Its a new chapter and last we left off with Team ZERO it was them returning to Vale with a grimm faunus. But it seems that when they were returning the city is under attack. They'll need to rely on their allies to assit them. RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 18:Grimm Party

The airship flew as fast as it could trying to make up for the lost time as it sped toward Vale City Capital. Everybody on board was holding on to something just to make sure none of them fell out of the aircraft they were on. Eria held onto Piper to make sure the girl didn't fall out.

"How much further?!"Zane called out with the wind rushing into his face.

"Shouldn't be much further now!"Port called back hoping they make it on time.

Rogue then thought of something making an opportunity to call some people.

"What are you doing Rogue?!"Eria asked

"Calling Cardin maybe we can get in contact with other people at the school."Rogue replied

"Good idea I'll send Neo a text"Zane said, getting his scroll out. As he sent the text he told her that there is a grimm attack coming and be sent a message back with a smiley face and a thumbs hesitated for a minute before sending it though but she seemed to believe it.

While this happened Rogue scroll rang ad finally connected.

"Hey Rogue whats up?"Cardin on the other end replied

"Cardin get your team and head to the capital of Vale now!"she called out having to shout

"Whoa there. Whats going on is something happening? And what do you mean get to the capital?"cardin asked

"There will be a grimm attack happening there. Stop asking so many questions and just get their to back up Rubys team. Were heading their ourselves."Rogue replied

"Alright. I'll get Jaunes teams and any other team avaible."cardin replied

"Thanks man I owe you one."Rogue added

"No problem fire starter see ya their."cardin added before sighing off

In the back Vance looked at them before sending a text message to Roman. He told him to stay out of sight and to make sure no grimm appeared near the hideout.

Meanwhile back at Beacon Jaune and his team were about to head out for their assigned mission when Cardin and his team stopped theme before they took off. Along with Cinders team and CVFY cocos team.

"Hey guys hold up a second."Cardin called out stopping the team.

"Is something the matter cardin?" you seem in the hurry and why are they with you."jaune said

"We just got message from team ZERO about a grimm attack on Vale City need to change course and head their immediately."Cardin replied

"Yeah same here Neo showed us a message from Zane saying to hurry over there too."Mercury added showing the scroll message.

"Are you all certain about this? How do you know there will be one?"Pyrrha asked

However thats when Jaune thought about something for a moment"You know….yesterday Ruby contacted me but I got cut off by some interference. Maybe something might have happened to her group when they were on their mission."Jaune suggested

This also got Ren thinking as well"You have a point. Ruby wouldn't call unless something happened."ren replied thoughtfully

Just then sirens went off at Beacon Academy as they blared to life.

"All students who haven't left for their assignment please return inside the academy"Ozpin voiced echoed throughout the school.

"Looks like theirs is our answer to that question"Nora replied. Then Pyrrha noticed some smoke coming from a distance that was in Vale city.

"Um Jaune you might want to take a look."Pyrrha pointed out toward the smoke.

"Thats coming from Vale."Jaune relied as he looked on.

"So whats the plan leader?"nora asked as the rest waited for him to give an order.

He thought for a moment before he spoke"Alright we better get out their and help them. If Rubys team is their they'll need back up."he then turned to Cardin.

"You get your team their too. We'll need all the help we can get."Jaune replied

"Got it."Cardin said before turning toward his team.

"Alright guys time to kill some grimm"Cardin said as they headed toward a nearby bullhead.

"We'll come too, we did just get back but…my favorite clothing stores over there so yeah."Coco said as her and her team headed toward a nearby fist bump Fox as they got inside.

"You guys coming to?"Ren asked the cinder team.

Cinder looked for a moment before nodding in agreement with them. "Were coming to something doesn'tseem right….it's like this was planned."she noted

"Yeah I agree let's go into the frying pan and into the fire.''Mercury said with Emerlad and Neo joining him onto a nearby bullhead along with Cinder.

"We better get there too. Can't let them have all the fun."Nora said as they headed to the bullhead near them.

"pliot .Take us toward the city."Jaune ordered as they entered the bullhead then the pilot took off with another with Cardins,Cinders and Coco teams. All four teams flew toward the capital.

