Howling Song

by Knightwolf1875

The strangest things happens when you least expect it. For the girls that use relics and song to battle that is a very strong truth. So, what happens when they meet an alien wolf girl and a relic in unknown hands starts bringing in people from other worlds? One big headache for starters. Rated M in case things get heated later. Slow burn for build up.

4. Chapter 4

A longer chapter to cover the trouble and a fun little twist on their hunt for Displacer Beasts. With a little luck things might get more interesting.

Dr. Wily hums softly as he reads the Player's Handbook for fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons, he took from a hobby store. After shutting down his jammer from the feedback it was getting from the black winged and scythe wielding machine. He followed the group with his ship cloaked from sight in hopes of catching his great niece off guard. Instead, he saw the three blue giants get killed by the machines and had to know what they were. It didn't him long to find out what he needed from just listening to the group as they spent two hours searching for more and hearing one of them say same thing about a tabletop game.

Well, it isn't like he finds it beneath about such things. In fact, he loves them as he'll find ideas from just making his robots that he wants to use. The Frost Giants however had him worried as his ship is hacked into every camera in the city, and he's seen from High Elf to Tabaxi in the city so far. That's on top of pilots and their machines as well. This worried him to no end as it meant something was going on that he didn't understand. The one thing he hated the most as he listens to a human Dr. Wily with a bold spot with white hair, and talking to robot humanoid colored red with a black visor wearing a tan scarf.

"Well, he built a handsome young man. I wonder what other robots he made." The aged old wolf says with a chuckle as he reads about the Dragonborn race with a grin. "Maybe I'll build one based on this specie next. A nice poke at those dragons back home." He chuckles.

..==..

Proto Man looked around the corner before waving Dr. Wily to follow him. "It's clear doctor. I don't see any more of those weird panther things."

"Thank goodness." The old doctor sighs loudly as they quickly walk into the sunlight. Rounding the corner Wily lets out a scream coming face to face with a red hair teenage girl with wolf ears. "Please don't kill us!"

"A rough day I take it?" The wolf girl asks with a knowing grin as she pats Wily's arm. "I'm Flay Redmoon and I'm here to help you get to our little base." She says with her heterochromia eyes of right aqua blue and left gold. Her clothes are simple blue jeans, a red tank top, a light white jacket, and blue sneakers. "Come on guys. Our ride is just down the road."

"Okay." Proto Man says slowly a little taken back by the girl. He notes she even has a tail to go with the ears. "What are you? You're not any human I've seen before."

"I'm not from earth. In fact, I'm from a planet that's two to four days from here by FTL." Flay says leading the two to the waiting car. "I'm a wolf."

This helps calm Wily down by a lot hearing this as his mind starts going over the facts. "So, those six legged panthers that teleport we ran into are yours?" The doctor asks looking at the young man holding the door for them. "Did your people take over the world?"

"Nothing like that at all and what six legged panthers?" Flay says giving Wily a glaring look. "We came here to find me twin sister. By the way what's your name? You look like my crazy great uncle that makes trouble."

"Oh great! There's another you out there doc." Proto Man facepalms as he gets in the car. "Well, I'm Proto Man and this is…"

"Dr. Albert Wily, young lady." Wily says fixing his lab coat. "I built Proto Man and a few other robots that we lost track of. I know when I'm in over my head, dear. It would also seem you have other problems as well."

"Dr. Wily, you don't know the half of it." The young man says motioning for him to get in the car. "We can talk about it on the way. Flay, up front with me please."

"Way ahead of you, Owaga." Flay says hopping into passenger seat as he closes the door and quickly gets in the driver seat. "I'll call HQ and we can get this report on record and done before my little sisters find trouble."

"The heck are you doing, doc?" Proto whispers as Owaga drives down the road quickly.

"At this moment we have no idea what has happened, where we are, or who we can trust fully." Wily whispers back. "Till we even find Mega Man to get even half an idea, I'm willing to work with an alien that hasn't even asked about you. Don't you get it? We're not in New York anymore!"

..==..

The orc just shrugs his shoulders looking at the wolf girl with blue hair after she explained where his group was and the young woman with long pink hair next to her dressed in the oddest armor just glaring at the group. The blue haired wolf girl's eyes are what he finds most interesting with the right green and the left red. Borky just wasn't worried about it since things work out for the Unexpectables. They drove off a demigod, killed an undead giant controlled by that demigod (which led to Raunfalt being the sword on his back), and meeting many others along the way. However, this time being on a world that sees them as just characters in a game was very new.

"So, we're in another world that sees us nothing more than fictional beings?" Task the red Kobold asks having to look up at the two ladies. "But you're telling us that you know of our adventures and think we can help you protect this place? I'm a little unwilling to trust you people just yet. You the most Mordred Redmoon as you are not from this planet, as you told us."

"I told you this would happen, Maria. Just our luck to have to deal with this kind of thing when we should be going back to base." Mordred says clearly ready to scream in frustration of what's going on. "You want answers? We have to go now!" She shouts the last words right in Task's face.

