Well, one review is better than nothing again. Still wish I could get more reviews from everyone else who favorited this story, it would mean a lot to me.
Onto the review.
SaurusRock625/Marka Ragnos629: Trust me, things are going to be very different then the actual canon of RWBY. Besides, you did say in the requirements that Cinder must be stopped at the Fall of Beacon, remember?
Well let's start before I go into too much detail of what I have planned. As before, this chapter will be the combined version of Field Trip and Search and Destroy.
Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.
Chapter 23: Mission: Accepted
The following morning after the dance, Ironwood, Glynda and Ozpin met in Ozpins office where Ironwood was pacing back and forth. "You should really relax, James." Ozpin said to the general of the Atlas military.
"I know, Ozpin. I know. But our enemy was here, here in Beacon and we didn't even notice it." Ironwood stated.
"We're very much aware of that! Thank you, James." Glynda reminded the general. "Thanks to the efforts of Miss Mikamura the virus was removed before whoever uploaded it got full control of the systems." She added.
"Believe me, Glynda I know the virus has been removed." Ironwood began before he remembered what his men found out about the virus. "The virus they used was clearly developed by someone who knows computers better than most people. If that virus was activated, it would have given someone complete access to every thing connected to the tower, even the military and tournament systems. What could they have to gain from this and what do they want and how should we handle this?" he then added.
"At least they didn't discover what we have in the vault." Ozpin added before the elevator signaled it had arrived. "Come in."
The doors slid open and Ruby walked in. "Sorry it took so long. Someone accidently hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here." She explained before pausing for a moment. "It wasn't me." She added.
"Thank you for coming, Ruby. How are you feeling?" Ozpin asked.
"Okay, I guess. I'd feel better if my bad guy catching record wasn't O-for-three." She answered. All three adults stared at her silently. "Okay, so that's the tone we're going for, got it." She added rubbing the back of her head.
Ironwood then thanked her for doing all she could to stop the intruder, saying that it was what he believed being a Huntress was all about and urged her to learn from what happened so her skills may grow. This made Ruby feel a little better before Ozpin asked her to explain what had happened last night.
Ruby explained that she didn't hear the intruder speak but was able to figure out that they fought with glass but it wasn't her semblance. She also mentioned that when the intruder fought Domon, the King of Hearts was able to cut the intruders pants but they didn't lose any blood thanks to their aura.
"Save for the glass, that sounds a lot like the girl I fought the night we met Ruby and saw the Strike in action." Glynda remembered.
"Embedding Dust into clothing is an age-old tradition, that doesn't give us a lot of suspects." Ironwood reminded the combat instructor.
"Wait. You think that this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?" Ruby asked.
All three adults looked to each other before Ozpin spoke up, telling her that they lacked any evidence to link the two together. It was then Ruby mentioned about the hideout in the southeast the White Fang had outside the kingdom, which she learned from her teams off-the-records mission.
With the matter the concluded, Ozpin told Ruby she could leave so long as she kept what happened discreet from the others. The elevator then opened again and stepping out was Halberton who instead of his usual admirals' uniform was wearing the combat gear the roughnecks wore in urban and hot environments. "Miss Rose." The admiral said kindly as she entered the elevator and headed back down to her dorm room where her teammates were waiting.
Once Ruby had left, Ironwood brought up a map of the southeast area outside the kingdom. "There is only one place the enemy could be using as a hideout, Mountain Glenn. The entire city is full of many places for the White Fang to hide dust, mobile suits and weapons." Ironwood explained. "Galm Team and Wardog squadron flew over the area last night. They confirmed an increase in Grimm activity in the city and spotted a few trucks in the area, but they were jumped by several Mobile Dolls. It could mean anything, but I'd say its worth investigating." He added.
"Which of course means a triumphant display of military bravado! You treat every situation like it's a contest of measuring…" Glynda said in an annoyed tone.
"Glynda!" Ozpin said.
"Well he does." The combat instructor answered.
"That's not what I am saying at all." Ironwood clarified. "If we were to send in a battalion of soldiers, the enemy would take steps to hide whatever they are planning and we would still be in the dark. We need to handle this carefully. A wise soldier doesn't send in the flag bearers before the scouts, it would be a massacre. We need more information." The general added.
"Which is why I called Admiral Halberton here. I want him to assist the team or teams we send to the southeast in the mission. The person I have assigned to the mission will need all the help they can get." Ozpin said.
