RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth
As Yang and Blake walked through the junkyard, Blake stopped and looked at a bumper from an old Vale police car.
"The old style police cars in Vale had bumpers made of reinforced steel, right?" Blake asked.
"I think so" Yang said.
"Can Ruby machine this into a blade for Gambol Shroud?" Blake asked.
"Ruby can machine feathers into a blade" Yang said "she's happiest when she's making weapons and she has made it into an art form."
"Awesome" Blake said.
She picked up the bumper but groaned from the weight and began walking towards the office. The heavy bumper making her hobble slightly.
She put it down, turned to Yang and asked "would you mind?"
"Not at all" Yang said smiling.
She hefted the bumper up and put it over her shoulder. As they walked to the office to pay for the bumper, Yang saw a motorcycle leaned up against a pile of scrap metal.
"Perfect" she thought as she walked by "I'll have to come back."
After paying, they walked back to the house.
"Got something for ya, Sis" Yang said.
Ruby walked into the room and smiled.
"Perfect" she said "I'll have plenty of spare steel left over for future use. Bring it downstairs Sis. I'll be able to do the work here, Weiss was right. That workshop is packed with tools and machines."
Two hours later, Blake and Yang were sitting in the living room. Yang was watching an old action movie while Blake was reading a novel.
"It's ready Blake" Ruby said as she walked into the room.
Blake put her book down and stood up. Ruby handed a freshly repaired Gambol Shroud to Blake. She gave it a few experimental swings, then transformed it into a pistol and aimed it around the room.
"This is perfect Ruby" she said "thanks."
"My pleasure" Ruby said.
Suddenly their scrolls went off, Ruby pulled hers out and said "grimm."
Weiss came running down the stairs.
"Let's go!" Ruby said. All four of them ran out the door with Ruby in the lead.
"Where are we going?" Weiss asked.
"Shopping district, downtown Vale" Ruby said.
"Take Weiss and go ahead" Blake said "Yang and I will catch up."
Ruby nodded then grabbed Weiss and they disappeared in a red and white blur, leaving rose petals behind.
"We'll get there faster along the rooftops" Blake said.
"After you" Yang said.
Blake threw Gambol Shroud at the top of a fire escape and quickly climbed up. Yang fired Ember Celica at the ground, propelling herself up. She grabbed the fire escape on the second floor then fired again, propelling herself higher.
She reached the rooftop next to Blake and asked "what do you say Blakey, last one there buys the first round afterwards?"
"You're on" Blake said.
She took off across the rooftops, jumping from building to building. Yang appeared next to her as she ran. Meanwhile, Ruby and Weiss appeared at the shopping district.
Weiss wobbled a little and asked "how can you do that without getting sick?"
"I guess you get used to it" Ruby said as she took Crescent Rose off of her back and extended it as she spun it around. Weiss drew Myrtenaster and rotated the dust cylinder to ice dust. Several ursas and beowolves were terrorizing people running and hiding in shops. The huntresses rushed forward towards the grimm. Weiss stabbed an Ursa in the neck. It disintegrated as Weiss spun around and decapitated a Beowolf. She pointed Myrtenaster at two Ursas and froze them. Ruby cut a beowolf in half before shooting several ursas and beowolves. An ursa major approached them, the large spikes on its back setting it apart and adding to the intimidation factor. Weiss spun Myrtenaster's cylinder to fire dust and aimed at the ursa major. The ursa roared and charged her. A beowolf charged her from the right, seemingly out of nowhere. Weiss quickly turned and fired a fireball at the beowolf, killing the grimm but leaving herself vulnerable. Ruby appeared between Weiss and the ursa major in a burst of rose petals and prepared Crescent Rose. Before she could attack, the huge paw of the ursa major slammed into her, sending her flying towards Weiss. She tried to catch her with a glyph, but Ruby slammed into her before she could summon one. The ursa major stood over them on its hind legs and raised a paw with its deadly claws ready to strike.
Suddenly, several bullets and blasts from Ember Celica hit the huge grimm as a familiar voice yelled "GET AWAY FROM THEM!"
Ruby and Weiss watched as Gambol Shroud wrapped around the ursa major's neck and yanked the creatures head to the side, directly towards Yang's robotic fist as she rocketed towards the huge grimm. Yang's fist collided with the grimm's head and snapped its neck to the side as Blake pulled back on Gambol Shroud, decapitating the ursa major. Yang skidded to a stop, her red eyes turned violet as she looked at Ruby and Weiss.
"You guys ok?" she asked as she held her hand out.
"Yeah" Ruby said as she took her hand and was pulled to her feet.
Blake ran over and helped Weiss up.
Ruby spun Crescent Rose around and said "get ready! Weiss and I will slow down the elders and majors. Yang, you and Blake go left and clear the clothes stores and the bookstore. Then sweep right to the video game store."
"Right" Yang said as she ran towards a large group of grimm on the left side of the square with Blake on her heels.
"How are we going to stop all the elderwolves and Ursa Majors here alone?" Weiss asked.
