Chapter 38: A Clip and 2 Trailers
Today we'll see two things that you'll like hopefully. They will be Gumball 'Finally' little song, The Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. Then the Rick and Morty season 4 trailer. Enjoy.
"Alright everyone, we're back and time to see another world. Like the last one, we'll be seeing three sets as well." Mayden told his captives.
"Three worlds. Well ain't that a bonus." Qrow said as he lifted his mask a bit and began drinking.
"I wonder what we'll see next? Us, or other people?" Jaune thought eating a burger.
"Tch. Are you all seriously just used to this." Raven was still upset that everyone here was just acting normal. As if they were accepting their fate like weak lambs who wouldn't leave the pen.
"Unless you have powers of a God, then yes." Ironwood told her, prompting Raven to just growl.
"I want violence!" Tyrian demanded.
"Oh please." Watts rolled his eyes before taking a sip of Mistral wine. Small smile settled on his face for the delightful drink. "I'd rather see a world of technological wonder." A disgrace he may be, but at heart he's still a scientist.
"Maybe a world where…" Hazel trailed off, but a image of someone in his mind came up. His sister. He pondered of maybe, just maybe...a version of her is out there somewhere? He sincerely hoped so.
Watching Hazel, Qrow sighed and also felt the same. Also wondering if in the multiverse, there's a world where Team STRK existed without breaking up. Boy would that be a day.
"I guess we'll see what we see." Ozpin drank his chocolate. Though he hoped the next world wasn't him acting like a fool like the last one. He knew for the matter Salem was smug when seeing that. Hopefully he'll be more mature in the next one.
Lionheart for the matter was now calming down. Feeling much more safe even though he had his enemies here with him. Thankfully the rules not only protected him...but gave him the time to finally relax and eat such fine food. Nearby while Raven was still upset, she decided to may as well summon some food that she liked and eat it. At least her tastebuds were happy.
"Okay little peeps." Mayden told everyone as the screen turned on. Get ready to watch the new worlds.
The screen then began revealing what they would see.
It showed Beacon Academy, the cafeteria. There sitting down was none other than Jaune Arc and Ruby Rose, both eating their meals.
"And this turned into a bore." Cinder said, looking none to pleased.
"...Yeah, this is kinda disappointing." Qrow agreed.
"I'm sure excitement will happen." Jaune tried cheering him up.
"Booo!" Tyrian had his thumbs down with his scorpion tail doing the same.
Jaune and Ruby just kept eating, with nothing important happening at all. Nothing at all. Just them eating with no excitement around.
"...Hu-Wha?" Ironwood then woke up. Realizing he had just momentarily fallen asleep.
Glynda was more attentive, yet even she felt herself getting dreary at this.
It seems many have gotten to used to action. That'll change soon enough.
At long last the two then decided to speak.
"So." Ruby said, finishing a cookie. "Got any new gigs? Any stories where you'll be the main character again with awesome powers?"
"Probably." Jaune admitted. "Latest Creator is going to make this world where I'll be having another harem."
"Again?"
"Yep. Though this time it'll be a slow burn." Jaune sipped some soda. "No rushful sudden love."
"Good." Ruby said. "For me, I got a gig where I'll be going back to the past to save Remnant again." She then paused for a bit, eating another cookie. "But for now, I'm doing nothing."
"So nothing going on today?" Jaune asked.
"Nothing much really."
"Uh!" Watts was also feeling the boring effects. While the talk was interesting, it was just so dull. Hazel actually looked plain tired and wanted to sleep.
"Make it stop!" Qrow pleaded.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree." Ironwood accepted.
"Don't worry folks." ,Mayden told the cast. "Things are going to change now."
So it would appear Jaune and Ruby were doing nothing important this time around.
Instantly a slap was heard across the table.
"Finally." Many in the audience said now wide eyes and awake.
"Fiiiinnnnaaaalllyyyyyy!" Cardin Winchester said with Ruby and Jaune shocked and staring at him. Coco and Flynt by him looking just as happy.
