Chapter 9: Dumb Cop, & Dumber Cop
Outpost: 17-B, Valhalla, 2554
POV: Simmons
Simmons wasn't having a good day. In fact, it was one of his worst days of his life. Upon hearing that Caboose kept the Epsilon unit, and that he violated a UNSC law. Simmons made it his top priority to contact Sarge, and his friends in the desert. Unfortunately, the radio at Red Base wasn't working.
"Sarge, come in. Sarge. Sarge, Ruby, Jaune, Grif, do you read?" he asked as he heard static coming through the other end.
Simmons sighs. "Ah, dammit." Hey Lopez!" he called over to the robot.
"[Yes?]" Lopez asked, unamused
"Is the radio busted?" Simmons asked. Lopez then facepalmed
"[Busted radio. How come no one ever wants to talk to me about anything else?]" he muttered to himself
"The radio! No work? Call Sarge-o! Yes or no?" Simmons asked, completely confused at what the robot was saying.
Lopez then walked up to the radio. "[You speak English worse than I do.]" he hissed. Lopez then began to speak slowly like Simmons. "[Yes. Radio. Good. Butt. Up yours.]" he said as he insulted the maroon soldier.
Simmons just stared at him. "Then, how come I can't get Sarge?"
"[Maybe their radio is busted. Einstein.]" Lopez suggested
"Can you fix it?"
Lopez facepalmed again. "[Fix their radio. Yeah I'll get right on it.]"
"How come in all these years with us. You haven't learned a single word of English yet?" Simmons questioned
"[I don't know.]" Lopez replied, "[Probably to avoid conversations like these.]" But Simmons still understand.
"Argh! Whatever, I'm gonna use the hologram chamber for an idea." Simmons said as he when inside the base.
As Simmons descended down in the elevator he began to heard strange noises. At first, he thought it was just the elevator. But upon exiting it, he realized he was wrong.
"Nora! Stop that!" Ren shouted from the chamber
"But Ren this is fun!" replied the bubbly girl. Simmons entered the chamber to find a disturbing scene. Weiss and Nora were tinkering with the console on the wall, creating multiple projections. Some of Grimm, others of Grif, and even of the other Reds and Blues. Ren was watching from the ramp along with Pyrrha. Weiss then walked up to the holograms of the simulation troopers, and took out Myrtenaster.
"Worst. Group. Of. Soldiers. Ever." she laughed as she cut down all of the holograms. But as she approached a hologram of Caboose, it disappeared.
"Huh!?" Weiss questioned, she turned around and suddenly a loud down noise engulfed the room.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sound of three bursts came out of nowhere. Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora looked up to find Simmons with his hand on the console, and his battle rifle pointed at the heiress. They then looked a Weiss, who was no longer holding her raiper. Instead, it was a feet feet away from her. Implying that Simmons shot it out of her hand.
"How dare yo-" Weiss was about to yell at Simmons only to have the maroon soldier shoot another round into the air.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Simmons then lowered his rifle. "Fuck. You." he stated, as he flipped her off. "My turn." Simmons then pushed a few buttons on the console, the room changed into a small arena. Weiss was in the middle, while Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren watched from afar. Just then, two holograms appeared in front of the heiress. One of Caboose, and one of...herself?
"Alright Ice Queen." Simmons snarled, "You want a fight, you got one. For the record, my money is on the holograms."
Weiss just looked at then holograms, who began to charge at her. Caboose delivered a punch into her side, which sent her across the arena. Weiss got up, and summoned a glyph that set Holo-Caboose on fire.
"Ahhhhh!" the hologram shouted. "I'm on fire!" Holo-Caboose ran around like a crazy person. Setting the room on fire, eventually, the hologram disappeared.
"Alright me." said the Holo-Weiss, "Time to see who's the best." Weiss charged at Holo-Weiss, and the two fought in an impressive display of swordsmanship. Until Holo-Weiss summoned a glyph that froze the real Weiss in place.
"Hey!" Weiss shouted at the hologram, who just smirked. Until it to disappeared.
"HA! Look at the Ice Queen! Defeated finally!" Simmons taunted from the console, with Nora, Ren, and Pyrrha trying not to laugh.
"Hmph." Weiss muttered as she sheathed her rapier and approached the group. Just then, Lopez called them on the radio.
"[Hey assholes.]" he said
"Lopez? What are you want?" Nora asked
"[I need Simmons. I may have a way to get to Sarge, and your friends.]" Lopez explained from the other end. But no one understood him.
