A full-blown riot was ravaging the streets of Vale. Junior was watching the Bixby show through a display window outside an electronics store. His van was parked behind him. On the television, Bixby was accompanied by two beautiful women.
"Happy birthday! She's from me," One of the women said.
"Can I have you both?" Bixby asked excitedly.
"Sure. We've had our shots," The other girl replied.
Weiss sighed deeply. "That tasteless old show again."
"It speaks volumes about Vale's taste in entertainment," Glynda said, also finding the Bixby show to be tacky.
"Blech! It reminds of Merlot with those women earlier," Coco reminisced with disgust.
A group of rioters approached the storefront and smashed the display window. They grabbed a few electronics and ran off.
Junior passively reached through the broken window to turn up the volume of the Bixby show
"I'd buy that for a lien!" Bixby said his catchphrase.
Junior chuckled at the program while leaning against his van. Behind him, rioters ran about breaking into stores and carrying stolen items.
"Qrow's counterpart was right. The city is tearing itself apart," Port said with sorrow.
"And it was already on the brink of collapse," Ozpin added with sorrow, although he was grateful the real Vale wasn't such a hellhole.
Roman pulled up near Junior in a two-door sedan and stepped out.
"Hey, Junior," Roman hollered. "How's the Gray Bar Hotel?"
Junior shook Roman's hand.
"Not bad. They let me keep the shirt," Junior replied as he opened his jacket, revealing a prison issue shirt.
Yuma and Tuskon pulled up in a 6000 VUX behind Junior and stepped out.
"Nobody popped my cherry," Junior added as he went to greet the other gang members.
Ruby blinked. "Pop his cherry? What does that mean?"
Everyone, especially Yang, Blake, and Weiss all exchanged nervous glances from Ruby's innocent question.
"I'll tell you when you're older," Yang answered in a low voice.
"Junior, how you doing, man? Good to see you!" Tuskon said, clapping his friend on the back.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Yuma hollered as he high fived Junior.
"First they let me out of jail for free," Yuma said excitedly. "Then what do I find in the prison parking lot but a brand new 6000 VUX. Still got the factory sticker on it!"
Yuma laughed pridefully at his new ill-gotten ride.
"Lucky bastard. I'd love a car like that," Qrow muttered enviously.
"Knowing you, you'd probably wreck it while drunk driving," Winter said with a smirk.
Ironwood grinned at Qrow, the latter scowling at Winter.
"Roman, Yuma's got a car just like yours, man," Tuskon said to his smirking boss.
"Yo, Roman, what do you think, buddy?" Yuma asked, cackling as he put his arm around Tuskon.
Roman opened his car door and reached inside.
"What do you got there, Roman?" Yuma asked curiously.
Roman's smile broadened as he pulled out an anti-material rifle with a high-powered scope.
Ruby drooled slightly at the sight of the formidable weapon until Yang gently shut her mouth for her.
"Easy, little sis," Yang giggled.
Ruby sheepishly rubbed the back of her head.
The goons all looked impressed by the weapon.
"Whoa! A new toy! Can I play?" Yuma asked.
Watch this," Roman said as he aimed the large rifle at Yuma's 6000 VUX.
Yuma's smile vanished. "Wa...wait a minute, Roman! Roman!"
Roman ignored Yuma and pulled the trigger. The CAC blew the 6000 VUX , startling the nearby rioters.
"Whoa!" Sun and Neptune said simultaneously.
"That's some remarkable firepower," Oobleck remarked.
Ruby would have been more infatuated with the CAC if it weren't wielded by Roman.
The other gang members laughed at the destroyed car.
"Shit! What the fuck?" Yuma shouted in outrage.
"Nice car, Yuma," Roman taunted.
"Fuck you, Roman!"
"Serves you right, you bastard," Coco jeered.
"Not like it was his car in the first place," Velvet added.
"Let me try that," Junior requested.
Roman handed the gun to Junior. "Cobra Assault Cannon. State of the art. Bang! Bang!"
Junior took aim at a nearby shop and pulled the trigger. The entire front of the store exploded in a burst of debris and flames. An alarm was set off by the explosion.
"Damn! It can blow up buildings too?" Ruby said, mesmerized and worried for her father.