"Is it my turn?" Cardin began. "Is it my time to leap from the background? And shiiiiinnnnneeeee!" He yelled jumping on the table with everybody watching. Various teams from Beacon and other Academies watching. He then stepped down with Coco and Flynt following him.
"We've been quiet for way too long!"
"We can say whatever we want to now!" Coco began singing.
"There is nothing to stop you from listening." Flynt also sang along.
"Hey there!" Sun then surprisingly came from behind with a grin on his face. "We're talking to yooouuuuuu!"
"Okay, this just got strange." Qrow said.
"Yet full of interest." Glynda added in.
"I have no doubt something surprising will come next." Ironwood commented.
"Hopefully something good." Cinder muttered with Salem staying quite.
"We've been behind you all along! But this is our chance!" Cardin then grabbed Ruby and Jaune and hugged them. "To stand in the spotlight of stories and shine!" He then dropped them with Coco and Flynt following Carding words.
"And breath!" Flynt yelled.
"And sing!" Coco declared.
"And dance!" Sun shouted as he did a back flip with many teams clapping.
Cardin then grabbed Jaune and Ruby by their collars and dragged them to his face. Their usual OP powers not helping them at all somehow. It was then Cardin told the two one thing. "Just notice us!"
It was then the faculty of Beacon began feeling a bit guilty. Thinking on it, for some reason it always felt as if they pay attention only to Jaune and Ruby's respective teams. Ignoring all the other teams.
Salem and her faction also realize they did the same. Perhaps I should observe third parties more.' Salem then thought. She focused so much on Ozpin and his allies, that she neglected to see if there were other possible people that could stand in her way. She won't make that mistake.
"You have ignored us, for way too long! Do you really think that's fair!?" Suddenly Cardin, Coco, Sun, Flynt, Nebula, Brawnz, and others were walking toward Ruby and Jaune with both frowns on their faces and their weapons raised. The two main characters backing away in fear. "There's stuff that happens to us as well, while you're in a story elsewhere!"
The two were then pushed into the hallways. Where more team leaders of all four Academies were out looking very upset. Angered that Jaune and Ruby were always the main characters of most worlds while they were background characters with no development at all.
"So stop taking our lines!" Their weapons pointed at them. "This is our time!" The two were surrounded. "It's your turn to stand behind!" Even Port and Oobleck were part of this.
"Okay, this is getting scary." Jaune said slinking back into his seat.
"Uh, what is thi?" Lionheart asked.
"A bunch of people pissed that Jaune and Ruby are always the main characters with the story focused on them and only them and their teams." Mayden said. "Upset that they get all the favorites and followers with harems and powers never before seen."
"...That sounds unfair." Cinder just said.
"That's why they're angry." Mayden rebutted her.
"Glad I'm not in their shoes." Raven said, astounded by the animosity these people had for Summer's daughter and Jaune.
"Their resentment is great." Salem could see it in their eyes.
"I hope they came out alright." Was all JIronwood could say with Glynda nodding.
"Don't make a fuss!" The teams of Beacon and others said with the neglected teachers joining in. Even Amber who's eyes glowed with magical energy. Jaune and Ruby holding each other tight out of great fear.
"This one's about us!" The people chanted as their weapons were fully aimed at them. Plot armor and sudden heroic rescuing wasn't going to help them this time. Their teammates are then seen only tied up and gagged, unable to do anything but watch.
"Juuuuuusssssttttt nooooottttiiiiccccceeeee uuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuu-uuuuuuusssssss!"
Like that, they then finished. Ruby and Jaune panting in great fear and realized what had to be done. And allow them to be the main characters and focus of the story. Jaune then nodded as he whispered out the words they wanted to hear. "Okay."
"We'll listen." Ruby whimpered.
The scene then ended.
"..." Glynda decided that maybe...she should pay attention to more students than just teams RWBY and JNPR. Ozpin and Jaune felt the same, as they were both Headmasters that needed to treat the students equally.
Ironwood decided to give the special training to those that could succeed.
Raven thinks maybe she should also help her family bandits rather than just focus on a daughter that will never join her.
Qrow pondering if he should go back to Signal with Tai and help a few kids out to be better prepared.
