A/N: This takes place after the events of 'Breach' and before the events of 'Round One'.
Junior's Place: The Next Day
It's been a tough couple of days for Junior and his bar. Not only with the property damage thanks to the blind bimbos weekly visits and her boyfriend. But also local visits from the White Fang who constantly 'borrow' Junior's men and the local gangs and crime syndicates who come by and threaten him with 'protection fies'. Junior's supply of men has been cut in half and the only REAL protection that Junior gets is the Malachite Twins who only have trouble with the biggest and baddest who come by and decided to ruffle Junior up.
Junior stood behind the bar counter as he took a few Aleve as he rubbed his temples. The Malachite Twins noticed this as they walked up to him and tried to figure out what was wrong.
"Junior, is everything okay?" Asked Maltia.
"No Maltia, currently our supply of men has been cut in half and the White Fang along with local gangs have been becoming more threatening. I know you girls are tough and you are the toughest muscle I have here but... Eventually, someone will come in here BESIDES blondie and monobrow who won't be as merciful, and... Well... I guess you know what happens then." Said Junior as he went back to rubbing his temples.
"Than what do you suppose we do then Junior?" Asked Melanie.
"Maybe... Hire some new muscle... BIG muscle who can take down any smart aleck who decides to come around and treat us and this place like dirt." Said Junior.
"Someone who can be manipulated to work for us?" Asked Melanie as Maltia's face lit up with an idea.
"I think I have an idea who." Said Maltia as Junior and Melanie leaned in to listen to her idea.
Beacon Courtyard:
"Oh oh! Look, guys, art. I call this one, 'To Noodle or Not to Noodle.'" Said Ed as he holds up a piece of paper with one piece of macaroni stuck to it then holds up another one thats identical. "And this one I will call, 'No More for Me, Thanks, I am a Russian.'" Said Ed talking to Double D and Ruby.
"Well, macaroni art seems to have really brought out your creative side, Ed." Said Double D carefully searching for a complement.
"Yeah Ed, that's pretty good. I think I expose my artistic side too." Said Ruby as she held up macaroni art that looked like the rear end of a corgi.
"Umm... Ruby, what is that?" Asked Double D.
"What you don't like it? It's a butt." Said Ruby as Ed smiled and Double D tried to think of another nice thing to say.
"Well then, I believe it brought out all of our creative sides then." Said Double D.
"Yeah, just like it brought out all these paying customers who'll–*sarcastically cheerful*–just flip for Double D's Arts and Crafts fair!" Said Eddy cheering with him, Ruby, Double D, and Ed sitting at a few tables lines up with a banner that spells out 'Double D's Arts and Crafts fair'.
"Remember the last time we did this? Two words, Double D. Lame. O." Said Eddy.
"And THAT'S the only reason I decided to come and help out with this. So I don't have to feel like I have to wear a bullet proof vest whenever I hang out with you guys when your doing your... Thing." Said Ruby.
"A fool's bolt is soon shot, Eddy. It is well documented that homemade anomalies perk one's curiosity! Can you honestly say that this butterfly made from common household twaddle isn't delightful?" Asked Double D holding up the butterfly art project.
"I'm still stuck on that 'fool's bolt' line." Said Eddy.
"Yeah, me too. Can ya help me Double D?" Asked Ruby trying to craft the art piece.
"Why of course Ruby. Just allow me to-"
"Whoops! Guys? I think I glued my head to the table. Again." Said Ed as his head was, indeed, glued to the table. As Eddy giggled and Ruby tried to hold back her giggles with Double D getting an exhausted look.
"Oh, Ed, how on earth did you ever–"
"Hiya, Ed." Said Miltia and Melanie Malachite, both standing on either side of the table Ed's head was glued too.
"Welp, that's it for me!" Said Ed, just accepting what was happening and giving up.
"You're coming with us!" Said the twins as they lifted the table and began to walk away.
"Okey-dokey, ladies! Um, see ya guys! A lesson in life I am sure to get. Yep, I have seen better days." Said Ed as the twins carried Ed away in the distance.
"DID YOU SEE THAT?!" Yelled Double D pointing in the direction of the kidnapping.
"What are those chicks doing with Monobrow?" Asked Eddy.
"Wait a second, those were the Malachite Twins!" Said Ruby as Eddy and Double D turned to her with confused looks.
"Who?" Asked Eddy and Double D in unison.
