Grimmbiote
Chapter 4
"Elsewhere in the Emerald forest" "Hey Rubes, I think we found it," Yang exclaimed.
"Finally, my legs are killing me," Ruby cried. She was joking of course, but she was bored, nonetheless. After landing she found her sister Yang and they continued to the temple. The entire walk was uneventful as they didn't run into any Grimm. Which was pretty odd Ruby thought. They should have run into at least one pack of Beowolves. "Come on sis, let's grab a relic and go."
"OH, how a bout a horsey?" Yang asked.
Rubes chuckled a response, "Yea sure sis." They both grab what looks like a white knight chess piece. "Hey, looks like some others already got here. There's missing pieces," Ruby notices.
"Ha-ha, I'm surprised anyone is faster than you sis" Yang joked. Ruby just looked at Yang. Before they could leave however, a very high-pitched scream throughout the woods. Yang cried out, "It sounds like a girl is in trouble.
Before they could do anything however, Ruby noticed someone falling out of the sky. "Ummm Yang?" was all she got out before what looked like Jaune seemingly sniped the blue tailed Faunus out of the sky.
"5 minutes prior" "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING! This could get us killed you idiot!" Weiss screamed.
"It's better then what we were doing princess. At least we can get an aerial view from here," Azure replied. "Besides, we'll be fine. I used to do this all the time back in Mantle."
"YOU WHAT!? You must be certifiably insane," Weiss freaked. "I can't believe I got stuck with a suicidal Faunus as a teammate." When she looked back up at Azure, he was missing. "YOU MOTHER" was all Azure heard as he fell. He laughed to himself how funny her reaction was to the plan. "Of course, she would react that way," he thought. She was a Schnee, and as far as he knew, all they care about it what benefits themselves. Although he couldn't figure out why she would bother becoming a huntress.
Before he could think of anything else however, he got sidelined out of nowhere and slammed into a tree. "What the hell was that?" he asked while dazed. He quickly recovered and seen vomit boy hanging from a nearby branch. "Hi?" He asked
"Hi," vomit boy replied. Azure just waved and ran to the shrine. When he got there, he saw a girl in pick singing something about being the queen of the castle or something, little red, the blond girl, and some guy in green with a purple highlight in his hair. He turned around to see the Pyrrha girl running out of the woods with a freaking Deathstalker on her tail and vomit boy on the ground underneath Weiss. The Deathstalker quickly knocked Pyrrha over to the forming group. Yang cried out "Look now the gangs all here. Now we can all die together."
"Not if I can help it," Red replied as she launched herself at the scorpion.
Blondie cried out, "Ruby wait!" but she was already gone. When Ruby got to the creature, it promptly sent her backwards. She got up and ran away, but the Nevermore he and Weiss piggy backed on launched its feathers like projectiles, snagging Ruby's cloak. Azure mustered his semblance to assist Ruby, but things didn't work quite as expected. Weiss had apparently launched herself into the way and created an ice wall, entrapping the Deathstalker's tail. "Huh, never had my semblance work like that before," he thought. He saw what appeared to be a small conversation between the two but decided not to listen in and grab his and Weiss' relics. He saw the two remaining white knight pieces and grabbed those. His favorite piece in chess was the knight so he figured it only made sense. After everyone regrouped at the relic, they discussed that the best plan was to just grab the relics and go. Which wasn't a bad idea considering what they were up against. With everybody to busy discussing what to do, nobody noticed the white slime crawling into Azure's combat boot, not even Azure.
As everybody ran to the cliff side to leave, they saw the Nevermore fly ahead of them and cut them off. "This will be fun," Azure cried out. Almost as if to respond, the Deathstalker came crashing out of the tree line. "Uh, we gotta go guys."
"Nora distract it," cried the green one. As most everyone ran forward, Azure stayed back to help fend off the deathstalker while the pick girl launched grenades to make the never more fly away. As it departed, he and the green guy intercepted the scorpion, and got Nora caught back up to the group. As they were crossing the bridge however, the nevermore came back, and took out a chunk of the bridge separating him, Pyrrha, and the ninja from the other 5. They were unfortunately stuck with the scorpion too. After taking a hit or two from the Grimm, Azure heard a blast behind him and both Nora and VB fly over his head. Nora slams the creature with her hammer, but it immediately responds with a strike of its own. Nora blocks but the force launches her backwards, slamming into Azure, knocking him off the bridge to the void below. In a quick decision, Azure switched to his only grav dust clips and threw one of his swords at a pillar, and once it stuck, activated the grav dust to pull himself to it. Upon reaching the pillar, he grabbed his sword and sheathed his weapon, and ran up the pillar using both his arms and legs in a wolf-like run. He then saw the Nevermore flying by and lunged at it.
Upon landing on its back, Azure pulled his pistols out and shot it in the back as he ran down its length. At the tail he jumped off, landing on the tower with Ruby, Blondie, and Weiss. "This thing can take some damage," Azure laughed.
"Then let's hit it with everything we got," Blondie said. All four of them immediately started using their range attacks on it. Sadly, it didn't seem to phase the creature as it flew into the support beams below. With the beams gone, our platform fell apart and we had to jump up different platforms. Azure found his way to a pillar, and again used his wolf dash to make it to the top.
At the top, he looked around and seen everyone had recovered and was again trying to shoot the giant bird down. "Yea so just shooting it isn't working," Azure complained. Ruby then appeared next to him and asked, "I have a plan, but I need to know your semblance."
"It's really complicated to explain ruby, but the basis of it is that I can control luck, to some degree," Azure replied.
"Do you think you can use it to increase my chances of hooking the bird with my scythe." Ruby questioned.
"Probably," Azure said which prompted an immediate leave of Ruby. "Ok then," was all he said then went back to shooting the Nevermore.
After a couple of short minutes, Azure, Ruby, And Weiss got into position for the plan. Blondie jumped into the bird's mouth, firing rounds into its mouth. It almost immediately crashes into the cliff, yang dropping out just beforehand, and it gets up and roars. Before it can take off Weiss uses her Glyphs to quickly reach it and freeze it to the ground. As she does that, Blondie runs back and holds Ruby in the air by her scythe, ready to throw her. Azure starts channeling his semblance into Ruby, increase her chances of pulling off the plan. Weiss then returns, putting an amplification glyph on Blondies arm to make the throw even stronger. "You guys ready," Ruby asked.
In unison, us other 3 all reply "Yes!" Blondie then throws Ruby at the creature with her full power. Ruby soars through the air, and perfectly hooks the Nevermore's neck. Weiss gives Ruby glyphs to run up the cliff, which Ruby does. It takes no time at all for her to reach the top and cleave off the creature's head. We see Ruby approach the cliff, and Blondie just states out of nowhere "Well that was a thing."
After a little bit, everyone makes it to the top of the cliff, including the other team, and they all sit down to relax really quick. They exchange names and scroll numbers and have a laugh about how the day turned out. But when they go to head back to Beacon, Azure feels an extreme amount of pain in his body causing him to scream, then black out.
