Rubies, Junipers and Killjoys: A Grimm Situation
Hello, my name is EnriksD8 and this is my first fanfiction posted on this fine site. Also, this is also a way for me to pay respects to the late Monty Oum, who died on February 1, 2015. God bless his soul. Moving on, I'd also like to say check out Army of TWO if you are not familiar with the game itself. But enough about this author's note. *gets loudspeaker* RELEASE THE CHAPTER!
Synopsis: When three T.W.O. contractors were brought in to destroy a nuclear device, they weren't expecting a wormhole machine to send them and the head scientist to Remnant. The world of Remnant is taken by storm when these masked contractors are in town.
Note: Nikolai gets a small harem. Small, not OVERLY HUGE that's just ridiculous. Title changes every now and then.

-Origins-
The three operatives of Trans World Organization met up when Enrique Vasquez came back from another solo run when he stumbles upon two other contractors of T.W.O., Alpha and Bravo, were currently taking two young teens to the waiting room awaiting orders from the higher-ups. The young teens, Nikolai and Yuri, wanted to join T.W.O. for reasons unknown but the organization would not allow anyone under 19 to partake the dangerous life of a contractor unless they prove themselves. Ignoring the situation the boys were in, Enrique went inside the Kill-House to sharpen up, unaware that the boys had snuck in after him to observe the T.W.O. veteran in his training. When he was called in for another solo run, Nikolai and Yuri had snuck into the rear hold of his personal dropship. Having caught the teens red-handed, Enrique was tempted to send him back but was interrupted by the local cultist militia. The three fought side by side, and Smiley saw just how fast Nikolai and Yuri learned in the heat of battle. Smiley took care with the one half of the militia while the teens defeated the other half of the militia. After heading back to base, the two boys received a stern scolding from Rios, one of the founding members of T.W.O. But instead of sending the boy home as the others had seen it, Rios allowed Nikolai and Yuri to stay under Smiley's mentoring and under the codename Nexus and Yankee. The three's relationship with one another is similar to a father-and-two-sons relationship or a mentor-two-students one, and often their abilities in combat were polar opposites. Where Smiley would assault the enemy from mid to close range, Nexus would stay away and provide sniper support for his mentor and father-figure, and Yankee would be on the sidelines, surprising enemies with a quick blast of buckshot before disappearing. Fast-forward three years later on, Nexus and Yuri have both reached one of the highest rankings at the youngest ages in all of T.W.O.'s operatives/contractors. And as such, Nikolai and Yuri were held in high regards with most of the TWO operatives, even with the veterans.
"Let me tell you a story, my dear child, about legends… Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the old deeds of heroes and villains… forgetting so easily that we are shards. Remnants. Byproducts of a past long forgotten by even the oldest of men and women." A motherly voice began. It shows a clock tower in all its glory, with emerald shards making the light touching the tower dance around.
"When The Creator made the human race, he didn't settle for one world. No, no. He settled for two. One world was filled with sadness and despair over the past few thousand years. And the other has thrived in peace." The motherly voice continued. It showed two worlds, both the same in size, shape and diversity.
"One of these worlds was called Strangerealm, filled with odd beasts such as dinosaurs and whales. But the people of that world called it a more simple name. Noting that most of them live on the earth rather than the sea, it became fitting that they called their home world Gaia, meaning 'Earth' in their ancient language." The voice seemed to giggle at the thought. It shows Strangerealm's people in a cave-painting style of art, all happily living together.
"But then, tragedy struck. One group had attacked another in a primitive sense of territory. And then, slowly but surely, mankind had become distant to one another, forming countries of their own. In the course of thirty thousand years, Strangerealm now has one hundred and ninety three countries. So many countries, all so distant from one another." The voice seems to have stopped for a bit, as if she dreaded something. It showed one tribe attacking another. It then shows groups of people, going away from one another, represented by arrows. Then, multiple markings, each bearing the name of a country, appeared on the map of Strangerealm.
"But most of our story begins in the other world, in which The Creator called 'Remnant' as it is the mere remnants of its love for its creations. Around the same time as Strangerealm, man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful. And he had to be. Here, man was also flung into an unforgiving world." The voice grew dark. It showed a being covered in a bluish white light, watching Remnant, before turning its head towards a dark entity.
"The Creator's mortal enemy, The Harbinger, had caused both grief and sorrow for Strangerealm." The dark entity, sporting black, liquid-like and clawed wings, flew towards Remnant, with its mortal enemy close behind. The Creator juts out its hand, causing The Harbinger to crash straight into the ground, causing black goop to fly in all directions.
"The Harbinger, true to its name, brought out the Grimm to destroy all the humans in this world." The voice spoke sadly.
"Quickly, The Creator united all of the humans and his personal makes, the Seraphs, to combat the coming darkness that is The Harbinger and the creatures of Grimm. And it seemed… that The Harbinger and its forces were ill intent on destroying everything The Creator had made, and shunning it all back into an eternal void." It showed The Harbinger pointing out into the distance, with the Grimm quickly following its orders, howling, hissing, screeching, or squawking.
"However, as if it were a miracle, The Creator and his creations had made a new power for Remnant's mankind to use against the dark forces of The Harbinger. And when mankind discovered this, his passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds in their favor. Appropriately, this was named 'Dust'." The voice continued. It now shows man discovering a crystal of sorts, sparkling elements.
"The Harbinger, fearful of the newfound strength mankind now has, quickly amassed all of his dark creations and began to assault mankind full force. But in the end, it failed. The Creator's forces were too powerful now…" The voice seems happy about this, and seems to be trailing off.
"With The Creator's wrath in hand, mankind fought and lit their way through the darkness… And in the shadow's absence, came strength… and through strength, arose nations. But most importantly… life." It now shows a castle centered in one of the continents proudly with a flag on top. Three other castles, stationed in the three other continents, shined brightly just as much as the first one.
"But even the most brilliant of lights flicker and die…" The voice spoke sadly.
