(A.N.) Hello everyone and welcome back! WARNING! This chapter will have a spoiler if you haven't watched the end of Volume five of RWBY. I want to thank you all again for the continuing support and hope you enjoy today's chapter :)
Yang grinned as she punched an Ursa into a boulder. It roared in pain as the impact shattered the boulder then it went silent as it slowly started to disappear into a cloud of black smoke.
Yang stretched and let out a sigh. "Another day another lien."
The blonde smirked when she felt a presence behind her. An Alpha Beowolf stood behind her and slowly raised it's arm ready to attack her. Yang closed her eyes and crossed her arm's as the grimm attacked. But just before it's attack could hit her. A giant white blade cut the grimm completely in two. When both halves of the grimm fell to the ground. It revealed the attacker. A big white paladin with a great sword. White smoke was coming off it.
"Honestly Yang. You do that on purpose."
Yang opened her yes and looked over to the right to see her teammate/sister in-law Weiss Rose. Her hands on her hips giving Yang the famous Schnee glare.
The blonde chuckled and answered. "Just keeping you on your toes princess."
The white haired girl rolled her eyes as the paladin dropped to one knee and slowly disappeared into a cloud of white smoke. "One of these day's your going to get hurt trying to be funny."
Yang waved her off. "Yeah yeah." She then looked around the area. They were a few miles away from a small village. In a rocky clearing next to a mountain. The mountain was in front of them with the forest to the south, east, and west of them. "Is that all of them?"
Weiss stood next to her blonde sister in-law and pulled out a small folded up piece of paper from her teammates pants pocket. After unfolding it she re read the mission details. "Just about. We still need to kill that A class grimm that's been seen in the area."
Yang grinned while cracking her knuckles. "I hope it's another giant Nevermore like back during our initiation test. Man that would bring back so many memories."
Weiss smiled in return folding the paper back up. "That actually would. Honestly the mission hasn't been as bad as the town said it was. This mission went from weeks to day's."
Yang shrugged. "Hey i'm not complaining. That just means we get to go back home and spend more time with the Mrs and kids. Maybe me and Chloe can have a night out. Been a while since we had a gal pal outing."
Weiss poked the brawler in the side. "I swear. If I get another drunken prank call again about you and her joining a nudist cult and inviting me I will freeze you both to the roof of Beacon...Upside down."
Yang laughed. "Oh come on. It was funny."
Weiss just sighed. "How does Blake and Penny put up with the two of you?" The white haired girl asked while handing the mission report back to the blonde.
Yang stuffed it back into her pocket. "Beats me. But i'm happy she does. Maybe it has something to do with how great I am in be-"
"Finish that sentence and I will freeze your mouth shut." Weiss warned while glaring at her teammate.
Before Yang could continue teasing her sister in-law they both felt the ground beneath them shake a bit. "Whoa...Feel that?" Yang asked.
*Boom*
The ground shook again.
Weiss nodded. "Yeah. Maybe it's just a small tremor."
*Boom*
The sound grew a bit louder and the earth beneath them shook a bit more intense. Making a few pebbles bounce in place.
Yang gulped in nervousness. "I...Don't think so Weiss."
*Boom*
Both woman had a bead of sweat rolling down their faces. "Yang...Something is definitely coming."
*Boom*
Yang nodded and readied her gauntlet and weaponized arm. "Sounds big too."
*Boom*
Weiss unsheathed her sword and summoned a glyph in front of her getting ready to summon if necessary.
*Boom. Boom*
"It's getting closer." Yang mumbled as she tightened her fists. They both could feel the dread in the air now. Whatever was coming.
It was bad.
"Where is it coming from?" Weiss asked in slight panic as the two women now stood back to back.
They both froze as the heard the loudest and most scariest noise they have heard in years. A very loud roar echoes through the forest and mountain.
*Boom. Boom. Boom.*
"Weiss...I don't think it's a giant Nevermore. Haha..." Yang said trying to lighten up the situation.
It didn't work.
Weiss didn't answer. She was staying completely focused. Honestly she was slightly scared right now. She has never heard a grimm make a noise like that at all during her huntress career. And it sounded big. Like the dragon back during the Battle of Beacon.
*Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.*
The two girls were definitely panicking. "It's headed right for us. And fast." Weiss said trying to keep herself steady as the ground started shaking more violently.
Yang gasped and yelled. "Weiss! The forest on my side!"
Weiss quickly spun around and stood next to Yang and watched nervously as the sound of tree's falling and birds crying out and flying away echoed through the area. The terrible sound of that roar grew louder then all of a sudden the treeline in front of them exploded. They both flinched and gasped at what was now in front of them.
A giant reptile like grimm now stood in front of them. It was at least eighteen feet tall and and forty feet long. It's body completely black just like any other grimm. It's red eyes were focused on the two young women. It's jaws slightly open baring it's bladed like teeth. It's arms were not that long but each arm had three bladed like claws. A long six foot bladed horn was attached to the end of it's snout. All the way down it's back and on it's hips and legs were bone like armor. Running down it's back all the way to the end of it's tail was a row of bladed spikes.
