Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum do.
(City of Vale, Emerald Forest, 11:10AM, Monday.)
"This is as close to the security systems as I can get you, good luck, ma'am!"
The pilot yelled as Summer, Noir, Qrow and Raven dived out of the Bullhead and into the trees below as Noir caught and swung to the ground using a nearby branch to stop his fall as he fell onto the ground as Summer, Qrow and Raven rolled to the ground along with him.
"Let's move out, team STRQ,"
Summer ordered as Noir twirled Siva Darkness in his hand as they rushed into the forest as 3 dozen Beowolves rushed at them from the trees.
"Great, we get dropped into a nest of Grimm."
Noir weakly joked as he shot 4 of the Beowolves as Qrow and Raven cut another 8 in half.
Summer activated her semblance and sped through the horde, cutting down a dozen of the Grimm with Winter Thorn's sword form as she turned and roundhouse kicked a Beowolf into a tree, cracking it as she turned to Noir who reloaded Siva Darkness and transformed it into its sword form.
"Starting to realize why they sent us and not a group of soldiers."
Noir muttered as he cut another Beowolf in half and kicking another towards Qrow who easily stabbed through the Grimm as Noir slashed another Beowolf across the back before firing and using the recoil to cut the head off the Beowolf.
"Run away, you blasted mutts."
Noir hissed as the Beowolves gave a howl and the few remaining Grimm retreated into the trees as Noir cracked his neck and transformed Siva Darkness back into its revolver form.
"Let's get going, we have to find that machine and fix it."
Raven put in as team STRQ rushed deeper into the forest.
"Excellent work, students, I am impressed by your work so far!"
Professor Port yelled over the team's scrolls as Noir tripped down to the fear and landed on Summer as the two blushed.
"Uh…."
Noir said as Qrow laughed as looked at the two as they rolled away from each other.
"Do you two need a minute or something?"
Qrow asked as Noir glared as his partner as he rolled off Summer and helped her up.
"Professor Port? Professor Ozpin didn't say we'd be getting a chaperone on this mission."
Noir asked as the professor laughed over the scroll as Summer dusted her cloak off and stood up.
"I apologize for freighting you, my boy, Professor Ozpin thought it'd be prudent to have a veteran Huntsmen such as I watch over you and report back to him the status of your progress in the field assignment… Plus he doesn't wish you to be harmed, you all are still students of Beacon after all."
Port said with a chuckle as the teens rushed further into Emerald Forest as Raven and Qrow cut down a few Beowolves as another group leapt out of the trees.
"You guys get to the device, we're catch up in a minute."
Qrow said as he cracked his neck, Noir shot one of the Beowolves in the chest.
"There, made your job easier. Don't spend too much time with the groups of Grimm in the forest, Qrow…. We will wait up ahead for you two to catch up."
Noir said as he turned and rushed off away from the siblings as he pulled out his scroll as he ran.
"Professor Port, where is the security node that Professor Ozpin told us to fix?"
Noir asked as he turned and fired, killing a pursing Creep class Grimm as Summer transformed Winter Thorn into its glaive form and speared a Beowolf who leapt at her.
"Within the cave, Mr. Tama… But this area has become infested with Grimm… Which is strange, these devices were created to repel and study the Grimm."
Professor Port responded as Noir sliced a Beowolf in half with Siva Darkness's bladed revolver form as he shot another one in the head.
He could hear the sounds of gunfire as Qrow and Raven continued cutting through the Beowolves and Creeps attacking them as Noir and Summer shot another 4 Beowolves leaping at them.
"Professor Port, how many Grimm are in this area? I really don't want to waste every bullet I have on them right now."
Noir asked as he cut another Beowolf in half, shifting his weapon into its sword for as he did so.
"With the security system glitching, my boy, I don't know the exact number of Grimm that are rampaging throughout the forest…. But at the very least, we should be grateful that you and team FERN exterminated the last of the Alpha class Grimm within the Emerald Forest."
Port replied as Summer cut another Beowolf in half as she growled in annoyance and activated her semblance before rushing at the Grimm and cutting down a dozen Creeps and Beowolves before the rest retreated, whimpering as they did.
Neither Noir nor Summer herself noticed the flash of white that came from Summer's eyes as the Grimm retreated away from the duo, Summer slumped over in exhaustion as Noir began to walk over as he leaned down next to her to check on his team leader.
"I forgot how scary you are when you stop joking."
Noir teased as Summer smiled and lightly punched her friend in the stomach as Noir laughed as Qrow and Raven walked towards them, Noir could see that the duo had slain dozens of Beowolves and Creeps.
"What, you two taking a nap while we were gone?"
Qrow asked as Noir and Summer glared at him, Qrow looked back and forth between the two.
"Shut it… Qrow… We… Aren't in… The mood for jokes..."
Summer panted as Noir looked at his team leader with concern as she waved him off.
"I'll be fine… Just need to let my Aura recharge is all."
Summer said as she climbed to her feet, Noir standing up with her.
"The security node is just inside the cave, we need to cut down any Grimm in our way and turn the blasted thing back on so we can get out…. And I want to find out what is going on here."
Noir said as Summer turned to her team.
"Team STRQ, let's move."
