Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1080-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(City of Vale, Emerald Forest.)
"If the rest of these Grimm continue to attack us, I'm going to shoot them in the face!"
Noir hissed before he cut a Ursa minor in half with Siva Darkness as Summer leapt over a Beowolf as she cut it in half with Winter Thorn as she landed.
"At least the Grimm are backing off for now, Noir, we have another security node to save, Qrow, Raven, you guys ready to move on?"
Summer asked as she reloaded her weapon as Qrow and Raven finished off their group of Grimm with a furry of gunfire and sword slashes.
"As ready as we're ever be, I hope Ozpin is paying us as much as he says if we're going to mow down this many Grimm, makes you wonder why they don't send someone more seasoned or at least send in some actual soldiers."
Qrow put in as Raven sheathed her blade and sighed.
"Perhaps they are too weak to fight off these Grimm, I see no better explanation."
Raven put in as Summer, Qrow, and Noir glared at her, causing her to back off.
"Enough with the 'survival of the fittest' thing, Raven. No one else on Remnant agrees with that, Huntsmen protect the weak and fight to stop the Grimm, don't ever forget that."
Noir put in as Summer rested against a rock and pulled out her scroll as it rang.
"Ms. Rose, I've been hearing from the pilot that you and team STRQ are being hampered by the Grimm in Emerald Forest, am I correct?"
Ozpin asked as Noir staggered over, popping a fresh case of bullets into Siva Darkness as he did so.
"Yeah, every Grimm in the forest is trying to kill us, we're using as many bullets as your giving us."
Noir put in as Ozpin rubbed his chin before turning off to the side and speaking to someone, Noir and Summer guesses it was Ms. Goodwitch before Ozpin spun around to face the Huntsmen duo.
"Ms. Rose and Mr. Tama, myself and Ms. Goodwitch have decided that you should investigate another matter, we have investigated a symbol found on one of the crates you passed by before, it has been spotted in our former settlement, Mt. Glenn…. We wish for you to investigate it and we will offer the same reward we did for when you started your Emerald Forest mission."
Ozpin proposed as Qrow walked over, twirling his battle sword as he did so.
"What about Emerald Forest? You just going to let the Grimm rampage through the entire forest and then move onto Vale when they get done with here?"
Qrow asked as Ozpin chuckled as the sound of 2 Bullheads could be heard as one landed in the clearing STRQ was currently resting in as the other flew towards the other security node.
"We have sent a team you are quite familiar with, Team FERN is being sent to handle the final security node in our network, Mr. Branwen. Now, do you wish to investigate Mt. Glen a claim your prize or do you wish to return home to Beacon and relax and settle in for another week of classes and boring, mundane field trips?"
Ozpin asked as Qrow looked over to see Noir and Summer climbing onto the approaching Bullhead as he chuckled.
"As long as it means I don't have homework, sign me up, professor!"
Qrow yelled as he leapt onto the Bullhead as Raven sighed only to be cut off by a glare from her brother as she looked away in brief annoyance.
"The pilot is already informed of your destination and we have packed additional Dust and ammunition in case it is required for the trip, good hunting, Ms. Rose… And least, do keep Dr. Oobleck informed of your progress, we will be keeping a close on your progress."
Ozpin stated before signing off as the scroll went dark.
"I guess that means we have a few hours to relax, Mt. Glenn is miles away, I'm going to take a nap, partner, wake me up when we get there."
Qrow said as he passed out in his seat as Raven closed her eyes and let herself be pulled into a meditative trance as Noir looked at Summer and looked at Siva Darkness to make sure the weapon was fully ready for battle before he took a seat as Summer did the same, resting her weapon across her lap.
"I'm still wondering why Ozpin decided to just change our mission so suddenly, I think he's testing us for something… I just don't know entirely what it is yet, Summer."
Noir put in as Summer hummed as she checked Winter Thorn before putting the weapon away in a locker next to her as Noir cracked his neck before leaning into his seat.
"Yeah, it's pretty weird to just see him change our mission in a snap but if its connected to Junior and Roman and all that, I'm not as surprised as you are, those guys have worse plans brewing, they wouldn't need a cargo ship worth of Dust unless they were planning to either sell it or equip an army the size of Vale itself."
Summer put in, Noir nodded at her reasoning as he cracked his neck once more.
"Fighting getting to you, Noir?"
Summer asked as Noir sighed and shook his head.
"Nah, it's just, I really want to know how many bad guys we're have to fight before the school year is done, we've already fought a rising terrorist group and a crime lord, what can top that?"
Noir asked as Summer chuckled.
"Next we fight the cyborg Grimm and guys with robot arms, Noir, don't be silly, everyone knows that's the next step up from there."
Summer put in as Noir rolled his eyes and looked at her friend and teammate.
"Summer, I'm going to sleep, I need some rest before I shoot more Grimm, wake me up when we get to Mt. Glenn, deal?"
Noir asked as Summer hummed and nodded as Noir went to sleep.
