Alright I am closing in to the more serious parts of the Volume, and I just gain chills from the thought of it.
There will be major changes that I have to do to completely make the storyline fit in, so I have to be prepared for it.
But I have news!!
I will either do a RWBY Crossover, a RWBY X Fate, a Gate story, or a RWBY x Pokémon Adventures crossover after VTR. I watched some Fate and Gate in Netflix so I know some things I need, while I read the Pokémon Adventures Manga and understood the characters that I will use.
But I am losing interest on Watching the Elements and Arc Music Album, it just not really clicking on me anymore. My Pokémon Honor and Pride is just a side gig so I rarely continue it at all.
I will eventually stop doing that and will continue focusing on my main stories. I will also eventually learn more aspects of things that I will use in the near future and continue this route while continuing my studies.
For now, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter:55 A Bloody Revolution
The morning after Jacques closed the Schnee Dust Company's nonessential facilities, the Mantle rioters are sitting on sidewalks and in police airships with their wrists bound by bolases. A soldier escorts the drunk man's friend along a sidewalk while Atlesian Knight-200s patrol the area. The drunk from before stands in line with other Mantle citizens outside a polling station. As he gets to the booth, he decides whether he will vote for Robyn Hill, Jacques Schnee, Ivy Brown, or Pearl Wistier. The outside walls have campaign posters for both Jacques and Robyn, and Jacques' posters have been spray-painted over.
"Although rioting in Mantle is finally under control, how does it feel to know that the majority of those involved were your supporters?" A reporter asked as she was in a building interviewing Robyn.
"I don't condone rioting, especially when our city is being denied aid for the hardships we've already had to go through, but Jacques Schnee's latest stunt is holding the city hostage for his own political gain," Robyn said as back outside, the drunken man approaches a voting booth and begins his vote. His hand hovers over the screen as he hesitates. "So I understand their anger, but ask that they show it not in the streets but at the polls today."
In the Atlas Academy training room, Blake uses her Semblance and jumps from pillar to pillar while Yang follows and attempts to catch her.
Below Blake and Yang, Winter sends her Beowolf Summon to attack Weiss, who creates black glyphs above, below, and to the left and right of it. Weiss then uses the glyphs to throw the Beowolf Summon around, slamming it against the glyphs. She creates a white glyph in front of her and uses it to send the Summon back toward Winter, who creates her own white glyph to stop it. However, Winter suddenly winces in pain and drops to one knee. She then discovers that a small version of Weiss' Arma Gigas Summon snuck up to her and cut her ankle with its sword. The Arma Gigas strikes a pose with its sword on its shoulder, and Winter glares at Weiss, who gives a smug smirk in return and giggles.
Behind Weiss, Jaune and Pyrrha are using their shield to deflect a rubber ball, while Nora keeps hitting it toward him with herhammer. Nora activates Magnhild's upgrade,charging herself up with electricity. She swings Magnhild around and sends the ball rocketing toward Jaune, who blocks it and slides backward several feet before dropping to one knee. The emblem on his shield glows cyan as his forcefield turns on while he blocks, and the ball eventually turns to ash.
Nearby, Oscar, Eis, and the Alolan Vulpix are standing few meters away from them with Oscar using his Scroll to keep track of Jaune's Aura, which has been reduced to approximately 65%. Jaune sits up and takes a deep breath, his Aura glowing for a moment, and Oscar watches Jaune's Aura increase to approximately 95%.
"Nice, your recovery is getting faster," Oscar said.
Nora walks over to Jaune and Pyrrha as her leader gives a cheerful thumbs-up. Nora then gives him a heavy pat on the back, still using her Semblance, which knocks him onto the ground, reducing his Aura to approximately 64% as Pyrrha quickly went to pick him up. Ruby zooms past with her Semblance, heading straight toward Ren who is meditating in front of a pillar. She splits into three red blurs, which all go around Ren and the pillar, before merging into one blur and becoming Ruby again.
"Have you always been able to do that?" Oscar asked as Ruby peeks out at him from behind the pillar panting, and then walks over to him.
"I don't know. I don't normally think it through that much." She said.
"You guys are evolving and I still don't have my Semblance," Oscar said in disappointment while U. Pichu cuddles his leg.
"Well, I bet we'll all be jealous when you do. Just be lucky that you didn't join with the other guys," Ruby said as they heard a muffled explosion from a different training room.
Ren continues meditating, deep in a state where he has blocked out everyone around him. There is a ringing sound, followed by the sound of the training room door opening, and Ren opens his eyes and looks toward the door to see General Ironwood and Clover there.
"Clover wasn't kidding. You're really giving this your all," James said as Oscar and Ren stand up.
"Well, we have to with the way things are going," Ruby said.
Ironwood then takes out his Scroll, which projects a screen depicting the live election results. Currently, Jacques has 30% of the vote, while Robyn has 70%.
"They're not going well, are they?"
"It's all on the the votes now then," Yang said as she rests her arm on Oscar's shoulder, taking him by surprise.
