The Floodgates Creak
Ash's POV
It can be a breath of fresh air when you're somewhere new. And I've been to plenty of places, met some people, and how it went for said people all depends on who you ask. And they'll say that it isn't good.
But here? In these ruins? At least there's a plan set up for dealing with goddamn Beacon, and boy do I have an interest in being at the front lines for this. As a bonus that little shitstain will be coming.
"Oi! Boss!" I hear the ogre Roja shout out, I sigh and look to him expectingly. He has his weapon on him right now, a big and crude claw weapon with twin machine guns mounted to the top of it. "Looks like dem merc twinz you 'ired got someone ratha' 'portant." He tells me in his broken accent, pulling a thumb back behind him.
"Oh? And who would that be exactly? Better not be wasting my time on this Roja." I tell him plain and simple, about as simple as he is.
"I'z not wastin' nothin' boss." He says shaking his head, "Dey caught dat silvur-eyed lass." He whispers pointing to one of his beady red eyes, my interest is peaked. And I smile to him.
"Lead me to her." I tell him, he gives a nod and gestures me to follow. Passing by mongrels and mutts alike he leads me to the girl, it is the one from CCT. She's bound with some mongrels guarding her, however she lifts her head up to look at me with dislike in her eyes.
"And here I thought I wouldn't have the pleasure of seeing you again, and without your weapon? Oh happy days!" I shout out clapping my hands, she says nothing however. Just glaring at me, "Where are my manners? Ruby Rose is it?" I ask before clearing my throat and extending a hand.
"Pleased to meet you, hope you've guessed my name." I tell her with a smirk, she doesn't say a thing in response. Time passes by and five seconds in, she finally speaks up.
"Why are you doing this?" She asks, her voice low and steady. "Why would you want to help the White Fang? Torture Axel? Why do it? Is there a reason why you're doing all of this?"
Well that's a good question isn't it? I just chuckle for a moment, then just let out howling laughter. Calming down with a breath I put a hand on her shoulder, "You're either you have copious amounts of naïvety, or absolute stupidity." I murmur, "So! What's puzzling you is the nature of my game, is that it? Well...I'd hate to spoil that for you." I tell her plainly, "But how did you find our location I wonder?"
A moment afterwards the girl is gone in a burst of rose petals, I quickly look over to see her running for the exit. I shrug and bring out Erebus Furor and whip it to the little silver-eyed girl, with it wrapping around her leg and causing her to trip and fall flat.
I tut and wave a finger to her, and jerk my weapon back to bring her that much closer back. "You disappoint me! I figured you'd play it smart. And for that my dear girl: I'll give you a dozen lashes."
There's a sound of an explosion, guess the party arrived sooner than I thought it would be arriving. I sigh and clutch the bridge of my nose, better send someone along with fodder to see it to confirm my suspicion. I point to the mongrel in the glasses for attention.
"You. Byproduct of beastiality, you and the rest of your flea-bitten vermin you call brothers-in-arms go see what that is." I order, they give nods and sneer at me as they leave. Like I give a shit what they think. "Roja. Go with them to make sure they don't cock it up." I bark to the red giant, he grunts and nods before following the mutts. Just as he leaves there's yet another explosion.
"Oh c'mon, this shouldn't be happening so soon!" I complain out loud, I begin to make my way out side. When I get clocked right in the jaw, I sputter around to see the little red bitch running to a group. Three huntsmen, seven trainees...and one being my dear Axel. As much as I am happy for this, I'm more consumed by anger for the moment.
I form Erebus into a rifle and point to the silver-eyed shit. "SOMEBODY TURN THAT BITCH INTO A BULLET SPONGE!" I cry out as an order. Me along with other mutts and Roja open fire on her, unfortunately as much as Roja is firing he's hitting nothing save the ground around her with the bitch dodging our shots.
