Volume 1 Issue 22: Heroes United: Dust & Shipping
Conference Room, Heroes United: Dust & Shipping Company Building
Patch
It was a week since the alien invasion, and the World of Remnant seemed to be split in two regarding the existence of Kirby.
Half of them seem to accept Kirby.
(mostly the females and children)
While the other half hated Kirby and wanted him killed or turned into a weapon as Cardin Winchester and his team did not seemed to help.
(mostly Jacques Schnee)
Flashback to the day after the invasion.
It was an early Sunday morning, and most of the students or staff were not even awake yet as it was the weekend.
So the parents of the newly revealed alien decided to test the waters to see how well people would react to Kirby by eating breakfast before going home.
"Alright, Kirby, time for breakfast." Ben whispered, trying not to wake the others up.
"Poyo?" (What?) Kirby asked, not even awake.
"We are taking you to eat breakfast in the Dining Hall." Yang said knowing Kirby wanted to make friends and this was the chance to do it.
"Poyo!" (YAY!) Kirby screamed before he was shushed by his parents.
"Shh! I know you're excited, but please try not to wake the others up." Ben stated, putting his finger to his lip.
Walking down to the Dining Hall, they got a few stares or more accurately Kirby got a few stares.
After reaching there usual table, Yang pulled out a few books so Kirby could see the top of the table.
"Hmm... we're going to need a high chair for later." Ben mumbled.
"Now Kirby we are going to get something to eat. You are to STAY HERE, don't go anywhere, don't except candy or food from strangers unless we say so, and don't talk to anyone you don't know without us around understand?" Yang asked, looking him right in the eyes.
"Poyo, Mommy." (Ok, Mommy.) Kirby replied before he started to play with his coloring book.
After making sure no one was going to do anything the two parents left to get some food, not seeing Team CRDL coming in or going right to there table.
"Hey isn't that the alien from the news yesterday?" Dove asked, pointing his index finger directly at the unsuspecting pink puffball as he played with his coloring book.
"Yeah, that thing brought nothing but death and destruction with it." Sky replied, not liking the pink puffball already.
"I'm going to teach it a lesson." Cardin added, cracking his knuckles as they walked over to the pink puffball.
Kirby, who was too wrapped up in his coloring book didn't noticed the bully picking him up until it was to late.
Quickly picking Kirby up, Cardin threw him halfway across the Dining Hall as he landed into a table.
As soon as he landed in the table, tears started to build up in his eyes and started to stream down his cheeks as he started crying loudly, confused of why the bully would hurt him.
"Cardin! I know that you don't like the alien as much as I do, but he is Tennyson and Xiao Long's kid! Think about what will happen if they both caught us!?" Russel asked, worried that the Human Shapeshifter and the Blonde Brawler will do to him and his teammates.
"He'd got lucky last time that's all! The freak needs to learn its place at the feet of its superiors." Cardin replied, not seeing a large shadow above there heads.
The few people who were in the cafeteria slowly backed up when they saw the Ultimate Vaxasaurian and the blonde Mama Bear with her Lilac eyes now Red while thinking, 'He is screwed!'
When the rest of Team CRDL noticed, they decided that it was better to live then to fight a pissed off set of parents.
So they moved FAR out of their way, leaving their leader to his fate.
Tapping Cardin on the shoulder, he turned around as he wished he hadn't since he saw two familiar individuals right in front of him.
What he saw was a pissed off Ultimate Vaxasaurian pointing his bio-gatling gun and Yang popping her knuckles.
"What do you think you are doing?" Ultimate Humungousaur asked, wanting nothing more than to shoot him where he stands.
"Teaching a freak his place." Cardin retorted in reply before he was punched in the face by an angry, red-eyed Yang Xiao Long.
"You know, Cardin, I was going to let Yang teach you a lesson but I think Rath would like to have a word with you." Ultimate Humungousaur stated, transforming into Rath but he was different.
Rath now has dark white skin and orange fur with black stripes. He is covered by fur everywhere except on his feet, hands, chest, neck, and most of his lower jaw. He has green bandages on his elbows, forearms, and wrists, and the ones on his wrists have three small green spikes on them. He has two giant claws on his hands and his fingers and toes now have smaller claws. He also has giant claws coming out from his elbows.
He wears black shorts with a orange belt that has black spikes and a black buckle. He also has a green coat with green eyes and four yellow fangs which all together resemble a saber-tooth tiger. He has three giant green spikes on his back that is covered by his coat's hood, which is made up of long, thick, black fur. His face is white with flipped up hair and sideburns, and his eyebrows are now green and sharp.
He wears the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
"ULTIMATE RATH!" The Ultimate Appoplexian shouted.
"Whoa! I didn't know you had this form." Yang said, amazed by her boyfriend's new Ultimate Form as her red eyes turned back to their lilac shade.
"Neither did I." Ultimate Rath replied, pouncing and landing in front of Cardin's face.
