(Frenda POV)
Frenda was sleeping when she heard Beurling shouting out "They are here!" like a shot Maple and the teachers were up and out the doors to their positions, Frenda and Tomoko were slightly slower than the rest of the group and were slightly behind Beurling and Fídi in running to the courtyard.
Maple ran to the top of the tower while Tammy ran to the front wall along with those that were meant to be sharpshooting. Tammy shouted out orders to the troops up on the wall while Ironclad formed up his troops in front of the gate on the barricade in two lines.
"Steady, steady, remember your soldiers of Atlas, you can do this, take heart." Ironclad encouraged, with his sword drawn.
Frenda walked to her brother who was to the side of the barricade "Hey." she whispered tapping him on the shoulder.
"See you after this." Frenda smiled holding out her hand.
"Keep safe sis." Sininen smiled as she walked back to stand Fídi.
"He'll be fine." Fídi smiled, Frenda turned to see that Fídi had already pulled her hood down.
Frenda nodded before her attention was caught by a volley of shots coming from the wall, it was then she noticed Beurling and Tomoko weren't around, Frenda turned to see Beurling and Tomoko setting up in the corner, behind some barrels.
Frenda gave the pair a thumbs up before she turned back to the gate, letting out a breath and jumping on the spot, her nerves starting to get to her, she was spinning her hammer in her hands, as the soldiers shot individually now.
Then the sounds of shots hitting the wall filled her ears, followed by the occasional cry as one of the soldiers were hit. It felt like time was going in slow motion to her, it felt like some terrible monster was coming and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
Glancing to her side she wondered how Fídi was able to keep such a straight face and look so calm, given what was about to come through the doors. The shots and shouts got closer and closer, Frenda found herself getting rather frustrated 'Come on, come on!' Frenda shouted in her head 'Get in here and fight me!' she thought it was kind of crazy that she wanted them get in the fort, but the wait was killing her.
Frenda wasn't sure how long it took for the shouts to reach the gate's entrance, she could barely see over the barricade the first sign of them reaching the gate was a sand storm kicking up in front of the gate, looking up she saw Tammy her hands spread out before her.
"First rank fire, reload!" shouted Ironclad followed by a volley of shots "Second rank fire!".
The first rank started to fire again once the second was reloading, when suddenly a person floated over the fort and threw a bag at the barricade.
"Get back!" Ironclad shouted. The troops scattered as best they could as the back hit on of the trucks and exploded, sending the truck backwards to its side.
Frenda took a step back, seeing bandits run through the gap at, Frenda heard Tomoko's machine gun open fire at the gap, Frenda followed suit firing her machine gun into the gap, as she made to replace the magazine the bandits poured through the gap, led by a trio, the first being a person in black armour and wielding a black mace, the other two darted to the sides of the mace wielder, Fídi went after one of them, who was heading for the store house, leaving Frenda with the person with the black armour.
Then two more bandits ran past them and charged her, Frenda swung her hammer at the first one sending him to the side, the second tried to bring her sword down, Frenda caught it on the shaft of the hammer, she then twisted the hammer's head around and thrust forward, hitting the girl in the chest sending her sprawling.
Frenda quickly glanced around everywhere troops and bandits were fighting with swords and bayonets and rifle butts.
As she looked back at the armoured figure, she saw Sininen trying to fight them, the figure bashed Sininen's sword to the side and grabbed him by the neck "You aren't even worth the effort." The figure spat as they shoved him to the ground and tried to bring the mace down on to Sininen's head, just before the Mace made contact a bullet hit the head and made it fly to the side, Frenda looked to see Maple reloading her rifle.
Frenda dived forward and swung her hammer hitting the armoured figure back "Go bro, I got this."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, your out classed, besides I got help."
"Good luck." Sininen gasped and went to fight on.
"Haven't I fought you before?" came the deep echoed voice.
"Yeah, the village, didn't get to fight you properly because you ran, want to try again?"
"You have guts I'll give you that, what's your name?"
"Frenda and I take it your Roșu?"
