So, I went back and fixed some issues I found here. probably not the ones the long term readers of this story initially found but something. Also, Im NOT DEAD YET. certain people will understand.
For reference and the fact I may need to say this per every...five chapters?
I do not own anything, not RWBY, not Titanfall or any affiliated items tag tare owned by Rooster teeth or Respawn Entertainment, hell I don't even own my own soul. I own the plot and the lives I'm messing with by playing god.
Space is vast, holds all kinds of possibilities. Fermi Paradox: Alien life does not exist. At first true no signs of alien life ever found when man's reach extended to the stars. Which meant its greed could go about unhindered.
In the Frontier, Practically anything can happen in a way. Meaning Murphy's law is in constant effect. Especially when it comes to Pilot and Titan duos. Pilots are agile, merciless and deadly. Titans slow, steadfast, intimidating.
These are the main contenders of the War between the IMC, a mining company tasked with collecting resources and maintaining order, and the Frontier Militia the rag-tag band of colonists fighting against the IMC's exploitation of the Frontier at any cost.
Among this conflict everyone must pick a side or be killed when the fighting reaches home. And it will always hit at home for the fighters be they grunts or commanders.
/\[V]/\
The Planet Ozuno V a one of a kind world. Some may call it a Gaia world. This world is lush and vibrant with wide array of life all of them docile of course. This world has numerous resources ready for harvest its beauty forced the IMC to use other means to harvest the resources needed preserving the ecology for once why who knows or cares.
Its home to roughy around 1.2 million people with a several IMC garrisons housing 500 thousand soldiers each. By far its a 'Jewel' in the Frontier, everyone is wanting this world mainly for its secluded position and its largely untapped resources.
Its home to a variety of people from all walks of life. Near the base of a mountain where its a lush vibrant grass plain sat a two story house, fence covering a 50 acre plot, farm land covering 40% of the land. Even a odd barn in the corner nestled by several silos.
While real, its near a local town home to the planets Biological Development Lab called, Cyrannic Solutions. At this house holds a family doomed to a life of misery…but not yet atleast, not for the oldest son.
/\[V]/\
Alexavier Barnett, Eldest son to the Barnett family name. His father's name Eberhard Barnett a discharged black ops operative after a battle gone wrong took his legs and being discharged due to it developed a strong hatred for war with HOW he was discharged, settled down with a girl by the name of Celine Barnett.
How they met is rather strange considering Celine was a Researcher with all kinds of degrees in biology. And Eberhard was off duty after a successful mission. They met when Celine was on break stumbling into each other in opposite directions, Eberhard from the mess hall and Celine to the mess hall.
After colliding and scattering some notes she planned on reviewing sighing as she went to pick them up grumbling about males and their lack of eyesight, noticed a armored hand helping her. Looking up she saw his face smiling and apologizing. Celine sighed but surprisingly found it adorable how she came to the conclusion when just meeting him will forever be beyond her. Hell even for him he found her to be a goddess.
Not long after that, they began spending their free time together they say opposites attract and in this case, true. Eberhard was cocky, impulsive, and rather free with his emotions. While, Celine was modest, cautious, but emotions held to the heart more. Others see the relations falling but others see it as a good balance for each other.
It was wafter his discharge did they decide to leave the military, one of them being forced on good terms the other following to help him cope with his new prosthetics she help make specifically for him, and to be his rock.
The new world called Ozuno called to them. They were given a 50 acre plot, 50 thousand credits, and told to go hog wild. Eberhard wanted to give to society not take from it noting to his black op assassination jobs the military tasked him with. Celine wanted to just be there for him to help him in anyway she can. In fact she help fund Cyrannic Solutions in a way to help deal with xeno diseases by creating a virus capable of mutating the host in small ways to repel the foreign invaders she calls the 'Cruentus'. Yet the user still retains humanity.
So far the farm is doing wonders especially with the only two beings he would go to war for.
His son and daughter named, Alexavier and Melody. They stood by each other ever sense Melody was born Alex stood by her protecting her from anyone hoping to harm er and doing a better job the the 'Grizzled Veteran Dad'. Their father snorted when he heard his nickname as the 'Black Knight'. He saw the knight but the black part was when he gave a boy a black eye for 'accidentally' pushing Melody into a puddle when she was five.
