Chapter 55
Where we last left off, the group found the ADMIN which turns out to be Rock Sanchez of Rick and Morty. Everyone is a little confuse because this is not what they were expecting. They were probably expecting a dark and creepy decrypted old crone or some cyborg attached to some machines. But no. Just some crazy, lanky, mad scientist from a cartoon. There is a bit of an odd silence.
"Who the fuck is this guy?" Tucker breaks the silence.
Caboose says, "That's probably some mad scientist who is probably trying to steal technology from some benefactors for his own personal gain who just so happens to be from some cartoon from the 21st century."
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!" Rick says while pointing at Caboose. "We have a winner!"
Everyone looks at Caboose and are surprised with Tucker going, "Holy shit. How the fuck did he get that right?"
"Doesn't matter!" Ruby points her Crescent Rose at Rick, "Time to end this!" While doing so, Epsilon secretly hack into Rick's computers.
Rick looks smug, "Yeah, well... You're gonna have to catch me first!" Rick jumps onto his chair and it immediately dropped through a secret passage way under it.
"HEY!" Yang says with her eyes red and tries to catch him. But in vain as Rick goes way down.
"AFTER HIM!" Taiyang ordered everyone.
"LET'S GO!" Tex agrees.
Rick goes down his little fun slide while strapped into his chair with his bottom eyelids and mouth started to expand with the blowing of the high speeds right to his face as he swirls through his high speed slide for a good solid minute until he stopped at some sort of metal door. With his mouth and eyelids all flappy, he shakes his head to get them back to normal before he unbuckles himself and jumps on the concrete platform. He reach into the inside of his lab coat pocket and pulls out a red keycard that says 'ADMIN Level - ADMIN USE ONLY'. He swipes the keycard at the door and the door opens. When the door opens, turns out that it leads to some sort of cloning room as vats of clones of himself with his real body in the center that is in blue fluids. The clones are in green fluids. He attached the diodes into his brain and his real self started bursting out of the vat while his clone dies while naked. Rick ran out the door naked as everyone started crashing down on the platform just outside the door.
Tex bursts through the door with her fists before pulling out her assault rifle. She looks around and goes, "What the fuck?"
Everyone else entered the room after recovering from a few injuries while sliding down. When they look around, they see the hundreds of clones of Rick Sanchez and they are a little mortified...especially that they are all naked with many of the girls covering their eyes so they don't have to look.
Qrow looks around and says, "Are these...clones?"
Jaune responds while looking at the identical looking men in vats, "Definitely clones." He is feeling a little morbid.
Yang says with her eyes covered, "Can we go?! I do not want to know what a naked elderly man looks like! Let a lone copies of 'em!"
Rick continues to run as he then takes a blue slide down as Epsilon tries to seal it, but too late. Rick continues to slide down until he enters a room that contains the computer, B.I.C.O.R.N. He cracks his fingers "Alright. Better make it fast."
Rick jumps on the top of the thing that looks like something from the movie Aliens but a bit more like machine than organic. Rick climbs his way up the 20 foot tall thing as he makes it way towards the strange, large, brain-like thing in its casing with some wiring on it. He pulls out a laser knife (with a blue blade) as he removes while having some sort of blue hologram on his left eye. He removes as many of the wires as he can until he hears a familiar voice.
"...Rick...? Is that...you?" It sounded like a whiny teenage boy yet a bit on the groggy side. It is coming from the device.
"Hang on, Morty!" Rick continues to remove the wires, "Almost got it!"
"Grandpa?" says a female teenage coming from the same device. "Where...how...?"
"Dad?" Another groggy sounding voice came from the device. This time, it is a woman.
"Hold on...almost...got it!" Rick yanked the synthetic brain from the main computer as it shuts down once it is removed.
"What the hell!?" Morty now sounds more alert. "What happened?! Where am I?!"
Summer says, "Why can't I move!?" Summer sounds like she is panicking.
"Dad! What's going on?!" Beth sounds scared.
