Chapter:58 Hidden Truth and Exposing Lies
Snow continues to fall from the night sky overMantle, collecting on roads, sidewalks and rooftops. Pietro and Maria stand outside Pietro's clinic with the door open, allowing civilians to take shelter inside.
"What's going on? Is the heat off in Atlas too?" A woman questioned.
"They wouldn't just turn the heat off…" A man said as Pietro and Maria look at each other. "...Would they?"
Maria and Pietro look up at the City of Atlas, the underside of which is still lit up cyan and purple.
Inside the dining room of the Schnee Manor, the Atlas councilmen continue to talk to James.
"General, since the day you were appointed Headmaster, there have been Atlesians who are skeptical of one man holding two Council seats," Councilwoman Camilla said.
"Yes, which is exactly why we have checks and balances," James assured.
"We're supposed to, but lately you've been running roughshod all over them, making unilateral decisions without us," Councilman Sleet said to him accusingly.
"Councilman, I never intended-"
"What people intend and what they do aren't always the same, General."
Then, butler walks into the room, stops at Jacques' side, and whispers to him.
"Hm?" Jacques said in a hushed tone. "What? For how long?"
The butler whispers again. Jacques' eyes widen.
"My authorization? Check it again!" Jacques said as he took a deep breathe and let it out.
The butler hurriez out of the room, and Councilman Sleet looks at Jacques.
"Councilman Schnee?" He said to him as Jacques tensed up and adjusts his tie and gestures awkwardly.
"Sorry about that, one of the servants have come to say something to me so I didn't hear of what you've said," Jacques apologized as Sleet, Camilla and Robyn stare at him for a moment.
Robyn then turned to Ironwood and said, "I'm not quite done yet. You're afraid of something, General. Aren't you?"
"I think that's pretty obvious, Miss Hill. I'm trying to prevent Atlas from becoming another Beacon, another Haven," James rebutted.
While Robyn speaks, Jacques took a deep breath as he tap his finger on the table, waiting and letting out a sigh of shame.
"Yet, you don't trust your own Council to help you? Operating in secret? These are the actions of somebody who's hiding something," Robyn deducted.
"I'm not hiding anything," James denied it.
"Let's put it to the test then," Robyn said as she stood up and approached the General. "You're all aware of my Semblance. Let's settle it here and now, General Ironwood."
She stands next to Ironwood and holds her hand out to him. He looks at her hand, then at the councilmen.
"Here and now," She said as James looks at her hand again, but before he can do anything, the double doors on the other end of the room noisily swing open.
"Wait!"
Everyone looks toward the door, and Robyn gains a slightly annoyed expression. Weiss along with Vic and Randy are standing in the doorway, with the two boys holding the doors open.
"We have evidence," She said as the three of them walks into the room and stops next to Jacques. "I know who's been framing Ironwood, who rigged the election. And my father does, too. He's reluctantly been working with him."
Weiss sets the Scroll that her mother gave her on the table and taps the screen, causing it to project a hologram screen into the air. The screen depicts a paused video of Jacques and Watts in Jacques' office.
"Is that... Arthur Watts?" Camilla said in shock while Sleet stood up.
"That's impossible! Dr. Watts died in the Paladin Incident years ago," The Councilman said.
"That bastard," Jacques cursed under his breathe in realization as he clenched his fists.
Ironwood stand up and said, "Play it."
Weiss taps the play button on the Scroll, and the floating screen begins playing the video.
"I suppose I do, the embargo really put a huge drop of the company's income because of Ironwood. I just couldn't understand that man's mind, I just hope that the election would solve the situation," The Jacques in the video said as Robyn and James were surprised and shocked from his words.
"What if I said you could have your cake and eat it, too?" The Watts in the video said as Jacques look at him in reluctance.
"What did you have in mind?"
Sleet watches the video in stunned silence and sits back down. Ironwood begins walking across the room toward Jacques.
"What's in it for me?" V. Jacques questioned.
"A seat on the council. All I need is your login credentials for the Atlas network," V. Watts said as V. Jacques is now wary about this and tensed up. Winter narrows her eyes and waited in anticipation. "You promise to make Ironwood's life a waking nightmare, and I will guarantee you victory at the polls by giving the voters down in Mantle a little… "digital push", if you will."
Robyn watches with widened eyes, then grips a nearby chair and narrows her eyes angrily.
"Tempting as it is... How can I be sure that you won't stab me in the back," V. Jacques said as Ironwood comes to a stop near the trio.
"Enough," James ordered but Vic quickly intervene.
"Wait, Weiss fast forward it," Vic said as Weiss fast forward it to the part where Jacques still sitting on his chair till he threw his glass on the floor, which shocked the rest of the occupants, and sits down in shame. Weiss then paused the video and the floating screen disappear.
Jacques just stayed on his seat, waiting for a lashing that he knows would happen.
In Mantle, people have begun shouting, and someone in the crowd screams "I hate you!" Paying no mind to the commotion, Watts catches a snowflake in his palm and then crushes it.
Someone breaks glass nearby, and he turns to look. A man has shattered the front window of a shop called Dust in the Wind. On the other side of the window is a display of very large Dust crystals and a pair of small signs. The sign on the left, sitting above a tray of purple Dust crystals, says "Sale on Gravity Dust". The sign on the right says "Premium Dust XL". The man grabs two Fire Dust crystals.
The citizens have started a bonfire in the street and are throwing wooden furniture into the fire. The man who looted the Dust shop runs over with his Dust crystals.
"Atlas killed the heat on purpose!"
"They'll do anything to control us."
The two drunks from before stand back and watch their fellow citizens, and the looter tosses one of the crystals into the fire. There is a small sound as the crystal enters the flames, and the fire briefly bursts outward, growing taller and brighter.
A pair of Atlas soldiers watch from down the road, and one of them activates her communicator.
