Chapter 34
AN: *short cough* I made a little discovery about something. I recently found out that the Creation Club was made official by Bethesda and they aren't mods. I promise myself no mods and I thought that the Creation Club was one of them, but not. So, I will be adding stuff from the Creation Club. But no mods though. (Unless it involves Fallout Miami and Fallout: The Frontier along with a few ARK mods [But need information for these]) Now continuing with the story.
BICORN: New test subjects have arrived. Continuing monitoring.
Back at the so-called 'ARK' area, sometime in the afternoon, some lightning struck the grassland areas multiple times among the shrubs, grass, and other plants yet nothing is set on fire.
A man with graying black hair, spiky hair with a slight stubble along his jawline and dulling red eyes started gasping for air. "Holy shit!" he says as he scratches the right side of his head. "The hell have I been drinking last night!?" He looks down at his body, "And where the hell are my clothes?" He then notices a strange device under his left arm. "The fuck is this thing?" He scratches it but doesn't come off.
"Qrow?" says a voice to the right.
Qrow look towards his right side and sees a very familiar face. "Tai?" Qrow says with a raised eyebrow. "The hell happened to you? And where are your clothes?"
"You tell me!" Taiyang shrugs, "One minute I was watering my garden before everything went monotone and boom! I ended-up here."
Somewhere else, a woman with long, undone blonde air and green eyes woke up face down in the ground. She lifted her head and sees a very familiar face just lying on the ground on his back with his head facing her, but unconscious. The man has black hair with some silver and gray.
"James?" she says while her vision tries to focus. She crawls over to him yet notices something different.
The man opens his eyes and sees a very familiar face, "Glynda?" He sat up, "What happened?" General James Ironwood put his right hand on his head put notices something different. He look at the right side of his body and it is all flesh and blood. No trace of any cybernetics at all. "Where did my augmentations go? Other than that, why am I naked?"
Somewhere close, a woman with long jet black hair and red eyes started to wake up. "Gods." she wipes her eyes yet speaks in a groggy tone. "The hell happened last night?"
"Raven?" Qrow and Taiyang say in unison.
Raven removes her right hand and sees Taiyang and Qrow in front of her. She is just as shocked as them in a very unfamiliar place. "You guys are here?" Raven then looked down, "And where did my clothes go?" Then feels around with her hands on the ground, "Where did my sword go?!"
"Ah~!" A sexual moan was heard in the grass. Vernal, a member of Raven's tribe sat right up with her face all red.
"Where am I?" says the voice of another woman.
Qrow, Taiyang, and Raven immediately recognize that voice as they slowly turned their heads towards the north and see someone that is very familiar. A woman with hair gradating from black to red that is choppy shoulder length...and have silver eyes. Taiyang's jaw dropped along with Qrow's as they see someone who was supposed to be dead alive.
Close by, a woman with wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style, a dark complexion, tiger stripes on her body, and tiger ears started to wake-up with a man saying, "Sienna! Sienna!"
She opened her orange eyes and sees a man to her left with black hair and beard along with yellow eyes and hairy chest. To her right, she sees a woman with short black hair, black cat ears, and yellow eyes.
"Are you alright?" the woman with cat ears asked out of worry.
Sienna Khan, the leader of the White Fang (This is before Volume 3 in case you guys forgotten), blinked a few times before responding. "I think so." she says while looking at the two. "Where are we?" Then she looked at her body. Out of embarrassment, she quickly covers her exposed naughty base while having a big blush on her face. She then noticed that the two are naked too. "Why are we naked!?" asked out of shock.
"HEEELLLOOOO!" says a young man with light-brown eyes and dull-blue hair in an undercut hairstyle, with the long unshaved hair swept to his left and hanging slightly in his face. Not to mention covering his parts with his left hand. "CAN I GET SOME HELP!? I AM IN COMPLETE DISTRESSED!"
Not too far, a man with a tan complexion, messy brown hair, and hazel eyes started to wake-up in a shrubbery area while lying on his back. "Where am I?" he says softly to himself. But then notices that he is holding hands with someone next to his left. He looks and is awestruck by what he sees. It is a woman with pale blonde hair and normal white skin complexion. A tear formed under his right eye along with his mouth quivering. He takes his right hand and rub the back of his fingers on her cheek. The woman wakes up and reveals her light blue eyes and white scleras.
