Hours before hand. Inside the Visitor Center
3rd POV
The battle had just begun. Half of the Legion used the tunnels beneath the Dam to enter unsuspected, while the other half attacked from above. NCR snipers couldn't get into position on time. The Legion learned their lesson from the last battle. Using a scavenge howitzer they blasted at the rear, where the sharp shooters were positioned. This proved to be strenuous for the NCR. But even though the Legion has more soldiers, the element of surprise, and a howitzer. The NCR has a few cards up their sleeves. Four children, with special skills. As of right now, two are currently fighting off a few Legion Veterans melee combat.
"Monty almighty! Where are they coming from!" Jaune asked as he fenced off two legion soldiers with Gehenna.
"The pipes, they must have come from the pipes!" Blake answered as she decapitated a veteran before stabbing a recruit through the gut.
The two continued to fight against the incoming attack. When the battle begins, they were looking outwards from the top of the visitor center. Jaune being the only one with binoculars and Blake being a Faunas. However, they didn't realize that they were being attacked from below till the Legion literally snuck up on them. Thankfully, they were recruits and were to loud to sneak up on Blake. They then proceeded to fight their way down. As they finished off the remaining Legion soldiers, Jaune needed to take a break. Catch his breath. As he does, a thought came across his mind.
"(Huff, Huff.) Hey, Blake. (Huff, Huff.) Do you (Huff, Huff.) know where (Huff, Huff.) Yang, Weiss, or Ren is?" Jaune asked as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
Before Blake could answer. The elevator door opens and out shoots a Legion soldier. Looking over they see Yang, covered in blood, walking out of a corpse filled elevator. As she wiped the blood off her clothes, she then spot Blake and Jaune.
"Oh, hey guys." Yang said as she flicked an eye off her shoulder. "How's it going up here?"
"In one word. Horrible." Blake remarks as she wipes the blood from her blade.
"Yeah, we got legion coming in from the front, and coming in from bellow. And now we have artillery coming down on our backs." Jaune remarked as he accidently stepped on the eye. As he looked down at the bottom of his boot, he then continued on by saying, "Basically, we are screwed."
"Heh, yeah I guess so." Yang remarked as another Howitzer shell hit's the roof the building. As dust falls from the ceiling down onto Yangs head. She asked casually. "Where's the rest of the gang?"
"Well, Nora will arrive with the Boomers and Raul. Pyrrha said she's going to get help with Veronica, Weiss is fighting alongside Boone, Ren is with Cass and Arcade. They're currently defending the Followers of the Apocalypse, and Ruby… I don't know where." Yang said as she let her head down in slight sorrow.
Blake knew how worried Yang is. She has been worried sick about her. And if she was honest, she was worried to near death herself. However now was not the time to be worried about the location of their leader. Least she's far away from the action. Before she could put her hand on Yang's Shoulder, another Howitzer shell hits the building. This snapped both Blake and Yang out of their funk. Realizing that they needed to help the NCR, Jaune quickly took charge.
"Hey, Yang. I know you are worried about your sister. I would be too if she was mine. But now isn't the time. We need to find a way to slow them down. Any suggestions?" Jaune asked.
"Um, actually yeah. They are coming through the drain right? Why not flush them out?" Yang suggested.
"Like a toilet?" Jaune asked with a brow raised.
"More along the lines of a blender." Blake remarked.
"Oh, well then. Me and Yang will handle this. Blake, go and help Weiss and Ren." Jaune directed.
The two give a nod and Yang and Jaune head down the stairs. Not wanting to walk through the multiple corpses in the elevator. Meanwhile Blake quickly left the building running into more Legion soldiers that she easily dealt with. As she killed off her attackers, the view pulls further down the Dam towards the center. Their, a few troopers rallied into a circular position as they tried desperately to fend off the incoming hoards. At the center of this circle was a few Follower of the Apocalypse doctors working on injured patients. This may seem hopeless, but they had an Ex-First Recon officer, A drunk cowgirl, the Locus King, and Ms. Schnee assisting. Though it may be possible that they could survive, it was a fifty-fifty split. Bullets, spears, and lasers fired as the two side tried hard to survive.
"WHEN'S BACKUP COMING!" Weiss shouts as she fired a few rounds from her LAER.
"I DON"T KNOW!" Ren called back as he slid under an attacking Legion before blasting him through the back of his head with Sleeptyme.
"STAY FOCUS ON THE BATTLEFEILD!" Boone shouts as he hits one legion in between the eye's as he tried to sneak up on Cass. She gave a tip of her hat before turning around to blast a legion soldier with Dinner Bell.
