I do not own KHR or RWBY. Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Screams of terror filled the air as humans and Faunus ran for their lives.
Weiss and Blake were in the center of the chaos. Gunfire from Atlesian androids peppered the monsters of darkness with gunfire, either missing or their shots completely ineffective against thick hides. Grimm rampaging through the festival ground right around Beacon and Vale. Fire burst out from the many places of destroyed booths and fallen androids that lost their lives due to such violence.
"I don't believe this." Weiss said, nearly speechless as she turned her head towards Blake. Standing in the middle of this entire scenario was something she never would have imagined to live through in the first place. Looking around worryingly, she noticed that Blake had her scroll out and was talking to Yang who was still within the school building. But knowing her, the blonde would be running out to try and defend her Kingdom. "This can't be happening." She then looked down as she suddenly remembered a life that was lost on live TV. "Penny…"
"I'm heading to the docks in the schoolyard!" Yang's voice came from Blake communicating device. "White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!"
Such information immediately gained the attention of Blake as she gripped her scroll tightly with shock. Even Weiss' eyes were wide. "The White Fang is here?!" The cat-Faunus exclaimed, wanting more information. But as soon as she asked that, the connection went dead. "Weiss, what are we going to do?" She looked towards the heiress.
Weiss however was doing her best to keep calm in this type of situation. Taking quick yet deep breaths, she looked back at Blake. Things would have been so much easier if Tsuna were around so that she would be able to focus on one objective while the brunette would easily carry out another task that could help them.
Looking over to Blake, Weiss pulled out her scroll and typed in a couple of keys. "We're going to the school… and we're going to do what we trained for."
Only two seconds passed when a locker came careening from the sky and opened to present Weiss weapon inside.

It was not only chaotic down on the ground.
Up in the sky, A giant Nevermore was doing its best to try and break into the stadium where people were trying to spectate the fights live. Now, everyone was running for their lives in favor of living. The Grimm proved to be persistent though, constantly pecking at the barrier that protected the stadium from the outer hazards that threatened to get in.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune cried out, trying to get the red-heads attention. "That thing's going to break in! You have to move!"
But no matter how loud he was, Pyrrha didn't respond. She was still in complete shock at the sudden fact that she had just ripped Penny to shreds. There was no blood, proving the girl to be an android of sorts. But it occurred to her. What could have happened if she was real? Flesh, organs, blood that human and Faunus both had? The thoughts of gore got to her as she fell to her knees, nearly vomiting at the images that passed through her brain.
Jaune however continued to yell frantically, hoping his voice would reach his girlfriend's ears. Looking up, the giant Nevermore was almost done damaging the barrier enough to get in and find some prey. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Leaping over the edge of the fence that separated the spectators from the fighters, the blonde began to run at a fast pace towards the girl who still didn't move from her spot. "Pyrrha please snap out of it!"
The Nevermore soon broke right through though. The impact it created when landing on the floor was followed by a giant shockwave of force that was strong enough to blow both the red-head and blonde back. With such movement, the both of them crashed into each other. The red-head however couldn't move as she could only stare at the Grimm with shock.
Jaune was more active though, scrambling to his feet as he saw one of the blades that Penny used at his feet. Snatching the weapon, he threw the blade towards the monster. Hoping to buy them some time that way, Jaune grabbed Pyrrha's hand and began dragging her away from the Grimm. While doing that, he was furiously tapping icons onto his scroll.
The attack he had delivered though was not enough. It just happened to piss the Grimm off even further. Screeching, it opened its wings to try and attack the duo trying to get away. It never got the opportunity though as there was a sudden grey blur landing painfully on its wing with tremendous force. The sudden projectile was soon followed by several more, all of them planting themselves into the Nevermore's back.
Turning around, Jaune saw that the Grimm was pinned down by several lockers that belonged to Beacon Academy. If he could be honest, he thought that it was only him who had such an idea. But that didn't matter. Looking back at Pyrrha, he suddenly saw that she was crying. "Pyrrha, w-what wrong?!" He bent his knees to get to her fallen level.
"It's… it's my fault…" Pyrrha found words yet wept. "I… I killed somebody… I didn't mean to! But I… I saw…"
"No, it's not your fault." Jaune answered, placing his palms under her chin and raising her face so they could look into each others eyes. "Whoever was on the microphone, they're the ones that did this. And we have to make sure they don't take anyone else."
