Chapter 46- Towing Package

There are No RWBY spoilers in the Bottom AN

"It was a great episode." Weiss agreed.

Blake nodded. "I think It's incredible to see the show improve over time. With most shows the improvements are minor or aren't there at all. But this? The voice acting, the looks-"

"Graphics." Ruby cut in.

Blake nodded, "The graphics the storytelling, everything has improved from the start of the show."

"We can see the show grow over time, it's mesmerizing." Pyrrha smiled.

Blake smiled too, "Each season has gotten better than the last, I can't think of another series where it's been so...clear, do you know what I mean?"

Ruby nodded, "I know what you mean, sometimes game series will just get worse and worse overtime then have a comeback. But this show just keeps getting better, I understood you."

"I hope it stays that way." Jaune said as he hit play.

"Towing Package" appeared on the screen with the theme.

"Sometimes the episode titles are very unclear." Blake frowned, "And other times they don't make sense because the title is something weird."

"Like drink your ovalt- oval something." Ruby waved her hand around, "That didn't make any sense."

Ren nodded, "I already assumed that was another reference we won't understand, because of the mysterious nature of how the show came to us."

Fade in to Red Base

Washington: "Alright Doc, I wanna ask you a few questions."

"I don't like this." Pyrrha grimaced.

"What's wrong?" Jaune asked.

Pyrrha shook her head, "I have a feeling their questioning is going to turn ugly."

"Torture." Blake huffed.

Doc: "Where'd the red guys go? Did they get away?"

Washington: "Quiet. I'm asking you the questions, you're not asking me."

Doc: "What kinda questions?"

Pyrrha chuckled, "The feeling is gone, this isn't going to be a dark scene I'm guessing."

"Yay!" Nora cheered.

Washington: "Hey I just said no questions."

Doc: "Can I ask questions later?"

Washington: "Doc!"

"He's not a very good interrogator." Pyrrha chuckled.

Blake nodded, "And there's a problem with bad interrogators because they usually turn to torture, although I doubt Washington would torture Doc."

"You don't think he'd stoop that low?" Weiss asked.

Blake shook her head, "No, because I think Washington is probably a good negotiator. I'm betting he knows all he has to do is threaten Doc and Doc will tell him everything he knows."

"Which is nothing." Jaune added.

Blake chuckled, "Which is nothing, and a bad negotiator would take that as the time to torture."

Weiss grimaced, "Blake...did the White Fang-"

Blake held up a hand, "I never saw it happen or knew for sure. But I had my suspicions, it's one of the reasons I left."

Weiss nodded, slightly relieved.

Doc: "What? Oh that's a question, sorry. Go ahead."

"He's so polite, I doubt I would be that nice as a captive." Pyrrha chuckled.

"I doubt you could be taken captive." Jaune added.

Washington: "You know what, get him out of there, I can't talk to him like this."

The Meta approaches and tries to get him loose

Meta: *Meta noises*

Doc: "What're you- stop it."

Washington: "What? Well, try pulling harder then."

"Even the Meta isn't strong enough to pull him out?" Yang asked rhetorically, "I bet without his special armor powers he's weak."

Blake hummed, "I have a theory about the Meta, do any of you think that the Meta could be addicted to the A.I. and special equipment because without it he's weak?"

"That sounds like it could be true." Ruby agreed, "Oh! I wonder why he's so weak."

Blake chuckled, "It's just a theory Ruby, a show theory."

Nora nodded, "But Ruby's right, why is he so weak? He doesn't need armor and special powers he just needs to lift!" Nora began flexing, "Ugh! Yeah! I don't even need electricity!"

"Some people don't have the ability to get strong by working out like you have, people with disabilities." Pyrrha explained kindly, as if talking to a child.

Nora's smile fell, "Oh...oh that's sad..now I'm sad, aww poor Meta." Nora frowned, "You made me sympathetic for the Meta Pyrrha! I blame you!" Nora pointed.

"Sorry." Pyrrha smiled, "I didn't mean to." She chuckled.

Doc: "Be gentle be gentle!"

Washington: "Grab lower, near the centre of gravity."

Doc: "He's got cold hands."

Washington: "Try the codpiece."

"Oh here we go." Yang laughed.

The Meta gives an obvious look and sound of disapproval.

Yang burst out laughing, "I don't- the look he gave him!"

