The New Rose

Chapter 26 - End of the Line

It was just one thing after another for Ruby and her team, their crash landing had somehow worked and now there were grimm coming out of every crack in the street. What's more, there were civilians that were trying to escape as they were in the middle of Vale. That was going to be hard to do given the number of grimm that surrounded the area, some of them dangerous and others were extremely dangerous.

To make matters worse, it seemed like Ruby and her team as well as Doctor Oobleck were the only hunters in the vicinity, so it would be up to them to clear the place out. Ruby didn't doubt her abilities or her teammates, they might irritate her but they fight pretty well. She was a bit worried about Yang though since she seemed to be a bit beat up but she knew Yang was to stubborn to back down. Plus, they had Doctor Oobleck a licensed huntsman, everything would be fine, and her boss and friend were on their way.

"They're all lined up, let's knock em down." Ruby commanded as she charged, her team doing the same thing after rolling their eyes.

Ruby attacked a group of grimm that were circling her, using crescent rose in her dual pistol form so her shots could go multiple directions. While dodging grimm swipes one after another with her flexibility, Ruby's precision showed its face as she hit all the grimm in the head causing them to disintegrate. Weiss was able to take out a group of grimm as well as Blake, so did Yang but Yang did not think her strategy through as she was in the air and flying grimm were coming at her.

'Sigh, I have to do EVERYTHING around here.' Ruby thought annoyed as she put Crescent Rose in her sniper form.

Ruby was able to take care of the three grimm coming at Yang without harming her cousin, who was able to rebound and land on the ground with ease. As Ruby expected she didn't get a thank you from Yang just a glare and a huff before she went back to attacking. Ruby rolled her eyes in amusement, her cousin was so prideful and prone to anger that it would be awhile before she got over what upset her. It was fine with Ruby though, Yang's opinions no longer mattered to her.

The fight went on and Ruby was about to take down a giant snake grimm before Nora showed up and smacked it on the head with her hammer. Ruby shrugged, that was one way to take care of it she supposed and thankfully Nora didn't damage anything else, yet. The rest of team JNPR appeared and Pyrrha took charge, causing Jaune to pout to Ruby's amusement. The three trained fighters started kicking grimm ass while Jaune just stood there wondering what to do against a grimm and Ruby pinched her temples.

"Jaune, SWING THE SWORD!" Ruby said annoyed at the boy who yelped but then did as he was told.

Soon after the grimms head was off and Ruby nodded in approval before dashing off to take care of the other grimm. She knew that Jaune was the weakest of the fighters, but that sword could still get the job done if he didn't hesitate. There were more that joined the party, Sun Wukong and his dorky friend Neptune who started killing Grimm with style or whatever they called it. Team CFVY showed up with Professor Port and they were definitely a big help.

The most terrifying addition was Professor Goodwitch who when pissed off was more dangerous than any grimm imaginable. And like everyone thought, she was throwing grimm left and right with the force of a moving truck. She also fixed the wreckage in the street thanks to her semblance, so things were finally looking up for them. That was until more grimm starting appearing and everyone collectively groaned, here they go again.

"Gah there is no end to them!" Yang said angrily and Ruby was about to agree until she looked to the sky.

"No worries, we got this." Ruby said simply as she pointed to the sky.

Everyone around Ruby was confused until their eyes widened as they saw multiple airships coming into view. The ships opened and there were multiple Atlesian soldiers that were ready for battle, but one ship was fronted by three familiar women ready to fight. They led the way as they jumped down and started handling the grimm in the city. Mira was taking grimm out using her claws, while her bosses were using their staff and naginata respectively take care of the others.
