Chapter 2: First Contact
(Remnant)
After witnessing the creation of the portal, RWBY immediately went to the headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin, to inform him of the event and hope that he may have an a reasonable plan on how to handle the situation. When they finally reached the headmaster's office to see Ozpin's back in front of them, Ruby was ready to tell as she is the leader.
"Ozpin, you'll never believe what just happened during our mission." Ruby frantically yelled out, when Ozpin decided to freak them out.
"You saw multiple lighting strike a white fang base, blowing it up and leaving behind a portal that none of us know where it would lead to." answered Ozpin as stoic as he would normally be, making team RWBY flabbergasted at how he managed to know all this.
"What them, how did you..., GASP!, ARE YOU..." Ruby began until Ozpin cut her off.
"A psychic." freaking out RWBY even more till Ozpin said more.
"No, I merely watched the news." Ozpin finished, and turned around showing that in one of his hands, he is holding a scroll showing the news about the incident. "I have already informed everyone in my group about this incident and I may have found the way to handle this predicament." Ozpin informed the team.
"What is it?" RWBY all said, wanting to know the solution to the mess that has transpired.
"I am sending one of the teams with a huntsman escort to record the findings and to see if it should stay or be contained as possible." Ozpin answered, making RWBY gleam at the chance to see what beyond the portal, that they immediately ask him if they could do it.
"Look no further Ozpin, cause team RWBY..."
"Nope" Ozpin simply replied, devastating the quartet of huntresses, who were doing a super humiliating pose, why you may ask, it's so they avoid THE CUTENESS OF TERROR!, that Ruby may unleash if pushed beyond reason.
"But...but why" Ruby asked, heartbroken as if Ozpin ate the last chocolate chip cookie in cold blood
"I need a team that has experience, able to handle multiple threats, and most importantly, is capable to withstand friction between teammates." making RWBY, especially Weiss and Blake, as they were sure, aside from Sun and maybe Penny, that no one was around while the Chess conflict (As ruby calls it) was happening.
"How did you know about that." Blake asked, wondering if Ozpin was spying on them, supported by the fact that their headmaster was always the secretive, reserved type that not most would be able to know much about.
"I have my connections to understand any kind situation the kingdoms may suffer from." Ozpin coolly replied, not telling that Penny told her father/creator, who told Ironwood, who told Ozpin.
"Alright, so your not sending us, can you at least tell us who you're sending, pretty please with cherries on top." Ruby said, with big puppy-dog eyes cute enough to warm up an unfeeling machine.
"That would be us, if you want to know." Team RWBY turned around to see another team of students, with one being a fair-skinned girl, with short dark brown hair, wavy locks on one side, wearing a long, cocoa colored shirt, long, dark brown trousers, two brown belts with bullets, one of which has a gold crosshairs buckle, high heeled leather boots, a beret, aviator and a black shoulder bag with gold studs.
"Names Coco Adel." Coco introduced herself, with an air of confidence around her. Next, they a dark skinned boy with messy copper hair, wearing an orange vest, black jeans, and brown shoes, he appears to blind, given on how his eyes look, his arms have multiple scars on them, where they come from is to any of their guess. His weapon of choice appears to be bronze gauntlets with a blade, barrel, and trigger being part of it. Ruby looked at the weapon with excitement, but tried to check the guys blindness by waving a hand in front of him, getting a face of irritation as a response.
"Okay one, my name is Fox Alistair, two, I'm not blind, I just look like this." Fox replied to Ruby checking his eyes. The third was a familiar timid rabbit faunus, who instead of wearing the school uniform, is now donning a short, long-sleeved brown jacket with golden spaulders and vambraces and a semi-translucent undershirt, brown pants with black leggings and is holding a box and a camera . To anyone who doesn't know who this is, it's Velvet Scarlatina.
"Hello, RWBY, nice to see you again." the timid rabbit said in response to seeing RWBY again. And lastly, a 7 feet tanned giant, wearing a long short-sleeved robe over a black muscle shirt, brown pants, black-and-green boots, and his left arm has a 5-layer sode. His weapon, a two-toned, dual-edged sword as tall as the giant, that ends with a barb-like hook.
"Greetings team RWBY, I am Yatsuhachi Daichi, Velvet told me much great things about you." Yatsu said and bowed, making RWBY go about telling that it's no big deal, and Velvet pretty embarrassed.
