You know what I'm going to say so I won't say it.
Somewhere In Vale
"Gray…Is it?" A male voice asked.
"Correct. Now I know you are going to ask why the spies I sent did not report back."
"…Continue."
"They are already dead. Well, destroyed, to be more exact." The old man stated while shrugging his shoulders. "I can send more, but the enemy would already be on alert, especially the RED members, and the 4 girls that you mentioned."
"Wait, how did you know that those 2 groups destroyed the infiltrators, huh?" Roman inquired, with annoyance in his tone.
"I installed cameras into their heads, so I can clearly see what's happening."
"…Now, Cinder told me that you have an army. I want to ask, how big is that army? It definitely won't be bigger than the White Fang." The infamous thief said with a chuckle. Gray Mann motioned him to follow him, and the thief complied. The old man led the thief to the entrance of the hideout, by the docks. The Mann checked his watch and grinned.
"My army is here."
"Where are they? I don't see them anywhere!" Roman Torchwick said while looking around. Suddenly, he heard a low growling noise…Coming from the ocean? The sound gradually got louder, and the ocean started to rumble. From the ocean out came five 7-stories high tanks, with blue paint on them. They slowly moved up the shore, and stopped when they are near land. The 5 tank's frontal area lowered down, revealing an army of enormous proportions and never before seen.
"Wha…" Roman said while he watched the robots march slowly out of the 5 tanks, each tank containing at least 1000 robots, after the robots marched out, 3 smaller tanks exited each of the Carrier Tanks, as Gray named them. The smaller tank's tracks made minor cracks in the ground as they made their way into the empty warehouses. The army, once settled inside, all deactivated, with a few still active and patrolling the area nearby.
"…" Roman couldn't find words. With this amount of forces, even if they are incompetent, they could overrun the entire city of Vale.
"When do we begin the invasion?" Gray asked, his expression smug.
Beacon – New Team R.E.D.'s dorm room
"Now, we all know that those robots that Sniper, Scout, Soldier and Heavy fought are now in Vale, and have dispatched personnel to infiltrate Beacon disguised as 4 girls from Team RWBY." The 8 other mercenaries nodded at Spy.
"From now on, keep our eyes peeled for any suspicious individuals, for I'm certain the leader of those robots would want to send more spies into our ranks, since the first attempt failed." Scout smirked a bit.
"Now, let's have a change of security plans. Instead o' only 4 people acting as security, we'll have the entire team as security, AKA us." Engineer pulled out the blueprint of Beacon Academy and laid it on top of the round table in their room. "Scout and Sniper will patrol the courtyard. Heavy will patrol the cafeteria, Spy, you will keep an eye out around the library. Medic, you take the landing pad. Pyro will support the Medic. Demoman will patrol the perimeter around the combat arena." He said while pointing to different points on the blueprint.
"Are we all clear?"
"Clear!"
"Also, Medic, just inject Soldier with 10 hours worth of anesthesia when we go out to patrol and restrain him to the bed, ok?" Spy said to the doctor who nodded at his request.
Meanwhile, Team RWBY
"Let's go!" Said Ruby in her cheerful voice. The girl was wearing different clothes today, which is a somewhat rare occasion. The team is preparing to go out, with Ruby and Weiss going to the CCT while Blake goes along with Sun, a Faunus to a White Fang recruitment meeting, and Yang with Neptune going to the club she wrecked a few months back.
While walking through the courtyard, Team RWBY spotted the members of Team R.E.D. in the area. Spy came over and asked where they were going. Ruby told her companions to go ahead, while she answered Spy's question.
"We were just going out to investiga-I-I-I mean have f-fun!" She stuttered, sweat visible on her face. Spy nodded and casted a sideways glance towards, before waving her off and heading back to his team.
"She told me they're going to have fun, but I can see she's lying, she had a slip up. Apparently the team is going to investigate something…"
"We follow zem!" Medic said.
"Agreed. Me and Scout will follow Yang. Medic, you solo and go to see what Ruby is up to. You will have to cover Weiss as well, because I overheard those 2 are going to be in a group. Pyro, you check Blake, the rest of you, stay here, but be prepared if we contact you for help."
"Mission begins now!" Scout tried his best to imitate the Administrators voice.
