Encounter a Dusty Old Crow and Swindler Man
Jaune and Hibiki along with some of the girls are exploring inside an abandoned space colony station out in the middle of nowhere and team were sent to check the place to see if they can find anything useful inside like maybe some tools or such.
"Hey, did you find anything? If you see any nice clothes, they're mine, of course." Jura said through their communication.
"Is looking all you can think about?" Hibiki asked, annoy of this.
"Focus on finding something that can actually help with the Nirvana." Cinder scolded.
"Hey! I do focus!" Jura offended of that.
Meanwhile, Magno along with BC and Glynda watching the space colony from the bridge of the Nirvana.
"Never have I thought about seeing a mission colony with my own eyes." Glynda amazed.
"Same goes for me, I have never seen one before joining this crew." BC admitted.
"It prospers during the Terra forming days, using it as a relay base." Mango explained.
"But now it has been abandoned, just floating there while collecting dust on the inside." Glynda exclaimed, sad to see something like this has been long forgotten.
"The place looks like it's been here for a long time, but I think there are still some things that can still be useful to us." Jaune believed to the captain.
"You might be right, just find what you can and bring them back to the ship." Mango ordered.
"Copy that." Jaune nodded before hanging up.
(Within the Abandoned Space Colony)
In one area of the colony, Barnett is walking through the area with Jura, Sun, Blake, and Yang as they look around of the place.
"Bet there used to tons of people having fun here." Sun said.
"Might be consider this place used to hold a small civilization until they left." Blake pointed out.
"Well, now whatever is here now is ours now." Yang said looking a little relax.
"Yeah, some of these might be very useful to us. I wonder if there are any food in here." Barnett said.
"Would they even be edible to eat though?" Jura asked since this station was abandoned for a long time.
In another area of the Mission Colony, Cinder and Pyrrha are looking around what appears to be an area where the people lived such as a bedroom department or something that of a living quarter.
"Well, don't think we'll need some smelly old mattresses." Cinder exclaimed.
"It must have been nice living here, most never have to worry about the danger and all." Pyrrha commented.
"Until something went wrong and power to this station went out, forcing the people to leave this place." Cinder figured out that much.
"Hey guys, look what me and Ren found!" Nora called out as she runs toward them.
"What did you find?" Pyrrha asked.
"Check this out!" Nora showed them the device in her hand.
"That looks like a taser." Cinder guessed.
"It is and it still got some charges in it too." Nora giggled exciting as she shows the electric spark.
"Nora, be careful not to swing that around." Ren said as he carries a small box in his arms.
"What's in here?" Pyrrha asked as she opens the box.
"Some wires, spark plugs, and some kitchen knives too." Ren answered.
"We can leave the kitchen knives to the cooks back on the ship, the wires and spark plugs can do with the engineer team." Cinder stated.
"You know, I've been wondering if I can upgrade my hammer to become electrical and zapping anyone within contact." Nora smiled dangerously exciting which worry the others around her.
In another area of the station which seems to be a power area of some kind, there are Jaune with Hibiki, Dita, Ruby, Meia, and Pyoro.
"Wow, this place is so amazing even though it's been shut down!" Ruby amazed of all the tech surrounding them.
"I'm more surprised that the captain knows something about this space station." Dita said.
"This place isn't really a space station; it's officially called a Mission." Pyoro corrected.
"Makes me wonder what else does the captain know about other things." Jaune said being curious.
"Enough chatter, we have a lot of work to get done here." Meia reminded them.
"You call this work? All you're doing is looting the place." Pyoro pointed out.
"Well, we are a space pirate crew but it's more like salvaging for spare parts and other things we need for the ship and the crew, it's not like we're actually attacking other people." Jaune stated.
"I think you should make your orders more clearer." Pyoro said.
"Who asked you?" Hibiki asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, you're so picky." Dita said with a scolding look.
"Easy, not just get this looting done and... Huh?" Ruby stopped her sentence she thought she saw something above them.
"Did anybody see that?" Ruby asked.
"See what, Ruby?" Jaune asked.
"I thought I saw something move from up there." Ruby pointed to where she saw the thing.
"You sure you weren't imagining it?" Dita asked.
"Actually, I noticed a little noise from above too, like it's moving really fast." Hibiki informed.
"Do you think it could be the evil alien robots?" Dita worried.
"I'm not sure what it was, but I'm going to find out for myself." Hibiki said before running off to where this mysterious being went.
"Hold on, you shouldn't go off on your own!" Jaune tried to stop his best friend/partner, but he already left.
"Ruby, Pyoro, you two go after Hibiki and make sure nothing bad happens, but if it turns out to be an enemy then you can use force." Jaune ordered.
