RWBY belongs to Rooster teeth I do not own it
To say Ruby was curious as to why Grimoire wanted to see them was an understatement. Especially since it looked like Chains Gate was at war. She was still shaken from earlier that day when team JNPR and RWBY had encountered Wolfram, a vampire who slaughtered a group of White Fang soldiers without even flinching. She was brought out of her thoughts by Krieg whom was waving his hand in front of her face. "Yo little red riding hood? ya there?"
"I'm here, just droned out a bit." Krieg nodded before he stepped back and gestured for them to follow him.
As they walked team RWBY spoke among themselves. "I dont like it, they're revving up for something I can feel it." Ruby nodded Blake had a point, she was definitely seeing a lot of activity as they went further into the cavernous fortress.
They turned down into a corridor with a sign that said 'war hall' hanging by a single chain link lodged in the ceiling. "Definitely not creepy." Weiss deadpanned. Krieg snorted a laugh and turned to her. "Oh you haven't seen nothing yet!" They continued down the hall passing Vampires armed with a wide assortment of weapons from prior to the war to modern day weapons used in the militaries of the world. Ruby of course had to be held back as she tried to get to every single one of them and find out what they were. She was promptly stopped by a shadowy limb grabbing her the second before she impacted into one of the poor guards. Before anyone could react more limbs grabbed the rest of the team and they were being pulled through the hall faster than Ruby's speed before stopping abruptly and being dropped in front of a large entryway this one with the sign that said 'Training Arena' which had several bullet holes in it.
"Again totally not creepy and what?" Weiss looked to Krieg to answers only to see Yang step forward into the shadows which were quickly destroyed by the huge lights that turned on above the team as they walked forward. "Hello Grimoire?, you wanted to see us?" Ruby shouted into the large stadium which was twice the size of the training rooms in Beacon.
"Come in! Come in! We have much to do and only a day or so to do it!" The girls lept away from Grimoire whom had somehow gotten behind them. Ruby was the first to calm down first. "Uhh sir? Why did you want us down here again?" Grimoire's smile worried her then she saw what he was twirling between his fingers.
"Its simple really I'm going to show you how to fight." Weiss scowled. "We already know how to fight." Grimoire laughed as he passed them and stood in the middle of the arena holding up the long strand of blonde hair he had plucked from Yang's head. "Do you know how to fight monsters? If so come and prove it!" Ruby looked to Blake who had figured Grimoires plan a moment too late. Yang catapulted forward as Weiss used her glyphs to get behind him. "It's a trap!" Too late indeed, Grimoire dodged Yang's punch and stepped into her guard before saying in a calm voice barely loud enough to hear. "Your anger will be your greatest strength and worst downfall," He backhanded her launching her into a wall and to the shock of all gathered she was knocked out in a single blow.
Grimoire turned on his heel and was upon Weiss just as quickly whispering. "Pride and selfishness will get you nowhere your ancestors learned that at the edge of my brothers blade." He flicked her back towards Ruby and Blake. Ruby caught an unconscious Weiss while being driven back a few feet. "Come on now!" He taunted jumping from foot to foot. Ruby placed Weiss gently on the floor and looked to Blake who nodded as Ruby set Weiss down.
They rushed forward using their weapons to get around him. Blake was taken out with an outstretched shadow foot and a swift chop to the stomach. Ruby however got behind Grimoire and was about to strike when Grimoire rolled out of the way and delivered the final blow, a swift smack across the back of the head. Ruby landed on the stone, unconscious.
Grimoire looked around at the four defeated huntresses and shook his head. "This is gonna take a while…" Krieg whom had enterd shortly after the girls had entered sighed. "Ash is gonna get a kick out of this."
That's a rather short chapter finished! I apologize for the length there's no excuse for it. Also I value your reviews and please follow the story.
P.S. There will be a full explanation on why Grimoire provoked team Rwby next chapter but until then have an excellent weekend!