Meanwhile in the city the train already broke through and made a large hole in the middle of the city. While Team RWBY took the sides of the large square in the middle surrounded by different kinds of grimms. There were many of them including Uras to Beowolfs and even a king Taijtu with its two heads looking toward the small group.

"Where is Oobleck?"Weiss questioned as she gripped her gunblade tight, watching the grimm carefully.

"He said he went to cover the perimeter. Hopefully the guy has better luck than we are."Blake said, gripping her Gambol Shroud.

"What's the plan here little sis?"Yang asked, ready for the fight to break out.

Ruby looked on seeing the amount of grimm there were and then noticed the hole the grimm was still coming out of.

"For now we have to focus on containment. Keep the grimm back as much as we can."ruby said.

"Blake use your quickness and semblance to get past any uras and take them out one by one but lead them away from the battle. "Ruby ordered as Blake nodded at this.

"Yang the beowolfs may not look like much but they are quick and fast. Your weapon can hit from long range too. Light those grimm up and don't be afraid to go all crazy on them but make sure none of us are in the area okay."ruby ordered as Yang knocking smashing her fist together.

"Weiss your glyphs will help you stay mobile but you can also prevent them from moivng. Keep them back and reduce them to ash"Ruby said with Weiss nodding her weapon.

"I'll hit the roofs and call out patterns to everyone. Remember those earpieces I gave you girls incase we got separated lets use them."Ruby replied as she place one into ear and the others did as well.

"Lets go!"ruby shouted as the grimm charged the grimm.

Ruby had managed to slip past the grimm thanks to her semblance as she kneeled on a nearby rooftop as she took aim at the King Taijtu. Blake did as asked and when an uras tired to swipe at her she used her smebalnce to evade as it only hti a shadow which gave her the opportunity to slip past it and got behind it as she switch to her gun mode and fried as it gets its attention.

The grimm roared as the other gave chase to the cat faunus to get it away from the group just as ruby planned.

Yang punched the air letting out a blast of energy as a beowulf charged at her only to get blasted back by her atack. However when one got close it lunged at her trying to go for the kill but Yang respodned with an uppercut hitting it directly in the gut sending it back toward the other group of beowolfs knocking them down.

Weiss sidestepped a grimm and struck it slicing directly above its neck killing it instanly. An uras tried to attack her but weiss predicted this and activated her semblance as a black glyph appeared underneath it holding it in place. With a flick of her wrist the black glyph turned in the opposite direction and launched it toward the grimm that was coming t her.

Weiss then summons four white glyphs to her side and fired a large barrage of ice shards at them killing each of them.

"Blake you got some grimm coming toward you."Ruby said through the ear piece ntoicng the grimm chasing after Blake

"I know got any suggestion?"blake said through the ear piece

"They can't turn very well."ruby began before not even looking a grimm tired to get her from behind as it lunged at her but Ruby already predicted that and in one fluid motion whipped her gun back behind her and fired at the grimm killing it instantly.

"Find a tighter corner"ruby ordered

"Roger that."blake replied

With Blake following what ruby said and finding a tight corner knowing that the grimm can't turn that well. She then switched her weapons grappling mode and tossed it at a nearby lamppost as it wrapped around it.

Using her momentum she was able to turn rather quick. The grimm tried to follow but at their current speed when they turned they ended up crashing into each other. Which did slow them down giving them enough time for Blake to counter attack. Taking both her katana and her cleaver she attacked the grimm mercilessyl killing each one of them before they could recover from crashing into each other.

"Nice idea Ruby. What else you got?"blake asked

"I saw some grimm heading toward the market part of the city. Get their and hold them off till help arrives. I'll have Yang assit when shes done."ruby ordered through the ear piece

"Got it heading their now."blake assured as she made her way toward the market distract

For ruby she was still firing at the King Taijtu as the snake like grimm was taking her shots without much issue as she also mde sure to keep an eye out on her other teo teammates.

