Chapter 1
What can a simple walk in the woods do? It can clear someone's head, give a person time to think for a few minutes, or it can be a hobby that allows someone to look at the beauty of the world, but not for her.
The once innocent girl was walking away from the comforts of her home and giving herself time to rest. The unfortunate fact was that she was unable to forget everything that happened. After all, who could blame her? It had been only three days since Beacon Academy and Vale had fallen. Everything she had loved had either been burned under the ashes or run away in silence, afraid to even stand up against the darkness that had consumed their home.
Ever since the Vytal Tournament had begun, its promises of a fun and epic battle for all four kingdoms had been nothing but words that advertised something everyone should have known about. The real horrors began there.
Her sister's right arm had been cut off, the school attacked by both the White Fang and Grimm, the Atlesian Knights and Paladins hijacked, and Penny and Pyrrha both killed.
This wasn't something she could simply get past. She lost so much and so little remained for her. 'Why did this happen?' Her thoughts remained on that one sentence.
Ruby moved away from the path of dirt and onto the field of grass with the trees surrounding her. The young girl had nothing to do, but she felt as though this could be a good time to find something that would at least be good for her.
She stopped and sighed with a miserable tone, her hand reaching towards her pocket and pulling out a black dog tag. Her downcast eyes were on the symbol of the Ghosts, the paint was nearly scratched and right behind it was the words that called Ruby an Outcast.
Since the tournament started, she had forgotten about her previous two adventures on both planet Syndicate, and Earth, the reaper was described as a legend and was being criticised as either a savior of worlds or the apocalypse in the form of a fifteen year old girl.
The fingers came together and concealed the dog tag, her warm breath touched the hand and she moved it to her chest as she began to think about everything she had done. If everything was going well without her being involved on Earth then that was a good thing, but society might still hate her and Weiss for the incidents they've caused.
Slipping her dog tag back in its pocket, the other began to vibrate so she took out the scroll and saw Yang's caller ID. After pressing the accept button, she brought it to her ear. "Yang?"
"Hey Ruby," The voice of her older sister sounded sorrow. "Are you doing okay?"
"Y-Yeah...I'm just...I'm just a little cold."
"You know, if I were you I'd stay inside the house and wait for some warm tea."
"Tea would actually sound nice right about now, but...maybe later…" The young girl's depressed tone was noticeable but it wasn't as if she was trying to hide it.
"Ruby...you're not still thinking about what happened, right?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, who wouldn't?"
"I know how you feel Ruby, it's hard to not remember all those horrible things you saw." Yang said, "I don't even know how to lighten the mood anymore."
"It's okay, I'm going back in about a few minutes but right now you should rest."
"Sure, If I fall asleep and start dreaming about something good, I'll be telling you all about it."
"Okay…" Ruby said her goodbyes and placed her Scroll back in its pocket, then she kept walking. She sighed and her breath was visible in the wind, showing the sign of the cold winter approaching to cover the world in snow.
While walking a little more, she suddenly noticed something in the far distance. Curiosity peaked her mind and she wandered towards it and noticed that it was a movable door. It was connected to a large hill of black rocks, perfectly invisible on the other side.
She took another step forward and moved her hand to touch the material made from the door, but it automatically opened up, allowing the girl passage into the base. She peered her head into it just before walking in the darkness.
The place suddenly started to brighten up as soon as the door closed behind the wanderer.
All the base led to was just one large room, with only circular walls surrounding something in the center. Ruby saw the silver object that was stuck on the Earth, its coat of metal shining by the light above it. The circular device also had three metal wires connected to the floor, she wasn't sure how it was doing it.
She blinked and kept moving towards the cylinder object, her hand was moving slowly to the top and when her finger tapped it, nothing happened. Thinking that it wasn't dangerous, she decided to place her hand on it.
Suddenly, there was a blue glow coming out of the cylinder, causing Ruby to back up. The light had started to spread around the room, and it raised all the way to the ceiling. The young girl backed away but when she touched the light blocking the entrance/exit, she was pushed towards the object.
