I do not own RWBY or any rooster teeth assets
A man in a lab coat is walking through a well lit hallway to a pair of doors manned by to bored soldiers. The man looks to be in his late fifties, grey hair dominating his head. Show his id to the guards they allow him thought like so many time before. Passing through the doors he sees the object of his joy reading a book.
"Hello Rust" said the lab coat clad man.
Putting down the book reveals a rust coloured robot. Most of its body is covered by a sleek metallic skin. " hello father how was your day?" It replied in a steely voice.
Looking at the robot identified as rust smiled warmly. " it was good, what are you reading?"
Rust looks at his father with eyes that seem to be filled with emotion. " I was reading the story about a strange man in a emerald city. Why dose the man live alone?"
The father could only chuckle, rust is like a small child, always asking questions. " I don't know. I was never able to figure it out either."
"Do I get to help you around the laboratory today?" Rust asks
Smiling he gets up and motion to his 'son' to fallow him. The duo walk through a hallway with glass windows on each side to allow people to observe the different men and we on at work inventing and testing new inventions.
Robotics have come along way, Rust proves that, not only is he sentient his power core hasn't needed to be plugged in to charge in over a month. Muses the man in his mind. Rust heart of power core it a self charging battery. He doesn't need to plug in all he has to do is sleep like a people do. He loves his son, the military always try to persuade him into allowing them to use his creation to replace men on the field. The answer is always no.
He says knows because the military keep forgetting that Rust's blueprints will make sentient beings. They would only make a army of psychopaths and sociopaths. They would only know how to kill. They don't know that he's tried to create more but it took him ten tries to not make a killer. The first nine were rather sociopaths or psychopaths or both. The tenth was really hard to make because he needed to give him the intelligence of a infant. So far the past 18 years have been good with rust his mentality is the most stable. Although he can kill with out a second thought. He taught Rust to only kill if it's absolutely necessary.
That worked wonders on his out door trials he saw a man mugging a women and instead of killing him he knocks him out. He asked Rust why he didn't kill him. Rust said he didn't want to because that would make him worst then the mugger.
The man stops his train of thought as he approaches his latest project. Entering through a pair of doors he and Rust are greeted by engineers and students as the prepare to start the test. The room was a decent size able to hold a dozen people on the opposite side to the doors is a wall of glass that over look the project. Just below the glass is a array of consoles manned by some of the junior engineers.
Rust walk towards the windows surprising some of the newer students in the room. Because the last thing they expected was a six foot tall robot to walk by them. Some of the older hands chuckled at the students science they had see Rust so may times before. Standing side by side are two cylindrical objects. The inside glowed blue while the rest was coloured white.
A young women walks up to the man "Professor wolf, we are ready to commence the test of the portals all you need to do is say the word." She said in a high pitch voice.
The man named wolf turns his gaze from the machine to his left as men clad in military fatigues walk into the room. The first two wore standard military gear armed with assault third man is dressed in a officers uniform clad with several medals
"General nice to see you." Wolf said while extending a hand to man.
The general gave a forced smile while shaking wolfs extended hand. "Have you finally decided to let us continue unit 001's training?" The general said already knowing the answer.
Wolf frowned " General the training I allowed you to give him was so he could operate in a police force not in a military. I don't need him killing people when I'm teaching him to protect people."
The general scoffs " you would be doing your country a great service. Think of all the lives you could save by replacing our troops with your Robots."
Wolf sighs " And what about ending conflict, all you'd end up doing is killing more people."
The tension in the room could be felt by all present. The General turns his attention to the window not bothering to answer the mans questions. He motions to wolf to start the test.
Wold smiles knowing that he damaged the generals ego tremendously. Wolf spoke up in a loud voice "Start the test.".
The engineers started the process of activating the machine. The cylinders centres started to glow furiously. Suddenly the glowing lights dimmed to reveal a water like door in each centre.
The room erupted into cheer as the activation was a complete success. But suddenly that all changed as warning light went off on all of the consoles.
"Professor the gateway is collapsing." Screamed one of the engineers.
While all the staff run out wolf and the general including his guard attended to deactivate the devices. Wolf eyes went wide as he felt himself getting pulled in. Suddenly he felt himself being thrown aside by Rust. He watched in horror as the general and his guards along with Rust get pull through the vortex.
Rust didn't know why he did it, He didn't know why he let himself be taken by the vortex. He felt the need to put himself in harms way to save his father. He felt bad as he saw the looked into his fathers eyes for the last time. He could see how proud he was, and how sad he was. As he was pulled in every thing went black.
