are not going to be safe against this unknown entity." Dr. Peach said

While this tsunami event was happening several of Atlas Military Airship were flying overhead surveying the destruction that the natural disaster was bringing on to the city. Inside the largest of the Airship several Atlas Soldiers were manning various control consoles. While a overlooking those soldiers was a man who was wearing a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie, and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants share the same color as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in gray. His hair is black, with some silver and gray areas, while his eyebrows are solid black. He has a strip of silver metal above his right eyebrow. This is General James Ironwood. Leader of Atlas Military and Holder of Two Seats in Alteisan Council.
"Give me sitrep on everything that happening below?" Ironwood asked one of the soldiers.
"A lot of the city is still flooded. There numerous report of all of the citizen taking refuge on the rooftops. We having Bullhead making rescue operation." another officer said who briefly stopped for a second.
"I just received report of that the Bullhead that went to pick up the council members have suddenly vanish off our radar." the officer said to Ironwood.
"Did any of the other Bullhead pilots saw want happen?" Ironwood asked
"One pilot briefly saw what he thought was a odd explosion that leap out of the water and took the Council Bullhead down." the officer said
"We found a large number of citizen stranded on a building a Evac Airbus is moving in to rescue them." the officer said
"We will accompany them." General Ironwood said as the Airship soon started heading toward that location as they can see a lone airbus picking up the survivors. When Ironwood took notice of a odd glow in the water which turn from a blue to a fiery orange as suddenly something erupted out of the water as it looked like a moving explosion. But Ironwood took notice it was somekind of large whale-like creature that was fire as it came crashing down on that airbus taking it, the survivors and the building down into the murky depths.
"That creature defy logic." Ironwood commented amazed by such a creature.
"General want was that thing?" the officer asked
"I don't know what it is but signal the other airships in the fleet. We going to capture that thing." General Ironwood said
"Yes sir!" everyone on the ship said at once.
'That creature can be very useful but we do have to stop it from attacking the citizen." Ironwood thought in his head as the Airship started tracking the glow.

Meanwhile the group were steady making there way to the outskirt of the city. There was still terrible flooding in some areas. But one can tell it not as dangerous as the central area. Ruby was still feeling embarrassed by this whole thing. She glanced at Jin hoping he wasn't staring at her. She can tell alot of the guys were not paying attention to her as it mostly out of respect for her. Plus with what she almost about to be put thru as well if none of them didn't came to save her. But still traveling across the rooftop and still feeling that effect of want ever that crazy Dr. Widow put into her body.
"So how far until we out of the city?" Ruby asked Glynda as everyone else was on the look out for that tattletale glow of that unknown creature.
"It will take a while but at this rate I believe we be able to get out in no time." Glynda reassuringly said to Ruby as she moved a Schnee Company Logo sign into position. She got it into position as everyone quickly cross it as they kept on moving toward safety and to keep a good distance from that creature.

Two hours have pass as the flood water was starting to return back into the ocean as water level were dropping. Several Atlas Airship were flying over a district where majority of Atlas Dust were stored and process at. One can see a faint glow which was starting to follow the flood water. The creature was returning to the ocean.
"There the creature." General Ironwood muttered to himself.
"We got the target in sight." A officer said
"Are the Capture Ships ready?" General Ironwood asked the officer.
"Yes and the nets are ready." the officer replied.
"Good then start the operation." General Ironwood said as soon several of the airship which were carrying a large net started moving forward as they lower it to the ground almost like a large fishing net as it started passing through the water as soon the large net soon ensnare there target as whale-like creature started struggling in the specialized net as one can see the intense glow of the creature light as the water was receding more faster now as more of the creature body was becoming expose as the water level kept on getting lower. Soon the creature was starting to enter into a lethargic state as the fire on it body was now gone as the airships soon started to lift the net upward as they started carrying it lethargic body now.
"Operation is a success. Now prepare to take this creature to secure holding area." General Ironwood ordered as the fleet started to move out with there cargo.
'This creature will be become a very useful weapon." General Ironwood thought in his head as he know they going to have to deny this creature existence to the public and most likely keep some witness quiet as well.
While the creature was being carried away there was actually a damage earlier cause by the flood to the Dust Processing plant which normally sent some of it waste byproduct up into the atmosphere. Critic say Dust ran off might be toxic for the environment as breathing in Dust to much will cause health problems. But Schnee company normally pay off health inspector or because it was just Faunus getting sick. But that run off going into the atmosphere has a hidden danger. If one were to have microscope one can see a single cell organisms making there way down to the processing plant.

"I can't run anymore more." Ruby said as she was exhausted and her feet were hurting from constantly moving across so many rooftops without proper shoes. She was luckily that she didn't got cut on anything sharp during all this. While everyone else was exhausted as well.
"I think it a best idea not to move anymore we might make the building tilt more." Yang groaned as all of them were on top of a tilting building which is why they were not moving at all.
"I can't believe we ran out of buildings to run to. I thought we be able to get out of the city by now." Dr. Peach said
"We just have to be calm." Glynda said
"But how we going to get out of this?" Jaune asked
"I don't think anyone even notice we out here." Ciel said as suddenly they took notice of a large bullhead approaching them as it landed and Ozpin walked which surprise them.
"I so glad all of you are safe. When I saw news reports of that a Tsunami happened. I came over here quickly to get all of you." Ozpin said as all of them found that odd but didn't care as they just went on bullhead.
'Ironwood you messing with something you don't even know and you want to weaponize it." Ozpin thought with a shake of his head.
"Anyway I would suggest all of you get a vacation time, maybe try a island get away." "Ozpin said as he went into the bullhead as it took off and headed back to Beacon Academy while the Atlas Students and Neo just went along for the ride as they were to tired to tell him to drop them back at the Academy or outskirt of Atlas.

"You want me to move out?" Dr. Widow asked the slime as it seems to respond.
"You're right the main objective is complete already. Plus the Social Experiment will be continuing with what the devastation the of the flood bring. It going into stage 2 and it might become more with what General Ironwood plan on doing with unknown lifeform." Dr. Widow replied to the slime who replied back.
"Yes Schnee Company is taken care of and with Jacques death and the lost of a lot of staff plus the tower. Company will suffer heavy loss since Jacques in his bid to abuse and control his family. Never name any of them official heir of the company. They get the fortune but the company is finish for sure. Still thank you for asking Araneae Corporation to help you out. I even got to study the Sliver Eye a bit." Dr. Widow said as the slime glow.
"Yes she was rescue by her friends." Dr. Widow replied as the Slime glow a bit brighter now.
"I bid you farewell then Ms. Salem." Dr. Widow said as the slime just plain vanish from sight.
I hope all of you enjoy this chapter. Also thank you Magus for helping out in this chapter with yours scenes.
