Light in the Black chapter 5
Chapter 5: Message, a scare from the past, and a clone out to enjoy the town
Time: 0200
Location: Remment Beacon academy guest room given to Lieutenant Chappy
As the night went on Chappy was having trouble sleeping due to something going on around him that he did not even think was possible
He awoke in a white room shooting to his feet, he scanned the area not seeing anything like the room he was given. Then he heard it
"Lieutenant It has been a long time" Said a voice very familiar to him
Chappy Turned to see the person as his eyes widened "General Plo Koon? how did you.." Chappy started but was cut off when he was rose off the ground by Plo Koon
"Get here? it is easy, when one with the force after being shot by those you lead.." Plo Koon said still keeping Chappy Hovering
"Shot by... no.. oh no... our nightmare came true..." Chappy said in a distraught tone
"Nightmare? you had these dreams, you all did why was I not told then?" Plo Koon asked he was still not happy about being killed
"We couldn't we could not remember, something was blocking it... we found out what from the people here... it was a chip... the chip blocked it, and if my guess was right it was a control chip.." Chappy said as he turned his face away from the Jedi General ashamed that they could not warn them
"A control chip? ... how many had it?.." Plo koon asked wary of this
"... my guess is we all did... if Ozpin and his staff as well as the students did not help Player we would never have known and he would have died..." Chappy said still ashamed of it
"So the nightmares stayed up until they interfered?" Plo Koon asked
"Yes… but they only worsened seeing team RWBY, JNPR and those here against a firing squad.. of men unwilling to do what happened, but forced to shoot them ... General I know the Jedi can look into someone's mind, I do not know if it's true or not if, so I am fine with you using it to confirm all of what I said.. I am as ready as I can be.." Chappy said looking at him with his tone shaky the whole way
"Whether we can or can not I sense nothing from your words even as I am, however." Plo Koon lowered Chappy down and showed him something "We are in your current Mindscape meaning you are asleep still. In here you can show me these teams and why you wished to protect them." Plo Koon said as Chappy did something unexpected to him
"Yes sir." Chappy said with a salute as he got into a meditative state and showed him teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY and the staff only for Plo Koon to node understanding
"They are what you seek to protect along with your squad?" Plo Koon asked trying to confirm
"Yes we all do.. Ruby Rose the girl in red gave me my name Chappy sir." Cheppy said as Plo Koon nodded
"I sense there is great power with them and you, what changed?" Plo koon asked
"Our Aura was unlocked like those here we all have one, apart from the Grimm, I only hope that we can help keep these people safe.. I am sorry you died Plo... you were not only a great jedi but a great General." Chappy said giving his true statement to Plo Koon
"Chappy you said she gave you that name.. a fine name.. my thoughts of you and your brothers maybe different but your squad never took part in it, one final mission for you then is to protect these people May the force be with you Chappy, for a dark cloud is looms over this school and a growing storm is coming." Plo Koon said for Chappy he snapped at attention
"Sir yes sir we won't let this dark cloud, or growing storm consume these people!" Chappy said with all his heart
"Good now I must leave if I see the others, I will tell them of your squad, though this dimension does keep you away from other dangers. Goodbye Chappy." Plo Koon said as he faded away
As Chappy started to come to after Plo Koon disappeared he sighed remembering that they will never see each other again now but noticed one thing finally
"Dimension? aw crap..." Chappy said as he shook his head
When Chappy woke up he shot up to a sitting position panting slightly with some sweat coming from his brow after wiping it off he got out of bed and looked out the window to see it was still night
"Another dimension eh?, Well guess this is home if the jedi are gone.. and our nightmares come true... the republic.. is gone.. Ozpin... I am sorry that you now have fourteen burdens on your hands..." Chappy said to himself as he took the time to sit on his bed and think on the words His Former General told them -"Dark clouds.. he knew something we didn't now we have to find out what and stop it, for Remnants sake as well as vales.."- Chappy thought as he sat there the rest of the night
**/**\**
The next morning and Chappy had to deal with low amount of sleep the day carried on as normal though as he was passing ports class the bell rang and he saw students heading out for daily routines Chappy on the other hand was trying to figure out how to tell Ozpin that his squads nightmares have come true and the Republic he knew is gone while also trying to explain that his former possible dead general told him dark times are coming yeah his day was going well