"He did not like the suggestion." Weiss shook her head.

Washington: "Oh, uh- we're all adults here."

"He makes a good point." Blake commented.

Weiss shook her head, "If I was the Meta I still wouldn't do it."

"Same here." Ruby grimaced.

Meta: *meta noises*

Washington: "No I don't wanna try."

"Hypocrite." Weiss chuckled.

Doc: "Don't repress your feelings."

Yang's shoulders shook up and down with her laughter.

The Meta uses the grav lift to leap off the base

Washington: "I can't interrogate him like this, it's ridiculous. I can't believe I have to deal with this. What're we gonna do!?"

The Meta grabs the tow hook from the front of the jeep and pulls it back.

"Oh that's smart." Yang commented, "The only problem is that if he's really stuck in there they might rip off his armor."

"How would they do that?" Ruby asked.

"Where else are they going to attack the hook?" Yang asked, "he could dislocate his shoulder if he holds on to it."

The Meta tosses it up on base and it makes a few bangs.

Washington: "Hmm, that might work."

Cut to everyone in the desert where we left off.

Sarge: "Heh heh. Seems like all the kicking and blowing up put some life back into the little guy. That's adorable."

Church's lights flicker on except they're green.

Ruby pursed her lips, "His lights are green, look."

"Hmm." Ren hummed, "That's weird."

Ruby gasped, "Oh I bet I know what- who it is."

Ren raised an eyebrow questioningly before his eyes widened in realization. "Oh, I think we're thinking of the same thing."

"What is it?" Nora asked.

"Shh!" Ruby held up a finger to her lips, "Jaune play it!"

As Jaune hit play Nora huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest indignantly.

Grif: "Why are all his blue parts green?"

Caboose: "I don't know."

Delta: "Caboose, is that you?"

Ruby clapped, "I knew it! I knew it!"

"Ohhh, Delta's back." Nora grinned looking to Ren.

Ren smiled, "Technically Delta's memory but- never mind, I like this."

Caboose: "Delta?"

Delta: "Caboose, I need you to listen, my time is brief. Epsilon is not in control right now. But he will be again, shortly."

Everyone leaned forward except Ruby who huffed, "Church not Epsilon."

Caboose: "Great!"

Delta: "Perhaps not. The encounter with Agent Washington has jarred loose many of his memories. Epsilon has not, historically coped with these memories well."

Ren frowned, "Likely the memories that caused it to lose control of itself in Washington's mind."

"You mean what caused him to commit suicide in his head." Blake corrected.

Ren sighed but nodded, "Yes."

Pyrrha grimaced and shook her head, "As of yet, that has been the darkest moment in the show."

Blake grinned, "I know, I loved it."

Pyrrha gave her a disgusted look.

Blake's eyes widened, "No no no! Not like that, I mean I loved it when the story got darker."

Pyrrha sighed, "I know sorry, it's your kind of storytelling." She smiled.

Grif: "What's that mean?"

Delta: "We fear he may pursue certain memories in particular."

"We?" Jaune asked.

Grif: "Who is we?"

Delta: "Myself and the other memories of the Alpha fragments."

"Wait, other memories of the Alpha fragments?" Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"That would mean the other A.I. like Omega wouldn't it?" Weiss asked.

"And Gamma." Jaune nodded.

"Don't forget Sigma." Ren added.

"Sigma? What?" Ruby asked.

"Washington in season six said Sigma was the Alpha's creativity." Ren explained.

"But we haven't seen that one yet have we?" Nora asked, Ren shook his head no. "Oh good, I didn't forget anything."

"What about Tex?" Yang asked. "She's an A.I. too."

"Well she's not an Alpha fragment, we don't know her origin." Ren explained.

Yang shook her head, "I guess that makes sense, I wonder if she was also tortured like Alpha- Church was. And if there are other fragmented A.I. emotions of her."

Ren shrugged, "Another theory, that one also sounds like it could be right."

Grif: "What the fuck is that? Who the fuck are you, and what the fuck is happening?"

Nora grabbed her head, "Ugh that's how I feel."

"I know, why is this show so confusing sometimes." Ruby added.

"It's not that confusing." Blake shrugged, "We just don't no everything yet."

"I wish we knew more, the show doesn't explain much." Weiss sighed.

"I know, but they've gotten better." Jaune shrugged.

Weiss smiled, "Always improving."