"Got it!" Ruby nodded and ran after Hibiki with Pyoro behind them.
"We'll catch up as soon as we're done here." Jaune shouted.
(With Hibiki)
Hibiki ran as fast as he could to catch up whatever the thing was that Ruby saw back there while the latter and Pyoro are catching up to him.
"Where'd it go?" Hibiki wondered as he looks around.
"Hey, Hibiki! Wait up!" Ruby called out.
Then suddenly the mysterious thing they were chasing landed right in front of the revealing to be small and furry as well?
"What… What the heck is this thing?" Hibiki asked surprise.
"I think it's some kind of animal." Ruby guessed.
"Okay, then do you know what animal it is?" Hibiki asked the red-hooded girl.
"No idea." Ruby shrugged.
Then suddenly the strange animal thing launched at them making Hibiki and Ruby to dock down, they heard Pyoro screaming ands turn around the see the strange animal has grabbed onto little robot and start licking it.
"Help me, Hibiki! Hurry!" Pyoro begged as he struggles in vain to escape the creature.
"It must have thing Pyoro is like a giant egg or something." Ruby said.
"Nah, that is just Butan's way of saying growing interest to certain things Though she should knock it off now." A man's voice said.
Hibiki and Ruby jump in surprise as they turn around seeing a figure standing before them, and they quickly recognize that this figure is a man.
This man has brown hair with one long and sharp bang hanging on the right side of his face and a ponytail, and a red goggle lenes on his right eye. He also a two green rectangle mark on his left cheek and has a red bead tied around his head. His clothing appears to be old tradition looking with orange, brown, and yellow color scheme with some designs on them though wears a dark blue pants and brown shoes.
"Whoa, is that a man?" Ruby asked surprise.
"Yeah, I think he is." Hibiki surprised too.
"Cool! Hi, my name is Ruby, and I hope we can be friends!" Ruby extended her hand to the new man.
The man glares at Ruby before taking out his gun aiming it right at her point-blank which scares her a bit.
"What are you doing?" Hibiki asked going in to help Ruby.
Suddenly a sword popped out of the bush blocking Hibiki's way much to his confusion.
"A sword? Wait, there's another man here!" Hibiki realized as he reaches for his sword.
"Sheesh, could you keep your voices down. I'm trying to recover from a serious hangover here." A second man complained as he stands up revealing to be behind the bush.
"Well, that's what you get for drinking too much last night, Qrow." The other man chuckled.
This new man now named Qrow has graying black, spiky hair, faded red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. He has a red torn cape and a black wristband on his right wrist. His clothing is a dark gray collar shirt with a black vest that has cross-shaped buttons, and a white v-neck shirt underneath, dark gray dress pants and black dress shoes. His old rings are replaced with black ones worn in the same place as his previous rings were. The floral pattern on his sleeves resembles a bird.
"Hey, you were the one who wanted to challenge me to a drinking contest, and you also lost to me in that one, Rabat." Qrow pointed out.
"Whatever, let just see what we got here." Rabat shrugged, then his eyes narrow as he quickly got behind Ruby holding her by the arm.
Meia is shown to have arrive pointing her laser ring at Rabat while trying to be careful with Ruby suddenly being taken as a hostage, Qrow did the same holding Hibiki in place with one arm around his neck and holding his sword up in a defense stance as Jaune is pointing his sword at him.
"Oh, Hey Qrow, this one over here is a woman." Rabat informed.
"Really, is she a cutie?" Qrow asked with a grin.
"I think you guys should be more worried about yourselves." Jaune stated.
"Relax, kid. We make is our rule to never kill women." Rabat assured.
"But that doesn't mean we can let them beat us up to a blood pulp, we got to defend ourselves in order to survive, you know?" Qrow stated.
"Funny about survival, you have always made sure to bring along some friends." Sun jumped into the scene with his nun-chucks out and everyone came aiming their weapons at the two men.
"What is this one doing here? Is he a man?" Jura asked, finding those two not very good-looking ones.
"Sure, looks like it." Barnett said as she took Rabat's gun and Ren got Qrow's sword.
"Hibiki, something tells me they're not from Taraak." Jaune said getting a weird feeling from those men.
"Yeah, I was thinking about that next." Hikibi pulled out his sword.
"You're all an interesting bunch, part of a bandit tribe or something?" Qrow asked.
"We prefer to call ourselves pirates, thank you." Cinder mentioned.
"Oh, even that lady over there?" Rabat asked about Hibiki, mistaken him for a female.
"Hey, I'm a guy! Buster!" Hibiki angered causing Rabat to laugh.
"You seriously didn't notice that the kid is a guy?" Qrow asked his partner.
