Lurking Darkness

No Rest For The Wicked

"Y/n! Don't forget you can talk to to Blake now."

"You're right." You concentrate on Blake's Aura.

"Kitten? Can you hear me?"

"Y/n! That's right! We can do this now!"

"Pyrrha reminded me. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a few Grimm are over here."

"Please for the love of the Gods, be careful, you're carrying for two now."

"I will babe, I got to go fight these Grimm. I love you."

"I love you too." You look at Tyrian.

"She's safe Callows. She's okay, which means I get to kill you now."

"HAHAAH!!! Come! Let us fight!" He readies his weapons. You realized you still don't have your weapons from James yet, hand to hand will do.

"You don't have your weapons yet!"

"I'll be fine Pyrrha." He rushes you and begins trying to combo you repeatedly, you do nothing but dodge, you counter with an uppercut to his gut, sending him flying back into a wall.

"You have improved boy..."

"You have no clue.." You remembered that James told you something about your arm.

Flashback

"Y/n, this arm isn't just an arm, it was intended to be part of an Atleasian Knight, one who could fight based off of combat data from many Huntsman, out of all of them, we chose the most impressive fighters for each range and added a smaller version of each weapon into the arm. Ms. Rose was long range, and up close and personal was Yang Xiao Long. As for medium to close range, I think you can figure it out."

Flashback End

"Pyrrha, you're going to love this.."

"I'm going to love wha—?" You fire a shell from your arm at Callows.

"What the hell?" Tyrian exclaims.

"Was that Yang's weapon?!"

"Yep, just wait til later." You ready your Ember Celica and rush Callows, lowering your temp lower and lower, reaching the negative 300s, your combat prowess at this point is unmatched. Tyrian backflips always from you.

"HRAA!!! THIS ISN'T OVER BOY!" He starts to retreat. Tyrian begins running away.

"Hey Pyrrha?"

"Yes?"

"Look wha else it can do." Your arm grows a scope attached to it and you begin to aim, you fire a sniper round at Tyrian, hitting him in the leg.

"BASTARD!" He yells holding his leg.

"Ruby's sniper?"

"Mhm, and there's one more special mode for medium fighting range."

"Wow.." You focus back on Blake.

"Kitten?"

"I'm here, are you okay?"

"Yea, let's go back to the house, contact Ruby, I'll get James and Qrow. We have a problem."

"Okay." You pull out your scroll and contact James.

"James?"

"Yes?"

"Meet is at Yang's place, we have a serious problem."

"Understood, I'll bring Qrow too."

"Good, see you soon."

"You as well." You and Blake are walking back when you notice a slash across her arm.

"Babe, you're hurt."

"Really? I didn't even notice."

"I got it." You heat up and heal her wound instantly.

"Usually that takes a few minutes."

"First time I've heard someone say they want to be fast." She winks.

"Ha ha." You both arrive at the house.

"We got your message. Are you both okay?"

"We're good, are James and Qrow here yet?"

"Yep, so is Ruby. What's wrong?"

"Get everyone in here and I'll tell you." Everyone gathers in the living room.

"I think Salem is making her move on Vacuo."

"What?" James yells.

"When the coffee shop exploded, I went in looking for Blake, I ran into Tyrian Callows, Blake was fighting off some Grimm."

"Callows is here?!" James yells again.

"Yea, I fended him off, thanks for the upgrade by the way James."

"Did he run?"

"Yes, I don't know where, but I shot him in the leg while he ran."

"What do you mean shot?"

"My arm is cool, it's got three styles. Long range, medium range, and close range, each of those have a version of a valued Huntsman's weapon, Yang's is in CQC."

"Yesss." She whispers.

"Ruby's is long range."

My Crescent Rose? In your arm?"

"Just the sniper part."

"And medium?" You pull out...

"Akoúo, and Miló." You announce.

"Akoúo can switch to Miló if need be, now I'm never without a weapon." You flick the sword into the shield.

"That's incredible!" Blake says.

"I know right? Anyway, back to the issue at hand, Salem is coming for Shade."

"We gotta inform the headmaster." Yang says.

"Hopefully Salem hasn't gotten to her as quickly as she did Leo." James says.

"We got to go now, as much as I'd like to spend time with my wife, we have to put others before ourselves." You say.

"Kid, I get what you're saying, but you need to time to recover, you've been through a LOT the past three weeks."

"I'm fine Qrow, thanks. We need to go, now."

"Right, let's move our team... Team..." You drag out.

"What?"

I don't know what to call us." You chuckle.
You all laugh, one last time before things get rough.

"You think we can do anything?" Pyrrha asks.

"I hope so, I really hope so."

No notes, again, thanks for reading! -P