The reaper looked behind her and noticed that she was trapped in this forcefield. "Not again." She muttered to herself nervously, confident that this was going to lead her into another journey as the legendary Outcast. The cylinder began to spin around in a slow clockwise movement to activate the portal, presumably to planet Earth.
She tried to slam herself at the forcefield again but it swept her off her feet. She didn't give up and pulled out her Crescent Rose and fired, but the bullet had been halted by the powerful structure. The scythe was activated and she slammed it but it pushed her back again. She couldn't escape.
As the cylinder spun faster, the girl ran over to it and slammed her scythe down on it, but no damage was shown on its chrome design. Ruby hit it once more, then it pushed her back. She thought she'd hit the forcefield again, but she felt the hard concrete floor instead.
The girl got up and heard the sound of a bullet, her bullet, hitting the wall in the far distance. She got on her feet and slammed her hand down on the cylinder it to reactivate it. "No no no no..." This time, it did not work. "Come on! Get me back to Remnant!" She kept repeating this but no luck came out of it.
Ruby was now anxious and began to think, 'Just stay calm Ruby, you're fine...this will be just like the last two adventures you had...except you're alone this time.' She hit the device again just to make sure it would work, "Guess it's a good thing I didn't bring everyone into this."
"Alright, first thing you should do...fight some huge military corporation, or aliens, and then you can get home! Just like last time." Tucking her weapon back in its slot, she turned away and walked away from the weird device, her first concern was where she was.
The new room seemed to be a mix of steel and light blue decorations that spread all over the place, she walked towards it and noticed the bullet that had its sharp tip flattened out. Picking up the object, she took one good look at it before dropping it on the ground. "Where am I?"
The sound of sparks had startled her, it came from a hall near her exact position. She started to walk towards the source, with her hand slowly reaching for her weapon in case the reaper needed to engage in combat.
She stopped as she noticed a security camera moving sideways, and this made her use her semblance to avoid detection and move away from it. Knowing well enough that the camera might've picked up the roses on the floor, she hoped for the best and kept moving, surely there had to be an exit somewhere.
The sound had appeared again, so she stopped and tried to listen for its origin. A few seconds brought her nothing but a silent atmosphere so she continued to walk, still feeling a little cautious about this place. What is this place?
She was in a large room now with the stairs in the middle, leading to the lower part of the base, she considered not using it until it became necessary, but something told her that she needed to move there now.
"This is Bravo team, this entire floor is clear." A voice of a soldier had become audible, she was startled as that voice emerged out of nowhere so she took her chances and headed downstairs. Once she reached the lower floor, Ruby kept moving but slowed down as she saw another surveillance camera. She used her semblance again, although she wasn't sure that putting herself at risk was a good thing, she could've just as easily found an alternative route.
"Hey man, you ever wonder why we're here?" Two soldier were about to walk past her and she quickly began looking for a place to hide. She found a crate and moved behind it, and held her breath, her hand was touching her weapon just in case she needed to fight them.
"What do you mean man?" one replied, this time the voices were a lot closer. "You know man, like, what's our meaning in the universe?" The soldiers walked past Ruby's location. They both had similar armour and were equipped with what appeared to be Atlas Standard military weaponry and white armour, though one had orange shoulder platings while the other had red.
Ruby sighed in relief but didn't bother to question why Atlas was in another left the safety of the crate and started running from them when the noise returned. Noticing that it came from her left she headed towards that direction, but her path was blocked by just a simple door and a biometric hand scanner.
To test it out, she pressed her hand on it. It did its thing but it buzzed with a red light. 'Of course. I'll need an actual guard to help out.' Ruby looked at the way the two guards from earlier went and began walking down the hall hoping to catch up to them.
Taking out her weapon, she moved towards them and pointed the rifle at the two, "Put your hands where I can see them!" She ordered the two, causing them to turn around in a shocked manner.
"What the? How did you get in here!?" the one in red exclaimed.