I grit my teeth and grab one of the mongrels and hold him up, Erebus forming into a knife. "Attach the cart and let everybody hear the news. We're starting up the train." I growl out harshly
"But! W-We're not finished!" He stutters out, I growl and shove my shapeshifting weapon into his leg causing him to let out a sharp cry of pain.
"Do it! Or so help me I'll butcher you like a pig!" I tell him, in my calmest yet harshest voice.
Next stop. Vale.
Axel's POV
After blasting and bashing and the like through blockades of White Fang it seems like we're making more progress by the louder sounds of commotion up ahead. There's another block in front of us, about a dozen or so White Fang firing at us. Dodging shots I take a look to Yang she and I share a look, one that I'd say gives about some strategy for dealing with this.
"Uriah! Silas! Fire away!" I bark out
"On it!" Uriah shouts back, the two of them fire out on the fanatical Faunus. I hold Cerberus out flat at an angle with both hands holding up to it, Yang jumps on and uses her Ember Celica to blast off of my sword. She flys straight into the crowd of White Fang and causes an explosion which breaks through the barrier and sends some of the White Fang sailing last us.
Through the smoke there's someone running our way, as the smoke clears I can make out a familiar figure. However, I figure who it is based on how Yang has her arms spread out wide.
"Ruby!" She calls out in joy as her little sister jumps into her arms, as we come to the two. Roy comes speeding forward, and ends up sending Ruby into another hug. The two of them holding one another for a moment before they let go, seeing Roy's face he's smiling again.
"Are you okay?" Weiss asks her partner
"Did they do anything to you?" Roy adds on, looking over Ruby to see anything
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" She says reassuringly, "But listen! Ash's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there." She relays to all of us, and my heart sinks to the pit of my stomach. And I can only get one thing to say in response to that news among the million other things racing through my mind right now.
"What?!" I ask in shock as Blake hands Ruby's scythe to her, this isn't very good. "Ruby, are you sure about what you're saying?" I ask her absolutely serious, she gives a nod of confirmation
"Androids, mechs, they're all loaded up on the train cars!" She exclaims
"Ahhhh, that's ridiculous." Doc Oobleck dismisses, "These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead-end."
"Can we really be so sure about that there Doc?" Uriah asks with concern hinted in his voice, however Oobleck nods
"Even if they some how busted through the barrier: Huntsmen, Huntresses, law-enforcement, they would all be on them in a heartbeat!" Oobleck assures positively sure that it's true.
"OI GITZ!" A loud, booming, very strangely accented voice cracks over a loudspeaker, "GET INTA YER PLACEZ! WE'Z GONNA GO NOW!" He shouts out, the line ends with a cut. And the train begins to move in the distance toward the tunnels.
"Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere." Yang comments plainly
"Yeah, straight into a wall." Silas adds in with just as much enthusiasm
"We need backup. Let me call Jaune." Ruby says pulling out her Scroll, that's a good idea.
"I'll call for Ahri." I state getting my Scroll out, I look through into contacts and see something more than a little concerning.
LOW SIGNAL
"I can't get through!" Ruby says in frustration
"Me neither, crap!" I snarl as frustrated as the red Huntress is
"Well everyone, boys and girls. Man and woman." Professor Scale begins popping his knuckles, "There seems to be only one option." He says low and quiet, Ruby turns around to see what we all do. And there's one thought in mind.
"We're stopping that train!"
Third Person POV
As the Huntsmen and Huntresses, both veteran and trainee are making their way to the train. One lone Faunus, stands watch. His name is DeBlanc, and he's been doing this whole White Fang gooning job for as long as he can remember. He'll be retiring soon...one final job and he can just go home.
He hears a noise, and he looks outside the train to see rose petals. He needs to report this, he brings out a communicator.
"I think they're on the-" alas, he couldn't finish his sentence. He is hit in the head by Doctor Oobleck and then pulled off by Professor Peach. DeBlanc will now be trapped in this tunnel, or maybe not.
