Hello everyone TheRedSpider here. Long time no see you. Yeah, I know, I've been gone for a couple of months and though it maybe have looked like I abandoned the series, fear not; far from it actually. There's been some things happening, some university related and some other life related matters.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who started to follow my story since my last chapter, is really incredible to think so many people are following this story, so again, thank you guys.

Second of all, as you may have noticed the time have not been wasted. I´ve working very hard on 3 chapters. That's part of the reason why I publish them now. I wanted to get them all right, so I took my time writing them.

Finally, we are approaching the end of this world, there are many other dimensions I want to explore, but the universe of RWBY have been a blast to explore, so the story have been extended more than I originally wanted it to be.

In any case, I hope you enjoy my work and leave a comment if you like it!

Chapter 8: The Big Plan

The Emerald Forrest is a place forbidden for any student of Beacon to enter unarmed and even for those well-trained; they eventually learn to respect it. The extensive terrain and the savage creatures that dwell within have made it the spot for many tragedies in the past.

As RWBY, JNPR, Glynda and Spider-man searched for a secret entrance, they were fortunate enough to find it, sadly not by themselves. Once the White Fang descended on them, the group decided not to uphold any resistance. Held at gun point, they entered a secret passage to the inside of a mountain. The walk took some time. The only things guiding their steps were little light bulbs on the ceiling that gave barely enough light. They went to some passages and avoid others .The echoes from their steps and the sound of their handcuffs could be heard throughout all the rocky tunnels. Peter and his allies were being watched at all times. Behind them were White Fang soldiers aiming their guns at them. The silver-haired woman was in the front, walking straight without looking back. To the left was a woman of brownish hair with orange highlights. A whip was around her waist, with the handle resting on her right side. Another member was on the right, she had crimson-red hair and was constantly playing with a dagger as they walk. Every so often she would glance at the group but especially at Ren while a small grin formed in her face. The woman got close to him

"You smell good pretty boy" she whispered in his ear.

Ren moved her ear away from her

The woman just laughed "Good, I like them hard to catch".

The last member was the blue-haired of the group. She was on the back with her bow ready to act if anyone decided to do anything stupid.

The ending of their walk came soon after, revealing an expanding facility. Hundreds of White Fang soldiers were there. Some were transporting equipment and some others were repairing machines on the wall. A group of five approached a big wooden box and opened it. From it, several white robots came out marching. All of them with a distinctive A in one of their sides. They looked similar to the ones Velvet had batted days ago, thought these one appeared defiantly more advance.

"You know" Peter spoke. Somehow his voice reached everyone's ears. "The whole underground terrorist base is kind of overplayed at this point. I can recommend you an excellent interior decorator that can really make this place-". A sharp object was pressed against his throat, a dagger. The knife belonged to the very annoyed looking red-head.

"You talk too much" She said.

"I get that a lot". Peter smirked and it fully showed even with his mask on. The red-head just push the blade a bit more. Then an idea appeared on her head.

"I know what will erase that stupid smile. Let's see who is behind the mask". She intended to pull the mask but as much as she tried, the mask just wouldn't come off. This of course, just made the woman angrier.

"Oh, sorry. Didn't I mentioned that I glued the mask to my face? It's very useful in these situations" The arachnid smirked again.

Even though her mask covered her face, the anger of the red-head was palpable. She was about to cut his throat but Felicia´s soft voice stopped her.

"Alina, at ease". The woman drawback her weapon though deep down her intentions were others. "Now" Felicia continued "The prisoners will go to the rooms above but Ms. Belladonna will be put in the interrogation room in level 3. I want a switch on guards every 20 minutes".

As ordered, the soldiers took the group to their respective areas.

-Emerald Forrest: 40 minutes ago-

Professor Goodwitch had just killed 6 Grimm with a swipe of her wand a couple of minutes ago and to say that the students, as well as the hero, were impressed and terrified was pretty accurate. Before the group started to move, Ruby spoke.

"Hummm…. Professor Goodwitch?"

"Yes Ms. Rose?" The woman turned to Ruby and adjusted her glasses

"Shouldn´t we like… you know….. make a plan of attack?"

"She is correct professor" Ren stepped forward "A well thought out plan can give us an advantage in an unfair battleground"

"I can get behind that Jackie Chang" Peter said. As before everybody just stared at him. "Come on guys! What's the pint of cracking jokes if nobody gets them!?"