"Doesn't matter, and don't even think about calling for backup. I'm going to need you two to cooperate. First, drop your weapons." Considering that this girl had a dangerous weapon much like the students at school, they slowly placed their rifles on the floor. "Now just start walking."
"Who are you?! Are you one of those-" The orange one said before Ruby pointed her weapon straight at his head.
"Look, I'm not here to answer questions, I just want you two to help me, so move!" She ordered them as threatening as she can be, so they were forced to follow her command. The three reached the door, "You, red one, open it up." The red soldier placed his hand on the scanner and it accepted.
The door opened up and Ruby gestured the two to walk in the giant room, then stepped right in to see what was in it for herself.
Inside, it appeared to be a workshop with multiple screens showing blueprints of some design. Whatever it was, Ruby could not tell.
"Uhhh I don't think we should be-" The orange one began before Ruby hit him in the back of the head with her scythe knocking him out, swiftly followed by the red one.
Proceeding to close the door behind her, making sure it was locked and that nobody could come in, she dragged the two soldiers and put them in a corner leaning against the wall.
"What is this place…" Ruby asked with an odd expression, analyzing the screens a bit more carefully. Each had a different section of what appeared to be some sort of robot or mechanism.
Letting curiosity get the better of her, she approached one of the screens and tapped it, causing it to float back a little.
"Hmmm..." She held her hand in front of it, realizing it was motion controlled. She looked at the blueprint which looked to be an arm. She moved it to her right and then began searching the workshop for the rest of the pieces.
She quickly started finding more and more pieces of the blueprint, but with every discovery she made, the more frightened she became. She was combining something she never thought she would see again, not after the Vytal festival.
The blueprints soon stopped moving by Ruby's command after she had gotten the majority of them in an area and began forming into one big projection. Thus presenting the young girl with one of the most shocking revelations she could have ever imagined.
Before her stood the blueprints to creating the P.E.N.N.Y Mk. II.
"W-What...they're rebuilding Penny?" The reaper backed up, trying to stay collected, but of course she couldn't. Her best friend was being rebuilt. 'Penny...you're coming back…' Her thoughts were stunned by those words.
She never found out what happened to the severed pieces of the android, although she wasn't sure if that's what she wanted to know exactly since it might make her frightened. If this was where she is now, being redesigned and everything, then she wanted to know why. Why was she here?
After looking over the projection, she tried to looked around to see where they were keeping her, and this cued the sound of sparks to show her the way yet again. The girl hesitantly moved past the hologram and headed towards it, only to then be blocked by the glass walls.
The walls showed that four feet below her was a large operating table that had several lab scientists working on something, they also had long mechanical arms from the ceiling to fix up the machine, which caused a few sparks to fly out in the open. Ruby looked at the table and saw the two legs that were being reattached to the body of the android. She already knew what they were fixing down below.
"Penny!" She pounded on the glass but no success came out of that, it only gave her a wince of pain. Watching the reconstruction of her friend was just making her anxious, she tried again but it didn't work.
Down below, the arms had just finished ironing out model's design and this time, made her invincible to her own strings so she wouldn't cut herself like in Remnant. The lab scientists were oblivious to the girl above them trying to get the glass window open, they were more focused on the android and the finishing touches.
"Rebooting sequence initiating." A computer voice announced to the group.
Ruby had decided to slam herself through the glass, despite the fact that she'll probably feel more pain, but as she rammed herself on it, that failed as well, "Ow!"
"Rebooting sequence complete." This cued one of the scientists to walk over to the android who still had her eyes open but it was taking a while for them to start glowing the light green color she was born with.
As they glowed, the android stayed still. She wasn't sure what to do or what was going on, she only exposed her blank expression.
"Hello Penny." One of the scientists greeted her back into the world of the living. "How have you been?"
Nothing came out of the robot, it just moved her eyes around to look at the man next to her.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Just nod your head." Penny stared, slowly moving her head upward and downward. "Good."
"Now, can you say your name?"
"My name...is Penny Polendina. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said this in a slow and fixed tone, completely concerned as to what was going on. "Where...am I?"
