Chapter 31
Sun, Sage, and Scarlet found a secret passage way where Neptune has been doing some 'serious training' done. They head down the stairs to Neptune's secret training room. They head deeper and deeper until they gotten to a more cavernous area.
"Are we in one of the mining area?" Sage asked.
"No." Scarlet responds. "We're in the northern area. The mines are located in the western and eastern areas. This area is new."
Sun looks around in this dark area and managed to see everything thanks to his Faunus nightvision.
"See anything?" Scarlet asked Sun.
"Yeah." Sun then describes what he sees. "I see some dumbbells, a barbell, a chest, a refrigerator, and...a chemistry station?"
"Hold on." Sage says while check his inventory. "I got a flashlight." He pulls it out and shines a light on the area.
"Let me get mine." Scarlet get his own flashlight as well.
They all look around and noticed all the stuff around. They see the exercise equipment around, including a pommel horse and two different chemistry stations. One from Fallout and another from 7 Days to Die. All three of them check the place out. Sage checked the walls for a light switch but hasn't found one yet. Scarlet checks out the chemistry stations to see if there is anything stored. But when checking, it is the same stuff that was used to do all the base building and storage. He found out all crafting stations are connected to the settlement workshop that they got from the gas station at the wastelands. Then Sun checks the Vault 88 trunk that is there.
"Found something!" he says to his teammates.
"Whatcha' find?" Sage asks as he approaches. Scarlet follows sooner.
But before they know it, their implants started to act up again.
Scarlet looks at his implant, "Oh hey! New stuff!"
"Focus." Sun says while going through the trunk.
"Sorry."
Sun removes a few items from the trunk. "Let's see here. Buffout steroids. Mentats. Bufftats, Psychobuff. Yep, the guy is on drugs alright. I knew it!"
"So he is a cheater!" Scarlet says with some anger to his tone. "And I was defending that asshole! So the guy hides his stash in the trunk so no one will noticed the shit he made in the chemistry station since some of the wasteland crafting stuff is connected!"
"We need to tell the others." Sage shares in their anger.
Over at the vault cafeteria, Neptune is eating with doe-eyed Weiss while having mutton with a side of cooked rice and some pre-war Blamco Mac & Cheese. He does his best try to eat elegantly even though he doesn't have a shirt on. Weiss just stares at him all lovingly with her head on her left hand and a big smile while having a pre-war salisbury steak.
"Enjoying your meal, Weiss?" Neptune asked.
"Hm? Oh yes I am."
"But you didn't touch the steak, green peas, or corn?"
Weiss looks down and realized she hasn't eaten a single bite out of her dinner.
"I think you should eat it before it gets cold."
Weiss gets flustered, "Oh! Right!" she nervously grabs her fork and knife and starts cutting her steak.
That is when the other members of Team SSSN bust through the door.
Well Sun tried kicking the door down, "OW!", but ended-up injuring himself.
"Dude." Scarlet says from the other side of the door. "Just open it."
The door opens with Scarlet looking at Sun as Sun just hops on his left foot while tending to his right. Sage smiles and rolls his eyes before starting to look stern while holding a bag.
Neptune noticed the serious looks on their faces as he goes, "Ru-ro."
Sage dumps everything that is in the bag onto the table with Weiss looking at the contents.
Weiss took the buffout and mentats. "Steroids? Brain boosters?!" Weiss is completely shocked that Neptune has been taken drugs.
Neptune starts to sweat, "Not mine!"
"Yeah right!" Sun says as he slams his hand on the table. "We found your secret stash in the secret passage at the generator room!"
"Neptune!" Weiss starts to get upset. "How could you!"
"Wait, wait! I used some addictol to cure any and all addictions of it!" Neptune starts to panic and tries to explain.
But Weiss is very furious, "That's not the point! You can't use drugs to cheat your way through life!"
Neptune starts to get angry, "Well excuse me! Maybe I just needed something to take the edge off since we're trap here with only a few people on this planet! I need something to get my mind on the fact we're stuck here!"
"That doesn't mean you should take drugs! You can't just cheat!"
"Well I NEED THEM!"
The argument between them gets heated as the rest of Team SSSN just look at them. Feeling a little bad about what they did.
"Maybe we shouldn't found out about the whole thing." Sun feels regret about what they did.
"Yeah." both Sage and Scarlet say in unison.
But Scarlet says, "But at least he won't be doing any drugs from now on, so that's something."
"Yeah." Sage and Sun say in unison
Then Weiss just left crying out of the cafeteria.
"WEISS, WAIT!" Neptune reaches out and chases after Weiss out the door.
