Chapter 24
Terrrrorrrists!
Hello! And welcome to the final chapter!
Just kidding, there will be more.
I have been waiting for this chapter since volume 2 came out. Woo! Yeah! Let's get going!
I got up when I heard Yang loud and panicked question. I look around and notice that her bed is gone. Zwei runs in barking followed by Oobleck. "Come on girls," he said in a foreboding voice, "Ruby's in trouble."
So we ran, following Zwei until we got to a huge hole.
"What happened?" I ask as I stare at the hole in the ground. I go and peer into its depths and sense... Something. I don't know what but it feels, old. I shake my head, partially to clear the thoughts that were swirling in my head and partially to listen to Oobleck.
"It doesn't mean we're looking for an underground crime network, it means we're looking for an UNDERGROUND crime network!"
"Wow. Terrorists in caves, how original." I state, causing everyone to look at me questioningly. "It's along story. Stupid terrorists." I muttered the last part.
With that we went into a building door just beyond the hole. Inside we found an entryway to the city. There was this huge door with the numbers 111 written on it, but before I could get a better look Yang smashed it and everyone went inside.
We saw a lot of people moving onto the train and I think a flash of red. Soon we got over there and saw Ruby we gave her back crescent rose and discussed what to do next.
"So, we need to stop the, and why is Damien just running?" Ruby questioned.
"That's a very simple question Ruby," I said as they had all followed me. "The only way to stop a train is to fight our way through, one box at a time until we get to the engine. There we will fight a boss and a temp to defeat him. When we do we will hear a short little toon and see the words Please Insert 25 Cents to Continue." They all just looked at me. "Either way, we need to get on the train.
And we did. We then opened the door on the roof, because every train has doors on their roofs', and peered inside to see a bomb. "Move!" I shouted as we all got to the next cart and opened the door on that one. "Move! Again!" I shouted and we went to the next one where the same thing happened.
"No, no, no, no! This can't be happening!" Oobleck said. We all looked at him. "Don't you see? They all have bombs in them!" After words the last cart detached itself and went back a little ways and promptly exploded. "See! They're creating holes to let the Grimm in."
Well we still need to get to the front. Ruby, Oobleck and I will go from the top; you three, go from below. Good luck." And I charged. Only to run right into a paladin. "Hehe, fancy meeting you here." The paladin was not amused. It swung its fist at me but I teleported behind it and unloaded a clip of bullets into the behemoth. "Glad that's taken care of." And I turn to see dozens getting ready to fight. "Fu-" and the closest one punches me, knocking me into the cart below. Ironically enough, I land on pillows which crest just enough noise to distract Weiss from seeing the huge fucking saw slicing right at her face.
The weird guy didn't see me, all his focus on Weiss. He went and grabbed her face and lifted her up as if to smash her down. Before he could I yelled, "Hey! Put. Down. The Schnee." And he did. He then got into a battle stance. "No one will hurt her." I exclaimed through gritted teeth.
I couldn't tell, but I think he was smiling. He readied his chain saw and charged. The blade swung by me, forcing me to teleport behind. I gave a few good slashes that jolted him, but he recovered quickly and swung again at me. He was fast, and I didn't have time to teleport. I took the brunt of his chainsaw onto my shoulder and rolled out of the way. I the. Moved behind him and slashed at his legs, bringing him to his knees. I got up and he slashed at me but it was from an odd angle and I easily deflected it. "It doesn't have to be this way." I said, trying to convince him to stop being a terrorist.
"Oh, yes it does." He said before lunging at me, forcing me to knock him out.
I picked up Weiss and just as I was about to go to the next car, Yang came through. "What's wrong Yang, you look as if you've seen a ghost?" I asked, but she shook her head. I decided that we didn't have enough time to talk about it. So we continued going forward until we got to the engine.
That was also when Weiss woke up. "Put me down! Put me down this instant!" She screamed and I complied. I looked over the controls and saw that they were stuck.
Just then Omer heard Ruby from on top. He all opened the door and got into the roof. "Hey gu-wow, what happened to you Weiss?" She inquired.
"She got the beat down, hard." I said with a slight smile.
"Oh yeah! Well, Yang did too." We all turned to look at Yang who proceeded to smash the nearest metal object. This was a sign from her either saying 'stop talking about this' or 'I'm on my period!' Possibly both.
Just as I was about to say something else on this subject, Ruby loudly yelled "guys! Get over here." And we did, with just enough time to not die from crashing into a dead end.
Ok! Sorry for the late update. Believe it or not, I actually have a plan for this story. And volume 3 threw a wrench into it. Thanks volume 3. I try to follow cannon as much as I can because I have a very clear cut time I want to split off into my own story. I finally get to really do that when I finish up Volume 2. In addition, next volume will focus more on Damien and his team directly, And almost nothing on the tournament. Can't wait for the next one!
Arrivederci
