Chapter 11
Let's go back in time...again, and focus on Carolina and Team CFVY on their way to the colony of Biome while being accompany with Lysette and Team NYON to their destination. When they approach, they noticed that the moons and the planet itself are cube-shaped.
"What the hell?" Carolina says.
Lysette notices, "Are those...cubed-shaped worlds?"
Nyx says to everyone, "Let's just focus on the task ahead and worry about it later."
Yoko says, "Hey! I found a radio function on this thing! We can use it to communicate
Lysette shakes it off, "Right." she looks at Carolina, "Carolina, you and your team will head towards one of the moons where the colony might be under attack. My team and I are heading to meet with the other black box users on the other moon."
"Roger." Carolina nodded.
So they separate and headed to where they need to be. Carolina and Team CFVY headed straight for the colony as they fly down to the surface right before doing a super hero landing. If this was a video, it would be awesome. Awesome like what Grimaldus did in the Helsreach fan-animation...except nothing burning and crashing down for dynamic effect. But sadly, this is not an animation. Anyway, back to the story. The five look around and noticed that not only the moon is blocky, so is everything on the world they are on. Everything is all blocky and pixelated.
"Yikes!" Coco says right before cleaning her sunglasses to see if she is not hallucinating. "Does anyone else feel like they're in some retro video game?"
"Wow." Velvet looks around, "Things are...different."
Yatsu speaks, "It looks similar to the stuff Jaune uses for his own construction projects. He would have a field day with all this stuff."
Fox looks around, "I agree."
AN: Okay, before we continue, Fox now has the ability to see because of the implant and now has greater vision because of the black box. His eyes are still the same, but can still see. Although for those that figure out after Alexander the Great became immune to modern pathogens because of his implant, congrats! You're smarter than everyone else in the world! [Please Read Rant Below]
Carolina groans, "I feel like I'm in some fucking kids game." She turn to face Team CFVY, "Alright! We should find one of those bastards covered in black boxes that might be terrorizing this world and take them down!"
Team CFVY are actually looking at the sky behind Carolina's right while she talks.
"We have to...ensure... What the fuck are you guys looking at?"
Fox points at the direction the team is looking at, "That?"
Carolina turns around and sees a twister of iron blocks and other debris that look like parts used for housing along with people being smacked in the vortex.
"Let's go!" Carolina orders as she runs towards the direction of the twister and Team CFVY following.
They run through the blocky woods of the forest biome they are in as they now hear the screams of people in terror of what is happening. They run as fast as they could with Team CFVY using their aura to increase their speed and Carolina is using her equipment to run super fast. Even though Epsilon is no longer with her, she can manage her equipment without the need of an AI. As they approach, they see a village getting torn apart, block by block, by the mysterious twister that had appear as they see blocky people running for their lives along with Minecraft Villagers.
"The people are blocky too?!" Coco notices, "Must be a bitch to wear something round."
"Can it!" Carolina orders, "We got to find one of those bastards!"
Fox pointed to the left, "I think I found him."
The person they are looking for looks robotic with an exoskeleton similar to a Terminator yet has strange magnets on its shoulders while having a bulky frame, on its head that is shaped like an ox, its exoskeleton's color is similar to steel yet have a lighter tone to it. The thing even have black boxes on its body yet are patterned on its body in an organized way. This being looks at the new comers with its glowing red eyes. Threateningly, glowing red eyes. When it sees the new people, it snaps its fingers of its left hand that stopped the twister. The thing slammed its fists together that cause any form of iron such as iron blocks and ore and other metals to fly up into the air and float above.
"I AM MAGNA NEWTON." the thing spoke in an angry, mechanical voice that sounds like its yelling, "ALL BLACK BOX USERS WILL BE ELIMINATED BY MY HAND." He points at the five, "YOU SHALL BE TERMINATED!" He throws his arm to have the blocks being thrown at them.
