Jaune hated Atlas/Mantle almost as much as Bleiss but more specifically, the Atlas HQ. The food sucked, he's not aloud to play music after 7:30, The scientist harassed him for access to Mrgas, and worst of all; THE FOOD SUCKED! But it's not all bad. He thought, glancing to the robots sparring in the newly finished arena. The new addition to the outskirts of Mantle was another gift sent to Remnant from Magnanimous, with a personal touch thrown in by Jaune.

Winter and Marrow's robots squared off in the wrestling ring as MRGAS sat on a throne of ice with Jaune having a one man tail gate party in the car. He cheered when Frostbyte executed a perfect body splash off the turnbuckle sending K-9 to the mat. A short (by giant robot standards), Unicron inspired robot tapped the ground three times next to them before declaring Frostbyte the winner, while dangling from her arm.

"And the winner and new champion is… Winter!" Oscar announced to the crowd of Jaune from inside Skalgar.

Wondering when Oscar got a hold of his own robot? Well, it started after he returned home from the car show. If Jaune could do it so could he, he just forgot the measure twice and cut once rule, and after Jaune found out he invited Oscar out to the team.

"That rocked you guys!" Jaune exclaimed into the comma-link.

"I don't think you saw that from my point of view." Marrow sulked.

"You are improving Marrow, just remember that you are technically the newest pilot." Winter tried to comfort, only to make Marrow feel worse as she reminded him that, even though Oscar is the youngest he is still likely the second best pilot when she's not co-piloting Mrgas.

Skalgar, K-9, and Frostbyte exited the ring with Mrgas rising from his throne. All four making their way back to Atlas before a giant robot shaped and built like that one guy from the A-Team materialized in front of Mrgas forcing everyone to stop.

"I'm T-Bot, the baddest! The maddest! The worst you ever haddest! Bot in the quadrant!" T-Bot posed several times for the floating camera the rest of Team Gas could now see before pulling out two axes from his back. "Prepare to be pulverized."

Jaune looked unimpressed as he honked his horn.

"Where you from? Mantle you're holding up traffic." T-Bot peered into the car before starting a new rant.

"I intend to pulverize, tenderize, and otherwise smashasize also" Mrgas cut him off, slightly pushing T-Bot to the side as Team Gas tried to continue onward.

"Later chump I got ACTUAL food to prep." Jaune said taking digs at Atlas military rations.

"What was that about?" Oscar asked with Marrow agreeing with the question. Winter had a feeling she knew but needed more evidence.

"Who cares." Jaune dismissed.

"I care." Magnanimous answered the dismissal, more cameras spread out around everyone. "We need to talk."

Gas Station

Getting back to HQ Ironwood was called down to the Gas Station for another unannounced alien. It felt as if there was at least one every week since Arc brought the robot to Atlas. Just last week the Glorft tried attacking once again but was dealt with soundly. Last Ironwood heard their mother ship fell somewhere deep on the most heavily Grimm populated continent, you know the one shaped like a dragon.

When the the doors to the hangar opened Ironwood found Bleiss keeping the other Ace-Ops out their Zorps via electric cockpits she would turn on and off with the remote in her hand. And just like aliens, Bleiss has proven impossible to keep out of the base as long as Arc is so close to her. The hangar doors opened allowing Ironwood reprieve from the madness as Team Gas walked in with their guests. Team Gas and T-Bot docked.

Magnanimous hovered down to the Remnants.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself, I am"

"Magnanimous." Ironwood finished. "What has you visiting Remnant this time."

"I'm glad you remembered Woody." Ironwoods stone glare hardened more at the new nickname in the growing list he hated. "I'm here fulfilling my duties as chairman of the GCCF, filming the champ defend his title." He spoke to the cameras.

"Listen up champ, my ratings are starting to drop, if my ratings drop my money drops, and your in high demand back in the ring. So to solve this little issue I need YOU" points at Jaune. "To fight T-Bot here."

"I'm programmed to contest, detest, and dethrone the defending champ." T-Bot gloated, posing for the cameras.

"And I want to do it LIVE~ across the galaxy."

"Defend my title, huh? Live?" Jaune asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Where are you planning to host the fight?" Ironwood asked having a bad feeling.

"Why, the home planet of the defending champ of course, and don't worry I'll cut you in on all broadcast revenue and action figure sales, besides he owes me for not showing up in weeks for a match."