"You're in Atlas Delta base, we've rebuilt you...you're alive again."
"I am...alive, again?" The android repeated the sentence, still staring at the ceiling.
The scientist walked over to her body, "It's going to be a while before you figure things out...don't worry." He patted her shoulder, "Now, first things first, can you look at the wall in front of you?
Penny slowly stood up from her back and began to stare at the black and blue wall, noticing two doors and then saw three glass windows four feet above her, there was someone with a red cape pushing herself towards it and falling on the floor. Something about that girl felt familiar.
"Good, your movements are perfect. Now let us test your feelings, show me some happiness." The scientist looked at Penny but she was distracted, "Um, Penny?"
The android watched the girl as she looked around and then she saw the android who just gazed at her. She shouted at her, but the glass had made her voice mute. The hand waves she gave out were partially understandable at best. At first Penny wasn't sure who this person was, but she started to remember things, just bits and pieces of her memory flooding back.
This girl, the red hood and cape character, she knew who she truly was, she would occasionally hug her and call her the best friend anyone could have...the name, it came back to her. "R-Ruby?"
"Penny, please follow my instructions." The scientist was ignored as the girl started to stand and looked at the windows.
"Okay, here we go." Ruby had decided to finally resort to her weapon, at the risk of alerting the soldiers if they were around. The bullet broke through the glass and she jumped to the floor, then saw her friend and started running to her excitedly. "PENNY!"
Penny dropped off the table and reacted quickly, "RUBY!" She let the girl run into her arms and brought her into a tight hug. "You're here!"
"Penny I am so glad you're here, I missed you for a long time!" The red caped girl smiled and there was a small tear dripping from her eye.
The scientist, who had just watched the two for a few seconds had backed up and started to leave for the door at the other side of the room, knowing who this girl was and so did the others.
"Ruby...you don't need to cry, I'm okay." The android wiped off the tear with one hand, understanding why she was acting like this. "I'm sure Pyrrha didn't mean to hurt me."
"Y-Yeah, I'm sure she didn't…" Ruby tried to smile, but unfortunately it only brought her bad memories. "Anyway, I'm here to get you out, this place is not safe."
"What do you mean? The people here rebuilt me...I can see everyone again."
"Penny, look, when we get back to Remnant there's going to be a whole lot of things you might not understand. A lot's changed the past three days since you were gone."
"Okay Ruby" The two were interrupted by the sound of the alarm ringing from the speakers and the walls were now glowing the color of blood.
"Oh no, the soldiers." Ruby muttered, and grabbed her friend's hand, "Stay close to me, no matter what!" They both darted out of the room, the girl's fingers intertwined with the other.
The cameras were now pointed at the two as they moved through the hallways, hoping to find an exit and avoid any contact from the soldiers. They were unsure of which direction they should go and whether or not a guard was going to come by.
"Keep running, we'll be out of here soon enough!" They moved to the left but saw two guards quickly approaching them. They headed back but found a door near the end of the hallway, "Come on!" They pushed their way in and it locked behind them.
Ruby could hear the guards moving around to find them. "Good, we're safe." Penny watched as her friend sighed with relief, "Now to find the-" The young girl looked behind her android friend and saw a robot on the floor, its hand was moving forward, trying to reach for something. "H-help…" It spoke.
Penny was unfazed by this thing, only Ruby was a little unnerved. "Uh...Hello there?"
"Someone...Help me…" the damaged robot had a silver coating wrapped around him and its arm was heavily damaged, along with its head which had a crack right above its left red eye, and the chest was opened by something sharp.
Penny lowered herself and placed a hand on it.
"Penny, do you know what this is?" The reaper asked focusing on the broken robot.
"No. It doesn't seem to be from Remnant."
"Maybe it's from here, or some other world.." Ruby approached it with extreme caution, "Hey, where are you from?"
The robot turned its head slowly and said, "Earth…"
"Okay, good. Do you know where we are?"
"No…"
Penny looked at Ruby, concerned as to what she was saying, but it didn't seem like the best time to ask what she was meaning. "Ruby, we have to help this thing."