"Oh, I suppose so. Either way, this election doesn't bode well for our stability."
"It could be a chance to work with Robyn and get Mantle on your side," Ruby suggested as James put his Scroll away.
"The likelihood of that working--"
"She's right, you have to do something about Mantle. If you could get Robyn to trust you..." Nora said.
"It would have a great outcome," Pyrrha said.
"Yeah, I bet if you opened up to her she'd understand that you're being framed," Jaune said.
James then sigh and said, "Perhaps... but it will only work if she's open too."
Nora starts to say something, but Ren steps forward and interrupts her, earning a look from her, Jaune, and Pyrrha.
"I take it you're here for new mission assignments?" Ren asked.
"You could say that. The General and I want you to take the rest of the day to recuperate," Clover said.
"You're giving us a night off?" Blake asked.
"Ordering it. After tonight's election, we'll be waking up to a very different Atlas tomorrow. I need you rested and ready for whatever that may bring. Especially with Team VRMN keeps destroying the training they used," James said till they heard another explosion and sighs. "Including that one."
Ruby starts thinking to herself, looking very nervous.
At sunset that day, Team RWBY is in their dorm room. Blake is sitting at one of the small desks with a mirror in front of her, while Ruby and Yang are lying on beds, and Weiss is leaning against the ladder between the bunk beds with Eis on her lap. Weiss has a live report from the Daily Mantle playing on her Scroll. While Blake puts on mascara, Yang looks over at her.
"We still have hours ahead of us, but as votes come in, it looks more and more certain that Robyn Hill will fill the open council seat," The newscaster said as Weiss closes her Scroll and walks across the room.
"There's no way my father could've thought layoffs would do anything but hurt him. So why announce this the day before the election?" Weiss questioned as she still trying to figure it out.
"Just seems like a power play that backfired to me. Won't matter in a few hours though," Yang said as she stands up, stretches and walks over to Blake.
"Where are you guys going?" Ruby asked as Blake adjusts her hair, and Yang rests her hand on Blake's back, leans down and adjusts her own hair while looking in the mirror.
"Team FNKI invited us out dancing. Yang and I thought it would be good to get our minds off the election," Blake said.
"I thought you said Team FNKI was annoying," Ruby said as Yang straightens up.
"That's the best part about dance clubs," She said as she points to her ears while whispering. "I can't hear you."
Blake giggles. As Nora, Ren, Nomad, and Mel slide the door open from outside.
"Ruby, come on!" Nora called out to her.
"I still can't believe you're going to that thing," Weiss said.
"Just because Ironwood dislikes Robyn doesn't mean weallhave to. From where I'm standingbothof them seem to be trying their best to help Atlas. As to who's doing a better job..."
Weiss let out a sigh and said, "But a victory party?"
"We deserve one thank you," Nomad said as Ruby walks past Weiss, shrugging, and stops next to Nora.
"Invite's still open if you want in. Vic and Penny gonna be working security," Ruby said as on other end of the room, Yang starts laughing. Weiss turns to see Blake trying and failing to dance.
"Oh my gosh, no. You gotta do it like this," Yang said as the Liepard Faunus stops and watches as Yang begins dancing.
"That's what I'm doing," Blake said as she holds her hands out in exasperation, her cat ears folding over, and Yang laughs again.
Jaune, Pyrrha, Randy, Oscar and U. Pichu lean into the doorway, while Weiss watches Blake and Yang with an unamused expression.
"Hey, Oscar, Pyrrha, Randy and I are hitting the movies if anyone wants--"
"Yup!" Weiss completely cuts the blonde off.
Oscar and U. Pichu both gain a very happy expression while Pyrrha and Randy look at each other, and Jaune rubs the back of his head in confusion
"Oh, okay."
Later, after the sun has set, Ruby, Nomad, Mel Nora and Ren are walking in Mantle, on their way to Robyn's victory party. A truck drives down the street, honking its horn, with people standing in the bed holding signs, which say "HILL IS HERE" and "HILL 4 COUNCIL".
"I understand Weiss' point though. A victory party does seem a bit premature," Ruby said as the five of them continue on their way down the sidewalk.
"Aw, let them have one sure thing," Nora said.
"It has been very long," Mel said in agreement.
"Probably the last sure thing before Amity Tower goes up and everyone learns about… what we're fighting."
They walk past a group of people watching the live election results on a TV screen. Jacques has 33% of the vote, and Robyn has 67%.
"We spent so much time worrying about how Ironwood will react to the truth about her, but have any of us considered how we're even going to beat her if we manage to work past that?" Ren asked as everyone thought of it.
"Jinn said she can't be beaten," Nora said as they walk by two people who are sitting beside a heating element, trying to warm up.
"She told Oz that he couldn't destroy her," Ruby said as Nora and Mel look at her.
"But maybe someone else could?" Nora said.
"Or maybe contain her," Mel said.
"I don't know."
"We should be training right now," Ren said as Nora look at him in worry.
"We've trained enough! Take some time to--"
"We don't have time!"
Ruby, Randy and Mel slows down and watches as Ren and Nora angrily walk on ahead.
