Dark Lands
Emerald waved her staff as the Behemoth's horn for water Dust glowed; a small stream of water snaked out following the ruby orb until a ring floated around the girl. Stabbing the spike of her staff into the ground sent the water splashing into the faces of her Omegas; earning a feline yelp from the Sabertooth and almost hitting Salem if not for the magic bubble she summoned to shield herself.
"Not again!" Emerald groaned failing again to transmute water into ice as her stomach growled.
"Using Grimm as a medium for magic is a tiring task but thanks to how advance in evolution your Cluster appear it must be more so." Salem commented using her magic to stand Emerald back to her feet and waving seers to bring in food to replenish her apprentice; Emerald touched nothing as she avoided Salem's eye as the Queen walked around her.
"Do you not wish to eat child?" Salem summoned her throne to sit across from Emerald.
"I do, but you haven't given me the order to do so." Emerald squeaked still not touching the enticing spread.
"Is that what Cinder does? Dictate your every action down to when you can eat. As my apprentice you will find no restrictions under my tutelage."
Salem watched gobsmacked as the honey glazed ham disappeared in a matter of three bites before the bone was throne behind the girl only to be caught by the Sabertooth jumping off the Mastodon's back, a turkey skeleton went to the pterodactyl as it swooped down like a raptor; snatching it and swooping back up to the rafters. The Queen was unprepared for a trunk to dip itself into a large pot of soup and drawing in like a straw; Salem's brow twitched as the Behemoth skewered a plate of Berta beef steaks (with grill marks bud.) with it's horns and throwing a few to the T-Rex; snapping them from the air; a pulse of magic interrupted Emerald stuffing biscuits into her mouth and causing the Dino-Grimm to flinch in slight fear.
"Young lady, you will refrain from feeding table scraps to your pets at the dinner table if you wish for them to be inside Grimm!" Salem snapped; startling Emerald and her Grimm. "And your clothes; no apprentice of mine will dress as some harlot looking for a rogue in the night. We will find you more appropriate wear after you finish today's training."
"What are you? My mom?" Emerald asked in a rare lapse of self preservation.
"Your own mother abandoned you to the streets while you were but a child I however; will be raising and sculpting you to bring magic to arm against Ozma."
"Wow! Your just gonna roast my childhood with zero hesitation."
"Don't be foolish child; I hardly know any fire spells let alone a time spell." Salem commented before taking on a more thoughtful expression. "How were you using magic on the island?"
"I don't know, I just…" Emerald tried to explain while vaguely gesturing with an almond cookie in hand. "I don't know." She quickly shoved the dessert into her mouth and humming in delight from the taste.
Without Emerald's notice magic began to trickle out of the staff and coating the plate of other cookies near Salem; the Dark Queen watched as the saucer began to levitate and float towards the girl still stuffing her face. Reaching out with a small bit of her own magic she gave the saucer a small tug; causing Emerald to jolt in her seat slightly and the plate to fall to the floor.
"Now I see how to improve your training." Salem stated using her magic to clean the mess and float a slice of cake over to the girl.
Atlas: Gas Station
Ceil watched as Skalgar's helmet was moved into place before arms began welding it in place; the Dragonzord is cool and all but it's just a bit too powerful and big to use as carelessly as Oscar and Jaune like to be. Like the time Arc once used Mrgas to carry kids to school in one hand as the Mantle Milfs posed for Jaune on Mrgas shoulder; or the times Skalgar jumps across roof tops in Atlas to show off the fresh coat of paint.
Ceil found herself taking care of the returning robots instead of going to Vacuo and missing both a family reunion and a clock-convention. Never thought I'd say this but thank you Grimm. Absently she opened the program to start the machine forge; freshly stocked with iron rich meteors. The forge will refine and shape the metal according to which file is up loaded and being a real life saver when the team needed spare parts.
"Now where to store you?" Ceil asked to the image of Dragonzord and Mrgas sparring at the Mantle Ring before bringing up a map of any dry mines surrounding Mantle. With more robots showing up and even more in the planning; storage space is pretty slim might as well not let an already excavated area go to waist. Just need the right tools. Closing the map she brought several images of construction vehicles and taking note which ones will be useful for her personal project.