"Team CFVY ready for our mission" Coco addressed, till she noticed Ruby and Yang laughing.
"What's so funny." Fox asked the sisters.
"It's just that, now we know another reason why Ozpin chose team CFVY." Yang snickered, before full out laughing along with Ruby and Coco, who understood the laughter, before calming down.
"Now that we got the formalities out of the way, lets get back to business, what do we do with the portal, headmaster." Coco questioned.
"We have your team and the escort..." Ozpin began until Yang cut him off.
"Wait, we know who the team is, but who's the escort?" Yang wondered when another voice popped up, a rather quick voice.
"That would be me, miss Xiao Long." answered the hyperactive, coffee drinking, Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck, standing behind everyone.
"Really? I didn't think your the 'dangerous missions guy', shouldn't they get Goodwitch or Port to be the escort." Blake asked, unsure why did they choose the history teacher over the combat and Grimm biology teacher.
"It's because I know remnant like the back of my hand, should we be transported anywhere in remnant, I will be able to find a way back to civilization as soon as possible. Does that answer your question miss Belladonna?" Oobleck answered, making RWBY understand why he is chosen for this quest.
"As I was saying, your team and Oobleck are going to be wearing cameras connected to everyone's television and scroll, so everyone knows whats on the other side, and survey the area so that the any of our ships can pick you up." Ozpin informed the group
"When do we begin the mission, Headmaster?" Yatsu asked, since they wonder if they have any time to prepare for any of this.
"Tomorrow night, so rest up and get ready for what's beyond that portal." Ozpin replied, as everyone got back to their rooms.
(RWBY Dorm Room)
"I can't believe we don't get to go" Yang whined, when she got into bed, saddened by the fact they weren't the ones to go through the portal, even though they witness the creation of it all.
"Well, they are older and more experienced than us." Ruby tried to reason with her sister, but she knew it was all for naught.
"Not to mention more friendly towards each other." Blake added, as though their dysfunctional ways may be subdued, they still have problems with each other from time to time.
"Still, we can always watch the journey into wherever it leads to." Ruby said, trying to keep seeing the positives of stuff.
"It hurts me a bit when I say this, but Ruby is right, we shouldn't be depressed over this, let's just watch them enter the portal." Weiss responded, much to Ruby's delight.
(Cinder and Co. room [anyone got an acronym for them, I appreciate it.])
While Cinder is plotting, and Mercury is playing some games on his scroll, when Emerald showed up, scroll in hand
"Cinder, you got to see this, a portal opened up in a destroyed White Fang base." Emerald announced, much to the shock of her teammates.
"Really?" Mercury doubted, looked at Emerald's scroll, and his eyes widened at the news featuring the arrested White Fang there, along with a mysterious portal showing up in the ruins. "Well shit, how this gonna effect everything?" the paraplegic assassin asked the somewhat fall maiden.
"At most not much, but think about this, when we destroy Beacon and Ozpin, we'll have grimm go there to ensure more destruction to what those idiots believe they can protect." Cinder answered, as she was sure that the incident won't do much to anything.
(RED Engineer's room)
Meanwhile, Engineer, Scout, Heavy, and Sniper were all busy freaking out over the portal, what would happen if any one, especially Hale would do if any of them found out about this.
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod, we are screwed, we're dead, and I'm too pretty to die, I didn't even do it with miss Pauling." Scout kept talking about stuff like that till Heavy slapped him to calm him down.
"SCOUT! SHUT UP!" yelled Heavy as he didn't need scout constant yammering after all this had happen. "Can you fix mess Engineer?" the Sandvich eater asked the Texan, who nodded his head no.
"Sorry man, I can make machines capable of teleportation and turrets that automatically target enemies, but this..." Engineer said referring to the portal "...is a whole other thing beyond comprehension. So this is what were gonna do, no tells anyone anything, especially not Hale, unless you want your behinds apart from where it should be, I'm checking the portal as much as I can, but I don't know where this could lead to, a volcano, outer space, or even inside someone as far as I can tell." Engineer explained to the three, who all nodded to the idea, till sniper remembered why there was a party in the base.
"What about the job, mate, you can't simply leave just cause you got something in your room, you'll end up like scout." The professional exclaimed.
"Yeah...wait, what was that last part again?" Scout questioned the Aussie assassin.
"I'm saying we know that you spank the monkey all the time, ever since we won against everyone, wanker." Sniper answered the Baseball lover, much to his confusion.
