Personal log - Pyrrha Nikos

Things aren't good here in Beacon... Morale is at an all time low... Jaune and Theta are doing what they can but... I fear it isn't enough...

I just hope-

*Voice is cut off by distant screaming, soon accompanied by gunfire*

*door opens, and Yang Xiao Long speaks*

Y: Pyrrha! Come on! We're under attack!

P: Who, Atlas?

Y: ...No. it's worse... LOOKOUT!

*Sounds of glass breaking and rocks exploding, accompanied by loud screams and -bird sounds-*

-Microphone shuts off with a crackle

The courtyard of Beacon, once known for it's glistening splendor, topped by a gleaming stone statue that tells a tale of hunters and huntresses of old. Now, a war zone, filled with screaming civilians and hunter students alike.

The cause of this pandemonium is none other than the equally ancient enemies of humanity: The Creatures of Grimm.

The hastily built anti-aircraft knocked a few winged Nevermores out of the air, before they were overwhelmed.

The smaller yet equally terrifying land based Grimm soon followed.

"Get the women and children inside! Hunters, hold them off! Ruby, May! Get a vantage point and give them cover! CFVY, CRDL, and Nora! With me! Go, go, go!" The young de facto leader of Beacon ordered... through his AI. He was attempting to rally order amongst complete chaos.

The respective teams sprang into action like a well oiled machine, hacking, shooting, and slashing against the growing darkness.

Above, Jaune noticed a Nevermore had embedded it's beak in a window... his dorm window.

"Look out!" Theta's multi-layered voice called out, and he turned just in time to see a large claw speeding towards him.

He jumped back just in time, as Sun jumped in front of him in defense.

"What the hell you doing on the battlefield, Arc... You don't even have a weapon!" The monkey faunus shouted as he beat the living snot out of a Beowolf.

He nodded, then ran back towards the school.

'Theta, set up a network, so you can coordinate the defense

"You got it!" His companion AI responded quickly.

He looked back up at the Nevermore, and saw a sudden fiery glow envelope it, then set it ablaze.

'Yang has her. Good.' He thought, and continued running into the school.

Once safely inside, he sprinted to the top of Emerald Tower to survey the battlefield.

It was complete pandemonium.

The students attempted to create a perimeter around the main courtyard, but the ever growing tide of Grimm kept pushing them back.

Beowulves, Creeps, Ursae, Boarbatusks, and even a few Griffons were amongst the fray.

Ruby, May, and a few other snipers helped a bit to thin the Grimm ranks, but for every death, two more seemed to take their place.

Jaune began having giving mental orders to Theta.

'Pull everyone back into the school, then have them barricade the doors."

"You sure? We'll be trapped!"

'If we can pacify the civilians, nullify most of the negativity, the Grimm horde should dissipate.'

"I don't know..."

'Just do it, T.'

"Alright."

Jaune watched the defenders of Beacon begin to give ground, until they were right infront of the doors, then stop.

'What's the holdup, T?'

"According to Weiss Schnee, we cannot open the doors without the 89% chance of letting Grimm into the school. If we were to leave a small force behind to defend the doors, that percentage would decrease drastically."

'You sound like Delta sometimes... Anyway, leaving someone outside is not an option.'

"It is our only option," Theta flickered for a second, then "Russell Thrush, Arslan Altan, Bolin Hori, and Fox Alistair have volunteered to defend the doors."

'The chances of survival?'

".0001% chance."

'No. Too small... even a 90% chance is too small. We'll have to run the risk.'

"Ms. Schnee and Ms. Belladonna disagree... They aren't too thrilled with leaving someone behind, too. But, I quote, 'We must do our job.'"

'No. I am not sacrificing anybody. Not today, not ever.'

"Ms. Schnee sent a voice message. Replaying: I'm sorry Jaune... It is now or never... they're ready." Weiss seemed to sob during this message.

"'OOOOOOOOOOOOO, 'OP!" Jaune screamed for the first time as he watched a few students push forward, as the ones behind them began to open the front doors.

After they were through, the doors shut, leaving the suicide team to their fate.

A/N: The Battle of Beacon is not over. The second part is coming soon... and warning, there will be main character death.