"I do believe the young lady is right, Task." A falcon like humanoid says gently pulling the wolf girl back. "We should be moving before those Displacer Beasts show back up."

"You said it Remy." A dark grey humanoid with long white hair and the bard of the group. "I'm sure someone there also wants an autograph of Remus Corbeau."

"Very funny, Panic Grimtongue." Remy says with a roll of his eyes.

The other bird humanoid is a blue Grackle. "Let's just go already guys. I'd like to have a better idea if anyone else from home is here. Besides, these ladies are just doing their job."

"Thank you, Greckles." Maria sighs. "The girls will love meeting you guys, but it is a bit of a walk."

..==..

Ruby Rose mutters under her breath as she is made to listen to what's being said by the white-haired wolf girl. She would think she's a Faunus with heterochromia eyes with her left eye green and right eye gold until she saw the tail to match the ears. Ruby wasn't sure why Lilith Redmoon was being so mean to her. Then again, she did kind of try taking the weapon out of her hand because of how cool it looked.

"Ruby Rose!" Lilith shouts snapping the Huntress out of her thoughts. "Did you hear anything I just said?" She asks with her tail low and her ears flat in anger.

"Yyeesss?" Ruby says before her sister Yang Xiao Long steps between the two girls as Lilith growls and her eyes glow brightly. "Okay! I wasn't listening at all. Your weapon is just so cool!"

"Ruby, you can't just take a weapon from someone's hands like that. You know better." Yang scolds her sister. "Besides, it doesn't even transform like ours even if it does have a laser blade on it."

"Beam saber and beam rifle that I like using." Lilith says with a huff as Kirika watches for the panther like beasts. "Now get in the truck so we can get out of here! We don't know where a few creatures are that do not belong here. Plus, your weapons don't seem to be working for you." She points to Weiss Schnee as she tries to use her Dust ammo and it still isn't working. "So come on already!"

"Oh, please we can handle a few Grimm." Weiss says turning to Lilith, only to flinch at the glare she's getting from the wolf girl. "Or they aren't Grimm are they?"

"Unless one of them is a six-legged panther like creature with two tentacles on its back then no." Kirika says seeing movement in the garage nearby. She readies her scythe as Blake Belladonna holds her weapon at the ready. "You think your sword can hurt that thing?"

"Your guess is as good as mine." Blake says as the panther like creature walks out of the shadows of the garage, hisses at the group and then goes back into the garage. "That's not a Grimm, Weiss."

"Truck! Now!" Lilith shouts pushing Ruby into the truck without a second thought. "I don't want to even see how those things fight without my sisters!" She yells clearly worried for their lives.

Weiss got a good look to at the creature and nods her head. "Let's go with her." She says thinking about the close call with the machine Torchwick tried to kill them with a few days ago. "I don't like the look of that thing and you're right Blake. That is not a Grimm at all."

Team RWBY gets in the truck and leaves the area with a report to HQ about the garage. It's going to be a team hunt to deal with those things is all Lilith can think as the truck rumbles down the road.

Silver Blood MS Hanger Bay

It took nearly four hours to get everyone to either calm down as they got setup in the hanger bay. Athrun was in shock to see more mobile suits in the hanger bay, and even a number of droids right out of Star Wars working on them. He was a little worried about the black/red haired girl dressed in a black combat dress with red ascents, a black belt with a silver rose buckle, and red cape. She just wouldn't leave the machines alone before Artoria pulled the younger teen into a headlock. Something the older sister wasn't too happy about it seems as she yelled at the wolf girl.

"You let her go!" Yang shouts as she reaches for Artoria's shoulder. "She didn't do anything wrong!"

Artoria shrugged Yang's hand off with a growl still holding Ruby tightly. "After the tenth time of being told not to mess with anything it's either this, or my mother dealing with her. Take your pick of it." She says calming looking down at Ruby. "You will stop trying to take the mobile suits, droids, and weapons apart young lady. This is the last warning you'll get before you get duck taped to a chair."

"Fine!" Ruby shouts waving her arms still in a headlock. "I just wanted to learn something cool is all for our weapons!"

"How about finding out way they aren't working!" Yang shouts as her eyes turn red for a moment.

Blake sighs face palming. "We're not on Remnant anymore, so whatever is in the air back home isn't here. That makes our Dust no better than powered crystal." She explains with Weiss nodding her head. "We'll need to still get new weapons if we want to fight those things."

Kirika holds up a book titled "Monster Manual" and has it opened to a page with the panther like creature. "Found it! We've got a small pride of Displacer Beast and they are very smart. They can remember schedules for attacking caravans and the like." She blinks as the four Gundam pilots, Team RWBY, and The Unexpectables look at her. "What?"

"That's from a game?" Panic asks walking over and looking at the book for a moment. His eyebrows rise reading the information about the Displacer Beast. "Damn. I've got to remember that about they love to kill."

"And us without any Blink Hounds." Remy sighs sitting down next to Dr. Wily. "This must be even worse for you, Dr. Wily. As a man for science from a world that does use magic, this must be very hard to deal with."

