N204: Nah I'm good

AN: Anyway here is Ch 24 FINALLY.

Richard crashed onto the train, but with his hidden blade he was able to stay on. He slowly got up and made his way back to where the others were. "What'd I miss?" Richard asked as if ignoring the fact he just jumped onto a moving train.

"All right children, we must get to the front and stop this train," Oobleck told the five of them.

"Uhh professor," Weiss said with uncertainty.

"Doctor!" Oobleck corrected sternly.

"What's that?" Weiss said pointing into the interior of the cart they were stood upon. Dr. Oobleck looked down at the strange device inside the train.

"That my dear," he said as he took a knee, "appears to be a bomb." Every one took a step back from Oobleck's statement.

Ruby pointed towards the front of the train. "We've got baddies," she said. Everyone looked in the same direction and could see White Fang members slowly making their way towards them.

"Well I didn't expect them to go-" Oobleck was cut off from a powering-up sound that came from the bomb"-easy on us," he finished afterwards.

"Time to go," Oobleck said and everyone jumped to the next cart.

Blake jumped down to where the cars connected to detach it. She called up to Oobleck saying, "It decupled itself."

"I guess he really doesn't want us on this train," Yang said. Meanwhile Richard, Ruby, and Weiss checked the interior of the current cart they stood on. The cart that was decupled exploded behind them.

"That's not good," Oobleck said as Richard and the others found another bomb in their cart.

"Neither is this," Ruby called back.

"Another bomb!?" Blake questioned.

Oobleck ran past them mumbling, " no, no, no." He checked the next cart and called back to them, "they all have bombs!" The bomb in the current cart they were on made a powering up noise and began to beep, then the cart decupled.

"Move!" Richard ordered as they all ran and jumped to the next cart.

"This doesn't make sense!" Yang said. They all turned around to see the White Fang members making their way towards them. Yang swept the legs of a nearby member and punched him into the cart. Blake drew her sword and charged through some slashing them off the cart. Weiss used her dust and charged threw a larger group using ice shards to knock them off. Richard ran forward with his rope-dart in hand moving around the white fang members, dodging their attacks. Once he was passed a wave of them, he threw his rope-dart into the air and it caught onto an iron rafter above. The members looked down to see the other end of the rope-dart was tangled around their feet. Richard gave a mock-salute before they all shot off the train, hanging by their feet. Ruby blasted forward and used Crescent Rose to knock the rest of them off their feet.

"He's leading Grimm to the city!" Oobleck called to them from the back of the train.

"What!?" Weiss call back.

"It's the cars! They detach and explode creating openings for the Grimm!"

"That's insane!" Blake called out just as another car detached.

"We have to hurry, you four go below and try and stop those bombs."

"What about us?" Ruby questioned.

"We're going to stop this train," Oobleck said.

"Ya I know I said that earlier" Ruby stated. Everyone sprinted forward, Weiss, Yang, Blake, and Richard dropped down into the train cars.

"I guess this is what we trained for," Yang stated. Richard didn't get that Yang had just made a pun.

"Here this should help you," Weiss said handing Blake a dust round filled magazine. Blake loaded her Gambol Shroud with it and the four of them began to run through the cars. Before they could get out of the first car a stranger dropped down in front of them. She was short and had brown and pick hair and eyes. She held an umbrella to her side.

Blake, Weiss and Richard were about to draw their weapons when Yang stepped forward and said, "You three go on ahead, this one's mine." Richard could hear the anger in Yang's voice but didn't say anything; instead, he continued to run forward with Weiss and Blake. Yang fired a shot from her gauntlets causing the stranger to have to dodge and let them pass by. They managed to get through to the next cart with ease while leaving Yang behind.

Richard, Weiss, and Blake continued to run through the cars. Richard noticed a dark shadow moving across the floor towards them. As it grew closer Richard had his right hand ready to draw Chaos from its sheath. The shadow finally met them in the middle of the car and continued to move beneath them until it was behind them. That's when Richard drew Chaos and transformed it into its tomahawk mode, and turned to block the sneak attack. No doubt it was Cyrus trying to catch up to Richard, his tonfa where both out and he was going for him. Richard drew Shadow Striker in its sword form. "Keep going, I got this," he told Weiss and Blake. They continued to run to the next car leaving Cyrus and Richard to a one-on-one fight.

"So now you'll fight me?" Cyrus gladly asked.

"Unless you stand down, I have to," Richard answered.

"Then lets fight!" Cyrus said charging Richard.

He backstepped to dodge the initial attack and parried Cyrus's second swing with his sword. Richard raised his tomahawk to try and strike downward, but he disappeared, and reappeared behind him with a kick to Richard's back causing him to stumble forward to try and keep balance. He turned quickly to block both of Cyrus's tonfa with his own weapons. He threw Richard's weapons astray and kicked him back. Richard stumbled backward a bit; he looked at Cyrus swinging his tonfa around ready for another bout. Richard got into a mid-stance and waited for him to move. Cyrus charged with his right arm back ready to throw a punch at Richard. Richard moved into a low stance to dodge Cyrus's punch and swept his leg around to knock him off balance. Richard went for a cross strike, but he blocked both his sword and tomahawk and sent them up into the ceiling of the car. Richard activated he left hidden blade to compensate for his lack of weapons. Richard blocked each attack Cyrus had coming for him and even managed to parry Cyrus and knock him down on one knee. Richard took the opportunity and quickly used Cyrus's exposed knee as a boost and jumped up to grab his weapons stuck in the ceiling on his way down he tried to land a hit, but he disappeared once more causing Richard to stumble forward a bit. He looked all around the car for the shadow he would be hiding in. He couldn't find it in time and Cyrus reappeared behind him and kick behind his knee causing Richard to fall on his right knee. Cyrus grabbed Richard's head and placed his hidden Blade close to his neck. "I win," Cyrus said. Richard tried to pull away Cyrus's arm but could only slow it down a little as the blade grew closer to him. It almost touched Richard's neck if voice hadn't been heard.

"Hey!"

"What the-" Cyrus said turning around and being punched up to the ceiling by Yang. The impact seemed to knock him out as he stayed on the floor when he came crashing down. Meanwhile Richard was on his knees and hands gasping for air from Cyrus's hold. When he looked up he saw the blonde with her hand towards him. He grabbed it and she pulled him off the floor onto his feet.

"Thanks," Richard said to Yang.

The two of them continued to run through the train leaving behind an unconscious Cyrus. They got towards the front of the train when they found a way to the top of the train. They climbed up to see that Weiss, Blake and Ruby were there waiting. They all gathered near the front. They could see the end of the tracks. "What do we do?" Blake asked.

Weiss drew her rapier and stuck it into the trains ceiling and before Richard knew it they were surrounded in a barrier of Ice. They didn't stay in it for long as a huge explosion was heard and the barrier shattered. Richard's sight went out as well as his hearing. There were muffled sirens that he could hear and his sight came back to a large pile of rubble. He pushed himself up and could see Ruby getting up as well. She had a distressed look on her face. Richard turned to see that they were back in Vale and people looked at them in awe. Sudden rumbling was felt and from the hole that the train created emerged a large King Taijitu and a large amount of Grimm all began to terrorize the civilians inside the city.
