Chapter 34- The Triplets

"If Vale made a propaganda film about joining the huntsman academies that was anything like that.. I would leave." Weiss shook her head.

"Me too, that film was riddled with lies." Pyrrha nodded.

Open to starry space.

"Looks like we're getting a marathon of Anthology episodes." Yang commented.

"If we get too many I might want to finish watching season ten tomorrow." Weiss added.

"What about binge watching the show!?" Nora pouted.

"Yeah!" Ruby shouted, crestfallen.

"You two may want to binge watch the show, but I don't want to sit here all day." Weiss explained.

Vic: "Project Freelancer, a military splinter organization designed with one goal and one goal only: create the greatest soldiers the galaxy has ever seen."

"The greatest soldier with the best armor, the best armor ability, and the best paired A.I. to help them run it." Jaune added.

Vic: "But, if you really wanna find who's the best, well that means you gotta sort through the worst…"

"The Triplets" title credit appears.

"A freelancer episode? Great." Weiss lightened up.

Blake nodded, sitting up.

Open to Ohio staring out into space.

Ohio: "(sighs) Oh yeah, oh yeah, Project Freelancer. You made it baby, you made it. You are finally with the best. You are finally with the best of the best– You are the best; you're the best around. Oh yeah baby, you are the best around, nothing's ever gonna bring you down."

Weiss frowned, there's something about that voice..

"Something's telling me she's not the best around." Blake commented.

"Pessimist." Ruby mumbled.

Pan around to see Iowa behind her.

Iowa: "HI OHIO!"

Ohio: "Ah! Jesus Christ Iowa! You don't have to yell!"

Weiss gaped at the screen, her face paling. No one seemed to notice.

"Iowa and Ohio sound familiar.." Blake hummed.

"They do? Who are they?" Ruby asked.

"I mean their names." Blake explained. "Ohio and Iowa."

Nora nodded, "Oh yeah, double O-hio. Sarge was going to have that be his codename in season eight."

"And Donut is from Iowa." Jaune added.

"How do you know that?" Pyrrha asked.

"He said it in season one I think." Jaune shrugged.

Weiss gave an absentminded grunt. She was rubbing her chin in thought.

"Oh Weiss did you want to say something?" Ruby asked.

"Huh- What? No." Weiss's eyes widened, swatting away Ruby's words as if they were flies. "It's nothing."

Ruby's eyes narrowed "Okaaay… sure Weiss."

Weiss continued to think, it couldn't- can't be her.. similar voices is all it is.

Iowa: "SOMETIMES I FORGET– oh, uh, sometimes I forget how to talk with these helmets on."

Ohio: "You just talk, you don't have to do anything different."

Weiss continued to pale, her shock however began to slowly morph into annoyance.

"Well now that you mention it Blake, Iowa does sound familiar." Ruby's eyes widened, "It's Professor Ozpin again."

"You're right!" Blake gasped, "It's even harder to hear Ozpin through this character."

"He sounds like Caboose to me." Pyrrha chuckled. "Acts like him anyway."

Idaho walks up.

Idaho: "Come on, lay off, Ohio. You know he hasn't been the same since the training incident."

"Is Iowa the one that had the dome shield around his head?" Ruby asked.

"That was Utah." Jaune explained.

Iowa: "It wasn't a big deal."

Idaho: "Your suit stopped feeding you oxygen!"

Iowa: "I–I was fine…"

Ohio: "For twenty minutes?"

Iowa: "But I got the best record for holding my breath."

"Nice." Nora voiced her approval.

"He really does act like Caboose." Blake said, glancing at Pyrrha.

"Yeah it's strange, but I don't mind." Pyrrha shrugged.

"I bet he is Caboose!" Nora gasped, "He's a freelancer! I knew it!"

"Caboose a freelancer? That's ridiculous." Blake shook her head. "They don't even sound alike."

"They have voice changers." Ruby pointed out. "South and Tex both had them, and maybe C.T."

