As I was handling work up above, the guys quickly ran to the aid of the girls below. Draco quickly burst through a window just before Weiss was slashed with the chainsaw and knocked back into him. "Oh, no! Weiss! NOOOOOOOO!" Draco shouted, raising his fists in the air as he shouted, before looking back down at her, trying to figure out what to do. "Okay! Uh... Pulse check (he grabs her wrist), neck check (he puts two fingers on her neck for the pulse there), tummy check (he puts both hands on her stomach) Boobs check (he grabs her boobs)! She's alive! She's alive!" He said happily, looking at the 4th wall.
"What is the meaning of this!?" The soldier asked.
"YOU! This is YOUR FAULT!" Draco said, readying his claws and rushing her.

He rushed in, locking the chainsaw between the claws on his right hand and going to town on the guy's exposed torso with his left. "Kidney, stomach, stomach, other kidney, spleen, large intestine, small intestine, lung, heart, other lung, gall bladder, regular bladder, prostate! None of those things were important, right?" He asked after stabbing all the mentioned organs, looking up at the soldier, whose eyes were now practically popping out of his mask. With a small groan, he fell back and collapsed on the ground. "Well, I think I handled that pretty well, huh?" He asked the 4th wall, before turning back to Weiss as she groaned. "Weiss!" He said, running to her side and holding her upper body off the ground. "Are you okay?" He asked.
She looked up at him and as soon as her vision was no longer blurry, she punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. "That was for groping me!" She snapped.
"Oh, it was worth it!" He said groggily, holding his masked jaw.
With Yang...
Neo walked closer to the unconscious blond brawler, pulling out a hidden sword from her umbrella. She walked up beside Yang, flipping the sword around to the correct position to impale the blond beauty, raising it with a sadistic smirk, but suddenly, the door burst open to reveal everyone's favorite vampire. "Yang!" He shouted, looking up at Neo, who took a step back, looking worried. "I'm gonna make you pay for this." He said, throwing his sword past her and rushing in, throwing devastating attacks she could barely stand up against even with his lack of weapon. "Die, you umbrella, two colored BITCH!" He shouted, grabbing her and throwing her into a wall, rushing in and slamming his foot into her stomach, breaking her bottom ribs. He then used his left forearm to pin her against the wall and threw brutal body shots at her stomach and face, breaking more ribs and cracking her skull before he grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the ground as hard as he could. She barely managed to pick herself up, backing away. Damion stormed back up to her and prepared for another attack, but then he noticed someone next to Yang.
It was clearly a woman, wearing blood red gauntlets with black gloves on her arms and what looked like a black and red martial arts coat on her chest, a black short skirt covering the important part of her lower body and long black boots that left only a couple inches of skin exposed between them and the skirt. She also appeared to have raven-like feathers around her waist. She wore a mask similar to that of the White Fang, but hers was more like a helmet with 4 eye slits that covered her entire face and most of her head, but allowed her black hair to hand out of the back. She was kneeling down beside Yang, appearing to be checking for injuries "Who the hell are you?!" He demanded, preparing to fight her and defend Yang, but then he saw Neo out of the corner of his eye take his moment of distraction and teleport away. "Dammit! She got away!" He snapped, before turning back to the woman. "Now who are you?!" He demanded. She said nothing, but simply grabbed her helmet and lifted it enough to reveal her face. "You're..." He said silently in shock. Yang then groaned as she started to wake up. "Yang!" He said, rushing to her side, holding her head up and holding her hand as the mystery woman unsheathed her katana and swung it once, creating some form of portal, stepping through it just as Yang regained her senses and managed to see her.
"Who was that?" Yang asked.
Damion was reluctant to say, but took a deep breath and looked down at her. "Someone you know." He said.
With Blake...
She moved the sword closer to Torchwick's throat. "Ah, still feisty. So, what are we gonna do now? Do you really think a little bow on top is gonna make people forget what you were? What you've done?" He asked, but was silenced when Nicolas came from nowhere and kicked him in the face. "She's done enough to make up for that by now. Even by kicking your ass just now, she's undone more than enough wrong she's even done." He said supportively. The room was then filled with more members of the White Fang. "Well, lucky I came here when I did." He said, smacking them away with bone hands, before spinning and swinging his hammer, smacking more of them and sending them into the walls.
Blake quickly followed up and took down a couple more of them with her sword.
End music
"Nice timing. Another minute and I would've been swarmed." Blake said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank Sai. He's the one who sent us after all of you." He said.
"Then... Where is he?" She asked.
Back with me...
Background music: "I will not bow" by Breaking Benjamin
I blocked a strike from Pantero with Brimstone, skidding back from the force into Nicolas' evil clone, who had a bone staff that he held just enough space between to put his arms over my held, pulling me back into him with the staff up against my neck, trying to strangle me. Fortunately, he lifted me off the ground when he did this, allowing me to swing my legs back into him, making him let me go and dropping him to his knees. I slashed him across the chest with Brimstone after this, burning him away into a charred, brittle skeleton, which I kicked, turning him to dust. I turned just in time for Jason to kick Brimstone out of my hand, causing it to stick into car that was 3 cars away from us.
