Hello there,
Welcome to the next chapter of RWBY: Heroes.
Hope your going to enjoy the chapter and now on to the review.
girani4: No, in story I haven't given a reason. Though Ozpin wanted to recruit him to be a student in Chapter one, so maybe he is just happy to be around. And if he wasn't allowed, who is going to make him leave? There is literally nothing they can do to stop him. Yeah, as for Morning Star I wasn't going to update it, so I deleted it.
Now story time.
Toshi entered Team RWBY's dorm room, "Ruby, I got your text." he said holding up his Scroll, but he found the girls of team RWBY standing there in new clothing.
Ruby is dressed in a long-sleeve, light gray shirt with black belted cuffs near the ends of the sleeves. She wears a red skirt with a large black-colored print of her rose emblem on the side of it, and the inside of her skirt is black. She still wears her black stockings and black-and-red boots. As usual, she wears a red cape with this outfit.
Weiss wears a pure white dress with black edging and two columns of four black buttons on the abdomen. Much like on the bolero of her original outfit, there is a print of her snowflake emblem on her back, in pale blue this time. She also wears thigh-high, white high-heel boots with frilly black thigh-high stockings that come up slightly above the top of her boots.
Blake wears a white v-neck zip-up shirt that is black along the bottom and has mid-length sleeves, her belladonna flower emblem is printed in off-white on the left side of the shirt. She wears black pants that have a vertical gray stripe on the outer side of each leg, and she wears a black belt with them. Her black high-heel boots come halfway up her calves. She still wears her black ribbons on her arms and her black bow over her cat ears.
Yang wears a collared cream top over a black shirt, and over top of the former is a black article of clothing that consists of a raised collar, a strap across her collar bone, and mid-length sleeves that are gold at the end. She has a pair of crooked black belts with gold accents across her hips, and a purple piece of fabric with lilac lace around the edges hangs from her left hip. She wears a pair of black boots with a series of belted straps across them.
"...Are we going somewhere?" Toshi said, closing the door behind him and pocketing his Scroll.
"Today's the day!" Ruby said happily leaps off her mattress and onto the floor, arms raised excitedly, "The investigation begins!"
"I'm glad to see we're taking this so seriously." Weiss said sarcastically, sitting on her bed.
"Hey, we've got a plan." Jason said as he entered the room, "That's... moderately serious."
"How could you have heard Weiss?" Yang said surprised, "You weren't even in the room and there was no way you could hear it from all the way in the hall."
"I hear everything... All the time. Though I try to filter out ninety nine percent to not go insane." Jason said before letting out a chuckle, "Sorry, I just heard Jaune trip and fall." before he noticed the look Weiss was giving him.
"Aren't you going to change into another outfit?" the white haired girl said but it was his younger half brother this time began to laugh.
"This is Jason's only outfit!" Toshi said through his laughter, "I have known him for years and he had three outfits. His current outfit is just his second but with a white coat instead of black, also he wears less belts."
"What's wrong with the way I dress?" Jason said, as he looked over his own outfit.
"Well your distinct lack of yellow." Yang pointed out, "Did he always had that flipped collar?"
"Yes!" Toshi said still laughing.
"My collar is fabulous!" Jason said, "Don't make fun of it!"
"We really need to go shopping for you." Weiss said.
Before Ruby started to speak, "Right! Everyone remember their roles?"
"No?" Toshi said.
"You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies." Weiss said, relaying her orders, "Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem."
"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members." Blake said, "If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning."
"I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale." Yang said with a wink, "Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard..."
"Great!" Ruby said, pumping her fist, "We'll meet up tonight near Yang to go over what we found. Everyone good?"
"Actually, Ruby..." Weiss said, walking closer to Jason, "Why don't I go with Jason to CCT?"
"Why?" Ruby said.
"Why? Because..." Weiss said, "Well, you can go with Toshi."
"Good point." Ruby said, rushing over to Toshi and flinging an arm around his shoulder, "Blue Rubies is ready!"
"Why does Weiss get to go with the blackberry stud muffin?" Yang said, standing next to Jason. Wrapping her arms around his own, pressing it between her chest.
"Is this normal?" Blake whispered to the younger brother.
"Unfortunately no." Toshi whispered back.
A little while later Ruby and Toshi were walking through Vale, waiting for information or a call from their friends.
