Third POV

"You alright back there!?" Sutekina yelled behind her back as she was riding a horse.

"Define 'Alright'!" Aleister yelled as he was holding on to the chain that was connected to the horse, but there was a slight problem. He was at the opposite end of the chain, while the shurikens were attached on his back with a vine as he was being dragged across the ground. Not only that but the Echidna was chasing them through the forest.

How did they get into this situation, you ask? Well, after Aleister saved Sutekina from being eaten, he fought Grimm a bit, managing to get a few hits but ultimately got overwhelmed when it used its scream to disorient him and threw him away. Both knew that they couldn't beat it by themselves and decided to flee, but the damn thing just started to chase them. Sutekina manages to draw a crude horse from mud and uses her semblance to make it come to life and they high tail it out of there. But Aleister falls off after a few minutes, but manages to wrap the chain to the saddle and now here he was. Being dragged while being chased by one angry grimm.

Aleister groaned as he felt his front torso burn on the ground as small stones hit and drag his torso. He reaches for his gun and carefully tries to shoot the grimm but it manages to dodge it.

Sutekina duck under a branch and swerve past a rock, dragging Aleister along with it, making him miss his shot. She did it again but this time Aleister didn't have time to react and collided to the second boulder and over it and nearly dropped his gun.

"Sorry!"

"Watch the fucking road!"

(With Cole and Nao)

As Cole and Nao walk through the forest they have finally discovered the temple. They smiled at each other, seeing the ancient looking area, and they could see the relics that they needed to pass.

"Hey!" A voice called out as the two looks at the direction that it came from, Nao releasing a smile as he saw Yang with her partner. "Looks like we aren't the first ones here." Yang chuckled as she punched Nao's arm, making him laugh as well. "You guys think that this is it?" Cole asked

"It's not like this area is difficult to find, though." Blake said, getting nods from the others. "Wait, Ruby's not with you? Nao said, getting a head shake from Yang. "No, I thought she was with you. Since I'm pretty sure that she would be your partner other than me. But i guess not" Yang said, getting a "Humm" from Nao.

"I'm sure she's fine. Besides, this is what she excels at, remember?" Nao reminds Yang "Which one? Inhaling cookies, saying unintentional innuendos, or weapon fantasizing?" Yang chuckled with a smirk on her face as she and Nao laughed.

"Come on guys." Cole motioned them and they nodded as they wondered what the relics would be. Once they were on there, they quickly noticed the temple was laying down several pillars, and on each pillars were holding the relics.

"Chess Pieces?" Cole wondered as each of them looked around and saw that there are chess pieces, but noticed some were missing. "Seems like the others got to it first." Blake concluded, getting her a nod from the others, before Yang pick up a golden Knight piece. ]

"How about a cute little pony?" Yang jokes, getting chuckles from the rest, while Nao looks at the black Bishop along with Cole and the two nodded to each other and picked it up. "Now What?" Nao Ask, but before anyone else could say anything Blake's voice has been voice out.

"guys.." The other look where she was pointing at and look up and immediately saw Ruby falling and wailing her arms. She was about to crash and die, but unexpectedly they saw Jaune was sent soaring through the air and colliding with the young Rose to the tree.

"...Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake-being the captain obvious of the group- stated as the rest are still processing on what happened. Soon not long after a series of events started to come to the group, as they heard a roar and explosion and a maniac-like laughter through the forest. They saw Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, came out from the now dead Ursa. Nora whining that it's broken, like a child who broke a toy, and Ren exhausted and panting. Before grabbing the gold Rook, and singing "Im Queen of the Castle" but Ren called her out as the four just stare at her.

"Did that girl just ride on an Ursa?"

"Umm.."

Next was Pyrrha running for her life as she was sprinting towards the valley as a giant Deathstalker burst through the woods as it tried to strike her with its claws.

"Did she just ran all the way here with a deathstalker on her tail?" Blake stated the fucking obvious of the situation with little to no enteusiasm. Cole just looks at the ravenette with a look, while Nao saw Yang was about to burst as she can't take anymore of the randomness that is happening. But before she could explode, they heard an ear piercing scream making them cover their ears, before they saw Sutekina and Aleister come out of the forest and soon the Echidna burst threw the scene.

The horse-riding faunus then take a swift turn to avoid an attack, but at the process flicking Aleister out towards the group, skidding to the ground, before hitting his back upon one of the pillars. The rest just looks at him for a second before giving their attention to Sutekina, who flip off the horse grabbing the chain at the process and quickly making her way towards the group.

"Did that girl just come here on a horse, while dragging her teammate on the ground and being chased by a grimm?" Again another remarked the obvious as the others just looks at her. While the pinkette just sweatdrops at the girl's monotone voice and expression.