"The situation here is getting out of control. Please advise."
Further down that same road, Watts stands around the corner of a building, peeking out at the Atlas soldiers. Behind him, Tyrian drops down from somewhere above and chuckles.
In the Schnee Manor dining room, Jacques is sitting in a chair on the side of the room, with Winter, Ironwood, the councilmen, Robyn and Clover standing around him. Team RWBY, Randy, Vic and Penny are standing together at the end of the room. Clover receives contact on his communicator and puts his fingers to it, listening.
"You know how dangerous that was, but why did you do it," Ironwood demands as Clover glances at him and then walks out of the room, continuing to listen to his communicator.
"I know it was and I regret it," Jacques said.
"You'll regret it alright, now that I know Arthur Watts is alive. Working with a madman like Tyrian Callows, it would be easy for someone like him to coordinate an unthinkably heinous act like the one in that warehouse. Watts designed Mantle's entire security network. He used that access to hack the surveillance system and frame someone else for the job," James counted the mistakes the CEO did. Everyone but Jacques looks at Penny, who looks away sadly. Ruby and Vic places their hand on Penny's shoulders. Ironwood looks at Jacques again. "All while stealing an election."
Ironwood moves closer to Jacques, who becomes was still calm from the lashing.
"And once you became a Councilman, your newly granted clearance gave him a..." He slammed his hands onto the chair's arms. "...backdoor into Atlas' secure network. But you probably hadn't even considered that, had you?"
"The people that died that night, their blood is on your hands," Robyn said.
"Jacques Schnee must be tried, not only for treason, but as an accesory to murder," Sleet said with finality.
"Alright! Alright! I know that I was at fault and I should've done something not doing it, but I was already too late," Jacques said with regret.
"Late?!" Robyn yelled in rage as she grabs the nearest chair and slams it into the wall. Penny hugs Vic for comfort, and Jacques, Ironwood, Winter and the councilmen look at Robyn. Ironwood straightens up.
"What else will he be able to do with the access Jacques' given him?" Camilla asked.
"With enough time… whatever he wants," Ironwood said.
Jacques, Camilla, Sleet and Ironwood's Scrolls all buzz and ping, with Jacques' Scroll lighting up the pocket of his coat. The sudden noise and sensation causes Jacques to quickly pick it up. Ironwood, Camilla and Sleet withdraw their Scrolls. Camilla deploys her Scroll's screen, which displays an emergency alert, and Sleet answers a call on his.
"Wait… wait, what? What do you mean the heat has gone off?" Sleet said in shock as Weiss gasps and puts her hand to her lips. Blake and Randy looks worried, and Yang looks somewhat angry.
"That man has gone to far," Jacques said in anger as Winter slammed her arms onto his chair.
"Then get the heating grid up and running again," She demanded.
"Watts would've already blocked us out, it is now impossible," Jacques said.
Ironwood has been staring at the alert on his Scroll's screen, which says "! Emergency Alert!" and "Atlas Council Security Notification". He lowers his Scroll and turns away, while Robyn walks over to a window and places her hand on it, looking outside.
"Without heat down there... people are going to die," Councilman Sleet said in dread.
Vic, Penny and Ruby look at each other worriedly. Ironwood has his hand to his jaw, covering his lips. Ruby walks over to him.
"General Ironwood? How bad is it?" Ruby asked in worry.
Ironwood types something into his Scroll and then scrolls through things, one being a screen that displays a shape similar to the Amity Communications Tower.
"He's using Jacques' credentials. We can follow that activity on the network. If he's found his way into the Amity system…" Jaune muttered as Robyn turns her head and looks at Ironwood. "No, the secret is safe. For now. But if he learns about Amity, she learns about Amity."
While he speaks, Ironwood walks past Ruby and Robyn, both of whom watch him.
"Can you block his access?" Weiss suggested as he walks past her, Blake and Yang, swiping through pages that keep bringing up an "Access Denied" alert.
"It's too late. He's already starting to lock us out," James said in frustration.
"Then he must've had also kicked out the Pory-System," Vic said as he crossed his arm.
"Can we trace him somehow? Find out where he's hiding?" Blake suggested.
"He's going to be mobile. We need his access point. We need to get him out in the open," Ironwood said.
"Okay, so let me get this straight," Robyn said as Ironwood stops, and he, Blake, Yang, Weiss, Penny and Randy look at Robyn. She holds up her hand and then does a finger gun gesture as she speaks. "How do a disgraced scientist and disappeared serial killer find each other, General? Why would they target you? And why are you working so hard to hide the Amity Communications Tower from them?"
Ironwood look at her in surprise, "You know?"
In Mantle, an even larger crowd has begun to gather around the bonfire, with more people running toward it. Pietro and Maria exit the clinic and watch worriedly.
"Citizens, please disperse. For your own safety, please disperse," An AK-200 said as five more approach some of the civilians and then stand still. "For your own safety, please-"
A pair of civilians wielding metal pipes suddenly attack the front to AK-200s and begin beating the fallen robots with the pipes. Nearby, Pietro watches, horrified. The Grimm sirens begin going off, and the street lamps turn red. A large herd of Megoliaths are charging toward a break in Mantle's wall. A group of Mantas fly toward the herd.
"Atlas, Manta Team Delta - beginning first run," One of the pilots said as one of the Mantas fires a barrage of missiles at the Megoliaths, but the Grimm appear to be unaffected. The Mantas continue firing missiles at the Megoliaths, while a small group of Sabyrs run ahead and attack the AK-200s guarding the hole in the wall, quickly knocking the robots down. A pair of Atlas soldiers are stationed atop the wall, firing at Grimm that approach it, and they watch the Sabyrs run through the streets. The soldiers hear a screeching noise, look back, and then duck down and cover their heads as a raptor/dragon like Grimm flies overhead.
