Chapter 1. Luck will eventually run out.

"Oi, Gengai. Did you fix it?"

"Yes I did, Ginnoji. You can take it with you now."

Gintoki stared at his scooter, then back at Gengai.

"You didn't install anything really messed up or something, did you?" he asked.

"Nope. I just did what you asked." Gengai replied.

Gintoki gave his scooter another stare. He then flipped it around to see if anything weird was installed. Letting out a sigh of relief, Gintoki sat down on his scooter.

"Oi, Kagura, Shinpachi, it's time to go." he called out for them.

"Alright, Kagura, you heard him." Shinpachi said, as he hopped onto the scooter.

"Aww, we're going already?" Kagura sighed. "But I was having so much fun playing with Gengai's newest invention." she said, punching what looked like a punching bag.

"Ah, don't punch that! It's my newest generator…" Gengai's callout was a tad too late, as Kagura's fists went through what he called his newest generator.

The generator churned and coughed out some smoke for a few moments, then it died, together with some other inventions that required electricity.

"Oops… I'll just… Get on the scooter now…" Kagura said, her voice slowly getting weaker and weaker.

"Well, thanks for repairing my scooter Gengai." Gintoki started the engines and was about to drive along, only to be grabbed by Gengai.

"Your payment, for property damage and scooter repairs."

"Oh uh.. About that…"

Gintoki gassed the scooter, blasting away into full speed in an attempt to escape from him.

"You won't get away!" Gengai shouted, pulling out a small device and had pushed a button on it, activating a small mech that bursted out of his garage and had started chasing after them.

"Kagura, do something about that!" Gintoki screamed, panicking and putting more gas onto the scooter to make it reach Mach speed.

"Aye!" Kagura turned and pointed her umbrella at the chasing mech, and pulled a trigger, letting out a hail of bullets on it. A lucky bullet landed on the eye of the mech, putting it directly to a stop and tumble over.

"Alright, we got it! We're home free!" Both Gintoki and Kagura in unison shouted in joy.

"Ah, Gin-san, look out!" shrieked Shinpachi in fear.

"Huh?" Gintoki turned around, seeing that they were about to drive into a wall. He grabbed the handle and pulled on the brakes, but it was no use.

The brakes were removed.

"Wha- Gengai, you old geezer, what the hell did you do!?" Gintoki shouted at him.

"I knew this would happen, so I removed your brakes." Gengai scoffed.

"Gin-san, it's too late, we're gonna crash!" Shinpachi said.

"Take cover!" they all covered their heads and closed their eyes, ready to brace for impact. Suddenly, a portal opened on the wall of the building and they drove right into it. Soon after, the portal closed.

Gengai walked over to the area where the portal appeared. He continued on laughing and laughing about what had just happened. His plan worked perfectly as he had planned it to.

"Heheh. That should teach them a lesson." He pulled out another device and pushed a button, hoping that the portal would open again and that Gintoki and his gang would drive out of it.

But it didn't work.

He continued pushing the button over and over again, until the device blew up right on his face.

Gengai fell silent. He stared at what remained of the device, then stared at the wall where the portal opened. "Well, at least nobody was brought with them, I hope." with that mindset, Gengai walked back to his workshop to create another device that would bring them back.

Gintoki could feel his scooter slowing down. When they came to a complete stop, he opened his eyes, seeing that they were in the middle of a forest. He started wondering, if by some dumb luck, they were able to drive all the way out of Edo with their eyes closed.

Maybe they did.

He turned to look at Shinpachi and Kagura, whose eyes were still closed.

"Oi, open your eyes." Gintoki said to them.

"Eh.. Uh-Huh? Where are we?" Shinpachi asked.

"Dunno, but I think we just drove out of Edo with our eyes closed."

"What?! But we were just about to drive into a wall!"

"Then we must've drove up the wall and flew all the way here."

"What kind of bullshit answer is that?!"

"Then answer that mystery for yourself, Pachi-boy!"

"Gin-chan…" Kagura loudly grumbled in unison with her stomach. "I'm hungry…"

"What the hell can I do about it?!" Gintoki growled in response. "I'm not your sugar daddy, dammit!"

"Then what should I do…" Kagura's stomach grumbled louder.

"I dunno, go find something that is edible. We're in a forest. Shouldn't be that hard."

"But Gin-san…" Shinpachi interrupted. "What if it's an unknown object, just like my sister's cooking?"

"Then we hope for the best, Shinpachi-kun…" Gintoki replied, patting him on the shoulder. "Well, lets head back now." he continued. "I still gotta teach Gengai his lesson for removing the brakes on my scooter."

It had been several hours ever since they arrived on the forest and ever since, they have been strolling around finding their way back to Edo, along with a few stopovers for potty breaks, a lot of eaten mushrooms and a couple of hours complaining about the heat.