"And both Caboose and this Iowa guy have had their suits turn off or whatever and stopped breathing for a while." Nora added.

Pyrrha chuckled, "It's true."

"So both have brain damage from it! It all adds up! The director probably needed someone in the canyon to watch over the Alpha!" Nora gasped.

Blake shook her head, Ren hummed. "It's an interesting theory Nora, but Caboose only had his incident in the Canyon."

"He can have two." Nora waved him off. "And he's a good fighter, see? It makes sense."

Blake laughed, "It's really interesting actually, and it could be true. The director sends the Alpha to Blood Gulch and picks a freelancer to watch over him that won't steal him. Then in Blood Gulch he has another incident and forgets it all… you have to take a lot of leaps but.. it's possible."

"That's so cool! No wonder Caboose wants to be his best friend!" Ruby gasped.

"He hasn't been a very good bodyguard however." Pyrrha noted.

"He got his mission mixed up." Nora explained. "Caboose is that guy. Agent Iowa!"

"It's only a theory." Ren reminded her. Nora giggled from the excitement of making her theory. Weiss remained pale faced.

Ruby looked to Weiss, "Anyway you want to add? You're looking a little pale."

"..." Said Weiss.

"Weiss? Are you okay?" Ruby asked.

"I just- I can't." Weiss sighed, "Play the episode."

Jaune and Ruby gave each other a look, Jaune shrugged and hit play.

Ohio: "Congratulations. You're real Freelancer material."

Weiss let out a long, drawn out groan.

"What?" Ruby asked, "What's wrong?" Genuine concern lacing her face.

Weiss took a deep breath, "This- this is insane but there's no doubt about it. Ohio has my sister's voice." She closed her eyes, shaking her head.

Rubh gasped, "What!"

"Hah!" Yang barked her laugh, "Your sister is in the show!"

"How did I know you would love this?" Weiss sighed.

"Your sister is in the show." Yang held up one hand, "How much of a stretch is it to assume you're in the show too?" She held up her other hand, stretching an invisible string.

"My sister may be in the show but that does not mean I am!" Weiss snapped.

Yang grinned, "I'm just going to wait until your voice clearly shows up in the show.. but anyway your sister?"

Weiss's face softened, "Yeah, Winter. Ohio sounds.. lighter and a little annoying but under that is definitely Winter's voice."

"It's weird hearing it isn't it?" Yang asked. "Hearing Ruby as fem Simmons was really weird."

"Yeah it is." Weiss nodded, "Especially because she sounds and talks so.. so different from Winter."

"Yeah, kind of cool though too right?" Yang asked.

Weiss laughed and smiled at Yang, "A little."

"So how many is that now?" Jaune asked. "Pyrrha, Nora, Ruby, Yang, Weiss."

Weiss shook her head.

"That's just out of us, then there's Professor's Ozpin, Oobleck, and Goodwitch." Jaune continued to list.

"Our dad." Ruby gestured to herself and Yang.

"Junior and the Malachites." Yang added.

"And now my sister." Weiss said, almost shocked at her own words.

"Who else?" Jaune asked.

"I can't think of anyone else at the moment." Blake hummed. "Other than Sun's friend Scarlet."

"I'm certain more will show up." Ren calmly prophesized.

Idaho: "Oh Iowa, I got a new one for ya!"

Iowa: "Tell me!"

Idaho: "Dungeons and Dragons; five things you don't want to make saving throws against. Go!"

"Saving throw? I guess Dungeons and Dragons is their version of Combat Ready." Ruby commented.

"Or the Remnant Campaign." Jaune added.

Iowa: "Oooh, nice! Okay, um... poison."

Idaho: "One."

Ruby, Yang, and Jaune nodded.

Iowa: "A fireball."

Idaho: "Two."

They nodded their agreement again.

Iowa: "A poison fireball!"

"Oh yeah definitely wouldn't want to try that." Jaune chuckled.

