( It has been a couple of weeks since Silas's announcement and then the release of a swarm of grim worldwide. Since then, Jalen has been training with her aunties on how to better fight with her weapons. Along the way, the autobots have been working to keep the decepticons away from finding predicon fossils)

" ( Rolls across the ground and then posts herself up as she skids on the heel of her left outstretched foot and the ball of her front right foot with her right leg bent). Wow, you guys hit hard.  But, I'm getting some practice out of it so that's great. ( Looks up to see only Pyrrha in front of her and then acts on her instincts in order to block a sword swing from Blake as her eyes flash red). But can I ask you something? On a scale of one to ten, with the autobots help. How much of a problem with the bigger grimm be? " Asked Jalen as she jumped back with  Blake chasing her. Before the two began a sword clash, with Pyrrah chasing after them.

" Well, the easiest way for them to kill the grimm would be to use their melee weapons.  Their blasters will help. But those will only weaken the grimm. So unless they have something with immense power, I'd say an eight." Said Pyrrha as she and Blake sword clashed with Jalen. Who used her sword and Pistole's sheath form to block the two swords. 

" ( Watches the training from the sidelines and then looks over at  Optimus). Suppose I'm being honest  Optimus. I feel like something big is about to go down. Something that we may not be able to help Jalen with the grimm. Our war with the cons seems to be nearing its end. So, what happens once we leave Earth? " Asked Arcee. "Who is to say Arcee? All I know is that whatever is in store for our dear friend. We will be there for her when she needs us. But that she will have her family by her side. When it is time for us to leave." Said Optimus as he and Arcee were contacted by Ratchet.

" Optimus, Miko has contacted us. She and Rafiel are calling for Jalen and her aunties's assistance. They're being attacked by grimm at their high school." Said Ratchet. " ( Looks at Jalen, Pyrrha, and Blake who quickly nodded their head. After Blake had told them what she had heard Ratchet said. Then to her sense of hearing). Activate the ground bridge Ratchet, we are returning to base. Then  put in the coordinates to the school." Said Optimus as he, Arcee, Jalen, Pyrraha, and Blake ran through the ground bridge once it appeared across from them.

(  Meanwhile Over with Miko and Raf)

( Grimm)

" What in the world are these things? Are these the Grimm that the government was talking about?" Asked Vince. " Yep, that's what these things are. Just try and keep your mind clear of any negative thoughts or fears. Don't scream either,  we got attacked by these things last week during a walk and they kept following us the longer we showed fear." Said Raf. " ( Looks down at  Raf with a glare). Why should I listen to you, nerd? You probably helped in creating these things." Said  Vince until he got bonked on the head by their friend Sierra. 

" Think for a minute Vince, or did you not watch the broadcast that aired a couple of weeks ago? A terrorist group unleashed these things from ancient caves around the world." Said Sierra. " Ok then, fine. What's the plan then? I have a couple of weapons in my car that we could use to try and defend ourselves with." Said Vince. Unless they're melee weapons, it won't work. I went searching on a military website last week. It said that the military had lost two full platoons. With the third only having three survivors. Because they had to use their knives to kill the creatures." Said Rafiel. " Wait, there are a bunch of sharp knives and bladed tools in the Woodcarving room. We even have some actual katanas in the gym for when the kendo club practices there." Said Miko as all of the students and teachers looked at her.    

"That is an excellent plan, Miko. ( Looks at the rest of the students and teachers). Half of us will go to the kendo club and grab any swords that are still there. The rest will head to the woodcarving room and grab any bladed tool." Said the teacher as he turned to see  Miko,  Raf, Sierra, and Vince each grab a pocket knife or a survival tool knife from their backpacks. " Well, I guess it's as good a time as any to use these until we can get some longer-bladed weapons." Said Sierra as they all turned to hear something bashing against the main school doors that were barricaded during the grimm attack.

( Ten minutes later, the entire school is armed with either a Katana, saw, a short sword a machete, or dua knives)

" I'm glad that we've got enough for almost everyone. The Kendo Club needs to get some extra points for this." Said Vince. " That means Jalen will get some extra curriculum points. She's a member of the club." Said Raf as everyone heard the barricades at every entrance to the school give way. " Oh great, they're about to come from all sides. Well then, everyone pick a direction and focuses on that direction. The younger students are in the back, the oldest in the middle, and teachers in the front." Said a teacher as everyone got into formation as they heard the roars of the grimm from all around the school.

