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.
(Mistral.)
Raven started to draw out into the mud as she looked at the others.
"Tai, you will neutralize this part of the base," Raven stated as Maize and Sal both shared looks. "Sal, I want you to try and divert some of their attention to the Ammo Dumps. I and Maize will clear out a section of this base and clear out a path to the landing pad." Raven put in while Maize hummed and rubbed at his chin.
"So, I'm guessing we're going to try and sneak through this mostly?" Maize joked while brushing off his legs. "Rave, we're going up against guys with guns… Who wants to shoot us in the head, I think it's an important distinction?" Maize pointed out while he cracked his neck.
The rest of the group looked around at the base. Maize cleared his throat. "Summer, don't you have a sniper? Why don't you back up Sal, then we can have Qrow, and Tai rip up the ammo depot? That'll cause all sorts of havoc which would rip through their ranks. We could then go after the rest of them to get a Bullhead… We steal one while they're busy dealing with the rest of the base falling apart. Bing and bang, we got a plane." Maize pointed out.
Raven said nothing, besides not giving to of the members of STRQ, but then again? Raven couldn't exactly guess what they knew to do best at the moment.
Raven knew for a fact that they'd be fighting through the rest of the base. Maize hummed and stood up before looking at Raven.
"I'll go and wait for your signal… Someone might want to scope out the base before we rip through the rest of the base." Maize put in and cracked his neck. "I also have to point out we might want to cripple their Bullheads. They might also have some sort of air defense to take care of us." Maize stated while he looked at his weapons and patted them.
"This is going to be a pain, isn't it?" Raven asked as she brushed off her helmet. She slipped it over her head and cracked her knuckles. Raven was the best at being stealthy. She snuck into bases all the time and would cause havoc all over Mistral.
Maize watched as the teenager hopped up onto a ledge. Her legs moved like the pistons of a machine. Maize also made a note of a Bullhead departing the base.
"We're going to have to fight to kill, aren't we?" Maize questioned as he drew Vindicta and Retribution. Raven vanished over a railing like she had done this much before.
(With Raven)
Raven looked out from under her mask around at the base defenses. They didn't have any support units; she did see several groups of mask-clad soldiers who reminded herself of… Well, both herself and the tribe she left.
Raven knew Qrow also hated their father. He just wasn't as vocal about it as she was. Ebony was hated by everyone in Mistral. Raven didn't want to save him unless it meant she could shove Omen through him.
Still? If she could settle for watching him rot in jail? Well, Raven would forgive herself for giving up any desire to harm her father…. Slightly.
Raven continued to slowly sneak around the base. She moved from a box of ammo to box of ammo, only stopping to continue to check every angle of the base.
"Rave, Summer is moving into position along with the rest of us." Maize reported over her scroll as she looked up at the wall to see Summer. The woman started to climb up at a tower that stood up from the rest of the base. It looked like a sniper's nest. "This is going to suck… Ok, let's do this." Maize muttered before sighing off.
He knew for a fact that this was going to be a fight more than anything. They were fighting people who were going to kill them if they didn't kill them first. Maize made sure to notice the Bullheads.
They were going to have only one shot at taking a Bullhead from this base. Maize wondered how Raven was planning to fight through dozens of soldiers armed only with a blade.
Then again? She could always surprise him. Raven already managed to fight off an assassin and her entire army alone, it made sense for her to plan something like this out.
Maize also wanted to point out that Raven had forgotten the AK-130s. Maize was at least glad that things would get better soon.
That? Or they all died trying to take the base from the White Fang, in which case? This didn't entirely matter at all.
"Oh, why do I already regret this?" Maize asked himself before loading up his weapons.
Author notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that the next chapter might be a bit delayed due to other stories or so. The next chapter will be in 2-7 weeks and will show Maize and the others attacking the White Fang base. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
