Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 1100- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Mt. Glenn, No Brakes.)
Neo leaned back to dodge a roundhouse kick before Yang fired 2 shots which were blocked.
She turned to look at Skyler, Skyler blocked the claws of Shadow before forcing him back with a slash and then a punch. Skyler blocked a lunge before firing a shot at Neo who tried a butterfly kick at Yang.
Neo slid back but smiled, Skyler slashed again at Shadow and then swung a punch which Shadow blocked with a sidekick.
"You're good… But I and her will kill you both, and we will enjoy it." Shadow hissed, Skyler swung, and Shadow deflected the swing before Yang fired a shot at Neo and then punched at Shadow.
Neo flipped away while Shadow slid back, groaning from the punch, Yang and Skyler stood back-to-back.
"You're not going to win by attacking her over and over, Yang. She's too skilled for brute force." Skyler said, Shadow fired around from one of his gauntlets.
Skyler blocked it before Shadow swung the other clawed gauntlet at Skyler who dodged it before spinning and swinging at Shadow from the right. A shadow blocked it, but the impact threw him backward.
Skyler turned and stopped a kick which Neo aimed at Yang, he fired at her, forcing her back as Skyler turned to the annoyed Yang.
"Switch. You're not going to beat her, I'll fight Neo." Skyler said, Yang was about to protest before Shadow swung a claw at him, Yang brought up her right gauntlet and blocked the hit.
Shadow went to swing at Yang before Yang punched him in the stomach, he flew backward. Skyler put Lazuli Centurion in the ground, the Zweihander Sword wouldn't do him any good against Neo.
She smirked before waiting for Skyler to make a move. He swung a hammer fist which Neo parried and aimed an Ax kick at his ribs, Skyler blocked it before bringing up his other foot in a kick which forced Neo back.
She swung a roundhouse, Skyler pivoted and kicked Neo in the back as she passed. Neo blinked; Yang punched at Shadow which he blocked before slashing at her. She blocked and aimed a roundhouse which caused Shadow to lean back.
Skyler aimed a punch at Neo which she dodged, and roundhouse kicked Yang at Shadow, Shadow grabbed her in a chokehold before slamming her into the ground and aiming his other gauntlet at the brawler.
"Yang!" Skyler yelled, Neo popped a sword out of her umbrella, Skyler quickly seized Centurion with one hand, spun, and swung, the blade caught Neo in the chest and slammed her into Shadow.
Shadow went to execute Yang again when she punched him into the ceiling, causing Neo to flip away as he crashed into the ground.
Yang growled and punched the ground, denting the metal as her eyes glowed red, before Shadow could react to her, she punched him and knocked him through the wall.
Skyler blinked, Shadow would be back, he knew it wasn't that easy to kill him. He was still surprised that they had defeated him, but that had probably caught him off guard.
Both of them faced Neo who grinned before a masked figure slashed her and knocked her away, Skyler and Yang barely saw the figure who chased the girl off.
"What the…" Skyler said, he looked at Yang who was panting in pain, Skyler frowned. He knew this wasn't a battle they won; they had gotten lucky.
He could have handled Neo with Yang's help or without it, but Shadow had caught him off-guard, and Skyler knew he'd be back.
"Guess we won, huh?" Yang asked, Skyler, put his sword on his back.
"Don't rush in again, Neo nearly killed you and I couldn't fight both of them by myself," Skyler said Yang thought he'd seen concern for her for a moment before it vanished.
"Train car, we need to move up. Wait, do I hear… A chainsaw?" Skyler asked, the train car was silent before Blake rushed in with Weiss, the heiress was unconscious.
"What happened? Did you destroy the engine?" Skyler asked before a large White Fang soldier with a chainsaw walked in, Weiss and Blake retreated.
"Carnel. So, I guess Taurus is helping Roman. Now I know what happened to Weiss." Skyler hissed, drawing Centurion slightly before an explosion blocked the duo.
"Damn it! Fine, I'll cut through this." Skyler hissed as he went to fully draw the weapon before Yang grabbed his arm.
"We have to go; this train isn't going to make it all the way there." Skyler looked at Yang before allowing the brawler to lead him away.
Weiss regained her senses while Skyler watched Yang punch through the top of the train just in time for a Paladin to fly past them. Skyler watched the machine crash into the tracks and explode.
"Holy…" Yang said before Ruby rushed over, cutting through a squad of White Fang soldiers.
"The train is going to crash; the tunnel doesn't have an end!" Ruby yelled; Skyler blinked in confusion.
"What? That doesn't make any sense!" Skyler yelled; Weiss saw the end of the tunnel coming up fast.
She made a decision then and there, she slammed her weapon as a glyph formed under the group, Skyler couldn't see Oobleck at all.
He heard a loud crash as the train crashed through the ground, he blacked out.
(5 minutes later)
Skyler groaned and sat up, despite his aura, he was still knocked out.
He looked up; the Blizzard was hovering overhead. He turned and saw Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, all of them were slowly climbing to their feet like he was.
So, the train had derailed, and they were back in Vale, the city around them showed him that. He was about to give orders to Blizzard on what to do until General Ironwood showed up to take command of the problem.
That was when the ground erupted and Beowolves, Ursa, Nevermores, and more Grimm roared onto the street and started attacking everyone they saw.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I'm sorry if the fight was short and all that, I was trying to have it be fast and frantic. As for Shadow? He will be back, he just underestimated them, and I didn't want to fully introduce Raven yet. The next chapter will be on Saturday and will show Yang, Skyler, and the others fighting the Grimm in Breach. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
