Reviews & Comments:

Austin: I definitely intend to do Treasure Planet, believe me on that. Though I personally think Yang could fill in Jim's roll as well. I may put it to a vote. I probably will have Roman as Long John Silver as well, since they do share some characteristics.

For Kindergarten cop, I haven't seen it, so I don't know if I'll show it or not. It will all depend if I have room for it in my schedule because I have a good amount already planned for this story. At least up to 50 chapters of planning.

For the Monsterverse, I plan on doing Legendary's universe since the only other Godzilla related thing I've seen outside of Legendary is the American Godzilla movie from the 90s, along with the tv show. I wouldn't even know where to begin with the old Monsterverse.

Snowballs FF: I have heard and seen some stuff regarding Penguinz0, mainly from Wildcat's Wildcast and Nux Taku. I don't know if I'll show anything regarding him, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Guest: If I find the right Scooby Doo movie, I could have Zwei as Scooby.

Amy American Dog: Lady and the Tramp is a good suggestion, but we'll have to see. For the Wallace and Gromit suggestion, I would have to find a site to watch it for free. I have seen the movie before, but I would need to see it again to see if I should use it.

Icky Elephant: I do like the Ice Age movies, but I don't know if I'll show it. I might, but we'll just have to see. Though note that I would keep the animals as themselves while probably having the baby as Adrian.

Guest: Never heard of or seen War Dogs.

Guest: I would probably do Rodger Rabbit over most of your suggestions since that movie is more wacky and creative, as well as that it would give a more different experience.

Guest: I might do Aladdin, but I don't know about the casting. I mean, Emerald IS based on Aladdin, and Jinn is based off of Genie.

Animan10: I don't know enough about Xenoblade Chronicles, and to be frank, I'm not trying to show a lot of anime in this react fic. There are a lot of good anime out there, but I'm mainly trying to focus on stuff people haven't done for their fics. Examples: The Dark Crystal and Candyman.

Shadowwriter329: I agree with you on that. It's why I didn't have this as a Jaune-based fic. I look forward to what you think of later chapters.

Freddie46: I could probably do Grown Ups.

Volcasiron30: Sorry, as of current, I'm not in the business of using other Fanfictions as material. I have seen someone show the Nora is a mommy fanfic, but I don't plan on doing anything like that anytime soon.

Sjsisusj56: I don't do certain scenes for one chapter. If I use anything from the Snyder Cut, I will be doing the entire movie, not just one fight scene.

Guest226: I don't really know much about Metro.

Mad Library Scientist: I don't know about Bioshock. Zombieland is a definite maybe though. As for ships, I don't think that I'll make anything official. I'll give out a few teases to certain ships here and there, but I don't want ships to become a bit thing in my story. Ships become too much of a focus in RWBY, and it detracted from writing.

Lilytakeovermage: I have seen a bit of Fariy Tale, but I don't know. I'll have to think on it.

Guest: I don't have the Mandalorian on the list since it's already a given.

Ethan yamil: If I do SCP, it will probably be from a Markiplier video. Anything other than that I will save for the multiverse museum/library I have in store for whenever I do intermission chapters.

RedBanzai: I do want to do the 2009 Ghostbusters: The Video Game for this story, but I'd have to figure out how I'd do it. Would I just use the cutscenes, or include the full gameplay? It will take some thought.

Now, if there are any people I may have missed on writing back to, I do apologize. I try to comment back to everyone as much as I can, but I can't do everyone.

So with that out of the way, let the chapter commence.


Transformers: BumbleBee

Part 1

Everyone in the audience was awaiting for the second universe to show up on screen. However, just as the screen was about to turn on, it was immediately halted in its process by Vortech.

"Uh… what are we waiting for?" Yang asked with a raised brow in confusion.

"Hold on… I think I'm forgetting something." Vortech said as he tapped the chin of his helmet in thought.

"What could you be forgetting?" Ruby asked Vortech.

"Something that I was told was important, but I find quite meager by comparison…" Vortech trailed off before his completely blue eyes widened. "Ah! Now I remember!"

Vortech then proceeded to tap his staff against the floor below his throne three times.

"What's that going to do?" Nora asked in regards to Vortech's actions.

"Just wait for it." Vortech said as he looked to the ceiling expectantly.

Everyone followed Vortech's gaze towards the ceiling before, suddenly, a large blue vortex opened up above them. One similar to the vortexes that brought them to Foundation Prime.

Not a moment later, the sound of three masculine voices screaming echoed from the vortex, getting louder with each passing second as the screaming came closer to the audience.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!"

Soon enough, three figures fell through the portal, and onto some of the chairs in the theater

"Ow…" groaned a man with a raspy tone of voice.

"What the heck just happened?" A man with a more normal sounding voice asked.

"Nngh…" groaned a man with a more stern sounding voice.

Soon enough the three men situated themselves off of the chairs, soon standing themselves up, revealing the three men, respectively, as Qrow Branwen, Taiyang Xiao Long, and Atlesian general, James Ironwood.

"Dad?" Yang asked in confusion.

While Ruby was wondering what her father was doing here as well, her eyes locked on towards that of a different figure. "Uncle Qrow!"

"Huh? What?" Qrow asked as blinked his eyes a bit, only to soon widen them upon seeing Ruby leap across the seats and towards him.

Ruby lept at Qrow, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. However, the force and weight of Ruby leaping at Qrow, causing Qrow to fall backwards a bit as he tried to balance himself by putting his arms back against a chair he was in front of.

"Woah! Careful, pipsqueak, my back still hurts from landing on a chair." Qrow said as Ruby still clung to him with a hug.

"Ruby? Yang?" Tai asked in confusion and surprise. "What are you doing here? Better yet, where is here? And why are me and Qrow here too? And what the heck was that portal?"

"You're not the only one dragged through a portal, Taiyang." Ironwood spoke to Tai, getting his and Qrow's attention.

"Ironwood?" Tai asked with a raised brow.

"I see you were brought here as well, James." Ozpin greeted Ironwood as he stood up from his seat.

"Wha-Ozpin?" Ironwood asked in surprise as he looked towards the teachers, spotting Ozpin, Port, and Oobleck. Though the General straightened himself a bit more when he spotted Glynda. "You're here as well, Glynda?"

"Yes, hello to you too, James." Glynda said with a small sigh.

"Oh, great. More goody-two-shoes." Roman said aloud with an eye roll.

The voice of Roman caused Ironwood to quickly turn around, widening his eyes at the criminal. "Torchwick?!"

Ironwood naturally went to reach for his gun, only to blink and surprise when he found that his gun wasn't in its holster.

"What the?" Ironwood asked in confusion.

Vortech decided to clear his throat loud enough for everyone to hear as he arose from his throne. "Gentlemen, gentlemen! So many questions—all at once, I might add. Perhaps I can be of assistance in answering them for you."

Ironwood, Qrow, and Tai, the latter of which had moved next to Qrow, all turned around to look at Vortech in a mix of surprise and confusion.

Qrow had looked at Vortech with a look of confusion as he used one arm to get Ruby off of his chest, the leader of team RWBY now hanging from her uncle's arm. With Ruby happily hanging from his arm, Qrow spoke what he was thinking of. "...Did I have too much to drink?"

After a few moments, Qrow, Taiyang, and Ironwood were informed of everything by Vortech. From not only viewing alternate dimensions, but viewing different versions of themselves, and other people from Remnant.

"So… what you're saying is that we're going to see each other in different roles." Tai surmised from Vortech's explanation. "Almost like watching a movie."

"If you want to dumb it down that much, than yes." Vortech said towards Taiyang's simplification of his explanation.

"It may seem a bit preposterous, but it's all true." Ozpin stated to the three new arrivals. "We had actually just gotten done viewing a universe that focused on one of my students. Lie Ren of Team JNPR."

Ozpin had motioned to the ninja boy, prompting Qrow, Tai, and Ironwood to look in his direction. Ren merely responded by giving a small bow to the three new-comers.

Qrow looked away from, Ren, and towards Tai—Ruby having already walked back towards her seat in between Yang and Weiss. "I think I'd like to retract my earlier statement. I'm not nearly drunk enough for this."

"Hmph. You and me both." Roman muttered in agreement to Qrow.

"Now, hold on a minute." Ironwood said with a halting motion of his hands as he looked between Ozpin and Vortech. "Regardless of this all being true, we're all just supposed to sit back and stay here for the time being? We have the Vytal festival to plan for."

Ironwood then looked back towards Roman, pointing towards him with a small scowl. "Not to mention, we have to deal with the chaos being caused by Torchwick and the White Fang. Why is he even here?"

"General James Ironwood." Vortech proclaimed in a grandiose fashion with a small chuckle. "Self-proclaimed protector of the people, and certified over-precautionist. Is there nothing you won't question?"

"You've essentially kidnapped several members of Beacon's staff, along with its Headmaster and two of its teams." Ironwood stated towards Vortech. "Disregarding Torchwick and his accomplice, you've now also taken two huntsmen and the General of the Atlas military. You expect me not to question anything about this?"

Vortech couldn't help but chuckle a bit at Ironwood's direction. "You honestly think I would bring important and well-known figures from Remnant to Foundation Prime without coming up with a plan to make sure their disappearances go unnoticed? Trust me when I say I have it covered. Not to mention that time works differently here. By the time I return you all back to Remnant, it will seem as if much has even transpired in your absences."

Ironwood was getting ready to retort to Vortech, but a hand on his shoulder from Glynda—who had walked over to Ironwood—had prevented him from doing so.

"You can try and argue with the interdimensional being all you want, James. It's just going to get us nowhere." Glynda told Ironwood. "Now, I agree with your points on this matter, but the sooner we go along with this, the sooner we can all go home."

Ironwood pondered Glynda's words for a moment before relenting with a sigh. "I don't like this… but I suppose if no one else is showing their concerns over it…"

"Hey, look. I'm not exactly okay with this any more than you do, but seeing as how this is where my daughters are, I'll be fine with it so long as nothing bad happens to them." Tai said with crossed arms.

"My answer's the same as Tai's." Qrow said with a shrug. "Besides… I could use a little relaxation."

"Excellent!" Vortech stated aloud. "Now, with all of this out of the way, please find your seats so we can get this viewing up and running."

With some begrudgement, Ironwood followed Glynda towards where the teachers all sat. Qrow and Tai were second to follow the two to the same section of seats.

As the majority of the audience went back to sitting down, Blake decided to speak to Yang and Ruby.

"So, that's your dad and uncle?" Blake asked the two sisters.

"Yeah, that's them." Yang affirmed to Blake. "Some of the best family a person could ask for."

"I have to say, I wasn't expecting your father to have a very similar resemblance to you, Yang." Weiss said to the blonde brawler. "Not to mention that Ruby doesn't appear to have any similarities with your father."

"I've been told I look a lot more like my mom." Ruby told Weiss. "Though I do share a small resemblance to Uncle Qrow."

"There's the second thing I wanted to get to." Weiss stated as she gave Ruby's uncle a raised brow. "He seems a little more, what's a proper word for this… bleak compared to yourself and Yang."

"Uncle Qrow may look a little rough around the edges, but he's a fun guy to hang around with." Yang said with a smile. "You know… once you get past the fact that he's drunk half the time."

"How charming." Weiss stated dully, though getting a small image of her mother in the back of her mind before removing the thought all together.

With everyone fully settled in, Vortech started up the next universe.


The viewing came to life in darkness, the sound of composed music with a faint techno style to it filling the sound within the room.

Just then, the viewing screen immediately showed an image of an ornate and technologically advanced planet, large towers protruding from under the surface, surrounded by an orange fog as above the surface, fighting ensued.

Blaster fire of blue and orange shot from every direction, highly advanced and futuristic jets flew through the sky of the planet, firing down onto the surface of the planet, causing explosions.

The viewing screen then showed the name of the planet.

CYBERTRON


The sudden appearance of a large scale battle upon the viewing screen had caused many in the audience to widen their eyes in surprise.

"Well, that was quick." Roman muttered out a comment as he and Neo watched the scene with wide eyes.

"That… is a lot of gunfire and explosions." Ruby slowly exclaimed in awe.

"What is going on?" Ironwood asked in shock.

"Welcome to the planet Cybertron." Vortech introduced the audience. "What you are currently seeing is one of the many large scale battles within the Cybertronian civil war."

"This is an entirely different planet?" Ironwood asked in surprise.

"My question is as to what kind of planet would garner the name of Cybertron." Oobleck asked as he carefully observed the viewing screen.

"The kind of planet made entirely out of metal. Inside and out." Vortech informed the bespectacled man.

"The entire planet is made of metal?" Weiss asked in shock.

"If the planet is made out of metal, then what kind of inhabitants does Cybertron have?" Ren asked.

Vortech merely motioned for everyone to look towards the viewing screen as the battle continued.


The scene cut to an Autobot, colored in white and red with a two-pronged, crown-like plate upon his forehead, as he fired back against the oncoming Decepticons. His name was Ratchet.

Behind him was an Autobot, similar in build to Ratchet, though this Autobot was mostly red with a few grey areas, though his head did not have the two-pronged crown-like protrusion like Ratchet did. This Autobot's name was Ironhide, and he too fired back at the Decepticons before taking a hit to the shoulder.

Ratchet turned his head to speak to his allies. "They've broken through the front lines!"

Two of Ratchet's allies were shown, one was an Autobot with a female build, decked in pink and white with a wing-like backpack on her shoulders. Her name was Arcee.

To the right of Arcee was an Autobot in a maroon color, his chest resembling the front of some form of futuristic car, and his head having small horns atop it. This Autobot was named Cliffjumper.

As the fighting ensued, Arcee had her left hand to the side of her head, trying to get an answer from the comm link as she held her blaster in her right, Cliffjumper firing at the Decepticons as she did so.

"I've lost contact with the capitol!" Arcee alerted her fellow Autobots.

"There's too many of them!" An Autobot named Wheeljack yelled as he turned back for a moment to face Arcee. His color was mostly white with some red and green. He too had wing-like protrusions from his back as his head had two fin-like protrusions on each side of his face, both of them glowing blue as he spoke, his mouth obscured by a mask.

Just then, one of the Autobots was shot dead, his corpse violently bouncing back.

"Stand fast!" The Autobot Brawn yelled. He was a bit more bulkier compared to his allies, decked in yellow and green with a dome-esqe silver helmet.


"They're… all robots." Ironwood said in surprise.

"Autonomous robots. These are Cybertronians." Vortech stated to the General.

"Autonomous? You mean these robots have actual feelings and emotions?" Ozpin asked in awe.

Immediately Ironwood, and by extension, Ruby, thought back to one Penny Polendina. However the overall design of the Cybertronians were far beyond anything they had ever seen or dreamed of.

"This is… far beyond anything I've ever seen." Weiss said in awe. "I don't think even Atlas has this kind of advanced technology."

"Now, hold on a minute. I'm sure we're all surprised about these Cybertronian guys, but didn't you say there was a civil war going on?" Qrow asked Vortech.

"The Cybertronian Civil war, yes." Vortech said with a nod. "Two sides fighting for the planet. The Autobots, who fight for freedom. And the Decepticons. Cybertronians who believe in peace through tyranny."

"Sounds intense." Roman commented to Vortech. Not much else he could think to describe everything he was seeing and hearing.

"Peace through tyranny?" Pyrrha asked, appalled by the prospect. "Who would ever believe in such a concept?"

Those in the audience who heard what Pyrrha asked immediately went towards their own thoughts. For Ozpin and his Inner Circle, the thought of Salem and certain members among her subordinates came to mind. For Blake, the thought of one Adam Taurus popped inside her head. A thought she found quite unpleasant.

"The history of the Cybertronians is quite vast. There were many events that led to the war." Vortech spoke to Pyrrha. "In many universes where Cybertron resides, the Decepticons started out as a revolution against a corrupt caste system, before they turned to a life of conquest and tyranny."

"So, in a sense, these Decepticons are almost comparable to the White Fang." Oobleck observed. Oobleck's words caused Blake to flinch a bit.

