From up on the cliff, Glynda walked up to Ozpin, who was still looking out over the cliff. "Our last pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren." She said.
Back with us...
"Wait, his first name is Lie? I don't think I trust him." I said.
Back to them...
"Poor boy. I can't POSSIBLY imagine those two getting along." She said, watching them on the screen.
Back to us...
"Well, apparently they HAVE been friends for years and years." I said.
Back to them...
"Still, he's probably better off than Ms. Nikos." She said, flipping the screen to Pyrrha and Jaune.
"Hm?" Ozpin asked, looking at her a bit,
"I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this kind of combat." She said, turning off the screen.
Back with us...
"OH! She just DISSED HIM!" I said, falling to the ground, laughing.
Back with them...
"I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple in a few moments." She said, starting to walk away, then turned back. "Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?" She asked. He didn't answer here. "Professor Ozpin?" She asked. He merely made a 'Hm...' noise as he watch Ruby and Weiss on his screen.
With them...
"It's obvious it's this way!" Weiss said, walking to the right. Ruby was simply sitting on the ground, I think playing with grass. "I mean, this way! It's definitely this way!" Weiss said, walking the other way. She then walked back up to Ruby. "Alright. It's official. We passed it." She said.
"Why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we're going?" Ruby asked, standing up.
"Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going to... The forest temple!" She said.
Back with us...
"Really?" I asked, annoyed.
Back with them...
Ruby let out an annoyed groan as well. "Oh, stop it! You don't know where we are either!" Weiss said.
"Well, at least I'm not pretending like I know everything!" She countered.
Back with us...
"Ruby one. Weiss none." I said.
Back with them...
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Weiss demanded.
"It means your a big, stupid jerk and I hate you!" Ruby said, pointing at her.
Back with us...
"Ruby, 2. Weiss, 0.
Back with them...
Weiss let out a groan of her own now. "Just keep moving!" She said, walking off.
"*mocking Weiss*'Just keep moving! Hurry up! Waah, waah! Where are you going?' Why are you so bossy?" Ruby snapped.
"I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that!" She said, walking back.
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
"Stop ACTING like a kid!"
"Well, stop acting like you're perfect!"
"I'M. NOT. PERFECT! Not yet. But I'm still leagues better than you." Weiss said, finally walking off.
"You don't even know me..." Ruby said quietly to herself.
Back to us...
"Ruby, 2. Weiss, -1 because she's being a bitch again." I said.
So, what were we doing now? Oh, right, we were on our way to get the artifacts, right, okay. We were now en route to get the relic, my map telling me we were still the closest to the place where all the relics are, when suddenly, Draco stopped to check out a cave to our right. "Avast! My senses be telling me thar be treasure in that Starboard cave! Avast, we shall get some booty! Yar! Yar again!" He said in a pirate's accent, going over to the cave.
I sighed at this, but followed him. "Come on, we better make sure he doesn't hurt himself." I said.
He briefly vanished into the darkness of the cave, before getting knocked out, thrown to my feet. "How'd that work out for you, pretty good?" I asked, looking up. Then, single file, due to their size, a small ARMY of Ursai emerged from the cave, way bigger than your average one. This thing would probably scare Shaquille O'Niel or some other really, really tall person. A rough estimate, they'd be able to stand on their hind legs and easily look over the top of a single-story building.
"Jeez, what have these guys been eating? Actually, I don't think I wanna know." Damion said.
"I regret my decision." Draco said, getting up.
"Please tell me you have a plan?" Nicolas said to me.
"Of course I have a plan." I said, taking a few steps away, before taking off as fast as I could. "RUUUUUUN!" I screamed, the three of them quickly following, the army of Ursai close in-tow. "Oh, my gods, run-run-run! Continuing running!" I said. I was looking back to see if the guys were still keeping up and where the Ursai were, when suddenly I crashed into a wall. "Oh, who put that there?!" I demanded, pointing to it.
"Hey, I think this is the temple." Damion said.
"Yes, well, we found it thanks to my mastery in directions and locating stuff." I said. We walked around the wall and looked at the relics.
"Chess pieces?" Blake asked as her and Yang walked up, having come down from a cliff.
