Hey guys, I am back. It has been a while, but I managed to write a new chapter. I really haven't had time to write with finals coming up but in my spare time I wrote this.
FYI, it is long.
Enjoy
"I don't quite like this plan," Eva told Blaise as Logan, Ozella, and Daniel pushed a railgun cannon into position on top of a building.
"I don't like this plan either Eva," Blaise said turning to her to see AQRS place another railgun cannon on top of another building, "but it was the best I could come up with on such short notice. Also I don't think the railguns would work out well on the Revenant Wing. Let's just hope Alex's plan helps out."
"Well if what Alex told us is true they should be a great help."
"Hey guys," Lucius said getting Blaise and Eva's attention. "We are going to need to get into position."
"What is simpler than get into the street and wait?" Blaise asked. "Are you wearing the armor?"
"Yes," he replied stepping out from behind the crates. He was wearing a light black armored combat suit with a black leather trench coat over the top of it. Over the top of the coat he was wearing a belt around his waist with two smaller versions of Blaise's railguns holstered on it. Strapped to his back was a long black metal staff with a dust catalyst head leading into the staff.
"So how much longer do we have to wait?" Eva asked looking at the sky. Before the two guys could answer the Revenant Wing fired off the dust cannons hitting a soldier transport ship causing it to explode.
"That answer your question?" Blaise asked pulling out one of his cutlasses and directed his attention to the cannon on top of the buildings. "Alright you guys! We are going to have to hold out here for roughly half an hour before help arrives! If the soldiers get onto the ground everyone must head off to the fight! Eva and Lucius will then man the cannons to take out the ships! Now, on my mark!" He was silent for a few moments as the cannons aimed at their targets. With a quick downward slash he shouted, "Fire!"
"So, was knockout darts really necessary?" Lapis asked the soldiers for the tenth time waiting for a response as both he and Zaria were handcuffed to a bolted down table still getting no response. "Some conversation would be nice."
"They don't talk much," a man said walking into the room. Looking at him they saw a middle aged man in decent physical condition wearing a worn out military uniform. "They talk about as much as you'd expect a robot would."
"So who are you?" Lapis asked the man.
"Oh where are my manners, General Jason Wilkerson, leader of The Order. So will the two of you tell us why you happened to be in Eriford?" he asked sitting down in the chair across the table.
"We were just investigating a package sent to our friend," Zaria answered him.
"Well that seems harmless," Wilkerson said pulling out his scroll. "Now tell me, do you know this person?" he asked pulling up a picture of Blaise sent from the soldier moments before it died.
"Well yes," Lapis answered, "that is our team leader. He was the one who received the package."
"Really? And do you know what Blood has done?"
"Blood?" Lapis asked cocking his head to the side.
"Yes, Blood, or more specifically Blood Moon. That is what he calls himself."
"Why?"
"Because he is an assassin," Wilkerson said placing the scroll down on the table. "He has killed many people. He surfaced here around three years ago and killed my soldiers stationed here for the assassin society here, but we have come back to retake the city. We didn't want civilians caught in the crossfire so they were evacuated."
"And what about us?" Zaria asked raising an eyebrow.
"What about you? You both admitted to being part of a team to a dangerous assassin. We are going to take you outside and shoot you," he said with a small smirk on his face.
"What the fuck?!" Lapis shouted jerking his hands toward Wilkerson only to be stopped by the handcuffs.
"Oh don't worry, our soldiers have excellent accuracy. It will be over fast," he said as the soldiers unhandcuffed Lapis and Zaria and led them out of the room.
"Zaria, to the left," Lapis whispered to her motioning to the guards carrying their weapons and Lapis' armor pack. "When I give you the sign, get them."
"What's the sign?" she asked as the weapons came closer.
"You won't miss it," Lapis said flaring up his semblance allowing him to break the handcuffs behind his back. Turning around he punched the first soldier in the head breaking off its head. Then spinning around he broke the other soldier's head off.
Zaria jumped and slid her hands over her legs she managed to bring her hands to her front side. Bolting at the weapons she jump kicked the soldiers making them drop their weapons.