"And when they are gone… darkness will return… So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called free world… But take heed… there will be no victory in strength…" The motherly voice spoke grimly.
"But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten." A fatherly voice replied to the motherly one.
"Things that require a smaller, more honest soul…" The fatherly voice finished.
"I will not argue with you there… but… the story starts in Strangerealm…"
-Chapter 1: Ain't on Earth Anymore-
-Somewhere in Italy-
Currently, the three T.W.O. operatives were cleaning up an abandoned town. And by cleaning up, it actually means eliminating any hostile in the area. Their mission is to clear the town of the local militia and head for the factory that the supposed target resides. So the two prepared themselves with the perfect load out for this mission, and entered via Smiley's personal dropship meant for rapid exfiltrations, evacuations, extractions, deployments, transport, and even ambush tactics.
The two were doing their standard routine, one goes in to take on the majority while the other stays back and snipe down the rest. Nexus was busy sniping with his M107CQ from a building while Smiley guns down any hostile with his AA-12 on foot and Yankee was busy clearing the tight spots for any ambushers. The three were taking care of the hostile force like nothing. A few felt really brave (or really stupid) trying to knife the muscle mountain that is Smiley, only to be cut down by his custom kukris or his custom bayonet like knives through butter. Beheading some and stabbing the others through the heart, Smiley swaps to his Desert Eagles and began placing well-placed, accurate shots on those that tried closing the distance. Mid-reload, he turns around to see an enemy soldier with a hole in his head.
"Nice shooting, kid! You're getting better at sniping." Smiley said through his radio. "Thanks, boss. Appreciate that." Nexus replied back. After getting rid of thee remaining hostiles, Smiley radioed Nexus and Yankee in.
"Meet me at the square. From there on out, we head to the factory, got that rookies?"
"Yeah, we got it. AND STOP CALLING US ROOKIES!" Nexus and Yankee shouted the last part; they hated, no, loathed being called a rookie just because of their age. Smiley, on the other hand, covered his ears in pain due to his radio being literally next to his ears.
"Damnit, you two! Are you trying to murder me through sound?!" He yelled back at his apprentices. The radio buzzed on to life again "Maybe." Out came the response of Yankee. Smiley shook his head before heading into the town square, shotgun ready in case of hostiles coming out.
After reaching the square, Smiley found Nexus and Yankee waiting for him, AK-103 and SPAS 12 in their hands, respectively.
"Took the scenic route? Come on. Let's go!" and with that, Yankee cautiously ran for the factory, with Smiley catching up while Nexus followed behind. Passing by a few destroyed houses and broken down vehicles, the duo came up a small hill that overlooks their target, the factory. "There it is." Smiley began; looking at his apprentices
"Ready?" his response was Nexus and Yankees reloading their M107CQ and SPAS 12, prompting him to do the same with his AA-12.
"Let's go, boss! We're burning nightlight!" Yankee requested as he readies up his shotgun while Smiley looks at the factory with his binoculars.
Looking through his binoculars, Smiley saw that the guards were lightly armored and lightly armed with only MP5A5 sub machineguns and M16A4 assault rifles, with few armed with Mk. 14 marksman rifles and even a few Saiga 12 shotguns. He radios Nexus and said.
"They're lightly armed. Don't waste any rounds, knives only." And that's when Nexus grinned underneath his mask, slinging his M107CQ over his back and brings out his wakizashi. Smiley brings out his twin bowie knives custom made by himself. Yankee brought out his good old wakizashi that a friend made for him.
The three then head into the factory through the sewage system they found by the side of the factory.
"Ugh! I fucking hate sewers!" Yankee pouted in annoyance under his mask. Smiley shook his head, somehow knowing this would be what one of his apprentices would say. "Keep it down, kid. There might be patrols here." he ordered the European boy who immediately shut up after hearing his mentor's tone. After trekking through what seemed to be hours for Yankee, minutes for Nexus, and seconds for Smiley, they finally got to their objective.
'Apparently, these fucks constructed their factory above the ruins of the old sewage treatment plant. Rather stinky if you ask me.' Nexus noted humorously at the thought. Getting behind cover, he sees two guards by the factory's back entrance.
'Hm, they're armed with M4s and Remington 870s. This is too damn easy for us.' Smiley then motions Nexus and Yankee to target one guard while he watches for any other distant enemies. They both ready their blades and stealthily approach the guards from the rear.
With the guards, they weren't aware of their impending deaths.
"So Frank, you, uh, catch that game yesterday?" one of them asked the other.
"Not really, Butch. Heard that the Bulls beat the Falcons from Mark. That true?" Frank asked Butch. No response.
"You there, Butch?" he asks again, and no response like last time. Suddenly, an armored glove covered his mouth and soon felt a large blade slash his neck at an impossible speed. The now dead guard sports a look of shock on his face as his killer throws the lifeless body next to another guard. Yankee got rid of the blood on his short sword with a single flick of the blade. He looks at Nexus, who had just finished hiding the bodies, and says "Do your thing, bro." As he replaces his wakizashi for his M1911 with a suppressor as he knows the importance for stealth in this one. One can never be too sure if there are lurking heavy grunts and he'd rather fight them later than earlier. Picking up the unsaid hint, Nexus puts a suppressor on his AK-103 replacing the muzzle brake whilst Smiley replaced the compensators of his Desert Eagles' and replaced them with suppressors specially made for his two handcannons.
After Nexus picked the lock and opened the door, he, his brother and Smiley quickly head in. They aimed their suppressed guns at multiple directions as the advanced towards the testing area. Taking out a majority of the stationed soldiers with relative ease through stealth, the trio came up on the testing chamber and readied up. Replacing their suppressors with their previous barrel attachments, the three contractors quietly entered, not wanting to lose the element of surprise. The three operatives of T.W.O. (ironic, ain't it?) saw what appears to be the head scientist along with a few engineers and other scientists on the upper platform next to a rather large… turbine? The contractors decide to listen in on the group on the floor above for info.
