(Y/N)'s POV

In the nick of time I manage to dodge the swipe of a Beowolf and roll to safety. I feel the dirty and grass scrape against my skin as I roll. Off behind me, the Beowolf snarls loudly in protest from my dodge. In front of me, I can hear the laughter of a certain orange haired huntress which is soon followed by the loud boom of Magnhild slamming down on the ground, making the ground quake. A smile grows on my face as I push myself up and onto my fight while doing a half spin to get my back away from the Beowolf. My hands tighten on my ax as I feel the hammer wielder from before land behind me and hit my back. Glancing back I see Nora with a large smile on her face as she laughs wildly. Seeing her laugh and smile like that makes me smile more despite the predicament that we're currently in.

"I guess you're having fun?" I ask as I look forward again and watch the Beowolf run towards me with two more at its sides and one behind it. Nora laughs a bit more before responding.

"Are you kidding?! I'm having a blast!" Nora loudly says, "Now swing!" She proclaims. Getting what she means by that, I move my hands to get a better grip on my ax before swinging the weapon from left to right, slashing open the faces of the three front Beowolves. I then quickly move my feet as I twist my back, getting ready to turn around and slash behind me. Since Nora is pressed against my back, I can feel her getting ready to do the same thing. I then twist around to see the Nora just knocked away a larger than average Boarbatusk who was being followed by a smaller than average Ursa. It snarls at me before my weapon slashes the Grimm's face, detaching its lower jaw from the rest of the head, knocking the black bear monster off to the side. I can hear the Beowolf's skull and bones crack as Nora slams her hammer against the monster. We both stop where we are now, having switched places. Looking off to the side, I can see three dissolving Ursa with their heads caved in and two Boarbusks. One has a smoking hole in it and the other has its bones like plates and tusks broken. Man, I see she's been hogging all the interesting Grimm to herself and was leaving all the boring ones to me.

"Jeez, Nora. You went all out with these guys." Nora laughs a bit as the Beowolves that are alive start to circle around us, sizing the two of us up.

"Yup!" The hammer wielder says, "So how many do you think we have left?" I look around at the Grimm that are dissolving and count them up.

"Let's see, you got three Ursa and two Boarbusks while I got eight Beowolves and an Ursa, so that's fourteen." Nora elbows me in the back as we stare down the pack of Beowolves.

"Hey, I got another Ursa earlier and just took down a Beowolf!" The huntress says loudly.

"Alright, so that's what, sixteen?" I ask as some of the Beowolves start to snarl at us and move a bit closer.

"Yup, sixteen and we're about to add some more to the list!" I chuckle in response as the circle of Grimm gets tighter and tighter.

"So you get the three in front of you and I get the four in front of me?"

"No way! I'm gonna get all of them!" She says proudly before the feeling of her pushing off of me signals that she is ready to fight more. I smile and follow suit, leaping towards the now three Grimm in front of me. The fourth one was so startled that it backed away from me as the other three mostly stay still, I'm guessing because I startled them that much. I hear Magnhild slam down on one of the Grimm as I take a strong swing at a Beowolf. Sadly the thing moves out of the way, cutting off only a front leg. My feet skid on the ground, kicking up some dust as I stare down three Beowolves. Jeez, I have killed a lot of these things today. The injured one kind of limps away as the other two charge at me, one leaping forward and taking a swipe at me. I raise my ax up and block the swipe. Thankfully I'm just fighting some young Beowolves and not any experienced fighter, otherwise I would be a sitting duck right now with how open I am, but since that is not the case, I take advantage of this opportunity and kick the other Beowolf in the stomach and push the other one away with my ax. I then spin the blade around and swing at the two of them, slicing one of the Grimm in half. The other one now has a scar across its stomach, making it back away. I can hear Nora's laughter as she fights the other Grimm. I then knock the Beowolf away as the other one dissolves. With the Grimm out of the way, I charge over to the one that's missing its leg and leap into the air with my weapon over my head, ready to kill the Grimm. Somehow I miss the beast and just bring the ax down, chopping the thing's tail off and lodging the blade into the ground. Before I can get my weapon free, I feel the leg of the Beowolf that I had just slashed earlier slam into by sides, sending me flying of to the side. I hit the ground with a thud and slide until I roughly hit a tree stump. After coughing some I look up at the Beowolves. The one that lost a leg and its tail is moving away as the scared one from earlier and the one I scarred move in on me.

