Welcome back to Operation: Outcasts, where things get real serious.

From what i can basically tell, This chapter might not be my best at this point (Sorry everyone), but i have been busy with something else lately, and i had a new idea going on in my head for the future.

But there really isn't much to say, but enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, Or Call Of Duty, I'm just a fan of those things.

Chapter 12

It was the evening, The snow had finally stopped creating a hard blizzard for the environment and settled down to a quiet shower of snowflakes. Not everything was going well for everyone since it has only been hours since the event, and things were feeling a little too boring around the place, but dangerous things weren't their wanted desire.

Atlas didn't show up for a total of four hours, which was a surprise since they were mostly hellbent on killing the outcasts, and they failed numerous of times since they showed up. No one even reported them, they were now like regular civilians, but the group didn't get to see a glimpse of Ruby, or Weiss since they were mostly notorious.

Back in the cafe, Coco was in the back area where the unused ingredients were placed, and she had in her arms a MK14 with a target enhancer and a winter camo, she was aiming at the can of cocoa beans with the sights. She had decided to try out a gun for the moment and pass the time, because she thought trying out new things could be good for her.

"You guys must be really stupid for not trying to copy our kind of weapons." The leader of CFVY said when gripping the gun. Chris was in the room with her to see how well she can use a regular gun.

"We're not stupid, we just never got to that area." The sentinel responded to the girl, "And I know we advanced so much to have hover bikes and deadly satellites, but we can't replicate any kind of weapon like yours."

"You're jealous of us, aren't you?"

"Does it look like I would be jealous of kids who can use a handbag with a machine gun turret or a scythe with a gun?"

"In a word," Coco turned to him, "Yes." She did not anger him with that kind of expression, she returned to the sights of the target enhancer, and aimed at the can. "By the way, what do you think of the team? Are we badasses or what?"

"Actually, some of you guys are, except for the traitor you hate so much. Most of you are still trying to catch up to your level." Chris looked at the can that needed to be taken down, he easily noticed that the girl was stuggiling with the proper aim of the gun, and aiming slightly next to it. "just keep yourself in a steady position, and you'll get your target locked."

"Yes sir." She said, "By the way, where were you guys at when the city got invaded days ago?"

"We weren't sure if it was the right thing to do, especially when it came to Atlas and their diabolical plans, we've been in a fight for more than a year."

"If you had our weapons, you surely would've won by now."

"We probably would've if we knew how to create such things." Coco got the target locked after listening to her sentence, then she pulled the trigger, nothing came out but the sound of the gun clicking because there was no ammunition in the rifle.

"I'm guessing you went rouge and came to the city just to kill that fox faunus."

"Yes, he's gonna get what he deserves when i find him again!" Chris said in anger. "I'll avenge my family for this."

"If you're so focused on finding the killer, then how come you came to help us?"

"Oh...well, You guys were probably more dangerous to our enemies then you are to us. I was thinking that you could join up with us to stop Atlas." Chris looked at her as she turned her head to hear this line. "You're probably the only chance we have against them."

"So if we do help you guys, does that mean we'll find our way back to our home world?" The beret-wearing girl had concerns about that since they came here, hhey still didn't know how to get back to Remnant, but perhaps if they did something here, it could trigger a portal for them to go through and return to Beacon.

"Well, i'm no scientist, but let's bet on it."

"Okay, but if itsn't, you'll have to invent something good for us." Coco set the down the MK14 next to the Sentinel and grabbed her handbag, "Hey how about we go to a store and buy something to eat?"

"Yeah, But you might want to bring one of your friends because i don't think they'll accept me there, seeing as how i'm stilll in uniform and all that."

"Fine, But don't think i'll be bringing you anything delicious."

"I don't even plan to think about it." Chris took the gun and smiled at the remark she made, before she could keave the room though, Neptune came in.

