Another chapter of Son of Qrow coming up! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (RIP) along with Rooster Teeth.
"An underground village?" A confused Yang asked with her eyebrow raised.
"Well technically yes. It did act as a safe haven, that was until..." Aodh answered but slowly drifted off from finishing his sentence.
"Until an explosion opened the mouth of another cavern, filled with subterranean Grimm. After that, the Kingdom officially sealed off the tunnels, creating the world's largest tomb." However Dr Oobleck finished the sentence Aodh started.
"If Ruby is down there. We have to find her!" Aodh calmly spoke as he pulled out Scath and Solas as Dr Oobleck activated his weapon as well. The girls seemed nervous for a moment but brushed there nerves aside as they looked to rescue Ruby. Blake picked up her scythe as they jumped into the hole.
Volume 2: Chapter 11: Three-Ten to Vale
(Ruby)
"Wow! You are much more manageable without that over-sized gardening tool of yours." Roman laughed as he pushed Ruby to the ground. Ruby gets up again and rushes towards Roman but he simply side steps her out of the way. Once more she falls to the ground. "Oh man. You know, Perry, I really did need this." The White Fang member called Perry replies simply with a thumbs up.
"But seriously. How'd you find this place, Red?"
Ruby never responded but instead growled and activated her speed semblance to try and escape from Roman. She quickly tired to make her way to an exit. Roman then fired the handle of his cane towards Ruby and caught her hood pulling her back to him. "I see you've got some tricks up your sleeve! Let me make this clear. We're not through here yet."
Suddenly a massive explosion sounds off and catches Roman's attention. "Oh, what the... Perry, if you and the boys could take care of that? Kinda in the middle of something." Perry nods and takes two other members with him to investigate. However another explosion happens this time closer. "WHAT is going on here?!"
When the third explosion sounded off Roman was beyond pissed as he seen several members of the White Fang retreating. However he soon dropped his guard when he seen Aodh, Dr Oobleck and the remaining members of Team RWBY along with a dog chase down the members of the White Fang. Ruby then took her chance to escape and ran for it.
"Somebody kill her!" Roman ordered as he and several members of the White Fang opened fire on Ruby.
In her attempt to flee Ruby dodges and weaves between the oncoming bullets. But she screeches to a halt as she realizes she's running towards a group of White Fang members who were ready for her. But a huge explosion appears behind the White Fang members sending them flying away. Yang stands proudly behind the explosion once it subsides.
"Ruby!" Yang shouted as her sister jumped into her arms.
"Are you okay?" A concerned Weiss asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! But listen! Torchwick's got all kinds of weapons and robots down there." Ruby informed the group.
"What?!" A shocked Blake asked as she handed Ruby back her scythe.
"Androids, armored suits, they're all loaded up on the train cars!" Ruby informed them.
"Ahhhh, that's ridiculous. These tunnels are sealed, the tracks lead to a dead end." Dr Oobleck disagreed.
"Well they might've cleared it or they plan to barge into it." However Aodh countered which brought some concern to Dr Oobleck's face.
"Get to your places, we are leaving now!" Roman's voice shouted out over a PA system as the train started to move towards the tunnel.
"Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere." Yang stated.
"We need backup. Let me call Jaune." Ruby attempted to call Jaune but her scroll showed an error message saying low signal. "I can't get through!"
"So, what do we do?"
"There's only one thing to do." Aodh smiled as he answered Weiss' question.
"We're stopping that train!" A determined Ruby responded. As quick as they could the group jumped on top of the moving train.
"Hurry, children! We must get to the front and stop this train!" Dr Oobleck ordered but as they were about to move forwards Weiss' nervous voice broke out.
"Err... Professor?" Weiss asked from an open hatch roof door.
"Doctor!" Dr Oobleck quickly corrected her.
"What's that?" Weiss simply asked as she pointed towards a device inside the carriage.
"That my dear... appears to..."
"HOLY SHIT IS THAT A BOMB!"Aodh shouted in shock.
"What he said." Dr Oobleck confirmed Aodh's statement.
The rest of Team RWBY then jumped backwards away from the open hatch.
"We've got baddies!" Ruby shouted as she seen members of the White Fang climb on top of the train.
"Well, I didn't expect them to go..." Dr Oobleck started to talk before the bomb below activated. "easy on us." Slowly Dr Oobleck got up.
"You just had to go and say that... Didn't you Barty!" Aodh gritted through his teeth in annoyance as he spoke.
"Time to go! Blake! Detach the caboose! It will kill us all!" Dr Oobleck ordered Blake.
"On it." Blake responded as she jumped down.
"That's what I'm calling you now." Aodh laughed as he spoke to Dr Oobleck.
"Calling me what?"
"Caboose."
However with Blake just as she was about to slash towards the cart detached itself. "Huh? It decoupled itself!"
"What?!" Dr Oobleck and Aodh asked at the same time.
"I guess he really doesn't want us on this train." Yang guessed.
Dr Oobleck and Aodh watched the detached train explode and crash into the roof of the tunnel.
"Little over the top don't you think?.." Aodh simply stated as he reacted to the cart exploding.
"That's not good..."
"Err, neither is this!" Ruby spoke as she stood
"Another bomb?!"
"No. No. No." In a panicked state Dr Oobleck rushed past Ruby and Weiss to another cart and opened the hatch. "They ALL have bombs!"
"Ahh shit!" Aodh cursed under his breath.
"This doesn't make sense!" Yang shouted out.
By this stage the members of the White Fang were closing in on the group.
"Get the Humans!"