"Wait a minute, Soldier took my room after that happened, said he needed space for Zhanna... oh, um so that means we been hearing..." at this revelation, the four realized what was happening, much to the disgust of everyone, especially Heavy, trying to not picture what hey could be doing this whole time.
"Okay, aside from that truly terrifying thought, I guess I have to wait till our break which is in, WHAT! THE MORNING AFTER TOMORROW, THE HELL IS IN THEIR GOD DAMN MINDS, MAKING US WORK THIS LONG! Engineer roared at the new work hours.
"So, we still have problem til then, what do we do now?" Heavy asked, getting nothing from the others.
"We'll just...have to wait it out and hope for the best." Engineer sighed at the hole they have dug for themselves.
(Remnant: The night after)
Today, we're here to show what is beyond the portal, thanks to Beacon's second year students team CFVY, accompanied by doctor Oobleck. The portal as many of you know..." news reporter Cyril Ian continued as everyone in Remnant was getting ready to see what's past that glowy thing, teachers and students alike.
Meanwhile with team CFVY and Oobleck, as they are getting ready, wearing cameras, making sure they're pack full of survival stuff, etc. "Are we ready to go on this crusade, Team CFVY." Oobleck said, excited that he is making history alongside his students.
"As ready as we can be, professor." Coco replied for her team.
Everything seems to slow down as they made their way to the portal, wondering if they can be safe or even live wherever this takes them. When they finally managed to go past it, they see...
"A room?" Blake said, stupefied at this is where that leads to, until she saw something in the corner of the screen, something shiny.
"Maybe it's in a different kingdom, like Mistral or Atlas." Ruby suggested, though she still was confused on where the searching party is.
"Ozpin, can you hear me?" Oobleck called, testing if they can still communicate with the rest of the world.
"Yes Oobleck, I read you perfectly fine, so where are you at?" Ozpin suggested, not familiar with the interior of the room.
"If I have to guess, we're in an engineer's room, one of remarkable intelligence." Oobleck theorized, showing blueprints for machines such as an automated turret that locks on to targets, a machine that heals and refills ammo, and even devices capable of teleportation, and as the final piece of evidence was the sign 'ENGINEER' in red on top of the doorway as well.
Meanwhile Ruby was fantasizing about the turret, since it was a gun that stands and moves somewhat, just like a person, but without the fear of rejection. And while everyone was intrigued with the turret, the focus was primarily on the heal/ammo station and the teleporters, as not only would it would be helpful with health, but also making sure one would never run out of ammunition at all. 'I could just keep shooting my baby as long as I like' Ruby thought as if it was heaven that still needed cookie trees and milk rivers to be complete.
'We could turn even the greenest grunts into the most durable meat shields with that technology.' Cinder thought as it would require a lot of killing power to stop even one of them.
'Guess my skill isn't as special anymore.' Neo sign says after noticing the teleporter blueprints.
"That's impossible, unless it could harness the power of semblances to do all that, we're either dealing with a kidnapping madmen or an irrational dreamer."
Weiss said, believing that no such devices is capable and only in the realm of science fiction. "Come on ice queen, maybe he did figure this out, be nice to shoot without running out." Yang responded.
"I think I know what caused the portal." Fox pointed towards the ground beneath to see red and blue soda cans with an additional purple can, a sandwich, steak, fishcake, chocolate, milk, green fluid, what they hope is lemonade, weird looking bread with green lumps, and some destroyed machinery. Picking up the soda cans, Oobleck noticed something strange about said cans.
"Team, did any of you ever had a 'BONK! Atomic Punch'? Also does anyone know what radiation is?" the green haired coffee drinker asked, which got negatives from all of the other members. "Hmm...this soda, along with everything else here must be essential to the creation of the portal." Oobleck speculated before Yatsuhachi noticed something on the back of the can.
"Well, I now know that anyone would need 80 pounds of sugar from the sodas to make this work." Yatsuhachi stated, much to everyone's disbelief at the amount of sugar in all of those cans.
"That's all to make a portal? Whelp, time to make one of them and join the party." Nora joyously declared after seeing the seemingly easy instructions.
"No, Nora." Ren intervened by holding her back while still watching the video feed.
"Come on, why not? Don't you want to make a portal?" Nora complained, saddened that her best not together-together friend would betray her like this.
