Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 800- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Mt. Glenn)
The wall exploded as a Paladin marched in followed by another then 2 rows of Atlesian Knight 200s and then 2 squads of Atlesian Soldiers and then Skyler and Yang.
"Well, they know we're here now, spread out and form firing lines if there's any Grimm, they're becoming straight here," Skyler ordered before they heard the sound of gunfire.
"Bran, did you order any squads down the tunnels before we came down here?" Skyler asked, somewhat already knowing the answer.
"No, sir…. I'd get set up now." Bran stated, Skyler drew Centurion Lazuli as Yang punched and activated Ember Celia.
"You know, you're some of the first humans to have ever survived a battle with me… You can take that to your graves." Skyler and Yang heard before gunfire came at them and the Atlesian troops.
"Get to cover!" Skyler yelled before White Fang soldiers poured out of a tunnel, Shadow dropped down from the ceiling.
"You seriously ambushed us now? We have you outgunned and outnumbered down here." Skyler said before he rolled out of cover and fired the shotgun on his sword which took out 2 White Fang soldiers.
"We don't need to defeat you, just hold you off for our leader to escape," Shadow stated, Skyler, rolled his eyes and lunged at the Elite Fang soldier and locked blades with him.
Skyler turned to look at Yang who punched one of the White Fang soldiers to the side and then uppercut another into the air and then fired a shot which sent a trio sliding away.
"I'm going after their leader!" Yang yelled before she ran down the tunnel from which the White Fang came.
"Yang!" Skyler yelled before he dodged a slash at his face and roundhouse kicked Shadow away.
"I'd worry less about her and more about you, Captain," Shadow stated before Skyler twirled the Zweihander and aimed it at Shadow.
"Oh, trust me, this isn't going to take long to end this. You shouldn't have ambushed us." Skyler said before slashing at Shadow and forcing him backward as their soldiers fought around them. Paladins provided Skyler's forces an advantage.
"What do you want with us? Attacking Vale wasn't enough for you? You had to attack us in the same city you planned to kill dozens of innocent people?" Skyler asked as Shadow slashed at him then fired.
Skyler blocked the bullet and then pivoted and slammed his blade into Shadow's claws, he fired the shotgun which shattered Shadow's mask, exposing bear-like fangs.
"Well, somebody lost their favorite mask," Skyler stated as Shadow roared and pushed at him, trying to overpower Skyler as their blades had sparks dance off them.
"Your die for that, human!" Shadow yelled as he flipped back and fired at Skyler who blocked the bullets with his blade. He motioned for Shadow to attack him again as he lunged at Skyler.
(With Yang)
Yang punched a White Fang soldier into the wall and then fired a shot which took out the other 4 White Fang soldiers.
"You can come out now, your bodyguard is busy fighting my boyfriend." Yang taunted, she walked into the open train yard.
"Shadow is only there to delay the Atlesians. Your one of the humans who derailed the train." The voice stated, Yang looked around the tunnel.
"You mean to stop an attack at Vale which would have hurt a lot of people? I did help stop that, you want to stop hiding in the shadows and come out to fight me?" Yang asked before a glowing red blade sliced at her from the shadows.
"Gladly." The voice said before Yang prepared to fight the wielder of the glowing blade.
(With Skyler and Shadow)
4 AK 200S were destroyed in exchange for a dozen dead White Fang Soldiers, Skyler ducked a swipe at his head before roundhouse kicking Shadow into a piece of rubble.
"You're not fighting, you're just trying to make me focus on you," Skyler noted, Shadow grinned.
That was when he heard a yell of pain down the tunnel, Skyler turned.
"Yang!" Skyler yelled, he turned and fired a shot at Shadow which shattered his aura.
Shadow vanished as Skyler turned and rushed down the tunnel.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know the fight was a bit rushed, the next fight will be longer. I also want to point out the Grimm Eclipse arc will end in a few chapters. I also want to point out this story will only have 1 chapter a week. The next chapter will be on next Saturday and will show Skyler showing up to help Yang. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