"LET ME TELL YOU FIVE THINGS, CARDIN WINCHESTER, LEADER OF TEAM CRDL! 1. RATH HAS HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR RACISM! 2. YOU CAN MESS WITH ME, BUT LEAVE RATH'S SON OUT OF THIS! HE IS JUST A BABY! 3. YOU KEEP THIS UP AND RATH WILL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! 4. RATH HATES BULLIES AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAND UP TO YOU! AND 5! You people are the reason why I had to go Way Big and help put an end to the violent White Fang. People like you deny their rights and then complain how the White Fang are terrorists it's because you people drove them there." Ultimate Rath said speaking normally at the end so he can help get the point across.
"Those animals should be grateful that we allowed them to walk our streets, eat our food, and wear clothes! So what if we ask them to do something for us? They should do it with a smile and then begged us for more work like the animals they are." Cardin stated before he was smashed into the floor.
"ORION BELT DROP!" Ultimate Rath roared, screaming the worst names for his unorthodox wrestling moves, that managed to impress his girlfriend.
"ANDROMEDA SCREAM!" Ultimate Rath yelled, kicking Cardin so hard in the nuts, his scream could be heard all over Beacon.
"LEO LION'S CLAW STRIKE!" Ultimate Rath screamed, raising his claws to disfigured Cardins face before he was stolen out of his hands by Glynda.
"You better have a good reason for attacking Cardin, Mr. Tennyson." Glynda stated to her student-teacher assistant.
"He attacked Kirby!" Yang answered, trying and failing to calm her adopted son down as he was still crying.
"WHAT!?" Glynda demanded with her Aura exploding.
"I MAY NOT HAVE THE POWER TO EXPEL YOU, BUT I WILL MAKE IT TO THE POINT OF THAT WHERE I WISH I COULD!" Glynda roared, dragging Cardin to Amber so they can torture- I mean teach- no I mean torture him.
While giving him a beating he will never forget.
"LET THAT BE A LESSON TO ANYONE WHO WISHES TO HARM MY SON!" Ultimate Rath yelled before he changed back so he and Yang could comfort Kirby.
"Shush, shush. There, there, Kirby, he won't hurt you anymore." Ben said before grabbing the food from earlier.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo?" (Why he hurt me?) Kirby asked, confused on why someone would want to hurt him as he still had tears streaming down his cheeks.
"You see, Kirby, in real life there will be people who really don't like you. I know it's really sad, but it's true." Yang answered, wanting to join the two huntresses in beating the bully who hurt her adopted son.
"Do you still want to stay here for breakfast?" Ben asked, getting a nervous no from Kirby.
"Alright, let's get something to eat then go home." Yang stated, clenching her fist in anger since this was supposed to be a happy moment for her son so he could possibly make some friends.
End flashback.
After that, most people were to afraid to approach Kirby due to their fear of a beating from either parent.
As Ben (who was Brainstorm) was working on some paperwork while listening to the news for any White Fang attacks or any news on trying to turn his son into a weapon.
"This just in! Reports of a new Dust company has been founded and built right on Patch. Faunus everywhere in Remnant are traveling there due to the company's promise of equal rights and zero tolerance to racism. According to one of our sources, this newfound Dust Company is called "Heroes United: Dust & Shipping Company." Lisa Lavender reported over the radio, causing him to smile remembering their official grand opening.
Flashback to the official grand opening of the Heroes United: Dust & Shipping Company
On the first floor of the newly opened Heroes United: Dust and Shipping Company, hundreds of chairs were set up with the room filled with both Human and Faunus as it almost began to overfill.
We now see our two heroes at the head in front of the reception desk with Rex wearing his hood again and Ben wearing his own trench coat as he bought it the day before with his own hood up while carrying Roman's cane.
(Just look up Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jacob Frye Maxim Dracula outfit.)
"I want to thank everyone for coming here today after the tragedy that happened two days ago." Rex began.
"Now you're probably thinking, "How do we know this is not another trick to get cheap Faunus labor while the Humans get better pay." We have no way to truly show this, but I swear on my honor of a parent and that there will be equal pay for all species." Ben added as he finished, making some of the people before them mumble.
One person who was a Wolf Fannus male in his early 20's, showing very early signs of gray hair stood up amongst the crowd.
"I have heard the same lines for nearly my whole life, and how do I know this is not a trick?" The man asked.
"You don't know until you try. Please tell me what is your name and what was your previous job." Asked Rex.
"My name is RJ and I was next in line for head cook at one of the major Schnee Mines. But, I was turned away from it for a cook who was only there for a month and guess what was human!" RJ answered professionally as he screamed at the words he just said last.
"You have a right to be angry, but anger will not get you what you want. Here is what is going to happen: I will call in a favor from Ozpin. If he is not too busy, then he will fairly judged how well your food taste and the winner will be the head chef." Ben explained, making the crowd mumble again.
"Ozpin is known to be always fair in everything." RJ mumbled.
