A/N: And here is when the title of this fanfiction is completely thrown out the window.
I am not the owner of TF2 or RWBY, rather a person who sits in front of their computer for long periods of time.
Badlands – RED Base
The Last Stand
Bloody Hell!
Sniper thought as he ran down the corridors of his team's base, currently being attacked and overrun by an unknown enemy. His sniper rifle dangled on his back, SMG and Kukri in hand. He rounded a corner and saw an enemy, carrying a rocket launcher. He raised his SMG and fired a burst at the soldier, who was apparently made of metal and steel. Sparks flew around as the metal body crumpled down to the ground, nuts and bolts scattered all over.
He saw a robotic Scout running towards him in his peripheral vision, and stabbed its head with his Kukri, before unloading another burst at the robot's torso with his SMG. He retracted his oversized-knife and continued running back to spawn, where they will have their last stand against the robot horde, sent by who-knows-who.
As he rounded another turn, he saw a robot Heavy approach from his right side. The Heavy saw the Sniper and revved its minigun up, preparing to tear the Australian to shreds. As it was about to pull the trigger, it exploded into a million pieces, smoke billowing from its remains. After the smoke dissipated, a man in an army uniform and wearing a steel helmet rushed through, one hand holding a pump-action shotgun while the other held a rocket launcher, painted with a turquoise blue.
"YOU ROBOTS ARE NO MATCH FOR AMERICA!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs while turning around and firing his shotgun at an approaching robot Pyro. The shotgun pellets hit the robot and it's body shattered into metal scrap. He pumped his shotgun and continued running alongside Sniper.
When they reached the centre room of the base, they saw the Scout and the Heavy trying to hold off the advancing horde of the metal army. The scout was firing shot after shot from his scattergun at the group of robots entering the centre room, while the Heavy fired his minigun, mowing down the enemy with a glorious display of metal sparks. If he wasn't running for his life, the Sniper would have stopped to marvel the beauty, but he was, so he kept running.
As the duo pushed, shot and stabbed their way through the metal horde, metal parts can be seen flying about the room as robots are torn apart by gunfire or knives. Once they destroyed a small part of the horde, the Soldier and the Sniper slid into the Spawn room, hoping to hold out while in there.
After 10 minutes, the shut metal shutter leading inside the spawn room was starting to fall apart, thanks to the robots constant hammering on the metal sheet.
"We have to go." The Heavy said loudly. The 4 remaining RED team members quickly ran to the back of the Spawn room, where the Enhanced Teleporter was located. Before teleporting out, they each grabbed some supplies of food and water along with ammunition. When they prepared to go into the teleporter, the metal sheet gave up and fell down, letting the robots swarm into the room. The Heavy open fired and tried to hold the horde back while his companions escaped. After Soldier, Sniper and the Scout has been teleported to-hopefully-safety, the Heavy stopped firing and stepped onto the teleporter. The Heavy disappeared in a flash of green light just milliseconds before a barrage of rockets destroyed the Enhanced Teleporter.
Beacon Academy – Ozpin's Office
Team R.E.D. was called in for an emergency meeting by Ozpin. They were in the middle of teaching a CQC lesson when each of their scrolls ringed.
'Come to my office now. Emergency meeting.' The message from Ozpin stated. The Spy dismissed his class and packed his things up along with his team. 5 minutes later, the 5 red-clothed men arrived at the top of tower.
"Good, you're all here." Ozpin stated, voice still calm even though he said it was an emergency meeting.
"Good day sir, whaddya-Wait. Why are they here?" Engi said as he pointed towards the 4 girls of Team RWBY in the room.
"We have reports of a green colored lightning being sighted at the Northern Slums, near the docks." Ozpin stated, fingers crossed together.
"And vai is zat important?" The Medic said while walking one step forward. Ozpin turned his head towards him with a serious expression on his face.
"Because you four arrived in a flash of lightning that day at the docks. These 4 girls from Team RWBY, which you fought when you arrived, have also witnessed it."
"…" Team R.E.D. said nothing as Team RWBY stared between them and Ozpin back and forth. After a moment of silence, Spy unholstered his Ambassador and clicked the hammer.
"Let's go." He said while turning around, Team R.E.D. following him, as with Team RWBY, who were tasked with going along with them.
Vale - Northern Slums
The afternoon sun shined down upon the old buildings, mostly occupied by Faunus to avoid discrimination against them, which was extremely commonplace in the entirety of Remnant.
The calm ambience suddenly turned around as a flash of green lightning appeared and struck the ground between the slums, creating a loud thunder and making sparks dance. The occupants of nearby buildings were dumbfounded by the appearance of a lightning during the hot afternoon where there were no clouds. After looking at the place which the lightning struck, the passersby's were startled at the sight of 4 men lying on the charred ground. Their clothes were slightly burnt and torn. One of them, wearing a hat, sat up and looked around dazed.