"A weapon would be nice at the moment," Lapis said ripping the head off of another soldier.
"Hold on for just a moment," she said jumping back up to her feet. Quickly reaching down she grabbed Lapis' battle axe and threw it at the berserker who chopped down three soldiers at once. "Now cut these." She stuck her arms out for him to cut the handcuffs and a moment later he did. "Great." Picking up her katanas she cut down the soldiers nearest to her.
"Not to be picky or anything, but my armor would be nice," he said dodging a dust round nearly hitting his head.
"Here," she said grabbing the pack by its strap and threw it Lapis who caught it in mid spin.
Sliding the first strap over his shoulder he tossed his battle axe into his other hand to strike another robot. Then he slid the second strap over his other shoulder and tapped his wristband activating the armor's mechanisms.
"We should get back into the town and find Blaise and Eva," Lapis said punching another robot with his newly armored fist.
"From what I can tell the town is east of here," she said pointing towards the town. As she did that further east there was an explosion and an airship fell from the sky.
"Well this can't be good."
"Brace!" Logan shouted as one of The Order's carrier ships fired their own dust cannon hitting the building they were on. The building below then started to crumble and with the added weight of the railgun cannon the roof collapsed throwing the three assassins and the railgun cannon onto the street.
"Alex! Take out that ship!" Blaise shouted as he ran over to the ruble of the building.
"On it!" Alex shouted as the railgun changed targets and hit the carrier ship blowing it up.
"Guys, you alright?" Blaise asked as he picked a large piece of rubble and threw it off of the assassins to find Logan over Ozella and Daniel shielding them, but in the act of doing so he tore up his hoodie.
"Peachy," Logan replied using aura to heal the wounds on his back. Regaining his balance he inspected his hoodie and with one swift movement he ripped it off. Now everyone could see his mechanical right arm, his slicked back spiky black hair, and the three claw scars going over his right eye. "Now, when can I finally shoot something?" he asked pulling his giant revolver from his holster and pulled back the hammer.
"When the ships land, then you can shoot robots," Ozella said pulling out two large straight razors.
"But come on. We should've gone on the Revenant Wing," Logan complained as Ozella lowered her hood showing off her features.
She had a slightly darker skin tone that complemented her black hair that fades to a red then to a white at the tips and a single white stripe. On the top of her head were two ears with black fur on the back and white on the front.
"Team BLOD is the best team The Brothers has in this region of Remnant," Ozella said poking Logan in the chest, "If we were on that ship we wouldn't be able to fight the robots and our superiors would probably kill us."
"Wait, Blaise isn't the leader?" Quinton asked overhearing the conversation.
"No, no I am not," Blaise said pulling Daniel up who then pulled out two sickles from his belt. "When I came here three years ago The Brothers were already here. They were hesitant about letting me in. Then I managed to convince them and I joined these three idiots-"
"Hey!"
"-and they respected me. Not to mention the fact I kept calling myself 'Blood Moon' didn't really make them trust me anymore. The guy in charge is some Italian guy who is probably somewhere in Atlas."
"Blaise! Eva!" they heard somebody shout from behind them. Turning around they saw Lapis and Zaria both running for their lives. Looking past the two teenagers Blaise saw what they were running from.
"Logan, you just might have a chance to use that thing," Blaise said pulling out his second pistol and aiming in his teammates direction. Firing off two bullets everyone watched as the bullets flew right past Lapis' face hitting two of the robot soldiers.
"Are you crazy?!" Lapis shouted as he continued his run to the group.
"Do I really need to answer that?" Blaise asked as he shot two more robots.
"Who are these guys?" Zaria asked reaching the group as she gestured to Logan, Ozella, and Daniel.
"Just some old assassin friends," Blaise said taking out some more robots. "Logan you can help out any time."
"Relax," Logan said aiming the revolver. "I recently had to downsize so I don't have the rocket launcher with incredible range. So now all I have is a revolver that can shoot 40 mm grenade rounds and shotgun shells."
