Lurking Darkness

Entering the Fray

As you all exit the ship, you change Ekdíkisi into sword form, seeing as you can't carry the halberd effectively with one arm.

"Hey Jaune, do me a favor buddy? Reset me."

"Gotcha, hold still." He resets your aura, your arm is still in incredible pain, you can't let Blake know that though. The pain is so great you can't keep the concentration needed to keep Pyrrha nearby, she returns to your mind.

"Damn, sorry guys, I don't think Pyrrha will be joining us today." Jaune gives you a worried look.

"Are you sure you can fight? I mean, Y/n, you're missing an arm!" Jaune asks concerned.

"Jaune, remember all of those times back at Beacon where I said I could beat you with one arm behind my back?"

"Yea? So?"

"I wasn't lying." You smirk at him.

"Left Y/n!" You swing Ekdíkisi to your left and take out a Sabre.

"I think I'm good man, thanks for the concern."

"Y/n.. how are you standing?"

"I'm using my Semblance nonstop to heal me. It's taking a toll, so I'm going to stick near Jaune so he can keep resetting me."

"That's genius. Are you still in pain?"

"Massive. Amount of pain."  You continue to follow Jaune, letting him lead behind Ruby and the gang. You take out a few more Sabres as they approached.

"This is harder than I thought." You say.

"What is?" Nora asks.

"I'm using my Semblance nonstop to keep me going, healing constantly is taking quite the toll, hence I'm going to stick close to Jaune so he can keep resetting me."

"That's really smart." Ren adds.

"Thanks buddy." As you all are running past Grimm, Atlas robots, and looters, you run into Robyn Hill.

"Robyn!" Ruby yells out.

"Team RWBY and the gang. What're you all.." She sees your lack of an arm.

"Are you fit to fight?"

"I'm fine Robyn.." You says grimacing in pain.

"Okay, well me and my Happy Huntresses are trying to get to the academy. It's our only hope."

"Where's James?" You ask her.

"I don't know, wouldn't say after we left Schnee Manor."

"Dammit."

"Is that bad?"

"Very. He must be at the vault, unluckily for him. We have the Winter Maiden."

"Well, follow us, we think we know where to find him. What about Qrow?"

"Haven't seen Qrow since you, him and Clover took down Callows."

"Double dammit."

"Also bad?

"Qrow isn't responding to any scrolls or calls, neither is Clover, I fear Tyrian my have escaped. He could go and try to free Watts."

"Dammit."

"That's my line." You all run to the academy, as you all are, your scroll lights up, informing you of a death.

"Clover Ebi, Leader of the Ace Ops, found murdered by Qrow Branwen, after bullhead crash."

"No way Qrow would do that." Yang says.
