Assassin's Creed: RWBY

Chapter 10: Bleeding Effect

First Person POV, Shao Ip
I hacked and slashed every Abstergo agent in my vicinity with my Jian, unfortunately some of them escaped. But before I can chase after them, Daniel Cross shot at me with his gun. Thankfully, I was able to move out the way and took cover behind the temple ruins. But I was cornered, he had a gun that can pierce my Aura and I can't get close to him with my jian.

Daniel: Let's not draw this out. You've got nowhere to go and I've got a gun. *reloads his gun* Speaking of which... It's the new century and you're still running around with only a short range blade for protection? It's stupid. Alright kid. Game's over. *points his gun at Ip*

I close my eyes, thinking this is the end, but the bullet never reached my head. Instead, heard Daniel mumbling to himself. I look over from the ruin pillar I was hiding behind and notice that Daniel was suffering a bleeding effect, a side effect as a result of excessive use of the Animus.

Daniel: Not now... Not...now... There is still work to be done. Niet! (No!) Get out! *runs off*

Me: The hell was that?

I ran after him hoping to catch him before he or Abstergo finds the students.

Third Person
An overhead shot shows that the group is heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. They spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks with their allies as it perches on a high column and caws.

Yang: *annoyed* Well, that's great!

Jaune looks behind at the Death Stalker bursting onto the scene, followed by Abstergo agents from behind

Abstergo Agent: Stop them!

Jaune: Ah, man, run! *the group emerges from their hiding spots, causing the Nevermore to rise up into the air while the Abstergo Agents open fires*

Ren: Nora, distract them!

Nora obliges, running out from her block and jumping through the feather projectiles and bullets before reaching behind her and launching several heart-topped shells from her grenade launcher, bursting into pink electricity when they hit the Nevermore and Abstergo agents, causing them to retreat. She is unaware of the Death Stalker rushing up behind her until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leap to safety while Blake and Ren are now being chased.

Pyrrha: Go, go! *stops running beside Jaune and gets out Miló, firing red shots alongside Ren's green blasts for a second until it reaches them and tries to swipe, prompting the group to run again*

The eight race over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and leaving Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha on the other side with the Death Stalker and more Abstergo Agents. Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore and Abstergo Agents while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.

Jaune: *coming to the edge of the break in the bridge* Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!

Nora: *running up beside him* Let's do this!

Jaune: *looks down at the misty abyss* Yeah, but, uh... I can't make that jump.

Nora smiles diabolically at him, laughing as she knocks him back, turns her weapon to its full-length hammer form, and jumps to the edge of the bridge.
