Author Note: Hello everyone! Last time we finally met our RWBY villains and now we have an infiltration mission! I won't keep you guys any longer and lets dive right in!
City of Vale: White Fang Hideout
Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Sniper, Medic, Heavy, Demoman, and Soldier were all peeking over a ledge, looking at the warehouse that Spy had led them too. He had said that from their on it would be up to them and that to contact him when it was over. Then he went quiet, leaving the group to figure out a way in. They had made a few plans, but now it seemed that a straight up plan would be easier.
"Alright maggots, listen up!" Soldier said a little quieter than usual, but still a over a whisper. He looked over his fellow mercenaries and students who had decided to wear their hats. They all looked quite nice, though Yang left the mustache part of the Danger back at Beacon, opting for just the hat and glasses. "We are going to charge and kill every single one of those weird looking people. Then we go inside and beat the crap out of the Torchwick guy and go home! Got it?"
He waited for everyone to agree but instead just got stares. "Yeah... I don't think we should do that," said Yang quietly. "Say's the one who's going on a date with Scout!" retorted Soldier. The two were staring at each other angrily but Jaune cut in saying, "Come on, focus guys! We need to get in their, and though Soldier's idea could work since we have most of the mercenaries with us, it still isn't the best idea and-" he stopped and realized Soldier was gone. Everyone looked around, searching for the crazy patriot before they heard someone yelling from the warehouse, "SCREAMING EAGLES!"
Somehow Soldier had been able to sneak away and had equipped his Beggar's Bazooka and B.A.S.E Jumper and rocket jumped over the warehouse and began to fire at the unaware White Fang soldiers. The White Fang members looked up and the last thing they saw were three rockets flying down towards them from a crazy helmeted man. Then they all blew up. As Soldier landed triumphantly in the middle of the remains of the faunus he ha just killed, all the other White Fang members that were stationed at the warehouse ran over blaster weapons drawn.
The students and other mercenaries groaned in annoyance at Soldier's reckless behavior. "Alright then," said Jaune slowly as he stared at the White Fang members surrounding Soldier, "I guess we will do his plan."
Everyone nodded and jumped out from their hiding place and ran to Soldier. Sniper was the only one who stayed behind and equipped the default Sniper Rifle an, aiming down the site, he popped the head off of one faunus who was advancing towards Soldier. The other White Fang members all looked around as they saw their friend get sniped and spotted the charging group of people and turned to them. Before they could start shooting, Ruby used her semblance to get to quickly get right up to them and sliced one away with her scythe. Before they had left, the students had agreed not to kill unless absolute necessary. They had only done it at Hightower because the re-spawn generator and even then they felt bad every time they had killed one of the mercenaries.
The mercenaries had no such qualms however and dove straight into battle opening fire on their enemies. Heavy was using the Natasha, so when he fired the bullets slowed down anyone that they hit, which made fleeing completely pointless. He laughed as White Fang members tried to run and shoot him, with little effect due to Medic running around and healing everyone with his Quick-Fix as healing speed was the priority when their were many people to heal. Demoman had equipped his Tide Turner shield and charged at the enemy with his Eyelander sword out and sliced off the head of one, then taking out his default Sticky Launcher and firing a few stickies into a group of advancing faunus. They stared at the strange spiked explosives and looked up at Demoman smiling think that since the explosives hadn't exploded that it hadn't worked. Demoman grinned devilishly and detonated the stickies sending body part flying. Sniper was picking off people from afar, especially ones that tried to sneak attack his teammates. And Soldier did what he does best… charge into the enemy like a jackass and kill blow everything up in the name of America.
The students were also holding up very well. Ruby swung her scythe in a circle around her, making it impossible for anyone to approach her with out being sliced in half. While doing so, she shot the rifle part of her scythe and picked up members that circled around her trying to find a way through. Weiss had dropped the healing approach for the moment, and used her other Dust cartridges such as the Fire and Ice kinds to burn or freeze her enemies in place to make them easier to hit. She also used her semblance, strange glyphs that could be uses to speed people up or even summon avatars, to help her friends dodge attacks from behind. Blake used her sword and sheath to slice through the enemy lines and then sneaking away until the perfect moment to attack and sliced from behind. Yang launched herself at the enemy line and blasted White Fang members away with her shotgun punches. She covered Medic's back especially as he soon became a main target since he was the healer. Though in all actuality he didn't really need protecting. One faunus was able to get past Yang and tried to take out Medic, but was then found himself on the ground covered in syringes as Medic reloaded his Blutsauger syringe gun before returning to healing the others.
