Chapter 51- Restraining Orders

Today is a momentous day, at least to me. Today marks exactly one year since I posted the first chapter of "RWBY and JNPR Watch The Blood Gulch Chronicles" It's been a great year on this site. I have you guys to thank for my success, and that goes beyond just reading it, liking, following, praising, etc. you guys helped, gave me ideas, pointed out mistakes and more.

Here's to another great year, I hope to finish this saga of fics by this time 2021 but honestly I doubt it will happen. Unlike valve though I can count to 3, and 4. And possibly 5 if I decide to do season 14 as the 5th fic in this"Saga." I will not abandon this story, thanks for all the support and help.

P.S: RWBY finale spoilers in the bottom AN, hint. Very positive :)

"Restraining Orders" Appeared on the screen with the theme.

Yang snickered, "They need a restraining order on her after that ass beating."

"She'd probably ignore it." Blake chuckled.

Yang nodded as she laughed, "You're right."

Fade in to Tex beating Church with his old monitor body, each hit has a nice clang.

Church: "Ow. Ow! Ooow! Stop it! Tex, you are embarrassing me."

Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Nora burst out laughing with everyone else besides Ruby giving amuzed grins.

Ruby angrily huffed, "Come on! I was expecting some kind of fight."

"If there was do you think it would have gone any better than the last fight?" Weiss asked.

Ruby sighed, "Ugh, no."

Church: "Ow! Stop! Ah! Hey, are you guys gonna -ah- are you gonna help me or not?"

Pan over to the Reds with Grif holding a med-pack to his balls.

"Not likely, Grif is still recovering." Pyrrha commented.

"It looks like he is getting off lightly." Ren added.

"Which is something I'm wondering about." Pyrrha frowned, "Why did she go on a rampage?"

"Because she's awesome?" Nora asked.

Pyrrha chuckled as she shook her head, "Yang what do you think?"

Yang shrugged, "eh, Maybe she was tired of being in that cryo-pod. I'd want to move around after being still for a while, beating the crap out of a bunch of idiots sounds like a great warm up to me."

"I'm not going to get into the whole 'why does an A.I. Feel pain or need to move around' thing." Jaune commented.

Ruby chuckled to herself, Penny always has a skip in her step, she's always happy to move around. I don't know if she feels pain though? She wasn't hurt after I knocked her over or after the she stopped that truck...maybe aura? I should ask-

"Remnant to Ruby?" Yang asked.

"Wha-huh!?" Ruby snapped back to reality.

Yang gave Jaune a thumbs up as Jaune chuckled and shook his head.

Church: "Stop it!"

Nora pointed at the screen, "Heh, heh, Grif is still recovering."

"I bet, Tex did not relent for even a second." Pyrrha shook her head.

Sarge: "Naw buddy I think you got everything under control. We'll just hang back here."

Church: "Won't it stop!"

Grif: "Yeah, you've got some catching up to do."

Church: "The whole- stop!"

"What a great way to catch up." Nora joked.

Sarge: "Hey, what's she beating him with?"

Simmons: "I think that was his old body."

Jaune began to laugh, "I bet that's a reference to Jimmy getting beat with his own skull."

Yang laughed, "Oh that's great! Too good, too good." She added.

Sarge: "You mean he ain't a floatin' cue ball any more?"

Church: "Aw-"

Sarge: "That's too bad. Had a few more nicknames in my side pocket. We'll certainly miss you Lord Hackensack of the Roundalots."

"Floaty dud." Nora chuckled to herself.

"What? I don't get it?" Ruby frowned.

"Grenade." Nora explained.

Ruby's eyes widened in recognition, "Ohh, now I get it."

Grif: "Beating him with his own body? That doesn't seem physically possible."

Jaune nodded, "Yep, definitely a reference."

Cut to Caboose

Caboose: "Uh-hu- we have to do something."

FILSS: "I am sorry, as I said, I cannot operate outside the bounds of my standard safety protocols."

Caboose: "What if I said... pretty please."

Pyrrha laughed, "Aw, Caboose is so polite."

"That sounded kind of like flirting to me." Blake chuckled.

Pyrrha shrugged with a warm smile.

FILSS: "Private Caboose, is there a reason why you don't want to use one of the standard safety protocols? In this scenario, I would strongly recommend locking down the armor of any rogue units."

Jaune chuckled, "I can see where this is going."

Yang laughed, "Tex isn't a rogue unit, everyone else is."

"Oh they're going to have their armor locked, not like Tex needs the help." Blake added.

Caboose: "Wait you can do that?"

