Chapter 5

''I hereby call this meeting to order'' Sarge said banging the gavel down, the Reds and Blues had gathered for another meeting, after there little adventure with Amber and Qrow the group had taken a bit of time to relax, but there was one pressing matter that was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore ''our current agenda is that we're running low on ammo, so if anyone has any suggestions speak now''

''Oh here's one, Wash you mentioned that you an Atlas outpost at one point in your story, is it possible we might find an abandoned one with spare ammo we could use?'' Doc asked.

''Sorry but don't know much about that stuff, I only lived here until I was about nineteen and I really wasn't too knowledgable about things like that when I was here'' said Wash ''but I think that idea has some merit, we'll try looking through the ships computers for it and if that doesn't work then…''

''Then what?'' Doc asked.

''Then we may have to steal it'' Wash answered.

''Steal it!'' Donut exclaimed.

''Look I don't want to do it either, but we're running low on ammo and if we can't acquire it fairly like planned we're gonna have to steal it'' said Wash.

''Wash is right, we need to get more ammo and quickly and it's not like this is the first thing we stole'' said Simmons with a shrug.

''Alright, who and where were you thinking of stealing this hypothetical ammo from?'' Sarge asked.

''I don't know where from but I've got two groups to steal from in mind'' said Wash ''Atlas or the White Fang, I've thought it over and I think those are the best choices, Atlas basically has infinite resources the only problem would be that they'd defiantly start targeting us''

''Wash based on what you've told us about Atlas they probably already see us as a threat and they probably want us already for our armour'' said Tucker ''that said I don't really like the idea of attacking the White Fang either''

''Neither do I'' Wash admitted ''but attacking a White Fang base would defiantly be easier than attacking a Atlas outpost, so I'd say if we have a choice we take from the White Fang''

''Alright, does anyone object?'' Sarge asked nobody spoke up ''alright then it's decided, but which one we'll attack hasn't been decided but we'll focus on that at a later date'' Sarge then banged down the gavel ''while we're here does anyone have anything else to bring up?''

''Yeah, what are we going to do about Beacon?'' Donut asked ''because you said that was where everything went to… shit, sorry, and if I read the calendar right your younger self will be attending there soon, I know by stopping Cinder from getting any Fall Maiden powers we might have altered things drastically, but she might still be planning to go to Beacon to cause the Fall and take the Fall Maiden powers, so what are we going to do about that?''

''You don't have to worry about that Donut'' said Simmons ''I've been working on something for that, I've almost finished it, it'll take a little longer but I'm almost finished, once that's done we just need to go to Vale and get into Beacon somehow so for now don't worry about that Donut''

''Okey dokey'' Donut said hesitantly.

''Ok, is that everything cause I'm tired I wanna sleep'' Grif grunted.

''Yeah one last thing, can I borrow Lopez, there are a couple of room we're not using bellow and I wanna do something with them and I think Lopez could help me with that'' said Tucker quickly.

''As long as Lopez is ok with it'' said Sarge ''are you ok with it Lopez?''

''[Yeah, sure why not I mean its not like I have anything better to do]'' Lopez groaned ''[if I can do it, I'll do it and if I can't I won't]''

''Ok, I think that was a yes, is that a yes Lopez?'' Sarge asked.

''[Yes]'' said Lopez knowing that was the only word he'd understand.

''Ok then, I call this meeting to a close'' said Sarge banging the gavel down ''Simmons now that your free goes look through the computers see if you can find any abandoned outposts''

''I'm on it sir'' said Simmons rushing off.

As the other Reds and Blues got up to leave the room Wash noticed Doc hitting his head a couple of times ''hey Doc are you ok?'' he asked.

''Huh, oh yeah I'm fine Wash, I'm fine, j-j-iust fine, I- I have to do something Wash, I'll see ya later'' said Doc before rushing off leaving Wash confused.

An hour later Wash was walking down the hall headed to Docs room, he had been worried about him since the end of the meeting so he decided to check on him and when he reached the room his worry only grew because he could hear voices inside.

''… sounds wonderful does it not?''

''No it doesn't it sounds horrible, horrible!''

