Chapter 11
Destruction and Despair.
The large monstrous Grimm flies close to the ship Dawn and Ruby were on.
The both were shocked at the monstrous Grimm with tons of smaller versions of it flying with it.
Two of these Griffin Grimm attacked the two but we're quickly slashed at.
The two looked behind them to see Neo looking at them holding a scroll.
"Who's she"
Dawn said aiming her Gun blades at Neo.
Suddenly Neo's outfit changed from a uniform to her normal outfit and she took a picture with the scroll.
Meanwhile Hiroki had separated from Yang to cover more ground.
Hiroki took down each white fang member saw making sure to break any weapon they had.
"Pathetic"
Meanwhile.
Erika was holding off one of the robots while the other students held off another.
Erika continued to shoot at the robot but wasn't making a single dent in it.
The robot nearly punched her.
Erika jumped back.
"Why won't this thing fall".
The robot shot at her.
Erika continued to move when she saw velvet taking down two robots by herself.
"If she can take two"
She put her hands on the ground.
The trees around her began to break and surround her.
She was covered in wood that acted has armor.
Her aura surrounds the wood making it has tough as metal.
The robot tries to punch her but Erika takes it without feeling a thing.
She punches the robots arm shattering it instantly.
The robot tried to punched her again but this time she jumped on to the robots arm leaving the armor behind.
The armor had trapped the robots arm.
Erika ran to the top of the robot spinned her spear and stabbed its head
She jumped down as the robot dies and fell to her knees
"That sucked"
Back on the ship.
Ruby and Dawn attacked neo who kept dodging instantly.
Ruby shot at neo who had cracked to pieces and Roman torchwick stood and shot Ruby and Dawn away.
Dawn landed on her feet using her spirit strings to hold her.
While Ruby uses her scythe to keep her from falling off the ship.
Torchwick approaches Ruby.
"Little Red Little Red your just determined to be the hero of Vale with some help I see"
He looks at Dawn
"Not with a green this time I don't blame you."
"I'm just as dangerous as Shade"
"Doubtful"
He looks back at Ruby.
"What are you doing?"
She asked Torchwick
"Without these ships the Grimm will destroy everything"
"That's the plan"
He tries to shoot Ruby who knocked away his can.
Ruby got up and Neo tried to attack her but Dawn kicked her away.
"This seems more fair"
Dawn aimes at Neo.
Neo smiles and runs at Dawn kicking her close to the edge and then Ruby joined her as a Ruby failed to dodge a Grimm.
"But why what do you get out of it"
Torchwick responds
"Your asking the wrong questions red"
Dawn noticed a Grimm about to pull Ruby down.
"Sorry Ruby"
She pushes Ruby forward as the Grimm pulled at Dawn who fell off the ship but killed the Grimm quickly.
"DAWN!"
Ruby shouts as Dawn fell out of sight.
Dawn saw the ground getting close very fast.
"Not good not good"
She noticed two large building near each other.
She quickly creates several layers of spirit strings that were between the two buildings.
"I hope this works"
Dawn fell and broke through nearly all the layers.
She crashed into the ground hard.
"Ow"
She groaned in pain leaning against a building.
"At least I'm alive"
She gets up and feels a lot of pain
"No"
She continued to move.
"I can't stop"
She begins to run
"Nothing will stop me no matter what challenge"
Dawn sees Qrow in the distance after he sliced a Grimm in half with his weapon in scythe form.
She goes to him.
"Control ship, two people, Ruby and I attacked them I was hit off the ship."
Dawn said to him.
Qrow looks at the general then at Dawn.
"She'll be fine I know it"
He looks at Ironwood
"So what now general?"
"Someone's done the impossible and gained control of my machines I believe it was the two this young lady mentioned."
Dawn nods.
"And that enormous Grimm seems fixated on the school."
He looks at Glynda
"Gather the nearest huntsman and establish a safe zone in Vale."
He looks at Qrow
"We need to evaluate Beacon,qrow I'm leaving that to you and my men, I still need to get to my ship"
That said ship just crashed and exploded
The machines began to shut down all around them.
Back at the school.
Erika stood next to Weiss tired when Yang ran toward them
"Have either of you heard from Ruby?"
"No sorry Yang I haven't seen her at all"
Erika said sadly
Weiss shook her head.
"What about Blake?"
