-Pyrrha-
"EVERYONE UP, GRIMM COMING!" Pyrrha heard Jaune yell.
After a moment of thought Pyrrha suddenly realized the situation. She sprung out of bed, grabbing her spear she rolled through the flap of her tent switching her spear into its rifle form. She ended the roll in a kneeling position, adrenaline pumping through her vains, she made a quick sweep of the perimeter and saw the Grimm. 8 Death stalkers were charging across the field coming from the red forest with a pack of Beowolves in tail.
"Oh no" She thought
Pyrrha saw the rest of the group burst out of their tents. Kai pulling on his cloak, Ruby unleashing cresent rose, Ren loading his pistols with Nora right begind him, Weiss spun her rapiers dust socket, Blake was already standing outside the camp, and Yang extended her ember cilica. The 7 ran up to Jaune and Blake.
"What now?" Blake asked
Jaune was forced to take command again.
"Uhhh...I need each team to fight 4 Deathstalkers!" The Boy yelled.
"What about me" Kai asked as he pulled his hood over his head.
"Beowolves, kill them and help the teams after." Ruby said
"Agreed" Jaune aproved "Lets go team!" He yelled
The two teams split up, team RWBY shot projectile after projectile to get the attention of half the horde of grimm while team JNPR ran to the right firing bullets off into the field, the lone man darted through the gap that had just been created to strike at the pack of beowolves. Bracing themselves
the teams held their ground as the deathstalkers advanced.
The Deathstalkers began to encircle the teams. They covered all escape routes with their huge claws, stingers ready to strike. One lunged its stinger at Ren. He jumped, Flipping he fired a volley of shots at the unarmored ligament connecting the stinger to the tail nearly cutting right through it. As he landed he ran out of ammo. Now Pyrrhas opponent advanced. It struck with a sidways claw swipe which she jumped over easily landing, quickly forming a defensive stance and let the other claw slide of her shield and then countering with a slash as quick as light. Finally the scourpion like creature struck with its stinger it hit the ground, digging in, but before it could pull its stinger out Pyrrha slammed it farther into the ground with her shield, burying it in the dirt. Now she sawed through the stingers connection with its Tail. The creature Roured in pain and carelessly swept at Pyrrha with its claws. She dodged and blocked with the occasional swing of her spear. Finally an opening, the Deathstalker swung inward with both claws, she jumped and let them collide under her, then she landed on them and jumped to the back of the creature, she shoved her spear between the plates of armor on the grimms back, it shivered and cried out as its final breath came.
Retreaving her spear she essesed the situation, Jaune had cut the stinger and a claw off his opponent, he now was stabbing its eyes. Ren was finishing off his large enemy. Nora had cracked her unlucky grimms armor at its head, she was now working at its soft flesh, nearing her kill. In a matter of seconds the deathstalkers were dead. Now looking at Team RWBY they were just cutting down their opponents. Although someone was lying down on the ground... Red blood mixed with white.
-Kai-
He struck down his upteenth round of Beowolves, Blood trickled from his forearm but even more gushed from his enemy's bodys. The Beowolves kept coming and coming from the damned red forest.
"HIAGH" Kai bellowed as he sliced the limbs, heads, and bodys of his enemys into peices with his weapons katana form. He caught a chance to take a look at his allies. JNPR had drawn the smaller sized Deathstalkers to them, not on purpose but luck of the draw he supposed. Team RWBY had just killed their first enemy, the smallest Deathstalker. Weiss had finished it off and then charged to Yangs side fore she faced the largest enemy. *SMACK* he heard from across the field, Weiss went down.
"Oh god..." Kai said as he heard growling
Wirling around he countered a lunging beowolve with a hit with his staff. Now fighting against more grimm he had to take his mind of the other teams, beowolves were first objective.
"YAA!" kai cried as he finished off even more of the wolfes.
"God damm you guys don't give up easy!" He taunted as even more confronted him.
He slashed and hacked, twisted and dodged, and yelles his way through almost countless enemies.
Then he hears Yang yell his name. "KAI WE NEED YOU!"
He wirled around after finishing off his opponent, he saw Weiss in a bloody rag of a dress being somewhat healed by Jaune.
"On it" he prodjected
The distance was to much if he wanted to get to Weiss in time to save her. He had to do it.
Pushing his hands together he began an ancient art. He took control of his aura making a barrier around him, the dark purple color then collapsed in on him and reappeared right next to the group nearly 200 yards away from his original possition. He ran to the aid of his commrade, doing a quick evaluation he saw her pupils were dilated, a large pool of blood under her.
"STEP BACK!" He yelled as the remaining 6 made a protective circle around Jaune, Kai, And Weiss.
Kais aura formed a beam singing the wound closed. Now he knew their was internal bleading but he had a solution. Quickly he made a sphere with his aura.
"Jaune focus your aura into this ball now!" Kai ordered.
"But I..."
"Do it! Try!" Kai said
Focusing Jaune projected his aura in ways he didn't know how he did, making the sphere a very light purple. Now Kai plunged the sphere into Weiss's middreth sweeping it back and forth through Weiss's body, down each leg, each arm, and her neck. After an agonizingly long 10 minutes Kai did a quick check of her vitals and then tried reducing the scaring for Weiss's stomach area. He passed out.
-Jaune-
*Thud*
Kai fell over on his side, his breaths shallow. Weiss layed covered in blood and clothes torn.
*click click*
"Oh no the deathstalkers!" Jaune yelled
Jaunes teamates had already tried fighting the last 3 beasts. Their bodys flung various places but they all were squirming or moving somehow. The last of the deathstalkers ran at the last man standing.
"Oh man oh man! Why me!" Jaune began to panic.
The first grimm lunged at him but Jaune backed up and dodged.
"No..." he said as the beowolves neared his teammates.