"So you're still useless at long range." Blaise smirked as he mockingly fired off six shots killing more robots to rub it in.
"Oh shut up," Logan said as he fired off a grenade with a loud thump hitting a group of robots blowing them up, at that moment Alex silently gulped.
"Are you boys done showing off," Lucius said walking in front of the group with his staff in hand.
"Come on grandpa, what are you going to do?" Logan asked causing Lucius to smirk.
"For the record, I am only 25. And did you honestly forget? I am a scientist, and one of the projects I am working on is blood transfusions," Lucius said twisting the selector on his staff causing the dust catalyst to turn red. "What that does is cause recipient to temporarily gain the abilities of someone else's semblance. It only works for people who can use their semblances after their aura's gone, which really narrows it down. Lucky for me, I can do that." He stuck out the catalyst in the direction and a red glyph formed in front of it. In front of the glyph six red orbs formed and with one swift movement the orbs flew into the direction of the horde causing a significant number of robots to explode.
"Are you guys done measuring dicks?" Ozella asked walking over to the group of guys who froze for a split second. "Good. Now, we have an army to kill. Is anyone going to come up with an offensive?"
After a few moments of silence Lapis looked at the broken building and came up with an idea. "Logan and Quinton, come with me," he said jogging to the rubble followed by the group of people and Quinton after he landed.
"What are you planning?" Logan asked as Lapis threw a piece of rubble off of the pile.
"Just you two help me out here, everyone else go and hold off the robots," Lapis said and the others dispersed.
"So now what do we do?" Eva asked as the group stood in the middle of the street waiting for the incoming army.
"Well, we could still fire from long range until the army gets close then we fight close combat," Daniel suggested.
"Fine by me," Lucius said creating a glyph and firing fire orbs down the street.
"This seems a little one sided," Logan pointed out firing another grenade at the horde.
"Didn't you learn anything from me?" Blaise asked as he turned around to face the airships just as one landed and soldiers started marching out. "Never say anything like that because you're just going to jinx it. Eva, Zaria, come with me." He ran towards the ships followed shortly after by the girls.
"You know, something is really bothering me," Eva said to Zaria as the group moved slightly to the left to avoid dust bullets. "How was Blaise able to come here, join a group of assassins, and nearly defeat an organization at the age of 14?"
"Same way I do everything," Blaise said running to the side of a construction site. As he got there he grabbed on to a temporary elevator cable. "Pure luck." He drew Fortune and cut the bottom of the cable sending himself flying upward four stories. "No skill required!" he shouted as he landed on the roof of a small building.
"Show off," Zaria grumbled as she jumped on to the hood of a car to get some lift avoiding the bullets from the soldiers.
"Then I guess it's my turn," Eva said collapsing her spear and drawing her long sword.
As soon as she saw the light from the dust rifles light up she activated her semblance. Estimating the trajectory of the bullets she started to swing her spear and sword. Dodging the first cluster of bullets she deflected the ones coming at her in her new path.
Continuing her charge she continued this routine until she managed to reach the robots. Just as the soldiers started to draw their weapons Eva jumped and then she struck forward with her foot cleaving the first robot's head off. Still in mid-air she stabbed the spear into the head of another robot as she hit a different robot with her other foot. turning the longsword into a bow she quickly drew and arrow and fired off the explosive shot hitting the middle of the horde causing everything to be thrown back. As she was thrown in mid-air she grabbed her spear from the robot's head and pulled it out.
"Show off!" Zaria shouted to her partner as she jumped into the fray. Activating her semblance she began to strike at the robots dismembering the soldiers and cutting off their heads one after another. "So where is Blaise?"
"Over here!" Blaise shouted from further ahead of the girls. Looking briefly they saw him with both Revenge and Fortune out in alternating directions using the recoil from the railguns to spin creating a lethal blur. "I've been taking out a large group of them, what's been taking you so long?"
"Oh shut up," Eva said firing a crossbow bolt in Blaise's direction hitting the last soldier in the head.
"Now that was interesting. Is the world moving to anyone else?" he asked falling onto the ground dropping his swords.
