Well whatever the issue the site was having is gone. It was a real pain in the ass for me, as I know it was for the rest of you. Seriously, what the hell happened? At least it's been fixed.
Anyway, it seems that Trump is losing to Biden and I am holding my breath that we get a new president, one who actually knows what he's doing and has actual political experience.
Oh, and who else is pissed that Rooster Teeth took down all of RWBY from Youtube? I know I am.
Now onto reviews.
Luffy L Deathwalker: Well, the glitch is fixed so now I've been able to catch up on several stories I like to read, especially those in the Star Wars and RWBY categories.
Darth Cody: Well, the glitch is gone. In regards to March being part of the food fight, I guess I didn't think about that.
54godamora: You could say that.
Jack Smith1: I know of the concept of time travel, but I have not played Warhammer so I wouldn't know about this Wrap thing you are talking about. But thanks for saying that you love the story.
Alright, anyone who reviews later will have their reviews answered at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimers are the same as before. Please read and review.
Chapter 15: The Plan
A large and unnerving ship descends upon the landing pad of Beacon as two Bullheads fly by, followed by several F35 Broadswords and F22 Longsowrds belonging to the Atlas Air Force. As people swarmed the paths around beacon like ants, Ozpin, Glynda, Kit, Plo and Aayla watched the scene from the window of Ozpin's office. "I'm sensing an usual amount of irritation coming from you, Miss Goodwitch." Kit observed.
"You would be right, Master Jedi." Glynda said with a groan before looking back to the ships and fighters streaking through the air. "Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels."
"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." Ozpin answered as three more bullheads flew in. "But yes, those are a bit of an eyesore." He added.
"It would seem that Ironwood is preparing for the worst-case scenario." Plo noted.
"This is feeling all too familiar." Aayla added in agreement, remembering when the Jedi Temple used to have military personal in it from time to time.
A chirping sound beeped and Ozpin noticed that he had someone waiting for him at the door to his office. "Come in." he said into the system. The doors facing Ozpins desk open and revealed General Ironwood.
"Ozpin." Ironwood said cordially.
"Hello, General." Ozpin said standing at attention.
"Please, drop the formalities." James said, shaking Ozpins hand as Glynda approaches the two. "It's been too long. And Glynda! It has certainly been too long since we last met." He added.
"Oh, James!" Glynda said with a personable wave before she dropped the pleasantries." I'll be outside." She said and walked away.
"Well, she hasn't changed a bit." The General noted before he took notice of Ayala, Kit, and Plo. "I take it these are three of the several Jedi you spoke of?" he asked.
"That is correct, General. I am Jedi Master Plo Koon of the former Jedi council. This is Kit Fisto and Ayala Secura, my fellow Jedi." Plo Koon stated, introducing the three of them to the General.
"So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." Ozpin noted, picking up a mug and kettle from his desk and poured to cups of coffee, one of which he offered to Ironwood.
"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of year." Ironwood began, taking out a canteen from inside his coat pocket and poured the contents into his mug. "Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." He added.
"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned and I am sure that our guests also feel the same way." Ozpin stated.
"Well, concern is what brought them here." Ironwood answered, with a concerned look.
"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult." Ozpin began before Ironwood simply told him that the both of them knew why the General brough his men with him. After taking a sip from his mug, he set the mug down. "We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin stated.
"I am concerned about the situation myself. The number of soldiers you brought to Vale appears to me that you are preparing for war. I don't it is with the Empire." Aayla stated.
"But if what Qrow said is true…" Ironwoof began.
"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully. It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So, I suggest that you not scare people be transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the world." Ozpin emphasized.
"I'm just being cautious." Ironwood said in defense of his actions.
"As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can." Ozpin reminded the general.
"But it is not just the White Fang and the Grimm we are dealing with now. This Empire you told me about. They attacked Atlas." Ironwood said, getting the attention of the other four in the room. "Several days after the Jedi and Mr. Marek destroyed the Imperials that came to our planet, one our airbases was completely destroyed. The attacker piloted an advanced fighter unlike anything we'd ever seen and singlehandedly destroyed not only the base and everyone stationed there, but destroyed almost all of the Sabre and Sentinel prototypes and left Lieutenant Gelé as the only survivor of Mobius Squadron. The attacker than killed everyone on the ground with a weapon similar to what the Jedi use. I believe that the Empire might have sent someone else to the planet to eliminate a threat." Ironwood suggested.
