Hello everyone! Welcome to chapter 28! This chapter is pretty much the set up for the numerous fight's that are about to happen. thank you again for all the support! Enjoy :)
Non Pov- After the arena monitor turned off the group looked up to see a swarm of flying grimm circling around the group. "Griffon's!" Ren yelled
Neptune shook in a bit in fear. "Uhh anybody got a plan of attack?"
A griffon swooped down towards Ruby but before Ruby could counter attack it was shot out of the air and it cried out in pain as it crashed on the side of the arena dead. The group looked over to see Port and Oobleck with their weapons ready. "Students! I think it would be best for you to leave." Port said to the group.
Chloe shook her head. "But we can hel"
Oobleck interrupted. "Miss Price. This day will surely go down in Remnant's history. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it."
The group nodded and Ruby yelled. "Lets go!"
The group followed after the little red leader out of the arena.
Oobleck and Port pressed their backs against each other with their weapons ready. "Haha! One final match, Barty! Place your bets!" Port said as the griffons surrounded them from above.
When the group made it to the docks they just witnessed General Ironwood slaying an alpha Beowolf. He turned to the group as Ruby asked. "What's going on!?"
Ironwood grunted and replied. "Grimm are crawling all over the city. The White Fang's invaded Beacon, and to make matters worse, some... vagabond has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm..." Ironwood is interrupted by a sneak attack from a Creep, He easily pulled out his pistol shooting it in the head killing it. "...going to take it back.
Ironwood headed for his private shuttle but stopped as Jaune asked. "Then..What should we do?"
Ironwood turned around and answered. "You have two choices. Defend your Kingdom and your school... or save yourselves. No one will fault you if you leave." Ironwood then proceeds to climb up on the drop ship in front of him and the shuttle slowly takes off heading for the rouge ship.
When he the shuttle left the group all looked at each other and they all knew what was going through everyone else's head. We're going to fight.
"We can take a ship to Beacon!" Coco suggested. They all nodded in agreement and started boarding.
Meanwhile back on the rouge ship- Roman was pushing buttons and chuckling to himself. "Ohh what does this button do?" He asked himself. He pushed it and a loud humm was heard. "Ohhh fun...How about this one?" He pushed another button and as soon as he did a message popped up on the screen saying that the mech's on board were dropped. "Oops."
Rachel slapped him upside the head. "Stop dicking around and follow through with the plan already!" She yelled in anger.
Roman groaned in annoyance. "Fine fine sheesh. Can't have any fun around you can I?" Roman snapped his fingers a few times then Neo walked up to Roman handing him her scroll. "Thank you Neo." He inserted the scroll into the console. "Now this one is going to be fun!"
Meanwhile back at the city of Vale- Qrow, Glynda, and a squadron of atlas robots were fighting off Grimm in the streets as a few civilians ran past them. But all of a sudden their blue visors turned red and turned around aiming their weapons at the two hunter's.
Both Qrow and Glynda gasped. "What!?" Glynda yelled in disbelief.
Back at Beacon's courtyard- Weiss and Blake were making their way towards the center of the school when the atlas robots turned to them and started firing at them. "Look out!" Blake warned. They easily evaded the gunfire then they took out their weapons as the robots surrounded them.
"What's going on!" Weiss yelled in confusion.
Meanwhile on Ironwoods shuttle- The robots activated behind him as he piloted the shuttle. He turned around only to see the robot's aiming their weapons at him. "No!"
Then they fired.
From the back of the air bus carrying Ruby's group. They watched in horror as the General's shuttle caught on fire and started crashing towards the ground. "What are you doing!?' Jaune yelled at Ruby
Ruby suddenly jumped out of the back and started falling back down towards the arena's docks. She used her semblance while falling to cushion her landing and headed for the arena.
Chloe clenched her fists then turned towards Penny. "Penny...I love you." Before Penny could reply Chloe pulled her in for a kiss then let her go. Chloe stood at the edge of the shuttle drop when Coco grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing!?" She asked.
Chloe replied. "Ruby is going to need help. The rest of you need to help defend Beacon."
Coco shook her head. "No! You are staying with the team! That's an order!"
Chloe smiled sadly at her. "Sorry boss...That's one order I can't follow..I'll make it back I promise."
Coco slowly and reluctantly let go of Chloe's arm. "You..better."
Chloe smiled and nodded. She looked over at penny and her other friends. "See you all after we win this."
They all smiled and Nora yelled. "Yeah! We are going to kick some butt!"
Chloe gave them a goodbye salute as Penny gave her a thumbs up and she jumped out of the shuttle heading towards the docks. When she got closer to the ground she pulled her weopn out with the barrel aimed at the ground and fired slowing her momentum and landed hard but manageable. She quickly followed after Ruby.
When she got to the arena she saw Ruby hopping on one of the rocket lockers. 'Wait!" Chloe yelled.
Ruby turned around startled. "What are you doing here?"
Chloe chuckled as she hopped on next to Ruby. "Come on we're in this together Ruby! Beside's Weiss would be pretty upset if anything happened to you." Chloe teased.
Ruby smiled and punched in the coordinates and the locker took off heading for the rouge ship.
Once the locker landed on the deck with a loud boom. Roman turned to Neo and said. "Go see what that was will you?"
