Chapter 2: Don't Get Me Started

Outpost 17-B: "Valhalla" 2554

POV: Teams RWBY and JNPR

Ruby opened her eyes only to find her team and JNPR staring at her, which she was startled at.

"Ah! What happened?" asked Ruby

"Nora decided to take the teleporter and tinker with it." Ren stated, while glaring at Nora.

"Hey, they were taking forever." Nora claimed

"Whatever, do you guys know where we are?" Jaune chimed in

Both teams looked around, they were not in Blood Gulch, instead they were in a large canyon, overlooking a large lake. On both sides were two bases with a huge spire on top that let out a pulse of energy every minute. A waterfall ran down the cliff side near one of the bases, and flowed into a river that ran out into the lake. Behind the teams was huge wall that seemed to be built into the canyon itself, and a large ship was seen crashed into ground. But the weirdest thing was that there was some snow in some places, even though it was warm outside.

RWBY, and JNPR looked in awe, trying to figure out where they were.

"This place is beautiful!" cried Ruby

"I have to agree with Ruby on this one" Pyrrha said

Just then, the two teams noticed three soldiers coming out of one of the bases, a red one, a maroon one, and an orange one. They all carried firearms, and were walking casually into the middle of the canyon. Teams RWBY and JNPR were hiding behind some some rocks overlooking the soldiers. Just then the three stopped and the red soldier walked up to a hill overlooking one of the bases and finally spoke:

"Attention Blue Team! This is the Red Team! We are here to destroy you…"

Team JNPR stared blankly at the soldiers, wondering what they were doing until Jaune finally spoke.

"Who are these guys? he asked

Weiss facepalmed, while Yang started giggling, and Blake just smirked. Ruby then turned to

Jaune and smiled

"You heard him Jaune, that is the Red Team."


POV change: Red Team

A few minutes ago…

Another day was beginning for Red Team, it had been about a year since they blew the lid on Project Freelancer, and received their new base. Since then they ran their basic drills, restored power to their base, installed a state of the art hologram chamber, and had been spying on a lone Blue soldier. Dexter Grif, one of the soldiers, was sleeping in his bunk when he was awoken by the sound of a shotgun going off.

"What the hell?!" Grif shouted

"Wake up dirtbag," Sarge ordered, "we're going over to Blue Base to analyze the threat."

"Do I have to? Grif groaned, and Sarge cocked his shotgun, and pointed it at him.

"Fine, I'll get up." Grif said

Grif got out of his bunk, picked up a battle rifle, and followed Sarge out of Red Base, and towards the coastline of Valhalla. There they met up with another soldier in maroon armor.

"Nice work at waking up Grif sir!" Simmons said as the two walked towards him.

"Thank you Simmons! Now let's destroy those dirty Blues!"

Before they could do anything else, a large bright light engulfed the canyon and then disappeared.

"What the fuck was that?!" shouted Simmons

"Who cares," Sarge said, " it probably came from Blue Base, remember they've been working on something."

"By them you mean Him, right?" Grif said

"What?" Sarge replied, a little confused "The girls?"

"Him, Caboose! He's the only Blue soldier over there." Grif hissed

"Oh, right." Sarge replied, "Let's go!"

"Wait, what did you mean by 'the girls'?" Simmons's asked

Sarge gave the two soldiers a blank stare, "You know, Team RWBY."

Simmons and Grif's eyes widened, and realized what he was talking about.

"Oh them? I almost forgot about those four." Grif said

"Whatever, come on let's get moving." Sarge ordered

The trio then started walking towards Blue Base. Eventually they made it to the middle of the canyon, where Sarge then walked up to the top of a hill and shouted:

"Attention Blue Team! This is the Red Team! We are here to destroy you…"


POV change: Teams RWBY and JNPR

RWBY, and JNPR were still spying on the soldiers from a distance, and as the red one was talking JNPR began asking questions.

"These are the guys you were talking about?" Ren asked

"Yep, they're goofy as hell." Yang replied

"They do seem nice." Pyrrha added

They then hear the red soldier swear and Nora finally spoke,

"And with that language, they're definitely not Atlas."

"So who are those three?" asked Jaune

Yang pointed to the red soldier, standing on the hill, "The red one is named Sarge, he's the leader of Red Team. He comes up with some of the funniest ideas we've ever seen."

Ruby then pointed to the maroon soldier. "That's Simmons, he's basically Sarge's 'number 2'. He can be a little shy from time to time."