Meanwhile, Ruby's teammates along with the members of Team RATH and Cody heard listened to Ruby's explanation of what happened. Needless to say, Wiess and Arthur thought what she did was risky but Blake and Tammy though she did the right thing. Ruby wasn't entirely sure if what she did was the right thing. "Whether it was the right thing or not, what has happened has happened. The more Ozpin and the others know about what's going on the better." Robert stated.
"I'm sure everything will turn out ok, Ruby." Yang assured her sister. "Oh, I know what will cheer you up!" she added, procuring a cylindrical package from desk.
"What's that?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know yet. Dad sent it to us. I thought we could open it together!" Yang answered as Ruby grew excited and wrapped herself around Yang, trying to take the package which Yang opened and from the package came another cylinder which was hairy and black fell to the floor before it started to shake. It then transformed into a Corgi.
Both teams leaned towards the Corgi staring at with interest while Cody's tail started waging excitedly as the new dog barked twice, startling Weiss and Blake while Yang and Ruby got excited. "ZWEI!" Ruby shouted with joy before picking up the dog.
"He sent a dog?" Blake asked.
"In the mail?" Weiss added.
"Well that's something you don't see every day." Robert said equally surprised as the Corgi started give Ruby kisses of affection. "Least this means Cody has a new friend." He added.
"Oh, he does stuff like this all the time." Yang explained.
Blake had jumped up onto Ruby's bed, not surprising since she was a cat faunus while Wiess stared to become a little concerned but after looking into Zwei's eyes she started to take a liking to the small dog. "Please keep that thing away from my belongings." Blake said, still on Ruby's bunk as Glynda's voice came over the intercom and ordered all first-year students to report to the amphitheater.
As the rest of Team RATH left the room for the amphitheater, Robert stayed behind once he heard that Ruby and Yang's father had sent Zwei to stay with the girls while he was away from the island for a few days. "Alright, Cody. I'm trusting you to keep Zwei out of trouble while we're away." He said to his dog who barked and sat next to Zwei.
Once both teams had arrived in the amphitheater, Ozpin started to speak. "Today we stand together, united. Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo, Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the second largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed and or oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they tolerate this oppression, but neither would the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen, Huntresses and Gundam pilots will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsmen, Huntress or mobile suit pilot on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best." Ozpin said to all the students present before he left and the rest of the students filed out of the amphitheater.
"This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!" Ruby said excitedly.
"Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!" Yang added.
"Let's check 'search and destroy'." Weiss suggested.
The four-girl team walked over to one of the hologram screens and to their relief, there was a search and destroy mission in the southeast. As Ruby typed in the name of their team, the screen changed and it became clear that the mission would not be taken by first years. "Any other ideas?" Blake asked.
"We mail ourselves there!" Ruby suggested.
"Well that's one option." Ozpin said as he joined the girls. "Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students. It seems that region is rather popular. In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that you four will make your way there no matter which job you choose." He added causing Weiss, Yang and Blake to glare at Ruby who rubbed her head nervously.
"What are makes you say that?" the red head said trying to play innocent.
"I'm still curious how you all found yourselves at the docks last semester before the Dark Army attacked. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago." Ozpin went on.
Ruby tried to come up with an answer but before she could even say anything, Ozpin spoke again. "I doubt I'll ever find the answers I'm looking for. So how about this: instead of waiting for you all to just break the rules, why don't we just bend them."
A quick selection of commands from his Scroll allowed Ozpin to assign Ruby and her team to the mission. "We won't let you down. Thank you, professor." Ruby said to Ozpin.
"Do not thank me for this. Teamwork and persistence have carried you far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your chaperones at all times, and do exactly as they say. They will be leading you on this mission and they can have you sent back to Beacon, if they find your skills to be unsatisfactory. Good Luck." Ozpin said to the group before leaving.
As the team walked towards the bullhead that their chaperons were using, they met up with Team RATH who was assigned the same mission by the request of one of the chaperone's. "Guess this means we're working together for this mission." Tammy said, loading the last of her rounds into her rifle before slinging it over her back.
"Looks that way." Yang answered. "It'll be good working together. I'm eager to see how good you are, being the cousin of the Queen of Spades and all." She added.
"However good our skills are, we must remember that we must follow the instructions of the Huntsman whose accompanying us." Arthur reminded the group before flicking his gauntlet blades back into standby position while Hanzo double checked the number of arrows he had packed.
"We can do this. We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now. Besides it won't just be us out there! We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!" Ruby said with excitement. The excitement of Team RWBY and Tammy soon vanished when they saw the Huntsman, they were shadowing.