"One, there is still the machine parts, and two, I not letting you pee on the floor with a mess on top of it to make a portal that may not even appear." Ren explained, cool as one can be, much to Nora's dismay.
"Besides, who's gonna eat the pancakes I going to make if your gone?" Ren added to make the thunder girl happy, which obviously worked.
"Wait a minute Neptune, I just got an amazing idea, are you thinking it as well?" Sun asked his ironically aqua-phobic friend.
"You know it, on 1...2..." Neptune started before shouting their ideas at the same time.
"Atomic SSSN./Merchandise." Sun and Neptune said simultaneously, much to each others confusion.
"Atomic SSSN...yeah...that's exactly what I said." Neptune tried to cover up what he mentioned unconvincingly.
"Wait, why Atomic SSSN? We don't even know what that means." Scarlet told the banana loving leader.
"One, it sounds completely awesome, especially with our name; Two, Neptune already making the costumes for all of us." as Sun was still talking about reasons why they should call themselves that, Scarlet looked over to see Neptune working on the designs and making said costumes. "Don't try to fight it Scarlet, they'll probably do some other embarrassing stuff without us, and forget this whole atomic SSSN thing." Sage stated, hoping that he is right.
"Hey guys, look at this." Fox said as he was outside the room with everyone else following behind. On their way they found more rooms in a hallway with a number 55, each with a red symbol belonging to a 'SCOUT' (a shoe with wings), a 'SOLDIER' (a rocket), a 'PYRO' (a flame), a 'DEMOMAN' (a weird bomb with spikes all around it), a 'HEAVY' (a fist), a 'MEDIC' (a medical sign), a 'SNIPER' (a cross hair), and a 'SPY' ( a knife), and they check the engineer's room to see it has a symbol of a wrench.
"WHAT!, how come this joker has the same symbol as mine." Mercury questioned upon noticing the scout's symbol being similar to his. " Maybe it's a relative of yours, Merc." Emerald soon regretted that possibility at the thought of dealing with two Mercury's instead of one. "Can't be, the only other Black I know is my dad and he's dead." Mercury stated at the green thief.
"Wow, look at that, they got two explosive people to...uh, what do they do, fearless leader?" Nora asked the knight. "Obviously it's a war if it's involving soldiers." Jaune said, feeling smart about that.
As team CFVY and Oobleck continued the search, they soon found themselves behind a man who looks extremely buff and is wearing shorts and a hat with teeth around it, standing next to a woman wearing purple and glasses surrounded by armies of purple robots, that seem to sound like an old engine and look really rough compared to the atlesian knights, who all look like 9 different people. The man turned around to see them and look at the purple woman.
"Miss Pauling, do you know these gents and sheilas?" The buff man asked in a strange accent. "Uh...no, may I asked what your doing here?" The now named miss Pauling requested the group, who looked at each other before Oobleck, being the escort told them of who they are. "Greetings, I am Doctor Oobleck and this is team CFVY from Vale, may I ask, where in remnant are we." the doctor stated, before noticing the two confusion. "Vale? Remnant? Where's that?" Miss Pauling asked, much to everyone's shock.
"Here's a map of Earth, tell me where is this 'Vale' at." Hale said as he pull's out a map of 1970's Earth (freaking them out even more.) in a unusually act of kindness, probably because he wants to find the most exclusive and dangerous beasts and punch them to death or submission, preferably the first one.
"Where's Sanus, Anima, Solitas, or Menagerie, I don't see them anywhere on that map." Weiss said, unable to comprehend the buff man's map.
"It can only mean...THE PORTAL GOES TO ANOTHER WORLD! Ruby yelled, awed at the thought of another world, one that could have more weapons for her to love.
"N...n...no way that's possible, can it even happen?" Yang stammered at what her cute rosebud of a sister said about a new world.
"This isn't right, I don't see it anywhere on this." Oobleck said, as he and CFVY try to locate the kingdoms, but there's nothing like it there, making Pauling and Hale feel like there talking to a bunch of escaped mental patients, but before Hale could beat them with his Australian muscle, Miss Pauling decided to ask them a question. "How did you get here?" Miss Pauling asked the group. "By a portal in your engineer's room." Coco answered. "Which number?" Pauling continued to questioned the group. "55" Velvet responded, hoping they don't have to fight everything in the room, especially not the buff guy. "Red or Blue?" Pauling "Red" Fox answered, scaring the shit out of the earthlings as they thought the no-pupil guy would be blind, not really seeing, to which Fox sighed and added "Yes, I look blind, but I'm not, can we get on with this."
