We left off with Team RWBY and the others, now lets see what the three member of Team ZERO are up to. Seems they'll be investigating a rumor of an uras faunus? RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 5:Three Uras and A Faunus
Meanwhiile with the remaining team ZERO went to investigate the scene where the grimm and or faunus was last seen at as the team toward the downtown part of Vale.
"Alright this is where the attacks happened but honestly it doens't look like anything happened here."Zane noted as they took a look at what building were attacked. However some of them barely had sustained any damage at all while still being stable.
"Yeah a grocery store here that was attack apprently has everything intack inside and outside. "Eria said which baffled the three
"Well we should start looking around for some clues from the owners around the place. But have your weapons at the ready incase things go south."Zane ordered as the team nodded then split up to various shops.
Rogue went inside a nearby clothing store which was still opened during the saw the owner behind the counter doing normal things.
"Excuse me sir."Rogue replied getting his attention
" can I help you?"he asked
"Actaully me and my team are from Beacon and were investigating the sudden grimm attack that occurs recently in town. Did you see anything that was strange about the grimm you saw."Rogue asked
The man thought for a moment trying to recall the night before then he spoke."Actually yes, there was something different about the grimm. More importantly, those boney masks of theirs. Dreadful things."he replied
"Reallt what was so different about them."She said
The guy then brought out his scroll and played a recording of a security camera he had infront of the store.
"My camera in the front of the store picked this up. Here take a look."he replied as he showed her the recording.
The recording played and she immediately saw that the grimm were Uras but she also saw how different they were. Their mask had deep blue lines going down the mask over a pair of bright green eyes. But it seemed the grimm were working as a group. The recording played a little bit more as she then saw what appeared to be someone riding on the uras majors back. Two green eyes could be seen and they were humming to themselves.
Then the recording came to an end.
"You saw that right."he said, putting his scroll away.
"Yeah . They don't look like normal grimm."Rogue replied
"Anything else you can rember from that night?"She asked
" other looking creature that was with them. It was certainly a female, but she looked like a ten year old. Those things were protecting her like they were her own."he replied
Rogue went over the information that she just gathered."okay whatever this one person is definitely some sort of alpha in this pack. But he said how they're protecting her….maybe like a bear cub?"Rogue thought.
"Thanks for the information."Rogue said
"Good luck on your search and I hope you find what your looking for."the man said as Rogue left the shop.
Meanwhile Zane was exmamining some tracks that were left in the middle of the street. They were a set of uras claws but something was off about them. The claws appeared to be far apart from each other. There was a bigger set of claws in the middle of the street. While on the sides of it were smaller sets of claws.
"Hmmmm the claws in the middle could be the major and the ones on the side are the minor."Zane said to himself.
He walked around examining the claws trying to think why they would be set up like seemed to be grooved into the ground now like it braced it self.
"The only reason someone would do that the one in the middle is holding something valuable. But the ones on the side would be its bodyguards it seems."zane concluded
Back with Eria she was near a security camera connected to a pole. She had a tablet out plugged into the pole. It seemed to be hacking into the security camera she did her sister rogue joined her.
"Hey eria find anything yet?"Rogue said walking over.
"I'm about to….i'm hacking into the CCTV footage over here."Eria replied
"Ummm isn't that against the law….we could get in trouble for that?"Rogue said
Eria laughed when the tablet dinged."hmm we are on official huntress business. Were just using our resources around us to help us track our can thank our friend Ame from Haven."Eria replied
Soon she pulled up a video feed of the footage of the night before. It went on for a good seven minutes through it she got a better look at the grimm and faunus as well.
"Holy crap its real!"Rogue yelled with Eria shushing her.
The grimm faunus seemed to be an uras with almost ghostly white skin and short brown hair. On its arms was black fur similiar to the uras that over most of her forearms and hands. Her hands looked similar to bear paws but human shaped. This also went for her legs that were mainly covering her bottom part of her legs. She was wearing what appeared to be a ruined patient's gown or something colored white. It was dirty and covered with grey and black flith. A very noticable trait was her bear ears on her head. Along with a bone-like mask covering her eyes with small fangs on them. Behind the mask was a pair of bright green eyes. She also had very long claws and sharp claws on her arms and feet.