While the heroes are climbing up on to the train, a White Fang mook rushes into the train car where Ash is residing with another White Fang. "Boss! They made it onto the train!"
Ash frowns and sighs while he clutches the bridge of his nose, "Then grab some of the cargo and kill them. And get the ogre and twins ready for when some come aboard, maybe that one asshole you guys have with the chainsaw too." He orders the henchman, who nods and leaves. Mean while Ash makes his way back, he's readying to face a certain someone.
Meanwhile at the back Professor Scale pulls up the last of the trainees onto the top of the train. "Hurry children!" Oobleck says in a mild panic, "We must get to the front and stop this train!"
Weiss Schnee notices something however, "Erm...professor?"
"Doctor." He corrects
"What's that?" Weiss asks pointing down into the train hatch, Oobleck looks along with professors Scale and Peach. The good doctor himself kneeling down to look at it.
"That my dear...would be a bomb." Doctor Oobleck states factually and teams ASUR and RWBY cringe back away from the explosive.
"It just never ends." Scale laments shaking his head, Ruby Rose spots a few White Fang coming up.
"We've got baddies!" She announces pointing forward on the train, as she's pointing more climb up on the train.
"Well, I didn't expect them to go-" as Oobleck was beginning to finish his thought, the bomb charges up. And begins to beep away. "-easy on us..." Oobleck finishes with a grimace. "Time to go!" Oobleck says standing up and running along with the rest of the group, making a break for the other train car.
"They're doing quite a lot to try and kill us." Roy points out before jumping to the train car
"What makes you think that?" Silas snarkily replies following Roy up on his jump, while the rest are making it to the other side Oobleck stops Blake in her tracks.
"Blake! Detach the caboose! It will kill us all!" Oobleck lets out a quick order, Blake is quick to nod in response.
"On it." Once she says it she jumps down to the connectors, readying Gambol Shroud to cut the connection. However: when she's about to cut it the car loosens itself and detaches itself. "Huh?" Blake looks in confusion for a moment before looking back to Oobleck, some of the others going ahead along the carts. "It decoupled itself!" Blake relays back
"What?!" The caffine-addicted teacher asks in shock
"I guess he really doesn't want us on this train." Yang says incredulously earning a tired look from professor Scale.
"Pardon my er...coarse vocabulary for this but," He begins calmly and cooly, but a moment afterwards his eyes bug out and his lips form into a rictus of panic, "NO SHIT YOU THINK?!" He shouts out
"Calm down Gray!" Professor Peach tells her cohort along with smacking him twice, forehand and backhand. "It could be worse!" She tells him trying to get him to calm down.
Oobleck stares at his two colleagues before looking back to see the train car explode into an orange fireball. "That's not good..." He mutters to himself, while the rest were discussing how things could get worse. Ruby Rose has evidence to show that it does get worse.
"Err...neither is this!" She replies to Oobleck nervously as she stands near an open-hatch, inside of it.
"Another bomb?!" Blake yells out in shock
"Got one over here too!" Silas calls from one of the forward cars
"There's another one of these damned things here too!" Uriah calls a little louder and further away, in a tone both worried and annoyed. Hearing the news, Oobleck is piecing together the evidence.
"No. No. No." He mumbles while pacing back and forth before he gasps in realization, "THEY ALL HAVE BOMBS!" He declares, before one of them could say anything the second bomb begins counting down with the people regrouping to the third car as the second decouples and explodes.
"This doesn't make sense!" Yang thinks aloud
"I'm with you there Sunflower." Uriah hisses out, "This is WAY too much work for killing us." He complains while shaking his head.
"It's overkill is what it is!" Roy states, in the mean while more White Fang climb up.
"GET THE HUMANS!" One of them orders, professors Scale and Peach ready themselves. Scale then firing away knocking each one back bit by bit before Peach leaps in with Semblance formed armor and tossing them over the side like rag dolls. And to add insult to injury Scale even fires one last shot into them to hurt them in the pride department as well.
