Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Fight or Flight. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale.)
Maize glared at Raven as she did him. The wild, spiky black-haired, blue-eyed warrior wore a blue jacket with a black undershirt and black jeans. He had orange combat-like boots. He had brownish fingerless gloves along with a Vacuo felt duster.
He had the holsters for 2 handguns which were either magnums or powerful hand cannon-like guns.
Maize glared at her as the necklace he had gently clicked against his neck.
"The hell I'm not taking orders from some pickpocket princess." Glynda and the others stood across from them.
One of the members was Taiyang Xiao Long and the other was a Faunus known by the name of Salmon 'Sal' Abiko. He wore a red long coat, a black undershirt, a pair of black boots, a pair of black rings on his right hand, and a pair of crimson pants.
He also had a scar on his face, making his dark brown eyes seem all the more offsetting as did the fact that he carried a pair of swords or a bladed weapon on his back from the looks of it.
Both Maize and Raven continued to glare at each other before Glynda cleared her throat.
"Ms. Branwen, and Mr. Uaithne. I am well aware of your dislike for each other as neither Mistral nor Vacuo is a very well-off kingdom… That doesn't give you the right to name call. Raven? You called Maize a 'cutthroat cowboy'… You will be going into the initiation phase tomorrow to see how well you work as a team. I suggest you take the time to acquaint each other." Glynda looked to see Maize rested his hands on his holsters.
Raven was already gripping the hilt of Omen as she looked at Maize. Glynda sighed and slapped down her weapon between the two teens.
Both turned to her with shock and confusion, neither ready for the sudden drop in tension as they dropped their hands from their weapons.
"You both are going to give me gray hair…" Glynda turned to the rest of Raven's team.
"You both keep an eye on them both, I don't want them killing each other… If either of you wishes to fight? do it at the training grounds, your Aura will be stopped from falling by the status fields, I'm going to lose it if either of you kills each other." Glynda muttered before she left the room.
She turned to see the duo grumble something before turning away. Glynda already knew Maive's Semblance was as dangerous as Raven's. Ozpin had taken a very deep interest in STRQ and RUST.
She left the room closed it behind her with her Semblance and activated the camera that she had planted for the day.
Raven turned away from Maize towards Taiyang and Sal.
"What about you both? Are you both going to have a problem with me being in a leadership role on the team? It's called team RUST…" Raven said. Maize rolled his eyes.
"You're not the only one who doesn't want to be on this team. I went from Hunting down all the Grimm and bandits like you I wanted to be knocked out by a guy with a blunderbuss ax in a sneak attack and then I get stuck on a team with another bandit." He hissed, Raven chose a fire Dust blade and held it against Maize's throat.
He had already drawn one of his guns and pressed it against her ribs.
"You try it, you better be willing to finish it. I've killed a lot of bandits, you're just another scumbag with a gun who thinks they're hot crap when they aren't… And trust me, I've fought a lot of people like that over the years… A lot." Maize turned to Tai.
"Aren't you some jokester from Patch who could manhandle Grimm? I didn't know Ozpin was hiring anyone he could find to be Hunters for his group." He stated. Tai smiled and Maize put his gun back into his holster.
"I'll prove I'm going to be the boss of the team when we get to work tomorrow… We're supposed to kill a giant Alpha Grimm who's in charge of the forest? I'll kill it and then your see who the hell you're messing with. Whoever kills the most Grimm tomorrow wins." Maize pushed Omen away, Raven hummed.
"Deal, I'll gladly slaughter more Grimm than you tomorrow if it means your see who's the better Hunter on the group," Raven said. Tai turned to Sal.
"I just took this to kick butt and pick up girls… This isn't what I thought I'd be seeing." Sal shrugged and turned to the two with interest as they huffed and turned away.
Neither at all knew what would be coming, the challenges they'd face. They just knew tomorrow would be different, it would change the dynamic.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I want to point out this story is set in an au so it will be different than the show mostly. The next chapter will end up being next Wednesday and will show the initiation, fighting styles, semblances, and such of team RUST. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: I am probably making a Summer or Glynda story soon. let me know which.