"Robocops gonna be hard pressed to take down Roman now," Pyrrha fretted now that the Torchwick gang wielded such powerful weapons.
"Yeah, but now he's got Glynda backing him up," Jaune reminded.
"I like it!" Junior announced loudly.
"Give it up, faggot. Let a man try it!" Yuma demanded, trying to take the rifle.
Junior hogged the CAC from Yuma. "No, butthole! Get your own!"
Roman broke up the two arguing thugs. "Come on! Come on!"
Yuma took the CAC from Junior and whooped as he fired at another car down the road. The round went clean through a fire hydrant and reduced the car behind it to a fiery wreck. Yuma laughed hysterically at the destruction.
"I'm so sick of that hooligan's laughter," Weiss groaned in irritation.
"I know. It's so annoying," Blake agreed, her sensitive ears caused discomfort by Yumas cackle.
"Let's hope Robocop shuts him up for good," Qrow said, eager to witness Romans gang being wiped out.
"Get the other gun, Junior!" Roman ordered.
Roman pulled the other CAC from Roman's car while Yuma ran down the street.
"No car is safe!" Yuma hollered.
"Do it, Junior!" Tuskon cheered on.
Yuma aimed and fired again, blowing a nearby pickup truck to bits, laughing maniacally all the way. Roman and Tuskon laughed and applauded, relishing in the havoc.
"So immature. They're like children with toys," Glynda scoffed.
"They're criminals. What do you expect?" Ironwood said, sipping a glass of water.
"Heads up, you guys!" Junior warned as he blew up a porno shop.
Tuskon took a sniff of cocaine from his snuff bottle while Roman examined a GPS given to him by Watts.
"He's in the steel mill. Let's go," Roman ordered.
"Back to where it all started," Velvet said.
"And where it's going to end," Coco added.
"All right, cut the horseshit! We're moving out!" Tuskon hollered at Yuma and Junior.
Roman climbed into his car. "Come on, Junior! Get your ass in the van!
"Come on, lard ass, let's move it!" Junior said to Yuma as he returned to his van.
"I'll get you, faggot!" Yuma answered with a cackle.
The thugs hopped into their vehicles and sped off down the ruined street.
"The final showdown is coming!" Nora whooped excitedly, bouncing in her seat
Ren placed his hand on his partner's shoulder. "Easy, Nora."
Back at the steel mill, Glynda was asleep on a makeshift bed with a blanket draped over her.
Ironwood shifted slightly in his seat at how pretty Glynda looked sleeping.
"Is something wrong, sir?" Winter asked, taking notice of Ironwoods shifting.
"N-no. It's nothing," Ironwood replied quickly.
Robocop walked past her as a flickering campfire slightly illuminated the area.
From a nearby drum, Robocop picked up one of the jars of baby food Glynda brought him. Robocop glanced at Glynda, who shifted a bit as she dozed on.
Robocop drew his Auto-9, cocked it, then walked past Glynda off screen.
"Looks like he's gonna do a little target practice," Jaune pointed out.
Pyrrha nodded. "Always helpful."
After a brief pause, a burst of gunfire rang out.
Glynda woke up with a start and glared at Robocop. "What are you doing?"
"That's one way to wake up," Qrow chuckled.
Glynda frowned in annoyance. "He could have warned me first."
Robocop fired another burst. "My targeting system is a little messed up."
Robocop tried firing semi automatically, but missed the jars of baby food again.
"That's not good," Port remarked, shaking his head.
"If his targeting system is damaged, he won't be able to fight Roman effectively," Penny noted.
"Perhaps Glynda can help him out," Ozpin theorized, knowing Glynda's counterpart wouldn't let Robocop down.
Glynda stood up. "Can I help you?"
"Aim for me, Robocop requested.
Glynda stood behind Robocop and gently grabbed his gun arm. She levelled it slowly at the jars.
Robocops targeting grid appeared on his POV.
"Are you locked in now?" Glynda asked.
"Yes," Robocop replied.
"Reminds me of when you and dad were teaching Ruby how to shoot, uncle Qrow," Yang recalled with a giggle.
