Alright… where do I start?
Well, truth be told, I'm not happy with this story. While what I'm writing is pretty much exactly what I first imagined, the story feels… wrong to me. This is mostly because I don't think that this is the best I can offer. My writing lately in this story (and I wrote about 15K words trying to do this chapter alone) is nothing but bad, at least in my perspective.
So, while it is unfortunately, because this is a story I really do want to write, I'll put this on a VEEEEERY long hiatus. I DO plan in fact to rewrite this in a later date, but not in the near future. I tried to "end" this chapter, but only as a premise because I needed to tell you all this.
Yes, it is a shame, but I'm doing this for both you and me. I'll train my not romance storytelling for now, and update this when I'm happy with it.
Also, starting now, I'll probably only post one shots or series that I've already finished or are near the ending. Partially because of how I'm going to write for now on, and partially because I'm on college again and writing a "scientific article" (because I study communication) is a hell o a job.
Once again, I'm sorry for the people who were supporting this.
Winter had seen uncountable battles during her stay in the atlas military, gruesome feats by soldiers that she respected and trusted her life upon. She had also seen some of this very same people die in meaningless forms.
But upon seeing what was unraveling down in the plains between the wall and the forest, her only reaction was to cover her mouth with her hands, terrified.
Down in the plains, rivulets of black Grimm blood flowed to the forest, and above them eight figures fought disgracefully, dismembering, decapitating and crushing Grimm after Grimm, wave after wave of soulless monsters.
Of the eight figures, seven were made purely of clear blue light, and the other one was completely clad on it.
Weiss' summonings were completely different from each other, comprising all the combat fields necessary in a hunter's squad.
One of the figures, a man in his forties, was light armored, but with a big exploding gauntlet extended from his arm. He was also the only one in the group that Winter knew. He was an old acquaintance of the Schnee family, but was banned from atlas.
At his left side, an armored woman took hits from the enemies in the vicinity, whilst parrying a giant Death Stalker with her bare hands.
Behind him, three more people, this time two man and one woman, all with similar light armor alternated between ranged and melee attacks against the Grimm that passed through the frontline of the group.
Behind them all, two woman with basically no armor but with huge long-range weapons served as support to ensure that anything Grimm related didn't pass through alive.
It was a one-sided massacre, with Weiss on the frontline emitting light like it was a slow burning flame, and filling the air with hate and desire to kill all the Grimm possible.
Leading the group, she dived into the wave of monsters that came from the woods, but what the Grimm had for her simply wasn't enough to slow down the woman. An Ursa Major attacked her back while she was cutting a King Taijitu head. Weiss just grabbed the Ursa pawn anticlimactically and broke her arm, swiftly cutting her in half and jumping in a pack of Beowulfs.
However, during her sparring with the Beowulfs, she felt a small chill on her spine, and looked over to her group of summonings. The backline of supports that she had set up had been annihilated by a mud and rock Geist that emerged behind the group.
"Tsc." Weiss clicked her tongue, and moved her arm in the direction of the five summonings that remained intact. She opened her hand with the palm up to the skies and turned her arm clockwise while closing her fingers.
The three middle summonings faded away as the Geist fought against them, as the woman in armor turned around and advanced in its direction.
"Counting on you Angela." Weis murmured while returning her attention to the fight.
The summoning named Angela advanced fast, dodging the punches of the rock hands of the Geist. Soon after dodging them, she jumped at the middle of the Geist solid body and punched it, making the whole thing shudder and explode. When the Geist tried to run away, she Grabbed him by the bone mask and slammed it on the floor, destroying the Grimm.
However, the man did not have too much luck with his right side open to attackers. With no clear vision to control the summonings, Weiss didn't notice a Beringel sneaking up to the man and smacking him down in the mud, destroying most of its legs. The summoned Hunter craved his spike gauntlet in the chest of the gorilla Grimm before evaporating into White mist.
"Good lord. Angela, get out it's easier to deal with this alone." Weiss complained to the Woman who began to dissolve.
She was hoping to receive some help from the other Hunter in the wall, since she was attracting every Grimm in the region to herself, but either they were in bad shape due to the previous fight or too scared to have a little bit of fun.
It didn't matter either way, so she just added firepower to her weapon. Her sword glowed in a vivid red as she kicked off the fire dust and swung her blade with full force, creating a shockwave of heat air that set the Grimm near her on fire.
The minor Grimm were mostly dealt with at this point, with only the bigger and older ones closing in at the moment due to her show of strength.
A Beringel 10 meters tall approached her and brought down his fist in her direction in a massive punch.
Weiss didn't seem to mind the action, and pierced his fist with her sword while activating Ice dust, freezing the Grimm's arm. She brought the sword down, making the whole frozen arm shatter in pieces, and jumped over his shoulder while chopping its head down.
When she landed, she saw the wave of not so powerful Grimm crawling over the wall, trying to destroy or climb it, and all the other Hunter with their hands full of defending it. She turned back, hoping that the powerful Grimm continued to attack her instead of going over the city defenses
Unfortunately for her, the next thing that attacked was a giant Death Stalker with four pincers and three tails, and it was a lot faster than the previous ones, covering the distance between them almost instantly, and launching a barrage of attacks over the white haired woman.
But while being forced into defense, she saw something that was not a familiar sight, at least for the past year.
A small red rose petal passed in front of her eyes as she deflected another attack from the beast, and one of its pincers fell before her, and she started to turn her head to confirm what she thought.
The Grimm, noticing her distraction, tried to pierce her with one of its stings. Weiss, however, saw the movement in the corner of her eye as she turned her head, and turned her body to punch the Death Stalker's tail. The force of her punch made the sting go directly into the Grimm's head, making the monster shriek and fall to the ground.
Weiss turned successfully this time, and her mouth formed a small smirk.
A woman clad in a red and black dress stood in front of her, looking at the wall.
"I thought that you were a little more composed than this."
Weiss crackled her shoulder while walking to the other woman's side.
"I thought you'd hug me a little bit more."
"Cookies after the homework?" Ruby said with a smile as she took the weapon from her hip, a big shotgun-axe, and changing her posture.
"I'll gladly accept." Weiss responded with a joking voice.
