Hey there, y'all! I actually finished this one a couple days ago, so here it is. And at last, the explanation! Woohoo!

...Never mind. Onward.

"Hey Yang?"

Ruby looked at her sister, who in turn, looked back at her.

"Why did you punch Hotel with Ember Celica?"

Yang blinked, asking, "Wasn't he hitting on you?"

"No," Ruby replied, "Sierra hit his private area after he saw me with Delta."

Yang blinked at her again, then smirked and said, "Well, he made a remark about my sister. There's no way I'm letting him get away with that."

Ruby blinked in confusion, then replied, "Regardless, you have to stop randomly hitting people like that."

Yang laughed and answered, "Well, then I guess you can also call it a toughness check!"

"Toughness check?"

"Yeah," Yang replied, "there's gotta be a reason he's got all that muscle."

"Not to mention he's a hunk," Yang thought to herself as Ruby smiled and said, "well, I guess you're right.

"Ahhh-choo!"

I looked at Hotel and yelled, "Someone's talking about you!"

"The hell they are!"

The sound of the chopper blade whirred over our voices as Sierra yelled, "Okay! We're not getting a smooth landing 'cuz we're going into hot territory! Remember our objective! And Hotel!"

He turned towards our team leader.

"If I so much as see an entire section of forest go through deforestation, you're not eating for a week!"

I could see a look of fright in his eyes as he quickly replied, "Y-Yes ma'am!"

Lima kept her ears covered from the loudness of the whirring of the blades as Sierra yelled, "Delta! Get Lima's attention!"

I gave her a light nudge, getting a glance from her as Sierra continued, "Okay, here's our stop! Let's go!"

With that, she jumped out of the chopper, catching a tree and running down the length of it. Hotel followed, releasing his weapon as he continuously shot at the ground to soften his landing. I looked at Lima, who was clearly distressed from the sound of the helicopter blades. Sighing, I grabbed onto her, throwing one of my swords out the side and teleporting to it as it hit the ground.

"…thank you…," she said to me, rubbing her wolf ears. I could only assume that her ears were still ringing from the chopper.

Looking at Sierra, who had just landed several feet away from me, I turned back to Lima, who still had her ears covered. I couldn't help but laugh at how cute Lima looked covering her ears.

"Hey, Delta."

I turned to face Sierra.

"You know where Hotel is?"

I turned around in a three-sixty, shrugging as my response. Looking back at Lima, I shrugged at her, being responded with her turning around. At a hole in the ground. Don't tell me dumbass is in the ground.

Walking over, I looked down and saw him looking up at me.

"Hey," he yelled, "get me out of here!"

I couldn't help but laugh, sticking one of my swords where I was standing next to the hole. I then dropped my other sword, hearing it hit the ground, as well as Hotel yelling, "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU DROP THAT, ASSHOLE!"

I laughed again, teleporting to the sword in the hole, appearing right in front of Hotel. He stared at me as I said, "Grab on."

As he grabbed my shoulder I focused my aura on my other sword that was on the ledge, teleporting to where it was still sitting.

Only to see Sierra right in my face.

"Aww," she said, "here I was about to throw it into the hole after you…."

"That's not nice," I said back to her. Sierra smirked and replied, "I never said I was a nice person, Delta."

I sighed, looking back at Lima, who had finally taken her hands off her ears, perking them around with her hand on her hatchet. Sheathing my swords, I walked up to her and asked, "What's up, partner?"

She didn't look at me as she replied, "Grimm. A pack."

"Beowolves?"

Lima shook her head, drawing her weapon in rifle form as she replied, "…Ursa…."

My sword handles immediately clicked back into place as I reached for them. Immediately, though, I heard something crash through the undergrowth as an Ursa landed right in front of us. With a knife in its mask. Causing me to turn back towards Sierra, who was grinning like she didn't know anything. Save your innocent talk for later.

"…Really?"

"You need to move faster than that if you want to beat me," she replied, taking out a few more knives and throwing them in the exact same direction from where the Ursa had fallen in front of us.

The forest shook beneath our feet as several more fell down.

However, a large Ursa then appeared, several of Sierra's knives in its arms.

"Oh, what the hell," I heard her mutter, hearing the sound of grinding metal. I guess she took out more knives.

"Get out of the way!"

We both turned backwards, seeing Hotel with his Gunlance pointed in our direction. My eyes widened as I watched in slow motion the bullets in the lance glowing an angry bright red.

Suddenly, everything froze. I blinked in confusion, turning around to see everything else had frozen. I then heard a sigh as Sierra's voice said, "C'mon, I can't freeze time forever, you know."

Turning to face her, she shot an annoyed look at me and said, "Remind me to punish asshole over there when we get back to Beacon."

