RWBY: Red and Blue
Chapter Three: You've got to be kidding me.
"I know I shouldn't ask this-but can this get any worse?" Church asked
"Yeah!" Yang cheered, crouching down to face the Nevermore. "Let's kick some butt." York stared at her in confusion.
"You never grow up do you?" he asked before drawing his sword and shield.
"Quiet, dirtbags," Sarge ordered as he reloaded his gun, Death Penalty, and aimed at the Deathstalker. "Papa's gonna have a nice scorpion dinner tonight!"
"Carolina, shoot at its eyes," Washington shouted as he picked himself off the ground. Risa responded by aiming at the Ursa and firing a few shots at the charging Grimm, only for the bullets to bounce off its skull-like armor harmlessly.
"Darn it!" Risa cursed.
"Does anyone have a plan?" Ren demanded as he readied his weapons. "Any plans at all?!"
"Um-" Pyrrha thought, but was interrupted.
"We're gonna freaking die!" Grif wailed.
"Oh, come on, if we survive this, just think of how many ladies we'll score," Tucker put in.
"Ugh," Weiss said in disgust. "Do you idiots always talk this much before a fight?"
"Um yeah, pretty much," Simmons said as he spun his swordstaff around his hand.
"We need to split up," Carolina ordered. "We all take a Grimm."
"Sounds good to me," Yang cheered, cocking her gauntlets.
"Everyone pick a baddy and hit it until it stops moving," Washington said. "Okay… now!"
With that the fight was on. Yang, York, and Ruby ran towards the descending nevermore while Church, Risa, and Tucker ran at the Ursa. Sarge yelled and charged the Deathstalker, firing a shot every few steps, in the hopes that something would go through the armor. Pyrrha followed him with Nora and Ren on her heels. Nora fired at the beast with her grenade launcher, laughing insanely as she did so.
"Juane! We need to go!" Pyrrha yelled, as the boy had not moved.
"Uh, we do?" Juane whimpered.
"Come on, man!" Sarge snapped. "Double time! Heck, I'll even settle for single time!"
The boy charged towards the giant scorpion, Jaune watching. He gulped and then readied his weapons, though shakily. However, seeing the other teens race without hesitation, he built whatever courage he had and he raced after them.
The scorpion was still screeching loudly, outstretching its pincers, which were big enough to snap a human in half. It charged for Nora, but the girl saw it coming. She grinned maniacally as she had an idea. She shot the ground beneath her, her cannon having enough force to throw her in the air. She cheered as she disappeared from sight, Ren taking her place. The boy fired a volley of Dust bullets at the Grimm, aiming at its eyes, but it seemed to annoy the creature more than anything.
"Uh, this isn't working," Ren yelled, cringing.
"Then keep shooting!" Crimson retorted as he shot another round from Death Penalty.
Pyrrha paid no mind as she raced towards the Deathstalker, unwavering even as the monster swiped a pincer at her. She leaped forward and rolled, the attack avoiding her by an inch. She jumped to her feet and climbed onto the giant scorpion's back. The champion struck her sword at the back of the Grimm's head, only for it to harmlessly bounce off its armor.
"What?" she gasped, only for the Deathstalker to shake and throw her off. She yelped as she crashed onto the solid ground, but quickly rose to a crouch. Despite her setback, an idea was forming in her head. "We need to weaken its armor."
"Well, how in blazes are we going to do that?" Sarge snapped, pausing his shooting as he glared at her. Suddenly he heard a strange scream and a shadow fell over him. "Oh, crud."
Suddenly Nora reappeared, slamming down on Crimson with such force it caused the poor teenager to crumble underneath her. While his face was contorted in pain, Nora was still grinning, as if unaware she has literally crash-landed on her ally. However, the odd scene gave Pyrrha the perfect solution.
"Nora! Go!" she yelled as she pointed as the Deathstalker. Nora looked back and forth between the other girl and the Grimm before realizing Pyrrha's idea. Nora's grin grew wider as she saluted.
"Gotcha! Ren! Cover me!" the redhead laughed.
While she charged forward, Ren continued to fire at its eyes, but it only seemed to irritate it more. The Deathstalker hissed loudly and wildly flailed its pincers, narrowly missing Nora, but the girl only cheered every time she dodged its attacks. As it swung one of its pincers, the young fighter leaped onto the claw, using the creature's momentum to throw her into the sky.
