Hello everybody, Wombag1786 here.
So I am back. Yea sorry for being gone for a few weeks but my plate was full including finals, thanksgiving, a new series story series for my weekend segment, and a literal 17K word one shot that has been requested by a few fans had to be done all by the 26th! ... So In other words I was busy. Now back to the story, I got to say was kinda hoping for more comments on the Dismas ship subject, well In any case, it's more an avenue. I'm just gonna keep it open for a while longer. I also written down a few bullet points for the next few chapters and the ideas of what's to happen next. Saving the best for last. I uploaded the previous chapters with some updates made by Beta Reader 18Nickojar. So I want to say thanks to him for his efforts in updating the chapters. Seriously it would have taken entire week to fix my mistakes and that is only if I didn't had anything to do.
So please enjoy the story.
I don't own RWBY or Darkest Dungeon
The devil asked me how I
Knew my way around the halls Of hell.
I told him I did not need a map for the darkness
I know so well.
T.M.T
On board the Atlas ship, in the medical wing.
(A few hours later)
Only very few has seen Specialist Schnee laugh, not much of a grin was seen by many not even by those who know her well. Yet somehow Dismas managed to make her laugh after talking for only a few short hours.
"Heh heh, So what did happend afterwords?" Winter asked as she tries to suppress a chuckle.
"Well the Barons son split his trousers why'll trying to toss me out, and he accidentally slipped on a piece of pork fat he had dropped from his plate onto the table and well... did you know silk waistcoats are more flammable then pitch. Cause he instantly ignited upon contact to the flame." Dismas said with a chuckle. "So when the Baron was on the ground crying out for someone to save him Emily looked for the only thing that wasn't flammable. Problem was there was only one thing that would put out the fire, the turkey gravy."
The two then start to laugh about how a gluttonous man was saved by gravy. After a few moments Dismas calmed himself down to finish his tale. "Heh heh heh, suffice to say I was never formally invited to a masquerade ever again, but it was an enjoyable experience."
The two had finally calmed down. Over the few hours they have talked they have gotten to know one another very well. After Dismas confirmed and disproved what ever Weiss has written and her well being at Beccon the two began to talk about there own life's. Dismas regailed story's from his youth or the version he would be at the time. Why'll Winter told him of the hardships her father put her through and her triumph in securing her freedom why'll still struggling to assist her sisters. By the end of the few hours they have spoken both had grown a mutual respect for one another.
"This Emily person sounds just as mischievous as she is interesting. Tell me, do you two still keep in touch?" Winter asked only for Dismas to give a soulom and regretful look.
"I... she isn't among the living anymore. She died in an accident." Dismas said while looking down at his clean hands, that still no mater how long ago it was... still felt so dirty.
"Oh, I see... apologies on the grievance's that question may have brought to you." Winter apologizes sincerely.
"It's, alright. It's been three years and the weight of her death hasn't ease neigher the horror I have witnessed since her passing, but having friends like your sister eases that weight of the burden I carry." Dismas said as he returned to looking her in the eye.
"Yes, well it is quite wise to have friends in dire needs... so tell me Dismas, why do you refer to your self as a Highwayman?" Winter asked changing the subject.
"Cause I was a formal Highwayman, and a very elusive one at that." Dismas remarks.
"So you were a thief?" Winter asked with a brow raised as Dismas gave a slight twitch in anger that was amusing to watch.
"No, thief's are unprofessional and generally an annoyance. Highwaymen are allusive, cunning, and evasive." Dismas said as he leans back against his chair.
"Alright but what do Highwaymen do that are different then thief's?" Winter asked slightly curious. Before Dismas could answer the lights suddenly turn off leaving the two in complete darkness.
"... well I don't suppose this is normal?" Dismas asked sarcastically as the emergency lights turn on giving off a faint red tint.
"No, no it isn't normal." Winter replies as she removes the blanket that was covering her bottom portion of her body.
Dismas helped her out of bed and onto her feet. Once she steady herself she grabbed her saber and pulls a part of the blade to make a medium size dagger why'll using her main saber as a crutch to help her walk. Dismas quickly tosses on his jacket before pulling Thunder and Lightning from it's pockets. They walked over to the door before something faint caught both of their ears. They looked at each other before looking up to hear something loudly banging in the vents above.