Alex who was seven went berserk and gave the kid a black eye. Eberhard at first was angry but laughed and said always do whats right. While never encouraging or discouraging, Alex only fought to protect her or take punches meant for her. Apparently this caused Melody to take up nursing from their mother to just give back to him.
During dinner Alex, who is 19 at this time, expressed his want to join the IMC to fight the Militia to actually bring stability if anything. Eberhard's eyes widened and grew hazy. He simply said "No, you will be here with the rest of us" in a 'no nonsense' like tone.
Catching Alex off guard, he responded "But, didn't you fight to bri-" Alex never finished when he got sent further into his chair out of fear when his father's angry gaze fell upon him from the head of the table.
"I did my time, and even if they do it begrudgingly, Your not fighting for a cause only to die on some world over something petty! I will not let my own flesh and blood be shafted like I was for countless years of service. You will stay here and help support this family!" Eberhard said with anger but with hurt that he was shattering his son's dreams only to be surprised and feeling small amount of pride.
"I DO NOT CARE DAD!" Alex screamed slamming his hands down on the table startling Celine but Melody saw it coming and placed a soothing hand on his shoulder.
"Believe me, i want to stay here but knowing that the Militia can just warp here, take whats ours and leave us penny less all in the name of 'Peace'. I will not let that happen cause i want to fight them to protect my family from them. If I can help in keeping them away from my home then damn the consequences!" Alex said staring his father in the eyes who was hiding a smile.
"Good, then that means i raised you right" Eberhard said with a small smile throwing Alex, Melody, and even Celine for a loop but Celine quickly recovered seeing her beloved's gaze.
"No matter what Alex, We will be here for you when ever you return" Celine said with happiness even if she was dishearten when she heard her eldest go off to fight.
Then Melody pipped in "I plan on helping big bro by studying hard at the university to make weapons and armor so he won't die" she said with a jovial smile then turned into mischief "Besides I'm the only one who can keep him from loosing an eye or two"
Alex laughed roughing up her dirty blond hair getting a pout and 'HEY!' causing everyone to laugh. Oh, Alex will miss these times.
/\[V]/\
After getting the father's blessing, Motherly tears, and the little sister's cries for more time he left to the nearest recruiting office. He applied to be a pilot and instantly handed a jump kit and told to impress the recruiter evaluating him. Suffice it to say he passed with flying colors a prodigy in the works. Alex will always deny saying he had natural skill and simply say he just went with the flow.
After that, he was sent to 'Boot Camp Hell' as he put it dealing with a Pilot instructor who almost broke Alex's nose for making a off handed comment about his love life which was true considering his ramrod straight posture.
In his 'team' of four was Alex him self as the assault, Tis as their sniper, Natalie their CQC, and finally Hailey their leader.
Tis is short for Tristan he is a lanky, white, blonde hair, fellow but average with a jump kit and wouldn't know it by looking but he has the 'sniper eyes' he saw Natalie from 80 feet away doing stretches without anyone knowing. Except for Alex who saw him looking, it took him a while and a scope to see what he was staring at.
Natalie is a take no shit and busting balls kind of gal, red head and the extra fire to go with her normal attitude and white. She routinely pets and cradles her EVA-8 shotgun like it was her own child even going as far as to call it her 'baby'. Alex shivered at that pet naming and even cringed while crossing his legs when she castrated a guy for hitting on her with, her foot.
Hailey to Alex atleast was beautiful. Her neck length dark brown hair was magnificent, her bright blue eyes were oceans he was willing to get lost for, her tan skin was leaving him jaw dropping. Her armor hid little to him yet hid everything. Her attitude was Business but seemed to catch onto Alex's stares even when he wasn't aware she was aware.
After she returned to their dorm. Alex was stepping out with the others to go fulfill some test with a smg which Tis and Alex dreaded. Only for Alex to see Hailey shake her hips ever so slightly for him as she walked past him. To Alex two flags went up a green one for she is into me and a red one for saying ITS A TRAP SHES YOUR CO.