"Well this is going well." I mutter through my coughs as I wait for them to get closer. Once they are close enough, I kick one of the Grimm in the chest as I pull out some electric dust from my pocket and use my aura to activate it. I then through said chunk of dust at the other Grimm, paralyzing it. The one that I kicked recovers quickly as it brings its claw down at me. The only reason I'm not dead now is because I barely dodge out of the way, making it the Grimm slash the tree trunk that I just hit. I then get up while the Beowolf is distracted with the trunk and sprint to my ax, hoping to get it back. Thankfully I pull the thing out of the ground and recover, but the two Grimm from earlier also recover at the same time. Glancing back I see that Nora is down to one more Beowolf, which she is having just a little trouble with. I then look further back and see the injured one try and get away. Okay, got to not let it get away, otherwise it will only come back stronger some day. I turn around and run to catch up with it, which is what the other two Beowolves do to me. As I run forward, the injured beast looks back at me at the same time that I leap forward and bring my ax down on the black beast. One of the Beowolves sprints forward, past the other one and leaps at me as spin around and slash the thing across the face, killing it. The other one tries to stop its run at me, causing its legs skid across the dirt. A grin grows on my face as I then take another swing at it and right when I burry part of the blade in the creature's side, a dust grenade fires off and makes contact with the Beowolf. Once the grenade hits, it blows up killing the thing and also sends me flying off again. My ears ring as I hit a tree and fall down to the ground. My eyes go wide as I shake my head in an attempt to reorient myself. As my vision begins to clear and my ears stop, I finally see my orange haired classmate kneeling in front of me with a worried look on her face, a worried tone in her voice, and her hands tightly gripping my shoulders as she shakes me.

"(Y/N)!? (Y/N), please be okay!" As the seconds go on, the ringing goes away and Nora's voice gets louder and more clear.

"Yeah Nora, I'm good." I blink a couple of times to clear my vision before looking directly at her, "At least I will be once you stop shaking me." I say as my head goes back and forth because of Nora. The hammer user soon stops and moves her hands away from my shoulder.

"Sorry." She says as I see some tears on the edges of her eyes, "I-I just got caught up in the moment and I saw the Grimm and did see you and..." She continues but her words get a bit too fast for me to follow. After shaking my head again, I place a hand on her shoulder and have her look at me.

"Nora, it's okay." I try to be as calm as possible for her, "I've been through worse than that. Besides, my aura took the blunt of the blast, so it wasn't a direct hit." I then move my hand to her cheek and gently wipe a tear away as I smile, "So no need to worry!" I smile as I say that. Nora finally looks at me and smiles as she wipes the other tear from her face.

"Okay (Y/N)." She eventually says after calming down some. I laugh a bit before letting out a grunt as I get up. Nora moves over and helps me to my feet after another grunt comes from my mouth.

"Thanks Nora." Her smile grows when I say that, "So looks like I got that last Grimm." I say with a teasing tone. Nora then looks at me offended.

"Hey! I got the last one and I got more Grimm!" The orange haired girl protests.

"Nah, my ax got to the Beowolf before your grenaded did and even if you did get more Grimm, that's just because you were hogging all the interesting Grimm!"

"No I wasn't!"

"Yeah you were!" While we playfully argue, Nora helps me walk back to Beacon so we can get some rest and relaxation.

I love RWBY. It allows me to make stories where the reader is caught in a grenade blast and its still believable that the reader didn't die! Welp there's the Nora part so I finally have every girl from the two main teams of the series in the story. This one took a bit longer to get, but given that the first six parts of the one-shot book were RWBY characters, I think waiting on Nora was okay. Anyways, hope you have a great day/evening depending on when/where you are reading this.