Qrow grinned. "Yeah. Before that, Ruby couldn't hit the broad side of a barn."
"Hey! I wasn't that bad!" Ruby said with a pout.
"A little more to the left."
Glynda slowly adjusted Robocops aim to the left, then stopped once his cross hairs centered on the baby food.
"Here," Glynda said.
Robocop fired three bursts of gunfire, shattering each jar.
"Good job, dad," Ruby said.
Penny smiled. "He's combat ready again."
"Good thing. Roman and his cronies will be showing up any minute," Neptune said.
"I figure that's dead-on," Glynda said.
"Thank you," Robocop replied.
On a narrow road outside, the Torchwick gangs vehicles approached.
Robocop and Glynda were alerted by the noise. Glynda ran over to a nearby railing overlooking the road and spotted the vehicles.
"There they are. Right on cue," Sun announced.
"It's high time those scumbags got what was coming to them," Coco said.
Roman pulled over his car and got out with Tuskon.
"All right. Let's do it," Roman instructed his crew.
"Come on, man, let's smoke him!" Junior hollered as he hopped out of the van wielding a CAC.
"The wrecking crew is here!" Yuma cackled, following Junior. "Where is that metallic mother?
"Zip it up, will you man?" Roman scolded Yuma. "Nothing fancy. Just kill him. Junior, in the van."
Roman lit a cigar as he, Yuma, and Tuskon marched down the road while Junior hopped back behind the wheel of his van and followed.
"How do you think this'll play out?" Ruby asked.
"I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but Robocop and Glynda are outnumbered and outgunned. And Robocop is still damaged," Ironwood observed.
"You do sound pessimistic," Qrow said flatly. "And they have the element of surprise this time."
Robocop reloaded his Auto-9. "You should get out of here now."
"Hey, we're partners," Glynda replied in refusal.
Robocop didn't argue with Glynda. "Get the car."
Glynda walked off while Robocop approached the railing.
"They're splitting up again?" Ironwood said.
"I wouldn't have made the same mistake twice," Glynda remarked disapprovingly towards her counterpart.
The Torchwick gang slowly walked down the road. Roman and Junior cast cautionary glances upwards. They turned a corner, oblivious to Robocop on a catwalk overlooking them from behind.
Robocop picked up a piece of scrap metal and tossed it behind the thugs as a distraction. They spun around a fired a few rounds at the sound while Robocop got into a good firing position.
"Damn it! Shit!" Roman swore in frustration.
"Looking for me?" Robocop hollered from above.
The thugs turned towards Robocop as he fired a few bursts from his Auto-9. Yuma was hit multiple times in the chest, killing him.
"Good night, sweet prince," Yang mocked Yuma, parroting his earlier taunting of Taiyang.
"One down, three to go," Ozpin noted.
The other thugs fired their CACs at Robocop, but the cyborg was already on the move as the explosive rounds missed him.
Robocop walked along a concrete walkway above the gangsters.
"Cut him off! Come on!" Roman ordered his thugs. "Go on, cut him off! Go, go!"
Tuskon quickly advanced while Junior drove along in his van. Roman ran back to his car.
Tuskon ascended a staircase connected to the walkway Robocop was walking along. He fired two explosive rounds, but missed as Robocop turned a corner. Tuskon growled in frustration as he pursued.
"Those guys can't aim for crap," Qrow said snidely.
"Their only criminals, not cops or soldiers," Winter noted.
"So Robocop has the upper hand this time," Port said.
Roman did a skidding three point turn as he sped back down the road he came from.
Junior performed a drifting turn onto another street and spotted Robocop up ahead. He floored it towards the cyborg.
"Okay! Now I got you!" Junior shouted.
Robocop fired a burst of gunfire at the vans windshield, forcing Junior to duck. At the last second, Robocop moved aside as the van narrowly missed him and plowed into a large, rusted tank labelled 'Toxic Waste'.
"Oh, that's not going to end well for him," Sun said as he noticed the tanks label.
As he walked away, Robocop shot a glance back at the van as the dark green chemicals spilled all over it. The rear doors swung open, disgorging a flood of the smoking, toxic chemicals along with Junior who tumbled out of his now destroyed van. The chemicals emanated noxious, white smoke that concealed Juniors body.
