I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my OCs
Adam walked with Ruby to his contact.
"Sooooo... mind telling me who your contact is?" Ruby asked him.
"He's a man called Tukson. He runs a book shop here in Vale." Adam answered. He wondered how Tukson was doing. It was quite a bit since he actually talked to the man. Blake was the one to do most of the socializing with him since she bought books from there.
'Blake. I wonder what you're doing now. I miss you, and I'm sorry for not keeping contact with you.' Adam thought. He bumped into someone.
"Hey watch where you're... going." He trailed of as he looked at Penny.
"Oh sorry sir! I'll be sure to watch where I'm going!" Penny said before rushing off
"Penny! Wait!" Adam shouted before running after her. Ruby followed him
"What are you doing? You've been missing for days! What happened Penny?" Adam asked her
"Im sorry sir, but you seem to have me confused with someone else." She said before turning around. She hiccuped
"Penny, I know my friends when I see them." Adam said, trying to get her to answer his question
"You're mistaken sir. I don't recall ever meeting you." Penny said as if she really didn't know him. She hiccuped. Adam narrowed his eyes
"Then prove it. If you aren't my friend, then guess something only my friends would know." Adam said, knowing that she would hiccup if she lied
"I don't know anything about you sir." She hiccuped.
"Ok, guess I'll be going. But tell me, do you hiccup after you lie?" Adam asked
"Y-Yes sir!" Penny stuttered
"Then that would mean you lied the whole time I tried to get you to recognize me. Therefore, you are Penny. My friend Penny." Adam said
"Im sorry Adam, but the general doesn't want me seeing anyone." Penny said
"First, never use that sentence ever again. Second, why?"
"Why what?" Penny asked
"Why does the General not want you to see me or my team, you know? Your friends?" Adam asked, curious as of to why Ironwood did this
"Adam! Where are you?!" He heard Ruby yell. He honestly thought she would keep up with him
"I'm over here!" He yelled back. A few seconds later, she appeared by his side
"What happened? Your semblance allows you to keep up with the fastest of people. How did you fall behind?" Adam asked
"Maybe, but I don't have a lot if stamina." Ruby answered
"Well, I have to go. See you later Adam, Ruby." Penny said
"No. We're coming with you." Adam said
"You are?" Penny asked
"We are?" Ruby asked
"Yes, we are." Adam answered
"Why are you?" Penny asked
"Because we want to help you."
[Timeskip]
'Had this been a few months ago, I would've ripped her apart for being human.' Adam thought.
He considered it ironic that he was here, amongst humans, after all his propaganda about humans. About how he and his allies in the White Fang would have killed for a chance to "show" these humans their place.
'I'm glad I don't think like that anymore.' Adam thought
"Now introducing, the Atlesian Paladin!" He heard Ironwood's voice say
"Wow! It does have all the features that the magazines talked about!" Ruby... "fan-girled," as Yang would say, over the mech
"Only you can be the most innocent person I know, yet still adore weapons." Adam said
"It's not my fault!" Ruby shouted
"That's not a bad thing." Adam said calmly
They started arguing fir absolutely no reason at all. The whole time they were arguing, Penny looked at the guards nervously. She was worried they would hurt her friends. They looked over to them. Penny knew they saw her and decided to run with her friends to safety
"That's not what I'm saying! I-" Adam was saying before he got cut off by Penny
"We have to go!" Penny shouted
"What? Why?" Adam asked
Penny gave a nod towards the soldiers. Adam and Ruby looked that way and saw the soldiers walking towards them
"On second thought, Penny's probably right. Let's get out of here!" Adam said quickly before running off with Penny
"Hey guys! Wait for me!" Ruby shouted
They ran into alleyways to lose them, but it seemed to be pointless as they still found them each time. Ruby, knowing this, picked both Adam and Penny up. But, something was weird about Penny's weight. She was way heavier then a normal person. Still, Ruby tried to get them as far away as possible with her semblance. But that turned out to be to much as she tripped and dropped them both
Adam and Ruby rolled out into the middle of the street. A truck was just about to hit them before Penny stopped it. A loud boom resonated throughout the street. People started to murmur, trying to figure out how she did that. Both Adam and Ruby were befuddled
"What?" Ruby asked
"How?" Adam asked
Penny grabbed them both and led them down an alleyway. They stopped at a dead end.
"Penny, how did you do... that?" Adam asked
"I'm not like most girls. They are born. I was made." She said as she held out her hands
Adam and Ruby saw that there was metal instead of flesh
Penny sighed
"I'm not real."
"Hey! You think that because you have nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?" Ruby asked
"Well..."
"Penny, you said your father loves you, correct?" Adam asked
"Yes he does."
"Then you are real. If being at beacon has taught me one thing, it's that everyone has something to fight for. To live for. To die for. And in the end, I think that makes us all equal. Human, Faunus, or Android." Adam said, pointing to Ruby, Penny, and himself respectively.
"Thanks Adam, Ruby. Thank you for reminding me that I'm real." Penny said with more confidence.
The shouts of the soldiers that chased them earlier echoed down the alleyway
"You two need to hide." Penny said
"Ahh! Penny! What are you doing?! We can help you!" Ruby screamed before she was dropped into a dumpster.
"Sorry, but not yet. I need to save the world first! It's my destiny!" Penny said walking off.
Adam heard what the guards said, but he didn't care. He had a more important thought on his mind
"I got manhandled by a girl."
