Volume 2, Episode 10: It's Terror Train Again
(Friday – Day 12)
YUKI, RWBY, and Peach all came out of the portal and Neo was more than relived to see them. A few gestures of her hands got Yuki up to speed.
"Two assholes at the front, and the trains mostly full of bodies. Got it." Yuki said cocking his gun. "We'll need to use stealth."
Everyone had readied themselves, but then the PA came on.
"Well well, what a fuckin' surprise. It's Yuki Azure, the Crossroad Killer. I am honored that you're here on the Pleasure Train of "My Dick". The name's Luke Valentine." Luke said tauntingly.
"How did they…" Blake said before Kelly pointed out the camera. "Fuck…"
[Mood Music Cue: Undertale – You Idiot]
"And now that you're here, I have a special surprise for you." Luke said as they noticed the bloodied corpses of the White Fang begin to stir.
Peach stepped back horrified to see the clearly dead bodies rise with glowing dull purple eyes. Yuki flinched asking Serena for intel. Serena blipped next to him looking nervous.
"It seems to be his semblance. Anyone he kills, he can control their corpses as zombie-like beings." Serena said as they got up.
She copied it to the database, but she knew Yuki would be quite unlikely to use it.
"Ok, we should be fine! Zombies are super slow! Not like they can fight how they were when they were alive." Ruby said only for a bullet to graze her aura-protected cheek. "…Never mind then."
"Aw don't worry, they won't hurt you ladies too bad. After all, I need a new toy to play with!" Luke said before laughing like a hyena.
"Ok, new plan. Long range only, don't get close." Yuki said dual wielding his pistols. "Sorry, Yang."
"It's fine. I'll just have to use my firearms." Yang said with an obvious pun. "While giving these zombies a good Yang bang."
"I'm going to ignore you just said that." Weiss said spinning Myrtenaster to lock in Fire Dust.
"Team RWBY, move…oh wait, are you supposed to say that, Yuki?" Ruby said switching Crescent Rose to its sniper rifle form.
"Yes, I am, but first, Serena, kick us up some asskicking music." Yuki said as more zombies came through the door.
[Mood Music Cues: Doom E1M1 Theme]
"Lock and load!" Yuki said opening fire with the others.
Headshots galore and blood spattered the wall as they charged through the horde while forcing them back. Serena was scanning the zombies to make sure their bites would not be infectious.
"Oh man, a gaggle of hot chicks fucking up some zombies to this sweet jam. It's like my dream porno…only they aren't naked." Jan said over the PA. "Oh well, I can still jerk off to this."
"Gross!" Weiss said disgusted. "I'm not some actress in your fantas…"
"Weiss, duck!" Ruby said pulling her by her ponytail downward to dodge a lunging zombie. "Sorry."
With one hand, Ruby shoot down that zombie as Weiss shook off Ruby's grip on her hair. Weiss would have found it privy to yell at Ruby but decided against it for the moment. Serena finished her scan before grabbing a zombie and smashing its face on the train wall.
"Ok, they are not infectious." Serena said as that same zombie got off. "But they keep coming."
"Everyone huddle around me!" Ivory said sheathing her swords. "I got an idea."
They complied with Weiss making a gripe that Ivory better not grope her.
"Grope what exactly?" Ivory said as Weiss pouted. "Light Shield!"
A wide shield of light covered them pushing the zombies away to leave them on pound on it. Weiss took this chance to punch Ivory on the shoulder to little effect.
"I'm supposed to feel that with your noodle arms?" Ivory teased as Weiss let out of a scream of frustration.
"We can't all be amazons with giant boobs!" Weiss snapped.
"Ivory, please stop making fun of Weiss's shortcomings." Lapis punned.
"Yang's got to you." Yuki said dryly.
"As funny as this is, we still got trouble." Peach said pointing to the zombies.
"Don't worry, I got this." Ivory said putting on a pair of sunglasses. "You'll need to cover your eyes."
Yuki whipped on a pair, Peach slipped on her goggles, Kelly simply shifted her eyes to that of a blind bat, and Lapis put on a pair. Yang hastily put on hers as Kelly made light construct shades over RWB's eyes.
"Now, Lámpsi Diádosi!" Ivory said as her shield emitted a bright shining light.
