Taking in a few deep breaths Aodh turned around to see that Adam was gone. Along with the rest of the White Fang. With the adrenaline rush over the damage his body took from breathing out fire took effect as he violently begun coughing. His coughing alerted Winter that he was nearby.
"Aodh! Are you okay? Tell me." Winter asked.
Aodh reasured her by placing his hand on her shoulder and kissing her forehead. "I'm fine, thank you." Aodh then picked himself up and slowly he walked over towards Yang's severed arm. He picked up her arm and twisting her weapon he disconnected Ember Celica from the severed limb.
"We need to get out of here. I have a feeling more Grimm are going to be here soon."
Volume 3: Chapter 12: The Battle of Beacon Part 3
Arriving at the Docks in front of Beacon Aodh could see that both Professor Port and Dr Oobleck made it back safe and sound along with the majority of the students.
"That's it! Everybody on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!" Professor Port ordered to the remaining students.
"A safe zone has been established in Vale! Please, remain calm and listen to Atlas personnel!"
Winter however sees her younger sister and shouted out to her. "Weiss!"
"Winter! Thank goodness you're alright." Weiss softly spoke as she hugged her sister.
"I should be saying the same." Winter replied back.
Aodh then slowly walked over towards a crying Blake as she watched over Yang. Aodh softly held her the crying faunus' shoulder. "It's okay. Yang's still alive. And Adam won't be causing any more trouble for a while."
"But..."
"No buts Blake. You stood our ground and you didn't run away... You're actually starting to become a Huntress." Aodh tried his best to lift Blake mood but it didn't as she heard Weiss shout out her team leader's name.
"Ruby!"
"Oh, I found you!" Ruby hugged Weiss quickly before letting go.
"Ruby, where have you?" Weiss asked but was cut short by Ruby who quickly answered
"Don't worry, I'm fine! What's going on?" Ruby asked. Ruby then noticed Weiss couldn't look her in the eye. "Weiss what is it?"
Weiss didn't answer once more but instead stepped aside allowing Ruby to see both Blake and Yang. Blake teared up again as she looked at her young leader. "I'm so sorry Ruby..."
"Yang..."
Aodh then stood up an walked towards Ruby and held her tightly. "She's gonna be fine..."
"He's right the Atlas soldiers have a ship ready to take you guys to Vale." Sun spoke to the group as he walked over towards them.
"But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing." Nora cried out as she attempted to stand. But she quickly sats back down holding her injured side.
"What!?" Ruby and Aodh shouted out.
"Look guys, that giant Grimm is circling the school! Even the White Fang are pulling out! We all have to go, now!"
"We're not... leaving!" Ren groaned out as he too like Nora tried to stand but also fell back down due to his injuries.
"I'll find them... I'll find them, and I'll bring them back." Ruby stated.
"No you're not. You're getting on that Airship. This ain't for discussion as well." Aodh stared at Ruby as he spoke to her. "I'll be getting them."
"And you think you're going out there alone. Think again mister! I'm going with you." Winter angerly responded.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Aodh smiled as he and Winter ran off back towards Beacon.
After they were both out of site Ruby spoke up to the group. "I'm going after them."
"No! We'll go after them." Weiss backed up her partner before she look at Ren and Nora. "Watch after Blake and Yang. We'll be back."
Ruby and Weiss then ran after Aodh and Winter back into Beacon Academy, while Sun watches them go.
"You better be! Idiots."
(Aodh and Winter)
"Any idea where about those two students of yours could be?" Winter asked in hope.
"Not a clue but I am not leaving without them." Aodh responded as the pair ran into a large group of Grimm.
Winter created several of her own white Grimm as they moved to attack there own counterparts. Aodh then pulled out his only remaining weapon his fire dust coated Gladius. Swinging the blade outwards he activated the blades dust and the flames bursted forwards cut through both Winter's Grimm and the Grimm as well.
A shot then fired out past Aodh and Winter and instantly killed a Ursa instantly. "What was that?" Aodh asked before he turned around and seen Ruby and Weiss.
"What are you two doing here?!" An angered Winter asked.
"We're your backup." Ruby and Weiss both answered at the same time. Aodh wanted to be angry but he knew the more people grouped together against this large amount of Grimm would be needed.
But as he moved forward they all witnessed the large Grimm Dragon smash into the top of Beacon's tower destroying it. "We need to move quickly NOW!"
(Pyrrha)
Pyrrha rolled out of the way as two streams of fire that Cinder sent her way. She attempted to block a third but the force of the attack sent Pyrrha tumbling backward. The floor then for a moment caught fire while Pyrrha rolled back to her feet.
From behind the wall of flame Pyrrha threw her shield at Cinder who confidently backhanded it away. She then looks up in surprise to see a multitude of giant clock cogs floating in the air around her. Using her polarity semblance Pyrrha pulled her shield back to knock away Cinder's feet. Falling back onto the ground cinder seen the gasped as the large cogs slammed into her stomach pinning her into the ground.
Pyrrha called back her shield to her arm and brought down the rest of the giant clock cogs piling them on top of Cinder. However Cinder quickly blasted them away with a powerful burst of fire sending them all in different directions. One of the cogs flew toward Pyrrha. Raising her shield to block the force of the impact slams her into the remains of a wall, taking away the last of her aura.
(AWRW)
Weiss suddenly stopped running and pulled out her scroll. "It's Jaune!" The group then stopped as Weiss answered her scroll. She decided to put Jaune on a loud speaker. "Where are you?"
"Weiss! Please, you have to stop her!"
"What!?" Weiss asked confused with Jaune's statement.
"Who are we stopping Jaune?" Ruby asked.