Deciding to ignore the hero, Glynda simply continue speaking to Ruby.

"Very well Ms. Rose, what do we know so far?"

"Well, according to Mr. Hero here" Weiss, the ice-queen, entered the discussion "We are looking for a secret facility hidden somewhere in the Emerald Forest".

"Is there anything else you can tell us?" Ruby said as she got closer to the arachnid, her eyes were almost sparking as she talked to him.

Peter thought for a moment "Now that I´m closer to my tracker I can feel it better. The signal is coming from somewhere underground".

Out of nowhere, Nora raised her hand and started to jump up and down

"Uh…. Yes Nora?" Spider-man said

"When will I be able to smash things with my little Magnhild?" Her smiles adorned her face as usual as she hugged her hammer.

"We better leave the smashing for later Nora" Said Jaune putting a hand on the orange-haired´s shoulder.

"Not fair" She said

Pyrrha walked to the professor "So what´s the plan Spider-man?"

"Ahem" The hero´s voice called everyone's attention. "I actually have some experience with underground facilities. My strategy usually consists of sneaking around the facility, find the main power source and stop any plans the bad guys have. You now, normal hero stuff. Though, without knowing the layout I can just give you my assumptions".

"We do know the layout". Blake's voice sounded almost like a whisper but Peter still caught it.

"What do you mean Blake?"

Every team has been isolated from each other; with RWY handcuffed in one cell, Blake and JNPR being escorted by guards and finally Peter and Glynda being locked together in another section, far from everyone. Once JNPR were safely imprisoned, the guards took Blake to the interrogation room. Before moving any further, the chain in Blake's legs made her tripped, falling to the ground head first.

"Blake! Are you alright?!" Came Nora's voice from the inside of the cell

"Stand up prisoner" ordered one of the guards, unflinching to the girl on the ground

"God damn it man! Don't you see she needs help!?" shouted Jaune as he when to the bars.

"Back down!" shouted the guard

"Like hell I will!" the blonde responded

"Back down before we open fire!" The guard ordered again, this time however, the members of his party aimed their weapons at the blonde. The boy wouldn't go back, but Pyrrha's sudden touch surprised him and made him turned. The red-head pleaded him to stop and go back.

"Ja-Jaune…" Blake voice reached his ears "I'm… alright. Don't worry". Said the girl as she slowly stood up. A bit of blood was coming out of her eyebrows. The boy returned to the back of his cell, next with his teammates. Ren, Nora, Pyrrha and Jaune just stood there, watching hopelessly as Blake was being escorted, almost dragged through the hall.

As for the witch and the hero, their cell was in a floor below the others. The professor was on the floor, handcuffed similar to the brunette, except that he also had chains attached to his legs, and these were connected to the wall.

"You know Glynda; somehow I think I've been in kinkier situations. She just rolled her eyes. "Hey guard!" Peter turned his attention to one of the soldiers keeping an eye on them "I need to go to the bathroom! I promised not to escape if you let me go!" The guard watching them just grunted "If I end up going to the doctor for a bladder infection you'll get the bill for my treatment!"

Glynda stoop up "Guards, I request to be transfer to another cell!"

"You are almost as mean as them blondie" The arachnid faked a sad expression. After a few moments of silence he spoke again.

"Glynda…. Can I ask you something?"

"WHAT?!" the teacher didn't look at him

"Can't you make a spell to set us free? You know, Expecto Patronum our way out of here?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well I thought all magicians had spells with their wands and also spells by mouth"

"And what gives you the slightest idea that I´m a magician?"

"You use a wand, have a cape and glasses. If you are hiding a scar in form of a lightning in your forehead I'm calling you Harriet Potter from now on."

"I'm not a magician YOU IDIOT!"

"Yeah sure because every time you tried to squash me you were using the power of love"

"My semblance is telekinesis you stupid arachnid! And I don't use a wand, it's a ridding cop with dust I use to concentrate my powers!"

"Oh…. So you are into that kind of stuff huh?"

"We do know the layout"

"What do you mean by that Blake?" The girl in monochromatic clothing took a stick laying on the ground and started to draw on the sand

"The compound probably has several floors. The deepest one is a basement were they keep their supplies and ammo" She indicated with her stick "The base floor is for operations, this is probably where their biggest number is. The upper floors are where they rest and sleep and a couple of them are designated for interrogation and imprisonment as well."

