Usually, I take a week to write these but suddenly I'm in a writing mood.
Chapter cover- Deandra flirting with the reader.
Ch.13- Panic at the Disco
Deandra, Yang, and Neptune arrive at the club Yang's friend works at. Yang and Neptune get off Bumblebee, a motorbike sharing Yang's color scheme, while Deandra appears next to them via a portal.
"Come on, my friend's right in here!" Yang says while pointing to a nightclub. When Yang gets off, she reveals Neptune who been through better days.
"You good Neptune?" Deandra asks to make sure Yang didn't kill Neptune by accident.
"Yeah." Neptune replies before shaking his head and fixing his hair and goggles, "And where exactly is...here?" he asks as he gets off Bumblebee.
As they approach the club, two men dressed in black suits, red ties, and glasses, start to freak out and run inside slamming the door shut behind them.
"Yang…" Deandra stares down at Yang's soul, "Explain your relationship with your "friend" now." She demands.
"I blew up their club some time ago... when things didn't go my way, hehehe." Yang laughs out but Deandra is not happy in the slightest.
"Yang…" Deandra's eyes are swelling with Succubus magic in fury, "Yang, gave me your gauntlets." Deandra demands.
"But-"
"Yang, you have anger issues and right now this friend of yours is our only lead. So give me your gauntlets and behave, or I'm shoving you into my portal until we're done here." Deandra states her two options for Yang like a mother scolding her daughter. Yang raises her fist for a second but then takes off her gauntlets and gave them to Deandra.
"You made the right choice." Deandra stores Yang's gauntlets away, "I'll be doing the talking, alright?"
"I'm fine with that." Neptune agrees, with silent approval from Yang.
Deandra knocks on the door to which a very tall and muscular man opens the door, "How may I help you?" He asks in a very deep voice. He's wearing a black vest over a white dress shirt, a red tie, black gloves, and black dress pants. He has gray eyes, short black hair, along with a matching beard and mustache.
"Yes, my friend said you're an information broker, and I need information," Deandra states her purpose at his nightclub.
"I don't know." The man is suspicious of them, especially Yang and the damage she caused the last time she was here.
"I promise my friends will not cause any trouble for you or else." Deandra glares at Yang from the side of her eyes.
"Alright. Just keep her on a leash, and we'll be fine. The names Junior." Junior allows them in.
After a couple of minutes, Deandra concludes that Junior knows nothing about Roman or The White Fang, "Thank you for your time."
"I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help." Junior apologizes for not being of help.
"It's fine." Deandra finishes her drink and exits with Yang and Neptune.
"That was weird." Junior comments on how normal this transaction was, no fighting, no threat from either party and the client left immediately after everything was done and finished.
"See what you can do if you don't let anger take over." Deandra gives Yang her gauntlets back and then gets a message from Ersa on her scroll.
"Fuckfuckfuck! Guys we need backup, Roman is chasing us across town in a mech. HHEEEEELLLLPPPP!" Sun cuts Ersa off.
Back with Issia and Ruby
Ruby managed to pull herself out of the dumpster before getting the same message from Blake.
"Big killer robot! And it's big! REALLY BIG!" Sun yells.
"Sounds like Roman managed to steal one of Ironwood's new Paladin units," I state.
"Oh, I am NOT missing this. Let's go Issia!" Ruby says and we then both go to help our friends.
…With Yang, Neptune, and Deandra…
"That Torchwick guy is in it! But not like-it didn't eat him. He's like, controlling it or something!" Sun yells.
"Where are you guys?" Yang asks before getting her answer in the form of Blake and Sun running with the Atlesian Paladin behind them as they pass by Yang's group.
"HURRY!" Sun screams as they run by.
"I think that was them," Neptune says.
"Yeah, I got it," Yang replies as she revs up her motorcycle.
"Deandra. I-" she begins.
"Go! I'll follow you from the rooftop!" Deandra says before jumping onto the rooftop of a nearby building and running along the rooftops.
Yang then spins her motorcycle around, with Neptune flailing around while sitting behind her and then guns it to catch up to Blake, Sun, and Ersa. A moment later, Blake, Sun and Ersa jump off a rooftop and onto moving cars driving on the highway.
Torchwick in the Paladin jumps onto the highway after them. Blake and Sun look back.
"Woah!" Sun gasps. Blake and Sun start hopping on and off cars on the highway while Ersa skates across the ground using some wind magic, trying to get away from Torchwick. Torchwick, on the other hand, just plows through the cars as he continues to chase them. As the chase continues, Yang and Neptune pull up behind Torchwick.
"We've got to slow it down!" Yang exclaims.