"A club that Yang goes to a lot, those two girls are supposed to be security there. But I don't know why they would kidnap Ed like that." Said Ruby.
"Whatever the case, we have to save Ed! We have no idea what those kidnappers have planned for him!" Said Double D.
"Ed can take care of himself Sockhead, he can turn into a giant monster and just-"
"No..." Said Ruby as her face began to fill with a sense of fear and realization.
"What? What'ya mean Rubes?" Asked Eddy.
"We need to find Ed and bring him back as FAST as we can before Yang finds out!" Said Ruby scared.
"What are you talking about Ruby?" Asked Double D.
"Whenever someone Yang REALLY cares about is in harms way, she gets... OVERLY protective... And if she figured out Ed was kidnapped she would be out for blood! Considering how much she cares for Ed, she will DESTROY that club and everyone in it just to get to Ed..." Said Ruby with fear in her eyes.
"So? What's the big deal? We'll just tell Yang and then she'll just save Ed herself. Problem solved." Said Eddy.
"Eddy! Considering Yang's capability of such power and destruction with a bad tempter, I believe it would be best to try to not cause any unnecessary casualties or destruction." Said Double D.
"No! No! No! No! No! You don't understand! If she figured out you guys were THERE when Ed was kidnapped and you didn't do anything about it! She'll go after YOU TOO!" Said Ruby.
"What's the worst she can do?" Asked Eddy.
"When I was about six, my dad bought me and Yang to the play ground. Yang was being pushed on the swing sets by our dad and I was playing in the sandbox and making a sand castle. I was having a lot of fun when I completed it, until a boy looked over and walked over, kicking the sand castle down and calling me names as I cried... Yang heard the sounds of me crying as she ran over. And when she saw me crying in the sandbox and the boy standing over me and laughing. She walked over and... And-"
"What? Stick sand in his shorts?" Asked Eddy giggling.
"She punched him into orbit..." Said Ruby dead serious as Eddy stopped laughing and Double D and Eddy looked at her with shock in their eyes.
"That's when Yang found out there was another kid that saw what was happening when I was in the sand box, he could've helped or at least called an adult. But he just watched and when Yang found out... Have you guys ever herd of a super atomic wedgie?" Asked Ruby, with Eddy and Double D nodding their heads no. "It's when you give someone a wedgie so painful with the victim screams so loud that they just... Blow up..." Said Ruby. And with the look in her eyes... She was not joking.
"So... What are we waiting for? Let's get our weapons and save Ed!" Said Eddy fearfully as he walked over back to Beacon with Double D and Ruby following along.
"That was a great story you made up to scare Eddy into following along and trying to save Ed Ruby." Said Double D turning to face Ruby, only to see Ruby starring back dead serious as she said.
"It wasn't made up..." Said Ruby as Double D's face grew an expression of fear.
Team RWBY Dorm:
Ed and Double D already retrieved their weapons as they followed Ruby into her dorm to allow her to get Crescent Rose, just in case. Blake and Weiss were already in class and luckily Yang was out. As Ruby got her weapon and put it away, she turned back to the two other Ed's as she said.
"Alright, I think I have an idea of where the twins will be taking Ed. Just follow me guys and- Woah!" Ruby, Double D and Eddy as Yang suddenly showed up in the doorway.
"Hey guys, why so jumpy?" Asked Yang smiling. The three made a collective sigh as Ruby started to speak.
"Maybe YOU should not jump up on people like that!" Said Ruby still a little shaken as Yang giggled.
"Calm down little sis, I'll keep that in mind. I just swung by to pick up my Scroll. By the way where's Ed?" Asked Yang as Double D and Eddy started sweating with fear.
"Umm... Ed is uhh... Out! He just went out." Said Ruby.
"... Did something happen to Ed?" Asked Yang in a more serious tone.
"NO!" Yelled the three in unison.
"Because I will break EVERY bone of the person who decided to hurt my Big Ed! And for the bystanders who could've done something about it I'll-" Yang was interrupted.
"YANG! Everything is fine, Ed just went out to... Umm..." Double D trailed off.
"Get Jawbreakers!" Said Eddy.
"Buy jewelry for you!" Said Ruby.
"Both!" Said Double D as the three continued to smile at Yang with nervous smiles. With Yang looking at them with a suspicious look of her own. Until she smiled and said.
"Alright then, tell tall, green, and handsome I said 'Hi' if you see him again." Said Yang as she grabbed her Scroll from her bed. "See ya guys later!" Said Yang as she left with the three giving sighs of relief.
