As you climb the side of the train to help RWBY and JNR fight off the Grimm attack you notice they're being led by a massive Grimm.
"Is that a Sphinx?"
You heard it emit an ear piercing screech, calling for Manticores to the train, you pull Timoría out and begin opening fire with ice Dust, freezing the wings of each Manticore that dare get close enough. You meet up with Qrow.
"Why are we being attacked? None of us are negative, maybe the passengers?"
"It could be my Semblance, but I doubt that. I've never attracted Grimm before."
"What is your Semblance? You've never told me."
"Oh yea, you were knocked out during this time. My Semblance brings Misfortune, I can't really control it however, so I'm an alcoholic by choice, not nature." He laughs it off.
"It dampens the effect of my semblance. I guess you can say I'm a bad luck charm."
"Oh, I'm sorry Qrow."
"No it's fine, it's helped me from time to time, but it's usually pretty against me."
"Well, today it helps us."
"Yea. Let's go do our jobs." He tells you. You continue opening fire until you and Qrow are face to face with the Sphinx. He unfolds his sword into the scythe form, you do the same, rifle to halberd/scythe. You and him lunge forward and attempt to attack the Sphinx, neither of your attacks do any significant damage, it launches a fireball at Qrow and knocks him backwards, then unfurls it's wings and flies up.
"Where are they going?" You ask loudly.
"TUNNEL!!!" You hear Oscar shout.
"Shit! Get down!!" As you jump down to the train doors below, you hear a distant crunch.
Minutes later...
As you, and Team RWBY walk into the train car, you see Oscar comforting Dudley, one of the Huntsman for the Argus Limited. Qrow walks up to him angrily.
"I told you to shut those damn things off!" He picks him up by his collar, referring to the turrets aboard the Argus Limited.
"Those THINGS, are keeping us alive!"
"Us sure, but they're putting the passengers at risk." Qrow pushes him against a wall. You decided to walk up and stop him, but Ruby was quicker. She pushes Qrow softly as to tell him to ease up.
"Please just shut off the turrets."
"Trust us, we know what we're doing."
Jaune resets his Aura to the max, and you come over to heal his arm.
"Fine." He grunts. Shortly after, Ozpin speaks.
"I'm afraid that there is one issue here. Grimm are also attracted to this." He points to the Relic.
"What is that?" Dudley says.
"Nunya. Oz, are you serious?" You reply.
"Why didn't you tell us that?" Yang says next.
"I—."
"That doesn't matter now." Ruby says.
"We have to get off this train, that's all that matters." You sigh, still upset as to why he lied to everyone.
"She's right." You say.
Play above Song now.
"Jaune, we need to get everyone into one car, so Ren can affect them all." You say to him.
"Understood." He begins ushering people in.
"I'll go with Team RWBY to assist with Grimm." You tell him.
"That's a good idea." Ruby says to you. Jaune looks directly at Ruby.
"Only if you promise to meet us at Argus."
"Promise." You and Ruby both say. All of you climb up on the train, you call out to Blake.
"Blake! Go detach the front cars from us!"
"Understood." As she does that, the Grimm are returning.
"Time to fight." You spin your weapon, opening it, you charge forward with Ekdíkisi and remove a Manticore's head with ease, you are flanked by another Manticore, you flip the spearhead around and thrust it behind you, into the mouth of the incoming Manticore. Ruby charges at another Manticore and removes its legs, followed by its head, she then flips off another one and shoots it directly in the face. Yang grabs one by the horns and uppercuts it with Ember Celica. Blake is swinging Gambol Shroud and impales one in its head with it, she pulls on the black ribbon connecting to it and jumps over it, removing the snakehead tail, it turns around and she stabs it in the head. You notice Oscar needing assistance, so you lower your temperature to -30 and fly forward impaling the Grimm on your halberd.
"I gotcha buddy." You then kick it off. Only one left is the damn Sphinx, Qrow's been having trouble with it, you come up with a plan.
"Weiss! Freeze it's legs! Blake get Yang to help ground it!"
"Alright!" Weiss yells back.
"Okay!" Blake responds.
"Ruby, now is a fantastic time to try that method of activating your eyes, the one we talked about? We'll keep the Sphinx busy."
"Good idea!" She closes her eyes and begins. You rush forward to Qrow.
"I got Ruby attempting to use her eyes, just in case it doesn't work, we're gonna cripple the thing."
"Smart idea kid." He pulls out his scythe.
"So what're we doing?"
"We're taking off it's wings."
"Cool." He smirks at you. As you charge forward, it attempts to bite you, you dodge it and get on its side, as does Qrow, you both jump up and remove the wings from the Sphinx. It's not going anywhere, at this point, Weiss has frozen it's legs, you pull out Timoría and you break it's legs with gravity dust rounds.
"Ruby! Are you ready?" She opens her eyes...
Nothing happens.
"Uugh." She sighs, her and Qrow decapitate the Sphinx, removing it from the equation... however not before it launches a fire blast to the tracks and details the train. Weiss is quick enough to react and creates a Glyph, sticking everyone to the train before it crashes. It derails and it crashes into the icy, snowy tundra below.
Not yet Ms. Silver Eyes! Hold ya horses. It'll happen soon, not yet. Again thanks for reading! -P