As the fighting got more and more intense, the view pulls down to the side of the dam. Jaune and Yang had just came out of the powerplant. They were covered in bullet wounds and scrapes and blood. Their were hundreds of them. Storming out of the pipes like a swarm of locus. Multiple NCR personnel caught off guard were quickly and savagely. They only managed to get past them by lobbing grenades or sneaking by as the Legion soldiers butchered the bodies with excitement. However it seems that a few did noticed them. Nothing that these two could handle, with a few exceptions. As they ran over to the controls, a bullet nearly took Jaune's fingers as a few Legion soldiers on makeshift boats, crossed the water towards them. Unlike most legion soldiers, they were armed with Winchester riffles and pistol that were in poor condition. But not poor enough to fire. As they were pinned, Jaune quickly pulled out the survivalist riffle from his back before firing back at them. Yang could do nothing as peaking would leave her with a new hole. As Jaune slowly picked them off, the sound of gun fire caught the attention of more Legion soldiers. They rushed out of the dam just as Jaune killed off the last of the river boat Legion soldiers. With a smile on her face, Yang charged at them while Jaune tried to activate the pumps. As they continued on however, more and more soldier begin to pour out like a clashing wave. Eventually Jaune had to stop the procedure to assist Yang as more and more came out. As they continued to kill a few problems begin to arise. Every time they kill off one soldier, two more seem to have taken their place. They were getting tired and the more they fought, the more of the aura begins to chip away. Finally their weapons begin to degrade from the amount of flesh, blood, and organs that jammed or dulled their weapons. It all came to a head when a Legion soldier got one good shot on Jaune. He was aiming for his side, but ended up missing and cutting the fluid line to his Gehenna. Gas spurted out as the hose flayed around in air. Realizing how quick this thing can catch Jaune struggled but successfully tossed the gas tank backpack from his back into the crowd of Legion soldiers. Using the last of the flame he tapped the oil, causing it to ignite a trail of fire back to the canister, causing an explosion that sent Jaune flying back. Yang managed to catch him before he hit the ground.
"Ugh, that is the last time I bring a gas power sword to a fight." Jaune said painfully as he ears slowly stopped ringing.
"Phew, yeah. Nearly died my hair red with it." Yang remarked as she plucked a piece of intestines from her blood sprayed hair.
As Jaune got back up to his feet, more Legion soldiers came running out of the dam to fight them. Preparing themselves for what surely would be there final fight, a sudden deus ex machina moment occurred when a hale of minigun fire came down from the sky. Looking up, the two see a Vertibird flying down with a strange worn out symbol on the side. An E with twelve stars surrounding it. As Vertibird turns around, it turns to reveal at the side was Veronica mounted on the side gun and Pyrrha, next to her with Paciencia in hand. She held her breath before firing off a round that passes between Jaune's shoulder and neck, hitting a Legion centurion in the heart.
"About time you showed up!" Yang called out as she waved to them as the Vertibird got closer to the side so they may enter.
"We would have come sooner, but traffic was a real bitch." Veronica said as she helped Yang up. Jaune took the moment to quickly head to the controls. He threw the switch before rushing over to Vertibird door.
Once inside, he noticed strangers wearing unrecognized power armor and uniforms. He then asked. "Who are you people?"
"Oh, just a few old friends." Pyrrha said as she loads a new magazine into her rifle.
"Well, can they get us up? Knowing Weiss she's probably running low on batteries!" Yang asked.
"Sure, hold on till then!" The piolet said in a grandma sounding voice said as the Vertibird slowly ascends. Leaving behind a sign that the plan had worked. The Legion in the storm drain were flushed into a giant fan, turning them to mincemeat. All while staining the Colorado river red by their blood.
As they slowly ascend, things slowly begin to look better as a bomber passes by. As it flew, multiple bombs dropped down from the sky. Raining hellfire down on eastern side of the dam. As the old bomber flew back north after dropping it's final payload, two speck fell from the ancient plane. As the specs got closer to the dam, so did a faint scream and mad laughter. It then became apparent that the specks was Nora and Raul. Parachuting from the Bomber. Raul wanted to pull the cord as soon as possible, but Nora guarded it till they reached the right altitude. She then pulled the cord causing the shoot to eject from Raúl's back. They floated to the side of the dam near were the group were defending. Thanks to that bombing run and the access to the dam being cut off, the Injured were safely extracted from the battle. Once the two had landed, Raul quicly released the shoot before falling to his knees.
"WWWWHHHHHOOOOAAA! That was awesome… let's do that again!" Nora shout's in joy as she put Oh Baby over her shoulder.
"Me estoy volviendo demasiado vieja para esto." Raul remarks aloud as he slowly finds his footing.
"Talk about making an appearance. Where the hell you two were at?" Cass asked as she takes a swig from her moonshine jug. Not because she's thirst, more for the pain of nearly being gutted.
"Oil problems mom. We needed to gas her up so she wouldn't crash into the lake, again." Nora explains before pulling out her grenade launcher.
