AN: Here's the breach.

Chapter 25

Yang's ears rang and her legs felt like jelly. What happened? Once the bells in her head stopped she remembered, that bitch with the two-color hair had beaten her. How was she alive? A woman in a Grimm mask, some kind of portal, and black hair ok so some spooky woman saved her life. She thought harder, she remembered the team coming together and the dead-end approaching then the train started wrapping around them. Pyrrha! She must have bent the metal around them to protect them.

"ang…Yang! YANG! Get it together we have a big problem here." The voice of Weiss cut through her thoughts.

"Ugh, my head." Yang looked around and saw smoke and sunlight feeling the tunnel. "I've woken up in worse places." She joked.

"Time and place, also that was just bad you dolt. The Grimm ran for the exit we have to stop them." Weiss hit Yang's shoulder.

"Right."

"Good looks like Miss. Xiao Long is up and ready to go. We must hurry let us go." Oobleck pulled out his thermos and made his way up the rubble to the exit with swift jumps.

"Pyrrha is going to need a second you two go up fist and we'll follow you." Blake looked at the tired girl. Yang and Weiss nodded.

"Thanks, Blake," Pyrrha looked up to the Faunus she winced at the light.

"You shouldn't have pushed yourself like that. Are you sure you can fight? I could wait for a moment and get you to a safe zone." Blake offered.

"No, I'll be fine." Pyrrha pushed herself up and took a canteen from her pouch and took a drink. "This is my fault I wasn't quick enough." She started climbing up towards the exit.

"Pyrrha…"


"I'm sure they're fine Ruby. Blake probably just misplaced her book." Jaune reasoned. Ruby had been worried all night when Blake just lost connection. They were on their way to another class in the Hanger.

"Maybe…" As they passed the courtyard alarms start Ringing and in the distance they see smoke.

"HOLY SHIT!" Jaune sprinted to get a better view. "Somethings not right!"

"Vale is in trouble we need to help!" Ruby agreed. Jaune spun around and started sprinting towards the bullheads while pulling out his scroll and called for his locker then called Ren.

"Ren there was a large explosion in vale where are you?" Jaune listened. "Damnit! See if you can do something on your end Ruby and I are at the Bullheads we'll meet you down there!"

"What's going on?!" Ruby asked as their lockers landed and they grabbed their weapons.

"Ren's in the Hanger already training with Nora, he'll meet us down there." Jaune pulled out his headgear and slipped the mask on. Ruby and he boarded the bullhead. "Hey, we need to get to Vale yesterday!"

As they spoke three people looked over at the smoke. "You don't think it's…" the mint-green-haired girl started to ask.

"Knowing him Emerald probably." Mercury shrugged.

"That's not supposed to happen for days. What do we do Cinder?"


Ren's GM caught Nora's fist and he turned the fight into a grapple, just then his Scroll went off from Jaune and he signaled for a pause as he answered the scroll. He wish he hadn't, something or someone was attacking Vale and Jaune and Ruby were going to help. He opened the Comms to Nora and the Hanger.

"Vale is under attack! Alarms are sounding outside and there's been a large explosion." Ren spoke up. The clatter of the Hanger stopped as the Court checked their scrolls and mechanics went and prepared for a potential sortie.

"Is it bad?" Nora asked softly.

"I'm not sure," Ren replied. "Don't worry That won't happen again." He started up a launch sequence, it would take too long to exit and change out of his pilot suit and he was determined to help this time no matter what. Sterling signaled and the other Courts ran to suits.

"We've been asked to help refugees, kids, you can either come with us or stay here." He said over Comms. Ren figured helping refugees was the right and it meant he could be close to the battle. Who would complain if he went on the offensive to help them?

"We'll help! Right, Renny?" Nora answered for him.

"Of course," Ren replied.

"Good we leave in t-minus five, hope you had two had large breakfasts cause we aren't stopping for lunch," Sterling said as he turned to his suit.

"You realize they are going to go off on their own as soon as they get an opening right?" Noah asked his command in their squad comms.

"Of course I do. It will be a good show for these suits and as long as they help even one person they have technically done their job." Sterling explained.

"Sometimes I wonder why the General made you the commander." Robyn sighed. The hanger opened and the Courts plus Nora and Ren launched into motion.


Yang propelled herself towards the nearest group of Grimm launching multiple blasts thinning out the ranks until a nevermore through her off course with its feathers but she used that momentum and landed on a pile of rubble that was once a clothing store. She used her semblance to help lift the sign using it as a barricade to stop some Ursas from pouncing on her and in a quick motion she swung the sign bashing the Ursa into another group that was quickly frozen by Weiss's Glyphs.