"Hey Chappy." Ruby said as she was coming out of ports class "You ok you look stressed." Ruby finished up a little worried about him
"Huh?" Chappy looked to see Ruby in front of him "Oh yeah I'm ok just had a rough night is all." Chappy Half Lied due to he did not want to worry the Young girl he moved passed her waving and going to the spot he normally meets his squad and their pilots in the courtyard for morning training once he arrived they noticed he was not looking well
"Hey Chappy you ok boss man?" Player said as he walked over to him
"Rough night but that isn't the half of it... guys the Republics gone... our nightmares came true... The general stopped by and looked for answers..." Chappy said as he could see the morale for them just took a dump big time
"You have to be kidding me all we did.. all those men... we fought for nothing?!" Crack shot surprisingly shouted at Chappy
"We fought for the Republic Crack shot! whether it was or was not for nothing has yet to be seen... we can only hope that someone will take up the mantel and finish what we started... we are stuck in this dimension after all." Chappy said making sure Crack shot kept his voice down
"What?" Six shooter said confused
"That was what else he told me we are in another dimension... we are stuck here.." Chappy said finally as they were all silent
"Well that makes our job easier to protect Remnant and vale.. jobs still the same there's still threats out there, Sir go take some time to think this through you seem like you need it I'll handle things here for you." Hawk said as the rest apart from Packer and Chappy looked at Hawk like he grew a Second and Third head
"Thanks Hawk I think heading into vale would do me some good, I'll leave you to this but before I go where's shadow?" Chappy asked he had a feeling something was up with him
"In Vale he had something on his mind as well." Hawk replied as Chappy nodded and started for the landing pads
"You can't be for real on this Hawk." Player said to him
"He is now let's get to work." Packer said as he patted Players back
**/**\**
While they were working on that team RWBY had plans for other things
"Alright it's settled Weiss and I will head to the CCT tower, Neptune and Yang will head to the See what they can Get from Yang's friend, and Sun and Blake will see if they can find out what the White Fang are up too." Ruby said summarizing what everyone's doing
"One question, will that Shadow guy be with us for this too he seemed pretty help-" Sun tried to finish before Blake Piped up
"No he wont we are not there to kill, just learn. Seems all that Shadow can do is kill, the others maybe but not Shadow." Blake said still having not forgiven Shadow for what happened at the docks some time back
"Alright should we get going?" Sun asked as they started out for there little investigation
**/**\**
As they were going about this Chappy was heading down the street near downtown vale
-"I really never thought I'd hear that the Republic was wiped out, man I need a drink."- Chappy thought to himself as he kept walking and finally after 30 minutes got to a place that looked somewhat alright and went inside
Upon walking in he saw it was a dance club but decided to go over to the bar side of it as a guy in a white dress shirt with a black vest over the top, a red tie, black gloves With gray eyes, short black hair, and a black beard with a mustache.
"Hey Welcome what'll you have?" The bartender said
"Something strong is all one shot though." Chappy said not really wanting to get drunk but just enough to help him understand it
The bartender gave him what he asked for and in a second Chappy downed the drink and started to think carefully on what he was told
-"So we are in another dimension, How did that happen... my orders wer.. this isn't the planet I was ordered to, Now I get it some short of portal or something came up.. wonder why the pilots didn't notice.. odd but still, we are here now, and we will help this world survive I guess, the guys are gonna be wondering what I am on when I get back."- Chappy Thought as he got up and put enough to pay for the drink on the counter though when he turned to leave he saw two guys at the door and the door blow up taken back by this he wasn't sure to hit the deck or not
As the door blew up Yang walked though as three words echoed through the room "Guess who's back." with that Chappy was about to go talk to her when several guys got around her and had their weapons aimed at her and Chappy saw a boy with blue hair behind her
Not wasting anytime Chappy moved around to the side and took out his Blaster pistol he kept with him and moved in close and then aimed at one of the guards and spoke up
"Think you all may want to rethink this before someone gets hurt." Chappy said as four of the guards saw him with a weapon aimed at them but before anyone could do anything the bartender came up
"Woah woah stop stop no one shoot!" He said hurrying over unsure how it would end and after clearing his throat speaking to Yang "Blondie you're here why?" he asked