The zombies screeched for their eyes and Jan, who was watching, the tapes while jacking it off was blinded.
"Gah! That bitch! Now I can't see!" Jan said stumbling around.
"They say masturbation can cause you to go blind, brother." Luke said monitoring the train's route. "And we'll be crashing into Vale in about ten minutes. So, finish up or pull your pants."
"Fucking asshole!" Jan screeched.
"Such language is unbecoming." Luke sniped back.
[Mood Music Cues: Speedy Comet In Orbit - Super Mario Galaxy]
Jan fell to the ground stumbling to get his pants up or even find his dick. In the latter half of the train, Yuki had opened up the hatch and they all climbed to the roof of the train. Serena had alerted them that the train was about to hit Vale in less than ten minutes. Yuki and Ruby were determining their odds and it was not good.
"I hate to say it, but I don't think we can fast enough to get there in time to stop the train. Plus, Luke is an unknown variable. We'll have to settle for limiting the damage." Yuki said before turning to Neo. "Neo, do you remember which train car is holding the bombs."
Neo nodded.
"Then we split up. Neo, take Blake, Peach, Lapis, and Weiss to disable the bombs. The rest of us will ensure we can hold back the horde of zombies." Yuki said cracking his knuckles. "Now that we can punch them."
"All right!" Yang said whirling her arm around ready to throw down. "Let's make a beat 'em up out of them."
"Yuki, I have an update about one of the semblances. Particularly, Miss Fall's." Serena said urgently as she beamed the information into Yuki's head.
"The sad part is somehow out of her band of idiots, she's at least competent with her powers. And how does that tie into having fire powers?!" Yuki said flustered.
"Save the questions for later, we got less than six minutes." Peach said as Neo led her team forwards towards the bombs.
Using Cinder's semblance, he formed a hundred needles of superheated glass with Yang's semblance allowing them to harden faster. Yuki rained them down on the zombie horde as his half of the team dived in guns blazing.
-|5 Minutes Later|-
Now at the train car, Neo opened the hatch as she and those with her jumped down. Jan had finally regained his eyes only to see that the zombies were being dealt it and they had gotten to the bomb.
"Fuck, they got to the bomb! Bro, we need to speed this train up!" Jan yelled.
"We're going as fast as we…oh…apparently this train has turbo." Luke said activating it.
The button was labeled specifically to "Do Not Touch unless You Have Do, and even then just DON'T." Luke hesitated, but Jan did not. He pushed it and the train simply started to slow down at first.
"What's happening? Where's the speed?!" Jan yelled.
"Oh shit!" Serena said panicked. "Yuki, forget the zombies! Hang on to something!"
It was too late.
"Wha-AAAAHHHHHHHH!"

[Cues: Short Break in Toad Town - Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story]
"Man, what a beautiful day to be in Vale!" Yatsuhashi said excitedly. "But I don't get it by we were texted by some Serena woman to come to Vale right away."
"Is Serena Yuki's girlfriend?" Fox asked curiously.
"No, not exactly." Coco remarked.
Her time fooling around Ivory had caused her to overhear Yuki talking to Serena. Which was why she was the only who replied to her text. They were instructed to bring Glynda along as well.
"I don't get why Glynda had to come with us." Velvet said as Glynda sighed.
"Why do I have a bad feeling that something will go wrong." Glynda thought.
[Cues: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train]
Blaring rock music played as the train smashed through the wall moving like a rocket crashing through taking into the air before finally crashing into a fine china shop right next to the huntsmen and huntresses before the turbo sputtered out. All in a span of a minute before Grimm came pouring out of that hole causing everyone to run and scream in panic.
"What the f…" Coco said only for Glynda to yell, "Fucking hell! I swear to the Gods above, I will strangle who's responsible for this mess!"
A portal opened and out spilled Team YUKI, Peach, and Team RWBY. Neo had been sent off through another portal to the twins. All of them panting, Glynda wanted answers.
"Look, I'd be tempted to, but we should focus on the Grimm swarming the city." Yuki said unsheathing Frostbite. "And those two Salem worshipping cultists."
Before Glynda could ask, out came Luke and Jan, who with a snap of their fingers, got a Nevermore to mount before they started to address the crowd. Even the Grimm stopped much to Glynda's horror.