I nodded, stepping clear out of the way as she unfroze time, Hotel's lance letting loose an insane amount of bullets. Blood practically flew all over as the Ursa was continuously pelted with bullets, finally falling into a pool of its own blood afterwards. I gave a look of disgust, turning to Hotel and asking, "Don't you think you over-did it a bit?"

He only held a cocky smile, cocking his lance. I looked at Sierra, who looked like she was holding herself back from beheading him. I sighed, turning back to Lima, who had an eyebrow raised. If anything, she looked pissed off that he had let loose with all that ammunition.

"Lima?"

She turned away from me, saying, "…loud things…annoying…."

I sighed, turning to Sierra, who had obvious angry marks all over her face as Hotel said, "Okay, who's next!?"

"Hotel," I began saying, "you aught stop letting loose with your ammo otherwise you'll hit something you don't intend to-."

Suddenly, a heavy rumble began shaking the ground. Lima looked on towards the direction of the rumble, catching all of our attentions. Hotel cocked his weapon as did Lima as I reached for my swords, Sierra reaching for her knives.

Whatever's coming at us, it's big. Really big.

"Delta."

"Yeah?"

"Throw me a sword."

Turning to Sierra, I couldn't help but wonder what she was planning on doing, but I followed her orders, throwing a sword in her direction and drawing my second as my precautionary.

"Deathstalker…!"

I turned towards Lima, yelling, "A Deathstalker!?"

Suddenly, a roar filled the air as the giant scorpion-like Grimm appeared, its pincers covered in holes. Presumably from Hotel's firing frenzy.

"Hotel, you're lucky we're fighting this thing otherwise you'd be fucking dead by now!"

Yep. Sierra's pissed. Really pissed.

The Grimm lunged at us with its stinger. I rolled to the right as the team scattered, circling it. Sierra threw several knives at it while Lima fired her rifle, but to no avail.

The Grimm deflected the knives, turning to the minor irritation that was Lima's rifle bullets. Lifting its pincer, it prepared to strike my Faunus teammate, who changed her weapon to its axe form. Doing a back flip, she dodged it, throwing her axe at it. The Deathstalker then swung its second pincer, deflecting it into the air.

"Delta, heads up!"

"On it!"

Judging the distance, I threw my sword where Lima's axe would be, focusing my aura and appearing before it in midair. Spinning my body, I caught both my sword and Lima's axe, only to see the Deathstalker's tail about to cut me open.

Think, Delta! Think!

I looked around quickly, seeing Sierra still holding my sword. Focusing my aura again, I teleported myself to the other sword in Sierra's hand, appearing in front of her as the Grimm roared again, turning our way. Using my bodily rotation, I let go of the sword in Sierra's hand, throwing Lima's axe back her way as Hotel charged the beast, lance lowered.

"RaaaAAAAHHH!"

Hotel lunged his lance into one of the Grimm's giant pincers while Sierra worked on the other as Lima cut through one of its legs. I flanked around and reciprocated Lima, shooting a glance at her as she and I weaved beneath the beast, cutting its legs off one by one.

"Lima! Delta! Get out of there!"

We both rolled out from under the beast, slashing off the last of its legs as Sierra's pupils began to glow red. Suddenly, what appeared to be thousands of knives standing with their blades up appeared under the Grimm as Sierra snapped her fingers. The Deathstalker, which was just frozen in time, fell onto the knives, letting out a cry of pain as blood began to pool beneath it. Sierra looked back at Hotel with her red orbs, saying, "Soften it up for me."

I threw my sword up as he ran for me, grabbing onto my shoulder as I teleported, assisting him with his jump as he pointed his lance downward, letting loose a barrage of bullets onto its armored back.

Bits of bone flew here and there as I teleported back to where my other sword was next to Lima as Sierra glared the beast down, saying, "It was fun, but all fun's gotta come to an end."

With that, she raised her hand as Hotel rolled away from the beast, snapping her fingers. My eyes widened as what seemed like millions of knives appeared, surrounding the beast as she said, "Sorry for ruining your life, but I'm sure we'll meet again someday."

With that, she smiled, motioning her hand in a downward wave, causing all of the knives to come down on the beast. I looked away, cringing as its cries of death echoed in the forest. She's…brutal.

Looking back, I took a glance at the Deathstalker, now covered in knives with a massive pool of blood under its body as I heard Sierra sigh. Lima covered her nose, probably from the overwhelming smell of blood as Hotel gave a shout of victory.

"…Sierra?"

I looked at our leader, concerned.

Sierra remained silent for a bit, then chipped up to her usual self with a smile and said, "Okay! Mission accomplished!"

I blinked, then furrowed my brows in concern. I would know because I had intense mood swings like this back at Signal when Ruby left. She's not happy with herself.

Turning back, I looked at Lima, who shook her head in agreement. I nodded, following them as we began our trek to Vale where we would eventually be picked up.
