The REDS of war

Volume Six Chapter One

In a snowy area, a train horn can be heard blaring in the distance. The train zooms by a mountainside as it is being chased by winged Grimm called Manticores. One Manticore flies in but is shot down by something off screen. The Manticore rolls along the train before being sliced by none other than Ruby Rose. The Grimm dissolves and Ruby poses with Crescent Rose behind her back.

"Got him, now who's next?" Ruby cheers.

A Manticore tries to attack Ruby from behind, but it is stopped by large shards of ice that cause to crash into the mountain.

Weiss Schnee zooms by Ruby on her Glyphs. "Thank me later!"

Weiss proceeds forward and takes down two more Manticores. Next to her Erin and Rei fight side by side Rei using his se,balance to pull the Manticore down allowing Erin to stab it in the head.

"Gotta keep with us, Rubes!" Rei says notching an arrow and firing it killing his eighth manticore.

Meanwhile, Blake Belladonna uses Gambol Shroud's kusarigama form to swing into the air. "Incoming!"

She wraps Gambol Shroud's ribbon around the neck of a Manticore, allowing Yang Xiao Long to punch through it, causing it to dissipate. Yang and Blake land back on the train, standing next to each other.

"Good to see you're not rusty."

Behind them as they have their moment Sky jumps past them slamming a flaming fist into the face of a Manticore. The two proceed forward as Teams RWBY and REDS continue taking down Manticores. The camera pans a few train cars down to see Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren, as well as Oscar Pine all climb to the top of the train to join the battle. Oscar runs off towards the front of the train.

"Why is it always something?" Nora says grumbling in annoyance.

"Just keep it towards the back!" Rei orders.

The members of Team JNPR join the battle, with Jaune using Crocea Mors' shield to block a Manticore's fireball. Nora uses Magnhild's grenade launcher form to shoot a Manticore at point blank range. Ren fires StormFlower. Turrets on the train help assist the young Huntsmen and Huntresses with taking Grimm out of the sky.

"Ren!" Nora runs forward and Ren grabs her hand to swing her over to the next train car. She fires off a couple grenades before transforming her weapon into its hammer form and smashing a Manticore in the head.

"TUNNEL!!" Oscar shouts.

Everyone stops and notices the tunnel ahead.

Rei shrugs. "Go!" He orders as he and Erin leap around the edge of the top of the train and through open windows. Sky sighs and takes a step back falling onto a latch between two cars. Everyone proceeds to get below into the train cars. Weiss almost falls off the train when a Manticore's fireball barely misses her. Ruby catches her by her wrist.

"Thank me later!" Ruby then uses her Semblance and the two of them manage to get below into the train before the tunnel approaches.

"I can't believe he turned his back on us. He just--!" A door is heard opening. Visuals show the door opened in the seemingly empty White Fang Throne Room in Mistral. Voices can be heard as the camera continues to pan down the hall.

Adam slowly walks towards the throne. "Step away from my throne, we have work to do..."

"We? Everyone knows what you did. You abandoned your brothers at Haven!"

"Step. Away. From my--!"

"We're not taking orders from you anymore! We heard you folded the moment you got sass from the Belladonna girl and Eclipse. I guess she's got more control over you than you--!" Suddenly, a sword drawn is heard. "What? No...!" More sounds of slashes and battle are heard as the camera pans over many dead bodies of White Fang soldiers, bloodied and strewn about the floor. The camera stops to show Adam himself sitting on the throne rubbing his chin.
