Sorry - this isn't a full chapter - just one that I am afraid of making, which is not common for authors to do (I think)
Okaaaay so for the first time - I'm in a bBIG hitch - like super big - after that big-ass chapter. And I could use a little bit of help from you my fellow readers and authors. Like what ol' Ellie said in BL3: "Use what the land gives you, right?" - or something.
No sugarcoating, I'm a shitty writer when it comes to plotting a chapter, letting out planning fight scenes. I'll just lay out the sequence of the next chapter (just because this isn't a big deal to me, and not a big deal to anyone - unless one of you's a hardcore fan of RWBY/Borderlands/Both.)
CHAPTER 8: TO KINGDOM COME
- Zane checks on his Echo to see his team are now moving closer to the warehouse on all four directions.
- He smiles as he sees the giant volatile tanks behind him.
- As Moze about to slice the guard's throat unnoticed, she suddenly hears an explosion coming from the south, alerting all of the guards in the vicinity.
- She immediately uses her assault rifle and open fires at the guards, breaking the stealth section of the mission.
- Flak sicks his beasts at the guards, and summons a swarm of Rakks near Moze and Amara, supporting his team from afar.
- Moze digistructs out Iron Bear now with homing rockets, firing the guards behind cover.
- She then exits the Mech, activating the Auto-Bear function and jumps on top of Iron Bear, mowing them down with the secondary machine-gun turret installed atop the mech.
- Using his grenade to attract the rest of the guards, Zane gets himself spotted by the guards.
- But he shrugs his shoulders and swap places with his Digi-Clone to move away from the volatile tanks, and uses the detonator, to blow up the large fuel tanks to kingdom come, and letting the explosion kill them all.
- He then hears gunshots in the distance and rushes to help his team.
- Amara rushes in the battlefield, punching anyone in front of her, but then sees a massive enemy mech, much bigger than Iron Bear.
- Amara calls out for Moze, only to be back-handed away by the mech, sending her slamming against the wall and out of the warehouse.
- Moze retaliates by setting the Auto-Bear function to zero, sending Iron Bear in a suicide charge, crashing the large mech down, but the enemy mech is standing losing it's weapon systems only.
- Flak lets out a Gamma Burst, enlarging Mr. Chew, Broodless and Meat-Thief, and starts ripping the enemy mech, piece by piece.
- Zane arrives just in time to summon SNTL drone and orders the SNTL drone to fire a burst of missiles to finish off the pilot inside the mech, finally destroying the mech entirely, and finally clearing out the warehouses.
- Roman observes the entire thing with Neo and thanks them for clearing the place out, and pays them. And asks them if they are available to have another job.
- Zane smiles and just replies that they'll keep in touch, and leaves the warehouse, heading back to Beacon.
- As they head back to Beacon, they see the ruined shop of Tukson's Book Trade.
- This angers Flak, eager to find the one who's responsible for this entire mess and kill them, since Flak promises that he'll repay Tukson.
- Moze assures Flak that they are Vault Hunters, and anyone who screws with them is buying a one-way express ticket to Hell, learning that from their time in Gehenna.
- However the Vault Hunters couldn't do anything and continues to head their way to Beacon.
- Meanwhile, Tannis is currently wandering around the halls of Beacon and sees Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck having a chat.
- Tannis talks about Eridian technology and how space travel works
- Port and Oobleck talks about the history of the four kingdoms in detail.
- Tannis ends with her thanking the two professors and leave the area, but not before stopped by Oobleck, asking her if she's free tomorrow afternoon.
- Tannis accepts but she'll have to ask the Vault Hunters for confirmation.
- Tannis arrives in the room to see Flak cooking food, but this time - it's salad, since his beasts are already full after eating the dead bodies of the guards. Broodless and Mr. Chew are carnivorous, but Meat-Thief prefers his food to be cooked not eaten raw.
- Tannis talks about their day and sees the large sum of money they brought.
