Silver Frost

Nui:
The roaring sound of the waterfall overloaded my acute sense of hearing. Nonetheless, it was strangely liberating. The area I was in was perfectly serene.

The aspen trees swayed with the gentle breeze, and the titanic waterfall poured out thousands of gallons of water, turning the once calm river into the deadly whitewaters known as Whiplash Rapids.

A piercing noise suddenly overwhelmed the sound of the waterfall.

A siren.

The truck drove across the bridge, nearly running her over.

"Idiots!" I yelled. Why were trucks driving across the bridge anyway? It was tourist season, and there was strictly no vehicles. The only people allowed to drive anywhere with no jurisdiction were...

The Atlesian military.

"Shit."

The doors of the truck opened, revealing several Atlesian Knight Robots.

"Oh, come on!"

"Nui Kadra. You are arrested for associating with a known assassin. Come quietly or there will be problems," The Robots said in an eerie, well, robotic voice.

I cursed. Again. Right then. she only had two arrows from Frosted Shadow. But there were only about twenty.

Did I have a death wish?

I don't know.

''Do they? ''

I leaped into action.

Ebony:
I poked my head out of the bag, only to duck as a high powered laser fired over my head. Nui, my friend, dodged, throwing one of her odd tools at a metal man. I had no idea what was going on. I had been roughly thrown on the ground, luckily, the backpack was soft, and it didn't hurt that much.

Nui was slashing and hacking with her incredibly long claws, stabbing the metal man's heads. She jumped and flipped with incredible acrobatics that I couldn't do if I tried. Her long fur cloak (a word I invented for the occasion) blew in the wind as she vaulted over the robots, destroying all of them.

Well, that was easy.

I immediately flattened my ears against my head.

Another siren rang out.

Then another.

Then another.

Nui:
My situation was hopeless. I had two arrows from Frosted Shadow, and there were at least 60 knights ahead of me. I really didn't want to spend time in prison, especially since Hǎiyáng wasn't even in the mercenary business anymore.

I was honestly thinking of coming quietly. I knew Hǎiyáng would have fought to the end, but Hǎiyáng I wasn't. I was Nui Kadra, not an unstoppable bounty hunter.

The glare of the sun...

The spray of the waterfall...

I was distracted, just as a flying object came at me. Surprisingly, I caught it. My view was obstructed by the sun, so I couldn't see what the object was until I held it to my eye level.

Frosted Shadow.

The Knights all fired at the same time, resulting in a massive hole in the middle of the bridge. I dodged, notching several arrows on the bow, firing them between my fingers, taking out several of the robots. I immediately leaped after them, vaulting over the hole in the side of the bridge, and shooting several others.

I worked smoothly, drawing and firing so fluidly it felt like I wasn't even firing anything at all. Frosted Shadow was not a weapon, it was part of my body.

I threw one of the knives, catching one of the robots square in the chest, causing him to fall on several others. Shooting several others, caught another one with a two-footed kick. It felt like kicking a refrigerator, but it did the job. Each one that came across me was instantly torn apart.

Finally, I was on my last two last arrows. Converting them to daggers she made a final stand. I ran, employing deadly acrobatics, cutting the bridge supports with the deadly knives. Finally, the bridge groaned, tilting all of the rest of the robots back into the vicious rapids.

Ebony:
I had been watching the entire battle with bated breath, but in the end, I knew Nui would triumph. After all, she was Nui. I hadn't met someone who could beat Nui yet.

"Great job!" I meowed.

Nui smiled. "Thanks."

I could swear she knew what I was saying.

As we walked, Nui was confronted by a strange man with silver hair. He had black and green fur, and wore tiny little thin rocks over his eyes. What follows next is pure nonsense, just what I heard.

"An impressive display, Nui," The man said.

Nui jumped back. "Who are you? How do you know my name."

"Professor Ozpin at Beacon Academy. Nice to meet you." The man stuck out his paw. Nui didn't take it.

"A kind young man asked you to join a team. Do you accept?" Nui seemed to know exactly who this person was. She gritted her teeth, then smiled.

Nui seemed deep in thought, as if fighting with conflicting ideas inside her head. It took about a half-minute for her to speak. That may not seem like much, but count it out.

"Yes."

The man stepped out of the way. There he was. The only human I was ever scared of.

Hǎiyáng Castellan.