"You still owe me a drink, and Chappy why are you here?" Yang said figuring two birds with one stone at the moment
"Long story but at first a drink now backing you up." Chappy said with his weapon aimed still keeping his guard up
"Right.." Yang said as she grabbed the bartender and went to the Bar
"What a woman." Neptune said but before he could even try with the two across from him Chappy grabbed him and dragged him to the bar
"Not a good idea kid." Chappy said while dragging him
After a couple minutes of talking getting them nowhere Chappy decided to give a hand
"Like I said Torchwick came in hired some of my guys and they never came back." The bartender said
"So wer-" Neptune saved from asking that question by Chappy
"Missing men no idea where they went, sounds like a bad day for you, from what I'm getting you know almost everything around here yet this escapes you, that's gotta sting right in your pride as an info broker I believe." Chappy said though confusing Yang and Neptune but the bartenders reaction was different
"Hey it's not that I can't find out it's just that when my guys disappear I can't really get what I need you know?" The bartender said in defense
"I get it but really you are not making your day any better now why don't you tell us what you do know anything that may help and if you have anything more why not contact me or her?" Chappy said as he saw the bartender sigh and nod -"Works every time."- Chappy thought to himself
"Ok far as what I do know they're working on something up north outside the kingdom don't know what, but they are that's all I know but if I hear anything else I'll send you or Blondie a message." The bartender said as Yang gave a slight smile
"Thanks Junior have a nice day." Yang said walking away with Neptune and Chappy as Junior got himself a drink
**/**\**
Outside of the Club Chappy stopped the pair
"Alright I helped ya get some information, but I want you to tell me what this is all about?" Chappy said wanting a few answers
"Well we're doing our own investigation into whats going on around here with the White fang, you aren't gonna stop us right?" Yang said with a slightly scary face
"Yang you want to try and scare me you're gonna have to try a lot harder than that." Chappy said completely unaffected by her looks
"Um.." Yang was slightly shocked at that
"Trust me you're talking to a soldier who's seen way too much. Now I won't stop you but I'm gonna help you that much you ain't getting away from." Chappy said looking at her with eyes that rivals miss Goodwitch
"U-um y-yes sir." Yang said -"How is he as scary as miss goodwitch?!"- Yang thought to herself
"Good now where to next?" Chappy asked as he walked over to her bike
"Regrouping with the others." Yang said as she got on and put her sunglasses and helmet on
"And that bikes for two people right?" Chappy said as Yang nodded
"Well this is gonna be fun I-" Chappy was about to finish when Yang's scroll went off and Chappy had a really bad feeling hit him just now
The minute Yang opened it she was meet with Blake and Sun saying they were having a lot of issues then passing them by as Torchwick was giving chase
"Made for two or not we gotta move." Chappy said pulling out his blaster pistol again
"Get on." Yang said as he did so and they went after them
During the chase it ended up were Neptune was able to help out along with Sun till they got knocked away Chappy getting one shot takes aim
The minute he fires the round deflects off the armor of the suit and he looks at his weapon confused as heck
"Um Chappy just what was that?" Yang asked confused
"Seems there's metal here that work like Lightsabers meaning I can't touch it with blaster fire. This ain't our day." Chappy said putting his Blaster pistol away
"So hit it till it stops?" Yang asked Cheppy hoping he was on the same page
"Yeah this Clankers gotta have a weak spot we can exploit." Chappy said grinning
A few minutes and the Mech was knocked off the crossway by Weisses Ice field and onto the ground once the five grouped up and faced it down few things went quick
"Plan?" Chappy asked trying to be helpful
"Combined attack we can whittle it down." Ruby said as they got ready
"Right though my blasters not useful..." Chappy said as he got ready with his knife when in idea hit him "Got in idea I'll be in the back got a feeling this might help." Chappy said falling back to a pillar and sat down and closed his eyes to search himself to see if he has the right idea in mind
The group started the fight the girls gave it their all while Chappy was in the rear though as he kept it up Yang flew right by him breaking him out of his search
"Yang you alright?!" Chappy shouted for her to give him a thumbs up while looking pissed he returned to the search trying to help them then a voice came to his head -"Let go and allow your soul to walk."- the voice said as he did so he saw what Yang was seeing as well as Feel her soul and her burning anger
To the girls Yang was glowing like fire more so than normal Ruby started to worry till she saw Roman try to punch Yang with his stolen Paladen