"That's the closest comparison from anything on Remnant you're going to get with the Decepticons." Vortech replied back.

"Sounds rough." Tai said with a small grimace. "How long has this been going on?"

"Oh, you know, a little over four million years and counting." Vortech said as it wasn't a huge deal.

"Four million?!" Glynda exclaimed in shock.

"Holy shit." Qrow swore with wide eyes.

Even Ozpin had his eyes wide in shock of the revelation. He was one of the oldest people to ever live on Remnant, but he was never old enough to claim to have lived for four million years.

"That is a… really long war." Jaune said with a gulp.

"Cybertronians live for a very long time." Vortech replied to Jaune. "So long as they have their fuel source, Energon, they can live for millions of years on end."

"This Energon must be quite the fuel source." Ironwood said with an impressed look.

"More powerful than Dust." Vortech added. "And longer lasting."

Ironwood nodded at Vortech's words as he started to try and imagine just how effective Energon was.

"Back to the Autobots and the Decepticons, are we to take it that the ones we just saw were Autobots?" Ren asked Vortech.

"Indeed." Vortech said with a nod. "The one in red and white is Ratchet, the chief medic. The one similar in build to Ratchet, though only red in color, is Ironhide. The female in white and pink is Arcee. The shorter maroon Autobot next to Arcee is Cliffjumper, one of the most dedicated to the Autobots. The white, green, and red Autobot with the fins and face plate is Wheeljack, the lead scientist. And the broad one in green and yellow is Brawn, a master combatant."

"Huh. Those names are… surprisingly not so alien." Weiss said with a raised brow. "Though they do seem interesting, regardless."

"I think some of their names are awesome." Yang said with a smile. "Ironhide. Cliffjumper. Brawn. Wheeljack. They all just roll off the tongue."

"Ah, believe me, Miss Xiao Long, the best has yet to come." Vortech said to Yang with a knowing smile beneath his mask as the viewing continued.


Brawn let out a loud grunt before he was shot in the shoulder, sending him tumbling backwards.

The scene then showed three Decepticon Seekers firing down upon the Autobot group from a nearby tower. They each had a similar design, with wings on their backs and jet cockpits as their torsos. They each shared the colors white and grey while being separated with their own distinctive colors, one being purple, one colored in teal, and another colored in green with a con-like protrusion coming from behind his head.

One of the Seekers cackled before yelling to his comrades. "Finish them!"


"So those must be the Decepticons." Glynda observed with slightly narrowed eyes. Telling right away that they were the bad guys.

"Correct. Though these Decepticons, in particular, are Seekers." Vortech explained. "The aerial division of the Decepticon army."

"You know, it's funny you say that, because those Seeker guys almost look as if they have airship parts on their bodies." Jaune said as he observed the appearance of the Seekers.

"Huh. Yeah, you're right." Ruby said in agreement with her fellow team leader. "They have wings on their backs, and it looks like there are cockpits in their chests."

"Why would they have cockpits in their chest?" Weiss asked in confusion. "I know Vortech said they are a part of the aerial division, but other than that I don't see the reason as to the purpose of having airship cockpits in their chests."

Meanwhile, Vortech couldn't help but silently chuckle to himself, knowing full well the reaction the audience would have when they see what Cybertronians could really do.


However, the lives of these Seekers came to a swift end when they each were taken down from the blaster fire of another Autobot.

This Autobot came running into the fray, colored in red and grey with a torso resembling that of a semi truck's grill and windshields. His legs were blue as was his helmet, which had fin-like protrusions sticking up from the side of his head, a crest upon the top of his head that led to a diamond-shaped grill upon his forehead, his mouth hidden by a mask.

This was the leader of the Autobots, the brave and valiant Optimus Prime.

Optimus ran into battle, firing his Ion blaster at the Decepticons before dodging an explosion-caused by blaster fire-by jumping high into the air, grunting before he landed back down with a barrel roll.

Getting to his knees, Optimus fired at Decepticons left and right. A blue Seeker came running at Optimus, in which the leader of the Autobots responded by firing at his shoulder, knocking the Seeker off balance, after which grabbed the Seeker by his other shoulder, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground as Optimus rose back up.


"Woah…" Jaune trailed off in absolute awe.

"That was epic!" Nora shouted in giddy joy.

"Do you see the way he took out every Decepticon that attacked him?!" Ruby asked aloud in absolute joy. "He was all: Bang! Bang! Bang! And punch and slam, and it was just so awesome!"

"Who is this warrior?" Pyrrha asked in awed curiosity.

"Whoever is, he's a badass. That's for certain." Yang said as she felt excited from just watching the tall, red and blue Cybertronian fight.

"Judging from his stature and skill, he must be an important figure in the Autobot ranks." Ozpin observed the Cybertronian. Though deep down, the Headmaster of Beacon had sensed something almost ancient and powerful about this particular Autobot. Something that was almost… pure and holy.

"That Cybertronian is the leader of the Autobots. Optimus Prime." Vortech said, saying Optimus's name with a sense of respect and power.

"That sounds… pretty intense." Roman commented off to the side, as even he and Neo were impressed with the quick skill Optimus Prime had shown in battle.

"Optimus Prime? Now that is an awesome alien name." Yang nodded with a smirk. "The name alone just sounds powerful."

"Yes, indeed." Vortech nodded in agreement. "I don't say this about many beings in the multiverse, but Optimus Prime is a being that is near-perfection. He is what one would call a true leader."

"This Optimus Prime guy must be something." Tai said with a whistle. "He especially had some good form in fisticuffs. Used his weight of the punch to carry a guy over and slam him into the ground."

"It's easy to see why this Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots." Port said with a nod of respect towards Optimus.


"Where's B-127?" Optimus asked his fellow Autobots.

The scene then cut to a yellow, Cybertronian car racing across a damaged road before two guns popped it from atop his hood, firing at the Decepticons from behind.

The yellow vehicle then raced up a ramp before knocking two Seekers out from behind, transformers as he did so.

This Autobot was similar in design to Cliffjumper. The only difference was his color scheme was yellow, and his head was different, sporting something akin to a mask instead of a mouth as he had two fin-like horns atop his head. This was B-127, soon to be known as Bumblebee.

As B-127 transformed, he landed onto a purple Seeker, knocking the Seeker off from his elevated position as he and B-127 fell down to where Optimus was.

The Seeker yelled out as he fell, B-127 atop of his chest. The moment the Seeker hit the ground, B-127 used the momentum to take the Seeker's head off, passing by two Autobot soldiers as he did a small roll before kicking away the decapitated head of the Seeker.

The Seeker's head flew passed Optimus, and right into a Seeker that was trying to sneak up on the Autobot leader, only to crash down to the grated ground with a grunt as the head hit him square in the chest.


While the action sequence displayed by B-127 was quite impressive to the audience, what shocked them the most was that the Autobot had transformed from futuristic car into a robot.

"They can… transform?" Ironwood asked in complete shock and awe.

"Remarkable." Oobleck said in equal astonishment. "Absolutely remarkable."

"I… guess that explains why the Seekers had airship parts on them." Blake said with wide eyes.

"Awesome." Ruby quietly squealed in her seat.

"That is… definitely a new one." Qrow said with wide eyes before he slowly took a swing of his flask, not taking his eyes off of the viewing screen.

While everyone had their own thoughts about the Cybertronians being able to transform, Yang in particular couldn't help but be drawn a bit to B-127.

"So, who's the yellow and black Autobot?" Yang asked while turning her head back towards Vortech. "He seems pretty badass himself. I especially like his color scheme."

"That is B-127. The courageous Autobot scout, and long time friend of Optimus Prime." Vortech informed Yang.

"Huh. You know, Yang, that Autobot has the same colors as your bike." Tai noticed in regards to B-127.

"Yeah. One of the reasons why I like B-127 already." Yang said with a smirk before her face twisted in confusion. "Though I gotta ask why his name is a letter and a couple of numbers instead of something like the other Autobots."

"Some Cybertronians started out as numbers." Vortech explained. "There were many who gave themselves nicknames, in order to break away from being more than a number."

"Wait, why would they even be called numbers in the first place?" Blake asked with furrowed brows, thinking back to number systems that SDC mines use for their workers, and slaves.

"An excellent question. For a later time." Vortech dismissed Blake with a wave of his hand. "All you need to know for now is that only being referred to as numbers was a part of the corrupt caste system Cybertron was once under."

Blake widened her eyes a bit at this, but decided that she wouldn't press on the matter for now, opting to look back towards the screen as the viewing continued.


Optimus looked over at the downed Seeker before looking back to B-127, who walked up to his leader.

"Sorry I'm late." B-127 said to Optimus as he made sure to watch for incoming blaster fire. "Hit a little traffic."


"Oh yeah. I definitely like this guy." Yang chuckled with a smirk.

"He makes quips in the middle of battle. I can see why you like him." Blake said to her partner.

"A little humor can definitely help alleviate one's mind in the midst of battle." Ironwood said with a nod as he focused on the viewing screen. "Though the scale of this battle is perhaps the largest I have ever seen."

"In terms of scale, the closest Remnant may have ever seen a similar battle such as this would have been during the Great War." Oobleck added.

"Though seeing as how this Cybertronian war has been going on for millions of years, I'm pretty sure the Great War pales in comparison to this." Qrow said with a relaxed position.

"There's no doubt about that." Oobleck concurred to Qrow's statement.


"Get down! Incoming!" An Autobot yelled out.

B-127 turned around, widening his optics as Optimus looked up to where B-127 looked, widening his optics as well.

"Uh, Optimus." B-127 said in a weary tone as the two spotted Decepticon reinforcements heading their way.

One of the leaders of the Decepticon reinforcements jumped down to the Autobots' position with a computerized, video game-esque whir.

This Decepticon was colored in a deep blue, his chest was like a large window with the frame trimmed in gold with red trims on the glass, accompanied by the Decepticon emblem that was upon his chest. On his right shoulder was a cannon of sorts. His face had a mask over his mouth, his optics covered by a visor that glowed red. His helmet had two protrusions stemming up from the sides of his head, as his forehead had a large and blocky two-pronged crest that curved to the back of his helmet, his overall head similar in design to the very emblem on his chest.

This was the Decepticon's communications officer, and right-hand bot of Megatron. This was the ever loyal Soundwave.

"Decepticons." Soundwave started in an emotionless, computerized voice. "Attack!"

Behind Soundwave were even more Decepticons, two standing out as the other co-leaders of the reinforcements.

One of these Decepticons was covered in purple with a few grey areas. He was a bit bulky in design as his left hand was replaced with an astromag cannon with a tube-like cord attached to the lower part of his cannon-arm that fed into his back. His head was shaped like a flattened hexagon with two grey, fin-like protrusions jutting out and up from the side of his head. His head showed no mouth, and no face, save for a single, large, yellow eye at the center of his head.

This was the chief scientist of the Decepticons. The cold and calculating Shockwave.

Next to Shockwave was a Seeker colored in red, white, blue. This Seeker's head was more rounded and smooth compared to the more sharp and angular heads of the other Seekers.

This was the second-in-command and commander of the Decepticon Seeker armada. The ruthless, silver-tongued Starscream.


"Looks like the Cons got some backup." Yang said with a serious look.

"Cons?" Weiss asked with a raised brow.

"Just feels easier to say than Decepticons." Yang replied with a shrug.

"Judging by the disposition of these new Decepticons, I would likely imagine some of them must be of higher rank." Ozpin observed the newcomers on the battlefield.

"Yeah, the blue one with a visor-mask combo, and the one eyed purple guy with a gun for a hand are pretty much dead giveaways." Roman said with some snark in his voice. "Especially since the blue one actually sounds like a robot."

"You would be correct in your assumption, Ozpin." Vortech said to the Headmaster of Beacon. "These Decepticon reinforcements are being led by some of the highest ranking officers in the Decepticon army. The blue one that gave the command is Soundwave, Chief communications officer and right-hand man to the leader of the Decepticons. Out of all the Decepticons to ever live, Soundwave is undeniably the most loyal their leader and the Decepticon cause."

As Vortech gave his explanation, Neo looked towards the image of Soundwave, and couldn't help but smile a bit at him. Based on what Vortech just said, she couldn't help but feel a small connection between Soundwave and herself.

"The purple cyclops with the cannon arm is Shockwave. The chief scientist of the Decepticons who uses cold logic to determine battle strategies." Vortech continued in his explanation. "And finally, there is Starscream, the Seeker commander in red, white, and blue. He is as treacherous as he is skilled in aerial combat, as well as being the second-in-command to the Decepticon leader."

"Well, these guys sound cheery." Qrow said with blatant sarcasm.

"They'll undoubtedly make this battle much more difficult for the Autobots." Glynda said with a small grimace. "It was already evident that the Decepticons had the upper hand before, but the arrival of Decepticon leadership will prove troublesome."

Many in the audience agreed with Glynda's observation, though there were those in particular who became curious as to who the leader of the Decepticon was, upon hearing the title from Vortech. Soon enough, someone from the audience decided to ask the question.

"Hey, wait a minute, you said leader of the Decepticons." Ruby spoke to Vortech. "Who exactly is their leader?"

"Their leader is a powerful and deadly combatant. One whose skill is only matched by a select few." Vortech said as if he were telling the audience a haunting tale around the campfire. "He has gone by many names. Champion of Kaon. Emperor of destruction. But throughout Cybertronian history, he is forever feared and known… as Megatron."

The audience did not know why, but the description and name alone of this Megatron had sent chills and shivers down each of their spines. Whoever Megatron was, to be the leader of a warring faction that believed in peace through tyranny was not someone to be taken lightly.

The thought of Megatron stewed in the minds of audience as the viewing started to continue.


Soundwave, Shockwave, and Starscream led their assault on the Autobots, firing down hard on them.

Optimus knew this was quickly becoming a losing battle, and gave an order of retreat to his fellow Autobots. "Autobots, fall back! Get to the tower!"

Optimus and his Autobots fired back at the Decepticons as they made their retreat to the large tower that was behind them.

Shockwave fired his cannon arm at the retreating Autobots before looking to Starscream and a few of his Seekers.

"Destroy the launchpad." Shockwave said to Starscream. "Let none escape!"

Starscream and his Seekers then transformed into their tetra jet modes and started to fire at the retreating Autobots before flying as quick as they could towards the tower.


"Looks like they're making a tactical retreat." Jaune observed, though with some dread in his voice.

"If you ask me, they definitely made the right call." Roman said with crossed arms. "They are way outnumbered to continue fighting."

"Hopefully the Autobots will make it out in time." Pyrrha said with a worried look. "Who knows how short it will be for Starscream and his Seekers to catch up to them."

"Issue at hand aside, I must admit that the Seekers' airship modes are quite intriguing." Ironwood said as he placed a hand to his chin in thought.

"I know, right?" Ruby asked excitedly towards the General. "They just look so sleek and advanced. And I'd imagine they'd be able to pack a punch."

"Of course in a time of crisis you two of all people would be intrigued by bad guy tech." Qrow said with a shake of his head.

"These are called tetra jets. They are the common alternate modes to the Seeker armada." Vortech said to Ironwood and Ruby. "And yes, they are cool."

"Tetra jet… has a nice ring to the name." Ironwood muttered as he took a mental image of the Seekers's alternate mode. Perhaps when they are able to leave Foundation Prime, Ironwood would make designs with Pietro in order to mass produce these tetra jets.

In the back, with Roman and Neo, the criminal mastermind couldn't help but sniffle his nose a bit and furrow his brows.

"You know, Neo, I don't know why, but I have a sudden sense that there's going to be a new piece of Atlas tech that I'm going to be paid to steal in the future." Roman muttered to the pint-sized crook.

Neo, who had been watching the conversation about the tetra jets, and had noticed the thoughtful look on Ironwood's face, looked to her boss with a slightly bland look. She held up a sign to him which read: 'Gee… I wonder why?'


Upon the launchpad of the tower, Optimus spoke to his Autobots as they ran out of the elevator for the tower.

"Cybertron has fallen. Get to the escape pods! There are other Autobots scattered across the galaxy. We must reach if we hope to survive."