A large crowd of people have gathered inside a small auditorium for Robyn's victory party. Wires have been taped up along the walls, and there are Robyn Hill campaign posters decorating the walls. Above the stage is a giant hologram screen showing the live election results. Jacques has 36% of the vote, while Robyn has 64%. A pair of camera drones float around the room, one of which has a "Kick Me" sign taped to the back of it and the other of which has a gift ribbon stuck to it. While Ruby, Nora and Ren enter the building, the vote percentage shifts to 37% for Jacques and 63% for Robyn. Vic and Penny makes their way through the crowd and sees their friends.
"Ruby, Mel, Nomad, Nora, Ren!" Penny said in joy as Vic chuckles.
"Welcome to the party," Vic said.
"Hey, Penny. Hey, Vic," Ruby said.
"I am so glad you made it. It's just Marrow, Vic, and I tonight, so more friends means more fun. Where are the others?" Penny asked as Nora and Ren are still in a bad mood.
"Weiss is out with the Pyrrha and the boys, and Blake and Yang are off doing their own thing... again," Nora said.
"At least they're back to being friends," Ren said.
"Friends, huh? Just friends?"
Ruby takes on a somewhat fed up expression and sinks down to the floor as Nomad and Mel look at each other, while Ren turns to Nora.
"What else would they be?" Ren asked in confusion.
"Two people who've gone through that much? I think there's more going on."
"Well maybe one of them feels that way but the other might be worried."
"About what!?"
"We are just gonna be there," Nomad said as he points to the buffet table and walks over there with Mel to avoid the awkwardness.
Ruby rises back up next to Vic and Penny, still fed up.
"It's just, there's a lot of things going on right now."
"Well, how can they figure things out if they don't talk about it?"
Penny leans to Vic and Penny asked, "I believe I may be confused. What are they talking about?"
The two leaders look at each other as Vic said, "I might have an idea."
Nora and Ren continue talking while Penny and Vic gets communications from Marrow through their earpieces.
"Vic and Penny, where'd you go?"
The two starts to leave but Ruby clings to Penny's arm in a panic.
"Please don't leave me," Ruby pleaded.
Ruby, Vic, and Penny go backstage together to meet up with Marrow.
"Oh hey, what--" Marrow was about to ask till he saw Ruby. "What're you doing here?"
"Just, uh, hangin' out with a friend while she's on the job," Ruby said as she casually holds out her fist for a fist bump. Recognizing the gesture, Penny gasps, her eyes wide and shining with excitement. She makes a fist, closes one eye, sticks her tongue out and lines it up. She pulls back her fist and then slams it into Ruby's with a big smile. There's a dull "ding" noise, and Ruby gains an expression of deadpan shock, her hand throbbing with pain. Penny turns to Marrow with an innocent smile, while Vic snickers at the scene and Ruby cradles her hand, groaning quietly in pain.
"Yeah, real cute. Look, try not to be too much of a distraction. We need to be vigilant in case--"
"In case what?" The blue haired woman that was with Robyn from before suddenly approaches Marrow, setting the tip of her weapon to the floor.
"In case someone tries to start trouble," Marrow said.
"Oh, funny, that's why we're here. So feel free to take a hike," The woman said.
"Listen, the General's trying to help, all right? Just 'cause you can't understand--"
"What's going on here, Wags?"
Robyn has suddenly entered the backstage area next to Ruby, Vic and Penny. She notices Ruby.
"Oh, and the pipsqueak is back," Robyn said as Ruby gives a slight glare with her unique eyes, growling a little.
Marrow scoffed and said, "We're concerned about security risks, ma'am. The General doesn't want any surprises tonight."
The blue haired woman smirks in amusement, while the other woman with the dark green hair is now standing next to her. Robyn walks over to Marrow.
"Fine, but stay out of the way," Robyn said as she walks over to stand with her two cohorts, the one with blue hair gasps in surprise and confusion. "If I get elected tonight, we'll all have to learn how to get along."
She looks at the blue haired woman, who rolls her eyes and walks away.
"Sure, we won't have any problems, as long as you stay within the law," Marrow said.
"The law isn't perfect, you know. It's certainly not equal."
"Trust me, I'm well aware," Marrow tilts his dog tail to the side to be more visible to Robyn.
"My only goal is that all the citizens of Mantle and Atlas -- and Faunus -- have an equal shot at a good life," Robyn assured.
"That sounds great. And you're planning to do all that equalizing legally, right?"
Behind them on the stage, the Sheep Faunus is fidgeting with a microphone. The green haired woman is grinning. Robyn looks at her and smirks, causing her to grin more.
"Everything I've done is legal."
"Of course, one hundred percent."
The Sheep Faunus taps on the microphone, causing loud feedback, much to the crowd's displeasure.
"Ha-ha, well, that worked," She said as the live election results now show that Robyn's vote percentage is 57%. Joanna walks away, and Marrow groans in annoyance and walks away toward Penny and Ruby. The crowd begins chanting "Robyn".
