Titans of Remnant

by ChiefD3m0n1c

There was once a project to help the hunters of Remnant to give them an advantage over the Grimm, Project Titan. Massive robots with even bigger guns to take down Grimm with the hunters in control. But the project was lost... until now. The fate of humanity now sits with the only one who has the knowledge of Titans... 17 year old Scott Matthews.

Heyo! Prepare yourselves… this will be a very feely chapter. Have fun!

Chapter 5: Titans

Scott and Ruby were hanging from the struts of the Stryder Titan stand, working the cybernetics for Ruby's Titan. The two had been working on the Titan for a month, and dating at the same time. Scott connected the last circuit and proclaimed "That's the last one. We're almost done with your Titan." Ruby brought herself down and questioned "What's the last thing we need?"

"Just need to upload the basic Titan A.I. and weapon basics, and then you will have your Titan combat ready."

Scott went over to his computer and started hitting a few keys. "How long will that take?" Ruby questioned as she looked over his shoulder. "In total? About two hours." Scott answered.

"Do you want to do anything until then?"

"I don't know, I'm good for anything."

"Anything?"

Ruby slid under his arm and wrapped her arms around his neck. Scott smiled as he brought his hand up and brushed some of her hair behind her ear and held his palm to her cheek. Ruby brought her lips to his and he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. The two pulled each other as close as possible as Scott started to back towards his bed. Scott fell when the back of his legs hit his bed, the two collapsing onto the bed while still embraced.

The two shifted so they were laying in the bed, still keeping each other as close possible. Scott started to kiss her neck, but stopped when Colossus made a whistling sound. Scott dropped onto the bed and groaned "Is there anything else you could be doing right now? Like fighting Ursa in the Emerald Forest?" Colossus made a grumbling squeal, causing Scott to proclaim "I will send you wherever you want, as long as you aren't here." Ruby questioned "Hey Scott, how exactly are you able to send Colossus places?"

"When Project Titan was created, they wanted a fast way to bring the Titans to the battlefield. So a Warpfall Satellite was built and sent into space. The discs you've seen me use are basically a teleportation grid that send Colossus into orbit where the satellite drops the Titan to the designated spot."

"That's really cool… so is this going anywhere?"

"Not until Colossus leaves or powers down."

The two looked over at Colossus, who looked around at the room to avoid eye contact with the two. The two couldn't help but laugh at the Titan until Scott's and Ruby's scrolls went off. The two looked at the message received to see it was the same message from Professor Ozpin. Please come see me in my office immediately –Ozpin the message read, delivering a sense of urgency. The two immediately headed to Professor Ozpin's office and met with the rest of Team RWBY.

"What's happening?" Scott questioned. "The White Fang are about to assault a large Dust shipment, and they have some new weapons." Professor Ozpin explained.

"What kind of weapons?"

"Titans."

Everyone's eyes widened, especially Scott's when they all heard the word 'Titans'. "Is this confirmed?" Scott questioned. Professor Ozpin turned the screen of his computer to show an airship with about 10 Titans hooked to the side of it. Scott noticed one major detail about the Titans, they were all made of scrap metal and barely seemed like they were holding together. Scott could barely tell there were 5 Atlas Titans, 3 Stryder Titans and 2 Ogre Titans.

Scott felt his fist tighten at the sight of these… walking pieces of trash that were a mockery to the true Titans. "Scott, how do the White Fang have Titans?" Blake questioned. "I thought that only you had plans for Titans?" Scott glared at the False Titans and exclaimed "Project Titan was stopped when the White Fang attacked the lab and burned the place to the ground. It looks like they weren't just trying to stop the project, but recreate it." Everyone grew horribly quiet until Scott questioned "Where is this shipment of Dust?" Professor Ozpin looked to Scott and responded "At the shipping yard. It is scheduled to be distributed throughout the continents in a few days."

"Alright. I'm going to head there… and rip those abominations apart."

Scott didn't wait for Professor Ozpin's approval or anyone to argue with him, so he simply left and headed for his workshop to prepare. He made it about halfway when Ruby shot in front of his with a trail of rose petals behind her. "Scott, wait." Scott barked "I'm not waiting Ruby. The White Fang attacked the lab, they killed my father and now they have the very thing that he gave his life to protect!" Scott was screaming at this point, forcing Ruby to take a step back. Scott realized that he was screaming at Ruby, and then stared at the floor.