"I get my own action figure?" Jaune's sparkling eye'd look came back with vengeance. Jaune could see his last action figure sitting on the store shelf before he grabbed it and added it to the five others in his cart, making children cry at not getting the last Jaune action figure (with all you can eat action). All while Winters action figures are stocked full and ignored.

"Sorry but Arc will be declining your challenge." Ironwood interrupted Jaune's fantasy.

"Say what now?" He asked only for General to continue the explanation.

"He has too many responsibilities now that he is the leader of Team Gas." Magnanimous smiled widely at hearing that. Magnanimous tried offering more tech to the General.

"The answer is still no."

"Well you leave me no choice. I, Magnanimous, on live~ galactic broadband" he said speaking to the camera before turning back to Jaune. " Revoke your title." He finished with a tone of disgust.

"What!?" Jaune exclaimed as images of him across the galaxy replaced the word 'champ' with 'chump'.

"You can't do that! HE CAN'T DO THAT!" He tried to plea to Winter.

"Can't do what? Just follow what the General is saying Arc."

"My federation, my rules." Magnanimous smugly replied crossing his tiny, tiny arms. "Sorry kid. Nothing personal." Magnanimous sincerely apologized to Jaune.

"Wow, losing your title in the most humiliating way possible. An administrative upset." Oscar mumbled. "That's gotta hurt."

Ironwood wanted to plead Jaune's case after that but he will remain firm. Jaune looked as if his world is crumbling around him. Remembering how earning that title is what really gave him the confidence to move forward and be a hero.

"What do I do? A champ with no title is like, like crawfish nuggets without bbq sauce!"

"Oh, and only the champ gets to keep the belt so hand it over." The sounds of revving engines answered him as Jaune sat in Mrgas.

"I ain't giving you back the belt. Its mine!"

"Not any more." Magnanimous tried.

"Jaune, just give him back the belt. All he's doing is pushing you into a fight." Winter commanded.

"Well it don't matter no-how, as long as that belt is in hanging in the new ring. I'm the Champ!" Jaune declared triumphantly

"So I can get you to fight by getting the belt? You heard him T-Bot go get yourself a new belt." T-Bot locked onto the location of the belt, seeing it where the group first started.

"Consider it nabbed, grabbed, and utterly rehabbed." He declared.

"What you think this chump is gonna get my belt?" Jaune asked mockingly as Bleiss got in the front seat.

"Ooh~ good point." Magnanimous hit a button and four more robots materialized. "New rules people. You want to be champ? All you gotta do his get the championship belt." Jaune was shocked about that.

Magnanimous turned to the cameras again.

"Stay tuned for 'Metal Massacre the Rematch.' Only 30 credits order now or miss all the action." Magnanimous cut to commercial.

Humans and Faunus all over the world paid the 30 lien to view another giant robot fight.

Patch

Tai-Yang and Qrow entered the living room with snacks as the commercials still played. Ruby and Yang had been excited since seeing their friends Jaune and Oscar on screen. Yang eye's shifted to red when they called Jaune a chump but quickly faded when he jumped into Mrgas.

"Do you think Oscar is going to join?" Ruby asked her big sister.

"What? Worried about your boyfriend?" Yang teased pulling Ruby into a headlock.

"Not…my…boyfriend." Ruby choked out.

"You mean that kid that drives that sweet green car? The same one that made Ruby popular over night because other students see her get in and out of said car nearly every school day. The kid whose name is on almost every page of Ruby's diary since meeting him. He's not you're boyfriend?" Tai-Yang asked putting away his shotgun. Just a normal shotgun.

Ruby shook her head as she struggled to get out of Yangs hold. While Qrow started placing his bets.

White Fang HQ

Blake had happily discovered that Mrgas was back and ready to defend his title. She is sitting in the mess hall with other members peeking over her shoulders every now and again. They would lose interest when they saw the human, but their attention was quickly retaken when seeing the giant robots everywhere, even Sienna Khan sat to her left watching the scroll. Adam watched on her right noticing the Hippo faunus (Magnanimous in digital disguise) is the one calling the shots and unfairly making the human compete. Adam can respect a faunus like that.