"Buzz-beep-boop." The Bumblebee Zorp chirped behind her; looking at the plans over her shoulder before a picture of Neanderthals circled around a fire filled her screen to be quickly followed by an alarm bell; making the girls eyes widen at the meaning of her Zorp.
"We're late! We're late!" Ceil exclaimed before grabbing her bag and jumping on Bee as the hangar doors parted just enough to let the two out. The Mammoth Zorps eyes lit up as Bee flew down the angling ramp. "Bee, rev up and fly out."
"Buzz!" Bee exclaimed nearly making Ceil lose her hat as it picked up more speed before weaving through the tall buildings of Atlas and dipping down to fly above traffic and avoid breaking airspace protocol. Ceil clung to the back on her two feet as she calmly went over the latest designs of action figures before giving her input on flaws and details. Bee dipped down above a crowd of people attending a showcase for the latest in Schnee technology; people instinctively kneeled down and screamed when Bee flew too close to the audience before touching down in-front of a building across the street.
Jacques Schnee calmly adjusted his tie and hair after the fiasco and his screaming like a little girl before addressing the gathered mass.
"Do you have a dream of being thinner, taller, faster, even stronger? Well these people did." Two holograms of a man and woman popped up showing them to be very out of shape and looking very miserable. "And turned their dreams into reality."
Holograms spun around to show new images of both people looking slimmer or buffer with flowing locks of hair. "And you can do that too with the Schnee biochemical makeover! For those that don't believe me; I have prepared for an exhibition with the help of General James Ironwood and the latest in Dust mining technology."
Ironwood stepped forward to the podium. "The Atlas Military will be donating several obsolete AK-130 models for the demonstration." Several bots walked out from their hidden spot behind the stage and lining up as newer AK-200's moved the crowd to a safer distance as a small frail man stood across from the old models. Ironwood pulled Jacques to a side bar after seeing the man.
"What is going on here Jacques? I was told the opponent was going to be a minor under your pay roll; not an escaped retiree."
"I can assure you James that Rhodes is one of my more prominent employees; especially after his recent enhancements."
The frail old man with the sweet fu Manchu mustache sneered at the machines as two pistons on his back exposed themselves when they burst from his shoulder blades before slamming down and releasing green electric sparks and continued to do so as the man flexed and grew to tower over the droids by head and shoulder.
"As you can see our newest product will help miners by giving them the strength and durability of an average huntsman graduate." Jacques told the audience as Rhodes charged at the robots.
Dark Lands
"What's the matter Sludge?" Emerald asked to the Mastodon as it's eyes glowed. Sludge used it's trunk to grasp the magical staff and holding it up for Emerald to look through the gold ring. An image of a man as large as Hazel was shown fighting Atlas Knight drones in the middle of the city; his skin stopped any ammunition that hit him without his aura flaring. "What am I supposed to do with that?"
"Take control of him of course." Salem suggested as she too watched as blades bounced off the defending forearms before he reached out grabbing a robot by the faceplate and throwing it into it's backup. Salem guided Emeralds to the image. "Focus on imposing your will onto this human; I will help you make a connection but after that you are on your own."
Before Emerald could object a string of magic shot from the palm of her hand and into the image, making an unseen connection to the berserker.
Ceil
Looked over the newest idea for the Gas toy line with skepticism as she circled the table it sat on. Two cars; Jaune's and Winter's specifically hooked up to trailers while Oscar's pulled the vehicle mode Skalgar. Frostbyte's trailer matched her paint down to the Schnee symbols on either side of the trailer.
"The new line of toys are inspired by 's robot." A faceless suit started off while picking up Skalgar and changing it to warrior mode; another picked up the blue trailer of Mrgas and doing the same. Actually making the girl quirk a brow at the prospect of officer Schnee shooting this idea down for it lack of realism; but team funds are running low; before she could sign off on production an AK-200 came crashing through the window taking the table as it was stopped by the wall.
