"So that's why you hid yourself among others." Said Violet. Him, Blake and Sun where all siting at a cafe table discussing what had happened last night and why. "The same reason I hid my 'other' semblance."
"Aren't you discouraged at Beacon?" Asked Sun as he took a sip of coffee.
"We all are. Even if we don't know it." Violet turns to spot Simmons ordering a drink. He was in his new clothes so Violet almost didn't notice him. "Shit, grab my hand now!" He wispered as he put his hand on the table. They look at each other and take his hand. There is a small flash (that Simmons didn't notice) and in Violets place was a fully cloaked person. Simmons then came over with a cup and sat down across from the hooded person.
"Hey, have you seen a kid? About 15?" Asked Simmons, who then took a picture and gave it to the man.
"No." Said Violet through a voice mod. "Although that weapon... I saw it on the other side of town on the ground. I planned to give it to Ozpin and see if he knew who's it was, but since your here, maby you could give it to its rightful owner." He then handed Simmons 'Shinigami'.
"What are you doing?" Said Blake.
"Throwing him off our trail." Thought Violet.
"What about a girl with a black bow?" Asked Simmons.
"Age?" Asked Violet.
"About 17."
"You just missed her."
"Damn. Here's my number, please let me know if you see them again." He then handed them a piece of paper.
"Shure thing Dic." Said Violet as he looked at the paper which had a number and name.
"Please, Simmons will suffice. Your name?" Violet lifted his hood to reveal cat ears, blonde hair, and purple eyes.
"Sun."
"Really dude?" Said Sun.
"He doesn't know you, ok? I panicked!" Thought Violet.
"Thank you and goodbye." With that, Simmons took his leave and left them to their thoughts.
"We need to go now!" Said Blake.
"Agreed!" Said Sun.
"Computer. Protocol 7267. Escape mode." Violet wispered. He then vanished in a tenth of a second.
Outside the shop.
"Sarge, I might know where they went." Said Simmons on the scroll.
"Good. I found one of Violets projects and I think you might like it." Said Sarge through the receiver.
"What project?"
"It has a 50 caliber chaingun on the back."
"Shotgun!" Grif said from behind Sarge.
"Shot- Damn it!"
"Shotguns lap!" Said Donut from behind Grif.
"Oh hell no!" Said Grif. That's when Simmons heard a click.
"That's what you get fat ass." Muttered Simmons.
A couple blocks over.
"Damn cats!" Said Felix starting to get frustrated.
"Calm down Felix, we don't need a riot." Said Yang. RWBY, along with Felix and Caboose where looking for their friends.
"Here kitty kitty..." Said Caboose. He brought a bag of cat treats... And apparently cookies.
"I hope JNPR isn't having as much trouble." Said Ruby.
"The police could help." Said a Sarcastic Weiss.
"No." Said Felix. That's when he heard Italian music. "Anyone else hear music?" That's when a Warthog came around the corner with Grif driving, Sarge in shotgun, and Donut on the gun. "Duck!" Felix yelled. Apparently Ruby didn't notice as Caboose pushed her out of the way and stopped the warthog. The backend came up and came back down.
"No one hurts pretty ladies!" Yelled Caboose. He had red and white patterns on his arms and shadow claws where his nails should be. The comment however made Ruby gain a small blush and the impact caused Donut to go flying.
"Vehicle disabled, captain Caboose." Said Freckles as he projected himself.
"His semblance turns him into a grim?!" Said Yang at a mode of disbelief.
"Seems so." Said Sarge as if nothing happened.
"Out. Now." Said Felix. When they got out, Felit got in the driver seat and drove off at a significantly slower speed.
"Bastard!" Yelled Grif as Felix drove off.
"Your the one who almost ran me over!" Yelled Ruby.
Beacon. Student garage.
"How the hell did he get blueprints to these?!" Said Maine as him, JNPR, Wash, Tucker, Jones and Lopez all looked at the two passenger warthogs. It seemed like one was missing though.
"If I remember correctly, we where trained in vehicle maintenance. We where given the blueprints as a way of plans for how to fit them." Said Wash.