"Pyrrha! She's going after that woman at the top of the tower! She doesn't stand a chance!"
"Cinder..." Aodh softly growled but no one picked up what he said.
"Jaune, what are you talking about!? Where are you?" Weiss asked
"Don't worry about me! Please, you have to save Pyrrha."
"We will. Are you okay? Where are you?" Weiss asked but the line disconnected.
The group then looked at the top of the destroyed tower. "Stay here I'll be right back!" Aodh stated out before he suddenly vanished.
"Wait!" Winter shouted out but Aodh was already gone.
"What do we do?" Weiss asked in hope.
Ruby looked up towards the top of the tower knowing Aodh would be up there. "I have a plan."
Weiss smirked as she drew Myrtenaster to her side "You always do."
(Pyrrha)
Cinder formed a bow in her hands and drew back before firing an obsidian arrow towards Pyrrha. Pyrrha threw her shield to redirect the arrow but the arrow shattered upon impact with the shield.
However as the fragments part ways above and below the shield they glow orange and rejoin each other on the other side. The fragments melt back into the shape of the arrow and hits Pyrrha's ankle. Pyrrha yelled out in pain as she collapsed in pain. She tries to pull out the arrow but it breaks apart leaving the obsidian in her ankle.
She turned around to face Cinder but found the Fall Maiden in front of her. "It's unfortunate you were promised a power that was never truly yours."
Cinder knelt down as she lifted Pyrrha's chin. "But take comfort in knowing that I will use it in ways you could never have imagined."
Pyrrha pushed cinder's hand away as she stared right back into her eyes. "Do you believe in destiny?"
Cinder frowned as she narrowed her eyes before responding. "Yes." Cinder then stood up and reformed her bow and single arrow.
She fired another arrow but it never hit Pyrrha. It was caught. "You will not cause any more harm to my students."
Cinder slowly started to back away as she seen who had caught her arrow. "You're... You're alive!?"
"Yes and I'm ending you tonight." A red eyed Aodh stated as he rushed towards Cinder.
Cinder created two curved blades to try and defend herself but Aodh vanished from sight. However a sudden pain rushed through her body from behind. Before she could react Aodh re-appeared in front her kicking her back onto the remains of the elevator.
As Cinder began to fall she was stopped as Aodh gripped tightly onto her throat. "Is that all you got?" Aodh growled out as he asked.
With her frustration growing Cinder send a blast wave of fire out from her body pushing Aodh back. "STOP GETTING IN MY WAY!" Cinder roared out.
But Aodh continue'd his onslaught as he swiped away Cinder's feet. She fell hard, face first onto the ground. Aodh then planted his foot on her back and pulled Cinder's hair causing her to yell out in pain. Aodh then slowly started to bend Cinder's back as he pulled her head up.
"You're going to suffer before I finish you off." Aodh spoke onto Cinder's ear.
"If you're going to make me suffer... Then I'll do the same to you." Cinder quickly created a bow and fired off one arrow. The arrow fired off towards a still injured Pyrrha. Not wanting to see his student's killed Aodh let go of Cinder's hair and jumped in front of the arrow taking the blow.
(Ruby, Winter and Weiss)
On the ground below, Ruby, Winter and Weiss continue'd to fight off the oncoming Grimm.
"We've have gotta hurry!"
Weiss looks around for a moment and spoke out to Winter. "Winter I need your help."
Winter turned around and seen Weiss as pointing at the tower. "Okay."
The two Schnee sisters the cast several glyphs leading up the side of the tower.
"Go."
"You can do this." Weiss reassured Ruby before the young leader used her semblance to sprint up Beacon's tower.
(Aodh and Pyrrha)
Gasping in pain Aodh hoped the arrow missed an organ but he fell to his knee in pain. Unable to get back up he seen a smirk on Cinder's face as she fired several more arrows to Aodh's chest.
With each arrow that sunk into his cheat Aodh gasped outwards in pain. His breathing became heavier with each gasp. Aodh's eyes became heavier as cinder walked past him and pulled Pyhrra in front of him.
"Time to say goodbye to your student."
As Cinder let go of Pyrrha, Aodh slowly fell over to his side. His eyes kept staring at Cinder as she fired point blank into Pyrrha's back. The arrow pierced through cheat clean through leaving a small hole on her chest.
As Pyrrha gasped for breath Ruby landed at the top of the tower. She looked around and found Aodh lying motionless on the ground with several arrows in his chest.
Her silver eyes then turned towards Pyrrha who upon Cinder touching her head was incinerated. Only Pyrrha's headdress remained as Cinder dropped it to the ground. Aodh somehow got the energy to pull
"NNNOOOOOOOOO!"
"What?!" Cinder shouted in shock as she covered her eyes from a bright white light.
And Cut!
So hopefully I should be able to get the next two chapters posted up her quickly. I know this might seem a short chapter but the next two will have alot of dialog so they will be wordy to say the least lol.
Oh and before I post the next chapter Aodh will be getting a new weapon. I have an idea in mind but if anyone wanted to throw in a few suggestions i'd be more than happy to listen and if it's a good enough idea i might put it in with either Aodh using it or an OC character for Volume 4/5.
Welp that all for this chapter not many questions for Q&A but let's get rolling.
1) Will you make Pyrrha and Aodh fight together against Cinder? As seen in this chapter I didn't simple reason for that is the fight between Pyrrha and Cinder was perfect and any extras added i felt would ave ruined it.
2) Can Pyrrha live after fighting Cinder? Sorry but no. the reason for this is that Pyrrha's death in a major turning point in the series. It had to happen. I know I hated it as well. Just when it happened with Jaune and Pyrrha it was taken away. :(
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time
