Here's chapter 58, everyone.

The white wolf of Team RWBY was sniffing out the coast, hoping to find any Elementals that she's faced before. "I know I don't need to say this, but just in case, I haven't fought normal Grimm yet. So be on the lookout for non Elemental types." The team nodded to her and she continued to track whatever she could.

Glynda was behind them, sighing to herself as she was holding back on helping the team. "She's just like Lazuria…"

Weiss' ears perked up and she stopped moving, the team readied their weapons as Ruby was about to throw Myrtenaster to Weiss. "Hold on… What I can smell isn't as close as you're thinking, but… I believe it's a Strom." Remembering how she was when she fought a Strom during initiation brought a sense of urgency to the white wolf.

"Okay, so we at least know those are around." Yang commented. "Still, there's gotta be Okean around here too. No way a water Elemental wouldn't be around a place like this."

"Very observant, Miss Xiao Long. Water Elementals such as Okean can inhabit the sea as well, so be prepared for any attacks from the ocean itself." Glynda warned.

Ruby cut in. "Wait, we can't hunt them down in the ocean, so how will we be able to make sure this place is safe for the miners?"

"A perimeter will be secured with hunters hired to keep guard of the miners. You've been sent out to clear a lot of the ones who have taken refuge on the coast itself, so once a good amount of the area is cleared out, another team will be dispatched with the miners." Glynda explained.

"The coast could be easily cleared out by other trained huntsmen and huntresses, but with us it's more like a test, right?" Blake assumed.

"In a way, but do remember that failure is not just affecting you as a team. It affects the miners as well. For if you four are unable to secure this coast, then mining opportunities will be lost for until another team of hunters can be dispatched." Glynda said, adding more pressure on the team.

"Uh, right, so don't screw up. Got it." Yang said, keeping on the defensive.

Glynda rolled her eyes at how she phrased it, while Blake gasped when she saw two Strom Alphas jumping down from the hill to the left of the coast. "Looks like they're a lot closer than expected."

Weiss was feeling nervous, but Ruby snapped her out of it. "Weiss, your weapon." She tossed it to her partner, who quickly caught it with her teeth, growling a bit as the two Strom Alphas noticed them. "Two of them… Alphas too…"

Glynda took a step back. "Remember, this is something you four as a team must handle. Use the knowledge you have achieved from your studies to combat these two."

Ruby had her Crescent Rose in scythe form, looking over at the tails. "Weiss always reminded me during studying that if we take out the tail, they can't use their elemental attacks."

Before the team could respond, the two Alpha Strom ran towards them, wind flowing around them, so certain dust attacks would be useless, as the strong wind current acted as a shield for them. Weiss watched as Blake took the initiative, using her semblance to get behind the two Alpha Strom, but when she shot a few rounds at them, the wind current simply knocked the rounds back.

Yang punched her right fist forward, sending an explosive shell at the left Strom Alpha, which did manage to break through the current, but it whipped its tail to block the explosive shell. "Ugh, damn these things are tougher than they look."

Since they got close enough from charging, Weiss and Ruby jumped to opposite sides of each other, but they gasped when they realized they hadn't landed on the ground when jumping away.

The blonde brawler watched the white rose pair lift off the ground when the strength of the Alpha Strom's current caught them in its grasp. "Ruby! Weiss!" She punched her fists together, the fire of her semblance bursting as she quickly shot at the Alphas. "Get away from them!"

In times when her family or friends were in trouble, Yang refused to let anything harm them, so when she saw that her shells were swatted away again by their tails, she charged, grabbing an earth dust crystal and using it on her boots, surprising Glynda.

The boots she wore were covered in rock, so the moment she got in the vicinity of the Alpha's wind current, she was planted on the ground, not being able to be lifted up. "Impressive on the spot reaction." Glynda thought to herself as the blonde brawler was able to punch one of them in the snout, making it howl in pain, but it managed to jump back, the other using the chance to try and swipe at Yang.

Luckily her aura was strong as she crossed her arms in a blocking position, taking the hit and getting sent back a bit, but with the earth dust on her boots, she wasn't moved that far back.

Since the Strom that she punched was sent away from Ruby and Weiss, they were able to land on the ground, while Blake used the chance to run at the recoiled Strom Yang punched earlier. After it had been hit by the blonde brawler, its wind current defense died down, so its tail was open for an attack.