"Got it," Neptune replies and begins reaching for his weapon on his back. Torchwick picks up on this and starts smashing into cars on the road, making them fly around towards Yang and Neptune.
"Hold on!" Yang says.
"Uh oh!" Neptune says. Yang then moves her motorcycle right to evade two cars, then slides across the road to duck under another flying vehicle, before regaining her position to move left, then right to avoid a few more cars going all over the place.
After avoiding the onslaught of flying cars, Neptune grabs his weapon. His weapon is a weapon colored gray with bluish light above the grip, with the area between the weapon's grip and butt end being fused, and the barrel boxy, with light gray patterns on it. When he pulls it out and turns it into its gun form, the barrel shows a blue tube of electricity being generated. He then fires four shots at the machine, hitting it three times. Neptune then stands up on Yang's motorcycle and changes his weapon into its guandao form, where along handle extends from the butt end and the body gets a little smaller before forming a curved blade emitting light blue energy. He spins it a few times before he jumps up into the air, the weapon now turning into a trident, and then shoots over to the mech, stabbing his weapon into its back. Blake stops on one car while Sun lands on the trailer of a semi-truck and they look back at the scene.
"Neptune, hang on!" Sun yells as the mech starts spinning its upper body in order to try and shake Neptune off. Sun smashes his palms together, and a yellow ball of energy explodes from them. From that, two yellow glowing clones of Sun appear and then jump at the mech, exploding when they make contact. Sun then jumps up, with his weapon in its staff form, ready to strike. However, Roman's mech spins again and sends Neptune flying into Sun, and they fall off of the highway. While watching this unfold, Blake gets a call from Weiss.
"Blake, I'm in position!" Weiss says before jumping off of another highway above them and landing on their highway, cars passing by while she readies her rapier.
As Roman gets closer, Weiss spins her body a few times before stabbing her sword into the road, forming a circular floor of ice around her. Torchwick's mech slips on the ice just before he hits her, and it comes tumbling off of the highway, breaking a blue screen on the edge along the way, before landing on its feet on the ground in front of Ruby, her sniper scythe ready. The rest of her team land beside her, their weapons were drawn. However, Deandra and Ersa suddenly show up, slicing at Torchwick's right flank before they land next to Team RWBY. Then, Medi jumps up from behind Torchwick, striking at the mech's head and then lands with the group. Finally, Issia lands in front of Ruby, bow drawn and at the ready.
"We'll turn all you love into ruin, you vile monsters!" A voice declares before jumping in front of the mech. It's the hero girl from the docks and her party.
"We'll deal with them, RWBY, you deal with the mech," Deandra tells the girls to fight without them, Ruby nods in acceptance.
"Dimension V!" Deandra and Ersa teleport us and the hero party out of their current battlefield and somewhere farther away, so they neither group can help.
"Be careful everyone, and be on the lookout for the short girl, we have no idea what she's capable of." Medi states.
"Let me show you, then," The little girl says before tossing out a canister and shooting it midair, releasing a pinkish gas around us, instantly making us start coughing. Ersa swings her blade to the side blowing the gas away.
"A Trickslinger!?" A gunslinger that uses magic and items to fight, there only are a few of them in our world and their relativity new in our world.
"HAHAHA." The girl laughs at us and fully reveals herself, she's wearing a light green cowboy hat covering her face, a green poncho that hides most of her body and dark green flats with spurs. In her hands are two revolvers that seem to be the same models we use.
"Let me deal with her," I call my target, staring down the girl. The hero holds her back, taking out a sword and shield, decorated with marks to declare she was chosen by the Chief Goddess herself with another sword around her waist.
"Deandra, Ersa, Medi and Issia Holdback...I'm Rabia Windwalker, and under the oath of the Chief Goddess, me and my team are here to eliminate you and purify this world of plague you bring." Urg, Rabia is just another blind hero, blind by the churchs' words, we've dealt and corrupted a few of them before, so she shouldn't be any different.
Rabia dashes in front of Deandra prepared to cut her head off, she flips away over Rabia and kicks her in the back of the head, then summons her weapon.
"I'll fight her, Medi, Ersa, go after the other two," Deandra orders them to pick their targets, Rabia recovers from the kick and now looks like she's taking us as serious opponents. Rabia then holds her shield to the sky and begins chanting.
"Brave Force!" Rabia's body then glows in a lustrous white light signaling before bouncing to the others signaling that she linked herself to her allies. The trickslinger girl blindly fires her guns with seemly no target in mind.
Medi points her lance behind herself while holding her shield up and pulls the trigger, rocketing towards them. The priest girl steps in and summons a shield made of light, Medi collides with such force that she slides back.
