Chapter 29
Everyone has returned from their expeditions safely and...mostly unharmed. Ruby and her made it back with all the pods from the ship and some information they managed to scrap up.
Yang says on the radio, "This is Yang Xiao Long of Shuttle 01 returning from our mission, request permission to dock."
A male's voice is heard, "Permission granted, and welcome home."
Ruby says to Yang, "Now you sound like an Atlesian pilot."
"Well, best to do things by the book for the time being."
Ruby looks at the Spearhead of Hope with a look of worry, "Just hope we can find our new home. Somewhere out there."
The shuttle made it to the hangars of the Spearhead of Hope as it lands. Everyone came out and started unloading the pods and have them hook onto an energy source to prevent them from dying.
Yet Qrow notices something. "Are there more pods than what we discovered? Because those ones look different." he pointed out.
Team RWBY notices the new pods as well and they are different.
"Yeah." Blake noticed, "They must be from the other ship."
"You got that right." Grif approaches. "We also ran into some trouble while we were on that ship as well."
"What happened?" Weiss asks.
"I'll tell you about it later. Right now, I need to see Church."
Church zooms up, "Yeah, what's up?"
Grif asks Alpha Church, "Did you get the data?"
"Mostly." he replies, "Some of the data was corrupted. How was your day?"
"Mostly full of dinosaurs and seeing Sarge taking on a T-Rex."
"I got footage of Tucker getting raped by an anime ogre girl."
Grif remains silent for a few moments before saying, "Can I get a copy?"
"Sure. But I need to meet with the other AI's to compile and decrypt and uncorrupt some data."
"Speaking of AI's..."
Grif takes Church to a lab where Church went, "The fuck?"
There are five AI's that are now present in the ship. The first one is black and purple with glowing orange-yellow eyes. The second one looks female with levitating twin pigtails, an hourglass figure, has an icy blue coloration and pink eyes. The third is black and red with bright yellow eyes with flame-like top. The fourth seems to be more muscular with an orange and brown coloration and glowing blue eyes. And the fifth is light-green and green with a curly top head and glowing red eyes.
"Hi there, I'm Ai!" says the black and purple one in an excited tone. "I am an Ignis! Sorta like an AI but different."
The red one introduces himself, "And I am Flame. F as in Firing Hero! L as in-"
"No one cares!" says Ai.
"HEY!"
The blue one introduces herself in a mature, caring voice. "I am Aqua." she does a respectful bow, "It is nice to meet you."
The orange one talks in a more slow, monotone voice, "I am Earth. Hello."
Then the green one starts to introduce himself and talking at high speeds, "Greetings! I am Windy! Not Rudy, not Buddy, not Judy, Windy!"
Ai then says, "And that's all of us!"
Church looks at Grif, "Where the hell did these guys come from?"
Grif responds, "They came from that pod along with eight middle-school brats that Washu and Magnus unlocked."
"Oka-"
"And then some monster came in and challenged the kids for Magnus' soul, the kids win at some card game and Magnus is staying here for good."
Church just stares at Grif, "... So a typical Friday then?"
"Not my idea of a Friday, but yeah."
Church then speaks to Ai, "So, Ai, right?"
"Yeah?"
"How's your processing speed? Because-"
"You guys got some data that needs decoding, right?"
"Y-Yeah." Church was caught off guard. "Do you think you and your friends can help?"
"Sure." Ai nods in agreement.
"Good. Then let's find our new home then."
In a bedroom, Ruby falls back first onto her bed and give a tiring sigh.
"That was...interesting." Ruby says about their mission.
Yang is laying on her belly on the next bed, "Cha. A ship full of female rapists and many who are normal yet most have been wiped out."
Weiss is lying on her bed above Ruby's, "Just hope the data we got can at least give us some idea."
Blake is sitting on her bed above Yang's and looking over the list of people on her new scroll. She scrolls down the list of names and see who they are. Upon them, she came across a few people of interest.
"This is interesting." Blake says.
Yang pops her head up, "What's up?"
"Found a scientist that makes children's toys and found a list of bizarre inventions."
Yang raises her hand, "Can I see?"
Blake gives the scroll to Yang as she checks over.