"What are they talking about?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"It's a game." Ruby explained.

Idaho: "That's not a thing."

Iowa: "It could be…"

Idaho: "Fine, I'll give it to you. Three."

Iowa: "A-a Super Saiyan."

Idaho: "(makes buzzer noise) Never gonna happen in my campaign."

"What's that?" Ruby asked.

"Probably something specific to their version of the game.. or something homebrew." Yang shrugged.

Iowa: "I'm just saying it's not something I would wanna make a saving throw against, because if Super Saiyan Goku comes up, that means I'm not playing with you anymore and that would make me sad."

"Aww Iowa is great." Yang smiled. "Like a little brother."

"Iowa, you mean Caboose!" Nora corrected, wiggling her eyebrows.

"That's not confirmed yet." Ren chided.

"The more Iowa talks the more merit I see in the theory." Pyrrha admitted.

Idaho: "Aww, that's sweet. Point conceded! Four."

Iowa: "An avalanche!"

Idaho: "Five!"

Ohio: "Oh, will you guys just knock it off with 'five things' for once?! See this, this, this is exactly why we never get mission assignments."

Idaho: "Who crapped in your Cheerios this morning? You usually love that game."

"I thought cheerio meant goodbye in Spanish." Ren frowned. "Wyoming used it."

"I guess it's a cereal." Jaune chuckled.

"Who pissed in your cereal is our version." Yang added.

"Not our version." Weiss gestured to herself, Blake, and Ruby.

"Yeah it's important to clarify that." Ruby added seriously.

Yang rolled her eyes.

"You get too many of your 'sayings' from uncle Qrow." Ruby added, Yang laughed.

Ohio: "Pff... I do not 'love that game'... (mutters) I just play it when I'm bored."

Iowa: "Which is all the time."

Ohio: "Because we never get mission assignments!"

"Why are all the girls in project freelancer mean?" Ruby complained.

Iowa: "You don't have to yell when you're wearing the helmet, Ohio."

Pyrrha and Nora laughed.

Ohio: "You know what? Bite me, corndog."

Idaho: "Oh, I get it. This is because of the new rankings, isn't it?"

The group grimaced.

"The rankings." Pyrrha muttered under her breath.

"No freelancer episode can be completely light-hearted." Jaune shrugged a 'what can you do?' gesture.

Ohio: "(strained noise) Probably... I don't know... yes... (sighs) I mean, I just thought... I just thought, you know, maybe this would be the time we wouldn't be dead last. You know, the time where we actually get to do something. I need an objective guys, a purpose! You know anything is better than sitting around this ship hoping we'll get noticed."

"I'm guessing they're ranked 48, 49, and 50." Weiss commented.

Idaho: "We do things, we get noticed!"

Iowa: "Yeah, everyone was talking about me last week."

Ohio: "That's because you demolished twelve Mongooses– wait, Mongeese? Mon... whatever! Twelve. In the last training session alone."

Montage of Mongooses being destroyed. First crashing into a wall, crashing into another mongoose, crashing a third mongoose, doing a cool flip and crashing, glancing at one making it blow up, mounting another causing it to blow up, and finally the last seven are destroyed all at once when Iowa sneezes next to them.

Nora burst out laughing.

"I counted fourteen." Ren commented.

"Most of those weren't even his fault." Ruby pointed out.

"He- he sneezed and they blew up." Nora giggled. "I want power."

Iowa: "I'm not a very strong driver!"

"Understatement." Weiss chuckled.

Ohio, Idaho: "Stop shouting!"

Iowa: "Sorry."

Agents South Dakota, Georgia, Connecticut and Washington approach.

Idaho: "Uh oh, single digits incoming…"

"Hey who's the green agent?" Ruby pointed.

"That one is new." Blake squinted.

Ohio: "Oh my god... they are just too cool…"

Camera focuses on C.T. and Wash.

Iowa: "H-hey, look who's with 'em."