"Not so good without a weapon, huh?!" He asked, swinging his sword back at me, but I backflipped to get away from in and landed about 5 feet away.
"Oh, don't worry, I've still got weapons." I said, readying my chains. The three of them rushed at me, but I rolled back, lashing out with my chains, wrapping them around Arkos and Pantero's legs and pulling them out from under them, causing them to trip up Jason in the process. I rushed in again, throwing a round kick to Arkos' head, knocking him to the ground. I then slashed Pantero across the stomach and chest with my finger blades and hitting Jason in the face with a rear kick.
Pantero roared in anger and kicked at my chest, but I blocked it with my hands. "You little bastard! I will not allow myself to be destroyed by a runt like you!" He shouted, swinging his axe down at me. Quickly, I jumped back out of the way of the blade and did a front flip, landing on the handle just behind the blade, kicking Pantero in the face, making him let go of the axe and stagger back holding his face.
"Two sayings you should take to heart: big things come in small packages. And the bigger they are, the harder they fall." I said, using one of my chains to pull the trigger of the axe and rolling off, causing it to fire and blast a giant hole in Arkos' torso behind us, but the force also ripped the axe out of the ground upwards and forwards... into Pantero's chest. He shouted in pain and anger, staggering back and trying to pull it out, but wasn't paying attention to his footing and in his struggle, he fell off the train and was pulled under the tracks.
"Well, it appears it's down to us now." Jason said.
"Yeah. And if you have a brain in that skull of yours, you'd use it and get the hell out of here." I told him.
"I'm not leaving until I have Damion lying at my feet in a pile of his own blood. And from there, I'm gonna proceed to make his life and living hell." He said.
"His life was already a hell. Thanks to your father. And he's done everything in his power to make up for all the wrong and pain he's caused people. That is one of the most admirable things in this world. He is the perfect example of the worst kind of person in the world turning back and becoming the best they can be. He's a hero. And he's my best friend. So if you think I'll EVER let you hurt him, or anyone else he or I care about, you're fucking insane." I said.
"Fine then. It's my job to hurt and kill people, so you're just another job to me. But I'll admit it: I'm gonna enjoy making you scream in pain." He said.
There was a small pause before... "Someone sure needs a hobby." I said.
He shouted and rushed in at me, swinging his sword, but I knocked it out of his hand. We matched each other move for move before he threw a left punch at my head, but I redirected it with an outside block using my left hand, but then jumped off my back foot and threw a right round house to the back of his head, knocking him to the ground. I raised my foot and went to stomp on his head, but he rolled out of the way and swept my feet out from under me. I hit the ground hard and the instant I landed, knives suddenly appeared from nowhere, stabbing my hands and feet into the ground. I shouted in pain and he laughed, standing over me. "I told you I'd make you scream." He said in a sickening tone.
"Stop it." I said annoyed.
"You know, it's funny. You look surprised, but you really shouldn't be. You're a demon who was STUPID enough to STAND AGAINST the SON of a GOD!" He said, stomping on my face each time he emphasized a word. "You're leagues beneath me. I'm one of the most powerful beings in this world. I am the son of a god. Soon I'll be the ruler of the universe!" He said, looking to the sky and raising his hands above his head. "What do you have to say about that?" He asked, looking down at me, at which point his head was blasted off when I hit him with the Evil Eye technique.
"Well, I'm taller." I said as his body slumped and fell off the train. "The disrespect is so real." I said as I used my chains to pull the knives out of my body, getting up as the other two teams regrouped with me.
"Enjoy yourself?" Damion asked.
"It's fun to get a workout every so often." I said. We then all turned to see the blast doors sealing the caves from the rest of Vale. "This is probably gonna hurt." I said.
"What do we do?!" Yang asked.
Weiss and I looked at each other and nodded. She created a dome of ice around us and I covered that with a barrier of demonic energy. The train crashed and for a moment, everything went white. We came to with the sound of alarms blaring and I also heard fire crackling around us. I looked around ans saw the rest of my team, also just recovering along with Ruby's team. The most important thing is we were lying on the ground, rubble everywhere around us, indicating a giant accident had just happened, so there was damage, the extent of which was currently unknown. We slowly got up and realized that civilians were all coming to see what had happened and how much damage was done, unaware of the threat that couldn't be too far behind us.
Just as I feared, the ground behind us was burst open by a King Taijutsu, beowulves streaming out of it just behind the massive snake monster and began chasing civilians, Deathstalkers charging down the streets as civilians tried to run away and a couple of ursai and creeps terrorizing people in the middle of the square. "Blake? Nicolas? Weren't you two supposed to stop the train?" I asked.
"Uh..." They both said.
The rest of us only had one thought in mind at this. "We fucked up."
Ruby looked shocked and horrified at first, but this quickly turned into anger. "Maybe. We might've messed up below ground, but now we can fix things above it." She said.
"Right." We all agreed, getting back up and readying our weapons. The final battle was about to commence... Well, the final battle of this Volume, anyway...