"Stu Pickles, huh? Inventions: Anti-gravity playpen - failed, the leaf-lefter - failed, the Reptar wagon - success, bubble-rama 3000 - failed. So we have a scientist and inventor that is dedicating his talent to making kids toys. Let's see... Wife: Didi Pickles. Children: 2. Thomas "Tommy" Pickles...one-year-old? Dylan "Dil" Pickles - 4 months old?! There are families on that ship!?"
Weiss gets off her bed and leans over to see, "What?!" She is just as shocked as Yang.
Blake says, "I thought we went over that already."
Weiss looks at Blake, "Yeah, but infants?! Infants on a ship with female rapists meant for populating a planet!"
"But at least they were heading towards a different planet." Ruby states. "Light-years away from whatever world they are supposed to go."
A knock is heard from outside the door. The door opens to reveal Summer Rose holding a tray of cookies and four glasses of milk.
"Sorry to interrupt your rest." she says, "But anybody interested in some cookies and milk?"
"Yay!" Ruby cheers, "There's always time for that!" She then speeds over, take some cookies and a glass of milk with red hearts for eyes.
"What are you four talking about?" Summer asks as Ruby starts to enjoy her treat.
Blake takes her scroll back, "Checking over a list of people from the ship. I was checking on a list of scientist, but I have to organize the list of passengers that were there. I check on a list of scientist and found one name that says he has a family aboard and used his talents to make children toys."
Yang and Weiss took a glass of milk and some cookies as Summer peeks over.
"There is also two kids that are listed as scientists."
"What?!" Blake checks before taking a glass. She reads, "Dexter. Last name: unknown. Age: 8? IQ of 250. A genius inventor that has made many creative and strange machines in secret but many destroyed by his older sister, Dee Dee. However, his ego tends to cloud his judgment." She checks the next one, "James 'Jimmy' Isaac Neutron. Age: 10. IQ of 210. A genius inventor and scientist yet the majority of his work sometimes malfunction, self-destruct, or tend to take on lives of their own that cause major problems or cause unforeseen effects."
Weiss talks with a bit of cookie crumbs on her lips, "Child scientists?" then drinks her milk.
Ruby mumbles because she has a mouth full of cookies that no one can understand.
Everyone look at her and couldn't figure out what she said.
Summer says, "Ruby, don't eat and talk at the same time."
Ruby drinks some milk to wash down her cookies. "Sorry. I said, What kind of world or worlds are those kids from?"
Yang shrugs, "Don't know."
"What about their families? Did they survived?"
Blake checks again and goes, "Yeah, they're alive."
"That's good news." Summer says.
Weiss asks, "Any other scientists on that ship we should know about?"
In another bedroom, Jaune is lying on his bed and feeling exhausted.
"That was too much." Jaune says in a tired groan.
Pyrrha lying on a bed above him, "You can say that." She is just as exhausted as he is. "If it wasn't for your semblance, I don't want to imagine what would've happen when that ship crashes into that gas giant."
"With us in it."
Ren is sitting on his bed in a meditative position, "We should always count our blessings for each struggle we survived against. For every trial we survive, it makes us stronger and wiser."
Nora is on her bed and is already sleeping with a snot bubble while snoring.
Ren asks, "Does anyone want my stamina remedy?"
Jaune says, "We're good. Just want some rest."
Pyrrha giggles a little, "Maybe another time."
In a virtual reality room, Sarge is working on a new vehicle in holographic form. Similar to the one he had on Valhalla that Lopez built. Speaking of, Lopez and Santos are on the other end of the room and watch him work.
Santos asks Lopez, "The hell is me making?"
"Don't know." Lopez responds, "Probably something stupid again. Like always."
Santos looks at the room, "You said you built this?"
"Si. And I wish my talents weren't wasted on such-" Lopez stops and look at Sarge for a second before looking back at Santos. "Switch to different languages."
Both robots switch their language settings.
Lopez speaks, "Tales bolsas de carne patéticas que son incluso más mierda que la mierda que comen en lugar de excretar."
Translation: "Such pathetic meatbags that are even shittier than the shit they eat rather then excrete."
"Eu concordo completamente." Santos agrees. "São merdas completas e totais que realmente precisam ser extintas."
Translation: "I completely agree. They are complete and total shitbags that really need to go extinct."