The muffled voices sounds like their were three voices talking or more like arguing about something as bits of the ceiling fell from the ceiling as the mysterious figures crawled through the vent above. Both Dismas and Winter looked at each other before ready their weapons. As the muffled voices got louder, almost sounding like they were complaining the ceiling starts to give out and then three figure fell into the room below. As smoke from the ceiling clouds the room Dismas and Winter acted quickly to capture the assailants that fell into the room.
Dismas quick bashes over the head the first one with his pistol before stomping on the back of another's leg then head-butting another giving him time to place the person into a headlock with a knife pointing at the strangers neck. He quickly shifts around to kick the first person in the face before stomping on his chest and pulling his flint lock on the figure. Meanwhile Winter grabbed the third assailant by the collar of his shirt before smacking the person across the face with her sabor causing the person to spin around letting Winter place the blade against the mysterious persons throat. She quickly brought the person to their knees by a swift kick down on the back of the leg.
"You have five seconds to identify yourself and your intentions before me and my associate will disembowel you where you stand." Winter orders as she lossens her grip on her captive so they can only speak.
"W-Winter, please let go of me." A painful and familiar voice answers. Both Dismas and Winter squint their eyes to see that mysterious person was Weiss who was bleeding from the nose.
Winter and Dismas looked in complete surprise by Weiss'es surprise entrance. "Wait, Weiss?!? What are you... Wait then who am I..."
"Ugh, hello Dismas. How's it going." Jaune mutters in pain from Dismas strong kick to the head.
"Dismas... I really, love hugs... but I (choke) can't breathe." Ruby chokes as she try's to squirm out of Dismas tight grip.
Winter and Dismas released them allowing them to recover from the sudden surprise attack. As Ruby struggles to pull Jaune over to the chair Weiss quickly dust herself off before berating Dismas. Why'll berating Dismas Winter try's to get her
"Alright, then. I want answers, NOW!" Weiss snaps as she pokes a completely confused Dismas.
"Weiss." Winter remarks sounding irritated.
"Um, sorry but what?" Dismas asked completely confused.
"Weiss!" Winter calls out sounding more irritated.
"You heard me, you lied to us to us all with some well crafted trickery. It would have pulled the wool over our eyes if it wasn't for..." Weiss reaches into her pocket to grab the locket she had hold onto so fiercely but to her surprise she couldn't find it on her. She quickly patted herself down. "Um wait, I'd just had i..."
Before she could even finish her sentence, she was smacked against the back of the head by her sister who was already boiling in rage. "WEISS KALT SCHNEE, HOW DARE YOU BARGE IN LIKE SOME DOLT! YOU ARE AN HEIRESS TO THE SCHNEE NAME AND SUCH YOU MU... st act... your ag-e..."
Before Winter could even finish her ear blistering scolding she felt faint and looses her balance. She try's to stable herself but dropped her sabor in the process. Weiss called out to her as she fell down but Dismas managed to catch her before falling to the ground.
"Hey easy their Winter. Your still not fully recovered." Dismas remarks before picking up her princes style and carrying her over to her bed.
"Um, yes I suppose I can't really argue with that." Winter complies while trying her hardest not to blush. Dismas carefully lays her down on top of the bed up right. He quickly turns around to see Ruby and Jaune looking at Winter with looks of complete pity and worried. Weiss on the other hand had a look off worried, confused, and enraged.
"Um, Dismas... what happened to Wiess's sister?" Ruby asked why'll massaging her throat.
"Yea I would like to know your intention with my sister, lying thief." Weiss remarks getting now an angry glance from Winter.
"Weiss, watch your tone. Or Oum help me I will risk falling into a coma just to teach you some manners, young girl." Winter said aggressively causing Weiss to flinch as she backs down.
"(Sigh) But if you must know Dismas here has been keeping me company... after he and his teammates rescued me." Winter explains sounding slightly irritated at herself.
Weiss mood completely changed from worried into overall shocked in complete horror. "Oh my Oum, Winter what happened?"
"... before we get into details of my... capture. Tell me how you three managed to sneak about the ship." Winter states.
"That's not important Winter. What is that yo.." before Weiss could even finish her argument Winter shot her a look again ceasing the conversation. She waited a bit before taking a look to the side at Ruby and Jaune with a deadly stare that caused both to crack.