"Blake…. How do you know all this?" Spider-man asked. As he looked at her, he noticed how everyone threw quick look among them. -There is something they're not telling me- . Bake continue talking

"If you look for a powers source, it's probably on the west wing of the basement" She pointed out at the location on her map. "The road that leads to it shouldn't have much security but you probably need an especial card to access it. All of the guards have one".

"So…. We need someone to pretend to be a guard, is that it?" Jaune pointed out "You know that sounds crazy right?"

Ruby, Weiss and Yang were sitting in silence just waiting. The white-haired girl had been quiet for the most part since they arrived which was odd for her team mates. Yang on the other hand had the intention of breaking her cuffs and escape. Even without gauntlets the blonde beauty wasn't someone to take lightly. She had enough strength to break free yet that wasn't an option right now.

Finally Ruby was just there, worried about the others and specially Blake.

"Did you see it?" The voice of the white princess called the attention of her two companions

"What?" Yang said

"Did you see it? The A symbol in those robots"

"No Weiss…. Sorry" Ruby responded

"Those are last-generation robot soldiers from Atlas"

"What?" Yang arched her eyebrow "How did they get their hands on-"

"I don't know" Weiss rested her head on her hands "If they were able to steal that from us, I don't want to image what else they have here". Silence fell upon the room once again.

-Please Blake, be careful- Ruby thought.

"So…. We need someone to pretend to be a guard, is that it?" Jaune pointed out "You know that sounds crazy right?" Jaune commented "Beside, how are we gonna even get in?"

"By letting them capture us first" Blake responded

"You can't be serious Blake!" Weiss walked to her "You really want us just to surrender?!"

"Yes. If we surrender now, they'll lower their guard. If we try to invade or attack them, we'll face fortress with no way of accessing it."

Everyone got quiet considering what Blake proposed. Even professor Goodwitch was giving it a thought. In that moment Peter spoke.

"Ok Blake. Let's say we do as you say, then what happens?"

"Well…. They'll most like handcuff us and take our weapons to their secure room in the main floor. Then we'll be imprison in any of these floors" She said pointing between the 1st and 4th floor. "I'm almost sure they have their power plant at the baseman. If you get there and destroy it, any electronic device will be shut down but the backup should kick in 10 minutes after.

"Wait a moment Blake" Yang interrupted "I can break my handcuffs even without my gauntlets. I can set us free and then we wouldn't need to put up a stage play"

"That may be true Yang but the White Fang uses red dust on their cuffs. Once a censor inside the cuffs senses that the metal is bending an electric signal activates the dust; exploding on the spots and taking your hand with it".

An eerie silence fell upon the group.

After everything he heard, the arachnid hero evaluated the situation in his head again and again. Finally he came to a conclusion.

"Ok kids, things are getting way out of hand. It was fun to tag along with you but I think I'll take this from here".

"Wait what!?" was almost everyone's reaction

As if reading her mind, Spider-man turned to Glynda "Glynda the situation is turning way too risky and I'm sorry but I don't think your students are ready"

"You can't do that!" Weiss shouted "What gives you the right to decide if we can handle this or not?!"

"Mr. Spider-man… Sr." Ruby was trying to stay determine "Weiss is right, this is our mission to complete"

Pyrrha got close "Spider-man, I'm grateful for you helping us out before but that doesn't mean we'll follow your orders. My place is here with my friends"

Even if it meant to risk his own life, Peter would not back down. He was going to give them another argument when Glynda's voice came through.

"Before we discuss anything, hear me out. I've trying to communicate with Beacon in the last 10 minutes and so far, no signal has been able to reach them; which probably means-"

"Which probably means they blocked the signal…. Damnit" Peter grunted.

"It appears that there is no way we can go back, so we stay to fight, whether you like it or not Mr. Hero" Weiss spoke.

A single bulb illuminated a small room. Blake sat quietly in a very uncomfortable chair. Arms tighten behind her back and a rope around her neck. At the moment the only thing she was sure of was the icy feeling of the water where her feet where in. Why were her feet in a bucket? She didn't know. Behind her a metal door opened, revealing the woman with the whip from before with a relaxed face. The young woman didn't have her weapon at hand but rather a dark blue dust crystal.

