I do not own RWBY or any Roosterteeth assets though AN: the choices presented in the first chapter will be added in chapter 3. That's so I can still write what I want. I'm reserving the choices for important things like what to do with the ruins.

Qrow doesn't under stand this…. Machine, it carries itself like a human but it doesn't really act like one. It looks like it's sleeping on a bed, ironwood keeps lots of secrets. Qrow decides to ask ironwood about penny. Qrow flies to the opposite side of the ruins then he deactivates semblance. Opening his scroll he opens his contacts. Scrolling through the list he find the generals contact.

"Ironwood I need to know something." Bluntly said Qrow

" Hello Qrow what did you want to know." Replied the general

"Did you have any other androids like Penny?" Qrow asked

"No. What did you find?" Inquiries Ironwood

"Its better if I show you. Can you hold for a minute?" Asks Qrow

"Fine but do it quick." Requests ironwood.

Ironwood could hear Qrow shuffling his way around structures that he could on the guess what that man has gotten himself into. Qrow finally stops and switches camera to the rear and points its a…. Altesian Knight?!

" Qrow this better not be a elaborate prank." Vexed ironwood

Qrow ignores the generals agitation to the situation. " no jimmy this isn't a joke and I don't think it's altesian knight."

James raises an eyebrow. " why would you assume that?"

Qrow smiles and says " because I watched it pick up dust and watched it glow in its hand."

The general give a surprised look. " did you try to communicate with it?"

Qrow puts on a poker face and says "I don't think it knows I'm here."

The good general ponders of this information. "Could you try to talk to it. Maybe then you could find out we're it came from." Requests ironwood.

" what are you going two dozen?" Inquires Qrow

"I'm going to visit Dr. Pollendina." Bluntly replies the general.

Qrow end the call and proceeds to observe the metal being he watches how he move the corpse anyway from an old blacksmith shop. It doesn't just throw the bone out it takes the time and care to gently move the bodies show the most respect he's seem a machine give someone.

Qrow decides that he's spied on it long enough that he can figure out how to talk to it. He gets up and jumps down the side of the building he was on. He takes a detour around the town so the robot could see him coming.

Rust was enjoying nature as he cleaned up the old blacksmith shop the. The bird are chirping, dear can be seen grazing. But then he sees a strange name obviously drunk walking towards him. Rust could tell he was armed and possibly dangerous.

"Can I help you sir?" Inquiries Rust

The drunk stops and takes a swing from a flask. "You're pretty far from home droid."

"My name is Rust you good for nothing drunk." Retorts rust obviously not liking to be called a droid.

The drunk smiles and says "well then Rust my name is Qrow." He extends his hand to shake rust hand. Rust turns away from the extended hand and continues what he was doing.

This surprised Qrow greatly. The robot openly ignored him in favour of moving dead bodies. But he did get a good look at the gouge from what must have been a Beowulf's claws. He could see the interior of his shoulder. The interior seemed be made up of different components from wires to artificial muscles.

"What happened to your shoulder?" Qrow asks Rust.

"A strange black wolf like creatures attacked me one of them managed to seek around and slashed my shoulder." Replied Rust

Qrow raises a eyebrow. "They are called Beowulfs a species of Grimm." Answered Qrow.

"I can leave you out here on your own if you don't know what a Grimm is." Qrow continues.

Rust looks Qrow dead in the eye . Even though his eye is artificial he can seen just how annoyed he is with Qrow. Then rust says "I don't need a wandering drunk telling me what is best for me."

Qrow frowned then sighed. "You sound like someone I know. And I'm a full time Huntsman and part time Drunk just so you know."

Drawing his blade holding it in front of him. Rust looks at him with a bored look. Then he draw his knife.

Qrow smirks at his choice of weapon a small knife against his great sword. He watches Rust hold the knife in a reverse grip. He could see that this robot was definitely combat ready. He charge Rust hoping to get a quick victory but his blade only meets dirt. He looks around from the robot but he can't seem to find him. Then everything went black.

Rust was just as confused as Qrow after he dodged the great sword he watched Qrow get up and looked around like Rust disappeared. He looks down and is shocked his hand is see though. In a act of quick thinking he decided to incapacitate Qrow and and dump him some outside of the ruins. He's definitely going to need to practice this interesting ability.

A few hours later

Qrows groaned as he started to regain consciousness. His head felt like a Goliath tap-danced on his skull. He wondered why he was in a forest and not in the ruins. Then it came back to him Rust had some how escape his field of view and hit him over the head. Qrow decides that just spying on the robot would be better. Who know he might find a way to convince him to come with him.

3 days later

Rust is fascinated by his stealth ability. He could already imagine the countless ways he could prank people with this particular ability. As Rust deactivates his cloak his stealth ability. He decides to explore more of the ruins. Entering one building he find it was a former clothing store. On the counter there was a old brown cloak with a reddish-orange coloured emblem of a wolf on the back. Rust picks it up and drapes it over his shoulders. He felt like a assassin wearing the cloak.

Walking to the next store he find that it sold the same type of crystals that his rifle uses. Some of the crystals were a different colour then the one in his rifle. Rust takes all the red crystals he could find. On the way out he see a pamphlet entitled Dust for Dummies. Grabbing it with his free hand he take it with him back to his hideout.

"So these crystals are called dust." Rust says to no body.