Idaho: "Can you believe Wash and C.T. got called up to the top group?"

"That must mean this takes place before season nine." Ren commented.

"They were on the board when season nine started- well Wash was." Jaune amended.

"C.T. was on the other side of that line." Blake's face darkened.

Iowa: "Do you think they'll still eat lunch with us?"

Georgia: "Well, well, well, if it isn't the triplets."

"The green one sounds like an asshole." Yang grimaced.

Idaho: "Here we go…"

Georgia: "Yo what'd you say, Spudnik?"

Ohio: "Oh, ah, he was just saying that you guys are so great, Georgia."

"That's Georgia? This is a long time ago." Ruby raised her eyebrows.

"I thought wash didn't know Georgia." Jaune frowned.

"He just didn't know what happened to him." Blake explained.

"He deserved whatever happened to him if he's just a bully." Ruby crossed her arms.

Georgia: "Oh yeah?"

Ohio: "Oh yeah, I mean you are like total role models for us and maybe if we work hard then maybe we'll get called up like David and Connie one da– I mean uh, Wash and C.T. (nervous chuckle) Yeah, yeah... (clears throat)"

"They're like celebrities to her." Jaune commented.

"She's really nervous." Ruby added.

"She's mild compared to some." Pyrrha chuckled.

South: "Sure. Good luck with that, kid."

South and Georgia snicker.

"They're like the mean girls in high school movies." Ruby wrinkled her nose.

"I'm so glad no one like that is here." Jaune sighed in relief.

Iowa: "Oh! Five meats that you think wouldn't be delicious, but are totally delicious. Go!"

"That's a weird one, so the game is just to name five things?" Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, five things you're going to do after the finale GO!" Ruby ordered.

Weiss jumped, "E- what?"

"Oh!" Yang leaned in, "Work out."

"One." Ruby held up a finger.

"Read a book." Blake added.

"Two!"

"Train with Pyrrha." Jaune chimed in.

"Three!"

"Train with Jaune." Pyrrha chuckled.

"That's the same as Jaune's." Ruby's eyes narrowed, "No point." Pyrrha shrugged.

"Cook for Nora." Ren answered.

"Four!" Ruby turned to Weiss.

"Umm…" Weiss frowned, "Study?"

"Five." Ruby put up a fifth finger.

"..Is that it? That's their game?" Weiss asked.

"Looks like it." Ruby shrugged, "But I think we played it wrong."

"Yeah they only ask one person I think." Yang explained.

Ohio: "(through clenched teeth) Iowa…"

Idaho: "Beef's tongue."

"Gross!" Jaune gagged.

Iowa: "One."

Ohio: "Guys, stop being idiots!"

"Why is she so uptight? What's the matter with her?" Nora asked.

"To be fair to her, they are acting strange." Weiss explained. "I wouldn't want my sister to see some of your… quirks." She looked around at her team.

"And that means?" Yang raised an eyebrow.

"Puns, porn, and pest." Weiss explained.

Yang laughed, Blake scowled, Ruby gasped. "Wait, am I a pest? What's wrong with me?"

"Honestly I would allow you to meet Winter before anyone else." Weiss chuckled. Ruby stared at her, her unanswered question lingering. "And.. you're the opposite of order, my sister is very orderly and you're too chaotic."

Ruby brightened, hearing Weiss's compliment hidden between her words. "Oh yeah.. yeah I can see that. Plus your sister sounds intimidating."

Weiss sagged, "She is.. it's a little exhausting sometimes. And I haven't seen her in so long."

South: "What the hell are you guys doing?"

Idaho: "Pork cheek, th-the face, the face meat of the pig!"

Iowa: "Two."

"Bacon, ooo." Nora salivated. "I wonder how Grimm meat tastes."

"Probably like if death had a taste." Jaune grimaced.

"You can't eat Grimm anyway." Pyrrha reminded the two.

"What if you quickly ate the dust? Would it be like pepper?" Nora asked.