"No shit, captain obvious..." Aleister groaned as he groggily got up as the others (except Yang) wince at his torso's condition. BIts of pieces of skin are peeled, and several stones are lodge into the flesh, while his entire torso is red and bleeding a bit and his hair was covered in dirt and blood. Aleister huff and puffs, while he gave Sutekina the one finger salute, which she returned back. They wanted to ask what happened but soon they heard a scream and a small explosion coming from Yang.

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! CAN WE JUST PROCESS ON WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE ANOTHER RANDOM THING WOULD APPEAR! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO LOSE IT!" Yang yelled, getting a few moments of silence between the group.

"someone's in her period"

"Oh Yang…"

"Damn...and a thought Jacob was bad when he was a kid" the others commented on their heads as they just waited in silence and for Yang to cool her head off.

"Uhh... guys…" Ruby said as she pointed up as the other followed the direction that she was pointing at. And they got their answer as they saw Weiss holding on to a Nevermore with just a hand.

"How could you leave me!?" Weiss screamed while holding on for dear life.

"I said jump."

"I don't think she can hold much longer" Cole said, concerned for the girl.

"She'll be fine" Ruby lamely dismissed it.

"Aaand she's falling" ren said

"Think we should help her?" Nao voices his opinion

"Nah, like she said, the schnee would be fine" Sutekina dismissed, with a slight, unnoticeable grin on her face as she saw the schnee's predicament. Don't get her wrong she does hold some concern to the girls well-being, though it was a little. She wasn't a heartless monster to wish on someone's deaths, it's not her style. She's the more fun loving kind of gal that wants to get along with everyone. She may hate the schnee's but that doesn't mean she wants death to them.

"You guys are going to the funeral when she dies? That is if we manage to recover what's left of the corpse that is" Aleister commented with a nonchalant tone and look, while looking at the girl's situation

"Really dude?." Nao call out as the others as they look at Aleister

"What, I'm just being honest." Aleister said since Aura could protect you, but it won't save you from a four hundred foot drop. The rest saw that Jaune jumped up and was able to catch Weiss and acting cool about it, but instantly regretted it as gravity sent them both down the ground, Weiss managing to land on top of the blonde knight. Breaking his back. Then Pyrrha came dash to the group and would have fallen onto her face if not for Aleister who caught her.

"Hey you ok P?" Aleister asked "Yes I'm fine, thank you" Pyrrha said but wide eyed as she saw Aleister's condition. "Oh my Oum, Aleister what happened to you! How did this happen, and it's that BLOOD!" Pyrrha panicked as she was checking ALeister from head to toe as the others just watched on as they saw the champion act like a mother hen. Aleister just grabs her hands and looks at her.

"Pyrrha I'm fine it's not my blood." Aleister dismissed her concern but she wasn't having it. "Well, most of it" he added "How could you get this condition, why didn't your aura protect you?" Pyrrha ask as Sutekina was looking at him and remember that he was deeply banged up back at the pit and the next moment she saw that he was good as new. Aleister saw this and cursed in his thoughts, before turning to Pyrrha.

"Pyrrha look, just forget ok, right now we have other things to worry about" Aleister said as he faced Grimm. Pyrrha reluctantly nodded and they heard the Deathstalker screech and also the Echidna.

"What kind of Grimm is that?" Pyrrha ask as she mentioned the Echidna "Don't know, but it's pissed" Aleister said as he and the others prepare for the attack.

"What are we going to do?" Cole asks Getting a Smirk on Ruby "leave that to me" but before she could go Nao grabs her shoulder stopping her. "Ruby don't" he told her as the young Rose looked at him with a bit incredulous look. "Why?" Ruby asked

"We can't just keep charging into fights like that Rubes. The goal is right there so there's no need to fight them. And by the look of things I don't think our new guess is in a peaceful mood" Nao commented as he looked at the Echidna. He felt something off about this Grimm, something different then the other two. And he would be damn if he's going to get Ruby hurt by just charging head first into a battle.

"But we coul-" She tried to protest but was cut off by Weiss. "Why can't you just listen for once you dolt!?" Weiss shouted as she came with annoyance, getting Ruby to fell silent as the others look at her. "Why can't you just listen for once! Look at those monsters there." Weiss mentioned the Grimm "We have a Deathstalker, a Nevermore, and whatever that thing that these two brought!" she pointed at Aleister and Sutekina "Do you seriously think that you can take them all by just attacking them head on? It's that all you think about when you're in the field? Action first and hoping for the best without a plan? I'm surprised that you manage to get this far with how you act!" Weiss berated Ruby as the young Rose lok down at the ground.

Weiss is sick and tired of Ruby's antics.

"Hey come on back off on her" Yang defended her sister as her red eyes looks at the Schnee. "Like it's gonna matter to her anyway, bet she would just get daddy dearest to do her dirty work for her. Typical Snchee's" Sutekina scoff as Weiss's attention shifted towards her.