''Oh come on admit it, you'd love to-''

''No I wouldn't! Now shut up and go away!''

''You can't get rid of me Doc, you can never get rid of me!''

One of the voices was Docs and the other was O'Malley, Wash quickly knocked on the door, the voices quieted down before one of them called out ''who is it?'' It was Docs voice.

''Doc it's me Wash'' Wash called back ''can I come in?''

The door open revealed Doc still wearing his helmet ''oh hey Wash, sure come in, come in'' he said gesturing for Wash to come in, when he entered Wash looked around amazed there posters of diagrams of organs, bones and the human body covering the walls and hundreds of medical books stacked both on and around the desk and around other parts of the room ''yeah I've been doing a lot of studying lately'' Doc said with a nervous laugh before looking down ''you guys keep calling me Doc but I'm a not a doctor you know, heck I'm not even much of a medic so I'm trying to change that''

''I'm glad your trying to improve, but you're not as bad a medic as you think you are Doc'' said Wash.

''Wha- b-but I suck'' Doc said.

''Doc if you really did suck would you have been able to save Donut when I shot him in Valhalla or save me at Sidewinder after the fight with the Meta?'' Wash asked.

''N-no I- I guess I wouldn't'' Doc mused.

''Doc in every combat situation there's always a chance you can be hurt or even killed and I wouldn't put us in those situations unless I was confident you'd be able to heal our injuries, keep trying to improve but don't put yourself down so much ok Doc?'' Wash said putting a hand on Doc's shoulder.

''Thanks Wash'' said Doc and Wash could tell Doc was smiling under the helmet ''so what did

''I was worried about you after the meeting are you ok Doc?'' Wash asked.

''Oh yeah, yeah I'm ok'' said Doc.

''You sure?'' Wash asked.

''Yeah, I'm sure why wouldn't I be sure, I am sure that's why I'm sure'' said Doc.

''Doc, I heard you when I was outside, so I'll ask you again are you ok?'' Wash asked.

Doc burst into tears ''I'm not ok, I'm not ok at all, Wash it's- it's O'mally, I thought I had dealt with him, I thought I had pushed him down and locked him away but since coming here he's been fighting me trying to get out and I'm worried, I'm worried he's going to get out and he's going to take over me, he's been talking about how great all this stuff surrounding the Grimm and Salem sounds, so I'm worried if he takes over he'll join with Salem and Cinder and tell them everything''

''Hey don't worry Doc it's going to be ok'' said Wash soothingly.

''No it's not!'' Doc cried ''w-when we were saving Amber I- I- I- I- I almost pushed the arrow in deeper I could killed or crippled her!''

''But you didn't Doc and that's the thing, you've been fighting him and his influence'' said Wash strongly ''we've all got a negative influence inside us we have to fight and you just have to remember that, if he's strong then your strong and if your weak then he's weak, but the difference is your the original just remember that Doc ok''

''R-right, I'll remember that'' said Doc with a shaky voice ''listen Wash I'm not sure if I'll be able to help in whatever we do next, I mean I technically have a weapon my Scanner isn't just a Scanner it also acts as an energy pistol and I know how to use a rocket launcher but I don't want to use one until I have everything under control in my head, but I'll prep the med bay and I'll take care of anyone injured after it''

''That's ok Doc'' said Wash soothingly ''Simmons finished his search on the computers there are not Atlas outposts in our vicinity but we did find a White Fang base near us, so we're planning to attack that''

''Wash we're in position what's your status?'' Sarge asked over the radio.

''We're behind the base as planned'' Wash replied ''you can begin the attack''

''Music to my ears, alright Lard Lad, Princess Peach you two start driving while me and Simmons start shootin''' Sarge ordered.

Soon enough Wash's group, comprised of Tucker, Caboose and Lopez, could hear gunshots and explosions in the distance ''alright, that's Sarge's distraction now let's move!'' Wash ordered with the three nodding and they started to move up till they got to the back door of the base which Lopez quickly hacked, they walked through a long hallway before coming to a stop as they saw a new problem, the hall opened into a large room full of White Fang soldiers, probably reserve members, but there was also a canopy looking over them that also had White Fang soldiers stationed on it which could cause problems.