"More then likely, the fighter that was sent came only to investigate the loss of contact with the fleet that abducted one of the students. All of their ships were destroyed, so it is logical for the Empire to send a someone to investigate the lost fleet." Kit surmised.
"If that's the case, then it seems that bringing my men here was the right course of action." Ironwood said.
"Bringing in the military will only make the kingdom more of a target. During the Clone Wars, many planets loyal to the Republic had a fleet protecting them from the threat of Separatist invasion. This only made them a target for the Separatists. Ryloth was on such world and when the planet was finally liberated, many Twi'leks died from starvation, fire-bombings ordered by the Separatists and had much of their treasures stolen. Your intentions may be noble, but they could potentially backfire." Plo said to the General.
"Believe me, Master Jedi, I know and I am prepared to take the risk." Ironwood said and walked to the door way. "But ask yourself this, Ozpin: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?"
"I hope they never have to." Ozpin answered. Ironwood soon left the office, leaving him alone with Aayla, Kit and Plo. "I assume you have many questions about what we were talking about? Well, I suppose that since you are here to help us, I'll tell you about it." He said to the three Jedi Masters.
Meanwhile, at airbase not far from the kingdom several F35 Broadsword landed on the bases runway after escorting several Atlas Ships to Beacon. Much like the F22 Longsword, the F35 Broadsword is a single seat, stealth fighter designed for engaging enemies in both air-to-air, electronic warfare, surveillance, reconnaissance and air-to-ground combat. Compared to the Longsword, the Broadsword can be launched from carriers out at sea or in the air. Compared to the two engines of the Longsword, the Broadsword had a single engine afterburning turbofan dust engine, giving it a speed of Mach 1.6, several times slower than the Dagger and Longsword. For weapons, the Broadsword was primarily armed with two internally mounted 25mm cannons which more effective against ground targets than the 20mms used by other aircraft. Both cannons carried a total of twelve hundred rounds, giving the pilots twenty-four hundred rounds of ammo. The six wing-tip pylons could carry various types of missiles or bombs, useful on missions when stealth isn't required. When stealth is required its internal weapons bay carried up to twenty-four missiles, bombs and other weapons depending on the mission the pilots were given.
The key difference between the Broadsword and other fighter aircraft is its VTOL ability like Bullhead and Manta craft. This allowed the pilots to lay down suppressing fire with their cannons for advancing troops.
Exiting the cockpit of one of the Broadsword was Lieutenant Colonel William Bishop, leader of the 108th tactical fighter squadron, known as Warwolf squadron. At thirty years old, with brown hair and brown eyes, Bishop was a veteran pilot who had flown dozens of combat missions against those who threatened the kingdom of Vale and its citizens. More than often these missions put him in combat with the White Fang, while he was a soldier Bishop held no remorse for the current White Fang, but respected the old leader and supported the Faunus and their goal for equality, especially when he heard rumors that the current High Leader actually wants peace with humanity. He even allowed several Faunus pilots into his squadron when many other squadrons flatly refused to allow the Faunus to fly with them.
His wingman, Jose 'Guts' Gutierrez, callsign Warwolf 2, a male black cat Faunus with black hair, brown eyes, tan skin and black cat ears exited his own fighter and walked over to Colonel Bishop with Dante by his side. "Colonel. Mobius 1 here has been assigned to our squadron. He's also the only one who survived that attack by 'Mr. X' several weeks ago." Jose said to the colonel, saluting his superior officer.
"Glad to have you onboard Lieutenant." Colonel Bishop answered and returned the salute. "Not going to lie to you, I'm not so sure about working with the nephew of the guy in charge of the SDC especially considering his 'tactics'." He added as the three walked away from the hanger as crews began to work on their planes.
"Yeah, a guy like Jacque clearly values money over basic rights to people. Both human and Faunus, not to mention the influence he has on some of the Atlas council." Jose said in agreement.
