RWBY: Jaune, Warrior of Mankind

Part 9

Half an Hour before the Legion of Man make their Decision:

Nebula slowly woke up in her cell. Pain struck on every side, rendering her rising body back to the ground. Nebula was dazed and confused wondering where she was, Nebula got that answer as the air stunk from the waste in the mistrali underground, a place littered with the old like the metro and the disgusting like the sewers and hobos.

Scanning the area, she found the rest of her team restrained similarly. her feet and hands bounded with a tight chain, with her hands stuck to her back. Only one of her team wasn't restrained, Octavia was currently in a hunched position, shivering in... fear? Nah, must be the cold.

She shifted her body, gaining small distance towards her last remaining teammate. "Octavia! Help us!" Nebula grunted, Octavia looked from her shivering state, looking with fear as she shook her head. Denying the team from any escape. "Ugh! At least tell us what's happening! Don't be such a bitch!" Octavia cursed, her teammate was supposed to be helping them! not leaving her in these man-infested sewers.

Suddenly it all came rushing back, she remembered how team NDGO, a rising team back in Shroud Prep Huntress school, destroyed by the likes of these men. But she also remembered the feeling, the feeling of being at death's door when she realised she was at the complete mercy of these men she so clearly despised.

As if everyone else in her team remembered, a wave of groans and pain filled the cramped cell, speaking of the cell, The only thing that stood between them and freedom was some chain and rusted prison bars that they could easily break out.

"Octavia! Come break us out of these chains! I know you're the only one with aura left now hurry up and break us out!" Nebula shouted, causing the rest of the team to wake up as well. Team NDGO were all awake and ready for revenge, Nebula thought they could make quick work of these petty men the others thought as well.

But all of this spirit in taking back their pride from the clutches of defeat, would all be for nought if the last remaining remember of the team would cut them free.

Octavia sat huddled in the corner of the cell, living in her world for all intents and purposes, shivering like if she was naked and trudging through the snowy mountains of Atlas. Although they'd rather be there than under Male rule.

"Octavia! As the team leader, I order you to set team NDGO free!" Nebula ordered again, "We shouldn't even be having this conversation, Octavia! If you had even the smallest fraction of the amount of intellect I have, We wouldn't be even in this mess!" Dew shouted in frustration. "Amount of Intellect? Dew Gayl are you seriously saying that you have an IQ above 2?" Nebula teased, "What did you say you purple-haired bitch?!, You probably don't know the significance of your name! let own the first letter you illiterate Man-breather!"

As the bickering between the escalated, they failed to see the shadowed cast above them, Octavia loomed over them, seeing their already fragile team synergy crumble before her. "Would you guys shut up!" Octavia shrieked, catching the attention of the whole team.

"There is no way we are facing them," Octavia pointed out of the room, talking about the entire organisation. "Do you remember what they did to us out there?! How they utterly demolished us!"

"Pfft, please Octavia don't tell me you're scared of the ho--"

"I am! I am fucking terrified of them," Octavia declared, Her mind flashing back between that feeling, what was she doing as a huntress if the presence of two nobodies from the underground was able to render her nothing more than an ant. If the mere thought of them terrified her, imagine what would happen if she saw them.
