*Adam, OOH Ruby, Jenkins and Melody have gathered up all of the Kitsune.*
Adam: Jesus Christ.
OOH Ruby: Is that all of them?
Jenkins: Esmerelda, Hermes, Jasper, Ares, Videl, Sebastian, Nowi... I think that's all of them.
Melody: Um, Damien, where's Chrom?
Jenkins: SHIT!
Adam: I'll give Hector a call.
"Alright, Glynda it's your turn." Raven said passing the book to Glynda.
"Time to see what's-" Glynda said before something came out of the vents, scaring Raiden and Boco.
"What the hell is that?" Yang said, as a baby Kitsune boy crawled onto Alicia's lap.
"Um, what?" Blake said.
At that, an android walked out of the elevator.
"Hey Hector, what's up?" Tronmaster asked.
"Adam called me to find out where-" Hector said before he saw the baby Kitsune, "Hey Chrom, your parents are worried about you." He added, taking the baby Kitsune and entering the elevator.
"With that, I think I'll start reading." Glynda said, opening the book.
[No P.O.V.]
[Team RWBY Dorm]
"Guess it's back to team RWBY's Dorm." Sun said.
"Yep." Neptune said.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Winter said.
Within Team RWBY's Dorm, Summer and Winter had joined the team in their dorm to discuss the Chocobo...
"Before I forget, Boco is an iconic name in the Final Fantasy series." Tronmaster said, "It's sort of a recurring thing."
"Gotcha." Ruby said, feeding Boco a Gyshal Green.
"Aww~ He's so cute~" Summer gushed as she pet Boco, who in turned chirped.
"He's so adorable!" Calcabrina said, gushing at the Chocobo chick.
Winter, who had now taken off her cast as it had reached the time where it would had been fully healed had she not had Cura used on her, watched this with a slight sweat drop on her head, "I will admit he is pretty cute." Winter said.
"I wonder if we can get individual Chocobo eggs." Weiss said.
"I honestly don't know." Tronmaster said.
Boco peeped once again as he fluttered back into Ruby's hood, which he had deemed his nest, picking up a piece of Gyshal Green Ruby had left in there for him.
"I seriously don't think that a bird like that should be allowed in combat class." Pyrrha said, remembering what was said about the Chocobo.
"Can we keep him mom?" Ruby begged, attempting to use her infamous puppy dog eyes.
"It's hard to resist those eyes." Blake said.
"Even after years of exposure, my resistance eventually crumbles." Yang said.
Summer however was immune to this technique, seeing as she could pull it off even more powerfully than Ruby, but she still couldn't say no to the cuteness that was Boco.
"Yeah, us Roses have the talent of using the puppy dog eyes to get what we want." Alicia said, using the technique on Tronmaster.
"No." Tronmaster said flatly, knowing what Alicia wants.
"Please?" Alicia said, cutely.
"No." Tronmaster deadpanned, as Alicia amplified the intensity.
"RRAGH!" Tronmaster growled, "Fine, fine. Just turn off that damn WMD of yours." He added, typing something on his Scroll.
"I love you." Alicia said, giving Tronmaster a hug.
"Yeah, yeah." Tronmaster said, rolling his eyes, but smiling regardless.
"Of course we can keep this cutie." Summer said, "But his food is coming out of your budget Ruby."
"I know mom." Ruby said smiling as Boco peeped in joy.
Suddenly, a bowl of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream with chocolate syrup, and sprinkles materialized in Alicia's hands.
"Huh, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream." Blake said, "That's Adam's favorite flavor."
"Something I inherited from dad." Alicia said, taking a bite of her ice cream.
This joyous moment was cut off when the ground shook, causing the team and adults to stumble.
"Not good." Jaune said.
Miraculously, the unstable looking bunk beds held.
"What are those ropes made of, fucking Mithril?" Penny asked, flabbergasted.
"What was that?" Winter asked reaching for her sabre.