"Do NOT bring my father in this," Weiss said as she and the Faunus came face to face. "Oh? Did I strike a nerve? Is the wittle princess gonna throw a Wittle tantrum?" Sutekina mock making the heiress growl.

"Guys come on…" Jaune said as he saw that the Grimm are facing them, but also strangely watching them as well and not attacking. The last thing he wants in being dead, and he is not the only one.

"Sute that's enough," Cole said as he went between the two. But that matter little to the two as Weiss went in closer the the pinkette archer "Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong Faunus" Weiss fires back "it's bad enough that I have to deal with the dolt, but to have someone like you pry into my personal life is pushing it."

"What is that supposed to mean…."

"It means that I have had enough bad things happen to me, not just that the company has to suffer with these absurd rumors floating around, but I have to deal with the likes of you!"

"I would rather be a Faunus than a daughter of a slave driver, that get what she wanted and act like a damn child when thing don't go her way" Sutekina counters

"Don't you ever associate me or the Schnee legacy of that of a low-life scum!" Weiss shouted with fury. How dare this-this insolent vertebrate try and tarnish the schnee name. As the fight between Schnee and Faunus continues, the others try to get them to stop, though Aleister just looks on to them and the Grimm.

And again strangely enough the Grimm are just looking on. Like it just watching who will throw the first punch as he started to feel them getting hungrier. It doesn't help that if they don't stop now then their situation will worsen and they will certainly die.

" you insolent little BITCH!"

" you illegal immigrant!"

"Spoiled brat!"

"Antimorphic neanderthal!"

"You-"

"WOULD BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE A SLIT YOUR FUCKING TOUNGES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH'S AND SHOVE THEM IN YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLES!" Aleister roared in irritation and a slight anger surprising the group at the amount of range and how deep his voice was that his voice sounded demonic-like. Weiss and Sutekina just stared at him like deer On headlights as everything felt dead silent, and Pyrrha look at him with shock and disappointment.

"As much as I want to see you guys rip each others necks out, but in case you guys forgot, we have other things to worry about and I want to get this over with and head down to a bar and want to waste my ass off" Aleister explained as he mention towards the Grimm, before drawing out his pistols and look at them.

"You guys can settle with each other back to Beacon, or before I do something that I would regret…" Aleister threatened, positioning one of his pistols to his head and acting as it went off. Giving them a clear picture on what he would do. Jaun looks scared, Nao and Cole look a bit disturbed but understand, Blake looks at him with a bit of a haunted look, reminding her of a certain bull faunus. Yang whistled as she comforted Ruby, and Pyrrha looked at him with some concern, not able this side of Aleister before. Well, to her at least. Sutekina and Weiss just remained silent at the thought before they looked at each other and released a huff (weiss) and a click of her tongue (Sutekina). Aleister sighs as he grabs a Bishop and tossed it to his partner. Giving her a nod and they ran towards the temple.

The Echidna screech as well as the Deathstalker as they chase down the group of teens. The teens all take cover to some nearby pillars as they had their weapons drawn.

"Oh great…" Yang said as the other saw the Nevermore had taken its territory to the ruined castle (or temple?) as it released a loud screech. The others heard both Echidna and Deathstalker came rushing through the forest.

"RUN!" Shouted Cole. They try to make but Ren quickly notices that the Nevermore tried to intervene by shooting it's feathers to the gang, as they swiftly avoid the attack. Though it did slow them down a bit as the Echidna gave a screech as it tried to swipe Jaune in half, but was quickly intercepted by Blake and Ren before the Echidna bone hair covers the face as it deflects a feather of the Nevermore out. The Echidna roars as it turn its attention towards Nao, who uses his semblance to throw another feather at it like a javelin but once again the snake-woman Grimm dodges it, before using its tail to swipe the two ravenette's who fired round of their respective weapons. Just at the last second they both jump out of the way as Ren continues to fire as they ran away, angering the grim further.

Upon the Deathstalker, the grimm tried to get one of the students but they keep managing to dodge. Pyrrha fires several shots, before rolling out of the way, as Yang delivers several shells, as Cole charges forward, dodging the claws as he hops on the Deathstalker and stabs one of the eyes, activating an electricity dust shocking the Grimm before hopping away. Back to the Echidna, it road in fury is using it's surrounding to the teens. It grabs a piece of the temple and chuck it toward Ren and Blake. Both manage to dodge it, but get separated a bit.

"Watch out!" Ren shouted as he shove Blake out of the way and was soon hit by the Echidna's tail launching him back a few feet away, near Nao who quickly picks him up and continues to run with the other. Aleister notices the Echidna was about to attack Blake, before he charges at the grimm, teleporting on one of the ruin temples and jumping off of it and delivering an axe kick to the Grimms's head. The Grimm screech in pain as Aleister quickly grabs Blake and teleports thirteen Meters away from the Grimm.

