Crossing fates

Unleashed

-Ruby point of view-

2B and Ahri told me, my team and Amelie to move towards the city to help anyone in danger, I didn't like the idea of leaving them behind with a mechanical hydra, but I know they would be able to win that fight. I saw the faces that my team was making, they had the same worried expression. I don't blame them; the situation is really bad, and the worst part is that no one was expecting something this big would happen.

But this wasn't the moment to think in those things, our objective right now was to save the people from the city.

After some minutes of running, we reached the city. Seeing the chaos around the place we saw several groups of people running from some things that I could only describe as goblins covered in feathers. Seeing the quantity of people, I made an order to my team.

Me: Everyone go in separate ways, we need to cover as much terrain as possible, if anyone is in trouble, shoot a fire dust bullet to the sky to call for backup. Now move!

WBY: Yes ma'am!

They called me ma'am even when I'm younger than them! And I didn't like it!

Whatever, I need to focus on the people in trouble, as the girls went in different direction I saw a group running away from a weird looking lizard, it was covered in feathers too, does that maniac Mordian have an obsession with feathers?

Whatever, I saw Amelie running to the beast and anchoring her knife on the ground, using it to swing her great sword and slash the lizard's front legs. The lizard then growled and send a shockwave towards Amelie, but she evaded rolling away and jumping towards the lizard, her sword landed directly on the lizard head, cutting it in half.

She directed herself to the citizens while the beast was vanishing in static.

Amelie: Is everyone ok?

I saw everything from afar while sniping some goblins on the roofs, but then I saw another lizard behind the people. I used the recoil of Crescent Rose to dash towards the crowd, bursting into rose petals to pass them without problems and reassembling myself to cut down the lizard, it stumbled back while I surrounded it and cut horizontally to bisect its legs, then I slashed up creating a huge wound on its belly while also elevating it a little; and while it was still in the air I finished it off putting the blade of my scythe at the other side of its body and shooting, the strong recoil pushed the blade through the lizard body and separated it in two parts.

As the lizard vanished in static I got close to the crowd and heard the voices of my team coming from different directions.

Yang: Rubes!

Weiss: Ruby!

Blake: I have some people over here!

The three came closer to the crowd I saved with Amelie escorting their own groups, I gave my team a thumbs up and turned to see Amelie, she was reuniting the people, when everybody was together she asked the crowd.

Amelie: Where is the city shelter?

A man in the front answered her with a relieved expression.

Citizen: It's the city hall, it has the strongest defenses in the entire city, those monsters won't be able to get in.

Amelie: Then we will escort you there, stay close and don't separate from the group!

The crowd yelled in confirmation, she then looked at me and my team.

Amelie: Please, can you position yourselves around the people to protect them from every angle?

Weiss: Of course.
