Road War.
After having been saved from the deadly fall by Maine, Team A is driving on the freeway. York is driving, Maine is riding shotgun, Carolina is manning the turret while Pyrrha sits behind York and Maine. There was no more seats, so she had to improvise. One of their targets were secured, but there was still the package. Team B was supposed to secure it, but they haven't heard anything from them, which was more than a little troubling.
Carolina tried to contact them "Team B report. Team B!".
"Team B is down! We have wounded, and are taking fire" North answered.
"We'll be right there" Carolina said.
"Negative, get the package. Get it out of the city" North said.
Carolina did not like it, but she knew they had to complete their mission "Roger that".
York tracked the target "Reading Team B's tracker... okay, there he is I got him".
"We'll cut 'em off at that overpass, go, go!" Carolina ordered and York began to drive faster.
"Will the other team be alright?" Pyrrha asked in concern for her friends.
"If anyone can survive that, it's them. Focus on the mission for now, Pyrrha" Carolina said.
Pyrrha sighs but nods "Understood".
The program official Rhee Sebiel, is driving under an overpass just ahead of Tex. Team A is watching him, waiting for him to get closer. As Rhee approaches them, Maine jumps on the hood of his car and prepares to stab him with the bayonet of his brute shot. Later, Maine carried a white briefcase back to Team A's Warthog.
"Nice work Maine" Carolina praised.
"Thanks" Maine said as he put the briefcase on his back.
"Yeah, subtle as always. Response team is probably on the way" York said as Maine got in to the Warthog.
"Let's get the hell out of here" Carolina ordered.
"Hold on!" York drives the Warthog down the highway, swiftly passing by several random cars. Two Insurrection Hornets are in pursuit "Comin' through! Excuse me! Look out!".
"Here they come!" Carolina called out.
The Hornets close in on Team A. Three Insurrection soldiers, a muscular sleeveless soldier, a sniper soldier, and a female soldier,with jetpacks hop off their Hornets and flank the Warthog.
"Behind us!" York called out.
As the Team battles two of the Insurrection soldiers, the Sniper Soldier speeds ahead and takes aim on a truck in front of them. The other two Insurrectionists continue to fire.
"Maine! Protect the briefcase!" Carolina ordered.
Maine notices a sniper laser pointing at Carolina's spine and looks behind him. The sniper fires a shot at Carolina, but Maine intercepts the shot, causing it to hit his chest and render him unconscious.
"Maine? Sniper!" A sniper bullet whizzes past Carolina's head, impacting into the turret. Carolina ducks down "Punch it!".
"It's punched!" York yelled back.
"Look out!" Pyrrha called out as another female soldier flies in with a large blade. Pyrrha blocks her with her own sword, but the girl punched her before warping an arm around her neck and pulled her of.
"Pyrrha!" Carolina called after them but was interrupted when The other female Insurrectionist lands in front of the Warthog and has a brief battle with her.
Maine stirs, but the female Insurrectionist plants her foot on Maine's back, knocking him out again. She steals the briefcase off Maine's back but Carolina manages to kick her away. As the briefcase flies in the air Carolina struggles to get a grip of it; eventually she manages to.
"Got it" She said, but not for long.
The sleeveless Insurrectionist kicks Carolina down to the front bumper of the Warthog and retrieves the briefcase. Carolina attempts to climb back on the Warthog, while the sleeveless Insurrectionist prepares to execute a still-unconscious Maine.
"Hold on!" York swerves the Warthog to the left, flinging Carolina & the sleeveless Insurrectionist off it, rousing Maine in the process.
They land on a nearby truck platform with oil drums, with Carolina grabbing the briefcase in the process. The female Insurrectionist begins to fire at Carolina, forcing her to take cover. At the same time, the sleeveless Insurrectionist tosses an oil drum at Team A's Warthog, knocking off its turret.
"Would you quit throwin' shit! On your left! On your left!" York called out.
The sniper soldier fires at York and Maine from a neighboring truck. York rams the Warthog into the truck, knocking the sniper off. The sniper uses his jetpack to gain back his balance and accelerates towards the Warthog, until Maine punches him in the face, knocking him down to the road. York and Maine speed up next to the oil truck.
Maine jumps out of the Warthog and onto the oil truck platform, in order to assist Carolina. Maine battles the female soldier, but is kicked back with Carolina. As Carolina and Maine are back to back the two switch opponents, Carolina fighting the female soldier & Maine fighting the sleeveless soldier, with Maine now in possession of the briefcase.
While all of that was going on, Pyrrha broke free from the girl's grip and both landed on another truck's trailer. Facing each other, Pyrrha readied her new Sword and Shield, while the girl was now duel wielding two swords. Pyrrha was not sure where she got swords like that, but she didn't really have time to think on that. The Girl dashed forward, striking at Pyrrha with several quick slashes with her blades, Pyrrha blocked them and tried to fight back but the girl managed to block her strikes. Sparks flew like fireworks. They both landed on the opposing sides of each other, and they both whirled around quickly and attacked again. The duo commenced in a sword duel, blocking and deflecting one another's strikes. Pyrrha jabbed her blade forwards, but The Girl swiped her own sword upwards to throw the blade away from her body. She in turn swung her weapon towards her opponent, but Pyrrha took a step back and avoided said swing. The Girl leaped into the air, trying to go for an overhead strike. She swung twice, fast and hard, but Pyrrha was managed to deflect them both. The Girl landed behind Pyrrha, but she successfully launched a kick out of nowhere that sent The Girl backwards a bit, almost knocking her of the truck. But her balance was strong, almost like a cat. They continued to clash, as the truck they were fighting on caught up with the rest.