"Sorry, sorry, but the way he dresses up and the way he looks would make him such a cute little thing." Rabat whipped away a laughing tear.
"Alright, wise guy, why don't you two tell us what you're doing here and IF we happen to like the answer then maybe we'll let you go." Hibiki threatened putting the tip of his sword on Rabat's chest.
"Or you guys can let us help your friend from being licked by Butan." Qrow pointed at what is going on right now.
Everyone turns around seeing Butan has grabbed Dita by the leg and is licking her skin for some strange reason.
"Ew! Stop it, please! Someone help me, this is gross!" Dita begged.
"Hey, get your whatever creature are hands off of her!" Hibiki yelled, angry at the creature.
"He's an orangutan, subspecies for monkey and Butan is usually on her best behavior. Most of the time." Qrow explained.
"Yeah, that's the strangest "best behavior" I've ever seen." Nora commented.
"And she won't let go because she only listens to either of us though mostly me." Rabat mentioned.
"Well then, get that monkey thing off Dita now!" Hibiki demanded.
"Alright, alright. Sheesh, you people act like you've never seen a real-life monkey before in your life." Rabat sighed as he walks up to Butan.
"That's enough out of you, Butan." Rabat grabbed Butan by the back of her shirt lifting her up.
"Dita, are you okay?" Ruby asked her best friend.
"I am not a lollipop, I'm not!" Dita cried hugging Ruby.
"Come on, Butan, two of your partners were in trouble over there and here you are being useless." Rabat scolded Butan who nodded on apologizes.
"Well, Butan has always been the kind of monkey who likes to get to know something up close and personally." Qrow chuckled.
"That's true." Rabat said as he grabs Pyoro out of Butan's hands and then throws the little robot right at Meia.
Meia didn't have time to react as Pyoro crash onto her and Barnett was about to aim at the man though Butan prevented that by launching onto her and jump off while taking her gun away, this gave Qrow the chance to go get his sword back though dodge a sword swing attack from Jura. Jura charge in with a sword thrust attack and Qrow counters it by grabbing her arm and shoulder flip her towards Ren who quickly grabs her, that left an opening for Qrow to snatch his sword away and kick the two down.
Cinder and Nora charges in attacking him from both sides though the older man dodge Nora first then clash swords with Cinder blocking her attacks. Nora got back up to attack Qrow again, but suddenly the shoelaces from her right shoe somehow came undone and Nora steps on the lace causing her to trip. Qrow twirls his sword around and jumps back from Cinder as she is about to chase him until Nora crashes into her.
Qrow grin and quickly turns around to block an attack from Jaune.
"Well, aren't you an interesting one." Qrow said.
Get your butt back here!" Hibki yelled at Rabat.
Rabat jumps back from a swing attack from Hibiki and dodge some nun-chunk swinging from Sun as the monkey boy jumps over his head, Sun attack the red-lenes eyepatch guy fast though Rabat was able to dodge him and push him a little forward making Sun hit Hibiki on the face.
"Whoa, sorry man!" Sun gasped.
Before the fight continues, a loud alarming sound went off confusing everyone.
"What's happening?" Jaune asked the bridge.
"The enemy robots have appeared around the station. All hands must prepare for combat now!" Glynda answered.
"We got to go now!" Jaune shouted and everyone made their way to the port to get back into their ships as the station is suddenly on lockdown now.
They managed to get inside their Dreads and Vanguard to fly off and fight the enemies.
"There appears to be a lot of them around here, almost like they were waiting." Ren noticed.
"Less talking, more destroying!" Nora screamed as she starts blasting away the enemy robots.
Meanwhile, Qrow, Rabat, and Butan made their way back onto their own ship though they appear to have an extra package aboard.
"Huh, Butan… Isn't that the robot from those guys?" Qrow asked as Butan hugs the frighten Pyoro.
"Great, just great." Rabat sighed.
Back at the fight, everyone is fighting off the enemy robots.
"Ruby, let's you and I combined. Hibiki, you do the same with Meia." Jaune ordered.
"Aw, but I want to combine with Mr. Alien." Dita complained.
"Another time, Dita." Meia said.
Hibiki and Meia combined their machine into the White Speed-Flyer as Ruby and Jaune combined into the Red Reaper, they started attacking the enemy robots unleashing their special attacks like the White Speed-Flyer flying superfast ramming through some of the enemies. The Red Reaper reel in the scythe as it glows red and then unleash a powerful energy slash attack that destroyed the rest of them.
"Whoa, did you all see that?" Qrow asked as he, Rabat, and Butan are shocked of what they just saw.
"I did and I think we just hit the jackpot." Rabat grinned.