As the group makes it's way to the next train car, Oobleck looks back to see the previous train car detach and explode. This explosion opening a hole, a hole where various types of Grimm start to flood out.
"Oh no..." Oobleck murmurs worriedly, "He's leading Grimm into the city!" He reports. The other ten of the group feel a sinking feeling in their chests, hearts dropping down into their stomachs.
"What?" Weiss asks sharply in shock
"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!" Oobleck explains leading to some gasps of shock.
"This is absolute bullshit!" Axel huffs out bewilderedly at the news
"That's insane!" Blake states, it's a shared sentiment. It is insane, a very fine bit of work if you ask me. However, in the moment another car detaches and explodes leading to more Grimm pouring out and following the train.
"We need to hurry right up!" Peach says smacking a fist into the palm of her hand before turning her attention to Weiss, Blake, Yang, Axel and Uriah. "You all go bellow and prevent any more bombs from exploding!" She orders leading to a collective nod as the five head down.
"What about us?" Ruby asks
"We're going to stop this train." Oobleck says sounding determined as ever
"Yeah, I know. I said that earlier." Ruby replies dryly earning a nudge from professor Scale.
"Let him dream." He whispers
Axel's POV
As we've made our way down into the actual train itself, I look around to see where exactly we are. Some kind of cargo hold or something.
"I guess this is what we've trained for." Yang says smiling, Uriah however just groans and shakes his head. Yang just shrugs in response while Weiss pulls out something from her pouch. A pistol and revolver magazines, more than likely filled with Dust rounds.
"Here, take these. They should help." Weiss says holding them out to Uriah and Blake who take them, refilling their stock with Blake sliding the mag into her Gambol Shroud and Uriah loading his into his Tools of Trade.
"Thanks." Uriah simply says smiling, once the little exchange is over we make a rush toward the door to the next car. But someone familiar drops down, young lady in black brandishing a long sword. She shifts her gaze at me and gives a bright smile.
"Axel, nice to see you again." She says in a rather friendly tone, I frown and give a small nod.
"Tezca." I reply
"You two know one another?" Yang asks me
"I'll explain once we're done with the train." I whisper, Tezca tilts her head to Yang and just arches an eyebrow.
"He your boyfriend?" She asks
"Yeah."
"Mind if I have him? Or at the very least share?" Tezca asks in a tone of fake innocence, Yang gives her a smirk showing teeth with her eyes bright red. Oh boy.
"Not in a million years sister." She says with some venom lining her voice, "You guys can go on ahead. She's mine."
I give a nod and peck her on the cheek for good luck, the rest of us make a run past. With Tezca trying to block the way, however she nearly gets hit by one of Yang's blasts. And once we're at the other side we're greeted by two new bad guys, one being a White Fang jobber with a different mask, bigger and carrying a chainsaw.
The other being a gigantic bald headed guy, beady red eyes and almost tusk-like teeth, wearing bright red armor that looks like he just cobbled together scrap and put it on. And for a weapon, it looks like a huge claw with machine guns ontop.
"You guys go on ahead!" Weiss says readying herself
"We'll keep back her to deal with the big guys here!" Uriah adds in with a twirl of his revolvers.
"Got it!" Blake confirms for us, the White Fang guy lets out a menacing little chuckle holding his chainsaw. In the meanwhile the bigger guy grunts, so we charge forward with Blake blocking an attack from the logger and Roy blocking the big red guy's claw as make a run past. Looking back Weiss performs a backflip with Uriah sliding, however the two hit biggie and smalls with strikes which lead to them stumbling back and falling down respectively.
The two of them smile, I give a salute to them before Blake and I move onto the next cart. And for more added fun, it's Quetza holding a pair of chakrams in hand. He gives a nod to me and gives a wave.