Coco has her Gianduja transform into a minigun and fire at the incoming blocks. Yatsuhashi uses Fulcrum to slice through the blocks while Fox uses his Sharp Retribution to not only slight through, but sends back the ore blocks in order to explode on Magna. He sent three of them back at Magna as the ore blocks swell up before exploding. Once they got one foot close to Magna, they exploded. Unfortunately, the metal nuggets are stopped three inches close to Magna and never scratching him. Carolina fires two shots from her pistol from behind but are also stopped three inches close to the back of his head.
"The hell?" Carolina notices that her bullets didn't make contact.
Magna turns around to face Carolina. He takes the bullets in the air and chomps on them and then spits them out. With one snap of his finger, the metal nuggets are launched at Carolina. She dodges out of the way with super speed yet gets hit on the leg by one of the iron nuggets.
"Gah!" Carolina fell down and sees the wound on her leg. "Fuck!" she groans in pain, "Gotta activate the healing unit."
Fox, Coco and Yatsu managed to evade all the attacks being sent right at them. Coco then fires more bullets at Magna, but just like what happened to Carolina's bullets, they stopped within three inches close to Magna's metallic boy. Then the robotic bull takes those bullets into his hands and starts crunching them into a ball.
"Oh shit." Fox says.
"I hate this guy." Coco says with disdain.
Yatsu shouts, "TAKE COVER!"
Magna then tosses the ball of bullets right back at Team CFVY as the team takes cover behind some dirt blocks right before the bullets explode everywhere when it hit the ground.
"This is bad." Yatsuhashi admits that they are in trouble. "Any form of metal we throw at it, it stops it and tosses it right back."
Coco looks around, "Where's Velvet?"
Out of nowhere, Velvet jumps high in the air with a duplicate of Penny's weapon and fire its lasers.
Magna laughs, "HA! ANY FORM OF ATTACK IS- AAHH!" Velvet took a shot right at Magna's right hand and left a hole. Magna looked at the damage and realizes, "ENERGY WEAPONRY? I SEE NOW."
Carolina notices as she says, "Now I get it." She says to the rest of Team CFVY, "Switched to energy weapons! Energy weapons are his weakness!"
Coco stows her Gianduja away and pulls out a gatling laser from Fallout and fires. Magna takes some serious damage to his right arm. The whole thing is completely seared and covered in holes. Velvet uses Anesidora again and brings out a copy of Magnhild and fires a multitude of energy-based grenades that explode. Magna gets pissed.
"YOU DARE TO ATTACK ME WITH ENERGY WEAPONRY!? METAL ON METAL COMBAT IS A MORE HONORABLE FIGHT THAN YOUR ENERGY SHITS!"
Yatuhashi charges with dual energy swords from Halo and chops his arm off. Magna's arm fell on the ground, yet still manage to manipulate the metal of the energy blades. However, Fox jumps and stabs Magna's back with a green lightsaber from Star Wars. Magna yanks Fox off his back and throws him. Velvet has her Anesidora print out Crescent Rose and fires three shots. Two got onto his other arm that Magna used to shield himself while another took off his horn. Carolina is back in the game and is armed with a Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle (or Halo 5 Beam Rifle) and shot off the other horn right before aiming for his head. The last shot pierced right though his metal head and right through its mechanical brain. The red eyes of this robotic minotaur flickered and faded to black as he falls down. What happened next is that Magna exploded and all of his black boxes scatter in the area. Approximately 50,000 have spread across a three mile radius.
"That's that." Carolina casually walks towards Team CFVY. "The threat has been eliminated."
"I thought that fire guy was dangerous." Fox says as he puts the lightsaber away. He looks at Velvet, "Glad that you figured out that things weakness."
"I just did what I could." Velvet says, yet doesn't seem happy. A bit more regretful. "I couldn't decide on what weapon to use and I was a bit delayed."
Coco place her hand on Velvet's right shoulder. "Hey, hey! The battle is over. You did great."
"Slow and steady wins the race." Yatsu says old words of wisdom.
Carolina puts her weapon in her black box, "Not exactly, but I'll let it slide for once."