FILSS: "Of course. Armor lock is a standard safety feature since the Freelancer break in."

"Hold on what? Freelancer break in?" Ruby asked. "What's that?"

Jaune shrugged, "This is the first I'm hearing of it."

Blake grinned, "I'm already pleased with this episode."

Caboose: "Well why didn't you tell us that?"

FILSS: "Why would I need to tell the Director that? He wrote the protocol himself."

"Hmm, he didn't pay someone else to do it for him." Weiss mumbled.

Caboose: "Oh, right. Yes of course he did. Um Sheila, could you do the armor lunchable thing that you said?"

FILSS: "Certainly."

*Ding dong*

FILSS: "(over speakers)Now initiating standard safety protocol. Armor lockdown in progress. All units, stand by for lockdown."

"All units." Jaune chuckled.

Tex becomes immobilized and groans when she can't move.

Church: "What- what's happening? Caboose what did you do to her?"

Ruby smiled sadly, "He still cares about her."

Yang nodded, "He hasn't seen her since season five. It's been a while."

Nora chuckled, "Not to us! That was just a couple days ago."

Caboose: "Yes! Yes! I did it! I am the biggest hero ever! I beat up the girl!"

"Unlike Sarge." Nora grumbled.

Sarge: "Hah hah, yes! See, that's how you do it Grif; face your enemy man to man. Or in your case, woefully inadequate man to woman. And then when she's distracted, use superior technology to take her out. *sniff* Reminds me of prom night."

"His prom night must have been pretty interesting." Pyrrha chuckled.

Nora smirked, "Yeah, the dance was pretty interesting for you too."

Pyrrha blushed and began to laugh, "Yes it was."

Jaune blushed lightly, "An Arc never goes back on their word."

Grif: "We didn't do anything, she shut down."

Caboose: "I am the best!"

Simmons: "Uh, hey guys? What do you think that voice meant by 'all units'?"

The Reds become immobilized

Jaune nodded, "There it is."

Sarge: "Hrr, h-gr I can't move."

Caboose: "I did it, I- not my fault! Not my fault! I did not do this! The computer made suggestions! And the default option was yes!"

"He turned around on his words pretty quickly." Nora commented.

Pyrrha simply shrugged.

Grif: "(strained)Well this is just great."

Church: "What's happening? Caboose! Make it stop! Make it-"

Church becomes immobilized

Church: "st-ow! Rrruh!"

Cut back to Caboose.

Caboose: "Uh, Sheila, is, is my armor gonna lockdown too?"

"I hope not." Pyrrha mumbled.

FILSS: "No Caboose, your helmet does not have that particular protocol installed in it. I had assumed, that was the reason why you were wearing that-"

Caboose: "Yes. That is totally the reason."

Pyrrha laughed, "On a top ten list, five is better than six."

Jaune chuckled, "You remembered that line?"

Pyrrha nodded, "It made me laugh."

Cut to the desert, where Wash is overlooking a bunch of dead aliens. Racist

Washington: "Well, so much for the 'leave one of them alive' strategy. Doc, where are you?"

Blake sighed, "He's very casual with killing people. Desensitized."

Doc: "Here!"

Washington: "Still alive. I thought maybe you'd been killed in the battle."

Doc: "No, don't worry, I'm still alive."

Washington: "I didn't say I was worried. Get down here, see if any of these things are still breathing."

"Can't he do that himself?" Ruby asked.

"Why do it yourself when you can have others do it for you?" Weiss said in a high and mighty mocking voice.

Ruby snickered, "Good point."

"Washington isn't on a high horse yet." Blake defended.

Doc: "Me?"

Washington: "You're a medic, get- medical."

Doc: "I'm a human medic. I don't even understand Alien physiology."

Washington: "I want you to see if they're alive, I-I don't want you to check their cholesterol levels, just get down here."

Doc: "Jeeze, fine. What's with the anger?"

Nora laughed, "I like that Doc forgets he's a prisoner."

Pyrrha smiled, "Me too."

Meta: *Meta noises*

Washington: "Meta, you search the camp. See if you can find anything useful for us. Any clues where Epsilon went."

Meta: *Meta noises*

Washington: "Don't start with me. I've already reached my tolerance level for management issues."

Ruby glanced at Weiss quickly, Blake noticed and chuckled.

"Weiss I hope you can manage with management." Yang chuckled at her own joke.

Weiss scoffed, "I believe I will be an excellent leader. I have already been the best teammate to Ruby and the rest of you. I can now be the best leader to all of you."

Blake held up a finger, "Unofficial."