Each of the Autobots ran to an escape pod, save for B-127, who walked up to Optimus just as Ironhide entered his escape pod behind them.

"Optimus, this is our home. We have to fight for it!" B-127 argued to his leader.

Just then, several Seekers flew along the neck of the tower until they soon started to fly over the launchpad, something Optimus took quick notice of.

"We will fight on." Optimus said to B-127. "But we must find refuge first."


"Man… being forced out of your home due to overwhelming odds." Yang said with a grimace. "I can't imagine what that's like."

"It's not something to be thought of lightly." Ren said with a calm voice, thinking back to his village. "But sometimes survival requires sacrifices."

"It's admirable that B-127 wants to stay and fight, but the loss of one battle will not mean the loss of the war." Ironwood solemnly spoke. "There will be other chances for them to fight against the Decepticons."

As Ironwood said this, he thought of what Ozpin told him about Salem. How she wanted to destroy everything humanity and faunus have ever built. It were thoughts like these that kept him steeled and determined to make sure Salem would not get the upper hand. No matter the cost.

"Still, to lose your entire planet?" Yang asked with a sorrowful look. "That's like if we were all forced off Remnant because of the Grimm."

"Life isn't always peaceful. Sometimes bad things happen, and there isn't much we can do about them." Qrow said with a firm gaze. "The only thing you can do from there is find a way to move on and make sure you don't lose the next time."

Qrow's words had slowly sunk their way into the minds of the students, each of them thinking upon them with some or much thought.

"Well, I mean, you could try and make sure you can find ways to prevent bad stuff from happening." Ruby said as she tried to bring some optimism to the conversation.

"True. But Qrow is right." Tai told his youngest daughter. "Sometimes you can't always prevent the bad stuff. That way you learn from what happened, and make sure it doesn't happen again."

Ruby looked towards her father and uncle before looking back at the viewing screen in thought. As an aspiring Huntress in training, she wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen to the people of Remnant. But then she started to think about the words of Qrow, and Tai. Would there be bad stuff that she couldn't prevent? No matter how hard she tried? The thought sacred her a bit.

However, Ruby was soon pulled from her thoughts when she felt a hand placed upon her shoulder, looking to the left to see Yang giving her a comforting smile. A smile Ruby soon returned before they looked back towards the viewing screen.


Optimus then activated a hologram on his arm, showing it to B-127 as it showed a holographic image of a water covered planet with land masses of green.

"I found a planet that's well hidden. Remnant." Optimus said before the hologram faded off. The Autobot leader then put his hand on B-127's shoulder as he looked at him. "You will travel there, and establish a base for us. Once we've gathered the others, we'll join you. You must protect the planet. If the Decepticons find it, then our people are truly finished. Now go."

B-127 obliged to his leader's orders as he ran over to an escape, hopping in it as he started to activate it.


"Looks like B-127 is going to Remnant." Yang said.

"Now it just begs the question of what's gonna happen when he gets to Remnant." Qrow said as he leaned forward a bit in his chair.

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked her uncle.

Before Qrow could answer her, it was actually Roman that answered to the young Rose.

"Well, Red, just look at the place we live in." Roman said as he spread his arms out in gesture. "You've got crooks, such as yours truly, terrorist organizations, and governments that would become paranoid from an alien robot from outer space. Looking at you, General."

Ironwood scowled a bit towards Roman's direction, but a hand on his shoulder from Glynda told him to let it go.

"There's a bunch of factors on what's gonna happen when B gets to Remnant. And that's excluding if the Cons don't follow him." Roman finished in his explanation.

Qrow looked back towards the criminal mastermind before shrugging and looking at Ruby. "Yeah, that pretty much sums up what I was gonna say."

"Well, there's still good people on Remnant." Ruby said to Roman with a determined look. "It's not like we're all just going to start shooting at him when he gets here."

Roman just rolled his eyes at Ruby as the viewing continued. "Whatever you say, Red."


As B-127 entered the escape pod, Starscream and his Seekers flew along the neck of the tower and above the launchpad, all three of them transforming their robot modes and firing a barrage of missiles down upon them.

As Starscream and his Seekers flew off, the missiles twirled out and inward in circular fashion as they went over the launchpad and towards the neck of the tower, each missile hitting it and causing an explosion, damaging the tower's integrity and causing it to tumble over.


"The Decepticons must have quite the firepower to bring down a tower like that." Tai said with wide eyes. "All it took were three Seekers."

"If B-127 is going to leave for Remnant, now would be the time." Glynda said with a serious look.


Optimus tumbled a bit from the tower starting to fall as he spoke to B-127. "Good luck, soldier! I'll buy you some time."

Optimus watched as B-127's escape pod launched before he saw a few Seekers trying to fire on a few of the escape pods, in which Optimus responded by firing at the Seekers, killing one in the process.

As the tower fell, Optimus ran along the launchpad before jumping off it with a grunt, landing on the dorsal fin of a Seeker in his tetra jet mode, the Seeker twirling in descent as Optimus continued to ride him.


"So awesome." Jaune said with admiration and awe in his voice.

"And he's riding down on a Seeker." Nora said with an excited smile. "Optimus Prime is the best!"

"Seriously, how much more badass can this guy get?" Yang asked with a smirk.

"Making sure your soldiers make it out of the fire before you do." Ozpin said with a nod of respect towards Optimus. "Prime truly is a leader."

"He's got my respect." Qrow said as he raised his flask up in regards to Optimus before talking a swing.


From his escape pod, B-127 watched the tower fall, bringing up smoke as it did so. B-127 watched the scene with saddened optics as he and the other Autobots left Cybertron from their escape pods, giving the audience a better view of Cybertron.


"Poor B-127." Ruby said in a sad tone.

"Hopefully he'll be able to see his home again." Yang said with a sympathetic look towards B-127, knowing what it's like to lose something dear to you.

"So that's what Cybertron looks like from space." Blake said with a more even tone, though in the back of her mind, she was understanding of what B-127 felt.

"So… this is space." Ironwood said in awe. While it was slightly disheartening to watch B-127 abandon his planet to the Decepticons, the General just couldn't help but get himself caught up in the vastness of space.

"Cybertron truly is made entirely of metal." Oobleck said in awe. "Not to mention its outward design is quite fascinating. Though it is a pity that the Decepticons have won the battle."

"Yeah. Here's hoping B-127 can fulfill his mission so they can eventually get back to Cybertron and kick the Decepticons halfway across the Galaxy." Tai said with a stern look.


As each escape pod flew into their own directions, deep into space, B-127 flew straight to the direction of his mission, and no matter how long the journey would take across the vastness of space, B-127 would get to Remnant, and protect it at all costs.

BumbleBee


"Wait, Bumblebee?" Yang asked with owlish eyes. "As in, like my bike, Bumblebee?"

"Eh. I suppose I can tell you this now." Vortech said with a shrug. "B-127 soon gains the new name of BumbleBee. All through the chance meeting of a certain blonde from team RWBY."

Yang was stunned a bit in silence. By the sound of things, not only was she going to see herself in another universe for the first time, but she's going to get to hang out with B-127. BumbleBee.

There was only one word Yang could think of at the money that could describe what she thought in regards to the revelation. "...Awesome."


The view soon changed to that of a lush, green forest, covered by blue skies and white clouds.

REMNANT

1987


"This universe takes place in the eighties?" Roman asked before giving a scoffed chuckle. "Boy, weren't those simpler times."

"Even if you are a crook, you do have a point." Tai relented in agreement with the criminal mastermind. "The eighties were a fun time."

"It definitely had its moments." Qrow said to Tai. "Back then we were just a bunch of reckless students getting into trouble."

"Initiation day." Port said with a sly and suggestive tone of voice, promoting himself to soon chuckle alongside Tai and Oobleck while Qrow merely groaned in annoyance.

"Back then I was still a field agent." Ironwood said with a nostalgic chuckle.

"Man, you guys must really like the eighties." Yang said to the adults in the audience.

'They're xennials. What did you expect?' Neo signed towards Yang.

"Neo, I'm gonna take that as a compliment." Roman said to his partner as he felt slightly wounded by her sighed words.

"I wouldn't say all of us have fond memories of the eighties." Glynda said while pushing up her glasses.

"You didn't like the eighties, Miss Goodwitch?" Ruby asked with a raised brow.

"Let's just say… I wasn't the same person I am today, and that I'm not proud of the person I once was." Glynda curtly replied to her student.

"That wasn't the feeling we got when we all went to Beacon together." Qrow said while giving Glynda a knowing look.

"Please don't bring any of that up." Glynda said with a sigh.

"Wait, what happened?" Ruby asked in curiosity.

"Let's just say there's a reason most people are scared of Glynda." Tai said with a shiver down his spine, recalling some… painful memories of when he went to Beacon with Glynda.

"Man… the amount of times she kicked guys in the jewels." Qrow said with a harrowed look as he shared a shiver of fear with Oobleck, Port, and even Roman.

Glynda sighed once more while lowering her head down, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Yes. I do recollect records regarding a lot of visits to the nurse's office when Glynda was a student." Ozpin said with a nod, adding more to the deputy headmistress's frustration.

"Yeesh…" Jaune trailed off as he slowly turned his head to whisper to Ren. "It sounds like I would not have wanted to have gone to Beacon when Miss Goodwitch was a student."

"Agreed." Ren whispered back to his friend.

"Huh. I've suddenly gotten a newfound respect for Miss Goodwitch." Yang said with a slightly wide-eyed look.

"Only you." Weiss sighed to Yang with a shake of her head.


The viewing soon changed to show soldiers dressed in black armor. Each of them wore helmets over masks with visors, and each of them carried assault rifles. They all carefully surveyed the forest before one of them, presumably the leader, raised his fist in a halting motion.


Ironwood raised his brow a bit at the soldiers upon the viewing screen. "Is this a reconnaissance mission?"

"You'll see." Was Vortech's reply to the General.

"Why do their guns look… kind of outdated?" Ruby asked with a raised brow.

"You'll see." Was Vortech's reply to Ruby as well.

Ruby merely gave Vortech a lowered blank gaze before slowly looking back towards the viewing screen.


The leader listened for a moment, before motioning with his hand for him and his squad to continue moving. However, only a moment after moving once more, the leader quickly found himself ensnared in a rope trap, yelling in surprise as he was dragged upward along the tree.

His men all started to try and look for what were presumably enemies, but they were swiftly outmatched as another squadron, who had all been dressed in foliage camouflage, had been hiding in the nearby shrubbery. The camouflaged soldiers all came out of hiding and quickly fired their assault rifles at the other squad. Each of them grunting as they were repeatedly hit… with paintball pellets.


"Oh. It's a paintball exercise." Ironwood said in recognition. "I remember my old drill Sergeant having us do these types of exercises whenever we visited Vale or Mistral. Those pellets sting like a bitch."

"Hiding in the bushes." Ruby said with a nod. "One of the oldest tricks in the book."

"Yet, quite the effective strategy." Pyrrha said with a nod of respect to the leader of the opposing team.

"Sometimes people don't always expect the classics." Jaune said in agreement with his fellow team leader.

"They definitely should have scoped out the area a bit more before they moved on." Weiss said in observation of the scene. "If they had been better aware of their surroundings then they might have not fallen into the opposing team's trap."

"Mm." Blake hummed in agreement. Remembering similar tactics used on a few of her missions back when she was a part of the White Fang.


The leader of the losing squadron, the one who was ensnared in a trap, had lost his helmet when he was dragged upwards, revealing the face of one Marrow Amin.


"Marrow?" Ironwood asked with a surprised look.

"You know him?" Glynda asked.

"He was the most recent addition among the Atlas specialists." Ironwood said as he looked towards the alternate version of Marrow. "But the odd thing is that Marrow is a faunus. A dog faunus to be exact. His trait is that he has a tail, something this alternate version of Marrow doesn't have."

"That is because faunus do not exist in this universe." Vortech informed Ironwood. "In fact, faunus do not always exist in many universes."

This piece of news had surprised Ironwood, Qrow, and Tai a bit. However, when they looked at the faces of the other audience members, they didn't find the same amount of surprise.

"Wait, a minute, you guys already knew about this?" Qrow asked his question with a raised brow.

"We learned about the previous universe not having any faunus." Ozpin said. "As well as the previous universe not having aura, Dust, or semblances."

"Really?" Tai asked with a surprised look.

"The same of which can be said for this universe as well." Vortech added.

"Huh. The more you know." Qrow said as he, Ironwood, and Tai exchanged glances before looking back at the viewing screen.


The leader of the opposing squad slowly walked up to Marrow, covered in foliage camouflage over a black zipped up suit. A mask obscuring his face. The man repeatedly fired a paintball pistol at Marrow with each step he took.

"No! Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay!" Marrow yelled in pain as he raised his hands in surrender while still hanging upside down. "I'm dead already, man!"

The leader of the other group halted just in front of the upside down Marrow, before lifting off his mask and tossing it behind him, revealing a young James Ironwood who couldn't help but smile at Marrow.


"It's been a while since you looked like that, James." Ozpin said with a small chuckle.

"Huh. At least I'm still in the military, in this universe." Ironwood said as he observed his younger self. "This is definitely how I looked when I was still a field agent. And it would seem I knew Marrow at this point in my age."


"Oh, not just you." Ironwood said with a scoff to Marrow, still holding his smile. "Being the overachiever that you are, you managed to get your whole squad killed, Marrow."

Ironwood, while still holding his paintball pistol, clapped in mock praise to Marrow. "Bravo."

"Come on, man. Those things sting." Marrow complained to Ironwood.

"What things?" Ironwood asked as he looked at his paintball pistol, before looking back to Marrow, lightly pointing the pistol at his friend. "These things?"

Ironwood then proceeded to shoot another paintball pellet at Marrow.

"Ow!" Marrow yelled in pain as he was hit.

"You know, I wouldn't know." Ironwood told Marrow as he gestured to himself. "I haven't been hit yet."


Some of the people in the audience couldn't help but chuckled at the action of the alternate Ironwood.

"Wow. The General knows how to rub in a defeat." Yang said as she and her sister chuckled.

"Man, I can't imagine how bad those paintball pellets hurt." Jaune said with a slight cringe.

"My family once went out to participate in a paintball shooting game." Pyrrha said with a small look of uncomfort. "Believe me, aura or not, paintballs pack a punch."


Ironwood then fired another pellet at Marrow, hitting him in the face.

"Ow!" Marrow yelled as he went to cover his eye with his hand, meanwhile Ironwood's squad laughed in the background. "Okay, you know what? That's too close, man. You could've taken out an eye. I got a date tonight, man. This ain't sexy!"

Ironwood seemed almost apologetic to Marrow as he spoke to him. "You're right. I'm sorry."

Ironwood then prompted to shoot Marrow once more.

"Ow!"

Ironwood looked towards Marrow in mock surprise. "That one was on me."


This time, more people in the audience joined in laughing at Ironwood shooting Marrow.

"I see this version of you has a certain… sense of humor, James." Glynda said with a raised brow, though she couldn't help but quietly chuckle.

"I was a… different person when I was younger." Ironwood said with a nervous chuckle.

"Yeah, well I wish this younger you stayed." Qrow said while chuckling. "He seems like he would be more fun to hang out with than you."

Ironwood merely rolled his eyes at Qrow before replying to him. "Believe me, I changed for the best. I was definitely a lot more… reckless when I was a field agent."


Ironwood fired again at Marrow, causing his friend to yelp in pain as Ironwood continued to make the thing look like an accident.

"That's a malfunctioning trigger." Ironwood said as he went to inspect the gun, firing again at Marrow. "This weapon is just faulty."

Ironwood fired once more at Marrow, causing him to yelp some more.

"Someone is going to get a talking to…" Ironwood said with a mock stern look as he held his hand up in a shrugging motion.

"Man, would you stop?" Marrow asked Ironwood in a loud voice, spreading his arms out. "All right, just stop."

Ironwood smirked at Marrow as he lowered his arms down.


Once more, the audience couldn't help but laugh at Marrow's misfortune.