"Scram kid, we've got a job to do," Marrow said as he gestured to himself, Vic, and Penny.
Marrow exits the backstage area, and Ruby hops out and blows a raspberry at him, which Penny and Vic giggles at. Ruby, Vic, and Penny wave to each other, as Ruby walks away into the crowd. Ruby's smile fades when she sees that Nora and Ren are still arguing. The live election results now say that Jacques has 41% of the vote, while Robyn has 59%.
"Can we pleas ejust not do this right now?" Ren said to Nora.
"I should've just gone to the movies," Ruby said to herself.
Ruby turns back around and heads to the front of the crowd. The Sheep Faunus has begun giving a speech, and the live election results show Jacques now has 43% of the votes.
"I want to thank everyone for going to the polls today. This is Mantle's moment. I know that, like me, you're all thrilled that we chose Robyn as our voice in Atlas.No onehas fought harder for Mantle than she has. And…" She covers her mouth, trying not to cry, and then wipes a tear from her eye with her palm. "I know Robyn will continue that fight on the Council. Will you share a few words?"
She turns to look at Robyn, who is off stage, and the crowd begins chanting Robyn's name again. Robyn walks onto the stage, causing the crowd to cheer. She takes the microphone, and Fiona excitedly talks to her for a few moments, before walking off stage.
"I've never been much for public speaking, probably wasn't my best idea ever to go into politics," Robyn said.
Nomad and Mel are watching Robyn by the buffet table with food in their mouths as the live election results show Jacques has 45% of the votes and Robyn has 55%.
"Thank you so much, everyone, for choosing me. You said you believe in me. But I'm the one who believes in all of you. You've proven to me that as individuals, we are strong. But together, we're unstoppable."
Nora looks at Ren. The live results shift to Jacques with 46% and Robyn with 54%.
"So no matter what happens tonight, win or lose, we will continue to fight for our city, because it is this city that brings us together."
The crowd cheers and upbeat music begins playing. Nora reaches out to touch Ren's arm, but he turns away from her. Robyn walks off stage, smiling and waving to the crowd. She turns her head away from the crowd and looks nervously up at the screen.
"We're in the final minutes now, and it's looking to be a closer race than anticipated," The newscaster said as Robyn stood by her group.
"Don't worry, it's in the bag," The green haired woman said as she smiles, and the blue haired woman grins, winks and gives a thumbs up. Robyn smiles faintly but then looks nervously at the screen again. The results change again, showing Jacques with 47% and Robyn with 53%. She looks away, frowning.
Ren is avoiding looking at Nora, who finally speaks up.
She sighs and said, "Ren, what's going on? Why won't you just talk to me?"
"You know I've... never... been really good with talking," Ren said.
"Then screw talking!" Nora grabs Ren's shirt and pulls him to her, planting a kiss on his lips. His eyes widen and he holds his arms out in surprise, but then he closes his eyes and kisses back. As he wraps his arms around her, she moves her arms behind his neck. Everything around them fades to a blur. Ruby looks around happily. Nomad and Mel bump fists with each other. Penny, Vic and Marrow look at each other.
Somewhere else, in a room filled with Schnee Dust Company crates, Watts is watching live drone footage of the party on a screen projected from his Scroll. Next to the live drone feed is a recorded video of Penny and Vic fighting Sabyrs in the streets of Mantle. In windows behind the live and recorded footage, there is a Mantle election map and the live election results screen with the numbers erased. Watts taps the screens of an array of Scrolls laid out in front of them, and the screens light up. He adjusts one of his rings, and all eight of them light up. He strikes a pose with his hands in the air.
"You ready, Tyrian?" Watts asked.
The Scorpion Faunus is among the crowd at Robyn's party, with the hood of his jacket obscuring his face. Robyn walks past on the stage.
Tyrian chuckles and said, "Always."
Penny cheerfully salutes to Ruby, who grins at her while Vic look intently to the crowd.
"The polls are about to close. Twelve, eleven…" Robyn counted down as Vic and Penny looks over at Robyn, while the crowd carries on the countdown. Ruby notices Tyrian's prosthetic tail slither out from the crowd as he begins walking away.
"Ten, nine, eight..." The crowd continued the countdown.
Ruby moves and leans into the crowd to look for the owner of the robotic scorpion tail, her eyes widening in panic. Tyrian chuckles maniacally and looks at Ruby.
"Seven, six, five, four, three--"
Ruby gasps as she reaches out toward the stage and shouted, "Watch out!"
Ren opens his eyes and looks in Ruby's direction. All power in the building shuts off. The crowd murmurs in confusion. May and Joanna are leaning against the wall opposite from the stage, looking up at the lights. Ren and Nora hold onto each other, looking around with confusion and worry while Mel and Nomad readied their Pokéballs in hand.
"Go," Watts said as he swipes his hand across his Scrolls, lighting up their screens. Robyn drops the microphone onto the stage, and there is a faint sound of blood spatter, followed by a woman screaming. In a panic, someone elbows Ruby, knocking her down and causing her to hit her head against the side of the stage. Tyrian begins swiftly moving through the crowd, kicking people's legs from under them and slashing them with his blades. He stabs one person in the torso and continues his rampage, running and spinning through the air.