"Maybe it's your fault that you just spun at the speeds of a railgun bullet," Zaria replied using her katanas as support. Unbeknownst to anyone there they left one robot still functioning.
With only the upper half of its torso remaining it rebooted doing a quick systems check. Extending it's only weapon left, an aura piercing blade, the robot started to crawl towards the closest source of noise.
"I'm trying to tell you, there is no skill in what I do. I just do what I try and I do it. Granted I have had years of training I'm not just running around doing random bullshit."
"So it does require skill to do some of the things you do." The robot started approaching more slowly.
"I use skill when fighting, sneaking, and avoiding obstacles. I do not really need it for the random things I do like riding an elevator cable into the sky." The robot was nearing the source of noise.
"Is there any point in arguing with you?"
"Not really." At that remark the robot pounced from the debris of fallen robots and lunched at Blaise with its blade extended. The three didn't even have time to react. Blaise started to reach for his pistols, Eva started bringing up her crossbow, and Zaria was reaching behind her for her pistol.
They weren't even fast enough to draw their weapons, but luckily for Blaise a gold and red object flew through the sky impaling the robot's head to the ground. The only bad part… the object impaled the ground just below his groin missing him by mere millimeters.
"Sorry," a voice called out from above. Looking up the three teens saw a small high speed Manos airship hovering above the area. In the open doors each of them saw team JNPR, with Jaune in the back over a trash can.
"Arrived just in time," Blaise replied standing up slightly wobbling from dizziness. "Next time though, can you not aim for my crotch."
"I was aiming for the robot's head, he just happened to get above you," Pyrrha explained as she and the rest of her team dropped from the airship.
"Oh ground, how I have missed you," Jaune said hugging the street.
"What happened?" Ren asked ejecting his guns from his sleeves.
"Long or short?" Eva asked resting on her extended spear.
"Preferably short."
"Shit happened, we're fighting an army of robots," Blaise said sheathing his swords as Pyrrha pulled her spear from the robot's head.
"And you called us why?" Jaune asked standing up from the ground.
"Mostly her," Eva said pointing at Pyrrha. "With her semblance this would go over a lot easier. You, you're good at tactics, and in case you didn't notice, out best tactic was to charge in and fight them after they landed. Nora is good at hitting thing with her hammer and with her grenades that have actual range we can fight a decent amount of the horde. And Ren, you have a decent amount of close combat fighting and aura control."
"So you just wanted to use us."
"Kinda," Blaise responded starting to walk towards the carrier ship, "We called you here to help. Now, we need you four to get back to our impromptu base, the others are holding the robots off there. The one with wolf ears is my older brother, go to him if you get injured."
"Where are you going?" Pyrrha asked him.
"To finish things," Blaise replied hitting the door control button as he walked in closing the bay door behind him.
"Where is that idiot going?" Logan asked as the carrier ship flew just above the buildings heading towards the west.
"He seems to be going to the forest," Lapis responded as he threw the last piece of rubble off of the railgun cannon.
"Why are we even getting that out? The base broke off so we can't have it locked down anywhere to fire at ships, and even the firing mechanism is broken."
"Normally we would use these to fire at ships, but we're not fighting ships are we?" Lapis asked with a smirk forming on his face.
"So you want us to take this out and shoot at the soldier army Lucius is holding off with roughly 15 barrier glyphs?" Quinton asked.
"Yes," Lapis replied.
"Even though the firing pin is broken," Logan said looking at the broken cannon.
"I haven't worked out that much. Since all the firing pin does is hit the back of the shell casing to create a spark inside of it to ignite the black dust inside, all we have to do is hit the back of the shell with something to create the spark," Lapis explained grabbing one end of the cannon and motioning for Quinton to pick up the other side.
"So, who is going to hit the end of the shell?" Jaune asked walking over to the brothers as they picked the cannon out of the rubble.
"Who are you?" Logan asked slightly reaching for his gun.
"He's a friend," Quinton answered as he and Lapis dropped the cannon. "Alex called them."
"So, you have any ideas?" Logan asked the knight.