"Uh guys, Is it a bad sign if there's an airship landing near us?" He replied to the two, a little unsure of the sudden situation that just came up. They moved out of the room and looked over at the main dining room to see that there was soldiers coming down form the airship and turning towards the cafe. They weren't Atlas soldiers or White Fang soldiers, so it was hinted that it was the Sentinels.

"What do we do?" The others approached the windows and saw the exact same thing as they began to approach them.

The sentinel of the group said to them, "Don't worry, just follow me." He went outside and started heading towards the squad of his companions, the outcast group followed the order and headed there, not expecting anyone of them to pull off any tricks.

Gideon was there with the squad, he saw them approaching and lowered his rifle, "Put your guns down gentlemen, we got them." He said to the others, the outcasts stopped in front of the group, then the commander looked at Chris, "Alder, you got a lot of explaining to do when we get back to headquarters."

"If you're going to demote me, that's fine Gideon." Chris said to him, "But you'll thank me because we might've found the best team we got."

"I'll be sure to do that." Gideon looked at the outcasts, "So, you're one of the new outcasts that've been fighting Atlas, I can assure you that we won't kill you, but you're not letting this go just yet." The team just nodded to his words, knowing that they still needed to fight the enemy for good, "Get in the vehicle, we're heading to hq."

The outcasts walked over to the sentinel aerial vehicle and the hatch opened for them to step inside and sit right next to a sentinel soldier on each side of the vehicle. Gideon turned to the ship, "Don't worry Chris, we'll soon find your target."

Meanwhile, Atlas was having a problem to deal with, most specifically, the one that involves Neo herself. She has been seen looking through some of their stuff, including the outcast room where she saw possible relics that belong to the other kind of outcasts or something like that. The main soldiers of The deadly group were highly concerned that she was going to find out some more secrets they were hiding, especially anything that will be provided useful for Atlas themselves that would be stolen from them.

If the White Fang thought of her as a useful ally, then they would've cooperate with her to find anything secretive. But they thought of her as a useless character, but if they knew about the truth, then they would cooperate, though she would be fine if she worked on things alone.

For now, the organization brought out three guards to guard the outside of the bunker, and there was a secuirty camera guarding the inside of the room just in case she planned on escaping in a different way. The room was quiet for now, only the ice cream girl and Reynard was in there, being monitored closely.

"So Neo, what do you think you want to do tonight?" The fox faunus asked, pulling out a pack of cards and handing it over to her, but she shook her head to refuse it.

"How about we play a nice game of goldfish?" She knocked the cards away with her umbrella this time. "Geez, you're rude." He stood up and walked around the room, "Do you think you're going to have fun in this room by doing nothing? No, it's just fucking boring." Neo looked at the faunus and stuck her tounge at him.

"Thanks to your sneaking plans, you sent us both here and we're gonna be watched by Irons until morning." The fox faunus pointed that out, "I don't like being watched okay?" Of course the girl didn't bother to listen to him, she just looked up at the ceiling where the camera was located at the corner. She waved at it just to show friendliness.

"Hey look, we can't do anything until it's the morning, and the only thing we have for entertainment is cards!" He pulled one out in front of her, "So you better start playing." Instead of cooperating, she pulled out the blade from her umbrella and stabbed it through before she took it out. Then she gave it back to him.

"Now i see why you're not social with everyone here." Neo stood up from the bed and walked over to the crosshairs of the camera. She pulled out her scroll and typed something down on it, before she revealed it to the security device.

At the security room, Irons was walking over there with a few soldiers monitoring the systems to check on everything, "uh, sir. Neo's trying to communicate with you."

"What is she saying?" Irons asked when he approahced the screen where Neo and Reynard were present, the scroll revealed the message, "You think you can hide the truth from us Irons?"

"What does she mean by that?" A faunus replied in question.

Neo typed something in the scroll and showed it to the camera, "I'll be calling the shots when you least expect it."

"Looks like she's not taking this very well." A regular soldier said to the leader, "And what does she mean by 'calling the shots'?"

"She knows about something, and she's trying to give out a warning to the White Fang." Irons tapped something from his small device.