"Penny, what's going on over there?" Marrow asked through the communicator.
Penny activates her night vision and looks at Ruby and Vic, the former is sitting with her back against the stage, trying not to be trampled while the latter tried to move through the crowd. Penny turns and looks at the main area of the building, to see Tyrian slash another civilian with his weapon and then impale yet another with his stinger. He drops the civilian and straightens up, licking his lips. Penny draws her Floating Array and points the blades at Tyrian.
"Put down your weapon and surrender!" Penny ordered as Tyrian looks at her and then vanishes into the crowd as two civilians run past between them. Penny looks around for him.
Watts continues waving his hands around, while his screen shows recorded video of Penny fighting Sabyrs, live footage of Tyrian attacking the party goers, and 3D models of Tyrian and Penny. As he moves his hands, the Tyrian model and the real Tyrian in the live footage each gain a cyan outline. Shortly after, the Penny model and the real Penny in the recorded video gain cyan outlines, as well.
"This is Ace Operative Marrow, requesting immediate assistance!" Marrow said through the communicator.
Watts gestures to a Scroll that is showing Mantle's election map, causing the colors to change in Jacques' favor. He swipes his hand across other Scrolls, causing their screens to light up.
Robyn and the Sheep Faunus stand back to back on the stage, weapons drawn.
"Huntresses, to me!" Robyn called out to her group.
The Faunus looks back at Robyn, unaware that Tyrian has ascended the stairs and begun running toward her on the stage.
"Come on, we've gotta get you outta here!" She called out to them as she turns and looks just in time to see Tyrian charging toward her. His right arm begins glowing purple with Aura, and his eyes glow purple, as well. He drags his fingers across her stomach and side, causing her Aura to dissipate from that area, as if he ripped it open. Immediately afterward, he swings his left arm, cutting her with his weapon. She cries out in pain and drops to her knees, while Tyrian leaps over her and Robyn. Hearing the Faunus' scream, Penny turns to the stage.
"Robyn!" Penny called out as she activates her jets and flies toward the stage. Tyrian rises up behind Robyn, giggling to himself, and Penny tackles Robyn out of the way. Tyrian leaps up into the air. Robyn gasps and turns over onto her back, aiming her weapon at Penny, who slowly levitates her swords around her and scans the area for Tyrian. On a beam above the stage, Tyrian watches her.
"Right on time," Tyrian said as he leaps away, and the power comes back on, momentarily blinding Robyn. Once her eyes adjust, Robyn sees Penny standing in front of her with swords drawn. Penny looks around, upset and confused. Behind her, the giant screen displays a photograph of Jacques, with the word "VICTORY!" below it.
"And the winner of the Atlas Council election is… Jacques Schnee!"
Penny stares out at the bloodied civilians lying on the floor. The rest of the crowd is standing back from the massacre, crying and yelling hysterically. Ruby and Vic looks around at the scene in horror, while Marrow looks at the bodies in shock. One of the citizens, who is putting pressure on a fallen civilian's wound, points at Penny.
"It's Ironwood's robot!"
"Penny."
Penny turns to see Robyn staring at her with distrust. Penny folds her swords and puts them away in fear as Vic quickly stood between them.
"Don't try," Vic warned as he grabbed Penny's hand.
The screen begins displaying live footage of Jacques standing at a podium in front of the Schnee manor.
"I... Thank you all for of your support. It's because of you that Atlas will see a new day," Jacques said.
Ruby climbs onto the stage, runs over to Fiona and puts pressure on the wound, Robyn watching her as she does so.
"This a victory for Atlas!"
Robyn glares at Vic and Penny and growls angrily. Ren, Nora, Nomad, and Mel run over and climb onto the stage.
"What happened?" Nora asked in worry.
"It was Tyrian! Tyrian's here!" Ruby said as Ren draws his guns and deploys their blades, and Marrow climbs onto the stage. Two of Robyn's subordinates and the rest of the crowd charge toward the stage. Marrow points at them.
"Stay!" Marrow shouted as the crowd slows to a stop. He then turn to the gang. "Get Penny out the back, now!"
Vic and Nora encourages Penny to go backstage with them as Ren, Nomad, and Mel follows them. Robyn aims her weapon at them the whole time, then folds the crossbow away once they are gone. She gets up, hurries over to the Sheep Faunus, shoves Ruby away and begins applying pressure to the wound.
"I-I'm okay, I'm okay," The Faunus said as Marrow stops holding his pose and approaches Robyn and Fiona.
"I-I'm sorry. Is she--" As he was about to reaches toward them, and a crossbow bolt just barely misses his hand. The bule haired woman glares with her weapon aimed at him. Ruby runs over to Marrow and begins tugging on his arm to get him to follow her backstage. He continues reaching out to Robyn.
"This wasn't us, I swear," Marrow said as he and Ruby run backstage. Robyn glares at them as they leave.
