War Of The Grimm Forum Chapter 4: Grimm Truth

Eryn: I don't flinch as Norman freezes my feet to the floor, it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. I wasn't going to run, not any more. I could here the part of my mind that still cared screaming at me to move, but it was quickly drowned out in the white noise that had become my mind. The two women coming after me appeared in slow motion. Both semblances swirled inside me, allowing me to easily deflect both Ruby and Blakes attacks. At least most of them. A few here and there I couldn't deflect, those coming at the same moment, but they were only minor.

"Aww no fun, you're not even trying." I could hear Ruby whining "That other man was a much better toy."
A toy? A TOY?!
"You have some nerve talking about my friend like that." I say and slash away at the ice covering my shoes. I use the extreme speed of Summer's semblance in an attempt to knock the girl out. Instead, I find myself at the receiving end of a well timed kick to the gut. I shudder as the metal cell fragments littering the floor cut into my body.
"Such a pity, I thought things were going to get interesting." She said.

I pull myself up upon the weight of Jaune's sword. I could see tears falling onto the bloodstained floor. The man had lent me his weapon and I was still powerless to stop them. I couldn't help bet let the laughter escape my throat. The sound it made was deranged and strangled. It wouldn't stop, each moment growing into into a crazed cackle.
"Oh dear, it appears she's broken." I could hear ruby say. "And we can't have broken toys now can we?" The girl walked over me, casting strange shadows over my hunched body. I can hear the blade extend, ready to take me into darkness. To the place my dear mother was.

You promised me.

Our blades clashed, my hysterical outburst was over. As I glared into those glowing red eyes I promised once more to bring back the girl that was lost behind them.
A pain ruptures trough my chest, I had forgotten Blake was there and I paid dearly for the mistake. The last thing I saw before collapsing was Blake and Ruby walking away.

As the red-haired girl collapsed, Ruby turned away disgusted. She had meant what she said; the look in that Ciar boy's eyes and the emotions he gave off as he was skewered on the end of Crescent Rose made her feel amazing. She'd have to find him after she was done, thank him for what he did (something that ruby did once in a blue moon). It helped that in the younger girl's opinion he'd given her a much better fight. The collapsed girl was lucky Ruby didn't lose her cool as well; seeing that all-to-familiar fire behind the Eryn girl's eyes had infuriated Ruby Rose. How DARE she try and use her own mother's semblance against her; she was very tempted to turn around a slice the woman to bits for that little stunt.

As Norman began watching the science curiously the whispers began issuing new orders. Evacuate Blake and assist Ruby. Once ruby was clear he was to stay behind and gather Intel. He nodded and turned his staff back into a massive rifle. Which he fired at this new man who made a convenient hole in the ceiling. Norman was down to two bullets. Electrical and napalm. Neither of which he want ed to use while ruby was in the crossfire. " Blake we need to Move!" He said grabbing her and a rifle from a dead guard and began firing at the new man who easily dodged. After dragging Blake to the opening he let out a whistle and a Never more swooped down and grabbed the both of them before flying off. From his vantage point I'm the sky he shot into the hole with his Napalm round. As soon as that bullet made contact in the hall it exploded and quickly engulfed the hall in flames. He then jumped from the Nevermore's claws and shifted into his half Grimm form, which was if you didn't guess by now was a Nevermore. He glided into a tree line and watched the situation from afar. Thanks to his new form he knew the location of everyone on the base even if he couldn't see them. So with a bit of time on his hands he reloaded explosive, napalm, and freezing rounds. With a normal one in the mix just in case.

Eryn: I feel a boot nudge me, though I was in too much pain to move, I could see a strange man standing face to face with Ruby. The woman's eyes were more startling than ever. The pure loathing in them would have held me if the pain hadn't.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY MOTHER!" Ruby screamed in a voice that could curdle blood. A dark aura was emanating from her body, slowly enveloping the room.
"I WILL DESTROY BOTH OF YOU! THEN SHE'LL LOVE ME ONLY!"
I cringe as she charges the man at blinding speed, yet the man deftly dodges her swinging scythe. I press my hands against the ground to push myself up, but the pain is too much and I collapse again. Almost certainly I had internal bleeding, but I wasn't dead yet. I notice the man glance my way; as does Ruby. She takes the chance to rush him, knocking him away from me. In a flash she is above me Grimm Rose poised to kill.
"ONLY ME!" She screamed and brought the blade down.

*CRACK*

The blade falls to the side of me.
"WHAT NOW? WHY IS EVERYONE IN THE WAY!" Ruby screams in frustration and grips her head. She backs away slightly.
In front of me I see a red shell. Smoking.
"RUBY?! What are you doing? Why are you trying to kill your friends?" A familiar voice asks. A scream of pain is Ruby's only reply.
"GET AWAY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!"
I watch a pair of brown boots fill my vision, pushing Ruby farther away.
"Ruby please. Come back to me, your sister." I could hear the pain in the woman's voice.
Ruby's dark aura continues to grow, completely blocking out the painfully blue sky; turning it dark red. She stops trembling, but her eyes are unnerving. Wide open and blood red her body twitches like a marionette. A bolt of red lightning streams towards us catching the boots by surprise.
"YOU ARE NOT MY SISTER. YOU TRIED TO KILL MY SISTER, NOW ILL KILL YOU!"

