Author's Note: So I have had this sitting around for a while. But I am finally gonna be trying to update my stories again.

Chapter 4

Ellie sat in a chair as a man measured her limbs. "Alright I should be able to make the prosthetic's." The man said as he stood up and started for the door. But before he could leave Elvira blocked his path. "You remember our agreement?" She asked with a cold expression but she got out of the man's way before he could reply. "Of course." He whispered before leaving.

Willow came in a few minutes later and came over to Ellie. "Hey I am here for your tutoring. How about we start with grimm-" She started but was cutoff when Ellie used her hand to cleave through the grimm study book. "What the heck did you do that for Elle?!" Willow asked in a raised voice, but Ellie just stared at her. "Well you know she probably knows more about grimm then that book." Elvira said shrugging when Willow turned to face her.

Five cloaked figures sneak onto beacon campus in the night. One of them was a large figure but the rest were pretty normal in height. They started to scale up the side of Ozpin's tower. When they got to there target floor one of them used a tool to cut a large hole. Once inside they quickly found Ozpin in his office. He turned to face them as he was sipping some coffee. "So you finally came." He said as he watched them.

But the moment the large one started to charge a beam came out of nowhere. He collapsed immediately after the beam stopped. A bloody hole in his chest. "I see you have some impressive weapons after all. Hand over Elvira and her companion immediately." One of them demanded as the other's dropped into fighting stance's. Ironwood stepped into view with Penny beside him. "That is not going to happen." He said before pulling out his pistol. He and Penny took out the rest leaving the one that spoke alone. "I bet you think that was impressive. But I am just a low level agent. All of these were reject's-" She said before being cut off as Elvira walked in. "Your disgusting you know that?" She said as she approached the man.

They seemed visibly shaken by the sight of her. "You your not a prisoner? What is the meaning of this?" They asked clearly confused. "I see they sent you to see what would happen. I guess I cant stall them any longer." She said suddenly snapping his neck with one blow. "Shouldn't we have interrogated him?" Ironwood asked as Elvira sighed. "No he likely knew very little. But what we do know is that they will take the time they need to prepare. So we just need to out prepare them." She said clearly already working on it in her mind.

A few weeks after the dance a package arrive's at Ellie's hospital room. Willow open's them to find the prosthetic's. "Finally! They have arrived Ellie!" She said grabbing the leg and bringing it over to Ellie. She immediately start's to connect it to the freshly healed socket's. "Wow there! You were supposed to wait for a medical professional!" The doctor said clearly annoyed. But Willow just rolled her eye's and pressed a discreet button. The leg started to connect seamlessly into the socket.

Willow watched Ellie's face closely for signs of pain. But she just watched the leg come to life. When it was done Willow went for the arm. It was surprisingly normal looking though it was clearly incredibly advanced. As it was coming online Ellie was moving her leg. "You should just be glad there don't seem to be any issue's." He said As Ellie stood up on the leg. Suddenly her new hand became vicious claws then turned back. "Wow that is kinda freaky." The doctor said before Ellie sprinted to the window and leapt out. Willow attempted to follow her but was vastly outmatched in term's of speed. She stood there staring after Ellie in confusion. "What the hell is she doing!"

Ellie found herself at the cliff looking out at Vale. Her gaze slowly lifted till she was looking at something in the distance. It was an order air approaching Vale. A strange girl with black twin tails and green eyes came up next to her. They shared a few moment's of silent staring before they sat feet hanging over the edge. They just sit like that for an hour. But it is broken up when the stranger receives a message on there scroll. They frown and wave bye to Ellie.

She eventually heads back going to her team's dorm room. Once there she find's herself crowded by people. "Where did you go?" One asked as another asked. "How are the prosthetic's working out?" But Elvira stepped in behind her and silenced the room. "There you are. We have something important to talk about..." She said ushering her into the hall. Once there she gave Ellie a serious look. "I have to go with general Ironwood to help prepare for the Oder's next move. But I think you should stay here. It will be safer then coming with me and Ironwood. And you have friend's here who care about you." She said as Ellie watched her with her signature blank stare. After a bit she nodded and Elvira gave her a long hug before leaving.

Ellie headed back into the room and spent time with all the friends she has made. All while Willow checks out her prosthetic's clearly a bit jealous of all the useful features she kept finding. Eventually everyone left but there team. "So Elvira is heading out with general Ironwood to start preparing for the order." Blake said as they started preparing for bed. Willow had already finished helping Ellie get ready for bed. But she refused to let her remove the prosthetic's.