Then in the recording some people tried to stop her but only for them to be intercepted by the two uras minors. They intimidated them by standing on their two legs roaring. Which scared the people away but they never attacked it seems. They were protecting her it seems. On the back of the uras major was some various types of food from a grocery store and various plant life.
The girl was humming to herself as she made some type of growling noise. With the uras heading toward the exit of the city.
The two carefully looked at it, rewinding some of it.
"I don't think she's attacking people more like….scavenging. But for what?"Eria pondered.
"Maybe for hibernation or something, thats alot of food to keep yourself fed for a while."Rogue added
Eria disconnected the tablet from the pole"let's meet back up with Zane and see what we can come up with."Eria said.
After about fifteen minutes the three met up sharing their information.
"So what did you two find out?"Zane asked
"Well I found out the supposed person amongst them is being treated like a bear cub it seems. Rogue replied
"Yeah well that 'it' you mentioned is actually and I can't believe im saying this….is a faunus."more importantly a female uras grimm faunus."Eria added
'Hmm well if she went through the same experiment as me. There was a chance she went through a different procedure. But another thing I found was how they were grouped."Zane said
"What do you mean?"Rogue asked with crossed arms
"They were spread out like they were some type of caravan. The minor on each side with the major in the middle. Maybe your right about them protecting her."Zane added
"Along with that she stoll a bunch of groceries and seeds it seems. I'm wondering if shes trying to prepare for winter or something."Eria added
Just then a roar could be heard near them. They all turned in the direction of the roar expecting an attack.
"I think out culprits back for another food run."zane said reading one of his swords mercy and a revolver called malice
The other two also brought out their weapons as Eria ready her leveraction shotgun named tundra.
Rogue readied her axe inferno pressing a separating and collapsing them into single ended axes.
The three of them waited for what seemed like hours as the sounds of roaring got closer. Soon enough two uras minors came around the corner. Along with a bigger one in the back being the major with a girl on its back.
But what was strange was that they had piece of clothing on them. A minor uras had on a purple scarf wrapped around its neck. While the second which seemed a little smaller compared to the other two, had a little hat on its head. While the uras major had what seemed to be a large saddle on its back.
There on its back was the little girl faunus humming tapping the majors back.
"Looks like we got company."Rogue said readtying her axes for a fight.
"Whats the plan leader?"Eria asked aiming her shotgun.
"We could take the grimm out but we could also reason with her maybe. Although that may be hard with the uras guarding her. "Zane said
"Then what do we do kill them or reason with them."Eria asked
An idea poped in Zane head"We take one dance partner each. You two deal with the uras minors i'll deal with the major and the faunus grimm."zane said with the two nodding.
Rogue went for the uras with the hat while Eria went for the one with a scarf. Zane walked over sheathing his sword but hiding his pistol behind his back.
The faunus grimm noticed him then began to speak"hello can you please move mister i'm just getting some groceries for tonight."The girl said happily.
"Really well then can I ask you why you're with a bunch of grimm?"Zane asked, walking slowly over.
As he did the uras major growled at him to stop and to stay where he was which he did. Eria and Rogue slowly made it to the minors. The girl stared at the three"your here to take me away like the bad man did."the said
Zane put his hands in the air waving them"No,no,no were actually huntsmen we deal with grimm and we were tasked to eliminate the grimm here.''Zane said then relizing what he just said.
"Oh great job zane nows shes going to think were going to kill her."Eria commented
The faunus grimm ears perked up at the mention of being killed then made a noise for the uras minors to get infront of her. "So your here to hurt me like the bad men in the white coats did"She said with anger
"White coats…..what do you mean…."Rogue asked before the uras minor with a hat charged at her roaring. Rogue ready her axes to block its attack. The uras swung its claws down at her but Rogue blocked it. Her aura did take a good hit from it but she was alright.
