Chapter 28

In a dark room, a bald man sitting at his desk with only a bright light shining behind him yet have his face covered in shadow to hide his distinctive figures while a strange yellow screen popped-up with five profile pictures that are blank with a text box beneath.

"Greetings." says the man in a similar manner to Agent 47 from Hitman.

MOG: {What do you want, Admin?}

MOS: {Let me guess. You want a new AI for your work?}

"I'm afraid so." he replied reluctantly. "Our own AIs have been malfunctioning more rapidly than ever."

MOR&D: {Clearly you can figure something out.}

"I would, but we lack the necessary resources to create one that would last for a month. Now, they last less than a few days."

MOE: {So you just need funding for a more stable AI.}

MOT: {Or perhaps you need a new AI from us. Do I understand right?}

"Either or. We need a new AI in order to keep our research going. We're also testing on creating Dovahkiin by infusing the test subjects from Remnant with the souls and blood of dragons. The first four have discovered their new powers when they went into the remains of one of our earlier projects."

MOS: {Didn't you already do that 630 years ago with the regular Nord subjects?}

"We did, but this is a little different."

MOG: {Admin. You and your scientific endeavors throughout the centuries have been astonishing, but right now, you're research is outdated. Dimensional travel and time manipulation was an astonishing breakthrough 2,000 years ago, but nowadays, citizens are more focused on creating comedies with the latest technologies on older shows.}

"Please don't tell me that you're gonna succumb to the dumb of the focus groups."

MOR&D: {The Council has agreed. Much to my own dismay.}

"You're all gonna make the same mistakes as the people of Earth did in some place called...Trollywood? Bollywood? Hollywood! Got it."

MOE: {Well it is creating a huge boon for the economy. How about we make a deal?}

"A deal?"

MOE: {We got word that one of your employees was selling nude photos of your test subjects on the side. You could do the same in order to increase your own budget by a small percentage given all the perverts we have these days.}

"Last time we did that, a bunch of our test subjects were abducted and used as breeding sows off of some colony full of misogynists that have more hormones than brain cells."

MOG: {... Oh yeah. We burned down the entire planet for doing that. But we did teleport your solar system to avoid that.}

MOE: {Anywho, you can also acquire a few more test subjects from this Remnant planet so we can give you a small increase to your research budget. The third thing you can do is use some false identifications on your accounts when you make investments in the stock market. If you agree to our little...arrangement, we'll get you a new AI. As long as you do that, you won't have to glass the planet with all those years of research. Deal?}

The strange man thinks about it for a moment before making a decision. If he agrees to these terms, he and his research teams will get the budget needed to keep them funding and get a more high quality AI. If he doesn't, than the solar system will be set to auto-destruct that will wipe everyone out.

"Fine. We have a deal."

MOE: {A wise business decision.}

MOR&D: {We do have one AI that is ready with a combination of synthetic brains and AI components that combines the best of both imaginary mind of an organic being and the intelligence of a machine. Still a prototype but this should provide a chance to study how it works.}

MOS: {But heed caution. There are still a few bugs to work out on this latest prototype.}

"Very well. I'll inform my staff that we will be receiving a new AI and some new orders. We're also gonna have to cut the supply drops to the surface."

MOG: {Then, this meeting is adjourn for the time being.}

Everyone: {Agreed.}

Back over at the museum, Jaune has discovered a new power thanks to a few engineering to both his soul and his genetics that allows him to use the power of the Dragonborn. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any dragon souls for him to power his new found ability. Ren, Pyrrha, and Nora have also gain the knowledge of the dovs. Kohta tries, but he didn't get the same ability. Much to his disappointment.

"What the fucking hell?" Kohta swears. "How come I didn't get any new powers?" Kohta is upset that he didn't get any new powers from the large stone slab that contains writings of the dragon language along with a few dragon words that have been scratched on them.

