Hurray! Someone's finally figured out the origins of my team! Here, have a cyber cookie. Anyway, on to the fight. Also, how the hell does Hotel know all these people? Only time will tell.

"…100 meters…."

I grasped my sword handle with anticipation as the light rumbling we had been tracking filled the air. I glanced at Sierra, who nodded as Hotel got into position, pointing his weapon, which he finally called Finality Executioner, up at the direction Lima was pointing to.

"…50 meters…."

Lima's ears perked again as she glanced backwards, causing me to look back as well. Ruby landed next to me as Yang walked up to Hotel with Ember Celica ready to fire with his gunlance. Blake landed next to Lima, who said, "…25 meters…."

I glanced at Sierra, who was giving the "slowing it down" signal with her hands. I nodded, then reached my arm out a ways, signaling to Ruby not to attack on the spot.

"…10 meters…."

"NOW!"

Hotel pulled the lever on his lance, signaling Yang to begin shooting her rounds. A barrage of bullets being fired filled the air as a King Taijitu appeared from the undergrowth. It hissed as the white head lunged for the two firing at it. Sierra sprinted out of her hiding place, her eyes turning from azure to red as Weiss activated an ice spell. The area turned gray as Hotel and Yang dived out of the way, turning back to normal as the snake's neck area was suddenly engulfed in ice.

The white head gave a startled roar as Ruby, Blake, Lima and I jumped out of hiding. Ruby fired a round behind her, using the acceleration to her advantage as she narrowly dodged the gaping mouth of the black head, streaking a cut down the length of its body. I reciprocated, throwing the sword in my hand up, teleporting to it as I cut down the other side. Blake fired her handgun at the head, nailing it under the bottom jaw as she ran up its lateral underbelly, cutting all the while she ran. Lima turned her axe to gun mode, firing at the head as it roared again.

I glanced back, seeing Yang latch onto one side of the white head's head, pelting one of the eyes with a barrage of bullets. Hotel reciprocated, stabbing his weapon into the other eye and shooting the hell out of it as Sierra and Weiss focused on the body.

"Delta!"

I grinned, pointing my sheath at the back, firing it as my sword traced the area where it's spine should've been. I took in a breath as Ruby latched onto me, teleporting and catching my sword as gravity began working its job on us.

With a scream of victory, Ruby fired her rounds into the air as we both stabbed our weapons down it's back, blood filling the air as we landed on the ground, rolling to either side of each other as the black body fell down, writhing in pain.

"Still not dead yet?"

I got back to my feet, suddenly hearing an explosion in the distance. I glanced up, seeing a flash of pink, then hearing a loud "CRACK" as Nora's hammer smashed through the skull of the black head. Suddenly, Pyrrha's shield came sailing through it air as it cut the head clean off, flying back to where she was standing several yards away. I then turned to the white head, seeing Ren rip off both fangs, then throwing them into the hard skull, cringing as the fangs went clean through and into the ground beneath it.

The giant snake-like Grimm finally shivered, then went limp as it slowly began to dissolve. I let out a breath of relief as Ruby walked up to me, necking me as she said, "Good job."

"And I to you," I replied, sheathing my swords and returning the gesture. Sierra threw her arm over Weiss's shoulders as Lima nuzzled her head against Blake's, getting a look of annoyance from the older Faunus.

"Did we come in time?"

I looked at Pyrrha, who was approaching Ruby and I. I leaned back, shaking my head and replied, "Naw. Just on time."

"Thanks Pyrrha," Ruby said as Crescent Rose folded up into gun mode. Ruby put her weapon away as I then took notice of the absence of Jaune.

"Hey," I asked, "where's Jaune?"

"Jaune? He's-."

Just then, a giant Ursa fell in front of us as Jaune said, "Yeah! I'm the man!"

He began posing, causing me to give myself a face palm as Pyrrha continued, "He's still training."

I let out a breath of relief, falling backwards onto my bed as Sierra said, "Good job today, team!"

Hotel grinned as Lima quickly began working on something else with her newfound talent. I sighed and said, "I shouldn't say this, but I think we would've been better off just going to class…."

"Then you're a wuss," Sierra said to me, a knife appearing in front of my face, causing me to flinch in surprise. I let out a panicked yelp, rolling out of the way as it flew and stopped right where my head would've been. I could see Sierra with her glowing red orbs as she smiled at me and said, "That's what I thought, Delta!"

I groaned, grabbing the knife and throwing it back to her. She caught it in midflight as I said, "Well…this kind of work does keep me in practice."

Just then, Lima stood up, walking towards the door. I sat up and asked, "Where're you going?"

Lima turned around, then pulled up her project.

I stared at her work, then felt the blood in my body rush to my head as she said, "…done…."

Sierra whistled and said, "You really do make the perfect couple with Ruby, Delta."

It was a knit of me and Ruby sleeping next to each other. I lowered my head in embarrassment as Lima said, "…gift…to Ruby…."

I fell back onto my bed as Sierra said, "I'm sure Ruby would love it, Lima."

I could hear Hotel flop into bed as he called out, "I'm out!"

I smiled to myself, sitting back up and said, "I'm changing."

I could hear Sierra say, "I'll go report on our mission."

"Alright, see you in the morning," I replied, standing up to go to the bathroom. I groaned, stretching out and felt my spine pop several times.

"Delta."

I turned to face Hotel as he said, "Team SWRD's not a team to take lightly. Especially the girl."

My glance sharpened as he sat up and said, "She's not your typical blade wielder."

"You know her?"

He nodded, then said, "Unfortunately."

I sighed and asked, "Does she use two daggers or something?"

"Right on the money," he said. I nodded, turning around, only to catch what he said next.

"But the thing is," he continued, "Is that she can't control her semblance."

I turned to him as he finished, "Yet."

"'Yet?'"

He nodded and continued.

"She can't teleport to her weapons like you, but she can trace them. Much like when you trace your swords, she can trace her daggers. But she can't do it properly yet, so she'll sometimes do the brash thing and run towards them, swinging wildly at you if you're between her and her weapon."

"That's reckless," I replied.

"But effective," he continued. I glanced downwards as Hotel finally said, "She's got a short temper, so she'll be quick to draw her weapons and start cussing up a storm."

"Don't worry," I said with an annoyed smirk, "she's already called Ruby a bitch. If I didn't know any better, I would've cut her head off by now."

Hotel laughed, then said, "Her name's Dagger Steelcore. She's the twin sister of the leader, Saber Steelcore."

"But they're complete opposites."

Hotel nodded and said, "Which is why I wonder how he copes with her."

Just then, Sierra appeared in front of me and asked, "Are you done yet?"

I turned to her and replied, "I was actually talking to Hotel about that new team."

Sierra raised an eyebrow, then said, "First, get your ass into your sleeping clothes, then we talk about other teams. Capeesh?"

Capeesh? When did we start using capeesh?

"*sigh*…capeesh…."

Yeeeeaaaah, don't ask me, I don't know why I added capeesh as well. Must be my sister rubbing off on me.