Watts watches a video on his screen titled MNTL_SECURITYCAM_PENNY_001. The video depicts Penny standing among the party-goers, swinging her swords at them.
"Fine work, Tyrian. I think we are done for tonight," Watts said as he taps the large "UPLOAD" button, and then the screen fades away. He picks up his bag and his personal Scroll and turns away, tossing his Scroll into the air. His Scroll collapses, showing his W emblem, and he catches it, smirking.
Somewhere in Mantle, the drunk from before stares at a TV screen while other civilians run past him, screaming in panic.
"A surprise victory by SDC Mining Corporation's CEO, Jacques Schnee. Last-minute voter turnout produced a dark horse victory for the Dust industry leader."
He drinks from his flask and walks away.
Ruby, Nora, Ren, Vic, Nomad, Mel, Marrow and Penny are standing in an alleyway somewhere. Vic and Penny is standing apart from the group. Ren still has his weapons drawn, and Marrow has his hand to his face. Ruby turns and looks at Penny, who is staring into the distance, her eyes glimmering from the shock and despair. Ruby reaches her bloodied hand out to Penny, but then stops and looks at the blood while Vic comforts the gynoid. Marrow turns to Penny.
"Penny, you need to get to Atlas. Backup's on the way," Marrow ordered but Penny didn't answer. "Penny?"
Penny turns a little, as if to look back at him, but then flies away into the sky and disappears behind a building. In the distance, Grimm roar and more sounds of people screaming are heard.
"Grimm," Ruby said as Marrow sighed and drew his weapon.
"We've got a long night ahead."
"No kidding," Nomad said.
They run out of the alley to face the Manticores that have begun invading Mantle. The giant screens in the city broadcast a live feed of Jacques' acceptance speech, while Mantle's security sirens begin blaring and the street lights turn red.
"And as the newest member of the Council, I pledge to serve each and every citizen of Mantle and Atlas."
Omake
Pokémon Study: The Hoenn Region
In Shade Academy, Shori and Seier stood in front of their class with a projector beside him.
"Alright kids, we'll be now showing you of Vic's journey through the Hoenn Region," Shori said as the class began to whisper to each other.
"Then let's get started then," Seier said as she started the projector.
It then showed Vic resting on a cot of his place in the Rustboro's academy bell tower.
"Okay, this is the first entry of my digital , I am really excited you know. Tomorrow will be the beginning of my journey, and probably find some clues of my parents," Vic said while Team CFVY smiled from their seats when they remembered the day Vic discovered his family.
The next clip then showed Vic in the woods, letting out a deep sigh.
"Well I got this," He then showed his hand to reveal the tattoo of the Locke Curse. "I even named my partner Gamabunta and this happened to me. This would be hard but I really can't change my mind."
The next clip then showed Vic in a comfortable room while Bunta sits beside him.
"So I am going back to Rustboro to get my first Gym Badge while I caught along Shukaku the Zigzagoon, Kiba the Poochyena and Mei the Marill. I even met a kid named Wally and helped him catch his first Pokémon."
The next scene then shown Vic in a tent while Bunta sleeps beside him.
"I'm currently here in the forests and stopped a grunt from stealing a scientist, I also caught Fuu the Wurmple and began to train here for a bit."
The next clip then showed Vic in his old room in Rustboro City.
"Day 6, and I am back in Rustboro for my Gym Badge. After arriving here, I encountered another grunt running away while a scientist called to him and gave chase. When I was near Rusturf Tunnel, I saw Mr. Briney the boatman asking for help finding Peeko the Wingull. Then I entered the tunnel and found Peeko being harassed by the grunt from before and beating him, saving Peeko in the process. After that, I began training for Roxanne and got myself a Taillow named Temari and a Whismut named Kin while Fuu evolved to a Silcoon."
The next clip then showed Vic on the road again as he is sitting by a bonfire.
"This is Day 8 and currently heading to Dewport Town. After I finished my Gym with Roxanne as Bunta helped me beat her and get the badge. I was then surprised from the next day when Roxanne leads me into the school and everyone was there to congratulate me for my first badge, I was really happy that day and everyone gave me some things that I needed for my journey and rest up in my old room."
The next clip then showed Vic in a pair of orange trunks by the sea while a bonfire is right beside him.
"This is Day 11 and I just finished training with my Pokémons so I am just here sitting by the shore of Dewford so I could finish this entry. After just arriving here in Dewford by boat, I quickly set down and rest then went to Granite Cave as I caught Choji the Makuhita, I now then train them here so I could prepare for Brawly, but I plan to go to Slateport first to train more and catch myself a new friend.
The next clip then showed Vic on a bed.
"Day 14 and I have returned to Dewford after a two day visit in Slateport. Bunta eventually evolved to Marshtomp and Fuu evolved to Beautifly, I also caught an Electrike that I named Kakashi."
The next clip then showed Vic on a boat.