"Calling all units, we have 4-36 in Central Plaza." Ceil heard over her scroll. Looking out the window the mechanic watched as a giant of a man picked up a car over his head before slamming it down where Ironwood once stood before a yellow and black blur snatched the man and swarmed to the broken window.
"Thank you Bumblebee." Ironwood held onto Bee before jumping into the room.
"Sir allow Bumblebee to take care the situation. The AK line are not equipped to take on Huntsmen; I've checked to the blueprints before." Ceil saluted as Bumblebee waited for orders.
"Denied. Evacuate any civilians from the nearby area until soldiers show up to deal with Rhodes." Ironwood ordered; Ceil huffed quietly as she jumped onto Bumblebee before the Zorp flew off.
Rhodes just finished with another batch of Atlas Knights before he spotted Bee and Ceil escorting people to the subway.
"I HATE MACHINES!" Yelled grabbing another car as he ran at the two.
"Buzz?" Bee asked before she was back handed with a mini-van and sent through a wall.
"Bee!" Ceil exclaimed as Rhodes charged in after the robot. A bulldozer tearing down a China shop would be less disastrous place to stand than what Ceil could hear going on in the building. Peaking through she was lucky enough to duck as Rhodes body is knocked back to the streets; with Bee using her speed to get under the villain before he could land and shooting up to slam into Rhodes sending the man into a arc to crash through the stage.
"General, combatant has shown a unique hate for machinery and is currently attacking Bumblebee."
"I can see that from the vantage point cadet, this isn't my first rodeo." Ironwood responded in an easy tone to assure Ceil she isn't being talked down to. "With no other civilians in sight you are cleared to engage the enemy."
"Sir?" Ceil asked confused as Rhodes rose from the pile of debris and then charging in and tackling Bee again. Leading the two into a game of extreme bumper cars.
"You asked to prove yourself; consider this a pop quiz. Apprehend or detain the criminal with minimal collateral damage. I would hurry if I were you." Ironwood joked seeing Bee dig trenches into the ground from the last hit.
"Yes sir!" Ceil sounded off drawing her weapons from her bag.
At first glance one would mistake the two weapons as metal boxing gloves painted a yellow to match Bee but any would be caught off guard as the left glove opened releasing a dagger as the other released a clearly modified taser. These two items she proudly calls Stingers are usually used for making personal repairs on any of the removed parts of the robots but with simple change of the setting to stun they take their first field test.
Taking aim with the taser Ceil fired two bolts of electricity; hitting Rhodes in the shoulder and getting the mad mans attention. He roared as he charged at the cadet before bringing both hands down; Ceil flipped away from Rhodes much slower movements and firing a few more shots when she landed before sprinting to Bee who has yet to get back up.
An optical sensor offline, cracks along the armor, and leaking fluid. That is just a small list of damage she can actually see as she closes in on Bee only for a thrown chunk of concrete to cut her off. Rhodes grabbed another chunk of asphalt before throwing it as well; Ceil stood stunned as she watched the chunk of road about to hit her.
A sound wave hit the ball of terra shattering it to harmless bits; after feeling pebbles bounce off her aura Ceil looked up to see a purple sports car race passed with turrets deployed from either side of the hood. Ceil would know this car anywhere; the one part of the project Flint and Neon have been working on dubbed 'Reverb'. One part sports car and one part destructive boom box with sonic pulse canons as it's main weapons.
"Looks like Ceil is biting off more than she can chew again." Neon joked jumping out of the car and using her semblance to roll circles around Rhodes making the giant dizzy as he tried to keep up with her pace. A stream of deep bass blast hit Rhodes; the man covered his ears screaming in pain as patches of skin glows green with each new pulse. Green sparks of energy danced around the pistons as Rhodes stumbled around in pain until he collapsed to his knees and began to shrink, the other two members of team FNKI took aim to damage the pistons on Rhodes back making the man shrink back to normal before passing out.