Salem also decided to affect more people's lives. That wasn't good. Seems Tyrian was about to have more fun.
"Well, I hope you enjoyed that." Mayden happily said, showing them the scared versions of Jaune and Ruby. "Now onto another matter. This one showing two individuals who will become epic rivals that will last a long time."
The screen then turned on. "Enjoy."
The screen was black, with nothing on it. Then a single voice came out. "I'm Penny."
James had to hold himself from spitting his drink. Heavens knows Qrow will take a picture of it.
The villain side, Cinder the most alongside Watts, paid attention. The former recalling having that tin can killed, and the latter just interested in the machine in general. Having a good idea who made her.
The scene then showed a sunny field with Penny flying with a smile on her face. "A robot full of energy!" She then flew off faster into the sky. "In an extremely wonderful package."
She was then seen flying across the land then up, where a portal appeared.
"And in order to save my planet, I had to come to yours!"
"Dimension travel. Fascinating." Watts grinned.
Salem herself could see the possibilities.
Ozpin vowing to stop any of her plans that involved such a thing.
Penny was then seen screaming as she flew into the air...then green electricity came out of her. The seen then changed showing an outside battle arena being blown to hell, the snow spreading all over. Remnant is then seen from space, where it shows the entity of the Atlas losing power just like that.
Now Watts really wanted her, to see if Penny could do that. Ironwood just worried with everybody else looking at the scene in shock.
"What the hell was that Jimmy!?" Qrow asked.
"Wow." Jaune thought it was cool, but also worried. Could Penny do that?
"Impressive." Raven wondered if she could reprogram the little machine.
Penny was then seen looking around and frankly worried. "Where am I? What years is it? Is Ironwood general yet!?" She then ran off in green energy.
It then showed numerous councilmen inside a secure Atlas facility. Inside was Sleet of the Atlas council talking to his fellow leaders such as Camilla, Pietro, and a soon-to-be General James Ironwood.
"Twenty minutes ago, an energy surge knocked out power across the entire entity of Atlas and Mantle." The scene then showed Penny climbing down the window of a garage and then someone came in.
"Who's there?" James Ironwood said, raising a gun. Penny saw him and screamed with James doing the same.
"Haha!" Qrow laughed with James growling. Many others like Raven and Watts also liking the fear on Ironwood's face.
Even Glynda couldn't help but smirk.
"Why are you hiding in my garage?" Ironwood asked with Penny looking worried. The scene then shows Atlas soldiers with strange hover drones not seen at all.
"The entire military is after me!" Penny cried out in fear.
A truck is then seen where it opens up. There, climbing out is none other than...Arthur Watts.
Watts's eyebrows rose, surprised to see himself there. Yet it made sense. 'Only I could make such machines.' He smugly thought already about how to build those machines.
Cinder rolled her eyes seeing that smug look on Watts face. Ironwood was just planning on fail safes so Watts couldn't get over him. Damn! He'll also have to prepare for Watts making those machines as well.
He'll be ready though.
Watts was then walking down and spoke to Ironwood. "Morning my good man."
A second later his machine was aimed to kill Ironwood.
"Damn that's fast!" Jaune spoke at how quickly Watts was prepared to murder.
"I'm sure he'll be fine." Glynda spoke. Defending James.
"I'm going to give you five seconds, to tell me where the machine is." Watts threatened the young Ironwood who looked nervous. Penny who was hiding below didn't want that and decided to help.
"Wait!" She cried out and stepped up. "Don't hurt him!"
"Ahhh!" Watts said in surprise where Ironwood then used that chance to punch Watts in the face really hard. Knocking him out, the scene changing to show Penny giving Ironwood a high-five while saying, "Awsome."
"Awesome indeed." Ironwood smirked with Watts looking upset.
A truck was then seen driving with Penny inside yelling, Roadtrip! Wa-hoo!"
"This can't be happening to me." Ironwood lamented.
"Oh my gosh, stop the car right now!" Penny then said looking out the window. A billboard sign revealing a giant snowball. "The world's largest snowball! We have to see it!"
"No." Ironwood said. "This is not some fun family road trip-" He then saw Penny was gone. A second later she re-appeared with some fake snowballs.