"Alright, now we will began the interviews in about 30 minutes. So everyone is welcomed to help themselves to the food tables. But before we go, there is something everyone should know, we will not tolerate racism! Everyone, no matter what race will get three strikes. The first strike is a warning, the second strike you'll lose a days pay, and the third strike is you're out, you'll keep your pay, but you'll be no longer welcome to work here." The two CEO's said in unison before they went to the conference room.
Most people started to talk amongst there friends and future colleagues as few went to the food table.
It wasn't long until the Racism started.
"Stupid animals walking as if they where our equals!" Mumbled a soon to be example of no tolerance.
"You got a problem with us?" RJ asked helping people with food.
"Yeah, you animals should not been seen or heard! You should stay on your island that we gave you!" the same former employee from the ice cream shop said to him.
"You mean the island that you gave us with barley any room to grow or build with some of the most dangerous Grimm on the planet?" RJ asked.
"You should be grateful we gave you anything, it's not like you animals could use it properly!" Fred retorted, trying to punch RJ before he was lifted in the air.
When everyone turned to the source, they saw literally a living planet.
He is a large, bulky, reddish-brown alien with rocky skin, a giant mouth and a molten lava planet core at the center of his body. His feet are tan with three toes. He has three fingers and one thumb on each hand. He wears black shorts with green stripes and a green belt with white stripes. He wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his forehead.
This is Gravattack, an alien that can control Gravity.
"I remember you! You're the guy who denied me since because you thought I was a Faunus." Gravattack said, recognizing Fred.
"And you are the freak that put an "X" on the moon and raising that alien menace!" Fred screamed before he was thrown out the door.
"Anyone wanted to tell me what he did wrong?" Rex asked the crowd right in front of them.
"He insulted our race, tried to punch me until he came in and threw him out for using his three strikes." RJ explained.
"Thank you! Now, I just have shown that I was serious as we won't tolerate racism! So now that is out of the way, let's start the interviews. When we call your name, come up to the conference room right over here and we will get started." Gravattack explained, getting nods in return.
"RJ, since you kept a cool and calm head, would you like to go first?" Rex asked, getting a nod in return.
In the conference room.
"So tell me, RJ, why should we hire you? From your records, it says that one day you wished open your own restaurant, it also says that you are an amazing cook, but it also says you have a short temper. Can you please explain that?" Rex asked in a neutral yet professional tone.
"When I first started out, I did have a temper, but I had taken anger management classes and while I still have one, I can control it." RJ explained to the Human EVO.
"Hmmm... it says here that you where fired from your last job because you assaulted a fellow employe. Can you explain?" Ben asked, but we all know he was not asking.
"You see, I was taking a walk during my lunch break when all of a sudden, I heard a strange noise. My curiosity got the better of me so I went to check it out. What I saw brought out my long dormant temper, I saw the head chef sexually assaulting my little sister who came for a surprise visit. So in anger, I brought out my claws and fought him. Eventually we were separated, but I was fired and the guy got off of a slap on his wrist." RJ explained with his claws coming out a bit.
"I'm so sorry that had to happen you, but is your sister ok?" Ben asked in a sympathetic tone.
"She is doing a little better, but we can't afford counseling. So we risked it all to come here since I desperately need this job! She is only beginning to go to high school at the rate we're going to the point that I won't be able to pay for her college and I would do anything to protect her. When our parents died, I vowed that I would do anything to keep her happy." RJ explained with some tears.
The boys looked at each other feeling sorry for the man they knew he was not lying by his tone of voice, but they can't just hire him without giving him that.
"We'd thought of it and just decided to hire you, but there is something that we must do first." Rex stated before he was blinded by a flash of green light.
In Ben's place was AmpFibian raising a tentacle.
"To make sure that you're not a spy, we have to view your memories. I swear, I won't look through your private memories. But if I don't do this, then we can't hire you." AmpFibian explained.
"If it means that I can put Lily through college, then I'll do it." RJ agreed with some conviction in his tone.
After going through his memories, he found RJ was not a spy and has a cousin who have two kids: a girl and boy name Tiff and Tuff about Kirby's human age enrolled in a Huntsmen Academy in Vale for kids.
"Alright, I went through his memories and found out that he is not a spy and I'm sorry to say that I accidentally saw some other memories. Your cousin's kids are about my son's age do you think it is possible to set up a playdate?" Ben asked the Wolf Faunus.
Since the incident with Cardin, Kirby has been even more nervous about meeting new people and was afraid that they will hurt him.
"Possibly, I'll see what I can do after I go home later. When would you like me to start? I can start now!" RJ exclaimed excitingly, eager to start and tell Lilly about his new job.
"You can start tomorrow. Right now, we have to interview everyone before we are officially open tomorrow, go home and tell Lilly that she can go to college once she graduates." Ben stated, happy that he could help.
End flashback.
After going through the interviews, Ben had found a total of 16 spies sent to infiltrate their business as they were all set up by the same person, Jacques Schnee.
He sends out spies to take down Dust companies to see if he can buy them out or in the rare times, he can't destroy them through less then legal means.