Robyn stands face to face with Ironwood and said, "I used to think you were hiding something to protect yourself. But I can tell there's something much bigger going on here. Now I think it's to protect something else. Us… Atlas, maybe even all of Remnant. And you're afraid of what might happen if you tell the truth."
Ironwood frowns. The double doors on the other end of the room swing open, with Clover, Oscar and U. Pichu on the other side.
"General, the Grimm are all over Mantle," Clover said as he and Oscar hurry across the room to stand near Ironwood. "The air fleet's doing everything they can, but they can't easily target Grimm in the city without risking casualties."
"This... this is what I was afraid would happen," James said as he puts his hand to his jaw and walks away.
"Sir, we need ground support now," Clover said.
"What we need is to start evacuating Mantle. If it's completely overrun, it's not going to be safe anywhere. Use the fleet to get-"
"If I move the fleet, then Atlas is vulnerable," James cuts Robyn off. "I… I tried to keep the kingdom safe. And now we're losing everything."
Ironwood places his right hand on the wall and leans on that arm, covering his face with his left hand. Oscar approaches him, resting his hand on the Relic of Knowledge.
"General? Earlier, you asked for my advice," Oscar said.
"I wanted Ozpin's advice," He pointed out.
"And his advice probably would've been to keep your secrets. When we first got here, you already knew that wasn't the right course. You had a new plan."
"It's time to give up on that plan," James said as he straightens up, lowering his hand from his face. "It's all falling apart."
"The panic you were worried about? It's already happening. The secrets you're keeping? They're about to be in the open anyway. It's time," Oscar said as Ironwood looks at him. "Tell the truth."
"You're not alone."
Ironwood looks over to see that Ruby and Vic have approached him with encouraging smiles.
"We can do this together," Ruby said in comfort.
"We don't want to panic already, do we?" Vic said as Ironwood nods and smiles.
"Thank you. Oscar, I think it's time you get back to theAcademy," James said.
"I think you're right," Oscar said as he rests his hand on the Relic again. While Ironwood speaks, Winter brings out her Scroll and starts using it, heading over to him.
"Miss Hill, Councilman Sleet, Councilwoman Camilla, there are some things you need to know about. Let's figure out how we can help Mantle… together," James said as Winter holds up her Scroll, with "Transport Authorized" displayed at the top of the screen.
"I've called a transport," Winter said.
"What about Watts and Tyrian?" Yang asked in worry
"Yeah, we don't want to have those two continue mess things around," Randy added.
"You leave them to me. Right now, you're needed down below," James said.
Ruby steps toward the others and poses with her hands on her hips, while Winter watches, smiling.
"Alright everybody, it's time to do our jobs. All of us," Ruby said as Weiss, Blake, Yang, Vic and Randy look at Penny, who smiles.
"What she said. Let's make it happen, Huntsmen," Clover said as he Clover heads out of the room with Team RWBY, two members of Team VRMN, Penny, Oscar and Winter following him. In the hallway, the group passes by the dark-haired waitress who had been serving the council earlier that night. As she watches them go, she narrows her dark green eyes and frowns.
The last remaining party guests run out the manor's front door, which Marrow is holding open. Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Mel and Nomad head outside, as well. In the foyer, Ruby runs to catch up with Oscar and U. Pichu.
"Oscar?" Ruby called out to him as Oscar turns to face Ruby, who nearly bumps into him.
""I-"" The two awkwardly interrupt and speak over each other.
"Oh," Ruby said as she awkwardly laughs.
"Oh, you first," Oscar said.
"Sorry. I didn't meant to interrupt-"
"You didn't, actually."
"Um... I just wanted to say uh-"
"I had thought that maybe-"
""We should tell Ironwood,"" The two laugh awkwardly while Ruby's teammates run past.
"Well, uh…" Ruby awkwardly laughs again and said. "I guess we're on the same page, huh?"
"Guess so. He's finally choosing the truth over fear. We should do the same," Oscar said.
"I'll tell him. I'm the one who chose to keep it from him in the first place."
"Ruby! Transport's leaving," Marrow called out as he points out the door with his thumb, and Ruby waves her hands to him.
"I think you're needed elsewhere," Oscar said as he starts heading to the dining room.
"You're sure?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, I've got it," He said as he gives her a thumbs up and continues on his way, and she heads to the front door. They both stop and turn to each other, once again accidentally speaking over each other.
"Good luck in there/Good luck down there." They laugh awkwardly, and Ruby does a finger gun gesture at him with both hands before running out the door.
"Ugh, kids," Marrow groans as he then walks out the door.
Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Team VRMN, Qrow and the Ace Operatives fly toward Mantle aboard a Manta that is being piloted by Harriet. Clover looks out the windshield, then turns around to address everyone sitting in the passenger area in the back.
"Alright, everyone. I need to stress to our new Huntsmen and Huntresses, we are prioritizing citizen safety overkilling Grimm. Got it?" Clover reminded them as Teams RWBY, JNPR and VRMN nod their heads in acknowledgement. Nora looks at Ren, who has his head turned away and his eyes closed. She sets her hand on top of his and grips it, and he curls his fingers to grip her fingertips. They look at each other and then look down. Yang watches them. Blake looks at Yang, who looks back at her, then turns her eyes away and smiles. Randy saw this with a raised eyebrow but then shrugs.
High in the air, a Teryx trails the Manta, uttering a small screech.
Sleet, Camilla and Robyn stand out in the hallway in the Schnee Manor.
"She can control Grimm?" Councilman Sleet questioned.
"Ironwood wouldn't lie about something like this," Councilwoman Camilla said.
"Do you really think he can stop her?"
Robyn looks at the door of the dining room.
Inside the dining room, Ironwood is sitting at the table with a stunned expression. Oscar is sitting to his right with U. Pichu sitting on a chair near the table.