Yang asked
"She went after an alpha and some members of the white fang"
Erika points where Blake ran.
Yang looks at Weiss
"You look for Ruby,I'll meet up with Blake"
"I'll help Weiss"
Erika uses her spear to stand.
Weiss gives Yang a thumbs up as she leaves.
Meanwhile.
Shade had caught up with Jaune Pyrrha and Ozpin and they took the elevator down to a basement floor and ran towards the end of the hall.
Jaune and Shade looked around.
"What is this place?"
Jaune asked
"Clearly the reason why Pyrrha has been off"
Shade responded.
"Sorry, and it's a type of vault"
Pyrrha said to them.
"You've been here before?"
Jaune asked her.
"Yes"
"The day you returned my book?"
"Yes"
Jaune looked puzzled as they ran
"What would this school need to hide?"
There approached the machine with the fall maiden inside one chamber.
"What?"
Jaune asked puzzled.
"Ozpin you need to explain now!"
Shade shouts to them.
"Pyrrha get in the pod."
Ozpin looks at Shade.
"I'll explain when the time comes just stand guard here with Mr.arc"
Shade looked mad.
"Fine"
The two turned behind them ready to fight whatever was to come.
"What do we do now?"
Pyrrha asked Ozpin
"We do nothing"
The pod opens
"You Ms. Nikos have a choice to make"
Pyrrha looks at the pod then at her friends and then goes into the pod.
Meanwhile
A few moments after Yang left Hiroki ran into the students at beacon.
He saw Erika
"I'd knew you'd survive"
She said smiling
"Are you ever not cheerful?"
"Nope"
"It's nice to see you safe but I was with Yang before where is she?"
Erika points in a direction.
Hiroki prepares to run off but Erika grabs his arm.
"Be careful"
Her smile turned to a worried look.
Hiroki nods and Erika let's go.
Hiroki runs in that direction.
Meanwhile
Jaune and Shade immediately turned around and saw Pyrrha screaming in pain has orange energy flows into her pod.
Jaune runs towards her
"Pyrrha!"
Jaune shouts looking at the machine.
"I'm so sorry"
Ozpin says
Shade looks and sees two arrows heading towards them.
One towards Pyrrha the other towards the fall maiden.
Shade uses his shield gauntlet to block the arrow aimed at Pyrrha.
The fall maiden was hit.
The three look to see Cinder is the one who fired the arrows.
"You?"
Shade looked closely and could tell that she resembled the one from the dance.
"You"
Shade said angrily
Back with Hiroki
He heard a loud should
"NOOOOO!"
He picked up his pace.
Back at Shade
Suddenly all the torches in the place went out.
Suddenly a large burst of energy flew from the fall Maiden's pod into Cinder.
Cinder flies up with fire around her.
Jaune and Shade ran at her.
"Stay back!"
Ozpin shouts
But Shade and Jaune were flinged back.
Pyrrha was banging on her pod.
She pushed the door into Cinder.
It bounced right off her.
"What is she?"
Shade asked as cinder lands.
Pyrrha grabbed her weapons and prepared to attack when Ozpin blocked her.
"You three get out of hers,find Glynda,ironwood,qrow and bring them here right away, the tower cannot fall"
Shade puts his blade back in his gauntlet.
He nods at Pyrrha.
She helps Jaune up and starts to run.
Shade follows but looks back at Ozpin
"You better not forget about what you promised me."
He goes to catch up with his friends.
Meanwhile
Hiroki made it to the destroyed cafe and saw a Adam Taurus wielding a red sword heading towards Blake and a one armed Yang.
When Hiroki saw Adam's masked face.
Hiroki saw memory flashes of him when he was younger.
He was running into the woods to escape the white fang.
He looked back and saw the man who killed his mother.
The man with red a hair a red sword and a mask.
He looks back and saw Adam was about to slice Blake.
Hiroki felt something snap within him.
"No more will die by his hand"
Hiroki appears in front of Adam blocking his sword.
"What the?"
Adam sees Hiroki in his semblance form.
"Go now"
Blake quickly moved yang and ran out with her.
Hiroki glared at Adam angrily
"Wait I remember you, you're that kid who ran when we crushed your village, is this your pathetic attempt at vengeance?"
"No"
Hiroki pushed Adam back.
"This is an execution"
Hiroki aimed one of his two blades at Adam.
"Nothing will stop me from killing you"