Ren places his hand on Kohta's shoulder, "I'm sorry, Kohta."

Kohta took a deep breath to calm down. "It's okay. But the spells are still good." His left hand starts to catch on fire. "I should bring back the spell tomes to the others when the storm finally clears."

Lightning started to flash and followed by thunder from outside.

Kohta looks outside, "Perfect timing."

"Can we head back to the library now?" Nora asked. "I'm still hungry."

Pyrrha giggles, "Okay. Let's head back."

Jaune's stomach grumbles before Kohta's stomach starts as well.

"Lunch time." Jaune says after feeling a little embarrassed.

At the secret underground lab below and outside of the vault. Neptune is messing with the chemistry station to create drugs for himself to help him coupe with the stress of being on a new planet that he has been hiding in order to take the edge off. He continues to make more to not only to get high to keep himself from having any mental breakdowns, but to also try to level-up. As of now, he raised his level up to 103 with all the chems and drugs he has been making for himself. He has tried jet once again to make time seem so slow along with buffjet as an added effect while working out with a few exercise equipment such as weight lifting, pommel horse, and the power cycle to increase his own physique to impress some of the ladies along with some charisma from day tripper. For his intelligence, he takes berry mentats while reading books at the same time as he works out. In case he does become too addicted, he takes addictol or fixer to cure it.

Over at Team SSSN's quarters, Sun looks at his implant and sees the exp share still in effect as he noticed his team's experience points have gone up and gained a level or two.

"The hell is Neptune up to?" Sun asks as he looks at his implant.

"Something wrong?" Scarlet asks as he sits on the edge of his bed.

Sun stops looking at his implant and looks at Scarlet. "Neptune is getting a lot of XP for doing something. I'm starting to worry that he's up to something."

"Body building most likely." Sage says as he enters the room. "He says that he hopes to impress the ladies with some new body he's working on."

"Then why keep it a secret?" Sun asks. "We're supposed to be a team."

"Knowing him, he's probably trying to impress the ladies again." Sage says as he leans against the wall.

"Could be." Sun sounds like he agrees but in unsure.

Scarlet jumps from his bed, "Maybe we should find him somewhere."

"We should check the gym to see if he's there or not."

Over at the cafeteria; Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, and Amber are sitting at a table enjoying lunch. Cinder and Amber are looking at each other as they try to figure out why they recognize each other. Emerald looks at them and finds it a little awkward.

"Hey guys?" she speaks at both of them. "I have an idea."

Cinder breaks her focus to look at Emerald. "What is it?"

"I think we should form a team."

Everyone starts to look at Emerald.

"Well, since there are four of us here and we all have amnesia. I think we should form a team and do something like exploring somewhere that no other teams have gone to before."

"I've been thinking that too." Mercury says. "I even come up with a team name."

"Really?" Amber asks while interested.

"What is it?" Cinder seems interested as well.

"Team CAME! ...eh?"

"Eww~!" Emerald is disgusted by Mercury's idea. "That's disgusting!"

"How about Team FAME?" Cinder throws in her two cents. "Like the color of gold. Since team names have to be color names, right?"

"That sounds better." Amber agrees.

Mercury just smirk as he places his feet on the table, "Worth a try."

Emerald smacks Mercury's feet of the table.

"OW!"

"You don't deserve to place your feet on the table after that." Emerald is very angry at Mercury for the team name. "Plus, we eat on the table."

"Team FAME is a good name." Amber says. "We have Cinder Fall for red, Emerald Sustrani for mint green, Mercury Black for metallic gray, and me! Amber...Amber...Amber... Huh. I don't know what my last name is."

"Seriously?" Emerald finds that strange. "You don't know your family name?"

"Guess not. But let me try to remember." Amber thinks as hard as she can to try to remember yet looks like she's about to take a crap. A minute or two later she stopped thinking.

"Anything?" Cinder and Emerald asks.

"I do remember something. I think someone called me...Autumn? I think that's right."

