Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Cybernetic Couple. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Atlesian City of Mantle, 1 month before the arrival of team RWBY)
Ruddy perched on the ledge of the building, his helmet had been rebuilt into a spider like high tech mask with a blue visor that could be retracted into it.
"They don't look like they have hostages… Where is the AK-200s? I know there should be 2 squads guarding the warehouse." He asked before he saw a Bullhead that was starting to pull a crate explode and crash into the ground.
Penny landed in the courtyard, her boots humming before Ruddy sighed and rushed in to go and get her.
"Damn it, you're going to get killed, lady…" He muttered while he slid down the building.
(With Penny)
Penny landed on the Bullhead while the pilots crawled out of the wreckage. She looked over the squad of White Fang soldiers who surrounded her while she held out her hands to blast her lasers from her palms.
"By order of the Atlesian Military, I must please insist that you lay down your weapons and surrender to my custody. I will give you 15 seconds to peacefully lay down and release any hostages or Atlesian cargo or I will be authorized to use deadly force…" Penny stated, she decided to not use Floating Array unless she needed the blades for combat at all.
The White Fang took this to fire at her before she started firing, blasting two of the White Fang soldiers who burned and screamed.
Penny rushed towards the soldiers, her mechanical legs carrying her faster than their bursts of gunfire could be. She slammed into a White Fang soldier, wrenching the man into the air before flicking him into the wall hard enough to crack it.
She kicked another soldier, shattering her Grimm mask and sending her skidding back and then flying into the air and looking at the soldiers.
She slammed into the middle of them, denting the stone under her boots before looking at the 5 scattered soldiers with swords and axes groaning.
She heard the sound of a gun cock before turning to see 2 with Fang soldiers with rifles aimed at her.
One of the soldiers was shot in the shoulder and crumpled to the ground in pain before the other soldier turned and was shot in the chest 5 seconds later.
Ruddy walked out and into the courtyard, holding a smoking Fusillade.
"You know, a simple 'I'm going to attack them first and you back me up would have helped." Ruddy stated before kicking the rifle away.
He turned to look at White Fang soldier reaching for it and then slammed the man face first into the hand with his other hand.
"I thought you would handle the hostages while I engaged the enemy?" Penny asked, tilting her head to the side cutely and Ruddy was glad his helmet hid his blush before he put his weapon back into its holster.
"Ok… A. there is no hostages, my helmet has thermal vision and I guarantee they know taking hostages is going to bring half the military down on them. B. you literally decided that without telling me anything… C. You can fly… I cannot fly, I have a grappling hook built into my armor when your father rebuilt my entire armor." Ruddy stated before he looked at the Bullhead.
"Well… You saved the cargo… Least I know my weapon works…" He muttered before he walked over to a White Fang soldier who Penny had burned, but left alive.
"You know both of us see you reaching for that gun, right?" Ruddy stated before he picked up the rifle.
He snapped it in half like it was a twig and tossed it aside.
"Why are the White Fang in Mantle? This isn't an SDC warehouse and if there were hostages here, you would have brought Grimm here. I'm sure your smart enough to know that." He stated and sighed. The soldier said nothing and Ruddy turned to penny.
"I believe we are done here; my father has contacted the military and a team will be here to take care of the issue." Penny said.
"Yeah, I forgot… You did good, I didn't expect you to take on half of them alone but you're a lot better at fighting then I thought." Ruddy said and Penny smiled before she powered up her jets.
"I will carry you back to father's lab!" She yelled as Ruddy's eyes widened.
"Wait, no, I can…" Ruddy managed to say before Penny rushed into him, scooped him up and flew into the sky with the cyborg in her arms as both flew back to her father's lab.
"WHY!?" Ruddy yelled as both flew away.
(At Pietro's lab)
Ruddy liked working with Penny, he hated flying, when Penny landed, he almost thought he ripped her arms off from clinging to her.
Both walked inside Pietro's lab while a Manta flew overhead.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Penny's story will mainly be based from her and Ruddy's pov so RWBY, JNR, Oscar and Qrow will be mostly main characters. Next chapter will show Penny and Ruddy watching the news, talking to Pietro and figuring out their next mission. Until Tuesday or so. Lighting Wolf out!