Team JNPR were also keeping up without much trouble. Jaune was showing his improving skills by striking one faunus down with his sword while blocking a blaster shot with his shield from another, before advancing on him and delivering a mean stab to the chest with his sword. Nora was in her element, launching grenades from her weapon in grenade launcher form to blast away enemies before switching her weapon to hammer form and smashing enemies into the ground with so much force that their bodies were almost completely submerged by the ground, only leaving their heads sticking out. Pyrrha used her semblance to control her round shield with magnetism and then wiling it go around the enemy lines like a flying buzzsaw and fly into faunus and making them fall down in a daze. She used her spear to ward off any enemy that tried to get near her and was basically untouchable as no one even tried to approach he because of her flying shield trap. Finally Ren was using Scout's speed lessons to run around the enemy, to quickly for them to hit him, and picked them off with his automatic handguns.
Everything was going very well for our heroes until the White Fang decided to use their trump card. The remaining White Fang foot soldiers retreated into the warehouse. The group watched in confusion and were about to conclude that they had won the battle before three massive mechs stomped out of the warehouse. They were large bipedal robots piloted by a single White Fang member in each one. They armed with machine guns and rockets that could level a town in a matter of minutes.
Weiss gasped. "Those are supposed to be Atlas's (One of Remnants Kingdoms that had the best army and technology then the others) new creations. How did the White Fang get their hands on them?!"
"It doesn't matter right now," said Jaune staring at the impending threat, "Team RWBY, take one of them, mercenaries take another, and my team will take on the last one." Everyone nodded at the solid plan and charged at their assigned mech.
Ruby and her team met their enemy and immediately scattered around the mech. The mech fired rockets at the students but couldn't hit them. "Weiss freeze it's legs!" shouted Ruby as she shot at the back of the mech with little effect. Weiss obliged and used her ice Dust cartridge and fired a spiral of ice at the mech's feet from her saber and successfully froze it in place. "Quick, Yang, Blake, initiate Bumblebee!" Ruby ordered. Blake extended her ribbon that was attached to her sword and gave the end of it to Yang who then ran toward the Mech and punched it's legs making them slowly buckle while spinning around it causing the ribbon she was holding to tie itself around the mech. She finally let go and shot a shotgun shot from her gauntlet and broke the ice that had held the mech in place the whole time. It tried to move but the very strong ribbon held by Blake made it trip forward and the cockpit it the ground first, causing it to explode, easily killing the White Fang member inside. Team RWBY cheered at their victory and went over to help the other two groups, but found out that they really didn't need help.
The mech that was paired up with the mercenaries lost even quicker then the one with Team RWBY. Sniper shot it's legs at the joints causing it to freeze up and stop moving giving the other mercenaries the chance to launch a frontal assault on it. Demo and Soldier fired grenades and rockets at the mechs arms, causing them explode and destroying the rockets and machine guns it had. Medic equipped another of his mddi-guns called the Kritzkreig, which when Übercharged gave the healing target critical hits till it ran out, and with Heavy who equipped the already high damaging Brass Beast and finished off the job easily, tearing the metal giant apart and leaving a heap of scrap metal behind.
The last mech tried it's best to get rid of at least one of Team JNPR's members, but it might as well have stood still. Jaune and Pyrrha used their shields to block the barrage of bullets and rockets it sent while Ren ran around it distracting it. Nora took care of the rest with her hammer and leaped up and brought it down straight onto the mech's cockpit and brought the whole machine down the ground with a large BOOM! As Jaune and Pyrrha lowered their shields and Ren slowed down, Nora stood over the destroyed mech pouting slightly. "Aww, I broke it," she whined.
The three groups, including Sniper, met up in front of the warehouse and were about to enter when a girl with brown and pink hair stepped out carrying a lace umbrella and smiling maliciously. The group readied their weapons as she stopped a few yards in front of them. Then from behind her a orange haired man in a white suit and black bowler hat walked from the warehouse, slowly clapping.
"Well, well." drawled Roman Torchwick as stood beside Neo and smiled mockingly at the heroes who tightened their grips on their weapons. "I'm very impressed with your skills. Even you red, much better then the last time I saw," he continued looking over at Ruby who grimaced at him pointing her scythe at him.
"Give it up Torchwick," she said calmly, but with a very hard edge to her voice, "We have you surrounded." He laughed coldly and replied in the same drawling voice, "Why yes, you do. But that doesn't matter to me." He took out a small remote with large red device in the center and pushed it. The warehouse behind him exploded, destroying all the Dust crystals that were inside and even remaining White Fang members. He laughed at the student's horrified faces. Weiss collapsed to her knees staring at the smoking debris of her fathers products, now a smoldering pile of ashes. The mercenaries however weren't as frozen in shock and they all raised their weapons and opened fire at Roman. He grinned and looked toward Neo who stepped in front of him and opened her lace umbrella as the bullets, grenades, rockets, and syringes approached. The moment they hit she and Torchwick exploded into glass shards and completely vanished.