Above, the head scientist was receiving good news regarding his machine. "Currently, the machine's power levels have been increased greatly. It'll take little time but in a matter of minutes, we will have access to other dimensions, sir." One of the engineers told her the news. And she smiled upon hearing that.
"Good, how long until at maximum power?" he spoke.
"Estimated time of completion is about half an hour, sir." The engineer replied.
His smile lowered, but not his expression "Good… Now about our unexpected guests…" and, in a blink of an eye, he produced an M9A1 pistol from his lab coat and shot at the T.W.O. operatives underneath him.
Rapidly dodging the 9x19mm rounds fired upon them, Smiley, Nexus and Yankee aimed their sidearms at the scientist and fired back with a few .50AE, .44 Magnum, and .45 ACP rounds respectively. The other scientists and engineers hurriedly ran towards the elevators while the head scientist produces in her other hand a remote-like object and pressed the button. Apparently, it was the remote to both the alarms AND the mechanism underneath the large machine.
"Damnit, he's getting away!"
"Nexus, no!" Smiley yelled in vain as the young operative chased after the head scientist. He turns his head to Yankee and began.
"Yankee, I want you to get your brother out of this m-" but he saw no one else beside him. He looks to his rear side and saw Yankee taking another unorthodox route after his older brother. But before he could even chase after the two, Smiley saw multiple soldiers coming out of every corner. He looks at his guns and sees plentiful ammunition for each gun. Acting quickly, he pulls out his MG36 and rapidly fires at the oncoming soldiers, hitting each with deadly pinpoint accuracy. Reloading his machinegun and flicking the selector switch to full-auto, he lets loose at the oncoming group and strafes by every bullet thrown at him. After reloading his rifle, he switches to his AA-12 and began blasting slug after slug at the remaining few. Turning around hearing some heavy footsteps, he sees two heavy grunts heading for him, their M134 Miniguns spooling up their barrels, ready to rip apart the T.W.O. veteran to shreds.
Carefully and calmly, he aims down the iron sights, takes in a deep breath, and fires the remaining slugs at the heavies, particularly the facial area. Slowly but surely, he blew their heads one by one and watches as their headless bodies crash into the floor with an audible bang. Replacing his empty drum for a full one, he holsters his shotgun and picks up one of the two dropped Miniguns of the dead heavy grunts. With Hercules-like/Samson-like strength, he heaves the six-barreled machinegun with relative ease. He checks the ammunition counter installed on the gun and it read 571 rounds of 7.62x51mm rounds left. Smiling at his luck, he takes the ammunition belt of the other M134 and bolstered the ammunition count to 1361 rounds. He proceeds to run after Nexus, but instantly remembered when lugging a big turret around, you're bound to be sluggish in movement. Sighing to himself, Smiley runs slowly in the direction of the machine.
'Jesus Christ. Those kids better be alive when I find them.' He thought as he slowly ran through the large corridor meant for the machine to pass through.
Around the same time, Nexus was busy chasing the head scientist when the scientist evaded him and disappeared. Luckily, he found him again as he was suddenly on the top deck of the actual testing area. And lo and behold! The head scientist had begun to activate the machine, just as Smiley and Yankee arrived, guns blazing. "Stop them before they destroy the machine!" he said as he frantically took cover behind the armored sections of the top deck. All the surrounding soldiers immediately readied their guns and started shooting back at the T.W.O. agents. Nexus began to take down the more distant and less-pack grunts while Smiley mowed down everyone from below long-range with surprisingly accurate fire, especially one from a minigun, and Yankee jumped around like a wild man blasting a few buckshot rounds here and there. As the three operatives began two head towards the machine with one single thought in their minds, 'Shut that fucking thing down!' The three grabbed their main guns (Smiley dropped the M134 when it ran out of ammo AFTER the big gunfight ended) and began to search the area.
Meanwhile, the head scientist was behind the machine rigging it to transport itself and him to wherever he wanted. Just as he started the countdown, he felt the barrel of a large gun on his spine.
*BLAM! BLAM!*
The head scientist slumped to the ground, two large bullet holes in his head and chest indicating how he died. With their target dead, Smiley reached into his mask's earpiece and spoke.
"Command, this is Operative Smiley. Target down, awaiting further orders." A slight delay, but command answered a few seconds later.
"Roger that, Smiley. Good work. Now you need to bring back the machine to the RV point A.S.A.P." Nodding, the private contractor turned off his comm link and relayed the order to the two teen operators.
-Hours later, T.W.O. Base, Location Classified-
Right now, the three mercenaries were walking down the hall to a friend of theirs. Walking through the sliding doors, they saw the person they were looking for examining the machine they had brought in.
Slim body shape as a result from starving herself a little bit and strenuous training, pale/platinum hair that is in a bun, with some stray locks enhancing her face which, in all fairness, was pure beauty with those turquoise eyes. Her outfit was no different from any other scientist, although there was a chest rig holster for her M9A1 pistol. She wore a white lab coat, dark colored pants that hugged her legs, low heeled shoes and an orange under shirt with a family locket and pendant that sits on her chest nicely.
"Hey, Luna!" Nexus greeted curtly, making the teen scientist to look at him. This is Luna Felicia Garnet, currently T.W.O.'s youngest scientist at 18 years old and a close friend to Nexus and Yankee. Like the two, she's an orphan, no mother or father to care for her. Also like them, Smiley took her in three years ago out of pity and in seeing potential in the girl.
"NIKOLAI!" Without warning, she immediately threw her arms around the Russian teen, making said teen nearly loose his balance.
She called him by his real name, a trait she has showed every now and then when speaking to people. "Enrique," The aged mercenary nodded at the girl's politeness. "Yuri, pleased to see you all again."
"Uh, Luna?"
"Yes, Nikolai?"
"Can you, uh, let go of me now?" Seeing that she was still wrapping her arms around him, the girl blushed and quickly removed them from Nexus's neck, a heavy blush tainting her cheeks.