The cat Faunus went in for a slash, gasping when it powered itself up with electricity, so the moment her blade made contact with its tail, she was shocked by it, crying out in pain.

Yang's eyes widened when she watched her partner fall to the ground on her back, sparking anger in her as her eyes turned red. "Sis! Ice Wolf! Handle the other one!" She yelled at the two, running at the Strom that knocked her partner down.

Weiss and Ruby nodded. The white wolf slashed from the ground in a vertical motion, sending a line of rocks soaring at the Strom Alpha in front of them. She figured that with wind current that strong, fire and water would do nothing. Ruby didn't wait for the attack to hit and charged in, hoping that if the Strom managed to protect itself from the attack, her follow up would be unexpected.

As soon as the rocks crashed onto the Strom's wind barrier, it used the time to jump back and howl, lightning being summoned to crash down in front of it to stop Ruby from getting close enough. "Dang it!" Ruby yelled, annoyed by how it managed to stop her from attacking.

Another howl roared out, a cloud appearing above it as several light strikes surrounded it. Both Ruby and Weiss surprised, as they hadn't seen an attack like that before. The lightning strikes circled around it, the Strom growling as it looked to Weiss.

The white wolf took a step back, knowing that it wanted to attack her since she was a wolf as well. "I can't let it get close… That lightning will eat away at my aura."

Yang had reached Blake, jumping on the Strom Alpha's back to keep it from advancing to her partner. "There's only one wolf I ain't about to beat down, and it ain't you!" She yelled out, punching the top of its head, making it howl in pain, but with it, the lightning came down on both it and the blonde brawler.

Blake watched as her partner was zapped, but she realized that Yang wanted that to happen when she saw her grinning. "Yang!"

She couldn't pay attention to Blake's shout, as her semblance kicked in and fire burst around her body. Her eyes blood red, Ember Celica fully powered up as she punched down, slamming her fist against the skull of the Alpha Strom, shattering it to nothing as the added damage of her semblance gave her just enough to put it down.

The cat Faunus' eyes widened, watching as her blonde partner had blood splattered on her, panting a bit as she wiped away some of it from her cheek. "Son of a bitch…"

"Yang…" Blake slowly got up, groaning from the lightning she was hit by. "Are you… Okay?"

"Huh?" The blonde huntress in training didn't know her eyes were still red, and the amount of blood on her clothes. "Oh… Uh, shit. Sorry." She turned away, not letting her cat eared partner see the blood anymore.

"It's not about the blood." Blake walked over, pulling her arm to spin her partner around. "I asked if you're okay." Before she could answer, the sound of Weiss and Ruby fighting the other Strom Alpha.

"Uh, gonna have to get back to you on that." Yang said, turning to run over to her sister and friend. "Don't fall behind, partner!"

Blake sighed, doing her best to not forget to speak with Yang after the fight.

"This is getting us nowhere!" Weiss thought to herself, dodging a pounce from the Strom, almost getting stuck by the circling lightning. "There's only a small window where I can get through…"

Ruby used her semblance, spinning as fast as she could to become a twister. The white wolf's eyes widened when she realized Ruby was going to take it head on, the red twister smashing into the Strom's lightning cloud defense. "Get away from my girlfriend!"

Weiss blushed, not expecting Ruby to yell those words. She watched as the red tornado had managed to slice off the Alpha's tail, the elements it once had now been cut. The white wolf recovered from the shock of what Ruby said, so she ran over, swinging her blade horizontally, aiming for its neck. Her blade met its mark and blood spurted out from the gash in its neck.

The Alpha almost howled in pain, but the blood loss from its neck was too much, bringing it down as the white wolf dropped her weapon, panting a bit as she needed a breath. "It… It had to be an alpha we found first."

Ruby ran over to her partner. "Are you okay?"

Weiss could tell she was concerned about her, so she simply nodded. "I'm fine, Ruby… Just a little annoyed by how it was an alpha we had to find first of all things."

"Aww, lame." Yang whined when she got over. "I was so about to get in that second kill."

The scythe wielder stuck her tongue out at her sister. "Bleh! Not this time, sis. Me and Weiss got it down. And… Whoa, sis. That's, um, that's a lot of blood." She pointed out.

"Oh, uh, heh, yeah." Yang tried to rub some of it off her clothes. "Kinda went a little overboard there, but hey, it's dead, and I'm not. It's a win-win in my books."

