"Die!"
The dark man came flying toward Ross with his revolver katanas in each hand, intent to disembowel the young man!
"Whoa!" Ross used a column of earth to propel himself into the air, performing a backflip before landing safely on the ground!
"Alright!" Ross gave his Bullet-breaker a taunting spin, "Let's do this!"
Ross sprinted in, swinging his buster from his left to cleave the intruder! The mysterious attacker put his swords up to block, but Ross pulled his trigger, accelerating the speed of his slice and sending the man flying back on contact.
"Damn..." The man cursed, stabbing his right sword into the floor to stop his skidding and switching his left sword into revolver form to unleash a torrent of bullets! Ross saw this and lifted a column to catch the bullets and guard himself.
"Missed me, idiot!" Ross taunted, punching the column down, crumbling it, then swatting the rubble at the enemy with his massive sword!
The mysterious figure flipped back, switching his other sword to revolver form and firing at the oncoming projectiles.
"You're getting on my nerves, kid." The attacker growled, backing up to the sculpture behind him. He now stood next to the statue of a beowulf, and Ross could see damning resemblance.
"Who are you!?" Ross demanded, sprinting forward and swinging his buster down at the intruder, a column rising behind him to his the blunt of the sword, creating more force!
"Pfft!" The figure taunted, rolling to the side and firing a rapid succession of bullets at Ross, who barely had enough time to catch them with the broad of his buster! "As if I'd tell a filthy human like you. You probably wouldn't even remember me you're kind is so dense."
The mysterious attacker charged in, switching to sword mode, and proceeded to rapidly slash at Ross, who was kept retreating back and taking light slashes that his aura thankfully protected.
"Just die! Filthy, murderous, Human!" The man snarled, the ghostly overtone riddling his voice!
Bullet-breaker was suddenly struck out of Ross's hands and he was left defenseless! Ross could feel that his aura was heavily damaged, and he knew he couldn't fight any longer.
The attacker pointed his revolver at Ross chest and was ready to blow him away! But suddenly...
"Get away from him you freak!" Yelled a certain girl in purple!
A flurry of bullets, four Tanya clones, and a wolf faunas on a jet sword came flying in to rescue Ross!
The Tanya clones threw their Mirror wheels, sending the attacker flying back! Xavier landed just in front of the enemy.
"There's only one Big Bad Wolf around these parts, buddy!" He yelled, thrusting the pommel forward and using a short burst the send the intruder even further back! He then boosted to him while he was still airborne and delivered a powerful slash that grounded the attacker! "And let me tell ya," He taunted, "You do NOT want to mess with his pack!"
Violet charged in and fired her Spiral Songs rapidly, sending the dark figure running!
"Get back!" She ordered to her teammates, then triggered her semblance to pick him up, spin him quickly around her, then launch him straight toward Ross!
"I got it!" Ross swung his sword in a manner similar to a baseball bat, using the air jets along the back to speed up the slice and send the intruder flying back down the courtyard and land just before the bullheads!
The figure go to his feet, shaking his head and delivering a glare that rivaled that of a Grimm.
"Screw this..." He grumbled, "I'll kill you another day!"
With that threat, he lifted his head to the night sky and let out a howl strikingly similar to a Beowulf!
Over the edge behind him rose a small aircraft of sorts, painted black as the night sky with white plates decorating it in different areas.
The doors opened on the side of it to reveal more people that were dress the same as him. The intruder sprinted and leapt into the open door, then turned to face Team VRTX. He gave a mock salute before another figure, female by the looks of it, closed the door and the airship flew off.
Team VRTX stood there in the courtyard, exhausted, angry, concerned, and most of all: worried.
The team met again in their dorm room. Violet sat on her bed next to Ross, Tanya sat at a desk with an alarming amount of assignment in front of her, and Xavier leaned against the wall just by the doorway.
"Where the heck did you go, Ross? What were you doing?" Violet asked.
Ross sighed, "Making friends..."
Xavier chuckled, "Yeah, you and that guy really had something there." He snarked.
"Now's not the time Scruffy, I really need to know what happened." Violet said to the wolf boy, receiving a glare.
"Sure thing, wanna-be-goth." He remarked.
Violet rolled her eyes.
"I was gonna come here, to the dorm room, but I ran into that Ruby girl." Ross explained, making Violet and Xavier raise their eyebrows.
"Ruby? My old friend?" Violet asked.
"Cool, did you get her number?" Xavier asked, a snarky fanged grin across his face.
"Yes Violet. Shut up Fluffy." Ross replied.
"Hey!" Xavier questioned, "I'm just having a little fun!"