That's when the speakers turned on, Professor Ozpin himself on them.
"This had better be good." Neptune said.
[FF8 OST: Only a Plank between one and Perdition]
"Guess it's song time." Pyrrha said, as the music played.
'You have no idea Pyrrha.' Alicia thought, "Hey, don't take my ice cream." She added, stabbing Tronmaster in the hand with her spoon.
"Ow." Tronmaster said.
"Oh, you'll be fine." Alicia said as Tronmaster grumbled.
"Attention all students, Beacon Academy is currently being attacked by NEO Galbadian Forces, all students collect your equipment and head to the main building and courtyard to assist in the defense of Beacon." Ozpin ordered, "First Year Students are to defend the Dormitories unless given permission by a Teacher or licensed Huntsman or Huntress. Second Year Students head to the courtyard and fend off further reinforcements. Third and Fourth Years students head through the halls and incapacitate any and all NG Soldiers in the building. This is not a Drill Students, do not underestimate these opponents, especially you Team CRDL."
"Well, crapbaskets." Ruby said.
"I found it kinda funny how Ozpin had to emphasize Team CRDL there." Yang said.
"Probably knowing those idiots, they would've gone into a fight against the NEO Galbadians half-cocked, and would've gotten themselves hurt, or killed." Ifrit said.
"WHAT!?" Weiss shouted.
"Head outside for a moment to call your lockers." Summer said pulling out her scroll and connecting it to the speakers, "Attention Beacon, this is Professor Summer Rose, due to the severity of this situation please do not head toward your lockers unless they are close by your current location. Furthermore I am giving Team's RWBY and JNPR Permission to go wherever they wish on school grounds due to their team's near second year level of combat strength."
"Thanks mom." Ruby said.
"Considering that Summer, myself, along with teams RWBY and JNPR are the only ones on campus with Guardian Forces, we're better equipped of sorts to take on the NG troops." Winter said.
"Let's go." Yang said reaching under the bed to pull out her Ember Celica, which she always kept close instead of stuffing in her locker.
"That's actually smart." Tai said.
"Mom, that won't really be necessary because we didn't exactly have a chance to put our weapon in our lockers after our mission yesterday." Ruby said pulling Crescent Rose out from under her pillow.
"If Ruby could sleep with Crescent Rose under her pillow, she would." Weiss said.
"Sounds like something I would do." Ruby said, shrugging her shoulders.
[With Team JNPR]
"Man, Nora's been silent lately..." Ren said, everyone looking at a very pissed off Nora.
"Oh, right... Shit." Qrow said.
"Just yank it off." Tronmaster said, Diablos doing just that.
"Thanks for duct taping my mouth shut, you-OW!" Nora said.
"Oh you'll live." Diablos said.
"Not again." Pyrrha breathed after hearing the NG were attacking.
"Considering that that Remnant's Sanctum was attacked, not surprised." Qrow said.
"At least they caught us after we grabbed our equipment to train." Ren said pulling out Storm Flower.
"Talk about convenient." Ren said.
"It's quite the coincidence." Quezacotl said.
"Let's break their legs!" Nora shouted.
"SMASH!" Nora shouted.
"Calm down there She-Hulk." Alicia said.
"Guys we need to calm down." Jaune said, "Remember these guys can take on fully trained Huntsmen, sure we have GF's but that doesn't mean we can get over confident."
"Don't get cocky." Tronmaster said.
"Jaune's right, these guys are pretty powerful." Pyrrha said, "At least for most people, but even with GF's on our side we could still be overwhelmed."
"Right, don't get swarmed." Alicia said.
"Freaking Zerg Rush strategy." Tronmaster grumbled.
"Right." Nora said just before she kicked the door open, letting them leave the sparring hall they were in.
Standing outside the door was a red suited NG Elite, standing in between two yellow machines.
"Wait a moment, is that the NG Elite soldier from my teaser?" Pyrrha asked.
"How perceptive Pyrrha." Alicia said.