"Ah, one of Tammy's new pups I see, yes that's me, now let us begin." Roșu roared as she swung her mace, Frenda caught the mace on the shaft before catching the mace head with her hammers own head before thrusting the hammer forward and hitting Roșu in the helmet, making her stagger back.
As Frenda swung her hammer to attack again, Roșu counter swung but was knocked off balance when another shot hit the leader in the shoulder, allowing Frenda to hit the leader square in the chest, followed by an explosion forcing the leader to her knees.
'To easy.' Frenda thought as she did an overhead swing. But then she was interrupted by a trio of bandits charging in to help their leader, she turned to face them, the first brought up a rifle but Frenda beat the rifle away, followed by an explosive kick sending him backwards sprawled on the floor.
The second tried again to shoot, but his gun flew from her hand and Frenda beat him aside to, the third tried to slash down on Frenda's back, but the sound of metal dinging filled Frenda ears, she turned to see the bandit laying on the ground his sword broke in two and bullet wound to the shoulder.
Just as she turned face Roșu, she felt her feet go from underneath her and hit the ground on her back hard. She saw the mace coming straight for her head when another bullet hit Roșu in the shoulder stopping the attack and knocking her off balance, Frenda kicked Roșu in the back of her leg with her left leg, making the leader kneel, before she kicked her in her helmeted face, she then grabbed her hammer and stood up as did Roșu who removed her helmet.
As Roșu removed her helmet, Frenda saw she had crimson hair and baby blue eyes "You're not bad as a fighter why fight for Tammy join us, you'd make a lot of money."
"I'm not a huntress for the cash." Frenda said as she swung the hammer again.
Roșu dodged back and counter swung, which was again stopped by Maples rifle "You have a rather annoying partner you know."
"She might be a protective mother type, but she's a lot better than you, now shut up and fight." Frenda shouted charging in.
Another bandit tried to come in from the side, but Maple took him out. Frenda brought her hammer down but Roșu blocked it, before she kicked Frenda back, Frenda then felt a round hit her in the back, making her aura flicker.
"Seems she's not as good a shot as she thinks she is."
"Is that meant to get me mad?" Frenda scoffed "I know you kicked me into the round, Maples not reckless, try having someone you trust you might work out it's not that easy to wined me up."
"Tell Tammy that!" Roșu shouted as she pushed Frenda to the side, before she shot a blinding light towards Maple, all Frenda saw of her friend was her diving to the side and disappear in a cloud of dust "Irritating pest." Roșu muttered at her work.
Before she could do anything else Roșu swung her mace catching Frenda and sending her backwards, as she got up Roșu kicked her sending her rolling backwards.
"Not so tough without your back up, are you?"
Frenda threw a canister at Roșu "Really?" Roșu smiled smugly "You're that desperate you throw a thermos at me, my men told me of your trick."
"Not a trick this time." Frenda smiled.
Roșu looked down just in time to see the canister explode in a blinding light at her feet, as she staggered back Frenda charged in and punched the woman in an upper cut sending her rolling back.
Frenda kicked her hammer back up to her hands as Roșu got up to kneeling position "Tammy will betray you, just like she betrayed all of us!"
"Save it." Frenda spat "Whatever you think happened, it doesn't give you the right to hurt innocent people and children." she spat as she round house kicked Roșu, but Roșu grabbed her mace and brought it up and Frenda went flying back in a blast of light.
Frenda stood up winded as Roșu tried to swing her mace but was once again interrupted by a shot from Maple "Irritating pest!" Roșu muttered, as she aura broke.
Then the sound of aircraft filled the air "Your out of time." Frenda gasped as she stood up.
"It would seem so." Roșu smiled, she kicked her discarded helmet towards Frenda as she ran away.
"Hey, get back here!" Frenda shouted after Roșu, but the bandit shot her again and sent her backwards again "Another time!" she shouted as she got lost in the crowd of running bandits.
"Cowardly bugger." Frenda cursed as she got up, seeing the bandits running through the gates back the way they came, she grabbed her stomach where she'd been blasted back 'I need a vacation after this.' she joked to herself.
"You ok sis?" Sininen asked as he ran up to her, she put a thumbs up in response.
Then a scream caught her attention.