"Yeah, not exactly what I was expecting either." I said, scratching my head.
"Some of them are missing. Looks like we weren't the first ones here." Yang said.
"In that case I REALLY hope it's not a curve grading system." I said.
"I don't know, I've always liked the CURVE system." Yang said, running her hands along her curves, looking mostly at Damion.
"It is a nice system, isn't it?" He asked, getting closer.
"Oh, brother..." I said, shaking my head.
I think that's number 7 of the worst pick-up lines ever.
[Considering that was Damion, I'd move it to number 1]
With Pyrrha and Jaune...
They finally came across a cave. "You think this is it?" He asked (Ozpin said a temple, not a cave!). They continued in, looking around.
"I'm not sure this is it." She said.
"Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for maybe 5 more feet?" He asked. Then, he tripped and dropped the torch in a puddle of water, extinguishing it, leaving them in the dark. The sarcastic clapping could be heard again at that moment.
"Do you... Feel that?" She asked.
"Soul-crushing regret?" He asked.
"No, it's... warm." She said.
Back with us...
I scanned the pieces left, picking up the black queen piece. "Well, I have two white queens back home, so I think we'll take the black one." I said.
"Why do I get the feeling that's a racist joke?" Draco asked.
"Silence! I keel you!" I snapped. "And no, it's not, it's a fact. Lady and Moka are white, they're my queens and their back home." I said matter-of-factly.
"How about a cute little pony?" Yang asked Blake, holding up a white knight piece.
"Sure." She said simply.
"It's not as cute as you, though." Damion said to Yang, causing her to blush and play with her hair.
"Easy, there, Romeo." I said, but backed away once he glared at me. "Hey, go nuts." I said, moving away.
"That wasn't too hard!" Yang said.
"That's what she said!" Nicolas laughed, until Damion was right in his face.
"One more time, I swear to god!" Damion snapped.
"I'm sorry!" He said.
"Well, it's not like this place was very hard to find." Blake said.
Back with Pyrrha and Jaune...
They followed the warmness until they say what looked like a glowing crescent. "That's the relic!" Jaune said, reaching for it, but then it moved. "Hey! Bad... relic." He said, reaching again, but it moved again. He kept trying, eventually lunging and grabbing it with both hands. "Gotcha!" He said.
"Jaune..." Pyrrha said worriedly.
Jaune was then lifted into the air, coming face-to-face with 6 eyes and a set of claws.
A high-pitched scream filled the entire forest...
"Some girl's in trouble!" Yang said.
"Or an incredibly sissy-ass guy." I said.
"There is one of those in this anime, right?" Draco asked.
"There are quite a few introduced later." Damion said, refering to team CDNL (cardinal).
"Yeah, but I could've sworn there was one in it NOW we've been picking on for a bit." Nicolas said.
"Yeah, I think you're right, but I can't remember his name. He must not be important enough." I said, continuing our little 'not caring' act.
"Blake, did you here that?" Yang asked.
Back to the cave...
Pyrrha ran out of the cave as the girly screams continued inside of said cave. The Deathstalker then broke out of the cave with Jaune clinging onto its stinger for dear life. "Pyrrha! This is not the relic! It's not!" He whined. "Do something!" He pleaded.
"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-!" She started, but then it flung him off into the distance. "Go..." She said, no running from the giant scorpion for dear life.
Back with us...
"Blake, did you hear that?! What should we do?" Yang asked, looking in the girl's direction to see something that truly horrified her.
"Head's uuuuuuuuuuup!" Ruby screamed as she fell from the sky.
"I got it! I got it!" I said, putting on giant baseball glove and holding it up, from the angle, she'd land perfectly in the palm of my hand, pause tho. However, this would not happen as Jaune flew from nowhere and sent them both crashing into the higher branches of a tree. "Yeah, that works, too." I said, putting the glove away.
"Where did you get a glove that big?" Yang asked.
"I stole it from a Giant's game." I said.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked Yang.
"Uh..." Yang said, unsure.
"Not my sister, no." I said.
