Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Vale, isolated island.)
The bullhead headed towards the island; Azul was on his scroll. Ozpin continued the talk he had started when Ruby, he, and their teams had set out to find Merlot.
"I cannot advise more caution with Merlot, he is immoral, he is unhinged, and he will try everything within his power to kill all of you… Do NOT underestimate him…. Not even for a second…" Ozpin stated, Azul closed his scroll and turned back to Ruby to speak.
That was when a shot hit the Bullhead and the engine which sparked and exploded into sparks and flames.
"Well… Least we know Merlot is here." Yang said before Azul pulled the door open and Azul jumped out of the Bullhead.
"Azul!" Vermillion yelled before Ruby joined him, Weiss and Vermillion groaned before they slowly joined them.
Azul turned to see the Bullhead slam into the beach. He couldn't tell if the pilot was ok until they saw the wounded man climb out of the cockpit.
"You ok, buddy?" Azul asked, the pilot nodded, Azul watched hulking androids emerge from the sand, the White ones had hulking cannons in their hands and a red 'M' on their chest and eyes. He also saw red glaive-wielding ones which had blue eyes and a blue 'M'.
"I'm guessing these are Merlot Androids?" Azul asked, Weiss, nodded and looked at the androids before turning back to the others.
"Those look like a modified version of an android we were working on…. I can't see a weak point to exploit on them." Weiss stated, Azul drew Violet Shadow and looked at the group.
"We find one… AMET, handle the ones with glaives, Rubes, you got the ones with canons?" Azul asked, Ruby, nodded and rushed forward with Crescent Rose.
Azul dashed after the first android and used the momentum to drop into a slide. He slashed at the android's legs while it tried to stab him.
A small number of sparks danced out from the cut, but it didn't do much else. Azul was then shoulder knocked to the side before he sighed.
He fired at the ground behind him while he rushed back at the android. He saw Ruby jump over a white android while wrapping the crook of Crescent Rose's blade around the droid's neck and firing.
It slammed the droid to the ground and caused its neck to spark. Azul dodged a slash at his head while clambering up the droid's shoulder.
"These scrap heaps are though; you guys found a chink in their armor? I'm not making any progress on this guy…" Azul stated, he buried his blade into the droid, he fired while he tried to drive the blade deeper.
"Nope, this one is just as tough, I'm going to try its back," Ruby stated while a pack of Beowolves rushed in.
"Seriously? We have Grimm to deal with now?!" Vermillion yelled; Azul turned to look at his second in command before he flipped off the droid's shoulder.
He fired into its back while he to the ground before he rolled back to avoid a Beowolf. He then drove Violet Shadow into the mouth of a Beowolf who snapped at him.
"You forgot Merlot has brainwashed Grimm from what Ozpin said? Do you want them gone? You help us kill them." Azul said before another slash from the android almost decapitated him, he was forced to take a step back before Yang managed to punch a hole in her android.
It fell to the ground and fired a grenade which shattered the armor of Azul's android. Azul also watched a Beowolf get consumed with the force of the explosion.
Azul grinned and rushed at the android, he stepped off the head of a Beowolf who was angling for Ruby. He flew over the android who he fired into the back of.
Oil spilled over the floor before Azul angled at the droid, he rushed at it. He buried his blade into its back which caused the android to topple to the ground.
Azul grinned and made sure not to get any oil on his body before he bisected a Beowolf who went to leap at him.
"Thank you, Yang," Azul said before Ruby managed to decapitate her android, and then she brought up Crescent Rose and stabbed the android before firing.
The android was bisected as well and dropped to the ground, Azul turned to Ruby who blinked and then moved on to help Weiss deal with an android whose feet she had frozen.
"She both scares me and amazes me…" Azul whispered before he nearly was cut in half by another android. He leaped onto the tree branches.
He turned to see everyone was focusing on the androids, he saw Weiss slash the back of an android before using a glyph to toss it into the ocean.
He chuckled and leaped at a Beowolf; Azul saw the Beowolf reflected in his blade.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I'm sorry I haven't been updating this story lately, I want to point out chapters will be every other Monday or so. The next chapter will be in 2 or 3 weeks and will show Azul and the others fighting the rest of Merlot's troops. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
