Hey folks, welcome back to my story. Things are closing in, there's going to be a lot of combat in this chapter, since it is obviously based on the Volume 2 finale. However, there's a big twist right at the end. Stay until the end to find out.
After Blake, Weiss, Ryu, Gwen, Doctor Oobleck, and Zwei looked around the underground caverns, they saw Damien, Yang, and Neos beating the tar out of several White Fang goons.
Neos grabbed an unconscious goon, and started violently shaking him. "All right, you son of a bitch! You better tell me where the hell Ruby is, or so help me…!" He glared, with his teeth clenched.
"Neos!" Ruby shouted while dashing away from her captor, Roman Torchwick.
"Ruby!" Yang, Neos, and Damien all happily shouted as the four embraced in a group hug.
Everyone else ran up to reunite with the four. "Are you alright?" Weiss asked.
Ruby assured. "I'm fine, I'm fine! But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there."
"What?!" Blake exclaimed while she hands Ruby her weapon.
"Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars!" She explained.
Oobleck scoffed. "Ahhhh, that's ridiculous. These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead-end."
However, Roman's voice echoed all over the intercom. "Get to your places, we are leaving now!" After that, the train started to move towards the tunnel.
"Well, it's looks like they're still going somewhere!" Neos pointed out.
"We need backup. Let me call Jaune!" Ruby reached for her scroll and tries to dial Team JNPR, but her scroll still got a low signal. "I can't get through!"
Weiss asked, concerned. "What do we do now?"
Well, only one we can do." Damien answered while facing the train, as everyone knew what he meant and nodded in agreement.
"We're stopping that train!" Ruby pointed Crescent Rose, as the Two Teams, including Oobleck and Zwei dashed towards the runaway train.
After everyone got aboard the train, they were greeted by dozens of White Fang members. To make matters worse, each train cart was loaded with explosives. As one of the carts decoupled itself, it exploded into a nearby wall, creating a hole, and causing several types of Grimm to emerge.
"Whoa! Just what exactly is he planning?" Ryu wondered.
"Oh no…" Oobleck said, as the Grimm advanced towards them. "He's planning to lead Grimm to the city!"
"What?!" Weiss exclaimed.
"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!" The doctor elaborated.
"That's insane!" Blake stated.
As another train car decouples from the rest, Oobleck ordered everyone except for Ruby and Neos to proceed into the cabins and stop the bombs, while the three of them, including Zwei, battled the WF guards who were now piloting Atlesian Paladins.
Meanwhile, in the first cabin, as the other six made their way to the end, Neopolitan flew down with her umbrella in hand, ready to stop them. Yang and Damien decided to battle her, while the remaining four fled to the next car. The second cabin was no different, as the White Fang Lieutenant was waiting for them. Weiss and Gwen stayed to face him, but first Weiss gave Blake a few different Dust containers to use. After Blake and Ryu reached the end, they were greeted by Torchwick himself. Everyone readied their weapons as they prepared to face their respective opponents.
Yang and Damien looked down upon Neo, who was clearly a foot shorter than the two. However, Neo was unfazed by the difference in size, as she gave an evil smirk. Yang dashed to her, and gave a quick punch, but the little apprentice managed to deflect the punch, causing her to stumble back. Damien fired a torrent of flames from his Twin Dragon Fangs at Neo, who blocked the fire with her umbrella. After pushing away the fire, Damien quickly leapt to her and delivered an axe-kick, but the little girl was quick to react, and countered with a high kick to Damien's gut, causing him to crash into the wall.
"Damien!" Yang screamed.
"I'm fine-ugh!" Damien tried to assure, but held his stomach in pain, as he struggled to get back up.
Yang turned to face their attacker, who was smiling sadistically. Yang's eyes started glowing red with anger, as she dashed towards Neo, giving several swift punches and kicks. Neo was able to take advantage of Yang's rage, as she was able to successfully dodge or parry every single attack. Eventually, once Yang tired herself out, Neo kicked Yang to the same wall that Damien flew into.