Wily just shakes his head with a smile. "It's the opposite as this has me thinking of ways to counter this creature's power. How does this creature's power work so we can deal with them, young lady?" He asks making Proto Man shake his head smirking.

"It's at the top here that it gets its name from displacing light to appear several feet from where it really is." Kirika says before handing the book to Panic. "We've got a way around this with thermal tracking. We can follow its body heat without much trouble."

"A good idea." Wily says thinking for a moment. "However, most means of doing that are still fairly large and can't be worn to free up your hands. Unless anyone has any ideas?" He asks looking around the group.

Silva holds a small flame on the tip of her finger. "There are a few spells that do the same thing, and we do have some visors as well. Plus, a few of us have relics that can let us see heat as well. We might just be able to deal with them." She says making an image of the Displacer Beast as Panic holds the book for her to see the picture.

Artoria lets go of Ruby as soon as she sees Genjūrō and her mother walk into the hanger bay. "We'll get you girls geared out with working weapons later. Right now we best get around to you all meeting the commander and our mother." She says as Flay, Mordred, Lilith, and Fran go over to hug their mother.

Blake walks over to Silva as the girls take turns hugging the wolf woman. "You girls aren't Faunus at all, are you?"

"Nope." Silva says with a toothy grin that shows a set of fangs. "We're from off planet kitten." She chuckles offering a handshake. "I'm Silva Silvermist the kitsune and wielder of Luna Arrow. It's nice to meet you and you can take the bow off. No-one is going to give you crap about the ears." She chuckles seeing Blake's eye widen. "You twitch your ears a lot when stressed kitten."

Blake shakes hands with the kitsune girl and takes her bow off. "A normal thing I take it?" She asks taking note of Fran being the odd one out, but still getting a big hug. "Is she a rabbit?"

"More than you know and yes. Fran's closer to a hare really." Silva says still giving that toothy smile. "Don't worry about as we have other things to worry about. Like these six legged and mean panthers." She frowns looking at the Displacer Beast illusion she made and shivers.

Borky gets up and is quickly pulled back down to sit by his friends. "What?! I was just going to say hello."

Greckles sighs. "Let's just try and be a little calmer about it, Borky. You also tend to just say the first thing that pops into your head." He points out as the Redmoon family joins the group again with their mother.

"I'm sure you all have questions as to what is happening, and we will try to answer them." Morgana says walking over to Silva's illusion and growls at it. "Nasty looking beast that ended up here with you guys. Unfortunately, it is not the only one out there and not alone in that fact either."

Remy groans running his hand over his face. "What else has shown up, ma'am?"

"A few robots that Dr. Wily may know about and one blue bomber as well." Genjūrō says looking to Wily who puts his hands up in understanding. "A few wolf-like creatures that faded to ash with white bone masks for some reason, so I'm going to guess they won't be a problem." He notes the worried looks of Team RWBY. "Last of it is another handful of mobile suits that I'd like to get in contact with. So far they've not responded to us."

"No other giants for us to remove then?" Duo asks getting a look from the Unexpectables. "You guys do see our Gundams getting cleaned up and turned across from us, right?"

"Did you take a trophy?" Task asks Duo to only sigh when the boy shakes his head "no". "Why not?"

"It's not my thing and who wants a trophy like that? Where would you even put it really?" Duo asks as most of the others agree with him. "If it's your thing that's fine, but we have enough to deal with as is."

"Fair enough. It's just something my people do after a battle with a strong enemy is all." Task explains trying to figure out the wolf girl, their mother, and the rabbit like one starting close to her human twin. "Seeing how largely different our groups are I can only guess how much of a headache this has been."

"You're not the one that had to deal with hiding in a school for a few days with a cracked rib. Only to break it said rib by landing on three girls and four more dogpile onto you." Artoria says getting a few finches from the Symphogear users. "At least it started for them a lower key than it did for me."

"We've got to hear about that later." Borky says. "Right now I want to know just one thing. How do I get one of those sweet looking metal giants?"

"Not happening." Is the response of everyone and the droids in the hanger bay, and even a few mobile suits that turn to give the feeling of glaring at Borky.

"Can you even read?" Fran asks as Shirabe glares at the Orc which makes him start to sweat. "I'm guessing no with how your friends are chuckling." She turns to Greckles who is just looking at the girls with a puzzled look. "Still trying to figure us out after seeing us change out of our armor?"

"Among other things like your twin here, but that can wait for a bit longer." The blue Kenku Rogue says as the two young teens look at each other and shrug. "Mordred said something about some of you not being from this world. Did you all and this ship get transported from your world as well?"

"We flew here through pace, and it is not like the space you guys know." Morgana says stepping over to the group. "We're what most would call 'aliens' since we're from another solar system many thousands of miles from this one. The travel is measured in 'light years' to help you understand a little better."

"Light has a travel time?" Panic and Remy ask at the same time. Morgana nods her head with a half grin as this information sinks in on the group. Panic just sighs. "Well that just makes me feel very small now."

Suletta sighs loudly as she sits down taking in this fact again. "Can we get back to those mobile suits? It might be some of my friends out there."

