Solo Arc Chapter 30: The Battle for Beacon Part 1

- Beacon Courtyard -

Jaune was fighting tooth and nail against an endless wave of grimm. Even with Ironwood there to aid him with his troops and mechs, it was still a solid line of defense against a never ending tide of darkness.

And there was something mixed in with the grimm troops that sickened him to his core.

He saw weird smart Grimm that had various Grimm forms all over but with human souls trapped within. The witch Salem had actually mixed Humans with Grimm in a sick experiment! He grits his teeth in anger as he makes his way to the first of them.

- Armory -

Yang had her new and improved gauntlets on, they were now longer covering all of her fingers, palms, and wrists, and the back guards going all the way to elbow guards that had studs on them for more painful elbow strikes. Her gauntlets were also colored dark crimson now while her flame aura was licking at the edges of the metal. Her boots had become armored greaves and went all the way up to the knees ending in sharp edged knee guards allowing her more powerful kicks and more painful knee blows. Her spats had become skin tight kevlar weaved pants that went down into the boots, while her jacket had been swapped out for a new trench coat that was a dark mustard yellow with black flame designs around her collar and the edges of the coat bottom. Her bangle shined proudly on her arm and the gem gleamed brightly as it boosted her mana capacity allowing her to increase the damage output of her new summer maiden powers. Yang grins as her eyes turn blood red as her maiden powers come out coating her in flames.

(For full armor pic here it is, only give her a black crop top under the coat for her torso area.)

Ruby was dressed in a full body black kevlar suit with Red Crystal body armor pieces across it. There was a well forged chest plate, a pair of forearm guard gauntlets, A cod piece with armored belt, a pair of armored boots going to just under her knees, and a pair of mid thigh armor guards that gave her full use of her joints while protecting just a bit more of her body. She was embarrassed to say the least, but she couldn't deny the speed, power, and durability boost she got from this suit Jaune forged for her in his shop. It was even named the Garnet Rose. She was happy, but still! To have her whole body shape on display for this! She wants her battle skirt back!

(For full design here is the link, just no wolverine claws, since in the base battle mode they are retracted. )

Emerald was sweating a bit as she began her attack. She swung her kusari gama guns at Yang hoping the close range fighter would be unable to fight back. But she was shocked at the sudden reflexes Yang displayed. She punched Emeralds weapons away with a quick one two punch. Each weapon now sporting a fist shaped dent in her handles as she reeled them back in. She sends her grimm knights at the two girls only for their light soldiers to meet the charge. She grimaces as her knights are actually overwhelmed for a moment before they truly lose ground against the onslaught of the Hunters allies.

She uses her illusion ability to appear as 50 separate bodies in their eyes. Only for the clones she set up to suddenly be sniped one after the other. Each shot uses only one bullet from a semi auto burst from Rubies upgraded Scythe. She soon has a bullet flying at her head that she has to dodge. And right as she finishes her dodge there is a burst of flames coating her.

Emerald screams out in immense pain from the fire bath as she rolls out of it and lands with her aura eaten up by a good chunk. A quick look at her level reveals she is down to 75%. She is sweating now and looks up to see an angry fist flying down at her. She yelps and puts her weapons up to block. They hold but buckle hard in her grip as they dent and bend further from the hard fists attacking.