"Hey kitty, comfortable?" She said

"…" Blake didn't respond

"Come girl, you really gonna give me the cold shoulder?"

"…."

"Hey I just got some tuna, do you want some?"

"…."

The woman sighted "And here I thought being sister-in-arms would make this easier Blake. Well, enjoy the ride". Without breaking eye contact, the woman just dropped the crystal on the bucket. For a second nothing happened but soon the temperature on of the water when downhill. Blake fell how her two limbs started to freeze. Somehow the freezing was traveling throughout her body. The sensation from the now frozen bucket was burning her skin. Her face contoured as a desperate scream tried to come out.

"Now Blake" the brown-haired woman's voice came through "What are you and your new friends doing here?"

"I don't like it and I don't approve it but we'll have to work together" Spider-man said after not being able to argue with the teens anymore.

"YEY!" Ruby celebrated "Uh….. sorry…. Where were we?" The little girl turned a bit red

"The cuffs" Weiss pointed out "No matter what we do, they explode if we break them"

"I may have a solution for that" The arachnid said. Going to his belt he pushed a little pocket. From it he took a little red cartridge.

"Wow….. I didn't know you had gum on you belt. Is it strawberry or cinnamon?" The pink-haired Nora, started

"This is not gum young girl, this is acid webbing. Useful to melt any metallic object in seconds" Said the hero with a bit of pride in his invention

"Oh…. I wanted gum" As hyperactive as Nora could be, she could also get down with little things. Luckily for her, Ren always had her back. Getting closer to her he whispered "Don't worry Nora, I'll buy you some once we finish". Unsurprisingly Nora soon wrapped her arms around him, tightly if I may add. As cute as the scene could be for everyone, the group needed to get focus, so Peter continue

"Ahem…. As I was saying, this acid will melt the sensor on the cuff without the alarms going off".

"Ok that solves one problem, but who is going to do it?" Jaune spoke

"I'll do it" Ren raised his hand "I'm the best when it comes to unarmed combat. No offence Yang but you tend to be a bit… loud"

"Agreed" said Ruby, Weiss and Blake in unison. The blonde just smirked in pride

"I'm also good in unarmed combat Jackie Chang" Spider-man said

"True but for the plan to work, we need to switch places with one of the guards and I don't think you can fit someone else in your suit. Beside, you'll probably need a place to hide acid once they take your belt and those things on your wrist. I, on the other hand, have plenty of space to hide it in my tunic".

Peter stood there considering the idea. If anything, I made sense.

Thanks to Blake earlier accident, Ren had enough time to take the acid and spilled it on his cuffs. Now came the difficult part, subduing the guard. They were going to check the prisoners before changing the security and with just one guard left to do it, this would be his best shoot.

"Everybody facing the wall now!" Ordered the guard as he opened the cell. Everybody turned towards the wall. "Anyone of you move and I'll put a bullet in her head" He said pointing his weapon at Pyrrha. The group of young hunters reminded silent and quiet while the guard searched them. Suddenly a realization came to the Ren's head. The thought of someone else touching Nora's body made his blood boiled. He struggled but calmed down. Concentrating his aura on his left hand he waited. When the guard was about to search him, the teen knocked the guard's weapon with his right hand, throwing it to the ground. The guard was about to attack but Ren surprised him by moving his left palm directly to his enemy's face, grabbing him. The guard tried to struggle but suddenly all of his senses were overcharged by Ren's aura, making him fade and dropped to the ground. For a moment, everyone on team JNPR could breathe but they didn't have time to celebrate. Changing clothes with the guard, Ren was repeating the directions Blake had given him on where the main power supply could be. Everything was clear and now it was time to go. Yet there was still a problem, his long hair. Luck seemed to be on his side however, as the uniform he was wearing had a hoodie where the boy could hide it. Now with his mask put on, the magenta-eyed was about to exit when a grip on his arm stopped him. He turned around to look but before long he felt the well-known touch of Nora's arms wrapping around him. Her face buried in his chest. The girl hugging him could launch and Ursa 20 meters in the air with one arm yet she looks so… fragile to him now.

"Please Ren be careful. I'll break your legs if you get killed!... please….. come back to me". She said the last part just loud enough for him to hear it.

