Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, Painting the Town.)

Azul flipped off a lamppost and onto the highway, he jumped down before zipping past cars and bikes.

"Sure, Blake and Quinn get into White Fang trouble, Vermillion gets his studies interrupted by this, Weiss has to stop… Whatever Weiss is doing… And Jason and Yang get ahead of me and Ruby… Somehow…"

Azul muttered to himself, he kept his eye on the sky, not the rampaging Atlesian Paladin 290 in front of him.

Burgundy had been seen at the White Fang base…. Azul could only guess that he was trying to assist his brother… Something that had been interrupted by Quin and Blake, causing them to instead be chased by the brothers.

"Got you, old man…"

Azul said before he turned and rushed off a car at a passing Bullhead.

He leapt off a Bullhead, aimed for a light pole and then leapt off the light at the Bullhead and landed on the landing skid of the Bullhead.

Burgundy pulled the door open only for Azul to launch a kick at him, knocking the crime boss into the VTOL.

"Hello."

Azul said as he climbed into the cockpit of the Bullhead as Burgundy levelled his sword at the Faunus as the White Fang soldier at the controls turned in alarm as Burgundy turned to the soldier.

"Keep flying… I'll take care of the…. You know what, your nothing but a brat, I won't use manners with you until your beaten into paste!"

Burgundy growled before swinging at Azul as Azul blocked the blade with Violet Shadow as the Bullhead flew through the city.

"Burgundy, where the hell are you? These brats are fighting me all at once!"

Roman yelled over the Comm, Azul turned to look at the pilot before he angled his sword at the cockpit and fired a shot.

The pilot leapt in shock before the controls sparked as Burgundy kicked Azul back, he tumbled out of the failing Bullhead.

Azul quickly grabbed Violet Shadow as he fell and dug it into one of the supports for the highway.

Azul watched the Bullhead slam into an under-construction part of the Highway as Burgundy growled in anger and leapt down to the bottom of the Highway where Azul saw the Paladin from before attacking RWBY.

Azul watched Burgundy transform his sword into its Tommy gun form and open fire on RWBY as Azul growled and leapt down, he reached out to grab the edge of the highway as he climbed up, Azul flipped off of the guardrail and then landed on the other side of the road, he leapt down and fired 2 shots from Violet Shadow.

Azul landed in a crouch as Burgundy, who had been forced to back off due to the gunfire turned to fire at Azul before his arm was frozen before a sniper shot took him off his feet and then a figure tossed him into the Paladin.

Azul turned to see Quinn, Vermillion and Jason as the team stood against the 2 crime lords.

"Hey, Rubes…"

Azul said as he stood next to Ruby as the 8 teens stood against the Paladin and Burgundy.

"Having trouble, little brother?"

Roman asked from inside of the Paladin as Burgundy stood and faced the teens.

"No… But I'm going to cut you all to ribbons with Ombre Corruption…. Little brats have cost us too much… Cinder will kill us…"

Burgundy said as Azul bumped Ruby in the shoulder as he readied Violet Shadow.

"I'll Leave Cane Brain to you guys, let us handle his little brother…"

Azul said before rushing Burgundy, Roman fired at him with the Paladin, forcing him to dodge as Ruby and Weiss attacked the Paladin with a Glyph enhanced stream of Bullets.

Azul slashed at Burgundy as he leapt over Burgundy to lunge at him from behind, Burgundy blocked this as the Paladin tried to punch Azul before Yang knocked the mech back into a pillar with a punch before Vermillion locked blades with Burgundy as Azul rushed him.

"You can't beat us all, old man!"

Azul said as Jason and Quinn rushed in, Blake slashed at the Paladin, which was trying to climb to its feet, damaging its arm as Azul turned to Vermillion.

"Verm, take out the Paladin!"

He yelled as Burgundy slashed him back as he was distracted, sending Azul skidding along the ground.

Azul growled as Quinn locked blades with Burgundy as Vermillion spun his sword around before slamming it into the ground, Azul was glad Vermillion had the Semblance of creating ice.

The Paladin, designed for heavy combat, wasn't designed for extreme freezing yet and shattered under its weight, making Roman roll out of the machine.

"No!"

Burgundy yelled as Jason slashed at him, making him cry in pain before Azul leapt off Jason's neck before he slashed Burgundy across the chest, he blocked the attack but it slammed him into Roman.

Ruby rushed at them as Roman aimed his cane at them before she knocked him off his feet before Weiss slammed her weapon into the ground, making a Glyph launch the duo into the air before they slammed face-first into the pavement.

"Ow…"

Roman groaned as Burgundy slammed a fist on the ground after this.

"NO! I WON'T BE BEATEN BY BRATS, BURGUNDY TORCHWICK DOESN'T LOSE!"

Burgundy screamed as Azul rested his weapon on his shoulder as the others aimed their weapons at the duo before Mist and a girl with an Umbrella dropped down and faced the group.

Azul looked at the other girl, she had pink and brown hair with streaks of white in it and a pink and brown eye to match, she had a white and pink jacket and black and white boots with high heels, a brown corset and a few necklaces.

"Mint… And I see you brought your little sister Neo… Good…"

Burgundy said as Neo bowed at them, Azul blinked before Jason fired a round at the group.

Their image shattered as the sound of Bullhead arrived, ferrying the group away as Azul watched the Bullhead go.

"Great…. They got away… And they have matching sidekicks…"

Quinn muttered as Weiss turned to the others.

"Yeah, they made our plans… Fall apart?"

Weiss put in as Azul chuckled as Yang shook her head at the others.

"No, just no…"

Yang said before Azul elbowed her in the ribs.

"Knock it off Yang, you're not the only one allowed to crack jokes…. C'mon, let's get going to Beacon… Verm, Quinn, you guys haven't told me what you found out…"

Azul said as AMET nodded and walked towards the other parts of the Highway as Azul turned to Ruby.

"See you at Beacon, Rubes…. I'm glad we could fight like this… It was awesome!"

Azul yelled before he rushed off as Yang turned to Ruby with a smirk.

"So… You going to ask him to the dance?"

Yang asked before Ruby elbowed her sister in the ribs, causing her to double over as she turned to watch Azul leave with a blush on her face.

No one noticed a figure on the highway watching the action before she walked away, her glass heels clicking on the road as she turned and walked away.

She had to meet with the rest of her group, eager to make another plan.

(Beacon, 1 hour later)

Azul panted as he walked off the Bullhead before collapsing as soon as he reached the first bench.

"Ok… After all, that running, and the adrenaline wears off at the worst time…"

Azul muttered before Jason collapsed on the bench along with Vermillion and Quinn.

"Please get off me…"

Azul muttered, he didn't get an answer as he turned to the others, he smiled under his scarf as he slowly climbed to his feet and dragged himself towards the school, followed by the other members of his team.

He turned his ears to listen to the sounds of Ruby's boots, Weiss's or any sign of team RWBY.

They entered the school, eager to reach their dorm and pass out for a while.

Azul cracked his neck as they walked out of the hallway and into their room, Azul walked to his bed and then collapsed on his bed, tossing his boots to the side and then pulling his cloak and scarf off as he allowed himself to pass out.

"Finally, home sweet home…"

Azul muttered as he passed out for the day, exhausted.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter is done! Yep, the dance is coming up and Burgundy and Roman have been driven off… I want to say the upcoming fights will be much longer than this one…. The next chapter will be next Sunday or so and will take place during Burning the Candle and will show Azul and his team talking about the dance and Ruby wondering if she should ask Azul. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
