Chp. 48: Making Ready

Rodeway Inn

At night in a hotel, Teams RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY, along with Qrow, Ilia, Amber, and Cade were inside a hotel room watching and flipping through news channels. The television showed a video feed of Grimm roaming around in a city.

"Attacks all over the world had taken place by small groups of terrorists, along with what appears to be robots and black monstrous creatures with bone-like armored structures on them," a reporter said.

Qrow switches the television to another news channel. The television now showed live footage of ambulances and police cruisers.

"The death toll globally is estimated to be over 2.8 million, but those numbers are still being counted as we speak," another reporter said.

Everyone in the room watched in horror as they listened in to how many had been killed.

"All those people..." Weiss trailed off.

Qrow switches to another news channel, now showing a couple of Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter jets flying through the sky.

"The U.S. military has assumed Condition Delta, a threat level that hasn't been issued since the 9/11 attacks. Militaries around the world are also on high alert. All airports around the world have been shut down until further notice," a news anchor said.

"The whole world on high alert," Fox said.

"Earth has never had any experience with Grimm attacks. Their reactions are justified," Yatsuhashi said.

Qrow once again changed the TV to another news channel, as it showed live footage of several American soldiers escorting three White Fang soldiers in handcuffs to an armored truck.

"Although the attacks are now under control,the creature have been killed, the robots have been destroyed, and some of the terrorists are now in custody, most of the terrorist groups managed to escape undetected. Also upon closer inspection, the terrorists who have been caught appear to have animal appendages on them that are shockingly confirmed to be real," a reporter said.

Blake, Ilia, and Velvet all had saddened looks on their faces, realizing that this was the Faunus' official first public appearance on Earth and had greeted Earth with hostility. They feared that The White Fang's aid in the attacks would negatively affect Earth's views on the Faunus. Qrow sighed as he shuts off the television.

"What are we gonna do?" Yang asked.

"We'll meet up with Keaton tomorrow morning, along with the others. but we might need to try and keep a low profile," Qrow answered.

"Why is that, Uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby, civilians had been filming us fighting the Grimm and some of Doctor Merlot's androids on their devices," Weiss answered.

"People are going to be more than likely coming up to us asking questions. Especially those who are fans of our show," Ren added.

"I can already imagine the autographs that they are going to ask from us," Pyrrha said in annoyance.

"Keaton and his band of soldiers said that they would get some clothes for us," Qrow said before turning his head to RWBY and JNPR. "You guys on the other hand, still have your Earthly attires."

"Thankfully they let us go back to Beacon to get our stuff from our dorm rooms," Weiss said.

"I just hope the clothes that Keaton would get for us would be fashionable," Coco said.

"Of course you would think that, Coco," Velvet said.

"Maybe they'll tour us around a few places if we have the time," Nora said.

"Maybe but right now it's starting to get late," Amber said.

"I'll keep a lookout," Cade said.

"Like always," Amber said with an eye roll.

"Get some sleep, kids. See you in the morning," Qrow said.

"Goodnight, Uncle Qrow," Ruby said.

Everyone except for Qrow all exited out of the hotel room and all split off to their hotel rooms. As soon as Jaune and Pyrrha walk into their hotel room, Pyrrha sprints into the bathroom. Jaune grew a confused look and then turned his head to one of the beds and saw something on it. He sees a folded red cape and mask with a sticky note on it. Jaune grabs the note and looks into it.

"Take off the armor and put this on. I have a surprise for you. Love Pyrrha," Jaune read the note out loud.

Jaune was hesitant, but doing what the note says,, Jaune strips the armor off of him and then puts on the mask and cape. Jaune walks up to the bathroom door and knocks on it.

"Um, Pyrrha what are you doing?" he asked.

"I am not this Pyrrha you speak of," Pyrrha replied.

The door opened and what Jaune saw next made his eyes widen in shock and face turn red. Pyrrha was not wearing her normal attire. She was now wearing red revealing lingerie, a red cape and red goggles.

"I am the Red Huntress!" Pyrrha said with confidence.

"P-P-Pyrrha, what is this? W-W-What are you wearing?" Jaune asked.

"Well..." Pyrrha drops her confidence and rubs on her arm. "Remember when we... did it back at Britney's place?"

"When Rebecca got us drunk? Yes," Jaune answered.

"Well neither of us couldn't remember anything of what we did that night. So want us to... do it again but this time... remember. And... add a little... foreplay," Pyrrha hesitatingly explained as she pulled out a box of condoms while her face turned red.

