Chapter 10: Ghosts vs. Robots with Reds and Blues
P29: Its crunch time! The final battle begins… Nora? What are you doing here? And why are you going through my fridge?
Nora: Oh! Hi! Ren told me about this awesome drink here called 'soda' and he said I should have some. He also said it would go great with this other thing. (Holds up a monster energy drink)
P29: NORA DON'T! Well we're all going to die.
I don't own RWBY or anything else referenced in this story. I only own my OCs. Special thanks to Zarrok1138 for letting me use his character.
Andrea charged and swung her naginata at Penny, but she rolled underneath it and used her swords to knock it out of her hands. The blade got stuck in the ground. Andrea turned to look at her and dived to dodge the incoming swords. Nathan came in charging; pointing his bat at her and pulling the trigger, letting lose the unmistakable sound of a shotgun. Penny rotated her swords to block the pellets but was unable to stop the incoming swing from his bat. She went flying back a few feet and jumped back up and started rotating her swords. Knowing what would happen next I cheered as the incoming laser knocked Nathan back into the water.
But she had forgotten about Gabbie. She swung her cutlasses and in a flurry of swing knocked backs all of Penny's swords. She jumped back a few feet and unloaded a clip into the now defenseless Penny. Luckily, her aura took most of the damage. Gabbie stomped her foot and water came roaring at Penny. What? I looked again and saw that she had in fact created a wave. One she was now riding. Fortunately Penny jumped out of the way and landed on a box. Her swords flew back to her and she shot another laser back a Gabbie. She was knocked back almost to the water but stopped just in time. Her swords weren't so lucky. Just as Nathan poked his head above water the two swords hit his head, knocking him back under.
I then noticed a shimmer behind Penny. All of a sudden, Andrea reappeared behind her and shot out a bolt of lightning from her fingers. Penny managed to dodge but it gave enough time for Andrea to get her weapon. She hefted it over her shoulder and pulled the trigger. A loud bang sounded throughout the docs and the bullet came rocketing at Penny. The round exploded just before hitting her. Andrea jumped through the dust cloud her round created and started slashing at Penny, hitting her joints in particular. Suddenly, she disappeared and Penny looked around for her. But she was met with Nathan's bat. Guess Gabbie managed to get him out of the water. He stomped the ground and somehow created a shockwave, knocking Penny back into the wall.
Realizing that Penny was losing, I had to help her. Unfortunately I was the only one fully awake, everyone else either knocked out or still dazed. I then got an idea. I opened my mouth as wide as I could and shot out a wisp of fire, burning through the gag. My mouth now free I unleashed a plum at the trio, allowing Penny to get back up. She knocked back Andrea and pushed Gabbie back a few feet. What is with her and not being knocked down? Penny then began going fist-to-bat with Nathan and she was pretty good. I'll have to look out for her in the tournament. I tried to help out by blocking Gabbie with fire whenever she tried to go near her but she kept splashing water in my face. It tasted like feet. Nathan finally managed to score a hit and knocked Penny to the ground. Soon the two of them, dripping wet and battered, cornered Penny. Andrea finally got back up and the three circled Penny. "Foolish girl, don't you know Ghosts always beat robots." Andrea said, her fists crackling with electricity, ready for the final blow.
"Oh, it was never my intention to defeat you," Penny said with a smile. "What?" Andrea questioned, all three of them looking confused. It was then that we finally realized that we had become surrounded by police officers, blue and red ones especially.
"Alright you fucks, time to surrender to the all mighty red team!" came a familiar, old voice with a southern accent from behind one side of the troops. "No! Don't listen to those fuck-tards, surrender to us, the fearsome blue team!" "Um, Church?" "God dam it Caboose! What now!" "Aren't we all on the same side?" "I'm going to have to agree with Caboose on this one." "Yeah well, no one cares what you think Tucker."