Weiss sighed, "Unofficial to others, you made me Ice Queen. Remember that."

"I'm already feeling great regret." Yang quipped.

Doc: "He's getting fussy."

Washington: "Tell me about it."

The Meta walks into a broken segment of the sand temple.

Doc: "Maybe we should take a break."

"We?" Blake frowned.

Washington: "Excuse me? A break?"

Doc: "Yeah, like a three day leave! Everyone go off, recharge their mental batteries, come back refreshed, and like, ready to tackle our challenges."

"Watching this show has been our leave." Ruby grinned, "I haven't been relaxed in a while."

"Makes sense for you, your team has been going on missions and fighting the White Fang all semester." Jaune pointed out.

"What about your own share of stress from the breach?" Weiss asked

Jaune waved a hand, "The breach was nothing, we didn't have to do much. Coco came in with her team and did a lot of damage until Atlas could run clean up."

Ruby grinned, "She built her turret bh herself! She went to Pharos instead of Signal. I don't know if they have to build their own weapons but either way she went above and beyond with hers! It's design is so intricate and complicated. Made it hard to make another attachment turret. Making it replacable was even harder! The only weapon more complicated in design than her Gianduja is my baby."

"You know it's name?" Nora asked.

Ruby nodded, "I know everyone's weapon names, ugh. Did you guys know Cardin calls his boring old mace the Executioner? First of all, dumb name. Second! You use axes or swords to execute! A mace won't cut a Grimm's head off!"

Blake refrained from pointing out that Executions involved people and not Grimm.

Washington: "H-you want a vacation."

Doc: "I call it a Soul Sabbatical."

Washington: "What are we, mailmen? This is a military mission. We don't get a vacation. We don't take sick days, we don't get paid overtime."

"What? Atlas soldiers do. The Atlas military has the most benefits out of all others." Weiss frowned. "It's strange that they wouldn't have those. I would think it's standard to keep the morale of the soldiers high."

Doc: "What, Freelancers don't get overtime?"

Washington: "That's right, we have a job to do and we're expected to stick wit- wait. Why, wh- do you?"

Doc: "Get overtime? Yheah. Time and a half over forty hours, time and a half and a half after sixty."

Yang whistled, "That's pretty good."

"More than he deserves given his track record as a medic." Weiss commented.

"He's improved since we last saw him." Pyrrha pointed out.

Washington: "...really?"

Doc: "You guys don't get that? That's crazy, you work so hard."

Washington: "Tell me about it."

Doc: "You guys should strike."

"Striking from the military is punishable equal to deserting or going AWOL in many cases." Weiss commented.

Washington: "We're not unionizing. Stop instigating."

Doc: "...Tell me they at least match your 401K."

Washington: "Shut up."

"It's comforting knowing that we have job security and retirement security." Jaune smiled, "Even though I don't think any of us joined for the pay."

Meta: *Meta noises coming from the temple the Meta entered*

Doc: "What was that?"

Washington: "Quiet. What did you find, Meta?"

A grenade has its pin pulled and is thrown at the cave entrance, where Wash has moved to

"Woah! He's not happy." Nora laughed.

Washington: "Hey! Watch it. Meta, come out here, now."

Meta: *Meta noises*

Blake laughed, "Washington is treating the Meta like a kid."

Washington: "Doc, get in there and see what he found."

Doc: "Which Doc, there's a, is there another Doc here? I know you're not talking to me. Hyeah, you know, probably better if you go in? Historically, I don't really have the best success rate going in caves. They tend not to work out for me. Before your time, but trust me. I-uhy- you don't want any part o' that."

The screen faded to black.

"Yeah I think Washington would lose it, he's lucky he's with Doc and not Sister. I'm surprised Doc could stand being around her." Blake commented.

"I couldn't stand her character." Weiss commented.

"I miss her, too bad Lopez killed her." Yang sighed.

"You could look at it like Grif, we haven't seen a body yet." Jaune pointed out.

Yang nodded, "That's a good point, anyway. On to the next one!"

—-

Loved the finale, overall it was great. I liked Penny becoming the Winter maiden. Didn't like the fight in the air, loved Ren's moment of failure. Neo is great with her semblance. The hint of Neo/Cinder conflict is great. Ironwood not being defeated or cemented as a bad or good guy was beautiful. The best moment of all though was obviously Salem coming.

Although with that being said, I am afraid of next season having Ironwood immediately defeated or immediately joining good or bad. If only the soundtrack was better, but that's personal preference. Rwby still sounds like Rwby so it's all good. The ending felt like "Divide" should have played because of how badass it was.