"Well we sorta um... broke in." Ruby said why'll twiddling her fingers nervously.
"RUBY!!!" Weiss shouts out in betrayal.
"What! Your sister is super scary!" Ruby explains.
"Enough, god!" Dismas shouts out causing both Ruby and Weiss to stop. He then punches his fingers against the bridge of his nose, before muttering something.
"Right, Ruby please tell us what do you mean by breaking in." Dismas asked calmly. Ruby opens her mouth to explain but Dismas stops her. "Ubp, do it s-l-o-w-l-y."
Ruby took a moment to breath in and out. She slowly breathes out before opening her mouth to answer how they got here.
Flashback
(use Chibi version for own entertainment)
"First we heard about Winter being in a coma, Weiss ran towards the the Bullhead station to find a ship in vale to take you too the air station." Ruby explains as an image of Chibi Weiss head bolting towards an airship with a crayon drawn background.
"We were all worried so me, Yang, and Blake and the rest of JNPR raced to check on Weiss for moral support." Ruby explains as more Chibi heads raced to the Bullhead. The ship then leaves landing in Vale where all the head left for the Vale international.
"Unfortunately when we tried to get a passage to the the ship it was sealed off for quarantine. So we may have slight, kinda, just a small bit... hijact a Bullhead." Ruby said slowly as the Chibi figures burst into the Bullhead holding their weapons out why'll all having matching bandannas covering their faces like train robbers.
"After that we came to the problem that no one knows how to fly an airship... except for Nora." Ruby explains as the Chibi airship took off flying like being driven by a drunk.
"Lucky for us she managed to crash us on the right ship at least." Ruby explains as the crash ship lands onto the Atlas command ship causing a minor explosion.
"So after narrowly surviving the crash we decided to split up to find Winter quickly. We had to do it sneakily as well since we technically broke the quarantine procedure." Ruby explaines as the Chibi versions of them emerges from the explosions dressed poorly like different versions of stealth characters. (Ruby is dressed like an Assassin from Assassin creed, Weiss as Sam Fisher, Blake like a ninja, Yang like Quite, Jaune as snake, Phrrya as Corvo, Nora as Batman, and Ren as 47) they then began to sneak pass guards commidical.
"So after sneaking past some guards some guards Jaune spotted a vent and we crawled through it. We kept on getting lost because Weiss refuses to allow Jaune in the back, and every time we reached a dead end she refused to let Jaune turn around so she kept pushing me with her butt." Ruby explains as the Chibi versions of Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss crawling through the vent constantly had to back up with Weiss blushing each time with Ruby accidentally looking up her skirt.
"We just gotten lost for the sixteenth time when Jaune spotted this huge cockroach looking thing. I didn't got a good look at it because of Weiss butt pushing against my face but we then cause the vent to collapse causing us to fall into a hospital room where we were beaten up by you guys." Ruby explains as a horrific shadow looking mosquito thing hiss at the three causing them to panic before falling down into the hospital room. They picked themselves up before a Chibi version of Dismas and Winter jumps them causing a cartoon fight cloud to appear with Winter and Dismas standing atop them victories.
End of flashback
"And that is how we found you on the ship." Ruby explains. For a few seconds the room remains quite before Dismas turns to Jaune.
"Jaune did that all happened?" He asked to which he turn to Weiss giving a 'if you tell I'll kill you slowly' kinda look. He then turns to Winter who was also giving a similar look that screams the opposite.
He gulped nervously before saying. "Um heh heh, yep what Ruby said was true, expect the part of a the cockroach, it was a mosqu..."
"And the part with my Posterior! Ruby was the one in front, not Jaune!" Weiss shouts blushing as a tomato.
"What no I wasn't! You insisted that you want me upfront because you would rather have Ruby looking up your skirt!" Jaune shouts in protes only to make Weiss blush even more.
"Oh, Oum. You half witted do..."
"Enough!" Dismas shouts stopping the argument. "Bloody hell. Alright so you got on the ship. What was your intention, and please keep it civilized. Your sister nearly died."
Weiss opens her mouth to argue back but she stops herself. She breaths in and and slowly before making herself more wiping the dust off her clothes making herself look more presentable.