Speaking of her, she came rushing out of the woods at insane speeds, followed by the rest of her team, followed by an army of larger beowulves. "Run for your lives!" She said to her friends as they made it to where we were
"Good hustle." I said, nodding.
"Did those girls just get here with an army of beowulves chasing them?" Blake asked.
"Uh..." Yang asked.
Suddenly, we heard a roar and off to the side were the ursai that chased us here. "Is that an army of ursai?" She asked.
Yang was once again shocked by this. So I answered for her. "Yep." I said, nodding.
Suddenly, another large ursai came from the woods, already flailing around like it was attack, but then a blast of purple energy hit it in the back and it fell down. "Yee-ha!" Nora said as she rolled off its back. "Aw, it's broken." She said, inspecting it.
"Why didn't we think of that?" I asked.
"Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." Ren said as he panted from exhaustion. He then looked to where she was, revealing she was no longer there.
"Ooh..." She said, inspecting one of the white rook pieces.
"You know, this is somewhat reminding me of Highschool DxD with all the chess pieces." I said.
"At least it's not as perverted, though." Damion said.
"Right?" I asked.
Nora then picked up the rook piece and danced around a bit. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" She sang happily.
"Nora!" Ren called as she had the piece on her head.
She then saluted and giggled. "Coming, Ren." She said, tilting her head and making the piece fall, catching it and prancing back over to him.
"Did that girl just ride in on an ursai?" Blake asked, leaving Yang speechless once again.
Suddenly, we heard a new kind of roar and we looked to see Pyrrha running for her life with a Deathstalker right behind her. It struck at her with its claws twice, but the first time, she expertly hurrled in between the space of its claw and then rolled ahead of the next one, continuing to run. "Jaune!" She called.
"Pyrrha!" He said, then looked to see Ruby as she climbed up to the branch next to him. "Ruby!" He said.
"Whoa!" She said, breaking the branches that held him and quickly jumped down as he fell down, hitting all the branches on the way down.
"Okay, that was funny!" Draco laughed.
"Yeah, but now-" Damion started, but was interrupted when Ruby landed right beside Yang.
"Ruby?!" She asked happily.
"Yang!" The younger sister said happily. The two sisters were about to hug, but then-
"Nora!" Nora said, popping up in between them.
Pyrrha continued to run to where we were, the Deathstalker close in-tow.
Yang was getting furious and what Blake said next didn't help. "Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" She asked.
Finally Yang snapped at this, her hair glowing, red eyes turning red and fire shooting from her. "Oh, my gods, she's a super Saiyan!" I said.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Could everyone just chill out for 2 seconds before something crazy happens again?!" She demanded.
The 4 badasses then looked at our watches at this moment, raising the other hand, pointing one finger up as the 2nd second passed. Ruby then tapped Yang's arm a couple times. "Um... Yang?" Ruby asked, pointing to the sky as Yang dropped her head.
We now see that Weiss is hanging onto the talon of a Nevermore for dear life. "How could you leave me?!" She asked.
"How can you blame her." Serena said, her entire team nodding, despite Umbra and Naomi hadn't even met Weiss yet.
"I said jump." Ruby said.
"She's gonna fall." Blake said.
"She'll be fine." Ruby and I said at the same time.
"She's falling." Ren said.
"Now like I was saying earlier, now that Jaune is ground level, who's gonna save her now?" Damion asked.
After a few moments, everyone looked at me expectantly.
"What? WHAAAAT?!" I asked.
"Save her!" Everyone shouted at once.
I sighed at this. "Fine." I said, simply tossing a Poke'ball, releasing Snorlax directly underneath her. She bounced off its stomach and landed front-down on the ground. "Happy?" I asked, withdrawing it.
Pyrrha was finally hit by the Deathstalker, knocking her to our feet.
"Great. The gang's all here. Now we can die together!" Yang said.
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby said, rushing at the Deathstalker.
"Actually, yeah. As things stand right now, it's a pretty even fight." I said approvingly, looking at the oncoming armies of over-sized ursai and beowulves, then the Nevermore, then the Deathstalker.
Ruby fired a shot from Crescent Rose to boost her speed even more and got ready to hit it, but it struck her first with its claws, sending her back a ways. "Don't worry! Totally fine!" She said as she got up and fired a shot at it mainly to blast her back and give her a good head start as she ran from the titanic arachnid.