"That's true. But I've read your file, Lieutenant. You're nothing like your uncle, you follow your own beliefs and that makes you a better man then he is. You protected those people on the ships your old squadron attacked. I admire that, so I expect the best from you." Bishop said, getting Dante to smile. "Now go stow your gear in the barracks and we'll give you a tour of the base." He added.
"One question sir. What about the Galm Team? I've been told that one of the pilots they trained is in the hospital after suffering serious injuries from a fight with some type of machine." Dante asked.
"He's still recovering, but he's been moved to Beacon. Something to do with Ozpin, I think. I don't know the details, but I'm sure Trigger will be back on his feet in no time and flying with us soon." The Colonel added.
He wasn't wrong, in Beacon's Infirmary Rick Autumn slowly awoke and the first sight he saw was a small three-month-old Black Lab puppy looking at him directly in the eyes, who soon gave him a big wet kiss on the face. "Hey, hey, hey, hey. Who's the wise guy who left a dog on my…" he began before he took in his surroundings. "Hospital bed? What happened to me?" he asked, struggling to get up.
"Come on kiddo, I thought you'd be happy to get a dog? Didn't you say you wanted one when you were old enough?" a voice said from nearby. Craning his neck, Rick saw a young woman with tanned skin, violet eyes, light blonde hair tied in a pony-tail, a pair beauty marks underneath her right eye and left side under her mouth. The clothing of the woman consisted of a red double-breasted sleeveless vest, light grey short-sleeved shirt, brown pants tucked into black knee-high boots with brown cuffs and black archery styled gloves with the index finger missing from both gloves. On her left arm was a crossbow. "Do you know how worried I was when you didn't call me after several weeks? You told me that if you found anything you would contact me. You aren't the only one who's worried about your sister you know." The woman said.
"Aunt Robyn, what are you doing here?" Rick asked.
"What do you think I'm doing here? I'm here because I was worried sick about my nephew." Robyn answered and wrapped her arms around Rick. "You know damn well that you mean a lot to me, as does your sister. You're the only other family I have and I promised your parents I would look after the two of you after they died. I just didn't think you'd get into a lot of trouble just to go looking for your sister." She added.
"But what about..." Rick began.
"Mantle can last without me for a while. Fiona, Joanna and May can handle things and besides, whoever said a Huntress can't visit her family." Robyn answered. "Plus, it's a good excuse for me to give you that present you always wanted when you were a kid. Say hello to Onyx, your new dog." She added, holding the puppy from earlier which leapt onto the bed and started to lick Ricks face. "He's a lover." Robyn said with a chuckle.
"Lucky me." Rick said with sarcasm before he noticed his lightsabers, rifle and armor nearby. "Seems that someone decided to leave my armor and weapons here. Hey, Aunt Robyn remember those stories you told me about those warriors called Jedi? I think I might have met one of them before everything went black." He said as he sat up straight in the bed.
Meanwhile, in another part of Beacon, more specifically the library Team RWBY was playing Remnant: The Game. Yang, Weiss and Blake, who was distracted by recent events waited as Ruby contemplated her next move. "Hmm… All right… All right!" she said to herself before turning to her sister. "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!" she declared.
"Bring it on!" Yang challenged, thrusting her elbow down and balled up her fist.
"I deploy the Atlesian Air Fleet!" she declared, slapping down her down on the table while her sister feigns a look of shock. "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly!" Ruby said, making noises that sound like airplanes flying and fighting.
"You fiend!" Yang said, feigning indignance and pointing at her sister.
"And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time is only one turn." Ruby said, now ducked at one end of the table. However, her moment of victory was shattered when Yang started to laugh arrogantly.
"Pretty sneaky, sis, but you just activated my trap card!" Yang said, raising a card which Ruby was very disturbed by. "Giant Nevermore!" she declared, slamming down her own card on the table. "If I roll a seven or higher, fatal feathers will slice your fleet in two!"
"But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!" Ruby countered.
"That's just a chance I'm willing to take." Yang challenged.