"Could even be some of our friends or enemies out there." Athrun points out as a droid rolls up to him with a data pad in a small claw. "Thank you R5. Commander, do you have pictures of those mobile suits?"

"Right here." Genjūrō says holding up his own tablet as Setsuna steps forward to have a look. He frowns a little not recognize the units. "Duo, you know these units or you Athrun?" He asks stepping back to let the other pilots have a look.

Remy gets up and joins them being curious about the machines. He blinks seeing one of the machines with a one-handed axe with the edge glowing yellow, and another machine with long metal tubes on both arms. It's the four damaged units all have grey armor looking like the Aegis does now.

"That's Heavyarms there, so Trowa is here as well." Duo says pointing to one machine. "I'm not sure about the other units."

"It's the Blitz, Strike, Duel, and Buster Gundams." Athrun says with a sigh of relief. "But that last one I have no idea."

Flay looks over his shoulder and grins. "That's a Zaku II from what I've learned from the anime information here. It might be best if we try talking in person to get someone to talk."

"The battery on my machine is nearly recharged." Athrun says looking at the tablet his holding again before handing it back to R5. "I'm going to try calling my team and Kira if that's alright."

Morgana nods her head to Athrun. "Go for it. In the meantime, I think we should let the girls head back out that brought in the Gundams. It might go better since most of them are friends of Duo and Athrun." She nods to her girls and Mordred, Flay, and Lilith each run to the other side of the hanger. "That means all my girls with their own machines as well. They rarely get to just take them out for anything these days."

"Fran, Shirabe, Hibiki, Chris, Silva, and Miku you ready for another run?" Artoria asks getting a nod from each girl before looking down to Task patting her thigh. "Yes?"

"I want to go with you to help in any way I can." Task says but growls as Artoria pats him on the head.

"Sorry, but I can't carry you and fight at the same time if something happens. Also, my sisters can't let you out of the cockpit to use your bow. Otherwise, I'd love to take you along for this easy run." The wolf girl explains so Task understands.

He sighs gently waving her hand off his head. "Fair enough I guess." Task looks around for a moment. "Is there a way for us to watch what happens out there?"

A droid with a green and black paint job with dome head pulls a flat screen over and turns it on. The view from the mobile suits is shown as each one powers up. This impresses the group as some snacks are brought out for them with drinks as well.

"Now this is how you sit out a fight." Borky says with a grin. "I've got twenty gold on the blue one losing an arm." He covers his head as a bucket of popcorn is dumped over him by Proto Man.

Athrun smirks waving Task over as the others are busy giving Borky a hard time. "You can ride with me if you want. What Artoria said is true but I'm not going to let you miss out on this." He whispered before they head for his machine. "If you don't mind helping me mess with my friends that is?"

Task just grins. "I think we're going to get along well."

..==..

"Take it back!" Task yells in terror as the Aegis flies with Athrun laughing. "You take that back right now, Yzak!"

"At least we know that jammer is moving around the city now." Kirika says from the shoulder of Deathscythe. She ran along to join the group. "Shiri-chan isn't getting all the fun this time and I get to see a Zaku in person, dess!"

Artoria rolls her eyes and looks to the machines her sisters behind the Exia. All three have wolf like ears, a tail each, and each, as Duo pointed out, based around Wing Zero Costume with the beam sabers in the shoulders. That's where looking the same ends as each girl does have a style to their combat.

First up is Flay in a red and aqua blue color theme to her Gundam with extra swords on the hips. She has a pair of handguns and a heavy beam rifle with a shield as well which both are in the hands of her machine. Flay named her machine "Strom Fire".

Second is Mordred in her "Azure Frost" with a midnight blue and ice blue color theme. This unit carries the most guns with even the buster rifle and twin sniper rifles. For the closer range is a double barrel full auto shotgun.

Third is Lilith with her white and silver "White Wind" is the most balanced of the three machines. With a beam rifle in one hand and shotgun in the other at the ready for anything. The huge heavy machine gun like weapon is on the Gundam's back made it clear Mordred isn't taking chance either.

Which brings us to the Silver Blood being a lot bigger than what most everyone thought it was as the ship floats out in the bay, and just short of a mile long. Athrun nearly crashed his Gundam seeing it. That's more for later as right now the group is coming up on the six mobile suits.

Artoria shakes her head to clear her thoughts as they land in the abandon neighborhood. She frowns seeing just what damage the country of Japan was still recovering from.

"As if things won't bad enough for them with me showing up like I did." The red-haired wolf girl mutters.

"What was that?" Setsuna asks turning the Exia's head to the left to look at Artoria.

"Just me muttering about things. Don't pay it any mind, Setsuna." She says jumping forward in full power mode again. "Let's get this done so I can get a chance to relax with my family for a bit."

Heavyarms steps forward with the Zaku close behind like it was hiding. That seemed a bit off to everyone till they heard the pilot's voice. "H-hello? Are you friends of Trowa?"

"Yup! I'm Duo and who might you be?" He asks as Silva joins Artoria in the air. "These are some new friends of mine as well. How's it going talking to your team, Athrun?"

