A few things. First off, the Yang vs Tifa Death Battle was AWESOME!

"Speak for yourself, I lost 50 bucks on that fight!"

Never, EVER, bet against Yang Xiao Long. And secondly, RWBY volume 3 premiers tomorrow!

"I sense that people are going to ship Winter and Crow."

But it looks like they hate each other.

"The same can be said with Han Solo and Leia, and yet, they got married and had a few kids."

But Disney severed the expanded universe for Star Wars, so that didn't happen.

"F$ # YOU DISNEY!"

While were on the subject, the new force awakens trailer was amazing. For those of you who are Star Wars fans, go watch it NOW!

"Wrap it up already."

Right, now on to the next chapter of RWBY and-

"DERP!"

Oh come on, not again! I thought we got rid of them all.

"You just had to make 'Derpy Weiss' didn't you?"

You guys read while we deal with this.


"Hey Matt."

The albino Spartan didn't even glance in the A.I.'s direction.

"If you're trying to get me to stop, don't bother." He said.

"Actually," Rico started. "There's a UNSC signal approaching the academy."

Matt stopped and turned towards the A.I.

"Are you sure?" Matt asked.

"Sadly, it isn't Burn." Rico replied, answering the unspoken question. "But it is an old friend."


Entrance to Beacon...

"JACK?!"

The black Spartan stood there, staring at his comrades.

"Yo." He simply said, waving his hand.

"You're one of the guys who attacked us!" Weiss said, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was wrong. No hard feelings?"

He outstretched his hand. Yang then walked up to him and made a move to grab it, only to pull it back and deliver a kick to the groin.

"Yeah, I deserved that." Jack whimpered. "Oh, looks like you got Ruby back."

"Uh, hi." Ruby said. "Who is this?"

"Just a guy who was our friend,, then our enemy, and now he's our friend again." Hicks replied.

"Does that mean he is going to be our enemy again?" Nora asked.

"I, can't really answer that." Jack replied. "I mean, I could get tricked, or possessed, or placed under mind control in the future. But for now, I'm on your side."

"I've got my eye on you." Weiss said menacingly.

"Wait a minute, where's Burn?" Jack asked. " I thought we could catch up on stuff, with the old gang being together again."

"Yeah, about that." Hicks started to say.


A bit of explaining later...

"So let me get this straight." Jack started. "Penny, who is a robot, got reprogrammed by and evil version of RWBY, led by Burn's evil twin, who is plotting global anarchy, and now, Burn is dead?!"

"That sums it up." Grant replied.

Jack stood there for a moment, taking the information in.

"How's Matt taking it?" He asked.

"I'm fine."

Everyone turns to see Matt standing in the doorway.

"And I don't need your sympathy. Nor do we need your help. This concern's Burn Squad, not you."

"But I was your former leader." Jack protested.

"No, you were Destro's former leader." Matt replied. "Burn was our former leader, and now I'm in charge."

"Says who?" Hicks asked.

"Says RWBY." Matt said. "They put me in charge before I gave leadership to Burn, and now, I'm in charge once again. Is that a problem?"

"Look Matt, you're stressed out." Grant said. "Maybe you should take a bre-."

He was interrupted when two blades came out of Matt's left wrist. The black and red Spartan took a few steps back as the suicide bomber glared at him menacingly.

"I'll take a break after I get payback." Matt hissed. "Now, let's go."

"Where?" Hicks asked.

"Patrol the city." Matt replied. "Scour every inch until we find where they're hiding. And we aren't going to stop until we do. Is that clear?"

"But." Hicks was cut off when the wrist blade was pointed towards his throat.

"Is, that, CLEAR?" Matt asked.

"Yes, sir." Hicks whimpered.

"Good, now move."

Hicks looked towards Grant, who stared back. Then they started walking towards the landing bay.

"Why don't we come with yo-"

"STAY OUT OF THIS!"

Ruby backed away as Matt stared her down. Then, he turned to follow his squad mates.

'They'll pay.' He thought. 'They, will, pay.'


"Woah, the disrespect is real."

Matt is walking down a dark path. Will he be able to come back?

"On the bright side, Jack is back."

True, but Matt just brushed him off, along with the rest of team RWBY.

"So, you took the only other funny character of the series, and turned him into a D-bag? There's probably gonna be some hate for that."

Should Matt recover and be himself again, should I bring back Burn, should I nuke Canada?

"Why Canada?"

I have no idea. Anyway, see you next ti-.

"DERP!"

"MOTHER FU-"