"This is Day 15 and I am heading onto the mainland. I have beaten Brawly with Temari and quickly headed to Mr. Briney so I could go to Slateport. But before I left, I quickly switched Kiba with Kakashi since I heard that only certain people's have mastered training Kiba's evolution line, but I don't think that I have that dedication. I also switched Shukaku with Kin since I know that he won't live long in my journey with my guidance."
The next clip then showed Vic in a hotel room.
"Day 18 and I'm currently here in Mauville City taking a rest after finishing off the Gym here. Wattson was really easy to take out with Bunta's help. I also went and train my team as Temari, Mei, and Kin evolves while I switched Fuu with Choji since I learn that her kind really don't make it this long. I even caught an Oddish that I named Konohamaru."
The next clip then showed Vic drying his hair while fully clothed.
"Day 22 and I'm currently here in Fallarbor Town after walking through a route filled with volcanic ash. It took me a long time to get here because of it, but I made it. I was planning to head to the next Gym, but it was blocked by grunts in red. So I avoid it because I wasn't sure about that direction. I also caught a Machop that I named Gai while Choji and Kakashi evolved to their final stage."
Thr next clip then showed Vic in the bell tower back in Rustboro as he lay on the cot.
"Day 26 and I went back home after going through Meteor Falls, I saw the grunts I saw before fighting the grunts in red there, and even met the leader of the red grunts. So I'm here for now till I'm rest up."
The next clip then showed Vic drying his hair again.
"Day 28 and I'm here in Lavaridge Town and beaten the Gym with Mei as the Gym was tough when they keep setting Sunny Day, but with Mei's Huge Power and Rollout really helps. So I enjoyed the hot spring here before I go to Petalburg so I could get my next badge."
The next clip then showed Vic sitting on a bed while having a bed look in his face.
"Day 29 and I'm here at Petalburg after finishing my Gym," He took a breath and sighs. "Choji able to beat three of Norman's Pokémons then his Slaking came out, I sent out Mei and used Defense Curl to max out her defense to tank my opponent's attacks, but after using Rollout... He used Counter on Mei and finished her in one shot. I... I had to call Roxanne so she could plan Mei's funeral and only stay for one day before continuing my journey. I need to do it for Mei after everything she had done for the team."
The room grew solemn as they pay their respect for Mei.
The next clip then showed Vic in his tent while it was raining outside.
"Day 34 and I'm currently heading to Fortree City, but had to stop because of the rain. I even train my new member Konohamaru till he evolved to a Gloom while the others grew stronger. I also have to save this weather institute from the grunts in blue."
The next clip then showed Vic in a large wooden tree house.
"Day 38 and I have beaten the Gym here with Gamabunta and Kakashi after getting a TM for Ice Beam so Bunta could use it. It took me a while to find it but it was worth it. So I'm here for now till I head for the next Gym."
The next clip then showed Vic taking off a certain clothing.
"Hey that's his Contests outfit," Coco said as everyone look at one another as they remembered the outfit back in Beacon.
"In Day 40, I just discovered another passion: Contests. When I just heard this from Roxanne, I began to have interest on it," Vic said as he puts on a white shirt. "But now, I began to love it and embrace it. I just entered my first Normal Rank Cool Contest with Kakashi and won, I still plan on continuing my journey, but I'll come back here if another Contests is coming up."
The next clip then showed Vic outside below the stars with a fully evolved Gamabunta and Kin sleeping beside him.
"Day 42 and I just had to battle the group of red grunts that call themselves Team Magma and they had a serious issue with the group of blue grunts that call themselves Team Aqua. I had to fight their boss with Bunta, Kakashi, and Choji. Eventually Bunta evolved in that battle while Kin and Konohamaru evolved when I trained Kinwith the others while Maru evolved with a Leaf Stone I found."
The next clip then showed a grouchy Vic.
"Day 44 and it was a great day, the Super Rank Cool Contests was now open and won it while also taking on the Normal Rank Beauty Contests and won it as well, but my good mood was ruined when I saw Team Magma storming in Mt. Pyre, a graveyard if you will, and proceeds to steal from an old couple, I then had to storm there base and destroy said base in the process. Unfortunately, the thing they stole awoken Groudon, the god of land, so they could expand the lands.
I get it that Hoenn is an island but I don't see the world having very large lands is a good idea, and since I know about the other Legendary; I bet Team Aqua is heading for that one and imagine their plans. I know that I should've had told the authorities but knowing them, there are other problems from other Regions as well."
The next clip then showed Vic in another hotel room.
"Day 45 and I am currently here in Mossdeep City after whooping some Team Aqua butt, the Gyms isn't open for two days, but my next Contests will be tomorrow. I have to attend both Hyper Class Cool Contests and Super Class Beauty Contests. I'm just preparing both Bunta and Kakashi for it."
The next clip then showed Vic letting out a sigh of disappointment.
"Day 46 and I lost the Hyper Class, I did win the Super Class but I still feel dejected by it. Maybe tomorrow Gym battle would help."
The next clip then showed Vic with a content smile.
"And it did. Day 47 and I beaten the 7th Gym, it was tough because it was a double battle but I handled it with Bunta and Kin. Tomorrow would also be the next Contests for both Cool and Beauty in the Hyper Class. While I'm not that confident, I'm still gonna try."