"Pretty good really. They should be powering up their machines in a moment." Athrun says as the Blitz, Buster, Duel, and Strike change color as they power on. "There is one problem."

"Besides the kid in the Zaku?" Chris asks from Azure Frost's right shoulder. "What else can happen today?!"

"Did you really just ask that?" Task asks as the other SEED Gundams join the group. "Also you guys can get in on this at anytime you know?"

"I still can't believe you made friends with a real Kobold, Zala." Yzak says as the Duel looks to the two flying girls. "Magical girls as well?"

"You are very off the mark. It's closer to tech but they do have magic." Suletta says with a giggle. "Just wait till you see their ship and their mom. Fran's a rabbit and Silva is a kitsune just so you know."

The Duel nearly falls face first with Yzak shouting something obscene. This gets a laugh from the others as Artoria flies over to the Zaku to see the pilot. She was thinking the voice sounds like it belongs to a young girl and she hopes to be wrong. Her mother might adopt another daughter, not that she would mind.

To the wolf girl's shock it really is a young girl of about eleven and hugging a wolf plushy after opening the hatch. "Are you a good wolf?" The girl asks, her blue eyes hidden a little behind a mess of dark green hair.

"I am. I'm Artoria and you would be?" She asks kneeling down to with a gently smile on her face. "You're so cute!"

"I'm Korra." The young girl says blushing a little. "Are you going to take us someplace safe?"

"Yes, Korra. We're going to my mother's ship where you'll be safe till we can get you home." Artoria says reaching out to the girl and is a little surprised to be hugged quickly by Korra. "You've had a long day I see."

"I don't think my home is there anymore. There was an attack by pirates and no one could stop them." Korra mutters before falling asleep in Artoria's arms.

"Guess I'm driving now." The wolf girl chuckles softly picking up Korra and stepping out of the Zaku to float in the air again. "Well, I can think of worse thing to happen. Fran, can you take the Zaku? I can't fit in here with these metal wings."

Fran glides over and into the mobile suit before the Blitz looks her way. "The Legged ship is here as well, but we don't know where yet." Nicol says in a near whisper. "Or Archangel as Kira knows it. We're also really low on power as well."

"Silva, I'll be leaving you in charge will Fran and I lead these guys back to the ship. We still need to get Mega Man and the others." Artoria says over her comm to Silva. "Also check on those Grimm to make sure they are really dead. We don't need more surprises today as is."

Silva nods her head before looking at Heavyarms. "What about Trowa here?"

"I've still got eighty percent of my ammo and fuel for flight if needed. I can stay and help the others." Trowa answers lifting the left arm of his machine to show one of the two very deadly Double Gatling Guns it has.

"I'm starting to feeling like I'm copying these things." Chris says holding up her double Gatling guns as well. "Maybe Silva and I should ride on Heavyarms for a bit?"

"I'm feeling a little out gunned here." Dearka says before everyone starts to 'boo' him over the comms. "Well don't give me the ammunition for these things." He laughs as the five G-weapons and Zaku start walking for the dock area.

"Yeah, you were really gunning fire it."

"Shut up, Yang." Morgana says. "Don't even try testing me either, young lady. I'm a mother of four and I'm also the one to teach them their combat magic on top of fighting style. I'll happily beat the puns out of you."

"Should I risk it?" Yang asks with a note of mischief in her voice.

"Do you want to live? Because mom can and will break you down in a fight hard." Artoria says leading the group with a grin on her face. "But if you really think you got a chance I won't stop you."

"For the love of god woman! Do you want her to die?!" One of the hanger crew shouts knowing full well what Artoria was doing.

..==..

Yang smirks as she stretches out and making a show of it to prove Morgana didn't worry her. "Just how strong can she be without that flashy armor others girls have. She doesn't even have aura like we do, so I know I can take the old dog."

Everyone flinched as Yang's face finds the floor hard and she feels her aura go down by half.

"Somebody's mouth got her in trouble." Artoria laughs before Yang shots to her feet, ready to fight. "And here I thought you had a better mind than this, Yang. You asked for the moment you called mom an 'old dog'. You really should think before you speak."

"I'll make you pay for setting me up!" Yang yells as her eyes turn red and flames start appearing from her hair. "Just so you know the more hits I take the more powerful my punches get."

Morgana shakes her head as she pulls out her tonfa and spins them between her fingers. "It would seem you get angrier as well, and that is going to make this easy." She says with a grin that scares the others of Team RWBY and The Unexpectables. "Let us see if your 'aura' can help you with a combat master."

Yang rushes forward while trying to fire Ember Celica but the Dust still won't work. As she throws a punch, Morgana knocks the punch to the side while driving a knee into Yang's gut. The young blonde huntress feels her aura drop again to near breaking and her Semblance nearly overloads. The wolf woman steps back before driving her tonfa into Yang's shoulders. Yang has never felt so overpowered before and this woman is doing it without aura of any kind.

"What did your sister mean by every hit making her stronger?" Greckles ask as the fight keeps going. Even as Yang puts light dents in the floor (the deck plating is extra tough since it has to take a mobile suit walking or even falling on it). "Uh, was she always this strong?"