(Beurling POV- Just before the Bandits breach the gate)
"Beurling?" Tomoko asked, the sounds of gunfire filling both their ears.
Beurling turned to her partner "What's up?" asked only to have her hands grabbed by the wolf faunus "Promise me you'll stay safe."
Beurling smiled and squeezed her partners hands gently "Only if you do the same." Tomoko nodded and Beurling nodded to with a smile to reassure her partner, but deep down she was nervous, she hadn't slept well that night even with Tomoko's usual help method.
She was remembering the village and what had happened the thought of that happening again, made her blood cold, she was also worried about her partner being captured, the idea of Tomoko in those cages, made her stomach turn, she wasn't going to let that happen.
Beurling let go of the wolf faunus's hands before she turned back to look at the gate 'Charlotte, please, help me keep Tomoko safe this time.' she thought to herself. As the sounds of shouts and gunfire brought Beurlings attention back to the gate, Beurling saw sand kick up in front of the fort and guessed Tammy was using her semblance.
Bandits started to stumble though the gate groaning from the sand kicked up in their face, then Ironclads voice filled the air "Frist rank fire, reload!" shouted Ironclad followed by a volley of shots "Second rank fire!".
Beurling saw the first rank started to fire again once the second was reloading, when suddenly a person flew over the fort and threw a bag at the barricade, causing one of the trucks to explode and flip over.
Beurling a group of bandits try to run through the gap in the barricade, Beurling tapped Tomoko on the shoulder "Aim for the gap."
Tomoko dutifully aimed and pulled the trigger, Frenda joined into followed suit firing their machine guns into the gap, as the pair tried to replace their magazines, Beurling saw the bandits poured through the gap, led by a trio, one jumped high into the air from the gap off towards the store house which Ironclad and Fídi went to intercept them.
Frenda went forward to deal with the person in black armour with mace, Beurling her brother ran along the barricade and went to fight them as well, the third of the trio ran towards them, just as Tomoko reloaded she took aim at the person, who ran head long at them, Beurling jumped over the barrels to intercept as Tomoko fired, just as Tomoko opened fire the person who Beurling could tell was a girl turned into a black shadow with golden eyes and started to divide into multiples of herself.
'Guessing that's this Jac girl we got told about.' Beurling thought as she took up her stance between Tomoko and their assailant.
Six shadow figures stood before Beurling, like they were sizing her up. Two more bandits came up behind the now shadowy girl.
The shadow figures charged forward followed by the bandits, leaving what Beurling guessed was the original girl standing watching.
Beurling heard Tomoko's gun fire a burst at one of the shadows and her aura start to tingle, which meant Tomoko was using her semblance, Beurling watched as the clone shattered like glass and hit one of the bandits in the leg, the pieces of the hit figure, flew in all directions, hitting two more which also shattered.
Beurling punched the figure which shattered again the pieces hit her and made her aura flicker, the bandit followed behind the figure and tired to swung their sword at Beurling's head, Beurling took a step back before igniting her flame and punching the bandit backwards.
"Impressive." came a cold voice "You'd make a good bandit with your skills."
"Save it, not interested." Beurling retorted as she dowsed her flames and drew her Kukri.
The figure looked behind Beurling towards Tomoko, Beurling responded by stepping between the two blocking the shadows view.
"Not even interested in being allowed to go free if you hand over that faunus for us to sell."
Beurling's flames reignited, as she felt rage swell with her like a tsunami at the idea "You lay a finger on her I'll break every bone in your body!" she growled.
The shadow dissipated, the girl before Beurling had long flowing blonde air, green eyes, at her hip was sword on her right side and on the left was a butcher's knife, Beurling had to admit Jac was rather pretty, a contrast to her personality "So, you are that Jac girl Tammy told us about." Beurling sighed.
"Ah, you know the devils name, now feel her wrath." Jac smirked she drew her sword and turned back into a shadow and brought up her clones before running to the side of Beurling as a group of four more bandits came at her from the other side.
Beurling pointed at the bandits before going for the clones, as she ran towards them, she heard Tomoko's machine gun firing behind her.