"Ruby!" Yang said as she ran in. However, now both of them were a target of the Nevermore. It let out a screech and fired its deadly feathers at them, stabbing Ruby's hood into the ground and pinning her in place and sending a number of feathers at Yang. One of them would've impaled her straight, through the chest, but-
"Look out!" Damion said as he dove at her, pushing her out of the way, saving her, but the feather stabbed his leg into the ground. "FUCK!" He shouted in pain.
"Badass down!" I said, ripping the feather out of the ground and his leg, healing him.
"Ruby, get out of there!" Yang called out to her.
"I'm trying!" She said, trying to pull her hood free. But at that moment, the Deathstalker approached and got ready to strike, but then both were distracted when they heard a distant noise increasing in speed and getting closer.
"Mine mine mine mine..."
"Hey, what is that?" She asked, looking around.
mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine..."
"It's getting closer... And it sounds an awful lot like-"
MineMineMineMineMineMineMineMineMine!" I shouted as I flew at the Deathstalker in my Super Saiyan form, breaking through all the Nevermore feathers as I flew in, slammed my head directly into the Deathstalker's face, sending it onto its hind legs and causing it to fall onto its back. "Mine." I said in a badass tone, easily breaking the Nevermore feather keeping Ruby pinned down. "Yeah, totally handled that better than Weiss." I said, nodding.
Yang then ran up and hugged Ruby tightly. "So happy you're okay!" She said happily.
"Now then. You guys go get your relics while I take care of business." I smirked, getting ready to fight.
Weiss walked up and put her hand on my shoulder briefly, but pulled it back when it burned her because of my Super Saiyan Swagger fire aura, but she managed to get my attention. "Look, there's no point in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." She said.
"She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's not point in fighting these things." She said.
"Run and live. That is an idea I can get behind." Jaune said.
"Y'all are bitches." I said, charging at the ursai army.
"Oh, please. You two always be behind in life if you can't learn how shut up and fight." Damion says, charging with me.
My team joined me in attacking them while everyone else grabbed an artifact and started to leave. They didn't make it too far before running into a wall of beowulves, though. "We'll handle this. They've been chasing us this whole time. Go." Serena said, pulling our her two smaller fans, hitting the buttons and swinging the blades, slashing through many of the beowulves and throwing the others aside for everyone else to run as the remaining beowulves surrounded her team.
Everyone else ran ahead, the Nevermore flying ahead of them all and blocking their path. "Well, that's great!" Yang said, annoyed. Jaune then looked back to see the Deathstalker crash through some trees, charging a them.
Back with us...
"Man, I'm glad I didn't run!" I said, slashing an ursai's face, killing it instantly.
"Yeah, we're going to town on these things!" Damion said, slicing 3 of them in half and shooting another 4 charging at him directly in the chest, killing them easily.
"You have not lived until you've killed an army of giant bear monsters!" Draco said, unloading on a small group of them, then rushing in and slicing into another big group of them.
"Yeah, we'll be eating good after this!" Nicolas said, smashing one, vaporizing 5 more with the laser part of the hammer. He then turned and smashed on behind him, but then another 2 came rushing in behind him.
Luckily for him, Damion shot them. "Watch your back!" Damion said, turning back just in time to see an ursai right in his face, but then it was killed and knocked away by a chain.
"Best heed your own advice, buddy!" I said.
The set-up was like this: I was in the middle of our little battlefield, covering the guys with my chains if the ursai overwhelmed them or caught them off-guard, killing the ones that got too close or targeted me from time to time. The others were just going to town murdering these things. "Now one of my favorite moves from the game Prototype!" I said, raising my hands into the air, stabbing them into the ground and sending up the chains from below, impaling dozens of ursai and sending many more flying.
"It's hammer time!" Nicolas said, smashing one with his hammer, then spinning at high-speeds in a circle, drawing in more ursai and sending them flying as soon as they met the business end of his hammer. "The way I move my body like a cyclone~ Come on bitches, I could do this all NIGHT long~" He sang a small parody of Cyclone.