Ivory withdrew a pair of cuffs before he and Kobalt escorted the unconscious man away as Ironwood marched over to Ceil as said girl switched her weapons back to repair-mode; giving the slab of metal an electric blue glow. Tracing over the gaping wholes with the repair tool released a sealing gel to stop any more mech fluids from staining the ground as Ceil also called the Happys for pickup; as she did that Ironwood lead the members of FNKI away for a report.
"Buzz-beep?" Bee chirped as Ceil adjusted the power of her right stinger and began closing what cracks she could.
"I'm fine Bee and it's okay; We just weren't ready to go solo but we'll get the next big bad." Ceil's tone conveyed what she truly felt; disappointment. Her first chance to prove herself to be as capable as her team waisted at wheels of Reverb the glorified boom box.
Dark Lands
Emerald dropped to her knees feeling the intense migraine threatening to split her skull open before punching the ground several times to distract one pain with another. Salem watched calmly from her throne as the girl breathed harshly through bared teeth until Sludge offered it's trunk to support the girl as she regained her bearings.
"I'm starting to really hate machines." Emerald groused through clenched teeth and rubbing her temples.
"Did you discover anything while in the mortal's mind?" Salem asked.
"Just that Jacques likes to see what Grimm essence can do to improve his wealth; after today he better look into a lawyer." Emerald started to absently pet the trunk that affectionately wrapped around her and set the girl on one of the crystal tusks. "These guys aren't very Grimm like."
"I suspect it has both to do with their age and the potent Dust imbedded in them. You will be practicing the same technique later for now I will teach you how to establish a link to even the smallest of Grimm."
Gas Station
With the R.M.S. not equipped to handle the smaller robots Ceil prepped the area where she will be performing more permanent repairs near the four other cars that still littered the Gas Station; all practically untouched except for the dull yellow Atlas Jeep, completely overhauling the old model had been her greatest achievement. Placing the last of the tools she will need, Ceil got to work completely removing Bee's busted beyond repair shell to get to the ports she needed to hook into to run internal diagnostics before picking up her Stingers to start cutting away clearly damaged wires and motherboards; as Ceil worked on her body Bee opened blueprints for her new body only for her attention to be brought to something sitting on the Jeep that wasn't there before. An image of an arrow popped up getting Ceil's attention before pointing at the new item. Ceil walked over to the Jeep after noticing the item and really taking notice of the note that sat on top.
Heard what happened here's a duatronium isolinear actualatorto speed up repairs. Point at vehicle of choice. Click both triggers then install inside robot of appropriate size.
-O.P.
"Install it where?" Ceil asked picking up the orange orb with glowing blue center and handles on either side. The device proved to have sensitive triggers as without warning a light shot out scanning the Jeep. Ceil yelped when feeling her aura start to drain rapidly as the soft glow in the center grew brighter as the orange housing opened slightly releasing more sky blue light; she almost fell to her knees from the drain until the actualator levitated into the air towards Bee. Ceil could hear a deep baritone clear with authority and leadership whisper into the air.
"You never bend, you never break, your virtue gives you what it takes; to be a fighter. It's in the blood, it's in the will, it's in the mighty hands of steel. Stand your ground and become a paragon of justice. Arise Meta-B33."
Ceil's staggered slightly when she let go of the device and watched in fascination as both it and Bee Zorp being cocooned with her aura until the light dilated her eyes to the point she needed to cover them or go blind. Finally the light faded revealing Bee has now switched places with another heavily upgraded Jeep with a fully stocked M41 Vulcan chain gun mounted to the cargo bed.
"The hell just happened!"
Dark Lands
A seer floated slowly over to Emerald as she focused her staff on a group of Creepers (one of the most overrated Grimm on the planet.) manipulating them to balance on one leg while the other picks up the remains of large broken furniture both as her punishment and practice. The Dino-Grimm idly sat outside the disaster area; each one's crystals glowing faintly as they watched the fodder Grimm do a good job cleaning up after Sludge knocked over several decorations in the hall. Soon enough the red eyed girl took notice of the Seer before sending a silent command for the Creeps to stop and let the new Grimm through.
