Jade looked out at the rising sun. "You good?" a feminine voice asked. Turning, she saw it was yin. " Yes, it's just that I have the feeling that the endgame is near." The faunas clone said looking at her. "Endgame of what?" sapphire asked joining them as well as frost. "the conflict with the Bad Batch." Jade said as Yin frowned.

"Can we even call it a war?" she asked. "They kicked our asses. I'm pretty sure they'll steamroll the white fang here." Sapphire glanced at the white fang soldiers and made a choice. "If Bad Batch comes here, I'll aid them in any way I can." Frost looked at her in shock. "Are you insane? That's treason." She said. "So? The fang treats us as weapons not real people." The ruby clone retorted. "I'd rather die as a person than be discarded as nothing. Like that Bad Batch member said. We're not numbers. We're real people Frost."

And with that, sapphire walked off. "I agree. We may be clones of team RWBY, but we are people. I'm siding with Bad Batch." Yin said. "Adam hasn't called me by my name, no matter how many times I ask him to." Jade said. "I'll stand with Bad Batch." They looked to frost. The Weiss clone sighed. "I hate to admit it, but the living quarters here suck. I'll stand with Bad Batch." She said.

MEANWHILE AT THE DOCKS.

"Alright we're in." Hunter said. "White fang soldiers are everywhere jeez." Yang said. "What's the play sarge?" Outrider asked as he helped Ruby out of the container they had stowed away in. Hunter looked to Blake.

"Why are you looking at me?" The faunas asked. "Kill or capture? They're your race Blake." Hunter said. "We're following her orders now?" Crosshair said complaining. "Stuff it." Wrecker said bopping the sniper in the head. Neo giggled silently.

"I was only asking for her opinion crosshair." Hunter said deadpanning. Blake sighed. There's way too many to apprehend. However, there is one person besides merlot we should capture." She said. "Who?" Echo asked. "His name's Adam Taurus. I used to be his partner when I was still in the white fang." Blake said as neo tapped wrecker's arm

"What?" the gentle giant asked. Neo showed him a picture of a bull faunas. "This him." Wrecker said activating the scroll's hologram function. Blake nodded.

"Ok, any white fang you see, if hostile, kill on sight. The primary target is merlot and Adam taurus. They are to be taken alive." Hunter said. "What of our Clones?" yang asked. Hunter opened his mouth but was cut off by outrider. "Capture. They deserve a chance to live full lives." The heavy gunner said.

"then what are we waiting for? Lets go team RWBY and Bad Batch!" Ruby said pointing towards merlot's lab.

MEANWHILE

Yin was sitting at the security cameras, looking for breaches in the base. Her eyes widened at seeing team RWBY and Bad Batch at the docks. 'They're here.' She thought before remembering the mission her "father" assigned her and sapphire. Yin pulled out her scroll and texted the other clones.

"Okay, everyone remember their jobs?" Sapphire asked. "Yes, I will lead them to father." Frost said. "If they plan to apprehend Adam I will knock him out." Jade said. "I will lead some of them to father's "gift" while Yin secures a path for team RWBY to capture father."

Suddenly the alarm goes off. "Move." Sapphire said as they split off. Jade to Adam while Frost and sapphire moved to intercept team RWBY and Bad Batch.

ELSEWHERE

"There goes our element of surprise." Crosshair said as they rounded a corner only to be cut off by sapphire and Frost. "Don't shoot!" the Ruby clone said as Bad Batch raised their blasters. "Why?" Weiss asked. "We're here to help you." Sapphire said

"Father wanted yin and I to give Bad Batch something and will gladly surrender." Yang frowned "likely story." She said. "Where is he?" the two RWBY clones silently sighed. "Frost will lead you to him. I will lead bad batch to father's gift." Sapphire said.

"I'll go with Sapphire." Outrider said. "Outrider, you can't…" Yang started to say. "Yang, I can tell they're telling the truth." The heavy gunner began. "if it puts you at easy yang… Neo and I will go with him." Wrecker said. "I will as well." Echo said. Yang looked at them before setting her eyes on her boyfriend with a stern look.

"You have better come back." She said lifting his faceplate. "I will." Outrider said kissing her before handing her old reliable. "Don't lose this." That being done, sapphire set off in one direction with Outrider, Wrecker, Neo, and Echo following her while the rest followed Frost in a different direction.

"So, why help us?" Wrecker asked. "We came to an agreement. This isn't the life for us." Sapphire said. "Good choice." Outrider said as they came to a room. "Now the gift dr. merlot told you to give us. What is it?" Sapphire sighed

"It's related to your girlfriend, Yin's template." The ruby clone said. "Related how?" Wrecker asked his grip on his blaster tightening while Neo gripped hush. "Family." Sapphire said standing aside as the door opened letting the clone force 99 operatives and Neo in.

"She's in the frosted over stasis chamber." The ruby clone said. Outrider wiped some frost off the chamber and his eyes widened. "Wrecker, Echo get over here." He said taking his helmet off before continuing to wipe the frost off.

