{Neo talking/writing on her sign}

[Maine or A.I. speaking/typing]

Mecha came back in the room and started to speak to everyone. "Okay everyone the next show is going to begin but first I have a few more guests for you guys."

Another flash of green light enveloped the room and 8 more figures were there in the room. 3 of whom the Remnant side recognized.

"Winter!" Weiss exclaimed as she went up to her sister.

"Weiss? What's going on?" Winter asked.

Ozpin walked up to a man in a white military uniform. "James." Was all he said.

Ironwood was surprised to see Ozpin in his body and not in Oscar's head. "Ozpin?" He asked confused.

"Penny!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Salutations friend Ruby! May I ask where we are?" Penny said cheerily.

"Ugh, my head. What the fuck happened?" An all too familiar voice cut in.

"No." Tucker said. "No fucking way!"

The students from beacon froze when they heard the voice and were shocked but none more so than Jaune. They turn to see who it was that said that and they were greeted by the sight of a man in futuristic armor similar to the ones worn by the Reds and Blues except unlike most of them which were a singular color, except for Washington, his armor was a dark grey and orange color and his helmet was narrowed toward the front giving it a more angular design.

"Oh shit." Grif said.

"Felix..." Locus growled at seeing his old partner.

"You..." Felix said. "What did you do?!"

All of a sudden there was a growling noise from behind Felix and when they turned to see what it was and saw a large man in white armor with brown highlights wearing a round helmet that had a visor that covered most of it up. The design of the visor almost made it look kind of like some sort of face.

All of the Reds and Blues and the freelancers freeze at the sight.

"OH FUCK!" Simmons cried.

"It's the Meta! Run!" Grif screamed as he and Simmons started running around in a panic.

"What's the big deal about the big guy if he you're all panicking?" Qrow asked confused as they were all panicking at 2 of the new guests.

"Oh not much, just THE MOST DANGEROUS FUCKING MUTE IN GALAXY!" Simmons said while still panicking and running away as Neo took offense to that.

"Hey, could you guys keep it down? My head is killing me." A man in tan armor with silver highlights said as he got up.

Carolina, Wash and Tex froze. "York?" Carolina asked slowly.

"Carolina? Wash, Tex?" York asked before turning to the Meta. "Maine?"

Maine only growled in response.

"What the hell is going on?!" Asked a woman's voice. 2 more people got up and walked up to the group both in armor of similar colors of purple with green highlights.

"Allow me to explain." Mecha said as he got the attention the new guests before pulling otu his device again and flashing the information into their heads. Thank you exposition Deus ex Machina!

"Son of a bitch!" several of them cried.

"So I basically sent you the gist of it. The reason I brought you here," Mecha said as he gestured to the formerly deceased freelancers. "is because I figured I'd let you guys join in the fun and maybe talk with some old friends again 'cause why not."

South was the first to speak up. "You can't honestly expect us to believe that, do you?"

Mecha raised an eyebrow. "You said as you are in a theater room surrounded by people who are supposed to be dead and people from another dimension while a guy just used a device to flash information into your heads."

"...Ok fair point but this sounds incredibly stupid, I'm leaving." South said as she turned to leave through the exit.

"Fine, go ahead."

"I will."

"South!" North called out to his sister but it went ignored by both her and the host.

"Because I'm sure you have so much waiting for you to go back to being dead." Mecha said causing South to stop.

South looked down for a moment. "God damnit." She cursed before going back with the group.

"Ok everyone first things first, I didn't give Meta Sigma back so now he's back to being Maine. Kind of." This got a sigh of relief from several of the Reds, Blues and the Freelancers. "That doesn't mean he isn't still pissed about the Brute shot Grif." Maine growled in agreement with Mecha.

"Oh shit." Grif muttered scared.

"Oh by the way, Red team, I forgot to bring a few of your members so I brought them here." Mecha said as Donut and Lopez came through the door.

"Hey guys!" Donut said as several others who knew him groaned.

"Oh, and Maine, here's a tablet you can type into to for it to translate from text to speech." Mecha said as he handed Maine a tablet.

"Anyways you guys can get to know each other after this next show. Let's begin!"

Everyone got in their seats as the show began. The twins and York were sitting next to Wash and Carolina, Felix was sitting somewhere Between where Roman and Neo sat and where Cinder's group sat, and Maine ended next to Neo and Roman.

The screen turned on to show Beacon academy.

Several Bullheads were landing with students getting out of them, including a few familiar faces of Teams RWBY and JNPR.

"Hey it's us!" Nora cheered

"Why are your teams named after colors?" Felix asked.

Yang shrugged. "That's just how Professor Ozpin always named the teams."

"That's stupid." Felix said believing a color naming scheme to be absolutely redundant, even more so than codenames.

"Hey! I Like the names!" Ruby yelled.

"Actually, I have to agree with him, the color naming rule for teams do tend to be a bit needless." Ironwood said.

"Agree to disagree." Was all Ozpin replied with.

