Bit of a short chapter but oh well.

He pulls his tail back. Qrow turns around, swinging his weapon and holding at the ready by his side.

Tyrian: As I live and breathe, Qrow Branwen. (mock bowing) A true Huntsman has entered the fray!

Ruby gets up and sets on its end. Qrow glances back at her.

Ruby: (to Qrow) I don't know, this guy's weird.

Qrow: (facing Tyrian again) Look, pal, I'm not sure who you are, but you need to leave Them alone.

Tyrian chortles.

Tyrian: Why, friend, my name is Tyrian. And I'm afraid that is not possible. (places his hands together before gesturing at Ruby and Y/n) My assignment from Her Grace was to retrieve this young girl. So, that is what I must do. ( placing a hand on his chest) One does not upset the Queen.

Ruby: Queen?

Qrow: Salem

Ruby: Who?

Tyrian: Hmm, I think we've had enough talk now, don't you? I've answered too many questions today.

Tyrian assumes a crouching position.

Y/n: He's good Qrow... Watch out.

Qrow: You took the words right out of-

Tyrian rushes Qrow before he can finish voicing the thought and the two begin fighting. Qrow blocks two strikes with Harbinger, then slashes at Tyrian who jumps trying to pierce Qrow as he lands. Qrow dodges then swings but Tyrian back-flips away and rushes back in. The two clash as Tyrian goes flying, he comes to a stop digging his weapons into the ground. He ducks to avoid a slash from Qrow then leaps aside to dodge a horizontal strike. He follows up with a slash, using the force to transition into a kick that Tyrian slides under, then the Faunus tries to strike his back but it is stopped. Tyrian attacks again as Qrow parries several thrusts of his tail. As Tyrian blocks a downward strike pinning him on his knees a roof gets damaged by the shock-wave and Tyrian uses The Queen's Servants built in guns to get free. As Qrow blocks the shots with Harbinger Tyrian circles him firing a steady barrage, Ren and Nora join in, but Tyrian catches their sneak attack and dodges then easily knocks them away. He moves to chase them as the two land back near Jaune and Ruby, but Qrow intervenes to hold him back.

Qrow: Don't come closer!

Y/n: Listen to him Ruby.

The two men continue to fight.

Ruby: Fine!

She takes Crescent Rose to the top of a building and waits for an opening to shoot Tyrian. However, both he and Qrow move too fast for her to get a clear shot. Ruby grimaces in frustration.

Qrow blocks a jab from Tyrian"s tail then counters, Tyrian parries before retaliating with a slash followed by a kick. Qrow ducks before swinging three times as the Faunus avoids them all, before using his tail as a spring to gain altitude as he opens fire again. Qrow blocks the attack then fires a shot of his own then dodges another thrust. Tyrian manages to uses his tail to disarm Qrow flinging the sword away as he rubs his wrist. This slows things down enough for Ruby to repeatedly shoot at him from the roof, but after the first shot misses an amused Tyrian just deflects each with his tail.

Qrow curls his hand into a fist then switches to punching Tyrian in the face. He groans in pain backing up before Qrow lands a few more hits. With a final kick, he manages to send Tyrian flying and casually moves to retrieve Harbinger from where it embedded in a wall. A frustrated Tyrian waits crouched until Qrow has his back turned before striking, but Qrow merely leaps on top of his own weapon and partially changes it to scythe mode. Using the gun barrels he propels himself to a roof top, Tyrian follows as their battle continues. They appear evenly matched until Qrow notices a damaged beam. He tricks Tyrian into landing on it and the Faunus descends into the building and uses his tail to drag Qrow down, too. As the two land, the remaining roof collapses inward.

This is enough to make Ruby decide to no longer stay back. Staring at the dust cloud in concern she descends to street level. Just as she reaches the building, Qrow comes crashing out through a wall, his body bouncing. He tosses Harbinger which lands with its blade in the ground, and Qrow perches atop it. Red flickers of damaged Aura move over his body twice.

Y/n: There's no way.

Tyrian comes out of the floating dust and grime inside the building, purple flickers moving across his body. As the two begin to strike again, Ruby jumps in between and deflects Tyrian's blades with Crescent Rose.

Y/n: Huh?!

Jaune: Ruby!

Ren holds Jaune back from moving forward.

Tyrian: Do you wish to be taken?

Ruby: No! But I won't stand by and watch someone get hurt!

At this point I walk towards them and try to join in.

Both Qrow and Ruby move in to attack Tyrian who parries both weapons and the three clash. He kicks Qrow away then shoots and jabs at Ruby with tail, she blocks and tries to counter but the blow is knocked aside. His eyes purple again, Tyrian closes in and almost gets her with his stinger, but Qrow blocks it.

Qrow: (glancing to the side) Ruby! What did I say?! Get back!

Ruby: This is my fight, too!

She attacks Tyrian while he's still locked blade-to-blade with Qrow, but his legs arch away from the swing of Crescent Rose.

Qrow: No, it's not that. It's-

Ruby attacks again, and Tyrian moves to her. He flips and sends her back with a two-footed kick. She slides closer to the building and gains her ground, but the wooden beams near the roof have been shaken up too much and a heavy one breaks and descends upon her. Qrow slices it in half so it falls in pieces to either side of Ruby without touching her.

She smiles at him in gratitude and affection, and he raises his head from his stance to look at her.

Y/n: Qrow to your right!

Qrow saw his sting attack incoming G and deflected it off his weapon. Ruby, however, capitalising immediately on the moment cuts off the stinger from the rest of Tyrian's tail. It bounces, spurting purple liquid, to the ground. Tyrian reels back and cries out from the pain. Standing, he whirls to face Ruby, infuriated.

Tyrian: You bitch!

Y/n: (Smiling and jokingly) Watch yo profanity.

He takes a step or two forward but is off balance. Nora, Ren and Jaune all move to block his path to Ruby and Qrow.

Tyrian takes a few awkward steps, not engaging.

Tyrian: (to himself) She'll forgive you.

He runs away.

Qrow stared down Tyrian and followed him for about 10 meters but decided not to engage as his aura was gone. Ruby ran towards me along with the rest of them.

Ruby: Y/n, Are you okay?

Y/n: I'll be fine. It's just a flesh wound.

I took my hand off my stomach to reveal the purple stain that came out of my wound.

Ruby: (Gasp) Oh my God.

Ren: Ill make a tourniquet.

Y/n: (Coughing) It's okay... My wound will regenerate but the poison will stay in me... Sadly.

Qrow walked towards us and he looked at me in sorrow. The rest of the team looked at him.

Nora: Who was that guy?

Ren: How did you get here?

Jaune: Why are people after Ruby and Y/n?

Ruby: Uncle Qrow? What's going on?

He knelt down and inspected my wound for a brief moment before looking back.

Qrow: What's your favorite fairy tale?