"Well," Jaune said surveying the area surrounding them then looked in the direction of his team. "Nora! Come over here!" Jaune said catching the attention of the Valkyrie.
"What's up Jaune-Jaune?" Nora asked skipping over to the group of guys.
"Guys, here's my plan," Jaune said looking at the guys with a smile plastered on his face.
"What is that sound?" Wilkerson asked looking up from his desk to look out his window only to see one of his carrier ships heading towards his camp.
"Bring it on motherfucker," Blaise said jerking the ship's steering downward causing the ship to start on a collision course for the camp. Not waiting another moment Blaise started to dash out of the cockpit hitting the bay door control button on his way out.
Jumping over the railing into the cargo bay he continued his dash for the bay doors that were slowly opening on the other side of the long cargo bay. He could hear the bottom of the ship start to scrape against the tree line, only making his run faster. Just as he reached the threshold the ship started to hit the ground. Making one fateful jump he flew through the bay doors rolling on to the ground.
Turning around to look at the temporary base he saw a figure jump from the tallest window as the carrier ship collided with the tower only to land on the ship. As soon as the figure landed it rand down the back of the ship avoiding being thrown into the crumbling tower. Getting to the end of the ship the figure jumped off and landed near Blaise. Standing up Blaise recognized the faded green military uniform, Wilkerson.
"Long time no see, mutt," Wilkerson spat as he propped himself on one knee. "So you finally came back."
"I've been busy," Blaise cringed under the cloth half mask as he stumbled up. "School does consume a lot of one's time."
"So I see. You do realize fighting is futile," Wilkerson said standing up. "I have an army attacking the city where your friends are most likely dying."
"Hate to break it to you, but they are probably more likely to survive than your soldiers," Blaise retorted stretching his break cracking it with every movement. "Most of those guys are probably capable of beating me. Not to mention now we have a person capable of controlling metal."
"It doesn't matter, ever since my previous defeat I assembled an army like no one has ever seen. Completely on par with the Atlesian Army," he boasted proudly.
"So if your army is on par with the Atlesian Army, why didn't you just take over some other country and establish your rule?" Blaise asked causing Wilkerson to freeze.
"I wished to destroy you and your forces before world domination."
"But that makes no sense considering we've taken out roughly 15 of your carrier ships," an explosion sounded off in the distance, "16. Not to mention two of my teammates and I took out a whole carrier ship by ourselves. Put in the fact that according to the logs on your carrier ship you only have 25 ships total. Five of which you had emptied here and now fighting their way into town. So to put it simply, you are only four ships strong and I hate to break it to ya, but we have a full fledged warship with state of the art dust cannons, so your ships aren't going to last long," Blaise explained causing Wilkerson to get angry.
"My whole goal was to destroy you Blood, I will sacrifice any number of soldiers just to accomplish that."
"You really need to set your priorities straight," Blaise replied pulling out Revenge and Fortune. "I guess we now need to settle this once and for all."
"Wheee!" Nora gleefully shouted as she hit the back of the shell firing the cannon sized bullet out of the railgun cannon.
"Nora!" Lapis shouted as he pushed against the back of the cannon preventing it from flying away. "We need to have those guys prepared to push against the recoil."
"No kidding," Logan grunted from under the cannon. "We're doing our best here to hold this damn thing up. We don't need getting our arms blown off. Trust me, it's not a pleasant experience."
"Load another one," Nora demanded ignoring the other teenagers' comments. "I wanna get a new high score."
"Well they seem to be busy over there," Lucius commented to Pyrrha generating another glyph behind the previous one since the robots broke through another one.
"You should see her on pancake day," Pyrrha responded.
"So, I've been informed that your semblance is polarity."
"Yes, I tend to keep it hidden."
"Well, today we need you to use it a lot," Lucius said walking over to her side. "We need you to be stationed on that building near the horde. Using your polarity you need to push back the army the best you can, preferably destroying as many of them as you can."
"Are you sure you don't want me on the ground? I am a better fighter than I am at using my semblance on a large scale."
