A Different Huntsman (a RWBY fanfiction)

chapter 37

"Who's this guy?" Mesagi asked, pointing to the silver haired, who had fainted.

"Mercury Black," Neo replied, writing in her notepad and shoved it into his face.

"I see. Mercury. . . Emerald. . . Mercury, Emerald. . ." He looked at Mercury and Emerald back and forth.

Neo saw this and tilted her head in confusion. Eventually Liao and Tankou, the latter carrying the blonde over her shoulders, appeared out of the building.

Mesagi blinked, seeing Tankou completely covered in blood, while Liao was holding onto his left arm.

"We got her. . . How do we get out of here?" Liao asked. Mesagi blinked.

"I. . . Haven't thought of that," Mesagi replied, laughing nervously. They all facepalmed.

"Mesagi? You're alive?" The blonde asked. "Really am, Yang Xiao Long," Mesagi replied.

Yang smiled. "Besides, if I do die, I have to die with a Yang," Mesagi replied, using her pun.

"Hey, hey! You two stop playing around and get serious. How do we get outta here?" Tankou chimed.

"I dunno. Tried the engine on the Bullhead. Seems like it won't work," Neo replied.

They all sighed, before they saw grunts coming out of the building, which made them sigh.

"Let's go," Mesagi put Yang leaning against the broken Bullhead, before MNTL ran towards the grunts.

Mesagi saw Tankou was faster than any of them, and before he even realised, the first blood had been spilt.

Tankou had decapitated a grunt's head, while Liao punched a grunt to the chest, which caused the grunt to fly, hitting his fellow comrades, causing some to fall into the unknown chasm at the side.

Mesagi used his chains to trip some of the grunts, while Neo kicked the one in the front lines, causing some to also fall into the chasm.

Eventually, a few had retreated, while the ones left were the ones who were killed by Tankou, which were at least 15 people.

"Oh gosh. Blood's everywhere," Tankou said, looking at herself, as she was blood-stained.

Suddenly, Tankou was kicked away by Mercury, causing her to fall to the chasm.

"TANKOU!!" Mesagi yelled out, although knowing it was pointless to do so.

"You son of a b*tch," Liao growled out, before going towards Mercury, attempting to beat him up.

Both were surprisingly on par as both attempted to struck blows to each other, only to be parried.

Neo then saw the glacier had also melted rather quickly, and Emerald was breaking the ice that binded her feet.

Neo and Mesagi, who the latter was informed of the situation, attempted to stop Emerald, but was too late.

Emerald's feet came free, and before Mesagi could react, Emerald's blades cut his face and across his chest.

This caused Mesagi to fall on his back, while Neo continued on to attack Emerald with her blade, but her attack failed, as Emerald parried her blade and Neo's blade flew from her hand.

Mesagi threw his katana to Emerald, and Emerald easily dodged it, but this gave time for Neo to attack.

She went to kick Emerald in the face, and it hit. Emerald was on her knees, holding her face.

Mesagi stood up, as he looked at Liao, bruised but was still fighting Mercury.

Mesagi then saw another Bullhead coming towards their way, but his instincts told him that it was not a good sign.

Indeed, his instincts were correct, as the pilot of the Bullhead was none other than Cinder Fall.