Back at the small room, the two guards that were guarding the place came right in and pointed their guns at Neo, who was about to type something else on her scroll, "Put your...phone thingy down, and go to sleep!" One of them ordered, she just put it in her pocket and gave him a frown. She moved to her bed and waited for the two guards to just leave them alone.

The door closed itself, and stayed closed so that the two could sleep without having to be alarmed by their presence. Reynard watched the ice cream girl look at him, "I suspected you have something planned out for them." He said.

Neo just nodded and took out her scroll one last time, tapped soething and revealed the words, "Tomorrow, they will get what they deserve." She put it away and started to go to sleep as she pulled the covers on top of her. Reynard didn't even bother to disturb her again, he knew that she needed the sleep so he just went under his covers too.

The camera captured this footage of course. Irons didn't pay attention to the screen as he had other things to do than watch the soldiers. When he left, one of the soldiers looked over the room before he turned to someone, "I'm guessing she must know something about one of the outcasts and she's going to avenge them."

"If that ever happens, count me out of that fight." The other said, "She's going to kick our assess if she does something bad to us."

"Yeah, by the way, have we gotten word about-"

"No, we still can't get his signal yet." What they meant was Archangel of course. "Irons said he's still searching for that Ruby girl, but i think he's not trying hard enough to do so."

" i would rather hate to say this, but i must agree with you. He's taking forever to do this mission." The concerns about the best soldier would have to wait, so the soldiers went back to work and kept watch on Reynard and Neo.

Back in New York, the two outcasts were now residing at Logan's "stronghold" for the night just to warm up and prepared for the next day, the gang was now having dinner to enjoy some food since they haven't eaten for a while. The house was good for them to get comfortable now, since Atlas wasn't doing anything the whole time.

Ruby started drinking the coffee that was given to her, but she spitted it out once she got a taste of it, "Bah, what's in this stuff!" She proclaimed to Logan.

"It's only black coffee, what else would i put in it?" He said to her, she set the drink down and grabbed the sugar container. Weiss was enjoying her meal which was a slice of meat, and a small salad next to it, along with coffee as well.

"This is delicious." She replied after gulping down a piece of lettuce, "It's been too long since we had anything like this."

"But wasn't the bread we had good enough?" Ruby asked the heiress. Apparently, the two had been chowing down on pieces of bread before on their way to a hiding spot two times, it was the only thing they could find in a time of survival when it came to Atlas, (Besides the cereals that were in the resident's homes.).

"I would've told you no, but i didn't." She answered to her, "So Logan, why didn't you get out of this city, it's been run over by the White Fang and Atlas for so long." Logan took a sip of his drink before turning her head to the girl, "You could've gone off to the other islands but why would you stay here?"

"I don't really have any place to go, I just stayed where i was and watched the fireworks happen." He said, "I didn't care if Atlas was trying to take over the place, or those animal outcasts teaming up with them."

"Don't you know that those guys are the most dangerous threat and they've been planning world domination for years?"

"Well Atlas caught us by surprise for that, but the 'White Fang' you speak of, I wasn't much worried about them."

Ruby gave him a look, moved her hand, and said, "Yeah, that is until you see their large robots and cannons. They're dangerous than you think."

Logan chuckled, "Right, i can see that. From your guys' perspective, you seemed to be doing well with them, especially Ruby over here."

"It wasn't okay, I got shot at! And I almost died! ALMOST!"

Weiss said, "Logan. I really don't think you can just stay here and watch our friends get attacked by our enemies, you have to be concerned for your own safety too.

Ruby took a bite of her salad and said, "I agree, you're not gonna last long out here since they will most certainly kill you." She twisted her fork and stabbed a piece of a tomato, and brought it close to her lips, "Besides, I know most of you Ghosts are experts, but Atlas is like, A thousand percent more experienced than you. No offensive." She finally bit the piece.

"None taken Rose." The old soldier said, "But we're not really experts at anything, we just fight for what is right."

"Then you're supposed to fight for the people, there's so much to care about, you need to save them."