"Attention you, punk ass bitches of Vale, we bring good news from the beloved word of God." Jan said with a maddening grin. "The end for your lives is near and the future is…Grimm."
Luke held his face groaning at the terrible pun before taking the helm.
"We are the Valentine priests, and we bring you your doomsday! Unless you want to join our merry church." Luke said only to get a rock to hit him in the face thrown by Glynda. "Excuse me?"
"Are you the one responsible for all this damage…that I have to clean up?!" Glynda yelled.
"Yeah, you old bag. What are you going to do about it?" Jan jeered.
[Music Ends]
Normally, this would be a job for Glynda's semblance, but Glynda was stressed before belief. Her guilt over Yuki, her fractured friendship with Peach, having to be the one woman clean up crew, having to put up with Ozpin, and she feared becoming an old maid. She could normally brush off the insult, but the fact that piercing-riddled, wide eyed dipshit had the nerve to insult her and make a mess was too much. Glynda's face went blank as she spied as armored car and walked towards it. In what would scare everyone except Peach, Glynda lifted it up with her hands and hurled it at Jan sending him through a building.
"HOLY SHIT!" The lot of them said.
"That's the Glynda I know!" Peach said as Glynda proceeded to take her rage out on the Grimm.
The battle was on with the emergency sirens blaring and Luke swooped out intended to take Yuki's head off.

"What's going on?" Jaune asked as people scrambled as the blared.
Team JPNR was about to go off on their mission when the sirens blared, and Jaune was trying to keep things in his team calm. He got his scroll seeing a text from Ruby, and he realized he had to get down to Vale.
"Jaune, what's going on?" Ren asked.
"We're being invaded. Team RWBY's down there and needs our help. And Team YUKI too…" Jaune said cracking his knuckles.
"And how are we going to get there? All the Bullheads are taken." Pyrrha asked.
"I got an idea, but we'll need to hurry. Nora, I'll need your help especially for this." Jaune said with a dangerous grin on his face. "We'll need to wrangle us some Grimm."
"I like this idea already!" Nora said excitedly.
-R4S-
[Mood Music Cues: Drowning Pool Ft. Rob Zombie - The Man Without Fear]
Chaos. That perfectly described the streets of Vales as the huntsmen raged on against the Grimm. Ruby used her scythe to balance herself as land a set of kicks nailing several Beowolves, but using a bullet to shoot herself into air, and slice a Nevermore in two. Yang went Supernova punching and shoot Grimm while lighting them ablaze. Weiss uses her Glyphs to slow down the Grimm for Blake to slice through them with lessened difficulty. They were glad that their training under Team YUKI was helping them and that they were being backed up by Team CFVY and the others. If anything, Coco was glad for carrying the fire dust laced bullets for her minigun as combined with her semblance turned her into a rapid-fire rocket launcher causing explosions everywhere. Lapis was using tendrils of water to throw King Taijitus flying right out of Vale.
Jan? He was dealing with a very mad Goodwitch who was using her semblance to strangle him and slam him around.
"Want to make fun of my age again?!" Goodwitch said as Jan was laughing while getting a choked.
"Maybe, but I got a surprise of my own. To me, my slaves." Jan said snapping his fingers.
Out of the store and what from the dead were zombies under Jan's control which got those who had not seen this before to freeze. Glynda lost her focus and Jan fell to his feet.
"As you can see, bitch. I got connections. All the dead that you missed and it's going to be a real party." Jan said gleefully. "Because how you going to protect all those juicy innocent civilians from being killed by my horde and added to it. What's that, you can't? Because you're going to need a fucking army. And all I see are a ragtag band of misfits."
As zombies became to surround the place, Yuki sensed four familiar auras on their way and looked up to see that some backup.
[Mood Music Cues: Locke's Theme-FFVI OST]
"What the hell?!" Jan said seeing that Team JPNR was riding on a bruised Nevermore.
"Yeehaw!" Nora screamed using the feathers to force the Nevermore to divebomb into a group of Boarbatusk.
In the process, Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ren leapt off before Nora could do that making a traditional superhero landing.
"Ok, I've always wanted to do that!" Jaune said excitedly.