Ben's trip through Memory Lane was cut off by the sound of his personal elevator opening up to reveal Ruby and Yang carrying Kirby.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Ben asked, turning back to normal.
"Just stopping by to say hi before we go and pick up Tiff and Tuff." Yang explained, giving him a kiss on the lips.
After the kiss, Ben started to think about Kirby's first play date with the siblings.
Flashback to Ben, Yang, and Kirby meeting the Ebrum Family
It was a bright Wednesday morning as Ben and his small family were going to meet Tiff and Tuff along with there parents in the same park they met Kirby.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo?" (Where are we going?) Kirby asked, hiding in his mothers chest whenever someone looked at him.
"We're going to meet some people while you play with there kids." Ben explained, making Kirby nervous.
"Poyo, Poyo, Poyo, Poyo?" (What if they hurt me?) Kirby asked as he was still nervous.
"Don't worry, Kirby, they won't hurt you. But if they do, then we will leave." Yang explained, making him nod his head in understanding.
"That reminds me this is for you Kirby." Ben added, pulling out a VERY small watch for Kirby's stubby arm.
"What's that?" Yang asked, looking at the very small watch her boyfriend was holding.
"It's like your translator, but whenever he speaks, it will sound like he was speaking fluent English or whatever language that person is speaking." Ben explained, putting the watch on his son's stubby right arm.
"Oh good they're here! Let's give it a test." Yang said walking over to the four.
The girl is about twice Kirby's height. Her skin is pale yellow, as is her long hair which she keeps in an ornate ponytail held by purple and orange clasps. She always wears a one-piece outfit which is pink on the top and green on the bottom, separated by a zigzag. She has orange shoes and large, expressive green eyes.
This is Tiff Ebrum, the oldest of the Ebrum Family.
The boy is a head taller than Kirby. His skin is a light orange color, unlike his family, as is the top of his hair. The tips are green, with the colors separated by a zigzag. His hair goes down over his eyes (which are strangely never seen nor is the absence of visible eyes ever noted by anyone). He only wears a pair of purple shorts held up by a single red suspender and green shoes.
This is Tuff Ebrum, Tiff's younger brother and the youngest of the Ebrum Family.
There father like Tiff has pale yellow skin, he has a very large pink mustache that covers most of his face. He has large light brown eyes. His hair like his mustache is pink and resembles an old powdered wig. He wears a Victorian style suit with a large orange bow.
This is Sir Ebrum.
The mother wears bright Green earrings, her eyes are light Red with pink eye shadow, she has hair but you can't see wear it starts But she does have a small Tuff of hair above her eyes, she wears a long pink Dress that like her husband covers her feet, she also has a orange scarf that covers her neck and is usual seen caring a pink hand fan.
This is Lady Like, Sir Ebrum's wife.
"Hello my Name is Ben Tennyson. are you Sir Ebrum and Lady Like?" Ben asked, shaking Sir Ebrum's hand.
"Yes we are, and these are our children Tiff and Tuff." Ebrum replied speaking in an English accent.
"Thank you for giving us your time to come out here. Why don't you kids go play at the park while we talk." Ben said as Tuff went to the playground.
"You too, Kirby!" Yang added, seeing her son still holding onto his father's leg.
"I got this, Yang." Ben said getting to one knee so he can look Kirby right in the eye.
"Kirby, I know you are scared about meeting new people, but you're going to have to be brave, they won't hurt you. If something does happen, then come to get me or your mother. Understand?" Ben asked.
"I'll try, Daddy." Kirby replied, showing the translator was working before walking to the playground with Tuff.
"Yang, you go watch the kids while me and Sir Ebrum talk." Ben instructed as Yang got up with Lady Luck.
"Now Sir Ebrum, I understand that you are the Vice Principal of Dream Land Academy. Is this true?" Ben asked the vice principal.
"Please, young man, call me Ebrum. Yes, I'm the vice principal, please tell me why you ask?" Ebrum replied as he asked the shapeshifter.
"For a few reasons. One, Kirby desperately needs friends, Two, we were hoping to reveal Kirby's existence later, but due to the invasion, he was revealed prematurely and not in a good light, Three, not a lot of schools wish to take him for one reason or another. Four, if he is not enrolled in a Huntsmen Academy by the end of Winter Break, we will have no choice but to hand him over to the Atlas Military. And Five, I am hoping that you can help out with this since money is no object if that's what you're looking for, but I must get him enrolled by the time we go back to school." Ben explained, ready to beg if necessary.
"Hmm, I see your point, I'll see what I can do, I don't like discussing business while my kids are playing. And, to be honest, I don't blame Kirby for the invasion, but I must also think of the parents might think about an alien attending the school." Sir Ebrum said twirling his mustache in thought.
"Please! Kirby is harmless but can defend himself if necessary. I don't want my son to be turned into a weapon." Ben added, worried about Kirby being into a weapon of destruction and chaos.
"Very well, I shall enroll him. Are you prepared to pay for his schooling as Dream Land Academy is a private school and is expensive?" Sir Ebrum asked, pulling out some papers.