(  As the Grimm charged toward the Teachers and Students. The people of the school held their ground and readied themselves for a dangerous battle. As the fight continued, those of the school at first seemed to be holding their own against the Grimm. With everyone watching each other's backs and covering each other when one was knocked down or knocked back. Raf and Miko chose to hang back in the furthest of the younger generation of the school. Sierra chose to hang back with them. To try and keep herself safe. However, one of the grimm had made a leap toward her, Miko, and Raf. As the Grimm neared the three students, a large orange flame suddenly appeared above the students and the grimm. As the flame dissipated. Three people appeared, revealing themselves to be Pyrrha, Blake, and Jalen. The three hunters then quickly got to work taking out the grimm. Jalen even performed a combo throw with  Pyrrha, by throwing her sword towards four grimm as Pyrrha threw her spear a the same four. Using the polarity of her weapon, while Pyrrha used her polarity semblance. The two were able to create an opening for Blake, by taking out the four grimm that were in front of her. Blake then quickly ran forward and took out any  Grimm that had tried to attack a teacher or student. Pyrrha and Jalen quickly joined her soon after) 

" Is that-is that Jalen? How in the world did she do that, let alone her fighting style with that dual sword and gun." Said Sierra. " No way, Darby's actually taking them out, and whoever she's with seem to be professionals at killing these things." Said  Vince. 

" ( Kicks a grimm back and then shoots it with an ice dust bullet. Before turning back to look at Miko and Raf). Miko, Raf, get everyone out of here. We can handle this. " Said  Jalen as she went back to helping Blake and Pyrrha. " ( Dodges a claw strike from grimm that had tried to sneak up on her using her semblance. Then looks at Miko and Raf. While Jalen Kicks the Gimm in the face and away from her). Take the far left route, we'll clear it for you. ( Looks at Jalen). Jalen, dragon cutter." Said  Blake as she turned her sword gamble shroud into its submachinegun mode and then fired at the grimm. While Pyrrha shot them with her spear in its rifle form. " (  Tunrs the file on her sword until she found the symbol for wind). Sure thing Auntie.  GET READY MIKO!  ( Spins around and then swings her sword three times in the direction of the left hallway. As three arcs of sharp wind fly from the sword and cut down all of the grimm in that area).  MIKO, GO, GET THEM OUT OF HERE!" Yelled Jalen.

" With Pleasure,  ALRIGHT EVERYONE LETS MOVE IT,  HEAD DOWN THE LEFT HALLWAY AND QUICKLY. DON'T SHOOVE OF PUSH, BUT QUICKLY HEAD THROUGH THE LEFT HALLWAY!" Said  Miko as she, Raf, and Sierra quickly followed the rest of their classmates and teachers through the left hallway.

( End song here)

( Thirty minutes later, once everyone that had survived the battle was safely outside. Jalen, Blake, and Pyrrha walked out of the school. As the three walked out of the school. They sheathed their weapons and walked over to the students and teachers)

" Thanks for the help Jalen. You sure got here fast." Said Miko. " Sure thing Miko, anything for a friend. But um, I'm sorry about the school.  We kind of trashed more of it while we were finishing off the grimm. Our bad." Said Jalen as she rubbed the back of her head with her left hand. Only to quickly look to her left as  Military soldiers pull up in their hummers. " ( Quickly jumps out of their hummer aimed his rifle at Jalen, Pyrrah, and Blake). You three, weapons down and put your hands in the air. You're under arrest for illegal grimm slaying and destruction of school property." Said the soldier. " ( Places her left hand on  Blake. Then Places her right hand on  Pyrrha). Sorry, but we only came here to take care of the grimm and protect the students. See ya later." Said Jalen as she, Pyrrha, and Blake all teleported away in a ball of orange fire.

" ( Watches the Soldiers quickly run into the school as they try to find Jalen and her group). They sure left in a hurry. But the Soldiers should be thanking them not trying to arrest them." Said  Miko. " Yeah, they saved us. So in my book, we owe them our lives." Said Sierra. " I agree. ( Looks at the other students who are all cheering in excitement and joy. Or talking about the thrill of the fight. The teachers and principal were doing the same thing). And I think our fellow classmates and teachers would agree." Said Vince with a smirk.

( Autobot base, ten minutes later)

" ( appears in the Autobot and then lands on her feet, with Blake and  Pyrrha also landing on their feet). Well, that was fun. But now I gotta be careful with what I do. ( Walks over to Optimus and Arcee. Then looks up at Optimus).  Does this whole destiny thing ever get easy Optimus? I never asked for this. But it feels like it thrusted itself on me." Said Jalen as  Optimus knelt in front of her. " Jalen, fate rarely calls apon us in a moment of our choosing. But when it does we must always strive to do what is right. For only with a true heart and a pure mind. Can we accomplish our goals. For while others may lose their faith in you, you must never lose your faith in yourself." Said Optimus as  Arcee knelt next to him and smiled at Jalen.