Scout and Spy
The duo were trailing the blonde and the blue-haired boy to a secluded area in the downtown, the building they entered had nightclub music coming out from it, and Scout stayed behind to guard his motorcycle which he 'borrowed' from a random guy to chase the duo and to be ready when they need to escape. Spy disguised himself as a civilian and entered the building.
When he entered, a man wearing a black suit and red tie stopped him, saying it's for VIP's only. The Spy sighed and pulled out 100 Lien from his pocket and the bouncer took it and immediately let him in. Once he got in, he saw Yang and the Neptune boy talking to the bartender. After sitting down and ordering a drink, he drank the whiskey and noticed that the duo is leaving. He tapped his earpiece and warned Scout to hide himself and the bike. After waiting a moment, Spy went out and saw Yang checking her scroll. Suddenly, a giant robot sped past the road, smashing a few cars away. Yang revved her motorcycle up and sped towards the robot.
"Scout! Now!"
"On it!"
The young man started the motorcycle and sped past Spy, who caught onto the bike and sat in the back.
"Wait, is that Pyro running?"
A few minutes earlier
The Pyro is sitting on top of the building in which Blake is in, along with her Faunus friend. Right now, the infamous Roman Torchwick just revealed his robot, which is stolen from Atlas military.
After observing the area for a while, the lights went out as gunfire could be heard, and the robot is heard powering up. A moment later, the window to the left of the Pyro broke and out came the duo of Faunus. Soon, the robot just Michael Bay'ed through the wall and rushed towards the running Blake and Sun.
The Pyro fished out his Mannpower grappling hook, and shot it towards the robot. He was pulled towards it and he landed on top of the metal beast. The pilot noticed his presence and swung the robot's hands wildly in an attempt to get the flame-resistant man off the chassis. The Pyro pulled out the shotgun and unloaded 3 shells into the back of the robot before grappling onto the building nearby Blake and propelled towards it. While he was in mid-air, he looked back, and saw Yang with her friend trailing the robot, with Spy and the Scout trailing her.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Blake asked when the Pyro landed beside them. He 'said' something but it was undecipherable for the duo, which continued running.
Medic
"Vhy do I have to observe zem…" The doctor mumbled. Right now, he was hiding behind a corner, eavesdropping on Ruby as she talked to a redhead, which he remembered as the girl that shot the laser when they first arrived at Beacon. He learnt that the redhead is actually a robot, but is sentient and has the ability to contain a soul.
After listening for a while, Penny dumped Ruby into a bin and talked to the 2 Atlesian guards. After Penny went away, Ruby shrieked in the trash can, which prompted the Medic to check on her in case something happened.
"Ahh!" Ruby continued squealing.
The Medic facepalmed when the cause of the shrieking in a rat. The Medic picked it up and threw it away.
"Are you…Following me?"
"Ja! You slipped up!" His response he got was a weak laugh. Ruby's scroll vibrated all of a sudden and she opened it. After reading the message, Ruby immediately took off. The Medic tried to run after her, but she was too fast.
Present
Right now, Spy, Scout, Pyro are facing the giant robot. Team RWBY is standing behind them, weapons drawn. The robot fired a salvo of rockets towards the 2 teams, which were deflected by the Pyro, sending them back to the sender. The robot staggered back, and two cannons sprout out from it's back. The dual cannons fired what seems like plasma at the girls, who expertly dodged the projectiles. "Freezer burn!" Ruby shouted. Immediately, Yang and Weiss moved forward, Weiss making the ground surrounding the robot turn into ice, while Yang jumped high into the air after Weiss backed up and slammed her fist down into the ice. The intense heat mixed with the ice created a thick mist putting the robot's motion sensors at a disadvantage. The motion sensors' red targeting line appeared and started scanning the area for any movement. Blake moved through the mist and the motion sensors picked up movement, but failed to recognize it. The pilot grew tired and began blind firing, missing all but one shot. The motion sensors picked up something yet again, and the robot fired a shot towards it.
The shot impacted near the Scout, blowing his left leg off. He screamed in agony, and the robot was running towards him, mechanical hands turned into a fist. When Scout was certain he was gone yet again, the robot suddenly slowed down immensely. Spy was on top of the robot attaching sappers everywhere, the legs, the hands, the cockpit, even the crotch area along with the motion sensors. This allowed enough time for Weiss to pick the injured Scout up and put him in a safer location.
