The defenders of Haven Academy rushed out to the walls of the school. Looking out to the plane below the could see the shapes of grimm amassed at the edge of the forest ready to strike. Howls and Roars could be heard from all manner of grimm. While there were far less grimm here than what had attacked Vale, the simply weren't needed against the less than 20 defenders, not counting repurposed training bots. And then there were the High Grimm, giving their own rhythmic war chant that could be heard, eerily standing out against the animalistic noises of the lesser grimm. As one all the grimm both high and lesser went silent. It was then that only the Beowolves charged out as a wave rushing forward like the dogs of war that they were. However, the field to Haven was not unprotected as the charging Beowolves ran into land mines placed about in front of the school destroying many of them.
"Don't shoot until the Grimm have passed the mine field!" Arthur commanded to the defenders.
"This is bad. They're clearing the damn mine field!" Jaune commented as he continued to see Beowolf after Beowolf get blown up. At that moment another wave of grimm charged out this time including Boarbatusks and Ursai. Just as the Grimm were about to reach where the minefield had been first laid out Benny gave a chuckle before pressing the button on a detonator. Claymore dust mines exploded as one sending thousands of shots into the approaching grimm tearing them apart as others pressed on into the mine field blowing them selves up. But as the smoke settled another wave of grimm came out of the woods, this time they were able to cross the field with no trouble save for a few landmines that had been missed by the earlier waves. Bullets from the defenders and auto turrets began to fire into the charging crowd of grimm, but they were less effective than the mines. Beowolves sunk their claws into the walls of the school and began to climb over. One of them had managed to reach the top of the wall and leaped onto one of the defending droids tearing into it only to taken out by Cardin who spun around and swung his borrowed war hammer into another Beowolf killing it.
"Alright two already" Cardin cheered.
"Oh, please I'm on seventeen" Vernal mocked before blasting two more with her chakram, Mani Katti and Sol Katti*. "Nineteen!"
"If I still had the Executioner, I would be doing much better" Cardin yelled back. At the same time on another section of the wall Morgan swung her dust infused garrote wires slicing apart several Beowolves that were leaping at her. With a mighty swing of Magnhild Nora sent more Grimm that were on the wall back into the crowd below knocking a few back. Another three Beowolves rushed at Nora only to be gunned down by Ren wielding StormFlower, the two of them then nodded at each other. Pyrrha stabbed Milo into an attacking Beowolf before bashing her shield Akoúo̱ against another Beowolf. Gwen flipped over a Beowolf that charged at her stabbing her dagger into its head before firing her bowcaster at a group of Beowolves the bolt exploding on impact.
Gregor sat in a cross-legged position surrounded by black smoke as he controlled the attacking grimm. With a strained voice he croaked out "Tyrian its your turn. Gram, Jekyll once the Beringel break the gate you attack."
Several Geists came out of the woods possessing boulders turning them into stone giants. The Geists rushed towards the walls as a large number of Beringel and a swarm of Lancers followed them out of the woods. The larger of the Beringel threw rocks and logs at the turrets on the walls, most of them bouncing harmlessly off the wall itself while others hit the turrets destroying them. One of the Geists reached the wall only for a pack of white Beowolves to leap onto it. The summons began biting and clawing at anything that they could on the Geist, as the monster threw them off and smashed them. One of them was lucky enough to tear into the actual Geist killing it but it was crushed by the now unpossessed rocks. Lancers swarmed the walls firing their stingers into the remaining droids. Ruby fired Crescent Rose in sniper form picking off lancers one by one from her position on the top of the dorms. Several of them almost reached the sniper only for Weiss to leap in front of her partner and use Myntenaster as a flamethrower driving the grimm back. The largest of the Beringel reached the Gate to the school and began to use their massive fists to pound on the gate in an attempt to break it down. Qrow was about to leap down and attack the Beringel only for a familiar face to leap up and swing at him.
"You have got to be shitting me" Qrow groaned as he prepared for combat.
"You and I have unfinished business" Tyrian cackled madly. He then started shooting at Qrow with The Queen's Servants. Qrow leaped up wards and slammed Harbinger downwards at Tyrian who spun out of the way of the blade only to duck under another slash. The two combatants slashed and swung at each other again and again. Tyrian was able to crate an opening and kicked Qrow off the wall and into the grounds below and jumped after him laughing all the way.
The Geists continued to slam themselves into the wall causing it to shake. Benny continued to spin his flail gaining more momentum before he slammed it into the Geist's mask shattering it. Jaune and Arthur stood side by side blocking attacks from a Beringel alpha that had climbed onto the wall. The massive beast swung both of its arms downwards forcing the two apart. The beast then swiped at Jaune who rolled under it before slashing at its back. It quickly turned around and grabbed at Jaune who barely dodged the attack. With the grimm distracted Arthur leaped onto its back and plunged X-Caliburn into it's head. It was at this moment the gate broke open and from out of the woods the High Grimm charged.
*Vernal's weapons were never named in cannon and are called the Fire and Wind Blades on the wiki. Here I named them Mani Katti and Sol Katti after twin swords from the Fire Emblem games.