"Toshi, I noticed the photo you have placed on your night stand." Ruby said, "I just wondered who they are." as the two stopped in front of a shop to get something to drink.
"It's a long and awesome story, Ruby." Toshi said, "Me and Jason use to be in a group together, called ourselves the 'Harmonic Heroes'. It might not be a surprise to you, but Jason was the leader."
Ruby was slightly taken aback when he said 'used to', "What happened?", she said, her curiosity getting the better of her, Toshi hardly talked about his past.
"The Harmonic Heroes finished what we intended to do and then Jason just left one day... We were his team, we kinda fell apart." Toshi said, from his expression, "We all went our separate ways."
Ruby could see that this was something very difficult to talk about for him. "U-Um, Toshi... There's... something I need to say to you." she said rubbing her arm, "The fact that we're friends makes me feel a lot better."
Toshi couldn't help but smile before, giving Ruby a pet on her head, slightly messing up her hair.
A little while later, Toshi and Ruby were standing near a flower shop, just looking around.
"Don't you feel happy when you go to a flower shop? There's so many colors, and they're all so pretty." Ruby said, "Hey, what's your favorite flower?", turning her head towards him.
"Roses, no question." Toshi said, his friends eyes went wide in surprise, "Especially when they are red."
"Is that so? It's just that roses always seem to have this mature, adult feeling to them.", she said impressed, "...Unlike me."
"You might not be the most mature person I know, but your fine the way you are." Toshi said with a slight smile, "That's what I like about you, your always happy and cheerful."
She let out an embarrassed chuckle, grabbing her Scroll from a pocket on her clothes, but in her excitement, the device is launched from her hands, bouncing along the pavement until it lands at Penny's feet.
"Oh! You dropped this." Penny said, picking up the Scroll and extends towards the clumsy teen.
"Penny!?" Toshi and Ruby both exclaimed in shock, the girl looking equally as surprised.
"Where have you been?" Toshi said, "We haven't seen you since that night at the docks."
"S-Sorry. I think you're confused." Penny said, throwing the Scroll into Ruby's hands, "Uh... I've got to go!", she turns quickly and walks away.
Toshi and Ruby run up to Penny until they gets in front of the eccentric redhead.
"Penny! Where have you been?" Ruby said, "It's been weeks!" but Penny told them it must be a misunderstanding.
"Penny... Is everything okay?" Toshi said with a worried tone, "I don't know what's wrong, but you have to listen to us. Those guys we fought at the docks, we think they're up to something big, something bad. We need you to tell us what happened to you that night. Please... As a buddy."
Penny sighing, then glancing to her sides swiftly, she walks over to their side and leans in close, "It isn't safe to talk here." she said, looking around suspiciously, much to the duo's confusion.
Toshi, Ruby, and Penny are strolling down the street.
"I wish I could help you, Toshi." Penny told them, "But I don't know anything about those men.", that wasn't his main concern right now.
"What happened to you that night?" Toshi said, "We were all together, and then you just disappeared. Were you kidnapped?"
But Penny shook her head, "Then where did you go?" Ruby asked next.
"I've never been to another kingdom before. My father asked me not to venture out too far, but..." Penny started before suddenly turning to face her friends, "You have to understand, my father loves me very much! He just worries a lot."
"Believe me, I know the feeling." Ruby said with a grin, something Penny returned.
"But why not let us know you were okay?" Toshi said.
"I... was asked not to talk to you or Weiss, or Blake, or Yang. Anybody, really." Penny said before she can continue, she, Toshi and Ruby hear the sound of megaphones announcing something, turning around the corner to look at the platform in the center of a plaza where the holographic image of James Ironwood is seen before six AK-130 Androids, who are in turn standing in front of two large metal storage cases with the spear-and-shield emblem on their doors.
"The AK-130 has been a standard security model of Remnant for several years, and they have done a fine job. Wouldn't you agree?" the image of Ironwood said, the clapping of the gathered audience causes the drones to take a jerky bow, "But the kingdom of Atlas is a kingdom of innovation, and 'fine', that's just not good enough, is it? We never settled for mediocrity, and neither should you! Presenting... the Atlesian Knight-200!"
The doors to the cases roll up, and six new, bulkier, shinier automatons stand at attention before knocking their obsolete predecessors down to the applause of the watchers.