The machines looked moderately humanoid, but their heads were massive, rotors in their 'mouths' that look like teeth, their arms were bulked and had steel orbs for fists. These werethe older models that could still outclass an AK200 in most departments, this was the GIM47N.
"Wow, those things look ridiculous." Penny said.
"You!" The NG Elite said pointing his gun mounted arm at Pyrrha, "I got demoted to Lieutenant because of you!"
"Huh, I was right." Pyrrha said.
Pyrrha blinked in confusion before she remembered who he was, "You're the one from Sanctum that blinded me!" Pyrrha shouted.
"Guess he's back for some revenge." Nora said.
"Yeah, he's not going to get it." Ren. said.
"No, I'm gonna get my revenge!" The man said as he began to cast a spell, "Fira!" he shouted.
This caused a trail of heat to travel below the ground before exploding under Pyrrha in a column of fire.
"I'd be worried, but I assume that my other has something fire related Junctioned to her defense." Pyrrha said.
"You'd be correct." Tronmaster said.
This ended up failing to do anything because Pyrrha had Junctioned Firage to her Elemental Defense, which in turn healed her from the flame.
"Well, magic is broken." Sun said.
"No kidding." Blake said.
Team JNPR had chosen to Junction spells to the Elemental Defenses they had, Save for Jaune due to Siren not having the ability to junction Elemental Defenses, rather she could help him Junction Status Offense and 2 to Defense.
"Well, that sucks." Jaune said, "No offense Siren."
"None taken Jaune." Siren said, smiling.
Pyrrha had Firaga Junctioned to her E-Def.
Ren had Thundaga and Blizzaga junction to his due to Pademona giving him two slots for E-Def.
"Sounds useful." Ren said.
Jaune had chosen to Junction Esuna to one of his Stat- Def, while not making him immune to any specific Status ailment it did make him much more resistant to them.
"Huh, neat." Jaune said.
Nora had Junctioned Thundaga to her one of her Elemental Defense, which she had learned not only healed her, but boosted the effect of her semblance even further, giving her a bigger charge from a shock.
"Dear Oum, we're doomed." Weiss said.
"Get them!" The NG Elite shouted as the GIM47N's charged the team.
"Yeah, they're scrap metal." Qrow said.
[Outside Beacon]
While the NG assault force was attacking Beacon directly, another figure slipped across the empty area's of the school grounds.
"I don't like this." Winter said.
"Finally, a vent." Clay said as he pulled the vent off, "Not then, how far until I get to that vault Musaline said there was?" Clay muttered climbing into the vent, using his tail to put the vent cover back on, like nothing happened.
"So, Clay is spying for this mission." Tai said.
"Yeah, he seems best suited for infiltration." Winter said.
With good timing too because Team RWBY, Summer and Winter just ran by the very same vent.
"Wow, that was convenient." Raven said.
"We need to find the commander leaping this attack." Winter said as she summoned an Alpha Beowolf to pounce on a GIM47N that was in the way, the Glyph Summoned Beowolf having a hard time damaging the thick plating on the older model machine.
"Damn." Winter said.
At that moment a trio of NG Soldiers jumped in front of them, however these were armored much differently.
They deep violet suits that looked more armored than standard NG armor ad covered their whole body and looked to be all in a single piece instead of the armor over the suit. They wore masks that had two red lenses over their eyes and a grey mouthplate. In their hands were weapons that looked like swords built in the shape of a pickaxe, just above the handle was large ammo box.
"That looks more impractical than a Gunblade!" Weiss said.
"Yeah, those look ridiculous." Tronmaster said.
"Who are these guys?" Weiss asked as Summer cast the Scan spell.
"Discount Cylon cosplayers?" Penny asked jokingly.
"I would've said Cyberman." Alicia said.
[Esthar Soldier: A NEO Galbadian soldier equipped with Esthar technology, making the soldier far more dangerous ad durable. Their swords have a shotgun attachment giving them both ranged and melee capabilities. Weak to Poison]
"Okay, so they're more durable than regular NG grunts, but they're weak to Poison?" Blake asked.