"Uh, huh. Right, well your timing couldn't be perfect. Legion reinforcements will be swarming soon. If it wasn't for Jaunny boy and them bombs we would have been deader then a man in bed with the farmers wife." Cass remarks, before hearing the Legion war horn. "Speaking of which, mind lending the boys some hands?
"You got it Mom!" Nora said before racing by her. Before she got far Cass called out to her.
"Oh, Nora!" Cass said as Nora halted dead in her tracks.
"Yeah!" Nora called back.
"Call me mom one more time, I'll shoot you once the battle is over." Cass said in a serious tone.
"I don't know. Dad will probably be mad at you for doing that, mom." Nora said before running to help Ren fight of the new wave of Legion soldiers. All while Cass cursed a blue streak under her breath.
"Estoy tan contenta de que la radiación me haya hecho estéril. Ni siquiera quiero pensar en lo que están pasando Six y la Sra. Cassidy." Raul remarked as he pulled out flask. He takes a shot of freshly made tequila before rushing in, just as the Enclave Vertibird came over the side and dropped off a few people.
The fighting continued, with the unexpected air support the NCR begin to push back against the Legion. However, the Howitzer kept the rangers and snipers back. This was a close battle. As the infighting continued, Weiss was slowly getting being separated by the group. During the battle, The Brotherhood had sent over a handful of their paladins. Problem was that their armor circuits were getting jammed by the amount of blood, spears, and machetes. So Weiss had to come back and help reboot these systems. As she was fixing one system, a spear got a little too close to her head for her comfort. The latest one nearly gave her other eye a matching scar. So with an angry sigh she then turned around and pulled out her sonic emitter and fired off a few rounds. The emitter despite not descend for human conflict, still managed to shatter the Legion soldiers at a subatomic level. As she fought back against them, a spear suddenly passes by her arm. With her weaken Aura it scratches her arm, cutting just enough for it to require a few stitches. Quickly turning she see's the Paladin unfortunately slaughter as a dozen came down on him. As a few focus on pressing their blades through the slots, a few more rushed Weiss. Realizing this, she pulled the LAER from her back and opened fire on them.
She managed to hit a few but she knew that they would swarm her. As she continued fight, one Veteran snuck up behind Weiss. His machete held high. In a moment he would bring it down and kill one of the eight children that has harassing the Legion. As the blade fell, it was about to make contact with Weiss. When a sudden and loud bang stopped the Legion soldier. Weiss felt a powerful blast of air coming over her shoulder. She looked behind her to see a Veteran Soldier lying dead on the ground with a hole the size of a fist. Wondering what had happened, she continued to hear that same boom sound. This time it came from the front. She looked back in front to see a red rose whirlwind pushing the Legion soldiers off the dam, while heavy caliber round fired off at them. Suddenly the whirlwind stopped right in front of Weiss. Sliding towards her was a small girl with an oversize riffle in hand. She then turned to her west before pulling out a weathered pistol. She fired off a few rounds before pulling a grenade from her bandoleer and lobbing it. As grenade went sailing through the air, a bullet hit's it. Causing it to explode mid-air. Killing three Legion soldiers and leaving two in critical condition. Weiss eye's went wide at the sight of the stranger. Her red cape was in tatter. So much that as it waved in the air, she could see a strange symbol on her back. A Blue spade with a single white star at the center and white and red lines coming off the bottom. The figure then turned around to reveal herself as Ruby.
"Hey, Weiss." Ruby said with a faint smile on her lip.
"Ruby?" Weiss said in a shocked tone. Ruby gives a slightly bigger smile before nodding her head. After a few moments Weiss's surprise look turns to rage. "RUBY ROSE, HOW DARE YOU RUN OUT ON US, MAKE US FEEL BAD, THEN SHOW UP DURING A MILITARY BATTLE! YOU COMPLETE AND TOTTLE DO… (Kiss)"
Before Weiss could even finish scolding Ruby, she grabbed her shirt and pulled Weiss in. Ruby kissed Weiss passionately, cutting her off. Weiss first rejected this but after a few moments embraced and kissed back. The two kissed in the midst of the battlefield. As soldiers fell, bullets flew, grenades exploded. The two simply stood there, kissing. Sadly, there was no camera to capture this heart felt moment. As they kissed for a full minute, Ruby slowly pulls back.
"Yes, I know and I'm sorry. But right now we just need to stay alive till Handler can bring his rangers down from camp golf." Ruby explains as she held Weiss hand. Weiss was to dumbfound to say anything, but after another explosion went off in the background, Ruby's gaze turned her attention East. She then let go of Weiss and started walking towards the East side of the bridge. "Listen, I know how to end this battle. Just please stay alive… for me please, alright?"