Enraged by the fact that they were getting their butts handed to them, the two fighters readied their gauntlets and unleashed a heavy fire barrage at Neo. Neo dodged all the projectiles and tried to impale them with her umbrella. The two jumped to opposite sides, and dashed towards her from both sides. Unfortunately, the girl managed to block every single attack. Then, after pushing Yang back, she grabbed Damien's leg, and delivered several swift kicks, knocking him into several crates.
Yang's fury reached her limits, as she dashed towards Neo, her hair ablaze. She fired several shots from Ember Celica, and gave many powerful punches and kicks, but alas, the girl was simply too fast. After leaving herself open, Neo performed a backflip, and kicked Yang upwards, causing her head to hit the ceiling, and knocking her unconscious. Neo grinned in victory, while walking towards her.
She unveiled a hidden blade from her parasol, as she was prepared to finish Yang off. However, before that could happen, a small explosion came from the crate mess, as Damien got up, his hands and feet were coated in flames. He swiftly dashed between the two, prepared to defend Yang at all costs. He gave several fire-powered punches and kicks with Neo continuing to block them. However, the heat from Damien's attacks proved to be too much, as she saw her umbrella started to catch fire. While she was focusing on putting out the flames, Damien saw the opportunity and pushed Neo back, causing her back to slam on the wall behind her.
Neo got up, and gave an annoyed look to the angered crimson haired lad. Damien got into a fighting stance, and was ready for what she had planned. However, before the two could clash, a dark portal opened behind Damien, as a mysterious female swordfighter emerged.
Damien looked at the new challenger, and saw she had long black hair, a black-and-red outfit, and a Grimm mask that almost covered her entire face. He glared at the woman, as he thought she was part of the White Fang, but he turned to see that Neo was terrified at her presence too. The mysterious swordswoman dashed towards Neo, and slashed at her with her long katana. Neo barely dodged it as she tried to escape.
The masked woman sheathed her weapon as she made her way to the two brawlers. "Stay back!" Damien gritted angrily, as the swordswoman was unfazed by his threats. "You better not try anything to kill Yang, or so help me-"
However, his anger quickly faded when he saw Neo lunging towards the masked samurai, with her back completely turned. Sensing danger, he decided to push the woman out of harm's way, and completely blocked Neo's attack by creating a crimson force field around him. After seeing Damien and the swordswoman in her way, she decided to forfeit the battle and escape.
Damien sighed as he looked down on the ground. "Sorry about that. Are you all right?" He asked the swordswoman. After looking down, he noticed the samurai's mask lying on the ground, and he saw the woman hiding her face, wishing to keep her identity a secret. He picked up the mask, and handed it to the samurai, while covering his eyes. "Here. I know you like to keep your secrets, so I won't peek!"
The samurai quickly grabbed the mask, and put it back on. She opened a portal and was prepared to leave, but she was stopped when Damien called out to her.
"Wait!" Damien shouted, causing the samurai to turn and face him. "Would you please tell me who you are?" The masked samurai stared quietly towards him, before he sighed and crossed his arms. "I guess not. No matter, you saved both of us, so I can't call you an enemy. Whoever you are, I thank you!" He bowed to her.
"I didn't do it for you." The woman spoke through her mask, her voice made unrecognizable. "I did it for her!" She pointed towards the still unconscious Yang.
"I see." Damien simply muttered, as he made his way to check on her. He was happy to see she was just fine.
"You have strong feeling towards her?" The samurai asked, causing Damien to look up to see what she had said. "That girl, do you care for her?"
Damien was puzzled as to why she was asking him, but decided to answer back. "Yes. Yang means everything to me. I would gladly do whatever it takes to protect her, no matter what!"
"I see. Well then, make sure to guard her with your life!" She answered, before vanishing into the portal.