"Time for the Berserker barrage!" Draco said as he slashed through anything in his path, then jumped into the air, sprouted his wings to keep him there and fired down on the ursai, using his blood to turn them from simple bullets to mortars. "Bloody bullet rain, bitches!" He laughed as he decimated them.
"Prepare to die!" Damion said darkly, filling his blade with some of his demonic energy, causing it to catch the elements of fire, lightning, and wind, to which he calls Death Slicer, making him and the blade glow with an intense and powerful aura. He then slashed a dozen times in the air. At that moment, deep slashes appeared in dozens of the ursai and every one that got hit dropped dead, some falling into pieces. "Weak!" He huffed.
We definitely made a dent in the numbers, but there were still many more. "Let's end this, guys." I said as we got ready to do our ultimate team combo.
"Now you're talking!" Draco said as he and Damion rushed at the ursai. They threw them all to a closer proximity to me and Nicolas as the latter ran around me in a circle in insane speeds, creating a much bigger and far more powerful tornado, pulling in the rest of the ursai, causing them to spiral around me as he cleared a safe distance.
"ULTIMATE HELLFIRE CYCLONE!" I shouted, blasting up a giant pillar of hellfire that engulfed the entirety of the tornado, completely incinerating all of the ursai at once.
"I think he got him." Draco said as soon as I finished the attack.
With Serena's team...
They were effectively eliminating the beowulves from any range. One rushed right at Umbra, ready to take a bite out of her, but she shove her naginata into its mouth and through the back of its head. She then ripped out her weapon and shot a ballistic knife at the next beowulf charging at her from 10 feet away. "Keep your distance, boys. I need a lot of personal space. And it's dangerous to get inside my bubble." She said in a sly/badass tone.
Naomi was more on the defensive side, blocking many attacks, forcing them back, then slicing the attackers in half. She also incorporated a lot of counters as well. One more charged at her, but she easily brought her massive sword down on it and sliced it in half, then holding the sword at her hip the way you would when holding a heavy gun. "Time to make some Swiss Cheese!" She said, the minigun spinning up and mowing down dozens of the beowulves at once.
"Rose Thorn Execution!" Selene announced, running through the the crowd of beowulves, a second later appearing back beside her team with her eyes closed. She then opened them and the damage she had done taking effect, at least 50 of the beowulves getting torn to shreds in a manner similar to vergil's Rapid Slash attack from DMC3. One then rushed at her and managed to knock away Killer Rose, then tried to pounce on her and take her to the ground, but she then pulled out a set of bladed tonfas and stabbed them into the beowulve's stomach, then pressing the trigger on the handles and blasting the already dead beowulf off the blades with the shotguns housed in the flat of the blades near the end. "Scum!" She snapped, blasting any more in close range and any that so much as looked like they were about to get close.
Out of all their expert killing, though, Serena was the only one truly elegant about it, literally dancing around the monsters as she dodged their attacks and killed them. She even incorporated ballet moves as she fought, such as spinning with one leg out like a spinning top of death to kick them in the head, shattering their skulls or even taking their heads off (Vampire strength), or spinning with both feet down and the blades of her fans out, easily slicing through a larger number of them. She even did something of a barrel roll in mid-air, slicing more of them, catching some in the back of the head with the blades or taking their heads off. A small group surrounded her as she landed, 3 in front charging right at her, but she pulled out her giant fan, blasted the bazooka to launch her out of harm's way and into the air, killing the first two beowulves simultaneously, the third one was behind them, so it survived THAT attack. It was then killed when Serena swapped out the big fan for the two small one again, shot the blades from both into its chest and reeling herself back in, then slicing out to the sides and pressing the button to release the blades again, ripping the impaled beowulf in half and because of the wide angle, the blades going around and slicing the rest of the surrounding beowulves in half.
"There's too many!" Naomi said as she was struggling against two beowulves trying to get her past her sword.
"We have to finish this NOW!" Umbra said, slicing the two beaowulves in half vertically and shooting another knife at a beowulf just behind her.
"Serena, do you have a plan?!" Selene asked.
Serena quickly looked around, but then came up with an answer. "Yes." She said confidently.
