Blake POV
I am with team RWBY on the train to Argus when we come under attack by Grimm and things are getting a little dicey. I slice down two Gryffin's and use my semblance to dodge another and then turn Gambol Shroud into grapple mode.
Blake: Incoming!
I shoot the grapple at Yang and she punches it back to me and the ribbon wraps around the Grimm's neck and I pull and Yang takes it out.
Yang: Good to see you're not rusty.
We continue taking out Grimm until we hear Oscar yell...
Oscar: TUNNEL!
Ruby: Get below!
We all make it and Qrow starts tearing into the designated bodyguard of the train to turn the turrets off. After some more arguing Ruby finally puts a stop to it and convinces the Huntsman to shut off the turrets. Oscar, or Ozpin rather, told us that the lamp has been attracting the Grimm this whole time. Ruby then tells us we need to split up and that Team RWBY would take the lamp and lead the Grimm away from the passengers. I cut the empty train cars away from the rest of the train and while we were successful the cars ended up crashing in the snow. I slowly come to and hold my ears as the ringing is unbearable, only when the ringing subsides do I hear voices again.
Ruby: Blake?! Are you ok?
Blake: Yes, Ruby. I'll be okay.
I sit up and see Weiss and Qrow are getting stuff from the cars, while Yang pulls her bike out of a snowbank.
Yang: Great. Just great. We're stranded. *pulls her bike* We lost a third of our party. *pulls again* And we gained a defensless old lady. *frees bike*
Blake: Old lady?
Maria: My name is Maria Calavera and I am not defensless. I'm just hard of hearing, and blind without my eyes, that are in desperate need of repair. *eyes glitch* Ok, I'm starting to see your point.
Blake: Are you unharmed at least?
Maria: Yes, I am unharmed. Finally someone with some manners.
Qrow: Yang, take it easy. We'll just be inviting more Grimm.
Blake: Does that even matter? Apparently, we've been attracting Grimm since we left Haven.
Yang: Oh yeah, how can we forget about that. What happened to no more lies or half-truths?
Oscar: Yes, I believe we deserve some answers.
(A/N): Quick disclaimer, I won't be spending too much time with Blake because if you've watched Volume 6 then you know what happens from here. I will get more in depth when she gets to Argus but beforehand, I didn't find super important.
(Y/n) POV
The Lion Guard and I are travelling to the specified area where the old hermit said we could find people who could help me with the venom in my body. But the longer we travel the worse my condition gets, I lose my temper a lot easier, I hope we-
Tyler: (Y/n), I think I see smoke, like a bonfire!
(Y/n): How far off is it?!
Tyler: About a mile! Follow me!
We all follow Tyler until we hit a rock wall and since Tyler is the only one of us who can fly, we're stuck.
Tyler: Sorry, (Y/n), I didn't see the rock wall, it was really well hidden.
(Y/n): Well, you should've- *deep breath* Sorry, I know you're doing your best. Can you see if there is a way around or a path through this wall?
Tyler: I'll take a look.
Tyler flies up and starts to look around, Eric then walks up to me.
Eric: *hands me a cup* Here, drink this.
(Y/n): *drinks from cup* Thanks. This herbal remedy is becoming less and less effective.
Eric: The hermit did say it was only a temporary solution.
(Y/n): We need to find this place whatever it is, soon.
Tyler: (Y/n), I found a passagway that could lead to the other side of the wall. It's the only way for miles.
(Y/n): Then let's not waste anytime. You still feel like flying?
Tyler: Yeah I'm good to go.
(Y/n): Then lead the way.
Tyler leads us to the passageway and we start to walk through when we hear an unfamiliar voice.
????: Halt! *a woman appears* Trespasser's, turn back now if you know what's good for you.
(Y/n): Please, we're just here to-
????: Don't think you can fool me, everyone who's come here has always been thieves, but you will not get to the monastary! Guardsmen, defend the passage!
Four more well armed fighters come out of seemingly nowhere and try to engage us.
(Y/n): Lion Guard, defend yourselves! We need to-
I get tackled by the woman who addressed us as trespassers earlier and she pins me to the ground. I end up countering her and getting her off my back. I get back up and face this woman.
(Y/n): Lady, we're not here looking for a fight!
????: Sure use the excuse that you're sick and need our help. Many would be thieves have never made it past me and that will not start today!
The woman charges again and I simply deflect and dodge her strikes to show I don't want to fight, but the herbal plant is wearing off and I am starting to get frustrated. After a few tense minutes, I am at the breaking point especially since this woman managed to get a few solid hits in.
(Y/n): Grrr, this ends now!
Eric: Brother, don't!
(Y/n): ROOAARR!
The Roar blew the woman away but then Eric grabbed me to make me stop and get myself under control.
(Y/n): *groans* Wha- What did I- *looks at destruction* Oh-no.
????: What did you do to my sister, you monster?!
The Guardsmen attack again, the Lion Guard try to counter but I stop them.
(Y/n): Lion Guard, fall back!
Cassie: But, High Leader?
(Y/n): Now!
The lion Guard fall back a fair distance away from the wall and set up camp, Simon and Cassie were still confused on why.
Simon: What's the deal, big guy?
Cassie: Yeah, we had them on the ropes a little bit more and we-
(Y/n): We are not here to start trouble.
Cassie: But they attacked us without provocation and before we could explain ourselves.
(Y/n): That doesn't give us the right to hurt others, I lost my temper back there and for that I am ashamed.
Eric: (Y/n) is right, we deserved the reception we got.
Bruno: So, what now?
(Y/n): Now, we wait. See if they'll let us in willingly, but we will not attack am I understood.
Cassie: Yeah, you got it.
Eric: Here brother. *hands me a cup*
(Y/n): *drinks from cup* Eric, we don't have much of the remedy left and it's becoming less and less effective. I need you to take over as leader for the time being until those Guardsmen let us in, please.
Eric: Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Now you get some rest, the rest of us take turns on watch duty.
Bruno: I'll take first watch.
(Y/n): Thank you all for being here, I don't think I could do this on my own.
Eric: The Lion Guard has your back. Always.
(A/N): Whew, that got a little hairy, huh.