Mistral

Pyrrha had just returned home from her third tournament win, the fans are nice and sponsors are great, especially after Pumpkin Pete chose her to be their spokesperson, Jaune couldn't stop asking her to send him more cereal, 'Pyrrha Nikos' changing the rules of being a sugar momma. Now she just wanted to sit down and watch old reruns of Jaune's matches.

The holo-screen popped up with a commercial for 'Metal Massacre the Rematch' she couldn't spend money fast enough, until another commercial advertising a meet and greet of the combatants after the match.

Vale

Ozpin sipped his coffee as the Brother Gods sat quietly in there prison. It took some time but Ozpin had finally worked out 1% of his anger at the two. Ozpin now keeps the two on his desk and whenever paperwork starts being so tedious he can now relax with 'Gods of Lerp'

A notification from Port drew his attention away from his mug, clicking the attached link Ozpin paid his money and setup the screen to be in front of the Brothers.

"This seems like an educational program, the reason why you never challenge Remnant a second time."

"Give me 15 flowers on blue!" Dark exclaimed coming to appreciate the destructive capabilities of Mrgas.

Atlas

Commercials are still running as Magnanimous runs over the rules with the competitors.

"Alright, as far as I care this might as well be a five on one match,"

"2" Winter said starting Frostbyte.

"Tres'" Oscar brought Skalgar online.

"4" Marrow started posing in K-9. Magnanimous stared at the robots standing behind Mrgas.

"What no fifth wheel?" He looked pointedly at Ace-Zorp. "Looks like we have a full roster."

"The pilots aren't ready but this is more than enough to whoop the that gold punk." Mrgas and T-Bot literally butted heads pushing each other, Mrgas growling furiously.

The cameras focused on the two as commercials ended.

"Alright folks, we have an even better treat for you!~ The defending champ has issued his OWN challenge to us!" Magnanimous could practically hear the money rolling in. "Our champ has been busy putting together his own team of heavy hitters it seems. Let's get some stats on the screen."

"First up we have, the Cold Queen of the North! the Archiver of Technological Worlds! FROSTBYTE!" An image of Winter and Frostbyte took over the screen, Frostbyte's stats featured under them both.

Robot: Frostbyte

Pilot: Winter Schnee

Creator:Jaune Arc

Specialty: Jets and Speed

Schnee Manor

Klein waved a little flag with the word 'GAS' as Willow sat with a glass of whisky next to him. Willow silently cheered for her oldest child and future son-in-law with benefits. Klein had even roped poor Whitely into watch, quite literally as the boy is tied down to a chair and wearing a gag.

Atlas/Mantle

"Now we have a real contender for next one. The savior of Cadet Planet, The Hound that Spell-bounds, K~9~!" Marrow and K-9 popped up next.

Robot: K-9

Pilot: Marrow Amin

Creator: Ultra Cadets

Specialty: Durability and Stuns

Cadet Planet

Pulsar cheered the loudest seeing Marrow compete, everyone under the dome are cheering seeing their champion and his friends.

"You can do it Marrow!" Pulsar cheered once more.

White Fang

The Faunus are rejoicing that one of their kind finally made it to the 'big' leagues, Adam and Banesaw being quite vocal about the Schnee he's forced to work with.

"Who do I call to place some bets?" Sienna asked getting an answer from the bottom of the screen.

Atlas/Mantle

"And finally Skalgar, the short one." Magnanimous finished a with a yawn. Oscar felt deeply disrespected, who was he to dismiss his robot.

Patch

Ruby felt anger boil as she viewed the picture of Oscar and Skalgar as where the stats should be read one word

'SHORT'

"Leave Skalgar alone, we worked hard to build him!" Ruby exclaimed shaking the Tv, it took the combined effort of Tai-Yang and Yang to pull her off.

The Ring

Team Gas are standing outside the ring with Mrgas about to enter with Devastator on the other side. Skalgar placed a hand on Mrgas shoulder.

"I got this one." Oscar said having Skalgar grab the top rope before using it to jump into the ring with a flip. Bleiss opened a comm-link to Magnanimous.

"What are the odds for shorty?"

"Worse than you boyfriend's when he started." Was the reply she was hoping for.

"5 crystals on the Skalgar." She said cutting the feed before going back to enjoying the food Jaune is cooking for his own match. Magnanimous shook his head at the girl but didn't complain adding in her bet, if she wants to lose big money, who am I to say no.