"Emerald return to Vale immediately; we need to be prepared to infiltrate Beacon. You will be in Vale within two days."
"But Cinder I'm"
"No excuses Emerald. I don't care where you are, you have 24 hours now to be back at my side. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes ma'am." Emerald responded before the Seer was stomped into the ground thanks to the T-Rex. "Grimmlock, I was talking to Cinder!" The green hair girl barked at the mighty Dino making him shy away. Emerald took a deep breath to calm herself as she made her way to Salem; who is oddly in the castle's kitchen. Peeking her head into the room a-clatter with sounds of prep work, Emerald spotted Salem taste testing today's lunch the Seers have made.
"No, this simply won't do, not enough flavor." Emerald could hear the Queen comment then sending the Grimm to fix the problem. "Emerald do remember not to linger in doorways, dear." Emerald entered fully into the kitchen.
"Cinder calls for my presence in Vale." All noise and movements ceased after the apprentice witch words; blinking Emerald found Salem's hands grasped onto her shoulder's sending chills down her spine as Salem stared into her eyes.
"Have you finished your chores?"
"Again I ask; are you my mom?" Emerald snarked back after Salem let her go and showed no sign of hostility.
"Your 'birther' gave up any rights to that title." Salem turned away from Emerald, going back to controlling the Grimm to cancel all prep work and take what was made to the last two Cthulhu's "You may go only after you finish cleaning up after your pets."
"Yes 'Mom'." Emerald stressed sarcastically leaving the room as well and missing the jolt the word sent up the Queen's spine. When Emerald returned to her Dino-Grimm she found the mess completely cleaned up. "Swoop, fly me to Vale."
Emerald used her semblance to show the land mass she wanted to go to only to once again create a solid projection for the other Grimm to see. Ever since she took possession of the Lunar Staff her semblance seemed to have went through an evolution or metamorphosis to be tangible to the material plane but only when in contact with the staff.
All of the Dino-Grimm released a cacophony of shrieks and roars as their crystals glowed brightly engulfing theirselves and Emerald in a rainbow of light before six balls of light fazed through the ceiling to travel at near light speed towards Vale.
Gas Station
Winter took a long inhale of air as she tried to process the report given to her by Ceil as Jaune and Oscar checked over the new assault vehicle. The Jeep would honk and jostle as the boys took a look under the hood.
"Let me git this straight. You responded to an emergency on orders from Ironwood, you and Bee confronted the problem and almost perish, when in the garage to make repairs you found a strange item with a note signed by someone using Oscar's initials only to then activate the unknown item and replace the Bee Zorp with this."
"I actually think that maybe…" Ceil paused not sure of her next words. "I think Bee transformed."
""Woah!"" Both Jaune and Oscar yelped as the Jeep slammed it's hood back down nearly trapping the two in a meshing of shifting metal and gears. Now everyone stared at the robot standing nearly as tall as Mini and holding a rifle.
"All in favor of not telling Ironwood and to leave for Vale right now raise your hand." Jaune asked not wanting to deal with Ironwood and what views he might have on Ceil's placement on the team. Of corse Ceil was the first to raise her hand followed by Penny and Oscar with Winter rigidly keeping her hands to her sides. "Sorry Winter, you're out voted."
"What's stopping me from going to inform the General?" Winter sassed turning to walk away only to bump into Mini's leg. The knight helm plucked the pilot from her feet and began walking to shove the pilot into Frostbyte.
"Let's get going." Jaune casually ordered heading to Mrgas with Ceil following.
Bee recognized the order to prepare for direct shipping and transformed back to vehicle mode as a large shipping container lowered for the more mobile robots to load up. Mini entered first as he helped the Serpent sword, Lion was next carrying the crab blaster on his back, Ram rolled a sleep mode turtle, and finally Bee drove herself into the container last before it closed. Mrgas quickly snapped the last two Zorps into place on his arm and knee.