Weiss gives a small nod and with that Ruby gives another smile before racing towards the eastern side. As she ran, another thought came into Weiss mind. If Ruby's here, then does that mean Six is as well? To answer that question, a revolver gunshot went off. Hitting a Legion soldier in between the eyes.
"She said stay alive! I suggest you do so!" Six said as he raced past Weiss with ED-E following behind.
As he joins in the battle, Weiss shook herself back into focus. She had multiple questions, like the new dusters both Six and Ruby were wearing, but that was for another time. She loads her LAER and quickly raced in to assist the NCR in pushing them back.
On the other side of the Dam
Ruby quickly raced up the hill towards the Legates camp. As she does, a few war hounds and Paetorian guards came rushing at her. She quickly and effortlessly dealt with them. She then made her way up the hill. Their she met a familiar figure. He was fighting two NCR Rangers who were attacking him with their combat knifes. This was fruitless, as it seemed that he easily cut them down without effort. He then shakes the blood off his bumper sword before turning his eyeless gaze upon Ruby.
"So, you have returned. Child of the west." Legate Lanius said as he faced Ruby. "I don't plan on spending much time on the weak. Yet your persistence should be considered something of great merit."
He then paused before pointing his Bumper sword at Ruby. "For that, you will have the honor of a warriors death."
Ruby responded by pointing her Anti material rifle at the Legate before saying with a fiery passion of hatred and spite. "You may have won last time. But unlike last time, I am fighting with my all."
"Hmph, a fair and honest battle. A fair and honest kill. You are more loyal then most cowardly NCR." The Legate said before his voice turns into an aggressive tone. "But now my flattery ends here. It is time that you know why I am called, The Monster of the East."
*The stage remains empty for a few moments. After half a minute, Six walks out on stage.
Hello everybody. Six here. So for all those wondering where is Wombag… well he's currently missing. I tried to contact him through the Pip-Boy but, all I got was this strange message from him.
*Six then pulls up his Pip-Boy and reads the following.
"Six, remind me. NO MORE BRING YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY."
It then follows up with and I quote. "*Pause to look up at FEV Grim." Before returning to the regular message.
"Before Yang begins reading the comments and question, tell her to remind and ask again what should the final slide song be? Cause all I have "Roundup on the prairie", "I was the Sun (Before it was cool)", and "The Lone Wanderer" from the suggestion box. All three are good songs but it's a long slide and if I don't have time it will probably make the final chapter. (Which in hindsight feels more like a Epilogue.)" Wombag
That's the last I heard from him. And since I can't find Yang anywhere to read the question and comments, guess I will. Let's start with the first one.
From Imperial warlord: Thanks partner, though it wouldn't hurt to change the phrasing of them words every now and again.
Thanks for writing Imperial warlord.
From RedRat8: Yeah, well you will probably hate Wombag for this but he has no intention of revealing my backstory to the rest. Neither do I. Still if your interested check out FEV Grim's story (RWBY Reacts to ROSG) where the two kids watch this series like it's a movie. Due forgive him for the spelling mistakes. He hasn't written a story in nearly two years as of next October.
Thanks for writing RedRat8
From Combine117: Howdy Celeste, long time no see.
Well sort of. See if Ruby kills The Monster of the East, then she becomes the Monster of the West. Imagine what that would do to her mind for the next decade. Her original Karma was Neutral good. It has gone down to Neutral. Imagine how far will it go after. So just cause she won, doesn't mean she won.
… do I even want to know?
Thanks for writing Combine117
From FEV Grim: Sad to say no. Oh while you're here mind if I ask what was that message about? It was directed at you for some reason.
Thanks for writing FEV Grim
From Overlad: Heh yeah, though I can't go into any details about next chapters events I can say that Ruby will not only be fighting her demons but the choice she makes will define her for the rest of her life.
Also, good. Prefer a quiet life compare to those Couriers who have a trail of tears and tales behind them. Much prefer the isolation of the road in front.
Thanks for writing Overlad
From Guest 2-11-2020: Ah, sad to say them RVB were a one trick pony. However next chapter will not only decide the fate of the Mojave, but the future Ruby will grow up to be. Trust me you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for writing Guest 2-11-2020.
Alright, recon that's that. Thank you all for supporting this story. Had a good run here on stage for you all. Next week will be the conclusion to this story, followed up by an Epilogue where the two teams return home after a decade. Interesting chapter in my opinion but that will be going into spoiler territory. Wombag will describe it in person next week. Till then Fav and Fol the story. Leave a review or comment down bellow. This is Six, sighing off for Womba(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)
*Before Six could finish, the roof of the stadium crashes and Wombag falls down. Crashing into Six and the camera. Causing it to cut to a drunk vault boy holding the camera with the words, technical difficulties, written underneath.
