Chapter 56: Battle of Beacon Pt. 1
Amity Colosseum
At Amity Colosseum, Jacob, Ricky, Penny, Pyrrha, Sun, Dr. Oobleck, Professor Port, Teams RWBY, CFVY, ABRN, NDGO, BRNZ, FNKI, and CRDL were all gathered at the docking bays.
"Ms. Rose, do you mind telling us why you called us all here?" Oobleck asked.
"The White Fang are going to attack and they are going to bring Grimm into the city and Beacon," Ruby said.
"Yeah, I'm sure those freaks would dare to attack a heavily guarded city and a school filled with huntmen," Cardin chuckled.
"Can it, fucktard! This is no laughing joke!" Jacob shouted.
"The White Fang are going to attack tonight, you brainless oof," Sun said.
"Do you have any proof?" Port asked.
Jacob grabbed his radio and started to speak into it.
"Keaton, are you and Professor Ozpin there?" he asked into the radio.
"Yeah, we're here," Keaton answered through the radio.
"Professors Oobleck and Port need proof that the White Fang are going to attack," Jacob said.
"It's true Professors, there's going to attack Beacon and the city as well as bring Grimm to over run us. You must protect the academy and the city," Ozpin said through the radio.
"Do not worry Ozpin. And by the way, it's Doctor," Oobleck said.
"Okay students, the first half will go to Beacon while the other half will go to Beacon," Port instructed.
"Professor Port and I will stay at Amity to help evacuate the citizens," Oobleck said.
"There's one more thing you should all know. If any of you see any vehicles or soldiers you have never seen before, do not attack then. They're here to help us," Ricky said.
They all then noticed a group of U.S. soldiers, all armed with rocket launchers, running towards the edge.
"Like those soldiers?" Penny asked.
"Yep," Blake answered.
City of Vale
Industrial District
Warehouse
Back at the warehouse, Allen, Kelly, and Neo were all hiding behind crates, watching the White Fang preparing to leave to Beacon and the city. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and several groups of White Fang soldiers were boarding the air bus while Adam, Deery, and three more soldiers boarded on one of the bullheads. Some of the soldiers were trying to get the Grimm on board the other bullheads. The paladins and several groups of White Fang soldiers were all starting to run into the city.
"What do you guys say, we try to stall them?" Kelly suggested.
"Probably a good idea. What about you, Neo? You in?" Allen asked.
Neo nods with a smirk and pulls out a small bomb.
"Then let's do this," Kelly said.
Allen, Kelly, and Neo all split off from each other and went off in different directions. Neo runs up to a few stacks of crates full of dust. She places the bomb on one of the crates and runs away.
Allen runs up behind some crates, guarded by a White Fang soldier. He sneaks up behind him and hits him in the back of the head with the butt end of Daburushokkā, knocking him unconscious. He drags his body behind the crates and he then poke his head around the corner aiming his gun at an open crate of fire dust, ready to pull the trigger.
Kelly runs past some crates then hides behind one of the crates. She then aims Hacker at a group of White Fang soldiers.
Neo was hiding behind a corner of the warehouse and pulled out a detonator. She smiles as she then pushes the button. The bomb explodes, destroying the crates and incinerating four soldiers. Allen then shoots at the fire dust as it then explodes killing three more soldiers. Kelly opens fire shooting at the fanus extremists and killing six more.
"Kill them!" Adam ordered the soldiers as the hatch door to his bullhead closed.
The bullheads and airbus then start to take off as the soldiers on the ground start shooting at Allen and Kelly. Neo runs up to three goons while pulling out Hush and whacks two of them. She then pops out a blade from the tip of her parasol and impales the third faunus. Neo opens her parasol and uses it to shield herself from gunfire from three more White Fang troops as they start shooting at her.
Kelly runs up to the gunners and transforms her tommy gun into its axe form then whacks one of them into the stomach. She then hacks at the second in his jugular then transforms her axe into its buzzsaw form and cuts the third soldier's legs off.
Allen runs up to two more White Fang soldiers transforming his gun into his stun batons. He then gave a few whacks to the first soldier then jabs the second in the stomach, followed by a whack to the face. Another soldier armed with a sword charges at Allen, trying to attack him. Allen rolls to the side then electrocutes the soldier with the tips of his batons.
Allen, Neo, and Kelly then find themselves surrounded by dozens of White Fang members. The White Fang members were all about to fire. Before anything could happen, a storm of bullets come out of the sky, hitting and killing several White Fang soldiers. Everyone looked up and saw two Blackhawk helicopters and four Little Bird helicopters, flying over them. The White Fang and Neo all looked at the helicopters in shock as they looked very unfamiliar to them.
"What the fuck are those?!" one of the White Fang soldiers asked.
"Your worst nightmare, you sons of bitches," Kelly answered.
The helicopters then started to land as the Earth soldiers boarded off and started to shoot at the White Fang soldiers as they too fired back. Allen, Kelly, and Neo ran up to the earth soldiers while shooting at the White Fang. They ran up to a British soldier as Allen then spoke.
"The White Fang are already on their way to Beacon and they are already in the city," he said.
"Don't you worry. Those bloody wankers will be receiving a few little surprises," the soldier said.
"You guys go into the city and help out our boys. We'll have things under control here soon," a Canadian soldier said.
Allen, Kelly, and Neo then all ran straight into the city.
Meanwhile with Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and the White Fang, they were all currently flying up the river towards Beacon. Mercury was looking out the window until he saw something.
"Uh, Cinder, what's that coming towards us?" he asked.
Cinder and Emerald got up from their seats and then looked out the window. They all saw three Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopters flying towards them. The helicopters then launched a few rockets towards the air bus and bullheads. Some of the rockets missed their targets, two of the rockets hit a bullhead as it then started to fall into the water below, and the other rockets hit the air bus, though the air bus is still flying.