"That was close..." Said Eddy wiping away sweat from his brow.
"Let's get goin' guys!" Said Ruby as the three walked off to go find Ed.
Junior's Place:
Ed was standing there wearing a black and white suit that was given to him with the Malachite Twins standing on either side of him and Junior himself standing in front of the big lughead.
"Happy to see you girls got some more muscle, just what we need! Someone whose big, strong, and is stupid enough to do anything we say!" Said Junior as the twins nodded happily. Hearing that they did a good job.
"Wow, look at all the pretty colors." Said Ed looking around at all the flashing lights above the dance floor. "You guys really fixed up the damage me and Yang did here since the last time we came." Said Ed as Junior growled at the unpleasant memory.
"Yeah, I remember." Growled Junior. "And your gonna pay me back by working as security here!" Yelled Junior.
"Okey-Dokie Smokie!" Said Ed as Junior developed a surprised face.
"Wha- Really? Your not gonna beat up my men and bust out or anything?" Asked Junior.
"It seem fair to me... I broke your stuff and now I'm gonna have to pay you back." Said Ed smiling.
"Oh... Well okay then- But if you get any ideas! The twins will keep their eyes on you all day! I'm gonna get back to work, so all your gonna be doing is keeping an eye out for any trouble makers! Alright?" Asked Junior as Ed saluted Junior.
"No problem chief!" Said Ed as Junior turned around and walked away.
"Umm... What do we do now?" Asked Ed looking at the two twins who kidnapped him in the first place.
"Didn't you hear what Junior said? Keep an eye out for any trouble makers! Until then, we just hang out." Said Melanie.
"Sound boring, what if we do something fun?" Asked Ed.
"Like what?" Asked Miltia as Ed poked Miltia and Melanie on there foreheads as he ran away and said "TAG! YOUR IT!" As he ran away laughing.
"GET BACK HERE!" Yelled the twins in unison as they chased the big lump around.
City of Vale:
The two Ed's and Ruby continued to walk down the streets of Vale Eddy spoke up.
"So... This Junior guy who runs the place. Is he bad news?" Asked Eddy.
"I'm not really sure, Yang said she loves smacking him and his men around so... Not really sure." Said Ruby.
"Either way I hope Ed will be alright." Said Double D.
"Calm down Sockhead, burrhead's gonna be fine." Said Eddy smiling. "Besides if this place is really a club, I wouldn't mind stoppin' by and seeing what it's like. To check out the chicks hangin' out there." Said Eddy as Ruby and Double D rolled their eyes.
"Of course, Casanova Eddy... Just like all those imaginary girlfriends you talk about." Said Ruby as she giggled.
"Just keep walking Rose peddle." Said Eddy as the three continued to walk down the street with Ruby leading them.
"Okay, I think it's just a few more blocks away. We just need to- ugh-!" Said Ruby as she bumped into something and fell on her rear end.
"Ouch!" Said Ruby as she was helped up by Double D. "Ruby are you okay?" Asked Double D.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry Ruby." Said a familiar voice.
"Wait, your that weird girl I saw with Ruby a few weeks ago!" Said Eddy as Ruby opened her eyes and saw Penny standing there, holding an ice cream cone.
"Penny, what are you doing here?" Asked Ruby.
"I'm just walking around this delightful city and eating this frozen dairy product." Said Penny as she happily licked the ice cream. "Have you tried it before Ruby? It is delectable." Said Penny smiling. "And who are these two gentlemen your traveling with Ruby?" Asked Penny.
"Oh, Penny this is Eddy and Double D. They're actually aliens from another world. And Eddy and Double D, this is Penny Polendina, a good friend of mine." Said Ruby.
"Hello there! It is a pleasure to meet both of you!" Said Penny smiling at the two boys. Double D and Eddy just stood there for a second until Eddy leaned over to Double D and whispered.
"I didn't think Ruby would be friends with a freak." Whispered Eddy.
"Eddy! Manners!" Whispered Double D back as he smiled at the girl yet again.
"Very nice to meet you Miss Polendina, I haven't ever seen you around Beacon before." Said Double D.
"That is because I don't go to Beacon, but I will drop by when the tournaments start up." Said Penny taking another lick of her ice cream.
"Wait... Your gonna fight in the tournaments?" Asked Eddy a little baffled.
"I am combat ready!" Said Penny.