"Uh…Where are we? I remember going through that teleporter and-Whoa take it easy there mate!" He said as a White Fang militant raised a gun at him. The nearby pedestrians backed away as they saw more White Fang Faunus came running with swords and clubs in their hands.
The Sniper slowly stood up as his friends woke up, dazed from the teleportation. He raised his hands slightly in the air, signaling surrender. His right hand made a small movement, his index finger pointed downwards. The other 3 men recognized the gesture and all pulled out their weapons, startling all those at the scene. The Sniper ducked down and swept the feet of the Faunus holding him at gun point, making him fall to the ground. As he did this he took his SMG out of it's holster and fired a burst at the terrorist's head, splattering his brains as he let out a scream of agony that was quickly silenced. The Heavy pulled out 2 of his shotguns and shot down 4 more members as he screamed a war cry that could be heard from miles away. The Soldier rocket jumped high into the air, much to the amaze and horror of the White Fang militants, and fired 4 rockets at the group below him. The group was destroyed with body parts flying around and blood splattering, screams dying in the fiery explosions. The nearby bystanders all ran off screaming in fear of being killed by the strange assailants. The Scout ran around, dodging all shots fired towards him and breaking several necks with his metal baseball bat, which he named 'Snappy'.
Soon, the combined efforts of the 4 men left the originally 30 member strong White Fang patrol all either shot, splattered, necks broken or just generally dead.
"Wankas!" Said Sniper as he spat on a dead body.
"Who are these guys, anyways?" The Scout asked while standing on a militant's body. The rest of his team shook their heads, all wondering the same question. As the Scout looked around, he saw many humans around, all cowering in fear. Upon closer inspection, Scout noticed that the 'humans' each have some sort of animal parts. The body he was standing on had 2 tusks, while the one Soldier is sitting on has cat ears.
"Uh, guys? I don't think we're in the Badlands anymore." The Scout said as he turned towards his team. He told the team what he noticed, and their eyes became wide-eyed, except for Soldier, of course.
"YOU COMMUNIST SCUM ARE NO MATCH FOR MURICA'S BEST SOLDIER: SOLDIER!" He said while shooting a dead body with his shotgun.
"Mate, mind telling us where we are?" The Sniper asked a man hiding behind a crate, shivering in fear.
"T-t-t-t-t-t-the Northern S-Slums!" He said, stuttering. The Sniper nodded and told his team their location. Suddenly, the team heard a voice all too familiar.
"Sniper! Heavy! Scout! Soldier!" The Engineer said while running towards his friends. The 4 men that just arrived sighed a breath of relief, except for Soldier, who was still beating a dead body to 'death' with his Market Gardener.
While the reunion was a relief for the now complete RED team, Team RWBY was having a hard time taking in the surroundings.
"Look at all the blood…" Yang said while scanning the blood splattered place.
"Did they kill those White Fang?" Blake asked, eyes widening the size of plates.
"Oh my god…" Weiss was covering her mouth at the sight of a Faunus' brains scattered on the floor. Ruby was simply shutting her eyes tight and holding her nose, the stench of the bodies reaching her nose.
Blake clenched her fists and approached the 4 men that just arrived. They were also wearing red clothes, the same as Team R.E.D.
"Did you kill those Faunus?" She asked, fuming.
"Yes. Before you ask, it's because they pulled a gun on us." Scout sneered.
"But you could've used non-lethal measures! They are misguided, they are innocent!"
"Hey Engi, mind filling us in?" Scout said as he coldly ignored Blake, walking towards the Texan. "Cause, you know, we just – Oh…" Scout trailed off as he stared at something. Engineer followed his gaze and discovered that he is staring at Yang's…Ahem, natural beauty. Yang chuckled and leaned in, so he could have…A better view… (Why am I writing this)
"Scout, don't be a pedophile. She's 17." Spy stated coldly, causing him to wince.
"Alright, alright! Excuse me, Blondie." Scout said semi-professionally.
"Well, uh, mission accomplished?" Ruby said, scratching her head.
-En Route to Beacon-
"So, what you're telling me is, that our base is overrun by robots that look EXACTLY like us?" Spy said in disbelief.
"Spot on." Sniper replied. Spy casted him a sideways glance and sighed. "Well, have you seen BLU Team since the robots arrived?"
"Nah, I saw their base was up in flames, probably those robots too." Sniper breathed while he unslung his sniper rifle, which caught the attention of Ruby, the weapon fanatic/enthusiast.