"No, tactically, your best location is on the building doing your Magneto thing. At least that's what Jaune said. He and Lie will be on the ground with the rest of our fighters on the ground. My blood transfusion glyphs will wear off soon so I need to get down there. After you've gotten to the point where you don't think you should continue to use your semblance for what you're doing, then come down and help us fight."
"I see you've gotten better," Wilkerson said dodging Blaise's strike then hit him in the face with the blunt end of his halberd. "But you're still not good enough."
"I should really pay attention in class," Blaise responded standing back up he sheathed one of his cutlasses. "Although there is one thing I did learn however. It was a specific lesson I learned from my sister. It was very simple. Do you want to know what it was?"
"What?" Wilkerson asked.
"Punch your target till it dies," Blaise said throwing a left hook at Wilkerson hitting him in the jaw throwing him back.
"Interesting," Wilkerson said standing back up, "Abnormal strength yet you don't seem to show the proper muscle mass for this level of force. It would seem you had specialized training, probably to learn how to properly use your railgun pistols."
"Yeah, living on the street causes one to learn things," Blaise said pressing his hand on his throbbing forehead.
"And the blades, aura piercing. If not then you would've had a hard time being an assassin."
"Yes, but you seem to not be worried," Blaise responded raising an eyebrow.
"Why would I be, my halberd is a very interesting weapon. Most huntsmen nowadays make their weapons into guns on the side. There are even weapon conventions where people show off their weapons, like this one girl I had met once. She wore a red cloak and called herself 'Little Rambo,' but then she blew up a grenade stand. But the most interesting thing is, her weapons was a red sniper rifle that turned into a scythe taller than she was."
"Get to the point old man."
"Geez, young people. An old man just can't catch his breath nowadays."
"You seem to be in decent physical state."
"Besides the point," Wilkerson said gripping his halberd, then in one swift jump forward off the ground striking with the bladed end of the halberd. Blaise didn't even have time to react so the blade didn't miss. It cut Blaise's face straight upward only causing a vertical cut over his left cheek leading across his eye. "This specific variation of aura piercing blade was outlawed years ago. It has a knack for cutting a person's flesh and preventing them from using their aura to heal."
"Gahh!" Blaise shouted muffled by the mask. Covering his face with his hand he looked at Wilkerson who was propped against his halberd laughing.
"Lucius! Why are they flickering?!" Daniel asked looking towards the other remaining wolf faunus.
"Simple," Lucius replied with his staff pointed down the street, "My temporary semblance is failing."
"So we are basically boned," Alex said raising his dust swords.
"Basically," he responded. "Pyrrha! Are you ready?!"
"As I will be!" the spartan responded.
"Everyone! Be ready to fire!" Lucius shouted impaling the bottom of the staff into the street sending a pulse out breaking all the glyphs in the area allowing the robots to continue their charge at the people.
"Ooh~ Me first!" Nora cheered hitting the back of the artillery shell firing off the bullet down the cannon increasing the speed of the projectile smashing through the horde destroying every robot in the bullet's path all the way down to the forest.
"Good job, Nora," Lucius commended her twisting the dust selector to change the catalyst to black with specks of grey.
Meanwhile Pyrrha was having a decently difficult time on her own. Sending magnetic waves down the south alley she managed to destroy several of the circuits inside of the robots while creating a magnetic trap for oncoming robots. Though this was a useful process it took most of her energy every magnetic blast. It didn't take long before the spartan was tiring out.
The robots had managed to get past the north barricade of the fallen building's rubble. Lucky for the team, both Jaune and Ren were waiting along with Daniel and Ozella. None of them waited another moment. Reacting quickly Daniel jumped upward and hooked the street lamp with his sickle pulling himself into the air launching himself at the horde.
Ozella flicked her straight razors open and waited. When the first robot came close she disarmed it quickly and spun it around. Putting the soldier into a headlock she jerked her hand to the side cutting the robot's head off.
Thanks to Pyrrha's training Jaune was able to hold his own in the fight. Blocking the first few rounds with his shield Jaune spun around swinging Crocea Mors he managed to decapitate the closest robot. Parrying the second soldier's sword he bashed the soldier's head with the shield then he dove the Crocea Mors into the soldier's chest cutting off the power supply.