After a very quick explanation, Selene and Umbra rushed out, shaved the numbers down quickly and knocked the rest of them back into the middle where Serena already waited. She stabbed the two beowulves farthest to the sides, hit the buttons to release the blades, handed the fans to Umbra and Selene and jumped back. The two quickly ran around the beowulves, trapping them all in place now, tied up and leaving them as helpless as fish in a barrel for Naomi to load them up with bullets, finishing and ensuring they were all dead by decapitating them all after Selene and Umbra ducked. "Well, I'd say that this is all... Wrapped up." Serena joked as she got her fans back.
Selene smiled at this, but rolled her eyes. "Maybe you should leave the puns to Yang." She said.
With the original anime characters...
They ran from the Deathstalker and towards the Nevermore, except Nora and Ren (briefly). "Nora! Distract it!" Ren said. The two then ran outwards and Nora hurdled over the feathers, then pulled out her weapon: A grenade launcher and continuously fired at it, managing once to shoot it in the face, causing it to fly off. The Deathstalker then cam up behind her, but it was stopped from attacking by Blake and Ren, Weiss then landed beside and grabbed Nora, jumping away with a glyph to power the jump.
Pyrrha then turned around to see the Deathstalker getting way too close to Blake and Ren as they ran, stopping and turning her spear into the rifle. "Go, go!" She said, crouching and firing at it, Ren jumping, rolling to land beside her and assisting in firing at it as Blake jumped to safety. As the group was running across the bridge, however, the Nevermore came back and smashed through the bridge, separating the group: Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora and Jaune landing on the side near the cliff, Pyrrha, Blakde and Ren trapped on the other side with the Deathstalker, Blake getting knocked to the ground.
"Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!" Jaune said.
"Wow, he's becoming smart and useful." I said as mine and Serena's team came up to them.
"How dare you hit Blake, you bastard! I'm 'onna kill you!" Nicolas said, rushing in, ripping one of its legs off and using it to slash its stinger, making it loose before he was knocked away.
"No. This isn't our fight. We'll provide cover, but only when needed." I said to everyone, helping him up.
"Let's do this!" Nora said, stepping up beside Jaune.
"Yeah, but, I can't make that jump." He said. She got a mischievous smirk, knocked him down and turned the grenade launcher into a hammer with the launcher still on the hammer, spinning it around, turning and jumping into the air. "No, wait!" He said. Too late, she smashed the hammer down on the bridge, destroying the section they were on and launching Jaune over to the other side. "No, no, no!" He said as he flew over. She then prepared, fired and launched herself over, smashing the Deathstalker in the head with a battle cry I don't think was actual words. She then fired again as it prepared to strike her, blasting herself back.
Unfortunately, she couldn't stop herself in time before bumping into Blake, sending her over the edge into the ravine. "No! Hold on, Blake, I'm coming!" Nicolas said, rushing in at intense speeds, diving down, grabbing her and firing his ray gun downward, sending them back up like something of a jetpack.
"Drop me down with them!" She said, pointing to Ruby, Weiss and Yang. He did so, then came back to us.
"Nicely done." I said, nodding.
"It's tougher than it looks." Blake said.
"Then let's hit it with everything we've got!" Yang said as she readied the guns of her gauntlets and everyone else switched their weapons to fight at a distance. They gave it everything they had, but that didn't stop it and it crashed through the thing they were standing on, causing them to have to maneuver back up from the falling debris.
"Okay, let's stop for a second here: I get that it's giant, but it's still a bird. It shouldn't be able to smash through things like that so easily and take no damage." I criticized.
"Well, like she said: It's tougher than it looks." Damion said.
"None of this is working." Weiss said.
Ruby looked around, then got an idea. "I have a plan. Cover me!" She said, launching herself off as Weiss rushed in.
Back with Jaune's team...
