Elites and Operatives (RWBY and Earth)

Special Experimentation

The battle continued between Winter, the Ace Operatives, Alex, and Cassandra, and the Mutant Grimm and Amoncio Glass's three mercenaries. There were more puddles of the serum on the floor and splatters of it on the walls as well due to most of the Mutant Grimm in the room being slain.

The man with the prosthetic arm swung his bat-arm down at Winter as she slid to the side to avoid the attack. He then swung at the Specialist who then leaned back barely missing her. Winter retaliates by slashing at the man's torso before kicking him in the jaw, making him stagger back a few steps. Winter turned her head and saw the woman with the grabber charging towards her. Just as the mercenary was about to swing her grabber at her, Winter creates a glyph beneath her own feet, which launches her into the air as the woman with the grabber swung and missed Winter. The Specialist summons a Manticore beneath her which she lands on its back and rides upon it.

The Manticore summon shoots a fireball down at the woman with the grabber, sending her flying back into a crate. Before winter could do anything else, she and her summon were suddenly getting shot at from someone down below. She looks down to see the woman with the tommy gun trying to shoot them down. Winter flies the Manticore summon down at the woman and tackles her to the floor. The man with the prosthetic arm then charges over and swung his arm down at the summon's head killing it. The man swung his arm at Winter, knocking her away to the floor.

The Specialist got up and saw the man pulling the woman with the tommy gun up off the floor as the woman with the grabber approached next to them. They all then turned their attention back to Winter.

"You guys along with those new militia friends of yours cost us a great payday with Bram Thornmane!" the man with the prosthetic arm said.

"We're not gonna let that slide!" the woman with the grabber added.

"At least we'll get the satisfaction of killing a Schnee bitch!" the woman with the tommy gun proclaimed.

"Oh, I don't think so," Winter retorted.

She creates several glyphs circling around the trio of mercenaries before she then springs herself off each of the glyphs, while slashing at the mercenaries in the middle. When Winter stops her attacks, the mercenaries drop to their knees with their aura breaking.

"Now surrender yourselves at once!" Winter ordered, but the mercenaries slowly got back up to their feet and raised their weapons..

Clover, Vine, Marrow, and Harriet were cornering a couple of Mutant Creeps. Elm rushes in and swings her hammer at the two Mutant Grimm and sends them flying towards Glass's three mercenaries. The Mutant Grimm crash landed on top of the three mercenaries. The bodies of the Mutant Creeps then exploded covering the downed mercenaries with the serum as they began screaming out in pain. Shocked by what is happening, Winter approaches the three mercenaries as well as the Ace-Ops while maintaining their distance from the serum.

"They've been exposed!" Winter said.

"But should their aura protect them from the serum?" Elm asked.

"I had just recently broken their aura!" Winter said.

"Well, we didn't know that! We were focused on the Mutant Grimm!" Marrow said.

Just then, several U.S. and Canadian troops rush in and notice the agonizing state Glass's mercenaries were in.

"Get these three some medical attention!" Winter ordered.

A few of the soldiers approached the mercenaries to give them medical help, while a few more went out to find some medics. The Ace-Ops, Winter, Cassandra, and Alex all watched as the mercenaries continued to suffer in agony from the serum on them.