Under his helmet he blushed and was thankful for it and played it off. When he barely passed the SMG test, and stood proudly proclaiming 'SMGs are shit, i prefer the assault rifle ladies then the SMG children'. Tis and even Natalie laughed and agreed considering one used only snipers and the other shotguns. Hailey would roll her eyes if she heard him.
/\[V]/\
Hailey stared at the files she had on hand. Out of her team the easiest to sway in descending order from best to worst was Tis, Alex, then Natalie. She wanted absolute control in a way over her team.
She wanted undying loyalty, she wanted to finally feel in power and considering the fact Natalie and Tis congregated around Alex for some reason. Odds are he was around more and saw that she herself defected to Alex in terms of a second opinion.
They managed to complete training in the top 10 thankfully they all decided to serve in the same ship the IMS Pandora. A recently built Battleship class, atleast they had their own quarters which unanimously, also meaning Hailey got democratically out voted, They decided to have one conjoined barracks for their team.
It went surprisingly well. Her team trusted her now. Natalie never liking authority was surprisingly quick to accept her orders. During a skirmish over a planet ,she did not bother learning its name, her team was tasked with hunting a certain defector by the name of Kyle Lancelot.
Apparently he was researching something about jump drives and their connection to what happens in-between jumps. He got pretty far before realizing something horrible that he chose to run to the Militia. Appears the higher ups tracked him and his protectors here.
In the Goblin transporting them planet side during the confusion the IMC 7th fleet consisting of their battleship and several smaller escort vessels, fighting against the Protector Militia fleet.
"Hey Tis, your rifle barrel is off by a few centimeters" Hailey heard Alex talk to Tis. Strange how Alex took to weapon maintenance like holy gospel, his rants along the lines of 'The weapons are like loyal animals, treat them well, feed and water them, they will stay loyal for ever'. Honestly, they never believed him when he said it till Natalie's shotgun jammed while she did her pre-checks once.
"The hell my girl is brand spanking new how the fuck did it jam?!" She said while trying to figure it out. Alex chuckled swiping it out of her hand. Natalie's face was pure hate and possibly showing of her lineage to satan.
"THE FUCK YOU SHIT?" Natalie stared as Alex began petting the shotgun while fluidly pulling various moveable parts and cocked it shelling out a bent casing. He handed back saying "She was screaming bloody murder, better take care of her. Also oil her joints she was screaming in pain and i was attempting to soothe her".
After that, her team actually began taking care of their weapons so when he said Tis' Kraber's barrel was misaligned he was quick to rectify it. Alex said 'She is quiet for now' Hailey never had the thought of shoving him into a psyche ward's padded room ever.
Their door opens and the spectre ushered them out. Alex took point like always with Natalie at his left flank and herself at his right with Tis hanging back a few inches using his sniper eyes scourge the cliff faces.
"Fucking hate jungles…makes my lady tense" Alex said petting his rifle. Hailey never understood her attraction to him but figured it was a factor of his loyalty, trust, goof ball nature and judging from his weapon: care.
"Well then just make sure you treat her to a bath then" Natalie said smirking
"Actually i planned to the second I heard 'Swamp'. I hate swamps always humid and hot, ruins my lady's internals" Alex said sighing. "Chin up Smooth-Talker, atleast that lady wont leave you" Tis added making everyone laugh except Alex who suddenly felt his shoulders weighed 50 pounds extra slumping him over.
"HEY! in my defense she came on to me!" Alex turned his head slightly to look back. While common knowledge agrees with him, he did scare her off when he grabbed her pistol and began 'smooth-talking' it while also repairing a damage he 'heard'.
"By came on to me, you mean she nailed you with her boot considering her pistol was dangerously close to her 'no no square'?" Hailey said, with undertone of jealousy that no one picked up and just happiness knowing he could be daring.
"Oh please not you too" Alex slumped over again causing more laughter.
"Wait, something is up ahead" Tis said causing everyone to adopt serious attitudes and hide behind the LITERALLY NUMEROUS TREES in the murky area.
She saw Tis looked through his scope and began marking 5 grunts on a 5 meter high wall provide lookout, two at a gate, and a third in a central watchtower.
" 'insta-camp' compliment average, standard rotations, strange considering the Militia knowing our want for him, may put him under better guard" Tis said skeptically.