Jaune stares at Pyrrha for a moment as she looks down in embarrassment and disappointment. He then gave an intense glare at her.

"You villainous fiend," he said in a raspy voice.

"Jaune?" Pyrrha asked, looking up at him.

"I am not Jaune. I am the HuntsMan!" Jaune proclaimed.

He sweeped Pyrrha off her feet and carried her to one of the beds and dropped her onto it. Jaune then climbs onto the bed and pins down Pyrrha beneath him.

"I've got you right where I want you, Red Huntress!" Jaune said.

"You certainly do, HuntsMan," Pyrrha said.

"I'm gonna make sure you pay for your dirty deeds," Jaune said with a smile.

"Then punish me, HuntsMan. I've been a bad, bad villain," Pyrrha said as she moved her hand below Jaunes belt.

"You dirty girl," Jaune said.

Jaune and Pyrrha both began roughly kissing as Jaune slowly moved his hand down straight into Pyrrha's panties. Meanwhile in the next hotel room over, Nora leaned her head against the wall, listening in on Jaune and Pyrrha. Nora smirks as she shifts her eyes at Ren who was almost asleep in one of the beds, back turned facing her. She took out a box of condoms as she widened her smile.

"Thank you, Pyrrha," Nora thought.

Nora tosses the box at Ren's head, making him turn over. He widened his eyes upon seeing the box.

"Oh Renny," Nora said as Ren looked up at her. "Mama's hungry."

"Will get you some pancakes in the morning, Nora," Ren said , realizing what Nora was thinking.

"For once, I'm not in a mood for pancakes," Nora said.

She began stripping off her clothes until she was shown wearing a pink bra and pink poke-a-dot panties. She climbed onto Ren's bed and slowly crawled towards Ren.

"I'm hungry, Ren. Hungry for that D," Nora said.

Nora moved her hand beneath Ren's blanket and grasped right below his belt.

"Uh... Nora... your hand is on my-" Ren gets cut off.

"Shhhhh... Just let it happen, Lie Ren," Nora said.

Nora leans in and begins kissing Ren who soon started kissing her back. Ren moves his hands behind Nora's back and unhooks her bra. Ren flips Nora to the side and then pins himself on top of Nora. They both stopped kissing.

"You better not hold back. Be as rough as you want," Nora said.

They both proceed to kiss again as Ren begins to strip his clothes off while Nora removes her bra off of herself.


McFoley Residence

Meanwhile at the McFoley household, Teams GRMA and CFDT were watching the news on the television.

"Shit," Robert cursed.

"You can say that again," Rebecca said.

"I can't believe this happened. Millions of lives are lost," Kelly said.

"And the secrecy of Remnant's existence is O-U-T out," Rebecca said.

Kelly changes the channel now showing footage of Teams RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, GRMA, and CFDT, and Ilia, Amber, Cade, and Qrow fighting off the Grimm and Merlot's Androids with the aid of the police.

"In the suburbs of Knoxville several of the black creatures and robots appear during the attacks all over the world when without warning, several individuals made mostly of teenagers attacked these threats with inhuman abilities and strange weaponry. What you are seeing before you is one hundred percent authentic," a news anchor said.

"Thankfully, Keaton convinced the police to not take us all in for questioning," Jacob said.

"I got a whole shit ton of messages from my friends back at school," Britney said looking down at her phone.

"Yeah, we know. Us too. They're asking us so many questions and want to know what the hell is going on," Jacob said.

"Fans of RWBY are going absolutely crazy. I mean just check out some of the reactions on Youtube that just came out," Allen said.

"I bet they're mostly freaking out about Remnant being real," Kendra said.

"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" Robert asked.

"We're going to meet up with Keaton tomorrow morning along with the others. Hopefully he'll know what to do," Jacob answered.

Kelly changes the channel on the television. The screen showed President Trump walking up to a podium.

"Look. The President is on," Kelly said.

As soon as President Trump stood behind the podium, he began to speak.

"My fellow Americans and fellow people of the world, today was a tremendous tragedy when this world was suddenly attacked by groups of terrorists and black monster creatures. What I am about to tell you all may sound completely and utterly ridiculous, but what I will say to you all is the truth. Most of these terrorists and all of these creatures came from a new world that for the past few months have been looking into. Our original plan was to inform the rest of the world we stand on this new world a couple days ahead of time. And just two days ago, we had just made diplomatic arrangements with one of the new world's governments, alongside the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Japan, and Russia."