"Mister? Can I have a look at your gun?" Ruby said meekly. Sniper looked at her and then Spy, which shrugged.
"Who are you, missy?" Sniper leaned in.
"Oh! Right, we haven't introduced each other yet. My name's Ruby. Ruby Rose." She extended her hand to shake.
"Mundy. Though I would prefer it if you'd call me Sniper."
"Well, okay. This, is Weiss." Ruby stated as she gestured towards the white-haired girl who was sitting beside her. "That's Blake," Pointing at the Faunus. "And that's Yang, my older sister!"
"Heya." The blonde waved. The rest of RED team introduced themselves to the girls and had a few conversations in the bullhead en route to Beacon. The girls helped the 5 pre-existing RED team members explain the situation. They managed to cover Remnant, dust, Grimm, White Fang and Huntress and Huntresses in record time, finishing just as the bullhead touched down on the landing platform. Team R.E.D. escorted the newly arrived RED team mercenaries to Ozpin's office.
"So, who's this Ozpin guy?" Sniper asked the Medic in the elevator that was moving at a very slow rate due to Ruby accidentally hitting all the buttons on the way up.
"Oh, he's ze Headmaster here at Beacon. He hired us to be teachers."
"Heavy feel cramped." The Russian complained in a deep voice.
"MmmHmmPhh!" Pyro 'said' as he was being crushed against the elevator door.
"Ruby, I might just kill you later…" Said Yang, who is also being pushed to the wall.
"We should've taken 2 rounds!" Weiss whined loudly.
After a agonizing (literally) 2 minutes, the elevator dinged when it arrived at the top floor, Ozpin's Office.
Upon entering the room, the newcomers started to get nervous. Even Heavy was sweating a bit. The tone in the air is starting to get to them.
"Welcome to Beacon, or more suitably, Remnant." Greeted Ozpin as he swiveled his chair around, facing them. He stood up and held his hand out, which Heavy shook firmly.
"Now, what are your names?"
"Heavy's name is Heavy."
"Scout."
"AMERICA! MY NAME IS SOLDIER!" The Nazi killer screamed, much to the shock of Team RWBY, but Team R.E.D. seems to be holding it pretty well.
"Sniper. Australian."
"Without saying another word, Professor Ozpin handed out one piece of paper to the 4 mercenaries.
"Security…Guard?" Said Sniper as he looked at Ozpin confusingly.
"Wait it said security guard? I thought it said something else." Scout stated, due to him being illiterate.
The Heavy simply said nothing as he took a pen and signed the form. "Heavy agrees." He said as he handed the form back. The remaining 3 looked at each other before shrugging and signing their own job applications. Scout had to improvise, as he never had a signature before. Therefore he just drew his 'Handsome face' on the signature area.
"Hey Scout." Sniper called out.
"Yea Snipe?"
"Your job is different from ours." He pointed towards the paper.
The Scout took the Sniper's papers and compared it to his own. He noticed there was an extra line underneath the title.
"What does it say?" Said the young man as he pointed at the extra line of text.
"It says…Janitor."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Now that you all have signed your papers, Team RWBY will now escort you to your quarters. Also please take 2 rounds down the elevator. Ruby also must not be the one pressing the buttons." Ruby scratched the back of her head and smiled meekly.
-Staff's quarters corridor-
"Welcome to Beacon!" Said Ruby as she left the newly arrived 4 men in the temporary quarters given to them.
"So what do you think of them?" Yang asked her sister as she neared her.
"Their okay to me!" She said bubbly. Blake did not answer, just continued reading her book. But instead of the book she normally read, the book was a criminal record book, and it was turned to the page detailed 'Roman Torchwick'.
"Well I know one likes my curves!" Yang chuckled.
"Yang, don't be so disgusting." The Ice Queen facepalmed.
"I was just kidding!"
"It definitely didn't look like it when you showed him more cleavage." Ruby deadpanned.
-Warehouse 1-15 – 11 PM-
Roman was angry. No, furious. Not only did he lose 30 men in under a minute, but he will have to answer to Cinder later on.
'She is not going to be happy with this.' He thought as he lit a cigar with his lighter. He heard the sound of heels clapping behind him, and immediately knew who it was.
"Speak of the Grimm…" He mumbled under his breath.
"Roman, is there anything to report?" She smirked when she saw Roman's cold sweat drip.
"T…Thirty White Fang members were obliterated when a group of 4 men appeared. The locals say they appeared where that green flash of lightning struck. Why are you here?"
"Because I want to introduce you to our new…Ally. Mister?"
A man walked out of the shadows, hands behind his back. He was wearing a grey suit with blue tie, and his back glowed a golden yellow.
"Mann. Mister Gray Mann."