Weiss was beginning to lose some ground as the grimm began charging at her one by one as one of them managed to get a swipe at her sending her back a few feet as her aura took the blow. Yang was fairing pretty well but even the blonde warrior was starting to get tired considering the previous night they fought grimm without much sleep.

Blake suddenly brust through from the side of a building like she was lucnehd through it her aura taking a hit as more Uras and Beowolfs came through the building.

"Ruby we're in a lot of trouble here"Yang said her tone in a worried state

"Their getting wiser to our longer and we'll be overtaken by them."Weiss added her voice sound strained

"Everyone fall back to the choke point. We'll hold them their."Ruby ordered as she lept off the building just before a grimm from behind her got to her.

They headed toward a nearby alley way that most grimm couldn't get into all at once.

"Okay that plan didn't work."blake added breathing rather hard

"I thought you were heading to the market district?"ruby said

"I was but I got intercepted by grimm on the way. Guess port wasn't lying when he said grimm could learn."blake said

On the other side of the alley more grimm were trying to get through.

"Man thse guys just don't give up."yang added as she punched the air friing several blast at it foring it back but only for another to try and get them.

"Were not in a good position here '' Weiss added as she fired at the other side trying to force the grimm back but only making them angerieer.

However a grimm managed to get through and charged in at them and lunged at Weiss. Weiss was ready to defend herself but a shot rang out from above killing the grimm instantly.

They looked up and noticed that Team JNPR had finally arrived along with Team CRDL,CRMN,CVFY as each of them jumped out of their bullheads and began attacking the invading grimm.

"Looks like Jaune and the others got here just in the nick of time"Ruby added

Yang readied herself"alright now we can punch through."she added eager to get this done.

"Then let's do then '' Weiss added, readying her blade.

Meanwhile Team ZERO had just reached the outer territory of Vale city and noticed that a battle was already underway as several teams were already their including Ruby teams.

"Look like Cardin has gotten my message. We should help him out."Rogue said

Zane noticed the king taijtu as it tried to take a bite out of Cinders and half of Coco's team. Then he glanced at Onxyia while kneeling looking out the bullhead.

"Think you handle that thing Wolfie"he asked

Onxyia nodded smiling"it'll be my pleasure."Onxyia said

"Alright i'll leave it to you"Zane said as he looked down noticing the large hole in the ground where the grimm came from.

"Rogue sees about sealing up that hole there. , Piper I want you to help keep the grimm back as much as possible. With this much attention I bet ironwood will be sending in some help to take care of it. Eria and I got some ground work to do ready."Zane ordered as Eria got up stretching her back with her bat on her shoulder.

"Ready Princess Ice Queen?"Zane asked

"Ready as i'll ever be grimm boy."Eria replied

"Okay just be careful children don't be reckless like I was in my younger day…"Port began as they jumped off the airship. Onxyia jumped toward a nearby rooftop to get a better grip of a large grimm. Pyrrha apparently had the same idea as she already had her weapon in its rifle mode and fired at the grimm but it barely left an effect on it.

The grimm then tried to take a bite out of her as it lunged in at her but Pyrrha managed to dodge the first attac but was isntaly met with another as it quickly jerked its ehad to the sdie bashing Pyrrha away knocking her toward a nearby building.

She quickly recovered and started back on the attack. Oxnyia is looking around for something that might help. She noticed a shipping crate where the Grimm was and smiled. She took out her rifle and as the grimm got close to it she pulled the trigger firing a shot off. The bullet whizzed by snapping the rope causing the box to fall on it stunning it.

Then she started running over on the rooftop to the grimm. Then she backfliped off the edge of a roof toward the grimm with her glaive out. The grimm tried to attack the red headed girl again but didn't see the wolf faunus coming at it from behind as she implemented her glaive on its back.

The grimm roared in pain as it thrashed about trying to get her off its back. Onxyia tired to hold on but eventually the king Taijtu was able to knock her off its back as Onxyia was flung off. She was able to land safely without much issues as she ready her weapon.

"You okay?"pyrrha asked

"Yes…although this thing is going to be tough."Onxyia added

"Then lets give it hell."pyrrha replied as she switched to her lance as they both charged at the grimm.

