Chapter 44: Fight - Part II

Immediately as the fight had started, Raven had attacked Spike, noticing that Adam and the girl were going up against Cinder. She had figured that the bull Faunus had a score to settle with the woman and decided that she could at least keep his back free from Spike.

Drawing her long blade, she rushed forward and attacked the man, but he noticed her in time and grabbed the hammer that he had brought with him as his weapon and knocked the sharp blade away from him. She quickly recovered, jumped over him and attacked again, but it resulted in the same way. He struck her with the hammer, and Raven quickly brought up her sword to protect herself, but the force of the blow made her skid back several feet. Regaining her balance, she positioned herself in a position to attack again while Spike rested his weapon on his shoulder.

"I didn't think that you would go against me as well," he said, eyeing her with contempt.

"Well, I've got better things to do than follow some megalomaniac," she replied.

"Hah, and what could that be?" The buffalo Faunus snorted arrogantly and gave a wicked grin, cocking his eyebrow in challenge.

"For one, I have a family to protect, unlike you."

The man seemed to snap at that and rushed forward, swinging his hammer at her in an attempt to knock her over. Raven evaded each of his hits, careful to not bump into one of the other fighters that were around her while still keeping an eye on her opponent. She could tell that he was starting to lose control of not only himself, but also of the battle. It would only be a matter of time until he became imprudent and that would be her chance to take him out.

One moment she quickly glanced over to her sister Yang to see how she and her partner were faring, but that one moment granted Spike an opportunity that he had been waiting for. He swung the hammer with more force than before and send her flying backwards. Raven crashed into one of the teachers from Beacon, a man with green hair and glasses. He was startled by her sudden crash into him, but diverted his attention back to his own fight quickly.

"Are you alright miss?" he asked quickly, glancing at her.

"Yeah, sorry about that," she said, nodding in thanks as he grabbed her arm and heaved her up. He nodded back and each got back to their fight.

A few feet away from the ongoing fight between the ex-member of the White Fang and its leader, Weiss was battling against Emerald. The green-haired thief had attacked the heiress immediately since Weiss had intended to also fight against Cinder. So, being the good follower she was, she had intercepted the Schnee and was now shooting her guns at the girl.

Weiss quickly used her Dust Rapier and put up an ice shield, taking cover behind it. When the fire ceased, she jumped up from behind it and used her Semblance to propel herself forward. Emerald avoided her and resumed shooting, Weiss using dust to send out ice that would intercept the bullets before they could make contact with her.

This annoyed Emerald and she ran forward, engaging her in a hand-to-hand combat. She was better in this than Weiss was and the heiress noticed this. A kick to the side made her stumble backwards and knocked the air out of her. Emerald followed suit and used her sickles to cut the girl on the arms and legs, kicking her again and making her fall to the ground. She walked up to the girl with an arrogant grin, twirling her weapons in her hands.

"Honestly, I though that the heiress of the Schnee Company would put up more of a fight. Or is the princess not used to getting her hands dirty?" she asked.

Narrowing her blue eyes, Weiss replied with venom, "I am not a princess. And if you think I'm done already then you are wrong."

"Oh, did I anger her majesty?"

"You'll see what you've done," she replied, jumping back to her feet and sending out an attack using dust. The green-haired girl countered this however and soon they were back in the battle that they had been in before.

I am so sorry that this chapter is so short, but the next ones will be the really important ones so I don't want to dwell too long on these fights. So please don't be mad and look forward to the next chapters where there will be a lot of change happening.
