Author Note: Hello everyone, here to post a new chapter to the series. This will introduce the rest of mercenaries in fell swoop, so without further a do, lets get cracking!
Streets Of Vale
The next day Scout, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR found themselves walking through the city of Vale once again, in search of Scouts fellow mercenaries. The night before, Ozpin agreed to help Scout find the other mercenaries and Team RWBY and Team JNPR were happy to help in the search, so Ozpin assigned them to Scout for the time being.
As they walked, Scout was thinking about what he had told Ozpin regarding his comrades.
Beacon Academy: Ozpin's Office (The Night Before)
"Well first we have Soldier, a patriotic maniac who usually wields a freakin Rocket Launcher. He is loud and never shuts up about America, which now reminds me that i'm gonna have to freakin tell the chucklehead that America doesn't exist here. Oh boy. Then there's Pyro. Ummm... yeah, lets just say he loves fire. Moving on we got a dark skinned drunken cyclops by the name of Demoman. He's cool and all by is drunk all the time! It's even scarier that he is a demolition expert to go along with being barely able to walk. He also gets and exception the one weapon out rule because he can use a shield when he's using a sword! Seriously! Freakin unbelievable! Anyways, next we got fat cakes, oh excuse me I mean Heavy, but seriously he freakin massive! Also has fetish for his miniguns, like Sasha. But at least he makes the best freakin sandviches. Man there are yummy. Anyway, then we have our brainiac, Engineer, who also had an exception to the weapon rule because his right hand is a robot hand! But in terms of personality, he's really chill and polite. But don't get him angry or he will build a massive Sentry Gun and mess you up! Then we got our doctor, Medic. Despite being our healer, he's a freakin psycho! He lost his medical degree for doing incredible messed up experiments on living people. Not to mention he did the same to us! But his healing methods are incredible. Able to heal mortal wounds in mere seconds! Then there's Sniper, a man of standards as he says. All about being professional, that sorta crap. Though he can shoot anyone within range of his scoop easily. But he also has a strange strategy of throwing freakin piss at enemies. Finally we got Spy, which is our stealth and can use his knife to backstab people and cloak to become invisible and even do a perfect disguise of someone. He's pretty hard to find. And that's all of them."
There was an awkward silence as the ten Remnant citizens processed the information that they had been told.
Then Ozpin sighed saying, "I guess I shouldn't have expected anything normal."
Streets Of Vale (Present Time)
"So where to first?" asked Ruby, bringing Scout back to the present.
"Well pally, I think the first logical place to look is a bar. Demoman is sure to go somewhere he can drink."
So they set off to the most popular bar in Vale which Ruby said she knew because her uncle always went there when he was in town, which Yang accounted for, saying that he was a bit of an alcoholic but still a great Huntsman.
When they arrived they found it to be empty except for to men sitting at the bar and a bartender behind it wiping a glass with a cloth. One of the two men was wearing a yellow hard hat, overalls and welding goggles covering his eyes. He was drinking a light beer and talking amiably to the bartender, asking about the kingdoms of Remnant. The other man was dark skinned and had grenades on his vest. He wore a black beanie and eyepatch covering one of his eyes. He was slumped over the counter with a large bottle of whisky in one hand.
Scout smiled as he walked over and sat down next to the man in the hard hat and said, "Well looks like we found two of them guys."
The man turned to look next to him and his face broke into a wild smile as he exclaimed, "Scout! There you are. I'm glad it's not just me and Demo. Hey Demo wake up! Look who's here."
He gave the man next to him a hard nudge which almost sent him off the stool. He looked up groggily and looked around mumbling, "Eh what?" Then he caught sight of Scout and launched himself onto him sending him, the man in the hard hat, and Scout to the floor in a pile. "Scout! How are you lad?"
"I'm great Demo, except for the fact that your on top of me! Get off me you drunken cyclops!" Scout yelled trying to wiggle his way out.
They disentangled themselves and stood up, or at least Scout and the man in the hard hat did. They had to help up Demoman cause he was still quite drunk. While this had all been playing out, the two teams had been watching a few feet away silently observing the reunion with mixed states of surprise. Scout finally remembered they were there with him and directed his two companions over to them.