Meanwhile Zane and Eria were busy handling the smaller grimm while also assisting Jaune as he bashed away a grimm with his shield before slashing another one with a sword slicing an arm off an uras before finally cutting its head off.

Zane was rushing through the grimm in his new form, slashing several of them in quick succession. He dodged a uras attack before side stepping and climbing on its back digging his blade into its head kiling it. The grimm slowly disappeared as he wiped the black blood from hi blade.

Eria used her ice to slide around readying herself and swung at a beowulf skull knocking into the air. Then she switched to her shotgun mode blasting it too piece with several she slide into another on before freezing her fingers then flicking her wrist launching ice shards at it killing it.

A beowulf however came from behind and was about to lunge at him but an ice shard shot into its side launching it.

Jaune looked and noticed Zane and Eria coming toward him.

"Hey about time you guys got here….new suit?"Jaune replied

"Yeah came with our little mission although after being mind control."zane retorted

"You can banter later let get this over with theirs still more grimm."Eria said

Then above they noticed a nevermore flying by as it began to circle.

"This is never going to end if we don't plut that hole up."Jaune said as he saw the giant hole as it fly around.

"I got Rogue handling that. Right now we can't have people getting into a panic. Jaune see if you can find some people and get them off the streets. Take them into the basements of a building. We don't want any casualties today. Eria I want you to go with him and help out. The quicker we get this done the better"Zane ordered as Eria nodded

"Alright lets go blondie"Eria replied as they headed out.

I better see if I can help anyone else along the way."Zane said as he headed of cutting down any grimm in his path'

Meanwhile in a courtyard Ruby, Cardin,Coco and Velvet were taking care of Grimm but were having some slight difficulty taking care of them.

"They just don't give up huh?" Cardin replied as he used his mace to crush the skull of another grimm taking it out.

"Yeah and they just destroyed my favorite clothing store, they're going to pay."Coco said, readying her weapon. A handbag was on her hip but with a press of a button turning it into a large rotary machine gun. She then blasted around as all four were back to back with each other. Several beowolves were mowed down torn to shreds by the flurry of bullets.

"Honestly after this is over I'm going to feel like sleeping for an entire week"Ruby added as she took out another one that got a little too close for her liking.

Velvet had what seemed like a holographic scythe just like rubys. She swung it, slicing down several grimm at once. Then she switched it out for what appeared to be Erias shotgun blasting away the grimm then twilring the gun unloading the spent shell.

"There's too many we need back up."Velvet stated

"You got a plan big ears?"Cardin asked

"Don't know you gonna pull them again"Coco added

Cardin laughed"Hey I said I was sorry….if you want i'll make it up to you by getting you some coffee or something alright"Cardin replied with Coco laughing.

"Sure make sure to get my order right if we live."coco replied, firing into the grimm again.

Then from the side Zane rushed in his new armor form slashing through the grimm like they were nothing. A couple beowulf rushed him but he slashed on then pivoted slashing the other. Both their heads fell to the ground. Then he pulled out his revovler as his skin seemed to move. Inside the chambers seemed to be glowing bullets. He fired off a few as some exploded.

The four watch with Coco moving her aviators down to watch.``Impressive for a piece of clothing."Coco said before starting to spool her minigun up firing at several grimm. They were shreded into small bits and pieces.

Velvet took her camera out taking a picture of him shooting then slicing a uras head she made her holographic weapon and his revovler appeared. She shrugged before running toward a grimm firing off the revovler into its head. Then she jumped upwards digging the revolver into Uras' head, smiling before pulling the trigger making it fall down after a small explosion went off.

"Are those explosive tipped bullets awesome!"Ruby said before turning her attention back using her gun recoil to launch herself at some Beowovles then pressing a button as her balde glowed. Then she swung it forward launching an arch of energy at the beowulfs killing them.

Cardin then aimed his mace at beowulf before firing it stunning it then he rushed foward cracking its skull open with his then got by them still firing some shots off from his revolvers.

"Hey tin man like the upgrade."Cardin said, smashing another grimms skull in.

Zane then kicked a grimm into the ground before leaping into the air jamming his blade into its stomach killing looked at them looking at his arm before shrugging.