"PYRO!" Spy yelled.
"MELT IT!" The Pyro complied and took his flamethrower out, running towards the robot. It noticed the incoming enemy and fired a salvo of rockets at the man. Then, defying all sense of logic and gravity, the Pyro redirected the rockets, sending them flying below his feet, and he jumped.
What happened next was both awe-inspiring and horrifying. The Pyro propelled himself into the air with the help of the enemy's rockets, and flew up 30 meters. He landed on top of the robot, crouched. He began to fire his flamethrower at the robot's back, where all the computing systems seem to be located. The intense heat melted the systems, making the robot malfunction. It fired plasma everywhere, the girls and the 2 remaining mercenaries having a hard time dodging them.
Overhead, a few cars were impacted by the plasma and exploded, killing their occupants. Some plasma shots hit the pillars supporting the roads, and the roads began to wobble until it lost balance and collapsed. When the top most highways collapsed, the lower highways collapsed as well. Dozens of cars fell to the ground, sending metal flying around. Team RWBY and R.E.D. ran around, avoiding the falling pieces of metal, along with cars and people. Soon, the robot was crushed by a falling piece of debris, crushing the occupant. When all the madness ended, the ground was cracked, with cars and debris littered around, along with the blood of the unlucky occupants in the crushed vehicles.
Today, shit just hit the fan.
The Next Day
"Last night, an incident involving 7 people and an Atlesian Paladin caused the destruction of 3 highway bridges along with 23 deaths and 21 injured. The incident happened at…"
Spy was clutching his head, headache worsening. Ever since he was interrogated by the police yesterday along with Team RWBY and Scout and Pyro, he has been getting constant headaches. Through some magic or just dumb luck, the police did not press charges onto the 7 men and let them go.
The occupant of the still-in-production Atlesian Paladin was Roman Torchwick, whose lower body had been crushed by falling debris while he was operating the Paladin. Now, he's in a hospital room being monitored by Atlesian Knights 24/7, ensuring escape is nigh near impossible. Ever since the incident last night, the activity rate of the White Fang just plummeted down, not just gradually, but from an activity rate of 6 robberies per day, it plummeted down to 0 overnight.
Right now, Spy was sitting in his team's dorm room and is watching the news about last night's incident. It appears that the public only cares about the capture of Roman Torchwick, for that was 80% of the news session. The rest of his team went city-seeing and Team RWBY is probably being lectured by Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch. Scout's missing leg has been regrown but he still suffers a bit from phantom pain.
"What shit did we get ourselves into…?"
Warehouse 1-17
Gray Mann was sitting on his chair, watching the television. After watching the news report on the incident last night at the highways, he stood up, and walked towards a door. He knocked on it, and the door opened, revealing Cinder.
"Final inspection?" Gray asked politely. She nodded and followed the man. The almost century-year old man led her to the docks yet again. He pointed Cinder towards the direction of the robot army.
"This is all of them?"
"No, reinforcements are arriving…Now."
This time, the ocean started to rumble as well, but instead of 5 carriers, this wave had 20. Each opened up, and out spewed more robots. After around 800 robots each carrier had been deployed, 25 giant robots, even bigger than the Atlesian Paladin, came out of the carriers each.
"Total forces, 25,000 robots. 5000 Soldiers bots, 2000 Medi bots, 1000 Sniper bots, 5000 Heavy bots, 2000 Spy bots, 3000 Scout bots, 2000 Pyro bots, 1000 Demolition Bots, 2000 Engineer Bots, 1000 Sentry busters, 500 tanks and 500 Giants." The Mann recited from memory of the forces he sent to conquer Vale.
"What are the specialties of these bots?"
"Soldier bots, rocket wielders. Medi bots, healers. Sniper bots, long range takedown. Heavy bots, raw firepower. Spy bots, infiltrators. Scout bots, recon and guerilla tactics. Pyro bots, steel melting flame. Demolition bots, explosive experts. Engineer bots, support and area denial. Sentry busters, suicide bombers. Tanks, high-yield explosives and no armaments, but highly durable. Giants, stronger and more powerful versions of the aforementioned bots." Mann explained.
Cinder looked at the huge robot army, a grin forming on her face. She lit her hand in flames and smiled.
"Begin the invasion."
