Chapter 2: Part 2
-(Gabe)-
Once I was launched into the air, I used my dual-pistols, Gamma, to propel myself forward a great distance away from the cliff.
I looked back to see Omega at a height no one else could have reached.
Once he started to descend, I made my way down as well, careful not to hit anything thing as I fell.
I did a back-flip and landed on the ground with a loud thud as my boots hit the ground.
I took a second to sit and take in my surroundings.
I then got up and inhaled deeply, as soon as I let it out, I turned around and ran towards where most other people, including Omega, were probably making their way to.
As I was running, I spotted a structure which looked to be crumbling down and covered in moss and vines.
When I got a closer look, I noticed some chess pieces on some tiny pillars.
"What the heck? Are these supposed to be the relics we were supposed to retrieve?" I asked myself.
Just then, I heard some rustling behind me.
I tightened my gripped on Gamma and held them in front of my face.
As I prepared to jump forward to attack whatever it was, I got surprised when Yang and Blake came through.
"Oh hey!" I said as I lowered my weapons.
"Hey uhh...Gabe?" Yang asked.
"Yeah...hey, you wouldn't have happened to have seen Omega have you?" I asked them.
"No, we haven't." Blake answered.
I was slightly worried, the Emerald Forest was a very dangerous place.
A couple of seconds later, we heard a scream from behind.
"What was that?" I asked.
Then Blake pointed upwards.
Ruby was falling from the sky for some reason, and just as I thought she was gonna hit the ground, someone else, came from somewhere else, totally out of nowhere and crashed into Ruby sending them flying into the trees.
"What..." I was trying to process what had just happened.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked.
"I-" Yang started but was cut off by a roar.
Then, things got weirder.
Two other people came in on an ursa.
"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Yang asked.
"I-" Blake started but was cut off by a disturbance in the trees.
Then, a girl with red hair with a Death Stalker behind her, was running towards us.
"Jaune!" She yelled.
"Phyrra!" The guy who hit Ruby earlier said.
Ruby then got up and hopped off the tree towards yang and said,"Yang!"
Then Yang Said,"Ruby!"
Then, one of the two who came on an Ursa popped up in between them and exclaimed,"Nora!"
Things were getting weirder by the second.
"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Blake asked.
Then, Yang, quite literally, exploded and said,"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out before something crazy happens again?!"
Two seconds passed.
"Um...Yang..." Ruby said, then pointed towards the sky.
We all looked up to see ANOTHER person who was hanging on to the talons of a Nevermore who then said,"How could you leave me?"
"I said jump..." Ruby said.
"She's going to fall..." Blake said.
"She'll be fine." Ruby said.
"She's falling." The one known to us as, Ren, said.
As she was falling, Jaune caught her in midair and said something to her which I couldn't hear.
I'm guessing they both realized at the same time that they were in MIDAIR and had nowhere to go but down.
Jaune hit the ground first and the person who fell from the sky landed on his back.
Then, the one known as Pyrrha landed in front of our group, after which Yang sarcastically said,"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!"
I intervened saying,"Wait! Where's Omega?" I asked everyone in general.
None of them knew.
I kind of just sat there with a worried face, looking like a Derp.
"Uhh...Guys..." Jaune stammered.
"That thing's circling back around." He said pointing at the Nevermore, which by now had turned around and was heading our way.
I also pointed out the Gigantic Death Stalker that was also coming towards our group.
"Guys...What should we do?" I asked.
When no one answered, I turned around and saw that everyone was running towards the cliff.
"Hey!!! Don't leave me!!!" I yelled.
A shadow loomed over me as I turned around to see the Death Stalker, which was now behind me, swing one of its massive pincers at me.
I jumped in between them and rolled on the ground.
I immediately got up and ran towards everybody else, who were now way ahead.
I pulled out Gamma, jumped up and shot downwards, using the recoil to launch me upwards.
I ended up with the rest of the group in an ancient temple structure of some sort.
We were really close to the cliff over the Emerald Forest.
The Nevermore-- Wait!
There's two of them?!
"Oh geez..."I said, as I turned around and saw them behind us.
One of them flew over and landed in front of us, while the Death Stalker was climbing up the bridge behind us.
"Oh God..." Jaune said.
"Nora, distract it!" Ren instructed Nora.
They both ran from behind cover, out into the open whilst dodging the Nevermore's deadly feathers.
Then, Nora started shooting the Nevermore with her grenade launcher, which made it fly away.
The Death Stalker creeped behind Nora, but Ren and Blake attacked it and Weiss, the one who fell from the Nevermore, came and carried Nora to safety.
The rest of the group ran towards the tower structure in the center of the Temple.
I noticed that the Nevermore was coming towards us."Guys, watch out!" I yelled.
The Nevermore smashed into the bridge leaving Ren, Pyrrha and Blake behind to the Death Stalker.
"Oh man, we gotta get over there." Said Jaune.
"Let's do it!" Nora said.
"Uhh...I can't make that jump." Jaune said.
Nora then knocked him backwards and converted her grenade launcher into a hammer.
She jumped up and hit the ground, using it to catapult Jaune to the other side.
She then stood on the hammer and used the force of the explosion to launch her forward to the other side where she hit the Death stalker in the head.
She pulled the trigger just before it could use its stinger which launched her backwards, accidental knocking Blake back and off the bridge.
"Whoa..." I said to myself as I looked over the edge to see where Blake was.
She used her weapon like a grappling hook to stop her fall.
I might've been imagining it, but I saw something fly by her really fast.
"What the heck?" I said.
I watched it for a few seconds before realizing what it was. When I did, I started smiling.