"You sure?" Mercury asks yet doesn't seem all that interested as he drinks a bottle of Nuka-Cola Orange while laying back.

"I think so. But I'm not entirely sure."

"Amber Autumn." Emerald says Amber's name out loud. "Sounds right. At least I think so."

"Amber Autumn it is then." Cinder finds it agreeable. She raises her Nuka-Punch in the air over the center of the table. "Cheers to Team FAME!"

Everyone raised their drinks, "Cheers!" as they clank them.

Over at the exercise room, Weiss is training Whitley on using semblances. Their family semblance to be accurate. Whitley tries using a white glyph, repulsion, to jump into the air and land back on his feet as an elegant gentlemen. Yang, on the other hand, is beating up a practice dummy with a flurry of kicks and punches to test out some new perks she picked-up while on this planet. Saeko and Kurumi are training with wooden swords. Takashi is training with a sword on another dummy. Everyone seem to be working out after having an early lunch in order to level-up or just focus on staying alive in this bizarre world. Oscar is also seen with Penny and Ciel so Oscar can learn how to fight. But Shizuka is looking after Alice and Yuki, who are also keeping an eye on Taromaru and Zero to make sure they don't get in everyone else's way. Even Willow Schnee is wide awake and sober as she uses a wooden sword on red-eyed Klein.

"Come on now!" Klein says with his grumpy personality. "Come and take me!"

Willow pulls her sword back before using her glyph to lunge towards him with all her might. In a split second, she disarmed Klein. Willow takes a few deep breaths before putting her sword away while looking at the disarmed butler.

"I haven't done something like that in a long time. Thank you very much, Klein. You have performed admirably as well."

Klein's eyes turned pink and is being bashful. "Oh, stop it! You did very good as well! I'm pretty sure you're even more amazing!"

Willow giggles at Klein's compliment before his eyes turn yellow and smiles.

"Anyway." she says to Klein. "I'm glad I'm away from..." gives a angered expression, "Him." Then she smiles again, "It feels like a huge weight was lifted off of me. When you told me that I should stop drinking and try to live a new life for myself and my children, I never thought I would feel this good. Not for such a long time. No more alcohol to drink my sadness and stress away. Free from my prick of a husband's tight grip. Glad I'm here on this planet despite not having what I'm used to live on. But I'm glad you're here, Klein."

Klein continues to smile, "I'm happy to hear that, madam."

As for Ruby, she's taking a quick nap after working so hard as Zwei tries to snuggle her. While napping, Zwei starts to dream. He dreams about how the RWBY girls act.

Ruby says, "I give the tummy rubs! I'm a good girl!"

Then he looks at Weiss who is holding a bag of treats and winks, "I sneak the treats. I'm the best girl!"

He looks at Blake as she looks depressed and sighs, "I'm a chew toy."

Then he looks at Yang, "I'm the Yang! Let's fight!" Then starts punching everyone." Zwei starts to cringe and starts making weird sounds in the real world.

In Ruby's dream, she stands in the middle of a bizarre version of the Emerald Forests in her regular outfit as she hears a voice that says, "Onward, noble Zwei!"

She looks around before something bashed into her leg. Ruby hops on one leg as she rubs the spot where she was bashed in. But when she looks down on what bumped her, she sees a chibi version of herself.

Both of them look at each other and point at each other, "Oh my gosh, you're adorable!"

Chibi Ruby skips from Regular Ruby's right to her left as she says, "Are you a cosplayer? I love your outfit!"

Regular Ruby gets on her knees as she adores her chibi-self, "Oh, look at you and your stubby legs!"

The chibi Ruby gets offended. "Hey!" She pulled out her own Crescent Rose and threatens her, "Who're you calling stubby? I'll cut you!"

Regular Ruby touches the chibi versions weapon, "Even Crescent Rose is adorable! Oh, you two are so cute, I just wanna squeeze you 'til you pop!" She lunges and glomps her chibi version of herself.