Weiss thought about the day she bit into the Strom during initiation, the blood on her lips. It made her heart thump faster, so she shook her head and walked over to the blonde. "Get something to clean that off…"

"Hmm? Why? It's just blood, ice wolf." Yang said, confused at why Weiss sounded upset.

"Just clean it!" Weiss yelled, surprising her team and Glynda. When she saw Yang's reaction, she took a step back. "I-I'm sorry… I just… I would rather you clean that blood off…"

Yang took a step forward, rubbing Weiss' fur with her non bloodied hand, speaking softly to her. "Okay, Weiss. I will. Just take a breath, kay."

"Y-Yes… Okay." The white wolf turned around and walked a bit away, sitting down as her ears drooped, so Ruby ran over to see what was upsetting her so much.

The blonde brawler sighed and rubbed the back of her head, quietly muttering to herself. "Man, first Blake and now Weiss… I just killed one Grimm. I don't get it."

Blake spoke up, softly so the others wouldn't hear. "I don't know why Weiss is upset, but I'm not. I just wanted to ask why you got so… Angry. I don't think I've ever seen you like that before."

Yang was a bit startled by Blake's appearance, but she shrugged in response when she realized what she said to her. "Doesn't seem any different than whenever I got mad before."

"But it was…" Blake remarked. "I'm not saying you lost control or anything, but… Why did you get so angry like that? Just tell me."

"Well, hell I don't know. That stupid Strom knocked you down, so I wasn't about to let it hurt you." Yang explained, lightly blushing a bit. "My dad tells me I shouldn't be getting so angry sometimes…Can't really stay cool when my partner gets hurt though."

The cat Faunus let out a small smile, reaching over to place her hand on Yang's shoulder. "Look, I'm not upset with you about it. Honestly, I should thank you for saving me."

Yang moved away a bit, shaking her head. "You don't have to thank me. I'm still kinda pissed off at myself about what I did anyways." Her eyes widened for a moment and she faced Blake. "N-Not saving you. I'd do that in a heartbeat no matter what… But I meant that I hate losing my cool so easily."

"It happens to the best of us, Yang." Blake stated, looking down at her scarred leg. "I still remember my own moments… So don't think you have a problem here."

"But I do." Yang said in a somber tone, sniffling a bit. "Ice wolf gets worried too, but hers is semblance related. I'm just… Such an idiot. I get angry too damn easily." Blake punched her shoulder. "Ow! What the heck, Bla-?"

"Stop blaming yourself. You're not like that." Blake smiled, trying to be what Yang was to her weeks ago. "I still have a lot to learn about you, but knowing as much as I do, you're not a sulker like I am."

"Y-You're not a sulker." Yang defended.

Blake playfully rolled her eyes. "I'm not dumb, Yang. I can tell how I've been in my own life, but the person who got me to at least, start to break out of that, was you, so don't make us trade places here."

The blonde brawler lightly chuckled, finally getting a smile on her face as she threw her arm around her partner. "I wonder what our clothes would look like if we switched. Y'know, styles and colors. Would be kinda cool to see."

"I-I didn't mean it that way!" Blake exclaimed, and Yang snickered in response.

Ruby looked over her shoulder, seeing that both Blake and her sister were doing okay, so she was glad for that. She turned back to Weiss though, wanting to see what was bugging her. "Weiss, talk to me."

"I'm fine. Just… Seeing the blood on her brought up a bad memory I don't like thinking about." Weiss answered honestly. "Look, I promise to talk about this more when we aren't dealing with this mission."

"But-." Ruby stopped herself, remembering the promise she made to Weiss. "Okay, Weiss. But promise we'll talk when we either camp out, or get back to Beacon. Please?"

The white wolf's tail swayed a bit, happy at how Ruby cared about her so much, so she nodded to her partner. "I promise, Ruby. Now let's get back to finding more Grimm. This place can't clear itself out after all."

Ruby grinned happily, grasping Crescent Rose tightly. "Right!"

Hope the fight scene were good here. I'm still trying to get better with them, and this mission was a good way to get practice in. And yeah, Weiss still has those thoughts on the Strom she killed during initiation.

To JJ- Blake and Yang moments are still fun, and the fact that I can have Blake teasing Yang at times is another plus. So far their first mission is going well. In a way. Glynda being the one to shadow them was a coincidence.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 58. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 59.
