9. Grimm Encounters (1/2)

i do not own rvb or rwby

note: just to clarify, team rwby, the reds and blues have not been transported to remnant. the grimm are the ones that have been transported to blood gulch. still bad though.

second note: there will be fights with team rwby against the grimm. during the fight scenes with team rwby, i recommend playing each of their character themes.

enjoy.

"um, ruby," church said. "what are-"

"shh!" ruby said, stopping church from speaking.

the grimm were just staring at them for now. a few beowolves and ursai circled the group, emitting low growls. but most of them did not make any moves.

"no one make any loud noise," yang whispered.

"these creatures are very dangerous and will not hesitate to kill us," weiss whispered as well.

"what do we do?" simmons whispered, a tone of fear in his voice.

"no, don't be afraid," blake whispered. "they can sense that, and they will attack."

"everyone just calm down," ruby said. "as long as no one shows any fear, or panic, we'll be-"

"hey, what was that

ight light?"

they all turned to caboose, who spoke up very loudly.

"what? is there something in my face?" caboose said. he then looked towards the grimm. "oh my god! what are those scary things!"

"-fine," ruby finished her now futile statement.

at caboose's loud yell, plus the fear and panic in his words, the grimm surrounding them roared as they became agitated from the negative emotions they sensed.

as soon as the grimm roared, tex made her move. she pulled out several grenades, removed their pins and threw them around and towards the grimm. the explosion caused the grimm to back away, dispersing the circle they made around them.

"run!" tex shouted.

the reds and blues began to scatter. specifically, church, tucker, simmons, and grif began to make a run for it to blue base. caboose just started to run around in no particular direction while screaming.

this left, tex, sarge, and team rwby and the grimm, who were beginning to recover from the explosion.

"well, looks like that just leaves you and me tex," sarge said.

"yeah, i think it would be better if you leave too," tex said. "i can take care of myself."

"and miss out on the big fight," sarge said. "not a chance." he cocked his shotgun and began to run forward. "today is a good day to die!" however, as he began to fire his shotgun, he quickly saw that it was having no effect on the grimm. as sarge got closer to the grimm, a beowlf ran towards him and swiped him aside, knocking him several feet away.

tex just shook her head at sarge's

ash strategy. she then turned to team rwby. "you four get out of here now!"

"but we can help!" ruby protested.

"i can't fight whatever these things are while babysitting you, now get-" tex didn't manage to finish her sentence as several ursa began to charge at her. tex pulled out her gun and began to fire at them, but to no effect. she kept her gun and went into a fighting stance, getting ready to fight with her fists.

however, she didn't get the chance as blake grabbed her from behind.

blake quickly used her semblance, creating clones of herself and tex and pulled the two of them back as the ursa charged at the clones, which dissipated as soon the ursa attacked them.

blake pulled tex back with the rest of her team.

tex was surprised by blake's rescue, and even more surprised at how blake saved her. her body felt strange for a second, then she was with blake and her team. "how the hell did you-"

"explanations later!" weiss shouted

"yeah," yang said. "what now, sis?"

"you three help the church and the others," ruby said. "i'm going to get sarge." using her semblance, she dashed to the fallen sarge.

"you heard her," yang said. "let's save the idiots."

back in blue base, things were not looking good.

"doc, open the door now!" church shouted as he continued to bang his fist on the base door.

"i would if i could, church. but i can't" doc said. "i was in here with sister giving her a physical examination, when the power went out all of a sudden and i can't get the doors open."

"what!?" church shouted, realizing that using their teleporter with the dust core must have drained the power from the base. "oh come on!"

"hey, are you hungry or something?" doc asked. "because i hear a lot of loud growling."

church turned around to see several grimm had followed them and were beginning to surround the base, and them. "oh shit."

"what do we do!?" simmons said, panicking.

"maybe we can distract by feeding them grif," tucker suggested. "he's pretty fat."

"hey!" grif yelled.

"no, grif's too disgusting," simmons said. "they'll probably throw him up."

"thank you," grif said.

"guys, focus," church said. "we're about to die."

they saw the grimm slowly closing in on them.

"church," tucker said. "i just want to say-"

"i know tucker," church said. "i hate you too."

"grif," simmons said. "i just want to say-"

"shut up," grif said. "let's just die in silence."

the grimm then charged at them. however, instead of getting mauled, a trail of ice protruded from the ground, freezing the grimm and stopping them in their tracks.

the reds and blues looked to where the trail came from and saw weiss, her rapier thrust into the ground.

"what. the hell. did you do?" tucker said, astonished by what weiss did.

"quit gawking and step back," weiss said.

they did as she instructed. in an instant, the heads of the grimms trapped in the ice were cut off. they saw a kusarigama-like weapon with a ribbon attached pulled back, to be caught by blake. yang was there as well with tex, her arm slung over yang.

"tex!" church said, concerned. "what happened!? are you alright!?"

"i'll live," tex said. "i just got surprised, that's all."

"that you got saved by a bunch of kids," yang said.

"yeah, don't rub it in," tex said.

"here," yang gave tex to church.

"uh guys," simmons said. they all saw that more grimm began heading their way.

"you guys stay here," blake said, changing gambol shroud from gun mode to katana mode. "we'll handle these guys."

"'handle them'!?" grif exclaimed. "how!"

"relax grif," yang said. she then activated ember celica, her

acelets becoming gauntlets that covered her hands and forearms. "we do this for a living."

"you what!?" simmons shouted in surprise.