Weiss coughed, "That sounds horrible."

"I could eat and not gain any weight!" Nora gasped.

Ren and Jaune shook their heads.

Ohio: "No guys, shut up! You are embarrassing yourselves!"

The entire group cringed.

"Oh she embarrassed herself more than they did." Yang winced.

"It's unnerving to hear her screech like that." Weiss added.

Idaho: "No we're not."

Iowa: "Yeah Ohio, we're totally cool– SPIDER! (shoots at the floor screaming) I got him."

"That's an appropriate reaction." Ruby laughed.

"He got him." Nora giggled.

"I really hope there aren't any spider Grimm." Jaune rubbed his hands.

"There are horror stories that say there are spider Grimm that can cause hallucinations.. but I think they're a myth." Ruby commented.

"Wait what!?" Jaune yelped, seemingly not hearing the 'myth' part.

South: "Okay... uh, we're gonna go now…"

Georgia: "Yeah, some of us have actual missions to train for."

He and South walk away.

South: "Have fun cleaning our gear when we're done, triplets."

Georgia: "Christ, they were weird."

They round the corner and disappear from sight.

"They really are like the stereotypical popular girls in crappy movies." Yang laughed.

"I hate South more than I did before." Ruby crossed her arms.

Ohio: "Oh, my god, I am so mortified, you guys."

"She's like one of those stereotypes too." Yang noted.

"Yeah, I can almost picture her with long nails that click." Ruby clicked her tongue.

Yang snorted as she laughed.

C.T.: "Don't worry about it."

Iowa: "Hey, how come those guys are always calling us the Triplets? We aren't related or anything."

C.T.: "They can be kind of mean. They're just under a lot of... pressure. Try not to take it personally."

Ohio: "But... you guys are fine, right? I mean, we're all okay, right...?"

C.T.: "(chuckles) Of course, we're friends."

"C.T. is really nice." Ruby noted.

"She must not be disillusioned yet." Blake commented.

"I wonder what did it." Yang hummed, "That mission Wash consoled her about?"

Blake's eyes widened for a split second, "Hmm, maybe."

Washington: "Just... don't call me 'David', okay? This unit takes that kind of stuff pretty seriously."

Idaho: "You got it, boss."

C.T.: "Wash, we should get going; we don't want to be late. (walks away)"

Iowa: "See ya at lunch?"

Washington: "Uh... yeah. Sure. (walks away)"

"C.T. Seemed nicer than Wash." Ruby added.

"He was a little unsure when he said sure." Nora noted.

"I think he might be feeling the pressure of the top ranks." Blake guessed.

Iowa: "Well that went pretty well."

Idaho: "Five things you'd wanna have for lunch!"

Iowa: "Food."

"What else can you have?" Weiss asked.

"A drink?" Ruby shrugged.

Idaho: "One."

Ohio: "Guys, stop! Can't you be serious for once in your life? I mean you saw how they treated us. Even our friends."

Idaho: "C.T.'s still got our backs. But... yeah... I see what you mean... pretty sure we lost Wash."

Blake frowned, "Maybe they did.. I wonder why. It doesn't seem like something Wash would do."

"I don't know, but it's nice of C.T. to not let her rank go to her head." Pyrrha smiled.

"Do you think Wash did?" Blake asked.

"I doubt it." Pyrrha shook her head.

"Me too." Blake nodded.

Iowa: "Well, I still think that guy's pretty cool."

Blake nodded again.

Ohio: "Hmph. Cool... Come on. (walks away) They're not the only one with training ops. They want cool? We'll show them cool."

Cut to Wash and C.T.

Announcer: "Training session begin in three…"

"Hey it's not F.I.L.S.S." Jaune noted.

"Yeah, weird." Ruby shrugged.

Cut to South and Georgia elsewhere.

Announcer: "...two... one."

