Chapter 2

Subject Delta and Eleanor were valiantly fighting the good fight, but it was a losing battle all the same. No matter how many of the Grimm they killed more came to replace them. They were coming so fast that the bodies were starting to pile up despite the fact that Grimm decompose rather quickly. Just when things were getting desperate, Delta and Eleanor heard a strange whirring sound. They looked to the sky and saw some sort of metal contraption floating in the air. It even had people riding inside of it. Not having time to be amazed by the flying machine, they simply prayed that the people on board were there to help. The passengers hopped from the machine and rushed forward towards Delta and Eleanor.

Each one of the approaching figures looked extremely different from the rest. The one that was leading them was a light skinned girl with short dark-brown hair that had a little bit of light-brown dyed in. Her clothes consisted of a style not found in Rapture and it was hard to describe, as were the rest of her groups, but what could be said was that they were dark in color. She also wore many accessories including belts, necklaces, some kind of dark glasses, and a cap. Most notable however, was the ammo bandoleer that hung from her arm as well as the large bag she held at he side. To her left was another girl who, quite literally had rabbit ears growing out of her head. She had long brown hair that reached her waist and wore some kind of brown, gold, and black outfit and held some sort of case in her hands. To the direct right of the lead girl was a boy with dark skin and short, almost red hair that hung over his eyes. He wore a red zipper up vest with black pants. Even from a distance one could notice the scars that lined his arms and attached to his arms were a large pair of blades. The last member of the group was another boy who was easily the tallest of the group. He had lightly tanned skin and shaved black hair. He wore some sort of green robe that was fastened at the waist with a black belt. On his left shoulder was some form of armor and in his right hand was a large sword.

The two males of the group rushed forward and began to combat the Grimm with their blades. The one with the arm blades moved with great speed as he weaved in between the Grimm's slash attacks and countered with his own. As one swiped at him, he ducked underneath and then brought his elbow up and stabbed the Grimm through the bottom of his neck with one of his blades. The larger boy with the great-sword simply overpowered every Grimm in his way, blowing through their guard with his immense strength. As the Grimm tried to surround him, he swung his sword into the ground, sending out a shock-wave that sent nearby Grimm flying and left a noticeable crack in the ground.

The two girls of the group held back in the distance, allowing their comrades to do the heavy lifting. Then one of them called out to the men. "Fox! Yatsu! Pull back, I'll finish them off." At her utterance the two men retreated back to the women, luring the Grimm back with them. Once the men were clear, the girl held her case in front of her. It then began to unfold into a large gatling gun of some sort. Delta and Eleanor quickly backed up towards the water so as to not get caught in the line of fire. The girl began firing upon all of the Grimm, her large caliber bullets reducing them to nothing more than stains on the ground. Dozens of Grimm fell within moments of her firing the gun. As soon as the Grimm were eliminated she then began to fire upon the treeline so as to chase away any Grimm that were in hiding. Eleanor, having picked up on this, used Telekinesis to create a wave of water that she then lifted up and swathed along the treeline. The group that was providing aid was notably shocked by this development.

"Now father!"

Delta then swapped to Electrobolt. He charged up the plasmid in his hand and then aimed at the soaked foliage. With the flick of his hand he unleashed a torrent of electricity from his palm. He swathed it back and forth along the treeline, the crackling of the plasmids electricity arcing throughout the trees and lashing out at Grimm, killing any stragglers.

It was a hard fought battle for Delta, but the Grimm seemed to have retreated for the time being. The mysterious group that had aided him and Eleanor began to make their way towards the two. Eleanor was currently catching her breath and, probably being the less intimidating of the two, was approached by the group.

"Whew, that was a close call. What are you guys doing out here?" The capped girl asked as she and her comrades got even closer to Eleanor.

Delta quickly swapped to his rivet gun and aimed in the direction of the girl. He then pulled the trigger. The group didn't have any time to react as the shot flew towards them. It was fired with precise aim and it would not miss its target. An audible thck could be heard as the rivet impacted with flesh, its pointed tip piercing through the targets skull.

Coco remained frozen in place in fear. What had just happened? Was she shot? Did he miss? Dozens of questions along these lines were floating through her head. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a quiet growl come from behind her. She turned quickly to see the corpse of a Beowolf the was collapsing to the ground with a rivet in its head. Apparently the Grimm was sneaking up on them and the armored man had just saved her life. Damn, now she owed him, she thought. But at least this meant that they probably weren't hostile, probably.

"Thanks for the save big guy." Coco said to the armored man who simply nodded in return. "Strong silent type I take it?" she added as her gaze drifted to the other armored figure.

"Something like that." the grey clad person answered. From the sound of her voice, Coco could tell it belong to a girl. "Thanks for helping us, I don't think we could hold out for much longer."

"No problem, names Coco by the way. And this is Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi." Coco said as she introduced her teammates to the unknown fighter. "What's yours?"

The person then grabbed their helmet and removed it from their head, revealing her shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. "Eleanor Lamb." she said as she held her helmet at her side. "And that is my father, Delta." Eleanor added as she gestured to Delta who was reloading his weapons.

"Delta? That's a weird name." Velvet thought aloud and covered her mouth at her slip up. Delta gave her a glance, but paid her comment no real attention before returning to Eleanors side.

"It was the name he was giving as part of the Protector program. I don't know if he remembers his real name anymore. We believe his first name was somewhere along the lines of Johnny." Eleanor said to which Delta nodded.

"You gonna keep me waiting big boy or are you going to let me see your face." Coco said as she tapped her head, implying for Delta to take his helmet off. "It's only polite to do so."