While the two half-sisters played made their turn, Team JNPR were studying for one of their classes, except for Nora for was asleep and dreaming about pancakes as game pieces from Team RWBY's game which from the sound of things meant that Ruby's attack had failed and Yang beat her badly. As Yang finished collecting her rewards from the victory over her sister, she turned to Weiss who had no idea of what she was doing, which Yang took to her advantage and offered a strategy to her teammate, even 'threatening' her teammate if she attacked her.
"And that means…" Weiss asked in confusion.
"You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant!" Ruby said sadly, having been knocked out of the game.
Weiss was then quick to stand up as if a clap of thunder was heard before she laugh, albeit psychotic and overjoyed. "Yes! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms!" she said, enjoying herself a little too much before Yang ruined her moment.
"Trap card…" Yang said interrupting Weiss's moment to shine before shuffling the pieces on the board in a puff of smoke. "Your armies have been destroyed."
"I hate this game of emotions we play!" Weiss whined and slumped into her chair, just before Ruby hoped into Weiss's lap.
"Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!" Ruby said in an effort to comfort her teammate which Weiss didn't seem to like but still hugged her teammate.
"Alright Blake, you're up!" Yang said to the cat Faunus who was deep in thought.
"Oh, um, sorry, what am I doing?" Blake asked.
"You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant!" Yang answered.
"Right." Blake said, unexcitedly.
"Is everything alright, Blake?" Serra asked as she walked into the library. "You seem to have a lot on your mind."
"I'm fine, Serra. Really, I'm fine. I've just been focused on my studies, that's all." Blake lied. Serra sensed that she was lying, but didn't bother to press any further. Just then Sun and his friend from before entered the library.
"'Sup losers." Sun said, holding his fingers in a peace sign.
"Hey Sun!" Ruby greeted.
"Ruby, Yang, Blake… Ice Queen." Sun said to the four girls, though Weiss didn't like being called 'Ice Queen' again.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that?" She asked.
"I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend." Sun said, gesturing to his friend.
"Uhh, aren't libraries for reading?" the blue haired boy asked.
Ren heard him and raised his arms up. "Thank you!" he shouted, waking Nora up.
"Pancakes!" The orange haired girl shouted.
"Shut up. Don't be a nerd." Sun said to his friend, who just shook his finger at the monkey Faunus, claiming he was an 'intellectual' type of person before he introduced himself as Neptune.
"So, Neptune, where are you from?" Weiss asked.
"Haven." Neptune answered and approached Weiss. "And I don't believe I've got your name, snow angel." He said, putting on the charm.
"Um, I'm Weiss." The Schnee heiress answered, not noticing that Jaune put his hand to his face in amazement that the new guy was hitting on Weiss, when everyone else who tried to do so ended up failing, badly.
"Is your friend always like this with girls?" Serra whispered to Sun.
"Unfortunately, ma'am, he is." Sun answered. "Oh, I'm Sun Wukong by the way, miss…?"
"Serra. Serra Keto." Serra introduced herself.
"Nice name." Sun answered, before he noticed the lightsabers on her belt. He then turned to Blake. "I never took you as the board game playing type." He said to Blake.
"Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually. I'll see you guys later." She said, shoving Sun aside and leaving the library.
"Women." Nora said with a shrug.
In another part of Beacon, Rose and March watched as Galen and Arthur sparred with each other. Rather than using training weapons, both combatants opted to use their weapons especially since Arthurs weapons were made with Beskar, better known as Mandalorian Iron. According to what Arthur told him, his ancestors forged his families sword centuries ago using the mysterious iron they found in Solitas. Knowing that most people would kill to get this metal, Arthur's family kept it hidden for years and used it to craft not only their weapons, but some even used it to forge their armor.
Such was the case for Arthur. Using what little Beskar was left after his parents fell in the line of duty was, he was only fourteen. "Hold nothing back, my friend. I want you to come at me with your best." Arthur said, challenging his leader and unsheathed his sword.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Galen said with smirk, igniting his lightsabers.
"Alright, I want a nice clean fight from the two of you. No low blows or underhanded tactics. Just your skills." March said from the sidelines before he raised his shotgun and fired a shot to start to the fight. Once the shot was fired, Galen was caught unprepared for Arthur who charged right at him, who then scored a hit on Galen's aura.
