Are We Truly Overwhelemed?
"How are we gonna beat that!?" Yang screamed as she saw the beast in the distance, it looked like what they fought before. A fire cat, she dubbed it but... Bigger and more intimidating. It was a greater counterpart to what they've already faced.
"Yea there's like three of them..." Blake said as she gripped her weapons. They were already advised to not engage but they couldn't just let the Behemoths destroy the school. The students carefully monitored the beasts as the Behemoths fought Grimm.
Then one looked directly at them and snarled, Yang took a fighting stance and so did the rest of the student body, there were about 23 different students there not including Yang Blake and Weiss.
"Let's get em!" Yang shouted as she jumped into the fray. The beast howled with a mighty fervor as Yang hit its horn, breaking it off in the process.
It howled as it shook its head and charged toward the one responsible, but was taken aback when he froze in place. It looked back to Weiss holding her rapier and grounding it using ice dust.
"Use Ice Dust! They get more hurt by that" Blake said as she shot the monsters with said dust. Every student nodded, Nora and Ren along with team CFVY were taking down one of the Behemoths. The rest were slowly picking at the other Greater Embermane as they dodged and rolled and weaved around to not get hit.
Weiss was now running around the behemoth, stabbing around areas that had looked like vital points. To her surprise the Embermane howled in pain and clawed at her.
"Weiss!" Yang shouted as Weiss jumped out of the way and buffed Yang's flaming right hook with gravity dust, making it fly faster. The Embermane was sent flying, and Blake was fast to react to that with blows to its stomach.
The Embermane stood up and howled as a red aura emerged from its body, it was enraged. Weiss commanded "Run!" as the Embermane ran toward them and slashed its claws, hitting Blake and sending her into a nearby tree.
This did mean that the beast was nearing its death. Yang jumped toward it with heavy blows to the side of the head one after the other. The beast was dazed and was thrown to the ground and was once again open to attacks.
Blake was already up and rushing toward the beast, using her katana to slash at the beast's throat. It had a tough hide but with enough swings and help of a thrust from Weiss' Myrtenaster, they were able to kill the beast.
It wasn't over yet though as they rushed to help the other teams.
Team CFVY had never fought one of these monsters before but they were doing a good job of keeping it at bay as Ren and Nora carefully fight it. The sound from Coco's minigun was very loud, but it was noticeably effective at dishing out damage by the second.
Yatsuhashi rushed the beast under Coco's covering fire and gave an upward slash, the beast pushed him forward with a charge and sent him to the ground. He was helped up by Fox who charged forward with multiple slashes to the beast's face.
This sent it recoiling as it whined, yet it clawed in front of it and caught Fox who was still in the air. Sending him into Velvet, Nora saw the chance to hit its head really hard.
The beast was sent stumbling in confusion as it was again peppered with Ice Dust bullets. It was slowly dying, it already finished its Rage Mode which was a relief.
Nora saw the beast topple, as it did she sent the last blow to the Behemoth's skull, crushing it. She wiped her brow and they looked to the last one as the rest of the students already brought it down.
"Great!" Yang shouted happily "This sector should be..." she frowned then as she heard electricity and the moving of earth.
"What are those now!?" Coco said in an annoyed manner as 4 different Behemoths stood in their way. They were hurt, low on aura and low on ammo, Weiss looked upon the fear upon her schoolmates' eyes.
She then took in the situation, We can't..."Retrea-" she started until a shadow came up from above and slashed one's head in half.
"Phew, good thing it wasnt a Greater Stormclaw. Anyway" he stopped and threw up three fireworks. He looked to the students "Nice goin, taking down these greater Embers. Y'all should step back a little though, we can handle these"
Weiss and the rest of RWBY knew who this was. His orange armor and his longsword made it obvious; it was Percy. The Slayer they met along with Jaune's master, Thorin.
The students looked atop them as Ten more people dropped down from the airships and each throwing up a firework.
"The cavalry has arrived" Percy said as he smiled.
Thorin was a little troubled by the amount of Behemoths in Vale. There were about twenty important Behemoths which he spotted.
He was riding on his airship, assessing each Behemoth and chose one to fight. "Slayers, converge toward Beacon Academy after defeating your targets. " He said on the radio as he got a chorus of affirmatives.
Thorin himself was headed to Beacon, 'to think that beast is still on its feet...' Thorin thought as he gripped his sword. "I won't let you go this time" he said as he was driven toward the big Grimm Dragon.
He then thought about his disciple, his protege, Jaune. He knew the boy was alright but, if Beacon had fallen... "The maiden might've been taken as well" he whispered to himself .