Shaking his head at the girl's antics, the adult mercenary spoke up.
"What the hell did we bring home today, doc?"
Turning to the machine, Luna cleared her throat and began to explain what it was whilst tapping away on her iPad.
"W-we-well, uhm... the machine you brought back to HQ is what appears to be a transdimensional rift teleporter." Looking back, she saw Smiley nodding in understanding while the two brothers simply scratched their heads in confusion. Sighing in annoyance, Luna elaborated in a simpler form.
"It's pretty much a Space Bridge from the Transformers cartoons." More confusion from the brothers. Sighing again and with utter frustration, she exclaimed.
"IT'S A PORTAL TO OTHER WORLDS, YA DANG MUTTS!" The brothers simply nodded in understanding.
"Ooooooh... Still don't understand it." Luna face-vaulted at Yankee's response.
"OH FOR FUCK'S SA-!" Luna was interrupted by Nexus hugging her out of the blue. "It's okay, it's okay, Yuri's just messing with ya." Nodding into his chest, Luna sighed in bliss this time, loving that leather on his jacket.
Now for the machine, the concept Luna had explained to them bothered the T.W.O. contractors.
'HQ said it was a nuclear, possibly hydrogen device! What the hell is going on?' Smiley narrowed his eyes behind his ballistic mask, trying to figure out exactly what was the point. Dimensional travel was considered a myth, complete and utter fiction as long as the concept had existed.
Yankee on the other hand, 'Dimension hopping? This is so freaking sweet!' He started to ask a few questions.
"Is this gonna teleport us to where we want?" he asked as Nexus merely rolled his eyes under his mask.
The scientist countered in annoyance. "That is impossible, Yuri! Such a thing only exists in fiction." but inside, she was giddy at the thought of dimensional travel.
"So," Smiley spoke up, gaining the three's attention. "What happens now? We just get rid of it?" Luna shook her head.
"No, this is a far too precious machine! The countdown that the head scientist had started is already down to its final moments."
On cue, the entire facility shook, which caused the three contractors to quickly aim their guns all over the place. The facility lights started flickering on and off at slow paces, and the surrounding pipes began bursting out steam and whatever was in the other pipes. Then, they heard rumbling. Nikolai, Enrique Vasquez/Smiley, and Luna all whipped their heads towards the machine that glowed in an eerie blue color.
"Shit! The machine's malfunctioning!"
"No shit, kid! What's happening, kid?"
"The machine's set to teleport anything within this room to the coordinates! A-and I don't know where I set them! It could be somewhere in the Pacific for all I know!"
"Aw shit!" Nexus swore as the facility room around the three started glowing bright blue as various objects started floating. Then, they too started to float and began glowing bright blue. "AW, to hell with this!" Yankee readied his M16A3 and unloaded the remaining 5.56x45mm rounds left in his magazine, which caused the machine to spark up and cause a large wormhole. "Yuri, why?!" Nexus yelled at his brother as all four of them began getting sucked up into the wormhole. "I had no other option and didn't know what to do!" the younger T.W.O. agent yelled back.
"OH SHIIIIIIT!" The three contractors and one scientist all yelled as the wormhole sucked them up whole. The machine began to collapse on the wormhole and brought the entire room down with it. And it left little to no trace of its existence.
-Elsewhere, in another world on the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, Vale City, Remnant, nighttime-
Nothingness. That's what they saw. Nothing for miles and miles, before the world seemed to form around them. Readjusting their eyesight, they find themselves in an alleyway, with the streets just a few steps away.
Smiley looks at the disoriented teens, "Let's go this way. *to Nexus* and no open arms, sidearms only, concealed carry, got it? *To Yankee* No Yankee-shit, got that?" the boys nodded.
Smiley glances at Luna, "Stay close Luna."
She looks at him and nodded. That's when Smiley looked up and saw the moon. It was fine in a way, until you see a fourth of it destroyed and its pieces still floating in space.
"Well shit! How'd that happen?" was all that came out of his mouth.
After reacquainting themselves, they got out of the alleyway and saw a few people giving them odd looks. But those looks were replaced by fear when another group of people walked down the streets. These people were dressed in dark gray three-piece suits with equally dark gray fedoras and blood-red tinted glasses, all surrounding a man with orange hair and a white suit with a black bowler hat. They were thugs most likely as they entered a store that says 'From Dust Till Dawn'.
A few thugs stayed behind and guarded the shop's entrance. Turning to the younger operatives and the scientist, Smiley spoke. "We go in loud and proud, or silent and deadly?" "Loud and proud!" Yankee exclaimed, which caused the thugs guarding the outside entrance to turn their heads to them.
"Oops" "Shit! Melee only." With that, Smiley ran like a madman and pulled out his kukris. Following the older operative's lead, Nexus and Yankee pulled out their wakizashis and went in swords swinging.
With Smiley, he took on the majority of the thugs outside, slicing their necks open and gutting their stomachs with his blades. One tried to shoot him, but the man was silenced quickly with a swift blade throw to the forehead.
With Nexus and Yankee, the brothers tag-teamed the rest of the thugs with their blades. Slicing them apart, they quickly killed off the thugs that tried to stop them.
Luna had watched from the sidelines, eyes wide behind her glasses. Clutching her hands around her M9A1's grip, she prepared herself to fight.
-Around the same time, inside the shop-
The man in the bowler hat is known as Roman Torchwick, one of the most cunning criminals of all of Vale. In fact, Torchwick's so cunning; he's eccentric in whatever he does. Currently, he and his goons were holding up the shop owner. Torchwick stops smoking for a bit to speak.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late?" he asks in a suave as one of his goons' aims a laser pistol of sorts at the frail old man.
"P-please! Just take my Lien and leave." But Torchwick shushed him.
"Calm down. We're not here for your money." He gave a fake smile before saying to his goons, "Grab the Dust." One of the men placed down an odd-looking case and opened it up as the other goons started siphoning the colored tubes of their Dust; an odd substance that's like oil, but much safer and no-one's fighting over it. One of the henchmen said to the shop owner.