Ren's heart skipped a beat for a moment. His temperature raised and his mind went a millions miles away, for a moment he got quiet. Ren had always been a formal and respectful guy, especially towards Nora but now, his heart was screaming something else.

-Screw it-. He suddenly lifted the girl's chin and for a few seconds their lips connected. The kiss was quick, way too quick for both of them but for the moment, they would have to leave it at that.

"I promise to come back" The boy said looking straight at her eyes. He turned around and walked away, leaving his teammates and a stunned Nora behind.

The pink-haired's heart was now filled with an overwhelming happiness for what had just happened but at the same time a deep fear invaded her, thinking of what she could lose now.

"Ok, so everybody clear so far?" Blake asked

"Yes" was everyone's respond

"Ren do you know where to go?" Blake asked

"Yes. Somewhere in the east wind of the basement I'll find a power source and deactivated" He responded

"Good. The next step would be for a group to descend to the 1ST floor where our weapons should be". The aforementioned nodded

"While they do that another group go and take you out of the interrogation room" Spider-man explained. "And by the way Ren, I'll modify my cartridge so you can easily break it before you escape. Be careful, there is not much left". The hero then turned to Blake "Blake….. are you sure you'll be ok?"

"… Yes" The girl simply said

"… OK" The arachnid stared at her for a moment. "One more question before we go….. Blake…. Who are the Black Cats?"

So far, Ren's mission had been without hiccups. His uniform and his mask covered the majority of his young features, so he was blending with everyone for now. The uniform was a little uncomfortable for him to walk though. The most important thing in his uniform was his electronic card but at the very least he wasn't unarmed. A combat knife rested on his right leg and another was on his back, near his belt. He decided not to carry the guard's gun.

-Hopefully I won't need it- The young man thought. His eyes traveled to the knives almost unconsciously as he walked. This was enough to distract him in that moment, making him bumped with someone. As he turned around to see what had happened, he noticed Felicia starring at him. A few White Fang soldiers were with her, alongside the red head that had escorted them when they entered. Ren's first reaction was to bend down and try to apologize

"I'm sorry madam. I got distracted and didn't notice you there" Felicia just stood there, examining him for a moment. She was about to talk when her scroll rang, shaking her thoughts. She took it and opened it. She seemed to be reading a text and then grunted

"You are lucky I'm busy soldier or I wouldn't be so merciful. Now go and don't look at me again". The woman just continued walking. Her voluptuous hair following her every move.

Though the distance between the group and Ren increased, an essencegot to a certain redhead. She knew she had smelt that aroma before but her memory wasn't helping her. Then it hit her

-No… it can't be… Pretty boy?- She quickly turned around. Her eyes narrowed, looking for the boy somewhere. Hiding in the crowd, Ren disappeared from her gaze.

Ren sighed. -That was close-. A few minutes later, he found himself at some stairs leading to the basement. Before descending, he caught something with the edge of his eyes. As before, several enemy troops were opening wooden crates from which several robots came. This time however, the troops moved to a bigger crate. This one box had the words PALADIN written on the side.

-That doesn't look good… maybe I should…. No….. No time for that now. I have to go to the basement- After passing some more soldiers the doors to the basement were finally ahead. Surprisingly for him, the hall leading to it was deserted so Ren had no trouble going through. He used the key he carried and passed the metallic double-doors. –I guess what Blake said about low security was right-.

The other side of the door showed a dark hall adorned with tubes on the ceiling. An eerie sound, like metal pieces clashing with each other also reached his ears. Once at the end of the hall, Ren discovered a small ladder, leading a floor below. Going down the ladder, he discovered the source of the sound, a hydroelectric machine.

"That's how they managed to stablish themselves here" The boy talked mostly to himself. "But…. There are no water formations here"

"The machine creates electricity through the force a river that goes below this very mountain" a mysterious mountain spoke behind him. Ren immediately turned. "Very clever isn't it?".

On top of the ladder, crouching was the red head. She removed her mask, showing her big red eyes. "I'd recognize your smell everywhere pretty boy". A big grin formed in her face.

From Ren's perspective, there was no point in hiding anymore, so he removed his masked as well, revealing his magenta eyes. He also took his hair out of his hoodie

"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" She the woman jumped up and down as her smiled intensified. "You know… I could just radio Felicia in… but why spoil our private meeting? What do you say, wanna have some private time you and me?".

