Back with Ruby and Penny, they finally broke the silence after a little bit of awkward silence. "Penny, I don't understand." Ruby said.
"Most girls are born, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an aura. I'm not real." She said, closing her hands to hide the robotics.
But then, Ruby took her hands and opened them to reveal them again, but then closed them again and pushed Penny's hands back to her. "Of course you are. You think that because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?" She asked.
"I don't... Um..." Penny started, before leaning in a bit. "You're taking this extraordinarily well." She finished.
"You're not like those things we saw back there. You've got a heart." Ruby started, poking Penny's chest a bit making another sound like metal being softly hit. "And a soul, I can feel it." She said.
Penny then brightened up a bit and pulled Ruby in for a hug "Oh, Ruby! You're the best friend anyone could have!" She said happily, rocking back and forth with Ruby's head on her chest (good thing her boobs weren't bigger or we'd be having a repeat of what Kurumu does to Tsukune).
"I can see why you're father would want to protect such a delicate flower!" Ruby groaned, as the hug was PROBABLY squishing her head.
"Oh, he's VERY sweet. My father's the one that BUILT me! I'm sure you would just LOVE him!"
"Wow. He built you all by himself?"
"Well, almost. He had some help from Mr. Ironwood."
"The general? Wait! Is that why those soldiers were after you?"
"They like to protect me, too!"
Ruby smirked a bit at this. "They don't think you can protect yourself?"
"They're not sure if I'm ready yet. One day, it'll be MY job to save the world, but I still have a lot left to learn. That's why my father let me come to the Vytal festival. I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world and test myself in the tournament." She explained (she's gonna have a tough time there).
"Penny, what are you talking about? Save the world from what? We're in a time of peace!" Ruby told her.
"That's not what Mr. Ironwood said." Penny replied.
"Check down here!" A soldier called out.
"You have to hide!" Penny said, grabbing Ruby's shoulders.
"Ah! Penny, what are you doing?! You don't have to go with them! I can help you!" Ruby said as we now see Penny carrying her above her head as the smaller girl struggled, but penny put her in a (thankfully empty) dumpster.
"It's okay, Ruby, they're not bad people. I just don't want you to get in trouble. Just promise me you won't tell anyone about my secret, okay?" She asked (you here that, everybody? We can't let this get out. Just keep it to yourself).
"I promise." Ruby said with a nod, ducking down as Penny closed the dumpster.
"There she is!" A soldier called out.
"SAL-U-TATIONS, officers!" Penny said in a friendly tone.
"Why were you running? And where's the other girl?" One of them demanded.
"What girl? I've been by myself all day." Penny said, the two soldiers looking at each other, Penny hiccuping due to lying at this moment, getting their attention back.
"You shouldn't cause such a scene. Are you okay?" One soldier asked.
"Just a scratch." Penny said, revealing her hands.
"Penny, your father isn't going to be happy about this." The other soldier said, facepalming.
"Please, just come with us." The other one said.
"Yes, sir." She replied. Ruby started to watch them leave, but then a rat screeched at her, startling her and causing her to fall back in the dumpster.
Elsewhere, we see an alleyway and hear a bunch of bike noises, seeing Yang round a corner on her bike and stop just in front of the camera. She took off her helmet and shook her head a bit to loosen up her hair. "Come on. My friend's right in here." Yang says, pointing towards the club and walking towards it.
Back on the bike, Neptune looked just about ready to puke. "Cool." He said, before shaking his head and calming himself down. "And where exactly is here?" He asked, getting off the bike and following her.
Inside the club, Junior was at the bar, straightening his tie (I knew it! This proves the trailers are canon!), one of his thugs grabbed another bottle of alcohol and another thug was carrying a box to some unknown location. Melanie and Militia were at the DJ booth with the DJ, who still wore the silly giant panda head. Suddenly, two more thugs rushed through the entrance. "Hurry, close the door, she's coming!" One of them said as they desperately held the door closed.
"What are you two idiots doing?!" Junior asked.
"Junior, she's coming! The one with the-!" That's all I could catch out of their panicked rambling, but then the doors were blasted open and the two of them were knocked to the ground.