"Right, would RED team number 55 please come to the surveillance room, there's something we need to talk about." Pauling spoke on the microphone, getting groans as if they were kids whose fun was cut off. There everyone could see what the two are looking at, a television, one that shows two groups of nine people, one blue and one red that all look like counterparts to another, trying to KILL each other by various means, by bullets, projectiles, fire, and/or melee, while accomplishing goals and having cameras all over to record their activities as if it was a reality show, and they weren't watching through one television, they were watching through hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of T.V.'s.
"My god, why would anyone do this, and for the cameras no less!" Blake exclaimed, wondering if this planet is filled with savages wanting to see blood just for entertainment. "Anyone else feel like wanting to stop them from doing this to our planet?" Yang inquired, getting yes nods for a response.
"How do they get all of those guys to look like those robots?" Nora wondered, as the ones on T.V. Are all nine different people, snapping out the rest of team JNPR out of their shock. "Perhaps by cloning?" "Magic is real there?" "A world full of twins?" Pyrrha, Jaune, and Ren all suggested to answer Nora's question, but they couldn't know which is right or if there's something else that responsible for the similar looking people.
"You monster, how could let people do this to each other and for what?!" Velvet yelled out of character, scaring the crap out of everyone, Hale included, as they thought a cute rabbit girl would be more passive and timid.
"Ummm...for profit?" Hale said before being attacked by CFVY and Oobleck, well attack is not best to describe the sensation that Hale felt, being more of slight pokes with a bit of a warmness as everyone tried to give it their all, but getting little to none results. Deciding not to kill them, he pulled out his pinky finger, and gently swung around, easily beating the shit out of the search party, before being put down again by the same finger. Though they were alive, the only reason they barely escaped fatal injuries being their auras protection, which is completely depleted.
Everyone gaped at how fucking strong he is, capable of defeating the team in less then ten seconds from the moment he choose to fight and with a single finger no less.
'How strong is this man, and are there more like as or even stronger than him?' Ironwood thought as even with his army, Atlesian knights and paladins, they would be barely handle this one guy, and would be definitely be defeated if more show up.
"First off mates, those guys are mercenaries, scum of the wastelands. Second they're cloned, so much that none of us know who the original ones. Third, they agreed to do this, it's on the bloody first line of their contracts, sure some of them can't read very well, but that doesn't change the point. And lastly they can come back, body, memories, all that good stuff people have." Hale told the recovering group, making sure that this was all just a big misunderstanding. Fearing that he may attack them and most definitely kill them, they agreed, after which one of the mercenaries came in, the first thing that they would notice about this guy is that...
"Man, is he scrawny." Yang said at the supposedly 'kill for money man' size and child-like face.
"Wait Yang, I think he's more of a speedster than a bruiser." Blake told the yellow dragon girl.
"Ohhhhh! What weapon do you guy's think he uses, maybe a rifle or a submachine gun, or who knows, I just want to KNOW!" Ruby joyfully yelled as even though they might be killers, It would mean that they would have a vast amount of weapons to do the job.
"If you don't calm down, you're not going to find out, you dunce." Weiss scolded Ruby, calming the reaper down from her weapon orgasm, who felt incredibly embarrassed about it.
"Hey Hale, who these guys, some sort of weird ass show?" The scrawny guy said in a different but still strange accent before noticing Coco. "Looking nice there, fashionista." He added as the fashion lover was happy to know that even in different worlds, they still have a sense of good fashion.
Next came what look to be a doctor of the medicinal profession, carrying a strange looking backpack-like object. "Vat is it Mr. Hale, I was getting ready to ubercharge, and vho are zese people?" The doctor asked in an another strange accent before noticing Velvet's rabbit ears and started testing to see if they're real, and to his amazement, they are.
"Uh...mister?" The timid rabbit asked the doctor as his examination made her nervous, thinking if the doctor would try to cut them off or something like that, when said doctor asked her a question. "Vere you born like zis, little girl?" he asked to which she nodded yes, causing him to go hysterical with joy. "Wunderbar, I cannot believe zis, a human with animal parts, oh how I envy you, I've always vanted to be born vith animal parts, you are a far superior being zan most I have seen on zis planet." He stated causing the people of remnant to just freeze at the man's words.