"I have heard the news about how my sister was placed into a coma do to severe trauma. I was going to ask the doctor who saved her life what happened to her, but seeing that she is awake I guess I can ask her instead." Weiss explains in a proper tone before turning to Winter. "If it's alright by you sister I request to know what had happened to you?"
Winter looks over at Dismas who simply gave a shrug. "(Sigh) We were sent on a mission to collect data on the White Fang, after one of their ships was found drifting aimlessly. I remember entering the ship, seeing the blood bath that has happened there. Then screams and agony and something... evil. Everything has been a daze for me. When I woke up your friend was returning my sword. The doctor told me at the bar minimum what had happened during my capture. Apparently the event was so traumatic that my own mind has repressed it. This was do to my lengthy Torture and possibly been impregnated."
"WHAT!!! By who!?!?" Weiss shouts in complete shock.
"I can answer that, Winter. It's called itself the Baron. He lives off of the applause of others. As disturbing as he was before he is still as devious as he is now." Dismas explains.
"Have you met him before?" Jaune asked.
"No, not until recently. Your sister did managed to sever its head before we managed to escape though." Dismas states.
"Alright, good riddance. But what is Winter going to do about the baby?" Jaune asked as he gets a terrifying glare from Weiss and Winter.
"Did Jaune read the book yet?" Dismas asked as Ruby shook their head no.
"Ah, well these creatures aren't human, or Faunus. They reproduce by injecting eggs into their host to which it grows into a insect like creature before popping out of your gullet to eat its first meal." Dismas explains causing Jaune to shiver at the thought. "The egg had already hatch and Paracsus was forced to preform a C-section to get the abomination out of her."
"Wait, Paracsus operated on Winter, oh dear Oum was that a good idea? She doesn't like the doctor who would follow the Hippocratic Oath." Weiss asked as she looks over at Winter completely scarred for her older sisters well being.
"I won't lie, she had no time to applying an anesthetic so it was utter hell for her." Dismas explains.
"And still is. Now Weiss are you aware that you broke protocol and boarded a Atlas Warship without permission from a high ranking official or staff?"
"Yes bu..."
"But nothing young lady. Now it's bad enough you illegally stolen a Bullhead, but broke Atlas Regulated instructions during quarantine. You should be ashamed of your self. Haven't I taught you better." Winter scolds Weiss causing her to flinch a bit.
"It is... thoughtful for you to do this for me." Winter said causing Weiss to look up with some relief. She opens her mouth to say something but a loud banging can be heard at the door.
"Ah, that would be security now." Winter states. "Weiss would you kindly open the door for the security team outside."
"WAIT WHAT!?!?!?!" Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss shouted all at once.
"Yes, why'll your little friend over their was giving a remarkable story about breaking into an Atlas facility, I took the liberty to call security." Winter explains.
"But why? We haven't done anything wrong." Ruby asked as she imagines life behind bars.
"Ruby you just admitted to breaking into a military warship without clearance." Dismas explains.
"Oh, right..." Ruby remarks as she twiddles her fingers in embarrassment.
"Yeah, in hindsight we should have said that we were stowaways, so we wouldn't have gotten into to much trouble." Jaune remarks while he scratches the back of head. While they were talking the knocking on the door got louder and more sporadic.
"Ok, can someone please get the door, before they burst it down." Winters said annoyed.
Weiss is then reluctantly walks to the door. As she place her hand onto the doorknob the knocking ceases and left the room with an eerily silence before a faint crackle can be heard from the vent above.
As the four looked up Weiss was having trouble opening the door. Almost like something was slumped against it on the other side. As she struggles the crackling noise slowly got quiet as if they were being watched a few moments ago.
"Um, Jaune. This roach, what did it look like?" Dismas asked as he slowly reaches into his jacket.
"A giant Mosquito... is that a bad thing?" Jaune asked as he felt hair on the back of his neck stand up.
As he says that, Weiss finally opens the door revealing that what was blocking the door was a Atlas soldiers body. Above the body was another soldier, except his hand Was covered and smeared in blood. His armor was bloodied and cracked and his mouth was smeared in the blood and flesh of the other soldier on the ground.
"Oh, son of a bitch." Dismas said before the four turned to see Weiss scream out in horror as she was pushed back as the infected soldier pushes forward.
"Weiss!!!" Everyone shouts as the infected soldier touge launches out with teeth on the tongue like Xenomorph.