- Tannis asks where did they get the money
- Zane tells Tannis about a good friend that paid them after doing a simple job, lying about having ties with Roman Torchwick.
- Moze, Amara and Flak have their own say, proving their point.
- However, before Tannis could say further, they receive a surprise call from Mordecai.
- Mordecai asks how are they doing in Remnant, and what does it look like from there.
- Zane tells him they are okay and Remnant is summed up as ' Remnant's environment is like Eden-6 and Promethea had a baby, which is diverse. Mixed with Pandora-like creatures except they all have the exact color: black and with a skull mask.
- Mordecai laughs and says he can't wait to visit the planet, and hunt some Grimm down. Since things are rough ever since Lilith presumably died
- Although Tannis interjects that theory and that she still lives - even she knows she's in denial of her death, she says they all can't argue with Science and Facts.
- Mordecai sighs and wishes he has the same mindset as Tannis, just losing one of his teammates besides Roland took a toll on Brick and Tina as well, but they've already went through that cycle (Mordecai trying to remember the name, to which Tannis corrects him as Kubler-Ross)
- Moze then asks why is Mordecai calling them.
- Mordecai updates them that the ship has now fully stocked core batteries for a couple of trips back-and-forth from Remnant. Also the B-Team is currently inside the ship, because they want to visit Remnant too - it's supposed to be Mordecai and Brick, but Tina has her own methods of making both of them spit out the truth.
- Mordecai tells them that Hammerlock is currently in a meeting with Wainright Jakobs and Rhys Strongfork, since Hammerlock told them about Remnant and how it is unaffected by the other corporations - fortunately Mordecai heard a little bit of the meeting.
- Rhys is rather nervous about the other serious Atlas counterpart in Remnant and that he needs to make preparations for a 'serious' entrance, although Mordecai doubts it. Plus having two Atlas at the same time is gonna be a bit confusing.
- Mordecai also heard Hammerlock and Wainwright planning to expand the Jakobs Corporation in Remnant. Since Wainwright is tired of the 'Corporate Life' and just bring Jakobs Corporation on a more peaceful company, just selling other stuff besides ornate and intricate weapons.
- Suddenly, Mordecai bids them goodbye as Tina calls for Mordecai to play Bunkers and Badassess with Brick, Zer0 and Gaige.
- Moze then asks what was Tannis going to ask them about
- Tannis then dismisses it and leaves the Vault Hunters, going to one of her experiments in her room. And tells the Vault Hunters, they'll have their first training session with Team RWBY tomorrow, and meet Ozpin and the rest at the Courtyard.
- On the next day, Teams RWBY will have their first training session with the Vault Hunters, the lesson is all about basic combat WITHOUT using Semblances or Auras, but they can use their weapons.
- Since Team JNPR is currently busy with their school work, they'll have to make do with Team RWBY.
- Ozpin and Glynda meets with the Vault Hunters
- Moze is still sleepy after their celebration for getting quite the reward.
- Glynda asks her what reward.
- However, Zane completely stops that discussion and distracts her by flirting with her again, of which it worked. The distraction, not the flirting.
- Team RWBY finally arrives out in the Courtyard to meet with the four Vault Hunters.
- Flak will train Blake about using her senses. Preferably, Flak will use his beasts. (Animal vs. Animal)
- Moze will train Weiss about taking hits because Weiss is fragile as ice plus Weiss doesn't like being with Zane.
- Amara is assigned to Yang, both of them are eager to brawl with each other. (Muscle vs. Muscle)
- Zane will mentor Ruby about testing her speed and reflexes without her Semblance. (Speedster vs. Speedster)
AU: NOW THIS PART! - Would you guys rather have them on 1 Location? Or do we have to separate them into different areas of Beacon? Or, you know, we can just scrap this entire thing.
Also feel free to put some suggestions on the comments/reviews section below. Psst, you can also criticize it - better point out the harsh truth than taking it and not be satisfied. XD
And don't worry - the next chapter will be out later on.