"And Skalgar is the first from Team-Gas to fight off against, Devastator the Destroyer!" The bell started the match as the two circled each other briefly.

Oscar turned Skalgar around to run to the ropes for a boost, tackling Devastator into the opposite ropes. The robot rebounded into a lift over the shoulders before being slammed down, Skalgar climbed to the top turnbuckle before leaping into a flip and coming down with a body splash.

Patch

"Yeah! Go Oscar, represent Patch!" Ruby cheered, for once grabbing her big sister in a headlock of excitement.

"Come on kid, you got a do better than that to date MY daughter!" Tai-Yang cheered as well, embarrassing said girl.

Ring

Skalgar rose to his feet and began peacocking around the ring, never noticing Devastator take aim with his hammer. He slammed forward after the hammer hit him from behind, Devastator picked Skalgar up over his head before throwing him into the turnbuckles, shortly being met with a body check.

"Ooo~ and after a strong start the Tiny Terror is flatter than the terrain brainwave!"

Skalgar slumped into the corner after Devastator backed away, preparing it mace arm for a power swing. Skalgar blasted forward without warning, wrapping an arm around Devastator's torso. The arm gave Skalgar a turning point to pivot his body around allowing him to lock his ankles around the head of the larger robot. Oscar shifted the weight so Skalgar was practically sitting on the shoulders before leaning back with everything, launching the robot in between the ropes on the opposing side.

Patch

"HE DID IT! HE DID IT!" A high pitched voice cheered nearly deafening the other three people.

"Dad, calm down." Ruby tried to keep the huge smile off her face as she scolded her dad.

"8…9…10. And just like his leader the rookie comes out on top in first round! Let hear it for SKALGAR THE SCRAPPING SCRAPER!" Ruby's and Yang's scrolls began blowup from the messages from other students at Signal. Devastator remained motion less outside the ring head caved in from impact.

Ring

"Nice." Jaune complimented as Mrgas shared a fist bump with Skalgar. "Who's going next?" Jaune asked the opposition.

T-Bot stepped into the ring next flexing and speaking to the cameras.

"I am the daringest! The uncaringest! The belt wearingest Bot in the known and Unknown universe." So busy gloating he didn't see K-9 swinging,

"What are you gonna rhyme with that? Sucka !" T-Bot went flying over the rope but not before Key-Rusher tagged his hand as he sailed over

Magnanimous

A seer Grimm floated next the chairman of the GCCF warranting his attention. The Grimm didn't shock Magnanimous with its appearance, in fact he looked as if was expecting it.

Watts image was casted from the jellyfish.

"How are scans of the mech coming along?"

"You tell me, my drones haven't left that mechs side for a second. Why are you even checking in on me? Don't trust aliens monkey-man?"

"You'll find I'm not

one easily flustered by mere words."

"Your mustache is crooked."

"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW," Watts cut himself and took a deep breath. " I spend one hour every overmorrow in grooming this masterpiece."

Watts watched as K-9 activated his jets, while Key-Rusher bear hugged him from behinds. The sound of structural damage beginning before the two rose high before pivoting and come Key-Rusher first. Standing, K-9 grabbed the crushing units arms while stomping a foot on its chest. Watts briefly wondered how much more force was needed before the arms ripped off before they did just that.

"Get a few scans of his team as well and prepare for phase 2." He ordered as K-9 went for pin.

Atlas Academy

"That is why, starting now the Ace-Ops will be taking our pilot training seriously." Clover commented receiving 20 lien from Hare and Vine.

"He just got lucky. Half that team aren't even Hunters."

"That will be changing soon." Spoke up Ironwood typing away at his scroll. He will need to make a few additions to the teaching staff but if all goes right Team-AWMO (ammo) will compete in Vytal Tournament, there are no rules forbidding giant robots.

Ring

"Another Victory, admirable job specialist Amin." Winter complimented before tagging his hand and jumping in to take Oblivion, a giant green robot with a rapid rotating body.

Frostbyte grabbed the other robot by the head before shooting skyward, she edged up to the atmosphere before letting go. Winter had spent time, earlier, scanning the other robots to plan strategies. With no jet system visible or otherwise built into Oblivion this seemed the easiest route to take.