"Ah, you were right." Penny said shocking Ironwood at how fast she went. Penny then took out a little paddle with some rubber string and a red ball attached to it and began hitting it. "It was lame. Gift shop was cool thought."
Ironwood just watched unsure what to say.
Next Year
"We need to lay low here for a while." Ironwood said as the two went to a hangout where teenagers went. Inside Penny wearing a hat and sunglasses spun around on her chair.
"So what are we going to do now?"
The two were then playing bullseye with Ironwood getting a perfect score. Penny just laughed as she decided to play, her eyes glowing.
"Let me show you how it's done." She then rapidly threw all the darts...only to fail as her usual accurate machine eyes had messed up with all the darts all over the place. The lady with darts on her hat and drinks staring open mouthed
"So should we get out of here?" Penny asked.
"Yeah. I think we do." Ironwood agreed.
"Well James. Seems you'll be having quite an adventure." Ozpin told his friend.
"Seems I will."
"I wonder just what plans I have." Watts grinned.
"As long as it makes them suffer, I don't care." Cinder just waved her hand to him.
New World
"You think you can get away from me?" Watts sinisterly said as he quickly found James and Penny's truck and sent a small drone to find them.
"Well that doesn't look like much?" Tyrian mocked.
"Aw. This one is cute." Penny said pointing at the drone. In an instant it began shooting a deadly laser to rip off the top of the car. "You got car insurance? Right?"
The roof then ripped with both screaming.
"Ha!" Watts laughed, surrounded by holograms.
"You were saying?" Watts said smugly.
Evil Genius.
"True enough." Ironwood glared at Watts who just sneered at him.
Ozpin himself now knows that this man was the one who hacked the Beacon CCT.
Salem herself is now glad she chose Watts. His expertise in machinery was key in defeating Atlas.
The scene then showed Penny with a glowing green aura. In front of her-Dr. Watts with a very dangerous flying machine. Opening up all over with powerful missiles ready to launch and aim with Watts saying one thing. "You are about to die." Then all the missiles launched with Watts laughing.
"Watts." Salem then told him.
"Already on it." He was going to enjoy making these machines. Cinder, Hazel, and Tyrian also looked satisfied as they knew that Watts would be making the vehicles for their usage.
Raven pondered on kidnapping a scientist while the 'Good Side' decided to be ready for Watts' next machines.
"Be alright Penny." James said.
Penny is seen flying going over a truck as it then exploded with her saying, "is that all you got!"
"No." Watts said inside his lab with a hologram of a vehicle seen in front of him. "But thank you for asking." A click later and the same truck was now shown.
Penny wasn't having any of it as she then smiled. "Here comes the boom!" She then shot a laser from her hands which caused the machine to explode and flip to the side.
James looked at her and asked, "How are you not dead?"
"I have no idea!" Penny laughed with a smile.
The next scene showed an explosion happening behind Penny. Then later she flew through the Vacuo desert with Watts following her at great speed while shooting at her. Penny dodging it as best she could.
Then Watts was seen asking, "Why would you throw your life away for this silly little machine?" He asked with many people including Ironwood watching. Penny herself putting on a bow and slapping her cheeks.
Ironwood only had one thing to say to him. "She's my friend."
Ironwood gave a small smile at that. Elsewhere Penny would also feel happy.
The next scene then showed Penny flying so fast that there were after images of her. The robotic girl making a mess of the room she and the soon-to-be-general were in. Then stopping with no clothes and loose hair covered in a towel. "Good times."
The scene changes again with numerous drones pointing their weapons at Ironwood, Penny, and Glynda at the roof.
Watts then put on goggles ready to end this little game.
"I'm there?" Glynda certainly didn't expect that.
"And hopefully you'll die." Cinder smirked at the headmistress.
Jaune glaring at Cinder with many doing the same.
Soon he was chasing Penny who was flying over a great long wall with his machine.
"This is my power." Penny began as she flew as fast as she could.
"That was an illegal left by the way!" Watts smirked as he turned his vessel around.