"How did Ozpin not know about this?" Asked Jaune as he observed the one marked 'ALPHA'. Each warthog had a driver, passenger, and six seats in the back where the gun old go.
"No idea. These where used in the war as civilian evac." Said Tucker.
"War?" Asked Nora as she observed 'BETA' which was identical to 'ALPHA'.
"Humanity versus the covenant. The reason project Freelancer was formed to begin with." Maine concluded.
"That's rough." Said Ren as he took shotgun.
"It was. Let's go." Said Wash. Tucker and Lopez took driver while everyone else just got in. They start the jeeps and begin to drive torwards vale to look for the reaper.
The docs. Several hours later.
"What is... What is he doing here?" Asked Violet with quite a lot of disbelief.
"This makes no sense, the white fang would never ally themselves with a human." Said Blake with as much disbelief.
"Who is he?" Asked Sun.
"Roman Torchwick. The damn bastard that found me..." Said Violet as he remembered...
7 years ago. The Emerald forest.
Roman had been scouting the forest for Grimm and had heard crying of some kind. "Who's there?" He said. He then began to head torwards the sound of tears. "It's ok. No one is hear to hurt you." He then turned past a tree to see a small kid crying. When he looked around, he saw bullet holes as well as two dead Grimm. Roman went up to the kid and the kid recoiled. "It's ok. I'm here to help." The kid let loose a bit. "My name is Roman, I'm a good guy. What's yours?"
"V-Violet." He said as he gripped his right arm.
"Can I help?" Roman asked as he stretched his arm out. Violet grabbed his hand with his left arm then Roman realized why the kid was crying. "It's ok. We can fit that."
Present day.
"He took care of me, and I have this as a reminder." Said Violet, who took off a glove on his right arm to reveal that it's all metal. "His devotion for faunes only got worse as the years went by..."
Beacon. 6 years ago.
"Leave him alone!" Roman yelled as two human adults tried to beat up Violet.
"Make us!" Yelled one of them as he pushed Roman to the ground. "You need a lesson on what happens to 'their' protectors." He then proceeded to get kicked in the abdomen. That's when Violets eyes glowed gold and he used his prosthetic to punch the man in the face, then backslap him so hard that he became unconscious.
"I'm out of here!" Yelled the other one. Violet then helped Roman up.
"You shouldn't of done that. After all, humans are the worst. They will beat up kids like you just for their amusement." Said Roman as if he considered himself non-human.
Present day.
"Time for him to remember who he really is." Said Violet. That's when Blake took her chance and held Roman at blade point. After they had their confrontation, things got hectic. After about four minutes however they all stopped because of someone playing music and hearing a car.
"What is that?" Asked Roman as they all stopped fighting and heard it.
"Move!" Yelled Violet as a warthog with the Reds came through a crate and began to fire at everyone.
"Suck it Whites!" Yelled Simmons as he concentrated fire on the white fang. That's when two more jeeps without turrets came through with everyone but Ruby in them.
"Get them!" Yelled Wash as everyone got out of the jeeps and began to either run or shoot at the white fang. That's when Violet took off and grabbed all of JNPR and fused. He then charged at a group of white fang and began to hack and slash at them. The Reds drove into a group of them, Caboose went Mr.Rage, The other soldiers took cover and took shots at the enemy. Everyone else made quite a lot of damage.
"Enough!" Violet yelled as he defused. When he did so, he had a black cloak with gold detail, his eyes where lit up, and his sword was gold when Simmons threw it back to him. When it extended, the blade was gold as well and he had a sniper rifle in his other hand. He then jumped high into the air, fired highly accurate shots into the group, and when he landed moved extremely fast to eliminate the threat.
"Hey!" Ruby yelled from atop a container. That's when Roman fired at her and a different girl came down. Blades extended from the girls back and she chopped at two enemies before two bullheads came in and began to fire at all of them.
"Take cover!" Yelled Jaune. Caboose of course didn't understand and just stood there.
"Damn it Caboose!" Yelled Violet as he fused with him. "Maximum armor!" His suit then fully expanded to where he looked like an ordinary soldier to the Reds and Blues. That is when he took all the fire and then collapsed to the ground. That's when they all notice what the new girl was doing because she fired two green lasers at the warships. Violet was then dragged to safety by Tucker.