Yang awoke and saw the mysterious woman exiting the portal. She ten saw Damien holding her head up. "D-Damien?" She weakly stated.
Damien jerked his head around and saw Yang was alive and well. "Yang! I'm so glad you're okay!" He pulled her into a tight embrace, while Yang hugged back with a small smile of her face and her eyes slightly weary. "I'm so sorry. I don't know what I would have done if you…"
"Relax Damien! I'm not going anywhere." She assured him. "Besides, I'm alive, aren't I? Thanks to you… and that mysterious woman." She smiled.
"Yeah…" That was all Damien could say. "Anyways, we need to get out of here. Can you still fight?"
"You bet your ass I can!" Yang got up and gave two thumbs up. "What about you?"
"Damn right!" Damien pumped his fist, as they both proceeded deeper into the train.
Weiss and Gwen faced off against the White Fang Lieutenant, who readied his giant chainsaw-sword, as he growled menacingly through his mask. The two girls raised their weapons, ready for anything.
"Finally, I get to kill a Schnee…" He said sadistically.
"Over my dead body!" Gwen yelled back.
The Lieutenant charged directly at the girls, as Weiss created a large glyph in front of her, shielding them from his attacks. Weiss then slashed at him with Myrtenaster, pushing him back. After recovering, the angry Faunus charged back at them, but Gwen froze the ground he was running, causing him to lose his balance as he skidded towards the two. The two jumped out of the way, as the WF Lieutenant regained his balance.
Gwen detached her IceBorn bow into twin blades, and swiped at the Lieutenant. However, the Faunus was able to guard himself, and shoved Gwen into some crates. Weiss saw the burly man had let his guard down, and quickly dashed over to him, dealing several slashes before clashing weapons. But, the WF Lieutenant was much bigger than her, and shoved her into the same crates as Gwen.
The two girls used this opportunity for a swift attack. Weiss raised Myrtenaster and combine it with the Dust to create haste glyphs. While the heiress concentrated creating glyphs around her target, Gwen shot several ice arrows at the Lieutenant's feet, completely freezing his legs to the ground. Weiss then dashed and ricocheted off each glyph, dealing fast slashes to him, and knocking him down to the ground.
When Weiss leapt in for the finishing blow, the WF Lieutenant rolled backwards, and dodged her attack. "C'mere princess!" He growled as he grabbed her face, and brutally slammed her to the ground.
"Weiss!" Gwen shouted in fear for her friend. The Lieutenant picked her up and threw her up into the air, as he readied his chainsaw. But before he could do so, he was attacked by Gwen's ice elemental knight. "Stay away from her!" She shouted, with a venomous tone. She was angry for the giant brute's assault on Weiss, as she commanded her familiar to slash towards the Faunus. The Lieutenant continued to dodge all of its attacks, before managing to lay his weapon into it. However, that caused the ice elemental to explode, completely encasing him in ice.
After exhausting a percentage of her Aura for that desperation attack, Gwen ran over to the unconscious Weiss, and tries to awaken her. "Come on, Weiss. Please get up!"
"Ngh… my head…" Weiss wakes up, clutching her head. "Gwen?"
"Weiss! Thanks goodness you're okay!" The two girls hugged, as Gwen helped the heiress up. "The Lieutenant's going to break free soon! We need to escape now!" As Weiss nodded in agreement, the two exited out of their cabin.
Meanwhile, in the third cabin, Blake and Ryu were having an easier time against Torchwick, especially since the Dusts rounds that Weiss gave to Blake before really came in handy, as she combined them with her semblance to utilize her shadow clones with elemental powers. Blake created a fire clone which exploded once Roman made contact with it, shooting him into the air. Once he was airborne, Ryu leaps up and delivers some swift slashes back and forth.
