Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Fight or Flight. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale.)
Raven slashed through a Beowolf before Maize was knocked into her. Her Aura flashed Red as the Geist roared.
The Petra class Geist hovered over the group as Sam whipped a Beowolf before pulling the Grimm into the other blade of Night Bane.
"This Geist is becoming a pain in the ass!" Maize bellowed as he climbed to his feet and shot a Griffin which charged him.
Vindicta smoked as he sighed and looked at the Grimm as it stood among the corpses of dying Grimm.
Raven, Maize, Sal, and Tai all looked at the lumbering beast as it tauntingly smashed its fists together.
"Ok… We can exterminate this entire forest… But that boulder head has the only other relic we need. We need a way to kill it." Maize said as he cracked his neck, his guns were red hot from the continuous fire.
"Those limbs look like they're weak… And its face isn't tough, right?" Tai pointed at the mask of the monster.
"Yeah, but we're going to have to get lucky… I could destroy one of its arms with ice Dust, but I only got 3 Ice rounds rest, I couldn't destroy the other arm. We need to go for the face." Maize said before Raven sheathed Omen.
"I'll kill it, Tai, knock it off balance… Sal, can you restrain its other arm and clear me a path?" Raven watched as another pack of Grimm… Beowolves and lowly Creeps, bugs surrounding their master. She counted 2 Creeps and 6 Beowolves.
"Yes… You better stab deep." Sal stated. He continued swinging one of Night Bane's blades around his arm.
"On my signal." Raven and her teammates formed up behind her. Raven's eyes flared under her mask.
"NOW!" Raven yelled before she pressed the button to fire Omen. The blade is a very beautiful blue of Ice Dust. It slammed into the head of a Creep, snapping its head while Raven rushed forward.
She cloaked her right hand in electricity and facepalmed a Beowolf before flipping off the Grimm's face and catching her sword in her left hand in one clean motion.
Maize gunned down 2 Beowolves with Retribution before leaping off the body of the dying Grimm. He grabbed onto its leg and swung himself upside down.
He aimed Vindicta at the left arm of the Grimm as it shook back and forth. Maize cursed as Retribution fell from his holster and clinked to the ground. Maize fought to not drop his other gun.
"Tai, knock the damn thing off balance! I can't get a clear shot of its arm!" Maize dug his other hand into the stone while Sal rushed forward.
He twirled Night Blade and wrapped one blade around a Beowolf before twirling the other blade in an arc to decapitate the other 2.
He tossed the other Grimm into the air before twirling both blades around him.
He poured some of his Aura into the attack as the blades dug into its right arm. It thrashed around before Sal turned to Tai.
"TAI, TAKE DOWN ITS LEGS!" Sal bellowed as the brawler rushed towards the massive Grimm.
Maize looked at his gun and noted there was 1 Gravity round left in the chamber. He twirled the hammer until the bullet was loaded.
"GO FOR THE RIGHT LEG, I THINK WE CAN KNOCK OUT THAT ONE!" Maize aimed at the other leg while Tai rushed in.
He shoulder-checked the other Creep, crushing its head under his boot as he poured his Aura into a charge at the Grimm.
Tai slammed into its right leg as the creature went to step on him, Maize fired underneath the foot as it came down. he felt his hat fall from his head.
It stumbled backward as Tai wrapped his hands around its leg. Raven rushed from the tree she was on at the beast. She flipped Omen around.
The Geist went to swing at Raven before the last 3 bullets… The last 3 ice bullets, tore into its left arm while she sprinted forward.
The Geist's arm was slowly encased by frost before Raven landed on it. She continued to run as the Geist swung its arm towards a tree.
Raven leaped just as the Geist shattered its arm against the tree in a futile bid to try and kill her. Raven grinned as she flew towards the head of the creature.
Raven crashed right into the mask of the Grimm, burying Omen and releasing all the Dust into the skull of the beast.
It roared and hissed as its mask-like head froze, killing and brutally wounding the creature as it thrashed and screeched in pain.
The Grimm staggered as it died, it tipped over… And then fell back as Omen's blade broke off.
Raven fell and crashed into Maize as they fell to the ground, their Auras glittered close to empty as the relic fell free from the corpse of the Grimm.
The group panted as Maize looked at the dead Grimm and the carnage they had brought.
"Ozpin has a hell of an entrance exam… So, there's that… Go, team." He stated as he grabbed Retribution and slowly sat up.
Raven dropped Omen for a second and removed her mask as the group looked at the remains of the Grimm once more.
"So… Does this mean we pass?" Tai asked, he panted in exhaustion as Sal rested on his blades.
A Bullhead flew overhead before circling the plains. Maize brushed off his hat and fell backward.
"Ugh, just kill me already, I didn't go from fighting bandits and thugs to fighting thousands of Grimm…" Raven pulled one of her legs to her as she rubbed her head.
The bullhead set down. both Glynda and Ozpin walked out of the ship towards the group before Ozpin chuckled.
"I told you all before this Beacon isn't for the weak-willed… Well done." He stated before looking over the tired teens.
"You didn't tell us that our test would be fighting a pair of Grimm the size of a building… Ugh, I think my Aura is going to break." He looked at his Blue Aura while shaking his head back and forth with annoyance.
"Stop complaining…" Raven panted out while Maize glared at her before smirking.
"Fine… Can we go back to Beacon?" Glynda typed in a few commands on her scroll.
"Yes, you may… But we're going to be monitoring you all very much… Team RUST." Glynda stated as the newly christened team groaned and collapsed in exhaustion.
Ozpin and Glynda chuckled at the quartet in amusement. They had no idea about what the future would hold for team RUST and how things would be in the future.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I want to point out Raven will be getting with Maize and not Tai… Also, either Cinder, Roman, or Junior will be the main enemy of the story. The next chapter will be on next Thursday and will show RUST's first night at Beacon explain their roles and characters more and show Maize and Raven bonding. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