Schnee said, "Whatever happened to that motive, you were fighting for hope and then you left Atlas to help out, only to stab us in the back after fighting the KVA guys."

Logan put his drink down and then moved away from the table, Ruby and Weiss feared that they said something they shouldn't have, but the look on his face did not say it. "We had to, well...I had to." He said in a different tone, "As far as i can tell, there wasn't anything that i can do, joining their ranks was no longer an option for me, even before they tried to destroy us. I was the only person who just watched the whole thing and didn't even help out, It was all i could do." He began to walk to the living room to the right, Weiss tagged along with him, and Ruby took her coffee as she filled it with a second sugar cube.

Logan stepped right in front of the fireplace and grabbed a piece of fabric that was the flag of the Ghosts on top, He pulled it down to the floor and it revealed pictures of four people, one had himself in his early twenties, the same exact look in the Cryptids war, the other pictures had David Walker, a man with only a bald head and with half a mask on, the last one had short grey hair and he looked like he would be ready for a fight after so long. The two outcasts saw the pictures and Logan turned to them again.

"I could've been along with my brothers, all because of you two." He replied, "For years after you changed our world for the greater good, It all went downhill when San Francisco was hit by Outcasts from your world and destroyed the place. Merrick was killed that day, and afterwards, the world began to hate you and that was when Atlas, who was still helping us, launched out an Anti-Outcast group, they managed to kill some of them too, the others who escaped...decided to come back, but they were killed too."

"My brother David, he was murdered by one of them, that person had a broken gun. but he was killed too by Atlas, anyways, I knew easily that the Ghosts would have to be declared disbanded, but that really didn't do anything to help us, it just stayed in the shadows for the rest of our life. Our father was gone, and then the legacy just vanished, there was nothing that could be done to prevent this whole thing. I don't blame you for causing this, it just ended up happening, there wasn't really anything that could be done for the future."

"I'm Sorry Logan." Weiss said, "I never thought this would all happen because of us, we ended up saving the world, but the consequences of our actions just made things worse."

"You don't need to apologize Schnee, it just happened for a reason." Logan sat down on a stool and sighed. Ruby set her coffee cup down on a table and moved to the former-Ghost soldier to comfort him a little, Weiss moved to him as well. They knew too well that they have caused everything to be like this, but to be fair, what other option did they had to save the human race, it was only a test for them to accomplise, but it was way too hard for them to just not see that it affected the events of the planet before and after, it was their fault, but it had to be done.

The sentinels were expecting backup and the outcasts were going to be that backup, even of that one guy was acting as a traitor, they still needed them to finish Atlas. Some soldiers were waiting for them as the VTOL of their forces began to descend to the helipad, the vehicle's doors opened up before it landed and released the passengers.

Jaune was the first to notice that things were under preparations for the moment, lots of soldiers were training outside and inside of the place, bullets were being shot somewhere, and many ships landing outside of the base. The Sentinels were no joke about trying to attack their enemy, they were planning something for them. The other outcasts were watching the scenery as well, knowing full well about their task.

"Welcome to the Sentinel Task Force." Gideon said to all of them, "Don't get too comfortable around here, you're not here to just watch."

Pyrrha turned to him, "May i ask why you brought us here?"

"You're the only few outcasts that we can get in order to defeat our enemy, you've been dealing with a lot of fights ever since you first came here." The sentinel explained, "While you're still trying to get back to your home world, we need your help to protect ours."

"So we're just gonna forget about going back to Remnant and just stay here for the rest of our lives?" Winchester spoke next.

"No, it's still possible for now." The sentinel kept walking along, "Tomorrow is going to be our last chance to try and hit Atlas head on, Irons has been located among Turkey, that's where we'll attack and turn the war around."

Neptune looked at Gideon, "What about Ruby and Weiss?"

"We still haven't found them yet, where ever they are, they must be good at hiding." Chris said to them. "Surely they would've gotten out by now." He did felt a little concerned for them since they were not heard from ever since the bridge event and Atlas wasn't even around to do anything about that situation.