The tongue stretches out like an frogs nearly snapping at Weiss face, it nearly was able to bite at Weiss nose off, if Dismas hadn't pulled her back. He then quickly pulls out his pistol only for the creature to swing its arm pushing the gun at the wall when it went off. It then shoves Dismas aside before it crookedly raced forward trying to jump Winter but Jaune managed to tackle it mid flight.
Once on the ground the tongue lashes out trying to bite Jaunes jugular, but he managed to catch it in time with his hand. He quickly tries to yank on it but the infected soldier quickly pushes Jaune off him with its legs. Jaune cries out as he crashes into the bathroom door.
JAUNE!!!" Ruby cries out as she reaches for an IV rack to use since her weapon wouldn't have worked in the room because of the tight space. She quickly used her semblances to pierce through the armor and flesh pushing it to the back of the wall.
The infected Atlas guard yelps in pain it grabs the handle trying to push it out of him but Weiss already grabbed the end along with Winter why'll Dismas was loading another round into his gun. As it struggles it noticed an IV bag filled with blood. It quickly grabbed it and rips the top off before guzzling it like a drunk. As the blood ran down it's throat a pair of mantis like arms springs from its chest. It quickly slices the metal pole into smaller pieces causing the three girls to fall down. It two fell down why'll it slowly mutates it's legs into grasshopper legs and it's nose extending. Dismas finally managed to load a grape shot into his flintlock and fires off at the horrible monstrosity head sending its helmet flying off revealing Six eyes and deadly silk white hair with half of its face missing.
It lets out a horrible crackling noise before leaping forward with its grasshopper legs, tackling him to the ground. It then got up read to pierce Dismas with it's neadle like nose when Winter quickly stabs it through the chest.
It spun around and picks Winter up with its human hands before trying to stab her through the head. Winter caught the first mantis arm with ease but she got empaled through her left arm by the second one. As she screams in agony, the creature lets out it's own scream as Dismas quickly recovers and cut at the creatures Achilles heel, it soon dropped Winter with a sudden thud as it limps around, before Ruby pulls out the knife Dismas gave her and pierces its other leg in the same spot as the slit. Weiss quickly raced forward and pierces it through the heart.
Even with all these grisly injuries the creature still struggles to stay alive as it shakes around, trying to shake Weiss and Ruby off it. That's when Jaune emerges from the bathroom and race's over with the toilet lid in hand he smacked the porcelain lid against the back of it's head knocking it to the ground. Once down Jaune wailed on its head for a full minute till half of the head was chrushed and barley remains. Once done Jaune tosses the bloody toilet lid aside and bends down to catch his breath. All the while Ruby and Weiss walked over to stand next to Jaune.
"I-Is it dead." Jaune huffs in exhaustion as he toss the toilet lid aside. The three shook their head in unsure if it is. Dismas how ever answers the question by blasting a grapeshot at its head splattering it remains across the wall.
"Now it is." He said before blowing the smoke from the barrel. He then holsters it before patting Jaunes shoulder in congratulations.
He then walks over to Winter and quickly removes his jacket before rips his sleeve off and wraps it around her bleeding arm like a tourniquet.
"We need to leave now." Dismas says serious as he places his jacket over Winter so it wouldn't to revealing when He carries her. As he tucks her sabor into his belt, Weiss speaks up.
"And why should we listen to you?" Weiss asked only to be smack across the face by... Ruby?"
"Weiss, we need you to drop this." Ruby said with some tears forming in her eyes. "It's bad enough that we are breaking the promise we made to him but you still want to pursue this even after saving your sister! Just stop it!"
Ruby starts to cry leaving Weiss feeling regretful for her actions. She sighs before grabbing Ruby.
"Yes I suppose your right. I... need to simply let go of this." Weiss remarks before turning to Dismas. "I don't know what is the truth. But you proven time and time again that you are a good person. What ever your hiding, is not for me to know. So please forgive me for my behavior."
"Um ok sure and thanks, now can we please leave. We need to find our friends and Ironwood before evacuating the ship before we burn it to the ground." Dismas said as he picks up Winter princes style.
The three nod in agreement and soon Jaune took the lead with Weiss why'll Ruby was last to leave. Before she left a gleam of light catches her eye. She quickly looks down to see Dismas locket that Weiss was carrying with her. She quickly grabs it and race's our the door.