"Gin-san…" Shinpachi wearily blurted out. "Why aren't we using your scooter to get back to Edo?"

"Because, scooters were made for the city terrain, not forest."

"But back in Gintama 2015's second opening, you were driving your scooter in the forest…"

"That was for style. You know how animators do it to get the viewers into the feel of the anime, right?"

"What are you getting at…"

"What I'm saying is, the openings are for marketing stunts."

"Gin-chan! Look!" Kagura cried out in joy, pointing at some creature covered in black. "Can we keep it?"

"Uh, Kagura-chan. I don't think it's friendly." Shinpachi implied.

Kagura ran towards the black creature to give it a hug. The creature turned to face her, growling and ready to pounce. As she got close and gave it one big power hug, the creature started clawing at the air in a desperate attempt to breathe. She squeezed the creature tighter, causing the creature's back to snap in half and die, then eventually dissolving into thin air.

"No… Not you too, Sadaharu 30!" Kagura cried out in pain, bursting into tears.

Her cry was so loud, it attracted even more of the strange creatures to their location, with some of them growling viciously at them.

"Ooh, even more Sadaharus!" Kagura shouted in joy, quickly recovering from her grief.

"Kagura-chan, I really don't think they're friendly." Shinpachi tried to remind her, but the foolish girl ran at one of them, giving it another death hug.

This was not going to end well for the Odd Jobs trio and for the creatures that have been given death hugs by a rampaging little girl.

The soon-to-be-extinct Sadaharus commenced their attack on the Odd Jobs trio, while Kagura played the role as the grim reaper, passing on death hugs to every Sadaharu-potential animal she could see, causing each of them to dissolve right after. Seeing the sight of a massacre and a sign of impending doom, each of the creatures' animal instinct activated, signaling them to run away not because of fear, but because they were giving way to something a lot more troubling to the Odd Jobs trio.

"Wait! Sadaharu 57, 58 and 59, come back!" Kagura desperately called out to the creatures scampering away. "Eh- Huh? Gin-chan, where did you go?" she averted her attention to her next objective- finding the two scrooges.

"I'm right here Kagura…" Gintoki said as he got out of a burrow. "We got stuck in the middle of the stampede when they ran away, so me and Pachi-boy hid in there." he pointed at the burrow he just came out of.

"Then where's Pachi-boy?"

"He's right here." Gintoki raised up a pair of glasses, obviously belonging to Shinpachi.

"Uh.. I'm right here." said Shinpachi as he climbed down from a tree. He climbed up the tree in a hurry to avoid getting caught in the stampede, accidentally dropping his glasses.

"Shinpachi!" Kagura grabbed the glasses from Gintoki's hands and exclaimed in joy. "You're alright! Not even a speck of dust is on you!"

"Well of course!" Gintoki followed up. "As the leader, I have the responsibility to take care of you guys. Look, Pachi-boy's unharmed!"

"Oi." the real Shinpachi interrupted with a strict tone in his voice. "Don't screw around with me. I know you guys can see and hear me."

"What are you talking about Pachi-boy?" replied Gintoki, still facing towards the pair of glasses. "Of course we can see and hear you, right Kagura?"

"Yeah!"

"Give me that." Shinpachi said with a stern voice, grabbing his pair of glasses back from Kagura and setting it back on his face. "Gin-san, we should hurry back. The sun's starting to set."

Gintoki looked at the sky. Glasses boy was right, the sun was going down. "Looks like we'll have to use the scooter after all." He hopped onto the scooter, followed by Shinpachi and Kagura. Gassing the scooter, they accelerated into moderate speed, driving past and evading trees on the way. The wind hitting against their faces as they drove by, it felt so peaceful and relaxing for the Odd Jobs.

Until a loud rumbling sound shook the earth as it emerged behind them..

Kagura and Shinpachi turned around to look, their faces cramping up as they screamed out in horror. Gintoki, having heard of their screams, was eager to turn his head around to look as well.

"Oi, what's going on back there?" Gintoki asked, slowly turning his head, but it was forcefully snapped to face forward.

"N-Nothing! Just continue driving. Full speed ahead!" Shinpachi blurted out in a hurry, as he held Gintoki's head still to prevent him from looking.

It was only a matter of time until he could hear Kagura shooting a hail of bullets and shouting out curse words and screams of horror. Gintoki couldn't help it anymore. He glanced at the side mirror, and saw a huge speck of black follow after them, although he was unable to see the whole thing itself. Forcing his head to turn, counterattacking Shinpachi's resistance, he was able to see the whole thing itself. It was a giant scorpion, also covered in black, with a golden stinger that was just right above their heads.

