Chapter 6

"Get to your places, we are leaving now!" said a voice over an intercom system that echoed around the entire facility. Everyone looked at each other and nodded, getting ready for this train started moving towards the tunnels.

"Well, it sounds like they're going somewhere, they're not even covering their tracks!"

Everyone groaned slightly, but quickly shook it off.

"We need backup. Let me call Jaune." Ruby pulled out her scroll and looked, "Low Signal", she said to the rest of the group, "I can't get through!"

"Oh here, use mine" Steve said as he handed his scroll over to Ruby," I made some modifications to send text out while I'm underground. Remind me to update that on your scrolls later…"

Everyone nodded as Ruby quickly sent a message out to Jaune asking for backup and alerting him of the situation.

"So, what do we do now?" Asked Weiss, a determined look on her face, looking down the tunnel.

"I believe we only have one option..." Oobleck said, hauling his thermos bazooka onto his shoulder in preparation.

"We're stopping that train!" Ruby said, she handed back the scroll to Steve and he put it away, for some reason it completely disappeared from his person.

A White Fang member standing on the train hears a noise and looks outside the train to see rose petals behind him. He brings out a communication device trying to signal his boss, "I think they're on the –" and he was cut off as Oobleck brought the thermos down on his head, a smirk present on his face.

Team RWBY and Dr. Oobleck all jump on top of the train, on the final car as it rushes down the side of the track. They are on the last car on the while the train is traveling at a relatively quick speed.

"Where did Steve go?" Blake asked, looking around the roof, as they all hopped on without him.

"As future huntresses, you should always be aware of your surroundings!" Dr. Oobleck proclaimed and pointed with his thermos to the track parallel to the one with the train.

Team RWBY's eyes bugged out at the site. "Okay, that shouldn't even be legal" exclaimed Yang as she saw the site.

Steve was in a minecart, with another minecart pulling him, slowly outpacing their train. He had two minecarts on the track, one with a furnace in the front, and now that Yang could think about it she could feel the heat radiating from the furnace itself, and it was at least a couple of meters.

"Hurry, children! We must get to the front and stop this train!" Yelled Oobleck as he pointed his thermos forward.

"WHAT?!" Yelled Steve, putting his hand to his ear straining to hear what Dr. Oobleck was saying.

"WE NEED TO GET TO THE FRONT OF THIS TRAIN!" Yelled Oobleck in an even louder voice, hoping to convey this to Steve. Weiss was looking down a small access hatch in the train.

"I DIDN'T HEAR YOU BUT I'LL TRY AND STOP THIS TRAIN!" Yelled Steve, as he was soon outpacing their train carriage, and slowly gaining on the lead car.

"Err... Professor?" Weiss asked, hoping to gain his attention before he lost it again.

Team RWBY soon discovered the plot to blow holes in the tunnel to allow Grimm to flood through the openings, packs of hostile, and ruthless creatures.

"He's leading Grimm to the city!" Yelled Dr. Oobleck as he and team RWBY were fighting off the White Fang grunts.

"What?" Weiss looked confused as she danced around some of the White Fang combatants trying to take her down.

"It's the cars! They detach and explode, creating openings for the Grimm!" Oobleck yelled while trying to come up with a plan to stop them.

"That's insane!" Blake said as she herself regrouped with the rest of Team RWBY.

"We have to hurry!" Dr. Oobleck proclaimed as he pointed down into the train carriages, he looked at Weiss, Yang, and Blake. "You three, go below and try to stop those bombs!"

"What about us?" Ruby asked as the other three were getting ready to jump down into the carriage.

"We're going to stop this train." Dr. Oobleck said, as he looked forward toward the rest of the White Fang, coupled with some mechanical armor that was advancing toward them.

"Yeah, I know. I said that earlier." Ruby said as she looked forward, but before she could send the rest of her team down into her carriages, she noticed something.

"Wait, where did all of those Grimm noises go?" she asked looking around, the rest of Team RWBY looking around along with Dr. Oobleck.

Weiss found the reason first, her mouth dropped slightly, she noticed that Steve was trailing a little slower behind them, with what looked like a stick with a star on the end of it. He swung it and an absolutely solid wall appeared behind him, stopping the Grimm in their tracks.