"Changed for the best you say?" Qrow asked Ironwood with a chuckle as he pointed his hand towards the screen. "Yeah. Sure."

"It's all fun and games now, but eventually something will come around to change my alternate's perspective." Ironwood said with a more stern face. "You can trust me on that."


Marrow meanwhile sighed as he spoke to Ironwood. "I should've just let you die in Grenada."

"If you did, we wouldn't be able to come to the forest." Ironwood said with a smile as he pulled a pocket knife out of his back pocket, walking over to Marrow. "Run around and play these awesome games."


"Hmm. I don't think I've ever heard of a place called Grenada." Ironwood said with a furrowed look as he brought his hand to his chin in thought. "From the name alone, it sounds like a place that may be close to Menagerie."

"Grenada is an island." Vortech told Ironwood. "It should be stated that the geography of Remnant in this universe is quite different than that of your Remnant. There are much more habitable areas since Grimm do not exist here."

"The Grimm don't even exist in this universe?" Qrow asked in surprise.

"I guess that explains the more outdated designs of the weapons. Even if they are loaded with paintball pellets." Ironwood said. "Without the Grimm, humanity wouldn't have needed to technologically evolve at a faster rate."

"I guess that means no mecha-shift weapons." Ruby said with a dejected tone.

"This universe has transforming robots, and you're sad it doesn't have mecha-shift weapons?" Weiss asked her partner with a raised brow.

"I mean, the Cybertronians are really cool and all, but it doesn't mean that I wouldn't want there to be mecha-shift weapons too." Ruby replied.


"Exactly." Marrow affirmed as Ironwood quickly sliced at the rope that held his friend upside down.

Marrow soon fell to the dirt with a grunt before muffling back to Ironwood. "Oh, I hate you."

"Wow, man, that hurts." Ironwood said with mock hurt as he pulled Marrow up from the ground. "'Cause I love you."

Marrow gave an exasperated nod to Ironwood before looking off to the side, quick to notice a large, burning object falling from the sk.

"But, you refuse to let it in 'cause you got intimacy issues." Ironwood continued to speak to Marrow. "A therapist will probably tell you you weren't hugged enough as a kid."


"Uh oh." Ruby said with a worried look.

"Given the shape of the object, I would say that is B-127's escape pod." Oobleck observed the falling object.

"Ooh, this isn't going to go well." Yang said with a cringe.

"Prepare for impact." Nora added with a nervous chuckle.


"Look, man." Marrow numbly said as he pointed to the object falling from the sky, the other soldiers looking as well.

"Marrow, I know I look stupid, but…" Ironwood started as he turned around, only to stop in his speech upon seeing the burning object falling from the sky, and towards them.


"Now would be a good time to take cover." Ironwood said with a weary look.

"This ain't gonna go well." Qrow said with a knowing look.


"Hey, yo, take cover!" Marrow yelled out as the object got closer to everyone.

Marrow grabbed Ironwood and pushed him and himself to the ground as the other soldiers tried to take cover as well.

However, the large object came crashing at the other soldiers, causing them all to grunt as they were all blown away in a small, quaking explosion as the object crashed into the ground.

All the soldiers groaned as everyone was covered in debris and soot. Ironwood was the first to get up with a cough as he went to check on Marrow.

"Marrow." Ironwood said to his friend with a groan as Mardow coughed. "You okay?"

"Uh, yeah, man." Marrow said with a grunt as he continued to lie on the ground.

Ironwood then pulled out a walkie talkie from his pant's leg pocket, stretching out the antenna as he spoke into it.

"This is Agent James Ironwood." Ironwood spoke into the walkie talkie as he sat on the ground, Marrow clutching himself as he lay on the ground. "I need medical up here now."


"Wow, we are really behind on technology here." Jaune said with wide eyes. "How long has it been since anyone on Remnant used a walkie talkie?"

"There are soldiers potentially wounded, and that's what you're focusing on?" Blake asked Jaune with a raised brow.

"Well… I mean… I was just saying." Jaune said with a nervous look as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"There's a time and place, Jaune." Pyrrha told her partner as she patted him on the shoulder.


"We have a projectile strike in the northwest corner of the training course." Ironwood said as he slowly rose up to his feet, though still leaning over a bit. "Multiple injuries. And would someone please explain to me why you dropped napalm on your own guys!"


"What the heck is napalm?" Nora asked with curiosity in her voice. "From the sounds of things, it can cause explosions."

"Napalm is essentially a highly flammable, sticky jelly used for incendiary bombs and flamethrowers." Vortech informed the ginger bomber.

"Ooh." Nora said as her interests were officially piqued.

"It makes sense. Without Dust, the people of this Remnant would need alternative means for weaponry." Weiss said in observation. I


Soon enough, a soldier on the other line of the walkie talkie replied back to Ironwood. "Negative. There are no live fire drills in the northwest sector."

"What the hell hit us, then?" Ironwood asked over the radio while still panting for breath.

The sound of clunking metal was soon heard as Ironwood directed his attention towards the crash site, where B-127 slowly arose from, looking down at Ironwood as the Autobot was about three times Ironwood's height.

Ironwood looked up at B-127 with frozen shock as the yellow and black Autobot looked back at him.


"So… they'll believe B if he tells them it was an accident, right?" Yang asked with a nervous chuckle.

"He crashed into a bunch of soldiers led by Ironwood." Qrow said with a hint of snark in his voice. "I don't think talking things out is gonna be the first thought in mind."

"Don't just assume I'm going to attack B-127 right away." Ironwood replied to Qrow. "I'm certain the two of us can come to an understanding, and have a peaceful resolution."

"You know, I'm hearing you with my ears, but for some reason, I don't believe you." Qrow plainly said to the General.

Ironwood groaned in annoyance towards Qrow, though before he could say anything else, Glynda had entered into the conversation.

"You two are grown men. Quit arguing with each other and act like it." Glynda told Ironwood and Qrow with a stern look, silencing the two adult men.


"Target on your right!" Called out a soldier from a distance away.

The soldier's fallout caused B-127 to quickly turn around and activate his battle mask as he scanned up ahead with what appeared to be bumblebee-like vision. B-127 had spotted a jeep moving down the road, soon zooming into the forest as he spotted soldiers moving through the trees.

B-127 started to walk away, though not before scanning a jeep that had been beside his feet. The Autobot looked back at Ironwood before he started to run off, leaving Ironwood to watch on.

Ironwood watched as B-127 ran away before he turned to look at the arriving soldiers and several incoming Jeep's that all halted upon moving up to him.

"I need all of you to fan out and track that thing down now!" Ironwood gave his orders while pointing in the direction of where B-127 ran off.

Ironwood then walked towards the lead jeep, opening the door to get in the front passenger seat before closing the door and speaking to the driver. "Drive!"

Soon enough, the Jeep's started to drive off in the direction of B-127.


"Well… would you look at that?" Qrow drawled out without even sparing a glance at Ironwood.

"In my other's defense, B-127 ran." Ironwood stated. "Without any prior knowledge of Cybertronians, my other would find it suspicious."

"He only ran cause your guys had guns on him." Yang fired back at Ironwood.

Ironwood was about to reply back to Yang before pausing in thought, eventually sighing. "Yes… I suppose that didn't exactly help calm the situation either."

Qrow smirked towards his elder niece, giving her a thumbs up for quickly sticking it to Ironwood.

"Did you just mouth off to the General of Atlas?" Weiss whispered to Yang in shock.

"Weiss, we're in another dimension. I seriously doubt protocol is needed here." Yang replied back to her with a dry look. "It's not like I'm trying to disrespect him or anything, but I'm gonna call things out like I see it."

"Yang does have a point." Blake muttered to Weiss.

Weiss looked between Yang and Blake, and then to Ruby who merely shrugged at her partner. This prompted Weiss to sigh while shaking her head. "You're lucky my sister isn't here right now. She takes protocol very seriously."


B-127, who now had his battle mask off, ran through the tree covered forest, looking back to see if anyone was chasing him.

Soon enough, the lead jeep had got onto B-127's as Ironwood called out to where the Autobot was. "There!"

As the Jeep's continued to chase down B-127, the Autobot quickly decided that he needed to get away at a quicker rate, and opted to transform into vehicle mode. However, B-127 had not taken upon the mode he had on Cybertron, but rather now had the new alternate form of the jeep he had scanned earlier.

"What the hell?" Ironwood asked in surprise as the jeep continued to chase after B-127.


"They can scan and turn into other vehicles too?!" Ruby asked aloud with stars in her eyes.

"Pietro would love to see these Cybertronians." Ironwood said with awe.


Ironwood then turned his head back to yell at the soldier in the gunner's seat. "Take it down!"

The soldier complied and shot a harpoon that was attached to the gun via rope. The harpoon was lodged into B-127, causing the Autobot to drive off balance and steer off road before transforming back into robot mode as he rolled down a hill.


"B!" Yang shouted towards the viewing screen.

"Harpoon to the back." Jaune said with a grimace. "That has to hurt."

"It looked like it didn't inflict anything that seemed like fatal damage, so B-127 should be alright." Pyrrha said with a hopeful look.

"B's gone through millions of years of war, Yang." Blake told her partner while placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure he'll be able to shrug off that attack."

"Doesn't mean I can't worry for him." Yang replied back to the cat faunus. "I worry about all my friends, even the ones I haven't met yet."

"Well, Vortech did say that B eventually meets you, so he'll most likely get out of this situation." Blake reminded Yang.

Yang merely looked back towards the screen with a look of concern on her face. "I guess you're right…"


"Get down there now and flush that thing out!" Ironwood ordered the soldiers over the radio.

The soldiers ran through the forest before they came upon a small pond where B-127 had slid down to before running off again.

"There it is!" A soldier called out as they started to fire their guns at B-127.

B-127 continued to run off, deeper into the forest as he was shot at from behind, bullets bouncing off of his metallic posterior. With a bit of the harpoon stuck in his shoulder, B-127 was revealed to now have the parts of a jeep upon his robot mode as he ran through the forest.

Eventually a jeep caught up to B-127 as the gunner man fired the jeep's roof gun at the Autobot, who continued to run off into the forest.

"Target has been located, sir." A soldier informed Ironwood over the radio.

"Light it up!" Ironwood ordered from within his jeep as he was now failing B-127 behind the other jeep.

Upon the order, the jeep Ironwood was in that fired a missile at B-127, though the Autobot was quick to evade, causing the missile to hit a nearby tree instead.


"Missiles, too?" Yang asked with a scowl.

"You really want to take B-127 down, don't you?" Qrow asked Ironwood. "Doesn't this seem a little overkill for someone who just ran?"

"Like I said, I was different when I was younger." Ironwood told Qrow. "Not only was I more lax, but I was also more brash."

"Hopefully nothing too damaging comes of this confrontation." Ozpin added into the conversation as he looked towards the screen. "We wouldn't want B-127 to get a negative view of humanity after his first few minutes on Remnant."

"At least we'll know who's at fault if he does." Qrow muttered, causing Ironwood to narrow his eyes at him.

"Dude." Tai said to Qrow while lightly elbowing him in the shoulder. "Knock it off."

Qrow replied to rolling his eyes before taking a swing of his flask.


B-127 continued to run further into the forest before he activated a blade that came out from the top of his left hand. As B-127 ran past a few large trees, the Autobot slashed his blade at them, cutting the clear in half as the trees started to fall down onto the ground, obscuring the path that Ironwood was tailing B-127 on.

The jeep Ironwood came to a quick halt by the downed trees as Ironwood watched B-127 run off.

"Dammit!" Ironwood swore as he hit the dashboard.


"Nice!" Yang cheered while throwing a fist to the air.

"Good use of his environment." Glynda commented in approval.

"Hopefully that will deter the soldiers long enough for B-127 to find an escape." Pyrrha said.

"Though depending on the efficiency of the soldiers, that window of opportunity may not be open for so long." Ren said as he eyed the viewing screen.


B-127 continued to run off into the forest until he finally started to slow down, pulling out the piece of harpoon lodged in his shoulder with a grunt.

The yellow and black Autobot had found himself at a dead end as a large mountain that was currently being used as a mining operation obscured his path.

"Oh, no." B-127 said with a worried look as he looked up at the mountain.

Soon enough, the sound of the oncoming vehicles came into B-127's audio receptors as he turned to see the soldiers and their heels had gone around from where he left them as they now started to ambush him at the mining facility.


"You gotta be kidding me." Yang said with a groan. "A dead end?"

"Now, hold on. There may still be a chance for B to escape." Ruby said optimistically as she had spotted the mine entrance.

"Let's just hope he's quick on his feet." Weiss said to Ruby as she too spotted the mine entrance.


Activating his battle mask, which looked much like that of a wasp's head, B-127 scanned for some way out of his predicament, until his scanners locked onto the open entrance of the mine.


"Perfect. If B can get to the mine, the soldiers won't be as versatile in trying to catch him." Jaune said with a smile.

"Well, at least B isn't trapped." Yang said with a sigh before she looked back at the screen, smirking at the sight of B-127's mask. "Damn that mask looks cool. Definitely looks like a bee or a wasp head."

"With his color scheme and mask, I'm surprised the dude wasn't called Bumblebee from the beginning." Tai said.

"Built-in long range scanners." Ironwood observed with a thoughtful look. "It's no surprise that B-127 is a scout."


As the soldiers started shooting at the Autobot scout once again, B-127 blocked the bullets with his arms as he ran for the mine entrance.

"He's going for the mine!" Ironwood yelled out as they all started to chase B-127. "Cut it off!"

The soldiers continued to fire at B-127 as the Autobot scout continued to shrug it off as he ran towards the entrance of the mine.

However, just before B-127 could reach the mine, one of the jeeps had snuck in from the side, ramming the Autobot in his side, causing him to tumble down with a grunt.


"Oh, come on!" Yang complained while throwing her hands to the air.

"He was so close, too." Nora said with crossed arms. "Just a few inches away."

"Oh, well. Looks like it's the dissection table for him." Roman said with a shrug.

Yang looked back at Roman with steely eyed glare, and for the faintest moment, the criminal mastermind thought he saw the red eyes of a dark-haired woman wearing a Grimm mask.

Yang eventually set her eyes back towards the screen, but Roman had looked at her with wide eyes before he started to think to himself.

"Sheesh. For a second there, I thought I was looking at Raven Branwen, of all people." Roman thought to himself. "Weird."


Soon enough, all the soldiers and the jeeps surrounded B-127, Ironwood rising up to the gunner seat of the jeep he was in as he aimed the harpoon at the Autobot.

"Move! Move!" Some of the soldiers called out as they surrounded B-127, who slowly got up.

From the inside of B-127's battle mask, he was receiving a beeping warning upon his visor screen.

CORE

SYSTEMS

DAMAGED

B-127 used the visor of his mask to scan the humans and their weapons, landing his optics on Ironwood before the Autobot disengaged his battle mask.


"Oh, this isn't good." Ruby said with a worried look.

"The only choice now is for B to try and talk things out." Jaune said.

"That's only gonna work if these guys don't shoot at him first." Nora told her team leader.

"Here's to hoping it doesn't come down to that." Yang said with a grimace. "Who knows how much more damage B can take."

'Parlay?' Neo signed a suggestion for B-127.


Slowly the Autobot rose to his feet, pleading to Ironwood and his men. "Please. This is a mistake."

It was evident from the looks on the faces of Ironwood and the soldiers that they did not expect B-127 to have the ability to speak, in their own language no less.

"Stay cool. Hold your fire." Ironwood said to his men as he made sure no one prematurely fired.

"I don't want to hurt anyone." B-127 said with a calm voice.


"Okay. Alright. It looks like everything's starting to calm down." Yang said in relief.

"At least my counterpart isn't too brash." Ironwood said as he let out a small sigh.

"See? All they needed to do was talk things out." Ruby said with a smile. "Everything should be alright now."

At that moment, Qrow placed his hand on his head, shaking it with a sigh. "Ruby, what have you just done?"

"What?" Ruby asked her uncle in confusion. "What did I do?"