The smoke dissipated, revealing Junior as he struggled to his feet, gasping and moaning in utter agony from the acidic materials. His face and hands were partially dissolved and his burnt clothes were grafted to him.
The entire audience looked completely shocked and disgusted. A few even vomited into empty soda cups or popcorn containers.
"Oh my Oum! So gross!" Ruby gagged.
"That is a horrible way to die," Oobleck said, barely keeping his lunch down.
"He looks like he just came out of a pizza oven," Jaune croaked after he finished blowing chunks while Pyrrha rubbed his back.
Elsewhere, Roman sped down another road to intercept Robocop. Luckily, Glynda had taken her cruiser to aid Robocop in his fight. She surprised Roman from behind a corner up ahead.
"Shit!" Roman hissed as he spotted Glynda.
Roman's car fishtailed into Glynda's and drove off with the cop in hot pursuit.
"Get him, Ms. Goodwitch!" Ruby cheered on her professor.
"You're not escaping this time, Roman," Glynda growled, her eyes narrowing at the screen.
Meanwhile, Tuskon emerged from an alley. It came as a shock when the half-melted Junior showed up and grabbed him by the shoulders. Tuskon screamed in horror.
"Help me!" Junior gurgled.
"Don't touch me, man!" Tuskon shouted as he ran off.
"I can't blame him for freaking out," Blake said.
"Yeah. Can you imagine running into him in a dark alley?" Coco asked.
"I can't imagine running into him anywhere," Velvet said, shuddering at the mere thought of it.
"Help me!" Junior moaned again.
Junior continued to moan in agony while Tuskon fled in terror.
Glynda chased Roman down the dirt road. Roman shot a glance behind him just as Junior stumbled into the middle of the road.
Roman turned back just in time to spot Junior. "Ah, Shit!"
Roman's car plowed right into Junior, reducing the partially melted thug into a shower of blood and body parts that splattered all over the windshield.
Everyone winced or groaned in disgust at the scene.
"That's two down, two to go," Sun noted, still grimacing at Juniors gruesome death.
"I almost feel sorry for him," Jaune admitted.
"You shouldn't, Vomit Boy," Yang scolded.
"I said almost."
Roman lost control of his car as he hit an incline, sending the vehicle flying and landing on its roof into a shallow pond full of muddy water at the base of a concrete dam.
Glynda stopped her cruiser at the edge of the pond and hopped out. Unfortunately, Roman had survived the crash. He quickly got out of his wrecked vehicle and fired his pistol at Glynda, scoring a shoulder shot.
The audience gasped in shock or glowered at the screen.
"Glynda!" Ozpin and Oobleck cried out for their colleague.
"That criminal piece of trash!" Port growled with his fists clenched.
Glynda cried out in pain as she tumbled down a dirt hill into the pond.
"Bye-bye, baby," Roman snarled.
"Roman!" Robocop's voice rang out.
Roman turned and spotted Robocop advancing towards him, Auto-9 at the ready.
"Your going down now, Roman," Yang said, looking forward to Roman getting his comeuppance.
Up above, Tuskon had arrived atop the dam. Glynda sat up painfully as she spotted Roman's CAC lying nearby.
Roman shot a look to his right and saw Tuskon moving into position above them to take Robocop by surprise. Glynda began to drag herself towards the discarded CAC.
Spitting out some blood, Roman dropped his weapon, grinned, and raised his hands in feigned surrender.
"Okay. I give up," Roman said.
Robocop didn't lower his gun. "I'm not arresting you anymore."
"Damn straight! Kill that slimy bastard!" Qrow shouted.
"For better or worse, he's beginning to overcome his prime directives," Ironwood noted, not approving of vigilantism but also acknowledging that Roman was simply too dangerous to be kept alive.
"It's certainly for the better in this case," Ozpin remarked.
Roman's smile wavered. "Now, wait a second."
Atop the dam, Tuskon had snuck into a crane house and commandeered the controls. The crane was carrying large rusty girders and scrap metal.
Down below, Robocop continued marching towards Roman. His gun was pointed at the thug's head.
