Somewhere in Vale
A man is sitting on a couch, legs crossed. He was watching the news report on the robot horde invasion a few hours ago.
"As of right now, the Atlas military had arrived at Vale and is launching a counter-offensive on the robot horde which had claimed more than 13,000 lives. The commander of Atlas military, General Ironwood, is also leading the offensive." The camera cuts to an interview with the general. "We shall not bow down to the advancing horde, and we will crush them."
The unknown man grabbed the remote and turned the holo-TV off, grinning.
"The plan is going well, I presume?" A female voice called out.
The man stood up, revealing he was wearing a mask, and had red hair. "Yes, I shall begin phase two of the invasion."
The Frontline – Atlas Military Line
"Incoming fire!" A private called out, firing his Pulse rifle at the robot horde, which the locals have started to call: The Tsunami. This was because of the sea blue armor that the robots wore. The military personnel that failed to take cover in time were moved down by machine gun fire, bodies collapsing with a 'thud'.
A few of the Atlesian Knights managed to pick off a few robots before being destroyed, but that was just a dip in the bucket for The Tsunami. Near the front lines, a few Atlesian Paladins were firing dust cannons at the horde, dealing considerate amounts of damage.
The line began to fall apart, the Tsunami easily mowing any and all resisting personnel. Soon, the line was destroyed, and the Tsunami left death in its wake, continuing its slow march.
Beacon Academy
The reason why Huntsman haven't been deployed to the city yet, is because they are busy defending the academy itself from being overrun by the Tsunami. At the cliffs, 5 carriers parked themselves near the ocean port, constantly spewing out robots, for they are a carrier and also a mobile factory. To make matters worse, the Grimm in the Emerald Forest started attacking the academy, attracted to the negative energy given out by the defenders.
"I hope your all hungry!" Screamed Yang as she fired a few more long-range rounds at the Grimm, which were a bit of a help because they also happily munched on the robot horde, which in turn also helped destroy them, so it is now a three way offensive.
The Sniper is standing at a distance from all the commotion, taking out high priority targets or ones that endanger the lives of the Huntsmen. The Medic is running around, Medigun in hand, ready to heal any injured combatant. He occasionally stopped and sprayed a few needles at the Grimm/robot horde. The Heavy had already sustained several injuries, but is still mowing down enemies with Sasha, his minigun. The Spy is attaching sappers to large robots, slowing them down while backstabbing smaller robots and Grimm. Scout was running his bat along the heads of several robots and Grimm, knocking the robots' head clean off and snapping the ones of the Grimm. The Engineer deployed his newly-engineered Sentry Gun and proceeded to resupply the combatants with ammunition, dust or gunpowder. The Soldier was rocket jumping around, Market Gardening if he got the chance and shooting rockets at large groups, blowing them up into tiny pieces. The Demoman was still drunk, but still deadly as ever, as he mixed dual sword wielding with drunken dancing, accidentally decapitating a few enemies in the process.
Ruby was currently lying down in the infirmary, with Weiss and Blake by their leader's side. Ruby was looking out through the window, watching the battlefield unfold. Her Crescent Rose rested by her side, ready for action.
The Medic ordered her to rest for 3 days before reentering the battlefield, due to her body still needing to adjust from being newly brought back from the dead. She had seen the afterlife, what it is.
Flashback
Ruby opened her eyes, the unfamiliar feeling of falling traversing her body. She saw clouds, and blue skies, but there was no ground to be seen.
"Where… am I?" She stood up, but promptly fell down. She remembered that something happened to her body, and she felt excruciating pain just a moment ago, before her vision faded.
"Am I dead?" Thought Ruby, staring out into the beautiful clouds and skies. "ButthenYangwillbeallalone, howcouldIleavemyteamlikethat…" She rambled, but was interrupted when she saw something in the distance.
She couldn't make out what it was from this distance, so she called upon her semblance to travel faster. Surprisingly, her semblance didn't respond, forcing her to walk the way. When she approached the figure, she could now make out what it was. It was a person, wearing a white cape, back facing towards her. As she walked faster and closer, the figure started to turn around, before… She was abruptly woken up, finding herself in a surgical bed, with blood all over the place.
Present
Ruby pushed the thought of the Medic being a pedophile out of her mind, remembering that Yang had already beaten the crap out of the doctor before apologizing to him. She once again looked out the bedside window, and saw that the avenue is now cleared of any hostiles. She smiled, knowing that the Huntsmen had successfully defended the school from both the Tsunami and the Grimm. She could see multiple teams of Huntsmen and Huntresses run to the landing area and jumping on VTOL Bullheads, destination set for the city of Vale.
The door opened, and in came a battered Yang. She had grime all over her body, and some blood on her clothes. Her hair is even more unruly, but was surprisingly free of any blood or grime.
"Hey sis." The brawler called out weakly. She gave the bedridden girl a small hug, before lying down on another bed. The Medic then came in along with Engi and Spy.
"Stay still, this might sting a bit." Said Medic as he pulled out his Quick-fix Medigun, activating it. Yang instantly felt rejuvenated by the red healing liquid, but felt a bit of stinging in her wounds. The Medic proceeded to do so with the others before turning towards the 4 girls.
"I need to ask you all a question." This caught the attention of the team. "While I was operating on Ruby, I replaced her heart." Yang's fist clenched, while Ruby clutched her chest with both hands.
"Her newly replaced heart will now have the ability to be Ubercharged, meaning that she will be able to receive invulnerability for 8 seconds if I have a charge ready." Everyone nodded, with Yang's anger slowly subsidizing. "What I am about to ask, is zat I have 3 more Ubercharge capable hearts in stock. I can replace your heart, but it is completely up to you."