"Penny that's awesome! I can't wait to see you there!" Said Ruby.
"Well of course she can fight Eddy! I am 100% sure that an android can handle themselves on a battle field." Said Double D as Ruby, Eddy, and Penny all starred at him with shocked expressions. With Penny's ice cream sliding off the cone and falling on the floor.
"... What?" Asked Double D as Penny turned over to look at Ruby.
"You told him? You... lied to me Ruby?" Asked Penny feeling a little betrayed.
"She's a robot?!" Asked Eddy in shock.
"No! Penny! I haven't told ANYONE about that! I swear to you I didn't-"
"Ruby is telling the truth!" The three all looked over at the skinny genius.
"Ruby never told me or Eddy over here ANYTHING about that! I just spend enough time reading about robotics and androids that I recognized you weren't human! I apologize..." Said Double D.
"Ohh... Okay then, I am sorry I accused you Ruby." Said Penny turning to face Ruby.
"No problem, he's just a really smart guy." Said Ruby.
"But wait... Your seriously a robot?" Asked Eddy still a little flabbergasted.
"Yes I am, I am the first of my kind to actually have the ability to retain an Aura of my own." Said Penny.
"Wow... How much did it cost to make you?" Asked Eddy.
"EDDY!" Yelled Ruby and Double D.
"What? It was a legitimate question!" Said Eddy.
"I am unsure." Said Penny.
"Well, even though we can stay and play 20 questions all day we gotta go and save Ed." Said Ruby.
"Your right Ruby, it was nice to meet you Miss Polendina. See you at the tourniments!" Said Double D as the three continued to walk along, until they were halted by Penny once more.
"Wait! You are going on a mission to save this 'Ed' right? Can I join you?" Asked Penny happily.
"Sorry Penny, but we don't want to put you in any unnecessary danger." Said Ruby.
"Plus, the position of a little girl in our group has already been taken! Let's go guys!" Said Eddy walking along, but stopped when he noticed that his two collogues weren't following along.
"Guys?" Asked Eddy turning around as he saw Ruby and Double D staring at Penny who was looking at them both with huge adorable puppy dog eyes.
"Guys!" Yelled Eddy annoyed.
"Oh, come on Eddy look at her!" Said Ruby.
"And that ADORABLE little haircut, who knew an android can be so cute? Honestly." Asked Double D.
"Let's let her come along." Said Ruby.
"Say what?!" Asked Eddy annoyed at he looked at Penny still giving off that incredibly cute puppy dog look with Double D and Ruby giving Eddy a begging look.
"Uuuuuuugggghhhhh!" Moaned Eddy annoyed as he continued to walk with Penny, Ruby, and Double D following along.
"Aww, now she's smiling!" Said Double D as Penny was indeed smiling.
"Oh! So now it's cute!" Said Eddy.
"Come on Eddy, lighten' up!" Said Ruby.
Juniors Place:
The group finally made it to the area Ruby led them to. As she looked around she nodded her head.
"This is the place." Said Ruby as the group walked over to the entrance and made their way inside. As they made it inside the members of the group look on at the environment of the club.
"So this is the club where Yang goes, I can see why someone like her would like it here." Said Ruby.
"Yet I must say that it does not feel very safe with all those men in red glasses and black suits starring at us." Said Double D to see those men starring back at them.
"Don't worry, I bet those guys will only give us trouble if we cause any trouble." Said Eddy.
"But... Aren't you here to save your friend from the very people who run this club?" Asked Penny.
"Yeah, but when we find monobrow, we'll bust out of this joint before any of those Yahoo's figure it out." Said Eddy. "Besides, I kinda like the looks of this place. Maybe I should try something like this when I have a chance. Never made a scam like a bar before." Said eddy smiling, still thinking about scams more then the safety of his friend with Ruby and Double D rolling their eyes.
"Of course Eddy, your concern for Ed's safety is outstanding." Said Double D.
"Hey guys, I think I see Ed sitting over there!" Said Ruby pointing over to the bar counter where they saw Ed sitting there with the twins that kidnapped him in the first place. As the group walked over they called out to him.
"Ed! Are you okay?" Double D, in response to this Ed and the two girls turned around to face the group of four.
"Hiya guys! What brings you around here?" Asked Ed.
"Ed... Do you know that your sitting next to the two ladies who kidnapped you right?" Asked Ruby pointing at the sisters.