The monster just stood there keeping an eye on it's next prey. Waiting for them to make the first move.
Yang's jaw was dropped a bit. "We...Weiss. What. The. Fuck. Is. That?" For the first time in her life. Yang was intimidated by her opponent.
Weiss would have told her friend to watch the language but it seemed appropriate in this situation. "Fr...From what I remember from Pr...Professor Ports class. That's a Giga. It's a S class grimm."
Yang gulped. "S...Class? But... The mission said A class!"
Weiss gripped her weapon tightly. Her palms were getting sweaty. "I...Guess the person who made the report di..Didn't do a good job." Weiss knew this was bad. Giga's were suppose to be the rarest and one of the most dangerous grimm around. In fact no one has seen one in almost two decades if she remembers right. S class grimm are always suppose to be fought with at least a team of four people at minimum. But just the two of them? This very well could be they're deaths.
"So uh...No shame in running...Right?" Yang asked nervously.
Weiss would have been all on board with that idea if it weren't for one thing. "Yang. What is directly behind us? Past the forest?"
After a moment of thinking Yang cursed. "Shit. The village. They'd be slaughtered."
Weiss held her blade in front of herself while Yang took her stance. "Hey Yang...Don't die ok?"
Despite the situation Yang chuckled. "Was about to say the same thing to you."
Weiss waved her sword and quickly a big wall of ice appeared in front of them. Blocking the monsters vision. The grimm roared in anger and charged at the iced wall. It used it's skull and bladed horn to smash the wall. When the wall crumbled apart The beast's feet started to get covered in ice until it was stuck. Weiss Skidded the side and summoned a few glyphs around its thrashing head. "Yang now!"
A shot was heard then a moment later Yang came rushing down from the sky. She yelled with her prosthetic arm thrown back. As she got closer to her target she used all her muscle and punched the giant grimm right in between the eyes while at the same time the glyph's surrounding it shot off dozens of iced spears. Embedding into it's neck.
Both Yang and Weiss gasped as the creature didn't collapse and kept standing. The beast growled then roared throwing it's head upward. Yang was thrown backwards and rolled around on the side of it's back until she got back on her feet. "Weiss! What's this damn thing's weakness!?" She yelled from the grimm's back.
Weiss summoned another glyph. "It doesn't have one!" She summoned a swarm lancer's. The Ice white bee's swarmed the Giga and shot their harpoon like stingers into its neck trying to subdue the beast.
Yang's aura flared as she ran up it's back and jumped on top of it's head and repeatedly punched into it's skull.
The giga roared in rage and in one swift motion broke it's feet out from the ice and spun in a complete one eighty with it's tail in the air hitting all of the summoned lancers making them disappear. The giant grimm then charged towards the base of the mountain with it's head down.
Yang looked up and paled. "Oh shit!" She back flipped onto a quickly summoned glyph then jumped again. But before she could land the giant grimm stopped in its tracks. Yang gasped and quickly turned mid air shielding herself with her arms as it's tail swung upwards at her. The blonde went flying into the mountain.
"Yang!" Weiss yelled in horror.
The monster turn towards Weiss and charged at her without a second thought. Weiss summoned a medium sized Nevermore and jumped onto it's back. It quickly flew into the air. The monster stopped in it's tracks when Weiss was out of range. It roared at her but then felt pain in it's muscled right leg.
Yang's aura flared up even more. Her eyes now red. Her fist connected to it's knee. She was able to punch it's leg off the ground making it tumble and fall on its side. Yang ran until she was at a good distance before firing her gauntlets at it. While Weiss filled her blade with red dust and fired a barrage of fire balls onto it's head.
The grimm roared in pain as the women kept up they're attacks. "Yang i'm going try and finish it off, cover me!" Yang kept firing as Weiss held her sword in front of her and concentrated as a giant glyph appeared above the Giga. She was close to summoning when she heard her partner yell out. "Weiss look out!"
Weiss quickly opened her eyes and by a hair was able to move her summoned Nevermore out of the way of a body length blade. She looked down and saw that it shot out from the Giga's back. It turned it's back at Yang and fired two more. Yang side rolled out of the way of the first one then used her gauntlets to shoot herself upwards into the air to dodge the second one. Before she could land the Giga's tail swung at her again and in a blink of an eye she went flying through the air and into the forest. Her body knocking over a few trees.
Weiss glared at the Giga as it got back up. It roared up at her and shot three more bladed spikes at her. She was able to easily dodge the first two but the third one pierced her summoned bird. It disappeared and she started to descend down towards the Giga.
Time seem to slow down as the Giga swung it's head upward. It's massive Bladed horn aimed right at her. Her life flashed before her eyes. But two people came to her mind. "Ruby, Summer. I'm sorry."
