Chapter 5
Yeah, I was hoping to actually have a working posting system but I failed, enjoy and I hope that I finish my Christmas special faster. Thank you for the support.
Stratos263: Thanks, I try but I thinks it's more due to the material then my skill.
Cobalt Conrad: Fair enough I personally prefer comedy to something more serious. However, there will be more serious chapters I just don't want to rush in and fuck something up.
X3runner: Winter as ara ara you know I never thought of that... heh I need to write something down for later. Home Alone isn't sadistic... I mean it's not like he scarred the two burglars for life and probably caused irreparable injuries. Yeah, it's a perfectly family friendly movie.
Binkb: Glad it was enjoyable.
DragonTetho: Already have Goblin Slayer on the list still deciding between abridged or original because both are pretty good. Re:Zero with the original cast I mean I guess that could work but then this fic is just a reaction fic about the RWBY cast. It would probably work better as its own fic then just a few reactions to a few key moments.
Guest: I'm already planning to do Shumatsu no Valkyrie. Ozpin as Adam works, I can't really see anyone else in that role.
Kitsuna G: Yeah, thanks for the understanding I will try to do JoJo, hey maybe I will become a fan even.
Wolfgrey: Oh God, Weiss really is Kaguya. Well now I have to find a way to embarrass the rest of RWBY after all I am a fair and just god. I punish everyone equally.
Guest: Robot Chicken is personally hit and miss for me. I'll have to watch Our Newest Member, Calvin?
0akarigan0: Glad you liked it. Hope my newest chapter is to your liking.

"Yeah, yeah. I owe you it's not like I saved your ass a thousand times. Oh, shut up. Yeah, I hate you too say hi to mom nitwit." Sto finishes talking on the phone as he turns back to the viewers. "Ok, two people are going to come crashing into the room in a second. Welp time to ruin a perfectly good emotional moment."
"Wait, what?" Ruby speaks up. As a portal opens in front of them as an orange haired girl with green flames erupts from her boots, she holding a white-haired specialist. The girl's semblance gives one final blast before dying. As they fall and hit the ground.
The older looking Weiss rubbed her head as she stood up before noticing Ironwood. Straightening up and looking around the room, "General Ironwood, with all due respect what is going on? How and why are we here? Atlas is under attack!"
"None of that!" A snap and all the words coming out of Winter became a long screeching scream.
Shutting her mouth before trying to speak, "REDACTED, REDACTED, REDACTED, OH FOR FUCKS SAKE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!" Surprised from the change Winter calms down and asks "What are you?" Sto just shrugs pointing at the viewers, "They will explain. Oh, and Ruby watch out."
"Eh..?" Before an orange and emerald green rocket hit the reaper with an excited "Ruby!" A bone crushing crunch is heard, a sign covers the screen with big bold letters WELL BE RIGHT BACK!
We return to a more quiet and less chaotic scene where Winter sits in-between Ironwood and Weiss. As they were explaining what was going on, with Winter leaning in closer to Weiss. Penny sitting right in between Yang, Ruby and Nora.
"Ok, we can start." Sto clapped his hands before smacking himself. Turning around he started to monoluge, "You see in this world Vale and Atlas never rose to become kingdoms while Mistral is actually divided into two different kingdoms... you know what I'm just monologuing. Vale is just replaced by the Kingdom of Arcadia and that all you really need to know."
"An alternate universe?" Ozpin looks up at Sto.
"Yes, in this world the Grimm are... Let us say more contained so more nations were able to rise to prominence and no I'm not telling you how they did it." Sto replies haphazardly as he throws the ball at the screen.
A bright flash and before the screen stands a group of armoured soldiers. Guns at the ready and a large blaring multicoloured light of a giant screen. With a black and white picture of a man wearing a pig's head. Doves flying around him.
A womans voice speaks revealing this to be a news channel with the words "SUBVERISE MESSAGING ACROSS LUNDIN."
"Lundin? What a weird name." Nora comments, with Miss Goodwitch once again sighing and glaring at Ozpin.
The women speak, "The illegal painting spreading subversive and hostile messaging over the last few weeks across Lundin are not the work of several people as it was originally believed, but the work of an individual."
Winter questions as she looks at Ironwood, "Is graffiti a serious enough crime in this world to be on the news?"
Ironwood frowns as he replies, "Maybe the world is going through something similar to the Mistralien Empire crack down on art and self-expression. This could possibly lead to their version of the Great War." Winter tentatively nods at this explanation.