Reaching his hands out, he looked down to see Pyrrha's shield and blade were scattered yet nearby. Grabbing them with ease, he held them up so he could hand them to her. A determined look was on his face, clearly ready to protect and do what was right. Staring towards Jaune, Pyrrha slowly reached her hands out, taking her weapons slowly. Soon enough though, her expression began to match the blonde's.
Quickly grabbing his shield and sword, Jaune began to run out of the stadium with Pyrrha. They were one of the last two to start leaving the stadium. Running through the halls, they both eventually made it to the air docks. Seeing everybody shuffling into one of the airships to get to the ground, the blonde furiously looked around with his girlfriend until his eyes saw a group of people.
"Hayato! Lambo! Takeshi! Chrome!" He shouted loudly as he began to run towards the group he had just called out.
The team from Vongola managed to hear Jaune's voice despite the amount of fighting that they were doing. Back to back, Gokudera and Yamamoto were almost in perfect sync when battling with one another. Being used to each other despite their clashing personalities outside of a fight made their synergy reach amazing levels. Chrome was ducking in and out of the combat, taking her time to stab a Grimm then and again. Disappearing and reappearing, she would be there for a second before Mukuro would show up and then turn back to Chrome.
"Jau-nii!" Lambo shouted back loudly as he released several bolts of Lightning flames outwards and ran towards the blonde.
"Guys, what's going on?!" Jaune questioned as they all gathered together due to being free from the battle temporarily.
"Grimm are crawling all over the city, and the White Fang has invaded Beacon!" Gokudera quickly listed off, grinding his teeth as he was clearly pissed off at the moment.
Jaune was not really used to being a leader before. Even when he was notified that he was going to be the Tenth boss of the Vongola Famiglia, an organization that he never knew of in a place he never would expect to travel to. But now, after a few months of being in such a position with his own small team, he had a small feeling of leadership grow within.
"We have to get down to the ground." Jaune stated, getting several nods from everybody surrounding him. "I need you guys to help evacuate everybody to the ground and the airship docks. Make sure that you keep as many people alive as possible. I'll be at Beacon trying to help any one else who could have been lieft behind. Ryohei and Kyoya are probably already down there killing Grimm. But I still need to make sure that the situation is okay."
"You got it, Jaune." Yamamoto nodded his head, a look that mean that he was serious being worn on his face. "Keep you scroll on. We want to make sure that we can get into contact with you just in case things to bad."
Jaune nodded back. "Come on! Let's go!"
Their moment was ruined when one of the airships from the sky suddenly exploded and began plummeting to the ground.

Running through the school yard, Weiss and Blake were within a few meters of some Atlesian robots when they suddenly stopped with caution.
Rather than shooting the Grimm, the androids did not move. It was strange since these were the first ones to do such. But then Blake suddenly tackled Weiss to the ground as soon as the properties of Atlas began to openly fire towards the two huntresses-in-training.
Soon being surrounded, Weiss and Blake got off the ground. Knowing that they would have to fight, the both of them had their weapons out.
As Blake dived through the gaps horizontally, Weiss took the more vertical route. Leaping into the air, she kicked off a glyph and ended up further along the walkway where even more Atlesian androids seemed to be pointing their guns at her.
The sound weapons firing filled the air along with bright flashing lights of round flying out of the gun barrels. But no matter the amount or speed, Weiss was easily making her way past the mechanical soldiers. Row by row, she would disappear and show up again second after second. With each movement, she destroyed nearly several units at once. Her arm was slightly tired from cutting through wires and metal, but her training was more than enough to keep her going.
Landing on the ground after jumping into the air, she felt a back press against her own. Looking over her shoulder, Blake was the one behind her as they both suddenly saw another airship come careening down from the sky only for Grimm to jump right out from the flying vehicle.
Looking towards each other, Weiss knew that Blake wanted to go where the White Fang was attacking people. She didn't even want to convince the cat-Faunus otherwise. With a nod of her head ad a smile, Weiss let her know her decision. "Be safe."
Seeing Blake nod as well, the both of them ran their separate ways. For Weiss, it was where the Atlesian mechs were fighting.

Cinder smiled at the sight of all the destruction and despair that she was witnessing.
Screeches of the Grimm played like a heavenly orchestra. Smoke rising from fires was a sight to behold. Screams of the people were the choir. Grimm flying around were the actors in the play she was enjoying. The darkness of the night provided the perfect lighting and setting. A show, it what the entire scene reminded her of. And it was most fascinating. She was not even at the climax and yet her heart was pumping with excitement.
"Horrendous." She breathed with a devilish smile and pleased look. "But that's what makes it so beautiful." With a scroll in her hand, she was recording all she could on top of one of the roofs that was stationed in Vale. The Atlesian knights were attacking people left and right with the computer virus she had managed to install first into the CCT before it passed onto many other devices that she could end up using to her advantage.
