Chapter 8: Part 2
I woke up after being out for a while, I guess, I'm not sure how long it's been since the train crashed into that wall.
I didn't really know where we were.
I sat up and looked around, there were buildings that looked familiar, we weren't underground anymore either.
"Where...?"
That's when I realized. We were in downtown Vale!?
I assumed it's only been several moments since we hit the wall and ended up here, there weren't very many people on the scene yet.
As I was getting up, I saw team RWBY along with Oobleck and Gabe getting up as well. (Except Weiss cuz you know...)
I also noticed the gaping hole that we came through, there were loads of Grimm coming out of it.
Maybe that's why there wasn't anyone here.
"Uhh...guys..." I said.
"Yeah, we know." Gabe said as he got up.
The Grimm began to surround us. Some were just running through the city.
"The VPD will take care of those." Blake said.
"Yeah, but have to take care of these." Gabe said.
"This'll be easy." I said.
"It's just...Beowolves, Ursi, DS's, TJ's and some other stuff."
"You guys wanna like...guard Weiss over there? 'Cuz she's your teammate and stuff so...you know..." I said to team RWBY.
They formed a triangle around Weiss to keep her safe until she can be brought to Beacon.
(Illuminati confirmed!!!!)
Ruby was the first one to attack, after that, the Grimm came at us, we took them out in piles, but more kept on coming.
That was fine by me, I just had to keep them away from everyone else and drain them of their energy and used that energy to replenish everyone else's Auras.
Several minutes into the fighting, an airship arrived on the scene.
"About time they decided to help us out." I said.
Team JNPR stepped out of the airship and immediately started attacking the Grimm.
As they made their way towards us, more airships arrived, one of them had team CFVY in it, which was great.
We needed all the help we could get to get rid of all the Grimm which had come out of the hole that the train made.
After a few more minutes of fighting, Sun and Neptune showed up, along with airships of Atlesian Knights, which helped clean up the rest of the Grimm.
The fight ended shortly after. We found Torchwick in the rubble, the VPD took care of him.
All of us, including team CFVY, Sun and Neptune, all kinda gathered in a circle and talked for a while.
"I really don't think we would've found them if Ruby hadn't followed Zwei outside." I said.
We talked a bit more, then we decided that we should probably get back to Beacon and get some breakfast, as it was still morning.
All of us got breakfast, including myself, and sat in the same area where team RWBY, OmGa, and JNPR usually sat.
I was talking to them about some things I should improve on The Destroyer. I didn't really have any ranged capabilities that were effective on long range combat.
I also couldn't get to places fast enough with just The Destroyer anymore. I needed a different way to get to places faster, without losing my ability to attack.
I needed to mod The Destroyer.
After getting breakfast, we went back to our dorms.
I immediately began the process.
But, first, I needed a temporary replacement while I was still working on the Destroyer.
I didn't really have anything in the room that would make a decent weapon.
I looked around for a bit and eventually came upon my Viola.
It was really the only thing I had at the moment that I could quickly turn into a weapon.
I worked on it for a couple of hours, Gabe went out to get some pizza, but he didn't comeback until 3:00 p.m., five hours after leaving.
I didn't really care where he went or what he did, I just wanted the pizza.
Within about half an hour of him getting back, I was done converting an instrument, to an instrument...of DESTRUCTION!!!!
"Whaddaya think?" I asked him.
He looked at it for a while and said,"Okay."
"What does 'okay; mean?" I asked.
"It means 'Okay', as in, it's fine. You should be able to fight with it." He answered.
"Aight then..." I said.
Now, it was time for the real challenge.
I had to turn The Destroyer into an even better Destroyer. Before our next mission, whenever that is.
Fortunately for us, Ozpin had decided to give us a bit of a break, since we did find the White Fang hideout.
So, for the next few days, I worked on The Destroyer, from when I woke up, to really late at night.
When our break was over, progress on The Destroyer slowed way down.
I was only able to work on it for a few hours everyday.
That wasn't too convenient, Ozpin gave us a mission about three weeks since I started to work on The Destroyer.
It was almost ready, but not quite enough. I didn't want to risk breaking it into pieces, because I was doing something that required me to break it up.
I had to use the weapon that I had made weeks before. I didn't really have time to train with it, so I was hoping that it would be good enough.
The mission was simple though, so I didn't think I'd need The Destroyer for it, I hope...
All we needed to do was get rid of some Grimm, which had gone into the city.
An airship took us to a nearby village, probably the village that team JNPR was talking about.
We got there in less than five minutes, they weren't kidding when they said "nearby".
We were dropped off at the entrance of the village.
Not surprisingly, the place was pretty quiet, and looked deserted.
There wasn't a sign of anyone having been here, except for the houses and a few shops here and there.
"Right. Where are they?" I said.
"Probably ov--" Gabe started, but stopped talking when a couple of Beowolves appeared from behind a house of some sort.
"Oh, okay then..." He said, then muttered something to himself.
"Aight, let's see how badly I fight with this thing..." I said. Preparing to run at the Grimm.
I had forgotten the fact that I needed a way to get to places faster.
"I'm gonna make something when we get back." I told Gabe.
"What are you gonna make?" He asked.
"I dunno yet...something...for sure." I answered.(well, not really)
"Should we split up?" I asked.
"I don't know? Should we?"
"Well...they're only Beowolves...so...let's do it." I said.
"Okay, let's meet up back here." He said, then ran towards the Beowolves that were in front of us.
I guess I was stuck with looking for any other Grimm in and around the village.
I ran around the streets and paths, but was unsuccessful in finding any other Grimm, other than the ones Gabe was fighting.
I decided to make my way back to the entrance, where we were supposed to meet up.
On the way back, I noticed a dark moving figure outside of the village.
Finally, I get some action! I thought to myself.
I walked towards it, but not getting too close, in case it was an ambush of some sort.
"Come on! I know you're there!" I yelled.
The figure stopped moving.
Even though I had nearly perfect vision in the dark, it was still difficult to try and make out the shape of what was in the shade. (BTW, if you hadn't figured it out yet, it's night time)
I stepped forward, being cautious. Preparing for an attack at any moment.
I got closer and closer, one or two steps at a time.
When I was about thirty feet from whatever it was, I started to see what looked to be a brown cloak of some sort.
Before I could make any more observations,something whipped through the air and hit me in the gut, flinging me into a house at the edge of the village.
I recovered and got up, just as the house collapsed behind me.
"Who are you?" I shouted.
There was no answer, whoever it was, decided to finally come out of the shade and face me.
The only thing I saw was still just a brown cloak.
Whoever this was, they did not want me to know what they look like.
I was thinking about calling Gabe for help, but the figure had decided to stop hiding them self and threw aside the cloak.