"Ozma?" she says with a weak and tired voice. She shifted her eyes around, "Was everything that had happened a nightmare?"
Ozma starts to cry a little and hugs her. "Yes." he says, "It was a living nightmare. But it is over now."
They heard someone yawn just two feet away from them. A child-like yawn. They both looked above the position where they're laying down and see four little girls sleeping in a bush. From another bush to the northeast, someone with light blue skin, elongated pointy ears, long and flowing dark blue hair, and light blue eyes with dark blue sclera. She looks around and sees the children and their parents on the shrubby ground. This woman, for some reason is now seven feet rather than twelve, is confused on what is going on.
"Okay." she says, "I know that I'm from the Relic of Knowledge but can someone explain what this place is and what is going on?"
Everyone that was teleported gather around near a tree while made some clothes out of leaves to cover their private areas. The people that have gathered are Summer Rose, Raven Branwen, her brother Qrow, Taiyang Xiao Long, Vernal, Maria Calavera (for some reason has her augmented eyes), Ozma, Salem, their four daughters, Ghira Belladonna, his wife Kali, Ozpin, Peter Port, Glynda Goodwitch, Bartholomew Oobleck, James Ironwood, Ilia Amitola, Henry Marigold, Leonardo Lionheart, Lisa Lavender, Sienna Khan, Vernal, Mata, Saber Rodentia, Trifa, Yuma, Tukson (Tukson, Trifa and Yuma suffer from amnesia), Dee & Dudley, a female Menagerie guard, the blacksmith, the Higanbana waitress, that one huntsman from Shion Village, and even more surprisingly An & Li Ren. Everyone started to murmur on what is going on and how did they get there.
AN: For the female Menagerie guard, I'm gonna name her Kala Tidewell (Kala means black and Tidewell is actually a reference to the voice actress Tidwell). For the Blacksmith, Diqiu Irons (Diqui is traditional Chinese for dirt). The huntsmen that died in Shion Village, Gure Saad (Gure is Japanese for gray and Saad is the same last name as the voice actor which is Arabic for felicity, happiness, prosperity, success, and good luck. Kinda ironic considering what happened to the guy in the show). And the Higanbana Waitress will be Aka Lavivora (Aka is Japanese for Red and Lavivora refers to the genus of robins so in translation, her name means Red Robin). As for the children of Salem and Ozma, I think I'm gonna name them after gemstones. The one in green is gonna be name Jade, the one in pink is gonna be name Morgan as in Morganite, the yellow one will be Citri as in Citrine, and the one in blue will be name Lapis as in lapis lazuli. Dee's last name will be Alexandrite and Dudley's last name will be Guerrero.
"Everyone!" Ozpin says from the top of a tree. And this is the Ozpin that doesn't have Ozma. "Listen up!" Everyone turned their attention towards Ozpin. "I know that we have been transported into another world-"
"What makes you say that?" Mata shouts from the crowd.
Ozpin points at the sky and everyone turned to see it. What they see are three moons orbiting the planet. Everyone gasps at the sight in realization that they are stuck on another world. Some of the people started to panic and freak out by this startling revelation. That isn't until Taiyang noticed something in the distance.
"HEY!" he yelled and pointed his finger. He points at some sort of wall being built close to a slopping plateau. On top of that, there is an oddly colored ship on some rubble. "THERE'S SOMEONE HERE!"
"Oh thank gods!" Lisa say out loud. "They better have some way to get us back home!"
"Wait!" Raven grabs Lisa's right shoulder. "How do we know that they're friend or foe?"
"I'll check it out." Qrow volunteers. "I'll be back in a bit." Qrow transform into a crow and flies towards the newly constructed wall that is being built.