"What?" Echo said before seeing the person in the chamber. "is that…. Ruby's mother, Summer Rose?" Sapphire smiled. "Yes, it is summer rose, and no this isn't a clone." She said.

Outrider turned to face her. "Thank you. You don't know how much this will mean to yang, ruby, and their father." He said. the ruby clone blushed and nodded.

"Let's get her out of here." Outrider said as Echo tapped into the console. "Wrecker, keep watch." The gentle giant nodded.

MEANWHILE WITH HUNTER'S GROUP

"Father's lab is just up ahead." Frost said. "Why do you call Dr. Merlot father?" Ruby asked her partner's clone. "He made us four. So it's only natural that we call him father." The Weiss clone said. "Point taken." Ruby said.

"Wait… if merlot made you with the same rapid age serum as Hunter and the rest of bad batch then that means you'll be dead within forty years." Frost chuckled "Father developed an antidote to it." This made Blake's ears perk up before looking at hunter.

Frost took notice of this. "He was able to make one. Adam only wanted him to make enough for jade, Blake's clone. Father made some for all four of us then extra." She said

"extra?" Yang asked. "For bad batch to use if they wish to live like normal people, like you xiao long." The Weiss clone said. "Outrider isn't a clone." Ruby said. "I am well aware of that Ms. Rose." Frost said

Suddenly gunshots that vaguely sounded like yang's shotgun gauntlets and gambol shroud were heard were heard. "Yin! Jade!" Frost yelled before bolting.

"Move!" Hunter yelled. The group entered Merlot's lab and saw shattered glass and blood. Rounding the corner Frost gasped. There on the ground was Yin holding a badly wounded Merlot and Jade trying to stop the bleeding.

BACK WITH OUTRIDER'S GROUP

"We almost done here?" the ARF trooper asked. Almost… ah ha. Got it. Cryostasis shutting down." Echo said as the chamber hissed.

Outrider watched as Summer let out a loud gasp before moving out of the device stumbling. Outrider took hold of one arm. "Easy ma'am. You just came out of cryostasis." Echo said. "Who are you?" the elder rose asked. "the rescue team." Outrider said with dry humor. "Ozpin send you?" Summer asked while outrider slung an arm over his shoulder and drew a blaster pistol. "Kind of. Look, it's a long story and we don't have.." Echo began before his comms went off.

"Echo here." The cyborg clone said. "Guys, its hunter. Merlot's dead. Adam killed him. But he managed to give us a chance to have full lives." Hunter said "And what of Taurus?" Wrecker asked.

"He got away. I have the feeling that we haven't seen the last of him." Hunter said grimly "He also asked us to take in Team RWBY's clones. Now on you're end. What was it that merlot wanted to give us that was related to Ruby and Yang?" Outrider smirked. "Put them on." Hunter raised an eyebrow but conceded.

"What was it Outrider?" yang asked. Even though it wasn't a holo-projector she could tell that her boyfriend was smiling.

"We got her. We have summer rose. I repeat we have Ruby's mother." Yang's grip on old reliable faded as she and Ruby stood still. Too shocked to speak. "How?" Ruby managed to squeak out while sobbing. Yin answered the question "Father found her adrift off the island ten years ago and put her in a medicinal Cryo sleep to heal the damage. She's as healthy as an adult can be." The yang clone said with a grin before her template hugged her. "Thank you." The blonde brawler said.

Yin was shocked that her template was hugging her. The clone awkwardly returned it. "Let's get out of here." Hunter said.

BEACON

4 days later

Summer stirred as the sun rays hit her eyes. "Where am I?" she pondered. "you're in beacon's medical ward." A wise voice said. "Professor Ozpin." Summer said. "Good to see you alive summer. When Bad Batch radioed in that they had you in their care, I didn't believe them." The headmaster said. "Bad Batch?" Summer asked

"I'll arrange a meeting with them for you, but for now there's two people that want to meet you." Ozpin said as yang and Ruby entered the room. "Yang, Ruby my, look at how much you two have grown." The elder Rose said. "MOM!" the sisters yelled before hugging their mother tears of joy streaming down their cheeks.

Unaware to the mother and daughters, all of bad batch, RWBY clones included, were watching the tearful reunion. "You did good outrider." Hunter said patting his back. "No hunter, we did good." The heavy gunner said smiling.

MEANWHILE IN MERLOT'S ABANDONED LAB

A door slowly opened revealing a human-like Grimm arm. "It's our turn." A feminine voice said in a sing song tone as a lone golden eye shone in the darkness.

A/N: So sorry for the long wait, but here's the finale of the eclipse arc and a little teaser of the next big bad. Until that arc… we'll be seeing how the RWBY clones adjust to living in Beacon and an awkward meeting between Yin, and sapphire with Summer and Taiyang. As always read and review. Constructive criticism is allowed. That being said. peace.