Over at the war room, actually it is the conference room, where Ruby, Saya, Takashi, Coco, Soichiro, and Ciel are looking at a duplicate map of the 'Mystical City' along with the areas around it, made by Ciel, where Winter, Yuri, Toshimi, Team JNPR, and Team NDGO are at.
Ruby says while looking at the map, "I highly doubt they explored much considering the weather outside."
"Dully noted." Saya says. "But I think we should set up here." She places her right index finger on the pirate island. "Since it is some sort of pirate fort, it should be defensible on all sides since the area here-" she circles the area with her finger, "-since these are cliffs." Then pokes one area to the south, "And over here is a cave where their ships go in and out."
Soichiro looks at the map. "I have to agree. Since they are, well were, pirates, they had to come up with some defenses to safeguard their treasure."
"Yet might have a few traps." Takashi throws in his two cents. "They would set up traps when guarding their treasure."
"That much is clear." Coco says.
"Yet they might be sloppy." Ciel says. "They were pirates with little bit of brain power."
Before going off any further, Weiss comes running through crying. Everyone looks at her as she runs by before Neptune is seen chasing her.
"Weiss wait!" he says while running and apologizing. "I'm sorry! I was doing those things so I can impress you so I can be the only man you want! I want to be your dream man!" Then exit out the door.
They all look at each other at what the hell just happened.
"Any ideas on what that was about?" Takashi asks with one eyebrow raised.
"I'll go see what is going on." Ruby immediately uses her semblance to go after Weiss.
Coco looks back at the group, "I would do the same with my teammates. Especially Velvet."
Soichiro says, "Because she's a...what is she again? A bunnygirl?"
"A Faunus. They do have equal rights but still mistreated."
Saya then says, "Similar to the Americans with the Africans."
"Who?" Ciel asks.
"Basically white people that made slaves out of black people until the majority of human trafficking ended by law."
"Wait a minute." Coco tries to process that information. "So you basically enslave a person because they had a different colored skin? Geez, I thought the human race on Remnant was awful. I mean we enslaved Faunus because they were part animals but you guys enslaved someone with a different colored skin."
Takashi looks down, "Yeah. Humanity is the worse no matter what world we're on. Always being assholes. Except you guys got superpowers."
"Unless you're from Star Trek?" Saya says.
Takashi looks at Saya with a smirk, "You actually watch Star Trek?" He giggles a little.
Saya gets defensive, "Shut up! Anyway, lets also talk about getting the C.A.M.P. over at the wasteland area."
Over at Team RWBY's room, Weiss is sitting on her bed crying as Ruby comforts her. She hugs her and pets her head to calm her down.
"There there." Ruby does her best to calm Weiss. "It'll all be fine."
"No it won't!" Weiss sobs and sniffles. "Its just that I can't take it anymore either! Living on a fucking planet where there is no mall! No latest fashion! No internet for me to scroll through when I'm bored! And now the man that I like is taking drugs even though no one is supposed to!" She curls up in a ball and cries some more.
That is when Willow enters the scene. "Weiss?" she says with a more motherly tone as she enters. "What happened?"
Weiss runs up to her mother and hugs her.
Willow hugs her, "There there sweetie. Tell me what happened."
Ruby says, "Weiss's boyfriend is taking drugs to be her dream man. Taking stuff like brain and muscle enhancers."
"Oh dear."
"I know right."
"Well can you excuse us for a moment, Ms. Rose. Sometimes in moments like these, a child needs their mother."
"Oh...right." Ruby leaves to leave the two alone.
"Oh, and Ms. Rose."
Ruby stops before going out the door and looks at Willow. "Hmm?"
"If you need anything, Ill be here."
Ruby smiles, "Thanks. And it's Ruby." Then walks out the door. She stands outside yet looks a little sad. She took a deep sigh as she looks down at the ground until Yang showed up.
"Hey, sis!" Yang says with a more cheerful attitude.
Ruby looks to her right, "Oh hey, Yang."
Yang leans against the wall with her sister. "Sooooo...what happened?"
"Neptune's doing drugs in order to impress Weiss. Team SSSN found out and chewed on him which made Weiss sad and now she is in there with her mother."
"Shit dude."
"You're telling me. But you know what?"
"What?"
"I'm starting to miss our own mother."
Yang looks at Ruby and looks shocked to hear something like that from her sister.
"Well...It has been years." Yang then starts to gaze down with a sad look.
"I know." Ruby replies. "Yet still though."
"But maybe there's still a chance she'll show up." Yang looks up with a smile with some optimism right before looking at Ruby. "Remember back at that school? Everyone that had died somehow came back to life right at their doorsteps all healthy and, well, alive."
