Fuyu: Guess who's back? Sorry for it being a little bit shorter than the others since I felt obligated to just post something.
Chapter 11: Encounters
Gris arrived to the harbor, hiding behind a crate just to see Sun and Blake fighting a certain crime boss. "Torchwhick," Gris says to himself, "That bastard..."
He then jumps into combat avoiding a falling shipping crate as both Blake and Sun rolled out of the way. Gris saw the opportunity to jump in with this going on. He ran towards the shipping container past a surprised Blake, jumping over and striking at Roman. "Hello, Roman," Gris says after Roman blocked his attack.
"You're that other kid that interrupted one of my robberies," Roman says with a casual tone, "I would have cleaned that place out in one night when my boys said you shown up."
"Well," Gris says with a slight smile, "I'm here now, let's fight." He jumps back and slashed and shot but each strike was narrowly avoided and blocked even with the occasional hit. Suddenly, Roman jabbed foreward as the end of his cain knocking Gris backwards as Roman opened its gun barrel with a sight. Gris cursed as he rolled away as Roman fired a shot.
"what are you doing here," Blake yells at Gris.
Gris was still running as he shouted, "L-later! We got a fight to do!"
No further questions were asked as both Blake and Sun began fighting along side Gris. However, the three of them always end up surrounded by the White Fang soldiers as they try to fight Roman. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, "Hey!"
"Oh hello, Red," Roman says sarcasticly, "Isn't it past your bedtime?"
Gris, Blake and Sun looks to see Ruby as she tries to talk to someone. Then behind Gris, he turns to also hear more gunfire and fighting. Upon looking, he sees a young man about his age in some strange armor fighting off some White Fang as Gris wonders in his head, 'Who is this guy?'
That moment, Roman fired a shot at Ruby blasting her back. Suddenly, a girl with orange, curly hair jumped inwith swords floating behind her. As White Fang tried to fight her, she takes each opponent down with ease. Seeing this opportunity, the three continue fighting as the strange girl jumps back when a Bulkhead opened fire with a machine gun. She blocks the bullets with her swords and actually charges up before firing a huge, green beam of energy. Meanwhile, the boy in armor drew a blade made almost entirely of energy as he began fighting them off with his blade. Amidst the chaos of battle, Roman boards another Bulkhead transport as he says to himself, "These kids just keep getting wierder..." He then shuts the hatch and the ship takes off. Some White Fang remained as Gris silently cursed himself for losing Roman but then continued fighting until the rest of team RWBY came along with the appropriate authorities which proceded to arrest the White Fang they were fighting. To Gris' surprise, his team arrived just a bit later.
"G-guys!?" Gris starts but was interrupted as Kala had him in a tight hug pressing him against her rather ample bosom as she says, "Oh Gris I'm happy you were okay!"
"Wh-why are you here," Gris says, his voice kind of muffled.
"I wanted to see how you were doing since you've been out for a little longer than usual," Kala explained as she let go before Gris suffocated, "The team decided to tag along so when we heard the fighting we rushed there as fast as we can and even called the police."
"Can't believe that you were in the thick of it," Matt says, "Especially against Roman."
"I was hoping to gague our enemy's strength," Ilia says, "I guess maybe next time."
"We should at least be happy that our leader is okay," Izzy says with a smile.
"W-well...Th-thanks, guys," Gris says.
Off to the side, it seems that team RWBY is talking things out along with Sun. Suddenly, Blake heads over to Gris as he says, "Oh, Blake, what's up?"
Without warning, Blake hugged him catching him by surprise as she says, "Thanks for coming to help, Gris."
"U-u-um...er...I-it's n-no p-p-problem..." Gris manages to say as his face is now a bright red.
Blake lets go with a smile on her face and says, "Also, thank you for telling me your story. I was worried when you ran off...I thought you were mad at me."
"O-oh um, sorry about that," Gris says, "I used to do that a lot after my parents died...it's a bit of a long story b-but the short version was that I pushed so many people away that it became part of my semblance," he sighs, "Talk about irony..."
"Oh..." Was what Blake could say as though she knew something similar. Gris could only wonder what that could be but he knew that she understood his pain. In the distance, Gris could see a bluish figure getting away wondering who that might be or why was he here.
After some time of talking with the police about the recent incident, they headed back to Beacon. All of them were tired since it was a long battle and it was night time. Something does seem to have Blake thinking, though but but even Gris hopes it's nothing he should be too concerned about jsut yet.
