Another chapter coming up here now, enjoy!
Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (RIP) along with Rooster Teeth.
But before she could work out a plan to do so Winter's scroll began to vibrate. "It appears both of the Paladins have been activated."
"HEEEELLLLP!" Sun screamed from the top of his lungs as he and Blake ran away from the two Paladins chasing after them.
Soon after wards Yang was chasing after them on her motorbike with Neptune.
"Well... It seems it was easy to find."
"If Yang is involved so is Ruby. Why are those two getting into shit like this? Let's go!"
Volume 2: Chapter 4: Another fine mess you've gotten me in to.
"Okay... I never thought our investigation would end like this." Ruby nervously stated as she and the rest of her team were surrounded by two stolen Atlesian Paladins.
"It's a shame it has to end this way. Good night ladies." Roman spoke from inside one of the Paladins.
The Paladin powered by Roman fired a several missiles towards Team RWBY. The girls fired off several rounds of dust ammunition and destroyed several of the oncoming missiles but one was missed. Before it hit Team RWBY Yang tried her best to cover Ruby from the blast but a glyph appeared to block the missiles from hitting Team RWBY.
All of the girls then looked at Weiss. "Thanks Weiss." Yang sighed in relief.
"IThat wasn't me." Weiss honestly answered. She was just as shocked as the rest of Team RWBY by the glyph's sudden appearance.
"Then who was it?" Blake asked.
"Can you two not stay out of trouble one once!" A male voice shouted out to the group. They all looked up to find Winter and Aodh standing on the edge of the highway above them.
"Aodh!" Yang and Ruby shouted out.
"Winter!" Weiss shouted out but unlike Ruby and Yang it was in a more shocked tone.
"Are you okay Weiss?" Winter asked with heavy concern for Weiss.
"I'm fine... Thank you."
"You girls hold back for a few moments." Aodh stated as he grabbed his scroll. Almost instantly a rocket locker appeared in the air. It was about to crash into one of the Paladins but the mecha avoided the locker at the last moment.
"Going for the kill it seems. How very much like you Aodh." Roman spoke with a nostalgic in his voice.
"Alright divide and conquer! Team RWBY take out Roman's Paladin. Me and Winter will deal with the other one. GO!"
"On it Aodh! Checkmate!" Ruby signaled for Weiss and Blake to attack the Paladin controlled by Roman.
By this time Aodh arrived to the rocket locker he had called for and pull out Scath and Solas as well as his woven fire dust gloves. "Do you know if these things have any weaknesses Winter?"
"None that I know of. So far they've only been tested on Grimm. We never expected them to be used like this."
"Well let's give it a proper field test against Huntsmen then. I'm sure the General would love to read a report on how they handle the two of us!" Aodh calmly spoke before he charged at other the Paladin.
"Try aiming for the joints on it's arms and legs!" Winter shouted towards Aodh.
Taking Winter suggestion Aodh fired a gravity dust round from Scath and transformed Solas to it's tanto form. The dust round connected to the Paladin's left arm and increased the weight of the arm slowing it's movement.
Shrouding the Solas' blade with lightning dust Aodh slashed at the joint. Like hot knife through butter Aodh made it look easy as he cleaned cut an arm off the Paladin.
Meanwhile Team RWBY were holding there own against Roman's controlled Paladin. As they too had also managed to cut off the arm of one of the Paladins as Yang was currently punching the Paladin's back.
Inside Roman was being knocked around. Eventually he manged to get Yang off his back by moving backwards on to several pillars. Finally Yang was stuck on one. Moving back the paladin turned and punched Yang through the pillar.
"Yang!" Blake shouted out in distress.
"Don't worry! With each hit she gets stronger, and she uses that energy to fight back! That's what makes her special." Ruby reassured Blake as Yang slowly got up to her feet her hair slowly starting to burn.
Aodh looked over to notice Yang activating her semblance and smirked as he turned to Winter. "Hey Winter, we gonna let some kids show us up by destroying a Paladin first?"
"What do you mean by destroying? We need to bring these back!" Winter stated to wards Aoch only to find him pointing out to that both of the stolen Paladins were missing an arm.
