Aura and the force : Reboot

Chapter 24: Search and Destroy x Jedi (part 2)

Doctor Ooblecks Pov (a/n: *grabs a cup of coffee*, here we go)

I watch my students as they engaged the Grimm as Ruby Unfolds Crescent Rose to prepare it for shooting.

"Cover your ears, Zwei!" Ruby said to Zwei as the dog does so, curling up into a ball.

As a single Beowolf and smiling Yang run towards one another, ending with the blonde knocking it out in one fiery punch as they pass. Several stop chasing after the party girl to focus on Blake, who stands and waits with hand on her hilt until one of the enemy swipes at her afterimage, the real deal slicing her would-be attacker in half before slashing through another and cutting down on one more.

Behind Blake I saw Weiss run from several black-coated beasts before jumping in the air and taking one down with her weapon. She dashes towards them with rapier held high and slays four of them in a straight line until she stops. A wave of Beowolves are converging on Ruby, but the scythe wielder shoots multiple bullets at the oncoming force... while Zwei is busy chasing his own tail. He stops to watch his owner fire forward and, after a dramatic mid-air stare-off, cut the single remaining Grimm in two.

"Heh. Piece of cake!" Ruby said looking at me lifting her weapon.

"Do not celebrate yet, for I am certain this is the first bout of many. Shall we continue?" I asked as the girls continue to fight the Grimm as I was rooting through a plant as Grimm parts fall around me. I was center in the faces of tired Huntresses.

"Excellent work, girls! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any signs of criminal operations in this sector. Oh, well! Moving on!" I said crying happily.

"Hey, Doc, y'know, I was actually looking forward to seeing a "pro Huntsman" in action. Like, fighting, or at least, helping us fight?" Yang asked me.

I look over my shoulder before turning to the team.

Ah, but I am in action! Scouring the ruins of this once-great city for any signs of irregularity! Not every mission is filled with daring and heroism, girls. Sometimes it's just a heightened form of extermination! Remember, this is a job, and you all signed up for it. I do hope you understand that." I said.

"Well, yeah...O-Of course!" Yang said trying to sound more resolute with her answer.

After another victory for team RWBY I decided to ask the girls some questions.

"Tell me, Yang: Why did you choose this line of work?" I asked.

"Huh? Well, to fight monsters and save- "Yang said before I cut her off.

"No, that is what you do. I want to know why you do it. The honest reason as to why you want to be a Huntress." I said.

"The honest reason? I'm a thrill-seeker. I want to travel around the world and get wrapped up in as many crazy adventures as I can. And if I help people along the way, then that's even better. It's a win-win, y'know?" Yang replied

"I see." I said as I went on to the next member of the team.

I was sitting on a high windowsill writing in my journal while Weiss fights off Beowolves below.

"And you, Miss Schnee? A girl born into fame and fortune such as yourself certainly doesn't need the extra work. So... why choose this over a cushy job in Atlas?" I asked Miss Schee after she impales the last foe on her blade and drops the body.

It's exactly as you said: I'm a Schnee. I have a legacy of honor to uphold. Once I realized I was capable of fighting, there was no longer a question of what I would do with my life. It was my duty." Weiss replied as I nodded my head and went over to Blake as she slashes a door down and releases a swarm of small Nevermores. from the building, which she back-flips under before she shoots them all with her blade's pistol form while I examine the inside of the doorway.
