(Opening end)

UMPR

Percy dodged as Meta sent a fist forwards his face and attempted to cut the armor but the Meta stopped the swing with his other hand. He tried to go for a cook but noticed a shadow appear above him and moved back instead as two chakrams cut into the ground where he had been standing a moment ago. He looked to see Roxas in the air and landing onto the ground picking up the two chakrams and dashing towards him.

Roxas began attacking relentlessly close up but the Meta blocked and deflected every single slash meant for him. The blonde spun to deliver a round house kick but Meta caught it in the palm of one of his hands. Not done yet Roxas lifted off his other leg and spun attempting to kick the white armored juggernaut in the cheek with his free foot. The Meta moved his head back slightly avoiding the kick.

He looked up just in time to see Naruto lunge towards him swinging his blade at him. He was forced to release Roxas who landed in his back but recovered quickly. Naruto charged forward and swung his sword again but The Meta dodged once again, Naruto stabbed forward but the Meta jumped into the air and slammed onto the blade like a counter balance lifting Naruto into the air. The Meta looked ready to attack but the whiskered teen had other plans. He shot the gun launching himself away. He back flipped in the air and landed on his feet with the gunblade held in front of him.

He aimed the blade behind him and launched himself forward and swung the blade around to attack the Meta who ducked under the swing and attempted to punch Naruto in the chest but Naruto shot off another blast sending him sliding to the right. He landed and leapt into the air and held the gun above his head and shot off another shot sending him rocketing towards the Meta.

The white armored juggernaut leapt out of the way as Naruto came crashing down. Percy and Roxas looked on and watched the way their leader moved. It was familiar.

In fact, it looked a lot like…

UMPR

Ruby looked through her scope at the fight with the mysterious white soldier that seemed to be the strongest one on the field.

"He's using my style," She muttered in shock.

It wasn't exact and it was way more destructive in the attacks. The control was wild and it was obvious he had never used it before but Ruby could tell that those moves were based on her attacks.

UMPR

'I'll admit Red's move is extremely handy,' Naruto thought. For him personally he wouldn't incorporate it into his style but he saw the appeal. It was extremely handy for attacking and dodging.

'But for now,' He continued. They were perfect. The Meta attempted to attack once again but Percy and Roxas once again rejoined the fray.

Percy shot off another barrage of debris. The Meta blocked the debris but didn't see Roxas following after the debris to attack him.

Roxas attempted a combo but The Meta held his ground and began sending puches and kicks of his own that were slowly beginning to overwhelm Roxas. Percy came to the rescue from above and cut down forcing the Meta back but he stepped forward and thrusted a fist towards Percy who blocked it with his free hand.

Percy attempted another slash but the Meta bent his upper body back to dodged the attack. He looked up to See Naruto right above him.

"Gotcha," Naruto muttered. He took a shot and the Meta couldn't dodge the blast. His body was slammed into the ground.

Naruto landed next to Percy and the two looked into the crater.

"Think we got him?" Percy asked. There was a rustle in the crater. Naruto and Percy could see the Meta getting up.

"Nope," Naruto answered.

UMPR

"My they sure are strong," Sigma said as she eyed the three mysterious attackers. "They're actually managing to give my Meta a hard time,"

She looked at the two standing above them through the visor like the Meta was.

"But," She continued as a smirk came onto her face. "You should be just about warmed up right,"

The response was a deep growl.

UMPR

Ruby watched the chaos on the ground through her scope with mild frustration.

She saw Pyrrha use the staff to block an attack from one of the soldiers before kicking them back. Feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand up the red head amazon moved the staff and her arms behind her catching the assailant by the neck before flipping them over her and onto their head. She righted herself and spun her staff around taking out the assailants that began rushing her. One leapt into the air from behind but Ruby stopped that with a shot to the chest.

Nearby she saw Blake, and one of the armored soldiers working together with Blake running through the attackers and dealing damage a plethora albeit small hits. This in turn disorganized them and their attacks which the armored gunner would take advantage of by aiming at the heads of the enemy incapacitating most of them with his hits. As Ruby saw him she noticed that he was using four guns at once.

…That was awesome.

Nora and Yang were doing just fine from the looks of it. They had been surrounded by a multitude of AK knights.

Not the best match for the bots at all.

Nora and Yang used their respective weapons and smashed the knights that came near them. She saw Nora throw the maces around by using them to counter balance each other. Whenever she sent one out she would use the other to pull it back so she could throw the other one which would preceded to destroy two or three more bots. Yang was just blatantly not even trying to use her weapon in a proper stance at all. She swung the halberd around without a care in the world. She swung it in a wide arc taking out at least 6 bots before bringing it over her head and slamming it into the ground taking out even more.

Yeah they were definitely fine.

She saw along with one of the guys she had shot work with the other two armored guys. From the looks of it, it was the one she had shot in the butt.