From the air, he can see the newly built castle walls being built by Team JNPR. He can also see a few robots armed to with heavy weapons patrolling from one side of the cliff to another. Qrow can also see Ciel and Penny working on making a few markers to expand the settlement. On the top of the cliffs; Team CRDL, Team NDGO, and Team ABRN are gathering all the resources from the top while Oscar, Winter, and Willow plan out on what goes where. Team RWBY are working on making their new home out of stone foundations and using the cargo containers as walls. The two members of Team FNKI with Team CFVY and Team SSSN work on making a new ramp that leads to the beach with some sort of elevator. Team FAME and Team BRNZ work on bringing up the last of the supplies they brought up from the vault. Zwei, Sieben, and Whitely work on making a new warehouse for all the stuff the two teams brought back from the vault. The Malachite twins are busy with the cooking with some new cooking stations along with setting up some new tavern made of wastelander settlement objects. Qrow is completely surprise when he sees some of the people he knows right before flying back.
He flew back at the crowd right before turning back into his human form. He started chuckling before saying, "You wouldn't believe who is here. The kiddies from different academies are here along with a few others."
Summer Rose immediately ran off towards the settlement by herself in a hurry. She knows exactly what Qrow meant as she just dashes off.
"SUMMER!" Taiyang yells with his hands cupped close to his mouth. "WAIT! Dang it!" Taiyang follows Summer as fast as he could.
Raven just rolls her eyes right before looking at Qrow. "Coming?"
"I don't see why not."
Ozpin moved his way through the crowd, "Come on. Lets see what our students have discovered on this world." He looks at Leonardo and nodded his head.
Leonardo nodded back. He looked at the crowd, "Alright everyone, lets go!"
Summer dashes past the sentry bots and Team JNPR.
Nora and Ren saw the woman running past with Nora asking Ren, "Was that a time traveling Ruby Rose?"
"I think not."
Team RWBY look at their new home close to the edge of the cliffs close to the beach. Their new home is made of containers along with the doors. It has two floors to it with a deck along with some of the sides painted red, white, black, and yellow. Not to mention that it also has the RWBY six panel flag on the roof and the doors are made of container doors.
"Are you sure about using the containers is a good idea?" Weiss asks while looking a little worry about the structure.
"This is only a test structure." Yang says with her arms crossed. "Plus shipping containers are supposed to be weather proof."
"But we forgot to put in the windows." Blake pointed out.
Yang takes another look at the structure and realizes she forgot to put in windows. "Fuck!"
Ruby started laughing right before everyone else does. That is until Summer approached. Ruby hears some heavy panting as she looked at someone that was very dear to her. Ruby's eyes widen along with Yang's as they see Summer Rose alive. Ruby is completely speechless as a few tears started to stream from her face. "Mom?" she says in surprise. "Is it really you?"
Summer takes a deep breath. "Yes, Ruby." Summer slowly shakes her head, "You have grown so much."
Ruby starts to cry as she runs up and gives her resurrected mother a hug. Summer comforts her daughter with a hug and a pat on the head. Yang is completely and utterly shock. Someone she idolized as a child, who has been dead for over 10 years, is back into her life. Yang runs up and joins in the hugging and tears. Summer hugs her too as the two girls cry their eyes out for her return.
"It's alright my girls." Summer holds Yang and Ruby tight in her arms to comfort them. "Let it all out."
Taiyang catches up and is even more surprise to see both of his daughters here. "Ruby? Yang?" he interrupts the moment.
Ruby and Yang look at their father wearing a loincloth of leaves and ivy.
"Dad?" Yang says in surprise. "What the heck!?"
Qrow and Raven then joined in with Raven surprised to see her biological daughter, Yang, in such a strange place.
Over at the walls, Jaune sees the crowd of people coming in. "The hell?" Jaune says as he sees the people getting closer from on top of a castle wall with hoarding.
Pyrrha joins in. "What?" she asks Jaune, "What do you see?"
"People." he responds. "People from Remnant!" he starts to get excited.
Ren just puts in a behemoth gateway and gate, notices the people coming. Some of them were surprised by how fast the structure took to build and are a little disturbed. He noticed two very familiar people in the crowd as his jaw dropped. Li Ren stopped and looked to his left with his eyes locked on someone that looks familiar to him, but older.
"Dear?" An asks. "What is it?" She looks at the direction Li is looking at and sees him. Her eyes widen as she gasps with both hands over her mouth. She lowers her hands, "Lie?"
Lie Ren is completely and utterly speechless, literally. He cannot find the words to say as if he is seeing ghosts, but they aren't. They are alive yet haven't aged since the last time Lie Ren saw them.
An runs up to her son in tears and hugs him very tightly. Lie slowly hugs his mother as he tries to process everything that is happening right now.