Elsewhere in the Bridge
Meanwhile on the other end of the ship near the bridge of the ship. Yang, Blake, Phrrya made it near the bridge of the ship to find half of the crew were busy screaming in agony while the other half where busy munching down on them. As the three looks onwards in horror and discus Phrrya accidentally stepped on a blood stained bag of chip alarming the infected crew in the room.
After apologizing to Yang and Blake the infected quickly raced forward over each other with a sickly crackle before racing towards them. The three got into battle stances as they fought off the infected hoards for dear life. At first they held back when fighting the hoard, questioning if they were still humans or can be cured. Till one grew mantis legs and more eyes. This caused Phrrya to go into a frenzy of fear from the archnids. She immediately started to attacking more viciously yet aimlessly at the creatures.
With the a new mindset the three girls started to fight off the hoards of monsters with more success. Till a hole in the ceiling opens up and sycophants start to fly out. Blake, Yang, and Phrrya quickly shot at them with different degrees of success but most of them buzzed around way to quickly. One of them flew towards Blake who used her semblances to dodge the strike before slicing it in half with her katana. Phrrya unfortunately had three go at her at once which she stopped with her shield. She freaks out for a moment as the insects tried to stab her but she quickly transforms her weapon into a xiphos before cutting them to pieces. For on the other hand Yang had two managed to strike her. But thanks to her Aura it stopped their neadles from piercing her skin but the force did tossed her to the ground, with them on top. In a moment of rage she quickly punches their heads into oblivion causing blood and bug parts flying into her face and hair.
"Ew ew ew!" Yang said as she wipes the bits from her mouth.
"Yang are you ok?" Blake asked as she quickly clips the head of another sycophant.
"Yea, phss. Just fine." Yang comments as she spits the bits from her mouth all the while her eyes turn back to a normal lilac. "What about you P-money? Are you alright?"
"Nothing a few days of therapy will fix. Seriously I hate bugs!" She shouts that last line as she cuts down another sycophant.
As the three girl hums in agreement more sycophants came out of the hole, the numbers start to overwhelm the three as the bus slowly begin to chip away at their Aura. One sycophant managed to separate Phrrya away from the other two leaving her vulnerable. They were relentless in their attack and one finally managed to find an opening to drain Phrrya of her blood. As the two scream out to her the sycophant was cut in half by a big ass glaive.
"I WILL FEAST ON ALL YOUR HEARTS!!!" Boudica shouts with a mighty war cry as she raced forward quickly giving Phrrya some breathing space as she decapitates multiple heads at once.
As she happily cuts down their numbers a series's if gun shots can be heard as Ironwood race's in with his right sleeve ripped off exposing his cybernetics. In his other hand was his trusty revolver that he used to quickly dispatched the flying sycophant.
"Get the hell of my ship!" He shouts out in rage for the massacre he had witnessed happen to his men. He quickly ripped the oversized cockroaches to pieces with his revolver why'll using his cybernetic arm as a shield for any that try to sting him.
The five quick pushed back the hoards of sycophants before Ironwood tosses a fire dust grenade at the vent. He then took a shot at it, hitting it causing the grenade to explode stopping any more sycophants from escaping the hole why'll setting those that did on fire. The five finally had a moment to stop and take a breath.
"Well, (Huff, Huff) it's nice to see you fellow warriors again even if it's under the worst circumstances." Boudica said as she waves her glaive causing the bug bits to fly off onto the ground.
"Yea, today's been a real roller coaster of emotions." Yang said sarcastically as she struggles to get the remaining bug bits out of her hair.
"Well let's not loose foucus on them. How about you fellow Redhead warrior? How do fare against these flying vermin?" Boudica asked as she checks on Phrrya.
"Um, not so well. Don't tell Jaune but I have a fear of arachnids. Not the Grimm type just the regular type and well, these... things is not helping." Phrrya replies as she shutters trying to get the bug bits off her blade.
"Arach-nid?" Boudica asked completely confused.
"Meaning fear of spiders or anything that has more then eight libs." Blake said as she got the last of the bug juice off her blade and went to work on her hair.
"Oh Ha, well do not threat fellow red warrior, ever since I was a girl I always feared spiders. Perhaps theirs one about the ship. That we can send to hell." Boudica revels in excitement.