"Why, hello students! Who's ready to fight for their lives!" Doctor Oobleck asked them.
"Professor Oobleck?" Weiss asked.
"Yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, students, seeing as you've opted to shadow a Huntsman and two soldiers on what is essentially a reconnaissance mission." Oobleck began speaking very fast and pacing in front of the students. "I can assure you; we will not be establishing a single base of operations; rather, we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland and making camp in any defendable locations we stumble upon. I packed all of our essentials myself, plotted our air course and readied the airship. And…" he paused before getting in front of Weiss's face. "It's Doctor Oobleck." He added.
"He didn't earn the PhD for the heck of it." Robert said as he, his father and Stella joined the Doctor.
Wiess looked confused before the good Doctor pointed out that they were running late for their mission and rushed towards the airship. "Well, alright then! Looks like we're going to save the world with Doctor Oooobleck- okay yeah when you say it out loud it sounds worse." Ruby said trying to stay positive and upbeat before she started to feel the same way her teammates did about the situation.
"At least we're working with those we can trust." Robert stated, glancing at Stella who was wearing the same attire he and his father were wearing.
"Save the world!?" Nora shouted, walking over to them with her teammates. "You're going on world-saving missions without us? I'm hurt… sad!" She said dramatically before her stomach growled. "Maybe a little hungry? That last one's not your fault though, Ren…" she added and turned to said boy who just crossed his arms and looked away.
"Sounds exciting. Where ya going?" Jaune asked.
"Oh, just outside the kingdom." Ruby answered.
"Hey! So are we!" Nora chimed in.
"Ren and Nora wanted to shadow the sheriff of a nearby village." Pyrrha explained.
"We set out tomorrow." Ren added.
"Then you can party with us tonight!" Neptune said as he and Sun joined the group. "We're shadowing a crime-specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. We get junior badges." The blue haired boy added holding up said badge.
Jaune was a little impressed but he wasn't awestruck like most people would be. "We'd normally go to the city with you guys, which means stuffs always exploding and junk, so we thought this would be a better way to check out the kingdom when it's, you know… normal." Sun explained.
"Well-" Ruby began before Doctor Oobleck reminded them that they were running late. Taking one last glance at her friend, Ruby gave them a thumbs up before her team and team RATH boarded the airship which then took off.
As the ship left Beacon, Robert walked over to Stella who was checking her own weapon, a Roughneck standard issue rifle with the classic shotgun attachment. "You feeling ok, Stella? We don't know what we'll find out here." he asked his friend in concern and noticed the knife on her waist.
"I'll be fine. Our father is here and so are you and the others. I couldn't feel safer when I'm around my friends." Stella assured him with a smile. Robert smiled as well and patted her on the shoulder before he joined the conversation between Oobleck and team RWBY.
"Besides, given my expertise in the field of history as well as my dabbling's in the archeological surveys, our dear headmaster saw fit to assign me and the Admiral to this particular…assignment!" Oobleck explained after Yang admitted that she never really saw the doctor as a fighter.
"What does history have to do with this?" Weiss asked before earning a dope slam from Robert "Ow!"
"History is important. To understand the past, we must learn from the mistakes that were made so as to avoid the outcomes that occurred long ago. The Dark War, the Great War and so many other events and failures, we need to know all we can." Robert answered.
"Which means?" Weiss asked, still confused.
"The southeast quadrant outside of Vale is home to wild forests and deep caves, but it is also home to one of the kingdom's greatest failures!" Oobleck explained.
"Mountain Glenn." Ruby answered.
"That's right, it was an expansion of Vale… but in the end it was overrun by Grimm and fenced off from the rest of the city." Yang added.
"But what you all don't know is that several years ago, Frozen Talon had a small base in the city. They were planning to launch an attack on Vale by unleashing the Grimm into the city before deploying their combined armor and air-power. In the end, Gjallarhorn stopped the attack before it could be carried out, but found the base abandoned." Halberton explained.
"Correct! And now it stands abandoned as a dark reminder." Oobleck added.
"And a likely place for hideout." Blake put in which the doctor agreed.
Soon enough, the two teams arrived over the ruined city and exited the airship with their weapons drawn, minus Oobleck who held his thermos. "Children! You may still be students, but as of this moment, your first mission as Huntsman and Huntress has begun! From this point on you need to do exactly as the Admiral and I say. Do you understand?" he stated. Before anyone could answer, he looked to Ruby and when he spoke it made her jump. "Ruby! I thought I told you to leave all your bags back at school?" he asked.
