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.)
Maize fired and managed to score a glaring shot on a sentry. He cracked his neck while Raven rushed forward. She cracked her neck while looking around.
"I can't believe this is the plan!" Maize stated and continued running as he fired. Maize looked to the side as more White Fang soldiers appeared. "Seriously, why was this ever the plan!?" Maize asked and got no answer.
Raven took cover and looked up at a guard tower. She turned to look at Maize who hummed and looked to the side.
"Was getting pinned down within 5 minutes part of the plan?" Maize questioned Raven before leaning out and firing Vindicta. "Or just improvisation?" Maize joked while looking to the side.
"Not now, Maize," Raven stated as she held Omen in her hand. The sword seemed to gleam in the light. "We still need to take a Bullhead. Where are Tai and Sal?" Raven questioned as she looked at her blade in question.
"I don't know." Maize said before a burst of gunfire almost shredded him. "There's chaos all over the base." Raven pointed out which made Maize roll his eyes.
"I'm well aware of that." Maize stated and fired Retribution twice around the corner. He got a groan of pain in response. "What do we do now? We're pinned down, I don't know where everyone else is… And I'm going to run out of ammo sooner or later." Maize questioned Raven who hummed under her mask.
Both warriors shared a look. They were well aware that the soldiers had them pinned down. Maize was also aware that reinforcements would come sooner or later.
To stay here meant Meant running the risk of getting pinned down and killed. Maize sighed and checked his weapons to make sure they were loaded.
"Should I point out that they have way more pressing issues?" Maize questioned Raven who nodded and looked to the side.
Maize let out a hum and watched as Raven leaned out of cover. She checked things around her.
"We make a run for the nearest Bullhead." Raven pointed out while flipping Omen. "Then we pick up the others and leave. Got it?" Raven questioned Maize who hummed and nodded.
"Well, that does have a few issues." Maize stated before a Bullhead roared overhead. "Like their air support." Maize added as the Bullhead rolled out a pair of autocannons.
"You have to be kidding me." Maize muttered to himself as the gunship/dropship opened fire on them. "As I told you! They have gunships!" Maize yelled before the duo rushed forward.
Raven kept her eye on the Bullheads while sheathing Omen. She looked up at the Bullheads in question.
"Rave, they're going to mince us sooner or later!" Maize shouted before firing Retribution once more. Maize sighed and looked at his weapons.
He rolled behind cover and started to try and reload. Maize knew for a fact that this fight would be annoying. Maize wondered if it would be this hard to win before.
Maize watched Raven slash one of the White Fang soldiers. She flipped off of one of the soldiers and kicked another.
Maize hummed and looked to the side rolled his eyes and fired at the Bullhead. It looped around and unleashed a torrent of gunfire.
"I hate this… So damn much." Maize stated to himself while he cracked a false smile. "Besides, those Bullheads need to get taken out." Maize said and continued to fire at the Bullhead.
(With Raven)
Raven slashed the rifle of a White Fang soldier in half. Raven hummed and turned before ducking under the slash of his knife.
Raven then twisted and tossed the man to the ground. She turned to see Maize roll away from a burst of gunfire.
"We need to cripple those Bullheads, Rave!" Maize yelled before holstering Retribution. He spun Vindicta as he looked up at the Bullhead. " I don't think my bullets are going to cut it!" Maize shouted and rushed towards Raven.
"I'll handle it!" Raven yelled from under her mask. She looked up at the Bullhead which looped around. Raven watched the craft aim its cannons on her. "I'll handle it," Raven muttered, more to herself than everyone else.
Maize ran forward and shot one of the pistols holding White Fang soldiers. He turned and twisted his weapon to the side and tossed a soldier to the side.
"Maize, can you handle getting its attention!?" Raven yelled, trying to strain her voice over the engines.
"I'll try!" Maize yelled and sighed to himself. He knew a fact that he'd have to distract the Bullheads even if Raven could handle it.
Raven hummed and prepared to engage the craft in question. Raven watched as Maize fired Vindicta 2 times. The bullets pinged off the armored hull of the craft.
It turned back towards Maize as Raven hummed.
