Hey guys im back just got a new laptop. I don't own RWBY just my team and their weapons.
Chapter 8: Rearming and Upgrading
A few days had passed since the Roman fight at the docks. Nero had reforged his sword with a couple of enhancements. Wind dust lining the edge for quicker swings with earth dust infused with the entire blade to increase the durability and striking power. He renamed it Quickfang.
He had just finished his paper on similarities of a wolf and it's grim counterpart. He was currently on his way to the cafeteria as he sent his team ahead so the could eat while he finished, but now he was thinking of ways to keep himself safe in battle while saving aura, when he almost ran into a big man with a white jacket and green hair.
"Oh sorry wasn't paying attention." Nero told him. The big man just waved it off.
"It's fine we were just wandering around looking for our team leader and his partner." he said pointing to the red haired guy next to him. "His name is Scarlet, I am Sage we are looking for Sun Wukong."
"Oh you must be part of Sun's team yeah I know him I met him a couple days ago he is probably taking his partner to meet my friends come on i'm on my way to meet them follow me." The snake teen told them motioning for them to follow. "I'm Nero by the way welcome to Beacon."
As they were walking towards the cafeteria Professor Ozpin and Goodwitch were going in the same direction. Professor Goodwitch looked like she was about to pop a blood vessel, while Ozpin followed her calmly sipping his coffee. We reached the door at the same time.
"Ahh, Mr. Krell how are you doing?" Ozpin asked before looking behind Nero. "I see you got acquainted with Mr. David and Mr. Ayana."
"Yeah I bumped into them on the way here to get lunch." the snake teen said catching Ozpin smirk behind his cup. "What happened?"
He nodded to the door as Goodwitch burst them open and we walked in standing next to the rest of his team, Sun and a blue haired guy with orange goggles.
"Do I even want to know what happened?" Nero asked facepalming as JNPR fell off the wall with a rainbow rose pattern. He noticed Ruby, Blake and Weiss. He wondered where Yang went when he noticed a human sized hole in the ceiling. "You know what nevermind I don't want to know." he stated as he left with his team in tow.
Later that day Chelsea and Atorious went to see Dr. Oobleck to see if they can get some extra credit. Nero was at his desk in the dorm room designing armor for himself as he feels he is relying on his semblance to much to defend himself and he doesn't want to break his sword again. Terra sitting next to him doing the assignment from Port the same one he finished earlier so she asked if he could help her while he designed, he agreed. So far he had a chest piece made of steel with white dust lining every edge of the armor. He also had black steel gauntlets lined with electric dust and black steel greaves lined with fire dust.
He finished making the designs for the armor when Yang burst through the door saying she wanted to talk to us in her team's dorm. Folding up the designs stuffing them in his pocket before leaving leaving with Terra and Yang. When they arrived the rest of team RWBY, Sun and the blue haired guy from earlier I think his name is Neptune were sitting around the dorm. Yang closed the door behind us and locked it.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Nero asked as they all looked sheepish. "Why do I have a feeling it's dangerous?" Sun step forward.
"We are planning on getting clues about the White Fangs involvement with Torchwick?" The monkey teen said looking at Nero and Terra. "We decided to get you because you, Yang and Ruby know your way around the city as the rest of us don't. We asked for Terra because of her strength and skill if anything went wrong." he explained.
Turning to Terra to see what she thought about this. She was deep in thought for a couple minutes before turning to Nero nodding her head in confirmation before turning to the rest of them.
"We're in." She said as the others sighed in they explained the plan to them. Nero would be going with Blake and Sun while Terra went with Weiss and Ruby. Nero went and changed into a white t-shirt and black jeans with black boots. Strapping his sword across his back and his Ulaks on each thigh. He met up with Blake and Sun on the airship to Vale.
When they docked Nero had them stop by his car to grab his revolvers and ammo since Blake told him they need to be ready and that his car will draw suspicion. Holstering his guns crossed over his tail bone. They stopped by the Necromonger Emporium so Nero could request the armor to be made. Vaako said it would take 14 hours to make it. He said it could be delivered in the morning so he paid for it upfront so we wouldn't forget to.
The sun had set when they got to the warehouse they were greeted at the door except for Nero until he showed his fangs. They were lead into a giant room full of Faunas. When everyone was situated a fang member came out telling us that he thanks us for showing up tonight and that he would like to introduce us to an ally of theirs.
The crowd went silent when Roman Torchwick stepped out before then roars of hate and anger exploded from the crowd. He started talking to the crowd calming them down saying that he agrees that humans are terrible with himself as an example. Then he started going on about how he plans on helping the fang exterminate the humans of Vale and how he has the equipment to do so. The banner was pulled down behind him revealing a giant mech suit. He stated that his employer helped him snag a few some of these Atlas Paladins when they were made. The crowd cheered, then a fang member told anyone wearing a rookie mask to step up to the stage. The three of them hesitated and that didn't go unnoticed by Roman as he started to get angry pointing to us for the White Fang members to grab us.