[Timeskip]
It was a few minutes later, and Adam still didn't let go that he got manhandled
"A girl manhandled the Adam Taurus. A girl!" Adam kept saying
"Well, she is an android. Sooooooooo..." Ruby trailed off
"But she's still a girl!"
"She had super-strength."
"And I couldn't do anything about it!"
"How close are we to your contact?"
"It's that shop right there. Why?"
"Because I'll tell him that embarrassing fact if you don't stop."
"You're pure evil sometimes Ruby. You know that?"
"I'm well aware, Adam." Ruby said mockingly
"Well you stay here. I don't want you being associated with me in case all the rumors about him wanting to leave weren't true." Adam said
"Ok." Ruby said, agreeing
Adam walked in to see nothing at first. He wondered why that was. Was he closed and just forgot to close the door? No, he couldn't have. Adam drilled it into him to never forget to lock the door. Could he have already left?
Then Adam smelled something he hadn't smelled since he was in the White Fang
Death
Adam turned on the lights to see a bloodbath. Tukson had been murdered. Adam called the police and walked out.
"Did you get what you needed?" Ruby asked
Adam just shook his head
[Timeskip]
It far later and Adam and Ruby were having milkshakes. Adam still couldn't get his mind off of what he saw. Still, at least he didn't have to worry about being personally responsible for having him killed.
'Ace or Roman must have ordered the hit.' Adam thought
Suddenly his phone started to vibrate. He looked at it to see the frequency for his team. He answered to hear a very familiar voice
"If anyone can hear this we need-" The voice was cut off by Sun
Adam tuned out whatever Sun said
'That was Blake!' He thought
Adam got up and started running towards where it was coming from.
'I just hope I'm not to late.' Adam thought
[Timeskip]
He found himself at a highway. He saw a mech running across it. A layer of ice formed on the bridge that the mech slipped on
Adam jumped down to the rest of his team.
"Freezerburn!" Adam heard Ruby shout. Adam moved out of the way
Weiss formed another layer of ice which was hit by Yang with her fist of fire, causing the area to be blanketed in steam
Every member of team RWPY ran around the mech to confuse it. But it got a bead on them and fired
Adam and Weiss were knocked backward. Adam shot up quickly.
"Red Bull!" He heard Ruby shout out
Adam ran to Ruby's position and started delivering multiple slashes.
"Frostbite!" He heard her shout again
He got into position and started delivering precision strikes. He slashed a camera out before flipping backwards with Weiss.
Rockets started flying at them. Almost all hit the ground in front of them. But Weiss got hot by one. She left behind a time dilation glyph for Adam to speed him up
Lucky for Adam, he could slice the rockets without having a glyph
One after another, Adam sliced until he posed and all of them exploded behind him
"The Red Fist!" Ruby called out
Adam let Yang run at him. When she got close, he used his stored up energy to send her flying towards the mech
Unfortunately, the mech dodged the attack and sent Yang through a concrete pillar
"Yang!" Adam shouted
"Don't worry. She's like you. With every hit she gets stronger and sends that strength back twice as hard." Ruby said as Yang shattered one of the arms on the mech
"That same method won't work twice." He heard Blake say
'I figured she would be here.' Adam thought
"And who are you?" Weiss asked
"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is destroying this thing so it doesn't harm people." Blake said
She gave a nod at Adam. He recognized that nod as the one that said they would be talking after this. He has seen that many times
"If you can get that woman to listen to you, we can have her hold onto the edge of my ribbon and destroy the mech." Blake said
Adam perked his head up
"My spidey senses are tingling." Adam said before looking at the mech. Adam saw that it was focused on them
"Ah crapbaskets." Adam said
Everyone moved out of the way of the rockets that flew at them
"Ruby! Relay the plan to your sister! Weiss! Ice glyph! NOW!" Adam shouted
Weiss formed the glyph. Adam started to shoot at the mech through the glyph
"Make one for me too!" He heard Ruby command. Weiss did as she asked
Soon the mech was nothing but ice. Yang swung around on Blake's ribbon and she smashed the mech to bits. Roman rolled along the ground
"And I just got this thing cleaned!" Roman said in exasperation. He looked up to see all five looking at him
"Ladies, Gentleman, Ice queen."
"Hey!"
"I'm afraid our time here is up."
Adam shot at Roman, but he had his shot blocked by a girl with brown and pink hair with white highlights.
Yang charged him only for there figure to break. A bullhead took off in the distance. Adam could just make out Roman
"So, I guess he's got a new henchman." Yang said
"Yeah, she really made our plans fall apart." Weiss punned
"No, just no." Yang said
"But you do it!" Weiss whined
"There's a time and a place for jokes." Yang explained
"Was this not it?" Weiss asked
"Nah. It just wasn't very good." Yang said
"Well at least I'm trying!" Weiss said, using an excuse
Adam turned to Blake to see her glaring at him. He looked back to his team to see them staring at the two
"So! How've you been?" Adam asked before being slapped with might of Zeus
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I'm finally getting my motivation again. So expect another chapter soon. And I finally fixed one of my mistakes, forgetting about Blake. She was supposed to have a more prominent role in the first volume. But I forgot about her being a thing. Guess it just goes to show how tired I am of seeing Bumblebee everywhere. Also, I fixed the Timeskip problems in the last chapter. For some reason, the thing I use to indcate Timeskips doesn't work here. So I'm sorry for that, but it's fixed. I don't have anything else to say
So Bye-Bye!