"This should be fun." Arthur said with a smirk and swung his sword at Galen again, who this time blocked the attack. "I've always wanted to spar with you, Galen. Your skills with a lightsaber are impressive." He admitted.
"I could say the same for you." Galen remarked. "I've heard that you come from a long line of warriors. Your family has been fighting the Grimm for years and many of your ancestors became huntsmen and huntresses, spanning generations." He added, swinging his sabers at Arthur who ducked the attack.
"You are well informed. Yes, the Penwolfs have been warriors for generations, beginning our training at a young age but not robbing the young of their childhood." Arthur admitted, raising Excalibur and blocking another of Galen's attacks. "My family follows the code of the ancient knights, but that does not mean we live in the past. As time moves on, our tactics and weapons evolve. One such example is the gun mode of my gauntlets." He stated.
"And something tells me you keep your families sword maintained, right?" Galen asked, sheathing his green saber before holding his blue saber with both hands.
"You are indeed correct. At one point, we Penwolfs created our own weapons, which have proven to be effective against the Grimm. But with the discovery of Dust, we began to contract the most skilled of craftsmen to enhance our weapons with Dust capabilities and ranged capabilities." Arthur answered, swinging his blade at Galen who blocked each of the attacks.
"This is getting good." March whispered to Rose from the sidelines, holding a box of popcorn and stuffing his face full of the popped corn kernels, much to Rose's surprise and disgust.
"Use a napkin." Rose said, offering him such a cloth.
"At one point, we even asked the Schnee Dust Company to assist us in the upgrade of Excalibur. We Penwolfs once had a good relationship with the Schnee's protecting the people of the various mining towns and mines all across kingdoms while urging them to respect the land." Arthur continued as he put Galen and himself into a blade lock with both of them struggling for victory over the other. "Nicholas Schnee had always trusted our word, but that changed when he stepped down and Jacque Schnee took over. Jacque had no respect for my family or our warrior ways and was quick to back out of the deal to upgrade Excalibur. My parents tried to reason with him, but he refused to listen to us and kept the plans to upgrade my families sword for himself, hoping to patent it off as his own. Thankfully, many of the craftsmen who worked for the company left after Jacque took over, disgusted by his actions. And when the White Fang started to attack the Schnee's, he went as far as to claim that my parents were part of the White Fang."
"They weren't, were they?" Galen questioned.
"No, they weren't. But the new White Fang tried to get my parents to teach them the art of swordsmanship. They refused and the White Fang have called my family traitors to all the Faunus. As for myself, they called me a mistake since I am part human and Faunus. The slander given to my family caused many people to distrust us and that in turn lead to negative emotions." Arthur stated.
"Which brings in the Grimm." Galen added.
"Yes. One such town in Vale was attacked by the Grimm four years ago and while the town ordered us to leave, my parents and I stayed behind to protect the town. My father ordered me to assist and protect the civilians while he and my mother held off the Grimm. I did so, but when the civilians were evacuated, I went after my parents and found them to be mortally wounded. Before my father died, he told me that he was proud of me and gave me Excalibur. Losing my parents, I became enraged and, in my fury, killed all of the Grimm. Since then I lived on my own but always remembered what I was taught." Arthur said with sadness before he knocked Galen's lightsaber out of his hands.
"Looks like I lost." Galen said with a smile as Arthur sheathed his sword.
"You are a skilled warrior and a worthy foe. I am proud to call you my leader." Arthur said with a smile.
"I'm sorry about your parents, I know what its like to lose your parents. But during the fights against the Grimm in the Emerald Forest. You became more brutal, ruthless and even a bit reckless. That combination will get you killed. I understand you want to honor your parents, but you need to exercise caution. You're afraid of history repeating itself, that's why you don't trust people right away." Galen surmised.
"That is indeed true." Artoria said from behind as she walked into the training room. "Even though he has lived alone for four years, I know that Arthur wants to prevent another incident like the one that claimed his parents from happening again. Isn't that right, cousin?" she said.
"Wait, cousin?" March asked in surprise.
"Yes. Artoria Penwolf. My older cousin on my mothers' side and one of General Ironwoods specialists." Arthur confirmed.
