Chapter 2: The Return

Six months after Jaune's disappearance

The entirety of Beacon was in dissaray. After Jaune's disappearance, it was revealed that Cardin had lied. Now, team CRDL were the outcasts, and every time they tried to bully someone, they would either get thrashed by any other students, or severely punished. Jaune's former team was distraught.

They had gone to fetch him for his secretly arranged expulsion, only to find his room empty. Video feed from security cameras showed him carrying a woman with six glowing wings and a glowing golden ring. Much to the shock of the entire world. Atlas, of course, wanted to find this woman and interrogate her. But unfortunately, no one has found a single trace of them.

Now, team RWBY and NPR are heading to a remote village, for Grimm extermination. The Hunter and Huntress image had really fallen down, so Ozpina tried to respond to every call for help. But it had detrimental effect on the lives of the students. They didn't get enough sleep, they struggled with homework, they couldn't pay attention in classes, etc. It was a mess. But, back to subject at hand, the Bullhead slowly lowers towards the ground, the teams glance among themselves. This mission was... worrying, to say the least. Hundreds upon hundreds of Grimm had stationed themselves in the large forest nearby, but none have made an aggressive move. Yet.

"Soooooooo... why do you guys think there are so many Grimm in that forest?"

"I don't know. Maybe there's something negative, or they've become smart enough to organize attacks."

"Really?!"

Weiss rolls her eyes, before replying in a sarcastic tone.

"Yes, of course Ruby. NO! Of course not."

"Sorry."

The Bullhead touches down with a heavy thud. It opens up to let the students out, and they file out. They head towards the town hall, and meet a short old man.

"Thank goodness you're here! I've been getting very worried."

"We're glad we could make it. Could give us a bit more detail on what's been going on?"

The old man shudders slightly.

"Well, it started two weeks ago, when one of our hunters saw a woman with six wings and a golden ring floating above her head singing on a rock in the middle of a clearing. He was quite a ways away, but he could see dozens of Grimm prowling around in the darkness. Whenever one tried to step into the clearing, they would disintegrate. A large Deathstalker managed to get close, but then this hulking armored man came out of nowhere and tore it apart with his bare hands. The Grimm seemed... afraid of that man, and they didn't try again. But as you can see, they've been gathering in numbers, and I fear they may soon steer their attention towards our village. I know it's asking a lot, but please wipe them out. Or at least convince that armored man to."

"Alright. We'll have it done by sundown. Don't worry."

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

"No problem! Now, go team!"

"Yeah!"

The two teams sneak into the forest, being as careful as possible to not alert the Grimm. Soon, they hear the angry roars and howls of the Grimm. They climb up a large out cropping of rock, and take out binoculars. They scan for the clearing, before Pyrrha yells out;

"There!"

The two teams turn their focus on to where Pyrrha is pointing. There they spot the woman, and the ominous figure of the armored man sitting below her, seemingly cleaning a huge double barreled shotgun, which had a strange clamp installed beneath the barrel. Ruby gasps at the weapon.

"Oh my god it's so cool!"

"Ruby! Calm down! We'll head over, but prepare for a hellish fight."

The two teams scramble down the rock, and move quietly through the rock. They soon spot the mass of crawling Grimm. They all crouch down and then launch themselves into the horde, punching and slicing and shooting, until they reach the clearing, out of breath.

"Whew! We made it!"

They turn to the woman singing on the rock. She stops singing and stares down at them, a small frown on her face.

"So. Students of Beacon have finally come."

"Hold on. How do you know we're from Beacon?"

"Simple. I saved that boy... what was his name? Oh yes, Jaune, from that hellhole of a school."

"Jaune?! Where is he?! What did you do with him?!"

"He's fine, I can assure you, and very far away from you lot. He wants it that way, and didn't want to hear your pathetic excuses."

"That's enough out of your mouth bitch!"

Yang leaps forward, completely forgetting the armored man, who in turn gets up, and grabs her arm. He then pull back his other arm, before throwing a punch so forceful, Yang's aura instantly dissapates, and she's sent flying back. She slams into a boulder, making shatter, and burying her under the rubble.

"Yang!"

"Dear, that's enough."

"Fine."

The armored man steps back, before climbing the rock and sitting next to the woman. He lifts his helmet a bit, and the woman plants a kiss on the man's scarred cheek.

"But thank you anyways."

"I aim to please. Now, small fries, what are you doing here?"

"We-We came here to get rid of the Grimm. The nearby village is at risk."

"Oh. I wasn't aware there was a village nearby. We're incredibly sorry. We'll take care of them."

She stands up, and the man smirks under his helmet. He draws the large shotgun from before, and loads two shells. The Grimm now stampede towards them, and the man leaps forward. And instantly begins to massacre them. Howls and screeches of agony as the man rips Grimm in half, crushes their skulls underfoot, and leaves gaping holes in their body with his shotgun. The woman flies over head, sending orbs of blinding light into the horde, which instantly vaporize any Grimm they touch. Soon, the horde is gone, nothing but black powder.

"Well that was easy."

"Indeed it was dear."

"That was so cool! Can I see you gun?!"

"NO."

Ruby shrinks away from his fierce tone of voice. Yang pulls herself from the rubble. She leaps towards then again, only to get smacked into the ground.

"Stay down."

He then turns to Ruby.

"Pick up your sister, and get out of here."

"O-Okay!"

She picks up her sister, albeit a small struggle to lift her. Then, she and the others run off.

"You know Ozpina won't assess the situation properly."

"I know. We came here to fix what those idiot brothers messed up. And fix it we shall."
