Yang's fiery aura burst forward, consuming the oncoming swarm. Ruby aimed Crescent Rose and fired multiple rounds, taking out the frontrunners of the next wave. When it seemed that they were far enough ahead, they turned and ran to catch up with the rest of the group. Besides them, there was also Weiss, the entirety of team JNPR, and Velvet Scarlatina.
When the zombie hordes had been all but defeated an alien ship crash-landed and unleashed a worse plague. These creatures were called the flood. The smaller infection forms swarmed over people and zombies alike, turning them into the larger combat forms. The small group barely made it out of Beacon alive.
Jaune looked to the survivors, and they looked to him. He held up a finger. "One second. I need to survey the area."
They were in the backyard of a home in some rural area of Vale. There had obviously been children in this home at some point, as there was a swing set and a slide in the yard. Jaune climbed the three steps to the top of the slide and looked around, shielding his eyes from the sun. What he saw was disheartening.
Stepping back to the ground, he met the hopeful gaze of his friends. Velvet's eyes were wide, showing how frightened she was. "Are there many?"
He nodded. "Yup. Lots."
At the back, Yang glanced at her arm and exclaimed, "Oh, hey, looks like I've been bit."
Everyone suddenly gasped in horror. Ruby rushed over to her sister and embraced her. "No! You can't be bit! Why does it have to be you?" She broke down sobbing.
Yang patted her sister's head. "Ruby… it's just a Mosquito bight. It's nothing to cry over."
Ruby jumped back. "A Mosquito bight!? Why you…!"
"Guys… little help here."
All eyes turned to see… a walking pile of infection forms.
Yang jumped into action, firing Ember Celica and blasting away all the disgusting little balls of mutation. Underneath the creatures she found a pristine and untouched Blake Belladonna. The Faunus girl just watched them as they all stared at her in disbelief.
Blake shrugged. "I think I'm immune. That's all I got."
Ruby pumped her fist in the air. "Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!"
Weiss looked Blake up and down. "So… did you save your… ninjas?"
Blake narrowed her eyes at Weiss. "That's none of your business."
Jaune called everyone's attention back to the situation at hand. "Hey guys? We have zombies and stuff to deal with."
Weiss turned to Jaune. "Stop using that word!"
Yang rolled her eyes. "You know what? I think I'm gonna go shake some hands with those infection forms. It would be more productive than this."
Everyone turned to look at Yang, then froze. Ruby tried to speak as calmly as possible. "Uh… Yang? There's something on your head."
Yang stopped. "What is it, like, a spider? Get it off."
Being ever so helpful, Nora answered for everyone. "Nope! Looks more like a crab."
CHOMP
Ruby looked on the verge of crying. "Um… Yang?"
Yang turned around, revealing that the Headcrab had been unable to succeed in its attack because of her massive amount of hair. The creature was simply hanging off the back of her head, having completely failed at its life goal. Yang reached up and pulled it off, holding out for all to see.
After a moment of silence, Yang just laughed. "Cute. I think I'll call it Daisy."
Weiss fainted.
Author's Note: There will be a third part somewhere down the road consisting of a Half Life 2 parody, possibly with a crowbar that turns into a gravity gun. Also, I had another idea and maybe next chapter or something we'll see who Ruby's father might be! Now, if anyone has any suggestions please tell me in a review, or maybe a PM. I'll gladly do any that are within my ability.
Tell me what you think. Would Yang be immune to Headcrabs because her hair is simply too big? Should Blake be immune to the Flood virus? Is it because she's a Faunus?