For some reason she had this sense of foreboding. Like she was going to pay for that later.

The red marked fighter used the sai and chain in tandem by pulling soldiers towards them and then knock them out or stab through the head of it was an AK unit. Meanwhile one of the armored ones who she deduced was Grif due to seeing the axe was shooting out grenades of knocking soldiers away. The grenades seemed to create steam which blinded the goons. It didn't however blind the other amored person who carried a sword. (Wait was it glowing! She had to get her hands on it!) They ran into the fog and Ruby could see the blade moving around wildly but something told her they were hitting their mark.

When the fog cleared the only one standing was Tucker and a few soldiers who looked way worse than they had before the fog blinded them.

She turned to one of the more bizarre fights going on.

Caboose/Not Caboose was ramming through the soldiers with shoulder charges and sending out well times kicks and punches when needed but they seemed weirdly forced. And watching his back was some strange creature that had taken too the skies picking the goons off and if they started shooting at it Caboose/Not Caboose would ram thought them to get the attention back on him.

She saw Penny work with some guy in a ponytail as they took on soldiers. Penny would take them out with her swords and prevent them from getting close and if they did the pony tail guy was there to bring them down,

She also saw a woman who looked a lot like Weiss and another armored person duking it out. Well she tried too. There were times that they would move faster than she could keep up op with on her scope. She was positive she could track the with her own scope or her own eyes but this wasn't Crescent Rose she was shooting with. And there were more important things going on. The only thing she couldn't make sense of was the tiny black blur that moved through the soldiers disorienting them which would then be taken advantage of by one of her friends.

Whatever it was it was there to help though so she wasn't complaining.

She still couldn't help the frustration growing.

She wanted to be down there helping her them. But all she could do was sit a distance away taking pot shots.

It was frustrating to no end.

"I know how you feel,"

She shifter her head momentarily before looking back through the scope. Ren had been the one to speak.

"At least you can actually supply more support than I can," He said. "All I have are a couple fans,"

"Still doesn't meant it isn't frustrating. She saw Blake take a clean hit and fired a shot only for it to miss. "I missed!" She grounded out. She saw another one and took another shot and missed once again. "Damnit!" She growled. She was a sniper! She shouldn't miss. She couldn't miss! Not when they needed her most!

The she felt a hand on her shoulder and suddenly she felt calm. Her frustration was gone in fact any negative thoughts she had were gone. Hell even Naruto seemed like an alright guy at the moment.

Than the strange feeling along with the hand was gone. She turned to look up at Ren.

"It'll be alright," He said with a calm smile.

Ruby looked at him but slowly gained a smile of her own. He was right. Sure she couldn't be down there on the frontlines but damned if she didn't give great support!

She looked back into her scope and aimed at one of the soldiers that were attempting to hit Pyrrha. She fired. The bullet knocked the attacker back.

Bullseye.

UMPR

Percy fired another round of debris but to his shock The Meta ran right through it instead of blocking like he did before. He charged at Percy and thrusted a fist forward and Percy could barely dodge it. He wasn't fast enough to stop the backward roundhouse kick sent to his side sending him away.

Roxas threw three chakrams but the Meta caught them much to Roxas's shock. With a flick he sent them back even faster than Roxas had been throwing them. Roxas managed to deflect two but he had to bend backwards to dodge the last one. The proved to be a mistake. Faster than he could believe the Meta was next to him. The Meta grabbed him by the face and lifted him into the air before slamming him down into the ground.

The Meta lifted Roxas back up to slam him into the ground again but Naruto was upon him. He swung the blade but the Meta caught it between his hands. Using the momentum, he flung Naruto and the blade around but Naruto fired of another bullet from point blank before the Meta released the gunblade.

Naruto landed and got ready to attack again but The Meta beat him to it. He managed ti bring his sword up in time to block but it didn't do much good. He was sent flying from the force of the punch.

"Ok what the hell?" Naruto growled.

"He was not kicking our asses this bad a minute ago," Percy grunted as he stood next to the blond.

"Is he getting stronger as we fight?" Roxas asked having gotten out of the crater the Meta created with his body.

"Looks that way," Naruto muttered. He got ready to saw something else but they were forced to separate as the Meta charged at them.

He went for Naruto first. Naruto brought the gunblade down but the Meta kicked it away and then did a midair spin to kick Naruto in the face. Before Naruto could recover The Meta grabbed him by the front of his shirt and lifted him and swung him to the ground. Naruto coughed out in pain and he swore he could taste iron.

The Meta got ready to slam his foot in his chest but Percy lunged for him and began attacking him but to his shock the Meta was blocking his attacks with one hand. Having enough being on the defensive the Meta did a feint making it look like Percy had managed to stab him in the chest but Percy realized too late. He grabbed Percy's wrist and pulled him into a knee to the stomach knocking the breath out of him.