"Yang's semblance lets her absorb kinetic energy and power her hits with it." Blake explains as Morgana swats Yang hard in the ribs and the flash of her aura breaking is seen. "That was her aura breaking! She's had enough, Morgana!"

"I can keep going!" Yang yells before hitting a barrier that the wolf woman put up. "Wh-what the hell?"

"We don't have this 'aura' you keep talking about, but that barrier is a kind of magic. A shame it is very weak." Morgana says before spinning low and landing a kick in Yang's gut again that launches the girl off her feet. "I see I'm going to be giving you girls some lessons in combat and improving your barriers will be part of it."

Genjūrō cracks his knuckles. "I'll be helping as well with getting that temper that anger of yours, Yang. It looks like you are well overdue for this lesson." He says with an aura of fire behind him that scares Yang a lot.

"Master is not going to go easy on your training, Yang." Hibiki says with a chuckle. "But don't worry. I'll be there to help with your training the whole time with my Symphogear."

"You mean taking turns punching Yang across the training room, right?" Miku asks clearly enjoying the idea. This scares the girls from Remnant even more as Panic plays a tune much like the theme of twilight Zone behind them.

"Stop that!" Weiss, Tsubasa, Blake, Maria, and Ruby shout at the Tiefling Bard.

..==..

Silva and Chris each took a shoulder on Heavyarms as the group heads for the parking garage to deal with the Displacer Beasts pride. They picked up Mega Man, Guts Man, and Roll on the way with the last Beowolf Grimm turning to ash near the garage. It was a relief that the Grimm won't be a problem for the time being.

"What made it die like that?" Ruby asks as Suletta leads the group on to the dock. Athrun, Task, Duo, and Trowa stay at the garage with Hibiki, Miku, Shirabe, and Kirika gliding to the ground. Silva and Chris join them with the mobile suits moving around to act as both guard and cameras for spotting movement. "I don't think we've ever heard of a Grimm just dying like that before."

"Could it have something to do with whatever brought us here not accounting for how these Grimm work?" Task asks as the group walks into the parking garage. "They seem like living shadows to me. So, maybe they're just not meant to survive here?"

"I think Task is onto something about the way we were brought here." Weiss says backing the group spot to listen closely. "The Grimm are living darkness with no other way of living as far as we know. We don't even know how they reproduce to keep their numbers so high. All of us and the machines have a steady solid design in how we work, live, and act. The Grimm are soulless creatures that act alive."

"Meaning that they lack the soul needed to stay whole in other worlds?" Shirabe asks with a finger to her chin.

"More like the portal is unstable and leaves them in a state of being incomplete. Trust me when I say unstable portals and the like are not something you want to see a person come out of." Silva says with a shiver. "It's nightmare fuel."

"Is it like paste?" Borky asks before the sound of somebody slapping the back of his head. "Why do you guys keep hitting me in the head?!"

"You have absolutely no idea what tact even is, do you?" Weiss asks as the group turns back to exploring the parking garage for the Displacer Beasts. "I think Silva made it very clear when she said 'Nightmare fuel'."

Silva sighs glad that someone can get the idea she didn't want to say more. "If we get it than I'd like to find these beasts before it gets any later in the day." She says as another slap is heard over the comm to keep Borky quiet.

"The ground floor looks clear. Not even a car to hide behind really." Kirika says looking around and then to the ramp to the next level. "Shall we go up?"

"What about the path leading down?" Task points to the ramp leading to the lower levels. "These creatures will want a dark place as they might not like the light."

"Plus, I'm not seeing anything on the second or third levels." Athrun says as the Aegis slowly lifts off the ground to scan the higher levels. "This lot is empty for the most part. Even the tenth level is clear of anything. No car, trucks, or beasts." He lands the Gundam gently on the ground with a surprisingly soft thud. "I didn't see anything on the thermal either. I guess they must be underground."

"Keep an eye out in case either the creatures or something else shows up." Miku says as they move to the ramp leading underground. "We don't even know when whoever is messing with that relic copy is going to use it again."

As if on cue a rift of blue light appears as a man fall through it. He stands up pulling out dual golden pistols looking around before seeing the group. He's wearing a dark leather jacket, a purple shirt with some image on it, heavy looking sneakers or boots, and has a top knot of brown hair. His green eyes squint as them as he slowly puts one of the pistols away. What looked like tattoos on his face turn out to be some kind of cyber implant and a small red light is above his left temple.

"What the hell is going on here?" The man asks still looking the group over. "What the hell are you even wearing and who's this guy here?" He nods to Task a little shocked to see him.

"First, may we have your name?" Silva asks letting her tails wag and keeping a kind of barrier up to protect Task. "I'm Silva Silvermist. This is Task, Hibiki, Miku, Shirabe, Chris, and Kirika." She says pointing to each of the group as they say hello or wave at the man. Task stands much like a soldier at rest.

"Name's Jackie Welles." Jackie says with a nod to Silva as he offers a handshake. "I didn't think I'd ever see an Exotic so young like you, missy."