The brawler girl from the docks dashes by the priest and Medi for Ersa dropping into a slide and going for her legs. I take notice that the gun girl is reloading and take the advantage by pulling back an arrow, the girl looks up to reveal a smile on her face, I question how that girl is calm even though she's about to be hit by an arrow until I hear it closing in on me.
While still holding my arrow, I hop back to see a bullet flying right where my head used to be, "She enchanted her guns with wind magic." She can control where her bullets can go, I have to beat now she's a danger to our health.
"ChronoBreak." I stop time and take aim at the girl, but see she's not affected at all, that also goes for the rest of her party. I quickly fire an arrow and deactivate ChronoBreak, because it's useless, the gun girl rolls out the way, letting my arrow fly off in the distance and finishes her reload. Taking a second, I coat my arrows with wind dust, for extra piercing power.
Ersa is trying to slash the brawler girl to pieces with her sword but is either her attacks deflected or dodged. Ersa slams her sword down, cracking the ground from the force of her attack, but the girl side-steps, however, Ersa then swings herself on her sword, surprising the girl with a punch to her jaw.
"You're not the only puncher here, Girly!" Ersa says mocking the girl.
After getting hit, the girl shakes her head before cracking her neck, "My name is Natasha, not Girly," Natasha corrects Ersa before getting back into her stance.
The priestess is drawing a magic glyph aimed at Medi, who raises her shield in preparation "Holy Pillar." Out from the glyph comes a massive pillar of holy light magic made to kill monsters like Medi, instead she manages to protect herself through the whole attack.
Medi analyzes the situation and thinks of the best way to the priestess, "That girl is powerful, and if I fight like I normally do, then she's going to overpower me." So she puts away her shield and carries only her lance now, now switching to her other style.
Meanwhile, in Deandra and Rabia's fight, they're fighting each other to a standstill, until Deandra jumps out the way of Rabia's attacks, she follows up with another attack sending a crescent arch of light at Deandra. Deandra slams her foot down forming the earth beneath her into a wall to protect herself, the wall is destroyed but stops the attack.
"Time to send this hero back to her goddess." Deandra switches to Axe mode and flings the remaining bits of the wall at Rabia, who blocks it with her shield, while also storing the energy from her sword into her shield making glow red. Deandra jumps in front of Rabia and slams her ax down, only to miss.
"You missed," Rabia tells Deandra.
"I was never aiming for you," Deandra retorts, "Ultra Burst!" Unleashing all the power stored in her shield underneath Rabia and sending her into the air, seeing her friend in distress the trickslinger redirects every bullet at Deandra.
"Nope." Ersa spins her sword as fast as she can, creating a vortex to redirect all the bullet for that instead, "And Counter!" Finally sending the bullets at the hero by smacking them with the flat sides of her sword.
"Mother Nature's Rampage!" Deandra calls one of our combo moves. Deandra presses her hands down on the ground sending two tendrils of the earth to wrap around Rabia, I follow up by firing arrows of different elements, finishing with a Wyvern Piercer, Medi then electrifies the tendrils while destroying them at the same time. Just before Rabia hits the ground, Medi freezes her with an ice shell, Deandra and Ersa end it with a simultaneous slash through Rabia and putting away their weapons.
The other girls break away from us and regroup with their leader, who's still standing but in critical condition and Brave Force dissipated, we can finish them here and now.
*Tap* Is what I wish I could say but a short girl with an ice-cream style hair scheme jumps in front in between us.
"Neo! Your timing is perfect." The trickslinger calls out the girl by name, wearing a whitetail jacket with a pink interior and one wide broad tail, brown pants, black gloves, and black and white boots with very high heels and multiple buttons on each side. Under her jacket is a brown corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips. She also wears a multitude of necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck.
"We're calling it here, let it be known we were holding back, next you won't be so lucky," Rabia tells before Neo bows.
"No your not." I fire an arrow at them but shattered they into glass.
"Issia!" Ruby and her team run over to us, empty-handed as well.
"Roman, got away as well?" Deandra asks, already knowing the answer. Ruby nods her head.
"But we at least destroyed the mech." Yang chimes in.
"At least we won't have to worry about that anymore," Deandra says, still disappointed that everyone got away.
"At least everyone is ok." I try to little up the mood a bit.
"Yeah, I guess she really made our plans... fall apart!" Weiss tries to tell a joke but instead gets angst from us because of her timing.
"What?"
Writer: That wraps up this chapter, but we're not heading into the next arch yet, instead I'm doing an original arch. So, watch out for that, until next time.