"H...h..e... he wants to be a faunus and considers them superior to humans." Blake stuttered as she can't believe that someone would actually admit to that ideology, not even one who from another world were apparently faunus don't exist, since the man's words hint that their world is just humans and animals.
"A man who believes that faunus are superior is one that I may spare." Adam said in his base as he seems to be enjoying the fact that there are humans who say these things.
"Who the hell is this man and how can we have more like him?" every faunus thought as he would be a figure of hope for the unity between humans and faunus.
"You really think so?" Velvet asked, with tears in her eyes and quivering lip as she sees this man as a heavenly, passionate, and caring being that loves everything and will always tries his hardest to defend them.
"Of course..." the doctor started, getting the bunny girl all joyful before he continued. ".., that's vhy I put animal parts on myself and my teammates to improve our capabilities und survival." he finished, making everyone stare at him in disbelief as this guy is the teams medical professional, someone who is supposed to heal the wounded, not use them as experiments.
"You're not serious about that, are you?" The doctor noticed the blind guy's eyes and started to examine them, much to Fox annoyance as he explain that he just look like this.
"He is, and those surgeries hurt like hell!" Scout shouted to answer Fox question, making everyone just back away from the...well they wouldn't exactly call him a doctor, more like a mad scientist, though it didn't faze the guy, as this was usual with the first time people meet him.
After the doctor, a sound was heard and a sharply dressed man wearing a balaclava suddenly appeared out of nowhere, surprising the team out of the fact that he just appeared like that.
"Ah Spy, I was vondering vhy vhere you vere." The doctor asked the now known Spy, who is now smoking a cigarette and look at the students.
"Why is there children here, and with weapons?" Spy ask in yet another strange accent seeing Fox's blades and Yatsuhachi's sword.
"Pardon me sir, but we are hunters, protectors of peace and justice from the grimm." Coco said with the air of confidence as it was true.
"Grimm?" The earthlings were confused by that word, making people freak out once again.
"There's no grimm there, that place must be paradise!" Ruby exclaimed at the thought there would be somewhere on Remnant that grimm would not exist at.
"No grimm, huh? Guess we'll have to put some there to balance it out then." Cinder said, seeing that a civilization without much grimm is just like Vacuo, a paradise that makes inhabitants lazy, making sure that when disaster strikes, it will destroy many.
"Monsters that attack our world and must be destroyed." Oobleck explained before Saxton got in front of his face.
"Monsters you say, like dangerous and wanting to rip you to shreds kind of monsters?" Hale asked as he always wanted fight the most vicious of beast without the interference or any interaction with hippies [ Except if it's to punch them to death for being hippies ], and hearing of an entire race of these 'grimm' that many would just let him deal with made him excited at the thought.
"Yes, if you would want to fight them..." Oobleck started before Hale cut him off.
"We'll talk about this after everyone shows up." Australia's hero told the coffee lover, as three more showed up, one wearing a construction helmet, overalls, a pair of goggles, and a glove; Another being a man that just screams 'If someone wants you dead, they call me'; and the third is...well they can't exactly say who it is, only seeing that it's wearing a flame-retardant suit, who upon seeing Velvet, immediately went to hug her and and stroke her hair and ears gently like a pet.
"Pyro! Let the...uh...little bunny girl go." The overall man told the now named pyro in a smooth, calm accent, who 'mmphed' a sentence that no one understands, before letting velvet go.
"Sorry about that mutton, its just that pyro likes cutsie stuff and fire." The professional man said in a accent similar Saxton's to velvet, as everyone looked at pyro to it playing with a match, rainbows radiating all around it.
"WOW, RAINBOWS!" Nora yelled at the sight of pretty rainbows coming from the pyro.
"I'm not sure it's a great idea to befriend a person who loves fire as much as rainbows Nora." Pyrrha said as she was unsure of this thing being with Nora and the havoc that would ensue soon after.
After the three, came a man that just sticks out from most, due to him only having one eye and appearing to be extremely drunk, holding a grenade launcher with one hand, and a bottle of beer in another, also having a glowing sword on his back.
"(Unintelligible gibberish)" The cyclops said in yet another strange accent before falling down unconscious.
"Just like Uncle Qrow, completely drunk, even on the job." Ruby reminisced all the times she and Yang found Qrow drunk and had to drag him around.
