RWBY: Lost and Forgotten

Chapter 19

Chrome

Me and my team walked around the festival grounds, waiting for our match to begin. "Chrome!" I turned around and was greeted by Yang and her team.

"Hey, girls." I greeted. "What's up?"

"We just got out from our match." Weiss replied. "We were just about-"

"Did you see us out there?!" Ruby interrupted.

"Yeah. You guys were awesome." I looked at the group. "So, I'm guessing you guys are going out for some victory food?"

"Yeah, want to join us?" Ruby asked.

"We'd love to, but-"

"Will Team CRMN please report to the arena for their fight?" Oobleck asked over the coms.

"-our fight starts soon." Nicci finished.

"Oh. Well, good luck in the fight!" Ruby waved as we started heading for the arena.

It didn't take long to reach the coliseum and walk into the center of the stage as our opponents did the same. "For our next match, we have Team CRMN from Beacon!" Port said. "These four Faunus are sure to put up a nice and daring fight!"

"Wait, four?" I looked to River, who just smiled as he held up his left hand, claws overlapping his fingernails. "Huh."

"And their opponents are the lovely ladies from Atlas! Team AMBR!" I looked to see the four girls with their weapons drawn. One had a pair of nun-chucks. One had a sniper. Another had twin swords. And the last had a spear. "These four ladies will put Team CRMN to the test!"

"Well, that's encouraging." Nicci said as she rolled her eyes.

The stages began their randomization process.

Behind my team was the ruins of a city and behind our opponent's was the ocean and a shipwreck. "This should be fun."

"3...2...1...begin!"

The sniper on the enemy team rushed back and began climbing to the crow's nest of the ship. River tried to follow but was knocked back by the girl with the spear.

"Not so fast." she smiled.

River quickly got to his feet as I rushed to help him. Just as I neared him, the girl with the swords jumped in my way. "You wouldn't mind fighting me, would ya?" she asked. "Not that often I get to practice sword fights." she immediately slashed at me, which I blocked using my swords.

Jumping back for some distance, I heard a shot ring out and looked over to see Maya dodge out of the way as another shot hit in front of her feet.

"Better focus!" the girl rushed me and the two of us engaged in a sword fight. Pulling my leg back, I kicked her in the stomach, causing her to fall onto her back.

"Get to the building!" I shouted to my team as sniper fire continued to rain down on us. The four of us turned around, heading for the building, and continuing to dodge the sniper's shots. Reaching the ruined structure, the four of us jumped over some fallen debris for cover. Pulling out a magazine filled with dust rounds, that Weiss had given me, I loaded it into one of my weapons.

"What's the plan?" Maya asked.

"We need that sniper out of that nest!" I peeked over the debris but quickly ducked back down as the sniper shot at me.

"I can take care of her as long as you keep-" River was interrupted when our opponents jumped over our cover and began fighting us.

This time, the girl with the spear fought me.

"River, go!" I shot a beam of light under him when I had the time, creating a golden glyph. Absorbing the glyph, River ran towards the shipwreck with blinding speed.

"Ooh, a clever move!" Port said. "Chrome is using his semblance to give his partner a boost in agility!"

"Yes, yes! While similar to Miss Schnee's semblance, Chrome is able to shoot icicles, and use dust with his glyphs, giving them an elemental affect!" Oobleck added.

Ducking under the spear, I rushed passed her and cut my blade across her chest. Turning around and slicing her back, I kicked her legs out from under her, following it up by bringing my weapon down on top of her.

"Ooh, and with that, Brass Qwin is down and out, making it a four on three!" Port said.

Looking over to the crow's nest, I saw River engage with the sniper.

Hearing a buzzing noise, I looked up to the board to see Maya's aura had drained into the red. "Back to a Three v. Three!" Port said.

Hearing the sound of metal scraping, I turned around just as the girl with the swords reached me. Dodging to the side, she missed her attack.

"You should try to be less noisy." I pulled my arm back and swung my weapon at her. She blocked it and the two of us ended in a lock. "You might have landed your hit if you were."

"Thanks for the advice." she broke the lock and tried to knock me back. Ready for her attack, I blocked her sword and pressed the barrel of my gun against her shoulder, shooting her.

She stumbled back as I created two glyphs to her sides, launching two icicles at her and finishing off her aura. Hearing three more buzzes, I looked to the board to see the rest of team AMBR was in the red. "Ooh, triple wammy!" Port said. "What a match! Team CRMN is victorious!"

Me and my team reunited for our victory. "So." Nicci said. "Anyone else hungry?"

Minutes later

We sat at some noodle stand. "What kind of-" Maya was cut off as the man behind the counter slid a large bowl of noodles front of her. "-oh...okay..."

"Is there-" Nicci was also silenced when the man slid another bowl of noodles in front of her as well.

"I guess I'll order the same?" River shrugged. The man slid a bowl of noodles in front of him.

The man then looked at me and just smiled. Rushing into the back, I could hear pots and pans rattle before he came back out. He slid a bowl of noodles in front of me, but, this time, the noodles were covered in fish.

I could feel myself start to drool but quickly snapped myself back into reality. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out some Lien to pay for the meals. "Thanks, Chrome." River said as he started to eat.

"Yeah, thanks!" Maya smiled.

"No problem." I began eating my meal as well.

It didn't take us long to finish. "So, what now?" Maya asked.

"Would Team JNPR please report to the battlegrounds immediately!" Port said over coms.

"Yes! Like they were scheduled to, several minutes ago!" Oobleck added.

"We could watch some fights." I told my team.

"Alright!" Maya cheered.

Heading back to the coliseum, we found some open seats in the second row, behind Team RWBY. Seeing a seat next to Yang was open, I glanced at my team. "Mind if I sit in the front row?" I asked them.

"Go ahead." River replied.

"Thanks." hopping over the seats, I landed in the spot next to Yang.

"Chrome!" Yang said happily. "I saw your fight. Good work out there!"

"You're still much better than me." I told her. "I got some catching up to do."

"I could always train you." she smiled.

"I might take you up on that."

"3...2...1...begin!" looking to the arena, we watched the fight between JNPR and BRNZ.

Minutes later

JNPR won by having Nora use her hammer to knock the enemy team out of bounds. After their fight, it was Sun and his team again Team NDGO. It was a bit close, but Neptune used his weapon to shock the three ladies and win the match. Turns out, Neptune has a fear of water.

As he and Sun celebrated their victory, I saw Sun shoot finger guns at Blake, who immediately blushed. "Come on, let's go congratulate 'em." Yang said as she stood up.

Getting up, I went to follow Yang out of the coliseum, but ran into Ruby, who apparently ran into Weiss. "Uh, what are you viewing?" Ruby asked her teammate.

Looking over Ruby's shoulder, I saw Weiss staring at the sky. Following her gaze, I saw an airship, with ribbons attached to the wings, fly overhead. "She's here!"

End of chapter 19

(Sorry for skipping over the fights but there's no way I can make them as cool as they were in the show. Again, I highly recommend watching the show if you haven't already. Then again, why would you be reading this if you hadn't? Anywho...later!)