The 4 girls, except Ruby, looked at each other nervously, contemplating the choice in their minds. Blake raised her hand, and opened her mouth to ask a question.
"Are there any side effect to this transfer?"
"There will be minor heartaches for a few hours following the operation, but other than zat there is nothing else."
The Medic watched as the 3 remaining team members discuss among themselves, finally giving him an answer after a few minutes. "We agree to replace our hearts."
"Word of warning," The Medic smiled evilly. "This will hurt a good bit."
5 hours later
"You call that a minor heartache?!" Yang said while clutching her heart, in pain.
"Ja, the stronger your heart ache, the faster it will be gone. From the pain threshold… yours will be gone in one hour probably." He said, giving Yang some heart medicine.
"Uh…" Weiss was on her bed, suffering from the pain of heartache. "I need another dose of painkillers…" The Faunus said while pounding the table. The sight was horrible, all 3 girls just in pain, while Ruby was watching her team with a worried expression.
"Just hold out for another hour, then the pain would subside…"
After an hour of pained moans and groans and hundreds of table pounding, the 3 girls finally got up on their feet, ready to continue.
"Now, who wants a test run of their new Ubercharge capable hearts?" Yang just held her hand up, and the mad doctor simply pointed the Medigun at her, and activated the Ubercharge. The red stream flowed towards Yang, and she started to glow a bright red, body turning shiny.
"Wooo…" The Medic pulled out a German-made Luger and aimed it at Yang's head, earning him a shocked expression, and fired. The bullet harmlessly bounced off the brawler's body, who opened her eyes after hearing the bullet deflect.
"Huh, guess that's invulnerability!" She said excitedly. "Anybody else want to try? No? Then you 3 are assigned to defending this academy until your leader passes the 3 day rest period." Said Medic while walking out the door.
Once the Medic exited the room, the 4 girls exchanged glances, smirking. "Should we stay?" Ruby asked, looking at her team. The response was a 'no'.
Night
Scout and Sniper were on patrol today, the same as every day. They need to be extra alert these few days, due to the constant Tsunami invasions, leading to a few Atlas Military personnel stationed at the academy to help defend from possible attacks. Unbeknownst to the guards, 4 figures hid in the shadows, slowly moving towards the landing zone. After a good minute, the 4 unknown figures approached a Bullhead, before boarding it.
"Head to Vale city." Yang said to the sleeping pilot. After waking up, he looked at the 4 figures confusedly, before shrugging to himself and starting the Bullhead up.
"Ok, so we go to Vale, then we find the Atlas military line and we help them." Ruby said while doing waving her hands around. She was wearing a different set of clothes this time, as the clothes she usually wore was destroyed when she was sliced in half. The team nodded and took in the scenery. The city was in ruins, buildings on fire, and smoke billowing into the sky. The night sky was illuminated a bright yellow. On the streets, civilians are seen being evacuated, military personnel are fending off the incoming horde of nuts and bolts, but failing as the numbers overwhelmed them, massacring the Atlas Knights and soldiers. As the bullhead stopped in the middle of a street, the 4 girls disembarked and the Bullhead flew away back to Beacon.
The street they landed on was relatively empty. No sign of the Tsunami, but the road was splattered with blood, a clear sign of conflict. After scouting around for a few minutes, the sound footsteps are heard and Team RWBY got ready. What they expected was a small contingent of robots, but no.
They sent a fucking battalion at them.
Thanks to their horrible luck that a skirmish was happening just ahead of them, the machine battalion saw their Bullhead and steadily marched towards them. The 4 members drew their weapons and opened fire at the machines, destroying dozens. But for every robot destroyed, two more replaced it, with the goal of overpowering their enemies through sheer numbers.
"Ruby, get down!" Shouted Weiss as a rocket passed by Ruby's head, destroying a building behind them. Ruby continued firing her Crescent Rose, destroying more robots. Yang preferred to get close and personal, using her martial arts skill to the greatest. Blake was slicing away at the metallic armor until they break, picking off important targets.
"Look out!" Blake looked behind her, and she was knocked back by the shockwave of a nearby explosion, sending her flying. Her aura depleted, leaving her vulnerable. She stood up, but was shot in the shoulder by a Sniper bot. She let out a blood curling scream as blood erupted out of the wound.
A loud whizzing sound filled the air, before a crossbow bolt struck Blake, earning another pained groan. But when the crossbow struck her, the bullet hole sealed itself and the piece of lead popped out of the wound.
Blake looked at the crossbow bolt in wonder, before hearing a sound resembling an artillery shell about to hit it's mark, and looking up. The team saw the Soldier, holding a rocket launcher, flying through the air and directing several rockets towards the horde, sending multiple robots flying from the fiery explosions.
The Soldier landed in front of Blake, who was still leaning on a wall, and chuckled. He dropped his rocket launcher and threw two primed grenades at the enemy battalion, creating a loud BOOM and destroying several more robots. The Bullhead overhead landed behind the 4 girls, and 8 men disembarked. They were the members of Team R.E.D, all ready for combat. The Medic turned and shot 3 crossbow bolts at Ruby, Yang and Weiss, healing them of any injuries. Team R.E.D. ran up ahead of Team RWBY, and all started to set up a defensive position, taking cover behind cars and debris.
The Heavy looked around, seeing everybody is ready, and let out a cry that could be heard a thousand miles away.
"URAAAAAAAAAA!"
And they all opened fire.
A/N: Writer's block is getting to me now, FUCK. Nothing to say here, just have a good day, night, yadi yadi yada…
How's this chapter? I felt it turned out very horribly. Leave your opinion in the reviews and good day!