"These are students of a nearby academy that train freakin warriors and stuff," he said introducing each of them and then turning to the teams he said, "And these two are Engineer and Demoman, two of my fellow mercenaries."
Engineer tipped his hat and stuck out his hand saying, "Howdy, the names Dell Conagher, but i'm mostly known simply as Engineer." Ruby lept forward to shake his hand but Nora beat her to it and shook extremely enthusiastically making Engineer chuckle a little.
Demoman also stepped forward, burping a little and said, "Ay hello lads and lassies, it's nice to meet ya all," this was cut off by large belch and he stumbled slightly. Weiss scrunched up her nose in distaste as the drunken man took another swig of whisky. "Is he always drunk?" she asked, unable to resist.
Scout and Engi simply nodded as they headed out with Demoman wobbling slightly as he followed behind the students and his fellow mercenaries. They walked on for a bit more as Scout explained to Engi and Demo what had happened since he woke up and the chance to shelter at the academy and the help from the students to find the rest of their comrades. The two took this very well and were just discussing where the next place to look would be when they heard a very loud voice telling some sort of story.
"They were all around me, their soulless non-American eyes staring me down. I stared back at them and then screamed my allegiance to America and charged straight into the of commies striking one down with my shovel and blowing another with my rocket launcher imbued with the might of American justice. The other backed away realizing that they were facing a true American patriot. I charged again and they ran away screaming like little girls. HAHAHAHA! And that is how beat up a bunch of commies trying to assassinate the President of the United States of AMERICA!"
The group looked over to the city square to see a man in red army clothes with two grenades strapped to his jacket and a helmet on his head concealing his eyes. He was on rock above a group of curious and awed children whose parents were staring at the man as he was insane, which in a way he was. The two teams looked confused and turned to the three mercenaries who all groaned in annoyance.
"I was hoping he wouldn't be telling story's like that to random people," said Engineer as he looked at the man who was acting out a fight scene where he chocked a man to death, "Im surprised he hasn't been locked up yet."
"Well we might as well tell him the truth," said Scout as he walked over to the circle of children with Engi and Demo close behind. The made their way though the gaggle of people and walked up to the man as he was on the ground showing how he had strangled a "commie".
"Oy Soldier!" said Scout loudly, and the man, Soldier, looked up to see three of his fellow mercenaries looking down at him. He smiled and got and pulled them all into a manly hug saying, "Oh there they are! Look who we have here! I knew you would be lured in by my American pride and smell!"
"Um Soldier, we were teleported to another world. A world where America doesn't exist in," Scout chocked out as he was squished between Engie and Demo.
Soldier went very still and released the three men who looked at him slightly fearfully to what he would do. He looked straight ahead, unblinking for a few moments. Just as Scout, Engi, and Demo thought he had blacked out, he began screaming, just continuos screaming into the sky. It went on for five whole minutes. Screaming at the top of his lungs. All the civilians who were listening to his story before were grabbing their children running away from the supposedly crazy man. He finally stopped and stood there panting as the students of Beacon gathered round next to the other three mercenaries who were peering at Soldier to see if he would keep going. After a minute or so, Engi spoke up asking, "You done Soldier?"
Soldier looked up and then straightened up and locked eyes with Engi. "I can't believe that America doesn't exist here. But I will have to continue forth like a true American man would. So where do we go next?"
"Well first before we go let me introduce you to our new friends and allies, students of an academy that trains fighters and have allowed us to live there," said Scout gesturing to the two teams who were standing beside them.
Soldier looked at the students who had there weapons slung over there back and gaped for few seconds until yelling, "Why do those girls have weapons?!"
This took the students completely by surprise. The other mercenaries however just groaned and explained to Soldier that in this world, women were allowed to fight. (In their world, Earth it was the 1970s so women's rights were still a bit wonky) Soldier seemed to accept, if a little reluctantly, and they moved on to find the other five mercenaries. They had been walking for around forty five minutes and many of them had begun to get a little hungry and everyone agreed to have some lunch. They made their way over to café and they found two interesting people sitting outside in one of the tables.
One was very large man with no hair and bullet vest over his red shit. He was sitting across from a man in a white doctors coat, with short black hair and wearing glasses. They were eating sandwiches and drinking tea as they group approached them. They turned as they heard the approaching footsteps and grinned happily as they recognized four of the people.