"NO YOU WONT TAKE THEM" he screamed "HHHHHHEEEAAAHH" Jaune shouted as he charged the deathstalkers. A hand grabbed him. It was kai.
"STOP" he said, kais voice boomed and echoed. Literally.
His Aura pulsed out of him, determination in every feature of his body.
He began floating into the air. The grimm stared in awe as kai began chanting a forgotten language. Runes and symbols lost in time circled him. His body began disintegrating
"Goodbye" were his last words.
-Blake-
*BOOM*
Blake awoke to a huge wave of power that knocked her from a tree she obviously was thrown on. She fell down to the ground which was about 5 feet away. Lading on her feet she then fell to her left.
"Ahg!" she exclaimed
Looking down their was a large gash down her leg, ripping her leggings, a small trickle of blood pulsed out of the open wound. Slowly she began standing again. Searing pain shot through her leg but she worked through it. She began limping to the clearing. Moving out of th e brush she saw a sight. There were chared corpses of grimm everywere. Jaune stood in the middle at his knees her teamates were around just collecting themselves. She limped over to Jaune.
"Juane...what happened?" She asked
"No...no...why...why him" he mumbled
"Jaune?" She said a bit worried
Tears rolling down his face he answered "he...he sacrificed himself for us... he he... saved us...and he... he turned to dust after." Jaune whispered as he sobbed.
"Oh god" Blake gasped
'Kai was a good kid. From what I saw of him he was great. A great, great, great person... and now he's gone.' Blake thought, Knealing a memory came back. She was at her old fighting class. The setion had just ended and she was walking back to her home, book in hand even In the darkness she read. She walked past that old creepy alleyway like in many movies a man lunged at the lone girl and she would never be seen again. This didnt happen to blake, she had been grabbed by a huge figure and was pulled to her knee's, her training kicked in but ir didn't help. She was about to be dragged into the darkness even though she fought her hardest, her novice education wasn't enough. Suddenly someone dropped behind the man who was taking her away, his face unreadable, covered by a hood. Dark purple lighting up the darkness. The man was knocked out in seconds, flat on his face. Her savior said one word...
"Run" he had said
And she did she ran all the way home not stopping for anything. Her savior, he had saved her twice.
-Ren-
Ren came to consciousness. The fact that he wasn't dead astonished him, he was sure it was his last fight. Smoke pillared up from were he had been launched from, he began to walk towards it wanting to know what had become of his peers... no his friends. He came apon a huge circle of blackened ground Jaune knealing in the middle, Blake crying silently next to him. Pyrrha tried to comfort them, Ruby was holding Yang... she was a mess, her hair ascew, face covered in tears as she cried, dirtied from head to toe.
Nora and Weiss sat outside the chared ground, sodden faces. Where was Kai?
Slowly fiting pieces together he figured it out. Kai had forced his life into aura to save everyone. He had sacrificed everything to keep them alive, he saved them. Awe struck he stood for minutes taking it all in. Finally he walked to Nora.
"Hey" she said. For once she sounded unexcited and... sad.
"Hey" Ren replied sitting down next to her.
"We lost Ren" Nora said
"What do you mean?" He questi oned
"Kai's dead. This was supposed to be easy. Remember as the days go on the hordes get stronger. Well its our first horde and we already had someone killed. We lost" Nora said dejectedly, almost depressed
"Nora...the loss of a man to save others is like a blessing. Never give up hope for the people who saw a way. Don't leave us, don't lose hope, we can still come up on top. Were a team remember?" Ren encouraged.
"Yeah...but Jaune and Yang are out of it..."she countered
"They'll come around. They have to." He said firmly
Hours passed as no one moved. Yangs sobs had slowed to whimpers. Jaune layed in a fetal possition with Pyrrha snuggled next to him. Blake meditated? She never did that to his knowledge. Ruby and Weiss had fallen asleep even if Weiss was blood stained from head to toe, they seemed to have fallen on eachother for warmth. Subconciously no dought. He and Nora just watched deep in thought. The sound of engines broke the heavy silence.
-Jaune-
Deep in remorse and regret, saddness and depresion, greatfulness and horrid reality Jaune grieved. His silent vigalence was cut short by the sound of engines. He looked up into the evening sky and saw the small transport airship unlike the one they came apon this on was small and agile. It desended a good 20 yards away from them. Jaune picked himself up and called for everyone to get up and follow him. Wether they did or not didn't bother him. He walked to the supply plane. The back ramp dropped and out came a slender person who also rolled out a large crate half as tall as her, she stood as the ramp closed and the ship flew away. 'I guess she's here to stay' Jaune thought he walked to the waiting figure with what seemed like 4 people behind him. He finally reached the crate and... person?
"Uhh...hi!" The figure said in a very heavy british accent.
"Hey" Jaune replied
"Uhm... I'm Velvet...pleased to meet you all." She said with a smile
"I'm Jaune" he said without returning the smile.
"Uhm... sorry...Vevlet you may have joined us at a bad time... I'm Blake" Blake said trying to be kind to Velvet.
Jaune just picked up the crate and walked to the camp. Pyrrha right behind.
Jaune heard Blake, Nora and Ren continue to talk to Velvet as he took the supplies to the camp. Pyrrha helped him with the crate. As they entered the camp the two set the crate down.
"You know Jaune I don't want you to feel alone... can you talk to me...please?" Pyrrha pleaded suddenly
He let out a audible sigh of relief and turned around and quickly embraced Pyrrha who hugged back.
"I just want to spend some time with you. That's all I need right now." Jaune said.
They walked quickly hand in hand to the hill next to camp. They layed down next to eachother, Pyrrha's head resting on his chest. Gazing up at the slowly forming stars as the others slowly recovered enough to move back to camp or to cry the night away.