The second one with a scarf rushed at Eria standing on its two feet. The bear raised its paws ready to stomp on her. But Eria fired a few shells from her shotgun at it. With every shot she twirled it backwards unlaoded the spent shells. The uras with a scraf froze a little. But it shrugged it off continuing to charge at her.
Eria tried to dodge the next slash but it smacked her into a wall nearby. A large crack could be heard and Eria groaned in pain.
"Eria! You okay sis?"Rogue asked, swinging her axes at her opponent. Then she pressed a button and the axe then seemed to extend slightly. Then a whiring noise could be heard and the axe began to spin in a large circular motion. She tired to hit the Uras but it's armor was too thick for her axe.
Eria slowly got up cracking her back"yeah but…."she cracked her back."i'm going to need to a chiropractor after this."Eria said
Zane was firing his dual reovlers malice at the uras major. As the major was approaching him it shrugged Zane bullets like it was nothing. The girl was still on top of the major making noises every once in the while. As she did the uras seemed to try and stick close to the girl. But they were slowly separating from her to deal with them.
The uras major smacked Zane to the side slightly. He landed hard on the ground and hit his shoulder pretty hard. As he tried to get up he felt like he got the wind knocked out of him."Dam that hurt….arghh."Zane said rubbing his arm.
Rogue created a small pool of lava. Then she shot seveal rock-like spikes toward the uras with a hat. It pierced it skins causing an injury it seems. The faunus grimm took note of this, making a growling noise to call her pack back. The scarf uras backed up from eria as it got close to finish her off.
The girl got off the major back looking at the smaller uras wound. She examined it and touched it with a look of anger on her face. Then she turned back to the others yelling"How dare you!."she said growling.
The three regrouped thinking of their next they did the Uras minor got back up making a noise before shaking it self. Then the grimm faunus got back the majors back. Zane then holstered his pistols then taking out his large katana.
"So whats the plan they keep protecting her and their armor is too thick."Rogue asked
Zane looked around noticing the girl was just sitting their not strapped to anything. Early when the major attack him it only attacked him on all fours. It could have done more damage if it was on both feet but it dind't. The girl must need to stablize herself their so it could protect her.
"I got an idea where to go with the slingshot,"Zane said.
"The what?"Eria asked, looking at him confused.
Zane then transferred into his armor form covering himself head to toe. Then he held his sword ready, the twins understood what he meant.
"Ok I see what you're doing…."Eria relzied turning her weapon into a bat again.
Rogue smiled, combing her axes into one large she created a pool of lava. Then she made a small ramp from the lava making a rock like then frooze the ramp over then made a small ice path from their to them a little bit aways.
The faunus grimm looked at them confused while the two minors walking foward to intercept them. Zane knelt down near the beginning of the ice track. Eria was behind him with her bat at the ready.
"You ready leader,"Eria said, adjusting her grip to her bat.
"Yep…ready when you are….little icicle.''Zane said smuggly.
Eria seemed to get anger at the mention of that nickname Neptune gave her. She then brought her bat back swinging as hard as she can into Zane back. Zane was launched sliding on the ice to the ramp. The uras minor were trying to intercept him.
But Eria threw her bat that was now frozen over into the one with the scarfs face stunning it. While Rogue tackled the one with the hat side. She launched it into a building causing bricks to fall on top of it.
Zane then was launched into the air heading straight for the major. It lifted it self slightly in the air. The grimm faunus fell back a little holding onto it. As Zane got close to the major he went above it. Then he grabbed the grimm faunus by the shirt pulling it off the uras major.
Zane now had the girl in her hands giving a thumbs up to his teammates."Alright kid…..i need you to call off your bear friends alright. Then we can….."Zane said before the faunus grimm bite him.
It wasn't doing much too him since he was in his armor form. "Sorry kid their nothing getting through that."Zane said to her.
Then she let out an ear splitting roar in front of him. Seeming to be like a child crying mixed with a bear roar. Eria and Rogue fell to their knees covering their ears. While Zane dropped the girl which caused her to take some damage. Her body flickered a little with a light green aura emitting from her.
