Chapter 105 - Collapse (5)

Everyone started walking through the busted door stepping over some of the Grimm that hadn't finished turning into mist or black sludge. They walked through the door and continued moving. They came across some more stairs. It seemed that it was the only way through since every other place that could have been walked through had been collapsed.

They went up the stairs taking a left seeing that the right pathway had collapsed and kept moving.

Shallot: 'This seems like we're being led somewhere, but considering we were ambushed it's not surprising. With more fights, the stronger everyone will become. The more fights someone has the better they will become as long as they come out of it alive.'

There was another drop they took and two Boarbatusk were there. Blake fired two ki blast at them with an irritated look on her face. Shallot was slowly walking and putting some effort into moving. He stopped next to Blake while sweating somewhat.

Shallot: "It seems that you're starting to get irritated now."

Blake turned and looked at him seeing that he is still training Even though it seems that he is still adjusting. They were only walking for 20 minutes but he was already adjusting.

Shallot could feel that his body was starting to feel sore since every bit of progress he make he would increase the pressure just enough to where he can move but not run. At best right now he can do a slow job but can't sprint.

Shallot thought doing it this way he would grow the quickest within a short period of time. Shallot continued walking with Blake and they continued forward.

Ruby could see Shallot and Blake walking next to each other and floated over trying to fly as much as possible.

Ruby: "Do you know how to fly Blake?"

Blake nodded her head and floated slightly and then landed again.

Blake: "He showed me how to fly a while back. I just prefer walking since I don't like being in the air a lot."

Shallot: "She just wants to walk next to me since I don't really fly around."

While they were talking the others were dealing with some Creep Grimms that had come tunneling through the ground to attack them. Velvet was flying around swinging a replica of Ruby's scythe and tearing them apart while avoiding their attacks.

Coco was firing her minigun dealing with the clumped together ones. While Fox and Yatsuhashi dealt with the Grimm that had separated so that they won't have to worry about them later.

Team CFVY dealt with the Grimm and were breathing heavy since they hadn't fully recovered from dealing with the last large wave. Team JNPR was watching and paying attention. They wanted to learn from their teamwork and how the older teams work together.

They had finished the Grimm and they saw an opening to the right and continued on. They saw that the path was almost blocked by two large boulders. Shallot blasted the boulder making it open up larger revealing another path but mostly rubble.

They continued up the rubble path that was slanted upward and walking the path.

Nora: "This place was hit really hard. It looks like it would have been nice to live in."

Ren: "It seems that wherever people are Grimm will come to take everything from you."

Ren looked as if he was thinking about something while looking at the destroyed seat that should have stood strong.

Coco: "There are a lot of places just like this across Remnant that has fallen to Grimm. We have seen settlements that had been standing for ten years and by the time we come back through for a mission, it would have been overrun."

They continued on for another 10 minutes and came to an opening and could see a relatively undamaged building in the distance.

Oobleck: "There! That's the facility! I can't believe how well it withstood the years... a shame, still... Dr. Merlot would've never let something like this hinder the progress of his work. I can only imagine what we'll find inside."

Everyone checked their gear and thought they were ready.

Ruby pulled the sleave of Shallot before they all continued.

Ruby: "Do you have any more ammo. I used all of my ammo for the last horde of Grimm at the gate."

Shallot reached into the bag head had and pulled out a box and handed it to Ruby. What should have taken 10 seconds took a minute from the pressure he was applying on himself.

Shallot handed her the box and Ruby went to grab it and thought the box was really heavy and as soon as Shallot released the box felt really light. She took some rounds out and loaded her Crescent Rose and put the rest of the rounds in a pouch she keeps around her waist under her cape.

They continued forward and as soon as they hopped down to head forward some more Grimm came out. Mostly Creep Grimm digging through the ground.

Oobleck: "Oh dear... Watch out, team! The treasure hunt will have to wait until you kill those Grimm!"

A Creep appeared from underneath the ground behind Shallot and swung at him. As soon as its hand landed on Shallot the hand seemed to get stuck and couldn't move its hand. It tried moving its hand but was stuck.

Shallot: "Oh, does someone want a hug."

Shallot slowly walked to the Creep Grimm with his arms out and then grabbed the Grimm in a hug. Jaune was watching with his mouth open as Shallot hugged the Grimm making the bone plating on its body crack with everyone hearing cracking sounds.

The Creep was trying to struggle and get away then its spine folded like a foldable chair and its body turned into a V shape with a black fluid leaking from its body. Shallot dropped the Grimm. Shallot turned and looked towards the other Grimm with his eyes flashing between his regular red color and silver.

Shallot: "Anyone else wants a hug?"

Shallot asked sarcastically but the Grimm stepped back slightly before his eyes went back to red and the Grimm started moving forward again.

Fox: "I definitely don't want a hug from him. Sounded pretty painful to me and I may not have eyesight but even I don't want to see how the Grimm turned out."

Jaune just rapidly shook his head. While Nora had stars looking at that think if she could do that if she got strong enough. Yang was next to Velvet and whispered something to her ear.

Yang: "He's quite gentle with us in bed and it's really comfortable when he wraps his arms around us."

Velvet's face turned red and Yang could see some smoke coming from her head and started thinking about Shallot with her face turning redder until her imagination went to one image and she passed out standing up.

Yang saw Velvet and nodded her head thinking that she understands why Shallot always tried to get a rise out of her now. It's fun.

The Grimm that had appeared were dealt with by Team JNPR this time with them wanting to work on cooperation attacks giving everyone else a break from fighting.

Shallot could see that there were pretty much giant plant holders that were under the trees so they can grow as everything in the city was concrete and there was no grass or dirt.

Shallot: 'I wonder why they didn't leave openings for the dirt and grass?'

Shallot was watching them deal with the rest of the Grimm the only ones left were 5 Creeps, 7 Beowolves, 1 Ursa, and 1 Ursa Major. Ren and Nora dealt with the 5 Creeps and 7 Beowolves while Jaune dealt with the 1 Ursa.

Pyrrha was fighting the Ursa Major without relying on her metal control since she wanted to make sure her spear techniques weren't falling behind.

It seemed that all the Grimm were easy for them to deal with except the Ursa Major Pyrrha was dealing with. She had to time her attacks and sent stabbing attacks into its legs to hinder its movement.

Even though she was being careful and widdling it down it was still tanky and was just a matter of time. She spent 3 minutes taking it down from it being tanky.

The Grimm were finished and they walked towards the building and Fox stopped before they opened the door.

Fox: "Stop!!!!"

Everyone had stopped.

Fox: "I can hear something that sounds like ticking from inside the building."

Shallot closed his eyes and was listening out and could also hear a ticking but it was faint. The more he was listening the more ticking her heard. It came from inside the building but all over the building.

Shallot: "Most likely bombs."

Coco: "We should be careful then and not use the doors. Good job Fox."

Fox: "Good thing I was paying attention or I wouldn't have seen how we were blown up."

Yang shook Velvet who she was carrying over her shoulder making Velvet regain her senses.

Yang: "Isn't he blind?"

Velvet: "He's fine with his blindness and will joke about it sometimes. He's pretty funny most of the time."

Coco tried to check the window and the glass feel inward from it being so old and shattered.

Coco: "Shit."

A loud explosion then went off and the entire building started coming down on top of them.

Jaune: "We're all going to die!!!!"