"Hey, don't ask me." Tronmaster said.
"They're called Esthar Soldiers." Summer said, "Leave them to me and Mist Dragon."
"Time to kick some ass." Summer said.
"Are you sure?" Ruby asked.
"I'm sure." Summer said, the others nodded and ran past the soldiers, Summer shooting to keep their attention on her.
"Smart move Sum." Raven said.
"Keep the enemy distracted while your allies kick some ass." Alicia said.
"Get her first, then the others." The Esthar Soldier said.
"Easier said than done." Neptune said.
"Don't bet on it." Summer said as four gold orbs circled up from her feet, 'Come Mist Dragon." Summer chanted as the orbs shot off, "Mist Breath!"
"They're screwed." Penny said.
A cloud of mist formed behind Summer ad began to bulge up from the Mist Dragon bursting it's head free of the mist. The Mist Dragon breathed a slight puff of Mist before rearing it's head back and taking a deep breath. It then shot it's head forward and released a massive burst of Mist that blew the soldiers back as they were stung by the force of the breath, soon getting knocked out.
"Easy enough." Mist Dragon said.
"Wow, that was anticlimactic." Yang said.
[Catching up to Team RWBY]
"Time to see how we're doing." Blake said.
The team was once again stopped by another trio of Esthar Soldiers, however their Lenses were blue and they held their swords with a single hand.
These were Cyborg Esthar Soldiers, immune to Poison, but now having a weakness to electricity.
"Wow, an upgrade, only to suffer another debilitating weakness." Qrow said.
"So, it's pretty much a downgrade?" Winter asked, earning a nod from Qrow.
"I've got this." Winter said, "You girls keep going, get inside and wait for the elevators, the Soldiers will probably try to get to Professor Ozpin's office."
"Yeah, that's not their objective." Raven said.
"Clay made it seem like the attack is nothing more than a diversion." Penny said.
"Are you sure Winter?" Weiss asked.
"I'll show them Calcabrina's power." Winter said.
"My turn." Calcabrina said, her face forming into a grin.
Weiss nodded before Team RWBY ran off into the building.
"Come Calcabrina." Winter intoned as she Summoned the GF.
"Time for me to kick some ass!" Calcabrina said.
An eerie fog floated in, soon followed by the Six dolls of Calcabrina to rise out of it. The Calcabrina dolls all giggled in synch before twirling and jumping into one another, forming the massive Calcabrina doll, which lifted it's arms before slamming it's head into Esthar Cyborgs, knocking them down, it raised itself back up and slamming it's head back down again, repeating this twice more, shattering the cybernetic troops mechanical limbs.
"I hope the others are doing okay." Winter said as Calcabrina laughed.
"Well, talk about using your head." Yang punned, Tai laughing, and everyone else groaning.
"Goddammit Yang." Weiss said.
[With Team JNPR]
"Yes! It's us!" Nora said.
The NG soldier was sent flying into the wall via Manghild.
"Ouch." Sun said, cringing.
"Why are you feeling bad?" Pyrrha asked Sun, "The bastard blinded me."
"What's lower than Lieutenant?" The Elite groaned before passing out.
"Sergeant." Winter and Alicia said at the same time.
"That wasn't too hard Pyrrha said looking at the destroyed machines.
"Considering how powerful our others are, that's not surprising." Ren said.
"And us now!" Nora said.
"Come on, there are more we need to take care of." Jaune said as Team JNPR ran off down a hall.
Just missing the figure of Veil walking past where they stood, heading toward the elevators.
"Yeah, that's not Veil." Summer said.
[With Team RWBY]
"Back to us." Ruby said.
"Hey! Stop!" Ruby shouted at the woman standing in front of them.
"Why do I get a bad feeling from her?" Sun asked.