"Weiss!"
Weiss gasped and grunted in pain as she felt herself being punched. She started falling towards the right, away from the Giga. She looked up and watched in horror as the bladed horn completely impaled Yang through her torso and out her back. "Yang!" Weiss landed on the ground with a hard thud. Her aura flashing on impact.
Yang had blood flowing out of her mouth as she tried gasping out for air. The Giga snarled and threw it's head to the side flinging Yang off it's horn and into a small boulder shattering it.
Weiss put a hand over her mouth in horror. The blood dripping from the Giga's horn made her almost sick. The Giaga roared and charged straight for Weiss. The White haired girl was still in shock. She jut sat there looking at where her sister in-law landed. The Giga opened it's jaw's as it got closer.
But then out of nowhere a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the Giga. It roared in pain as it's entire body was being covered in electricity. Weiss looked up and gasped as she saw a red blur descend with the lightning bolt and flew by the Giga's neck. The nape of it's neck splattered from a newly made wound. The blur landed revealing an older woman with long wild black hair. She turned towards Weiss and ordered. "Finish it! Now!"
Weiss shook her head snapping herself out of her trance and re summoned her giant glyph above the Giga. A moment later her giant Paladin emerged from the glyph and descended down towards the paralyzed Giga. It swung it's massive blade down and sliced through the wound. The paladin landed on one knee as the Giga's head rolled off it's body. The paladin slowly disappeared as the Giga's body toppled over. It's body and head slowly started to disappear into a cloud of black smoke.
Weiss dropped to her knees and started panting. She looked up when she heard footstep's The woman in front of her. She remembered seeing her in the group photo. "Raven?"
Raven ignored her and asked. "Where's Yang?"
Weiss gasped and stood up. "Yang!" She bolted over where she saw her sister in-law landed. Raven following close behind. When they got close enough Weiss started to cry seeing Yang gasping for air, clutching her wound. Weiss was at her side immediately. "Yang. Oh dust. No, no, no. I'll take you back to the village and-"
Raven stood behind the frantic girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. When the black haired woman got her attention she shook her head sadly. A tear running down her face. "The wound...There's nothing we can do."
Weiss snarled at Raven. "Don't say that! She has a chance if-"
"Wei...Weiss."
The white haired woman looked back down to see Yang's half opened eyes. "Yang. Don't talk. Save your strength."
Raven walked around and knelt down on the other side. She slowly reached out and held her daughter's hand that wasn't clutching the wound. "Weiss listen closely...Listen..To her final words." Raven was trying with all her might not to cry.
Weiss angrily shook her head. "No! She's not dying! She..She has her sister Ruby! Her best friend Chloe! She has a family to get back home too. She'd..She'd never leave them." She looked back down at Yang. "Right?"
Yang smiled softly. "Weiss...I'm so happy that...You became part of the family...I couldn't be happier that...It's you who makes Ruby happy. Your like...Another sister to me."
Weiss openly sobbed. Placing her hand on top of Yang's. "St..Stop talking like this. You..You shouldn't have saved me...This is my fault."
Yang coughed a few times before replying. "No...I...Love you Weiss. I..I would have done that for...Any of my friends or...Family. I'm happy...That your safe."
Weiss closed her eyes. The tears still running down her face. "I love you too Yang."
Yang slowly turned her head towards her birth mother. "He...Hey mom."
Raven swallowed down her sadness. "Hey Yang. I felt your connection to my semblance weakening. Came to your rescue again."
Yang chuckled weakly. "So much for...Your one time rule." Raven smiled back. "I'm...Glad your here mom."
Raven clenched her free fist. "Me too...Yang I'm sorry."
The blonde slowly shook her head. "Don't be...Your here now...I love you mom."
For the first time. Sine the death of her best friend Summer Rose. Raven Branwen openly cried. "I love you too Yang. I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud."
Yang turned her attention towards the bright blue sky. "It...Was short. But I...Had a good run. Got to be a...Huntress. Got married...To the most beautiful woman in the world...Made some amazing friends...Had some wonderful children...Not bad...Not bad at all. I just...Wish I could have seen them grow up." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Take...Care of them for me please? Tell...Tell them and Blake that...I..I love...Love them." Yang took her final breath.
Raven turned away as Weiss tried shaking her awake. "Yang?...Yang come on this isn't funny! This is your most dumbest joke yet! You better wake up or I swear I'll...I'll...I'll." Weiss collapsed onto her chest and bawled. "Yang! Yang!"
Raven stood up and walked a few feet away. Tears were hitting the ground. Her fists were shaking. "Damn it. I couldn't protect her...Just like Summer...I can't protect anyone."
The Y of team RWBY. A hero from the Battle Of Beacon. A sister, a daughter, a friend, a wife and mother. Yang Xiao Long was declared KIA on her thirty first mission. She passed away with a smile on her face.