One of the townsfolk comes up, "You saved our lives! Thank you!"
Some of the townsfolk come out of hiding and cheer for Team CFVY and Carolina's victory. "HUZZAH!" They all approach and thank their new heroes. Some throw up lavender, tulips of different colors, hydrangeas and other such flowers that are from the Minecraft mod: Biomes O' Plenty. In fact, Biome is named after the mod. Yet above one of the spruce trees, Petra is looking over and saw what had happen. She has taken a great interest in this new group that had appear. Yet she realizes something as she look at her left arm. They have the black boxes like her.
Over at Overworld, Team NYON and Lysette made their way to this moon to find out about the black box users that are leading the people of this moon and the colonies surrounding the cube-shaped gas giant. They all noticed that even the environments and everything else is cube-like and blocky as they fly over it.
"WOW!" Yoko sounds excited, "IT LOOKS LIKE A RETRO VIDEO GAME!"
Orion says to Yoko with a slight chuckle, "Chill out, Yoko. Save the excitement for when the fighting starts when any more of those hunters come here."
"Okay!"
Nero feels like he's gonna gag, "Blech! It looked like a computer threw-up and someone used the vomit for painting."
Nyx shakes his head, "Don't be so harsh! People live here."
"I bet the chicks are ugly too."
Nyx shakes his head in disappointment before he looks at Lysette, "Hey! Lysette! What do you think!?"
Lysette responds, "Let's focus on the mission at hand."
As they approach, they see a town straight ahead along with a massive tower that seem to be made of polished andersite and gold blocks. They can even see the colorful lights coming from the beacons.
"Whooooaaa!" Yoko's eyes sparkle when seeing the impressive town. "THAT'S AMAZING!"
Nero smiles, "Okay, I'll admit. That is impressive."
Orion squint his eyes to see better, "Is that...are those...golden blocks?"
"Must've cost a fortune to build that!" Nero says in shock, "I wanna be the richest guy in this town!"
"Cut the chatter!" Lysette orders, "Let's head there."
As they fly overhead, they caught the eyes of the citizens down below. They all looked up and see the mysterious visitors. All the citizens of Beacontown approach towards the Order of the Stone's Tower to see what is happening. The five land at the front doorsteps with Nero noticing the large crowd of people that has gathered. He scan the crowd and noticed all the people are just as blocky as their environment.
Nero leaned over and whisper to Nyx, "Like I said. Ugly chicks."
Nyx just elbowed him in the ribs.
"Oof!"
Yoko looks around, "Ooo... The people are retro looking too."
The doors open to reveal Jesse. But not just one, but twelve Jesse's from Minecraft: Story Mode's selection. (To make things easier, look at the different Jesse's there are on story mode's wikia site. Jesse M1, which is male Jesse #1, refers to the Jesse in the top row if you look at the picture. Then we got number two and the rest at the bottom. Hope this is good enough. Back to the story!) They all exit out of the building to see their new visitors.
"Who are they?" Jesse F1 whispers to Jesse M5 and F3.
"Don't know." M5 whispers back, "But they have black boxes like us. Just like the others that aren't...you know, like us."
F3 whispers, "They must be new."
F4 joins in the whispering, "Do you think that they're responsible for our black boxes lighting up?"
M5 says, "Possibly. But best that we ask first."
M1 steps forward, "Greetings, I am Jesse M1."
"M1?" Nyx asks.
"M1 means Male 1. We're all name Jesse so giving each other names like that makes things a little easier."
"I see." Lysette stands in a similar style to Winter, "That makes things a bit more efficient. Shall we come inside? We have a situation that involves all black box holders." Lysette shows the black box on her left arm to show that she means business.
The twelve Jesses look at each other and nod.
Jesse F6 says, "Then we have much to discuss."
They all head inside while the crowd murmur to themselves about what is going on.
Everyone made it to the top of the tower via some sort of elevator that uses some sort of mod that involves gears. They made their way up to the top with Nero and Yoko notice the view.
"Whooo-ooa." Both of them are impressed by the view outside.