The Deathstalker ripped its tail out of the section of the bridge it stabbed it in after missing Nora, breaking it and causing it to start to fall. "We've gotta move!" Ren said as they rushed off the soon-to-fall bridge section, towards the scorpion monster. It swung its left claw at them, but Pyrrha blocked it and stabbed it with her spear. It then raised its right claw and swung at her, but Jaune surprisingly managed to block it and allowed Pyrrha to strike that claw, causing it visible pain... Or anger, I can't really tell which. Ren then ran in, dodged a strike from its tail, grabbed and held onto the stinger, shooting at its body. Nora then stopped and fired her grenade launcher at it, but it forced Jaune and Pyrrha back, blocking the strike with its claws to prevent harm to its face. However, it didn't completely protect itself, as after Nora stopped firing, it opened itself up and Pyrrha through her spear straight into its bottom left eye, causing it to scream in pain, throwing Ren off its tail.
"Ren!" Nora said as he went flying and slammed into a stone pillar, falling to the ground.
Jaune then got up and noticed that the stinger had become weak, barely attached to the rest of the tail due to all the stress it had taken that day. He then got a plan.
"Pyrrha!" He said.
"Done!" She said, realizing his plan, throwing her shield Captain America style to sever its stinger, which fell and stabbed into its back, the shield bouncing off a nearby stone pillar and falling back to Pyrrha.
"Wow, screw Cap's mighty shield, I like hers better right now." I said.
"Nora, nail it!" Jaune told her.
"Head's up!" She said, jumping, Pyrrha using her shield as a platform, Nora launching herself into the air, briefly admiring her hight altitude, then firing to send herself back down at high speeds, slamming her hammer down on the stinger, bashing it into the Deathstalker's body and destroying the rest of the bridge, launching Jaune and Pyrrha to safety. She then fired one final time to get herself to safety as the bridge and the Deathstalker fell into the depths of the ravine, Jaune landing on the ground face-down, Nora gently landing on her butt, Pyrrha landing like a badass in a similar pose to Iron Man and Ren walking back over to the group, only to fall back down to the ground, though I guess you can't blame him after getting flung into a wall.
"Well, if that last attack didn't kill it, the fall certainly will." I said.
We all then turned our attention to Ruby's team as they attempted to bring down the Nevermore, missing most of the time they were shooting at it. However, Yang managed to shoot it in the face, catching it off-guard and causing it to target her, flying at her and opening its mouth like it was gonna eat her. She then jumped at it, landing in its mouth and holding it open with one hand, continuously firing into its mouth. "I hope your hungry!" She said angrily as she fired. She then jumped off and apparently it was dazed or something by her assault, as it flew and crashed straight into the cliff wall, falling and landing on some type of shrine below. It roared in anger and Weiss then rushed in as Yang ran back to where Ruby and Blake were now in position. Weiss landed just underneath of the giant raven, freezing the end of its tail in place and preventing it from moving, then ran back to fill her part in Ruby's plan. Blake got out the Kusari-gama part of her weapon and tossed it to Yang, as the two were on pillars on opposite sides of each other, Yang stabbing the sickle into her pillar and pulling it tight. Ruby then landed on the rope or wired on her weapon, making it like a sling-shot or rubber band launcer, Weiss creating a glyph Ruby backed into, turning it black before she entered it.
"Of course you would come up with this idea." She said.
"Think you can make the shot?" Ruby asked.
"Can I." Weiss replied confidently.
Ruby however, didn't catch the confidence and looked at her in concern. "Can you?" She asked.
"Of course I can!" Weiss said. She then turned the glyph red and Ruby fired a shot, causing a powerful blast, sending Ruby flying toward the Nevermore at insane speeds. She continued to fire all the way to the giant bird, catching it by the neck with the scythe, landing on the cliff wall. Weiss then made glyphs all the way up the cliff wall to allow Ruby to run on it and possibly increase her speed. The young girl then ran up the wall at speeds that impressed even me, continuing to fire the whole way up to add to her speed and put more pressure on the Nevermore's neck. She finally reached the cliff wall, bringing the Nevermore to a stop and with one more shot, she cut off the giant bird's head, landing in a badass pose next to its head on top of the cliff. We all watched in disbelief as the body of the giant beast fell back to the ground.
"Wow..." Jaune said.
"... HOLY SHIT!" Mine and Serena's team all said at once.
Ruby then walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at her team as they walked beside each other and looked up at her. "Well, that was a thing." Yang said.