Ren kicked the first robot causing it to stumble. Flipping Stormflower around he dove both blades into the head of the soldier causing it to shut down. Using the robot's body as a shield he fired off several bullets hitting their mark destroying several more soldiers..
Daniel landed in the horde and copied the technique he learned from Blaise and planted one foot down. Pivoting on that foot he stabbed the blade into the chest of the first soldier and cut through the rest of the soldier. Stabbing the next soldier he repeated the process.
"There's no point in focusing your aura into that cut. It won't heal except from natural means, which usually ends with a scar," Wilkerson said spinning the halberd in his hand slowly approaching Blaise.
"So you say that that is a specialized aura piercing blade. Well mine are special in their own way," Blaise said dropping his second cutlass on the ground. "I come from a long line of champions, that's what my family name means. We also have a very interesting knack for having deadly weapons. My name is Blaise Campione, and we specialize in aura cancelling blades." Ejecting his right wrist blade he ignited it with black flames and plunged it into Wilkerson's chest. "And now you can't heal yourself. One of the more interesting things about my blades is simple. Any other wounds you receive you cannot heal." He then covered his hands in black aura generating claws which he used to grab Wilkerson's neck.
"And finally, your 'Order' is bat shit crazy," Blaise said then ripped out Wilkerson's throat.
"Everybody! Fall back!" Quinton shouted as each of them threw the railgun cannon at the oncoming horde causing a large explosion.
Each person in the group backed up till each of them were in a large circle in the middle of the intersection.
Nora had fired off several grenades, but when the robots came close she transformed Magnhild into its hammer form and started smashing any robots that came near. Ren had continued to fight close combat with each of the soldiers cutting them down as the soldiers came near. Jaune, even with his new skills, still was managing to be hit on occasion, but still managed to hold his own.
"There is just no end to them," Alex said stabbing a robot with his longsword on fire.
"Everyone down!" Lucius shouted causing everybody to drop. Stabbing the end of the staff into the ground he sent a pulse through the air knocking every robot through the air letting them be affected by their new gravity for a couple seconds before crashing into the ground.
"Well that was interesting," Reita said standing up.
"Gravity dust," Lucius replied. "Hitting someone with the pulse sends them flying in the opposite direction changing their personal gravity direction. That will only stall them for a few moments, we need a fast plan."
There were a few moments of silence as everyone was thinking. Then Daniel spoke. "EMP."
"EMP?" Nora asked.
"Electro Magnetic Pulse," Ozella said. "It will destroy any piece of technology within the blast radius, except for things with EMP protection like scrolls and Logan's arm."
"So how are we going to do that?" Logan asked her.
"Tailcoat, pop out the yellow dust from your longswords, and Spartan girl, get ready to punch something with your semblance."
Moments later Alex had brought out all his extra electric dust and Pyrrha had stumbled over to the dust pile in the middle of the circle with the help of Jaune. Even Lucius pulled out any extra gravity dust he had for the mixture.
"Ok, so the plan is simple: We wait till the horde is close in, and Pyrrha hits the dust pile with a magnetic blast. That should send the robots flying and they'll die, well shut down," Lucius said looking at the horde starting to move towards the group.
"And this is the best plan we could come up with," Logan shrugged before he threw his hands up in frustration. "Now I wish the tactician from Beacon came up with this plan."
"Actually, I did," Jaune sheepishly said kinda cowering behind the spartan.
"We're dead."
"Well, let's hope that's wrong," Lucius said pointing to the horde closing in.
"Pyrrha! Punch it!" Quinton shouted raising his shield to protect him and Shizuko.
She threw her fist down, then the explosion happened.
I told you it was long. Nearly 5,000 words. I decided to throw in JNPR because it makes sense and because I hadn't used them in a long time.
Just so you guys know, Ozella is a red panda faunus, I didn't really describe her that much.
Now I need to get some sleep and study for my chem test today.
Wish me luck.
Have a nice day.
