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.)

Azul continued to slash through Beowolves and Creeps left and right. He slid to a stop before brushing off his cloak and huffed. He hummed before sniffing the air.

"I got to find them; I find them? I stop the invasion." He muttered before he cracked his fingers and looked at the flames and rubble all over the city.

"Someone planned this many months. They had a backup plan in case the train didn't work… The White Fang attacking the city was supposed to rile up dissent, so the Grimm were drawn to Vale. I got to stop whoever is behind this or Vale is going to burn, and they probably use it as a battering ram against the other kingdoms. Nobody would launch an attack against Vale during the festival if they weren't planning to slay as many people and target all the kingdoms." Azul stated, he looked up at the Atlesian fleet.

They were giving as good as they got, but he saw that the Atlas cruisers were better at engaging capital ships or other larger enemy craft as their shots did miss at times.

"Azul? I just got a report of a scroll used trying to hack into the CCTS system, I'm sending them your location. My forces are too spread trying to hold the line at Vale so civilians could be evacuating." Azul heard from the general.

He hummed and nodded before tapping the earpiece 2 times and looking out into the city.

"I'll try, general. I don't know what the best decision is. My entire team is still back at the arena possibly." Azul said. He rushed off into the city.

He slashed a Beowolf before a Nevermore chased him, shooting feathers as the Faunus Huntsmen in training slid to a stop. He backflipped through the mass of feathers before an Atlesian dropship opened fire on the Nevermore. It screamed with pain as the bullets chopped off its wing.

"Thank you, pilot." He said before zipping off. He couldn't do much more at the moment.

He had to conserve stamina and Aura, going too fast meant he'd have no energy to fight.

He wished he had Ruby with him. Azul knew he was better off fighting with his friend and battle partner backing him up when it came to battle. He racked his brain for who else was behind the attack.

"I have the chain girl with what I saw was revolvers and green hair. I also have the guy with boots and clanky… Maybe mechanical legs from the stomping and noises I heard. Roman is off in Mistral… Then we have Burgundy, those 2 girls… Then whoever attacked me and Ruby at the dance." Azul sniffed the air and picked up a very distinct Dust trail.

Azul hummed and smirked before he revved up his feet. He threw himself into the direction of the Dust trail, he could smell the woman from the dance.

(With Ruby)

Ruby chopped the head off an Ursa before she was knocked back by a Beowolf as she tried to help a line of Atlas soldiers.

Another dropship dropped a group of AK-200s onto the battlefield. They advanced on the Grimm before she smiled and twirled her scythe.

"Ms. Rose, has there been an area cleared out at Vale?" Ironwood asked while Ruby planted Crescent Rose into the ground.

She shot a group of Ursa before answering.

"Yeah. Azul and the others, ok?" Ruby asked. She watched a few dropships land along with an AirBus.

"Mr. Violet is fine. He's busy tracking down whoever is behind the attack. I sent him the support of the Ace Ops when most of Vale is safe enough for them to head into town. I'm also dealing with asking my other specialists to secure the city. We can't offer much help because of the mass of flying Grimm." Ironwood stated. Ruby hummed.

"I'll hold off as many as I can, General… But what do we do about the people deep in the city? There are still people coming in from all over the city." Ruby didn't get an answer without a very large sigh.

"We save as many people as we can, Ruby. I'm going to move the fleet back to Vale to shield the transports. Anyone at Amity Arena will be safe currently, the systems are designed to hold off groups of Grimm like this. I need you to help clear out the area at Vale." Ironwood stated.

That was when a massive roar shook the city. The area far off into the distance 'roared' again.

"Fudge." She spoke.

Ruby cocking her weapon again and she prepared to fight the Grimm until the people were gone and the city was safe. She could only hope Azul was ok. She frowned and crouched down to rush forward with her Semblance.