"Comrades!" shouted the large man as he waved, "Come sit with us. Me and doctor are having tea time."
"Thanks fellas, but we don't have much time, we must find the others first before we relax," said Engi. The large man looked a little crestfallen but got up and ate the rest of his sandwich. The other man followed him taking a last sip of tea and leaving a few coins behind on the table. They noticed the other eight students and the large man asked, "Who are these little boys and girls?"
The students looked a little offended, but Demo reassured them that thats how the man addressed most people and responded, "Ay, these are new friends mate. They come from a school of sorts that teach warriors."
The man looked at them for a second trying to see if Demo was lying and they were just kids. Then he noticed the weapons slung over their backs and he laughed happily and walked towards them and introduced himself. "I am Heavy Weapon's Guy, but you can just call me Heavy. And this our doctor, Medic," he said gesturing to the main in the white coat. Medic looked at each student closely and paused over Blake and looked up at her bow and grinned evilly, but said nothing and bowed to the them.
"Halo fraüliens, I am ze Medic. I hope zat we can great allies," he said in heavy accent. He gave the students the chills. Even if Scout hadn't said anything yesterday about him, he still have a very dangerous air about him and he seemed somehow dangerous. He then noticed a scar on Jaune's arm and produced a strange device known as the Medi-Gun and directed it towards Juane and activated it. Red light flowed into Jaune and his scar healed up in a matter of seconds. He looked up astonished as Medic put away his Medi-Gun grinning at the expression on the students faces.
"H-how did you do that?" stuttered Jaune as he inspected his arm with Phyrra who was very worried about what had happened.
"I used my highly advanced medical device to heal you," said Medic simply, "However why haven't you used your aura to heal it by now?"
This surprised everyone, especially the students since the other mercenaries didn't know what aura was. "How do you know about aura?" asked Phyrra as she inspected Jaune's arm.
Medic suddenly smiled very darkly. "Well, I may have interrogated a random person about ze workings of zis world after I realized zat I wasn't on Earth anymore."
The future Huntsman stared at him in horror as he hummed a small tune and turned to Engi saying, "So Engineer, vhat where do we go next? Do you know where Spy, Sniper, and Pyro are?"
"Not yet doc," answered Engi as they began to stroll down the street once again, "But we are hoping that they will pop out soon enough."
"They better!" exclaimed Weiss suddenly, causing everyone to look at her, "I'm starting to get sick of finding insane people on the street, and I certainly not excited to look for a urine throwing maniac who is-," before Weiss could finish a gunshot fired and a bullet whole appeared at the ground an inch form Weiss's foot. She scrambled back immediately and drew her weapon along with the over students. The mercenaries however remained calm and looked over to the roof of a nearby building to see a man in an outback hat and sunglasses holding the default Sniper Rifle in one hand and waving with the other.
"The next one will be going right between your eyes mate so I suggest that watch what you say sheila!" the man yelled. The teens all looked up to where the man was standing and he slid down the roof and climbed his way down to the ground and walked over to the group, Sniper Rifle slung over his back.
"You could have killed me!" yelled Weiss as the man stopped in front of them tipping his hat slightly at his fellow mercenaries. The man looked down at Weiss through his sunglasses and showed very little emotion. "But I didn't sheila. Besides, you should learn to be more patient or I won't be the only shooting at you," he said calmly and Weiss spluttered angrily as walked over to his comrades and shook hands with them.
"So good to see you Sniper," Scout said as he clapped him on the back and Sniper smiled at him saying, "Have to say same to you Scout. Maybe the first time I missed your loud mouth mate."
"What about mine?" asked Soldier.
"And yours to mate," Sniper added as chuckled slightly then he turned to Scout, "So who are these young mates doing with you, did you try to flirt with them mate," he added to Scout who laughed saying that he hadn't. "I'm twenty one pally, and their all seventeen, except for tiny little Ruby who's fifteen."
"Hey, I'm growing! I drink lots of milk," said an annoyed Ruby, putting an adorable pout. This made Yang and the mercenaries laugh, even Soldier got a good laugh.