"you're just kids!" tucker said.

"what kind of kids fight monsters for a living!?" church asked, taken by surprise with how these girls were acting towards these monsters.

"hmph, we're huntresses. it's what we do," weiss said, raising myrtenaster forward. "let's go."

the three of them rushed towards to oncoming grimm.

"who are these girls?" church said.

after dodging some grimm, ruby made it to sarge.

"sarge, are you okay?" ruby asked, shaking the fallen soldier.

"dang it ruby, you ruined my plan," sarge said, apparently awake and conscious.

"what?" ruby said, confused.

"my plan to lure those things to me by pretending to be knocked out," sarge explained. "then, when they try to eat supposedly vulnerable me, blamo! i take 'em out."

"sarge, your weapons don't work on them," ruby tried to explain.

"nonsense," sarge said. "the clear problem is distance, so if i get them close enough, there gonna meet the end of my shotgun."

as if on cue, several beowolves were heading there way.

"stand back, ruby," sarge said as he stepped forward. "it's time for these monsters to get sar-"

sarge failed to finish his sentence as ruby stepped in front of him.

ruby pulled out crescent rose and unfolded it into its scythe mode. she then planted the blade on to ground and began to fire several shots at the approaching grimm, taking them out one by one, unloading bullets with each shot. she then turned to sarge. "run to blue base, now!"

sarge didn't know which was more impressive, the scythe-rifle hy

id that he's never seen before, or the young girl wielding it and giving orders to him.

"i don't know what those things are, but you seem to know how to fight them more than me," sarge said. "so i'll leave this to you. make sure you kill some for me and your fellow reds." he then headed towards blue base.

ruby just smiled. "you got it." she pulled her scythe from the ground and faced the oncoming grimm. the grimm's path however, where blocked by several explosive blasts. ruby turned to the direction of the shots and saw yang, weiss, and blake approaching her.

"guys!" ruby said in relief at seeing her teammates.

"don't start the party without us," yang said.

"what about church and the others?" ruby asked.

"they're safe for now," blake said. "the grimm aren't going after them right now."

"that's because we've lured them all to us," weiss pointed out.

ruby saw that she was right. the grimm were now converging around them.

"i'm assuming you have a plan of attack," weiss inquired.

"here's my plan," yang said. "we attack."

"of course that would be your plan," weiss said, unamused.

"she not wrong," blake said.

"just focus on taking them all out and keeping the reds and blues safe," ruby said.

"got it," yang said.

blake nodded.

weiss just sighed, "just try not get ourselves killed."

the three of them headed towards the large group of grimm, luring several of them away and dividing the grimm into four groups.

ruby smirked as her teammates left. she then turned to the grimm, which were comprised of beowolves. "let's do this then."

ruby twirled crescent rose and pointed it towards the oncoming attackers. she used her semblance and dashed forward, stopping in the middle of the pack of beowolves. she then spun around, her scythe slicing the beowolves closest to her, and creating an open area around her. the beowolves charged at ruby, but ruby began to fire several shots from the rifle, shooting the grimm surrounding her while simultaneously using the recoil to make swift slices from her scythe to the grimm that got close to her and slicing them apart. two beowolves attacked ruby from opposite sides, but she countered by firing a shot at the beowolf's head in front of her, using the recoil to propel herself backward. as she flew backwards, she hooked her scythe around the second beowolf's neck and landed on top of it. she fired another shot to the ground, the recoil beheading the beowolf and sending her flying up into the air.

in the air, ruby saw that there were only a few grimm left around her. she decided it was time to end this. when she stopped rising, she detached the magazine from crescent rose and replaced it with a fire dust magazine. as she began her descent, several beowolves jumped in the air. ruby pointed the muzzle of the rifle behind her and fired, releasing a blast of fire, which propelled her down faster. she then spun around in the air, slicing the beowolves. before she reached the ground, she fired another shot, shooting a blaze of fire at the beowolves behind her, the recoil pushing her forward and she sliced her way through all the remaining beowolves in front of her.

ruby landed on the ground and turned around to see the beowolves all on the ground and dead, several of which were already starting to evaporate.

ruby sighed in relief as she finished. "i hope the others are doing fine."

as weiss ran, she turned to see the grimm, comprised of beowolves and ursa, she lured away beginning to catch up to her. seeing that she created enough distance from her teammates, she stopped running and turned to face them.

she then stabbed myrtenaster into the ground and released a sheet of ice towards the grimm. this caused the grimm to slip from running and began to lose balance. she then created a straight line of glyphs that were aimed towards the unbalanced grimm. she began to run through the glyphs, which allowed her to skate through them at high speed. she started to slash away at the grimm, cutting them apart. she soon stopped running and saw several beowolves jump towards her. weiss created a glyph as a barrier in front of her, stopping the beowolves attack and knocking them back. she then saw several ursai heading in her direction and the collapsed beowolves beginning to recover. weiss then turns the revolver in myrtenaster to the red dust. she then created another glyph, which she then used to push the beowolves away from her as she turned to the approaching ursai. she then slashed her rapier at their direction, sending a wave of fire towards them, which burned several ursa and and forcing the rest to back away.

weiss turned her attention back to the beowolves and the remaining ursai who began to surround her. weiss began to create a glyph on the ground, the grimm around her standing within the glyph. she then stabbed her rapier in the ground and and pulled the trigger, releasing ice dust into her blade. the ground began to sprout many ice crystals, piercing all the grimm in the glyph.
