Amiss The Bombs

Following in his Footsteps (Part 2)

5:30 PM

Team RWBY and their companions, Strife, Ryuga and Brick, were heading out into the Wasteland, trying to find Ruby and Yang's father: Taiyang. While they were walking with their new toys, Ruby asked the question:

"Um, so where exactly was Dad when you last talked to him?" Ruby asked.

"Well, before you guys came into the shack, We called Taiyang and we got a transmission from him hinting that he is at Galaxy News Radio." Strife explained.

"Wait- Galaxy News Radio? The place that broadcasts all over the Wastelands?" Yang asked.

"Yep. That's the place." Brick said.

"Heh. Where is it exactly?" Blake asked.

"It's in the middle of the Beacon Ruins." Weiss answered.

"How do you know that?" Brick asked.

"Because I know everything." Weiss replied.

"Please." Ryuga sarcastically said.

"I know where it is." Weiss then pulled up her Pip-Boy and found the location on the map.

"Hmm. So you do know your way around the Wastes. Interesting." Strife remarked.

"Yeah, my dad was the damn Overseer, so, yeah. I know a lot of places around the Wastes." Weiss said.

"Well, I guess I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the Overseer of Vault 101. Forgive me, your majesty." Strife said sarcastically.

"Shut up. Let's just get to GNR." Weiss remarked.

"Well, we have to go through the old underground metro to get there." Ryuga explained.

"But that place is sealed up. Filled with Ghouls of all kinds. We can't go in there." Brick cautioned.

"Oh, come on. It's a old subway station. It can't be that bad." Ruby said.

"You are so suicidal, Ruby." Brick said as they went to the metro.

Approximately 1 hour later, inside the subway metro...

"This is really bad." Ruby said as she pulled out Lincoln's Repeater. Weiss pulled out A3-21's Plasma Rifle, Blake got her Blackhawk out, Yang got her Terrible Shotgun out and one-handed it, Strife got out his Vengeance, Ryuga got his Xuanlong Assault Rifle out and Brick got the Perforator. They faced multiple enemies: Ghouls. Ruby shot her Rifle at the first Ghoul on the left in the head, but it didn't kill it the first time. She shot it again, and this time it fell to the ground, with it's head completely blown up.

"Jeez!" Ruby shouted at the now headless Ghoul. Yang was the next to shoot and she killed the Ghoul on her right, and took it down perfectly. Ryuga was the one to kill the Ghoul in the middle, taking it out with just 5 bullets. The heroes and heroines looked at the dead bodies of the Ghouls.

"Told you this was bad, Ruby." Brick remarked.

"Shut up." Ruby replied. "But, What were those?" Ruby asked.

"Those, my friend were Ghouls. They are some of the most deadly creatures in the Capital Wasteland. They wander all throughout the Wastes." Strife explained.

"-But they are mainly in these subway tunnels. They, from what I know of, appear as Feral Ghouls, Glowing Ones, and just regular Ghouls." Ryuga added.

"Yes, what he said." Strife replied.

"Interesting..." Blake remarked.

"Yeah. They are VERY ugly. I hate having to run across them in my travels." Brick added.

"I can imagine." Yang cut in.

"Welp, I must say, These things now scare the shit out of me." Ruby remarked.

"Heh. Let's press on, shall we?" Strife asked.

"Yes. Let's." Blake said. The heroes then slowly made their way through the Metro, going through the ruins of the once popular subway station, encountering Feral and Regular Ghouls. Eventually, they had to spit up because of the different pathways leading to perhaps different areas.

"Here. We can stay in contact through our Pip-Boys. We just need to stay on this frequency:" Strife input the frequency for a radio station that allowed for the two teams to stay in contact.

"Alright. Me, Weiss, Blake and Yang will go through the left tunnel, and the rest of you will go through the right tunnel. Stay on the radio staying and we can tell each other which one leads out." Ruby directed.

"Got it." Everyone else said in unison.

Left Side of Tunnel:

Team RWBY had goten through about a few hundred feet when they started to talk.

"So, If Dad's there, what will we say?" Ruby asked.

"We ask him why he left." Yang added. Yang then looked at Weiss and Blake for their input.

"Hey! Taiyang isn't our father!" Weiss said to Yang.

"But you guys can have an opinion!" Ruby added.

"But he isn't our father." Blake remarked.

"(Sigh.) Fine. But if you have any ideas, spit them out." Yang said. Weiss and Blake remained silent.

"Fine then. Oop! We're here!" Ruby went to her Pip-Boy and told Strife, Brick and Ryuga that the exit to the area called Chevy Chase is in the left side, and within a few minutes, they were reunited to go out.
