Heroes of Beacon
Chapter 13: Forever Fall
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTeam LNTVO, Team DSBUC and Team RPJRY were standing out in a forest of red trees carrying packs full of empty jars. Diane was carefully assessing the forest around them, Sunset had her weapon ready. Blake was in the trees with a clone walking alongside them. Weiss and Cardin were discussing strategy. Lie Ren, Tempest and Octavia were carefully watching Vinyl and Nora who were looking around in awe.
Jaune and Pyrrha were on point was keeping their shields up weapons at a ready. Ruby and Yang were happily chatting as Rainbow soared above them. Glynda turned to the group “I’m glad to see some of you at least serious about this. Complacency is dangerous as these woods are full of Grimm.” She then held up a jar full of a red liquid “Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4 o'clock. Have fun!”
Diane leads her team deeper into the Forest, they need five jars of red sap. Diane had her axe and shield resting on her back, Cardin frowned as he looked around “It is way too quiet around here, the Grimm should be on us by now.”
Sunset frowned “They won’t attack as long as we have our guard up, Grimm tend to avoid fighting us. At the least the older ones and considering that this place is used for aspiring Hunters and Huntresses there are really going to be any older Grimm who will attack us with these numbers.”
Just as she finished speaking they all heard a scream of pain from someone else, Cardin ran in the direction the scream only to see Pyrrha fighting several Beowolves while Jaune helplessly pounded an Ursa Major with his shield.
Cardin ran over smashing against it’s body with a heavy strike from his Executioner. The rest of Team DSBUC soon turn up, Cardin shouted “Help Pyrrha, I’ll take care of this one!” Weiss used Lightning Glyphs to speed up Blake, who proceeded to tear one of the Beowolves apart with multiple slashes from her weapon Gambol Shroud. Sunset using Philomena and Diane using her fists fought the other Beowolves.
Cardin growled at Jaune as he bashed the Ursa Major “Fight like a man and help me kill this thing! Seriously, you want to be Hunter then start fighting!”Jaune responded by rushing forward only to get knocked away by the beast’s side swing, it then knocked Cardin into a tree with a mighty swipe.
Before the Ursa Major could attack either, Diane leapt in front of and punched it into oblivion. Cardin groaned as he stood up “I’ll be fine.”
Diane gave him a thumbs up before picking up Jaune, she glared at him “You stupid bumbling moron, you could have gotten one of my teammates killed! What the heck where you thinking, you charged forward and your shield was so poorly placed that you got instantly knocked away. I will take over your training and by the end of this you will be a capable fighter!”
Jaune gulped as she dropped him “Yes Ma’am.”
It was at that moment that Rainbow, Yang and Ruby entered carrying five jars of red sap. Pyrrha stormed over to Rainbow “Where were you when we were ambushed by Grimm! We could have both been killed by Grimm!”
Team LNTVO entered the clearing with their own jars, Lie Ren frowned “Did Rainbow ‘s Team end up in trouble or something?”
Diane grimaced “We had to save Pyrrha and Jaune because the rest of their team ran off like a bunch of happy go-lucky children.”
Tempest growled as she stormed over to Rainbow “Rainbow, you are supposed to take care of you team! Do you understand what it means to be a leader! It means you have to protect you team, they depend on you for guidance!”
Rainbow growled “I’m doing my best here, I have never led a group before! I thought I could trust the two of them to take care of themselves if they were attacked!”
Diane sighed as she lead her team away to collect their own jars, Lie Ren frowned “Rainbow being a leader is never easy but it is something that one must take seriously. Your a responsible for their safety… you are not like us. I can see the innocence in your eyes, you have never been in danger before. You have never had to live in fear.”
Rainbow slumped “The truth is I’m not even from this world and I have not even heard of Grimm. The idea of fighting them terrifies me, that I will die in the middle of nowhere a world away from home.”
Tempest frowned “I came along with her, as did Diane. Diane lost her memory on the way through and ended up far from us. We were adults where we came from but became young kids when we arrived. I was Commander of a Military for many years thus this doesn’t really faze me too much.”
Most of the others were shocked but Lie Ren frowned “That does make a lot of sense, Faunus only have one traitfrom the animal that they are part. You have more than one.”
Vinyl frowned “I never noticed that. Yet again I am not the most attentive about appearances as long as it doesn't involved my safety.”
Tempest frowned “This needs to be kept secret, Ozpin, Ironwood and a few others are in on it. It would not be good if word spread that beings from another world are real. I'm sure you can understand our concern.”
Octavia nodded “We won’t tell another soul, we swear it. Our three teams will keep this between us but Team DSBUC should be fully informed about what happened. It would be unwise to leave them out of the loop.” The two teams nodded and then they turned around to see Team DSBUC carrying their jars ready to return. The three teams all returned to Glynda who congratulated them on completing their tasks before they headed back to the school.