Ren's response was to adopt a combat position, grabbing both of his knives.

"Oh! I love a man with initiative!" Tell me something handsome, you really think you and your friends can get out of here alive?" Before Ren could blink, the woman jumped out of her position, took a knife and threw it at him. Ren reacted and blocked the attack with a right swing. The red-haired took another knife with her left hand and went for a horizontal strike.

-She is fast- Ren blocked again and was force to retreat. He started to dodge, jumping and crouching to avoid her blade, and then noticed something. -She is taking me away from the machine-

The woman's red eyes got brighter for a moment. Her right hand moved for another slash. Ren tried to duck and though he got unhurt, the blade made contact, cutting a bit his cheek. The woman took the knife and put it near her face "Hmmm…. your blood looks so good…. I want to see more!"

Ren took a stand once again and whipped the blood from his face. "Come and get it"

"Blake…. Who are the Black Cats?" Spider-man asked

"What do you mean by that?" Glynda spoke

"When Blake and company were at the warehouse yesterday night, they encountered a group of female faunus that was checking the place. They called themselves The Black Cats". He responded

Everybody nodded then turned to Blake.

"…." She sighed. "the Black Cats are a mercenary group formed by four women, as Spider-man said. We will probably encounter them so it's better if we all know who we are facing. One of the members is Alina Mikhaliof, an expert in close combat. Famous for her deadly knives. Her eyes and hair are bright red. She is usually very calmed but there is only one thing that changes her personality upside down, blood. Especially her enemy's blood".

"What's her semblance?" Ruby asked

"She possesses the ability to compress air an area until creating a solid fluid, effectively creating shield out of thin air." Blake responded.

The knives were out again. Ren moved forward, going for another close encounter. Each combatants had their mind in the same goal, winning. Soon, sparkles started to appear for mere seconds, as each weapon clashed. Ren was getting closer and closer to the machine but Aline wasn't making it easy for him either. The magenta-eyed threw a horizontal attack but his foe acted quickly. Alina ducked down. That's when it hit Ren, He had left himself exploded. Without missing a beat, the red head jumped and threw a powerful kick to her opponent's stomach. Air left Ren lungs and he was thrown back. He suddenly stopped. His senses were numb and all his thoughts were about recovering his precious air yet he knew something was wrong

-I can't… I can't be this near to a wall- He looked back for a split second. What stopped him was a whitish wall, fluid in the inside like a liquid but hard as a rock upon contact. –Just like that dome in the warehouse- Alina approached him rapidly to deliver another blow. Ren's eyes focused on her for a moment. He was still a little fuzzy but he had to do something.

-Move-

His body wasn't responding

-Move!-

Alina's eyes grew brighter. He still didn't have enough air in his lungs

-GOD DAMMNIT REN MOVE!-

At the last second his legs responded and he was able to barely move away from the attack. He rolled and knelt on his ground, patting and looking at her adversary whose smile just seemed to become more sadistic as they continue fighting. He had to finish the fight soon if he wanted to live. Alina was coming rapidly to him. Ren tried to avoid his foe and get to the machine but he could not. The red-head launched an upward attack with her knee. He saw it coming and moved back. Out of the blue however a blade came out of Aline's knee, ripping through her pants. There wasn't enough space between the weapon and Ren so the blade inevitably made contact with his skin; creating a slash across his abdomen and chest. The young man moved back, putting a hand in his new wound. He watched slowly as his palm and clothing began to get stain with blood.

-Crap… Nora is gonna kill me or this- The boy's body was slightly protected by his uniform, still it hurt as hell.

The battle was coming to a close. Ren knew it. His next moves would determine whether or not he would get to see his friends once again. The woman in front of him didn't give him a chance to think. She attacked once again, using primarily her lower body. In her leg, the blade moved from her knee for her hilt as she moved. She tried and horizontal attack that shredded more her pants. Ren tried to block the attack but his knives were weakened. In no time his only means of defense were rendered uselss after Aline's relentless attacks. By this point, the red-head had destroyed enough of her lower clothing for Ren to fully see what was behind them. Both of Aline's legs were metallic impacts. They looked similar to the legs of the robot they saw earlier. Even so, these were mostly black.

"Sexy aren't they? If you are lucky I may let you touched them" Alina winked.