"She… can't be killed. Jinn told you this?" James questioned.
"She showed us when we asked what Oz was hiding," Oscar said as Ironwood looks distraught.
"Why? Why would Oz keep this from us? From the people who trusted him?"
"He was worried you would lose hope," The farmhand answered as Ironwood turns away a little, resting his hand over his mouth. "We're sorry we kept it from you, too. We didn't know who to trust. I figured you should know before you make any… sacrifices."
.
..
...
"Sir? What are you gonna do?" Oscar asked as Ironwood lowers his hand from his face, uncertain at first but collected himself.
"I... All we can do for the moment is what we can to save Mantle. That's what's in front of us," The General answered as Oscar smiled from this.
"He'd be proud of you. You're bringing the hope that Atlas was meant to inspire. A city in the sky is held to a higher standard."
"You say that... like you were ther-"
Ironwood's Scroll, which is sitting on the table, beeps. He taps the screen.
"Our transports are here. We should move," James said as Oscar nods, stands up and heads for the door with U. Pichu running up to his shoulder. As soon as his back is turned to Ironwood, his smile turns into a frown.
"Oscar," He called out to him as he pushes his chair away from the table and turns it sideways so he can look at Oscar. "No more surprises, all right? I'm not sure I could take it."
Oscar, having turned to face Ironwood, smiles a little and said, "You and me both."
In the skies above Mantle, a Teryx lands on the front end of the Ace-Ops' Manta and looks through the windshield. It roars and spreads its wings. Marrow looks into the back of the ship.
"Hang on!" Marrow yelled in assurance as Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Blake, Yang, Vic, Mel and Nomad have buckled their seatbelts. Jaune is leaning on his sword with his eyes closed in concentration. Elm holds onto Qrow and Clover, activating her Semblance to keep her footing. Weiss creates black-and-purple glyphs under herself, Ruby, Randy and Vine to keep the four of them steady.
Harriet begins making the Manta perform maneuvers, leaning and spinning in an attempt to knock the Teryx off. Inside, Jaune holds back vomit while Pyrrha tries to calm him down by rubbing his back, and Ren looks at Nora, holding onto her right arm.
The Teryx lets go with its hind legs and swings itself to stand on top of the Manta. It then makes its way down the right side of the ship and swings its right hand at the ship. Blake, Yang, Mel and Nomad hear a noise and lean away from each other, just in time to avoid the Teryx's claws as they slash straight through the wall. Yang yelps, looking terrified.
"I can't shake it!" Harriet yelled in frustration as another Teryx swoops down, slams its hind claws through the ship's right wing, and flies away, causing an explosion in the ship's wing. Debris flies off the damaged wing, which begins flaming and smoking, and the ship becomes unsteady.
"I don't think we're staying airborne," Marrow pointed out.
"It's time to go," Qrow said.
"You have your team assignments," Clover said as he heads over to the ship door, flicking his clover medal with his thumb. "Let's go."
He hits the airship's door, making it slide open. On the other side of the door is the Teryx's head, and it screeches at Clover, who confidently stands with his back to it and a smirk on his face. Half of the damaged ship wing snaps off and slams into the Teryx, knocking it off the ship. Jaune, Ren, Weiss and Nora jump out of the ship one by one.
"Harriet, don't stay too long," Elm said.
"Yeah, thanks for the tip," Harriet said sarcastically.
Marrow, Yang and Blake jump out of the ship. Elm and Clover clasp hands with each other, and then Elm jumps up, grabs onto the ship, and swings herself out. Vic and his team, except Nomad, released their flyers as Charles glowed and transformed to a Corviknight, the four trainers then jump on their flyers, with Nomad riding with Randy, and flew off. Glass from the front of the ship shatters and flies backward toward Clover, who shields his face with his arms. Harriet is standing on the pilot seat with herweapondeployed, having shattered the windshield. She looks back at Ruby and smirks.
"Try to keep up, kid," Harriet said as Ruby laughs and grins excitedly. Harriet uses her Semblance to jump out the broken windshield, run along the top of the ship and jump off the tail, while Ruby follows her, flying through the air with her own Semblance.
The ship begins descending toward Mantle, and Qrow opens the other door. Clover salutes him and falls backward from the ship.
Qrow scoffed with a smile and said, "Show off."
Qrow leaps from the ship and does a flip before letting himself freefall.
In the foyer of the Schnee Manor, Whitley is sitting at the bottom of the main staircase with Neige beside him as he stares sadly out the open front door.
"Hey easy! You don't have to hold that tight."
Atlas soldiers are escorting Jacques to a prison transport airship, while another soldier speaks with Willow.
"I can walk by myself, thank you," Jacques said as Willow turns and looks at Whitley, who gets up and runs up the stairs with Niege on his leg. Willow turns back around, looking down sadly. The soldiers continue escorting Jacques, whose wrists are bound in front of him by a bolas.
"I can get myself in," Jacques said as he willingly went inside and and one of the soldiers slams the door shut.
While this happens, the dark-haired waitress exits the Schnee Manor, and as the ship flies away, she begins to walk with her hands behind her back.
In a hallway somewhere, the dark-haired waitress enters the passcode 1210 next to a door. The number pad beeps in confirmation, and the door slides open. She glances down the hall both ways and then enters, walking over to a glass wall with a view of the City of Atlas, where she stands with her hand on her hip. She hears a voice behind her, and a light turns on.
"Huh. You're back early."
Cinder is leaning against a wall while Roman sits on a chair with Bandit by his side and Neo's Stufful on his lap. The waitress rolls her eyes, then turns to face Cinder, who takes a few steps forward.
"Tell me you found what we've been looking for," Cinder said as the The waitress strikes a sassy pose, bringing her index finger to her cheek in a feigned thinking gesture. As she does so, pink energy resembling clusters of glass shards moves up her body, dispelling the illusion and revealing her to be Neo. Her Pokémon then saw her as it ran up to her and she catch it in her arms. Neo then look at Cinder and nods.