Alarm bell rings. The two Freelancer pairs move into action against each other, firing weapons. South and Georgia advance toward one end of a room, where Wash and C.T. are taking cover. Epic music plays until it cuts out as we cut to Ohio firing her weapon at Iowa.

Iowa: "(incoherent screaming)"

He retreats and falls down a staircase.

Iowa: "Spider! ...Webs are sticky!"

"I thought they were still freelancer material?" Weiss frowned.

"Yeah, the worst of the best.. you know still the best but not as good as the others." Jaune explained.

"Maybe they have other talents?" Pyrrha suggested.

Wash fires at three traffic cones, knocking them over.

Idaho fires at three traffic cones, missing each time.

"Stationary targets!" Ruby groaned. "Why does everyone suck at shooting? You point and shoot!"

"Point and shoot? I thought you said there was an art to it." Jaune frowned.

"There is if you want to be any good, but to hit a stationary target.. point at it and shoot." Ruby mimicked a pistol firing.

Ohio: "This is so not cool."

Idaho: "Could you not stand so close to me?!"

Wash and C.T. exchange gunfire from cover at one end of a hallway.

Iowa drives a Mongoose into a wall and it explodes in flames.

Yang laughed, "That's fifteen mongoose's."

"He is a terrible driver." Ren nodded.

Iowa: "Oh man…"

"The triplets aren't just the worst of the freelancers." Weiss spoke up. "They seem to be bad soldiers in general too."

"Almost like they're supposed to be simulation troopers but accidentally got put in with the freelancers." Blake added.

"Do you think that's what happened?" Ruby asked.

"It's a theory." Blake shrugged.

Time lapse. Ohio watches Wash and C.T. training in another room.

Iowa: "Five things you'd rather be doing. Go!"

"Nothing!" Ruby and Nora chorused.

"Yeah same here, I don't want to do anything but watch this, work out, and sleep today." Yang explained.

"This is the highlight of my day." Weiss admitted.

"Yeah we're just waiting for the tournament to start." Jaune gestured to his team.

"Yeah we are too." Ruby nodded.

Ohio: "Anything."

Iowa, Idaho: "One!"

Ohio: "Something else."

Iowa, Idaho: "Two."

Ohio: "Not this?"

Iowa, Idaho: "Three…"

Ohio: "Contemplating the futility of existence in a coffee shop?"

"Now that sounds fun." Blake pondered.

"Our definitions of fun are wildly different." Yang recoiled.

"A forest would be the better environment for that, but I don't see existence as futile." Ren commented.

"Me neither." Blake nodded.

Iowa, Idaho: "Four...?"

Idaho: "Seems like your heart's not really in this, O…"

Ohio: "...Your mom!"

Yang burst out laughing. "Ok.. I like her."

Iowa: "Ooh, snap! That's our girl."

"I can see why they're called the triplets, they get along well." Pyrrha commented.

Time lapse. Ohio, Idaho, and Iowa walk down a hallway.

Ohio: "Yay... it's assignment day. Iowa, for fuck's sake, why did you have to crash that Mongoose?"

Iowa: "I technically didn't have to, it was more like, why did the Mongoose wanna crash me into the wall."

"He even has the same logic as Caboose." Ren chuckled.

"Someone put a wall in his way." Nora shrugged. "It's because he is Caboose."

"The two may simply be similar, but your theory continues to become stronger." Ren acknowledged.

Idaho: "That's not how driving works!"

Yang laughed.

Iowa: "Apparently not!"

Ohio: "Oh, we are never gonna get noticed around here…"

They enter a room and the doors shut behind them.

Counselor: "Agents Ohio, Idaho, and Iowa. I'm... so glad we were able to find a time to talk to you in private. While the rest of the Freelancers are receiving their weekly duties, the Director has a... special assignment for you."

"A super secret mission?" Jaune raised an eyebrow, recalling the propaganda film.

Idaho: "(to Ohio) You were saying?"

Ohio: "For us? Really?"