"Man, I gotta give her credit for being humble, if that was me, I'd be living it up right now." I said, nodding.
"Well, SHE didn't kill it on her own, so she doesn't really have the right to do so. Just like how I'd kick your ass if you took all the credit for killing all the ursai back there." Damion explained.
"Good point." I said.
Later...
We were now at the ceremony to congratulate us and accept us into the academy as well as to officially make our teams together. First, it was some group that kinda look like assholes and cowards, then Jaune's team, then Serena's, then Ruby's and finally ours. "Russel Trush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark. The 4 of you retrieved the black Bishop pieces. From this day forward, you shall work together as: Team CRDL (cardinal). Led by... Cardin Winchester." Ozpin said.
"Eh. Makes sense, he's the only one that gets lines in the show. And he's the tallest." I said.
They then walked off the stage and Jaune's team walked on. "Jaune Ark. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The 4 of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you shall work together as: Team JNPR (Juniper). Led by... Jaune Ark!" Ozpin said, shocking everyone.
"Well, that's an interesting surprise. I was expecting it'd be Pyrrha." I said.
"Huh? Led by?" Jaune asked.
"Congratulations, young man." Ozpin said. Pyrrha congratulatingly punched him in the arm, but this knocked him down, turning the applause to laughter. They then left the stage and Serena's team walked on. "Naomi Azashi, Serena Blade, Selene Castro, Umbra Lupis. The 4 of you retrieved the white queen pieces. From this day forth you shall work together as: Team SUSN (Susan). Led by... Serena Blade." He said.
I cried lightly at this, proud of her. "She grows up so fast." I said happily, pulling out a handkerchief and blowing my nose.
"Dude, you're such a girl." Damion says, punching me in the head
"Ow, da fuq was 'at for?" I demanded.
"You're sniveling like a little girl, just calm yourself, you fucking idiot." He said. So I punched him in the face.
"Serena, you're the leader. That's so awesome!" Selene shouts, hugging her.
"Thanks, Selene." Serena said, blushing, before turning to Ozpin. "Thank you, sir." She said, bowing her head and taking her team off the stage.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long. The 4 of you retrieved the white knight pieces." Ozpin said.
"Great movie." I said.
"From this day forward, you shall work together as: Team RWBY (Ruby). Led by... Ruby Rose." He said.
"Well, you name the team after her, she'd kind of HAVE to lead it." I said, the guys nodding.
"Yeah. It wouldn't make sense if she wasn't the leader of the team that named after her." Damion agreed.
"I'm so proud of you!" Yang said, hugging her sister, before they left the stage.
"And finally: Damion Castro, Draco Bloodgrave, Nicolas Clodfelter, Sai Blade. The 4 of you retrieved the black queen piece. I was hard to find a name for your team..." Ozpin said, at which point I turned to the 4th wall.
"It REALLY was. Seriously, I was racking my brain for days. I wound up having to break the rules to get this one." I said.
"But from this day forward, you shall work together ass: Team BDSS (Badass. The B from my last name, the D from Draco's first name, The S from Castro in Damion's last name and the S in Nicolas from Nick's first name). Led by... Sai Blade." Ozpin finished.
"Thank you sir." I said, bowing my head.
[Sweet!]
FUCK YEAH!
"Well, I'll be sure to kill myself since everything is gonna go to hell since Sai is leader." Damion said, in a joking, but serious manner.
I glared at him after this. "... Oh, thank you, my good friend. I feel just great with your optimism." I said sarcastically.
"Good on ya, mate!" Draco said, clapping.
"Yeah, good job, man!" Nicolas said, patting me on the back.
"It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year." Ozpin said.
Elsewhere...
Roman Torchwick, currently the big bad guy of the show, stood in front of a map of Vale, talking on a phone, which he then slammed on the table. One of his henchmen brought a trunk up to him at that moment. He set down some money on the table. "Open it." He said. The henchman did so and revealed that the trunk was full of dust crystals. "We're gonna need more men." He said, the camera zooming in on the map, revealing that Beacon is his target.
Back with the guys...
We read the above and looked at each other. "That can't be good." We all said at once.
