You two quickly reach the safe room to check if anybody came back, and Sapphire hits the intercom. "Sapphire here, did anyone else came in?"
"Sapphire? Thank dust that you're safe! Azure's also here, come inside!"
You look at her resolute face, and while you would want nothing more than to protect her, to make sure she was safe and sound, you know that she would simply walk over your concerns and keep following you. In fact technically she is the one that would press for you to be on the safe room, but you simply couldn't.
Staying safe and put while others were at risk, it reminded you of the Fire, and while you grew out of the fear and terror, there was something in you that pressed you forward, forcing you to be at the face of danger. Maybe to prove yourself, maybe out of guilt, you weren't sure about it. Besides, what kind of ally of justice you would be if you simply hid while things were bad?
"I'm going to help", said Sapphire, "I'm armed and I have actual combat training."
"Jaune, please! It's too dangerous for you two to be there!" This time it was Azure who said that.
"We will help our other sisters, they will be probably fighting. The more we stay here the more they are in danger. Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves. You two just stay safe and wait for us."
"... ugh, fine! Have it your way! We will be waiting for you two, you better not die!"
"We won't!" You cheerfully say to her before turning to Sapphire, "let's go and finish checking the second floor."
"Alright, let's go!"
As you two arrived on the second floor you saw Bianca coming right at you two with a couple of nevermores and a single Beuwolf following her.
You jump and slash at one small nevermore while Sapphire do the same with her own, while Bianca holds off the Beuwolf. "What took you two so long!!!"
"Sorry!" Came the twin reply of both of you, and suddenly you see the grimm raise his paw just as Bianca was distracted. Not wasting any time you push Bianca over and you feel a sharp, intense pain on your back as the grimm slices right through your aura barrier dealing some damage which you hope will heal soon.
"Jaune!" Your to sisters cry but you simply turn around to the Beuwolf with your sword in front of you.
"Cover me from the nevermores!" You say before engaging the monster. It tried to bite your head off but only managed to scratch you, sending a jolt of pain to your face. Still you managed to counter his attack with one of your own, but the attack was clumsy parried by the monster.
Using the momentum of the parry to spin in place you swing the blade in your hands with all your might before it jams into his chest, making the grimm howl in pain. It tries to retaliate against you but you dodge to the side and finish it off with a swipe at it's head, decapitating it.
Just in time for your two sisters to finish their own fight, downing the last nevermore. "Jaune, are you alright? Show me your back!" Said your sister Bianca worried at your damage taken.
"Don't worry, it's already healed because of my aura." That wasn't exactly true since you still feel the stinging sensation on your back, but it's already lessening. In a minute or so it should be already healed. "What about you Bianca? You must have been fighting against them for a while now."
"I'm... mostly fine", she admits, "like you my aura healed me. How much aura do you still have?"
With that swipe and the cost in maintaining the Reinforcement it should be at about half full right now.
