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, Bullhead inbound to Vale.)
Azul and Ruby looked at each other while they were carried back towards Beacon along with the rest of team RWBY and AMET.
Azul pulled off his ripped gloves, his and the other's clothes had been damaged in the fight and while they had replacements. They would get new ones at Beacon and keep the old ones as backup.
They had nothing on their mind but their fights in the tournament. They just didn't know what would happen soon… And the fights that would be coming up soon.
They would be back by night; Azul closed his eyes while Ruby leaned against him.
(White Fang base)
Merlot was walked through the group of White Fang soldiers to a monitor.
"Ah, it is a pleasure to meet you again, my Queen." Merlot said with a bow as a voice came over the speakers.
"Dr. Merlot, your experiments have made the Grimm much more effective in battle and you have distracted team RWBY and AMET…. We have the data on the daughter of Summer Rose… You are aware of how dangerous she was… And the son of the violent vigilante…. Having them in Vale puts a problem in our plans." The voice stated before Merlot smiled.
"However, the resources we have invested in Merlot Industries have slowed down our other operations… We will give you another chance to correct things… But do not forget who saved you from Mt. Glenn… And who funded your research on the Grimm. You are dismissed, Doctor… It's time for the next phase of our plan." Merlot heard as the White Fang soldiers started to move the doctor away, unaware that their plan wouldn't go the way they expected it.
(Bullhead with AMET and RWBY)
If there was anything Azul and Ruby wanted to be doing, it was passed out when they got to Beacon. They were tired, they were drained from heading to Beacon for 2 hours and not being there yet.
Azul looked at a damaged canister and sighed and tossed it out the door as his damaged cloak, ripped from a piece of metal slashing into it on the way out of the base.
Azul turned to look at Ruby while Weiss cleared up her throat.
"I feel like nobody wants to speak about the Grimm we saw and all those tanks and equipment." Ruby heard from Weiss while Azul turned to Ruby.
"I don't know what to say. I didn't think you could make Grimm any worse, but the doctor seemed like he did it… I thought Roman and his group had been the worst thing we'd deal with." Azul said before Ruby turned to look at her boyfriend.
"You seem a lot more tired, you ok, Azul?" Ruby asked while Ruby nodded and kissed her forehead which made her blush before Ruby slapped Yang's arm as her sister smirked.
"I'm fine, I'm just wondering what happened to Roman, he gave up easily, the crash wouldn't have been enough to take him out of the fight. I didn't see a scratch on him." Azul said before Yang spoke up.
"So, does anyone think that we're going to get special rewards or anything like that in Vale? We did just stop a mutated Grimm Army from being thrown at Vale and the rest of the world." Yang said while Azul shrugged.
"I doubt it, I would like to get some new clothes, that few explosions I got hit with nearly shattered my Aura and they messed up my clothing. I'm glad I didn't have to repair my weapon at all." Azul said before Ruby looked at her ripped-up sleeves on her dress.
"Yeah, I got my shirt ripped when a piece of fang sliced my dress," Ruby said while Azul looked at her shoulder and blushed.
"Least your shirt isn't ripped across the back… I thought I ran fast enough not to get hit." Azul said before he looked at his Scroll.
He sighed and brushed off his cloak and pulled down the remains of his cloak.
"So, are we going to deal with the data of what we saw in the place with Ozpin?" He heard from Vermillion, and he hummed and looked at Ruby for a second.
"I already saw Weiss send it, thank you, Weiss, I don't think we had the energy and we're probably all going to pass out when we get there…" Azul said before he rubbed his eyes and pulled his glasses off his eyes and sighed and looked around.
His Cerulean eyes looked tired and ragged. He sighed and slid down the wall to the ground.
He rubbed his eyes and put on his cracked glasses and cracked his hands.
"I'm going to pass out when we get to Beacon and all of that, you get me up when we're there," Azul said and closed his eyes for a second.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! I do want to point out that yes, the clothing was damaged so the others could get their new outfits. The next chapter will be on next Monday or so and will show the group getting new outfits and preparing for the tournament and RWBY'S fight with Team ABRN. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
PS: Penny's story will hopefully be out later and Winter or Glynda's is next.