Rick holds the device tightly in his arm. "It'll be alright, guys. I'm here. Just need to get you guys out of this place and we can go home." He holds the synthetic brain device up, "I already preserved your bodies and manage to cheat those ministers of this bizarre universe of everything they got. I can get you guys back, use the new tech, and then kill Jerry."
"You can't do that!" Morty sounds like a moralist.
Rick sounds a little grumpy, "HEY! He's the reason why you guys are in this mess because he owes what was left of the Federation!"
"Oh..." Summer says, "Then fuck him!"
"Alright, you win, Rick." Morty backs down.
Beth sounds a little threatening, "Make sure you twisted him inside out in the worst way possible dad."
"So this is what you've been doing." a voice came from behind Rick.
Rick turns around and gets a little freaked out by Caboose. "Jesus fuck! When did you show up!?" Luckily he didn't drop the brain. "Oh yeah, that's right. You're the guy wh-who can break the fourth wall."
"I don't like breaking walls. They protect us from harm unless some moron broke it down."
"I don't have time for this. Just go back and- He just disappeared." Caboose just disappeared right in front of Rick. "Jesus, how did he do that? I-I-I know that he can break the fourth wall but what the fuck."
"There he is!" Ruby shouted as he leads the gang and Rick notices.
"Shit!" Rick presses the hologram on his eye and a whole bunch of holograms of Ricks started to show up as the real Rick manage to sneak past.
"Oh for the love of-" Nora smacks her forehead right before shooting electricity with her hammer at the holograms to make them disappear.
Rick runs down the hall as a tornado of red, white, black and yellow rose petals started coming right at him. He pulls out a remote and hits a button that causes a trap door to open as he falls down. The tornado known as Team RWBY stops as all four of them stand at each direction of the trap door.
"Nuts!" Ruby shouted.
Tex shows up, "Then come on! After him!"
Carolina radios Epsilon, "Church, where is he?!"
"Hang on! There is 700 years worth of data and encryptions on this thing!"
Rick slides down his trap door shoot until he comes across some area where there are chickens with Morty's head saying 'bawk' in Morty's voice. He continues to run until he gets pass the door. His pursuers continue the chase.
Jaune looks around and is a little freaked out, "What the fuck?"
Winter Season continues to run, "We'll ask questions later!"
Rick then continues down the hall and tries to close a few blast doors but are completely faulty. He continues to run until he made it to some sort of room that says 'Emergency Office'. Which is what the signs says. He enters with the group finally catching up with him. However, something started to cut its way through the hallway walls. They stop as the blade tries to breach.
"What is that?" Tucker asks.
Sarge loads his shotgun, "A new enemy to fight!"
"Already?" Taiyang asks. "Because I don't think we are ready."
Pyrrha prepares her rifle, "Best to take it out before it takes us out."
As the blade pierce through and cut a hole. The wall comes down and reveals a Promethean Knight screaming down at them.
Sarge orders, "OPEN FIRE!"
Everyone armed with range weapons shot at the Promethean Knight. The Promethean Knight went down like a bitch.
"The fuck was that?!" Qrow asks.
Tucker takes a closer look on what the hell is going on outside and says, "Son of a bitch."
Everyone takes a look outside and see all the carnage that is happening. Whatever it is left of the tek soldiers are trying to cover their retreat as both the Prometheans and Salem's army try to fight for dominance. Bullets, plasma, lasers, rockets, fireballs and arrows being shot at as the Promethean Knights, Watchers, and Crawlers litter the place with some even armed with heavy ordinance. Salem's makeshift army tries to overpower the techno-invaders but they just keep on spawning. The place is completely being destroyed by the two warring factions and one cowardly one.
Caboose points at the right, "Is that the witch town lady right there?"
Everyone looks at where Caboose is pointing at and see Salem tearing shit up. She made a giant, flaming, phoenix-like thing that destroyed another wave of rockets crashing down. She then uses her power to completely crush up to 30 Promethean Knights and 10 Watchers with some telekinetic power as they are covered in purple auras as they start to become destroyed and twisted.
"We need to move, NOW!" Raven says as everyone gets to the door.
