AN: Well i cant keep updates on time aparently. Uh this quite a bit shorter then i wanted but writer's block is a bitch. This chapter is mostly filler, with a pretty major plot point near the end. I should have a chaper for Laptop done soon, it may be up latter today. Thats all i can think of for now, tell me what i fucked up or any ideas or coments on the story. Enjoy. As the pair of transports meandered their way back to Beacon, the BTR started to fall behind. Krauss had gone as far as to lower the shields and was actually shaking slightly, as if expecting I comeing fire. The BTR slowed even further to a combat pace. Krauss was now nervously checking viewports and muttering words under his breath.
Ruby noticed this and asked. "Hey Krauss you alright?" The man in question ignored her.
"Wilhelm I think something's wrong with Krauss."
The rest of the vehicle's passengers noticed. Wilhelm slid out of the turret. And radioed ahead. "Hey Adam pull over I need to check something with the engine."
He got a garbled reply that sounded a lot like 'suck a cock'.
Wilhelm shrugged and shuffled towards the driver's seat. "Krauss you ok?" He didn't respond. Wilhelm muttered a creative curse in German and tapped him on the shoulder. "Snap out of it, you're not in Afghanistan sergeant." Once again it sparked no reaction. Wilhelm sighed, then punched him across the jaw with enough force to slam him into the hull. The girls in back all jumped at the clang Krauss make as he impacted."Wake up Asshole."
"Mother fucker!" Snapped Krauss as he nursed his head.
"Finally! Flashback?"
"Yeah."
"Krauss how much sleep have you had these past three days."
"6 hours" he whispered.
Wilhelm jerked his head to the rear of the vehicle. "Damn it man, you know this is what will happen. I'll take over."
Krauss nodded. "Alright, uh Gas is far right brake is next to it and the two on the left are clutch." (No idea if that's the layout) The two switched places. And continued the drive, catching up with the rest of the group.
It was close to two in the morning when they finally pulled into Beacon. Adam and his accompanying squad were out and waiting for them. Everyone piled out of the BTR and onto the Concrete in Airborne's hanger.
"Alright you six get to bed, we'll handle the fallout from this shit."
"Yes indeed you will."
"They're standing right behind us aren't they." Said Adam.
"Yes." Answered Ruby.
Airborne as a whole did a one-eighty to face Ozpin and his ever present assistant.
"Fireteam Airborne I distinctly remember telling you to come back before curfew. Not three hours after."
Adam stepped forward "We have a few things to discuss. As for an excuse you can contact him."
Ozpin Nodded. "Ahh yes I remember James mentioning that he apprehended Torchwick and his compliance ."
"Well RWBY did basically hand them to him on a platter."
Ozpin narrowed his eyes. "I highly doubt that any of team RWBY would nearly kill the two of them." Krauss tried to whistle innocently, but it was kinda hard to when you're wearing a full set of field kit. "Though it appears that both have escaped custody."
"How the fuck did Neo escape I put a round there her lung!"
"Wait who's Neo?" Asked Yang.
Krauss's, along with Airborne's faces, turned to one of horror.
"BLOODY ARROW!" Yelled Adam.
Before anything else could be said, Airborne made a mad dash for cover, and by extension one of the entrances to their tunnel network. Goodwitch was all too used to students running in foolish attempts to escape, and froze the Soldiers mid stride with her semblance.
"Lieutenant I believe I will be having words with your Fireteam."
Ozpin turn to the gathered and very confused teens "And I believe it is far past curfew for you six. Glynda here will insure you don't get lost on the way back."
Airbore reluctantly walked back to the clock tower, but in a burst of movement that surprised the old headmaster, Airborne pulled him into a supply closet. Adam was busy trying to keep the man quiet while Wilhelm and Jonathan were unscrewing a vent cover leaving Krauss to keep watch. The Fireteam completing their tasked pulled a sack from a pocket.
Ozpin's eyebrow raised a bit, a note was shoved in his general direction.
(please note any words exchanged between Airborne and Ozpin are in German, Italian, or Russian.)
"Sorry but can't quite trust anywhere, this CAN NOT be overheard by anything."