Mid-air, Nora pressed a button on her grenade launcher, converting it into a hammer that was as tall as she was. Grinning, she used it as a seat as she soared into the air, only for gravity to finally pull her back down. Instead of fear, she let out a whoop as she flipped, now holding the hammer above her head. The Deathstalker, too focused on Ren, did not notice the flying warrior until it was too late.
The Grimm let out an ear-piercing screech as Nora landed the hammer on top of its head. There was so much force the creature was pushed flat onto the ground, even creating cracks in the earth with its weight. Along with its armor.
"Wow, that was awesome!" Juane cheered as he watched the stunt. "Um, what do I do? I can do something. I mean, I think… Well-"
"Juane!" Pyrrha suddenly screamed, cutting off his babbling.
At first the boy only stared at her in confusion, until he noticed the shadow looming over him. He glanced up, only to see a giant gleaming stinger aimed at him.
"Oh, boy…" he whined.
Suddenly the stinger came down. With a yelp, Juane fell to his knees, ducking behind his shield for protection. He felt a jarring impact and he muttered his last words. Then, as if on its own, his sword moved in his hand into a large arc. A hiss filled his hearing and the weight on top of him disappeared with a thud. The boy peeked over his shield.
The stinger, detached from the Deathstalker, lay on the ground. Juane glanced at his sword, which was covered in goo. A wicked grin spread across his face, not noticing the knowing one on Pyrrha.
"I-I did it!" he gasped, then raised his voice into a yell. "I did it!"
Suddenly his celebration was cut off as he failed to notice the giant pincer coming towards him. Pyrrha's warning came too late as he was flung into the air with a ridiculous yell. Immediately the girl was concerned over the boy's welfare, but her champion instincts saw the opening the Deathstalker had created from its careless attack. This was her one chance. The girl swallowed and made her decision. She had to finish this.
Pyrrha buried her heels into the ground and took off. She sprinted across the field and leaped onto the Deathstalker. She flipped into the air, drawing her sword. She twisted, landing in a crouch on the Grimm's head… burying the sword in its skull.
The Deathstalker hissed in pain and flailed, but it was too late. Without warning, the Grimm went still and collapsed, only to dissolve into nothing.
Meanwhile Church was firing at the Ursa, only to miss almost every shot. He growled in frustration. The others constantly getting in the line of fire and as they continuously attacked the Ursa, the monster's movements made it hard for Church aim correctly.
"Will you guys just get out of the way, already?" he yelled, no one heard him.
Tucker was dancing around the bear-like creature, taunting it while he tried to slash at its feet. However, as he tried to attack the Grimm, the Ursa would swipe at him, forcing him to duck away from razor-sharp claws, only occasionally getting a lucky strike. Risa meanwhile took advantage of Tucker's distraction to attack the monster, alternating between her twin pistols and javelin. However, her attacks did little damage and she hissed whenever she struck its armor, which nearly covered its entire body. Washington had the sense to stay away from the monster, firing his assault rifle at the cracks of its armor, only to have the same luck as the others.
"You!" he snapped at Tucker. "You're just getting in the way! Move!"
"Yes, please!" Church added.
"Hey, does it look I don't know what I'm doing?" Pirus challenged as he paused from his assaults. "I know exactly what I'm doing."
Apparently he didn't, as the Ursa noticed his back was turned and swiped at him. He was only saved as Carolina tackled into him. Tucker grunted as the claws narrowly missed them, but Risa didn't give him any attention as she jumped back to her feet.
"Stay out of my way! This Grim's mine!" she snapped.
"No, stay out of my way!" Church yelled from behind her.
Risa ignored him as she charged for the Ursa. The giant bear roared at her before clawing at her, only for the girl to skid underneath. Rising to her feet, she slashed the back of his legs. The Ursa now growled in pain, which increased as she then slashed at both at its hindlegs. She came from underneath the creature, only to turn around and charge at it again. When she got close enough, she threw her javelin, aiming for its soft belly. Only when she did, the Grim turned towards Siva, having the weapon bounce harmlessly off its armor. This time she let out a yell.
"Carolina, Tucker, I need a clear shot!" Church yelled.
"No, I can do this!" Risa snapped back.
"You know what, how about we try going with his plan?" Pirus grunted as he pushed himself off the ground.
"We don't need it!"
"Do you have a better one?" Washington demanded as he fired his assault rifle at the Ursa, who was now focused on him. The boy was backing up rapidly, only to narrowly avoid the monster's teeth. "Anytime now! Need help over here!"
"Fine," Risa scoffed.