He woke up in a forest, sitting up he is greeted by the sight of the general and his body guards being eaten by strangely coloured beasts. Funny he thought they look like wolfs. One of them turns and looks at Rust. It's body is coloured black and its head featured a white skull with red eyes burning with the desire to kill.
Rust stands up, judging by the creatures choice of meal and the desire to kill in its eyes. He scans for a weapon, he finds the guards assault rifle near the trunk of one of the trees. The wolf creature is standing between him and the rifle. It let out a bone chilling howl and lunges at Rust.
Acting almost instantly Rust dodge the creature savage strikes. He vault over the wolf thing and manages to get his hands on the rifle. Turning off the safety he points the gun at the creature. The gun roar to life firing its deadly payload at the wolf thing.
The creature falls over and ceases any movement. Turning his attention to the rest of the creatures which are now looking at him with more caution then there comrade showed. They charge at the robot without a second thought.
Rust opens fire at one of the creatures the creature armoured head deflects some of the bullets while a few hit in the eyes. Rust fends off the creatures with an elegance that the many would admire. Rust like any combatant with the same skill he has is prone to mistakes. Outside his field of view one of the creature attack him from behind. The creature managed to rip parts of his shell of revealing the internal wiring and servos . Using his freehand he grabs it by the neck throwing it into another creature.
Rust finally kills the last of the creatures, his armour now features several gashes all over his body. He's also missing some parts of his shoulder armour. Rust finally felt like he was safe, but he knew better then to stick around.
He walks over to the three deceased men and proceeds to loot any ammo they had. While searching one of the men he found his combat knife. Rust examine the serrated teeth of the knife. Taking the knife Rust starts to slice the air practicing on a invisible target. He take the knifes sheath and attach it to his left forearm.
Rust looks around finally taking in the scenery of the forest. It is beautiful forest despite the skirmish that happened moments ago. He could already hear the birds chirping, the frogs croaking. He turns. Back to the bodies, they may have been scum to his father. But he won't hold back burying then. Its what his father would do.
Rust take a scan of the area and detects a small abandoned settlement to the west. He could also see the sun was going to set soon. Debating the pros and cons of using this settlement came into his artificial brain. Pros provide excellent protection to the elements. Cons it may likely have raiders pass through and try to 'salvage' his body. Against his better judgment he heads to the settlement. On the way to the settlement he sees a dusty old crow preening its feathers. He continues toward the settlement without giving the bird a second thought,
unaware that it stopped its preening and started fallowing him.
He continue to move toward the settlement. Rust could already identify man made structures in the distance. When he finally entered what remains if the villages town square he could detect signs of conflict. Those signs were human skeletons with various weapons around them. He walks unfazed until he sees something that catches his artificial eye. A skeleton that looks to be more recent then the others. It's was under the room of what seemed to be a old black smith shop. Rust could almost hear the sounds of the blacksmith working his forge. The aide keeping the forges Fire going to hot. Old weapons and tools lined the walls of the shop. The body is covered by a blanket from the shoulders to his feet. Carefully lifting the blanket he discovers the deceased person weapon, a sniper rifle.
Now getting a good look at the skeleton he could see it was a man in his late twenties. "What a shame." Rust says to no one.
Picking up the weapon he's shocked to find it in good condition. The rifle has little to no corrosion on it most damaged part appears to be the stock. Then it his him the gun survived because it was hidden under the blanket. He pick the blanket up to revel it wasn't even a blanket it was a plastic tarp.
Turning his attention back to the gun. It looked like a energy weapon from the comics his father let him had strange crystals sticking out on a angle. He counted at least thirty slots in total with only three on them holding a crystal. The crystals make it look like someone skinned a porcupine and strapped the hide to the rifle. He carefully removed one of the crystals. As soon as it was in his grasp it started to softly glow. He could feel the raw power in the object. Placing it back in the rifle he looked for any on switch. Flicking what seemed to be the safety brought weapon to life.
The barrel glowed a menacing shade of tried like the crystals he examined. "Well here goes nothing."he said to the none existent people
He aims the weapon at a loose stone on a lone standing wall.
BANG
The stone he aimed at was now a small pile of magma on the ground. Well not just the stone the entire wall that he aimed at was gone. He looks at the crystals and noticed one of them is half the length of the others. Satisfied with the rifle he goes and find a suitable room to stay in at a old inn. Curiously before he goes to sleep the same crow is now perched out side of his window watching him. Right before Rust enters his dreamless sleep he wonder what is his father doing right now.
I'm stuck with so many ideas for this story so I'm going to let the reviewers guide the story
1. Should rust restore this village and act as its guardian
2. Should he use it as his personal hideout
Depending on the chosen out come I may allow other of into the story.