Switching to German Ozpin accepted the conditions "Fine, but you better have a beyond good reason for this."
With the sack placed over his head he was rendered blind and slightly deaf. As he was guided through the twisting labyrinth of tunnels that even required a ladder in one spot.
"Ok take it off." The hood was removed and Ozpin blinked at the influx of light. He was standing in a round room roughly fifty Earth feet in diameter. Airborne had to crouch because the ceiling was at five earth feet. Amazingly, they had a small tree growing in the center with duck boarding circling out from its base. Crates were scattered around the room containing Oum knows what. A few fire Dust lanterns were burning to provide lighting and as it seemed in one case cooking. "Sir over here."
Adam had gestured to haphazard arrangement of boxes that formed a table. Curiously the sergeant was absent.
"W-" Adam immediately silenced Ozpin, he went on to explain what was going on.
"No English. Krauss is getting physical proof and will be back in a few minutes. As for this place, we call it the trunk. When shit goes south, we retreat here and regroup. The tunnel you came in will be collapsed."
Krauss popped out of the wall carrying his laptop. Thinking back Ozpin has seen no exits or entrances to the room. He realized that they had stolen a number of projectors from the CCT and installed them to act as a camouflage. He had underestimated the Fireteam's abilities.
"Ok I'll need you to keep an open mind." Said Krauss. He opened up the laptop and started to go through.
"Oh fuck." Muttered Krauss.
"What?" Asked Wilhelm.
"Someone's been on here recently, and the hard drive has been copied."
"Oh fuck, we might just have caused the world to blowup. What files were accessed?"
Krauss clicked about a bit more."Uh A pair of videos on Dark Souls lore? The hell is this person."
"Fuck it just pull up the videos and page." Ordered Adam. Krauss resumed his clicking.
"Lieutenant if you could explain what's going on." Said Ozpin.
"Well basicly we know the future for the rest of the school year. Currently there is a pair of attacks coming. One is a few weeks after the school's dance, the other near the end of the Vital tournament. This second attack will practically wipe Vale off the map, along with destroying Atlas's fleet. Krauss if you would."
The man in question spun around the laptop on it was the first episode of RWBY. Before Karuss started he said something. "As a bit of confidence between us. The first words you said to Miss Rose where' 'You have silver eyes.' As you could guess though we are not supposed to be here. So I don't know what will happen. I tried to change a major portion of what would happen by killing Neo, Torchwick's henchgirl.
Ozpin nodded in partial understanding."This Neo girl, what causes her to become such a threat that requires… Neutralization."
"She releases Torchwick after he was imprisoned on Ironwood's flagship. He seizes control through a virus that will be planted in the CCT network within a few weeks, destroys the escort, and turns the robotic troops to the white fang's control. Here watch some of this and tell me just how similar it is." Krauss started up RWBY's first season. The longer the show went on, the more and more troubled Ozpin became. There were a few minute differences probably due to the style and capabilities of this Rooster Teeth studio, but it did match up frighteningly well.
After close to four hours of reviewing this RWBY show, Ozpin was convinced.
"Why have you kept this hidden? This knowledge could quite literally save this planet!"
"Why do you think, This could cause a real panic. Image if team RWBY ended up watching this? That and we had no idea if this would cause a paradox or something."
The five men continued to discuss what they knew, and what they might be able to prevent, fix, or destroy to delay Salam's advance. by the time they had finished it was nearing 13:00.
"Ok we have a rough plan, you need to discuss this with the maiden console."
Ozpin nodded in agreement. Adam pulled out the sack again.
"Really Lieutenant?"
"It's this or chloroform."
Ozpin decided not to question where they had gotten a knockout drug and simply held out his hand. He was once again blinded and deafened. Airborne guided him out of the labyrinth. When he was allowed to straighten his back, he heard Adam say. "Blow it." A muffled crump was heard followed by slithering of dirt as the tunnel collapsed.
The men went their separate ways, Ozpin to his tower, and Airborne back to their barracks to get some need sleep.
AN: I will have a quick poll up on my Author page. if you could spend two seconds awnsering it i'd be thankful.