Gintoki shrieked in terror, his scream resonating with the motor of his scooter as he broke it's limits, his scooter going faster to the point that the speedometer could no longer measure the current speed they were at and eventually breaking.

In less than a minute, they were able to successfully outrun the damned thing. Although not sure if they were safe yet, they all turned to look at their rear.

"Did we lose it?" Shinpachi asked nervously.

"I'm not sure Pachi-boy. Kagura, keep an eye on our rear." Gintoki commanded the China girl with a stern voice.

"Aye!" she responded, readying her umbrella in case they were still being chased.

"Well, looks like we got some breathe- Ah, Gin-san!" Shinpachi screamed again pointing to the front, reminding their fool of a leader to keep his eyes on the road.

"Huh?" He turned to look, seeing as they were about to drive off a cliff. He shrieked in terror once more together with his underlings as they drove off the cliff and went airborne.

"We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Shinpachi continued screaming. He screamed even louder at the sight of a giant flying bird, also covered in black, as it flew right towards them.

"Kyahoo!" Kagura shouted with excitement. She's been to many rollercoaster rides before, but she found this joyride to be the best of them all.

Gintoki ceased his screaming and gripped the handles of his scooter tightly, refocusing it to a proper angle that could save their lives. "Kagura!" he shouted out, signaling the China girl to do her thing.

"Aye!" she responded, turning to face forward and pointing her umbrella at the giant bird, with a little help to stabilize her aim. Shinpachi was now no longer just a human glasses rack.

But he was now also a bipod to help keep Kagura's aim steady.

"Wha- Hey, what are you doing?!" Shinpachi panicked, still not aware of what he's been turned into.

"Stand still, Shinpachi." she responded with a confident and calm voice.

"Ah, I see- Wait, you turned me into a complete tool!"

"Aw would ya just shuddup and keep still already, Pachi-boy?"

She had the perfect aim. The giant bird in her sights, and her umbrella aimed right at it's neck. She was gonna down that flying beast and eat it for dinner.

Until wind turbulence caught the scooter off-balance, causing Shinpachi to wobble and making her aim wobble. The umbrella slipped off of the human bipod and her hand had accidentally pulled the trigger. The bullet flew right through Gintoki's hair, buzz-cutting him, though the difference wasn't that obvious.

"Oi! Aim properly will you?!" Gintoki scowled at her.

"But Gin-chan, it's not my fault. It's Bipod Pachi's fault for swaying like that." she said, averting the blame on the poor boy.

"I couldn't help it! It's really hard to keep still when you're free falling in the air, you know that!" said Shinpachi, scowling back at Kagura.

They then started a petty arguement about one another, ignoring the fact that a giant bird was out to get the fact that they were falling to their deaths.

"General Ironwood..." Winter said as she approached the general. "We have a problem…"

"What is it?" Ironwood turned away from the window to face her.

Winter picked up her scroll and showed a few acquired images of a strange trio, riding a scooter and falling to their agony and despair, with a Nevermore caught in the picture.

Ironwood facepalmed at the sight. He was completely sure that he had the entire area evacuated.

"Sir, do we still continue the bombing run?" Winter asked.

"Yes, they won't be able to survive a fall like that anyways." answered Ironwood cold-heartedly. It was the only way to save other villages from being overrun by the Grimm. "Update me on them if anything happens."

"Yes sir." Winter responded, then walked back to her station to inform everyone to continue with the plan.

The Odd Jobs trio were still deep in their arguement. It was forced to a stop as their fall was broken by the thick tree branches, but they still roughly landed on the ground and continued speeding down the forest.

"We… We actually survived that fall…" Shinpachi said, astounded.

"And we also outran that giant bird." Gintoki chuckled nervously, they've gone this far with luck. Lots of luck.

"Whaaaaaat?!" Kagura shouted out in surprise. "Go back! I want to have that bird for dinner!"

"Kagura-chan, I seriously don't think that thing is edible."

"And wait, you're still hungry? Haven't you eaten a mountain of mushrooms earlier?"

"Well, that's because I'm a growi-" Kagura was forced to stop in the middle of her speech, as they were being bombarded by shells coming from what seemed to be a flying warship.

"Not again!" Shinpachi cried out in fear.

"Hey, this is actually pretty familiar." Gintoki said.

"Huh? How so Gin-chan?" Kagura asked, leaning over Shinpachi.

"Remember our ninth anime opening, the one with 'Toungekyou Alien' as the song?" Gintoki reminded them. "Yeah, this feels like the part where we ride on the scooter dodging explosions."

"Ooh, you're right!"

"You're not making this feel any better!" Shinpachi cried out again.

"Well, does this make you feel better?" Kagura opened her umbrella and raised it above all three of them, thinking that her umbrella was powerful enough to deflect bombardment shells.

"Are you stupid?!" he scowled at Kagura.