"Uh...ok Lopez. Will just go and see what you want." Simmons replied
"[Fuck you!]" Lopez shouted, and he then ended the call.
"Come on guys, lets go see what he wants." Simmons said, and they left the chamber. When they arrived on the surface, they found Lopez. Next to him was two motorcycles.
"Aw cool!" Nora shouted as she noticed the vehicles.
"How did you make these?" asked Pyrrha
"[From some old Warthog parts. Now Simmons can go and tell Sarge about that AI unit.]" replied Lopez
"Great!" said Simmons, "Now I go and tell Sarge about that AI unit." he stated, completely unaware that Lopez said the same thing.
"[Are you mocking me?]" Lopez asked
But Simmons ignored what the robot said. "All right. I'll be back as soon as I can. Come on, Donut!" But the pink soldier didn't answer.
"Hey guys where's Donut?" Simmons asked the huntsmen.
"Uh last time I saw him, he went over to Blue Base." replied Ren
"Ugh. I'll go get him." Simmons groaned, "Man, why do I have to do everything around here?"
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." Nora says under her breath.
"[You?]" Lopez says to Simmons, "[I'm the one who just built two motorcycles.]"
But Simmons still didn't understand what the robot was saying. "Yeah, I know Lopez. I guess I'm just naturally responsible, and people take advantage of that. It's a curse really." he says as he gets on the motorcycle. "I'll go grab Donut, and bring him back for his motorcycle."
Lopez then stepped in front of the vehicle. "[No. That's not for Donut.]" he says.
Luckily Simmons manages to make out what Lopez said. "No that's not for Donut? Why not?"
"Yeah, then why did you make a second one Lopez?" asked Weiss
"[That's a spare.]" Lopez replied, "[If there's anything I've learned about working with you idiots, it's always build two vehicles.]"
"Uh-huh? I don't even understand- okay whatever Lopez, see you guys soon!" Simmons said as he drove off...only to crash it a second later.
"Nice one Simmons." Weiss groaned
"Hey...um, I'm just gonna take this motorcycle." Simmons said casually
"[The keys are in the ignition.]" Lopez replied
"I think I'll go with Simmons." said Pyrrha
"Yeah sure that's fine." he replied
POV Change: Desert Temple
While Simmons was having some trouble in Valhalla. The away team wasn't doing as good as well. Ruby, and Jaune ended up drinking all the water at the camp, causing some trouble with the mysterious soldier. While Blake tried to keep a long distance away from the alien Smith, and his cronies. Grif and Yang were trying to radio Simmons and the huntsmen back at the base.
"Simmons, come on, Simmons, are you there or what?" Grif asked through the radio only to hear static. "Ok. I give up."
"Let me try?" said Yang as she stepped up to the microphone. "Hey Simmons, Pyrrha, Weiss, you there?" But she got no answer. "Lets go check their jeep." And the two left the radio.
Meanwhile, Sarge, Caboose, Ruby, and Blake were scavenging an old warthog for parts. "What the hell is wrong with this jeep?" said Sarge, "It doesn't have a turret!"
"Maybe its a car." replied Caboose
"What does that mean?" Sarge asked
"You know. Like a regular car Sarge." Ruby added
Sarge looked at them confused, "What kind of car doesn't have a massive cannon on it?"
"Uh, all kinds of cars." said Blake, "Most cars do."
"That's ridiculous." Sarge replied, "That would be like saying there's some kind of thing you can wear on your head that's not armor plated, and doesn't offer a 5X optical zoom."
"I think you've been in the military a really long time." Caboose said
"Yep. Its been a good run." Grif and Yang then finished looking through the old warthog.
"Damnit, no radio here either?" said Grif
"Someone yanked it out." Yang added, "Why would they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep?"
"Let me take a look at it guys." Caboose said as he inspected the busted radio.
"Why? You want to confirm that there's no radio?" Ruby asked
"Maybe I can fix it." Caboose explained
"How are you going to fix something that isn't even the- You know what, no, fuck it, go for it, whatever." Grif announced. He then approached Sarge.
"Sarge, this place gives me the creeps." said Grif, "Something's really wrong here. I mean, why would they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep, and why can't I get a signal on long range?"
"Something does seem does seem out of place." said Jaune, who had been at the water station this entire time. "But maybe we're overreacting."