"You're kidding, right?" Blake asked, as Weiss look at the small reaper, aghast written all over her face as someone so child-like could be related to a drunk.
"BOMBS!" Nora shouted with glee upon seeing the grenades strapped to the drunk chest.
"A drunk handling explosives in a war, what could possibly go wrong." Blake sarcastically said in response to his behavior, quickly assuming he would be most likely to die first.
"Don't worry about him lads, he's just drinking to relax." The sword said. Wait...SWORD said, as the search group turn to the sword to see it glowing."What's the matter lads, ye look like ya saw a ghost."
"H...h..how can you talk?" Fox nervously questioned the sword, resulting in the sword laughing.
"I'm a sword that was bathed in the blood of many, rumored to have a cursed warriors soul inside by the ways of magic." The sword said in a loud storyteller like voice.
"Magic?" Oobleck wondered
"Yes, magic existed in this realm, travelers, though the closest source is from an annoying wizard that would probably speak incredibly dramatically and use bombs on you in multiple ways." the sword told the group
"Magic" Ruby and Nora whispered at thought of using magic to do stuff only capable with their imaginations, especially Nora, who would love to use bomb magic, even though she doesn't really know how to utilize magic bombs.
"And I thought our weapons were a bit unbelievable." Jaune joked, though Ruby looked at him with tears, until he took it back to stop her soul breaking tears.
After the drunk, came a man who's entire upper face is covered by a helmet.
"WHY IS THERE CHILDREN HERE?!, are they recruits for me to train?, Can they? " The soldier hoped as he eyed the kids and adult, wondering what kind of boot camp would work best.
"Uh... who are you?" Yatsuhachi asked, unsure if the guy could see him with the helmet
"Who am I?! I am the best goddamn soldier that the United states of America has ever created, making me the best soldier in the entire world, DO YOU UNDERSTAND, MAGGOTS?!" The now crazy guy yelled at Yatsuhachi, even climbing up to his face to yell at him more before a voiced yelled out from a distance.
"INCOMING" came in a behemoth of a man talking in a different accent, one of even greater height than Yatsuhachi, who ran in there with boxing gloves that have painted flames, and punched the soldier out of the green mountain of a huntsman.
"Why are babies..." the large man stopped upon noticing Yatsuhachi. "...and bear person doing here?" he finished as the soldier got up from his punch out.
"YOU COMMIE TRAITOR, I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WOULD BACKSTAB ME (SCHUNK) *DYING SCREAM*" Soldier screamed as he falls over, dead, the reason; a butterfly knife in the back, the killer; Spy, everyone not of earth; shocked.
"No, that would be me Soldier." Spy said, not showing much concern that he killed someone.
"How could he do that, to his own teammate no less?" Ruby said, shocked at Spy's actions, sure the helmet guy had to be stop before a fight ensued, but not like this.
"Why did you do that?" Velvet cried as Spy paid her no attention, and turn to the doctor.
"Medic, can you bring the idiot back." Spy asked the Medic, as he activates his medigun, and brings Soldier back to life, amazing everybody at this medical achievement, that even the best doctors of Remnant can only dream of doing, revive the dead.
"Amazing, with this medicinal device, you can revive the recently fallen to put more pressure in battle." Weiss awed at this otherworldly device.
"What?" Ruby asked, not really understanding what her partner said.
"She said that the machine can bring people, making it hard to keep them down, Ruby." Blake translated to her young leader.
"Ohhhhhh. WOW! That means one of us should definitely use it." the red reaper exclaimed, already thinking of battle strategies if one of them becomes a field medic.
"Ahhhh, what was I yelling about again?" Soldier asked Medic, as he had case of death amnesia.
"You were screaming about your dreams of a utopia." Medic lied, as he didn't want to repeat all this.
"Ah that's right, an America where everyone can have as much freedom as they want, and be able to use as many guns as they like to kick as much ass as they like." Soldier sighed, as he, to this day never got to see this perfect America, possibly due to all those hippies and racists, blind to the idea that anyone can kick ass with a gun in hand, a love hotter than lava for freedom and war.
"Right then, now that everyone's here , lets talk about why your here. See those guys over there?" Hale pointed to the new guys. "Apparently they came from your sections engineers room." at this information, everyone look at the Engineer, who is now sweating and looking nervous, as well as Scout, Sniper, and Heavy.
