Chapter 43: Fight - Part 1
As soon as the leader had given the sign for the White Fang to attack, Blake and Yang had sprung into action as had all the others as well. Most students went up against unknown members whereas the both girls had decided that Mercury Black, the man who had fooled them all this time, would be their target.
Yang attacked first, fist aiming straight for his head, coming down with a battlecry before the gray-haired male dodged it and sprung to the side, the greaves on his feet firing off a round to give him some more momentum. Blake was there immediately, throwing Gambol Shroud at him, though intentionally missing him, only to pull the weapon back and fire off a few rounds. Unfortunately, he always managed to avoid them and got close enough to knock the weapon away, striking her in the stomach. Blake stumbled backwards, grabbing her stomach, feeling the bruise that would be there the next day.
Looking up, she saw that Yang was once again the one on the offensive, throwing punches and kicks at Mercury. But the man was good, always managing to block or parry her attacks, sending some of his own her way. A moment of carelessness was all he needed to connect his foot with the blonde's stomach, using his weapons to push her so that she flew a few feet before skidding on the ground.
"Yang!" Blake cried out, worried for her partner who remained motionless on the ground.
It was true that the blonde girl would get stronger with every hit, but even then she was still open to physical attacks. A Faunus wanted to take advantage of the busty girl's defenseless situation, but he had not taken into account her partner who promptly shot his leg before rushing over and knocking him out. Kneeling down, she lifted Yang's head, shaking it lightly to try and bring the girl back to consciousness.
"Yang, wake up! This is no time to faint!" she urged, slapping her cheek once. This seemed to do the trick and her partner regained her senses, opening her eyes and blinking a few times, then quickly getting up alongside Blake.
"Thanks," she said, reloading Ember Celica, her semblance firing up for the continuation of the fight.
"Are we done yet?" Mercury asked, lifting a brow while smirking at the two girls. "Or does the bimbo still need time to get ready?"
"Who're you calling bimbo?!" Yang yelled, eyes turning red.
"What? I'm just stating the truth," the male replied, the smirk widening and showing more and more his evil personality.
"You know, I've always had my suspicions about you Mercury, and now I have proof that they were correct."
"Oh? What gave me away?" he asked, curious how the blonde had figured out that he was not who he pretended to be. The girl seemed to be cleverer than she looked.
"Not much, but I got some help from someone so I was on the watch," Yang replied, a smirk now on her face as well. "Anyway, let's get on with the fight!" she declared, her aura exploding around her, looking as if it was fire.
"You're on!"
The both of them clashed again, guns against guns and fists against feet. They jumped around, dealing out and receiving blows, avoiding the attacks of the other one while trying to land a blow of their own. Blake looked for an opening, firing off a few rounds occasionally and interfering sometimes, backing up her partner, but she knew that Yang was more proficient in hand-to-hand combat and her semblance only aided her in that. So she continued to be the back up, trying to come up with a plan on how to defeat the boy and end this battle.
Yang sprung back, landing next to the cat Faunus, breathing heavily from the fight. Mercury was in no better shape and he grunted when touching his side, cursing himself for letting her hit him there. He had been too reckless, a fact Cinder had always warned him about.
"Yang, I got a plan," Blake muttered, keeping her golden eyes trained on their opponent that stood across from them. She noticed how he clutched his side and figured that Yang must have managed to land a decent hit on him.
Yang looked at Blake, breathing becoming more regularly. "What plan?"
"Listen; you'll continue to fight him as you did just now, try to keep him as focused as before. I'll use that time to catch him off-guard and use my semblance to knock him out or, if I don't manage to, create an opening for you," she explained.
"Okay."
Yang rushed forward again, a battle cry coming from her mouth into which she poured all her energy, kicking out her leg, Mercury blocking it with his arms. He threw it back and jumped up, intend on hitting her in the head, but she dodged and so the fight went on, Blake remaining in the background and waiting for her chance while the other fights raged on around them.
A/N: I do not own RWBY or its characters. I do, however, own my OC Serena and any other OCs that appear in this story.
I know, I know, not much of a fight scene, but they aren't really what I want to focus on, so I guess that the other scenes will be pretty much the same.