"You don't say stuff like that." Qrow told his niece. "Invoking Murphy's law is bad luck, all the time."

"I didn't invoke anything, though." Ruby replied in retaliation.

"Just watch." Qrow told his niece as he pointed towards the screen. "Something bad is about to happen."


However, before any peaceful resolution could be found, the sound of a jet in the distance caught everyone's attention as Ironwood turned his head back to see a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter bomber high in the air.

Ironwood watched in confusion as the fighter jet soon swooped around towards their direction. "Who called in the Air Force?"

The view changed to that of the fighter jet as it started to activate its missiles from under its wings.

B-127 had looked at the fighter jet as well before realization quickly took over. "That's not the Air Force."

Ironwood soon looked at B-127 in even more confusion.

The view went back to the fighter jet as it was shown that the missiles had the Decepticon insignia upon them, the jet quickly flying closer to the Autobot and the soldiers.


"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me." Ironwood said with an incredulous look.

"Me and my big mouth!" Ruby cried out as she pulled her hood over in shame.

"Let this be a lesson to all of us." Qrow said as he narrowed his eyes at the Decepticon.

"How did that Decepticon even find B?!" Yang yelled out in disbelief.

"He must have been there before B-127 even got to Remnant." Blake said with a concerned look.

"This is going to prove troublesome." Ozpin said with a grim look.

"B-127 is going to need to deal with that Decepticon fast before it's known that Autobots intend to set up a base on Remnant." Glynda said with a stern, yet worried look.


"Run." B-127 with a fear-ridden voice.

The Decepticon was quick to fire his missiles at the mining area, blowing up some of the vehicles and soldiers while others were blown back from the explosions, all of them screaming.

One of the explosions had blown B-127 into a nearby building, destroying it in the process.

The disguised Decepticon flew around the mining area before circling back around.

With an angered grunt, B-127 lifted some burning rubble off of him, tossing it to the side as he looked towards the oncoming Decepticon.


"Damn!" Ironwood swore as he lightly slammed his fist against the arm of his chair.

"That Con packs a mean punch." Tai commented with a grimace.

"This isn't good. With General Ironwood and his soldiers taken out, B-127 is all there is that can stand up to the Decepticon." Weiss said with a worried look. "And with B-127 having taken damage from being chased, he won't be at full strength to properly deal with the threat."

"Come on, B." Yang stressed in concern. "You gotta stop this guy."


The Decepticon soon transformed as he flew towards B-127, his clawed hand reached outward. The Decepticon was colored in grey, black, and maroon. This was Blitzwing.


"Hello, gruesome." Roman commented with a small hint of fear.

"This is the Decepticon seeker, Blitzwing." Vortech informed the audience. "Hot-headed and brutal. He is a foe not to be taken lightly."

"God, I don't want to like it, but Blitzwing is a badass name too." Yang said with a begrudged sigh.

"Who's side are you on, huh?" Nora skeptically asked Yang with a raised brow and her hand on her hips.

"I'm on B's side!" Yang replied back to Nora. "But I can't help it that both the Autobots and Decepticons have awesome names!"

"Is this an argument we really need to be having right now?" Blake asked with a raised brow and small look of disbelief.


Blitzwing quickly flew at B-127, grasping the smaller Transformer by his chest plate and slamming him into the side of the mountain.

"Did you think you could hide?!" Blitzwing yelled at B-127.

B-127 responded by using his hand to lift himself up and out of Blitzwing's grasp, twirling with a grunt as he kicked the Decepticon in the face.


"Show him who's boss, B!" Yang cheered towards the Autobot scout.

"One on one, giant robot fight." Jaune said with a look of concern for B-127. "Here we go."

"And he's got a mean voice to boot, too." Roman said with a grimace.

'Nice move.' Neo signed in appreciation towards the twirling, overhead kick B-127 gave Blitzwing. Being someone that uses her legs and weapon more so over her fists, Neo can appreciate someone that uses the same tactics.


B-127 went tumbling over as he activated his battle mask, watching as Blitzwing used his winged jetpack to fly over him. Grabbing a support beam from the rubble, B-127 ran at Blitzwing with a yell as the Decepticon landed, aiming to attack him with the support beam. However, Blitzwing was quick to block it with his arm, and threw it away.

Blitzwing then proceeded to slam his fist against B-127, causing the Autobot to stumble down before Blitzwing smacked him away with his arm.


"It would seem Blitzwing has the strength advantage in this fight." Ren observed.

"He swatted away B like a… well a bee." Jaune said, though not sure of the sentence he said.

"Jaune, you better not be trying to make a pun right now." Yang told the young Arc with crossed arms.

"No. No no. I'm not trying to make any puns." Jaune shook his head at Yang while repeatedly spreading his arms in and out in denial. "I just couldn't think of another analogy."


B-127 looked up with a glare as Blitzwing transformed his right hand into a long-barreled gun.

"Now you'll die screaming." Blitzwing told B-127 with a growl. "Like your friends!"

Before Blitzwing could shoot, B-127 quickly lunged at the Decepticon, causing Blitzwing to be knocked down with a grunt as B-127 slid away on the ground before halting himself.


"Woohoo!" Ruby cheered for B-127. "Kick his butt!"

"Break his legs!" Nora cheered as well.

"Despite B-127's size, it would seem he has quite a bit of strength to himself." Oobleck observed.

"Right now, the best way for B-127 to avoid taking damage is attack at a faster rate than Blitzwing can keep up with." Glynda said. "Given his short stature, B-127 will be a little more difficult for Blitzwing to fight in hand to hand combat against without B-127 evading the attack."


Activating his right arm's shoulder blade, B-127 ran and jumped up with a yell as he was more than ready to plunge his blade into Blitzwing.

Just before he could do so, however, Blitzwing activated his boot thrusters and flew himself away from the Autobot, causing B-127 to instead stab his blade into the ground.


"Damn. Just missed him." Yang cursed with a snap of her fingers.

"It looks like Blitzwing has his own limited flight without needing to transform." Blake analyzed the scene. "This means he'll have a better speed advantage over B-127."

"Man, why does the bad guy have the cool stuff?" Ruby asked with an angry pout while crossing her arms.


Blitzwing then quickly flew towards B-127, grabbing onto him as he then carried the Autobot alongside the mountain. Blitzwing then proceeded to push B-127 against the rock of the mountain as he quickly flew upwards, dragging the Autobot against the rock as B-127 screamed in pain.


Everyone in the audience couldn't help but wince and cringe at B-127 being forcefully dragged up against the mountain side.

"That's gotta hurt." Tai said with a wince.

"Blitzwing has to be using enough force that would be strong enough to break anyone's aura." Pyrrha grimaced at the scene. "Dragging someone up against rock with enough force that it shatters the rock on impact is testament enough to Blitzwing's strength."


B-127 quickly had enough though, as he slammed his arm against the mountain rock, causing Blitzwing to lose his grip a bit on the Autobot as B-127 was now dangling below Blitzwing's foot.

B-127 started to climb up along Blitzwing's back, activating his left arm's blade before repeatedly stabbing it in and out of Blitzwing's jet pack, causing the Decepticon to grunt and scream in pain as the engines of his pack started to sputter and malfunction.


"That oughta bring Blitzwing back to even ground." Yang said in approval.

"These Cybertronians really know how to tear themselves apart." Weiss said with a small grimace. "I can't imagine the mess there would be if they were organic."

"I'd imagine there would be a lot of blood." Blake said with some thought.

"Ew. That is not a pretty thing to think about." Ruby said with a disturbed look.

"And they say stabbing someone in the back is a dick move." Qrow said with a bit of a chuckle.

"That's meant in a more figurative sense." Oobleck told the professional huntsman.

"Yeah, no shit." Qrow dryly said to Oobleck.


Blitzwing and B-127 started to grab at each other as Blitzwing flew out of control, smoke trailing behind him as the Decepticon soon found himself flying face first into the side of the mountain.


"Right into the side of the mountain!" Yang cheered. "I bet Blitzwing's regretting dragging B in the air with him."

"The battle isn't over yet." Pyrrha cautiously reminded Yang. "So long as Blitzwing still stands, B-127 has a problem."

"B will take care of Blitzwing. I'm sure he will." Yang said with a confident smile.


B-127 and Blitzwing then fell down from the air and onto a large mountain ledge, Blitzwing tumbling down the side of the mountain while B-127 had more control in his decent, grasping into inclines and ridges of the mountain side before landing down onto the ledge on his feet and hands with a slam.

However, Blitzwing had gotten up quicker than B-127 expected as the Decepticon activated his hand gun once more, firing at B-127 as the Autobot tried to block the rounds with his arms as he was slowly pushed against the edge of the ledge.


"Looks like Blitzwing got the upper hand again." Weiss pointed out with a concerned look.

"At least the bullets aren't piercing B, but…" Ruby trailed off with a slightly worried look. "That is a long drop."

"Look, all I know is that Vortech says B eventually meets up with me, so I know he'll get out of this." Yang said as she crossed her arms, furrowing her eyes at Blitzwing.


Just as B-127 was about to slip off the edge, Blitzwing had stopped firing and grasped the Autobot by his chest plate.

"Tell me where your friends are hiding." Blitzwing orders B-127 with a low and merciless voice.

With a grunt, B-127 gave his reply. "I'll never talk!"

"Is that right?" Blitzwing rhetorically asked B-127 with a slightly sinister tone as raised his left hand, transforming it into a sharp needle of some sort. "Then let's make it official."


"W-wait. What?" Yang asked as her pupils dilated in fear.

"Oh no, what's gonna happen?" Ruby asked with worry.

As everyone started to question as to what was about to befall B-127, one in particular was connecting the dots faster than anyone else.

Neo wasn't exactly the sweetest girl on Remnant. She was much different on the inside than she appeared outside. She knew how to kill and torture people, how to break them apart piece by piece and make sure they stayed alive long enough to feel every ounce of pain. So Neo was quick to recognize the sadistic tone in Blitzwing's voice, and after hearing the Decepticon's rhetorical question towards B-127's defiance, she was quick to figure out what Blitzwing had planned. Safe to say though, given her own predicament, she would not inflict this kind of torture upon anyone. All the mute girl could do now was watch in silence with wide eyes as to what was about to occur.


B-127 looked at the metallic needle before facing Blitzwing once more with wide eyes as the Decepticon proceeded to jam the needle into B-127's neck. Sparks went flying as Blitzwing twisted and turned the needle, causing B-127 to grunt and groan in pain before Blitzwing used the needle to pull out a chunk of the Autobot's neck.

Blitzwing held up the piece of B-127's neck as the Autobot's visor scanned the part as another warning popped up on his screen.

SPEECH

SYNTHESIS

DISABLED

B-127 repeatedly clutched at Blitzwing's grasp as sparks flew out from the Autobot's neck, B-127 no longer being able to produce a form of clear speech.


Upon this action, everyone was stunned in shock. The action of Blitzwing taking away B-127's voice was something very few of them had thought would happen.

As for Neo, who had anticipated Blitzwing's actions, had silently gulped as she held her hand to her throat. Roman, having looked to Neo after watching B-127 get his throat ripped out, placed a comforting hand on his partner's shoulder.

"My god…" Jaune said with wide eyes, stunned in shock along with the rest of his team as Pyrrha put her hands to her mouth in wide-eyed horror.

"That bastard!" Yang growled out in livid anger towards Blitzwing as she slammed her fists against the arms of her chairs.

"He… he tore out B's voice box." Ruby slowly said in horror as Blake and Weiss held similar looks to their team leader.

"Despicable." Glynda said with disdain towards Blitzwing.

"Poor choice of last words." Qrow bitterly said towards B-127 with a grimace.

"The Decepticons truly are tyrannical." Ironwood said with a scowl.

"To have one's own voice torn out of them during battle." Oobleck said with a frown.

"It's not a pleasant thought." Port added in agreement with a grim tone.

"I don't think I've heard of, or seen anything this brutal." Tai said while shaking his head.

Ozpin, for the most part, had been silent throughout the scene. While it was still horrifically shocking to see, in truth, he had seen Salem do similar and far worse things to people who sided with him, or to anyone that at the very least went against her. Safe to say that throughout his long life, Ozpin had become somewhat numb to these sort of things, though that still didn't stop him from silently giving B-127 his sympathies.


Tossing B-127's vocal synthesizer to the side, Blitzwing then carelessly released B-127 from his grasp, allowing the Autobot scout to wordlessly plummet down the mountain.

B-127 tumbled down alongside the mountain, causing debris of rock to fly off before he fell down onto another ledge, rolling against it before he was flung off the edge and onto the ground of the destroyed mining facility.


A few people in the audience couldn't help but flinch with each rock and stone B-127 crashed into during his descent down the mountain.

A look of sadness had fallen upon Yang's face as watched Blitzwing cast B-127 down the mountain, as if the Autobot was a piece of worthiest junk.

"B… no…" Yang said with wide eyes.


Soon enough, the sound of Blitzwing flying down towRds the bottom of the mountain, and landing a bit away from the damaged B-127 was heard throughout the audience. Blitzwing's footsteps slowly approached before the Decepticon came into view.

B-127 tried to look up at Blitzwing as the Decepticon grabbed him by the chest plate once more.

"B-127." Blitzwing calmly spoke to the Autobot as he lifted him off the ground with one hand. "As a member of the Autobot resistance, you are a traitor to Cybertron. And are hearty sentenced… to death."


"Come on B. You can't lose." Yang muttered as the situation had become stressful for her.


However, unknown to Blitzwing, B-127 wasn't ready to lose just yet. Tightening his fist, the Autobot wordlessly grasped at the plating on Blitzwing's arm, tearing it open to reveal two of the Decepticon's missiles.

From there, B-127 quickly tore out one missile and stabbed it into Blitzwing's chest.

Blitzwing looked at the missile embedded in his chest in wide eyed shock as the missile started to beep rapidly. As Blitzwing used his other hand to try and pry the missile from his chest, B-127 used the distraction to push himself away from Blitzwing's grasp, throwing himself a distance away back into the ground.


"Yes!" Yang let out a cheer while throwing her hands to the air. "That's what I'm talking about!"

"Oh, thank God." Ruby said with a sigh of relief.

"Looks like Blitzwing slipped up." Nora said with a toothy smirk.

"He prematurely thought the battle to be his." Glynda said. "Let this be a reminder, children, that just because your enemy may seem weakened, they are not yet defeated."

"And now, Blitzwing is about to pay dearly for his mistake." Ironwood said with a smile of relief, feeling some gratitude that the soldiers the Decepticon had killed would be avenged.


Blitzwing continued to struggle in getting the missile out from his chest, but to his dismay, the missile was stuck. "No…"

B-127 then proceeded to slowly lift himself up, transforming his right arm into its blaster configuration as he aimed towards the missile lodged in Blitzwing's chest.

"No!" Blitzwing yelled out for one last time.

With narrowed optics behind his battle mask, B-127 fired at the missile, blowing it and Blitzwing up in the process, destroying the Decepticon in a large explosion.

When the explosion cleared, B-127 looked to the rubble where burnt out and damaged remains of Blitzwing now lie, ranging from pieces of the Decepticon's wings to his burning head.


"That. Was. Awesome!" Nora cheered with childish glee. "That was one of the best explosions I have ever seen!"

"Huh. What do you know? The scout survived." Roman said as he turned to his partner. "Well, Neo, looks like I owe you five lien."

Neo smirked towards her boss before looking towards the screen, her smirk widening a bit more at the brutal death of Blitzwing.

"And just like that, B makes Blitzwing go out with a bang. Hahahaha!" Yang clapped her hands once as she laughed at her own pin and B-127's victory.

"Yang, that pun was obvious, but I'm going to let slide this once." Ruby told her older sister with a sigh.

"It may have been a gruesome battle, but B-127 won in the end." Pyrrha said with a smile.

"And not a moment too soon." Weiss added in agreement.


Slowly, B-127 arose to his feet, the last one standing as he walked forward a bit. B-127 then went to inspect the damages his body had incurred, his visor glitching out as another warning appeared on his screen.