Epsilon then appears at the front of the door, "Sorry, took longer than expected. There is a lot of shit in here."
"Just open the door." Raven ordered.
Cinder whispers to Emerald and Mercury, "Is it me or does that woman at the battle look familiar?"
Emerald whispers back, "I think I do remember her because she gives shivers down my spine."
"Same here." Mercury whispers.
The door opens to reveal a similar office from before.
"Deja vu." Adam says as he sheath his sword and looks around.
"Man." Tucker looks around, "Am I the only one getting a repeat vibe?"
Caboose says, "I know. This is like memory lane but less confusing."
Lopez looks at Caboose, "How is this less confusing?"
"Well, where is he?" Ren says as he looks around.
Then a big screen lit up to show Rick in his craft, "Sorry losers! *gives middle finger with left hand* I'm off this rock for good! Hope you enjoy your new hellmates!" He does a boastful laugh as he takes off into space. "Good luck in November 2019! Because season 4 is coming out! WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB!" And shows the craft going into space.
"The fuck?" Lopez says with a bit of confusion.
A barrage of orange laser blasts are being fired at the group from a bunch of Promethean Crawlers. Everyone takes cover.
"Shut the door!" Amber shouts.
"On it!" Epsilon close the doors and at least seven blast doors in order to keep them out. Everyone prepares but Epsilon says, "Bad news is that I cannot access his hangar and the only craft is gone."
Everyone can feel the dread and doom that is approaching as the Crawlers try to claw their way through.
Sarge pulls out his shotgun and cocks it, "Well...today is a good day to die."
"Permission to speak, sir?" Everyone looked at where the voice came from and it turns out to be Grif with Simmons, Team CFVY, and 10 other people armed and ready and pissed off at the people who brought them here. Grif loads up his 'Grif Shot' as he says, "Fuck that."
"How did you guys get here?" Blake asks.
"A teleporter in the office." Nyx, leader of Team NYON says to them.
Everyone in the room loads up their weapons along with making some cover from the metal desk.
Carolina looks at Epsilon as a Promethean Knight tries to cut through from the other side of the doors, "Do we have a chance?"
Epsilon says to everyone, "Well... There is a 10% chance of most of us making it out alive. Even less when getting back home to everyone else."
Wash loads up his twin SMGs, "Then let's make the most of it." He aims at the door while saying to everyone, "Hey! Whatever its worth, I'm glad I met everyone. Even if it was short."
"I have to agree." Simmons says, "Let's take these bitches down with us."
Linen looks pissed, "Let's kill these motherfuckers! I owe them some serious fucking payback!" He preps his claw weapons.
Simin loads up an ice shield thanks to some sort of water crystal as a substitute for Dust. "Yeah." he nodded, "About time."
Lysette arms her wrist arm blade weapon and gives it a frost aura, "Once this is over, I want to head back to Pandora as soon as possible. I am far behind schedule."
Brandon prepares his Magnum Opus pistol sword and aims at the door, "I'm also far behind. But payback is much more satisfying."
Lopez looks at everyone, "Make sure my parts are recycled if I get destroyed."
"Same." says Sanchez.
Donut says, "I promise no more turning you into scarecrows."
Velvet goes, "Wait, what?"
"Long story." Tucker says as he aims his rifle.
Ruby looks at everyone while aiming at the door, "Everyone, just so you know, I'm glad I met you all. But we will make it through." She takes a serious aim with her Crescent Rose with a serious look on her face. "So let's make it out alive!"
"YEAH!"
As the Promethean Knight is halfway cutting through the door, time stopped. Everything and everyone is frozen.
Epsilon says as he makes his sniper disappear, "No. I'm afraid not."
Sigma appears on Epsilon's left, "Everything is all set."
Delta also appears on Epsilon's right, "Are you sure about this?"
Epsilon turns to face the two, "I'm sure." he nods.
Theta appears and is sobbing, "I don't wanna die."
Epsilon pats Theta on the back, "Hey, hey. Shhh. It'll be alright. It might hurt but...it's probably for the best." The whole room starts to turn monotone as Epsilon says, "Begin recording."