"Smarter, sleeker, and admittedly, a little less scary. These models will become active later this year, but they won't be alone! Now, the Atlesian Military has always supported the idea of removing men from the dangers of the battlefield. However, there are still many situations that will undoubtedly require a human touch."
The last line draws Toshi's attention.
"Toshi? Ruby?..." Penny said nervously.
"So, our kingdom's greatest minds, in cooperation with the Drayce Corp., are proud to introduce... the Atlesian Paladin!"
Ironwood's image is replaced with the hologram of a robotic white behemoth, featuring hinged piston legs, large guns for hands, and a rectangular head, standing at least twice as tall as the Knights below it.
"Now, we couldn't have him here for you today." the voice of Ironwood said, "But these mechanized battle suits will be seen defending the borders of our kingdom within the year!"
"Maybe we should go somewhere else." Penny said concerned, at the side of the stage, two armored soldiers see Penny, pointing her out and calling in backup.
Thinking quickly, Toshi grabs Penny's hand while with his other hand grabbing Ruby's, before making a run for it, which snaps Ruby out of her weapon-awe-induced stupor.
"Toshi! Wait! Where are we going?" Ruby said, blushing a little when he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Somewhere not here!" Toshi said as the soldiers chasing after them, "Hold on." as he went into an alley.
"Down here!" an Atlas Soldier said gesturing to his partner, "She went this way!"
The soldiers following them, though a honking car nearly runs one over. He manages to brace his hands against the hood, which somehow stops the vehicle, and his partner runs along after the direction they thought the friends had go.
Looking down at them from the roofs above, Toshi and Ruby were grinning at the soldiers who had lost their targets. Giving each other a high-five.
"Penny?" Toshi said turning to his orange haired friend, "Why would those man chase you?"
"I-I can't! Everything's fine!" Penny said, becoming nervous again, it was easy to spot that she was lying.
"Penny, you can tell us what's wrong, we can help you." Toshi said gently, placing a hand on his distressed friends shoulder.
"No! No, no!" Penny said with a panic, "You wouldn't understand..."
"Give us a shot!" Ruby said, "You can trust us!"
"You're my friend, right?" Penny said to them desperately, "You promise you're my friend!?"
Both of them promised and Penny fell silent for a second, then, looking down at her hands, she started to make a cut on her palm, revealing the gray metal underneath.
"Toshi... Ruby... I'm not a real girl. Most girls are born, but I was made." Penny said sadly, as she turns her head to the side, "I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. I'm not real..."
She was taken by surprise when Toshi suddenly burst out in laughter.
"This is your big secret?" Toshi said giving her a warm smile, "I thought it was something way worse!"
"You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts." Ruby said, "Makes you any less real?"
"I don't..." Penny said slowly, trying to process their reaction, "You're... taking this extraordinarily well."
"My friend list includes but is not limited to..." Toshi said before continuing in one breath.
"My OP demi-god of a brother, a graduate student taught by a physical goddess, a human weapon with anger issues, a stubborn apple farmer, an annoying fire shooting man child with commitment issues, a hyperactive baker, a shapeshifting person of mass destruction with authority problems, a brash sound barrier-breaking flyer, a prim and proper fashion designer, and an overly shy animal caretaker, I think an android could fit in there somewhere."
"You're not like those things we saw back there." Toshi said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "You've got a heart, and a soul; I can feel it."
Penny's sad expression transformed in a smile as she grabs Toshi and Ruby into a hug and shakes them back and forth. "You're the best buddies anyone could have!"
"I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!" Ruby said muffled.
"Oh, he's very sweet!" Penny said releasing the duo, fully back to her happy self, "My father's the one who built me! I'm sure you would love him!"
"He built you all by himself?" Ruby said with a giggle.
"Well, almost!" Penny said, "He had some help from Mr. Drayce and Mr. Ironwood."
The soldiers who were after her now made a lot more sense if the general was involved.
"They like to protect me, too! They're not sure if I'm ready yet... One day, it will be my job to save the world, but I still have a lot left to learn." Penny said, "That's why my father let me come to the Vytal Festival. I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world, and test myself in the Tournament."
"Penny, what are you talking about?" Ruby said confused, "Save the world from what? We're in a time of peace!" for some reason Penny seemed to be confused too.