"Well, Mister Hale, there might have been an accident due to the tomfoolery that may have happened..." he stopped when Hale shook his hand, while the gesture is suppose to be harmless, the act perform be a man like Saxton is like being inside an active jackhammer during a massive earthquake, so yeah it was painful, after the handshake was done, Engineer look more liquid than solid.
"There was two reasons why I shook your hand." Hale said to the critically injured man as the Medic healed his injuries. "One, for accidentally creating a portal without telling me, and two, to congratulate you for leading me to a world full of dangerous beasts that no one would try to protect."
"You're welcome, sir." Engineer said with pain as a handshake with the man is not something you can just walk away unharmed.
"And now that's been taken care of, lets discuss this in my office, shall we?" Saxton ask the group, who agreed and went to his office at the top of 'MANN CO.' ,a business that uses the slogan 'WE SELL PRODUCTS AND GET IN FIGHTS'.
"With a slogan like that, I wouldn't mind getting their stuff." Yang said, as a company that's gets into fights would be quite a fun place for her.
"Are you going to get stuff just cause the slogan, what about the quality and what do they even sell?" Weiss retorted at Yang wanting to go somewhere for something as idiotic as a slogan.
When they reach Hale's office, they are greeted to the sight of stuffed animals, portraits of him and others, two of which look like Hale himself, perhaps they're relatives, and comic book covers of Hale hunting various animals in various ways; which include killing a bunch of 'Indonesian Berzerker Sharks' with a spear while surfboarding, Saxton with a bunch of young girls holding torches ready to burn some bears, Hale about to stomp a turtle holding a puck in front of shuffle boarding elders, and fighting a lion while getting a haircut at a barbershop. When they got to Saxton's desk, the man himself put some steaks and eggs on it, bewildering them, thinking if this was some sort of traditional greeting or something, until they heard sizzling, meaning the desk is also a stove, one that is on and should not be touch, unless you're food that taste great on a stove, then touch it all you want.
"Is that desk a stove?" Fox asked the hero of Australia.
"Yep, perfectly heated to 135 degrees for all of your cooking, anyone up for some food?" Saxton offered , to which the group replied as the food does look really good.
"I didn't know this was possible." Nora said, her breath knocked out of her at this discovery and the fantasy of having a business with that desk/stove.
(Nora's Fantasy)
Here at Nora Inc., where they make stuff, we see the C.E.O. And founder of the company, Nora Valkyrie looking over the workforce, with Jaune as the floor manager, Pyrrha being the secretary, and Ren being her assistant.
"Ren, what's my schedule for today?" The C.E.O. asked her lovely assistant
"Well Miss Valkerie, Today we have a meeting with the SDC President Weiss Schnee and Rose weaponry and bakery owner Ruby Rose in three hours.
"Okay, clear out the next three hours for pancakes." Nora ordered, to which Ren obliged and got out a pitcher of pancake mix, pour it all over the desk and flipped it once that side is done. "Thank you Ren." Nora said as she got ready to eatthe giant pancake, while Ren got ready to make more pancakes.
(End of fantasy)
"What's she thinking about?" Juane asked Ren
"Something about the desk and panckes." Ren responed as most thoughts on Nora's mind are about pancakes.
"Right then, as you can see by my office and overall maniless, I am a man of hunting dangerous animals from around the world, and your world has monsters that are as pesty as rabbits in australia so lets get to business." Saxton annonced, confusing the group and making velvet nervous of the simile
"Uhhhhmm...what?" Oobleck asked
"You see, I want to go to your world so I can battle these 'grimm' as you call them, but I feel as though I have to give you something in return, so here's my deal, seeing as they caused all this, I'll give you those mercanies as help for whatever it is you need help with, along with movies and comics showing the past years they have been here." Saxton proposed, to which Oobleck thought about, so he called Ozpin.
"Should we accept the deal Ozpin?" The doctor asked the headmaster
"Yes." Ozpin answered, suprising everyone that he would want, dangerous, illeterate mercanaries to do who knows what.
"Alright Hale, we accept your terms." Oobleck said, much to Hale's enjoyment
"Bidwell, tell the mercanaries that they're going on a field trip." Saxton asked his assistant.
Alright, I know i'm incredibly late, but I got sucked into tf2, so yeah not a good excuse.
Anyway my questions are still in need of answering, and thanks to Doctor Homocide 157 for answering my questions, they will be noted.