"Yes, I am. It's a good thing that I brought my checkbook." Ben replied, pulling it out of his pocket.
"Very Good! Now let's discussed this say over dinner?" Sir Ebrum asked the Ultimatrix-bearer.
"That sounds lovely. Now, let's see how our kids are getting along." Ben suggested, getting a nod in return.
Going over to there wife and girlfriend respectively, they saw Kirby and Tuff playing one on one soccer game while Tiff was reading a book.
"What have they been doing so far?" Ben asked Yang.
"Mostly, they played soccer, but I think Kirby has finally made a friend his own age." Yang said proud that Kirby has made his first friend.
"I don't see what's so great about kicking a ball around when you could read a book." Tiff commented.
"Books are nice, but you can't play with a book or be friends with one. Sometimes you just got to put the book down and try something new like kicking a ball." Ben replied, knowing what Sir Ebrum's daughter was saying.
"Maybe. But unless you have a way to go underwater without coming up for air, then I'm not much for getting dirty." Tiff said wanting to explore Remnant's ocean.
"I might have a way to do just that with your parent's permission of course." Ben said making her excited as she looked at him.
"Seriously!? Can we mom and dad can we?!" Tiff asked her parents as she loves Marine Biology.
"I don't know, but is it safe?" Luck asked, worried for her daughter's safety.
"My friend Kevin is working on the repairs for it, but I have a way to do it faster if you want to?" Ben explained.
"Maybe for another time since we do have plans after this." Sir Ebrum replied, checking his pocket watch.
"Alright. Would you like to come over to our place for dinner to talk about what we discussed earlier?" Ben asked.
"That would be lovely, Mr. Tennyson, can you please tell us that were do you and your girlfriend live?" Lady Like asked the young couple.
"You are looking at one of the CEO's of Heroes United: Dust & Shipping Company. So just meet us there and the secretary will tell you where to go." Ben explained, much to the shock of the Ebrum Family.
End flashback.
Ben was cut off by his musings when he felt two familiar Aura signatures.
"What are they up to know?" Ben asked, getting a confused looks from the sisters.
"Who?" Ruby asked, having a good idea of what Ben was talking about.
"Your partners! Let's see what they want and I'll go get them." Ben explained turning into Ghostfreak as he flew through the floor.
At the front entrance.
"Alright, we're here. You got the cards?" Blake asked the heiress as the both of them were wearing their trench coats.
"Yes, do you remember the plan?" Weiss replied as she asked the former terrorist about remembering their plan.
"Yes, you're job is to cause a distraction so I can find my way to the mines while see you can find anything about the CEO's." Blake explained.
"Or you could just make an appointment." Ghostfreak added, appearing in between them and scaring the crap out of them.
"Ben! What are you doing here?!" Weiss asked, scared that she and Blake were trembling in fear of the Ectonurite's Aura of Intimidation.
"Help ruining our company." Ghostfreak retorted in reply.
"Wait, what are you saying…?" Blake began before she and Weiss were blinded by the familiar emerald flash and were lifted up by Gravattack as they were taken inside the building.
"Yes, me and Rex are the CEOS of this new Dust company." Gravattack explained, going to his and Rex's private elevator.
"Lilly, cancel any appointments. 'Cause me and my partner, we're going to have a long talk with these two." Gravattack ordered RJ's half Sister who turns out to be a Cheetah Faunus as she now works part-time here, much to the protest of her brother but can't say no to her.
"Sure thing, Mr. Tennyson." Lilly replied with a cute salute.
Back in there office.
"What are you two doing, I was coming down to invite you both up, but then I hear you're going to break into our company?" Ben asked before Rex came inside as dragged in another spy sent by Jacques Schnee.
"I caught another one in the Mines trying to sabotage our work." Rex explained before he noticed all of Team RWBY.
"They try to break in?" Rex asked, looking at the Kitty Cat and the Ice Queen in the same trench coats they wore to spy on them before.
"Yep. Honestly, I thought we would had more time." Ben replied, really wanting to install those bio scanners, but was backed up by paperwork.
'Note to self, ask Amber if she can help with this.' Ben thought, mentally making a note to contact their mother figure.
"I'm just seeing if my people are being treated right." Blake explained, wanting to make sure that the boys were giving their Faunus workers equal pay and equal rights of treatment.
"My father called and ordered me to see if I could find anything about the CEOS." Weiss added, as she and Blake both felt really guilty for doing this.
"I'm not mad at you two, I'm just disappointed. After all, we did tell you and Team JNPR our secrets." Ben stated, making them feel worse as they remembered that he and Rex told their secrets and origins.
Flashback to when Ben and Rex tell their origins and secrets to Weiss, Blake, and Team JNPR
"So, you are from an alternate dimension, where you are Human but known as an "EVO" due to these microscopic machines in your body?" Blake asked skeptically.
"And you're from another alternate dimension that is parallel to his as your watch lets you transform into over 1 million different aliens?" Weiss asked secondly.