Roman's smile had now vanished. "Wait a minute. You're taking this kind of personal, aren't you?"
Ruby's eyes widened in fear. "He's baiting him into a trap!"
"Look out, dad! Above you!" Yang warned loudly.
"He can't hear you, kiddo," Qrow said, although he was also worried for Taiyang.
Roman began to back away. "Come on, man. Come on, now. You're making me nervous."
Above the two of them, Tuskon began to position the crane's load directly above the oblivious Robocop as Roman lured him under the girders.
Roman backed into the wreckage of his car. "Come on, you can't do this. Come on now! Don't mess around!"
Glynda had nearly reached the CAC by this point as Roman babbled.
"Come on. Hurry!" Glynda urged her counterpart. "Don't let him down again!"
"It's now or never," Neptune muttered on the edge of his seat, nervously eating some popcorn.
"Hey! Hey! Come on, man, now, don't get cute!" Roman shouted.
Tuskon grinned as he pulled one last lever, releasing the girders. Robocop looked up just in time as the heavy metal fell on top of him.
"No!" Ruby cried, her hands on both sides of her head.
Yang and Qrow both went rigid, inwardly praying Robocop was still alive.
"Die, you bastard!" Tuskon shouted in the crane control room.
"Yeah! Yeah! All right!" Roman whooped triumphantly.
Goodwitch had finally reached the CAC and struggled to take aim at Tuskon up above.
Tuskon poked out of the crane house window. "I got him, Roman! I got him!"
Glynda pulled the trigger and blew Tuskon and the crane house to pieces in a shower of explosive flames.
"And I got you," Glynda said with a triumphant smirk.
"But...what about Robocop?" Velvet said in a low worried voice.
Roman looked back at Glynda in shock at the death of his last subordinate before focusing back on Robocop. The cyborg was still alive but trapped beneath the debris.
Roman furiously picked up a rail bar with a sharp end, ran over to the pinned Robocop and began battering his right arm with it. Then, he impaled the cyborg through his chest with the sharp end. Robocop cried out in pain.
Ruby gasped sharply as she slapped her hands against her mouth.
"You are not hurting our father again!" Yang growled, her lilac eyes shifting to red.
"Come on, Robocop! You can't let him win!" Nora urged, her eyes glued to the screen.
Roman leaned in close. "So long, Robocop!"
Thinking fast, Robocop drew his data spike and stabbed Roman in the neck. Crimson spattered Robocops breastplate as Roman gagged and clutched his neck. Roman rasped and clutched his mortal, blood spurting, wound before finally crumpling into the rusty water.
Nobody was sad to see Roman go, but still cringed at his gruesome, bloody, wound. Yang, Ruby, and Qrow on the other hand were glad that Taiyang got his revenge on the ruthless thug.
"Suck on that, you dirtbag!" Yang shouted at the screen.
Qrow smiled and raised his flask to Taiyangs victory.
"He really was a pain the... neck," Ruby said awkwardly to avoid saying 'ass'.
There was a long, awkward silence throughout the theater as everyone fixed their gazes on Ruby. The red reaper shifted her eyes uncomfortably from side to side.
"Why is everyone staring at me? Ruby asked before her eyes widened in realization that she inadvertently made a pun.
An ecstatic grin stretched across Yang's face as she wrapped Ruby in a bear hug, singing her little sister praise. Weiss and Blake facepalmed in vexation.
With Roman dead, Robocop removed the rail spike embedded in his chest.
"Goodwitch! Goodwitch!" Robocop called out to his partner.
Glynda lay nearby, wounded and exhausted.
"They did it. Thank Monty," Ruby said with relief as Yang released her.
"The worst is over. All that's left now is Watts," Ozpin added.
"Let's hope Robocop has a way to circumvent 'Directive 4," Penny said.
"Xiao Long, I'm a mess!" Glynda gasped.
"They'll fix you. They fix everything."
Robocop then grunted as he pushed the heavy metal girders off of him.
Later that day, Robocop sped towards OCP headquarters in his damaged cruiser.
Up in the OCP boardroom, Watts was giving a lecture to the other executives as he walked around the table.
"The police strike could really work for us. By the end of the week, we can have ED-209s in place all over the city and expect immediate public support. I've got one downstairs guarding the building now."
