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.
(Mistral.)
Azul wiped the dust off the sign and blinked as he started to read from the sign in question.
Oniyuri? He blinked and stood up before his ear twitched, he heard movement in front of him, but couldn't see it.
Azul's hand went to Violet Shadow, rested his hand on his weapon, and slowly marched forward, having no idea what was going on.
"You know, I was told you'd be a threat… I saw little red hunting wolves, I'd be careful, buddy." Azul heard as he sniffed the air and slowly walked forward while looking over his shoulder.
Azul turned in time to dodge out of the way of a leaping kick from a man with pitch-black hair and eyes like acid yellow eyes.
The man recovered and kicked Azul to the side before grinning and deploying claw-like blades from his arms.
Ruby drew Crescent Rose and went to surge forward only for the scorpion Faunus to wrap his claws around her scythe and flip her to the ground.
Azul punched the ground and drew his weapon. Ruby was fighting someone who heavily favored close range with his weapons from what Azul saw in the first few moments.
Ruby's scythe wouldn't work well, her weapon required distance for Ruby to twirl it and build up speed and power beyond each strike.
Azul flipped into the air and clashed blades with the man who held up his weapons to block them.
The man chuckled insanely and advanced on the young Faunus who twirled Violet Shadow and prepared for battle.
"So, you have a name, or should I guess?" Azul questioned before parrying a slash aimed at his ribs and then leaning away from a stab aimed at his hip.
He backflipped to put some distance between him and the Faunus, only for an overhead slash which he barely managed to block to send him sliding back.
His Aura shimmered only for a bullet to fly by Tyrian and graze his cheek, he turned to see Ruby had planted Crescent Rose into the ground.
"Damn it… he's strong and fast… I'm going to have to get serious." Azul muttered before struggling to his feet.
Tyrian grinned and rushed forward, Ruby spun her scythe only for him to slide, wrap a scorpion tail around her leg and attempt to trip her up.
Ruby managed to catch herself on her scythe, but the Scorpion Faunus already used her weapon to leap up onto a perch.
Azul and Ruby formed back up as Azul turned to Ruby after a moment.
"You think this guy works for Cinder?" Azul asked, Ruby, shrugged and twirled Crescent Rose to prepare for another round of combat.
"Who employees me, my canine companion… Doesn't matter, only that my master is displeased by the fact that you're still alive. She has sent me to remedy that situation posthaste." Azul and Ruby looked at each other.
"Well, that answers my question." He turned to Tyrian who cracked his neck and looked at the duo.
"So, if you're an assassin to Cinder, that must mean you know where she is and what she's planning," Azul stated, Tyrian grinned and shrugged at this, as it amused him that the question was even asked.
"Didn't your team gets killed by a Nevermore?" Tyrian grinned as Azul growled and fired a shot from Violet Shadow's hilt at the Faunus which he deflected with his stinger.
The man threw himself back into the duel, Azul blocked his blades before the man spun on his heel and kicked Azul in the ribs.
Azul doubled over as the man grinned and grabbed his arm before hurling him at Ruby. She watched her boyfriend roll along the ground.
His Aura shimmered before the man threw himself at Ruby again. She blocked a cut with the head of her weapon before he slammed both blades into the shaft of her weapon.
Ruby cried out in pain as she rolled along with the ground Azul while the duo panted and looked at each other.
"Who the hell… do you think you are… to mention my friends?" Azul's eyes narrowed in anger as the Faunus chuckled and looked at the young Faunus.
They barely noticed the bird swoop down with another feather falling from its head.
"Someone who can see that you merely caught her off guard… something I'm planning on fixing." The man grinned and went to strike the wounded duo down.
This was before a metallic clan as Azul and Ruby blinked at seeing Qrow with Harbinger extended as he looked at the duo while using his blade to block the man.
"Oh, a true Huntsmen has entered the battle…" the man grinned as Qrow looked at the Scorpion Faunus and squeezed the trigger.
The shotgun blast sent the man skidding along the ground.
"And who the hell are you supposed to be?" He snarled. The man laughed and used his tail to stand up.