He received an elbow to the back of the head but it didn't do as much damage as it would have thanks to the helmet. The Meta looked ready to continue but Roxas came to the rescue. He tried to catch the Meta from behind but the Meta ducked in time to avoid the attack. He pushed an elbow back hitting Roxas in the chest plate causing him to stumble. Not letting up he grabbed Percy once again and threw him at Roxas causing the two to collide painfully.

Taking that as an opportunity Naruto attempted to roll away from the Meta. Unfortunately, it seemed the white armored juggernaut hadn't forgotten about him. Naruto managed to get in a kneeling position and had enough time to look up before he was punted in the head sending him flying away and into a crate.

'Damnit he is getting stronger,' Naruto thought in frustration. And the injuries he was getting were beginning to take its toll. 'Should I use 3,' Logically it would be fine. No one else was around and his clothing concealed his entire body so it's not like anyone would see him recover.

He couldn't come to a decision yet as the Meta made a beeline for him.

'Why does he keep coming for me first!' Naruto thought angrily as he leapt out of the way of the charging soldier. He and aimed his gun and launched himself toward Percy and Roxas who had gotten up.

"Ok it's official" Roxas groaned. "He's definitely getting stronger,"

"That's just bullshit," Percy muttered.

"Hax," Was all Naruto uttered.

"Any suggestions?" Percy asked.

"Well either we make attack him again and hope for a different result," Naruto began. Roxas snorted at the suggestion. "Or we power up in some way," Roxas looked ready to say something but paused as a stray thought came across.

"That might work," Roxas said. "Though I don't know if I can activate it,"

"How long will it take for you to figure it out," Naruto asked.

"I don't know," Roxas said. "That's why it's risky," He continued.

"Then we'll worry about it later," Naruto said jerking his head. The Meta was coming at them. Percy reacted first by launching another volley of debris but like last time the Meta simply ran through it. Naruto aimed his gunblade and fired shot after shot but nothing seemed to be working to deter the juggernaut.

"Watch my back!" Naruto shouted before he ran forward to meet the Meta head on.

He swung the blade knowing that it wouldn't do any good. The Meta grabbed it just like he predicted. As soon as the Meta turned to fling the blade Naruto released it and cocked a fist back to punch him in the side of his head since he was mid throw. But to his surprise the Meta moved his head in time t dodge the oncoming fist. Continuing the momentum, he released the gunblade and continued the spin and sent a left hook to Naruto's face. It would have been devastating had it not been for Roxas throwing a chakram at the Meta's wrist causing it to miss Naruto's head by a hair. Taking a chance Naruto grabbed the offending arm and flipped the Meta of his shoulder to slam him into the ground.

The Meta was ready however as he managed to land on his feet and used Naruto's momentum against him by lifting him with little effort and slammed him into the ground instead.

Percy came in to try and force the Meta away with a flurry of hacks and slashes but the Meta dodged them easily. Taking a chance Percy lifted his gauntlet hand and fired off another volley of debris at near point blank causing the meta to stumble but he recovered quickly and grabbed the offending appendage and began trying to crush it.

'Oh no you don't!' Percy thought.

The Meta tried to add more pressure but to his amazement Percy looked completely unaffected. He soon realized he wasn't hurting Percy at all.

"Sorry try again," The green eyed teen mocked as the two stood at a stalemate of sorts. Percy raised his sword and attempted to slash down but like the other arm it had been caught. The stalemate continued. While the Meta was stronger and able to overpower Percy, the green eyed teen was able to withstand the pressure with ease for some reason.

Deciding to end it the Meta lifted the young huntsman in the air and tossed him over him. Percy attempted to knock the helmet off but the Meta moved out of the way quickly.

Percy looked on at the movement. That dodge hadn't been efficient like the other ones were.

It had been desperate.

He got ready to tell his teammates but was halted when his back hit a crate knocking the breath out of him.

The Meta eyes him but turned his attention back to Naruto who was still recovering from the last hit.

He would die first.

UMPR

The fox hopped from yet another soldier and onto a crate. It observed it's surrounding. Chaos was the best turn to describe the situation. The Negative emotion in the air were intoxicating to the small grimm. As it continued looking at the battlefield its eyes landed on the Meta that was making its way to a body.

It was its alphas body.

That would not stand.

The for looked at the downed alpha and bared its teeth.

"YIP!"

UMPR

Naruto watched as the Meta came towards him in slow motion. From the way he was moving he guessed he was going to try and end him.

The Meta reached him moments later and raised its foot slowly.

Then he heard it.

"YIP!"

And then he felt it. He felt the energy course through his body. He the pain leave and everything.

Oh he was loving this!

The Meta brought down the foot but he caught it with one hand and didn't cave under the weight. Slowly he began getting up overpowering the Meta.

