Chapter Five - Boss Battles.

"Not if I can help it!" declared Ruby charging forward towards the Deathstalker, firing her weapon to accelerate quickly. Only to be rebuffed by the monsters thickly armoured claws. "IT-Don-dont worry! Totally fine!" She boldly declared before making a hasty retreat from the carrapaced Grimm.

As she fled the giant Nevermore returned and fired several dousen feathers at the red reaper. "Ruby!" cried Yang, seeing the girl traped amongst several feather blades, one pinning her cloak to the ground.

The death stalker rapidly approached the trapped girliand as Rubiy closed her eyes to face her end a loud crash rang out. She turned to see ice forming between her and the monsters grip and two figures atop its back blocking the deadly stinger. "You are so childish" come the voice of her saviour. "and I can be a little bit difficult." Weiss admitted. "But were going to have to do this together. So if you stop trying to show off, I can be a little bit... nicer."

"I'm not trying to show off, I want you to know I can do this." admits Ruby.

"This is nice and everything, but we need to decide what we're doing next." says Asuna in a stern tone jumping off the back of the Grimm. Getting back to the others Jaune points at the sky and says "that thing is circling back around."

"Look dealing with these things is not our job here, we should just go." points out Kirito, Getting agreement all round. So Ruby and Jaune grab a relic and the group make a hasty retreat to the cliffs.

As the group made their way to the cliffs they came upon an abandoned keep. A bridge leading to their destination now garded by the giant Nevermore. It loomed menacingly over the keep blocking their way. Nora fired off several grenades at the bird, When a rumbling from behind caught her attention. Blake and Ren blocked the returning scorpion like Grimm as Leafa pulled her out of the way.

When the group made it to the bridge to the keep the Nevermore smashed into it cutting off Pyrrha, Blake, Ren, and Yui from the others. As they fired their weapons at the Deathstalker Nora blasted the broken bridge, launching her and Jaune over bringing her hammer down on it's head, unfortunately she recoiled into Blake who fell into the crevice below.

Kirito yelled out, "Giant snake! Coiling around the far bridge!" as he and Asuna took to the air. Yui flew to join Leafa and the pair went to help the other fae. The little pixie girl peppered the snakes heads with wind blades as Leafa flew at its eyes slashing them with her sword. With a cry of "switch" Kirito charged the monster two swords drawn, slashing his way through with a starburst stream stunning the heads leaving them open to several quick thrusts by Asuna, stopping it dead.

while this was going on Blake had swung herself at the Nevermore, teaming up with the other girls. Jaune noticing the weakened stinger on the Grimm before them calls out to Pyrrah. She launches her shield at it, breaking it off, wedging it behind the monsters head. Launching Nora into the air she brings her hammer down on the spike, driving it through the beasts head.

The final group stood together atop the keep. They shot round after round at the bird making it fly into the tower. They ran across the falling rubble and landed safety on the bridge to the cliffs. Weiss froze its tail feathers in place as Yang and Blake set a cord between two poles. Ruby jumped on the wire as Weiss prepared a Glyph. Flying through the air she smashed into the wall and charged upward on a path of Weiss' Glyphs, firing all the while, dragging her foe with her. When Ruby reached the top its head came clean off ending the last Grimm in the area.

"Russle Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark!" called Ozpin from a large stage "you retrieved the black bishop pieces, from now on you will be known as Team CRDL (cardinal) led by Cardin Winchester."

"Jaune Arc, Pyrrah Nikos, Lee Ren, Nora Valkyrie! together you retrieved the white castle pieces, from now on you will be known as Team JNPR (Juniper), lead by... Jaune Arc!" This declaration caused Jaune to go pale.

''Kirito, Asuna, Leafa, Yui! You have retrieved the black knight pieces, from now on you will be known as Team KAYL (Keel) led by Asuna."

"Even now you still the commander." muttered Kirito earning a playful punch.

"Finally, Blake Belladona, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long! you will be known as Team RWBY, led by Ruby Rose!"

After the ceremony they all went to bed for the night wondering what the morning would bring.
