RWBY and APRJ: volume 1

Chapter 10: the badge and the burden part 2

Weiss and Pico had their usual clothes on and the weapons ready, determined to face the Grimm that was dying to break out of the cage that it was being held captive in. Weiss had her rapier, whilst Pico had his twin daggers that he still had as temporary from yesterday.

"Go, Weiss!" Yang cheered.

"Fight well!" Blake added.

"Yeah, represent Team RWBY!" Ruby finished.

"Ruby, I am trying to concentrate!" Weiss growled, making Ruby slump back in her seat with a sad look on her face. Weiss sighed, she knew she was just cheering her on, but all she wanted was silence.

"Sorry" Ruby looked down, making Pico look at Weiss in a confused manner.

"Really? At Ruby, when the others were shouting too?" He rhetorically asked.

"She just...gets on my nerves sometimes" Weiss changed her glance back to the cage, as well as the wolf Faunus too.

"Give it hell, buddy!" Jotaro shouted.

"No doubt about that" Pico made a devilish smirk, he was confident, especially with Weiss by his side, even if she was a bit annoying.

"Alright, let the match...begin!" Professor Port then used a battle-axe to cut the lock straight off the cage, making the creature squeal and run out of it. The creature that erupted from it looked like huge wild boar. Pico then had a quick improvisation.

"Split up and attack!" Weiss followed as they both attack the boar from it's sides. Its four, orange eyes, staring at them, looking and feeling like hellfire. Port chuckled a bit.

"Wasn't expecting THAT we're you two?" Weiss and Pico shrugged the question off and focused on the Grimm in front of them. The boar tried to attack them, but they dodged once again, until...

"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby cheered. Weiss got distracted and missed her chance for an attack, making the boar get a hit off her as she soon got her weapon stuck between the tusks of the boar.

"Pico, remember what I said, the WHITE parts are eighty percent armour!" Amity informed, Pico nodded and dug the daggers right into the black, dull flesh of the Grimm, allowing Weiss to get free, but lose her weapon. The blood that stained Pico daggers were soon collected onto his hands and wiped on his shirt.

"That felt good" Pico grinned as the boar had trouble standing up after the blow it had just received. Pico helped Weiss up and gave her her weapon back.

"I...thank you, but I still could've done that by myself" Weiss crossed her arms again.

"It's not over yet" Pico turned his attention to the boar again.

"This is what I mean, working together has its benefits" Port explained, referring to what he said earlier. Ruby then perked up again.

"Weiss, go for its belly, there's no armour underneath-"

"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss shouted, making Ruby lose her happy mood and feel for unwanted, Amity took note and tried to reassure her.

"She right, though!" Pico shot back. "Look at where I stabbed it!"

Weiss looked at the wound that Pico inflicted on the Grimm, Ruby WAS right. Weiss immediately saw what she had done and got distracted.

"Weiss!" Pico tackled Weiss to the ground, knocking her out of her thoughts as the boar ran straight into the side of the classroom. "Sorry"

"No...I am" Weiss and Pico got up from the floor as the boar had had enough of the waiting. It started to roll fast, like a buzzsaw, and charged straight for Pico and Weiss. Weiss soon made a barrier with her rapier, knocking the boar down. She then smirked at Pico. "Together?"