But Caboose then seemed to have an idea, he started pushing Wash into the room with Lopez and Tucker following ''C-Caboose what are you doing!?'' Wash asked surprised, they entered the room which drew attention to them as Caboose grabbed the back of Washes armour before tossing Wash as hard as he could towards the balcony ''Dahh!'' Wash cried as he landed on the balcony gaining the attention of the White Fang soldiers stationed there, but Wash quickly drew out his rifle and began shooting when he was finished with them Wash began to assist the others quickly finishing the room.

As the others made it up to where he was Tucker was laughing ''ha Caboose threw you like a rag doll!''

''Next time you're going to do that tell me first ok!'' Wash ordered.

''Ok'' said Caboose.

''Your going to forget aren't you'' Wash sighed.

''Probably'' said Caboose causing Wash to groan.

''[Man you guys love pillow talk as much as Tomato Can and Lemon Head]'' Lopez mused.

''Ok lets keep moving'' said Wash ''the command centre should be just ahead''

They continued on through the base meeting no resistance the soldiers must have all been out fighting Sarge's group, finally they reached the command centre and burst in, they're weren't any guards and the people in the command we're all unarmed, all the members inside raised their hands.

''Get on your knees and put your hands behind your heads'' Wash ordered.

''Y-your not going to kill us?'' One of them asked.

''What!? No we're not gonna kill any of you, gunning down unarmed people is just wrong!'' Tucker stated, they had killed the White Fang members who attacked them but they didn't want to kill anyone unarmed, not only was it a war crime to do so but it just felt like murder.

''Sarge we've captured the command centre, we're going to order them to stand down'' said Wash.

''Err about that Wash, it seems like they didn't have that many soldiers'' Sarge replied.

''What?'' Wash asked.

''Yeah we finished off the soldiers that came out to attack us and then no more came out, so I'm assuming we dealt with all of them'' stated Sarge ''we're inside and we're making our way to you now''

A few minutes later the Reds and Blues had cuffed the leaders of the White Fang base, Wash was currently stood in front of them with Grif and Tucker, the former wanted to ask him about something, they had landed the airship three clicks away and Sarge, Simmons, Caboose and Lopez were loading the supplies up and taking them back to the ship.

''I've called the authorities, they'll be here in a few minutes to take you all in and we'll be taking your ammo and weapons'' said Wash.

''Hey Wash I looked through their fridge and they've got beer'' said Grif.

''We're taking that too'' said Wash, they were running low and while Wash wasn't an alcoholic he did enjoy cracking a cold one open with the guys after a long day, Wash assumed that's what Grif was going to ask him for.

''Hey before we leave, I kinda want to apologise for this, I know how you feel trust me I do'' said Tucker ''but it doesn't excuse everything you've done, I understand how you feel and I understand that your still not treated the best and I know how that feels, trust me I know, but be assured what we're doing is for the benefit of everyone on Remnant Human and Faunus''

Later on the Reds and Blues were celebrating with some of the beer they had stolen for a job well done, when Simmons got up and held up some kind of chip ''I'm proud to announce I finished work on a program, now all I need to do is upload it to the Beacon computer network and we will have a back door in''

'So that's the chapter I hope you liked it because I'm going to be honest with you I wasn't exactly sure how to do it because I agree with the statement that racial discrimination subplot was not handled very well, just go YouTube and search 'Unicorn of war white fang' because I think that summarises it perfectly, I'm fully willing to do reform work on the White Fang I just don't know how to do it yet.

But I hope you liked the chapter all the same, I'm not sure if I added it, I write these firsts, the joke is Caboose tossing Wash somewhere.

I hope you liked the stuff I did with Doc in this chapter, that's the moment I wanted to give him and Wash and I hope it worked, I was thinking of revealing his face in this chapter but I decided against it, I kind of want to do a scene where the Reds and Blues reveal their faces to each other at the same time.

Oh and I'd like you all to know I do have a plan for Carolina, but she won't be showing up for a while.