"Oh yeah, don't worry, we're not gonna hurt Ed. We've actually gotten to know each other, he's a really cool guy." Said Melanie.
"Wow Ed, first Yang now these two. What's next? Ya gonna kick it with Velvet?" Asked Eddy.
"Oh no Eddy, we're just friends." Said Ed smiling as he looked over at the new girl standing there that he's never seen before. "Hello there new friend! Who are you?" Asked Ed looking at Penny.
"I am Penny Polendina. Please to meet you Ed!" Said Penny extending her arm. However she wasn't expecting for Ed to jump from his seat and hug his new friend.
"Ed is always happy to meet new friends!" Said Ed crushing the helpless android.
"Ed, I think that's enough." Said Ruby as Ed let go of the robot girl and said. "Sorry if I hurt you."
Penny just smiled as she replied with "It's no trouble, do you want to hang out sometime Ed?" Asked Penny out of nowhere, she just met him a few seconds ago and now she's asking if Ed would like to hang out with her.
"Sure thing!" Said Ed smiling.
"Well, I'd love to stand around here and make new friends with complete strangers but we need to leave Ed." Said Ruby.
"Huh?" Asked Ed.
"We're bustin' you out lughead! Besides I'm already planning a few more scams we can try out, so come on!" Said Eddy as he turned around and was about to leave.
"Hold it! He can't leave! The last time he was here with that blond girl they practically destroyed everything! He has to stay and work for at LEAST one day to cover SOME of the damaged he caused." Said Miltia.
"I thought you were supposed to be his new friends." Said Double D.
"We just met him today, besides we have a job of our own to do. And those things are to keep an eye on Ed and keep an eye out for any trouble makers." Said Miltia.
"You serious? No way! Come on Ed! We're leaving!" Said Eddy as he grabbed Ed by his shirt and began to pull him out, but was halted when Melanie and Miltia grabbed Ed by his jacket and pull back.
"NO! He has a debt to be paid!" Said Melanie.
"We'll give you an IOU! Now let go!" Said Eddy playing tug of war with the twins.
"Eddy, we should probably solve this in a better way before-" Ruby was interrupted.
"Hey! What's going on here?" Asked a tall man behind the bar.
"Umm... Are you Junior?" Asked Ruby.
"Yeah, who wants to know?" Asked Junior.
"I'm Yang's sister."
"Blondie? Oh, real quick if you see her again give her this." Said Junior as she handed Ruby a piece of paper.
"What's this?"
"The bill for the damages she caused from her last three visits." Said Junior.
"Anyway sir, I am sure we can work something out right?" Asked Double D.
"Look, all I need is your boy here to stay and work off a few damages for at least ONE day. And if you can't except that... I'm gonna have to ask ya to leave." Said Junior.
"Yeah right! You and who's army?" Asked Eddy as Junior snapped his fingers and Ed nodded as he walked over and picked up Penny, Double D, Eddy, and Ruby and started carrying them towards the door. "Sorry guys! But my boss says its time for you to leave!" Said Ed still walking over to the door with his friends in his arms.
"Ed, how can you be so stupid?" Asked Eddy as Ed stopped pushing and responded with "I watch cartoons Eddy!"
"*Sigh* Okay then, Ed can stay a little longer and work off his debts... But after that we need to get back to Beacon before Yang finds out he's missing." Said Ruby.
"Why should we be worried about Yang?" Asked Ed confused.
"Let's just say your girlfriend is WAY overprotective Lumpy." Said Eddy as Junior and the twins walked over.
"What did I just tell you monobrow? Get these troublemakers out of here!" Said Junior.
"Umm... Junior was it sir? We won't cause any more trouble, we just want to make sure that our friend is alright. All we want to do is stay until he paid off his debt and he is allowed to leave, that's all." Said Penny as Junior stood there and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Fine... Whatever, your friends will be allowed to leave around 8:00 PM, until then, he stays." Said Junior as he turns around and goes back to work along with the twins.
"I guess I'll see you guys later! I'm gonna go over there to Juniors other men and make friends!" Said Ed as he dashed over to the area where all of Juniors men were hanging out at.
"HEY GUYS!" Said Ed.
"STAY AWAY FROM US!" Yelled one of the men as the four who stood there originally to save Ed just continued to stand there unsure what to do next.
"Well, I believe there isn't much else we can do besides sit and wait for Ed to be done." Said Double D as the two girls nodded in agreement with him as they walked over to a booth.