"Crystals" and he complied by placing the differently shaped and colored crystals into the box "Burn. Uncut" As one of the henchmen started looking around for any customers that are still inside, he found a short, petite girl whose features are concealed behind a red cloak. He unsheathed his blade and said
"Alright kid, put your hands where I can see 'em." But the girl paid no heed and continued reading the magazine that she was holding. He was starting to get annoyed and approached her.
"Hey, I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something?!" he forcibly turned her around, revealing her features a little bit more. Dark maroon hair that got lighter towards the tips that hugged her face giving it a heart shape, silver eyes, and she was wearing headphones.
"Huh?" she was confused as to why this man interrupted her reading. The man points to his ear, signaling her about her headphones, which she took off to hear him out.
"Yes?" she asks, completely oblivious to the robbery around her.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!"
The girl realizes the situation and asks a bit more "Are you… robbing me?"
"Yes!" the henchman says louder in agitated.
"Oh" was all she said before getting into a fighter stance.
"Hey-"the goon was cut off by the girl who kicked him straight into the door. Torchwick merely motions his head towards the girl, letting the goons gang-up on her. "Freeze!" one of the goons say as he pulls out his laser pistol at her.
-Outside-
The goon was kicked out through one of the shop windows with the girl following as she kicked him with both her feet. Smiley, Nexus, Yankee, and Luna were surprised at the sudden event. What surprised them even more was as the girl stood up, the rectangular case she was holding turned into a SCYTHE! Roman Torchwick was glaring at the little girl as she glanced at him and smiled before twirling her scythe a couple of times before impaling it to the ground and turning off her cassette player.
Roman was confused before saying "Okay…" he looks at his goons and said to them.
"Get her! And those witnesses too!" he was clearly referring to the four newcomers. One of the goons tried to slash the girl, only for her to jump while holding onto her scythe whilst it's still impaled to the ground. She then kicks him with both her legs, sending him flying back into the store. Two more goons tried to get her from behind, but she noticed them and attacked them with the blunt part of her scythe (the non-bladed part), knocking one to the air while knocking the other down to the ground.
One goon aimed his gun at her. She was about to dodge when a bullet whipped past her and drilled through the man's skull, splattering blood on the glass behind him. The girl in red turns to see who shot him and saw a boy around her age, maybe older as he was taller than her by a few inches and wore a mask that depicted a rather serene image that is currently lifted up to reveal his face, which the girl blushed a healthy red before snapping back to reality. His revolver was well-ornate, and its barrel was still smoking! She then dodges a flurry of bullets from another goon with, what surprised the four non-Remnant beings, her Speed Semblance as she began to smack the goon away. Another goon tried to attack, but he was shot by a massive slug to the chest, spilling blood on the ground as he slumps down dead. Looking at the source and the girl found a large man holding a massive rifle with a morbidly disturbing mask that depicts a demonic smile with black eyeholes. His overall appearance made her shiver in fright. She notices another boy next to the other wearing only a blue shirt, black cargo pants, white sneakers, and body armor. He looked the least frightening and the most normal out of the bunch. Then she notices a girl about her age dressed in a lab coat watching the entire fight. She hears another goon attacking followed by another deafening gunshot. She sees the boy in the casual outfit holding a shotgun with its barrel smoking.
"Don't just stand there. Get your rear in gear and get back to the fight!" the man with the morbidly disturbing mask shouted as she refocused on the current situation she and the others were in.
Quickly moving, Smiley shot one more goon before stabbing another with his AA-12 shotgun's bayonet. One thug/goon snuck behind him, only to be shot by Nexus's Raging Bulls. Yankee knocked down many thugs with the butt-stock of his SPAS-12 before shooting them all in the face with tightly clustered packs of buckshot lead.
Luna quickly aimed her pistol at a thug about to slam his sword down on Nexus. Pulling the trigger and hearing the handgun go off; she quickly shot down the thug with a well-aimed shot.
The girl in red then smacks another goon down mid-air right in front of Roman Torchwick.
He said "You were worth every cent, truly you were."
He took out his cigar and said "Well, Red and company, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening *crushes the cigar with his cane * and as much as I'd love to stick around…" he aims his cane at them like a gun, confusing the three allies of 'Red' for now, until its bottom flipped up to reveal a sight
"I'm afraid this is where we part ways."
And he shoots out a projectile reminiscent of that of a Roman candle. 'Red' brought up her scythe and jumped in time while Nexus, Yankee, and Smiley rolled out of the way, the projectile throwing up some cement along the way. 'Red' came back down as she tried to find any sign of Torchwick only to find him nowhere to be found. Smiley then heard the sound of someone climbing a metal ladder and saw Torchwick climbing towards the top of the building that the ladder was installed to. He aims his AA-12 and shot a few rounds, but due to the fact he was better with no optics on his shotgun, and instead use iron sights, most of his slugs merely hit the side of the building and parts of the ladder.
"Where do you think you're going?!" he lets out with a snarl as Torchwick simply picked up the pace of his escape. 'Red', Yankee and Nexus looked at him and saw what he was shooting at. 'Red' looks at the shop owner and asks "You okay if we go after him?"
"Uh huh" he manages to say. 'Red' runs off, aiming her scythe to the ground and, to the surprise of the four newcomers (Smiley, Nexus, Yankee and Luna), launches herself onto the roof. Shaking off their surprise, three of the four began following her lead and began to use their blades to rapidly scale the side of the building.
'Red' looks over to Torchwick and let out a "Hey!" to stop him in his tracks, just as Yankee, Smiley and Nexus came up. Torchwick did stop in his tracks.
"Persistent…" then, they heard an aircraft approaching. 'Red', Nexus, Yankee and Smiley all readied themselves as an aircraft resembling an Osprey sans the helicopter blades rise from the other side of the building. The aircrafts' lights shined upon them, blinding 'Red' whilst the two allies of hers merely shielded their eyes while keeping their guns trained on the unknown craft. Torchwick gets into the craft and produces a red crystal from his sleeves.