"Team JPNR. You rode on a Grimm to back us all up. I should scold you for your recklessness, but I'll let it go." Yuki said cracking his knuckles. "Isn't it right, Glynda?"
"Fine." Glynda said whipping his riding crop. "Only because it seems the cavalry has come."
Shortly after, Altesian airships swarmed the place opening fire on several of the Grimm. The doors opened to reveal Penny, Ironwood, and tons of soldiers. Yuki could spy that Cinder and her cronies had shown up as well. Simply put, Jan and Luke were surrounded, and Jan's zombie army was swiftly slaughtered.
[Music Ends]
"Well, this is a fine mess." Cinder said watching from a distance with her team.
Ironwood had shouted at the brothers to surrender and drop their weapons. However, Jan merely laughed at him.
"What? You think you scare me? Your dickless ass thinks we'll just give up." Jan said with a wide grin. "NOT!"
His body bursts into blue flames as his brother bursts into red flames all while they're laughing their heads off.
"Consider yourself lucky, I dealt with Team SICC. But that's just a fleeting moment of peace. Something's coming, Yuki. Something not even you nor that brat Rose can deal with. Our priest will have your heads." Luke said cordially. "A shame we could not bond over our murders, Crossroad Killer."
"By the way, I got a message for the blue bitch. Courtesy of Rotertod! Later, motherfuckers!" Jan said tossing a spherical pod to the ground.
With a flashing light, the brothers were gone leaving the pod and scorch marks where they stood. Lapis looked at pod shaking and shuddering. Now, for Kelly and Ivory, they never ever had seen Lapis show any sign of fear. But now, Lapis was looking ready to run. Yuki immediately asked Serena what it is, and the pod opened to project a message.
"So…Experiment 731, you thought you got rid of the ol' Doctor? You may have destroyed my body, but the computer you left in the lab lives with a backup of myself. Sadly, I didn't get the original's last memories, so I don't know how you escaped, or how your sister broke out of my AI, but I do know that I have one last trick up my sleeve. The one experiment you fear…Project Mirror Twin is complete."
The pod blew up and Lapis was left unresponsive.
"Project Mirror Twin? Who's Experiment 731?" Jaune said before Lapis feel to her knees shaking. "Professor Lazuli!"
Lapis clutched her heart sweating heavily filled with nothing but dread. She couldn't hear anything as her mind brought her to that hell of a lab. Where she was defenseless…and under the knife. Yuki came running up to her.
"Serena, I need a status report." Yuki remarked.
"[She's having a panic attack, Yuki. You'll need to ease her heart…she thinks she's back in the lab.]" Serena said telepathically.
She had long vanished the moment JPNR arrived, and Yuki had use Lapis's semblance on his closest ally to ease her heart.
"Lapis, please! You're not the lab…you need to come back to us please!" Yuki pleaded as she was still wigging out.
Her panic was attracting Grimm and Yuki knew he needed help.
"Ivory, Kelly! Cover me! I need to get Lapis out of here!" Yuki said scooping her up in his arms. "Glynda, cover up the hole!"
Before Yuki could form water wings to fly, he found himself paralyzed causing him to drop Lapis. He forced his head to the side to see his shadow was restricted. Deanna had caught him as she stepped out of the shadows.
"Well well, you're the silver eyed shit stain, we're looking for." Deanna said smugly. "I told you finding him would be easy."
Inque reformed herself from her liquid state and Stalker jumped down the building having all just arrived.
"I assume you cocksuckers are Team SICC." Yuki said as Inque had her guns on him.
"You are right to assume…" Inque said looking down at Lapis. "How pathetic."
[Cues: Undertale OST – You Idiot]
Before they could attack, the air began to get hot…practically scorching. Lapis looked up and all the color drained from her face. Everyone looked up getting their look at the abomination that Rotertod left behind. It was a person, who any semblance of humanity was left only in its shape of being female. She was composed of a bright inner magma body covered by bits dark black bedrock forming clothing. A halter top, which stops and splits above her midriff and has silver trimmings and has an opening in the middle, laced together with crossed metallic strings along with a thong. She also wore metallic boots, bracers of bedrock, and her flaming hair shimmered down her back. A twisted smile broke its face as the flames grew bright red.