"2!" He growled out giving him the extra strength to knock the juggernaut away.

Naruto felt the adrenaline run through his system along with something else. He didn't know what it was but it felt right!

He had no idea where this power boost was coming from but damned if he wasn't going to use it!

UMPR

Carolina back flipped as Winter shot an ice spike from under her.

UMPR

Sigma analyzed the opponent the Meta was fighting. She didn't know what had happened but it seemed like one of them had gained a second wind. No second wind wasn't enough. Somehow they were keeping up with her Meta.

Granted the Meta was still lacking in power due to being a sleep for long so the majority of his fighting was muscle memory but to keep up was feet in itself. There weren't many that could.

There was one other conclusion she had come too from watching the fight.

Caboose new these three. He probably knew all of the masked assailants. She could have found out but Epsilon had been smart. He had locked down on all of Cabooses memory since she had been put to sleep by her siblings. And the only way to get to them was too take him out of his cage and as the Meta was now she didn't know if she could stop the assault. Even now she could feel him fighting back against his restraints.

And she could tell that her Meta was holding back. It was a subconscious thing but she knew that he was pulling his punches.

So on top of not being fully rejuvenated he was still holding back.

Not a good combination especially in her condition.

She was thankful none of her other siblings were near her. If any of them had entered into The Meta then they would easily overpower her.

She hated being asleep for so long. It left her so vulnerable.

She didn't like being vulnerable.

UMPR

Naruto blocked another hit from the Meta. Before kicking him back with enough force to actually send him skidding backwards. Percy zipped past him and began slashing at the Meta. The Meta managed to dodge the attacks but his moves were being repelled as well by Percy's gauntlet. Instead of launching out a large volley all at once like he had been he used it like a makeshift pistol only firing in small but powerful doses. While these attacks weren't devastating to the Meta they were enough to stop his attacks.

Percy stabbed forward but the Meta moved to deflect it. He realized to late it was a feint at Percy suddenly moved back while Roxas ran forward.

Roxas ducked down to avoid the wild swing from the Meta and began slashing away with the chakrams at the chest armor before kicking him before leaping back.

The three teammates stood next to each other as the Meta eyed them critically. It was no longer charging at them like it had been. He was analyzing them.

Damnit he was still getting smarter.

"We can't keep doing this," Percy grunted.

"He's right we need to end this," Roxas agreed. "We've been at this for a while and we are still outnumbered,"

"Doesn't help that he's getting stronger again," Percy pointed out. "And something tells me it's just going to keep happening,"

Naruto listened to his teammates.

They were right.

This needed to end and soon.

But the problem was that even if they rendered the Meta unconscious there was no guarantee he would wake up as Caboose.

"Grif," Naruto said speaking into the com

"Little busy at the moment," Grif said and Naruto could hear an explosion.

"How do we bring Caboose back?" He asked.

"What?!"

"You heard me!" Naruto looked up and saw that the Meta was getting ready to attack. He eyed Percy and Roxas who nodded at the silent order and the two ran forward to meet the Meta head on. "We're going to knock him out,"

"You really think you can do it?" Grif asked mockingly

"Yes," Naruto said bluntly. "But we have no guarantee Caboose will wake up from that," He continued. "And I'm positive you have a contingency for this scenario,"

"Ok even if you do then you'd need one of us with you," Grid explained.

"Why?" Naruto asked. He saw Roxas duck under another blow and attempt the sweep the Meta's feet but the Meta jumped over the leg sweep easily.

"We can send one of our AI in and Get Church back," Grif explained. "We get Church back, we get Caboose back," He finished. Percy shot out a large amount of debris at the Meta's head blinding him allowing him and Roxas to get in multiple hits.

"Alright send one of you guys over and we'll do this," Naruto said.

"Yeah and I know exactly who too send,"

UMPR

"Who were you talking too?" Tucker asked. Right he, Donut, and Carolina, weren't on the same frequency as the others.

"One of the mercs," He answered simply. "They wanted to know about their payment,"

"Assholes," Tucker said as he cut another goon down and shot at three more approaching.

"Yeah," Grif agreed. "But I got a plan that may end all this," He said.

"What do you have in mind?" Tucker asked as he punted a soldier who was trying ti get up in the head.

"Not much," Grif said as he swung his axe over his shoulder and shot off another grenade taking out a large group behind him.

"Just need to talk to a couple of people,"

UMPR

Carolina blocked yet another attack before firing off two gale crystals. As soon as they activated she tossed a burn crystal which created a scorch effect that forced Winter to back up.

"Yo Carolina!" A voice greeted in her com.

"Not now Grif!" Carolina scowled as she eyed the giant Ursa Winter was sending her way. "Kinda busy!" She ranted as she jumped into the air and wrapped her legs around the blue and white beasts neck and began unloading her clips into its throat before sending in a thunder crystal and jumping away.