"HA!" Soldier yelled happily as he thought they were defeated. But the students shook their heads. "They aren't dead Soldier," said Pyrrha quietly. The mercenaries looked over at the students. Ruby and Yang were trying comfort Weiss, who was still staring at the remains of the warehouse in shock. Nora and Ren were looking around to see if the two hadn't teleported far. Blake was also staring at the warehouse with sorrow, thinking of all the White Fang members that had still be in their when it had blown up. Jaune and Pyrrha walked up to the mercenaries.
"What do you mean their not dead?" asked Demo confused. "She used a very complicated technique that where she teleported, leaving glass Dust behind. I have only read about it, but I know that was it," explained Pyrrha as the rest of the students joined them. "Well, we might as well leave zis place," said Medic looking around at the smoldering wreckage as sirens began to wail in the distance, "I am in no mood to talk with ze police." Under usual circumstances, the students would have preferred to tell the police what had happened, but they saw the mercenaries unwillingness to converse with the authorities and agreed to head straight back to Beacon, contacting Spy on the way and reporting on the result of the mission.
When they returned, the four other mercenaries that had stayed behind, greeted them and let them come into their room for a bit. They sat around the room, Yang actually going up to Scout and leaning on his shoulder, while they recounted the events that had occurred that night. Spy, Scout, Engineer, and Pyro listened closely to the story and when it was finished, Spy sighed pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
"Well, we should have known it wouldn't be that easy. But you all did a good job."
"Yeah," agreed Scout and he patted Yang on the head, "Besides I think you guys showed them who their dealing. Those knuckleheads ain't going to be so brave next time they see you guys!" Everyone lightened up at his encouraging words and Yang hugged him a little. "Woah," Scout said, "We are not even dating, and your already very physical."
"Is that a problem," she asked seductively and Scout shut up.
"Okay, I have to ask. Why do you all of a sudden like Scout? You were punching him last week!" asked Jaune as he sat next to Pyrrha. The rest nodded and looked at Yang, curious to hear her explanation. She sat up a little and began to explain.
"Well you see, though I actually didn't like him at all at first and thought him dangerous when he revealed who he was, I saw a lot me in him. Not to mention he always laughed at my terrible puns and we always joked about the same things and people. We even teased each other similarly. Last week, I was a little high strung from the fight which is why I punched him. But over the last few days I have really come to like him. And though he's twenty one and i'm seventeen, I think it will work out. Plus I will be eighteen soon.'
She finished smiling at everyone, who stared at her a little surprised that she would develop feelings for someone this easily. Scout then smiled a genuine smile and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Well it seems I have scored the jackpot," he said happily and Yang laughed a little as she leaned into his chest and traced a finger down his chest. "I am still way physically stronger then you, by the way, so you better watch out," she said mischievously as she got up and began to leave with her teammates and Team JNPR. "And don't forget our date tomorrow. I want all those things I said to be true," she added before winking at him and leaving, closing the door behind her.
The mercenaries looked at Scout who looked at them with a very smug expression. "Yeah thats right," he gloated, "I got a women!"
"I thought you liked Miss Pauling," asked Spy referring to the assistant that oversees their fights back on Earth. Scout shrugged, "Meh, I gave up on her. Besides Yang's much better, and I don't mean just by body wise but personality wise." This comment made Spy look up in surprise then smile. "You have grown up," he said and the other nodded agreeing. "Yeah, well thats what happens when your a genius," Scout remarked as he lay in bed.
"Then again maybe not Spy," muttered Engineer as they all got into bed and in a matter of minutes fell asleep.
Team JNPR's Dorm
Pyrrha was getting into bed when Jaune walked up to the side of her bed and sat next to her. "Hey, I just want to ask you something," he said.
Pyrrha nodded for him to go on and he continued, "Well you know how Yang and Scout are going on a date tomorrow? Well I was thinking that..." he began to trail off and turn a little red and scratched the back of his head nervously. Pyrrha realized what he was trying to say and smiled, leaning in and kissing him. "Yes Jaune, I would love to go on a date with you tomorrow," she said before laying down. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead before going to his own bed and laying down. Ren and Nora soon followed and after five minutes the only sound was the soft breathing of the sleeping students.
Well this may have been a little shorter than my last few, it's the second chapter I wrote in a single day and I could have combined it with the one I posted earlier today but I wanted to separate them into two different chapters. Now there will be no more ships. Arkos and Yang X Scout are all i'm doing since I don't want this to be a romance story. But I added these two because the really felt right. Anyway I won't be focusing on them too much except in the next chapter where it will be the two dates. Till then, Reviews are always welcome and I will see you in the next chapter… BYE BYE!