"But, uh you hadn't told us to listen yet. So, I didn't." Ruby answered.
"She's not wrong." Oobleck said to himself. "Very well Ruby, leave your bag here, we can pick it up upon our return." He added.
Ruby tried to protest but once again, Oobleck got right in the face of one of the members of team RWBY. "Young lady, what in the world could you possibly have in that bag that could be so important to bring it with…" Oobleck began before the zipper of her bag opened and the heads of both Cody and Zwei popped out.
"Get back in the bag." She whispered to the dogs who just barked.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Robert muttered before facepalming.
"We're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility, and you brought… a pair of dogs?" Oobleck asked. Ruby tried to explain but the doctor did something unexpected. "Genius!" he shouted before backing away from Ruby who looked to her teammates with a confused shrug before Oobleck picked up Zwei as Cody had jumped out of the bag. "Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of smell, making them excellent companions for hunts such as ours!" he exclaimed while holding Zwei in his hands who barked.
"I'm a genius!" Ruby said proudly while the others facepalmed themselves, minus Blake.
"Not the word I would use." Robert said to himself.
"So, what are your orders, Doctor?" Blake asked.
"Ah, yes, straight to the chase; I like it!" the doctor said with enthusiasm before letting go of Zwei who dropped to the ground after somehow being suspended in the air for less than a second. He then took a serious pose. "As you've been informed, the southeast area has been marked as a recent hot spot for for Grimm activity. Now, there are several possible explanations for this behavior, one of which being…Grimm."
"What?" Ruby asked just as confused as her teammates and team RATH.
"Grimm. A creature of Grimm approximately one hundred yards from us at this very moment." Oobleck clarified.
"What?!" Yang asked out loud before they all turned around to see a lone Beowolf wandering down the street, getting everyone to unsheathe their weapons.
"Stop!" Oobleck ordered.
"Huh?" Blake asked, lowering her weapon like the rest of her allies who listened to the Doctor.
"There are a number of reasons why Grimm will congregate in this particular area, the most likely of which will be their attraction to negativity: sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred. All qualities that are likely held by our hidden group harboring ill intent." Oobleck explained.
"So… What now?" Ruby asked.
"The most obvious course of action would be to track it and hope that it will lead us to those we seek." Hanzo said before running up one of the destroyed buildings to get a better look of the area.
"How long do we wait?" Blake asked as Hanzo reached the top of the building and raised his bow, readying an arrow.
"Its uncertain. Hour's, days, weeks. Why, lone Grimm have been known to stay isolated from the pack for months- and there's the whole pack!" Oobleck said before he realized what was about to happen. Joining the lone Grimm were five more Beowolves which then turned towards the group. "And now they've seen us." He added.
"What?" Weiss asked.
"AND NOW THEY'VE SEEN US!" Oobleck said again, this time yelling into the ear of the heiress.
"Looks like tracking is out of the question. Well, look's like there is only one option, right dad?" Robert said, looking towards his father who had his own weapon drawn and ready to fire.
"Show us what you're capable of students." Halberton said with a smile.
"Cover your ears, Zwei!" Ruby said to her beloved dog who curled up into a ball as Ruby fired her weapon at the incoming creatures.
(Rage of Dust starts)
With a smile on her face, Yang ran towards one of the Beowolf's which also started running towards her only to end up getting hit by a fiery punch while the others past by her and headed for Blake. The blonde-haired member of Team RWBY was about to go and help her teammate when a pair of Beowolves sneaked up behind her, one of which swiped her with its claws which hurt her aura and knocked her to the ground. Kicking her legs up and getting back to her feet, Yang charged at the two wolf creatures and took them down with a series of punches and kicks she learned from Domon.
The ones that made it past Yang, swiped at Blake with their claws who just stood still and disappeared. The real Blake used this to slice her attacker in half before she slashed through another one. Another Beowolf lunged at her and forced her to back flip several times before she leapt over the creature of darkness and sliced its head clean off. As the wolf creatures vanished into mist, a back of creeps emerged from a nearby building and would have swarmed her if they weren't skewered by a volley of arrows from above.
Leaping down from his perch, Hanzo configured his weapon into its naginata mode as he landed feet first before swinging it low and eliminated the creatures before he looked towards several Ursa's which soon joined the 'party'. Hanzo smirked and charged towards the incoming bear Grimm and sliced them in half right down the middle.
Behind them, Weiss ran towards several other beasts before she jumped into the air stabbed one with her weapon. Holding her rapier high, she slayed four of them in a straight line before firing the revolver function of her weapon hitting two of the creatures with three shots to the head each. She nearly got hit by a Beowolf's claws had it not been for Arthur blocking the attack with his arm blades.