"Yeah fine whatever, I'll stay. They just better not have that music were it goes ONTZ! ONTZ! ONTZ! ONTZ! ONTZ! ONTZ-" Eddy stopped as he looked over on the dance floor to see a group of flamboyantly dressed men dancing, but then stopped as they looked over at Eddy.
"Aww, why'd ya stop?" Asked one of the men in a feminant tone of voice. Eddy sighed in annoyance.
Back at Beacon:
Yang, Blake, and Weiss just finished off their last class they started to walk back to their dorm room.
"Ugh, Professor Peach is the WORST!" Said Weiss frustrated.
"Oh, lighten up Weiss! She's not as bad as Port." Said Yang.
"Yeah, but at least I got a head start on MY work so I can continue to read the new series of books I'm reading." Said Blake.
"You mean your new series of smut?" Asked Yang.
"Stuff a sock in it, Yang." Replied Blake.
"Isn't that what YOUR boyfriend does?" Asked Yang.
"I sometimes question the integrity of our friendship." Said Blake.
"Still stronger then the integrity of me and Ruby's friendship." Said Weiss.
"I love you guys too!" Said Yang as the three continued to walk down the hall. As they finally reached the door to the room and Blake was about to open the door, Yang stopped shuttered. Yang's fellow teammates paused as they looked over at their friend.
"Umm... Are you okay Ya-" Weiss was interrupted.
"My boyfriend senses are tingling!" Said Yang as the one strand of golden hair sticking out at the top of her head, started to vibrate.
"And to think today could've just been a normal day." Said Blake sarcastically.
"I sense that Ed has been kidnapped! NOBODY kidnaps MY MAN and drag him away but ME!" Said Yang angrily.
"...What the heck are you talking about Yang?" Asked Weiss.
"There's no time to lose!" Said Yang as she kicked the door to Team RWBY's dorm down and ran in as she grabbed ahold of her Ember Celica. "There you are!" Said Yang as she grabbed her weapons and dashed back out the door and ran down the hall. Weiss and Blake stood there in silence.
"... I hope 'knocking the door down' thing isn't going to become a running gag." Said Weiss.
Juniors Place: A Few Hours Later
Back at Juniors place the gang was hanging out. Double D, Penny, and Ruby were all hanging out in the booths talking and waiting, Ed was still hanging out with the twins, and Eddy was going around and hitting on any chick he could find. The mass majority of them failing.
"Hi there, I got two pina coladas here JUST for the ladies." Said Eddy as he walked over to a table with two women sitting there, placing two drinks on the table.
"Looks like you can use one JUST for MEN." Said one of the girls as they both started to giggle.
"Aaaaaaaaaaand you hags can pay for your own drinks..." Said Eddy as he took the drinks away and walked away. Eddy didn't give up however as he threw the drinks away and walked over to the figure of a beautiful looking girl. Eddy smiled once more as he walked over to her and said.
"Well helllllllllllllo there beautiful, how about I buy you a drink, huh?" Asked Eddy with a smirk on his face.
"Sure!" Said the woman as she turned around revealing that her front side was very obese.
"Oh my Danny! You look A LOT better from the back!" Said Eddy.
"You jerk!" Said the girl as she turned back around.
"Hey there sweet cheeks you wanna- Wait! Wait! Eddy, remember what's on the other side!" Said Eddy as he caught himself. As Eddy moved on he was still looking around until he finally just gave up and went to sit in the booth with the rest of his gang.
"That was painful." Said Double D.
"Gee, thanks Double D..." Said Eddy sarcastically.
"Yeah, but those two girls who you bought drinks for, that was a REALLY awesome burn you just put n them!" Said Ruby.
"Human mating habits are so interesting!" Said Penny as one of her eyes had a red REC on it.
"Were you-... Were you recording that?!" Yelled Eddy as Penny blinked her eyes once more and looked over at Eddy with the REC gone. "Whatever do you mean?" Asked Penny politely as Eddy glared at her and turned back around.
"So when is Lumpy supposed to be done?" Asked Eddy as Double D looked at his watch. "Umm... Three more hours." Said Double D as Eddy moaned in agony.
"Let's just hope Yang doesn't find out that Ed was kidnapped." Said Ruby. But before anyone could say anything else the doors blew open and flew across the entire club. Everyone starred at the direction where the doors flew with shock and terror. Ruby was facing away from the entrance sitting in the booth as she looked over at her friends with a confused look. Until she knew who it was.