Delta: "Epsilon may not yet be aware of our presence, but eventually he will be. We cannot hide forever. It is likely at this point he will begin the cycle again. That must not happen."

"Cycle?" Ruby asked.

Ren frowned, "I have a feeling this show just became a lot more deep."

"I have the same feeling." Blake chuckled gleefully, "I have so many questions, I haven't been this excited about a show in a long time, or even a book series."

Jaune nodded, "Now I have two things I really want to know, what cycle and what is Tex?"

"I only care about your last question." Yang shrugged.

Caboose: "What cycle. Hhh! A motorcycle? A secret motorcycle it's okay you can tell me."

Yang chuckled, "That'd be cool to see, any motorcycle kept secret would have to be amazing."

"Unless it's so bad you'd want it kept secret." Blake chuckled.

Yang turned towards Blake and grumbled some choice words Blake chose to ignore.

Delta: "He's begun to search his memories now, he is clearly looking for something."

Caboose: "Well you always did say memory is the key."

Delta: "Memory is the key, Caboose, but not everything that is locked is meant to be unlocked. He is coming back now. I must leave before he discovers me."

"Whatever those memories were they have to be pretty traumatic." Yang commented.

"Maybe they're the memories of the Apha being tortured?" Jaune suggested.

Blake shook her head, "No, it has to be more than that, something worse that happened before. He killed himself in Washingtons head, I don't think torture alone could have caused that."

Caboose: "But if he meets you in there then you can be friends. But not best friends. But, you know 'cause that job's, taken? But, you know, maybe acquaintances?"

Delta: "If only, I, were the memory, that he's looking for."

"Delta sounds...sad." Ren said, almost surprised at his own words.

"I know, and regretful." Pyrrha added.

Delta shuts down, the green parts return to blue and Church floats up into the air

Church: "What? Uh, oh. Hey. I must've uh, must've passed out. Sorry 'bout that."

"This is awkward." Yang cringed, "I wonder who'll let it slip that Delta is in there."

"Hopefully no one." Ren nodded, "But I'm game for another bet."

Yang grinned, "You got it, I say it'll be Caboose."

Ren frowned, "Then no deal because I also say it'll be Caboose."

Yang sighed, "Smart man."

Ren nodded.

Caboose: "Church, you're back!"

Church: "Yeah, I am. Hey Caboose, come over here wouldjya I, need to talk to you about something."

Yang and Ren chuckled.

Caboose: "Okay, where are we going?"

Off they go

Simmons: "Hey guys, do you ever notice Blue team has, like a lot more stuff going on than us?"

"That's true! Why does blue team get all the cool stuff." Nora huffed.

"Because Blue team is awesome?" Yang asked with a smirk.

"I do have to agree." Blake nodded.

"What? I thought you were for 'team freelancer'" Weiss mocked.

Blake chuckled, "I still am for 'Team Freelancer' but only because of Washington. I could do without the Meta."

Weiss sighed, "Well I do have to agree with Yang too, sorry Nora, but I'm for Blue team again."

"You traitor!" Nora shouted glancing at Ren.

Ren sighed and mumbled, "Traitor oh no." Which pleased Nora as she either ignored or didn't understand his sarcasm.

Jaune smiled, "So we're all still pro blue team except for Ren, Nora, and Blake?" Jaune looked around.

"Yup!" Ruby popped the 'p' with a grin.

Sarge: "Yeah. Boring stuff."

Grif: "Nerdy stuff."

"I disagree with the boring." Jaune frowned.

Simmons: "Yeah but I mean, all we ever talk about is food and guns."

Ruby's face fell, "What more is there to talk about?"

"Yeah Ruby, Red team is pretty great." Nora grinned like the devil on Ruby's shoulder, "Join the Red team Ruby. Give in to the food and guns."

"No! No never, I will never fall to the Reds!" Ruby giggled happily as Nora groaned.

Grif: "That reminds me, I'm hungry."

Sarge: "Stop complaining or I'll shoot you in the head."

"You tell em Sarge!" Nora grinned.

"It still baffles me that Sarge is your favorite character, even though it really shouldn't." Weiss chuckled.

Simmons: "Hhh... good times."

Cut to Church and Caboose talking with Tucker in the background on the pillar of super rock with the Aliens below jumping up to try and get him

Tucker: "Stay away, don't touch me!"