"Tal vez podamos hacer nuestra propia nación donde los robots puedan estar libres de idiotas como él. Idiotas que están tan llenos de sí mismos que un burro sería mejor líder del Ejército Rojo que ellos."
Translation: "Maybe we can make our own nation where robots can be free from idiots like him. Idiots that are so full of themselves that a donkey would make a better leader of the Red Army than them."
"Sem falar que Sarge é um velho filho da puta senil que deveria ser abatido como um triste cavalo de guerra que ele é."
Translation: "Not to mention that Sarge is a senile old fucker that should be put down like a sad war horse he is."
"Apuesto a que lo más cerca que puede estar del infierno es una casa de retiro para imbéciles como él."
Translation: "I bet the closest he can get to hell is a retirement home for morons like him."
"Ahem!" Sarge stands between the two as they both noticed. Sarge says, "Tal vez ustedes dos deberían ser reprogramados para ser muñecos objetivo que son incluso más tontos que Grif." Sarge spoke Spanish.
Translation: "Perhaps you two should be reprogrammed to be target dummies that are even dumber than Grif."
The two robots go, "¡Mierda!/Ah foda-se!"
Translation: "Oh fuck!"
The two of them run around in circles in the room as Sarge fires his shotgun yet cannot hit them.
"Run for your artificial life!" Lopez shouts.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Santos yells.
Sarge shouts in Portuguese, "VOLTE AQUI PARA QUE EU POSSA FAZER UM REPARO ADEQUADO COM MINHA ESPINGARDA!"
Translation: "COME BACK HERE SO I CAN GIVE YOU A PROPER REPAIR WITH MY SHOTGUN!"
Lopez asks while running, "SINCE WHEN DID HE BECAME MULTI-LINGUAL!"
Close to the exit, Adam watches with amusement as Sarge tries to murder his robots. He chuckles slightly at the sight.
Sarge keeps yelling, "HOLD STILL! THIS IS FOR YEARS OF SAYING INSULTS BEHIND MY BACK!"
"BUT I'VE ONLY BEEN ALIVE FOR A FEW MONTHS!" Santos corrects.
Sienna approaches, "Found something entertaining?"
"Seeing an idiot human running around like a moron." he replies without looking away from the hilarity. "Nice to see a moronic human being the fool that he is. Although, some of his pride was cut down after what happened at that ship."
Sienna watches as she smiles yet asks, "How the hell did humans like that survived?"
"I believe that is the twenty-seventh time you asked that. And again, I have no idea. But the biggest question is: How come idiocy survives while the smart ones are the first to go?"
"Same answer."
"Exactly."
In the cyberspace of the Spearhead of Hope, Church has the fragments and Ignis trying to decipher the data from both ships with a few Washu crab programs providing assistance as they transfer information to the others.
Church looks over some of the data, "Okay, so if I try to put this data here." he places a series of code onto the screen. "Then we could try this." he then press some buttons and a screen that shows the map of the galaxy appears but part of it is corrupted. "Damn. But it looks like we got fifty percent of the map now."
Flame leans over, "Pretty impressive." He compliments.
Church looks at Flame, "Thanks. But I only got half the map with a few routes where the ships are from."
Flame tries to help, "Let me handle this part here." Flame tries to use his Ignis powers to undo some of the corruption of the data. He move his hands, "Let me try to move this. Try to rebuild some of that. A bit of this and that. I think I got it."
Delta appears, "Some parts of your reconstruction are a bit lacking. Allow me to provide."
Ai appears, "Hold on now. I wanna try."
Flame says, "Not now, Ai. We're busy."
Ai shoves Flame onto the map, "Let me try!"
Flame then punches Ai and slam him onto the map, "Not now!"
Delta tries to stop them but ends up getting beaten along with Church with the map getting pixelated and then reformed.
Aqua says, "That's enough!"
Church, Ai and Flame point at each other, "HE STARTED IT!"
"Compilation and data repair complete." Delta says.
"HUH?" the three went.
They look at the map and see both routes leading back to their origin.
"Holy shit." Church says, "Who knew that beating each other up would fix it."
Earth speaks, "Fighting is not good. Best not to fight each other."
Church says as he looks at Earth, "That is a bit easier said than done with the people I was forced to work with."
"Oh really?" Windy has taken an interest, "Perhaps you can tell us more."
"But we should tell the others and head there ASAP!"