A scene changes and the camera zooms out revealing an old busted up TV in a store. Where a hooded figure with a mask made of red petals in a swirling pattern and painted with black outlines of roses is shown. Shouting is heard and a soldier stands in front of the shopkeeper pointing a gun as he steals chocolate bars and packets of sweets.
"Appalling behaviour." Weiss sneers at the behaviour with some sort of agreement from everyone. Well except for Raven, like always.
The narration continues as the soldiers starts leaving the shop still pointing a gun at the shop keep, "The criminal is suspected to have connections to the terrorist organisation Deadsec. The mask individual is dangerous."
The soldier steps out carrying his stolen goods before a hooded red figure barrel into him knocking both of them to the floor. The female figure shouts "Oy!" Noticing the soldier, she books it leaving behind a trail of petals as bullets give chase after her. Flying drones and hungry red dots right behind her.
Yang grins, "Ruby are you secretly apart of a terrorist organisation, oh no that's Bla-" A sharp elbow to the ribs from her sister and an angry look from Blake shuts her up.
Turning down a less crowded street she almost trips but gets back up again using her semblance to get further away from the horde of faceless soldiers. Running through the streets that look mashed together with ancient and modern buildings standing together.
The News Report continues, "The authorities recommend not to approach the individual."
A tall man stands in bathroom looking at a mirror wearing a yellow mask with smiling face. "First, they came for the foreigners, I did not speak out. Cause I was not a foreigner." A newspaper article appears showing the brutal beatings of Mistraliens and Atlesians.
The Atlesians and Mistraliens in the crowd are surprised that they are receiving the beatings, Blake cant hide a grin at the slight vindication. Pyrrha surprised at recognising the voice "Is that Jaune speaking?"
Nodding along Weiss replies, "It seems Jaune lives in Lundin but probably never managed to join a academy." Turning to Sto she continues "Actually do academies exist?"
Sto smiles at the question, "Clever, due to Grimm being a rare sight the academies where never formed. Due to this Huntsmen don't exist. With aura and semblances being a heavily guarded secret of the military as they don't want a bunch of superpowered vigilantes running around."
The red women jump over the metro barriers as drones follow her through the graffiti-stained neon underground. Jumping and half tumbling down the stairs.
"Then they came for the protestors, I did not speak out. Cause I was not a protestor." A news article showing the remnants of the protest and hundreds of statistics about the worsening of the nation. Ads of the same soldiers stand out in the white background with the words "Keeping you safe."
Jumping back to the women who keeps on running through a tunnel with the hungry iron vultures behind her. Skidding on the floor one fly's past and smashes into a wall, not stopping she runs straight for the train tracts. The train barrelling forward she uses her semblance to leave behind a vortex of petals, an explosion and strained mirror as the vulture explodes.
Cutting back to the man in the mirror. "Then they came for the journalists and I did not speak out. Cause I was not a journalist." A page eternally loading taunting the viewers.
"That makes more sense they were slowly destroying individual group to prevent them from working together, rather clever. If immoral." Ironwood nods before realizing something, "Penny and Winter record all technology seen and we will be reverse engineering once we get back." Penny nodding along as they started to watch it even more intently. Winter gives the General a look before following orders.
Ren surprisingly comments, "This is certainly reminiscent of the Mistralien Empire, actions during the Great War." With Pyrrha just apologizing for her homes rather bad past and everyone ignoring her constant apologies.
The hooded women is seen running up the escalator as the familiar sound of rotating blades is heard. A camera snap and a map of a giant city is shown, in a few second, they find her. The soldiers start screaming and their cars swerve to catch her.
"Then they came for the street artists, I did not speak out. Cause I am not a street artist." Grabbing the wall, she pulls herself over and lands on a large drone it comes to life burning with a beautiful red. Bullets follow and both it and its rider receive clicks and clacks. It fly's through the air blessed with a semblance twirling and moving through a maze of crushing cars and red busses.
A quick look back and three armoured vehicles not far behind. The second of distraction costs her as the drone's smashes into a red bus. Sending her sprawling onto it, she quickly gets up and with another leap lands on a faster one. Her luck runs out as the lights turn red and she is sent tumbling to the floor.
Yang hugs Ruby tightly as she watches the screen. Taking in this as permission Penny hugs both of them with Nora following along after all no one a better hugger then her. With Ruby trying to survive the sudden onset of hugs from the three physically strongest teenagers in the theatre.