"Now this is style!" Nero likes the view from the tower, but clears his throat, "You know? For a world made of cubes and blocks."
In the center of the room, there is a table that is supposed to be similar to the Round Table, but it's all blocky like everything else. They all gather around and take their seats.
Jesse M1 remains standing, "Now then, care to tell us the situation."
Lysette explains somethings that are going on along with Team NYON. The news that all the Jesses receive has them quite troubled.
After hearing what is happening, Jesse M1 asks the eleven, "All those in favor of helping them finding the arkships, stand up."
All eleven other Jesses stand up from their seats and the vote was unanimous.
"Then we are in agreement. We must tell the others as well about the situation."
Before they move on, Ozpin contacted Lysette and everyone else, "This is Ozpin, is everyone else doing alright?"
Lysette stands up, "Excuse me." and leaves away from the group.
All the Jesses look at each other as Jesse F2 says, "I didn't know we can use our black boxes like that."
They're all surprised to learn the new information.
"Yep!" Yoko points at herself, "And I'm the one that discovered it!"
Lysette reports, "Lysette reporting. The local leaders agreed to help us look for the ship."
"This is Raven. We finished evacuating the colony and heading towards Akua."
"Dr. Oobleck reporting in. I've made contact with Dr. Washu and learned more about Protoss technology. The Protoss were an amazing race. They seem to-"
Clover interrupts, "We'll discuss about them later, Doc. Let's focus on the task at hand."
Ozpin reports, "We ran into another one of the Black Box Hunters and learned more about them. Turns out that if we kill them, the sun's lifespan will get shorter so we may need to accelerate our time schedule. We don't have much time to explain, but we need those ships prime and ready when the Black Box Hunters are all dead. Understood?"
Everyone on the radio say in unison, "Understood./Understood."
Lysette heads back to the others, "Situation has become more dire. We need to find one of these ships now."
AN: About that rant I mentioned, it is because there are a lot of stupid people that keep on getting infected even though there are supposed to be following safety procedures to prevent more infections. Even worse when some group is protesting by not wearing masks in public. I sear, PEOPLE ARE FUCKING IDIOTS! IF YOU ARE SICK, STAY THE FUCK HOME! IF YOU'RE GOING OUT IN PUBLIC, WEAR A FUCKING MASK AND KEEP SANITIZER WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES! I SWEAR PEOPLE IN THIS DAY-IN-AGE ARE BEING FUCKING MORONS! I HOPE THEY FUCKING DIE FROM COVID SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ANYMORE IDIOCY! THAT'S DARWINISM BITCHES! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN FUCK YOU! WHILE I'M AT IT, OUTSOURCING SHOULD BE FUCKING OUTLAWED BECAUSE THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE OF UNEMPLOYMENT THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGING THE FUCKING ECONOMY! EVEN WORSE WHEN PRICES OF GOOD WILL GO UP AND NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEM ALONG WITH FUCKING SECURITY RISKS TO EVERYONE'S INFORMATION! IF I WANT SOMEONE TO TALK TO WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM, I WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK FUCKING ENGLISH! NOT CHINESE, NOT INDIAN (which is actually Hindi), FUCKING ENGLISH YOU SHITMUNCHERS!
I'm sorry everyone. Things that people do that actually causes more problems. I remember a report that people went to the beach in Florida that caused over 10,000 people to become infected in a day. Nearly as much we got hear in Utah one time with 950 or something like that. So I do apologize for venting my frustrations out like this. Plus my boss says that the company will be outsourcing in two months. Now I have to look for a new job and I was so close to save up for a tiny house I was planning on building in a plot of my own land. Things are being set-back to a few years if I cannot find a good job that pays just as well. Maybe I could try working at a bank. An American-based bank with no offshoring. Hopefully it will pay well and hopefully I can climb the ranks as quickly as I can. Once again, I'm sorry for ranting like that and I do apologize for anyone who caught the corona...by mistake and not done on purpose.
Anyway, stay safe, stay healthy and good luck.