"Yes, as fun as that sounds, I believe any of you were onboard before this." Ironwood said as he types something into the computer.
"Don't threat general. They are fellow warriors from Beacon just like me. Perhaps Ozpin sent them here." Boudica comments why'll the rest of the girls gave nervous moments.
"Well regardless, I would question why three Beacon students are doing about my ship. But under these circumstances I will save these questions till we are safely away from this ship." Ironwood said stoically as he holsters his revolver into his military jacket.
"Yea that's a good idea, cause it real long one." Yang mutters as she pulls bits of bug brain from her hair. Before anyone can say anything a series of crackling croaks can be heard from the ceiling as the sound of buzzing can be heard.
"I think now is a good idea to leave." Blake remarks as hundreds of mosquitos flew out of the vents
"Already on it!" Boudica shouts as she grabs Blake and hoisting her above her head as the others raced out. The five quickly raced out of the bridge as the hoards of infected raced out of the vent with the mosquitos as cover.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria
Elsewhere on the ship Paracsus and J were enjoying a meal in the cafeteria when some of the Atlas guards started to attack the other guards. Everyone begins to panic as the infected Atlas guards came from the ceiling and doors all why'll crawling on the walls and roof. As the crew ran away they were quickly tackled, slash, maimed, pierced, and killed by the infected Atlas troop. During the midst of the chaos one of them lounges towards Paracsus who was sitting quietly enjoying her tea. She moves to the side as infected soldier crashes into the table. Before it could even have the chance to pick itself up Paracsus already had her crooked knife to it's throat.
"Hmm, this is new." She mutters remorseless as she slits the infected soldiers throat causing the blood to gush out onto the table. "It seems we have a new type of infected soldier on board. This would be interesting if they haven't spilled my herbal grey."
"Heh, I can never figure you brits obsession with tea, but still it seem we have a few guest who don't know their table manners." J chuckle madly before tossing a steak knife at one infected Atlas soldier tongue, piercing the flesh before shattering a cafeteria tray against its head. "Like how it's rude to eat with your mouth open, tsk tsk tsk."
Paracsus simply rolls hers eyes as she quickly grabs her mask before sliding it on. She and J quick race's to the end of the hall where the surviving were racing to see multiple dead bodies spewed across the floor. The infected soldiers quickly noticed the new pray and let out a crackling noise before charging forth. Paracsus and J quietly raced forward. J easily doges the swipes from the infected soldiers, before slicing off their head with slash. Meanwhile with Paracsus she quickly shook a bottle causing the liquids inside to bubble to the service before a yellow cloud puffs up blinding her attackers giving her enough time to put her surgery skills to use and left them bleeding from every artery. As they raced down the hall they spot the exit and a few still living survivors trying to break the door down when two chevalier burst through but on the back of them were two similar figures.
"Death to the bugs!" Nora shouts as she use her magnchild to strangle it to death why'll Ren slits the others throat. Soon the two fell to the ground dead and the survivors managed to escape the cafeteria. Before Nora could celebrate, another infected Atlas guard races towards her catching the two by surprise. J quickly reacts by pulling solo from his back and sliding under Nora with a loud guitar solo deathening the creature why'll allowing J to slash at its heals. He then twist around and leaps into the back of its grasshopper legs before bashing in the creatures head with his guitar. After five swings the creature finally fell down, dead as a coffin nail.
"Oh my Oum, CREEPY CLOWN GUY!!!" Nora shouts out she race's over hugging J.
"Little Vakorie!!!" J responds as he hugs back despite loosing all feeling in his libs from Nora's death hug of friend ship.
"What are you two doing here?" Paracsus asked as she raced up to them.
"Oh we heard how Weiss bigger sister was hurt so we came to support her. Lucky for you guys." Nora remarks as she drops J before snapping his twig like bones.
"I wouldn't call this luck, I'm afraid that it would have been better for all of you not to be around to see this horror first hand." J comments as he picks himself up.
"J, me and Nora have seen death like this before." Ren comments as his weapons returned to his sleeve.
"Not this kinda. I can guarantee you once this is all done, we all are going to need therapy." Paracsus comments. As she begins to brew a cocktail of ingredients together.