Everyone continued to listen to Trump's speech.

"However, the threats that plague this new world, has found its way to come to our world and commit these heinous acts to create division to both worlds. These attacks will not go unpunished. We have endured hardships. We have endured many, many challenges. We have endured so many obstacles that threaten this great nation. This not just about America, this about the world as a whole. We will stand together and defend our country and our world from this new threat."

As the audience on the TV begins to applaud, Kelly shuts off the TV.

"I better get back home. My parents are probably wondering where I am," Robert said.

"Yeah, we should all get back," Britney said.

"Alright then. Goodnight, everybody," Jacob said.

Everyone except for Kelly began to leave the house and went home.


Washington D.C.

U.S. Capitol Building

House Chamber

Meanwhile in the House Chamber of the United States Capitol building, a few people, including Kamala Harris, were inside having just watched President Trump's speech.

Standing next to Kamala on her right is an old man with messy white balding hair. He wore a pair of glasses on his face and also wore a black suit, a light blue dress shirt, and a blue tie with white patterned dots on it.

Standing next to Kamala on her left was an old woman with short blonde hair. She wears a blue dress coat and matching pants, and a black shirt underneath.

Sitting behind the House Speaker's table was an old woman with short brown hair. She wears a pink dress coat and a white shirt underneath. She wears a pair of dress pants that match her coat.

"Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders What are your thoughts on this?" The woman behind the desk asked.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the fact that a world of fiction is discovered to somehow become reality is completely mind blowing," Hillary said.

"The fact that this world known as Remnant allows children to fight these so-called Creatures of Grimm is completely appalling," Bernie said.

"Kamala, what did you find from all this?" Pelosi asked.

"What I can find from all this before the attacks was that Trump helped found an organization called the United Hunters League. Its purpose is to fend off threats like the Grimm and other worldly threats for both Earth and this world of Remnant," Kamala explained.

"Anything else?" Pelosi asked.

"We've learned that President Trump didn't make contact with the new world's natives first. A group of teenagers were the first to make contact with them last year," Kamala answered as she pulled out a folder. "I have the names of who they are along with their backgrounds right here."

Kamala walks up to Pelosi and hands her the folder. She opens it up and reads it for a few moments.

"According to Jacob Gordon's file, his father is a radical white supremisist," Pelosi said.

"We could use this information that Kamala found and use it to have the Democratic candidates win the 2020 Presidential Elections," Hillary said.

"Agreed. It could get Trump out of the Oval Office," Bernie said.

"What about Joe Biden? I heard he's planning to run for president," Hillary said.

"I wouldn't worry about it. It's not like he has a chance at winning," Kamala said.


Harrison, Arkansas

House of Salem

Meanwhile in Arkansas, Salem and Watts were watching the news of the attacks that they had orchestrated. Watts changed the channel and showed footage of Teams RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, GRMA, and CFDT, and Ilia, Amber, Cade, and Qrow fighting off the Grimm and Merlot's Androids alongside the Knoxville Police Department.

"It seems that the Fall Maiden has chosen to reveal herself," Salem said.

"Not only that, it seems this city is Ozpin's new young allies' hometown," Watts said.

They both heard the front door open and close, followed by the sound of footsteps. Walking into the room was Victor with Amber's cloak that he had taken back to Atlas. Salem and Watts turned to face the Neo-Nazi leader.

"I see that you have returned from Atlas," Salem said.

"Yeah, I managed to create some panic, until those vodka drinking Russians had shown up unexpectedly," Victor said.

"I take it that you have more to report?" Salem asked.

"I've had a run in with the current Fall Maiden. I took her cloak right before I escaped as you can see," Victor said, holding the cloak in front of him.

Salem walks up to Victor and takes the cloak out of his hand. she looks at it for a moment before smiling.

"This could help us track her down. Well done," Salem said.

Salem walks out of the living room and out the front door. Victor and Watts grew curious, wondering where she was going. They both walk out the front door and see Salem holding Amber's cloak in front of her out in the darkness of the woods.

"If I may ask, what are you doing exactly?" Watts asked.

Salem didn't answer and she still held the cloak out. A moment later a low growl was heard coming from within the darkness of the woods. A large dark creature approaches on all fours up to Salem. Still shrouded in darkness, it sniffs the cloak that Salem held out making it growl again. Victor and Watts both stepped back in fear of the creature.

"What... the fucking fuck... is that?" Victor asked.

"Our tracker," Salem answered.