"I don't like it not one bit" Alex said, while Natalie reached over to activate her radar pulse still Hailey stopped her.
Natalie looks dover to her with a face conveying why, till she pointed to two ogre class titans with 40mm cannons and whats looked like rocket pods.
"They will instantly know were here, at this range I'm glad the swamp's heat is hiding us" She said.
"Alex i want you and Natalie to move to the side while i draw their attention, Tis take out what guards you can" Hailey said directing them, Alex nodded and took off with Natalie to the right, Tis climbing up a tree putting him on the same hight of the entity in the tower. Hailey sighed pulling out her charge rifle.
Looking behind her checking her possible avenues of escape before realizing and taking a page out of Alex's book. "Fuck it I'm winging it". She charged her rifle nailing the right ogre right in the cockpit causing the pilot inside to vocalize a loud curse before falling down in shock.
The other titan already en-route to turn her into paste.
'shit…Shit…SHIT' she took off as the ogre began firing and missing worse then a baby with a smart pistol.
With Tis, he already began killing the grunts he marked now firing into the compound killing the scrambling grunts, heads ceremoniously mimicking fireworks.
Alex gave Natalie the best job she heard to rodeo the fallen ogre, plant charges on it, leave and create a explosion. Which she did cause somehow the titan stayed laying down probably from shock that he was on the ground.
Alex vaulted into the base ignoring the constant head popping. He had to crouch behind several crates while taking pot shots with his carbine at the few grunts hiding from Tis's sniper eyes.
He gotten used to the terrors of war relatively quickly mainly cause he followed the advice of 'Its either him or me'. He kept count of how many he killed during his first op. So far 10 grunts.
He attached a satchel meant for breaching onto the door. It blew it off the hinges and Alex entered already firing and switching from target to target reloading twice.
Overall he killed 5 grunts another dying to the door if the red spray at the end of the hall was anything to go by. He took note of a 2nd titan explosion, seems Natalie took it out and the lack of a sniper rounds going off was good news.
Although, the lack of friendly sniper fire did plant a seed of doubt. He shook it off, stalked to a door at the far end by the splattered grunt door, opening finding the crazed scientist holding the area where his heart would be.
He seemed to be scared shitless considering his pant situation. "Kyle Lancelot, your coming back with us and serving trial for desertion" He said while he grabbed him, put his arms behind his back and zip-tying them together.
While escorting him out, he saw his team checking the site for supplies for the trip back to the ex-fill location. Tis was collecting more krater AP rounds, Natalie was scrounging though their stores for ammunition and spare parts, and Hailey keeping watch.
Pushing the captive forward, he stumbled and ate some the soggy earth, Alex went to search for rations, ammunition, spare-parts, and rifles he may have not seen before.
Hailey sat on a crate using Kyle's kneeling body as a foot stool while keeping watch, Alex now confirmed she had a dominatrix feel to her and shuddered now.
While coming through the crates, He found a rifle that had a bull-pup designed grabbing one and a manifest that came with it calling it the 'V-47 Flatline'. He nodded happily and put it on his back mag locking it while taking spare clips of ammunition.
"Found a new love Alex?" Natalie said while reloading spent drums.
"Maybe, gotta check what the new girl can do before making her a lady" Alex said cleaning his R-101c Carbine.
"Hope your Mistress there isn't jealous of the new fling" Natalie said smirking.
Alex sighed, "Oh she is mad but accepts her. In fact she is talking to the new addition laying the ground rules" Alex smirked then his face fell "And now they are fighting"
Tis laughed while Natalie rolled her eyes wit a smile. Yep Hailey loved his caring nature the most.
After calling for evac at their location and razing the camp to the ground, Their goblin transport landed few meters away from the main gate. Alex was escorting Dr. Lancelot to the transport who mind you was vigorously attempting to escape.
Everyone cringed when they heard Alex deliver a devastating kick to his knee.
The sickening crack they heard would not be haunting worthy but define how Alex gets when his patience is thinning. That leg bent in a unnatural angle to the side but Alex forced him to walk regardless.
/\[V]/\
Once returning the doctor to his proper escort, and medic attempting to set his leg, the team was called to the titan bay for a 'meeting'.
