(Volume 2 Finale) Chapter 20: Hearts Are One

On the Beacon Rooftops...

The battle in the center of Vale could be spotted all the way from the Beacon Academy, with the biggest beacon being the plume of smoke rising into the golden sky. Cinder Fall watched with an expression that seemed a bit troubled, as if she wasn't expecting this to happen. As the alarms in the distance and at the Academy itself continued to blare, her subordinates, Emerald, and Mercury approached her from behind.

Emerald: "Is that...?"

Mercury: "Looks like."

Emerald: "But that's days from now. And Jet isn't here yet."

Mercury: "So, what should we do?" The brown-haired woman kept her silence for a brief moment as she narrowed her eyes.

Volume 2 Finale
>Chapter 20: Hearts Are One<

The rally cries of the team of six echoed through the town center as the battle raged on against the invading Grimm. Ruby planted the tip of Crescent Rose's blade into the ground and hopped up before kicking off one Beowolf before using the momentum she had to essentially start running along the Grimm that surrounded her, kicking them all down. With her using Ember Celica to launch herself into the sky, Yang continued to rain explosives down on the Grimm before suddenly, Nevermores flew into her and knocked her down, her impact on the ground creating a small crater.

Leaping from the wall of a building was Setsuna, her Ice Wolf Claws fully sharpened and ready to go. She pounced onto one Deathstalker and began to claw away at the armored top that it had, but the giant scorpion knocked her off violently. With a pained grunt coming from her, she looked back towards it, gritting her teeth as she yelled in rage before she launched herself towards it and slashed the tail and stinger off with her claws, causing Grimm to shriek in pain. It would soon be put out of its misery as Setsuna took the discarded stinger and slammed it into the Deathstalker's body, instantly killing it.

Using Myrtenaster, Weiss slashed three Beowolves before using her Glyphs and Ice Dust to create a large Ice Sword that did a sweeping slash around her, decapitating multiple Grimm that surrounded her. Blake on the other hand was surrounded by Beowolves. After cutting down one with her cleaver, she transformed Gambol Shroud into its SMG form and got into a low stance, with her balancing on one of her heels. She began to rotate in place while pulling the trigger, downing every Grimm around her.

With his GN Sword, Alpha in GN Rifle mode, Akito, who wore the armor of the Gundam Exia clipped the wings of two Giant Nevermores that were swooping down towards him, causing them to crash into the ground before he unsheathed the GN Long Sword from his left hip with his left hand and made a sweeping slash, beheading three Beowolves that had charged him. Then, the hissing of the King Taijitu caught his attention and he turned towards it, glaring up at it.

Akito (Exia): "C'mon you overgrown venom hose!" Offended by his insult, the King Taijitu's exposed black head was about to launch itself at him before there was the sound of an explosion, followed by joyful laughter. Both Akito and the King Taijitu looked up to see the sight of a particular Nora Valkyrie flying through the air on her hammer, Magnhild.

Nora: "NORA SMASH!" She yelled as she came in hot and smashed the top of the King Taijitu's head with Magnhild, killing it instantly.

Autumn: "Ah, I taught her that~!"

Summer: "No you didn't..."

Akito (Exia): "Heh... Starting things off with a bang huh, Nora?"

Nora: "You betcha!" She grinned as the armored wolf chuckled before GN particles ejected from the back of Exia as he took off into the skies. Soon after, the rest of Team JNPR landed next to Nora, with Pyrrha doing her classic Superhero landing.
