So yeah the end of the last chapter was entirely done as this thing where Edward gets sent to prison off of his appearance. I've seen this happen where someone is targeted off appearance alone with no real evidence behind it but because that person is scary someone calls the cops and they have to take the person in. As for the almost rushed feel I'm trying to theme everything or focus on each character while also trying to keep it to about 2000+ and I'm not entirely happy with the visiting the police station stuff but I do at the same time. Also I WILL be covering more on Ruby here but the problem is this is a parody of a parody of RWBY so if you feel this is choppy as I've said go read Remnant's reclaimer which this is a near direct parody of as I'm doing the same setup except im putting more of the pain on my OC rather than Ruby cause I feel personally Ruby kind of has this problem where people defend her and I don't want to write a clone of RR so I'm changing it up as much as I can.
Malwr was repaired and until further notice Red had been assigned sleeping arrangements with team JNPR on their floor who'd found it odd and worrying that a man who shrouded his entire face walking around fully armed constantly was staying in the same room as team RWBY only to discover the older Ruby crashing on their floor. So, Red was moved to JNPR's dorm and then came time for weapon cleaning and maintenance. Malwr was first since its repairs were more severe and as such he'd rebuilt its barrel before field stripping it and checking for further damage and cleaning. The blast from the blocked barrel had charred pieces but the heat dissipation fins hidden under the blade segments had done their job well enough and while a few things were a little discolored for the most part the pistol was fine and the cleaning was minimal since he hadn't used the blade much, then came DDOS.
His weapons were both virus names for computers and while one was shortened it'd been a joke because they both did similar jobs to the viruses themselves. DDOS or direct denial of service if you used its full name denied you service being used to penetrate skulls ending the being on the other ends life near instantly 'denying service' while Malwr or Malware was more of a chip damage pistol used for damaging aura so that DDOS could complete a finishing blow with one good swing similar to malware on a computer or scroll.
Unfolding the rifle variant first getting interested looks from both Ren and Pyrrha and quiet oohs from Jaune and loud chatter from Nora asking how the rifle worked and if it could explode. The rifle form had little to do since it was well maintained and hadn't been used too much but he still ran a bore snake down the barrel checking for any blocks and cleaning it as well. Then came the axe variant. Unfolding the blade was simple with the stock reshaping itself and sliding out the blade as the scope, handle and magazine retracted into the rifle's action allowing it to ack as the handle and while it was possible to use the rifle he usually didn't because he had no need though he had fired it into someone's head once after smashing their face in with the muzzle.
Tripping the mechanism the stock refolded as the blade sprang forth black still marring the blade from the last fight. Pulling a few tools out he quickly stripped down the weapon taking off the blades and sealing the body's dust storage separating the blade's storage tank. Grabbing the rag from the bucket of soapy water he went to work on the black and as the red suds rinsed off into the bucket he noticed the odd silence that had overtaken the room.
Ren and Nora stood to one side Ren clearly tensed and Nora looking torn while Pyrrha had a hand over her mouth and Jaune looked pretty green. It took him a moment to notice how this looked, a random man cleaning clearly human blood from his weapons' blades. Sure they knew he and Ruby were from a different time but they didn't know any of the rest and while he didn't want to start sharing his story with every person he met it looked like once again he was going to need to. Setting the blades down on the floor now free of blood he placed down the rest of his items and removed his scarf and belts.
"So, you all know me by my name Red, how much else DO you know besides I'm a time traveler." Pyrrha spoke first. "We know you're a soldier and a good one at that but we thought you fought Grimm not people. Red sighed before realizing what was going to have to occur. Reaching up he removed his mask letting it fall to his lap before reaching for his goggles.
Ren and Nora both seemed to be remembering back to a time they'd tried to forget while Jaune had staggered into the bathroom to vomit and Pyrrha was pale. "My team was killed in front of me and I was burned and tortured by Cinder's men for standing up to her. I gained these scars and marks because of her and so I cover my face to prevent giving her the satisfaction of alienating me from people. I fought as a sniper during a civil war I will not discuss with you and during this time I killed equal parts men and Grimm just to survive. Eventually I left informally going rogue to try and find and then kill Cinder for what she did to me, during this time I was taken to Atlas and tortured into the life of a mute. I was contracted later by the military for a suicide mission with one Ruby Rose to kill Cinder Fall and stop her before she went any further and I accepted and the rest is history." He'd opted NOT to tell them of how the fight with Cinder went to spare them that graphic fight.
Jaune noticed the one problem with Red's story though. "If you were tortured into being a mute why are you speaking now?" Red looked up with a look that seemed to ask Jaune's intelligence. I was taught to stay silent on missions and never discuss anything I didn't need to. Right now if I stayed silent one of you would try to kill me and so far I haven't been given the option NOT to speak since I have to talk with Ruby, Ozpin and pretty much everyone else I've met and to be honest I never liked or wanted to be a mute; the torture made me associate it with pain but so far I've experienced more pain from staying quiet then speaking."
The rest of the day went normally enough for team JNPR and Red, Jaune got to tinker with Malwr's abilities and even took a shine to the pistol blades' lighter weight design and easy machinations. Where Pyrrha's weapon went through three forms requiring it to be slim but still heavy Malwr and DDOS were light and versatile thanks to the smaller mecha shift components and their simple variations. What really made Jaune giddy though was the video game reference hidden inside of Malwr, the pistol could and would fire if slight pressure was applied to the handle in which case the tip of the blade would slide out of the way and the trigger could be depressed sending one of the 8 shots from the cylinder to be fired into either an impaled or pinned target. While this had all been going on though team RWBY had been having a very different day.
WOO! Ok so here's the third chapter and so ya'll know I wrote this all in one sitting only pausing to go to the bathroom or change music. In total in the Word document for it this thing is 6300+ words and has been hell to write so far but I like the direction its going. Also if you're read all of Remnant's reclaimer basically this is following a similar arc to the first few days with team RWBY and Rose with team JNPR and Red because hey can't have an unflushed character. I'm going to be kinda stealing the Rose weapon cleaning scene for the next chapter too except I'm going to change it and that's so I can get back on track and so I can really kick us into high gear and NO we are not pairing Ruby and Glynda, it's hot but no. Anyways expect the next chapter in a few days maybe it depends on my schedule or I might right it tomorrow honestly Idk but this will be continued and remember this is a parody of a parody things are going to be very OOC or just weird in general and no also I'm not directly following RR's story arc I'm going to kick this into high gear a LOT faster cause fight scenes are fun. And that's about it I'll see yall next time!