After Roman fires a flare shot towards them, Blake creates an earth shadow clone, which takes the hit. Afterwards, Ryu fires a strong wind wave from his Yahto Blade, but Torchwick avoids it and tries to fight back. He tried to slam his weapon against Blake, but she managed to trap his weapon by creating an ice shadow clone. Finally, Ryu traps Torchwick in a tornado, while Blake performs a vertical slash towards him, knocking his weapon out of his hand, and pinning him to the ground. Torchwick tries to convice Blake to join him, but Blake unsurprisingly declines and knocks him unconscious, allowing the two of them to escape.
As for the battle on top of the train, Professor (Doctor) Oobleck had transformed his thermos into a flamethrower/club, and as Zwei curled up into a ball, he batted the dog towards the giant robots as a flaming projectile, knocking the first paladin off. Meanwhile, Ruby and Neos quickly slashed the second paladin apart. Then, Neos jumped onto the third paladin while charging up his Claws of Mjolnir, and short-circuited the robotic minion. Once it was out of commission, Neos leapt out of the way while Ruby fired several powerful shots from Crescent Rose alongside the professor, knocking it off the train as well. After dealing with them, Oobleck orders Ruby and Neos to run ahead, while the professor and Zwei deal with the rest.
After all eight students join up with each other, they see that the train is about to crash into a heavy duty wall. With no way to slow the train down, Weiss and Gwen combine their powers to form a giant ice shield around their teammates, as they brace for impact. Once the train crashes into the wall, a giant explosion tears open a giant hole, releasing a massive horde of Grimm, including a humongous King Taijitu. Teams RWBY and DRGN, plus Oobleck and Zwei awaken outside the subway, as they look in horror from the situation in front of them.
"This is bad!" Ryu stated. "I've never seen such a large amount of Grimm before."
"True." Damien nodded. "We're definitely going to need some back-up. Ruby, try and contact Team JNPR again!"
"Okay!" Ruby answered, as she dialed Jaune's scroll again.
"Hello?" Jaune drowsily replied.
"Jaune, it's terrible! Grimm are invading the city! We need your help!" Ruby explained, but she couldn't hear back from him. "Hello? HELLO!?" She saw the signal was too low, and her scroll had dropped the call. "No…"
"Don't worry. I'm sure Jaune must have heard you." Neos assured her. "Right now, we've got bigger problems!"
"Yeah. Like those invading Grimm!" Yang pointed out, as they saw the terrified civilians running for their lives. "Well, this is what we trained for!" She said with a determined face, as she readied Ember Celica.
"I'll be damned if I'm gonna let these creatures destroy the city!" Damien readied his Twin Dragon Fangs.
All the other huntsmen and huntresses readied themselves as they were prepared for the battle of their young lives. Damien, Yang, and Neos managed to take down a huge horde of beowolves, as well as combining their strength to overpower a giant Death Stalker. Ruby saw a Nevermore circling above her, but Neos shot it down by conjuring a large thunderbolt above it, allowing her to slice it in half with Crescent Rose. Weiss and Gwen saw a pair of Ursa about to lunge at them, but they quickly froze them, while Blake and Ryu slashed at them, completely destroying them.
As the battle digressed, everyone continued to battle, and slay the Grimm approaching, until they were confronted by the King Taijitu. However, before the twin serpent creature could attack, Nora fell straight from the sky, and bashed the giant creature with Magnhild, completely decimating it. The eight were happy to be reunited with Team JNPR.
"Hey! Perfect Timing!" Neos smirked as the other three caught up with her. "Now that you're here, this should be a snap!"
Jaune nodded as he searched for an opponent, only to be greeted by a giant Ursa behind him. However, he didn't back down, as he was able to stand his ground, and decapitate the Grimm beast.
Damien and Pyrrha smiled as his skills had definitely improved. "Well now, looks like your training really paid off. Not bad!" Damien complimented the humbled gladiator.