"Oh it's nice but…..stay focused and keep moving"Zane said as he kept helping them deal with the grimm.

Meanwhile with the Cinder group they were taking down grimm with no problem but they were starting to get tired. Cinder summoned two glass short swords and slash away at a nearby grimm killing it. While Emerlad used her guns and fried at the grimm with her sickels extended in case any one of them got close.

Yatsu and Fox were helping them deal with the was protecting them the best he can by swinging a large sword at the grimm desipatching large amount of them. Fox had a pair of tonfas on his arms with blades at the end. He rushed toward a grimm then stepped out of its claws then jumped onto its back. Fox then stabbed into the grimms back sliding down killing it.

Mercury and Neo were busy teaming up against several grimm as one took a swipe at Neo. But she triggered her semblance in time and shattered into pieces the moment the grimm hit her but then was quickly met by the swift kick to its skull as a shot rang out from underneath mercurys shoe.

Neo then appeared above the grimm and rammed her blade right through its skull killing it as the grimm evaporated

"There's just too many of them dam."Mercury noted

"Do not waver friends if we work together we can beat them"Yatsu exclaimed

Emerald laughed at his statement"Really big guys were all friends here now"she playfully said.

Yatsu nodded with a smile on his face"come now were all fighting as comrades that does make us friends sort of doesn't it"he said

"Big guy got a point emerald so lets watch out for our new friends got it."Mercury said, breathing kicking another time with more shots ringing out.

Cinder was seeming to get tired as she stabbed another grimm with her blades.

"Where the heck is everyone we need to seal that hole up."Cinder replied but then from above a sound could be heard above them as a gunship flew overhead.

"Huh? A gunship?"Cinder said but then nosies could be heard seeming to be several people footsteps.

Then they all turned to see Atlas military men storm through their weapons at the ready to deal with any grimm they would encounter.

"Atlas military?how they get here so fast?"cinder asked

"Who cares the calvary has arrived and I'm happy"Mercury exclaimed giving a mock salute to the soilders.

Back with Ruby and the others they were still fighting off hand fulls of grimm. Zane seemed to be slowing down now because he was exhausted. As he did Cardin noticed this rushing over smashing a grimm skull in along the way. He helped Zane up who was on one of his knees.

"Need some help?"he asked, smiling with Zane looking at him as his armor fell off. There he stood there trying but then Zane stood up cracking his neck jumping around. After he was finished he pulled a syringe out from his breast pocket jabbing his neck as Coco watched.

"What's that an energy booster?"Coco asked, firing off her minigun killing more grimm.

"You can say that ''Zane said, taking out his katana then rushing toward a uras jumping on its back digging his blade into it. Velvet took noticed of this then changed her weapon into ruby launching herself switching to Weiss sword stabbing it in the gut killing it. The grimm fell down dead and disppeared.

Then they could heard soldiers approaching them and soon Atlas shoulders were on the warpath for any grimm standing in their way, Zane then relzied some of a particular little bear faunus.

"Oh crap"Zane said with everyone looking at him confused and started to follow him.

"Wheres he going?"Cardin asked running with them.

"Don't know but lets help him out alright.''Coco said with her handbag on her shoulder.

Meanwhile in another part of the city Blake was starting to grow tired and so was Weiss who was struggling a bit as well as she defeated another grimm but even then she continue to struggled.

"Just how many grimm are their?"weiss qustuined

"I don't know but we'll just have to keep going."Blake said but before a grimm rushed at her blidnsiding her. An uras smacked her with its paw sending her to the front of a building slamming into it hard. Due to the fighting so many grimm previously her aura was dangerously low and what the grimm did was enough for Blakes aura to break as a purple aura flickered and broke

She felt immense pain from the attack in which blood trickeld from the side of her head.

"Blake!"Weiss shouted as she used her semblance to create a glyph below herself and charged at the grimm. However she was quickly intercepted by a Beowolf as it clawing at her sides knocking her off balance and just then her aura was also low as her snow blue aura broke.

The beowulf looked at its prey and slowly walked toward the downed teen. The uras did the same thing as it approached the young faunus.