Li Ren approaches his teenage son and is completely surprise how old he has gotten. "Lie?" he asks. "I...I can't believe it. Y-you're all grown up."
Lie starts to stutter, "D-dad? I...I..."
Before he can say anything An just grabs Li's beard and says, "Oh just join in!" She hugs then both very tightly as a few tears fall from her cheeks.
Nora sniffs a little while looking. "That is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. Not since pancakes."
The Ren Family look at Nora with An and Li looking a bit perplexed.
"Wait." Li says while looking at Nora. "I know you. You were the little girl that was bullied by three boys."
"Yep!" Nora says with a nod right before standing proudly with both hands on her hips. "I am also your son's fiancee!"
"WHAT!?" Li said in utter shock. Lie Ren's face started to turn red and is just as shocked as his father.
An squealed in excitement, "OH MY GOD!" He looks at Lie, hugging him while jumping up and down. "YOU REALLY HAVE GROWN!" Then she starts crying, "MY SWEET BABY BOY HAVE GROWN UP SO MUCH!"
"NO WAIT!" Lie says in distress. "I SWEAR THAT NORA AND I AREN'T GETTING MARRIED!"
Over back at Team RWBY and hopefully the reinstated Team STRQ, Kali and Ghira arrived and get to see their daughter, Blake.
Blake looks at them and is utterly surprise, "Mom? Dad?"
"Blake?" Kali is just as surprised as Blake along with Ghira. Kali runs up to Blake and gives her a hug. "My baby girl." Kali kept on squeezing tighter and tighter to point where Blake has a difficulty breathing.
Ghira joined in and hugs them both extremely tight. He then starts crying, "My sweet little angel is alright! I'm so happy!"
Blake then speaks in a suffocated tone of voice, "Can't...breathe..."
Both of them stopped hugging as Blake gasps for air. When she gets some air back into her lungs, she smiles gently at her parents then gives them a more subtle hug. The both of them gave her a more gentler hug than before as they are happy to be back together again.
Over at Penny's team, James Ironwood approaches his students. Both Ciel and Penny stop what they were doing and give him a salute.
"Ms. Polendina. Ms. Soleil." Ironwood addresses them in military fashion.
"General Ironwood, sir!" Ciel speaks in military fashion as well. "It is great to see you again!"
"Likewise. At ease." Both Penny and Ciel stop saluting. However, James noticed the scar on Penny's left leg. The scar looks like a real scar and doesn't show any of Penny's original robotics sticking out. "What happened to you, Ms. Polendina?"
"A giant shark called a megalodon took a nip at me." Penny answers. "Hurts a little but my aura has healed it up to a point."
"I see." James looks at Ciel. "Ms. Soleil, can you find Ms. Schnee for me?"
"Which one?"
"Winter Schnee."
"At once." Ciel left to go get Winter while leaving the two alone.
James looks at Penny. "We can talk freely now."
"General Ironwood. Sir. I don't know how, but I'm a real girl now. But I'm guessing you figured that out with your augmentations gone."
"Correct." James seem unphased by this revelation. "My guess is that beings that have a soul are given organic bodies rather than synthetics. Yet that elderly woman seem to kept her augmented eyes." James cross his arms, "Very interesting."
While thinking, Winter approaches the general. She gives him a salute and says in military fashion, "General Ironwood, sir!"
James looks at Winter, "At ease." He then looks at the girls respectively, "Schnee. Soleil. Polendina. I need a full report on where we are, how we got here, and..." he shows his implant, "...tell me what IS this."
Sometime later and everyone explained what is going on, and everyone got some proper clothes on, everyone has gathered around a scaffolding tower with Ruby about to make an announcement. Ruby is a little nervous because of stage fright.
Yang pats Ruby on the back. "It's okay sis. You can do it."
Ruby gulps as she looks at her sister. "But I've never done it to a crowd this large before." Ruby is completely nervous about being on stage. "To a tiny crowd I can do, but this is a large crowd."
Yang turns Ruby's head, facing the ramp. "Listen up. Straighten your back. Eyes forward. Deep breath. And relax."
Ruby does all those things that Yang said. "Okay. *deep breath* I got it."
