Chapter 37
Colin
He was going to be bad, and it was just as bad as he expected. The walls were literally covered in them, from top to bottom it was a solid mass of fuck you. He sighed and tried to look on the bright side as the squad came up behind them, "At least the Queen is still asleep." He said shrugging his shoulders. Just then the queen began to stir getting up and roaring at them, it was so loud it shook the walls. "You had to fucking jinx us didn't you?!" came Joe's angry voice. "Yep, I'm not dealing with this shit." Colin said getting into karate stance and closing his eyes, as his right fist began distorting as the enemy rushed at them. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET OUT OF THERE!" Ruby screamed as they all started retreating, except for him and Yang. Who was in battle stance, he opened his eyes and punched with all his might.
His punch was a good hundred feet from the queen and there was no chance of it connecting with anything, but the shockwave and massive amount of physical and mental force he put into the punch literally ripped the roof off, and disintegrated everything in a cone in front of him. The noise alone killed a couple Tyrannids. He killed about 80 percent of the Tyrannids with the strike, sending the rest flying into what was now empty space. He took a few deep breaths holding his stance, his fist smoking from the speed. Opening his eyes he surveyed his handiwork, smiling at the impressive destruction. He turned to Yang "Want to know how to do that?" he asked gesturing to the mess.
Her mouth was wide open, she nodded. "That's why I was holding back during our fight, I don't think you could handle that, much less the school." He said as the squad moved into the new opening, the squad and Mech started blasting the survivors. "Looks like our job is done." Colin said, "First rounds on me." He said looking around, Team RWBY was still in shock. He chuckled and turned to Joe "Give extraction a call and finish the cleanup. I will have to explain to someone why the sewer system is now open." Joe just laughed and switched to private squad comms. Colin switched over to RWBY's channel "Hello? Anyone there?" he asked walking up to Yang and shaking his hand in front of her face. "Yeah, I'm here. Holy shit." Yang said stunned. Ruby, Weiss and Blake were still hiding behind the corner "Are we safe to come out yet?" Ruby asked peeking past the corner and staring in awe at the destruction.
Weiss then Blake finally peeked over the corner very surprised at the level of destruction. "Come on over her, extraction will be here soon and you don't want to get left behind." Colin said motioning for them to follow as he walked to the center of the new skylight. They broke out of their trance and silently walked to him as a ship landed in the water a few feet away. They boarded and the squad quickly followed. "Hello? Earth to team RWBY." Colin said over the mic, testing his audio to make sure he was talking. "You did that?" Ruby finally asked "Yep, I didn't want to deal with the metric ass tone of bullshit that was that room, so I turned most of it into a skylight." He explained slowly. "If you want to, I can teach you how to do that." He asked "That was awesome, can I really do that too?" Ruby asked hopefully. "With enough training and lots of practice. Yes. Not to that exact scale, but still massively destructive." "Wow, Yang, Blake, and Weiss you guys want in?" he asked stretching out his arms.
"I have too much school work." Weiss said "I'll pass" came Blake's reply "I'm in" Yang said defiantly." "Before we start, is there anyone you know that could use the help and training?" he asked, Ruby though for a moment, Jaune. "We could ask Jaune, he isn't the best fighter." She was being honest, he was kinda crap. "I'll talk to him and your professors about changing your schedule up a bit to give me more training time. But now we need to wash off and rest up." He said as the pelican landed right outside beacon. "What do you mean wash off?" Ruby asked "Take your helmet off." He responded smiling. She did and immediately gagged, quickly putting her helmet back on "It smells soo bad!" she whined, the helmet quickly purging the air out. "Yep, that's what a sewer smells like." He said as they walked towards the school, they walked around until they reached the gardeners shack. Colin turned the crank and hosed the group off. Then himself "Take your helmets off and see how it is." He told them waiting for the gagging, they took their helmets off one by one, no gagging. He pulled his helmet off and the smell was mostly gone. He opened the door with the key the grounds keeper had given him and got some industrial soap.
Squirting some into their hands he had them soap the armor up until they looked like bubbles with heads. He started spraying them off with no warning, causing giggles and high pitched screams, Blake In particular hid in a tree while Yang, Ruby, and Weiss tried to fight him to get the hose back. They only stopped after Colin was soaked, he scrubbed his armor down with some soap and let Yang soak him again. The seal keeping the water out of his suit, then yang winked at him and motioned towards the tree. He smiled and retreated towards it as Yang sprayed him down. "OOH the agony, I'm burning, help meee!" he shouted in a super fake voice making his way under the tree as the three laughed at him. He suddenly jumped into the tree shaking the branches along the way. He managed to grab Blake and air tackled her falling out of the tree and landing on his back, Blake on top of him.
He held her down as Yang soaked them both with the hose, cackling with glee as she did so. Once Blake had had enough he let go and she took a couple swings at him before standing up and giving Yang an angry look. She responded with more water and Blake lept at her tackling her to the ground, they wrestled for a couple seconds getting extremely tangled in the hose, water going everywhere. When the melee stopped the two were faced to face only inches apart. Both of them went beet red in an instant, "Hey there hot stuff, whatcha gonna do about this?" Yang asked with a sly smile. Blake's frustration got the better of her and she gave up with words. She gave Yang a kiss, it lasted for only a moment before Yang looked at her incredulously. "Whaa…?" Yang tried to speak but only noises came out.
Colin walked over and picked the two up and de-tangled them from the hose. They only stood about six inches from each other in silence, both still beet red. "Yang…." Blake started but was cut off by her partner "I like you, a lot." She said taking deep breaths. "It was Blake's turn to be the bold one, "You know, when two people like each other a bit, they do this thing called dating." She said giving Yang a look. Yang gave her another sly look "Why not" she said pulling Blake in for another kiss, this one a little longer. "Ewww, gross!" Ruby said covering her eyes Weiss mimicked her without the words. "Let's leave these two lovebirds alone, c'mon guys." He said covering his eyes and pulling Ruby and Weiss away. They kept walking together until they reached the intersection, one way towards the Dorms, the other to Ozpin's office. "I bid you adieu." He said bowing "Wish me luck." He said turning towards the elevator. Ruby gave him a look that told him everything, she knew he was in for it.
He made the walk of shame to the elevator, then the stupid elevator music. The doors opened and he hung his head in shame as Glynda gave him a look. "I know I know." He said taking a seat "You blew a hole in the main sewer system! What were you thinking!" she scolded him. "If I'm honest, I didn't want to deal with the Tyrannids, so I did it the easy way knowing there would be collateral. Let me show you why." He said putting his helmet on the table and it projected an image of the cavern and the Tyrranid horde inside.