"Evening Axel." He says in a neutral tone
"Quetz, you and your sister are bringing me back some bad memories." I sigh irritably, to my surprise he sadly frowns.
"Sorry about that man, but you know the deal." He replies with a shrug before averting eyes to Blake. When we sees her he just smiles, "Nice to meet you there cat."
Blake nudges me and gives me an irritated look, "He and the girl from the first car part of the same story?" She asks
"It's moment's like these where I question if you're reading my mind." I tell her dryly
"Hate to break it to you: I'm not."
"Are you lying to me? Because you don't look very convincing right now Blake."
She just gives a little smirk, "Who knows?"
"Excuse me lady and gentleman." Quetza cuts in flatly, "One of you gonna stay and fight me while the other runs ahead? Or will you both run? Or are you both gonna stay and fight?" He asks tilting his head to the side.
I look to Blake pleadingly she looks hesitant however, "I'll buy you a whole store's worth of tuna if you do this for me." I whisper, her expression brightens.
"Deal." She says pushing me forward, causing me to trip up a bit. But I make my way into the next car, and there's...nobody. Looking around I can't see anyone, I shrug and keep running.
But something hits me right in the back causing me to shriek in pain and skitter across the floor, looking back I see another familiar face. Ash, he's smiling grimly holding a whip-like thing in hand. Looks like black and violet lightning, smoke, and fire just mixed together into a weapon.
"Axel buddy!" He says jovially raising his arms up excitedly, "It's so great to see you again." As he's talking I stand back up, I pull out Cerberus transforming it into scythe form and ready myself into a battle stance.
"You destroyed one of my safe houses." Ash murmurs softly, "And I have a certain type of insurance for when someone destroys something of mine. For you? I'd saaaayy...a hundred lashes?"
Third Person POV
In the pervious train car the fight between the Blake and Quetza begins with Blake making a fire clone of herself with Quetza tossing one of his chakrams at it. When the circular blade hits it causes an explosion that Quetza is quick to backdash from, Blake charges through the smoke and enters a melee fight with the cat Faunus' strikes either hitting their mark or being parried by the white-haired mercenary. It comes to an end when Quetza uses his Semblance of telekinesis to toss her back.
Blake is sent back to where she was when the fight began, Quetza reaching into the compartment of the boxes that are his weapon. He pulls out two new chakrams which he flicks at the Huntress in training, but the blades only hit a stone clone of Blake cutting off the head and cutting the mid-section leading it to crumble almost immediately.
Growling in anger, Quetza leaps forward with twin chakrams in hand. Him and Blake trading blows, in the middle of it Quetza delivering a strike to the side of Blake's knee causing her to stumble to her side and get hit by a roundhouse to her temple. The white-haired opponent preparing to ram one of the ring blades into Blake, the cat Faunus dashes backwards leaving a clone in her place which Quetza hits and gets his arm stuck in.
Blake jumps into the air and strikes down on him with her weapon to shatter the ice and knock her enemy to the ground. Quetza tries to get back up but gets a foot stomping into his gut for his troubles, and a blade pointed at his throat. He looks to Blake's stern expression with out a hint of emotion.
"So, is this a new change for you? Things ending in violence instead of you running away like another term for cats, is that it?" He asks sardonically, he moves a free hand and knocks Blake off of him by telekinetically tossing a near by crate into her.
Of course as this fight as happening, there were others going on as well.
For Weiss and Uriah it starts out with well enough of a bang, the White Fang lieutenant and Roja charging forward weapons swinging with Uriah dodging the massive claw arm and Weiss blocking the chainsaw with a glyph used to form a shield. In the meanwhile Uriah forms portals to pop in and out to escape getting hit by Roja's claw. Grunting in frustration Roja switches to firing the machine gun attached to his weapon.
