Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Cybernetic Couple. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Streets of Mantle.)
Ruddy walked towards the beings and then he blew the smoke off his weapon before he put it into his holster. He brushed and cracked his joints.
He looked up and saw Penny flying over his head while he yawned. He needed to get more sleep.
"Ms. Rose, this is Sergeant Ruddy Thyone, he works for me." Pietro said, Ruddy bowed and turned to the doctor.
"We killed off the rest of the Grimm." He stated before he turned to see a group of hand lasers slaughter the rest of the Grimm.
He hummed and watched the girl look up at the sky before Pietro smiled.
"I believe you've already met Penny." Pietro said while he turned to Ruddy.
"You might want to cover your ears, Sergeant." Pietro said, he hummed before doing it.
The landing of Penny, then her rush towards Ruddy was followed by the biggest squeal Ruddy had ever heard before he took his fingers out of his ears and turned to see Penny talking with the others.
"I think I'm a bit confused on all this… I didn't keep up with the rest of the events in Vale… Either that or my brain isn't on as I thought it used to be." He muttered before Pietro hummed and turned to look as the duo started freaking out.
"That's her best friend in the world. They met years ago in Vales. I want to talk about if you found anything wrong with the rest of the defenses." Pietro said, he rubbed at his own head before Ruddy hummed and looked around with amusement.
"I believe they pierced the wall. I don't know how they got in around the shields. I can understand the rest of the flying Grimm, but I don't think we've seen any holes in the shields." He said, Pietro sighed and looked at the ground.
"Well, I believe someone is hacking into the shields then, Ruddy." He said, Penny looked at the duo before Ruddy brushed off his arms and then smiled.
"I believe we're going to have to talk about what's going to be our next move? We do have a next move, right?" Ruddy asked, Pietro nodded, both started walking away from the rest of the event.
"I'm worried what will happen if the shields are broken or hacked into. You know more or less how strong the damage to Atlas could be if the Grimm managed to get inside in such massive numbers. You also know for a fact that you and Penny can't do everything at once, your just 2 people. I don't want my darling to get hurt." Pietro said, Ruddy sighed and looked around the street.
"We've dealt with the rest of the Grimm; I doubt their going to be a problem to the rest of the city. I'll make sure to do a patrol and get back to talk with you when we're done." He stated. He smiled and then walked away.
He hummed while Pietro walked next to them and then he turned to Ruddy.
"I have another request for you to deal with if you're ok with it." He stated. Ruddy turned to him. He tapped on his chair while Ruddy cracked his fingers again.
"Ok. I don't have much pull with the military. I'm an enhanced grunt, you know that. You lay it on the table, I'll see what I can end up doing." He said while he rolled his eyes.
He turned and looked at the rain, he saw rain every day, but he could feel something coming on the rain. He knew what rain was without the heating grid.
They lost the heating grid and people would die in Atlas. He joined the military to make a good effort in the world. He would make sure the bad feeling went down and was burned to ash.
"I need you to keep an eye on Penny. She was a pawn in the last game, you know what happened to Vale before when she was killed." He said, Ruddy sighed and nodded.
"I know what people will do to use Penny against them. I've lost friends in Vale. I know that this path is dangerous. I know what's going to happen if bad people get to use Penny again. I'll make damn sure that nobody else hurts her." He said, he turned to the side and then back to the doctor.
"I'm going to check the walls and then make sure that nothing is wrong. I'll send you and General Ironwood a report after this." He stated, he brushed his foot along the ground.
"I'll be right back, doctor. You take care in the meantime. I'll make sure nothing bad happens to Penny, you have my word." He said and then he turned and walked away.
Pietro watched the man walk away before he sighed.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that the election might happen the same way it does in the show. Next chapter is going to be on next Tuesday or so and will show Ruddy meeting Ruby and then talking to Penny after that. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: Winter or Willow will be the next story. I will set up a poll after that.