"Thanks," Blake said, getting Aleister to nod as both continued to run. Aleister pulls out his guns, and fires several rounds in his pistols, before hearing several clicks.

"Shit I'm out!" He cures as he and Blake Run for it.

Sutekina and the other manage to make it to the rest of the ruined temple/castle. She takes a few moments as she looks to the edge before turning her attention to the Deathstalker. She quickly draws on her arm an explosive arrows, taking her bow out before firing. Nora saw this as well as Pyrrha, and the two girls started firing. The grimm Screech at pain before feeling both Aleister and Blake jumps over it as they both dodge it's claws.

"You two alright?" Pyrrha asks, getting a nod from both, before diverting her attention back to the Deathstalker.

"Where's Ren?" Nora asked before she saw her childhood friend was ok with Nao. Nao and Yang were about to help out but out of nowhere, the Echidna suddenly grabs Nao and flings him hard to the left side of the temple.

"NAO!" Yang cried as her eyes turned red with anger as she charges to the Echidna. She slides underneath a claw slash, firing out shells to the mid section. She then delivers several punches as she let out a war cry and then delivers it with an uppercut. But dury her rage-filled period she didn't realize it's tail coming behind her and quickly wraps her leg before slamming her down to the ground twice and was thrown past Ruby and Weiss.

"Yang!" Ruby exclaimed as she unsheathed her scythe and charged to the grim.

"Ruby wait-" Wies tried to stop her but it was too late as Ruby was suddenly knocked to the side by the Grimm, and Weiss was about to help her but soon the Nevermore went in and bash to the stone bridge apart and make both Weiss and Ruby fall. Thinking quickly the two then look at each other for a brief moment and grab each other's hand. Ruby begins to react first, uses Crescent Rose launching them up, while Weiss uses her Glimpse to create platforms and uses her arms to swing Ruby above her and vice versa and landing next to Yang.

They were about to attack again but then the Echidna turns its back and immediately catch Aleister mid air before charging underneath and slamming him through the pillars.

( Moment earlier)

Back on the Deathstalker, Aleister, Cole and Blake were attacking the Grimm in close range while the others are providing cover fire. Cole then went in between the claws of the Grimm, before shooting Marlboro on the underside of the Grimm. Aleister then teleported to the tail before stabbing the gold tip repeatedly. The Deathstalker screams in fury and pain as Cole flips over and grabs Radeon and stabs it to one of the eyes. This just angers the beast further as it suddenly knocks Blake out of the area and flings Aleister toward the Echidna.

(End)

"Aleister!" Pyrrha shouted, taking her eyes off of the Grimm for a moment but it almost caused her as the Deathstalker uses its stinger towards her. She would've been impaled if it weren't for jaune deflecting it.

"Thanks," Pyrrha said to Jaune, as she was grateful for the save. "Don't mention it" The blonde smiled. Before they heard a screech again as the Grim uses it's stinger to them and pushing them back. But Nora accidentally bump into Blake knocking her off the edge. While simultaneously manages to knock Cole off of it and to the edge. Sutekina didn't twice as she quickly dive into the edge, activating her glyder and manages to catch Cole. She was about to do the same for Blake but saw that she managed to use her weapon as a grappling hook and went towards the rest of the other side. She quickly went back to the task and went to the left wing of the temple.

Noa groan as he got up. After being thrown to the wall by the Echidna he felt a few of his ribs fractured and the wind knock out of him. He then heard an engine and saw that Cole and Sutekina landed on his side.

"You guys alright?" Nao ask, getting the two to nod in confirmation. Then they suddenly heard a screech and walls being busted as they saw the Echidna burst through the stone wall with Aleister on its grasp, before being thrown to the rest. The red head skidded across the stone bridge before being caught by Nao. The red head groan in pain as he felt several of his ribs broken, his chest burn like hell, and spine broken. He cough a bit of blood before looking at Nao.

"Thanks... I swear that god hates me" Aleister released a short chuckle with no humor in it, before prying himself off of the white coat. The rest just looked concerned as he tried to balance himself, nearly falling down but was able to catch himself. He growled as he glare at the snake Grimm and pulls out a piece of raw flesh, taking bites of it and feel his energy getting back.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" Cole asked him, never taking his eyes off to the Grimm. Getting a small, dry chuckle out of the red head.

"Yeah...I'm gonna need to repay the favor that bitch did to me. Hey." Aleister calls out to his partner who looks at him.

"I'm out of ammo. I need some right about now. 45 magnum" Aleister said, getting Sutekina to nod as the rest of them looked at the Grimm, who released a loud screech.