Ruby marches up towards the scaffolding tower to address to the new people that appeared. Summer got a palm leaf and wrote 'Go Ruby!' on it and holds it up. Everyone look at Ruby as she made it to the top. Ruby looks down at the crowd, having butterflies in her stomach. But she sees the sign her mother made so it made it a bit bearable.
Ruby takes a very deep breath before speaking. "Everyone! Listen up! I know that being on a different planet is scary, unpredictable, and terrifying. Because some of us were scarred as well when we first got here. This world has a mix of video game and real world logic that might be part of some experiment involving survival. There is no Grimm, but that doesn't mean the place is safe. There are giant reptiles, alien technology, zombies, magic, alien creatures, and many things out there that we haven't encountered yet. We even encountered a few friendly people and not so friendly. But those people prefer to either help some people that're still lost and terrified as we are or set up a settlement somewhere out there to see what else is there that we haven't discovered. As for us though, we need to stick together. If we stick together as a whole, we can survive. Yet there are sometimes that we need to go out to get some stuff or to scout out some new areas. We can do it in teams or in a group. That is all. Any questions?"
Raven asks from the crowd, "What kind of government is this settlement?"
Ruby then says, "We already took a vote before the other groups left."
FLASHBACK
Everyone has gathered around with a few benches on the ground with everyone trying to decide what kind of government they should have. Penny told them no communism or fascism due to what happened to those kinds of governments before. Everyone did decide on democracy but what else.
"I say matriarchy." Yang declares.
"I say patriarchy you dumb bitch!" Cardin insults Yang.
Yang's eyes start to turn red with the sound of fire crackling while angrily getting close to Cardin. "MATRIARCHY!"
Cardin glares back at Yang while also getting angrily close to Yang. "PATRIARCHY!"
"MATRIARCHY!"
"PATRIARCHY!"
"Settle down, children." Willow says to Cardin and Yang in a more refine matter. "As much as I appreciate matriarchy, but there must be something for a group. Not a single person."
Nora then says, "I say monarchy! Ren gets to be king and I get to be his queen!"
"NO!" everyone shouted including Ren.
"Aw man!"
Ciel suggests, "How about military democracy?"
Weiss points out, "We're not a military."
Ciel turns her head and looks down, "Oh yeah."
"How about anarchy?" Reese suggests.
"You can't vote anarchy!" Blake says.
"Worth a shot." Reese shrugs.
"Oligarchy?" Sage is a bit unsure as he shrugs.
"How about tribalism?" Sun asks.
But Weiss says, "So we can be dirt eating savages? Hell no."
Jaune then blurts out, "How about malarkey?"
Pyrrha then says, "Um, Jaune. Malarkey isn't a type of government. It just means meaningless talk and nonsense."
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Malarkey won."
Qrow does a facepalm on what he just heard. James just grunted at the idiocy of what everyone voted for.
Salem then raises her hand and questions, "Did you say something about magic?"
"Of course!" Ruby seems really excited as she shows her left hand being on fire while there is a swirling purple and black vortex of some sort in the other. She shots a firebolt out of her left hand into the air which awe struck everyone while able to summon a purple transparent axe in the other.
Henry Marigold jumped up with his right hand raised, "I WANNA LEARN SOME MAGIC!"
"Easy there!" Yang says from the bottom of the tower. "We just need to get some more spell tomes at a ruin city during a scavenging run."
Dee than asks, "And what was that part about zombies?"
Ruby clears her throat. "Don't worry about those. They only exist in a place called, Dead Canyon. That is where one of the groups went to in order to save some of the other survivors that are trapped there as well. Buuuuut it is also where we encountered some bad guys. Anymore questions?"
No one said anything for a while until Dudley asks, "When can we get started building our homes?"
"That would be Ciel and Zwei's department."
Ciel stands in front of the tower, "Everyone, follow me and I'll help you set up your new homes."
Everyone follows Ciel with Ruby sighing in relief as she steps down from the scaffolding. At the bottom, Summer is there with a smile.
Summer gives Ruby a hug, "Nice work, Ruby."
Ruby hugs her mom but ended-up throwing up on her new white t-shirt.
Summer just smiles and pats Ruby's back. "Yup. That's my baby."
Close to the cliffs are Ozma and Salem as they look at the sea with their children.