Blake tried to move but due to fatigue from all the fighting prevent her to do so. Before the ruas could feast on its meal it stopped a moment as if it heard something coming toward it and the beowulf.

Just then two uras minors one with a party hat and another in a scraf came bursting through and killed the grimm isntalty smacking and clawing at the two. This surprised both of them to the degree. The two uras in clothes walked toward them.

Blake didn't know what do think that a grimm of all things had saved them from nearly becoming lunch. However that still left them in a rpedictment as the Uras were coming toward them. The uras in a hat carefully and hesitantly approached blake as it was looking at her.

Blake weapon was near her so in case it got close she could try and kill it before it could kill her. However what she didn't expect was that when the grimm was close to her it stared directly into her eyes with wonder. Then the Uras did something to Blake she didn't see coming.

It looked her wound on the side of her head making her hair stand up. It seemed it seemed to be trying to help her recover. The other uras did the same thing to Weiss who looked confused

"Great i'm all sticky now….thank you uh bear?"Weiss said standing up and Blake did the same thing.

Then the next thing the Uras did was lay down bending forward to offer them something to their confusion.

"What are they doing?"Weiss asked

Blake the relzied what they were offering them and what they wanted.

"I think….they want to give us a lift."Blake answered as she approached the uras with a hat. And with ease it let her get onto the back without much issue. Weiss did the same sheathing her gunblades.

"Now what?"Weiss said but was quickly answered as the grimm suddenly took off into a sprint the center of town.

"Whoa! They may be slow but they can take a hit."Weiss said, hanging on to the bear's fur.

The uras mowed down the grimm in their path but ran through them with Weiss now laughing with glee.

"Oh….whoa….this is actually fun?!"Weiss said smiling laughing

"yeah….I wonder where their taking us."Blake called out

Rogue was focused on sealing the hole that was made hopefully without much distraction but there was still plenty of grimm about but thanks to Port and Piper they were able to keep them busy as Rogue activated her was riding her Uras major slashing away at any grimm smiling with glee. Port swung his blunderbuss axe dispatching a beowulf.

She brought her hands up dumping lava in the hole then turned them clockwise. Then she flicked her wrist maing rocks cover the hole. Yang who now decided to join them punched away an uras but she showed signs of fatigue as she tried to keep herself up.

Jaune and the rest of his team got back together as Nora bashed a grimm away with her hammer and Ren toke care of more grimm with his guns with Pyrrha and Jaune tag teaming a large uras and Pyrrha attacking with her lance stabbing through its paw while Jaune cut away at the limb making it lose balance.

"I thought you wear helping Onxyia out."Jaune said

"Don't worry shes handling it."Pyrrha assured

"How so?"he asked again. And almost immediately the King Taijtu came flying through crashing into the side of a building with Onxyia giving it chase.

The snake grimm hissed at the faunus and lungs at her again. Onxyia put her right hand up blinding the beast and the snake hissed trying to cover its eyes. Then she lifted her left hand up, summoning some shadows to pull the grimm down.

The shadows held the grimm down as she rushed forward looking at its fangs getting an idea. She then twirled her glaive before cutting off the fang in its mouth. The grimm roared in pain as its fang fell to the ground.

Its head was slightly in the air and she then whistled for Nora on a nearby roof. Nora looked over to Onxyia waving her down and she smiled rushing over with her hammer at the ready. Nora jumped off the roof bringing the hammer down onto the snake grimm driving its head into the fang killing it. Once down both gave each other a high five on their feat.

Ruby,Cardin,Zane and everyone else including Coco,Velvet and the rest of Cardin team joined them. Then Cinders' group with the rest of coco team joined them as well. Then from the side Eria went flying in the air toward the ground. She landed hard and hit her shoulder pretty bad. Then she tried to stand but the bullet wound in her leg finally gave in. She collapsed looking at an uras chagrin at her and she closed her eyes.

Then a slicing noise could be heard and she looked up at the dead uras head falling off. She then noticed Vance their with them now seeming to have recovered. He offered a hand and Eria took it smiling.