"And I'm using them to protect." Penny began glowing. "My." She then started flying even faster at greater speeds. "Friends." She then threw a ring that opened up a portal and ran through it. "Bet you didn't see that coming, huh?"
"Blah. Blah. Vlah." Watts was saying. A second ater, he was seen attacking and destroying a lot of Mantles buildings while chasing Penny. Both becoming two blurs while he attacked her with an electro Dust cannon.
"Let me go if you want to go round 2 with the machine!"
Game On
"Well that was fascinating." Watts said now knowing what to build.
"Like it'll help you." Ironwood declared. Not wanting to allow Watts to even gain a smidge of victory. Thinking of countermeasures against him and what's likely his new tech.
"I guess it was cool. Even if it's starring Jimmy." Qrow admits.
"I liked the way Penny moved." Jaune liked how fast Penny was. Like she's a hero.
"You said those two were rivals?" Glynda then asked Mayden, etting Watts and Ironwood's attention.
"Yep." Mayden said. "Penny and Watts in that world will have lots of epic rivalries and battles. Penny gets stronger and stronger while Watts becomes even more dangerous and builds machines that can destroy the world and take over. Heck, he's more dangerous than Salem."
Watts was satisfied now.
The 'Good Side' was now worried, but found peace that they were only dealing with their Watts and not this one. Salem narrows her eyes and decides to keep a closer eye on the doctor. It would appear he has more potential than she thought.
Looks like Remnant had to keep a watch on more devious technology.
"Alright then folks," Mayden then said. Time for one more little thing for you all to see." The screen then turned on with everyone watching to see what will come next.
A loud song could be heard, with an army of men who for some reason had the same hairstyle, all leading to some sort of citadel The army having armor and holding a staff.
Prepare yourselves.
"Can't wait for this." Qrow took a drink.
"That style seems...familiar." Glynda said.
"And awfully annoying." Hazel added in.
"Computor." Qrow shows up and speaks to a small little device. "Initiate unnecessary badass suit up."
It then shows Ruby Rose getting herself some spanking armor that matched her style with her scythe pulled out. Qrow also getting his own wicked armor like Ruby.
"Damn it's me!" Qrow said. He then put both hands in the air. "Hell yeah!"
"Oh no." Raven put a hand to her face.
"This can't end well." Ozpin agreed.
"Damn!" Both Jaune and Ironwood said.
The time for brand new Qrow and Ruby adventures is almost here.
The two were then facing an army of regular people who are controlled by the Grimm parasites on their faces.
"Hm." Salem had an idea of what new Grimm to make now.
Ozpin staring at her and vowing to stop that idea.
"All right Ruby, here's the plan." Qrow began and held the unconscious Grimm in his hand and held it to Ruby. "Put this back on your face."
"I-Im not putting that back on my face!" She told her uncle and shoved it away.
"Relax. It's unconscious." No it wasn't, as the two soon found out. The Grimm opened it's one good eye and began squirming it's little tentacles at Ruby who was taken aback.
Qrow dropped it and punched it in the face with an aura empowered fist. Knocking it out once more.
"Okay, now it's unconscious."
Many from Beacon looked at the irresponsible Qrow on screen, then their own Qrow.
"What?" Qrow asked who was drinking from a flask.
No words needed to be said.
Boys are back in town. Boys are back in town.
It then showed a drunk Qrow with Harbinger which he used to shoot at the armored Grimm firing an actual weapon from Atlas. The drunk uncle drank some kind of formula. He threw the formula container away and then revealed three more arms each with a single gun and began firing.
"What the hell!" Raven said not sure what she was seeing.
"That's not right." Hazel deadpanned.
"I have to admit, those Grimm seemed smart." Cinder said, commenting on the Grimm that knew how to operate weapons.
The scene then showed Ruby and Qrow on a custom made Bullhead with them being attacked by people controlled by the earlier parasite Grimm.
"I hate this! I hate all of this!" Ruby shouted.
"Yeah, yeah." Qrow said sarcastically. Turning on the window wipers. "Keep that feedback coming Ruby. It can only help."
Boys are back in town! Boys are back in town!