Silva just grins showing her fangs. "You better explain that one, Jack."

He puts his hands up in defense. "Whoa there, chica! I meant no disrespect there!" Jackie gulps seeing her ears go flat and all six tails go low. "Your mods! The ears and tail being added on is what I meant. I've only heard or seen pictures of Exotics like you."

"Mods? What like a gene-mod or something?" Kirika asks tapping her chin. "But she's an alien and we don't have the tech for molding genes safely, I think." She crosses her arms thinking for a moment. "Add in what looks like cybernetics that you have I'm going to guess you're not from this world like Task here."

"So this isn't Night City?" Jackie asks a little shocked as he looks out of the garage. He sees only the feet of the Deathscythe and no sigh of the normal rough streets of Night City. "Oh fuck."

"Welcome to my take on this." Task says patting the large man on the knee. "Come on, soldier. We've got Displacer Beasts to hunt."

Jackie just stands there in shock as the facts sink in as both Shirabe and Kirika turn him toward the ramp, and gently push him. He tries to ask a question but stops as Chris pats his arm.

"Just go with it for now, and we'll explain as we go looking for these big cats." Chris says as her gauntlets turns into her double gatling guns. "It's only going to get weirder from here, I'm sure."

"Oh joy." Jackie sighs getting his pistols out and ready for the hunt. He really wasn't going to ask too many questions till he meets someone that is drinking age.

Silva and Miku groan as Hibiki sighs loudly before saying. "Can we get Jackie on our comms to hear this, please? It'll just save us time with Borky being…well Borky."

..==..

"But it has an ax!" Borky yells as Fran walks the Zaku to an open bay as Artoria heads for medical with Korra. "We have to fight it!"

"You'd be a stain on the floor before you got a hit in." Fran shouts at the Orc as she jumps down from the cockpit, and lands in front of him. "Can you please behave yourself for an hour at least, Borky? This is stressful enough as is for everyone."

Borky looks to the other machines as they are also parked in open bays and four of them change colors to grey. "Fine, but I still want to have one for our tavern." He says walking back to the other and sitting down.

"Again, not happening." Fran says as she walking to Kira as he steps off the lift from the Strike's bay. "You want to try calling the Archangel again before getting some food? It might be best to give the comms team the frequencies needed to watch for."

Dearka walks over with Nicol and Yzak hearing Fran talking to Kira. "It would be a good idea. If nothing else they'll have figured out we're not on our earth any longer." Dearka says watching a few of the females of the hanger crew go by. "I'm guessing they aren't Coordinators from the faunas groups, huh?"

"Nope. We're your first alien race to meet." Fran says with a grin waiting for Kira to say something.

Shaking his head Kira pulls a disk from his pocket. "Uh, yeah. Here's what your comms team will need, Fran." He says as she takes the disk and bolts like lighting for the nearest door. "Whoa!"

"She must be worried about the girl my daughter took to medical." Morgana says walking over to the boys as Suletta joins with Setsuna. "Your Gundams should be charged in little while. Till then why not watch the others with the group here?"

Flay, Mordred, and Lilith join the group with a few others as they bring out snacks and drinks. "I'm sure you boys could use the time to relax before we get to reports." The wolf woman says with a sigh. "Carol! Would you put on normal clothes already!"

A blonde nekomata that looks like Kirika dressed as a kunoichi with clothes of frost green and is really wearing nothing more than a leather leotard with leather stocking and fingerless gloves. She even wears a face mask to finish the look as she shrugs at Morgana's motherly actions.

"I just got back from checking the docks, boss." Carol says taking her mask off. "Nothing out there and no sign of even a hidden ship. Owaga Shinji is a man of the craft like my family." She stretches her arms to either side before grabbing her leotard and pulling. In the blink of an eye, she's now dressed in black sneakers, grey pants, green t-shirt, and white vest.

Kira rubs his eyes seeing two more girls with cat ears and with two tails each. It the reaction of Tsubasa and Maria to them is priceless to Morgana. They have seen Chris and Shirabe next to Silva and Fran already. So, they nearly going bug eyed at seeing Cathy, Sakura, and Carol got a laugh out of the wolf woman. It only got better as Vanessa Diodati, Millaarc Cranstoun, and Elsa Bête join the group with two more. The fact Tsubasa jumps into Maria's arms seeing a kitsune form of herself. She just doesn't understand why this is getting such a reaction from the humans, and then she remembers they are the odd ones to the humans.

"You two are looking as good as ever." Millaarc teases the two singers before the Maria twin pokes her in the ribs. "Fine, fine. I'll stop picking on them."

"Sorry about her. I'm Eva Goodwill and this is Sapphire Blazer." Eva says as she points with her tail and thumb. Maria just nods her head at taking in the wolf woman twin of herself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both." Sapphire says bowing to the two humans. "I know how you feel in seeing another like yourself, Tsubasa. It took a bit for me to calm down as well."