"Hey, it's worth a try."

"Yeah, if we fail on the first try, we die!"

"Geez, Pachi-boy…" Gintoki said, rubbing his head. "You gotta believe in her umbrella, like how we believe in her, like how you believe in me, like how I believe that this scooter will get us to safety, like how this scooter believes that it will make it back to civilization before running out of gas."

"Gin-san… you lost me there."

"Me too."

"Whatever. Just believe that we get out of this alive."

They zoomed past burnt trees, black creatures of all sorts and avoided newly-made craters. They continued evading all the way into a small clearing in the forest, where a huge herd of pure black clustered together, where in the center, they could hear gunshots, battle cries and a few commands.

The patch of black creatures then averted their attention to the sound of a scooter's motor. They turned to face the Odd Jobs trio, who were about to drive into them.

"Gin-san, what do we do?"

"Well, looks like we can't run them over… We'll have to fight." Gintoki said calmly, pulling out his wooden sword from the side of his waist.

"Sir," Winter approached Ironwood again. "We have just received intel that a huge concentration of Grimm is focused on two of Beacon's teams dispatched by Ozpin."

"And they are?"

"Teams RWBY and JNPR. We have also received additional intel that the trio that fell survived, and they are blindly running into the same horde as the two teams."

Ironwood raised an eyebrow. The trio actually survived from that fall, especially while being chased by a Nevermore. Now he was interested to see how they fare against an entire horde of Grimm.

"Your orders?"

"Leave them be."

"Wh-What? I'm sorry sir, could you repeat that?"

"Leave them be." Ironwood repeated.

"But, sir…" Winter started to grow anxious. "Can't we at least send some backup? At least a couple of men?"

"No, they already have enough backup." Ironwood averted his gaze out the window. "Don't you want to see how our troubling trio fights?"

"I.. I see. If you say so." Winter turned and clicked her heels as she went back to her station, the sound of heels clopping echoed the room for quite a while, and then it faded.

Team RWBY and Team JNPR were in a pinch. They had never felt a continuous onslaught of Grimm, one after the other. Ruby had sliced down another Beowolf, only to be replaced by two more right after.

"Everyone form a circle!" Jaune commanded and everyone followed obediently. Both teams formed one big circle with each of their backs facing each other.

"There's too many to deal with. We need to retreat!" Pyrrha followed up.

"But how?!" Weiss objected, reminding everyone of their current situation. "We're completely surrounded, with nowhere to run!"

"Then we'll make ourselves an opening!" Yang said as she bashed her fists together.

The forces of Grimm all charged towards their surrounded prey, only to be stopped at the sound of a motor and a battle cry that even got Team RWBY and JNPR's attention. Both Grimm and Hunter/Huntresses alike turned to look at a trio riding on a silver scooter, charging straight for the Grimm horde.

Both teams were astonished, seeing that a trio was sweeping through the Grimm forces like a vacuum cleaner so easily that it brought their skills to shame.

They watched the performance of a perfect teamwork.

The man on the front didn't just drive, but also hit any nearby Grimm that approached. The girl on the back did her best on shooting down Grimm that was a bit far, and the boy in the middle did an amazing job of sitting still and become a human bipod.

Ruby's attention was mainly focused on the China girl's weapon. A normal umbrella, but it shot out bullets. Lots of bullets. It was such a simple weapon, yet it was something amazing for Ruby to look at. She viciously patted her older sister on the shoulder to get her attention and pointed at the umbrella gun in action.

"Omigod, Yang look! That umbrella is so cool!" Ruby shrieked in joy and fangirled at the sight of it.

"Nothing to be so happy about little sis. It doesn't have the explosive power like my Ember Celica!" Yang replied proudly.

"Yeah but look at it mow down the Grimm horde just like that!" Ruby continued her fangirling.

"Uh guys…" Jaune reminded them. "We still have a few problems."

Although the Grimm horde was now focused at the troubling trio riding the silver scooter, there were still some Grimm that set their gaze on them.

"It's okay, there's only a few of them. We can handle it." Pyrrha assured them.

"You heard the Invincible Girl." Yang pulled a fist back, ready to throw a powerful punch. "We can win this!"

She threw a strong punch that was aimed for a Grimm right in the face, but a flash of silver appeared before her. Her fist connected with the guy driving the scooter, sending him flying into a small cluster of Grimm and knocking them over. Meanwhile, without the driver, the scooter skidded and slid across the grass, causing the two passengers to tumble and fall, while the scooter did some collateral damage by running itself into clusters of Grimm before it crashed into a tree and burned.

Everyone stared at Yang for as long as possible, before the Grimm continued their attack.

"Uh… Woops…?" she nervously chuckled, only to receive a groan of despair coming from her teammates.