MEMORY

CELLS

FAILING


"Wait…" Yang paused in her merriment over B-127's victory. "What?"

"What does it mean that his memory cells are failing?" Ruby asked in worry,

"Exactly what it sounds like it means." Vortech replied to Ruby in a dull tone.

"So you're telling me that B made it through all of that, and he's about to lose his memories?" Yang asked, completely gobsmacked. "Who he is? What his mission? Everything?"

"That's what memory loss is." Vortech replied to Yang with a raised brow.

"Bullshit!" Yang swore in anger.

"I guess that battle took more out of him than we thought." Blake said as she cast a small look of concern towards B-127.

"No good deed goes unpunished." Qrow muttered with distaste.

"This will definitely prove an issue." Ozpin said with a frown. "Until B-127 somehow gets his memories back, he won't remember to establish a base for the Autobots, and the Decepticons will continue to have the upper hand."

"That is just not fair at all." Jaune said with crossed arms.

"Indeed, but Cybertronians are a robotic species, and thus most likely work very differently when compared to organic species." Oobleck analyzed with a calm voice. "As down heartening as this is, B-127 has suffered significant damage. While we may not like it, this is something that can happen in a heated battle, such as the one we just viewed, to anyone."

"At the very least, we can be thankful that B-127 was able to stop the current Decepticon threat." Ironwood said as he gave a sympathetic look to the Autobot. "Now… all we can do is wait and see how he will be able to recuperate."

As Ironwood said this, Yang looked towards B-127 with worry in her eyes, hoping that Ozpin and Ironwood would be right about the Autobot scout regaining his memories.


B-127 ceased in inspecting himself for anymore damages as he placed a hand on his destroyed neck, sparks flying out of it before the Autobot started to limp away from the smoke ridden battlefield.

As B-127 limped away, the view changed to that of one of the destroyed jeeps, showing Ironwood to still be alive as he groaned in pain. With a bleeding cut on his head, the agent turned to see the slowly retreating form of B-127, Ironwood breathing heavily as he tiredly glared at the retreating Autobot.


"Oh, yeah. I forgot the General was even a thing here." Roman said with a raised brow, though not really caring that Ironwood was still alive.

Ironwood saw the look on his counterpart's face, and sighed in response. "Oh, no."

"I know that look." Qrow said with a knowing tone as he glanced towards Ironwood.

"This… could be a problem for B-127." Weiss wearily spoke.

"I swear. B gets one victory, only to get several losses as the end result." Yang said with crossed arms and narrowed eyes.

"I fear things will only get harder for B-127 from here on out." Ironwood said with a look of concern.


The viewing changed to B-127 walking out of the forest, limping his way towards a river as his placed his feet in the wet sand before soon falling to his knees and kneeling over, sparks continuing to fly out of his neck before the Autobot finally laid himself down completely, part of his face in the water.

B-127's visor continued to glitch as he continued to receive a warning on his screen.

MEMORY

CORE

CRITICAL

FAILURE

Using his long range scanners, B-127 looked ahead to see a group of humans and their vehicles. The Autobot looked at an RV before looking towards several humans having a picnic. The last thing the Autobot had seen being that of a VW Beetle he scanned before shutting down completely.

MEMORY CORE

CRITICAL FAILURE

INITIALIZING SHUTDOWN

And with that, B-127 powered down.


"That… that doesn't mean he's dead, is he?" Yang asked while glancing back at Vortech, a look of fear and concern in her eyes.

"Relax. I already told you that another version of you meets up with him." Vortech waved her off. "This is just something Cybertronians do when they're badly damaged or low on Energon. So long as the wounds aren't fatal, they'll live."

"So this is sort of like a healing-hibernation state for Cybertronians?" Ironwood asked.

"Correct." Vortech nodded to the General.

"They can even self repair themselves?" Ruby asked in awe.

"For minor wounds, yes." Vortech told Ruby. "But if it's something like a loss of limb, they'll need to reattach it with the aid of a medical professional."

"They are machines." Ironwood said with a nod of understanding. "It would make sense that they may be easier to repair themselves then organic species."


The viewing screen was black for a moment before the time 7:59 appeared in red before it was shown to be the time of an alarm clock upon a desk in a bedroom. Soon enough, the alarm started to blare when it reached 8:00.

The sound of a young woman was heard groaning in her bed before lazily reaching her hand out to try shit off the alarm, missing a few times before succeeding.

"Ugh. Shut up." Groaned the voice of Yang Xiao Long as her face was buried in her pillow while she was under her blanket.


"Looks like this is where I come in." Yang said with a small sigh, though intrigued at the prospect of seeing what another version of herself was like.

'Can we get back to the robots already?' Neo signed with a blank look, wanting to see more action as opposed to watching Yang.

"Already, this Yang seems pretty much the same." Tai commented with a chuckle, knowing that his eldest daughter hated alarm clocks.


Without looking, Yang reached out towards the dresser at the end of her bed, grasping for something until she picked up a Walkman and a pair of headphones. Yang clicked the play button on her Walkman as indie music started to play.

(~Sweetness, sweetness

I was only joking

When I said by rights you should be

Bludgeoned in your bed~)

As the music played, the audience got a good look at Yang's room which held posters of musicians and bands, small model cars on her shelves, a box of trophies, and a few car parts as well.

Speaking of Yang, she had pulled out from under her covers, headphones on and dressed in a short sleeved grey t-shirt as she rubbed her hand over her face before she eventually opened her eyes and got up from her bed, revealing she was wearing dark grey shorts.

(~And now I know

How Joan of Arc felt

Now I know

How Joan of Arc felt~)


"Wow… your room is an absolute mess." Weiss commented with wide eyes.

"It's not a mess. That's just how I keep things nice and tidy for myself." Yang told Weiss before looking back at the viewing screen. "Though I definitely have way more stuff in my room here than I do back at Patch."

"Looks like you're really into cars and music." Blake said to Yang as she observed her room.

"Eh. I'm just cool like that." Yang said with a shrug and a smirk.

While Yang was speaking with her teammates, Jaune couldn't help but raise a brow of confusion towards the lyrics of the song onscreen Yang was listening to.

"Joan of Arc?" Jaune thought to himself.


"Morning, dad." Yang said as she passed by and touched a picture frame of her leaning on Taiyang, both of them smiling.

(~As the flames rose

To her Roman nose

And her Walkman

Started to melt~)


"Hey… wait a minute." Yang said as she furrowed her eyes at the scene in thought before looking back at Vortech. "Why would I say good morning to a picture of dad, instead of just saying it to him in person."

"Yeah, that does seem odd." Tai said with a raised brow as he too looked back at Vortech.

Vortech looked between Yang and Tai with a raised brow before replying to them. "I'm not saying anything right now. I want to hold you in suspense for a few minutes."

"Really, dude?" Tai asked Vortech with a deadpan stare. "You're gonna be like that?"

"My theater. My rules." Vortech replied with a shrug as the viewing continued.


Yang had walked into a bathroom beside her bedroom, walking towards the sink as she started to brush her teeth.

As the music continued to play, and Yang brushed her teeth, she eventually halted in what she was doing as she looked into the mirror above her sink. Moving her hair out of the way, Yang found she had a pimple on her forehead. Nodding a bit without much care for the facial blemish, Yang moved her hair back into place as she went back to brushing her teeth.

While she continued to brush her teeth, the song she was listening to went into a drum solo, prompting Yang to pause in brushing her teeth as she moved her hands in tune to the beat of the drums, essentially air drumming.

Soon the drum solo stopped and Yang went back to brushing her teeth while rocking out to the beat of the music.

The viewing had cut to Yang having already finished in brushing her teeth, proceeding to smell her armpits. She wrinkled up her nose a bit, but didn't do anything about the smell as she shrugged it off and started to gargle on mouthwash.

(~Bigmouth, la-da-da da-da

Bigmouth, la-da-da da-da~)

Yang had finished gargling the mouthwash before spitting it into the sink, using a rag to dry her lips.


"Huh… this Yang doesn't seem to be as self tentative as she usually is." Ruby said with a raised brow.

"Did you seriously smell your armpit, and do nothing about its stench?" Weiss asked Yang with an incredulous look.

"What?" Yang asked as she spread her hands out in defense. "So I'm not as hygienic in this universe. Big deal."

"Keeping up with proper hygiene should be considered a big deal, Miss Xiao Long." Glynda told her student.

"You didn't even care that you had a pimple on your forehead." Weiss told Yang before shivering at the thought of such a blemish.

"Okay, yeah, that part did kind of bother me too." Yang nodded in relentment. "But I can't be blamed if a different version of me doesn't care what her armpits smell like… you know, unless they're super ripe, then I'm gonna complain."


(~Bigmouth...~)

The music cut off as Yang walked out of her room, now wearing a tan, jean jacket that had its sleeves cut off along with tan shorts. In her hands she carried out a box of trophies as the voices of other people were heard in the house.

"No! Don't tickle." The voice of a woman was heard laughing a bit. A voice that was too familiar to Tai and Qrow.


Tai and Qrow seemed to freeze in that moment upon recognizing the voice. Slowly they turned to each other as they shared a look.

"Is that… is that who I think it is?" Tai asked with wide eyes.

"I mean… maybe." Qrow said, though with a confused look. "But that sounded way too giddy to be her."

"Well… it is a different universe." Tai said with a look of uncertainty. "Though I never thought I'd see her again like this."

Yang furrowed her eyes in confusion to the conversation her dad and uncle were having before she decided to rear her head back towards them. "What are you guys talking about?"

Tai and Qrow paused in their conversation to look towards Yang. They shared one more look before Tai sighed and spoke to his daughter.

"It looks like you're about to find out." Tai replied to Yang.

Yang then shared a glance with Ruby before looking back to her father as the viewing continued. "Find out about what?"


"Ow!" The woman said once more while laughing as Yang walked into the kitchen of the house, seeing the figures of Raven Branwen and Summer Rose kissing each other by the sink, the former of which was wearing what surprisingly looked like a nurse's outfit while the later wore a white shirt sleeved shirt and long black pants.


The sight alone was enough to put not only Yang, but Ruby in complete shock as well.

"Mom…?" Ruby quietly asked as she looked at Summer Rose.

"Both of them…" Yang trailed off as she looked at both Raven and Summer in shock, emotions swirling up inside of her that she couldn't even begin to describe.

Blake and Weiss both shared a look before they looked at their other two teammates.

"So… I take it these are both of your moms." Blake said to Yang with a calm look. "Your birth mother and your… super mom."

"Uh, yeah… yeah. T-that's them." Yang numbly said as she and Ruby continued to look at the screen in shock.

"Summer…" Tai trailed off as he looked at the face of his deceased second wife, memories quickly flooding back into his mind.

Even Qrow had a shocked look on his face, though his look was more subdued. "I can't believe it."

"What's going-I-I don't understand." Yang said as if a million thoughts were running through her mind.

"Hmm, yes. I suppose seeing both of your respective mothers once again would have this effect." Vortech mused aloud.

"I think that's putting it lightly…" Ruby numbly said as she continued to look at Summer, not having seen the face of her mother since she was much younger.

"What is even going on right now?" Tai asked in shocked confusion.

"It's like I said. This is a world without aura, semblances, or Grimm." Vortech started in his explanation. "That also means no huntsmen or huntresses."

"...Meaning Summer never died and…" Yang started as she gave a glance to onscreen Raven. "My mom never left dad."

"Of course, not everything seems so picture perfect here." Vortech stated. "Raven Branwen may still be around, and Summer Rose may not be dead, but the cost of prospect is that Taiyang is no longer a part of your lives."

At this Tai widened his eyes before furrowing them a bit. "Woah. Woah. Wait a minute. You're not telling me that in this universe I left my family?"

Vortech raised his brow at Tai before replying to him. "I'm not. In this universe you died of a heart attack."

"...Oh." Tai said with wide eyes.

"What?!" Both Yang and Ruby yelled in even greater shock. Their pupils dilated.

"You? Dying from a heart attack?" Qrow asked Tai with a raised brow. "I thought you would have either bit it from old age or going out swinging. But a heart attack?"

However, Tai did not reply as his thoughts were transfixed on the idea of what would happen if he had died in his own world. How would have things turned out? What would have happened to Yang and Ruby?

Ozpin saw this look on Tai's face, and decided to speak to Qrow. "I believe Taiyang needs some time to process the situation."

Qrow looked at Ozpin before seeing the look on his old friend's face, already assuming as to what he was thinking of before nodding and placing a comforting hand on Tai's shoulder.

"Just let it all out." Qrow told Tai.

"I mean—I don't know what to say." Tai said with a numb look. "And anyways, if I'm dead how did I meet Summer?"

"You didn't." Vortech told the father of two. "In this universe, both Yang and Ruby are the biological children of Raven Branwen. Raven met Summer some time after you died."

"Wait, me and Yang are full blooded sisters in this universe?" Ruby asked with wide eyes.

"Man… and here I thought the Cybertronians were the most shocking thing I would see in this universe." Yang said as she gave the viewing screen a longing look. "Raven and Summer are here, together, and dad's dead. I just… wasn't expecting any of this."

Weiss continued to see that Yang and Ruby weren't done processing the situation just yet, so she decided to speak to Vortech. "Perhaps you should give them a moment before continuing with the viewing."

Vortech gave out hum as he looked at Yang and Ruby. After a few seconds, he replied to the SDC heiress. "Very well. One moment, but another more."

As Yang and Ruby were given an extra moment to contemplate what they were seeing, Roman and Neo looked at the image of Raven Branwen with wide eyes. In Neo's case, she couldn't help but look at the woman with slight fear.

Roman looked at Raven before looking down at Yang, before looking back at Raven. "Blondie's the kid of the Mistrali Bandit Queen? Someone actually did the deed with Raven Branwen?"

Roman then moved his gaze to Taiyang. "And it was that guy?!"

A moment had passed, and Tai had looked down towards his daughters, speaking to them in a calm and tentative voice. "Are you girls okay now?"

Ruby sniffed her nose a bit while Yang had wiped away a stray tear before the two sisters shared a look, soon nodding to each other.

"Yeah, dad. I think we're fine now." Yang told her father with a small smile.

"Are you guys sure?" Tai calmly asked.

"Mhmm." Ruby said with a nod while wiping away a tear. "We're good now."

"Okay. Just know that if you guys need anything, I'm right here." Tai told his daughters with a reassuring smile.

"We will." Yang nodded to her father as she and Ruby smiled at Taiyang.

Yang then looked back towards Vortech and spoke to him. "We're good to go now."

"Thank the gods that didn't take as long as I thought it would." Vortech muttered quietly with an eye roll before he continued with the viewing.


Summer soon turned her head to see Yang approaching, causing her and Raven to quickly separate.

"Uh-oh!" Summer said to Yang in a playful tone while holding her hands up in surrender. "Caught."

"Gross, Summer." Yang said to Summer with a small smile as Raven laughed.

Yang had then pulled out a trash can from under the sink, after which she dumped the entire box of trophies into it, something Raven was quick to catch.

"Excuse me." Raven said to Yang in confusion as Summer grabbed a dish cloth from beside Raven, both adults looking towards Yang. "Are those your diving trophies?"

"Taking up too much space in my room." Yang was quick to reply as her eyes showed she didn't want to speak too much on the subject.

"You're gonna regret doing that." Raven told Yang as Summer nodded in agreement, drying her hands off with the dish cloth.

Yang merely looked at her mother for a moment before looking around the kitchen. "Where's breakfast?"

"Breakfast is conveniently located in the cupboards and the fridge." Raven told Yang as she pointed her arms out to said direction before looking back at Yang with a smile.

"Ah." Yang said, making it seem as if she should have known that would be Raven's answer.

"Try to help out…" Raven started as Yang walked beside her. "...a little."


"Huh. This Raven is a little more…" Tai said as he tried to find the right words.

"Sassy? Giddy?" Qrow asked Tai. "In other words, the opposite of Raven?"

"So was mo-so was she ever like this?" Yang asked her dad and uncle, stopping herself from referring to Raven as her mom, seeing as how that position was held by Summer.