"On the right!" York tosses the Brute Shot to Carolina, who jumps in the air, dodging incoming bullets. She stabs the female soldier with the Brute shot "Come on!".
The female Insurrectionist tosses her pistol to her sleeveless companion, who catches it. The sleeveless soldier battles with Maine, even managing to shoot Maine's throat. He then throws Maine to the floor and shoots his throat repeatedly.
"MAINE!" Pyrrha shouts before being forced to block another strike from the girl.
"NOOO!" Carolina quickly tackles the soldier and nearly stabs him with the Brute Shot.
The sleeveless Insurrectionist kicks Carolina off and the two battle. As Carolina begins to overcome the two soldiers, Maine loads his Brute Shot, with blood pouring down his throat. He aims at the two Insurrectionists, but the female Insurrectionist fires at Maine, causing his aim to go awry. Maine fires at the truck's rear, causing it to swerve. The truck hits a car and the four soldiers fly through the air, the female Insurrectionist flying off the highway. Carolina reaches for the briefcase, still on Maine's back, but fails to reach it as she lands in the Warthog. Maine, however, bounces off the road twice and is hit by a speeding truck and is completely knocked off the road.
"NO!" Pyrrha shouts as she forced the girl back "Get out of my way!".
"Not a chance!" The girl said as she suddenly got through Pyrrhas defense and stabbed her in the shoulder.
Pyrrha cried out in pain before kicking the girl back and tried to retaliate, but her enemy ducked under her strike and sliced her in the side, making blood fly out from the newly created wound. Pyrrha has never even once been injured like this during a mission, worst she ever suffered was a few bruises. It was clear the soldiers that were sent after them were no ordinary soldiers, this must be the elies, highly trained and very dangerous.
"You will pay for what you did to my friends!" The girl declared.
"Your first!" Pyrrha shot back as she kicked the girl and sliced at her head with her sword. She managed to knock the girl's helmet of, allowing Pyrrha to get a clear look of her face.
She is a fair-skinned young woman with wavy shoulder length black hair and amber eyes. She almost looked like a human cat, and seemed to be within the same age range as Pyrrha herself.
"Who are you?" Pyrrha demanded.
"My name is Blake, if you must know. But you will not live long enough to worry about it! I will make you pay for what you did, you murdering monster!" The girl, now named Blake, declared as she charged at Pyrrha.
Pyrrha tried to defend herself, but with an injured shoulder, and bleeding from the side, there was little she could do to keep Blake of her. Blake used her jetpack to tackle Pyrrha, lifting her of the truck and dropped her of the side of the road, seemingly hoping the fall would do the trick. Pyrrha fell and tried to grab on to something. But by doing so, she sudden stop dislocated her shoulder, making her scream in pain before she fell further down. She hit the ground hard, and while her armor took the brunt of the fall, it still hurt like hell.
She noticed Maine not to far away. Despite the pain, she forced herself back on to her feet and made her way towards him "Maine... Maine... you alright?" She knelt down next to him "Maine, please... give me a sign you are alright...".
She heard a sound and saw Blake was back. She was flying towards Pyrrha, blades drawn. Pyrrha glared and held up her sword the best she could. But with both her shoulder injured, she was not ready for another fight. Blake got closer, ready to take Pyrrha's head clean of... but suddenly, Pyrrha was pushed to the side by Maine who delivered a powerful uppercut to Blake's chest.
The blow made Blake fly in to the pillar, this damaged her jetpack, causing her to lose control and fly away.
With Blake finally defeated, Maine collapsed again "MAINE!" Pyrrha put her hands on him "Maine, no! Maine! MAINE!".
Pyrrha could feel her body growing weaker by the second, but she could not die now, she had to help her friend... she had to help everyone. But staying awake became harder and harder by the second. She laid on top of Maine, hoping to shield him from any more harm.
She then heard a sound as a Pelican arrived. The back opened up and a familiar voice was heard "PYRRHA!".
"Sis...?" Pyrrha whispered as her older sister rushed up to them.
"Oh my god! Pyrrha, stay with me!" Carolina said in slight panic as she picked Pyrrha up in her arms "I got you sis. I got you. Hurry, get Maine on board!".
"On it!" York said as he and North hurried to help Maine.
Carolina carried Pyrrha on to the Pelican "It's alright sis. You are safe now".
"The... mission..." Pyrrha whispered.
"It's complete... you did good sis... you did good" Carolina assured.
Pyrrha couldn't help but smile weakly at that. At least all the pain wasn't for nothing. With her mind at ease, she could finally allow herself to get some much needed rest. But this mission would stay with her for a while.
As they were flying away, Blake watched them. She was to injured to follow, and even if she wasn't, there was no way she could catch up with them now. Gritting her teeth, Blake punched the wall next to her "MONSTERS! FUCKING MURDERERS!".
Blake remained like that until her own back up picked her up.
This mission came with several first time experiences for Pyrrha. This was the first time she had killed on a mission... and the first time she was almost killed herself.

Another RWBY character finally joins the story, and I have a feeling not many of you were expecting who the second RWBY character of the story would be.