"Oh! Maybe because 'Veil' here, is a zombie!" Nora said.
"Really Nora? Zombie?" Neptune asked.
"Well, Veil does seem to have some control over undead creatures." Raven said.
The woman turned around emotionlessly, "Don't try to stop me." She said holding out her scythe.
"Not gonna happen." Yang said, "We're gonna take you out and stop you're little attack."
"Hell yeah!" Yang said.
"So be it." The woman said, "I am Veil, one of the eight NEO Galbadian Commanders."
"I'm with Summer, that's not Veil." Winter said.
[FF8 Force your Way]
"Boss fight time!" Ruby said.
"Yeah, I feel like this might be a curbstomp." Jaune said.
Weiss struck first by casting Blizzard, causing a sphere of ice to form above Veil and drop on her head, shattering on impact.
"Heh, it's like dropping an anvil on someone's head in one of those old cartoons." Blake said.
"Guh." Veil moaned dropping her scythe, which dissolved into gunk the moment it hit the ground.
"That's, not normal." Penny said.
"Yeah, I have a bad feeling about this." Pyrrha said.
"That's not supposed to be normal..." Ruby said.
"ThaT'S rIGHt." 'Veil' said, her voice growing distorted as she slumped over slightly, her movements becoming twitchy, "I'M JuST hEr DOUble fOR this MisSIoN."
"What. The. Fuck?!" Ren said.
"What the hell?" Blake asked.
At that moment 'Veil' lunged toward Ruby, intent of biting her, only to be stopped by a shot from Crescent Rose that sent 'Veil' flying backwards and collapsing I a heap in front of the elevator.
"That's just disturbing." Qrow said.
"Does anyone else know what happened?" Weiss asked.
"Yeah, that thing isn't dead you dolt!" Weiss said.
"Calm down Snowflake." Ruby said, rubbing Weiss's back.
'Veils' body suddenly sprung up, laughing as it twitched wildly and began to melt in pillars of light and smoke.
"Followed by a monster forming from her melted remains.
"Ugh, that's disgusting." Raven said, recoiling in disgust.
"Just you wait Raven." Tronmaster said, chuckling.
The right half of the monster looked like a corpse, the skin pale white with blue veins visible against the skin as it had sunken close enough to see bone, it's head practically a skull with skin. The left half of the monster was bloated and deformed, it's left leg being so massive it couldn't be lifted, blue guts spilled slightly out of it's abdomen, it's right arm both massive and deformed, with skin stretching from it's shoulder to its head.
Just the sight of the monster caused the faces of several of the readers to turn green, fortunately, Tronmaster had put trashcans next to the chairs of the readers. And thus, Weiss, Pyrrha, Summer, Raven, Jaune, Sun, Neptune, and Winter began to vomit into the trashcans, while everyone else held it in.
"Monty fucking Oum, that's disgusting." Weiss said, as Ruby gave her a water bottle.
"Yeah, no kidding." Alicia said.
"Oh Oum that's disgusting." Weiss said turning green.
"Scanning." Ruby shouted.
"Please, find out how to kill that thing." Blake said.
[Gerogero: An undead monster that is capable of taking a human appearance and can act perfectly human until it decides not to. In battle it utilizes a variety of Status attacks.]
"Ugh, it IS a zombie?!" Neptune said, "Son of a bitch, Nora was-" He added, before vomiting again, as Calcabrina was rubbing his back soothingly.
"We have Ginger Ale if anyone needs it." Tronmaster said.
"Why?" Qrow asked.
"I'm from Michigan, Ginger Ale is used for helping with an upset stomach." Tronmaster answered.
"I'll just accept that." Tai said, nodding his head.
"It's a zombie!" Ruby shouted.
"WHAT!?" The others shouted.
"Blast it with fire." Ifrit said translucently, not fully appearing due to the damage he could cause the school if fully formed, "The undead have two weaknesses, Fire and Holy magic, and seeing as we don't exactly have any sources of Holy magic to draw from at the moment we burn it."
