Chapter VI – A Tour and a Fight

After breakfast the next morning, my stepmom decided that I should give team RWBY a tour of the town. After some light persuasion, I agreed. Bob came along as well since he knew some areas I didn't.

"Alright. Here's our first stop, the library." I said, walking up to the building. After some time going through the books that picked up on the team's varying interests, we moved on, going from there to a pool (which none of us went in), to an arcade, and taking a break at a shopping mall. "So what do you guys think?" I asked, drinking from my smoothie. I already finished half of it by the time we everybody else got theirs.

"Pretty interesting. I wonder how this world even functions without Dust, though." Weiss said, still not quite understanding how we managed it. "Well, since that kind of thing never existed on our world in the first place, we got around using electricity and fossil fuels. And sometime after that, we started using solar energy because some of us eventually realized that we were harming the environment. Unfortunately, there are still greed heads raising gasoline prices on people still using it." Bob said, taking a long sip afterward.

"That and also nobody figured out how to apply solar energy to a vehicle yet. I'm still working on that myself, I have some ideas for application of the solar panels and batteries to cars and whatnot drawn out, but nothing that could fully function so far, unfortunately." I put in, finishing off my drink and throwing the cup away as I passed a trash can. "Wow. You have got to show me what you have down." Yang said. "That and I also have many weapon designs that I am yet to make." I continued.

"I'll show you them when we get back home." I said, not even needing to look as Ruby got excited over that. "So what was the first thing you designed, anyway?" Ruby asked. "You already saw it." I simply said, moving my cloak a little to let them see the part of the Bowmerang sticking out of the holster.

"Yeah. I based it on a flip mechanic for all but the Bow Form. It took quite some time to find gears small enough for the small launching mechanisms with the parts at the end of the limbs. Same goes for the small hooks." I said, putting my cloak back over the weapon.

Eventually, I got a call on my phone. I picked it up to find that it was Elenar. "What's going on?" I said, immediately taking note of the explosions and breaking glass in the background. "We need some help here! There are people attacking us! They already took your dad hostage and are trying to get me too!" my stepmom's panicked voice said. "Are you hiding well enough?" I asked.

"Yes. I'm hiding in my usual spot. Just get here quickly." My stepmother said, seeming to have quickly calmed down. Either that or she was just attempting to hide the fact that she was heavily terrified. "Alright. We're on our way." I said, hanging up and putting my phone away. "What was up?" Yang asked. "My mom called. Somebody or something is attacking the house and took my dad hostage." I answered. "What are we waiting here for, then? Let's get going!" Ruby said, disappearing from sight, leaving behind rose petals that floated slowly to the ground. "Where did she go?" I asked.

"Let's just get moving. Your parents probably aren't going to hold out for long if we keep them waiting." Blake said. "Alright." I said back. And with that, we ran to get to my house as fast as we could.

"That is not good." I said, sliding to a stop as I nearly collided with Ruby. "No kidding. There's Bullheads and White Fang in the area." Weiss said. "What are those and how did they get here?" I asked. "We answer those and any other questions after we clear up this issue. Deal?" Yang said. "Deal." I said, drawing my Bowmerang and throwing in its Boomerang Form at the nearest target.

It struck home and quickly made its way back to me. I looked behind me to see that everybody else had gone to take out their own targets. As soon as I caught the boomerang, I changed it to its Edge Form, drew my sword, and charged at the enemy charging at me.

When my opponent slashed at me with his sword, I sidestepped as I ran at him, forcing him to backpedal while he was still struggling to regain his balance from the missed attack. While he was open, I performed series of slashes and jabs, attacking from all sides as he struggled to keep up with my movements and attack speed.

"And stay down!" I said as I finished him off with a pommel whip to the head. I immediately charged through a wall of flames towards another group of enemies. I managed to dodge and/or block most of their attacks as I weaved (Get it? Weaved. Because he's a child of Athena.) my way around their weapons and bodies. Eventually, I managed to put them down. I saw Bob and ran over to him.

"So how are things holding up here?" I asked, stopping a blade from cutting Bob open. "Not so great. There's too many of them." Bob answered, kicking a guy's legs out from under him and doing an elbow drop on him. I nodded in agreement as I scattered the masked enemies with a fire wave. Bob and I eventually went back to back as we were surrounded by more of them.

I flipped my sword into a reverse grip and swung at the enemies in front of me, causing them to jump back to avoid my attack. I followed this up with a forward charge and jumped into the air as I ran. While in midair, I did a double kick, kicking out with one leg first, and then the other. Both connected with enemy faces, making them drop their weapons and stumble back while putting their hands over faces to try to stop the blood from escaping from the noses.

As soon as I landed, I kicked their legs out from under them and followed that up with a pommel whip to one and an elbow to the other's face, leaving a crack on both masks.

After some time, they eventually realized they couldn't win as their numbers started to dwindle down to next to nothing. So they hopped into what Weiss had called the Bullheads and left the area.

"Well then. That was one heck of a fight." I said as my dad bandaged the cut on my left arm. "No kidding, where did those guys even come from?" Bob said from his seat on the couch that had somehow survived all the fighting and fire. "And that's where we come in." Yang said. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"For the answered you seek, we have them." The blonde said. "Okay. Explain away." I said, checking the bandages to make sure they stay on. "Are you sure? They may freak you out quite a bit." Weiss said. "Oh please. I'm a Greek demigod, literally nothing is fully normal in my life. I even ran into a few satyrs and centaurs." I said, finding that the bandage was done right.

"What are those?" Blake asked. They're half human and half animal. The first has goat horns and the lower body of a goat. The second is really tall and has the body of a horse with the upper body of a human attached. Unfortunately if most other people found out about that kind of stuff, they would more than likely freak out and call the police or military.