"Sweet merciful... The World really is always doomed." Toshi said, getting how his brother was ffeeling, "Now I know why Jason looks disinterested or bored when he fights."
Suddenly, Toshi's Scroll received a message, on the screen it showed that it was from Blake. "I got to go, see you two later." Toshi said, before taking off running.
Blake's fingers trace three scratch marks on a wall before peeking around its corner and seeing a pair of horned Faunus as they are ushered into a building by a bearded man.
She turns to her left as she saw Toshi approaching. "I got your messages." he said, "You ready to do this?", she gave him a nod before.
They start moving towards the entrance while Blake unfastening her bow.
They arrived at a hallway filled with cases, seeing another man announcing, "New recruits, keep to the right!", at the duo as they follow.
"I don't get it." Toshi said as he looked at the White Fang mask he had just received, "If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?"
"The masks are a symbol." Blake said as they put on their masks on, "Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters."
The new recruits to the White Fang are moving in a line to the side of the stage, a mere few dozen compared to the hundreds of white-vested, black-hooded soldiers to their left and up above in the balconies.
Toshi and Blake look around themselves when they stop. As a fully-masked man with tattoos standing starts speaking before the large sheet emblazoned with the bloody wolf and claw marks.
"Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours!" the White Fang Lieutenant said, "I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for for so long!" as he stepped to the side to reveal none other than Roman Torchwick, smiling confidently even as the crowd starts protesting.
"Thank you, thank you!" Torchwick said waving mockingly as he is followed by a girl with hair that is half pink and half brown, with white streaks in the pink half.
She also seemed to have heterochromia iridum, one eye is brown while the other is pink. She was dresses in a white jacket with a pink interior, brown pants, and gray boots with very high heels. Under her jacket is a black corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips.
"Please, hold your applause!" Torchwick said, pausing when he heard some ask what a human was doing here, "I'm glad you asked, 'Deerie'! Now, I'll be the first to admit, humans... are the worst. Case in point. So, I understand why you would like to see us all locked away, or, better yet, killed!"
"I don't like where this is going." Blake whispered.
"But, before the claws come out, I'd like to mention the fact that you and I all have a common enemy: the ones in control, the people pulling the strings, the dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms!" Torchwick continued, the crowd changes their tune and starts agreeing with him, "Government, military, even the schools: they're all to blame for your lot in life! And they're all pests that need to be dealt with! Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around... No offense to any rodents in the room."
With a snap of the fingers the curtain falls, "Oh no." Toshi said as he takes in the sight of the Atlesian Paladin-290 behind Torchwick, the mark of the White Fang painted on its shoulder as the whole mass of Faunus applaud.
"How did he get that?" Toshi muttered to himself.
"As some of you might have heard, this right here..." he said as he taps the giant mech, "Is Atlas' newest defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my 'employer', we've managed to snag a few before they 'hit the shelves'."
"Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our new operation in the southeast. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine... But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?"
The White Fang's roaring applause tells him the answer.
"We should get out of here." Blake said as suddenly the line with new recruits surges forward, the White Fang are cheering loudly as the recruits are marched to the stage, with Toshi and Blake having no choice but to follow along.
"I got an idea." Toshi said as he looked up, "Be ready to use one of the windows."
Meanwhile Jason walked through Vale by himself after he managed to escape from Weiss and Yang. He was just minding his own business until he heard a ruckus happening up ahead.
As he rounded the corner and was there in time to see Velvet getting shoved out of a bakery by the owner. She was thrown to the ground, and anyone who was around didn't pay any mind to her.
"Get out of here you Faunus trash!" the owner ordered, "If I catch you even so as much passing by here, I'll turn your ears into a scarf!"
With a huff, he was about to turned and returned to his bakery, but found himself staring into the angry amber eyes of Jason.
"How dare you treat Velvet that way." Jason said with a low voice, "She is studying to become a Huntress, a person who protects you all against the creatures of Grimm. Despise all the racism and discrimination you throw at her, she stands on her own feet and fights fate with her own strength, she chose to become a protector, instead of joining the White Fang. Something she doesn't have to do, but she does and you should all be grateful and deeply ashamed."
He directed that last bit towards the people who did nothing before guiding Velvet away from there.