"Na, we have you, I'm sure we will be fine." Nora comments making Parcus smirk under her mask.
"Yea I guess your right. I always wanted to see how you two tick." She said sinisterly that causes Nora to regret making an appointment with her.
"Well as fun as physical analogies for everyone is. I suggest we make haste off this ship." Paracsus remarks cheerful in a creepy way.
The rest nod in agreement and heads through the door finding themselves in the kitchen where a few unlucky survivors were being munched down on. As they looked up to spot the four. One lets out a loud croak clicking noise that attracts more from the cafeteria.
"Well I'd get ready you two, cause I think we will be facing the second course of this repas des damnés." J comment's at the sound of multiple feet racing towards them. He quickly cracks his neck before flipping his knife and sickle in a circular motion before getting into his battle stance.
The rest does the same getting ready for the fight ahead as multiple infected Atlas soldiers and a few Court members racing forwards towards them like a tidal wave of buzzing madness and death. Yet they remained ready before Nora let's out a war shout and the four raced forward towards the hoard ready for a fierce battle.
Hello everybody Wombag1786 here.
Alright let's answer some Q's and A's
Daggerfan: Alright wild child falls for redeeming convict with a heart of gold, sounds dangerous and fun to write, also this will not only make things weird for Ruby... actually gonna get way to weird and very complicated... I may need some time to process that. But still as much fun as it would be for me I'm gonna need a ship name to valuate it. Is "Yellow handed" sound like a good ship name? If not please place the renamed version, and let's try to keep it non ridiculous. God only knows how PRay can write naked sun ship with a straight face.
Thanks for writing Daggerfan
18Nichojar: Again Thank you for beta reading the story and sending me a fixed copy of the story. Now onto the subject of Houndmaster and flagellant. How do I say this without spoiling the story... I guess I can tell you that I do not have any ideas for the flagellant, but I do have special plans for the Houndmaster and a certain junior Detective. I know this doesn't confirm much about what I have in mind, but just trust me on this. Eventually you'll see my method in the eye of madness.
Thanks for writing 18Nichojar
Carre: 1: the word you are looking for is reminiscing. Cause that's what I just did.
2. The quote is by Patrick Dewitt who is a Canadian author. Where I found it is on google search. If you are talking about the characters that it's referring to then that will be answered once the segment is done. Trust me it's well worth the wait.
3. Ah, I see... well in any case the ghost pirates will be making the appearance, just later like half way through the second season... probably before the party after the highway fight. I don't know I haven't planned the details that far in yet.
4. Ay yes. RIP Mordin. (Tear) right so I'm also planning a karaoke moment. Dismas and Phrrya agreed so that's gonna happened on screen. J is very... convincing. (No seriously, he's holding a sickle to my neck as I'm writing this and if I don't comply with his demands he's gonna introduce me to mr staby)
5. Eh only through recent flashbacks. If I were to do it with the characters backstorys either the cuteness ruins the dark elements or it will traumatize those who watch Chibi. And you don't want to hurt Ruby-chan do you?
6. Um... wha? ...oh, now I get it. Sorry when I first read what you wrote I was confused by it till after reading it a few more times. Right so your onboard, well to cement the deal what if I were to add that the Dismas and winter ship is very (key word) connected to the White Rose ship. (If you have no idea the last chapters quote is the Dead giveaway.)
7. Thanks and I'll add the thumb to the pile of previous ones.
Thanks for writing Carre.
So again apologies for the late chapter but also a special thanks for Beta reader 18Nichojar for the revision of the previous 20 chapters. Now why'll writing this I had an idea that if the Atlas soldiers were to be infected with the Crimson Curse and turn, their mask will be cracked with only their nose exposed because they are slowly becoming longer like the courts nose. With their l mouths in a sorta three way split. And their tongues extended like from the movie alien. After drinking blood they will grow a sorta praying mantis like legs and their already Curse features will grow out more. Also praying mantises hands stick out of their guts. So think a mixture between a Necromoph from dead space and those praying mantis zombies from Resident evil Six.
Please Fav and Fol the story. Leave a comment about who do you think I should ship Dismas with.
You know what, how about I just leave a tally mark on Dismas ships and see how the community reacts to them. In the next chapter I'll tally it on votes. And depending on the votes this will effect how I end this story. So please vote.
This is Wombag1786 signing off.