"There's another one!" Hollared Grif. Simmons then fired at the incoming ship which picked Roman up and flew off.
"That's right! You better run you son of a bitch!" Yelled Sarge as he stood on the warthogs roof holding the Spartain Lazer. "It ain't firing."
"I wonder why Sarge." Said Grif. That's when Ruby ran over to join them.
"Let's just go before someone dies." Said Pyrrah as she looked at everyone's injuries.
"It's too late for you." Said a mysterious voice.
"You!" Yelled Felix. That's when a grenade is dropped and they all split. A second grenade is dropped and half the group is gone.
"Come with me now and I only kill the mercenary." Said Locus as he reappeared.
"Fuck you bastard!" Yelled Jones as he formed a portal underneath them and the rest of them dissapeared without a trace...
"You may live to fight another day, but you won't survive the coming storm." Said Locus as he pulled out another portal grenade.
Chorus... Unknown location...
Tucker rested on a bed with is helmet off with Felix and Kimball standing next to him. Tucker then began to stir, that's when shit went down outside.
"If we are where I think we are you'll all need these." Said Violet as he handed Jaune, Blake, Nora, and Weiss the skin suits and then prepared the armor he set up. "These people won't hesitate to kill kids and after seeing some of their weapons you'll need the armor."
"How are we supposed to put these on?" Asked Weiss.
"I don't really know!" Said Violet in defense. His armor expanded over his clothes so he really didn't, that and he already had full armor on. There is then an explosion. "Damn it Caboose! I said no tanks!" Yelled Violet. He the got up and ran to the explosions.
"Although I believe we can help." Said Kimball as she and Felix came up to them.
"Pipsqueak your with me." Said Felix as he pointed at Jaune.
"Wait. What?" Asked Jaune. Felix then leaned in.
"They will kill you if you see them get dressed." Felix wispered.
"Right..." With that, they split up to get armored up.
37 minutes later.
Violet dragged Caboose out of the tank and tied him to a poll for as long as it took for them to disable the auto ignition system. Tucker fully awoke and went to check up with Simmons and Grif. Jones was to stay by Felix till they could get spare armor ready to identify him as friendly. They are all then called to the command center.
"What's needed?" Asked Tucker as he, Simmons, Caboose, Grif and Violet walked up to be meeted by five soldiers, Felix and Kimball.
"The kids are now official Privates, and Jones is now a double agent for the New Republic." Said Kimball. "And now you five must make your team to train and make a formidable force for us."
"Wait, more teams?" Said Violet.
"Indeed but seeing how these four are only kids, you may want to use caution with what you do." Said Felix as he twirled a knife between his fingers. "After all, we can't have them use their conventional weapons and powers or the Feds could clone them and we could have a problem." That's when everyone realized something, each of them where color specific, Jaune had light brown stripes and a pistol (since he never shot a gun before) , Blake had black stripes and a DMR, Nora had pink stripes with a Gravity Hammer and Railgun, Weiss had white stripes and a pistol (same deal with Jaune).
"This suit is tight..." Said Jaune as if he was being choked to death.
"You'll be fine." Simmons said.
"What about you three? Any problems?" Asked Tucker, being serious instead of... Himself.
"Nope."
"All good!"
"Perfect."
"Jaune your a fucking baby, you know that right?" Said Violet.
"I'm not used to this armor and you don't hear me complain." Said Jones sarcastically.
"OKAY!!!" Snapped Felix. "I guess we should get to work then." He then tossed a training sniper rifle at Jaune who caught it and then panicked. "First training exresise is breach and clear of an enemy base. You got fifteen minutes to prepare. Go!" They all then left Felix and Kimball to talk.
"How the hell did seventeen and fifteen year old students from a far off galaxy get caught up in this? And what with the animal features?" Asked Kimball, who really wanted to know what was up.
"Locus tried to take us and they got caught in the middle. I can't blame them. And the animal features just to let you know, that's normal on their planet." Said Felix as he pulled a hard drive from his helmet. He plugged it into the nearby computer and showed Kimball what had happened in the past week.