"And now you're unlocking your powers on your grandma's side who is an actual alien energy being that can manipulate this Aura-like energy called "Mana"?" Nora added, getting a nod from the boys.
"That actually makes a lot of sense." Ren stated in a weird way.
"It's no wonder why you couldn't tell anyone about your powers." Jaune said as he and Pyrrha agreed with their teammate.
"Why are you telling us now?" Weiss asked the two boys.
"A. Because you saw us use our Semblances. B. We trust you enough not to tell anyone." Rex explained as Ben agreed with him.
End flashback.
Back to the Present
"We were going to wait until tomorrow to tell you two, but don't think I don't know about you two checking the building." Ben stated, reminding them that he can sense their Auras.
"So, what are you going to do to us? I got what I came for, so I won't cause any problems." Blake asked already satisfied by the boy's company of giving her people their treatment of equal rights and assuring the boys that she won't cause any trouble.
"You can leave after we take care of Weiss." Ben explained, making Weiss's eyes widen as soon as her name came right out of his mouth.
"What do you mean?" Weiss asked, nervously reaching for her rapier.
"We need to make sure you that won't tell anyone of how we made our fortune." Rex explained, not wanting the Ice Queen to tell her father.
"If you tell anyone especially your father, I will never trust you again, and I won't let you see Kirby ever again, Weiss Willow Schnee." Yang stated, using her full name to get the point across.
"Alright, I won't tell anyone how you did it, but I have to tell him something." Weiss replied, not wanting to never see Kirby ever again as she loves him and wants to play with him.
"Tell him how we are. I want him to know that we have more money than him in a week than he has in a month." Rex explained to the Schnee Dust Company heiress.
Before Weiss could say anything, her scroll started to vibrate in her pocket.
She pulled it out to reveal her older sister, Winter Schnee as she was calling her scroll by face time.
"Go ahead and answer." Ben said putting her scroll in tablet mode so she can see her sister better, but she wish that she hadn't.
What she saw was Winter mostly covered by yellow octopus-like skin with her intestines been slightly opened in the middle of her stomach.
"Weiss, I don't have much time to explain what is going on, I can feel this thing clawing at my mind and it's taking control of my body. I've only got just enough to say these words. Please, show this video to General Ironwood, make it where the island of Menagerie is forever quarantined! We cannot allow these things to get to the mainland as the Faunus here started to disappear as eyewitness claimed it was a new type of Grimm! So, we followed our protocol and the R&D along with a few troops and myself as we came to investigate, but it was a trap! These things just appeared out of nowhere and started placing these strange octopuses on people's heads as they started to take over their minds and bodies! As far as I know, I am the last one of the Atlesian Research & Department to come here and still be sane! Please, I'm begging you don't come here to Menagerie!" Winter begged her little sister befores she was cut off by an explosion, creating a wave that knocked her scroll out of her hand.
"WINTER!" Weiss screamed, as her older sister was being taken over by some sort of alien parasite and her scroll was being knocked out of her hand by an explosion.
When the camera landed, they saw a Cat Faunus with short hair and three gold piercings on her cat ears - two on her right, one on her left. She wears a black hakama and sandals with white tabi socks. Over her outfit, she wears a black shrug with a long right sleeve and a short left sleeve, gold leaf trim adorning the opening on the front. She wears long, black arm warmers that extend to the middle finger. The left warmer has a purple band tied around the top and a pair of gold bangles around the wrist. Around her waist is a black and gold sash that trails behind her, with a gold flower-shaped buckle at the end.
This is Kali Belladonna, Blake Belladonna's mother.
"MOM!" Blake shouted, her mother in danger of being infected like Weiss's sister.
"BLAKE, DON'T COME TO MENAGERIE! ITS- AHH!" Kali screamed before the wave hit her, causing her face to extend into a snout before something fell in front of the camera, causing the transformation to happen off-screen.
Everyone just started in absolute silence before Ben and Rex realized something what just happened in Menagerie.
"Those were DNALIENS!" Ben shouted, shocked that he thought that he'd destroyed all of the Xenocytes including the Xenocyte Queen, but shocked of how another Xenocyte Queen arrived in Remnant.
"That was a Nanite wave." Rex added, also shocked of how an Nanite explosion appeared in Remnant which was physically impossible since the Nanites only existed in his universe.
Needless to say, both of our heroes our now going to be doing a lot of curing genetic damage to both infected Faunus-DNAliens and Faunus-E.V.O.'s on the infected island of Menagerie.
Omake: A Cosplay between Hot and Cold.
"Raven" and "Summer" were walking to the foot of the Beacon Academy Statue after their boyfriends called them over.
They were asking them to dress up as there mothers so they could see who could go the longest without breaking character.
When they got there, they saw Ben and Rex FLIRTING with Weiss and Blake.
Enraged, "Raven" and "Summer" walked over to grab the boys by their shoulders only for it to go right through them, revealing it to be a hologram.
