With RWBY POV
"Woahdidyaseewhatthatguydid!Itwasamazinghejustchargedstraightintothosebeowolvesandknockedthemdownlikebolwingpins!", Ruby exclaimed while waving her arms excitedly.
"I'll admit", started Blake "I wasn't expecting that sort of attack."
"That must be his semblance. The ability to speed up instantly like Ruby", Weiss said thoughtfully.
The others agreed while deciding how to interact with the new arrivals. They also discussed the appearance of another being, also clad in a suit that enveloped their body that also had gold adornments.
"So that must be his friend or huntress teammate or something.", Yang whispered.
"Let's go approach them then", Ruby began to get up while the others tried to make her stop when all of the sudden they all heard a disembodied, synthesized, but distinctly female voice say in a menacing tone "Just what do you think you're doing spying on a tenno?"
Team RWBY startled by the sudden voice began to frantically search for the speaker until the voice said "Oh don't try to find me, i'm invisible after all, anyways make your way towards the clearing where our ships are, the other is waiting for you there, and don't try any funny business or else…" An arrow with a steel shaft and a bright gold tip suddenly materialized impaled right next to Ruby's face close to an inch from actually touching it. Ruby suppressed a scream with her hand as the rest of team RWBY slowly began to move towards the clearing.
They found the other unknown pointing a four-barreled shotgun at them."Please tell me", he began "just what did you think you would accomplish by spying on 2 tenno?"
With Pan POV
'They look like children.', he thought. 'Yeah children with dangerous weapons that they shouldn't be using', added Shiki via their neural link that allowed tenno to communicate with squad mates without having to say anything.
There were 4 of them, each one having a clearly dominant color on their outfit. Red, white, black, and yellow were what they were designated by.
"So why were you lot spying on us?", Pan asked curious of the answer these strangely dressed teens would give.
"We were sent by the headmaster of our school, Beacon, to identify the source of a disturbance in Emerald Forest which is where are right now.", replied White in a stately manner.
"Y-yeah what she said!", added in Red while shaking her head nervously and frantically, the image of the arrow near her head most likely still fresh in her mind.
White and Black nodded in agreement, but Yellow seemed to be trying to stare them down with her lilac colored eyes which would change to an almost blood red color periodically.
'Wonder what's going on with her', Pan thought carefully.
A brief silence ensued with neither party saying a word, until Red spoke up.
With RWBY POV
"So what are you guys doing in Emerald Forest?"
The 2 unknowns looked at each other, looking like that they were having an almost silent conversation before the male one replied "We were on our way to a mission when our ships malfunctioned and crashed here."
"Mission?", Blake asked suspiciously.
"Yes,", the female began, "Our leader sent us on a mission, but we crash landed here as my comrade said."
"What was the mission?"
" We weren't told what the mission was, we were going to be told what our objective was when we reached our staging area."
"Wait ,so there are more of you?"
Both of them looked at each other again for a few seconds before they both replied "There were." with a sense of finality in the answer as if that's all that they were going to say about that issue.
"Actually," began one of the male, "could you take us to this school so we can see your headmaster? I believe that there would be much to discuss relating to this issue."
"Okay team huddle up.", Ruby said, and Team RWBY got together in a circle and began whispering to each other about how to deal with the request. They decided as a group that they would take them to Beacon Academy to see the headmaster.
"So we'll take you to Beacon, but you can't do whatever you did against those grimm at Beacon okay?", Ruby stated giving them the best puppy dog eyes she could in an effort to coax them into not being suspicious. The unknowns nodded in the positive.
Weiss pulled out her scroll and began to call the headmaster.
"Yes Weiss is there something to report about the disturbance in the Emerald Forest?", Ozpin asked curiously while sipping his coffee. "There is headmaster, we discovered a crash site of 4 ships and found 2 hunters that survived the crash that want to speak to you regarding their current situation.", Weiss replied. "Of course, I'll send a Bullhead as soon as we can. Expect it to be there in about 15 minutes. Report if anything else new happens." and with that Ozpin cut the connection to Weiss' scroll.
So they waited for the bullhead to arrive at the site.
The bullhead arrived soon after the call and Team RWBY and the unknowns boarded the ship to head to Beacon.
With Pan and Shiki POV
'Kinda reminds me of our lisets if they were loud and had openable windows', Pan joked. Shiki suppressed a giggle before saying in a worried tone 'Speaking of which… how exactly are we going to repair them? I mean it's not like these humans have any spare orokin cells lying around'
Pan mentally shrugged before replying 'We'll have to scuttle mine and yours, but i did check at least the exteriors of Jameson's and Bianca's lisets and they still look flyable, so we'll probably have to use spare parts from ours to fix whatever problems there may be in those, but only Jameson can do that.'