"So are we going to be watching your team then?" Summer asked Ruby.

But we're not focusing on these guys.

"Oh."

"Awww." Nora deflated a bit as ruby pouted and Yang was disappointed they didn't get to be shown kicking ass or something.

Nope, we're focusing on a completely different group. Coming out of one bullhead was a large teen the must have been at least 6 feet tall wearing a white jacket with a brown trim, grey T-shirt, white pants and black shoes. But his most noticeable feature was his white helmet with a domed visor.

[So I'm part of the group they're focusing on then?] Maine said/typed/wrote- you know what mean.

"Even in another reality you still have that chrome dome helmet." York joked only to get a can thrown at his head courtesy of Maine as Neo silently laughed.

"Wait, does that mean the other freelancers are gonna be in the main focus of this?" Wash asked, the host remained silent.

Coming out after him was a young man with short brown hair wearing a tan jacket with Silver highlights as well as a tan shirt and jeans. And another teen came out with a dark grey T-shirt with yellow stripes on the side also wearing Janes and carrying a duffel bag on his back. He had blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Looks like you and I are gonna be the stars of this too Wash." York said with a grin as he high fived Washington.

"He kinda reminds me of fearless leader." Nora said with a finger to her chin.

The others in the audience looked closer at the wash on and at Jaune.

"Yeah I could see it." North said.

"They do seem similar." Weiss commented.

"Yeah they kind of do look alike." Ruby added.

And last but not least to get out is a young woman with long red hair in a ponytail and green eyes. She was wearing more casual clothing since it wasn't time to fight but she still had some of gear on. She had a white tank top with a cyan jacket wrapped around her waist and was wearing black cargo pants, the she had on her were a pair of cyan advanced gauntlets and a matching pair of greaves, she had a pistol and a retractable stun baton at her hips.

Everyone had to do a double take again at seeing a younger Carolina, they turned to look at frozen Pyrrha who had her jaw dropped again. The new guests who hadn't noticed Pyrrha yet saw where everyone was staring at.

[You've gotta be kidding me.] Maine said

"Oh god there's 2 of them..." South muttered.

"The fuck?" North asked.

York turned to Carolina. "You have a sister?"

Carolina shook her head "No but it' still freaking me out."

Jaune turned back to the Carolina on screen. "She looks exactly like Pyrrha but more..." Jaune trailed off trying to find the right word.

"Intense?" Ruby added.

"Yeah. That."

York turned to his 3 friends. "Ok, now that we're here at Beacon academy what do you guys wanna do first?" He asked.

"What we should do first, is get all our gear ready for initiation and then make a plan to form a team." Carolina stated.

Maine, York and Wash looked at each other. "Makes sense to me." Wash said and Maine growled in agreement.

They began to walk to the auditorium when they heard an explosion in the distance.

Ruby and Weiss groaned knowing what that explosion was.

"What was that?!" Wash yelled.

"You think someone tried to attack the school?" York asked.

"Doubt it." Stated Carolina as Maine growled in agreement.

Weiss glared at Ruby.

"It's not my fault!" She cried.

"Maybe someone was waving around a cracked vile of fire dust?" Wash wondered.

Weiss and Ruby immediately stopped arguing and looked at the screen in shock.

"Dust?" South asked incredulously. "How could dust do that?"

"Oh right, no one explained it to you guys. Basically they have another version of dust, think of it like a power source the mine from the ground that's based on different elements." Mecha explained.

The Freelancers looked at him for a moment before turning back to the screen.

The others looked at him. "Come on Wash, who would be dumb or crazy enough to do that?"

"HA! I told you!" Ruby cheered in Weiss' face.

"What are talking about sweetie?" Summer asked.

"On the first day I accidently bumped into Weiss and some of her containers of dust and knock a vial of Fire dust to the ground. She picked up the vial and shook it my face."

Winter raised an eyebrow as Weiss' face became paler than it already is somehow. "Is this true?"

"Er... Maybe?" Weiss said nervously as she started sweating bullets.

Winter sighed, she knew her sister was very uptight and arrogant but this was a new level.

They went to auditorium where they heard Ozpin give his speech.

Team STRQ raised an eyebrow. "Seriously Oz, you used the same speech from when we were there." Qrow asked incredulously

"Yeah, that just seems lazy." Tai said.

Oz merely took a sip of coffee from his mug that he pulled from... somewhere. "I merely used the speech I felt was best."

Glynda and Ironwood sighed.

"Ohhh so That's why it seemed like he wasn't there, He actually wasn't." Yang said.

"Is it just me or did something seem off about him?" Wash asked. "Like he seems..."

"Shifty?" York asked.

"Ominous?" Carolina added.

Maine growled something but whatever it was it probably wasn't a complement.

Raven actually snickered. "Well they're not wrong." She said Causing Qrow and Yang to glare at her.

The screen faded before cutting to the next day at the cliffs for the initiation.