Millaarc giggles hopping into the air and hovering in her new clothes. It took a lot to get her wear pants, but it was worth it. Those red pants are near skintight with white sneakers, and a red tank top. The flying fox, or bat girl, is just happy to be alive once more after all that happened.

"Vanessa, Elsa, and Millaarc are under our care as they recover more from being restored." Eva explains to Maria, it did explain why both women dressed like Morgana only with black stockings and white shirts. "As you can tell we've got to watch over the new flying fox a little more."

"Well, she is just happy to be back, and I can't blame her." Vanessa says as Elsa talks with Ruby and having a good time. "If you think you two are having a rough time. Just think how we have been doing. Not that I mind since it means I'm much more flesh now."

"Just be careful with your arms since we haven't gotten them back yet." Sapphire says gently grabbing the new bronze dragoness' left arm to check what looks like a silver gauntlet. "These still need a little time to finish linking to your nerves but you'll have working weapons soon."

Tsubasa leans closer curious of the gauntlet and sees it's a part of Vanessa's arm. She finds the bronze scales to be just as interesting as the gauntlet. "Is that all that you need now?"

"Yup. Whatever that energy creature that got us somehow ate some of my arms somehow." Vanessa says looking a little sad. "But I get magic, fire breathing, and some really cool beam swords out of it." She smiles looking very happy and shows her right arm with a matching gauntlet. "I think I got a beam like shield as well with these things."

Proto Man helping Guts Man sit down and a team of techs get to work on checking him over. He sighs as a few more techs check over Cuts Man as Roll and Rush are given energy drinks for robots like them.

"What the heck happened out there, bro?" He asks turning to Mega Man.

"It was one of those strange werewolf looking creatures before I could dive them off. Turns out they don't take well to my blaster." Mega says sipping his drink. "I'm more surprised at you and Wily being so well behaved."

Proto chuckles sitting next his brother and looks to the group as Weiss talks with Genjūrō and points to the flat screen. "It was the doc's idea really to play nice with everyone. It's one of his smarter ideas really with how playful most everyone here is. From real magic to aliens and weapons using songs to battle? I think I'm good with being the good guy for a bit." He says taking an offered energy drink and takes a few gulps. "Dang! That's some good stuff!"

"Testing? Uh, testing?" Jackie says over the comm.

"We hear you just fine, Mr. Welles." Elsa says getting a chuckle from the man. "It looks like we can see what you're seeing as well."

"Let's hope that's all you see for now, and I mean cutting the link when we're done here." Jackie says getting a playful shove from Silva. "Some really nice rides down here, but no sign of these beasts yet. So, you're a wolf girl?"

"Y-yeah. I'd like to be human again, but this is just as good." Elsa says as Ruby hugs her. "It's a long story but it has a happy ending with us being alive."

"And you get to make so many friends too!" Ruby says with a big grin as she nuzzles the top of Elsa's head.

"Quite down some. I think we just found the Displacer Beasts." Miku says pointing to the open mail truck and a pair of eyes looking at them. Only for a small cub to come walking over and start playing with Hibiki's scarf. "Oh dear, this might be worse than we all thought."

"You think mom is going to attack us?" Kirika asks before the small pride walks out from the truck and one with a scar over its missing left eye walks up to Jackie.

Before anyone anything can be done the old alpha rears back and gently pats the man on the arm. This just leads to more surprise as the other Displacer Beasts treat the group to loud purring and nuzzles.

"We found the one pride that's friendly?" Shirabe asks as Hibiki picks up the cub and gets nuzzled by the cub, and mother. "I'm still ready in case… Argh!? Not the face!" She spats as a light grey Displacer licks her in the face looking very happy messing with the young teen.

Weiss covers her face with a loud sigh. "How is this any better?"

"It just means we might be able to move them with little trouble." Genjūrō points out. "The book did say they are as smart as we are. We just found some that break the stereotype is all and I'll take that as a win for today."

..==..

Artoria paces back and worth as she waits for the medics to check over Korra. So far a few things won't adding up as the eleven-year-old has dark skin, white hair, and pointed ears. It all points to her being a dark elf of some kind but that didn't seem right to her. She stops pacing as an older woman with graying hair and coyote ears and tail.

"How is she Karin?" Artoria asks the chief medical officer.

Karin Chakwas sighs looking at her tablet. "Well, she's going to be fine. She was a little dehydrated and sleep deprived. Which was why she passed out in your arms." Karin says with a smile. "Now for the odd thing about her. She's not human as near as I can tell." She turns the tablet so the young wolf can see what is on it. "I'll need a little more information but she has genes that don't match to the humans here."

"You used a passive scan on them?" Artoria asks a little uneasy at the idea.

"Only a few of them and with their permission." Dr. Chakwas says with a grin. "We got a lot from their medical data as well. Anyway, I believe she's a young half dark elf. We'll know more once we have the data from the mobile suit she was in."

Fran slides to a stop next to the two with her ears flat for a moment. "Is she okay?"

"She's fine, Fran. She just needs to rest for a bit." Dr. Chakwas says patting the younger girl on the head. "Why don't you two go check on the rest and then relax? You've been running like wild for most of the day. Doctor's orders."