Omake:
Four Champion Tournament Part 1
In one of Atlas' training rooms, the room itself has a built-in spectators booth with Team RWBY, Teams JNPR, Qrow, the Ace-Ops, Ironwood, Winter, and Penny.
Just above them is a built-in announcers booth with Mel and Nomad inside.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to our three part Pokémon Tournament with four Trainers of higher levels!" Mel announced as the spectators clap and cheers.
"He means us," Nomad added as Mel elbowed him.
Mel then cleared his throat and said, "On my right! He is a man that is born in the flames, a beacon of Victory, a survivor of the dreaded Locke Curse, and Champion of Hoenn! VICTOR POOOOOLAAAAARIIIIIIS!"
Vic then entered the room as his friends cheered him on while Penny wave a flag with his emblem on it while the rests either clap or do nothing. He beat his chests and raised his right hand to the air.
"Then on my left! He is a ghosts that prowls in the night, a man that can't be unmasked by any means possible, the Undefeated, and Champion of Galar! RANDY RYUUUUNOOOOOSUUUKEEEEE!"
Randy then entered the room, jogging, as he wave to the crowd and they did the same thing with Vic.
The two Trainers then took their place as the room began to shift as huge blocks rose up to form mountain-like areas.
"Maru let's go!/ John! Battle ready!" The both of them called out as they threw their Pokéballs and Konohamaru the Vileplume and John the now transformed Steelix appeared on the battlefield.
The audience wait in anticipation till Nomad shouted.
"BEGIN!"
(Play the RSE Gym Battle Music)
"Maru! Stun Spore!" Vic called out as Konohamaru shakes his body to spread yellow spores around the battlefield.
"Quick! Dig!" John immediately went underground to avoid the spores while Konohamaru stood still waiting in anticipation.
"Use Petal Dance to defend yourself!" Konohamaru then surrounds himself with pink petals before John came out below him, took damage but John did as well with dig. "Now Giga Drain!"
"Keep him away with Steel Beam!" John quickly fired a metallic beam and blasted away the Flower Pokémon before he use his attack, but have to deal with the recoil.
"Stun Spore when he's recovering!" Konohamaru then let out more of the yellow spores and directly hit the Iron Snake Pokémon.
"Try ignoring it and use Stone Edge!" John then slammed his tail on the ground as large pointed rocks came out of the floor.
"Petal Dance!" The Flower Pokémon quickly surrounded himself with petals as the Rock Type hits the wall of petals but didn't hit anything like Konohamaru wasn't even there.
Randy caught up to this as he look to see Konohamaru preparing to use Giga Drain and ordered, "Steel Beam!"
John quickly fired upwards and it launched Konohamaru towards the ceiling with a loud crash and eventually stopped the attack.
Konohamaru then fell out of the ceiling and landed on the ground face first which showed that he has fainted.
"Konohamaru the Vileplume is unable to battle! John the Steelix wins!" Mel announced as everyone began to applaude for them. Vic quickly return Konohamaru and readied his other Pokéball.
"Gai let's go!" Vic threw his Pokéball and let out the Superpower Pokémon as he roared and began to flex for the crowd.
"Battle commence!"
"Quick use Dig!" John then digs underground and Gai waited in anticipation.
Vic look around carefully till the ground began to rumble and the earth below Gai began to move.
"Revenge!"
John then came out of the ground and hit Gai, but the Superpower Pokémon gain a red Aura and retaliated with a powerful punch to the chin that sends John back for meters.
Mel and Nomad lean over to look at John and saw that he fainted from the single blow.
"John the Steelix is unable to battle! Gai the Machamp wins with one strong punch!" Mel announced as the crowd cheers. Randy then return John to his Pokéball and readied another.
"Drago! Battle ready!" Randy then let out Drago the Dragapult as he let out a loud screech as the battle proceeds.
Vic then remembered Gai's moves and returned him and grabbed another Pokéball.
"Why did he switched out?" Marrow questioned along the rest of the Ace-Ops as the one's who knew kept watching so Penny explains.
"From what I remembered from Ms. and Mr. Suesei's class, Ghost are immune to both Normal and Fighting Type Moves, and I remembered that all of Gai's Moves are both of them," The Ace-Ops look at each other then to her.
"Can you give us some tips after this?" Clover asked.
"Sure," Penny said without hesitation.
Back in the battlefield, Vic readied his Pokéball.
"Temari let's go!" He then threw it as the Swallow Pokémon came out and quickly went into the air.
"Drago! Dragon Darts!" Drago then launched the Dreepys on his skull.
"Double Team!" Temari quickly made clones of herself as Drago shoots down every clone with the Dreepys returning to him as the destroyed clones left a dust cloud.
"Aerial Ace!" Temari then came out of cloud and rushed to the Steatlth Pokémon in high-speed.
"Quick Phantom Force!" Drago quickly sank into the shadows to evade the speeding bird before she could hit him dead on.
Temari looked around warily till Vic saw something above her and looked shock.
"Look-"
"Dragon Darts!" A barrage of Dreepys then rain above Temari and pelted her to the ground as she tried to get up, but Randy wasn't done yet. "Draco Meteor!"
Drago then fired an orange ball that instantly exploded to pieces of rocks filled with dragon energy and began to rain down at Temari and hits her straight on as a cloud of dust came after.
The dust cloud then cleared away to reveal Temari very weakened from the many things she took.
"Finish it now with Dragon Darts!"
"FLY!"
Drago then open fire but Temari manage to take to the air and head straight at the Steatlth Pokémon in full speed while evading the attack. Drago didn't have enough time before Temari crashed at him and caused a dust cloud after it.