"He's also a total suck up." Yang added

"YANG!?" Ruby yelled

"What? Its true." Yang replied

Blake then chimed in, "I think Grif would use the word 'kiss-ass'."

"I gonna guess Grif is the yellow one?" Nora asked

"One, yes he is, and two his armor is orange not yellow you dolt!" Weiss hissed

"Geez, calm down Weiss." Jaune said

"Calm down!? You want me to calm down!? They're bunch of stupid idiots!" Weiss snapped

"That's a little harsh." said Pyrrha

"Hmph." Weiss muttered

"Who's the blue one?" Ren asked

Team RWBY stared at her, confused at what she was talking about.

"Blue one?" said Blake

"Duh? The blue one running out of the base. It looks like he's heading for that crashed ship over there." Nora replied

Both RWBY, and JNPR looked out to see a blue soldier running from the other base, and out into the canyon. His armor was the same design as Red Team's but his helmet was different. He had an assault rifle attached to his back and was carrying a small crate.

Ruby smiled warmly, along with Blake and Yang, while Weiss just scoffed, and said:

"Oh, that one. I forgot about him."

"Caboose!" shouted Ruby, but unfortunately for her, he didn't hear he


POV change: Caboose

For about a year, Michael J Caboose had been the only remaining member of Blue Team. Church was sort of dead, and Tucker was nowhere to be found. But that didn't stop him from being childish. Ever since being allowed to live in Valhalla, Caboose began secretly working on a project that he kept to himself. But first, he had to go get some parts from the crashed ship. As he was about to leave the base, he noticed a bright light that engulfed the canyon. Caboose then looked up, as he had mistaken it for the sun.

"Neat." he said

The blue soldier then made his way happily to the crashed ship. After picking up some parts, he noticed that Red team was nearby, curious he decided to strike up a conversation with them.

"... do you want me to help you subtract one from five? I know that's hard for you." Grif said to his maroon companion.

"Shut up." replied Simmons

"Hey guys." said Caboose

Both Grif and Simmons turn around to see the blue soldier standing right behind him.

"What are doing here?" asked Simmons

"Just getting parts from the crashed ship, what are you guys up to?" he replied

"We're deciding whether or not kill you, and wipe out your team forever." Grif said casually

"Oh, that sounds tough...do I get a vote?" said Caboose

"Wha- no! Go back to your base, stop wandering around during your defeat!" Simmons threatened

"Okay bye." replied Caboose in his usual happy tone

"And what are you working on?" asked Simmons as Caboose ran off

"Still not telling you!" he replied

As Caboose ran off, Sarge returned from the hill, he had been on a call their Command to get some information on defeating the Blues.

"Hello? Hello! They hung up on me!" he said

"What happened?" asked Simmons

"Command said they know nothing about the Blues, no records at all." Sarge replied

Simmons the remembered something, "Huh? Oh. We deleted it remember, from Command's database."

"We did?" muttered Sarge, "We did! I remember now. Boy, we just 'Yang'd there."

Grif and Simmons froze at what Sarge just said.

"Uh, Sarge is something wrong?" Grif asked

"What do mean, dirtbag? Sarge replied

"You've been acting weird." said Simmons

"No I haven't."

"Sarge spill it!" the two hissed

"Alright fine, don't get your pansies in a bunch. It's been over two years and we've heard nothing from Team RWBY."

The two soldiers had to agree with Sarge on this one. It had over two years since they seen the four teens. They actually remembered the day when Command questioned them on the appearance of Team RWBY in Blood Gulch. Instead of telling them the truth, they said that it was a teleporter malfunction. Surprisingly, Command bought it, and immediately left. Despite this, they were still worried, Sarge saw them as "honorary members" of Red Team, Simmons just liked having them around, while Grif wished that Yang was with them so they can pull a few pranks on their friends.

"Don't worry Sarge, I'm sure they're alright." said Simmons

"Are you sure?" asked Sarge

"Hell yeah. In fact, if they were here right now, I'm pretty sure they say-"

"Yo! How are things Yanging!" a voice said

"Wow Simmons! That was nice Yang impression. Have you been practicing?" asked Grif

"Uh, guys that wasn't me." said Simmons

Red Team froze. They only knew one other person who would say that. Slowly, they turned around, and came face to face with Team RWBY. Next to them was another group of kids.

"Holy shit." Grif replied, smiling under his helmet.
