Chapter 54
AN: Since there is some questions about Team CRDL, I'm taking some time to let you know what they are up to.
As for kane, sorry dude, that was supposed to be a reference to all the AI's that went insane and try to kill people. Not to mention how desperate the guys are when having such a low budget. In other words, no Command and Conquer. Too bad that series is no longer around and EA can go fuck itself. When this series is over, I'm gonna review a few of the games in my next series that involves reviews and plot lines like Atop the 4th Wall.
The sequel to this story is gonna come out in late 2019 or early 2020.
Team CRDL are in the vault with everyone else because no one knows if there will be a retaliation from the people that brought them here on this planet. They are in the middle of a hall as they are huddled together while looking serious.
"Are you guys ready?" Cardin asks.
Russel smiles, "Oh yeah."
Sky smirks, "You bet I am."
Dove gives the thumbs up as he giggles.
"Alright then." Cardin turns and point his right finger down the hall. "Time to check out the women's showers!" At the end of the hall, the sound of running water hitting the floor with Cardin saying, "You know, make sure that they are safe."
"Hell yeah!" Dove says with his left fist clench, "Plus there are also some hot MILF's we should checkout and take care off when their husbands are dead. Then we could take care of them AND their daughters."
"I'm not really into moms," Sky says, "but I have to admit, they are smoking hot."
Russel speaks, "I'll get the daughters. But we have to wait until Salem's daughters are older. Because you have to be sick in the head to like kids."
Cardin says, "Yeah. Unlike that one freak we caught back at Beacon. That guy was a disgrace."
The team head down the hall and stop at the showers that has the 'Women's' sign on the top.
Sky kneels down and picks the lock, "Just give me a moment and we will get a sneak peak at the hottest babes in all of Remnant."
Cardin and Dove look excited but Russel notices that something is off.
Russel looks at the men's showers across from the women's and notices that something doesn't feel right. He looks back at his teammates, "Hey, isn't the women's showers supposed to be behind us?"
Cardin and Dove look back at both signs and they started to notice too.
"Yeah." Cardin agrees. "You're right. This seems a bit backwards."
The door opens and Team CRDL looks at the open door. What they see is a very angry looking Ghira in a towel with his eyes glowing red and giving off a black and hateful aura. Not only that Roman and Hazel are there too. The team is terrified by the sight of these three angry men as Sky drops the lockpicks.
Ghira looks at them while saying, "You're dead."
The four boys run away screaming in terror. The other door opens to reveal Salem, Kali and Sienna. Kali is trying to hold back her laughter with her fingers on her mouth.
Salem smiles, "Good thing we switched the signs. I knew those boys would be up to something."
"Good thing you caught that." Sienna praises Raven's intuition. "Boys will be boys."
Kali tries her best not to laugh.
Hazel looks at everyone, "Well, at least it got our minds off from what is happening."
NOW BACK TO THE BATTLE!
The group made their way towards a corridor as they manage to fight their way through a few guards while the rest are trying to stop Salem's forces. The group look at both directions and try to shoot at the soldiers. But everyone takes cover when the bad guys brought out their big weapons such as rocket launchers.
Tex shouts, "Cover! Cover!"
Everyone takes cover behind what every they can find which for some reason there are a lot of crates. Caboose took cover behind a very thin pipe. Then the rockets are fired at the crates that destroyed them which revealed everyone. Winter Season blows some wind to protect everyone with a spell.
"Shit!" Simmons shouts out in a panic, "Who made these crates?! Their junk!"
"Not to mention empty!" Sarge says. "I mean, who the hell leaves a bunch of empty crates around?!"
Lopez and Sanchez pull out rocket launchers and fire at the soldiers that were coming at them.
One of the soldiers in tek armor red says, "Fuck this! I'm outta here!" He looks at his fellow soldiers, "Anyone else!?"
All of them raised their hands in agreement.
"Alright, let's get the hell out and let the robots take care of this!"
Then all the soldiers evacuated.
"The fuck?" Tucker says as he notices the soldiers are leaving. "Are they...retreating?"
Caboose says, "Probably lunch time. And I forgot my sandwiches for this picnic."
"That would sound good right about now." Grif says. "I'm getting hungry."