"End of the line, kids!" he throws the crystal at the nearest one, 'Red', before shooting it with his cane gun. But before the attack could end the girl, someone intervened and reflected the attack into the night sky.
"Whoa-ho-ho!" Torchwick celebrated before he sees what happened. He snarls as he sees a purple magic circle appeared in front of the four people.
Smiley got a good look at their savior and noted her features. Her figure was stiff but controlled with her riding crop which she's holding like a wand, blonde hair wrapped up neatly into a bun, green eyes behind some librarians' glasses, a white shirt, a dark grey pencil skirt, and black skintight pants. A cape billowed behind her dramatically, with her ears sporting teal-green earrings, and a permanent scowl on her face. She dispelled her magic circle as 'Red' looked on in awe. The blonde woman then made a horizontal slash motion with her riding crop, sending 8 purple bolts of energy at the aircraft, each one striking it with deadly accuracy. Snapping out of his assessment, Smiley started to shoot some more 12 Gauge slugs before reloading his AA-12 whilst Nexus began blasting away the remaining 7.62x39mm rounds left in his AK-103's drum before reloading, while Yankee fired out a 40mm grenade from his rail mounted M203, hitting the Osprey-esque aircraft.
Inside the aircraft, Torchwick was stumbling around due to the impacts the energy bolts and bullets made in their wake. Luckily, he was able to make his way to the pilot, a woman wearing a crystal red dress with golden decorations, and said "We got a Huntress alongside those mercs!" The pilot got off her seat, which Torchwick got in to stabilized the aircraft.
The blonde huntress charged up a big bolt of energy and fired it above the Osprey-esque aircraft, summoning a group of dark storm clouds above it. Torchwick looked around in a confused manner.
"The hell?"
The blonde huntress then sent a large group of hail at the aircraft, causing it to shake a little, some shards of ice impaling the wings. Roman Torchwick barely avoided one stray shard that impaled itself to the pilot's seat. Then woman from before stepped onto the open doorway, looked at her opponents, and prepared to attack to group on top of the roof. The blonde huntress narrowed her eyes at the woman as she summoned a fireball and sent it towards the huntress and the four people behind her. The huntress blocked it with another purple magic circle (Smiley and Nexus decided to ignore that there's magic for the time being and focused on the task at hand while Yankee was awestruck), with some of the magma-bits splashing onto the floor behind her. The woman on the aircraft flicked her arm upwards, and the blonde huntress looked down to see the bits of magma glowing brightly. The huntress back flipped out of the way and landed on her feet. She brought up her riding crop again and this time it stopped the debris from getting anywhere. She thrust her arm forward and spun her riding crop. The debris began forming a spear. Once it was done, she sent the spear towards the aircraft in a fast speed. The women in the crystal red dress started to shoot bolts of fire at the oncoming spear. It destroyed the spear, only for it to reform and continues its path. Roman sees the spear incoming and tilts the aircraft so it would only scratch the aircraft and deflect it into the night sky. The huntress split the spear into three and, with a motion of her wrists, made them snake around the aircraft. The women on the craft summoned up a bigger fire attack than before and it easily destroyed the spears completely. The blonde huntress and 'Red' could only look on while Smiley, Nexus and Yankee continued shooting the engines of the aircraft.
Roman yells to the woman "If those three mercenaries keep this up, the Bullhead will crash!" and she did something about their problem. She was about to send a wave of fire at the three masked men, but a gloved hand grasping her shoulder caused her to stiffen.
"Stand down." The voice, though muffled by a mask, was clear. The young woman hesitated for a brief moment, but she quickly complied to the mysterious individual's order, stepping back into the shadows of the aircraft and into the cockpit next to Torchwick. Nodding at the woman's compliance, the figure stepped into the open side of the aircraft, brandishing a large tubular object. That object was a...
"SMAW!" Goddammit Yankee, stop stealing me lines! Anyways, the figure aimed at the people at the roof below them and pulled the trigger.
"Shit! Everyone scatter!" The two females with them had different reactions. 'Red' immediately complied and dodged just as the rocket left the SMAW's barrel with a loud thunderous sound, while the woman with the riding crop narrowed her eyes at Smiley's order before sighing and jumping back a good distance.
Yankee practically jumped over the rocket just as it was near him, while Smiley rolled away from the rocket and it's inevitable blast radius.
Nexus dodged hard right, crashing right into 'Red' in the process. "OOF!" the two were sent tumbling into the cold, hard concrete roof; one on top of the other. Nexus groaned as he tried to get up, only for something to keep him down. As he looks for the source of the thing keeping him down, his eyes widened from behind his mask.
There 'Red' was, lying on top of him, face buried in his chest, hands on each side next to his head, and legs straddling his waist. 'Red's' eyes were closed tightly shut, but they slowly opened to lock her own set of eyes with Nexus's own eyes.
Something in Nexus's chest clenched when he locked eyes with the girl in the red cloak. The embers in the air seemed to make her more beautiful in this kind of lighting. And those silver eyes of hers were very captivating, reflecting the light from the fiery embers while her cheeks were tinted with a slight pink color.
"KYA!" 'Red' yelped as she quickly got off the man. Blinking twice, Nexus quickly got up, and 'Red' can see the difference in height. Where she was 5'2", he was 6'4". More than a full foot taller than her. She pouted at their difference in height, but warmly smiled at the masked man.
With Smiley, he had gotten up quickly and immediately glared at the open side of the aircraft. More specifically, the figure that fired the rocket at them. He could barely make out the figure's build, although he can clearly see that it was physically fit. The shadow of the beret and the figure's body armor made it clear that they were a hired mercenary, just like him and the two boys. Still, he can't help but shake off the fact that the figure was familiar.