"She….has a….aura…how?"rogue asked confused covering her ears still.
"I don't….know…arghh my ears"Eria added
Zane held his ears and soon his armor form started to fall off slowly. He covered his ears to try and avoid the ear splitting screech from the girl. As he did the uras major went to the girl. It sniffed her and the girl rubbed its noise smiling. Then she got back onto its back while the one with the scarf was getting near Eria ready to kill her.
The one in the hat emerged from the rubble with bricks falling off of it. Then it got close to Rogue ready to bite down on her. As the faunus girl got close while on the major uras back. She looked down at Zane smiling with a face that makes her say she won.
She then motioned for the major to crush Zane and the uras ready its then Rogue called out to Eria."Eria you alright sis?"Rogue said
But Eria was on her back covering her ears still with the backlash from the girls semblance. Then the faunus grimm stopped after hearing Rogue call Eria sister. She looked at the two making a growling noise to ordered the uras to stop. Then the two uras minor regrouped with the girl forming their little pack again.
"We need to leave. Before more bad people come…"the grimm faunus said with the uras and her riding off into the exit of the city.
Once she was out of range they all picked themselves up from the ground and tried to figure out what just happened.
"Okay anyone want to tell me what just happened"Zane asked picking himself up off the ground.
"Yeah she let out some sort of shriek that stunned us. I felt my aura drain away it seems even."Rogue said
Eria got up rubbing her neck"hmmm yeah but why did she stop…she had us completely at her mercy."Eria said which confused them.
"Well….she stopped when rogue called out to you I think."Zane suggested
"Maybe she had a sibling or something that she cares about…..I don't know just a thought"Zane added
"Hmm….maybe but she ran off. I don't think we'll see her for a while now."Eria said
"Alright we better…."Rogue began but then her scroll rang. It was from Onxyia.
"Oh hey Onxyia whats.."she began but was immediately cut off by said girl.
"No time to chat we've got a giant problem and we need some help. Meet us at the highway and hurry!"Onxyia shouted as the link was disconnected.
Silence came to the team as Zane broke the ice."well….that sound s bad we better move out."He replied as the headed toward the highway.
About ten minutes the three had finally made it to the highway and already things were getting out of hand. Onxyia and Sun were currently on top of two vehciles with some giant battlesuit attacking them as it fired its energy at them.
"We've got to get up their now."Zane said readying his weapons.
"Hold up i'm really winded from the fight with her my aura starting to feel low."Eria said
"Alright you hang back then, you did take a pretty big hit from the uras early. If anything you need to help,go make sure no people get caught in the crossfire. I still got some aura left, rogue you help her make sure no one gets hurt alright. "Zane ordered
"Gotcha" Rogue replied understanding with a mock salute.
"Alright be careful up there…..."eria added as they headed off in another direction away from the fighting.
Zane looked upwards to wear the fight was. "Welp time to start climbing"Zane said turning into his armor form. Then he dug his hands into the wall and started to climb his way up the side of the highway. As he did some rubble came down and he moved out of the way holding onto the wall with one hand.
He looked up continuing to make his way up the wall and eventually he got the top. But right as he did a car was launched at him. Zane caught the car and it moved him really close to the edge. As he got close he felt his feet running out of room to stand on. Then he managed to stop himself putting the car.
Zane noticed the mech near the end of the highway. Then he had an idea, he started to run forward with the car. Once he got a little close he threw the car at the mech with it being distracted. The battlesuit got hit and it caused it to stagger and fall off the edge of the highway.
"Hey tin man you're here"Sun replied which Zane gave a thumbs up.
"Alright what are we dealing with?"Zane questioned
"That's a 290 paladin battesuit but looks to be in a prototype stage."Onxyia replied
"How do you know that?"Zane aksed
"Weiss told us it's Atlas tech."Sun said then the roar of an engine coming at them could be heard. It turns out to be Yang and Neptune.