"Be gone, creatures of darkness." Arthur spat and used one of his arm blades to sever the hands of the Grimm before he fired his gauntlets guns. Bullets riddled the creature as the blade of his left gauntlet retracted and continued to fire while he slashed apart any Grimm that got close with his right blade.
Using her tomahawks to counter a blow from an Ursa's paws, Tammy threw one of her weapons at the head of the Ursa which fell to the ground and died before she configured her second tomahawk to its revolver mode and took aim at another Ursa. Despite being big and slow, the Ursa got closer and closer to Tammy, but at the last second, she jumped to the left and activated her semblance before she fired her weapon at the bear creature, killing it. "Uncle John would be proud." She said to herself before picking up the weapon she threw, transformed it into its revolver mode before holstering both of them before she whipped out her rifle and started to shot.
As for Ruby, fired her weapon at a wave of Beowolves which were charging her and killed many of them before turning her weapon behind her and fired backwards, sending her flying towards the last creature of Grimm and sliced it in two. Zwei who was chasing his own tail, watched his owner take out the remaining creature of Grimm.
The noise of gunfire from the weapons of Stella and the Admiral mowed down several Boarbatusk's, aiming for the gaps between its bone plates which did the trick to putting them down. Cody watched the two fire their weapons before they needed to reload when the black lab spotted an Alpha Beowulf on top of one of the wrecked buildings. Quickly the dog barked and warned the two of the creature above them as it landed in front of them.
"Stella, leave the Alpha to Robert! He'll handle it!" Halberton shouted before firing his weapon in short bursts at several incoming creeps. Stella followed suite as Robert went for the Alpha.
"Alright tall, dark and ugly. You want me, come and get me." He challenged which much to his surprise, the Alpha took the challenge and charged at Robert and swung its claws at the Strike Pilot. Leaping into the air and avoiding the claws, he plunged his wrist blade into the back of the Grimm before drawing one of his submachine-guns and fired. "Woah!" He said as the Alpha tried to shake him off its back.
His submachine-gun clicked dry before he removed his blades from the Alpha and leapt off as the creature as it fell down and died. "Next time, I think I'll just shot it till its dead." He said to himself as the last Grimm died.
(End song)
"Heh. Piece of cake!" Ruby said confidently to Oobleck who watched the entire fight.
"Cake nothing. No doubt there are more of them. This place is crawling with Grimm and if we're not careful then we're dead." Stella chimed in.
"Miss Loussier is correct. We should not celebrate yet, for I am certain that this is the first bout of many. Shall we continue?" Doctor Oobleck added to which the two teams readied their weapons again and continued on through the old city.
Hours past and both teams started to get tired while Oobleck finished rooting through a plant. "Excellent work, students! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any signs of criminal operations in this sector." He observed. "Oh well! Moving on!" he added.
However, Yang was a little annoyed by the fact that it seemed that she and the others were doing all the fighting while Oobleck wasn't helping them at all. Oobleck on the other hand said that he was helping by searching for any signs of something that was out of place. He then reminded the blonde-haired girl that not all missions were filled with daring acts of heroism. Yang seemed to understand, but Oobleck had his doubts.
As Yang destroyed more creatures of Grimm, Oobleck took the chance to ask each student why they wanted to become protectors of the people. "Tell me, Yang: Why did you choose this line of work?" he asked.
"Huh? Well, to fight monsters and save-" Yang began before Oobleck cut her off.
"No, that is what you do. I want to know why you do it. The honest reason as to why you want to become a Huntress." He asked, much more clearly. Yang then answered that since she was a thrill-seeker, she wanted to travel around the world and have many adventures as she could. Helping people along the way also worked out for her.
As for Wiess, when she knew she was capable of fighting and piloting a mobile suit she knew what her path in life was. Also, she wanted to prove the Schnee's were not the same as her ancestor in days long ago and while her father tried to fix things with the company, she would fight to protect the people.
Blake wanted to bring an end to all the corruption, inequality and cruelty in the world, but she didn't know how to do it.
Hanzo wanted to become a huntsman so that he could carry on his master's teachings to newer generations of fighters who wished to follow the path of a warrior.
Tammy wanted learn everything she could about being a huntress so she could ensure that something like what happened to her cousins mother years ago would never happen again. She also wanted to protect those who couldn't protect themselves from the likes of the Grimm, Dark Army and Frozen Talon.
