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 was far more than a match for dozens of White Fang soldiers. She cut down one soldier before roundhouse kicking another to the ground.
"Rave!" Maize yelled from his position. He flipped over a White Fang soldier and shot the man in the back. "We need to get out of here!" Maize yelled before looking up at the Bullhead.
Raven sighed and sheathed her blade. Raven's blade glowed an icy blue as it glowed in her stealth. Raven closed her eyes.
"I know, Maize," Raven stated to herself as she hummed and listened.
Raven could hear the sounds of combat around her. White Fang soldiers continued to open fire or charge forward.
Maize continued to open fire; bullets ejected from his weapons like raindrops. Maize's footsteps sounded just like gunshots just as much as his bullets.
Tai's weapon went off in the distance. An explosion sent one of the turrets ricocheting into the forest.
Raven opened her eyes as the pestering Bullhead flew at her. she thumbed the trigger of the weapon and sent it flying.
Raven raced after the hilt of Omen. She threw herself after the sword as it spiraled through the air after the ship.
Raven hummed and caught the sword. Raven growled in anger and sliced forward.
Raven's blade shattered against the hull of the Bullhead. But its kinetic energy? Raven's strength tore through the hull of the Bullhead like a knife through hot butter.
The craft spiraled into the wall, shattering into pieces. Its pilots rolled along the ground, down and out.
"What the hell is that girl?" Maize questioned as he blinked and looked at Raven. The Girl twirled and drew her red fire dust blade that was becoming a trademark for her.
Raven landed on her feet in one fluid movement. Maize could only hum and reload his weapons.
"Fall back and gather reinforcements!" One of the White Fang soldiers yelled before running away.
Maize looked around at the flames and destruction. Maize looked at Raven who sighed and simply sheathed her blade.
"It seems they cannot handle losing their air support," Raven muttered to herself while looking at Maize.
Tai and Sal leaped down from the remnants of one of the towers. Maize looked at the duo.
"Nice of you both to finally show up." Maize stated to his friends before looking around. "Where the hell are Summer and the others? Where the hell is STRQ?" Maize questioned the others before holstering his weapons.
"No idea, I haven't seen them since our fight started." Tai put in while Maize crossed his arms.
"Seems like you forgot we were taking care of the enemy artillery," Sal said and hummed. "I think we're done here, all things considered. I just wish these soldiers didn't have to be destroyed. I feel bad for them." Sal put in as Raven walked over to the trio.
"I would welcome this talk if we had the time for it." Raven snarked and pointed at the Bullhead. "But unless you three want to fight the entire base? We need to leave. This violence was unneeded, yes… But Mistral was going to be like this no matter what." Raven put in which caused the trio to share a look.
"As much as I hate to talk about the bandit queen being right?" Maize stated while sighing and fanning his head with his duster. "She's right, we can mourn the dead later. We have to bring the VIP back to Vale. Part of me thinks Summer and the others put Ebony on a Bullhead back to Vale. We should get moving. They're going to regroup sooner or later. I'd rather not fight a small army of soldiers… Though I would like to point out our leader ripped a Bullhead apart in one hit." Maize stated before dusting off his hands.
"We're discussing it back in Vale." Raven put in while walking towards one of the parked Bullheads. "Now, I'm guessing one of your stupid meatheads can fly?" Raven questioned the trio as they all shared looks.
"Well, I can fly a Bullhead," Sal stated and saw Maize look at him. "But we're going now. I'm done being here." Sal added which made Maize sigh.
"This is the weirdest team I've ever been a part of." Maize muttered while walking forward.
"It's the only team you've probably been a part of," Raven responded while dusting off her gauntlets. "Who's going to tell Ozpin what happened here?" Raven asked Maize and Taiyang who looked at each other.
Raven could only roll her eyes as the duo slowly looked at each other.
"Uh…" Maize muttered and looked at Tai Yang before Raven chuckled and took her helmet off.
"We're done here, boys," Raven stated and brushed past her friends.
They could only sigh and slowly walk after her. They left the flaming base behind them as they boarded the Bullhead. Maize and Taiyang shared a look at each other.
Author notes