"Hmm, maybe they have one enormous radio somewhere that requires a ton of parts, like one the size of a house." Sarge suggested
Everyone looked at him. "...Once again, unlikely. Wait a second..." Grif then looked at the huge vehicle near the hill. "What about that thing? The big freighter? It looks like a mobile base. Maybe it has a radio."
The trio was then interrupted by a strange noise.
"Hey, what are you guys up to over there?" Sarge asked Caboose, Ruby, Blake, and Yang.
"Nothing." Caboose replies, as he pushes the Epsilon unit under the damaged jeep. "We're up to nothing." Just then the mysterious soldier began heading towards the group.
"Uh-oh. Here he comes guys." Blake announced, and everyone turned to the soldier.
"Hey, what's going on down here?" he asked very brashly
"Uh nothing." said Ruby, tryin to stay innocent
"We're just down here scavenging for parts like you said." Sarge answered quickly
"Ok, then hurry up." At this comment Jaune raised an eyebrow.
"Hey buddy. You do realize we're not gonna fix this in like the next ten minutes right?" he said as he gestured over to the broken jeep.
"Yeah I know." replied the soldier, "Just the sooner the better."
"Why? What's going on around here?" Blake asked
"I can't tell you that." the soldier replied sternly, "Look, I'm sure you're curious. We're curious about you as well. All you need to know is what you can plainly see: We're trying to uncover that structure to... recover something. That's already more than you need to know!"
The group looked at each other. "You at least have a name?" Yang asked
"Uh yeah, its C.T."
"Cool."
"Thanks. I got it from a-Hey! Where's are the others?" C.T. asked, as he noticed that Ruby, Blake, and Caboose were missing.
"Uh, what others?" Sarge asked trying to act normal.
"Your other friends." replied C.T.
"They're right...here?" Yang tried to fool C.T. but it didn't work.
"THAT'S IT!" C.T. finally snapped, "You're either here to investigate us, or you're complete idiots! Either way, I've had it."
"Investigate?" Jaune looked at him confused
"Grrrrr... Tell me where the blue guy, and the two chicks went, or I'll shoot the orange one." C.T. demanded as he pointed his rifle at Grif.
But Sarge said nothing, while Yang, and Jaune started to chuckle.
"Tell me!" C.T. asked again, "And whats so funny!?"
"Dude, I can save you some time." Grif groaned, "You just picked the wrong guy to threaten. It'll make more sense when you get to know us."
Suddenly, the camp's alarm goes off, and a group of human and alien soldiers mad their way to the large vehicle.
"That's them, isn't it!?" C.T. groaned
"Yeah probably." Yang replied
"Move! Up the hill, now!"
POV Change: Simmons and Pyrrha
Simmons parked the motorcycle near Blue Base. As he and Pyrrha approached the back entrance. Simmons noticed Pyrrha frowning.
"Hey, what's wrong Pyrrha?" he asked
"Something doesn't feel right." she replied, "I think there's something big going on. I've felt it ever since me and my friends showed up here."
Simmons thought for a few seconds. "Well, I have to admit. Lots of people feel like that. I'm gonna go grab Donut."
"Ok! I think I'll stay here." replied Pyrrha. Simmons nodded and continued to the base. Suddenly, as he entered he immediately ran out screaming.
"OH FUCK!" he yelled, "Welcome to the neighbor! See ya later!" Simmons ran at the speed of Ruby's semblance, right towards Pyrrha.
"Simmons! What going on?" Pyrrha asked concerned
"He's here! He's here!" Simmons screamed, but Pyrrha couldn't understand.
"Who's here?" she asked, as she readied her javelin, and shield.
"ITS HIM! ITS-!" but Simmons was cut off by an explosion. The two turned to Blue Base, and noticed a figure standing in front of them. It wore heavily damaged white armor, with brown accents. His shoulders were covered with bulked armor plates, and he had a helmet with a large, golden visor that cover most of the helmet. It carried a huge weapon that appeared to be some sort of grenade launcher. To Pyrrha, he looked utterly terrifying.
"S-Simmons?" Pyrrha asked, "W-what is that thing?"
"It him Pyrrha." he replied, "Its...The Meta."
So there's chapter 9 for you. Sorry it took so long. But now as a special treat here is a sneak peak at the next story, RvBvRWBY: Insurgence. Enjoy!
POV Change: Professor Ozpin
The group made their way out of Beacon, completely unaware that Ozpin was watching them from his tower.
