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.
(Haven Academy, 'Vault of the Spring Maiden')
Skyler panted and slid back before he slowly climbed to his feet, he hadn't expected Mercury to emerge from where he was when he went to attack Raven.
"Yang, you hang in there?" Skyler asked while Yang used the body of an AK-130 to block a bullet from Mercury before she tossed the machine away.
"Never better, Sky." She said before Skyler wrapped a hand around Centurion Lazuli's handle before he wiped the drool off his chin.
"What, no happy reunion? You aren't glad to see me again, blondie?" Mercury asked and Yang growled and slammed her right hand into her left, grinding her fist into her palm. She cracked her neck and knuckles.
"I'm going to be happy to beat you into the pavement for Vale, jackass…" Yang hissed before Skyler fired a round at a charging Mercury which caused him to flip away.
"We're handling him, Firefly…" Skyler said, Yang, looked at him before nodding.
"I almost forgot about you… Oh, you got a matching arm, cute." Mercury said before Skyler turned to Yang and nodded at Mercury.
"Don't let him keep balance… And don't charge in, his Partners Semblance seems to be illusions like the girl from the highway… You get caught in one, it's all over..." Skyler said before he turned back to Mercury.
"You want a rematch with her? You're going through me, buddy." Skyler said before he lunged at Mercury.
Mercury grinned and went to crane kick Skyler before Yang flipped off his sword and slammed into Mercury before landing in a roll.
Emerald fired at her before Weiss stabbed at her, Yang rolled out of the wall while one of the bullets grazed her chin.
Her Aura shimmered and then the cut healed before Mercury flipped and spun on his hands, firing at both of them. Skyler brought up his blade before Yang turned and fired a shot from her left arm.
Mercury rolled out of the way before Skyler swung at him, knocking him to the ground before Mercury kicked him back while Yang aimed a haymaker at his back.
She grazed him while he spun out of the way, causing him to slide back. Skyler cracked his knuckles and then fired a rocket from his other arm.
Mercury rushed out of the way while Skyler blew the smoke out of his arm and allowed Yang to rush past him before he followed her.
He watched as Winter Kicked Emerald back before Emerald flipped over the railing and then landed on the ground before she fired at Skyler who brought up his arm to block the shots before Weiss forced her to dodge out of the way.
He was knocked back by a blast from Mercury before Yang launched a roundhouse that made him tilt back before Skyler clipped him with a shot from his hilt.
He grinned while he looked at the fight around him before a Merlot Android slammed him into the staircase, splintering the pillar before Yang broke away from her fight.
"I told you to get me the relic! Leave them to me… This is personal…" Skyler heard from the android before Skyler punched the machine back. He looked at the machine and then he looked at the android.
"Merlot, do you ever stop trying to get back at the people who wronged you? Do you think you're owed something when you're not?" Skyler asked before the Android was sent slamming into the wall by Yang.
"Guess not…" Skyler said, Mercury flipped back towards the door, Skyler sighed and knew that they were trying to keep him back while others captured the relic.
It was a clear defense and holding the line while a support team handled the relic.
"I hate him, he planned this for months, and we don't know what to do at the moment…" Skyler stated, he climbed to his feet and dusted off his coat.
"I need to keep them from getting to the relic or else we're done for… Keeping them out of the relic is becoming a non-option at this point." Skyler muttered before the android rushed him.
He sighed and then he flipped out of the robot's way and then he twirled his weapon and then rushed forward, he smirked.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I want to point out this story is winding down a bit, this story might be on hold by season 7 or so. I also want to point out the next chapter in 3 weeks or so and then will show Yang running after Raven and Skyler defending her. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