"What do we do? Sun asked as Blake shot at the powerbox.
"We run!" Nero said as the three of them jumped through a window getting about 20 feet from the warehouse before the mech crashed through the wall behind them. Jumping to the roof trying to get away Blake called the others.
"Everyone we need back-." Blake yelled before being cut off by Sun yelling help.
"CHERTOVSKII POMOGITE NAM!" Nero yelled in russian as they ran. Sun gave them a quick explanation of what was happening before we jumped onto the highway jumping from car to car. We hear Torchwick in the mech behind us tossing cars behind him at Yang and Neptune before Neptune started firing at the mech. Neptune then turned his electric gun into some sort of glaive/ trident type weapon before stabbing at Roman.
"Neptune hang on." Sun yelled as he pounded his fists together making transparent yellow clones of himself sending them to help his partner before grabbing his staff jumping to attack the mech only to be hit with neptune as they both fly off the highway.
"Blake I'm in position." Weiss says over the scroll. As she jumps down and freezes the highway sending Roman off.
We all jump down seeing Ruby and Terra weapons out and ready to go. The mech starts towards us.
"FREEZERBURN!" Ruby yells as we all jump back so Weiss could freeze a circle in the ground as Yang slams a flaming fist into the ground causing a smoke screen. The mech couldn't find us. We each take swings at the mechs feet staggering it. Then Torchwick starts firing at us hitting Yang and Blake when Ruby slashed at the cabin of the mech.
"CHECKMATE!" Yells the reaper as Blake and Weiss hack at it's legs before Weiss stabs it's leg joint before she uses her glyphs to get her and Blake to safety. Roman shoots Weiss out of the air. As Ice Queen was sent back she cast a boost glyph on the cat faunas. Torchwick then fires at Blake with missles who in return sent out waves of aura cutting them apart.
"LADYBUG!" Ruby yells as she and Blake go for the legs of the mech again. Roman fires at Ruby only for her and Blake to jump in the air before cutting off one of the arms of the mech. Yang then jumps on the mech's back laying into it with punch after punch. Torchwick then sent the mech backwards slamming Yang through a couple support beams for the highway before punching her threw another.
"YANG" Blake yell to her partner. A hand was placed on her shoulder by Nero who was smiling.
"He messed up real bad." The snake teen said chuckling.
"Yang's semblance allows her to absorb damage and turn it into strength." Ruby explained as her sister stood up hair on fire and catch the mech's fist only to destroy it with her own.
"BUMBLEBEE!" She continued as Blake threw her weapon's ribbon to Yang who went in circles to punch the mech, but it dodged. "It's to fast."
"Terra you ready?" Nero yelled to his girlfriend who nodded in return.
"RICHTER SCALE!" he yelled as he ran behind the mech sheathing his sword and drawing his guns as Terra shot her flamethrower in her right tonfa at him while freezing the ground with her ice beam in her other tonfa. Firing his revolvers into the mechs legs destroying the armor from the anti-aura explosive rounds. Jumping he heard Ruby yell out again.
"ICE FLOWER!" she said as Weiss summoned a glyph for her to shoot through freezing the legs in place as Yang came around again destroying the mech sending Roman flying. He stood up complaining that his coat got dirty. Yang fired a shell at him only for a girl with an umbrella to deflect it before bowing to which Yang punched at her and they both shattered disappearing into a bullhead.
"Well I guess she made our plans fall apart?" Weiss said causing us all to groan. Nero just walked away with Terra.
An hour later they returned to their dorm rooms. Nero and Terra walked into NACT's dorm to find Chelsea and Atorious watching the news about a fight under the highway. They both turned towards us with knowing eyes.
"Later right now now we need sleep." Nero stated and Terra nods in agreement as the other two agreed before going to bed. In the morning Nero was woke up to knocking on the door. He got up in his pajama pants and socks walked to the door and opened it to see Dr. Oobleck holding a decent sized box.
"A package for you it's from someone named Vaako." he said in his usual speed tone.
"Oh, it's here already sweet." Nero said with a tired smirk. "Thank you Dr. Oobleck and please call me Nero, Mr Krell makes me feel old."
"No problem Nero what is in it anyway?" he quickly said. "It had a little weight to it."
"A new set of armor i don't want to rely on my aura and semblance the entire time." Nero told him. Taking out one of the gauntlets show the Doctor. "Each piece has dust lining the edges."
"Very well Nero I shall take my leave so you can rest some more, Goodbye." He told The snake teen.
"Goodbye to you to Dr. Oobleck." he nodded to the teacher closing the door. He put the box on his desk before going back to sleep waiting for the morning.