The summoned Ursa was electrocuted from the inside killing it instantly.

"Yeah I get that but I gotta plan to wake Caboose up,"

Now that was a surprise.

"You do?" Carolina asked skeptically as she ducked under a swipe from Winters longer sword. She held up her other gun blocking the attempted stab from the short sword.

"Yeah all I need is one thing from you," He said before going into the rest of his explanation.

UMPR

Jaune sent another gut punch before grabbing the goon and throwing him into three other approaching ones.

He ducked under an attack and sent uppercut at the offending assailant before his foot shot out from behind him kicking another one in the sternum.

This was awesome. He was taking these guys on easily and multiple ones at that! Right now he felt nearly unstoppable.

He almost didn't feel completely useless in a fight.

Almost.

"Jaune to your left," Sheila said. Suddenly his arm rocketed out punching another attacker in the throat. Suddenly he felt his body move to perform a round house taking out two more goons.

It was just too bad that his reaction time was mostly due to the suit that Sheila was controlling.

Maybe he could ask for a similar suit.

"Sheila you there!" A voice called into his com.

"Grif?" Juane asked as he tossed another goon up for the chimera to snatch and fly off with. Where he was taking them, he had no idea.

"Oh hey Jaune," Grif said nonchalantly. Jaune heard somebody shout in the background before a distinctive bang that sounded like the explosion he could hear in his other ear but much louder.

"Was that you just now?" Jaune asked as he hammer slammed another goon over the head before blocking one who had gotten close and head butting them. "Never mind what do you need,"

"Yeah we got a plan to take out The Meta and get Caboose back," Grif said simply.

"Really!" Jaune cheered. He felt his body twist without his permission to dodge a goon who tried to tackle him. Before they got far the suit reached out and grabbed them by the neck of their shirt and pulled hard before slamming them into the ground.

"Yeah we just need one thing from you?"

"What do ya need," He asked seriously. If he could help in any way to save Cabose he would be glad too.

Grif told him the plan.

UMPR

Ruby looked through the scope as she took out another soldier. She got up and her and Ren made their way to another location. They had been spotted twice now and Ruby wasn't keen on a third time.

As they hopped to the next roof she looked on at the warzone. There were unconscious goons and soldiers everywhere. Atlesian Knights new and old completely destroyed. Giant ice spikes were everywhere along with shards with some that had been destroyed. And more goons seemed to just pile out of the warehouse. And Ruby had a hunch that eventually the Atlesian military would call in reinforcements.

And she only had so many clips. And unfortunately here friends weren't unstoppable they were outnumbered in every way. Eventually they would get tired.

Not to mention however long Naruto and his group had been here fighting them off.

This needed to end and soon.

She found a spot and hunkered down. She scanned the battlefield through her scope to find where her help was needed. She looked around and her eyes came onto Naruto who was jumping around frantically.

Was he looking for her?

She looked at him and seemed to be repeating the same motions over and over. He would jump into the air then point at the white armored guy Percy and Roxas were fighting. He motioned towards the hand she had shot (Giggle) earlier.

Then he would point over to the rest of the battlefield and then make an X with his hands and shake his head. Then he would point back the white armored soldier. Then he would repeat this entire process over and over.

Ruby got the message.

Shoot the guy in white, And only the guy in white.

Ruby didn't know why but something told her to go along with it.

She changed her target and locked on.

She fired.

UMPR

"I'm getting tired of doing this," Naruto muttered. As he motioned towards his hand looking at all the warehouses near them. He had no idea which one Ruby was on so he could only hope she would see this soon.

"Watch out!"

Naruto turned around just in time to see the Meta jump into the air in an attempt to land on him. The blue eyed fighter leapt out of the way and lunged forward with his gunblade releasing it form the sheath on his back. He stabbed forward but the Meta was ready and blocked the attack easily. Naruto gritted his teeth.

Whatever sensation that had given him his second wind was disappearing. He could feel it.

They needed to end this soon.

The Meta attempted to kick him but before he could something stopped him. An invisible force hit him in the chest plate and pushed him backwards. Naruto looked on in surprise before he smiled.

Ruby had seen him.

"I can't believe she actually understood that," Percy muttered as he stood next to Naruto.

"I can't believe you let her see you do that?" Roxas said landing on the other side of Naruto. "She's not gonna let you live that down.

"Whatever," Naruto muttered. "I'll just show her the video of Weiss singing,"

"Yeah that'll distract them," Roxas agreed.

"Grif we're ready," Percy said into the com.

"On it!" Grif answered.

UMPR

"Jaune they're ready!" Grif shouted speaking into Jaunes helmet.

"Got it!" Jaune answered as Sheila moved his body to throw a goon and then smash the head of an AK 130. "I'm buy the east side of the warehouse wear are they?"