Delta slowly reached for his helmet and grasped it in between his hands. After he unhinged a few latches an audible hiss was heard as he began to remove the helmet from his head. He had short black hair, only a few inches in length, and beard stubble covered his face. But the most notable thing about him was his brown eyes, they were empty. Almost as if the life had been completely drained from them.

"Jeez, what's wrong with your eyes?" Coco asked.

"Grrraah." Delta tried to answer, but as a result of the Protector program he could no longer speak clearly. He may no longer be a mindless brute who knows only how to protect his Little Sister, but he was still limited in certain ways. He rubbed his throat and shook his head, getting the message across that he couldn't speak.

Eleanor decided to answer for him instead. "As a result of the aforementioned Protector program, father was turned into a mindless brute who only knew how to follow a certain set of orders. He's lucky that he is now able to move about freely and make his own decisions now."

Coco, piecing together what Eleanor was saying as best she could, lowered her head slightly. "My apologies. I mean no disrespect."

"It's quite alright." Eleanor started. "It's only natural for you not to understand. After all it's not like you were aware of how Rapture works."

"Rapture?" Coco asked as she tilted her head to the side and put her free hand on her hip. "What's that?"

"I can explain later, right now I think it's best we get out of hear before more of those Grimm show up."

"Alright, I'll have the pilot bring the Bullhead back around." Coco said before pulling out her scroll and making a call to the pilot.

"If you're talking about that flying machine then I think were going to need a few more." Eleanor said to Coco.

"Why is that?"

Eleanor then turned to the ship. "Mother! It's safe to come out now! Bring the sisters!" At her words, little girls, all dressed in similar dresses, began to climb out of the ship. They kept coming out one after another until the entire deck was nearly full. Following the last girl out was a woman dressed in an old styled outfit the likes of which hadn't been seen in decades.

"Yeah, looks like were going to need a bigger airship." Yatsuhashi said, to which Coco gave a wry laugh.

"Guess we can always count on you to point out the obvious. Good thing that Atlas ship decided to tag along."

"Yeah, I guess..." Velvet said nervously.

In the minuets that followed there was a rather amusing reaction to the giant flying ship courtesy of Eleanor and the little girls. The Bullhead made several trips, ferrying the girls up to the larger ship. Velvet and Yatsuhashi joined them on the larger ship along with Sofia while Delta, Eleanor and the remainder of team CFVY remained on the ground guarding against potential Grimm attacks. Once they were the last ones left, the group made their way aboard the Bullhead. The ship took off and joined the larger Atlas ship in its return to Beacon.

"Wow! It's like a sky bathysphere!" Eleanor cooed in amazement.

"A what?" Coco asked.

"Oh, a bathysphere is a personal submarine that is the primary means of getting around Rapture." Eleanor answered.

"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you again, what's Rapture?"

"Oh, Rapture is the underwater city that we came from." Eleanor said like it was nothing special. Quite frankly, being born there had made her immune to the wonder of an underwater city and was more amazed by the world above the ocean.

"Sure, underwater city." Coco said in doubt.

"You don't believe me?"

"Not really."

"Well I'm not surprised. Rapture was a well kept secret and it's not like we have any proof for you."

The two girls continued their conversation whilst the two men just sat silently. Delta with his hands clasped together and leaning forward, deep in contemplation, and Fox leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

Delta was currently trying to get his thoughts together. What was he going to do next? He had finally escaped Rapture, but in his current state he would be unable to lead a normal life. Hell, he couldn't even remember what his original name was. The Protector program had taken everything from him and left him with nothing but a name and a purpose. Delta, protect your Little Sister. That was all he knew. Well that and how to fight. In the end the only thing he had was his connection to Eleanor. Though not by blood, he was still her father. And that was enough for him. With her being the only thing he had in this world, he decided in that moment to follow whatever decision she made.

"...and that is how we are able to do things like shoot lightning and fireballs from our hands."

Delta was snapped from his musings by Eleanors conversation with Coco. She was currently doing her best to explain Rapture to her, but the look on Coco's face said that she was having trouble understanding.

"You're saying that a deep sea slug was responsible for changing you're genetic makeup? Forgive me if I sound a bit skeptical, but I don't buy that at all."

Delta sighed internally. This was going to be a long trip.

- Elsewhere...

Headmaster Ozpin was sitting in his office going over the initial report that he had received from team CFVY. Suffice it to say he was impressed. Two lone fighters managing to hold off an entire horde of Grimm? That was quite an impressive feat. Not to mention that it seemed they had some rather powerful semblances and weapons. It was then that Ozpin's scroll began to ring. He looked down at it and saw that the caller was none other than Ironwood. After waiting a moment to think over what he could be calling about, Ozpin answered.

"Hello James."

"Ozpin, are you aware of the current situation?" came a somewhat agitated sounding voice.

"Is there something wrong James? You sound a bit on edge."

"You could say that. After all, one of my warships is currently being used as a taxi for potential terrorists."

"I have the report James and I'm sure your men can deal with a bunch of little girls plus their guardian. I would be more concerned about my students who are currently riding in the same Bullhead as the people who were fighting the Grimm. But they seem to be friendly, so we will do our best to not make enemies out of them."

"I hope you know what you are doing."

"I have every amount of confidence in my students judgement. Besides, if these people are as strong as they are reported to be, then they will make for powerful allies. It is my desicion to make, not yours."

"Very well, but I still don't trust them."

And with that the line went dead. Ozpin held his scroll in his hand, checking the time. "They should be arriving soon. Perhaps I should go to greet them." he said as he got up from his chair.