While Rust was reading the pamphlet he was loading his rifle. Which now had only ten vacant slots. While he was in the shop he hear what sounded like a bear. Seeing that the sound was coming from the front rust take his rifle and goes around back to deal with this intruder. Activating his ability he readies his rifle. Rust was confused it had the same colour scheme as the Beowulfs but it had the shape of a bear. Rust makes a loud whistling sound to get the Grimms attention.

Rust deactivates his stealth ability and fires at the head of the creature. It started to shrink in pain as the magma like substance seep into its eyes. Rust feeling some pity shoves the barrel in it exposed belly and fired where a bears heart should be. It died a few seconds later. He watched in amazement as the body disintegrates. He didn't see this with the Beowulfs, he was to busy tiring to get here to the ruins to spare a second glance. Rust decides he's spent enough time staring at empty space. He decides he's done enough for today seeing how the Suns setting he head for the shops back room to start his recharge/sleep mode.

A few hours later

Rust is awaken by his internal systems sensor it detected movement outside of the shop. checking his internal clock which reads two in the morning. Rust activates his stealth mode and arms his rifle. Out side he could see human like creatures. They all had a blood red symbol of a carnivore with three scars going through it. Rust activates his stealth ability and observes the group keeping his rifle at the ready. He notices the a red haired man wearing a masks and had horns of a bull and a black haired girl with a bow on her head

The redhead climbed on top of a makeshift podium. "Brothers and sisters of the Whitefang listen to me!" Commanded the redhead with a strong voice.

"We are tired of seeing our Faunus brothers and sisters being pushed around by humans!" Said the redhead. Many in the audience nodded in agreement. "We will strike back at the humans and avenge our brothers." He continued earning cheers from all but Rust and the black haired girl.

Black was concerned with Adam was getting more violent and arrogant. The Whitefang doesn't seem to care about that though. Every one seems to have itchy trigger fingers. Adams not even helping with that he is literally encouraging it. "Well as long as we don't kill people we should be fine." The words barely audible.

"Question!" Said a steely voice. Blake used her eyes and ears to try and locate the origin of the voice. It continued "What about the innocent men, women, and children who don't attribute to your people's suffering?"

Adam looked very angry at this question. " there are no good humans they all deserve to be punished."

On top of a old building a figure materializes before everyone's eyes. Since they were all Faunus they could only make out glowing eyes. "Well then leave my town. This place is my home I will not harbour terrorists in this place." Commanded the being

Out of anger Adam draws wilt and blush. "Then make us." He commanded

Disappearing it says "as you wish."

There was a unnerving silence that lasted only a few seconds before the the being reappears with a really odd rifle. It looked like I had quills on it. Various lines on its body glowed red. Everyone watched as the rifle fired a reddish orange bolt of energy at The bull Faunus. Adam in turn raised his sword and absorbed the energy. Black gasped Adam did manage to absorb most of the attack but his blade melted to the point that all that was left was the determined that the energy that was fired was most likely high grade dust. Blake remembers hearing of a prototype weapon was stolen from a privately owned weapons lab. She believed that this story was false since there was not enough evidence to support the weapons existence.

Adam Taurus is furious at this stupid human for destroying wilt in front of the white fang. His vision was going red all he could think was kill. He charged at his opponent with every intent to kill him. But all he felt was the searing pain of plasma burning his right arm off. He fell only a foot from his target.

Black watched in horror as Adam charged this person only to loose his right arm to blind rage. But she was the other combatant leaned down and examined his wounds then he take blush with a metal hands and before all those gathered snap the gun in half.

He looks up and reveals a face that of a android. " I apologize for the damage but remember I give you all the chance to leave in one piece. Let this fool be a example to you all. All of you can make a choice, attack me or leave in peace." The android stated.

It turns to leave. "You monster!" Yells Blake

It laughs "And you're the one assisting a plan that involves terrorism so if I'm a monster the you are truly the brothers and sisters of the Grimm. Not a Faunus as say you are." It retorts

This struck Blake in the heart. And those of many present that night. Here they were calling a android who beat one of there own in fair combat. When they originally came here to plan the vengeance for the Faunus mistreated by humans.

"Blake we need to leave if he is right them what should we do?" The lieutenant asks.

She could feel the everyone desire to kill or run and hide. Blake looks at the android who is still ready to take on the Whitefang if they tried to attack him. She could feel his emotion and at the same time the lack of emotions. It is as if he can turn his emotion off when ever he wants. She sighs "we are moving out leave nothing of ours here." She commanded loud enough for all in attendance to hear.

She watched as the android left. Showing complete trust in her words. Even though he didn't says anything to offend the Faunus she couldn't get rid of her new found distaste for robot and androids alike.

AN: Ahhhhhhh I love justice arm for a arm. I originally planned on letting Rust stab Adam serval times and maybe take a eye but loosing a arm sounded better. Just so you know yes rust favourite rifle shoots plasma, the bolts themselves are heavy and moderately fast easy to side step if you have good reflexes. Bad if you're a arrogant bull Faunus with a thin metal sword. Yes Adam did absorb the initial burst but the laws of physics apply to the metal blade. Much like a bull, Adam was to focused on Rust to care about a few plasma blots flying at him. The breaking of blush was to give a message to all those present. But they didn't know he's easy to kill if have enough cannon fodder.

Please review and fav.