"I don't think that's gonna happen. Sorry Winter. I learnt this leasson long ago. Don't get in Yang's way when she activates her semblance." Next thing they Aodh and Winter knew was watching Yang punching away the last remaining arm of the Paladin Roman was controlling.
Winter knew Aodh was right in what he was saying. "I suppose you have a point. What do you have in mind?"
"How many of your white Beowolves can you summon in one go?" Aodh asked as he gave Winter a cheeky grin.
"More than enough. What's your plan?"
"If I told you, you'd stop me." Aodh stated as he started to take his shirt off.
"W-what the hell are you stripping for in the middle of a fight!" Winter's face was currently bright red as he looked at Aodh bare chest.
"Winter! The Beowolves!" Aodh snapped back at Winter as he threw his shirt to the ground.
Winter summoned seven white Beowolves. The Beowolves grabbed hold of the Paladin stopping it from moving. "Now what?" Winter asked Aodh.
But before Winter got an answer she noticed Aodh had also taken off his gloves as well.
"I'll melt it away..." Aodh simply stated as he slowly walked towards the Paladin. Taking a slow breath his skin began to light up in flames. Soon his whole body was on fire. The asphalt on the ground slowly began to melt due to the heat of the flames Aodh's body was producing.
"What the heck are you doing!? STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" Winter shouted out to Aodh but he simply ignored her cries.
Slowly Aodh's walk began to fasten in pace until he was in a full on sprint. As he continue'd to gain momentum Aodh smirked when he noticed he was going to destroy the paladin before Yang.
Raising his fist Aodh punched square onto the Paladin where he believed the cockpit was. Within a millisecond upon contact an explosion bursted forward from his fist. The Paladin was caught within the explosion as were the Beowolves holding the Paladin as well. The mecha suit itself was completely destroyed as it faded to dust and ash.
A small pink and brown hair girl was blasted backwards from the explosion and rolled beside Roman. Roman looked up to see the state Aodh was in. Noticing Aodh walking towards him Roman tried to wake up Neo but found she was knocked out cold. "Neo! Get up Neo!"
"You're not getting away this time Roman. Give up." Aodh looked directly as Roman as he slowly spoke.
"Aodh! What are you doing!?" Yang looked on worried for Aodh when he seen his body in flames.
"I'm fine Yang go back to your team!" Aodh snapped back at Yang as he kept his eye line directly on Roman.
"I'm afraid Aodh... I'll have to postpone this meeting." Roman stated towards Aodh . Having had enough Aodh started to run towards Roman as he activated his own semblance. Seeing Aodh red eyes through the flames Roman though quickly and grabbed a flash bomb and set it off in front of Aodh.
Covering his eye from the burning bright light Aodh growled out in annoyance. When he opened his eyes the whole group seen Roman escape with a knocked out Neo in a Bullhead. Annoyed at himself Aodh let the flames surrounding his body die out. When the flames subsided however he fell to the ground. "Ouch... Pain... So much pain..." Aodh moaned out as his whole body was covered in heavy cramping pins and needles.
Yang, Ruby and Winter rushed over to Aodh's side. "You're such an idiot, you dolt!" Winter said with relief in her voice.
"Oh you do that too huh?" Ruby however concerned she was for Aodh was momentarily side tracked when she heard Winter call Aodh a dolt.
"You should stop doing that you'll get yourself killed." Yang scolded with an angry tone.
"Says the one who drives like a maniac. " Slowly Aodh tried to force himself to stand. Winter moved to help him up along with Ruby. "I'm okay, I'm okay. Now... You DUMBASSES!" Aodh then swiftly punched the top of Ruby's, Weiss', Blake's and Yang's head.
"OWWWWWW!" The four girls groaned in pain. They each swore they could feel a lump swell on the top of there heads.
"What did you do that for?!" Ruby asked she as she held back the tears in her puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah I can understand hitting Yang and Ruby but why me and Blake?" Weiss complained as she rubbed the back of her head as well. She was about to continue when she seen Winter's look of disapproval towards her.
"You know why Weiss. Consider yourself lucky me and Aodh happened to be nearby. Although Aodh seems to be worse for were now."
"I'm fine so no need for the pampering. But if you wish to pamper me in private that I can." Winter then swiftly slapped the back of Aodh's head. Aodh winced out as he gave a cheeky grin in return. "Now come on. Let's get out of here before anything else goes down." Aodh stated as he slowly started to walk away with support from Winter.