"What the-?" "Summer" asked before she dodged a large sword, letting her fellow cosplaying mother to block it as they turned to look at the wielder of the large sword.
It was a a tall, muscular young man, with fair skin, spiky white hair, a pitch black right arm and heterochromia; in his case his left eye is green, while his right eye is red. These distinguishing features are a side effect caused by the Azure Grimoire when it replaced his lost arm. His left ear has a green, studded earring and on his chest and he has a black, half-sun-shaped symbol with the inscription -No.5- above it tattooed on his chest. This symbol also appears on parts of his clothing, but without the inscription.
His usual outfit consists of a red, long-sleeved jacket with padded shoulders and multiple silver plates fastened on the arms and sides. Attached to the lapels of his jacket are two black straps with silver buckles that wrap under his arms and intersect at the back, they are connected to his shoulder pads by small gold buttons. On the back of his jacket are a set of two red straps with silver tips hanging from it, which reach down to his ankles. Underneath the jacket is a simple, long-sleeved black shirt with a white trim. He also wears a pair of black gloves which have Seithr Regulators on the back of them, as well as a black hakama, two large black belts with silver belt buckles and a pair of red boots with steel toecaps.
This is "Ragna the Bloodedge" AKA "The Grim Reaper."
His weapon of choice is a sword with a large blade called "Aramasa" or more commonly known as "Blood-Scythe."
The reason his sword called "Blood-Scythe" is because similar to Qrow's weapon, "Harbinger", it can transform into a scythe.
However, the difference is that Blood-Scythe doesn't have a gun feature, but what makes it so unique is that like his Azure Grimoire, it can slowly drain the souls of his victims as he absorbs those souls to replenish his own.
The other person who came out behind the Beacon Academy Statue was a slim yet muscular young man with fair skin, short, blond hair, and green eyes.
He wears the blue uniform of the NOL infantry division. His uniform consists of a sleeveless blue coat with red lining and gold trimmings, a sleeveless white tunic secured at the waist with three black belts, and underneath everything a black form-fitting, full-length bodysuit with long sleeves. He wears a pair of thick, long, white gloves folded over just below his elbows. Detached, long blue strips of cloth are attached to his coat by a pair of large silver buttons near his shoulders. They end in black triangles with a single gold stripe on the outside, while the inside remains completely blue. These sleeves reach down to his knees and also have large pauldrons. He also wears the standard blue NOL infantry boots, which bear gold trimmings, a gold cross along the tongue of the boots, and silver metal toes.
This is "Jin Kisaragi" AKA "The Hero of Ikaruga" and also the "brother" of "Ragna the Bloodedge".
His weapon of choice is an Ice Sword in the shape of a Japanese Sword, a Katana sheathed in a "jolting sapphire" scabbard named Yukianesa.
Yukianesa's blade is made of a special ice that never melts.
It has the ability to absorb any magic element or Seithr and crystallize the water in the air to use as weapons, or freeze its targets directly.
The ice created by this Nox Nyctores is so powerful, that it is capable of eroding life itself.
As the two boys were staring at the girls in front of them, the two mothers quickly realized that the two boys were actually their boyfriends as they were cosplaying their characters that they didn't recognize.
Both of them started blushing so hard, they couldn't but admit that they were handsome in their cosplays as they looked so badass.
"Summer" was flattered and started giggling demonically of how Rex was copying her color scheme and his white spiky hair reminding her of Qrow. She also loved the red cloak that Rex was wearing as she stared at the large sword that he was holding, wondering if it can transform into a scythe like hers or her Uncle Qrow's as she was still blushing of how handsome he looked. Now she also wanted to tease him by not only throwing her Kukri knives and other knives near his "little friend", but also with her black combat boots as they possessed something very sharp hidden underneath the red soles. And, she wants to have "fun" with him while interrogating and scaring him into submission.
"Raven", however, also blushed as she couldn't help but sport a perverted grin on her face as Ben looked so yummy in his cosplay and giggled that once she defeats him, she's going to have "fun" with him while Kirby is not around and tease him by not only placing her sword near his "little friend", but also wanting to trace the blade over his muscular body. And, she's going to tell him that he's going to talk as she plans to use a few moves that her mother taught her so she can use them to scare him into being submissive to her.
So the two mothers decided to play along and in character for now as they put on their respective masks, ready to fight their respective boyfriends and have fun intimidating and teasing them after they knocked them out and interrogate them of why they would trick them of making a hologram of them flirting with Weiss and Blake.
Quickly switching places, "Jin" began to attack "Raven" in a open sword fight with his Japansese swordsmanship of Iaidō.
"Ragna", however, stabbed Blood-Scythe into the ground as he held up his right arm in front of "Summer", ready to speak his signature activation code for his Azure Grimoire.
"Restriction 666 released, Dimensional Interference Field deployed! Now engaging the Idea Engine! BlazBlue, activate!" The Grim Reaper commanded, the red shell on the back of his right glove opening up to reveal his Azure Grimoire as it began to glow and surround his entire body in a Blue Aura as an emblem of the Blue which is also the Black Beast's emblem as it appeared in front of him, making "Summer's" silver eyes widen and sparkle under her bleeding, silver-eyed glowing Devil Mask at his awesome power and the strange emblem.