Blocking said punch Yang let out a mighty cry as she punched it and sent Roman flying into a pillar breaking the whole thing apart leaving Roman on the ground when he stood up yang took the chance and started firing at Roman only for it to be blocked in Yang's head she heard -"angle your shot five degrees should cause them to move before they get away"- Yang did so forcing the two to jump back but leaving them open
In a few seconds Roman was on the ground and the one that saved him from the first shot was stuck with Yang's strength pushing her back though to Yang she saw several openings and side swiped the girl infront of her and gave a killer left hook sending her down
To Roman and his partner Neo they weren't sure what the heck happened though that was till Yang went to one knee they took that chance and booked it in there own way out of there
Blake ran up to Yang and helped her stand "You alright?!" She asked worried for her
"I'm fine Blakey though that was a heck of a trip." Yang said laughing a bit
"What happened." Ruby asked her slightly worried
"That wasn't normal was it?" Weiss asked for Ruby to shake her head
"Well heard a voice in my head felt like I had been fighting for several years and saw a lot of memories, Hey where's Chappy?" Yang asked wondering about where he was
Ruby pointed to the pillar he was at for the four of them to see him on the ground like he had been hit and they all bolted to him
"Chappy!" Ruby shouted getting next to him and checking
Weiss kneeled next to Ruby and started checking Chappy to see if he was hurt
"Is he ok?" Blake asked slightly concerned
"He is there's no injuries.." Weiss said confused
Chappy jolted up and breathing hard like he had ran seven hundred fifty Miles
"Chappy you ok?!" Ruby asked wondering if he was alright
"First time, First time I used that and that was intense." Chappy said as he looked at his hands to see them shaking slightly
"Using what?" Weiss asked confused at this
"Well as pyrrha would say it, you got your glyphs Ruby has her speed, my Semblance is a Soul booster with a few side effects, as Yang could tell ya." He said trying to get his breathing under control
"Wait what do you mean?" Blake asked confused
"You were that Voice weren't you?" Yang said as he nodded
"Yup the fight was very intense, workin with ya Yang its why, I said to angle the shot threw them off guard, there good pressure too." Chappy said and finally getting his breath under control
"Those side effects what were they?" Ruby asked confused
"Number one I feel tired, like I had ran around the world seven times in one second." Chappy said looking to Yang
"We see each others memories and feel each other's experiences, weird feeling that's for sure" Yang said rubbing her head
"What.." Ruby said as Blake was looking at the two
"Yeah." Chappy said as he stood up "I am sure you guys will be alright if we head back, because it is late and yeah I can keep Goodwitch off ya, the story of you four showing me around Vale better work?" Chappy said as they nodded and they started back
On the way back Chappy walked next to Blake and Yang for the trip hearing Yang speak up to him
"Chappy... how did you get through all of it?" Yang asked him slightly confused
"Luck, good men, good leader and Friends Yang, thats how.. its how I made it this far, and it's why you felt what I was feeling when I came to your contact." Chappy said not even looking at her
"You really went through it.. but what you learned how.." Yang couldn't even finish due to how crazy it sounded
"Yeah I have no idea, still trying to figure it out, when we get back just don't go telling stories, some of those things.. are better left alone, I'd hate for students to get nightmares over the hellish stuff I saw.." Chappy said as they kept walking
"I won't just.. don't use your Semblance on Ruby she won't... be able to handle it." Yang pleaded With Chappy who looked at her
"If I am left no choice I am sorry but until then I will not alright?" Chappy said as Yang sighed
"That's the best I can get I guess." Yang said as she looked ahead
"I would like to know what was seen, specially if it affects Yang." Blake said looking at Chappy
"War Blake she saw War and all its horrors." Chappy said as he walked away from them
**/**\**
When they returned to Beacon Packer and Hawk walked over to them to see what had happened though had not prepared himself for what they heard
"Wait what you found your Semblance, and you can boost someone's power, but they can see your memories, as you can theres and feel what they feel.." Hawk recapped wondering if he heard it right
Chappy nodded "Yeah Yang found that out first hand." Chappy said
"Draining effect on either of you two?" Packer asked making sure they were ok
"Yeah that part I forgot to say sorry." Chappy said as he looked to Yang
"Hey I'm ok now just was a little tired still am but I can walk and drive alright." Yang said as she walked over
"Medical check up both of you, no exceptions." Packer said as he crossed his arms
"Crap.." Chappy muttered
"Aw man.." Yang Muttered
While those two went to the medical ward with Packer the rest were asked to return to their rooms
