Chapter 28: Firefight

Location: Kingdom of Vale Year: Unknown

We were now above ground, surrounded by Grimm, preparing for a fight. I had switched to my power armor and to my Avenger minigun, since I knew, this is going to be hell. With a roar from a King Taijitu, all the Grimm charged at us, and the others started to fight. With me, though, I stood my ground, mowing them down along with Ralphie, shooting his laser, and turning them into ash piles.

After a few moments, we saw Nora, flying through the air with her Magnhilde and pummeling a King Taijitu in the face.

Then the rest of Team JNPR came and Pyrrha shouted, "Let's move!"

I shouted to them, "Welcome to the party, ladies and gents!" while I mowed down more Grimm.

I then saw Jaune, killing an Ursa, with a bunch of swings. But then, the most ridiculous thing happened...

"Nobody move, Junior Detectives!" Sun shouted while holding out his badge.

Then Neptune joined in, "We have badges, so you know it's official."

I sighed and shouted towards them, "Now is not the fucking time, guys! Help us out!"

But then, the Atlas military came and started to assist, dropping off androids and mech suits into battle.

All was going so well, and then team CFVY came to assist, as well as Professor Port. All of them fought well, but that's when what Coco pulled out, shocked me. She pulls out a big-ass minigun, and started to mow the Grimm down.

I muttered in shock, "Jesus, remind my not to get on her bad side. I swear, all these people are scary, but I'm already used to it."

Then I saw a cluster of Grimm, then I had a great idea. I pulled out my Esther and fired. This caught everyone's attention when the mini nuke blew up. I then switched from my 'Esther' to my 'Cleansing Flame' and shouted, "Burn, baby!" then I started to roast the remaining Grimm stragglers.

After the entire fight, I switched back to my Desert Ranger Combat Armor, then I, along with Ralphie, met up with the teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY, along with Doctor Oobleck, Professor Port, Sun, Neptune, and Zwei. Then we noticed Glynda, who looks pissed as ever, started to reform everything back from before damage.

I started to chuckle and quoted, "Now THAT was a fight!"

Ralphie beeped in agreement, confusing some people as they looked upon him.

Then Pyrrha stated, "So, that's Ralphie, your old friend back from the Wasteland?"

I nodded and replied, "The one and only."

But then I saw that Emerald and Mercury was shoving Torchwick, but that doesn't mean I trust them. I will never trust them. But, for now, we celebrate and we rest.

XXXXXX

Later on in the day, back at Beacon Academy, we were resting on the side of a cliff.

"Well, we did it." Yang stated.

Blake repeated, "We did it."

I sighed in a way that I was tired, then commented, "I haven't been in that sort of battle, since either at Adams Air Force Base, back at the Capital and at Hoover Damn, in the Mojave. There were others like it, but goddamn, that was tough."

Ralphie beeped in agreement, then Blake commented, "Well, we're here, alive and well, right?"

I nodded and stated, "Yeah, but still, we need to catch the one who's actually is pulling the strings. I'm afraid Torchwick was a mere puppet."

Weiss asked, "Really, who's pulling the strings then?"

Ruby answered, "It's the same person who can control fire as her Semblance that we met on the same night when I met Edward for the first time. She's actually behind it all."

Then Yang stated, "Can we rest, for now? I really don't want to have to worry about it, at this moment."

"Sure." I answered.

After a moment of peaceful silence, Weiss stated, "If we don't get extra credit for that, I'm going to be seriously disappointed."

I sighed in disappointment and Yang replied, "Weiss, a two-headed snake literally crushed a bakery. I wouldn't count on it."

Then Ruby said, "Plus, I mean, we didn't solve everything. A lot of people were hurt, and we still don't know why they did this, or who that mystery girl was."

Then Weiss replied, "Well, not every story has a neat and tidy ending."

"Trust me, Weiss. This is just the beginning of all things. Like I always say, 'The End is where we Begin'."

To be Continued...

(Sorry if this was short, but I might add more to it later on, so... yeah. I also made a few changes in the more recent chapters, so make sure to skim through them. Besides that I hope you enjoy.)