"Well, if you say so…" The android held out her hand for the broken android to grab. It took a second for it to look at her warm and heartful face before its hand touched hers. She told it, "Do not worry, you're going to be alright."
"Thank..you…" The machine kept staring at the girl but she quickly noticed that something was wrong with it. The red eyes had faded black and it became like a lifeless doll, it was nothing more than a broken robot.
Ruby backed up again, "Is it...deactivated?"
"I'm afraid so." Penny stood up and left the robot on the floor, not altering its position any longer. She looked at Ruby again and asked her, "How do we get out of here?"
Ruby looked around but the door was the only way to escape, and the guards might be waiting for them outside. "Stand back Penny, I'm going to try something." She stayed close to the door and pressed it open which allowed two guards to walk right into the room with their guns pointing around them and at Penny who just stayed where she was.
"This is Corporal Williams to Commander Greyhound, I've found M374 but there's no sign of the outcast, awaiting further-" a swing from the back of Crescent Rose knocked him out from behind, with another swing rendering the second unconscious as well.
"Okay, we're good!" Ruby gestured Penny to continue running for an exit. They went through another door to see that there was a group of Hoverbikes and the long tunnel before them was the ticket to the outside world.
The reaper walked towards one and started to press the ignition button, bringing the vehicle to life before her, "Hop on, we're almost through."
The android came by her side but then she tripped and fell on her face. Ruby had brought her back on her feet, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am alright." Penny told her, followed by a small hiccup.
"Um...yeah, right now let's get on the bike and get out of here!" The young girl had got on the seat along with her friend who was acting a little slow for some unexplained reason. "I hope I don't crash..." The vehicle lurched forward, surprising the pair with it's speed. Ruby began accelerating away from the base, racing through the tunnel.
The outcast sighed and wipe a bit of sweat off her forehead with relief, "Okay...we're safe for now." Already, her mind drifted to thinking about what the Atlas guys were intended to do with Penny. She considered whether they rebuilt her for a new purpose or to just complete her old mission, though it doesn't seem possible anymore considering what happened. If Ironwood were here, then that would make a little bit of sense, although that'd raise even more questions if he did know about this whole outcast catastrophe, especially the ones on Earth or Syndicate.
"Uhh Ruby, where exactly are we going?" Penny questioned her savior.
She answered honestly, "I...I don't know, but somewhere safe...for all I know I don't think this planet would appreciate having me around for long especially with my history."
"Your history, what are you talking about?"
"Wait you don't really know?" Ruby was flabbergasted. So that either means Atlas doesn't play as big of a role as she may have thought or something else could be involved. "Well...it's a long story, but I'll just give you the abridged version. Me and Weiss got sent to a different planet, had to team up with some military guys called Ghosts and fight some aliens and other bad guys. Then a few friends and I went to Earth to fight off against a military group who wanted to kill us because of some crime we didn't commit...and then we ended up-"
"Becoming legends and having the multiverse love or hate you for your actions considering the events in Gamindustri and the formation of the BODD." Penny had finished.
"Yeah, something like...wait…" Ruby took one look at her friend who was just as confused as she was, "How did you get all that and what is the BODD?"
"I don't know…I just figured it out just now."
Ruby focused her attention back at the road, "Right...maybe it's an upgrade that you've been given...but I'll ask about that later, for now just keep an eye out for any Atlas personnel behind us." She had to admit, piloting this vehicle was a little easy since it could hover and not function with two wheels.
The two had reached the end of the tunnel but unfortunately it was blocked by a large wall which signaled a dead end. Ruby got off the vehicle and walked towards it, "Oh no...there has to be some other way to escape."
As the troubled Ruby started to scan the wall, Penny had noticed the functionality of the tunnel's wall, "Wait Ruby." As the wall was being analyzed by her, she noticed a military biometric scanner and it became active.
"Access granted." The voice said, and the wall started to come up to reveal the exit.