Alex only once heard what he calls 'the best news ever' when his family announced his little devil sister. But this is a good second to best news ever.
"Team HATN, Your op to bring back Dr. Lancelot earned your team their own titans, As per SOP you choose the chassis, everything else is up to you." The captain of the ship said walking off.
Hailey smiled along with Tis and Natalie , as they began talking amongst them selves. But heard a lack of Alex's voice in their conversation, they turned to look at them who's right arm was twitching.
"Alex you alright?" Natalie said in uncharacteristic worry. Their only response was Alex walking to them. When he got close enough he threw his arms around them brining them close.
He said in a low voice "Do. You. Know. What. This. Means" His voice could be mistaken for unbridled rage. Letting go of his teammates, He walked to a Ogre chassis and took his helmet off.
He turned around showing his hazel eyes and a wide smile. His team began to catch on to whats going on.
"WE GET OUR OWN TITANS! IMAGINE WHAT THEY WILL SAY!" he went full psycho mode causing everyone to laugh even Hailey was joining in on the laughing fest secretly.
"Imagine the versatility. we can modify with our Titans to be, support, tank, damage, anti-tank, sniper, EVERYTHING IS LEFT TO US, I CALL DIBS ON THE OGRE" Alex said while speed talking to him self as he climbed all over the chassis analyzing it.
"He's never going to calm down is he?" Natalie said rhetorically with a nod from the other two.
Sigh, "Well lets go get requisition our chassis and it seems he already has his" Hailey said while filling out a form for an atlas, Natalie Atlas as well and Tis a Stryder.
After Piloting their titans to their team's titan bays. They told the Techs what they wanted done and left but Alex didn't and just said 'Get me tools necessary for installing the parts", The techs looked at him skeptical but handed the tools over. His helmet off and his team saw him with the biggest smile.
/\[V]/\
Alex was in his element. Especially with modifying the Titan of his. He already knew what he was going to do when the Captain said 'Their own Titans'.
His silence was him rebooting his mind which was full of plans already thought out. He first began making sure the servos in the legs and arms are at 100% along with the hydraulics as well. Next he made sure the armor was up to snuff.
To the onlooker he was a monkey scrambling over the whole titan removing some plates, fixing under neath it, putting it back on then moving to another area. His team though, only signed and left knowing he will come to the mess when ready.
Opening the hatch to sit inside to test the servos. Activating the Titan and programming the 'Vanessa' OS voice into the titan. He began to move the arms that felt natural to him. Seeing acceptable, near miss able, lag in the arms and legs. He began to do complex motions testing the limits of his titan's reach, once finding it acceptable he shut the titan down and put it into standby mode.
Closing the hatch then jumping down wiping the grime and oil from Titan servicing off on a towel graciously given by the techs who were shocked to see him tune, modify, install, etc. his titan and a few giving the other credits based on a bet.
Attaching his helmet to his belt. He walked to the mess, When he got there it was noisy as ever and not a drop in sound when he entered. He went to the counter grabbing his daily ration for the allotted time sitting with his team keying in onto the conversation.
"-ats when Hailey here proved she had iron balls, i mean who just shoots a Ogre in the face?" Tis said recounting the story to the other pilots and grunts sitting around them.
"Why is it your team gets the cool missions" said some random pilot in assassin gear, "Cause were awesome" said Natalie shoving a steak in her mouth, how her jaw got wide enough to fit a three pound steak into her mouth he did not want to know.
"No you eating a 3 pound T-bone whole with the bo-" Alex stopped seeing her cough up a spotless T-bone "-I give up" Alex said taking bites from his steak. "Your a fucking force of nature Natalie"
"Oh you noticed, thank god for that" Natalie said sarcastically with a smile. Alex rolled his eye then heard a giggle to his right, slowly looking over to Hailey's face with shock and fear.
The voices of the mess did not grow quiet but their table did as the team stared at her. She stopped staring at them "What? she said with confusion.
"You…..you….." Alex pointed at her like he was pointing at a ghost "YOU GIGGLED HAILEY, YOU NEVER GIGGLE!" he said loud enough for only his table to hear.
Hailey smiled, resting her chin on her hand with elbow resting on the table staring at Alex "Well maybe someone made me giggle like a school girl?" those eyes of hers should be WMDs, with how much power they held over him.