"Ruby, I'm sorry. I just… I can't let the White Fang keep these Titans. I can't let them keep the information. I just can't…"

Ruby walked to Scott and wrapped her arms around him and comforted "I know Scott. I know you can't let these Titans just exist, which is why I'm going with you." Scott looked Ruby in the eyes and was about to say something when Yang added "We're all going with you." Scott turned to see the rest of Team RWBY walking down the hall. Scott nodded and proclaimed "If all of you are in, then you need a crash course in Titan combat. Let's move." The group nodded and they all ran to the workshop where Scott immediately started teaching.

He jumped onto Colossus' back and exclaimed "All Titans have one similar weak spot, the main circuitry just underneath this panel." Scott put a hand on the panel he was talking about and exclaimed "Tear these circuits to shreds with some gunfire and the Titans will fall." Team RWBY nodded as Scott went on "High explosive fire concentrated on the hull or the power core on the Titan's back." Yang exclaimed "So we blow the Titans up? Sounds good." Colossus made a questioning squeal and Scott answered "The White Fang have some False Titans and we need to take them out."

Colossus stood up and slammed his fists together, engine roaring in aggression. "Looks like Colossus is ready for a fight." Blake pointed out. Scott exclaimed "Colossus, I'll have you drop when we take on the false Titans." Colossus nodded his hull and grabbed his chaingun, taking a seat and waiting for his time. Team RWBY and Scott all boarded an airship and headed for the harbor.

The group arrived just before nightfall and waited for their incoming enemy, just waiting to spring their trap. "Are you sure this will work?" Weiss questioned as the airships started to fly into view. "Oh I'm sure." Scott proclaimed as he readied his Spitfire. "These punks have no idea what's about to get the… drop… on them." He looked to the group to see all of them shaking their head, Ruby only having a smile on her face. "Oh well, they can't all be winners." Scott sighed as the airships arrived and started dropping members.

The larger airship started dropping the False Titans and the giant bots started grabbing the canisters to put them on the airships. Scott hit a button on his wrist and exclaimed "Stand by for a REAL Titan." All of the team looked up to see Colossus' fireball and Scott shouted "NOW!" All of Team RWBY charged forward as Colossus landed on top of one of the False Atlas Titans, creating a large explosion of Titan and Dust. Colossus didn't wait for Scott to get to him, he stood up and began to unload rounds into the other False Titans.

Blake was the first to reach the False Titans and scaled the False Atlas with ease. She ripped open the hatch and proceeded to put rounds into the circuitry, causing the False Titan to flail and try to get her off. Blake continued to shoot the False Titan until the circuitry blew in her face, forcing her to jump off as the False Atlas stumbled for a few seconds and then exploded. Blake wasn't able to admire her work since several White Fang members attacked her. Yang was charging a False Ogre and jumped onto its hull, hanging on to its protruding optic sensors.

She held nothing back and began wailing on the False Ogre's hull, denting the cheap metal with each punch. She continued to punch until her fist broke through the hull, feeling the softness of someone's face. "Let's see who's behind the wheel!" Yang shouted as she started to try and pull the pilot out of the cockpit. She gave a few good tugs and finally ripped the White Fang pilot out, and it was clear he wasn't going to be moving anytime soon. She tossed the pilot aside and started pulling out the wires and circuits inside the False Titan, causing it to move uncontrollably until it finally collapsed.

Ruby was slicing and slashing through every White Fang member that crossed her path until a False Stryder jumped in front of her. She barely dodged the Stryder's punch and then jumped onto the False Titan's arm. Ruby then drove her scythe into the joint of the False Stryder's arm, knowing exactly where to hit it and cause it to fall off. Ruby didn't stop there, she raised her scythe and drove the blade straight into the hatch that held the circuitry. The False Titan flailed and spun, but it was too little too late as Ruby jumped off and the False Titan exploded.

Weiss was throwing fire blasts at the False Atlas that chose her as a target. The White Fang clearly didn't get the best material for the False Titans since the metal practically melted off with each hit. The False Titan flinched with every hit, metal starting to slide off and hiss as it hit the ground until the False Titan collapsed onto the ground and then detonated. Scott flew past all of the False Titans and jumped inside Colossus, linking the two of them. The hull closed and Colossus proclaimed "Let's show these walking trash heaps what a REAL Titan can do."