"Another unit will pick them up, anyways, you have long day ahead tomorrow, just train yourself in the mean time and one of our men will instruct you." The outcasts agreed on that dialouge and headed to where the soldiers were working to help out.

"You don't know how much trouble you caused some of us while you were gone." Gideon looked at Alder, "If you wanted to get that killer so badly, you could've informed us earlier."

"That was only going to waste precious time, plus if it weren't for me, these outcasts would still be in Brooklyn." Chris countered that argument quickly, "You wouldn't want someone like your friend Archangel killing them off, would you?"

"Not really, it's just that we were not going down there and sacrificing our men to a whole Atlas and White Fang army down there, and we weren't sure about Ruby and her friend's cause of being on earth as well."

"Well now you know, they were stuck here for a good reason, and the only reason they might have is to save everyone." Alder replied, "Just like in the Cryptids War."

"Don't forget that it spawned the species of outcasts, a whole event of said people, and an entire twenty years of hunting them down. Not to mention the birth of a killer that you're after." Gideon looked at him with a grief look.

"Well, just be glad that I managed to do whatever i could to help them, Especially that Winchester guy." Alder walked away from the superior Sentinel and headed over to assist one of the outcasts, the other soldier just watched him leave and then muttered to himself about how much trouble they caused before.

"Gideon, did you get the outcasts?" Mitchell showed up from somewhere in the field.

"Yeah, they're doing alright but I'm not clearly sure they would be best suited for tomorrow, it's gonna be rough for them."

"They've been through worse, the bridge was the only thing that might've evidenced towards it." Mitchell said to his companion, "If they remembered all of this, this could scar them."

"We'll just have to see then." While the Sentinels were extremely confident about the outcasts joining their ranks, this was still gonna cause trouble for them since they went through too much in the past three days, and they almost lost themselves during the fall of the bridge.

Ruby and Weiss were still needed to be found in the city, if they were dead, it would be hopeless, but the other outcasts were a good use to them, and well equiped for the upcoming fight, this would be the only chance to win and get rid of irons once and for all, this was going to be something way more different than they would think.

It must've been many many hours since Archangel was last heard, Atlas never made contact with him for a long while, they tired numerous of times, but whatever it was that was not making him talk to them, it was being questioned. Fredrick was in a tall building, looking at himself at the mirror and pondering the table many times. The bracelet of Cynthia was lying in front of him, revealing the two pictures in it, a knife was right next to it, and the MORS was next to both items. Fredrick was no longer wearing his Atlas uniform and he just wore a regular shirt, Half of him was in pain, and the other half was regretting his decision about helping Atlas in the first place.

For many years, he helped them, and even was saved by Irons after saving him from a bullet, it could've been lucky for him to survive that and serve Irons, but was he really fighting for him? He just wanted to let go of his past, but the past always got to him no matter what, Especially since Ruby came along and the hunt began. He had betrayed Atlas in secret, but not entirely, it was only just the start.

He heard the sound of the communicator to his right, he picked it up and allowed the unknown voice to talk. "This is Crimson, do you copy, because i've been spending four hours on this shit!"

"This is Archangel, i read you loud and clear." He responded, finally allowing himself to be heard.

"Thank god you're still alive, Irons was worried, not really though."

"What do you need Crimson, i don't have all night, there's a schedule for me to sleep."

Crimson said, "You're needed at Atlas HQ in Iraq, Irons wants you to update on the situation, because so far...None of the outcasts were killed today, even though we destroyed the bridge and risked our best men and used the Paladin Mark 2, and blah blah blah!"

"Alright, I'll be there tomorrow." Fredrick hung up and then looked out the window, someone was down there looking for something. He took out his MORS and aimed it at him, he didn't suspect anything as the sniper was targeting him and keeping a steady aim on him.

Like i said, very sorry for it not being my best, and being a little short again. I'll try to do little better next time.

Hope you enjoyed, Please review, compliment on some things, and I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