Soon after, they were joined up Sun and Neptune, as well as the Atlesian army led by General Ironwood, and eventually Professors Port and Goodwitch, and Team CFVY. Fox Alistair unleashed a deadly combo of attacks on a nearby Ursa, causing it to inflate and explode, sending spikes flying all around, while Yatsuhashi shielded Velvet from the barrage.
Coco walked towards Fox and patted him on the butt for a job-well-done, while approaching a large Beowolf. The creature roared at the fashionista, but she was clearly unamused, as she lowered her shades, and glared. "You just destroyed my favourite clothing store. Prepare to die." She stated, while transforming her handbag into a massive machine gun.
"Yikes. Note to self, do not mess with her clothing." Damien muttered to himself, while he saw Coco slaughtering the horde nearby her.
The battle easily turned towards the favour, as everyone disposed of all the remaining Grimm. However, as things were wrapping up, Damien looked towards the corner and saw Torchwick grinning evilly as he started to walk away.
"Hey, look over there!" Damien called towards his friends as he pointed towards Torchwick walking towards the fountain.
"Torchwick? What's he up to?" Ruby asked, as she glared towards the crime lord.
"I don't know, but I don't want to find out! He's not getting away!" Damien motioned, as Teams RWBY, JNPR, and DRGN ran after him.
After Torchwick reached the fountain in the centre of the city, he saw all twelve student surrounding him. "Oh dear, it looks like you've caught me red-handed!" He said sarcastically, as he put his hands up. As he looked upwards, he saw five helicopters above him. He grinned as he whipped out his cane gun, and shot a flare above.
"Oh crap. Everybody get back!" Damien shouted, as the teams backed off. The helicopters opened their cargo doors, as a giant Ursa Major, Nevermore, Boarbatusk, Death Stalker, and King Taijitu dropped in front of them. Everyone prepared for the attack, but what happened next is what no one was ever expecting.
Roman reached into his coat, and pulled out a remote-control detonator, as everyone looked on, surprised at what he was planning. With an evil grin, he pressed the detonator, as the five different Grimm exploded into dark matter. As Torchwick quickly ran away, the three teams looked on in horror as the million bits of dark matter combined together into a giant pile, as a blast of purple light shined from the mass. After the light died down, everyone was too shocked to say anything about what they saw.
Weiss, Gwen, and Pyrrha put their hands over their mouths in terror. Ryu, Ren, and Neos all clenched their fists as they watched, with a concerned look. Blake, Yang, Jaune, and Nora looked on, mouths agape. Ruby and Damien tried to stay strong, but even they were at a loss for words, as they were scared of the impending disaster.
"No…. This can't be!" Damien shouted.
"W-What's happening?!" Ruby screamed, eyes filled with terror.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's bad! IT'S VERY BAD!" That was all Damien could answer.
Meanwhile, in the city, everyone else looked towards the fountain and saw what was going on. General Ironwood, the professors, and the other students were shocked from the results. Even Ozpin, who was watching the events unfold from his monitor, was speechless.
Standing in front of Teams RWBY, JNPR, and DRGN, was a titanic Grimm-like abomination, bigger than anything that they have faced up until now. This Grimm was a fusion from all five Grimm creatures; it had the body and head of the Ursa Major, the heads and necks of the King Taijitu extending from its shoulders, the wings from the Nevermore on its back, the scorpion tail and stinger from the Death Stalker, and the face and tusks from the Boarbatusk sticking out from his stomach. The Grimm abomination unleashed a giant roar, which shook the entire ground around it, as everyone tried to stay their ground and struggled being pushed back. Yang did mention before that they were training for this, but none of them were prepared for what lurked ahead!
There you go, that's the huge twist. Teams RWBY, JNPR, and DRGN face off against a huge Fusion-Like Grimm; which I will hereby classify as "Grimmzodia!" (Formerly Grimmzilla, but Grimmzodia sounds far better). By the way, as I pointed out several chapters ago, Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald will not be appearing in this story. Anyways, tune in next time for the exciting conclusion.