"Anyway, guys this is Sniper, and Sniper these are the students of a freakin battle academy!" said Scout introducing his fellow mercenary. Sniper nodded to all them and paused on Weiss who looked at him with very high degree of annoyance. "Well I didn't think Ice Princess here was a bloody fighter," he said finally smirking slightly. Before Weiss could respond, a voice spoke from no where, "Ahem, Gentlemen and Ladies."
Everyone looked around for the source of the voice but didn't see anyone except for a few civilians a few yards away walking casually. Then behind Jaune, a man wearing a balaclava a red suit and smoking a cigarette, materialized and poked Juane in the back causing him to jump in surprise and fall on his bottom. The mercenaries laughed a little at his expense as Phyrra helped him while scowling at the newcomer.
"Sorry, couldn't resist," he said to Phyrra as he took a drag from his cigarette, "usually i'm much more polite and professional, but I have been following you guys for so long I needed to appear somehow, and decided to be comedic."
"Yeah comedic," said Jaune coldly as he straightened up and glared at the man, "And who are you exactly?"
"Oh apologies, I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Spy, and no need to introduce yourselves, I know exactly who everyone here is and I must thank you for letting me and my colleagues stay at your academy," Spy said smiling at the students as he introduced himself. "Now I understand we are only missing Pyro, correct?" he asked his fellow mercenaries who all nodded. "Well, you are in luck. I know where he, she, it is. Follow me please," he said and turned on his heel and began to walk with the fifteen others in toe.
Junior's Nightclub
Junior, Melanie, Miltia, and the rest of Junior's thugs watched as the mysterious thing in the gas mask and flame retardant suit played with matches and clapped his hands excitedly every time he was able to make a nice fire. They had been watching it cautiously for a good two hours, two nervous to tell it to leave or even talk to it. Despite them being well armed men and women, they had a feeling of dread that they would regret fighting that thing.
Their thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of the club being thrown open and sixteen people walked in. One of them is very familiar to Junior and he stood up, pointed at Yang and yelled, "Get out, you are not welcome here yellow!"
Yang looked towards Junior and the rest of his gang all huddled up in a corner and laughed, "Whats the matter did I scare yeah."
"I don't think strong blonde girl scared them," said Heavy looking at the thing who was playing with matches, "Pyro scared them."
Engi and Spy walked up to the thing called Pyro and sat on either side of it. Pyro looked and saw them and said something happily, though it wasn't intelligible due to the gas mask covering its entire face. It threw it's arms around Engi who patted it's shoulder awkwardly saying that he was happy to see him to. Then they brought him to the rest of the gang and cleared their throats.
"Team RWBY and Team JNPR, this is our final member, the Pyro," introduced Spy and Pyro clapped its hands together excitedly and shook hands with Ren who looked a little nervous but shook its hand nonetheless.
"Well it seems we are done here," began Spy, "We might as well-"
"HEY!" yelled Junior who had come out of his corner with Melanie and Miltia and bunch of his thugs, "You think you can just walk in and take out you creepy ass friend who has stopped me from getting any costumers for the past two hours! Then you are sorely mistaken."
The mercenaries stared at Junior then grinned. "Children please stay back for this tussle, I think we deserve to have a small fight," said Spy as took out his Revolver.
The students complained but stepped back nonetheless, curious to see the mercenaries in action. Junior charged with his bazooka out and fired three shots at Soldier who laughing dodged them all and took out his Beggars Bazooka and fired three shots back at Junior who was taken by surprise and got hit by all three, sending him into the air. Soldier shot a rocket down at his feet and launched himself up into the air and taking out the Market Gardener shovel he hit Junior over the head sending him crashing back down to the ground unconscious. Soldier landed next to him and jeered, "Take your lumps like a man private twinkle toes."
Scout ran forward and engaged Melanie in close combat, blocking her heel blades with his bat until he found an opening and took out his default Pistol he ran around her shooting her while running to fast for her to counter. He then took out his Force-O-Nature and shot the full clip into her back sending across the room and right into the wall, where she slid down to the floor barely alive. "Haha, nice hustle tons of fun, next time eat a salad!"
