Now, this original arc shall begin, I should mention that there will be a crossover with something I mentioned early in the story.
Chapter cover- Team RWBY, JNPR and DEMI falling from the sky.
Ch.15- A big fan
Today our three teams are out cleaning a few Grimm camps spotted close to the boundary of town, it appeared a few days ago so we're just dealing with fresh spawns before it gets out of hand, so nothing too dangerous for us.
"This beats Mr. Port's class any day of the week." Ersa comments off-handedly.
"Agreed." None of us are disagreeing with her. We're making steady progress and should be done any minute now.
"That's five, there should be only one more left." Deandra states, before touching the ground, "Huh?…" She feels vibrations through the ground coming right for us.
"Guys, the Grimm are headed right for us." She relays what she picked up.
"Great, they're making this easy for us, by not searching for them ourselves." We get in position after a minute, the Grimm are in sight.
"Is it me or is something up with these Beowolves?" Medi points out the weird behavior these Grimm are displaying, none of us are scared or displaying fear so they wouldn't be after us.
The Grimm ignore us and continue running, "Don't lose them!" We chase after the Grimm.
"I never heard of Grimm running past Hunters before," Pyrrha notes.
"That means they're after something important then." Medi retorts before the Grimm takes a sharp left into a cave.
"This must be it." Nora chimes in switching her weapon to gun mode.
"Wait Nora, be careful, something much dangerous could be lurking in there." Jaune stops Nora before she blows the whole cave up.
"Actually, that would be the best thing to do, lobbing a bunch of explosions in there should finish the job, or force anything still alive out." Medi points Nora's plan should work.
"Um guys," I point to the entrance of the cave, "Are those eyes staring at us?" Two green eyes are staring out from the cave.
"Blow it, Nora!" Before Nora can get a single grenade off, a giant purple hand lurches out looking to grab anything it can, I slide out the way but the hand is still able to grab my foot.
"Issia!" Ruby tries to save me but is dragged in as well, "Ruby!" Yang and Ersa try to save us but fail as well, a second-hand pops out and grabs everyone else in one huge sweeping motion before pulling back in.
After what feels like an eternity, but only five minutes, light finally appears. It blinds me for a second after regaining after being in the dark, I notice we're really high up.
"Mommy." I hear Jaune whimper out as gravity takes over. We all scream.
It takes us a minute to remember that I have wings, I move close to Ruby and grab her by the hood, "Ruby, hang on." I summon my wings to slow us down, I don't have much training when it comes to flying while holding someone.
"I can't...slow us...enough," I struggle to slow down our descent but remember what Ruby did during our initiation, "Ruby, use your weapon to slow us down." Ruby pulls out her weapon and fires shot after shot as the clouds part we're about to crash into a pole.
Ruby fires a shot to the side letting us avoid it, and fly right into a billboard, Ruby drops her weapon and we fall into an alley, luckily we land on something soft trash bags.
"We're alive!" Ruby exclaims, I raise a finger and point down.
"Ruby, look what we landed on." Ruby looks down to see a very angry Beowolf, and also without her weapon means she's as useful as a wet paper bag.
"I got you." Something wraps around me and Ruby bringing us to the top of a roof, "Alright, Ever Burn you're clear." We look down at the alley to see a girl about our age walking up to the Beowulf.
She looks a lot like Yang expect in the breast department, she's wearing a light purple scarf around her neck, a sleeveless, gold-trimmed, black waistcoat with a giant zipper, zipped all the way up, a black cloth around her waist that reaches her knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle also holding two ammo pouches and a yellow utility bags, white knee-length trousers with light blue ribbon ties and open-toed sandals. It looks like she's wearing Yang's gauntlets.
The girl cracks her neck as the Beowulf gets up to claw her, at the last second the girl fires her gauntlets to fling herself over the Grimm before firing another shot into the Grimm's skull as she's flying over.
The Grimm shrugs off the hit and continues its assault, the girl cocks her arms back, "Fire Dragon Born united!" Before quickly slamming them forward, firing two very powerful shots strong enough to blow a hole clean through the Beowulf.
"Alright, that...thing dead, get those girls out of here Lookout," The boy nods and goes to grab us with something wrapped around his neck but Ruby stops him.
"Wait, I dropped Crescent Rose during the crash," Ruby begins to freak out over her weapon, "Issia help me find it."
I spot Crescent Rose still lodged in the billboard we crashed into earlier, but it's too far up for either of us to reach without exposing myself, "That it?" The boy asks, Ruby says yes.
"Give me a sec'." The boy's scarf extends, almost like it's sentient, and grabs Crescent Rose handing it back to Ruby.
"Thank you, sir." Ruby thanks the boy for his help.
"No problem, if that's everything I still need to get you, girls, to safety." The boy looks very familiar, I know I've seen him before.
The boy is wearing a dark blue hoodie with zippers all over the place, a silvery scarf under which, hide some yellow goggles, black pants with straps and zippers, and black shoes.
The boys help us off the building, where a white-haired girl is seen wrestling against an Ursa and somehow winning. The girl uppercuts the Ursa in the jaw and into the air, where something cuts it half perfectly. The girl looks over at our direction, revealing her red eyes.
The girl is wearing metal gloves and gauntlets, a metal guard covering her mouth, a brown leather vest, brown pants with greaves going up the length of her legs, brown shoes, and bags attached to her hips.
"Issia, Issia-" Ruby starts tapping me on the shoulder, and that's when I finally put the pieces together.
My face is agape seeing the person I respected the most standing in front me, "You girls alright?" The girl asks seeing our reactions.
"You're Cortney Tan, we're big fans of your show!" I tell Cortney we're fans of her.
"Fans, show? What show are you talking about?" Cortney is confused about what we're talking about.
"Issia! Ruby!" Deandra and Yang run over to check on us and make sure we are not hurt.
"Quick question," Cortney taps Yang on the shoulder, "Your names wouldn't happen to be Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long?"
"Yeah...how do you know our names?" Yang confirms Cortney's assumption and she pulls out a letter imprinted with Beacon's symbol.
"This letter told me you guys would be arriving in a few days, for the competition between our schools. I thought you were informed as well?" Cortney assumes we got a heads up too.
Just then, we all get a message from Ozpin detailing what's going, it says we're going to be fighting against another school to see and learn from each other. The message also details what's going and what we're supposed to do next.
"I guess that's your guys' letters?" Cortney says jokingly.
"Augh, once we find the others it says to follow you guys to the arena." Deandra is a bit annoyed about the sudden announcement but reluctantly agrees.
"We'll help you find your friends, and after that, we'll lead you guys to the arena." Cortney and her friends want to help us.
"Thanks, but it shouldn't be a problem." A portal opens next to Deandra, dumping out our friends in rapid fashion.
"See?" Ersa and Medi are the last ones to come out before the portal closes.
"Check your scrolls, it explains what going on." Deandra says to everyone, "These guys will lead us."
Everyone freaks out in different ways when they see who Deandra talking about, some want their autographs, some are in glee, and some are denying this is real.
"Come on everyone is waiting for you guys." Cortney takes off down the street with her friends hot on her trail.
"This is just getting better and better," Ersa exclaims being the first to follow.
?- Things seem to be going to plan.
?- Better even.
?- Everything in place, now come our parts.