Her chibi version struggles to breath, "Ah! Betrayed by my own cuteness! I can't breath!"

In the real world, Ruby is squeezing Zwei, who is now wide awake and struggling to breath. Zwei managed to break free from Ruby's tight grip.

Ruby mutters in her sleep, "Wait...come back...I want more of your cuteness...!"

Some one dumps a bucket of water on Ruby's head that causes her to be wide awake and jolt up.

"What happened!?" Ruby says in surprise.

It was Yang that dumped water onto her sister while holding the bucket that is still dripping. Yang smiles at her sister, "Get up, Rubes. Nap time is over." Then throws a towel at her that landed on her head and covering her face.

"Yes, sis." then dries herself off.

"So what were you dreaming about?" Yang asked.

Ruby dries herself while responding, "I dreamed about seeing an adorable mini-version of myself and I wanted to squeeze her 'til she pops."

"Really? Does she have a big head yet stubby body."

"Well yeah- Wait. How do you know about that?"

"Just a guess."

Weiss and Blake approach their other two teammates as Weiss wipes her forehead with her towel as Blake just drapes hers on her left shoulder.

"Looks like someone is being lazy, again." Weiss says as she puts the towel on her head.

Ruby looks bewildered, "No I wasn't! I was only taking a cat nap!"

Yang bumped her shoulder on Blake's arm and smiles. Blake just glared at her. Yang then looks away.

Over at Red Base, Simmons hums a tune while doing experiments in a lab on the third level of the habitat where he has all of his lab equipment at.

"Now lets see here." he says to himself. "If I combine oxygen and flourine together in the right way, I should get hypergolic propellant for the rocket ship I'm making. Once I do that, I should be able to make a ship that should escape the stratosphere at top speed."

Then an alarm goes off that startled Simmons as he accidentally sets himself on fire.

"FUUUUCCKK!" He runs around until he pour a canister of water on himself. He angrily yells, "GGRRRIIIIIFFFF!"

Grif is located near the bio dome and runs away before Simmons starts shooting at him.

"Ohgodohgodohgod!" Griff says while running away from Simmons that is using a DMR.

Over at Blue Base, Church and Washington are walking (floating) down a cavernous hall while having a conversation.

"So any idea on when Sarge and the others are coming back?" Church asks.

"Don't know. But I think the less idiots there are, the better."

"Couldn't agree more."

"But how are things going for you since you got here?"

"Pretty much the same. I can't have a minute to myself without either Caboose being annoying or he's gonna do something dumb."

An explosion was heard later coming from the next room.

Church sounds annoyed, "Please don't tell me-"

"TUCKER DID IT!"

"Goddammit!"

Both of them head down the hall where they see Tucker looking at some strange yet familiar figures along with Tex and Carolina. Both Wash and Church look at the same direction as the others with Epsilon popping out. What they see are identical copies of the Reds and Blues.

They see a dumber down version of Simmons, "2+4=8! I'm the smart one!"

Then they see Grif, "That's good, Simon."

"Thanks Orange Guy Whose Name I Forget But Memberable."

Then they see a dumber version of Tucker, "Is there any butts I can sniff. Because I love butts."

A female version of Donut, "Who wants to go shopping?"

Then they see a dumb version of Washington. "Greetings. I am Agent Washingtub. The scariest man alive."

"Arrrggghh!" says the pirate version of Sarge. "Shiver me timbers! I wanna blow everything up!"

The real versions of the Blues look at each other and back at the Caboose versions a few times before gunning them down.

Caboose pops up from a rock. "Is it over?"

AN: Hey guys! Now for the Q&A:

Guest: I think that top bit may have answered your question.

007: Yeah. I know. But think about it. There are some aliens that require cloning rather than reproduction since they no longer have any genitals so they had to get something in some form of sexual entertainment.