"Take this, you son of a bitch!" "Ragna" yelled, now grabbing Blood-Scythe in his right hand as he began to attack "Summer" after he powered himself up with his Azure Grimoire.
Meanwhile, The two sword masters began to block every swing, every strike, and every counter as it was obvious that these two were evenly matched.
"Do you know who I am?" "Raven" asked, jumping back to switch her blade to a red Dust blade or Fire Dust blade.
"A soon to be frozen statue." "Jin" replied with a voice cold enough to freeze Lava.
"And here I thought that I was cold hearted..." "Raven" mumbled, switching out to her signature red Dust Blade.
With "Summer" and "Ragna", the fight was not going to well in "Summer's" opinion.
First, she can't get away from her fellow cosplaying student, and second, his vulgar language is a big problem in her opinion.
"Hold the flying f**k still so I can see how you like Yang's poor a** cooking!" "Ragna" shouted, blocking a few knives with Blood-Scythe that where thrown his way.
This went on for about two minutes until "Ragna" had enough and pushed a button on his sword, causing it to extend and transform into a scythe with a crimson blade.
"HEY! You stole that from Uncle Qrow!" Ruby pointed out before she realized what she said.
"Go sit your f**king a** down, you brat!" "Ragna" roared, pointing at a bench in the Beacon Academy Courtyard.
"LANGUAGE! What if Kirby heard you?!" Ruby shouted, reminding her boyfriend about Kirby as she sat down on the bench, pouting that she lost while still wanting to ask him about how he made his scythe by copying her Uncle Qrow's and also wanting to hold it as it was so cool and just like her Crescent Rose.
Running to help his "brother", the three began to fight as it was clear that "Raven" was being overwhelmed.
"Give up and I will show mercy..." "Jin" said with his voice colder than space.
"NEVER!" "Raven" shouted before she was knocked out by "Ragna."
"What?! You said to knock this b*tch out!" "Ragna" exclaimed, seeing the look he was getting.
"I said to make her give up, not knocked out, dumbass!" "Jin" retorted, carrying Yang to her dorm while "Ragna" carried Ruby in bridal style as she was still asking questions about his Blood-Scythe.
Later in Team RWBY's dorm.
After 30 minutes, Yang finally woke up to see all of her weapons and gear along with Ruby's was taken away as it was sitting in a table in front of them.
Looking around, she noticed that she and Ruby were hanged to their dorm's ceiling by chains drilled into the roof.
Yang tried to activate her Semblance, but all she got was a shock, showing that she and Ruby had Aura sealing cuffs on her wrists.
"Don't bother trying to break out. According to Ben, these chains are strong enough to make Way Big struggle." Ruby said as she didn't even bother trying to escape.
Before Yang could say anything, the boys who were still in their cosplay out came back with two silver platters with cloches included.
"What's with the plates?" Yang asked before an amazing scent assaulted the her and Ruby's noses.
With the removal of the cloches, the two knew what was about to happen.
For Rex, his was a plate full of Chocolate Chip Cookies and a glass of milk.
And for Ben, his was a bowl full of Ramen or perfectly cooked and boiled noodles, with lots of onions, chives, mint leaves, and perfectly cut and cooked steaks.
"If you were going to make us something, you could have just told us you know." Ruby said, drooling at the chocolate chip cookies and milk that Ben made for her.
"Who said this is for you?" "Ragna" asked, keeping the profanity down to zero in case Kirby walks in.
"Since I can't make anything short of perfection, I've simply decided to make your favorite foods as Rex and I will eat them right in front of you without sharing." "Jin" said with a cruel smirk, enjoying there horrified faces.
10 minutes of "agonizing" torture for the Xiao Long-Rose half-sisters.
"Do you promise to never jump straight to conclusions again?" "Ragna" asked his and his partner's respective girlfriends.
"YES, WE PROMISE! JUST PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS!" the half-sisters begged in unison before they were let down.
After they were let down, they got their weapons and gear back as they put it back on while the last two members of Team RWBY came inside.
When Weiss saw "Jin", she started to blush hard at how handsome and organized he looked.
"Who are you, and do you maybe want to go out somewhere?" Weiss asked, not knowing that she was basically bleeding in a pool of sharks.
"Sorry Ice Queen, but you might want to start running." "Jin" said removing his blonde wig as he revealed his true identity to Weiss.
Paling because she realized what she did, Weiss ran out just in time to avoid a punch and a sword slice from an angry and jealous, red-eyed "Raven."
"Cosplaying again?" Blake asked, not at all bothered by the chains.
"Yep, now if you'll excuse me, I've got to make sure Yang doesn't kill Weiss." Ben said putting his blonde wig back on as he gave chase to his cosplaying girlfriend, trying to stop her from killing the Ice Queen that shamelessly flirted with him.