Ozpin gave Watts a reluctant nod. A look of disapproval on his face.
Ozpin's expression matched his counterpart. "He knows ED-209 will only worsen the situation in Vale."
"Robocop couldn't have picked a better time to put a stop to Watts plans," Ironwood remarked.
Outside, Robocop pulled up in his police car. Hiding under a support pillar was ED-209. The alerted droid swiveled towards Robocop.
"Robocop vs ED-209, round two. Ding!" Nora mimicked a boxing match referee.
"Can he take him, though? I'm not sure if Robocops pistol will be sufficient," Ren wondered.
Penny grinned. "I have an idea of how Robocop will handle this."
"You're illegally parked on private property," ED-209 said.
ED-209 extended it's legs as it lumbered towards Robocop.
"You have 20 seconds to move your vehicle," ED-209 warned.
"It's programmed to use lethal force on traffic infractions?!" Ozpin shouted in outrage, realizing Watts would use ED-209 to enforce a tyrannical rule over Vale.
Qrow sputtered. "But that's crazy! Everybody commits traffic infractions once in a while."
Blake shot a glance at Yang. "Some more than others."
Yang just huffed and took a sip of her soda, although she didn't deny how reckless she was while driving bumblebee.
Unfazed, Robocop climbed out of his cruiser as ED-209 approached. He reached into the car and pulled out a CAC.
"Ha! He was prepared for this," Yang hollered.
"Blow him to bits!" Nora added loudly.
ED-209 stopped in it's tracks and prepared to fire it's autocannon, but Robocop was faster. He fired the heavy gun, scoring a direct hit that disabled ED-209. A second shot blew its head to pieces in a burst of flame.
"Sensational!" Penny cheered.
"Take that you piece of junk!" Neptune shouted at the screen.
"Now all that's left is Watts," Velvet said, anxious to witness the finale.
Robocop smiled in triumph and continued. Behind him, ED-209's disembodied legs waddled around a bit before finally collapsing.
Back in the OCP boardroom, Watts continued his lecture as he circled around the table.
"Because whatever happens, this corporation will live up to the guiding principles of its founder. Courage, strength, conviction."
The other executives gave Watts a round of applause.
Qrow shook his head scornfully. "They're just eating this whole thing up."
"Don't forget, everyone is afraid of Watts. And Merlot was recently killed," Ren reminded grimly.
"Some may even suspect he played a part in it but they're too afraid to speak up. Lest they be next," Weiss guessed, knowing her father ran the SDC through fear as well.
"We will meet each new challenge with the same aggressive attitude."
As if on cue, Robocop entered the boardroom through the double doors right behind Watts.
Ironwood smirked in anticipation. "We'll just see about that, Watts."
"But directive 4 is still hardwired into his system," Penny reminded worriedly.
"He'll figure something out," Ruby assured her robotic friend.
Watts spun around, eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Robocop. He nervously moved towards Ozpin as Robocop stepped into the room.
"How can we help you, Officer?" Ozpin asked calmly.
"Arthur Watts is wanted for murder," Robocop replied.
Via Robovision, Directive 4 could be seen flashing as Robocop focused on Watts.
"This is absurd! That thing is a violent mechanical psychopath!" Watts shouted indignantly, pointing at Robocop.
Blake scoffed. "Look who's calling who a psychopath."
"My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company," Robocop explained.
"These are serious charges," Ozpin stated. "What is your evidence?"
Robocop turned towards the electronic system, including a myriad of television screens, built into the wall. He drew his bloodied data spike and inserted it into the port.
A recording of Arthur Watts from the night before appeared on every monitor built into the wall.
"I had to kill Albert Merlot because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake."
Ozpin looked at Watts, the latter backing away in panic. Pietro Polendina glared hatefully at Watts for killing his friend.
"There's all the evidence they need," Ozpin said with a smile.
"Watts is busted~" Nora said in a sing-song voice.
"Something tells me he won't go quietly," Jaune said nervously.
"I had to kill Albert Merlot because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake."
Arthur continued backing away until he reached a box sitting on a nearby table. He swiftly opened it, pulled out a gun, and cocked it.
