Chapter 10: CoronaVirus Pandemic

"Dr Taurus, we have a serious problem!" Banesaw came running in. Dr Taurus simply sighed loudly.

"Don't we always have a serious problem Banesaw? Tell me something I don't know. Why not a good problem? Why can't you come charging in and say- "

"Surely you must have heard the news! Remnant is under attack!"

"Under attack?" Dr Taurus sprung out of his chair. "Has Salem finally decided to get her lazy backside off her chair and do something for once?"

"Who's Salem?" Banesaw asked. Dr Taurus then remembered that only he was equipped with the knowledge of the entire plot of RWBY, granted to him by the author.

"Never mind that! Anyway, who's attacking? Is it the Grimm? Have the Fair Game and Bumblebee shippers teamed up?"

"It's even worse than that! We are experiencing a global pandemic! Quick, grab the masks!" Banesaw suddenly charged into the room behind him, and Dr Taurus watched him go.

"But you already have a mask!" Dr Taurus called after him.

"Neo, this is for your own good, I promise!" He turned around to see Roman forcing Neo into a room as she made constant whimpering noises.

"What are you doing to her?" Dr Taurus asked Roman.

"Adam, help me get her into this room! She's had a really bad cough and we need to isolate her!"

Dr Taurus rushed over and then suddenly realised something. If he got close to Roman, he was in serious danger of catching it if.

"Wait, we need to be at least two metres away from each other! Sorry Roman, but I can't help!"

"Damn it Adam! Neo, please, I'm begging you!" She suddenly forced her way out of his grip and shot down the stairs. "Come back!"

"We need to go after her! She's going to affect everyone with the Coronavirus!" Banesaw charged out of the room, following Roman in pursuit of Neo.

Well, guess I better lock myself in a room then. That was the only way to ensure he wouldn't catch it. He had a whole stack of video games he could play, so it wouldn't be that bad. However, there was a slight problem.

Hundreds upon hundreds of patients were lined up outside the surgery, all sneezing and coughing like there was no tomorrow. This was bad. This was extremely bad! He was going to have to cure them all! But how could he, when no vaccine had been made yet?

Time to do what I do best. Murder people. He couldn't cure them all, so why not kill them all? It was a pretty good alternative solution.

Taking out Wilt and Blush, he slowly and calmly began to make his way down the stairs towards the large crowd of patients. Hold on though, how was he supposed to kill people when he wasn't supposed to be within two feet of them? He couldn't attempt to cure them without getting close, but he couldn't kill them without getting close either! What was he supposed to do? Wave his hand and say "Abracadabra, you are all healthy?" Was he supposed to conveniently forget that he had a gun like that time he charged at Blake and got stabbed by her and Yang? It really was a puzzling matter. Luckily, he didn't have to conveniently forget his sheath was also a gun, and he had practiced his aim in all those first person shooter video games he had played, so this should be easy, right?

He aimed his sheath at the crowd and opened fire, dropping several people in a matter of seconds. That caused people to start screaming and running away, so therefore the problem was solved. It was rather anticlimactic, but Dr Taurus lived by the motto, kill first, ask questions later.

All he had to do now was locate Roman and Banesaw. Poor Neo would have to be isolated, but that was okay. He could deliver ice cream to her door every day and that would keep her happy.

"Dr Taurus, we have a serious problem!" Banesaw ran up the stairs towards him.

"You've already said that." Dr Taurus stated. "Come on Banesaw, at least try to be a little creative with your word choice."

"This is even more serious than the Coronavirus!"

"The Fair Game and Bumblebee shippers have teamed up, haven't they?" Not again! Couldn't the Bumblebee shippers just leave him alone for once?

"Even worse! Neo has gone missing!" That caught his attention pretty quickly.

"You lost her?"

"Not just her, but Roman too! They both just disappeared. I was on their tails, and then I lost them."

"So, did they disappear, or did you lose them? Those are two very different things Banesaw."

"Both! They disappeared and I lost them!" Dr Taurus was just confused now. How did someone disappear while being lost? It was a bit baffling. Well, not really. Someone could be lost in a forest and then a black hole could open up beneath their feet, sending them to their certain deaths.

"What do we do now? We need them to run the surgery!" Banesaw exclaimed. Dr Taurus thought about it. Then, he thought about it some more. Finally, he thought about it for a while, and came to his conclusion.

"I can't go after them. They may both have the coronavirus, and I cannot risk catching it. I shall have to run the surgery on my own, while you chase after them."

"How? Everyone will have the coronavirus by this point, and you've just demonstrated that you'll kill anyone who has it!"

"Do not fret Banesaw. We both know that my medical expertise is simply fantastic. I shall be just fine on my own, and will use my judgement on whether to kill someone or not. Now, go get our ginger friend and his ice cream sidekick back."

"Very well then. Good luck Adam- I mean, Doctor Taurus." With a bow, Banesaw was gone from the surgery in seconds. Now Adam was all on his own.

This shall certainly be interesting.

Dr Taurus

It feels pretty good to write this story again, not gonna lie. The world seems to have went pretty mad though. It's going to be a pretty crazy few months.

There's a update on my profile which I would encourage you all to read, as it will address my fanfiction going forward, and my original story which will be posted over on FictionPress (Yeah, I'm writing a original story, which is a big yikes.)

I am going to try my best to write Dr Taurus a bit more though. It doesn't take me that long, so why I seem to go for months without writing it really shows how lazy I am.

Anyway, remember to stay inside, wash your hands properly, and unleash your inner introvert! Thanks for reading, and don't forget:

"If the disease doesn't kill you, we will!"