Cinder runs out into the second deck of the air bus. She then uses her semblance, Scorching Caress, to create thick grass shards then hurls them at the helicopters' rudders. All three start to fall into the water, though one of them crashes into another bullhead, making it too fall into the water. Only the air bus and two bullheads, including Adam's were still flying. Cinder runs back inside and straight to the cockpit.
"Will we make it to Beacon?" Cinder asked the pilot.
"Just barely. We can't take another hit like that," the pilot answered.
Cinder stood in thought, wondering what just attacked them. The second bullhead flies upward, straight to Amity Colosseum, while the air bus and Adam's bullhead fly towards Beacon.
Back into the city, a dozen White Fang soldiers accompanied with a paladin were all currently shooting at civilians as they were running. The White Fang all stop and notice Kelly up the street holding a megaphone.
"We're giving you this one warning and please stop this attack and go home!" Kelly said through the megaphone.
The White Fang shot at Kelly as she ran behind a building.
"Okay, you've all had your warning!" Kelly shouted.
The White Fang's expressions turned from anger to shock as an M-1A2C Abrams army tank rolled around the corner and fired a round at the paladin. The paladin shatters upon impact as a group of U.S. soldiers and some AK-200s run out of the corner and start shooting at the White Fang.
Allen and Kelly came out of the corner and started shooting at the White Fang too as Neo followed behind them. The White Fang then retreats as everyone then stops shooting. Five humvees drove out of the corner as two of them started to follow the White Fang while the rest came to a halt.
"With all this negativity going on, the grimm will surely come into the city," a soldier said.
Everyone looks up and sees an air bus lands behind them. The door opens as Teams BRNZ, NDGO, CRDL, and Penny, and Ricky all stepped off as then all approached the soldiers.
"Okay, listen up. We will be expecting some Grimm to show up and there is still some White Fang soldiers in the city. Each huntsmen team must stick with a humvee which are those vehicles over there. So let's go. Everyone, move out!" a U.S. soldier instructed.
The teams then ran up to a humvee as Ricky and Penny ran up to Allen, Kelly, and Neo.
"Where's Jacob?" Allen asked.
"Jacob has chosen to stay behind to help protect Beacon," Penny answered.
"And Penny and I chose to protect the city with you guys," Ricky added.
"Alright, you guys ready then?" Kelly asked.
"I'm combat ready!" Penny exclaimed.
"Let's go then," Allen said.
They all ran up to a humvee as it was preparing to leave.
Beacon Academy
Main Avenue
Meanwhile back at the academy, Cassandra, Neptune, Scarlet, Sage, Team CFDT, and several Earth soldiers were all preparing for the White Fang's arrival.
"Everyone, hurry. I got a call saying that the White Fang will be here any minute!" Cassandra shouted.
An air bus then hovers over everyone as the door then opens up. Jumping off of the ship and landing on the ground was Jacob, Pyrrha, Sun, and Teams RWBY, CFVY, ABRN, and FNKI. As the air bus flies away, Cassandra walks up to the arrivals.
"Glad you guys could join us," she said.
"What's the plan?" Ruby asked.
"Pyrrha, go to the fairgrounds and join up with your team. The rest of you get into positions and wait for the White Fang to step into one of our traps," Cassandra instructed.
Pyrrha ran straight to the fairgrounds while everyone else scrambled to find a hiding spot. After everyone was into positions, they all silently waited for the White Fang to show up. Suddenly, a bullhead and a smoking air bus comes up and lands on to a landing dock. The hatch to the bullhead opens, revealing Adam, Deery, and three other White Fang members.
"Bring them to their knees!" Adam said with a smile.
The air bus hatch door opens as dozens of White Fang soldiers charge out heading straight to the courtyard. They all started to slow down as there isn't anybody in sight. As Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury walked off the air bus, they too noticed that there seemed to be no one in sight.
"Something's not right," Cinder said. As the White Fang approaches the courtyard, they all fail to notice three landmines right in front of them as one of the members steps on one. The mines then explode sending ten faunus flying into the air.
"It's a trap!" Emerald exclaimed in shock.
The Earth soldiers poked out of their hiding spots and started to open fire while the huntsmen students came out of their hiding spots and charged at the White Fang.
"Kill them!" Adam yelled.
The White Fang then charged at the students as they were also shooting at the Earth soldiers. Ruby trips a member with her scythe while Weiss plants her Myrtenaster creating an ice attack, freezing four White Fang soldiers. Yatsuhashi jumps into the air and slams his sword into the ground, creating a crater, sending a group of White Fang goons flying.
Robert and Kendra were both shooting at more White fang soldiers. One of them runs up to Robert, but Robert quickly transforms his sniper rifle into its spear mode and impales the soldier. Kendra transforms her rifle into a pole axe and slams the blade into another goon's stomach. She then transforms her weapon back to its gun mode and gets back to shooting.
Yang punches two more White Fang members while Blake creates an ice clone just as a faunus swordsman was about to strike her, freezing his sword in place. Blake then kicked the swordsman in the side of the head, knocking him to the ground.
"Who are those people?" Mercury asked, pointing at the soldiers.
"Do they have anything to do with those airships that attacked us?" Emerald asked.
They all looked up at Amity Colosseum and saw the bullhead that had Grimm inside it, heading towards Amity and suddenly was getting shot at by several rockets. The bullhead gets hit by some of the rockets as it then explodes and falls out of the sky.
"Perhaps. Though they don't look like they belong to Atlas, they seem to be one step ahead of us. Although we'll create enough negativity here to draw the Grimm," Cinder said as she started walking with Emerald and Mercury following behind.