The next clip then showed Vic being grumpy again.
"I lost again on both Contests but I am not sad, no I'm angry. I would've have won the Beauty Contests if it wasn't for that stupid Solrock with Explosion. EXPLOSION! That stole my spot and I'm mad about it, next time I'll crush that guy with that Solrock!"
The next clip then showed Vic riding Bunta through the water while holding his Pokénav.
"This is Day 49 and I'm heading to Sky Pillar because Team Aqua and Magma messed up! I was just having a nice day in till I saw Team Aqua riding a stole a submarine and headed underwater to get to Kyogre! I had to follow them after renting some scuba gear and beaten them in Kyogre's lair. We then headed to the surface and I saw the weather constantly changing! I quickly head to Sootopolis City for answers and I'm heading to Sky Pillar so I could awaken Rayquaza! I hope this goes- OH SHI-" Vic's Pokénav slip from his fingers as it showed the owner of it already in the distance but let out Temari to get it.
The next clip then showed Vic with a solemn look.
"This is Day 50 and..." He took a deep breathe. "Choji died after letting us move towards the top of the tower after taking severe damage from a Claydol using Self-Destruct and couldn't keep up with us, so he stayed behind to keep the horde away till I awaken Rayquaza and quickly ran for Choji," He then look down in shame. "I saw him standing there in defiance but I know that his life is already gone. Tomorrow will be his funeral and be put near Mei's grave. So I'll continue my journey after that."
The next clip then showed Vic watching Gai the Machop training.
"Day 52 and I'm just here watching Gai train so he could fill up Choji's spot. The team isn't used with him yet but they slowly got used to him. I'll train for two more days and I'll face the next Gym."
The next clip then showed a relieved Vic.
"Day 54 and I have beaten the last Gym with Bunta, Kakashi, and Maru. I even found a guy to help me evolve Gai to a Machamp because he also need help with the same problem. For now I have to train to get my team ready for the League while preparing for the next Contests."
The next clip then showed a determined Vic.
"Day 56 and I have reached the League, I will have to fight other Trainers here without making a single mistake. I have in my team are Gamabunta the Swampert, Temari the Swellow, Kin the Exploud, Kakashi the Manectric, Gai the Machamp, and Konohamaru the Vileplume. This is the team that would help me with the tournament."
The next clip then showed a nervous Vic.
"Day 62 and I have beaten the tournament, The only thing left to do is beat the Elite Four and Champion."
The next clip then showed Vic back to his home Rustboro.
"Day 66 and I finally beaten the League and I'm back home in Rustboro to finally have a break! First, I have beaten the Dark Elite Four with Gai, Konohamaru, and Kakashi. Then, I have beaten the Ghost Elite Four with Kin, Temari, and Kakashi. Next, I have beaten the Ice Elite Four with Kalashi, Gai, and Bunta. Finally, I have beaten the Dragon Elite Four with Bunta and Kakashi.
Then I was face to face with the Champion and beaten him with only Kakashi and Konohamaru. It was a stressful journey so I would probably do Contests for a while since I am still too young to be in office for. Maybe there will be a new adventure just waiting for me."
The students cheered for his accomplishments till the bell rang.
"Alright kids, that is it for class, just do a three page essay of what you have learned on this and we'll have my wife's story next," Shori said as every student left the room.
Seier walk up to him and said, "The longer we continue this, the more interesting it makes."
He nods and said, "Definitely."
Omake end
And that is it for this chapter.
This story really have come this long and I am happy for this accomplishment.
Also, while I was just having a nice time planning newer stories, I suddenly have an epiphany, I could probably make a sequel for this.
I know that I said this before and ultimately shut it down but I had done something to get this idea. I watched the Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There and thought of it as the sequel for VTR.
I know some of you are asking. "Vic, why don't you just watch the anime you wanted use for your story then?"
Well, I'm a bit impatient to what I watch so I don't really watch either Naruto or BNHA because I don't want to watch every episode and season on it, and there dozens of it.
So I went for Gate since I watched the whole thing and I'm hoping for the third season to come so I could continue it. If not then I'll do the other stories that I planned. I would also rewatch the anime because I'm easily forgetful and I just really want to do a sequel for VTR.
VTR and sequels aside, I know you guys are waiting for AMA to have an update, but is that really people wants to read? I don't mind the reception it gets but I have other stories you know, it's not just AMA. I have other stories you know, read them.
Also this is past me saying, I would also probably put both Watching the Elements and Pokémon Honor and Pride in discontinuation because I'm getting tired with the first and the latter is a gig. I will not do it now because I'm still thinking about but we'll wait and see.
I would also do a revamp for Watching the Elements with only BNHA being the only anime that I will use. I would always either feel annoyed or angry when I watched stories that shows that the characters are hypocrites to their own words. I will show them my OCs and give them a piece of mind. It will be a slow process but I'll enjoy it.
For now, see you on the next chapter.
Vic out Peace.