Salem looks at Ozma and asks, "So, what do we do now?"
Ozma looks at Salem and gives her his hand, "Whatever we can."
Salem takes Ozma's hand as they hold them while enjoying the ocean view.
Over at some place with scorching sands under a hot sun, a woman wrapped in loin cloth taken from a dead body behind her walks on this heated landscape that could cause blood to evaporate in seconds. The woman has deathly white complexion that are covered in deep red and purple veins, red irises on black scleras, and long white hair. But something is a little different about her. She has razor sharp fangs instead of teeth, her black pupils are more slit, and her black nails are replaced with black claws. Behind her are Arthur Watts, Tyrian Callows, Hazel Rainart, and Adam Taurus who has his eyes shielded with his right hand. Grimm Salem and her underlings do have the same implants as everyone else, but they also have strange enigmatic serpentine golden bracelets with a green jewel on it. They traveled across the sands until they see rocky mountains across up ahead. The Land of Exiles.
It is night time over at the Legion's base of operations close to where the Reds and Blues are stationed at. They set up a campsite a few miles away from the gate with many tents along with a few of the remaining legionnaires on patrol. In the big tent, Legate Judicator tries to make plans for his next attack. He sent out a few scouts earlier to see if there is anything else to get around and ambush the Reds and Blues from the mountains. He sent out 20 scouts out there, but only 3 of them came back. The furious and ashamed Legate looks at the map on the table and tries to strategies his next move.
He says to himself, "If we had a few more slaves with us, I would have a tunnel dug into the mountains. But that would take too long. Might need an armored club-tail for more efficiency." Legate Judicator looks at a centurion. "Centurion!" he yells.
The centurion stepped up and salutes, "Yes Legate Judicator!"
"Send a messenger to Caesar! We need reinforcements!"
"Yes, sir!" The centurion leaves the tent as Judicator looks at the map.
"Now then, where should be tunnel be at?"
SHANK! The centurion that Legate Judicator sent out re-enters the tent with a knife through his throat. Legate notices it as he pulls out his bumper sword. Then someone with a buffed physique, long black hair, and plenty of scars on him while wearing a Cimmerian steel tasset and Cimmerian steel boots but no armor while showing off his chest. It is Nonan, wielding his mighty longsword that is Conan's Atlantean Sword.
"Hello little man." the barbarian smirks at his opponent.
"Nonan!" Legate Judicator takes a battle stance. "You fucking dog. At last we meet in battle!"
Nonan takes a battle stance as well. "Any last words, masked loser?"
"Screw you."
The both charge and takes swings with their mighty swords that slam into each other with intense strength behind them. They strike blow after blow with parry after parry as they try to kill each other with a few of those slashes cutting up the tent. They keep on slamming their swords at each other with Nonan knocking down one of the torches that set the tent on fire. By either pride, honor, or just plain stubbornness; they kept on fighting as the tent burns with them inside. Sparks from their swords fly with none of them backing down. They fight with all their fury with a piece of the tent burning down on top of them. It blinded the Legate which left Nonan wide open for a decapitation. Before Legate Judicator's freshly cut head hits the ground, Nonan kicks up the head with his left foot, grab it, put his sword away, grab the map, and run out before the tent completely burns down. Copper and Fang's mouths are bloodied from killing Legate Judicator's pet, Cacus. Whose bloody remains are on the rocks behind them with members of Nonan's strike force holding bags of the heads of their enemies. Nonan raised the Legate's head and does a victory scream. His forces raise their hands or weapons and do a victory scream with their leader.
Now...the Reds and Blues are gonna deal with a new problem. One more cunning and more strategic than Caesar's brutality.
AN: Hey guys! Here is another chapter and won't be a new one till after New Year's. But here is some reviews I got.
FanGirl: Who doesn't love that little corgi? Although he is more adorable in his chibi form.
Don Orbit: Nice JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference for Nonan back on Chapter 19. Very cute.
I know that the chapter seems rushed (and early) but things at work is a little out of hand because of the holidays. And that's why there won't be any new chapters in December. Anyways; Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Oh and before I forget: Do you think I should include a few fan-made RWBY characters like Mark Zhang's Team SLVR. Last time I try to make my own RWBY teams, they kinda suck. But you guys decide.