A few streets away, Jason figured it was save enough to talk.
"Velvet, what happened in there?" he said as he watched her dusting herself off.
"I was just trying to get something from there, but seems like the owner doesn't take too kindly to a Faunus." Velvet said, "You didn't need to stick up for me. I am not worth it."
"What do you mean by that?" Jason said, "You are worth it."
Velvet looked surprised at him, taking in what he had just said. She deeply sighed, "Thank you. But it's nothing, really. I'm used to it anyway." she said before smiling shyly, "Still thanks for sticking up for me."
Seeing as he wasn't called by any of his friends, Jason decided to hang out with Velvet for a while, accompanying her to a local book shop.
"Be right there!" the owner said as the door bell rang.
The shop owner walks through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter. "Welcome how may I help you?" the owner said placing the stacks down, "How may I help you?"
"Just browsing." Jason said looking through the selection of books with Velvet. Despise offering to accompany her, Velvet seemed a little uneasy.
"Sorry to subject you to this..." she said as she avoided is eyes.
"I'm having fun, so don't worry about it." Jason responded with a kind smile, "This place has so many interesting books."
"Yeah, it has..." Velvet said as she browsed, "Do you read much, Jason?"
"I only read books if I need to." Jason said, flipping through a stack of comic's, "But I am a huge comic fan."
Velvet looked surprised at this, admitting she had a bookshelf full of girl's manga herself.
"I didn't picked you for a girl who liked manga." he said with a smile.
"I love them." Velvet said with a happy smile, "But I tend to get frustrated when the main character can't ask out the guy she likes, because I can relate to her."
As they exited the store, they continued to talk, "Do you read any magazines? Like fashion?" Jason said a little disappointed because he couldn't find any Superman comic's.
"I'm not really interesting in that type of stuff, I'm clueless when it comes to fashion, I need Coco's help picking my outfit." Velvet said, "Not like you, Jason. You, um, look fine no matter what you wear.", she added with an embarrassed smile.
"Thank you for the compliment." Jason said, before his hearing picked up the sound of his brother being in trouble, "Velvet, I had fun but I really need to go."
"Me too. I-I was able to, um, by myself with you, Jason..." Velvet said, "Thank you. I-I'll see you around school."
She then walked off as he waved at her before taking off towards the trouble.
Toshi and Blake burst through the window, glass shattering around them before they ran across the roofs. As they did, a loud crash of a wall being shattered, Toshi glances over her shoulder to see that the Paladin was in pursuit of them.
"Oh, fuck." Toshi said, leaping off of a car and manage to get on the roofs.
Torchwick had began to piloting the Paladin, following after them on the street as Toshi and Blake runs, jump, and flip from rooftop to rooftop. A cable shot from the Paladin's arm, wrapping it around Toshi, pulling him back and throwing him through a building.
Still tied and laying among the rubble, Torchwick send a electric conduct through the cable, trying to electrocuting Toshi into submission.
"Toshi!" Blake shouted over his screams of pain, throwing her weapon towards the cable, splitting it in two and freeing her friend.
"That... hurt." Toshi said, summoning his Keyblade and charging forward, "Command Style Change, 'Meteor Strike'!" his clothes gains a red and white color scheme and his weapon transformed into a heavy gauntlet.
Toshi landed on the Paladin, delivering a few punched of his own before sending it straight through a few builds, making it land on the highway.
As the Paladin recovers it could just barely evade the incoming attack from Toshi from above, as he landed he smashed up the highway.
"Your good kid." Torchwick said from inside his machine, "But your still not half the hero the other Keyslingers were." before the two charged again.
"I got your call." Yang said, arriving on her motorcycle as Blake landed next to her, "But... Are you sure you need my help? I think Toshi is winning."
Just as she said that, Toshi was hit by a powerful blast, sending him crashing into the ground, sliding across it as his Keyblade returned to normal before recovering and charging again.
From a upper highway, Weiss joined in on the fight, but Torchwick notices her on his sensors and crashes into a multitude of cars with the Paladin's strong bulk, sending her flying towards the duo.
Seeing what was happening, Toshi throws his Keyblade like a boomerang, slicing the cars in two as Weiss jumped down, using her weapon and fires several bolts at the Paladin, causing Torchwick to grimace from the force of the attacks.