He right now wishes his helmet was on to hide his tomato red face. He began to scratch the back of his head and look down at his plate forcing food down his mouth causing everyone else to laugh. Hailey just kept smiling even began twirling his hair between her index finger that grew slightly past his ears.
In Alex's mind: blank static. He absolutely shut down. Hailey's mind: She is atop of a old medieval castle planting her flag laughing like a mad women laughing at her conquest. Her smile grew slightly knowing the effect she had on him.
Tis and Natalie shared knowing smiles same with the only other pilots and grunts that associated with the trouble magnet of a team.
After finishing his food and trying to not die from the physical contact. He shot up, practically almost sprinted, to deposit his tray and head in the direction of the titan bay.
Hailey's face was a big smile, her eyes showed possessive qualities and a hunger that scared Tis and Natalie a little. Those two excused them selves and went to the armory. Hailey left the mess heading towards the Titan bay.
'Oh Alex, your gong to be mine' she thought planning everything out. 'Your caring nature is divine, your undying loyalty makes me feel like a queen, the trust you put in me makes your heart of gold shine' To the onlooker as she stalked towards Alex would be a predator hunting its prey.
Alex felt a shiver go up his spine as he set to get what happened earlier off his mind. So far his modifications to his Titan was heavier plating and electric smoke.
He suddenly felt pressure on his back, arms snake around his shoulders then crossing at his neck, and breathing onto of his head.
He knew EXACTLY who this was, no one gets this physical with him. "uhmmm….erm…hey….Hailey…" Alex said stuttering and beat red.
Hailey grinned taking in his scent from his hair, the feel of his skin, and purring from his embarrassment.
Alex stalled all process when he felt her 'purring'. He felt his tools leave his hands still frozen. He felt movement and breathing by his ear
"Alex…you must know this" he felt the air on his ear as she whispered into it. "You have done so…many things to me…" she purred into his ear as she turned hm around and corned him into his titan's leg.
"So tell me, Alex~" How she said it sent shivers down his spine "Are you willing to give us a try?" Her face wearing a 'innocent' smile yet the eye's screaming 'your mine'.
Alex gulped and began stammering. Hailey's smile turned into a possessive one. "You want there to be an us don't you?" Alex opens his mouth to atleast say something but nothing came from his brain that went on break.
"Cause, I can feel your heart beat when I speak, i see your eyes when i walk into a room, i notice your body relax when you're near me. I noticed every little thing about you change when I'm near" Hailey told him with a voice tinted with want. "Do not deny what you feel, let it go, let it grow, a queen always needs a King"
That broke him as his arms shot wrapping around her waist pulling her in as their lips met. Hailey's eyes snapped shut leaning into the kiss and moaning. Fireworks of ecstasy, lust, and possession surged with in her.
Alex, everything shut down. He knew it from the second he looked at her he felt this unconscious pull, the gravity she gave upon him called to him. His body reacted better then his mind.
His dreams knew before his mind. His subconscious knew before his mind did. Hell everything knew she was his and he was hers before HE EVEN MET HER!
So when she indirectly said the words i love you, he capitalized on it.
They came up for air, Alex's mind still on break but never letting go of her waist as Hailey's face had pure ecstasy written all over it and looked like she was coming off the best high in her life.
"Alex, i want us to work" she said losing her smile turning into a thin line near a frown as she began to see them eventually fighting. laying her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her face into his neck gripping some of the material on the sides. "I know I will try" he said as his arms encroached around her building the wall that she will always feel safe in.
Hailey Fall for once in her life smiled for a reason instead of putting one on for others. She has found her king…HER king. The sudden pressure and movement of her arms caused Alex to jump but settled down. Hailey moved her arms to properly hug him. She would KILL any whore who tried to get her man, kill any one trying to take him away from her, she was willing to kill gods to keep him.
Alex's over-protective streak he had reserved for his sister was the nearly the same as the feeling he felt now. She was her rock now, his sole reason for living, and he will be damned to let anyone or anything come between them.
Slightly pushing her away so he can see her face began wiping tears away "Your too good for tears, my queen" Hailey smiled slightly at what he said and moved one arm to wipe her tears but he beat her to it again.
