A new dawn in Remnant: Volume 7

Sparks

The sun rised over Atlas Academy while Team RWBY snored in their beds.

Penny: Salutations!

Team RWBY were startled awake by Penny shouting her greeting in the middle of their dorm room.

Penny: Good morning, Team RWBY!

Yang: Ugh, Penny. What time is it even?

Penny: Time to be Huntresses, of course!

Penny stroke a pose, holding up two fingers by her head and winking. Weiss, Blake and Yang groaned, while Ruby excitedly got to her feet.

Ruby: YAAAAHOOOOOOOO!!

Jaune walked into a briefing room with a coffee mug and heads over to where Team RWBY, the Ace Operatives and his teammates are sitting. He takes a seat between Marrow and Byleth and cheerfully prepared to sip his steaming hot coffee, only to notice Marrow staring and wagging his tail. Jaune frowned and handed the mug to Marrow.

Jaune: *sighs* Sure, take it.

Marrow drank happily the coffee, while Jaune hanged his head. Byleth who had a cup of black tea in his hand, smiled at the scene in amusement. Panne (sits beside Marrow), however wasn't amused

Panne: What a puppy. *looks to the side and sees Marrow handing her a piece of carrot cake* Thanks. *takes the cake and eats*

Clover: Eyes up, Huntsmen. Time to get used to the new normal in Atlas.

Sometime later, Ruby and Qrow were riding in a truck that was being driven by an Atlesian Knight. Qrow had fallen asleep, so Ruby looked annoyed and elbowed him awake.

Clover: Your top priority is Amity Tower. That means protecting supply runs from Grimm and bandits. And protecting the site itself.

Ruby, Weiss and Maira dropped down from the sky toward a Manticore outside the SDC Mine #2. Weiss severed its tail, and Ruby cut it in half. Weiss then levitated a group of Beowolves into the air to allow Ruby to more easily kill them, then turned her attention to a group of Sabyrs. Weiss formed a replica of her Arma Gigas' sword out of ice and used a glyph to swing it, instantly slaying the Sabyrs. Maira was grabbing two Sabyr's by their throats, lifted them up and extended her claws from the gauntlets Beast Fang, piercing their throats. With the Grimm in the area killed, Ruby gave a thumbs up to three Mantas as they flew overhead.

Clover: Diverting all construction resources to Amity Tower means there are going to be gaps in Mantle's defenses against Grimm. They'll need help on the perimeter.

Nora followed Ren along the top of Mantle's outer wall, playing with his braid. Ren heared growling below and stopped to look, causing Nora to bump into him. The two of them looked down at the Sabyrs approaching the wall and drew their weapons.

Inside of the abandoned Dust mine, Yang, Blake, Azura, Panne and Marrow fought Beowolves. After they killed a few of the Grimm, Marrow turned to the three girls.

Marrow: Hey, have you three ever thought about branching out a little? You always pair up, but I don't know if your styles really--

Yang's eyes turned red upon spotting another Beowolf that came running toward her. She used the recoil from her weapons to launch herself at it and punched it in the head. She then rapidly attached several explosives to its abdomen and slided between its legs to get behind it. Blake tossed her sickle to Yang, who stabbed it into the Beowolf's chest and fired Ember Celica to launch the Beowolf into the air. Blake tugged on her ribbon to throw the Beowolf toward two more Beowolves closer to the mine entrance, at which point Yang's explosives went off, killing all three. Another Beowolf showed up and Azura swung her Blessed Lance to create water blades and slashed it. When the Grimm was pushed back, she raised her lance at his direction and another water beam, this time in form of a spear got frozen, flew to it's direction and impaled the Beowolf, killing it. Marrow and Panne watched the whole event and turned back to Blake, Yang and Azura, who gave him disapproving looks.