"Now is not the time!" Taiyang says. "We have to find the head honcho before Grimm Salem gets here!"
"Agree!" Raven says. "This place is a superweapon and we must prevent her from activating it!"
"But where do we go?" Velvet asks.
Blake points at the door, "How about here?"
Everyone approach the door that has some strange symbols on it.
"Never seen symbols like those." Winter Season says as she takes a closer look at it.
"THEN LET'S GO!" Nora shouts as she gets impatient as she smash the door down with her hammer. The doors start flying on the other side of the room with Nora saying, "THERE! LET'S GO!" Nora then runs into the mysterious room.
Grif looks at the Huntsmen, "Is she always like this?"
Ren shakes his head, "You have no idea."
Nora shouts, "GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE!"
Everyone made it inside the room yet it looks more like a dead end. However, they noticed eight strange pods with their lids glowing light blue with heart monitors beeping. Everyone takes a closer look at them and see some people inside of them.
"The hell?" Qrow looks at the fourth pod and notices a girl with violet shortcut fringe hair in a bob and wearing a white witch hat that has some waves on the trim along with a purple flower. He reads, "Cinarum, Ragora. Team SLVR #4."
"Team SLVR?" Yang remembers something. "Wasn't that the team that got destroyed?"
Qrow looks at Yang, "Yeah, you're right."
"Found two more!" Summer Rose says. She is standing next to two more identical pods.
However, one has a boy wearing lighter grey bowler hat with a fringe sticking out from the side along with spikey dark grey hair. The other one has a young woman that has black portions of her hair tied neatly into a bun, with white bangs covering her ears, her right side, and pointing behind her, giving her hair an appearance akin to a swan.
Ruby approach, "Are they...also Huntsmen?"
"Not sure but we should let them out." Agent Tex says.
Epsilon Church pops up, "Yeah, I don't think we got the time."
"Agree." Raven agrees with the AI.
"But we cannot just leave them here." Jaune argues. "They might help us against the aliens that did this too them."
"Alright." Raven says. "Team CFVY, Simmons, and Grif stay behind and help these guys. Any of you had medical training?"
Simmons says, "Considering that we had a medic that is worthless as shit, I had sometime during our retirement."
"I'm fine with that." Sarge says as he cock his shotgun, "More killings for me."
Fox says, "We can provide some first aid with our aura."
"Good enough." Raven says. "Now let's move!"
The group had to leave the six behind as they try to find the central hub of where the ADMIN is. They made their way through many empty hallways as the sound of the battle keeps on getting closer. Along the way, they notice that the guards are gone yet they have to stay on their toes because there are some automated defenses. When they keep on getting closer, the Sentinels of Halo activated when they approach some sort of gravity lift elevator with a few of the sentinels falling apart. Adam sprung into action as he uses his semblance to cut them down. Ruby uses her semblance to destroy some of the Sentinels that appear behind Adam as she slices them.
Adam looks at Ruby, "Thanks."
Ruby smiles, "Sure thing!"
Pyrrha uses her semblance to decimate the remaining Sentinels. "Come on. Let's move!"
Everyone got on the elevator as the elevator lifts them up into the top floor. Everyone check their weapons to see how much they do have left before taking on the big man himself.
Sarge checks the radio, "Simmons. Grif. Do you copy?"
*static*
"Hello?"
*static*
"Radio must be busted."
Tucker check his radio, "Mine's on the fritz too."
"Must be some sort of radio jammer in this building." Tex states.
"Probably." Carolina somewhat agrees. "We'll check back on them later."
"Yeah." Donut agrees, "Because this place gives me the creeps for some odd reason. Maybe it's the decor."
Weiss looks at Donut and goes, "Really?"
"Just ignore him." Tucker says.
Back at the battlefield, some of the tek soldiers are fighting with everything they got as they fire volleys of cannon balls and lasers at Grimm Salem's forces. Her forces still press on as if they are possessed by dark forces while using every heavy armament that they got with mini nukes, rockets, demon-fire orbs, and heavy guns fired at the tek soldiers with many loosing troops left and right along with many beasts. Explosions, corpses and blood litter the beach with empty shells and cartridges scattered about. The Uruks manage to provide sneak attacks upon some of the troops on the cliffs that were low on element.