"Don't Worry Hailey I promise you, I will be at your side through thick and then, thorough the worst or best of it all, i will kill for you" Alex said staring into her eyes wth conviction. She smiled for two reasons one was knowing she felt the same along with surges of happiness at each promise and the other.
The other being she had her King. Her conquest can begin now…but not right now she wanted to cultivate her love for him and the same from him.
His smile, she found it the only one she could love. His Hazel eyes pools of courage. His golden heart, her reason for going to war.
"Now my queen, May i make sure my weapon here" , gesturing to the titan, "Is up to your standards?" He asked with the smile she loves. "Yes my king and while your at it i will make sure I'm up too your standards in terms of combat" She smiled not wanted to seem like a damsel in need of his saving.
Although reluctantly, they let go of each other. "I will hold you to that" Alex said giving her a kiss on her forehead causing her to pout cutely. All she got from him was a ruffling of thy hair.
He returned to his titan's servicing now gearing it toward being a impenetrable shield and a sword capable of leveling mountains.
Cause lets be honest to our selves, Love causes people to do strange things. Alex's modifications are near breaching protocol when it comes to titan modifications but letting it slide if the results outweighed the operating cost.
Not that anyone cared. Alex set about detailing plans for the chaingun he requisitioned. Modifying the structure and internals to support firing rounds not suited for the chaingun. 20mm to 30mm rounds and fast firing mechanism.
So far it was a master piece to him. The titan's white turn into a gunmetal grey. A new set of optics integrated into hatch and the other optical unit removed. the armor of the shoulders went up further to cover the joints connecting he torso to the arms. Several extra pieces of armor covering exposed joints and servos on the legs.
All in all he likes the monster he created. Now no one will be able to top him now.
/\[V]/\
Alex loved his dreams. They were filled with weapon schematics, Hailey, Titan schematics, Family, and his optimistic prospects of his future. But some one decided his sleep a hindrance.
Groaning Alex opened his lead eyelids to see Tis waking him up. "You sleep like a fucking rock, get up we got a op to do. Hailey said its a big one, the whole IMC not just single team ops"
Alex groaned getting up. Stalking to his footlocker grabbing his fatigues and armor. He walked to the shared shower actually cleaning him self, putting on his armor once he stepped out and dried him self.
Walking out the room with Tis and Natalie, hearing their conversation in the back of his mind.
Nearing their goblin transport they saw Hailey ordering grunts signed to their team, roughly around 50-70, to gather their equipment and saddle up into their drop pods or goblins. Seeing her team visibly relaxed her.
"We're going to be late come on!" Hailey stated with authority they were used to.
After stepping on board, Alex sat on the floor facing the hatch on the side. Propping his arm on his knee staring at the clouded sky out the window he over heard some authoritative voice over the coms describing the op.
Something along the line son 'a colony' and testing out 'Spectres'. When the hatched open he saw the place in tatters and fire here and there along with mechanized infantry he saw designated as Spectres.
"Hey Natalie, think they are safe?" Alex heard Tis say to Natalie who visibly looked torn about seeing the Spectres. "I reserve my judgement" was all she said.
Getting a nudge on his left, He looked up to see Hailey's face in concern "I will be alright Hailey, I'm still here" Honestly he wished he could take his helmet off but in a war-zone that damn thing can save your life.
Getting up, he grabbed her hand giving a affectionate squeeze before letting go and jumping out. Hitting the ground running he took off to the right.
Hailey landed already ordering Tis to provide overwatch for Alex while herself and Natalie move left.
So far, this op was going to be a fucking doozy. With the Militia here either 'defending the colony' or on the hunt for something. Their team will make sure they die failing.
Welp, First story. Going to be fun, any reviews are welcome. After a few chapters I will be getting into RWBY territory. Actually I kinda have but thats not what I'm getting at. There will bound to be some grammatical or spelling errors I'm not no fucking english nazi. given i speak english as my only language.
Beyond that Alex's titan is modeled after the App game Titanfall Assault's Mortar ogre. so yay.
Also you have been forewarned, There will be triggering elements later on I will say it now. TRIGGERING ELEMENTS LATER ON. not gunna spoil what elements just expect them.