Vale
Roman Torchwick, the self proclaimed 'Master criminal of Vale' thought back to how he found himself in the current position he is in. His trail of thought always led him to believe the time everything started snowballing was the night Red interfered with what should have been a simple robbery. Leading Cinder to take to micromanaging future heists; even going as far as to force him to work with the White Fang of all animals.
Things got better when Cinder left for a day or two and left one of her pets behind. Oh, it was so great to have the kleptomaniac away from his precious lighter, the only thing he has left of his old life, but now the little monster is back with monsters of her own; the flyer of the group eyeing him like a chicken nugget as the feline pinned Neo to the ground. The other three Grimm kept the White Fang in their sights as the way word their returns to her master's side.
"… and that's how I got this staff and the Grimm before I came here." Emerald just finished filling Cinder in on everything she has not been informed of as of late before flourishing the staff to her master.
Cinder honestly felt the need to incinerate Emerald and take the staff for herself along with the Grimm but that would mean months of planning and preparation would be for-naught, including Roman's next heist involving one of Blackgaurd Robotics shipping crates. Finally her mind registered that Emerald would be more than ecstatic to handover all that power; before Cinder could fully grasp the staff a rainbow stream of lightening defibrillated her through a wall of crates.
"Cinder!" Emerald rushing over to help her mistress stand only to be blocked off by the Dino-Grimm as they growled and snapped in rejection of Cinder wielding their power. The T-Rex inhaled a rumbling breath before a thundering bellow forced everyone to cover their ears or risk going deaf.
"Grimmlock TERRORIZE!" The bone armor of the Grimm shifted, starting with the skull mask and chest armor split down the middle before flipping back to reveal a second head but this one shaped into a knights helmet, meanwhile the tail split down the center with the separated tips folding inward as the two ends became what one would consider legs and feet, the legs became muscular armored arms for the Bone-Knight with feathery red crystals running from the shoulders more akin to a cape. Grimmlock knelt forward to be eye level with the recovering human incinerator. "Dino-Grimm no like Bossy Lady. Bossy Lady no lead the Dino-Grimm, we follow Green Girl only. Kneel before Green Girl or face Grimmlock's wrath."
Grimmlock tore the cape from his back as the shards reconfigured into sword of fire.
"The White Fang will never bow to a human!" Banesaw exclaimed marching out of the thrills of frozen in fear faunus, with Adam stepping out along side the gorilla faunus. Banesaw dragged his chainsaw/sword behind himself bringing sparks to life before hefting the blade and pulling the ripcord to start the engine.
"Grimmlock not know what 'White Fang' is but Grimmlock will be new leader." Grimmlock to both faunus shock, shrunk down to stand just a head above Banesaw. Adam could feel the flames from the blade even with the distance he stood and watched as the sword was pointed at Banesaw "Grimmlock challenges leader of White Fang."
Adam drew his blade before Banesaw could charge, batting the sword aside thus establishing to the Grimm who the leader of this branch truly is.
"ENOUGH!" A voice cried out before a boom of thunder nearly knocked everyone off their feet when Emerald slammed her staff into the ground with several arcs of lightening trailing up the walls. Her other hand pulled Cinder back to her feet for Mercury to assist with keeping her steady. Grimmlock's sword extinguished revealing a molten pattern under the fire as he turned to Emerald along with the others in the room including Neo and Roman.
"If you continue to follow Cinder, I can guarantee a new weapon for all of the White Fang." Emerald spoke up lifting Cinder to be passed off to Mercury. The Fang looked intrigued about the prospect of more power for their cause.
Cinder numbly lolled her head as Mercury led her away from the site of everyone and letting Emerald deal with everything and rethinking his antagonizing ways. The shift in power will not bode well when Cinder completely comes to her senses and with how unfocused her eyes are that may take a while, so until then studying what Emerald can now do took a bit of a priority for the assassin.
"The Schnee Dust company has new form of dust that when used can give you strength beyond that of any Hunter. In a few days time a shipment will will be appearing in Vale before being shipped off to be destroyed." Mercury heard Emerald addressed the Fang before the girl used her magic to show the events that happened in Atlas earlier.