Steve yelled at them quickly, "IT'S DOUBLE COMPRESSED COBBLESTONE! I TESTED IT AGAINST ALL THE GRIMM I ENCOUNTERED, THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH NOW!" He then took the coal out of the furnace and replaced it with something else that burns hotter, and the familiar heat returned as Steve surged forward to stop the train.

"Well…" Dr. Oobleck said quickly, "That solves one problem. We still need to stop this train though, so let us continue with our separate operations."

Team WBY encountered several problems in the train carriage, but soon prevailed and got to the back of the train roof after their own conflicts while in the train.

"Steve is running out of track! He's going to crash!" Blake yelled as she pointed toward him. The rest of team RWBY looked down and their eyes soon widened, as he was placing track down before the cart ran over it, at a rapid pace. "Guess that solves his problem…" She looked up and saw a giant concrete barrier up ahead. "What do we do?!"

Ruby and Weiss smiled at each other, and then Weiss formed an ice shield to protect her teammates and braced themselves for the impending crash.

There was a huge crash and Team RWBY woke up in the middle of the Vale, soon looks of horror appear on their faces on the realization of this plan.

Steve soon appeared out of the rubble, a little dazed, "Well, I had a feeling we might end up here in the downtown area." He said, straightening his neck slightly cracked a little. "Luckily, I enforced that one wall so no Grimm could get through, right?" He said as he sensibly chuckled. Team RWBY relaxed slightly as they heard that news.

Team CVFL dropped from the sky, appearing combat ready, along with many different atlas soldiers, Professor Port, Neptune, Sun, Team JNPR, Emerald, and Mercury.

"False alarm!" Ruby said as she scratched the back of her head in exacerbation. Coco Adel looked over her sunglasses, "Everything is under control!"

"Is that so?" asked Professor Port, and looked toward Dr. Oobleck, who nodded.

"Yeah, we have Steve to thank for stopping the Grimm invasion!" Yang exclaimed, wrapping his head around her arm, attempting to give him a noogie, but that was difficult since he was taller than her and wore a diamond helmet.

The ground soon repaired itself as Professor Goodwitch appeared in the courtyard.

"Well, the crisis has been averted, I'll be on my way, good luck everyone!" Steve said as he pulled his pickaxe and started chipping away at the ground.

"Wait!" The Atlas soldiers shouted, but before they could stop him, Steve disappeared into a three-meter-deep hole and replaced the courtyard concrete.

The silence was deafening, "Is that normal?" asked one of the Atlas soldiers, genuinely curious about this occurrence.

"Yeah… pretty much." Said Sun, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Team CFVL, Dr. Oobleck and Professor Port, as Glynda nodded in agreement.

Everyone else looked in a state of bafflement. Emerald and Mercury were looking at the ground in disbelief, slightly worried about what was to come.

"Damn that bastard…" mumbled Mercury as everyone started disbanding and heading back to their homes.

-Time Skip-

A small group of people all met on the roof, one, a beautiful black-haired woman in heels and a sheer red dress. The other two Emerald and Mercury.

"What happened! If anything, I would call this a disaster! NOT ONE SINGLE GRIMM ENTERTED VALE!" She exclaimed, her eyes started to catch on fire, but she quickly calmed down. "How were they stopped?"

"There was some guy with them, he was wearing this crystal armor, apparently he stopped the invasion in one swoop." Mercury said, slightly alarmed at his superiors behavior.

"We don't even know where he came from, he just appeared and apparently saved the day! It was like some Deus ex Machina…" Emerald trailed off.

"A lot of Faunus didn't make it out the tunnels. You still think the White Fang's gonna listen to us now?" Mercury asked, thinking of all the manpower they just potentially lost. There was no way those soldiers made it out of those tunnels if they were blocked in with Grimm or in custody of Atlas' military.

"No, but they'll listen to me." Adam, a bull faunus with a sinister aura, appeared looking into the courtyard of Vale, and soon turned toward the silhouette of Beacon in the distance.

Hi Everyone, had some extra time to make this small chapter. I will see if I can write more, but no promises unfortunately. Hope everyone stays safe and if you're in a quarantine zone, stay indoors! It will get worse before it gets better, but if there is one thing, I've learned its that humanity finds ways to prevail in troublesome times. Hope everyone remains healthy! Thanks for all the support!