But before his train of thought can continue, Luna had just got up onto the roof when the fighting subsided, clearly tired from climbing the ladder. As she approached the three mercenaries, she screamed.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU THREE DOLTS LEFT ME!" her voice caused 'Red' to cringe and hold her ears, while the Prozodnikov brothers backed away slightly. And Smiley and the blonde huntress merely remained unfazed at the sudden outburst and focused for the time being. The moment the teens on the roof calmed down, 'Red' looks at the blonde huntress.
"You're a huntress." the huntress merely glanced her way. 'Red' got giddy and asked "Can I have your autograph?" the other teens merely face vaulted at her question while Smiley slapped himself on the forehead in disbelief, which made an audible noise that was heard for quite a distance.
-Some time later-
Currently, 'Red', Nexus, Yankee, Luna, and Smiley were sitting down on a table. 'Red' had a shameful look on her face, Nexus kept a straight face alongside Smiley although he was starting to break, while Yankee had the biggest grin on his face and Luna paid attention to what the blonde woman was saying. She was walking around the group in a circular fashion.
"I hope you all realized that your actions tonight will not be tolerated lightly. You put yourselves and others in grave danger." Nexus merely rolled his eyes beneath his mask while 'Red' countered "They started it!" childishly. Yankee brought his fist down to the table.
The woman just ignored the action and continued "If it were up to me, you'd all be sent home…" she stops walking as she was looking at a portable holographic screen, "with a pat on the back." 'Red' and Luna's faces beamed with joy, until the woman looked at them.
"And a slap on the wrist." She says before striking her riding crop right next to 'Red's' hand, causing her and Luna to let out a noise in surprise. Then the woman continued.
"But… there is someone here who would like to meet one of you. However, the rest cannot leave." That's when 'Red' and Luna calmed down and were confused, mostly 'Red'.
Then, a gray-haired man wearing a dark green coat with a moderately green scarf came into the room, holding in one and a plate filled with cookies and in the other a coffee mug.
"Ruby Rose…" he was talking to 'Red', who perked up and looked at him. The man walked up in front of the others and continued.
"You …" he leaned in to get a closer look "have silver eyes…" his statement caused the other teens to look in confusion while Ruby Rose was awkwardly finding the right words to not anger the man before her.
"U-um…" but she stopped as the man spoke again.
"So! Where did you learn to do this?" he motions his head to the screen that the woman was holding which showcased Ruby fighting the goons while the three mercenaries killed one for each of them. Ruby answered shyly.
"S-Signal Academy." The man continued "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" then Ruby corrected "Well, one teacher in particular."
As she said this, Nexus thought, 'Who the hell would teach a kid to use a scythe like that, the Grim Reaper?' while Smiley merely looked on while watching the woman accompanying the man, sharpening his kukris.
"I see…" he sets down the plate of cookies in front of Luna and Ruby, who cautiously reached out to the pastries. The two girls took one and bit down on their cookies, before they started gobbling their shares of cookies. Yankee scooted away, 'Last time I tried to get some, a girl tried to chomp my hand off.'
While Nexus and Smiley simultaneously thought Golden Rule #2, 'Never ask a female about their weight and sizes.'
The man in the dark green suit continued "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow…" Ruby made a sound and her words came out muffled.
"Dash muh unkul!" That caused the man to raise an eyebrow. Ruby gulped down the cookie she was eating and this time her words came out clearly.
"Sorry, that's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal! I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like-"she then made some Kung-Fu noises to emphasize her point, even doing a few arm chops here and there.
The man merely smiled and said "So I've noticed." He sets down his coffee mug and sat down, asking her a simple question.
"And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" that got Smiley's interest as he leaned forward.
"I'd like to know as well. Not every day you see a girl running around with a scythe that can transform." And he ignored the blonde woman's glare sent directly at him. If looks could kill, Smiley would be down in Hell making deals with the Devil himself.
Ruby answered with complete honesty. "Well… I want to be a Huntress."
Smiley pressed on for the man "You want to slay monsters, kid? Shit's harder than it looks in real life." While the man merely acknowledged the sudden intrusion by the mercenary with a sip from his coffee mug, the blonde huntress was ready to strike him with her riding crop for his rudeness, and Ruby was getting nervous at the close proximity with such a morbid mask.
"Yeah" Ruby said excitedly to shake off her fear before continuing on with her reason, "I only have two more years of training back at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" she then explained further.
"You see, my sister's starting this year, and she's trying to be a Huntress, and I'm trying to be a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, 'Hey, I might as well make a career out of it!'" she nervously laughed before going on.
"I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so romantic and exciting!" that's when she couldn't speak anymore as she couldn't find the words to describe her excitement. The blonde woman and Smiley merely looked at her weirdly, while the man in the coat asked, "Do you know who I am?" in a calm demeanor.
Ruby looked at him and answered "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster of Beacon Academy."
That was when Nexus, Luna and Yankee gave looks of shock; they were not expecting that at all. They thought he was from the government. Smiley merely glanced back at Ozpin, he was surprised, true, but he focused on getting onto the task at hand.
Ozpin's hands were in a steeple position and he said "Hello" in which Ruby replied "Nice to meet you."
Luna on the other hand, deadpanned at the scene. Clearly she was not expecting that to be the result.
Ozpin continued, "You want to come to my school?" and Ruby answered his question with all her sincerity that her heart contained "More than anything." He smiles at his assistant, Glynda Goodwitch, who merely made a 'Hmph' in response whilst rolling her eyes.
Ozpin turns to Ruby and said "Well, okay" and Ruby couldn't believe her luck as her smile got wider. Ozpin then looked to Glynda and said to her "Take Miss Rose to the other room for a while. I need to talk with our other guests." And she complied, leading Ruby out of the room and leaving Ozpin with four people.
He looks at Smiley and the others and asked "Just who are you people and why are you here? Not that I mind the extra help Miss Rose received, but no one just comes in to intervene such an eventful time."
Smiley answered, "We were just passing by, friend. Where we're from, passing by means having a gun on you for safety measures." as he places his Desert Eagles down onto the table. Ozpin analyzed the outfit and the weapons the three out of the four of them were carrying.