(New Day)
Team Gas setup a temporary garage in one of the Blackgaurd warehouses on the Vale docks it took them a full day to do but with Ceil releasing the Zorps it could now be considered complete, with the larger robots hidden among the maze of cargo containers.
"Alright! Now we can eat." Jaune celebrated as he and Oscar ran to the makeshift kitchen with Penny following after her two favorite friends.
Ceil stood idle for a moment before a gloved hand grasped her shoulder, sending chills down her spine from the malice she could feel radiate from Winter, if one listeners closely you can her the sound of water freezing over at an accelerated rate.
"Cadet Soleil, you and I will be giving a performance test to your new robot, Now."
Ceil could do little more than salute and tremble in fear before found herself fighting Bee's brake pedal, the bot refused to relinquish control of her new body as they three barreled down the halls of shipping containers, clutching the steering wheel for dear life Ceil flared her aura to brace for an impact after Bee skid around a corner. She unintentionally gave the war machine a boost in speed to the robots delight, Winter in contrast sat calmly with her arms crossed and mentally noting how this is the least hectic ride she has taken since the team's formation.
Bee finally came to a stop near one of the loading docks, allowing Ceil to hug the concrete ground. Winter walked passed while bringing up a checklist of tests, with the maneuverability test being next to last.
"The next test will be water resistance."
Winter was about to command Bee to jump into the water until the roar of a cargo bullhead nabbed the three's attention. Ceil watched confused as she brought up the shipping schedule.
"That can't be right. No bullheads are scheduled to show up until daybreak at the earliest."
"Send a message to the others to track our signal with the Zorps."
Ceil jumped back into the drivers seat before Bee took off after the bogie to a different section of the dock. Ceil and Winter peaked around a shipping container to see the White Fang. Ceil withdrew a pair of binoculars from beneath her hat and setting them to night-vision.
Faunus rushed off to specially marked shipping containers with both the Schnee emblem and and biohazard warning labels. Winter immediately had suspicions on the specific item(s) the Fang is after. The Fang ran several objects to carts attached to the triceratops Grimm.
"Isn't that the 'Guardabousques Verde?'" Ceil asked referring to the girl with the green helmet walking down the ramp of the bullhead. A small projector rendered an image for Winter to see as well.
"Roman Torchwick as well." Winter said before checking her scroll for the rest of the teams signal's and seeing them on their way.
"What are your orders,Ma'am?"
"Continue observation until; is that Blake!?" Winter whispered screeched seeing the faunus hold a blade to Roman's throat from behind. "Is she an idiot?"
An explosion from Roman's cane separated Blake from her hostage.
"Keep that bird grounded. I need to help Blake." Winter charged ahead dodging or knocking out White Fang as she ran.
"Bee, transform!" Ceil exclaimed prompting the front of the Jeep to pop off the ground as it rotated and unfolded into legs, as the gun was ejected into the air two arms unfolded from beneath and pushed the robot into a kneeling position, metal folded over the roll cage revealing a head hidden away. Everything snapped into place as Bee caught her weapon and took aim at the wings and squeezed off several shots as both pilot and robot rushed toward the aircraft.
Emerald instinctively ducked low after hearing the gun shots of heavy weaponry, glancing out over the brawl for the docks she spotted to figures closing in on her position.
"Slag, load up. Grimmlock Terrorize!" Emerald ordered to her only present Grimm. Two thunderous quakes shook the ground before Ceil spotted the T-Rex Grimm leaping off a corner containers.
"CANNONBALL!" Grimmlock exclaimed as he transformed.
Bee hit the ground and skid along from the momentum pushing both herself and Grimmlock deeper into the fray. Winter created glyphs to launch herself, Blake, and the blonde faunus to the top of a loading crane.
"Woah!" Exclaimed Sun as he pulled out his scroll to record the fight.