Her free hand though was petting the top of a familiar brunette as if he were a domesticated animal. Tsuna, still lifeless, had his continued dead look in his eye. His mouth was gaped open slightly. Sitting on the roof, his head and body leaned against Cinder's leg. Looking up, he soon saw that Cinder was staring back at him.
Beckoning him to stand back up, Cinder saw the brunette do so obediently. Tickling his chin, Cinder bent forward and kissed Tsuna directly on the lips. She tasted not only him, but also remains of her own saliva and other fluids that belonged to her. Everything within the boy, it was hers.
Breaking apart, there was a sudden rumbling that shook the very Earth underneath them. Due to his body even weaker than before, Tsuna fell down. Cinder however smirked rather than having a worried expression.
Keeping her scroll rolling, broadcasting Atlesian knights 'attacking' civilians, her eyes drifted over towards Mountain Glenn. Despite her distance, she could make out the large rock crumbling. Cracks were being made within the stone. But then within seconds, something came bursting out from the mountain.
It was an enormous winged creature, with large red bat-like wings, a pair of legs and a tail. The red membrane of the wings were translucent. It had rough, black skin, with white bone-like spines along its body, including an external skull, rib cage and rows of dorsal spikes. It also had three bony spikes on its tail and large claws on its hind legs. The skull had a pair of large prominent horns and six yellow-red eyes. Its jaw had teeth extending down along the creature's neck, beyond its skull.
Roaring, it began to fly down towards Vale where so much chaos and carnage was happening. It was attracted like a moth to a flame. Screeching loudly, black orbs began shedding off of its body. Like rain, it fell to the ground. Like water, it became a puddle when landing. Lie sorcery, such dark splotches slowly turned into Grimm.
As Cinder kept her eyes in marvel, Tsuna's eyes drifted after the monster as well. Craning his head around, his eyes suddenly noticed one person.
A girl in white furiously fighting for her life against monster and machine at the same time. Clearly it was for survival. His emotionless eyes twitched just a little bit. Slowly getting back onto his feet, he trudged away from Cinder's side.
Such actions did not go unnoticed as she turned her head. "You want a part in the play as well?" She asked, strutting up towards the male. Amber eyes looked at empty pools of brown which were Tsuna's eyes. "Don't be gone for too long." She tapped his nose.
Without any response, Tsuna walked to the edge of the roof before using his Sky flames to fly away.
Looking back, Cinder continued to observe, broadcast, and enjoy the destruction and chaos. She saw it all. Professors and students fighting bravely for their Kingdom in complete futility. As Atlesian soldiers continued to fight on, they were becoming overrun by Grimm.
But one thing caught her eye.
She spotted the Headmaster of Beacon himself alongside Pyrrha Nikos. But then there was also a blonde boy with them as the three were running towards the CCT tower where Ozpin's office was. Setting up the scroll she had so that it would still record and present what was happening in Vale, she ran alog the roofs, making sure to not be spotted by anybody.
The closer she got to the CCT tower, she felt something. It was an emptiness. It burned… like hunger…
The Fall Maiden was close.

Weiss kept her focus and stamina up as she mercilessly cut through the Grimm that were foolish enough to approach her. The waves of precision she presented was more than enough to murder her competition.
Stabbing one last Grimm, her eyes surveyed the setting. But her eyes fell upon one bit.
Glancing higher, she saw a streak of orange soaring through the sky. Gasping quietly, she recognized that sort of fire anywhere. Tsuna always had that sort of flame on his person at all times if combat were to be taken seriously or used for a method of fast transportation.
But what was he doing back here? Did he hear about the fighting here in Vale and come back?
Without even realizing it, she started running so that she could get closer towards the brunette who was flying above the entire scene that she was living through. While making her way closer and closer to him, she began to wonder.
What should she say? What should she do? It was her fault that he left in the first place. Did that mean Tsuna was going to hold bitter feelings towards her? What… actually was going to happen- No… Not right now. She had to apologize. That was one of the first things that had to happen. She had to say sorry for assuming such things. Emerald was right, Tsuna would never be that kind of person.
Jealousy was a greed-eyed monster after all.
Slowing down her pace, she breathed as Tsuna began to descend to the ground. "Tsunayoshi!" She shouted, starting to run again towards the brunette. "Tsunayoshi… I'm sor-!"
She couldn't finish her sentence as Tsuna punched her face.
No flames please.