Counselor: "We have received... intelligence about... suspicious activity on a strategic outpost, that warrants... further investigation. The Director believes your... particular skill sets are more suited for the mission."

"..You can hear the BS." Yang commented.

"He was lying with every word." Weiss scowled.

"Dirtbag." Nora grumbled.

Ohio: "(giddily) A mission?"

Iowa: "We have skill sets!"

Counselor: "Yes, you most assuredly do."

Idaho: "But we're not really good at, um... anything."

Counselor: "As you may have noticed, you consistently rank toward the bottom of our regular assessment of the abilities of members of Project Freelancer."

"That was the first honest thing he said." Blake pointed out.

Ohio: "(mutters) No shit, Sherlock…"

"Yeah I like her." Yang grinned.

"What's a Sherlock?" Nora frowned.

Counselor: "But as you also know, most operations happen in teams of three or four. In this regard, you have shown... remarkable cohesion. In fact, in assessing your abilities to work as a group, you rank at the top of that metric."

"..I wonder if that's true?" Ruby frowned. "They are good friends."

"I doubt it, the others work well as a team too." Blake pointed out.

"North and South aren't perfect and with Carolina and her group, they were more of a unit with a commander than a cohesive team." Ren pointed out.

"Do you think they're actually talented working together, I would think they behave as a comedy of errors." Weiss explained.

Ohio: "Oh my god... oh my god...! (gasps) I mean, thank you. Sir."

Counselor: "We are... confident in your abilities. Now, please prepare your equipment. The dropship departs at 0900."

Doors open.

Ohio: "(gasping squeal) Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!"

Yang glanced at Ruby while Ren glanced at Nora. Both were thinking the same thing.

Idaho: "What is it, O?"

Ohio: "This is our big break! If we do this mission right, people will have to take us seriously! All we have to do is work as a team!"

Idaho: "Bu-but teams still have to do, you know, have people do individual things. Things that we're... not good at. As far as I can tell, we're just really good at being equally sucky."

"He looks like the pessimist of the team." Blake noted.

Ohio: "Do not shit on my parade, Idaho."

Iowa: "Oh, wait wait wait, hold on a second…"

Ohio, Idaho: "What?"

Iowa: "I don't have to fly us there, do I?"

Silence from the other two.

"Oh no, they're going to crash." Weiss facepalmed.

Black screen, dropship engine noises.

Four Seven Niner: "Alright you three, this is our drop point! Good luck, okay?"

"Good it's not him, if it was then project freelancer would have lost that pelican." Weiss commented.

"And three agents." Blake added.

Iowa: "When do we call you to bring us back?"

Four Seven Niner: "Jump in three... two... one!"

"That's ominous." Blake noted.

"They're not bringing them back are they?" Ruby asked, already knowing the answer.

Triplets screaming.

Iowa: "We were really high up!"

Ohio: "I hate you guyyyys!"

Continued screaming.

On screen: "TO BE CONCLUDED..."

The episode ends.

"To be continued? I guess there's a part two." Jaune hit play on the next episode.


My Reviews/PM's are open to:

-Flames/Rants

-Suggestions for this saga of reaction fics that aren't OOC

-Questions

-Fanart

-Pointing out any and all mistakes (Especially OOC)

-Side Story ideas

-Long reviews, please? I love long reviews :)

I'd love to hear your ideas for the C.T. reaction. I already have a lot of ideas because of the significance of that episode.

And as always if I write a bad chapter, let me know. It's easy to go back and rewrite certain scenes.

P.S: Pointing and shooting is essentially all you have to do with a gun. Gun shooting enthusiasts(Rednecks) may try to say that there's more to it than that but there's not. I shot a gun for the first time a few months ago and it was insane how easy it was. Scary too.

NEXT CHAPTER: Next chapter will be posted later today or early tomorrow, I couldn't finish it before I had to go to work. After that chapter will be a season 10 episode. No season 14 episodes until after the season 10 finale!