A few of Juniors goons ran towards Soldier and Scout but were intercepted by Pyro who laughed within his mask and took out his Flare Gun and shot one who fell to the ground burning, approached another and smashed his face in with the Powerjack. The three others pointed there weapons at Pyro who took out the Phlogistinator ran right at them burning them alive and laughing like a little school girl playing with her doll. "Mmmphh mpphh."
Demoman found a few opponents and immediately took out his Quickie Bomb Launcher and fired a few quick stickies near the thugs and detonated them as soon as they were armed. The thugs were blown to pieces and Demoman laughed drunkenly taking a swig of his favorite whisky... until it was shot out of his hand by another thug. He turned to him with pure rage in his own eye and equipping the Targe an Charge and Eyelander, charged at the thug at sliced his head clean off. "And thats what you get for touching that!"
Engi quickly constructed a Mini-Sentry and took out his Pistol to pick off some of the thugs as they tried to attack the small turret that was also killing them. It had gotten a few of the thugs before one was able slice it up with his katana. However, Engi grinning took out his Frontier Justice which was crackling with revenge crits. He fired it a the man who had destroyed the Mini-Sentry and the thug flew back into the bar. He repeated the same action until he ran out of revenge crits... and people to shoot. "How'd that plan turn out for you dummy?"
Sniper grabbed his Sniper Rifle and scored head shots on unsuspecting thugs who were busy fighting someone else. However he was finally seen and cornered by a bunch of thugs who thought they had gotten him. That is until they were hit with a jar full of piss which spread on all of them. They all looked disgusted but didn't realize that it also allowed for crits. Sniper took out his Bushwaka and sliced at one causing the whole triple damage to cripple the thug deeply. Then he switched to his SMG and shot down the rest of them who were still recovering from being covered in urine. "If your strategy is to build my confidence, it's working."
Spy equipped the Your Eternal Reward and snuck up behind on and backstabbed him. Since he was using the Your Eternal Reward the kill was silent and the moment he killed him he took the thugs form. No one noticed and he walked up to another thug who though he was an ally until he was shot in the head with the Ambassador. Then he disguised as a thug and ran up to one who was going to deploy a radio signal to call for help. Using the Sharp Dresser he killed the man with the concealed knife under his sleeve and placed an Elctro-Sapper which sapped the signal until the device exploded. "Don''t feel bad. You did a fine job tossing your little balls around."
Heavy fought Miltia, his Warriors Sprit out clashing against her claws. They fought for a few moments, seemingly at an impasse until Heavy smiled and took out his favorite Minigun, Sasha. He then called out to Medic who was just dispatching a few thugs with his Übersaw. "Come along now doctor, let us show them what real fear is." Medic looked over and grinned evilly and taking out his Medi-Gun he trained its beam on Heavy. "Charge me Doctor!" yelled Heavy and Medic flipped a switch on the Medi-Gun and both of them were engulfed in a shiny red metallic light. Miltia tried to attack but then gasped when she realized that her attacks were doing nothing. Heavy smiled and then revving up his Minigun he opened fire on her and a bunch of thugs, laughing maniacally. In a matter of seconds the invulnerability ran out but by then every opponent in the run was down. "Who sent all these babies to fight?" "Eins, zwei, drei... Ugh, I do not think ve brought enough body bags."
The club is a complete wreck. While all the mercenaries were all standing completely okay and not even scratched, Junior and his forces were all over the floor, most of them actually dead. Junior, Melanie, Miltia, and a few other thugs were still alive if barely due to their aura. The students of beacon stared completely in shock. They new that these were highly classed fighters, but of this caliber was unimaginable. The mercenaries approached the teens and motioned them to follow them outside.
"I'm hoping we can keep this a little secret okay. We are sorry we were a bit brutal back there, but we needed to let out a bit of our anger for being transported from our world." said Engi as they started making their way back to Beacon. The students nodded, not saying anything, but thinking about how lucky they were that they were on the same side as these people.
Holy Crap long chapter here. Now I know the fight scenes were crappy but I wanted to put in some fighting as everything up to here has been basically dialogue and people introducing themselves. Now I am planning to have a bit of Arkos, but it won't be the main point of this story but it will be there. Besides that I hope you enjoyed this chapter, reviews are always welcome and I will see you in the next chapter... BYE BYE!
