RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 18
Chrome
Heading towards Vale in a bullhead, I could see countless Grimm destroying buildings. "The hell happened here?" River asked.
Looking around at the destruction, my eyes landed on Team RWBY standing in the middle. "I have a feeling they have something to do with this." I said, pointing at the four girls. "Come on!"
The four of us jumped to the ground below. Rolling to my feet, I pulled the release on my weapons and threw the blades at a nearby Beowolf. They cut the Grimm clean in half as I called them back. My team spread out and started killing Grimm as I did the same.
Hearing a growl, I turned around to see an Alpha Ursa pull it's arm back for an attack. I tried to block the giant Grimm, but the force of the impact launched me across the ground. Rolling to a stop, I saw the Grimm on all fours, rushing towards me. Just as it reached me, it suddenly stopped and started turning to dust.
Once the dust finally settled, I saw Yang standing behind where it stood, a smirk on her face. "You know, you should probably be more careful."
She walked over and helped me to my feet. "Thanks."
She smiled before turning around and heading off to kill more Grimm.
Hearing another growl come from behind me, I quickly spun around and sliced clean through a Beowolf's neck, decapitating it. As it turned to dust, another half dozen Beowolves rushed me.
Creating a glyph under me, I used it to launch myself forward, slicing at a Beowolf as I passed by. Quickly using another glyph, I rushed towards another Beowolf, slashing my blades through it. Pulling the lever on one of my hilts, I turned around and threw the blade at a Beowolf as I used my second weapon to simultaneously cut through another's neck.
Creating two glyphs under the final Beowolves, I summoned ice spikes that impaled the beasts. Watching as they turned to dust, I recalled my blade which quickly attached itself to the hilt.
Hearing a cry for help, I looked over and saw a woman running from a group of Grimm. They were too close for me to rescue her in time, so instead, I summoned a glyph under the woman and used it to pull her to me.
Catching her, she looked around before her eyes met mine. "Thank you!"
I let her go as the Grimm that were chasing her turned to me. "Find somewhere to hide, and try to keep yourself calm."
She turned around and ran off as I readied myself.
Just as the first Grimm reached me, I pulled my arm back to strike but stopped when, out of nowhere, Yang slammed into it. Getting to her feet, she turned to me with a smirk. "You know, I can handle myself." I told her.
"I know. I just didn't want you to have all the fun." she replied.
"Fun, huh?" I aimed my gun at the Beowolf that was rushing up behind her. Pulling the trigger, the Grimm fell to the groud, dead. "Alright, bet I can kill more Grimm than you."
"You're on!"
Yang ran towards the other Grimm that were rushing us. "Oh, no you don't!" using a glyph, I dashed passed her and sunk my blades into the chest of a Beowolf.
Once it turned to dust, I felt something press against my back before pushing off. Looking up, I saw Yang in the air. Shooting her gauntlets for more speed, she slammed herself into a Beowolf, instantly turning it to dust.
As she stood up, she turned to look at me. "Score for Yang!" she smiled. "I'm up one."
"Where did you learn to count? We're even!"
"Style points always count." she turned to the other Beowolves.
"Style points, huh?" I smirked. "Alright then." tossing my right weapon into the air, I caught it in a reverse grip. Using my semblance, I rushed towards an Ursa. Slashing passed it with a spin, I created a glyph in front of me. Pressing my feet against it, I pushed off and speared my left weapon into the Ursa.
Pulling the lever and detaching the blade, I slid under the Ursa as it swung at me, and did a backwards somersault to get some distance. Tossing my second weapon into the air, I jumped up and kicked the bottom of the hilt, sending the blade into the Grimm, a move I learned from Adam.
Recalling my left blade, it came spinning through the Grimm and attached to the hilt, finally killing the Ursa. Looking back to Yang, I saw her staring at me. "What d'ya think? Maybe...ten points?"
She shook her head. "I was thinkin' five points. Showoff."
With a smirk, I went over and retrieved my second weapon, just as another Bullhead flew over us. Watching it, I saw Team CFVY jump out and land in the middle of the fight. A few Atlas ships also passed by, letting AK-200s jump out to assist us.
Within a few minutes, all of the Grimm were killed and Professor Goodwitch fixed the massive hole in the street. Looking around at the aftermath, I saw Roman Torchwick being escorted into an Atlas ship by a few AK-200s.
Feeling something hit my shoulder, I looked back to see Yang grinning. "Nice work out there."
"Yeah, well, you did good yourself." I smiled. "Some would say you were on fire."
Yang smiled. "That was so bad."
"I made you smile. So, mission accomplished."
"Yeah, you did. Here's your reward." she grabbed my shirt and pulled me into a kiss. Quickly relaxing into it, I placed my hands on her hips.
"Yang!" Ruby shouted.
Yang pulled away and looked at her team, who were all staring. "What?"
I rubbed the back of my head and gave a nervous smile.
Hours later, back in our team room
Goodwitch posted a notice that, because of what happened in Vale, ours missions were cancelled. We all got a grade for our help with the Grimm and can basically just relax until the festival.
"So, are we still going to train for the tournament?" Nicci asked.
"Yeah, but not right now." I took off my jacket and placed it in the corner before placing my weapons on my dresser. "I think we got all the practice we need for today...and maybe tomorrow as well."
"Good." River fell into his bed. "'Night guys."
Falling into my bed, I slowly let myself drift off.