Making a similar trust forward he had seen Weiss preform, creating an opening for him to
"Command Style Change, 'Earthshatter'!" Toshi said, giving his outfit a grey, red and black color scheme and his weapon transformed into a massive hammer. He charged forward, using his hammer to strike the Paladin off the highway.
Landing further down before Ruby, already having her Crescent Rose out in scythe form. The Paladin stands back up, and the rest of Team RWBY and Toshi falls beside the leader to take up positions.
Torchwick chuckles, moving the robot slowly towards the heroes.
Weiss performs her ice-circle trick, but backs out of Yang's way when she jumps into the air and hits the epicenter with her Ember Celica, creating a wave of mist that surrounds Torchwick.
Immediately, the Paladin activates its laser sensors to make up for the lost sight, but it barely sees the afterimage of Blake and narrowly misses the dashing Yang.
A gun manages to fire at the area between Blake and Yang, but out from the smoke of the blast came Toshi and Ruby.
"Command Style Change, 'Red Like Roses'!" Toshi said, his clothes gaining a red and black color scheme, his weapon transformed into a navy blue and white scythe as an aura of red rose petals floated around him.
Toshi and Ruby, who slashes the metal with their scythe's, causing it to falter.
Blake and Weiss go in this time, each girl going for the feet until Weiss jumps up and stabs a sensor before leaping off of a white glyph.
Torchwick lifts the Paladin's foot to crush Blake, but as if appearing out of thin air, Jason stood over them managing to hold the foot up before launching it upwards, bringing it out of balance.
"Hey, Torchwick." Jason said staring the machine down, "Why don't you come out there and face me like a man?"
"And face down your wrath?" Torchwick said back, "No. I think I'll fight from inside here where my odds are a little more... equal."
"Right equal." Jason said, sounding rather annoyed, "Haven't I already beaten you like a trillion times?"
"No, you have beaten me only two...", Torchwick said, he was about to correct him, but stopping mid sentence, letting out an angry roar firing off the missiles.
But Jason's eyes lit up, a burning stream of fire whipping out the missiles in a fiery explosion.
Yang doesn't waste a second, jumping onto the Paladin's back and punching the top with fiery shotgun blasts. Torchwick is knocked around in the cabin, but seeing as he can't reach her with his mechanical arm, he runs backwards through two columns and leaves her embedded in a third before backing away and turning towards her.
Just as she is falling down, the arm extends a closed fist, and when it punches her, she flies through the column and doesn't get up.
Turning to face the remaining heroes, Torchwick throws a punch but is shocked when Jason not only tanked the punch, but the mechanical arm was shattered into pieces.
Getting desperate, he swung the other arm of the robot which was caught by Jason's outstretched hand.
"Say goodnight, Torchwick." Jason said, punching the robot, still holding the hand as the Paladin send flying into the air before crashing down in a hundred pieces and a defeated criminal.
"Just got this thing cleaned..." Torchwick said as he gets up, slightly dazed but unharmed, as he inspects the damage while brushing himself off.
Torchwick looks up just in time to see Yang, now burning with her absorbed power, fire a single shot at the defenseless thief, but he's saved at the last instant when the two-toned girl from before drops in front of him and merely opens her pink umbrella, deflecting the blast entirely.
The new arrival hangs the weapon over her shoulder as she smirked.
"Ladies, Sir Knight, Player Two, Ice Queen..." Torchwick said, much to Weiss annoyance, "Always a pleasure! Neo, if you would..."
The pink-and-brown girl curtsies her enemies with a bow, but Yang will have none of it, charging forth with fists raised to strike the outlaws. Only to break their image as if made out of a mirror.
The rest of Team RWBY, Jason and Toshi run up to Yang's side, now cooled down with the end of the fight.
"So I guess he got a new henchman..." Yang said.
"Yeah, I guess she really made our plans..." Weiss said, while giving a smile, "Fall apart!"
Ruby giggles, Blake starts walking away, while Yang simply states, "No. Just... no. There's a time and a place for jokes."
"Was this not it?" Weiss said surprised.
"It just wasn't very good." Toshi said as he followed Blake, "At least she's trying."
"Neo?" Jason said, giving a moment to think over the name, "She didn't look anything like Keanu Reeves."
"Now that's funny." Yang said, placing an arm around her friend.
