Alright guys! Here comes the Action! Hope you all like it. Let me know what you think :) Should adress some people's concerns on Jaune being the leader here. I'm not making him into the next Napoleon or Alexander the Great. Jaune is a simple guy that comes up with Simple plans. The Great thing is they WORK :D So as always thanks for reading :)

Shit...

Things were hitting the fan quickly and we needed to get it together. I did a quick scan looking around our surroudings. The sounds in the distance continued and grew ever closer. I looked at the others as they took defensive stances and scanned their surroudings. It wasn't looking good as they were all obviously freaked out.

"Alright. Ruby,Blake, Ren, and Velvet, I need you guys to buy Yang,Nora, and I some time to meet up with the others. All of you got mobility on your side so use it to you advantage. Once we meet the other we'll shoot another flare. Got it?" The nodded, apparently much better off now that they had instuctions to follow. They shot off towards the enemy like bullets from a gun.

"Lets move it slowpokes..." and so myself and the others ran.

Stategically this was the best option possible. Jaune was strong defensively and with an all-rounder like Weiss and a ranged fighter like Pyrrah they could hold out til we arrived. The problem was that out of all of our units Yang and Nora were pretty much the slowest. Heck I was a tank, defensively, and I could still beat them any day of the week when it came to a race.

They were trying their hardest though. I could hear shots from the others weapons in the distance and ahead there were sounds of conflict. We needed to hurry...

"I'm going ahead to buy you guys some time. Get there as fast as you can and come in hard, clear?"

"Got it!" Yang shouted back as I rocketed forward. A horozontal log came up and I used it like a springboard to go airborne. I looked down to see the flash of glyphs and gunfire. There in the middle of a clearing was Jaune and the others. Jane was at the fore hacking at the oncoming Grimm. They were coming in a trickle now, but I knew it would become a wave in no time flat.

I launched downwards unsheathing Mercy and craterd an ursa as it reared on its hind legs. I was in the fight just like that next to Jaune. I could tell he was tired. I fought like never before. One by one Grimm fell before me like childs play. Jaune stepped back, taking a break now that the defense had arrived.

"Jaune! We can't hold here, we need a better position..."

"Where's Blake!?"

"Should be here soon! Yang will fire a flare to let them know when to come back. The others are keeping the main force busy!"

"Right!"

So I did my job then. It became a practice and routine after a few. It started with beowolves and then there were multiples and then there was varieties of Grimm coming at me. I was full of energy and this was only a slight drain. I was regnerating more than I was outputting. They would slash I would block with Retribution and then Kill with Mercy. That or disarm them with Mercy and then shoot with Retribution. It went like that for a time. None of them were getting past me and in their current state of blood frenzy, none of them were thinking enough to try and go another way around me.

Yang and Nora showed up. Nora launched from the woods with her massive warhammer taking out a particularly massive ursa that was about to attack and hit him out of the park. She got behind me as Yang came up beside her and launched a flare. This enraged the nearby Grimm as they seemed to come quicker than before and with more ferocity.

"Weiss! Some help!?"

"On it!"

Glyphs glowed on the ground occasionly knocking the oncomers up, back, or off their feet. They were so unbalanced that it was too easy to chop them in half while they flailed around helplessly. I marveled at the ability of me weapon. It was as sharp as the horizon splitting the sea from sky. It was the daybreaks start. The unreachable distance...

The blade glowed blue and shot throught the oily blackness of Grimm like shadow before the light. Yang was helping me out now. We just needed time to get a plan!

Blake shot into the clearing and was quickly called to by Jaune. I don't know what he said, but I saw her shoot out of the clearing like an arrow soon after she arrived. The others were behind me and were waiting for something to do. I was handling this well, but I knew that it was better to be prepared.

"Ruby on Overwatch!" I saw her confused "If its big shoot it!" nodding she hopped to a nearby tree. "Nora you help with that. Boom-shackalacka?" she grinned maliciously muttering something about breaking their legs. "Velvet help us with defense. If they get smart..." I hacked down another wolf "and try to go around take care of them. Have Ren help!"

So we held like that against the ever increasing wave of enemies. It was impossible to tell how long we were there and the plan held together. Helping each other we were able to hold, but we knew it wasn't going to last long...

Blake finally dashed back into the clearing. Jaune broke off from beside me. I didn't catch anything that was said as I was preoccupied.

"We got it guys! There's nearby high ground. If we get there we have the advantage. We've taken care half of them so far! Make it there it'll be easy! Rai, Ruby, and Blake I need you guy to buy us time!"

"Got it brother! GO!"

The other all left as it was just Ruby, Blake and I. The enemy grew feverish at out decreased forces and took it as an opening.

"Ruby! Spread some chaos! Scramble them up for me. If you need a break..." I blast an ursa in the face and rotate to cut another in half "...go back to what you were doing!".

"Blake! See if you can lay some traps for them as they come for us. Slow them down! However you can..." I couldn't talk anymore as I was fully focused on the task at hand.