Tanya groaned, "At the expense of our friend Ross here." She pointed out.
"Hey, no joke's ever been funny without someone getting offended." the wolf pointed out.
"We're getting off track." Violet pointed out, "But how did that result in you fighting that freak?"
"Yes, how is it that you found yourself in that particular situation?" Tanya persisted.
Ross sighed.
"On my way back I saw something strange in the courtyard, I went to check it out and found that guy." He explained, "I asked who he was, what he was doing. He just attacked me, referring to me as 'human'."
Xavier nodded at that last part.
"He could be White Fang." Xavier proposed, "But that wouldn't make sense. Their uniforms are completely different."
"Additionally, they would now have a particular reason to attack Beacon Academy." Tanya pointed out. "Assuming of course that the intruder was attacking the Academy."
"She's right..." Xavier agreed, "Something about this doesn't smell right..."
Violet sighed, "In any case, we're glad we got there in time. Or else VRTX would just be VTX." She pointed out.
"Yeah, I haven't known you that long Ross, but I'd hate to lose you." Xavier added with a kind smirk.
"Yes. I would not be very happy if we had lost you." Tanya pointed out with a small blush. "I mean, without you many of our combat plans and maneuvers wouldn't work. Additionally, you provide a much needed sense of humor to our experience at this establishment."
"Neeeerd!" Xavier interjected.
"Canine..." Tanya retorted.
"Fore-eyes!" The wolf faunas shot.
"Scavenger!"
"Handle Bars!"
Tanya was taken back by that comment.
"What are you implying, dog?" Tanya asked, her eyebrow raised.
"Just saying that you come with handle bars." Xavier said, bunching up the back of his hair into two tails and tugging at them.
"I don't get it" admitted Ross.
"I do," Said Violet with disgust, "You're a pig."
"I eat pigs, Stormy." The wolf pointed out with a smirk.
Those two spent the rest of the night bickering while Ross tried to get some rest and Tanya tried to get some assignments done.
Morning eventually came, and each was asleep in their own way. Ross was knocked out on top of Violet's bed, Violet slept on the floor, Tanya passed out on her desk, and Xavier had fallen asleep sitting against the wall.
Violet was the first one up. She decided to wake up Xavier next with a kick to his side.
"Gah! Watch it Stormy!" He snarled, being shut up only seconds later by her hand, scratching behind his ear. "Wuuuuuhh..." He started panting and his left leg started to kick. This odd sight couldn't help but force a giggle out of Violet.
Ross woke up third, muttering strange things as he righted himself.
"That clown's not wearing pants... wuh..?" The other two gave the boy a questioning stare before turning their attention to their sleeping intellectual.
Xavier nodded in her direction, but Violet shook her head, "I'll take care of it Xave'." She assured, stopping her petting session. The two could've sworn they heard Xavier whimper sadly as she removed her hand from his head.
Violet now stood above Tanya. Cautiously, she moved to shake her shoulder.
"What!?" Tanya shot straight upward on contact, "The most vulnerable area on the Grimm known as King Taijitu is the white head! While most believe that they should attack the black half, it is far more vulnerable on the white half due to the cranium being stored in..." She stopped her rant and looked around at her teammates. "Uhh... What events occurred while I was dormant?" She asked, looking around, her glasses crooked and her hair in a mess.
Ross sighed, "You study too hard, Tanya."
"No; you three simply do not study enough." She replied, gathering her papers and putting them into a binder. "Which class are we attending today?" Tanya asked.
Violet went through her scroll to find her calendar. "Uhh..." She looked through it even further.
"What's taking you so long?" Xavier groaned.
"Hey, shut up Scruffy! I don't usually use my scroll for business-work stuff-things!"
Ross looked at the calendar on their wall, "We got Combat Training in fifteen minutes." He said simply, gaining the attention of his teammates.
Violet nodded "Thank you Ross, now we- Wait!? Did you say fifteen minutes!?" The four of them shot to their feet. "VRTX, let's go!" Violet ordered, shoving the boys out the door with Tanya trailing behind.
Awesome start, lame finish...
I'll get the next chapter out soon, I hope. I post on Thursday-Sunday.
SO, anyone here curious about the new enemy that VRTX is facing? They don't seem to be White Fang, and the guy they fought had Grimm stuff on. Revolver Katana's, huh, It's not a crazy design but is still kinda cool...
So, I'm crossing this Fanfic over with DSRT by LawlessAndFlawless. He's another RWBY writer, we're both working together on this story. You can read his too if you want.
R&R, remember to follow. I'll see you dudes later.
Next up: Momo is a boy's name?
