Guess who's back? Back again. Firestarter8635's back, tell a friend.
My dad's car broke down the other day. Boy was that a pain in the ass.
Onto le reviews.
REVIEWS:
ptl: I already have a great idea in mind for your OC. I just hope I don't mess it up.
Guest: Never said it was perfect. But good to know.
BraveSeeker3: Good. And yes, getting punched in the face really does make for a fun activity. Unless you're a masochist
Other guest: Don't worry, I'll change them just enough to be good characters.
Other other guest: Thanks for liking it. And while Violet can and will get emotional sometimes, she will usually be portrayed as real fucking Spartan, as you say.
Other other other guest: That's basically what I'm going to do.
And, so, with that out the way, onto le story.
"Violet, put me down, I can walk."
"Nope."
"Seriously, just put me down."
"Nope."
Wynne sighed in frustration, the source of her frustration stemming from the fact that Violet was currently carrying her bridal style. And she wasn't putting Wynne down.
"You're doing this just to piss me off, aren't you?" Wynne said to the redhead.
"Yup," Violet said without missing a beat.
Wynne sighed loudly again, and said, "Fuck you."
"And I love you too, Wynne," Violet replied with a small smile.
LINE BREAK
That symbol. It was oddly familiar to Axel, but he just couldn't place where he had seen it before. The symbol itself was three dog heads encased in a triangle on the left shoulder plate of the armor.
He took out his scroll and took a picture of it. Maybe Mato would had an idea of what it was.
Looking over the rest of the armor, he could see that it wasn't just armor, it was power armor, judging by all the motors and electronics in it. Which was very surprising. The only people he knew about that had power armor was the Valian military and from what he heard they were still developing it.
This situation was weird, weirder than what he liked. Here he was, waiting in the aftermath of a fight waiting for two women who seemed to have taken the wrong turn onto Shady Ave who fought an even shadier person in power armor.
And the only reason he went out in the first place was to get a damn sandwich.
Fucking bullshit would be how he described his day. Complete and utter fucking bullshit.
Music suddenly blasted from his scroll's speakers and Axel answered it, already knowing who it due to the track that played. "Hey, sis," he said into the scroll.
"Hey bro," a lazy feminine voice answered from the other side. "Where are you? You should've been back by now."
"Yeah, I know. I just got caught up in some bullshit.," Axel replied.
He heard a slight shuffling noise from the other side of the line. "Bullshit? What happened? Are you alright?" Mato asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
"I'm fine," Axel replied. He looked around at the carnage around him, then at the car parked in the middle of the road. "As for what happened, well, a big fight happened. And it's not just your average bar fight. These people were probably huntsman level, from what I can tell. I can't tell you all the details because I don't know them myself."
He heard a sigh from the other end and then even more shuffling. "Alright, where are you? I'm not just gonna leave you alone in a potentially dangerous situation," Mato said.
Axel sighed, then looked at street sign at the corner, and then said, "I'm in the warehouse district, on Harmony Street."
He heard the distinctive sound of Mato's modified Viper bike starting up, then she spoke into the scroll. "Alright, I'll meet you there," she said, and the call ended soon after.
He moved the scroll away from his head and then put it inside his pocket. And then, he waited.

"Soooooo, what are we going to do about the kid?" Violet asked Wynne, who had finally managed to get out of the surprisingly comfortable death trap that was Violet's arms.
"Well, he really doesn't know anything classified, so no need to make him sign any official documents and such. Honestly, this could be easily explained as huntsman business," Wynne said, looking down at the kid from the top of the building they were on.
Violet glanced at Wynne. "Really?" she said.
"You would not believe the kind of shit huntsman get into," Wynne said, remembering the time wh- nope.
"And what about the power armor?" Violet asked Wynne. She didn't think any kingdom had power armor, but she could be wrong.
"We say that we don't know," Wynne said shrugging. "Then we tell him that, even though he may be a huntsman-in-training, it's still too dangerous for him to be here, and to leave." Violet glanced at her, still unsure of the the plan, and Wynne sighed. "Look, it's the best I could come up with on such a short notice. If we need to, we'll improvise.