Now Ren was in a disadvantage. He had no weapons and was starting to feel the effect of losing his blood, his enemy was barely touched and fully armed and he was starting to lose the feeling of his legs.

-Only one option left. This is gonna hurt- He thought as he panted. This was it. The final move. Alina jumped high into the air, extending both her legs. From both came blades. The red-haired started to spin vertically, gaining speed at every second. Her blade formed a circle of death that end the life of anyone who came close to it. Ren wouldn't be able to dodge it, so he would have to take the attack head on. Alina came down hard. Her aim at the magenta-eyed. Her right leg stroke down with incredible force. The attack hit him and her smile grew large at the beginning but then it disappeared. Her leg wasn't advancing. When she looked down, she saw Ren with the blade on his hands. The magenta-eyed had stopped the momentum of her attack transferring a lot of his aura to his palms to be able to catch the blade. He felt the brutal force behind the attack though. Now, it was his time to act. With the momentum gone, Ren grabbed the metallic leg with both hands. All his body hurt and his vision was getting blurred but he still pushed forward. With all his strength, he was able to launched Aline through the air. With the aura he had, he filled his arms with it. As such, a tremendous force was applied to the red-head's legs as she was launched through the air. She tried to concentrate on what to do but the attack had stunned her. She formed an X with her arms and pressed them against her chest. A sphere-like shield formed around her to slow down her speed once she hit a wall. Turning around for a quick look behind, her eyes widen as she saw her landing spot. She was going to the hydroelectric machine. The shield went through the device effortlessly; effectively destroying it. Ren smirked before dropping to his knees. He had accomplished his objective.

On the other side of the facility, Spider-man had been speaking non-stop. Annoying his companion and of course, the two guards that were outside keeping an eye on them.

"Also, there was this time when I found I had a clone of myself. Then there was all this convoluted plan to made me believe I was the clone, which turned out to be a lie of course and then-"

"ENOUGH ALREADY!" One of the guards yelled, getting inside the room. "If I hear one more word coming out of your mouth I swear I'll". He aimed his gun at the hero's face.

"Well, someone seems to be a little touchy today" the arachnid commented. In that moment an alarm went off throughout the whole level and the room got covered with a red light.

"Finally!" With a force not seen before from Glynda, Spider-man broke effortlessly from his chains. His fist traveled fast to the guard in front of him, knocking him out. The other guard outside had little time to react, as the hero was soon giving him a kick to the face.

"Phewww….. Thank goodness Ren turn off the electricity. I was running out of things to talk about" Glynda just stared at him with mix of disbelief and anger. As mad as she could be at him, Peter still approached her. "Are you alright? Do you need a hand?"

The blonde lifted her hands, making emphasis on her chains "If you don't mind". The brunette acted quickly to free her yet he was careful not to harm her. After a few minutes, Glynda was free. "It feels so good not to have those things" She said rubbing her wrists. "Now Spider-man, let's wait for the student's signal".

"Sure thing" they exited their cells. "It should appear just about…. Now" Peter had to thank his extra sense for letting him know a lot about his surroundings. As he expected, the floor above him started to crumble, and a few meters ahead of them a strong strike sent chunks of their ceiling to the ground. Pretty soon, the blonde from team RWBY pooped up her head from the upper floor.

"So, somebody called an elevator?" Yang smirked.

"Yes young lady" The hero greeted her "Thanks for crashing down".

The blonde just smiled "I like you more every time bug-man. Come on hurry up, the others are waiting".

"On it" Following her comment, Peter crouched down in front of Glynda. He turned around, giving her his back and extending his arms to his side.

"Hop on" He ordered

"Sorry what?" The professor asked

"Hop on my back Glynda. I'll help you get to the second floor".

"Look thanks but I-"

"Glynda you can't jump 15 ft in the air without your magic wand, so hop on now" the arachnid spoke louder. His sudden demand took her a bit by surprise but considering everything that was happening, it was a logical decision. Before she noticed, she was already in Peter's shoulder. The latter asked her if she was ready, to what the former responded with a thump up.

Before more guards arrived, the pair was already out of there.

Seeing the unconscious guards inside a cell gave the hero and the professor a good idea of what had happened to the students. They all looked at each other and nodded. Time for Phase two of their plan. They all wished good luck to each other and separated in two groups, with RWY going to rescue Blake and the rest going to look for their weapons.