Shiki agreed with this and began looking out to the world that they crashed onto. She noticed how peaceful and quiet it was. Her shoulders visibly sagged as memories of fighting the Grineer on Earth surfaced which in comparison to this seemed so much more alien. She looked up to the planet's fragmented moon and felt a sort of familiarity emanating from as if she had been there before but couldn't exactly remember when. Her train of thought was shattered by a sudden screech of a giant,black as night bird donning a white bone mask similar to the ones that were dissolving near her liset.
"Nevermore!", yelled Red as a look of determination took place as she stepped closer to the edge of the airship and put out her rather large metallic red box in front of her and pressed a trigger.
What happened next surprised both Shiki and Pan as the box transformed, expanding into a rifle with a scope at close to the front and a bolt on right side. Red began to fire at the Nevermore hoping to get it away from the airship, but her rounds did little damage, only angering the nevermore. With its' eyes glowing with hate, the nevermore began to hover around the airship as the pilot began to use evasive maneuvers to dodge the razor sharp feathers that were being launched by the Grimm with every flap of its' wings. Some of the feathers came close to striking Red, but Pan activated Iron Skin, covering his warframe with a hard golden layer of ferrite armor, and moved in front of Ruby with his back to the nevermore.
With RWBY POV
Ruby's expression turned to one of surprise as the male unknown moved in front of her, his armor covered in gold from head to toe, took the full force of the feathers straight into his back. He moved slightly forward due to the momentum but was mostly unaffected.
"You need to be more careful young miss.", he deadpanned as he moved aside for Ruby to allow her to fire back at the Nevermore.
"Thanks, I owe you one.", Ruby said gratefully, while Yang moved to her to check if she was unharmed, a look of worry evident on her face.
"Are you okay Ruby? You didn't get hurt right? He didn't do anything to you at all?", she said while glaring at him.
"Yang don't be mad, he saved my life, if I hadn't have seen those feathers coming at me i'd probably have my aura drain.", Ruby said trying to diffuse the situation as quickly as possible to avoid an incident WHILE they were fighting a grimm.
Suddenly, the nevermore began to screech in pain as dozens of high caliber rounds began to impact it's hide.
"Hunters?", guessed Blake and Weiss clearly wanting good news for their current battle of attrition.
"No,", replied the male figure ,"my teammates found us." As 2 man sized objects passed by the bullhead flying at high speed, sharply turning to get another pass at the nevermore.
Team RWBY was in awe as the 2 man-sized fighters seemingly danced around the nevermore weaving in and out of the nevermore's feathers and claws. Shooting rounds from colossal miniguns that they were using.
The nevermore clearly enraged by the 2 fighters, screeched a deafening roar and charged at the 2, causing RWBY to cover their ears as they watched with bated breath for how they would react. The 2 fighters got parallel to each other and charged the nevermore together, while pulling out to huge chunks of metal that expanded into thick ultra greatswords that pulsed with blue energy. As they were about to crash right into the nevermore the 2 stuck the melee weapons in front of them like lances and rammed straight into the nevermore's wings, impaling and going straight through the nevermore as if it were made of paper, not even losing speed. RWBY was even more surprised when the now chopped wings descended to Remnant whilst being aggressively devoured by the same blue energy that was seen on the greatswords until nothing remained. The nevermore itself, screeched in anguish due to the dismemberment and fell to Remnant with a sickening thud never to fly again.
RWBY cheered in victory, giving high-fives, performing victory dances, and ultimately feeling relieved by the outcome of the encounter.
The 2 man-sized fighters flew by the Bullhead, matching its' speed as if it they were escorts, giving RWBY a closer look at their saviors. They were rather surprised by the fact that their saviors were not small fighter planes but rather a man and a woman wearing what looked like a metallic pair of wings on their waists and hips with the minigun(?) and a non expanded greatsword on their left and right respectively. Ruby and Weiss were rather interested by the design of the wings (Odanata) that were 2 large wings on either side of the new arrivals. The wings themselves were rather organically shaped for metal wings giving the impression to them that whoever made this was an extremely skilled smith.
"I want one.", Ruby declared with the rest of the team nodding their heads in agreement.
The rest of their flight to Beacon didn't take too long , due to their new escorts that were able to fend off any Grimm that were interested in the Bullhead easily.
The team found Ozpin and waiting at the airpad for them, with Ozpin holding a cup of coffee , and with her riding crop in hand and an impassive face.
Their escorts touched down too, the light blue metallic wings folding up into a more compact state around their waist while the guns and swords also began to compact.
"So you must be the Hunters that team RWBY found in the Emerald Forest.", Ozpin questioned the unknowns as they disembarked from the Bullhead.