Team RWBY jumped in front of the two teachers and fought off the members of the White Fang with ease. As Driu watched on ready to act in case Team RWBY needed support. Dr Oobleck however looked behind and watched as another cart exploded but this time the roof of the tunnel collapsed.
"Oh, dear..." Dr Oobleck softly spoke in horror as several creatures of Grimm fell from above and started to pour into the tunnel.
"What is it?!" Aodh turned around as he asked only see see hordes of Grimm.
"He's leading Grimm to the city!"
"What?" Weiss shouted out.
"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!"
"That's insane!" Blake stated in shock.
"Not as insane as what i'm about to do... Girls... If this train makes it to Vale and some Grimm get through... Never give up and fight until the end. Fight with your back to each other." Aodh softly spoke as he hugged Yang and Ruby.
"What are you doing?" Yang nervously asked as they both held onto Aodh.
"Slowing down the Grimm." Aodh swiped away his two younger cousins and jumped off the train.
"He knows what he's doing we have to trust him but we have to hurry as well! You three, go below and try to stop those bombs!" Dr Oobleck pointed towards Yang, Blake and Weiss. They nodded in agreement and jumped into an open hatch.
"What about us?"
"We're going to stop this train."
"Yeah, I know. I said that earlier."
(Aodh)
"This has to be the dumbest thing i've ever done." Aodh sighed in annoyance at himself. The Grimm however did not slow down as the continue'd down the tunnel towards Vale. "Well here goes nothing... BURN!" Aodh roared outwards as the large vortex of flames exploded from the fire dust within his lungs. Several Grimm were burnt to nothing but the flames weren't enough to hold them back.
"Too many huh... Then let's lower some of the numbers then." Taking Scath and Solas in there revolver forms Aodh fired Gravity and lightning dust rounds at the oncoming hoard of Grimm. But the large numbers of Grimm meant that they were slowly getting closer and closer towards Aodh. Even though he was holding them back for as long as he could slowly he was starting to run out of bullets. After several more minutes Aodh continue'd to fire until both revolvers ran out of bullets.
"Ah shit." With his last bullet spent Aodh transformed both weapons into there tanto forms and held both in a reverse grip. "Let's dance."
Charging at the hoard Aodh wasn't able to activate the dust within the blades but was still able to slice through each Grimm thanks to his semblance allowing him enough time to pick each critical point to attack.
Soon afterwards he heard a loud crashing sound behind him. In a panicked state Aodh thought the train broke through into Vale but he seen a Paladin instead. "How many of these did the White Fang steal!?"
But that lapse in concentration cost Aodh the last of his Aura as a Ursa slammed him against the Paladin. "It's designed to remove men from the dangers of the battlefield... I hope it works..." Aodh slowly got into the Paladin and activated it controls. But almost immediately he was caught in a struggle with a large King Taijitu.
The large Snake wrapped itself around the Paladin and began to crush it. Aodh fired back and the Grimm yelped out in pain but the beast flung the Paladin into the wall of the tunnel. Upon impact The back of Aodh's head was hit hard as he started to lose consciousness.
However before everything turned to black he heard a noise that he wished no one would ever here. The alarm of a Grimm invasion sounded off. The last thing Aodh knew before he lost consciousness was the fact that the Grimm had entered Vale.
(An hours later in Vale)
Having just sealed the tunnel off for good victory was not something that was on the mind of Ruby and Yang. Nor was it on the mind of many of the huntsmen and huntresses that recently fought when the Grimm invaded Vale. While they were happy Vale was safe an overwhelming feeling of sorrow and grief took over Ruby and Yang as Aodh there older cousin never returned and his whereabouts were still unknown.
"No..." Ruby softly cried as Yang tired to console her.
"That idiot." Yang tightly hugged her younger sister but she too couldn't hold back her tears.
Although she didn't show it Glynda was also saddened but she had to stay strong in front of the students. She calmly walked over to Dr Oobleck she hoped that her true feelings didn't show in her voice. "Would you be able to report what happened to Ozpin later this evening?" She slowly asked.
"... Yes. But first I think we must help the students and those injured." Dr Oobleck softly answered but he spotted someone walk towards the two teachers of Beacon Academy.
"Ohh Weiss thank goodness you're alright." Winter tightly hugged her younger sister. "I'm so proud of the way you fought."
"Thank you..." Weiss meekly and quietly thanked her sister as she her herself tried to hold back her tears.
"Why are you crying Weiss?" Winter asked with deep concern in her voice.
"Aodh is..." Weiss couldn't finish her sentence. Instead she looked at the rubble surrounding the area where the breach was. Then see seen Ruby and Yang crying near the rubble.
Winter then realized what Weiss meant. "Where's Aodh?" Winter asked with tears in her eyes.
Glynda Goodwitch heard the elder of the Schnee daughters and somehow managed to answer her question. "We honestly don't know... I'm so sorry Miss Schnee." Glynda regrettably answered
"No... No..." Winter softly sobbed in her hands as she fell to her knees. Weiss held on tightly to her sister as she cried in sorrow.
And Cut!

Now this will be the second last chapter for Volume 2 as well so we're more or less gonna be hitting Volume 3 soon. After the next chapter is posted i'll be taking a break over the holiday period and i hope to have a new chapter posted roughly midway through January. anyway let's get going with this chapter's Q&A!
1) Who would like to see Felix and Locus fight in a death battle that is from any anime series? Oh simple I want to see an all out gun fight. in this battler it's no armor just guns and knifes and I choose Revy and Eda from Black Lagoon. Now that's a gun fight we all wanna see!
2) Does Aodh know? That the bird is the word? Yes, of course he knows! (Honestly I had no idea how to answer this question. Seriously though Does Aodh know was the question... HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO ANSWER THAT!)