The other executives gasped in shock as Watts ran back to Ozpin and pulled him to his feet.
"Headmaster!" Glynda shouted in concern.
Port shook his head with a scowl. "He just won't quit, this guy."
"Get up! I want a chopper. Now!" Watts demanded as he put the gun to Ozpin's head.
Robocop watched as Watts edged towards a window with Ozpin at gunpoint.
"We will walk to the roof very calmly. I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me, the old geezer gets it," Watts said menacingly.
"And where's he even going to go? He'll still be a wanted fugitive," Weiss pointed out the obvious flaw in Watt's plan.
"He's probably not thinking clearly due to panic," Penny observed.
"Perhaps he'll keep Ozpin as a bargaining chip to cut a deal with the authorities," Oobleck theorized.
After a few tense moments, Ozpin and Robocop locked eyes in understanding.
"Arthur, you're fired!" Ozpin declared loudly.
With a brief flash of static, 'Directive 4' disappeared.
"Thank you," Robocop said.
Ozpin elbowed Watts in the gut, forcing the latter to release the former with a grunt of pain.
"Clever exploitation of a loophole. Without 'Directive 4' Watts is no longer protected," Penny complimented.
"And Ozpin took full advantage of it," Glynda added, admiring the headmasters quick thinking.
Ozpin dove out of the way as Robocop fired a series of bursts into Watts chest. The other executives cried out in shock while Polendina stood up and smiled as he watched.
Watts staggered backwards into a window, breaking it, and sending him screaming and falling to his death almost a hundred stories below.
"That's the second villain we've seen dying from falling from a building," Oobleck recalled Adams death in 'Die Hard'.
"Maybe it'll become a recurring theme," Blake guessed.
Still smiling, Polendina shot Robocop a thumbs up for avenging his friend. Robocop did his signature gun twirl and holstered the Auto-9. He turned and departed.
Ozpin fixed his tie. "Nice shooting, son. What's your name?"
Robocop stopped to answer Ozpin with a warm smile. "Taiyang Xiao Long."
Everyone, especially Ruby and Yang, whooped and cheered at Taiyangs resurrection. A few even followed suit from Polendina and shot the screen a thumbs up.
"Yeah! Dad is back for good!" Ruby chirped.
"I knew he'd come back!" Yang added, raising her fists.
"It's good to have him back," Glynda remarked with a warm smile.
"Well done, Tai," Qrow commended his brother in law.
Ozpin smiled and raised his mug to Taiyang's return.
The bold white word 'Robocop' appeared against a black background as the credits began to roll.
The audience clapped as the overhead lights shined on and Gold-Sith reappeared onscreen.
"I trust you all enjoyed this viewing. Also, I apologize for earlier Ms. Rose and Ms. Xiao Long. I did not mean to upset you with your fathers death."
Yang paused before answering. "I accept your apology. But only because my dad got payback."
"Yeah. That was intense. But watching Roman's number come up was very satisfying," Ruby concurred with a nod.
"That was one of the best sci-fi flicks I've ever seen," Neptune praised with a smile.
"It was great. But if I could make a request, could we perhaps watch a different genre next time?" Velvet asked.
"I'm with Velvet. Maybe we could try a comedy," Coco added to her partners input.
Gold-Sith smiled in anticipation. "Of course. I have multiverse viewings of all types. If everyone is in agreement, we'll watch a comedy next time."
"Fine by me," Pyrrha said.
"It'd be a nice change of pace," Weiss agreed.
"I'm always up for a laugh fest," Nora said with a grin.
"Very well. The next viewing will be a comedy. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it tremendously. It'll be ready right before the finals begin. Until then, good night, everyone."
With that, the audience rose from their seats and left the theater.
Author's Note: I hope you all enjoyed this adaptation. Now that Robocop is finished, I'll begin working on the next adaptation which will be a comedy film. I should have it ready by Halloween. No promises, though. I'll be busy with other matters. Until then, stay tuned my loyal readers.
Starting in November, I'll also be updating slightly to previous chapters to fix any grammatical errors. I'll also add a few extra lines or words here and there in any lackluster parts I may have rushed to publish due to my busy schedule.