Ruby spun Crescent Rose around and stuck the blade of the scythe into the ground and said "ice flower!"
Weiss rotated the dust cylinder to ice and created three glyphs in front of Crescent Rose's barrel.
"Call them out" Ruby said.
Weiss scanned the square for elder and larger grimm.
"Two o'clock" she said "elderwolf."
Ruby aimed and fired, the combined bullet and ice dust froze the elderwolf solid.
"Eleven thirty" Weiss said "ursa major. Hurry, its going after a group of civilians!"
Ruby quickly took aim and fired, freezing the ursa.
"That's the last of the elders I can see" Weiss said.
"Then let's go finish off the rest" Ruby said as she readied Crescent Rose "we'll go right and clear the café and toy store then sweep left."
Weiss readied her sword and slid across the square on a glyph as Ruby shot across in a red blur. Meanwhile, Yang and Blake were making short work of the grimm on the left of the square. Blake threw Gambol Shroud at a beowolf. The wolf managed to deflect it with its arm, losing two fingers in the process. Yang jumped up and grabbed Gambol Shroud out of the air. She ran towards the grimm as Blake tightened her grip. The beowolf swung at Yang as she approached, she dropped down and slid under the beowolf. She shoved Gambol Shroud into its stomach then landed a hard uppercut accented with a blast from Ember Celica. The beowolf flew into the air. Yang put her hands in position to give a boost and nodded at Blake. She jumped into Yang's hands and jumped again as Yang threw her up. Blake spun around in the air. She summoned a shadow clone to help her spin and gain momentum. She used Gambol Shroud to slam the grimm down into several other grimm that were gathered together. The impact sent several grim flying into the air. Blake began skillfully swinging Gambol Shroud, killing the grimm in the air. The grimm on the ground met a swift end by Yang's fists and Ember Celica.
"That trick never gets old" Yang said smiling.
On the other side of the square, Ruby and Weiss were quickly clearing out the remaining grimm. Weiss created several glyphs and was skillfully jumping from glyph to glyph, slicing and stabbing as she went. Ruby was using her semblance to avoid the grimm's attacks while striking with Crescent Rose. Several large ursas began approaching. Weiss took a knee and put the point of Myrtenaster on the ground and began to concentrate. One of the ursas lunged at her. Ruby was quick to cut its arm off with Crescent Rose, followed by its head. A large glyph appeared in front of Weiss and a large knight came out of it and began making quick work of the Grimm. Ruby stayed right by Weiss' side with Crescent Rose ready to defend her. Blake and Yang met Weiss' knight in the middle of the square.
Ruby gently patted Weiss' shoulder and said "it's all clear."
Weiss stood up as the knight disappeared.
"Great job team!" Ruby yelled as she raised one fist in the air "now, how about we go get a drink?"
"Ruby, you're nineteen" Yang said sternly "you can't drink."
"I can drink milk" Ruby said "and that café has great cookies."
"I could go for a cup of coffee" Weiss said.
"A cup of tea sounds great" Blake said.
"I hope they have Dr. Piper" Yang said as they walked to the café.
"Well, that was a thing" Yang said as she reached across the table and took one of Ruby's cookies.
Ruby pulled her plate closer and said "yeah, good work team. Hopefully the people of Vale will come to trust us with their safety soon. Maybe more people will come back."
Over the next few weeks, the team continued to clear out grimm and help civilians. Their families had mailed their clothes and a few personal belongings to them, except for Weiss. She already had clothes at the house, which now belonged to team RWBY. Willow Schnee had signed the house over to them. The deed was cosigned by Weiss and Ruby. Although, constant combat every day was taking its toll on the team. Glynda could see them slowly wearing down in their daily communication meetings. A few days later, the team was sitting in the living room trying to relax. Suddenly, all of their scrolls went off.
"More grimm?" Weiss asked with a groan "there cannot be that many grimm in the kingdom."
Ruby took out her scroll, looked at it and said "no, Glynda just wants to talk to us. Come on."
They all slowly stood up and made their way to the communication room. They walked in and sat down as Weiss turned the computers on.
"Hello ladies" Glynda said.
They all gave her their own greetings.
"I must apologize" Glynda said.
"For what?" Yang asked.
"Ruby informed me that you girls have been in one to three battles every day for the past three weeks" Glynda replied "fighting day and night with barely any sleep."
"It's kinda what we signed up for" Blake said.
"Technically yes" Glynda said "but I can see that you are all exhausted and you can't keep fighting nonstop. You'll wear yourselves and your auras down, leaving yourselves vulnerable in battle. You all do need rest, I understand that so I've called in a team that has agreed to stay in Vale and help for a week or two. I'm sorry I didn't think to do this sooner. Your mission for tomorrow is to take the day off. You've earned it."
"Are you sure?" Ruby asked.
"Yes" Glynda said "I'm sending team JNR to help you."
"Thanks Glynda" Ruby said.
The screen shut off, leaving them alone.
"A day off?" Blake asked.
"I can't remember the last time we had a day off" Weiss said.
"I guess we did earn it" Ruby said.