She snatched her fallen javelin, frowning at its broken state, and ran out of the way. Tucker gave one more slash at the Ursa before doing likewise. His antics proved useful, as the Grim whirled around with an outraged roar, now facing Church. Now he finally had a clear shot at the Ursa's head. Theta appeared at that moment behind him and joined him in one final taunt.
"Hey, Ugly!" they shouted together. "Bottoms up!"
The Grimm's head turned to look at them when they shouted and that's when Church fired. The bullet pierced through the Ursa's eye and it's head was turned into a miniature blender as the Dust bullet ricocheted around inside its thick skull.
"Eat this," Yang shouted from overhead as she fired several shots into the mouth of the Nevermore.
York and Ruby were barely staying on the back of the Nevermore, trying to deal damage to the giant Grimm with their weapons. York was stabbing at its back with his sword while shifting his footing every few seconds to keep up right. Ruby, however, had taken the more direct approach and had simply stabbed her scythe into the monster's back, who had nearly thrown her in response. Neither had done much more than piss off the creature.
"Come on! Die already!" York complained as he shifted his footing once more to keep upright. "What is it with you Grimm and your unnatural survivability?"
"York, i don't think shouting at it is going to help much." Ruby said as she held onto her weapon for dear life.
"Hey!" Church shouted from down below, waving his arms. "Bring it down."
"What do you think we've been trying to do?" York shouted. Church ignored him, however, and turned to the others who were in various states of watching their Grimm disintegrate.
"Hey, everyone," he shouted to get their attention "i have an idea." The others ran over to him and grouped together as he began to explain his plan.
"That is the worst plan ever… of all time." Washington stated as he stared at Church disbelievingly.
"Oh like you have any better ideas?" Church said sarcastically
"Actually yes, i do" Siva replied
"Oh my god, shut up! both of you." Tucker exclaimed
"I agree with Numbnuts on this one." Crimson said as he cocked his shotgun.
"Then let's go." Carolina said "we have a plan let's use it."
"Don't I get a say in this?" Kahel asked dejectedly, who along with Simmons had been thrown from the Nevermore rather early in the fight.
"You know, Weiss was right you guys do talk a lot." Jaune said
"I think we should get on with the plan and discuss this at a later date." Simmons suggested as he pointed at the Nevermore that was circling above them, steadily drawing closer.
"Move!" Pyrrha shouted as she rolled out of the way.
"Oh sure, she looks awesome as she runs away but we're left to running and screaming like girls." Grif said sarcastically as he ran to the left
"Look who's talking. dirtbag." Sarge replied from behind him.
"Start the plan!" Church shouted as he ran from the grimm that was chasing him. The nevermore screeched at him with Yang hanging from it's beak. "why is it always me that looks tasty?!"
Washington and Carolina ran up beside him with their weapons drawn. They immediately started firing-Siva's rifle and Risa's twin pistols-right at the Nevermore's face. The Grimm screeched and came to a mid-air halt, madly flapping its wings to move away. However, unable to have the aerial ability to fly backwards, it could only hover awkwardly. It gave the perfect for all the initiates to take aim.
"Alright, everybody!" Church shouted. "FIRE!"
At his order, Dust filled the air, bright colors flashing as the bullets were fired. The Nevermore screeched in pain and fury as the artillery assaulted its sides. It snapped its head back and forth, trying to find a target, but the initiates had completely encircled it, making it impossible to find a lone prey.
"Hey! It's working! It's working!" Juane cheered, but his words were swallowed by the thundering of firing ammunition.
Finally the Nevermore had enough. With another angry squawk, the giant Grimm flew off, heading for the treeline and away from its assaulters. However, little did it know that's exactly what they wanted.
"Ruby! Ice Queen! Now!" Church roared, cupping his hand over his mouth as he turned to the two girls standing within the trees.
Some of you may be thinking "This doesn't seem like a complete chapter, What's up, Calazar?" Others might be thinking "Wow, that was such a great cliff hanger. What's going to happen next?" Well I am here to disappoint both of you. As of this chapter RWBY: Red and Blue is dead. Both me and Stupid-Author lost interest in this awhile ago and have since moved on with our lives. In all honesty this was simply me getting this chapter out to both put out what was kinda finished and to get you guys up to date on where this story stood. But I am proud to announce that there is a spiritual successor to this Fic. After reading this Fic over, I realized that there was a lot that I didn't like about it. From some of the design choices I made with the characters to how bad my grammar and spelling was at the time. So with that out of the way, I ask that you head on over to my new story "RWBY: Final Transmission" It is what I consider to be the sequel to this story and I hope you like it. See you guys, Calazar.