"What I've seen that also works, use a healing spell on an undead creature." Tronmaster said.
"Right, using a spell that heals allies on an undead creature ca actually hurt it." Winter said.
"BWWAAARRRGG!" Gerogero called out just before it began to upchuck bile in an arc that flew toward Weiss.
"Gyaah!" Weiss shouted backing up enough to avoid the bile.
"Ugh, I'd almost forgotten how much of a pain in the ass fighting this thing was." Shiva said.
"Alright, I fry it!" Yang shouted, just before Gerogero's deformed arm stretched out to claw at Yang, knocking her down, "Ow!" Yang shouted. Thankfully Gerogero (And other Undead class monsters) don't have or spread a zombie virus due to their nature of being magical entities given physical form.
"Oh good, no need for this to turn into 'The Walking Dead'." Yang said.
"Daryl or Michonne?" Tronmaster asked Yang.
"Michonne." Yang replied.
"Ah, Daryl's my favorite character." Tronmaster said, Yang nodding in response.
'I'm always surprised at how much Remnant and Earth share.' Alicia thought, smiling.
"You're gonna get it now!" Yang growled, "Fira!" She shouted casting said spell.
"I'm beginning to not like this thing." Penny said.
Gerogero didn't attempt to avoid the attack as it was engulfed in the flames.
Yang smirked in triumph until...
"BWWAAARRRGG!" Gerogero roared launching more bile at Yang, who rolled back to avoid the attack.
"I think I know where Valve got their inspiration for the Boomer from Left 4 Dead." Alicia said to herself.
"Ugh, seeing that makes me want to puke. again." Sun said, his face turning green.
"That's disgusting." Yang said junctioning Firaga to her attack and firing off a series of rounds at Gerogero.
After the tenth Round Gerogero roared before falling over backwards, fading from existence as it died.
"Kill it with fire." Tronmaster said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Winter said.
[FF8 OST: The Spy]
[Beacon's Vault]
The music changed to something befitting of espionage.
"Eh, not the best." Yang said.
"Damn... the hell happened to you Amber?" Clay asked looking at the young Fall Maiden who was currently in a life preservation tank with nasty scar on her face.
"Oh jeez, that's Amber?" Ruby asked, "She looks terrible."
"Yeah, no kidding." Alicia said.
"And Cinder was responsible?" Yang growled.
"Yeah, she did." Tronmaster said, a scowl forming on his face.
"Can you do something about her?" Glynda asked.
"Already on it." Alicia said.
At that moment his scroll vibrated, checking it he learned that he was notified of Gerogero's expiration, "Damn." Clay said, sending out the retreat order, "Those GF users took out Gerogero way too fast, didn't even get much time to search."
"Yeah, we kicked it's ass!" Yang said.
"Still, I feel bad for Amber." Weiss said, "If we ever see Cinder, I'll freeze her ass in a block of ice."
"I've always wondered something." Tronmaster said.
"What?" Ruby asked.
"I'm actually curious if those glass high heels she wears are uncomfortable." Tronmaster said.
"Probably." Glynda said.
Putting his scroll away, Clay sped back toward the vent he entered through, "Veil's gonna be upset her zombie died so quick."
"I'd be upset too." Glynda said, passing the book to Winter.
"Alright, just to be safe, I'll purge the vents in case of anymore intruders." Tronmaster said, typing something on his scroll, before someone burst out of the vent.
"Nevermind babe, someone else is here." Alicia said, slowly drawing Wilt from Blush as she saw who it was.
"Wait a minute..." Jaune said.
"Is that..." Weiss continued.
"CINDER!?" Tronmaster finished.
The now named Cinder Fall later picked herself up, and looked around the room, as Tronmaster drew Devils Requiem.
"Well, shit." Cinder said.
Adam: Well, fuck.
OOH Ruby: The Fall bitch is here?!
Jenkins: Not good...
Melody: Well, the captain's pissed.
