Chapter 55

~Remnant-II~

RWBY and the others were killing Grimm left and right. All was going well. But they felt that something was wrong. They did not disregard these feelings, as each felt a sense of dread.

Ruby looked at each of her friends. "Guys! Did any of you feel that?"

Yang answered. "I did! I felt something was going to happen soon! We need to clean up all the Grimm as soon as we can! I'm not going to ignore my instincts."

Weiss spoke. "We need to evacuate all these soldiers. Whatever is causing our senses to feel this way must be something huge!"

Nora smashed a Grimm with Magnhild, followed by a lightning strike. Lei sliced the head off of a Manticore. Then Pyrrha bashed her shield on the Megoliath, sending it flying.

Nora stopped what she was doing and pointed at something. "Hey! There is something there!"

Everyone looked at where she was pointing. It was a giant dog like Grimm with wings. But there was something amiss about it.

Pyrrha voiced her concern. "Something is going on with that Grimm."

Lei nodded. "Indeed. It seems to be writhing in pain."

Ruby voiced her opinion. "But Grimm does not feel pain. At least, I don't think so."

While they were watching the Grimm in the air, they felt a massive surge of energy coming from it. This had them worried. Ruby spoke. "That feeling that we were feeling, I think this is it! We need to get everyone out of here, now!"

Ruby and the others made their way back to the others.

Rose and her friends saw them telling everyone to evacuate. This was not a good sign. If people, as powerful as they are, are evacuating people, then there must be something wrong.

Rose used her semblance to arrive in front of Ruby. She asked. "What is going on?"

Ruby pointed at the Grimm in the sky. "See that? Something is wrong with it, and we feel massive energy coming from it. It is emitting more power than Jaune!"

Rose was shocked, and so were her friends. "Are you serious?"

Ruby nodded. "Deadly serious. We need to evacuate everyone out of here!"

Evacuate they did. Ruby and Rose spoke to Winter and Qrow to get the word out to get out of the immediate area. However, it was too late. The Grimm was changed. Its once-white mask has become black with purple lines. Its body was turned gray with tentacles jutting out of its back.

Qrow, whom Rose was speaking to, saw the thing in front of him. "That is not good."

The Grimm, now known as Tentacle Monster, used its tentacles to grab Ruby and Rose. Luckily, Jaune arrived in time to deflect the tentacles. Unfortunately, even using his Omni-Sword form, the [Absolute Armament] did nothing to it.

Jaune looked at them. "Evacuate everyone and leave the Tentacle Monster to me! For some reason, I want to ensure that thing catches none of you girls."

Ruby nodded at Jaune. "Whatever that thing is, be careful! I can feel how much more powerful it is compared to you."

Jaune returned the nod. "I know. Now, go! Get everyone to safety! And ask Pyrrha to use her shield to protect everyone!"

It did not take long before everyone was taken to safety. If anywhere was safe. There was a reason Jaune asked Ruby to tell Pyrrha to use her shield to protect everyone. It was the only thing that could do so. It is, after all, Akhilleus Kosmos.