"Don't tell me, she's here..." Said Ruby.
"WHERE IS ED!?" Yelled Yang standing there as she was burning with crimson red eyes.
"It's Armageddon..." Said Double D as Junior and everyone else noticed Yang as she slowly walked forward with every step she took left a burnt imprint of her shoe. The guards were so scared that they didn't even want to fight Yang as they and everyone else in the club ran out the door.
"WHERE ARE YOU IDIOTS GOING!? STAY HERE AND PROTECT ME!" Yelled Junior.
"YOU PAY US EIGHT DOLLARS AN HOUR! IT'S NOT WORTH OUR LIVES!" Yelled one of the men as they continued to run.
"YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THIS- AHH!" Screamed Junior as a chair came flying at him, but he luckily ducked and dodged it as it smashed against the wall.
"Melanie! Miltia! Protect me!" Yelled Junior as the twins charged in and tried to stop Yang but... I'm sure you can figure out what happened... Alright I'll tell you, Yang smacked the two girls out of the way as she continued to walk towards Junior. Yang was like an unstoppable force of nature. As Juniors life was flashing before his eyes the gang jumped in front of Yang's warpath.
"Yang! Stop! It's me your little sister Ruby!" Yelled Ruby as she put her hands up to stop Yang. Luckily Yang stopped for her sister as she looked down at her.
"Get out of my way Ruby! I'm going to find Ed, than I'm going to KILL JUNIOR!" Said Yang furiously.
"Doesn't that seem a little extreme?" Asked Double D, as Yang turned her head at terrifying speeds. Double D immediately put his hands over his mouth.
"Okay look Yang, you seem a little upset. So I got a little something here to help you relax." Said Eddy as he pulled out a hypodermic needle and flicked the needle of it with a clear substance floating through it.
"EDDY!" Yelled Double D.
"What?" Asked Eddy.
"What is even in that!?" Yelled Double D.
"Oh, this tranquilizer is powerful enough to knock out a full growl Goliath." Answered Eddy.
But before Double D could respond, Yang has had enough of this and swung her fist causing Eddy and Double D to go flying across the club with Yang continuing her march. As she was getting closer and closer to Junior, all that Junior could do is stand behind the bar counter and accept his doom.
"WHERE... IS... HE?!..." Asked Yang walking closer to Junior.
"I-I don't know! I swear he's okay! Please don't kill me!" Said Junior.
"Don't give me a reason..." Said Yang. But before she could eradicate the club owner, she heard a familiar voice.
"Hello Yang!" Yang stopped as she turned around to see Ed standing there. Yang's fire died down as she screamed "ED!" In joy a she pounced on Ed again.
"Not again!" Screamed Ed.
As Penny, Ruby, Eddy, and Double D dashed over to the scene. Only to see Ed slowly pick himself up being covered in lipstck marks and using one hand to hold back Yang who wasn't finished yet. Eddy and Double D couldn't help but laugh.
"Does if feel like old times with the Kankers Lumpy?" Asked Eddy still laughing.
"Well, we got Ed back. Can we go home now?" Asked Ruby.
Vale's Abandoned Subway Tunnels:
After the whole fiasco with the Grimm, Evil Tim decided that it would be time to find a new base of operations. Even though he's still technically working with Cinder and her fraction he decided to take base elsewhere. The abandoned subway tunnels underneath Vale. They were abandoned years ago because of them being unstable and to difficult to keep records of. The city eventually abandoned them because of how much work they needed to be maintained. But it was a perfect place for Evil Tim to continue his own operations. It was a dark place with little lighting but also had many of Evil Tim's experiments and machines lying around. Not to mention Evil Tim's undead forces that have grown in number that were moving around supplies, keeping guard, and anything else.
"Your lifting, 500 tons... That is three times your record..." Said a scientist looking at the clip board he was holding in his hand as Salty Sam who was still heavily damaged from his last encounter with Ed was lifting the end of a very powerful hydraulic press.
"What can I say? Anger is a really good motivator!" Said Sam as he let go of the machine and grabbed and walked several feet away.
"I don't understand this, Evil Tim's records say originally you could only lift 200 tons at your MAX... How is this possible?" Asked the scientist baffled.
"Your not being paid to ask questions."
"You don't pay me."