"Damnit you're the farthest one away from them!" Grif growled. "There on the west by the other warehouses.

"Damn," Jaune agreed. Between him and them was the entire battlefield.

"Then I'll have too-NO!" Grif began only to be interrupted. "I'll do it!"

"Are you sure,"

Jaune thought about all the times he had interacted with Caboose. From there first meeting too him trying to understand what he was saying to being crushed by him in the dogpile in the hospital.

He thought about how useless he always felt realizing he was the weakest one amongst his friends.

Not this time.

He wouldn't be the burden.

He would be the knight.

"I'm sure," Jauen said with conviction.

"Alright than get moving!" Grif said. "You know what to do!"

"Right!" Jaune shouted then he sprinted towards his target.

UMPR

Carolina saw

UMPR

"He's on the way!" Grif told Naruto and his team. "He's on the other side of the field though so it may take a while,"

"We'll give him all the time he needs," Percy answered.

"Alright then," Naruto said cracking his neck.

"Let's end this,"

Then the three charged at the Meta

The Meta seeing this decided to face them head on.

Naruto reached him first.

The blond swung his gunblade with all his might but the Meta was ready. He ducked under the swing and kept moving forward to punch Naruto's stomach. Seeing this Naruto pulled the trigger in his weapon sending him flying way to avoid the hit. Seeing it to late the Meta had already thrusted his fist forward. He didn't realize Roxas was right behind Naruto.

Roxas lunged forward but instead of cutting the Meta with the chakram he held it out so the fist, would go through it. He moved quickly pushing the chakram all the way to the Meta's shoulder. He then swung his body around in an attempt to pin the Meta's arm but the Meta proved stronger and easily swung Roxas off of him.

As Roxas recovered midair Percy sped under him and stabbed forward. The Meta caught the blade between his hands easily. He twisted the blade forcing Percy to release but the Mistralian teen wasn't deterred. He spun as the sword was gripped from him and shot off another volley of debris. The Meta stubled from the point blank range of the force of the attack. Acting quickly Percy caught his sword before it hit the ground in a reverse grip and slashed in an upward diagonal arc scratching the armor but not putting a dent in it.

Seriously what was this armor made of.

The Meta recovered quickly and attempted an overhanded strike on Percy. Percy made to block the oncoming attack but soon discovered he didn't have too. Before the Meta could follow through with his attack he was shot with some force and sent backwards.

Ruby.

Percy grinned. He was so making her a batch of cookies when they got out of this.

UMPR

Carolina engaged Winter in close range combat as the two fought it out. Winter went in for a stab by Caolina deflected it easily with her gun before attempting to shoot the White haired specialist. Winter was ready however and whit her short sword deflected the gun by pushing it upward.

Winter sent a roundhouse kick to Carolina's side but Carolina lifted her leg up to block the attack. Realizing the position, they were in the two leapt away from each other.

The two eyed each other warily.

Then from the corner of their eyes they saw someone approaching them quickly.

It was the person wearing Cabooses armor.

Carolina looked at them. Seeing they had her attention he tapped his head once.

The signal.

Without hesitation Carolina removed her helmet.

Jaune nearly tripped over himself had it not been for Sheila.

Man she was beautiful.

In fact…

She looked an awful lot like…

'Worry about that later,' Jaune thought. Without looking Carolina tossed her helmet and Jauen caught it can kept on running as if nothing happened. The helmet clutched in his arms protectively.

Winter made to attack him but Carolina stopped her easily. She shot off an ice crystal that created a small barrier between Winter and Jaune. Winter grunted before turnignher attention back to Carolina.

"You took your helmet off," Winter said. Carolina simply smirked. "Good. Now I can see your face when I beat you!" Then they charged at each other once again.

UMPR

Percy went in for another strike and found he was joined by Roxas.

The attacked in tandem in what seemed like a never ending combo. Roxas would attack low in an attempt to break the Meta's stance while Percy went in high trying stab him. The Meta wasn't a slouch though.

He easily evaded all of the attacks thrown at him while at the same time sending in some of his own. That were blocked or dodged as well.

"Move!"

Percy and Roxas reacted. They slid to the side as Naruto sent another blast at the Meta who brought up his arms to block the blast.

The Meta looked to see Roxas coming at him from the side. He swung his arm out clotheslining the blonde but Roxas recovered quickly and slid a chakram down the length until it hit the shoulder.

Before he could hit the ground Naruto grabbed him midair.

"Nice timing!" Roxas complimented as the two hit the ground. Naruto didn't say anything but opted to charge at the juggernaut. He leapt into the air and brought his sword down. The Meta saw this and could see Roxas running toward him from the right and Percy from the left. And behind him was a crate.

He was trapped.

UMPR

Jaune ducked under another swing and continued running across the battlefield. He leapt over an ice spike that was in his way and did a spin to avoid a soldier who was in front of him.