Jaune began to crack up, "Look he even has his sword out."

"Poor Tucker." Pyrrha chuckled.

Church: "Hey, uh Caboose, you were the one who moved me from the Epsilon unit to this new body, right?"

Caboose: "Oh yeah. I am really good at ergonomics."

Ren frowned, "That's the study of worker's efficiency in a working environment."

Church: "D'uh, do you mean, electronics?"

Caboose: "Yeah, probably."

Pyrrha chuckled, "Caboose is so, self aware."

Church: "Okay good. Then I need you to come with me. I just remembered something. Something that could help me."

Caboose: "Sure!"

Pyrrha sighed, "Caboose wants to help and be a good friend, but Delta just warned him. I'm a little worried."

Church: "You don't wanna know the details?"

Caboose: "Nope."

Church: "Could be dangerous."

Caboose: "Yeaaah I have armor. It's blue."

Yang laughed, "That's how I feel about dangerous missions. I have Aura, and twin dragons." Yang grinned at her weapons over in the corner.

Church: "Alright, well, let's go then. I actually thought it would take longer to convince you. Come on. I wanna get to the facility before nightfall."

Caboose: "Uh, you wanna bring the Epsilon unit?"

"That's empty though right?" Ruby asked.

"It should be." Ren frowned in thought.

Church: "Is it necessary to... do your thing?"

Caboose: "Don't think so."

Church: "Then who cares. Leave it. Where we're going, we won't need it."

Cut to Doc with the tow cable attached to his crotch.

"Well.." Weiss grimaced, "Looks like they did try the codpiece." she groaned.

Yang began to cackled.

"Oh grow up!" Weiss shouted. "You're so childish."

"No! No it's not-" Yang continued to laugh, "Towing package."

"What?" Weiss asked before realization dawned on her, "Oh no...why?" She asked seemingly no one.

Jaune grinned slightly, "That's, sort of clever."

"Why do I love and hate this show so much." Weiss grumbled to herself. "i'm at least happy you were laughing at the pun of towing package instead of just the fact that they are pulling him by his codpiece."

Yang frowned, "Can it not be both?"

Ruby and Weiss simultaneously pinched the bridge's of their nose's.

Doc: "Um, are you sure this is a good idea!? Uouhouh."

Washington: "Alright, give it a crank."

The Meta gives it a crank and it begins to whir very loudly. The Warthog begins to get pulled towards Doc instead of vice versa.

"He is really in there, it's pulling the car not him." Yang chuckled.

"Yang I think you were wrong, it definitely won't rip an armor piece off." Ruby grinned, "That suit has to be very string to withstand that level of force and-"

Ruby looked around to see the looks everyone gave her, "Sorry! I started to ramble didn't I?"

Pyrrha nodded sympathetically.

As the cable tightens, Doc begins to groan shakily as if he's vibrating.

Washington: "More power, come on, give it some gas."

Gas is applied by the Meta.

Washington: "Almost there, just a little more..."

Doc: "*strained* I think it's working!"

The part of the wall that Doc is in falls forward, landing Doc straight on his face, crushed underneath the wall.

Doc: "Ow!"

Nora and Ruby burst out laughing.

"Oh my g- this is great." Yang laughed.

Weiss and Blake in spite of themselves chuckled.

Ren smiled, "I wasn't expecting that."

Washington: "Well. That's just great."

Blake laughed, "Washington getting annoyed is great."

The screen fades to black but the sound of metallic scraping can be heard.

Blake chuckled, "That's a nice touch."

"It is." Ren chuckled too, "I hope we see more of Delta."

I've been thinking about all the different crossover fics I can do after I finish all these react fics so I wanted to ask a question.

What are some things you hate about crossover fics?/what do some authors do that you don't like with crossover fics?

One thing I hate is when for some reason the author either changes the entire lore of one story or has a crossover where they invent their own character from one universe and puts them into the other.

And since I mentioned crossover fics I have to remind everyone, I'm normally against people suggesting fic ideas but from now until the next chapter I'm open to Crossover fic ideas. As long as you give more depth with your suggestions other than "Crossover this with this"

P.S: Grano Onis gave me a great RVB/RWBY Crossover idea that I want to write in the future, so don't be shy with your ideas, just remember that you should greatly consider writing your own ideas, you can do it, I wrote my idea so can you.
