Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, Mt. Glenn.)
Azul stabbed a Beowolf and then rushed the massive Beowolf and twirled Violet Shadow before launching himself off one of the rocks and then decapitating the massive Beowolf He rolled along the ground and then looked at Ruby who cut a Beowolf in half.
"Rubes, you o-…" Azul started to say before a massive stab of stone fell and nearly crushed Azul. He rolled while it crushed a group of Creeps before more stone started raining down on, him, Ruby, and the Grimm. Azul brushed off his coat and then took off running down the tunnel.
"Ruby, run!" Azul yelled and continued running while Ruby ran after him, slabs of stone continued coming down and Azul heard the sound of Grimm screaming in pain as they were crushed.
He continued to zip down the tunnel, Ruby behind her, pedals bleeding off her cloak as both ran.
Azul skidded to a halt down the cave and looked behind him and saw Ruby slide down next to him, he brushed off his jacket and sheathed his sword on his hip and looked at Ruby.
"We can't go back now… I don't know what caused that cave-in, but we can't go out that way." Azul stated, he cracked his knuckles and went to get his scroll.
"I don't think we're going to be able to get a call to the others down here. I think we're too far down." Ruby said, Azul sighed and pushed the Scroll back into his pocket before nodding.
"I don't know what to do then, we're going to have to find a way out through a hole or something… I don't like it this far down, there's nothing but Grimm and rubble down here…" Azul stated, he put his hands on his hips and moved his glasses away from his eyes to blink.
He didn't have much of a problem down here, he could see and outrun the Grimm if he had to… He also had a weapon meant for fighting the Grimm at close range.
Ruby wasn't, she was a sniper, she needed range to shoot the Grimm and some distance to use her scythe the best. She also wasn't one for running away if she didn't have to. He loved fighting, but they couldn't kill a tunnel's worth of Grimm.
He sighed; he couldn't talk to his team to plan something out because they were deep underground… He also didn't know what was ahead.
Part of him wanted to explore, fight some Grimm and then laugh it off as him being nervous.
"Rubes?" Azul asked, he knew the other part of him wanted to find a way to talk to the others and tell them about what was happening, it would be stupid to go rushing off and then be ambushed by Grimm.
"Yeah?" Ruby asked, Azul pulled his scarf and hood down and then looked at his girlfriend.
"We need to find a way to talk to the others, we need to tell them we're down here…. I don't want to do something without them knowing what we're fighting." Azul said, Ruby, hummed for a second, checking her options to make her choice.
"Yeah, I don't want to fight the Grimm without Weiss knowing we're stuck down here…. She'd wonder why we weren't coming back up." Ruby stated, Azul nodded and put his scarf back into place before he pulled his hood up.
"Ok… Let's look for a hole to the surface and then tell Professor Goodwitch before we do anything else." Azul stated, he walked down into the tunnels with Ruby following him.
"You think they're coming to find us?" Ruby heard from Azul, she shrugged and both continued walking.
"Maybe." Ruby simply said, Azul cracked his neck and then flexed his claws.
"You know we're dealing with a lot more Grimm, Rubes… We're dealing with an army down here… We're dealing with a lot of Grimm, not like on the snowfield." Azul stated, Ruby, hummed.
Azul chuckled in amusement and looked around, he sniffed the air, he could barely smell the Grimm, they weren't something with a smell. He could only smell them if they were dragging rubble or something with a smell.
He sniffed the air and grinned.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I will make a chapter soon. I want to also point out Merlot is going to be appearing soon and he will be a major villain for this arc. The next chapter will be in 2 weeks or so and will show Ruby and Azul trying to contact Ozpin and will introduce Merlot. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