"Guess who's back!" Yang said with her arms out to say what's up. Suddenly, all of the thugs were in front of her in an instant with their guns pointed at her head and the music began skipping as the DJ was hiding behind his table, but he popped his head up long enough to turn off the music before hiding again.
"Yeah, so could you define 'friend' for me?" Neptune asked, popping out from behind her.
"Stop, stop! Nobody. Shoot." Junior shouted, working his way towards them. He then pushed through his goons, loosening his tie and clearing his throat. "Blondie! You're here! Why?" He asked, getting increasingly nervous.
"You still owe me a drink." She said, dragging him over to the bar.
"Whooaa... What a woman." Neptune said in awe.
With Damion...
"Huh. I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to hit Neptune." He said confused.
before looking at Melanie and Militia. "'Sup." He asked, the two of them huffing and walking away.
"Whatever." They said at the same time.
With Blake...
She ran her fingers over the markings of the White Fang symbol, looking around the corner at two faunus being let into a warehouse. "This is it." She said.
"You sure?" Sun asked. She then glared at him and he raised his hands in surrender. "You know, I'm just gonna take your word for it." He said quickly.
She took her bow off to reveal her cat ears as they walked up. "New recruits, keep to the right!" Someone instructed.
"I don't get it. If you believe what your doing if right, why hide your faces?" Sun asked, the two of them having masks in their hand now.
"The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to dawn the faces of monsters." Blake explained.
"Grimm masks... That's kinda dark." He said.
"So is the guy who started it." She replied, walking ahead.
"Always sunshine and rainbows with you." He said.
They walked into a big room where the meeting or whatever was happening, walking up close to the people in front of them as the speech began. "Thank you all for coming. For those of you who are joining us for the very first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours." The man up front said, having a strange accent that I think the closest thing to it was Russian, Torchwick walking up on stage beside him. "I guarantee he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for for so long!" He finished.
"Thank you, thank you! Please, hold your applause." Roman said as he walked up, getting cheers from the current members of the White Fang and noises of anger and confusion from the new recruits.
"What's a human doing here!" A new girl with deer antlers (4 points, 2 per antler) demanded (how do you know he's human? You might not be able to see his features from where you are and he's wearing a hat. Maybe he has something under it? I know he is a human, but how can you tell in this world from a first glance?).
"I'm glad you asked, deary." He started, looking at her before addressing the crowd (that's racist). "Now, I'll be the first to admit. Humans are the worst, case in point." He said, gesturing to himself (at least he's honest). "So, I understand why you would all love to see us locked away or better yet, killed." He continued.
"So, is he going somewhere with this, or...?" Sun asked (he's got a point).
"But, before the claws come out I'd like to mention the fact that you and I have a common enemy: the one's in control. The people pulling the strings. The dirty, rotten humans that run our kingdoms." He said, finally getting some cheers. "Government, military, even the schools (he has a point, I haven't seen a SINGLE faunus teacher at Beacon). They're all to blame for YOUR lot in life. And they're all pests that need to be dealt with. Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around (arguable). No offense to any rodents in the room." He said, snapping his fingers and suddenly, an Atlasian Paladin was uncovered from a giant tarp, everyone cheering when they saw the White Fang symbols on it.
"Whoa, that's a big robot." Sun said.
"How did he get that?" Blake asked.
"As some of you may have heard, this right here." Torchwick continued, knocking on it. "Is Atlas' new defense against all the SCARY things in the world. And thanks to my employer, we've managed to snag a few before they, uh... Hit the shelves." He started (how the hell did Cinder get those?! Just how high up is she in the world. And for the gods' sakes, what the hell is her plan?!). "Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to our operation in the Southeast. If you want to stay in the city, that's fine, but if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe, this is the arsenal I can provide you. Any questions?" He asked, everyone cheering for him.
"We should get out of here." Blake said.
"Would all new recruits, please come forward?" The other guy on stage asked (well that's a bitch).
"Well..." Sun said as recruits began to push past them to go up to the stage.
With team BDSS...
We reconvened in the middle of town after gathering the information we needed. "Alright, so, what did you guys find? All I know is something's going down in the Southeast." I told them.
"I found out where their main base of operations is, but it's packed with WAY too much heat for any one of us to take on our own." Damion said.