Temari then came out of it and stayed in the air while Vic let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly she was shot down and slowly crashing down to the ground.
"Temari!" Vic shouted in horror as the Swallow Pokémon crashed to the ground knocked out.
Drago then came out of the ceiling, clearly took damage, as he float down in front of Randy.
"Temari the Swellow is unable to battle! Drago the Dragapult wins!" The audience began to applaude while Vic returned Temari to her Pokéball and grabbed another.
"Victor already lose two Pokémons while Randy loses one, what will happen next!" Randy announced as Vic took a deep breathe and let it out.
"Kin let's go!" The Loud Noise Pokémon then come out which caused some confusion from the audience since Kin only has one non Normal Type Move. The battle then proceeds.
"Drago! Draco Meteor!" Drago then fired another orange ball but into the air as it began to rain down to the ground.
Undeterred, Vic quickly ordered, "Take all of them down with Hyper Voice!"
Kin then stomp the ground as she took a very deep breath and released a loud roar that destroyed every meteor in sight.
If Randy was shock then he hides it behind his back.
"Dragon Darts!" Drago then let out another barrage of Dreepys that heads to Kin in high speed.
"Use Shadow Ball!" Kin then put her hands together as a ball of ghostly energy formed between her palm and threw it at the incoming attack. It stopped some of them but the ones that survived kept coming at Kin and took it head on.
"Dragon Darts again!" Drago fired another barrage to the Loud Noise Pokémon, but he looked very winded doing it.
"Hyper Voice to the ground!" Kin then fired downwards as she lift herself of the ground with her own Move to dodge the incoming attack.
"Keep firing!" Drago kept shooting as almost all of the Dreepys surrounded Kin.
"Use Hyper Voice but use the holes on your body!" Kin took a deep breath as she hold it in and the many holes on her body let out blasts of sounds out of them and took the Dreepys down. "Now Shadow Ball!"
Kin then fired at the Shadow Ball as it head straight to Drago in full speed.
"Quick! Dodge it!" But Drago was so tired from firing continously and took the hit head on.
"Finish it with Shadow Ball!"
"Phantom Force!" Drago quickly sinks to the ground before Kin's attack hits him as Kin waited in anticipation.
"Use Hyper Voice when he attacks," Kin nods as she continued waiting.
Suddenly, a barrage of Dreepys came from every sides and angles as all headed to Kin. Kin then did what she did before with Hyper Voice and took all of them down but also caused a dust cloud to surround her. Then something rushed at Kin's back as the dust cleared away to reveal Drago clinging on Kin's back.
"Shake him off!" Kin quickly tried to get Drago off her but the Steatlth was tedious and kept himself away from the Loud Noise Pokémon's grasp.
"Now Dragon Darts!" Drago then fired at Kin close range as Kin let out a cry of pain before being sent back by a few meters because of the attack.
"Kin!" Vic called in horror as Kin landed face first on the ground in front of him.
Before Mel could announce, Kin, in quick desperation, fired a Shadow Ball and hits Drago and knocked him out as well.
"Both Pokémons are unable to battle! It's a tie!"
"Wow, didn't know that could happen," Harriet said.
"Many things could happen in a battle," Vine said to her in a sage like tone.
Both Vic and Randy then get their Pokémons back in their Pokéballs and grabbed another.
"Kakashi let's go!/ Lanaya! Battle ready!" The two then let out their Pokémons as Kakashi the Manectric and Lanaya the Gardevoir are now in the battlefield. The battle continues again.
"Use Quick Attack!" Kakashi then charge in speed that would make Ruby and Harriet jealous as he struck Lanaya on her chests.
"Use Dazzling Gleam!" Lanaya's body then glowed as rays of light burst out of her and struck Kakashi dead on his entire body.
The Discharge Pokémon skids back from the hit and shook it off to let out a growl.
"Use Thunderbolt!" Kakashi's body then let out some sparks and shoots a bolt of lightning at Lanaya.
"Counter with Moon Blast!" Lanaya then fired a ball of Fairy energy at the bolt of lightning, and the two attacks collided without anything happening after.
"Now Shock Wave!" Kakashi then fired a quick bolt of lightning that heads straight to Lanaya.
"Use Psychic to defend!" Lanaya then used her telekinetic powers to control the blocks around her as a shield. "Now send it to them!"
"Quick! Use Thunder!"
Lanaya then shoots the blocks forward while Kakashi let out a devastating Thunder to break them to pieces and caused a dust cloud.
"Now use Quick Attack!" Kakashi them came out of it and hit Lanaya again with immense speed.
"Recover with Draining Kiss!" While a little hesitant, Lanya quickly grab Kakashi and attempts to drain his stamina to recover by kissing his cheek.
"Get away with Thunderbolt!" Kakashi quickly covered himself with electricity and shocked Lanaya, but before getting kissed by the cheek and got his stamina drained yet damaging Lanaya to counter the heal.
The two back away from one another as they waited for their next commands.
"Now Thunder!"
"Get out of there with Psychic!" Lanaya then used her telekinetic powers to get away from a dangerous lightning bolt that hit the spot where she once were.
"Follow it with Quick Attack!" Kakashi then immediately struck her out of the air in a blink of an eye as Lanaya crashed to the ground. "Now finish it with Thunder!"
"Use Psychic!"
Lanaya quickly caught Kakashi with her telekinesis but Kakashi immediately fired his attack at Lanaya to stop her throwing him either to the wall or floor.
She stood stand buy is clearly weakened as she struggled to stand on her own feet.
"Now Quick Attack!" Kakashi then rams her again as she gain a look of shock before getting sent crashing to a wall.
"Lanaya!" Randy called out in worry as he look at her and saw that she was knocked out.
"Lanaya the Gardevoir is unable to battle! Kakashi the Manectric wins!" The audience then cheered again as Randy returns Lanaya in her Pokéball, before giving a quick thank you as he then grab another Pokéball.