Nathan just had enough time to say "Hey, aren't those the guys from that one show, Red vs. Blue?" before they were beaten by a barrage of knock-out gas. When the smoke cleared the three was face first on the ground snoring. They would have been arrested but for some reason Ozpin wanted to see them. Ruby, Blake, Sun, and Penny were all sitting on some crates that had somehow survived. I was off a little ways thanking Sarge and saying hi to Grif and Simmons. But then I heard the clack of heels on the pavement and saw Weiss and Yang approaching Blake. I smiled as Weiss talked with Blake and I saw her wipe away a tear. But then, "And You!" I jumped; surprised that she would still be mad at me. As she began laying into me about how 'irresponsible it was to leave without telling anyone' and 'the feelings of friends' I noticed her eyes were red and puffy, as if she had been crying. Her voice cracked a bit, as if she was getting emotional. Could she… no, I couldn't be that lucky. Could I? One way to find out. "And another thing-"she stopped mid rant because I walked foreword and kissed her, surprising everyone around. When we parted we looked at each other and I said the cheesiest thing ever, of all time. "You talk too much." Well it's true.
Always one to interrupt a sweet moment Yang burst out "Aw, now both you and Blakey here have boyfriends." We laughed at the blush on both Weiss and Blake's faces. All six of us stated walking back to Beacon, me and Weiss hand in hand. So of course something had to ruin the moment. "You still haven't answered me, who are you really?" I sighed, hoping that she would drop it but I guess they all are a little curious. I took out my scroll and messaged Ozpin if he could help explain everything when we got there. It was going to be another long night.
-X-
It was well after midnight. When Ozpin finished explaining everything about me being from another dimension to team RWBY, JNPR, and Sun we decided the best thing to do was have a huge party. While there Weiss and I had a chance to talk and she confessed that during our time together she had developed feeling for me. Apparently I was one of the first people to actually treat her like a person. Happy that my feeling where replicated, I kissed her again in front of everyone there, much to the disappointment of Jaune. But as the night wore on I found I needed some fresh air, so I went to the roof. And that is where I meet this guy.
He had dark brown hair, greying at the temples and deep green eyes. He was five eleven and wore simple glasses, a black leather trench coat over a simple black t-shirt, and a combat harness with two M1911 A1s in the shoulder holsters. He also had black jeans and light combat boots. What's with him and black? There appeared to be a long sword on his back as well. He stood there, watching me before finally speaking, "I was expecting you to go after Blake, honestly, but whatever floats your boat." I blinked, not really expecting him to talk about that. Then I remembered this was where I first talked to Blake. Was he watching me that far back?
"Just who the hell are you?" I ask, readying my sword. "A friend," he says with a slight smile. "Why do I doubt that?" "Are all people from Earth this distrustful?" my grip tightened on the hilt. "What?!" I half asked half shouted in surprise. "Yes," he continued, "I know who you are, more importantly I know what you are." "And what am I, exactly?" "You are an elemental," came an all too familiar voice from behind me.
I turned around to see Infinus, wrapped in grey cloth and holding that staff of his. "Hey Dunkel." He said to the stranger now identified as Dunkel. This couldn't be good. But before I could do anything Dunkel continued for Infinus "an elemental is a person who has combined with a dust crystal and survived. You're more powerful than normal people and the fact that YOU specifically are a fire elemental makes you the perfect person to help us." "Help you?" I asked, not sure of their intentions. "Yeah," he said. "Infinus here has a brother, Marcus, and he went crazy with power about 500 years ago. Now Marcus is working for the same bad guy that was controlling the so called 'Ghost Squad' that's currently in surgery at the infirmary. This bad guy won't stop 'till you're working for him and saving Marcus will really cripple his forces." My head was spinning with all the info he was giving me but I collected my thoughts and said "so let me get this straight. You two are good guys. The three people that attacked us were being mind-controlled by this ultimate bad guy that wants me, and the first step to stopping him is to go and defeat his brother?" "Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." Sigh, "Doesn't look like I have much of a choice now, do I?" "Perfect, I'll be here when it's time to go and fight him. In the meantime, I suggest you train a little bit, you won't stand a chance against him like you are now." "Hey!" but before I could protest further he continued, "I'll sent you a note when its time. Don't be late." And with that both he and Infinus disappeared. I think my life just got more complicated. But then I thought of Weiss and I knew that it might just work out after all.
P29: Ok, now sorry to disappoint you guys but there's still one more chapter before the end of this season. It might be a while before I post again because Nora is going crazy in my house.
Nora: Ohmygod!Icantbeleiveit!thattastedsogood!