"Everyone okay?"Neptune asked
"Yeah except for the giant battlesuit trying to kill us peachy."Sun said
"Aw man you guy's been having all the fun without me…for shame"Yang complained
"Sorry next time we fight a walking tank we'll let you know."Zane countered
"Where is Blake?"Yang asked
"Shes busy fighting with her ex over their."Onxyia replied.
Meanwhile Blake was fighting adam and they were exchanging blow Blake used her semblance to create a ice copy. Adam backed up firing his sheathe at the copy shattering it. Then he picked up swinging his sword at Blake. Blake blocked each strike then lifted her leg for a swift kick.
Adam blocked it with his forearm then he kicked her to the side. Blake turned her weapon into a pistol firing several shots at he blocked them with his sword while dodging a few. They continued to exchange blow several times. Blake used her ribbon to wrap Adam wrist but he twisted himself freeing his arm.
Onxyia then opened her scroll and entered a passcode. Almost in seconds a locker slammed down near her as it then opened revealing her weapon.
She grabbed her glaive then loaded in some dust on each end of the blade. It then ignited with a press of the button. Their was a blue hue on one end and a yellow hue on the other end.
"Alright lets do this."Onxyia said
The five of them jumped down with Blake and Adam following suit to continue their fight below.
"You kids are really starting to annoy me you know. You'll never stop the progress of the White Fang!"A voice from the inside shouted at them.
"Its being piloted?"Yang said surprised.
"Yeah not doubt it's that guy that was with the leader named Tarrus we saw him at the gathering"Sun said as he brought out a staff from behind him collaps.
"He's his lituennant and a rotten bastard"Onxyia added with her weapon ready.
"Well then let's cripple them entirely by dealing with him and the guy in the mech"Zane added
"I like to see your try."Ollie shouted as he fired energy shots from the guns. They all scattereed trying not to get shot as they took cover from behind the pillars that were underneath the bridge holding the highway.
Blake was busy fighting Adam on some scaffolding exchanging blows.
"Dam hes got some serious fire power."Yang shouted out.
"We have to disable the guns that way he can't fire them!"Zane called out.
"Easier said than done!"Neptune shouted, wishing didn't leave his weapon back at Beacon.
Zane looked at him, unholstered one of his revolvers, tossing it over to him, along with a pouch full of bullets.
Neptune caught it then grabbed the pouch"thanks I owe you one."Neptune said
"Hey just make sure they're not busted after we're done"Zane replied moving his head as the pillar was shot.
As they tried to find out a way to disable them a shot had rang out but it wasn't from the mech. It sounded like a high cailber bullet as it hit one of the eergy guns barrels causing it to expldoe disabling it.
"Huh?where that come from?"sun asked
Yang looked up chukcling"I think I know."
A streak of red petals filled their vision as Ruby appeared thanks to her semblance with Weiss close behind.
"Sorry we're late."ruby smiled
"Is everyone alright?"Weiss asked
"Now with you guys here yeah…..we are"Onxyia said breathing a sigh of relief.
Ruby and weiss took a look at the mech suit in front of them with glaring looks.
"Where Blake?"ruby asked then from above Blake landed right next to them.
"Oh yeah ,Blake, where's your dance partner?"Sun asked
"Still above me we have to deal with him."Blake said growling.
"I'll deal with him, you guys deal with Ollie"Onxyia said, climbing up to Adam with the help of her glaive.
Blake tired to stop her but ruby called her over."Blake,Weiss checkmate, Yang Fire flower."Ruby ordered with a nod weiss and blake charged at it with them crossing each other in different directions while Yang and Ruby hung back and fired at the robot.
"Give them cover Neptune"Zane ordered
With a quick nodd Neptune rolled out of covering firing off several different dust shots with Malice. He stepped in between the sisters firing at the mech. Meanwhile Zane deicded to assist Blake and Weiss as they climbed one of the pillars and then jumped from pillar to pillar.
"Zane! I want you to jump toward it!"Weiss called out.
"Yes Ma'am,!"Zane replied, heading toward them running.
Just then the mechsuit leaned forward a bit then a mechanical sound came from its back.