In front of a black cab where a tall and lanky blonde covered with tattoos just barely manages to stop the vehicle. The soldier rush in from every corners guns pointed, "and I realized that eventually they would come for me and there would be no one left to speak for me."
Ozpin just nods as he closes his eyes, "How many times did I wait and allowed suffering to happen?" Turning to Ironwood, "He stepped past that line and it costed him, I hope that will make him think more about his actions. It is good to have someone proactive but I'm starting to think we've have been on the defence too long, she's getting bolder."
The cab comes to life at the disoriented terrorist the doors open. Shouting at her to get in she follows putting her life into a stranger's hands. Mayhem follows as a literal wall of bullets follow after the traitorous cab driver. Holes and cracked mirrors by whatever miracle the duo escape unscathed from the onslaught.
A camera and the cab drivers face is caught, in a second his identification appears.

Weiss comments, "That's rather impressive that they are able to find someone so easily and rather concerning. I don't think even Atlas has such tech." Everyone looks at the Atlesians with the council giving Ironwood a disapproving look with Qrow wagging his finger disapprovingly at Winter, who looks ready to jump on him. With the teams staring at a nervous Penny and displeased Weiss. Winter calms down before voicing her opinion, "If we had similar abilities we would be able to catch criminals, terrorist and… Never mind. It would be easier to keep Atlas safe."
Qrow with a grin, "Or do you mean keep you all in charge?" Winter is about to jump before Ironwood gives her a stern look.
The two are desperately trying to keep their heads down while simultaneously avoiding their deaths through smashing into another vehicle. Ove the din of fire Jaune asks, "Right, were are we off too?"
A quick if a little panicked reply "Just drive I'll show you the way!"
"Okay, sorry Miss names Jaune!"
"Ruby Rose, nice to meet you!"
Yang smiles teasingly, "Oh, look at that even in another world Jaune is helping you from the start."
Ruby just gives a big smile, "Yep." Yang stops, "Wait not even a little embarrassed?" before she can comment on that, the scene moves on.
The cab speeds of over a bridge as a bunch of metal monstrosities follow them. With a city of ancient monuments and glowing lights as their eternal watcher.
They arrive in front of a bar with a sign of under construction. They both get out of the banged-up cab. The accent of the now named Ruby rose can be easily heard "You get it right? Just because I like to make weapons without a license, doesn't mean I am a danger to society. You have to do what you love or your just some Monochrome dunderhead!"
Penny is about to speak "Actual-" Ruby looks at Penny with puppy eyes, "Penny I'm not a danger, am I?"
Penny stops, "TARGET: FRIEND: RUBY ROSE. ILLEGAL MANUFACTURING OF WEAPONRY. DANGER TO ATLAS: YES, BUT FRIEND, YES HARMLESS, YES NO SHES A FRIEND!

Penny shuts down and falls limp on the sofa. Pyrrha turns to Winter and Ironwood, "Is Penny in need of medical attention?"
Winter jumps in quickly, "Penny is not used to interacting with people, she just needs to re- I mean rest." Ironwood nods along as the council and the teams including Raven look at them confused.
Blake frowns, "That doesn't make sense. Wasn't Pennys semblance that beam of energy or telekenises like Miss Goodwitch when she controlled those swords? So why was she using green fire? How can she possess three different semblances unless they aren't semblances?"
Nodding along Jaune follows her into the pub. Were a news reader is loudly speaking the same smiley mask is thrown at him. He barely catches it with Ruby giggling at his sudden burst of energy. He looks up to see a bunch of coloured freaks wearing masks and neon lights.
Ignoring Penny's meltdown, the viewers return to watching the viewing. Some of the people look similar or at least recognizable. A few obvious ones were a blonde wearing a mask similar to a dragon, a familiar red ponytail and a green ninja.
"It looks like were all there or most of us at least." The ever-observant Blake comments.
He is about to take a step back when the news reader suddenly becomes louder, "A new key suspect has been identified a 23-year-old cab driver Jaune Arc. He has no criminal record but is currently believed to be a terrorist." Jaune becomes resolute as he puts it on. "People have been asked to step up if they have information on him and advised not to interact with him."
"Look at that Vomit Boy is joining us! Hell, yeah with the gang together they're going down!" A cough from Miss Goodwitch quietens her down.
A clap and Sto is standing in front of them wearing a red hat with white fur and a pompom. With a smile, "Good news its almost Christmas like literally a few hours for me. Anyway that means that the next viewing will be based around the best holiday in the multiverse not counting Pancakes Day!"