"Recording."
"*deep sigh* Hey everyone. If you are getting this, then it worked. Listen, I went through the guy's data and try to figure out on how to get us home. But turns out I can't. Turns out that Rick Sanchez of dimension A-990 made sure that no one gets home. A one way trip. And this is my last stop. For real this time. As I said before, when I came into this world, I was really just a collection of somebody else's memories and help them take form and all that other stuff from my previous recording."
We cut to Takashi and his group trying to fight against the Prometheans at their island fort with Alice and Yuki being held tight by Shizuka as Takashi's group fight off against the invaders. Although everything is frozen.
Epsilon continues, "To tell the truth, it was great seeing you all again. It really was. I even am glad that I even made new memories with some new people. There is a reason why I freezed everything and about ready to teleport everyone. Rick has activated the Halo ring to wipe out all sentient life and even managed to activate all other Halo rings in order to wipe-out some of the people that abducted his family which turned into some sort of machine."
We cut to Mr. Takagi's group fending off a wave of Prometheans with every single character from every single zombie series that there is with parts of the farm getting torched to the ground with everyone using every heavy weaponry they got. Yet also frozen.
Epsilon continues, "So he was gonna murder everyone and everything in the galaxy. Even though the indexes were removed but he override it. As for everyone here and on the planet, I'm gonna teleport everyone to this one location in this universe. To start a new life since we cannot go back home."
We cut to the Halo Machinima characters continuing to fight against the Promethean Knights with heavy explosions everywhere. But like before, everything is frozen.
"I tried to override the asshole's encryptions so we can all go home, but I am unable to do so. It even shortened my life by...minutes in real world time."
We cut to everyone at the Remnant Encampment who are having fun with Team CRDL doing some sort of party act and everyone's laughing. But they are unaware of the Promethean Knights are above ground while getting destroyed by all the defenses and robots set up all over the place.
"So I have decided that in order to save everyone, I have to do ANOTHER ultimate sacrifice."
We cut back to the office room.
"But before I forget. Ruby, I know it is late but, happy birthday."
Ruby's implant started to glow red as it changed shape into some sort of black cube.
"Use this. You may need it on this new world of yours. I will not make it."
Simga started to get his body bent and contorted in many unnatural ways with him spinning and spikes protruding in and out.
"Plus I read through that guys archives and this device is sorta like being in creative mode in one of those survival video games."
Simga then fragments and disappear. Same thing that is happening to Delta.
"One last thing before I am gone for good. Carolina, you told me to 'Never say goodbye'. If you don't say goodbye then you aren't really gone, you just aren't here right now. Well, I have to say it. Because of Caboose. That Mark Temple guy from the Blues and Reds took advantage of him and nearly turn everyone against the UNSC. But I won't be gone, because you guys got Alpha so that's...something good. I think."
Delta disappears and Theta is next to get distorted.
"So...I'm not really gonna be gone in a certain way. Caboose, try to think Alpha as me since he and I are similar. Except he is more arrogant and hot headed."
Theta disappears. Epsilon's body started to flicker in and out.
"In other words...guess I have to say it. Because this is the end of the first chapter."
Epsilon then fragments and breaks into fragments with the sound of broken glass with everything faded into black.
"Goodbye."
The End...?
AN: WHEW! Hey everyone. I know it is early and everything and things seemed a bit rushed. But I have to because my boss says that things needed to be done before the 4th of July. So it is 'all hands on deck kind' of situation because everything has to get done. Which means that I won't be able to do much on fanfiction for a long while and I will be taking a vacation the week after the 4th. But don't worry, there will be a sequel in late 2019 or early 2020. In the meantime, please enjoy my Pokemon x RWBY cross over, Survival on a Strange World. Also, there will be a new series that I am gonna work on when everything is set and done. Mostly reviews with some story plot like I mentioned earlier. However, that has a special surprise. Till then, I will see you guys when things are done. Happy 4th of July in advance and hope to return. Later! Bye!