Violet opened her mouth to say something, then closed it when her enhanced ears pick up the sound of an engine, likely a motorcycle. "Someone's coming," she quickly told Wynne.
They both went quiet and listened as the sound got louder and louder until someone turned the corner two blocks away and sped towards the scene of the battle at a speed that was definitely faster than the speed limit. Violet and Wynne both tensed and watched her closely just in case the new arrival turned out to be hostile.
The motorcyclists stopped right next to Wynne's car and then took off her helmet, revealing a pair of long ass black pigtails and blue eyes. She took a glance around the area, and then shouted to the boy, who had by now started walking towards her, "Hey Axel! The hell happened over here?"
"I told you already, I don't know all the details," the boy, apparently named Axel, replied.
Wynne looked at Violet and said, "Well, let's right this up and go back," before jumping down, Violet only hesitating for a second before jumping down as well.
LINE BREAK
The two teens looked to their side as they heard two small thuds coming from their left to see two women standing up where they had presumably landed. Mato immediately reached for Seven Shots at her waist, but Axel grabbed her hand and shook his head no. He would rather not start a fight with these people, especially since his own weapon wasn't fully functional yet.
The blonde in front the two teens stopped forward, now looking slightly worse for wear Axel noted. The right side of her shirt was now ripped up in certain places, exposing a moderate amount of skin. She must've been hit with something bad.
The blonde looked Axel in the eye, and then said, "Who are you?"
Axel frowned a little bit, but still answered anyway. "I'm Axel Cunningham, and this is my sister, Mato Cunningham. We're students at Flare Academy."
The blonde nodded. "Flare, huh? Well, I'm Wynne D. Fanchon and this is Violet Wolf. We're both huntresses on a mission," she said, taking out her huntress ID and showing it to them. The redhead in the back stayed silent and unmoving.
"So, I'm guessing that what happened here is classified and you can't talk about it," Axel said, knowing full well that if a huntsman or huntress took a job inside the city, than it was probably something that they didn't want people to know about. Or just was highly illegal.
Either way, he didn't want to remain here with two people who could probably kill both him and Mato without breaking a sweat.
"Yup," the blonde said, popping the p. "So, it would really be appreciated if you could get out of here."
"Alright, we're leaving," Axel said, not really wanting to get involved with this situation any longer than he had to. He walked back to his bike, keeping an eye on the two females, watching for any sudden movements. Mato waited a moment longer, looking over the two women before turning around and walking towards her own bike.
They both turned their respective bikes on at the same time, Axel's Black Steel C03 being way louder than Mato's Ghost Viper, something that Axel liked.
Axel and Mato both shared one last glance before driving away.
Violet watched them go before looking at Wynne. "Hey Wynne," she said.
"Yeah," Wynne replied, glancing at her.
"Do you drive a bike or do you ride it?"
LINE BREAK
Ozpin did a double take as Wynne and Violet entered the safe house. Wynne's shirt was ripped up on her right side, and she had more than a few bruises there.
"Wynne are you alright?!" Osiris exclaimed in concern, immediately dashing over to her.
"I'm alright," Wynne said. "Aura took the brunt of the hit."
"What happened?" Ozpin questioned.
"Someone attacked us," Violet answered. "Dropped in right in front of us in some kind of power armor. Long story short, we destroyed the power armor, some random civilian kid got involved, and Wynne got shot by a dropship as she tried to stop the perpetrator from escaping."
"...Damn," Osiris said after a momentary silence.
"Yeah, damn," Violet said.
"Why didn't you call us?" Ozpin asked.
"Our scrolls were smashed, mine in the car crash with the goons, and Wynne's when she got hit," Violet said. She glanced around the room for a moment, realizing one important person was not there, then looked back at Ozpin. "Where's Jade?"
"She's sleeping in the back room," Ozpin said, nodding his head in the direction of the room.
"Alright, give me a few minutes," Violet said, walking towards the room Jade was sleeping in.

This chapter wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, but it'll have to do. I already rewrote it three times and I don't feel like rewriting it a fourth. So sorry if wasn't as good as the other chapters.
Feel free to point out any mistakes and things I could've done better.
Please review and shit.
