Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Haven Academy, 'More the Merrier')

Skyler kneed one of the thugs and threw the man to the side before Yang rushed another thug and slid under a shot at her head.

She punched the bandit to the ground with her left arm and looked at her mother who was busy dealing with Qrow.

Vernal was dealing with Weiss and Ruby which meant they were slowly overwhelming Raven's soldiers.

Skyler watched another bandit take a shot from one of his soldiers and fall to the ground before Winter leaped at Vernal and slash her to the ground.

"Your mom doesn't know when to quit, and I'm starting to get annoyed with this," Skyler said while he looked up at the balcony where Raven and Qrow were dueling.

He wanted to get involved, but even if it was 2 on one, he knew he'd fail. Raven was on the most wanted list for most of Remnant for a reason, he'd be outmatched.

Plus, he knew Raven could bring in more people for her side, he simply had to hold off Raven so they could force her to surrender which would keep the relic safe.

He turned to see Yang fire a shot at Raven, Raven turned to slash it in half before the bullet exploded behind her and threw her to the ground. Skyler parried the sword of another bandit and then slugged the man with his right arm. He watched the man flip into the wall, cracking it.

Skyler was about to go and help Weiss and the others take care of Vernal who was slowly losing ground to Weiss, Winter, and Ruby when he heard something.

"Colonel, we have White Fang soldiers coming in with android support! The Androids are pushing the flank hard!" Skyler heard from his scroll before he turned to see 4 AK-130s drops down and land in front of him.

"Can you hold them off while we deal with the others? We're dealing with Raven Branwen and her tribe here, I don't have time to respond to them…" Skyler asked, he sighed and turned to Raven, she was bringing in reinforcements and he couldn't handle them and help with Raven here.

He sighed, his men could handle the androids and the White Fang, he had to handle Raven and them before he could handle the rest of the soldiers.

"Damn you, Raven… I'll deal with you in a second, you and Merlot are pushing my last nerve at the moment," Skyler muttered before he watched Yang smash one of the AK-130s into a scrap with a haymaker with her right hand.

The robot slid to the ground at Skyler's feet while he smirked and looked at his fiancé with a smile.

"God, I love that Woman," Skyler said while he turned to look at Raven before he fired a shotgun blast from his weapon at Raven which she blocked, but it left her open to a kick from Qrow.

"Yang!" Skyler yelled while Raven flipped over the railing to avoid a stabby Qrow, Skyler blocked her while Yang who was busy tearing the head off an AK-130 and tossing it to the side leaped at her with her right hand.

Skyler slashed his sword into Raven's while he saw Yang slam her fist into Raven's back before she was kicked to the ground. Skyler was forced to the ground by a roundhouse that clipped his shoulder before Qrow blocked Raven's blade with his.

"Thank you," Skyler said before Vernal tried to stab him before Winter threw her to the side with a kick. Skyler fired at Raven again and narrowly missed nearly hitting Qrow who Raven shifted to try and take him out of the fight.

"You just couldn't lay down and die, couldn't you?" Raven asked while she blocked Harbinger with her blade, causing sparks to fly over the room before Skyler rushed in to help Qrow deal with her.

"Sorry, I'm a soldier, not a possum." Skyler joked, slamming his sword into hers which caused Raven to grunt while both swordsmen tried to overpower her.

"Kid, I got this," Qrow said, Skyler turned to watch Vernal shoot at her, he blocked the bullets with the flat of his blade before Raven slashed Qrow away and swung at him.

Skyler reached up and caught the blade with his right hand, sparks flying from his hand as he turned to deal with Vernal. He ducked a slash before Yang turned to deal with another AK-130.

"You're working with the White Fang? You want to add to the list of crimes, Branwen?" Skyler taunted and turned to see Raven turn to slash another portal open.

Skyler and Yang fired and knocked the sword out of Raven's hand.

Skyler smiled, Vernal was finally knocked to the ground by Winter. They were gaining ground.

That was before the building shook.

Author notes

Phew, another chapter is done! I know it's a short chapter, soon the next chapter or so will be longer. I also want to point that this story will not be updated every Saturday, but every other Saturday and will be possibly on hold after season 6. The next chapter will be in 2 weeks or so and will show Raven bringing in the others and fighting Skyler and them. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