However just as they were about to leave several cars and bull heads full of local Vale police officers arrived at the scene and surrounded the huntsman and huntresses. "Aww shit." Aodh let out a low groan.
(A few hours later)
"Well sorry about ending the night this way." Aodh apologized to Winter as the two of them along with Team RWBY left the local police station.
"That reminds me. What were you two doing anyway?" Yang asked.
"Yeah. Yang does have a point. What were you doing?" Ruby agreed with Yang as well. Weiss and Blake however even if they didn't say anything looked on expecting an answer.
"Well you see... umm." Aodh struggled to find an answer that would work for Yang's question without the girls knowing it was actually a date.
"It was a date." Winter simply noted to the group as she continue'd to walk. Her statement caused Aodh and Team RWBY to stop in there tracks. Weiss looked on in shock. Aodh however looked at Winter in betrayal as he seen the wide eyes of excitement in Ruby's and Yang's eyes.
"What?" Weiss simply asked. Her face was as white as he clothes.
"Come now Weiss. You can't expect a girl to live a life without dating at least once." Blake answered a still stunned Weiss.
"Not bad." Yang nudged Aodh's side. She was about to continue but the look on Aodh's face brought her pure terror. He had a deadly grinning smirk on his face. "What are you going to do?" Yang nervously asked Aodh as she slowly backed away.
Aodh didn't respond. Instead he grabbed Yang's hair and shaped her hair into pigtails. Yang blushed heavily from embarrassment. She was mad someone grabbed her hair but she knew if anything was said or done it would end badly for her. "Consider this punishment for getting into trouble... And I'll take care you you three later."
The rest of Team RWBY jumped back in fear as Winter couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh and Weiss. I'm allowing Aodh to do whatever he sees fit as punishment as well. " Winter had a glint of mischief in her eyes as she looked at her younger sister Weiss.
"Anything you say... Then how about this?" Before Winter could answer Aodh's question he pulled her in for a full on kiss on her lips.
The girls of Team RWBY squealed in shock as Winter who at first fought back but only to eventually submit to Aodh's sudden kiss. As the kiss ended Aodh gave a smug look towards Weiss who fainted in shock.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" Winter shouted back at Aodh. Her face was as bright as a tomato.
"That was also a punishment for you as well. As they say two birds with one stone. This just means as far as i'm concerned it's three down and two to go." Aodh tired to defend his recent actions.
"WHAT THE HELL AM I BEING PUNISHED FOR?!" Winter now pulled out her sword and swung at Aodh. Ducking under her sword Aodh tried once more to calm Winter down.
"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down it was only a kiss nothing more!"
"THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS!" Seeing Winter's face Aodh had no other option but to run for it. "GET BACK HERE AND MAKE UP FOR IT!" Winter screamed as she gave chase leaving Team RWBY looking on wards still not fully processing what just happened.
And Cut!
Okay gonna answer a question I think a few might be asking over Aodh's fire form. It was hinted in a few older chapters so I'll give it a more in depth explanation. As you know Aodh has fire dust implanted into his lungs. Now since oxygen travels trough the body from the lungs Aodh is able to allow small particles of dust into his blood stream. Since only human/faunus have full control over nature's wrath I allow Aodh to ignite the dust within his blood to burst his skin into flames. Also due to arua and only igniting the dust close to his skin it allows Aodh's skin to quickly recover after wards and not allow his body to burn. However since his body shows no signs of damage he'll still receive the pain as a side effect afterwards.
Now as for removing the shirt well that's simple. Aodh has most of his clothes are made of a highly heat resistant material that doesn't burn. As for his hair not burning away. The same as Yang... aura.
Anyway though let's get started with this chapter's Q&A!
1) If you had to pick a RWBY character and a WWE Superstar to meet, who would it be and why? Easy one to answer Dean Ambrose and Nora. It will be pure carnage!
2) Will Aodh be the one to fight Salem when the final battle happens? Most likely no. I am guessing Ruby will be the one to fight Salem at the end of the series but i could work something in that Aodh helps Ruby in some way. But again it depends on what happens in volume 4 or possibly volume 5.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