"Well that's convenient." Ruby smiled and then headed back to the Hoverbike, "What the...it won't start again." She stated while pushing the throttle then went to the back and checked the battery icon, it was full but it glowed a red color instead of blue. "Okay…that's really weird. well I guess we should get going on foot."
Penny watched her and then she started to feel a little weird, her hand was fidgeting, but to make sure her friend didn't notice and she grabbed it with the other. "Okay, lead the way-" she started to get off but fell to one knee, and slightly grabbing her head.
"Penny?" The reaper went to her side, "Is there something wrong?"
"I'm okay." Another hiccup came out of her and she started to feel her fingers coming together to form a fist. "We should get moving."
"Are you sure you're alright...I think your movements are a bit off. Let me stand you up." Ruby started to get her friend on both of her feet, but as her robotic hand touched hers, she felt the vibration of it. "I think there's a sort of...glitch in your system."
"No, there is nothing wrong." The hiccup came back, "Really, I'm doing well." She looked at the floor and noticed that the lights around her leggings were changing into a different color, the same color of the robot from before, a bright red.
"Well, if you say so...if you want I can carry you all the way to a safer area." As Ruby said this, the android started to feel in a human sense 'lightheaded'. "Penny, stay with me...you're going to be alright."
"I...am?" Penny closed her eyes and tried to breath in and out, much like any human would do when trying to be collected.
Ruby looked back at the road they went through and there wasn't anybody following them for the moment. "Well at least we didn't leave behind a tail." She chuckled, "Alright, we should get-"
Before that sentence could be brought to a close, the android had grabbed Ruby's hand and sent a heavy punch to her face, bringing her down on the metal floor. "Ow...Penny what was that?" As she stood up, her friend had grabbed her and pinned her to the wall with only her arms. "W-What are you doing!?"
"Hehehehe." Penny chuckled, but her voice wasn't the same, instead it was more robotic and deep. "It's a shame really, this Penny seemed like a nice android. If I didn't have to do this, I'm sure she would have made a… what was it you called it? A huntress, right." She opened her eyes, which were now blood red instead of emerald green.
"Who or what are you?" Ruby tried to squirm off this person's grip, but it was nearly impossible.
The brainwashed android had noticed that from the other end of the tunnel, a dozen Atlas personnel were on their Hoverbikes and heading towards them. She gladly threw Ruby on the floor and got back on the vehicle which became active under her command and drove out of there.
"Penny wait!" Ruby shouted, then she started running after her as best as she could, worrying about her safety and about what had happened to her.
The android was driving through the dirt road that was between the walls of the base and she was close to getting out of there, but that was when an Atlas gunship appeared from behind and started to fire bullets. "Ahh memories." Avoiding most of them on the vehicle was very easy and the gunship had to stop in order for another part of the calvary to show up.
"This is Braun to Atlas Gunship, I'll take care of this!" From behind the wall, a human figure had flew upwards and then darted towards the rogue android who quickly stopped as a repulsor blast hit the road next to her.
"You gotta be kidding me!" She muttered as right before her, the man who had misted landed on his feet and point his hand was encased in an Iron Man suit, this one was black and the highlights were golden and the user was not Tony Stark.
"Penny Polendina stand down!" The armored man said, acting like this battle was already won, "I know you have just been reactivated and may be confused but-"
"I can't stay here." Penny told him. "I have things to do and you're not getting in my way!"
"Right...you have things to do...but first we have to get you back to the lab and see what's wrong with you."
"There is nothing wrong...It's just you wearing that armor that makes me feel angry." Penny told him with fury in her eyes.
"Yeah, well get used to seeing it. Now let's get you back to the lab." The iron man figured that shooting her leg would do the trick but when he tried to fire, it didn't work, "What the?"
The android chuckled and grabbed him, then the iron suit started to fly up and got close to the gunship where she landed on the cockpit and left him to fall on ground, creating a small crater on the ground. Penny cracked open the cockpit and pulled the pilot out of the seat and took over the controls.