"Well, Yang, it's like we've told you before…" Tai said to Yang with an unsure look towards the viewing screen. "She was a complicated woman. In more ways than one."

"In other words, Raven has never been like this." Qrow reiterated to Yang. "She tended to be… more closed off."

"Closed off, huh?" Yang muttered in question as she looked at the onscreen Raven.


"Yeah. Since I'm such a big kid now, making my own breakfast and what have you." Yang started to say as she walked over between the table and the fridge. "You know how I could be an even bigger help around here, mom?"

Yang then looked to Raven with a calm, yet pleading look. "If I had a car."

"Yang." Raven said with a small sigh as she went back to scrubbing dishes in the sink.

"What do you know, it's my birthday tomorrow, perfect timing for a large cash gift." Yang told Raven with a suggestive smile as she sat down at the table with a milk cartoon and a box of Mr.T cereal. "You know, 500 is really all I need to finish the Corvette."


"Seems like you're more into cars in this universe." Ruby in observation towards the onscreen Yang. "I don't know what a Corvette is though."

"Wait, what does Yang like over cars?" Jaune asked with a raised brow.

"Hey, look, I can appreciate a good automobile, but other than that, I'm a biker chick all the way." Yang crossed her arms with a smirk.


"I don't have 500. You know how much nurses make." Raven said to Yang as she turned away from the sink to look at her daughter.

"Half as much as doctors for twice the work," right?" Yang rhetorically asked with a mock thoughtful look as she started to pour milk into her bowl of cereal.


"Wait, is that actually true?" Ruby asked with a raised brow.

"Well, it depends more so on what you think is more difficult." Ren started to explain to her. "Nurses take on the profession of care delivery, while doctors work in the medical field, trying to save people's lives."

"Ah. I see." Ruby nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, Qrow couldn't help but shake his head at the situation. "My sister. A nurse? I've seen it all now."

"Hehehe. No, you haven't." Vortech chuckled towards Qrow.

Qrow looked back at Vortech before sagging his shoulder with a sigh. "Yeah, you're probably right."


"Tell you what, kiddo…" Summer said to Yang as she slung the dish cloth over her shoulder, pointing to Raven's daughter. "I got another job interview tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll have you swimming in car parts."

"I prefer cash, Summer." Yang replied back rudely with a smile as Zwei had entered the kitchen with a whine.


"Okay, rude." Yang crossed her arms while giving her counterpart the stink eye. "She's just trying to help."

"Now that…" Qrow pointed towards the onscreen Yang. "That is a little more how Raven acted. Full of snark."

"In this Yang's defense, she most likely hasn't moved on from Taiyang's death." Glynda guessed. "Depending on how recent his death was, it most likely has changed her attitude to some degree."

"I wouldn't blame her." Tai said with a sigh. "God knows what happened to me and Qrow when we lost Summer."

Qrow responded by grunting in agreement, remembering the dark place he and his old friend went to when they lost Summer.


Summer nodded as she decided to back off from the subject.

"Don't be rude." Raven calmly scolded Yang. "Feed the dog."

Zwei had then leaned up against the table, looking towards the bowl of cereal Yang was eating.

"Zwei is Ruby's dog. Make her do it." Yang said while eating her cereal, clearly not in a good mood this morning.


"Okay, now I'm acting more like Blake." Yang blandly said with crossed arms. "There is no way I would ignore Zwei."

"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that comment." Blake muttered to Yang while looking off to the side.

"Oh, son of a-!" Tai shouted in realization while slapping his forehead. "Zwei's still by himself at the house!"

"Your point?" Vortech asked with a raised brow.

Immediately, the interdimensional being found himself in the crosshairs of Taiyang, Yang, and Ruby.

"You left Zwei all alone?!" Ruby shouted with a glare. "Who's gonna feed him? Who's gonna walk him? Who's gonna sniper shot his medicine into his mouth?"

"You what?" Weiss asked Ruby with wide eyes.

"Not to mention that he still needs his walks and his baths." Yang listed off, ignoring Weiss's question.

"Did you even have a plan for Zwei?" Tai asked Vortech with furrowed eyes.

"Well, I mean…" Vortech trailed off, his arms shrugged up. "I do now…"

"Yeah, you better." Ruby told Vortech as she, her sister, and her father all slowly looked back to the viewing screen, though not before Yang pointed two of her fingers at her eyes and then towards Vortech's direction.

Vortech couldn't help but blink in confusion before muttering time himself. "What an odd family."


"What?" Ruby asked as she walked into the room, much younger than she appeared in the audience as she wore a karate gi with a yellow belt.

"Aw! You look so grown up in your karate suit." Raven cooed at Ruby, Yang looking up to see Raven reaching down to hug her youngest daughter as Ruby hugged her back. "My baby girl is becoming a woman."


"It's been a while since Ruby was that little." Tai said with a chuckle.

"Aw." Yang cooed at her little sister onscreen. "You look so cute in a karate uniform!"

As she said this, Yang brought Ruby into a tight side hug, much to her little sister's displeasure.

"Yang!" Ruby drawled out in embarrassment.

"Not to mention that since this version of you takes karate, it proves that there's a universe where you do take fighting with more than a weapon." Yang continued to coo and smile at her sister while giving her a small noogy.

"Stop it!" Ruby yelled out to Yang in annoyance as she tried to get out of her sister's grip.


After hugging Ruby, Raven pulled back as realization hit her. "Oh, shoot. I'm gonna be late."

"Can you drop your sister at karate on your way to work, please?" Raven asked Yang before Summer pulled Raven in to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Um, I could if I had a car." Yang told Raven as Ruby sat down at the table.

"Just let her follow you on your bike so nobody abducts her." Raven reiterated to Yang as she leaned on the island countertop, making a grabbing motion with her hands before walking off.

"Abducts her?" Yang asked Raven as Summer ruffled Ruby's hair. "You just said she's a grown woman now."

Raven looked back to Yang, plugging her ears with her fingers as she walked towards the door.

"If anyone tries anything, I will rupture their freaking spleen." Ruby told Yang in a confident tone.

Yang then nodded and pointed to Ruby as she looked at Raven.


By this point, Ruby had finally gotten out of Yang's grip, though Yang couldn't help but continue to coo at the younger version of her little sister onscreen.

"Aw, you even sound cute when you're trying to act confident." Yang cooed at Ruby once more.

"Please. Stop." Ruby said with a blush on her face as she looked towards Blake and Weiss for help, only to find that they shook their heads at her.

"Man this version of Raven is weirding me out." Qrow said as he gave the alternate version of his sister a weird look.

"She definitely seems more tentative than I've ever known her to be." Glynda said as she rose her brow at the Raven variant.

"It's leagues better than what she is now." Ironwood muttered, remembering multiple occasions when he had to deal with Raven and her bandits.


The viewing then changed to a fair ground. People were everywhere, partaking in games, roller coasters, other rides, or eating food from the concession stands as music started to play.

(~And do you feel scared?

I do

But I won't stop and falter~)

Yang was shown boredly and repeatedly plunging a large, old, hand held juicer into a large bucket of lemons, extracting the juices for lemonade. She was also shown in a striped uniform with the colors of red, yellow, white, and blue with red shorts; wearing a similarly multicolored tall hat.


"What am I wearing?" Yang asked, completely appalled.

"Say hello to a minimum wage job." Weiss blandly told Yang with a slight chuckle.

"I look like a freaking circus tent." Yang said with furrowed eyes.

"A circus tent that looks really dead inside." Nora added. "You look like you copied Blake's personality."

"I'm not that depressed." Blake said with slight annoyance. "Why do you guys keep thinking that?"

"Why do you keep acting like it?" Ren asked with a raised brow.

"He does have a point." Ruby agreed with Ren. "You aren't exactly the most open person here."

"Well… I just like to keep to myself. That's all." Blake said with crossed arms as she glanced over to the side.


(~And if we threw it all away

Things can only get better...~)

As the music played, teens and other young adults sat around, conversing and laughing with each other and eating corn dogs. Yang had watched it all from her place of work with a slightly jealous gaze before going back to making the lemonade.

Over at another concession stand named 'Quigués CHURROS' a slightly older Jaune Arc, wearing a white button up shirt with a green apron and a hair net, was serving churros to two customers.

"That's two for you guys." Jaune said with a smile as he handed two churros a couple.

"Thanks, bro." The man of the couple said as he and his girlfriend walked off.

"All right. Have a good one." Jaune told them with a small wave before chuckling. "Eat safe."


"Oh, hey. Looks like I'm here too." Jaune pointed out with a small smile. "And… it looks like I give out churros."

"What the heck is a churro?" Nora asked with a raised brow.

"I have no idea." Jaune replied to her.

"By the looks of things, you're a little older in this universe." Pyrrha observed.

"Well so's Yang. Not to mention that Ruby and the General are younger in this universe." Jaune said with a shrug. "I'm just taking it as par for the course here."


Jaune then started to tap on the countertop of the stand a bit as he looked around the area until his eyes softened upon spotting someone.

Yang had just finished setting up a large tray with corn dogs and cups of lemonade before she started to carry out from her workplace. Kids screamed in excitement in the distance as Yang tried to speedily deliver the food with a small gloomy look on her face.

Just then, Jaune Arc walked up to Yang, attempting to talk to her. "Excuse me. Hi. We've never actually met…"

"Sorry, I can't right now." Yang immediately cut him off as she was more focused on trying to get the food to its designated table.

"Yeah, oh, okay." Jaune said with, feigning being cool with the dejection as two girls ran past him, giggling.


"Wait a minute…" Ruby asked as she furrowed her eyes at the screen before raising a brow in question. "Does Jaune have a crush on Yang here?"

"Uh-I-uhh…" Jaune stuttered as he looked at the viewing screen with a surprised look. "I-I think I do."

Hearing this, and seeing the scene, Yang couldn't help but give a smirk as she cast Jaune a playful look.

"Aw, Jaune, I didn't know you felt that way about me. If you really wanted to, all you had to do was ask." Yang told Jaune in a playful yet slightly husky tone.

Pyrrha had an unnerved look on her face from the way Yang spoke to Jaune as the young Arc looked to the blonde brawler with a tomato red face.

"Uh-no-no no. I-I-th-that's not the case, you see." Jaune stammered to Yang with a small blush of embarrassment. "Uh, I mean, it may be the case with my counterpart, b-but I just see you as a friend. T-that's all!"

At this, Yang couldn't help but laugh at Jaune. "Hahahaha! Relax Jaune. I'm just playing with you!"

"O-oh." Jaune said with one more stammer as he lowered his head with a sigh. "Please don't do that. I don't know what to do when a girl tries to flirt with me. Dad gave no information about that."

"You may need to learn soon." Yang muttered so that only herself and her teammates would hear her. Yang knew that Pyrrha had a thing for Jaune, and while Jaune may be a cute dork to some people, he just wasn't Yang's kind of guy. Besides, she would try and take away the guy Pyrrha liked. She was rooting for Pyrrha to get with Jaune.

Back with the teachers, the majority of them, save Ironwood, all glanced over to Taiyang, something the father of two was quick to notice.

"What?" Tai asked them.

"You're not going to crack down on our version of Mr.Arc for his counterpart's crush on Yang?" Port asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah, I kind of expected you to give the kid a death glare." Qrow told Taiyang.

"Eh, like Port said, it's in another universe." Tai said with a shrug. "Besides, the kid seems a little too inexperienced with something as small as flirting to even warrant any suspicion."

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about Mr. Arc gaining a fear of Taiyang." Glynda said with a shrug as everyone looked back towards the screen.


As Yang continued to walk towards the crowded tables, someone called out to her from the side.

"Hey, hot dog girl!" A guy called out to her.

This caused Yang to turn her head to see who called out to her, but in doing so she failed to pay attention towards where she was walking and in her clumsiness she accidentally spilled all the food and drinks into a guy getting up from his table.

"Oh, my god!" Yang apologized to the guy with a gasp of shock. "I'm so sorry. Oh, God."


"Ooh. That sucks." Nora said as she sucked in air through her teeth.

"That's just… yeah." Yang said as she lowered her head and placed her hands on it in embarrassment. "I really should have been looking where I was going."

"That's not gonna look well on a performance review." Weiss muttered with a cringe.

"Yeah. And it looks like I spilled it on a jock too." Yang said with a small cringe. "Given how the other me acts, this is not gonna go well."


As Yang went to pick up the mess that was now on the ground, a few of the girls behind the guy decided to comment on the display.

"Someone's getting fired." A blonde haired girl said in a sing-song voice, causing Yang to sigh with closed eyes.

"If I had to wear that, I would pray to be fired." Another blonde haired girl, Tina Lark, said with a smug tone.

"Good one, Tina." Another girl with dark hair said to Tina with a small laugh.


"Well, looks like we found the generic mean girls." Blake said with a blank look.

"Yeah, I immediately hate them." Yang said with lowered eyes. "If this other me was anything like how I am, they would be in for a world of hurt."

"I don't understand why most prissy girls always act mean." Ruby said with furrowed eyes. "I mean, even Weiss acted a little like that, at first."

Weiss looked like she wanted to retort to Ruby, but after thinking it over, she let out a small sigh. "Yeah… that's not something I'm proud of."

"Break their legs!" Nora called out to the screen.


The guy Yang spilled the drinks and food on had opted to take off his drenched red shirt, revealing his tone abs. Something Tina seemed to enjoy greatly.

"Let's go." The guy quietly said as he flung some excess lemonade off his shirt as he started to walk away.

Yang looked up as the guy left, having picked up all the trash and placing it onto the tray as Tina walked by her, tossing her corn dog onto it as she passed by, adding insult to Yang's wound.

"Oops." Tina said as if it was an accident as she followed her boyfriend while being tailed by her friends.

As this happened, another song started to play as Yang looked over to Tina talking to her boyfriend, her two friends talking to each other beside them. All of them standing next to cars that they owned.

(~On the street where you live

Girls talk about their social lives

They're made of lipstick

Plastic and paint

A touch of sable

In their eyes~)

Tina saw that Yang was eyeing her car and smugly smiled at her before her and her boyfriend each got into their separate vehicles. Yang seeing that the license plate on Tina's car read 'U WISH' she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.


"Oh, yeah. I really hate her." Yang said with a calm glare.

"The feeling's mutual, sweety, but I don't think there's much we can do about it from where we're sitting." Tai told his daughter.

"If you don't like her, then you probably don't ever want to meet any of the Atlas elite. Especially the people my father invites to his parties." Weiss told Yang with a frown.

"It's true." Ironwood said with a sigh. "The Atlas elite tend to look down on a lot of people. But it's not exactly we can arrest someone for speaking down at people, no matter how irking it can be."

"And that is one of the many reasons not to visit Atlas." Qrow commented.

"You said it." Roman added in agreement.


The viewing cut to later in the day as Yang, now in the clothes she had in at home, rode a Puch motorbike along the pier with her headphones on.

(~All your life

All you asked

When is your Daddy

Gonna talk to you~)

Yang was now driving her motorbike up to an old auto repair shop as she parked by one of the warehouses.


"Eh. It's not Bumblebee, but that motorbike does look a little nice." Yang admitted with a shrug. "Though I gotta say, I really like the music here."

"Some of it definitely seems to fit your style." Ruby added in agreement with her sister.


(~But we're living

In another world

Tryin' to get

Your message through...~)

The music started to dissipate as the viewing now showed an older Qrow Branwen trying to get an old handheld antenna tv to work.

"Come on." Qrow said with some aggravation as he smacked the small tv.

"Hey, Uncle Qrow." Yang said to her uncle as she walked into his shop.


"Wow. I am old." Qrow commented with a raised brow. "I look like I'm about to go senile."

"Not to mention that you're messing with a hand-held tv." Tai said with a small chuckle.

"Yeah. Give me a mustache and I might actually look a little like Port." Qrow added with a chuckle.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Port asked Qrow with furrowed eyes and a raised brow.

"I don't know. What do you think it means?" Qrow asked with a sly smirk.