Be safe he thought as he faced what was ahead of him.
The Slayers were quick to be dispatched and found their targets quickly. The fight was at its climax, every Slayer and Huntsman were helping eradicate both Grimm and Behemoth.
Qrow was one of these huntsmen to help with the subjugation of beasts. He was with Glynda Goodwitch and they were in downtown Vale. There were Behemoths in town as well, and one of the Slayers dispatched there was Annabeth.
"Are you huntsmen alright?" she asked not looking back as she dodged a strike from the Behemoth in front of her. "I guess we should thank you for the help" Said Goodwitch as she threw a car at the beast.
"Yeah, really nice to have Slayers here" Qrow said as he leapt forward and cut off a foot of the Behemoth which howled in pain.
Annabeth smiled as she stabbed the beast's heart "Just doing our jobs"
'Oh... God...'
He said as he stood in front of the tower
...
Jaune Arc, to say the least was absolutely terrified. He had a plan but the situation he was in. Okay! Its simple! I'll go up there and fight her with all my strength...
He tried to look hopeful but his features sharpened "Who am I kidding? I might fucking die here... But if it saves them"
He thought back on his team and the fun they had a few days prior. The calm, playing in arcade tournaments with Ren, eating with Nora and chilling with Pyrrha.
He remembered the dance, his master. He thought of RWBY and his other friends. I'll be sure to keep them safe.
"Better me than them" he said as he charged his aura and aether to leap to halfway to the top of the building. He climbed the rest of the way to be greeted by Cinder Fall.
"Cinder Fall" Jaune said as he pulled out Crocea Mors and his shield. He knew he needed to defend first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get close.
"Jaune Arc, I expected you to be here" she said smiling. "You are far...Far too late" she laughed as she threw Jaune Ozpin's cane.
Shit... he said as he stepped back and he looked at the cane and looked at her. "You..." Jaune started and Cinder smiled "Yes, I killed Ozpin"
Jaune then got into a ready position "I'll avenge him, I'm ready for anything you throw at me" Cinder laughed and in her hands formed glass daggers.
Jaune could practically feel the heat emanating from the woman in front of him. He only caught a glimpse of her true power back in the basement. But this was her not holding back. Jaune then was shocked as the massive dragon flying in the sky landed behind Cinder.
It roared at him as Cinder went over to seemingly pet it as it calmed down. "He is mine, darling" she said as she looked back to him
"Then so be it, Jaune Arc..." she walked forward swaying her hips in an almost seductive fashion. "I shall grant you death"
Jaune only had enough time to see Cinder speed up and hit him from his left. The blow itself was quite heavy, Jaune flinched slightly at the strike.
"Impressive, let us watch you dance!" she said as she sent a flurry of slashes and stabs at Jaune who blocked, dodged and deflected each strike perfectly.
Jaune saw an opening in Cinder's guard and was about to strike at it only to be cut in the arm and kicked on the side. "Quite admirable for an Arc. I believe you can keep going, no?" Cinder mocked him.
Jaune knew she was mocking him, he got up and his sword and shield disappeared and were replaced by his repeaters. "Sure..." Jaune then started to fight Cinder close range with his repeaters.
Cinder dashed in trying to stab her dagger toward Jaune, Jaune sidestepped and shot Cinder on the side. To her and Jaune's surprise, some of the aether infused pellets overwrote her Maiden's Aura and sent a cut on her shoulder.
Cinder's eyes blazed in anger "You dare make me draw blood?" she asked looking at the Arc, who was already twirling his chain scythes.
"I dare, I know I can win now" Jaune said smiling. As he is then quickly cut by Cinder on the arm as well giving him a gash which quickly healed due to aura.
"You aren't the only one who can bypass normal Aura" Cinder said. As she pressured Jaune with melee attacks, she gave Jaune a nasty wound on the shoulder, she kicked Jaune and he hit a wall.
"I can still... fight" Jaune started as he grasped the wound on his arm, healing it with aura... 'I can't lose'
Ruby and Pyrrha saw the clashing of light blue and fire on top of the Beacon tower. They knew Jaune and Cinder were fighting, they had to hurry.
"We need to go faster" Ruby said.
Pyrrha silently agreed and ran with even more fervor.
Will they win? Who knows, but Pyrrha knows Jaune is in danger, she worries; Is this all we can do? We are already overwhelmed by the enemy... she thinks as she shakes her head.
"We will save him and Vale" She said to herself, Ruby heard this and smiled "Yes we will"