Neo nodded and headed for the main deck.
Rachel crossed her arms as Neo left and Roman looking over the control panel. "We're almost done here."
Meanwhile back with Blake and Weiss- Weiss and Blake just finished finished fending off the atlas robot's and a group of White Fang soldiers. They both turned to see an Atlas paladin attacking atlas soldeirs. But before they could go over and help they looked up to see a shuttle about to crash land. But just before it crashed an alpha Beowulf jumped out and headed inward towards the school.
Weiss and Blake looked at each other and nodded. "Be safe." Weiss told Blake.
Blake smiled a bit. "You too." Then they both went their separate ways. Weiss going after the paladin mech and Blake after the grimm.
Blake followed the grimm to the school's dining hall and looked around for it till she heard a cry. "Please dont! Ahhh!"
Blake looked over and her eye's went wide with complete fear and shock. She shook her head slowly as she saw a familiar face pull they're sword out of an atlas soldier. "No..No..Adam."
Adam turned around and grinned "Hello my darling. Miss me?"
Jaune's group landed a while ago and were fighting off grimm and mechs on the school grounds. Jaune was slashing at an Ursa, while Neon roller blades away from a Boarbatusk. Coco opens fire on a Griffon, while Arslan is fighting an alpha Ursa in hand to hand combat before it runs off to attack Nora, who fires at it with her grenade launcher. Ren is seen firing his guns at a retreating Beowolf before it drops dead.
"There's to many of them!" Flynt yelled as he kicked a creep away and played his weapon at the target.
"And these damn robot's don't make things easier either!" Coco yelled as she shredded through a small group of atlas robots with her mini gun with Velvet standing behind her.
Jaune just got done cutting down another Ursa. "We can't give up! We have to keep fighting!"
Penny just sliced a beowolf in two. "To the bitter end!"
Meanwhile on top of a building over looking the battlefield- Cinder was watching her plan unfold before her. Grimm were swarming Beacon and the streets of Vale. The White Fang and Atlas mechs just added to the fun. "It's beautiful." Cinder commented...When she didn't get a reply she continued. "Are you recording this?...Emerald!"
Emerald was sitting beside her. She was huddled in a ball crying. "Mer...Mercury..Mercury." She sobbed. The image of finding Mercury laying on the ground lifeless was still fresh in her mind.
Cinder growled in frustration and pulled out her scroll. "Fine I'll do it myself!" She held the scroll up and started broadcasting the events in front of her. "If he was killed by a complete armature then he was of no use anymore. This is why you don't get attached Emerald. It's a weakness. But now it can be strength. Revenge is a great motivator."
Emerald didn't reply as the ground started to shake. "Now watch this. This will be the beginning of your revenge."
Out in the distance a mountain in the middle of the Emerald forest started to rumble and slowly break apart then the top exploded. A roare could be heard as a giant grimm dragon flew out of the mountain top and headed for the city and school.
Ozpin watched in horror from his office window as the dragon was heading for the school. And he clenched his cane as he saw black blobs fall from it and land in the city as it flew over head. The black blobs transformed into various types of grimm and started rampaging in the city. He grunted and headed for the elevator. "It's time. If we don't do this now. We will all die."
Meanwhile back with Jaune's group- Team SSSN, CFVE and JNPR were lined up side by side getting ready to take on the new wave of grimm the dragon spawned. SSSN and CFVE charged at the incoming enimes. But before JNPR followed after them Pyrrah stopped and looked over to see Ozpin. They shared a look and Ozpin gave a nod. She nodded back and ran towards him.
"Wait where is she going!?" Nora asked Jaune as Pyrrah took off.
Jaune ran after her. "I don't know but i'm going to find out! You two keep helping with the fight!" He ordered.
Ren and Nora nodded and then charged at the incoming grimm.
Cinder noticed Ozpin running into the tower with two students behind him. She narrowed her visible eye then grinned. "I have to go finish the plan..You do what you want." Cinder said to a sobbing Emerald and jumped off the building leaving the green haired girl alone.
After a few more sobs she gritted her teeth and her eyes showed nothing but pure hatred. "I'll kill her...I'll kill them all for what they did."
Chloe and Ruby fought off a couple of Griffons that were swarming the sky when they heard a click. They turned to see Neo holding a scroll winking at them. Chloe growled. "You again."
Ruby and Chloe both got into battle positions.
Inside the control room Roman felt his scroll buzz. When he opened up his message it read.
Neo-Guess Who? Next to the message was a picture of Chloe and Ruby.
Roman growled in frustration. "You can NOT be serious!"
Rachel smirked. "Whats wrong Roman? Woman trouble? That's not new."
Roman walked past her grabbing his cane. "Are you going to mock me or are you actually going to help out for once?" He asked sarcastically.
Rachel growled in anger and followed after him. "Sorry Chloe. This isn't personal." Three blades shot out of the top of her glove as she headed for the deck.
And that's that! The next fight is going to be an interesting one. How will Chloe fair fighting Rachel? Well guess we'll have to find out. See you all in the next chapter and have a nice day :) P.s. I finally figured out a good shipping name for Penny and Chloe. -Nuts and Punks- I know it's not the greatest but it's the best I could figure out. If anyone else has a better name feel free to PM me your suggestion. Thank you :)