The shots, in either terrible accuracy or some other force repeatedly miss Uriah. But a few strays end up hitting Weiss' shield, she discards it for getting a few slashes in on the White Fang lieutenant who stumbles back before charging in again preparing to deliver an overhand swing. He's interrupted however by Uriah tripping him up by shooting into the back of his legs. However he gets grabbed by Roja who then slams him into the wall of the train car three times with loud metallic clangs before tossing him aside like a rag doll.
"C'mere!" The White Fang lieutenant growls darkly before knocking Myrtenaster out of Weiss' hand and grabbing her by the throat. He lets out a low and dark chuckle as he lifts the struggling heiress overhead, squeezing around her throat slowly. Just some pressure and her neck snaps like a twig.
"So long, Princess." The lieutenant growls dangerously
"Hey assface!" Someone says, the lieutenant looks back only to get a shot and a kick to the face causing him to let go of Weiss. A portal forming bellow him, sending him falling through another portal on the ceiling with knives slashing into him from bellow and an axekick to the back knocking him out of the fight.
"Only I get to call her that, got it?" Uriah says dryly with a small smile on his face, him and Weiss looking at one another for a moment before Roja rams his own fist into Uriah's face and his claw grabbing his midsection.
"Well, guess youz wasn't a good foight. Den again youz a cowardly little git." Roja laments, "Time we ended dis mongrel." He growls lowly with the mechanical claw ready to slice Uriah in half. But the universe has a sense of humor, in a blinding flash of white he becomes trapped in ice.
"Only I get to call him that." Weiss mocks the red ogre, she gives a wry smirk to Uriah before getting him released from the claw.
Back in the first train car, there lies the battle between Yang and Tezca. With Yang throwing punches which are responded with sword strikes and rifle shots in equal measure.
"You can do better than that blonde!" Tezca playfully encourages to Yang's ire who just growls and fires off blasts from her Ember Celica which hit Tezca but seem merely to inconvenience her slightly. In response to it Yang just dashes forward and lays into her, blow after blow after blow hitting home this time leading to a bright smile on her face.
After a minute or two of beating Tezca senseless, Yang starts panting loudly. In response Tezca just giggles and places a hand on Yang's chest, a loud whirring sound cuts into the air as Yang is blasted back right into the back of the train. Tezca stands back up and stretches, popping her back and neck while doing so.
"I didn't kill you did I there cow beefers?" Tezca asks curiously, but she gets a response seeing the blonde's hair start glowing nearly white as she steps back up and looks the ink-haired lady straight in the eye. Her eyes glowing like embers with a wild grin on her face. Tezca's eyes widen, pulse picking up in speed, and getting a similar grin herself.
"Seems we're more alike than I thought."
The two rush into one another flurries of punches and sword strikes hitting one another in rapid succession, however as the fight keeps going the more the two tire. Seeing her enemy's punches become slower and slower, Tezca takes the opportunity to blast Yang up into the ceiling of the train car. The blonde brawler falling back to the ground limply, unconscious. Tezca sighs and shakes her head as she walks over to her downed enemy and aims the point of her blade to Yang's heart.
"Sorry it's gotta end like this, but business is business." Tezca says tiredly, raising her sword high ready to deliver a killing blow. However, she stops. Feeling an air of dread before being knocked back.
Seeing who it is, Tezca's heart sinks. Standing right in front of her a swordswoman like herself, only much different in appearance: wearing crimson red armor and a mask very similar to a Nevermore's, the mask barely showing a pair of red eyes. And behind that a black mane of hair.
Tezca's heart sinks more when the swordswoman draws her blade, long and crimson colored. "You're...y-you're her aren't you?" Tezca stutters in fear, she knows who the person is by reputation. The swordswoman gives a silent nod, in response Tezca mouths the name: "Raven Branwen."
Tezca stumbles to her feet, hands held in surrender. She makes her way carefully past the new arrival, into the next car she sprints for her life. Seeing her leave Raven looks down at her unconscious daughter, 'Figures that she had inherited Tai's weakness.' She thinks to herself before splitting open a portal and leaving.
