The Idiot and Freelancer in Remnant
Meanwhile back with the Reds and Blues and Carolina.
"What the fuck do you mean by their missing?!" Tucker slammed his fist towards the base's wall. They were currently in their living room, talking about the duo's disappearance.
"It doesn't make sense, where would they go and how?" Carolina questioned.
"I don't fucking know!" Tucker slammed his fist towards the wall again.
"Jesus Tucker, calm the fuck down." Grif told the teal/aqua/cyan soldier. Tucker grabbed Grif by the throat.
"CALM?! How the fuck do you expect me to be calm about this?!" He said, drawing his energy sword.
"Put Grif down Tucker!" Carolina commanded.
"Now now, let's not come to conclusions." Sarge said, smirking underneath his helmet, blocking Carolina with his arm.
.
.
.
.
Tucker dropped Grif down on the floor and sheathed his energy sword. Sarge was grumbling something under his breath.
"Alright let's think, when was the last time anyone has seen Caboose or Washington?" Carolina tried to assess the situation. Simmons spoke up.
"I remember him trying to find Caboose, I told him I saw him behind the base." Sarge cocked his shotgun.
"Simmons! What's the big idea giving intel to the enemy?! Drop and give me thirty!"
"But sir! We're not really enemies anymore, are we?"
"That's an order soldier!" Sarge shot, barely missing Simmons, who began doing his push-ups.
"We really need to update on this whole Red vs Blue stuff." Grif complained.
"Stay focused! Who was behind the base besides those two?" Donut raised his hand.
"Ooh! Lopez was working on something there!" Carolina looked towards the Spanish robot, then at Donut again.
"Donut, how's your Spanish?" Donut thought for a moment.
"In all honesty, it's better, but still not 100%." Carolina sighed, figuring she'll have to translate it herself.
"It'll have to do," She looked at the Spanish robot. "Lopez, what were you doing behind the base?"
"Sígueme" Lopez said as he walked out of the base.
"He said to follow." The Reds and Blues followed Lopez behind the base.
-LINE-BREAK-
They arrived towards the base's behind, and saw a white door connected to a lot of wires, which were connected to some sort of glowing orange core.
"What is this thing?" Grif asked.
"Una máquina de teletransporte"
"Donut?" Carolina asked the pin-err, lightish-red soldier.
"All I could understand was teleport and machine."
"Where does it take us?"
"No lo sé"
"He said I don't know." Tucker gritted his teeth.
"What the fuck do you mean by that?!"
"Todavía es un prototipo, por lo que la ubicación desconocida"
"He said It's a Prototype." Carolina sighed and thought for a moment,
"Well, if this door is the entrance, there must be another door wherever they are, right?"
"Si" Carolina sighed in relief.
"Alright let's go." Carolina opened the door…only to find nothing.
"What…?"
"Se necesita una semana para recargar." Donut gasped.
"Lopez! We can't take a week vacation to recharge at a time like this! Besides, aren't we already on vacation?" To which Lopez face palmed. Hard. Carolina rubbed her chin in thought for a moment.
"Week…recharge…Are you saying it'll take a week to recharge this door's power?"
"Si."
"Oh..! The door…right.." Donut said in realization." Carolina sighed in frustration.
"How many people can go through the door?" Carolina asked the Spanish robot.
"Si son lo suficientemente rápidos, tres." Donut gasped again.
"Lopez! This is not the time for a threesome!" Lopez face palmed harder than before.
"Oh god." Grif said.
"Tres…Rapidos….So we if we go fast enough, three people can go?"
"Si".
"Wow Carolina! You're even better at this stuff than I am!" Donut complimented.
"Last question, why did you make it?" Lopez took a deep…breath? Vent inhalation?
"¿Quieres saber por qué? Es porque los idiotas siempre me vuelven loco, todos ustedes son idiotas que quiero ver arder en el infierno para siempre. ¡Te odio a todos y todos son sólo un montón de IDIOTAS AMISTOSOS! Quería salir de este lugar, lejos de todo".
.

"He said he was bored."
"Suficientemente cerca" (Close Enough.)
"Alright, who's going with me to go to…wherever the hell this thing goes to?" A moment of silence passes by them.
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll go." Tucker said, bringing out his sword.
"Those two are my friends, and I've known Caboose longer than any of you guys…well, maybe not Donut." Tucker reasoned. Carolina looked towards the Reds.
"Lopez has to stay here to make sure this thing is still working, so, which one of you reds is coming with us?"
.
.
.
.
"I can't let the blues get out of my sight!" Sarge said.
"Actually Sarge, I think that someone intellectual should be the one to go." Simmons argued.
"Bullshit! You just want to go because there's nothing to do here." Grif exclaimed
"Why do you care? You're just gonna stay here and do nothing."