"We sure as hell will." Scott proclaimed as the two raised the chaingun. A False Stryder flew from the side of the canisters and was met with a wall of slugs. The False Titan collapsed and Atlas proclaimed "Come and get some!" He spun and continued to unload his weapon into the False Titans, shouting "Lunch is served! The buffet is all you can eat! Today's special… IS LEAD!" Two more False Atlas were cut down before True Atlas had to reload.

Atlas started to reload when one of the False Stryder's boosted towards him and slammed into the hull. Atlas stumbled back as the False Stryder threw a punch, causing Atlas to spin and crash into a pile of canisters. Atlas got up and threw his own punch, denting the hull of the False Stryder and causing it to falter back. Atlas didn't wait for it to recover, he threw his fist straight into the hull and ripped out the pilot. The False Stryder fell to the ground as Atlas announced "I like my White Fang like I like my orange juice…" Atlas began to squeeze until the White Fang pilot exploded in his hand, grumbling "Fresh squeezed."

Atlas flicked his hand to get the gunk off his hand, then something tore through the hull like a knife through butter. Scott bellowed in pain as the object hit him, seeing that the thing that hit him was a giant knife. "You sonofabitch!" Colossus roared as he spun, ripping the massive knife from the False Titan's hand and began to beat the False Titan until the hull was a pancake. Colossus stopped and opened the hull, letting Scott out to see how badly he was hurt. Colossus looked around to see Team RWBY bringing down the final False Titan, the False Ogre.

He looked back to see part of Scott… part of his pilot laying on the ground. His left arm laid about three feet away, Scott gripping the wound to try and stop the bleeding. Colossus ran through his data banks and found a way to stop the bleeding. He reloaded his chaingun and fired a single round off, grabbing the shell and pressing the spent tip onto Scott's wound. Scott screamed in pain as Colossus squealed "I'm sorry buddy, but this will keep you alive and prevent you from bleeding out."

Team RWBY ran over to see the sources of the screams, Ruby taking it the hardest and flying over to Scott. She picked him up into her arms and cooed "Don't worry Scott. Everything is going to be fine." Tears ran down their faces as Ruby rocked back and forth, repeating "Everything is going to be fine. Everything is going to be fine." Scott grumbled "I think I just found the silver lining."

"What?"

Scott smiled and explained "I'm right handed." Ruby couldn't help but laugh at the terribly timed joke until Colossus made a worried squeal. Scott translated "There are two more airships getting ready to drop more False Titans. We need to get out of here." Yang ran over to Scott and picked him up, urging "Then let's get the hell out of here." Colossus squealed again and Scott translated "They're too close, we'll be gunned down before we can even board the airship."

"Then what can we do?" Blake questioned. Colossus made a squealing sound and Scott barked "No Colossus! We aren't doing that!" Everyone looked confused as Scott explained "Colossus is suggesting he stay behind and hold the False Titans off while we escape." Weiss questioned "Well… how much time would we get? Enough to get some help?"

"That's not the point. The point is Colossus will die. That is the point he's trying to make."

Colossus made a grinding noise and Scott bellowed "I'M NOT LETTING YOU KILL YOURSELF SO WE CAN GET AWAY DAMMIT!" Colossus slammed his fist onto the ground and grinded again. "What is he saying now?" Weiss questioned.

"Colossus is equipped with a powerful power core… nuclear powered. If he dies, his core goes critical and would wipe out everything in the harbor… including the False Titans."

Colossus shook his hull and then opened his cockpit, reaching inside of it. Scott was in disbelief as Colossus grabbed the main console, and ripped it out without a moment to consider. It dropped the console onto the ground and the Atlas Titan stood straight up, a female voice exclaiming "Guard Mode engaged." Scott forced Yang to let him go and he went to the console, pulling out a small blue orb about the size of a baseball. "What is that?" Ruby questioned as she stood next to Scott.

"Colossus… it's…. Colossus"

"His… A.I.? Is that what you have?"

"It is… he isn't giving us the choice. We need leave before the Atlas goes nuclear."

Yang basically carried Scott since he was nearly catatonic, staring at Colossus' A.I. core in his hand. They ran as fast and as hard as they could, Scott's eyes set on the harbor until there was a bright blue light… and a massive explosion. The two airships were blown away and crashed into the ground with explosions of their own. Scott looked back down at the A.I. core in his hand and cursed "Damn it Colossus… damn it."