Port continued to furrow his eyes at Qrow before looking back towards the viewing screen.


"Are you still working on that damn car?" Qrow asked Yang as he continued to try and fix his small tv.

"You still working on that damn personality?" Yang snarkily asked back.

Qrow looked up at Yang for a moment before looking back down to his handheld tv.


"Good to see nothing's changed between us, firecracker." Qrow spoke towards Yang.

"Was there any question about it?" Yang asked back to her uncle with a smile.


"What have you got for me?" Yang asked her uncle.

"Whatever you want." Qrow answered her with a slightly bored tone. "Russians are gonna blow us all to hell anyway."

"That's the spirit." Yang told her uncle as she grabbed a toolbox and started to walk off.


"What's Qrow talking about?" Ironwood asked Vortech.

"In this time period, the United States of Sanus, which is a country on the continent of North Sanus, is currently in a Cold War with the largest country on the continent of Anima, known as Russia." Vortech explained to the General.

"Cold War?" Ironwood asked. "What happened?"

"Yes, and did you say North Sanus and something about countries?" Oobleck asked Vortech with his pen and notebook at the ready.

"All you need to know is that this Remnant has a different shape than it does in regards to yours, and that there's a bit of political hostility." Vortech informed the two men. "If you really want to know more, you'll have to wait until we take a break from the viewings."

Ironwood and Oobleck looked towards Vortech, but decided to let the matter go for the time being as they looked back towards the viewing screen.


Before she could though, a black man, named Bill, who was working under the hood of a car, spoke out to her. "Hey, kid. Hand me the three-eighths, would you?"

Yang looked towards Bill as she walked up to the toolbox near him. "You working on the carburetor?"

"Mmm-Hmm." Bill replied back with a hum.

Yang then pulled out a wrench from the toolbox, one that wasn't a three-eighths, and handed it to Bill.

"You need the half-inch." Yang told Bill as she handed it to him before walking away.

"I said the three…" Bill was about to reply to Yang before finding that the half-inch was actually what he needed. "Huh."

Moving his head out from under the hood, Bill called out to Yang. "Thanks, kid."

"Yup." Yang called back to Bill as she exited the shop.

Bill then looked towards Qrow with a small shrug as the elder Branwen nodded to him with a smirk.


"I know how to work on some minor stuff when it comes to vehicles, but I don't think I've ever been that aware in mechanics." Yang said with a slightly surprised look.

"Your counterpart did say you were working on a car." Weiss reminded Yang. "I suppose what this variant of yourself lacks in fighting, she makes up for in mechanics."

"I think it's cool." Ruby said with a smile. "It's like how I know my way around building weapons."

"Yeah. I just hope I don't drool over cars like you do with weapons." Yang told her sister with a raised brow and a knowing smirk.

"I'm not that bad." Ruby muttered with crossed arms and a pout.


Yang was now outside of the auto shop, the top of the shop reading 'QROW's MARINE REPAIR AND PARTS'.

Yang, with a toolbox in one hand and blue crate in the other, walked through a yard of parts and old boats and cars littered with tires and tarps as another song played.

(~You saw me standing

By the wall corner

Of a Main Street~)

Yang soon spotted what she was looking for, being that of a boat, before she set down the crate and walked atop some wooden boxes until she was now standing atop the boat.

(~Take a chance

Like all dreamers

Can't find another way~)

Yang was now using pliers to cut the wires of the boat's engine block as she tried to scrounge the engine for the parts she needed.

(~You don't have

To dream it all

Just live a day...~)

Inspecting a part of the engine block, Yang soon set it down before she stood up and hopped off the boat. Though in doing so, she caused the boat to lean against another boat, which leaned into another boat that caused a tarp to be slightly pulled off of an old yellow car.

Yang soon spotted the car with slightly astonished eyes as she walked over to it, inspecting it before lifting the tarpoff of it some more, revealing the car to be a VW Beetle.


"Wait a minute… is that?" Ruby asked as she squinted her eyes at the VW Beetle.

"It is the same car B-127 scanned before he shut down." Blake stated.


As Yang walked towards the driver's side of the vehicle, a small beehive was shown just right above the front wheel of the car, the bees buzzing lively.

Yang then opened the door to the driver's seat, swatting away a bee before she inspected the inside of the car. Car was littered with dried leaves and some dirt, though to Yang's small interest, there was an odd symbol on the steering wheel of the vehicle, a symbol that looked like a face of sorts.


"It is. It is B!" Yang said with a cheer.

"How the heck did he end up in an auto shop owned by uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked with a raised brow.

"I don't know. And I don't care." Yang said with a smile. "I'm finally united with B."

"Given the dirt and leaves, B must have been there for around a month at best." Jaune theorized. "Maybe a little more."

"Which now begs the question of how he's going to come back online." Ren pointed out.

"Hey, this version of me is good with cars. I'm sure I'll figure something out." Yang smirked while giving a thumbs up.

"He's an alien robot, but whatever." Weiss muttered quietly as the viewing continued.


Getting into the car and sitting in the driver's seat, Yang grasped the steering wheel, testing the feeling of it before wiping away some dirt that was right below the windshield. Yang then inspected the rear view mirror before looking around the VW Beetle a bit, smirking.

Yang then noticed a key was still in the ignition, and decided to give it a test by turning it. Upon turning it, the engine started up, causing the radio to turn on and warble. However, unknown to Yang, the radio had started to give out an unknown signal, a signal that was shown to reach out far beyond Remnant the viewing zoomed out from the planet amongst overlapping radio chatter until the viewing zoomed out far enough to show a moon of the ringed planet Saturn.

Upon the moon of Saturn, a crashed Cybertronian escape pod was shown. Standing a bit away from the burning pod were two Decepticons. A red female Decepticon with a small antenna on the side of her head, her arms crossed behind her back, and blue male Decepticon with a faceplate for a mouth as he held the severed maroon arm of another Cybertronian. Respectively, these were Shatter and Dropkick.


"Who's the gruesome twosome?" Qrow asked.

"Given their disposition, and the severed arm the blue one is holding, I think it would be safe to assume that they are Decepticons." Ozpin pieces together from the visage of the Decepticon duo.

"You would be correct. The red female is Shatter, and her blue partner is Dropkick." Vortech nodded towards the headmaster. "As to what they do, try and think of them as Decepticon cops. Dropkick is the brutal cop, while Shatter is the not so much the good cop, but rather the cop that won't kill you just yet."

"Well, that doesn't sound threatening at all." Blake sarcastically said with a deadpan.

"Ugh. Those names sound cool too." Yang threw her head back with a groan.

"I'm just glad we're back to watching giant robots." Roman said as he placed his arms behind his head. "Watching the life of a depressed teen was getting too old, too fast."

"Well, screw you too, pal." Yang called back toward Roman with a bland look.


"Where is Optimus Prime?" Shatter questioned what was now revealed to be the grunting form of a now one-armed Cliffjumper as tried to crawl away from the two Decepticons. Dropkick tossing away Cliffjumper's severed arm. "He survived the fall of Cybertron. And no rebellion is truly dead until the leader is vanquished."


"Oh, no. They got to Cliffjumper." Ruby said with wide eyes while placing her hand to her mouth.

"They must have tracked a few of the Autobot escape pods when they escaped Cybertron." Ironwood theorized with a steeled look.

"And now they're trying to torture any and all information out of Cliffjumper." Pyrrha said with a glare to the Decepticon duo.

"Yes. But now we know that Optimus escaped Cybertron as well." Ozpin said, trying to shed some optimism onto the situation. "And from the sound of the things, the Decepticons know that so long as he is alive, Optimus presents a threat to their regime."

"And given the major butt Optimus was kicking earlier, it definitely backs up the Decepticons' worry." Ruby said with a smirk, before her smile fell. "But that still doesn't excuse that Cliffjumper's in danger."


Cliffjumper then turned over on his back with a grunt as he looked at Shatter and Dropkick.

"So where is he?" Shatter asked Cliffjumper with narrowed optics.

"My name is Cliffjumper. Lieutenant of the Autobot resistance." Cliffjumper told Shatter with a strained voice. "My safe return will be considered…"

However, before Cliffjumper could finish his sentence, he was immediately stabbed in the chest by Dropkick, who had activated his sedated arm blade, causing the maroon Autobot to grunt in pain.

"Wrong answer." Shatter told Cliffjumper in a sing-song voice as Cliffjumper groaned with the blade in his chest. "We know he's planning to establish a base. Tell us where it is and we'll let you live."


"He ain't gonna talk. He'll be dead either way." Qrow said in regards to Cliffjumper. "Cliffjumper ain't gonna fall for Shatter's smooth talk."

"On that, we can agree. But now begs the question of how the Decepticons found out about the plan for the base." Ironwood said with a serious look.

"They must have tortured the information out of another Autobot." Glynda theorized. "That, or the Autobot's had a leak."

"Either way, the good news is that the Decepticons don't yet know where the base will be." Oobleck stated. "That will bide the Autobots more time."


Breathing heavily, Cliffjumper spoke once more. "My name is Cliffjumper lieutenant…" he tried to say once more, only to groan in pain as Dropkick twisted the blade in his chest.


The students couldn't help but flinch and cringe at Dropkick twisting his blade in Cliffjumper's chest.

"Poor Cliffjumper." Nora said with a flinch.

"Well, he wants to play hero, so this is where it hit him." Roman said with a shrug.

Ironwood looked back to Roman with narrowed eyes. "It's called being loyal of his own volition. He knows it's death either way, and he won't betray the cause he believes in."

"I'm just saying that he could strike a deal." Roman replied back. "These two don't strike me as the fanatical type, so they probably wouldn't be against the prospect of him switching sides."

"Well, Cliffjumper believes in his cause." Ruby said as she looked back at Roman with an annoyed look. "Would you or Neo try and stab each other in the back?"

Roman was just about to reply to Ruby with a raised finger before he found himself at a lack of words. Roman then shared a look with Neo as his partner shrugged.

'She's got us there.' Neo signed to her boss.

With a proud smirk, Ruby turned back around with a hum as the viewing continued.


However, just then, music started to play on the radio as Cliffjumper had received a signal.

(~Sometimes you wanna go...~)

As the music played, the signal from the shutdown B-127 played through the warbling radio.

"No." Cliffjumper said in worry.

"That's B-127's signal." Shatter told Dropkick before looking down at Cliffjumper.

"Can you trace it?" Dropkick asked Shatter.

"Already did." Shatter answered her partner as she slowly walked behind Cliffjumper as Dropkick ripped his blade out from the Autobot's chest, causing Cliffjumper to reel forward with a groan.


"Are you kidding me?!" Yang slowly yelled out in annoyance.

"Shatter must be really efficient if she was able to trace B-127's signal that fast." Weiss said with a look of concern.

"It probably doesn't help that B-127 isn't activated in order to hide the signal from most frequencies." Blake added in equal worry.

"And just like that, the Decepticons are coming back to Remnant." Ruby nervously spoke as fear slowly grew inside her. "And B's still shut down."


"If you won't tell us where Prime is, perhaps your young friend will." Shatter told Cliffjumper as he glanced back at her.

"Never." Cliffjumper denied with a shake of his head.

"You're a brave warrior." Shatter told Cliffjumper as she leaned down towards him, grabbing the back of his head, forcing him to look at her. "You deserve a better death."

Shatter then scoffed as she then had Cliffjumper face up towards Dropkick. "But then again…"

With a grunt, Dropkick swiftly brought his blade down upon Cliffjumper, splitting the Autobot in two from the head down. The light in Cliffjumper's optics turned off as his two halves slowly split away and fell to the ground of the moon.


No words were spoken at the moment. No sound was uttered. The audience had just witnessed Cliffjumper cleaved vertically in two, and it was a disturbing sight to behold. Whether it was with frozen looks of shock, widened eyes, or in the case of Pyrrha, Weiss, and Ruby, covering their mouths with their hands as their pupils were dilated, everyone did not see that as the fate that would befall Cliffjumper.

"No…" Yang slowly shook her head, her pupils dilated in fear.

"Damn… I know I've seen Atlas bots get wrecked before, but with a sentient robot?" Qrow said with a disturbed look. "This just feels wrong and sadistic."

"This is not a way a soldier should go out." Ironwood said as his hands lightly shook in rage. "We may have not known him for long, but just from his mannerisms alone, Cliffjumper clearly deserved a better end than this."

"And yet, just as we've seen, Shatter and Dropkick thought differently." Glynda said as she scowled at the two Decepticons.

Even Roman and Neo had wide eyes at what they had just watched. They may have killed people before, but never in this brutal of a fashion.

Roman gulped a bit in nervousness as he thought to himself. "Yeah… probably a good idea to keep my comment about the bot being good at doing the splits, to myself."


Shatter couldn't help but chuckle at the sight before she looked towards Dropkick. "Set course for Remnant."

Shatter and Dropkick then looked towards the direction Remnant was in as the viewing quickly zoomed back onto the planet in question. The radio in B-127 warbled a bit more before stopping completely.

Yang gave the radio a strange look as she swatted away another bee. However, she then looked up in slight concern as more bees started to buzz towards her, prompting Yang to quickly exit the VW beetle and close the door in front of her.

And with that, the viewing screen went to black.


"Aw, wait, what?" Yang asked with wide eyes as she threw her hand outwards towards the screen. "That's it?! You're cutting it off there?!"

"Hey, I have a lot of universes to show all of you." Vortech told Yang with crossed arms. "We will come back to this one, eventually, but there's much more to see."

"Oh, please. You just want to blue ball us." Yang muttered to herself with crossed arms.

Vortech rolled his eyes at the blonde brawler before speaking once more. "So, how does everyone find this universe so far?"

With a sigh, Ironwood spoke. "It's definitely intriguing. But like I said, that was no way for a soldier to meet his end."

"Yeah. It was awesome, for the most part. But when it got to Cliffjumper's death…" Ruby said with a shiver. "He did not deserve that."

"As gruesome as Cliffjumper's death was, it should also be a reminder to you, children, that your enemies won't always hold the same moral compass as you." Ozpin sagely spoke to his students in a calm tone. "You must be all the more prepared in the event that you ever face an enemy that seeks nothing more than to tear you apart."

"Yeah. Message received, loud and clear." Jaune gave a small salute to Ozpin, still slightly shocked towards Cliffjumper's death.

"Well, I'm glad you all enjoyed it." Vortech said with a pleased nod. "Now, before I get the next viewing up and running, I have more guests I need to bring in. So take this as a chance for you to reflect about this universe while I go fetch the new audience members. What I have in store for the next viewing will be a little different."

And with that, Vortech got up from his throne and exited the theater, leaving the audience to converse with each other, or quietly think to themselves about the Transformers universe.

As Vortech walked around outside the theater, he could help but lightly chuckle to himself as he opened up another blue vortex to Remnant.

End chapter.


Author's notes:

Well, here it is. Part 1 of BumbleBee. Now, I do plan on showing them entire story of BumbleBee, but just so you guys aren't stuck with the same thing going for a few chapters, I'll be showing a different universe each time, eventually getting back to them as more are shown.

I do hope you all enjoyed this chapter. What took it so long for me to release later than I intended to was because of schoolwork, and that I wanted to make sure the reactions and conversations were as smooth and fluid as possible. Like with the Mandalorian, I focused more on Yang's reactions since this universe involves her. I don't remember if I stated this before, but an issue that most of these react docs have is that they don't usually have the personal input from the character they're focusing on, instead relying on what everyone thinks. This mainly happens with fics thatrevolve around Jaune, as they always bring in everyone else but Jaune himself.

Now, some things to note about the next chapter. More new arrivals. If you've read this story on Wattpad, you'll know who they are. If not, all I will say is that they are three people from Atlas. Another thing to note is that next chapter will be a trailers chapter, giving previews to universes that I will be focusing on for the time being, as in I will get back to those universes more so than others. And like with the new arrivals, if you have read this story on Wattpad, you'll know what the trailers will involve. And for those who haven't, I do hope you all will enjoy what I have planned.

Until then, I will see you all next time.