The first clone Beurling slashed with her Kukri and once again the clones shattered like glass, the second one to attack Beurling again tried to slash with but this time the shadow parried, only for a third to run right into her and shatter making her aura fizzle again.
The second shadow thrust the sword to try and hit Beurling in the head but Beurling parried it away with her vambrace, shadow four hit Beurling in the back before she could counter attack.
The second shadow kicked Beurling her own shadow bloke off her and shattered once again making Beurling's aura fizzle.
Just as the fifth one ran at her on the ground Tomoko's gun fired again, hitting and shattering the shadow.
"Don't just sit there, get up and help me beat her." Tomoko shouted, having got out from behind the barrels.
Beurling swung her leg out and caught Jac behind the leg, before she back flipped and caught the girl on the chin with her boot.
Once Beurling landed on her feet and stood next to Tomoko "Thanks, was that from those comic books?"
"It's manga's and yes."
"Your banned from reading them for a week." Beurling sighed as she ran back to fight Jac.
"Hey, that's mean." Tomoko pouted, but was distracted by more bandits coming at her or firing at her.
Beurling ran head long at Jac as she got up groaning, just as Jac stood up and faced Beurling, Beurling threw her disks at Jac making her flinch and stop her getting her guard up.
Beurling followed up by punching the blonde in the stomach, Jac staggered back trying to cut at Beurling, but Beurling grabbed the blade, she then hit Jac with the pommel of her Kukri blade.
Beurling slashed Jac across the front as she was still stunned, Jac's black aura fizzled, Buerling followed up by round house kicking Jac leaving her sprawled out on the ground "Tammy always was good at picking good fighters." Jac groaned as she got up.
"Give up!" Beurling shouted, trying hard to ignore the sounds of Tomoko's gun going off behind her, she was fighting the urge to go back and help her partner when she heard the bandits return fire.
"Was that meant to work?" Jac coughed.
"No, it's just I can say I gave you chance."
Jac smirked, but it was quickly removed by the sounds of aircraft and rockets firing outside the fort, Beurling looked to see Atlas military aircraft swoop over the fort and fire rockets at the outside entrance of the fort.
"Looks like you lose." Beurling smirked as a pair of rockets hit the tower they had been sleeping in and a bit fell down and landed next to the barricade.
"This time." Jac snarled as she turned back into her shadow form and the five shadow clones charged at Beurling, she slashed the first one but the other four ran past her and right towards Tomoko as she was reloading, Beurling turned back to see Jac pick up a grenade from a wounded Atlas soldier and pull the pin and throw it, and ran to the rubble from the tower to jump over the barricade.
Beurling felt a cold chill run over her as she grenade went up in the air towards Tomoko, Beurling ran right to Tomoko just in time to see her hit by the four clones and her aura fizzled.
"Tomoko!" Beurling screamed as she hugged the faunus tight, just as she saw the grenade blow up behind her, the pair of them flew into the air and crash into the barrels and blacked out for a second.
As Beurling started to get up groaning, she looked to her side and laying on the ruins of the barrels was Tomoko laying still 'Oh no!' Beurling starting to panic slightly, worried that history was repeating again, as she shook Tomoko and was relieved to have the girl groan and start to get up.
"Are you ok?" Beurling asked.
"Yeah, are you?"
Beurling responded by hugging the wolf faunus again, feeling relieved "I'm good." Beurling replied smiling 'Thank you charlotte.' she thought as she held on to Tomoko like she might disappear if she let go, Beurling felt relief as she just held the girl close knowing that she was safe, feeling a silent tear role down her cheek, as Tomoko returned the hug and bury her face in Beurling's neck.
They moved back but kept the hug going, Beurling looked at Tomoko the pair smiled at each other, the pair started to lean closer, till a scream filled their ears, looking to the side they saw the storehouse doors open and Snow cradling someone on the ground with Fídi leaning next to the person. Beurling and Tomoko immediately jumped up and ran to help, all the way Beurling tried to calm her heart down.
Who is Snow cradling guess we'll find out in Fídi and Tammy's part, oh yes, Fídi's getting a POV spot light next chapter.
Also sorry for the almost kiss but the timing wasn't right.