Pyrrha quickly caught a Beowulf off-guard and used her xiphos to behead it before switching it into a javelin and cathing another in the back before it could attack Blake. Blake flipped over the group of Grimm in front of her scoring a few kills as she fired her weapons gun. Pyrrha barely dodged the whitehead of King Taijitu the blackhead hissed and launched at her she braced her shield preparing to get struck. As the head lurched forward it was shot twice and reared its head back.

"Nice shot Rubes! Now it's my turn." She turned her head to see Jaune in his Char mask and red breastplate and Ruby who swung her weapon out turning it into a scythe. Jaune launched forward ducking the whitehead's strike and bringing his ax down hard severing the black one.

"Jaune? Ruby? How?" She questioned getting to her feet before twisting around with an uppercut piercing her javelin tough a Beowulfs lower jaw.

"Kinda hard to miss the giant smoke tower." Jaune withdrew his sword changing the ax back to a shield and slammed the hilt into it getting attention from the surrounding Grimm.

"Yup. And what kind of friends would we be…" Ruby bifurcated a boarbatusk. "If we didn't help out."

"Hey, Ruby!" Yang jumped from the rubble and blew a hole in an Ursa as she spun towards her sister. "Miss me?"

"Stop messing around Yang we can talk later!" Weiss summoned an ice blade taking out some Beowulves.

"Right Grimm first talk later."


The GMs and Zakus landed on the edge of the contested zone and they quickie created a barricade and fired upon some curious Grimm. An atlas flyer landed and Team CVFY came out with some of the teachers and the battle started turning in their favor. Ren noticed a large group of Grimm converging and with his camera, he could make out bright blonde hair and bright red hair, it was his team! He jumped over the barricade and quickly tore a path through with his heat rod and spray gun.

"You all ok?" He asked over his speaker.

"Yup./ Good to see ya, man./ Finally./ Cutting it a little short Ren." Pyrrha, Yang, Weiss, and Blake replied.

"Good to see you, Ren," Jaune smirked.

"Now let's show them what the White Devil can do," Amuro said.

"Don't let those two outdo us," Char told Jaune.


"Good they're all safe." Amuro let out a relieved sigh. He took the drink offered from Char and the alcohol burned on the way down.

"That battle was awful. Though doesn't something about the event feels off." Char commented.

"I don't know. It feels like something that was thought out but at the same time not." Amuro thought about it.

"Almost like the event was premature?" Char offered.

"Exactly!" Amuro sat up straight. "Think about it Char, in a little over a month the festival will begin there will be people from all over coming to watch! If this happened during that then the amount of fear and darker emotions would skyrocket."

"That would draw even more Grimm and then all it could take would be one more push and a swarm would attack." Char's face grew grim.

"Someone's behind this I just know it." Amuro slammed the glass on the floor.


Jaune and Ruby were holding back laughter while Blake grumbled about dog hair and drool all over her bed. Nora was dancing around saying the Grimm stood no chance against her while Zwei tried jumping onto Blake. After that hectic battle, it was good to relax for a bit. Jaune held Ruby close as they laid down and just enjoyed each other's company.

"We did a good thing today," Ruby mumbled.

"You were amazing out there," Jaune told her. "Your mom would be proud of how far you've come."

"You think so?" She asked.

"I know so. *Yawn* Let's stay like this for a bit before we help Blake." Jaune yawned.

"*Yawn* Zwei is a good boy." Ruby yawned as well and shortly after both fell asleep in each other's arms.


"That finishes my report sir." Sterling saluted the general.

"Good your prediction was spot on Colonel. With this, the council will accept the increase in the mobile suit budget, and companies might very well choose them over Paladins." Ironwood sat at his desk looking over the newscast that featured the GM Lie Ren piloted.

"It will be a needed blow against that blowhard Schnee. No offense to the specialist." Serling clarified.

"Indeed. You may go." Ironwood watched the Colonel leave. "Schnee bring in our guest."

"Right away sir." Within a minute Winter was escorting a handcuff Roman Torchwick.

"So you claim to have information on a larger plot? What do you want?" Ironwood asked.

"Simple I want a pardon for all I've done." The criminal smirked.


"Now do you see what I mean about those machines!?" Mercury asked with a sense of satisfaction. They tore through Grimm like paper.

"Shut up for a second." Cinder hissed. "Yes, new machines that are not on your report at all. Not that I can see. Yes, I put the bug in they must be something new. Ok, we'll get one for you so you can see what makes them tick." She hung up her scroll and scowled.

"So?" Emerald asked.

"You're getting your wish Mercury one of my colleagues wants one of those machines." Cinder turned to the smiling teen. "That doesn't mean your right!"

"Whatever you say, Your Majesty." Mercury bowed and left the room to start making his own plans.


A red blade severed a Grimms head and a red-haired bull looked at the new report. "Hmm, interesting."

AN: VOLUME 2 IS COMPLETE! Time to celebrate. Now onto volume three. What are you all looking forward to the most?
