RWBY: This is War

Goodbye

3rd person p.o.v.:

Chaos erupts everywhere. Screams of terror can be heard for miles and everyone replays the horror that had just happened before them. One voice can be heard over all the screams though. A voice that only gives off the sound of pain, grief and suffering. A voice calling out the name that shall never be heard by it's owner again.

"PPPEEENNNYYY!!!"

Ruby sits there on the ground staring at the lifeless body she once called a friend. Sparks of light came every few seconds as if it wanted to power back up, but all in vain.

Her dulled silver eyes move to a silhouette standing across from the body.

Phyrra

She stands there, motionless. Staring souless at her fallen opponent. Tears fall down her now pale white cheeks onto the cold metal arena floor. She mumbles the same words over and over again.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...."

The screams are soon silenced as a shadow hangs over the entirety of the structure. The fear in the air becomes thick. Everyone knows whats going to happen next as they look up at a giant Nevermore.

"SKKKRRRREEEEEE!!!!" It shrieks out thrashing it's black wings into the air then dive bombing the barrier.

Everyone panics once more and runs for the exit. Pushing, shoving, trying to get out as quickly as possible. Ironwood's voice can be heard over the intercom but it is usless at this point. Phyrra still stands there. Frozen in time. While Juane desperately screams at her to move. But she does not budge.

Juane jumps the wall and dashes to his teammate as the Nevermore breaks in hitting the ground with a loud thud. Penny's body flies off from the impact as Juane and Phyrra are knocked to their feet. The Nevermore rushes forward and opens it's beak to eat the young girl.

Phyrra closes her eyes excepting what is about to happen but then hears a glass shattering cry of pain. As she opens her eyes she sees Ruby stand between her and the Nevermore. She holds one of Penny's swords in her hand.

"Stay away from her!" She screams at the monster, no fear is heard in her voice. Only strength and will.

The Nevermore rushes forward again but Ruby stands her ground. She won't let another friend die. Not while she can still stand.

She braces herself to attack but watches as dozens of lockers stab their way into the bird dragging it to the ground. She watches as her friends and even opponents grab their gear triumphantly.

The Nevermore's body soon disintegrates leaving no trace of the horrid beast. But it is not over yet as many Griffins fly down and start to attack the young hunters.

One strikes down on Ruby causing her to fall onto her back. While the other fight she is left scrambling back as the Griffin closes in. The Grimm dashes at her and she holds up her hands in fear and watches as one of the metal doors from the lockers flies into the body of the Griffin cutting it in two.

Phyrra stands there arm raised outward glowing as she uses her semblance to drop the bloodied door. She then falls to her knees but is caught by Ruby who holds onto her tightly.

"Ruby. I-I'm. I didn't mean to-"

"Phyrra it's okay. It wasn't your fault." Phyrra takes a sharp breath in as Ruby places her hand to the girl's cheek.

"Whoever did this will pay. But I need your help." Ruby wipes away a stray tear that was on Phyrra's cheek.

".......alright." They both stand up to see the others had delt with the Griffins.

"Sun. I need your scroll."

The monkey boy tosses his scroll to the heroine as she punches in a few numbers and a locker touches down a few feet from her opening to reveal Crescent Rose. She grabs her weapon and it soon extends to it's full length. She turns to face the other with a grim smirk on her face.

"Let's get moving."

tiny side note to anyone who reads this.

I have been struggling with many things lately in my life. Keeping up with these books have been very hard and I am unable to make as long chapters as I used to and they aren't as good as they used to be either. Im sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you will forgive me.

I've also beeing having problems with finding people who care about me and seeing the love that you all give me helps so much. If you would like to talk I'm always open for a conversation.