"Take this!"he shouted from inside and fired rockets at the three.
Zane then jumped surpignly not being splattered on the pavement. He then turned into his armor form slowly.
That was when Weiss triggered her smeblance and with a wave of her hand a glyph appeared below Zane. He stood on it as more appeared in front of him.
"Glyphs?''Zane questioned as he stared at Weiss then relziing.
"Oh right she is a Schnee and they have inherited semblance."He thought as Zane looked at the path before him, then charged ahead using the Glyphs weiss summoned as a stepping stone.
Then with another wave of her hand Weiss summoned two glyphs to her side but they were blue as they fired multiple ice shards at the rockets destroying them on contact.
That gave Zane an opportunity to land a blow on the mechsuit as he swung at it. It didn't damage it much but it caused him to stumble.
"Why you little brat I'll kill you for this!?"Ollie shouted inside the machine.
Blake stared up at Onxyia then whislting too her. Onxyia turned who was still fighting Adam. She smiled then lifted her right hand blinding him. Then she lifted her left leg swiftly kickin him off the side toward Blake. Adam landed near them with his aura flashing and taking most of the hit. But he was still kicking,Blake then switched with her taking on Adam.
Adam was slowly geting back up picking his weapon with Blake e rushing him. He blocked it with his sheath. Then he kicked her away with Blake holding her side.
"Why Adam….why are you doing this? Your ruining what we believed in for years"Blake asked
"Those peaceful protests were getting us nowhere in life. But with the technology we've acquired we can snuff out those human pests. Then our brothers and sisters can be treated as equals."Adam said smiling.
Blake looked at him with hatred"Oh and we should just kill off an entire race. Thats not progress Adam….thats genocide."Blake said readying her Gambol Shroud.
"Your weak My Darling, always carrying for others like that dear sister of yours…..you should have left her she was weak."Adam told her but he looked away for some reason clenching his fist.
Blake looked away then back at him with daggers in her got in a stance readyed to fight her and so did she. Both rushed at each other delivering a flurry of strikes and slash at each other. Blake kept using her clones to try and stun him. But Adam knew her all too well but dodging the clones and not stirking them. While continuing to slash at her.
Meanwhile Onxyia then joined the others staring at Ollie in the machine or more like the cockpit. She clenched her fist then remembered the day he snuffed out a little girl's life and what happened to Ben.
"OLLIE WEAVER!"Onxyia roared getting his attention.
"Well,well so this is where you've been hiding little wolf."Ollie said inside the mechsuit.
However Onxyia just stared at him.
"What you did….back in Vacou….it unforgivable and you'll pay for it!."Onxyia shouted
"That little kid was getting nowhere in life. I offered her a purpose and she rejected my offer. If she wasn't with us she was against us….so i had to eliminate her."Ollie replied laughing
At first Onxyia didn't say anything but then something happened. Onxyia smiled rubbing the end of her glaives blade in a happy way. Then a small chuckle could be heard before turning into giggling then full on laughter but it wasn't the normal kind of laughter as Onxyia was covering her right eye.
"You know Ollie, I'm glad you're here."Onxyia said, twirling her weapon Divine Judgement.
"um…Onxyia…are you oky?''Ruby asked worried about what she was doing but Onxyia didn't pay her any mind.
"Cause now…"Onxyia said, brushing her hair past her right eye to reveal a yellow colored eye.
"I'm going to kill you.''she says this in a dark and meancing voice as her eyes narrowed which got the rest to shudder as Onxyia's personality took a different turn.
Zane watched his teammate that he knew, the quiet girl who seemed to care about her family and seemed always relaxed. But replaced with a vengufyl person willing to kill someone and not care about the consequences.
"Onxyia…..just how long have you been suffering?"Zane asked himself as he saw his teammate ready to kill the person inside the mechsuit. Onxyia look like she was going to enjoy every minute of it.
Welp...seems like she snapped. Who would blame her because she seems out for blood now. And that uras faunus seems to be connected to some mysterious scientist experimenting with grimm. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and see you next time!