Damnit he still couldn't see Naruto and the others.

Was he even going the right way!?

'Calm down,' Jaunt thought as he slid under a goon that went flying at him. Probably Nora. 'You'll get there in time,' He said simply. 'Arc's never give up!'

He had given up once. When he was being black mailed by Cardin he had shut everyone out and given up on himself.

He pushed a goon that saw him and attempted to strike him away and continued running. The goon turned to shoot him in the back but was halted by Blake who cut him down from all sides with her claws.

He wouldn't make that mistake again.

UMPR

"Oh not a bad plan," Sigma complimented nonchalantly as she looked at the predicament her Meta was in. The other two had been used to push her Meta back while steering him to the crate. "Too bad it won't work,"

With a growl the Meta braced himself.

(Red Vs. Blue Revelation Theme "Red vs. Blue" begins playing)

He grabbed the gunblade as it got close enough and swung it along with Naruto towards Roxas. Realizing he couldn't stop in time Roxas threw two of his chakrams at the Meta who dodged them easily. He finished his swing and Naruto slammed into Roxas and into the crate creating a hole in the side. Without looking he sent a backward sidekick to Percy. Realizing he couldn't stop he slid under the kick but that proved useless as The Meta brought the leg back down slamming Percy in the gut knocking the air out of him.

'Shit that hurt!' He thought as he saw black spots for a moment.

The Meta went in for another his but was stopped when something slammed into him again. And then again and then again.

Seriously Ruby was a helluva shot!

Percy rolled away to recover and eyed the still stumbling Meta. His back hit the crate and he moved his arms up to block the heavy bullets. Then a hand pierced through the crate and wrapped itself around the Meta's neck. Realizing this the Meta kicked his foot back piercing through the crate to kick whoever it was that was behind him. It seems he missed because his leg didn't hit anything. But he soon realized he couldn't move it. Somebody was holding it tight.

Percy took that as an opportunity to barrel at the Meta and held out his gauntlet hand. The Meta could do nothing as his leg was pulled and his body was pushed back do to the point blank volley forcing him through the wall of the crate creating yet another hole. Naruto and Roxas came out a second later backing up and eyeing the crate.

Slowly the Meta walked out of the crate.

'Naruto!'

The three looked up at the sound of Jaune speaking in the coms.

'I have the helmet and I can see you guys!' The three turned and they could see Jaune running towards them. 'I'm almost there!'

The three huntsmen in training looked at each other and nodded before eyeing the enemy in front of them.

This ended now.

Naruto dropped his gunblade and charged forward. There wasn't much left but he could still feel the power surge flowing through him. He was going to use the remains for all it was worth.

"2!"

Naruto cocked his fist back as the Meta charged as well.

The two met with colliding their fist, creating a small shockwave. Not done yet Naruto and the Meta aimed to punch again leading to the same result. Soon the two became a blur of colliding fists as the two tried to overpower the other.

The ground under them began to cave in from the pressure and continuous shockwaves hitting it. Then as if there seemed to be no end to the onslaught of fists. Naruto leapt back as Percy came in from under him and held his hand out.

Readjusting the setting the debris was shot out like a Gatling. The Meta couldn't stop the continuous force from point blank. Then he maneuvered his sword around the Meta's arm and did an over shoulder through.

Roxas was waiting for him.

He looked up just in time to see Roxas holding the gunblade and swinging it upward hitting the juggernaut into the air.

The Meta looked down and got ready to recover midair but found he couldn't.

'What is this,' Sigma thought. She and the Meta looked down to see Naruto with his fist cocked back leap into the air heading straight for them.

'Why can't you move!' The flaming AI thought.

That's when she noticed the chakrams. Two to each limb. She went over the battle to think when they could have been put on.

Flashback

Roxas lunged forward but instead of cutting the Meta with the chakram he held it out so the fist, would go through it. He moved quickly pushing the chakram all the way to the Meta's shoulder.

UMPR

The Meta swung his arm out clotheslining the blonde but Roxas recovered quickly and slid a chakram down the length until it hit the shoulder.

UMPR

Roxas threw two of his chakrams at the Meta who dodged them easily. After slamming Naruto into him. The Meta didn't see Percy catch the two chakrams.

Realizing he couldn't stop Percy slid under the kick. As he slid under he moved the chakrams around the leg placing one at the knee and further up the thigh.

UMPR

The Meta kicked his foot through the crate missing his target. From inside the crate Naruto griped onto the leg tightly as Roxas slid two chakrams over it, placing them at the knee and upper thigh like Percy had.

UMPR

Naruto and the Meta engaged in a high speed high powered fist fight. At some point Naruto sent yet another chakram around one of the Meta's arms before continuing the fist fight like nothing had happened.

Flashback end.

Sigma couldn't help but smirk. It was a good plan.