"For your initiation you must find the relics and bring them back to the school, you will be entering the emerald forest, do not hesitate to destroy everything you encounter or you will die." Ozpin explained. "Also your partner will be the first person you make eye contact with, make sure you get along cause they will be your partner for the next four years." The Freelancers swear the could hear the sound of glass shattering coming from somewhere.

"What?" Several Audience members asked.

"Seriously Oz, that was your plan to make up partners? That's a horrible idea!" Tai exclaimed.

[Yeah, like what if the person you find hates your guts? what the hell kind of 'teamwork' then?] Maine said.

Neo held up a sign saying {Agreed.}

Glynda rubbed her forehead in frustration since she has mentioned how horrible this idea was for initiation to Ozpin several times.

"Now we'll be launching you into the forest do any you have any questions?"

"Yeah, actually, I do have a question Professor." Jaune said.

"I actually have a question too." Wash said as he now had his combat gear on which consisted of gauntlets and greaves like Carolina but grey with a yellow trim, some armor with a similar look to his gauntlets and greaves, a battle rifle on his back, a pistol on his hip and some combat knives.

"This will be your first test. I wish you all the best of luck." Ozpin said obviously ignoring Wash and Jaune as he started launching students into the forest.

Jaune glared at Ozpin "You were ignoring me on purpose."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Ozpin said with a smirk.

"You wouldn't happen to be giving out parachutes, would you?" Jaune asked.

"No."

"Ok but what the landing strategy then?" Wash asked.

"You'll be making one up." Ozpin answered as he took a sip of coffee.

Jaune was then launched into the forest and Wash looked at Ozpin. "You sadistic bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Washington was cut off by being launched into the forest.

Ozpin was just ignoring the looks everyone was giving him.

The screen cut to Wash running thought the forest looking for someone when he started hearing explosions and went to check the source. He came onto an open clearing where he saw man surrounded by grimm, several Beowolves and a couple Ursas. He had gauntlets, greaves and armor similar to the what Wash and but in white with brown highlights. He pulled out the weapon on his back which appeared to be some sort of grenade launcher with a blade on it, the Brute Shot.

Maine grinned under his helmet ready to watch himself slay these monsters.

Meanwhile Ruby was geeking out about his weapon.

Maine fire a couple shots at a group of charging Beowolves and took out a few of them and then proceeded to charge at them and use the blade of his weapon to slice one in half before taking aim at another close by and blowing it up. One Beowolf took a swipe at him but maine grabbed the claw with his hand and threw the Beowolf overhead and slammed it into the ground and crushed it's head with a stomp.

Everyone watching was impressed by how well Maine was able to handle the grimm.

"Shit." Qrow said as he put a lien into Ruby's swear jar. "That guy is strong."

"No shit." Felix said.

Nora was grinning wildly at his grenade launcher.

Yang was grinning. "I would love to have a brawl with that guy."

"He is taking out those grimm with surprising efficiency and strength, there aren't many hunters capable of simply blocking an attack like that with such ease." Penny noted, taking time to make mental notes of Maine's weapon and skills.

North smirked. "Maine always was the physically strongest of the Freelancers," North thought for a moment. "except for Tex." Tex had a smug smirk when he said that, not that you could tell from under her helmet.

Raven was wondering if it was possible to get him to work for her tribe, she is impressed by his strength and brutality.

An Ursa came up to Maine and tried to slash him with it's claws but main rolled out of the way and pressed a button on his Brute Shot and tossed it in the air for a moment, the barrel extended to form a long handle which Maine grabbed. He then used his newfound battle axe and his brute strength to decapitate the Ursa.

Both Ruby and Summer were now shaking from excitement in their seats from the weapon. Like mother like daughter. Ruby was already making plans on recreating it and maybe adding jets to boost the strength of the swings when it's in battle axe mode.

A duo of Beowolves tried to sneak up behind Maine but were swiftly taken down by a couple bursts from Wash's battle rifle. Maine turned to face Wash and they both stared at each other for a moment before Wash spoke up.

"Looks like we're partners. Come on, let's go find those relics." Wash then heard growling and saw several more Beowolves coming out of the forest. "Right after we take care of these guys." Both Washington and Maine ready their weapon against the coming pack of grimm before the screen turns dark.

"Aw what?! That's it?" Grif complained.

"Yeah seriously? We don't even get to see myself or Carolina kick ass and fight whatever those monster things were?" York said.

"Don't worry, we'll come back to this one again eventually. For now I'm going to find another world before we take a brief intermission." Mecha then noticed something. "Hey, where's Church?"

Church then walked through the doors of the room. "Hey guys, I was getting popcorn and got sidetracked, you would not believe how big this place is and how much of a bitch it could be if you get lost. Did I miss anything intere-" He then saw the screen. "Are you kidding me?! I missed it!"

A/N: Currently looking for a possible team name for the freelancers. So far the best I've got is CDYM (Condemn), if you've got an idea for it's team name I'd appreciate it if you left a review with it.