"FROSTBYTE WINS IT WITH AN ORBITAL DEATH STRIKE and beating the current champs time! Can you believe she used to be the co-pilot to the Blue Monster?" Magnanimous began, "The T-Team is down to one member. Can T-Bot make a come back?"

Thrashing and groaning of metal off screen interrupted his hype speech panning over revealed T-Bot stand triumphantly on the pile of three team gas members.

"I came! I saw! I whooped you all!"

"Hey, no one does that to my friends!" Mrgas jumped into the ring. "But! Me!"

Mrgas rushed the challenger throwing his leg into T-Bot torso followed by a double hammer blow to the back, T-Bot fell to a knee before throwing a wild uppercut knocking Mrgas away. T-Bot rushed Mrgas, who was ready as they locked hands, Jaune snarled as he shifted gears going into a headbutt, lifting a leg Mrgas kicked the pitiful fool away

Mrgas was about to charge but was stopped as two robots held him place for T-Bot to start beating. Jaune began to panic as he hit random buttons, Mrgas kicked T-Bot away before aiming his fist at either head, both fists fired off taking the robots with them in the ensuing explosion.

"Alright you bucket of scrap! You insulted my friends! You tried to cheat! And Now! Bleiss is horny and I got nowhere to run! I'M TAKING YOU TO THE MAT!" Jaune ranted trying to ignore Bleiss being handsy. Jaune would love to more of his rants but angry Jaune makes a horny Bleiss. Bringing his arms back up two bigger and shinier sets of hands took the place old, Mrgas rushed forward delivery a barrage of punches.

"Let me introduce you to the double deuce!" Mrgas brought both its mighty fists down on T-Bots shoulders, ripping them off before holding the but over his head, one hand held his head as the pulled the leg ripping T-Bot in half. "That's why I'm. The. Champ!" Jaune exclaimed, adrenaline still flowing he grabbed Bleiss and gave her a kiss that blew her mind. A moment later Jaune's mind caught up to what he is doing, before he could get out the car Bleiss pulled him back in, the windows began to fog over as Jaune screamed for help.

Later: Gas Station

Team Gas are celebrating their win with a giant dinner put together by Jaune and surprisingly Bleiss. It makes sense that she would know how to cook with the type of man Jaune is. Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes, lamb, turkey, chicken and plenty of gravy lined the table with even more food on it's way. Winter would have asked when Bleiss had started taking lessons in cooking but the wonderful flavor staved off her curiosity.

"Admirable job, Team Gas. You four have proven to the galaxy once again we are not to be trifled with." Winter complimented receiving a plate of momma Arc's Philly cheesesteaks.

"I actually had a good time, up until T-Bot wrecked us but," Marrow tried to control his tail from wagging happily. "Screw it, even that part was exciting."

"Speak for yourself, you know how much Skalgar's paint cost?" Oscar asked before taking a bite of his food and humming in satisfaction. "Jaune you gotta share the recipe."

"Don't worry about it Oscar for helping Jaune and getting me a shitton of money, let me reimburse you for any and all damages, just send the bill to me." Bleiss offered her favorite brother. Just then Ironwood walked into the Gas Station followed by several others. Everyone stood and saluted the General, well except Jaune as he ate stuffing by the handful, embarrassing Ironwood in front of the lucky contestants that entered the 'Meet and Greet' raffle it one individual captured the attention of most of the team as she approached Jaune first and foremost. Her amber eyes seemed to burn as she locked onto Jaune.

"Hello, I am Cinder." Elm ushered Cinder back over to the group so they could proceed with the greet, consisting of eating with the team, followed by a showing of the cockpits and a robot flown tour of Atlas. Cinder studied every switch and button Jaune either labeled or activated during the hours the event happened in, while confused about the car and the video game controllers Cinder maintained her cover, even with the disgust she felt at most of Jaune's behavior but it was all with it to have the information she needed on how to power something like this.

"To put it shortly, you need an engine not powered off dust." Jaune gave his answer. "My own engines are powered by aura and that has its own draw backs if you don't have storage units places in these key areas." Jaune brought up a display highlighting Mrgas chest where a heart would be along with a spinal column.

The Ace-Ops announced the end of the meet and greet and as Cinder stood, she addressed Jaune while taking an inconspicuous picture.

"Thank you Mr. Arc, this meeting has been very informative."