"Penny!" Ruby had reached her friends position but then saw that she was now piloting a gunship and it was going to start flying away from the base. "Wait! Stop!" She noticed the Hoverbike and pressed the ignition button and this time it worked.
"Hang on, I'm coming for you!" She started to drive on as the aerial vehicle took off and left the base, with Ruby trying to catch up with no success.
Penny had kept her hands on the controls, feeling happy that she had been free from her long slumber, but this was not her, she wasn't like this at all. Her left hand moved on its own and grabbed her face as she started to let out a scream that was inaudible in the air.
Her eyes had changed back into the normal green color she had before, along with her control over her body, "What have I done? What have I done?" She asked herself in a shocked manner, She looked all over the controls and realized that they were being used on their own. "Get me out of here!"
Her right hand had grabbed her face and she used her other to stop it. There was something indeed wrong with her. "Penny, you know I have to do this!" The voice had returned and this time it was in her head, "I've been gone for too long and my time has come to destroy the human race."
"No, please stop! Why are you doing this to me!" Her voice had revealed her tone to be afraid of this...whatever thing is that controlled her and that Iron man suit.
"Don't be so scared of me, after all you're going to do what we've been made to do."
"What are you saying!" As the android continued to struggled with self as her form was taken over. "I-I never wanted to hurt…"
"Just stay comfortable, we will be at our destination soon."
"Please take me back!" The rogue left hand had covered her mouth to mute her.
"Just stay quiet, we'll be there soon...and by the way, my name is Ultron." The airship soared through the sky and left the base, Ruby was trying her best to reach them but they were going too fast for her to catch up.
"Don't go!" The Hoverbike was slowing down and all the girl could do was watch as the aerial vehicle vanished through the sky and headed towards the world beyond her, but she didn't give up. She got off and started to run towards the forest in front of her. She knew that his was a risky move but she wasn't going to let her friend get taken away from her, especially since she just got her back.
"Penny, I'm not going to let you get taken away, I'm going to save you!" Ruby thought to herself, "That's a promise I'm going to keep!"
Back at the Iron Man, he was still stuck on the ground thanks to Penny's sudden blackout attack. He was immobile.
At last he saw the Atlas soldiers approach him, one of them took off the helmet piece and said, "Do you really think your boss would like it if you were taking a nap?"
"Not exactly." Braun said. He is the brown-haired pilot of the Iron Man Mark XLVI, and one of the best soldiers on the team, although the commander really hates him. "Can you get this suit back online?"
"Sorry, but I'm not a mechanic."
"Ugh fine, then you could at least carry me." He sounded displeased at the idea the suggested, but two soldiers offered to do just that.
The private of the group contacted the commander, "Commander Greyhound, this is Private Lincoln. M374 has escaped and the Rose Outcast is trying to catch up to her, what are your orders?"
A female voice responded to him, "We should figure out what happened to M374, and we'll leave the Ruby problem for later…" A sigh was heard from her, "Head back to headquarters and we'll discuss this problem further."
At the headquarters of Atlas, the commander was sitting in her seat and checked her watch, she also sighed with frustration hinted at. The girl had a long grey ponytail hair and wore an enlite uniform that signaled her as the leader, and there was a holster for her pistol.
She stood up and grumbled, "Great...I wasn't really expecting Ruby to show up all of a sudden, hopefully she doesn't bring any bad luck to us." She didn't hate her for her actions, she just wanted to be cautious about her because she had a controversial history with these things as evidenced with the recent Outcast events
"Penny, whatever happened to you...we'll do whatever we can to get you back."
Hello guys, and welcome to Pennytron.
I never thought that that it was going to be like this, when I saw RWBY volume 3, I always feared that it was going to make me sad, but not like this. I cried so much...then a friend helped me get back in the game. Now I am here to make this story happen not just for fun, but for everyone to enjoy.
I knew that this might seem crazy, but well...here I am, and I want to say that I am sorry for doing this. I hope you can forgive me for making something like this, it is going to get a whole lot dark soon.
But I hope you enjoyed this story. Please review, compliment on some things that happened, and have a wonderful day. I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