"I know. I'm not getting into another one of your adventures again."
"I wanna go! The dinosaurs are getting angrier now that Caboose is gone." Donut said.
"On second thought, another adventure wouldn't be too bad." Grif said, realizing that he didn't want to die as food.
The four Reds began to bicker amongst each other while Carolina just sighed.
"Alright, you guys have a week to make your decision."
(You guys can vote on my profile, I put this here since I don't think everyone reads the last part of chapters.)
"Tucker, go into the forest to find some food for us once we travel. I'll start maintaining our weapons in case we encounter hostiles."
"Got it." he said as he ran to the forest. Tucker may have been a joker all of the time, but when it came to his friends, he was serious.
"Alright. One week." Carolina said to herself.
'I hope they're not causing any trouble wherever they are.' She thought
-LINE-BREAK-
"Welcome to Beacon"
Washington smiled underneath his helmet and gladly shook his hand.
"Oh yeah, let's try keeping me and Caboose being from another dimension low profile for now. When can we discuss the...other matter?"
"Let us discuss the latter matter for another time. For now, I believe it's best I showed you where you'll be living for the time being." Ozpin said, standing up from his chair.
"Caboose, grab the door." Caboose did as he was told.
"Come with me." Before Washington and Caboose got into the elevator, Washington felt something tapping his helmet. It was Caboose's helmet, floating in midair. Washington turned around and was surprised to say the least, he looked at Glynda and noticed her pointing her riding crop towards it.
"Don't forget this." She said, dropping the helmet into Washington's hands, while Caboose was currently 'wowing'.
"Are you a wizard?" Glynda sighed.
"Ozpin is putting a lot of trust in you two. Don't disappoint him." She said sternly, ignoring Caboose's question, as the two soldiers walked into the elevator.
-LINE-BREAK-
They walked through the dorms, hearing the same whispers and murmurs they had heard before, before they finally arrived at their dorm room.
"You two will be staying here. Apologies if it's not to your standards." The room was relatively simple. There were a few bookshelves, a table, a bathroom, the part that confused Washington was why there were four beds.
"Why are there four beds?"
"The teams here at Beacon are formed into teams of four. This is a spare room I had that was just in case a team destroyed their dorm. It happens more often than you think."
"I shall send a team to your dorm shortly to give you and your partner a school tour." Ozpin said, Washington had an idea on who the team Ozpin was referring to was.
"Here." He said, giving Washington two scrolls, since Caboose was still holding the door. "In case you need to take, my number is there. I believe that you can figure out how to open it yourself." Washington clicked on the yellow button and the scroll opened.
"Woah! It's like magic!" Caboose said with starry eyes. Washington sighed, but smiled.
"I shall contact you when we can discuss our….business. I bid you two farewell." He said walking back to his office. Washington sat down on a random bed.
"Caboose, you can put the door down now." Caboose put down the door and sat down on the bed next to Washington's.
"Agent Washingtub?"
"Yes Caboose?" He drew Freckles from his back and placed it on his lap.
"Do you think you can make Freckles a sword?".
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"What?"
"Yeah! You saw Ruby use her giant side-sword thing AND gun! Can Freckles be a sword AND gun too?" Washington took of his helmet and rubbed his chin in thought. In this world, he could easily find the materials he needed, though he had no idea how to do something like that.
"If we can find the right person, maybe.".
"Yay! Hear that Freckles? You're going live your life's dream, to be a sword!"
"AFFIRMATIVE"
-LINE-BREAK-
Team RWBY were currently in the library playing Remnant:The Game. Ruby was Vale, Weiss was Atlas, Blake was Mistral, and Yang was Vacuo. Team JNPR was there too, but they were reading books on another table.
"Ruby Rose." Yang said ominously, she slammed down a card on the board. "I activate Sandstorm!" Ruby gasped.
"No!" She said with pleading eyes.
"Yes! Now all your ground defenses are useless, and when my Vacuo soldiers are in a sandstorm, they gain home field advantage to destroy your forces!" Ruby couldn't lose now, so she took a risk.
"I activate my trap card, Hailstorm! If I roll a perfect 7, the sandstorm disappears and my forces are doubled for the rest of the turn!"
"But if you don't, MY forces are doubled instead." Yang said with an evil grin.
"That's a risk I'll have to take!" Ruby rolled the dice.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It was a six.
Ruby face planted onto the table while Yang still had her evil grin.
"Looks like you're-" Weiss slammed a card down onto the table.
"I activate my trap card, Atlesian Dome!" Weiss suddenly said, shocking the sisters.
"If two of my opponents are currently in battle, I may create an Atlesian Dome to stop either forces from attacking for the next two turns." Ruby suddenly appeared in Weiss' arms.
"Thank you Weiss! My kingdom shall live another day!" She said, crying tears of joy. Weiss threw Ruby back to her chair.
