Everything Stays: In the Future

Hideout Raid

Stark and his friends run through the corridor and come across a band of Indigo Gang members. Stark and Night instantly charge forward and leap onto the walls and jump over the gangsters. Stark does a back kick to one as Night slashes at a few more to take them out. Mars leads the rest of the group down the hallway but has to shield himself when Auburn enters the scene. She fires a couple rounds to get the huntsmen back into cover.

As the five were in cover, Vert ran up and flipped over Sterling before kicking him in the face. While in the flip, Vert readied his gauntlet and punched Pyrrha in the face, forcing her out of cover. Mars leapt back and began to fire his crossbow to cover Pyrrha and forced Auburn to duck down. Night, using a wall for momentum, attempted to kick Vert but he dodged the attack and spun around. Upon spinning, Stark punched Vert in the face and sent him flying, slightly, through the air.

Sterling quickly summoned two glyphs and Vert bounced off of one and into the other. The second launched Vert down the hall and into Auburn, knocking her and him, out for now. Clayton then came running down the hall and threw a punch towards Sterling's head. Sterling punched and the punch went into the wall.

Sterling: GO!

Stark, Pyrrha and Mars went on. Night, meanwhile, slid underneath Clayton and kicked him the back of the leg. Clayton went down to a knee and Sterling summoned ice around the man to freeze him in place. Night walked over in front of him and punched him the face. Clayton groaned in pain a bit as Sterling and Night look at one another. Sterling stabbed the ground and summoned a Beowolf to stand guard. The two than ran off as the white Grimm circled around Clayton.

Clayton: Oh, I hate those children.

Sterling and Night continue to run down the halls until they finally find their friends fighting off more guards. Stark flips back and kicks one in the face as Mars and Pyrrha are firing out across a large floor towards other guards. Stark looks over and sees Night and Sterling arrive.

Stark: What, you two getting sleepy?

Night: Says the guy who has been trapped here for three days.

A bullet whizzes by her head and she quickly gets down for cover.

Mars: Their numbers are lower! We got this one guys!

On a ledge overlooking the floor, Magnus stands along with Oliva and Marvos.

Marvos: Get them off guard. I'll take it from there.

Magnus: On it!

Magnus leapt down with his metal pole and threw it towards the five. The five all dodge the attack and roll out of the way. Magnus used his semblance and launched the pole at the backs of Pyrrha and Night. While the pole hit Pyrrha, it failed to hit Night and instead, ran through a box. Mars leapt out of cover and fired three arrows at Magnus. Magnus uses his semblance to deflect the arrows. However, he fails to see Stark run up and kick Magnus in the chin.

Night throws one of her swords like a boomerang and hits Magnus in the head. Stark runs over and does a breakdance maneuver to trip Magnus. Once Stark lands on his feet, he grabs Magnus' ankle, pulls back and punches Magnus in the face. Further ahead, Pyrrha is countering some of Oliva's strikes. Pyrrha spins her axe around and slams it down onto Oliva's knife. Pyrrha goes in for a roundhouse and successfully kicks Oliva in the face.

Mars transforms his crossbow into his axe and runs over to Magnus and slams it down onto the pole. Magnus uses his semblance and slowly pushes Mars' axe backwards. Sterling runs alongside Magnus and summons two glyphs. One launches Magnus into the the other and they bounce him back and forth until he is launched up onto a catwalk and is knocked out.

Sterling charges forward and unleashes several stabs at more foes. After clearing a large number of them, Sterling stabs the ground and forms an ice wall that he, Mars and Stark take cover behind.

Mars: Thanks for the save man.

Mars and Sterling fist bump one another. Meanwhile, Pyrrha lunges forward slams her axe down in front of Oliva. Oliva rolled to evade and leapt up to kick Pyrrha in the face. Pyrrha dodged the attack and spun her axe around and slammed it back down onto Oliva's knife. Sterling summoned another glyph and fired a line of ice at Oliva, freezing her against the wall.

A guard walks along the catwalk with a chain gun and looks down at the battle. He smirks and begins to open fire at the group of teens. Night tackles Pyrrha out of the way and back into cover behind some steel crates. Sterling looks back at Stark who nods in response.

Stark: Covering fire!

Mars and Stark run out from cover to the walls for a diversion. Sterling runs out and summons a glyph, catching the bullets and redirecting them at the catwalk. The catwalk shatters and the man falls to the ground. Night elbows a crate and it opens to revel Breakaway, Stark's weapons.

Night: Starky!

Night tosses the wrist blades away and Stark throws the other sword back to Night.

Stark: Thanks!

The five then run forward until the doors in the back opened back up and Clayton, Auburn and Vert all walk inside. The other side side of the room is Beryl Indigo and several more Indigo Gang members.

Beryl: I knew bringing you here was going to be a bitch-in-a-half.

Stark: Well...at least I know you put the effort in.

Beryl: Clearly. (Points to them) Kill 'em.

The guns all open fire and the teens hop behind Sterling's ice wall. Oliva drags Magnus out of the way of fire and into cover. After some more bullets fly by, Marvos leaps from the rafters and grabs the heads of Mars and Night and slams them together. Marvos lands and back kicks Sterling from cover. The Schnee blocks the bullets with a glyph before running up and attacking the goons.

As Marvos lands, he goes to punch Pyrrha but Stark quick blocks the attack with a forearm block. Marvos begins to force Stark back with a few punches and kicks until Stark and Marvos block one another kicks. Marvos spins around and goes for an axe kick that Stark evades. He sees Clayton coming from behind and ducks down and lets Clayton punch Marvos into the wall. Pyrrha fires a round a Clayton, making him stumble back and Stark then handsprings up to kick him across the room.

Stark turns back and smiles at Pyrrha. She points behind him and Stark moves his head to avoid one of Vert's punches. Stark kicks back onto Vert's stomach and twists his arm and gets Vert into a scissor hold. Stark slams his fists onto Vert's face to launch himself off of the gangster and Pyrrha lunges in and slams the back of her axe against his face.

Stark smiles at Pyrrha until a few gunshots are heard and a bullet hits Stark in the leg. He winces and Pyrrha runs between him and Auburn. Auburn glares on and continues to shoot at the two.

Auburn: (To Vert) Get up you idiot!

Vert clenches his head and slowly does so. Pyrrha blocks a few more bullets until one whizzes past and nearly hits Stark again. Stark opens fire with his wrist blades to fire back.

Pyrrha: Sterling! Cover!

Sterling spins and slams his sword into the ground and summons an entire pack of white Grimm. They roar and charge in towards the enemies of Sterling. Sterling runs over to his allies and helps Stark up.

Stark: Thanks.

Sterling: Dont mention it.

Stark: You know...maybe we should have brought in our teammates. Make this a bit easier.

Sterling: You think?!

Stark: Just saying man.

Mars: Argue later! Cover now!

The five move over to a small outlet and let the Grimm provide more cover.

Stark: How long will those summons last?

Sterling: Not long.

Stark: Then we gotta think of something...and think of it fast.