Qrow is then seen fighting a giant Grimm Beowolf in the snowy planes of Atlas barehanded.
Later on he is then seen zapping Ruby with something enveloping her in pink energy as rose petals fly out of her as Ruby screams.
"What!" Okay. Now Qrow was wondering just what was wrong with this version of him. If only he knew.
Then we see Qrow and Ruby getting off their little Bullhead. Qrow saying, "If anything goes wrong, which it won't, jump into the same vat of acid I jump into."
"Okay." Ruby said before realizing what she just heard. "W-wait, what?"
"Oh. This Qrow seems to be insane. I love it!" Tyrian laughed.
"Wow. Just wow." Raven said knowing her brother was irresponsible, but not by this much. Even Qrow was looking shocked by what was wrong with him.
Guess who just got back today!
In the Bullhead a switch happen and Ruby was then upside down, shooting the Grimm Parasites with the city of Mantle below now on fire.
The real life boys are a give away.
Zwei was in armor fighting against a Grimm wolf with both battling it out.
Then it shows Yang who was surrounded by the Grimm Parasites looking okay. She then points at something and said, "Seize them."
Qrow and Ruby are then surrounded in their wicked armor with guns pointed at them. The two instantly give up.
Qrow then seen opening the garage to their home where Atlas troops are then driving up to their lawn.
Tai was screaming as he was being flung into some kind of tube.
Then a naked Ruby with her cloak covering her essentials from a bunch of Qrows in officer uniforms.
"What the hell!" Qrow said with Jaune covering his eyes.
"I did not need to see that." Watts muttered.
"Oh dear." Glynda shook her head not sure why Miss Rose was naked.
"This is one strange world." Ozpin said.
"Oh yeah." Lionheart whispered.
It then showed Yang battling Emerald with the two wielding their respective weapons.
A moment later it shows Qrow and Ruby looking very worried as an angry Ironwood came in. Shirtless showing off his very dense and hard cybernetic arm.
"We surrender! We're not fighting." Qrow said, only for the answer to be interrupted as Ironwood punched him in the face, breaking his aura and giving him a black eye. Ruby didn't fare any better as he then kicked her in the gut and sent her hitting the vessel's controls with Ruby yelling, "Ow!"
Qrow then kicked in the face.
"Now that was good entertainment!" Tyrian laughed.
"Ignoring Ruby...I liked it." Ironwood smirked with Qrow growling.
This is what you have been waiting for.
It then shows Qrow and Ruby in a place full of acid. Qrow grabbing Ruby and pulling her as the two then fell into the green liquid with a splash.
"I have a life too! I have dreams!" Tai then said to his family, Qrow, Yang, and Ruby. Everyone then staring at him.
"And how's summer." Yang asked with everyone ignoring Tai.
New Qrow and Ruby. Starting Sunday May 3rd. At eleven thirty.
The voice said as it showed Grimm tentacles fusing one half of Qrow and another half of Ruby together.
Later it then shows the armored Ruby and Qrow killing the Grimm Parasites without mercy. The bodies of the people dead with the Grimm vanishing.
"Shouldn't we be finding Yang?" Ruby then asked as she sliced a person in half.
"Oh. Right. Geez, sorry." Qrow said while Ruby then killed another controlled person from behind by stabbing it in the face. Then slicing apart two more. "I got caught up again. Monty, do I need to take more medications or am I taking too many medications?"
The scene ends.
"Okay. That was-" Qrow began only to get interrupted.
"Amazing!" Tyrian whooped at the carnage scene.
"Damn. You just killed a lot of innocent people." Lionheart said.
"And Miss Rose as well." Ozpin says.
"Hmph. At least they seem more useful than you and Summer's brat." Raven said, liking their ability to kill without hesitation. Now those two were strong, if not just a bit weird.
"Of course you would." Glynda glared at her.
"Guess Ruby isn't so innocent here." Cinder smirked.
"That's a shame." Ironwood said while trying to forget the carnage.
"Glad you liked it." Mayden said with a smirk in his tone. "In that case, let's move on to the next!" The screen turned on once more.
And we finish yet another one. Until Next Time.