"You alright kid?"vance asked

"Kid….you aren't older than me i'm sure?"Eria replied

Vance laughed before he turned throwing his roped dart into a beowulf's neck killing it. Then Eria fired her lever action shotgun twirling the gun unloaded each spent shell as she killing another grimm. Then he rushed off relizing something but Eria didn't seem to notice.

The group started to converge as one fighting back to back as more grimm converged on them. Ruby fired at the grimm but after firiign a fourth shot her weapon let out a clikcing noise meaning she was out of ammo. She checked her belt to see if she had any more but unfortunately she didn't.

"I'm out!"ruby called out as she switched to her scythe mode.

Yang checked her weapons and noted that she only had a few more shots in each one.

"How about everyone else?"yang asked

"I'm out as well?"ren said

"I got two grenades left"Nora replied as she swapped to her grenade launcher.

Zane checked his revolver to see only two in both of them."I got four bullets left."he replied

Mercury fired off a shot from his leg and clicking could be heard"dammit i'm out."mercury said

Cardin readied his mace"Crap we gotta hold here".

Eria shot one more time before a click could be heard then switching it to her bat mode"dammit i'm out too."she stated

"Just hold on, we can make it"Ruby said, swinging her scythe into a beowolves neck killing it.

Everyone prepared themselves for the inevitable fight but before the grimm struck they heard something like machine gun fir coming from above as several grimm were defeated.

They looked up and noticed a gunship floating above them and taking out the grimm. Also soldier came out from alleys and fired at the grimm.

"Form a perimeter around them."one soldier replied as they fired at the grimm.

"Three KIA on grimm"another replied, killing some with machine gun fire.

"Focus fire on the Uras' 'A soilder said, aiming at a uras minor.

"Atlas military? How'd they get here?"ruby asked

"We saw them file in overhead early at our location"cinder answered

"Better late than never,"Yang added as the grimm went down one by one.

However ruby looked around as she hasn't seen her two other teammates for a while

"Hey where's Blake and Weiss?"she asked

Her question was answered as a soldier point out more grimm coming their way but it was only two of them and they were Uras with clothes on. When they came into view they noticed Blake and Weiss actually riding the grimm toward them.

Port saw this and acted on it"Stop! Hold your fire men!"Port quickly ordered before the soldier opened fire on them.

Piper was happy and seemed to be screaming from excitment with everyone looking toward the small child. They all were confused at what they were seeing.

"Is that a….grimm faunus?"Coco asked, adjusting her shades.

"Huh it seems so guess you're not the only grimm person here zane ''Cardin said with everyone looking weirded out. Then he relized his mistake and that he accidentally revealed Zane's secret.

"Your an idiot Cardin."Eria replied

"Wait, what are you guys talking about?"Velvet asked

"Forget it don't worry about it"Eria added

"Umm no now i'm curious about what Cardin meant"Coco asked with her arms cross under her bust.

Rogue finally got the hole sealed and fell backward exhausted from it."piece….of cake…..man I could go for some right now."She said, breathing exhausted putting her hands on her knees.

The uras got close growling as they stopped infront of the then walked over to Piper who smiled hugging them. Everyone was shocked at what was happening right now. The small girl ruffled the uras fur and the grimm seemed to like it.

"You guys okay?"Weiss asked as they nodded at them.

Then the soldier surounded Piper and her uras aiming their rifle at her. The girl had a look of fear on her face. They advanced on them, giving out orders.

"All of you I suggest you back away from the grimm."the soldier ordered as they all pointed their guns at the uras and piper especially scaring her.

Zane looked at them before cracking his neck going into his slasher form getting infront of her.``Back off or else!"zane shouted, brandishing his large blade.

"Zane what are you doing?"Yang asked in a worried tone as the rest of his group got in between the soldiers in a defensive stance.

"I suggest you back away from the grimm."another soldier replied

"yeah….I don't think so"Onxyia said holding her aimed her shotgun at the soilders with her icy stare.

"You better point that thing away from her or else she is just a kid she doesnt deserve this.''Rogue stated aiming her submachine guns.