"Yeah she gave me a big speech about looking out for Ellie. But most likely if anything happen's she will be looking out for us. We honestly have no real idea how strong she is." Willow said as she laid down in bed. "Glad to have you back here Elle." She said patting her on the head.

Team NIBL was with there history teacher doctor Oobleck at mount glenn. Ellie had her weapon and the shield with her. When they got to the drop off point Ellie just jumped out landing with a loud crash. She surveyed the surrounding's sword drawn and shield at the ready. A few grimm came out of the woodwork as the rest of them were dropped off. Ellie just thrust her blade causing a aura blade to come flying out skewering the grimm.

Oobleck came up beside her with a conflicted look on his face. "You were supposed to wait till we landed... And to follow my lead." He said but Ellie just tilted her head as she looked at him. "I will be honest with you I don't think she is gonna follow your lead. She does thing's in her own way." Pyrrha says as she comes up beside Ellie. "Please stay close by. And if you think you know the way feel free to lead us there. Just do it slowly. We are not as fast as you." She said giving Ellie a smile and a head pat.

They then started heading off in search of what has attracted the grimm. Throughout the day Oobleck was asking them questions one on one. When night came around they set up camp in a tall building. Willow was on first watch keeping an eye out for anything heading there way. Eventually Blake took over watch but she fell asleep. Ellie slipped out leaving her equipment. She walked as if in a trance through the empty street's.

Then she suddenly smacked herself in the face snapping herself out of it. She quickly turned to face a cloaked figure. "You how did you-" They started but were cut off when Ellie lunged at them. Suddenly a couple of tall slender homunculus with sharp clawed hands came out swiping at Ellie. She jumped back as they prepared for combat. But then she was punched in the back of the hand by a massive metal fist.

Willow awaken's to a panicked shake from Blake. "Wha? Blake? What is going on?" She asked still half asleep. "Ellie is gone!" She shouted awakening everyone else. "Shit we have to find her fast!" Willow says jumping to her feet. Everyone else follow's suit quickly gathering there thing's. But suddenly there here a massive crash and watched as a partially built sky scraper collapses on it'self. They rush toward's it as the dust settle's.

Ellie was sitting across from herself as the more monstrous one was laying around nearby. "So I am back and the beast is... calmer for now. But make no mistake it could still go berserk. But you already know that don't you." She said before sipping some tea. The beast started to stir before suddenly starting to thrash against it's chain. "Well I suppose it is to be suspected it would take over when you get knocked out." She said as the beast kept raging out of reach of the table.

The moment she hit the ground Ellie's tail swung around smacking the hand that hit her. Then she jumped to her feet snarling at the other homunculus. Then the robot came in for another attack but she dodged. She took a few swings at the machine but it dodged each blow. This one was far larger then the other machines. It then kicked her throwing her through the streets. She quickly jumped to her feet and roared leaping onto the charging robot. She claws it's face up before it charge's her through the wall of a sky scraper. It then throws her to the ground and start's to stomp her all over.

But it grabs it's foot and throw's it making the machine stumble back. She then jumps to her feet and swipe's the air sending out aura strikes. Each one leaves grooves in the machines armor plating. It punches her sending her into the main support column. It then charges her smashing her into it repeatedly. But then suddenly Ellie roared again as the purple glow appeared in her chest again. The machine suddenly pulled a blade from it's back and stabbed it through her chest.

The energy was then released through the hole in her chest. It vaporized the robot and it's blade along with the support column. Next the building came crashing down and the ground gave out. The homunculus moved into the rubble and started to search through it.

As Willow and them found there way close to the collapsed skyscraper they could see the figures shifting through it. "Dammit!" Willow shouted nearly drawing there attention. But Oobleck seemed to be thinking as he looked at the rubble. "That is a pretty short pile for an entire skyscraper... It must have fallen into the subterranean tunnels beneath glenn. Perhaps that is where Ellie is!" He exclaims getting the teams attention. "Let's find the entrance to the subway tunnel." He said starting to head around the wreckage.

They find a couple of white fang at the entrance to the subway. They looked nervous clearly aware something was happening. Pyrrha and Blake quickly knock them out before they head down. There are white fang all over scrambling to finish loading the train they had. The red haired faunas man was overseeing the operation. But before they could get very far Ellie came crashing into the large underground area. Her clothes were gone and she was gushing blood from her chest.

Willow gasped in shock as they watched her drag herself. A deathstalker followed her through the hole likely the thing that made it. The white fang all start to get onto the train in a hurry. Oobleck looked back to see the two homunculus come in the same was they came. "We have to get Ellie and get on that train!" He said before starting to charge. The rest followed him as they headed for Ellie. But she climbed to her feet and stopped the deathstalker claw that came at her.