"Charles! Battle ready!" The Raven Pokémon then appeared on the battlefield as Kakashi felt pressured by Charles' presence. The battle then continues.
"Kakashi! Thunder!"
"Dodge it!"
Kakashi then fired his attack but Charles was naturally faster and evaded the attack with ease while the Discharge Pokémon looked winded after his attack.
"Then use Shock Wave!"
"Counter with Air Slash!"
Kakashi then fired his attack but Charles continously flap his wings as blades of wind were fired from it, which countered Kakashi's attack and struck him.
"Get close with Quick Attack!"
"Go for Drill Peck!"
Kakashi then tried to get close but Charles went up higher in the air as the Raven Pokémon tucks in his wings and swoops down while spinning in a corkscrew motion. Charles hits Kakashi in his belly as the two went careening to the ground and Charles quickly went to the air while Kakashi crashes into the ground.
Vic grits his teeth while Kakashi stood up, he looked at Charles carefully and ordered.
"Quick Attack again!"
"Drill Peck!"
The two then charge to one another but Vic has a plan.
"Now spin!" Kakashi then began to spin mid air as he and Charles collided but instead of pushing one another, the went to the side after the collision. "Now Thunder!"
Kakashi then stop spinning fired his attack at Charles and hits him on his back and shocks him.
"Charles!" Randy called in worry as he watched the Raven Pokémon struggling to fly with leftover electricity around him. He was Paralyzed.
"Now Thunderbolt!"
"Use Air Slash!"
Charles tried to attack but the paralysis began to active and stop his attack while getting struck by Kakashi's attack.
"Thunderbolt again!"
"Dodge it and use Brave Bird!"
Charles quickly evaded the attack as he tuck his wings in and swoops down before opening up his wings again when he was close to the ground and hits Kakashi dead on which caused a dust cloud. Charles came out of it but didn't left unscathed.
The dust then cleared away to reveal Kakashi still trying to stand up after that attack.
"Finish it with Steel Wing!"
"Thunder!"
Charles' wings then gain a shiny look as he swoop onto the Discharge Pokémon while Kakashi charges up. Then Charles struck Kakashi on his face but Kakashi also unleashes his attack and struck the Raven Pokémon in close range and caused a dust cloud around them.
The dust cloud then cleared to reveal Kakashi and Charles knocked out.
"Both Pokémons are unable to battle! It's a tie!" The crowd then waited in anticipation as it is now up to two Pokémons on each side. Both Trainers return their Pokémons and grabbed another Pokéball.
"Gai let's go!/ Yunero! Battle ready!" The two then let out their Pokémons as Vic was confused with Randy's choice.
"You know what my other Pokémon is so why him?" Vic questioned as Randy let out a sigh of irritation.
"Let's just say that David want to end it with a bang," Randy said as the Secret Agent Pokémon rub his forehead because of this, they could even see Blake facepalming from this.
"Okay," Vic said but was still confused.
The battle then continues.
"Yunero! Acrobatics!"
Yunero then move to one place to another in a blink of an eye as he head straight to Gai. The Superpower Pokémon tried to keep up with his speed and ready to put his guard up, but he was surprised when Yunero suddenly appeared in front of him and delivered a kick to his gut, a side kick to his chest, then an axe kick to the head.
Gai staggered from this but he held on and raised his arms to prepare his defense.
"He got some high defenses," Randy muttered as Yunero waited for his next command.
"Now! Use Facade!"
"Use Liquidation!"
The two then slam with one another as Gai did it with his might while Yunero did it by having water surrounding him. They clashed and quickly stop to back away as Yunero was slightly hurt from it while Gai has barely got a scratch.
"Now Snipe Shot!" Yunero then point at Gai and fired a stream of water.
"Dodge it!" Gai quickly went behind a pillar to not get hit. "Now rush in with Revenge!"
"Don't hit him! Just run!" Yunero then ran as Gai began to chase him through the surrounding pillars.
Yunero swiftly ran through the forests of pillars while Gai destroys every pillar on sight to get to the Secret Agent Pokémon.
"Now strike with Hydro Cannon!" Yunero quickly jump on a pillar and quickly turn to Gai to fire a powerful stream of water. Gai quickly stop and put his guard up while the attack send him off his feet and into a wall.
The attack stop as Gai stood up with a grunt and cracks his neck and knuckles to give out some satisfying pops while Yunero had enough time to recharge.
"Now Acrobatics!"
Yunero then began to zoom around while heading to Gai as he raised his arms. When Yunero suddenly appeared in front of him, Vic took it.
"Revenge!"
With a hard kick to Gai's stomach, the Superpower Pokémon delivered a powerful punch to Yunero's face and the two were sent careening to opposite sides of the room knocked out.
"Both Pokémons are unable to battle! It's a tie again!" This was it, it all counts to their last Pokémon, the audience's feet grew restless and is waiting in anticipation.
"This is it," Vic muttered as he returned Gai and took out his last Pokéball.
"You better not fail me now, the streak is on the line," Randy muttered as he returns his Starter and grabbed his last Pokéball.
"Let's go Bunta!/ David! Battle ready!" Then the Mud Fish and Striker Pokémon are now in the battlefield with fires of determination in their eyes.
The last battle then proceeds.
.
..
...
Not a single one yet move, just waiting for the other to take the first move. The audience grew restless as they wait in anticipation.
.
..
...
"Waterfall!/ Fire Punch!"
In a burst of speed, David was already in front of Bunta as his left fists was on fire and Bunta covered himself in water.
Their attacks collided and the a cloud of steam were created between them as the two back away.
"Now Flame Charge!" David then charge in while covered in flames as rush at Bunta in haste.
"Use Surf!" Bunta created a ball of water as he then slam it to the ground to create a massive wave.