"What did you guys find?" I asked Damion and Draco.
"A lot of empty warehouses, an Amazon warehouse, another warehouse where we were attacked by a bunch of possessed animatronics and finally, a second warehouses where we destroyed just about everything inside except for one thing." Nicolas said.
"Why would you leave that if the enemy could use it?" I asked.
"You're probably not gonna like this and we saved it because we wanted to tell you and let you decide what to do with it, but..." Draco said, suddenly, we heard noises like an airship and a spotlight shined down on us.
We were blinded for a second, but when I could see again, I couldn't believe what I was looking at. "No... It can't be... That's impossible!" I said in shock and horror.
"Motherfucker..." Damion said.
Flying above us, was an Atlasian Dragon. "This can't be right. Nobody has EVER robbed BladeCorp before. Literally the only time you could even try would be on the train when BladeCorp delivers it to a military base! And the cargo is always guarded by a member of the Blade clan! You could throw the entire Justice League, Avengers and the Z fighters at that train and they still couldn't do any damage to it as long as we're guarding it!" I said in disbelief.
"Well, clearly they have one." Draco said.
"Maybe someone with a lot of balls pulled a GTA5 and attacked the military base and stole one." Nicolas suggested.
"Whatever the case, there's only one thing we can do now." I said, glaring up at the creation of my family's company. "RUN AWAY!" I said, Draco and Nicolas following close behind me, the three of us repeating "run away" as we fled (Monty Python reference!).
"Are you serious?!" Damion asked, before looking up at the machine and observing its weaponry, which was now all pointed directly at him: a rail gun in it's mouth, laser guns in it's eyes, fire cannons (like flamethrowers but with 10 times the reach and power), in the arms and the most dangerous thing being the 40 foot long, 4-segmented tail, each segment containing something different, but equally deadly, the first segment having miniguns, the next segment containing heat-seeking missiles, the next one having electric generators that charge electricity, then fire it like lightning and the last segment being a giant plasma cannon. "Oh, that's why." He said, quickly following us as the pilot began to fire at him.
"What's the plan?" He asked as he caught up with us.
"As bad of an idea as this sounds, we need to get out in the open to level the playing field. He can shoot us all he wants with whatever he wants, but we've got all these buildings in the way!" I said.
"Then let's get on top of the buildings!" Nicolas said.
"Nick, I'm pretty sure that is the only thing you've ever said to me that remotely made sense." I said as we jumped onto a building with a large roof with plenty of room to move and a decent amount of stuff to take cover behind.
Damion switched his gun so it had incendiary rounds that were capable of reaching the temperature of lava, firing at it, aiming for where the tail connected to the body but doing no damage to it at all. "What the hell?!" He asked, before taking cover again as the miniguns unloaded on him.
"It's made of Bladenium! You know, that almost indestructible metal my brother makes all the weapons I give you from?" I asked.
"FUCK! I was always worried that could be used against us." He said.
"Didn't you say ALMOST? So, that means it can be destroyed." Draco said.
"The only people strong enough to break Bladenium are Hulk and Asura (Asura's Wrath)! And he's break his arms in the process. And it takes the heat of Hellfire in order to melt it." I explained.
"So, we're gonna die?" Nicolas asked.
"We've got ONE option. Go for the cockpit." I told them.
"That's what she-" Draco started.
"DON'T YOU EVEN!" Damion roared, aiming his gun at him.
"The dome protecting the cockpit is made of Maxi glass. You know, that stuff that they make for record studios. Or just bulletproof glass. It's one of the hardest things in the world to break, but that's only when you're talking about regular humans. We could smash through it just fine. The biggest problem would be getting up their without getting ripped to shreds." I explained.
"We'll have to work together." Damion said.