She attempted to roar but only coughed some blood up. Then she stopped grabbed it's claw and tore it off. She then started to slam it into the ground repeatedly. She kept going till the deathstalker's claw was to dissipated. Then she started to bring her hands down on it the deathstalker already starting to dissipate. But shortly after she finished she collapsed to the ground more and more blood pooling up around her.

When they got to her they all stared in shock at Ellie face down in what was basically a pond of blood. "How the hell can she bleed this much?!" Pyrrha said in horror before Ellie's finger's started to twitch. Willow rushed into the blood to Ellie's side. She started to lift her and turn her over. She was almost completely covered in blood. "Oh my god there is a hole in her chest!" She said as Oobleck came over and wrapped Ellie in his coat. He then carried her somewhere with less blood.

He tore one of the sleeve's off and used it as an impromptu bandage. He tied it as tight as her could as Ellie was struggling to breath. Suddenly her eye opened and started darting around. She her arms were flailing around some till her team came up around her. But Oobleck looked up to see most of the white fang were loaded onto the train. "We have to get on that train immediately!" He shouted picking Ellie up again as he started to run towards the train. They managed to get onto it just barely as the train started to move.

Ellie was sipping tea with herself as the beasts raged. But then suddenly she felt a great pain in her chest. Then the whole white world started to flood with blood. All three Ellie's collapsed to the ground blood spewing from there chests. "Ellie we must not... Let this all end here... We must fight to the last breath!" She struggled to say as all three of them struggled to focus. Ellie's beast was dragging itself till it finally seemed to give out. But Ellie forced herself to her feet. The blood was quickly starting to rise already at her shins. She just kept struggling towards the last white spot in the distance.

Oobleck was fighting some white fang on the train roof as the rest climbed down into one of the train cars only to find a bomb. "Dammit! This just keeps getting worse and worse!" Willow says as she carry's Ellie. "We need to stop this train go on I will keep them distracted!" Oobleck shouted down to them as they all nodded to each other. They headed into the next car Which had a strange girl with brown pink and white hair. She was wearing white and brown and had a parasol.

Ellie suddenly struggled out of Willow's grip falling to the ground. The strange girl was smirking but now she was frowning. "Ellie you shouldn't be standing! That being said I don't think I could have continued carrying you much longer... You seriously weigh a freaky amount. No offense intended." Willow said as she rubbed her back. But Ellie gave her a serious look before removing the 'bandage' to reveal scales instead of a hole. She then tapped her chest lightly.

Next thing Willow knew she was being pushed into the next train car. "What?! I wont leave you here! Your in no shape to-" She was saying before Ellie cut her off bye taking her weapon and shield and tearing the train car's door off. "Come on she can clearly take care of herself even in that shape..." Pyrrha said unconvincingly but they all started towards the front as Ellie and the strange girl shared a long silent look.

Then the girl started to frown even more as she raised her umbrella. But then the just dropped it and looked down. Ellie placed her weapons to the side and used the remaining sleeve to wipe some of the blood from her face. The girl though just falls to her knee's looking down at the floor. But Ellie walks over to her and puts her hand gently on her shoulder. The girl slowly looks up tears in her eyes. Ellie gives her a very brief hug before going back over to her equipment. She then waves bye before sprinting through to the next car. She quickly finds Pyrrha fighting with a white fang lieutenant who seemed to be losing.

But Ellie still punched him through the wall of the train. Then she charged through to the control car. There Blake and Willow were fighting with Adam but he was winning. That was when Ellie drew her blade and everyone's attention moved to her. She crossed the car in only a blink of the eye cutting his arm off. Then she smacked him with the pummel of her blade. He fell to the ground unconscious and bleeding quickly.

Willow and Blake rushed to the controls and started trying to find something to shut it off. But Ellie just tore a hole in the roof and climbed out. Everyone quickly joined her on the roof as she pointed off into the tunnel. Then as everyone was bunched up looking ahead a beam cat between them vaporizing something far in the distance. Then she backed up before breaking into a super fast sprint. She tackled them off the train jumping at the last second.

She took them with her flying through the tunnel at incredibly speed's. She then spun them and smashed into the ground back first. She carefully stashed them into a hole she made then used the shield to plug the entrance to the little cubby. Once that was done she sprinted closer to the train waiting till last second to stop and brace herself. Then the train collides with her causing metal to bend and break. Ellie was forced back further and further. Until eventually it came to a halt after all the bombs had exploded and all the momentum was gone. Ellie though was somewhere in the wreckage.
