Chapter 34:
The Grimm kept coming. The Atlesian machines were mostly dealt with and the students had formed a perimeter around the entrance of Beacon. Jaune had picked up one of the Atlesian Knight's assault rifle and kneeling in the floor to stabilize the weapon while he shot at the Grimm. Weiss and Yang had ran towards the cafeteria after the heiress used that blue blade to cut down the paladins.
"Miss Nikos" he heard Headmaster Ozpin from behind him and turned to look at him "It's time."
"Understood" Pyrrha nodded and looked at him "Jaune. Can you come with me?"
"Sure" Jaune got up and looked at Nora and Ren "Ren, you are in charge, take care guys."
"You too Jauney" Nora replied while Ren nodded. Jaune smiled at them and ran towards Pyrrha and the Headmaster as they walked into the school.
-OOOOO-
A spectral light-blue sword stopped Adam's charge as Yang and Blake flanked him. He quickly used his scabbard to shoot in front of him and avoid them while Kira was keeping Yoru busy. Weiss' eye twitched as she felt her consciousness flicker.
She made her summoning's sword disappear as she jumped back with a glyph while Blake and Yang kept the Faunus busy. Even in her weakened state she noticed how much stronger Adam Taurus was.
While Yang and Blake made a good team against him, he managed to always be in front of them, not giving them an opening and parrying their attacks quickly with his red blade. She could feel the murderous intent directed at her but she couldn't run away.
She created two repulsion glyphs behind her teammates and they used them, charging towards Adam Taurus. He must have seen it, because he fired the gun in his scabbard backwards to fly forwards, dodging the two huntresses and charging towards Weiss.
She hastily tried to create a repulsion glyph to dodge him but she wasn't fast enough. He kicked her in the stomach and then punched her to the ground.
'I'm sorry everyone' she thought as she glared at the smirking Faunus who held the tip of his sword over her. He raised his blade and brought it down… only to miss her by a good meter or two.
"What?" was all he could ask as a chain tangled in her ankle and yanked her towards the edge of the cafeteria. She looked up and saw that Emerald bitch untangle her chain weapon and turn it back into two guns.
"What are you doing?" Weiss asked angrily as she started to get up.
"He can deal with hating me, but he can't deal with losing you" she hadn't even looked at her so Weiss looked at the Faunus. Yang and Blake were clearly angry at Emerald but had decided to surround Adam, who didn't look at all like he was feeling threatened.
"Cinder's pet" he finally talked as he fell into a defensive stance "What are you doing?"
"The right thing" Emerald replied while Weiss scoffed 'Yeah right. She must be doing this so her sentence isn't as severe.'
"I see, Cinder will not be pleased to hear that" he prepared to charge until a girl with silver hair and ears and purple eyes appeared alongside him.
"We have to retreat big bro" the girl said casually as she looked at the girls only to stop at Blake and scowl "You can have fun with the human's pet later, Mom lost her toy and Miss Cinder finished her business."
"Understood" he replied and looked at Blake "I'll see you later 'darling'" and with that they disappeared.
"Creep" Yang said before turning to Emerald "Now we have to take care of you bitch."
"You won't" Emerald replied as she disappeared from Weiss' view.
"God damn it" Yang shouted as Weiss felt her eyes close and her knees fail.
-OOOOO-
"God fucking damn it" Jaune swore as he flew through the sky in Pyrrha's locker.
He only had one job and he had fucked it up. Protect the machine. That Cinder bitch attacked from long range and he hadn't even seen her since he was too fucking occupied by watching as Pyrrha yelled in pain from inside that machine.
Headmaster Ozpin had told them to run after she killed the other chick and after a few minutes they both had seen her fly out of the elevator shut and go towards the CCT tower.
"I'm sorry Jaune" was what Pyrrha said before shoving him into the locker which was how he was flying right now.
"Yeah, you'll be sorry" he grabbed his new assault rifle and fired at the ground, stopping only when it gave out and he fell towards the ground. He pulled Crocea Mors and activated the shield before creating a crater as he reached the floor.
He did a quick check-up of himself and looked at his Aura on his Scroll. '20%... I can make it.'
As he ran towards the tower he started to remember his father's words.
"Jaune… you are weak… we've been training for a year and you still haven't even grasped the basics."
He entered the CCT and started to run up the stairs.
"B-but dad… I want to help people."
"And you can help them… but Jaune… you are too weak…"
He heard the sounds of battle and Pyrrha crying out in pain.