"Fuck!" says one of the red colored troops riding on a tek saddled rock drake, "I'm low on element!"
One of the blue armored soldiers says, "Even worse, some of our guys ran off! But I can't blame them! It's like fighting against the army of Cthulhu and hell themselves!" A brown minion surprised the soldier but he used a tek sword on it to kill it. "Dammit! I'm running low too! We need the Sentinels here now!"
"CAPTAIN!" shouts a purple armored tek soldier as he comes in from the sky. There is a sound of dread in his voice.
"What?!" the captain asks.
"LOOK!" He points at the sky.
Everyone looks at the sky as more rockets started to hit the battlefield. But they aren't rockets from the planet. They are from somewhere else.
"Oh shit." the captain says as the rockets approach, "That can't be good."
"What is it?" the soldier asks.
"Those goddamn ministers!" the captain says with anger in his tone of voice. He looks at the troops, "We need to get outta here, now!"
The rockets landed close to she shore as Prometheans from Halo started to pop-up by a strange device inside the rockets. The Prometheans have entered the fray as they try to take down everyone and everything on sight and I do mean everything.
Grimm Salem is busy using her powers on taking down the larger mounts until she sees the rockets coming down. She then uses her powers to destroy some of them but many managed to get pass and land on many troops and beasts alike with the Prometheans being produced. Then the Prometheans start to kill the tek soldiers and Grimm Salem's troops as they appear. Destroying everything in their path.
Grimm Salem sighs, "So much to do and very little time. Oh well." She conjures a black fireball with her left hand, "I do believe the proper proverb is 'If you want something done right, you better do it yourself.'"
"MY LADY!" a Legion soldier approach, "We received word that some invaders are inside the structure! They are not our own!"
Grimm Salem looks at the Legion soldier all surprised, "What?!"
The group inside manage to make it to the top level as the elevator stops.
"This is it!" Washington and Taiyang say at once.
Everyone is on each side of the large doors with a sign that says 'ADMIN' on it.
Epsilon Church appears, "Hold on, I'll unlock it." He went in and turns the red lights to green and opens the door automatically. "Got it!"
Everyone moved into the room with white tile floors and something akin to the inside of a ship.
"Whoa." Tucker says, "Deja vu."
"It does feel like we're on the Charon ship." Sarge says.
However the only difference is that there are no trophies nor a big window to outer space.
"There!" Ruby says as she points her weapon at a desk with a bald man wearing a black suit with the light shining down on him on the other end of the room that just turned on.
Everyone point their weapon, including Taiyang that grabbed a tek rifle, at a man who looks similar to Agent 47 from Hitman but his face is hidden.
"Alright asshole!" Agent Washington sounds piss. "Tell us you who are, right now!"
Before the man can answer, his image flickered which turns out that he is a hologram.
"The fuck?" Tucker says.
"Okay, that is weird." Caboose says. "Is he an AI like Church? What does AI mean?"
Amber looks at the chair, "What is going on?"
"Are we being setup?" Emerald asks.
Cinder says, "Stay on your guard!"
The hologram disappeared as the door open behind the desk opens to reveal someone with spiky grey-blue hair with a balding spot sitting on a chair looking at the monitors on the screen as they get turned off. The man spins the chair to reveal-
"*jumps from chair* WUBBA LUBBA DUB-DUB! Haha! *gives a double birdie* A complete and total surprise bi*burp*tches! Woo! Big reveal on who the mastermind is! Which I'm pretty sure some of you found out earlier but thanks to 99% of you re*burp*aders not spoiling it. But who gives a *fart* shit! Haha! See you all in the conclusion!"
Everyone just stand there looking confuse.
AN: That's right! Rick fucking Sanchez from Rick and Morty is the ADMIN. The reason will be revealed in the last chapter in a big chase scene.
iceshadows: Thanks a lot man. Truth is, I'm actually trying to work on a script of a series that I hope to release soon and Fanfiction actually makes good practice. Thanks man, your appreciation is appreciated.
Guest: Thanks dude. But I'm not gonna reveal what is coming out in the sequel. It will ruin the surprise.
