Author: I've been challenged... I accept. Knight 7572 gave me the challenge of finishing a certain ark of my story in 10 chapters or less, so I also added my own twist, I can only have 2,600 words per chapter. The challenge begins this chapter.
Jack: okkk, so the breach, how's that gonna go?
Author: well but not well. Anyways ON WITH THE SHOW
Jack POV
I have fought alot of Grimm, if the amount I have to deal in my dreams is any indication, so fighting a big pack like the one that's was flooding through the breach in the wall is not that frightening.
"Team JAIL! Slaughter the Grimm, don't let them through!" I ordered as I drew Havoc. I started to think about Blood Throne and other people who commuted similar crimes. My blood started to boil with anger and the Grimm focused on me.
The sound of automatic fire started to fill my ears as Al started to fire bank. Iris was jumping around either smashing Grimm into the ground or blasting them with her shot gun/bo staff. Lily was sniping from a high point.
I swung at the air as there was a line of Grimm in front of me, I pulled the trigger and a hail of gunfire struck the Grimm, killing them. The alarm blaring in the background only gave more reasons to fight. I locked eyes with a king Tijitu. I charged through the seeming endless horde of Grimm.
Through the corner of my eyes I saw Ruby and her team join in the fight. I refocused on the King tiJiu as it dived at me. I jumped into its head. I ran down the Grimm holding the trigger. It hissed in pain as I ran down. Jumped from the tail and reloaded in mid air and landed on a Beowulf. The TiJiu lunged at me again, I rolled to the side holding Havoc. It cut along the side.
As the cut was nearing the tail, i started to asorb its essence. The tithe started to slow down in its movement. The air around my body darkened.
Al's POV
It was general panic as civilians screamed they're heads off as they ran. They better be glad that we taking the attention away from them. A idea sprung into my head.
I switched mags and started to ice the ground. "The forest?" Iris asked as finished citing the primiter of the breach.
"Yea, I'm not sliding in my butt this time." I said changing mags. She laughed and then slammed her bo staff into the eye socket of a Grimm.
A orange haired girl jumped over us and smashed the King titju killing it. "Here comes the calvary" I muttered.
A hail of gun fire came from behind at really fast rate. A girl with a Gatling gun walked as she kept her finger on the trigger, mowing down Grimm. We were then joined some teachers who helped push back the Grimm.
After clearing a lot Grimm Ms. Goodwitch collapsed the tunnel. I lowered bank and let a relived sigh. No more Grimm, no more more problems. I thought too soon.
Jack came walking out pretty pissed, if the deep scowl on his face was indicatetion. He was holding a red arm band in his left hand and Creasent Rose in scythe mode in his right.
"Boss, what's up? Where Ruby?" I asked worriedly.
"Blood Throne kidnaped her during the breach, I don't know how but they did." Jack said angerly.
"Oh, that's bad." I said scratching the back of my head.
"It's worse than you think." Jack said storming off to Beacon, his arua making him look extremely dangerous, not that he doesn't look dangerous already. What kinda leader did end up with.
Third Person POV
Jack walked past people who were just in a panic due to the breach. A female reporter ran up to the angry Darkblood. "Escuse me sir, but weren't one you one the people at the site of the breach?" She asked. Jack was about to respond angerly when he calmed down.
"Yes, I am Jack Erebus, leader of team JAIL, the first hunter team to respond." Jack explained.
"Do you know what caused the breach?" The reporter asked.
"No, but there are more distressing matters since the breach has been closed." Jack stated with a hint of anger.
"Like what?" The reporter asked.
"A fellow hunteress in training, Ruby Rose has been kidnaped by a criminal organization that is not White Fang." Jack said.
"That is troubling but why do you say it's not White Fang?" The reporter asked.
"That will not be disclosed, All what I will say is that this group will pay in Blood." Jack said before starting for Beacon.
Some time later.
Jack tossed the armband onto Ozpin's desk. Ironwood and Ozpin were in the room as well.
"We need to find Ruby, we also might want to stall the Vytal festival." Jack suggested.
Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "Why stall the festival?"
"One, to prevent the intruders taking avantage of the chaos. Two, just in case the rescue effort fails and blood Throne succeds, if that happens, pray to which ever god you believe in and have eveyone run." Jack stated.
"Why would we do that." Ironwood asked.
"If the legends are true and Blood Throne succeds in they're little gamble, Ruby would be able to kill a person, no matter who they are with just a look." Jack said gravely. He then started to stare out the window.
In a secret location
"So this the Ruby Rose that the original Darkblood is protective of." A Blood Throne scientist commented.
"She's pyschally healthy, no alregies. She's prefectly healthy specamine, though she has to go through the conditioning." A second scientist commented.
"Let's hope the Orginal Dar- you know what? I'm gonna call him Reaper instead. Anyways let's hope Reaper doesn't find us any time soon." The first scientist said.