"Where are you going." he said to himself
"Who's going where?" said a voice, Ozpin then turned around and noticed Glynda standing right behind them.
"You know who I'm talking about Glynda. This is the second time they've left campus without permission."
Glynda's face turned from worried to full on anger.
"Then it will be their last." she replied as she made her way to the door. But Ozpin stopped her.
"Wait. I think they've been leaving for a reason." Ozpin explained as he stopped her.
"Fine." Glynda groaned, "But we need to find out where they're going."
Ozpin nodded at her suggestion, "I have just the people." he then went to his seat and spoke into a microphone.
"Would Qrow Branwen, Specialist Schnee, Doctor Oobleck, and Professor Port report to my office?" he said. After waiting a few minutes, four individuals entered the room. One was a woman with white hair like Weiss'. She wore a white officers uniform, and a rapier sword sheathed to her side. Behind her was an older gentlemen in a red burgundy uniform. He had gray hair, and ginormous mustache. Next to him was a younger man with green hair, and large comedic glasses. Trailing behind them was a man around Ozpin's age. He had black hair, and red eyes, he also carried a giant scythe on his back.
"What do you want Oz?" asked the man trailing behind. "Got any leads on your...private case?"
Ozpin shook his head. "No I do not. I have a new assignment for you four, and it involves your niece, Qrow."
Qrow's face turned from a blank stare to nervous. "Ruby, is she alright? Where is she?"
The woman turned to Qrow and smirked at him. "For once, your worried? Never thought I'd see the day."
"Actually Winter, your sister is in on this as well." said Ozpin, and Winter turned to face the professor.
"What!?"
"Relax, both or you!." Glynda spoke, "I have enough to worry about, and I don't need to have you two causing trouble."
"Alright. So what's up with them?" asked Qrow. Ozpin then went under his desk and pulled out a white helmet, with a large gold visor.
"You still have that thing?" said the man the large mustache
"Yes Port. I do. Now I believe we all remember that experimental dust incident Team RWBY was involved in?"
"Yes, they mysteriously disappeared then reappeared a few hours later." replied the man with green hair.
"That is correct Oobleck. Then a few weeks later, they disappeared again, along with Team JNPR, and then reappeared again after that."
Qrow raised an eyebrow, "You don't think they left for a reason?"
"I'm not sure." replied Ozpin, "So I'm sending you four to watch them. Do not try and force them back to Beacon. Understood?"
"Yes!" the four answered
"Good. Both Teams RWBY and JNPR are heading to Beacon Cliff. I assure you know the way there?" They all nodded.
"Very well proceed." And the four left the office.
Glynda then looked at Ozpin, who for the first time in his life, was worried.
"You think she has something to do with this?" Glynda asked
"No. This is something else."
POV Change: Qrow, Winter, Port, Oobleck
The four arrived at Beacon cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest. As they got closer, they noticed Teams RWBY and JNPR.
"There they are." Port whispered
"What's that in Blake's hand?" asked Qrow, as he noticed a strange device in the girls hand. Suddenly a bright light engulfed the cliff, and when it receded, both teams were gone.
"RUBY!" Qrow shouted as he ran towards the cliffside. Winter, Port, and Oobleck close behind.
"Qrow! You idiot! Wait for us!" Winter yelled, as the three tried to catch up. They eventually arrived at where both huntsmen teams were. On the ground was the device Blake was holding.
"Bart? Can you tell us what this is?" asked Port, as hand Oobleck the device.
"Well...I'm not sure. said Oobleck, "But if my suspicions are correct. I believe this is some sort of teleportation device."
Winter just shook her head in disbelief. "You can't be serious Doctor." Qrow on the other hand, thought of something else.
"Like my sisters semblance?" he asked, but Oobleck shook his head.
"I'm afraid not. Raven's semblance of portals work differently. This is beyond my comprehension."
"So where does it go?" asked Port
Oobleck looked up from the device. "There's only one way to find out." he replied. He then pushed a button on the device. Suddenly another white light engulfed the canyon. The four huntsmen were gone. Back at Beacon, Ozpin was looking out from his tower when he noticed the light.
"I hope you know what your doing." Ozpin said to himself. He then turned to a hologram being projected from the white helmet. Which featured Team RWBY and group of soldiers in colorful armor. Including Aqua, Cobalt, Red, Blue, Maroon, and Orange.
"Besides. We maybe dealing with something even worse." said Ozpin as he examined the picture.