"Watch out Blondie!" I hear the man call out and a bright blue blast shoots overhead, hitting Ruby square in the chest, sending her flying. Several dozen feet away the Grimm girl lay unconscious.
"Nice shot." I hear the boots say from somewhere a little ways off.
"No time to celebrate, we need to get her before..."
In an instant a black form comes and takes my dark sister away, and for a moment I think it looks like Norman.
"S**t!" I hear the man say and run over to the spot where Ruby lay only a moment before.
I try again to move, but the pain is too much yet again. My moaning grabs the mans attention.
"Right, we better get this one to the medical wing." the man says as he walks over and crouches beside me. "You mind carrying her? I think I messed up my arm in the fight."
The boots sigh.
"I'll find you again sis." She says and I feel myself being picked up. The pain makes me pass out again, leaving me with nothing but the image of golden hair.

Once Norman returned to the tree line with Ruby's body he let out a screech and a never more picked her up as well, then all the Grimm began to fall back from the ruined base leaving only Norman, now in a human appearance, sitting in a tree several hundred yards away from the base to keep an eye on them. Parts of the base was still on fire or froze solid thanks to his sniper rounds now all that was left was to watch and wait for orders.

"Well, this seems like a massive c**k-up, now doesn't it?" Altan and Yang had managed to carry an unconscious Eryn back to the infirmary, now flooded with wounded hunters and huntresses. Everyone tried to ignore the rows of raised sheets sitting on one side of the room. Altan was having his arm treated by a medic while Yang looked on, although it was clear to the man that she wasn't entirely focused.

Norman hummed to himself as he watched the base prepare. It would be great if he could infiltrate and gather some information, but he felt that at this point it would be too risky. To better maintain control on his new power with this corruption he began shifting in and out of Grimm state. Each time he shifted the voices began more powerful and they commanded one thing, Stay on task. Gather information on the enemy and report back. As the white bony mask appeared over Normans face and his body began to change into a more Avian variety he began to sense the locations of all personal and the alarm blaring again. It was the 4th time this night. What in the world was going on? He must find out, and so he jumped from the tree he perched on and glided to the roof of the base silently. He crept into the ventilation shafts once more. This was becoming a regular thing for him. Maybe he should change that....

Eryn:
* I wake upon a hill overlooking the forest, red with autumn leaves. In the distance I can make out the faint line of the ocean.

"Calming isn't it?" A cool voice says behind me. I turn around to find two women sitting upon a blanket. One wore a cloak of white, the other a cloak of red like the forest.
"Have I met you before?" I ask, for they seemed familiar, and yet I could not name them.
"Yes," the woman in white replies, "A time ago we met."
The woman beside her simply nodded.
"Won't you join us for a while?" I was asked and I nodded sitting down to their picnic lunch. As we sat to eat the girl in red started to hum a familiar tune, the one about four great warriors, red, white, black, and gold. It was beautiful and haunting.
I stared intently at the girl, though she did not frown, she seemed downcast.
"May I ask what's wrong?" I say to her and she looks at me with her silver eyes. It feels as though they are piercing through me gazing into my soul. The girl opens her mouth to speak.

"Kill, no wait, friends, enemies, obey, destroy, please no, do it, sto..." The sound of many voices passes by her lips, all speaking so quickly I can barely make out the words.
I cringe at the sound, so confusing. The woman in white reaches towards her daughter; yes that's right, her daughter, I remember. Her reach wont make it, for as she reaches, the girl gets farther away. I can see her pleading eyes asking for someone to help her. I start to run at the girl in red, but I needn't have worrried for she came closer to me.
She looked me in the eyes, and her lips formed the words.

Lost, No light, Keep a light, Darkness has come.

With that the Ruby I had met once before in the forest leaves, and the world becomes dark. Above me storm clouds roll, blocking out the light.*

I awaken to a dark room, drenched in sweat. I cough from the sudden movement, hurting my ribs. Clearly a couple were shattered. I reach around the space and my hand rests on a lamp. I pull the cord to activate it, but no such luck. A light shines into the room illuminating my fallen comrade on the bed beside me.
"Hey, you're awake!" I hear the cowboy say. "Some one knocked the lights out. Two guesses who."
I glance around the med bay, deserted except for myself Ciar and the cowboy.
Keep a light
I pull myself to my feet an walk over to the man who helped me earlier. Grasping at his arm.
"We have to move quickly." I say. "They're coming."

Norman's four red eyes watched Eryn and Ciar, along with some cowboy? The two men were watching Eryn as she recovered and he watched then from the ventilation shaft above the room. He knew back up was coming to destroy the base. It was his job to provide intelligence and location of high value targets. So he was not going to let those three out of his sight.

(Ciars still comatose :P 

( Then Insert Him in)