Seeing this, David used the pillars to avoid the wave and jump off it to strike Bunta from above. Bunta took the hit as he staggered back while David jumps away to gain some distance.
"Quick! Use Waterfall!" Bunta quickly collected himself as he covered himself in water charged at David.
"Flame Charge!" David used the same move again but he moves much faster than before and collided with Bunta again while a veil of steam came between them again.
"Earthquake!" Bunta then slam his fists on the ground which caused the flooring to rise up and hit David away from him.
"Use Pyro Ball!" David recovered mid-air as he used a pebble he kept and kicked it towards Bunta and turns to a small fireball.
"Ice Beam!" Bunta then fire a beam of ice at David's attack and pierced through while heading straight for David.
"Flame Charge!" David quickly covered himself in flames and pierced through the icy beam with his speed have gotten faster and headed straight for Bunta.
"Waterfall!" Bunta then charge in to face the attack as they collided again followed by a veil of steam.
The two quickly quickly disengage and went back in front of their respective trainers.
"This is all for nothing," Vic said as he grabbed his Key Stone poured all of his emotions in it. "Let's do this Bunta! Beyond Evolution! MEGA EVOLVE!"
Bunta's Mega Stone reaches from this and changed to his Mega Form and roared with increased strength while the one's who didn't know this watch in awe.
"Now this is a challenge," Rnady said as David looked more determined. "But it's far from over."
"Then let's go!" Vic shouted as Bunta waited for a command. "Waterfall!"
Bunta then surrounds himself with water again and rushed to David in hopes of hitting the speedy rabbit.
"Flame Charge!" David then charge in as well with even greater speed as the two collided as Bunta's giant fists counters David's velocity yet David's speed counters Bunta's powerful hits, and caused a huge amount of steam to come out between them. "Now Fire Punch!"
Bunta didn't even saw the fiery fists coming right at his face and followed by another.
"Earthquake!"
"Jump into the air!"
Bunta slam his massive fists to the ground and caused the ground to shake again but David quickly jump away and landed on a pillar.
"Blast Burn!" Flames then surrounded David as he kicked a pebble into the air, which turns into a small fireball, but the flames around him got absorbed into the fireball and grew larger in size. David then jumps into the air while spinning as he then kick the fireball hard and sent it careening to Bunta.
"Use Surf!" Bunta then created a giant wave to counter the burning ball of destruction but it went through and hits Bunta straight on his face, yet his Surf kept going and hits David when he was near the ground.
The Pokémons struggled to stand as their next attacks would decide it all.
"This is it," Vic said in anticipation .
"You betcha," Randy said as he was ready to end it all.
.
..
...
"WATERFALL!/BLAST BURN!"
The two of them exert all of their remaining strength to their attacks as they head to one another for a final clash, but Vic still have one trick in his sleeve.
"Ice Beam!" The water surrounding Bunta then froze as the Blast Burn hits him dead on, but the ice provided a secondary defense and continues towards David as the Striker Pokémon looks on in shock till Bunta collided with him and sent David towards the wall with loud crash.
Mel and Nomad then leans forward and saw David knocked out.
"David the Cinderace is unable to battle! Gamabunta the Swampert wins! Which means the winner is VIIIIICTOOOOOOR POOOOOLAAAAAARIIIIISSS!"
The audience then cheered from this as Bunta returns to his original form and landed on his belly, tired.
Vic smiled at this as he approached Bunta while Randy pulled David out of the wall by his ears and grumbles a suitable punishment for him.
"That was amazing," Elm said with a smile on her face.
"I heard that Yunero was his true starter, but David kinda wants to join Randy in his journey. Randy could've won with Yunero, but with David... Not so much," Blake said.
"But still, that was great," Oscar commented while U. Pichu nods.
"That's the power of an experience Trainer," Weiss said as she looked at Eis the Alolan Vulpix and thought of her future with her.
Back in the battlefield, Vic and Randy walk to one another while Bunta walks behind Vic and David was still knocked out.
"That was a great battle," Vic said as he offered his hand and Randy shook it.
"It quite is," Randy said as he suddenly gain a dark look while green wisps appeared around his body. "Now let me punish this idiot for breaking my winning streak."
"You have to catch me first!" Randy quickly looks behind him and got hit by a Pyro Ball while David running for the door. "So long folks!"
"Get back here! Take your punishment like a man!" Randy shouted in anger as he chase the Striker Pokémon and caused everyone either to laugh or sigh at the scene.
Omake end
And that is it for this Chapter!
I hope you like this omake as this would be three part omake where Team VRMN will be fighting one another in a Pokémon battle.
Currently, I am waiting for a 3DS Emulator in the Play Store, which it should have now! So I could finally try 3DS Pokémon games.
I already have characters in the first five Pokémon games, so I really want to play the 3DS games and enjoy it.
With some Youtubers help, I know what Starters I would use, but I could experiment with it a little.
I am still sour when I watched a video about the problems in the 6th Generation games and I hate it that they didn't spread out Mega Evolutions and only certain people does. This infuriates me a lot.
I would even try ORAS and kinda have a new character for it rather than redoing it with Vic and use a Blaziken. I used a Sceptile in Emerald and I hate it.
I would even try USUM and I know I would cry in that Ultra Necrozma battle if I did a Nuzlocke on it.
I am just waiting for it, because I will never buy any consoles because I don't really want to waste money and I don't ask many things. And a free download in the internet because of the same thing with the console.
I really want to play but I don't really want to.
ALSO!
I am deciding a new story after this and I have many options.
I will still do some and probably do the sequel for VTR, a Pokémon x RWBY x Gate Triple Crossover, or the Fate x RWBY Crossover.
I would improve the idea for that story because I only finished the first two seasons so that will be the limit, making it a short story.
So for now, I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
Vic out Peace.