"Right. Darkness and death!" I ordered, Damion and Nicolas taking point. Damion used the power of darkness to create a cloud of darkness around the cockpit to blind the pilot and allow Nicolas to rush in and create a bunch of skeletal creatures on the head of the dragon, attacking the cockpit as soon as the darkness lifted. The creatures attacked the Maxi glass and started putting cracks in it as the pilot began to panic, at which point Draco and I moved in. "We can't destroy it, but we can destroy the weapons! Boiling blood!" I said, Draco covering all the weapons or filling the barrels of the weapons with blood, which he then hardened, making it more dense, expandable and flammable, at which point I began to hose it down with flames, causing the blood to expand before exploding, ruining all the weapons on the tail. "Blood and Bones!" I commanded, Draco and Nicolas rushing in. Draco created hand of blood to hold the mouth open and allowing Nicolas to turn his arm into a giant arm of bones, reaching into the mouth, grabbing the rail gun and ripping it out. "Good thing the weapons themselves aren't Bladenium." I said.
"FINALLY, we're catching some breaks." Damion replied.
"Yeah, well you're breaks over. Balancer!" I said, the two of us rushing in and jumping high into the air, close to each other and holding out our hands to make a combined fireball of light and darkness, firing it down at the dome, easily shattering it, but this also allowed the pilot to see again without all the cracks on his dome, firing the eye lasers at us, to which we took cover again, but it started to circle around to flank us. "Dark blood!" I said, Damion and Draco taking action. Damion created giant hands of darkness that Draco covered with blood and hardened, making the hands physical and allowing them to grab and restrain the wings.
"Time for the finale, do it!" Damion growled as he still had to control the hands.
"Got it! Bone Demon!" I said. Nicolas created a giant mess of bones that flew at me and covered me like a suit of armor that would be able to stand up to the laser blasts, so I could rush in and finish it off.
"Anyone who steals from the Blades will pay with their lives!" I said, flying in, shrugging off the laser beams as they hit me, landing on the frame of the dome, holding a prime fireball in both hands. "Boom." I said, launching it and causing a huge explosion, sending me flying, vaporizing the guy who was in the cockpit and destroying the controls, causing it to fall to the ground and explode. I crashed down on the roof with the guys, the bone armor shattering, but at this point, it wasn't needed anymore. "I'll send a pick-up crew for that. Nothing can be salvaged from it, anyway." I said.
At that moment, we received a distress signal from team RWBY, but it was over 10 minutes ago. We rushed to the scene, but were only just in time to see Yang completely destroy the Paladin. "YEAH, that's my girl!" Damion cheered.
We dropped down beside them as Roman got up, brushing himself off. "Just got this thing cleaned." He said.
"Well, I'm sure being ripped to shreds will also lower its value." Damion said.
"Along with being burnt to a crisp." I added.
Yang fired a blast from one of her gauntlets at him, but suddenly, some girl with an umbrella jumped down and used it to block the blast. She then moved it out of the way to reveal herself.
"Damn. And I thought I had bad color coordination." Nicolas said. She was dressed in dark brown pants, a black shirt with the front of it tucked into her pants, but not the sides, a white and pink jacket, a bunch of black necklaces and most awkward of all, half her hair was pink, the other half was brown, the same as her eyes.
"Ladies, demons, Ice Queen." Roman bid us farewell.
"Hey!" Weiss complained at her nickname.
"Always a pleasure. Neo, if you would." Roman said, looking at his assistant as she bowed to us.
Yang rushed in, screaming. She slammed her fist into them and they completely shattered like glass.
"WHAT?!" We all asked in disbelief. We all turned and looked to see an airship fly off with the two of them in it.
"Well, I guess he's got a new henchman." Yang said angrily.
"Seriously, where does he keep finding these guys?" I asked.
"Beats the hell outta me, but since he's got someone like her, the odds are right back in his favor." Damion said.
"Well, I guess she really made our plans... Fall apart?" Weiss joked, looking at Yang.
"No. Just no." Yang and Team BDSS said together.
"What?! But you do it!" Weiss said to Yang.
"There's a time and a place for jokes." She said.
"Was this not it?" She asked.
"Yeah, even I wouldn't make a joke at this point. This is disappointing. This is the 3rd time this modafucka got away." I said.
"And besides, it wasn't very good." Yang said, walking off.
"Well, at least I'm trying." Weiss said, following her.
"Yeah, well try harder." I said, my team walking off as well.
"Wait, where are Sun and Neptune.?" Ruby asked.
With Sun and Neptune...
They were at some noodle place called 'A simple Wok noodle house'. "They're probably fine, right?" Neptune asked.