"You'll never be a true Huntsman Jaune."
'Then I'll just be a Fake.'
He reached the last floor.
"Pyrrha!"
-OOOOO-
She had given a good fight. Especially against a Maiden. But it was over. Cinder smiled smugly at the Invincible Girl, who now laid on the floor with a black arrow nailing her ankle to the ground. Cinder put an arrow on her bow and pulled the string.
"T-tell me…" the Nikos girl started. Cinder figured she might as well let her have her final words "Do you believe in destiny?"
"I-"
"Pyrrha!" she was interrupted by a voice as a white light surrounded Nikos' metallic armor and yanked her towards the entrance to the floor, breaking the arrow nailing her ankle and making Cinder miss her shot.
She looked with hate towards the source of the interruption, only to laugh as she saw him. The stupid Arc kid panting, with the Nikos girl on his arms, and glaring at her… with green eyes. 'Interesting. Too bad he will die now.' She put another arrow on her bow and pulled the string. With how tired he looked he wouldn't be able to avoid her attack while carrying the Nikos girl, so he would have to either let her kill her or sacrifice himself. She smirked as she realized she didn't care either way.
"No!" she heard someone shout and silver light burned through her skin, causing her great pain. The last thing she saw before passing out was Ruby Rose with that cursed light coming out of her eyes.
-OOOOO-
The sound of birds chirping woke her up from her slumber as her silver eyes opened.
"W-what?" she looked around and saw her dad smiling at her as Yang rushed towards her.
"You are okay" she said softly as she pressed Ruby's face towards her chest. Ruby could hear her voice almost cracking and she returned the hug.
"You've been asleep for around three days" her dad was looking at her with a kind smile "I'll go get something for you to eat, you girls catch up" he got up and left the room as Yang sat on the bed.
"What happened?" Ruby asked.
"Well… Beacon fell" Yang replied as she looked out the window "Miss Goodwitch and the professors are trying to purge the streets and some people had to be sent to hospitals in other kingdoms…"
Ruby's eyes fell and she stared at her bedsheets "How many died?"
"A lot" Yang replied "Nobody we knew though. CFVY are staying at Vale to help clean up the streets. So did CRDL. Sun and his team had to go back to Haven."
"And what happened to JPR?"
"Pyrrha had to be sent to a hospital at Mistral and the rest of her team went with her… Ronald left you a memory drive with some weapon designs and Yuan left me a martial arts manual" Yang let out a laugh "I know I'll be using it after that Taurus guy toyed with me."
"Taurus guy?"
"Oh yeah! Blake's ex" Yang replied "From the White Fang. Weiss, Blake and I fought him while Yoru fought that Kira bitch… Weiss was really tired though."
"What do you mean?"
"You know Weiss doesn't have a big Aura reserve… and she used a lot of it summoning an armored arm so she was almost passing out during the fight… and then Taurus got through us…"
"What?"
"He got through us, Blake and I, and he charged at Weiss. Managed to get her to the ground before we could react but then he…" her expression soured "missed.
"How did he miss?"
"A certain someone made him miss" Yang scowled "That Emerald bitch first messes with our heads and then she saves Weiss' life."
"Why did she do that? Isn't she with the bad guys?"
"I don't know, said some bullshit about not wanting Yoru to lose Weiss but I believe she didn't want us to attack her on sight… then she left."
"What happened after that?"
"Weiss passed out and she was sent to Atlas after her sister came to pick her up. Blake is at the first floor with Jaune and the rest of JNRY."
"What happened to them?"
"Yoru is missing" Yang replied "He had to use his Semblance at the start and ran off to fight his biological mother. Ren and Nora are fine, just a few scraps from the fight and Jaune is training. He unlocked his Semblance to save Pyrrha."
"Really? What is it?"
"He can copy Semblances apparently, but it doesn't work much. He couldn't copy mine or Blake's Semblances and we couldn't test out Nora's since we don't have any electric ammo. He did copy Ren's though… it's pretty weird having to emotion-washing people use that on you."
"Nice… What are we gonna do Yang?"
"You are going to rest up" she replied "Next week me and Blake are going to escort a group of Faunus refugees to Menagerie. Gonna see Mister and Miss B again. Do you want to send them anything?"
"A letter I guess" she replied "So you are leaving?"
"Yeah, sorry I can't stay for longer" she reached out to Ruby and hugged her "I'm so happy you are fine."
"M-me too" she replied as she hugged Yang. She could feel tears forming in her eyes. It was finally over.