"Ha, if he did come, he'll be in for a surprise." The second
Sort's POV
"DAMMIT XORC!" I yelled as I punched the wall. I took a breath and focused. This is definitely should have not happened buttont Xorc like a good meddler should, meddled in something that would change the time line drastically. Fine, he wants play hard ball, I'll happily ablige.
I dropped my self into the neither, the mother of all highways. I walked myself to though a portal, one of many that lined the walls of the cold and empty highway.
I appeared right in front the door that Summer lived in for the time being. I walked and summer was staring some mash potatoes, probably bored out of her mind.
"Morning Sort." Summer greeted. It's actually 4 pm but this area is designed to keep in sync with the occupants home time zone so they won't have to adjust when they go home.
"It's time for you to go home." I said. Summer immediately perked up with a smile. "It won't be happy reunion however, Ruby was kidnaped and was given to Blood Throne." I stated with indifference, like a general telling his men the odds.
"Who would do such a thing?" Summer asked. Her anger was very evident. Good, angry mothers were the best at saving their children.
"Don't worry about who have Ruby to Blood Throne, I will deal with them personally. Worry who has Ruby at the moment." I said.
Summer nodded. "Okay." She said.
I put my hand on her shoulder. "When your ready, close your eyes."
Jack's POV
I was twirling one my throwing knifes. How the hell did I let Ruby get kidnapped?
Flashback
I waved at Nora as she got up from killing the King titju. Jaune and Prryha where fighting a group of beowulfs. Ren shot a Ursa in the head.
I found that Yang and Blake were working together, taking down a nevermore. Weiss was icying some Grimm. I couldn't see Ruby anywhere. As the battle wound down I started to get reallly worried.
I saw Creasent Rose laying on the ground. I ran over. Beside was a dirty Blood Throne armband. Ruby's sent ended right here as well. A little ways away was a shattered scroll. Anger flooded my thoughts
End flashback
I sheathed the throwing blade and transformed into Ovar. I need to get myself lost.
I flew through the air until I reached Cite's penthouse. I landed on the sill and pecked on the window. Inside Cite was unconscious, his head was on Violets lap. Violet looked at me and set Cite's head on the couch she was sitting on.
"That was bold, revealing information to a reporter like that." Violet commented as she opened the window.
"I'm not in the right state of mind right now, even more so in a few." I said as I changed back.
"Cite is monitoring foarems and social sites. Nothing to bad so far." Violet said. I opened the wine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of wine. "Your little girlfriend's kidnapping is weighing on you, isn't it?" Violet asked.
I pulled out three wine glasses. "How is not? Not only is she my responsibility but I love her dammit." I said with a bit of anger. I also pulled out the
"A little bit of time can change a lot." Cite said waking up.
"You know it best." I said opening the bottle.
"Thatch has a lead but it'll take time." Cite said.
I poured some wine into all three wine glasses. "We have week at most. Any longer and we will lose Ruby." I stated.
"I think we need to pull out Thatch." Cite stated as I handed a glass to him.
"Agreed." I said taking a sip of my own wine.
"Jack, rest for now, we will get Ruby back." Cite promised. I looked at the wine in my hand and my grip on glass tightened. I won't Ruby or anyone else suffer by the hand of Blood Throne if I can do anything about it.
Third Person POV
"Ruby Rose has been delivered to us by a friend." Verdel announced.
"Good, inject her as soon as possible. How is the research come along?" Stalin asked.
A man in a lab coat stood up. "Its has nearly reach perfection, however true Darkbloods still require a maiden to balance the essence." He said.
Stalin nodded. "It's expected Carl, but I want you to start the process." He ordered.
Carl nodded. "I'll start ASAP sir." He said.
Stalin leaned back in his chair. "I'll finally get rid you Erebus, five years you've been a pain, buts it's worth it. Too see you fall Erebus would set the stage for Blood Throne to get rid of great menace." He muttered.
Cite's POV
I looked amused at a passed out Jack. He drank himself until he became drunk. Jack has amazing self control even drunk even though his sense of direction is shot.
"He's got it bad doesn't he?" Violet asked.
"Yep, even when the girl he loves has the ability to kill him with just a glance, he'll still come blade in hand." I said with a chuckle.
Violet smiled then frowned somewhat. "So we're increasing security." She stated.
I nodded. "Blood Throne has crossed the line, White Fang and the infiltrators are also big problems." I stated.
Al's POV
"Team RWBY has the worst of luck." I stated.
"How so?" Iris asked reading a magazine.
"Team RWBY had to be rescued several times already, and Ruby has been kidnapped, wouldn't be surprised if when they try to save the world, they're gonna be need to be saved." I commented.
"Be nice Al, they're new to all this, plus they've haven't been trained to the level we were. Plus whoever kidnapped Ruby was professional, except for the arm band bit." Iris chastised.
"So, how hard do you think Boss is gona train us?" I asked.
"Probably to our limits without breaking anything, also probably with his coat off." Iris said, she shivered when she finished the sentence. I did the same. Getting punched at the speeds Jack can run with the coat off is NOT fun.