Arthur simply stated he was continuing his family's legacy. Coming from a long line of warriors dating back from days gone by, he wanted to be just like his parents and follow in their footsteps.
Oobleck than looked towards Robert. "And you, Mr. Halberton. You're the son of a skilled military leader and it is clear you have had training long before you came to Beacon. Why be a huntsman when you could join the military?" he asked.
"You see Stella over there?" Robert asked and looked towards Stella who was sitting down and scratching Cody's ears.
"I don't follow." Oobleck said confused.
"I've met a lot of people who lost their families and homes to Frozen Talon, the White Fang, Dark Army and Grimm. No one should have to go through such a thing. I want to protect the people so nothing like that happens to them. Not only am I the pilot of the Strike and the one who uses the Soul Drive, but my ancestors helped build the first mobile suits. Piloting a mobile suit, it doesn't make me a soldier, but to me a Gundam is more than just a weapon, it is a symbol of hope and as such I want to be the hope to the people so they know that someone will be there to protect them. I also, fight for my family." Robert explained, taking out the photograph of his sister.
"Interesting." Oobleck said and turned to Ruby who was using her weapon to lift a whole turkey, teasing Zwei until she spotted the doctor and quickly sheathed her weapon, turkey and all.
"Sorry! Uh… Are we ready to keep going?" Ruby asked.
"Nope! I believe that will do for today. Its going to be dark soon." He began and tossed his bag to Yang. "The rest of you, set up camp in that building. Oh, and please make sure there aren't anymore of those… creatures. Your leader and I are going to secure the perimeter. Come, Ruby." He added.
"Doctor, I'd like to take my son and check something out." Halberton said to the Doctor. Oobleck nodded and lead Ruby towards another section of the city while the Admiral led Robert towards a different section.
Oobleck led Ruby to an area overlooking a line of Goliath Grimm which marched through the forest. Ruby readied her weapon to fire but Oobleck stopped her, mentioning that the Goliath's were of no threat to them and were instead waiting before moving away from the city. Oobleck then told Ruby the reason he became a huntsman was to ensure that a tragedy like Mountain Glenn would never happen again, believing he could pass on the information he taught his students would be used to prevent history from repeating.
In another part of the city, Halberton and his son mowed down two Ursa Majors which were hiding in an abandoned warehouse. "Alright, Dad. What's all this about? Why did you ask me to assist you and Stella on this mission with the Doctor and Team RWBY?" Robert demanded.
"Honestly, I wanted to be by my side on this mission and as to why we're here, I'm meeting my informant, Fulcrum." Halberton explained before the two spotted a cloaked silhouette of a mobile suit which was revealed to be Nicol and the Blitz. "You're taking a big risk, meeting me like this." The admiral said to the green haired pilot.
"I know, but I have the information you requested." Nicol said and transferred said information from his scroll to the Admirals. He then looked to Robert. "I take it you know who the pilot of the Aegis is now. I've known it was Neo and I didn't want to tell you until I was certain that you were the one in the photograph she threw away. I care about her deeply and I want to help her, but she's so focused on killing you. I just wanted you to know." He added before climbing back into the cockpit of the Blitz which then cloaked itself again and flew away.
Watching the Blitz fly away, Robert started to follow his father back to the campsite and looked up to the night sky thinking about what he should do to help bring back the girl he once knew.
F-7D Spearhead
Type: Mass-produced VTOL General-Purpose Aircraft
Weapons: 4x20mm cannons, 2x Missile bays
During the last years of the great war, the aircraft used by the kingdoms were declared to be obsolete, much to the arguments of many pilots. With newer airships and bullheads, the F-7D Spearhead was built to replace the older aircraft and were given the capabilities of a VTOL like the Bullhead but designed for air battles. It was later replaced by the FX-550 Sky Grasper, but is still used by Frozen Talon and the White Fang.
FX-550 Sky Grasper
Type: Multi-Role Aerial Support Fighter
Weapons: 4x20mm cannons, 2x weapons bays, 3 hard points for Striker Packs, 2x 105mm cannons, beam turret.
Although it was built to support the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, the FX-550 Sky Grasper has proven it is a capable combat fighter, capable of taking on mobile suits. Heavily armed, fast and armored, the Sky Grasper is the main fighter plane for the Atlas and Vale militaries. The best-known fighter pilots are Mu La Flaga and Kaite Madigan of the Roughnecks.
ZGMF-1017 GINN
Type: Mass Produced-General Purpose Mobile Suit
Power Source: Ultracompact Energy Battery