"You didn't tell us you had a cousin." Rose said in equal surprise.
"You didn't ask." Arthur answered as he walked over to Artoria and gave her a hug. "Its been too long, Artoria."
"It certainly has been. I can see you have been doing well for yourself since you entered Beacon. I must say, I am impressed. I hope you have gotten stronger." Artoria said with a smile. She then turned to Galen and the others. "Are these your teammates?" she asked.
"Yes. The Rabbit Faunus over there is March Evergreen. The girl with the dog is Rose Henry and the boy I was fighting, is Galen Marek." Arthur said, introducing his teammates. "Together, we form Team GARM and have been through many 'interesting' adventures during the first semester." He added.
"Such as fighting a group called the Galactic Empire, in which your leader, Galen brought down an entire ship?" Artoria questioned, getting the others to look at her in shock. "Headmaster Ozpin informed General Ironwood about the encounter with these foes, who then told me and several other specialists about this. I was also told that your leader is a Jedi. I must say that it is an honor to meet a Jedi." She said with a bow.
"The honor's mine, I guess." Galen said, a little unsure about what to make about this.
"Why are you here, Artoria? I thought you were dealing with the White Fang in Atlas?" Arthur questioned. While he was grateful to see his cousin, he was unsure about her motives for being here, especially since he saw all of those ships from Atlas arriving just a few hours ago.
"The White Fang cell in Atlas has gone into hiding. Intelligence about their new hideout hasn't come to us yet, but the Ace Ops have the situation under control for the time being. As to why I'm here, General Ironwood gave an assignment regarding the White Fang cell in Vale." Artoria answered. "I'm afraid the assignment is top secret, military information. What I can tell you is that we've learned that the plans for the upgrades to both Excalibur and Caliburn may be in the city. I have an informant who is looking for the exact location of the plans, but I would appreciate any help I could get from both my cousin and his team." She added.
"How long will it be before you find the location?" Arthur asked.
"My informant should have the location in a day or two. Until then, try not to get into any trouble." She said with a smile and left team GARM. "Oh, and Mr. Marek. I believe that General Ironwood would like to speak with you." She added.
Hours past and nighttime soon came upon Beacon. While everyone else was just talking about classes, hanging with their friends or going about their lives, Blake just sat on her bed with her knee's folded to her chest, looking out to the night sky. Her mind was plagued by thoughts about what happened at the docks, more specifically what Torchwick told her about he and the White Fang working together.
Her thoughts then drifted to the conversation she had with Ozpin after the battle at the docks. She may not have said anything, but the situation was actually bothering her greatly. The White Fang would never work with a human, especially one like Roman. Something must have happened after she left the White Fang and it was bothering her immensely.
"I sense you're concerned about the situation with the White Fang." Ahsoka said from the doorway, catching Blake by surprise. "I would be too if I were you." She said, grabbing a chair and taking a seat.
"I didn't think my problems warrant the concern of a Jedi." Blake admitted.
"You seem to forget, Blake. I'm about the same age as you and whatever's bothering you seems to be eating at you day and night." Ahsoka said. "If you keep your problems to yourself, they'll only grow worse. So, why not talk about it." She reminded. Just then the rest of Blake's team and Rufus entered the room, the dog walking up to Ahsoka before it sat by her feet.
"If you're talking about the way Blake is acting, I agree. Lately, she's been quiet, antisocial and moody!" Weiss said in agreement.
"Uh, have you met Blake?" Yang asked the Heiress.
"Which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual! Which quite frankly, is unacceptable! You made a promise to me, to all of us, that you would let us know if something was wrong!" Weiss added, before she flipped through the air. "So, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong!?" she asked, pointing her finger at Blake and balancing precariously on the back feet of another chair, which she then quickly put away.
A knock on the door got the attention of Ruby and the others who turned to see Galen and his team standing in the doorway. "I just, I don't understand how everyone can be so calm." Blake admitted.
"This is about Torchwick isn't it?" Ruby asked.
"Torchwick, the White Fang, those droids, all of it! Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it!" Blake stated.
"Ozpin told us not to worry about. Between the police, Huntsmen, military and the Jedi, I'm sure they can handle it." Yang said trying to assure Blake but failed.
