Chapter 7: Hear our Battle Cries (Part 2)

Location: Emerald Forest, Vale Year: Unknown

We were about to head east towards a large temple in order to take down a 'Nevermore', as they called it, and Yang stood there, looking at Ruby as she took the lead.

Me and Blake notice this and Blake asked Yang, "What is it?"

I then looked towards Ruby and realized the reason. I then turned to Blake and said, "I think I know what it is."

"What do you mean?" Blake asked.

"Just look." I said as I pointed at Ruby.

Blake looked at Ruby and understood on what I meant and we both continued on with the others towards the temple.

We then finally arrived at the location and the temple itself looked almost completely intact. The Nevermore had followed us as we crossed the old stone bridge that connects the temple and the cliff side that leads towards the forest.

I then replaced my 'Survivalist's Rifle' with my 'AER14 Prototype' and started engaging the Nevermore while others do the same. Me, Ruby, Yang, Blake, and Weiss were further on the bridge while the others were closer to the cliff side.

I then turned in time to see the Nevermore flying towards us, as in into us.

"Oh, son of bi-" I was cut off as the Nevermore rammed into the bridge, destroying it in the process, and we were able to reach to safety, thanks to my jet-pack and the others have made already gotten out of the way. I then landed on top of a pillar and I was really, really pissed.

"OKAY! THAT'S IT! I HAD ENOUGH OF THAT OVERSIZE FUCKING BIRD!" I shouted in rage, which Ruby, Blake, Yang, and Weiss noticed.

"It looks like Edward is pissed off now." Yang said.

"NOW PREPARE TO FACE MY 'VENGEANCE', YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I shouted as I replaced my 'AER14 Prototype' with my 'Vengeance' Gatling Laser at unleash my rage upon the Nevermore.

Surprisingly, it was actually hurting the Nevermore, but barley though.

XXXXXXX

'RWBY 3rd POV...'

They watched in a surprised manner for a moment as Edward pulled out his 'Vengeance', which was laser-based weapon and he unleashed Hell upon the Nevermore.

Then Edward shouted to them, while still shooting, "THIS THING IS TOUGHER THAN IT LOOKS!"

Yang responded to him, "THEN LET'S HIT EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT!"

They all prepare themselves as the Nevermore, who was still being shot by Edward, flew towards them and they all began their assault upon it. But instead, the Nevermore was still unaffected by their attempts and it rammed into the structure that they were on.

XXXXXX

'Back to Edward...'

I saw the Nevermore ramming into the structure where the girls stood and all of them were making upward by their own means. I then noticed that Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora firing their weapons at the Nevermore from where they're at while Jaune watched, since he has no guns.

I then saw Ruby heading right to me and said, "Edward, I have a plan that I may need your help with."

"Alright, so what do you have in mind, Ruby?" I responded and asked.

"First, how high can you go with your jet-pack?" She asks.

"Well, I might be able to barley get up to that cliff up there before it has to recharge, why you asked?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

"How long for it to recharge?"

"Not too long but I have to wait a longer, 'cause it overheats." I answered.

Ruby then responded, "Okay, now I need you to get up to that cliff that is directly above that main structure..." She said as she pointed at the areas and continued, "...and wait there until I give the cue."

"What's the cue?" I asked.

"You'll know when it happens, and be ready grab and tear its head off." Ruby responded.

I nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get to it then."

She then left to join the others as I flew up to the cliff side directly above the main structure as Ruby told me and waited. I then saw Yang almost gotten eaten by the Nevermore and saw her blasting her shotgun gauntlets into its mouth before she jumped out.

Then the Nevermore crashed into the cliff side below me and landed on top of the structure. It gotten up and when it was about to take off, Weiss trapped its tail with ice and the thing struggle.

I then saw Blake, who was on top of a pillar, threw her sword and held onto the Blake ribbon of sorts and Yang caught it. Yang and Blake then secure it to both pillars and thought, 'A sling shot? Why wo-'.

I then realized what Ruby had planned out as I saw her using herself as a projectile and aimed herself at the Grimm. She then was launched by Weiss, who used some kind of spell of sorts, and more of her symbols appeared on the face of the cliff side upwards to where I was at and then Ruby did something so bad ass, it looked like it came from a action-packed comic book that I used to read when I was younger. She dragged the Nevermore upwards with her 'Cresent Rose' and she yelled to me, "NOW!"

I then flew up a little and let myself drop like a rock and took hold of its head, and used my weight while I wore my Power Armor, while at the same time, Ruby fired her weapon, which made a harsh recoil and resulted a clean decapitation. I then let go of its head and flew up to Ruby, who stood there at the cliff's edge, and landed beside her.

We then looked at each other and I said, "That was the most bad ass move I have ever saw that you made there, Ruby. You did an awesome job."

She then smiled and replied, "Thanks, Edd."

We then looked down towards the others and waved at them.

Ruby then asked me, "Uhm... should we start heading back to Beacon right now?"

"Well, we need to get down there first and right now, my jet-pack has gotten overheated and can't use it right now or else, it could explode. So that means we have to climb down now." I said to her.

"Ugh, dang it!" she responded.

I sighed as I shook my head and said, "Let's just get this over with, Ruby."

'To be Continued...'