She gets one. And only one.
Axel's POV
I pole vault into Ash using my Scythe and deliver a kick to his chest, following it up by swing it down over head. It's blocked however by a quickly formed sword, I grunt and pull away before hitting him with a rapid flurry of strikes. Ash's weapon transform's from a sword into a spear as he jams it right into my knee, feels like there's nothing piercing through but it lights up my nerves in a fire of agony sending me to the floor.
"Whew lad!" Ash taunts joyfully, "Must've hurt like a son of a bitch am I right?"
"Eat my ass you albino prick." I spit at him sourly
Axel this isn't the time for spouting come backs!
Baldy's right kid, you need to not get captured again by this guy. Or get killed.
Ash snickers and lets out a hearty sigh, "You just don't get it do you? Then again, you've got a fire burning inside you...it'll be hard to put it out." He mutters
"Oh really? I hope the fire melts that smirk off of your face."
"My God are you an arrogant little pissant. You destroyed a safehouse of mine and ended up taking Roman and his mute with you with some worthless feel good bullshit about 'Oh Roman! You can become a pathetic fuck like me and my pals by changing sides!'" He continues mockingly, "Truth of the matter is, why are you fighting anyways? Why fight against inevitability?" He asks kneeling down, I look him straight into those soulless red eyes and spit right in his face. He shoots back up and wipes off his face, twisted in disgust and anger. Driving that thing straight through my back this time with the same amount of pain.
"I think you need a lesson in how the world works kiddo." Ash softly says, "You see Axel: the value of life is nothing. The only real people that matter in this world are me, myself and I. Compassion? Disgusting. Empathy? Useless. I understand all of them boyo, but they're as relevant as lower case d dust."
"What's the reason for being in this world then? Huh asshole?" I ask him hissing in pain, he smirks and shakes his head.
"In this world you look out for number one. In this world: it's fuck or be fucked, kill or be killed, eat or be eaten. The strong deserve to live like gods while the weak pray that they get to exist for another few seconds."
"You're absolutely, utterly nuts. You're insane."
"It's the truth like it or not." He shrugs, "For back there? I should've realized just physical torture wouldn't be enough for you." He purrs softly, "So here's what I'll make sure happens: I'll have you watch as I destroy your friends one by one. Everything you care about will be broken apart and tossed to the wind. And when you plea and beg for me to kill you, I'll deny you over and over and over again. I'll leave you so broken you won't even have the balls to kill yourself."
This prick's rambling is getting on my nerves, I grab him by his arm and start to pull that weapon out of my back. Jaw clenched tighter than a vice, and once I pull it out I let out a wordless cry. Cerberus changing into sword, but before I could do anything: there's a loud crash and everything goes black.
After what feels like an eternity, I open my eyes. Vision hazy and dizzy with hearing some alarms blaring, I cough and stand up going forward and falling down onto something. Sight clearing up I see debris, looking for signs of anyone I spot my teammates. Roy sees me first and nudges the others, I make my climb up to greet them personally. There I see team RWBY, looks like they're fine too. The four of us give thumbs up as a sign we're ok mostly, feel like hell but I'll more than likely live. Looking to elsewhere I squint my eyes at sunlight...wait, sunlight?
Once my eyes adjust I see people gathering around, oh shit. We're in Vale. There's a rumbling sound coming from behind Ruby up ontop of some of the rubble, and then growling. In a moment a King Taijitu appears, a moment after that Grimm start flooding out like a black tide. Alarms blaring louder now.
This'll be a massacre, and not for the people.
"And so, the madness begins." A soft, sinister voice murmurs. Followed by chuckling.
(The voice was me dear readers. What's more, I have been your 'Third Person POV' guide for this story. And I am ready to tell who I am, I have had so many titles and aliases it is honestly been hard to keep track. But I hope you will take my name to heart.
I am Nyarlathotep.)