Grimmlock chuckled darkly as he stood up, Ceil climbed to the top of shipping container over looking the new fight, she wasn't the only as both White Fang and Emerald did the same. Bee shakily stood back up in front of Ceil's corner with the Grimm standing in his own. Ceil did not like the losing side she found herself in again, in response her aura began to glow as did Bee shortly after, Ceil took aim at the opposing side hitting several of the signs.
Bee raised her weapon taking aim at Grimmlock before letting the gun rip. Inertia of the bullets stopped painfully against the bone armor, angering Grimmlock into charging with his flaming sword.
White Fang grunts ran a top the containers to flank the cadet. A grunt brought their sword down in an over head swing, forcing the girl to block with her sword hand with Bee mimicking the maneuver when a blade slide out above the wrist. Both fighter pushed their respective foes away before firing more rounds. After stunning the grunt Ceil back flipped over another before landing on their back.
Bee jumped back onto a container before jumping off into a double drop kick into the Grimm's chest, Grimmlock's back hit a wall of containers before dodging to the side and avoiding the wrist blade. Snarling the dinosaur warriors punched Bee's visor faceplate. Ceil stumbled back from the surprise left hook before delivering her own knocking a large grunt out, another pounced from behind.
Bee shot her elbow back hitting Grimmlock's chest, turning around the transformer rushed in clasping both hands together, hitting the side of the bone helm.
Grimmlock snarled kicking out, making Bee stumble before she fell over a waiting Slag. Emerald stood over the pinned Atlas cadet raising her staff for a shattering blow only for a hand to tightly grasp her wrist
"Guardabousques Verde, we meet face to helmet." Winter commented throwing a punch into the helm before using several glyphs to sweep both Emerald and the excess White Fang off to the the side. Ceil stood to her feet before the whooshing of displaced air made her duck down. Looking into the ring she watched Mini punt the behemoth into Grimmlock sending both grim into a corner of containers. Reaching down the Knight helped up the Spartan as the Dino-Grimm stood growling at them both.
"Mini and I will take the Bone knight, you get the other." Both soldiers aura's making the eyes of the Zorps do the same. In the ring both robots high-five before giving the team hand sign and rushing the Grimm. Slave charged Bee only for the robot to take him by the horns and redirecting the momentum so the saurian dug a trench into the concrete as Mini grappled with Grimmlock.
"Come on Ceil you got this!" The other three members of her team cheered as they watched from the same crane as Blake and Sun. Jaune revved his aura before jumping down onto the container and placing one of his hands on Ceil's shoulder and the other into Winter's hand.
Mini pulled Grimmlock into a full-Nelson before the Grimm flipped him over the shoulders, the Zorp made sure to land on his feet before kicking Grimmlock's stomach making the Grimm bend over from surprising amount of pain before Mini turned 180 degrees while grabbing Grimmlock's head and placing it on his shoulder before dropping straight down. The Inertia traveled through Mini launching Grimmlock to fall on his back.
More aura surrounded Bee as she struggled to hold Slag down, before the increase in power lead to her keeping one horn in hand as she lifted the Grimm over her shoulders vertically before falling back and letting the heavy creature topple over into Grimmlock followed by a loud snap. The Grimm faded away shortly after, their particles traveling somewhere unseen to reassemble. Bee glanced down to her hand noticing the horn still in hand before it began to shake and glow volatility.
"Bee chuck it over the water." Ceil ordered.
Bee wound arm back throwing the dust shard like a javelin, passing over the ocean the blue crystal released a tidal wave towards the docks. Black climbed higher as she screeched like a cat as the tsunami surged higher the Dragonzord's song played for everyone to as the colossal machine roared before using it's tail to create a counter wave and cancelling out the first.
Blake released a sigh of relief seeing the waves harmlessly splash into nothing before taking note of the lack of Roman Torchwick, the girl with green dragon helmet, and a few White Fang grunts.
"Welcome to Vale." Blake muttered seeing the other Gas members.
"We may need more stasis cuffs." Ceil commented already cuffing one of the Fang members, Penny and Oscar following her lead.

"These better have been worth the trouble." The thief commented as he watched the White Fang grunts take the patches, while WF medics took to studying the pistons.