"You are mercenaries?" he asks before Smiley replied/corrected him.
"No. We prefer the term private contractor as mercenary sounds demeaning to our job."
Nexus said "Amen to that truth." as Yankee nodded with a wide toothy grin on his face. Ozpin nodded and carried onwards with the conversation, "So… what are your names?" he asks politely to the bunch.
"The name's Enrique Vasquez. You can call me by my codename Smiley." Enrique went first, flipping up his mask, revealing his facial features. He sports a 5 o' Clock Shadow that generously graced his lower face, a large red scar that crossed over his right eye, and Buzz cut hairstyle. But that's not what Luna and/or Ozpin were looking at. It was his hideous burn mark that took up the entire right half of his face, giving it a horrible white complexion/color in contrast to his actual skin color. Not many people know this, but during his childhood, Enrique took his brother to a fireworks show. One got too close, he pushed his little brother out of the way, and the sparks tore away his flesh when they touched his face in their fiery wake.
Ozpin shook off any fearful thoughts and continued "Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Vasquez. *he looks at the rest* and who are they?" Nikolai took the initiative to speak.
"My name is Nikolai Johann Prozodnikov. Codename Nexus." He turns to Yuri, who was timidly sitting down as he fiddled with his shotgun. "And that little Todd over there is my baby brother, Yuri Prozodnikov. Codename Yankee." Yuri waved at Ozpin. "And finally…" Nexus looks at Luna, who simply smiled at the teen, "she is Luna Felicia Garnet, a scientist from some high and mighty place."
Now Ozpin was interested and asked "Now why is a girl such as her a scientist at such a young age?" and Luna answered "I've always wanted to hop dimensions since I was a little girl. My adoptive father, Enrique Vasquez, supported me and, with his employers, was able to get me the equipment possible."
The Headmaster of Beacon Academy leaned towards Luna and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Hopping dimensions? Isn't that highly dangerous for a kid such as yourself?" Seeing where this was going, Enrique said in a grim tone "What we tell you must not leave this person, got it?" it wasn't an order, rather, a request. The Headmaster nodded, "It will not fall out of my tongue." Enrique told Ozpin everything he needed to know, and Ozpin told Enrique what he needed to know. Enrique told Ozpin all he needed to know about him and his group, and Ozpin told him everything he needed to know about Remnant.
And Ozpin continued "Anyway, I made a decision for you to attend Beacon while your leader over here *gestures to Smiley* will be one of the teachers. We can't have you running around like lunatics now would we?" Smiley weighed down the options and made a few plans in advance in case things went south.
He gave one more look to the teens and smiled underneath his mask. "Where do I sign up?"
-The next week, on an airship-
Currently, Yankee was trying to hold in his breakfast while the others remained nonchalant or unfazed about the fact that they were high up in the air. Nexus heard the girl from before; Ruby Rose if he remembered it right, talking to a buxom blonde wearing one of the sexiest outfits he'd ever seen in his teenage life. Luna, on the other hand, was clearly enjoying the view from above and felt at peace with herself.
"Please stop~" Ruby groaned out as she was being suffocated in the blonde girls chest. The blonde girl, Yang, let's go of her and said "But I'm so proud of you!" as she excitedly hopped in place.
"Really sis, it was nothing." But Yang replied to her little step-sister's words.
"What do you mean? It was incredible!" she then places her arm around Ruby's shoulders and motions to everyone visible.
"Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
But Ruby voiced out annoyed "I don't want to be the bee's knees, okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."
Nexus rolled his eyes (he was a considerable distance away) and said in his mind 'Yeah, right. As normal as a girl running around in with a scythe.'
Yang then asked "What's with you? Aren't you excited?" as she used her arms to make her point across.
"Of course I'm excited… I just…" Ruby explained "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything…" she trailed off whilst moving her feet around. Yang walked up to her sister, placed an arm over her shoulder and told her.
"But you are special." Nexus couldn't help but smile at the bond Ruby and Yang shared. It reminded him of himself and Yuri back then before…
'NO! Don't go there again! You promised yourself and Yuri, Nikolai…' he looks over to Yuri, who was looking around for a trash can to unload his lunch.
After the news report and Glynda's announcement, they all relaxed. That is until they heard someone puke. The group looks at Yuri, only for him to point at a blonde boy currently dispensing his lunch at a nearby bin.
"Well… I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang joked while Ruby continued.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted."
"I wonder who're we gonna meet?"
"I just hope they're better than 'Vomit-Boy'…" That's when the girl in red cloak noticed something.
"Oh Yang, gross, you got puke on your shoe!" Ruby started to run away in a comedic manner from her sister.
"Gross, gross, gross…"
"Get away, get away! Get away from me!" The two sister's blunder did not go unnoticed by the one of the private contractors and the scientist, as they were struggling to hold in their laughter. Yuri noticed some green on Nikolai's foot.
"Even you have puke on yah!"
"What the-! Oh gross, get this shit off of me!" Now there were two pairs of siblings having trouble with puke on their feet.
It was gonna be a long trip to Beacon…
-On the deck, with Ozpin and Glynda-
Currently, the two professors of Beacon Academy were discussing about a certain subject.
"Professor Ozpin, I understand that Miss Rose is more than capable, but those four strangers? They're complete lunatics!" Glynda frustratingly stated as she went over the statistics the Scroll's scanners made from observing the Smiley, Nexus, and Yankee in action alongside Ruby while Luna was by the sidelines. Ozpin took a good sip from his coffee mug before fortifying his reasons.
"That man has led the two boys and taught them well while the girl that accompanies them is merely an observant. Given time, they will be ready for the coming storm." Ozpin looks over to Glynda and continues.
"The Prozodnikov Brothers are merely uncontrolled energy in need of direction." He looks at Smiley's mug shot, "And their mentor is more than capable of taking out the dark forces in the coming storm."
The coming storm, however, has made various changes to its plans originally…
This is gonna be a swell first year at Beacon Academy.