"Allow you to LIVE to ask questions. So tell me exactly why I'm getting stronger? If I'm gonna kill that idiot with this new strength, I'd like to hear where it came from..." Said Salty Sam as he looked down at his hands.
"I am unsure of this but... I believe since you crossed over into this world your semblance is giving you greater strength." Said the scientist.
"My what?"
"Your semblance, since you crossed over to this world, like those Ed's, your developing powers of your own. But I don't believe that just getting stronger is your semblance... With your current extremely powerful condition, mixed with Evil Tim's dark magic that's already inside you, plus this developing semblance of yours... The result can be... Some sort of atrocity-AGK!" The scientist wasn't able to finish as Salty Sam grabbed him by the throat and held him up in the air. As the scientist was struggling for air, he couldn't escape the mad man's vice-like grip.
"Do you think I care!? I WANT to become an atrocity! I want all those brats heads on sticks for humiliating me!... I don't even know what I'll become with all those very bad unpredictable things inside of me... But, if it'll make me strong enough to be a real MONSTER then I'll take it... (CRACK!) Opps... Accidentally broke another one." Said Salty Sam annoyed that he accidentally killed another scientist as he tossed the dead body on the floor.
"CLEAN IT UP!" Said Salty Sam as two corpses came stumbling in and collected the body, dragging it away, "We bury, we dig hole..." Said the corpses as they were dragging the body away.
"Evil Tim isn't going to like this..." Said the little girl voice of Ruby Rose.
"What the-? How did you-?"
"It's me you idiot, Jib. I can't speak when I'm in my original form." Said Jib as she transformed back into his original form. Tall, dark, black, and had a white mask-like face that had a frowny face on it.
"So what if a few scientist die?... Is that really going to effect anything?" Asked Sam as Jib shapeshifted into Cinder.
"You kill only for the fun of it. Don't forget we have a JOB to do here, don't make any unnecessary kills unless your ordered too... Your nothing but a psycho, your only in it for the killing and the chance to get revenge on Ed." Said Jib in Cinders form.
"Says Ed's boyfriend."
"I was sent on a MISSION by Evil Tim... Ed can still see the truth and join us, but that midget Eddy and that skinny nerd can burn for all I care. None of that matters though... Just do your work... Before I MAKE you do it..." Said Jib still in Cinder's form. Salty Sam walked up to Jib, and shoved him.
"I'd like to see you make me." Said Sam as Jib growls as he shapeshifts from his Cinder form back to his original form where he grows much taller and thinner, his mask turns into an angry expression as his fingers extend, and the black tendrils on his head grow in length and writhe like angry snakes with the sharp tips at the end of them. Sam gave a sadistic smirk as they started to charge at one another... Until.
"AGH! MY... CHEST!" Said Salty Sam as he fell on his knees and on the floor along with Jib as they both started to clutch their chests. They booth looked up to see Evil Tim standing there himself with his hand outstretched.
"I suspect that when I have a telekinetic grasp of your hearts, along with applying pressure to them is a very painful process, no?" Asked Evil Tim as he still had his hand outstretched for a few more moments until he dropped it and Salty Sam and Jib tried to pick themselves back up from the immense pain.
"I don't like it when my forces are fighting among themselves. If I catch you two fighting again don't think that I won't hesitate to kill either of you." Said Evil Tim as the two minions nodded in fear. Evil Tim turned to Jib once more.
"Jib, go back to Beacon and continue with your espionage. Your services are no longer required here." Said Evil Tim as he gestured his hand and Jib nodded. As he walked away he vanished. Evil Tim turns back to Sam.
"And as for you, you will stay here until the day of reckoning arrives... You will stop killing the scientists I bring in and you WILL OBEY MY ORDERS! If not... Hehe, well I'm sure you can think of what will happen next." Said Evil Tim eye balling Sam.
"Yes sir, whatever you say." Said Sam nodding his head as Evil Tim turns around and walks away. As Evil Tim was out of earshot, Sam muttered to himself saying.
"The day when I finally kill the Ed's and any other meatbag that decided to get in my way, I will have so much pleasure slitting your throat and watching your blood dribble all over the floor." Said Sam spitefully as he turned around and walked away himself. Getting back to work.
A/N: Not much to say for this chapter. I just think It'll be funny to see Yang be an overprotective girlfriend and destroy whatever gets in her way to protect the people she loves. In this case Ed. In any case as always, tell me what you think, leave a suggestion, and I hope you enjoyed. Next chapter is coming soon. Bye