(Last verse after instrumental)

The Meta wasn't done however. His right arm only had one chakram on it. Caught the fist Naruto attempted to use.

'Damnit!' Naruto growled. They had missed a joint. The Meta began to squeeze down on the offending fist. But before he could continue an unknown force hit his arm forcing him to release the blond.

The sniper!

"Hey!"

The Meta looked down to see Naruto on top of the gunblade which was being held by Jaune. Naruto was holding a helmet.

Then Jaune pulled the trigger and Naruto was blasted upward.

This time he couldn't stop the uppercut. It made contact with the Meta's chin. The force of the punch ended up knocking the helmet right off his head. As Naruto came back down he wrapped his legs around the Meta's chest and brought the helmet over his head.

"Give me back my partner," Naruto growled. Then he slammed the helmet down onto his head.

(Song ends)

UMPR

Sigma looked around as the new helmet had been placed on. Normally this couldn't do anything. The AI's weren't implanted in the helmets they could just access them.

"Hey lil'sis,"

"You," Sigma glared eying the hologram that came into existence in front of her.

But AI's could link too helmets so they could move around at longer distances.

"Now is that anyway to greet me," The feminine voice said with a cocky tone.

"Hmm," Sigma huffed. Suddenly the other AI flickered briefly.

"And you locked up your brother," She continued. "Though since we did lock you up it's only fair,"

"I would agree," Sigma said.

"But you know what happens now," The voice said.

Sigma sighed. "Get on with it," She said nonchalantly. There was no point arguing. This AI was stronger than her.

Sigma felt her form flicker.

"So you know," The AI continued. "None of us wanted it this way," They said seriously.

"I know," Sigma answered. "But it's better because my goals haven't changed,"

"That's too bad," The AI said. "Because now I'm stuck in girl talk with Carolina and Eta,"

Sigma chuckled. "I doubt I'd be any better," Sigma could feel herself shutting down. "You better keep a closer eye on him," She warned. "Because I've tasted fresh air after so long,"

Then her body began to shatter slowly.

"And I want more,"

Then she was gone.

A few moments later someone began to flicker in and out.

Church.

"AND AFTER I GET RID OF YOUR KNEE'S I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU WATCH AS I- huh?"

"Good to see you out and about,"

Church looked around before his eyes laid eyes on the other AI.

"Oh shit," He muttered.

"Glad to see you too Church," The AI said sarcastically.

"Shut up Tex," Church growled. He flickered for a moment. "Oh right one second," He said remembering something.

He flickered out for a few second before coming back.

"Just needed to wake up my partner," Church said.

"Sure we couldn't keep him asleep a bit longer," Tex groaned.

UMPR

"Caboose!"

Caboose could hear somebody calling him. It was a familiar one.

"Come on are you with us buddy!"

Another one. It was clearer than the last. Different but familiar like the last one.

"Please wake up,"

Yet again different but familiar.

"Caboose," It was the first voice. Much clearer than before, and closer.

"What do you think about being on team UMPR?"

Caboose slowly opened his eyes. He saw them through a visor of some sort. It wasn't his helmets. He saw three people dressed similarly. And behind them there was one other.

In fact, it looked like...

"Neat," Caboose shouted cheerfully. Spooking the others. "There's another me!" They all turned around to look at Jaune who was in Cabooses armor. Then Naruto chuckled before laughing out loud and soon Percy and Roxas joined him.

Soon it the laughing died down though the smiles were still on their faces.

"Welcome back buddy,"

UMPR

Nishiki no mihata o kakageyou

It shows a younger Caboose walking on a rail talking two kids his age. One of them is wearing an aqua stocking cap and the other is the kid from the flashbacks.

bokura wa bonkura

The kid in the stocking cap says something that seems to piss of the other kid walking with Caboose. Caboose retorts and the other two look at him like he's stupid.

yami o shireba koso hikari o shireru don't cry

It changes to a gun shop where a younger Grif is seen alongside a kid in a pink top hat. Grif looks aggravated at whatever the boy is saying.

tamerawazu somaru shikisai ni akogareta

When he lands he hits Grif as he opens the door and they land in a pile. Grif pushes him off and looks at him pissed off when suddenly Weiss runs up and starts yelling at both of them. Caboose looks up curiously and Grif looks at her with a bored expression.

shounen no you ni takaku mioroshite itai

Winter is seen looking down with a disapproving look while her friend is seen laughing at the display. While Penny gives a bright smile and the olderman chuckles. Suddenly Grif and Caboose start walking away from Weiss in the middle of her rant. She gives chase and the two begin running in a circle to avoid her.

boku o niramu boku ga koko ni iru

Winter calls her and she stops chasing the two and walks off with Winter and the red head. It shows Caboose and Grif looking at each other before walking off with their respective friends while Penny begins talking to the older man animatedly as they walk off in their own direction.