"Well I'm not! They don't know the White Fang like I do!" Blake countered.
"She does have a point." Galen admitted. "She's been a part of the White Fang for practically almost her entire life. She would know a lot more about the group then any of us, especially their more 'recent' actions." Galen stated.
There was a long pause before Weiss reminded them that while they have stopped bad guys in the past, that something like this was beyond their capabilities. "Uh, have you forgotten that I was able to take down an entire Star Destroyer with only my mind before it could destroy the city?" Galen reminded the heiress.
"I haven't, but we're not ready for this sort of thing." Weiss said again.
"And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!" Blake shouted.
By now, Ruby had an idea. "Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest huntsmen and huntresses to single-handedly take down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale… say aye." She said in a hyper active tone.
"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!" Yang said to Blake with an enthusiastic fist pump.
"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss added.
"If it means we get to kick some bad guys assess, then I'm in." Rose said.
"If they threaten the innocent, then I will gladly help in bringing these fools to justice." Arthur added. "I am also sure that my cousin will be willing to assist us."
"I've always wanted to take on the White Fang ever since the night at the docks!" March said excitedly.
"None of you said aye!" Ruby said in disappointment.
"You'll need some help if you run into any battle droids or guys with blasters. So, I'll be helping you out whether you want me to or not." Ahsoka said.
Everyone then turned to Galen. "Even if I said no, I would be out voted since everyone already agreed to this plan. So, to appease Ruby, aye." He said which made Ruby smile.
"Alright then, we're in this together!" Blake said.
"Let's hatch a plan!" Ruby said with excitement.
"Yeah!" Yang said with excitement, only seconds later did Ruby realize that she had left her board game in the library and was quick to go back and get it.
"Hey, Ruby! You might want to slow down or else you'll…" Galen began before he heard a crashing sound from the hallway and found Ruby lying on the ground in front of several students wearing a uniform he didn't recognize.
"Visiting from Haven, actually." A girl with black hair and amber eyes said as she walked up to Ruby. Ruby seemed to believe that they were here for the Vytal Festival, but Galen on the other hand sensed something dark and evil about the three students. After Ruby pointed them in the direction of the exchange student dorms did the three students leave. Galen kept an eye on Cinder, noting that she looked to be a bit older than most students.
"They seem nice." Ruby said to Galen.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. I sense something off about them. That girl with the black hair, I sense the dark side surrounding her. Be on your guard, Ruby. They may not be who they say they are." He warned and followed after Ruby.
Meanwhile, at the Airbase where the Galm Team was stationed at, Rick and Robyn arrived to see Rick's red and white fighter jet, the S35 being maintained and readied for take off at a moments notice. "You know, I always hated the idea of you flying in the sky, but with the way things are going we're going to need every pilot we can get." Robyn said as Larry and Aaron walked over.
"Let's not forget the kids old enough to make his own choices." Larry stated. "We'll keep him out of trouble." He assured Robyn who trusted the Galm Team completely and left the airbase, after making Rick promise that he would visit her when he wasn't working on his plane.
And done.
Now, Warwolf Squadron is from Ace Combat Assault Horizon, which unlike several Ace Combat games, takes place in our world.
Second, I brought in Robyn Hill early and made her the aunt of Rick Autumn. I like her and her voice actor.
Third, for those who forgot. Artoria Penwolf is basically Saber from Fate/Stay Night. I figured I would bring in an OC that is the cousin of Spartan-626's OC Arthur Penwolf. I hope I did a good job with Arthur's back story and the material used in his weapons and armor.
Forth and most importantly, Galen has met Cinder, Mercury and Emerald and already doesn't trust them. The Force works in mysterious ways, but this warning is something Galen will be concerned about, especially if it means keeping Ruby safe.
Speaking of which, I need team attack names for Team GARM for the mech fight with Torchwick. Arthur uses bladed weapons, Rose ranged weapons and March uses a shotgun sword for close range combat. I could really use some attack names for next chapter.
Oh, before I forget, I could use some help in trying to figure out what to give Galen for his semblance. I could use any help I can get.
Anyway, please read and review and I'll see you all next time.