Ruby blinks a few times while looking at Yang. "Oh yeah."
"So there could be a chance mom would come back. And who knows, probably uncle Qrow, dad, and..." she starts to gaze down with a bit of a disappointed look. "...my own mother."
Ruby notices that Yang doesn't look happy. "Is something wrong?"
"Wellllll..." Yang looks at Ruby. "Remember that time when we were on a train to chase Roman Torchwick?"
"Yeah."
"She was there and saved me."
"For real?!" Ruby is shocked to hear that. Yang's own mother was there and saved her from Neopolitan's finishing blow.
"Yeah. And then she appeared again over at Beacon Academy."
"Seriously?!"
"While there, she told me somethings. Like why she left."
"Like what?!" Ruby looks eager to learn more.
Yang told her more about the Branwen bandit tribe and what Qrow and Raven were at Beacon for. They were there to understand the ways of the Huntsmen so they can take them down. Qrow didn't want no part of the bandit lifestyle but Raven became the leader of the tribe. This was a major shock to Ruby to learn something like that.
Yang looks at her, "Can you keep it a secret, Rubes?"
Ruby nodded her head and keeps it a secret for now.
Over at Blue Base, Tucker is on his computer to check somethings on basebook. He scrolls through to see if he can find any naked women pics or at least something close to a porn video. He grunts as he keeps on scrolling through. All he can find are Donut's flower pics, Caboose showing off his Mantis wearing funny hats, Simmons sharing some of his research that he discovered, a bunch of Elites showing off their stuff, Junior showing pictures of a mine he is working at, and more and more stuff that Tucker isn't interested in. He couldn't find any porn related stuff at all. He found a link that is interesting, but it lead to a website for gay dudes.
He takes a deep sigh, "This sucks." He gets up from his rock chair away from the laptop and goes out of his cavernous room.
Tucker walks down the halls until he comes across Carolina and Tex walking down his way.
"Nope." he says to himself and walks back to his room until the two are gone. But that is when he eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Are you serious?" Carolina asks Tex in disbelief.
"Yes. Church decided to go out and search for more people on this planet we're in."
"So the guy is going solo."
Epsilon then pops up, "Actually, I think the guy wants to get away from everybody. Especially from Caboose."
Carolina then says, "Wish I could go. But the fucking bureaucrats denied me."
"Yeah, and we're the ones who saved Chorus. But nope. Donald and Kimball want us to stay here." Epsilon sounds a bit annoyed. "This is fucking bullshit."
There is a bit of a moment of silence before Tex says something.
"Wanna go rogue?"
"Get out of my head." Carolina responds.
"Unless you can find away to get out of this valley without alerting the guards and getting pass some of the most dangerous prehistoric creatures, where do we sign up?" says Epsilon.
As the two, or three, make a left at the corridor, Tucker comes out and is perplexed by what they said.
"Wait, Church is going? As is floating eyeball Church?" He turned his head over to the opposite direction, "Fuck this, I need to find him."
He runs down the hall until he comes across Kaikaina Grif.
"Whoa! Hey there!" she managed to stop Tucker in his tracks. "Do you have the time?" he sounds a bit seductive. "Because I really need someone to help me."
Tucker looks back and forth between Kaikaina and the hallway a few times. "You know what? Fuck it! Let's do it!"
"Yes! Wait, what were you going to do?"
"Doesn't matter because I'm bored, I'm horny, and I just want a good time."
"Then get in here!" She grabs Tucker's collar and yanks him into her room.
You can guess what happens next.
As for Alpha Church, he floats by with three new blue team members that are all white, black, and grey. Giving them a tour.
"And over here is Kaikaina Grif's room, but we call her Sister."
"Sounds weird." Wynn comments.
"Yeah, but hey, she's real easy going."
"Do you guys hear something?" Deuce says.
"Not really, but lets move on."
AN: Now for some questions.
Victor John Firefox: Wait and see. Just wait and see. Plus I'm pretty sure I gave everyone a hint or two.
Junior VB: True about democracy, but what kind of democracy? There are like eight different types. That should be the ultimate question for them when they do decide a government. As for Bioshock, check it out. It is a good game series but I strongly suggest that you read some of the works the games were inspired from such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. As a matter of fact, check out The Fountainhead movie from 1959. And don't let anyone else tell you what to do, what to think. Because they're fucking assholes and you should be entitled to your own opinion.
Now my question for you guys: Is anyone else excited about the next volume of RWBY coming soon? Because I saw the new trailer last night and it looks awesome!