"Wait what?"Ruby said before looking closer at the girl. The girl looked to be young and seemed scared. Tears even seemed to be forming on her face right now. She then walked over, joining the group in their defense. Rogue nodded, smiling at the young huntress and then the rest of her team joined. Along with some others in the mix.

Then one of the soldiers motioned for stand down as he got his men to stand down for now because he got a radio call in his helmet.

"Yes' 'the soidler replied before nodding.

"Yes we have eyes on a grimm girl…"he said before he made way for something and so did his men.

Soon another bullhead came down. Then outstepped ironwood flagged by four more he walked over he examined the group looking at them.

"Students I suggest you step away from that thing immediately."he ordered

Zane then went forward brandishing his new arm and Ironwood was surprised by this with his eyes going he narrowed his gaze at the boy looking at him.

"Stand down kid or else"Ironwood said, reaching for his side where a pistol was.

Zane then brought his arm blade to Ironwood's throat quickly with his men aiming at him. To the surprise of everyone what he was doing right now.

"Zane what are you doing?"Pyrrha asked shocked that he's threatening an atlas general

"Ummm you should probably not threaten the general. He holds grudges I've seen it…alot"Weiss mentioned

"Wait if he kills him what happens?"Velvet asked with a scared tone.

"We all get courtmarsheled and put in jail or worse…."Yang said with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Son stand down or…"ironwood began before he was interrupted by Zane putting his knife close to his throat.

"Or what you kill her…..or better yet do to her what you did to me. Stick her in some cell at Atlas, make her sit there all by herself. No chance asshole, call off your men or I slice your throat open."Zane demanded

Ironwood thought for a moment before he slowly raised his hand to give out an order but from the side another voice piped up. "That will be all General I will handle this matter right now"Ozpin said flagged by Glynda.

"Oz you know what that is over there right? It's another one of those freaks like…"Ironwood said before looking at Zane.

"General I know but I will handle this matter. Please just take your forces and go right now. I told you I handle this if anything happen and I will."Ozpin said and Ironwood just groaned looking away.

"Stand down men! Were moving out!"he called out and just like that his men began to leave the group alone. Zane stood their for a second breathing heavy before he wobbled for a bit falling to his side exhausted.

"Great he's dead"Eria said walking over with Onxyia helping him up.

Ozpin then looked at the group of students standing together and smiled it seem. Then he looked at the small grimm faunus girl hiding behind her Uras major. She looked scared and he understood why the girl was scared.

"We will discuss this later children, for now you all did a fantastic job on defending our city. I think you all deserve to head back to Beacon for abreak. But for some please see me in my office"Ozpin said as him and Glynda left the groups.

"Huh I thought ironwood was about to be skewered for a second"Emerald said

"Yeah…but despite that what are we going to do about this little cutie."Weiss said ruffling the little grimm's faunus hair.

"Don't know we should head back for a long deserved break."Nora said stretching her arms.

"Alright then we better get back then."Rogue said as the groups all broadened their bullheads and began the flight back to Beacon.

Meanwhile back with Ozpin was notarized that the situation in Vale was handled and was currently talking with the council over the holophone.

"With the situation that had happened today we need extra security now than ever. So with that said I wish to appoint general ironwood as head of escruity for the Vytal Tournamnet."the man said as they hung up all but ironwood.

"I promise the tournament will be secured. You have my word Ozpin. And good luck with that problem you're dealing with."ironwood replied as he then hung up as well.

He didn't show it but ozpin was worried more than ever. More importantly that he had yet to locate any of the maidens that would help him in his fight against…. he did have his suspicions of who could be the Fall was many things but blind was never one of those things as he brought one picture of Cinder Fall.

He pondered for a moment on what his next move was. And now with proof of that faunus grimm and Zane it means she's stepping up her game."this is getting harder than it has to be. But now I need to find these maidens no matter what right now."Ozpin thought before he went back to his normal duties hopeful nothin else could happen yet at the same time he had many doubts.

Its an end to another chapter. Seems that everyone managed to save the city of vale from being decimated. Although it seems ironwood is against these grimm hybrids running around. I hope you've enjoyed the read.