"Hmph, I only did so because my Trade Route of Atlas would stop if Yang had control of Vale." Yang looked at Weiss with red eyes, which was immediately replaced with a smile.
"Alright, Ice Queen, if that's how you want to play it, then it's your turn." She said 'furiously' pointing at Weiss. Weiss was about to, draw until-
"Would Team RWBY please meet me outside of their dorm? Thank you." Ozpin said over the speaker. Team JNPR looked towards the mentioned team.
"What are they calling you guys for?" Jaune asked.
"It probably has something to do with the two people we found in the forest."
"Two people?" Ren raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah they had armor that looked like it was made from Atlas and they had..." Ruby paused for dramatic effect.
"A talking. Gun." JNPR looked at each other, then at WBY.
"Has she-"
"No, we heard it talk too." Blake said, which confused Ruby.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Blake didn't get a chance to respond when Weiss spoke up.
"I don't trust them though."
"You say that about EVERYONE you meet." Yang told heiress.
"They have armor that looks different from those of Atlas, and I know they're hiding something."
"They seem pretty cool though." Ruby said.
"She's right though." RWY looked at Blake. "I don't know who they are, but they are definitely hiding something."
Yang was about to say something until Ozpin called them again.
"I repeat. Would Team RWBY please meet me outside of their dorm?"
"Oops! Got to go bye!" Ruby said as she and her teammates made their way towards their dorm.
-LINE-BREAK-
Team RWBY arrived at their dorm, to find Ozpin outside.
"Good afternoon Headmaster Ozpin." Weiss said, slightly bowing her head.
"Good afternoon Team RWBY. Follow me." He began walking towards the dorm of the two soldiers.
"You recall the people you found in Emerald a Forest, correct?" Team RWBY nodded their heads.
"Yeah, they seemed nice." Ruby said as Ozpin smiled.
"I'm glad you think so Ms. Rose, because those two, will be your temporary teachers." Weiss stopped in her tracks. Which got the attention of the others.
"Is there a problem, Ms. Schnee?" Ozpin asked.
"I can understand Washington being a teacher but..?"
"Caboose will be more of Washington's assistant, Ms. Schnee, is there anything else you need to know?" Weiss thought for a moment, thinking if she should say it or not.
"Yes, actually, sir." Weiss said, making up her mind.
"They're hiding something from us, I don't think it would be best to trust people randomly found in a forest." Yang elbowed Weiss.
"They seemed pretty cool Weiss, besides," She grinned. "Weiss-snow-Schneerious?" Yang threw her hands into the air. "Eh, eh..?" Weiss sighed.
"Eh, one of your better ones." Ruby said.
"Do not worry Ms. Schnee, they've already told me their secret." To which Weiss perked up to.
"Really? What is it?" Ozpin thought for a moment. If he told them their secret, they might lose some trust in the headmaster, but Team RWBY would feel easier around them. If he didn't, the opposite would happen. Ozpin sighed.
"I believe it is best to have their permission first before revealing it." Weiss was about to say something, but he cut her off.
"Now then, let's keep moving." He said, walking towards the room. which was only two doors away from their own. Ozpin knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing the black and yellow armored soldier.
"Hello Ozpin." He looked behind him to see the four girls he encountered from the forest.
"Hello girls."
"Hey."
"These four shall be the ones to give you a school tour." He turned towards the Team. "If you four are alright with it of course."
"No problem sir!" Ruby said, saluting the headmaster.
"Alright, Caboose, let's get going." He walked out of the door with the blue soldier behind him.
"Hello!" Caboose said enthusiastically.
"Good to see you Caboose." Yang said, preferring the idiotic, yet more positive one over Washington.
"Alright let's-" Washington started, until Ruby remembered something
"OhMyGodIforgotmyboardgameberightback!" Ruby said using her semblance to run through the halls, leaving a trail of rose petals. Ozpin sighed and gave WBY a soft smile.
"Tell your leader to not run in the halls next time."
Washington sighed and looked at the remaining girls.
'It's going to be a long day, isnt't?" He thought to himself.
-LINE-BREAK-
That's the end of Chapter 4, I hope you enjoyed reading this story so far.
Thank you to Kampfkuschler, Crimson, and ANONYMOUS for leaving a review. As for the first one, let's hope I use that potential to good use.
I'm sorry if the reason for the whole other dimension door seemed out of place, but it was a little difficult thinking of something that still kept with Caboose's "I used the bathroom." thing.
Anyways, I'm going to leave a poll over on my profile on which Red should come along with Tucker and Carolina. If you'd like to vote, check out my profile.
Even though I know it won't really be noticed…
Anyways, if you have any criticism or tips to help improve myself, or just want to say what you think of the story so far, leave it in the reviews.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great day.