Five Ursa and ten beowolves. So a tribe and a pack. Yikes. Two of the ursa came from each side, swiping from opposite directions. I spun low and cut their legs off as Ruby decapitated them. Moving forwards I shot two wolves in center mass. They were finished. The remaining ursa led the next attack. Blake on her way took out the remaining wolves and I blasted one ursa in the face at close range creating a blast of crimson from the back end. I finished the other two with a stab throught the heart of one and then quickly spinning to cut the other in half.

It continued with the occasional Grimm grouping come along. It was definitely slower than before. Apparently having sent the bulk of their force against us initially they were getting more cautious. I had just finished off a small pack as Blake came back clearly panicked...

"What's wrong?!"

She pointed behind her.

A massive collection of Grimm was heading straight towards us. They trampled over each other in their eagerness to arrive first to the kill. I couldn't tell what, but they seemed different. The hair on their hackles stood on end and it was obvious that they were absolutely crazy...well more than usual.

There were way too many for us to handle and it was painfully obvious. I cut through one more ursa as the wave came into the clearing.

"RUN!" I yelled to the others.

I cracked forward into the woods like a burst of lightning. I didn't bother dodging the trees and differed to simply charge through them. Ruby and Blake followed behind me, each taking pot shots behind them to try and slow some of the faster ones down.

I spotted the others on a nearby clifftop. The cliffside was covered in vines and caves that would make it possible to climb up. We didn't have time for that though. I grabbed Ruby and Blake around their waists and put some gusto into jumping the cliff in one bound. Once I hit the bottom of the cliff, I jumped vertically.

I flew up feeling the wind stream around us. The weight we had collectively was slowing us down as we approached the summit. I grunted with the effort of getting us enough juice to get to the top. I just managed to get my knees to the edge and force my upper body forward. The girls fell with me and quickly stood, brushing themselves off. I was sore at this point and starting to get tired. I was getting better by the moment though as I could feel my energy quickly refilling.

I came to a knee. Jaune and the others were coming over and looking concerned.

"What happened?" Yang asked

I pointed a thumb over my shoulder towards the cliff. Jaune peered over and grew pale. The others got concerned.

"That's a lot of Grimm..." Ren stated

"We need a plan." I panted, looking at Jaune "We are safe for now, but the chances of things staying like this are rather slim. They will find a way up or around and then we're done for."

The others nodded. Jaune spoke up "The good side in this is that our mission is right in front of us. That must be the main body of the enemy force. So if we finish these guys off we might be done. I think our Nevermore problem was taken care of by the airship and there arent any Deathstalkers so we're in the home stretch. Let me think..."

Pacing back and forth Jaune started thinking things over.

"We don't have time for that idiot!" Weiss interrupted "We need a plan now! I know what we can do..."

I stopped her there "Frankly Weiss it probably won't work. There is a reason Jaune, Ruby, Velvet and I get to take Strategy classes. Know one factor that a leader should never have? Pride because they alone are nothing. The power in leadership is teamwork and cooperation. So how long are you gonna keep stamping your foot like a brat? Please. I'm simply asking for you to let Jaune do his thing. You'll we suprised..."

I could see her internal struggle. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing, but it was visible. Blake came up beihind her and held her hand. The tension that had been in her shoulders up until this point relaxed immediately. She nooded and then leaned agaisnt a nearby tree with Blake. I nodded and waited as Jaune came together with some sort of plan.

It took some time and a few questions from his part to the other. Sometimes he would ask me for ideas that I would happily give. The sun was past noon at this point and we were all much better rested.

"Alright!" Jaune clapped his hands "I got it. Unfortunately we can't pull any stunts like during the exam. Nothing like that is going to work here as we are going to overwhelmed before we get anything like that together. So the only thing we can really do is have one group draw a lot of attention while the others take them out unaware. So Rai, Yang, Weiss, and myself are going to dive for the center of their forces. The rest of you need to be quick and lethal. Nora can hide in one of the caves and take pot shots. So that means Ruby, Ren, Pyrrah, Blake, and Velvet are going to skirt around their forces..." he motioned to the Grimm "...and take them out while they are focused on us. This is risky I'm not going to lie, but I believe we can make this work. Good?"

There were nods from everywhere though some seemed nervous. Those jittery nerves that had been there just this morning had been forgotten in the shock of battle.

"Let's do it then. We need to finish it before sundown. That means we have about..." he paused looking up "...6 hours. That's a lot of time, but it needs to be said. My team will go down first..."

"Alright" I said "I'll clear you all a spot to land. Also Yang..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm pretty sure I saw a lock of your hair on the grond earlier..."

"Aw HELL NO!" she said flames lighting around her.

"Race to the bottom?" I myself was being sheathed with the thick black smoke, my frame being wreathed in lightning and fire, the force of chaos and destruction.

"It. Is .On!"

I leaped from the cliff falling to the ground like a meteor sheathed in force and rage.

Once more into the breach...I run.

So? What you guys/gals think? Let me know with a review or PM :) Thanks for reading as always and hopefully see you next time!

I've decided that the mission is going to be a four parter. So stick with me :D

Thanks :D-Raven Righter
